There's something about a courtroom drama that piques our interest—but with shows and movies about lawyers hitting the air waves every week, we wondered what the professionals watch. Here, we've asked area attorneys for their all-time favorites. (And we're adding them to our list!)
Jim Carmody, Carmody MacDonald
The Verdict is my favorite because it includes an interesting story, in-court drama, and a great performance by Paul Newman and the rest of the cast.
Margo Green, Green, Cordonnier & House
My favorite lawyer movie is The Lincoln Lawyer. Matthew McConaughey plays a criminal lawyer who keeps his office in the back seat of his car. His driver is a former criminal client who drives him everywhere to pay off his bill. He multi-tasks day and night and is very skilled at getting his clients out of the charges against them, in very creative ways. He walks that line that criminal lawyers have to walk—and does it with panache!
Kirk Stange, Stange Law Firm
I like The Devil's Advocate with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino. It's kind of a dark movie. Reeves joins a law firm and it turns out his boss, Pacino, is Satan; he has Reeves doing all kind of things that are unethical, and at a certain point, he figures out he's not such a great guy. The movie is interesting in terms of ethics and keeping things in perspective—that success and monetary wealth are not as important as being a good person.
Barbara Behrens, Behrens Law Firm
Because I'm a divorce attorney, hands-down my favorite lawyer movie is Intolerable Cruelty in which divorce attorney George Clooney gets to deliciously skewer the opposing divorce counsel with faint praise throughout the movie. Catherine Zeta Jones, who makes a career out of marrying money, plots to marry Clooney sans prenuptial agreement. Clooney is a man devoted to not marrying and famous for drafting prenuptial agreements that cannot be broken. Zeta Jones beats him on both counts. I recommend this movie to everyone who is divorced and everyone who is not divorced. It's PG-13, so you can watch it with your kids on a weekend you have them. Other terrific lawyer movies I love are To Kill A Mockingbird and A Civil Action.

Prospects Will Break Your Heart
What Could Go Wrong in 2012: St. Louis Cardinals
Prospect #1: OF Oscar Taveras
As it turns out, Taveras's brand of violence is calculated, as he wields his weapon with a controlled fury; to the eye, his swing looks haphazard and aggressive to a fault, but his elite hand quickness and strength allow him to command his swing with more touch than is realized. He can barrel balls to all fields from all hands and has improved his pitch recognition skills, leaving him with an offensive skill set that has few weaknesses. The hit tool receives sevens and eights in reports, and some scouts have even put sevens on his future power, a tool that will continue to mature. His defensive game isn't nearly as remarkable, but his routes and angles continue to improve, and he has logged time at all three outfield spots, which gives him some positional versatility. Taveras's offensive potential is the truth, and if he hits his projections he will be a superstar. He isn't a finished product, but his time in the minors is nearing its conclusion, as the 19-year-old Dominican is more than holding his own in Double-A and should compete for a job in the majors at some point in 2013.
When it comes together, Miller can look like a frontline starter, pushing his lively, plus fastball down in the zone, using both the curve and the change to miss bats and force weak contact, and commanding the mound with an aggressive approach. The physical tools are there for the high-end projection, but it takes more than just promising physical characteristics to excel as a starter at the major league level. If Miller's focus and commitment to his craft is on the same level as his stuff, he's going to be a very good pitcher for a very long time.
One scout told me that Wong could play any position on the diamond, with a nose for the game that could rival that of a 10-year major league veteran. He's a gamer, but one with tools, and despite lacking size, he plays the game in a very physical manner, showing strength and athleticism on both sides of the ball. He profiles as a major league regular, one that will hit for a high average with some secondary skills, play solid-average (at least) defense at second, and play every game with a highly focused intensity.
With three quality pitches—including a potential elite offering—Martinez has the stuff to pitch at the top of a major league rotation. His ultimate future will depend on his ability to maintain his pitches as the innings pile up, and if the secondary stuff can mature to potential. If everything clicks, Martinez could be a very special arm, the kind that every team covets and only a few are fortunate enough to acquire. The good news for the Cardinals is that even if Martinez falls short of his lofty projection, his fastball is so good that he could become a frontline reliever, almost as a fallback. Either way, Martinez has the type of arm that will have impact at the major league level.
But some observers have expressed their frustration at the fire-baller, mostly because he often lets hitters off the hook. One scout went as far to say that "With his stuff, he should be missing more bats, and yes, I know he is missing plenty of bats. If he challenged hitters with the serious smoke, he could have twice as many strikeouts and half the hits allowed." One could argue that Martinez is learning to pitch rather than just ram his high-octane heat down the throats of the opposition for the sake of domination, which could bode well for him down the line when he can feature big stuff delivered with nuance, rather than just max-effort intensity.
Martinez has been on the shelf for several weeks with shoulder tendinitis, but is set to make his return from the disabled in Double-A, a challenge that the hurler obviously needed. If 100% healthy and willing to attack, Martinez has the raw stuff to crush the dreams of hitters at the minor league level. It's scary to think that he already has decent feel for his craft to go along with the electric stuff, and the combination of the two could make him a frontline starter. The shoulder injury won't silence the bullpen chorus, and the effort in the delivery and the limited size aren't likely to make a convincing argument for the rotation, but as I mentioned, the majority of my sources view Martinez as a future starter. Two-seam/four-seam, nitpick aside, this is the biggest debate with the pitcher: starter or reliever.
Physically, Jenkins still needs to add strength to his imposing 6'4'' frame, allowing him to hold his stuff at higher workloads and limit fatigue and its mechanical repercussions. His secondary pitches are still very hot and cold, with the consistency of his delivery and release points affecting the utility, but he has plenty of time to find refinement. The projections suggest Jenkins has a high ceiling, with three plus potential pitches, prototypical size, well above-average athleticism, and a mature approach to the process. He's a long way from reaching that ceiling, as the transformation from thrower to pitcher isn't an overnight event. If the work ethic is there—which I've been told it is—Jenkins is a good candidate to emerge as a top-tier pitching prospect in the minors. It just might take a few years to see the production catch up to the promise.

This was great, thank you! I recognize that there have to be limitations (and that everyone wants to hear "just one more" for their favorite team), but I would have loved to read a review of a sixth player for the Cardinals organization for Trevor Rosenthal.
May 31, 2012 05:31 AM
Seconded. I'd even have been willing to wait a year to hear about one of Jenkins or Martinez, since Rosenthal is higher in the system and has been moving faster (he's another of last year's Springfield crowd that skipped high-A altogether, like Wong and Taveras).
May 31, 2012 05:59 AM
Nice article. Could you expand on what is meant by the term "a good command profile."
May 31, 2012 05:56 AM
Great article. Only thing I worry about with Oscar Taveras is his lack of walks, but I think that will improve with maturity. To me, he favors Robinson Cano as a hitter. I know that sounds like a lofty projection, but they seem very similar to me.
May 31, 2012 06:44 AM
Martinez's skillset sounds a lot like the skillsets of guys like Betances and Allie (with a much different size/frame).
May 31, 2012 06:53 AM
Martinez is a better pitcher than the other two, with better overall feel for his arsenal. I think he has a much better chance of sticking in a rotation, although the power of his fastball will always make it tempting to showcase his talents in bursts.
May 31, 2012 07:34 AM
Jason a bit OT, but still Cardinals related. What do you make of 20yr old Anthony Garcia? Seems to be flying under the radar at Quad Cities. You or KG spoken to anyone in MWL on him? Tks.
May 31, 2012 08:21 AM
I was an absolute cheerleader for Kolten Wong coming into the 2011 draft, and he's already exceeded what I reasonably thought he could do. I understand he doesn't profile as a star, but man, he looks like a future big-leaguer.
May 31, 2012 08:55 AM
As a Reds fan, I must reluctantly admit that the Cards certainly have the superior top-level farm guys at the moment. That Latos trade sure thinned us out. This is the first year in a good while that the Louisville Bats will not be competing in the IL.
May 31, 2012 09:29 AM
Walt Jocketty knows how to decimate a farm system. The sooner he's gone, the better for the Reds. The current Cardinals system is almost entirely the product of Jeff Lunhow, who did a fantastic job with the draft and, in short order, returned the system to respectability.
May 31, 2012 12:32 PM
Another website had a spirited debate amongst commenters regarding Taveras vs Wil Myers. Who do you feel ranks higher and why?
May 31, 2012 10:19 AM
You subtly indicate this in the article, but I would shout it out a bit louder: what a dumb comment by that scout about how Martinez should be using more "serious smoke" to put away hitters. That's exactly what he should NOT be doing and, if I understand correctly, it's exactly what the Cards organization has ordered him not to do. He's not going to succeed in MLB with only serious smoke -- MiLB is the place to work on secondary stuff. His numbers are very good if short of bone-crushingly dominant, and my only concern is with his shoulder. Definitely not concerned if with 2 strikes against an A ball hitter instead of throwing a 98 mph fastball with movement he instead tries to develop his other pitches. To the contrary, that's what I'd hope he'd do.
May 31, 2012 10:23 AM
"[I]t's unlikely that [Wong] will be able to match the offensive production normally delivered by first-division second basemen." In what league is this? Because it doesn't appear to be the majors as we know them. Fewer than a dozen major-league 2Bs have an ISO of .150 or greater, and many of the ones that do also have some issues with contact and getting on base. Laying aside what Wong will or will not do, the offensive bar for being an upper-echelon major-league 2B isn't very high at the moment.
May 31, 2012 10:43 AM
Take a look at the guys who are considered first-division 2B: Cano, Pedroia, Uggla, Kinsler... Those guys are really, really good hitters. It's certainly possible Wong could hit .275 and slug .440, but is it likely? I don't think so, and I'm a HUGE fan.
May 31, 2012 11:33 AM
We may just have different definitions of what "first-division" means, then. Yes, Cano, Pedroia, Kinsler set the bar pretty high (I'm less convinced about Uggla, very erratic player), and no, Wong isn't likely to reach that bar, although stranger things have happened. But are you saying there are really only three or four "first-division 2B" in baseball? That seems strange, given that there are, by definition, fifteen first-division teams in baseball.
May 31, 2012 12:03 PM
Totally agree that our nomenclature is slippery, and that I cherry-picked a few top guys to help make my point.
May 31, 2012 12:10 PM
It's very nebulous, as the specific parameters of the classification could vary from scout-to-scout; although, if you suggest Player A is a first-division talent, the industry knows what that means, even if the specifics might be vague.
May 31, 2012 12:43 PM
which still makes for an extraordinarily valuable player to have under team control. "Better than average" but falling short of star seems to be a bit undervalued (if that makes sense). Though maybe that has to do with context - filling out your roster with guys like Wong and Adams (even if they hover around their perceived floors) around start-level talent makes for an exceptional team with no obvious weaknesses. Building around guys like Wong and Adams could make for years of mediocrity.
May 31, 2012 14:13 PM
Is "first division talent" a bit like "aces?" There aren't 30 #1 starters in the major leagues at any given time. Similarly, there may not always be 14 "above average" 2B in the league at any given time (despite what the word average means).

BENTONVILLE, Ark. — The Walmart Foundation is celebrating National Nutrition Month and National School Breakfast Week by giving $6.7 million in grants to five national nonprofit organizations that are providing children with school breakfast and helping families develop better eating habits. The grants are part of Walmart and the Walmart Foundation's $2 billion cash and in-kind commitment through 2015 to help fight hunger in America and Walmart's 2011 initiative to provide customers with healthier and more affordable food choices.
Grants to Action for Healthy Kids and the American Association of School Administrators will support programs that help more children start their school day with a morning meal, providing them with the nutritional substance they need to learn and grow. Additional grants to Common Threads, the Gaston & Porter Health Improvement Center and the National 4-H Council will fund programs that empower people of all ages with the education and training they need to identify, shop for and prepare healthier meals.
"Through Walmart and the Walmart Foundation's ongoing commitment to help Americans live better, we are working to make nutritious food more accessible and affordable to children and adults across the nation," said Julie Gehrki , senior director of the Walmart Foundation. "Many Americans are not making a well-balanced diet part of their daily routine. According to the Centers for Disease Control, only 25 percent of adults, and even fewer children, eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables each day. Through these grants, we are proud to partner with nonprofits to assure families not only have access to the healthy food they need, but also are empowered with the knowledge to develop and maintain better eating habits so they can live long and healthy lives."

Hoi members,am working on a site ( www.bistrolafrontiere.com ) . Since a week I noticed that every time you go to another page the upper part of the screen is jumping up and the logo disapperas for a split second and then everything comes back.Checked already all of the css code, but could not find any error.May be it is not the CSS but another code ?Can somebody have a critical eye on this problem?
I would be very thankfull.Grtz,jef
No problems here (Chrome on Mac). What browser are you using?
In some browsers like IE those weird things tent to appear, but can be avoided if you give the element the position:relative;So .logo {font-family: 'chopinscriptregular',verdana,arial;font-size: 90px;color: #330000;position:relative;}
Sorry for the late reply. My settings tll me that every time there is a raction, I would receive an e-mail.Perhaps due to the rain and snow over here, it did not happen. So my excuses for it.
Hoi ralph.m,I am using and Mozilla, and IE 8 and Chrome.Chrome is alright. Only the first time it gives a little "flash" effect. But then cache seems to do the job.
Hoi webcosmo,just tried the code you provided, but still got the same problem.
Any other suggestions???
I got the feeling that every tiùme the browser starts from http://www.bistrolafrontiere.com/index.html instead of ../index.htmlIs that possible?? If so, how to avoid??
Nobody has the golden tip or golden hint???
What browser and version do you see this in?
Hoio Ericwatson,thnx for the quick reply.Am using Firefox 18.0.1, Firefox 18.0.2, IE 8.0.6001.18702 en Chrome 24.0.1312.57m
I've set up a site for my wife ( www.alvoge.nl ) with a similar structure, and that 's working wel. No problems in any of the browsers.
Hope you can do something with it
The only issue I notice is the usual @font-face issues where the normal font is shown first and then the uploaded font replaces when its loaded giving what is commonly called a FOUT (Flash of unstyled Text). Some browsers are better than others but its very noticeable in IE and one of the reasons I avoid @font-face where possible.
I would ensure that first your header area has a height set so that you don't get a jump in page height when the text is replaced.
You can read more [on this here with some [URL="http://www.webink.com/fout-b-gone/"]possible solutions](http://paulirish.com/2009/fighting-the-font-face-fout/#update2011).
Hoi Paul O'B,
thnx for the interesting tips and hints.This is more worth then I expected.Was not aware of this "font face problem".Tried for a fixed height, but still the same (even if I gave it a height of 200px).Also tried to put the #header out of the #wrap and in CSS sheet put font face underneath #headerNo progress.
Guess it's better to wait for the next update for Firefox and IE, because Chrome is doing fine.But still interesting stuff. Again, learned a lot!!
Thnx again,grtz,jef
I just added a height to the header of 124px and that seems to stop the jumping in IE although you still get the font-changing of course.
#header {
height: 125px;
This was only tested via the developer tools and toggling the font on and off but the results should be the same live. Without the height the page jumps up and down but with the height it stays steady.
did already a reply yestarday. But there seems to have gone something wrong.So hereby a second attemp.Thnx for the advice. Put it in the code and it works fine for IE. Think that the font-changing is more than acceptable.Firefox still is not going the right way. May be in the future.
Thanks a lot for your advice, and I already mentioned it above: I learned a lot.
Thnx & grtz,jef

Each September, just as most folks around the country are winding down their summer enjoyment of America's sports car, Mid America Motorworks' founder and "Chief Cheerleader" Mike Yager throws an end-of-the-season appreciation party for his loyal customers. Since its debut in 1994, this Corvette-themed extravaganza-appropriately called "Funfest"-has evolved into one of the hobby's marquee events.
For 2006, Mike, his wife, Laurie, and their sons, Mike and Blake, took on the daunting task of topping last year's 'fest, which drew some 13,000 Corvettes and more than 30,000 attendees. They didn't disappoint, as the '06 attendance figures showed that more than 14,000 Corvettes and 45,000-plus visitors converged on MAM's sprawling corporate campus in Effingham, Illinois.
To be sure, there was no shortage of activities over the course of the three-day event. Numerous seminars-presented by GM designers, aftermarket-parts manufacturers, Corvette engineers, and experts from the Mid America Motorworks staff-gave attendees a rare opportunity to interact with the people who directly influence Corvette history. For classic-Corvette buffs, there were several new collector vehicles to see in MAM's "MY Garage" Museum, including the Bill Mitchell-designed '64 World's Fair GM Styling Corvette. As the "theme car" of Funfest '06, this distinctive-looking midyear was the event's centerpiece and true star.
For fans of performance tweaking, there was a special perk: Most of the vendors whose products are available through the Mid America Motorworks catalog were on hand to promote their wares and even install them for free, save for a nominal labor fee for more-involved procedures. Many attendees had exhaust systems, cold-air intakes, and even upgraded brakes bolted on at the "Install Alley" area while they waited. As is its custom during Funfest, MAM offered a 10 percent discount on all items purchased during the weekend and free shipping for parts not installed on site.
Speaking of aftermarket modifications, Mid America Motorworks used this year's Funfest to officially announce the opening of its Installation & Restyling Center. This shop will provide professional installation services on all MAM products sold throughout the year.
Unlike most shows, not all the goings-on at Funfest were limited to daylight hours. Friday night brought an exclusive automotive-art exhibit and charity silent auction, held at the Yagers' home. The following evening, the MAM crew pulled out all the stops and entertained more than 20,000 people with a pair of bands, one of them being multi-platinum rockers and Illinois natives REO Speedwagon.
Activities continued through Sunday with a second car show, more seminars, and special celebrations by more than 50 car clubs that attended from around the country. Members of the Grand Sport Registry attended en masse to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the '96 GS's release. There were even several '63 Grand Sport Replicas on hand to provide historical context.
Given that Funfest has become one of the largest Corvette events in the country, it wasn't surprising that the show was well attended by luminaries from the Corvette world. Throughout the long weekend, anyone could rub shoulders with and even obtain autographs from leading authors, serious collectors, current and former GM engineers, and automotive-television personalities.
The hosts of My Classic Car and Car Crazy-both weekly shows on the SPEED Channel-were in attendance, as was Corvette Assembly Plant Manager Wil Cooksey. Cooksey drove up in a wicked, black '07 Z06, accompanied by a hauler full of new Vettes and several Vette-based Cadillac XLRs. The cars gave Funfest attendees a chance to better familiarize themselves with these two platform mates, both of which represent the flagship models of their respective divisions.
If you've never attended Funfest, make a point of doing so this year. The event will take place September 21-23, 2007, and registration is free if completed prior to September 1, 2007. We'll see you there.

This is the dress that I dropped MAD money on, what do you guys think?
Also, this is how I will be breaking it down on the dance floor at prom
My concerns are these however:
Obviously, I still need to get it altered, I'm a pretty short girl so the top needs to be taken up and then the lone straps around my waist will be tightened. BUT, unfortunately I am pretty small busted and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions toward a little more push-up in that area? Tape? Could the seamstress do something about it, because obviously there is no way I can inconspicuously wear a bra with this.
Hair suggestions? I'm not a fan of updos because I feel like it accentuates my round face and makes me look fatter. Do you think down-do's are too bland and unformal though?
If you guys see bangles or earrings that would look lovely with this that would be a HUGE help too!

… It's because the gentleman shown here, James Huffer Jr., was allegedly chasing his girlfriend around an apartment complex at 4600 Cedar Springs, firing a gun out the window of his vehicle at about 4:30 a.m. But what happened next is even more unusual. After being handcuffed by police and placed in the back of a patrol car, Huffer somehow managed to get his hands around to the front of his body and hop in the driver's seat. Then he took off in the patrol car, evading police as he hopped on Stemmons Freeway, Highway 183 west, then Highway 360 South, before ditching the car near Avenue H in Arlington. As of this morning, he was still at large. From DPD:
Dallas and Arlington officers are actively searching for suspect Huffer. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact a local police department at once. It is likely he is still handcuffed. Crime Stoppers is also offering a reward for information leading to his arrest and indictment. The Crime Stoppers number is 214-373-8477. A photograph of suspect Huffer will follow this announcement. He is a white male, 6 feet tall and approximately 170 pounds. He has blue eyes and brown hair. He is believed to have acquaintances in the Arlington and Grand Prairie area. Suspect Huffer is likely to face a variety of charges including Escape, Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, and family violence Assault.

Staying connected is a good thing — that is until every moment you spend enjoying the sun and surf occurs through an Instagram filter. In response to a recent survey they conducted showing more than 50 percent of respondents reported checking their emails and voicemails multiple times a day while on vacation, Marriott has instituted new "Braincation Zones" at eight of their resorts across the Caribbean and Mexico. To encourage people to chill out, these tech-free destinations prohibit the use of anything with a plug or battery. And like any good behavioral psychologist knows, you can't expect people to go cold turkey, so they've added magazines, cucumber water and refreshing cool towels as swap-ins for anxious hands.
Perched on a hilltop overlooking Maine's Casco Bay, Chebeague Island Inn offers 21 individually designed and completely unplugged rooms with no televisions or land-line phones. With all your free time, you'll really be able to take in what Maine has to offer, including sunset cruises aboard schooners, island lobster bakes, deep-sea fishing trips, seal- and whale-watching excursions, sea kayaking adventures, and more.
It's Now Okay to Break These Health Rules

Farmers and ranchers from across the nation are still reeling from the worst drought in 50 years, but more bad news is on the horizon. According to the USDA, climate change could devastate the country's agricultural industry within the next century.
Published in two reports, one focused on agriculture and the other on forestry, climate change effects and adaptation strategies for both industries are outlined.
"These reports present the challenges that U.S. agriculture and forests will face in this century from global climate change," William Hohenstein, director of the Climate Change Program Office in USDA's Office of the Chief Economist, said in a news release issued on Tuesday. "They give us a framework for understanding the implications of climate change, in order to meet our future demands for food, feed, fiber, and fuel."
According to USA Today, the accelerating pace and intensity of climate change may be too much for the often-resilient industry to take.
"We're going to end up in a situation where we have a multitude of things happening that are going to negatively impact crop production," said Jerry Hatfield, a laboratory director and plant physiologist with USDA's Agricultural Research Service and lead author of the study. "In fact, we saw this in 2012 with the drought."
The USDA's report outlines how climate change will likely effect agriculture. During the next quarter-century, producers will adjust as the climate change dictates to ensure maximum profits and productivity, but by the latter half of the century adapting to climate change will be even more costly and difficult.
Crops aren't the only ones affected. Livestock will also be impacted by raising temperatures, which will hurt productivity and limit production.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie defensive end Da'Quan Bowers, who slid out of the first round of the NFL draft because of concerns about his surgically repaired right knee, says he's ready to compete.
"My knee is great," Bowers told WDAE-AM in Tampa. "It's back to where I needed it to be. You know, it's back to playing shape. I've been rehabbing and working out all throughout the whole summer, even through the lockout. The knee is fine. I'm running, cutting, jumping. Everything's a full go."
Once projected as a high first-round pick — perhaps as high as No. 1 overall — Bowers fell to the second round, where the Bucs took him with the 51st overall selection. He claims his knee injury is not degenerative, as some reports have claimed.
"That's not the case," Bowers said. According to Bowers, renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews told him that he "has seen (players with) much worse knees than mine that went on to have great careers in the NFL."
Bowers did not attend two player-only workouts organized by Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman or the recent NFL Players Association rookie symposium because, he said, he was preparing his body for the season.
"I didn't want to miss rehab and training," Bowers said. "You know, I thought that this was a crucial point coming, that the lockout may end in the next couple weeks. I didn't want to put myself behind in the great rehab program I have going for myself, so I decided to skip the symposium and the minicamp."
The Bucs are building what could potentially be one of the best young defensive lines in the league. Last year, they drafted tackles Gerald McCoy and Brian Price with their first two picks. This year, they took Iowa end Adrian Clayborn in the first round before selecting Bowers.

Medical Definition of PCR (polymerase chain reaction)
PCR (polymerase chain reaction): PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a technique in molecular genetics that permits the analysis of any short sequence of DNA (or RNA) even in samples containing only minute quantities of DNA or RNA. PCR is used to reproduce (amplify) selected sections of DNA or RNA for analysis. Previously, amplification of DNA involved cloning the segments of interest into vectors for expression in bacteria, and took weeks. But now, with PCR done in test tubes, it takes only a few hours. PCR is highly efficient so that untold numbers of copies can be made of the DNA.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

"Global warming in the coming years will foster public trauma, depression, violence, alienation, substance abuse, suicide, psychotic episodes, post-traumatic stress disorders and many other mental health-related conditions."
National Wildlife Federation convened a forum in March 2009 of professionals from the fields of psychology, mental health, national security, climate change science and policy to conduct an exploratory interdisciplinary assessment of the effects that global warming will have on the state of American public mental health and the practice and provision of mental services in the United States.
The forum sought to add information and context to an overlooked aspect of global climate change: the psychological and public mental health implications.
Download a copy of The Psychological Effects of Global Warming on the United States: And Why the U.S. Mental Health Care System is Not Adequately Prepared.
The resulting report and executive summary, drawing from a wide body of supplemental research, assesses:
Based on the recommendations of forum participants, leaders are calling for professionals in the mental health fields to focus on this, the social justice issue of all times, with their capacity to work through denial and apathy, to bring insight and commitment before it is too late.
NWF appreciates the support of the RWJ Foundation and to our forum participants.
We also note the sad death of forum participant and friend Dr. Jerilyn Ross. She added her characteristic straight talk, practical knowledge, and bright intellect to the discussion.

Martin not thinking about impending free agency
PITTSBURGH -- Russell Martin had a pretty short checklist when he showed up in Pittsburgh 21 months ago, and both items have been covered.
Help lead the Pirates back into the winner's circle? Check.
Re-establish my market value? Check.
Martin was refreshingly candid in November 2012, when he left the marquee Yankees to sign a two-year, $17 million contract with the Bucs, the richest they have ever given a free agent.
"I didn't want a long-term contract, especially coming off the season I had," Martin said at the time, when he was coming off hitting a career-low .211. "I feel I can play much better, improve myself, and go at [free agency] again in a couple of years."
That free agency is a couple of months away, and Martin, 31, is approaching it as a .290 hitter, and with his defensive reputation as gilded as ever.
There is a growing groundswell for the Pirates to re-sign him -- even though back in Spring Training manager Clint Hurdle all but anointed Tony Sanchez as his 2015 starter, and despite the likelihood that Martin has played himself out of the club's budget.
The catcher himself has not given this any thought yet.
"I'm here to play baseball," Martin said. "One game and one day at a time. And I kinda enjoy the process … Getting to that [free agent] status and seeing where it goes.
"I do absolutely love it here. I couldn't have made a better decision. I'm in a good place. We're in a good place."

The tri-five years have yielded some of the most coveted model year vehicles ever to be desired by automobile enthusiasts. They have been turned into hot rods, customs, and in the case of this mean machine, a killer Lowrider. Raymond Vega of Lompoc, CA., was one of these tri-five enthusiasts, and when the opportunity to purchase one presented itself, he jumped at the chance and snatched up this classic Chevy.
This self-contractor purchased the Bel Air as a survivor car, which he rebuilt in a five-year time period. With most of his work in the Los Angeles area, it was easy for Raymond to find the right body shops to hook up the '57. After talking to Javier a/k/a "Mexico" from Mexico Collision Center in South Gate, Raymond agreed to let the MCC crew get started on the project. The car was completely disassembled, as the team began the restoration by going over the light body work which had to be addressed in order to get the car back to its mint condition. With the car ready for paint, it was sprayed by master painter Javier, who shot the car in an original tone.
It was time to switch gears at this point in the build, and the frame and suspension were completely removed and shipped over to Chico from M&M Hydraulics of Ontario, CA. Chico sent the frame to the powder coat shop where the frame was coated in a protective coating of semi-gloss black. Chico then rebuilt the suspension with several parts bought from a few '57 outlets including Danchuck, Cars Inc., and everybody's favorite, the Pomona automotive swap meet! The engine was sent out to Raymond's buddy, Rene, of Goleta, CA., who detailed the stock 283. The rolling frame and engine were then reunited with the car's body, moving the project along closer to completion.
The Bel Air needed to have the refurbished trim which was finished by Universal Metal Plating of Azusa, CA., reattached in order to allow it to be sent to the interior shop. The interior was masterfully reworked by Adam, of Adam's Upholstery, who installed a Cars Inc. interior kit that matched the exterior. The interior boasted options which included an original Wonderbar radio, a compass, a plug in spotlight, and matching floor mats, keeping the original feel of the car intact. These were just a few of the options that were found and bought over the five year span of the build.
Raymond, who originally purchased the car from a retired CHP officer, was quick to let us know that he couldn't have put this car together without the help and support of his wife, who was there when he wasn't. This build is just the icing on the cake for Raymond, as now that it is complete, he can spend more time with his family and his car club, Los Angeles. He definitely represents the club with the class of a Lowrider and an unbelievably stylish car.

By Jaideep Varma and Jatin Thakkar
After a hard-fought T20 series, which ended in a shocking choke by the Kiwis from a winning position in the decider, the ODI series promised an interesting set of matches. The first match began well for New Zealand, as they scored 253 and had South Africa teetering at 35 for 3. But some individual brilliance from AB de Villiers' got them out of that hole however, and this time that appeared to be the defining blow. For the rest of the series, for the most part, South Africa called the shots quite comprehensively.
Here is an overview of the series through the Impact Index lens.
New Zealand captain and wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum was interestingly the highest-impact player in the series. His Batting IMPACT of 3.32 in the series (for his 56, 85 and 47) was second only to Amla's. McCullum absorbed considerable pressure in all the 3 matches as a batsman (which also gave him the highest Pressure IMPACT amongst all New Zealand batsmen). He had an IMPACT of 0.92 as a wicketkeeper…all of which eventually made him the only player to cross an IMPACT of 4 in the series.
To complement McCullum's excellence as a wicketkeeper-batsman, South African wicketkeeper AB de Villiers was the highest impact player for his team. Almost single-handedly, he won the first ODI for South Africa with the bat (106 off 106, IMPACT 8.06 – the highest impact batting performance in the series), and then produced neat finishing touches in the next two (unbeaten innings of 31 and 9). He had the highest Chasing/ Finishing IMPACT in the series as well as Pressure IMPACT (along with JP Duminy). His wicketkeeping IMPACT was a high 1.26 – and he was eventually also the only player in the series who had an all-round impact (an IMPACT of over 1 in any two functions). It eventually helped him register an IMPACT of 3.72 overall.
Morne Morkel achieved this identical impact of 3.72 just with the ball, which is what his 7 wickets at 12 at an economy of 4.7 translated to, in just two matches. It made him the highest impact bowler in the series, and the third-highest impact player of the series. The South African bowling had Tsotsobe (2.91), Kallis (1.83), Steyn (1.31) and Peterson (1.22) crossing an IMPACT of 1 for the series. Moreover, Morkel, Tsotsobe and Kallis had a 0% failure rate while bowling in all three matches.
Conversely, only two New Zealand bowlers managed to cross Bowling IMPACT of 1 in the series – KD Mills (1.22) and RJ Nicol (1.08) – a very telling picture for the series. Not a single Kiwi managed a 0% failure rate as a bowler (except Michael Bates, but he played only one match).
Hashim Amla's performances in the second game (92 off 117, IMPACT 5.97) and third game (76 off 89, IMPACT 5) while chasing, made him the highest impact batsman in the series from both sides (and the fourth-highest impact player of the series). He failed only once in his three matches and overall, registered an impact in all batting parameters – Strike Rate IMPACT, Pressure IMPACT, Partnership-building IMPACT and Chasing IMPACT. It was a complete batting performance by him in the series.
Jacques Kallis registered the highest Partnership Breaking IMPACT in the series. His efforts in the first match (dismissing McCullum at 137-3) and the second (Guptill at 131-2) were breakthroughs at crucial junctures, which had a noticeable impact in South Africa's fortunes in the series.
Marchant de Lange (4 for 46 in 9 overs, Bowling IMPACT 4.71) for South Africa and Colin de Grandhomme (36 off 36, IMPACT 2.73) for New Zealand made impressive debuts in the third match.
Eventually, amongst the top ten impact players of the series (minimum two matches), only two were New Zealanders. This dominance is reflected amply in the Team IMPACT numbers for the series too – 2.45 for South Africa. 1.50 for New Zealand. It was an unqualified thrashing.

Here they are. One Rear View shot and one Side View shot.
Both thrown with new 175 Pro Bosses.
Both went 400 feet and ended up within 15 feet of each other.
My main goal on these throws is to be smooth. Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast.
Right now im hitting 400 when throwing the disc flat and letting it fly on its on line.
Throwing power anhyzers or hyzer flip shots im over 500+.
My goal is to hit 600 on flex and flip shots. In order to do this, i will need to get my flat shots out towards 500 feet, with 500 feet being a goal.
Let me know anything you see, as I want to fix everything I can. One thing I am purposefully keeping away from is a true run up or hop start to try and get faster momentum. I know doing this will add about 50 feet (from when i do throw like this). I am trying to save this for last as its no good if my form/technique is hindered somewhere else. I should be able to get close to an additional 100 feet of distance without adding the run up, and this is my goal. It may be lofty, but im OCD enough to pull it off.
Let the Flaming Begin!
Both Videos shot using a Kodak Zi6. 720HD @ 30 FPS (I would have done 60 FPS, but the Zi6 starts to drop frames).

New For 2013
The Camaro LS, LT, and SS get new eighteen- and twenty-inch wheel designs, standard hill-start assist, and a ZL1-style shift knob on manual-equipped models. The SS can now be equipped with a dual-mode exhaust and the 1LE performance package. All V-8 models receive electric steering, revised rear suspension geometry, and a smaller steering wheel. The ZL1 is now available as a convertible.
Now in its third year, the Camaro is one of the most attractive vehicles to come out of the retro-design craze that swept through the industry in the past decade. Its taut, sleek body and muscular stance manage to evoke forty years of Camaro history yet look thoroughly modern. Unfortunately, it looks better than it performs; numb steering and a hefty curb weight mean that the Camaro is more of a Sunday cruiser than a corner carver. The ZL1 coupe and the new-for-2013 convertible help legitimize GM's pony car somewhat. Both are motivated by a 580-hp, 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 mated to a six-speed manual shifter or an optional six-speed automatic. They come with standard performance features such as magnetorheological dampers, the Performance Traction Management system from the Corvette ZR1, and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G:2 tires. The Camaro SS—now with electric steering—can be fitted with the new 1LE package that adds a full range of performance add-ons, including larger antiroll bars and retuned dampers. Unfortunately, the interior is a mixed bag. The overall look is fairly convincing, but inconsistent fit and finish and some clumsy ergonomics lag behind the competition. Despite that, if you are looking for style with heritage and tons of street presence, nothing in this class does it better than the Camaro.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags are standard, along with ABS, traction and stability control, and a tire-pressure monitoring system. A backup camera and rear-mounted parking sensors are optional.
You'll like:
- 1LE performance package
- ZL1 nudges Corvette
You won't like:
- Heavy
- Interior quality and style
Key Competitors For The 2013 Chevrolet Camaro

Sum Up
Looks better than it performs, except for the supercharged ZL1.

The new property tax assessments for Philadelphia will be sent out in February. This is one-step in the city's effort to more accurately tax residential and commerical properties. Over the past decades, inequities became apparent that included many of the city's poorest residents paying taxes at a higher rate.
A new report from PEW's Philadelphia Research Initiative documents many of the current tax system's biggest problems.
Among the key findings of this report:
A central reason why the city's assessment system has become plagued with inequities is that the state does not regulate it. Pennsylvania is one of only nine states that impose no reassessment timetables or standard assessment methods on local governments.
One reason Philadelphians have been relatively complacent about longstanding inequities in assessments, analysts say, is that they pay less in property taxes (and more in wage taxes) than residents of many other jurisdictions.

The Charleston Science Walk takes you past some important and interesting homes and churches in the Holy City once occupied by individuals (many trained as physicians) not usually mentioned on conventional city tours. All played critical parts in the Charleston's scientific community which started with Hannah Williams in the early 1700's and continues to the present day with the award of a Nobel Laureate in Medicine to Dr. Robert F. Furchgott in 1998.
Charleston's interest in the sciences was demonstrated in 1748 when a group of citizens appointed a "special committee for collecting materials for promoting a Natural History of the province" and organized the Charleston Library Society.
In 1822, Thomas Cooper, professor of Chemistry and Mineralogy at the South Carolina College (Columbia) gave a boost to the city's small scientific community when he agreed with a suggestion of local physicians that a school of medicine should be established in South Carolina. Cooper forcefully pointed out the desirability of establishing a medical college to the medical board of Columbia, but it was a petition to the State Legislature that called for the incorporation of a medical college in Charleston with the power to grant degrees that prompted its founding in 1825.
Members of the faculty of the Medical College of South Carolina over the past two centuries have taken a serious interest in the study of botany, chemistry, entomology, icthyology, mineralogy, and zoology. Their residences, although now occupied by others, still stand unmarked on many city streets, linking us with those men and women who made important contributions to the advancement of science in Charleston, South Carolina, the South, and the Nation.

Post your week here!
Post your week here!
Well, I was supposed to run that 10,000m to qualify for the JC State Meet. Didn't happen. Don't want to re-type the story now, but here's what I posted on facebook. blah. Hope everyone else had a better week!
Well, it seems that my time running for SRJC is sadly at an end. Apparently, while there is no rule about it on the official CCCAA ByLaws online (at least as of this morning), it is against those bylaws (or some official addendum in the last 12 months that isn't to be found on the CCCAA website) to run unattached during the season. Thus, my participation at the community 3,200m at the Viking Open made me ineligible for the postseason. Even better, we were told of this after arriving in Sac last night for this morning's 10,000m NorCal race (where I was seeded #1), where I had the chance to get an SRJC BearCub onto the state meet.
One of the great things about our sport is people are rarely petty and rarely go out of their way to screw with others for no real reason. We all understand the toils and tribulation of our fellow athletes and support each other as we compete both against each other but even more-so against ourselves. Unfortunately, stuff like this does happen on occasion, but so it goes. There are always more races, and while I won't have the chance to make some noise at the JC State Meet for Coach Wellman and the rest of SRJC, I certainly appreciate the awesome opportunity I had these past few months.
That being said, if anyone knows who went out of their way to email in this apparent (I say apparent as no one has yet given us an official rule chapter/verse that I broke) infraction, please tell them to publicly let me know who they are and why they did what they did. If it's a rule, it's a rule, I understand, but the least s/he can do is explain that to me face to face.
That stinks, rfl.
W- 1 mile running (10:53), about 2 miles slowly on a fixie bike
Th- abs/shoulders/ leg weights class with brief exercise bike warm-up
F- 1.1 miles (9:49 pace)
Sa- 0.25 miles running (? 10:00 pace) to warm up 100 elementary school kids, and later 2 miles of walking (15:00 pace)
Su- untimed 5 K fun run at local running store in 23:21 (7:32, 7:45, 7:22, 7:01), including consuming of chips and salsa around mile 1.8 in honor of Cinco de Mayo.
Total: 5.45 miles running.
Weekly low in the past year+. Legs felt back on track today after a pretty tired week.
This was the biggest mileage week I have done in several years, yet I had no workout and everything was at a very relaxed pace with exception of the 6x15 sec. strides on Friday. I actually did not feel so well early in the week, but felt better each day. I had been feeling run down and mileage does not seem to bother me, but running daily runs too fast + hard workouts, so I took a week off from doing all of that and going forward am going to return to running easy runs sans Garmin, as I run at a more appropriate speed for my fitness without that thing.
Mon – AM: 5 easy w/big dog; PM: 30 min. core work
Tue – 7 easy
Wed – AM: 60 min. BodyPump class; PM: 4 easy inc. 2 w/big dog and 2 w/little dog

Sat – AM: 60 min. BodyPump class; PM: 5 easy w/big dog
Sun – Long 14.25 mile run inc. first half hilly, second half flat
Total Miles: 55.25; Other: 2x60 min. BodyPump Class + 1x30 min. core work
runnerforlife - so sorry to hear about the glitch that prevented you from racing. It sounds like you have a solid perspective and I hope things work out in the future.
obtuse - The thought of consuming the chips and salsa mid-race makes me feel like . Glad to hear your legs are feeling better!
Another good mileage week for me with 76 miles. Included a 5k race today (18:42) and a light workout of a handful of 200's on Wed. Body's holding up pretty good ... Now have a few weeks till Marin 10K. Focus on keeping mileage strong with some light 600, 800 and 1000 workouts.
rfl86 - so sorry that you didn't get the chance to air it out one more time on the track for srjc. No doubt disappointing, stay positive young man. Next chapter up ...
That is just so wrong Rfl86.
Great week Radi and NC!
And obtuse - I'm with Radi on this one! Chips & salsa during a race - the thought of it makes my stomach hurt.
Good week with a great ending for me!
Th - SRD

Fri - 9.60 miles
Sat - 2.75 miles
Sun - 28.55 miles (OC Marathon - 26.45 miles - 3:45:01 plus 2.10 miles). Paced 3:45:00 group but I had it 1.45 miles between the Mile 25 marker and the finish line. Not the optimal place to have the most off mile marker of the entire course. The other 3:45 pacer and I literally hit the brakes when we hit the 25 mile marker so we wouldn't finish at 3:43 only for the Mile 26 marker to take its sweet a$$ time before appearing and then it was one second too late for me to compensate and the other 3:45 pacer was right behind me at the finish, six seconds later.
TOTAL = 73.50 miles and no frigging crosstraining. Still, my best mileage week in the last eight weeks and 3:45:01 felt almost effortless today compared to 3:44:09 at L.A. feeling like death was coming over me for the final 7 miles of the race).

Last January, we had a big milestone in our house — we took Vivienne to see her first movie in a movie theatre.
I was really sweating this whole escapade. A LOT. My husband and I are movie buffs, and both of us work in entertainment. So we wanted to make a big deal out of this experience, and give it a kind of weight that would make it truly special. Other moms in my little group of friends were starting to take their children to the movies (they were all around the same age — 2 and a half), and most of them were going to see The Muppets, since it was still in theatres at the time. I didn't want to take Vivi to something we hadn't seen yet — I wasn't interested in having an unexpected scare or surprise, if you know what I'm talking about.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
We got lucky — it just so happened that a local theatre was doing a Miyazaki celebration, and one of the films featured was My Neighbor Totoro. We are huge Miyazaki fans, and Vivi loves Totoro, so we thought that would be the perfect choice, a perfect indoctrination into the wonders of seeing something on the big screen. In fact, it was her first film that we watched at home, (followed by the documentary Babies, in case you are looking for a great toddler friendly movie), so we knew what to expect from it, and felt that it would be nice and familiar.
I couldn't have been more pleased with how it all went. Vivi brought her stuffed Totoro to the theatre, and when we got there, we found that we weren't the only ones sporting one. People wore their Totoro tee shirts, back packs, and brought their stuffed soot sprites. When the opening titles came up, everyone clapped and cheered — and the whole audience sang the opening theme, "Hey! Let's Go!" It was just a wonderful experience.
I called my parents to ask them what my first movie in an honest to God theatre was… and THEY COULD NOT REMEMBER. I was kind of annoyed! And it made me think — am I annoyed because I'm a little nuts about stuff like this? (This is not an unfamiliar feeling when dealing with my parents.) Or is it because I'm a super geek about movies and television? As geek parents, there are certain things that we chew on and obsess over, perhaps more than other people do.
So I got to wondering about all the other geek parents out there — what were your firsts? Do you remember what movie you first saw in a movie theatre? What was the first movie that you took your first child to? What was your first date or first movie you saw with your spouse? (Mine is Apollo 13.)
And more to the point… I'd really love to hear if you obsessed about this first movie experience as much as I did!

text: I would really like to pick up a pair of chelsea boots, but I can't figure out whether to get brown or black. My typical look is a somewhat dark (but more faded toward the knees) pair of Levi 501's and a casual collared shirt, usually some shade of blue. I also recently picked up a nice black shirt and another turquoise shirt that I would maybe like to match with the boots. Usually I wear a pair of Chuck Taylors or a pair of suede Adidas tennis shoes, but I want to get just a little bit dressier. Right now I'm leaning toward black, not shiny of course. I've done a bit of research about whether black shoes goes with jeans at all, but I'm getting mixed signals. Some say it is a fasion faux pas and jeans should be worn with brown shoes (in which case I should pick up the brown chelsea boots). Others disagree. What are some thoughts on this?

The city's stance on Hillview Community Center as a possible school site hasn't changed, according to a member of the Los Altos City Council.
Councilwoman Megan Satterlee told Los Altos School District board trustees Tammy Logan and Doug Smith that the city isn't interested in discussing Hillview as a future school site when other options still remain open to the district.
"We've had this conversation multiple times and nothing's changed," said Satterlee, who added that she simply doesn't see a "win-win" for the city and district.
Satterlee later added that she "still thinks there are options out there that don't impact a community resource," noting that the "threshold" to start conversations about a school site remains a stated assurance that the district will not exercise eminent-domain rights on city property.
The statements came after Smith and Logan told Satterlee and Mayor Jarrett Fishpaw during a Nov. 19 school district-city subcommittee meeting that the district was still interested in exploring a partnership on the site. Smith also broached the subject of a partnership recently during a joint meeting of the Los Altos and Los Altos Hills councils. Councilmembers from both cities discussed a possible alliance to jointly fund a new community center on the Hillview site.
Shared use of Rosita Park?
Reached by the Town Crier, Smith noted that the district remains interested in a "collaborative dialogue about how the interests of all parties might be served best."
"I'm disappointed in Councilwoman Satterlee's position, but it's definitely not new," Smith stated in an email to the Town Crier. "She has said that she doesn't think there is a win-win scenario, but I'm not sure how she can say that since we haven't explored anything yet."
Smith noted that the district isn't interested in giving up its eminent-domain rights because it would likely drop the issue of Hillview if joint discussions with the city go nowhere.
"I don't think it's appropriate for any government entity to require a person or agency to waive rights before seeing how they might work together to serve the community," he added.
Instead, Satterlee said the city is more amenable to discussing a "shared use" of Rosita Park if the district exhausts all other school site options. Specifically, Satterlee told Smith and Logan that the district would need to create a proposal that includes the amount of parkland needed to build a school, proposed shared-use guidelines and an idea of which amenities would stay or go, among other details.
Satterlee later told the Town Crier that while the council hadn't discussed specifics regarding the Rosita site, she believes it would ultimately seek an arrangement that "results in no loss of total land ownership for the city."
"The reason Rosita is top of mind is because the field and parking lot at Rosita are not generally scheduled or in high use during the school day, making a shared-use arrangement workable," she noted in an email, while also citing traffic flow concerns around the area as sticking points. "We have also invested a considerable amount in a class (I) pathway that accesses the backside of the Covington site (adjacent to the park)."
Smith said he believes that the district will bring proposals on the park to the city in the future. At the same time, he noted concern that potential talks between Los Altos and Los Altos Hills to rebuild the community center would leave the district out in the cold.
"We should be evaluating all options in parallel," he said, "not single-streaming them in a way that one group thinks is most optimized for their particular view."


text: Garrison restarts his climb up WVU ladder By Dave Hickman March 27, 2013 Story Share MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Dustin Garrison doesn't feel like a new man these days, and that's a good thing.After all, there was really nothing wrong with the old Dustin Garrison, right?He was the guy who as a true freshman in 2011 led West Virginia in rushing. He ran for 742 yards that season, which wasn't just the best performance among a group of five backs - Garrison, Andrew Buie, Shawn Alston, Vernard Roberts and Trey Johnson - who all began the season on fairly equal terms, it was more than the other four combined.He was the guy who against Bowling Green ran for 233 yards. In the first half. By game's end he had 291, a number surpassed by only one other college football player that season.The trouble is, he was also the guy who, about 10 minutes after the Mountaineers arrived in South Florida to begin practicing for an Orange Bowl date against Clemson, blew out his knee.That was 15 months ago, almost to the day. Since then, Garrison has seldom thought about playing on a new knee.He just yearns to be playing on the old one again."Just to be able to do the things I used to be able to do, that's what I've worked for,'' Garrison said. "I want to be able to go out there and not even think about the fact that my knee was hurt. I want to get to the point where it doesn't seem like anything ever happened.'' Finally, he's getting close.Through the first two weeks of West Virginia's spring practices, Garrison seldom has even thought about the knee. He no longer wears the knee brace that he absolutely hated. He doesn't walk off the field after practice and think about the hours he's going to have to spend in treatment because he doesn't spend hours there anymore.In other words it's completely different from the entire 2012 season, during which he tried to adopt that mindset but couldn't get his body to cooperate."That was the toughest part,'' Garrison said. "In my mind I was ready to get back out there, but my body still had a little catching up to do. That was tough for me.''It wasn't that Garrison didn't try. He sat out only the first two games of the season, then played 10 straight before sitting out the Pinstripe Bowl. But he never carried the ball more than nine times in a game and never gained more than the 54 yards he got against Kansas State midway through the season. He also caught four passes for 30 yards that night against the Wildcats and it seemed, at least temporarily, as if he might be on the right track. But then he carried the ball just 20 more times the rest of the season.That still grates on him. "The last maybe three games is when I started feeling a hundred percent,'' Garrison said. "But I still wasn't getting the amount of reps or playing time I wanted.''That's understandable, though. Consider that those last three games were against Oklahoma, when Tavon Austin became the feature back and ran for a school-record 344 yards; at Iowa State in frigid temperatures when the bullish Alston was the back of choice; and Kansas, when the Mountaineers did whatever they wanted offensively and Buie ran for 100 yards.The point is, by the end of the season West Virginia had already gotten used to playing without Garrison and had developed other options. It was just bad timing that Garrison found himself healthy and feeling good at precisely the point the team didn't really much need him.That, however, might have been the best thing that could have happened in Garrison's recovery - not physically, but mentally.Think of it this way: When Garrison was running for all those yards as a true freshman, it was as an underdog. He began the season third or fourth on the depth chart and had to compete like crazy just to get a chance to show what he could do. And after going through a season in which he was pushed into the background because of his knee and watched as others passed him by, he's really not in a much different position as he heads into 2013.He's going to have to prove himself all over again, a detail made even more significant by the fact that he's now playing for a new running backs coach, JuJuan Seider, to whom he has to prove himself all over again. So 15 months after that knee injury, Garrison is running without a brace and not even thinking about the cuts that were once natural to him and trying to make them so again. He's added 10 pounds to the 175 at which he played last season.And instead of feeling like a new man, he's feeling like that old one again, the one who had to prove himself."I need to play like I did as a freshman, with a chip on my shoulder,'' Garrison said. "And with the way last season went, that shouldn't be hard. I can use that as motivation.''Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

top work guys...

[U] Wannabee Geek ... :cool: [/U]
Hmmm..... cant help noticing the VMWare server running......
Kind of have to wonder if any of my work on it has led to it being on there.
Would be cool if it was a contribution I made to the community that has also led to it being a part of the new BT3
But then it is probably just my ego getting the better of me.
Compiz won't be added to the code BT3 cd, but will be offered on a DVD (?) version or as optional modules for download.
Vmware 6.0.1 installs perfectly on the new kernel, no any-any patches required. This is DEFINITELY the most stable and impressive version of BT yet to come out...w00t!
Oh well, I guess that's that dream shattered, but there you go.
I know it's going to be just too kewl.
many-thanx for your work!
bt will remain the security-distro number one on the world..
Excellent jobs everyone! The BT series have long been my favorite distro since day one. Love your ideas and creativity! Cant wait to play with it.
This is definitely the best news in a long time! Keep up the hard work, here´s a lot of people who really do respect what you do and we all do enjoy the fruits of your work!
Can´t wait to get my little dirty hands on bt3
Do I dare to ask, which kernel bt3 will include?
Learn to live, but live to learn, eh?

Difficult DannyMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
Difficult Danny has acquired his nickname (and some other, less polite nicknames) due to the fact that, whenever he buys anything, he insists upon paying the exact amount, with precisely 100 pieces of currency. Danny walks into McArnold's and orders an iced coffee for $1.99. He pours 100 coins onto the counter, using some number (possibly zero) of each of the following: pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters. There are equal, non-zero quantities of dimes and quarters. What is the breakdown of coins that Difficult Danny used to pay for his iced coffee?
(See hint for currency values.)
HintPenny = $0.01
Nickel = $0.05
Dime = $0.10
Quarter = $0.25
Answer94 pennies, 0 nickels, 3 dimes, and 3 quarters.

By now, I'm sure you've heard that you are supposed to be eating whole grains every day to reduce your risk factors for heart disease and cancer. How much and what type vary, but the message is the same: eating more whole grains and less refined grains is good for your health.
But did you know that the grain as a whole is better for you than eating the parts separately? Studies have shown that certain phytochemicals are released from the grain structure when the grain is processed to remove parts (1). While times are certainly changing, some companies purchase the white flour to bake bread and add a portion of bran back into the bread to make wheat bread. It looks like whole grain bread, but it's not and it will not help your heart.
Be sure to check the labels on the wheat bread you are buying for the terms "whole grain wheat" and/or the Whole Grain Stamp from the Whole Grains Council. Some bread makers that we love for their superb bread and honest ingredients are Dave's Killer Bread, Oroweat and Silver Hills Bakery.
