Best keyboard I have used
Reviewed by Don. Review Posted 24/07/2008
I have small hands and work as a designer/programmer. I also type very fast. I wanted to get away from the fancy Microsoft and Logitech keyboards and look for something simple and practical. As I started typing, it felt just right. It is very comfortable. There is a solid but smooth motion in the key pressing. The layout is low profile but not as light as a laptop keyboard. Don't be deceived by the 20% larger keys, the surface of the keys are just flatter than ordinary keyboards. I'll have to disagree on the previous reviewers as typing is near silent.
The keyboard offers some custom keys. The volume and mute buttons are positioned below the spacebar and cursors but the media keys are flat so you wouldn't press them by accident.
I also have to mention that Windows XP automatically detects your keyboard and its custom keys so no need to install drivers and bloated software. Bravo to Cherry. I highly recommend everyone try out this keyboard.

Awesome, but noisey
Reviewed by Gez. Review Posted 20/03/2008
This keyboard was far cheaper than my previous keyboard (G15), I bought it on recommendation from a friend.
For typing it is amazing, nice feel to it in my opinion. However I do have to agree with the other reviewer 2 of us in my house have this keyboard and with us both typing a large amount of the time I sometimes find my other house mates shaking in a corner somewhere due to the noise. This however doesn't bother me of course! I have split a few things on it, not out of testing, Orange Juice, Beer, Coffee and lots of cigarette ash. Each and every time a quick wipe and a shake and its fine.

Fine but not coffee proof
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 01/06/2009
The keyboard is nice, but I have just found from experience that it is not coffee proof! One spillage has resulted in the loss of my semi-colon. I have come back to buy another however.
I can only imagine that the other reviewers are reviewing a different keyboard when they refer to the noise, I simply cannot understand to what they might be talking about.

Almost as good as IBM
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 17/02/2010
I have never found a perfect substitute for the old IBM keyboards, but the Cherry CyMotion comes close. It has a similar feel and comfort to them, but is not nearly as robust, unfortunately. However, if you don't drop it on it the floor and clean it regularly, the Cymotion gives grand service. You can't argue with the price, either!
I will certainly buy another

Tough but too noisy for home use
Reviewed by Chris. Review Posted 23/11/2005
This keyboard sounded good - not too cheap, not too pricey. It is very well made, solid, with little flex. Looks smart. No connection probs. Comes with USB->PS2 converter.
Cherry have added another modifier key between the left Windows and control keys to access the secondary functions attached to the F keys. This reduces the space available for the other modifier keys, and, in my opinion, gets in the way. Otherwise the keyboard layout cannot be faulted.
What you really have to watch out for though is the key action. It's very noisy and clunky, with the key making a definite clunk as it springs back. On a wooden desk this keyboard makes a racket! Even with some foam underneath to dampen the noise the key action itself is still very loud - definitely audible in the next room.
Another point which may sound petty unless you've experienced it yourself; the caps/number lock LEDs are *very* bright, almost dazzling.
I get the feeling this keyboard was designed for point-of-sal

Stark County commissioners will meet Friday to approve the bonds newly appointed Sheriff George Maier needs to officially take office.
A bond guarantees that public funds, up to the bond amount, are protected. All county officials must have one before taking office.
The meeting will begin at 11 a.m. in the commissioners' board room on the second floor of the Stark County Office Building.
Maier, who served as county sheriff from Feb. 5 to Nov. 6, was reappointed as sheriff Wednesday by the Stark County Democratic Central Committee.

Sweetgrass, an Ashland-based band with original music that blends breezy Hawaiian melodies and harmonies with rootsy bluegrass, will perform at 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18, at Club 66, 1951 Ashland St. The cover costs $5.
"The band has about 20 original songs," says Ben Gaskin, principal songwriter, vocalist and ukulele player. "We do a couple of covers. One is an old, Calypso-style tune called 'The Big Bamboo.' It's a sing-along I learned from my neighbors while I lived in Hawaii. The other is 'You Don't Write' by the Ka'au Crater Boys."
Gaskin has another 25 or so older originals to his credit.
"I want to focus on new songs for this band," he says. "Life keeps unfolding."
Gaskin lived on Kauai for nine years, where he learned to play guitar and ukulele. Before that, he lived in Colorado for 10 years.
The result of his chosen demography resulted in a sound rooted in bluegrass with an island twist.
Sweetgrass features Frankie Hernandez on djembe, trumpet and vocals, lead guitarist Anthony Cuzensa, bassist Robbie Lindauer and Chari Weatherford on washboard.
"I write songs on guitar or ukulele," Gaskin says. "I'm always surprised at the level that my talented bandmates can take them to."

The Mississippi State Department of Health reported Tuesday that there are three new cases of West Nile virus in the state. That makes the total count to 29 with two deaths.
The new cases are in Leflore, Neshoba and Rankin counties. The MSDH reports both confirmed and probable cases to the public.
Since July 2009, WNV cases have been reported in Clay, DeSoto, Forrest (6), Harrison (5), Hinds (4), Lamar, Lee (2), Leflore, Marion, Monroe, Neshoba, Rankin (3) and Washington (2) counties.
Two cases of St. Louis encephalitis have been reported in Forrest County. The Board of Animal Health has reported one case of WNV in a horse.
The MSDH conducts statewide mosquito testing with its most intensive surveillance during the peak WNV mosquito reproduction months of July, August and September.
To date, seven mosquito samples have tested positive for WNV, four in Harrison County and one each in Hinds, Jackson and Washington counties. It is important to remember that mosquito-borne diseases, including WNV, occur statewide and throughout the year.
The health department encourages Mississippians to take the following precautions to reduce the risk of contracting WNV and other mosquito-borne illnesses: remove sources of standing water, avoid mosquito-prone areas, especially between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active; wear protective clothing (such as long-sleeved shirts and pants) when in mosquito-prone areas; and apply a DEET-based mosquito repellent according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Symptoms of WNV infection are often mild and may include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, a rash, muscle weakness or swollen lymph nodes. In a small number of cases, infection can result in encephalitis or meningitis, which can lead to paralysis, coma and possibly death.

This show is going to be jam packed with randomness. We just did the rehearsal and we were jumping around onto each other's sets. But everyone is doing about 3 of their own songs so definitely don't attend for one specific artist. It's the full experience that matters. An incredible brass band will be on stage the whole time. I'm doing Waterline with them.

Crazy show. So much fucking fun.
I got to rock a song on stage with M1 from Dead Prez, Cody ChesnuTT, Shawn from DeVotchKa, Vernon from Living Coulor, DJ Spooky, Zach from Rogue Wave, and a few more.
I performed Waterline with Bonarama so there were a lot of trombones behind me. I also performed the full version of Can I Kick It which I haven't done in many, many years.
My favorite performer of the night was a guy named Sunpie. He had actually been a tour guide of sorts for all of the musicians who were part of this retreat. He earned his place as one of the top 5 most interesting and special people I've ever met.
New Orleans never fails us. Hopefully we never fail New Orleans again. So much rich culture.

I didnt get a chance to say hi to you, but I brought along four other people to the show and we all had a great time. That was really cool of you to get involved with charity stuff that benefits this area. I was familiar with the Gulf Restoration Network, but had not heard of Sweet Home Lousiana (I read up on them). In spite of the crime rate and tough economy in this area, the culture and people are what make me never want to leave. Its sad that the tourism industry benefits heavily off of the backs of musicians (selling a good time), but the musicians have to scrape by and struggle. Anyway, both good causes and its appreciated any time you can come down here and perform. That version of Waterline gave me the chills... Pretty psyched to see Cody Chesnutt, too. I've had his album since it came out years ago and its still one of my all time favorites. Curious to know how they chose the artists they did to come out.
My sister has got some pics of the show, so I will send you some when I get them from her. Might have video too, but you know how great iphone footage can be.
Sunpie was pretty incredible. He pulled some notes out of that harmonica I didnt think were possible. I even dug that soul singing duo, too.
Love to hear more about how the trip went.

Hepatitis Health Center
Vitamin B12 May Boost Hep C Treatment
July 17, 2012 -- Early research suggests that patients with chronic hepatitis C infections may improve their treatment response by also receiving vitamin B12.
Investigators say adding B12 to standard therapy may boost the body's ability to fight the virus, but an expert who spoke to WebMD remains skeptical.
B12 May Help Drugs Work Better
In the newly reported Italian study, previously untreated patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) who received vitamin B12 along with the drugs pegylated interferon and ribavirin were more likely to have undetectable levels of virus at 24 weeks after stopping treatment compared to patients who did not receive vitamin B12.
The study was small, with just 94 patients. Of those, 32 were genotype 1 patients treated with the vitamin. Genotype 1 is the most common strain in the U.S., and difficult to treat.
But the findings raise hopes that this inexpensive therapy may help HCV drugs work better in hard-to-treat patients, researcher Gerardo Nardone, MD, of the University of Naples, tells WebMD.
He says his research team hopes to conduct a much larger B12 supplementation study in hepatitis C patients.
3.2 Million in U.S. Infected With HCV
About 3.2 million people in the U.S. have chronic HCV infection, according to the CDC.
Without treatment, as many as 70% will develop liver disease and 20% will develop cirrhosis of the liver within two to three decades.
Until very recently, pegylated interferon along with ribavirin were the only drugs available to treat HCV.
The recent addition of a new class of drugs for patients with genotype 1 HCV has raised the rate of undetectable viral level to closer to 75%, says David Bernstein, MD, who is chief of hepatology at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y.
The new study, published in the journal Gut, included 94 patients with chronic HCV infections of genotypes 1, 2, and 3. They were treated with either pegylated interferon and ribavirin alone or the two drugs plus vitamin B12, given by injection every four weeks.
Patients with genotype 2 or 3 were treated for 24 weeks and patients with genotype 1 were treated for 48 weeks.

Definition of Byzantine in English:
1Relating to Byzantium, the Byzantine Empire, or the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Example sentences
- With the exception of the Maronites and Byzantine Italians, each Eastern church has its mirror image on both the Catholic and Orthodox side.
- An immense corpus of commentary grew up in Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine times around Dionysius' brief text.
- What you are seeing in these churches is a reflection of the long tradition of Eastern Christianity, in both its Orthodox Christian and Byzantine Catholic variants.
1.1Of an ornate artistic and architectural style that developed in the Byzantine Empire and spread especially to Italy and Russia. The art is generally rich and stylized (as in religious icons) and the architecture typified by many-domed, highly decorated churches.
Example sentences
- Other rooms have a distinctively oriental flavour; the Throne Room is decked out in ornate Byzantine style with a great domed blue ceiling covered with stars and a huge sunburst.
- Within the gallery, no explanation was given of how the Byzantine style or which Byzantine style arrived in northern Europe.
- The interior is therefore a shock: instead of Byzantine frescoes, an ornate altar at the west end and a mosaic floor, there is empty space.
2 (also byzantine) (Of a system or situation) excessively complicated, typically involving a great deal of administrative detail: Byzantine insurance regulations
More example sentences
- And because of a Byzantine system for handling receipts, it's difficult to track specific expenses.
- Protectionism, a lack of standards, and indifference toward backward and sideways thinking can create Byzantine systems that interfere with the user.
- The organisers have set up an extensive network of international art pavilions in record time, on a reduced budget and amidst a Byzantine bureaucracy.
2.1Characterized by deviousness or underhanded procedure: Byzantine intrigues he has the most Byzantine mind in politics
More example sentences
- This might normally have been the end of the matter but Nick, steeped in the Byzantine politics of the British ultra-left, thought there might be more to the excuse than first appeared.
- There were two Scots and one Irishman at very senior levels advising the bid team, being no strangers to the Byzantine politics of European football.
- It was in the face of these Byzantine internal politics that the four Scottish courses still in contention awoke yesterday morning to the erroneous news Celtic Manor had already been awarded the Cup.
A citizen of Byzantium or the Byzantine Empire.
Example sentences
- To the Italians, the Greek-speaking Byzantines were Greeks, like the Greek inhabitants of southern Italy.
- In the 6th century, when the Byzantines attempted to reconquer the Western Empire, a brief period of direct Byzantine trade with Britain seems to have occurred.
- Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, Vandals, Normans, Arabs, Turks, Spanish and French all laid their mark on the island.
- Example sentences
- Australian governance should never be allowed to descend into anything resembling the bureaucratic Byzantinism and indifference to the individual that are characteristic of less developed polities.
- German radical nationalists condemned courtly Byzantinism, and demanded the elevation of all parts of the nation to consultation and participation in national matters - paradoxically through a strong leader.
- But for this interest to make a positive contribution to the struggle there has to be a break with the negative side, the Byzantinism and the obtuseness.

As rumors continue to percolate about a new and exciting upgrade to Apple TV, the humble $99 device got a major bump this week in the publicity department.
After the online Apple Store was taken down temporarily Monday evening, the site returned with a brand new, and much more prominent, spot for the small box that enables users to buy and stream movies and other content over their television sets.
The revamped home page not only featured some lovely Valentine's Day offerings, but also offered a spanking new stage for the TV, which previously had been relegated to a sort of also-ran status.
Apple did not respond to a request for comment. But with speculation growing that Apple might be close to upgrading its TV, analysts and bloggers saw the website renovation as a sign that the new product might be just around the corner.
"TV is the next obvious area for a product upgrade and Apple has long been clear about its high level of interest in the category," said analyst John Jackson with IDC. "They've never really said anything about an iWatch or a gaming console, but they have been clear that while TV has been an experiment for them so far, they're keenly interested in it.
"This store remodel doesn't look like a coincidence to me," he said. "I think it's a nontrivial development."
The new section includes ways to connect with "knowledgeable specialists" who "are available to answer all your questions about Apple TV even before you're ready to buy." It has a phone number to call, a link to an online chat feature, and another link to Apple's brick-and-mortar stores. It also features an Apple TV Q&A with Apple's online community, where you can get all your questions about the product answered.
There's also information about how to set the device up, a breakdown of its specs, and even information on how to obtain an extended warranty.
As bloggers pointed out, Apple TV has traditionally been relegated to the shadows of the company's other flashier and sexier products, like the iPhone and iPad. Until this week's tweak, the TV inhabited a subcategory spot under the iPod, which according to CEO Tim Cook during this week's quarterly earnings conference call, is quickly becoming a vanishing act in the cavalcade of Apple products.
During the call, when an analyst tried to press Cook about a coming iteration of the Apple TV, he demurred, saying only that "we believe in innovation."

In "Reeling for the Empire," one of eight stories in Karen Russell's "Vampires in the Lemon Grove," a young woman in 19th-century Japan falls for the dubious charms of a "recruitment agent" and soon finds herself in a life-draining job in a silk factory.
This being Russell -- author of the wildly imaginative, gorgeously written "Swamplandia!" -- the young woman lands in the twilight zone, where each female factory employee becomes a "secret, furred and fleshy silk factory" who eats mulberry leaves and attaches herself to a machine that gathers the silk she secretes.
Like intrepid 13-year-old Ava in "Swamplandia!" many characters in these stories are simultaneously impatient to grow up and horrified by the changes they experience. Desire never brings peace. No matter how exciting, it is always troubling also.
In the story "The Seagull Army Descends on Strong Beach, 1979," for instance, a 14-year-old boy has a crush on a classmate -- only to see her take up with his older brother instead. He wants to be a good sport, but can't outrun his barely acknowledged hatred and lust.
In the title story, a vampire fails at trying to curb the craving for blood that prevents him from settling into a normal marriage, in which desire can be satisfied, rather than repressed.

DPS Coherence Plug-In: New Features
By arnaud on Dec 19, 2009
After having conversations on this plug-in both internally and with a handful of you out there, I sat down and added what I felt was the main missing features in my current implementation. This mainly covers security but also some flexibility.
Bird's Eye View
On the security front, you now have the ability to filter out attributes so they don't make it in the cache (e.g. userPassword). What's more, you can filter out what entries you don't want in the cache in order to avoid the cache to be polluted by the occasional non-production (e.g. administration) hits.
On the flexibility front, you can set a time to live for entries that do make it in the cache. This allows to control whether you want to retain a value forever in the cache (default) or you want to make sure that it gets evicted after a certain time. You can also provide a list of regular expressions for the Bind DN (the identity) you grant access to the cache. And of course, you can decide to inlcude (default) or exclude unauthenticated clients to access the cache as well.
The Meat
- attributeNotToCache: userPassword
- dnNotToCache: .\*,ou=secret,o=o
This attribute in the plugin's configuration entry can be multivalued and is not a regular expression but a plain string. Case, as always in LDAP, matters not. Any attribute name matching on of the provided values will be stripped from the entry before storing in Coherence.
This attribute can multivalued and allows to prevent DNs matching the regular expression to be stored in Coherence.
- cacheForBindDN: cn=[2-3],o=o
This is attribute can be multivalued. It is a regular expression. Any authenticated clients' Bind DN must match one of the provided regular expressions to be granted access to the contents stored in Coherence.
- cacheForAnonymous: false
This attribute is single valued. It is a boolean, either true or false. When false, unauthenticated clients will not be granted access to the contents stored in Coeherence and will therefore always hit the back-end.
- cacheExpirationInMS: 30000
This attribute is single valued. It is a long and represents the length of time in milliseconds that an entry should be kept in the cache after the last time it has been accessed.
So, in the end, here is an example configuration entry:
dn: cn=CoherencePlugin,cn=Plugins,cn=config
objectClass: top
objectClass: configEntry
objectClass: plugin
objectClass: extensibleObject
cn: CoherencePlugin
description: Oracle Coherence Cache Plugin
enabled: true
pluginClassName: com.sun.directory.proxy.extensions.CoherencePlugin
pluginType: preoperation search
pluginType: search result entry
pluginType: postoperation delete
pluginType: postoperation modify
pluginType: postoperation modify dn
cacheName: LDAPCache
attributeNotToCache: userpassword
attributeNotToCache: aci
dnNotToCache: .\*,ou=secret,o=o
dnNotToCache: .\*,cn=config
cacheForBindDN: cn=[2-3],o=o
cacheForBindDN: uid=user.[0-9]+,ou=People,o=o
cacheForAnonymous: false
cacheExpirationInMS: 30000
That's it for my Friday night, let me know if there is more than DPS+Coherence can do for you!
As always, if you want to try this DPS plug-in, ping me: arnaud -at- sun -dot- com

Three years ago, the city of Biloxi proposed to annex adjacent county land. Objectors intervened but eventually the Chancery Court of Harrison County approved the annexation.
Objectors appealed. The Mississippi Supreme Court supported the chancellor's finding.
The eight major issues that decided the Biloxi case will likely apply to Meridian.
Courts have also taken into consideration the impact of annexation, economic or otherwise, upon those who live or own property in the area; impact upon minority voting strength and whether residents of the proposed area are enjoying economic and social benefits from proximity to the municipality without paying their fair share of the taxes.
The city of Meridian has filed the necessary papers for annexation. Residents in the proposed annexation area have built a financial war chest to fight the action.
Local chancery court officials are expected to recuse themselves and an outside judge will likely be named to hear the case.
Nothing is likely to happen until Spring 2003. The case itself will probably not be heard until next summer or fall. Whichever side loses will probably appeal, all the way to the supreme court.

CV Rules & Myths
CV Rules & Myths - My Southampton Jobs
If you listen to some people they will tell you quite categorically that CVs should be written a particular way. However, if you listen to other people they will tell you in no uncertain terms that CVs should be written in a totally different way and include completely different things.
Everyone cant be right. If so, by definition some people are definitely wrong. Or are they? Well actually some people are wrong, but many who are wrong are in a sense right, albeit somewhat unwittingly. If this isnt confusing enough some people are also right but for the wrong reason!
The truth of the matter is that there are not as many cast iron rules about to CV writing as people think. In fact there are several myths, and if you follow these myths rather than common sense then the quality of your CV may suffer.
One such myth is page length, but there are several others too.
Please click on the page length link for some elaboration on this point. The main thing is to not be fooled into writing your CV purely on the basis of a myth, but to use your common sense, or to ask a professional if you are unsure. Whilst there is some disagreement about various aspects of CVs, there is at least some general agreement about some aspects.
For example, almost everyone recommends that you should tell the truth in your CV. This is very good advice. It is generally recommended that you do not include negatives in your CV. Similarly it is recommended that you omit any humour from your CV.
You should be aware however, that some perceived rules are in fact myths. Consequently, you should take a common sense approach or seek professional advice if you are unsure.
Minor Details
You need to be very careful about every single aspect of your CV. Something as simple as an e-mail address may cost you a job.
E.g. employers prefer formal CVs, this includes email addresses. Some people applying for formal jobs miss out because the use silly, crude, or comical e-mail addresses. If you have such an e-mail address then please remember to change it to a more formal format such as email@example.com before you apply for a job.
If in doubt you should get your CV checked out professionally before you distribute it.

John Lewis Smashes Christmas Sales Record
John Lewis, the store of choice for millions of middle-class shoppers, reported record breaking Christmas sales Wednesday.
The department store said in the five weeks to Dec. 29 total sales were up 14.8% to £684.8 million, with sales from stores open a year up 13%. The record-breaker came in the last week before Christmas when the tills rang up £157.8 million, a rise of 26.5% on the previous year.
To some extent, this reflects a wider trend across the retail sector where shoppers held out for better bargains, loosening their purse strings only at the very last moment.
John Lewis's record-breaking festive takings may seem to offer a glimmer of hope to the beleaguered retail sector as we await this year's barrage of trading updates. But don't crack open the last of the Christmas sherry yet.
John Lewis is a partnership that ploughs much of its profit back into the business after generously rewarding its staff, and it has an enviable reputation for excellent customer service, no doubt in part because of its remuneration policy (no profit, no bonus is a fabulous motivator).
John Lewis also has a Never Knowingly Undersold price-matching policy and the decades-old guarantee is a bedrock of the department store's price proposition. Matching prices in a competitive environment can be costly–department store profits in the first half of 2011 collapsed as it invested heavily in its stores and matched rivals' fiercely competitive prices. It wasn't down for long, with profits sharply up for the first half of 2012 after a boost from the Jubilee and the run-up to the Olympics.
But IHS Global Insight economist Howard Archer cautions that "in considering the John Lewis figures, it must be borne in mind that the partnership has been very much an outperformer in the retail sector for an extended period, and the reality is that its customers have typically been better placed to withstand the pressures on consumers."
After a slow start and a wait-and-see consumer attitude all retailers needed a very strong sales surge to make up the shortfall and it remains to be seen if last-minute shoppers splashed the cash elsewhere on the high street.
"It appears unlikely that the Christmas sales will have been any more than adequate overall for retailers, as so much ground will have had to be made up for the slow start," Mr. Archer said. "And for those retailers that have lifted their sales late on due to increased discounting and promotions, a key question is just how big a hit have their margins taken?"

Thursday's letters: Looming disaster
Published: Thursday, November 1, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 4:34 p.m.
To the editor: Many recent Times-News letters have lauded the virtues of Obamacare. As a former hospital administrator, I can unequivocally state that if fully enacted, Obamacare would be the greatest unnatural disaster in our countrys history.
Case in point is the lowering of prescription drug costs. For every $500 that Obamacare spends on prescription drugs and preventative services, the law cuts other Medicare spending by $7,500, according to Investors Business Daily. Obama says that $768 billion in cuts makes Medicare stronger. Not true!
Medicare Advantage programs would lose more than $156 billion. By 2017, enrollment in Medicare Advantage will be lower by 50 percent, and the average senior will lose $3,714 in health care services with larger losses looming.
Most of the cuts to the Medicare program $415 billion over the next 10 years come in the form of updates to fee-for-service payment rates. This simply means cuts Medicare will make to hospitals, nursing homes, doctors and other providers of health care services.
Furthermore, Stephen Rattner, a former Barack Obama adviser, has called for health care rationing to prudently slow the exploding cost of Medicare and avoid swamping the federal budget.
Sarah Palin has been vindicated.
Ken Rash
Just the Joker
To the editor: Some observations after watching three presidential debates:
First debate: President Barack Obama is largely a no-show. Super-Mitt Romney runs so quickly from his Republican Party platform, his vice presidential candidates stated positions and his own rhetoric over the past year that he earns the title faster than a speeding bullet.
Second debate: The Mitt of Steel, faced with a prepared and articulate president, attempts to leap tall Obamas with a single bound. The attempt fails.
Third debate: On the subject of foreign policy, Mitt, now in his secret identity of Mitt Romney, attempts to prove hes from another planet concerning international affairs. This is a smashing success.
The obvious conclusion is that, having failed to be Superman, Mitt Romney must be content with being the Joker, or maybe just another snake-oil salesman.
President Obama has earned your vote.
While youre voting, also consider Hayden Rogers, a lifelong resident of Western North Carolina, for U.S. Congress. Mark Meadows offers only gridlock with no workable solutions. Hayden will work for us in Washington to get things done.
Finally, know this: If you are on Medicaid, Medicare or Social Security, neither Romney nor Meadows is your friend. They think you are the 47 percent.
Gary Gilchrist
Mills River
The people lose
To the editor: So, who wins the debates? Lets find out. If you are one of the many with an underwater mortgage, you lost. The bank that conned you into a 100 percent-plus financing of inflated real estate won.
If you are trying to sell your home, and your Realtor has told you the market is improving but still is slow, you lost. The reason is simple, Case-Shiller notwithstanding. The real estate market has not cleared. Google Extend and Pretend. The banks won again.
If your pension fund invested in toxic mortgages marketed as triple-A securities hawked by Wall Streets finest, you lost. Yes, some of Wall Streets finest have been brought to trial, but under civil, not criminal, prosecutions. Washingtons mantra is Wall Street actions were unethical, but not illegal. Yet Martha Stewart went to jail for lying about a trade. Wall Streets still winning.
Your political party doesnt matter. Yes, one of two candidates will win, but it will be a Pyrrhic victory. At some point, the people will connect the dots and recognize the results of the collusion between Washington and Wall Street.
So who wins the debate? J.P. Morgan, Wells Fargo you know the names.

All the big guns were there.
High schools like McQueen, Damonte Ranch, Carson and Reed all brought their best runners to the Reed Sparks Rotary Invitational this past weekend, but South Tahoe and Whittell held their own. South Tahoe's Brandon Cramer, Connor Henderson, Jennifer Burks and Whittell's Mark Waite all placed in the top five.
"It was a big meet," said South Tahoe coach Jake Hurwitz. "There were a lot of big name schools, but I'm looking at our results and a lot of kids are getting sixth, seventh, eighth and 10th place. Most of the schools we were behind are 4A."
Cramer, a senior hurdler, was definitely a South Tahoe highlight. He won the 300-meter hurdles by nearly a full second. He also placed second in the 110-meter hurdles.
"Form is 100 percent of that race. He attacks the hurdles well, he's a smart kid and he's able to think ahead in the race," Hurwitz said. "His times are definitely competitive. He's even in the middle of the pack at the college level."
Cramer is currently the top Northern Nevada hurdler in the 300-meter.
Henderson dominated the 3200-meter race. The senior placed second overall in a field of 47 runners. He covered the two miles in 10 minutes and 18 seconds.
Henderson, along with Harley Norton, Jason Rogers and Dylan Maxwell, also make up the Vikings' distance medley relay team. The boys finished in the top 10, covering 1200, 400, 800 and 1600 meters.
Waite and Josh Welch turned in top results for the Whittell boys.
Waite shined in the distance runs, claiming third place in 1600-meter finals and 12th in the 13200-meter finals.
For the girls, South Tahoe's Jenny Burks and Karley Martinez led the way.
Martinez, a junior, ran a season-best mile, 5 minutes and 43 seconds, and 800 meter, 2 minutes and 37 seconds.
She's our top girl in distance and she's just doing very well," Hurwitz said.
Treat was not far behind. She ran the mile in 6 minutes and 2 seconds, and is hoping to break the 5-minute mark at the next meet.
"Emily Treat has been dropping 20 seconds or so a week," Hurwitz said.
Burks, a first-year runner, was fourth overall in the 300-meter hurdles.
"There's only one girl ahead of her from Yerington in our league, and Jenny's only about a second behind her," Hurwitz said. "For a first-year athlete she's had a great turnout."
Burks also took 21st overall in the 100-meter hurdles.
The distance relay team also deserves some credit. Martinez, Gabriela Vargas, Treat and Cara Filce also cruised in among the top 10 in the distance relay.
"All of the distance team is showing phenomenal improvement," Hurwitz said. "Their times are looking great, and they have a lot of personal records."
UP NEXT: South Tahoe and Whittell track teams will travel to the Fernley Invitational on Saturday, April 13.

Heating Tips
The tips below can help you conserve energy and save money on your energy bills.
Review our Heating FAQs for additional information. Or use our Thermostat Calculator to find out how much you can save by simply adjusting your thermostat.
Furnaces / Heat Pumps
- Check your furnace filter monthly and replace it when it appears dirty.
- Lower your thermostat temperature to the lowest temperature that is comfortable to your family. You may save as much as 3 percent on your energy bill for each degree you lower your thermostat. Reduce your thermostat setting at night and/or when you are away.
- The auto thermostat setting on central heating systems may save you money. However, if you can decrease your thermostat temperature by operating the fan in the on position, you may save even more money.
- If you have a heat pump, keep the outdoor unit clear of grass, leaves and especially drifting snow around the outdoor coil.
- Never switch a heat pump to the emergency heat setting on the thermostat, unless the unit is malfunctioning. This switch will turn off your energy efficient heat pump. Using only your backup electric furnace without the heat pump could double your heating costs.
- Keep your fireplace damper closed tightly when not in use.
- Consider installing doors over the fireplace opening to cut down on drafts and heat loss through the fireplace chimney.
- Do not use a fireplace during periods of extreme cold. Most fireplaces that are open to the living space will increase winter heating costs.
Around the House
- Seal air leaks with caulking, weather stripping and sheets of plastic on large areas. Air infiltration can account for one-half of your heating costs in a leaky home.
- Close and seal heat registers that attempt to heat a cold, uninsulated garage, porch, or attic storage room.
- Have a professional verify proper insulation levels in walls and ceilings and check to be sure it meets current standards or has not been damaged.
- Keep all windows and doors located near your thermostat closed tightly.
- Keep heat sources such as lamps, away from the thermostat.
- Keep draperies and shades open on sunny days but close them on cloudy days and at night.
- Keep all heating outlets and return-air grills free from obstructions, such as draperies, furniture or rugs. Clean these vents regularly with a vacuum or broom.
Attics / Crawl Spaces
- If you have ductwork in the attic or garage, be sure it is covered with at least 6 inches of insulation. Seal seams and joints in ductwork with duct sealing compound sold at hardware/home centers.
- If your home has a crawl space with air vents in the walls, close the vents and seal with insulation from the inside during the winter.
- Insulate basement and crawl space walls. If your basement or crawl space is a cold, unoccupied area, then the floor between the cold area and the living space should also be insulated.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - It was the third night since the Apres Ski Cocktail Classic made its commencement at the Westin in Snowmass, and at this point the majority was already five or more drinks in. Now it was time for a lucky few to make their way downstairs to the Snowmass Kitchen for an exclusive pairing dinner, where Chef Ronnie Sanchez and four of the country's top mixologists were preparing one of the most anticipated menus yet.
The private dining room sat only 24 guests among three tables. Guests were greeted at the door with a pre-dinner cocktail-a highball of freshly shaken juice and liquor poured over a couple cubes, garnished with a pick of Luxardo cherries. Mixologists Tony Abou Ganim, Steve Olson and Charlotte Voisey mingled with guests, thanking everyone for coming as they touched glasses in the air and toasted the evening's celebration.
Around 8:30 everyone had taken a seat as Iron Chef of America winner, author and renowned mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim introduced the first-course cocktail: "The Wizard," taken from his book, "The Modern Mixologist" and made up of Reyka vodka, yellow chartreuse, dry vermouth and orange bitters.
"I was given the menu first," he said. "From there it's my job to choose a drink to complement the flavors and accentuate the dish."
Also known as Aperitif, or a drink served before dinner to stimulate the appetite, "The Wizard," as he described offers small notes of chartreuse that works to bring out the lemon verbena served with Sanchez's seared scallops with seafood nage in the first course.
"Vodka so often gets lost in the drink," he said. "This cocktail is meant to celebrate the liquor and make it the star of the show."
Second in line was Charlotte Voisey, who mixed up a martini of Hendricks gin, fresh mandarin, strawberry, pineapple, citrus and arugula to be paired with a salad tossed in a juniper-grape vinaigrette and topped with Muscovy duck breast and a poached egg.
In the third course, where a slow roasted rack of elk was served over smoked fingerlings, toasted ancho and demi glace, Steve Olson stirred up a dangerous concoction of small batch bourbon and single village mescal with sweet vermouth, chocolate mole and orange bitters over one large cube.
"A lot of people think cocktail and food pairing is some kind of modern, new world idea," said Olson, recalling how matching cocktails with food is about as original and innovative as sticking an olive in a martini or a celery stick in a bloody mary.
"For centuries cocktails and booze have been served side by side, it's just a matter of interpreting it in a textural way," he said.
Finally, to bring the evening's dinner to its proper conclusion, event director and mixologist Kim Hassarud complemented a spiced tres leches cake with a single- barrel bourbon topped with organic coffee, hand-whipped cream and grated nutmeg.
"With the cocktail pairing dinner we were hoping to bring more awareness to a concept that has been around for centuries," said Hassarud. "You see a lot of wine pairing dinners out there, but for cocktails, with a world of ingredients that cleanse the palette every time, we knew we could bring something special to the table."
In the end, special was everything and more, as friends and strangers talked and laughed between one another with flushed faces, relishing in the tastes and flavors they enjoyed throughout the night and anticipating an opportunity to experience the Apres Ski Cocktail Classic for a second time next year.

A Vermont Senate committee has approved a bill that would remove criminal penalties for possession of up to an ounce of marijuana.
The bill, which was voted out of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, will now go before the full Senate.
The House passed the legislation last month.
Instead of a criminal penalty, those caught with up to an ounce of pot would face a civil fine like a traffic ticket of up to $300. It also seeks to reduce the chances that anyone caught with up to 2 ounces would have a permanent criminal record, and defines a new crime of driving while smoking marijuana.

Designer composting
Squeamish about composting indoors? Blanco, a German company, makes a stylish stainless-steel compost bucket for storing food scraps until you put them in the composter or compost pile. It's designed for embedding in your kitchen countertop, so there's no need for a container beside or beneath the sink, and the only thing visible is the metal lid. The list price is $525, but a quick Web check shows some retailers offering it for less than $300, plus shipping. Then there's NatureMill's sleek, stainless steel Ultra composter ($400). It uses about 50 cents' worth of electricity a month, the company says, and speeds decomposition by heating and turning the contents. NatureMill also takes both dairy and meat. It comes with sawdust pellets -- a "brown" carbon-rich substance to balance nitrogen-rich "greens"; when you toss in food scraps, you also add pellets and baking soda to neutralize food acidity and odors.

text: Don�t you love how Facebook only shows you want it thinks you want to see in your newsfeed when in reality you just want to see everything? I find it quite amusing that Facebook is purposely adding code to make life harder on the end user. Even if you add the fan page to an interest list or want to get notified on all updates, Facebook won�t show you the page in the newsfeed. Well, I hate to tell you Facebook but there�s a way around your little newsfeed algorithm, mobile ads, promoted post, and app suggestions by using 3rd party apps. These little apps strip all the nasty Facebook algorithm from your newsfeed leaving an unedited list of all the posts from your friends and fan pages. Yes, that�s right � you see everything. So now you must be wondering what 3rd party app to use? I use Facely HD on my iPhone. This app is almost a duplicate of Facebook�s app in look and feel but without the annoying algorithm. You can even update fan pages from this all in one app. When I want something a little different I use Flipboard, which turns my newsfeed in a magazine type format. If I want to schedule Facebook statuses quickly to multiple fan pages, I use Hootsuite, which can also be used to view the newsfeed � although it�s not very pretty. In the end you have to find the 3rd party app you like in the look and feel but try free version before you commit to buying a full version.

POSITION: Right Wing
SHOOTS: Right
BIRTHPLACE: Gothenburg, SWE
DRAFTED: OTT: 1994-133 overall
Calder Memorial Trophy (1)
King Clancy Memorial Trophy (1)
Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award (1)
|NHL All-Rookie Team (1996) Calder Memorial Trophy (1996) NHL Second All-Star Team (2006) King Clancy Memorial Trophy (2012) Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award (2013) Played in NHL All-Star Game (1996, 1997, 1998, 2004, 2008, 2012) Signed as a free agent by Frolunda (Sweden), November 10, 2004. Signed as a free agent by Detroit, July 5, 2013. Officially anounced his retirement, December 4, 2014.
|Daniel Alfredsson had never played for Sweden's national junior team, and the Ottawa Senators got a real bargain when they signed the 5-foot-11, 187 pound. right winger for $250,000 in 1995. For their modest investment the Senators got a Calder Trophy winner who was also named to the NHL's all-rookie team and was the only rookie in the league named to play in the All-Star Game. He was selected by Ottawa in the fifth round, 133rd overall, of the 1994 draft.
Alfredsson, 23 at the time, edged out Chicago Blackhawks winger Eric Daze, a star with Canada's gold medal-winning national junior team in 1995, and the Florida Panthers talented defenseman Ed Jovanovski in the voting to honor the leagues best first-year player. The Swedish debutante led all rookies in scoring with 25 goals and 61 points while appearing in all 82 regular season games. Czech-born defenseman Stanislav Neckar was the only other Ottawa player who did not miss a regular season game.
In his first NHL playoff series in 1997, Alfredsson led the Senators in scoring and scored two game-winning goals, though the Senators bowed to the Buffalo Sabres in a hard fought seven games. Then to prove that was no fluke, he scored seven goals in 11 playoff games in the 1998 post season, including three, first-period goals in a span of 12 minutes as the Senators defeated the Washington Capitals 4-3.
The Senators showed their respect for him when they named him captain of the team for the 1999-2000 season after Alexei Yashin, who wore the "C" the previous year, decided to sit out when the Ottawa club refused to renegotiate his contract.
Although Sweden failed to win a medal at the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, Japan, Alfredsson was one of the team's better performers, producing two goals and five points in four games.
Entering his six seasons with the Sens' in 2000-01, Alfredsson was starting to come into his own as one the top players in the league. Over the next four years he would accumulate over 70 points per season. In 2003-04, Alfredsson established a then-career high in points with 80 (32-48-80) good enough for seventh in the league, before helping Sweden capture a silver medal at the 2004 World Championships in Prague, Czech Republic. Daniel topped that accomplisnment by winning Olympic gold in 2006 and surpassing the 100-point plateau with 103 in 2005-06.
In 2006-07 Alfredsson's Senators rebounded from a disappointing early playoff exit in 2006 to win three playoff rounds and make it to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in Ottawa in 80 years. Alfredsson tallied 22 points in just 20 games during the post-season that year, however his club was easily defeated in five games by the Anaheim Ducks.
On October 22, 2010, the Senators' long-time captain and all-time leading scorer became just the 75th player in NHL history reach 1,000 career points.
Aside from his Olympic triumph in 2006 and participation at the 2010 games in Vancouver, Alfredsson has represented his homeland on numerous other occasions, including the World Championships and the World Cup of Hockey.
In 2012, the Senators' longtime captain received the King Clancy Memorial Trophy awarded to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community. Alfredsson contributed to the Ottawa community by leading the "You Know Who I Am" campaign for the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health. He also provided a suite for each Senators home game to the Boys & Girls Club of Ottawa and supported the "You Can Play" campaign, aimed at creating equality, respect and safety for all athletes without regard to sexual orientation.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, love is in the air here at Elevator Pitch. Whom better to profile this week than married venture capitalists Trae and Steve Vassallo?
Trae's a cleantech and consumer software investor at Kleiner Perkins, while Steve's at Foundation Capital -- where he invests in cleantech and consumer software! Does this make for uncomfortable pillow talk? Elevator Pitch tells all.
Q: How'd you get into this racket?
Steve: My parents will tell you my engineering career was somewhat preordained by the Lego truck I built at age 11 with a four-speed transmission and fully articulating suspension. I really started my career as an engineer and product leader at IDEO, where I was fortunate to lead projects including Cisco's now ubiquitous VoIP family of phones (you may have seen them in the headquarters of Jack Bauer's Counter Terrorist Unit on TV).
After IDEO, I led engineering at two companies, Immersion and Ning. My early adventures taught me a lot about the entrepreneur's journey and inspired real admiration for those who are trying to change the world. Eventually it led me to Foundation Capital.
Trae: Following my gut, listening to smart people and taking smart, calculated risks all contributed to where I am today.
I'm grateful to an amazing set of mentors who were key along the way. Dennis Boyle hired me at IDEO, then tasked me with engineering the Palm V. Donna Dubinsky and Jeff Hawkins inspired me to go to business school to become an entrepreneur. Professor Andy Grove introduced me to John Doerr, who introduced me to my co-founders at Good Technology.
John later invited me to join KPCB as an entrepreneur in residence, and I worked my way up over 10 years to general partner.
Q: What kinds of pitches are you looking for now?
Steve: In some cases I invest behind a thesis. Back in 2008, I met two brilliant entrepreneurs who were reinventing the way residential solar systems should be sold. Today, Sunrun is a leading provider of residential "solar as a service," through which they're giving homeowners the power to become their own electric company.
In other cases, I invest more opportunistically. I believe the best investors walk a fine line between having a point of view and having an open mind.
Trae: I particularly enjoy opportunities where I have some unique insight to offer, whether it's my experience in smart connected devices or my point of view as a geeky working mother of three. I love beta testing new technology and have turned our house into a living laboratory. I expect to see the home be dramatically transformed with technology in the coming years. This includes how we manage the diminishing line between work and home.
A few years ago, it was simply too hard to put anything technologically complex into the house, where you have no IT group to fall back on. With today's intelligent devices, the hardest issue is connecting to the network.
Q: What's the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make?
Steve: The first is asking me to forward their business plan to my wife ...
In seriousness, three things come to mind. When it comes to products, it's a mistake to try to do too many things. I've always found that success for startups is about doing one thing 1,000 times better than everyone else.
Entrepreneurs invent the future, so by nature it's hard to get people to see that future. That's why you've got to always be selling: Selling recruits, selling investors, selling customers.
And then perhaps the biggest mistake: choosing the wrong partner. Without partners and investors who have the same value systems and want the same things, your journey is likely to be nasty, brutish and short.
Trae: Great entrepreneurs must be great storytellers. I often meet entrepreneurs who are too literal. For example, when describing their product, they focus on describing key features in great detail. A good entrepreneur needs to inspire. This often means taking a step back and focusing on the bigger picture.
Q: What's the next big thing going to be?
Steve: Everything is up for grabs. Four years ago, who would have predicted that the taxicab experience would be reinvented? So the only honest answer I can give is that I'm optimistic that there is more than one next big thing, and I'm eager to find it (before my wife does).
Trae: The computing revolution is not stopping at the mobile phone. The smartphone technology stack is being further miniaturized, commoditized and embedded into many different important objects in our lives, from smart cameras and thermostats to wearable devices.
Today, I have iPhone apps that give me more control and insight into our cars, our dog, our kids and our house. This trend not only affects the home and family life but also the enterprise. Smart buildings, smart homes, smart cars are becoming a reality.
Q: You guys essentially cover the same investment areas for competing firms. Do you have 'his' and 'hers' secure Wi-Fi networks at home?
Steve: We've got three amazing kids who serve as a terrific forcing function to not talk about work at home.
Trae: That said, this industry is co-opetive: we compete and we cooperate. I was able to source Silver Spring Networks through my relationship with Steve and his team. And we still laugh about competing over Opower; we had a sneaking suspicion that we were both engaged, based on the mystery trips back East.
At any one time, our focus areas tend to be slightly different. Though I did recently reach out to a company to suggest a meeting, and the CEO responded that my husband had just invested.
Q: How did you two meet?
Steve: By the dull glow of the oscilloscope in our electronics lab at Stanford. And then many "dates" to pick up transistors at Fry's. Total nerd love.
Trae: For a recent anniversary, I actually gave Steve one of the exact oscilloscopes from that lab.
Since Stanford, we have had surprisingly similar career trajectories. We both worked at IDEO, then went to Stanford Business School (at different times), and we both helped start companies. We got married and had our first child before either of us ended up in venture.
And while I was in venture first, I did not lure Steve up to see some term sheets.

6 Ways to Retire Without a Mortgage
There are several smart ways to retire without a mortgage. We've come up with six that fit a variety of retirement scenarios. Some approaches benefit from an early start -- so if you are able, try to plan ahead. Other mortgage-free-retirement options can be put into effect even if you're close to collecting Social Security.
Some retirees don't mind a mortgage, be it for the tax write-off or to prevent too much money being tied up in home equity. But if your goal is the peace of mind that comes with paying off your loan before you reach retirement, check out these six ways to retire without a mortgage.

Make Extra Mortgage Payments
A little extra goes a long way. A $200,000 mortgage at 6% over 30 years works out to a monthly payment of about $1,200 (excluding taxes and insurance). You'll pay just over $231,000 in interest alone. But put an extra $100 a month toward the same mortgage and you'll save nearly $50,000 in interest and retire the loan five and a half years early.

Refinance Your Mortgage
To pay off your mortgage early via refinancing, you'll need to switch to a shorter-term loan. In 2011, a popular refi option for homeowners who weren't underwater was going from a 30-year mortgage to a 15-year loan. Let's say you have 25 years left on a 30-year mortgage at 6% and still owe $175,000. You'd pay about $163,000 in interest over the remaining quarter century. For just $167 more per month, plus one-time closing costs, you could refinance to a 15-year mortgage at 4% and save $105,000 in interest. And, of course, you'd be mortgage-free a decade earlier.

Downsize Your Home
The beauty of downsizing to a smaller home in the same area is that you don't need to say goodbye to your friends, family and community. Of course, beauty can also be found in the fact that you might be able to pay cash for your new abode. That means no mortgage.
And don't limit your notion of downsizing. Just because you spent the past 30 years in a traditional ranch doesn't mean you need to purchase another ranch with less square footage. Check out conventional alternatives (condos, townhouses) as well as unconventional options (houseboats, RVs and even tiny homes). Downsize Your Home

Relocate to a Cheaper City
Home prices aren't the only factor. Consider property taxes and homeowners insurance premiums as well. Both affect the overall affordability of a home. In New Jersey, for example, property taxes and insurance premiums combined average $7,270. You'd pay just $1,444 in, say, Kentucky, one of the ten most tax-friendly states for retirees. Some state and local governments reduce or even waive property taxes for residents 65 and older.
Feeling adventurous? You might be able to pay even less for a home and enjoy lower living expenses if you retire overseas. Look into bargain-priced and retiree-welcoming countries such as Belize, Mexico, Panama and Vietnam. Relocate to a Cheaper City

Get a Roommate
The benefits to your bottom line extend beyond the mortgage. Rental income can help defray the cost of utilities -- gas, electricity, phone, cable, Internet -- and maintenance. Annual upkeep on a typical three-bedroom, two-bath detached home runs $7,910, on average, according to Homewyse.com, a homeownership Web site. As a bonus, a roommate can help with chores, providing a welcome respite for any homeowner weary of doing dishes and dusting bookshelves alone. Get a Roommate

Rent Instead of Owning
Among the advantages of renting in retirement: no lawn to mow; no leaky roof to replace; no property taxes to pay; no assets tied up in illiquid real estate; and no residential albatross around your neck preventing you from moving around as you wish. You can even save on little things, such as insurance. The average annual premium for renters insurance is $176, compared with $791 for homeowners insurance. As for losing the ability to deduct the interest you pay on your mortgage -- a popular argument in favor of homeownership -- keep in mind that the amount of interest due declines over time, so later in the life of a mortgage there is less and less interest to write off.
The single biggest risk of renting in retirement instead of owning is that you might run out of money to pay the rent. If you own a home, by contrast, you could probably resort to a reverse mortgage when savings dry up. This is a legitimate concern, and one that you should address with your financial adviser. A well-structured portfolio can provide a reliable income stream deep into retirement. A part-time job can also stretch your nest egg. Rent Instead of Owning

Starkville, MS - The University of Georgia volleyball team picked up its first Southeastern Conference win with a 3-1 (24-26, 25-13, 25-20, 25-23) win over Mississippi State on Sunday afternoon in Starkville, Miss. With the win, the Bulldogs improve to 7-4 on the season and 1-1 in the SEC. Mississippi State drops to 4-7 overall and 0-2 in league action.
"We had a tough match on Friday night, but I am really proud of this team for rebounding today against Mississippi State," head coach Lizzy Stemke said. "Any win on the road in the SEC is a great one. We fought really hard coming off of a tough loss on Friday and were able to get back on track with some of the key points that we've committed to this season. We were really tough from the service line and incredibly deep and disciplined with our defense. It was great to see us bounce back and get back on track and we are looking forward to playing at home this weekend."
Tirah Le'au and Briana Bahr each finished with a match-high 16 kills, as each hit over .300 at .314 and .448, respectively. Brittany Northcutt earned her second double-double of the season, finishing with 11 kills and 19 digs. Kaylee Kehoe and Maggie Baumert split time at setter, finishing with 30 and 21 assists. The Bulldogs were particularly effective from the service line, finishing with six aces, including three from Jasmine Eatmon and two from Northcutt.
Elena Perri led the team defensively, finishing with six blocks, while Lauren Teknipp and Bahr added four blocks each.
After falling 26-24 in a hard-fought first set, Georgia rebounded by winning the next three sets to take the match. Georgia and Mississippi State kept it close in the opening points of set two, tying five times before an Eatmon kill sparked an eight-point run that put the Bulldogs on top 17-9. During the run, Eatmon recorded two aces and two kills. Following an MSU timeout, the teams traded points until back-to-back Georgia kills put the Bulldogs up 21-11. Georgia scored the final three points of the match, including the set-winner on a block by Teknipp and Eatmon to seal the set 25-13 and even the match at 1-1.
Georgia raced out to a 7-2 lead in the third set before MSU fought back to within three at 9-6. A pair of Georgia kills forced MSU to call a timeout with Georgia leading 14-9. A kill by Perri ignited a 3-0 run that extended Georgia's lead to 18-10, forcing MSU to use its second timeout of the set. MSU scored three-straight to bring the score to 24-20, but Northcutt finished the set with a kill that gave Georgia a 25-20 win.
Behind the serve of Kehoe, the Bulldogs pulled out to a 5-0 lead in the fourth set, before MSU scored five-straight to tie the set a five. The teams kept the set close before a 5-0 Mississippi State run allowed it to take a 12-8 lead. Georgia answered with a run of its own that brought the score within one at 14-13. With Kehoe at the service line, Georgia was able to regain a 17-15 lead. The teams tied four times before a pair of Le'au kills sealed the set 25-23 and the match 3-1.
Georgia returns home on Friday in a 7 p.m., match against the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Ramsey Student Center. Georgia will take on Arkansas on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.

U.S. Sens. Dianne Feinstein of California and Ron Wyden of Oregon share a number of bullet points on their résumés.
Both are Democrats who grew up in Northern California (Feinstein in San Francisco, Wyden in Palo Alto). Both graduated from Stanford. Both serve on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
On questions of surveillance by the federal government, however, they might as well inhabit different planets.
As revelations spill forth about how much data the government secretly gathers, Feinstein has emerged as chief defender of the national security state. Wyden remains one of its staunchest critics.
In recent years, Wyden and his soul mate on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mark Udall, have sounded cryptic alarms about government intrusion.
"I acted in every possible way short of leaking classified information,'' he told The New York Times last week.
Meanwhile, Feinstein, the chairwoman of the committee, jumped to defend the government's secret harvesting of telephone and Internet records.
"We're always open to change, but that doesn't mean that there will be any,'' she said. In politics, that's code for sit down and shut up.
Why the difference? Temperament counts. Feinstein, the daughter of a surgeon and one of the Senate's first powerful women, revels in her role as insider. The writer David Talbot once described her as having a "Big Nurse'' personality. It's not inaccurate.
Wyden, the son of a journalist, doesn't mind being a maverick. When Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., filibustered in March over the government's rules for use of drones, Wyden joined in his protest.
Let me suggest two other contributing factors. One reflects a generational chasm. The second has to do with the searing event that provided the crucible for Feinstein's political career.
Adage says that if you want to know someone's politics, look at the newspaper headlines from the time they were 20. Feinstein, now 79, came to maturity during the Dwight Eisenhower years, a time of respect for government.
Wyden, 64, graduated from college in 1971, when Richard Nixon was president, the Vietnam War was raging, and distrust of government was soaring. I graduated that same year. It left a birthmark of skepticism toward authority.
Later that decade, a bad one on so many counts, Feinstein became mayor of San Francisco after ex-Supervisor Dan White killed Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone.
That tragedy offered Feinstein a visible path to leadership but laid down its own imprint. If you think of White as an early author of terror, it's not hard to see why Feinstein fiercely defends a national security state.
That doesn't make her right. Wyden has a better purchase on the truth. But it helps explain why the two live on different planets.

SANTA CLARA -- Much-missed wide receiver Michael Crabtree might be on the verge of being game-ready, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday at his weekly press conference.
Asked if Crabtree was close to returning to game action, Harbaugh said, "I think so. I think he's close."
Harbaugh did not rule out the possibility that Crabtree could play in next Monday night's game at Washington
"We'll see, a lot of it's going to depend on him getting out there every day, practicing and see how much of a load he can do," Harbaugh said.

I would say I am selfish about meat. I like to eat food that tastes good to me. I hate far too many vegetables, to my discredit.
I mean...what do vegans eat? Are there any vegans who don't like vegetables? I mean it's not even an issue of just not liking it, there are some vegetables that make me gag and/or throw up.
And according to my english proffessor there is a diffrence between Midget and Dwarf. I made the same mistake as far as thinking they were interchangable.
And Paul Barman fucks up Masta Ace's Disposable Arts album for me--otherwise I would never have to hit the skip button.
"I'm just practicing my freesties..." Barman is a clown, and not in a good clown way--more of a making a mockery of things and not knowing he is. . .
let's see...I think that's most of the threads in here...Oh..and what Shane said made me laugh(the thing with the corporate sabotage).

dude. i went to the little people of america web site. under the section frequently asked questions, they say that the term midget refers to a more proportional dwarf. the site also stated that the term was coined when side shows were big business. therefore the term midget has negative associations for little people.
i'm going to believe the little people.
p.s. i like to eat meat, but as a rule i stay away from little people.

dork is hilarious
always manages to make me laugh my ass off...shit (and yeah, the technical term is dwarfism, it is a genetic condition whose precise name i can almost remember. midgets are generally refered to as smaller people who do not have this genetic condition)
meat tastes good. taste is an evolutionary trait. things taste good because they are of value nutritionally (i mean how the calories can be used for survival) sugar is very good, animal fat is very good, meat is very good, but as someone previously stated, the ability of primates to find and consume those types of things is usually rare (which also contributes to why they taste so good) so it digests differently and when you eat too much of any of these things they are bad for you.
that being said, a high meat diet is extremely wasteful, the best argument a vegetarian has ever said to me was that for every serving of beef you could feed 400 people with the grain consumed by that cow. But i like beef, it is tasty and it is ok to eat it occasionaly.
on another note, i grew up in a rural area, have been to the chicken "ranch" where they kill 900,000 chickens a day, reprocess the feathers, bones, feet and skin and refeed it to the other chickens...i have seen veal pens and just like cartman said, those tortured little baby cows looked tender and delicious...i am a heartlessand arrogant bastard, i will continue to eat meat because i like it and because we are at the top of the fucking food chain. i do not apologize.
and Flogg, IQ tests are worthless indicators of intelligence, i have met people with IQs of 180 that couldnt find their ass with both hands, let alone produce a creative thought...why don't we just measure dicks instead?

"a high meat diet is extremely wasteful, the best argument a vegetarian has ever said to me was that for every serving of beef you could feed 400 people with the grain consumed by that cow. "
I actually always thought this was the worst vegan argument. Because it has no basis in reality. Yes, on a theoretical level you can make many times more grain than beef (we learned this in bio 101) but in REALITY we have more than enough food to feed everyone, we burn extra grain in this country and many others.
THe problem of hungar and food distrobution is ECONOMIC not DIETARY. I promise you going vegan or vegetarian will not feed 400 starving africans.
IMHO the only vegan argument that ever struck me was the enviormental argument, meat... or at least the beef industry, really fucks up the enviorment.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012
HARLEM, Ga. -- The surprises just keep coming for one Harlem family. Last month we introduced you to the Failes.
Sgt. 1st Class Scott Faile shocked his family at the Georgia-South Carolina football game with a surprise homecoming from serving overseas. (Click to see link) Video of the surprise went viral. Now Ellen DeGeneres is giving the family an even bigger surprise.
Tammy Faile knew Ellen had heard about their story, but she wasn't expecting the phone call or the visitor she got Wednesday night.
"I was actually talking to my dad on the phone and they beeped in and I said, 'Daddy, I've got to go," so when I answered the phone, she said, 'Is this Tammy Faile?' And I said, 'Yes, it is' and she said, 'Hi, this is Ellen DeGeneres,'" Tammy said.
Little did the Failes know, outside their Harlem home was Kym Douglas, Ellen's friend, who was ready to surprise the family.
"Cameron went to the front door and answered it and that's when they all just busted in the house," Tammy said.
"When they walked in I didn't know who it was at first and then my mama yelled that it was 'The Ellen Show,'" said Tammy's son, Cameron.
With Ellen still on the phone, the family started answering random questions for money.
"She said whatever questions you answer correctly you win $1,000 -- for every question you don't answer right, she takes all the money back," Tammy said.
They had fun with the questions, and a little dancing, but then Ellen had the real surprise.
"You're going home with $25,000," Ellen told the family.
"We are a military family -- it's a struggle a lot of times, so it was very overwhelming," Tammy said.
"It was awesome," Cameron said.
While Sgt. 1st Class Scott Faile is grateful, the 21-year Army soldier sure didn't expect this.
