Bill Doba TALKS ABOUT WSU'S 2007 RECRUITING CLASS:
"We met our needs. We needed safeties and corners and right now we've got eight of those signed. One junior college player and the rest are high school kids. We needed a couple linebackers and were happy to find a couple. Actually, three linebackers so that will help us. We found a couple defensive tackles that we are excited about. And we said originally one defensive end, maybe a high school defensive end, but we got the one junior college defensive end. I believe we shored up our defense. I think we were short, not on talent necessarily, but on numbers last year."
"Offensively we needed offensive linemen and we signed four of them. We needed one junior college offensive tackle and we were able to sign Lesuma. I feel really good about the kids that we signed, we've had them in camp, a couple of them. We know what kind of attitude they have and just how tough they are. We needed just a couple receivers; we've got a good stable of them. Coach Levenseller would always like about ten more but we cut him to two. (Daniel) Blackledge is a great kid from Colorado and (Jeshua) Anderson is a phenomenal track athlete also. We increased the speed of the receiving core. We needed tight ends. We signed a really good future tight end, a young kid out of Canada, (Tyson) Pencer, and we signed the junior college kid that we really needed. Devin Frischknecht is a really good receiver. I'm happy about that."
"I am really, really excited about our quarterback, Marshall Lobbestael. I like his attitude and he's a strong kid. In the state championship game he long snapped, he played free safety, and he played quarterback. Against Gonzaga Prep he was 20 out of 25 so he is a very accurate thrower. He hasn't been to camps, hasn't been highly publicized and just the kind of kid Coach Rosenbach can mold into the kind of person he wants. He's a really good, positive kid and an excellent student."
"What I like most about this class, and I've been in everybody's home, I like the people. I like the parents in the homes. They are solid folks. They look you in the eye and talk to you. They are a good bunch of kids and I am excited to get them here."
On the fact that Marshall Lobbestael, Eric Block and J.T. Levenseller all led their teams to state championships as a quarterback.
"That's something that is a big plus. They are all good students and excellent leaders. It is a difficult thing to win a state championship, it doesn't matter at which level you are competing."

morning, 9am, my office and bring me your plan.
Tell me what you plan to do to bring fans back. Tell me your plans
for the QB, for the coaching staff, for free agency and the draft.
And then take a look at it. If its not written down, or its on a
cocktail napkin, then hit the button on their seat (like Dr Evil) to
dump them out of the room. If it looks comprehensive and well thought
out, tell them you want to study it; and then review it with a friend
in the biz. If it is decent, they get another shot. If not, they're
I think a couple of things are important. Changes are needed in the
coaching staff. There has to be a plan for the QB. And the franchise
has to be more public. Football is about the game, and yet its not.
Its about the hype, and Miami has none of that on the field. Players
don't talk usually. Assistant coaches only talk occasionally. There
needs to be more press conferences with a little hooplah. There needs
to be less secrecy and closed door kind of stuff. I don't think it
needs to go to a Rex Ryan extreme, but there needs to feel like
there's some accountability by the players, and it needs to look like
everyone is having some fun, and not just towing the line.
If Sparano and Ireland are okay with that, then fine. If not, buh-bye.

Didier Reynders and Annemie Turtelboom are pleased that Belgium is giving the International Criminal Court more criminal jurisdiction
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders and Minister of Justice Annemie Turtelboom are pleased that Belgium is giving the International Criminal Court in The Hague more criminal jurisdiction. Our country has implemented two amendments to the Rome Statute. It is on the basis of this Rome Statute that the International Criminal Court was established.
The two amendments were approved in 2010 at the first Conference on the Rome Statute in the Ugandan capital, Kampala.
Thanks to the first amendment, the International Criminal Court can now rule on the use of chemical weapons, such as poison weapons and poison gases and expanding bullets (so-called dum-dum bullets), both in international and non-international armed conflicts.
This amendment is called "the Belgian Amendment" because Belgium took the initiative for it. Our country wants to use additional proposals to further the work on harmonising the rules for the various types of armed conflicts.
The first amendment comes into force in Belgium on 26 November 2014. This makes our country the fifteenth Treaty State to ratify the amendment.
The second amendment introduces the definition of the crime of aggression into the Statute. It also determines the Court's competency rules for this crime. This is a major step forwards, one that describes the crime of aggression by one state against another.
In 1998, the Treaty States opted at the Rome Conference to allow the Court to have crimes of aggression prosecuted. Thanks to the new definition, in time, persons suspected of crimes of "aggression" can be prosecuted. However, thirty Treaty States must first ratify the Rome Statute in this regard. After 1 January 2017, a decision must also be made concerning the enforcement of the powers of the Court.
Belgium is the twelfth Treaty State to ratify the second amendment.
The two ministers confirm that Belgium will continue to play a pioneering role in the fight against immunity from punishment for the most serious crimes.

Miami Dolphins: Brandon Marshall does his Tim Tebow imitation
OK, there were no tears involved. At least I don't think there were. (Hard to see through the radio, you know?)
And this wasn't immediately after a loss to Ole Miss, but rather two days after the Miami Dolphins' fourth loss of this up-and-down season.
Yet Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall, making his weekly appearance on WQAM with Michael Irvin, just invoked Tim Tebow in "guaranteeing" the Dolphins will make the playoffs.
"No one is happy, sitting at 4-4," Marshall said. "There's some concern there. But we have a Dolphins team that will be in the playoffs and will contend in the championship game. This is not a Tim Tebow moment. We have what we need to be a championship team. Guaranteed, from here on out we will compete, we won't lay down and we'll make the plays necessary to win the game."
If the Dolphins do rally to make the playoffs — and right now they stand ninth overall in the AFC, three spots from a playoff berth — it would be the first postseason trip for Marshall since he came into the league in 2006.
He made 20 catches as a rookie on a 9-7 Broncos team, but since he has become a major weapon his teams have gone, in succession, 7-9, 8-8 and 8-8. So for Marshall to be making guarantees about making the playoffs, well, that's pretty wild stuff.
Marshall also took time to defend Dolphins quarterback Chad Henne, who has been receiving lots of heat from the fan base after the fourth three-interception game of his career.
"Those [criticisms] are probably coming from people who don't watch the game," Marshall said. "Chad Henne is a guy who's more than capable of being an All-Pro quarterback. Again, it's not just him. His destiny is in the hands of others: wide receivers, offensive line, offensive coordinator, the organization. It's not just one guy. He relies on everyone doing their job."
Marshall also had some interesting comments about the way he's being defended this season, which has limited him to one touchdown reception through eight games after catching 23 TDs his last three seasons in Denver.
"For me personally, there's two or three guys on me on every play," he said. "I've never seen so much coverage. … In the past, it's been situations, whether it's third down or second and long, where I've seen double coverage. This year it's every single play. … When you say big plays, they may not be coming from me right now."
And Sunday against the Ravens, when he was held to five catches for a season-low 30 yards?
"[Ravens safety] Ed Reed took away all my outside-breaking routes," Marshall said. "He was just sitting there. Another guy was on the inside. Where can I go? We have to be creative and move me around a little bit, which we did, and figure out ways to be more productive as a team."
Obviously, that's easier said than done. Marshall hasn't caught any passes longer than 25 yards since Week 3 against the Jets.
"When you have a guy in front of me and over top of me, it's pretty hard to get down the field," he said. "We have to be more creative finding ways to get down the field. It's tough when you're double- or triple-teamed running straight down the field. The chances of you making something happen are slim and none. As of now, I'm not a deep threat. Not because of myself or our offense, but more because of what teams are doing against us."
That's not to say Marshall has given up hope of going off the way he did multiple times in Denver last season.
"Teams are going to take me away with two to three guys at a time, but there's no excuse," he said. "The best ones like Jerry Rice, Michael Irvin, Chris Carter, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, they do it year in and year out. [The extra attention] is never going to stop, there's no excuse for me not being able to produce, which I am. I'm having a decent year. I don't think if a team doubles me I should be out of the ballgame. We just have to figure out a better way of putting our playmakers in position to make plays, and the coaches are doing a great job of that."
Your thoughts at the midway point on the most expensive receiver in Dolphins history and how he's being used?

Rated 2.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by beckett1066 Just Perfect! Just got this table and will use it as a work table in craft/sewing room. It is very heavy but I found it easy to assemble - just hard to move (I've got a few bruises from that!). I am not planning to extend it - so I don't know about that. I agree that for a table to eat on - the roughness would be a problem. Very sturdy though, and beautiful to look at. Just want I needed - so I am happy. January 10, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by greenc51 Nice table but questionable build quality As I type this, I am taking a break from putting this piece of junk together. Whoever constructed this, must've done so on a Friday at 5pm before it was time to go. I consider myself a pretty handy guy, but this table has been the most ridiculous thing to put together that I have ever experienced. First, the screws provided to screw through the legs into the cross support beam snapped off at the head, thus leaving the rest of the screw lodged in the leg. With few choices to remove it, I tried pliers. That didn't work because it simply stripped the threads. So I had to dremel off the protruding piece of broken screw, drill into the remaining screw lodged in the leg to make a slightly large hole. I bought extra wood screws from a local store, and tried to screw that in too. You know what? That snapped off at the head too. Ok, so at this point, something is up with this wood. After a third attempt, I managed to get a screw in there at a different angle. Second, the underside frame in one of the corners was broken and wobbly, and clearly an attempted repair and cover up with liquid wood by whoever built the table. I had to remove the original screws that were there and screw in slightly longer screws to tighten this area up. Third, the large hex bolts that screw through the frame into the legs, one corner was obviously measured incorrectly because the bolts on this corner will NOT reach the leg holes no matter how hard I try. (this is what I am take a break from at this very moment). All in all, the table is nice but I feel like I have built the table myself by having to improvise from such shoddy build quality. I want to return the table and exchange for another but I don't have a truck. I had to rent a uhaul van ($70) to get home this table and other chairs I purchased. This was my first and LAST purchase from world market. Good day. May 16, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jyoung Don't Buy I was really excited about this table but have been left really disappointed. The legs are placed so awkwardly that you can't actually put more than two chairs on each side unless you want them sticking out and when people are at the table they will be straddling a table leg while they eat. As for quality, the extension does not line up and it makes the whole table bow from the center. The brackets locking the table didn't have all the screws put in and broke right away. The most disappointing part is the table finish. I wanted rustic but the top is so unfinished that it gives you splinters and food gets stuck to every crevasse. I'm going to have put a polyurethane finish on the top so my table isn't caked with nasty food droppings. I had to buy it online and have shipped. I feel stuck with it and now I have to do work to it to make it functional. Not worth more than $100, find something else. June 16, 2013

There are a couple of new drinks being served here in Orlando. One I've tried and the other I haven't.
The first is Schmaltz Brewing Company's Jewbelation Bar Mitzvah, "their 13th Chosen Beer in 13 years of Schmaltz." This comes to us from the makers of HE'BREW — The Chosen Beer and they definitely deliver with their 13th anniversary beer. I recently had one at The Social Chameleon for my birthday (definitely not my 13th but I'm still not sharing) and it kicked my beer-loving butt. The beer is brewed with 13 malts, 13 hops and has an alcohol level of 13 percent, this is definitely a sipping beer and I dare you to drink more than one!
Jewbelation is Schmaltz's winter seasonal beer for Chanukah and will be on shelves until March 2010.
This next one I haven't tried yet. It's a "kruiden-based shot drink" called Harlem. Not named for the city in New York, actually the one that city was named after in Amsterdam called Haarlem. The kruiden part of the drink is "a term the Dutch use to describe the herbs that give Harlem its distinctively smooth yet bold taste."
Again, I can't back that up because I haven't tried it yet, but the press release sent to me provided a bunch of places where you can check it out. If you try it, let me know what you think?

DOT Ties to Sleep Aid Industry Riles Truckers
A recently formed Department of Transportation medical advisory committee charged with establishing health standards for truckers includes a panelist who sits on the board of the National Sleep Foundation, which receives funding from numerous manufacturers of sleeping pills and sleep-aid machines. The DOT's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Medical Review Board is considering new rules that would make transportation companies test all drivers for sleep apnea and require drivers to use forced air CPAP machines while sleeping if diagnosed with the condition.
Some trucking companies are already requiring sleep apnea testing for all truckers over the age of 50. The American Trucking Association, which represents the industry, has funded research that promotes routine screening. According to a recent analysis funded in part by the sleep aid industry, people with sleep disorders are two-and-a-half times more likely than the general population to be involved in vehicle accidents. Less than five percent of all highway fatalities are related to sleep disorders.
The medical board's five members include Barbara Philips of the National Sleep Foundation, which receives funding from several manufacturers of sleep drugs and CPAP machines and has endorsed mandatory screening and treatment. At its January meeting, the medical board heard from Allan Pack, who runs the Center for Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology at the University of Pennsylvania. Pack recommended mandatory testing for truckers with certain risk factors including age and obesity. In his presentation, Pack did not reveal that his newly created post at the University of Pennsylvania is funded by Philips Respironics, which manufactures CPAP machines.
If diagnosed with sleep apnea, truckers would have it noted on their licenses and could receive citations if caught sleeping at roadway rest stops without CPAP machines. Truckers fear the designation will limit their ability to get or change jobs in the industry. "This is disguised age discrimination without benefit of unemployment," said Linda Sunkle-Pierucki, a disabled trucker. According to a 2002 study by Pack, sleep apnea affects about 28 percent of truckers, about the same percentage as the general population. The Medical Review Board will hold a public meeting on October 6 in Alexandria, VA to consider the issue.
Pharma-Connected DTC Ad Group Strips Website of Info
The Georgia-based non-profit helping the Food and Drug Administration educate consumers about direct-to-consumer (DTC) drug advertising has stripped its website of the names and affiliations of its governing committee after consumer groups revealed its connection to a pharmaceutical public relations firm. Michael Shaw, executive director of the non-profit EthicAd, is also president of Shaw Science Partners, a drug industry marketing and consulting firm that claims to have helped launch over 25 pharmaceuticals, including Viagra, Celebrex, Zoloft, Cymbalta, and Rezulin, a drug later withdrawn from the market because of safety concerns. Earlier this month, the FDA and EthicAd launched a website aimed at educating consumers about DTC advertising.
The rebuilt EthicAd website now acknowledges that its members have connections to the pharmaceutical industry. But, the site claims, none does work for entities that are involved in any form of DTC advertising. However, Marc Scheineson, general counsel for the Georgia-based EthicAd and a former FDA official, acknowledged in a telephone interview that he does in fact work on DTC advertising. "It's what I do," he said. Scheineson is a partner with the law firm Alston &Bird, whose Washington-based lobbyists represent numerous drug and health-care-industry clients. In a letter to Capitol Hill last week, the Center for Science in the Public Interest requested Congress to investigate the matter and ask the FDA to contact legitimate consumer groups when developing consumer education materials.
Grassley Pounces on More NIH Conflicts of Interest
Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA), ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, last week raised new questions about the National Institutes of Health's use of outside advisers with ties to the drug and medical device industries. In a letter to NIH director Elias A. Zerhouni, Grassley asked why the agency last January hired Tufts University Medical Center professor Marvin Konstam as a senior advisor to the director of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Konstam simultaneously worked for a private heart-device company. A month later, Konstam submitted an article in support of devices produced by Orqis Medical, where he is listed as a medical director. The Boston Globe also reported that Konstam switched his affiliation from NIH to Tufts Medical Center after being named in a Journal of the American Medical Association article about ghost writing. He is expected to return to Tufts as chief physician in January.
The same day he received Grassley's letter, Zerhouni announced that he will step down from his post at NIH at the end of October to "pursue writing projects and explore other professional opportunities."
Lilly, Merck to Reveal Some Payments to Physicians
Starting late next year, Eli Lilly and Merck will begin voluntarily disclosing payments to doctors over $500, the Los Angeles Times and other papers reported last week. The disclosures will only apply to payments for consulting relationships or speaking at company functions. While agreeing to public disclosure, Lilly CEO John Lechleiter defended the practice of routinely making payments to physicians at academic medical centers and in community practice. "These services help to advance the science related to medicines and are important to both current and future patients who rely on pharmaceuticals as an integral part of their therapy," he said. The companies' disclosure plans are similar to requirements contained in the proposed Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which is now before Congress and would require disclosing the payments in a national registry. Neither the voluntary disclosures nor the PPSA require industry to list payments to continuing medical education providers, or payments to professional societies and patient advocacy groups that write clinical practice guidelines.
GAO: EPA Lax on Livestock Pollution
The GAO has charged the Environmental Protection Agency with failing to gather enough information to regulate air and water pollution from concentrated animal feeding operations. The report, delivered last Wednesday to the House Energy and Commerce Committee, questioned the EPA's proposal earlier this year to exempt livestock farms from reporting air pollution from their operations. The Wall Street Journal reports that the proposal was a result of pressure from livestock industry lobbying groups such as the National Chicken Council and the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association. A spokesman for the EPA says that the goal of the proposal is "reducing reporting burdens and protecting public health and the environment."
Odds and Ends
The Department of Justice is investigating charges that EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson committed perjury in testimony before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee about EPA's denial of California's request to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles, Environment and Energy Daily (subscription required) reported . . . . The former senior legal counsel for a unit of Medtronic Inc. alleged in a lawsuit that the medical-device maker provided surgeons with regular entertainment at a Memphis strip club, trips to Alaska, and patent royalties on inventions, the Wall Street Journal reported. . . . Michael H. Glantz, a political scientist who studies the societal impacts of climate change, will move the Center for Capacity Building to the University of Colorado after the National Center for Atmospheric Research defunded the agency, the New York Times reported. . . . A new study of clinical trials submitted to the FDA for new drug approvals revealed that most studies that fail never appear in medical journals, and over half of all trials for FDA-approved drugs remain unpublished . . . .

text: VZ, I was suprized about that round. I looked up the max velocity on it since you mostly hear about the sub sonic 220gr loadings. What I could find between loading manuals and internet lore was that on average the 300 black out was about 100fps slower than the 762x39 which is about 100fps slower than the 30-30 for the same bullet weights. There is usually more than 200fps difference between max loads for any given cartridge using different powders. I don't think the deer won't ever notice if they were shot with a 300 black out, 7.62x39 or the 30-30. For a cheap deer class upper I think I'll give the blackout another look.

Product FAQ's
Can you stack the banana plugs from the diver's communicators cable so you can have two divers on each diver channel?
Although it may be possible, we stronly discourage such operation. The added workload would cause overheating and stress to the amplifier card. Prolonged use in this condition will eventually cause perment damage and failure to the amplifier card.
Should I use a GFI when operating my radio off AC power?
When operating your Amron Diver Communicator on AC, it is critical to use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or isolation transformer for tender and diver safety. Surges and spikes are common on AC lines found on ships, generated locally, or at the end of long extension cable runs and can exceed 1kVolt. Such surges and spikes can cause the fuses, F1 and F2, to blow on the battery charger board and in extreme cases damage the charger circuitry. The battery charger is designed so that such a failure will be isolated and will not cause a safety issue to the tender or divers. It is strongly advised that your Amron Diver Communicator be operated on an AC circuit with a high quality surge arrester or an AC isolation transformer.
Can two batteries be charged at the same time if I run a splitter inline?
Yes, but it will take twice as long to charge the batteries.
Does the noise reduction filter remove all the background noise from the diver's topside audio?
Depending on the settings you're using, the sound level of the background noise can be reduced by as much as 18 dB.
Why does the speaker on my communicator sound muffled?The simplest way to fix this issue is to unplug the red banana plug from the red microphone 5-way binding post on the communicator and rotate it 180 degrees then reinstall it. This should fix your problem. For a more detailed explanation of what happened, please read below. The issue is not with the communicator, it is with the wiring of the umbilical. There is always the potential for wiring the speakers and microphone out of phase, similar to wiring the speakers on a car stereo system. There is an orientation to the banana jacks and they should be wired for proper phasing with the communicator. A banana plug does have an identified ground side marked on the plug. Amron always sets up their umbilicals so that the ground side is located on the left side so the user can consistently plug in their umbilical and avoid phasing issues. If a banana plug is plugged upside down or is wired out of phase, the sound quality will be significantly reduced. If the phasing is out and the orientation of both plugs are the same, then the banana plug wiring should be reversed on "only one plug" to avoid this issue again. It does not matter which plug you choose to reverse the wiring on.
When my battery does not appear to be holding a charge, how do I know if the problem is a bad battery or if the charger is broken?
To determine whether the problem is with the battery or charger you will need to verify if the charger is properly charging the battery.
Troubleshooting: Unplug your communicator and turn on the POWER switch. Measure the voltage across the yellow PUSH-TO-TALK (PTT) jack and write down this value for future reference. It should be greater than 9 Volts. Plug the communicator into an AC source and verify that the AC POWER LED on the front panel turns on. Re-measure the voltage across the PTT jack and note it down for future reference. It should be higher than the previous measurement. If this AC POWER LED does not light up when the communicator is plugged in, then check fuses F1 and F2 on the charger Printed Circuit Assembly (PCA). Allow the communicator to charge overnight. Unplug the communicator and re-measure the voltage across the PTT jack. If it is the same or less than the voltage you measured previously, then the charger is broken and the communicator needs to be sent in for repairs If it is the same or less than the voltage you measured previously, then the charger is broken and the communicator needs to be sent in for repairs. If the voltage higher than previous measurement but less than 13.5 Volts, then the battery is bad and needs to be replaced. If it is greater than 13.5 Volts but it still appears that the battery is not holding a charge, contact Amron for additional support. less than 13.5 Volts, then the battery is bad and needs to be replaced. If it is greater than 13.5 Volts but it still appears that the battery is not holding a charge, contact Amron for additional support.
What type of cable do I need to connect my Amron communicator to my Outland video system?Amron communicators and Outland Technology's video systems have a RCA Phono Jack. To connect the two systems together, you will need an audio cable with RCA Plugs on each end.
How do I install a new microphone in my Amcom II or III Communicator?Please refer to the Panel Microphone Installation instructions located in the attachments tab.
Can my Amcom communicator work on 240V / 60Hz?Yes, the unit will operate on 240V 50/60Hz.
How can I test for a blown fuse on my Amcom II series communicator?
If the unit is plugged into a live outlet and turning on the switch does not cause the AC POWER LED to light up, then the fuse(s) are probably blown. Unplug the unit from the outlet, remove the fuses and check continuity with a multimeter. Replace any fuse that does not show continuity.

Phil and Don Everly brought the country tradition of blood-related harmony to the rock and roll generation. Their songs and musical style informed and influenced countless musicians across many genres for seven decades and likely many more to come. There's a reason that Don and Phil Everly were among the first group of Inductees in 1986: their music helped define rock and roll. With the passing of Phil Everly on January 3, 2014, rock and roll lost one of its greatest voices, though a legacy of recordings and acolytes around the globe promise that Phil's music will never be silenced.
"When I was about 15 or maybe 12, I started playing in a band in school, and we got together in my garage – four guys with some beat up pieces of equipment that really didn't work too good," Neil Young said when inducting the Everly Brothers at the 1986 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. "We started playing, and we did instrumentals for about a year or so, and then I got up enough nerve to start singing. Some people say maybe I shouldn't have started that. Anyway, one of the other guys in the band started singing with me, and we were trying to get that sound that we've heard and loved so much, the harmony that the Everly Brothers put out from the very beginning on Cadence Records. We never did get it, but we worked real hard at it.
"Years later I found myself in Los Angeles, and we were putting together a band," recalled Young. "[Stephen] Stills and [Richie] Furay were working on the vocals and it was just like the same thing all over again, trying to get that sound, still couldn't get it."
Following Young's induction speech, both Everly Brothers, Phil and Don, took the podium, accepting their awards together and poking fun at their sometimes-acrimonious relationship: "Thank God they gave us two," joked Phil Everly. "We don't have to fight over it."
Phil Everly went on to express gratitude for being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "We really appreciate being with such fine company," he said. "It's really grand that rock and roll has reached this point. I think it speaks well of all of us. We made good choices when we were real young. Thank you all for honoring us."
Brother Don Everly shared similarly poignant remarks on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the music it honors: "It's kind of a 'hats off' to rock and roll, which has changed all of our lives – the way we dress, the way we look, the way we think, the way we interact amongst each other. I think it's been a good thing. Rock and roll has been good to us; hope it's been good to you."
The Everly Brothers are featured in the Museum's Cities and Sounds exhibit, in the "Rave On" section. There, visitors to the Museum will find the outfits worn by the brothers on the cover of The Fabulous Style of the Everly Brothers, as well as a 1963 Gibson Everly Brothers model featuring a split pick guard surrounding the sound hole that was meant to represent the brothers' familial resemblance.

Eating to Live on the Outside: Roots
Happy Saturday! I'm hungry. Let's grab something to eat. Today we're off to California and stuffing our faces at Roots, a vegan restaurant serving kind food for kind folks. How cute.
Roots really measures up, a totally workable place for Eating to Live on the Outside, tons of vegetables and other cool stuff. So, here's a quick list of food I might try out:
Farmers Market Salad
- Mixed greens, seasonal veggies, shallot Dijon vinaigrette and slice of bread; I'm okay with the bread, but dressing on the side.
Taco Salad
- Romaine lettuce, black beans, carrots, avocado, salsa, jicama, blue corn chips, pepitas and lemon garlic dressing; I can handle the chips and same deal with the dressing.
Avo Sandwich
- Cucumber, avocado, red onion, sundried tomato, Romaine lettuce, sunflower sprouts, vinaigrette and mustard on wholegrain bread; lots of great stuff here!
Cilantro Hummus Wrap
- Carrot, cilantro, hummus, sundried tomato, red onion, zataar and lemon balsamic vinaigrette and whole wheat wrap; I really like sundried tomatoes.
- Black beans, salsa, avocado, pepitas and lemon garlic dressing and whole wheat wrap; no complaints here.
Thai Peanut Avo Wrap
- Jicama, avocado, cucumber, sprouts, carrot, Romaine lettuce, cilantro, mint, green onion and peanut sauce and whole wheat wrap; I'll pretty much eat anything with avocado.
Porto Sandwich
- Grilled Portobello mushroom, sundried tomato, basil, Romaine lettuce and lemon balsamic vinaigrette on ciabatta bread; mushrooms are cool and I'm fine with the bread.
H.A.P. Sandwich
- Cilantro hummus, artichoke hearts, Portobello mushroom, sundried tomato, basil, red onion, Romaine lettuce and lemon balsamic vinaigrette on ciabatta; I dig it.
Raw Wrap Avocado
- Sunflower sprouts, avocado, beets, seasonal local veggies, collard greens and raw lemon garlic dressing; hard to do better than beets and collard greens.
Certainly plenty of good stuff to choose from, but if I REALLY had to pick something. I'd order the Taco Salad or the Raw Wrap Avocado, although I am leaning towards the wrap.
Here's the sad part. Roots appears to be looking for a new location. So let's hope they find one soon. But for now, check out Roots' menu and let me know what you'd go for. Peace.

Seventh-Ranked Women To Dedicate Boat To Head Coach Lori Dauphiny In Finale
TWITTER: @TigerWCrew l @PUTigers
Lori Dauphiny has had a lasting impact on Princeton Rowing. After Saturday, her presence will never leave the Shea Rowing Center. Except when it's on the water, of course.
And you get the feeling that is exactly how she would want it.
The Princeton open rowing team will dedicate a boat to Lori Dauphiny, the two-time National Coach of the Year, following Saturday's home regatta against Clemson. Dauphiny has led Princeton to five Ivy League Championships, including two of the last three, and her varsity boat won the NCAA Championship in both 2006 and 2011. Her presence was felt in the 2012 London Games, when five former open rowers competed in the Olympics.
"Lori has been a huge part of my Princeton career and I would not be the rower I am today without her coaching and guidance," senior Maggie Cochrane said. "She has cemented an amazing legacy of coaching here at Princeton and I am so fortunate to have been able to develop under her expertise. I don't think I would have been able to reach this level of athleticism without her and her dedication to our team and our success is unwavering."
While Cochrane and her classmates will be excited to praise Dauphiny, the humble Princeton coach would likely rather see the attention focused on her Tigers, especially the Class of 2014. Saturday will also be Senior Day for a program that has exhibited great depth over the last two years.
"There has always been healthy internal competition within our class and this year we really have pushed each other to new levels," Cochrane said. "We have all improved so much over our four years and I'm so happy to race my senior season with my fellow 2014ers. We are a larger senior class than in past years and we all want to end our time here with a great postseason that will do our class proud."
The postseason begins May 18 at the Ivy League Championships, but Cochrane can create some history this weekend. She has been part of the 2V all season, and that boat has a chance to cap a perfect year Saturday against Clemson.
"It would be amazing to complete a perfect season," she said. "Our boat has worked so hard in the past few months to improve and push ourselves. An undefeated season would legitimize all our hard work and really put us in a good place going into the Ivy Championships in a few weeks. Hopefully we will continue to gain speed and progress as a boat in the next month."
The final home date of the Princeton racing season is this Saturday, beginning with the Content Cup showdown. Following the women's race, the PURA will dedicate the boat to head coach Lori Dauphiny.

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsAugust 7, 2013
Career services offices that can offer a more targeted approach to sourcing will enjoy a distinct advantage with employers of all sizes, say Marie Artim, vice president, talent acquisition, at Enterprise Holdings, and Dan Black, Americas director of recruiting for Ernst & Young and NACE president. In the book "Leadership in Career Services:Voices from the Field," Artim and Black write that the obvious place to start is with career fairs.
They identify several strategies for customizing career fairs. Artim and Black suggest that:
Artim and Black point out that most career services professionals already take an active role in coaching and guiding students toward appropriate employment opportunities. While employers understand that career services organizations have a duty to advocate for and promote all their students, any efforts made to proactively find a good match for both the employer and the student is viewed as a real value-added effort, they write. Some of the best practices they've seen in this area include:
There is no shortage of ideas on how career services can customize services to all their clients, including employers. Artim and Black recommend that if you're not sure where to begin, ask your employer partners for suggestions or ideas.

Panel discussions focused on the innovations and trends around concepts of such as online video advertising, branded entertainment, the value of 3D content, audience targeting, fragmentation of content and platforms, the semantic technology of top video networks, and how to build a genuine social experience. The theme of the event seemed to be online video advertising: how to activate a social, engaged audience with a relevant, premium experience - and do so at scale. Solutions and strategies touched on a myriad of levers in the sector, including branded entertainment, gamification, targeting by device, and the value (or lack of value) of click-throughs.
The recurring solution was that a connection needs to be formed between the user and the editor or producer of content, and the brand needs to be a part of this experience in a non-obtrusive, relevant way. Users will join and invest in the conversation, contribute to brand lift, and get talking. Premium content leads to premium engaging and sharing. Mike Hogan, Editor in Chief of Moviefone and AOL TV, may have said it best in referencing the social platform of Huffington Post. "We're trying to have a cocktail party," he said, "not scrawls on a bathroom wall."
Thanks to all of the folks below who represented AOL on stage!
- Richard Bloom on "Internet Video and Advertising Strategies - Relationships between Content, Advertisers and Technology"
- Chris Grosso on "Maximizing Content Value - From Video to Entertainment and Information - Metadata, Content Farms, Syndication, Behavioral Search & Subscription"
- Ran Harnevo on "Video Advertising: How New Consumer Habits Are Driving the Advertising Community to Innovate, and the Challenges with Scale"

text: Just thought I'd post this as there might be a simple solution. I have a Yamaha remote controlled receiver (RX-V620RDS) - everything works fine manually and also with the remote except for one thing - the volume control which only operates with the remote. The volume control moves round when you turn it but has no effect on the volume. Obviously I can use the unit without any problems but it would be nice if the volume control could be operated manually as well. Could it be something very simple that I could fix myself? Thanks for any advice.

From the minute we pulled into the parking lot I was impressed by this hotel. The grounds were well-kept and clean. The staff was friendly and efficient when checking us in. I loved the decor. We booked 2 rooms for us and a couple family members. We all slept well and enjoyed the free breakfast. The property was quiet, and the courtyard in the back was particularly lovely. We were traveling all around the Dallas area(Allen and Arlington in particular). While the hotel wasn't what I would consider "close" to what we were doing, the 30 minute drive wasn't bad considering the price of this hotel and how much we enjoyed staying there. We're looking for a reason to come back!!!
A nice and warm stay

I was very pleased with my stay at this hotel. Simple and easy, young people and very nice staff. I was upgrade to a big room with two bedrooms and two bathrooms...although I was alone. Highli recommended.

Women's Swimming & Diving Opens Ivy Season In Philadelphia Tri-Meet
After an impressive opening weekend at its own Big Al Open, the Princeton women's swimming and diving team will open its 2012-13 Ivy League season Friday afternoon against both Penn and Cornell.
Princeton also opened its 2011-12 season in Philadelphia, where it defeated Penn 155-125 and Cornell 180-99.5. Among the Tigers' individual winners were Claire Loht (200, 500 free), Carter Stephens (100 free, 200 fly) and Shirley Wang (100 back).
While much of the roster has experience against Ivy League rivals, this will be the league debut for Princeton's talented freshman class. Several members of the Class of 2016 made strong, quick impressions at the Big Al Open; freshmen Sada Stewart and Nikki Larson both won three events apiece, and Larson went on to be named the CollegeSwimming.com National Women's Swimmer of the Week.
