Hey DRA, I am wanting to tune up my fingerstyle single note playing.
Jazz guys I have studied with either use pick and fingers, or if they
pick with just fingers, will use thumb and middle finger for single
notes, which I find awkward. I did study classical for a couple of
years in the mid 80's and I tend to want to use index & middle, but my
technique is lacking. Do you have any such exercises on your site that
would get me up to speed? What specifically would you recommend?
This is about steel string acoustic: I sometimes use index and middle with
the apoyando technique on the three high strings to get emphasis, and
because I like to keep my thumb hovering over the three bass strings. I also
use thumb and index, especially on the lower strings, but I admit I'm not
very good at this singe note stuff compared with a decent flatpicker. I also
would appreciate some advice on improving my technique.
Another trick I use, but don't practice enough, is the flamenco/latin trick
of catching the notes with the nails on the back stroke off a plucked note,
to get fast triplets and the like. (I also do rascuedos the same way.) If I
could combine this with fast left hand technique, I could do some fairly
spectacular single note runs. Unfortunately I don't have the necessary left
hand skills.

Kew Palace: The Official Illustrated History
Law Building, Lower Level
1001 Bissonnet
Presented by Lee Prosser, coauthor of "Kew Palace: The Official Illustrated History" and curator, Historic Royal Palaces
When the future King George III (then Prince of Wales) turned 21 in 1759, he gave a banquet, and the shopping list survives: macaroni, parmesan cheese, bottled mineral water, mangoes, and a host of "modern" food that confounds today's impressions of 18th-century eating. Amazingly, the kitchen in which all this food was prepared survives at Kew Palace as the best-preserved example of its period anywhere in Great Britain. The building was abandoned on the death of Queen Charlotte in 1818 and remained forgotten until 2004. Research in preparing for the building's grand reopening has revealed what the kings ate, and just how the 18th century saw the birth of modern cooking and dining. Questions? E-mail email@example.com

Earlier this month, FX Network released the first teaser for Season 7 of "Sons of Anarchy." It that trailer, we saw Jax (Charlie Hunnam) riding his bike down a deserted highway a t night, alone. As he drove in and out of the glow of the streetlights, his face alternated from his own to that of a skull, causing many to speculate that SAMCRO's leader might not survive this last season. Another FX teaser was released on YouTube on Thursday that plays with this same theme.
In this teaser, titled "Night Sky", Jax stops the bike and dismounts. In the background, the sound of a helicopter can be heard. Its searchlight sweeps toward him and as it plays back and forth across his face, it again changes from him to that of a skull.
Is the network really foreshadowing the death of Jax as so many media outlets are predicating? Could there be another interpretation?
Anyone who watched the Season 6 finale saw the devastation Jax felt as he cradled the dead body of his murdered wife, Tara. There isn't a fan of the show who doesn't know that Season 7 is going to be all about Jax finding out who killed her and exacting his revenge.
Given all the hype about how this is going to be the grisliest season to date and that very few characters may be left standing when it's all over with, there may be another explanation. Perhaps the teasers are trying to tell us that Jax will be taking on the role of the Grim Reaper. Could Jax be responsible for the predicted death tolls? Whatever the meaning, one thing is clear; it's going to be intense.
"Sons of Anarchy" Season 7 will air on Sept 9 on FX. Check back often for more news, updates and spoilers.

Atlas Shrugged
by Ayn Rand
Atlas Shrugged Volume 2, Chapter 5 Summary
Account Overdrawn
- Since Hank didn't get his copper he couldn't get Taggart Transcontinental the Rearden Metal it needed. Oops.
- We get a long rundown of how bad things are in the country: there are shortages everywhere, businesses are failing all over the place, people are poor and desperate, and the government is acting like things are fine while getting increasingly repressive.
- We get some examples of the type of damaging rhetoric the looters use, too: professors tell people not to think, religious leaders rant about how people are sinful and totally had all this coming. Industrial accidents are more frequent. Bridges and buildings are condemned, and the only bridge left going over the Mississippi is the Taggart Bridge. New York makes everyone move to the lower levels of skyscrapers to save money on power. Ragnar is increasing his pirate raids.
- It's February 15. Hank is meeting with some guys who are illegally operating a coal mine and doing black market dealings.
- Dagny is meeting with the Taggart Transcontinental Board of Directors.
- A Mr. Weatherby is there, from Washington.
- The board is discussing who's in power in Washington and which factions they need to appeal to in order to get deals for the railroad.
- The meeting is about closing the John Galt Line. They can no longer afford to operate it.
- Dagny calls them all out and says she won't cooperate with them and she won't make the decision for them. She's going to abstain from voting so they'll have to make a decision themselves for once. It's fitting, since she warned them this would happen, and it's their own fault the railroad is in dire straights and the John Galt Line has to close.
- The Board talks in circles for ages and finally someone gives the order to close the John Galt Line.
- Dagny is devastated. She thinks of Nat Taggart and understands how he must have felt when he was struggling to finish his bridge across the Mississippi and didn't think he'd be able to do it.
- On her way out of the building, she runs into Francisco.
- He takes her to dinner.
- She's not sure why he's being so nice to her now.
- They talk about Dagny's feelings, and she brings up Nat Taggart. She thinks Nat wouldn't have survived the looters.
- Francisco tries to get Dagny to see that she shouldn't cooperate with the looters and do things like build them nice railroads, but Dagny isn't having it.
- They start talking about their ancestors, and Francisco tells us the story of Sebastián d'Anconia, who came to Argentina from Spain. Sebastián waited fifteen years to be with the woman he loved, and when they were finally united, Sebastián knew his battle was over.
- Dagny finds this story suspicious and wonders if Francisco is hinting about her, but then she brushes the thought aside.
- She then randomly brings up Hank. Well, it seems random to Francisco at least.
- She asks what he did to Hank, since Hank won't tell her.
- He brushes her off and says he'll take her home.
- But then he offers to tell her who John Galt is! OK, let's have it.
- John Galt is (drumroll) Prometheus who changed his mind! What?
- Historical Lesson! You can read more about this in John Galt's "Character Analysis," but basically Prometheus, in Greek myth, stole fire from the gods to give to mankind. His punishment was to be chained to a rock so that vultures could eat him all day – for eternity. (Those gods were mean.) Francisco is using the myth as an analogy, but he says that mankind is punishing Prometheus, so Prometheus took back his fire and other "gifts of civilization."
- So now John Galt is an eternally youthful, sea-dwelling Greek god who moonlights as a "second assistant bookkeeper" (to Dr. Stadler). Good grief.
- Scene cut. Six weeks later, Hank and Dagny are in Colorado. The John Galt Line is closing today and they want to take the last train out of Colorado.
- Colorado is a shadow of its former self, and panicky people are trying to get on the last train out so they won't be trapped there. It's all very depressing.
- Scene cut. Lillian and James are having lunch, talking in circles trying to one-up each other.
- They complain about Hank and Dagny, and Lillian hints that she'd appreciate James's help sticking it to Hank.
- Later Lillian calls to have some flowers sent to Hank as a slap in the face rather than a sweet gesture.
- But she learns that he's not on the train back to New York and cancels the order.
- She calls Miss Ives to confirm it, and Miss Ives says that's a mistake, Hank is on the Taggart Comet coming back.
- Lillian realizes he's riding under an assumed name.
- Scene cut. Lillian goes to meet Hank's train at the Taggart terminal.
- She wants to see him with his mistress, but only sees him walking alone. She's disappointed.
- But then she sees Dagny exit the car he was in and finally realizes who his mistress is. She is dismayed because she thought she could torment him for sleeping with a floozy. She doesn't know how to handle the Dagny thing.
- Lillian tries to act casual when she encounters them both.
- She and Hank to go his hotel and talk. Hank admits that Dagny is his mistress and says he won't stop seeing her. He tells Lillian she can have a divorce – he doesn't care.
- Out of spite, Lillian refuses to grant him a divorce, then rants about Dagny. He tells her to shut up.
- Lillian threatens him again and then leaves. For once, Hank feels guiltless and free.

Report Should Be Expanded To Cover Effectiveness
July 24, 2002
WASHINGTON The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) praised a report released today by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) which establishes a framework for evaluating the safety of dietary supplement ingredients.
This is the first systematic attempt in the United States to apply modern science, set priorities, and asses the safety of herbal medicines, hormones, animal products, and other supplement ingredients, CSPI director of legal affairs Bruce Silverglade said. The FDA should greatly increase its support of that project so that consumers can learn in a timely fashion which dietary supplement are safe and which should be avoided. The report should also be expanded to cover effectiveness, as well as safety of ingredients.

Wall Street's Latest Lie: The 'Great Rotation'
Ignoring the "Great Rotation" warning and buying bonds in February and March would have yielded 6% in less than a month.
In February and March, when Wall Street was busy talking about the "Great Rotation" and telling investors to get out of bonds and into stocks, my firm was providing reasons to actually be bullish on bonds.
We outlined some reasons we were bullish that can be found in an article I wrote on February 21,
Is the Great Rotation Theory a Myth?
, as well as a
follow-up published on March 13
But how and why did we recognize the opportunity to go long bonds when the majority of Wall Street was clamoring to sell bonds? For starters, by checking the facts, ignoring Wall Street, and utilizing some common sense.
The Great Rotation Myth
News headlines frequently provide us with clues as to what Wall Street is trying to sell Main Street, which in and of itself can often be a reason to do the opposite. (We don't use headlines as an exclusive indicator, however.)
The latest example was the Great Rotation that dominated late January and early February's news headlines.
Once the money flow data was released for January showing decade high mutual fund (MUTF:VFINX) and ETF (NYSEARCA:VTI) inflows, Wall Street went crazy with reports that the "great rotation" was in full swing as it justified buying equities (NYSEARCA:VT) at the expense of selling bonds (NYSEARCA:BOND).
Remember these headlines?
"Have we entered the Great Rotation?" – Charles Schwab, February 6, 2013
"Are we watching a Great Rotation into Stocks?" –
Magazine, January 28, 2013
"Trading the Market's 'Great Rotation" – MarketWatch, February 7, 2013
How about this for a headline: "They Were Wrong, as Usual" – ETFguide.com
There was indeed no great rotation occurring as we suggested in our article from February 21. We stated, "The facts simply don't support such a scenario of recent rotation".
In reality, the great rotation has been out of stocks (NYSEARCA:IVV) and into bonds (NYSEARCA:TIP) as bonds have outperformed stocks significantly since February 1.
Another Reason: The Technicals
On March 20, we published the following chart of the
iShares 20+ year Bond Fund
(NYSEARCA:TLT) which helped us get bullish on bonds in early March.
Source: ETFguide.com
Each time in recent history when bond prices made a new price high or price low accompanied by a volume spike, they typically reversed their trend (as identified at the bottom of the chart).
Combining this technical backdrop with the fundamental and sentiment analysis we outlined on February 15 helped us get comfortable picking a bottom on bonds as we suggested on March 10: "Given the positive divergence and volume spike low, aggressive traders can go long here with a tight stop below Friday's low of $114.62."
That stop was never in trouble as bonds immediately reversed their trend and rallied to $122.
Where Do Bonds Stand Now?
After rallying 6% since those long suggestions, iShares 20+ year Bond Fund was again accompanied by a large volume spike along with a few negative technical signals. We suggested for traders to take some profits on April 3 and longer term holders to also cash out on April 7, which accompanied the following chart showing another volume spike warning after a huge move up.
Source: ETFguide.com
We followed up our advice by writing: "Shorter term traders again may want to take some profits off the table with such an outlier of a move Friday. Now accompanying the rally is an overbought RSI as well as another volume spike (see chart) which may mark a short term top here."
After rallying 6% in under a month, it was a great trade and time to realize profits. Bonds have since given back some of their gains. Will the uptrend re-continue? What will be the next short term signal to go long?
Ignoring Wall Street's rhetoric and focusing on the facts that mattered most helped us identify a high probability trading opportunity as the Great Rotation out of bonds turned out to be the great fake rotation.

Polling the Experts 2012
A GlobeScan / SustainAbility Survey and part of Rate the Raters, Phase Five
In May of 2010, we launched a multi-phase research program entitled Rate the Raters, which aimed to shed light on the universe of corporate sustainability ratings and to influence and improve their quality and transparency.
In the fourth phase of Rate the Raters we put forth our vision for ratings in the future, which called for competition on analysis rather than data collection, greater focus on material issues and impacts, and improved transparency.
A year on we believe there remain a number of important, unanswered questions, for example around how ratings are being used by sustainability professionals and investors, and we embarked on a new fifth phase to explore these issues.
The first of four deliverables from Rate the Raters, Phase V is a GlobeScan / SustainAbility survey of how sustainability experts view and use corporate sustainability ratings. Similar to a survey that we conducted in 2010, we polled 850 people from over 70 countries, across multiple sectors, who have worked on sustainability matters for at least three years (in fact, over 60% of these respondents have 10 or more years of sustainability experience).
Watch the video for the full survey results, and please join the debate by commenting below or sharing your views on Twitter (#RatetheRaters).

Board Meeting
Ninety Six Elementary School Math Initiative Program: Math PACT scores are rising slowly or not at all. The Math and Science unit of the SC Department of Education developed the Coaching Initiative program to improve these scores. The coach for the Ninety Six Elementary School was Donna Gunderson. The vision statement is to become a community of learners joined in a partnership committed to a higher level of student achievement in mathematics. The mission of the Math Coach Initiative is to improve mathematics instruction and student performance through a collaborative partnership between the math coach and the elementary school faculty and staff. The goal is to implement a school-wide math curriculum that meets both the challenge of state standards and the characteristics of exemplary programs by using the process standards to teach the content standards, commit to a school wide curriculum sequence, and to implement the Math Out of the Box strands as they are developed. An on-going professional development program was developed to further mathematical pedagogy and content knowledge. Assessment strategies to reflect on student understanding and classroom instruction were developed. A school-wide instructional material support system was maintained. An awareness of the Math Coach Initiative for the educational community was developed. After three years of this program all three grade levels' scores have improved on the math PACT test.
McMillan, Smith & Associates: The architectural firm is seeking input from the Board of Trustees on the next step for building a new high school. The board is in agreement on the general footprint of the building plan, but is interested in seeking ways to cut cost and stay within the guidelines of the state standards. It is suggest, at this time, the architectural firm begin meeting with the high school administration, faculty and staff for to receive their input of needs for a new facility.
Ross, Sinclair presentation: Mr. Puthoff began this segment by stating the property tax relief legislation is set for passage and within this legislation is a component dealing with the installment purchase method of financing schools. The district has looked at this method, formally called the Greenville Model. A representative from Ross, Sinclair is available to discuss the installment purchase method along with Theo DuBose, Bond Counselor.
The intent is to come up with the optimal financial method for building a new facility. There are basically two options (1) a referendum and (2) installment revenue bonds. A referendum is asking voters to approve the issuance of money in bonds for the building project. The installment plan allows the school district to form a partnership with a non-profit corporation that will issue bonds on behalf of the school district. The school district then purchases the facility from the non-profit corporation incrementally over a period of approximately 24 years. If the installment plan is to be the financing method for this project, the process must be begun by September in order to have a contract signed before December 31st.

On June 13 the top tech news stories were all about IBM, with ZDNet reporting that Jeff Smith was quitting his job as Suncorp tech head and going to work for the global tech giant and eWeek reporting that IBM is making cities smarter by helping them better manage infrastructure through tools and resources they provide.
The Atlanta Top News Examiner decided it was the perfect time to chat with a top IT expert and business owner in Atlanta in order to provide readers with information about how they can stay abreast of the changing technologies and tech services currently on the market, too. And what better person to talk to than someone who lists IBM as one of their clients?
SteelPivot owner and CEO Richard Campbell boasts a lot of big name clients in addition to IBM, like AT&T, Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Army, to name a few. But this consulting, training and staffing company also offers the same services to many other corporations and government agencies in regards to Linux, Cisco and other computer technology needs.
Headquartered in Atlanta, Ga. at the Peachtree Center's South Tower, the 19th floor offices offer an expansive view of downtown Atlanta while Linux and Cisco Network Engineers help clients and training attendees meet technology career and business goals in a production environment. And this was where this Examiner first met Richard Campbell.
I see that IBM is a client of yours, Richard. They were mentioned in Forbes on June 11 for rolling out a federal government cloud infrastructure. Is SteelPivot playing a role in that rollout in any way?
"No. IBM hired us to do training for their Linux engineers working out of Missouri. We were not part of the project recently announced."
In that case, Richard, can you give readers an idea of what tech work goes on at Steel Pivot?
"We have been very successful by focusing on the design, implementation, training and long term support of Linux, Open Source and Cisco technologies for the past five years. However, the pending release of our Network Infrastructure Cloud (NIC) platform is going to be a game changer by revolutionizing the provisioning, management and troubleshooting of branch and retail networks."
What do you mean when you say branch and retail networks?
"I mean remote locations that are part of the same company or group. For example, someone might own five Subway sandwich shops and needs them to be connected together and provide services (telephone, internet, connecting the POS--Point of Sale/Cash Registers) systems together. Or, maybe an insurance agent might have five local State Farm offices that need to be connected together so they can operate seamlessly."
You said that your NIC platform utilizes broadband Internet connectivity to securely connect remote sites, reduce operating costs, provide advance telephony services and enable zero-touch deployment. Will the NIC platform also be utilized for all types of customers, like government entities (e.g. colleges in Georgia)?
"Yes, it is designed to scale from a small operation of say 3-5 locations to over 5,000. The largest client using it today has 1,500 locations across the US and EU. Our market includes government, corporate and non-profits."
I want to make sure I am on the same page with you regarding tech terms like telephony services, so please tell me what advanced telephony services your NIC platform will offer.
"Telephony services is essentially what you get from the phone company, but with much more advanced capabilities. Typically, companies have to install expensive "PBX" systems to get advance capabilities in their offices. Things like an auto attendant (the automated voice that answers the phone -- press 1 for sales, 2 for support, 3 for directions, etc.), call transfers, phone extensions and such. Also, if they want to integrate these services into their existing business software it is typically too expensive to do."
So your NIC platform would provide these same services, but at a less expensive cost to clients, then. But is there more to telephony services?
"Yes. They may want to be able to click a phone number in their browser and call the client automatically, or have the client record pop up in the insurance office when they call in. Our system provides all of these advanced telephony services in a simple, easy to install and manage system that requires no complex configuration."
What about the "zero-touch deployment" you mention regarding the NIC platform?
"Zero-touch deployments basically means you can ship the device to a remote location and have the local staff install it without requiring any pre-configuration by your IT staff. This drastically reduces the amount of time to setup a location and all but eliminates the mistakes that come from mis-configuration."
SteelPivot CEO Richard Campbell appears to know exactly what the IT community is looking for as evidenced by his last comment, as what employee in that field hasn't felt the burden of meeting an already potentially unrealistic time objective by having to configure or re-configure a new product for implementation into their own system?
And it also appears that SteelPivot's client IBM is also remaining on the cutting edge of technology, as evidenced by their recent announcement reported in CIO Today about Big Blue claiming their new Power Systems can operate at "industry leading" levels now.

First let me point out what the Quota is on your email system. There is a mechanism that Bluehost doesn't use/doesn't know how to use or is broken. I got several responses from them stating one or the other.
The quota utility is suppose to Reset every month/period/periodically. This is a limit YOU set for your people to limit the amount of mail they receive so they aren't overwhelmed with data/email. You can set it to about however much you want OR (here is the kicker) set it to 0 to disable.
The problem here is that the quota system keeps building every email you receive takes away from that credit until you get a message. Since it doesn't reset, you call, they tell you that you must delete some message (and it is empty) or delete a file because it is reporting incorrectly.
If you get the message, just set the amount to 0 and send a letter to BH telling them to fix the quota system.
This was in response to several older threads that weren't answered correctly. I searched and didn't find a solution myself.

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. - Washington captured every men's trophy for the first time in 11 years and the Husky women's varsity four also won its conference title, Sunday at the Pac-10 Rowing Championships on Lake Natoma.
The top-ranked Huskies captured back-to-back men's varsity eight championships for the first time since 2003-04 with a thrilling come-from-behind victory over No. 8 California. That win capped UW's first sweep of all four men's events since the 1997 season.
First-year Husky men's head coach Michael Callahan was aware of the potential for a team sweep going into the final event, the varsity eight race.
"That's what made that last race even more and more exciting for us," he exclaimed. "I couldn't be prouder of them. We're deep, top-to-bottom, and we knew we could do something really special if everyone performed. We put a lot of responsibility on each guy to do their job and they did it. It feels really good."
Washington men's crews were also victorious in the second varsity eight, freshman eight and varsity four competitions. Those four triumphs pushed the Huskies' team total to 72 points, giving them the overall men's championship for the second straight season.
California was the last team to register a sweep of Pac-10 men's trophies, accomplishing the feat in 2006. The Golden Bears were runners-up in every men's race Sunday, placing second in the team standings with 63 points. Stanford posted a third-place total of 42 points, followed by Oregon State in fourth (42), UCLA in fifth (34), Washington State in sixth (18), USC in seventh (13) and Oregon in eighth (4).
The varsity eight outcome came down to the wire. The Huskies were running second the entire race before overtaking Cal with 150 meters to row and holding on for the victory. UW covered the 2,000-meter course in 5-minutes, 52.1-seconds and Cal had a time of 5:53.4. Seventh-ranked Stanford placed third in 5:57.7, followed by No. 14 Oregon State in 6:06.8.
"I always saw them in the corner of my eye," described varsity stroke Will Crothers, one of four members of last year's championship crew still in the boat. "I just knew that if everybody stayed relaxed and we did what we know how to do, we could get it. I don't want to say doubt, but I was worried for a little bit. But then we just went for it."
The tense win extended UW's unbeaten streak to 16 races, dating to a fifth-place finish at the 2006 Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) Championships.
Junior coxswain Katelin Snyder has been in the boat for each of those 16 victories during the winning streak. She admitted the Huskies did not have their best race Sunday.
"For us to be able to pull out a win when we were maybe not rowing as well as we usually do, is really good for us," she said. "Our focus was just on rowing the whole 2k. So, it was important for our guys, even though we were behind with only 500 to go, to know that we still had the finish to take them over. As long as we stay in the race, I'm really confident in our strength."
The UW men conclude their 2008 campaign at the IRA Championships, June 5-7 on the Cooper River in Cherry Hill, N.J. The Husky varsity eight seeks to win consecutive national championships for the first time since 1940 and 1941.
Washington had a fourth-place total of 57 points in the women's standings. California tallied 79 points to win its fourth Pac-10 team title in the last five years. Stanford had a second-place total of 61 and Washington State was third with 59 points. Oregon State placed fifth with 51 points, USC was sixth (50) and UCLA finished seventh (35).
The Huskies placed fifth in the women's varsity eight race, fourth in the second varsity event and second among novice eights.
The UW women are on the bubble for the 12-team NCAA Championships field that is announced Tuesday. Three-time national champion Washington is one of only three schools, including Brown and Princeton, that have competed in all 11 championship regattas since the NCAA began sponsoring women's rowing in 1997.
The 2008 NCAA Regatta is scheduled for May 30-June 1 on Lake Natoma.
A bright spot for the UW women was the gold-medal performance of the varsity four that prevented a Cal sweep. The Husky four went wire-to-wire en route to an open-water win over he Bears and it's second consecutive Pac-10 title.
UW's winning time was 7:39.6 and Cal finished in 7:43.0.

Wyoming vs. UNLV FB, 10/27/07
Photos from the Wyoming Cowboys vs. the UNLV Rebels in Laramie, Oct. 27, 2007. Wyoming won 29-24.
UW This Season: John Fletcher will be one of the top defensive linemen in the Mountain West Conference and the nation in 2009. He has earned Second Team All-MWC honors each of the past two seasons, and was named to both the Outland Trophy and Rotary Lombardi Award Watch Lists during his junior season. He was voted one of four team captains entering his senior season. Fletcher ranks No. 10 on Wyoming's career sack list with 17.0 total sacks.
2008: For the second consecutive season, Fletcher earned Second Team All-Conference honors. He ranked No. 8 in the MWC in sacks as a junior with 4.5 on the season. Fletcher was a leader on a Wyoming defense that ranked No. 38 in the nation in total defense (329.7 ypg) and No. 31 in pass defense (189.5 ypg). Fletcher's top performances came against New Mexico (eight tackles and 1.0 tackle for a loss), at TCU (seven tackles and 1.0 TFL), versus San Diego State (six tackles, 2.0 sacks and one pass breakup) and versus Colorado State (six tackles). Against Bowling Green in Laramie, he made an impact in a number of different areas. He was credited with five tackles versus BGSU, and he also had 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and two pass breakups. Fletcher also had five tackles and one blocked kick at BYU and five tackles and 1.0 sack at UNLV. In the spring of 2008, he was one of only 70 individuals in the country named to the 2008 Outland Trophy Watch List, and was one of only three individuals in the Mountain West Conference to be named to the list.
2007: Fletcher had an outstanding sophomore season in 2007. He earned Second Team All-Mountain West Conference honors and ranked No. 11 in the nation in sacks, with 10.5. Fletcher was one of only seven sophomores in the Mountain West to earn First or Second Team All-Conference recognition in `07, and one of only two sophomores on defense to earn that honor. He recorded 10.5 sacks to rank No. 2 in the MWC and No. 11 in the NCAA. His 14.0 tackles for losses were fifth best in the conference and ranked 52nd in the nation. He led Wyoming in both categories. His 60 total tackles ranked him sixth on the Cowboy squad, and fourth best among defensive lineman in the MWC in 2007. He started all 12 games at defensive tackle.
2006: Fletcher played in the first nine games of `06, before being forced to sit out the final three games due to a fractured finger and subsequent infection in his right hand. He was credited with nine tackles, including three tackles for losses and two sacks as a redshirt freshman defensive tackle. At the conclusion of 2006 spring practice, Fletcher had earned the No. 2 position on the depth chart at defensive tackle behind senior Mike Groover. Earned his first varsity letter.
2005: Redshirted. He came to Wyoming as a grayshirt, enrolling at UW in January of 2005 after being part of Wyoming's signing class in February of 2004. He participated in spring drills with the Cowboys in the spring of 2005, and earned his way onto the depth chart -- being listed No. 4 at the buck position (defensive end) entering the 2005 season.
High School: Following his senior season of 2003, Fletcher was named First Team All-Colorado for all classifications at linebacker by the Rocky Mountain News and was a First Team All Class 4A selection by both the Rocky Mountain News and The Denver Post.

Quick question. I can't change gear with a shifter, I suppose the gear cable might be an explanation. I don't have skills to repair that myself. It's stuck in high gear and I just want to lower it. Is there a possiblity to change gear manually? If yes, how?

Very generally speaking, the hub is operated by a cable that pulls on a rod sticking out of the center of the hub. If you can figure out what adjustment makes that rod go in and out you can change the gear (assuming it's not the hub itself that is frozen and not allowing a gear change). But you need to get the adjustment right, since, for some hub styles, being "between" gears is bad.

LG Nexus 5 shows up in Google's Android KitKat statue unveiling video
Despite Google not commenting on it, there is little doubt that Nexus 5 smartphone is coming later this year, with Android 4.4 KitKat on board.
Every major Android release had its own Nexus, and there's very little reason for Google to change that. What we do not know for sure yet, is who will make the new Nexus, how it will look, what the specs and price of the device will be.
Two rumored contenders for Nexus 5 OEM are LG and Motorola. And today, with the first glimpse of the device, LG seems to be the more likely one.
The picture above is a screengrab from the Android KitKat statue unveiling video at Google's headquarters, from earlier today. It shows yet unseen smartphone with Nexus inscription, big camera lens and, possibly, LG logo on the back. The video has been made private by Google when first reports about Nexus 5 in it surfaced, lending even more credence to the Nexus 5 speculation.
The latest rumors for LG's Nexus 5 have it with Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 or 800 CPU, 5.2" 1080p Full HD display, 13 megapixel camera, and possible $299 starting price for a 8GB model.
Google Nexus 5 with Android 4.4 KitKat on board should launch sometime in the first part of Q4.

I've been debating getting a panini press for quite some time. I love grilled panini sandwiches, but I was hesitant to have an appliance taking up space in my kitchen when it just did that one thing. Then I discovered the T-Fal Optigrill. Not only does it make fabulous grilled sandwiches, I can also use it for grilling meat, veggies, and seafood. And let me tell you, it makes one incredible grilled cheese sandwich.
This amazing sandwich has four kinds of cheese! There's cheese on the inside and the outside! And even with cheese on the outside, the sandwiches didn't stick to the grill, and everything was easy to clean. That's just one of the many things I love about the T-Fal Optigrill. These are some of the Optigrill's other great features:
- Sensor cooking automatically adapts to the thickness of foods
- 6 Automatic cooking programs
- Frozen Food function to defrost and cook all types of food
- Manual cooking function for grilling fruits and vegetables or personal recipes
- Die-cast aluminum plates with non-stick coating
- Extra large removable drip tray
- Angled plates for easy fat release
- Easy to clean – dishwasher safe removable plates and drip tray
- Brushed stainless steel housing
One of my favorite features of this grill is the cooking indicator light. It changes from yellow to red to signify the level of doneness, and the grill beeps to alert you when your food is at rare, medium and well-done. Everything I've made it in has turned out just perfectly, from panini and grilled cheese, to meat and grilled potatoes. This thing makes some incredible grilled potatoes!
And I've got great news! I'm giving away a T-Fal Optigrill to one lucky Let's Dish reader! You are going to love this versatile indoor grill!

Of course, you probably want the recipe for that ultimate four-cheese grilled cheese sandwich too.
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon finely grated Parmesan cheese, melted
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Pinch of black pepper
- 4 slices crusty bread (1/2 inch thick)
- 4 sliced Cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- In a small bowl,, whisk together the melted butter, parsley, Parmesan cheese, garlic and pepper.
- Brush the butter mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
- Place a slice of Cheddar on the unbuttered side of two of the pieces of bread.
- In a small bowl, toss together the shredded Mozzarella and Gruyere. Sprinkle over the Cheddar.
- Top the shredded cheese with a second slice of Cheddar. Top the sandwiches with the two remaining pieces of bread, buttered side out.
- Turn on the grill, select the sandwich program and press OK. When the purple indicator light stops flashing, place the sandwiches on the grill and close the lid.
- Cook until the indicator light has turned red, or until the cheese has melted and the bread is toasted.
You can purchase the OptiGrill at your local Walmart, and be sure to check out their Facebook page for more great recipe ideas.

James Carlini of Wisconsin Technology News wrote a column about Michigan Avenue, saying it's full of "land sharks."
Carlini visited the city a couple weeks ago and said he noticed gangs of juveniles roaming and searching for prey.
I pulled a report from the Chicago Police Department's ClearMap, which showed a total of 84 incidents on the streets of the 42nd Ward - including seven on Michigan Avenue - from Aug. 3 through Aug. 16, 2010. These included pick-pocketing, larceny, disorderly conduct and simple battery.
I frequent Michigan Avenue and have never had a problem or seen suspicious activity. I'm mostly on the street during the weekday when it's light out, but I have been on it numerous times on the weekend and after-dark.
Do you think crime on Michigan Avenue, and specifically juveniles preying on tourists, is a problem? And if so, what do you think needs to be done? Do you have tips for tourists?
If you are a resident of Chicago, I encourage you to visit the CPD's CLEARpath website, which aims to link the department and the community. You can sign up for community crime alerts and daily news alerts, as well.

Google Maps with Street View now available on Nokia S60 and Windows Mobile phones
The iPhone has it. And so do BlackBerry smartphones. But now, Google has officially announced the availability of Google Maps with Street View for Nokia S60 and Windows Mobile phones.
This is in line with the Google Street View Team's recent international escapades to take photos of places in France, Italy, Spain, and Australia. Nokia S60 and Windows Mobile devices are pretty popular there, so they've decided to release it for both platforms in the latest version of Google Maps for Mobile.
Keep in mind that Google Street View currently only works in select destinations. And here's a quick refresher:
Street View lets you access street level imagery to help orient yourself when looking for places, businesses, or getting directions. Say you're going to meet with friends at an unfamiliar restaurant. Now you can search for it in Google Maps for mobile, click on "Street View", and see what the place and surrounding area look like. Similarly, say you need to get to a shop in a part of town you don't know. Find it using your phone, get directions to it, and see how to get there with full-screen panorama images of every step along the way.
Google has also added a few extra features to the new version of Google Maps for Mobile, which are, "request walking directions (in addition to driving and public transit) to get anywhere on foot, receive transit alerts from participating public transportation authorities, and see what other people think of a place by reading reviews directly on your phone." The entire user interface has also been overhauled to make the app more responsive and easier to use.
Nokia S60 or Windows Mobile smartphone owners eager to take this for a spin can go to google.com/gmm on their phone's browsers to download.

Easy Veal Crock Pot Roast
You don't have to be a genius to use a crock pot ( slow cooker) but the results are often spectacular. All the flavour stays in the pot. With this recipe, you can be a bit inventive with the ingredients, substituting different vegetables and also maybe use white wine instead of chicken stock.
We were able to get a milk fed veal shoulder roast, so the one thing to be mindful of is that it might not need 6 hours at low heat in a crock pot to be ready. You should first test it at 4 hours, as it is already a very tender meat it might fall apart if cooked too long making it impossible to cut slices.
Veal blade shoulder roasts should be braised to the "falling-off-the-bone" stage, which is 76°C
Ingredients: veal roast, about 2.5 lbs, vegetable oil, salt and pepper, sprig of Rosemary, carrots, fresh green french beans, red potatoes, onion, butter, plain flour, chicken stock.
Click her for link to Easy Veal Crock Pot Roast
Why use a Crock Pot? (Slow Cooker)
With today's fast pace life it can be very difficult to get the dinner on the table when you come home.There is a tendency to eat fast food which is not necessarily the most healthy for you.The crock pot ( slow cooker) can offer a good solution for this problem. See our Veal Crock Pot recipes
- Just add all the ingredients before you leave for work, when you may be feeling a little more ambitious and creative than at the end of the day.
- The crock pot doesn't heat up the kitchen as much other cooking methods as it is on very low heat.
- If you work away from home, the crock-pot is safe enough to leave turned on low all day. When you get home, most of your dinner is cooked and ready to eat!.
Veal Sirloin Roast with Braised Vegetables
Veal Sirloin is sometimes referred to as veal rump, but do not use shoulder. If the sirloin is unavailable, the best substitute is veal tenderloin treated the same way but only roasted for 12-15 minutes.
For the braised vegetables, use your favourite vegetables but try to include leeks as they ore excellent with veal. You could include parsnips, golden beets, sweet potatoes or even squash.

Chronic pain management remains one of the most serious public health problems. We use an array of molecular biological and genetic techniques, combined with patch-clamp recordings and fluorescent imaging of intracellular Ca2+, Na+ and pH changes in pain-conducting neurons (called nociceptors), as well as behavioral studies to address two broad sets of questions related to chronic pain pathogenesis. The first set of questions focuses on relatively rapid changes to nociceptor excitability and synaptic transmission that are induced by proinflammatory mediators generated by immune and glial cells at the site of injury or inflammation, and mediated via phosphorylation of so-called pain channels, including TRPV1, TRPA1 and voltage-gated Na+ channels Nav1.7, 1.8 and 1.9. We are particularly interested in the role of the complement system factors C3a and C5a in regulating nociceptor excitability and function. The second set of questions examines the long-term changes to the nociceptor molecular composition and function in response to injury or inflammation, and involves alterations in gene expression. We particularly focus on the Ca2+-dependent transcription factor NFAT that regulates expression of a number of proteins implicated in pain sensitization, such as COX-2, BDNF, chemokine receptor CCR2 and several voltage-gated K+ channels.
Another line of investigation focuses on the function of mitochondria in regulating neuronal plasticity and survival under conditions of stress or illness, such as hyperglycemia in diabetes or exposure to toxic concentrations of glutamate following ischemic stroke. In addition to generating energy, mitochondria play critical role in neuronal signaling, and particularly, in the regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis and Ca2+-dependent processes. Impaired mitochondrial Ca2+ regulation contributes to neuronal damage in stroke and neurodegenerative disorders. Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that can rapidly undergo fission and fusion, and the mitochondrial fission and fusion (MFF) balance can significantly impact dendritic and axonal morphogenesis, synaptic plasticity and neuronal survival. We use a multidisciplinary approach (electrophysiology, confocal microscopy, brain slice recordings, animal models of diabetes and stroke) to better understand regulatory mechanisms and function of mitochondrial Ca2+ transport in neurons, its dependence on the MFF status, and the role of mitochondrial Ca2+ and MFF in protecting neurons from glutamate toxicity as well as hyperglycemia-induced axonal degeneration.
