CHAPEL HILL - North Carolina defensive tackle Sylvester Williams isn't expecting the normal fun for Saturday's homecoming game at Kenan Stadium.
The Tar Heels (6-3 overall, 3-2 in ACC) play Georgia Tech (4-5, 3-3), which is one of the rare schools at the Football Bowl Subdivision level that runs a true triple-option offense. The Yellow Jackets are among the best at running the ground-oriented attack as evidenced by their Atlantic Coast Conference-leading 318.2 yards rushing average.
What all that means for Williams and the rest of the Tar Heel defensive front is a tough day in the trenches tangling with Georgia Tech offensive linemen trying to knock them of their feet.
"For me, it's not going to be fun at all,'' Williams said Monday. "It's never fun when you have guys diving at your legs. There are a lot of bodies on the ground (when playing Georgia Tech). They try to cut (block) a lot.''
A "cut" or "chop'' block occurs when an offensive lineman attempts to get a defensive lineman to the ground by diving at his feet or ankles. Because knee and ankle injuries often result from those type blocks, they are usually considered illegal, except in the open field where a defender can more easily avoid it.
Many consider the cut block a dirty play. Williams just considers it more of a nuisance.
"I'd much rather play a spread or pro-style offense where I can rush the passer,'' Williams said. "There is so much going on. You really have to be prepared and watch a lot of film. Everybody has to do their job because if one guy makes a mistake, it could be a 30- or 40-yard gain.''
UNC is fortunate to have had extra time to prepare for Georgia Tech's attack. The Tar Heels haven't played since October 27 when running back Gio Bernard produced a 74-yard punt return in the closing seconds to beat rival N.C. State, 43-35.
The emotional victory ended a five-game losing streak against the Wolfpack and left UNC just one-half game behind Miami in the ACC Coastal Division standings. The Tar Heels are ineligible to win the Coastal championship due to NCAA sanctions, but finishing atop the standings is still a goal with three games remaining on the schedule.
"I sense our goal is to win the Coastal Division, and we are still within reach of our goal,'' UNC coach Larry Fedora said. "I think our players are excited about that. I think they know that we really control our own destiny, if we take care of our business.''

I bought a 500GB Seagate Momentus XT from eBuyer this week and I'm having problems.
I successfully installed the disk in my MacBook Pro (bought new in June 2009) and proceeded to run a fresh install of Mac OS X Lion, the installation was looking good until a message appeared stating "Install failed" and that I would have to restart and try again. I did try it again but received the same message.
I then tried installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard using the DVD that came with my MacBook Pro, I also got the "Install failed" message.
Prior to running each failed installation I partitioned the drive with a GUID partition table.
I've now removed the disk from my MacBook Pro (so I can post this message) and I'm honestly not sure what to try next, it would seem my only option at this stage is to return the disk which is something I didn't really want to do as the reviews for the speed of this disk look great.
Any help is much appreciated!
Put the drive in a PC, or an external housing --- if it works fine --- it is not likely the culprit.
Are you installing via a disk clone program, or a fresh install from the DVD or via a USB stick?
If you are cloning.. that is almost sure to be a suspect.
Check the connection / ribbon cable, etc. of drive to the Mac --- that is the biggest source of problems.
Damaged / ill fitting cable / improperly seated connectors... are all known trouble.
I don't have external housing but I will see if either my PC or a friends PC/laptop will accept it for testing.
I have tried installing from a Lion USB stick and an original Snow Leopard DVD so I don't think they're the culprit.
The connection/ribbon cable within my Mac can't be at fault as its working perfectly with the original drive (I'm using it now!).
I will do some further testing but I'm still swaying towards a faulty drive given the suggested solutions here.
Thanks for your help, if you have any further suggestions please let me know.
Don't worry about loose cables or connections. In the mac it is so easy to change the drive, that only a complete nut could have such problems. But then you can also not format the drive.
I wonder if you performed a firmware update on the drive prior to formatting. I would also check if you chose the right format.... for macos...
I have a 2009 macbook pro 13" and in my computer it worked untill now. The preferred method to my humble believe is to make a clone from your drive using Carbon Copy Cloner. You can by an external housing for the drive for a few bucks and it is worth the try. Later you can use your old drive in the external housing.
Don't worry about cloning causing troubles because it doesn't.
Yeah I certainly didn't struggle with installing the drive, the MacBook made things very easy.
I haven't performed any firmware upgrades to the drive (as yet).
I partitioned the drive using the disk tool in the Lion/Snow Leopard installation and used the default format, Mac OS Journaled from memory.
It doesn't seem like I'm getting any closer to a fix here
Quick update:
I upgraded the disks firmware to the latest, SD28, and the problem remains, both on Lion and Snow Leopard clean installations.
I'm going to arrange a refund as this isn't right. Very disappointed.
I am having the very same issue, I have tried to install Lion on this thing several times; I even took my MBP to the Apple Store to see if I was missing something. The tech support guy was also unable to figure out what was going on, whether it was Lion, Snow Leopard, or the recovery DVD for my MBP's particular build. I even thought that it might be the partition map, as in, lemon's link one post up, but even with GUID, no dice.
Do I have a bum drive, or is it the model itself?
AskTheLeaf wrote:In order for the Momentus installation to work right with your Mac system, be sure to select "GUID, Mac OS extended Journaled." when you set up the drive.
Let me know how that works out for you.
If you tried this and it didn't work... it is time to call tech support... and see what they say.
I was afraid it would come to that. First thing in the morning.
I'll let you know what happens.

As the clock ticks down to midnight in Annapolis, Maryland lawmakers are frantically working to pass the state's budget.
With just over an hour to go, Gov. Martin O'Malley met with State House reporters to give his take on the 2012 legislative session, speaking specifically about the budget. (See video)
Be sure to check back with Patch for a full recap of the 2012 General Assembly.

Taxes are already way too high in Maryland. Too much waste and fraud in Maryland Medicaid and other programs. And too many freeloaders and deadbeats that don't pay any state income taxes. Just say no to higher taxes.
Jim Clarke
April 10, 2012 at 12:18 PM
I wonder how much of the $800 billion in cuts in the budget that Gov. O'Malley refers to were actually cuts and not reductions in proposed budget increases.
Is anyone tired of hearing the Governor overuse the phrase "moving forward"?
I know I am. Every time he uses that phrase he takes more of our money.
He now uses it about as often as a surfer uses the phrase "hey dude!"
My wallet is now empty.
Thank you, Dude.

O'Malley has ruined this state. When will brainwashed voters in this state finally realize we need fiscal conservatives in Annapolis!?
Julie Henn

More taxation, no representation. Sure the freeloaders are going to re-elect these clowns - why wouldn't they? Meanwhile, O'Malley's driving businesses, jobs, and hard working citizens out of the state. Bring Back Bob!

Our State of Maryland is the sum of it's citizens. Well funded schools, universities, and the recreation facilities necessary to shape and guide our children and young adults into educated, fair minded leaders of tomorrow, is where our resources need to be spent. Think of the jobs in education, & recreation, now, & into a Just Future.

RETHINKING RUNWAY: Alexander McQueen has had the most theatrical show of Milan Men's Fashion Week for years, but this summer, the designer will present his collection in some other format. His publicists say they are working on "something very special," which will definitely not be a sit-down runway show. Meanwhile, it looks like the Marni men's presentation will remain a presentation. And Calvin Klein Collection confirmed its New York jaunt was a one-time deal, and the show will return to Milan in June.

The University of Newcastle's unique Natural History Illustration program is set to benefit from a large donation of rare and beautiful insects.
Husband and wife team Dr George and Katherine Hangay have spent a lifetime collecting the 2,700 insects, which they have donated.
This is the second donation from the Hangays, who in 2008 donated a collection of 3,000 insects to the University. Both donations are valued at an estimated $70,000.
Dr Hangay said they have spent the past three years working their new donation as each and every insect must be individually prepared.
"Each insect needs to be pinned, arranged, dried and labelled. We spend as much as six hours a day preparing 20 to 30 insects," Dr Hangay said.
The collection features specimens from Australia, Africa and South America and includes specimens that do not exist in many major museum collections.
Dr Trevor Weekes, Senior Lecturer and Convenor of the Natural History Illustration program said the collection allowed students the opportunity to observe firsthand the intricacies of these beautiful and amazing insects.
"We are ecstatic to receive this donation for our students to draw. The Natural History Illustration program is the only one of its type in Australia. The Hangays generosity is a demonstration of their belief in what we are doing and the importance they place on our program."
University of Newcastle Foundation CEO, Louise O'Connell, thanked the Hangays for their generous gift.
"This is quite an unusual donation to the University, and it is an invaluable addition to the resources available to our Natural History Illustration students."
Anyone interested in making a donation to the University can contact the University of Newcastle Foundation on (02) 49217 453 or visit the website at www.newcastle.edu.au/foundation.
About the University of Newcastle Foundation:
The University of Newcastle Foundation aims to encourage philanthropic support for the University of Newcastle. Donations help fund student scholarships and prizes, academic positions and research and University projects.

These heroes hail from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico and represent the wide spectrum of individuals involved in the adoption and foster care process. Since the program's inception in 1999,over 1,800 Angels have received this honor. CCAI also honors a select number of National Angels in Adoption™.

Amuse at The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
Online Reservations
We have come to enjoy driving over from Charlottesville for special exhibits, and starting off our time at the museum with lunch at Amuse with local friends. The menu usually offers several good choices, and the service has always been excellent. I think this will be a positive factor in making a decision as to renewing our membership for 2014. --Stu Zellmer
This was my first time eating at Amuse. The service was great. The food was great. The ambiance was great. The only thing that I did not enjoy was the table/chair choices. The tables were bistro sytle, small and circular. The chairs had a low back to them and I found myself sitting completely straight all night long without resting my back or leaning onto the table with my elbows. My 6'6" fiance had a very difficult time fitting into the table/chair set. Also, it seemed to me that the set didn't quite "look" right in the restaurant's overall aesthetics. But, I wouldn't say that deters me from recommending or going back again. This time I'll do it in the warmer months to take advantage of the patio!
Wife& & I work a monthly luncheon intoour budget (at the Amuse) It is a treat because of the attractive & attentive wait staff. Mywife does nor order crab cakes any where else.
Service was outstanding...................Our server, Tyler Harvey, was attentive and responsive to our needs. He was "Johnny on the spot". In addition we were provided space for a wheelchair. Many thanks.
I enjoyed lunch with a friend...undecided about which seafood option to select. The crab cake sandwich on fried green tomatoes, topped with arugula and a dollop of pimento spread was delicious. With so many dessert choices, the seasonal gingerbread with pistachio brittle was perfect. i am already planning a return trip soon!
As usual, Amuse did not disappoint. The food is fresh and well prepared but a bit trendy. Service was pleasant but the noise level can sometimes get too loud, making conversation difficult.
Overall the dining experience was quite good, but choice of entrees was not particularly impressive. I had the noodle dish which was nice, but not what I expected from all the rave reviews I have heard about Amuse. I will definitely return, and hopefully find that special dish I am in search of. The only negative I have were the chairs were uncomfortable to me. I had to sit forward quite a bit to be comfortable. They are not suitable for short people.
Amuse is one of our favorite luncheon spots...it is always outstanding.
Had an outstanding lunch. Parsnip bisque, salad, crab cakes, monkfish all superb. Ben and the other wait staff did a great job.
Laura, our server, remembered us and my preference for cranberry juice....all that after having dined there four weeks prior. She is a superb waitress.
Amuse is a favorite place to enjoy a great meal in pleasant surroundings, with great service. The food is always prepared to perfection. The fact that is within a fantastic museum, with free admission, open every day of he year is a plus.
Love this restaurant. Eat there every time I go to Richmond. Tasty, innovative menu. Tough to choose between the craft beer and the unique cocktails. Terrific ambiance, too. The total picture!
always a nice way to start a museum exhibition outing.
We enjoy dining at Amuse - The food is consistently good. The portions are generous and the wait staff well trained in service. Sunday brunch - We were served really good banana walnut bread, The breads are a signature for Amuse. Corned Beef Hash served over a biscuit with Poached Eggs and Hollandaise was our entre'. One serving would have been enough to share. However, we stuffed ourselves. The atmosphere is one of fun and good times. This one is a winner all around. CLS
delicious oysters, crabcake w/ fried green tomatoes. had reservations and noted that we had one adult in a wheelchair--- they seated us at a table on the other side of the restaurant, having us navigate between tables where there wasn't much room, and having to ask a diner to get up and move their chair. i felt bad having to ask, but otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get to the table. next visit will be during the weekday when children are in school, as it was rather noisy. overall --pleasant . we will be back!
Brunch was tasty, particularly the PEI mussels. The quiche was creamy but could have been more flavorful. The server was very attentive and helpful. We had our child with us who is well behaved at restaurants. However there was a large party with a young child that was seated in the middle of the restaurant - they even asked to move to no avail. The child then proceeded to lie down on the floor and watch cartoons in the middle of the restaurant. Not acceptable anywhere, let alone a higher end establishment. No fault of the restaurant I suppose.
We were first timers at Amuse and we were very impressed overall: great service (timely and attentive but not intrusive), fun menu (some local options), and a wonderful ambience (modern touches with lots if natural light). The menu was somewhat too limited for us, with fewer vegetarian options than we prefer but we made it work. We were at the museum for a special exhibit and arrived at Amuse a little early for our reservation. We were the first to arrive for brunch. The host seated us anyway, letting us choose our table near the window in the back room. We didn't realize how full the restaurant was until we left so would highly recommend a reservation or calling in advance for availability. Certainly a Richmond brunch hotspot!
A real treat to start or culminate a visit to the museum.
Our table was ready on arrival, the server arrived promptly, took drink orders, checked back to let us know of a backup at the bar and our special cocktails would be ready soon; they worth waiting for! The wine arrived promptly. The lamb shank and mussels were both outstanding was was the chocolate pot de crem with coconut rich macaroon and the pumpkin cake, ice cream and matching brittle!
Amuse is everything you might expect from a restaurant inside a fine arts museum.... excellent food and service, nicely decorated and soft lighting. The view is across the back of the property and outdoor dining on the roomy deck is available in seasonable weather. Menu selections use local produce when possible and meals are mostly healthy. I would recommend this and certainly go there again. It is especially wonderful to pair with a visit to an exhibit in the museum.
Cocktails extraordinary and food fabulous. Touché.
The food was very tasty, but overpriced. Portion too smallholder
everything was very nice, always a pleasant experience
Another fantastic Sunday afternoon at Amuse--inventive cocktails, delicious food, friendly professional service, and a fantastic view of the VMFA's sculpture garden---add up to Richmond's best brunch! The curried fried Rappahannock Oysters served with raita appetizer is one of my favorite dishes anywhere. Hope it never leaves the menu--even in the non "R" months!
We came down from Washington to see the Hollywood Costume exhibit, and had res. for 12:30 at Amuse. We arrived early and it was not at problem to be seated at noon. Two of us (my sister and I) have been there before and liked it, so we returned. Our friend enjoyed it also. I had the Mahi Mahi Taco and it was fine (an 8). My sister really liked the crab cake ( a 10), but our friend had the pot roast, and it was not so good (a 5). She said the vegetables were practically raw. But she didn't complain. She said, "Those things happen." I think we all agreed $10 for a glass of wine was too much for lunch time. It's very convenient to have a nice restaurant in the museum. (The little cafe is nice, too.)
had lunch while waiting for the Holllywood Costume Exhibit - as usual the service was wonderful and the meal delicious
I'd come to Amuse more often if I could. Marvelous gem. Fantastic, gourmet food. Bowls, silverware, table settings-perfect. Service-exemplary, just right. Food-from appetizer salad which we split, to main courses, to dessert. We were totally wowed. We almost giggled. The young man from my university in Boston whom I hosted said it was the best meal he'd ever had. He said the white bean puree under his mahi-mahi was amazing. You get the idea. Find a special occasion, make reservations, and just GO.
The ambiance at Amuse cannot be beat in Richmond. It is so unique. Wonderful setting for a lunch table of four women after viewing Hollywood Costume. Love those chartreuse chairs.
This was the perfect place to dine for our museum event... lovely atmosphere, friendly wait staff and delicious meal. We loved the fact that the drink menu was tied to the museum event and a prix fix menu was available... the meal was delicious...
Always a fabulous experience- the food is delicious and every dish has a wonderful flavor and presentation. The wait staff is delightful, helpful and efficient. Thank you as always for a wonderful lunch!
A leisurely Saturday visit to the Hollywood Costume exhibit followed by a relaxing treat to lunch at the Amuse Restaurant was ticket for us. Service and food were both excellent.
The food here is always excellent, fresh, presented nicely, flavorful. Our server was a bit slow but otherwise very pleasant. The portion sizes here, unlike most restaurants, appropriate. Most places just put too much food on the place...Amuse, at least for me, has always been just right. I can usually finish my food but am not left wishing I had more. Manakintowne greens are my very favorite salad choice (I buy them for home, too) so good choice there, too!
Tucked away on the third floor of Richmond's world class art museum is a gem of a restaurant. Quiet with beautiful views, the food is artful presentations of familiar dishes. Subtle seasoning and top tier ingredients elevate a simple pot roast to an elegant experience.
We had Thanksgiving Dinner at Amuse. Delicious, non-traditional menu: no turkey, no ham, no buffet. Also no kids. It was a great evening for adults who didn't want family holiday hoopla. Cornish hen and pork loin entrees were perfect and filling. This is a classy joint. You can bring out-of-town visitors here and they'll think Richmond really has it going on. After eating, you can walk through the Museum and appreciate the art. Talk about dinner and a show!
Food was great and service excellent. Busy but service was still excellent.
The food was outstanding and included foods you would not have at home. The waiter was extremely gracious and put everyone in the holiday spirit. The wondetful meal plus a visit to the special art exhibit made for a great holiday!
Our Thanksgiving lunches are always on Sat. So we are always looking for something special on Thursday. We were lucky to get a table at Amuse. The food was awesome, the service was great and a short spin around VMFA was a perfect after lunch walk. The VMFA and Amuse are truly a spectacular Richmond experience.
Amuse offered a prix-fixe Thanksgiving menu that was just wonderful. Every dish was superb. Our reservation coincided with the sunset, which was spectacular from Amuse's view on the third floor of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, overlooking the sculpture garden. From the beautiful setting, to the delicious meal, to the terrific service, it was a perfect Thanksgiving dinner.
Four of us(all very close friends)enjoyed a delicious, lovely, "civilized" Thanksgiving respite! We had a lovely table in the main dining room, attentive service and a very relaxed atmosphere. In this day of "casualness" it is refreshing to see coats, ties and elegance. Three options for appetizer, entree and dessert all tasty and beautifully presented. We enjoy Amuse for special occasions and just "happy" times. No rushing!
Can't say enough good things about Amuse. Delicious food, marvelous setting.
The food is always wonderful and different from the more standard fare found in many other restaurants.
Although not as warm and inviting as the Va Museum's former member dining room, AMUSE is lovely and very comfortable. Our food there is always great and it is beautifully presented. What could be nicer than dining in an Art Museum, surrounded by art galleries? We love just being there.
Amuse always has new creations to try. Great service combined with a lovely atmosphere. And the food is delicious! Perfect place to have brunch!
This is possibly the best restaurant in the state of Virginia right now. I've eaten here five times and will come back as often as I can get down from D.C. One of the best wine list around at very reasonable prices and the food is outstanding.
The view, and food was excellent.. Very good selections with gluten free options.
A delightful restaurant with delicious food. Highly recommend going here!
Great place to impress your friends. Place needs a little music, though.
Always great. Awesome presentation of food, befitting a world-class museum.
Thoroughly enjoyed the dinner with friends. Get ambience. Very elegant and still welcoming.
We enjoyed a three-course prix fixe menu at a very special discounted price when we showed our tickets to see "Cleopatra" as part of the 60 Movies in 60 Days program. It was cold and rainy that day so we started with the stew, which was excellent. One of us had the crabcake sandwiched between two fried green tomato slices - an inspirted idea - and the other had the goat cheese mushroom quiche. Both were wonderful. We ended with the creamiest creme caramel I've ever enjoyed. The meal combined ambience, fine food, a great cup of tea and the anticipation of seeing a classic movie on the fairly big screen. It was a perfect combination.

On an immense rock overlooking the Firth of Lorn near Oban stands the remains of one of the oldest stone castles in Scotland and the former stronghold of the MacDougalls. Built around 1220 by Duncan MacDougall, the son of Earl Somerled, known also as the 'King of the Isles', Dunstaffnage Castle was built at the height of the battle between Scotland and Norway for control of the Hebrides and was even once besieged by Robert the Bruce during the Wars of Independence. Its formidable stone curtain still has the power to inspire awe in visitors while Dunstaffnage Chapel, concealed amongst the trees, offers a stunning example of 13th century architecture. Inside the courtyard visitors will find the remains of the great hall and the 'new house.' These 18th century residential compartments are believed to be where Flora MacDonald is believed to have been held prisoner have helping Bonnie Prince Charlie evade capture by the Redcoats following his disastrous defeat at Culloden in 1746.

Thinking Globally, Acting Locally
Worldwide start-up cup gets launched
There are a lot of wild, unpredictable forces at play on our planet just now. On the one hand, trade and globalization are very much with us and have the same enabling and disruptive impacts on U.S. employment and our economic future as they've had over the course of the last half of the 20th century and the whole of our new century.
At the same time, there are powerful countervailing trends afoot, including a movement toward making more things in the United States -- things that we have produced lately using foreign workers, big international production companies, and -- sometimes -- black box operations.
The New Cup
Tulsa Global Alliance courtesy of tulsa global alliance |
A little over seven years ago, Sean Griffin and Kristen Bergman, two former California citizens/geek entrepreneurs came to Tulsa. Early on they did a variety of productive things -- including hooking up with then-Mayor Kathy Taylor. What came from this collaboration, the efforts of a range of folks at Spirit Bank -- including Royce Kelly and dozens of other committed Tulsans -- was our Tulsey event, the Spirit Bank entrepreneurial/start-up competition and a shiny raft of other early-stage company development and start-up support services that are now the envy of similar-sized cities in the region.
Now Griffin and Bergman have crafted a partnership with Mayor Dewey Bartlett, the City of Tulsa, the Economic Development Commission, and the State Department to "go global" using the spine of Tulsa's new wave entrepreneurial development machine: a gizmo Griffin and Bergman have put together piece by piece, building on their success with a gamut of local company entrepreneurial development efforts.
More specifically, they, together with help from Tulsa's Global Alliance -- a long standing operation that manages our sister city initiative -- have crafted a sprawling "economics" project that will build on entrepreneurial energy, start up enthusiasts and investors in Tulsa's eight sister cities, and match them with potential peer companies, markets, and other players in Tulsa. Some readers may know that our sister cities effort is one of the best in America. The "sisters" were established many years ago, and until recently focused more on cultural and social exchanges than economic matters.
Things in Play
"For most of the past 20 years trade has raced ahead of global economic growth, usually at about double its pace. GDP grew by 3.5 percent in 2006, the last healthy, pre-crisis year, and trade at 8 percent. This was, it seemed, a golden ratchet binding the planet ever closer. But the most recent 24 months show something that looks an awful lot like a trade shock. It isn't just that trade is no longer doubling -- it's slowing. In some crucial areas trade growth has slipped below GDP growth and this year, globally we'll be below the 20-year average rate of trade growth yet again. Figures on investment in assets held overseas, probably the best indicator of enthusiasm for globalism, are drifting down toward 40 percent, from more than 50 percent in 2008. The move is serious enough that economists have begun to ask: Is globalization running backward?"
The quote is from a recent Fortune piece by Joshua Ramos, who was also, famously, a senior manager at Henry Kissinger's international consulting firm. Ramos is a China "hand" -- that is, an expert on all things Chinese -- so his perspective on the nature of the international economic world news, is very deep and is very grounded.
But his observations don't mean that international trade is an engine that Tulsa can't use to produce additional jobs and start-up companies locally; his outlook simply means that we have to be very thoughtful, imaginative, and tightly tethered to Tulsa's competitive strengths and our fab, risk-happy business culture to play successfully in this new world.
In his State of the Union address some days ago, President Obama again called attention to a nascent -- but promising -- manufacturing "re-spark" effort: a gambit that his Commerce Department and other federal agencies are about to launch. This new push and the small but critical private market response are surely a seismic event for U.S. economic futures and a change that could have profound impacts on U.S. employment and our volatile manufacturing job sector.
This is a grand and powerful opportunity for Tulsa. As I tried to illuminate in earlier pieces, we are well positioned in Green Country to parlay, with our savvy oil patch production and industrial fabrication culture, OSU's downtown (taxpayer supported) Helmrich Advanced Manufacturing research facility, and our small but increasingly renowned Fab Lab facility on South Lewis Avenue.
Already, we've witnessed a tiny but important reprise of the production of "things" in the United States. Giant enterprises like General Electric and Apple -- and smaller but strategic ones like Tesla -- are reanimating domestic production lines and re-domesticating the increasingly tightly tethered product design and early stage manufacturing processes at the core of front rank firms.
One of the ways to continue to do business with international partners and players is to use the magic of re-shoring and all of the new technologies associated with it, together with the Internet to produce items remotely. Griffin's and Bergman's deep experience with Internet technologies, the web, visualization and the entrepreneurial process gives one lot of confidence that Tulsa's global Start-Up Cup project will be tightly connected to these explosive prospects.
Excitingly, the our new global startup cup project offers a novel portal -- an opportunity to manufacture on our shores, in fact in our town, on Green Country factory floors, prototype products that are being hatched in Israel, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, and Tulsa's other sister cities.
One More Thing
The Global Start-Up Cup project is a very good thing -- and it deserves the support of Tulsans across the board. But it also deserves public dollars and some of our philanthropic resources. I really get sick of this business of how something may be "good" -- but heavens to Betsy, we can't even think about spending local dollars on anything but the usual, often tired ole stuff. This is nonsense and we need to rethink this whole retrograde attitude -- it's stupid.

-- -- On Friday the FBI field at more than 150.
Thousand requests for background checks on prospective gun bias that is a new radical by a long way it's actually up 20% of the previous recollect.
Also -- on Black Friday last year.
We've been following the gun sales story for a while here Ron Vaughn and company and this is further proof that the business is absolutely.
And Arizona gun store Iona.
He's -- people who supported President Obama for walking into a stall -- took out an ad in the local newspaper I'm quoting directly from it.
If you voted for Barack Obama you'll business it's not welcome.
Now he says is booming business is absolutely -- Joining us is the owner of -- dog his name is Coke Reynolds.
-- -- welcome to the program right from the get ago.
Have you -- under way from you'll stores said no you cannot comment have you done that.
No sir where we live there's there's not a huge percentage of Obama supporters -- -- we haven't actually turned anybody away yet but we would.
Since all OK so if I walked into your stole wearing a vote for Obama T showed -- -- -- Would you denying -- entrance to the storm.
Well I'd have to have to find out first if there was.
Day because we've got a lot of people that are that are trying to do.
-- pull the wool over our eyes -- -- Visa would be the way to put it bit.
If I find if I determined in fact that you did and you willing to admit to get through it okay.
Separate attack -- -- that kind of political.
It wasn't on the that it was an advertisement wasn't that that's what it was you want to do we know chuck rich people -- come on in the stall.
No answer that didn't have anything to do with it when I put it up there it was the way we felt.
And whether it was good or bad for the business was not a -- not relevant they didn't make any difference it was strictly.
You get the point across it was a really a political.
Statement -- and that's all the was to be any other consequences though -- that were purely unintentional effect how much did you business go off.
I don't know how to figure percentage wise but it was so there was this considerable increase.
What we just reported that on Black Friday the FBI fielded a 154000.
Requests for background checks.
Which implies the purchase of a vast number of guns and 62% of those requests were -- for long guns you know rifles shotguns -- them about -- -- That would imply.
That the buyer is -- that may be President Obama was gonna ban assault weapons lots some a form -- long gone next year.
Who is that was going on.
-- -- during the second debate he said the fact that that's what -- -- tended to do in.
We a lot of people ask us well they say will -- Obama hasn't done anything against in fact he has increased our our.
Gun rights by.
Guns into national parks -- the monuments in February 22 2009.
And he did in fact do that but that doesn't mean that he's pro gun -- means that there was something attached to a bill that he absolutely had to have.
And it it worked out well -- I think he's a genius I think it they've been very disciplined very patient.
And he's waited until his second term.
And -- I was very much believe that he's going to implement.
More than just an assault weapons ban.
And all I have to say to these people is is latency.
If he doesn't he doesn't if he doesn't and I'll apologize for the whole world for everything that I ever present.
But I don't think that's going to be case.
-- Reynolds thank you very much indeed for joining us human pine top Arizona is that correct sir on top yes there -- -- there.
Well thanks -- -- -- -- -- -- you drove about four hours to get the studio today that we appreciate that thanks so much too big a -- much.

Last week when Tim Tebow was introduced as a NY Jet he used the word excited 44 times to express his feelings on being traded to his new team. The media had a lot of fun with it for the past week and there are even several audio and youtube mashups of the 44 times of saying the word excited.
- So how excited are you to be in ministry?
- And if so… do you show it?
- Does your congregation see it in you when you see them on Sunday Mornings?
- Do they see it when they stop by the church office during the week?
- Do they see it in your blog posts, your tweets, your FB status updates?
- Or do they see you not excited and just trying to earn a paycheck or have just enough students so you don't get fired?
- Or do they see you trying to hard and you are scaring or pushing students away with a holier than thou image? Can they see right through your status updates?
- Are you truly excited to be in ministry or are you just putting on a show to earn a paycheck?
Just some food for thought…

Qualified personal residence trust (QPRT)
An irrevocable trust in which the trust res/corpus is the grantor's personal residence, and the grantor retains the right to live in that residence.
Illustrative caselaw
See, e.g In re Earle, 307 B.R. 276 (Bankr. S.D. Ala. 2002).
See also
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A trust designed to save on estate tax by moving a residence (or vacation home, if certain conditions in the tax code are met) out of the owners taxable estate. The owner transfers ownership of the property to the trust but keeps the right to live there for a number of years. QPRTs are most popular when real estate values are going up rapidly.

The Timberline Chicororua boots are sturdy, comfortable and waterproof. I had owned a pair of the slightly less expense Timberland White Ledge boots for over 4 years which have identical bottom and I loved them. For my replacement boots I decided to move up to the next model in the line, the Chicorua, because of the slightly taller support around the ankle and the Gore-Tex membrane which makes them more breathable. My first test was a 4 mile mountain hike over rocky terrain and they felt great without any previous break-in period. Also, the price at Sunny Sports [...] was just unbeatable.Tip 1: As soon as you get these boots rub the leather with some mink oil and repeat a few times year. This will keep them waterproof and insure the leather doesn't dry or crack and will extend their useful life. I did this with my last pair of Timberlines and the leather still looks great after over 4 yearsTip 2: For serious hikes do not use cheap cotton socks. Instead either use wool socks in winter or Hiking Socks. Hiking socks, like Thorlo are expensive but well worth it because they not only wick away moisture, which cotton does not, but also and provides much better cushioning to reduce shear and impact forces so your feet feel great and minimizes the potential for blisters. The weak link of a good boot is the socks - it took me years to realize this.

By Matt of the Great Northwest
from Spokane, WA
The Timberland Chocorua Trail Mid Hiking Shoes are aptly labled, as they look like a boot, but feel more like a comfortable, somewhat snug athletic shoe. Most mid-high boots I've owned ride about an inch high from the heal up. These, however, have a bit of an unseen recess in the heal and sole so your foot rides at a more natural, comfortable level, adding to comfort and stability no matter what terrain you're walking on. So far I've had minimal break-in time in these boots and thus far I've had zero uncomfortable ware on my feet or ankels... though just to be safe I'd suggest wareing your boots in a bit before venturing off into the wilds in them.

Nobel prize goes to cell researchers
Three Researchers from US schools win the Nobel Prize in Medicine. James Rothman and Randy Schekman share the award with Thomas Suedhof.
PT0M59S http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2v4u7 620 349 October 8, 2013- Autoplay OnOff

US duo James Rothman and Randy Schekman and German-born Thomas Suedhof won the Nobel prize in medicine on Monday for their groundbreaking work on how the cell organises its transport system, the jury said.
The trio, who all work at US universities, were honoured for "their discoveries of machinery regulating vesicle traffic, a major transport system in our cells," it said.
Their discoveries have had a major impact on understanding how cargo is delivered within and outside the cell and have implications for work on several diseases including neurological and immunological disorders, as well as diabetes, the Nobel committee said.

Each cell is a factory that produces and exports molecules.
"For instance, insulin is manufactured and released into the blood and chemical signals called neurotransmitters are sent from one nerve cell to another. These molecules are transported around the cell in small packages called vesicles," it explained.
The three Nobel laureates "have discovered the molecular principles that govern how this cargo is delivered to the right place at the right time in the cell," it said.
The winners will share equally the prize sum of 8 million Swedish kronor ($1.25 million), reduced because of the economic crisis last year from the 10 million kronor awarded since 2001.
Last year, the honour went to Shinya Yamanaka of Japan and John Gurdon of Britain for their work on cell programming, a frontier that has raised dreams of replacement tissue for people crippled by disease.
In line with tradition, the laureates will receive their prize at a formal ceremony in Stockholm on December 10, the anniversary of prize founder Alfred Nobel's death in 1896.
