167g Star Leopard
167g Star Eagle Go to driver.
172g Champ Eagle L
Have always thrown fairways and not really noticed any gain in going faster. For the courses I play, faster drivers aren't really necessary. Have had teebirds but have always seemed to go back to eagles. This area isn't a concern to me as much as the mids/putters are.
175g Recycled Fuse
175?g Gold line Fuse (before they stamped weight so unsure there) Flippy disc. Useful utility to get around stuff.
171g Opto Core
167g Gold Mace
Have been through the phases of mids. Buzz/Wasp and then most recently rocs. Decided to go Lat. Had experience with the fuse in the past so added a new one, an opto core and gold mace. Seems like go to is fuse. Mace is used a bit for getting around hard hyzers but really isn't growing on me much. Was thinking of replacing it with my trusty old Ti Wasp. Core is nice, but I've found myself going entire rounds without even thinking of throwing it. For the shot it'd be used I will grab the fuse and release w/ some hyzer and let it flip straight before fading.
Do you think its really necessary to have a overstable/straight/understable lineup like most? Would an understable/overstable only combo hurt?
175g McPro Aviar Putting only
174g Soft Wizard Driving/approaching
174g Zero Hard Sinus
Not sure I need the Sinus. I like it a lot but doesn't really seem like there is a demand for its use.

Reviews for Cherry Puddles Cake
Average Rating
Reviewed Apr. 19, 2011
"I used the recipe for Cherry Puddles cake as the basis for my "Citrus Orange cake."In place of egg substitute I used 3 whole eggs, because I had them on hand already. I didn't have buttermilk, so I used regular. I added 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, instead of 1. The biggest change was that I added about ¾ cup of orange pulp(made by grating several sliced oranges) to the batter.Instead of putting cherry pie filling on the top of the cake I made a glaze out of confectioners sugar and some juice from a jar of maraschino cherries.The cake was deliciously awesome!"

Re: Korean Tea Festival
Maybe it is good for beginners or tourists who want a quick and easy contact with the culture of Korea. Big productions are very standard commercial space. If we do not want drink tea, we can choose other atractions. Of course, we should appreciate the preparation - a very good infrastructure, a rich program, it is very well organized event. Generous sponsors, large expenditures, funding of culture and tourism ministry are visible.

Three trans tales of transition
Three transgender advocates speak up about the process of changing their gender, privately and publically.
A practical joke that nearly killed Jessica McGuinness ultimately saved her life.
It happened in 2005 when Jesse, as she was then known, was on a camping trip with some friends in West Virginia. As they were walking across a bridge at night, Jesse tried to hide behind a shack at the other end to jump out and scare them as they approached. Just step into position around the side of the shack and ... Wait, what's going on? There's nothing here!
Now in feet-first free fall, nothing registers but dropping into a black abyss. Four-and-a-half-metres later and SLAM! - a crash onto rocks and then an out-of-control tumble down another 15 feet of rocky hillside until, finally, it ends with a jarring THUMP! onto a large boulder halfway submerged in water.
Against all odds, not least of which was being a haemophiliac, Jesse survived and contemplated the near-death experience while recuperating at home in Dormont from a broken ankle, dozens of facial and head wounds and internal bleeding.
There was physical pain from those injuries, to be sure, but also flaring were psychic wounds Jesse had held close for 30 years - the wounds of living as a man while being a woman at her essence.
"I should have died under that bridge," Jesse realised. "And if I had, I wouldn't have liked the person I was." Coming so close to losing an intolerable life spurred a realisation: Jesse had to die in the darkness of that night so Jessica could be born in the light of day.
With that 2005 epiphany, Jessica McGuinness began her transition from male to female, from self-loathing to self-actualisation. Now, 38, she is gregarious, self-deprecating and self-assured - the polar opposite of the shy, depressed, confused Jesse. No photographs remain of that life - both she and her mother threw out all of reminders of Jesse, choosing instead to focus solely on Jessica.
But raw memories remain of the gender confusion that began at age 5, of the pain and isolation, of the prayers to "make this go away" while watching the freak-show mistreatment of transgender persons on TV shows such as Geraldo and Sally Jesse Raphael.
Adrift, alienated and alone, Jesse barely graduated from high school, last in a class of 181. And then began the self-medicating to stop the emotional pain - marijuana, LSD and alcohol until age 22, and then solely alcohol.
In Jesse's mid-20s, he became an emergency medical technician, but continued to drink alone on off days. After the accident, counselling and hormone therapy brought stability. Jessica's bleeding disorder and the prohibitive cost made sex reassignment surgery virtually impossible, but she nevertheless found an "inner peace" that Jesse had never experienced.
She came out to family and friends, who were accepting and supportive, but for four years hid Jessica from her EMS co-workers, finding many of them unsympathetic to transgender patients. Mortified that she had stood silent so long, she wrote an impassioned four-page post for a work Facebook page, laying bare her heart, her hurt and her rebirth while addressing the "ignorance" of those who had referred to transgender patients by dehumanising terms such as "'freaks,' 'it,' or 'he/she.'"
"We call you for help, not judgement. And most of all, we are your friends, your co-workers, your siblings and your children. If you do not accept me and feel that you can't talk to me anymore, that's fine. All I ask is that you respect me as a co-worker and a fellow EMT."
She was happily shocked by the response - overwhelmingly apologetic, supportive and admiring of her courage. "To lay it all bare like this is an incredible testament to your desire to be appreciated for who you really are. Bravo," one wrote.
Her post became a chapter in the 2010 book American Heroes: Coming Out From Behind the Badge: Stories From Police, Fire, And EMS Professionals 'Out' On The Job. She became a transgender advocate, regularly working for transgender groups, telling her story and serving on discussion panels, including those for second-year medical students.
Her message: treat everyone with dignity, respect, human kindness.
"Some people see us as mentally ill. I was mentally ill; I'm cured now. I don't have those gender issues anymore," she says. "Now I'm just a regular, boring person with everyday life problems like everyone else."
Unable to work now as an EMT because of ankle problems, she is a clinical specialist at the Pitt Men's Study, a 30-year-old cohort study at the University of Pittsburgh. In her off hours, she is a self-proclaimed "geek girl" obsessed with superhero comics - Ms. Marvel's lightning bolt is tattooed on her ankle - and role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons.
Other transgender people seek her company and counsel. Among them last year was Sarah Parlow, also 38 and a transgender female whose journey was as different from Jessica's as it was similar.
Sarah had a fulfilling life in Austin, Texas, with a good job in the medical field and good friends. But last fall, wanting to be nearer to family, she moved to Pittsburgh, landed a job at a local hospital and sought out members of the transgender community so she could do some advocacy work.
She Googled "Transgender Pittsburgh" and one of the first results to appear was Jessica, whose activism had gained her prominence. They met for coffee at Crazy Mocha in Shadyside in October and quickly hit it off as friends. For two hours the women discussed transgender issues, advocacy and their individual paths to transitioning.
Like Jessica, Sarah had known from a very young age she was female-gendered and felt isolated and alone. But unlike Jessica, she acted to affirm her true gender at a much younger age and now has been post-transition for more than half her life.
To affirm her true gender identity, Sarah knew she had to leave her hometown of Erie, Pa., where life for a gender nonconforming person in a relatively small town was intolerable because of bullying. Moreover, her family was ill-equipped to deal with her obvious yet unspoken assertions of femininity, choosing instead to overlook them.
So it was off to the University of Pittsburgh. In her freshman year she sought out the Persad Centre, which serves the region's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. There, amid tears, she verbalised for the first time she was female-gendered. Finally, she had the resources to help her claim that.
Counselling and hormone replacement followed. Being young and androgynous to begin with, blending in with other females her age was fairly easy.
"Unfortunately, in society, blending is considered a better sign of success," the Shadyside resident notes, sunglasses perched atop her copper red hair. "Blending can be a blessing. Twenty years ago, the environment was different for trans people. Safety and access to certain privileges could be compromised if you were openly trans. Some of that persists today, but it only changes by people coming forward, being visible and demanding change."
Friends and family couldn't believe how much she had "blossomed" from a socially awkward, isolated soul, but Sarah realised that physically transitioning was only the beginning. There was no guidebook for the path that awaited.
"Now you're navigating the nuances of life, navigating relationships, the social situations, what you might run into at work, how much do you disclose, to whom and when. It's so far-reaching." Sarah took a break from studies in 1997 to move out West with a friend to focus on and complete her transition.
Living away from home afforded her anonymity and a much more liberal environment. Following sex reassignment surgery, she went on to earn two bachelor's degrees and a master's degree in nursing. She moved back to Shadyside to see how she could support and share with others in the trans community.
Educating the general public is key. "You have to connect with the person, not the perception," she notes. "It's too easy to stop at the word transgender and tune out.
"We're your neighbours, your friends, your co-workers, your sisters, your brothers and we have our own place in existence. Honour the person and see the glory in everybody. I think people will be surprised by how much we can add to their existence by adjusting their ideas of what gender is."
Moreover, she says, the paradigm that gender is defined primarily by body parts is antiquated and "the new paradigm is that, we, as people, define who we are. We manifest our destinies."
She told Jessica that she wanted to get involved in transgender advocacy in Pittsburgh. And that's how Jessica introduced her to Rayden Sorock.
Perhaps it's fitting that someone who promotes gardens in nontraditional spaces as Rayden Sorock does would also be someone who plants seeds of understanding and acceptance of transgender people. As community garden coordinator for Grow Pittsburgh, Rayden demonstrates, teaches and promotes sustainable urban agriculture. And as a transgender man and activist, Rayden demonstrates, teaches and promotes the fact there is nothing mystifying about someone identifying with a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth.
"Gender stereotypes hurt everyone, including non-trans people," says Rayden, 27. "We need people to know there are trans folks with families and we are in all levels of society and come from all kinds of backgrounds. I also feel personally kind of rankled sometimes by the idea that the whole point of trans-activism is to kind of show that we are normal."
Growing up in suburban Boston, Rayden felt anything but normal as a teenager. "I was a big tomboy, kind of a weirdo, shy and awkward and really depressed and hated myself. I knew I was different and wanted to change things. By the end of high school, I really knew that being gay and being a girl really wasn't everything I needed to be."
Rayden transitioned while at Purchase College in New York, taking testosterone and eventually having chest reconstruction surgery, known in the transgender community as "top surgery," paid for by his parents. "I'm slowly paying it forward making donations to other folks getting chest surgery," he says.
A 2008 magna cum laude literature graduate, Rayden speaks with passion, intensity and insight about transgender and related causes but is not devoid of a sense of humour. Engage him in a conversation and there's no getting around the fact he thinks deeply about many issues, resolved and otherwise.
For example, he feels the strength of transgender advocacy is allying itself with "many other causes around economics and racial disparities and sex-worker rights and the prison-industrial system. I think we need a lot of different issue areas to come together so it's not just about identity politics in order to make sure we do not leave people behind because the gay rights movement has often left trans people behind in moving forward."
Moreover, he seems conflicted about "passing," or blending in, as a man. "It's a major privilege to pass. It's also alienating and confusing and it's great and it's challenging," he says. Being transgender "is my life and my story, and I can choose how I want to share and to whom, but there are a lot of people who don't have the luxury of passing."
On a philosophical level, he wonders if the changes and growth he's experienced over the past decade were solely because of his transition or because of the human experiences of 10 more years of living life. "One of the biggest changes I've experienced over the past 10 years is I'm continually transitioning. I don't hold myself to rigid standards of what it means to be a man or what it means to be a trans person. "I don't think I've crossed over and am on this other side. I think there's this myth that people transition and then they're like another person. We are all changing."

I'm arguing with my mother. I don't remember why, but I think it may be related to my grandfather's death. The family had decided not to tell me about it even after it happened. She is surprisingly not being stubborn at all and tries to make some kind of concession for me to end the fight. I latch onto like one little thing she said in her request to end the fight and I completely lose my mind, throwing some object against the wall and yelling "screw you!!!!" or cursing in some other way. I can tell she's starting to become really sad.
I'm in another room. I start realizing what I had done and how childish and immature it was. I realize that it is night time and that my Mom is going to go to bed sad. I realize how many times I've forced her to do this in the past, how badly she wanted to end the fight, and how cruel it was to do this to her intentionally. I start feeling absolutely terrible.
The next morning I awaken and I still feel guilty. I go into the kitchen and my mother is there with my brother. She seems fine and they aren't paying much attention to me.
The next part of the dream is in the third person. There's a city that's under attack by some kind of giant. The giant is weird in that he's not incredibly monstrous in his appearance (aside from his size) - he looks kind of like "Mack" from UniLodge. He's a white, surfer/skater-ish looking guy with shaggy brown hair. He's a good looking dude. I don't remember what kind of havoc he is wreaking but I know that he has a girlfriend and I'm not sure if she's a giant too or not.
At one point, I notice another giant appear in the city and see that he is way bigger than the first giant. In fact, the dream highlights the size difference by zooming out and showing the first giant from a distance looking not too much taller than a normal person (because of the distance zoomed out) while the second giant is like Godzilla compared to the first giant. The first giant tries to go through a fence with a lock and ends up in some desert-like area.
The first giant starts chasing something. It might be the second giant and it might also be a raptor. Batman then starts chasing the first giant. Batman is either now a giant himself or is riding some huge creature. The first giant is known to be faster than Batman, but Batman has a trick. Somehow he knows that if the first giant is chasing something else, Batman will eventually be able to catch up to him. Batman slowly starts to gain on the first giant and eventually smashes him under the foot of whatever he's riding. A narrative then occurs, saying that he moved to the side of the road to avoid "further smudging".
I'm in a group of Asian people sitting around and asking some guy questions. It seems like a seminar or some kind of presentation. And now we are on the question portion of whatever it was. One guy asks a question, and the presenter/speakers says "so basically what you're saying is that you can't really have fun without alcohol?" and the other guy says yes. I realize that many others in the crowd have this problem as well.
There is a method for studying/learning called "The Duc Method" or "The Duke Method". The slogan for it is "If you want to learn anything". I'm in the rain on my laptop trying to use The Duc Method to study. I re-angle myself a few times to avoid the rain. I then have some weird experience where I realize that the Duc Method is a real study method (though it's actually not) and I realize that I'm doing it right then and there. I think it involved "thinking around" something or "thinking in proximity" to something. I see a visualization of it, which is like a giant red sphere, with me studying next to it, and then more spheres. And then there's like an outer layer of this as well. It's very hard to describe but basically I see the whole concept converted into a visual form right in front of me.

Tom Izzo is happy.
"The thing that really concerns me," Crean said, "is how excited it seems Michigan State is."
Crean and Izzo go way back. Crean has Izzo's top assistant coach in the late 1990s before taking over at Marquette and, later, Indiana. He knows Izzo's moods about as well as he knows his own.
"I'm used to Tom Izzo and it's gloom and doom," Crean said. "It's the sky is falling. He's only happy when he's miserable."
Except the rules appear to have changed. Misery has disappeared from the Izzo playbook given the No. 13 Spartans' six-game winning streak that has pushed it to the top of the Big Ten standings with a 6-1 record, 17-3 overall, entering Sunday's Assembly Hall showdown. They are playing as if they mean business, with rib-rocking defense, efficient offense and the usual control-the-boards menace.
Today at Assembly Hall the No. 7 Hoosiers (17-2) will try to change that. They and No. 2 Michigan (18-1) are right behind in the league standings at 5-1.
"I'm reading some of the comments coming out of Michigan that those guys are really ready to play," Crean said. "That's nerve wracking — when Tom is really looking forward to a game. His team is in a great frame of mind. We're going to really have to play well."
The odds makers apparently figure they will. IU is a double-digit favorite.
Crean and Izzo have known each other since the late 1980s, and are as good a friends as you'll see in the coaching profession. Since Crean took over at Indiana in the spring of 2008 they've played each other six times. Izzo has a 5-1 edge.
"I don't enjoy going against somebody I have that much history with and that much of a friendship with," Crean said. "I do enjoy going against great coaches, getting your team going against a team that's so good. You have to have a strategy for everything. You know he does.
"In a perfect you wouldn't play you're closest friends, but I've got two brother in laws (San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh and Baltimore coach John Harbaugh) getting ready to play against each other (in the Super Bowl). That's a pretty good world. It is what it is. We'd better be on top on our game."
That top includes getting physical. The Spartans are known for their rugged style that emphasizes rebounding and transition.
"We've got to do our work early," forward Christian Watford said about dealing with all the banging sure to come. "Make their catches tough. Try to deny them as much as possible. Keep them off the glass.
"We've got to move. Try to wear them down, like we always do."
Michigan State has impressive inside size with 6-9, 270-pound Derrick Nix and 6-10, 240-pound Adreian Payne. How will the Hoosiers deal with that?
"We won't go one on one with them all the time," Watford said. "It has to be a team effort. If we get five guys in there rebounding, we'll be all right. We'll get a majority of the 50-50 balls."
Michigan State is thriving everywhere it goes. In the last week it beat Ohio State 59-56 at home and Wisconsin 49-47 on the road.
"I don't always feel like a (17-3) team," Izzo said, "but we're finding ways to win. We're doing some good things."
Turnovers were an early Michigan State problem. It had four games with at least 19 turnovers. In Big Ten play, however, the Spartans average 11.3 (three below their season average). In the last six games, it's 10.8.
"Look at our turnovers," Izzo said. "They've been cut (darn) near in half compared to the early season. Now we're getting more guys playing better. We're playing with more energy. That's made the difference in why we're better than we were three to four weeks ago."
Michigan State has been especially good down the stretch. In the last three minutes of its seven conference games it shoots 50.0 percent from the field, 83.2 percent from the foul line and has a total of five turnovers.
Point guard Keith Appling leads the way with a 14.1 scoring average. He also has 86 assists against 48 turnovers along with 34 steals.
Freshman swingman Gary Harris, last year's Indiana Mr. Basketball who was heavily recruited by the Hoosiers, averages 12.3 points and 2.7 rebounds despite battling a pair of shoulder injuries.
"He's been great," Izzo said. "He started shooting well his first couple of times, then he injured both shoulders, especially the left one. That created some problems for a while. It's hampered his shooting. He hasn't shot as well.
"Defensively and in everything else, he's been pretty good for a freshman. He's hanging in there. When his shot comes back, it will make things better for him and for us."
For the record, Harris shoots 45.5 percent from the field, 38.7 percent from three-point range.
The Spartans have plenty of inside size to hammer at Cody Zeller. Nix averages 9.1 points and 6.9 rebounds. Payne averages 9.0 points and 6.8 rebounds. And don't forget Branden Dawson, who averages 10.5 points and 6.6 rebounds, and has a team-leading 35 steals.
Playing a limited role is former Blackhawk Christian standout Russell Byrd. He averages 2.1 points, 0.9 rebounds and 9.0 minutes in 18 games. He shoots just 29.5 percent from the field, 20.0 percent from three-point range.
While IU has a 43-12 edge in Bloomington, Michigan State was won two of the last three meetings in Assembly Hall, and has won six of the last seven meetings overall.
"They're a difficult team to play against," Hoosier guard Jordan Hulls said. "They play hard. We have to do a lot of good things throughout the game — take care of the ball, get back in transition. We have to get out in the passing lanes, play defense the way we know we're capable. We have to play good ball for 40 minutes."

Autism affects more people than ever before, but it's rare to get a glimpse inside the life of someone living with autism, but one bright 18-year-old let us do just that.
Jessica Wennekamp is writing a book.
"I think it has a good chance at getting published," said Jessica.
The book centers around a character with special skills.
"I think writing is my special skill," said Jessica.
Like the characters in her book Jessica overcomes obstacles. She has autism. She's mastered many special skills, one of them is communication.
It's a giant step according to her mother, Irene Wennekamp, who says Jessica wasn't able to hold a conversation until she was in her teens.
"One day all of a sudden she said, 'How was your day mom?,'" said Irene. "That was something really simple for someone else, (it) was a huge deal for her. She didn't wave good bye to be until she was 5."
Autism is a neurological disorder that affects speech and behavior. Jessica now speaks about her experiences to help teachers understand what it's like in her shoes and how they can help others with autism.
"If anyone asks what I'm thinking about we'd be here for at least 2 days," said Jessica. "I have a lot going on up here. I guess we tend to think on a different level than everyone else. One of the coolest things about having autism is we don't judge."
Simple things can be hard for Jessica. The world can be louder, busier and more frustrating for people with autism.
Jessica was diagnosed when she was 5.
"What all parents want is the best life for their kid and to have the best life for your kid," said Irene. "If you don't know what they have or you're denying what's wrong then you can't do that for them."
"I would consider my mom to be what it means to be a devoted parent," said Jessica. "What it means to give your all, never give up on your child with a disability."
Jessica admits she's not like everyone else.
"In a way, I am different," said Jessica. "I'm never going to be like a normal teenager."
That's what makes her story so unique.
"Having a child with a disability has made me appreciate a lot and look at things differently," said Irene. What's important in life and what's not, accepting people the way that they are and so I actually think I'm sort of lucky in a way to have her."
"You can learn a lot of things from a person with autism," said Jessica.

I like the top photo.
Mandos also sometimes need to be used when an event changes a fairway, such as a tree fall, which opens up a route that makes the hole seem stupid thereafter.
A quick question: It isn't always possible to mark the ground with a Mandatory line, and sometimes there may be regulations against doing so on public courses. However, the language seems to explicitly say the line must be marked on the ground. Why can't the mando line also be established by oral and written rules issued by the TD before the start? The way it is worded now, the only way a TD can have their wishes fulfilled is to mark the ground.

Lightning Safety Awareness Week, June 19-25
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
June 17, 2005
Lightning Safety Awareness Week, June 19-25
According to the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, lightning kills more people in the United States annually than any other weather event—except for flash floods—including tornadoes and hurricanes. Nationally, 31 people died from lightning strikes in 2004, and 280 were injured. Summer is the peak season for lightning.
The week of June 19-25 is recognized as "National Lightning Safety Awareness Week," and the Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management encourages residents to become familiar with the following lightning safety tips.
Before the storm:
- Check weather forecasts before going outdoors.
- Watch for signs of an approaching storm – distant lightning and darkening, towering clouds and strong winds that may signal a severe thunderstorm. When you hear a warning, take appropriate action.
- Make sure you have a NOAA weather radio at your golf course, athletic field complex or any other outdoor venue, and one for your home.
When you hear thunder:
- Immediately move inside a sturdy building or an automobile for greater protection. Avoid picnic or rain shelters.
- Once inside a building, close all windows and outside doors. Stay off the telephone and away from electrical outlets and metal pipes.
- If you cannot get to a building, seek shelter in a vehicle with a metal roof. Close all windows and doors and avoid touching any inside metal.
If you are caught outdoors and cannot get to a building:
- Find a low spot away from trees, fences and poles.
- If you are in the woods, take shelter under the shorter trees or low brush.
- If you are on the water, move to land immediately and find a low spot.
- If you feel your skin tingle or hair stand on end, squat low to the ground on the balls of your feet. Place your hands on your knees with your head between them. You want to make yourself the smallest possible target while minimizing your contact with the ground.
When to resume outdoor activities:
- Wait at least 30 minutes after the last sound of thunder to return to your activities.
Lightning tends to strike the tallest objects, and solitary trees aren't the only things to watch out for. Metal bleachers, fences, light poles or goal posts can carry the charge and shock anyone in its path. Lightning can also "splash" or "ricochet" off these objects and strike nearby people.
C. Douglas Bass, director of the Office of Emergency Management, reminds residents that if you are outside and can hear the sound of thunder, you are within range of a lightning strike. "A thunderstorm could be 15 miles away or it might not be raining at all, but it's still possible to get hit by deadly lightning," says Bass. "As a general rule, you should wait 30 minutes after you hear the last sound of thunder before resuming any outdoor activities."
For additional information on lightning safety, contact the Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management at 703-324-2362, TTY 711, or visit the emergency information page on the county's Web site at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/emergency or the National Weather Service lightening safety Web page at www.nws.noaa.gov/om/wcm/lightning/index.htm.
Residents may also want to register for free severe weather alerts from
the county's Community Emergency Alert Network, or CEAN, which sends
National Weather Service alerts to any registered pager, cell phone or
e-mail account. You can register for the CEAN online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/cean.

Jon Gruden was 38 when he became Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach in 2002, right before he guided the franchise to victory in Super Bowl XXXVII. His replacement, Raheem Morris, was 32 when he replaced Gruden in 2009.
The Bucs have made it pretty obvious they're going in a different direction with their next coach to help mold one of the NFL's youngest teams. We're talking old school.
Tampa Bay officials talked to 68-year-old Marty Schottenheimer on Monday about to their sideline vacancy, ESPN reports. Schottenheimer, who has been the head coach of the United Football League's Virginia Destroyers, has a 200-126-1 regular-season record in his four-team career in the NFL.
Schottenheimer got the UFL gig last year, but hasn't coached in the NFL since 2006, when he was let go by the San Diego Chargers.
Schottenheimer has a 5-13 record in the playoffs, but he built a great resume building consistent winners with the Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs—something the Buccaneers desire with their youthful nucleus that includes franchise quarterback Josh Freeman.
The other candidates ESPN has linked with interviewing for the Bucs' job aren't as close to being septuagenarians with the same kind of experience, but all have had a high degree of success as a coach or coordinator:
—Wade Phillips, 64. The former head coach of the Denver Broncos, Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys has had an outstanding season as the Houston Texans' first-year defensive coordinator. He did well in that same role under Schottenheimer in San Diego, and has an impressive career regular-season mark at 82-59. He also matches Schottenheimer's limited success in the playoffs at 1-5. The Bucs' defense struggled against the run all season, and could benefit from a switch to the trendy 3-4, a la Houston.
—Mike Sherman, 57. Sherman's last NFL gig was also with the Texans, serving as their offensive coordinator in 2007. He parlayed that into a four-year stint at Texas A&M that ended this season. He was 57-39 in six years with the Green Bay Packers (2000-06) that included three division titles, but like Schottenheimer and Phillips, his playoff mark was disappointing at 2-4. One memorable moment with Green Bay came on the field at Tampa Bay in 2002—a postgame confrontation with then-Bucs defensive tackle Warren Sapp.
—Brad Childress, 55. The whipper-snapper of this Space Cowboys crew, Childress was so-so overall in his four years as Minnesota Vikings coach, going 40-37, including playoffs. That followed his time as Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator under Andy Reid. Childress won division titles, but the Vikings' shot at youth movement stagnated because of his decisions with veterans Brett Favre and Randy Moss.
Not only is Schottenheimer the oldest candidate in this field, but the best. He is excellent at developing a steady roster to fit his schemes. He also can thrive in a Philip Rivers-like situation with Freeman while also getting the Bucs' other younger players to be more disciplined.

Two Reliant Stadium security guards get fired for taking photos with Tom Brady
Sundays game between the Patriots and Texans generated a footnote almost as interesting as Antonio Smiths misguided claim that the Patriots have been spying, again.
Via KHOU 11 in Houston, a pair of Reliant Stadium security guards lost their jobs after posing for pictures with Pats quarterback Tom Brady.
Contemporary Services Corporation quickly fired Joe Williams (pictured with Brady) and Christopher Moore after Sundays game.
It is strictly against CSC policy for its employees to request photos or autographs from players, CSC told KHOU 11 in a statement. CSC stands by its decision to terminate the two employees who violated this policy.
On the surface, the move makes sense. Its generally frowned upon for anyone working at a stadium, from security guards to members of the media, to ask players or coaches to pose for pictures or sign autographs while in their workplace. Absent a bright line that everyone honors, a gray area emerges that eventually will distract players and coaches. Even if it happens after a game, clamoring for player photos and autographs is something that people who are paid to be at the stadium generally shouldnt be doing.
At a minimum, its unprofessional. At worst (i.e., as far as CSC is concerned), its grounds for termination.
But Williams and Moore have made an intriguing allegation. They contend CSC doesnt apply the rule against photos and autographs consistently.
What they say and what they practice are two different things, Moore said. What we see on a daily basis, whether it be Reliant or CSC employees, is them taking pictures and asking for autographs from players.
If thats true, then theres a chance that CSC has selectively applied the rule to Williams and Moore as a pretext for some other reason to get rid of them. Which could make a situation that seems cut and dried on the surface a lot murkier, especially if Williams and/or Moore land in the offices of a local law firm.

Bob Denver
Original name: Robert Osbourne Denver
Jan. 9, 1935
New Rochelle
Westchester County
New York, USA
Sep. 2, 2005
Forsyth County
North Carolina, USA
Actor. He was best remembered for his role of 'Gilligan' in the television show "Gilligan's Island" (1964 to 1967) and in the role of 'Maynard G. Krebs' in the television show "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" (1959 to 1963). Born in New Rochelle, New York, he attempted several careers, first as a mailman for the US Postal Service, then as a high school teacher. He was exempt from military service, as he had suffered a broken neck in 1956, when he was twenty-one. He was attending college at Loyola-Marymount University in Los Angeles when he first got into acting. His first role was a bit part, a character named MacIntosh in the film, "A Private's Affair" (1959). He was then picked up for the character of a bearded beatnik named Maynard G. Krebs, as a wacky foil against his college classmate and fellow actor, Dwayne Hickman, in the television series "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis." This show went on for four seasons, and when it ended, he was offered his best remembered role of Gilligan. "Gilligan's Island" has been seen for many years on the rerun circuit. After "Gilligan's Island" ended in 1967, he tried several other shows, including the role of Dusty in "Dusty's Trail" (1973) and several Broadway plays. He would reprise his role of Gilligan in several sequels, usually presented as two-hour made-for-television movie specials, including "Rescue from Gilligan's Island" (1978), "The Castaways on Gilligan's Island" (1979), and "The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island" (1981). Contrary to his inept and goofy acting persona, he was really a very talented, serious, shy, and well read person. He was married four times, and had four children with three of his wives. His longest and most successful marriage was to Dreama Peery, who Bob married in 1976 and she remained at his side until his death. In May 2005, he underwent quadruple heart bypass surgery. He died in Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital, North Carolina, from complications from the treatment for cancer.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The University of Minnesota is about to open its first new dorm in Minneapolis in more than a decade, a six-story residence hall that will include a public restaurant.
A Minneapolis Star Tribune report says the 17th Avenue Residence Hall will house about 600 students. The first students are scheduled to move in Monday.
The amenities include a computer lab and sturdy lounges with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of the downtown skyline. The building has eco-friendly tables made of recycled corn and soy products, and a "green roof" uses plants to filter rainwater.
Staffers predict the restaurant will be a crowd favorite. The Fresh Food Company doubles as a dining hall and public restaurant. Chefs will prepare fresh food made to order, and there's also a gluten-free zone.

An old-fashioned Western with modern FX, 'Cowboys & Aliens' rides roughshod
ARNOLD WAYNE JONES | Life+Style Editor
2.5 out of 5 stars
Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Adam Beach, Olivia Wilde.
Rated PG-13. 115 mins.
Now playing in wide release.
Movie adaptations used to be based on literature and theater and even magazine articles. Nowadays, they are based on cartoons, video games, toys (the "Hasbro Presents" credit still gets a laugh during the opening credits of Transformers movies) and comic books. Such movies usually feel so pre-fab: Meta-cultural, with Hollywood navelgazing into a state of catatonia. (The games and comics are often inspired by trashy action movies, perpetuating the Mobius strip assembly line of dreck.)
But while Cowboys & Aliens' source material is, sadly, a graphic novel about settlers and scalawags in 1873 New Mexico, its real progenitor is the movie Western of yore: Black hats versus white hats. Lasses and scoundrels in saloons. Gunslingers and cattlemen.
And extra-terrestrials. Yeah, it still is a sci-fi film.
The sci-fi, though, doesn't overwhelm the tale, which has the plainspoken good-and-bad dichotomy of the genre, anchored by a humanity lacking in movies like Transformers. Daniel Craig (looking ripped, god bless him) plays an amnesiac bandit who apparently has successfully fought off the aliens with their own weapon, a metal wrist corsage that shoots laser blasts (but only when it needs to). He's posse'd up with the local oligarch (played brutally at first by Harrison Ford, later cuddly as a kitten) to hunt down the aliens who are stealin' our gold and rapin' our women. (Actually, it's not clear why they take people — one of many plot holes best ignored if you wanna get through the film.)
Director Jon Favreau added much-needed humor into the Iron Man movies, an element all but absent here, but cinematographer Matthew Libatique more than makes up for it with gorgeous landscapes and moodily underlit tableaux. Craig is well-suited to the craggy, silent loner: He's brimming with testosteronic swagger … at least until the clusterfuck finale, a convoluted mess that overwhelms everyone involved, including any sense of logic in the storytelling.
Until then, though, it's a kick-ass summer film with excellent production values — War of the Worlds with six-shooters and arrows.

ORLANDO,Fla - The Office of Financial Regulation in Tallahassee has an "open and active investigation" into an alleged playboy con man identified as Scott "Scotty" Campbell, President and CEO of Bank Deposits Only Records.
Local detectives say Campbell has been running a romance scam for the last ten years walking off with an estimated $1 million from more than 20 Central Florida women.
In most cases Campbell cashes his victim's checks at their banks, leaving no paper trail.
Major Tod Goodyear of the Brevard County Sheriff's Criminal Division says Campbell's latest victim invested $5,000 into BDO Record's proposed talent show in February.
Goodyear says the 40-something single mom fits the profile for Campbell's list of alleged victims.
"Sometimes they have money, sometimes they don't ... several have filed for bankruptcy," Goodyear said.
Local 6 has learned Campbell met his alleged victim on the Match.com dating site.
By the weekend, they met face-to-face at the Ali Baba Hookah Cafe in Kissimmee. The woman who spoke on condition of anonymity, says Campbell made small talk for a few hours before hitting her with a sales pitch for his entertainment project.
"He was going to do something really big to help my financial situation ... I was gullible enough to trust him, basically I didn't ask the right questions," she said
The woman wrote him a check for $5,000 and cashed it at her bank as he stood by.
She said she panicked and asked for the money back the next day but he refused claiming his accounts were "frozen."
Over the past few weeks he left a few phone messages and texts and then stopped contacting her.

NASCAR will run its first dirt-track race in a national series since 1970 next season as the Camping World Truck Series will race at Tony Stewart's Eldora Speedway.
The July 24 event is part of the truck series' 22-race schedule announced by NASCAR on Wednesday.
Stewart is hoping the unique event as well as its race date — the Wednesday before the Indianapolis Motor Speedway weekend — will create enthusiasm for the event.
"It's just really a dream come true for us not only as a promoter … (but) to imagine that 42 years later we're going to be taking a national NASCAR series back to a dirt track at Eldora Speedway is a huge honor for us," Stewart said.
The format, and whether there will be heat or qualifying races as well as the length of the race, is still to be determined, according to NASCAR Senior Vice President Steve O'Donnell.
The 2013 truck schedule will have two new venues — Eldora and the road course at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (Mosport) in Canada — and also feature a return to Rockingham Speedway in North Carolina.
Atlanta Motor Speedway will not host a truck race in 2013, while Kentucky will have one race instead of two.

As a Buddhist, or even if you are not a Buddhist, what do you think of http://www.liberationunleashed.com?

"Lokayatika Sutta (SN 12.48) — The Cosmologist.
"The Oneness of all being is sometimes taught as a basic Buddhist principle, but this discourse shows that the Buddha himself rejected the idea. It is simply one of the extremes that he avoided by teaching dependent co-arising."
Question: This word 'citta' is used in the suttas for the subjective consciousness. If there's a citta from which the asavas (biases) are removed and a citta which is liberated, how does this fit in with the idea of self or no-self? How does one avoid self-view in thinking about the citta? If there's no self, who is it that's aware and what is it that becomes enlightened?
Answer: This is where Buddhism excels. It totally frustrates that desire. The Buddha wouldn't give an inch on that, because that's the non-dualism of the Buddha's teaching. It's psychologically uninspiring. You're left with just letting go of things rather than holding on to the feeling of a God or Oneness or the Soul or the Subject with capital S, or the Overself, or the Atman or Brahman or whatever - because those are all perceptions and the Buddha was pointing to the grasping of perception.
The "I am" is a perception - isn't it? - and "God" is a perception. They're conventionally valid for communication and so forth, but as a practice, if you don't let go of perception then you tend to still have the illusion - an illusoriness coming from a belief in the perception of the overself, or God or the Oneness or Buddha Nature, or the divine substance or the divine essence, or something like that.
Like with monism - monistic thinking is very inspiring. "We're all one. We are one - that's our true nature - the one mind." And you can talk of the universal mind and the wholeness and the oneness of everything. That's very uplifting, that's the inspiration. But non-dualism doesn't inspire. It's deliberately psychologically non-inspiring because you're letting go of the desire for inspiration, of that desire and need and clutching at inspiring concepts.

Farm Bill wildlife biologists hired in Texas
A partnership between the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever, Playa Lakes Joint Venture and other conservation organizations has recently filled three new Farm Bill wildlife biologist positions in the Texas Panhandle.
These biologists will work with landowners, ranchers and farmers in habitat conservation measures to increase wild populations of lesser prairie chickens, pheasant, quail and other grasslands birds and animals.
The positions were created as a part of the multi-state Lesser Prairie Chicken Initiative by NRCS. The initiative's goal is to reverse current lesser prairie chicken population declines due to the loss of native grasslands and prevent their listing as a threatened or endangered species.
Prior to this national initiative, fewer than 10 contracts a year were awarded for lesser prairie chicken habitat restoration work in Texas by NRCS. Since the initiative began in 2010, the number of contracts awarded has increased to more than 200 annually. These contracts are worth between $5 and $6 million in cost-share for private landowners interested in native grasslands restoration and habitat conservation benefiting the lesser prairie chicken and other grassland species of wildlife such as quail and pheasants.
The biologists are:
Joshua Grace, who will be located in Canyon, Texas and will be providing conservation services in conjunction with NRCS Field offices in Randall, Deaf Smith, Bailey, Lamb, Swisher, Parmer and Castro counties. Josh received his BS in Wildlife and Fisheries from Texas A&M and his MS in Wildlife Ecology from Louisiana State where he studied plant communities, small mammals and white-tailed deer. He is from Gatesville, Texas where he grew up in a farm and ranch environment. Josh can be reached at email@example.com.
Curtis Greene, who will be located in Pampa, Texas and will be providing conservation services in conjunction with NRCS Field offices in Gray, Donley, Wheeler, Collingsworth, Hemphill, Roberts, Lipscomb and Ochiltree counties. Curtis starts on November 14th. Curtis received his BS in Forestry and Wildlife Management from Stephen F. Austin State University. He is in the final stages of his MS in Range and Wildlife Management at Sul Ross State University where he has been studying Montezuma quail. Curtis hails from Sanford, Texas where his family owns land. Curtis can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Vicki Sybert, who will be located in Brownfield, Texas and will be providing conservation services in conjunction with NRCS Field offices in Terry, Cochran, Gaines, Yoakum, Andrews, Martin, Hockley and Dawson counties. Vicki received her BS in Microbiology and MS in Wildlife Biology from Texas State University-San Marcos. She also completed course work toward her Ed.D. from Texas Tech in curriculum and instruction for Science Education. She has a worked extensively for Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and has served in many capacities in working with Lesser Prairie Chickens. Vicki can be reached at email@example.com.
More than 90 Farm Bill wildlife biologists have been hired in 13 states under this program. For more information on these new positions visit the Pheasants Forever site at http://www.pheasantsforever.org/.

Meet Janet Shin
Competitive Fire Fuels New Yorker's Bejeweled Blitz Play
Janet Shin just doesn't do things half way. For a trip to San Francisco with a group of 10 friends Janet made reservations for every meal and worked up a detailed itinerary weeks in advance. An eight-day Hong Kong sojourn with another group was similarly scheduled, with meals and events plotted out well before the trip because, as Janet explains it, "You have to limit the potential chaos." Janet's energetic all-in attitude is most evident when competition is involved. Team-building scavenger hunts at her job as a compensation analyst quickly become gung-ho drives to best the other teams once Janet grabs the reins. And if you whip out a board game like Taboo or Monopoly at a dinner party, well, just know that you're in for a merrily ruthless contest. "I guess you could say I'm a Type A personality," laughs this 34 year-old New Yorker. Recently, Janet's cheerfully driven nature found yet another outlet: playing Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook.
"Initially," explains Janet, "I wasn't that interested in Bejeweled Blitz since I was used to playing the open-ended Bejeweled 2 on Yahoo! Games. But then I realized you could compete against other players and I stuck with it." Smiling, she admits, "The game scratches my competitive itch." That drive to compete soon resulted in Janet becoming hooked on the game, with anywhere from one to three hours a day spent trying to get the highest score on her leader board. "Basically, I'll keep playing until I get the top score and then check back the next day to make sure I'm still on top," she says. "Unless I get a really high score and totally dominate at the start of the week. Then I won't check in until the end of the week to see if anyone even came close to me." If she's still securely atop the leader board, Janet will often let things lie but if someone has topped her or is getting close she'll log more playing time in the hope of putting some real distance between herself and whoever's Number Two. "Some of these people are just friends of a friend that I only see once or twice a year…but it's important that I beat them anyway!" she says brightly.
While competition may be Janet's primary motivation for playing Bejeweled Blitz, there are other things that keep her playing devotedly. "I like the mathematic and geometric aspect of the game—growing up, I was addicted to Tetris for the same reasons," she confides then continues, "I also enjoy the congratulatory remarks like 'Incredible!' when I put together an especially high-scoring string. It just feels rewarding." Janet doesn't have any grand strategy guiding her play and simply tries to swamp gems as quickly as possible. It all sounds straightforward enough until she confesses that maybe her brain is churning away on Bejeweled Blitz even when she's not actually playing the game. "Sometimes when I'm in a place with lots of small square tiles—like the office ladies' room—I imagine that the tiles are jewels and wonder which ones I'd have to swap to create a string of five." With that much brainpower devoted to the game, it's little wonder that she regularly rules her leader board.
While Janet has plenty of interests aside from Bejeweled Blitz—there's all those trips for one thing, as well as her love for attending plays and musicals—she has one pastime that's a little different: she collects photos of herself about to chomp into a wide variety of foods. "I like having food photos," she says with a shrug. "I don't know how else to explain it. If I'm holding something and smiling my friends know 'It's time to take her picture.'" Years of recording her culinary adventures has resulted in virtual albums full of photos of Janet solemnly examining free donuts, about to dig into some lobster, sinking her teeth into extra-huge cookies, regarding massive mugs of beer, tearing into chicken wings, sipping tiny glasses of wine, and more. "It's a collection…different from my collection of very cute salt and pepper shakers, but a collection nonetheless."
Looking forward, there are a number of things on Janet's to-do list: more travel, more time with friends, and more time playing Bejeweled Blitz. In fact, when it comes to Bejeweled Blitz, Janet has a few things she'd like PopCap do put on their to-do list for a possible sequel. "I'd like it if the game were longer—less blitzing and more scoring," she suggests. In the meantime, she's happy to keep playing the game as-is…and dominating her leader board in the process.

Initially treating fading puppies and kittens
Timely treatment of ill neonates will provide the best chances of survival. Although time-consuming, intensive care of these puppies and kittens, which requires serial monitoring, can be extremely rewarding. Because the exact causes of fading puppy and kitten syndrome are often not apparent at the time of presentation, therapy should focus on supportive care and treating the treatable causes while awaiting further diagnostic information. Initial therapy includes providing supplemental warmth, hydration, supplemental glucose, and nutrition, and sometimes blood transfusion and oxygen supplementation.
Neonates whose temperatures fall to 94 F (34.4 C) or below suffer ileus and marked bradycardia.1 Without correction, hypothermia results in a fatal spiral of events. Warming should take place gradually, over one to four hours.2 Rapid warming may result in peripheral vasodilation and core collapse.3,4Good methods for heating include incubators, warmed circulating air or water pads, and covered warm-water bottles. Electric heating pads are not recommended because of uneven heating and a high risk of thermal burns. Only use heat lamps with appropriate technique and supervision. Neonates must be able to move away from the heat. Neonates easily suffer thermal burns because of their thin skin, and the dehydration often present in ill neonates results in poor circulation that increases the risk of burns. In neonates that have or are suspected of having canine herpesvirus infection, body temperatures should be maintained just above 100 F (37.8 C) regardless of age to interfere with viral replication.5
Once the patient is warmed, the ambient temperature should be 85 to 95 F (29.4 to 35 C), with humidity at 55% to 65%.2 Serial monitoring of body temperature is needed to ensure that the hypothermia does not relapse and that the rectal temperature does not rise above what is normal for the neonate's age.
Hypoglycemia often accompanies hypothermia. Warmed isotonic dextrose solution can be given through a stomach tube, and then 1 to 2 ml 5% to 10% glucose solution can be administered orally or through a tube once the neonate is warmed.2,4 Once venous or intraosseous access is acquired, 20% dextrose solution can be given at a dose of 0.25 ml/25 g in patients that are severely dehydrated, are in shock, or have neurologic signs.4
Venous access is problematic in neonates because of vein size. Jugular catheterization can be performed, but the intraosseous route is most commonly used. Clip and prepare the area over the trochanteric fossa of the femur, and place a 20- to 22-ga spinal needle in a sterile manner. Keep the area covered, and handle it only with sterile gloved hands. Up to 11 ml/min of fluid can be administered by gravity flow with this technique, but unattended gravity flow is contraindicated in neonates.2 Fluid therapy should be provided by pump or slow bolus. If the neonate is in shock, 1 ml/30 g can be given over five to 10 minutes. Maintenance is 60 to 200 ml/kg/day.6,7
Subcutaneous fluid absorption is slow and should be used only for maintenance in stable neonates.6 Fluid injected intraperitoneally can take 24 to 48 hours to absorb, so it is not useful in neonates.8 When choosing a crystalloid fluid, take into account the neonate's immature metabolic processes and avoid lactate-containing fluids. If colloid therapy is needed, hetastarch or dextran 70 can be given at a dose not to exceed 20 ml/kg/day.4 Warm all fluids given to neonates.
In neonates 48 hours of age or younger, vitamin K should be given at a dose of 0.5 to 2.5 mg/kg subcutaneously because thrombin activity is decreased at birth.4
Once the neonate is warmed and has been given dextrose, if needed, feeding is the next requirement. Hypothermic neonates should not be fed because they cannot digest or absorb their food, and formula sitting in the stomach increases the risk of aspiration pneumonia.

The Port of Miami has earned recognition from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency.
In early February, the agency honored the Miami port with its "Center of Excellence and Expertise in Agriculture and Prepared Products."
The recognition focuses on the port's centralized import processing and ability to provide information for the entire trading community, according to the agency.
Eric Olafson, the port's manager of intergovernmental affairs and cargo development, said the designation further solidifies the port's status of being the gateway to the Americas for trade of perishables and other products between the U.S. and Latin America.
"Because we have more agricultural inspectors than any other Customs and Border Protection agency in the world, it's a great marketing item for us as they've finally recognized what Miami is," he said. "We have the warehouses, the cold storage, the logistics and are ideally positioned for this expansion in perishables."
If a product encounters a problem with an unidentified pest or another problem preventing its importing, Olafson said the port can virtually connect with the Miami experts to hopefully resolve the issue.
About half of U.S. customs brokers and freight forwarders work in Florida, which provides the port additional advantages from the smallest shipments of apples to thousands of containers of Chilean grapes, Olafson said.
To help improve efficiencies, Olafson said the port is constructing a $1 billion tunnel providing direct highway connections from the island port to the interstate highway system.
Additionally, on-dock rail construction, expected to be completed by summer, should allow direct rail access, he said.

Felix to get 'Supreme Court' treatment in home debut
ANAHEIM -- Felix Hernandez will be greeted by a Safeco Field "Supreme Court" gathering when he makes his first home start of the season on Friday, April 11 against the A's.
The Mariners have turned the "King's Court" down the left-field line into a Safeco Field tradition for Hernandez's home starts in the past three seasons, and the "Supreme Court" is a larger version, with the entire park turned into yellow-clad fans waving "K" cards.
The first 25,000 fans will receive a free yellow "Supreme Court" T-shirt and commemorative "K" card. Tickets will be specially priced at $12 for all view-level seats and $25 for select main-level, terrace-club and outfield-reserved seats.
Tickets for the game are on sale now without service charge at the Safeco Field box office and at all Mariners Team Stores, and are also available online at mariners.com/felix and by phone at 1-888-732-4487.
The first "Supreme Court" was held on Aug. 21, 2012, to celebrate Hernandez's perfect game against the Rays and then was reconvened on his first Safeco Field start last year as well.
