The Biscuit Run deal certainly spoke to the idea that when it comes to getting things done, it's a straight-up question of who you know. Environmentalists applauded the deal that traded the specter of 3,100 new homes in southern Albemarle for the promise of a state park when Craig, joined by Dave Matthews Band fiddler Boyd Tinsley and then-Governor Tim Kaine, announced the state had purchased the property. And as Will Goldsmith points out in his comprehensive cover story this week, it's very likely that in generations to come, when there's a lovely park to enjoy only minutes from town, no one will care who made a phone call to which Richmond bureaucrat to fast track what plan nor whose wife sat on what board of directors with whom. Read the cover story here, and don't forget to leave your comments.
During a preliminary hearing in which the alleged victim burst into tears and ran out of the courtroom, a judge certified rape and forcible sodomy charges against a former UVA student. Stephen Dalton Baril, 20, is accused of pushing another student onto the bed of his Wertland Street apartment,

|* The tattoo industry is regulated by state.
Sometimes permanence is only temporary: Last year 43,000 Americans had tattoos removed by laser, according to the Millennium Research Group, a research firm that specializes in medical technology. In 2006, 20% of the approximately 18.5 million tattooed Americans researched removal methods, according to Millennium.
Tattoo removal can be a time-consuming and expensive procedure – requiring multiple sessions costing anywhere from $100 to several thousand dollars depending on the size of the tattoo. This may change eventually with the launch in November of a more easily removable tattoo ink called Freedom-2, which can take as little as one laser treatment to be removed. Although Freedom-2 may make tattoo removal easier, Dr. Lewis Stolman of the Dermatology & Laser Center of Northern New Jersey says to "consider tattoos permanent even with advances with laser technology and new inks."
Tattoos with yellow ink cannot be removed because the wavelengths in the color don't respond to lasers, says Dr. Roy Geronemus, director of the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York. Light shades of green can also be problematic. Although laser is the most popular form of tattoo removal, there are other methods such as dermabrasion and surgical excision. Topical creams claiming to fade tattoos away don't work, says Dr. Stolman.
Before scheduling a removal, you can check to ensure that your physician is board certified at the Web site of the American Board of Medical Specialties.
Dr. Geronemus says there have been complications from spas and salons that are removing tattoos without physicians or qualified medical personnel. Fill out this pre-surgery form from the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery when screening potential physicians.Dana Mattioli

D.C. United completed its sixth day of the "10 Days of Giving" campaign with a return to Bread for the City. During the first visit, United's staff helped prepare "turkey bags" for local community residents. On Wednesday, the Black-and-Red dropped off approximately 900 items of food that were donated by front office staff. Front office staff then stayed to volunteer at Bread for the City's food and clothing programs."We enjoy working with Bread for the City because it is in our neighborhood," explained United for D.C.'s program coordinator Kat Cheshire. "Bread for the City is across from an elementary school that United for D.C. adopted for both the United Reads and United Soccer Club programs. Some of the families who utilize Bread for the City's resources are the kids involved in our school programs. Our connection to the school and community help to put the importance of the food drive in perspective, especially when we see the shelves are bare."
D.C. United heads back to the Salvation Army on Tuesday, December 7, to volunteer with the Angel Tree Program. Volunteers are still needed for this event. If you are interested in volunteering with D.C. United please content Kat Cheshire at email@example.com.

Ahmadinejad: Iran relies on own capabilities in reconstructing country
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Semnan, Jan 8, IRNA -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday that domestic capabilities are the best means to reconstruct the country.
President Ahmadinejad made the remarks in a special ground-breaking ceremony for a combined cycle power plant in the central province of Semnan Tuesday morning.
The country is very rich in natural resources but some try to monopolize them to their own benefits, he said.
'If the Iranian nation gains access to these resources, the bullying powers cannot do the Iranian nation any harm,' he said.
'If the country's mines come on stream, there will be no need for oil, he said, adding 'This will dissuade the enemies from exploiting us,' he said.
Great cultured Iranian nation is the flag bearer of justice and monotheism in the world, he underlined.
'We should be vigilant while utilizing the country's natural resources,' he said.
President Ahmadinejad arrived in Semnan province this morning to inaugurate several industrial and construction projects.

Trade Creation, Trade Diversion effects of NAFTA on vegetable and fruit trade flows
The present study empirically estimates and evaluates the impact of NAFTA in the vegetable and fruit trade between the USA and Mexico. The import price elasticities suggest that imports are not sensitive to price changes. However, the income elasticities of import demand vary by commodities. As expected, the vegetables and fruits exhibit strong seasonality while the import dynamics are commodity-specific. The amount of trade expansion is estimated using import price elasticities from a dynamic import demand model for the commodities. This study demonstrates that there is trade expansion attributable to NAFA in the vegetable and fruit trade. The amount of Trade Creation (TC) is greater than the amount of Trade Diversion (TD) in most commodities examined.

An enthralling investigation into the mysteries of music. Have you ever wondered how off-key you are while singing in the shower? Or if your Bob Dylan albums really sound better on vinyl? Or why certain songs make you cry?
Now, scientist and musician John Powell invites you on an entertaining journey through the world of music. Discover what distinguishes music from plain old noise, how scales help you memorize songs, what the humble recorder teaches you about timbre (assuming your suffering listeners don't break it first), why anyone can learn to play a musical instrument, what the absurdly complicated names of classical music pieces actually mean, how musical notes came to be (hint: you can thank a group of stodgy men in 1939 London for that one), how to make an oboe from a drinking straw, and much more.
With wit and charm, and in the simplest terms, Powell explains the science and psychology of music. Clever, informative, and deeply engaging, How Music Works takes the secrets of music away from the world of badly dressed academics and gives every one of us—whether we love to sing or play air guitar—the means to enhance our listening pleasure.
©2010 John Powell (P)2010 Gildan Media Corp
"Powell conveys the material with enough humor and cocktail party facts to keep the book light and fun." (Publisher's Weekly)
"Answers for the mysteries of Music"
Thanks for the Fun information buffet on sounds, music, with great why and how explanations. The author served dessert at the end of each chapter with musical examples.
"Not as detailed as I'd like"
Wish there was actually more music theory in here, as well as more actual music (there is a bit), given that this is an audiobook. As an amateur guitarist of several years, knowing the basics of chords and scales, I don't feel like I learnt very much about music, other than a few tidbits.
"For the layperson or curious scientist"
Finally, an accessible discussion of what music actually is, from the nature of harmonious sounds all the way to the equal temperament system!
"increased my knowledge of music"
I'm not a musician, but was interested in learning the theory of music. This book delivered brilliantly.
"Some good chapters, but no musical sound bites"
A few chapters--like those on the development of the diatonic scale are really interesting. The author himself steps in at the end of some chapters to demonstrate principles on his guitar, and this really helps. Problems: there are spoken passages referring to notes and scales that could easily have been backed by musical audio. There are hundreds of places where this could have been done. In a description of a flute, there's no sound bite of a flute. Curious why they didn't bother to use more sounds. Some of content is poorly suited to the audio format.
"A good companion book for college music students.."
depends on the reader/listener. I am the kind of person who focuses best while driving, so audio books are great.
It covers a lot of basic information on sound and music in a straight-forward, easy-to-understand manner with enough humor to keep it from being dry.
Film???? no
YES - the writer should have a music theorist edit the terminology. There is a difference between a note (what we see on paper) and a pitch (what we hear). the author confuses these. There are a few other discrepancies which might hinder other music theory teachers from adopting this book.
"Huckleberry Jeeves"
This was mostly an entertaining and educational explanation of what it says on the label: How music works. I enjoyed it and learned a lot.
As for the narrator, what were they thinking? If you made a recording of Huckleberry Finn would you cast actors with posh English accents? No, because that would sound stupid wouldn't it? Similarly, in this book, the author uses many English expressions about going to pubs and eating chips with gravy, and these sound ridiculous out of the mouth of the American narrator.
Whenever I wasn't distracted by this conspicuous miscasting, I was enjoying the audiobook.
"That's how it works!"
Easly explained diference between ordinary music listener and those with perfect pitch, why some sounds match together and others not. How acients tuned their instruments and why it was standardized just in 1939. It's must have! for everyone who like to play or just learn to play an instrument.
Yes, it was.
"Very good"
Actually I liked it read by an American with intermittent blurbs read by the British author. It was really neat. I learned a lot and had fun listening. Highly recommended! The narration is wonderful. Add a little multi media with some music thrown in, and you have a winner! Loved it.
"excellent material - so so narrator"
Interesting explanation of many musical concepts. Music was a "magical talent" to me until I listened to this book.
First I didn't get the humor, but quickly got used to the British humor and started enjoying the book.
I thought the narrator was annoying and that, unfortunately, didn't change much till the end of the book.
the material is excellent
Wrong narrator. Pauses too often without a need. The most unnecessary pauses are often between "the" and what comes after it. Why do you need to say "the pitch"???

Need gift ideas? Techie type gifts always go over well at the holidays. For some great choices in unique gadget and gifts, I really like Hammacher Schlemmer and Verseo.com. Both stores stock some unique items, so you can find the perfect gift for the person who has everything!
Here are a few suggestions:
Wellness Infrared Sauna: When I saw this, I thought it was just the neatest thing, and pretty darn unique. I also was surprised that it didn't cost more (It is under $200, sometimes as low as $179). This home sauna folds up for easy storage and uses infrared heat to get you sweating for pore cleansing and detox, assuming you buy into the claim that saunas detox (not sure that I do, but I still love saunas!). It certainly is an interesting idea. Who would have thought of a portable sauna!
The Dermatologist's Sonic Misting Facial. Using special technology previously exclusive to dermatologists, this sonic misting facial system uses sonic vibrations coupled with a soothing mist to attack wrinkles and fine lines. the brush emits 11,000 vibrations per minute to exfoliate, while the oxygenated mist cleans the pores. There is a choice between warm or cool mist and gentle or deep exfoliation.
The Violight Million Germ Eliminating Travel Toothbrush Sanitizer. How often have you been disgusted by those plastic travel toothbrush holders? The brush stays damp and it all just seems like a germ haven. Here is the cure! This Violight compact toothbrush sanitizer uses tested germicidal UV technology like the kind used to sanitize hospital instruments in order to eliminate up to 99% of germs on your toothbrush, including streptococcus and listeria. The device sanitizes a toothbrush in under seven minutes, and is easily packed and portable. the bulb is rated for 2,000 hours of use. Pretty darn cool!
The Temple And Eye Massager. Perfect for relieving tension! This massager works on pressure points around your temples, forehead, and eyes to relieve sinus pressure and headaches. Great for people who do computer work or read for longs periods. The massager combines vibration massage, air-bag massage, and heat compression to stimulate blood flow, relieve fatigue, and soothe sore facial and eye muscles. In includes a remote control to quickly control intensity and type of vibration massage. You can also select a preferred temperature and focus the air-bag massage on either the temples or eye sockets. the device includes a five, 10, or 15 minute timer for constant massage and it has an integrated speaker that plays soothing nature sounds to assist with relaxation.
The Verseo eGlide: This home electrolysis roller painlessly zaps hair follicles for easy and effective permanent home hair removal and it does it at the very affordable price of $89. Unlike lasers, which cannot be used on facial hair and are not safe for dark skin, the eGlide can be used on the face and is safe for all skin tones. You can read more on our EGlide review page and in our home laser hair removal guide.

Until six years ago, basketball was Etienne Legare's sport of choice.
That ended when a friend asked him a simple question: "Why don't you play football?"
Legare joined his pal for a practice on the gridiron and fell in love with all things pigskin. The Toronto Argonauts yesterday became the beneficiary of Legare's sports switch, grabbing the 6-foot-3, 260-lb. defensive lineman with the second overall pick in the Canadian Football League Canadian draft.
"It all started there," the 26-year-old Legare said yesterday. "I was not really expecting to be a football player."
Legare was the CIS lineman of the year in 2008.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats surprised no one when they took offensive lineman Simeon Rottier with the first pick. The B.C. Lions took running back Jamall Lee, who led the CIS in rushing last year and signed last week with the Carolina Panthers of the NFL, with the third pick.
Gee, that was a surprise
While all eyes at a draft are naturally on the top selections, one of the very last picks yesterday has created a bit of a dilemma for Ottawa native Ryan Mousseau.
The Alouettes called the former Gee-Gees offensive lineman's name with the second-to-last pick in yesterday's draft. And now, he has a big decision to make.
"I had no idea," said Mousseau, who is 22, 6-foot-2 and 280 lbs., of being drafted. His plan was to finish a university degree and move on.
Despite being drafted, the Notre Dame High School grad is uncertain about his football future after learning he was the lone Gee-Gee selected.
"I have some thinking to do," Mousseau said.
Even if he ends up not attending the Alouettes' training camp in June, having his name called at the draft will remain an unforgettable experience.
"Not many people can say they were drafted."

Tourist Tip #178 / The Agam Sculpture in Dizengoff Square, Tel Aviv
Once a communal center of early Tel Aviv, Dizengoff Square lost its luster. But with a makeover, it may be on the verge of regaining its former glory.
When it was built in the 1930s, Tel Aviv's Dizengoff Square was a pleasant spot with plenty of trees, shaded benches and a fountain in the center...

Since mid-July new fall fashions, such as shrunken brown-velvet jackets and Victorian-style blouses, have been gathering dust on racks at...
NEW YORK — Since mid-July new fall fashions, such as shrunken brown-velvet jackets and Victorian-style blouses, have been gathering dust on racks at the nation's retailers.
It's now almost the end of September, and for many merchants a combination of hot weather, subdued fashions in dark colors, high gasoline prices and the ripple effects of Hurricane Katrina have made shoppers stay away from clothing stores.
If sales don't pick up soon, retailers will be forced to cancel some future fall orders, fueling more concern about consumer spending for the holiday season.
"I am still in flip-flops. I am just not there mentally," said Lina Allocca, from Madison, N.J., who hasn't been to a mall in more than a month. But when she does return, she will be more frugal given all the economic uncertainty.
"I don't want to make any impulse buys," she said. "I don't want to do anything to put me over the top just because it is cute and trendy."
Allocca's concerns are echoed in a new Associated Press-Ipsos poll that says consumers are worried about rising food and gasoline prices.
None of this bodes well for spending, which has been one of the engines driving the nation's economy.
"I am worried that without some positive offset, what we will have is a continuation of an uneven performance by the retailers, one that is trending lower and lower," said Michael Niemira, chief economist at the International Council of Shopping Centers. On Tuesday, he pared his September sales forecast to a 3.0 percent gain, from 3.5 percent, after a sharp decline last week.
Niemira's estimate is based on sales at stores opened at least a year, known as same-store sales, which are considered a good indicator of a retailer's health.
Niemira is concerned that the weakness is becoming broad-based with the exception of high-end stores, whose well-heeled shoppers continue to splurge.
"Business has turned really sluggish. There is a lack of traffic in the stores," said Roseanne Cumella, senior vice president of merchandising at the Doneger Group, a New York retail consultancy, which advises major stores on what fashions to buy. "There is overall uncertainty with the economy and gas prices."
Cumella said clients, which include discounters and department stores, have struggled with a sales drop this month compared to a year ago.
Shoppers are also unimpressed with fall fashions. The season's lineup — which includes boxier jackets and Victorian-style, high-collared lace blouses in dark colors — are far more conservative than last year's bright-colored body-conscious clothing.
"Forest greens and browns just don't jump out at you," said Marshal Cohen, chief analyst at NPD Group, a market-research company in Port Washington, N.Y.
Even before Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast more than two weeks ago, consumers were struggling to fit higher gasoline prices into their budgets, hurting low-price stores such as Wal-Mart.
Worries about consumer spending escalated after Katrina, whose costs are being played out in near-record energy prices, snarled shipping traffic, which threatens to push food prices higher, and lost jobs. Analysts are concerned that consumers' financial pressures will worsen this winter when consumers get slammed with their home heating bills.
The Associated Press-Ipsos poll, conducted Friday through Sunday, revealed that 65 percent of the 1,000 people surveyed expected that gasoline price increases will cause financial hardship in the next six months, with 39 percent of that group describing it as "serious." Only 34 percent said it would not cause financial hardship. One percent said they were not sure.
As for higher food prices, 44 percent of those polled said it would cause financial hardship in the next six months, compared with 55 percent, who said it would not. One percent of the respondents said they weren't sure.
The survey also found that 58 percent polled expected the sharp increase in gasoline prices after Hurricane Katrina will be long-term, while 41 percent thought it would be short-term. One percent said they weren't sure.
Amid such worries, two retail forecasts predicted slower growth in holiday sales from last year.
The National Retail Federation projected holiday sales, which encompass November and December, to increase 5 percent, less than the 6.7 percent gain in 2004.
Ernst & Young estimated that total holiday retail sales will rise between 6 percent and 7 percent, compared with last year's 8.3 percent increase.
The good news for consumers will be that the nation's retailers are expected to be more aggressive about discounting from the start of the holiday season. But they better be very generous for shoppers like Allocca.
"I am looking for more than 40 percent off," the 35-year-old said.

With father's day quickly coming up quickly, Sonos has offered up a nice infographic showing how your musical taste came from your fathers musical taste. According to Sonos;
There's no end to the reasons why you listen to the music you do today, but we're willing to bet that more than a few of you were subjected to your father's music at some point in the past (or present). So that leads to the question: what do dear old dad's listening habits say about the artists in your repertoire? In honor of Father's Day, we tried our hand at finding out.
With that, hit the link below to check out the full infographic over on the Sonos Blog, and while your are there, give their systems a look over. And for those who missed it, we recently had the opportunity to play with a Sonos system in our office and we have to say — it rocks.

The Kola Norwegians (Norwegian: Kolanordmenn) were Norwegian settlers along the coastline of the Kola Peninsula in Russia.
In 1860 the Russian Tsar Alexander II granted permission for Norwegian settlements on the Kola. Around 1870, scores of families from Finnmark in northern Norway departed for the Kola coast, attracted by the prospects of fishing and trade. The Russian authorities granted them privileges to trade with Norway.
Most of them settled in Tsyp-Navolok (Russian: Цыпнаволок) on the easternmost tip of the Rybachiy Peninsula (Russian: Полуостров Рыбачий; Norwegian: Fiskerhalvøya - both terms meaning "Fishermen's Peninsula"). Others settled in Vaydaguba (Russian: Вайдагуба) at the northwestern tip (Russian: мыс Немецкий; Cape Nemetskiy, i.e. "Cape German") of the same peninsula. A vibrant society developed, retaining contact with Norway, especially with the town of Vardø. Some settlers returned to Norway shortly after the Russian Revolution of 1917, but most of them remained at Tsyp-Navolok. In 1917 perhaps about 1000 lived on the Kola.[citation needed]
On 23 June 1940 Lavrenty Beria of the NKVD ordered the Murmansk Oblast, encompassing the entire Kola Peninsula, to be cleaned of "foreign nationals". As a result, the entire Norwegian population was deported for resettlement in the Karelo-Finnish SSR. Soon they had to move from there too, because of pressures caused by the Finnish invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. In spring 1942, a large proportion died of starvation and malnutrition.
Despite many having served in the Red Army, they were not allowed to return home to the Kola after the end of the Second World War. Many children were raised without learning to speak Norwegian.
Recent history[edit]
After 1992, some descendants of the original settlers began to emphasise their family backgrounds, although only a few had been able to maintain a rusty knowledge of the Vardø dialect of the Norwegian language. Some have now migrated to Norway. There are special provisions in Norwegian immigration law which ease this process, albeit generally being less permissive than those which pertain in other countries which operate a "right of return". In order to obtain a permit to move to Norway and work there, a foreign citizen must show an adequate connection to the country, such as having two or more grandparents who were born there.[2] As for citizenship, it is awarded on the same basis as to anyone else — which basis includes the formal renunciation of the original citizenship.[3] By 2004, approximately 200 Kola Norwegians had settled in Norway.[4]
In 2007, the small village of Port-Vladimir, the last stronghold of the Kola Norwegians lost its official recognition due to depopulation.[5] Only 98 individuals identified themselves as Norwegians in the 2010 Census of Russia, including 20 in St. Petersburg, 11 in Murmansk, and 4 in Karelia.[6]

Futures for the Euro STOXX 50, Britain's FTSE 100, Germany's DAX and France's CAC were flat to 0.3 percent lower by 0633 GMT. "It's all about the ECB at the moment and this is likely to keep some investors at bay just in case next week's stimulus plan is not as aggressive as the market anticipates," IG said in a note. Reuters reported earlier this month that the ECB is preparing a package of policy options for its June 5 meeting that includes cuts in all its interest rates. Investors will keep a close eye on banks after the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, said on Thursday the U.S. Justice Department was pushing BNP Paribas to pay more than $10 billion to resolve a criminal probe into allegations the French bank evaded U.S. sanctions against Iran and other countries for years. BNP Paribas and the Justice Department declined to comment. "Beyond the uncertainty related to the potential financial settlement, the key issues remain of the type of potential charges and impact on BNP Paribas' operational capability," Citi said in a note. Citi removed BNP Paribas from its Focus List Europe citing the uncertainty, but retained a "buy" rating on the shares. Investors' focus will also be on economic data for hints about the market's near-term direction. Figures showed on Friday that German year-on-year retail sales grew at their strongest rate in April since June 2012 as Easter fell later this year than last. Analysts said that equities had become vulnerable following recent sharp gains to new highs and could slip in the absence of a fresh catalyst. The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index closed 0.1 percent higher on Thursday at 1,379.05 points, within a whisker of this week's six-year high of 1,380.52 points. The U.S. S&P 500 index climbed to its third record closing high in four sessions on Thursday as traders shrugged off data showing the economy shrank in the first quarter and bet on improvement in the second quarter.

"There seems to be no stigma now for dating men a few years younger," said Steve Slon, editor of the magazine which is pitched at the over 50s.
"Twenty years ago, women didn't have the jobs. Today they have the jobs, they have the money, they can call the shots," he said.
A rash of other celebrities have also developed a keen eye for younger men recently.
Hollywood star Moore, 40, is dating 25-year-old Ashton Kutcher. Madonna, 45, is married to film director Guy Ritchie, 10 years her junior.
And Charlie's Angel's star Cameron Diaz, 31, is dating Justin Timberlake, the 22-year-old singer and ex-boyfriend of Britney Spears.
The AARP survey reported that six in 10 singles aged between 40 and 69 are women, and most of them are divorced.
It found 42 per cent of the men and 24 per cent of the women had never been married.
Although they yearned for younger men, only two per cent of single women in the age group approved of sex on a first date - 10 times fewer than the men.
About 60 per cent of the women and 45 per cent of the men said they had not had sex in the past six months. More than half the men questioned - 60 per cent - and 35 per cent of the women believed they did not have sex often enough.
A third of the singletons had difficulty finding dates, and wanted to start a romance if only they could find the right person.
The main reason among both men and women for finding a date was for fun and companionship. Only 11 per cent of the men and two per cent of the women said sex was their main motivation.
A similar number of men said marriage was their goal, while seven per cent of women said they went on a date with wedding bells at the forefront of their minds.
About 1407 men and 2,094 women aged 40 to 69 were questioned for the survey conducted by AARP, formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons.

text: Sega today threw in the towel on games console production, announcing a restructuring of the company to focus on software production. The move could signal a downturn in the games design market for designers - at least until newcomer Microsoft enters the fray with Xbox. The new business strategy, which is due to be detailed Wednesday evening in Tokyo, has three main parts: the move to become a platform-independent video game publisher, a focus on networking gaming technologies and the licensing of its Dreamcast chip-set to other companies. Sega said it will adopt technologies such as Java to take its games to new platforms including handheld computers running the Palm operating system and Motorola cellular telephones. Games for both those devices are due this year, it said. We'll update this story as it breaks throughout the day.

Texas improved to 2-2 on the season after beginning its Big 12 slate with a 31-21 home win over Kansas State on Saturday. Here are three things we learned about the Longhorns:
1. This ain't over, folks
While the rest of the country prepared their casket and their eulogies, ready to declare this Texas team dead and done after one more loss, the Longhorns simply got back to work and showed up a far more confident team than the one that stumbled against BYU and Ole Miss. Texas' defense stopped the run and forced key turnovers late, and its offense came out firing early, impressed on the ground and survived despite missing so many starters. Several players said after the game they feel this win gets the program back on the right track. This was a must-win game, and Texas took care of business with a performance that should take some heat off Mack Brown this week.
2. Power run game exists
It's hard to judge just how good the Texas offensive line was without going back and reviewing film, but to the naked eye it seemed they owned the line of scrimmage against K-State and cleared the way for a career night from Johnathan Gray. That offensive line, which was missing its starting right tackle, has been criticized for being average and not physical enough but stepped up on a night when Texas really needed its run game. That's a promising development for the Longhorns' future.
3. Too many injuries
Let's run down the list of ailing starters: QB David Ash, RB/WR Daje Johnson, WR Mike Davis, TE Greg Daniels, OG Mason Walters, OT Josh Cochran, LB Jordan Hicks, LB Dalton Santos ... and that's not including backups and guys with minor injuries. We know little about the status of Ash and Hicks, though Walters and Santos did play against KSU while continuing to recover. The bye week couldn't come at a better time because too many important guys are banged up. Surviving KSU without top playmakers Ash, Johnson and Davis was admirable, but Texas needs them back.

I am a 34 year old male who makes his home in Warner Robins, Georgia. I grew up a die-hard Atlanta Braves fan even in the lean years. While going to school at Clearwater Christian College in Clearwater, Florida, I became a fan of the Tampa Bay Rays. Those are the teams I enjoy writing about. I don't have any formal writing training, but I love to discuss and debate sports.
In wake of the ALCS, please check out my interview with the former Yankee and Angel, the truly inspirational, Jim Abbott!
with the first half almost over, there have been some very pleseant surprises.
Hey Scott,
The AL East is insane right now, its anyones division. Or is it? And how do you take it?
Hope you can check it out! Thanks!
Rays or Rangers? Upcoming series will see a HR-binge.
My take on how the all-star voting should go at SS and 3B
Hey Scott,
Ryan Zimmerman's hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined '56,' and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.
Thanks in advance!
-Stephen (Heartbeat of the Bronx)
I have found over the past month or so that I write best when I allow my heart to lead my head. Please check out my latest, I would be interested in any feedback you may have, or even anyone who would make your team. Thanks
Hey Scott,
Lou Gehrig has somehow been forgotten amongst the game's immortals, even though he was possibly even more of a reason for the success of Ruth's 1927 Yankees. Read about the quiet, forgotten leader of "Murderer's Row," Henry Lou Gehrig.
Thanks in advance!
-Stephen (Heartbeat of the Bronx)
I've got a silver lining take on the upcoming Pirates season. Take a look when you have a chance- it's a short read...Thanks, and Happy Baseball!
Hey Scott
This is the third in my "connections" series, and I think my favorite so far. Taking a slightly different look at the wrestling world, through philosophy and ethics…

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of LSI wind speed sensors that can mislead machine operators.
The LSI wind speed sensors can "fail to display an accurate data reading," the commission said. If that occurs, it could "cause crane operators and others to incorrectly gauge wind conditions, posing a risk of injury from impact to the consumer," the commission said in news release late Wednesday.
The sensors were made by Load Systems International of Quebec, Canada. They were sold for about $400 from March 2013 through June 2013.
The recall involves LSI Model GS025 with serial numbers 100015 and 100412. They are charcoal-gray with LSI printed on one side and three windspeed cups on the top.
Consumers were advised to stop using the sensors and contact LSI for instructions on how to return them for a replacement unit.
Consumers can call 888-819-4355 for information.

Sunspots: John and Joe Conroy
It can be said of the well-drilling business that it's a mighty deep subject. Lifelong Hancock residents and fourth-generation well drillers, John and Joe Conroy, may tend to agree.
The Conroy family has been drilling wells in the west central Minnesota area for 130 years. In 1878, John's grandfather and namesake traveled with two oxen and a tent from the railroad stop at Clontarf, Minn., to homestead in what is now section 15, Tara Township, Swift County. Along with working his own farm, he was asked to drill wells and put up windmills for those who settled in the area. The work was done manually and with horses.
Around 1900 John [grandfather] built a shop and home in Hancock where the current city water tower stands, and went into the well business full-time with his brother. In 1925 John's son, Francis (Irish), joined the business. The father and son continued to drill wells and put up windmills with horsepower until 1941 when they switched to a Howell gas-powered wood-framed drill rig. The service rig and pull-vehicle was a 1941 Chevrolet pickup.
In 1955 the old wood-framed drill rig was replaced with an iron-framed truck-mounted Bucyrus Erie drill rig. John Conroy retired in the early 1940s and Irish was joined in the business by sons John, Jim, Pat and Mick.
In the late 1960s Irish retired and son John took over the business. John converted to a modern rotary drilling rig in 1968, and soon after installed the first plastic-cased well in west central Minnesota, setting the standard for the years to come. The Schramm rig now in use is entirely hydraulic rather than mechanical; state-of-the-art equipment for drilling.
John and wife Della have four children: Julia, Joe, Tom and Mary.
John's son Joe joined the business in 1992. Daughter Julia and son-in-law Josh have also worked in the business. "Girls can do it too," said John, who hopes to pass his legacy to a fifth generation, possibly even a granddaughter.
Joe and wife Shawna have two daughters, Greta and Lauren. Joe is a 1994 graduate of Hancock High School and studied geology at the University of Minnesota, Morris.
But back to the business of well drilling. How does one even begin to drill a well?
"Dad picks the spot," said Joe. "We ream out a small hole, then put on a bigger bit and drill in the same spot to find water. We insert a five to six-inch diameter plastic casing. The time it takes to drill depends on how many rocks you hit. When all goes well, we can dig a 120-foot well in a 12-14 hour day."
"My dad could dig an average of eight wells in the summer, eight in the winter," said John. "Now we can dig about 30 in an average year."
Joe, who dug his first well alone at the age of 17, admits he "does things differently" than his dad. In a sometimes-dangerous business—working in deep trenches and with heavy equipment—"I'm always looking for a faster and better way. After that first time when I mishandled a pressure tank, it was three years before Dad would let me go alone again. His advice to me is 'slow down.'"
John's dad told his son to "get up early," advice which he follows to this day, rising around 5 a.m. or whenever daylight breaks.
Well drilling is "not a job," said the Conroys. "It's a way of life, you're always on call…you don't retire." The Conroys don't own four-wheelers or snowmobiles, but both like to garden when there's time.
"With bigger farms and businesses today, well drilling is a declining occupation," said John, who operates one of the oldest well-drilling businesses in the state. Still, the Conroys remain in west central Minnesota as their family has for generations because their friends and neighbors need them. "Farmers need good water. We're still working for some of the same farms and replacing wells in this area that we installed in the 1960s."

Kevin Manthei Interview
May 13, 2004 - Kevin Manthei Interview
Dead to Rights
November 18, 2002 - Some of you may remember the great Street Fighter II craze of the early 1990s. The biggest, most popular game in the arcades for an unfathomable amount of years, SF2 was a sought-after property for both Sega and Nintendo as they battled for the hottest franchise around. Eventually snagged by Mario and company, Street Fighter II and Street Fighter II: Turbo Hyper Fighting went on to become some of the successful and popular Super Nintendo assets there were. For the longest time, gamers who craved their own brand of Ryu justice had one system and one system only to turn to. That is, until the Genesis finally got its own platform-exclusive edition touting specific gameplay additions, graphical tweaks, and option changes that the SNES cartridge didn't have. For the first time in the game's illustrious history, player's had a choice as to where they could fight --and they were happy about it. Funny how history repeats itself...
Hands-on with Dead to Rights
May 16, 2002 - Jack Slate might be the most capable cop to ever appear in a videogame. The star of Dead to Rights has the proper motivation -- vengeance -- for an action hero but he's got more moves and more weapons at his disposal than anybody this side of Indiana Jones.
Namco Confirms GameCube Development Plans
May 23, 2001 - In a financial statement issued today, Namco confirmed its development…
Dead to Rights Interview (PS2)
May 18, 2001 - Announced this last winter at a press conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, Namco's new, in-house San Jose-based studio has begun deep development on a game called Dead to Rights. The action-shooter is styled as a cinematic mystery that hopes to bring the kind of serious visual poetry seen in John Woo films. But with Namco's reputation as a strong developer, the game has a high bar of excellence set for it. Can the Western house of Namco do it?

For Sale: .220 Swift Brass, Dies, Barrel; RCBS Uniflow Trickler Attachment (Utah)
Up for sale: Norma and Winchester .220 Swift brass, .220 Swift RCBS FL dies, Ruger M77 .220 Swift factory barrel, and RCBS Uniflow powder trickler attachment.
The barrel and trickler will be in the second post in this thread.
Shipping is negotiable, but I prefer to use USPS. I live in an area that suffers from poor service with packages, for anything other than USPS Priority Mail (FedEx and UPS should not be considered valid options). First Class mail is acceptable, but may result in a slow shipment.
Cash or Postal Money Order. No GunPal, PayPal, etc.
PM me, if interested. First PM for any given item has priority.
The former .220 Swift is now a .243 Win. So, all proceeds go to the "buy FrankenMauser a swaging press" fund.
Notes (*) are just before the images.
.220 Swift Brass
I am going to be very specific with the condition of this brass. I don't want anyone thinking they received something that was not as described. I know I could sell it faster if listed as "xxx pieces of brass for sale", but I don't want anyone feeling disappointed.
Most of this brass has been deprimed, but
sized. All of this brass has gone through my tumbler, to remove any sizing lube or dirt/grit/grime. Most boxes have reloading data stickers, of some kind, on them.
(boxes of 20 unprimed cases) - (*1)
3 boxes, once-loaded, unfired. $15 / box.
1 box, 17 cases once-loaded/unfired, 3 cases once-fired. $12.
(boxes of 20 unprimed cases, unless otherwise noted) -
8 boxes, new. $9 / box.
1 box, twice-loaded, unfired. $8. (*2)
2 boxes, once-fired. $8 / box.
1 box of 19 cases, once-fired, one extra case (#20) has a thin neck (outside turned). $7.
1 box of 19 cases, once fired. $7.
1 box of 18 cases, once fired. $6.50.
1 box, twice-fired. $6.50.
1 box of 19 cases, thrice-fired. $5.
1 MTM Case-Guard (R-100) ammunition carrier with 45 new cases, and 42 once-fired cases (segregated into three bagged lots, based on the load fired - bags of 15, 21, 6). All of this brass is from the same lot. (If I find the other bag of 13 once-fired cases, they'll be thrown in for free.) $40.
RCBS 2-Die Set
Full-length sizer. Includes RCBS #11 and Hornady #4 (not pictured) shell holder. Decapping assembly is the new style with a "headed" decapping pin (one extra pin included). Lock rings have been upgraded (unknown brand - Forster? Old-style Hornady?). $21.
Take it all for $225, with FREE first-class or flat-rate shipping.
(400+ W-W cases, 80 Norma cases, and the dies / shell holders)
*While the rifle was being rebarreled to another cartridge, I pulled-down all of my hand loads. That is the reason for the 'X-times loaded' references, with some of this brass. Most of this brass was purchased between 1983 and 1986.
*1: All of this brass has dark blemishes on the case heads, and a few cases have the blemishes on the case body. It's a surface discoloration of some kind, and did not negatively effect the two boxes of Norma brass (purchased at same time) that were fired and reloaded until failure .
*2: Inherited from my father with a load I didn't trust. Pulled down, reloaded, and never fired with my own load. Pulled down, again, to be sold.

Is there any config settings for vino? How can this be fixed?

Every now and then, your community does something that's good for the waters in your area. Last Fall, the town that we live in now; Merrimac, MA, put in a series of signs on the road that warned against dumping fluids or materials near one of our major waterways; the Merrimack River.
The Merrimack is the second largest river in New England; behind the Connecticut. When I grew up as a kid it was terribly polluted by the factories that used to be operative in the Haverhill, Lawrence and Lowell areas; the final days of the tanniing and shoe industries. In fact, it was categorized as a class H river in those days; which meant, essentially, that if you lit a match and tossed it on the water, there we about a 50:50 chance that it would catch on fire. That's hyperbole, but it was bad. The most outstanding thing about the Merrimack River when I was growing up was it smell.
Fast forward 50 years. THe factories are all shut down; re-purposed to more environmentally friendly uses. The popluation is environmentally conscious, there are no more effluents draining in and it's now a class B river; which means that you can do almost anything you want in it except drink it.
So, here's the good idea that Marty and I recorded today on our walk along the river:
And here are some of the small streams that drain into the Merrimack; some are vernal and go dry in the Summer, but most are spring-fed and stay wet throughout the year:
And here's the river that they're feeding and that the signs are helping to protect:
I think it's a really good idea and I'm happy to be a part of a community that acts in this way on behalf of our natural water resources.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Put a Halter on a Horse With Head Fright
A horse with head fright will try to avoid having a halter placed on. Obviously, this is both unhelpful and potentially dangerous for you and needs a careful approach. This article sets out a way to get a halter on a horse with head fright.
1Stay calm and patient above all. The horse can sense your frustration and/or fear and will respond to it.
2Put your halter in your horse's food. While your horse's head is in the food, slowly pull the halter on to the horse's face. If it doesn't work the first time, try again patiently.
3While putting the halter on the horse, gently rub his neck. This helps him to sense that there is nothing to be afraid of.
4Gently and slowly fasten the halter.
5When you get the halter on without any trouble, reward him with a treat. He will associate the treat with behaving when putting on the halter.
6It will probably take two weeks to a month or so for this to work, depending on how head shy your horse is. If he has been abused, it will probably take a little longer, so be prepared to persevere and show your horse that you can be trusted.

- Be calm and patient at all times.
