ROMERO, Adriano L.; BAPTISTELLA, Lúcia H. B.; COELHO, Fernando and IMAMURA, Paulo M.. Resolution of ibuprofen: a project for an experimental organic chemistry course. Quím. Nova [online]. 2012, vol.35, n.8, pp.1680-1685. ISSN 0100-4042. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-40422012000800031.
A practical and didactic sequence of experiments was proposed to illustrate the stereochemistry concept, optically active compounds, resolution of racemates, and use of the NMR technique, including 2D-COSY for identification of organic compounds, on a laboratory course for undergraduate students. The sequence was: extractions of racemic ibuprofen and chiral naproxen from commercial tablets; syntheses of diastereoisomeric amides reacting chiral (S)-(-)-α-methylbenzylamine with (±)-ibuprofen; separation and determination of absolute configuration of amides by 1H NMR spectroscopy and GC analysis, and hydrolysis of amides to obtain (+)- and (-)-ibuprofen.
Keywords : resolution of ibuprofen; stereochemistry; NMR Spectroscopy.

Berdan to Boxer Reloading??????

A customer of mine posed an interesting reloading question to me which I am unable to
answer. He's getting a case of Cole Distributing's Mil-Surplus Yugoslavian (50's mfg)BRASS-cased, BERDAN-primed 8mm Mauser ammo from me, and has ordered some 9x18 Makarov ammo which is also BRASS-cased, and BERDAN-primed. He hates the idea of throwing all that brass away, and would like to reload the Berdan-primed cases with Boxer primers. Can he drill a centered flash-hole into the cases, and handload them, (mainly to lighter loads) SAFELY? What pressure/ignition/primer issues are we dealing with here? Is this brass up to being reloaded? I HAVE seen this done before, but I really question the practice. I load
primer-only propelled wax bullets for indoor practice in 9mm Para; (FUN
) without
enlarging the flash holes. And then there's Winchester's "Win-Clean" cases which I've
read have larger flash-holes than their other loads, and specifically are marked as
non-reloadable, yet several people have been reloading them with no problems. What do you guys (and gals
) think on this one? Thanks- Dakotan

My mother (mid 50s) and I (Mid 20s) happened to be in the area of the AGO this past Sunday. We decided that we would stop in and see if we could get a table at Frank.
Some initial confusion about if they were fully booked or if we would be able to have a table in about 20 minutes aside, the entire experience was great.
When you walk in the doors the bar and "lounge", really more of a waiting area with a banquette and a single low table with 3 chairs, are to your right. We were not willing to wait to see if we could end up with a proper table but overheard that one could eat off the same restaurant menu in the "lounge", which we decided to do. Our server/the bartender was awesome.
I chose the Moules frites, muscles and clams with French fries and mayo for dipping. The muscles were HUGE, seriously, almost the size of a timbit, and an ample portion, probably 12 or so, even though they were in the appetizers part of the menu. The clams were equal in number though obviously smaller in size. The frites were also super, crunchy and thinly sliced. The mayo was slightly lemony, which made a great accompaniment to the fries. This dish was, I believe $14 and worth every penny.
My mom had the "steak and eggs", really brisket with caramelized mushrooms/onions and 2 fried eggs on top. This was also fantastic and great value for money, at, I think, $14 or so.
We were also served 6 pieces (3 varieties, a sour dough, a pumpernickel and something else I can't remember) of bread with butter and salt in a side dish. The butter was room temperature for spreading, one of my biggest pet peeves is cold butter you can't spread so this was encouraging!
We did not drink but they had a decent looking wine list with a fair selection at $4 a glass and with a soda coming to $2.50 this would not add significantly to the final total.
The total for 2 with soft drink, tax and tip came to less than $40. We walked away satisfied, if not stuffed full. I would definitely recommend this. I actually would recommend eating at the bar over eating in the actual restaurant if you are looking for a more casual brunch or lunch, they seemed a bit stuffy over on the restaurant side but that could have just been the hostess.
Overall a reasonable place to stop in for a great meal with great people watching as well. If you really want a table, call a few days in advance otherwise eat at the bar!

Former Irish Close Champion Cormac Sharvin is hoping that a little bit of 'home advantage' can give the Irish players an edge at the British Amateur Championship this week.
The Ardglass golfer begins his qualifying quest at Royal Portrush today, a venue he describes as his 'favourite'.
"The standard is very high. I suppose we are playing against the 'cream of the crop'this week, the best amateurs in the world," said Sharvin.
"It will be a tough week but I think and hope the local guys have a bit of advantage.
"Most of the lads know Portrush and Portstewart pretty well."
The 21-year-old reached the semi-finals of the North of Ireland Championship at Royal Portrush last year during a season when he burst onto the national stage by winning the Irish Close.
His performances have been more patchy so far in 2014 but he feels that his game is turning around just at the right time.
"I took some time off there to concentrate on my Univeristy exams and felt a bit rusty when I returned to action," he said.
"I struggled for a few weeks but since I have returned home from college I have been working hard and it's pretty much where I want it to be."

This podcast is brought to you by SEW Eurodrive - Leaders in the field of drive technology.
Friday, April 23, 2010.
From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, I'm Jacqueline Holman.
Making headlines today:
Mineral Resources Minister Susan Shabangu has instructed the South African mining industry's special task team to pull the country back from the global mining brink. This is after its plunge down to the nether regions of Fraser Institute rankings, where it is keeping company with the likes of Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Venezuela.
Shabangu told the House during the debate on the 2010/2011 Department of Mineral Resources Budget Vote that she had specifically tasked the mining industry growth, development and employment vehicle, or Migdett, not only to restore but also to enhance South Africa's ranking as a mining investment destination.
The Fraser Institute's survey of 72 mining countries pushed South Africa down to the 61st position, from its 49th position previously.
The Department of Mineral Resources has approved and granted the conversion of junior-miner Pan African Resources' old-order mining rights for the Barberton Mines, in South Africa's Mpumalanga province, into new-order mining rights.
Pan African CEO Jan Nelson said that the granting of new-order mining rights created long-term stability for the business and demonstrated that South Africa remains an attractive place to conduct mining business.
The Barberton Mines comprise the Fairview Mine, the New Consort Mine and the Sheba Mine.
Collectively, the mines produce about 100 000 ounces a year of gold.
Also making headlines:
Precious metals consultancy GFMS expects demand for platinum to rise by 5% this year.
JSE-listed Gold One agrees to a three-year wage deal with the National Union of Mineworkers.
A recovering DRDGold reports higher production and lower costs.
And, Harmony Gold is upbeat about its drilling results in Papua New Guinea,
That's a round up of news making headlines today.

The phrase social construction of reality was used in 1966 by Peter Berger and T. Luckmann. Social construction of reality is an aspect of many micro interpretive theory perspectives in sociology and must be understood as a contrast to positivistic sociology (Positivism) and structural sociology (Structuralism).
Rejecting the notion that events or social phenomena have an independent and objective existence, they examine the methods that members of society use to create or socially construct reality. David Emile Durkheim, for example was a positivist and a structuralist and argued that suicide had an objective existence, independent of himself and others. That is, there was something about the way of death that constituted something as a suicide.
An advocate of the social construction of reality perspective would argue that suicide is just a label for a death and is constituted, or created, by the accounts that people like police, family, or coroners give of the death. Our accounting methods then construct reality rather than there being some independent reality which we can describe or explain.
Like cultural construction of reality, social construction of reality is an aspect of interpretive perspectives (Interpretive Theory) in sociology.

Surely somewhere in the many pages here there are likely similar topics posts-but to save me an hour of searching, I will just start a new one. I am status post double mastectomy(surgery 4/10/13)for breast cancer with reconstruction with implants and strattice (tissue matrix to hold it all in place). I am not cleared to run, since I had developed seromas (fluid collections) after my surgical drains were pulled a week after surgery-I had to have them put back in and it set me back a few wks-since then the surgeon is being quite cautious with me with regard to returning to exercise/running. Drains back out yesterday, so far no further fluid build up. Feeling pretty good-fatigue easily but typical.
I have completed 3 half marathons, and while I am a pokey, recreational runner, it is my therapy. I am wondering who out there has gone through something similar, and what they did to gradually return to their running. My plastic surgeon is saying at least another 3 weeks before I can return-but once I do-what have others started with? I am currently walking (sooooooo bored!) about 3miles daily(yes with my drains! for about a week now). Post surgery did gain about 5lbs. Not doing chemo, radiation, or tamoxifen. I was that lucky. Nodes were clear.
Given the reconstruction-particularly to my pec muscles-I want to return to strength training too-as it of course keeps me running. BUT-I am afraid of messing this all up. I have pushed for PT-and may go that route-but surgeon doesn't think I'll need it. Anyway-would love to hear of any other women's experience with this. I was about to train for a full marathon when I received my diagnosis(it would have been this July). I am signed up for a half marathon this October. I plan on doing it. Thanks in advance-and I apologize for the looong post!

Halle Berry Needed Tough Love to Make It
Halle took full advantage of the warm LA weather in her white-hot sundress while shopping yesterday. Looking at how glamorous she is now, you'd never guess that she was once so broke she was forced to live in a homeless shelter. In the April issue of Reader's Digest she talks all about the difficult road to success and the tough love from her mother that helped to get her there. Here are highlights:
"When I moved to Chicago, [my mother] drove me there, but I don't think she ever thought it would pan out. After a month or two, I ran out of money and called her. I said, Mom, I hate to ask you this, but could you send me some money? I just have rent money; I can't eat this week. And she said no. She said, "I'm not going to start this calling home asking Mom for money. No, figure it out or come home." I was so mad. I didn't speak to her for a year and a half."
"But I'm actually grateful she did that, because it taught me how to take care of myself and that I could live through any situation, even if it meant going to a shelter for a small stint, or living within my means, which were meager."
"But a girl had to do what a girl had to do. You can do that when you're 21 and ambitious and your eyes are this big and you don't want to go home," she tells the mag. "I became a person who knows that I will always make my own way."
First Jennifer Garner and now Halle? Sounds like opening up about your days as a struggling actress is the thing to do! Obviously Halle's determination (and probably something to do with those good looks) is part of what has kept her in the game and won her an Oscar. We bet that gorgeous supermodel boyfriend isn't such a bad part of success, either.

Tom Cruise Upstages Katie Holmes At The Kennedy's Premeire [PHOTOS]
Looking quite adorable at last night's (March 28) premiere for The Kennedys, Katie Holmes wore a Ralph Lauren pale teal flared dress with cute tan strappy sandals. Holmes had on a gold necklace featuring an 'S' for her daughter Suri Cruise, five next month.
She was joined by husband Tom Cruise who seemed to think his red carpet appearance was an audition for Zoolander. He was laughing and smiling with Katie, and a number of times the action star ran his hands through his hair.
PHOTOS: Katie Holmes Models For Philippines Brand Kamiseta
While on the red carpet Katie was spotted high-fiving her co-star Greg Kinnear at the Beverly Hills event. Which was probably to celebrate that the ReelzChannel picked up the U.S. broadcast rights.
The network said at the start of last month that it plans to show the mini-series between April 3 to April 10.

GAINESVILLE - What's been touted as Georgia's biggest two-day plant sale returns in April as the Hall County Master Gardeners present their Spring Garden Expo Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5 at Chicopee Woods Agricultural Center.
Organizers said they have lined up a varied cast of vendors so the public can have plenty of varieties of plants from which to choose, including native plants which many gardeners agree are hardier and attract beneficial insects such as pollinators. In addition, vendors will have plenty of yard art and other garden items for sale.
Speakers will offer two free presentations each day. In addition, food vendors will be on hand.
There is a $2 per adult admission fee. Children are free, but pets have to stay home. Chicopee Woods Agricultural Center is located at 1855 Calvary Church Road, Gainesville, GA 30507. Friday the gates open from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. and on Saturday from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.

New Rule: When we can't tell you from the wax statue of you at Madame Tussaud's , stop, John. I'm just saying something is wrong when the least-creepy thing about you is that you're a Scientologist. That's the real picture.
New Rule: Before beginning any scientific study, you must first ask, "Does anyone give a shit about what I'm studying?" Like a recent study revealed that people who decorate their bedrooms purple have the most active sex lives. Yes, because only three types of men have purple bedrooms: pimps, Herman Cain and the Minnesota Vikings.
New Rule, and this one is for Scott Brown: Repeatedly referring to your debate opponent as "Professor" is not a devastating zinger when she's actually a professor! It's like if Elizabeth Warren called you a "failed male model" because there's a picture of you hiding your entire penis behind your wrist. [slide of magazine photo spread of Scott Brown nude]
New Rule: And I don't want to sound like a Republican, but America has too much regulation! This week, we learned that the Women's Tennis Association wants to limit how loud players can grunt during matches. Hello, that's why men watch women's tennis! So we can close our eyes and imagine we're the reason Maria Sharapova is doing this. [sound montage of Sharapova's court scream/grunts]
New Rule: If you're sticking a vodka-filled rubber hose in your ass as a way to get drunker, you've already had enough to drink. Yes, yes, it's true. In order to get drunk faster, college students have been engaging in a practice called "Butt chugging." Where your buddy gets up on a step stool with a bottle of Seagram's and a funnel...I say, with friends like these, who needs enemas?

As Frank Chang explains it, this is not unlike the challenge faced by electrons as they course through your smart phone or iPod. Signals in electronic devices travel along physical circuits. And where these circuits intersect, there are going to be "bottlenecks."
"Modern systems like the iPhone continue to evolve in terms of thinness," says Chang, the Wintek chair professor in the electrical engineering department at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the director of UCLA's High Speed Electronics Laboratory. "But a physical connector is now needed for passing high-speed signals between the board and between the chips. And given the space constraints in these devices, the connections become a bottleneck."
In light of the public's insatiable demand for smaller and ever more functional mobile devices, Chang believes it is time to eliminate physical connections altogether. To that end, he has developed a technology that moves signals across these intersections wirelessly, like radio waves. The technology exploits the special properties of highfrequency electromagnetic radiation. At extremely high frequencies, it is possible to produce signals with wavelengths of a few millimeters. At sizes like these, the signals can be generated on a piece of silicon that is roughly the size of a small fraction of a grain of rice.
"This technology reduces the complication of building these devices," says Ira Deyhimy, CEO of WaveConnex Inc., the company founded to develop and market Chang's technology. "If you go online and look at an exploded view of an iPhone, say, it's very complicated, with many, many internal connections. Our technology makes it simpler to connect the various functions at a reduced size and a reduced cost."
Deyhimy became familiar with Chang's work in millimeter-wave technology while participating in the school of engineering's Institute for Technology Advancement (ITA). The goal of the program is to bring private-sector entrepreneurs and faculty members together to facilitate the commercialization of research underway within the school. Vijay K. Dhir, advisory board chair of ITA and dean of UCLA engineering, notes that "successful partnerships like this are integral to our goal of being a presence at UCLA to aid novel inventions that have positive outcomes for both the economy and society as a whole."
In Chang's research, Deyhimy found a technology that he felt was "ready for prime time."
Chang, who spent part of his career at Rockwell International, was happy to discuss the commercial potential of his research with the entrepreneur. "My industrial experience has taught me so much in terms of where I should focus my research at the school," he says. "And I think that is a key factor in my work. I have always been alert and been interested in pushing the technology for commercialization."
Incorporated in August 2009, WaveConnex is now headquartered in the on-campus incubator at the California NanoSystems Institute.

Length of Life is Increasing
The brain or thought factory has always led. What it said was true was instantly built upon by the digestive system" and became flesh and blood.
No matter how erroneous the statement may be which the brain makes, so long as that statement is accepted and believed, the digestive system builds it into veritable flesh and blood and it becomes living tissue.
Take for instance the race belief in death. Because at this time we have seen that all lives terminate in death we say death is the one inevitable thing. This statement formulated by the brain is accepted by the digestive system—which always builds under orders from the brain—and the result is that everybody dies. The digestive system which is that part of ns that clothes beliefs with flesh, builds in the direction of death instead of building in the direction of life. It builds the human body in weakness instead of building it in power, as it would do if the brain made a statement of power instead of weakness.
It makes no difference what the brain says, whether disease or health; whether old age or perpetual youth; whether death or the conquest of death; just what it says is the thing the digestive system will build and make manifest in the body.
This was the method of growth on the unconscious plane—by which I mean the plane below the reasoning plane—the plane where creatures simply grew in blind obedience to the Law of Attraction, before they were prompted to investigate the law.
We have the most undeniable proof of this fact; we see it in the gradual improvement of the different species of plants and creatures clear up to man. Everything—no matter how low in the scale of lift—projects some belief that reaches beyond its present condition, and is an improvement upon its present condition. This belief is gradually clothed by the digestive system of the creature, so that in time there is an improvement; a gradual growth toward the making of more powerful beliefs and to the inevitable sequence—namely, the clothing the new beliefs by the digestive system.
Here is the whole scheme of evolution. The digestive system is always negative to the brain or thought-projecting power, and its building efforts flow constantly into the last, best and highest statement of this power.
What will seem a strange thing is the fact that creatures have the privilege of building below their present manifestation or bodily expression quite as readily as they build above it. They have the privilege of degenerating as well as that of improving. They may and do—under certain environments which they cannot overcome—grow so much weaker than their progenitors that their brain yields them a feebler statement of life; a weaker belief with regard to their ability to do certain things. In this condition, and because of their weakened belief, they degenerate.
The mind or brain must carry a constant belief in its own power, or else it loses that power. When a certain breed of monkeys found its members could no longer obtain their favorite food from the trees on which they had once lived, and were obliged to live on food they gathered on the ground, they gradually lost the use of their tails, and in time they lost their tails. It may look like folly to say that this whole process was mental, but it was. The monkeys forgot that they had tails; their tails dropped out of their minds and no longer called on the digestive system for the food that had previously supported them. .Let us now suppose that these same monkeys in the course of time found food growing scarce again. It became an absolute necessity for them to think about getting food somewhere else. They were not aware of the fact that they were thinking, for they had not yet emerged from the unconscious plane of growth where thought takes no notice of itself. But it is a fact that they did think because they had to think in order to even know that they were hungry, or to take a single step in the direction of obtaining other food. Let us now suppose that the new food they found was less nutritious than what they had previously lived upon; it would then follow that they would degenerate, and lose to a still farther degree a belief in their power, and so be forced to make a still weaker statement of themselves.
So we see that degeneration is a possible thing. No matter how high a creature's belief may be, if there is nothing for the digestive system to build the belief into flesh and blood, the inevitable result is seen in loss of power.
This fact teaches us a very important lesson; .namely, that we are dependent on Mother Earth for the visible continuance of our lives.
The folly of ignoring the visible part of us, and putting our faith in something which is invisible and beyond the plane of our present efforts, is beginning to be very apparent to all persons who will do their own thinking. Evolution is destroying the heaven of the future by showing man that he created himself in all his past, and predicting grounds for a belief that he can continue to do so. Evolution shows the necessity of drawing our sustenance from the earth and its surrounding fluids; it has established the fact that our lives are dependent on the things which nature yields, and that our lives are of a more developed type in proportion as it yields us more and better food.
Eight up to the present moment we see that food has been our great developing agent; and it is also true that this will always continue to be the case.
But I am not going to stop to discuss this matter now. I want to speak again of the degeneration sometimes apparent in plants and animals, and even perhaps in men. That there are negative influences as well as positive ones no person will deny; but it is observable in the long continued course of growth that the positive influences gain on the negative ones, and life proceeds more rapidly and with less and less of the degenerating impulse. In other words, life makes a constant gain over death. In other words still, there is a constant increase of vitality visible as evolution proceeds.
There was no conscious life on the planet at first, even though all was life in undevelopment. It was life so entirely unconscious of itself that it might have been called dead. But the vital principle of the Law of Attraction manifested more and more all the time, until plants appeared, and then animals.
But the vital power—which is life—kept on manifesting. It kept conquering death in one form or another all the time in spite of occasional retrogression. Indeed it began to gain rapidly over its earlier condition of deadness; it produced animals that constantly improved upon former species in every way. It is plain to the commonest thinker that the whole trend of things was from the deadness of early beginnings to a constantly increasing aliveness. The world is more alive today than ever before. It will be more alive tomorrow than it is today. And why?
It is because all creatures and things, even the lowest forms of life, point upward. It is this upward pointing of all things that leads from lower to higher species constantly. There is nothing that does not aspire to higher conditions; in other words, there is nothing that does not desire something more and better than it has. Its growing intellect speaks in desire, and desire is builded into organism by the digestive system; and so growth proceeds.
It is a tremendous thought, this of the world's becoming more alive every day. Think of it will you? Why it is an absolute guarantee of the conquest of death in time. This result is inevitable. From death to life is the road the race is traveling now, though it is not aware of it. It still remains on the plane of unconscious growth; it is only here and there that a thinker gets up and expounds the situation; a thinker, who by much reasoning on the subject of evolution, and by a close inspection of the always growing faculties of man, has arrived at an understanding of the whole matter.
This is the transitional period from the unconscious plane of growth to the conscious plane. Only a few of us have reached the conscious plane yet, but still the vitalizing principle increases just the same as it has done in the past; the world is growing more highly vitalized every day. Thought is responsible for this; intelligent thought that is constantly recognizing more and more of the world's unexplored and undeveloped forces.
The vitalizing influx proceeds whether the race applies itself to the effort of understanding it or not. The period of such application is not yet reached except by a very few. When it is reached by all, the transposition from the unconscious to the conscious plane of life will be complete.
And when this time comes life will bound forward with lightning speed; it has been slow while confined to the unconscious plane—the plane where there was almost no thought to recognize it. It is recognition of this vitality—this everlasting life principle—that lifts the race from the unconscious to the conscious plane of growth; and it is on this latter plane of growth that man comes into a knowledge of his own mastery and begins to create from his own reasoning powers, instead of from his blind, groping desires, as he created on the unconscious plane.
The difference between the conscious and unconscious planes of life is this; on the unconscious plane the creature pushes forward in the direction of what it wants, through the power of the unreasoning brute will, without any reflection on the matter. In the course of race growth the reflective faculties are developed, and the creature, instead of pushing forward through the force of the brute will, begins to reason on his own innate, but undeveloped powers, when he discovers that he can accomplish his desires through the channels of thought; through belief in his ideals; together with a steady work in the effort to execute them or bring them forth on the material plane.
The first position is one of constant warfare with other creatures on the brute plane, and the entire condition is inharmonious in the extreme.
Such a position necessarily favors isolation; creatures, or even men, that belong to this order, fear and avoid each other.
The Law of Attraction—which is the life principle—manifests in seeming weakness, and race vitality is at a low ebb. Indeed, the farther back we go in the investigation of our earlier existence and our earlier conditions and surroundings, the plainer we see that there was a time when the manifestation of life was so feeble that it was hardly perceptible, and that from this low plane the constant increase of life as expressed in the constantly improving races of animals shows a tendency toward a sort of half conscious understanding of the rights of each other, together with less fear of each other, and consequently a closer approach to each other, thus showing the growing power of the Law of Attraction; and with this growing power was more life evolved constantly.
This evolvement of more and more life has been going on from the start—if there was any start—and it is still going on. It was so weak at first that death was more apparent than life; so that the people said, "Death is the one inevitable thing." But now the life principle is asserting itself so rapidly that the thinker who investigates the matter honestly, begins to see that life is conquering death; it is getting the start of death.
All things prove this. Take, for instance, the race methods of locomotion. See how we have conquered space and time by the inventions of our brains. And another instance is found in the fact that improved foods and improved sense of personal power are now yielding longer lives. It seems hardly anything now to cross the century line; all the papers are stating such instances. In addition to this, statistics are showing that the average length of human life is increasing rapidly.
And yet people look you honestly in the face and tell you that "death is the one thing inevitable." If this were so, and if death were more powerful than life, why is it not driving life out, instead of being driven out by life?

George Strait
"All My Ex's Live in Texas"
This is not such a perfect wedding song, unless you're cool with polygamy. But it's all in good fun, with Strait rhyming names of girlfriends with Texas towns. Our favorite: "Dimples who now lives in Temple's got the law lookin' for me."
Randy Travis
"Forever & Ever Amen"
Not all songs in country are about leavin', cheatin' or murderin'. Take this warmhearted, I'm-so-committed-to-you 1987 single. Perfect wedding song.
Hank Williams Jr.
"All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)"
A slightly depressing lament of the past disguised as a silly party song. This 1981 No. 1 is actually one of his most thoughtful moments, a reflection of the rambunctious lifestyles of his friends, as well as his own.
Hank III and the Damn Band version
Tennessee Ernie Ford
"Sixteen Tons"
Ford genre-surfed from pop to gospel to country, leaving his mark on the third with this 1955 hit, written by Merle Travis, who based the song on his family's experiences in the coal-mining industry.
Roger Miller
"Dang Me"
"King of the Road" is, obviously, Miller's best-known song, but "Dang Me," released in 1964, was no slouch, either. It earned a whopping five Grammys.
Garth Brooks
"Friends in Low Places"
The ultimate go-to-you-know-where anthem from Brooks' excellent 1990 album, "No Fences." The song is so good, in a raunchy, vengeance-is-mine sort of way, you almost forgive Brooks for that whole Chris Gaines thing. Almost
Ray Price
"For the Good Times"
No slight to Kris Kristofferson, who wrote this song, but the lush, orchestral rendition by Price, released in 1970, surpasses all other versions. And there are a lot of them.
Hank Williams Sr.
One of the many, many songs Williams wrote that illustrated just how lonely life can be, even for a wooden Indian. It came out in 1953, shortly after Williams' death.
Johnny Cash & Hank Williams Jr. version
Brad Paisley/Dolly Parton
"When I Get Where I'm Going"
Pint-size genius Paisley is usually at his best when he's poking fun at something, but on this 2005 duet with Dolly Parton, a song about dying proves he can do much more than make you laugh. Who's got a tissue?
Garth Brooks
"The Dance"
If Brooks knew how to do anything, it was construct emotionally riveting ballads that touched a nerve with his audience. This is early proof from his 1989 self-titled debut.
"My Home's in Alabama"
The leadoff, title track to Alabama's 1980 album set the stage for all the band's hits to come. But it also epitomized the group's home-state love and simple approach to making music.
Dwight Yoakam
"Guitars, Cadillacs"
Hillbilly music made a huge comeback in the late `80s, when slinky Dwight Yoakam brought nasal distinction to a song about all the trappings.
Buck Owens
"Act Naturally"
Yes, we know about Ringo Starr's version, but Owens' 1960s cut was full of fun and irony, `cuz he could play the part so well.
June Carter Cash
"Wildwood Flower"
Cash's versions of her family's timeless folk tale ranged from outgoing in her youth to pensive as she aged. Only a great singer, and a great song, can do that.
Tim McGraw
"Live Like You Were Dyin'"
A sensitive song about living well, wistfully delivered by McGraw, who can display a wide range of emotion.
Jerry Lee Lewis
"39 and Holding"
Boomers, this is your country song, delivered in honky-tonk style by a rockabilly pioneer.
Eddy Arnold
"Make the World Go Away"
What a universal and timeless sentiment, not to mention a rich delivery by one smooth stylist. Makes you want to sit by a fireplace and cuddle.
Dolly Parton
"I Will Always Love You"
Parton's at her best on sweet, sad ballads like this one.
Willie Nelson
"Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain"
This sentimental folkish tune could've been a Carter Family song in the 1930s, but Nelson brought the gentle ballad into the outlaw movement with no sweat.
Randy Travis
"On the Other Hand"
Temptation. Fidelity. Powerful themes, delivered in Travis' weathered baritone, though he seemed too young for this in the late 1980s.

1. If people are being honest with Mack Brown right now, he's probably getting a pretty good wake-up call.
We've heard some things that have certainly made us think there are much more deep-rooted issues than even trying to replace three assistant coaches (and maybe more).
It's one thing to have dissension among players. When you don't have great player leadership like Texas experienced this past season, then it falls on the coaches to lead the players until that player leadership grows up and takes over.
Well, there appears to be some player dissension at Texas right now. For starters, the consulting firm hired by Mack Brown to evaluate his program had the players answer questions about which players and coaches did a good job and which ones didn't. Then it required the players sign their own names to it. Guess what? You don't get honest answers that way.
But there were more than Xs and Os issues on the coaching staff this past season.
There may be good reason to believe Mack Brown's hires to fill the vacancies created by the departures of Greg Davis, Mac McWhorter and Mike Tolleson will be the determining factor if some of the other staff stays or goes.
According to those close to the coaches leaving the staff, Mack has been rigid in areas that have left some of the staff utterly exasperated, including areas of recruiting and accountability.
In at least one case, those areas are tied together. Mack Brown often promises a high school junior if they commit to Texas, the Longhorns won't recruit behind him from the same class unless Mack tells a player, we are taking two quarterbacks or three running backs this year.
Well, that's when a kid is a junior. So when a late bloomer develops on the horizon or Texas learns a mega-talented kid in another state wants to come, the Longhorns' hands are tied to Mack's promise. And if that kid doesn't turn out, well, then you've fallen two to three years or more behind at a position.
That's how assistants get frustrated. And that "entitlement" Mack is always talking about like the plague is, in many ways, being established sometimes two seasons before a kid hits campus.
Another concern that appears to be growing in the program is accountability. It seems like a moving target under Mack.
A lot of young players play on defense. It encourages players to never take a lazy step. The young ones are rotated through, given the chance to grow, learn, gain confidence, ultimately shine and produce. It keeps competition and morale high and bonds that side of the ball.
That wasn't the case on the offensive side of the ball. When offensive linemen kept false starting, some of their snaps weren't given to younger players. They were allowed to just keep making the same mistakes, including seniors who were going to have to be replaced in 2011.
That appears to have pissed off some of the other position coaches on the staff.
And yet Mack Brown allowed it to happen. That lack of consistency in holding players accountable is a big reason Greg Davis and Mac McWhorter are no longer with the Longhorns. But it wasn't all their fault. Mack Brown has final say over who plays and who doesn't.
The bottom line is the names you're hearing right now as candidates for jobs - Jim McElwain as offensive coordinator from Alabama; Bob Bostad as offensive line coach from Wisconsin; and John Papuchis as defensive tackles coach and special teams coordinator from Nebraska - these are all edgy coaches who will demand a lot from players.
We're not saying they will all be hired. But those are some of the names in the mix, and they bring what Texas needs. More than schemes and Xs and Os, this program needs edge and accountability.
The question is, if they are hired, will Mack allow the coaches to demand everything they need from the players? Let's just say, if he doesn't, the problems won't get fixed.
2. As Mack Brown has gotten more and more successful, he's seemed to pay as much or more attention to the image of the program as he does to the substance of the program.
He's left the substance up to his coordinators, and that's fine. That's what a CEO coach like Mack, Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden should do.
The problem is when you get so enamored with the image of your program over a near seven-year run like Mack just had with Vince Young and Colt McCoy, you can lose sight of where your program is slipping.
And if you're a coach who is always so concerned about how the program is playing to recruits and knowing exactly what to say in all the radio and TV interviews, when the bottom falls out, it is (1) beyond embarrassing and (2) because you've been so worried about the image of your program, when it's time to fix the substance of your program, you don't know how to do it.
In the moment of truth this season, after losing to Iowa State, Mack blasted his coordinators with a tone of, "I'm ready. I'm doing my job. But this is how you all do me?"
How could that not leave some of the staff cold? It's one thing to identify the problem. But where are the solutions? And what if Mack was as much a part of the problem as anyone else? When a coach is coming at the players from a point of style over substance in a time of crisis, the players pick up on that and start to check out.
Where was Mack Brown saying to his staff, "We are all in this together. Here's how we are going to get it figured out. I apologize if I've put too much time and emphasis elsewhere. Let's roll up our sleeves."
Instead, it came off as YOU get this fixed or else.
Talk about entitlement.
That's why there is very good reason to believe if Will Muschamp and a guy like Major Applewhite, both of whom have coached for Nick Saban and understand the constant edge that needs to be in a program, aren't on board with what Mack Brown ultimately comes up with for his new staff, there could more fallout.
3. Orangebloods.com has learned Florida is making efforts to gauge the interest of Will Muschamp as it prepares to find a successor for Urban Meyer. Miami has done the same.
Is Muschamp the first choice at Florida? No. Was Pete Carroll the first choice at USC? No.
So things can develop, turn left, turn right.
That's why Mack Brown's every move right now is so critical to the future of the Longhorns' program. I still think Mack believes Will Muschamp is the right guy to be coach-in-waiting at Texas. But does Will Muschamp still believe Mack Brown is the right guy to be heading the UT program based on everything that just happened in 2010?
Mack's decisions on these hires will probably go a long way in convincing Muschamp either way.
And how long would Muschamp be willing to hang around if he sees some hires being made that don't take on more of the edgy personality Muschamp was used to under Saban? And how long would he be willing to stay if the coaches hired start to become watered down by the image-conscious CEO attitude of Mack Brown?
At some point you have to be who you are. Muschamp is a guy who preaches a blue collar, overachieving attitude. That's who he is.
It's reasonable to conclude Mack Brown lost his fastball when it comes to connecting with the players this past season. Nothing he said or did worked. Texas lost seven of its last nine. If Mack thinks this was all his assistant coaches' fault, he probably needs to hire a new consulting firm.
The bottom line is Mack has to find new staff members who can put an edge into this team, especially on offense, the same way Muschamp did on defense in 2008. Mack knows that.
As Jim Harbaugh gets questions about if he'll still be at Stanford next year, he keeps referring to a sign his dad (longtime coach Jack Harbaugh) had over his office that Jim now has as well. It says, "Just Coach The Team." And don't worry about everything else.
Muschamp has a saying: "Remove the clutter." (It's a Saban saying.)
At times, he has to wonder if Mack Brown shares that philosophy when the Cleve Bryant drama is playing out as Cleve, the director of football operations, and his wife, Jean, an academic adviser in the football program, are still collecting checks while on paid leave.
The questions about if Jeff "Mad Dog" Madden is the right guy to be leading the players through the off-season are being asked because that coach spends more time with players than any other coach on staff. When the position coaches are barred from contact with the players through the summer, the strength and conditioning coach is with them.
Does Madden have the edge it takes to get this team back on track? It's not just about workout programs and explosive power, it's about attitude.
Championships are built in the off-season. The 2005 title run was built by VY putting on the grease board, things like whoever wants to beat Ohio State will be here at 5 pm today.
So these hires over the next two to three weeks will undoubtedly have a lot to say about Mack Brown's final impression at Texas.
Mack has written a handbook on how to build a program that he put together for high school coaches. How comfortable would he be in making a bunch of changes at the suggestion of guys like Muschamp and Applewhite?
Mack has never been afraid to bring smart guys into the room. It's one of his greatest strengths. There is a great saying, A's hire A's and B's hire C's. Mack is an A who has hired A's.
These hires could also determine if Will Muschamp stays or goes, depending on how the job situation at other schools (Florida and Miami right now) are looking in that time frame.
Are Texas fans worried about Muschamp becoming disenfranchised under Mack? Or do they still trust Mack to push all the right buttons in this rebuild and hire Muschamp's replacement if that's what it comes to?
Because that's what it is - a rebuild. It can be a quick rebuild or a long one. But it's a rebuild.
4. Texas has missed horribly in recruiting on the offensive line and at running back and lacks proven depth at defensive tackle.
Unless Texas starts getting a better evaluation of those players, it might not matter who is coaching them. Texas not having a single offensive player on the first or second team All Big 12 team for the first time in league history this season? That's a joke, when UT often picks players rather than recruits them.
That's an underrated part of the problem Texas is suffering from right now - player evaluations. The Longhorns tend to recruit measurables, much like the NFL when it comes to the draft. But UT has allowed some great talent in Texas to flourish elsewhere. (Andrew Luck, LaMichael James, Jacquizz Rodgers, Christine Michael, offensive linemen, etc.)
The evaluations in recruiting have to be better, especially in the trenches. That's why it's a young man's game, getting out on the road and getting great evaluations. That's why Nick Saban is always hiring young guys and using all of their youthful passion to his advantage.
Saban is confident enough to know he can flat out coach. So he wants young guys he can teach and who have the youthful energy to outwork everyone else.
Mack Brown initially had the exact opposite approach at Texas. He hired a bunch of former coordinators with a ton of experience to come in. And that staff got its head kicked in by Bob Stoops for five straight years before Mack started to change that staff.
And even the coaches being let go right now at Texas are all closer to 60 than 30. The majority of Saban's staff is closer to 30 than 60. Saban learned that from Bill Belichick when the two were together in Cleveland. Heck, Saban was a young coach when Belichick hired him.
A&M dumped 66-year-old Joe Kines last season and brought in 47-year-old Tim DeRuyter from Air Force. A&M's defense turned completely around.
We know it can happen.
5. Where is Mack Brown's heart right now?
Is it in rebuild mode? Is it in getting back into the mindset he was in back in 1989, when he had his last losing season? Mack Brown has said himself he never thought he would have another season like 2010. He thought his losing seasons were behind him.
Mack even said he called some of his former North Carolina players from back in his early, struggling years to figure out what it was that helped them go from a loser to a perennial winner in the early 1990s.
But what does that even say? That Mack is now having to call guys who are 40 years old to see if they remember what it was 20 years ago that Mack said or did to help turn that North Carolina program around?
I know these thoughts seem be directed harshly at Mack Brown, but Rick Barnes always says, "You need truth tellers in your life."
And the bottom line is Mack Brown has staff members ready to go to war. But the way Mack handled everything in 2010 has everyone wondering if Mack's heart is still in the game of coaching or if he's already more about enjoying the fruits of what he's built?
There's no question Mack thought he was going to win the national title in 2009. I was standing there when Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com said to Mack after the game, "We'll never know how it would have turned out if Colt stayed in the game." Mack snapped, "It wouldn't have been close."
That game could haunt Mack forever. He's convinced Texas was going to win, and then he's got 2 national titles, one more than all the guys who, at times, made his life miserable coaching on the way up. Guys like Steve Spurrier and Bob Stoops.
Mack was this close to winning that second national title and maybe walking off into the sunset. But at this very moment, with three hires to make (and possibly more), it probably seems like he is from here to the sun from winning another national title. Mack doesn't want to be an old coach. He's 59. I think he's enamored with doing television.
Where is his heart? If it's not in the rebuild, he should turn it over to Muschamp and go do TV. If Mack thinks he can just oversee the new hires without taking a look at how his staff needs consistency in accountability and some changes in the way UT recruits, his heart may not be in the rebuild.
And if Mack's heart is not in the rebuild, Muschamp will sense it and probably move on at his first opportunity, anyway.
These hires will go a long way in telling the staff and players if Mack's heart is in the rebuild.

Gold eased on Friday, as the dollar rebounded and investors booked profits after four days of gains, putting it on track for its biggest weekly gain in nearly two years on easing fears of an early end to the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary stimulus.
Continue Reading Below
Bullion had taken a beating after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said in May and June that the U.S. economy was recovering strongly enough to slow the pace of the $85 billion of monthly bond purchases.
The tapering would support a rise in interest rates and bolster the dollar, reducing gold's attractiveness.
But the tone of the central banker's language became more doveish on Wednesday, when he suggested the bond purchases could last longer. And minutes from a June Fed meeting showed officials were divided over when to end the stimulus.
Spot gold fell 0.6 percent to $1,276.71 an ounce by 1006 GMT. Bullion has gained close to 5 percent this week, on course for its biggest weekly climb since October 2011, after hitting a near-three week high of $1,298.36 on Thursday. Analysts said the metal now faces strong resistance crossing the $1,300 level, while support stands at $1,270.
Comex gold futures for August delivery also retreated from a two-and-a-half week high near $1,300 hit in the previous session to $1,275.50 an ounce, down $4.40.

"We are certainly seeing some profit-taking and some strength in the dollar today," VTB Capital analyst Andrey Kryuchenkov said.
"We may remain rangebound below $1,300 for the time being because there are no crucial macro events in the next few weeks and we remain unclear on QE3 (the current round of bond buying stimulus)."
The dollar reclaimed some lost ground after falling for most of the week, while European shares were also heading for multi-month weekly gains.
"Stock markets are strong and that seems to be where the money is going and quite frankly, trying to make an argument to get into precious metals at the moment is fairly hard," Marex Spectron chief trader David Govett said in a note.
Many still expect gold to end lower this year as investors jump to rallying stocks, dumping holdings in gold-backed exchange traded funds, and physical demand slows as refineries start shutting for house-keeping during the summer.
"Sentiment has not changed towards gold and investors are still reluctant to step in, while physical buyers remain sidelined," Kryuchenkov said.
Holdings of the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund SPDR Gold Trust remained unchanged at four-and-a-half year lows of 30.192 million ounces on Thursday. The fund posted the biggest weekly loss of 2.6 percent since the end of April.
Investors pulled $998.8 million from commodities and precious metals funds, up from withdrawals of $92.6 million in the prior week, data from Thomson Reuters' Lipper service showed on Thursday.
Silver fell 1.4 percent to $19.81 an ounce, having reached a three-week high of $20.26 on Thursday. Platinum was down 0.2 percent to $1,401.99 an ounce and palladium gained 0.1 percent to $717.22 an ounce. (Additional reporting by A. Ananthalakshmi in Singapore; editing by Keiron Henderson)

Constant Current LED Strip (10-15vdc)
Product Description
Constant Current LED Strip is the preferred choice for professional installations.
The best quality available in the U.K, if not Europe
Available in a continuous length up to 10 Meters
The way in which the current and voltage are regulated to the LEDs makes a lifetime beyond 50,000 hours possible. Standard LED Strips only have voltage regulation via 1 or 2 resistors.
3 Year Warranty
The on-board transistors regulate the current and voltage to each LED. This ensures even brightness along the entire length and protects the LEDs from excessive current and voltage which could cause them to overheat, this results in a much longer lifetime than standard LED Strip with very little deterioration in brightness over time.
As with our other LED Strips this Regulated Current Strip can be powered from our standard 12vdc Power Supplies (Transformers).
There are cutting points at every LED (33mm). Each LED is in effect it's own circuit.
Where required the Strip can be cut as short as a single LED or can be run to a maximum length of 10 Meters with a power draw of just 36 watts.
The LED Strip can be cut into the necessary lengths and wires can be soldered from one length of strip to another for installations in cabinets, shelves and the like. This is a much neater way of running the LED Strip so that only one length of cable is run to one power supply.
It can be dimmed either on the 12v input side to the Strip or by using one of our Mains Dimmable Transformers (below) which makes it possible to use a wall dimmer to control the brightness of the LED Strip. We recommend an LED Wall Dimmer such as the Varilight V-Pro (available below).
Available in White (6000k) or Warm White (3500k).
The White produces a cool white near to that of a computer display, it is ideal for use where a clean modern look is desired.
Warm White closely matches that of Halogens and is in keeping with most home lighting for living rooms and areas of relaxation.
Regulated Current and Voltage LED Strip is compatible with our Aluminium Profiles allowing you to custom make your lighting fixture to your exact requirements.
Below is a selection of the Power Supplies or Transformers for the LED Strip.
Choose the appropriate Power Supplies:
1A Power Supply - runs up to 3 Meters of LED Strip.
2A Power Supply - runs up to 6 Meters of LED Strip.
3A Power Supply - runs up to 9 Meters of LED Strip.
5A Power Supply - runs up to 15 Meters of LED Strip.

María de Villota died this morning in Spain.
FIA expresses sincere condolences to family of María de Villota
The FIA family today comes together to express its sincere condolences to the family of María de Villota, who passed away this morning in Spain.
FIA President Jean Todt said: "Today is a tragic day for motor sport. My deepest condolences go to the de Villota family. María was a fantastic driver, a leading light for women in motor sport and a tireless campaigner for road safety.
"Above all she was a friend I deeply admired," he added. "Through her courage, strength and determination she transformed her personal misfortune on the track into a powerful message for road safety that was heard at race tracks and beyond around the world. María was a beloved member of the FIA family. Our thoughts go to her family today."

I was discussing the notion of spiritual warfare, technology and the Akashic Records (which some say is demonic) with my partner and he told me about "astral spiders", which freaked me out so much I thought he was doing it on purpose, but when I googled, I found he was not making it up.
People claim to be sleeping or in between sleep and wakefulness, while watching these huge spiders of abnormal size crawl around their beds, glide down over their heads from webs and so on. By big—sizes ranging from fat puppy size to smaller.
At times they see smaller ones but it is usually the bigger ones that cause them the greatest shock and fright. It is usually scary enough to snap them out of the twilight completely, where the spiders are then gone.
They supposedly live in the infrastructure of the internet and occasionally escape. The first concern is that hostile astral forces could make use of the "mind" of the Internet by essentially incarnating into it. The second concern is that the technology would become cognizant of itself and turn on humanity.
Then I found that Google wants to index our DNA (article at link). Could it be that the spiders that crawl the net crawl us as well?
Have any of you seen these?

The Day Ahead: Automatic Tuesdays
I fielded several calls on the positive insanity that has broken out on Tuesdays. Clients just don't get it and, hey, neither did I until I sat down over the long weekend and pondered the subject.
There is surprisingly next to no analysis being published on the "Turnaround Tuesday" topic, only shock-and-awe comments -- and naturally, the streak stat that causes everyone's head to shake in utter amazement. I wanted to put forth a trial run explanation for Automatic Tuesday, which may continue for the foreseeable future given a structural force in the marketplace: the Federal Reserve.

Reprinted from The Jewish Religion: A Companion, published by Oxford University Press.
Eleazar Azikri was a Safed kabbalist (1533-1600). He was the author of Sefer Haredim (The Book of the Godfearers), in which the precepts are given an original classification corresponding to the various organs and limbs of the body with which they are carried out.
In his introduction to the book, Azikri draws up 17 necessary conditions for a precept to be performed in the ideal manner; among them that it should be carried out with proper intention to do God's will; that it should not be half done or in a halfhearted manner but with joy in the service of God; that it should be carried out by the worshipper himself and not delegated to others; and that, wherever possible, it should be carried out in the company of other worshippers.
Azikri's poem of mystical yearning, Yedid Nefesh, is very popular and has been incorporated into many prayer books.

Two struggling clubs put up for sale
Two struggling golf courses have been put up for sale as new data suggests that the industry is in recovery.
Hounslow Heath Golf Club in London has been put up for sale or to let, and comes with planning permission for the redevelopment of the clubhouse.
The venue is in need of improvement, but a spokesman for the agent handling the sale said that interest has been strong due to its location.
Ben Allen of GVA Hotel and Leisure, said: "Hounslow Heath is an exceptionally well located golf property. Whilst the current facilities are well below the standard required by the modern day golfer, the planning permission that has been granted for the facility, coupled with the London Borough of Hounslow's flexibility over the future use of the property – be that an 18 hole facility or nine-hole course with supporting activities – mean that this opportunity will undoubtedly appeal to a wide range of leisure operators. We have received a very encouraging level of early interest in the property."
GVA Hotels and Leisure is also selling The Grange & Links Hotel and Golf Club in Lincolnshire.
The 18-hole links golf course, which was placed in administration recently, is a par 70, 6,021 yard links course dating back to 1901 with excellent coastal views.
The decision to place these two properties on the market comes as Sinead Heraty, chief executive of the Irish Ladies' Golf Union, has said that golf industry in Ireland, which has been badly hit by the recession, may now be in recovery.
She said the number of golfers that have given up the game has stabilised in the last year after several years of large drops, and that the number of programmes encouraging younger golfers to play the game have been encouraging.
"There are definite green shoots," she said.

Player of the Year Casey Turgeon, So., Dunedin
The shortstop nonpareil makes spectacular plays on sure base hits. He has a knack for popping up from who-knows-where to backhand the ball and whip it to first. Turgeon also is pretty good at the plate, hitting .432 and leading the county in home runs (six) and runs scored (36).
Most impressive accomplishment: Turgeon, a patient hitter, drew 37 walks and had an on-base percentage of .647. Those numbers proved even more valuable when he was moved to the leadoff spot to help ignite a 10-game win streak at the end of the year.
Did you know? Turgeon's older brother, Erik, played at Dunedin before going to UConn. Erik was drafted in the 25th round by the New York Mets last year.
Future plans: Turgeon will continue to play baseball with travel teams this summer and might even pitch a few innings at the high school level next season.
Pitcher of the Year Taylor Layner, So., Osceola
When Layner was on the mound, opponents usually took a seat. He was the most dominant pitcher in Pinellas, tying two other pitchers in the county for most wins with eight and leading the county in strikeouts with 91 and ERA at 0.83. He also pitched the biggest games, beating Seminole twice and East Lake once.
Most impressive accomplishment: Layner was just as impressive at the plate, hitting .404 and finishing second in the county with 31 RBIs and third in home runs with three. In the first win against Seminole, Layner scored the winning run in extra innings.
Did you know? At 5 feet, 6 inches, Layner is the shortest among the first-team all-county pitchers by at least 4 inches.
Future plans: Layner will continue to play with an all-star AAU team this offseason.
First team
P Zach Olson, Sr., Clearwater Central Catholic: Marauders' ace went 6-2 with 2.28 ERA
P Ryan Reedy, Sr., Dunedin: Was 5-0 for Falcons with 1.46 ERA
P Winston Rivas, Sr., Osceola: Workhorse on mound was 8-3 with 67 Ks
P Justin Tedder, So., St. Petersburg Catholic: Was 8-2 and second in county in Ks (78)
C Todd Haskel, Sr., Dunedin: FACA all-star hit .417
IF Mike Martello, Sr., Seminole: HCC recruit hit team-high .438
IF Ryan Allen, Jr., Tarpon Springs: Solid defender hit .373
IF Cody Arnold, Jr., Pinellas Park: Patriots' leading hitter at .402
IF Spencer Wilson, Sr., Countryside: FACA all-star hit 10 doubles
OF Bobby Woods, Sr., Tarpon Springs: Led public schools with .512 avg.
OF Danny Murray, So., Palm Harbor University: Led the Hurricanes with .467 avg.
OF Clarence Wilson, Jr., St. Petersburg: Hit .435 in county's toughest district
UT Alex Norris, Jr., Dunedin: He was 6-2 on mound, .425 at the plate
DH Jerrod Flanagan, So., Northeast: Hit .450 with county-leading 14 doubles
Coach of the Year Tom Hilbert, Dunedin
The Falcons lost eight starters to graduation from last year's team that won the Class 5A state title. And Dunedin didn't miss a beat, winning conference and district titles before losing to Jesuit in the 5A region quarterfinals. Much of that credit goes to Hilbert, who made the right moves late in the season.
Second team
P Tim Lamoureux, Jr., Seminole; P Donny Norris, Sr., Pinellas Park; P Tommy Organ, Sr., Tarpon Springs; P Alex Young, Sr., Tarpon Springs; C Craig Schafer, Sr., Osceola; IF Zander Devlin, Sr., SP Catholic; IF Mike Clarkson, So., Dunedin; IF T.J. Glessner, Jr., Osceola; IF Zach Sobel, Sr., Palm Harbor U.; OF Mike Boriboun, Sr., Osceola; OF Mike Carlin, Sr., Seminole; OF Lincoln Dunham, Sr., East Lake; UT Nick Franz, Jr., East Lake; DH David Edwards, Sr., Northside Christian
