interview Sept 16, 2002. I forgot who it's for.
Ok, questions:
- How do you feel about the press and/or general reactions that Personal Journals got? I know that there seemed to be a generally positive response, but did you feel like the album succeeded, in terms of whatever goals you had for it, or any messages you were hoping to convey?
"I definitely accomplished what I needed to with Personal Journals. I do expect it to be popular for many years to come, but so far expectations have been exceeded. One thing I didn't like his how many critics insinuated that I was a spoken word artist doing a hiphop album. I figured they would get the hint that I am first and foremost a rapper by sprinking L'il Sage throughout Personal Journals. Plain and simple, I am a rapper...and that's not anything I'm bragging about. It's just the truth. I've been doing it since I was a little kid. Since then I've branched off into other artforms and tried my hand at them."
- What worked best about that album? What were you happiest with? Least happy with?
"All the content that needed to be inside it was there. The people reacted to it as expected. I included everyone on it who needed to be there. All the secret passageways and trap doors are placed in the proper places. The production was exactly what I wanted. I am very happy with the cover art and the fact that anticon let me do a booklet to accompany the cd. The distribution was on point. The songs could have been recorded and mixed a lot better, because I did most of it on equipment I am not familliar with. But fuck it. That's my personal touch of shittiness."
- In 15 words or less, everything about the upcoming non-prophets album.
"It's bi-polar. Hilarious and poignant material. VERY rappy...rhythmic ignorance mixed with poetic moments. BLAAAaaaaooOOOOWWW!"
- Sixtoo is to Joey Beats as _____ is to _______.
"Seka is to Asia Carera."
- Poetry-slam is to hip hop as _____ is to _______.
"bike is to a car"
- Live show is to recorded material as _______ is to ________.
"Sex is to masturbation"
- the Sick of Waiting series is to Personal Journals as _______ is to ________.
"highschool girlfriends are to Natalie Portman"
"fuck...you made me rack my brain with those analogies. That shit was not easy."
- Xaul Xan-- Slim Shady-esque alter-ego (I apologize for the comparison), steam-release valve, self-medication through exhibitionism, an ironic return to origins, what? And, will we see a complete project in that guise?
"I'm not really sure what the similarities are between Xaul Zan and Slim Shady. I do know that Xaul Zan would punch him dead in his melon and then take Haley out for a bite to eat. He has no tact. He is a vent of many sorts. If he EVER releases an album, which may very well happen, the reaction of people will cover extreme ends of the emotional spectrum. I'm not sure how ready I am to be responsible for the things he would bring to an entire project."
- What do you hope to accomplish as a musician/writer/artist? Do you have specific goals, other than to get to a place where your music can support you? (I believe that's what you expressed to me at Scribble a few years back when we spoke.)
"I've already accomplished what I wanted to for the most part. I have a listening audience, a core fanbase who continues to support, a great network of people I work with, a credible voice, and I make enough money to live well...for now. I foresee things getting bigger, but my actual goal is just to stick to my guns as an artist and make everything work the way I like it. Damn. My goal is to be able to operate as effectively as possible without going insane or running myself into the ground."
- Do you write to a beat, or choose a beat to fit what's written?
"Sometimes I write to a beat. Sometimes I write to silence and wait for a beat to come around that fits the mood I had in mind. Sometimes I write to a different beat than the lyrics are going to be on. Sometimes I write to a song that already has lyrics on it. You get the point. I write whenever. The actual words and the ideas are what usually motivate me."
- Top five artists you'd like to work with in the near future?
"Bob Dylan, Public Enemy (with Bomb Squad), KRS (with Premier), Beastie Boys (with Rick Rubin), De La Soul (with Prince Paul)"
- You're President of the newly created Republic of Underground Hip Hop. What would you say in your first state of the union address?
"Hey everyone...hi....umm...wussup MOM!!! So uh, check it...I don't want to be an evil dictator or anything. Just do whatever you want. I have a lot to say to you but you need to figure shit out on your own. That's the only way it'll stick. Until then, do your best to be tolerant of people with different lifestyles and ideologies. Oh...and stop having sex. This instant. Also, stop being so fucking wack. And no TV! NO NO NO....you may not act like you know more than me. You suck so much. Work for me. Always. Let's get started."
- How would the first two sentences of your autobiography read?
"My mom was a bartender and my dad was a locksmith. How fucking poetic is that?"
- Why "not experimental"?
"because that term has been used for people who don't know what the hell they're doing but they want to try something 'different.' The term 'experimental' is almost a disclaimer that says: 'WARNING...I have not mastered my craft so I am going to break rules without knowing them first. Here's the shitty result!' That's not me. I know what the fuck I'm doing.
- It's Saturday afternoon, you aren't writing, you aren't touring, you aren't recording, just kicking back (imagine that!). What three albums are likely to be in the stereo?
"This Saturday it was Weezer, Neil Young and John Lennon. I have been buying music from all different genres and listening to new stuff. But I'm not ready to shout them out yet."
- Why do you play with your own (re)presentation so much? From tshirts advertising your own death to innumerable differing reports of your age, not to mention your various alter-egos, you seem unwilling to present a singular biography for people to latch on to. Why is that? What is the expected result, or is there one?
"Because I don't really care to be profiled. There's not a single category that would be fair to my past, present or future. It's import to let people think they have me figured out and then discover on their own that they don't. No matter what a person says about themselves, there are activities and comments that will contradict that image. Then people feel disappointed by it because they're not secure enough with themselves or who they are. I don't care to feed into that at all. I'd prefer to be an ever-changing entity. Big, giant, round heads don't fit well into small boxes."
- Emo-rap, indie-hop, avant-garde (you've already answered that one), what is it? Something new, or just a new expression of the same thing? If hip hop in 2002, with its Scribble Jams and hiphopinfinities, is a logical progression from Melle Mel and BeatStreet, what is the tie that binds? How does your own work, or the work of other genre-bending and envelope-pushing artists, fit in?
"It's nothing new. People keep trying to think of new names for the same old shit. Scribble Jam and hiphopinfinity are not the logical progression of Melle Mel and BeatStreet. Some might even say they are deviations. But the things that ties all of it together is that people are still working together and expressing themselves on some type of format we like to call hiphop. How do I fit in? I am making contributions and inspiring, while getting love and inspiration in return."
- How do feel about where you are now? Are you where you'd like to be, or where you had imagined you'd be?
"I am astounded that things have worked almost exactly to how I had planned. I am currenly beyond where I thought I would be without the support of a major label."
-Now that we've covered a novel's worth, is there anything else you'd like to add?
"This interview made me think. Thanks for challenging me. But ease off selecta."
Ok, that'll do for now. I might send more questions along. Thanks so much for doing this. I'll talk to you soon.

Burn is definitely a good thing...
Burn is a term that means "playing time" in sports; like Sage got mad burn in high school football.
Patrick Ewing got no burn in Orlando.
Burn is good, burn is ALWAYS good.

"Sex is to masturbation"
I wish I could make good music so I could experience that feeling..
And the priest who plays the organ at church wants the opposite..
What a paradox..
What, in music, would be the equal to a hummer?..
Good interview...

10 New Weight Loss and Diet Myths and Facts
Is it a no-no to eat after 8 PM? Discover the real answer to this question and more
People who skip meals or eat erratically have a tendency to overeat to make up for the food they missed. And eating too few calories actually triggers your body to hold on to fat and burn fewer calories. "Hunger is a great indication that your metabolism is turned on," says Borden. "If your metabolism is turned on, you should feel hunger every three to four hours." Bottom line: Being hungry is a good sign, it means that your body's working the way it's supposed to, to burn off calories and keep running smoothly. On the other hand, starving yourself to the point where your body thinks it needs to conserve calories for the long haul is both unhealthy and works against your weight loss goal. So don't be afraid to eat when you're hungry -- just make wise choices.
Capitalize on the facts: Eating smaller meals and healthy snacks throughout the day is far preferable to starving and bingeing. And your mother was right: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A healthy one fuels you up and gets your body energized and ready for the day. Don't skip it.
Next: Is sweat all it's cracked up to be?

Officials say it will be the site of the future MAEC, but officials said a decision of whether to tear it down and rebuild or renovate the property has not been made.
The board said it intends to hire an architect with the next 60-90 days.
"We think it will have a great economic impact, because this is a state museum and certainly the state, Mississippi Development Authority, tourism, everybody will be advertising and supporting it," said Tommy Dulaney, president of the MAEC board of directors.
Manny and Melanie Mitchell of Meridian have also donated the adjacent property, the former Meridian Hotel.
"The possibilities are just limitless for children to take their yearly train ride, which we know all the kids do on Amtrak," said Melanie Mitchell. "By extending the covered walkway here, they can walk right to our museum and experience all the wonderful interactive, educational things that will be at the museum."
"This will spark all different kind of businesses because we are now the Arts and Entertainment District for the state," said Mayor Cheri Barry.
Officials said the MAEC has $4 million in seed money, but the project would cost an estimated $15 million to $18 million to complete.
Officials say the museum will be state of the art with interactive hologram technology, where patrons can actually sing with noted Mississippi artists.
With a projected date to open in 2013, board members say additional plans are in the works to possibly incorporate the Jimmie Rodgers Museum with the center, and perhaps still build an amphitheater at Bonita Lakes.
The history of the MAEC goes back to 2001 when the Mississippi Legislature approved its establishment. Four years later, Hurricane Katrina hit, stifling the economy and slowing progress on the facility.

I've read that our metabolisms don't change as we age, WE do, and we start sitting around more and more and then as we gain weight, we feel sad and hopeless and the pounds glob onto us. Hurrah for programs to help people help each other - losing weight or gaining confidence and friendship - whatever the positive results may be. And good for you, Deb! Good for you!

Paul Ryan Breaks Post-Election Silence
Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.), Mitt Romney's running mate, is open to including increased tax revenues in a deficit reduction deal so long as it does not involve tax rate increases, he told a home state newspaper in an interview that broke his post election media silence.
"You can increase revenues without having to raise tax rates,'' he said in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, one of a number of local media outlets he spoke with Monday.

- Paul Ryan Reports Strong Fundraising Haul
- What Paul Ryan's Agenda Offers Voters--and Down-Ballot Republicans
That put Mr. Ryan broadly in sync with the position laid out by House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), who has dialed back the party's anti-tax rhetoric by being open to a budget deal that brings in more revenues, but remaining resolutely opposed to President Barack Obama's demand to increase tax rates for upper income brackets.
Mr. Ryan, who was consulted by Mr. Boehner before the speaker laid out his position in a post-election speech last week, said in the interview, "Our fear is that if you raise tax rates you hurt economic growth. You hurt small businesses. So through tax reform you can get higher revenues without damaging the economy. We think that's the better way to go."
He also said he hoped that Mr. Obama would "begin to show some leadership'' by offering new proposals to address the nation's long term fiscal problems. He echoed GOP complaints that the Democratic controlled Senate hasn't passed a bill to avert the so-called fiscal cliff – the year-end tax increases and spending cuts that will take effect if Congress does not act. The House last spring passed a bill that would replace impending defense spending cuts with reductions on entitlement programs such as food stamps and Social Service Block Grants.
"We've put out ideas,'' Mr. Ryan said in the interview. "The House Republicans have put out specific solutions. The president and the Senate have yet to do that. In order to get things done, in order to reach common ground both sides need to put out, not just rhetoric, but specific ideas on the table. Then you negotiate. We're hopeful that the president will begin to show some leadership on this and some other issues so that we can begin to get common ground."
In an interview with another home-state paper, the Journal-Times of Racine, Mr. Ryan said his return to his hometown of Janesville, Wis., from the unsuccessful national campaign was "bittersweet.''
" The sweet part is I'm back home on the block I grew up on, with my friends and family," he said. "The bitter part is we lost a major presidential election at a critical time."
"It hurts to lose a big election like this, but I don't have any regrets whatsoever," he said. "We ran the kind of race we wanted to run," campaigning on "specific solutions and big ideas."

HIV Mainstreaming, Gender and MDGs
National HIV responses have proven to be most successful when they have moved beyond addressing HIV as only a health concern, and involved a wider range of sectors and stakeholders. UNDP helps countries to mainstream attention to HIV and health into action on gender equality, poverty reduction and the broader efforts to achieve and sustain the Millennium Development Goals. This includes working with countries to understand the social and economic factors that play a crucial role in impacting health, and promoting specific action on the needs and rights of women and girls as they relate to HIV.
Understanding and acting on critical enablers and development synergies for strategic investments
The AIDS response needs a people-centred investment approach so that returns are maximized. For the response, the returns are clear - zero new infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths. AIDS-related investments must be smart and produce results for people; results that matter – lives saved, keeping people from acquiring HIV infection, keeping people alive and keeping people and families healthy and productive.Understanding and acting on critical enablers and development synergies for strategic investments

Kyle Bass Chimes in on Herbalife: 'I Would Never Bet Against Dan Loeb'
In the showdown over Herbalife, Dan Loeb just got another cheerleader: Kyle Bass.
The hedge-fund manager, who runs Hayman Capital Management LP, said he wouldn't bet against his pal, Mr. Loeb.
In an interview on CNBC, Bass said he doesn't have a stake in the nutrition company and acknowledged he hasn't studied the company to make a recommendation one way or another. But when asked which hedge-fund manager is right in the high-profile stakes that have been built for and against Herbalife, Bass minced few words.
"Dan Loeb is one of the most talented investors in the world," Bass said. "He's a good friend. I would never bet against Dan Loeb. I think Ackman has a tough road here."

Pershing Square's Bill Ackman late last year unveiled a highly publicized wager against Herbalife, saying his firm had bet more than $1 billion that Herbalife stock would fall. He called the company a pyramid scheme and said the stock should fall to zero. Shares tumbled 38% in four days following his initial comments.
But the shares quickly came back as other hedge-fund managers publicly said they took opposite sides of Ackman's bet. Loeb's Third Point LLC last month reported an 8.2% passive stake in Herbalife.
"The pyramid scheme is a serious accusation that we have studied closely with our advisors," Mr. Loeb wrote in a letter to investors last month. "We do not believe it has merit."
The Wall Street Journal last month reported that Carl Icahn had also entered the fray by taking a stake in Herbalife.
The company has repeatedly countered claims that it is a pyramid scheme and has defended its business model on numerous occasions.
Herbalife shares recently fell 3.7% to $24.99. The volatile stock is up about 6% this year, yet is down some 40% over the last 12 months.

Christopher said progress is being made in the investigation, but as of the time of this publication, no one has been named as a suspect.
"There is always money available for information that leads to a suspect being caught," Christopher said.

A beloved dim sum destination for three decades, Cho's on California Avenue in Palo Alto is closing up shop in March.
Owners Cho and Daisy Yu said they received a 60-day eviction notice from property manager Susan Ross on Jan. 16. The Mountain View couple plans to keep serving customers through March 15.
"They're not giving me any choice," Cho Yu told The Daily News following the Tuesday lunch rush.
Ross could not be reached for comment.
Cho Yu opened the hole-in-the-wall eatery at 213 S. California Ave. in 1979. The key to its longevity, he said, was offering good food at reasonable prices. A "value meal" consisting of three pork pot stickers, two small BBQ pork buns and one eggroll costs just $4.50.
"Everyone knows how to make it but I make it better," he said with a grin.
In many ways, the eatery's decor reflects the simplicity of the fare. Customers order at a battered wooden counter and the food is prepared within view at a modest stove. Supplies are also stored out in the open as a result of the restaurant being no bigger than 800 square feet.
Relocating doesn't appear to be an option. The expense would be significant -- tens of thousands of dollars by Cho Yu's estimate -- and there are far more regulations than when the couple first went into the restaurant business.
"We are not young," added Daisy Yu. "We cannot work as long."
A Farmers Insurance outpost at 217 S. California Ave. also received an eviction notice from Ross. Broker Ron Vierra declined to comment for this story but one of his employees said he was hoping to work out an extension.
Cho Yu said he'd also like more time to wind down his affairs but he hasn't been able to reach Ross.
He speculated that the two businesses are being asked to leave to make more space for Baumé, a relatively new Michelin-starred restaurant at 201 S. California Ave. that offers an eight-course prix fixe tasting menu for $198 per person. The property is also managed by Ross.
Baumé was closed Tuesday and a press inquiry submitted through the restaurant's website was not immediately returned.
Nina Homnack stopped by Cho's to pick up a BBQ pork bun. A monthly customer since 1983, she said she was devastated by news of the closing, adding that California Avenue stood to lose some of its independent flavor.
"It's really sad," Homnack told The Daily News.
"The chicken pot stickers are the best ones on the Peninsula. And the couple is just very endearing. I wish them well in what's to come because it's very hard to open another restaurant."

yeah, make sure you get 'they don't have this'..... its fucking dope and his second best cd, for me.... i don't know where the tracks are from but they are between 1998 and 2000.... its tracks that were recorded but never really used on any releases, compiled together.... theres an amazing track called 'wordy' on there, produced by dj eq......
his new album should be incredible because he used to release a lot of shit but he's worked on this new one for quite some time and really concentrated on it properly instead of just getting it out like a lot of his old stuff.......

Focus Stocks
AK Steel Is Close to Resistance
Published on Wednesday, 02 January 2013 08:36 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, January 2nd (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of AK Steel Holding Corporation (NYSE:AKS) are trading very close to calculated resistance at $4.67. The stock ended the trading session at just $4.60, which is near levels that make it difficult to buy or start a position.
AK Steel Holding Corporation (NYSE:AKS), through its subsidiaries, produces flat-rolled carbon, stainless, and electrical steels, and tubular products primarily in the United States and internationally. The Company produces coated, cold rolled, and hot rolled carbon steel for the automotive, appliance, construction, and manufacturing markets. AK Steel also cold rolls and aluminum coats stainless steel for customers in the automotive industry.
AK Steel's stock range is defined by its calculated support defined at $4.21 and by the resistance level at $4.67; the stock is clearly over-extended from support, making it harder for participants to establish fresh longs.
Traders don't have a clear entry point for AK Steel. However, as the stock pulls back towards $4.21 it will definitely provide a reference point to establish a trade. On the other hand, if the stock breaks above its resistance level at $4.67 then traders will get an opportunity to enter the stock as it moves to a higher range.

NYT: Racial disparities in life spans narrow, but persist
Higher infant mortality among blacks also contributes to the gap, but less than it used to. The infant mortality rate for blacks fell by 16 percent from 2005 to 2011, compared with a 12 percent drop for whites, said Kenneth M. Johnson, a demographer at the University of New Hampshire.

I pull a trailer for work and was talked into these by my tire dealer. Very unsatisfied with these tires! Poor snow and wet road performance. Tread filled with snow and mud leaving me with just a big set of slicks. I would not recommend these tires if you need them to perform. If you just want an "Old Man" tire then these are the ones.

WebM – The New Open Source Codec on the Block
May 27, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments
In August 2009, Google acquired codec developer On2 Technologies for a rumoured $106 million. The flagship On2 codec was VP8 and it was also rumoured at the time that Google may open source this technology in the future, although a number of challenges lay ahead.
Late last week this rumour became reality and WebM was born. Alongside Theora and Dirac, WebM now enters the open source HTML 5 ready codec battle. Almost immediately all major web browsers, except one, but including Internet Explorer announced support for the codec. Using the might and muscle of Google WebM must have a solid chance of taking on the dominance of H.264 in the web video delivery battle. This really will be a solid kick in the pants for Theora, which now seems destined to remain a reasonably niche product, even with direct HTML 5 support from Firefox.
In short order some early comparisons between H.264 and WebM appeared online. Some with more technical detail than others. The debate also began as to whether Google was benevolent or evil. Did WebM contain submarine patents that not even Google were aware of?
Producing WebM video for the masses was the next step. Easy to follow FFmpeg tutorials are available and just a few days ago a major commercial transcoding software vendor announced WebM/VP8 support.
WebM video is already available on YouTube, in experimental form. How long before at least all new YouTube video is transcoded to this format? If WebM quality is on parity with H.264, and the jury is still out on that, what is the unique selling point of H.264? Why would anyone continue to use it?
There will be a substantial legacy component to overcome. Many people and organisations have invested heavily in H.264 technology, and a move to WebM may represent an operational, although not licensing, cost. However, with Google behind it, many of Big Business' concerns around open source projects may be alleviated.
Adding to this, H.264 video within a Flash player still has significant advantages over HTML 5 delivered video content, in terms of presentation flexibility and perceived security.
H.264 video is of course still dominant for web delivery, just as VP6 and VP7 was in the past. However, WebM is an exciting development with a bright future. Using the collective power of open source development, and no small amount of corporate backing from Google, watch out for WebM to challenge MPEG-LA's codec in the future.

Just starting out this week, and I know nutrition is a big part of being fit. However, it is not my strong point but I am going to work on it as well. In the meantime, what would be something quick and easy to make/eat before going for a jog - without having to make a full breakfast?
Thanks for your suggestions.
What I've read and kind of been practicing regarding eating is this, 'You should neither be famished nor stuffed when you head out for a run. A good rule of thumb for beginners is to drink a cup of water and eat a light high-carbohydrate meal or snack half an hour to an hour before running. Rich and high-fiber foods often cause stomach distress, especially for beginners, so stay away from any significant intake of fats, protein, salad, and fruit (bananas are an exception - they're easy on the stomach for most people). Mornings are less problematic, since you'll wake with an empty stomach. Grab some toast, a bagel, or a banana and coffee if you like and give yourself a little bit of time before running... be sure to wait two to three hours after you've eated a large lunch or one that contains rich or fibrous items, or you might wind up with uncomfortable bloating, By the way, many runners will attest to the fact that as you progress and get used to running, your stomach will most likely become less sensitive to what and when you eat.' (Runner's World-Complete Book of Women's Running)
Water is your best friend, remember to stay hydrated throughout the day!
3/15/2010: Started C25K

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have read that a piece of fruit or a banana plus a quick drink (perhaps milk or juice) should do the trick. Not too light, none too heavy. Most importantly, it shouldn't upset your stomach.
I think a light meal as described an hour or 2 before a run is optimal. I run first thing in the AM, however, and don't have time for it. I don't find myself more fatigued than my weekend runs when I DO eat first though... That being said I try to eat a lot of LOW glycemic carbs for dinner. Pre-run meal is coffee and water. If it is a race day about 2 hours before I like a slice of peanut butter on whole grain bread toast and a banana. I'll usually drink 32 OZ of Gatorade too just to make sure I don't lose any weight from the race! ha.
If I eat an hour or so before a run I like to drink about 20 oz. of water (I drink the energy Vitamin Water) and some oatmeal or a powerbar. If it's 2-3 hours before I run I will eat some cereal and toast with a powerbar. Bananas are always good for the potassium. Just make sure you don't eat too much, stay on the side of eating less than more. I hope your training goes well!

This reminds me of what I've been eating for breakfast the past few days. A slice of sprouted grain bread spread with natual chunky peanut butter and sliced banana on top. (I'd sprinkle on a few choclate chips or mini M&M's or raisins if I had them handy.) Yummy!!!!

I don't eat if I run first thing in the morning. Normal breakfast is coffee, 1 pb toast, and a fruit medley, if I'm running in 1 to 2 hours.
For me nothing works better than a shake. I make it the night before so I just have to grab it from the fridge and drink before a run. It's super fast, I can blend in everything my body needs, and it's light enough on the digestive system so I can go out just a few minutes after drinking.
I am currently training for a marathon. You can see my full runner's diet, as laid out by my sport nutritionist, here: http://wp.me/sOwIM-post27
Vanessa Rodriguez
Oh man, after reading what everyone else eats I am a little embarrassed. I eat 1.5 servings of quaker oats oatmeal with bananas and coffee about an hour and a half before I go running and when I return I eat another 1.5 servings and a carnation instant breakfast. At that point I am ready to begin my day!
I ususally just drink Vita Coco or put it in a smoothie or shake. It fills you up and gives you all the electrolytes and nutrients you need for the run.

PHILADELPHIA -- DeSean Jackson has added the element of surprise to his repertoire.
The two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver made plenty of big plays for the Philadelphia Eagles even when defenses knew what he was doing. In former coach Andy Reid's offense, Jackson ran mostly deep routes. The result was 19 of his 28 career touchdowns receiving and rushing went for more than 30 yards.
But, Jackson found the end zone fewer times after teams figured out the way the Eagles used him. He had 22 touchdowns in his first three seasons, including two in the playoffs. He scored only six over the last two years.
Now that Chip Kelly is here, Jackson will be used in a variety of ways. Kelly's up-tempo offense features numerous formations and defenses won't be able to predict how Jackson, a former Cal star, gets the ball.
He'll be on display prominently Monday, when the Eagles open vs. Washington.
"In the past, teams have done a great job of seeing what I've done early in my career with making the big plays and electrifying plays and things like that, but now with this offense coming in, it's really going to be a plus in my eyes," Jackson said.
"A lot of teams don't really know what to expect. Regardless of what we did in the preseason, I still think there are a lot of plays that have been hidden and that we haven't been running.
"The versatility with the offense will keep the defense off-guard."
Kelly might use Jackson similar to the way he featured do-everything-back De'Anthony Thomas at Oregon minus the direct handoffs. Thomas had 1,296 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns and 1,050 yards receiving and 14 scores for Kelly in 2011-12.
"Regardless of where I come out, every play with the tempo and with the speed plays and intensity, we'll always be able to keep them off-guard," Jackson said.
Jackson also might get the ball on punts. He's a dangerous returner who went to the Pro Bowl in 2009 after taking two punts the distance. Jackson has four career scores on punt returns. Last year, Jackson returned only one punt. But, he hinted that he could be back there for the season opener at Washington.
Michael Vick embraces Jackson's new role.
"You just have to move DeSean around and kind of psyche the defense out and not make it predictable in terms of what you're going to do," Vick said. " ... He's more confident, and he's ready to play some good football. I expect a lot of big things from him this year."

Defense attorneys for a Newport Township man accused of murder are arguing that the man's recorded confession should be thrown out because a confidential informant persuaded him to confess to the crime with alcohol and promises of money.
They said the defendant is mentally ill, an alcoholic and has an IQ of 73, functioning at a fourth-grade level. Those factors helped him be persuaded into a false confession, according to the motion filed in court.
Mark F. Stevens, 48, of 2385 Bells Run Road, was arrested Aug. 1, after he told a wired informant that he had shot and killed his Bells Run Road neighbor, 42-year-old Patrick Arnold, more than four years earlier.

However, defense attorneys Ray Smith and Shawna Landaker have filed a motion to suppress those conversations, Smith said Wednesday.
"We believe that the confidential informant was actually an agent of the state and he made some promises and bought him some beer," said Smith.
The motion, filed Monday in Washington County Common Pleas Court, sheds some light on the 23-and-a-half hours of conversations that the Washington County Sheriff's Office used for grounds for arresting Stevens.
Fact Box
Motion to suppress
Defense attorneys for Mark F. Stevens have filed a motion to suppress his recorded confession of the 2008 murder of his Newport Township neighbor, 42-year-old Patrick Arnold.
The motion alleges that a confidential informant plied Stevens, a chronic alcoholic, with beer and the promise of making money if he confessed to the murder.
The motion also alleges that the informant used graphic talk of seances, devil worship and blood to gain the trust of Stevens, a diagnosed schizophrenic who reportedly believes he hears voices.
The informant, James Corder, previously blew the whistle on an acquaintance that had offered to murder three witnesses in an aggravated drug trafficking case against Corder.
Presiding Judge Julie Selmon of Monroe County Common Pleas Court is scheduled to hold hearings on the pending motions the week of May 13.
Stevens' trial for murder and tampering with evidence is scheduled for July 15.
Source: Washington County Common Pleas Court filing.
He was indicted in August for the murder, an unscheduled felony, and for a third-degree felony count of tampering with evidence for allegedly disposing of the murder weapon, which has not been found.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office has not released details of the conversations, saying only that Stevens gave the informant information that related back to the crime scene.
Arnold was found July 24, 2008 on the porch of his home. He had died of a single gunshot wound to the chest.
The confidential informant in question, 46-year-old James Corder, of Macksburg, previously worked with law enforcement when he blew the whistle on Steven Medaris, an acquaintance who had offered to kill witnesses in Corder's 2009 aggravated drug trafficking case.
That information played no role in Corder's case, said then-Assistant Washington County Prosecutor Susan Vessels, and Corder was sentenced to six months in the Washington County Jail.
According to the motion, Corder first approached officers with information about Arnold's murder March 31, 2010, about three-and-a-half months into the sentence.
"It should be noted that Detective (Dana) Spencer questioned Mr. Corder's reliability," said the motion, citing a statement Spencer wrote on April 21, 2010.
That statement is part of discovery and therefore not part of the regular filings in the case, said Smith.
Corder was wired to conduct conversations with Stevens, who was in jail at that time on an unrelated misdemeanor charge. However, those recorded conversations produced no evidence, states the report.
A second informant, Jim Stone, had an additional six taped conversations with Stevens in May 2011. According to the suppression motion, they produced no evidence against Stevens.
Corder was jailed again in June 2012 and again offered to give officers information about Arnold's murder. This time, the Washington County Prosecutor's Office filed for Corder to obtain a furlough, releasing him from jail July 10.
The defense argues that Corder took advantage of Stevens, "a chronic alcoholic" by repeatedly offering him drinks. In a July 17 conversation, Corder is quoted as saying "I'm gonna at least buy you a case of beer." Four days later he tells Stevens he'll bring him out "some boo-some brewskies."
Corder also took advantage of Stevens' low intelligence and diagnosed schizophrenia, argues Smith. Stevens was hospitalized at the Ohio Hospital for Psychiatry in June 2011 and January 2012 after he complained of "voices having a party and taunting him," states the motion.
Corder told Stevens about elaborate seances, devil worship and blood in order to gain his trust, says the motion.
In one July 21 conversation, Corder tells Stevens about a man who was bleeding out of the eyes and ears at a seance that evening.
"Ah god Mark...it's like a fever for a flavor of a Pringle," Corder is quoted as saying.
"It's just bizarre what he told Stevens to get him to admit some involvement," said Smith.
Finally the defense argues that Corder promised Stevens money if he would admit to the killing. The motion alleges that Corder told Stevens that he had high level drug connections and would involve Stevens in the money-making operations. If Stevens admitted to killing Arnold, he could get rich, Corder told him.
"If you done Patrick just say, yea I killed Patrick," said Corder.
One of the key reasons the confession should be invalidated is the way Stevens finally confesses, said Smith.
"Okay, I killed Patrick. Do I get my money now?" Stevens asked.
The statements made by Stevens were obtained in a manner that violated the federal and the Ohio Constitution, the motion asserts.
Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks declined to comment on the investigation Wednesday, saying that it had been turned over to prosecutors.
Washington County Prosecutor Jim Schneider said he had not yet seen the motion.
The state's case against Stevens would be "not nearly as strong" if presiding Judge Julie Selmon of Monroe County Common Pleas Court grants the motion to suppress the confession, granted Schneider. But he said there is other evidence in the case.
Schneider has until May 15 to file a response, he said.
Hearings on current pending motions including the suppression motion and a motion to reduce Stevens' bond are scheduled for that week.
Stevens is set to go to trial July 15.

Hard to believe it, but another year is drawing to a close.
Every December I hit the "PAUSE" button and look back at the road we've just traveled, where we are now, and what might lie ahead in the coming year. I've done this here, in fact, for 10 years.
When I piece together the last decade, it reveals a rather remarkable story of just how far we've come.
Please join me for a look at the decade in review.

Duncan Smith and Nick Middleton are redefining retro with a powerful glitch-funk electronic sound. The duo out of Vancouver, British Columbia, started spinning records together about five years ago and now has international tours under its belt, taking over clubs and festivals with an old-school turntable approach to bass music layered with catchy samples.
Samana Lounge welcomes the duo to Vail Valley for the first time Saturday night. Before leaving for Colorado, Middleton took few moments to chat with the Vail Daily.
Vail Daily: How did The Funk Hunters get its start?
Nick Middleton: We met on a small island off the West Coast here (in British Columbia). We started playing just for fun to entertain our friends, and from there it grew into entertaining the community and that really contributed to the diverse styles of music we play. We got into music in a different way than most people, but from the very beginning we played together, it's a natural thing - it's always been our thing.
We're not playing a two-hour funk set. Everything that we're playing - if we're playing a drum and bass track, it's a really funky drum and bass track.
I'm hoping that will never change. Regardless of what music we play, we're always looking to bring it back to the funk and that, of course, translates to the dance floor.
VD: What exactly defines funk music from a technical standpoint?
NM: That's the million-dollar question. Even when I'm sitting in the studio writing a song, it's this mysterious thing called the funk. To me it's a groove. From that, there's usually horns or some funky bass guitar. But it goes back to that groove. It's not straight and lifeless.
VD: Has the recent surge of bass music and dubstep influenced your music?
NM: Yeah, totally, big time. Especially on the West Coast, and I know from friends and what is happening out in Colorado, that it's really big there, too. As a whole, it's fantastic. Whether you want to argue that you're in the underground music scene or you're in the mainstream music scene, wherever you're sitting, electronic music is becoming so big. With it, that mean parts of it are becoming more commercial, but that's fine. It just means there's a broader audience for all of us. It means there's going to be more festivals happening, and more clubs or music venues are booking electronic music. It's a really interesting time to be involved in music. I feel optimistic for the people on the dance floor. They don't necessarily want to hear dubstep anymore, but they want to hear bass music.
VD: Why stick with the turntables?
NM: It's hard to imagine not playing on turntables. Obviously, there's something about the aesthetic of there being two of us up here playing on four turntables.
But there's something nice about the feel and the touch, and at the end of the day, you have to have fun with what you're doing. There's something about feeling the record and feeling like you're in the mix and doing something.
We have a really hybrid kind of style. We have turntables, but we also have MIDI pads and controllers. We can loop stuff and sample stuff. And now we have this new thing where we're doing audio/visual stuff.

Hello Everyone,
I am brand new to PMS and so far I really like it, I am using it with a WDTV Live. I have done a fair bit of reading but can't seem to find the answer to my question. I have a folder of .mkv movies shared on PMS, Inside that folder each movie has it's own folder along with a thumbnail jpg. I have to have the .jpg named folder.jpg in order to see my thumbnails in the wdtv. If I name the .jpg the same as the movie I get no thumbnail. No Problem, however, when I select a movie, it goes into the sub menu and shows the .mkv and the .jpg thumbnails. It is hard to know which is the .mkv and which is the .jpg picture. Is there a way to disable PMS showing the separate .jpg and just show the thumbnailed .mkv? I have everything set to hide in the navigation settings and still showing the separate .jpg. Any help would be appreciated!

An Oklahoma man is in custody after another security breach at Mid-Continent Airport, according to Sedgwick County investigators.
Detectives said the man drove through the security, toward a private jet, near the Cessna property. Fact Finder 12 has learned the incident happened early Sunday morning shortly after midnight.
"Once he had driven through the fence he actually drove onto the taxiway and near an airplane," said Lt. Dave Mattingly with the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office.
Airport and Cessna security spotted the man right away and deputies made the arrest. Mattingly said the man was in possession of a gun and knives. He was arrested without incident.
Jail records indicate the 26-year-old man is being held on $15,000 bond for trespassing.
Now investigators have to figure out what his intentions were.
"That's the big question is why did someone do something like this? This is a unique incident. From what I'm told, when deputies contacted him he was talking to himself out loud," Mattingly said.
The man is from Marlow, Oklahoma near Oklahoma City. Fact Finder 12 found he has ties to Great Bend. We talked with the man's mother who told us she did not have any details of his arrest, but hopes he gets the help he needs.
"He's from Oklahoma … why he was here? There are several airports in Oklahoma, but something drew him here. What that reason is … that's what we're going to determine," adds Mattingly.
Mattingly said investigators do not think this was a terrorism incident.
After last month's bomb plot, and now this at the airport, some passengers share concerns about flying in and out of Wichita. "It's weird to hear that that stuff is happening like constantly," said passenger Matthew Goist.
"My concern is now, what is TSA and the local authorities doing about it. Are they beefing up securities, are they putting barriers around? That's a big concern," said passenger Darryl Woods.
Eyewitness News asked airport leaders about that. Mid-Continent released this statement about the incident ...
"The security measures in place at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport are effective as proven by this recent incident. Our security procedures are constantly being reviewed and updated in light of ever-changing threats. Travelers should be assured that security is a top priority and we are constantly vigilant in our efforts to keep the airport safe."
Investigators are now determined to find out the man's intentions and why he targeted Wichita. "There are several airports in Oklahoma, but something drew him here. What that reason is, that's what we're going to need to determine," said Mattingly.
"It surprises me from someone that's from Oklahoma because most generally you think of here in Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, mostly in the Midwest and good people come from the midwest," said passenger Lloyd Schneider.
After countless threats to U.S. airports post-911, some passengers feel security measures will never be enough. "That's a big concern. I mean, not only for this airport but airports around the country. Because if it could happen here, it can happen anywhere," said Woods.
The man has not been charged, but was booked on criminal damage to property and trespassing. Mattingly says those charges could be amended depending on what the investigation finds.

Seth MacFarlane said on Twitter there was "no way" he was hosting the Oscars again. That's probably a relief to some people. So with the job open next year, who should be pressed into service?
1. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler: They killed at the Golden Globes and MacFarlane gave them a shout-out Sunday night. They're the obvious choice.
2. Charlie Sheen -- The Oscar telecast is usually awful no matter what, so why not just go all out and let chaos and anarchy reign?
3. Louis C.K. -- Grumpiest Oscar show ever.
4. Chris Rock -- A lot of people hated him in his first go-round. Maybe he was ahead of his time. Give him another shot.
5. Neil Patrick Harris -- He has already shined as a Tonys and Emmys host. Time to let him make the big step up.
6. Meryl Streep -- Yes, it sounds crazy, but why not? She's Hollywood royalty and has delivered some of the funniest, most engaging acceptance speeches over the years.
7. The Muppets -- Cranky critics Waldorf and Staler were Twitter before Twitter.
8. Sandra Bullock -- Funny lady, funny host? She's the girl next door. Everyone loves her.
9. Tom Hanks -- Hollywood's Mr. Nice Guy. Appeals to the masses and has the rare ability to be both funny and seriously reverential.
10. Simon Cowell -- Hollywood's big egos need some deflating and he's the man to do it. Besides, he'll need a gig after "The X Factor" gets canceled.
11. Justin Timberlake -- He can sing, dance and crack jokes with the best of them. Plus, he looks really good in a tux.
12. Buzz and Woody -- Well, the Academy keeps saying it wants a younger audience.

El Yunque National Forest
The El Yunque National Forest quarter is the first of 2012 and the 11th overall in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program. El Yunque National Forest, located in Puerto Rico, is the sole tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. Despite the forest's relatively small 28,000-acre size, it is significant for its immense biodiversity and is popular with visitors for its year-round tropical climate. More than 1 million visitors from all over the world visit the forest each year to sample its eco-tourism pleasures while developing a greater understanding of its ecological importance by walking along the many beautiful trails. It was first established as a national site on January 17, 1903 (32 Stat. 2029).
The reverse design depicts a Coqui tree frog sitting on a leaf and a Puerto Rican parrot behind an epiphyte plant with tropical flora in the background. The Puerto Rican parrot is a highly endangered species unique to Puerto Rico, and its recovery began with the few birds left in El Yunque. Inscriptions are EL YUNQUE, PUERTO RICO, 2012 and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Design candidates were developed in consultation with representatives of El Yunque National Forest.

What is Advantage II?
Advantage II for Dogs & Cats is a topical flea preventative for dogs and cats where a single application lasts for an entire month. As soon as you apply it to your pet's skin, Advantage II goes to work. The first ingredient, imidacloprid, kills adult fleas within 12 hours of application, stops fleas from biting in 5 minutes, and reinfesting fleas (those that jump on your pet after Advantage II has been applied for 12 hours) are killed within 2 hours.
Advantage II kills more parasites than just adult fleas. The second ingredient in this product, insect growth regulator (IGR) pyriproxyfen, eliminates immature fleas (eggs and larvae). This breaks the flea's life cycle to prevent additional infestations. This is important because only 5% of a flea population found within a home are adult fleas. The eggs and larvae can remain undetected in your carpets, baseboards, pet bedding, and other areas until they develop. Advantage II helps end this cycle of infestation.
Because Advantage II flea control is waterproof, it remains effective even after swimming or bathing. It is safe for dogs and puppies 7 weeks and older and cats and kittens 8 weeks and older. Fleas are more than a nuisance; they can transmit diseases, cause allergic reactions, and make your pet miserable. Protect your pets with Advantage II today.
Note: Advantage II does not kill ticks. For canine tick control, consider using K9 Advantix II for Dogs from Bayer or collars like Preventic.
How it Works
Advantage II kills adult fleas through contact with the first active ingredient, imidacloprid. It causes paralysis and death in fleas by affecting the nervous system. The second ingredient, pyriproxyfen, is an insect growth regulator that prevents flea eggs from hatching. These two ingredients allow Advantage II to kill existing fleas on your pet and prevent additional infestations by ending the parasite's life cycle. Advantage II gathers in the oils of your pet's skin and hair and is slowly released for up to one month.

Applying Advantage II
The manufacturer recommends you apply Advantage II once a month. It will remain effective even after bathing, swimming, or exposure to direct sunlight. In cases of severe flea infestations, you may have to retreat with Advantage II sooner than four weeks. Do not retreat more often than once every 7 days. Once the severe infestation is controlled, resume monthly applications.
Side Effects
Some animals may experience sensitivities to the ingredients in Advantage II, though this is rare. Some may experience temporary irritation at the site of application. If signs persist or become more severe in a few days after applying Advantage II, seek immediate veterinary care. If your pet has an unusual reaction, talk to your veterinarian before repeating treatment.
Read the manufacturer's instructions and product label before use. Do not use a product labeled for dogs on cats or vice versa. Advantage II is harmful to humans if swallowed and can cause moderate eye irritation. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water after handling this product.
Talk to your veterinarian before using Advantage II on your dog or cat if they are medicated, debilitated, pregnant, nursing, or aged. There may be unexpected interactions. If irritation at the site of application persists, seek veterinary care.
Do not use or store near heat or open flames. Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage and disposal. Keep unused Advantage II applicators in the original container only, and keep them out of reach of children and animals. Never place unused product down any indoor or outdoor drain.
What is Advantage II and how does it work?
Advantage II is a monthly, topical flea preventative for dogs older than 7 weeks of age and cats older than 8 weeks of age. You apply it to your pet's skin every 30 days where its two ingredients--imidacloprid and pyriproxyfen--go to work killing adult fleas, larvae, and eggs. This product also treats chewing lice on dogs. The oils in your pet's hair and skin distribute Advantage II all over your pet's body for one month.
Advantage II does not kill ticks. For tick control, consider collars like Preventic for Dogs.
What are the side effects?
Individual sensitivities are rare, and may occur after using any pesticide product. If signs persist or worsen of the next few days after application, seek immediate veterinary care. If your pet has an unusual reaction to the initial application of Advantage II, check with your veterinarian before using the product again. Certain medications can interact with Advantage II, so consult your veterinarian before using this product if your pet is on medications, aged, debilitated, pregnant, or nursing.
What should I do if my pet is showing signs of an overdose?
Seek veterinary care immediately if you suspect an overdose in your pet.
Does this product need a prescription?
No. Advantage II is an over-the-counter flea control product.
Is this product the same as Advantage Multi or K9 Advantix II?
No. Advantage II offers flea control for dogs and cats. Advantage Multi is made by Bayer also, but it requires a veterinary prescription. It contains moxidectrin instead of pyriproxyfen, and is formulated to prevent heartworm disease and kill adult fleas.
K9 Advantix II is a flea and tick control product from the makers of Advantage II, but it is for dogs only. It contains imidacloprid and pyriproxyfen like Advantage II, but it also has permethrin.

Ask your veterinarian before using Advantage II on pets that are on medication, aged, debilitated, pregnant, or nursing.
I've already used Frontline Plus, K9 Advantix, Revolution, or some other flea control product on my pet. Can I use Advantage II as well?
Consult your veterinarian before using another flea preventative. Do not mix and match products without instructions from your pet's veterinarian.
Can I use Advantage II with Trifexis?
While Trifexis is used to protect against heartworms, it also offers protection against fleas. You should consult your veterinarian before giving your pet Trifexis with Advantage II or before switching your pet to or from Trifexis. Do not combine flea, tick, or heartworm preventatives without your veterinarian's explicit instructions.
Can Advantage II be used with Diatomaceous Earth?
Diatomaceous Earth is a non-toxic mineral made from finely ground fossils that is fed to animals to control internal parasites. You should consult your veterinarian before using it and Advantage II together.
How does Advantage II kill fleas before they can lay eggs?
Adult fleas require 24 to 36 hours on your pet before they can lay eggs. Advantage II kills fleas within 12 hours of application, so the parasites die before they can lay eggs.
Why do I still see active fleas on my pet after I've applied Advantage II?
The imidacloprid in Advantage II overstimulates the fleas' nervous systems, which ultimately kills them. As they die, they rise to the top of your pet's haircoat.
Why are there still fleas in my home? I already treated my pets with Advantage II.
Immature fleas can remain dormant in carpets, bedding, and other areas of your home for a long time, and approximately only 5% of the flea population found in a home are adult fleas. When conditions are right, they can develop and infest your home. Using Advantage II helps break the life cycle of any flea that jumps on your pet. But to kill those that remain in your home, you may need to use an indoor flea control product like an Adams Plus Fogger or a Virbac Knockout ES Area Treatment.
Is this product waterproof?
Yes. Advantage II is still effective even after swimming or bathing. Wait 24 hours after applying Advantage II before letting your pet get wet.
How long do I need to wait after applying Advantage II before bathing my pet?
Make sure to wait 24 hours after applying Advantage II before allowing your pet to get wet, either via bathing or swimming. If you need to apply it right after a bath, make sure your pet is completely dry first.
Does Advantage II kill any other pests like ticks, bed bugs, or mosquitoes?
Advantage II is only effective against fleas, flea eggs, and larvae on dogs and cats. Advantage II also treats chewing lice infestations on dogs. It does not kill or repel ticks, bed bugs, or mosquitoes.
Does Advantage II for Dogs & Cats treat ear mites?
Advantage II does not treat ear mites in dogs and cats. Consider trying products like Sentry HC Earmite Free or Otomite Plus to clear up your pet's ear mites.
Can I use Advantage II on other animals?
No. Only use Advantage II on the species on the packaging. Do not use a canine Advantage II product on a cat because the formulas are calibrated by species and weight. A dog product may cause an overdose if used on a cat.
Can I use this product on myself to treat fleas?
Advantage II is for cats and dogs only. Do not use on humans.
Can I re-apply Advantage II more often than every 30 days?
The manufacturer notes that in cases of severe flea infestations, you may retreat with Advantage II before the 30 day interval is up. However, do not retreat more often than once every 7 days. Once the severe infestation is controlled, resume monthly applications.
What if my dog is still growing? Can I give them a higher dose?
You should ask your veterinarian about what Advantage II product they'd recommend for your pet. If you use a product that is for dogs that weigh more than your pet currently does, it could result in an overdose.
Do I need to use a flea preventative year-round, even during winter?
Fleas are a threat to your pet all year. Flea pupae are able to survive very cold conditions, and fleas are able to hide in cracks and corners in your home. It only takes one of those fleas laying eggs to begin a new infestation. It's simpler and safer for you, your family, and your pets to use Advantage II or another flea preventative all year.
Does Advantage II expire?
Advantage II does not have an expiration date as long as you store unused containers in their original packaging and at room temperature.
Can Advantage II make my pets drowsy?
Drowsiness is not one of the reported potential side effects. Consult with your veterinarian.
