Since he was drafted in 2010, Everson Griffen has moved all over the field as the Minnesota Vikings continue their search for where he fits on their team. From defensive end (his original position) to linebacker to gunner on punts, the Vikings haven't yet figured out his niche as an NFL player. They simply plug Griffen in wherever they most need his athleticism at the time.
That trend might continue in 2012, a season that could see the Vikings field one of their thinnest linebacking groups in recent history. Rumors have emerged that the Vikings could again be looking to switch Griffen to linebacker in hopes of bolstering one of their weakest positions.
The current starting lineup consists of Pro Bowler Chad Greenway, up-and-comer Erin Henderson and Jasper Brinkley, who missed all of the 2011 season while nursing a hip injury. Although there's little concern about Greenway or Henderson, fears are beginning to arise that Brinkley might still be out of the picture due to a groin injury. The former 2009 fifth-round pick out of South Carolina has missed all of the Vikings' offseason workouts and is questionable for the start of training camp.
Apart from the three starters, the Vikings offer little talent amongst their linebacking depth.
Solomon Elimimian, who was signed this offseason from the CFL, is an exciting young talent but might be limited to a backup role as he transitions to the NFL. Veteran Marvin Mitchell has some experience, but will likely be limited to special teams while serving as an emergency backup. Youngsters Larry Dean and Tyrone McKenzie are unproven and have yet to show that they're ready for an expanded role in the defense. 2012 seventh-round pick Audie Cole is promising, but his rawness and lack of physical tools make him nothing more than a special teamer at this point.
The only other linebackers on the training camp roster are Corey Paredes and Tyler Nielsen, both undrafted rookies who are longshots to even make the team.
So what's the best way to take advantage of an athletic defensive playmaker while supporting a position of need? Take a player with the talent of Griffen and make him a linebacker.
First and foremost, making the switch for Griffen allows the Vikings to put an electrifying talent on the field more often. It also gives them the opportunity to solve a lingering problem with a creative solution. The move would get him out from behind defensive ends Jared Allen and Brian Robison, which could easily allow him more than the 10-15 snaps per game he got in 2011. No matter the reasoning, Griffen giving it another go at linebacker offers more positives than negatives.
Whether or not Griffen makes the switch permanently for the 2012 season will be decided during training camp. The option will definitely be explored extensively once the Vikings reconvene.
It might not be the solve-all the Vikings need at linebacker, but Griffen would immediately provide the linebacking corps with some much-needed depth. He's the type of talent that deserves playing time and a position switch would be the best way to give him that in Minnesota.

My family and I stopped at the pop-up restaurant, Burger Parlor, in downtown Fullerton on Saturday night after a body-aching day of Fantasy Baseball at Dodger Stadium.
I love the idea of dining at a "restaurant within a restaurant." Like food trucks, pop-up restaurants make you feel like you're eating from a secret roaming hidden gem that serves delish street food.
In the case of Burger Parlor, you don't have to chase it down.
Chef-owner Joseph Mahon, for now, is calling the Rialto Cafe his permanent home Wednesday through Saturday nights. The cafe is open for breakfast and lunch only, allowing Mahon to take over at night with his menu of gourmet Angus burgers, shakes, thick-cut wedge fries and a rare collection of bottled craft brew beers.
He debuted Burger Parlor earlier this month. The menu features about 10 gourmet burgers ranging in price from $8 to $11.
Learn more about the burger, and see photos: Is this Orange County's next best burger?
The restaurant is at 108 W. Wilshire Ave. It is open Wednesday through Saturday only from 6-11 p.m.

Skip to comments.Surtsey still surprises (land features thought to take millions of years form in less than a decade)
Posted on 02/16/2009 9:40:48 AM PST by GodGunsGuts
Surtsey still surprises
by David Catchpoole
After the island of Surtsey was born of a huge undersea volcanic eruption off Iceland in 1963,1 geologists were astonished at what they found.
As one wrote: On Surtsey, only a few months sufficed for a landscape to be created which was so varied and mature that it was almost beyond belief.2
There were wide sandy beaches, gravel banks, impressive cliffs, soft undulating land, faultscarps, gullies and channels and boulders worn by the surf (see picture left), some of which were almost round, on an abrasion platform cut into the cliff.2 And all of this despite the extreme youth3 of the island!
The geologists surprise is understandable, given the modern thinking that young Surtseys varied and mature features ought to have needed long periods of timemillions of yearsto form....
(Excerpt) Read more at creationontheweb.com ...
C'mon GGG, don't confuse the evos with the facts.
Uniformitarian buster ping!
We have grown tired of sitting on the floor, so we're off to look for furniture for our new house.
All the best—GGG
But but but according to the holy principle of uniformitarianism, this couldn't have happened anywhere else on the earth, not ever, not at all!
/typical evo
Almost forgot to ping you ping :o)
Fortunately, you are anything but typical TQC. Wish me luck on my hunt for inexpensive, high quality furniture! (Do the two go together?...we shall soon find out!).
Same thing happened with Mt St Helens 1980 eruption. A pyroclastic flow carved out a huge canyon (referred to by many as a mini grand canyon) in hours and hydrological sorting occurred and formed the typical strata layering we see in other places claimed to be millions of years old, in a day or two.
The difference is that we were around to see it created and KNOW it took an extremely short period of time to come about. If we hadn't the geologists would be pointing to it as being millions of years old.
It's only a surprise to those who think that they know everything already.
It's a shame, though. Too bad there aren't about 10,000,000 more of me.... (j/k)
Wish me luck on my hunt for inexpensive, high quality furniture! (Do the two go together?...we shall soon find out!).
Depends on where you buy it from. You can find good second-hand furniture at thrift shops and garage sales, which are usually old enough to not be the cheap, particle-board junk that you'll find at Wal-Mart. They may have a few nicks, but if you're not concerned about that so much, then it's all good. I'm actually rebuilding a bookcase that was more or less knocked apart in a car wreck I has three weeks ago (the shelf was in the back and was thrown all around). The studs and whatnot were ripped out, so the finish won't look great, but I don't care, it's just going into my office study to hold books - something badly needed. I currently have 835 books in my personal library, about ~100 of which are sitting on their sides, piled on top of the ones that are standing properly. Need outweighs aesthetics.
Of course this disproves nothing that has been postulated up till now... just like the rock that came to life this could only have happened this one time. sarc/
Yep—all you're missing are the sedimentary layers that take millions/billions of years to form.
Cool things to think about later ping.
Yes, they were so astonished that they all changed their studies to reflect a 6,000 year old Earth.
Oh wait, no they didn't.
Oh yeah, I'm all into that. Take the Grand Canyon. Product of millions of years of erosion", except, I guess, for those areas that look like they were cut with a rock saw and are barely eroded at all.
Don't neglect used furniture stores. I have found great bargains there. I have bought used tables, chairs, bookcases and a buffet.
How long do you suppose it took these sedimentary layers to form???
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, my wife thinks used furniture is "gross." I just want something to sit on that leaves enough money left over to put dinner on the table :o)
I don't know what you've posted, so a scientist would be unable to offer an opinion. That doesn't stop others, though.
I have a similar book problem. I have already given away several hundred books to used book stores, and I still have box after box of books sitting in the garage (not to mention all the full bookshelves in the house)! I am literally trying to convince my wife to consider used furniture as we speak. She said she will consider it, but only after we look at IKEA and Living Spaces first. What's a guy to do?
Surtsey and my wife were born on the same day!
I see a vacation spot in your future!
Look up Spirit Lake, near Mt. St. Helens, sometime. The bark from the pine trees knocked into the lake fell off the trees, settled to the bottom and was covered with silt. It will be fully formed coal within a few more decades.
Figure 2: Fine layering was produced within hours at Mt St Helens on June 12, 1980 by hurricane velocity surging flows from the crater of the volcano. The 25-foot thick (7.6 m), June 12 deposit is exposed in the middle of the cliff. It is overlain by the massive, but thinner, March 19,1982 mudflow deposit, and is underlain by the air-fall debris from the last hours of the May 18, 1980, nine-hour eruption. http://creationontheweb.com/content/view/1541/
I will. I remember hearing something about that, but never followed up. Thanks a bunch—GGG
Thanks for the ping. I'd never heard of Surtsey before.
See post #7
I had to respond to your post. I heard that it's been named "engineers canyon" but I can't find any info.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to have learned of it though
LOL...How very perceptive of you, Metmom :o)
It would probably help if you asked a geologist questions about erosion and earth, rather than a biologist.
Let's assume that it is. Does that mean you can extrapolate this specific case to sedimentary layers in general? That you can ignore the incontrovertible geologial evidence that dates layers to hundreds of millions of years?
See post 25.
Make that post 33!
The other thing they found was that acres of trees went sliding into a nearby lake, rolled around for days/weeks and were stripped of their bark, then got waterlogged and sank into the muck and were subsequently buried, at all different angles, and became petrified in a year or two.
Petrification always being regarded as occurring over thousands of years by geologists under 'natural' conditions.
"Evos" have nothing to do with this discussion. This post is about the age of the earth. However, your post does spring from the same incredible set of misperceptions that spawn such questions as, "If evolution really happened, why are there still monkeys, huh? Gotcha!"
Your wife really has things backwards. IKEA makes overpriced junk out of fiberboard. It may temporarily look attractive, but has no lasting value and will deteriorate with time.
But if you buy used furniture (and there's lots of good stuff available, especially now) it will last for centuries. Refinish it and it looks new. Buy the right styles and they'll never be out of fashion or look dated. Wooden furniture that's not made of good mahogany, cherry, or walnut can be painted. One strong piece can make a room. Some of these things can be passed on to descendants when you are old, or resold.
You and your wife should consult some good shelter magazines for ideas. It just takes taste and imagination.
[[How long do you suppose it took these sedimentary layers to form??? ]]
Don't be silly- don't you know that there are NO evidences for young earth or the flood? Don't you know that evidences that have cropped up have been 'explained away' and 'thoroughly refuted' a logn time ago? Don't you know that there is an 'explanation' for everyhting? (As long as you have a good imagination, and pention for story-telling?)
Shhhhhh, don't ask questions like that. It makes you sound unscientific.
You are definitely starting to convince me. Right now we are lucking for a sofa set. Perhaps that's why she's saying used furniture is "gross." You know what's funny, one of her favorite television programs is the Antiques RoadShow!
IKEA? You're kidding, right? Who would want that Swedish made, socialistic looking junk in their house????
==Lets assume that it is. Does that mean you can extrapolate this specific case to sedimentary layers in general?
If nothing else, it should make you pause and think. And let's not forget about the newly created island that is the subject of this post. Many, many more examples could be given. YEC predicts these kinds of events, whereas uniformitarians are left baffled. And trust me, many, many more examples could be given.
This can be explained in one word. Asian. My wife is Asian. That is all you need to know.
That's where I collect all sorts of rocks for my rock garden.
Last time this area was a volcanic intrusion of any kind was several billion years ago. Still, there was a gigantic meteor hit the continental margin out here near the DELMARVA and that left a layered uplift of chunks ~ just like any impact crater ~ you can still make out the outlines if you know what you're looking for.
In between "Snowball" and "meteor" this was a chunk of North Africa. You find rocks typical of the region in Morocco.
Maybe God is trying to tell us that we don't know so much after all.
Thanks for the info!
Yes, there is an explanation for everything. Unfortunately for the uniformitarians, that explanation only goes back around 6,000 years. Mention this explanation, and steam starts shooting out of their ears, and springs start flying out of their head :o)
Unfortunately, no. One does not base rational science on something that just makes you think. Sound geological science proves otherwise using carbon dating among other tools. Now, I know that YECs say that carbon hasn't always deteriorated this way...
Fortunately, the geologists and engineers that are employed in industries where objectivity on this subject means money (petroleum, for example) are considerable more astute.
I can understand why she feels that used upholstery is a little disgusting. Depends on where it comes from. You never know what bug eggs might be in something from the Salvation Army. When I suggested buying used, I was thinking more of bedstead, tables, dressers, chests, wardrobes, sideboard, etc.—the hard goods.
Rather than get a "sofa set" (by which I'm guessing you mean a sofa and matching loveseat), you might consider buying a sofa and two chairs that match each other but complement, rather than exactly match, the sofa; plus one accent chair of a different style altogether. This will give you much more flexibility as you move and your lives change; you can rearrange the component pieces, move them to different rooms, change things up in a way you can't do with a sofa set. It also means you could buy a single sofa today and have something to sit on, then go back for chairs later when you see a sale and have a bit more money.
Remember, IKEA sells different lines, and even within a line they will use different materials for different parts (hardwood visible surfaces, paperboard backs) and that sort of thing.
My kitchen is 100% solid European white oak cabinet fronts from IKEA. The floor is 100% solid bamboo.
I even have a couple of Poang chairs in the living room.
Ever sit in a Poang?
Once bought a Billy bookcase. Had to trim 2 inches off each shelf to fit it into a "place". The shelves were made of pressed aromatic cedar ~ just absolutely incredible when I cut into them. Didn't paint the ends over so if you want to snif them, it's still OK.

Securities Markets Become More Open
Clouse, Thomas, Global Finance
China will allow foreign brokerage firms to play stronger roles in the country's securities markets, according to new guidelines that took effect at the beginning of the year. Security firm joint ventures can now sponsor and underwrite stock and bond offerings, the rules said. However, foreign firms can still own only up to one-third of joint-venture brokerage firms, and those joint-venture companies are prevented from trading domestic A-shares. Foreignen can also buy strategic stakes in listed Chinese brokerages, which have more freedom to trade than joint-venture companies. These stakes are capped at 20% for one firm, however, and total foreign ownership is limited to 25%.
China Investment Corp., the investment fund formed to manage a portion of China's foreign exchange reserves, announced in December that it would invest $5 billion for a 9.9% stake in US investment bank Morgan Stanley. The deal marks the third major investment for China Investment Corp., formed in September of last year, which already owns stakes in US-based private equity company Blackstone and China Railway Group, listed in Hong Kong. …

The U.S. Department of Education's statistical and testing arm, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), released its latest "progress" report November 1st: The survey measuring fourth- and eighth-grade scores on the controversial National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP, was billed as having found "significant" improvement for both grades in math and a slight improvement in reading — until one examines the numbers. The Washington Times piece by Ben Wolfgang, reported that reading scores among fourth-graders "remained flat on the study's 500-point scale," results that overall fall far short of the proficiency standards set for 2014 in math, reading and science by the No Child Left Behind Act. This Act is currently being rewritten to provide waivers and other changes to accommodate its failure without admitting so outright.
Despite the public perception that public school teachers in general are underpaid, Jason Richwine, senior policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation and co-author of "Assessing the Compensation of Public-School Teachers," says "the reality is that it's just not true. There's no way to look at the data and conclude that they are underpaid. They are certainly paid more than they can get if they work in the private sector…" In fact, Richwine found that "public-school teachers receive compensation about 52% higher than their skills would otherwise garner in the private sector."
When Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) released his economic plan, which calls for eliminating the U.S. Department of Education, the howls of outrage from the media were predictable. Paul was accused of wanting to end the federal student loan program immediately and, therefore, of being anti-education.
All summer long, news sources reiterated complaints about the once-vaunted No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act as being unachievable. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, many state governors, the teacher unions, and other worthies called for "waivers" to underperforming schools and a serious overhaul to NCLB, ostensibly because many (even most) schools could not reach the goals of 100 percent proficiency in math and reading by 2014. Indeed, many could not even make significant progress toward that goal in the interim years.
Education's ArmageddonWritten by Beverly K. Eakman
Just as young people were headed to universities across the nation and the K-12 back-to-school season was percolating in parents' minds, a front-page Washington Times' headline disclosed on August 17: "Scores show students aren't ready for college — 75% may need remedial classes."

In the world of daring anarchist sabotage, screwing with government toilets ranks up there with scrawling Circle-As on a bathroom mirror. It takes neither skill,
In the world of daring anarchist sabotage, screwing with government toilets ranks up there with scrawling Circle-As on a bathroom mirror. It takes neither skill, nor courage. What takes remarkably more skill is actually failing to sabotage a toilet--something that a couple local anarchists succeeded at marvelously on Monday.
Can't imagine what tipped them off.
After they left, the workers looked in the toilets and found globs of cement, which they quickly scooped out (we hope while wearing gloves), leaving no damage to the toilets and no City Hall employees without a place to take a shit.
Meanwhile, a post on PugetSoundAnarchists.org says:
Sometime yesterday we entered the new city hall in Olympia Washington and damaged the plumbing in both the male and females bathroom with quickset cement. This action comes on the heels of May Day. A day where anarchists should be remembering the fight of all those who came before them, and we think this remembrance should come in the form of a continuation of the struggle. We must never forget all those who the state has stolen from us, and we must continue our attacks. We do these attacks because we are anarchists and we desire the immediate destruction of both the state and capital. This action done in solidarity with the five anarchists from the Haymarket riot whom the state either directly of indirectly executed. And all those who continue to wage war on all forms of domination.Total Solidarity with the Haymarket Anarchists!Kill Their Kings and Burn Their KingdomAnarchists
Total Solidarity with the Haymarket Anarchists!
Kill Their Kings and Burn Their Kingdom
So the reason for trying to plug government toilets in Olympia, Wash. in 2011 is apparently to avenge the deaths of five anarchists who were killed in Chicago the late 1800s.
Way to stick it to 'em, morons.

The Augustus Countdown
If we can't make our republican system of government work, eventually the people will clamor for a leader who can sweep it all away "The historical model I keep invoking is the Roman Republic, which didn't fall all at once when Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon or his nephew Octavian became the Emperor Augustus, but had been on such a downward spiral of norm-busting dysfunction for so long (about a century) that it was actually a relief to many Romans when Augustus put the Republic out of its misery. In "Countdown" I pointed out the complexity of that downward trend: about half of the erosion in Rome was done by the good guys, in order to seek justice for popular causes that the system had stymied."

Every cell of this grid contains the starting point to one of our journeys to Rome. Now that we have our 486,713 starting points we need to find out how we could reach Rome as our destination. For this we created a algorithm that calculates one route for every trip. The more often a single street segment is used, the stronger it is drawn on the map. The maps as outcome of this project is somewhere between information visualization and data art, unveiling mobility and a very large scale.Some beautiful and interesting visualizations of transportation models for Europe and the world, including all the towns called "Rome" in the United States.

Mary Beard: why ancient Rome matters to the modern world. "Failure in Iraq, debates about freedom, expenses scandals, sex advice … the Romans seem versions of ourselves.

When In Roma
The unveiling of a new sporting venue is, in and of itself, not terribly out of the ordinary. In fact, there have been numerous new stadium projects proposed for Rome over the years, though none have made it past the mock-up stage. There is a sense on this day, however, that something is different. It is because of the two suited figures sitting at the center of the room, businessmen known throughout Rome simply as gli Americani — the Americans.
"John Williams's resurrection from the boneyard of obscurity"
In 2010 Alan Prendergast wrote a long article about the life of novelist John Williams and how he was beginning, at long last, to find a sizable audience. How true that turned out to be, as Williams' 1965 novel Stoner subsequently became a bestseller all over Europe, first in French translation, but later elsewhere in Europe, and it has begun to get glowing notices in his native US. Williams is not around to enjoy the success, as he passed away in 1994. Now another of his novels, Augustus, has also begun its rise from obscurity. The New York Review of Books republished it last year on the occasion of the 2000th anniversary of the first Roman Emperor's death. On the NYRB website you can read Daniel Mendelsohn's fine introduction to the book.
"I wanted to leave a monument to the Roman plebe."
Giuseppe Gioachino Belli was a 19th Century poet who lived in Rome and wrote sonnets in the Romanesco dialect spoken by the poor of his native city. An accountant by trade, he wrote from the perspective of working class Romans living in the theocratic Papal States, and has been referred to as the voice of Rome. Translating his work has caused translators some difficulty, with many opting for equivalent dialects, such as Peter Dale who used working class speech of his native Melbourne as a model. Anthony Burgess made his Belli Mancunian, while Mike Stocks rendered Belli into something closer to standard English. Collections of translated sonnets by Belli can be read on Andrea Pollett's Virtual Roma website and on Maurizio Mosetti's site about Belli.

"But Freud had a second fear: a fear of Rome's layers. In formal treatises, he compared the psyche to an ancient city, with many layers of architecture built one on top of another, each replacing the last, but with the old structures still present underneath. In private writings he phrased this more personally, that he was terrified of ever visiting Rome because he was terrified of the idea of all the layers and layers and layers of destroyed structures hidden under the surface, at the same time present and absent, visible and invisible. He was, in a very deep way, absolutely right." [more inside]

During the reign of Constantine the Great, the Roman senator and poet Publilius Optatianus Porphyrius was sent into exile for crimes unknown. He succeeded in regaining favor and his good name by composing a series of poems in praise of the emperor which looked like nothing else. His poetry was an evolution of the Greek tradition of pattern poetry, but he took it a much more complex level, as Arrigo Lora Totino explains. In an illustrated article, John Stephan Edwards goes through the poetry of Porphyrius, showing the evolution of his craft.

The Stanford Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World
Spanning one-ninth of the earth's circumference across three continents, the Roman Empire ruled a quarter of humanity through complex networks of political power, military domination and economic exchange. These extensive connections were sustained by premodern transportation and communication technologies that relied on energy generated by human and animal bodies, winds, and currents. Conventional maps that represent this world as it appears from space signally fail to capture the severe environmental constraints that governed the flows of people, goods and information. Cost, rather than distance, is the principal determinant of connectivity. For the first time, ORBIS allows us to express Roman communication costs in terms of both time and expense. By simulating movement along the principal routes of the Roman road network, the main navigable rivers, and hundreds of sea routes in the Mediterranean, Black Sea and coastal Atlantic, this interactive model reconstructs the duration and financial cost of travel in antiquity.

Economic crisis, mounting national debt, excessive foreign commitments -- this is no way to run an empire. America needs serious strategic counseling. And fast. It has never been Rome, and to adopt its strategies no -- its ruthless expansion of empire, domination of foreign peoples, and bone-crushing brand of total war -- would only hasten America's decline. Better instead to look to the empire's eastern incarnation: Byzantium, which outlasted its Roman predecessor by eight centuries. It is the lessons of Byzantine grand strategy that America must rediscover today.

USDA Grants $204 Million Loan for 100 Turbine Wind Farm in South Dakota
Posted By Jessica Dailey On February 10, 2011 @ 9:20 am In Environment,Renewable Energy,Wind Power | 3 Comments
The U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced yesterday that Basin Electric Power Cooperative [1] will receive a $204 million loan to build a wind farm in South Dakota. The system will have more than 100 wind [2] turbines and will generate 151.5 megawatts of electricity for 2.8 million customers in nine states. Using the President's words, Vilsack said the investment will help us "win the future."
The loan from the USDA [1] Rural Development program covers 60 percent of the total $340 million cost of the wind [2] farm. It provides the financing for the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning of the project. The other 40 percent of the cost is a mix of public and private investments. PrairieWinds [3], a subsidiary of Basin Electric, will construct the wind turbines, which will be operated by The Wind Partners, and Basin Electric will then purchase the power through PrairieWinds. More than 135 distribution systems will receive the renewable energy.
Basin Electric developed its first wind [2] project in 2001 in South Dakota and has gone on to build several more across both the Dakotas. In 2009, PrairieWinds built a 120 megawatt wind farm in North Dakota, its largest until now. When the South Dakota wind farm is complete, the company will have more than 700 megawatts of wind power generation.
By harnessing the wind [2] to provide electricity, Basin Electric is reducing its need for fossil fuels, thus helping to mitigate global warming.

On Grand Strand Golf: Tilghman and Rymer returning for junior benefit tied to new Cudone scholarship
By Alan Blondin
Golf Channel personalities and South Carolina natives Kelly Tilghman and Charlie Rymer are returning to the Grand Strand this summer to support the areas First Tee junior golf program and provide it with some national exposure on the network.
North Myrtle Beachs Tilghman and Fort Mills Rymer are participating for the third consecutive year in The First Tee of the Grand Strands 2015 Todd Weldon Memorial Future Generations Tournament at Caledonia Golf & Fish Club on July 28 and intend to film live segments that day on the Golf Channels Morning Drive show.
One First Tee junior from Horry, Georgetown or Brunswick (N.C.) counties will be joining each group in the event for the first time, and the tournament marks the introduction of the Carolyn Cudone Memorial Scholarship Fund that will be administered by The First Tee.
Im very excited about the growth weve had in just a few years, Tilghman said. There are still details to be worked out, but we have small additions this year and thats the goal, to grow it a little bit each and every year and move it in the right direction.
Tilghman said the hits on Morning Drive will incorporate outstanding First Tee members and recognize the people who have made the local First Tee and tournament happen.
Part of the process of growing a tournament is spreading the word about what youre doing, and the Morning Drive hits have been an excellent vehicle for that, Tilghman said. Morning Drive has really helped with the messaging.
The First Tee of the Grand Strand provides golf instruction and character building, stressing nine core values to the youth in Horry and Georgetown counties, and is operated through a foundation that also oversees the highly successful First Tee of Brunswick County.
The tournament costs $1,000 per three-person teams, which are nearly sold out, and additional sponsorships are available. The entry fee for the 18-hole scramble event includes a golf shirt, hat, Cudone memorial coin, continental breakfast, box lunch and post-round awards party with dinner and cocktails. Interested players or sponsors can contact First Tee of the Grand Strand executive director Rich Abraham at 843-325-6787 or email@example.com.
Tilghman proposed having First Tee members with each group.
We thought it would help the people supporting the event see and understand the young people they are supporting, Tilghman said. They can see how much theyre benefiting from the program and how much help they need from the community.
Cudone is this years tournament honoree in addition to being the namesake of the scholarship fund.
Cudone, who moved to the Strand in 1966 and died in 2009, is one of the greatest female champions in the history of the United States Golf Association and is the founder of the Myrtle Beach Junior Golf Program.
Her streak of five consecutive U.S. Womens Senior Amateur Championships from 1968-72 is the longest stretch of consecutive wins in any USGA championship. She also claimed seven South Carolina Womens Amateurs among her many other titles.
Cudone started the junior program in 1981 and ran it as a volunteer for 21 years with the help of her sister, Billie Mosher of Calabash, N.C., until she handed over the reins at the age of 83. It later merged with a program run by the South Carolina Junior Golf Association.
Cudones program included instruction, competitions, etiquette and the collection and free distribution of clubs.
What Carolyn did matches our vision, Abraham said. She was The First Tee before The First Tee.
Prior to her program, Cudone called a meeting with many of the golf professionals in the area, and according to Gene Weldon, the head pro at Gator Hole at the time, she set them back in their seats when she decried the areas junior golf efforts. Weldon recalled Cudone saying, You all call yourselves the seaside golf capital of the world and youve got no kids playing golf.
Everybody in that room jumped on the bandwagon and she got it done with our help, Weldon said. She didnt take no for an answer, and we did what she told us to do.
Weldon said a key to the program, which cost no more than $100 annually during Cudones tenure, was that Cudone paid assistant pros at clubs a small stipend to do the teaching, ensuring the kids were receiving quality instruction. I believe thats what made the program so successful, Weldon said.
Cudones program helped numerous area juniors attain national rankings and college golf scholarships.
A portion of The First Tees fundraising moving forward will be dedicated to the fund and donations directly to the fund are also being accepted.
Abraham said the organization would like to award scholarships of at least $5,000 per year beginning in the near future to high school students attending higher education. Students with First Tee experience will receive strong consideration, though Abraham said all area students who exhibit The First Tees nine core values and are involved in golf will be considered.
Though Tilghman traveled as a youth on the American Junior Golf Association and other circuits en route to earning a scholarship to Duke and wasnt part of Cudones program, Cudone took an active role in her development.
Carolyn was a huge mentor in my life, Tilghman said. She took a particular interest in me. I looked up to her because she was confident, she was sweet and honest and sincere and a decorated golfer. She always went out of her way to look at my swing, talk to me about my approach to the game and ask what my next step was. She had a lot to do with my confidence as a junior golfer.

BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- What a week. From the Greek vote on Sunday to yesterday's QE3 announcement (or the lack thereof), investors have been on pins and needles waiting for the next round of market-shaking news to come out before they make up their minds on what to do with stocks.Of course, not all of this week's decisions were curve balls. As I expected, QE3 isn't coming after all. Instead, the Fed and Bernanke decided to kick the can a little further down the road by extending Operation Twist. With strategists from Goldman Sachs (GS) to SocGen (SCGLY) -- and their clients -- predicting a $600 billion round of quantitative easing, extending OT was pretty much the only move Bernanke could make in this scenario; not announcing anything at all would have torpedoed stock prices.

To explain the spectrum of radiation from bodies, Max Planck in 1900 introduced the concept that light occurs in discrete bundles of energy, or "quanta." In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed that these quanta were actual particles, now called photons. He explained the photoelectric effect in which light produces an electric current. In 1913, Niels Bohr used quantum theory to derive the energy levels of the hydrogen atom, arguing that the electron circles the nucleus in only certain, discrete orbits.
In 1923, Louis de Broglie proposed that electrons had wave-like properties, which was soon confirmed in experiments. This lead to the "wave-particle" duality in which objects are somehow regarded as being both waves and particles simultaneously. This lead further, in 1925, to the development of more formal mathematical theories of quantum mechanics, first one by Werner Heisenberg and then another by Erwin Schrödinger. Schrödinger introduced the idea of the wave function and the famous equation that bears his name.
Heisenberg proposed the equally famous Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which says that certain properties such as momentum and position cannot be measured simultaneously with unlimited precision. This implied the breakdown at small distances of the classical, Newtonian picture in which the motion of a body is completely determined by its initial conditions and the forces acting on it.
Quantum mechanics introduced a randomness into the universe that is still being argued over. It also forced us to rethink some of our common conceptions of the nature of reality. However, two notions are frequently misunderstood and misused.
First, quantum mechanics did not show that Newtonian mechanics was "wrong." Most physical phenomena, including most of what goes on inside living bodies, can be understood with Newtonian mechanics. Quantum mechanics only comes in at very small distances, such as inside atoms, or in very special macroscopic circumstances, such as superconductivity.
Second, those quantum phenomena that seem to violate normal common sense can still be understood in purely material, physical terms, and with a slightly more developed common sense. Although mystical elements have been proposed, nothing we know about the quantum requires us to introduce such elements. And the bottom line remains: quantum mechanics agrees with all observations.

in response to ateliercunhaWith the correct codecs, QuickTime for OS X 9.2.2 should be able to play .avi files
or at least recognize them; if they are recognized and yet do not play, there is or
there was a software download to correct or change them so they'd play properly.
An .avi file may not be what is called a Real .avi file; so changing some of them
had been necessary in some cases, and of those .avi - like files, some do not
need to be changed to play in the last versions of QuickTime for OS 9.2.2.
There were downloadable extensions from places such as Doctor Divx 2
and 3ivx, to help the system handle .avi file types. I do not know if these
are still available or if there are other alternatives now. Also some had
suggested the use of some software but when I look, it no longer exists.
So perhaps someone out there who is using OS 9.2.2 or Before has
access to a workable answer, maybe some hold-out still produced?
I've done a few basic searches for .avi converter, etc; didn't see much.
Good luck & happy computing!

in response to ateliercunhaHi, ateliercunha -
Apple released some Indeo Video codecs for use with QuickTime 3 Pro, for the purpose of enhancing its ability to handle AVI files (and perhaps others) directly. I do not know if these codecs provide any functional enhancements with later versions of QuickTime; I do know that I had them installed when using QT 6 with OS 9.1, with no ill effects. If you wish to try them, you can download them from this page -

Limnos Jun 8, 2009 10:28 AM
in response to ateliercunhaLots of good advice so far. A few problems you may encounter come to mind.
One is that your computer may not have what it takes in terms of processing power to play compressed video. I remember my G3 freezing up all the time when I tried to play compressed video. I added more RAM, more video RAM, a new video card, no-go. I had to get a G4 to play video.
Second, AVI frequently has mp3 as the audio component and some form of mp4 as video. OSX players can handle this combination, and of course OS9 can handle mp3 as stand-alone audio, but I remember that even when my G3 started to play an AVI it would only play video. This mp4 + mp3 mix was something OS9 just didn't like.

MLK's words should still guide nationPublished 8:59am Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Yesterday was a day set aside to honor the work and legacy of a man who chose not to see America as it was, but as it could be.
And, although we have yet to realize Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream, we have made some progress and still have the ability to make it become a reality.
Once again, this year Ohio University Southern will host a variety of events intended to educate students and the entire community, to hopefully broaden their sense of culture and history.
Dr. King's legacy is far more than just a day off from work. The man fought tirelessly for civil rights and equality. Our nation owes him a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid.
The holiday has passed but the need to celebrate King's teachings and his legacy have not.
Our nation has much to learn, in regards to race and far beyond. King's words can offer guidance on many of the other challenges facing our nation.
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy," King said.
That is a lesson that our leaders at every level should really take to heart.

Shelton Benjamin not pushed
During a joint interview, Jim Ross and Shawn Michaels took the time to heap a good amount of praise towards Shelton Benjamin. In addition to saying that he was the best victim of the Sweet Chin Music ever, Michaels stated that it frustrated him that WWE never gave Benjamin the push that he deserved.

HHH buries Lashley
When Bobby Lashley left WWE, a lot of fans were left wondering why he was never given the chance to be the top star. Some even suggested that racism was a factor. However, the latest reports are suggesting that it could have been the typical backstage politics that kept him from being given bigger pushes. It is being said that Triple H and Shawn Michaels were burying Lashley in front of management as early as his tryouts.

A 3 month old child does not need solid food. The earliest any reputable source says to start any kind of solids is 4 months, and the newer recommendations are saying it's better to wait till 6 months.posted 04/20/2010 by Meranath
Every child is different and it is important to talk to your own doctor that knows your babys history. My son started eating baby food at 3 months because he was showing signs that he was ready. He was crying when he would see me eat and drooling at the smell of food. My doctor told me that this was how he was showing me he was ready. He gets a little baby food every day along with bm. It helped me because I was supplementing with formula because I was not producing enough bm. Now I am able to give him bm and no formula instead he gets a little baby food.posted 04/25/2010 by Momofmack1
I've been doing a lot of reading and researching on almost every topic as this is my first baby and I'm super excited. The best thing to do would be to talk to your pediatrician as every baby is different. But from what I've researched there is no need to give a 3 month old baby anything but formula/breastmilk. Babies aren't generally ready for any type of baby food or solid food until 6 months.posted 04/27/2010 by !st time_mom
my lil girl is 3 months and has half or a whole jar of food a day with formula morn and evening with juice during day. doctors told me as she was staring and getting excited and drooling while i ate and reaching out to me that she was ready she started on a tablespoon of food and now she is on more. she is teething and have been told she is very advanced for her age.posted 05/17/2015 by bunnygirl90
which kind of food given to 3 months baby?posted 09/24/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Actually the new recomendations are saying 4 months is absolutley fine. My bub is almost 3 months & she is Super keen on food. Ive made all my own pureed organic food & she loves the taste. Clearly im not feeding her spoon fulls but she is showing an interest. I also let her suck on a bit of fresh fruit. She LOVES it!posted 02/23/2013 by WilliamsAlissa
My doctor recommended baby rice cereal at 3 months. Doing this at meal times. Breakfast, lunch and supper. Along with the normal bottle feedings. Baby foods are not recommended until atleast 4 months because your baby needs more time so he doesn't become allergic to those things.posted 12/20/2012 by mom and dad kuker

3 months is too early. Most of the time 4 months is too early as well. Wait until at least 6 months, or longer if you can. Some signs of readiness for solids are: sitting up well on his own, good head control, and loss of tongue reflex. What feeding tube are you referring to? A SNS (supplemental nursing system)? If he has special needs then even 6 months might be too early for food.posted 04/21/2010 by momsangel03
A 3 month old most certainly does not need anything other than milk. I am assuming your baby has health problems since you are feeding with a tube, so most certainly do not try anything new without consulting with a dr.posted 04/25/2010 by Girl in the Swing
