The iPhone may not yet have a majority share in the smartphone world, but it's well on its way. And that means creating a version of your website tailored to the look and feel of the iPhone is all but mandatory for today's web apps.
It might seem like a pain to completely recreate your website just for the iPhone, but luckily doing so isn't all that tough. The secret is to use the JavaScript toolset developed by Joe Hewitt. Hewitt's script, known as iUI, takes care of all the heavy lifting for you.
So long as your site is using valid (X)HTML, it's not hard at all to sequester off a domain for your iPhone users and apply the iUI tools to generate your iPhone-friendly site. Even better, you don't need to be a JavaScript guru to get a basic site up and running.
Grab the code from the link above and let's get started.
Detecting versus Destination
Don't do that.
Just because you're offering iPhone users a dedicated interface doesn't mean you should force them to use it. Many of them may want to access your normal site, and if you're using a browser detection script to redirect Mobile Safari, they won't be able to get to the main site.
A far better plan is create a subdomain (like m.twitter.com) or other specific iPhone-friendly URL. That way, those who like your iPhone interface can get it and those that want access to the regular site can site enjoy that as well.
Getting Started
The first thing to do is set up your subdomain or other URL. For example: i.mysite.com. When you're doing this, keep in mind that the iPhone isn't the easiest thing to type on. So, the shorter the URL, the better.
Now you just need to generate some HTML for that subdomain. If you're using a database and template publishing system, it's not too tough. Just call the same data you'd get for your main site and structure it in a manner that suits the iPhone.
This is where it helps if you actually have an iPhone, but if you don't here's a tip to get you started: lists! Lots of lists.
Using Lists
The iUI library has a very nice set of tools that will turn your lists into a sideways-sliding navigation interface that works very well with the iPhone's finger gestures.
For instance, let's say you have a number of categories on your site and you want iPhone users to be able to navigate through all your content by category. One sound strategy would be to generate markup like this:
  <title>iUI Barrel of Monkeys Demo</title> <meta name="viewport" content="width=320; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;"/>

Barrel of Monkeys
  Search

B

Bananas

Barrels

M

Monkeys

P

Pointy Sticks

With this markup, we've embedded the iUI scripts and CSS. Then we've told iUI to create an iPhone styled list, like so:
If you look at the screenshot you'll notice that iUI automatically uses the class attribute "group" to build iPhone-style list dividers and styles all our links as horizontal sliding elements.
If you'll look at the actual HTML, you'll notice none of our links actually lead to other pages. Depending on the complexity of your site, this may not work for every page. However, for the most part, even though your users will feel like they're paging through you site, you don't actually need to load a new page. Your interface is speedier that way.
So let's add some more content. Paste this code in just below the list code:

Howler

Spider

Rhesus

Barbary Ape

Howler Monkeys love to howl.

Now if you head to your page using a iPhone (or an emulator) and tap/click on the "Monkeys" name, the page will slide to the right and display our new list. Click on the "Howler Monkey" link and you'll slide over to a blank page with our paragraph text.
Beyond Lists
Obviously, not everything you're going to want to show on the iPhone is going to be a list. But don't worry, iUI can help out with other stuff too. There are some HTML classes to handle common input elements like modal dialogs, preference panels, on/off switches and loads more.
It also neatly solves a common iPhone design issue — long lists. Apple's apps get around the problem of long lists by including a "load X more" link at the bottom of a short list. And that's exactly what iUI allows you to do as well. Just create a link with target="_replace" and iUI will load the URL it and replace the
 with the contents of the URL.
Of course you'll probably find some of your content falls outside the bounds of iUI and in the end you may have to write some CSS yourself. But for handling common cases on the iPhone, iUI is an indispensable resource.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

This Long Island boy calls Delmarva home. I have been here with Delmarva Broadcasting
and Cool 101.3 for almost 10 years! I grew up with the Eagles, the Police and Earth
Wind & Fire. I Love the music we play on Cool 101.3. When I'm not in the studio or at
Steve's Seaside Saloon, you can find me on anyone of Delmarva's golf courses seeking
to break 90. Thank you for listening to Cool 101.3. And check this blog for my rants,
entertaining videos and anything else I might think you will enjoy!
You know, I think you appreciate vacations more as you get older.
Even if you love your job, some down time to chill and recharge your batteries.
BUT, you can't help but worry about what is going on at work. Have you forgotten to do something important?
Has somebody done something to mess up your hard work? Usually not... but the worry is always there.
Then there is the issue of trying to get everything done so you can take time off... How impossible is this task? There is absolutely noooo waayy I can get everything done. And if you could get everything done, why not do that on a regular basis? That way you'd have a busy, crazy week... then the next week could be casual... come in late.. enjoy a long lunch... then, next week work your butt off. Not a bad plan. Basically working 26 weeks a year.
Not sure if you could pull it off. The boss would probably just find more for you to do.
The key is to pace yourself. Work is a long distance race. Not a sprint.
But don't let the boss hear that...

The Nashwauk City Council opted to add five new firefighters to the city's department at its meeting last week.
The council approved the new members at the request of Chief John Calaguire, who noted that the department has been working with five applicants for the past two and one-half months.
The city currently has 19 firefighters – with one expected to leave soon. The five additional members will still keep the department well within its cap of 26 members.
Calaguire told the council that the new members would be subject to background checks and successful completion of a physical prior to final instatement with the fire department.
In another significant development, Mayor Bill Hendricks announced at the conclusion of council business that he would not seek another term. The filing period for city offices opens on July 29 and concludes on Aug. 12.
In other business, the council:
• Approved the minutes of the June 24 council meeting.
• Passed a motion to check on the presence of asbestos in a house that would potentially be used for firefighter training.
• Approved a beautification project to be taken on by the fire department.
• Thanked all the volunteers who helped make the city's annual Fourth of July festival a success.
• Approved adding two officers to the city's part-time police officer list, pending successful completion of background checks and evaluations.
• Approved costs associated with training for Tiffany Bodin – EMT ambulance. The training will take place on Oct. 10-11.
• Agreed to send a letter setting a deadline date of the next council meeting for removal of pumps at the former Spur station.
• Approved a partial payment to Mesabi Bituminous in the amount of $73,949.66 for 2013 street improvements.
• Approved a partial payment to Casper Construction for $166,661.87 for the city's Fourth Street project.
• Tabled a decision on making a donation to the Itasca County Historical Society until the city's next budget meeting in the fall.
• Passed a motion directing the city clerk to keep unresolved business items on the council agenda until the issues are resolved.
• Canceled the council meeting slated for Aug. 12 due to primary elections.
• Directed Karen Calaguire to proceed with obtaining bids for a new ambulance. Calaguire hopes to equip this one with a power lift cot as a safety issue. It will, however, impact final cost. Preliminary estimates indicate a cost between $63,000 and $69,000, not including the power lift cot, she told the council.
• Accepted a resignation from Dave Savolainen from the city's zoning committee.

" Brand: Coryse / Ageing / Type: Serum / Subcategory: Anti-Ageing / Skin type: for dry skin and for all types / What it does: Rejuvenates, Lifts, "
Coryse salome serum lift
Ever a sucker for anti ageing products, I bought almost the whole range of these products firm in the belief that if I was using all of the same make, then the effects would be magnified!
**What is it?**
This is apparently the "ultimate" serum for keeping your age a secret! It will give an immediate lifting effect and has a long term anti wrinkle action as well as rebuild skin's support. Eventually, with use, it promises to firm facial features and preserve youth. So, maybe i should have started to use it years ago or it will just preserve the here and now...
**Product and Packaging**
The serum comes in a box with information and instructions on the back and a leaflet detailing other products in the range inside the box.
The serum itself is in a glass 30ml jar with a pull off cap and a press down dispenser. When I press down the dispenser to get the serum out, I find that a couple of presses is enough serum for my face. The serum is lightly scented with a faint floral smell, like the other products in the range, and is not overly thick. It is easily absorbed by the skin and makes skin feel fresh and clean.
**How to use it...**
It tells me to apply morning and night avaoiding the eye area, but doesn't tell me anything else so I have been applying it after cleansing and toning but before moisturising.
**Price and Availability...**
The RRP is £20 for 30ml which is a tad steep but check out sites such as www.fragrancedirect.co.uk which usually has these kind of products on special offer
**Other products in the range**
There are a number of anti ageing products in this range including:
* Refining lip contour care
* Regenerating hand care
* Refining eye contour care
* Firming body care
** What I think of it...**
It certainly wasn't a wrinkle reducing miracle serum but the more I try out these products the more I believe that there isn't one which miraculously rids one of lines and wrinkles. However, it does have a smoothing effect on the skin and when applied, my skin looked fresher and less tired. I tend to cleanse tone and then apply the serum and follow this with moisturiser, so my skin has been feeling very hydrated, which I have found useful especially after having spent two weeks in the sunshine.
So, for anyone who wants a bit of extra skin moisture and who can be bothered with this, I would recommend it but only at the reduced price.
Thanks for reading.

The following editorial is republished from the Aug. 17 , Bowling Green Daily News.
The notion that those who are home-schooled or attend private schools should have the right to participate in extracurricular activities, such as sports, in their local public schools has been hotly debated in states around the country.
A bill pre-filed for the 2015 legislative session would allow Kentucky's home-schooled students to participate in local school sporting events if it is passed.
It would give those who are home-schooled or attend private schools more options in terms of playing sports, and public schools could benefit from the talent the kids bring.
Currently, there are some activities available locally for home-schoolers, including a home-school basketball team and a community sports team, but by passing this bill, many more sporting opportunities would be available.
Being home-schooled or attending a private school shouldn't preclude a child's opportunity to play sports other kids their age play at local public schools.
Those on the opposing side of this pre-filed bill argue it would be hard to determine athletic eligibility, which includes academic and attendance requirements. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association says "there seems to be no means of verifying the students' curriculum to allow for comparison of equitable academic performance to those students in public schools."
We disagree.
Parents of students who are home-schooled are required by the state to keep attendance logs and are accountable for their children's academic performance.
To say there is no means of verifying a student's curriculum is inaccurate.
In fact, students who graduate from home-schooling or private schools have their academic performance and curriculum recorded in order to receive diplomas.
Another argument in support of allowing home-schooled or private school students to play sports at local public schools is that these students' parents are paying school taxes, part of which goes to support athletic teams. This is all the more reason to allow their kids the opportunity to play.
Not all home-schooling situations are equal in performance and outcome. That is equally true of our public schools, but the reality is that the high achievers coming out of both environments are much coveted by college recruiters.
There needs to be study of and adjustments to this proposal, but students shouldn't be prevented from playing sports just because they or their parents choose to home-school them or send them to private school.
The playing field needs to be leveled in Kentucky on this issue.

The "contemplation boat" thread
Look it's Friday afternoon, so cut me a little slack here, and play along, willya?
Every marina, boatyard and harbour has at least one. That vision of faded glory, that boat that is on the brink, a good old boat that is starting to tilt from the former (good) waaay over to the latter (old), and pretty soon will not even qualify as the qualified noun (boat). Most aren't worth a second glance, but there is always that one, unique, sad specimen that you just know has a story behind her. The one that calls to you from across the yard, or the fairway. The one you notice while you are varnishing, scrubbing , sanding, cleaning, sunbathing or drinking.
Okay, mostly drinking. Because that is when you start to think, "y'know, i don't NEED another boat, i don't WANT another boat, but THAT one.... hmmm..."
The one that makes you pause when you walk past, and think about what she COULD be.
Yeah, THAT boat. The one that doesn't necessarily make you open your wallet YET, but the one that starts the refit budget running through your head as you walk around her, calculating what she needs. sure, it's just blueskying, or navel-gazing, but, if, and maybe, and possibly, and...
Here's mine. Yeah, I know; I need to drink more.
let's see yours.
I dont recognize that boat. Do you what kind it is? I would say buy it regardless, it is Friday and all.
It is a lifeboat conversion. I don't need another boat, or necessarily want another boat, but I hate to see a viable boat die.
xort, I never get to see yours until you are halfway into the project and can't find the setscrews.
Funky, chunky boat. It's curvy yet blocky.
Am I allowed to want to "save" more boats already?
Oo, oo, I can play this game.
Ok, so neither of these are "classics" really, but...
Not in my yard, but in another, there's a Pearson 26 languishing. Yard owned, yadda yadda. I saw it on eBay last week. Guess it's still there.
(no photo credit for me, this was taken from the ad. Despite the date on the photo, it pretty much looks like that.)
When I am at the Tartan, I keep glancing over at this Tanzer 22 a few boats away. Also yard owned.
It's so cute. Well, potentially cute.
I'll be happy just to finish the refit on the one I already own!
Don't have a pic but there was a cute little (30' or so) ketch that caught my eye. So sad, sitting on the cradle, cruddy blue tarp half off, brightwork peeling etc. I'll have to ask what happened- it's not in the same spot in the yard. Lost dreams?
Would have been a good "project" for the kids if they were older.
Been There, Done That, Never Again!
I'd gladly post pictures (before and after) but for some reason I cannot make it work. Anyway...
I gave up sailing almost completely for 12 years. Yes, time does fly by. At some point I had a chance to step back; it was then that I realized I was missing something that had become important to me long ago. Sailing was not simply a sport to me. It had been a total experience. And so, I decided to get a boat of my own. But I had been away from it for so long, I foolishly got involved in an unfinished boat that was located hundreds of miles away. Even after bringing it to the Annapolis area this project turned into a rather lengthy ordeal, taking all my time. Friends said to me, just think of all that you learned. My reply was, invariably, who says I wanted to know?(!) Boat building and sailing, I learned the hard way, are two totally different things. But I kept at it.
I finally launched it in September 2007 -- more than three years later. It's interesting how all those hours working on the boat gently fade from memory. Now, I just feel a certain sense of satisfaction. And tending to the boat, as it swings on its mooring, is quite pleasurable. With the newly found free time, once in a while I attended a sailor's event/gathering. When asked if I have a boat I simply answer in a near whisper, "Yes, a project catamaran." Oftentimes the response is immediate: "Not Hot Mustard?" After a little sigh I nodd yes.
I've met some great folks that way, all because of the perpetual project. Still, speaking from experience, I suggest you ogle that lovely derelict to your heart's content. Next, smack your face hard enough to come back to reality. Then walk, uh no, RUN away -- as fast as you can! Finally, find yourself a quiet place and repeat 100 times "Only turn key for me, Only turn key for me, Only...."
There is a wooden International Dragon in a yard on the French side of St Maarten and it is just starting to look a little lumpy.

E-Cigarettes Catch On With School KidsBy
Any week now, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is expected to propose rules that could govern how and where electronic cigarettes can be sold. Hanging in the balance is a fast-growing and strategic market for this booming industry: the school yards of America.
E-cigarette use among middle and high school students doubled to 1.78 million of them in 2012, compared with the year before, according to a recently published report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of that total, about 160,000 minors had never smoked traditional cigarettes. The CDC sees this as worrisome because health advocates fear e-cigarettes can be a gateway to traditional tobacco products. About 90 percent of adult smokers in the U.S. began puffing by the age of 18, according to the CDC, which relied on self-reported data from the 2012 National Youth Tobacco Survey for its findings.
E-cigarettes heat liquid nicotine to create an inhalable water vapor without the tar of normal cigarettes. For the moment, marketers operate with few of the regulatory limits that apply to tobacco companies such as Reynolds American and Philip Morris.
Although e-cigs now account for only 1 percent of U.S. cigarette sales, the market will approach $2 billion in sales by the end of 2013 and may exceed $10 billion by 2017, Bonnie Herzog, an analyst at Wells Fargo & Co. in New York told Bloomberg News. Demand for the smokeless devices could surpass that for traditional cigarettes over the next decade, according to Herzog.
Big tobacco player Lorillard, which sells Newport and Kent brand cigarettes, now gets almost 4 percent of its revenue from its Blu e-cigarette line. The company's stock has outperformed the broader S&P 500-stock index this year.
As things stand, nothing prevents e-cigarette makers from advertising the devices, unlike restrictions faced by traditional tobacco-product purveyors. Lorillard hired comedic actress and former Playboy model Jenny McCarthy to promote its Blu product.
While there are no conclusive medical studies as to the safety of e-cigarettes, the American Lung Association has expressed concern about potential health hazards, given the wide variation of chemicals in the 250 different brands for sale in the U.S.. The health advocacy group says that "in initial lab tests conducted by the FDA in 2009, detectable levels of toxic cancer-causing chemicals were found, including an ingredient used in anti-freeze, in two leading brands of e-cigarettes and 18 various cartridges."
Aside from the upcoming FDA rules, a dozen states are also weighing whether to regulate and tax e-cigarettes—something the e-cigarette industry is lobbying against. "Our goal as an industry is to distinguish ourselves from cigarettes, and there's a very important reason that we want to be defined, at the state level, not as a tobacco product," Eric Criss, president and chief executive of the Electronic Cigarette Industry Group, told the Washington Post. "We believe the product is a good alternative, and the goal should be to move people down the risk ladder from cigarettes."
Regardless of the future of e-cigs in middle schools, the devices are proving a big hit in the workplace.

The internet, as I am sure you all would agree, is a marvelous thing. People from coast to coast and around the world have used it for everything… researching term papers, reading the news, paying bills and even writing blogs. The internet is also a marvelous tool for those looking to save or spend money. These tough economic times have led many passengers to search for discount flights on the Internet and even, as we have learned at TSA, used the Internet to learn to make homemade gadgets. It's these gadgets that have caused some …. How shall we say, second and third looks at the checkpoint. By second and third looks I'm not talking about just TSA, I'm talking our Bomb Appraisal Officers (BAO) and local bomb squads. In a matter of minutes this morning, Blogger Bob found Internet sites with "how to build" instructions for a desulfator and radio receiver in a common mint tin (a desulfator is used to put high voltage pulses into a battery), a guitar amp out of a cigarette pack, a mint tin made into a guitar and a circuit bender made from an old plastic parts kit. While none of these items are threatening in and of themselves, imagine what a mint tin with wires, batteries and a switch looks like in an x-ray machine. While each of these items gets the award for creativity, it might be a good idea to put these items in your checked baggage or maybe even leave them at home. However, if you have to bring them with you, maybe letting our folks know that you are the master innovator could prevent any unnecessary surprises from occurring. Nonetheless, expect some extra scrutiny… What do I mean by further scrutiny? Yesterday, March 24, an item very similar to those described above, was blown into a zillion pieces in Palm Springs, California, because neither our officers, our BAO or the local bomb squad could determine with 100% certainty the item didn't pose a threat after seeing it on the x-ray. So, if you are traveling with a homemade charger, amp, desulfator or anything with batteries, screws and wires sticking out of it that could be deemed out of the ordinary, please tell us. It will probably allow us and the local bomb squad to help keep your items in one piece, not a zillion. Probably… Nico - EOS Blog Team
UPDATE: Based on the comments, Nico & I felt a clarification was needed. This post purposely
never mentioned a passenger because the bag was left unattended and there was
no passenger available to interview. We're not implying that you cannot travel
with these types of items, we're just pointing out that they could be of
concern, or possibly even hold you up a little bit. Listen, we think these
things are cool too, but this is just a friendly "heads up" and not a threat.
Also, explosive detection systems would not identify these types of items in checked baggage, because they aren't explosives. Our checked baggage machines use CT technology and can actually recognize and alarm on potential explosives.

New dockyard owner starts recruiting
Italian company Palumbo, which acquired the facilities of Malta Shipyards, is employing people for its ship-repair operation in Cospicua even though the land transfer has yet to be approved by Parliament.
It is not known how many people the company will employ although the Finance Minister had said in March the indications were that it would initially engage between 200 and 250 workers.
A spokesman for 3M Shipping, which is representing Palumbo in Malta, said the Italian company was not in a position to comment at this stage pending Parliamentary approval.
Former Malta Shipyards workers who took the early retirement schemes are expected to apply for the jobs offered by the new owners.
A worker in his early 40s, who preferred to remain anonymous, said he wanted a job. "The money we took with the early retirement schemes was good but it will not last. I want a job because it gives you stability and dignity," the father of two said.
The Cospicua shipyard was sold for €90.6 million on a 30-year concession. After inflation was taken into account, the agreement translated into an equivalent value of €52.7 million if paid out today. Palumbo would be paying €18 million upfront followed by €72.6 million in rent over 30 years.
In the privatisation deal, the government did not include a condition on the number of workers Palumbo had to employ because the company wanted to start operations on a clean slate. It is obliged to give all former shipyard workers the right to be interviewed for a job but has no obligation to employ them all or at all.
Vacancy adverts by Palumbo Malta Shipyard Ltd appeared in the press over the past few days "for staff to be recruited in the ship repair field". The address quoted in the advert is that of the company's Maltese representatives headquartered in Palazzo Stagno, Qormi.
Prospective employees have to send their CV via e-mail to [email protected].

Tummy Tuck with MR, No Lipo (Hysterectomy at the same time) - Bloomington, IL
I'm 32, 5'6" and 163 lbs. I have 2 kids, one in 2005 and the other in 2007. I had gained 60 lbs with my 1st baby and also gained all sorts of stretch marks. My 1st kid was large and I had quite the episiotomy from that birth. I only gained 35 with my next kid and so I did not gain any new stretch marks. I maxed out on my weight at 218 at the end of my 1st pregnancy and since my 2nd, I've... READ MORE

Our children need an excellent education in order to compete in the knowledge economy and to ensure that they experience a high quality of life. Somerville is committed to putting students first and focusing the system on academic progress. The bloated bureaucracy is compromising the investment for the future of our children.

|Assistant Coach - Wide Receivers
|Alma Mater:
|Duke '12
|(919) 668-1382
Former Blue Devil safety Jeffrey Faris joined the Duke staff in July of 2012 and coaches the wide receivers. Faris served as a graduate assistant coach, working primarily with the offense, for the 2012 and 2013 seasons before being promoted to assistant coach in March of 2014.
The 2015 season featured the emergence of Max McCaffrey as Duke's top receiving target as the senior wideout caught 52 passes for 643 yards and five touchdowns – all team highs for the season. McCaffrey finished his career with 117 receptions for 1,341 yards and 12 touchdowns. Rookie T.J. Rahming and redshirt junior Anthony Nash complemented McCaffrey by catching 43 and 32 passes, respectively. Rahming flourished on Duke's trip to Charlottesville, Va., as the Powder Springs, Ga., native set Duke freshman single-game records for pass receptions (12) and receiving yardage (190) against the Cavaliers. Nash enjoyed his best season in Durham by averaging a team-high 14.8 yards per reception and posting a pair of 100-yard games against Pittsburgh (101) and Virginia (104) in consecutive weeks.
In 2014, Faris guided senior Jamison Crowder to a record-breaking finish to the Monroe, N.C., native's career. Crowder ended his career with 283 receptions to match the Duke and ACC career records previously set by former teammate Conner Vernon. Crowder's 3,641 receiving yards marked the second most by a Blue Devil and rank third in ACC history, behind only Vernon (3,749) and Florida State's Rashad Greene (3,830). In addition, Crowder joined Duke's Clarkston Hines (1987-89) as the only ACC players with three 1,000-yard seasons and finished as the only player in ACC history to catch 100 or more passes in a season (108 receptions in 2013).
Crowder was a fourth round choice of the Washington Redskins in the 2015 NFL Draft, becoming Duke's first wide receiver selected since Hines went in the ninth round to the Buffalo Bills in 1990.
Also in 2014, wideout Issac Blakeney turned in his best year as a Blue Devil and caught 47 passes for 559 yards and a team-high seven touchdowns. Blakeney agreed to terms with the NFL's San Francisco 49ers following the season.
In 2013, Faris worked alongside Scottie Montgomery with Duke's wide receivers as the Blue Devil offense ranked among ACC leaders in scoring (5th; 32.8 ppg), total offense (4th; 426.1 ypg), rushing offense (5th; 178.0 ypg) and passing offense (6th; 248.1 ypg). On its way to the ACC Coastal Division championship, the 2013 Duke squad set a school record for total points (459) while becoming the first team in school history to post 25-plus rushing touchdowns and 25-plus passing touchdowns in the same season.
Faris graduated from Duke in 2011 with a degree in economics. In 2009, he earned the Mike Suglia Award, an honor presented annually to the sophomore member of the Duke football program who best exemplifies the academic and athletic qualities of the late Mike Suglia.
In 2011, Faris received the Micah Harris Trinity Teammate Award which is presented each season to a Duke player who displays the traits of a true teammate — character, unselfishness, compassion and pride. In the spring of 2011, Faris was honored by the ACC with a Top 6 For Service award.
Faris, a native of Knoxville, Tenn., earned a master's degree in economics from Duke in 2012 and a master's degree in Christian studies in 2013.

Steve Scarsone Tabbed as New River Cats Manager11/26/2012 1:48 PM ET
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Seven-year Major League veteran Steve Scarsone will be the fifth manager in River Cats history, the Oakland Athletics announced today. Rick Rodriguez-who was the A's bullpen coach for the last two seasons after spending 10 seasons in Sacramento-will return as pitching coach in 2013, while Greg Sparks will return for his second season as the club's hitting coach.
Scarsone has risen steadily through the A's system, managing Single-A Kane County in 2009, Single-A Advanced Stockton in 2010, and Double-A Midland for the past two seasons. He previously managed Single-A South Bend (2001) and Single-A Advanced Lancaster (2002) in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization.
"The Oakland Athletics are pleased to promote Steve to Sacramento after exhibiting outstanding leadership and development skills at the minor league level," said Keith Lieppman, director of player development for the A's.
"He not only has shown good leadership qualities as a manager but also is a proven teacher and instructor. We believe he will carry on in the fine tradition of the outstanding young managers that have led the River Cats throughout their history."
Scarsone played collegiately at Santa Ana Junior College before being drafted in the second round (32nd overall) of the 1986 January amateur draft by Philadelphia. He made his MLB debut May 15, 1992, and would go on to enjoy a seven-year big league career with the Phillies, Orioles, Giants, Cardinals and Royals. During those seven seasons, he combined to hit .239 with 20 home runs, 86 RBIs, and 103 runs scored in 350 career games.
Scarsone also played parts of 11 seasons in the minors, including three seasons in the Pacific Coast League. He enjoyed one of his best seasons in 1998 for the Vancouver Canadians-the franchise that moved to Sacramento following the 1999 season-when he led the team in hits (110), home runs (20) and RBIs (55).
Rodriguez-the longest tenured pitching coach in River Cats history-returns to Sacramento for the first time since 2010. Rodriguez played four seasons in the major leagues, including two with Oakland and one with San Francisco. He finished his career with eight saves in 31 career appearances. In 11 minor league seasons, he tallied a 52-41 record with a 3.89 ERA spanning 946.2 innings pitched.
The Athletics also announced that Brad LaRosa will return for his sixth season as the River Cats head athletic trainer, and Jared Elliott will join the staff as the strength and conditioning coach after spending the 2012 season with the Midland RockHounds, Oakland's Double-A affiliate.

Hey Everyone,
So I have a question for Adobe After Effects. I need to remove a big mat that a character falls onto in an action sequence of one of my videos. How do I remove the mat from the scene and still make it look like he hit the ground? It is a moving camera, so I have no background plate.
If needed I can redo the shot on a tripod so I can get a background plate.
Thanks for the help,

RR - I did another 4ish tonight. This is normally my day off but I worked today, so I didn't try to squeeze in speedwork. Tomorrow is a crazy day - I'll be off in the office, but have to round on a lot of hospitalized folks and need to see my nursing home patients. Then, Justin has a baseball game, Catherine has marching band practice, and Justin has Lego robotics later. My plan is to run with Caroline in the jog stroller after dropping Justin at his warmups for the game (the last game of the season.) Then, 20 on Sat!
The macerated nipples: what about tonic bite reflex? LaLeche has a very good article about the use of craniosacral therapy for very gently adjusting C1/C2 to fix these sorts of breastfeeding problems. I'll try to find the link when I get back this afternoon.
I had this EXACT problem with DD2 ~ perfect latch, no tongue tie, but totally painful and bleeding nipples. The chiro came to my house, gently manipulated her skull and like magic, no more problems! I was a total skeptic about chiropractic manipulation, especially for babies, but it was seriously amazing. Mothercat, one more way that you remind me SO MUCH of my midwife !
Catherine, mama to Preschooler Girl 9/08, and Toddler Boy 3/11
in other news....i need the boot ladies. y'all know what i mean. get on my case.
mom to ds (11) and dd (9)
And I hear crying
A little bit grasshopper a little bit ant
VeganCupcake ~ definitely. If she's that fussy at only a few days old.... I'm telling you, it was a miracle for us. DD2 didn't have a difficult birth, but did spend her time in utero jammed up against my right hip.
Run, poppy, run!!!!!
Penelope, you're going to do great!
Last night was my free Pilates class at the studio and WOW! We did an hour of exercises on the Reformer and I felt so stretched out and strong and tall (, at 5'2") when it was done. My friend needs 100 free teaching hours to get certified, so I told her I'd be more than happy to help her out in getting there! Anyone else ever do Pilates on the Reformer? Good stuff!
Penelope... IME, if you have run 4-5 on a training run, you can do 6.2 in a race. no problem. I find I can do in race about half again what I have trained for.. so train 4, run 6 in race, etc.
Today is my run day. I'm going to pay attention to the mile markers on tehtrail to see how far I go.
In other words, we got a puppy on Tuesday :
And it is a good thing I already know that I can survive on years of no sleep, so really, a few weeks/months shouldn't be so bad, should it?
Wait a minute - my puppy stole the smilie puppy's energy!
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm anxious. Gigi, that's good to know, the ratio you're suggesting, because 4m is my standard run now and it's fun and totally doable. I forget about all the race-day adreneline...
Dr. Jen your schedule amazes me! I'm tired doing half that much stuff!
Poppy ~ Don't think - just run!
Vegan ~ I don't have any experience with babes and the chiropractor, but I do for myself and it was a God-send. It is worth a try because it can't hurt.
Plan is 1 hour of yoga today with my DVD from Netflix, then I really need to send it back.
Jen - Mama to V (b. 2-18-09) and AJ (b. 10-9-11) Wife to DH
I am having a hard time getting going. I may head out to a coffee shop for the rest of the morning, something about my house without makes me want to nap, and I need to work. : It's my off day for running but I'm going to try to fit in some yoga later!
katemom, I remember being in total awe of your 50, and I read it again and I STILL am in awe and I also (secretly) want to do an ultra. But I guess I need to get through a road mary without everything blowing out first, eh???
So would ya'll recommend cranio-sacral or chiropractic for a babe who will hardly sleep and wants to nurse about every 10 minutes? Her trip into the world was a tiny bit difficult, and maybe her head hurts?
One of my birth assistants had a baby last week and went to the chiro yesterday. Left side of the neck was out of alignment, easily fixed and the baby is a different person. Plus he poops just great now.
Balance a nickel on your finger and that's all the more pressure it takes to adjust a baby. Might try massaging some arnica oil or cream into her neck as comfort for now.
Poppy - Here's your boot. ____/ Okay, I know lame boot. Call it sophomore slump, my last smilie masterpiece was bound to be a hard act to follow! Just go on and get out there!
and plady, that's an AWESOME boot! love it
ok then, need to pick a week to start on for C25K ..prob week 2 or 3. will know hopefully today...:
mom to ds (11) and dd (9)
here is the link to the article; hth
shanti~What kind of puppy did you get? That looks EXACTLY like Baxter when he was a puppy. I : puppies...all soft and furry and cuddly and cute.
DS woke up this morning demanding milk (normal) and cookies! I have no idea where he got that from, but he was not pleased when I told him that we didn't have any cookies and even if I did, he wasn't getting them for breakfast!
DS and I are going out for a bike ride in a few minutes, since I haven't been on my bike in oh, about 3 weeks, and I have to race on Sunday. Then I'm hoping to get the motivation to try (again) to get the ceiling fan installed in the living room.
Gaye, single mama to Tyler (5/06) and Baxter the labradoodle
Wait...I signed up to DO an Ironman??? I thought I was signing up to go SEE Ironman!
Wouldn't you think if I had a fracture in the foot bones that there would be more consistent symptoms of pain, etc. ? So talked this over with the chiro today when I saw him and told him to not adjust the ankle because it seems to be getting better. Then explained the the achilles part is gone but there is a sometimes ache/pain to the outside behind the malleous and I was wondering about a sprain to the 5 th metatarsal bone. Megs going to know his answer.
Tendonitis of the peroneal tendon.
When I look back, this whole thing started about 20 months ago when I got new running shoes. Because of the pain, they haven't gotten much use, less than 200 miles for sure. Using spencos because of a really high arch, and I went to a really good running store where they know how to fit a shoe. There was some variation of tendonitis and foot/leg pain almost since I got them. I always thought it was just me and some weird foot anatomy, or just because of my weight and being out of shape.
I'm making the appointment to follow up with the family doc but I'm thinking a DPM and custom orthotics for my running shoes is the next best move.
I can put up with immobilization and bracing while this heels if I know there is an accurate diagnosis and an end point. The other dx so far have not quite fit, but seemed close. None of them could account for the unhinged feeling on the outside of my ankle. Fingers crossed.
And weight back under control at 110 as of this morning !
Way to go Doctorjen!
Go on Poppy. Get out there! (OK, use your imagination here. I was going for a kick in the behind...)
Shanti-SO stinking cute!
Penolope-You'll do great at your race. Don't worry about looking slow. Worry about looking like a finisher. Can't wait to hear the report.
I ran this morning with the stroller to and from the grocery store. Sheesh, it was so heavy on the way back and Jojo kept saying , "Run, Mommy, run" every time I'd start to slow down.
Eksmom-can you put me down for this race? I think dd2 will run it with me. Gigi-it's really close to you. Bring your girls and come run with us!
mothercat~peroneal tendonitis definitely sounds like a possibility. Towsonmama had some similar issues earlier this year, she can probably chime in. The shoes/spenco combination could definitely be factoring in. Custom orthotics are well worth the cost, in my opinion. I spent around $200 for mine, and I've had them for 5 or 6 years, so if you average it out, it's really not THAT expensive, it's just a big up-front cost.
ETA: Shanti, here's a picture of Baxter before we even picked him up from the breeder: http://thebeckmans.com/photos/baxter/picture1605.aspx

Wait...I signed up to DO an Ironman??? I thought I was signing up to go SEE Ironman!
Go on Poppy. Get out there! (OK, use your imagination here. I was going for a kick in the behind...)
ok ladies, the boot officially applied and effective.
i opted for the treadmill today, because i needed to make sure we set it up in our new house properly, etc. i did week 3 of c25k with no difficulty so i probably could have done more, but i just want to ease back in to avoid injury.
if anyone has some leftover home-selling mojo they could send me as well....we sure as h3ll need it could the economy news be any worse these days? wait, i don't want to invite it to be worse...i take that back.
meanwhile, there is a job opening at a company that's based *near* here and it's where a lot of you shop online, i think. i really really would love it but i think the daily commute is too far...
mom to ds (11) and dd (9)
My mom is a serious issue for me at this time. She is a lifelong alcoholic and frankly does ZERO to take care of her kids. I mean doesn't send anything other than requests for stuff from us. She has a long-time friend who lives near her (from high school and college) and visits frequently. I think maybe it matters that my background is Catholic and my mom's friend is Catholic and well here's the text to the email:
Is it mean for me to immediately think, (a). Geez lay on the guilt trip there. and (b). when was the last f*cking time I heard from here? Oh yeah. There is that postcard my kids have that she sent to me that says something like "Kristin get me out of here" (here = nursing home she's currently placed in). I mean seriously. She lives almost 1500 miles from me and I can't do anything more for her.
She is in a good place, although she would like to have an apartment. But trust me she cannot survive alone in an apartment. She wants to get near her girls. I don't blame her for wanting that, but she is in a placement that all her basic needs are met. and hopefully some day she will acknowledge that, but until then a note or two would help her to know that she is being thought about. That is important to all of us. We need to be acknowledged. SO please, it would help me when I visit with her to be able to get a happy yes when I ask about you, rather than a dour "NO"
On another note: I hate my schedule this fall. I mean what's not to hate: full time at one college, one class at another, dissertation exam this semester. I hardly have time to breathe. I'm really struggling with do I go for a full time college professor type job where I have to work almost as hard as I am right now, but have flexibility of time each day or do I go for a part time consulting job in my field where I don't have daily flexibility but I can (hopefully) specify my hours to match those my kids are at school.
This fall is particularly bad as my husband is working a lot as well. I suggested hiring someone to cut the grass (and therefore freeing up his time to do something else) and he balked. Frankly somehow it doesn't work for me -- I can't work full time AND manage the house (which I do even if I'm the FT person). But he can't step up.
My kids are nuts, I'm nuts and urgh. I just need a nap and a weekend with *one* day where I dont' have to work.
Not caught up at all here-I have been recovering from my surgery last week. It unfortunately didn't go well I hemmoraged again They aren't sure what is going on with me. When she went in for the D&C and hysteroscopy-she said my uterus was super soft like I just gave birth-not 13 weeks pp. She wasn't able to remove all of the remaining placenta for fear of perforation. So I have to go to a reproductive endocrinologist to see what is going on-she thinks it is something structural possibly. There is still placenta remaining and a bunch of scar tissue. I also have to go to a hematologist. So we will see. I am ready for all of this to be over. The one awesome thing-I love my dr. She is very much how I envision dr jen to be. Anyway-my outpatient procedure became an overnight stay in the hospital and she jumped through hoops to not only get dd2 to stay with me since I was nursing but also put me on L&D because she didn't want baby G to be exposed to anything
One of these days I will start running again when I am no longer anemic and recovering!!
eta: therefore, eksmom-could you remove my race from the list I am so bummed not to be running it-its such a fantastic race! Dh is probably going to still slog through-even though he hasnt been training too much for it with everything going on. We will go down to watch and cheer him on though!

I'm almost 23 years old. My skin has very little volume. My cheeks sag and give me hollow tear troughs, flat cheeks, heavy lower face with nasolabial folds, marrionette lines and sagging skin around the mouth. I look sad and very harsh in some light. I've been to several dermatologist and they don't know why my skin is like this.
It has been recommended by several Plastic surgeons to get a mid face lift. Would getting a face lift this young cause problems with getting a lift in my when I'm older? Are there any other options? Thanks!

When gaming giant Zynga goes public this week, it will cap off a year of big, brand-name tech IPOs. But 2011's bumper crop hasn't been exactly blemish-free.
Although many of the newly public tech companies enjoyed healthy pops when they debuted, only a few were still trading well above their offer price as of Friday. LinkedIn, Zillow, and Groupon were up by double-digit percentages, but Pandora, Zipcar, and Demand Media were all way under their opening day prices.
But David Menlow, president of IPOfinancial.com, said, "I think the mood is upbeat." No small feat, he added, given the market conditions this summer.
Still, industry watchers say that the bloom is off the tech-sector rose—at least for now.
"This summer . . . the valuations people were talking about were preposterous," said Anupam Palit, an analyst with GreenCrest Capital. The choppy markets and recent tech IPO trends have made investors more cautious, he says, and he expects that to continue into 2012.
But Facebook's IPO could be a different story. "[That's] the seminal moment in the history of social media," he said with a laugh. "We tend not to overhype the sector. . . . But they're a special company."

Today was great, it was one of my first Saturdays off in a long time. Adrian and I went to the St. Andrews Market near where we live. It's so nice there, the people are so lovely. It's a bit like stepping back in time and feeling the real community vibe! We had a great time buying fresh bread and muffins then enjoying a Chai tea in the CT tent. So cosy!

Children and Parents; SHOCKING INCIDENT IN A NURSERY
By CATHERINE MACKENZIE ();
February 12, 1939,
, Section Society News, Women's News, Page 56, Column , words
Every parent has heard an exasperated small child scold: "Now look what you made me do!" Maybe the child has tried to draw something ambitious; the drawing has gone every-which-way; and he is incensed for the moment--ostensibly with his parent, actually with himself. Should we argue with him? Should we laugh at him?

Approximately two dozen 8th grade students attended a Friday brownbagger given by NPARL Ecologist Greg Sword Nov. 18 entitled "Mormon crickets and the people who chase them: A retrospective." The students, from teacher Mark Halvorsen's advanced science class at Sidney Middle School (Sidney, MT), were invited to participate because of their recent studies on Global Positioning System technology. Dr. Sword's presentation provided them a real-world peek into the application of GPS technology to a specific research project. Sword, a scientist with the lab's Pest Management Research Unit, discussed work he and his collaborators have done on Mormon cricket band formation and migration. The group's research was featured in a Brief Communications article in the Feb. 17th edition of "Nature" and showed that flightless Mormon crickets form large mobile groups, called migratory bands, as a means of protecting themselves from their predators. Similar processes have already been shown in herding animals, for example, but had not been previously demonstrated in migratory band-forming insects. The study involved using small radio transmitters to track individual insects within and outside large Mormon crickets bands which have been plaguing the western US the past three summers. The researchers found that 50-60% of the insects that left a band were killed by predators within two days of departure, while all of the insects remaining in the band survived. Working with Sword on the project were Dr. Pat Lorch of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and Dr. Darryl Gwynne of the University of Toronto at Mississauga.

ARS Scientists meet with Montana Tribal College Reps and State Legislators
NPARL Research Leaders Dr. Robert Evans (Agricultural Systems Research Unit) and Dr. Tom Shanower (Pest Management Research Unit) met Nov. 15 with a dozen Montana State Legislators and Tribal College representatives to discuss steps to implement Montana House Joint Resolution 11 passed during the state's last legislative session. The resolution urges "cooperation between and among state and federal agricultural research stations and tribal agricultural research programs to facilitate ongoing research, sharing of research scientists, and educational efforts in addressing critical issues concerning deleterious insects, pesticide use, livestock disease, noxious weeds and irrigated and dryland cropping systems." Participating tribal governments include those with the Fort Belknap, Fort Peck and Rocky Boy Reservations in Montana. While further planning sessions are needed to bring all parties together, representatives from the Sidney, MT ARS lab did agree to provide the three participating tribal college representatives with additional information on student employment opportunities at the Sidney ARS lab (and with ARS in general) and to explore new opportunities to train tribal faculty as well through special fellowships.

Valedictory Speakers
Lewis, Marcus
Thank you Vice President Cyboron for that gracious introduction.
Aloha and good evening President Wright, members of the Board of Trustees, distinguished faculty, fellow graduates, families, friends, and to those all around the world watching via the Internet.
I am greatly honored to represent Military Campus Programs on this wonderful occasion. Hawaii Pacific University is something special to me because of the tireless efforts of the staff in the Military Campus Program. From helping students register for classes from halfway around the world, to conducting individual degree counseling, the men and women in all aspects of the MCP program deserve a great deal of gratitude for their work. The online program was vital to my success, especially while completing my Associate Degree on a six month deployment. Without this beneficial program, many military members would have had to put their degrees on hold until after finishing their own deployments.
I graduated high school with a 2.1 grade point average, and continued to "meet the status quo" in all other aspects of my life. After two years of gaining more debt than income, I enlisted in the United States Navy in 2001 and shipped off for boot camp. This was one of the best decisions in my life. In the Navy, I learned that with hard work and dedication, you can succeed. I also gained a great professional foundation for my career path ahead. I am proud of the many graduates here today that were able to balance work, family, and education in the pursuit of a better life.
I implore all my fellow graduates today to fight the urge to become idle. If you are continuing on to further education, put your best foot forward and strive to achieve your goals. If you are headed into the job market, utilize the great tools given to us by our professors. Continue to better yourselves personally and professionally. In the words of my late grandfather, "don't let a day in life pass you by without learning something new."
I would like to thank all of the teachers and staff here at HPU that were crucial to my success. I would like to thank my parents for their patience and their teachings over the years, as I know it was never easy with a kid like me. I especially want to thank my mother for being able to come tonight from the blistering cold of Minnesota to celebrate this day with all of us. I want to thank all of my friends and family for the support and prayers given to help me achieve my goals. Special thanks go to my daughter Nadia Makamae; although she is only one year old, she has been the inspiration for me to push through the tough times in hopes of a better life for us as a family. Most of all, I would like to thank my fiancée Rebecca. Becky, without your love and support, I would not be standing here today. Everyday I wake up and thank the Lord that you came into my life.
While this night is a cause for great celebration, I would like to draw some reflection to our true heroes. Right now, there are thousands of soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen standing watches and patrols all around this world, protecting freedom and liberty. Please take the time out of your day thank them and their families for all that they sacrifice to protect us. May we never forget what they are fighting for.
Thank you.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Project Projectionism Issue 1 is almost done! I'm waiting on a rant about unicorns, then it's off to the presses!
I love the weight of the paper with all those little paper scraps taped on, all smelling like ink. Yum.
This weekend I'll be in Brooklyn, and looking for good places to drop. I'm also up for some trading.
So excited.

Making a film in 48 hours - organized chaos, but fun on both sides of the camera
By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News | June 08. 2013 9:51PM
Jason Zonay, the camera operator for one of the teams competing in the New Hampshire 48 Hour film festival (SHAWNE K. WICKHAM PHOTO / SUNDAY NEWS)
Welcome to the New Hampshire 48 Hour Film Project, a mad-dash romp through the magic of moviemaking. This is the fifth year New Hampshire has held the competition, and 26 teams from across the state signed up.
Each year, the films have to incorporate a required prop (this year it's a cantaloupe), a character (an IT specialist) and a line of dialogue ("When did this happen?").
Saturday afternoon, a half-dozen friends met in Ben Peirce's basement on Manchester's East Side. They've worked together before, and by midday, they have a working script and the first set is taking shape.
Peirce and co-writer P.J. Huot were up all night penning the script, about an indebted gambler named Charlie Price, who has to pick up some cash for the unsavory types to whom he owes money. When he finds himself in an apparent drug den with a dead hooker, Charlie unwittingly ends up calling a bored IT specialist for help instead of the mob's fixer.
Huot works as the technical director and camera operator for the Manchester Monarchs; he also does some camera work for the Red Sox. He loves the challenge of the 48 Hour Film Project.
"Despite how hard it is and the lack of sleep, it's really, really fun, and it's very rewarding," he said, "especially when everything comes together and you get a really good product out of it and a really good film."
There's something about the urgency of having just 48 hours that sparks creativity, Zonay said. "The challenge of it is why we all come and do it," he said. "It's surprisingly doable even though it's undoable."
Peirce teaches video production at Southern New Hampshire University, where they planned to shoot a scene Saturday night. His lead actor, Dan Larson, is a self-employed illustrator who got into acting a couple of years ago through the 48 Hour Film Project.
"Good or bad, succeed or fail, there's a real thrill to sitting in the movie theater," he said. "To actually see something you made up on the big screen is great."
Dominique Delprete, a communications major at Saint Anselm College, is the production coordinator on the film. She met Huot while doing an internship with the Manchester Monarchs, and signed on to help out with the film project.
While Syrene is working with Huot and Zonay to block out the shots he wants, Peirce heads upstairs to run through the script with his actors. His two dogs, Fenway and Vada, settle in beside him on the couch.
"So where does this take place?" she asks Peirce.
"Rhode Island?" she suggests.
"It does feel like Rhode Island, doesn't it," he agrees.
They settle on a name for their film, "Clear the Cache," a play on words that captures the film's conceit.
There's still 26 hours left.
The New Hampshire Union Leader is a media sponsor of the 48 Hour Film Project. Films will be screened Thursday at Cinemagic in two groups, at 6:30 and 9 p.m. For more, visit www.48hourfilm.com/en/newhampshire.

Phosphorylation sites in members of the protein kinase A (PKA), PKG, and PKC kinase subfamily are conserved. Thus, the PKB kinase PDK1 may be responsible for the phosphorylation of PKC isotypes. PDK1 phosphorylated the activation loop sites of PKCζ and PKCδ in vitro and in a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase)–dependent manner in vivo in human embryonic kidney (293) cells. All members of the PKC family tested formed complexes with PDK1. PDK1-dependent phosphorylation of PKCδ in vitro was stimulated by combined PKC and PDK1 activators. The activation loop phosphorylation of PKCδ in response to serum stimulation of cells was PI 3-kinase–dependent and was enhanced by PDK1 coexpression.

Five Aggie turnovers and several missed scoring chances enabled LSU to come back for a 24-19 win over Texas A&M.
No. 18 Texas A&M dominated No. 6 LSU for the first twenty-five minutes of the game, opening up a 12-0 lead, before five costly Aggie turnovers and a number of missed scoring opportunities enabled LSU to come back for a 24-19 win.
For LSU, quarterback Zach Mettenberger was ineffective but committed no turnovers while Jeremy Hill rushed for 127 yards and 1 TD.
Texas A&M totally dominated play the first twenty-five minutes of the game, opening up a 12-0 lead and outgaining LSU 229 yards to 48 yards.
Texas A&M scored on their first possession, driving 75 yards in 12 plays, with Christine Michael running in from the 2-yard line for an Aggie touchdown. Taylor Bertolet's extra point attempt hit the upright, leaving Texas A&M with a 6-0 lead at the 10:46 mark in the first quarter.
After a 3-and-out by LSU, Texas A&M drove to the Tiger 14-yard line before settling for a 32-yard Taylor Bertolet field goal to take a 9-0 lead with 5:41 left in the first quarter.
Midway through the second quarter Texas A&M drove to the LSU 29-yard line before Taylor Bertolet kicked a 50-yard field goal that would have been good from 60 that extended the Aggie lead to 12-0.
Two costly turnovers late in the second quarter changed the course of the game.
The first Aggie turnover was an interception of a Johnny Manziel pass by Jalen Collins at the LSU 39-yard line that he returned 3 yards to the LSU 42-yard line. It took LSU seven plays to drive 58 yards, with Michael Ford scoring on a 20-yard run. Drew Alleman's extra point cut the Aggie lead to 12-7 with 1:49 left in the first half.
On the next Aggie possession, Ben Malena rushed for an apparent first down but fumbled, and LSU's Lamin Barrow recovered at the Texas A&M 41-yard line.
Five plays later Zach Mettenberger threw a great pass to an outstretched Kadron Boone for a 29-yard touchdown. Alleman's extra point gave LSU a 14-7 halftime lead.
At the half, Texas A&M led in total yards, 256 to 147, and in first downs, 15 to 9, but had the two turnovers.
In the first half, Johnny Manziel completed 16 of 31 passes for 169 yards. Mike Evans and Ryan Swope each had 4 catches and Ben Malena had rushed for 56 yards on 8 carries.
The third quarter was scoreless as the Aggies continued to dominate statistically. By the end of the third quarter A&M had extended their leads in first downs , 19 to 11, and total yards, 324 to 189.
An Aggie defensive stand and short punt to start the fourth quarter gave Texas A&M the ball at the LSU 48-yard line. The Aggies picked up one first down before Taylor Bertolet attempted a 52-yard field goal that would have given the Aggies a lead, but the field goal was wide right.
The missed A&M field goal gave LSU the ball good field position at their 34-yard line. LSU went to their ground game to drive down the field and use up clock. LSU drove to the Aggie 11-yard line before Drew Alleman licked a 28-yard field to extend the LSU lead to five, 17-12, with 8:35 left in the game.
Texas A&M's Trey Williams returned the ensuing LSU kickoff 76 yards to the LSU 16-yard line. A touchdown would have given the Aggies the lead. But the LSU defense held and Taylor Bertolet missed a 33-yard field goal.
Texas A&M forced an LSU punt to get the ball at their 20-yard line with 4:55 left in the game, still only down by five. A couple of LSU penalties gave the Aggies a 1st-and-10 at their 49-yard line. But Johnny Manziel suffered his third interception of the game, this one by Tharold Simon who returned it to the Texas A&M 47-yard line.
On LSU's first play from scrimmage, Jeremy Hill ran the ball up the middle for a 47-yard Tiger touchdown. Alleman's extra point gave LSU a 24-12 lead with 3:12 left in the game.
Johnny Manziel led the Aggies on a 9-play, 80-yard drive, with Ben Malena scoring a touchdown on a 5-yard run. Bertolet's extra point cut the LSU lead to 24-19 with 1:17 left in the game.
Texas A&M attempted an on-side kick but LSU recovered at the Aggie 49-yard line.
The Aggie defense forced another LSU punt but not before the Tigers had run the clock down to 10 seconds.
The game ended on a crazy pass and multiple-lateral play that LSU eventually stopped to preserve a 24-19 win.
For the game, Texas A&M outgained LSU, 410 to 316 total yards, and led in first downs, 26-16.
For Texas A&M, Johnny Manziel completed 29 of 56 passes for 276 yards with 3 INTs but was held to 27 yards rushing on 17 carries. Ben Malena rushed for 82 yards and 1 TD on 12 carries with 1 fumble. Ryan Swope came back from a cocussion to catch 10 passes for 81 yards and Mike Evans caught 6 passes for 76 yards.
For LSU, Zach Mettenberger completed just 11 of 29 passes for 97 yards and 1 TD. Jeremy Hill rushed for 127 yards and 1 TD on 18 carries.
The Texas A&M defense was outstanding, holding LSU to 316 total yards and only 97 yards passing. Damontre Moore had another All-American level game for the Aggies, with 10 tackles, 2 TFLs, 1 sack and 1 hurry. Deshazor Everett and Steven Jenkins each had 8 tackles, while Sean Porter and Howard Matthews recorded 7 tackles.
LSU (7-1, 3-1 SEC) has an off week beforer hosting No 1 LSU.
Having outplayed LSU for much of the game, Texas A&M will be very disappointed with the outcome, knowing this was a game they could have and should have won. In addition to the five turnovers, the Aggies left at least seven points off the board with two missed field goals and a missed extra point.
Texas A&M (5-2, 2-2 SEC) now goes on the road for 3 weeks, facing Auburn, Mississippi St, and Alabama.

Slimline HID Xenon **Can-Bus** Ballast 35W **24 Month Warranty**
Night and Poor Weather Driving: It's been shown that visual clarity at night is only 5% of what it is during the day. Perception field, color details, and contrasting ability goes way down at night and as a result, the risk of accident goes way up. The situation isn't much better for driving in bad weather especially in fog or storm conditions. Drivers need good visibility to make the correct driving decisions! Lives depend on it. Introduced in the 7-series BMW during the early 90's, High Intensity Discharge (HID) Xenon headlights have become the choice of serious drivers because they produce three times more light and brightness than halogen bulbs making them far superior for driving in all conditions. Yet because their glow resembles natural daylight, they don't cause temporary blindness to oncoming drivers.
Please note that the Ballasts here are the new Can Bus type that is now compatible with most newer vehicles unlike cheaper types on the market that require a extra fault canceler or Resistor

Axes in Plot3D and ListPlot3D
Plot3D[Sin[x + y^2],{x,-3,3},{y,-3,3},AxesLabel->{"x","y","z"}]

z = Table[Sin[x + y^2],{x,-3,3,1/4},{y,-3,3,1/4}];
and then using ListPlot3D:
ListPlot3D[z,AxesLabel->{"x","y","z"},MeshRange->{{-3,3},{-3,3}}] .
That gives a different view of the same surface, with the wrong labels
on the axes. To duplicate the Plot3D result I must transpose the array:
That seems unreasonable. What have I missed?
Is it mentioned somewhere in the documentation?

Sammy Hagar - Lucky (Ten) 13
Sammy Hagar has one of the most instantly recognizable voices in rock. His work these past three decades as lead vocalist for the seminal mid-70s rock act Montrose, then for 10 years as a solo artist, followed by another 11 fronting Van Halen during that groups most successful period, and since 1996 as a solo act again has left Hagar's rowdy rasp indelibly imprinted on our brains.
Yet Hagar the guitarist is often overlooked. While he is certainly no Edward Van Halen on the fretboard, Hagar is no slouch on the six-string either. He proves it on stage at every show whether on tour or at his famed Cabo Wabo nightclub in Baja, Mexico and he amply demonstrates it on Ten 13, his third post-VH release, which hit stores Oct. 24th.
Recorded in his home studio with a more complete group effort from his Waboritas keyboardist Jesse Harms, guitarist Vic Johnson, bassist Mona, and drummer David Lauser than on either Marching to Mars or Red Voodoo, Ten 13 shows a much more consistent and confident Hagar than we've seen since Van Halen's 1991 nugget For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.
Hagar picked up his first guitar, like many of us, in his mid-teens, copped licks off the radio, and, according to family members, almost immediately showed a knack for the instrument. His initial influences leaned toward Elvis and the surf guitar hits of the mid-60s, The Ventures and Dick Dale in particular.
After briefly considering boxing as a career possibility, Hagar wisely chose to pursue music. He moved from his family home in the suburbs of Los Angeles north to the Bay Area in time to experience the height of the hippie, flower-power era. The late-60s may have been a time of questionable fashion sense, but love was free (other equally intoxicating substances cost only slightly more), and popular music was going through a phase that can seriously be argued was its most creative period ever.
After a few years perfecting his craft in the clubs around San Francisco Hagar hooked up with former Edgar Winter lead guitarist Ronnie Montrose, recorded the influential album Montrose, and took off on a ride that still hasn't ended. In this exclusive Guitar.com interview and don't miss the video Hagar discusses his career, his music, and his guitar playing.
Guitar.com: Ten 13 is rocking. What's going on here?
Sammy Hagar: Well, I've really never been satisfied with the way my records sound, but I really didn't know what to do about it my whole career. Not that they all sounded bad, but in my ears, whenever I wrote songs, I would always talk to the producer like, I wish there was more bass, I wish the guitars could be louder, how come my voice doesn't sound this way or that way?
So finally these last two records I just started producing myself, with the Agave Brothers my keyboard player Jesse Harms and myself and going for what I hear in my head when Im writing the songs. And so were just doing it all ourselves. Finally we hit on it. This album is rockin because this is the kind of record I want to make. I tried to do this with Red Voodoo as well but Red Voodoo was the first time we had done it and we were in a learning process, quite honestly. It was good, but this one is the way I want it to sound. I want it to be meaner and heavier than anything you're going to put on your CD player before this. When you put this on, afterwards, you're gonna have to turn it down or else let it go and you'll blow your speakers up. That's the idea of it.
Guitar.com: Tell us a little bit about your band.
Hagar: The Waboritas on this Ten 13 CD have really come to being. We have become a band. If there was a member change in this band now after this CD, it would change the chemistry of the band. We would be different to where, as a solo artist for me before and even up until this record, I could've changed member always and it would not have changed anything. We became a band and I let them express themselves on this CD.
When you hear the CD youll know what I'm talking about. This doesn't sound like a solo artist, this sounds like a band. It was intentional, it's what I want. After Van Halen, the only reason why I went back to being a solo artist is, number one, I was frustrated from being in a band. It wasn't getting along.
That's it for me, just like in Montrose no more bands. Truthfully, if I would have had this band on ice and been able to make my first record with this band and sign a record deal, I probably would have just called ourselves a band name, if I had a good one like the Waboritas or something. I'm not stuck on an ego trip being Sammy Hagar. I'm OK with it, but I like bands. I like having the same band members.
This band Mona on bass, Vic Johnson on guitar, David on drums, and Jesse Harms on keyboard are six different characters. We are such a dysfunctional looking band you would think, "No way does this band love each other." We are so tight and so close it's ridiculous. This band is the coolest. They really came to the party on this record.
Guitar.com: Having come from a career that's been successful three or four different incarnations over, starting with Montrose, what is your view of the whole business the hit song and all that?
Hagar: The easiest way to put it is, if you're Sammy Hagar, in order to have a very hugely successful record 10-12 million records I would probably have to do what Carlos Santana did. I'd have to hook up with all the latest and greatest people. And I'm not interested in doing that. I think he did a brilliant thing don't get me wrong. If I was just a guitar player, I probably would [do the same].
But as a singer I just can't see having other singers sing for me on my record. Or you have to do something crazy or whacked out, like start rapping or something, cause it's very in. Im not down on it: It's whats happening. Or I'd have to just do some really gimmicky thing. I'm not interested in any of that.
I'm into what I call real rock. I play real rock. It started with bands like Montrose, a real rock band; Zeppelin, a real rock band; Van Halen, a real rock band. That's where I consider myself coming from. I'm a real rock artist and I like to stay true to my roots, and I like to expand a little bit sound-wise and experiment, but it has to be something that I really dig. I wouldn't do it just to try and get a hit because my records are successful enough.
That's all I really care about. If I did something stupid, I could lose my fan base and then I couldn't do this anymore. It's not that I'm afraid to take a chance, it's just that I don't care. I don't care if I sell five million records. I've sold 62 million records in my career. That's more than I thought I could ever sell. I'm successful. I make records cause I make them for my fans and I make them for me and my band. I think it's the best way to do it. It's not like I don't care, I care very much about my records, I care a lot. That's why I make the records I do.
Guitar.com: Do you play most of the guitar on Ten 13? I know you have Roy Rogers on here. Is Vic Johnson on here?
Hagar: Roy Rogers and Ivory Johnson are the only two guests on this CD. They both played on the song called "The Real Deal". Otherwise, Vic and I share the guitar chores. I have a new system on this record; it was like being in Van Halen. A lot of these songs sound like they could have been on Van Halen records. It wasn't intentional, but it was something that I did when I was in Van Halen.
Normally I would write a song on guitar, I'd finish the song, I'd teach it to the band and I would play on the basic track with the drummer and the bass player Mona and Dave and we'd do the track and I wouldn't sing until later. But a lot of the songs on here, I taught them to Vic, and he played the guitar while I worked out my vocal parts and got my melodies together, just like in Van Halen. I didn't play guitar on basic tracks in Van Halen, ever. I just worked out my vocal parts so while the band was putting it down, I was singing.
It gave Ten 13 a whole different thing cause Vic was playing the guitar and I could just sing. It caused me to sing different melodies and go for it a lot more than if I was playing the guitar and trying to sing, so I let Vic play a lot of the basic tracks and then I came back and did some of them myself. He played probably half the solos. I don't put on there who played what, because I think it's so stupid. I put on the CD, "All instruments played by the Waboritas, except for Roy Rogers and Ivory Johnson on 'The Real Deal'."
Guitar.com: You used Roy Rogers on Red Voodoo or was it Marching To Mars?
Hagar: Both. He played on Red Voodoo he played the slide part on "Don't Fight It," the Wilson Pickett tune, and the slide guitar on "Little White Lies" from Marching To Mars as well. He's such a brilliant player that I always want to have him play on a song. I want to give him exposure first of all, and second of all, I just love hearing him play. He brings something out of me and out of the band that is very bluesy and R&B that we normally wouldn't quite venture into. When Roy comes over for the day we get all blues-ed out, cause hes the king. That guy is one of the best Delta slide guys.
Guitar.com: I've seen you tear it up on a lap steel guitar
Hagar: I tear it up, I don't play it very well. [laughs] I make some good noises. It's a fun thing. You get it all cranked up and you got that bar and the steel guitar, the Hawaiian steel, you can get up so high on the neck that it's like the dogs start coming. It's pretty cool, you can make some crazy sounds and you can twist it and turn it. I play it with an open tuning, tuned to an E. You can go slightly flat and bend it ever so slightly sharp and really get some good emotion out of it. Thats all I'm good for. I don't have a bunch of chops. I don't have a technique where I can play a real song on there. If I'm playing with the rest of the band, it doesn't work because I'm usually so far out of tune, cause I don't hit it pure. But Roy is right on key. He's got it down like a fretless bass player. He knows where the notes are.
