With the NFL regular season over and the playoffs on the way, the only thing teams like the 0-16 Lions have to hope for is the NFL Draft.
This year's draft class has an underwhelming senior class lead by Wake Forest OLB Aaron Curry. In fact, seven of my top-10 rated players are underclassman.
The deadline to declare for the draft is not for several weeks so we are still in wait-and-see mode to finalize draft boards and wish lists for teams.
The talent in this year's class lies mostly upfront. There are four or five tackles who will be first-round picks and there are probably 10 defensive lineman who will go in the first round. In fact, this is one of the deepest defensive tackle classes in recent memory.
Unfortunately for the Lions, there is no proven quarterback in the Matt Ryan mold, or can't miss offensive lineman prospect like Jake long, OR a guaranteed offensive game changer like Darren McFadden.
In fact, the Lions will have an extremely difficult decision to make when they pay someone tens of millions of dollars to be the new face of their franchise. I hope for his sake the fans take the bags off their heads by the time whoever that player is sees the field.
Like every year, there are a few teams who, for whatever reason, underperformed and wound up with high draft picks. Teams like Seattle, Green Bay, and San Diego will end up will quality players to go on already solid teams.
Interestingly, all three of those teams became successful by building through the draft (See Aaron Rodgers, LaDanian Tomlinson, and Marcus Trufant)
My Top 32 looks as follows (Not the Draft Order)
1.) Andre Smith OT Alabama **
2.) Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma **
3.) Mathew Stafford QB Georgia **
4.) Michael Crabtree WR Texas Tech **
5.) Aaron Curry OLB Wake Forest
6.) Malcolm Jenkins CB Ohio State
7.) Vontae Davis CB Illinois **
8.) Jeremy Maclin WR Missouri **
9.) Eugene Monroe OT Virginia
10.) Aaron Maybin DE Penn State **
11.) Brian Orakpo DE Texas
12.) Rey Maualuga ILB USC
13.) Terrance Cody DT Alabama **
14.) Everette Brown DE Florida State **
15.) Peria Jerry DT Mississippi
16.) Knowshon Moreno RB Georgia **
17.) Jermaine Gresham TE Oklahoma **
18.) B.J. Raji DT Boston College
19.) Michael Oher OT Mississippi
20.) Chris "Beanie" Wells RB Ohio State **
21.) Gerald McCoy DT Oklahoma **
22.) James Laurinaitis ILB Ohio State
23.) Michael Johnson DE Georgia Tech
24.) Brian Cushing OLB USC
25.) Brandon Pettigrew TE Oklahoma State
26.) Tyson Jackson DE LSU
27.) Mark Sanchez QB USC **
28.) Sen'Derrick Marks DT Auburn**
29.) LeSean McCoy RB Pittsburgh **
30.) Percy Harvin WR/RB Florida **
31.) Jason Smith OT Baylor
32.) Brandon Spikes ILB Florida **

We coined this phrase a while back, for fun. There is a long line of interesting names for animal flocks in English like:
- A leash of greyhounds
- A gaggle of geese
- An exaltation of larks
- A shrewdness of apes
- A troop of kangaroos
- A parliament of owls
- A siege of herons
- A crash of rhinoceri
Val - The King of Kargo Bikes in Seattle - and I played a little game in the comments about what else we could come up with.
He brought two great ones to the table:
- A pallet of cargo bikes
- A lounge of recumbents
I came up with:
- A cove of beach cruisers
- A sweat of racing bikes
- A posture of Dutch/Danish bikes
- A load of Xtra cycles
Let's play! Any other amusing ideas? Post a comment. Ooh! I have one!
- A elevation of high-heeled Copenhagen cyclists...
This just in on the comments page:
Jason brilliantly proposes these:
A tower of tall bikes
A cog of fixed gear bikes
A trick of BMXers
A basket of townies
A cubby of folding bikes
A tred of mountain bikes
A convoy on commuter bikes
A union of unicycles
Steve proposes:
A bank of velodrome bikes.
Keep them coming!

I am having a weird problem. Everytime I try to start program, such as
msconfig, regedit, or a setup from a CD, and a program such as Clarion 5, it
looks as though they are going to start, via a pop-up window, then they fail
to do so.
What could be the possible problem? I have checked for spyware and viruses.

It's been said that within the next several years, there will only be six or seven automakers across the globe. So who will survive? Toyota and Honda seem like givens and BMW, despite its small size, probably has a good shot. But beyond those three, it's hard to pinpoint which of the world's current automakers will continue to be players on the world market.
What is certain is that great, feature-packed product will be one of the most important factors in determining who will be around long term.
Company size will also be a major factor, because automaker profits are dependent on economies of scale.
Mitsubishi is one of those smaller automakers that could face a difficult future. It desperately needs vehicles such as this Galant midsize sedan to find traction in the market.
Starting at $21,774, the Galant is actually priced higher compared with such heavy hitters as the Honda Accord, although an automatic transmission is standard compared with the Accord's standard five-speed manual. But it also comes up short on its list of available features. Missing are features such as traction control and stability control, which is unacceptable. Also missing is a standard auxiliary jack for hooking up an iPod or mp3 player. That seems like a particularly egregious omission in a vehicle targeted at younger folks. An iPod port is available as a $200 option.
The car doesn't handle well, and the engine is rather raucous. The ride is stiff but not all that sporting. Torque steer is a problem at lower speeds. Roads with bumps in regular patterns cause uncomfortable up-and-down motions.
The engine should be an area where the Galant shines. Mitsubishi is credited for groundbreaking work with vibration-quelling balance shafts and has in fact licensed its technology to other automakers. The Galant's 2.4-liter has decent power and makes fun noises at higher revs, but around town it sounds gravelly.
• Base price: $21,774 (including destination)
• Price as tested: $23,524
• Powertrain: Four-speed automatic transmission, front-wheel drive
• Engine: 2.4-liter four cylinder
• Horsepower: 160
• Curb weight: 3,483 pounds
• MPG: 20 city, 27 highway
• Built: Normal, Ill.
The transmission is another area where the Galant falls short. While it does have a manual shift function that is fun, it has only four forward gears. Many other cars these days have jettisoned their four-speeds for boxes with five or six cogs.
The Galant is also available with a 3.8-liter V-6 making 230 horsepower. The Ralliart version of the Galant adds variable valve timing to the V-6 for another 28 horsepower. Ordering the V-6 also upgrades the transmission to a five-speed. At least upgrading to the Ralliart does include traction control.
The seats are comfortable, especially in back where there is expansive space.
The interior is not very well finished. Other cars have better materials and parts with smoother surfaces.
The Galant has a youthful appearance, particularly inside where the center console resembles one of those overstyled boomboxes. One nice feature is heated front seats, which is rare for a car with a cloth interior. Other surprises include Bluetooth cellphone system and Homelink transmitter with auto-dimming rearview mirror.
(1-5 stars, 5 being best)
performance **
interior **
handling **
styling ****
overall **
• Good: Big, comfortable back seat, youthful style.
• Bad: Missing features such as traction control and stability control, poor ride, low fuel economy compared with others.
• Bottom line: Mitsubishi needs to up the content if it wants to keep up with other automakers.
But those niceties are just frou-frou compared with the real meat other automakers are offering.
The competition has engines as smooth as chocolate pudding and deliver superior fuel economy. They keep the car pointed in the right direction with standard stability control and traction control, and they have better interiors, proving that the Galant just doesn't have enough of the important stuff.
The auto business is the most brutal in the world. Success requires forward thinking, massive amounts of money and a strong constitution. Only the strong will survive.

Government Control of the Media

Journal of Public Economics, vol. 118, pp. 163-171, October 2014.
We present a formal model of government control of the media to illuminate variation in media freedom across countries and over time. Media bias is greater and state ownership of the media more likely when the government has a particular interest in mobilizing citizens to take actions that further some political objective but are not necessarily in citizens' individual best interest; however, the distinction between state and private media is smaller. Large advertising markets reduce media bias in both state and private media but increase the incentive for the government to nationalize private media. Media bias in state and private media markets diverge as governments become more democratic, whereas media bias in democracies and autocracies converge as positive externalities from mobilization increase.

Establishing a Web-Based Data Collection System for National School Lunch and National School Breakfast Program Data: Technical Report
Stay Connected
Electronic Publications from the Food Assistance & Nutrition Research Program No. (EFAN-04005-3) 54 pp, June 2004
This report is a followup to an initiative to establish a central website to collect data from States on the National School Lunch and the School Breakfast Programs. A central website could be used by researchers and program administrators to compare and analyze data across State and local areas for participation trends in local school district programs. The report provides an implementation plan for establishing a central website, including potential costs, benefits, and alternatives. The initiative is one of three that have the potential to improve the usefulness and cost-effectiveness of research on Federal food assistance and nutrition programs. The other initiatives are addressed in the reports Linking the Current Population Survey and State Food Stamp Program Administrative Data (E-FAN-04-005-1) and Linking WIC Program Data to Medicaid and Vital Records Data (E-FAN-04-005-2).

Yes. It's a dated expression, though.
Does 'gen somebody up' mean the same as 'inform somebody', and 'let somebody know'?
Yes. It's a dated expression, though.
I've never seen it used separably or transitively. 'I must gen up' or 'get genned up' was the WWII slang (Gen = 'general infiormation'). Today, I only meet 'gen' in cryptic crossword clues.
The modern work-place slang would be 'get someone up to speed'.
Sometimes just that, sometimes a bit more: 'tell someone about the latest developments in a project, so that they can be productive members of the new team'. So you can think of 'speed' as (figuratively) a wave, and they have to get 'up to speed' in order to surf the wave.

China's Netac sees increase in patent income as it prepares for expiration of key rightsShenzhen-based Netac Technology was an early adopter of the patent accumulation and monetisation model that now appears to be gaining a lot more traction in China. Now, seventeen years after the company's founding, the Chinese legal environment is becoming a lot more conducive to patent business. New lawsuits and financial results announced by the company indicate that it is doing its best to take advantage of the favourable environment for patent enforcement as the expiration of some of Read more

Former Intellectual Ventures fund looks to leverage new-found freedom after completing divestiture and rebrandThe Invention Development Fund (IDF), formerly one of the three main fund groups under Intellectual Ventures' (IV) management, relaunches under a new brand today as it marks the final step in its spin-out from the patent aggregation firm. The fund – the divestiture of which was revealed by its executive vice president Paul Levins at IPBC Global in Barcelona back in June – will henceforth be known as Xinova. This moniker incorporates Chinese and Latin terms for Read more

China's Oppo revealed as recipient of $4 million patent portfolio sold by Inventergy last yearNew assignment records indicate that Chinese smartphone maker Oppo was the unidentified party that made a $4 million patent purchase from NPE Inventergy in June last year. According to USPTO records, the Dongguan-based company obtained five US patents in separate assignments on 25th March this year (though these were not recorded with the USPTO until 7th September). The assignor of each of the patents was Golden Valley Holdings Limited, an entity with its address in Apia, Samoa – a Read more

Despite the CAFC's recent 101 decisions don't expect a deal frenzy or rapid rises in patent valuesOver the summer, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) issued three decisions in software patent cases which, collectively have resolved some of the questions hanging over just what is eligible for patent protection. The most recent decision, McRO (dba Planet) v Bandai Namco Games America which was issued last week, has made arguably the biggest impression on the patent-owning community. Microsoft's IP head Erich Andersen declared in a blog post that the decision Read more

LeEco signs Rader and commandeers patent-rich Coolpad, but US GC departs after just four months - UPDATEThis blog has been updated as we have now had confirmation that Joshua McGuire has left LeEco.

Chinese internet firms eyeing global expansion could turn to patent acquisitionThe giants of China's internet sector have always been overwhelmingly focused on the domestic market, and for good reason. Big winners in the space, like Tencent, Alibaba and Baidu, have emerged only after overcoming very tough local competition. With 720 million people online, the Chinese market is large enough to sustain very large businesses on its own, while the overall internet penetration rate of just 45% (compared to 84% in the US) leaves plenty of room for growth. Perhaps most Read more

At the peak of his success, Sir Ken Morrison had robust ideas about thrift. When the supermarket boss visited his stores, he'd begin in the back yard — by checking what food had been thrown out. It was a simple mantra: less waste meant cheaper prices.
"Poor people need a bargain, wealthy people appreciate one," the Yorkshireman used to say. As for the science of new store locations, there was nothing complicated about it. You merely put them where there are people: "We get on a bus and look for chimney pots."
Aged 82, Sir Ken is long out of the

Today we will install an FTP server in one of our Apple TV 1. FTP means File Transfer Protocol, and a FTP server is a program sitting in your device, waiting for someone to send him files (or ready to send them). Then, if you have an FTP server in your Apple TV, you can transfer files easily an quickly from your Mac OS (in a Finder window, Go menu and select connect to server, then ftp://locationofappletv) or your Windows machine (just enter ftp://locationofappletv in your Explorer window).
For this tutorial to work, you need to have SSH access to your Apple TV. Of course, this is the first step in any jailbreaking tutorial, so I'll assume you are past this step. If you are not, you can find more details in our How-To category.
This will only work (in an useful way) in an Apple TV1, since the Apple TV2 lacks a hard drive and FTP needs somewhere to store the files. What else do you need? Well, you need the FTP daemon. A daemon is a special kind of program in UNIX systems that watches what is happening… Oddly enough, the name comes from electromagnetism's theory father, James Maxwell. Odd happenings.

From the Wood Doctor: Wood & Moisture
Moisture Measurement and Management – Video Library
Presented by Dr. Gene Wengert, President, The Wood Doctor's Rx, LLC
As a former professor and extension specialist at Virginia Tech and researcher at the US Forest Products Lab, Dr. Wengert teaches over 30 wood processing classes and seminars a year, including sawing, grading, drying, machining and gluing. Dr. Wengert is the author of eight books and has published over 400 articles relating to the wood products industry.
Video 1 – Wood's Relationship and Reaction to Moisture
Wood always strives to achieve equilibration with the moisture levels of its environment.
Video 2 – Relative Humidity vs. Moisture Content
The moisture content of wood that is at equilibrium with its environment is determined by the relative humidity of the air surrounding the wood. All wood changes its moisture content when the humidity changes.
Video 3 – Problems Caused by Moisture Content Changes
Even small shrinkage or expansion due to moisture can cause manufacturers numerous nightmares including cracks or ill-fitting joints. Dr. Wengert discusses these issues along with tips to avoid them.
Video 4 – The Correct Moisture Content
The end use of a product determines what the correct moisture content of wood should be during manufacturing. The extra cost and care to maintain proper control over the moisture content in wood saves much time and money in rejects.
Video 5 – Storing Lumber and Wood Products
Three steps are discussed for successful control of Moisture content: proper drying and storing at lumber yard, proper EMC maintenance at the manufacturing plant, and proper storage of products at customer location.
Video 6 – Correcting Moisture Content
When wood has incorrect moisture content, it will take a long time to achieve the correct moisture content. Dr Wengert discusses how to restore wood to proper moisture content.
Video 7 – Measuring Moisture Content
Dr. Wengert discusses the definition of moisture content and verification of actual moisture content.

2011 could be Jeff Hershey's year. The 30-year-old fixture on the local music scene (most notably as bassist for the hugely popular '90s post-punk band No Motiv) has done pretty much everything an ambitious young musician can — and perhaps, should — in the process of following the creative path. He's done the songwriting, the records, the van tours, the fliers, the booking, the contracts, the networking, the merch, the bickering, the overindulgence, the breakups and the reunions. He's endured shitty agents, crooked management and sweaty bars. He's enjoyed the applause and tasted the industry's version of success. (No Motiv was the first band to sign to Vagrant Records. They shared a tour bus with Dashboard Confessional who opened for them. Their music is featured on video game soundtracks, and they played all the appropriate festivals including Warped Tour and X-Games.) Yet with more than a decade of it behind him, he still needs a day job to keep it all going — and he couldn't be happier. Supremely confident and charming to a fault, false humility is not his strong suit, but there is a peace about Hershey these days, a mature contentment fueled in part by the completion of his dearest project to date — the first record by Jeff Hershey and the Heartbeats — but also by the realization that life is short and doesn't end well. This weekend Hershey will celebrate the official release of the record Soul Music Vol.1 with a live performance at Bombay Bar & Grill. More than anything, he wants you to know that in the grand scheme of things, that particular moment will never happen again. And if you miss it, well, you miss out.
VCReporter: You are known as a rock and metal guy. What prompted you to go soul?
Jeff Hershey: I think I just got bored. You can only do so much with a certain style of music. Also, I think I grew up. When I was in metal bands and hard rock bands — which I still do — but when that was my primary thing, I liked the musicianship of it; but when I started to sing in bands and actually sing, that's when I got into soul music. Those singers, the pure emotion that comes out of their voices, is what attracted me. It's working man's music, it's honest.
The whole thing started as a novelty for me. When I was in no No Motiv, we did a tour EP where every band member had to write and record a track doing everything, and I suck at drums so that's when I wrote my first doo-wop song and made it vocal-based. I don't like to take myself too seriously but this band is definitely no joke. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel or create some new ground-breaking sound. I'm trying to write modern classics. And I think the record can stand on its own with the others from back in the day.
How has this project been received? People seem excited about the live shows.
I think it's been received really well. The heart and soul of the band is basically punk rock. We are not your traditional band playing R&B covers in a bar. I think the reason people like it is, we bring the excitement to the stage. It's like when rock 'n' roll was dangerous. You want to go to a live show to be entertained. So many bands record these days and they sound perfect, and you see them live and it's like, "What's this?" I'm very grateful for the reception and I like the spectrum of our audience from young to old. People's grandparents come. I think it's a universal band.
Does this mark a complete change of direction, or will you just add it to your other projects?
It's kind of weird because I just started a new metal band and we wrote five songs in four rehearsals, and I can say this record coming out is what I will be known for from here on out. This is the culmination of my whole life: the contacts I've made, the people I've known. I think I really found myself in this project and I'm ready to cash it in. I'm ready to burn it down.
How much of an audience is there for this type of music, and does it matter?
The scene worldwide is very tight-knit and small. There is a big scene in the U.K. that's having a resurgence. It's small but I think there's an audience for it in the way we handle it. We could play Coachella and Warped Tour and I think people would dig it. We play punk rock covers in our set. Fear songs, Misfits, Rocket From the Crypt. We know who we are and where we're from, it's not like I'm trying to pretend. I'll show up in a suit with a Merciful Fate patch on it.
What was it like to write in this style as compared to rock 'n' roll?
I've used a lot of the same formulas. It's just a pop music form. Everyone follows me on the cues and I don't even have an instrument. Communication is the key but songwriting is just a pop structure. The addition of horns was new to me, but it's basically adding a second melody on top of what's there. I usually get a vocal idea in the shower or something and record it on my phone, and then bring it to the guys. It's fun to write this stuff, it's not real challenging. If this was the most popular music today I'd think twice about it because everything is competitive, but I've learned to stop worrying about things. I've worked so hard on this project. Every day of my life has been consumed with this. I'm starting to enjoy the journey and be more patient with myself instead of going, "Are we there yet, are we there yet?" And now we're here.
Has the state of the music industry changed the way you approach making music?
Making it or selling it? They're different. I used to go to studios and pay $1,000 for a 24-hour lockout. Now everyone has pro tools and can record in their garages. Selling music — obviously you can go online and get anything for free.
You will suffer quality but a lot of people don't care about that. In No Motiv we made a lot more money because the technology was around but not as popular. But we will see. People still need something tangible. Any fan of this band will want to hear it on vinyl. We are heading toward an age where you will want ultimate quality and ultimate convenience. So you will have it on your iPod and on wax. I don't think we will ever get rid of physical stuff. I bought an album on iTunes once, and when I see it in the store I feel like I don't own it.
Are there plans for a tour?
I'm talking to three different agencies in Europe right now. That is the plan, to tour Europe first. There is a big scene for us there. I'd like to be there two or three times with this band. I've toured the States a lot, but it doesn't make sense for this band to get in a van and hang out in Wyoming for a basement show.
So, are you living the dream?
I will always have the dream but now there's more reality. I have no problem being gainfully employed — working a day job humbles me. I think the greatest art is made at that honest struggling level. I just want to enjoy my life. I'm a lot more secure these days and I'm happy to live. I've had close people die and the reality is they're not coming back. I want my legacy to live on through music. A record is timeless.
Jeff Hershey and the Heartbeats will perform live at Bombay Bar & Grill on Friday, May 13 with supporting acts La Vonettes and Alexandra & the Starlight Band.$5 cover includes CD.
Soul Music Vol.1
Jeff Hershey & the Heartbeats
Jeff Hershey sums up Soul Music Vol. 1 perfectly: "31 minutes of knock-down, drag-out rock 'n' soul."
Painstakingly recorded live to tape, it's a process that's considered de rigueur in the soul revival community because it imparts an authenticity that cannot be captured any other way. All the gear was old, down to the mics.
Instead of the microperfectionism that's common to the most state-of-the-art digital recording process, there's no hiding behind a live recording. The band must be flawlessly rehearsed and super-tight — the Heartbeats absolutely are. Featuring arguably Ventura County's best rhythm section, Sam Bolle on bass (Agent Orange, Dick Dale, Slacktone) and Tony Cicero on drums (Saccharine Trust, Big River, Park Bench Prophets); along with Joe Baugh, the hardest working guitarist in town; and Kyle O'Donnell (Park Bench Prophets) on saxophone, the sound they produce together would make Motown's Funk Brothers smile. "Obviously, they are the highest-caliber musicians that I know," says Hershey.
Engineered by Pete Curry (Los Straitjackets), Hershey says the studio was "like going in a time machine. It fit the vibe perfectly for the band." And Hershey spared no expense on the details. "Every element was key for getting the sound. I didn't want to cop out on anything," he said, explaining that if any little thing went wrong, they couldn't just fix the part, they would have to remix the entire song, which is why recording in this fashion is not for the weak.
"So, sometimes, you've got three guys on a mixing board and it's all timed out live. It's a lost art, mixing that way." Fortunately, it's a method that Hershey and his band of veteran players are not unfamiliar with. Back in the day, upstart bands couldn't afford time in the studio so they'd be forced to manically rehearse and record live as quickly as possible. "We couldn't afford to fuck up," he said. "These days you can make a perfect recording, but what is that?
It's just a computer." Soul Music Vol. 1 will be available on iTunes, in record stores as a CD and eventually on vinyl.
CDs will also be complimentary at the release show with a $5 cover charge.

Quotes by U S wrestlers Ruiz and Warren and coach Fraser after bronze medal matches at World Championships60 kg/132 lbs. - Joe Warren, Colorado Springs, Colo. (New York AC)
"I just embarrassed myself. I come here for the first time and didn't get it done. I made mistakes. When you make mistakes, you lose. I'm embarrassed with myself. I feel ashamed. I wanted it worse than anything. It feels like the world came crashing down on me. You make a mistake in a big match and you lose. The second match I lost was pathetic."
96 kg/211.5 lbs. - Justin Ruiz, Colorado Springs, Colo. (New York AC)
"I feel great. This is the biggest accomplishment I have had in wrestling. I was glad I got back into the tournament. I knew he was tough. I thought the Hungarian could make the finals. I got a second chance, another tournament. It wasn't easy though. This feels great."
"The rules are how things worked out for me, with three cautions and you are out. I think he didn't know what was going on. He seemed happy to be on top in the third period. When he didn't get the turn right away, he kind of stayed there. It was a slip on his part. I'll take it."
"This year, the rules have been crazy. A different tournament, different rules. They will stay with these rules for awhile. Before, I wrestled more on my feet, where I was comfortable. I didn't have as much par terre experience. But this year, I closed the gap."
"I feel great winning a World medal. It is one of my goals. I had a setback last year not making the Olympic team. It has been great here. I'm glad we got a medal. In 2003, when I was on the World team, we didn't get a medal. We got one this year. Hopefully, in the future, we get more."
USA Wrestling National Greco-Roman Coach Steve Fraser
"Justin wrestled so smart. He was very patient every match. He had a great defense. What won it for him was his defense in par terre. Kazakhstan has a great reverse lift. He stopped it three times. He also stopped Hungary two times. I am so happy for him. He deserves it. He worked hard all year, he never complains, he does what he is told. He has a great attitude and is a great leader. Nothing rattles him. He stayed calm. Justin avenged a big loss to Kazakhstan just two months ago. He pushed him on his feet, got him tired and had great defense."
"The medal makes a big difference. It is big between one and zero. It is not our goal. We want to be better. But considering how we started, and with the new rules we are all learning, I'll take one medal. We can leave here with our head high because of what Justin did. Our delegation can take pride in this achievement. We can leave with a shiny bronze medal. It is something to build upon. And this is a great confidence builder for Justin."
"I am proud of Joe Warren. He exemplifies what our American fighting style is about. He's a competitor. He will keep improving. We will clean up his skills. With that fighting spirit, he will win some medals. He gave his all every match. He lost to the silver medalist, very close. He had a couple of mistakes. This year, he overcame some injuries and had some setbacks. This was his first time at the big championships. He was not afraid. He fought like a warrior. That is what we need. They will learn the skills. We need fighters and warriors. He has that street fighting mentality. When he puts that with great technique, he will be unstoppable."

LEWISTOWN - A full day of testimony was heard on Tuesday during the second day of a vehicular homicide trial.
By mid-afternoon Judge Rick Williams, along with defense attorney Joseph Amendola and Assistant District Attorney Dave Barron, opted to send the jury home and bring the members back Thursday to hear closing arguments before they begin their deliberations.
The second day of the trial for 43-year-old Carl Briggs was much the same as the first day of testimony and revolved around the defense's assertion that Briggs was not drunk when he struck and killed 64-year-old Bruce E. Kauffman and 63-year-old Judy K. Kauffman while they were riding their Harley Davidson motorcycle on U.S. 22/522 near McVeytown. The defense contends Briggs was in the midst of a diabetic episode when the crash occurred.
Briggs is alleged to have been under the influence of alcohol on Oct. 8, 2011, when his SUV struck the Kauffmans' motorcycle in the late afternoon around 4:40 p.m.
During the first day of the trial Barry George, a witness for the prosecution who was driving in front of Briggs before the incident, described how the accident unfolded.
George said Briggs was attempting to pass him when he noticed a motorcycle coming in the opposite direction. He attempted to slow down in order to give Briggs room to move back over into the southbound lane, but the SUV and motorcycle collided nearly head on.
Both George and his wife Dolores testified they believed the motorcycle had its headlight on.
Amendola asked the Georges if it was a sunny day, and if the sun had been in their eyes.
The Georges confirmed it was sunny; both of them claimed to have been wearing sunglasses at the time of the accident.
Amendola had suggested on Tuesday that the sun may have been a contributing factor to the accident.
Briggs' blood alcohol content was .077 when he was tested at Lewistown Hospital shortly after the accident, which is below the legal limit of .08 in Pennsylvania.
Among the last to testify on Tuesday was Dr. J. Ward Donovan, Chief Medical Toxicologist at Pinnacle Health Systems, who was able to extrapolate that Briggs' blood-alcohol content at the time of the accident was at or above .08 and may have been as high as .10.
Dr. Ted Hetrick was the first witness to testify for the defense on Wednesday.
Hetrick is an emergency room physician at Lewistown Hospital who examined Briggs approximately two hours after the accident.
Hetrick testified Briggs did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol.
Then Amendola called Briggs' sister, Amanda Seachrist, and his mother, Beverly Briggs, to testify.
Both testified that the defendant had a long history of diabetic episodes of which he has no clear memory.
"Sometimes it was like he was in a zombie state," Seachrist said.
Briggs' mother said that there were times during these diabetic episodes in which his demeanor would be similar to that of someone who was intoxicated.
She said his speech may have been slurred or perhaps he would have difficulty walking.
In addition, both testified that Briggs has no recollection of these severe diabetic events.
Seachrist said when she visited her brother in the hospital the night of the accident he was extremely distraught.
"He was sitting in bed crying he wanted to die. He was afraid he was going to hell, that God would hate him. We prayed with him," she said.
At one point during her testimony, Briggs' mother said her son stated that very same night that "it should have been me that died."
She also said she never saw her son go into a diabetic episode after drinking alcohol.
Briggs' mother did state that her son had several of these diabetic episodes in the week or weeks leading up to the crash, and had lowered the dose of insulin he was injecting.
Briggs took the stand as well, laying out what he had done the day of the crash.
Among the things Briggs testified about were explanations for those who reported he had glassy, bloodshot eyes on the day of the crash.
Briggs testified he had several eye surgeries years ago, which as a result have left his eyes almost permanently blood shot.
Briggs testified he took his morning dose of insulin, had breakfast, lunch and then got a six-pack of beer while at a friends house.
Briggs testified he drank four beers at a friends house in the afternoon, then left sometime during the first quarter of a Penn State football game.
Briggs said that in the month leading up to the crash his doctor had changed the dosage of his medication, which he believes led to an increase in these diabetic episodes, so he dialed down the dosage and they became less frequent.
Briggs added that if he had believed he was a danger behind the wheel of a car, he wouldn't have driven.
Briggs said he has no recollection of the accident and doesn't recall anything from the time he hit the red light in McVeytown until he was at Lewistown Hospital.
On cross examination by Barron, he asked Briggs if he remembered speaking with Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Stephen Griffith while he was sitting in EMT Nick Price's ambulance.
Briggs said he did not recall the conversation, which Griffith testified to on Tuesday, stating that Briggs smelled of alcohol and was talking slowly and had bloodshot eyes.
Price had testified on Tuesday that he, too, smelled alcohol on Briggs, however he appeared conscious and alert and discussed the accident. Price added that 20 to 25 minutes into his conversation with Briggs, he slumped over and became unresponsive. He was then given glucose orally by Price and a paramedic gave him an injection shortly thereafter which eventually brought Briggs back to a conscious state.
Amendola called toxicologist Lawrence Guzzard to testify on Wednesday to refute direct testimony given by Guzzard's friend and colleague during the first day of the trial, toxicologist J. Ward Donovan.
Guzzard said the data associated with this particular case is "poor," and that it is very difficult to extrapolate backwards to determine an individuals BAC to a specific point in time.
"Alcohol absorption is not a simple matter, it's a complex matter," he said.
Guzzard said that in this particular incident, it was better to rely on the testimony of those came into direct contact with Briggs on the day of the accident.
"In this case there was no evidence that alcohol contributed to (a diabetic) event in the past," he said.
Once again, Mountain Dew came up during testimony as a possible supplement to fend off the beginnings of a diabetic episode.
Briggs, as well as others both Tuesday and Wednesday testified he would always have Mountain Dew on him, as a precaution to keep his blood sugar from crashing.
Guzzard said it could cause an upward trend in blood sugar, thus helping someone maintain a more normal blood sugar level.
"Mountain Dew is two and half times the sugar the EMT gave him," he said.
Guzzard also testified that during severe diabetic events, a person can have memory loss.
Guzzard further stated that the adrenaline created during the accident could have raised Briggs' blood sugar temporarily, which would account for consciousness immediately following the accident and before he slumped over in the ambulance.
Guzzard said that ultimately there may have been many factors that contributed to the accident, however he believes it was primarily the result of Briggs' drop in blood sugar.
Donovan was then called briefly to rebut Guzzard's testimony.
The jury will decide today if Briggs is guilty or not guilty of vehicular homicide, as well as charges of homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence, aggravated assault by vehicle while DUI, DUI, involuntary manslaughter and several other traffic violations.
Closing arguments begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Mifflin County Court of Common Pleas. The jury is expected to have the case for deliberations sometime this morning. Pending further court action, Briggs remains free on bail.

Flow Cytometry Facility
The flow cytometry facility is contained and maintained within the Department of Molecular Sciences, MSB214, and the Cancer Research Building, Rm. 146. The facility includes two analytical flow cytometers and a cell sorter. The facility functions as a core laboratory accessible to all PIs and research laboratories at UTHSC as well as other institutions and companies in the Memphis area and is operated on a fee-for-service basis. The facility is directed by Dr. Tony Marion, Professor, Department of Molecular Sciences and has a full-time, highly trained operator, Dr. Dan Rosson. Dr. Rosson has many years of training and expertise in cell biology, particularly cancer cell biology, and flow cytometry. Both Drs. Rosson and Marion are available to all users for help in designing and implementing protocols to implement flow cytometry and cell sorting within their research projects.
Cell Sorter: FACSAria Special Order System (BD Biosciences)
The cell sorter is equipped with four lasers with twelve fluorescence detectors, in addition to FSC and SSC PMTs. The 0-100 mW 488 nm blue diode laser is equipped with five fluorescence detectors and a SSC detector in an octagon configuration. This laser is filtered for detection of FITC, PE, PerCP-Cy5.5, PE-TxRd, and PE-Cy7. The 30 mW 638 nm red diode laser is equipped with three fluorescence detectors in a trigon configuration, and is filtered for detection of APC, APC-Cy7, and Alexa700. The 50 mW 405 nm violet diode laser has two fluorescence detectors in a trigon configuration, and is filtered for detection of Pacific Blue/Cascade Blue/Alexa405 and AmCyan/Pacific Orange/Alexa430. The 20 mW 355 nm solid-state UV laser has two fluorescence detectors in an octagon configuration, and has upgrade capacity for Qdots. Detection of Hoechst, Indo-1 (Ca-bound and unbound), and DAPI can be accomplished using this laser. FSC detection is selectable between PMT (for increased sensitivity and detection of subcellular particles and bacteria < 0.2 micrometer) and diode (for eukaryotic cells). The instrument has two-and four-way sort capacity (into tubes or microtubes) with sort rates of 22,000 events/sec in purity sort mode with predicted recovery of 80% and 98% purity. This sort rate allows for sorting the entire mononuclear cell population from a single mouse spleen in approximately 1 hour. The unit is also specially equipped with: 1) temperature controlled sample injection and cell collection chambers, 2) biosafety level-2 aerosol containment (for sorting infectious samples), and 3) automated cell deposition (including single cell) into microwell plates or onto microscope slides.

The LSR II flow cytometer is equipped with four lasers with eleven fluorescence detectors, in addition to FSC and SSC PMTs. The 22 mW 488 nm blue laser is equipped with four fluorescence detectors and a SSC PMT, in an octagon configuration, and is filtered for detection of FITC, PE, PerCP-Cy5.5, PE-TxRd, and PE-Cy7. The 20 mW 638 nm red laser has three fluorescence detectors (in a trigon configuration) which are capable of detecting APC, APC-Cy7, and Alexa700. The 22 mW 405 nm violet laser has two fluorescence detectors (in a trigon configuration), that have capacity to detect Pacific Blue/Cascade blue/Alexa405, and AmCyan/Pacific Orange/Alexa430. The 60 mW 355 nm solid-state UV laser has two fluorescence detectors (in a trigon configuration), which can detect Hoechst, Indo-1 (Ca-bound and unbound) for Ca2+-flux measurements, and DAPI. This instrument is also equipped with a programmable HTS (high throughput screening device) for automated collection of data from 96-384 well microplates.
Flow Cytometer: FACSCalibur (Sort) (BD Biosciences)
The FACSCalibur flow cytometer is equipped with two lasers, a 488 nm blue and 635 nm red, and four fluorescence detectors in addition to forward and side scatter. The instrument will be located in the recently completed Cancer Biology Building. This instrument has limited sorting capability but because of the relatively slow sort speed is used primarily for analysis.

Patrolman First Class Robert Blajszczak, 39, of Summerville, grew up in Buffalo, N.Y. He landed in the South because of his dads job.
He graduated from Trident Tech with a Criminal Justice degree, worked for the Georgia Dept. of Corrections, Berkeley County Detention Center, Moncks Corner Police Department and Edisto Beach Police Department before joining SPD in 2007.
I always wanted to do police work, he says, it always felt right to me.
He began at SPD on patrol and is now in the Traffic division. He is certified as an accident reconstructionist, on Data Master (breathalyzer), for the Standard Field Sobriety Test, for Radar/Lidar, in Basic Detective, has been through Interdiction and Crime Prevention schools and is a certified Field Training Officer.
His worst experience, he recalls, was the suicide of a kid the same age as me. It hit home.
His best, though, was a 25-pound marijuana bust. He says as of now this is the most seized from a traffic stop for the Moncks Corner PD.
In fact, that stop went down in the judicial annals. There was a suppression hearing, trying to get the marijuana dismissed State vs Williams having to do with the nature of the stop vs the drug find. His stop was good.
His professional goal is to become a traffic safety instructor.
He and his wife Christina, have four children Ty, 17, Kylie, 15, Austin, 12 and Haylee, 7.
He enjoys golf and spending time with his family.
Sometimes he has time to read, he says.
He helps his girls play softball and would like to have the time to coach softball. Time doesnt permit, he says, I really wish it did.
He enjoys watching TV, especially NCIS, Criminal Minds and the old JAG series.
Sometimes, he says, he likes to cook, but I dont like to clean up!
When I was 15 or 16, I was in food service.
He enjoys the annual Fire vs Police softball tournament.
For fun he and his wife go out to dinner or go downtown.
He loves history and discovering all of Charlestons history. He enjoys the various tours such as the Ghost Tour, and going to the theater.
He used to play bass guitar and sing, he says. He played with his church in high school. In fact, he was quite the thespian, playing the lead in Guys & Dolls.
He enjoys country music, especially older stuff.
His life goal, he says, used to be to make my parents proud I think Ive done that.
Now it is to make sure my son and Christinas three do the best they can and have a good life.

WASHINGTON -- Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, the last hope of conservatives trying to deny the GOP nomination to front-runner John McCain, would seem a good bet in today's Louisiana primary.
But after sweeping the South on Super Tuesday, with wins in Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and West Virginia, Huckabee hasn't campaigned in Louisiana and hasn't displayed much of a campaign operation, according to state GOP officials.
''It's a mystery,'' said Louisiana Republican Party Chairman Roger Villere. Villere is backing McCain but said he is surprised Huckabee did not schedule time in the state, especially after former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who had competed with Huckabee for conservative votes, dropped out of the race Thursday.
Huckabee spokeswoman Alice Stewart said the former governor has a ''deep fondness in his heart for the state, especially those affected by Hurricane Katrina.'' She said he is hopeful of doing well in today's primary, in part because as governor he quickly committed the Arkansas National Guard to rescue work in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina and oversaw the logistics for welcoming about 75,000 hurricane evacuees to his state.
Huckabee campaigned Friday in Kansas, which has a caucus today.
''A lot of people say, 'Isn't it a very complicated process for you to win?' The answer is yes,'' Huckabee said. ''But you know it's a very simple way to lose: I can just quit.'' He said voters are entitled to have an unapologetic conservative in the race -- at least until either he or McCain clinches the GOP nomination.
Gene Mills, executive director of the conservative Louisiana Family Forum, said he does not know why Huckabee, especially in light of his Super Tuesday success in Southern states that proved Romney's undoing, didn't make a stronger push in Louisiana.
"A personal standpoint, I'll have no trouble pulling the lever for Mike Huckabee on Saturday,'' Mills said.
Social conservatives like him, Mills said, aren't ready to embrace McCain quite yet. He said it will take more than Thursday's speech to a conservative group, in which McCain promised to wage his race for the White House against the Democratic nominee based on conservative principles.

No booze, no reason
Luke Joseph Westbury was arrested by Summerville Police, Nov. 2, for Assault and Battery, Public Intoxication and Resisting Arrest after police responded to Irongate for a report of an assault in progress.
Westbury was observed, on police arrival, running through the back yard toward the front of the residence. When police identified themselves and ordered Westbury to stop, he continued to flee into the woods where he finally stopped running. He was ordered several times to lie on the ground with his hands out to the side. He finally complied and was placed in handcuffs. He admitted to police he had been drinking.
The victim told police he and his wife had been asleep when Westbury woke him asking for more alcohol. When the victim said "no," Westbury put him in a shoulder lock from which he was able to break free. Westbury then attempted to tackle him. Westbury also destroyed part of the victim's C-Pap machine and when he went to go downstairs to get a replacement part, Westbury slammed him into the wall, which broke a table.
Don't know 'em, don't go
On Nov. 1, around 12:30 a.m., Dorchester County Sheriff's deputies were conducting a traffic checkpoint when they noticed the victim, unconscious in the back of a vehicle with abrasions. EMS responded. Witnesses said they were in the vehicle when a friend of the driver approached them in the Publix parking lot on Central Ave. The individual was only known as "Danny" and he told them he knew where a party was so they followed him to an unknown location on Hwy. 61, in Ridgeville. Witnesses told deputies there were only the four of them and three other males at this party. When the victim went into the house to go to the bathroom, a man called "Tyler" and two other males assaulted him, hitting him repeatedly and slamming his head into the side of the house a number of times.
The victim was unable to stop vomiting but maintained consciousness long enough to speak with police. Witnesses told police the victim had told them he had taken one Klotopin and drank some beer. He was transported to Trident Medical Center. Witnesses refused to give formal statements. The matter is not under investigation.
Even the dogs ...
On Nov. 2, a woman in Sprucewood, Summerville, told Dorchester County Sheriff's deputies that while walking her dog on Birch Lane, she and her dog were attacked by a large black dog.
She said she was finally able to fight off the attacking dog which then ran off to an unknown residence. The victim told police she was bitten on her foot and hand and that her dog was also injured.
She told police she was taking her dog to the emergency vet hospital but did not want medical attention for herself. Deputies were unable to locate the large black dog.

With key midterm elections approaching, the Republican Party is gaining more ground over Democrats according to a recent Gallup poll.
The weekly Gallup survey shows that the GOP leads 51 percent to 41 percent among registered voters.
The 10-point lead is the largest for Republicans this year and in Gallup's history of tracking the generic preference for Congress.
The latest survey is based upon a survey of registered voters conducted from Aug. 23 - 29.
The generic ballot poll is used as a predictor of the national vote for Congress. Gallup, one of America's oldest pollsters, has been tracking the generic preference since 1942.
Midterm elections will be held Nov. 2.

I think there are some gaps to fill, but the number one concern is a natural goal scorer that is worth 30+ goals / season. I look forward to tartar and nyquist getting some solid work in over the off season and getting to play a full season next year being centered by Zetterberg or Datsyuk. Also i think with some more work and experience Brunner could be worth 25+ goals. I like the team we have now and i wouldnt want to see a huge change unless it is for a keith Yandle type defencemen or a Bobby Ryan type forward. Both of those players with the chance to let our young players grow will be a promising year.

Seven time's the charm for retired boxer Jake Lamotta - he is walking down the aisle again at the age of 90.
The fighting great, who was portrayed by Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese's classic movie Raging Bull, is set to marry 62-year-old Denise Baker on 4 January (13) in Bisbee, Arizona.
His fiancee tells the New York Post, "We're getting married at a justice of the peace."
The couple will celebrate its nuptials with friends and family a few days later, but the soon-to-be newlyweds likely won't be going on a honeymoon.
Baker jokes, "At Jake's age, we'll have to come home and take a nap."
LaMotta has been married a total of six times.
There's already an Oscars buzz surrounding this movie.

House conservatives are announcing an alternative to Obamacare Wednesday. It's the first comprehensive response to the president's unpopular health care reform law. The proposal offers tax relief for those who purchase their own insurance.
Individuals could claim a $7,500 deduction, while families could deduct up to $20,000.
Meanwhile, Republican leaders in the House are considering using a stop-gap spending bill to try and defund Obamacare. It's a move that could cause a government shutdown. The Democrat-controlled Senate is expected to remove any provision that denies money to Obamacare and send it back to the House.

N E W Y O R K, May 14
Lisa McRee: We continue now with more on Indias underground nuclear
tests which were conducted yesterday and Monday. And the question remains,
why did India risk international outrage and economic sanctions? And how
will its actions affect strained relations with Pakistan and China who
may decide to retaliate? Joining us now from Washington is the Indian
ambassador to the U.S., Naresh Chandra.
Ambassador Naresh Chandra: Good morning.
Lisa McRee: What did China or Pakistan do that made you feel threatened?
Ambassador Naresh Chandra: Well, you see, we had evidence of growing military relationship which was nuclear weapons technology and also missile development. And this was creating a situation where we felt that we were being treated as a power of no military consequence.
Lisa McRee: President Clinton actually said that you conducted the tests
because India feels it is underappreciated in the world as a great power.
Whats your response to that comment?

Rayne set for rematch with Church Point
CROWLEY – Rivalry games are what make high school football what it is today.
Each year, fans eagerly look forward to those games, circling them on their schedules and engaging in playful trash talk with fans of their opponents.
In most cases, when the game is over, the rivalry is over for a year and the winner owns 52 weeks of bragging rights.
But not in all cases.
Take the rivalry between the Church Point Bears and Rayne Wolves, for instance.
The Bears defeated the Wolves 26-14 in Rayne on Oct. 18 to earn those bragging rights for the second straight season.
But guess what?
Three weeks later, in a replay of the 2011 season, the Bears found out that they would square off once again against the Wolves, this time, like last, in the opening round of the 2012 state playoffs.
Talk about déjà vu!
"Honestly, I would like for someone to figure out what the odds were of that happening again," said Church Point coach John Craig Arceneaux, whose team defeated Rayne in their 2011 regular-season matchup and then lost to the Wolves in the first-round of the Class 3A playoffs.
"We knew there was a small outside chance it could happen (this year), but it would require a lot of things to happen. And they all happened.
"I'd love to know what the odds are for it to happen a second year in a row. It's just mind-boggling."
That it was, and not just to Arceneaux.
Rayne coach Curt Ware was also shocked when he saw the official brackets released Sunday.
"That's unbelievable," said Ware, whose team moved up three spots in the power rankings following their Week 10 victory over Northwest. "I never even thought about that being a possibility.
"I didn't think we'd move up and I definitely didn't think Church Point would drop 11 spots after losing to a 10-0 team."
Similar to 2011, the Bears entered the playoffs as the No. 7 seed and were upset by the No. 26 Wolves, 22-14, in Church Point.
This year, the Wolves are the host team after earning the No. 6 seed. The Bears enter as the underdog at No. 27.
"The seedings have flip-flopped from last year, but we're still going into the game with us having won the regular season game," said Arceneaux. "Our approach to the game is going to be no different than it was last year, just, hopefully with a different outcome."
Once again, it will be a battle of what each team does best.
For Rayne, that's moving the ball and scoring points while Church Point's strong suit is its defense.
In the two teams' first meeting this year, the Wolves took a 14-7 advantage in the first half, but the Bears' took over in the final two frames and outscored Rayne 19-0.
"Our strength has been and will continue to be our defense," said Arceneaux. "Coach (Eric) Cooley and our defensive staff made some nice adjustments at halftime (the first time we played) to kind of slow down some things that hurt us in the first half and we were able to shut them out.
"The effort of our kids was great and we were able to make some plays and stop some drives."
In their first meeting with Rayne, Church Point limited the Wolves to 249 total yards of offense, most of which came in the first half.
"I would say, without a doubt, Church Point is the best defensive team that we have played," said Ware. "They had a lot to do with it (stopping the Wolves) but I felt that we didn't do a great job either. We can make some adjustments on how we block and a few things that could have helped.
"They did a good job of taking away our inside running game. If we can get the inside running game going, it will help us on the outside."
Arceneaux's defense will once again be pushed to the limits by a Rayne offense that is averaging just under 30 points per game.
That offense is led by a trio of running backs, including Acadia Parish leading rusher Jalen Williams, who has racked up 1,265 yards and 14 touchdowns on 172 carries through nine games. He missed last week's game due to a concussion but he is expected back for Friday's contest.
Trent Duhon and Javon Cormier filled the void left by Williams and combined for 299 yards and five touchdowns in a 45-14 victory over Northwest.
"Rayne gives you a bunch of formations and they scheme you up pretty good," said Arceneaux. "And Jalen is as good a back as you're going to face year in and year out; he runs the ball hard, he's a big, physical kid and he breaks tackles.
"They just do a great job with the kids that they have."
Rayne's defensive unit will also be challenged.
The Bears' Wing T offense is averaging just over 21 points per game and has gotten progressively better as they year has gone by.
Running back James Bellard leads the charge 886 yards and nine touchdowns on 121 carries.
Also doing damage in the backfield for the Bears are Devin Landry (75-466, 4 TD) and Deion Monroe (21-239, 3 TD).
"In the first five or six games, they were in the pistol," said Ware. "Once they decided to go back to what they do (Wing-T), they have gotten progressively better.
"They don't run a whole lot of stuff on offense, but they execute real, real well. I think they are heads and tails better on offense than they were even a month ago.
"We just have to be sound and be in the right place."
Since it is such a big rivalry, the key for each team will be to get through the next few days and avoid the many distractions that come with a game and matchup of such magnitude.
"This game is going to be hyped up a lot, especially with the way things went last year and here we are again," said Ware. "To be honest, I've been trying to keep that on the back burner. It doesn't matter who you play, it's a playoff game; you win or you go home.
"We have to not worry so much about the fact that it is Church Point. It doesn't matter who it is. We need to get ready to play and play well and not get caught up in the emotion that it is Church Point."
