Charles Joly headed to the Aviary
Wed Jun 27 2012

Nick Kokonas just put the news on Facebook:
The Aviary is pleased that Charles Joly will be joining us to direct our beverage program beginning at the end of July.
Charles will no doubt proudly call himself a bartender while we made the distinction to utilize 'chefs' in the Aviary 'kitchen'. Therein lies the allure of working together. Charles is one of the most talented, knowledgeable, and accomplished bartenders in the country. Combining his experience with the Aviary's staff, resources, and culinary focus will allow both Charles and the Aviary to stretch in new, creative directions.
We can't wait to see where this will lead...but we're quite sure it will be fun and delicious.
Joly is a surprising pick for Grant Achatz's bar, if only because he is so closely tied to the Drawing Room, the bar he has been at the helm of since it opened about six years ago. Reached on the phone, Joly admitted that he is indeed tied to that space—but that's exactly why this opportunity felt right.
"I've been with Three Headed [the company that owns the Drawing Room] over a decade, and we've been working on the Drawing Room for six-plus years...so the timing was really serendipitous. I was looking for my next step, and they were looking to fill the role, and I think it's a great fit. Totally new challenge for me, a whole other set of opportunities and the right time."
In fact, it just so happened that Joly had been sharpening his modern-mixology skills. He recently completed a two-week stage (apprenticeship) at London's 69 Colebrooke Row, a bar that practices the same kind of cocktail-experimentation as the Aviary. There, Joly was exposed to much of the same equipment and techniques the Aviary uses, some of which were new to him. (Joly's style at the Drawing Room has leaned history-inspired and classic in technique, though some of this was due to the fact that the Drawing Room didn't have the tools to produce cocktails in the more modern style). "Techniques I'm not worried about," Joly says. "I'm not worried about being able to learn. The creativity will be there."
"Obviously my style is going to certainly influence [the Aviary's menu]," he continues. But "it's important to stay true to the vision of what the Aviary is. I'm excited to take on the challenge."
Joly's last day at the Drawing Room will be Saturday, July 14th. He'll start at the Aviary shortly thereafter (he'll head to Tales of the Cocktail in-between the gigs). Cristiana DeLucca, one of Joly's deputies, will take over the Drawing Room's program. "I feel confident in my staff there," Joly says. Which brings up another reason why Joly may be a perfect choice for the Aviary. Besides his obvious cocktail talents, he's a seasoned pro with years of experience running a staff. And that, if you believe the comments on this Eater post, is something the Aviary is badly in need of.

The state of New Jersey passed the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights in 2011 to improve harassment, intimidation and bullying (HIB) laws that were adopted in 2002 (and subsequently amended in 2007 & 2008). These new regulations establish clearer standards for the definition of harassment, intimidation and bullying while clarifying and strengthening standards on preventing, reporting, investigating and responding to incidents of HIB. Districts have been charged with the task of using existing resources to increase school safety.
Research clearly indicates that bullying is a learned behavior and detrimental to the academic, physical, social and emotional development of all involved—bullies, targets and the bystanders who witness it. A wave of recent bullying incidents with tragic outcomes has shed a renewed light on this issue. The advent of technology allows for impulsive, anonymous and rapid communication that has expanded the opportunities for bullying to a degree that necessitates more innovative and immediate responses than ever before (DuPage County Anti-Bullying Task Force Model Bullying Policy, 2011).
The Berkeley Heights Public Schools renews its efforts to prevent, report, investigate and respond to harassment, intimidation and bullying that are aligned to state laws and district policies. The district's Anti-Bullying Coordinator will coordinate district-wide efforts, work closely with school Anti-Bullying Specialists, provide staff training and send data to the NJDOE in collaboration with the district administration. Each school has been assigned an Anti-Bullying Specialist who will lead investigations into reports of harassment, intimidation and bullying, in coordination with the building principal. The specialist will also chair the School Safety Team, whose purpose is to develop, foster and maintain a positive school climate. All of the schools in the district celebrated New Jersey's firstWeek of Respect, which will take place the first full week of October each year.
Throughout the year, as students may be involved in possible incidents of harassment, intimidation and bullying, our Anti-Bullying Specialists will conduct investigations: talking to students, observing classrooms and working with school staff to determine the nature of such incidents. If your child has been involved in an investigation, you will likely receive an initial phone call and a follow-up letter notifying you of the results of the investigation once it has been completed. Specific timelines exist to guide staff and administration in these endeavors.We look forward to working together with students, parents and community members to make our schools safe, productive learning environments for all.

Nuwa was a member of the Chinese super-powered team 3 Peace which had allied with the MLF under Reignfire's leadership. Nuwa was portrayed as a more reasonable member of 3 Peace and questioned their alliance with the MLF. Ultimately, Reignfire betrayed Nuwa to the Chinese government.[19] When the events of M-Day occurred, where the Scarlet Witch removed the mutant gene from over 90% of the world's mutant population, Nuwa was one of the few to retain her powers. Nuwa can cause biomolecular feedbacks within human anatomy, releasing a tranquilizing wave that sedates her victims. More a state of drowsiness than a real sedation, the effects of her powers can actually be warded off by consuming sufficient quantities of stimulants, such as caffeine.

Ready for your close-up with Laurie Gail
Chris Schoenbohm, a professional photographer, helped found Viewfinder to solve some of the problems he encountered in organizing and sharing his photographs. Viewfinder is a new app that helps you organize the mess otherwise known as your iPhone camera roll, and share pictures with select groups of people vs. with your 500+ friends on Facebook. Most recently, Chris spent eight years working for Patrick McMullan Company and Billy Farrell Agency, capturing prestigious events in New York City and around the world. While at Patrick McMullan Company, Chris led a project to analyze how large libraries of digital images are tagged, stored, shared and edited.
Chris shares his tips for taking the most flattering pics:
1. The desirable pose. Ever wonder why female celebrities always stand with a hand on their hip? They know how to look stunning in a photograph. This common pose is called the 'three-quarter angle stance,' and it never fails to make a woman look slim, sexy and beautiful. To achieve the three-quarter angle stance, have your subject extend one leg out in front, pivoting and planting the corresponding hand on the hip. The result is a long, attractive, diagonal line that draws the viewer's eyes across the subject and shouts confidence.
2. How do I make my subject look taller? This is a popular question without an easy answer. However, there are a handful of tricks to help you achieve height:
Never shoot at low angles. Most people think shooting from a lower angle pointing up will give the perception of height. However, the result is usually a distorted image. In some instances, the distortion will actually add weight to your subject.
- Keep your subject away from anything tall. Never place a shorter person next to a taller subject, whether it is a person or an item. The difference in height is the first thing a person's eye will be drawn to in your photo. You'd be surprised how tall a subject will appear in a photo without anything else to compare them to.
- Think about clothing. Clothes with vertical stripes or a uniform colored outfit will always make your subject look taller. High heels are a must.
- The right poses. Crossed legs at the ankles, arms and shoulders drawn inwards always slim a subject down and draw more attention to the vertical emphasis.
3. Photograph at eye level or above for portraits. This will help avoid the dreaded double-chin effect and everyone loves a nice, sexy jawline.
4. Soft light is flattering light. It's easy and pleasant on the eyes and compliments soft facial features nicely. Examples of soft light are places indoors next to a window or outdoor in the shade, protected from direct sunlight.
5. Figure out your subject's best profile. We all have a better side. Knowing which one is which on your subject's face can change EVERYTHING. Take a few test shots and look at the results. That's the beauty of a digital camera or smartphone.
6. Have fun. You can be an expert at posing your subject, but if your subject isn't having fun, it's impossible to get a great shot. Tell a joke, ask your subject to do something silly or make a sexy face. It's important to get them to loosen up! A great picture of your subject laughing is just as good as the pic that makes her look skinny.

Almost immediately, Chayanne embarked on a solo career, debuting with Chayanne Es Mi Nombre (1984) for RCA Records. Sangre Latina (1986) followed, but it wasn't until Chayanne moved to Sony for a successive pair of eponymous albums in 1988 and 1989 that his solo career began to bear fruit. His 1989 album in particular was a hit, earning him a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Performance; major hits included "Fiesta en America," "Violeta," "Te Deseo," and "Para Tenerte Otra Vez," which were re-recorded in Portuguese, as was the remainder of the album itself, for a successful Brazilian crossover. Also in 1989, Chayanne notably signed a contract with Pepsi to record the first Spanish-language commercial aired in the United States on a major TV network without subtitles or dubbing, debuted during the Grammy Awards that year.
Henceforth Chayanne would enjoy regular success, releasing hit albums roughly every two years: Tiempo de Vals (1990), Provocame (1992), Influencias (1994), Volver a Nacer (1996), Atado a Tu Amor (1998), Simplemente (2000), Sincero (2003), Cautivo (2005), Mi Tiempo (2007), and No Hay Imposibles (2010). Each sold better than its predecessor, for the most part. Greatest-hits compilations such as Grandes Exitos (2002) and Desde Siempre (2005), and live albums like Vivo (2008) and A Solas con Chayanne (2012), would also be issued from time to time. Chayanne's hits are too numerous to list, though it is worth pointing out his particularly industrious association with songwriter Estéfano. In addition to singing, Chayanne is a gifted dancer and actor, with a growing number of telenovela and film roles to his credit, including as a vampire in the TV mini-series Gabriel: Amor Inmortal, and as the male lead in the Spanish dub of Disney's animated Rapunzel tale Tangled. ~ Jason Birchmeier

Dake said all of the money raised in the Mystery Theater Dinner goes to help provide scholarships to the Toccoa-Stephens County YMCA.
"The scholarship program reaches adults and kids for all of our programs," said Dake. "We give out almost $25,000 in scholarships every year."

Designed specifically for payments applications, payShield 9000 from Thales e-Security is a proven hardware security module (HSM) that performs tasks such as PIN protection and validation, transaction processing, payment card issuance, and key management. payShield 9000 is the most widely deployed payment HSM in the world, used in an estimated 80% of all payment card transactions. The payShield 9000 design benefits from over 25 years of Thales experience with payment system security, giving organizations confidence in a state-of-the-art solution that delivers an ideal combination of security and operational ease. The payShield 9000 device is deployed as an external peripheral for mainframes and servers running card issuing and payment processing software applications for the electronic payments industry—delivering high assurance protection for Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and Point of Sale (POS) credit and debit card transactions. The cryptographic functionality and management features of payShield 9000 meet or exceed the card application and security audit requirements of the major international card schemes, including American Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, UnionPay, and Visa. payShield 9000 is certified to FIPS 140-2 level 3 and is also available in configurations certified to the PCI HSM v1.0 specification as published by the PCI Security Standards Council.
Base Software Packages
Each payShield 9000 is configured with one of a selection of base software packages that closely reflect the intended usage of the product. The range of packages currently supported includes functionality relevant to transaction processing, magnetic stripe card issuing, EMV card issuing, point-to-point encryption (P2PE), mobile point-of-sale (mPOS), and mobile payments.
Optional Software Licenses
In additional to the base software package, additional functions can be added through a series of optional licenses which can be purchased independently and installed at any time throughout the product lifecycle. The functionality supported by the various optional licenses includes secure host communications, user authentication, data protection, enhanced key management (including multiple LMK support), regional payment options, high performance RSA key generation, and PIN/key mailer printing.
payShield 9000 is available in a range of performance levels. As transaction volumes grow the customer has the option to deploy additional HSMs to meet the higher load requirements or if applicable purchase a performance upgrade for an existing HSM. The performance upgrade has the advantage of requiring just an upgraded software license to be applied with no physical hardware changes necessary.
Key Management Device
The Key Management Device (KMD) is a standalone handheld device that supports the forming of a key from its constituent components in a highly secure manner without the need to have a physical connection to a production HSM.
Security Resource Manager (SRM) for Tandem Host Systems
The Tandem SRM is a software application that runs on the Tandem host system and is the interface between the host payment application and the bank of HSMs. Its main purpose is to provide load balancing and resilience, enabling the host application to communicate through a simple interface to the SRM without having to manage the complexity of multiple HSMs – they will appear as a logical single HSM resource.
Security Resource Manager (SRM) for IBM Host Systems
The IBM SRM is a software application that runs on the IBM host system and is the interface between the host payment application and the bank of HSMs. Its main purpose is to provide load balancing and resilience, enabling the host application to communicate through a simple interface to the SRM without having to manage the complexity of multiple HSMs—they will appear as a logical single HSM resource.
Additional Smart Cards
Each payShield 9000 is shipped with a set of blank LMK component cards together with test LMK cards. Additional packs of 6 cards are available to assist with individual user configurations where a large number of cards are necessary to meet operational and security requirements across multiple data centers. All smart cards can be used with all current and legacy Thales payment HSMs – payShield 9000, HSM 8000 and RG7000.
Cabinets and Runner Kits
Customers can choose from a wide range of cabinets of different heights to suit their individual data center storage requirements. Complementary runners are available as kits to fit to the sides of the payShield 9000.
Replacement Locks and Keys
payShield 9000 uses two highly secure locks with associated keys on the front panel as part of the security administration procedures. The items are tightly controlled and registered and are not available on the open market. Thales provides a lock replacement and additional key supply service where for example locks are damaged or keys are lost.
Adapter Cables
payShield 9000 makes use of USB ports on its rear panel to provide connectivity for peripherals such as consoles and printers. In the legacy range of payment HSMs RS232 D-Type or Centronics parallel printer ports were supplied. For customers needing to reuse legacy cables, Thales is able to provide adapters to convert the end of the cables to the USB format.

Miley Cyrus was inspired to rekindle her romance with Liam Hemsworth by her parents' reconciliation.
The singer-and-actress - who initially split from the Australian actor last year after 18 months together - decided to give the relationship another go following parents Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus calling off their divorce.
An insider told website HollywoodLife.com: "Miley is so thrilled at her parents reconciling, and it made her stop and think that Liam is someone special in her life. Their feelings for each other never stopped, and now that their schedules are better suited for each other, they have been able to work it out. Plus her parents trust Liam.
"They started talking more at the same time Miley's parents were mending things. They started getting back together around Valentine's Day (14.02.11) and are now back on as boyfriend and girlfriend."
The news of the reconciliation comes after Miley revealed she is "not single".
The 18-year-old beauty - who was recently romantically linked with British actor Joshua Bowman after meeting him on the set of new movie 'So Undercover' - said during a recent interview on an Australian radio show ahead of her visit to the country in June: "I don't want to cross out the Australian boys but I may or may not be single ... I love Australian boys though obviously.
"Liam and I are very close, I'm not going to comment too much, but you guys don't have to worry about that ... I'm definitely not coming to Australia single."
Miley Cyrus decided to give her romance with Liam Hemsworth one last try after being inspired by her parents' reconciliation.

Was Tommy Jordan Out Of Line For Shooting His Daughters Laptop?
After reading the unflattering comments left by his daughter, Hannah, on her Facebook wall, Jordan went into his own eight-minute video rant about the things he and his wife have provided for their child, and ended off the video in explosive fashion. Jordan unloads eight shots from a .45 pistol into the laptop, which reportedly gained the man a visit from the authorities, including Child Protective Services. Unapologetic about his reaction and not facing charges, Jordan says the family is closer as a result of what happened although hes faced a bunch of tough criticism.
On the other side of the negative remarks however, Jordan has amassed a few fans of his version of tough love. While I can appreciate the sentiment behind Jordans actions, the use of the gun is where I hop off the train. I cant endorse using violence to hammer home a point. In a series of news polls done on almost every major media outlet, voters are mostly in approval of Jordans actions. Even Dr. Phil himself said he was entertained more than appalled by the video clip.
Disciplining your child is a necessary thing for fathers to administer, although Id argue that its an often difficult thing to do correctly. As children grow older, they have the potential to challenge their parents patience in a variety of ways. I dont imagine Id ever resort to shooting my daughters electronic equipment in order to get her to follow my lead. I hope that my words, steady presence and loving devotion is enough to make sure my child honors not only her parents, but also herself.
How about you, Father Factor readers? What do you think about what Tommy Jordan did? Tell us in the comments below or tweet to us at @FatherFactor. You can also comment on our Facebook page by following this link.

|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
In a deal made just in time for the 3:00pm EST trade deadline, the Celtics have traded Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson for Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic. In this deal, the Celtics have let go a center who has questionable durability. They also get red of a guard who isn't always used much, thanks to the presence of the incomparable Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo. In return, they get a forward in Green who's good for 15 points per game, 30.4% from three and 81.8% from the foul line in 37 minutes per game so far.
The lesser known Krstic is averaging just 21:41 per game, but he does shoot 80.3% from the free throw line. But most importantly, he's a healthy body at center, which is what Boston needs from their big men right now; his last injury was three years ago. Meanwhile, Green is back with the Celtics after being selected 5th overall by Boston in 2007, then being immediately traded to Seattle for Ray Allen.
The Celtics had an abundance of guards, so what this does is bring in a new forward and healthy center. That gets everyone some good playing time, and takes some stress off Pierce and Garnett, since Green can play either position. Boston is still low on centers, but have at least ensured themselves health until the others get back, or until they sign a new guy following the trade of Semih Erden and Luke Harangody (perhaps using the money gained from trading away Marquis Daniels).

[…] Celtics Trade Perkins, Robinson to Thunder for Green, Krstic […]
This is a dream come true. I literally cheered out loud when I heard that Perkins and Robinson were gone. Watching Perkins come back from his injury with all of his old habits was horrifying. Moving picks, the inability to stop bringing the ball down before winding up for a dunk, slow as molasses, and making errant or disinterested passes – I'll never know what everybody raves about with this injury prone, technical foul prone creature who is virtually unable to score if more than 3 feet from the basket. Good riddance. Same for Nate the great, who consistently launched ill advised, errant 3 pointers, and never lived up to whatever potential he was supposed to have. Trading Eddie House for him was one of the all time bonehead moves for the Celtics.
Jeff Green will be a fine addition and Krstic might actually play more than a few weeks without an injury. Yay for this trade!

A stunning 90th-minute volley from Cameron Jerome denied Southampton three points after a contentious red card threated to halt Stoke's comeback.
Pulis has spent much of the season raging against what he sees as his team's unsympathetic treatment by referees and when Stephen Nzonzi was shown a straight red by Mark Clattenburg with 20 minutes left the Stoke manager knew he would need again to bite his tongue.
Nzonzi was dismissed after a tangle of legs with Jack Cork left him standing over his prone opponent in a way that might have suggested to Clattenburg that he had stamped on the Southampton player. Yet television replays offered no evidence of contact, nor intent. Nzonzi is the third Stoke player sent off this season and their 41 yellow cards is the worst in the Premier League.
Given that Stoke – 3-1 down after 36 minutes – had just been denied an obvious penalty at 2-3, it was a moment to push Pulis to the brink. But then came saving grace in the 90th minute from the boot of substitute Jerome, who smashed in a screamer from 25 yards to preserve a record that has seen Stoke unbeaten at home in the top flight since February.
"We'll appeal against it," Pulis said. "It looks like Mark thought Stephen had stamped on their player and I've asked him to look at it again.
"Their player's reaction didn't help. There was no intent from Stephen and if you look at it he steps over Cork and lands his foot between his legs, which is quite clever.
"It is so disappointing but then Cameron comes up with a fantastic effort after already having had a goal disallowed for offside. He is a top, top player who really makes a difference when he comes on and if any side was going to win the game in the closing stages it was us."
A point was no more than Stoke deserved for their fightback yet in the first half they had looked a poor imitation of the side that beat Liverpool with style on Boxing Day.
Stoke concede the three Southampton goals inside the opening 36 minutes, which was an extraordinary turn of events, given that they had let in only four in nine home matches previously this season.
The absence through suspension of Ryan Shawcross, their captain and centre back, cannot have helped. In the first instance, as Ricky Lambert poached his eighth goal of the season after 10 minutes, they were caught out at the far post as the Southampton striker stole in behind everyone to convert Guly Do Prado's inswinging cross.
But goals two and three for the visitors stemmed from errors that could be attributed to lack of care. First Robert Huth, the regular starter of the two centre backs, seemingly unsure Asmir Begovic would cut out Lambert's cross, stuck out a foot, sending the ball over the goalkeeper's head and on to the bar, allowing Jay Rodriguez to knock it in.
Then Andy Wilkinson, the left back, dec ided to intercept a Jos Hooiveld header from a Jason Puncheon cross just as Begovic readied himself to deal with it, succeeding only in diverting the ball into his own net.
This followed a fine goal by Kenwyne Jones, who backheeled Ryan Shotton's pass past Kelvin Davis to cancel Lambert's goal. Jones had missed a sitter moments earlier but otherwise led the Stoke line in exemplary fashion. Jose Fonte was reduced to whatever means he could employ to keep Jones at bay, including using a hand – missed by Clattenburg – to repel a 68th-minute cross from Jonathan Walters.
Moments earlier, Shawcross's stand-in, Matthew Upson, had scored after a legitimate Fonte block on another Jones effort to signal the fightback that culminated in Jerome's cracker. Stoke might have won had Davis not pulled off a fine save from a late Peter Crouch header.
Stoke (4-4-2): Begovic; Shotton, Huth, Upson, Wilkinson (Whitehead, 70); Kightly (Crouch, 75), Whelan, Nzonzi, Etherington (Jerone, 57); Walters, Jones.
Southampton (4-4-2): K. Davis, Yoshida, Fonte, Hooiveld, Shaw (Fox, 82); Puncheon (Richardson, 85), Schneiderlin, Cork, Guly; Rodriguez, Lambert.

Anna from Payson, Utah writes:
I would like to get rid of having to type in a long password every time I open windows 8. Currently it came with Norton and each and every time I finish a little session I have to shut down the computer, as it will not work if I come back to it say one hour later. I must sign out then sign in with that long password. I have tried several methods to get rid of the password but nothing is working, like typing in a big long thing with lots of letters in it starting with an N I believe then going to settings and user. Can you tell me of an easy way to get rid of the password I must type each time I open Windows 8. I am the only user on this computer so I have no need for a secret password. Thank you so much for any help you can give me.
Anna: If I understand your questions correctly, I think your issue is with the lock screen password for Windows 8. If you feel secure enough to remove the password protection, here's how to make it happen.
On your start screen, select Settings below the search box and type Users in the search box.
Users should come up to the left. Touch or click on it, depending on if you are using a mouse or touchscreen.
PC settings will open and you'll need to select Users.
Under Sign-in options to the right, you'll see "Any user who has a password must enter it when waking this PC." Select Change.
You'll get a warning that changing this setting can allow anyone to wake up your PC. If you're sure you want to change the function, click OK.
If you do end up taking your computer somewhere it's possible others might log on, or maybe you have visitors you don't know very well in the house, you can always switch it back to requiring a password by following these same steps.
Hope that helps.

Nationwide, 1,139 companies have gone bust in the two-year aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake and continuing nuclear disaster, with liabilities totaling ¥1.31 trillion, according to a private credit research company.
The business failures were triggered by collapses of company buildings and sales plunges caused by the March 2011 disaster, the research firm said Thursday.
Compared with the two years since the Great Hanshin Earthquake that devastated the Kobe area in 1995, the number of disaster-caused bankruptcies was 3.4 times higher and the total debt amount 14 times larger, it said.
Though the number of such bankruptcies declined to 489 in the second year from 650 in the first year, one or more companies have gone under every day, Teikoku Databank's industry research division said.
"Disaster-related business failures will continue," it forecast.
By region, Tokyo had the most bankruptcies, at 297, accounting for 26.1 percent of the total. In the three Tohoku prefectures that were hardest hit by the March 2011 disaster, there were 140 business failures, or 12.3 percent of the total, linked to the catastrophe — 74 in Miyagi, 45 in Fukushima and 21 in Iwate.
About 70 percent of the disaster-caused bankruptcies, or 800 cases, took place in eastern to northern Japan.

"I'm real high on Missouri and KU have probably contacted me the most," Bennett stated. "And OU over the past couple of weeks has really grabbed my attention."
According to Bennett every school he has talked to is recruiting him for defensive end and tight end including the Sooners, but Bennett believes he could be great at one of those positions in particular.
"I think I'd be a great tight end," Bennett started. "I think I am athletic enough to just grab the ball and run. I'm fast enough and I think that would be a great spot for me."
When talking about the Sooners there are multiple aspects of the Oklahoma program that jump out at Bennett with tradition being his favorite.
"I mean its OU," Bennett said. "I mean that's it that's all you really have to say. You know the tradition and how well they have been over the last couple of years. Some people say they are college football and the foundation of it so I mean it's just tradition. I love that."
Bennett, who runs a 4.78 forty and a 52-second 400 meters is currently in track and field and participates in the discus, the high jump, the 4x400 meters as well as the open 400 meters. The Sooner coach that is handling Bennett's recruiting is newly hired tight ends coach Bruce Kittle,
"We keep in contact a lot," Bennett said about coach Kittle. "Coach Kevin Wilson, he was my guy until he moved."
The Sooners and Bennett kind of were at a halt once Wilson left but Kittle has done a good job picking up where Wilson left off with Bennett.
"It's great," Bennett said about his and Coach Kittle's relationship. "He just Facebook messaged me one day and we just started talking. I met him in the summertime and I doubt he remembered my face but I even liked him then."
Bennett has been busy with basketball up until just recently and has already started visiting college campuses as well.
"I just got back from Kansas this past weekend and I'll probably go to Kansas State March 4th or March 5th. And then I think to Nebraska sometime in late March."
Even though Oklahoma wasn't mentioned in his upcoming visit schedule Bennett says he does have plans to get to Norman again here soon.
"I've been there for regular stuff like basketball games," Bennett said about Norman. "And I did a little tour not too long ago of the campus. I will probably go to some of their spring practices and probably their scrimmage as well."
Bennett does appear to have some strong interest in the Oklahoma Sooners but he does say he would like to get out and see what else it out there outside of Oklahoma.
"I would love to see what else is out there for sure. I mean I love how OU happens to be 40-minutes away and it's that great of a college program but I would love to see what else is out there."
On the year Bennett finished the season with 50-tackles along with six-sacks. Stay tuned to Sooners Illustrated for more coverage on Bennett moving forward.

Trade Values: Joe Saunders
News and Rumors
While most of the attention has been focused on the Pirates' pursuit of a hitter, there may also be need for a pitcher to bolster a rotation that may be starting to leak a little water. Last weekend, the Pirates were one of four teams rumored to be in on Joe Saunders, as per Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic.
The left-handed Saunders has never overly impressed me, but he has been a reliable innings eater with both the Angels and the Diamondbacks. He has taken the hill at least 31 times each of the past 4 years and logged 186 to 212 innings over that time span. He's a lefty with an 89 mph fastball, 75 mph curve, and an 80 mph change. I've always felt that Saunders was just a half-step below Paul Maholm in terms of overall stuff, for comparison.

Staying Ahead of the Storm
Story by Jeremy Craig, Photography by Steven Swigart
To better prepare coastal Georgia for the worst, a GSU researcher digs to uncover clues from hurricanes of the past
CUMBERLAND ISLAND, NATIONAL SEASHORE, Ga. — "Nature writes a book for you," says assistant professor of geosciences Lawrence Kiage while at the wheel of a pickup truck bouncing along an unpaved, one-lane road. "We're here to decode what's written." On this hot June afternoon, Kiage and his team of researchers are digging deep into the dirt on this pristine barrier island to better understand threats from the skies: giant storms.
Over the past century and a half, Georgia hasn't seen many hurricanes, much less a catastrophic one in the league of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The last hurricane to make a direct hit was Hurricane David in 1979, which made landfall as a weakened Category 1 on the Saffir-Simpson Scale.
But that's not to say a monster of a tempest couldn't slam into coastal Georgia in the future.
If the worst kind of hurricane struck Savannah, for example — a Category 5 with sustained winds more than 157 miles an hour — much of the city could be inundated with several feet of water. But what are the odds of the worst happening? It's hard to have faith in the numbers when probabilities are based on only 150 years or so worth of recorded storms.
Kiage wants the odds to be more precise.
His work is part of a relatively new science — "paleotempestology," the study of ancient storms. And it might just be the key in better preparation for the worst.
Written in Sand and Sediment
When a hurricane hits a coastline, it stirs up a storm surge that washes over land. It takes sand from the beaches with it, and microscopic organisms from the ocean, depositing them on adjacent marsh. Over the years, sediment is deposited over the sand washed up by hurricanes.
"During the course of normal sedimentation, you'll find a lot of peat there in the clay," Kiage said. "So when we have a storm bringing in the sand, you'll see a very immediate break in the natural deposition."
The layers of sediment between the sand deposits can tell how active — or quiet — storms were during a given time period.
On Wassaw Island, for example, where he did preliminary research before obtaining National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/Sea Grant funding for this much larger project, he was able to infer a record of hurricanes stretching back nearly two millennia before present.
There, the record showed periods of increased activity from around 2,000 years ago to around 1,100 years before present, and then another active period from 100 years ago to now. The sand and sediment seem to point to a quiet time between 1,100 years ago to 250 years ago.
Clockwise from top left: The team– Terry McCloskey, Lawrence Kiage, Dan McCartha, Doug Hoffman, Amber Keller; Kiage and McCloskey dig using a "Livingston" corer for sediment samples; Kiage and McCloskey examine a sediment core for sandy layers; McCartha measures a sediment core.
To determine the time periods, Kiage is using different types of data, including remnants of vegetation buried in the ground.
"If we can find something that represents vegetation, we can infer as to which climate was prevailing at the time," he says.
Pollen is a good indicator of vegetation, showing which types of vegetation existed at a certain location — allowing scientists to infer climate, chemistry of water and even human activity.
The thickness of overwash layers can also tell scientists the strength of a given hurricane. Stronger hurricanes are accompanied by large storm surge and will push more sand into adjacent marsh than weaker ones.
To get a better feeling for how overwash layers indicate hurricane strength, Kiage and his team had to go to one
of Georgia's peaceful, naturally kept wonders — Cumberland Island.
In the late 1890s, before hurricanes were given names, a storm estimated by modern standards to be a major Category 4 storm made landfall on the island. If Kiage can get a good core sample, he could have a better guide in order to infer the strengths of ancient storms.
"If we can get that, it would be really, really successful," he said.
Under the Saffir-Simpson Scale, any storm with winds at or over 111 miles an hour is considered a major hurricane at Categories 3, 4 and 5. While the 20th century was relatively quiet, recorded hurricane history for Georgia started in the mid-19th century, where records show that three major hurricanes struck the coast after 1850.
In the 20th century, landfalling storms were much weaker, at Category 2 or less. At Wassaw Island, where Lawrence Kiage's studies into ancient hurricanes started in order to secure a NOAA research grant, there were five landfalling hurricanes.
Just because a tropical system doesn't directly strike a Georgia coastline doesn't mean that the state won't be impacted. Tropical Storm Alberto in 1994 — a weak tropical storm — made landfall on Florida, but stalled over south Georgia as it moved north and dumped torrential rains, leading to heavy flooding and more than 30 deaths.
Digging Deeper
As Kiage's truck followed Doug Hoffman, a National Park Service wildlife biologist, to Whitney Lake on the north end of the island, some of the island's native wildlife — deer and wild horses — brought Kiage's trek to a halt.
"When I grew up, these were the kind of roads I went down when I was in Kenya," he said. Similar dusty, bumpy roads in his native land wind their way through African environments that are changing — leading him down the path to studying ancient climates.
One of his first academic projects was to study Kenya's Lake Baringo, a receding, 50-square mile lake in a semi-arid environment.
There, he studied the climates of ancient times, as well as gathered hints about human activity around the lake. Later, during his studies at Louisiana State University, he was introduced to the study of ancient hurricanes.
Here on Cumberland Island, he and his crew lugged their equipment another mile through the sands to Whitney Lake on the north end of the island, where Kiage hoped to pull some core samples.
One problem: the lake was relatively parched as Georgia has suffered from drought.
"The lake is dry, but there's an area with water that's possibly spring fed," Hoffman told Kiage. "It's the only most significant amount of freshwater on the island."
Through the brush, Kiage; Terry McCloskey, a Louisiana State University post-doctoral fellow, undergraduate
Amber Keller and graduate student Dan McCartha made their way to the lake.
Getting the core samples wasn't an easy task on Cumberland. McCloskey, forced his entire body weight onto the manual corer, then, with Kiage's help, pulled it back up to obtain a cylinder-shaped core from the lake bed. The core wasn't exactly what they needed.
"That's mostly sand," McCloskey said. "I don't think we'll find what we need at this spot."
They moved again, going further out into the lake, attempting to see if a derelict boat left by one of the island's few remaining permanent residents might work to bring them towards the middle of the lake. But it was rusted out and full of holes.
After meandering in the sweltering sun and trudging through the sludge, Kiage's team pulled out what they needed.
After the Cumberland dig, Kiage's headed up the coast to Jekyll Island, and then just north of the state line to Hilton Head Island, S.C. for more samples.
Back in the Lab
A few weeks later in Kiage's lab in Kell Hall, Keller took scrapings of soils from a core sample that was cut in half into tiny, thimble-sized bowls, where they'll be heated in a kiln.
Centimeter by centimeter, the soil samples were put into a kiln, where they were heated at progressively higher temperatures, starting at 221 degrees Fahrenheit and ending at 1,832 degrees.
"When we subject the sediments to different temperatures, the reaction tells us the composition," Kiage said.
The heating helped him detect how much organic material was in the cores.
Photo left side: Kiage holds a sediment core taken from one of Georgia's barrier islands, where sediment is being analyzed in his lab. Middle photo, top to bottom: Kiage prepares sediment samples for a kiln, which will heat the material to more than 221 degrees Fahrenheit.
The next step brought samples downstairs to an X-ray fluorescence spectroscope, or XRF, where he will bombard the samples with high-energy gamma radiation to detect what types of elements — such as iron, titanium, chlorine and sodium — are contained in the sand.
"A sand layer brought in from the ocean has a much higher chlorine content," Kiage explained.
To detect the types of vegetation found in the cores, which helps scientists put a timeframe on the sediment layers, the team sought to identify pollen, using powerful acid to pull it from the sediment.
"Pollen can help determine vegetation conditions," Kiage said. "In a hurricane event, the storm will disturb the vegetation."
All of the work took the entire summer to analyze, and the team took another trip to the coast, at St. Catherines Island, to pull up more core samples.
Storms of the Future
Kiage said that there are a number of different hypotheses that attempt to explain the frequency of hurricanes and the steering of them.
Some tie hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean to the El Niño climate pattern — a temporary change in the climate of the Pacific Ocean characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatures. Its opposite is called La Niña, where unusually cold ocean temperatures prevail.
Right now, the Georgia coast is one of the safer places to invest on the coast, especially since the frequency of hurricanes — at least during recorded history — has been low.
Some researchers point to the position of the Bermuda-Azores High, a large persistent center of high pressure in the atmosphere that develops over part of the Atlantic Ocean.
Other scientists point to solar activity as a possible explanation.
Right now, the Georgia coast is one of the safer places to invest on the coast, especially since the frequency of hurricanes — at least during recorded history — has been low.
"But as you invest there, somebody has to insure your property," Kiage said. "The insurance industry will want to know some of this. The data from the project will be very useful for them to take into consideration."
And beyond property, lives must be protected.
"Emergency managers need to be aware, because once we establish the record, and as we might get into an
El Niño or La Niña year, they will be much more prepared for hurricane activity," Kiage said.

Mostly 9mm for me. I initially chose 40 for SD. Why I changed to 9mm: cheaper to shoot, my wife does not like the recoil of a 40 but can handle a 9mm, can carry/store more 9mm than 40, low recoil, availability, my perception of the marginal difference between 9/40/45 for SD using hollowpoints, low recoil and the capacity of 9mm in a handgun magazine.
If I lived in NY or Cali, I would choose the 45 or 10mm or some other larger bore caliber. If I cannot have capacity, then I will go for largest diameter round I can get.
I have only 1 40 cal handgun left and I will be trading that in soon for a 9mm or a 10mm.
I never was a 45acp kind of guy.
I just purchased a 10mm (Glock 20) for SD when hunting. If that floats my boat, I may carry it or a 10mm subcompact (Glock 29) during winter weather. I do like everything I read about the ballistic performance of the 10mm. It is hard to argue against 357 magnum performance or 41 magnum performance with a 15 round magazine.
I am happy with my choices. The only time I question them is when I compare size of 9mm Hollowpoint right next to the size of a 10mm Hollowpoint.
I, or anyone else for that matter, cannot buy guns/bullets/etc. our way to performance. It is easier to throw $$ at a perceived problem, when in fact we should be throwing time and energy perfectly practicing perfect technique to be effective. It's the software and not the hardware.
