I'm only doing a few of the notable free agents found on the FF homepage.
I'm not digging deep for depth or less notable starters.

I like the Nix pick.
Rather see the Steelers resign Wallace than Mendenhall though.
I think the team has a pretty good relationship with Mendenhall. They've stood by him and I think they bring him back with a one or two year contract.
I think you'll like who the Steelers pick in the 2nd.

Not a huge fan of much for the Bills other than resigning Byrd and Levitre. I dont mind adding Mike Wallace, but I just dont see the front office dipping that much money into another WR when they just paid Stevie plus we dont have a deep ball QB. Also this draft is loaded in the first three roads with impact guys so would much rather spend that money on the defense in free agency. Second if the draft fell like this I would look to trade back, not a fan of Mingo to the Bills. He is much better suited for the 3-4 which we no longer run. I also am not a fan at all of EJ Manuel. I am a big FSU fan and he is just to inconsistent to produce on the next level at this point. If he couldnt do it night in and night out in the ACC what makes you think he will do it in the NFL. His stock has dropped big time in my books.

32) Atlanta Falcons select Tyrann Mathieu, DB, Louisiana State
I like the effort you put in doing Free Agency, but 0% chance Honey Badger goes in the 1st. Zero.
Even more so to the one team that has probably the hardest policy in drafting players with character issues. Their hasn't been one player that i can think of that Dimitroff has drafted with problems since he has been here. He preaches about it all the time and has backed it up since day 1.
I am not a big fan of it as i think we miss out on some talented players because of it but the man does what he does.
Then even more so we draft the 1 position we really don't need in CB as we are pretty stacked there with Robinson, Sameuls, McClain(This dudes awesome), Owens, and Franks since we didn't get Grimes back i left him off.
We have MUCH MUCH bigger needs than a CB that won't start for us in the next 2 or so years. Thats a position that can be waited on that doesn't need an upgrade right now.
Look for a DE, DT, OL, RB, or as much as i hate it TE. Rather have TE later in the draft though.
Also i def. don't like losing 2 key FA's and you not having us take even 1 FA at all.
With as many positions we have a need for we gotta get 1 key FA.
Fair enough.
I wanted to have at least one "splash" pick in the first round and I thought Mathieu would add intrigue to the mock.
I really think Eifert would go there in the scenario I've come up with.
Lord i hope not but it is a possiblity. To much DL talent in the 1st round at DE and DT for me to take a TE that is a 2nd rounder in most drafts.

Really? You took away our only good FA signing. You had us signing DRC but now the Bucs instead? The Colts have the most cap this offseason of any team and the only thing we do is resign Dwight Freeney (which won't happen at all)???!!
And the draft, a NT? Ugh... This would be bad, bad, bad.

Was only saying that I doubt we lose any of our top FAs, not complaining that we didn't sign anybody else. Mike Brown has been saving up for this offseason with all the free agents and soon-to-be FAs set to be paid.

By John Boyle Herald Columnist
SEATTLE — As DeMarcus Beasley hopped onto Eddie Johnson's back to celebrate another U.S. goal, as CenturyLink Field shook for the second time on this storybook evening for soccer in the Northwest, it became abundantly clear that this night couldn't have gone any better.
Not for the U.S. national team, which with a 2-0 win over Panama put itself another step closer to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, not for the Seattle Sounders who had two players — Johnson and Brad Evans — in the starting lineup, and especially not for soccer fans in the region, who more than lived up their reputation as being the loudest and most passionate in the country.
"Obviously, you can't talk about the game tonight without talking about the crowd," midfielder Michael Bradley said. "Unbelievable. The best crowd I've played in in the United States without a doubt. So from all the players, a big thank you to everybody who was here, to everybody in this city who makes this a special night for us, because people don't know what a difference it makes when you play in an atmosphere like this."
So if you were one of the 40,847 in attendance Tuesday, pat yourself on the back. Or if you're a Sounders fan who has helped Seattle gain the reputation that more or less forced U.S. Soccer into bringing a World Cup qualifier here, well done. And if you're part of the decision-making process for U.S. Soccer, you know after Tuesday night that, temporary field or not, remote location or not, Seattle has to be a regular stop for big games moving forward. This was the first World Cup qualifier played in Seattle since 1976. Something tells me the wait won't be quite as long for the next one.
"Everybody is so impressed," Evans said when asked what his teammates thought of Seattle's fans. "It's really gratifying for them to be outspoken about it, to say, 'You guys have something special here.' Why it took so long to get one here, it is what it is, but now that it's here, you'd better believe there will be more to come in the future. … The crowd was absolutely insane tonight, the guys had nothing but positive things to say about it."
Of course a big crowd — Tuesday's was the seventh-largest for a U.S. home qualifier in history — wouldn't have been nearly as electric if the team hadn't matched their intensity, and the U.S. was more than up to the task. From forward Jozy Altidore, who scored his third goal in as many games, to Bradley, who sparked several dangerous counterattacks, to Johnson and Geoff Cameron, two new additions to the starting lineup, the U.S. looked very much like a team rounding into form under coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
"Obviously we were very pleased with that performance," Klinsmann said. "I thought throughout the entire game we were in control of it. Every area on the field the guys did their job."
And if the night wasn't good enough when Altidore put the U.S. ahead in the first half, it certainly hit its peak in the 53rd minute when Cameron played a perfect ball through to Johnson, who calmly controlled the ball with one touch then finished with the next, much to the delight of the home crowd.
"I'm just so happy for him," Evans said of Johnson. "He put in the work tonight offensively and defensively, he helped me out so much. … I thought that Eddie and myself did well, and for him to turn it on in the second half and still have that energy and that pace and that endurance to get in behind and score that goal was something special, and to do it in front of your home crowd, he'll remember that one forever."
Indeed, Johnson called scoring a goal for his country in a big game in front of a home crowd a "Dream come true." Until last year, it seemed Johnson's time with the national team was well behind him — once a U.S. team regular, he hadn't been called in for duty since 2010 — but going back to last fall, he has revived his national team career and now has a real shot at representing his country in Brazil next summer. That the latest chapter of a career revival that began in Seattle with the Sounders was written in Seattle with his national team is just one of many things that made Tuesday night so memorable.
"To play in the U.S. jersey first of all is an honor," Johnson said. "To play in front of the fans that I play in front of week in and week out, I couldn't ask for a better feeling after the goal tonight."
Johnson's goal, the fact that two Sounders were in the USA's starting eleven, a strong performance by the home team, and another amazing performance by the crowd, it all added up to a unique and memorable night that, if U.S. Soccer was paying any attention at all, will be repeated in the not-too-distant future.
"Amazing crowd," Klinsmann said. "It was just a wonderful atmosphere. The players enjoyed it tremendously. We all did."

BC Swept at Carson-NewmanFebruary 8, 2014
BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College baseball team (1-3, 0-3 South Atlantic Conference) was swept by the Carson-Newman Eagles (6-1, 3-0 SAC) in a doubleheader at the Silver Diamond Baseball Complex on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles won the first game 5-1 before a walk-off two-run homer lifted C-N to a 5-4 victory in game two.
The Eagles clinched the series sweep after taking the opener 4-3 on Friday afternoon with a walk-off single in the bottom of the 9th.
Game 1: Carson-Newman 5, Brevard 1
Carson-Newman took a 2-0 lead against BC starter James Phillips (L, 0-1), who allowed four earned runs over six innings on the mound. The lefty yielded eight hits and three walks while striking out six Eagles.
Kody Spencer made it a 2-1 game in the top of the 4th with a sacrifice fly that scored Brock Helton, but the Tornados couldn't get any more runs across against C-N starter Vince Apicella (W, 2-0).
The Eagles added three more in the bottom of the 7th on a two-run double by Bo Ausmus, who later scored on a BC throwing error.
Game 2: Carson-Newman 4, Brevard 3 (8 innings)
Carson-Newman's Joe Tipton hit a two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the 8th inning off BC reliever Bennett Hixson (L, 0-1) to give the Eagles the three-game series sweep.
Hixson got two quick outs in the 8th before issuing a walk and then allowing the Tipton homer. The Tornados had scored the go-ahead run in the top of the 8th on a wild pitch.
BC took a 2-1 lead in the top of the 5th when Hixson scored on a passed ball. Carson-Newman quickly answered with a run in the bottom of the 6th on a Tipton RBI single.
Aaron Goforth doubled down the right field line to leadoff the game, and scored on a Fisher RBI groundout after advancing to 3rd on a wild pitch.
The Eagles answered with a run in the home half of the bottom of the 1st to make it a 1-1 ballgame. BC starter Zach Joyce limited the Eagles to just one run over the next six innings, allowing just two earned runs in seven innings of work.
The Tornados look to bounce back on Wednesday afternoon as they host Limestone College in nonconference action. First pitch from Gil Coan Field is slated for 2 p.m.

A glycemic index diet is an eating plan based on how foods affect your blood sugar level.
The glycemic index is a system of assigning a number to carbohydrate-containing foods according to how much each food increases blood sugar. The glycemic index itself is not a diet plan but one of various tools — such as calorie counting or carbohydrate counting — for guiding food choices.
The term "glycemic index diet" usually refers to a specific diet plan that uses the index as the primary or only guide for meal planning. Unlike some other plans, a glycemic index diet doesn't necessarily specify portion sizes or the optimal number of calories, carbohydrates, or fats for weight loss or weight maintenance.
Many popular commercial diets, diet books and diet websites are based on the glycemic index, including the Zone Diet, Sugar Busters and the Slow-Carb Diet.
The purpose of a glycemic index (GI) diet is to eat carbohydrate-containing foods that are less likely to cause large increases in blood sugar levels. The diet is a means to lose weight and prevent chronic diseases related to obesity such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
You might choose to follow the GI diet because you:
The scientific evidence supporting the role of the GI diet in weight loss is mixed. You might be able to achieve the same health benefits by eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight and getting enough exercise.
Check with your doctor or health care provider before starting any weight-loss diet, especially if you have any health conditions, including diabetes.
The GI principle was first developed as a strategy for guiding food choices for people with diabetes. An international GI database is maintained by Sydney University Glycemic Index Research Services in Sydney, Australia. The database contains the results of studies conducted there and at other research facilities around the world.
A basic overview of carbohydrates, blood sugar and GI values is helpful for understanding glycemic index diets.
Carbohydrates, or carbs, are a type of nutrient in foods. The three basic forms are sugars, starches and fiber. When you eat or drink something with carbs, your body breaks down the sugars and starches into a type of sugar called glucose, the main source of energy for cells in your body. Fiber passes through your body undigested.
Two main hormones from your pancreas help regulate glucose in your bloodstream. The hormone insulin moves glucose from your blood into your cells. The hormone glucagon helps release glucose stored in your liver when your blood sugar (blood glucose) level is low. This process helps keep your body fueled and ensures a natural balance in blood glucose.
Different types of carbohydrates have properties that affect how quickly your body digests them and how quickly glucose enters your bloodstream.
There are various research methods for assigning a GI value to food. In general, the number is based on how much a food item raises blood glucose levels in healthy research participants compared with how much pure glucose raises their blood glucose. GI values are generally divided into three categories:
For example, raw carrots have a GI value of 35. This means that if you eat enough carrots to consume 1.8 ounces (50 grams) of digestible carbohydrates (sugars and starches), your blood glucose level after eating the carrots will be 35 percent of the blood glucose level after eating 1.8 ounces (50 grams) of pure glucose.
Comparing these values, therefore, can help guide healthier food choices. For example, an English muffin made with white wheat flour has a GI value of 77. A whole-wheat English muffin has a GI value of 45.
One limitation of GI values is that they don't reflect the likely quantity you would eat of a particular food.
For example, watermelon has a GI value of 80, which would put it in the category of food to avoid. But watermelon has relatively few digestible carbohydrates in a typical serving. In other words, you have to eat a lot of watermelon to consume the standard test level of 1.8 ounces (50 grams) of digestible carbohydrates.
To address this problem, researchers have developed the idea of glycemic load (GL), a numerical value that indicates the change in blood glucose levels when you eat a typical serving of the food. For example, a 4.2-ounce (120-gram) serving of watermelon has a GL value of 5, which would identify it as a healthy food choice. For comparison, a 2.8-ounce (80-gram) serving of raw carrots has a GL value of 2.
Sydney University's table of GI values also includes GL values. The values are generally grouped in the following manner:
A GI value tells us nothing about other nutritional information. For example, whole milk has a GI value of 31 and a GL value of 4 for a 1-cup (250-milliliter) serving. But because of its high fat content, whole milk is a poor choice for weight loss or weight control.
The published GI database is not an exhaustive list of foods, but a list of those foods that have been studied. Many healthy foods with low GI values are not in the database.
The GI value of any food item is affected by several factors, including how the food is prepared, how it is processed and what other foods are eaten at the same time.
A GI diet prescribes meals primarily of foods that have low values. Examples of foods with low, middle and high GI values include the following:
Commercial GI diets may describe foods as having slow carbs or fast carbs. In general, foods with a low GI value are digested and absorbed relatively slowly, and those with high values are absorbed quickly.
Commercial GI diets have varying recommendations for portion size, as well as protein and fat consumption.
Studies of the benefits of GI diets have produced mixed results.
In a 2013 review of 23 published clinical trials of low-GI or low-GL diets, researchers concluded that the diets were "as effective as other dietary alternatives in inducing weight loss." In four of the studies, low-GI or low-GL diets resulted in statistically significant improvements in weight loss when compared with other diets. Ten studies showed a slight improvement — but not a statistically significant improvement — in weight loss.
In another 2013 review, researchers analyzed clinical trials that compared two or more specialty diets to various dietary guidelines, including those published by the American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes. The results showed that low-carbohydrate diets and Mediterranean diets provided more weight-loss benefit than low-GI diets. (A Mediterranean diet includes olive oil, legumes, whole-grain cereals, fruit, vegetables, and modest amounts of meat and dairy products.)
A large trial published in 2010 followed 773 participants who had lost weight on a low-calorie diet. During the six months following this weight loss, people who ate a low-GI, high-protein diet were more likely to stick with their diet plan and not regain the weight they had lost.
A treatment goal for people with diabetes is to keep after-eating and average blood glucose levels as close to nondiabetic levels as possible. This tight control helps prevent or slow the development of complications associated with the disease.
Some clinical studies have shown that a low-GI diet may help people with diabetes control blood glucose levels, although the observed effects may also be attributed to low-calorie, high-fiber content of the diets prescribed in the study.
Reviews of trials measuring the impact of low-GI index diets on cholesterol have shown fairly consistent evidence that such diets may help lower total cholesterol, as well as low-density lipoproteins (the "bad" cholesterol) — especially when a low-GI diet is combined with an increase in dietary fiber.
One theory about the effect of a low-GI diet is appetite control. The thinking is that high-GI food causes a rapid increase in blood glucose, a rapid insulin response and a subsequent rapid return to feeling hungry. Low-GI foods would, in turn, delay feelings of hunger. Clinical investigations of this theory have produced mixed results.
Also, if a low-GI diet suppresses appetite, the long-term effect should be that such a diet would result over the long term in people choosing to eat less and better manage their weight. The long-term clinical research does not, however, demonstrate this effect.
In order for you to maintain your current weight, you need to burn as many calories as you consume. To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume. Weight loss is best done with a combination of reducing calories in your diet and increasing your physical activity and exercise.
Selecting foods based on a glycemic index or glycemic load value may help you manage your weight because many foods that should be included in a well-balanced, low-fat, healthy diet with minimally processed foods — whole-grain products, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products — have low GI values.
For some people, a commercial low-GI diet may provide needed direction to help them make better choices for a healthy diet plan. The researchers who maintain the GI database caution, however, that the "glycemic index should not be used in isolation" and that other nutritional factors — calories, fat, fiber, vitamins and other nutrients — should be considered.

Queasiness - will it go away?
I am on my second pregnancy. And it feels so different with my first one.
When I have my first baby, I did feel horribly dizzy at night but never nauseous enough to make me hurl.
This one, at first I didn't even realize that I'm pregnant until my husband reminded me about my menstruation schedule.
So, during the first two months I felt like I'm not pregnant at all. Not even bloating.
I start feeling dizzy and queasy on month three of pregnancy. Enough to make me vomit sometimes. Is this still a normal thing?

Hi Winda,
If you have confirmed your pregnancy and you definitely are in your second trimester, then I'd say that you're experiencing very normal morning sickness signs, even though it makes you throw up at times. Odd that you didn't have them the first trimester but if you're experiencing more stress now, or eating more sugar/simple carbs, fast food type things, and not exercising much, then your liver may be more congested.
You may want to try squeezing 1/2 of a lemon into a glass of water in the morning (try to drink purified water to take more stress off your liver) and you can even sip lemon water throughout the day if it makes you feel better. This really worked for me during one of my pregnancies. It is cleansing to the body.
Also, try to exercise every day, even if it's just getting out and taking a walk around the block. This can help the nausea to go away too.
Hope you start to feel better soon.
Warm Regards,

Dear Kate,
Yes, I do wonder about it too. But if I have to analyze, I guess it's fatigue. I haven't have a good night sleep since the baby was born. Still working out on how to make him sleep through the night without waking up for milk.
Pregnancy is fine, I think. I do a bit of walking and stretching. Drinking ginger water whenever I feel queasy. I'm scheduled for an USG on 5th of January. I hope everything's fine.
Thanks for the advice.
Merry Chrismast!!

Hi Winda,
Not getting enough rest puts stress on the body so I would encourage you to nap whenever your baby naps or at least lay down and rest for a few minutes. Just taking a few minutes to rest whenever baby naps will be helpful, and if you're afraid to lie down because you might fall asleep, that's a sign that you really need that sleep!
If your baby sleeps with you, I would encourage you to put him on the other side of your husband so that he is not right next to you. If baby wakes up, daddy can tell him that Mama needs her sleep and your husband can try to get him to go back to sleep. I would even tell him that if he isn't quiet (or doesn't stop crying) that he will have to sleep by himself in another room (and have an area in another room for him to sleep - if you don't have a cot, then you could just make a little bed for him on the floor.
I can give you more help if I know what your sleeping arrangement is. If you only have your bedroom for the three of you, then you could make a little bed of his own on the floor and try to get him to take his naps (and eventually go to bed) there. If he's close to you, he will smell your milk. If you wear a very thick sweater or if he is not next to you, then there's less of a chance that he will wake up for milk.
Another thing you can do is make sure he is getting some protein before going to bed. A scrambled egg can help his little tummy feel full longer at night.
What's most important is that you get enough quality sleep while you are pregnant.
Warm Regards,

Hi Kate,
My baby still sleeps with me. I have to admit that I like to keep him close to me
Giving him some protein sounds like a good idea. I will try that.
Thanks for the advice.
Happy New Year!!
Best Regards,

The Reds will start hitting when they get their starting 8 in the lineup at the same time.
This place use to be fun
The Reds are awfully inhumane. If he were a dog, he'd have been put down long before now.
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
At this point the Reds just have a random fan come out of the stands to take Stubbs ABs. There is no way the fan would look any worse
I know it's impossible, won't happen, Hanigan is much better behind the plate.
My theory is that Navarro is maybe the only Red who is hitting and the Reds might need to score a run here and there to win playoff games.
Molina flies out to center.
Freese doubles to left center.
I hate the Cardinals.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
I realize the last few weeks have been a process of playing out the string, but it is very difficult for me to believe a team can just snap out of a five-week slump this bad and start producing the runs necessary to win a playoff series.
Latos breaking ball is up and right in the zone...

You think being the president is a thankless job? Try being Batman.
Ben Affleck learned that lesson last week, when Warner Bros. announced that the star and director of the Best Picture Oscar winner "Argo" would suit up as the Caped Crusader in "Man of Steel 2," the Superman sequel scheduled for a July 2015 release.
Director Zack Snyder, who made "Man of Steel" and will be back for the sequel, officially gushed over the Affleck pick. "He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne," Snyder said.
As soon as the announcement was made, howls rose up across the Internet. Fans wailed that Affleck wouldn't be as good as Christian Bale was in Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy, or that he would stink up the superhero role the way he did in "Daredevil" in 2003, or that he'd give billionaire Bruce Wayne a Boston accent.
Petition drives started online, demanding Affleck be dumped. One of these has received more than 82,000 signatures. Really.
Of course, following the script for such media firestorms, there was the response of Hollywood bold-faced names who liked the casting choice. Joss Whedon endorsed Affleck. So did Joseph Gordon-Levitt, seen as Bale's heir apparent after "The Dark Knight Rises." So did Val Kilmer, who played Batman in "Batman Forever."
Then, everybody saw Miley Cyrus twerking on the MTV Video Music Awards, and we all forgot about Affleck and moved on to the next idiotic media "controversy."
But l'affaire Affleck continues to rankle me, because it's a textbook case of everything that's wrong in today's movie culture.
In short, what's happening to Ben Affleck shows the problems when you let fanboys run the world.
It's the fanboys who shouted the loudest at the Affleck announcement. These self-appointed guardians of the Batman legacy have in their heads a perfect vision of what Batman should be, just as they have their own ideas of how every comic book, novel or other fictional character should be adapted.
Thing is, the fanboys are frequently wrong. They were wrong when they said Heath Ledger would be a bad choice for The Joker in "The Dark Knight." They were wrong when they said Elijah Wood would make a terrible Frodo Baggins in "The Lord of the Rings." They were wrong when they questioned whether Michael Keaton, known then for "Beetlejuice" and "Mr. Mom," would work as Batman in Tim Burton's 1989 version.
The fanboys are also wrong that playing Batman is the important part of the gig. With a sturdy set of Spanx, I could play Batman, because the armored suit and cowl are doing all the work. It's the portrayal of Bruce Wayne where the actor must pull his weight. Bale knew this and played up Wayne's surface nonchalance. Heck, George Clooney was a good Bruce Wayne, even though the movie Joel Schumacher built around him, "Batman & Robin," was dumber than a dozen Adam West/Burt Ward "Batman" episodes.
And the fanboys are wrong in thinking that they own the keys to the Batmobile. This is a franchise like any other, and it's going to be in the hands of Snyder and the people he and Warner Bros. hire to make their vision of Batman vs. Superman come to life.
Let me repeat those two words: Their vision. Not the fanboys' vision.
I'm not without sympathy to the fanboys. I've been there. I sat on the edge of my seat last month when the BBC announced Peter Capaldi would be the next star of "Doctor Who." I've been there.
I know that fanboys feel invested in the stuff they love. I can cite examples of franchises that went off the rails because their creators didn't listen to what the fans wanted. I think of George Lucas and the "Star Wars" prequels, and a shudder comes over me.
But listening to the fanboys too much is its own madness. Remember "Snakes on a Plane"? That 2006 disaster movie did reshoots to incorporate ideas generated by online fan feedback, and it turned out that most of those ideas made the movie dumber. (Example: insisting on the line "I'm tired of these motherf-ing snakes on this motherf-ing plane," which prompted obvious wincing when Samuel L. Jackson had to deliver it.) By the way, all that sucking up didn't pay off, because the fanboys didn't come to the movie and it earned only $15.5 million on its opening weekend.
None of this is new, or unique to the Internet. In 1939, fans of Margaret Mitchell's novel "Gone With the Wind" fretted over who would be cast in David O. Selznick's movie version. Most of the speculation centered on the role of Scarlett O'Hara, and after every major Hollywood actress tried out for the role, Selznick went with a relative unknown, Vivien Leigh.
The Internet has, however, made the irritation constant and applied it to practically every new movie coming along.
A recent, maddening example is the buzz surrounding the adaptation of Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy." Since the first of the year, it seems that every week has brought another breathless casting announcement, followed by reams of opining about each pick. Heck, we even had a solid month of speculation about whether Vin Diesel would provide the voice of a frickin' tree.
Here's my plea to fanboys everywhere: Knock it off. How about we let 'em make the movie before you jump all over it? Can we do that?

On History
Lost in MusicBy James Kennaway
Musical mind control from Mesmer to the Satanic panic.
To lose oneself in music is generally regarded as a good thing—an ecstatic experience, or at least an absent-minded pleasure. But despite the Eminems, Daft Punks, and Sister Sledges of the world, Western culture has often had niggling fears about letting go in that way. What if the music can make you do things? What if surrendering to it means surrendering the parts of yourself that hold you back from madness, adultery, and murder? What if heavy metal sends teens on killing sprees? What if rock and roll makes girls shed their sexual inhibitions, causing a rash of nymphomania and pregnancy and the collapse of social order—or what if it can whip crowds into a malleable frenzy, leaving them the pitiful stooges of Communist or other sinister causes? What if it can be used with other forms of thought control to turn people into Manchurian Candidate–style automatons?
The fear, however implausible, that music has mysterious powers—that it can hypnotize or brainwash, making us the playthings of malign manipulators or our own dark instincts—has crept into the public discourse surprisingly often over the past two hundred years. Concerns about the medical, sexual, social, and political consequences of musical hypnosis are an essentially modern business; until the eighteenth century, trance states were often seen in a positive light, even as a way of connecting to the divine. But against the background of the internalized self-control demanded by modern urban society, trance states have been increasingly regarded as pathological symptoms—something to be explained by doctors, not priests.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Kyle Seager loves playing at Texas. Not so much for the rest of the Seattle Mariners.
This time, everyone is having a nice time in the Lone Star State.
Seager hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning, and the Mariners won consecutive games at Rangers Ballpark for the first time in more than a year with a 4-2 victory on Wednesday night.
Seager was mired in a 1-for-19 skid coming into the series, but he has five hits in the first two games against the Rangers, who dropped to 30-14 at home against Seattle since 2009. The third baseman is a .361 hitter with four homers and 11 RBIs in 20 career games at Texas.
Michael Saunders walked on a full-count pitch with two out before Seager connected against Robbie Ross (4-2) for his third hit of the game. Seager's 12th homer landed in the first row of seats in right field.
''I knew I hit it pretty good, but it didn't really get too high for me,'' Seager said. ''I was hoping. Let's put it that way.''
Charlie Furbush (2-4) pitched 1 2-3 scoreless innings for the win, and Tom Wilhelmsen was perfect in the 10th for his 17th save in 22 chances.
The Mariners last won two straight in Texas on May 29-30, 2012, when they took the last two of a three-game series. Seattle will go for its first sweep in Texas since 2002 on Thursday night.
''It's always good to win within your division,'' manager Eric Wedge said. ''It's always better to do that on the road within your division. The guys have done a nice job the last couple of nights.''
David Murphy and Ian Kinsler homered in the fifth inning against Felix Hernandez, giving Texas a 2-1 lead. The leadoff shot by Murphy ended a four-game streak without a homer for the Rangers, their longest in more than two years.
It also was the first homer for Murphy since June 9, and his first RBI since June 11.
Kinsler, who spent nearly a month on the disabled list with a rib fracture, sent the 11th pitch of his at-bat against Hernandez a few rows deep in left field for his first homer since May 8.
''They're pretty tough,'' Hernandez said. ''Those two homers, I just fell behind against Murphy ... and Kinsler put in a great at-bat. I just missed my location and he hit it out of the ballpark.''
The Mariners pulled even with a run in the sixth, ending Derek Holland's night with a 37-pitch inning that included three straight full counts.
The last of the three full counts came against Mike Zunino, who battled back from an 0-2 count for a tying infield single on a hopper that Adrian Beltre couldn't handle behind the bag at third.
Raul Ibanez and Kendrys Morales opened the inning with singles, and Justin Smoak walked with one out, also after falling behind 0-2. Dustin Ackley struck out on a full count before Zunino's hit brought home Ibanez.
''It was frustrating on my part,'' Holland said. ''I was 0-2 and I let that get away from me. That's upsetting to me. I had him put away and I let him get away.''
Texas center fielder Leonys Martin went 0 for 4 to end the longest active hitting streak in the majors at 15 games.
The Rangers fell to 0-3 in extra innings at home and were held to two runs for the second straight game a few hours after announcing they had agreed to a minor league deal with 41-year-old slugger Manny Ramirez, acknowledging their need for a right-handed power bat.
''I think my offense last night got shut down by (Joe) Saunders,'' Rangers manager Ron Washington said. ''I think today it was pitching again. There's nothing wrong with my offense. We'll just continue to battle and see where it goes.''
Holland, making his first outing since a two-hit shutout in a 2-0 win at Yankee Stadium, gave up a leadoff home run to Jason Bay on the fourth pitch of the game.
The Mariners had runners at first and third with no outs in the second after singles by Seager and Smoak, but Holland got a shallow fly ball from Dustin Ackley that forced Seager to hold up after going a third of the way down the line. Holland then struck out Zunino and got Brad Miller on a fly ball to center.
Holland struck out 10 and had seven hits and two walks on his line.
Hernandez gave up four extra-base hits, matching the Texas total from its previous four games combined. Besides the homers from Murphy and Kinsler, Nelson Cruz doubled with two outs in the first and Beltre had a leadoff double that was followed by three straight outs in the sixth.
Elvis Andrus grounded into an inning-ending double play with two on in the seventh to wrap up the night for Hernandez, who gave up seven hits and struck out seven in his third straight no-decision.
''It was not bad,'' Hernandez said. ''I think last year I didn't pitch here, but today I was just trying to make good pitches. In this ballpark when the ball flies, I just try to keep the ball down and make good pitches.''
NOTES: Rangers RHP Alexi Ogando came through a bullpen session Wednesday with no setbacks and will make a rehab start Saturday at Round Rock. He likely will make at least two rehab starts. ... Hernandez hasn't won at Rangers Ballpark since Sept. 28, 2010. His last loss this season came against Texas on May 25. ... Martin stole a base for the sixth straight game, matching a Texas record set by John Lowenstein in 1978. ... Rangers DH Lance Berkman returned after missing four games with a sore right knee and went 1 for 4.

The following is an email sent from the Wellness Center on campus late last week. We have re-published it here because it has been recommended to higher ed institutions by the Centers for Disease Control to do so.
H1N1 (Swine) Flu Information for the Multnomah University Community
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have been reporting about the outbreak of H1N1 (Swine Flu) and cases have now been reported in Oregon. There is also now evidence that the flu can be passed from human to human. Travelers to and from the affected areas are advised by the CDC to exercise caution.
Public health officials in Oregon and Multnomah County are monitoring the situation and will continue to offer direction and advice, as cited below. Multnomah University is collaborating with these officials by monitoring this situation on our campus and putting their recommendations into effect. Multnomah University will help identify persons that may have the H1N1 (swine flu), ensure that persons with symptoms are not spreading the disease, and encourage all persons with symptoms to see their local physician, urgent care facility or the emergency room immediately. Please know that the university has a response plan in place should we need it activate it.
For prevention, MU is doing the following
- Wellness Center is monitoring local and national outbreak developments and has created posters reminding the community to increase hand washing/sanitizing
- Dining Staff has increased cleaning and disinfecting procedures in all dining facilities
- Custodial crews have increased cleaning and sanitization of surfaces, doorknobs and bathrooms around campus
- Hand sanitizer has been placed in classrooms and in strategic places around campus (although frequent hand washing is still recommended)
- Appropriate staff and faculty have been notified to be ready with their departmental responses should the response plan be activated
Symptoms & What to do if you think you have it
H1N1 (swine flu) is a highly contagious respiratory disease characterized by high fever over 100.4 , cough, sneezing, sore throat, body aches, nasal congestion and fatigue - and in some cases nausea and vomiting.
If you have above symptoms:
- Please first call the Wellness Center at 503.251.6685 as soon as you notice the first symptoms, so Nurse Jana can assist you in getting the proper care.
- See a medical doctor! It is important that you be treated by a physician within the first two days of the above symptoms to see if you need an antiviral medication that will lesson the symptoms and the duration of your illness. (Note: this medication is not going to be helpful after that time frame.)
- Avoid exposing others to your illness! You may get a protective face mask from the Wellness Center. (If you have flu symptoms, these should be worn while around others in addition to avoiding being around others as much as possible.)
How you can help avoid H1N1 (Swine Flu)
H1N1 (Swine Flu), like any other influenza, is spread from person to person by being exposed to respiratory droplets from infected people.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth as germs spread that way.
- If you are ill, stay home or in your residence hall room away from others.
- Wipe down surfaces that may have become contaminated with disinfectant wipes. Staff and Faculty may wish to keep on hand a container of disinfectant wipes for use in their offices and/or classrooms.
- Wear a face mask when there may be others around you with flu symptoms. These can be found in the Wellness Center and at a number of stores nearby.
Again, if you think you have the flu, please call Nurse Jana to ensure that you are doing everything possible to prevent further spreading of the illness. This is very important!
We will continue to monitor this issue and contact you if any important new local developments arise about the occurrence of the disease. In the meantime, we encourage our community members to learn more about H1N1 (Swine Flu) by visiting one or more of the websites listed below.

FLORENCE – Francis Marion University students will benefit from six new scholarships totaling $110,000 in the coming year. These scholarships were established to support students of all ages with a variety of interests.
"Once again, the FMU family and the Pee Dee community have responded to our need for scholarship assistance," said FMU President Fred Carter.

Established in memory of H. Philip Baugh, son Philip Baugh has established the H. Philip Baugh Scholarship. Baugh's father passed away Nov. 21, 2010. He was a native of Charlotte, N.C. and a graduate of Bob Jones University and Columbia Bible College. After serving in the Navy, he worked in the lumber, hardware and commercial development business. This scholarship is endowed for $25,000 and first preference is giving to a member of a Presbyterian Church in the Pee Dee area with financial need.
In addition, the Elizabeth S. Beasley estate has donated $21,000 toward scholarships to benefit students in need.

Horsemeat: Compass and Whitbread find horse DNA in products
Catering giant Compass Group and Whitbread, one of Britain's largest hotel chains, have found horse DNA in products sold as beef, it has emerged.
Horsemeat has also been found in cottage pies supplied to 47 schools in Lancashire - they have been withdrawn.
But the Food Standards Agency says that after 2,501 fresh tests no new products have been identified as containing more than 1% horsemeat.
It said the 29 positive results were on seven previously withdrawn products.
FSA chief executive Catherine Brown said she remained "confident" that the testing was the right way to address the issue.
"It is industry's responsibility to get this right - not the government's - and we consider that a comprehensive testing programme at all points of the supply chain and in all sectors is an essential step in addressing this issue.
"And as this programme of testing and publishing results continues, and as action is taken to tackle this issue in supply chains across Europe, we will reach the point where we can say with confidence that horse meat is no longer illegally entering the UK food chain."
'Shocked and dismayed'
Compass Group, one of the biggest school food providers in the UK, says its tests have found between 5% and 30% horse DNA in burgers it sold in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
It says the burgers were supplied by Rangeland Foods in County Monaghan, which previously withdrew more than 9,000 burgers made for the UK market after some were found to contain horsemeat.
Compass said the Rangeland burgers had been supplied to 13 sites in the Irish Republic and 27 in Northern Ireland, mostly offices but including two unnamed secondary schools.
It described the situation as "totally unacceptable" and said all affected sites had been given "unreserved apologies".
And Whitbread, which owns Premier Inn, Beefeater Grill and Brewers Fayre, says it found horse DNA in two products - burgers supplied by food supplier Paragon Quality Foods and lasagne from Brakes Brothers.
Creative Foods, owned by Brakes Brothers, and which caters for schools and hospitals in the UK, had used frozen beef mince for lasagne from Hampshire-based supplier Pinnacle Foods, some of which has now been found to contain horse DNA.
Creative says it has now stopped using Pinnacle Foods as a supplier, and Brakes is also recalling one of its own-brand lasagne products as a precaution.
Pinnacle's managing director Graham Reed said this development was "a complete surprise and shock to us".
He added: "We are devastated by the news, and working very hard to trace back where the offending material may have come from.
"We have never ever knowingly had equine material on our premises or indeed ever dealt in horsemeat. We will be working very closely with FSA and customers alike to get to the bottom of it."
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson told the BBC he expected the food industry to have completed their horsemeat tests by the end of next week.
He said it was for the industry to "get out there and reassure the public".
Asked about the retailers' response to the crisis, he said that was "for the food businesses themselves to decide, they are responsible for the quality and integrity of what they present to the public", before adding that it was not for him to "micro-manage" food businesses.
But Labour's Mary Creagh said the public would be "shocked and dismayed that horsemeat has now been found in schools and hospitals" and called for the prime minister to order the FSA to speed up its testing.
In other developments:
- The European Union has decided immediately to start testing for the presence of unlabelled horsemeat in foods across the Continent. Tests will also be carried out for the presence of residues of the drug phenylbutazone, used on horses but banned from entering the food chain
- The FSA says that following three arrests made on Thursday in Wales and West Yorkshire in relation to suspected fraud regarding the horsemeat scandal, there have now been seizures of evidence at Flexi Foods Ltd in Hull and at Dinos & Sons Continental Foods Ltd in Tottenham, London
- Flexi Foods, based at Hull's Newland Science Park, confirmed it was "co-operating" with the FSA while Dinos & Sons said it had been "asked to clarify its position in respect of the transportation and storage of frozen beef that was imported by, and belonged to, a third party that the FSA is investigating"
- A company which provides school meals to 128 schools in Bristol - Eden Foodservice - has withdrawn all of its processed beef products from its menus as a precautionary measure
- On Friday, it emerged beefburgers containing horsemeat had been withdrawn from hospitals in Northern Ireland
- French meat processing company Spanghero apologised to British consumers but denied knowingly selling horsemeat labelled as beef
'Fresh beef'
A group of 11 food suppliers, including Tesco and Asda, issued a letter on Friday stating they shared shoppers' "anger and outrage" and rejecting government criticism they "remained silent" over the crisis.
The letter was signed by chief executive of Tesco, Philip Clarke, Asda Stores boss, Andy Clarke, the chief executive of J Sainsbury, Justin King, and Dalton Philips, chief executive of Wm Morrison Supermarkets, among others. Several also released the results of their tests.
Iceland said that all of its own brand beef products have been found to be free from horsemeat.
The Co-Operative Group said 59 of its 102 own-brand minced beef products have been tested so far, with all found to be clear of horsemeat. And Morrisons says 68 test results on its products have not found horsemeat, with more results still to come.
Tesco says tests on 149 of its products are clear, and Sainsbury's say their tests show no horse adulteration. Waitrose says it has conducted about 40 tests, none of which showed the presence of horsemeat.
Last month, Irish food inspectors said they had found horsemeat in beefburgers made by firms in the Irish Republic and the UK, and sold by a number of UK supermarket chains, including Tesco, Iceland, Aldi and Lidl.
Since then, a growing number of UK retailers have recalled processed beef products found to contain horse DNA.
Some shops have already recalled products found to be adulterated, including Asda, which withdrew a beef Bolognese sauce on Thursday - the first fresh beef product to be involved.
Aldi, Tesco and Findus have also withdrawn some beef-based ready meals.

text: It appears this problem is eliminated with the 32bit version of BT5r3. Since the problem is related to Compiz, it would seem this issue has something to do with either the BT 64bit libraries, or the 64bit version of Remmina or Compiz. All I know, is after installing BT5r3 32bit, I haven't had a problem.

Unfortunately LiveClock, the tweak that animated your Clock application to display the real time, never did see an update for iOS 5. However, with a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Clockify, by iOS developer Nikos Lykousas, you can get this functionality back on iOS 5 with much more than LiveClock ever did offer.
Clockify brings the same wonderful animated clock effect right to your home screen, by making your Clock application display the same time that you see in your status bar. The second hand, minute hand, and hour hand all move in real time to give you a realistic clock effect.
In addition to animating the stock iOS Clock application icon, Clockify also adds two great new widgets to the operating system. The first widget is on the lock screen, which is normally just a digital clock. Clockify replaces the digital clock with an analog clock that matches the style of the Clock application, but also displays the time digitally right next to the analog clock style. The second widget is the same as the first, but is optional to have in the Notification Center. You can see the widgets below:
After you launch the Settings application when you finish installing Clockify, you will find a preferences pane:
From the preferences pane, you can enable and disable the animated Clock application icon on demand, or change the style of the Clock application icon to any of the following styles:
- Default
- Always Day
- Always Night
- No Background
- Alternative
Additionally, you can enable and disable the lock screen clock widget on demand and you can choose to change it between any of the following modes:
- Local Time
- Local Time + World Clock
- World Clock
Last but not least, you will find the option to change the Notification Center widget height from the default 92 pixel height to the stock Apple-sized height of 71 pixels. The 92 pixel height means that you will have a larger clock in the widget, but the 71 pixel height means that the widget will be the same height as the Stock and Weather widgets, giving it a more native feel. You can additionally change the Notification Center widget clock between any of the following modes:
- Local Time
- Local Time + World Clock
- World Clock
Clockify works in full with Dashboard X and IntelliScreenX. If you were wondering, Clockify was made to run on the iPhone and iPod touch and will not work on the iPad. It does require iOS 5 to be installed – iOS 4 users can still use LiveClock as an alternative.
Having the live Clock application icon is a beautiful addition to iOS because it's a small aesthetic feature that adds to the precise detailing that Apple is known for. For just a buck, you can't really go wrong with this tweak. For all the wonderful new changes that Clockify brings to your iOS device, it is certainly worth the download. Additionally, you can enable only your favorite features of the tweak and disable the ones that you don't like as much. Thanks to the flexibility of the preferences pane, there are a lot of different options to make many different users happy.
Name: Clockify
Price: $1
Version: 1.0.0
Requirements: iOS 5, iPhone or iPod touch
Repo: BigBoss
Developer: Nikos Lykousas
Editor's Rating: 5/5

Support our conservation efforts today and help us protect wildlife and wild places in the Pacific Northwest and around the globe.
Thank you for supporting snow leopards
A Project of Woodland Park Zoo's Partners for Wildlife
Snow leopard, Aztai, in Mongolia. Outfitted with a GPS collar, Aztai has helped researchers collect essential data on snow leopard movement and behavior.
The Snow Leopard Trust's mission is to protect the endangered snow leopard and its mountain habitat through a comprehensive systems approach that addresses the needs of local people and the environment. The Trust was founded in 1981 by the late Woodland Park Zoo staff member Helen Freeman, as a direct response to the threats that faced the cats in the wild. The Trust, which started with a budget of just under $2,000 and a few dedicated volunteers, now boasts more than 50 staff worldwide and an annual budget of over $1.5 million, all focused on preserving and protecting the endangered cat.
The Trust was one of the first conservation organizations to pioneer community-based conservation, in which the economic and social needs of the communities are addressed as part of conservation solutions. The flagship community-based conservation program, Snow Leopard Enterprises, was founded in 1998 and has since grown to become the largest snow leopard conservation initiative in Mongolia. The program has a direct link to biodiversity conservation, directly addressing threats to snow leopards by alleviating poaching, increasing livelihoods of local communities living in snow leopard habitat, incorporating regional land-use planning and developing sustainable partnerships with local governments. The Trust currently supports field offices in China, India, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, and Pakistan, accounting for more than 80% of the world's snow leopards and snow leopard habitat.
The Snow Leopard Trust is guided by the long-term priority goals of the Snow Leopard Survival Strategy. The purpose is to identify and focus on model landscapes in each of the five core countries and, within those landscapes, develop comprehensive conservation systems that are effective and resilient. The ultimate goal is to support healthy and growing populations of snow leopards and prey species in some of the richest, most important habitats within the range.
As of February 2013, seven snow leopards are currently wearing GPS collars—three males and four females. Since the research program began in 2008, GPS collars have been placed on 19 snow leopards. In 2012, Snow Leopard Trust field researchers successfully collared four new snow leopards: one male and three females. Each of the cats were fitted with GPS collars that uplink locations approximately every five hours, and are scheduled to drop off 24 months after the initial collaring.
Snow leopards belong to the family Felidae, which includes 36 cat species. Researchers estimate between 3,500 and 7,000 snow leopards in the wild, exact numbers not known because the cats are elusive and inhabit harsh, remote habitat. They are distributed throughout the high mountains of Central Asia. In summer, they range in high alpine meadows and rocky areas at elevations of 8,900 – 19,700 feet, usually sleeping in rocky caves or crevices, their long tail (almost as long as their body) serving as a muffler protecting their noses and lungs in the intense cold.
Snow Leopard Trust's innovative Snow Leopard Enterprises program is a cooperative handicraft-based community partnership in several Asian countries, helping herders make and sell fine wool handicrafts to increase their income. In 2012, 257 families in snow leopard habitat in Mongolia made products for SLE. On average, each household was able to earn roughly $157 in extra income during the year, an increase of approximately 66%. This income helps families offset the losses they faced to livestock living alongside snow leopards. Handicrafts were sold in over 150 retail outlets in the US and internationally.
In 2012, Woodland Park Zoo was once again the beneficiary of the birth of three snow leopard cubs. Unfortunately one cub succumbed to health issues early on, but the remaining two cubs, Asha and Shanti, have done well as part of the zoo collection and the Species Survival Plan. The cubs, although diagnosed with congenital eyelid defects known as colobomas, get around the exhibit well after multiple surgical procedures. The keepers and exhibits crews worked hard to make sure the exhibit was safe for our vision impaired cubs, allowing them the freedom and mobility that any growing cub would need.

Gov. John Kasich Signs Midterm Budget
GROVE CITY, Ohio (WSPD) -- Ohio Gov. John Kasich has signed a midterm budget bill that includes a wide-range of policy changes. He says it's a tool being used because Ohio's two-year budget cycle is too slow.
One of the highlights of the bill is a doubling of the state's earned-income tax credit to 10 percent.
"What it's going to mean is working people are going to be rewarded for working," Kasich said as he signed the bill at the Mid-Ohio Foodbank south of Columbus.
The bill also includes income tax exemptions for Ohioans making up to $80,000 and accelerated an already planned income-tax cut.
"We are focusing the tax benefit on the people who are at the lowest income level. At the same time we're bringing down the top rate so we don't chase the most successful people out of Ohio. In case you forget, they're the ones that create the jobs," he said.
The bill also puts more control on spending $300 million put aside to cover any unexpected expenses related to Medicaid expansion.
Other provisions include increases for mental health and addiction services. There's also $16 million for early childhood funding to help low-income families get access to childcare.

The Middle States Commission on Higher Education has officially reaffirmed accreditation for SUNY Plattsburgh for another 10 years (2012 – 2022). In a letter to College President John Ettling announcing the reaccreditation, Dr. Barbara Gitenstein, MSCHE chair, said the commission reaffirmed accreditation of SUNY Plattsburgh at its June 28 meeting and commended the college "for the quality of the self-study report and the quality of the self-study process."
The Middle States Commission on Higher Education is the unit of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools that accredits degree-granting colleges and universities in the Middle States region — the District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and several locations internationally.
Accreditation is a voluntary process intended to strengthen and sustain the quality and integrity of higher education institutions. While the commission examines each institution as a whole rather than specific programs, accreditation is also necessary if a college or university wants its students to obtain loans and grants from the federal government through the Student Assistance Programs in Title IV of the Higher Education Act.
SUNY Plattsburgh completed a nearly two-year review of the college culminating in a self-study report that was issued to the Middle States Commission in early February 2012. A team of 12 external reviewers then spent three days on campus in late March to evaluate the college in accordance with Middle States standards.
Throughout its report to the full Commission, the visiting team identified several significant accomplishments at SUNY Plattsburgh. For example:
SUNY Plattsburgh will submit a Periodic Review Report by June 1, 2017. Its next self-study evaluation will occur in 2012-2022.
