Eventually your head will make contact with a hard surface and, when that happens, you'll want to be wearing the utterly reliable, highly durable RED Trace Helmet. A double-injected ABS shell shrugs off hard hits so your brain stays intact, and the inside of this helmet has a smooth liner that's so comfortable you won't blink twice at the proposition of wearing the Trace all day.
- ABS shell offers maximum protection against impacts, big or small
- Top vents keep the top of your head cool by allowing hot air to escape
- Ear pads cover up your ears on cold days, and you can remove the pads if you prefer to rock a beanie underneath instead
- REDphone audio compatibility gives you the option to slide RED modular driver speakers (sold separately) into the ear pad area so you can listen to music without fumbling with third-party ear buds or headphones
- Removable goggle clip holds your goggle strap in place at the back of your helmet

Love it! Keeps my head warm, looks cool, oh and it's safe.
Holding up great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had this helmet for several years now and it is holding up great. It fits nicely and leaves room to wear a beanie underneath. The ear pieces are removable so you can play around with it and see what works for you. My brother and sister also have this helmet and we all love it.
wear a hat underneath for sure
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have this helmet and I went skiing it was really hot out so I took off my hat. but don't it pulls on your hair and kills trust me. but light weight nice fit. you can take out the ear parts out and use it as a normal helmet and can put headsets in the ear pads. it protects your head great!!! I did a front flip and hit my head by I was never inured.
This helmet Rocks. Its lightweight, not too bulky and offers a good amount of protection. Great overall helmet.
nice helmet
this helmet fits well and provides great protection. The other day I went of a kicker and landed backseat and hit my head pretty damn hard, and although it hurt if i had worn my old smith helmet i would have easily gotten a concussion(it was very loose and thin layers of foam for protection. I enjoy the red phone capability, but it is hard to turn on and off for talking to friends when skiing, so i usually use any spare old headphones with a mic to answer calls. i reccomend having a volume and pause button on the headphones. overall the helmet was a great well fit choice. i reccomend using the sizing charts on the site because they are most likely correct with the size.
Good Shellmet
This helmet has a good fit; it is a deeper fit than the Smith helmets I tried. I wear this as a shellmet (over my beanie and goggles) I recommend this helmet for anyone who rocks the shellmet style because, it does not sit too high up on your head. Don't be too cool for a helmet, concussions are no good.
My son has a big head having trouble finding one that fits
ear peices
they fall out/remove too easily. the newer model may address this (bought mine for the 11/12 season). the iphone compatability is awesome for that day where you need to get on a conference call while on the lift/groomers. Note - the audio cord worked with my droid for the headphones only, not the mic. Good no frills helmet over all. the goggle flap is appreciated on cold days.
would this be big enough to hit a beanie...
would this be big enough to hit a beanie underneath?
Sure, as long as the beanie doesn't have one of those balls on the top of it, that just wouldn't be very comfortable!
Also as long as the beanie is not super thick. Most normal beanies will fit but you will want to try it out before hand.

Sicily : Michelin's recommendations
Hasn't everyone dreamt of climbing Etna, the fascinating 3,345-metre-high volcano that looks down over the Ionian Sea to the east? The famous philosopher Empedocles is said to have been the first to attempt the ascent. The "column of the sky", as it was described by Pindar, gave a basalt hue to the walls of the towns spilling over its slopes.
Along its sandy beaches and cliffs, Sicily and its magical archipelagos tell the story of Magna Graecia and its incessant power struggles. The Valley of the Temples and Agrigente evoke the past opulence and splendour of this distinctive part of Italy. Mixed in with the omnipresent Hellenistic and Roman remains are those from the Arab and Norman conquests. Rarely has any land been so highly coveted!
Nowadays the volatile reputation of this largest of the Mediterranean islands seems to have less to do with its unpredictable volcano and history than with the Cosa Nostra, the famous mafia clan that was the inspiration for Francis Coppola's legendary film The Godfather . The gorgeous and decadent city of Palermo, full of Eastern flavour and eclectic beauty, spreads over the fertile Conca d'Oro plain. It is hot in Sicily, and the island's exotic gardens are the ideal place for an afternoon nap. The climate ''inflicts a 104° fever on us for six months'' said Prince Salina in The Leopard, but to our delight it has also poured sunlight on Sicilian grapes, producing fruity wines that are well worth sampling.

Comments about Squier Affinity Jazz Bass Pack:
I bought this bass October 1st 2009 best day of mine life. This bad boy has a pretty good sound and feel. The only thing I have changed on it was the strings and the action so it plays super smooth. This amp combined with my dads old rack make it sound amazing
Comments about Squier Affinity Jazz Bass Pack:
I started playing the bass about 6 months ago, and I wanted to get a cheap bass to start with. I knew getting a cheap bass would basically be getting a low quality bass, but actually it turend out to be pretty good. It has a very nice sound. Obviuosly its not gonna be as good as other more expensive basses,, but squire did a really good job, here and besides u get the amp.

New Body Mounts Install - SquareBody Square UpWritten by on June 1, 2011 New Body Mounts Set the Stage
About five years ago if anything newer than a '72 model C10 appeared within the pages of CLASSIC TRUCKS there was a good chance a few complaint letters might arrive. At the top of the perturbed writer's list was usually a claim that squarebodies were just too new to be considered classic. Who's to say what is, or isn't, a classic?
Still, I do remember when the '73 C10s arrived at GM dealerships customers appeared in droves to see if there were any '72s left. Things only went downhill from there; by 1975 even the trucks sold new in California were showing signs of premature cancer. Anywhere water had a slight chance to collect, painted steel body panels would take on the appearance of a bubbling cheese pizza. As if rust wasn't bad enough the hood on early squarebodies liked to buckle right at the hinges. That said one might wonder why in the world anyone would ever want to own one of these trucks? The simple answer is that the good outweighs the bad.
The '73-87 series of C10s saw the longest production run of any Chevrolet or GMC light-duty truck. Thanks to 15 years of availability it's not hard to track down a decent example anywhere in North America at a good pricereal rusty ones have even been known to go for free. This, in conjunction with a strong support systemstreet rod shops that specialize in classic trucks, aftermarket parts suppliers like LMC Truck in Lenexa, Kansas, and websites with sections dedicated to the range--makes it pretty much smooth sailing.
The '73 Cheyenne Super seen gracing these pages is a good example of one of the ways a person can go about building a '73-87 for relatively low bucks. My friends at Sonoma County Street Rodz in Petaluma, California, started with a '73 3/4-ton C20 custom camper and whittled it down using a shortbed Fleetside box with an F44 chassis. For suspension the Sonoma County crew hauled the bare frame to Sacramento, where Chris Alston's Chassisworks installed a complete setup from its KP Components division. It's not exactly a low-buck alternative, but going the high-quality route means never having to strip the truck down to the bare chassis again. We'll dive into the suspension system complete with a Watt's link at a later date, but right now the focus is setting the cab and radiator core support square on the chassis with new body mounts. Without being squared properly, vertically and horizontally, nothing but body alignment problems will follow. In addition to ensuring the '73 won't have squeaks and rattles emanating from the cab due to worn-out mounts that have settled, installing new body mounts is the first step to re-establishing the body lines. CT
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Building the '73 ground up from a basket case sourced from three different trucks with miscellaneous parts missing is proving to be a challenge. Leo Long, LMC Truck's founder, was a stickler for providing exploded views in LMC Truck catalogs that are a valuable research resource.To install the radiator core support and cab mounts it's best to start from the front of the truck and work back. To install the core mounts the grille was removed to access the boltholes. Once the bolts were removed a block of wood on a floor jack worked great to elevate the core support high enough to remove the old core mounts and insert new ones.Starting from scratch dropping the cab onto the chassis with the front fenders and core support attached required further alignment. Notice how the holes do not line up.Notice the 8-foot 2x4 and the Harbor Freight winch cable are in perfect parallel alignment with each other and square to the truck.With the boltholes pulled into the alignment, and the core support elevated high enough with the floor jack, the core support mounts (rubber donuts) easily fell into place.Next, the lower mount was installed, and the nut tightened only enough to hold the assembly together.
Always observe how things on your truck came apart. Then, verify everything the factory intended is there by referring to the LMC Truck catalog's exploded view.Next, the floor jack was released, and the lower mount was installed. It's important to leave the front cab mount bolts loose until after the rear cab mounts have been installed.Leaving the core support mounts loose and lifting one front cab corner at a time with the floor jack and block makes it easy to withdraw and install the top rubber mount.Removing the rear cab mounts and installing new ones is an identical process to the front, done one corner at a time. This view is with the lower portion removed.

I am absolutely in love with this. Even though I am lucky enough to live in a place where untouched evergreen forests surpass our urban areas, I still need it smelling like the forest in my apartment lol. I tend to go into horading mode when it comes to evergreen products, specifically candles, since usually they are a for a limited time. This products, the smell is strong and by far smells like you right dab smack in the middle of a evergreen forest. I actually also grab mason jars, put holes in top, throw some baking soda and add drops of this. Great all natural air freshener and it lasts for about 2 months. Cheap n easy. Please never stop making this.
Frasier firs in the house!
We just love the scent of Frasier fir in our home at anytime of year, especially this time of year.
Love this fragrance!
I was thrilled when the package arrived. I opened it and quickly set it up - after two days, we only smelled the fragrance slightly. BUT this morning we woke up and the fragrance has permeated our whole lower level!It is doing what we expected - and we LOVE it!

My house smells like the woods
I just purchased another two bottles of the Frasier Fir Reed Diffuser Oil Refill. I live in Texas now, and the smell of a pine forest is rare in my part of the state. The Frasier Fir scent wafting through my house reminds me of childhood hikes with my family through the Wisconsin woods seeking the perfect Christmas tree---the aroma is clean, brisk, spicy.

Legendary producer - engineer Andy Johns, best known for his work with the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, died on April 7th of undisclosed causes, according to Noise 11. Johns, whose older brother is noted Stones engineer and Who and Eagles producer Glyn Johns, made his bones at London's legendary Olympic Studios working early sessions for Rod Stewart, Jethro Tull, and Humble Pie.
Despite a career of quality and groundbreaking work, Johns will always be remembered for engineering such legendary albums as Blind Faith's self-titled debut; Led Zeppelin's second, third, and fourth albums, Houses Of The Holy, Physical Graffiti, and Coda; along with the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street, Goats Head Soup, and It's Only Rock N' Roll, among many others.
Among the classic albums Johns produced were Free's Highway; Television's Marquee Moon; Cinderella's Night Songs; Van Halen's For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge; Joe Satriani's The Extremist; Chickenfoot's self-titled debut, and the Steve Miller Band's two most recent albums, Bingo! and Let Your Hair Down.
Peter Frampton posted on his Facebook page: "Andy Johns engineer/producer and long time friend has left us and way too soon. He worked with Humble Pie on our first 2 albums. Better known for Led Zep and Stones classic albums. And Songs For A Tailor by Jack Bruce. A big fav of mine. So many other amazing sounding records were recorded/produced by Andy. My thoughts are with his family and especially his brother Glyn. We will all miss Andy. RIP"
Queen's Brian May posted a tribute to Johns on his website (BrianMay.com) saying: "Ouch. So sad to hear of the passing of Andy Johns -- great record producer. Lovely guy -- patient, skilled, funny, encouraging, sharp. . . all the qualities you want in someone who is getting your music on to tape. I remember him as one of the Olympic Studios team in Barnes playing around with varying tape speeds and early phasing with George Chiantz. He went on to become one of the very top rock producers in the world. Condolences to all the family. Andy was such a great guy. RIP. Bri"
Slash tweeted: "1 of the great engineer/producers of our time."

AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams has told BackstageAxxess.com in a new interview that guitarists Malcolm and Angus Young are currently writing songs for the legendary Australian band's next album. But Williams said that there's still a long way to go, explaining, "(There is) nothing in the works right now (as far as recording). We're still getting over the last tour, so we're just hanging out and doing stuff. The guys are writing material and when they've got some stuff together, they'll give us a holler."
Asked how the band's creative process works, Williams said, "(Angus and Malcolm) get a bunch of ideas together. Some are more together than others -- and then we'll all hit the studio or a little rehearsal room and we'll kick it around with a producer. And then we get in a studio and record, and that's kind of how it runs.".
AC/DC's last album, Black Ice, was released in 2008 and was followed by a nearly two-year world tour.
Malcolm Young told Classic Rock magazine last year, "I've been doing some jamming on some song ideas but I do that all the time, as do the rest of the band . . . I think we need a couple of years to recuperate and work on it a bit more."

Wimbledon, England (Sports Network) - Former Grand Slam champions Li Na and
Samantha Stosur were among the early winners Thursday in the second round at
After a Wednesday of injuries and upsets, the sixth-seeded Li became just the
second women's top-10 seed to reach the third round with a 6-2, 1-6, 6-0 win
over Romania's Simona Halep.
The bottom half of the draw was turned upside down on Wednesday, as second-
seeded Victoria Azarenka, third-seeded Maria Sharapova and ninth-seeded
Caroline Wozniacki all exited. Petra Kvitova, the 2011 Wimbledon champ, was
the only top-10 seed in the bottom half to survive the carnage and did so
thanks to a walkover win against Yaroslava Shvedova.
Halep could have posed a problem for Li, as she entered the All England Club
after capturing titles each of the past two weeks -- first in Nuremburg and
then in Den Bosch. After dominating the second set by winning 28 of the 40
points played, Halep was no match in the third as the 2011 French Open champ
turned the tables and won 28 of the 42 points.
Li had lost in the second round at Wimbledon each of the last two years after
a quarterfinal appearance in 2011, and was coming off a second-round loss at
this year's French Open after a runner-up finish at the Australian Open.
Stosur, the 2011 U.S. Open champ, had little trouble for the second match in a
row this week. The 14th-seeded Australian cruised past Olga Puchkova, 6-2,
6-2, after a 6-1, 6-3 rout of Anna Schmiedlova in the first round.
The competition will get a little tougher for Stosur in the third round, as
Sabine Lisicki now awaits. The 23rd-seeded German, a Wimbledon semifinalist in
2011 and twice a quarterfinalist in the London suburb, thumped Russian veteran
Elena Vesnina, 6-3, 6-1.
Other winners Thursday included 18th-seeded Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova,
American Madison Keys, Japanese veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm and Croatian Petra
Cibulkova needed just 49 minutes to dispatch Spain's Maria Teresa Torro-Flor,
6-0, 6-1, while Keys upended Germany's Mona Barthel, 6-4, 6-2. Date-Krumm
advanced with a 6-4, 7-5 triumph over Romania's Alexandra Cadantu and Martic
claimed a 7-6 (9-7), 6-1 win over Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic.

OK, from this previous thread ( http://www.zimbra.com/forums/evoluti...us-update.html )it was assumed the latest source for the evolution connector would be included in the source distribution of newly released editions of Zimbra.
There is an ZimbraEvolution folder in the 4.57 source but it is empty.

The Who frontman Roger Daltrey has rebooted plans to develop a biopic about the band's late drummer Keith Moon.
The rocker is collaborating with executives at Exclusive Media and Da Vinci Media Ventures to bring the film, which will center on the drummer's life and hard-partying ways, to theaters.
A statement from Daltrey reads, "The Keith Moon project is one close to my heart, so I am excited to reinvigorate it."
Daltrey stalled the film plans in 2008 because he could not find a scriptwriter.
Moon died from a drug overdose in 1978 at the age of 32 .

In Admin, "AS/AV" section, "Spam checking Settings":
"Kill percent:" and "Tag percent:" are mislead. I thought it's:
Kill 75 percent of all recognized spam emails
But, I believe, actually meaning of this setting is:
Email which its Spam score at 0.75 or above is considered spam and is not delivered.
The same for Tag.
Tag percent at 33%. Mail that is scored at 33% is considered spam and is
delivered to the Junk folder.
So could it be changed to:
Kill Score: 0.75 (Email Spam Score at or above this score is not delivered.)
Tag Score: 0.33 (Email Spam Score at or above this score is delivered to the Junk folder.)
Thank you,

ATLANTA -- It's being hailed as a way to bring Georgia together with the federal government in fighting a common enemy: Alzheimer's disease. State Senator Renee Unterman of Gwinnett announced she'd be sponsoring SB 14 Thursday.
It's a bill that will put together a long term plan for funding, fighting and educating those affected by the disease. A similar plan was already put together by the federal government in May.
Advocates say a state plan is still sorely needed.
"Alzheimer's is a very serious problem not just here in Georgia," Unterman said. "Unfortunately Georgia is one of 16 states in the nation that has not developed a plan like this."
5.4 million people are living with Alzheimer's right now, and the number is expected to triple in the coming decades as more baby boomers age and retire.
According to Alzheimers.org, mortality rates for major causes of death like heart disease, stroke, and HIV/AIDS are down over the last decade. Yet mortality rates for Alzheimer's, the sixth-leading cause of death in the US, have surged 66% over the same period.
"We don't even have progress in the disease, we have no cure, we have no bright light at this point, there are things that are happening but nothing is coming to fruition," said Dr. Alyssa Easton.
Easton is 46 years old, and has been diagnosed with an early-onset form of Alzheimer's. She's been told she has 16 years to live.
"I'm a very positive person, and I'm looking forward to life, I'm not thinking so much about death even though my diagnosis is a terminal disease," Easton said.
Easton has chosen to fight the disease with all she's got. And because she works at the CDC, she already knows a thing or two about fighting diseases. She says the task force created by this bill will bring the recognition necessary to fight Alzheimer's like other awareness campaigns did against cancer and AIDS.
Dr. Allan Levey, head of Neurology at Emory University and the Alzheimer's Research Center there, said this is a momentous day for those fighting the disease.
"The way I look at it we could have the cure sitting on a table somewhere, and we need some public action to have us all wake up," Levey said. "This is really the first step in order to get everybody working together."

Welcome back to the PG Draft Forum! Based on the number of views the threads have received, I know you're out there and welcome you to participate in the conversation.
Obviously the college season started several weeks ago, and I have been able to catch some games on TV and online. Kendall Rogers covers the sport like no one else between his own daily features, tweets and posts on his blog. I plan to continue to use this forum to share my own thoughts from the players I am able to see over the course of the spring.
That will include (weather permitting) taking in the expected Sean Manaea/Tom Windle matchup at the Metrodome next week as Indiana State travels to Minneapolis to take on Minnesota.
I'm going to start with one of my favorite players eligible for the 2014 draft:
Michael Cederoth
: Built tall and strong with a high waist, very projectable and without a doubt you're going to hear comparisons to Stephen Strasburg between now and next June due to SDSU connection. Cederoth doesn't have Strasburg's electric overall repertoire, or command, but he throws hard (reports have him up to 97/98 this spring, sitting in the 93-95 range) and has a potentially dominant breaking ball. What is most impressive is the way he throws, using his size incredibly well to throw on a downward plane. Physically, and his delivery, are very reminiscent of Kevin Gausman, another player I was (am) very high on.
Adam Choplick
: A very big-bodied freshman LHP that has been handling the Sunday role behind Oklahoma's exciting Friday/Saturday combo of Dillon Overton and Jonathan Gray. Choplick's stuff isn't nearly as electric as those two, but for his age, and size, he does a pretty good job commanding his 3-pitch repertoire. The biggest question with Choplick is how much better can he get? He's 6-8/260 or so, but looks to throw in the upper-80s, topping out in the low-90s in the early innings. He can add/subtract off of his curveball, and throws a changeup that he currently lacks feel for but there's enough there to get better. His breaking ball lacks consistent bite at this stage (or at least in this game), but again, there's enough there to build off of and he can throw it for strikes. Physically he resembles Brett Mooneyham, with broad shoulders, and is pretty smooth and repeats well for a big guy.
Dillon Overton
: Oklahoma's Friday starter, has been enjoying very good season outside of Friday's start against Scott Frazier and Pepperdine. If you watched this game is was really boring, as neither team looked particularly enthused to be out on the field. It was cold and damp, which may have played a part in this. Overton did have 7 Ks through 3 IP, giving up all 6 runs in the 4th inning (going 6 innings in the game). He has a pretty big leg kick, which he even uses at times out of the stretch. His delivery is very smooth and repeatable, and he moves the ball around well in the strike zone. He doesn't have big velo (reports on the velocity of all Oklahoma pitchers is exaggerated from what I've heard), but he can still dial it up to the low-90s. He also throws a nice changeup with the perfect/exact arm action as his fastball, serving as the perfect 'slow ball.' He needs to tighten up his breaking ball which currently is a slurvy sweeper, but again, he may show better with this pitch other weeks. It's easy to see why he's gaining steam as a 1st rounder come June.
Scott Frazier
: His start was similar opposite of Overton in that he went 6 innings, but gave up one huge inning in a 7-run third. Frazier is huge, iwth an exaggerated, multi-piece delivery and obvious emotions expressed on the mound. He commands his fastball well, with reports on it being up to 96-97 this spring. Similar to his past profile, he has yet to develop consistent secondary offerings, but it is clear he is working to develop these pitches. Even during the big 3rd inning, he wasn't hit that hard, although quite a few balls were hit in the air. Basically, without much of a breaking ball or off-speed pitch his fastball is exposed that much more no matter how hard it is thrown. He did throw one incredibly nasty curveball to close out the 5th inning, so it's in there, he just needs to find it more often. As it stands right now he could develop into a one-inning reliever with a big fastball in the mold of Kyle Farnsworth.
Like any year, you can watch a lot of Florida baseball from afar. I think I saw 50-70 of Nolan Fontana's at-bats while with the Gators, and that type of exposure allows you to draw some pretty solid conclusions, especially over a 3-year span. With a young squad, I'm sure I'll be saying the same thing in 1-2 years with some of their current players.
Jonathon Crawford
: Without a doubt there are going to be questions about Crawford's delivery, as he appears to throw across his body with some effort on his arm. He is an excellent overall athlete as he quickly passes the eye test, and if a team believes his arm can hold up over time you have all of the pieces for a frontline starter for years to come. His stuff wasn't the best on this day (last Friday vs. Miami), and he has always been better when he keeps his stuff down in the zone. When thrown down in the zone his fastball shows excellent life, and hitters have had a very hard time driving the ball at all. He induces a lot of ground balls with this pitch and his slider, which also is an explosive offering. His curveball is more of a show-me pitch that he's able to drop in for strikes. He does elevate his fastball for more velocity, but again, just isn't as effective when pitching like this.
Jay Carmichael
: A freshman serving a big role in the Gators' bullpen, Carmichael threw the final 3 frames of their game against Miami on Friday, striking out 5 despite giving up the go-ahead run in the 9th. He actually had recorded 2 quick outs in the 9th, throwing almost entirely nasty sliders, before giving up a single, stolen base, and another single. That slider is a really nice pitch. He needs more consistency with it, but has the ability to drop it in for strikes, backdoor it on RH hitters and bury it in the dirt for swinging strikes. His fastball has good velo and command as well. He's a lanky, skinny RHP with plenty of room for added strength. He'll need to work on repeating his delivery better, and if he throws a changeup I didn't see it in this game. He should be starting for the Gators next season, if not later this year.
I'll have more thoughts on the Gators and a couple of their opponents later on.
Tyler Beede
: PG All-American in 2010. Improved command this year as opposed to last. More consistent, higher velo with his fastball with reports of him peaking at 95/96. Shows a very good changeup with the same arm speed/action as his fastball. Still working to develop more consistent breaking ball. I could see him going with more of a traditional slider, as he's currently trying to throw a slurvy curveball. Very exciting RHP prospect for 2014.
Brandon Lopez
: Miami freshman SS. Very slender, athletic build with sloped shoulders. Room to add muscle/strength. Good approach at the plate with promising bat speed. Had 3 hits in this game, the most impressive of which was going with a hanging slider to lace it up the middle in the 6th inning. Easy, fluid actions all-around, including on defense. Keep an eye on him as he's a potential 1st rounder in 2015.
David Thompson
: Miami has quite the pair of promising freshmen, although Thompson also plays QB for the Hurricanes, clouding his future on the diamond. Obvious, powerful build. Very good bat speed, shows ability to make adjustments and take pitches. Struck out swinging on Carmichael fastball in 7th (after he got 2 strikes trying to bunt), but made up for it by hitting sharp RBI single on slider to drive home the go-ahead run. I really look forward to seeing him play again, as he's going to hit some big home runs with his swing/approach/strength.
Sean Dwyer
: Florida Gulf Coast OF. Mature, stocky yet athletic build. Good approach at plate, shows interesting power potential. Went 4-6 in games vs. Florida, including turning on a high FB for a 3-run go ahead HR in the 11th inning.
Michael Suchy
: Another FGCU OF, plays CF now, likely corner OF down road. Big guy with obvious strength, well put together, narrow lower half with room for added strength; Upper body already pretty well developed. One of
NWL top prospects
last summer. Big uppercut swing with obvious power potential. Seems to swing for the fences every time up, needs to rely on hand/wrists/bat. Made a really nice diving catch game.
Harrison Cooney
: FGCU reliever making waves this spring. Very good athlete with easy, repeatable delivery. High-waist build, slow wind, quick arm. Throws strikes with fastball. Telecast said he was up to 96, but take that for what it's worth (first-hand observations do have him in similar range). Threw mostly fastballs early, inducing groundballs and getting weak swings. Leaves ball up at times. Needs to improve off-speed, not surprising since he's a converted C. A handful of curveballs showed promise, but need added velo, break and consistency in command. Changes release on breaking ball. Can also spike what looks like a slider in dirt.
Florida players:
Eric Hanhold
: Saw back-to-back appearances. One of the top prospects for the 2015 draft, but has a lot of work ahead of him. Very raw, but very projectable. Very good size/strength with room for more. In 1st appearance recorded only 1 out and responsible for 3 runs (only 1 earned). Command/consistency issues, but very promising fastball/curveball combo. 2nd outing came out and visibly different (cut his moppy hair, I like to think it was because of his previous appearance). Has a very similar build to Jameson Taillon, similar upside as well. Looks like a potential workhorse. Changeup there but needs work.
John Magliozzi
: PG All-American in 2010. Shorter stature with good, not great stuff. Pounds the strike zone. Sharp breaking ball that he can drop in for strikes or out of the zone for swings and misses. Stays composed/cool on mound. Likely future middle reliever/swing-man, serving in expanded role for Gators this spring that likely will get a ton of appereances.
Zack Powers
: Is what is quickly defined as a "professional hitter." Good approach, swing path. Keeps his hands in and is short to the ball. His power stroke, which everyone knew was there, is starting to materialize more in games. Still somewhat of a tweener in that his actions aren't ideal for 3B and his power potential isn't idea for 1B. Profiles as a LH hitting Shea Hillenbrand.
Richie Martin
: Freshman SS that will hold position down for 3 years just like Nolan Fontana did ahead of him. Very polished baseball player, plays the game the right way and very instinctive. Upside at plate is limited similar to Fontana due to smaller stature and limited strength. Plays SS well with quick hands/feet and accurate arm.
Taylor Gushue
: Very interesting prospect with power from both sides of the plate as a switch hitter. Has good bat speed with very good extension and overall power potential but likely will always be prone to Ks. Has a strong throwing arm but also has some work to do behind the plate defensively. Provides a good target and can handle talented, hard-throwing staff.
Corey Stump
: Low 3/4 LHP with good size/proportions/high waist. Not overpowering, but should be very effective throughout career and at next level against LH hitters at the very worst. Needs to sharpen breaking pitch, but could serve as a specialist as-is.
Ryan Harris
: Broad shoulders, stocky build, one of the top prospects in the NWL last summer. Strong base generates torque from bottom up. Throws curveball for strikes -- not a huge breaker, but effective. Overthrowing with fastball in game I saw, but saw him spot better last summer. Future short reliever given current profile, but I'm a little surprised he's not getting a chance to start for Gators.
Limited looks at:
Josh Tobias
, former PG All-American, I really like his approach to the game but likely will have a hard time finding proper defensive home given upside offensively. Smaller athlete that can put a charge in the ball but may be best at 2B if he can play there.

Kid Cudi Events
|Sorry, Kid Cudi tickets aren't available at this time.
Among the hottest names in hip hop right now is Cleveland Ohio's very own Kid Cudi, as the rapper has drawn tons of fans with his unique style. Ever since he toured with Asher Roth in 2009, there has been a constant demand for Kid Cudi tickets from fans wanting to see him in person. He's a special talent that doesn't come around often, so if you can see him now you could very well have a story forever. Right now teh only up-and-comer getting the hype of Kid Cudi is B.o.B. Like Cudi he has his made the style all his own, and with fans getting BoB tickets all over both of these guys are going to be around for a while. Born Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, Kid Cudi has come a long way since his days in Ohio's Shaker Heights. As you might have noticed if you've already bought Kid Cudi tickets, his music is more personal than most commercial hip hop, and the fact that his father passed away when Cudi was 11 no doubt plays a part in his lyrics.
A longtime musician, Kid Cudi started getting attention in the hip hop world after his first mixtape, A Kid Named Cudi was released with New York's 10.Deep. The first hip hop single of Kid Cudi's to break into the Billboard Hot 100 was Day 'N Night, which broke into the top ten. The hip hop world took notice and he was subsequently signed by Kanye West. Cudi's debut album Man on the Moon: The End of Day was released on September 15, 2009 on Kanye West's GOOD Music label. In addition to West, Kid Cudi has also been in the studio with Lady Gaga and Common. He has also appeared in the video for the Black Eyes Peas [tickets] I Gotta Feeling and has toured with Asher Roth in the Great Hangover Tour. With so many talented musicians eager to work with him, its no wonder why Kid Cudi tickets are selling at such an amazing clip. As if those friends weren't enough, Cudi also appeared on Jay-Z's Already Home single off the Blueprint 3. And Kid Cudi tickets aren't the only way you can see Dat Kid, as he is also featured on HBO's How to Make it in America, which is produced by Mark Wahlberg.

Epilepsy is the fourth leading neurological disorder in the US, after migraine, stroke and Alzheimer's disease. There are more than 60,000 people in Connecticut diagnosed with epilepsy - and thousands more who remain undiagnosed or not effectively treated. Seizures can lead to accidental injury, decreased quality of life and can even be life threatening. Having unpredictable seizures can make it impossible to drive, to work or to participate fully in everyday activities.
Making a correct diagnosis and stopping seizures will improve quality of life and may make it possible to participate fully again. We understand how having epilepsy affects patients and their families. It is the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center's priority to treat the whole patient and restore their quality of life.

Royals sign outfielder Brian Anderson
The Royals announced today that the club has signed outfielder Brian Anderson to a one-year Major League contract for the 2010 season. Consistent with club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The 27-year old Anderson, who bats and throws right handed, split his 2009 season between the White Sox and Red Sox. The centerfielder was traded to the Red Sox on July 28 and proceeded to hit .294 with two home runs in limited duty down the stretch for the A.L. Wild Card winners. The former first-round selection of the White Sox (15th overall) is a career .227 Major League hitter with 22 home runs in 335 games since making his debut for Chicago in 2005.
Anderson, born in Tucson, Ariz., now resides in San Diego, Calif.

MACON, Ga. -- Sheriff's deputies say a middle Georgia man was growing $210,000 worth of marijuana at his grandmother's house.
Bibb County sheriff's investigators at a news conference Friday displayed more than 100 pot plans seized from the home of the 80-year-old woman.
Her grandson, 34-year-old Scott E. Seymour Jr., has been arrested on charges of marijuana trafficking and other drug-related counts.
Bibb County Sheriff David Davis says Seymour is also charged with endangering an elderly person.
Deputies seized from the home sacks of hydroponic fertilizer, a shotgun and a book titled "Indoor Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor Bible."
It wasn't immediately known if Seymour had hired an attorney.

Baltimore County News
by Jay Doyle
Project Manager, Baltimore County Department of Planning
Enjoy Defenders Day at North Point – Baltimore County's signature annual salute to its War of 1812 heritage – this Sunday, Sept. 2nd, at the beautiful waterfront treasure known as Fort Howard Park, 9500 North Point Road. This daylong affair features two reenactments of the Battle of North Point, which took place the day before the bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1814.
Gates open at 10 a.m., with the first reenactment commencing at 1 p.m. and the second at 4 p.m. A strong contingent of living history interpreters will be on hand as will strains of period music. Recently, the Fire Museum of Maryland began exhibiting at the event, this year being no exception. The intrepid firefighters will have a true, 1812-era pumper truck on display, intriguing to children and adults alike.
The Battle of North Point began in pre-dawn hours when British royal marines and infantry disembarked from ships, landing at various points along the southern tip of the North Point peninsula. This year's event plans a new maritime feature to depict this dramatic aspect of the battle. On land, British invaders in "red-coat" attire will face off against Maryland militia units such as Asquith's Rifles and the vaunted "Dandy Fifth" Regiment. Thundering cannon fire will echo through the trees. Odds are British General Robert Ross will take a direct hit and stoically draw his last breath on Baltimore County soil as he did 198 years ago.
We salute Defenders Day Chairman Harry Young and his loyal band of steadfast volunteers with the Dundalk-Patapsco Neck Historical Society who put on a splendid show every year. Bring your appetite. Consider purchasing commemorative items and souvenirs from the historical society, Friends of Todd's Inheritance and other civic organizations eager to promote the War of 1812 bicentennial and their good causes. Representatives from the National Park Service and the Baltimore County War of 1812 Advisory Committee will be in attendance.

TCP's 2008 GreenSite Awards
Precise concrete formwork and a system for recycling formwork materials helped reduce costs and increase efficiency in building the Grand Rapids Art Museum.
The Aldo Leopold Legacy Center is a small complex of buildings surrounding a central courtyard. This design is flexible in managing energy use based on thermal requirements, creates outdoor spaces, and reduces the buildings' scale.
Underground concrete pipe created earth tubes that ventilate the center with conditioned air.
Symphony House used recyclable Eco-Blast steel shot finish. While contaminated sand from sand-blasting must be discarded, builders can reuse steel shot.
C-GRID carbon fiber reinforcement resulted in a smaller carbon footprint by reducing the weight of precast panels, materials, and energy and superstructure requirements.
This project, winner of an Ontario Concrete Award for Sustainable Concrete Construction in 2007, will soon be the first mixed-use building in Canada to be LEED Gold certified.
The Country Club Road concrete home uses ICF construction to create an airtight, energy-efficient design.
The small squares on the kitchen floor were hand-brushed with multiple layers of onyx-colored stain to reach a deep color. Black grout and saw cuts create the look of tile.
Floors throughout the house are acid stained and feature custom designs.
This year, THE CONCRETE PRODUCER, with our sister publication, CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION, introduced the GreenSite Project of the Year con contest honoring the concrete community's efforts to promote concrete's role in creating eco-friendly structures that will stand the test of time.
The name "GreenSite" reflects the innovative processes and materials that create a green building project, many of which are invisible in the final product. For instance, visitors to the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center in Wisconsin breathe air that is pretreated by an underground concrete pipe ventilation system. Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, lightweight CarbonCast walls protect residents of the Symphony House condominiums from the elements, while using less energy and fewer materials than traditional concrete panels.
TCP's 2008 GreenSite winners each represent a different category: Institutional, Commercial, Multifamily, Residential, and High-rise. For more details and photos of each project, click here.

When planning for the new Grand Rapids Art Museum, project officials and donors decided to pursue Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification "with a vengeance," to make it the world's first newly built, LEED-certified art museum. They eventually exceeded this goal with a Gold level certification by incorporating green design elements and sustainable building materials.
Concrete was an important contributor to the project's sustainability and design flexibility. Of the many elements brought to life in this 135,000-square-foot building, the architectural concrete exterior stands out as one of its most beautiful components. At the same time, the museum's 12-inch-thick, cast-in-place concrete walls optimize energy use by keeping the building warm or cold.
Inside, exposed concrete walls feature tie holes aligned in rows and columns, and defined corners and reveals. A sequence of 177 separate architectural concrete pours led to a one-of-a-kind forming system. The forms, which called for sharp corners, needed to be watertight around the tie holes and edges. Each pour had zero tolerance for rework, since patches were not allowed.
Concrete also helped meet LEED material requirements because much of it came from local sources, requiring less energy in transportation. The museum's 20,000 yards of 4000 to 6000 psi concrete contained 3% recycled content and 100% regional materials.
Other items that contribute to the sustainable quality of the museum include extensive use of natural light, gray water collection, management, and recycling, and an innovative mechanical system that uses energy recovery wheels to pre-condition incoming fresh air and lower energy requirements.

May Day Mayday
The death of Osama bin Laden marks the important end of one jihadist era. But how ready is the United States for the next?
Sue Mladenik had just gotten ready for bed and flipped on her television when a news crawl across the bottom of her screen told her Osama bin Laden was dead. "I was numb, shocked, and confused," the mother of six told me. Mladenik's husband Jeff died aboard American Airlines Flight 11 when hijackers trained by bin Laden flew the plane into the north tower of the World Trade Center. Mladenik said she quit watching most television after 9/11, but a weekend that included her 13-year-old Grace's spring musical, and recitals for two younger daughters, left her too exhausted for anything else.
When the terrorists killed Jeff Mladenik, he and his wife had adopted Grace from China and had paperwork underway for another Chinese daughter, Hannah. Jeff was a Wheaton College graduate who headed a web development company and also served as pastor of workplace ministry at Christ Church, a large evangelical congregation in Oak Brook, Ill.
After 9/11 the widowed Mladenik went ahead with the second adoption and then a third, Bethany. With three grown children as well, a daughter and two sons, her life is full, she said, but there's plenty of room to feel the family's loss: "Unexpected news brings it all up again."
Mladenik, now 53, has thought about bin Laden often over the years-"and probably I've wished him dead a million times"-but news of his actual death early this month left her sobbing yet unable to explain her emotions. "Am I happy he is dead? I am happy he will never do again to others what he did to my family," she said, pausing. "Still, there is nobody who will walk my girls down the aisle."
The 24 members of SEAL Team Six who fought their way into the fortified compound holding the founder of al-Qaeda had-to some degree, like most Americans-long planned, even dreamed, of this day. Bin Laden had been a fixture on the FBI's Most Wanted list since 1998 with a reward set at $50 million since 2007, his bearded visage common to almost everyone everywhere.
After the attacks in 2001 President George W. Bush declared, "The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our No. 1 priority and we will not rest until we find him." Seven years later candidate Barack Obama said bluntly, "We will kill bin Laden."
But as wars in Afghanistan and Iraq dragged on and increasingly focused on other players like Saddam Hussein or the Taliban, bin Laden often seemed more myth than man. Rumors ran that he was dead after a December 2001 U.S. assault on Tora Bora, his Afghan mountain hideout. Later rumors said he escaped on a mule, or that he suffered from kidney failure and required-also not true-dialysis. Years passed and public interest waned. Did it matter that bin Laden was in remotest Pakistan or Afghanistan or Iran, that he was dead or alive?
It turned out that he was holed up with family members in a three-story house surrounded by 12-foot concrete walls and barbed wire just 31 miles northeast of Islamabad, Pakistan's capital. "I was surprised he was hiding in plain sight. We always thought he was somewhere up in the Tribal Areas [of Pakistan]," former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told ABCNews.
News that bin Laden had been killed began spreading on Sunday evening, May 1. At a Mets-Phillies game in Philadelphia, chants of "USA, USA" erupted spontaneously from the stands as fans began flashing headlines from their cellphones. Shortly before midnight President Obama announced, "The United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden." For Obama, who phoned former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton before his speech, the success of the 40-minute raid on the compound in Abbottabad, a high-elevation tourist town dominated by one of Pakistan's largest military academies, culminated months of secretive planning for a high-risk operation.
Soon after, over a thousand mostly young people converged at the White House wrapped in flags, beating drums, blowing vuvuzelas, and carrying hastily scribbled signs like "Osama bin Gotten." Some soldiers joined the crowd: Celebrants shook their hands. A few climbed trees around the White House, sang the national anthem, and started cheers that lasted into the morning.
Rep. Steve Pearce, R-N.M., just back from Congress' two-week recess, drove to the White House from Reagan National airport when he heard the news. The next morning, he wrote an essay about the experience: "My father's generation experienced V-E Day with the wild, celebrating mob in New York. But my generation drifted quietly into town from Vietnam. Our nation was embarrassed by the war and its soldiers. Tonight, though, our nation was filled with renewed pride. The celebration was the appropriate response of a grateful nation to so many who have given so much."
In Dallas well-wishers decorated the gate to Bush's neighborhood with flags, bunting and balloons. One sign read, "President Obama forgot to say . . . THANK YOU PRESIDENT BUSH!"
Successfully removing Osama bin Laden, though, does not remove past losses. The 3,000 families of 9/11 victims like the Mladeniks have been joined in mourning by more than 7,000 families of U.S. and coalition forces killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Add to their number thousands of victims of al-Qaeda terror before and after 9/11 in Kenya, Tanzania, Somalia, Yemen, Morocco, Pakistan, and elsewhere. Nor does bin Laden's death remove worries of future attacks-but it does create a pivotal moment to reflect on U.S. counterterrorism strategy.
Sebastian Gorka likes to cite the number of CIA intelligence officers on Sept. 11, 2001, who spoke Pashto, one of two dominant languages of Afghanistan: "Two, and one of them was on contract."
Gorka was born in Great Britain to parents who escaped the Hungarian Revolution of 1956-a street uprising leading to a Soviet invasion that killed more than 3,000. A fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington, Gorka has lectured at West Point, the National Counterterrorism Center, and the School of Advanced Military Studies. Currently his expertise on al-Qaeda has meant no let-up in conducting seminars for Pentagon, CIA, and other officials (now with dozens fluent in Pashto).
Recently he took five intelligence analysts through a course on al-Qaeda in Yemen and told me, "It was unbelievable. The idea that 10 years into this war we are starting from zero, and an eight-hour seminar will make you understand an enemy." The scholar, an imposing presenter, believes that for too long U.S. national security operatives have focused on the "kinetic" or violent aspects of jihad-ignoring its theological and sociological roots: "We still refuse to understand the fact that this is a religiously motivated enemy."
In large part, Gorka blames that on Americans' revision of history and what's meant by separation of church and state. "The Founding Fathers intended it to mean that no one religion could enjoy preference from the state, and no one religion could be disadvantaged by the state. No preference and no persecution. But it has been willfully distorted into meaning that religion can have nothing to do with government or national security." That feeds mistakes about the Muslim world and its threats ("and leads to ridiculous things like officers having to switch off surveillance when a suspect goes into a mosque").
So U.S. officials too often sanitize what Gorka calls the "martial" nature of the Quran and Muhammad's life. The Muslim prophet was both a religious leader and a successful warrior who conquered and converted the entire Arabian Peninsula in 22 years. Without grasping both those aspects, Washington misses the seriousness with which bin Laden and his followers have declared war on the "Jews and Crusaders" of America.
Gorka points out that al-Qaeda "has trained and written seriously about how to make fighters deadly. They take seriously building the capacity to do large amounts of damage to Americans."
Osama bin Laden was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 1957. His father Muhammad had more than 50 children, but Osama was the only son of Muhammad's 10th wife. The 1970s oil boom lifted the bin Laden family fortune, made Muhammad the building contractor to the king, and allowed him to erect one of the largest companies in the Middle East. He sent his children to the best schools in Saudi Arabia, where Osama earned an advanced degree in engineering, traveled frequently to Beirut for the nightlife, and became a drinker and womanizer often caught in bar fights.
The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 was his turning point. Bin Laden said the plight of Muslims "in a medieval society besieged by a 20th-century superpower" inspired him that there is "a special place in the hereafter" for Muslims who participate in violent jihad. He organized and fought alongside the Afghan mujahideen and throughout his life carried a Kalashnikov he claimed to have snared from a dead Russian general.
Gorka says bin Laden "was immensely charismatic, and earned sympathy because of his life story. Despite being born into a family of great wealth, he takes up the simple life of a holy warrior, and fights the Soviet Union. He led by example."
Bin Laden set up camps to train fighters from all over the Arab world where tens of thousands of foreign volunteers eventually arrived to receive military training but also indoctrination forbidden as subversive elsewhere in the Arab world. According to Yossef Bodansky, former director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and bin Laden's first biographer, bin Laden developed "branches and recruitment centers in 50 countries," including the United States and Europe by the end of the 1980s-a network that by 2001 allowed him to execute massive jihad against the United States.
Ironically, during the 1980s the United States pushed Arab countries to assist the Afghan fighters in the battle against Soviet domination, so Egypt sent former army officers, some of them Islamists, to train and aid the mujahideen. One of the Egyptians, Ayman al-Zawahiri , worked with bin Laden to meld Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood followers and Saudi Wahhabi terrorists. Soon, both Sunnis and Shiites from all over the Muslim world were training together as al-Qaeda terrorists.
In 1996 al-Qaeda issued its first fatwa against the United States: "There is no more important duty than pushing the American enemy out of the holy land"-a reference to Saudi Arabia and Israel. (Jerusalem has been a holy city for Islam since its earliest days, but only recently have some Muslims referred to the entire land of Israel as holy.) The United States largely ignored the threat and another in 1998. Then came simultaneous attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed more than 220.
Zawahiri throughout remained in bin Laden's shadow. A surgeon by training who speaks English and French in addition to Arabic, he came from a prominent family in Egypt. His father was ambassador to Pakistan and Yemen. Gorka maintains that Zawahiri isn't charismatic like bin Laden yet through a forceful intellect "has become the center of gravity for al-Qaeda." Most experts believe he will assume the mantle of leadership for al-Qaeda and of a different, ideological sort.
"Al-Qaeda has become less relevant operationally in the last 10 years," said Gorka. "But the brand of al-Qaeda has increased. There are more people, including Americans like Maj. Nidal Hassan [who went on a shooting spree at Fort Hood in 2009] who have aligned themselves with its ideology." Gorka believes a resurgence of al-Qaeda is possible under Zawahiri: No longer needed to fill an operational role, "al-Qaeda will be the ideological center, where jihadists go to get spiritual centering."
Few feel that threat as clearly as Pakistani Christians. If anything, bin Laden's death has for now heightened the tension. At the government's recommendation, churches, Christian schools, and other institutions closed in major cities after bin Laden's death. The "unhappy and angry reaction of Pakistan" says a lot about the spread of bin Laden's ideology, said a pastor in Pakistan who is not named for security reasons: "We know whenever Western governments take any steps that Muslims think is against Islam or Muslims, the Christians always suffer the loss of life or property." In the war on terror each important success-and bin Laden's death chief among them-carries a renewed pledge of jihadist punishment.

Branding al-Qaeda
The death of bin Laden is an important blow to the leadership of al-Qaeda and to its base of operations. Pakistan, a sanctuary since the 2001 U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, is a guaranteed sanctuary no more. At the same time, al-Qaeda in the last decade has become less of an operational structure and more of a brand, according to expert Sebastian Gorka at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Here's how it works:
Al-Qaeda central: Founded in Afghanistan by Osama bin Laden, it was exiled to Sudan before finding sanctuary again in Afghanistan and along the Pakistani border under the Taliban. From its base of training camps there (al-Qaeda means "the base"), bin Laden trained fighters from 50 countries and planned numerous attacks-most significantly, the attacks of 9/11 on the United States.
Al-Qaeda franchises: Deprived of its base after the U.S. took control of Afghanistan, al-Qaeda increasingly relied on diverse terror cells linked by ideology and training but often disconnected from one another. Al-Qaeda in Iraq, founded in 2003 by Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was among the first with other prominent organizations in Yemen, North Africa, and Indonesia.
Leaderless jihadists: In some ways these are the most dangerous jihadists, individual sympathizers who with bombmaking skills and al-Qaeda training manuals can blow up a city. Doubt their reach? Watch the FBI video (available on YouTube) of what would have happened if a police officer hadn't discovered the Times Square bomb set by Faisal Shahzad last year.
Soft jihadists: Those who will not use violence but seek the same goals as al-Qaeda can be just as dangerous, and more difficult to combat. The Muslim Brotherhood and the Organization of the Islamic Conference are two rising examples of potent groups that use economic savvy and what Gorka calls "lawfare"-law as a weapon-to impose Islamic law and push toward a global caliphate. Given the protections they are entitled to under the U.S. Constitution, they may be a domestic force to be reckoned with.
