Lower crustal H2O controls on the formation of adakitic melts
G.F. Zellmer et al., Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica, 128 Academia Road Section 2, Nankang, Taipei 11529, Taiwan, and Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, 61 Route 9W, Palisades, New York 10964, USA. Posted online ahead of print 10 April 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32912.1.
G.F. Zellmer and colleagues study mafic volcanics from the SW Japan arc and show that they indicate constant lower crustal temperatures (about 1080 deg. Celsius) but variable water contents (about 2-6 wt%). As water contents in the mafic melts decrease northeastward, Sr/Y ratios in spatially associated intermediate melts increase; i.e. the intermediate rocks become adakitic in composition. Our data indicate that adakites in SW Japan are not related to melting of an eclogitic subducting slab at unusually high temperatures, but instead to melt evolution in the lower overriding crust in the presence of residual garnet, the stability of which increases as water contents of parental melts decrease. Lower crustal melt evolution at reduced water contents likely represent a unifying process for generating adakitic signatures in all tectonic settings that have previously been considered to enhance slab melting (subduction of young slabs, shallow subduction, or subduction of slab edges or windows). The results presented here by Zellmer and colleagues demonstrate that magmatic water plays a key role in the differentiation of arc magmas in modern and ancient subduction settings.
Stromatolite lamination frequency, Walker Lake, Nevada: Implications for stromatolites as biosignatures
Victoria A. Petryshyn et al., Dept. of Earth Sciences, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90089, USA. Posted online ahead of print 10 April 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32675.1.
Lamination in stromatolites (considered some of the oldest fossils on Earth) is commonly interpreted to record the periodic response of a microbial community to daily, seasonal, or perhaps yearly environmental forcing. This study by Victoria A. Petryshyn and colleagues uses high-resolution carbon-14 dating of Holocene stromatolites from Walker Lake (Nevada, USA) to construct a record of lamination rate over the course of accretion. The stromatolite lamination rates are found to form on a variable, multi-year time scale that closely tracks lake level and local climate factors (e.g., El Niño Southern Oscillation), suggesting that climate and lake geochemistry had a larger influence on lamination formation than did microbial communities. While it is clear that some modern and ancient stromatolites are built in response to a microbial-paced forcing, this study demonstrates that caution must be used when interpreting the meaning of stromatolites and stromatolitic lamination, especially with respect to ancient Earth.
Methane seeps as ammonite habitats in the U.S. Western Interior Seaway revealed by isotopic analyses of well-preserved shell material
Neil H. Landman et al., American Museum of Natural History, Division of Paleontology (Invertebrates), New York, New York 10024, USA. Posted online ahead of print 10 April 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32782.1.
Ammonites are an important component of the marine biota during the Cretaceous. They are abundant at cold methane seeps, but their role in seep ecosystems is unknown. Neil H. Landman of the American Museum of Natural History and colleagues explore a seep from the Upper Cretaceous Pierre Shale of southwestern South Dakota that contains original shell material, allowing them to investigate the isotopic composition of the ammonite shells. The ammonites consistently display light values of delta-13C ranging to approx. 14 parts per mil. In specimens sampled along the shell, light values occur throughout ontogeny. These values are generally lighter than those in non-seep specimens from age-equivalent rocks elsewhere in the basin and suggest that ammonites incorporated isotopically light methane-derived carbon in their shells because they lived in close proximity to the vent fluids and methane-oxidizing bacteria. Thus, even though they were mobile animals, ammonites were not transient visitors but long-term residents. In addition, the values of 87Sr/86Sr in the limestone and well-preserved fossils at the seep are higher than that of the open ocean at that time. These elevated values suggest that the seep fluids were imprinted with a radiogenic Sr signature, perhaps derived from equilibration with granitic deposits at depth during the initial uplift of the Black Hills.
Storm and fair-weather wave base: A relevant distinction?
Shanan E. Peters and Dylan P. Loss, Dept. of Geoscience, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, USA. Posted online ahead of print 10 April 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32791.1.
Wind-generated surface waves are an important mechanism for coastal erosion and the redistribution of sediment on shallow marine shelves and are commonly portrayed as comprising two distinct size classes: fair-weather waves and larger storm waves. Here, Shanan E. Peters and Dylan P. Loss combine more than two million observations of wave sizes taken over 12 years from 32 NOAA buoys located in the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the western Atlantic to characterize wave sizes in the modern ocean. They find no evidence for two distinct types of waves subdivided by wave size. Instead, there is evidence for significant geographic variability in wave size, with locations in the relatively protected Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean regions having waves about 50 m smaller in wavelength than locations in the western Atlantic. Time-integrated estimates of wave size provide empirical constraints on the paleo-water depths of ancient sedimentary deposits and highlight differences between sheltered shelf environments, such as those that characterized many ancient seas, and open-ocean-facing, narrow continental shelves, such as those that predominate today.
Oxygen isotopic evidence for Late Triassic monsoonal upwelling in the northwestern Tethys
M. Rigo et al., Dept. of Geosciences, University of Padova, Via Gradenigo 6, 35131 Padua, Italy. Posted online 10 April 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32792.1.
M. Rigo and colleagues use the oxygen isotopic composition of conodonts from the Sicani Basin (Sicily, Italy), on the northwestern Tethys margin, to reconstruct regional paleo-seawater conditions. Values determined by sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP II) are consistent with previously published data from the contemporaneous marginal Hallstatt-Meliata Basin, located farther north, but are distinctly higher than those previously reported from the open ocean setting of the nearby Lagonegro Basin. The ~2 parts per mil offset represents a temperature differential of about 8 deg. Celsius, suggesting that sea surface temperatures along the northwestern margin (Sicani and Hallstatt Meliata basins) of the Tethys Ocean were lower than in the open ocean (Lagonegro Basin) during the lower part of Late Triassic. The cooler waters of the marginal basins have been interpreted to reflect coastal upwelling driven by strong monsoonal systems, found in existing paleoclimate models for the region.
Convection of North Pacific deep water during the early Cenozoic
Ashley M. Hague et al., Texas A&M University, Dept. of Oceanography, MS 3146, College Station, Texas 77843-3146, USA. Posted online ahead of print 10 April 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32886.1.
The ocean's deep-water (or "meridional overturning circulation" [MOC]), contributes significantly to transport of heat and nutrients and ventilation of the deep oceans, and is a crucial component of the climate system. In the modern mode, deep-water formation occurs in the North Atlantic as well as near Antarctica. However, a different mode likely operated during warm intervals of the past. The hypothesized modes of MOC include those characterized by high latitude Pacific sources, sinking of warm and salty waters in the subtropics, or widespread mixing across an overall weaker thermocline. Thus, determining how the deep ocean basins were ventilated in the past is necessary to address the role of deep-ocean circulation during fundamentally warm climate states. New proxy data, presented here by Ashley M. Hague and colleagues, from the North Pacific spanning the Late Cretaceous-Paleogene (~70-30 million years ago) combined with the results of coupled climate model simulations reveal a circulation mode characterized by deep convection in the North Pacific, and possibly the South Pacific. Convection in both regions was most intense during the relatively "cool" portion of the Late Cretaceous and Early Paleocene and waned with the approach of the peak global warmth of the Early Eocene (~52 million years ago).
No causal link between terrestrial ecosystem change and methane release during the end-Triassic mass extinction
Sofie Lindström et al., GEUS (Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland), Øster Voldgade 10, DK-1350 Copenhagen K, Denmark. Posted online ahead of print 10 April 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32928.1.
The end-Triassic mass extinction event (201 million years ago) severely affected animals and plants both in the sea and on land. Carbon isotope records across the Triassic-Jurassic (T/J) boundary show at least two prominent negative peaks interpreted to reflect injection of light carbon to the atmosphere, either from massive volcanic emissions of carbon dioxide or from release of methane through contact metamorphism during the initial stages of the breakup of the supercontinent Pangea. In particular, the most prominent negative carbon isotope peak has been suggested as the trigger of the end-Triassic event. Sofie Lindström and colleagues present a new, extended organic carbon isotope record across the T/J boundary in the Danish Basin, which correlates with reference records from the UK, providing new evidence that the major biotic changes, both on land and in the oceans, commenced prior to the most prominent negative carbon isotope excursion. If massive methane release was involved, it did not trigger the end-Triassic mass extinction, at least not on land. Instead, the highest negative C-isotope excursion is contemporaneous with the onset of floral recovery on land, whereas marine ecosystems remained disturbed for millions of years after the event.
Hf-Nd isotope variation in Mariana Trough basalts: The importance of "ambient mantle" in the interpretation of subduction zone magmas
Jon Woodhead et al., School of Earth Sciences, University of Melbourne, Parkville VIC 3010, Australia. Posted online ahead of print 10 April 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32963.1.
Defining the magnitude and nature of the elemental mass transfers occurring during the subduction process is a key component in our aspiration to understand the geochemical evolution of the planet itself. In this study, Jon Woodhead and colleagues explore a potential new tool for such investigations. By analyzing the isotopic composition of the chemically immobile elements Hf and Nd in basalts from the Mariana Trough back-arc basin, they are able to define the "ambient mantle" composition. This baseline then forms a starting point from which to interpret the many and varied volcanic products of the Mariana Arc itself, ranging from depleted tholeiites to highly enriched shoshonites. While much research to date has concentrated on the influence of the subducting slab assemblage in controlling the composition of arc magmas, this study highlights the equally important role played by Earth's mantle in this process.
The invisible hand: Tectonic triggering and modulation of a rhyolitic supereruption
Aidan S.R. Allan et al., School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, P.O. Box 600, Wellington 6140, New Zealand. Posted online ahead of print 10 April 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32969.1.
Sorting out what happens during prehistoric volcanic eruptions on timescales relevant to modern society is challenging due to the limits of what can be understood from the geological record. Discovery of minor volumes of "foreign" magma in early eruption deposits shows that the outbreak of the world's youngest super-eruption (the Oruanui eruption, Taupo volcano, New Zealand, 27 thousand years ago) was intimately controlled by tectonic stresses. Chemical fingerprinting of that foreign magma shows that it came from an independent magmatic system some 10-15 km away, yet it was erupted at Taupo volcano from the same vent as the early Oruanui magma. Eruption was triggered by a rifting-related event that unclamped faults above the magma chambers and diverted the foreign magma laterally to collide with the evacuating Oruanui magma. Relaxation of stresses associated with the rifting event then led to premature shutdown of explosive activity for some months, despite only a trivial volume of magma being released. Renewed rifting then restarted the eruption, again with the two magmas. Tectonics played a crucial role in controlling the onset and vigor of this large eruption and, because of its invisibility, the role of tectonics may currently be under-recognized in many other eruptions.
Origin of contrasting Devonian supradetachment basin types in the Scandinavian Caledonides
Vegard V. Vetti and Haakon Fossen, Dept. of Earth Science, University of Bergen, Postboks 7803, 5020 Bergen, Norway. Posted online ahead of print 10 April 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32512.1.
Extensional detachments (faults) in collapsing orogens tend to generate strongly asymmetric sedimentary basins with beds dipping against the tectonic transport direction, in fault contact with the low-angle detachment. A series of such basins occur in the SW Norway Caledonides atop a W-dipping detachment zone. One of these Devonian basins shows consistently E-dipping beds that rest unconformably on the substrate over a lateral distance of more than 11 km. Restoring everything by rigid rotation gives a very steep and ~10 km tall paleoslope, which is clearly unrealistic. Instead, Vegard V. Vetti and Haakon Fossen explain these peculiar unconformable relations by deposition in a hanging-wall ramp basin that opens due to ~10-km-tall ramp in the underlying detachment. Forward modeling of this situation shows that the model is realistic. The authors suggest that this model has application to other sedimentary basins associated with detachments.
Fluid-mineral reactions and trace metal mobilization in an exhumed natural CO2 reservoir, Green River, Utah
Max Wigley et al., Dept. of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EQ, UK. Posted online ahead of print 10 April 2012; doi: 10.1130/G32946.1.
Natural CO2 reservoirs are an important tool for understanding the long-term processes that will occur in geological carbon storage sites. Max Wigley and colleagues show that an area of alteration near the town of Green River, Utah (United States), where originally red sandstones have been bleached white, is due to a CO2-bearing fluid. Reactions between the CO2 and the rock have resulted in growth of secondary carbonate minerals, and there is a zone of increased secondary mineral growth at the CO2-promoted reaction front. This is similar to predictions made using simple modeling techniques. The CO2-bearing fluid has also mobilized trace metals from the formation and deposited them in high concentrations at the reaction front. This area of alteration can be used as an analogue for processes in geological carbon capture and storage reservoirs. Trace metals mobilized by injected CO2 are likely to be rapidly redeposited.

Ray Lewis is clearly a driving force — perhaps the driving force — for the Ravens, who stormed to back-to-back road playoff victories to advance to Super Bowl XLVII. Lewis also played a role in helping Antrel Rolle acclimate to the Giants and grow into a leader of last season's Super Bowl run.
Rolle arrived in 2010 and bristled at the way the Giants do business — especially how Tom Coughlin runs his team. There were frustrated comments from Rolle, and it appeared as if the safety and coach were headed toward a real confrontation. Rolle cooled off, though, and he says he might have overheated if not for Lewis' advice.
Like Lewis, Rolle is a product of the University of Miami, though Lewis was gone before Rolle ever played for the Hurricanes. Rolle did not know how to deal with Coughlin, so one day he dialed up Lewis.
"I asked him how should I handle the situation,'' Rolle said yesterday on WFAN. "I was like, 'It's extremely difficult for me, I'm not used to this,' and so forth and so on. We had an hourlong conversation just about life, he was telling me how I should approach the situation, how I should be able to deal with Coach Coughlin but still get some things across. He helped me out a lot. I listened to what he said and it helped me out a lot.
"If you have never been around Ray Lewis, he's probably the most humble individual and real individual you're ever going to be around. That's just the reality of it.''
Rolle spent the first five years of his career with the Cardinals, and it took him time to accept Coughlin's coaching methods. In Week 2 in 2010, the Giants lost 38-14 in Indianapolis as Peyton Manning bested younger brother Eli.
It was Rolle's first regular-season road trip with the Giants, and afterward he blasted Coughlin's schedule, insisting getting to the stadium more than three hours before kickoff made the Giants "sluggish.'' Rolle later complained about Coughlin's "controlled'' environment and said he felt the atmosphere around the team was "too uptight.''
"I had an issue with me dealing with some things, more so my own personal issues,'' Rolle recalled. "Coach Coughlin and myself have never had an exchange of words or anything close to it, never even had a bad eye towards one another. I'm sure he probably wanted to curse me out at times, but it never crossed that line.''
Rolle credits Lewis for helping him replace his frustration with a greater understanding of Coughlin's methods.
"More than the [Miami] thing, I think it's someone who has been through it all,'' Rolle said of why he reached out to Lewis. "No matter what adversity or what Ray had to overcome, I think he's overcome it, and I think that's what it boiled down to. It boiled down to me going to someone I can consider a mentor, someone I know is going to give it to me straight. Someone who is going to tell me something I need to hear as opposed to something I wanted to hear.
"And he told me exactly what I needed to hear, and from that day on, I never, ever had an issue, never had any concerns. I can honestly say it is great. This is the best I've ever felt, and I am going to continue to stay on this path.''

What does this phrase mean, 'write what you know'? New writers are often baffled by it, and feel their creativity has been stomped on. Most of us have a regular life with average troubles and jobs that aren't the stuff of stories. And we want to write fiction to escape, explore, expand – so how do we do it?
Find your people in fiction
Great stories come from great characters. We might know a few people in real life with traits that are good story fodder, but not suitable wholesale. Most writers get inspired by characters they meet on the page – and especially in fiction.
In the UK at the moment there's a scandal about an eccentric disc jockey and charity worker. He died a year ago and now we're stunned to hear he's accused of indecent acts. An often heard remark is 'how could someone who did such immense good also do such evil'? Read some literature, though, and you'll know – very well – how it is possible for remarkable people to have extreme sides.
More than any other written medium, novels can give us a person stripped bare, scrutinised in three dimensions. We see how they behave with their friends, family, strangers, people they think will never see them again. We can peek at what goes through their heads when they're on their own. That's a level of honesty you don't even get in historical texts or biography. And you certainly don't get that access to the people you rub along with in real life.
Reading fiction gives you characters you're curious to understand, and that can guide who you're interested to write.
Find your plots in your obsessions
Some novels are written about normal, domestic lives. But many more are about characters in danger, or on the edges of society, or realms of the extreme and extraordinary. Have all those writers had racy, perilous lives? Most have not; their natural habitat is usually a desk, like you and me. (Or if they have been adventurers, the chances are they don't do the writing too.)
Ghostwriters, historical novelists, crime writers, fantasy and science fiction novelists are the living proof that you don't have to have to write what you have personally experienced. But what these writers are good at is thorough research, led by genuine interest, so they can inhabit these environments as though they were real.
Write what you know – don't let this stuffy phrase smother your imagination. Novels are not created by your daily life, but your inner life.
You're interested in certain kinds of people? That's who you 'know', on a writing level. You're interested in certain kinds of story, settings or time periods? There's what you know – or can know – well enough to write about.
Thanks for the pic H Koppdelaney

A company's after-tax income represents the net income after the firm has deducted all federal, state and local taxes owed. It also amounts to the disposable income a company has on hand.
The Census Bureau's Quarterly Financial Report (QFR), which was released in June, presents industry data based on information from about 11,000 corporations. The data comes from income and earnings statements, balance sheets and other records from manufacturers with assets of at least $250,000, the bureau said.
Other statistics come from companies with at least $50 million in assets in the categories of mining, wholesale trade, retail, professional and technical services, and information.

Alton Everett "Al" Foster
During the early morning of Saturday, February 9, 2013, in Nespelem, Washington, Alton Everett "Al" Foster, 89, took hold of his beloved Hazel's hand and together they walked to their eternal home.
Al began this life's journey in the Vancouver, BC, Canada, home of Robert Clayton and Edna Pearl (Chugg) Foster on August 13, 1923. Growing up in the Seattle, Washington, area, Al was a member of the Roman Catholic Church and served during World War II with the United States Army as a criminal investigator.
Al married Hazel Margaret Butler on November 9, 1960, and together they made their home on Manila Creek Road in Keller, Washington. A man of many talents who enjoyed a good day's work, Al served the members of the Colville Confederated Tribes as a tribal policeman and EMS/paramedic; he also worked for AMAX as a maintenance supervisor, for Foster Woodchips, as an iron worker with Local 14 out of Spokane, Washington and most recently as a gaming agent at the Colville Tribal Casino. Al was a smart alec who loved a good joke and spending time together with Hazel in the out-of-doors rock-hounding, panning for gold, camping, boating, hunting and fishing. Al also enjoyed trap shooting, working with the ranch animals and an avid collector of all kinds of things, but his greatest love was spending time with his grandchildren! His grand-daughter said, "To me, Grandpa Al was like a dad to me, always young and strong."
Al was predeceased by his beloved wife and soul mate of 52 years Hazel Foster on February 4, 2013, just five days prior to his own home-going; both of his parents; son Robert Alton Foster, brother Eugene Foster and sister Alethas Shields.

My MDD died a horrible death. One morning I went to boot up and got a black screen and no curser of any type. 28 seconds later, the main 120mm fan came on at a level I had never heard before, like a jet engine. The Gurus gave me a slew of tips. Tried them all with the same result. Jason at Giga offered to test my CPUs board. Rick and Jason collaborated to send me the Giga MDD upgrade. Still no go. Took the MDD to the local Apple Store Genius Bar, armed with my 3 year AppleCare, and the Genius Level 1 guy ran thru a whole series of tests while I watched. He concluded it was the logic board. Less than 24 hours later I received a call that the MDD was ready for pickup. Bill was just under $500, new version 3 mobo, my cost ZERO. AppleCare at $249 paid off very well. Both Rick and Jason were very kind and I bought the GigaBump.
What I had: MDD G4-1.25GHz DP dual boot, FW400, 167MHz bus shipped 09/25/2002.
Now: GigaBump MDD G4-1.42GHz DP
Some pics of the GigaBump MDD upgrade installation. I dumbed down the size and resolution of the pics to keep them small. Anyway...
Pic below shows what is inside the box. The foam packing inside is industrial strength. The CD is Drive 10 and has a serial number on the back side of the envelope. The power connectors can be used to connect the 120mm fan to the Giga board to allow the Giga to control and slow down the fan considerably. Instructions say that you do not have to do this, that you can leave the 120mm fan as OEM connected and I left it that way. Note also the two spacers in the plastic bag. They will be used later. The instructions are in color and on both sides of a heavy sheet.
Pic below is of the OEM heatsink. Note how tall it is. 2 of the 4 Phillips screws for removing it are at the bottom, the upper two are obsured by the fins. On the lower right, just that one screw, don't mess with any other screws on that assembly. Save the screws for later.
Pic below is the OEM CPU board. Between the two holes on the right you can see where the board connects to the mobo. Note the three silver spacers on the lower and upper left and the upper right. Those are where you unscrewed 3 of the 4 Phillips screws to remove the OEM heatsink. On the right, the entire assembly is still there. All that was removed was that 1 screw.
This pic below is the real key to the operation of removing the OEM CPU board and installing the GigaBump. Don't mess with the black rail on the left. It is a frame that either CPU board slides into and out of. Raise the opposite end of the board, the right side, to disconnect the board from the mobo. Then continue to raise the board while pulling toward the right. Note that I have already partially raised the board and disconnected it from the mobo and the board has already partially slid out of the black rail.
What could be easier. Following the instructions for the GigaBump, turn it over and remove the protective cap from the connector, then turn it right side up and spread apart those bracket fingers on the upper and lower right, angle the GigaBump right side up, slide it part way into the black rail and lower the GigaBump while continuing to slide left until the board contacts the mobo connector. Then once lowered and in the black rail all the way, push down on the right side of the assembly to mate the board with the mobo. You will hear and feel the the connection to the mobo is made. Those two spacers in the plastic bag slide over the OEM spacers on the left side. Screw the GigaBump down with the 4 screws you saved.
Just another view of the GigaBump. Note its much lower profile.
All of this is in the instructions. I did amplify somewhat on the CPU board removal and GigaBump installation. Big temptation to mess with the black rail or the other screws on the right side assembly.
The much lower profile of the upgrade allows much more air to pass from the 120mm fan, between the upgrade and the vertical double drive bay, and out the back. I also cannot hear the Giga fan. The entire inside, the PCI slot area, the CPU area, and the vertical and horizontal drive bays are all much cooler. What could be finer, a well engineered upgrade. k

I thought it was awesome that yet again a superfan is casted and he makes the critical super fan mistake..ADMITTING TO IT! well at least he brought up Jonathan Penner as one of the notable players because tonight i get to talk with him in a podcast!!There had to be a ton of TC footage left on that floor with cohran talking to save his :ass OHH and whats with this "call me this" to jeff... Jeff is the HOST he can call you what ever he wants! so now we have Cochran and Papa bear!! I was really rooting for Marc.. but that whole papa bear thing was him setting himself apart from the others with their real names. too freakin funny when Sehmar wrote COOCHRAN (coch-ran)
(Future ex-husband eh?)
I like Edna. And I like how Coach's being humble and everything. I'm glad he took it the hard way, because it seems to really humble him alot.ALSO, I feel that the first challenge between Ozzy and Coach was unfair right from the start and it seems like it was obvious who was going to win.The Immunity Challenge was great and showed great teamwork skills. I'm glad Blue Tribe won because Orange tribe... too dysfunctional and I... am not a fan of Ozzy.I like the personalities on Blue Tribe more and I hope they continue to do well. I think Lil Hantz has a good heart and he's one of my favourite as of now.Not bad for a premiere, but I've seen better premiere... but this was decent.
dont get me wrong with the nicknames.. i have a few myself.. i just think they should be known maybe before Tribal council! so probst doesnt look like an idiot.. he was like well ok.. what do you want me to call you?? and each time his face was hysterical! I think cohran has a hard battle ahead and may make some moves that wont be in his best interests in order to show he's not weak.. and we all know ther are alot of puzzle challenges so that may be a strength of his. who knows! Thats an interesting point you made squal about the ruling if all 3 people at the final part had to SHOOT the ball. I would send that off as a twitter question to probst.. im sure he would answer that in a heart beat! In fact i may just ask it tonight to Jonathan Penner if you dont mind I think JIm is going to make himself a target by being so vocal. and finally Hantz: well there's only so long as a man you can go without taking your shirt off. Im surprised he didnt have a better back up plan as to why he has that name on himself.. like maybe I'M NOT RELATED would work! with the previews it seems like Coach isnt to fond of being lied to by young hantz!!

Katy is a UK based oil painter from Yorkshire. Growing up she focused her skill toward ethereal portraits and detailed sketches, pursuing this throughout her educated life to the University of Lincoln. Katy began painting in a number of mediums including acrylic, watercolours and mixed media, often attending art events and fairs with her work. The positive reaction to Katy's wildlife work led to a large shift towards oil paints, discovering the rich tones and infinite textural possibilities oils soon became her medium of choice and a huge part of Katy's development as an artist.
Moving to portraiture, Katy worked on a series of iconic women, all eclectic in their abstract colour qualities, heavily embellished and adorned with tactile brush strokes. Katys admiration for elegance and richness of pallet moves her to create original oil paintings with a plethora of colour, and a blend of drama, harmony, presence and dissolve.

So many products, including the US$100 Roku Netflix box, come with wireless, so it was surprising that the US$300 Vudu broadband video-on-demand box requires a hard Ethernet connection. Today Vudu announces a US$80 Vudu-branded Ethernet-to-802.11g bridge kit built by Asus. I tried it over the weekend, and it worked great.
The dongle near the box powers itself directly from the Vudu's USB jack , meaning no extra power brick. The other end, near your router, does need to plug in, but that's less of a hassle. Best of all, it requires no on-screen configuration and works without any visible degradation when delivering high-bandwidth video. (I can't say the same for the Roku Netflix box, which choked a bit when I tested its built-in Wi-Fi.) Vudu will sell the kit with the video box itself for US$350—I think it's a wise addition, though this kit costs as much as the Netflix box in its entirety, and half of the price of an Apple TV. Clearly, a bridge is the most expensive way they could go, and you also have two more things to plug in. [Vudu]

What does makes you to buy a cell phone signal amplifier?
Well question is simple but I will like to elaborate the answer in my way because many people have many wrong ideas about the device called cell phone signal amplifier. You may call it cell phone booster, mobile signal booster, wifi signal booster, signal repeater or any of many more but do you know what it do for you? Yes you know, everyone knows it that it boosts the low signal strength to high signal strength. That was simple isn't it? Lol.. point I want to take it that what makes us to buy it?
We can wait for signals to get strong, we can go to good signal places or we can use friend's phone which might be getting high signals but question arises is that are these permanent solutions?
No, these are just for "time being" solutions to the problem of low signal coverage. Let's take few situations; I will try to explain few strange problems which use to be cause due to low signal problem.
Suppose you are driving to some remote place and you have to go through jungle area or mountain area where signals use to get week very often. You car breaks down or tire gets punctured or you lost your way, what will you do? First thing you will do is to look on your cell phone and call someone for help but what will you do if your cell phone will not be able to make proper call due to low signal strength? That's where cell phone booster for car helps, it boosts that low signal to full strength and always helps you in such dramatic situations.
Another scene, suppose you discussing a very important deal over cell phone and suddenly the signal gets at its lowest dip, what will you do? You will scream louder and louder hoping that other person may get your message and at the end you will cut the call and that may result in "lost deal". And if you have cell phone booster installed in your office or working area then you will never get low signal problem in your office and your business will not get affected due to low signal problem .

Loft with seventies style in Manhattan..If the glamor of New York today was told on the glossy pages of a magazine, Aaron Young and Laure Dubreuil Hériard could be the main characters. A story about love and background of success story, as only America knows still occur. He artist impeccable physical and undeniable talent, says the curves of the art market and gallery owners who have studied his work, Gagosian in mind. She, born French bubbly in the Rémy Martin family (yes, that cognac) that his teachers called "tropical plant" before it makes its classes at Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent can not follow up the sun 'Miami launching Webster, a luxury concept store nestled in an Art Deco building on Collins Avenue. It is at this latitude of the globe they met. In one of the countless nights in hotels along South Beach during high mass of Art Basel. Despite herself, she fell under his spell. Blame the American quarter of an hour? They did not specify.

The TLC254, TLC254A, TLC254B, TLC25L4, TLC254L4A, TLC254L4B, TLC25M4, TLC25M4A and TL25M4B are low-cost, low-power quad operational amplifiers designed to operate with single or dual supplies. These devices utilize the Texas Instruments silicon gate LinCMOSTM process, giving them stable input-offset voltages that are available in selected grades of 2, 5, or 10 mV maximum, very high input impedances, and extremely low input offset and bias currents. Because the input common-mode range extends to the negative rail and the power consumption is extremely low, this series is ideally suited for battery-powered or energy-conserving applications. The series offers operation down to a 1.4-V supply, is stable at unity gain, and has excellent noise characteristics.
These devices have internal electrostatic-discharge (ESD) protection circuits that prevent catastrophic failures at voltages up to 2000 V as tested under MIL-STD-883C, Method 3015.1. However, care should be exercised in handling these devices as exposure to ESD may result in degradation of the device parametric performance.
Because of the extremely high input impedance and low input bias and offset currents, applications for these devices include many areas that have previously been limited to BIFET and NFET product types. Any circuit using high-impedance elements and requiring small offset errors is a good candidate for cost-effective use of these devices. Many features associated with bipolar technology are available with LinCMOS operational amplifiers without the power penalties of traditional bipolar devices.
General applications such as transducer interfacing, analog calculations, amplifier blocks, active filters, and signal buffering are all easily designed with these devices. Remote and inaccessible equipment applications are possible using their low-voltage and low-power capabilities. These devices are well suited to solve the difficult problems associated with single-battery and solar-cell-powered applications. This series includes devices that are characterized for the commercial temperature range and are available in 14-pin plastic dip and the small-outline packages. The device is also available in chip form.
These devices are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
LinCMOS is a trademark of Texas Instruments.

We need to find a Rays Cartoonist!
6 Comments
Honestly, I only think a handful of guys are not on the hook right now. For sure Longoria,Zobrist,Price,Neimann,plus maybe Brignac and Rodriguez are safe,,,this year. If the Rays can turn a guy for a great pick-up…It will be done.
Since B J Upton still has a arbitration year, he has more upside than Crawford or Pena.
Going to be a fun couple of days until the end of the drama.
Still think the Phillies will not take BJ for Werth, but dumber things have happened before….
Rays Renegade
Cool! I had no idea such a thing existed. I feel ya… wish I had those skills myself. That sounds like a dream job actually.
You are right. It sounds like a perfect job, No more writing massive paragraphs or finding hidden story ideas. You would just do a one panel drawing on the game….Brilliant!
But, of course, you would have to have the talent to start it all….There goes reality again ruining my day.
Rays Renegade
I'm with Jeff….dream job! I'm a closet doodler. Shhh.
I am thinking there are a lot of these closet doodlers or artistic type out there who would love the job.
Personally, it would be great to capture the Rays moment in a single panel or image.
Photography can only do somuch toshow a player or fan's temperament….But a comic can transcend those lines.

Secondly, here is today's paper doll. She's my first "short run" paper doll in full color which is kinda exciting. I was inspired to do her in color thanks to the Pantone color trends prediction. Pantone is a company that, basically, makes inks, paints, plastics… anything which involves color. They are known for being able to reproduce the same color across multiple mediums through a numbered mixing system. This is all rather unimportant, but what is important is that every year they create a color trend prediction based on what they (and designers they talk with) think will be the big colors of the season.
All of the paper dolls clothing's colors come from the trend reports for Spring 2010 and Spring 2009. In some cases, I did lighten or darken colors slightly to allow for more contrast then was available through the colors as offered. And I do recommend downloading the PDF of this paper doll more then some others, since saving her for the web altered some of her colors.
Seriously, the Pantone website is like heaven for people who love color. And I do love color. I don't understand it very well, but I think it's awfully pretty.

From where I sit science is good but limited, it is good at studying things on the 'outside' but is lost when it comes to 'interior' things. For instance science can study the brain but is lost when it comes to the mind. The mind itself is just a 'black box' when it comes to empirical science. Science does not have direct access to thoughts, feelings, yearnings, desires, awareness and consciousness. Science assumes that all these things are functions of the brain but this cannot be proven.
Like I have suggested before, if you really want to get an idea what awareness and conscious are like, as far as the physical relationship to the human body, spend some time in a ward with alzheimers or other severly brain damaged people, go volunteer = )
It will change your outlook on life.
Just thought I'd check in and see not much has changed. Wonder if there will ever be an honest scientific debate here?
All I can say JustThis is, you must be a big fan of Descartes.
Meant to say I'll check back in a week or two to see if anyone has started talking science. See a couple of bona fide scientists have pulled out of the discussion. Wonder why. :D
BTW: JustThis, try reading some up-to-date neuroscience (preferably from the journals). Your OPINION is getting rapidly out of synch with what folks are studying.
Why look anywhere else but this body and this mind; up close and as personal as it gets. Like I've suggested elsewhere spend some time in meditation it will change your outlook.
Nice snipe and run. Puck puck puck. Join the discussion, enlighten us. I suppose you're one of those science types who thinks that consciousness originates in the brain and at the same time believes in free will.

Actually I was waiting for a response!
JustThis. I don't know how to enlighten anyone. I just know that the majority of brain scientists (and yes I do read the neuroscience journal articles) have long since abandoned the dualist conceptualization of brain/mind. Even as we speak there are fMRI and other imaging experiments probing many different thinking modes, including meditative states. The correlations between mental states and brain function are starting to become clearer. And, as it turns out, subtle timing experiments do demonstrate that it is brain that CAUSES mind and not the other way around. So your inference that, somehow there is a difference and seeming to hold out that there is separateness to mind and brain is simply not supported by the science. You seem willing to spout opinions about these phenomena but don't offer evidence from actual science. And since this is a SCIENCE forum, I thought sniping would be as acceptable as unsubstantiated inferences. Do not mean to offend, just would like to discuss the science of belief and faith etc., not more opinons and holdover ideas about mentation.
Just a quick scan and here we go again. What does man really know about science, not much. Probably hasn't scratched the surface in relation to DNA, brain functions, etc. That magical life force that makes the heart beat from inside the womb until life's last breath, what is it? What generates a heart to start beating in the first place, what is it?
Doctors and scientists can only make conjecture about a lot of it. Oh sure, we found out a lot more in the last 100 years than in all of recorded time. But really now, when I hear folks talking conjecture as if it were fact, it makes me chuckle.
And with that, it is time for beddy bye. Good night. Time to check into a REAL factual textbook, the bible. We're starting over in the book of Luke. It is very interesting. I hope you'll join in reading. We'll reconvene here tomorrow night to see what you've learn.
Bye bye…
You are falling victim to one of the classic blunders! You are confusing the unexplained with the unexplainable. The notion that science cannot study the things that go on inside the brain/mind is naive. Anything that one cares to name can be investigated scientifically. Just like any other field of inquiry, the process remains the same: Hypothesize. Experiment. Theorize. Rinse. Repeat.
The notion that what goes on inside of our heads is somehow magically inscrutable to this process is as arrogant as it is absurd. In fact, it runs contrary to the life experience of virtually every human who has ever lived! We know that external factors lead to profoundly different mental states, and, because we can talk about them, we know that these factors are much more universal than individual. By mapping these reactions, along with the physical study of the brain itself as they happen, it is quite possible to learn highly meaningful things about how the brain/mind connection works.
Finally, the fact that peoples' minds can be radically altered by chemicals should prove to any sane person that mind is informed by brain, and not the other way around.
I am familiar in a layman's way with some the mind-brain research that is underway and find it fascinating. However sometimes you need to pull back, apply a little everyday common sense to what is being said and see if it adds up. Can the results of this research be related to the everyday experience of a human being. I don't see that it can and this is why I doubt that science can explain consciousness. Let me lay out a mental scenario that will show what I mean.
Let's say that you come home from work, you're a little tired so you lay down and doze a bit. Your brain is doing what it does at moments like, kind of humming along in neutral. Then the thought occurs to you that you would like a cup of coffee. So you get up and head for the door, if someone should ask you what you are doing you would reply "I decided to go get a cup of coffee." Now let's backtrack and see what happened according to science. Science sees consciousness as an epiphenomenon of the brain or that the brain causes consciousness. So you're sitting in your chair and suddenly your brain generated the 'get coffee' thought. How did this happen? Well there are chemical imbalances of neurotransmitters, synapses start popping, electrons race and so on. This happens in what, several hundred thousand brain cells (I'd have to read a neuroscience journal to find out)? Just how did this activity start? What kicked a hundred thousand brain cells into this flurry of activity, synchronized activity I might add? Did a bunch of brain cells just randomly start firing? Did a few 'controller cells' start the process, if so what started their activity? And if somehow it was just a bunch of brain cells that started this whole business why bother creating the thought "I think I'll go get a cup of coffee?" Why not just send nerve impulses to the body to direct it to get up and go to the nearest 7-11? There is something missing in the scientific explanation of the 'coffee' event. Scientifically speaking electrons (or neurotransmitters or nerve cells,etc) in the brain caused you to go get a coffee. Electrons are causing me to write this post. Now I ask you is this how you think of your life? The brain causes consciousness, the brain generates 'you', the brain causes you to think, the brain causes you to act, the brain causes you to love your wife and children.
You can say all you want about the scientific explanation of consciousness and you may say that you believe it. The problem is that the scientific conception does not match how we really feel our 'selves' to be, there is a 'disconnect' here. You have an intellectual, scientific picture of how you are constructed that is very different from how you feel yourself to be. Are 'you' really just electrons, molecules and neurotransmitters in motion. There will always be this separation between the interior me(where science can't go) and the exterior me that can be studied. And when you start believing that the exterior picture is more valid than your interior 'life' you are out of touch with what it means to be a human being.
[quote author="psiconoclast"]You are falling victim to one of the classic blunders!
Never fight a land war in Asia?
In fact, this is wrong. Common sense is neither common, nor particularly veridical. When you are dealing with tremendously subtle cause-effect phenomena, common sense is your enemy.
Flowers (some of them anyway) are beautiful. Nobody disputes the notion that what we see, however, is simply light reflected off of a collection of matter, and interpreted by our minds (regardless of how our minds work). There is no magical flower spirit that makes them pretty, but they are pretty nonetheless. Human thought is much the same way. The fact that it arises from phenomena that can be studied does not, in any way, mean that it is not wonderful or special. In fact, the ability for the electrons and chemicals in our brains to give rise to what we think of as "me" is one of the most wonderful things in the world.
JustThis, the reason is because you are not looking at what happens to conscious and self awareness when the brain is damaged. Sure you can mediate all you want, but if you were to lose some brain functions, would you still be you?
I contest you wouldn't.
My grandfather was a very religous man that spent his last two years of 98 year long life jacking off constantly and talking about boobs. Was this him? Was this the release of years of repression? Or was it just the way Alzhiemers destroyed his brain? Since he didnt even know his own name, nor where he was, nor anyone around him anymore, I would say the person I knew as my grandfather had ceased to exist, and was now a very dirty chimpanzee.
So you say there is a disconnect between the interior you and the exterior you where science can't go. I contend that those with brain impairment demostrate the real disconnect.
I worked for awhile in a rehab facility for people with severe brain damage.
I meditate, and while I think science is a bit lapse so far in investigating the mechanics of consciousness, I think they are working on it.
But I don't fool myself to think that if I lost my brain, I would still be me.
now out of respect for gman, and since i am no scientist, I will quit posting in this forum !! = )
I don't think you have to be a scientist to post here. But I must confess I tend to agree with some of the comments that gman made re: the lack of rigour with which statements are made. In my perusal of these discussions I have detected what seems to me to be a substantial amount of opinion and ideological posturing that is as based on blind faith as the religionists against whom so many rail. This topic contains examples of such.
My question is: what sort of discourse might be helpful and worth the time to participate in for the purpose of illucidating or furthering the arguments that Sam Harris has put forth? Surely it cannot be peoples' opinions about gun control or the aimless thoughts of nearly mindless religious sycophants and the responses of those who seek to 'reason' with them.
Perhaps a starting point would be to focus on some relevant literature that could provide a focused discussion of some particular points in Mr. Harris' book. I believe someone, in one of these topics, posted a reading list. If non-scientists have read some interesting work (presumbably by a respected scientist) that pertains to the topic, surely they will have interesting insights to offer or raise interesting questions to explore. The necessary ingredient is critical thinking. As a starter, I believe someone mentioned the Steven Pinker book, "Blank Slate". I found this one particularly enlightening with respect to how some minds may be predisposed to hold strong beliefs even when contrary evidence is supplied.
A serious, broadly engaged, discourse on the topics and conjectures raised in Mr. Harris' book would be most welcome. If there are any who would care to join this effort, please respond.
All you scientists out there, I would like you to explain consciousness to me. I would also like you to verify it's existence. I am really curious to see where this goes.
[quote author="Iisbliss"]Sure you can mediate all you want, but if you were to lose some brain functions, would you still be you?
Scientifically speaking I am not the same person today that I was yesterday. Spiritually speaking I am not sure that 'this person' exists at all.
[quote author="Gman"] The correlations between mental states and brain function are starting to become clearer.
Certainly I believe that there is a correlation between the brain and mental states, I've had a few beers in my day, but I am not a scientist. Where is the proof that these 'mental states' exist?

Early this morning before sunrise,
I looked at the silver charts and decided that it was a relatively good time to buy my 40 generic buffalo rounds.
Somewhat unusual for me being correct about a daily timing, I saved $8 as compared to buying now!
But that's not why I'm making this post in this gold section.
I got a marketing email over the weekend about this excellent deal on a 1 gram gold product
one which I'd planned to add to my next buffalo order during the upcoming week.
Much to my chagrin, but not surprise, this morning they were already out of stock.
At 80 to one that's only 80 grams, less than 3 ounces of silver, that I'm neglecting to acquire to obtain this chip of gold, so I would not feel so badly.

Scary-good Bruins might be better than 2011 champs
When Jarome Iginla signed with the Boston Bruins last summer, he knew he was joining a society of master craftsmen.
The Bruins have won more playoff games in the past 33 months than Iginla won in 17 years with the Calgary Flames.
"This is a group that knows how to play to be successful in the playoffs," Iginla said. "The veterans on this team know what they are doing."
Leading 3-1 in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarterfinals, the Bruins can finish off the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday (3 p.m. ET, NBC).
MORE:Bruins can wrap up series
Since the spring of 2011, the Bruins have won a Stanley Cup, reached the Finals another time and won 36 playoff games. They have changed goalies, made bold trades, added younger players and have continued to stay among the league's best teams.
In fact, the current Bruins might be better than the 2011 championship team. Here's why:
Goaltending switch: As sharply as Tuukka Rask has performed, we can't say he is playing better than Tim Thomas did in 2011. Thomas won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP with a .940 save percentage. But Rask seems to be a better fit for the Bruins because of his composed, unflappable playing style. Thomas was an acrobat, flamboyant in his style. The Bruins didn't always understand what Thomas was doing back there. Rask's style is more simplified, and yet seemingly just as effective. The Bruins rely heavily on composure and Rask has a James Bond coolness about him. He also has a .966 save percentage in the first four games of the postseason.
Numbers don't lie: This season's Bruins had a higher goals-per-game average, a lower goals-against average, a better power play and gave up almost four fewer shots per game.
More skill and poise on defense:The maturing of Dougie Hamilton has given the defense another potential elite player. He is 20. Torey Krug was a rookie in 2010-11 and now has a better understanding of how to effectively use his booming shot from the point. Kevan Miller's development has been a major bonus. Andrej Meszaros was the perfect acquisition by general manager Peter Chiarelli. Matt Bartkowski has contributed more than expected. Imagine how strong this team would be if shot-blocking defenseman Dennis Seidenberg hadn't suffered a season-ending injury.
Zdeno Chara hasn't lost anything: At 37, the Bruins captain still has a major impact in a playoff series because of his size and reach. He's a Norris Trophy-caliber defenseman with an elder statesman understanding of how his team can be successful. He has better offensive numbers than he had when the Bruins won in 2011.
Deeper up front: Iginla, Reilly Smith, Loui Eriksson and Carl Soderberg offer more than Nathan Horton, Mark Recchi, Tyler Seguin and Michael Ryder contributed in 2010-11. Chiarelli has been artful in tweaking his roster to make the team more dangerous. Iginla is an older player, but he is a 30-goal scorer with wisdom and a snarl. He can play a physical style.
Masters of hockey: Most Bruins, particularly Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci and Milan Lucic, have an advanced understanding of how the team needs to play to be effective. Look at the Bruins' statistics and you will see a list of players with highly impressive plus-minus numbers. Everyone seems to believe that coach Claude Julien's style is the path to a championship. This team is much more knowledgeable than it was three years ago about how it should play. This is a patient, technically sound team that doesn't panic or get frustrated very often.
MORE:Franzen's silent spring hurts Wings
The Red Wings have speed, intensity and a hunger to succeed. They had scored three or more goals a game down the stretch. But they have four goals in four games and can't get anywhere near the net. The Bruins allow them only shots from the outside. Boston's defense has been mind-bogglingly good in the first round.
A team will have to play at a very high level to beat the Bruins this spring. That's why Iginla signed there. He saw what the Bruins did to his Pittsburgh Penguins last spring in a sweep in the 2013 Eastern Conference finals. That's why he joined this society of craftsmen.

Project Description
The state Legislature approved a $9.975 million investment in Lansing Community College, which will help LCC transform the 40-year-old Arts & Sciences Building into a progressive, cutting-edge student learning facility that will increase the number of science labs, accommodate enrollment growth, and enrich learning by giving faculty the environment in which to teach in new laboratories that will rival the best undergrad labs in the nation. LCC will be responsible for matching the state dollars.
LCC chose to renovate an existing building instead of constructing a new building, saving some 50 percent in construction costs.
The project will renovate 151,000 sq ft of existing building to increase the number of science classrooms, laboratories and general classrooms to meet the growing enrollment in science and general education programs. The goal is to equip students to compete intellectually, physically and emotionally in junior and senior level courses at other colleges and universities.
Construction itself will occur in phases beginning with the south end of the 1st and 2nd floors. That phase will be completed by spring 2013 when the second construction phase begins.
The entire project is scheduled to be finished in time for the Fall 2013 semester.

Boatbuilders often say: If it looks fair, it is fair. I think that's tremendous advice.
Making perfect circular components in wood is tough. If the piece of wood needs to roll, such as on a child's toy, you probably need some jigs to keep your circles true.
But what if they only have to look round?
For the August 2011 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine I built a simple plywood lamp that's shaped like an incandescent lightbulb. All the pieces for the base are round and – in many cases – have beveled edges.
I considered making a simple circle-cutting jig for the band saw and disc sander, which is what I would do if I needed engineer-style results. But these parts just have to look round. So it's easier and faster to trust your eyes.
The only tricks are to use a sharp pencil and to use some care when cutting to the line on the band saw. The best sawing advice I know is this: Always try to saw right on the line or right next to the line. Don't try to saw a certain distance away from a line.
The result of this effort is that I had almost no material to remove at the disc sander. I used a light touch while holding the piece against the sander and kept the piece moving as much as possible.
This technique works great for circles or ellipses with straight or beveled edges. I don't think this technique would pass muster in a machine shop, but here you are trying to satisfy only the eye.
— Christopher Schwarz

So much ink has been spilled in the last 24 hours over Cam Newton, yet so little has actually happened, that we felt obligated to break it all down. Here's hoping this doesn't become a daily feature.
It was nice that the original Newton allegations emerged on a Thursday evening. It gave everyone time to formulate theories and choose sides, but the fact that it was a weekend meant no one relevant would be commenting. So when the week started, everyone hit the ground running.
Gregg Doyel firmly weighed in by savaging ESPN's sources, especially John Bond. He captured a lot of the early zeitgeist, with Auburn backers (and moony idealists) ripping big media organizations for going to print with little more than rumors or gossip. We don't think Doyel's naive, but we're fairly certain ESPN and the Times wouldn't publish without having more that they weren't able to report — yet. As it turns out, they had more. But there were clear holes in the reporting. As SportsByBrooks points out, the timeline doesn't make any sense at all. Mississippi State allegedly relayed the accusations about Newton's people asking for money to the SEC when it happened, in January. The SEC says it only learned about the allegation in July. Someone's lying, but regardless, it's clear the SEC didn't begin to seriously look into this until it hit the media. (And it's not clear whether the SEC informed the NCAA at all.) It took the muckiest of muckraking for the people in a position to investigate to actually do so.
Then, a diversion. Thayer Evans at FOXSports reported that Newton left Florida not over playing time, but over an academic cheating scandal. The information is irrelevant, and illegal to leak to the media. Yet it does an excellent job of character assassination, its likely objective. Evans took a ton of heat for relying on a single anonymous source, even as the media scrambled to figure out who that source might be. Urban Meyer and Dan Mullen both denied being the mole.
Then, shit hit the fan back over at the main event. Perhaps emboldened by the mainstream acceptance of the original story, two separate sources — recruiters for Mississippi State — told ESPN that Newton and his father, in separate conversations, said they wanted pay-for-play. This was what Doyel and others had been rightly demanding. Multiple sources, placed in a context that gives their claims plausibility ("recruiters" all but means "coaches" here.) That's bad news for Auburn and Newton, who had previously denied all allegations of soliciting money for his commitment (while remaining mum on any cheating allegations.) In a press conference yesterday, Newton did his best Mark-McGwire-pleading-the-fifth impression.
Things got weird. An Alabama radio guy Tweeted that an ESPN Dallas reporter had claimed Newton would be suspended in a matter of hours. Everyone completely lost their shit, until someone actually asked the reporter what he had said. It turned out to be "With this story, something big could happen in 3-4 hours." Everyone stepped down from DEFCON 1.
So now where are we? Gene Chizik says Newton will play this weekend, end of story. The FBI plans to meet with John Bond, to investigate "whether young men are being shopped to colleges." (They are, obviously; they have been since well before Marcus Dupree.) And sports books are rapidly taking the Auburn game off the board, after some bigtime action appeared for Georgia +8.5. That's not saying Vegas knows something we don't. They're just worried that the pro bettors know something we don't.
Which could be anything. We don't know a hell of a lot right now.
