"Art historian Vicky Bliss may be blond and beautiful, but looks can be deceiving. She also has the brain of an Einstein, the reckless courage of a test pilot--and no one's more savvy about fine works of art. For example: the gold pendant her boss at Munich's National Museum is currently dangling in front of her. It's an exquisite replica of a Charlemagne talisman--and it was found, along with a note written in hieroglyphs, sewn into the suit pocket of an unidentified man lying dead in an alley.
"There's a murderous puzzle to unravel-and Vicky will start by hunting down the master craftsperson who created the magnificent piece, even if the search carries her to the ends of the Earth. Instead, it's pointing her toward Rome, the most romantic city in the world. But it's also pulling her into a treacherous game of intrigue where the stakes could not be higher: Vicky's life!"
During her years spent in New York City. Faith Fairchild was convinced she had seen pretty much everything. But the transplanted caterer/minister's wife was unprepared for the surprises awaiting her in the sleepy Massachusetts village of Aleford. And she is especially taken aback by the dead body of a pretty young thing she discovers stashed in the church's belfry. The victim, Cindy Shepherd. was well-known locally for her acid tongue and her jilted beaux, which created a lot of bad blood and more than a few possible perpetrators -- including her luckless fiance, who had neither an alibi nor a better way to break off the engagement.
Faith thinks it's terribly unfair that the police have zeroed in on the hapless boyfriend, and so she sets out to uncover the truth. But digging too deeply into the sordid secrets of a small New England village tends to make the natives nervous. And an overly curious big city lady can become just another small town death statistic in very short order.
The first appearance in hardcover of the first installment of the author's ever-popular series features the unusual detective team of award-winning reporter Jim Qwilleran and Koko, his brilliant Siamese cat, who penetrate the world of modern art to solve a mystery.
Five girls are brutally murdered on the streets of London. All clues point to the Ellison household where the charming Misses Charlotte and Emily reside. Can Inspector Thomas Pitt discover the truth behind the elegant façade of exquisite manners and societal mores without losing his heart? First of the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series.
"The Dragonbone Chair is the story of Simon, a young kitchen boy and magician's
apprentice whose dreams of great deeds and heroic wars come all too shockingly
true when his world is torn apart by a terrifying civil war--a war fueled by ancient
hatreds, immortal enemies, and the dark powers of sorcery."
Book one of the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series. Sequels are Stone of Farewell and To the Green Angel Tower.
In spite of his initial uneasiness, infiltration proves to be an easy matter. But will the ultimate betrayal be so simple? With the influences of good and evil, faith and doubt, compassion and selfishness pulling him apart, to whom could he turn?

A deadly game of hide-and-seek played out in 18 days over 4000 miles of ocean. Red October is the Soviet Navy's newest ballistic missile submarine. When the whole crew decides to defect, the Soviet fleet sets out to destroy it, while the US and British fleets attempt to prevent them.
Art restorer--and former Israeli intelligence operative--Gabriel Allon is drawn back into the game to take on a cunning terrorist on one last killing spree, a Palestinian zealot who played a dark part in Gabriel's past. And what begins as a manhunt turns into a globe-spanning duel fueled by both political intrigue and deep personal passions...
This first novel in Alexander McCall Smith's widely acclaimed The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series tells the story of the delightfully cunning and enormously engaging Precious Ramotswe, who is drawn to her profession to help people with problems in their lives. Immediately upon setting up shop in a small storefront in Gaborone, she is hired to track down a missing husband, uncover a con man, and follow a wayward daughter. But the case that tugs at her heart, and lands her in danger, is a missing eleven-year-old boy, who may have been snatched by witchdoctors.

Mantovani believes in Bologna prospects
Defender Andrea Mantovani believes Bologna have what it takes to make an impression in Serie A this season despite a poor start.
The 29-year-old left-back managed only six games as Palermo were relegated in the 2012-13 campaign but, after making a full recovery from ligament damage, he has moved to the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara to bolster coach Stefano Pioli's defensive options.
The Rossoblu coach's decision to sign a new defender comes as no surprise after Bologna were beaten 3-0 at Napoli on the first weekend - the largest margin of defeat across 10 opening games.
But Mantovani feels he can help shore up the back four, should he contribute in Sunday's visit of Sampdoria.
He told Bologna's official website: "I know Pioli is a great coach and a good person, I definitely know what to expect from the team and what will be asked of me.
"I can play in various roles in different positions and I hope to be useful to Bologna.
"It was always my intention to get straight back into Serie A and as soon as the call came from this big club I accepted immediately.
"There are all the ingredients here for us to do well and it will be a very exciting challenge for me."
Archimede Morleo, Niccolo Cherubin and Fredrik Sorensen are unavailable through injury but Pioli received a further boost this week after playmaker Alessandro Diamanti extended his contract until 2018.
Sampdoria boss Delio Rossi, while being reasonably satisfied with the team after watching a narrow 1-0 loss to Juventus on the opening day, has asked his forward line to step up.
"I don't think strikers should be judged by how many goals they score but by how they cope in certain situations," he said.
"I think our strikers will surely do well in pursuit of our objectives."
Midfielder Pedro Obiang is injured and defender Paolo Castellini is suspended in Bologna, where Samp have failed to win since November 2003, having played out three consecutive 1-1 draws in recent seasons.

The Robertson family already has two Division-I lacrosse players in it, with the oldest, Matt, being a goalie and Virginia and younger brother Ian playing on attack at Maryland. In a few years, there will be two more Robertsons carrying on the family tradition.
St. Anne's-Belfield sophomore attacker Phillip Robertson is verbally committed to North Carolina, while freshman attacker Joe, the youngest of the family, is verbally committed to Johns Hopkins.
"We looked at a bunch of different schools. We looked at a couple together," Joe said. "Ultimately, I think we kind of both want to do different things in college. I think Johns Hopkins academically fit me better, and UNC for Phillip definitely is a perfect school for him."
Thanks to their older brothers, lacrosse was a way of life for the two younger Robertsons while growing up in Salem, Va.
"I think I first started organized games when I was in kindergarten, I think like 5 years old," says Phillip. "We didn't really have teams then, so I was playing with my older brothers and one was in fifth grade, so I was the little kid out there just running around."
Out of the four boys, the three youngest all play on attack while the oldest is a goalie.
"I mean it's tough to get it in the cage on him, but he's a good goalie," Joe says of the family's practice sessions with Matt in the cage. "Ian will teach us moves, Matt will show us drills that UVa does. We'll all be out there shooting together, and it really improves our game."
Having two Division-I lacrosse players as older brothers has helped Joe and Phillip sharpen their skills at a young age, and it's also motivated them to replicate that success.
"There's always competitions with four boys in the house," says Phillip. "I try and outdo them a little bit, which is really hard though, with some of the accomplishments they've made."
"You're always on the move trying to watch the next game," Joe says of the family's hectic schedule. "Whether it's trying to watch one of [Phillip's] club games or going to see the two other ones in college. Little bit of stress being the youngest one when they're making their decisions everywhere, so I'm just glad I got everything done."
With Joe's verbal commitment to Johns Hopkins and Phillip's verbal to UNC all wrapped up, the two are focused on having strong careers at STAB. They're also looking forward to facing off against each other for the first time ever in different uniforms a few years down the road.
"We've always been on the same team and it's always kind of been like brother-to-brother just kind of playing with each other," Phillip said. "It'll be interesting when we go up to college, being able to play against each other."
Though the four boys won't all be in college at the same time, they will have all played at four of the top lacrosse schools in the country. As the two youngest Robertsons enjoy their high school careers and get ready for college, they're proud to be carrying on the family tradition.
"Just growing up somewhere where lacrosse is not a big sport at all, you have to work for everything you get," said Joe. "You take pride in what you can get, but also stay humble with it."
"There's definitely a lot of pride," added Phillip. "A little bit of pressure too, like a lot of pressure, because you know we want to try and do our best. We do it for ourselves, but also for other people who have really motivated us."

Nation Topics - Nuclear Arms and Proliferation
News and Features
The US's nuclear arsenal has no necessary military mission anymore. But their existence continues to provoke the proliferation of weapons programs abroad.
The problem with mankind wielding nuclear power isn't about backup generators or safety rules—it's our essential human fallibility.
A computer virus foiling Iran's nuclear plans should delight those spoiling for an attack. Does it?
What will the consequences be if the Senate doesn't pass the START treaty today?
Powerful politicians and think tankers are using the nuclear issue to foment hysteria.
Neither aggressive diplomacy nor coercive diplomacy will work. How can Obama work his way out of this dead end?
In April, President Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed the New START Treaty, the biggest nuclear arms pact in a generation. But the treaty faces significant Republican opposition as it enters the Senate for a final vote. How would a blocked treaty affect our arms policy and our relationship with Russia?
The nuclear abolition documentary Countdown to Zero is not just a howl of alarm or a historical primer. It's a shocking but completely reliable account of the issue of nuclear weapons as it exists today.
To discuss the threat of nuclear war, Jonathan Schell, Nation Institute fellow and author of "Reaching Zero," guests on the Brian Lehrer Show with David Hoffman, Foreign Policy contributing editor.

White Sox GM Ken Williams stands by Ozzie Guillen, coaches
By Daryl Van Schouwen firstname.lastname@example.com April 25, 2011 10:42PM
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
NEW YORK — As if things aren't bad enough for Ken Williams, a 21/2-hour delay at O'Hare subjected the general manager to some quality time with a bunch of fans who are up in arms over the team's 9-14 start.
"I almost didn't make it'' to New York, Williams said.
Suggestions came in droves, but one that fell on deaf ears was to fire a coach, or the manager. While answering questions about his struggling team, a generally upbeat Williams stood by hitting coach Greg Walker, manager Ozzie Guillen and the other coaches.
"The coaching staff is not throwing the baseball and not hitting the baseball,'' Williams said when he arrived in New York to "give some hugs" to his team that opened a four-game series at Yankee Stadium. "They're doing what they've always done.
"The first 10 games of the season people talked about how well our offense was performing. We were hitting off the charts. When it turned around, we have to stand up and take the heat.''
Walker "is used to taking the heat, and he's been consistent over the years the way teams have rebounded offensively,'' Williams said.
"In professional sports, fingers will be pointed your way. None of them has gotten any dumber the last couple of weeks. They're the same guys, and I have a lot of confidence in all of them.''
Guillen, never short on emotion, heightened his passion when the subject of his coaches came up.
"If somebody has to get fired here, it has to be Ozzie Guillen,'' he said. ''It doesn't have to be Greg Walker. It doesn't have to be [pitching coach] Don Cooper. It has to be Ozzie Guillen because I'm the one who makes the lineups, I'm the one who tries to get the best from my players and I don't know how to do that right now.''
Ownership invested $125 million in payroll in this team, marketed it with an "All in" campaign, then watched it play poorly or inconsistently in all phases of the game. Three weeks into the season, fans not distracted by the success of the Bulls and (of late) the Blackhawks have had enough.
"Chicago White Sox fans, you have to earn their patronage,'' Williams said. "And we haven't earned it, so I don't expect people to show up in droves until we earn it. This is the third week in April, there are a lot of games left, and we will earn their respect and their patronage. Until then, I wouldn't expect it.''
Williams said he is confident the team will play better. The Sox have been giving credit to the string of good pitching performances they have been up against, and Williams echoed that.
But only to a degree. The criticism is warranted.
"It's not easy,'' Williams said. "It's been a collective effort from the GM, the manager, the coaches. I think the grounds crew had a bad day last week in Chicago. Right now we're not looking too good.
"Call me crazy, but I happen to think we have a pretty good team out there. You just wait for the day for it to all click. The good thing about baseball is we play 162 games. I'm not going to draw conclusions about this start and say we're not what we think we are.
"I have no choice but to look at this as a [9-14] team because that's what we are. And we've earned every bit of it. We haven't hit, pitched consistently and have not caught the ball. We've played as poorly as we possibly could.
"If I knew [how to fix it], it would be fixed by now. All I can do is go to the clubhouse and offer some hugs, support them that way. The good thing is we have talent.
''We've been down this road where we're not playing well and didn't have the talent. This is a different scenario with guys who've proven themselves in the major leagues and on championship clubs. We've got to weather this storm and come out of it sooner rather than later.''
Reminded that the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays turned it around after horrible starts, Williams said he should have called them for advice:
"They would have advised me not to walk in an airport.''
And how did Williams respond to those fans at O'Hare? "I gave them Ozzie's number and said, 'Call him,' '' he said with a laugh.

Massage Services
Acupressure Massage
Acupressure massage is a very beneficial and effective treatment for many health problems. It is beneficial for nervous tension, headaches, sinus problems, colds and flu, sprains, arthritis, tennis elbow, menstrual cramps, allergies, asthma, toothaches, general aches and pains etc.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is the most popular type of massage in the United States. It involves the use of hands, forearms or elbows to manipulate the superficial layers of the muscles to improve mental and physical health. Active or passive movement of the joints may also be part of the massage. The benefits of Swedish massage include increased blood circulation, mental and physical relaxation, decreased stress and muscle tension, and improved range of motion.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage works through the superficial layers, affecting the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It helps loosen the muscles and promotes healthy circulation. It can release that tension, allowing free movement and a level of stress relief not found in a typical massage.
Reflexology is a therapeutic method of relieving pain by stimulating predefined pressure points on the feet and hands. This controlled pressure alleviates the source of the discomfort. In the absence of any particular malady or abnormality, reflexology may be as effective for promoting good health and for preventing illness as it may be for relieving symptoms of stress, injury, and illness.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic massage or lymph drainage massage is a technique used to help increase lymph flow.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release does not only work on the painful areas, but addresses the areas of dysfunction throughout the body. Myofascial Release allows the body to heal by allowing the blood, lymph, and nerve receptors to work more effectively and by the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain killers. It will also increase the blood flow which allow the nutrients to get to your tissues and metabolic wastes to be taken away.
Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu massage, also known as acupressure, is a point-pressure massage using the fingers. It is designed to help regulate the flow of energy within the body. This type of massage helps produce a deep relaxation increases energy levels and brings balance to the body.
Thai Massage
Thai massage is a type of Oriental bodywork therapy that is based on the treatment of the human body, mind, and spirit. The therapy includes treating the electromagnetic or energetic field which surrounds, infuses and brings the body to life through pressure and/or manipulative massage.
Trigger Points Massage
Trigger point massage helps remove the toxins accumulated around nerve bundles in your muscles. If these toxins are allowed to accumulate enough, they can form a palpable nodule in the muscle, which puts pressure on the nerve bundle and causes pain. Trigger point therapy uses pressure on these nodules to relieve pain in the muscles, joints and throughout the body.
Deep Heat Muscle Therapy
Deep Heat Muscle Therapy is an ideal for anyone who suffers from chronic pain or limited mobility due to athletic training, repetitive movements. It can also helps loosens the stiff muscles due to overuse.
Pregnancy or Pre-Natal Massage
Pregnancy massage may reduce stress, decrease swelling in arms and legs and relieve aches and pains in muscles and joints. It may also promotes relaxation, soothes nerves, and relieve strained back and legs for expectant or mother-to-be clients. It will also helps expectant mothers keep good posture and provides flexibility to birthing muscles.
"The power of love to change bodies is legendary, built into folklore, common sense, and everyday experience. Love moves the flesh, it pushes matter around.... Throughout history,"tender loving care"has uniformly been recognized as a valuable element in healing." -Larry Dossey

Red Wings' Jordin Tootoo cleared to play
Updated On: Oct 09 2013 05:00:23 PM EDT
Detroit Red Wings right winger Jordin Tootoo has been medically cleared to play.
Tootoo, who was signed as a free agent by Detroit in the 2012 offseason, has been out of the lineup with a shoulder injury, forcing him to miss the team's first three games of the season.
The gritty forward appeared in 42 regular season games with the Red Wings last season, during which he scored 3 goals and 5 assists and earned 78 penalty minutes.
The former Nashville Predator showed Detroit fans he is not afraid to drop the gloves.
It's not clear when or if Tootoo could return to Detroit's lineup. He was a healthy scratch at times last season.
The Red Wings play Thursday night against the Phoenix Coyotes in Detroit.

Why Cindy Houck chose Manuel Antonio
The name 'Villa Cielito' means 'a little piece of heaven'. It is a breathtaking beautiful villa with ocean views from every room of the house.
What makes this villa unique
Villa Cielito is located inside of Tulemar Resort, a 33- acre gated community surrounded by Costa Rican rainforest and views of the Pacific Ocean. The attentive staff is on-hand to be at help at all times. Chris, your personal concierge, will do all he can before & during your stay to help you have the best vacation in Costa Rica possible.
Guestbook comments from the manager
We stayed in April at Tulemar with another couple and we had the privacy needed. The villas were beautiful and the staff went above and beyond. It may be a bit of steep terrain but Luis, our driver was there whenever we needed him and he was the best. He really help make the vacation, his humor and knowledge of the local scene was exceptional. The private beach was beautiful and our bartender, Juan, was great. We felt so well taken care of with Brian as our concierge, anything we needed was handled immediately. He was very helpful finding the right excursions for our group.
The pools were all very private and the best morning was watching the troop of monkeys above the pool crossing the trees. The tour of Manuel Antonio was informative and the beach inside the park should not be missed. I am not usually a fan of guided tours but it is a must in the park, you would miss so much if you were to wander on your own.
We opted to have a chef (Marlon?) at our villa and it was well worth it. The food was wonderful and it was enjoyable on our own balcony. There are so many restaurant close by and and there is a grocery store if you want to cook yourself.
We have stayed in many places in many countries and I can honestly say Tulemar is one of our favorites and we hope to make it back soon.

Research Project Summary Information
Providing ventilation air is an important component in maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. Nevertheless, ventilation is responsible for as much as 20% of the overall energy consumption in a multifamily building. This consumption results from the energy needed to condition the air and to distribute it throughout the building. One strategy for minimizing the energy consumption needed for conditioning air during the winter is to use a solar air preheater, such as Conserval Systems, Inc.'s Solarwall™. Other indoor air quality problems that are found in multifamily buildings include poor makeup air temperature control and poor control of ventilation fans. Still, there is little information describing how to respond effectively to these problems.
Map Error
The Contractor will: identify a potential demonstration site for the installation of the Solarwall™ system, perform a feasibility study to confirm the viability (e.g., economics, code compliance, etc.) of installing the system at the site, install and monitor a system in Batavia, NY for one year to establish the energy savings, long-term performance, and durability of the system, evaluate methods to control make-up air temperatures more effectively, and strategies for intermittent ventilation control, complete preliminary feasibility studies for a minimum of four other medium or high-rise multifamily buildings in New York State to evaluate their potential for using a Solarwall™ system and, develop a Design Guide for ventilating multifamily buildings that discusses code requirements, recommended ventilation strategies for problem areas, heating and cooling approaches for ventilation air, and appropriate ventilation control strategies.
The solar air preheater will reduce the energy expenses required to ventilate public housing. Tenants will benefit by having improved indoor air quality in their apartments. The demonstration will also promote a renewable technology that can be cost effective for many buildings in New York State.
Taitem installed a 1,079 square foot solar preheater on a 186-unit, 13-story, high-rise, multifamily building in Syracuse, NY. The performance of the solar preheater was monitoring for over a year. The solar preheater and controls worked as anticipated and delivered energy savings as predicted. An annual natural gas saving of $1,700 was achieved with the solar preheater. The estimated payback period for this project was 22 years, without any subsidies or tax credits included.
The following conclusions were drawn from work relating to ventilation controls in multifamily buildings: modulating gas-fired heaters appear to work more reliably in delivering makeup air than electrically-heated or hydronically-heated systems, modulating makeup air heaters in response to outdoor air temperature can be an effective energy conserving strategy, and carbon dioxide measurements taken in a building with combinations of makeup and exhaust ventilation (for the entire building) indicate that indoor air quality is best maintained with both systems on permanently.

|A Twist on West Side Story Benefits St. Jude's Children's Hospital
|Wednesday, 22 February 2012 14:17
When community service meets pure, fun-filled entertainment, the result is an event that is hard to miss. This is exactly what the Duchesne Center for Religion and Social Justice brings to the Manhattanville College Community In the Hood: A New Twist on West Side Story opening on March 5 in the Ex Theater, Founders Hall.
The play tells the tale of how two very different people meet and fall in love. Sebastian and Shakira come from two different groups: The Crew and The High Society. The Crew is a very lively group that always wants to have fun and act wild. The High Society is very proper and they always follow the rules. The play centers on a conflict between the two groups as well as the romance between the two leads.
All proceeds will be donated to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
Check out the Manhattanville Facebook page to see photos from rehearsals.
Craig Donnelly, Community Service Coordinator for the Duchesne Center, created this play because he loved West Side Story as a child but was bothered by how it ended.
"It's a twist on the classic," he said. "It's slightly different than West Side Story where the two groups can't get along and people die in the end. In this one people persevere and they move on."
Donnelly's positive spin on the tragedy is representative of St. Jude Children's Hospital's efforts in bringing about positive change in the lives of suffering children.
"I came up with this play as a fundraising initiative for the St. Jude's Children's Hospital," Donnelly said. "We have been affiliated with St. Jude's for seven years and I thought if we were going to do a play, this should be the cause that we go for because if it can help cure these kids of cancer, that's the way to go."
Donnelly has put together a vibrant cast who are very enthusiastic about performing, as well as being a part of a community service initiative.
"The show is unique from any other shows I've done in that it's improv; there are no scripts, and the actors come up with the dialogue on their own," said Layla Tavassoli, the female lead.
Freshman Antwan Harris, the male lead, said audience members should be prepared to be an active part of the performance.
"The play is entertaining and enjoyable, and highly interactive. We are allowed to pull audience members on stage and allow them to have fun as well," he said.
Performance will be held on March 5, 7 and 8 at 8:00 p.m. in the Ex Theater. Tickets are $5.00 can be purchased at the Duchesne Center.

Dr. Joel Thirer 1989-09
Induction Class of 2011
A native of the Bronx, Joel Thirer served as director of athletics at Binghamton from 1989-2009. During his 20-year tenure, the athletics department completed a dramatic transformation from a modest NCAA Division III program to an expansive and flourishing Division I program.
Thirer arrived on campus in 1989 with both a national reputation in teaching, research and administration and a passion for intercollegiate athletics. A noted sports psychologist who earned a Ph.D. from Florida State University, Thirer also administered the disciplines of health, physical education and recreation during his tenure and each enjoyed a substantial boost in breadth, funding and participation.
A strong advocate of athletics and its role within the university's mission, Thirer served as an ambassador through frequent speaking engagements with alumni and community service groups.
Thirer initiated unprecedented growth to the athletics program in the form of aggressive fund-raising, full-time coaches and staff, increased funding, facility upgrades and widespread athletics success. He played a pivotal role in the strategic planning for the construction of two marquis athletics facilities the Events Center and the Bearcat Sports Complex and also spearheaded substantial renovations to the West Gym.
His crowning achievement was administering the program's bold transition to NCAA Division I status and securing membership in the America East Conference in 2001. The move instantly lifted the status of athletics and the university in the eyes of students, community and alumni and gave BU fans near and far a strong sense of Bearcat pride.
During his tenure, BU teams won two America East Academic Cups, hosted multiple conference championships and produced eight NCAA individual champions, 92 All-Americans and 48 conference championship teams. In addition, 17 teams spanning eight different sports ranked among the top 10 in the nation under his direction.
In 2007, Thirer was recognized by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) as the Division I Athletics Director of the Year for the entire Northeast region. He was also recognized by his peers in the form of committee leadership within the State University of New York Athletic Conference and later the America East Conference.

I Was Born a Boy
Janet Mock has an enviable career, a supportive man, and a fabulous head of hair. But she's also got a remarkable secret that she's kept from almost everyone she knows. Now, she breaks her silence.
By Janet Mock as told to Kierna Mayo
Photo Credit: Perry Hagopian
The flight to Bangkok's Don Muang Airport felt far longer than I'd imagined. It was Christmas break during my freshman year at the University of Hawaii, and I was 18, anxious, and alone. After high school graduation, many of my classmates were throwing big graduation parties and buying new cars. Those kids went looking for good times and great memories, but I was desperately searching for one thing only: a chance to be in the right body for the first time in my entire life. I had traveled more than 6,000 miles to have gender reassignment surgery a sex change.
At the arrival gate, I was greeted by two smiling nurses who assured me that everything was going to be OK. But I already knew that. I was the one who had lived with the sheer torment of inhabiting a body that never matched who I was inside, the one devastated by the quirk of fate that had consigned me to a life of masked misery. By the time I set foot in Thailand, I knew there could be nothing worse than living another day with a penis dangling between my legs.
Counting backward as the anesthesia took hold, I surrendered to what I believed with certainty would be a better future. And then, just like that, I was awake again. The sound of Muslim prayers rang through the air, echoing in my brightly lit hospital room. Even though I'd spent the last three hours on the operating table I could already feel the first tinges of pain in my lower body I felt completely reborn. Though I had been born a boy to my native Hawaiian mother and African-American father, I would never be a man. It was the birth of my choosing this time. And now it was official: Charles had died so that Janet could live.
Once, when I was 5-years-old, a little girl who lived next door to my grandmother dared me to put on a muumuu and run across a nearby parking lot. So I did. I threw it on, hiked it up in one hand, and ran like hell. It felt amazing to be in a dress. But suddenly my grandmother appeared, a look of horror on her face. I knew immediately that I had crossed some kind of line. After yelling at me, she banished me to our patio, where I played quietly with my sumo action figures for a while. I loved them because they had long hair, and they were the only "dolls" OK for me, a boy, to play with.
It didn't take very long before the social cues got louder and clearer. My parents started scolding me over the way I walked and held my hands. I learned to hide aspects of my personality. Playing with girls was fine, for example, but playing with their Barbies was something I could do only behind closed doors. After my parents split, my mom said my younger brother and I needed a strong male role model and sent us to live with our dad in Oakland, California. Stern and critical, my father couldn't accept how feminine and dainty I was in comparison to my rough-and-tumble brother. "Get outside and play!" he would bark. One time, I pretended to be a girl named Keisha I wasn't dressed like a girl, but in my baggy jeans and colorful top and with my longish hair, I easily passed for one. A boy who didn't know me told my cousin Mechelle that he thought I was pretty. "Isn't she?" Mechelle said, playing along. She. It spoke to my soul.
It was my father who first dared to ask the question: You're not gay, are you? I was 8 and wasn't even sure what that meant, but I knew from his tone that it was unacceptable. "No!" I shouted defensively.
When I was 12, my brother and I moved back to Honolulu to live with our mother. Hawaii felt like another universe, and reflecting on it, I am struck by how much more open and accepting it was. The searing social issues there had more to do with locals versus "foreigners" (aka "haoles") than with kids like me. In fact, I even found other boys like me there, and I eagerly gravitated to them. Together we envied girls, their ability to express their femininity without shame; I admired the way their bodies bloomed and rounded out. Not mine. I was beginning to loathe my shapeless body, the straight lines and hard angles.
During recess one day, I met Wendi. A year older than me, she was part of a small, tight-knit group of transsexuals who went around town wearing makeup and skirts hitched up to the thigh. They congregated outside our school at night, where they practiced the dance routines of Mariah Carey and Toni Braxton. They were a revelation, and I was emboldened just watching them. Wendi lived with her grandparents, who supported her and allowed her to wear girls' clothes and makeup, a freedom I envied. I spent hours in her room, playing with her cosmetics, plucking my eyebrows, trying on bras. The more time I spent with Wendi, the more comfortable I grew expressing myself as a female. By the end of my freshman year in high school, I was regularly wearing women's clothes to school.
But the fallout was swift and merciless. Fag! I can see your balls! The insults reverberated off the lockers and echoed down the school hallways. Though I was never physically threatened and never feared for my safety, the harassment was relentless. Not a moment went by that wasn't accompanied by a taunt, a slur, a cruel reminder that my classmates could not, would not, see me as I saw myself. "You're making people uncomfortable," one vice principal said while he looked me over with disdain. Soon he gave me an ultimatum: Wear a skirt to school again and get sent home for the day. But it was too late to turn back. I liked how I looked as a young woman, even though it meant exposing myself to ridicule. After that, I held my head high as I strode through the hallways in my miniskirts, past the haters who called me a freak, past the teachers who looked on disapprovingly, and past the vice principal who routinely sent me home. By the end of sophomore year, my mother, who condoned my wardrobe, had had enough. Together, we decided it was time to transfer schools.
Though most of the students at my new school had heard whispers about my past, it was a much more open environment. There was even a Teen Center staffed with social workers who counseled gay kids. One of them joined me as I introduced myself to teachers as Janet and helped them get comfortable with calling me that name instead of the one listed on the attendance sheets.
There are key moments in a person's life when you just know your destiny is about to change. For me, this moment came when Wendi, whom I remained friends with despite being in different schools, started taking female hormone pills. When she graduated to injections a few months later, she sold me her pills for $1 a pop. The timing was divine, as I'd already begun to detect a hint of an Adam's apple on my throat. The changes in my 15-year-old body horrified me. Sometimes while showering, my thoughts got dark: What if I just cut this thing off? Wendi's pills were my savior. For three months, I took estrogen and watched my body's slow metamorphosis: softer skin, budding breasts, a fuller face.
But I knew that taking them without the supervision of a doctor was risky. I needed someone to monitor my progress. That's when I finally confessed to my mom what I'd been doing. A single, working mother, she didn't have the luxury or will to micromanage my life and allowed me to do what I wanted so long as I continued making honor roll. That was our unspoken deal. But the medical changes were different she recognized that my desperation to be a woman was not just teen angst or rebellion; it was a matter of life or death. "If that's what you want," she said, looking me straight in the eye, "we're going to do it the right way." So she signed off on a local endocrinologist's regimen of treatments, which involved weekly hormone shots in the butt and daily estrogen pills. For the first time, I could visualize heading off to college as a woman, pursuing a career as a woman. No more dress-up, no more pretending.

A Crazy Crazy Day
All of a sudden this elderly fellow dashed past me, towards a cab that was driving by, to try and flag it down. Only instead he ran straight into a garbage can, fell back, and hit his head on the sidewalk. It looked like he blacked out for a brief moment. He tried to sit up, made it only part way, and then fell back again. He was laying on the ground. I stepped over and helped the man to his feet and over to a set of stairs that were nearby so that he could sit down. His pupils were swollen and he seemed completely out of it. I told him I was going to call 911.
He said, in a quiet, broken English, "No. I just need a minute. I'm going to the hospital anyway." And then he lifted up his shirt to reveal a gigantic gauze bandaged to his stomach. It almost looked like he had a feeding tube underneath the gauze, though I couldn't tell, and the bandage stretched almost the entire way across his skinny body. "I have an appointment," he said.
"Where is your appointment?" I asked. "I think you need medical attention right away."
"Arlington Hospital."
"Is there someone I can call?"
"Can you please get me a cab? I need to go to my appointment."
"I'll try to get you a cab. Wait here."
I ran out in the pouring rain to try to flag down a cab. There aren't a ton that pass by the metro stop we were at, but after a couple minutes in the downpour I was able to flag down a Redtop. "There's a man here who needs to go to Arlington hospital. He's right around the corner."
"No," said the cabbie. "I'm only taking people into the city." And he drove away (splashing me in the process. Not that that mattered, I wasn't getting any wetter.).
I ran back to the man to make sure he was doing ok. He wasn't. He had vomited a little and was now rinsing his mouth out with a bottle of water he had. "Is there anyone else I can call? You don't want me to get an ambulance? 911?"
"No 911," he said. I surmised that he either probably wasn't a legal resident or didn't have insurance to cover an ambulance ride. Both were issues I see regularly in my work, so I wanted to respect his decision. "Can you call my wife?"
"Yes. What is the number?"
He gave me a number but stopped after 8 digits. It was like that scene from The Injury episode of The Office when Dwight starts talking and then just stops mid sentence. I eventually coaxed two more digits out of him, but no one answered on the other end and I don't know if the number was right.
"I'll try for another cab," I said.
As I was standing in the rain to hail another taxi my co-worker pulled up. I explained the situation and she tried to help me flag down a cab. Eventually we got another cab - this time it was Crown Cab Co. - and the driver told us the same thing. He wasn't going to take someone further out into Arlington. My co-worker figured it was probably because with the rain they were making a mint off of taking people into the city and picking up short fares downtown. I figured she was right. She ran off the check on the guy, who apparently had vomited some more. After that she went and found a number for Red Top's dispatch, so we could order a cab. Before she did all this she offered me her umbrella. I told her to keep it, since I wasn't going to get any wetter than I already was.
I stayed out in the rain, trying to hail more cabs. Eventually another Red Top pulled up and the driver didn't even bother telling me no. As soon as he heard "Arlington Hospital" he rolled up the window and sped away. My co-worker found the number and brought it over for me. I called the dispatch. I was on hold for 5 minutes, during which time another cab - Yellow Top - was flagged down and refused the fair. Finally dispatch picked up. It was no easy task to convince them to send a cab for a guy who needed to go to the hospital, especially when I couldn't even give them his name. As I was in the middle of this frantic call, talking to dispatch, another passerby asked me if I could call a cab for her too. I pretty much yelled at her and she left in a huff. I'm sure she's telling people about the rude guy who wouldn't even ask for two cabs. Eventually I convinced the dispatch to send a cab, but told me it would be 20 minutes. I said to send it, and went back to the guy.
He seemed to be doing a bit better, though he still wasn't ready to stand up. My co-worker helped me flag down another cab - Red Top again - and we explained that dispatch was supposed to be sending someone, so couldn't he just pick him up instead. "No way," he said. "It's not my call." And again he drove off.
We were already 30 minutes late for our meeting, and nothing we were doing seemed to have any positive effect. I felt really bad for my co-worker, who kind of got sucked into this whole mess (and she was a great support with it), but I didn't want to leave the guy. Finally something good happened - a metro employee came up for a break. I was able to grab his attention and explain the situation - that I saw him fall, the concussion, that he was already going to the hospital, that I hadn't been able to get a cab, but there should be one in 5 minutes and he needed to get in it, etc.
The metro employee was awesome. He agreed to help the guy, went right over and started talking to him, to see what he could do, how he could help him, everything. At that point it was clear the elderly fellow was in good hands, and we were finally able to take off. I felt a little bad not seeing him into a cab, but I feel pretty confident he was taken care of.
On the way to the meeting my co-worker and I talked about whether we should have just given him a ride. I didn't feel I could volunteer her car, and she was apprehensive because the hospital wasn't on the way at all, she really didn't have much room, and the vomiting thing was an obvious detractor. We both felt bad we didn't just take him there, and looking back, we kind of wished we would have.
Still... we did what we could. It was hard to know what to do in that situation. I spent the rest of the day soaking wet, wishing things had gone better, and still in disbelief that 5 separate cabs turned him down.
Then we had an all-staff meeting where we talked about all sorts of ways to make our offices more efficient and better for clients and what not. After which, we got to go bowling! A nice end to a long meeting. I bowled a 112 and a 122. Not my best games. I have 5 strikes in each game, but also managed a 0 in frame in the first game, and a bunch of 4's in both. Very inconsistent. But it was fun.
And while I was on a break at the meeting I was able to use a different co-worker's iPhone to check the results on the Minnesota Bar exam, which were posted this morning. I passed! That makes me undefeated in bar examinations. And I think I'll go out on top, and announce my retirement from taking these tests. Of course it seems that these days everyone comes out of retirement at least once... hopefully I won't have to!
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man

Intense day. And congrats on the Bar.
Congratulations on passing the bar. Fantastic.
I also think you did the right thing with that man and it's commendable you stuck with it. Good to hear such stories.
Congrats on passing the bar!
What a crazy day! It's unbelievable that 5 cabs refused to take someone to the hospital!
Is calling an ambulance a problem for illegal immigrants? I've never ridden in an ambulance, but do the medics really ask for ID?
- Matthew B. Novak said...
In Northern VA you can't be too careful with immigrants... the biggest issue wouldn't have been the ambulence checking the ID, it would have been calling 911 and having the police show up too.

- Thinking Fool said...
Congrats on the BAR!!!! That's wonderful! Even more wonderful is what you did for the old man. Bravo.
- Ben said...
Congratulations, sir! Now you are Esquire in two separate states.
But, more to the point, helping that guy was a Christ-like, compassionate thing to do. "Well done, good and faithful servant."
- superscalifragilisticexpealidocious said...
Maybe I'll be a cab-driver
so that when people are asking for a ride to the hospital, I can be the good one and drive them there! sheesh that is just ridiculous!
Congrats though :]

0.9.6 (build 246) (last update on Oct 6, 2014)
GPLv2 or later
Free Download
11 September 2011
Video tutorials and demos: http://crosstec.de/en/joomla-cck-demos.html
The main task for ContentBuilder is to structure Joomla!® content (articles) while preserving content layouts - but you can do a lot more with it, including:
* Catalogs
* Directories
* Classified Ads
* Contact Forms
* Article Submission
* Basic Communities
* Paid Content
* File Directories (Upload/Download)
* File Selling
* Image Galleries
* Extended Joomla! registrations, including Captcha and paid registrations
* List/Details views (Record Display)
* …or regular CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations on your data.
Supports CSV Import!
Joomla!®'s article system is not replaced. ContentBuilder provides list/details views by default that can act as administrative panels. It also creates regular content items if desired, which you may use on your site just like any other content -- without the need of core replacements.
Additionally, you can use ContentBuilder to control user permissions for several actions, such as content access, content editing, rating, article parameter settings, publishing, etc.
ContentBuilder provides a well-defined plugin infrastructure to enhance its capabilities:
* Content (extended ratings, image resizing, downloads or any other content plugin available)
* Form Elements
* Form Validation
* List Actions (select records and perform actions on them)
* Verification (think of payments and coupons)
* Themes (yes, even themes are pluggable)
There is a variety of plugins that ship with ContentBuilder already, such as PayPal payment, image resizing (thumbnails, modal details), downloads, list actions and common form validations. Plugins and modules like Advanced Search, Videos and Article Selection Form Element are available seperatly from download page.
ContentBuilder offers an easy-to-use integrated form builder that can operate on the data source of your choice.
For our BreezingForms fans, you might be interested to know that it also integrates perfectly with ContentBuilder (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/contacts-and-feedback/forms/4709).
*** NOTE: version 1.0 is in the works. The current version may be used in production already ***
Changelog: http://bit.ly/qn1ygW
Great extension, you should try it, specially with breezingforms and you'll see how many things you can do in such a short time and little effort.
CrossTec has done a great job with the content builder. The component is installed after a few steps and with the tutorial video you can step by step equal to celebrate his first successes. I have tested several other such components but right after installation, I was struck by the 1000 options and I was frustrated. Certainly Content Builder've found a lot more than I up to now but for the start it is enough for me. Also, there is certainly still optimization potential at one place or another but this is also a matter of taste. Anyway, I'm super happy and the component can only recommend it to anyone who is also looking for a simple, free and powerful component!
Thanks to the developer
- Look into the email templates... It sent raw template code. Using a single field in the subject line, did work - all else was raw template code, including the hide-if stuff.
- A solution for nested / linked data was hoped-for because it would have completed this system. E.g., tags usable in views to include another view.
If I'd found solutions to these two items, I'd be using ContentBuilder for a trouble ticket system. As it stands, I have a long list of medium-priority UGC ideas which ContentBuilder is _perfect_ for, and I'll be watching for updates.
Kudos for having a manual :)
Reviews: 11
If you are not a developer and not yet really sure how you want to get your communities more engaged with your content, then you need to look at this.
Just take some time to read CBuilder's documentation, it might expand your horizons.
I was searching for a component to show data of a CSV or similar using always the same template. It does it really great and quite easy. Only small difficulty: configurations are not central and sometime I still have to search where to configure some special things.
I also had contact with the support. The answers were very competent and the crosstec-employee had a lot of patience.
After I`d installed Content Builder it was very easy to set up the lists and new database tables. The extension works great after it is configured.
Then I´d some problems with the set up of the views in that way we need it. The Crosstec Team and DJ were very helpful to solve my issues.
Thanks a lot for your assistent!
This extension is free, very flexible, very light, has advanced search, has CSV import and with just with a tiny bit of PHP, SQL and CSV you can make a huge database in a day!
Really great, I want to thank the developers for the great work, keep it up!
Content builder really just nails it across many areas. It is a little daunting at first as there are many options but if you take the time to get used to the software the possibilities are endless.
The developers are quick to respond to any changes in Joolma which happen regually.
The component is free but you can subscribe for extra support.
Even without a subscription the developers are quick to respond to any questions or problems you may have. It is rare to see a question go unanswered.
I intend to stick with Content Builder well into the future for my website needs and cannot wait to see where the developers take it.
Content Builder is sort of like a CMS with your CMS, truly a work of art.

The pilot had planned to make three takeoffs and landing for night currency. The pilot did not contact Flight Service for a weather briefing nor did he file a flight plan. When the pilot took off, visibility was poor due to heavy mist. A witness said visibility worsened when a wall of fog covered the airfield while the airplane was in the traffic pattern. He heard the airplane at full power, and watched it fly about 100 feet over the hangars where the landing gear was illuminated by the rotating beacon. The witness stated 'he throttled up to do a go-around' and heard the airplane all the way to impact. Emergency crews from four different municipalities required 1 hour and 20 minutes to locate the wreckage on the airport due to heavy fog. The airspeed indicator needle was crushed against the face at the 160 knot striation. The engine tachometer needle was crushed against the face at the 3200 RPM striation, 500 RPM above the placarded redline. A review of the pilot's logbook revealed he had 135 hours of total flight experience. He had logged 1.8 hours in the month before the accident. Prior to that, he had not flown in 7 months, and his last night experience was 18 months prior to the accident. He was not instrument rated.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

|2. Newsletter Irontrail
Dear Irontrailers,
We have been overwhelmed by the number of applications! A total of 160 enthusiasts have already registered and 115 in the T201. This means that 23% of the starting places in the T201 have already been allocated. So if you also want to be part of the 2012 premiere and, as an Irontrail Member, benefit from a guaranteed place for the years 2013 to 2015, be sure to book your entry today.
Once our website went live and applications started coming in, a few queries arose. To make sure you are up-to-date, here are some new points:
"Where is the best place to book my accommodation?"
We are currently in the process of working out some attractive accommodation offers in co-operation with the hotels in the main destinations Engadin St. Moritz and Chur. These will be published on our website during the course of November.
In subsequent Newsletters, we will also be introducing you to the individual destinations, so you can pick out your favourite.
As a runner in the T201 or T141, you must pay special attention to the acclimatisation process. This is why we recommend that you arrive on 1 July 2012 at the latest. This will also give you the opportunity in the week leading up to the Irontrail to take part in the attractive supporting programme with seminars, an exhibition and other events, not forgetting the only Morteratsch - Diavolezza route inspection, including the glacier crossing, on 2 July 2012.
"Am I allowed to run the course today as a means of preparation?"
The route will not be marked out until the race takes place. However, with the 1:50,000 map on our website, it is certainly possible to run the course today, in particular as existing through paths can be used.
The only exception is the section from Morteratsch to Diavolezza. This part of the route is not marked from Bovalhütte and cannot be tackled without appropriate equipment and local knowledge. Instead, we recommend the climb up onto Mount Diavolezza using the route marked in blue on this route map.
A GPS track is in development and will be published on our website as soon as it is ready. You will be informed at the appropriate time in a future Newsletter.
"I registered some time ago. Why am I still not on the list of runners?"
If you have not received an acknowledgement e-mail from Mika Timing within one day of your entry application, then your registration has been unsuccessful. If this is the case, please register once again online.
If your chosen method of payment is by bank transfer or postal giro transfer, then the transfer details will be included with your acknowledgement e-mail. Please be aware of the fact that all of these payments have to be entered manually in the registration system by Mika Timing. This takes place once every week. Therefore, depending on when your payment arrives, it can take up to two weeks until you see your name on the list of runners.
We are making every effort to expand our website on an ongoing basis and, of course, to always keep you up-to-date via our Newsletters. If, in spite of this, there is still something troubling you, please do not hesitate to contact us via: email@example.com.
In forthcoming Newsletters, we will be highlighting individual sections of the route. Prepare to be surprised.
Secure your own place in the race! We look forward to hearing from you.

Warm lighting inside this intimate bar reveals an ancient wooden ceiling, and wine-rack walls serve as a reminder of Sydney's convict past. Early settlers chose the tank stream as their source of fresh water. And while the stream itself now flows underground, the bar remains one of Sydney's favourite watering holes.

Private Functions
Tank stream is an intimate wine bar that provides a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere for business functions, parties and events. It has a traditional yet eclectic sense of style and an easy to-get-to location in the centre of Sydney's CBD. Tank Stream guests will enjoy a constant supply of fine wine and great food served by our attentive staff.
Private Wine Tastings
Tanks Stream Bar's feature wall is a floor-to-ceiling wine rack that sets a unique backdrop for wine and cheese tastings. The ultimate networking venue, Tank Stream has tailor-made packages that can be customized per wine region or varietal. Every package is hand selected by one of our Sommeliers.
Establishment Hotel

Final Word - Indiana: If you are like me then you would just as soon turn the page on the game Saturday night in Bloomington, and move on. Our family was actually there, and enjoyed a great afternoon tailgating under an autumn sky, in a great spot a little south of the stadium. The weather was ideal, we experienced some Hoosier Hospitality and I was pumped for a great game. What I did not expect was for Halloween to come a couple weeks early, and for a bunch of impostors to be dressed in scarlet and gray, pretending to be Silver Bullets. Nor did I anticipate a four-hour long game complete with numerous missed tackles, blown assignments, questionable calls, and the overturning of plays in spite of lack of "indisputable evidence." It was a strange night indeed!
As for post-game awards, Urban made it clear that no defensive players graded out as a champion against the Hoosiers (surprise, surprise). From my seat on the 30-yard-line I noticed a couple of positives on defense: Ryan Shazier did pretty good job in pass coverage, and Noah Spence played with energy and intelligence. Beyond that, it was pretty sad. Of course, on a night when the team scored 52 points (which should have been more like upper 60's or low 70's), there were plenty of "champions". Braxton Miller, Carlos Hyde, and Jack Mewhort were co-offensive players of the game, and other players who graded out champion on offense were Corey Brown, Jake Stoneburner (nice to see him reappear), Reid Fragel, Corey Linsley and Jeff Heuerman. On special teams, Meyer cited Travis Howard as the player of the week, with Jamal Marcus, Zach Domicone, Bradley Roby and Ben Buchanan also grading out as champions.
Obviously, Urban was not happy with the performance and made that clear in his post-game comments. Then at Monday's press conference he shared his displeasure with the defense, players and coaches. Some other notable comments from the head man:
First, concerning injuries we know that Etienne Sabino is out for at least two more games, and it sounds like Jordan Hall won't be back this Saturday either (and it may be longer, as he is not healing quickly). Freshman "piranha" Najee Murray is out for the year, after suffering a season ending injury to his knee during a freshmen scrimmage. Classmate Armani Reeves is recovering from a sprained ankle and may be available this week, but is questionable.
The news is better for senior Nathan Williams, who missed the Indiana game due to a concussion. Meyer has reported that Williams will be available this week. And although both Travis Howard and Christian Bryant missed a portion of Saturday night's game they did return, and should be good to go this week, despite nursing some bumps and bruises.
Injuries have influenced the two-deep in unexpected ways. Of course, Zach Boren played a great deal of middle linebacker Saturday night, his first action on defense in 3 1/2 years, and wound up with 8 tackles, although his play was not exactly stellar. He may continue to play some linebacker (Meyer called the move "temorarily permanent"), but the big news this week is that the coaching staff is considering playing Nathan Williams at MLB, a position he played in high school Big Nate lined up at linebacker for a couple of plays earlier this year, and with the growth of Noah Spence, the staff is toying with sliding Williams from DE to MLB, at least for portions of the upcoming games. It is definitely something to keep an eye on.
As for Storm Klein, he should continue to get some time at linebacker, although it is clear the staff isn't sold on the senior. And, the guy who started the year in the middle, sophomore Curtis Grant, has completely disppeared in recent games, but both Urban Meyer and Luke Fickell say they haven't given up on him long term. It took Sabino a long time for the light to go on, and possibly that will also be the case with Grant as well.
Bring on the Boilers: Purdue comes to town this Saturday, a team that has beat the Buckeyes two of the last three years. Danny Hope has never struck me as a great coach, but he does have a winning record against Ohio State. However, this year's edition of the Boilermakers is leaking oil as the season moves into the second half. Urban said on Tuesday, at the B1G teleconference, that he sees a good Purdue team on film, though he also mentioned that they have been plagued by missed tackles, as have the Buckeyes. Looking ahead to this weekend Urban also said that the offensive line play has been the biggest area of improvement from OSU, and you have to believe they will look to run the ball at Purdue, since recent opponents have had so much success in that regard. The head coach also mentioned that he would like to get Kenny Guiton into a game without Miller being injured, and said the team is trying to toughen up Devin Smith by hitting him every time he catches the ball. Not sure that will help with his drops, but at least it is a thought.
Coach Hope of Purdue also praised the improvement of the Ohio State offensive line and said that Braxton Miller is a much more complete player than he was a year ago. Bemoaning his team's play the past couple of weeks, Hope said the Boilermakers haven't blocked or tackled and have dropped too many balls. We can only "hope" that trend lasts for at least one more week!
Tidbits: The 49 points OSU allowed Saturday night in Bloomington were the most they have surrendered since 1994, and the most ever given up to Indiana...Bradley Roby's 14 passes defended is tied for most in the nation along with Alabama's Dee Milliner and Rice's Phillip Gaines, and Roby missed a game...OSU is recruiting a JUCO player for the first time in quite awhile. Continuing their search for playmakers, the Buckeyes have offered wide receiver Corey Smith. The 6-foot, 170-pound Smith is originally from Akron Buchtel. After graduating from Buchtel, he played one season at Grand Rapids Community College in Michigan, and then headed to East Mississippi Junior College. So far this season, Smith has over 30 catches and 7 touchdowns...One of the pleasant surprises of late has been running back Carlos Hyde who has been a beast agaisnt Nebraska and Indiana. ESPN's Adam Rittenberg had a nice piece on "El Guapo" earlier this week, mentioning the turnaround from a season ago when Carlos tweeted about his lack of playing time, and desire to play elsewhere...Speaking of the boy's at ESPiN, they also took time this week to do a midseason report on every team in the B1G. You can read it right here, but don't expect any surprises or revelations. Their offensive MVP of the first half is Braxton Miller, and defensive MVP is Bradley Roby...Finally, the Plain-Dealer's Doug Lesmerises opines that OSU would rank 7th in the NCAA BCS standings if they were eligible. My guess is the teams in front of them all play a little better defense! Have a great week, and go Bucks!

Readers Poll: Top 10 Guitar Albums of 1983
July 04, 2014 at 11:52am
I can't believe Motley Crüe's "Shout At The Devil" ranked anywhere. And they fell on their faces covering the Beatles' "Helter Skelter"? What a mess that was! The original was more "Metal" than the Crüe's sorry mess.
September 20, 2011 at 1:43pm
yeah Crue is the first!!! They are one of my favorite bands and they still rock.
September 15, 2011 at 12:45am
Of course Crue is #1! Mick Mars is amazing! I consider him one of the greatest guitarists and this album is why!
September 11, 2011 at 8:23pm
Motley Crue is #1 because they are the true rock and roll/metal group. Over the 30 years they have had their addictions, their "splits", loves, losses and problems but yet they still fucking rock it out. They have stayed true to themselves, their music, and most of all their fans!!!!
September 06, 2011 at 3:07pm
Ahhh I love motley crue because tommy lee is sexy. Haha, that and the songs are heavy yet bubblegum. I. Love. Them.
Ben Fehr
September 01, 2011 at 2:25pm
Motley crue number one baby woo
August 31, 2011 at 4:35pm
Mick Mars knew what was goin on!
August 31, 2011 at 11:37am
Glad Shout At The Devil is number one
August 31, 2011 at 1:31am
Shout was definitely one of the greatest guitar albums of not only 1983 but of the 80's...
August 31, 2011 at 12:49am
Shout at the Devil = Awesome Album
August 28, 2011 at 9:47am
Shout at the Devil! oh man... Fantastic album!! Can't wait to see the Crue again!!
August 28, 2011 at 4:11am
Motley Crue over Dio ? Iron Maiden ? METALLICA ? I mean Kill em all is sheer GUITAR ! GW = Rolling Stone
August 27, 2011 at 7:24pm
Shout at the devil!!! The BEST!
August 26, 2011 at 6:57pm
One of my fav Crue albums!!!! I think it has to be one of the best albums of the whole 80s, not just 1983!!!!!! CRUE!!! CRUE!!! CRUE!!!
August 26, 2011 at 2:16am
best music came out of the 80s....love it!!!
August 26, 2011 at 12:15am
Great albums and great time, but no doubt that Motley Crue will be number 1 :)
August 24, 2011 at 5:32pm
Shout at the Devil...Great choice!! Motley kicks ass!!!
August 24, 2011 at 2:47pm
Shout at the devil is definitely the greatest album from 1983. Motley Crue is amazing! I have 2 copies of that album on vinyl!
Satyajit Sharma
August 24, 2011 at 12:23am
Bark at the Moon is my personal choice.
August 23, 2011 at 6:11pm
Shout at the devil was a great album. definitely one of the greatest albums of all time.
August 23, 2011 at 4:14pm
Shout at the Devil is Awesome... should be number one for all of the 80's
Glenn Kennedy
August 23, 2011 at 2:55pm

I agree with most of that list, was kinda surprised to see Crue at #1 but happy since Crue is one of my all-time favorite bands.
