Hello, this is Jeff Miller, and I'm talking to Jeff Miller, the USC freshman defensive end named Jeff Miller, not the former UCLA tight end named Jeff Miller.
Jeff Miller and I are discussing being Jeff Miller, meaning Jeff Miller (me) will end up writing Jeff Miller (he) and Jeff Miller (he) will end up reading Jeff Miller (me).
Confused. Don't worry, although, at the moment, we two Jeff Millers are talking about a third Jeff Miller. Or, with the above reference to the Bruins' Jeff Miller, should that be a fourth Jeff Miller?
"My dad is Jeff Miller, too," the Trojan walk-on says. "So I guess I had met another Jeff Miller before meeting you."
What's this all about, besides noting that someone who plays on one of the nation's finest teams shares a name with someone who once strained an oblique at a Sizzler salad bar?
Just a reminder that, if you're willing to fine-tooth comb them, the rosters in college football can make for some entertaining reading.
For example, Toledo has an offensive lineman named Troy Favorite, meaning he could be a fan favorite, while any Rocket rooter could be a Favorite fan.
Washington has a safety named Will Shamburger, who has his post-football career spelled out for him right there in his name. There's no need to even rearrange the letters. Hello and welcome to my place, Will's Hamburger.
Texas has an Ash, an Ashby and an Ashcraft on its roster, giving Longhorn opponents the opportunity to literally kick Ash.
See? You don't have to be a Jeff Miller to appreciate the entertainment value here.
Take the Dalton Hilliard who plays for UCLA. He is not Dalton Hilliard Jr., son of the former New Orleans running back. There, however, is a Dalton Hilliard Jr. and he was a high school football player in Louisiana.
The Dalton Hilliard at UCLA, though, is a distant relative of Dalton Hilliard, Jr. and Sr.
Ole Miss has a wide receiver named Philander Moore, who, let's hope for the sake of his potential future wife, will philander less.
There is history to be aware of here. Dennis Rodman's dad is named Philander, and Philander Rodman Jr. reportedly has fathered 29 children by 16 women.
OK, time for a tale: There once was a man named George George. He had a son and named him George. George George Jr. had a son and named him George. George George III is now a tight end at Virginia Tech. True story.
Central Florida, meanwhile, has a defensive lineman named Jose Jose. No way no way? Sorry, but this is true, too.
Once ranked as high as No. 3, South Carolina slipped to No. 13 this week. The Gamecocks, however, are guaranteed to lead the nation in first initials on jersey backs. They have two guys named Auguste, Harris, Holloman, Dukes, Jeffery, Madden, Moore, Robinson, Shaw and Stadnik. They also have three named Smith.
In other news from the department of redundancy department…
Alabama has six players named Williams – Eddie, Jarrick, Jesse, Kellen, Michael and Nick. Louisville has six named Brown – Daniel, DeAngelo, Dominique, Jamon, Keith and Preston. And Northwestern has six named Jones – Christian, Daniel, Joseph, Malin, Tony and Tyris.
No team, however, has even one player named Six.
Pitt has two Pitts – Jevonte and Lafayette. Arizona State has an A.J., a D.J., a J.J., an R.J., a C.J. (with periods) and a CJ (without periods). Florida has a Jabari, a Jelani and a Jeremi.
Geno Smith is the quarterback at West Virginia but also a freshman defensive back at Alabama. Mack Brown is the head coach at Texas but also a sophomore running back at Florida.
And what are the odds of a school having two players who share the same class status, position and name? That's exactly what they have at Missouri, the home of redshirt freshmen offensive linemen Mitch Hall and Mitch Hall.
As we all know, football at some schools is a religious experience. Even the football rosters sometimes appear to be ripped from the Bible. Oregon has a Pharaoh (Brown), Washington a Psalm (Wooching), Massachusetts a (Kassan) Messiah and Washington State a (Moritz) Christ.
North Carolina has Clint Heaven, meaning the Tar Heel coaches have the opportunity to send a freshman safety onto the field with these inspired words: "Go in there, Clint, and give 'em Heaven!"
What's left? Just a few names that deserved mention but didn't fit anywhere, like: Kent State safety Jordan Italiano, LSU defensive tackle Ego Ferguson and Cincinnati quarterback Munchie Legaux.
Then there's Texas Tech corner Happiness Osunde, Wisconsin defensive back Hugs Etienne and Cincinnati linebacker Innocent Macha.
As far as being America's best-matched teammates, we'd nominate a pair of Nebraska Cornhuskers: Scott Criss and Imani Cross.
Now, back to Jeff Miller, the one studying biomedical engineering at USC, not the one who still thinks all engineering somehow involves toy trains.
So, Jeff, have you ever been mistaken for being me, the Jeff Miller who writes for the Register?
"No, that hasn't happened yet," Miller says. "But I'm sure it will eventually."
Don't count on it, kid, Miller writes. But just to be safe, stay clear of Sizzler.

Ethier's struggles against lefties perplex Dodgers
Ethier's struggles against lefties perplex Dodgers
He did it in Spring Training. He did it early in the season. So, maybe it was a strained oblique muscle or a hand blister, but he's not doing it now. On the season, he's hitting .329 against right-handed pitching but .215 against lefties. The career comparison is .311 to .236.
Mattingly speculated that there is a flaw in Ethier's approach against left-handed pitching, that he tries to hit lefties with the same power swing he uses against right-handers.
"Watch his at-bat plan and it doesn't change too much," Mattingly said. "At the end of the day, it comes back to the guy has to -- and not just 'Dre but anybody -- has to have a plan. I'm sure he does. He's a smart hitter who understands his swing. I have trouble understanding it. His swing is so short, he should be able to hit them. Maybe he doesn't see them. It could be that. I know the numbers -- there's a huge differential.
"It's something we seriously have to look at as far as how we approach it. I think he can hit left-handers. The numbers say maybe he can't and we have to go a different route. Me believing a guy can do something and him doing it are two different things."

Inspired by a recent team visit to Bruges as a place of historical interest, and out of curiosity as to the depths of our records, we decided to investigate what we could find out about Bruges and Belgium using records held here at The National Archives. Many of the results from a simple Discovery search (using the keyword 'Bruges') came up with records related to looting of art by the Nazis in the Second World War. Of all of the war crimes committed by the Nazis during the Second World War, looting and plunder of cultural property in occupied territory was not something we were all too familiar with – so we decided to investigate this further. What items were looted? Why? What happened to looted and plundered items from occupied territories, such as Belgium? Could the records held here answer these questions for us?
What items were looted and why?
The Nazis, and Hitler in particular, greatly admired and respected art and culture (provided they were by non-Jewish artists and not what they termed 'degenerate' art). Looting therefore was intended for the 'moral and material enrichment' of the German people and of particular party leaders through the attainment of iconic art works in occupied territories, including Belgium (FO/371/45769/6). It was also for the purpose of Hitler's personal ambition of establishing the finest museum of art in the world in Linz (T209/29/15).
Towards the end of the war, and an Allied victory was assured, Britain set up a Committee for the Preservation and Restitution of Works of Art, Archives and Other Materials in Enemy Hands, also known as the Macmillan Committee. The American equivalent to the Macmillan Committee was the Roberts Commission, named after its Chairman, Supreme Court Judge Justice Roberts. After the Allies had entered Europe – along with the Soviets – they established the Restitution Commission whose objectives were: recording what was taken by the Nazis, identifying what had been found and returning it to its rightful owners (FO 371/45769).
One of the cases dealt with by the Restitution Commission involved Michelangelo's 'Madonna and Child' statue, a fifteenth-century monument, looted in 1944 from the Church of Notre Dame in Bruges (and from where our curiosity first stemmed). According to a report by the Macmillan Committee, the statue was taken by:
'two German officers…accompanied by a party of armed sailors [who removed] the statue in order to protect it from the approaching Americans. By light of torches, the visitors loaded the statue, wrapped in a number of mattresses, on to a waiting lorry.' (T209/12)
This conjures up an incredible image of the removal of one of Belgium's most treasured – and priceless – monuments on the night of 7 September 1944. We were keen to trace more information on this, and what else the documents could unveil about its journey.
What happened to looted art?
War Office Military Headquarters files (WO 204) and also the files of the Directorate of Civil Affairs of occupied enemy territories (WO 220) from during the Allied advance contain many reports of the intelligence that was being collected about missing items, when they were taken, by whom and their suspected locations. A lot of the collected information was speculative, but nonetheless this was fed back to the Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) who analysed the information and coordinated the recovery of the items.
The Nazis, it seemed, had been storing looted items in various locations across Austria and Germany from salt mines to castles. Furthermore, a report dated May 1945 named the Austrian mountains as the supposed location for a large number of repositories containing stolen artwork. This information was supported by reports from Rome of numerous crates containing valuable Italian documents and artefacts which were despatched from Rome railway station to Altaussee in the Austrian Mountains (WO 204/3043).

Scott Hamilton featuring Rossano Sportiello
With a fat, buttery sound reminiscent of Ben Webster and Don Byas, tenor saxophone giant Scott Hamilton was at the forefront of a new generation of young artists that helped revitalize the sophisticated sound of small-group swing, ushering in the "young lion" jazz renaissance of the mid-1970s. Around that same time, award-winning Italian jazz pianist Rossano Sportiello was busy being born! Touted as "the best stride piano player" mentor Barry Harris has ever heard, echoes of Ralph Sutton, Dave McKenna, and Bill Evans can be heard in Sportiello's rich and assured playing. With J.J. Shakur bass

Glasgow Rangers manager Ally McCoist says he has just six first-team players at preseason training as he and the Scottish club face a murky future. McCoist says "close to 21
players" have departed Ibrox since January, when the financial problems that have crippled the once-great club began to develop. It fell so far behind in tax payments many players took voluntary pay
cuts, in some cases as high as 75 percent, so the club could finish the season.
It has been banned from competing in the Scottish Premier League and on July 13 will find out which of the country's three lower leagues it will join.
"We have (the threat of) a transfer embargo hanging over us but how can I operate with a transfer embargo when I only have six players? It's impossible and it's just madness,'' McCoist said. "I have in the region of six first-team players at preseason training right now, two of whom were regulars last season in the SPL. We need to bring in the region of 10, 12 or even 14 players ... We have to start rebuilding and replacing.''
A consortium purchased the club's assets last month in a 5.5 million pound ($8.6 million) deal and established a new company. Its officials were unable to persuade representatives of the other clubs it could operate in the SPL this season. The club's U.S. internationals Carlos Bocanegra, Maurice Edu and Alejandro Bedoya are looking into their options, including MLS.

Championship side Bedford Blues will surely have a close eye on the British & Irish Lions' first Test showdown with Australia on Saturday having played a key role in the development of players from both sides.
Lions props Dan Cole and Mako Vunipola, hooker Tom Youngs, fly-half Owen Farrell and recent replacement Billy Twelvetrees have all featured in Bedford colours on their way to the pinnacle of northern hemisphere rugby - and so has Australia prop Ben Alexander.
The Wallabies' loose-head was handed a career lifeline by the Blues in 2005 after a horrific leg injury and subsequent aneurysm in his lungs threatened not only his career but his life. A British passport, courtesy of his mother, enabled the teenage Alexander to re-build his career in English rugby's second tier. "I'm grateful for the time I had in England," he told The Rugby Paper earlier this year. "I've never forgotten the lessons I learned."

At the beginning I was all like "OH GOD WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH IT HAS A TURRET GOD DAMN IT I CAN HAVE MY OWN DAMN TURRETS!". After getting about 90% of the characters of the game and unlocking her, I was really happy of getting her, but after trying the N7 Paladin and the Alliance Infiltration Unit and their almighty snap freeze, as well as the vorcha/geth soldier and their also almighty flamethrower I was all like "now she looks a bit... meh".
I've never been so wrong. I ran her with this build: http://narida.pytalhost.com/me3/classes/#Engineer/Quarian/KOPFF/Scorpion1AJ5AI5///// and played against cerberus. It was the funnier game I've ever played thanks to the spammability of Cryo Blast, the cryo explosions I did that saved my a** and cryo blasting phantoms so they get their shield bubble up and start shooting at them with the Scorpion probably was the best feeling in the world.
Also, the turret helped a lot to kill guardians by throwing it behind them and freezing them as soon as they gave me their back.
I don't know how people can say it isn't useful, really.

Bleh, the Turret disgusts me with how bad it is. No reason to waste time throwing it behind Guardians when I can just shoot them in the face with an AP mod on whatever gun I'm using.
Still, I definitely think she's an underrated class. Never ran her on Platinum, but I do just fine with her on Gold.
Hey, everyone! This store discriminates against the poor!

I was using the Scorpion, which I unlocked a pack before the quarian popped out, so probably there's a way to hit them with it but I still don't know how (so I just basically threw the turret behind them).
It has a poor AI, but it got me a few good kills (and even saved my life a few times). Also, you can use it as a shooting decoy, so I find it worth it (at least for the lack of shields the quarians have).
The shock evolution on the turret is pretty useful for the more aggressive enemies.

With the scorpion, fire it at their feet as they walk towards you, or just behind them the explosion will get them. Not the most efficient way of killing them but works. Also if you stagger them, if you're fast enough you can shoot them in the face as they expose themselves.

Try her with the Adas equipped w/ Incendiary Rounds. You can Cryo Blast, shoot, prime for fire explosion, and then cast Incinerate for double damage + fire explosion. Plus the Adas staggers and strips shields, which covers up two of her biggest flaws.
I've been saying it for a long time, but the QFE is one of the most underrated kits in the game.

cryo blast sucks.
just one of those situations where people fall in love with something bc they think its under appreciated. Its a bad move, even if the turret is also bad.

Don't listen to Dorick.
Use with Incendiary Ammo. Cryo Blast is the best single-target debuff in the game, period. Tactical Scan is close, but it doesn't weaken armor by 50%. The only boss that doesn't completely crumple under a few Reegar clips and Sticky Grenades is Banshees. Everything else cowers before that which is Cryo Blast.

Don't listen to Dorick.
You weaken armor by 25% w cryo blast, not 50%. Also note that this means weapons that ignore armor defense dont really receive as much of a buff from cryo blast. That includes your teammates, and your teammates ammo, if they brought piercing.
Calling it the best "single target debuff" does not make it a good move. Powers that debuff multiple targets are just as viable against a single target.
Here are the other debuffs:
1:Tactical scan lasts 25 seconds as opposed to 8, and you have a better chance of calling your teammates attention to the target, since it gets highlighted through walls and with a very visible flag. Would always prefer tac scan over cryo blast.
2: Prox mine. While the debuff is only 20%, you hit all targets in the affected radius, even through cover, and do decent up front damage. Since you dont need a lock to fire it, you can hit phantoms by aiming to the side until the lock is off of them or on a nearby target. I believe its also a trigger.
3: Warp. BOTH a primer and a trigger. Incendiary ammo glitch. Does DoT, stopping shield regen and doing damage Warp is a significantly better power.
4: Recon mine. How do you even compare the two? Recon mine is many, many more times beneficial to the team than cryo blast, and does significant damage to large groups.
5: Sabotage. Increase tech damage for your team by 50%, stun mooks, take control of synthetics. AoE, turns synthetics into mini bombs too. Only reason the power gets a bad rap is bc its always put with unsynergistic powers. You know how nice it wouldve been to have this over cryo blast on the QFE?
6: Snap freeze: better in every way.
Im sure im missing something, dont care, its also better than cryo blast.

The final evolution of Cryo Blast states it weakens armor by an ADDITIONAL 25%. You're also twisting my words. I did not say that it was the best power that also debuffs. Unlike you, I'm not so biased as to ignore any bad qualities in the same way you ignore good qualities. It is the best DEBUFF.
1. Okay, it lasts less time, which is fine because Cryo Blast has a hilariously short cooldown anyway (as well as an extremely fast animation) so I'm not losing HUGE AMOUNTS OF DPS by having to reuse it.
2. Any argument saying that Proximity Mine is good for its damage is wrong. It does detonate, which is nice, and it does area debuffs, but I'm not arguing that Cryo Blast roflstomps groups, just single targets. Also: Radius on Cryo Blast means you debuff Phantoms ALWAYS, unless they put up their shield, in which case I'm not sure.
3. Warp is one of the best powers in the game, I'm not saying that Cryo Blast makes everything obsolete. Still not as good a debuff. It gives 15% bonus damage but is completely blocked by Phantoms, as well as Banshees and Praetorians when applicable. You're not paying attention to what I'm saying.
4. Recon Mine is excellent for groups, but is horribly unwieldy besides.
5. You're joking, right? What Tech powers are commonly used for damage? Flamer? Maybe Incinerate, but at that point you're using a very dedicated build yourself and Sabotage would be either relatively unnoticed or unnecessary. The Quarian Female Infiltrator has Sabotage that she can use out of Cloak but people STILL think Sabotage is bad.
6. NOT better in every way, because you're not getting the 25% damage bonus from all sources. Snap Freeze is as highly lauded as it is because of bugged Cryo Explosions and them alone, don't insult me by insinuating otherwise. It's not a bad power besides that, but the Paladin wouldn't be half as good without that free damage.

The Irrelevance of Capital Structure for the Impact of Inflation on Investment
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): SHALOM HOCHMAN, ODED PALMON
- Published: Apr 30, 2012
- Pages: 785-794
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.1983.tb02501.x
Studies concerning the effect of inflation on firms' investment decisions suggest that the form of financing is relevant in assessing the effect of inflation on investment. This paper demonstrates that when the equilibrium relationship between market rates of return on bonds and stocks is considered, the effect of inflation on investment is independent of the capital structure. The paper also shows that when the "Fisher effect" is assumed to hold, the cut‐off rate of return on investment declines with anticipated inflation independently of the financing. However, if the real interest rate rises with inflation, inflation may increase the cut‐off rate.

A Spoonful of Poison: An Agatha Raisin Mystery
When Agatha Raisin goes to the remote hamlet of Comfrey Magna to
politely turn down a public relations job, she encounters the
stunning green eyes of handsome widower George Selby, and promptly
agrees to do whatever PR work the village needs. But as events in
Agatha's new adventure A SPOONFUL OF POISON unfold, the rural
festival Agatha is promoting soon takes a deadly turn, and Agatha
must investigate the toxic spiking of some local preserves.
Agatha's detective agency dives into the investigation as
well, especially the attractive young Toni Gilmour, whose troubles
with men tend to be too much attention, and not (as with Agatha)
too little. By the time a fifth resident of Comfrey Magna turns up
dead, the case proves to be something far greater than a sabotaged
jam-making contest. With her hands full shepherding Toni through
her romantic problems, chasing away her steady stream of pesky
London guests, and weeding out a crooked detective in her own
agency, it's all Agatha can do to solve a connected group of
crimes and set aside a quiet moment to stare into George
Selby's mesmerizing eyes.

Triumph defined the streetfighter category with its iconic Speed Triple. Now the British firm refine the S3 with its latest version sporting a new chassis and uprated engine. The British marque unveiled its tweaked Speed Triple at the Intermot Bike Show.
Internal architecture for the S3's Inline Three is unchanged – still holding the familiar 1050cc dimensions (79mm bore and 71.4mm stroke). Triumph claims, however, that it has wrung out 7% more torque from the powerplant. That ups peak power claims to 81 lb-ft, with peak horsepower still 128 ponies.
The biggest change in the chassis is an all-new aluminum twin spar frame. The single-sided swingarm design is retained, though re-styled. Showa suspension units adorn the front and rear, with the 43mm inverted fork adjustable for rebound and compression. The rear shock offers adjustment for preload, rebound and compression. A new rear wheel changes from 5.5 inch to a six inch width, now fitting a 190/55 tire (the previous version sourced a 180/55 rear).
The new chassis alters steering geometry. Rake is now 22.8 degrees and trail 90.9mm (from 23.5 degrees and 84mm). Wheelbase stretches almost a half-inch to 56.5 inches (from 56.1 inches), with overall length an inch-longer too at 82.1 inches. Seat height is a sliver lower (2mm) at 32.6 inches.
The most distinctive styling change to the new Triumph is its headlamps, with new angular shapes replacing the traditional bug-eye lamps of past models.
In spite of losing a half-liter of fuel capacity, which drops the tank from 4.8 to 4.6 gallons, the new design claims a four-pound heavier curb weight than its predecessor at 481 pounds.
Brembo brakes return up front, with radial-mount, four-piston calipers pinching 320mm discs. A single Nissin 2-piston caliper clamps on the single 255mm rear. This year's Speed Triple does offer optional ABS for the first time ever. Another first-time option for the S3 are tire pressure monitors.
Visually the most pronounced change for the Speed Triple is to its twin headlamps, a signature styling trait of many bikes in the Triumph line. Instead of the simple, round bug-eye lamps of past models, the new S3 sport new angular lights. Maybe it's just us, but the new lamps will take some getting used to. The new lighting units also hold the tach and speedo instrument console, with this year's model delivering more instrumentation options including a lap timer and programmable shift light.
Triumph touts its new 2011 Speed Triple as producing 7% more torque with an all-new frame and revised steering geometry.
Other styling changes include a new piece of bodywork (we durst not call it a fairing on this naked beauty!), a small piece beneath the still prominent tubing of the frame. As standard operating procedure, Triumph will offer plenty of extra accessory goodies like a wind cowl and belly pan. Triumph also extends its close relationship with Arrow for optional pipes to replace the standard dual undertail stockers.
The Speed Triple will be available in Phantam Black, Crystal White and Diablo Red. MSRP is unavailable at this time.

Ghaziabad: In a case of suspected honour killing, a 20-year-old girl was allegedly killed by her uncle over a love affair in Loni area here, police said today.
Firoz slit the throat his niece last evening at the terrace of their house, SSP KS Emmanuel said.
She was involved in a relationship with the youth, identified as Nazim (24), and had decided to get married.
However, the family was opposed to the relationship, he said.
Police arrested Firoz following a complaint filed by the victim's father and lodged a case under section 302 (punishment for murder) of the IPC against him, the SSP said.
During interrogation, Firoz confessed to killing the girl for "tarnishing the family's name", Emmanuel said.
The girl had allegedly tried to commit suicide by consuming some poisonous substance four days ago, he said, adding she was discharged from the GTB hospital yesterday.

ATLANTA -- The gunman -- his mother's boyfriend -- grabbed Santonio Lucas and dragged him through the home as he hunted down and executed six members of the 11-year-old's family.
From his hospital bed, Santonio told police his incredible tale of survival from the massacre, which left seven dead, including the suspected gunman. Deputy Chief C.B. Jackson recounted it for reporters Tuesday.
Apparently angry that Santonio's mother wanted to end their relationship, Cyrano Marks had horded the family into the master bedroom Monday morning.
When he pulled out a 9 mm pistol, Deleane Briskey, her sister and four children scattered.
''They all tried to run, but none were able to escape the house,'' Jackson said.
After witnessing the horror as Marks walked through the single-story house slaughtering his family, Santonio -- described by neighbors as a smart, happy-go-lucky boy who enjoys Nintendo and basketball -- broke away and sought refuge in a closet.
The killer found Santonio, placed a pillow in front of his face and pulled the trigger. The weapon jammed. Marks stepped back, fiddled with the gun and fired again, the bullet smashing through Santonio's elbow.
The boy fell to the ground and played possum, hoping the killer would believe that he was dead.
Moments later he heard another shot. The gunman had killed himself, but Santonio feared that he was still alive. He huddled in the closet for eight hours before running to a neighbor and calling for help.
Next-door neighbor Eugene Broadus, heard the shots at 6:45 a.m., but assumed they were firecrackers. Broadus was gone when Santonio knocked on his door around 2:30 p.m., but his wife told him what happened.
''He said, 'Would you help me? My stepdaddy just killed my mom, my auntie and all my family,'' Broadus said Tuesday. ''He was just sucking his thumb the whole time.''
Jackson said two guns were found in the house, but it was unclear if any of the victims had tried to shoot at Marks.
Briskey, 33, had been dating Marks for about a year, neighbors said. Four times in recent months, police had been called to the house -- twice after fights between Marks and Santonio's father, David Lucas.
Lucas, the father of two of the dead children, said Briskey recently told Marks the relationship was over.
''She told him she was ready to break it off,'' he told WSB-TV Tuesday. ''I guess he couldn't take it.''
Santonio, who is facing surgery on his injured elbow this week, was in stable condition at Grady Memorial Hospital. His father stayed with him Monday night and said he would take custody of the boy.
Neighbors said Marks, 39, often walked through the neighborhood with his two intimidating dogs -- a Rottweiler and a pit bull -- but rarely spoke to anyone.
Monday afternoon, as police responded to the reports of the shooting, the dogs kept officers at bay for three hours. Animal Control officers eventually removed the animals, allowing officers in to examine the carnage.
Betty Fuller, who lived two doors down, called Marks weird. She said Briskey was usually friendly, stopping to chat or say hello -- unless the boyfriend was around.
''She was afraid of him,'' Fuller said.
Gikeivia Johnson, a cousin of the Briskey family, described Marks as jealous.
The neighbors said Briskey's five children were well-mannered and polite. One daughter was away from home Monday, and survived. Police did not release her name or age.
In addition to Briskey, the victims were:
n Craig DeCarlo Briskey, 15, worked at Six Flags during the summer.
n Tasha Briskey, 16, also worked at Six Flags. She and her boyfriend often went to movies and then sat in the driveway of the house.
n David Antonio Lucas Jr., 13, Lucas' oldest child, known as a jokester.
n Antuan Lucas, 9, the youngest child.
n Essie Jo Hugley, 37, Briskey's sister, who had just moved in a few months ago.
The shootings were the worst domestic killings in Atlanta history.
In 1987, R. Gene Simmons of Russellville, Ark., killed 14 relatives and two others over the Christmas holidays in one of the worst domestic killings in U.S. history. That same month, seven family members were found shot to death in a murder-suicide in Algona, Iowa.

Internet gambling rules delayed
- |
WASHINGTON -The Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve are giving US financial institutions an additional six months to comply with regulations designed to ban Internet gambling.
The two agencies said yesterday that the new rules, which were to take effect on Dec. 1, would be delayed until June 1 of next year.
A key Democratic opponent of the ban on online gambling, House Financial Services Committee chairman Barney Frank, Democrat of Massachusetts, praised the action.
The delayed rules would curb online gambling by prohibiting financial institutions from accepting payments from credit cards, checks, or electronic fund transfers to settle online wagers.
The financial industry complained that the new rules would be difficult to enforce because they did not offer a clear definition of what constitutes Internet gambling.

World War I was touted by President Woodrow Wilson as the war to ''make the world safe for democracy,'' yet when American soldiers came home from the trenches of Europe they found that democracy was in peril right here at home in America. Eighty years ago, in the bloody year of 1919, America endured social upheaval from coast to coast. The lynch mob and the midnight police raid were commonplace in a nation that had so recently fought a ''war to end all wars.'' With post-World War I labor struggles and racial strife, America 1919 and the nation was polarized as it had been at no time since the Civil War.
In his book ''1919,'' part of his monumental U.S.A. trilogy, leftist literary lion John Dos Passos wrote of the riots, repression and radicalism that were tearing at the American social fabric 80 years ago. Repression had been on an ascendancy in America for years by the time 1919 dawned. The Ku Klux Klan had enjoyed a steady growth since the racist, terrorist group was formed just after the Civil War.
According to ''The Illustrated History of World War I,'' there were 83 lynchings, mostly of black people, in the year 1919. The hangman's rope and the lynch mob had become as American as the flag which had so recently flown over the battlefields of the war in Europe. America was rife with race riots in 1919, and the long hot summer of that year was so bloody that it became known as ''the red summer.'' In Chicago, 13 days of race riots left 38 dead and more than 500 injured. In Omaha, a black man accused -- probably falsely -- of assaulting a white woman was sprayed with gunfire and his bullet-riddled body was strung up for display on a busy street corner in the center of that bustling Nebraska city.
Not all of the lynch mob victims of 1919 were black. Though the venerable civil rights organization called the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had been formed a decade earlier largely in response to the lynch mobs and Klan killers who terrorized blacks in the South and around the nation, politically progressive white people were not immune to the whip or the hangman's noose.
In the small lumber company town of Centralia, Wash., a lynch mob led by members of the newly formed American Legion killed a World War I hero named Wesley Everest, hanging him from a bridge in the army uniform he had worn so proudly in World War I. A white man, Everest belonged to the Industrial Workers of the World, a militant labor union that was the first labor organization to reach out to black workers in a spirit of equality.
On Nov. 11, 1919 -- exactly a year after the war had ended -- an Armistice Day parade headed by American Legion men dropped all pretense of festivity and attacked the IWW union hall. There was gunplay on both sides as the Legionnaires stormed the IWW hall and three of the American Legion men were killed. During the battle, Wesley Everest vowed to a comrade, ''I fought for democracy in France and I'm going to fight for it here.''
Labor leader Everest did fight for democracy in America, but the American Legion and the lumber companies were determined to shut down the IWW in the Pacific Northwest. As he was dragged away by the lynch mob, working class hero Wesley Everest snarled, ''Tell the boys I died for my class.'' Pieces of the rope used to lynch the labor leader were sold as souvenirs to the ''good, church-going people'' of Centralia. Everest's body was displayed in the town for the gawking citizens then buried in an unmarked grave. His soul goes marching on.
The lynch mob mentality of 1919 lives on today. Just last month I received a letter -- unsigned, of course -- calling me a ''nigger lover'' and threatening violence because I worked on the recent Edward Wright Memorial Afrocentric Festival in Athens and because I disagreed with the writings of local right-wingers in this paper. The anonymous letter only proved that whether it is 1919 or 1999, the words of philosopher John Stuart Mill still ring true: ''Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.''

FARMINGTON — A man who robbed a Bountiful convenience store three times last year was sentenced to prison on the felony charges.
Tyler Stephen Hart, 36, of Kaysville was sentenced to five years to life for a first-degree felony charge of aggravated robbery and two terms of one to 15 years for two counts of second-degree robbery. Second District Court Judge John Morris ordered the sentences be served consecutively.
Police said Hart committed five robberies in 2013 — twice at a Layton convenience store and three times at a Bountiful convenience store.
In each case, police said Hart walked in, grabbed a drink, walked up to the counter, put his hand in his pocket as if he had a gun and demanded cash.
During the second Layton robbery, the clerk refused to hand over the money and Hart walked around the counter, getting into a fight with the clerk, police said. Hart admitted to pulling out a pocketknife and waving it at the clerk, who then backed away and Hart took cash and left the store.
Hart was arrested the next day, after security video was posted by the media outlets on their websites, leading to an anonymous tip.

Back in 2005, my wife was wanting to buy a house. Renting was not helping us build equity. The market was soaring. "Get in or be shut out of ever owning a house" was the prevailing chatter. I thought it was not a good time, as there was a bubble in the housing market, and the signs were pointing to a hard fall.
Was I genius or prophet who foresaw the coming crash? I wish I could claim it, but alas, I have no secret powers. I listened to many economists saying that there was going to be a fall. Unfortunately, few saw how hard that fall was going to be. We could see the danger coming, but we acted like the good times would last forever, and we treated the voices of concern like depressing clowns at a kid's party. So -- one year since the free-fall off the greed cliff -- what have we learned? I am hoping we've learned much, but fearing we've learned too little as we approach another cliff.
If in 2005, we had prepared for what was clearly a problem, maybe we would be in a better place today. Yet we did nothing. Now we are paying the price. In the future, will we act if we see another market bubble that threatens us?
We are now staring at a health-care bubble which will burst sooner or later. It is a bubble whose bursting could damage our future as much as that infamous real estate bubble did; yet a sizable part of the population sees nothing wrong. Are we to keep going down the road with a broken bridge at the end? Health care has increased in cost exponentially, and is not sustainable -- much like the housing market. I have good insurance, but every year cost goes up and coverage goes down. The hot air pushes up the pressure. How long before the pop?
Recently, I have had close contact with the health-care bubble. My son has been diagnosed with a congenital disease. He is having complications, and we are uncertain about his future. I have written about the pain and joy around my son. What I have discovered is that the health-care bubble is the last thing I need to worry about when my 5-month-old is struggling. Yet both my wife and I have to think about it. Costs go up and up and up. We worry despite being frugal and playing by the rules. (We bought our house with a great interest rate and at a cheaper price than anything we could have bought in 2005). What does the future hold for my son?
As a nation, we are now in the middle analyzing what went wrong with the housing bubble and how we can avoid the problem of unsustainable market bubbles. We are looking at where our economic models went wrong. This is good work and should inform us as we reform health care. The questions will be whether we will be honest with ourselves and avoid another bursting bubble. As George Santayana famously said,
Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Women don't feel in control of their lives
Delhiites are most likely to share jokes and break into laughter. And men are more likely to do so than women, Arnab Mitra writes.delhi Updated: Jan 16, 2013 01:32 IST
Delhiites are most likely to share jokes and break into laughter. And men are more likely to do so than women. But as a country, we don't quite share as many jokes and laugh as loudly and frequently as we may want to.
The first Hindustan Times-MaRS Happiness Survey, the most definitive such study ever undertaken, throws up findings such as these that have never before come to light.
Empirical evidence suggests that we are not a very giving nation. But did you know that we're not blase about it? Indians across the country are very unhappy with the meagre amounts they give to the less unfortunate.
The survey suggests that the prolonged economic slowdown, the rising crime graph and crumbling civic amenities are taking a toll on our collective psyche. Residents of nine out of 16 cities surveyed say their feeling of positivity regarding the country was "under strain". Two cities said they were unhappy on this count.
Then, only about half of all Indians feel they are in control of their future. Tellingly, women across all age groups say their happiness on this count is "under strain". Men, on the other hand, say they are "somewhat happy" on this parameter.
The only groups that felt slightly more positive than this were working men and Indians in the 26-35 age group. But they, too, said they were only "somewhat happy".
Morally and ethically, India seems to be living in a twilight zone. But the good news is that we're aware that we are, as a nation, falling short of the standards we should set for ourselves. Half the country admits that their happiness at "acting by values" is "under strain". And there's little difference of opinion here between men and women.

SEOUL, South Korea --- Like most North Koreans, Son Jong Nam knew next to nothing about Christianity when he fled to neighboring China in 1998.
Eleven years later, he died in North Korea in prison, reportedly tortured to death for trying to spread the Gospel in his native land, armed with 20 Bibles and 10 cassette tapes of hymns. He was 50.
His story, pieced together by his younger brother, a defector who lives in South Korea, sheds light on a little-discussed practice: the sending back of North Korean converts to evangelize in their home country.
"It's their country, where people speak the same language. They know where to go and where to escape," says the Rev. Isaac Lee, a Korean-American missionary in Seoul who has dedicated his life to spreading Christianity in the North. "But I agonize a lot whenever I have to send defectors to the North as I know what kind of punishment they would get if arrested."
Officially, North Korea guarantees freedom of religion for its 24 million people. In practice, authorities crack down on Christians, who are seen as a Western-influenced threat to the government.
SON JONG NAM served in the presidential security service for 10 years until his discharge as a master sergeant in 1983. In those years, he was ready to dedicate his life to fighting the "American imperialists," his brother says.
Then in 1997, his wife was arrested for allegedly saying North Korean leader Kim Jong Il had ruined the economy and caused a mass famine. Interrogators kicked her in the stomach, forcing her to have a miscarriage, Son's brother says.
Terrified and disillusioned, Son, then 39, fled in January 1998 with his wife and their 6-year-old daughter to the Chinese border town of Yanji. Son's wife died of leukemia seven months later.
Son grew closer to a South Korean missionary, who had talked to him about Christianity, while sheltering his family after their arrival in China.
Their meeting was not unusual. South Korea has a large Christian population, and hundreds of South Korean, American and Canadian missionaries work undercover in Chinese towns near the North Korean border, say Seoul-based activists specializing in North Korean human rights issues.
They hide Bibles in shipments of food, clothing, and other aid bound for North Korea. They help North Koreans flee and teach them about Christianity.
Son, now a Christian, began helping the missionary try to convert North Koreans hiding in China.
"My brother said he realized the Kim Jong Il regime is hypocritical, and living in accordance with what the Bible says is what we have to do," the younger Son says.
In January 2001, Son was arrested by Chinese police for allegedly trying to convert North Korean defectors in China, which bans foreigners from proselytizing. He was deported home in April, where he was detained and tortured, leaving him with a limp, his brother said.
"He was beaten in the head with clubs and given electric shocks," his brother says, his eyes welling up with tears.
Son was released in 2004 and sneaked across the border to Yanji to see his daughter, who had been left in the care of a Chinese missionary. He soon decided to return to North Korea to proselytize.
"I repeatedly urged him to change his mind, but he told me he has something to do in North Korea," says his brother, who was living in Seoul by then.
Son headed back with the Bibles and tapes. Little is known about how he evangelized, though his brother says Son worked at a state-run defense institute and was allowed to travel freely.
Son was arrested again in January 2006 after police found Bibles at his home in Hoeryong. He was also charged with spying for the United States and South Korea and sentenced to public execution by firing squad.
His brother launched an international campaign to save him. That apparently led his captors to switch to a less public method: torture. "There are many ways to kill people in North Korea," says his brother.
He died in a prison in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, in December 2008.

I was going through the SGU's mailbox this morning while downloading the Rift client(1). As I was reading all the great stuff people send us I came across this interesting question from listener Jason from Leeds in the UK.
… A while ago, my partner and i started watching 'medium'. Having a daughter of our own, we like the fairly life like family life it portrays. We treat the main character 'talking' to the dead as pure fiction. Unfortunately i got hooked before realising it was based on a supposed real life Allison de bois! Am i betraying my skepticism watching it?
The Short Answer
Hell no!
The Long Answer
This is something I struggled with for a bit when I first realized I was a skeptic and found this community. I had trouble watching movies and shows and reading books about ghosts, monsters, aliens and psychics because I would think that if I let myself suspend my disbelief just for a bit, I would lose my "good little skeptic" status. It's not that I wouldn't watch or read these stories, but when I did all I could think of is how absolutely silly their premises were. Just trying to debunk everything that was going on. Constantly telling myself how and why these things are impossible. Being in that frame of mind made them lose a lot of entertainment value for me. Yes… even Ghostbusters.
During our weekly games of World of Warcraft, I would listen to the rogues talk about the movies and TV they've seen, the ones they love, and the ones they hate, and I got a lot of recommendations from them(2). And it was strange to me that a very large portion of the stuff they talked about dealt directly with ghost, aliens and monsters. Especially Zombies(3). Hell, Bob even operates a haunted house every Halloween. And that made me realize something. That whether you've just discovered your skepticism or you're a very experienced skeptic and prominent in the community, that you CAN suspend your disbelief. And that's okay.
It can be tough, I know, because some of these things are about stuff we deal with directly in the skeptical community; Alien UFOs, ghosts and in your case, mediums or psychics. And I understand that it may be harder in the case of Medium since is based on the claims of a "real life medium". That makes it hit a little closer to home and makes it harder to derive all the entertainment value out of it that you could. But if you enjoy the show for its characters and stories, then just enjoy it. You're not any less of a skeptic for that. And if you watch these types of shows with your daughter, you can use them as good discussion points and education opportunities.
10 of my Favorite Movies(4)
- Ghostbusters
- Independence Day
- Alien
- Ghostbusters
- Back to the Future
- District 9
- Dawn of the Dead
- The Exorcist
- The Shining
- Ghostbusters
So keep watching the things that entertain you. Suspending your disbelief purely for the sake of entertainment is fun, and it definitely doesn't make you any less of a skeptic.

Pound soars above euro as UK's industry booms
THE pound hit an 18-month high against the euro yesterday as the fastest expansion in industrial output for more than three years showed Britain's economy "firing on all cylinders".
The UK economy is increasingly firing on all cylinders
Official data showed industrial production, which spans manufacturing, North Sea oil production and power generation, rose 0.4 per cent in April from the previous month, boosting annual growth to 3 per cent, the strongest since January 2011.
Manufacturing, while 7 per cent below its pre-crisis peak, continued to power ahead after growing 0.4 per cent from the previous month – its fifth consecutive monthly increase – to show annual expansion of 4.4 per cent.
Analysts said this provided more evidence of a rebalancing of Britain's economy, whose second quarter growth is expected to at least match the 0.8 per cent expansion of the first three months, putting it on course for 3 per cent growth this year.
Manufacturers' organisation EEF forecasts UK manufacturing will outstrip Britain's overall economic output this year by expanding 3.6 per cent on the back of booming domestic demand.
Berenberg chief UK economist Rob Wood said: "The UK economy is increasingly firing on all cylinders.
"There is no sign of any deleterious exchange rate effect on manufacturing output, reflecting the fact that sterling is still at a competitive level while overseas demand is anyway much more important for exports."
Markit chief economist Chris Williamson added: "Britain's factories are booming. The data not only indicate that the recovery has strong momentum but also that the economy is rebalancing, though there is still a long way to go before manufacturing even regains its pre-recession size.
"The pace of expansion seen in recent months paints a very encouraging picture of how the recovery is gaining further ground."
The pound climbed above €1.24 against the euro before easing back to 0.1 per cent higher at €1.237.
There is also good news for Britain's high street retailers today as figures from business adviser BDO show the first full quarter of widespread and consistent sales growth in four years.
BDO's monthly sales tracker reveals same-store sales up 1.1 per cent in May, with fashion, lifestyle goods and homewares sectors all showing sustained growth for the first time since 2010.
BDO's head of retail and wholesale Sophie Bevan said: "The high street feels like it has turned a corner. The exciting thing is that not only is growth coming from all sectors, it's coming from the majority of retailers as opposed to just a minority boosting the overall performance."

The man's identity has not yet been released, pending family notification.
"We're still continuing our investigation to determine if this is accidental, a homicide, or suicide. We're still determining what occurred, and how it occurred," Brady said.

Hearty Vegetable Soup to Fight the Winter Blues
Editor's note: Many of us overindulge when we're stressed, angry, or tired. What if, instead of wolfing down fatty comfort foods, we soothed ourselves with soul-nurturing whole foods. Michele from Cooking with Michele does just that with this hearty winter vegetable soup, which is full of good-for-you ingredients like barley, beans, and kale. --Jane
Now I'm not one to promote dieting, fasting, cleansing, or anything else like that. It feels too restrictive to me and I usually just fall off that wagon big time. Instead, I like to just attempt to return to eating healthier, but very satisfying, food. Lots of vegetables. Lower in fat. Whole grains. Vegetable sources of protein. You get the picture, right?

Take a right out of the West Door, go past Prebendal House, and turn left down a track through the trees. It brings you out at a weir on the River Taff, where seagulls bob and herons stalk. But fifteen hundred years ago, you would not have needed to walk so far to find the river. It flowed about a quarter of a mile to the east of its present course, almost alongside the current Cathedral building. A hundred years after the Romans left Britain, and a hundred years before St Augustine arrived, Dyfrig founded a community here, following a new and foreign faith, near where a path – already ancient by Dyfrig's day – forded the river. We don't know much about Dyfrig, but as you wander the paths between the Cathedral and the river, you cannot help thinking that he chose the spot well.

I should be really excited for directors Jamie Bradshaw and Aleksandr Dulerayn's "Branded". The film has everything I like in my movies — aliens, said aliens invading, the delightfully delightful Leelee Sobieski, and did I mention aliens invading? I love that stuff. So why do I feel so … indifferent towards "Branded"? I dunno. I'm just not feeling the movie. But maybe the trailers just aren't capable of selling the film's quality. Let's hope that's the case. But hey, judge for yourself by watching the new trailer for "Branded".
BRANDED is a dark and mind-bending sci-fi thriller into a surreal, dystopian society where mega corporations have unleashed a monstrous global conspiracy to get inside our minds and keep the population disillusioned, dependent and passive. One man's quest to unlock the truth behind the conspiracy will lead to an epic battle with the hidden forces that really control our world.
Starring Ed Stoppard, Leelee Sobieski, Jeffrey Tambor, Ingeborga Dapkunaite and Max Von Sydow.
Get branded September 7, 2012.

Soldier buried next to his daughter
A British soldier killed in a landmine blast in Afghanistan has been laid to rest beside his baby daughter.
Lance Corporal Stephen McKee was buried with full military honours almost a year to the day after the death of his newborn child Keeley.
An estimated 10,000 mourners brought Banbridge, Co Down, to a standstill with all shops closing as a mark of respect. Among them was Stormont First Minister Peter Robinson and Northern Ireland Secretary of State Owen Paterson.
The Royal Irish Regiment soldier and his daughter were reunited in the town's New Cemetery following an emotional funeral service at the nearby Holy Trinity Church.
Church of Ireland Archdeacon John Scott told mourners the 27-year-old had died trying to do good in a "messy world".
"Stephen and Keeley have gone on ahead," he said. "May we all, especially those who cherished him most, live in the faith of meeting again and honour his memory in the service of others as he did."
Lance Corporal McKee died in the Nad-e Ali district of Helmand Province when his vehicle hit an improvised explosive device (IED) on March 9. His younger brother Michael, who served alongside him in the 1st Battalion of the Royal Irish, was one of the first on the scene after the deadly blast.
Michael was among soldiers who carried his coffin.
His body was repatriated to the UK on St Patrick's Day (March 17) when family and friends wore bunches of shamrock as they lined the High Street in Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, to watch the cortege pass through the town.

GOALKEEPER'S LOG 2004-VI Every Tuesday during the 2004 season, Earthquakes goalkeeper Pat Onstad will write a diary entry detailing life as a Quakes player for SJEarthquakes.com.
Dear Diary:
When I was growing up I always looked forward to summer. Now you would think it was for the great weather, and it partially was, but I looked forward to summer most of all because that was when our family would really use the barbecue. I have always been a huge fan of the grilled dinner. Almost anything tastes better when it is grilled.
Here in San Jose we do not have to wait for the summer for great barbecue weather, we pretty much have it year-round. What is it with the man and the grill? It was the only time my father manually contributed to the meal (except for his famous omelet nights). Now I do like to cook, but more and more often I am becoming like my father and I often only cook on the grill. Having said that, we use the grill quite often. Let's just say I have a better relationship with the local propane dealer than I do with my barber.
The art of the great cookout often does not equate with the final product (notice I am the one who cooks on the grill, so I'm saving my bacon so to speak) but rather the entire process. Now I must give credit where credit is due, the marinating of the food can be a vital ingredient in the process and one which I often ignore. I'd like to say I ignore it because I am training so hard and so late that I neither have the energy nor the time but that may be slightly (completely) inaccurate. More realistic is the fact that I just forgot or did not help in making a decision toward dinner. My wife is extraordinary at food preparation. But once the food is on the grill my expertise comes into play.
The time spent outside by the grill gives me time for reflection. And this week I obviously was reflecting on last Saturday's match. Maybe the barbecue is the man's sanctuary. As the steak was cooking my son came out to help and instantly I forgot what I was doing (a little well-done steak never hurt anyone). My son's interruption, ill timed as it was, allowed me to think about something else rather than soccer. Like what happened to my barbecue sanctuary? When did I lose that? Was it once my son learned how to walk?
The final and most enjoyable part of the barbecue is sitting down to enjoy the wonderful meal (although remember the final product does not a great barbecue make). I remember my family would often sit outside as the sun set and enjoy the evening down on the grass in our backyard. Maybe it is these moments that I am trying to recreate in my home with my family. But whatever I am trying to achieve I enjoy the entire process, especially if it includes an ill-timed interruption from my son.

Barry Bonds still exiled from MLB more than six years after final game
Gwen Knapp wrote a terrific feature on Major League Baseball's home run champion, Barry Bonds, published Wednesday at Sports on Earth. It's a long, great read on the limbo in which Bonds finds himself since playing his final game for the San Francisco Giants in 2007. He's been locked out of the game, first unable to find work as a player — Bonds never retired, he says, but instead was "fired" — and today as an instructor.
What's the difference between Bonds and other players in the performance-enhancing drugs era? For one, Knapp says: Mark McGwire, Jason Giambi and Matt Williams, among others who have found forgiveness, don't have a criminal record — a felony obstruction of justice charge that Bonds continues to appeal as he serves his sentence.
Another: Bonds spent his playing days acting awfully angry much of the time, and his personality faults haven't done him any favors. But it's not like McGwire is known as the friendliest person in the world. Bonds is being kept out of baseball.
Despite being stuck in limbo, Bonds has managed to undergo a transformation. The first part has been physical. He's dramatically trim compared to his playing days, when he was bloated from from working out (along with whatever else he put into his body). Whenever Bonds is spotted these days, it's often on a racing bike. And he's often hard to recognize at first.
Further, the toll that chasing Hank Aaron's home run record, along with the legal trial that followed, has started to ease. Bonds, people who know him say, is happier than he used to be.
And then there's the unlikely girlfriend situation. Olympian cyclist Mari Holden:
In his life away from baseball, Bonds has already pulled off an upset, winning over an ardent, public critic of PEDs: his girlfriend. In 2005, three months after McGwire went to Washington and declined to talk about his past, Holden appeared at a hearing about performance-enhancement among women and girls. Designated as an athlete ambassador for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, she told Congress:
"I am here because I want to make sure that the clean athletes of today and tomorrow have a voice. Our children need to have a level playing field, and the use of drugs for sport or looks should be deterred at all levels. As a clean athlete, I want you to test me so that the world knows that when I win, I win fair and square. I believe all clean athletes feel the same when given the chance to speak freely about these issues. Frankly, it is the same simple rule we all followed as children on the playground and which our children hopefully still follow today. Cheaters never win, and winners never cheat."
Major League Baseball isn't as forgiving to Bonds.

The holiday retail season, for many, is already well underway and the seasonal email campaigns have been rolling out. But the official kick-off to holiday shopping starts with the Friday after Thanksgiving. Every year, more shoppers are out looking for deals and bargains on Black Friday and every year total spend on that day rises. This year retail spend is expected to increase 3.3% from last year, making it even more important to craft a solid email campaign that will bring you more sales and higher engagement this Black Friday.
As you can see, Black Friday has become one of the biggest sales day of the year for many online merchants and stores. Read on for ways you can take advantage of this day by leveraging your email campaigns to get more sales.
Make a Solid Offer, Sale, or Discount
What are you offering this Black Friday? Of course you'll first need to figure out how your offering fits in with your budget and expected return. Once you have a budget spend in mind, consider what kind of deal you'll be giving to your readers. This will also tie into how you craft your email subject line.
Here are some ideas:
- Discounts
- Waive membership fees
- Freebies or Gifts with purchases
- Extended free trial period
- Rewards to current readers for referring new ones
- Time sensitive custom coupon code (i.e. one-day only)
- Free shipping for Black Friday
- Bundle specific products or services at a discounted rate
Get Your Subject Line 'Black Friday Ready'
Grab readers' attention with a show-stopping subject line that encourages opens. When crafting the perfect subject line, keep two things in mind. First, tell them exactly what they can expect when they open your message. Second, put urgency behind it to make them act now! For example:
- Black Friday 30% Off Sitewide - One Day Only
- Free Shipping On Any Purchase - Expires Midnight on Black Friday
These two subject lines clearly state what the event is, Black Friday, what the deal is, 30% off or free shipping, and includes a sense of urgency.
Get Creative with Your Creatives
It's always fun to dress up your email for special occasions. And Black Friday is a great excuse to update your template so it stands out. Still keeping true to your brand, make the template look slightly different from your standard email message so your readers know it's a special campaign. If you plan to send more than once, which is recommended, use your newly updated Black Friday template each time to maintain consistency.
If you don't have time to create a whole new template or would prefer to keep your standard message, consider using relevant images in your message instead. Again, these images will help differentiate this mailing from your typical weekly or monthly mailings. Plus it gives it a festive feel and gets people excited about shopping.
Frequency is Your Friend on Black Friday
Don't be afraid to over-send on the days leading up to Black Friday and on the day itself. But vary your email, don't just send the same exact message over and over. Your first email can be sent 3 or 4 days before Black Friday to alert your readers of the sale. Send a second email two days prior and give them a sneak peak of what will be on sale along with the reduced ticket prices. Consider sending one, two or more emails on the actual day of Black Friday to make sure you're reaching your audience at all possible times of the day iand increasing your chances of making sales.
Typically, response rates are highest within 48 hours of a sent message and they drop off significantly after that. So sending approximately every two days is a great way to keep your email from getting deleted, forgotten or ignored in the days before Black Friday. This will also help to maintain a steady response rate from your readers throughout the week.
Monitor Deliverability
If you do plan to increase your email send frequency in the days before Black Friday, be sure to monitor your deliverability rates. Email marketers who typically only send monthly, may catch their readers off guard with so many emails in a short time period. If you're worried about over-sending, keep an eye on your unsubscribe rate after each send. Should you see a sudden increase in unsubscribers, then pull back on your email campaigns and continue to watch this metric.
However, given that it is the holiday season, there is a level of expectation among most online shoppers to see their inbox fill up faster. So don't be afraid to try this tactic.
A Few Additional Tips
Your Black Friday campaign and message should be consistent across all of your marketing channels. When building out your Black Friday email message consider how you will change or update the following channels to fit:
- Social Media: Post your sales, discounts and Black Friday announcements to your Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn accounts, as well any other relevant social channel
- Landing Page: When a reader clicks from your email to your site, the landing page should display the same deal or discount mentioned in the email and should land on a relevant page.
- Blog Post: Keep your blog updated with your Black Friday announcements
- Press Release: If you plan on sending a press release keep the same messaging that you're using in the email campaigns
- Mobile: Have a mobile site or application? Use it to reinforce your Black Friday deals
- Test the Site: You should consider testing all conversion points throughout your website to make sure everything is running smoothly and all transactions will be recorded correctly

While working to secure Rails applications in a truly Agile development environment, it became clear to Ken Johnson (@cktricky), CTO of nVisium Security, and Mike McCabe (@mccabe615) that the Rails community needed attention to security in the form of free and open training. The events that have transpired this past year have only reinforced that belief. RailsGoat, an OWASP project, is an attempt to bring attention to both the problems that most frequently occur in Rails, solutions for remediation, and common attack scenarios. Ken, Mike, and their contributors built a vulnerable Rails application that aligns with the OWASP Top 10 and can be used as a training tool for Rails-based development shops.

North Texans who hoped last week's warm weather was here to stay have encountered a disappointing weekend featuring hail Saturday and a possible freeze Sunday night.
As of Saturday, no major damage had been reported.
National Weather Service meteorologist Dan Shoemaker said the unseasonable weather was the result of a cold front that passed through the Dallas-Fort Worth area Friday morning. That was followed by an upper-level disturbance Saturday, he said.
The confluence brought strong winds, thunderstorms and hail to some areas. There were reports of pingpong-ball-sized hail in Crowley. Seagoville, Red Oak, Mansfield and DeSoto all received about an inch of hail, most of it pea-sized.
The storm did cause some sporadic power and telephone outages. Cellular and land-line phone customers in Arlington and Grand Prairie lost service for several hours because of a power failure at an AT&T facility.
Both cities flooded their streets with fire and police personnel to protect areas where 911 services weren't available. Arlington police and firefighters set up at major intersections to take reports of emergencies. In Grand Prairie, officers increased police presence and asked residents to be more aware of their surroundings.
Other small power outages were spread across the region. According to Oncor's website, about 300 North Texas customers remained without power Saturday afternoon.
The unusual weather was expected to continue for the rest of the weekend. The weather service issued wind advisories Saturday afternoon for most of the region, with wind reportedly gusting up to 45 mph.
And on Sunday night, the weather service expects temperatures to dip near freezing. Dallas should have a low of around 34 degrees. Most of the surrounding area, including Fort Worth, Denton and parts of Collin County, will be at or below 30 degrees.
The average low for this time of year is around 50 degrees. Temperatures should return to that level later in the week, with highs reaching the 70s by Wednesday or Thursday.

Fantastic!''-->-- '''OpeningNarration'''This action cartoon, produced by Creator/HannaBarbera for Creator/{{ABC}}, was among the first of several {{animated adaptation}}s of the ''Comicbook/FantasticFour'' comic book. Several of the Creator/StanLee[=/=]Creator/JackKirby stories from the early issues were adapted for this program. This series ran for 20 episodes, including two 10-minute shorts, until the {{Media Watchdog}}s demanded less violence in children's television.----!!This series provides examples of:* AboveGoodAndEvil: ComicBook/{{Galactus}} provides an example that might not have come up too often in '60s children's cartoons.* AdaptationDistillation: For instance, the Galactus trilogy got compressed into one episode.* AdaptationalBadass: Oftentimes Hanna-Barbera adapted a comic set when Sue [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway could only turn herself invisible]], and had her use the powers she originally developed later to make a relatively more significant contribution to the plot. * AdaptedOut:** Ben's girlfriend, Alicia Masters, never appeared in this show.[[note]]Moreover, her role in the aforementioned Galactus episode was given to Sue.[[/note]]** Since the episode adapting the Red Ghost's debut only runs 10 minutes, the Fantastic Four do not get to meet TheWatcher in it. Instead, "It Started on Yancy Street" marks the first time the Four meet him.** Likewise, when Klaw first appears, he mentions a past encounter with the FF where he was thought dead, but the person who nearly killed him, Comicbook/BlackPanther, is neither seen nor explicitly mentioned.** "The Micro World of Doctor Doom" does not have ComicBook/AntMan in it, likely because the studio that made ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelSuperheroes'' already secured Hank Pym.* AntagonistTitle: "Klaw", "Diablo", "The Red Ghost", "The Mysterious Molecule Man", "Galactus", "Blast-Starr, the Living Bomb Burst", and "Rama-Tut" all have titles consisting simply of the villain's name. Some other episodes also have titles consisting of phrases with the villain's name.* BlackBeadEyes: Doctor Doom appears to have these most of the time. In close-ups, his eyes look blue with black pupils.* ClipShow: "The Terrible Tribunal" (doubles as a CourtRoomEpisode) and "The Deadly Director".* DamselInDistress: There's a large number of episodes where you can count on Sue to call out, "Reed, Johnny, Ben! Help!" Though it probably counts as FairForItsDay, as Sue does get her moments. * DeathTrap: "The Three Predictions of Doctor Doom" sees Doom trap Sue in a room where TheWallsAreClosingIn, suffocate Johnny in a room that quickly rotates to extinguish his flames, and leave Reed LockedInAFreezer until he shatters like a rubber ball.* DiplomaticImpunity: In "The Way It All Began", Doctor Doom invokes diplomatic immunity as Latveria's ruler to avoid being arrested upon arriving in New York.* DontExplainTheJoke: Johnny tells Ben that they didn't need an explanation behind his crack about waiting until "Doomsday" for their next confrontation with Doctor Doom.* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first episode produced, "Klaw", only lasts 10 minutes. Reruns pair it together with the equally short episode "The Red Ghost".* EpisodeTitleCard: Par for the course for Hanna-Barbera's superhero cartoons.* EvilIsHammy* {{Expy}}: Since the rights to [[Comicbook/SubMariner Namor the Sub-Mariner]] were already claimed by ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelSuperHeroes'', Prince Triton and Gamma-ray were created in his place with the former for Namor the Hero and the latter for Namor the Villain respectively.* FilmFelons: "The Deadly Director" involves a villainous MasterOfDisguise impersonating a famous movie director and interviewing the Fantastic Four about their previous adventures under the pretense of digging for ideas for a movie about them, while noting the various ways the villains failed to defeat them and plotting his way around their pitfalls.* {{Foreshadowing}}: The scene of the cosmic storm in "The Way It All Began" contains some lines that foreshadow the respective abilities that Sue, Johnny, and Ben gained that day: Sue says she feels like she's not really there, Johnny says he can feel himself heating up, and Ben says he feels heavy.* HappilyMarried: Unlike the comics, this cartoon always portrays Reed and Sue Richards as husband and wife, bar the flashbacks set before the founding of the Fantastic Four. However, the show does avoid portraying Reed's and Sue's marriage as 24/7 bliss. "Galactus" begins with Sue lamenting to Ben about how sometimes Reed spends more time with his science experiments than with her, and Ben assuring Sue that Reed still loves her.* HeelFaceTurn: The ComicBook/SilverSurfer turns against Galactus after Sue[[note]]Who has the role originated by Alicia Masters in the comics.[[/note]] demonstrates human sympathy towards him.* HornAttack: "Invasion of the Super Skrull". While fighting the Thing, the Super Skrull used Reed Richard's elastic power to shape his head into that of a ram and head-butt the Thing with his horns, knocking him off the top of a building. * IJustWantToBeNormal: The Thing, to the extent where he even becomes the lackey of an evil scientist who offers to turn him human.* InMediasRes: The first episode produced and the first one aired both take place some time after the team's formation and the marriage of Reed and Sue. * IncredibleShrinkingMan: Doctor Doom shrinks the Fantastic Four in "The Micro World of Doctor Doom".* LamePunReaction: No one laughs at Ben's crack about waiting until "Doomsday" to face Doctor Doom again.* LaserGuidedAmnesia: "Invasion of the Super Skrulls" has an example. [[spoiler: After the Fantastic Four stop the Super Skrull from taking over the world, he proclaims that he can not return to his home planet, lest the king of the Skrulls punish him for his failure. Reed allows him to stay on Earth under the condition that he turns himself into a cow, then lets Reed erase his memories of being a Skrull.]] Note that this differs greatly from the aftermath of the Four's first encounter in the comics with the Super Skrull (but ''not'' from their first encounter with Skrulls in general).* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: "The Micro World of Doctor Doom" begins with Ben transporting a piano, while muttering to himself about how embarrassed he'd feel if any of his fans saw him.* LimitedAnimation: One particularly obvious example happens in the beginning of "Invasion of the Super Skrulls": The Four are going to get zapped by the Skrulls, yet only Sue moves, waving her hands once to create a {{deflector shield|s}}.* NarratingTheObvious: Par for the course in UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks.* NeverMyFault: Victor Von Doom blames Reed Richards for the accident that ruined his face. Everything Reed did in this case was warning Doom about some miscalculations and Doom decided to ignore the warning.* NeverSayDie: The characters refer to demises with such terms as "finished" and "done for".* {{Nonindicative Name}}s: "The Menace of the Mole Man" adapts a comic titled, "The Return of the Mole Man!", while "The Return of the Mole Man" adapts a comic titled, "The Mad Menace of the Macabre Mole Man". The former episode's title doesn't match its comic because Hanna-Barbera had yet to adapt the first ''Fantastic Four'' issue. (When they finally did so, they left out Mole Man's scenes to boot.)* NotQuiteDead: Somehow Doctor Doom manages to survive jumping out of an airplane and crash landing while flying a missile.* OriginsEpisode: "The Way It All Began" contains flashbacks to when Reed first met Ben and Victor Von Doom, the transformation of Victor into Doctor Doom, and the fateful trip that turned Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben into the Fantastic Four.* ProphecyTwist: "The Three Predictions of Doctor Doom" has Doom threaten that he will remove TheHeart of the Fantastic Four, that he will remove the strength of the Fantastic Four, and that the greatest power will conquer all. [[spoiler: Doom removes the heart by kidnapping Sue and the strength by turning [[TheBigGuy the Thing]] back into [[BroughtDownToNormal human Ben]], but since the Four ultimately overpowers him, he fails to "conquer all."]] * RaceLift: Twice and both times involved a Namor expy.** Prince Triton is a full Homo Mermanus instead of half as indicated by his blue skin and not being able to be outside of water.** Dr. Gamma is a fully human scientist who is mutated into some huge purple sea creature with a fin on his head. As a human he was Asian, in contrast to Namor whose human heritage was European.* RageAgainstTheReflection: Victor Von Doom becomes so disgusted at the sight of his post-explosion scarred face in a mirror, he smashes the mirror with his fist.* StayInTheKitchen: In "The Micro World of Doctor Doom", Doom's plan to make the Four slaves to lizard people would apparently result in Reed doing research, Ben working in mines, Johnny burning down enemy cities, and Sue...cooking everyone's meals.* TeamHandStack: Performed in the intro, the end credits, and the flashback of when the Four first practiced their superpowers and created their superhero names.* TitleMontage: The intro plays one following a depiction of the Four gaining their powers from the cosmic rays.** CreditsMontage: The end credits reel basically superimposes text over the above intro [[note]]Which was a regular occurrence in many (but not all) of Hanna-Barbera's shows until at least the mid-1970s.[[/note]].* TitleSequenceReplacement: Some reruns play the intro with just the visuals and music, no OpeningNarration.* YouDontLookLikeYou: Galactus has greener skin and a shorter height compared to how he looks in the comics. He also wears blue instead of purple.----
