What a day...Went to the Gyn for ovarian pain I had been having and found out I have PCOS. I guess I should have had this check up *before* the VR :( Can anyone else relate to this condition? If so what are your symptoms, etc? I guess it makes since because I have like 3 stupid black chin hairs that won't go away, acne, and heavy periods. But I am showing that I am ovulating every month based off of BBT so I am confused. I have my charts if anyone wants to take a look. The doctor said I have a "pearl like" necklace pattern of cysts on my ovaries. When I saw the pictures, I counted about 8 cysts on each ovary. Mmhhhh....This kind of puts a damper on things I think, since I really don't want to take clomid or metformin, but I wonder if it is necessary because based off of my last 4 charts I have ovulated each time, (unless the progesterone cream I started using is giving false high temps after "suspected O". Any insight to this condition would be greatly appreciated!
I found out I have PCOS :-(

My SIL has this. In the 17yrs they have been using no b/c and actively ttc she has only been pg 3 times. She wont take any meds or do any diet changes or anything. I've read that following a diabetic diet can help but she wont listen.
I have another friend who finally listened to me after a year of ttc. I suggested she had pcos based on what she had told me. The first month she was on metformin she conceived and is due in a few wks.
I agree that it may only be a suspected O, and not true ovulation. Did the dr suggest meds?
The doctor said that based off of the ultrasounds I have cystic ovaries but that the blood work that I need to have done will further confirm it. She gave me the name of a natural supplement that is supposed to help those conceive that have pcos. I had an ultrasound done about 5 years ago with totally healthy ovaries, so this has kind of taken me back a little but really it goes along with the nasty cycle symptoms I have been having.
Luvmybabesx7 - Did your SIL go on to have healthy pregnancies those 3 times she did get pregnant?

I have it, and all of the symptoms that go along with it. I also have two children conceived without drugs.
I am a Nutritional Therapist and Personal Trainer and I can tell you with certainty that the BEST lifestyle is one high in good fats (olive oil, coconut oil, etc...) high in protein, and remove all wheat, gluten, grains, and in some cases dairy.
No sugar either.
Sounds like a lot but try www.MarksDailyApple.com and do some reading, a Primal or loose Paleo diet is what really goes a LONG way for those with PCOS.
Exercise is crucial as well - nothing major, NO chronic cardio - a daily half hour walk is good, and also weight lifting is excellent.
If you have any other questions please feel free to PM. I do a lot of meal plans for clients with PCOS.

Neurocrine Announces Start Of Phase IIb Study Of VMAT2 Inhibitor NBI-98854 For Treatment Of Tardive Dyskinesia
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: NBIX) announced today that it has initiated a Phase IIb clinical trial (Kinect Study) of its proprietary Vesicular Mono-Amine Transporter 2 compound, NBI-98854. The design of this twelve-week Phase IIb study is a randomized, parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled, trial of 120 subjects with moderate to severe tardive dyskinesia and underlying schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Topline data is expected in the second quarter of 2013. "We are pleased that NBI-98854 is taking the next step in development with this Phase IIb clinical trial," said Christopher F. O'Brien, Chief Medical Officer of Neurocrine Biosciences. "The Kinect Study incorporates key refinements to improve the appropriateness of tardive dyskinesia subjects, reduce the variability in AIMS assessments, and expand our dose response database. This study will provide us with the data necessary to develop the Phase III program for NBI-98854."Kinect Study Design The Kinect Study is a randomized, parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase IIb clinical trial utilizing the capsule formulation of NBI-98854 in moderate to severe tardive dyskinesia patients with underlying schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. This 120 subject study will assess two doses of once-daily NBI-98854 over a six-week placebo-controlled dosing period. Half of the randomized subjects will receive placebo and half will receive one of two doses of NBI-98854. The two NBI-98854 dosing groups will consist of a 50mg group for six weeks and a group that will begin at 100mg for the initial two weeks then convert to a 50mg for the final four weeks of placebo-controlled dosing period. Subsequent to the placebo-controlled dosing, all subjects will enter a six-week open label safety extension of 50 mg of NBI-98854 administered once daily with additional AIMS assessments. The primary endpoint of the study is a comparison of placebo vs. active scores utilizing the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) at the end of week six.

Akimbo: Damm, Walters, Weisnewski
Tomorrow night, local metal heroes Akimbo will take the stage at the Comet, and (reunions pending) play their last show ever. For one more day, they are Seattle's best active metal band--in my mind, a title they've held for most of their run. They've performed under the name Akimbo for fourteen years; put out six full-lengths, a 7", and a split 10"; and cycled through nine guitar players (that is, including touring fill-ins, but still). It's fitting then, that they are breaking up because their guitar player, Aaron Walters, is leaving the band for personal reasons, and the remaining members (bassist/vocalist Jon Weisnewski, drummer Nat Damm) see no reason to make it a dozen. Their sound on record is that of a thunderous bass-driven monster, with aggressive, yet intelligent guitar riffs and breakdowns, and drums that could restart an arrested heart. Live, they are ferocious, and could play louder--and drink harder--than pretty much any band out there.
Akimbo: Damm, Walters, Weisnewski
One more show, and now we've learned: one more album. Alternative Tentacles will release the album they've just recorded this fall. It's an album--as a band that's already written its own obituary--that won't be traditionally promoted or our toured behind, but one that the band says they need to put out, for peace of mind more than anything.
"We decided to break up," says Weisnewski, "and the very next conversation we had was: 'Well, we have all these songs; it would really mean a lot to me if we could record them.'"
Photo by Charlie Schuck Aaron Walters, Nat Damm, Jon Weisnewski
The three members of the band are relaxing, beers in hand, in their small Capitol Hill jam space. Weisnewski and Dam look like metal versions of Andy Sandberg and Blake from Workaholics respectively. The tallest of the three, guitarist Aaron Walters, the professor-who-likes-to-party, sits on an amp near the door, faux-discrediting the others' facts as they talk about their early work before he joined the band, and painting elaborate pictures of their work that he had a hand in. "This whole egotistical thing that I do is shtick, by the way," he laughs. They are all hilarious, and in good spirits.
"I'm glad we're doing the record now," says Walters. "I had spent two years--maybe three years getting more and more bummed-out on heavy music and the local scene, and being in a band, and sort of all this pain-in-the-ass that's involved with it. I hated going to shows, shit like that. It was a really tough decision to want to stop playing in the band."
"God damn right," inserts Damm, chuckling.
"Absolutely no hard feelings," continues Walters. "Nobody was bummed, really. It seemed like the thing to do.
"We were just moving ahead like we always do, just writing songs," explains Weisnewski. "It was at a much slower pace than before, but we had most of a record ready to go. Then we decided to stop playing, and we have all these songs... Most of them, I really, really like, and it'd be really sad for me to not have a recording of those. I place a lot of personal value on recordings," He continues, "I feel like they're this neat little time-stamp of something that I poured a lot of artistic energy into over the course of a year or two. The thought of not being in the band anymore, and not having a recording of those songs--there's a handful of them that are very, very dear to me--if we didn't have them recorded and documented it would be a big bummer to me."
For Damm and Weisnewski, the let-down will be cushioned by their other band, Sandrider, who's sound has drawn many fans from the same school. For Walters, teaching music and filling in as drummer for indie electronic/hip hop producer Stres will fill his time. It's a conflict-free split, and one that probably won't leave too many fans with a bad taste in their mouth. The rare arc of a band that simply seemed complete. Only time will tell if the unique circumstances surrounding the new album's recording has any effect on it's sound (rushed, or unhinged and brilliant, etc.).
As a tribute to their run, I decided to pick the band's collective brain about every release they ever put out, and throw in a bit of critical analysis of my own for color. It's one of the geekiest band-related things I've done in a long time (I haven't written my favorite UK bands album critiques in the mail for a few years!). Long live Akimbo.
Commence geek-out:
An Army of Evil Robots Programmed for Human Destruction 7" & untitled split 10" w/Teen Cthulhu (Rock and Roleplay records, 1999)
Critical Analysis: None. They are the only Akimbo releases I couldn't get my hands on.
Geek-out info: Jeff McNulty--former Blööd Hag guitarist; current guitarist in Android Hero--recorded the split 10" with Teen Cthulhu. The An Army of Evil Robots Programmed for Human Destruction 7" was recorded a couple of months later in the same studio ("a weird basement in South Seattle; just off Rainier Avenue") by Kaanen Tuppert. Guitarist Kyle Iman accompanied Weisnewski and Damm on both recordings. It was put out by a small local label that was called Rock and Roleplay Records.
The band says: "The tour on the 7" was right after Kyle quit the band, and we had to find the guitar player. That's when we got [guitarist Jared] Burke [Eglington]. We called him two weeks before we were leaving." -Jon
Harshing Your Mellow (CD - Dopamine records / Vinyl - Seventh Rule Recordings, 2001, Alternative Tentacles (re-release), 2007)
Critical Analysis: "Harshing your mellow" could be Akimbo's mission statement. They take every relaxed neutron in your body and give it a jolt like you were hooked up to a car battery. This is their most punk record, evidenced mainly by the short song lengths that don't so much feel truncated as they do crammed-in, with brisk tempos and inaudibly barked vocals. Another punk move: track nine, "F*ck Everett, F*ck Tacoma", was recorded in Tacoma with the rest of the album. The energy here is raw and hardly corralled. It's a righteous outburst of aggression and angst before they transitioned to a more calculated brand of brutality with Elephantine.
Geek-out info: Recorded in Tacoma at Uptown Studios with Wes Weresch in three days (two to track, one to mix). If you have the Alternative Tentacles re-issue, you will notice a few abrupt song endings, and a lack of transitions. This is because the label had only the pre-master recording before the band inserted audio samples from old records and movies in their collections (which would have cost money to license anyway).
The band says: "We went to Wes because of Enemymine['s album] The Ice In Me...once we heard that record, we were like 'We have to do this: we have to go to that guy, and get that sound.' Our record sounds nothing like that." -Jon
"The first record we recorded to tape." -Nat
Elephantine (CD - Dopamine records / Vinyl - Seventh Rule Recordings, 2003)
Critical Analysis: Though their punk/thrash roots are still riding up front much of the time, Elephantine capitalizes on the sledgehammer break-downs and tangential song structures that had begun to emerge from the Damm/Weisnewski power train on HYM. The acoustics are huge, and fantastic. The songwriting is some of their most creative, while maintaining their signature grisly sound.
Geek-out info: Recorded at the old Paradox theater in the U-District in an upstairs studio by Joel Brown. Jon used a Fender bass amp instead of his usual Sunn Coliseum. Guitarist Jared "Burke" Eglington is a guitar collector, and used a large number of different guitars to achieve the layered sound on each song. This was the first time Nat used a traditional drum set; all previous recordings were drummed using a two 22-inch kick drum "cannon", which was glued together with wood glue. At this point, Burke took on a full-time job, and could no longer tour with the band.
The band says: "A lot of people say that's our best record. I have a hard time disagreeing. It's pretty good." -Jon
"Burke got really nerdy on that recording." -Jon
"The recording was finished for like a year and a half or a year before we had the record in our hands. We did so many tours playing those songs, and not having the record to sell. It was actually really frustrating." -Jon
"We were young and dumb, and our label was young and dumb." -Nat
City of the Stars (Seventh Rule Recordings, 2004)
Critical Analysis: A good, loud record, though it lacked some of the wandering progressions, and slowed-down riffage that made their sound so distinct on Elephantine. Lots of guitars.
Geek-out info: COTS was put out by Seventh Rule Records, who were based in Chicago at the time, though they now call Portland home. The band met SRR founder Scott Flaster while they were in Chicago touring with the Blood Brothers. Flaster was working sound at a venue call the Fireside Bowl, and heckled them ferociously. He apologized on their next tour, and offered to put out their next album. It was recorded in the Interbay neighborhood at Chroma Sound by Zack Reinig in five days. The band had picked up second guitarist Dustin Brown, and was a four-piece at the time.
The band says: "It was in like a studio that caught on fire, and was a lost cause for insurance purposes." -Nat
"[The band settled on an album title when] Jon found an old notebook of his about Tycho Brahe." -Nat
Forging Steel and Laying Stone (Alternative Tentacles, 2006)
Critical Analysis: Recording sounds great here, again. The album contains great moments like "Ground Control to Major Bummer", and "Rockness Monster", which is perhaps their most commercially viable single.
Geek-out info: Recorded at Avast 2 studios (now called Ironwood) by Joel Brown, who had done Elephantine for them. This was their first record on the Alternative Tentacles label. During the recording of the album, the decision was made to ask second guitarist Patrick Cunningham to leave the band, as he was actively battling a heroine addiction. The band recruited Aaron Walters to play guitar on a subsequent tour, and later on, to join the band full-time.
The band says: "We went back to Joel Brown because we were so happy with [Elephantine], and we weren't very happy with the way City of the Stars turned out." -Nat
"[Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra] asked us to be on Alternative Tentacles and we were like 'Yeah, sure, sounds awesome'--totally played it cool. Then we left the backstage, and Nat and I hugged each other." -Jon
"In high school, we pretty much just listened to Dead Kennedys." -Nat
"'Forging Steel and Laying Stone'--Nat saw that [phrase] on a billboard in Chicago; a big mural." -Jon
Navigating the Bronze (Alternative Tentacles, 2007)
Critical analysis: A return to the psychedelic unpredictability of Elephantine, the album is easily among their best. "Dungeon Bastard" and "Lungless" are two more radio-worthy singles. Heavy, brooding, unapologetic, and amazing.
Geek-out info: Chris Owens (of the band Lords) recorded the album in Louisville, Kentucky. After recording eight days worth of material, the studio's hard drive crashed, and the band was forced to re-record everything to that point. While touring on the album, the band struck and killed a large female deer in Texas while driving in their touring van. The van was named "Crusher".
The band says: "Nat got super pissed [when the hard drive crashed], and what took him eight days before, he did in two." -Aaron
"Navigating the Bronze is just about touring." -Nat
Jersey Shores (Neurot Recordings, 2008)
Critical analysis: Their concept epic, which chronicled a series of shark attacks along the Jersey coast, this album is an experience. They built tension here with long, drawn-out, roller coaster movements, then annihilate them with intensely fulfilling fits of volume. It was a ballsy move after the success of their more traditionally-written previous albums, and they pulled it off with flying colors.
Geek-out info: The album was recorded in the same session in Louisville that was Navigating the Bronze, though the two vary greatly stylistically, and were released at different times on different labels.
The band says: "We did Navigating the Bronze and Jersey Shores in the same recording session." -Aaron
"['Lungless'] was a riff I basically woke up in my sleep at my parents' house, and sort of like wrote down really quick." -Aaron
"We were drinking like a twelve-pack a day each." -Aaron

I have a homebuilt system that has been giving me headaches on and off for the better part of a year. Whenever I try to shutdown, sleep or reboot (from Windows or BIOS), the system will appear to shutdown, but will not power off (fans and lights stay on). The only way to power it off is to hold down the power button for a few seconds. If I immediately try to turn the system back on, it will fail to POST. However, if I leave the system alone for an hour or so after powering it off, or unplug it or about 10 minutes, it'll start back up and boot to Windows without issue.
I have tried removing every component and powering it back on, save for the CPU, mobo or RAM, and nothing changes. I would replace a faulty component, but I don't know what to replace. The dependency on letting the system sit after power off makes me wonder if the issue is power related (either PSU or mobo). Interestingly, if I boot to linux on a separate hard disk, it will power down fine. This makes me wonder if the issue is related to the SSD Windows is installed on (the boot loader is on the SSD too, though).
I have updated every driver and BIOS multiple times. As of this post, all of the drivers, and the BIOS, available from ASRock are up to date. I also upgraded the SSD firmware successfully, but with some difficulty (due to the issue rebooting). I have looked at the Windows event viewer, and there are no errors or warnings when the command to power down is submitted. Windows seems to shut down correctly.
Given these symptoms, what would the likely culprit for these problems be? Would it most likely be a hardware problem (SSD, Mobo, PSU), or software problem (Windows, BIOS)? All of the remaining avenues for tackling this problem would involve spending money and/or data loss, which I would like to avoid if possible.
Here is the setup:
Asrock Z77E-ITX Mobo
Intel Core i5 3570K
Crucial M4 256 GB SSD (Primary drive) with Windows 7 64 bit
Segate 1TB HDD (Secondary) with Ubuntu 12.04
WD Caviar Green 2TB Drive (not in use)
Corsair 1600 low-profile DDR3 RAM, 2x4GB
EVGA GTX 660 ti
Antec Khuler 620 CPU cooler
FSP SF 450w PSU LG BDR Drive
Update I bought a new power supply and shutting down/sleeping/rebooting from Windows, Linux and BIOS. Unfortunately, after a hopeful 5 minutes, the old problems started resurfacing. The first time I shutdown from BIOS, it failed to POST. After that, when the system would POST, Windows failed to load half the time. This is actually a step backwards from the previous state (Windows never failed to load if the system POSTed).

Augusta McMahon with McGuire Gibson, Robert D. Biggs, David Reese, Pamela Vandiver & K. Aslihan Yener. Nippur V. the Early Dynastic to Akkadian Transition: The Area WF Sounding at Nippur
Roaf, Michael, Antiquity
AUGUSTA MCMAHON with McGUIRE GIBSON, ROBERT D. BIGGS, DAVID REESE, PAMELA VANDIVER & K. ASLIHAN YENER. Nippur V. The Early Dynastic to Akkadian Transition: the Area WF Sounding at Nippur (Excavations at Nippur volume V [McGuire Gibson, series editor], Oriental Institute Publications 129). xxxiv+174 pages, 12 figures, 193 plates, 78 tables. 2006. Chicago (IL): Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago; 978-1-885923-38-7 hardback 55 [pounds sterling]. This publication can be downloaded for free as a pdf file from http://oi.uchicago.edu/research/pubs/catalog/ electronic.html
The moment Sargon, king of Agade, paraded the defeated Lugalzagesi, king of Uruk, in chains at the gate of the Temple of Enlil in Nippur marked the transfer of power from the Sumerian city states of the Early Dynastic (ED) period to the Akkadian 'world empire'. There has been and will continue to be much discussion about how, when, and even if, the effects of this essentially political and military event can be recognised in the archaeological record. The principal author of the publication under review, on the basis of a sondage through 19 distinct building levels excavated in Area WF at Nippur, identifies the transition in Level XVII.
The excavation took place in 1988 and 1989 and encountered levels dating from the Parthian (late first millennium BC) to the EDIIIa period (mid third millennium BC). The area of the sounding at the surface was 10 x 10m, but by the time the excavation had reached a depth of 12m the area had been reduced to 5 x 4.5m. Earlier levels could not be investigated. The investigation presented a challenge to the excavators: the recognition of fragmentary mud-brick walls and of intercutting pits is not simple and the report records numerous uncertainties in the stratigraphy and admits, commendably, that sometimes the original interpretation was wrong and as a result the phasing has been revised. The risk of collapse in such a deep excavation was great and in the preface the director of the project, McGuire Gibson, expresses his relief that no serious accident had occurred (p. xxi).
A further problem was that, starting at about 8m below the surface, the stratified occupation layers were disturbed by numerous burials, so that in Level XIV (securely dated to the Late Akkadian period) the burials, the walls, and the associated floors each occupied about a third of the excavated area. Initially it was thought that these burials belonged to a single complex labelled Burial 14. Subsequent analysis of the pottery led the excavator to assign 5 of the 8 skeletons to different phases, though one exceptional 'two-lobed burial', containing one equid, three sheep and three human skeletons, is published as a single burial (pp. 45-51).
The material presented in this volume formed the major part of McMahon's 1993 Chicago doctoral thesis and two years later a preliminary report on the sondage was published (Gibson & McMahon 1995). These works too refer to the transition from the ED to the Akkadian periods in their titles. In 1997 Donald Matthews pointed out that, according to the then generally accepted dating of the finds, Level XVII dates to the beginning of the EDIIIb period and the transition from the ED to the Akkadian period occurred between levels XV and XIV (Matthews 1997; see response by Gibson & McMahon 1997). In an article published in 2001 I suggested that the 'two-lobed phase' of Burial 14 was in fact at least two separate burials, since Skeleton 3 was found with typical ED pottery and Skeleton 2 with typical Late Akkadian pottery and a Late Akkadian seal, and proposed, in an attempt to resolve additional stratigraphic problems, that the occupation levels dating to the late ED and early Akkadian periods had been removed in the late Akkadian period when level XIV was constructed (Roaf 2001). …

The Power of Independent Thinking
Developing the Developed World
Entrepreneurship, Liberty, and the Future
Recorded: Tuesday, January 27, 2015
In his #1 New York Times bestselling book, Zero to One, Peter Thiel presents his often contrarian ideas about competition, progress, technology, and finding value in unexpected placesto build a future that we have yet to dream, but that may someday become reality. In Developing the Developed World he brings these ideas to life, including his insights on how to create true innovations in the world of atomsnot just digits and bitsand how to foster a peaceful, prosperous and freer future marked by globalization in a world of limited resources.
Peter Thiel is Founder and Managing Member of Clarium Capital Management, LLC; Co-Founder of Paypal, Palantir Technologies, Mithril Capital Management, and Valar Ventures; Managing Partner of Founders Fund; and past President of Thiel Capital International and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Confinity, Inc. He has been a Research Fellow at the Independent Institute, and he is the author of the books:
The Diversity Myth: Multiculturalism and Political Intolerance on Campus (with David O. Sacks)
He co-founded PayPal in 1998, led it as CEO, and in 2002 sold it to eBay and founded Clarium Capital Management, a global macro fund. In 2004 he made the first outside investment in Facebook, where he serves as a director. The same year he co-founded Palantir Technologies, a software company that harnesses computers to empower human analysts in fields like security and global finance. He has provided early funding for LinkedIn, Yelp, RoboteX, Spotify, and dozens of successful technology startups. He is a co-founder and partner at Founders Fund, a venture capital firm that has funded companies like SpaceX and Airbnb. And in 2012 he co-founded Mithril Capital Management, an international technology investment fund.
Mr. Thiel started the Thiel Fellowship, which ignited a national debate by encouraging young people to put learning before schooling, and he leads the Thiel Foundation, which works to advance technological progress and long-term thinking about the future. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford University, where he received an A.B. in philosophy and a J.D. from the Stanford University School of Law. He further co-produced the film, "Thank You for Smoking," he was rated a master by the United States Chess Federation, and he received the Innovation Award from "The Economist" in 2010.

Dr. Lawrence J. McQuillan: Californias Public Pension Crisis
Recorded: Tuesday, June 17, 2014
On June 17, 2014, Sr. Fellow Lawrence McQuillan spoke at an event for supporters of the Independent Institute. Dr. McQuillan spoke about Californias state pension system, a topic he writes about frequently, including in his forthcoming book California Dreamin: Resolving the Public Pension Crisis.
First he defines the types of pension programs for state employees, he outlined how funding for the programs is not sustainable for the promises made to pension recipients. The state admits to an unfunded liability of $140 billion, but McQuillan says that is actually an underestimate. According to most economists, the true amount of the unfunded liability is $430 billion.
How did this happen? McQuillan explains and offers six solutions to keep the pension systems solvent.

Smarter Urban Growth: Markets or Bureaucracy?
Recorded: Wednesday, October 3, 2001
Astronomical housing costs, suffocating traffic congestion, and pollution take a heavy toll on our quality of life. Are these problems the inescapable consequences of modern life or the results of poor government policies? Proponents of "smart growth" seek to correct them by replacing suburban living with high-density, urban living and public transit. Others seeks to extend and expand current public and private systems. But how smart are these and other approaches? Would market-based alternatives be preferable to create sustainable communities? Urban economists Randal O'Toole and Daniel Klein discussed innovative "smarter growth" solutions for affordable housing, transportation, land use, and the quality of life in our communities.

Hartselle advances to semifinalsPublished 7:28pm Tuesday, May 7, 2013
Jackson Smith pitched a three-hit shutout with four strikeouts in Hartselle's 2-0 win over Homewood Tuesday, sending the Tigers to the Class 5A semifinals.
Hartselle will now host Pinson Valley, who defeated Southside-Gadsden 2-1 in the quarterfinals. The first game will be played at 5 p.m. Friday.
Smith said they were ready to get back on the field after the rain-shortened 7-4 loss Friday night and then having to deal with rainouts on Saturday and Monday.
"We were disappointed with how it ended," Smith said. "We were anxious to play the third game today."
Smith got both wins in the series. On Tuesday, he struck out four batters and allowed three hits with no walks.
Hartselle head coach William Booth commended his ace pitcher for his performance against a disciplined Homewood batting order.
"I mean they weren't swinging at any trash," Booth said."They swung at strikes all night long. That meant he had to put it out over the plate. It was very important that he kept his composure. He didn't walk anybody, isn't that right? It was a very, very good performance."
Behind Smith, the defense was good as well, committing no errors and turning a key double play to erase a one-out single by Homewood's Jack Smalley in the fifth inning.
Then, Hartselle wasn't able to get much out of the combination of Homewood pitchers Adam Stewart and Brian Browning, but the Tigers were able to manufacture runs in third and fifth innings.
"We didn't hit the ball well, but we came up with some clutch hits," Booth said.
In the third inning, Deacon Aldridge reached on a fielding error by the pitcher. He went to second on Easton Chenault's single. Brett Blackwood brought him home with an RBI single to left field.
After Chenault and Aaron Lamb were hit by a pitch in the fifth inning, Colton Ord loaded the bases with a bunt single.
Blake Slayton then provided some insurance. He beat the throw at first base on an infield ground ball with the bases loaded. That allowed Chenault to score.
Chenault and Ord led the way for Hartselle, each going 2-for-3 on the night.

For the first time since making headlines all summer for her reckless driving and bizarre behavior, Amanda Bynes is speaking to the media. In an interview with People, Bynes says she's "doing amazing." The actress goes on to say: "I am retired as an actor. I am moving to New York to launch my career. I am going to do a fashion line," added Bynes, who was polite, respectful and upbeat on the phone. "I am not talking about being arrested for DUI because I don't drink, and I don't drink and drive. It is all false." But her words seem to convince few. Just the day before Bynes again acted bizarre at a gym where she wore a a strapless push-up bra instead of a sports bra and was seen putting on makeup in the middle of a spinning class. According to TMZ, Bynes' parents have relocated from Texas to LA to be closer to the troubled starlet. But the good news in all of this? At least she's retiring from acting.

He didn't want to get out of bed that November day in Portugal, let alone surf, Garrett McNamara told the Associated Press. The 44-year-old Hawaiian pro surfer had already been hammered by the area's massive waves, and he was hurting.
Nevertheless, McNamara got in the water and ended up catching the biggest wave ever ridden, according to an announcement today by Guinness World Records. Despite original estimates that the wave peaked at up to 90 feet high, the latest calculations put it at 78 feet. That's about a foot higher than the previously held record, set in 2008.
A Jet Ski towed McNamara into the wave off the coast of Nazaré. Most of the waves pouring in that day were 50 to 60 feet high. When McNamara caught the big one, he flew down its face in rapid flight from the crashing crest. "It kind of crumbled and landed on me — just landed right on my shoulder," McNamara told Outside magazine. "It felt like a ton of bricks."

Mercury Computer Systems Inc. Stock Downgraded (MRCY)
TheStreet) -- Mercury Computer Systems (Nasdaq: MRCY) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, expanding profit margins and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
- MRCY's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.00 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 5.76, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The gross profit margin for MERCURY COMPUTER SYSTEMS INC is rather high; currently it is at 59.50%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 6.90% is above that of the industry average.
- MRCY, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 16.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 3.8%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Electronic Equipment, Instruments & Components industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 77.2% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $18.65 million to $4.25 million.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. When compared to other companies in the Electronic Equipment, Instruments & Components industry and the overall market, MERCURY COMPUTER SYSTEMS INC's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

The Lady Cardinals picked up a pair of big District 13-AAA wins last Thursday at home in a doubleheader against Hardin County.
In the first game, Brighton (9-7-1 overall, 2-1 district) scored five runs in the top of the eighth inning to win 9-4.
Seeley Layne went all eight innings, striking out four and allowing eight hits.
She was also 3 for 4 at the plate with four RBIs and hit a two-run homer in the first inning.
Alex Griffin and Raygan Huffman each had two hits for Brighton and Marissa Moss drove in two.
Brighton pulled out a 5-4 win in game two. Becky Judy went seven innings for the win. She struck out two and allowed six hits hits and no walks.
Layne had an RBI double and Lauren Kinney drove in one run.
In other games:
• Brighton defeated Horn Lake 2-1 on Friday in the Hunter Morris Tournament in Southaven, Miss.
The Lady Cardinals had just three singles – one each from Moss, Kinney and Maddy Cox – in the victory. Layne struck out five over five innings to earn the win.
• South Panola beat Brighton 3-0 Friday in game two of the tournament.

I'm hoping to upgrade my sora/tiagra mix components to Sram Apex. I found a gruppo used, and I was wondering if I could use the apex front and rear derailleur on a 3x9 setup. Once again, I'm hoping to upgrade my shifters and derailleurs, but nothing else.
Edit: I'm very short on money so I can't afford to get a new cassette. Realistically, I all really need to replace are my shifters (I hate sora) and my front derailleur. If any more details are needed, ask.

By burning waters, and smoldering bridges,
I await the genesis of our animosity.
Make the move that gives me permission to strike,
make the move that will bring about your end.
Near draws the line that which I advise you to never cross.
Though to my eyes comes the image of your sprinting legs.
It would seem, that through your veins flows pure pestilence,
and that you wish to bring upon me, nuisances by any cost.
Good God, such a fool bound for my throat,
knowing not the patient blade that waits.
Honor averts it's eyes, as your charge draws to an end.
It wishes this good and done, just as I.
A swift jerk of my arm to your direction,
and make you, a last descent to the ground below.
Then burden leaves my shoulders,
as life outward, pours from your filthy heart.

STAR savings
Please note that the STAR program has changed. Learn more.
Your school property tax bill must clearly state your STAR exemption amount and your tax savings. If your taxes are held in an escrow account, you should receive a receipt that includes your STAR information.
Most STAR recipients save several hundred dollars due to the Basic or Enhanced STAR exemptions. Several factors impact your savings, including the amount of:
- your property's assessed value that is exempt from property taxes due to STAR
- taxes collected by your school district
- prior year savings (STAR savings cannot increase by more than 2% the following year)
STAR exemption amounts vary based on:
- location (some counties are adjusted upwards to account for higher home values and higher taxes)
- whether the municipality conducted a reassessment
- the level of assessment of the individual municipality
- annual adjustment based on the rate of inflation (Enhanced STAR only)
- STAR suspension due to State tax liability

Consultant in the impact of trees on buildings and people - Sheffield based, operating nationwide.
Jon Coe Tree Services began as a tree surgery contractor, and we're pleased to still offer the full range of tree surgery services listed below. With our high standards of customer service, and a depth of knowledge that helps us stand out from most contractors, we have a high proportion of regular and returning customers.
We limit our contracting work to south-west Sheffield (Totley, Dore, Fulwood, Beauchief, Millhouses, Bents Green, Greystones) and nearby parts of the Peak District. We offer a free quotation service in those areas. Our prices are competitive amongst other high quality operators, but in an industry where quality varies greatly, we don't try to be the cheapest. We do however always strive to be the best.
All our workers have the necessary qualifications and experience, and we are strict in our compliance with current Health and Safety legislation and guidelines. The company is fully insured through Arborisk.co.uk - please feel free to request viewing of our insurance documents.
It may be that your trees are subject to tree preservation orders (TPOs), conservation area status or planning restrictions. We are happy to assist with the handling of applications for work on such trees.
Jon Coe Tree Services is an environmentally sensitive company, paying full attention to our obligations under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010, and The Conservation of Habitats and Species (Amendment) Regulations 2011.
There are many different forms of tree pruning, each appropriate
to different situations. The most common are described
below. We are happy to advise you on what is most suitable for you and your tree. The term crown
is often used when describing tree pruning techniques it refers
to the trees leaf and branch area but not the
To reduce the overall volume and visible size of a tree's crown, while
maintaining the natural balance and shape ensuring that it still
looks like a tree. It may be that you would like to keep your
tree but you need more light in your garden, or you feel uncomfortable with the tree's size given its proximity to your property. Sometimes
a tree with a potentially hazardous decay or cavity may
be spared removal by reducing its crown volume, and thus greatly reducing
its susceptibility to high winds.
To remove the lowest branches of a tree, providing increased
clearance below. Often carried out on roadside trees as there
are statutory height clearance requirements that local councils/highway
authorities can enforce. Can also be an effective and affordable way of increasing the
light below garden trees.
This process leaves the overall size of the tree as it is, but
removes selected branches within the crown. The branches that
are removed are often those that are dead, rubbing, split or defective
in some other way. Combined with increased airflow within the
canopy this is a good way to maintain the health of your tree,
while also increasing the light passing through to the ground
below. Crown thinning reduces the cluttered appearance of an
overly thick canopy.
Trees naturally produce deadwood
as branches die and decay. Indeed in an area of untravelled woodland
this provides excellent wildlife habitat. Unfortunately, the deadwood
branches of certain species have a tendency to fall out of trees, and above heavily used public
areas, roads or gardens this can be a hazard. Having a tree cleaned
of deadwood can reduce the hazard to people and property below.
A traditional method of tree management, the term 'pollarding' is often mis-used to describe poor tree pruning. Where it is appropriate, pollarding involves pruning
the tree quite dramatically, often to only a few metres high,
from which shoots re-grow with surprising vigour. It
can be an effective way to greatly reduce the size of a tree while
also leaving it in an easily maintained condition (when done on a regular basis). While it is not appropriate
for all species, it can increase the health and longevity of other
species indeed, some of our best known ancient trees are old
pollards. We can advise on whether pollarding is an appropriate course of action for your tree.
Often trees are removed because they have simply outgrown
their situation. They may have become alarmingly large for
their proximity to your house, they may be interfering
with your property, or they may simply have grown to block
off so much light that they spoil your enjoyment of your home
and garden.
We are fully competent, skilled and equipped to remove your
tree using whichever method is most appropriate. Our extensive
tree surgery experience and training means we are very happy
to provide our services handling all removals including big difficult trees, and
ensuring the safe completion of what is potentially very dangerous work.
Most likely your tree will require dismantling in manageable
pieces, enabling us to avoid obstacles and minimize disturbance.
Wherever necessary we use the latest rope rigging techniques
to cut and lower each branch safely to the ground. This is complex
and technical work for the tree surgeon, and you can rest assured
that we have been trained in the latest and safest techniques
