Your Challenges
Most printed communication is not read or acted upon. A 2% response rate is the norm. The variable data printing tools available to combat this low response rate often have vital limitations.
Key Challenges
Low complexity
transactional VIP tools produce high volumes but can personalize on only a very basic level
tools (plug ins) are available but can only be used with one design application, such as Quark XPress or InDesign
Slow speeds
, very basic personalization, and network congestion are limitations of traditional Mail Merge applications
How Xerox Can Help
PrintShop Mail Suite is a personalization software solution that allows users to create dynamic, database-driven documents quickly and easily. PrintShop Mail allows you to personalize your promotional communications by varying text, graphics, barcodes, or entire layouts based on information found in your database.
Shortens the printing process and decreases network traffic
by sending the static document together with the link to the database to the RIP only once
Saves time
because PrintShop Mail allows your PostScript printer to run at or near rated speed
Reduces print costs and waste
with efficient workflow and verification and checking features
Utilizes your existing design applications
such as Quark XPress, PageMaker, Illustrator, or Microsoft Word
Utilizes your existing database
including Paradox, Microsoft FoxPro, Excel, and Access in the Windows version and Dbase and delimited ASCII in both Windows and Macintosh versions
Increases printstream reliability
because PrintShop Mail allows you to perform a resource check and verify if all data will appear correctly
Why Choose Xerox?
Utilizes Xerox technology
including fast printing speeds, high reliability, and a variety of finishing capabilities
Easier purchase process
than the competition because your Xerox representative will handle both your hardware and software needs
Faster problem solving
with one point of contact for hardware and/or software support - unlike competitive offerings that have separate contacts for hardware and software support
Compatible Products
Xerox award-winning copiers, printers, and multifunction printers include flexible platforms that accommodate a wide variety of software solutions. Software functionality may vary by product model. Contact your local sales representative for detailed compatibility information.

I would have done,
Envato Markets
The plural
Australia said
I would have done,
Envato MarketsThe plural
The new change of "Market" conveys a lot. They no longer see it as 8 marketplaces. They have 1 market. 8 Category menus. And each category has sub categories. Sub categories have sub categories.
Hope there won't be just 1 weekly popular page for entire market (place)
Australia said
I would have done,
Envato MarketsThe plural
I think singular is cleaner. Super simple. The individual sites make up the whole = Envato Market.
SamBerson said
I'm not entirely sure what's going on with the argument above me, but… I just want to give a massive congratulations to everyone who's worked on this new rebrand, and I hope Envato continue to go from strength to strength! :grin
Edit: I guessed there must've been something brewing brand-wise, because Studio changes their font for the logo, as well the Account page, so it could only be so long before the marketplaces (ahem, Market) did the same!
Observant as always, Sam!

3Ddym saidHush, don't jinx it, maybe they will finally open up online store for us to buy t-shirts, hoodies and stuff (one can only hope, right? )
Nice but it would be better if it's envato digital market, just my thought.
I've heard rumours around the office

We expect official answers Jordan. If staffs share rumours, authors will create conspiracies
This is great, i love the way things are going and all the new implementations as of late..
Not sure if this is a cache issue on my end, but i noticed that when viewing the small-width responsive (yay!) version of the http://market.envato.com landing page, the navigation menu (off-canvas slide-in) is still showing the "old" logo envato marketplaces.
Maybe you forgot to change the logo in the mobile menu?
I would call it
Nitro_Themes said
I would call it Envatozone.
Would be a good pitch when they send their first author in outer space

Thanks for pointing this out to us, simonswiss! We are updating the logo in the menu right now

/// Viral Video: Tracy Morgan Can Cuss About Social Media in 140 Characters
April 3, 2012 | All Things Digital
I love "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan, most especially when he is naughty. Which is pretty much all the time, including in this "Shorty Interview," where Morgan talks about social media in 140 characters. Which irritates him. Which also somehow makes him talk about "Planet of the Apes." Which, apropos of nothing, is also my favorite movie. Morgan, whose Twitter handle is @RealTracyMorgan, did this clever video for the Shorty Awards, which apparently honors social media.
The rest is here:

People had body armor in the beginning, some people just had older PASGT armor that only provided frag protection instead of the newer stuff that had rifle plates. That PASGT frag armor is the EXACT same stuff worn during Desert Storm. It takes quite awhile to get new stuff fielded. As with all things, units that need the new stuff the most get it the quickest. An Infantryman is usually going to get new armor over a cook because of job requirements. Eventually that cook is going to get the new stuff, but only after people who need it to complete their job get it first.
Because of people like you that complained so much about the troops needing body armor Infantrymen and other combat arms troops have been fighting TWO battles. One against the enemy and one against the weight of gear. The military became too focused on body armor and tried to armor every inch of every troop to the point that we could hardly move. Body armor with front back and side plates, groin protector, arm protectors, neck protector, throat protector, lower back protector, add on to helmet to protect back of neck, etc. Guess what, we had all that stuff and wore only the bare basic vest and helmet. Sometimes not even the helmet. Stuff gets heavy on foot in the mountains chasing guys wearing pajamas with only a rifle and a mag or 3.
Armored vehicles is another example of getting things done as quickly as possible. The threat of IED's was realized and uparmored Humvees came about. Those helped, but development continued and now the MRAP is doing it's thing and saving lives. It takes time to develop and test new equipment in the military. Nothing happens overnight.
When a person signs up for the military, especially during a time of war, they are choosing to go where the government sends them with the gear that they get issued. You do go to war with what you got. There are a lot of battles that have been won with substandard gear. The guys about to storm Iwo Jima didn't say "whoa, whoa, whoa...I didn't sign up to do this with only a steel pot for armor. I'd like my own personal tank and one of those flak jackets the bomber crews wear before I go do this." They did what they had to do with what they had.
Maybe before joining the military someone should look at what's in the system and decide if they are going to be comfortable on patrol using the current issue gear. There are no promises that it will be upgraded in the future. US troops should be thankful they got what they got. Other armies around the world don't have that luxury and you can expect to see that luxury of improving equipment disappear under Democrat control.
It would be financially unsound for the military to outfit everyone with all of the best gear on the market when the vast majority of the military could deploy overseas in an orange jumpsuit with no body armor or weapon and complete their mission just the same. Problem is, that is what they are trying to do because everyone cries to mommy about not having this or that and guess what? We end up with cooks and mechanics with better rifles and gear than combat arms soldiers in some instances....how's that for backwards and a waste of funds?
Now, back to the original topic
Expect to see more of that type of stuff. Money was good for the military while President Bush was in office. Money for training and equipment was readily available. Don't be surprised to hear stories of guys going back to saying "bang bang" during training because there isn't money for ammo like during the Clinton years. It is very common for the military to get screwed when a Democrat is in office.

County 4-H Program Volunteers Honored By Human Services Council
Posted: April 24, 2012
Pam Nealer, leader with the Trailblazers 4-H Horse Club, was named Volunteer of the Year. The Gordon 4-H Club, led by Clark and Connie Bruner, was named the Volunteer Group of the Year for the club community service activity. Two members – Garrett Richardson and Bonnie Reilly – were winners of Indiana County Student Community Service Scholarships, sponsored by S&T Bank and the Human Services Council. The Volunteer Recognition Breakfast is an annual event to honor county volunteers.
Winner of Group Award – Gordon 4-H Club, represented by Connie Bruner, club leader; and Jesse Isenberg, club president; nominated by Penn State Extension and Indiana County 4-H.
If you have ever traveled to Blairsville during any of the patriotic holidays and marveled at the beautiful flag display at the Blairsville Cemetery, you have seen a truly beautiful display that is unique in our county. However, all of those flags need raised and lowered by someone. And that takes time and effort. (The flag program is coordinated by the Blairsville Cemetery Association and St. Simon and Jude Church.)
The Gordon 4-H Club, based in the Blairsville area, has chosen to help with the flag raising and lowering as part of their community service effort. An estimated 200 flags are part of the display. The Gordon Club has been in existence for many years, but recently changed organizational leaders, and with new leadership, there has been a new commitment to community service for the club. The new club leaders are Clark and Connie Bruner. In discussion with club members, it was agreed that as many members as possible would help whenever the flags need to be raised and lowered. During 2011, 7 members of the club and some parents helped with this process four times – Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4, and Veteran's Day. Members like to see the flags flying and think the activity is fun and exciting. They also enjoying getting to know and talk with the veterans who also help with the flags. They get to hear good stories and learn more about the vets who have lived in the area. It is a great citizenship experience for all involved. Connie estimates that 45 hours of time were spent in this process. The club has also done other community service as well during 2011. Members made crafts for a local nursing home and then delivered those crafts to the home and visited the residents. This was a great inter-generational experience as the members actually visited residents in their rooms and were able to talk with them one-on-one. A total of 23 members and parents made the crafts, and 19 members and parents visited the home. This was a total of 42 hours of time.
The club also visited Tractor Supply Company during the 4-H Paper Clover Campaign and provided a free lunch to people who had donated a clover to the campaign. Members interacted with the public and learned communication skills. This involved three people with nine hours of time.
Total time spent in community service by this club during 2011 – 96 hours.
Volunteer of the Year
Pam Nealer, nominated by Penn State Extension and Indiana County 4-H Pam is a leader with the Trailblazers 4-H Horse Club and has 31 years of service with the county 4-H program. She contributes to the 4-H program beyond the club level by participating in programming at county, regional, and state levels. She contributed over 400 hours of service during 2011.
Pam contributes many hours each month to her local club, a large group with 25 members.She mainly serves as a project leader and encourages club members to develop skills by participating in county contests such as horse bowl and hippology. Pam serves as a moderator for the county horse bowl contest, chosen because of her fairness and ability to work well with the contestants who are often very nervous. She currently serves as chair of the county horse leaders committee.
At the district level, Pam serves as the county representative to the District 10 Horse Program Committee and serves as a show committee member. Pam often is the peacemaker in discussions with disgruntled exhibitors and their parents. She also designs the hunter and jumper courses. She also provides the actual jumps and equipment for these classes, often traveling many miles to deliver the items.
Pam is making a major contribution to the state 4-H horse program at a state level by serving as a member of the State Horse Program Development Committee which determines policy and programs for the state horse program. Her membership involves a major time and financial commitment, with meetings in State College and many conference calls during the year. Her work with this group includes the endowment fund, rule book committee, and Team Horse Power, a group of teens teaching others. Pam makes a major contribution to the State 4-H Horse Show each year by designing the courses for the jumping classes, providing a quality course worthy of state competition.
Pam is a also an Level 4 Examiner for horsemanship skills, which means that she herself has a very high degree of riding ability and can work with members in determining their skill level. Her involvement in the program has improved riding skills and horse knowledge for hundreds of youth across the state. Her local impact is with 65 county members, but her work in improving horsemanship skills is multiplied with hundreds of members many times over at the regional and state level.
Pam's commitment at this level takes many, many hours of dedication. Her family business has made many contributions to the county program, especially to support teams attending national horse contests. She is very rarely reimbursed for any of her expenses in traveling to other counties where she does clinics or programs, and she often turns down reimbursement even when it is offered. She drives several thousand miles a year on 4-H business. She makes a financial commitment as well as a time commitment to the program.

"Why aren't you having lunch at McDonald's today?"
- Thats fast food, everything is fried, and its unhealthy.
"Oh yea? That "healthy" Frontega Chicken sandwich has about 800 calories, almost 40g of fat, and 2200mg of Sodium. That is MORE than any crispy chicken sandwich from McDonalds, and equal to the Original Chicken Sandwich from BK"
Just add some earth tone colors to the interior and make people believe that what they are eating is good because you offer a fvcking apple, and everyone will choose with their eyes, not with their head.
If you think that people go out to eat at any restaurant and know that its as unhealthy, if not more unhealthy, than fast food... you sir, are definitely blinded.

Environmental Residential College, 2011October 29th, 2011
On a sunny Saturday morning in October 2011 the students of the Environmental Residential College, led by professors Chris Daniels, Steve Jordan and Mark Spiro, dug and removed several large patches of Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) and several young Norway maple trees (Acer platanoides) and planted 20 native trees – 10 eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis) and 10 flowering dogwood (Cornus florida). Japanese knotweed is a particularly aggressive weed that grows back from even the smallest piece of root remaining in the soil. Continued removal of these plants will be required in the future.
Bucknell University Arboretum – Grand OpeningSeptember 28th, 2010
After two and a half years of hard work by faculty, staff, and some outstanding students, it is my great pleasure to announce the opening of the Bucknell University Arboretum!
Please join us Friday, Oct. 1 at 11:00 a.m. in the grove across from Bucknell Hall (or inside, if it's raining) to celebrate a century and a half of wise stewardship and the official launch of this fantastic campus resource.
See you there,
Mark Spiro and Duane Griffin
Environmental Residential College, 2009December 10th, 2009
On a beautiful fall afternoon in 2009 the students of the Environmental Residential College, led by professors Ned Ladd and Mark Spiro, and together with facilities staff, removed three large Norway maples (Acer platanoides) and planted 20 native trees – 10 eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis) and 10 flowering dogwood (Cornus florida). Norway maple is an aggressive invasive species that competes for moisture and nutrients in the soil damaging the native flora. Norway maples quickly re-sprout from the cut stump so the site will need to be continuously monitored for regrowth of these trees.

Clint Newton is searching for a new NRL club after being told by Penrith he won't be awarded a contract at the end of this season.
The 32-year-old former Newcastle star, who played for Melbourne in the 2007 premiership final, is confident of remaining in the NRL having already completed a three-year stint in the English Super League with Hull KR.
"I won't be staying at Penrith - it will be somewhere else," Newton told AAP.
"England was great, I had a good time there, but being back here with the family I think that has run its course.
"Not being here at Penrith is disappointing but that's life and I will still be giving my all here until the end of the season.
"This is what I love doing and I want to carry on playing."
Newton has already been in discussions with three clubs and believes helping a Penrith side, tipped as wooden spoon certainties at the start of the season, into the finals, would be a great way to leave the club.
"I had the chance to go to a couple of other clubs when I came back home from England," he said.
"But I was really impressed by Phil Gould and Ivan Cleary's had plans for the future,.
"I like to think I have played a part in helping the club move forward and I think the future here is very bright.
"There are some very talented young players here and I will look forward to seeing their progress in years to come.
"But my goal now is to do my best and get Penrith into the finals and go out of the club on a high.
"I've loved every minute of my time here."

p.s. beware reading pups, don't get any ideas from Sadie and Oakley they are two little devious (but cute!) puppies!
Well I decided that it would be appropriate to create a profile for the both of them so they could record their devious plans they like to come up with so here is Sadie and Oakley to tell you everything they have done in the past so far!
Dear readers,
this is Sadie, don't listen to my human i am a genius, master pup who loves to entertain myself and my sister!! first off the things i have learned (and the things my humans had to learn) I can escape just about anything. THe first gate was just no challenge and i learned to climb it because it was so short well i gues tall to keep us in but not for me i can climb! Then they got a baby gate and i learned to squeeze myself through the bars even though i really don't fit. And then they put a mesh type material over th door and i learned to push the little corner open enough to get through but then it closed behind my sister. She hates when i escape because she can;t figure it out, I am just a plain ol' devious pup!
Well best regards till later,
Sadie and My sissy, Oakley!

im looking for an air intake for my 06 wrx. im looking at k and n and cobbs intakes. which one is going to give me more bang for my buck. the cobb is alot cheaper but are the hp gains the same as the k and n? thanks again guys

im looking for an air intake for my 06 wrx. im looking at k and n and cobbs intakes. which one is going to give me more bang for my buck. the cobb is alot cheaper but are the hp gains the same as the k and n? thanks again guys
i own an impreza 2.5i and I have found from others on the forums that an intake isnt really a good first mod... it really doest gain a whole of horse power. mostly just aperance. but like me... comming from a chevy backround and intake system is a good mod. I (like myself) have looked into k&n and COBB. now they oth have reasonable rep. and seem to follow the same design. I would look more into exhaust or some other mod... (personatly) I myself feel the same way I wish there was more of a horse power gain but to be honest stock intakes un subys are decent.
I am currently looking at the COBB ram a.i. nice, but its a form of plastic... as where k&n is al.
another thing K&N has a typhoon that extends down into the inner wheel well. "I think" logicly it would suck a little bit more cold air than the COBB that sits on top, close to the motor.
well hopefully I havent confused you too much...

If you are heavily modded, then you don't need to listen to me
I personally like the AEM intake, its got one of the best filters out there IMO and its still not that expensive.
Intakes are one of the cheapest mods out there compared with exhaust or engine management.
If you are not heavily moded then take that money you were going to spend on the intake and get yourself a dp. The best bang for your buck intake, is the stock one.
Well, hopefully you'll get back to us on whether you're heavily modded or not...
But in the meantime, if you're just starting to mod, here are some links I suggest you check out:

Well, about the only gain you will get from a new intake is a cool sound from the engine bay. For the WRX, the stock intake is actually good for up around 400 hp applications, so an aftermarket one is unnecessary. I have an APS pod intake on my car because it works fine with the mods I have, but it was mainly for the cool sound effect. If you want to check out the APS one, you can look at either www.airpowersystems.com.au or GRDperformance.com .
GRD has actually done all of my installs and as far as I know you can order stuff from them and they ship it just like an online vendor, even though they are an actual shop. Personally for my first mod I would either get a reflash at your local shop or a Cobb AP. Good luck in your hunt and tell us what you choose to do!
I will say that you take that money you were going to spend on an intake and get a dp. You will not be disapointed.Originally Posted by Turbo777WRx
If all you wont is some extra sound, just do the intake silencer delete mod. I personaly didnt do it because after my tbe the car sounds so good already.

Summer television schedule offers viewers variety
When it comes to television, we're in a bull market for doomsayers. It's the end of the broadcast networks, as their signals are pirated and their quality is eclipsed by cable and online shows. It's the end of commercial TV, as the advertising dollars move to the Internet. It's the end of entertainment, as attention spans shrink to the length of a YouTube video.
And yet the shows keep coming. The 2013 summer season, which got under way this week, presents worthwhile options even beyond the 34 new and returning series, mini-series, movies and online originals listed in this preview.
The season may be relatively low in the kind of flashy, aspiring water-cooler fare that draws attention these days — of the new shows on the list, only Showtime's "Ray Donovan" and "The Bridge" on FX truly fit into that category — but it's relatively high in shows that promise stylish and smart entertainment. USA's "Graceland," BBC America's "Broadchurch" and NBC's "Crossing Lines" may fit that description, and returnees like Showtime's "Dexter," BBC America's "Being Human" and HBO's "Newsroom" have already shown that they do.
Striking a seasonal note, two of the summer's most highly anticipated new shows allow us to spend a significant amount of our couch time at the beach: "Graceland," set on the Southern California coast but filmed in Florida, and "Ray Donovan," set in the Los Angeles basin with frequent forays to the expensive sands of Malibu and Santa Monica.
The dominant theme of the summer, though, may be goodbyes, as high-profile series like AMC's "Breaking Bad," Showtime's "Dexter," USA's "Burn Notice" and Comedy Central's "Futurama" begin their final seasons. But that's probably just a reflection of what are actually boom times for TV: With more shows being made than ever before, there are more leave-takings that deserve notice.
"Longmire" (A&E, Monday) — This dark modern western starring Robert Taylor as a burned-out Wyoming sheriff was one of last summer's pleasant surprises. As Season 2 starts, Walt Longmire and his combative deputy, Vic Moretti (Katee Sackhoff), are as amusingly irritated with each other as ever.
"Prisoners of War" (Hulu, Tuesday) — The second season of the Israeli series that inspired one of the best shows on U.S. TV, "Homeland," becomes available online.
"Wizards vs. Aliens" (the Hub, June 1) — Russell T Davies, the driving force behind the modern "Doctor Who," is a creator of this children's series about two 16-year-old British boys — one a wizard — battling aliens who look like a cross between Klingons and members of the "Cats" chorus.
"The Killing" (AMC, June 2) — A co-production deal with Netflix saved the show from cancellation, and so Season 3 begins a year after the conclusion of the Rosie Larsen case, with the former detective Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) working on a ferry dock. Among the central cast, only Enos and Joel Kinnaman, as Linden's once and future partner, Holder, return.
"The Fosters" (ABC Family, June 3) — The producing team behind the flight-attendant reality series "Fly Girls" turns to fiction with this new teenage drama about lesbian moms raising a family of foster and biological children. Teri Polo and Sherri Saum play the mothers; Jennifer Lopez is an executive producer.
"Mistresses" (ABC, June 3) — In this prime-time soap, based on a British series that ran from 2008 to 2010, extramarital sex is the premise rather than a bonus. Alyssa Milano, Yunjin Kim (of "Lost"), Rochelle Aytes and Jes Macallan are the quartet of friends in this third- or fourth-generation descendant of "Sex and the City."
"Burn Notice" (USA, June 6) — Season 7 will be a wrap for this long-running (by cable standards) spy dramedy.
"Graceland" (USA, June 6) — This heavily hyped new series is a crime show that combines "The Real World" (seven strangers in a design-catalog beach house) with "Point Break" (uptight rookie and Zen-master veteran sharing surfing lessons and bonfires). Created by Jeff Eastin, creator of USA's "White Collar," it's based on a sand grain of a true story about undercover agents from different federal agencies sharing a Southern California house.
"Primeval: New World" (Syfy, June 8) — This Canadian spinoff of the British series "Primeval" moves the angry-time-traveling-dinosaur action from England to Vancouver, British Columbia, and has an almost entirely new cast, led by Niall Matter, who played the bad boy Zane on Syfy's "Eureka."
"Sam & Cat" (Nickelodeon, June 8) — Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) of "iCarly" and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) of "Victorious" get their own show in this double spinoff. The preternaturally mature Sam and the ditsy Cat will meet, become friends and start a baby-sitting service.
"King & Maxwell" (TNT, June 10) — Jon Tenney, so dapper as an FBI agent in TNT's "Closer" and "Major Crimes," goes scruffy to play a former Secret Service agent turned Washington-based private eye on the channel's latest lightweight summer crime series (not to be confused with "Rizzoli & Isles"). Rebecca Romijn plays his partner-antagonist.
"Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer" (HBO, June 10) — HBO's summer documentary series begins with Mike Lerner and Maxim Pozdorovkin's film about the Russian punk band and cause celebre, which won a special jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
"Inspector Lewis" (PBS, June 16) — With 27 feature-length episodes, Lewis (Kevin Whately) is closing in on his former guv'nor in the Thames Valley police, Inspector Morse, who logged 33. But this summer's three cases, which lead off the "Masterpiece Mystery!" season, may be Lewis' last (signals are mixed). "Mystery!" will continue with the Morse prequel "Endeavour," a new adaptation of "The Lady Vanishes" and the long-awaited seventh season of "Foyle's War."
"True Blood" (HBO, June 16) — The "Peyton Place" of erotic supernatural fantasies enters its first season without the daily attention of its creator, Alan Ball, who stepped down as showrunner after Season 5.
"Futurama" (Comedy Central, June 19) — This venerable (it made its debut in 1999) and reliably funny animated sitcom begins its final season, having been canceled for the second time.
"Crossing Lines" (NBC, June 23) — The title of this crime drama is doubly apt: The show is about a team of globe-trotting investigators at the International Criminal Court, and it's an American-German-French production. Donald Sutherland and William Fichtner star.
"Devious Maids" (Lifetime, June 23) — Last year ABC passed on this show, technically a spinoff of "Desperate Housewives," but Lifetime stepped in with a 13-episode order. Edy Ganem, Ana Ortiz, Dania Ramirez, Judy Reyes and Roselyn Sanchez play an unusually attractive group of Beverly Hills domestics.
"Under The Dome" (CBS, June 24) — A town in Maine finds itself cut off from the rest of the world by an invisible dome, which is apparently a bad thing, in this mini-series based on a Stephen King novel.
"Dexter" (Showtime, June 30) — Michael C. Hall's honorable serial killer reaches the end of the line — one way or another — as this Showtime bellwether enters its eighth and final season.
"Ray Donovan" (Showtime, June 30) — Showtime's new Emmy-bait drama feels a lot like "The Sopranos" on Sunset Boulevard: A Hollywood fixer who lives in suburban Calabasas makes deals and dispenses violence while coping with his highly strung wife, young children, troubled brothers and menacing gangster father. Liev Schreiber leads an impressive cast that includes Jon Voight, Elliott Gould, Katherine Moennig and Eddie Marsan. The pilot telegraphs the ambitions of the show's creator, Ann Biderman ("Southland"), with a scene that pays homage to a Gould film that is one of the classics of Southern California noir, Robert Altman's "The Long Goodbye."
"Moone Boy" (Hulu, July 10) — Chris O'Dowd of "Bridesmaids" and "Family Tree" created this series for the British network Sky; it will have its U.S. premiere online at Hulu. O'Dowd plays a young Irish boy's imaginary friend.
"The Bridge" (FX, July 10) — The latest dark Nordic thriller adaptation, this serial-killer tale shifts the action from the Denmark-Sweden frontier to the U.S.-Mexico border. Diane Kruger and Demian Bichir play the lead cops.
"Orange is the New Black" (Netflix, July 11) — Jenji Kohan, creator of "Weeds," hops on the Netflix bandwagon with a dark comedy about a Brooklyn woman (Taylor Schilling, of NBC's "Mercy") sentenced to a year in federal prison. The series is based on the memoir of the same title by Piper Kerman.
"Being Human" (BBC America, July 13) — With its original ghost, werewolf and vampire gone, this story of supernatural friendship returns for a final season with several new cast members. (Lenora Crichlow, who played Annie the ghost, can be seen on the new ABC sitcom "Back in the Game" this fall.)
"The Newsroom" (HBO, July 14) — Aaron Sorkin's much maligned drama about romance and idealism in a television newsroom returns for a second season.
"Teen Beach Movie" (Disney, July 19) — Disney's latest candidate for movie-musical franchisehood zaps two teenagers (Ross Lynch and Maia Mitchell) into an alternate dimension where they're inside a beach party movie that looks a lot like "Grease."
"Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove" (Hallmark, July 20) — The channel's first original scripted series, based on one of Macomber's series of novels, stars Andie MacDowell as a small-town judge.
"Broadchurch" (BBC America, Aug. 7) — This contemporary murder mystery set in a seaside resort was a hit in Britain, where its eight-episode first season averaged more than 9 million total viewers. David Tennant ("Doctor Who") stars as a senior detective.

New York, NY —
The Fertel Foundation and The Nation Institute today announced the recipient of the 2013 Ridenhour Documentary Film Prize, which is presented to a documentary for illuminating an underreported subject, or raising awareness around an issue of social importance. The film prize is one of four Ridenhour prizes, which recognize acts of truth-telling that protect the public interest, promote social justice, or illuminate a more just vision of society.
The Ridenhour Prizes are the only DC-based awards that celebrate courage in American life and commemorate the spirit of fearless truth-telling that whistleblower and investigative journalist Ron Ridenhour reflected throughout his life and career. Each winner receives $10,000, and is honored at a luncheon ceremony at the National Press Club. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the prizes. "For almost a decade, these awards have made Ron Ridenhour's legacy of courage and fidelity to the truth a living one," said Randy Fertel, Founder of the Fertel Foundation, which co-sponsors the prizes.
The prize recipient for the 2013 Ridenhour Documentary Film Prize is:
The Invisible War: In this groundbreaking investigative documentary, award-winning filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering shine a light on the troubling epidemic of rape in the military while speaking with survivors who have refused to be intimidated into silence. The numbers are staggering: In 2009 alone, 16,150 service members were sexually assaulted. Female soldiers in the US military are more likely to be raped by a male soldier than shot by an enemy combatant. Through the poignant stories of the rape victims, The Invisible War reveals the systemic cover up of the crimes against them and follows their struggles to rebuild their lives and fight for justice. The film also explores what is now being done to ensure that no crime goes unpunished.
"This is a movie that cannot be ignored… The documentary filmmaker Kirby Dick has become one of the indispensable muckrakers of American cinema." —A.O. Scott, The New York Times
"We are very honored and grateful to receive this prize that commemorates the legacy of Ron Ridenhour, who championed the importance of fearless and rigorous investigative journalism," said the filmmakers Ziering and Dick. "This award will bring much needed attention to the issue of sexual assault within our armed forces, and encourage our military to institute the structural changes it has yet to make to protect the men and women who are protecting us."
Ridenhour judge Anne Carey said, "Rarely has a documentary film more completely embodied the spirit of the award which is designed to recognize acts of truth-telling that protect the public interest and promote social justice. With The Invisible War, filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering continue the work that whistleblower and investigative journalist Ron Ridenhour practiced throughout his extraordinary life and career."
Interviews are available with the winner, and the co-sponsors of the awards. Past winners and more information is at www.ridenhour.org, and at www.twitter.com/nationinstitute, using #ridenhour.
About The Ridenhour Prizes
The Ridenhour Prizes recognize and encourage those who persevere in acts of truth-telling that protect the public interest, promote social justice or illuminate a more just vision of society. The prizes are named after investigative journalist Ron Ridenhour, to commemorate his lifetime of fearless truth-telling and to inspire others to do the same.
In 1969, Vietnam veteran Ron Ridenhour wrote a letter to Congress and the Pentagon describing the horrific events at My Lai — the infamous massacre of the Vietnam War. Although the upper echelons of the military establishment resisted his revelations, his dogged persistence eventually brought the scandal to the attention of the American public and the world at large.
Ridenhour later became a respected investigative journalist, winning the George Polk Award for Investigative Journalism in 1987 for a yearlong investigation of a New Orleans tax scandal. He died suddenly in 1998 at the age of 52. At the time of his death, he was working on an article for the London Review of Books, had co-produced a story on state militias for NBC's Dateline, and had just delivered a series of lectures commemorating the 30th anniversary of My Lai. The Ridenhour Prizes were established by The Nation Institute and The Fertel Foundation in partnership with The Fund for Constitutional Government, Government Accountability Project, and The Project on Government Oversight. For more information visit www.ridenhour.org.

Power amp harmonics ?
Ok, I am trying to understand what I am hearing, and how to replicate it, adjust it, enhance it, play with it etc. When I crank up a large tube guitar amp i.e Marshall, Fender etc, something is happening in the power amp side that I love the sound of but cannot seem to achive by any other method. Is it rectifier sag? Is there some weird electromagnetic interaction between the transformer and the tubes? Does anyone one know what I am talking about? It is a large dark sound, very smooth but not the creamy heavy compressed sound of cranked pre-amp tubes. It just has a body and depth and a rich thick spanky kinda quality. No it is not speaker cone break up, that I understand ! Those lil amps that use pre-amp tubes don't have it, EL84's seem unable to produce it. 5881's seem prone to it as do some 6550's. Is it the large beam in some tubes? Anyway what I want to know is.....How do I get it at low volumes? No I dont want to use a power soak or thd hot plate or even a marshall power brake, cause all of them seem to reduce this strange thing I hear and love so much ! Can't I just build something that would be rich in that sound? What is "that" sound ?
Anyone ?

I think you'll need to provide more info- is the amp Class A or AB? What power valves? (They all sound different when overdriven). EL84's will do it, they simple have a different quality of distortion to the octals.
The phenomenon of power valve distortion versus the fuzzy pre-valve distortion is discussed all over the web- even a cursory Google should turn up lots of info. Here's what wikipedia offers for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_sound

wow you have good hearing, must be the clear Dakota air. Interesting you find 'that sound' from 5881 and 6550 and not EL84. Perhaps because the former has higher plate resistance so forms a more ideal filter together with the output tranny? Or do higher impedance types compress in a manner to make the transition from clean to crunch better sounding? Or is it the higher power that makes the acoustics in the air compress in a manner to make 'that sound'. Perhaps a power soak doesn't do it for you because the sound waves need a certain energy to make that feeling?
Anyways, I'm sure there are tons of theories, but most amps that have 'that sound' simply have them by chance. I dont think they were designed to have 'that sound' but just have a lucky combination to make it. If I knew I'd be making them....
Then there's the fact that some guitarist prefer one sound over the other and perhaps dont hear 'that sound' in the same amps you do, and some again simply dont care, they just play...

Well thanks for the input but.......so far I'm still lost (but makin real good time) ! Let me try this. I have not as yet heard "that sound" from many amps. So the idea that it just sorta happens is a possibility. But..... My SovteK mig 60 does it, as do a couple of my Marshalls, my 100watt superlead (a 1972 )I think? But my marshall EL84 20/20 does not, but my Marshall 9005 50/50 only kinda does it, and it really seems not to matter much if it is on full or 1/2 power setting. I got some "darker" EL84 from the tubedepot and set biasing "just so" according to their suggestion and it did make my 20/20 a lil darker but........"that sound" still isnt there at all. I certainly understand the subjective nature of this, but my buddy's fender twin will do it (a blackface) if it is turned up all the way with both channels patched together (I run the SLP with the inputs patched) I had a univox that did it, and a way old relic heathkit from way back that did it, (it was a unit for mono hi-fi and I wish I still had it) and have heard it in some other units too. It's driving me crazy! I have been searching and searching the web, listening to amps all over for years and still do not know WHAT "that sound" is ! That is my major issue these days (and I have more issues than a magazine rack) so I am still seeking the answer to this epic quest what causes "that sound" ? Any other thoughts, ideas, leads, websites, builders, experiences ?

I would second the notion that it has to do with the the speakers just compressing a massive amount of air. Maybe your ears distorting too. My Fender Twin does what you describe - at least to my ears. The closest I can get at lower power is my SF Princeton (pp 6v6) which packs a JBL E110. The magnet is about the size of my head. It is still pretty loud, and probably still much louder than what you are looking for.
If you record that sound, is it preserved on the recording? Freddy King lugged Twins and Quads to get his sound, but I know a guy who can nail the CD sound on a Champ. When he plays it in person on a Twin, it is like something you have never heard before.
Sometimes it just doesn't scale down. The ax84 project has been working on that for years. Kinda sorta successful. The closest I came is with a borrowed P1 into the speakers on my Twin. Close, but no cigar, and still pretty loud.
Will a tele into a dimed Twin, you really are not getting much distortion from the circuit per-se. A Bassman is a basic Fender circuit with a transformer designed to give you another octave or so lower. A Marshall was just a Bassman with EL34s. They are all very similar. Designed to my eyes as PAs.
And remember that your guitar is interacting with the amp output too. Without volume, that goes away.

Hi Dakotadave,
I'd bet you'll get many opinions on this. Most agree that three things happen-
(a) The Power Supply Sags
(b) The Tubes themselves distort (how depends how they've been wired)
(c) Transformer Saturation
(d) The tubes have a high output impedence, which leads to a high damping factor (in most of these guitar amps anyway)
(e) The speaker cone itself breaking up
If you're talking about the spanky tone, I would suggest that the transformer saturates (or comes close) for the initial attack, and releases its energy gradually, prolonging the note's tone.
Transformer cores saturate more quickly with lower frequency, which would explain some of the fatness lent to the note.
I think in reality all of the factors are what creates the sound. A guitar amp's output is an extremely complicated non-linear system. Just look at all the well researched, unsuccessful attempts by commercial companies to get the sound without using the real deal.
Most don't sound even similar, some sound close, but none do the job as well- which is why we still use the same stuff these days

Alrighty then, how do I "play" with transformer saturation levels? Can anyone tell me how to build something that will allow me to adust the above mentioned variables on some sort of test unit ? I will buy a variac or build an adjustable tube rectifier (with some of you good peoples help of course!) How do I twist all three of these at the same time to discover the magic ?
1) Power supply sag -Ok maybe I will just buy a variac
2) Transformer saturation-clueless here <----
3) Power tube distortion -perhaps just overdrive the input ?
Sounds like a great project huh? Oh and although some have resonable sound and all---- NONE of those lil pre-amp tube for power amps have ever made "that sound" in my world!
I am getting more and more inclined to think it is a tranny thing? Combined with the sag in the power supply ? Ill order the variac just as soon as someone can tell me how to adjust tranny saturation levels ? Yes ? No ? Get a life Dave ? Oh and yes it can be recorded, and from my super low tech listening experiments "that sound" can be enhanced or softened with speakers but........it is not produced by the speakers themselves
that much I do know and understand !

Get a life Dave!
Got to PA a gig for my daughters band next week (20th May), will be using a Behringer BX1200 (120W transistor bass combo), a Fender KXR-60 60W transistor keyboard combo (fed via a DI box from a guitar), and a Behringer 400W+400W mixer/amp - not a valve in sight, and don't want any!.

Get Thee Behind Me Satan ! NO TUBES !
Hey I do pa hire, have a recording studio, and do a ton of installs, churches mostly, and my studio is the only place tubes can share their happy glowing warmth these days !

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the fact that the power section has negative feedback wrapped around it. That MUST affect the overdriven sound as that's when the NFB is failing to do its 'intended' job. When clipping it adds a slew of harmonics instead of reducing them.
The other (obvious) thing is the choice of tube. I'll agree that the 6V6 does what you talk about well, maybe the best of all, assuming I know what it is you're hearing. If you want to get it at low levels you might look for a small beam tube in the 6x6 family. The 6F6 is actually a really nice tube, though not a whole lot less power than a 6V6. With 300V on plate & screen it'll put out about 5W. There are also a bunch of small signal beamers and pentodes, probably way to many to choose from!
A variac is an absolute necessity when experimenting, but it won't do a thing to contribute to so-called sag. For that you need a loose supply; in my experience too much capacitance in a guitar amp kills the tone. 20uF on plate and 10 or 15 on the screen and earlier stages is a good place to start. You can try adding more to taste.
When playing with the variac, don't be surprised if higher voltage gives you a brown sound you're looking for. It's counter intuitive....
As for transformer saturation, I think most people grossly over estimate its influence. The flux level in the core is inversely proportional to frequency. In other words the OT is sized for the output power and the lowest frequency that needs to be amplified. (Low E on a guitar is about 80Hz; 4x the 20Hz that most hi-fi amps are designed for. That's the real reason guitar amps have smaller output transformer, not because the (vintage) manufacturers were cheapskates or designing for distortion.) Anyway, you might get some saturation when playing power cords way down low, but when playing leads higher up you're NOT going to be working the core hard.
Having said that, I do believe that the OT has a lot to do with the overall sound, but not because it's saturating. Unfortunately, that power amp sound you're looking for might require some iron even if you're not trying to drive a speaker.
Good luck. Your quest is an old one that has been attempted by many, many people before you. But that doesn't mean you can't find success. Worst case you'll learn a ton.
-- Dave

TNRTB Archive - Retained for reference information
A radio search for supernova remnants (SNRs) answers a common objection from those who argue for a young (six- to ten-thousand-year-old) cosmos. The number of currently known Galactic SNRs falls far below the number predicted for a 12-billion-year-old Milky Way Galaxy. Young-earth creationists use this discrepancy to contend that the Galaxy cannot be billions of years old, but instead is a few thousand years old. However, astronomers expect these SNRs to be difficult to detect based on size and brightness biases and source confusion in previous surveys. Recently, a sensitive, high-resolution radio survey of the Galactic plane revealed 35 new SNRs, more than tripling the number known in this part of the Galaxy. This result strongly suggests that similar surveys in the future will completely resolve the discrepancy between predictions and observations. Consequently, the young-earth objection no longer stands and RTB's cosmic creation model receives new affirmation.

Spice-Rubbed Turkey Breast with Sweet Potatoes
Pair this with Sauteed Escarole for a great light family dinner. Make the most of your leftovers and use the leftover cooked turkey for our Turkey with Two Salads or Chunky Turkey Vegetable Soup.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, January/February 2007
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried, crushed rosemary
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
- 6 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 boneless turkey breast halves (about 2 pounds each), skin removed
- 2 sweet potatoes (about 8 ounces each), halved lengthwise
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, mix rosemary, paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, lime juice, and 4 teaspoons oil; rub all over turkey. Leaving space between them, place both halves in the center of a large rimmed baking sheet.
Brush cut sides of sweet potatoes with remaining 2 teaspoons oil; place, cut side down, on sheet with turkey. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of each breast half registers 160 degrees, about 50 minutes (potatoes should be tender). Let stand 10 minutes, loosely tented with aluminum foil to keep warm (temperature will rise by 5 degrees).
Cut one breast half into thick slices (reserve remaining turkey; see step 4). Cut potato halves into wedges. Transfer turkey slices and potatoes to a serving platter, drizzling turkey with any juices from baking sheet. (Optional: Serve with Sauteed Escarole.)
Cool remaining turkey completely. Divide leftovers evenly between 2 airtight containers, or wrap in plastic, and refrigerate.

NFL Barometer
By Dalton Del Don
RotoWire Writer
Terrell Owens � You don�t need us to tell you Owens is having a terrific fantasy season, but it�s worth reiterating just how good he�s been lately. Owens has 31 catches for 575 yards and eight touchdowns in his last four games. His 17.7 yards per catch is a career-best, and he�s on pace for 1,645 yards and 19 touchdowns, which would obliterate his previous career highs. He�s having the best season of his career at age 33.
Randy Moss � The NFL record for most receiving touchdowns in a season is 22. Moss is on pace to haul in 26 scores this year. Through 10 weeks Moss already has more receiving yards than he�s had in any season since 2003. New England has a good defense, but the offense only runs the ball in jest and seemingly never lets up even in blowouts, a recipe for continued success from Moss. He�s easily a Top-5 fantasy player.
Willis McGahee � Largely a disappointment since coming out of college, McGahee is in the midst of his best season as a pro, despite playing behind a woeful passing offense. He�s already set career highs in receptions (31), receiving yards (199) and YPC (4.3). After failing to get a rushing touchdown in any of the season�s first five games, he�s now hit paydirt in five consecutive contests, making him one of the most reliable fantasy backs in a league filled with running back by committees.
Chester Taylor � The Raiders� leaky run defense can make any back look good, but Taylor destroyed it for 202 total yards and three scores Sunday. While the world was clamoring for Adrian Peterson to get more playing time � and rightfully so � Taylor was quietly having a fine season himself. Running behind one of the better offensive lines in football, Taylor averages a remarkable 5.6 YPC this season and will be a more-than-adequate fantasy starter as long as Peterson is shelved with his knee injury.
Maurice Morris � Seattle has successfully shifted its offensive philosophy to pass-heavy, but Morris ran well Sunday, averaging 4.8 YPC while again replacing Shaun Alexander in the starting lineup. Alexander has been ineffective even when healthy this season, and now he�s dealing with wrist, ankle and knee issues, so there�s no guarantee he�ll be back anytime soon.
Ron Dayne � Dayne�s running style can most aptly be described as plodding, but that doesn�t mean he can�t have fantasy value. Ahman Green�s knee injury figures to limit him the rest of the season, and Adimchinobi Echemandu fumbled on his only carry Sunday, so Dayne might be the featured back for the season�s final six games. In the last two weeks, Dayne has totaled 237 yards and a touchdown. With defenses forced to focus on a finally healthy Matt Schaub-Andre Johnson deadly combo, Dayne could find running room.
Kenny Watson � When it comes to veteran running backs, coaches are often loyal to a fault, but Cincinnati�s changing of the guard at running back is becoming unavoidable. Never an explosive runner to begin with, Rudi Johnson is getting a microscopic 2.6 YPC with zero rushing touchdowns this season. Watson nearly doubled his touches Sunday (17 to 9) and is by far the superior pass catcher. In fantasy leagues, Watson is the more valuable commodity.
Matt Schaub � Sent to many waiver wires after a couple of poor games and injured, Schaub could be a fantasy force down the stretch. Healthy after a bye week gave him sufficient time to heal, Schaub�s peripherals reveal a much better quarterback than his current 7:7 TD:INT ratio indicates. He�s completed 67.3 percent of his passes and gotten a remarkable 7.9 YPA in 2007. Expect the touchdowns to start coming in bunches, especially with a healthy Andre Johnson back as a target.
Andre Johnson � Forced into a possession-receiver role last season thanks to David Carrr's dreadful quarterbacking, Johnson looks like one of the NFL�s best wide receivers this season. In three games played, he�s gained at least 120 receiving yards in each, while hauling in four scores. While he might not truly be 100 percent until next year, Johnson, who missed seven games, should be treated like a Top-5 fantasy wide receiver.
Reuben Droughns � The severity of Brandon Jacobs� injured hamstring is unknown at press time, but Droughns needs to be owned in all fantasy leagues to be safe. He�s not an exciting option, averaging just 3.4 YPC this year, but the Giants run block well and have a solid offense overall. Droughns has been getting goal-line work regardless of Jacobs� health and would be fantasy worthy if the starter were forced to miss time with the ailment.
Cedric Benson � Don�t let Sunday�s 11-carry, 89-yard performance fool you; Benson has been one of the worst running backs in the NFL this season. After he took the first carry of the game for a 43-yard touchdown, Benson continued to look pedestrian like he has all year and lost more touches to Adrian Peterson over the course of the game. His 3.3 YPC is the worst mark of any starting running back in the league, and despite leaving the field in nearly all third down situations, Benson entered Sunday with more drops than any other ballcarrier in the NFL. If you can get anything of value in a trade following Sunday�s best performance of the year, it�s strongly suggested you do so.
Jerricho Cotchery � Cotchery had an extremely disappointing outing Sunday, recording just one catch for five yards despite playing most of the game without Laveranues Coles (leg). However, he was targeted seven times, and the Steelers secondary has allowed an NFL-best 5.5 YPA this year, so the matchup was difficult. With strong-armed Kellen Clemens now under center, and Coles likely to miss Thursday�s game, Cotchery should be in store for a nice stretch of upcoming games as the schedule eases up.
Drew Carter � Against a stout Packers defense, Carter caught five balls for 132 yards and a score Sunday. While it was a nice performance, we wouldn�t fall over ourselves rushing to pick him up off the waiver wire. Steve Smith was sidelined with a shin injury, but he�s as tough as they come, so he�s likely to return to action shortly, and Carolina�s aerial attack is normally anemic. This had all the makings of a one-week wonder.
Frank Gore � Gore�s gimpy ankle is partially to blame, but the 49ers� horrific offense has been the main cause for the third-year back becoming one of the biggest fantasy busts this year. The Rams run defense is actually pretty good, but Sunday�s 2.1 YPC effort while playing at home marked a new low for Gore, and San Francisco�s horrendous quarterback play doesn�t figure to improve anytime soon. His increased activity in the passing game was a plus, and Gore is explosive enough to make big plays on his own, but he�s going to end up as a major fantasy disappointments this season.
Donovan McNabb � It seems like an annual theme � McNabb succumbing to injury right about this point of the season. While this year�s injury doesn�t appear to be as serious as previous ones, McNabb has failed to live up to expectations even when healthy. Before going down Sunday, he had 3.1 YPA with a 0:2 TD:INT ratio, generating a 0.4 QB rating. He again showed an improved ability to run, so just when he seemed to be turning the corner regarding his knee, McNabb is now dealing with an ankle injury. He�s thrown for multiple touchdowns in just two of 10 games this season, and his best days are in the rearview mirror.
Chad Johnson � Sure, he�s on pace for 1,500 receiving yards, but he's also on pace for fewer than five touchdowns. T.J. Houshmandzadeh was already a superior red-zone option, and now Chris Henry appears to be as well. Johnson is an explosive playmaker down the field, but without the easy scores, he�s not a truly elite fantasy option. He also really struggles with consistency regarding his hands.
Willie Parker � In a league littered with timeshares at running back, Parker has hardly been a bust, especially with his yardage total on pace to top 1,650. Still, he�s really struggled away from home this season and has only two touchdowns this season. Teammate Najeh Davenport has three. While Parker hasn�t lost all goal-line duties, his fantasy owners sure would like to see him visit the end zone more often.
Laurence Maroney � Is it possible for a running back to suffer from his team having too good of a passing attack? Whether it�s injuries or sitting out during blowouts to protect from injury, Maroney simply hasn�t been used as a true workhorse this season. It�s too bad, since he plays for a record-setting offense and averages a solid 4.6 YPC. With his limited work likely to continue, Maroney�s disappointing numbers (one TD, two catches this season) aren�t likely to skyrocket.
DeAngelo Williams � Fantasy owners still holding their breath waiting for Williams to break out can go ahead and exhale, because it�s not going to happen anytime soon. DeShaun Foster has stayed healthy and performed adequately, but more important, Williams has failed to impress. He hasn�t averaged even 4.0 YPC in a game since Week 6 and struggles mightily in short-yardage situations. Additionally, playing for a Panthers offense that�s been brutal since Jake Delhomme went down, Williams� upside is quite limited, even if given a heavier workload.
Priest Holmes � Holmes is obviously more fantasy relevant today than he was three weeks ago, but the 34-year-old�s ceiling is quite low. Since he�s better in pass protection, Holmes should continue to see more work than rookie Kolby Smith, but he�s seriously prone to injury at his age and no longer possesses explosiveness. He�s getting 3.0 YPC and shouldn�t be relied upon in fantasy leagues despite the No. 1 RB status.
Reggie Brown � It�s one step forward and one step back for Brown this season. After posting at least 55 receiving yards in three consecutive games, Brown was held to two catches for just 18 yards Sunday. It�s now evident Brown�s impressive 2006 campaign was more a product of the Eagles� successful passing attack than a sign of true talent, so when Philadelphia�s offense struggles, Brown sinks with it. Extremely inconsistent, Brown should be avoided in fantasy leagues if at all possible.
Mark Clayton � Clayton followed up an eight-catch, 107-yard performance during Week 10 with a two-catch, nine-yard dud Sunday. The switch to Kyle Boller at quarterback did little to help a massively disappointing season, and the fact Sunday�s stinker came against a terrible Browns secondary makes it that much harder to swallow.
Darrell Jackson � For the season, Jackson has 23 receptions on 61 targets, giving him a 38 percent conversion rate � easily the worst in the NFL. Poor quarterback play is partially to blame, but Jackson�s hands are seemingly all thumbs, as his troubles with drops continue. Sunday saw him make a backbreaking drop that would have tied the game late in the fourth quarter, a microcosm of Jackson�s horrendous first season in San Francisco.

A 3-year-old child remained hospitalized in Wichita this morning after being struck by an SUV in Ark City Monday evening.
Around 5:30 p.m., officers were called to the 1100 block of N. First in response to the accident. Prior to police arriving, the child had been transported to a local hospital in a privately-owned vehicle.
The child sustained head and leg injuries and was transported to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita. An investigation into the accident is continuing.
Police investigators determined the child had apparently stepped into the traffic way while the vehicle was passing and was struck. The driver, Mryna Torres, Ark City, cooperated fully with police.
She was cited for having an expired drivers license and no proof of insurance.
The child was placed in the pediatric ICU at Wesley and has remained there since arrival. The injuries reported by hospital staff include a fractured right leg, complex injuries to the right foot, and major dental damage.
Hospital officials said the child was scheduled for surgery this morning in Wichita.
The name of the child is being withheld at this time.

Barclays suffered another body blow today as it was fined £26 million for allowing a trader to rig the daily gold fix, even as it was reeling from a massive fine for the Libor scandal.
A former senior trader at the bank was also fined and banned from working in the City.
The news came as Barclays continues to face huge criticism over huge bonuses paid to its investment bankers despite falling profits.
The Financial Conduct Authority described Barclays' failures as "extremely disappointing".
It pointed out that the gold rigging occurred the day after Barclays had been fined £59.5 million by the FCA for its role in the Libor-fixing scandal.
The watchdog said that the bank's own investigation into Libor should have highlighted its lack of controls in other price-setting mechanisms including gold.
Daniel Plunkett, a senior trader and director on Barclays' precious metals desk, lied to the bank when it started an internal investigation following complaints from a client. He then continued to lie to the FCA.
Tracy McDermott, the FCA's director of enforcement, said: "Traders who might be tempted to exploit their clients for a quick buck should be in no doubt — such behaviour will cost you your reputation and your livelihood."
Antony Jenkins, Barclays chief executive, pictured, said: "We very much regret the situation that led to this settlement. Barclays has undertaken a significant amount of work to enhance our systems and controls and is committed to the highest standards across all our operations."
The FCA's investigation found that "Client A" had taken a massive, $43 million (£25.5 million) one-way bet on the gold price which only made it money if the fix at 3pm on June 28, 2012 was above $1,558.96.
The client paid $4.4 million for the bet, part of which went onto Plunkett's trading book, but stood to make a profit of $3.9 million if the target price was hit.
Plunkett told his trading desk by email the day before that he was coming up to his "main event" and was hoping for a "mini-puke to 1558 for the fixing". Mini-puke means a small price drop in the City.
Plunkett then placed a number of orders during the June 28 fixing which increased the likelihood of the fix coming in below $1558. That meant Barclays did not have to pay the client $3.9 million and Plunkett booked a $1.75 million profit to his book. Although he did not profit directly from the deal it would, if undiscovered, have had a huge effect on his bonus for that year.
Client A complained to Barclays almost immediately after the afternoon fix was announced and the bank launched an internal investigation into Plunkett's actions. It repaid the client the $3.9 million in full.Reuse content

Within days after the conclusion of the Annapolis conference which supposedly was to clear the way for peace between Israel and Palestinian leaders, a key official of Fatah, which President Abbas controls, announced Fatah would back Hamas, its enemy, if Israel troops invade the Gaza strip. "Fatah won't remain idle in the face of an Israel invasion of the Gaza Strip. We will definitely fight together with Hamas against the Israel army. It's our duty to defend the people against the occupiers." This statement apparently indicates a willingness on the part of Fatah and Hamas to set aside differences in case Israel attacks any portion of the Palestinian Authority. There are reports several Arab nations are trying to mediate issues between Hamas and Fatah. Egypt and Saudi Arabia have made clear to President Abbas that peace cannot proceed until he reaches some sort of compromise with Hamas. The leaders of Hamas are charging the Annapolis conference was a cover up to allow Israel to launch an attack on Gaza.
It is amazing that nothing was done or said or agreed upon at Annapolis between Prime Minister Olmert and President Abbas concerning any planned Israel operations in Gaza. This is definitely not the time for Israel to initiate any violent action against Hamas regardless of the provocation. There is no question Hamas is allowing rocket attacks on Israel, but the Olmert government has too much at stake to allow their anger and frustration to get in the way of proceeding on the road to peace. Invade Gaza and that ends any hope for peace for years. The most important focus of Israel should be upon how it can assist moderate Arab leaders in negotiating with Hamas so there can be a unified Palestinian group with whom to negotiate.

Review South Carolina State University
My experience at South Carolina State University is different in many ways. From graduating from a prominently white high school, surrounding myself of people of the same race makes the environment much different. From the music, the way people dress and also the different slang that is used through friendly chatter. Another element of this experience is the professors from never having a African American or foreign teacher classroom settings in some cases are different from back home. Classes are more intractable and sociable with there also being order in the classroom from the professor making the classroom setting much enjoyable.
My experience at South Carolina State University has been a little more than expected. When I was a senior in High School, I honestly didn't have my eyes on South Carolina State until the second semester. I thought I made my college choice well before graduation creeped up on me and South Carolina State was really my last choice. However, after experiencing my first semester at South Carolina State, I can honestly say that if I had to make a choice while having the prior knowledge about SC State this would have been my first choice. Since day one, the people I encountered has made my transition to college from high school a whole lot easy. I've been guided from the students, the administration, and all the way to my professors in the right path. The people at this institution proves that the youth of this generation will do great things.
I love my University. It's family-oriented and holds people to a higher standard. Sometimes, I feel like they just let anyone in, but after these people are grilled by a professor they take a shining to, they either barely make it through, make room for someone else to take their place, or pull through strong come their junior year. There are support systems here. Our office of financial aid can use some serious help, though. I understand that catering to freshmen is important, but in doing so, they disrespect and neglect their upperclassmen, often leaving us out to dry. They also don't mention certain funds/scholarships that should be readily available to the student that needs just a little extra help. The food is... Okay. I just wish they would stop raising tuition just to give us the same stuff they've been giving us without improvement.

Too big for the Grip-n-Gulp? Too small for the OTF? Try the Nalgene Kid's OTF "On The Fly" Water Bottle on for size. Nalgene takes the 12 oz bottle and pairs it with the leak proof On the Fly Cap. They also made the silicone stopper a little softer so it would be easier for the little peeps to push closed.
