As I type this, the WTI front month crude oil futures on the CME Globex is trading at 54.25$ per contract. Symbol is CL, active month currently trading is January: CL 01-15.
Pretty much the whole world has watched as crude has sold off from the 100$ level to what is now a price threatening 50$. The transfer of wealth over this period has been monumental. if not historical. Moreover, the selloff represents a major shift in the economic power structure of the world, and it has only taken 6 months.
Here is the story that the media is floating as being the reasons for the selloff: http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/mutualfunds/why-oil-is-down-by-half-what-it-means-for-you/ar-BBgPQdy
I am an active futures trader, and everyday I trade Crude oil, gold, natural gas, and the mini s&p. From my vantage point, nearly every reason outlined in the story concerning the pricing of crude oil is complete BS.
Point/Counterpoint on the topic, reasons for the decline in crude oil value from the article:
1) "A drop off in Global demand". There have been no "unexpected" fluctuations in global demand for crude oil. It is true that China has been the horse pulling the wagon as far as demand goes for sometime now; and yes they are facing some tough economic times as their real estate bubble is thought to be popping, and is "expected" to be several times worse that the US real estate market failure ...

Some of the most entertaining football is when the 1A "bigboys" have to play the 1AA squads.....and yes the dirty little secret is this: other than the top 10 teams in 1A, there just isn't that much separation anymore between 11-40 when in comparison with the Top 10 teams in 1AA.
One of my favorite things to do is watch a headcoach sweat when his supposed "tune-up game" turns into a potential reason for termination..........
Lets see if we can spot a few week one 1A/1AA matchups that can cause a few ulcers.........lines are taken from 5dimes:
1) North Dakota State (+14) @ K-State The back to back national champs of 1AA go to K-state for a Friday night matchup. NDSU has a bunch of guys back, and are quickly becoming one of the most dominate squads in recent memory.......KSU has lost a huge amount of talent from last year....no more Optimus Klein, no more solid defense. This game boils down to Snyder's JC recruiting class vs a 1AA juggernaut. I am going with the Bizon here.......NDSU +14
2) Old Dominion (+13) @ East Carolina ODU throws the ball all over the field......and then they throw it some more. East Carolina has a slew of guys back 9/9 on each side of the ball. I actually watched Georgia Southern come back from 21 down to beat ODU in the round of 8 last season........the defense is far from impressive for ODU, and if that no-huddle passing game bogs down, ... [More]
Man, I like this one a lot. Obviously, QB play is paramount to the Cowboys having success, but with 2 guys that are capable in Clint Chelf and JW Walsh, that looks to be taken care of......even though I would have liked Wes Lunt at the trigger instead of transferring out.
Could this be the year that OSU puts a top-flight defense on the field? Tough to put up any eye -popping D numbers in the Big 12, but this unit should be able to average in the 24-28ppg allowed range....and that is enough to get them 10 wins.
Here is what I got on the Pokes' season:
1) Miss State not sure they cover the 12.5, and Reliant stadium can play a little slow, but should post 35 on MSU.W
2) @UTSA I like Larry Coker, and UTSA is bowl capable, but this is apples and oranges. Pokes' roll. W
3) Lamar this game shouldn't be played. 70+ W
5) @West Virginia The Mountaineers will miss Geno, and Clint Trickett doesn't fit the bill. W
6) Kansas St. Tough to like KSU to do much this year, especially in Stillwater with a rebuilt D. DD Win. W
8) TCU I like TCU to make some noise ... [More]
I think it is safe to say that there is a bit of collusion going on here.......looks to me like the Corporation's stance on letting Tebow play in the NFL is to run him to Canada or the Arena League.
It is very hard for me to believe that there is no one out there that will give a proven winner a chance....no, he is not the prettiest passer.....but the guy wins games, and brings a compete level that few QB's in the league do.
Seriously, can you remember a QB that has had a winning record in his first year as a starter and won a playoff game, that has been chucked to the gutter by everyone in the "League".
It appears that no one really cares about winning any longer. Is success defined by how your team looks, as opposed to how it preforms? Nothing better than getting the guy that can throw the ball 60 yds from his knee at the combine, but is a clusterf***k when the chips are down. The sad part is that Jamarcus Russell has gotten more positive press for his comeback effort over the last month than Tebow has for his charity work during the same period. Pretty telling on whom is writing the sports columns these days.
If a team is all set at QB then do not even consider Tebow...but the following squads have no excuse, other than they are scared of the NFL/ESPN media machine: Bills, Dolphins, Cleveland, Jax, Tennessee, KC, Oakland, Eagles, Vikings, Tampa, Arizona.
These teams stink, and usually are... [More]
The only thing better than having jesus at QB is having God himself under center.
The signing of Peyton Manning may be the most expensive public relations move of all time....the only QB on the planet that the Broncos fans would have accepted over Tim Tebow is Peyton Manning. This move shows just how uneasy Elway was with Tebow, yet illustrates his respect for Tebow nation.....he could have made a bid for Matt Flynn (this off season's QB du'jour), but the need to save face was overwhelming...enter Peyton Manning, the one and only correct answer for the situation.
Now the Broncos can claim that Tebow is being tutored by Peyton for the "future" in order to keep his fanbase happy. Do not kid yourself, if Denver recieves a decent trade proposal involving moving Tim then they will move his ass fast, probably for a 2nd, 3rd or 4th round pick....it will be later on in training camp this season, after most loyal Denver fans have forgotten his wins from last season and are focussed on the season at hand....and have been watching a never ending loop of Peyton Manning highlights on ESPN for 6 months straight.
Two points:
1) Peyton will have to play a considerable number of games outdoors late in the season in variable weather conditions. This is new for him.
2) The offense is not geared to air it out. The wide recievers are below anything he has thrown to in at least 8 years, and that is a run blocking offensive line, th... [More]
Some of you out there have read a few of my posts, most of which are emotionally driven bullshit (usually stemming from my unabashed hatred for the mainstream sporting media) but largely I remain an anonymous figure here at covers. I like it that way, and it is fun to come on and vent from time to time. I have read at least a dozen threads over the years on guys wanting to know if it is possible to make a living betting on sports. Answers to this question usually range from "no...gambling is a waste of time and for suckers" all the way to sailing around the caribbean on a motoryaght with supermodels. The following is my two cents, and yes it is the correct answer to the question "is it possible to make a living being a professional gambler?"
Here is my background: 32 years old, medium size construction speculator, commodities trader, sports handicapper. The construction ate shit in 2008, I still trade commodities and bet college football. The trading has been ok for a few years, the betting was below average last season.
I will focus the discussion to sports gambling (which is very similiar to commodities trading regarding money management principles, but very different in many other aspects of function...thus we will save the trading tallk for the investment forum.).
The following components are absolutely necessary in order to make a living betting on sports:
1)&... [More]
I was one of those whom has backed Tebow since he began to win in the NFL. From a football standpoint, it is astounding how polarizing this guy is....everyone has a strong opinion on Tim Tebow.
It is absolutely amazing just how personal the criticism towards Tebow gets. It seems that the people whom do not like Tebow genuinely hate him. They are offended by his belief system and the way that he plays the game....and more importantly, they hate what he stands for.
On the other hand, Tebow supporters see him as the answer, and back him no matter how dismal the preformance. They are blind to many truths, and at times go out of their way to justify poor play.
Facts are facts though....when he took over, Denver was 1-5. For the Broncos to finish 8-8 is a huge accomplishment, and he was a large part of that. Not to mention a playoff win for Tebow.....something a conventional QB like Matt Ryan has not been able to muster.
What pisses me off is the relentless bullshit arguement that Tebow will never become a true "NFL" quarterback. News flash: Tim Tebow already is an NFL qb. The media calls him "unconventional" at best and downright "incompetent" at worst.
Who is to say just how good Tebow can be? The experts? The same group that touted the likes of Jamarcus Russell, Vince Young, Ryan Leaf, Kyle Boller, Kordell Stewart and Akili Smith as having an upside as being amazing? The same experts that have tried to convince america for 10 years th... [More]
Looking forward to this one. Line went up 5 minutes after the Broncos win over the Steelers at 14....came down to 13.5 immediately, although some smaller shops are hanging up 15's right now to generate some early business.
New England defense is brutal, but that offense is smokin' hot and they know just how to attack the Broncos D. It is a definite possibility that Denver could get run out of Foxboro.... I have much respect for Tom Brady and Belichek, but............
Offense alone doesn't win tough playoff games. Period. You have to have some guts on D, and New England is suspect everwhere but at DT. NE has a history of getting pushed around by tough teams in the playoffs that are not flashy (see Jets and Baltimore).
If Denver D makes some stops and force 3's in the redzone, they will have a chance to win this bitch outright. They will get in the 17-24 pt range out of their offense, and that could be enough to win if the following comes to fruition:
1) Bad weather
2) Relaxed Pass interference officiating
3) Denver Defense adjusts to underneath drag routes and plays physical with the TE's. Job #1 on D has to be to hit Gronkowski and Hernandez in the mouth every play.
4) Denver needs to have a 2 possession lead midway through the 3rd to have a legit shot at the upset.
5) Denver must play clean...0 costly turnovers
I must say that I am intrigue... [More]

Every Harry Potter fan has probably wished to attend a magical school where spells -- rather than spelling -- would be among the lessons of the day.
Wish as you might, it's unlikely that you'll ever attend a school like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but you still can have the spirit of the school.
You can start by painting your room in red and gold (substitute yellow), the official colors of Gryffindor, the school house where Harry Potter lives.
Then you can try two projects based on Quidditch, the official sport of the wizarding set.
Make a mobile showcasing the game's four balls and it will be easier to imagine yourself on a swift-flying broom as a Beater batting and dodging the two black Bludgers.
Or you might be a Chaser trying to score a basket with the big red Quaffle, or the Seeker trying to capture the fleet-winged Golden Snitch.
Each of the mobile's plastic foam balls is hung from fishing line, creating a cool pop-art effect as they appear to float in air. Place them in a breezy spot and they'll even spin and bob around.
Add more fuel to your fantasies with your very own Quidditch broom. Can't get to Quality Quidditch Supplies on a shopping trip? Not to worry. You can craft your own by making a few alterations to a small sweeper called a lobby broom. (We found one for about $5 at Home Depot.)
Spray paint it in your favorite brilliant color and you can have a sleek and shiny flyer like the Cleansweep or the Nimbus. It might even be a dream broom like the Firebolt.
The mobile will take about two hours to make, including drying time, and costs about $40 for the plastic foam balls, acrylic paints, fishing line and other materials.
The balls can be expensive with the largest ball costing as much as $13 at some craft stores. Considering this, you'll want to know ahead of time not to use spray paint, which will cause the balls to melt.
Most of our project supplies, including silver wings for the Golden Snitch, came from Pearl Art and Craft Supply in Woodbridge and A.C. Moore in Watchung.
The selection of wings varies from store to store, and if you have trouble finding the 2-inch metallic silver wings we used, they also are available online from factorydirectcraft.com.
Adult supervision may be required for both projects.
To convert an ordinary broom into a self-powered flying machine, you'll need the broom, fine-grit sandpaper (a sandpaper sponge works best), high-gloss spray paint in your chosen color, masking tape and newspaper.
Wear a dust mask and goggles while spray painting and finishing.
First use scissors or a nail clipper to remove the plastic woven through the broom's straw. It will relax into a more rounded shape.
Use the sandpaper sponge to remove the finish from the broom handle. Cover the straw and the metal that holds it in place with newspaper and masking tape. For the smoothest surface, you can use a spray primer before painting.
Place broom on newspaper and spray paint to coat one side. Avoid drips by applying a light coat of paint. Let dry at least 30 minutes and apply a second light coat. When dry, turn broom and repeat on opposite side.
Want an even cooler broom? Give it a swirling pattern by wrapping it tightly, in an open spiral, with a strip of masking tape, then spraying on a second color. Remove tape when paint dries.
For the shiniest finish, you can coat your handle with high-gloss polyurethane.
When the broom is dry, you're ready to fly.
Quidditch mobile
Plastic foam balls (one 8-inch, two 6-inch and one 2-inch)
Acrylic sealer (optional)
Paints (red, black and gold)
Paint brushes
2-inch silver angel wings
Wooden skewers
Plastic knife
Craft glue
Fishing line (.011 width)
Metal screw hook
1. Cover your work surface with newspaper. Paint each ball with acrylic sealer and let dry. The sealer will help fill some of the pores in the foam, creating a smoother painting surface.
2. Prop each ball on a skewer to increase the area that can be painted without touching it. Paint the largest ball red, the 6-inch balls black and the smallest ball gold. The skewered balls can be placed in empty jars or mugs to dry upright. For easier painting, squeeze a quarter-size dab of paint onto the ball and then brush and blot on paint for even coverage. When larger balls dry, turn them over and paint the top, if needed.
3. For Golden Snitch, clip the wings in half and dab edges with glue to seal. While glue dries, use a plastic knife to make small indentations in the side of the golden ball. Your cuts should be the length of the cut end of each wing. Fill the holes with glue and push in a wing on each side. Use skewer, if needed, to smooth and push in the wings. Return to skewer to dry.
4. Install your ceiling hook securely.
5. Measure how far you want your Bludgers to hang down from the ceiling hook. Cut a length of fishing line that is double that measurement plus 2 inches. The Bludgers will hang lowest and are attached to the same length of fishing line.
6. Tear two rough ½-inch squares of newspaper and roll into small cylinders. Tie and knot each end of fishing line around the middle of a cylinder. Squeeze a bit of glue into the hole of each Bludger and then use the skewer to force the paper wad and line into the hole. Top with more glue. Let dry.
For the Quaffle, which hangs just above the Bludgers, determine your desired hanging length and cut fishing line double that measurement plus 2 inches.
Join ends together and tie and knot around a rolled 1-inch square of paper and secure to ball with glue as with Bludgers.
Using a ½-inch tear of paper, repeat for Golden Snitch, which can hang either above the Quaffle or between it and the Bludgers. The Golden Snitch can move more freely if hung above the Quaffle.
7. After glue dries (overnight is a good idea), hang your Bludgers over the hook. Next hang the Quaffle and adjust the Bludgers as you'd like them to hang. Finally, hang the Golden Snitch.

World Inequality Database on Education
The World Inequality Database on Education (WIDE) highlights the powerful influence of circumstances, such as wealth, gender, ethnicity and location, over which people have little control but which play an important role in shaping their opportunities for education and life. It draws attention to unacceptable levels of education inequality across countries and between groups within countries, with the aim of helping to inform policy design and public debate.
Explore disparities in education across and within countries
Compare countries
Compare groups within countries
Compare overlapping disparities
Selecting an indicator compares disparities between countries for different groups, such as wealth, gender or location. Groups are visualized as coloured dots.
Clicking on a country shows the disparities for different groups, such as gender, wealth or location within the selected country.
Clicking on one of the groups shows overlapping disparities within countries. Combining multiple dimensions of inequality, it can compare, for example, education for rural poor women with urban rich men within a given country.
The six Education for All goals
Goal 1: Early childhood care and education
In 14 countries more than 50% of all children have the opportunity to attend a pre-primary programme
Goal 2: Universal primary education
More than 25% of all children in 17 countries have never been to primary school.
Goal 3: Youth and adult learning needs
In 35 countries, more than 75% of adolescents have not completed lower secondary school
Goal 4: Youth and adult literacy
In 8 countries more than 50% of young people aged 20-24 years have less than 2 years of schooling
Goal 5: Gender parity and equality in education
In 27 countries, 9 out of 10 of the poorest young women have not completed primary school
Goal 6: Quality of education
In 21 countries fewer than 50% of the children of primary school age learn the basics in mathematics.
Indicator: Pre-primary education attendance
Early childhood is the critical period in which to lay the foundations for success in education and beyond. Yet children who would benefit most from early childhood care and education are least likely to receive it. Global progress in pre-primary education masks extremely low levels of enrolment in some countries. For example, only 4% of 3- to 4-year old children in Mozambique have the opportunity to attend pre-primary education programmes. This country joins 24 others in the database having less than a quarter of children benefitting from pre-school.
Indicator: Never been to school
Major progress has been made since 2000 in enrolling children in primary school. However, progress has stalled in recent years, and children from marginalized groups continue to face significant barriers to reaching school. In Burkina Faso, 43% of children aged 9 to 12 years have never attended primary school.
Indicator: Lower secondary completion rate
Many young people lack the opportunity to participate in lower secondary school. In Afghanistan 77% of adolescents have not completed lower secondary school, denying them the opportunity to attain the foundation skills needed to get good jobs.
Indicator: Less than 2 years of schooling
Youth literacy rates are higher than ever as a result of progress in primary education. However, progress is still not fast enough with over half of young people in some countries in sub-Saharan Africa with less than two years of education, living in extreme education poverty. In Niger, 77% of 20-24 year olds are in extreme education poverty. Literacy programmes are necessary to provide opportunities to address the needs of illiterate adults, especially women and people from marginalized groups.
Indicator: Primary completion rate
The world has been making significant progress towards gender parity in enrolment in primary education. However, this does not apply equally to all countries or groups within countries. In at least thirteen countries in the World Inequality Database on Education (WIDE), 9 out of 10 of the poorest women aged 15- to 24-years have not completed primary school. These young women urgently need a second chance to gain basic skills that will enable them to fulfil their aspirations and contribute to the prosperity of their country. In Yemen, 92% of the poorest young women have not completed primary school, compared to 47% of the poorest young men. Much remains to be done to achieve gender equality in the way students are treated at school – and in translating education into broader participation of women in political, economic and social life.
Indicator: Completed primary and learned basics in mathematics
A good quality education system should ensure that children enrol, complete primary school and achieve a minimum learning standard. Yet, in many countries, large numbers of children either do not reach the end of the primary school cycle or, even if they do, they struggle to learn. For example, only one in five children in Senegal had learned the basics in mathematics.

Designed as a replacement for the aging McLaren SLR and as a range-topper for Mercedes-Benz, the SLS AMG GT was designed and honed by the high-performance gurus at AMG. Using the 300SL Gullwing as inspiration gave the car its characteristic shape, and perhaps its most unique and iconic feature -- gull-wing doors. It features a long hood and short rear deck, much like the 300SL.
The SLS AMG GT is an evolution of 2012's SLS AMG. The only available engine is the same 6.2L V8 used in the SL63 and other AMG models, although here it's been tuned slightly with dry-sump oiling, a reworked valvetrain and camshaft design, special tubular headers, a free-flowing intake and an improved exhaust system. The result is 583 hp and 479 ft-lb of torque, which pushes the SLS to 60 mph in an estimated 3.7 seconds and gives a top speed of 199 mph.
A 7-speed dual-clutch electronic transmission is the only available gearbox, featuring aluminum shift paddles mounted on either side of the steering wheel. The driver can select between several modes that offer shift quality tuned for both maximum performance and maximum efficiency -- and several steps in between. Mounted in the rear and connected to the engine via a carbon-fiber driveshaft, it helps give a near-perfect weight balance of 47/53 front-to-rear.
The chassis utilizes 4-wheel independent suspension with double-wishbone designs front and rear. With AMG Ride Control settings of "Sport" and "Sport+", drivers can select just how aggressive they want their SLS GT to be. But with the engine mounted low in the chassis (thanks to dry-sump oiling) and its rear-mounted transaxle, the SLS's center of gravity and overall balance helps provide exceptional handling characteristics no matter the setting. Massive disc brakes help bring the car from 60 mph to a stop in just under 100 feet.
The SLS AMG GT is available as either a coupe or convertible. Both are built on a high-tech aluminum space frame. Standard safety equipment includes stability and traction control, antilock brakes, front, side, knee and curtain airbags for both driver and passenger and Mercedes' "mbrace" emergency telematics system. In the event of a rollover, the coupe's gull-wing doors separate from the car via pyrotechnic devices, allowing easy exit for both driver and passenger.
The roadster SLS comes with a 3-layer fabric top and conventional front-hinged doors instead of the coupe's gull-wings. While Mercedes did have to add additional bracing to keep the chassis rigid, they claim the roadster weighs the same as the coupe, but has a lower center of gravity, so handling will not be affected too much.
Standard equipment includes 19-inch front and 20-inch rear cast aluminum wheels, bi-xenon headlamps with washers, auto-dimming and power-folding mirrors, a backup camera, keyless entry and ignition, leather upholstery, heated seats with memory functions, dual-zone automatic climate control and a premium sound system with satellite radio and iPod connectivity. In addition, Mercedes COMMAND interface is also standard.
Optional features many AMG performance parts, such as performance and adaptive suspension and carbon ceramic brakes. Outside, three types of unique alloy wheels and carbon fiber trim are also available. Inside, quilted leather seating, a leather and suede-wrapped steering wheel, and an 11-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo system are optional add-ons.
The SLS AMG Black Series comes with an enhanced version of the 6.2L V8, which in the Black Series makes 622 horsepower and 468 lb-feet of torque. It comes with a special electro-mechanical limited slip differential, adjustable spoiler, a wider track, stiffer suspension and an interior that uses a lot of carbon fiber to save weight.

Much like a showgirl in sequins, Las Vegas knows how to sparkle. A gigawatt oasis in the Nevada desert, its lights pulse, blink and beckon. Even at several thousand feet, their pull is strong: Nighttime fliers descending into McCarran International Airport can't help but be awed by the sight of the glistening Las Vegas Strip far below.
That, of course, is the whole point. Casino owners learned early on that a blinking sign outside was good for luring gamblers inside. The flashier the better. And for decades, nothing was as flashy as neon.
By the '60s, both the Strip and the city's downtown were ablaze with neon creations. Think Vegas Vic, he of the perpetually lit cigarette and extended thumb. Or the Stardust's cloud of dripping diamonds. Or the Flamingo and its curved bloom of red, pink and orange.
But what happens to those neon signs when they outlive their usefulness or, more commonly, the casinos they represent stop making a profit? Many end up on a scrap heap. A lucky few, however, go to the Neon Museum.
Located on Las Vegas Boulevard, a few miles north of the famed Strip, the museum is a final resting place for signs that were once an integral part of the city's neon paradise. While some have been restored to their original glow, most sit on a 2-acre dirt lot, no longer lit and in various states of disrepair. They are remnants, rusted shadows of their former glory, but gathered in one place, they tell the story of a Las Vegas that's long gone.
"Neon is significant for Las Vegas," says Danielle Kelly, executive director of the Neon Museum. "It's so intimately associated with the city."
The museum's mission, she says, is to make sure that association -- and the history that goes with it -- never fades.
As any gambler stung by bad luck will tell you, Vegas can be a town without pity. That's especially true when it comes to its past. Along the Strip, where land is limited, once-legendary casinos and hotels have been blown up, bulldozed and otherwise buried under bigger, better models. The Venetian sits on the former site of the Sands. The Desert Inn's location is occupied by Steve Wynn's Encore. And land that once contained the Dunes is now, ironically, covered by water, in the form of the Bellagio fountains.
"It's a city of reinvention," Kelly says.
But all of that change came at a price. According to Kelly, the city's residents and officials began to notice, in the late '80s and early '90s, that many landmarks were being lost amid the casino shuffle. Unlike most cities, which place importance on preserving their architecture, Vegas focused on its neon signs, which held more memories than the structures they once represented.
"Las Vegas is a nighttime city," Kelly says. "When you think about Vegas, you think about its signs."
Fortunately, quite a few of them had been stored in a dirt lot belonging to YESCO, a company that designed, manufactured and leased signs to the casinos. (This was a common practice in Vegas, where casino owners were too busy making money to concern themselves with sign maintenance.) But conditions in the lot were harsh, with the signs left to crumble in the desert sun. A better home needed to be found.
In 1996, the Neon Museum was officially formed. Its goal was to save the signs, restore what they could and let them light up the night once again. YESCO and others donated the signs. Private and corporate donors provided the funds to transport and maintain them.
Over the years, the museum has restored and relit more than a dozen notable signs, which dot North Las Vegas Boulevard and the downtown's Fremont Street area. These include the neon horse and rider that once graced the Hacienda, the sparkling lamp that sat outside the Aladdin, and the Silver Slipper, which so bedeviled Howard Hughes when he was holed up at the Desert Inn across the street that he bought its eponymous casino and had the slipper moved.
Still, most of the museum's collection sat in its own version of the YESCO lot, lovingly dubbed the Neon Boneyard. While available for special tours and a popular spot for photo shoots, the museum wanted to do more with the space. So, in October, it opened a new visitors center, using the restored lobby of La Concha Motel as its eye-catching entrance.
Now, the museum gives up to 16 guided tours of the boneyard each day. The entire collection, alas, is still outdoors, with visitors winding their way around the fenced-in lot. Closed-toe shoes are recommended and sunblock is a must. ("For the next hour, it's full sun," the guides warn.) But for anyone even remotely interested in Las Vegas history, it's worth braving the elements. The boneyard tour lets visitors spend an hour getting up close and personal with some of the most iconic signs ever to brighten the Vegas night.
Sitting on the ground, worn by time and neglect, these signs become less about glitz and advertising and more about the time periods, buildings and personalities associated with them. It's a walk down memory lane, even if those memories are only of seeing the signs in books, movies and TV shows.
All of them, Kelly says, "speak to the pop cultural history of America."
To see how much Las Vegas has changed over the decades, a visitor only needs to stroll through the boneyard. The discarded signs that reside there trace the city's evolution from a dusty stagecoach stop to one of the gambling capitals of the world.
There is, for instance, the giant chunk of man-made "gold" that welcomed gamblers to the Golden Nugget at a time when hitching posts still lined the Vegas streets. The middle of the 20th century is represented by signs for exotic-named casinos that are no longer with us -- including the Algiers, El Rancho and, most recently, the Sahara. A gargantuan pirate's skull from Treasure Island, especially alarming when seen on Google Maps' satellite view, is a relic from the misguided time in the '90s when casinos marketed themselves as centers of family fun.
Many of the signs are associated with names that had a hand in making Sin City what it is today: Benny Binion and Bugsy Siegel, Howard Hughes and Steve Wynn. Elvis, naturally, gets a mention.
Still other signs illustrate not just changes in Las Vegas, but in the nation as a whole. One of the first things that visitors see on the tour are the wide, swooping letters that once spelled out the name of the Moulin Rouge, which opened in 1955 as the city's first racially integrated casino. Not only did it smash social barriers, but in the brief time it was open, it became the hippest spot in town. Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland and a host of other white entertainers stopped by after their shows to jam with the likes of Harry Belafonte, Louis Armstrong and Sammy Davis Jr.
A former sign for the still-in-use Mon Bel Ami wedding chapel leads to a lesson in changing matrimonial laws and the rise of the quickie divorce. (Vegas, tour guides tell visitors, is second to Hawaii for weddings. It is, however, the nation's leader in divorces.)
Then there are signs for the now-defunct Stardust, which Kelly says is the crown jewel in the museum's collection.
"The Stardust sign is so important in so many ways," she says. "When you think of the Stardust, you don't remember what the building looked like. You remember the sign."
Opened in 1958, the Stardust was the first Las Vegas casino to forgo the usual Wild West theme and embrace the Atomic Age. Its record-breaking sign spelled out its name in jagged letters more suited to a science fiction flick than a gambling hall. Even more interesting is how the towering, curved Strip-side sign was designed to resemble a mushroom cloud. At the time, atomic testing was still going strong in the Nevada desert and casinos used the prospect of seeing the distant detonations as a marketing hook.
Now, the Stardust sign sits in pieces in the Neon Boneyard, no longer breaking records or drawing crowds, but still instantly recognizable, thanks to frequent appearances in movies and TV shows.
"What makes the sign so amazing and beautiful," Kelly says of the Stardust, "is that people have memories of the sign without ever having been here."
Those memories, and thousands more like them, are what the Neon Museum wants to preserve for future generations. The goal is to reclaim, restore and remember Las Vegas' neon past. Part of that means refurbishing more signs, of course, and upcoming night tours of the boneyard will give some of the restored pieces a chance to literally shine.
Additionally, Kelly intends to use the visitors center as a way of educating people about the history of preserving this colorful city's more colorful past. The museum will soon start hosting a regular series of lectures about Las Vegas landmarks. One of the first topics on tap is the story of the Moulin Rouge.
"There's so much that's possible," she says.
What the Neon Museum doesn't want to see, however, are more additions to its collection. Even when a casino or hotel closes, they try to work with city officials to devise a way to keep its signs glowing bright. That is, after all, the museum's mission.
"The last thing we want," Kelly says, "is a sign to come down."

JCSU Olympians
Johnson C. Smith University is extremely excited and honored to have Class of 2011 alumni Leford Green and Shermaine Williams participating in the 2012 London Summer Olympics as members of the Jamaica National team.
After winning the 400 meter hurdles event at the 2012 Jamaica National Senior Championships in July, Green qualified for a spot on the Olympic team. He is the Jamaican national champion in the 400m hurdles for the third consecutive year by winning the race with a season best time of 48.88.
Williams qualified for competition in this year's Olympics by placing third in the women's 100m hurdles final at the Jamaica National Senior Championships. Williams clocked a time of 12.79 to become the first female Olympian in JCSU history.
Williams and Green are the first Olympians from Johnson C. Smith University since Vince Matthews, who won gold medals in the 1968 Mexico City and 1972 Munich Olympic games. He set world records in both Olympics running the 4x400m relay in 1968 and the 400m in 1972.

LEWISTOWN - To increase the possibility of physician recruitment and interest at Lewistown Hospital, Kay Hamilton, hospital president and CEO, plans to start a family medicine residency program in May 2014.
"It began with the same thought process as the school of nursing," Hamilton said. "I was thinking about our difficulty recruiting family practice physicians, much like we had trouble finding enough registered nurses. Then I thought to myself, 'Why can't we do something like we did with the nursing issue?' We can find some type of program to get us residents."
Hamilton submitted an application in February to begin a rural track family medicine residency program, which would be one of 25 available programs in the country. It will provide six residents over a three year period, she said.
"The program is open to medical school graduates from all over the United States," Hamilton said. "They will have to declare their interest in family medicine as it applies specifically to rural areas. That's our niche and how, I believe, we'll get people interested."
The residency involves intense clinical training as well as classroom time, Hamilton said. As residents focus on family medicine, they'll be placed throughout the hospital, community clinics and Geisinger facilities.
Each resident will work a three-year term and the goal is to recruit from those in the program as there are openings and increased medical needs in the community, Hamilton said.
"It's just not easy to recruit doctors to our area," Hamilton said. "We have enough physicians right now, but we don't know going forward if we will or we won't. With the new healthcare reform act, and emphasis on primary care, we anticipate needing more physicians in the future."
The hospital plans to move forward with the program once its merger with Geisinger is complete, Hamilton said. Approval involves an audit and inspection of the hospital by the American College of Graduate Medical Education Residency Review Committee.
"If everything goes as planned, we'll begin recruiting residents in May 2014 and they'll begin the program in August 2014," Hamilton said. "We have to prepare for the future and strengthen our services for the community. We can do that with this program."

Along this woodland in Ocala, enjoy a swath of true urban wilderness, a mile-wide corridor edged on both sides by subdivisions and strip malls. Both remain gratefully out of sight and sound as you walk along the Florida Trail in the Baseline section of the Cross Florida Greenway. Now I'm not a fan of paved trails, but the value of providing a ribbon of asphalt through a forest is amazing when you're in the thick of humanity like this. People actually use it, and lose their fear of the woods! Think of it as training wheels for new hikers who evolve from dog walkers and joggers. The paved portion of this trail is extraordinarily popular and busy with bicyclists, moms pushing strollers, and folks out for a run with Fido. The Florida Trail parallels it in places, joins it in some, and then dives into one of the most beautiful wilderness spots in Florida—Marshall Swamp, where cypresses, pines, and oaks grow oversized and shade is a constant (as is the buzz of mosquitoes, except in winter).
Location: Silver Springs Shores / Ocala / Silver Springs
Length: 5 miles
Lat-Long: 29.142205, -82.052940 (Baseline), 29.183583,-82.015967 (Marshall Swamp)
Type: Linear
Fees / Permits: None unless you are camping, which requires a free permit
Difficulty: moderate
Bug factor: moderate to annoying
Restroom: Available at both the Santos and Baseline trailheads
If you are backpacking and plan to camp en route, please contact the Office of Greenways and Trails (352-236-7143) in advance for a free permit. Inform them of the general area in which you plan to camp (suggestions are made in the text). Florida Trail members do not need a permit to camp along the Cross Florida Greenway if carrying their Florida Trail membership card, but in this urban corridor, it's safer if you check in and let them know your camping plans.
The Baseline Trailhead (southernmost point) is 5.7 miles north of Belleview via SR 35 just north of the intersection of SR 464 (Maricamp Road) and SR 35 (Baseline Road) in Silver Springs Shores, to the east of Ocala and south of Silver Springs.
The Marshall Swamp Trailhead (northernmost point) is along Sharpes Ferry Road just past the Office of Greenways & Trails office. From Interstate 75 in Ocala, take exit 352 and drive 8.4 miles east on SR 40 through Ocala to Silver Springs. Turn south on CR 35 (Baseline Rd) and drive 1.5 miles to CR 314 (Sharpes Ferry Rd). Turn left (east) and continue 2 miles to the trailhead entrance on the right.
The "FT" sign is prominently placed in the parking area at the Baseline Trailhead so hikers coming from across the highway can find their way. To start down this segment of the Florida Trail, walk past the restrooms and large playground complex to the very obvious Florida National Scenic Trail sign along the paved trail. Walk down the well-defined grassy path between the blackberry bushes for this first piece of trail, which sticks to the south boundary of the greenway. It emerges in a few minutes onto the paved trail, but there is a grassy, flat footpath adjoining the pavement on the right, if you prefer to walk on a softer surface across the hills.
As the ribbon of asphalt leads you past a decade's worth of new growth of longleaf pine on what was long cattle grazing land, you pass many little memorial plaques. There are many forks and branches in the paved trail, so you must be alert as to looking for orange blazes. Generally, you'll find them painted on the pavement but here and there, but the first one that's easy to miss is a double blaze after 0.4 mile as it's shrouded by Spanish moss on an oak on the left. Turn left here at Junction 3, the Meadowlark Loop. You're headed towards the distant treeline. The trail turns again onto the Gopher Track Loop at a copse of oaks – watch for the blazes at Junction 5 – as you pass a metal bench. Wild cherry trees grow alongside the paved path, and a sea of blackberry bushes stretches around you—come back in May to sample their delights!
Around Junction 6 – where a map, you enter an older longleaf pine forest – still young, but tall enough to be sprouting super-sized pinecones and providing a fair bit of shade, with a haze of blackberry bushes and wiregrass beneath the pines. You pass a side trail to the Pecan Pass trailhead at 1 mile. Meandering through more dense forest, the paved path curves through a shady downhill slope; a double-blaze ushers you past Junction 9 where a fiberglass post ushers you off the pavement and into the woods after 1.6 miles. The footpath is well-worn through a second or third-growth forest with lots of young sand pines amid the creepy-in-winter turkey oaks and occasional longleaf pines in this raggedy sandhill habitat.
The footpath crosses the paved trail and dives down a steep embankment past a sign, "Ocala Frisbee Golf Course." You'll see at least one of the "holes" along the course as the trail curves left and uphill. The landscape undulates rather severely and then gently through a mature forest, leaving me to believe that this is another part of the 1930s diggings for the original ship canal across Florida, since it is obviously terraced, but not so deeply as later diggings. The trail ambles up and down the hills through sandhill habitat, dominated by turkey oaks with leaves that turn brilliant hues in late fall, and a smattering of scrub plants such as the sand pines. You've walked 2 miles. Off to the left, you can see the pavement of the bike trail; off to the right, the topography drops off severely.
The trail makes a steady descent to a double-blaze where an old farm fence and posts embedded with barbed wire draw your attention. You spy a blue blaze off to the right near the fenceline. It leads out to the 67th Ave Trailhead, the southern parking area for the Marshall Swamp segment of the Florida Trail. A few steps forward and at 2.4 miles, you reach a firebreak where a sign greets you at the entrance to Marshall Swamp. Your surroundings radically change as you continue hiking into this floodplain forest, which drains into the Silver River basin. You are immersed in deep shade as you enter a hammock where cabbage palms and oaks form a canopy. The trail makes a sharp left away from a fenceline (a shortcut out to 67th Ave, where you could park a car or three along the road for trail access) and heads down a short corridor of wizened oaks, a patch of scrub. A long walk down a tramway – likely used to remove cypresses a century or so ago – ushers you into the quiet and grandeur of Marshall Swamp, with tall cypresses reflected in the clear but tannic waters and swirls of red seeds flying off the red maple trees. The trail makes a sharp left past a picnic bench – a good rest stop at 2.7 miles – and heads into a jungle-like forest (described under Florida Trail, Marshall Swamp) where indeed, Tarzan once swung through these branches.
A series of three long bridges get you over the wettest parts of the swamp, but after a heavy rain or in times of high water, you can expect to squish through puddles that settle in the middle of the trail. No matter. You're wrapped in a blanket of thick air, humidity settling to make the forest ablaze in colors lent by orange fingers of fungi peeping through the leaf cover, chartreuse patches of sphagnum moss enveloping palm trunks like fur, enormous white shelf fungi, and brilliant red splatters of red blanket lichen on the trees. Against a backdrop of a thousand shades of green, the colors of moss and fungi are unmistakable and draw your eye towards small nooks and crannies in rotting logs and cypress stumps of enormous girth.
Winding through the forest, you encounter a false trail off to the right around 4 miles, amid the tall pines; don't follow it. Not long after, you'll come to the actual side trail for the nature trail, marked by a sign and blazed blue. The nature trail loops around a portion of the swamp, and is not part of the Florida Trail. However, just after you pass the nature trail, a short boardwalk beckons you out onto an observation deck on a willow pond, where frogs serenade you with a swamp chorus if you stand still long enough.
The trail crosses another bridge, a long one with a picturesque view off to the right, before meeting up with the north end of the nature loop, indicated by the back end of a sign and a blue blaze in the distance to your right. All around you are tall pines, mainly loblolly, that reach like pillars to the sky. Through the understory to the left, you begin to see signs of civilization—the restrooms and parking lot of the Marshall Swamp Trailhead. It takes a few more minutes among the pines before you emerge at the large kiosk marking the north end of this Florida Trail section. You've hiked 5 miles.

The U.S. and China have pledged closer cooperation to deal with the global economic crisis.
The commitments came at the end of two days of high level talks in Washington, D.C. led by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. The two sides outlined common concerns, including the need to stabilize financial markets, work to restore economic growth, and create jobs.
The U.S. repeated the commitment to trim its budget deficits once the spending necessary to jump-start the economy and stabilize the financial system had been completed.
Towards the end of Tuesday's meeting, Clinton said discussions on a range of subjects would be critical to establishing a foundation that would let other countries settle future quarrels and work together on major global crises.
"Laying the groundwork may not yield a lot of concrete achievements immediately, but every step is a good investment," Clinton told reporters at the end of the scheduled talks.
China said it would be sending a senior general to the U.S. for talks later this year and would welcome U.S. generals in China as well.

The 2014 NFL draft is only a week away. For draft analysts and many football fans, this time of year is as exciting as the Super Bowl. However, there are two things when it comes to the draft that will send a fan into a rage.
First, if their favorite team passes on "their guy." We all know how that works. Maybe he went to your favorite college or is just a prospect you got to watch more than others. When your favorite team lets him pass, it is truly a dark day.
However, there is one thing a team can do that is even worse. The reach. No one wants to have his or her team go for a player too early. We watch it every season, as players are drafted far too early for their talent. The reasons for it are varied, and mysterious. Sometimes it is simply a case of a franchise panicking out of need for a particular position. Other times, it is an example of pulling the trigger early for fear of missing out on that player later on.
Regardless of the reason, 2014 is going to be no different. For all the talent in this draft, there are still plenty of players destined to be drafted far too high. That's not to say every player on this list can't be a good pro. Well, almost all of them can be good pros. Nevertheless, some of these prospects are on course to be drafted above their individual talent level and ahead of better players.
For some of these prospects, I am going to reference mock drafts by the cbssports.com NFL draft staff as well as ESPN's draft tandem of Mel Kiper Jr., and Todd McShay. You can see the CBS Sports mocks here, and the ESPN ones here and here (subscription required).

SAYREVILLE -- Three people were arrested Wednesday on weapons charges after police were called to investigate an argument between the occupants of a car in the parking lot of a McDonald's on Route 9 in Sayreville, authorities said.
Jerome Baldwin, 24, of Las Vegas, Jamale Leggett, 24, of Fayetteville, N.C., and O'Margeret Leggett, 19, of Knoxville, Tenn., were charged after police searched the car and found a handgun and illegal hollow-point bullets, Detective Jeremy Berry said.
Margeret Leggett called police around 7 p.m. while she was in a heated argument with Baldwin and Jamale Leggett as they sat in a Dodge Charger in the lot at the McDonald's on Route 9 south, police said. There was also a boy, who was about 2 years old, in the car, police said.
Margeret Leggett told police officers there were guns in the car and police searched the vehicle, Berry said.
All three suspects were charged with unlawful possession of weapons and taken to the Middlesex County jail in North Brunswick. Baldwin and Jamale Leggett were being held on $100,000 bail each, and Margeret Leggett was being held on $50,000 bail, Berry said.
The boy was turned over to workers from the state Division of Youth and Family Services, Berry said.

I felt the same way. I cherish my memories of Renaissance's 2004 production of Gary Henderson's gorgeous, hourlong memory play, in which actors Braden Moran and Leah Dutchin gave us the moving story of long-married New Zealanders Tom and Elizabeth. I didn't want a new production messing with those images — or, worse, cheapening them. »Read Full Article

Looking for Ford Explorer Owners Manual?
Since its introduction in 1991, the Ford Explorer has resided at the top of the sport-utility sales heap. With good reason; the Explorer combined style, comfort and room is one go-anywhere package. The modern day Country Squire, some have called it, after the segment leading station wagon of the 1950s. Last year, Ford gave its golden child a makeover, including a new suspension, revised four-wheel drive system and dual airbags in the restyle. Four-wheel antilock brakes made the list of standard equipment in 1995 as well. What didn't make the cut was a more powerful powerplant, to do battle with the V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 200-horsepower V6 found in the Chevy Blazer and GMC Jimmy. This year, Ford squeezes a 5.0-liter V8 into the engine bay of the Explorer, available in two-wheel or all-wheel drive models. Putting out 210 horsepower, the engine option includes a limited-slip differential. A long time in coming, the existence of the V8 will ensure the Explorer's position on the sales charts for years to come. Simply stated, the Explorer is a more refined vehicle than the competition at Jeep and General Motors. The interior goes quite a ways in instilling a quality feel that is missing from the Grand Cherokee and the Blazer. An organically sweeping dashboard houses radio controls that can actually be operated without a magnifying glass.
Ford Explorer Owners ManualShopping around is the #1 way of saving money on car insurance. Are you sure you're getting the best deal possible with your current insurance company? Youve just moved. Are you paying too much for your auto insurance? Your new address makes this the perfect time to find out, as rates can change when you move, and you have to update your policy anyway. Why might your rates change at your new address? Because rates in various locations differ for various reasons. For example, auto insurance rates in rural communities are almost always lower than those in large urban centers. You may be moving to a new state, and your current auto insurance company may not be a licensed insurance provider in that state, or if they are, the rates they offer may be much higher. Certain states have higher insurance rates than others due to the percentage of claims filed. States like New Jersey, Washington D.C., New York and Massachusetts typically have the highest average insurance rates. It can also cost more to settle claims in certain areas, and this can add to the cost of your insurance premiums. Expensive cars cost more to repair or replace, and wealthy urban communities will sometimes have higher average car insurance rates. Regardless of whether youre moving to a new state or just across town, now is the perfect time to compare multiple car insurance rates and find the lowest one. Rates can differ by hundreds of dollars from company to company. Insurance rates differ greatly between cars. If the car is safe and performs well in crash tests, is not frequently stolen, and/or has certain safety or anti-theft features, it will generally cost less to insure. If the car is flashier, has a history of being frequently stolen, or is more expensive to repair, you can bet your insurance rates will be higher. Retirement is often a good time to reexamine your auto insurance policy. Many auto insurance companies offer discounts to drivers 55 and over. Ever been chatting with a friend or colleague about car insurance rates and realized that they paid way less than you? While rates can differ from consumer to consumer based on numerous factors, you very well may be paying too much for your auto insurance.

Good Neighbor policy: Food pantry need volunteers and donations to get through holiday season -- and beyond
Published 3:11 pm, Wednesday, November 10, 2010
The holiday season is crunch time at Neighbor to Neighbor. There's movement everywhere. Cars arrive with people dropping off bags of donated food. Volunteers are busy sorting through donated clothing. Others are delivering boxes of milk. Meanwhile, in the food pantry, those in need are getting food for their families.
"Think of the cold for clothing as well as Thanksgiving food items," says Cathy Lynch, executive director of Neighbor to Neighbor, describing the winter holiday rush at the local food pantry, which is located at the Christ Church Greenwich Annex on East Putnam Ave.
The need for food and clothing for Greenwich's needy is always present, says Lynch, but this holiday season poses particular challenges -- thanks to the tough economy. Lynch reports a 50 percent increase in clients and meals, which means a dramatic increase in need. "There's been a straight trajectory up the last two years," she says, "We're at the top end of the need. We're stocking the shelves and recruiting volunteers." It is also important to remember, says Lynch, that food donated during the holiday season needs to last after the holidays have come and gone. "Last year, all the food was gone by January 15," she says. "Typically it holds through February. It's a challenge."
Walking through the food pantry, Lynch points out the stacks of nutritious-looking food on the shelves." "If you gave a choice to clients of pumpkins, stuffing and cranberry sauce, or peanut butter, cereal and fruit, they would take the latter," she says. "The day before Thanksgiving and the day after they have to feed their family -- and a jar of peanut butter serves 3 to 4 meals."
Donations have started to come in from school food drives, including coats from the Old Greenwich Elementary School, and clothes from Brooks Brothers in Stamford, along with warm blankets from Trinity Church.
"Five of those blankets have gone out the door in the last hour," Lynch says. "Clients were thrilled to get them."
At the nursery school at Christ Church, bags of food donated by parents are lined up in the hall, destined for the food pantry.
"It takes an entire community to help feed and clothe those in need," says Lynch.
"It's a concerted effort by so many players. Here I am always running into so many friends and neighbors. You can't believe it, but all of Greenwich gets behind this."
Standing among the volunteers, there is a palpable energy, a happy camaraderie. "We have food volunteers from Darien, from Westchester, but mainly they come from all over Greenwich," says Lynch. "One of the nicest things is the strata of where they come from, from teenagers to people in their 80s."
But, Neighbor to Neighbor is still looking for additional helpers. With the holiday surge has come the need for more volunteers. "We need volunteers to process things donated, to commit from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday." Lynch says. There are just two volunteers helping with clothing and two in the food pantry, "There should be four," Lynch says. And, she adds, her list of 15 substitute volunteers should be 30.
Volunteer of the Year retired military pilot Larry Haviland, of Riverside, stepped in the door on his Monday round to take stock of food supplies. "I do it again on Wednesday and Thursday," he says. "I make a list of food to be ordered for the next week." Haviland finds the best price for foods he says are important: kidney or dried beans, cereals and fruit.
When Haviland began his volunteer shopping five years ago he was spending $1,500 a month -- but now spends $6,000 to $8,000 a month. He shops at the Food Bank in Stamford, but acquires most of the food from Porricelli's Food Mart in Old Greenwich.
"We would not be able to provide the choices we offer without Jerry Porricelli," says Lynch. "Every week, he's our main source of food. He lets us buy at wholesale less five percent. So, if we want to have tuna, he'll get the cheapest tuna for us, not necessarily from his store. He goes and finds the cheapest cheeses. We always have meat because of Jerry Porricelli. He packages it in family sizes. He uses his staff time to make it work for us. Because of Jerry, for every dollar donated we can buy $3 worth of food."
"We're involved in the food business, and we know how difficult it is for people to meet their food budgets," says Food Mart owner Jerry Porricelli. Growing up in New York City and the Bronx, Porricelli says he saw first- hand how difficult people had it back then, and he suggests that it is even more difficult today. But, he is determined to help and get others to pitch in as well."We're encouraging our customers to donate food they don't need to Neighbor to Neighbor, and we will add five percent of the amount they give in food for Neighbor to Neighbor," says Porricelli.
"This," he adds, "is something we feel very, very strongly about."

Pastor in same-sex parent dispute remains jailed
MONTPELIER — A Virginia pastor who interfered with a custody dispute involving a lesbian couple in Vermont will remain jailed for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury.
Forty-seven-year-old Kenneth Miller was convicted last summer of helping Lisa Miller and her daughter leave the country in September 2009 to avoid sharing custody with her former partner. Prosecutors are trying to compel the pastor to testify against someone else involved in the flight, but Miller said his fundamentalist Christian faith prevents him from doing so.
Miller, of Stuarts Draft, Va., was jailed a week ago after refusing a judge's order that he testify before a grand jury. At a hearing Thursday said he hasn't changed his mind.

The Scarlet Knights have just missed the cut for Southern Regional (Manahawkin, N.J.) receiver Mike Gesicki. The 6-6, 240-pound pass-catcher took official visits to both Ohio State and Penn State over the past few weekends, and it appears the experiences at both institutions have made them Gesicki's top two potential collegiate destinations.
"Penn State was unbelievable," Gesicki said. "The atmosphere, all the people. It wasn't just the game that got me. It was meeting the players and talking to people on the team. That's what I took away from this weekend."
Did this past weekend's visit to Penn State for their White Out game against Michigan propel the Nittany Lions forward in their pursuit for the top national tight end?
"I would say I went in there with my opinion of Penn State and it definitely didn't hurt them," Gesicki said. "It didn't make my decision for me or anything like that, but it definitely didn't hurt. I really did enjoy myself this past weekend."
Gesicki shared similar sentiments for the Ohio State Buckeyes, a program he took an official visit to three weeks ago.
"I took my official there when they played Wisconsin and it was just as good as Penn State," he said. "Both visits were phenomenal. I was treated very well at both places. I met a lot of great people. I sat down with Urban Meyer, watched film with him and learned how he wants to use me... things like that. And the atmosphere down at the shoe is unbelievable just like it is at Beaver Stadium.
"Both places were phenomenal and I really enjoyed myself. Both places have great people and it will be a tough decision between the two."
What prevented the Scarlet Knights from making the final cut?
"It was nothing negative, it was just a gut feeling I got walking on both campuses (Ohio State and Penn State)," said Gesicki. "I really can't put my finger on anything that separated the two. Every single one of those places I was considering play big time football. So there's nothing that I could say like, 'They don't have this, they don't have that.' It was just more of a gut feeling and my own opinion."
The tight end says he will make his collegiate decision this week although the details have yet to be revealed.
"I'll definitely announce this week before my game," he said. "My game is on Saturday, so I want to get it out the way before that."
The Rutgers staff has still continued to recruit Gesicki, and there is a good chance he will continue to keep his options open even after making his decision this week.
"I still talk to all the coaches, and I'm definitely keeping Rutgers in my back pocket. I talked to Saeed (Blacknall) the other day. He said keep thinking about it because that's exactly what he did. He never would have thought he would have picked Rutgers. He was always thinking (Ala)Bama, LSU, something like that. Then he realized that wasn't what he wanted.
"I talked to coach (Ron) Prince today. I haven't said there's a zero percent chance just because I'm an 18-year old kid and my mind changes every day. I might wake up tomorrow and say, 'Maybe I do want to wear that scarlet.' I don't know."

Blair: we have a duty to listen to Israel's side
Tony Blair: Israel is willing and ready to negotiate
Tony Blair has declared himself "a passionate believer in Israel" and has said that there is a "collective duty… to argue vigorously against the de-legitimisation of Israel."
The Quartet representative and former UK prime minister and made the comments at a symposium at IDC University in Herzliya.
Mr Blair called on European leaders not to "apply rules to the government of Israel that you would never dream of applying to your own country.
"In any of our nations, if there were people firing rockets, committing acts of terrorism and living next door to us, our public opinion would go crazy."
He added: "I remember the bomb attacks from Republican terrorism in the 1970's. There weren't many arguing for a policy of phlegmatic calm."
In any of our nations, if there were people committing acts of terrorism and living next door, public opinion would go crazy
Mr Blair drew a distinction between traditional de-legitimisation of Israel, as espoused by figures like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and the "more insidious" form which "those engaging in…will fiercely deny they are doing so."
Mr Blair said that while people are entitled to disagree with Israel's government, such de-legitimatisation involves "an unwillingness to listen to the other side, to acknowledge that Israel has a point."
Discussing a range of topics, including Israel's decision to relax the blockade of Gaza, Mr Blair welcomed the direct peace talks scheduled for September 2.
He said he believed that "if Israel can receive real and effective guarantees about its security, then it is willing and ready to include a negotiation for a viable, independent Palestinian state.
"This is a brave decision by the prime minister and the right one."

Unless the kernel tunable is a "dynamic" one, the only way to get it
increased includes a reboot. A number of kernel tunables are dynamic
in 11.11 (11iv1) and even more are in 11iv2 (11.23). Manpages for
kctune/kmtune will likely say which are which.
If you cannot raise the bridge by rebooting the production server, you
will have to find a way to lower the river by reducing the memory
requirements of your new application.
If this server is that mission critical, I would expect it to be part
of a ServiceGuard cluster. That being the case, perhaps the way out
would be to alter the settings so the backup system is set as you need
it, fail over to the backup and run the new application there, then
set the primary system(s) (in turn) and fail-back.
rick jones
Being a networking guy, I can never remember if memory allocated via
shm_get or mmap counts against maxdsiz or not... I suppose some simple
test cases could determine that easily enough. Getting a program
modified to use such memory might not be all that easy depending on
whether or not there are alternate allocators out there to hide it
from the application... but that would be at best a kludge
portable adj, code that compiles under more than one compiler
these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway...
feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH...
