Extreme Beer Fest: Name Our Beer Competition
What's in a beer name? You tell us.
BeerAdvocate (BA) and Dogfish Head Craft Brewery (DFH) once again challenge the BA community to name the official beer of the Extreme Beer Fest (EBF) on February 19 & 20, 2010 in Boston, MA. This unique collaboration beer between DFH founder Sam Calagione and lead brewer Bryan Selders along with BA founders and brothers Jason and Todd Alstrm will be brewed at the DFH brewery in Milton, DE mid-December and served for the first time at EBF; featuring a special cask during Friday's Night of the Barrels and straight-up during Session One and Two on Saturday.
The beer will then be bottled, followed by an exclusive limited release at the DFH Milton brewery during a special Weekend of Compelling Ales & Whatnot' on Saturday, March 13; see below for more details.
BeerAdvocate's Extreme Beer Fest is fortified by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and the letters E, B & F.
Here's insider 411 on the beer recipe development by Jason, Todd, Sam and Bryan. We had a lot of fun with this one. After laying down some basics over a conference call, the iterative and creative process ensued via email:
Sam: Dudes, the dates are set for you to come down and brew this with us here in Delaware in December. So I'm going to get the ball rolling to mention I want to consider smoking some of the malt for this beer over pecan wood. I had a steak grilled over this stuff in NYC a few days ago; awesome. I think it would work really well in a brown or darker beer and can order chunks of the wood online and we can put a stainless steel mesh screen over the grill we use to heat up rocks for Sah'tea here to smoke the grain.
Jason: Smoke is good, pecan wood sounds great. I know I had mentioned parsnips but for the batch size it would probably be a huge task, right? What about some Plantain Flour in the mash? Malt enzymes speak all languages from what I have been told HA! Have you guys used any of Breiss's "Extra Special Malt"; Burnt Sugar, Woody, Prunes... sounds like a really good organic cereal. ;-)
Sam: Dude. I like the idea of the extra special malt. Bryan is communicating with them about seeing if they will do the smoking over pecan wood and he can ask about the extra special too. I researched the plantain flower a bit. Barry Farms seems to be the biggest online seller. I have asked for pricing on larger shipments and nutritional specs; we ordered 10lbs for our test batch. Jason and Todd: thrown out a potential hop variety or two. Something geared more for bittering than aroma.
Bryan: Yup, I dig Briess Extra Special Malt, I'm also going to get their 2-row C-30 for this, along with our base malt and the fraction of malt that we smoke over pecan wood.
Sam: We are gonna use a smoker at our pub for the malt we do over pecan wood but we hoped to get the malting company to do the volume needed for the big batch at their facility. Bryan will send you a few possible yeast and hop scenarios for this beer later today. As I look at this recipe coming together I'm thinking addition of another specialty sugar might be a little too dislocated flavor-wise from the rest of the recipe. The pecan-smoked malt will add a nice earthy nutty note and the plantain should add sugar and complexity. Why fuk with a nice banana nut muffin? I do think a little bit a oats would work here though or something with a little spice. Keep me posted on hops and yeast and let's put the recipe to bed tomorrow or Wed at latest guys.
Bryan: My gut tells me that Wyeast 1099 or 1028 will be our best bet for this beer. I think the minerally characteristics of both strains will be complimentary to what we are trying to achieve with the other ingredient choices.
The smoked malt will deliver enough phenol that a Belgian strain will be inappropriate and distracting. American strains will be too flaccid, flabby and boring in this environment. The British strains I think have the right ester profile to play a good role in the experience.
Since this will be a relatively hop-neutral beer (for lack of a better term), we should shoot for 35 IBUs with 75% of that from an addition of a high alpha variety up front and something that says, "hops" and not "HOPS!!!!" to make up the remainder five minutes before the end of the boil. I think that variety should be Willamette.
Attached is a first go at a recipe. I threw some C-30 in the mix because my feeling is that the plantain flour will contribute some very simple, very fermentable sugars and I'd like to get some sweetness in the beer to bring out the plantain flavor (don't expect banana) while contributing some level of color along with the Extra Special. The Extra Special has very similar attributes to MFB Kiln Coffee and I think we should use it sparingly as it is fairly aggressive in its flavor contribution. It's different enough, however, to warrant its use. I got the nutritional data on the plantain flour to a degree that I had enough info to do the math on it. The recipe is in gallons, pounds and ounces.
The smoked malt is listed at a use rate that would require 1400 pounds at the Milton brewery.
It should be mashed a little on the hot side like 155 or 156. I think the terminal gravity listed on the sheet is realistic in these conditions considering the yeast strain choices.
Sam: Thanks Bryan. Lookin good. Yeast stuff sounds great. I am only nervous about the volume of pecan smoked malt, especially if Briess can't do it and we have to smoke it ourselves and I'm, nervous that this high a ratio will overpower other components of the beer. What if we do the test batch with 50 lbs of pecan smoked malt? Assuming that worked wouldn't that put the need for 75 bbl production batch somewhere around 750lb. We could do that over a few days in our own smoker if we had to.
Bryan: The smoked malt... I couldn't agree more. The plantain will have a delicate flavor and too much smoked malt is too much smoked malt. If we go for less, let's just plan to do the smoking in house. The fact that we are embracing the idea of the 75 bbl batch makes me comfortable saying that. I'll redo the math tomorrow.
Todd: I love where this is going! But... it's missing something to tie it together; especially as it's not hop-centric and we removed the specialty sugar.
Herbs. I suggest two, just for the fun of it:
Stevia (the bulleted benefits are really interesting!!!)http://healing.about.com/cs/herbaltherapy/a/stevia.htm
Turmeric (just a hint of it could compliment the smoked malt)http://www.bulkpeppercorns.com/turmeric_powder.html
Sam: Whaddup gents? Thanks for the feedback, Todd. Bryan and I met about the beer this morn, we are both stoked on your guys idea of plantain. We have the 10 pounds in house for the test batch and it tastes great. We are worried about turmeric as it is such a pronounced spice we think it would overwhelm both the pecan smoke and plantain and I checked with our TTB lawyer and he said no go on Stevia because:
In 1995, the FDA revised an earlier 1991 import alert to allow Stevia and its extracts to be imported as a food supplement but not as a sweetener. Yet, it defines Stevia as an unapproved food additive, not affirmed as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) in the United States.
Especially since we plan to bottle this beer.
We like the recipe as it is with the Whitbread yeast but if you want to think of a diff herb or spice that would work well with plantain and pecan smoke let us know today - let's finish the recipe today and tomorrow finalize all the deets.
Todd: We're having a tough time on an herb / spice to match, but we think the introduction of some carob could play well w/ the plantain and pecan smoke; and it's not chocolate.
If you dig it, let's bust this out ASAP!
Sam: Carob... I like it. Can we source it in volume? Can it work without fuken up head retention?
Bryan: I like the idea of Carob too; no worries on head-retention; low oil content; a chocolaty root that has subtle Indian spice undertones; gonna go well with the pecan-smoked malt. I think this will actually work better with our doggie yeast which we have in house and will use for the test batch. Since we last met and talked about the hops being more for bittering than aroma let's go with CTZ and Willamette. Let's do this!
- Plantain Flour
- Carob
- Pecan-Smoked malt
- Briess Extra Special, 2-row C-30, and Pils malts
- CTZ (Columbus, Tomahawk, Zues) and Willamette hops
- Target IBUs: 35; not a hop forward beer
- Target ABV: 7.0%- Unfiltered (and bottle-conditioned)

Chronic fatigue and sex
I was recently diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome though I've had symptoms for over three years. I have experienced a sharp drop in libido since my symptoms began, and also a loss of nighttime, involuntary erections. Is this "normal" with CFS? If so, what can be done? I've already been tested for hormones, which are normal, and been to a urologist, who also didn't find anything specific.
I've also considered the prospect that it is psychological, but doubt this. For one, the problem doesn't seem to reflect changes in mood at all and there have been no changes in my relationship since the illness. Also, it seems unlikely that involuntary erections would be affected if it was mood or anxiety related.
I wanted to ask others how this illness affects sex, and whether there are any remedies, strategies, tests, etc. they would recommend? Are there any sources for more information?
Many thanks!

Issued: 23 March 2011
BT considers that Ofcom's Option 1, cost recovery on a Fully Allocated Cost basis, aligns most closely with Ofcom's cost recovery principles and is superior to, and a more proportionate response than, the proposed Long Run Incremental Costs (LRIC) approach (Option 4). It is also consistent with the Competition Commission's direction.
If, however, a bottom up model is to be used (and Ofcom acknowledges that the total amount of cost to be recovered remains unchanged under any of the options), then BT urges Ofcom to make some adjustments to it. For example, bottom up models are incremental in nature so should not additionally have LRIC ratios applied as this will bias costs downwards. BT has found examples of costs being omitted and the wrong prices being used.
Once the corrections BT has identified have been made, Ofcom's bottom-up model gives an overall annual cost estimate for Points of Handover similar to the adjusted models BT has provided to Ofcom for calculating POH costs.
BT urges Ofcom not to asymmetrically implement price reductions immediately on publication of the Statement and to phase in price increases. There's no evidence that PPC operators who consume a mix of different types of POH will be worse off overall from the proposed price changes.
BT agrees with Ofcom's proposal for the notification periods to be waived for Type I and II POH. Yet Ofcom should additionally waive the 90 day notification period and RPI-0% sub caps for the Traditional Interface (TI) basket to avoid a shortfall in common cost recovery.

After 6 weeks of testing the mental prowess of its fans, Bonnaroo released the last of its 2014 Bonnaroo Lineup Clues today, Feb. 13. With the lineup announcement show scheduled for Feb. 19, the clue game is winding down, but those devious Bonnaroo promoters aren't ready to let it go without one final puzzler. You can find our reports on all the Bonnaroo Lineup Clues here.
The final Bonnaroo Clue is a picture of three cars driving down forked roads toward a single road with a 25 m.p.h. sign on it. The cars appear to have the emblems for Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Hyundai. You can see the image here.
There have been a few guesses about this one but the overwhelming consensus among fans on Bonnaroo's Instagram page and the Inforoo message board is that the clue refers to Neutral Milk Hotel.
The cars are a Nissan, a Mitsubishi, and a Hyundai, in order from left to right. The first letters of each are NMH, pointing to Neutral Milk Hotel. Additionally, the band is on its 25th anniversary tour, bringing in the speed sign. The final piece is the three roads merging into one. Neutral Milk Hotel's first major label exposure was on Merge Records. Taken all together, it seems like a pretty solid slam dunk for Neutral Milk Hotel to be at Bonnaroo 2014.
Want to play along? Fans are still trying to figure out the answers to several of the clues in the days leading up to the lineup announcement on Feb. 19. You can play by tagging your guesses on social media with the #RooClue hashtag or join in at Inforoo, where some of Bonnaroo's most seasoned clue sleuths analyze each detail.
For the answers to all of the 2014 Bonnaroo Lineup Clues as well as the unveiling of the initial lineup and special performances from The Flaming Lips and Ben Folds, tune in to the Big Lineup Announcement Megathon, or BLAM! as it is known, at Bonnaroo.com on Feb. 19 at 8:00 p.m. Central time.
Once the lineup is announced, we'll be on hand with profiles, interviews, news, and tips on must-see acts right up to and throughout Bonnaroo 2014. Click Subscribe at the top of the page to get it all delivered to your inbox.

Storm rains on Souths' parade
Melbourne Storm have smashed South Sydney 24-6 to reach their sixth preliminary final in seven years.PT0M0S 620 349
Thanks for joining me tonight. For all the latest news from the finals log on smh.com.au or pick up a copy of tomorrow's Sun-Herald.
Full-time: Storm 24-6. Storm move straight through to week three of the finals and secure another home final. Souths, still searching for their first finals win since 1987, will play the winner of Canberra and Cronulla in Sydney next Saturday night.
80 min: Committed to the last, Melbourne drive Inglis back into the in-goal.
78 min: With all the pressure off, Souths are stringing some nice passes together, almost resulting in a try to Farrell, who was held up.
73 min: Reynolds converts. Storm 24-6.
72 min: Souths finally get on the scoreboard thanks to a try to Eddy Pettybourne. Storm 24-4.
70 min: Disallowed try to Adam Reynolds, video ref correctly ruling Dave Taylor had impeded Hoffman. No doubt about that decision.
66 min: Good to see Fa'aoso back on the Storm bench apparently OK.
64 min: Kevin Proctor on report for a dangerous tackle. Nervous few days coming up for him.
61 min: Richie Fa'aoso being stretchered off after suffering a head knock while trying to tackle Roy Asotasi. Meanwhile, Souths' Matt King will have an X-ray for a suspected broken arm. On the sideline with his arm in a sling.
58 min: Widdop bundles Everingham into touch with the try line beckoning. The Storm five-eighth has been outstanding in defence and attack tonight.
54 min: Anything Souths throw at Melbourne they have an answer to.
48 min: Smith raises the flags from the sideline. Storm 24-0.
46 min: The Storm score their second try from a scrum with Waqa crossing in the corner. Storm 22-0.
43 min: Souths' disciplinary woes continue as they concede the first penalty of the second half.
41 min: Smith gets the second half under way.
Half-time: Melbourne 18 (R.Hoffman, B.Slater, M.Fonua tries; C.Smith 3 goals), Souths 0. Souths have a massive mountain to climb in the second half but at least they'll have the wind behind them.
37 min: Smith's kick hits an upright and bounces away.
36 min: Another try to Melbourne. A beautiful in-and-away from Gareth Widdop after a scrum win creates an overlap and chunky winger Fonua does the rest. Pretty to watch ... if you aren't a Souths fan. Storm 18-0.
32 min: But no joy for the Bunnies this time. Melbourne are giving them a lesson in finals football tonight.
31 min: Now it's Souths' turn to attack the Melbourne line after Waqa is tackled in-goal.
30 min: Melbourne pound the Souths line again but the Rabbitohs hold on.
26 min: Smith makes it three from three. Storm 14-0.
25 min: Melbourne make Souths pay as Slater bursts into the back line to score their second try. Video ref rules TRY despite an iffy grounding of the ball. Storm 12-0.
23 min: Frustration really is getting the better of Souths, who are marched for back chat after being penalised.
22 min: Melbourne create an opening on their right-hand side but Sisa Waqa's pass is correctly ruled forward.
21 min: Now Michael Crocker, who has a bit of form in this area, concedes a penalty. Souths are their own worst enemies at the moment.
19 min: Souths still seem rattled by Melbourne's try against the run of play. They need to score next I reckon.
12 min: Smith penalty goal puts the Storm ahead 8-0.
9 min: Cameron Smith converts. Storm 6-0.
7 min: TRY to Melbourne as Ryan Hoffman crashes over following an end-to-end break initiated by Billy Slater, who swooped on a loose pass from Souths and linked up with Dane Nielsen before Mahe Fonua was held up over the line. Storm 4-0.
4 min: Melbourne muscle up in defence near their line to hold out Souths. This match looks like it's going to be cracker.
1 min: Souths' Dylan Farrell kicks off.
The teams are out on the field and it's raining, just for a change in Melbourne. Standby for kick-off.
Good evening all, welcome to our coverage of game two of the NRL finals series. As the late, great Big Kev used to say, I'm excited! Especially after my Roosters snatched victory against Souths with eight seconds remaining in their Toyota Cup semi-final. Oh what a feeling!
Melbourne are hosting the Rabbitohs at AAMI Park.

Tommy Rewis has resigned as Hickman County head football coach and has been hired as the offensive coordinator/running backs coach at Kentucky Christian.
Kentucky Christian is a college located in Grayson, Kentucky and the Knights play on the NAIA level.
"It was a great opportunity for me so I'm trying my hand at college coaching," Rewis said. "I had a good run at Hickman County and the program is in good shape."
Rewis had a successful three year run at Hickman County as he posted a 21-16 record and led the Bulldogs to three Class 3A playoff appearances.
"We have started process of finding his replacement as Coach Rewis did a good job for us," Hickman County Athletic Director Mike Smithson said.
In fact, The Bulldogs have named offensive coordinator Kelly Myers as the Interim Head Coach.
Overall Rewis has a 87-109 career record with stops at Robert Toombs Academy (GA) (1994-95), Tift Area Academy (GA) (1996-99), Fairview (2000-03) and Heritage (2004-08).
Rewis had success at both Georgia stops as he took Robert Toombs to the playoffs both years and Tift Area to three consecutive playoffs.
When he came to the Volunteer state in 2000, he suffered through a 1-9 year at Fairview but quickly turned the Yellow Jackets fortunes around as they made three straight playoff appearances.
In 2002, the Yellow Jackets won their first playoff game since 1979 beating Huntington 16-15.
Since making the playoffs in 2001, Fairview has made the playoffs 12 of the last 12 years.
Currently there are open jobs at Hickman County, Hixson, Whitwell, Middle Tennessee Christian, Clay County, Bolivar, Fairley, Clarksville Northwest, Ezell Harding, Red Bank, Bearden, Carter, Perry County, Monterey, Clarksville, Halls, Unicoi County, Nashville Overton, Marion County, Kirby, Chattanooga Central, Jackson Christian, Knoxville Central and Richland as schools currently looking for a head coach.

French automotive designers Thibault and Marc Devauze and modeller Clement Couvreur have created this Audi roadster motorcycle concept based on a Ducati 848 engine but with elements of Ducati's Hypermotard and Monster, all wrapped in Audi Design Language. The purchase of Ducati by Audi means such a motorcycle is not all that improbable, and Audi's carbon fiber knowhow and Direct Shift Gearbox might also help. Audi-owned DKW was once the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the world - wouldn't it be nice to see a real one of these surface. Read More
Harley Davidson has been dominating flat track racing in America basically since it began. On the faster one mile tracks it is 17 years since any other manufacturer has won a race. So it was an enormous surprise to see the Ducati Hypermotard 1100EVO powered flat-tracker take the marque's first ever Grand National victory in the Yavapai Downs Mile in Arizona last Saturday. Apart from ending an unbroken 17 year winning streak by Harley on one mile tracks, the win marks the first time a readily available production engine has won a Grand National Twins race in 29 years. Read More
Ducati's supermotard-on-steroids, the 1100 Hypermotard, has been terrorizing the streets for a couple of years now, a concept bike that became reality after it made a sensational splash at the 2005 EICMA show in Milan. Aimed at marrying some of the soft-suspension, short-wheelbase, low-weight feel of a motard with the grunt of a 100-horsepower L-twin motor and unmistakeable Ducati streetbike style, the Hypermotard is an absolute giggle machine. It's also fairly pricey though, which is why Ducati have just given it a much more affordable little brother. The Hypermotard 796 will sneak in under US$10,000, using a torqued-up version of the 696 Monster engine and boasting both less weight and a lighter clutch than the 1100.Read More
September 19, 2006 One of the most anticipated motorcycles of all time from Italian exotica manufacturer Ducati is Terblanche-designed Hypermotard which puts 130 horses on the ground and weighs just 175 kilograms. Since it was announced last November, it has been the focus of much media attention and in February was voted the best overall motorcycle design trophy winner for 2005 by the Motorcycle Design Association. Slated for production early in 2007, Motorcycle Blog Visordown managed a scoop on Sunday when Visordown regular John Hall was on his honeymoon in Italy and decided to visit the Ducati factory in Bologna for the factory tour. John tells the story: "We were driving back to Verona and stopped at an Autostrada stop just north of Modena at about 6pm. I saw these bikes pull up and couldn't believe my eyes. I'd seen the pictures of the prototype Hypermotard but never thought I'd see one in the flesh, let alone two! The test riders were not happy bunnies when they saw me taking photos, they jumped back on their bikes and shot off before I could get up close!"Read More
February 18, 2006 The Motorcycle Design Association, a group of designers and professionals from within the two-wheel industry worldwide, has voted the Ducati Hypermotard, designed by Pierre Terblanche, as the best overall motorcycle design trophy winner for 2005. In winning the best overall design award, the Hypermotard scored 50% more votes than the runner-up, the Yamaha MT-0S concept bike. The MT-OS won the concept bike category with Honda's DN-01 and the Victory Vision tieing for second place. The Hypermotard's award follows on from the 'Best of Show' award it won at the EICMA Show in Milan last November, one of the most important shows worldwide for the motorcycle industry.

November 16, 2005 Ducati used the opening of the EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan yesterday to show two new motorcycles – one you can buy and a concept that Ducati is considering for production. The bike you can buy (as a 2007 model in 2006) is the new king of the naked bike class, the MONSTER S4RS TESTASTRETTA, a minimalist machine powered by the legendary Testastretta engine which has won several World Superbike championships and puts 130 brake horsepower on the tarmac (150 bhp with an optional exhaust). Equally as delectable and appealing as the S4RS was the Hypermotard concept machine – an extension of the supermotard class of machines using an air-cooled 1000 Dual Spark engine and weighing in at just 175 kilograms.

Minnesota has long been one of the few states that do not regulate large-scale pet breeders, but thankfully, state lawmakers have voted to change that. HF 84/SF 36, which will help the vulnerable animals in puppy and kitten mills, successfully passed both chambers during the 2014 legislative session, and was just signed into law this week by Gov. Mark Dayton. The Governor was a key supporter of this legislation and helped ensure it got through the legislature during the final days of the legislative session.
"As one of the few states not regulating large-scale commercial breeding facilities, Minnesota was a target for unscrupulous breeders looking to set up shop," said Cori Menkin, senior director of the ASPCA's Puppy Mills campaign. "With the passage of this bill, Minnesota will no longer be a haven for these types of facilities. The ASPCA thanks lawmakers and the many local advocates who fought for years to gain this protection on behalf of animals."
The new law requires commercial dog and cat breeders in Minnesota to be licensed in order to operate and sell dogs and cats in the State of Minnesota; gives legal authority to the Minnesota Board of Animal Health (BAH) to inspect commercial dog and cat breeding facilities annually to enforce existing state laws and new laws to ensure animal care standards are met; and imposes civil, administrative and criminal penalties for those who violate the law. The law becomes effective July 1, 2014.
Puppy mills are large-scale commercial breeding facilities where profit is given priority over the well-being of the animals. Breeding dogs and cats typically live in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions, without adequate food, water, veterinary care or socialization, and are bred at every heat cycle. To combat these horrific conditions, the new law creates a licensing program, and will require commercial breeding facilities to be inspected annually, and to comply with minimum standards of care for dogs as well as cats.
"Passage of this new law shows what happens when dedicated advocates don't give up but keep pressing the legislature to do what is needed," said Menkin. "For several years this issue has been debated, discussed, and dissected. The final product is the result of good people working together to end bad practices and prevent animal suffering."
Puppy mills exist in part to supply puppies to pet stores. The ASPCA's No Pet Store Puppies campaign urges consumers not to buy any items – including food, supplies, or toys – at pet stores that sell puppies. In 2013, the national campaign launched a database containing more than 10,000 photos taken during routine USDA inspections, linking many of them to specific pet stores throughout the country that have sold puppies from the breeder within the last year. Consumers are able to see first-hand where pet store puppies really come from.

Beckie Named to NSCAA All-America Team
Janine Beckie became Texas Tech's first All-American Friday.
Nov. 30, 2012
2012 NSCAA All-America Teams | A look at Beckie's 2012 season
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech freshman forward Janine Beckie officially became the program's first All-American Friday as the National Soccer Coaches Association of America announced its official postseason team.
"This is an exciting honor for such a young player like Janine." Texas Tech head coach Tom Stone said. "Janine's preparation for her first college season was excellent and her youth national team experience over the summer accelerated her development. In the college environment, Janine's personal commitment to training and being ready to play every day was exemplary . Beyond her soccer, Janine's humility and team-first attitude is what really makes her the special person and player that she is."
One of two freshmen on the three All-America squads, Beckie was tabbed to the second team after leading the Red Raiders with 14 goals and five assists during her sensational 2012 campaign.
"It is an unbelievable honor to be recognized amongst such an impressive group of players," Beckie said. "The amount of support I have had this season helped me to get where I am. I have incredible teammates and an amazing coaching staff - they are truly fearless champions. I am blessed to be given this honor and to represent my school, team and family."
The Highlands Ranch, Colo., native and Big 12 Rookie of the Year selection matched the school record with five game-winning goals on the year while her 14 scores were the most by a Red Raider since the 1996 season. Her 2012 campaign propelled Texas Tech to its first NCAA Tournament berth in school history where the Red Raiders advanced to the second round and nearly knocked off top-seeded Florida State in Tallahassee, Fla.
On Wednesday, Beckie was named to the Top Drawer Soccer Freshman Team of the Year as a first team selection.
Beckie recorded three multi-goal performances including the Red Raiders' NCAA Second Round match against Florida State where she scored twice. Her goal against Kansas on Nov. 1 led to Tech's first-ever victory at the Big 12 Tournament as the Red Raiders advanced to the semifinal match.
Beckie was twice a Big 12 Player of the Week honoree and scored two game-winners in the final minute of play this season. Meanwhile she was honored as the Disney Soccer/NSCAA National Player of the Week after scoring twice to defeat Oklahoma State in the regular season finale at the John Walker Soccer Complex.

Police: 2 beaten in Daytona Beach motel room
Published: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 8:37 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 10:54 p.m.
A Daytona Beach man and woman staying at a beachside hotel were badly beaten by three men who came to the room looking for drugs, police said.
Police said the woman was also possibly sexually battered by one of three suspects and they are actively investigating the rape allegation, police spokesman Jimmie Flynt said Wednesday morning.
Anthony Gates, 42, and the 25-year-old woman had to be hospitalized for injuries they suffered when three men forced their way into their room and severely battered them, police said.
One of the suspects, Marcell Graham, 24, of Daytona Beach, who said he is a Bloods gang member, was arrested and charged with home invasion robbery and resisting an officer without violence, police reports show.
The other two suspects got away, police said.
The assault occurred at the Sea Dip Beach Resort and Condominiums, 1233 S. Atlantic Ave., about 3:32 a.m. Tuesday, according to police.
Officers arriving at the resort's room heard multiple people screaming and saw the suspects running from the hotel's property, reports show.
Officers saw a suspect jump over a fence and drop a digital scale, while another officer pursued Graham and caught him, investigators said.
An investigation by police revealed Gates and the woman were in the hotel room when they heard a loud knock on the door. As Gates opened the door, he was punched in the face. The blow was so hard it knocked out Gates' front teeth, police said.
The three men forced their way in and beat up Gates and the woman while ransacking the room "looking for narcotics," police said.
The woman pleaded with the suspects, saying they "only shoot up, we don't do hard," reports show.
Gates was so badly beaten police found him gasping for air. The woman was also beaten and had a swollen shut right eye. Both were taken to Halifax Health Medical Center, police said.
The assault remains under investigation, police said.

Microsoft will send out an update to recalibrate the Xbox One controller sometime between now and the launch of Respawn Entertainment's much-anticipated mech first-person shooter Titanfall next month, according to a report today from GameSpot.
In an interview with The Verge, Titanfall design lead Justin Hendry said the update to the Xbox One console is just a matter of "fixing the controller input" so that it felt less "twitchy."
"It wasn't really where we felt it should be; it was a little overly twitchy with the current controls," Hendry said. "Now it's fixed. We're happy with it."
Respawn and Microsoft collaborated on the Xbox One controller recalibration.
In the same interview Hendry said that Respawn is working with Microsoft on a new version of the Xbox One's upscaler, which would most likely help render games at lower resolutions to 1080p.
The news comes as Respawn community manager Abbie Heppe revealed today that Titanfall will not run at native 1080p for the Xbox One, though the full-scale game will likely run close to 900p and be upscaled to the higher resolution.
You can read that full Examiner report by clicking here.
A Microsoft platforms exclusive, Titanfall heads out on March 11 for the Xbox One and Windows PC. The Xbox 360 version of the game will be delayed until March 25, however.

Im building an amd65 for my first build. I think I have the build pretty well figured out. The only thing I am still tossing around is the finish. I read that duracoat engine paint works well but needs to be baked on.
How are you guys baking it on? The only oven I have access too it the one in my house that we cook with. I guess if the fumes arnt too bad or it wont contaminate my oven, I would consider doing it. And how do you get the whole gun to fit inside of it? Im just worried that the meatloaf is giong to taste like paint if I tried this. Is there any paint that you can put on that air cures and is thick and strong enough to hold up to the heat and abuse? I would imagine that normal spray paint would not last long and probably rust.
On another note, the local gunshop want 75 bucks to bead blast rifle, and bake on gun coat. Is this fair price? Im looking to build cheaply.:hatprop:

We visited a Friday afternoon after the lunch rush around 2:00 in the afternoon. We stood at the hostess-less hostess stand for a few minutes before we were acknowledged (meanwhile waitstaff constantly walked by). We were eventually greeted with a, "Three? Sit here," from a man in the bar area as he pointed to the closest table near him. This rubbed me the wrong way. I have no problem with eating in the bar area, I have a problem with a what is presumed to be manager (since he was in a shirt and tie and not the Aria button up) not walking over to greet patrons of his restaurant and walking them to the table. We read the generous menu and eventually decided on an appetizer of garlic pizza knots and a large margherita pizza, a bottle of wine for my friend and and I and a beer for her husband. Only thing was, we still hadn't been acknowledged by a waiter. Some time had passed, after many unsuccessful attempts to to grab the attention of waiters walking by, before a bartender came over and took our drink and appetizer order. Only after did that a waitress finally come over, greet us, and asked what we'd like to drink. Um... Before we got a chance to explain the bartender came rushing over and let her know he already took our drink and appetizer order. We then placed our pizza order with her before she ran off.
Our appetizer was served to us very promptly and it was delicious. The knots were not like any I had experienced before. The garlic knots I'm familiar with are hunks of pizza crust in a knot formation brushed with butter, garlic and cheese. These were almost a-phylo-like dough brushed with butter, garlic and cheese then rolled up and placed in a dish to bake. It was so good! There may or may not have been a small fork fight over the last one in the dish.
The pizza also came out very quick. The pizza was good, not bad but also nothing outstanding. Sauce was very good but it was on the light side, and we asked for more from a passing by bartender. The mozzarella was also very good. The dough was the disappointing feature, it was a bit too thick and a little chewy in the crust area.
|Good Margherita Pizza
|Empty Cannoli :(
Overall, unless you're getting carry out, stay away - the good food doesn't make up for the terrible service. If you're eating in, sit in the bar area.

You are sure to busy and caught up with many things on your special day. We've all heard there are three sides to every story. How about having a chance to see your whole event from someone else's perspective? A great way not to miss out on all of the exciting moments of your big day is to pass out disposable wedding cameras at your wedding or reception.
You could give a camera to each guest or maybe set a few out at each table at the wedding reception. Your friend and family are sure to capture moments that you might have never had a chance to see had you not given them all camera to use. It could even be fun to give some camera to the children in attendance. They always seem to find things that adults miss.
Disposable wedding cameras come in a variety of styles from your standard plain to others than can compliment the decor of your wedding reception. You don't have to limit them to use solely at your reception either. How about sharing them at other important events along the way, like the bachelor or bachelorette party, the rehearsal dinner, or even the bridal shower.
At the end of the events leave a collection basket to collect all of the cameras. Then, drop them off at your local developers and wait to see all of the exciting images your friends and family caught on film.

Cheney Tries to Convince House Republicans on Treasury Plan
Vice President Dick Cheney and other Bush administration officials Tuesday tried to convince skeptical House Republicans a growing financial crisis would reverberate beyond Wall Street if a $700 billion Treasury Department proposal to buy up troubled mortgage-based assets is not adopted.
Cheney did not comment as he left the meeting with House Republicans, but members said his focus was on presenting the administration's plan as an attempt to keep growing unrest in the markets from affecting their constituents.
"The main purpose, the political purpose, was to show Republicans that it's not just Wall Street, it's Main Street," said Rep. Peter T. King, R-N.Y., a member of the House Financial Services Committee. King said representatives from the Federal Reserve and the White House Council of Economic Advisors also attended the meeting.
House Republican leaders, several of whom expressed displeasure with the administration's bailout of American International Group (AIG), now are faced with the task of convincing rank and file members to get behind the Treasury proposal.
House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said after the meeting that, while "we have members who have concerns about how we're doing this," Congress should quickly adopt the plan without "everybody's latest idea hanging on it."
"If we do nothing, we are jeopardizing our economy, jobs, peoples' retirement security," Boehner said.
But it's unclear how receptive House Republicans are to a plan that many of their constituents believe is just another bailout.
"The House has a lot of questions," said Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Ala., the top Republican on the Financial Services panel. "There is a tremendous amount of unease among the members in being told,this is the plan, you have no choice, you have to pass it."
Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, was among the lawmakers who raised concerns in the meeting with Cheney. "I do not appreciate being told that I have to vote for something in one week, with no limitations … to solve a problem that the average constituent in my district has never heard of.
"Just because God made the world in seven days does not mean we have to pass this bill in seven days," Barton said. He said he would rather see Congress take action to prevent or alleviate the downstream effects on small businesses that Paulson and Bernanke have warned about.
"If that's the problem, let's have a loan guarantee for individual car loans. If we're trying to help small town America, let's help small town American," Barton said.
King said oversight and executive pay lead concerns among House Republicans about the plan, in addition to concerns about attempts by congressional Democrats to add a provision to the proposal that would allow homeowners to renegotiate their mortgages through bankruptcy proceedings.
King predicted that, while "no one is enthusiastically for it," a majority of House Republicans would support the plan.
"Probably the [House Republican] leadership and a number of Republicans, including myself, would vote a final package, not because we like it – because there's really no other alternative," King said. –Patrick Yoest

Darnick Tower
Darnick Tower dates back to the 15th century, and was owned by the Heiton family for centuries.
The first Darnick Tower was built around 1425 by the Heiton family, after they were granted land at Darnick by James I. The Heitons had their origins in Normandy.
Following the Battle of Ancrum Moor in 1545, Darnick Tower was attacked and partly destroyed by the retreating English army led by the Earl of Hertford. A new charter of the lands of Darnick were granted to an Andrew Heiton, or De Heyton, by Mary Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley in 1566, and the tower was rebuilt in 1569.
The tower is a three storey tower house aligned approximately east to west, measuring around 9.1m by around 6.7m north to south. Projecting from almost the middle of the south wall is a tall square stair tower. The entrance is via a door at ground level in the east side of the stair tower.
The basement level was originally vaulted and contained the kitchen, with a fireplace on the west wall. However the vaulting apparently collapsed in the 1780s and was removed, the walls of the kitchen then being made square.
On the first floor is the main hall, taking up the entire floor and measuring around 6.9m by 4.3m, with a large fireplace on the west wall. The second floor is divided into two bedrooms, with the eastern chamber featuring a shot hole below the window in the south wall covering the entrance below.
The spiral staircase continues all the way up to the parapet level, where it gives access to a crenelated parapet walk supported on corbels. Within the walkway rises an attic level with crowstepped gables, the doorway of which is on the east side of the walkway.
Also accessed from the parapet is the caphouse on top of the stair tower. A smaller spiral staircase climbs up within the thickness of the north wall of the stair tower, and into the caphouse. The caphouse is floored with stone, supported by a vaulted stairhead below, and has a vaulted ceiling supporting a stone roof.
It seems possible that this stair tower was added to the old tower house in 1569, as a carved stone lintel carries that date, the initials AH and KF for Andrew Heiton and his wife Kate Fisher, and IHS signifying Iesus Hominum Salvator, or Jesus the Saviour of Man. A carved panel high on the south wall of the stair tower shows the arms of the Heiton family.
The Fishers of Darnick are said to have been responsible for building Fisher's Tower at the bottom of the garden of Darnick Tower. These were two of the three castles in the village of Darnick, the third being the now gone Little Peel.
The property is surrounded by a high wall, in the south side of which is a large arched entrance.
Little mention seems to be made of Darnick Tower through the 17th and 18th centuries, although it is known to have still been owned by the Heiton family during this time.
Another Andrew Heiton, an architect from Perth, inherited Darnick Tower in 1865, and set about restoring it over the following two years. In 1869 a new wing was added to the east side of the main tower, consisting of two storeys and an attic in a gabled roof.
As late as 1986 Darnick Tower was still owned by the Heiton family, although I'm not sure if that is still the case as it was apparently run as a museum and a guest house before returning to use as a private residence.

Schneider Scores Career High on Senior Day
Haley Schneider scored a career-high 14 points on Saturday.
March 1, 2014
LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech senior Haley Schneider had the perfect senior script written in her head for Saturday and nearly put together the perfect performance to match it.
Schneider scored a career-high 14 points and seven blocks in her final home game at Tech but the Lady Raiders couldn't close the gap in the final seconds of a 67-64 loss to Texas.
Shauntal Nobles and Schneider were honored after the game as Tech's lone seniors for the 2013-14 season and said they nearly had the ending they wanted.
"This game was going to be bittersweet regardless, just because it's my last home game," Schneider said. "Really wish we could have gotten a win but it's nice that me and Shauny had a good performance. I'm really proud of Shauny and happy to be going out with someone like her."
Amber Battle and Ivonne CookTaylor each added 14 points for the Lady Raiders.
Tech (6-22, 0-17 Big 12) traded leads 14 times with Texas (19-10, 10-7) and took as much as a four-point lead midway through the first half and even had a chance to take the lead before halftime when Battle was fouled on a 3-point shot with seven seconds to go and trailing by two.
Battle would make only 1 of 3 to give Texas a 28-27 lead at the break.
The Longhorns relied heavily on the inside play of Nneka Enemkpali and Imani McGee-Stafford, who combined for 37 points and 17 rebounds. The two helped Texas on a 9-2 run in the second half to take a 55-45 lead with nine minutes remaining.
Tech then went on a 10-2 run of its own over the next four and half minutes to cut the Horns' lead to with 3:47 to play.
"(I told them) That we can do this," Tech head coach Candi Whitaker said, referring to the timeout at that time in the game. "We can finish this. Every possession is important, every defensive stand is important and that every blockout is important. We needed to tighten up that much more and be as mistake-free as possible.
"It felt good. There's been a couple of games that we've been close and the look in their eye hasn't been what it should. And today I believed that they could go get it done."
A three-point play by Battle pulled Tech within three points at 65-62 as the Lady Raiders held off Texas on its next two possessions and had a chance to get within one with 18 seconds to go. But the free throws would once again haunt Tech as Nobles missed a pair at the line and Enemkpali hit hers on the other end to seal the game for Texas.
"Like (Haley) said - it's really bittersweet," Nobles said. "I didn't think I was going to feel it this hard, but I am. I've had five years here - four playing - and I loved it. I'm leaving a lot behind and that's the toughest thing."
Nobles and Schneider will play at least two more games together. Tech plays its final regular season game at 7 p.m. Monday at Oklahoma (17-12, 8-8) before heading to the Big 12 Conference Tournament on Thursday. The Lady Raiders will be the No. 10 seed in the tournament and will face the No. 7 seed at 8:30 p.m. Friday at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.

One may think that their significant partner or children are being faithful but that might not be the case. Perhaps no one is sneaking out a window to fool around with a romantic interest but they could be stepping out by being financially untrue. According to the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) a survey has shown that couples have experienced serious relationship problems caused by financial infidelity.
Hiding purchases, bank accounts and cash have hurt many relationships.
According to a January 2014 Harris Poll survey on behalf of NEFE "The survey finds that three in 10 adults who have combined finances have hidden either a purchase, bank account, statement, bill, or cash from their partner or spouse. And 13 percent said they have committed more severe deceptions, like lying about the amount of debt that they owe or even the amount of income that they earn."
Couples need to work together on their financial fidelity just as they work on romance.
- People in a serious relationship need to be truthful with each other about all financial situations without fear of being judged.
- It is very important to express your money infidelities to a partner in order to rectify the situation and move on with the relationship.
Patricia Seaman, senior director with NEFE, stresses the importance of rebuilding trust by getting on the same page. Seaman suggests that people be truthful by stating the following, "I've done some spending you don't know about and I want to make sure we get on the same page and create goals today that we can stick to."
It is very important for children to learn the importance of financial fidelity as well.
Young children often hide purchases they know they will get in trouble for or are even told to hide gifts given by competing parents. Older children and young adults heading into college or the real world are often tossed into life not understanding the importance of how to allocate funds for needed living expenses and can easily get themselves into a financial trap with first credit cards.
Smart About Money comes to the rescue to help people of all ages to get on the right financial track.
NEFE is a nonprofit national foundation "Dedicated to inspiring empowered financial decision making for individuals and families through every stage of life." Creating smartaboutmoney.org is NEFE's gift to help people in all situations and periods in life learn how to be fiscally faithful.

Lower Your Cholesterol Naturally
Adapted from the revised version of Dr. Fuhrman's book Cholesterol Protection for Life, now available!
There are literally hundreds of respected scientific studies that demonstrate that as animal products increase in a population's diet, cholesterol levels soar and the occurrence of heart disease increases proportionally with the increase in animal product intake.1 Saturated fat is the element of the modern diet that shows the most powerful association in these medical research studies with high cholesterol and premature death from heart attacks.2
Though saturated fat is the most heart-disease-promoting substance in animal products, it is not merely saturated fat and cholesterol in animal products that is the problem. Animal protein raises cholesterol too. Those who cut out red meat and instead eat plenty of chicken and fish do not see substantial changes in their cholesterol levels or a profound reduction in cardiac events.3
If you are looking for maximum protection from heart disease, your diet must receive 90 to 100 percent of its calories from unrefined plant foods. If you choose to include a small amount of animal products in your diet, white meat chicken and white meat turkey are better choices, but if you have more than one or two servings a week, you are not going to see optimal results. One serving of a non-polluted fish a week, and one serving of white meat fowl is the maximum amount of animal products permitted. Any more than that will prevent the huge drop in cholesterol level and heart disease risk observed from eating a plant-based diet style.
Books touting the benefits of high-protein diets for weight-loss are very popular because they appeal to the many Americans who are looking to maintain their addiction to high-fat, nutrient-inadequate, animal foods. These consumers form a huge market for such topsy-turvy, scientific-sounding quackery. All animal products are severely deficient in fiber, phytochemicals, and antioxidants--and contain too much saturated fat, cholesterol, and arachadonic acid.
As animal product consumption goes up in a country or population, so does heart attacks; as animal product utilization goes down, so does heart attacks. One cannot prevent or reverse heart disease while one continues to consume significant amounts of animal foods.
In some countries, such as Mozambique, the Fiji Islands, and Guatemala, where few refined foods are eaten and animal products account for less than 10% of the calories consumed, their populations are virtually free from heart disease.
Guidelines to lower your cholesterol naturally that can save your life
Restrict or eliminate animal products: A few ounces of white meat turkey, once a week and a small piece of fish once a week is the maximum one should consume if seriously looking for cardiac reversal or protection and only these animal products, low in saturated fat should be eaten. If eating animal products, only eat 4-6 ounces of white meat turkey or white meat chicken per week, using them as a condiment in soups or a vegetable dish or sandwich. Low mercury fish such as tilapia, flounder, sole or scrod are also permitted in the range of 4-8 ounces per week. Non-fat dairy or an egg white omelet may also be consumed once per week.
Eliminate all processed grains and sweeteners: No white flour, white rice, processed breakfast cereals, sugar or other sweeteners. Instead, use one serving of whole grains daily such as brown rice, millet amaranth, oats, and barley. If using pasta occasionally, use whole wheat, bean or lentil pasta, not white flour pasta.
Do not use oil: Instead, use nuts and avocado to flavor dressings and sauces. Oil is a high calorie food, with the vast majority of nutrients lost. In comparison, the use of raw nuts and seeds such as flax, walnuts, and sunflower seeds have shown remarkable protective effects for both heart disease and cancer. When you consume your fat in nature's protective package, (nuts and seeds) in place of extracted oils, you get the lignins and flavonoids and other valuable nutrients that support excellent health.
For example, flax seed oil is also oil and just like other oils it contains 120 calories per tablespoon. Ground flax seeds contain lignans, flavonoids beneficial fibers, sterols and a host of other beneficial substances and only has 30 calories per tablespoon. Eat the food not the extracted oil. Excessive amounts of oil are not favorable. Even too much of the benefical oil in flax is linked to higher rates of prostate cancer.4

A California power station at San Jose was attacked on April 16, 2013, but the incident has not raised the nation's hackles until now. A Feb. 5 NewsMax report describes a secret briefing about the attack to members of Congress, the White House and several federal agencies. The briefing came from then Federal Energy Regulatory Commission chair Jon Wellinghoff.
Wellinghoff said last year that the attack was "the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that has ever occurred."
A Feb. 5 Wall Street Journal report broke the news of the secret briefing and the earliest concerns about a major terrorist threat.
This threat sneaks up on the U.S. because officials were focused on computer hacking and not on protecting physical plants from relatively low-tech attacks.
The FBI continues to sift through the evidence from last year's power station attack and has never found the culprits. The FBA disagreed with Wellinghoff and does not agree the act was the work of a terrorist organization.
The incident occurred at the AT&T Metcalf facility, beginning with a break in at a separate vault that was located a short distance away. Individuals accessed the underground vault and slashed some fiber-optic telecommunications cables.
A few minutes later, someone fired at the Metcalf facility itself. From outside the facility, they fired AK-47 rifles in an attempt to damage the oil-filled cooling systems. Several AK-47 bullet casings,wiped clean of fingerprints, were found at the scene. The perpetrators disappeared and were never found. Security cameras failed to capture any images of the attackers because the cameras were all directed at points inside the facility.
The first official assessments added a layer of confusion. The attack was first thought to be vandalism, but was later judged to be a professional operation.
The damage put the facility out of business for a total of 27 days. This brings up ideas of similar threats to about 2,000 other major transformers in the U.S. Worse, there could be one concerted attack on multiple facilities, each of which could take a month or longer to repair.
Also, as Sen. Henry Waxman (D,Ca) warns, there has been little effort to create a centralized authority who could manage command, control and communications in the event of a major attack on multiple facilities or on the nation's power grid in general.
