NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Student athletes learn valuable lessons on and off the court during their careers. Monday night many Tennessee State student athletes learned valuable lessons that will influence them on the playing field and in life.
Monday night more than 60 select TSU student athletes were a part of the OVC Leadership Academy led by Dr. Becky Ahlgren Bedics of Ahlgren Bedics Consulting, LLC Janssen Sport Leadership Center.
The course was offered to coaches and members of the athletic department staff in the morning; with the night cap directed at their student athletes. OVC commissioner Beth DeBauche organized the leadership building courses for all the universities in the conference with the goal of giving student athletes and coaches a new outlook on leadership.
"It's good to hear from an expert that has done it at different levels and has figured the pieces out," said Senior Woman Administrator Valencia Jordan. "So as we go through our struggles we don't stay there but really have a blue print on how to perfect those things to become successful."
Student athletes participated in activates to learn different forms of leadership, as well as self-evaluations to determine their strengths and weaknesses.
"I never realized you had to be an enforcer and make conflict to lead, because I'm someone who shies away from conflict," said freshman softball player Liz Stansberry. "So that was an eye-opener for me to see that I need to work on that type of leadership to help my teammates out."
Dr. Ahlgren Bedics also spoke on the fact that being a leader off the field is important, but putting in work now will help in down the road.
"Leadership is with you your whole life," Stansberry said. "It's going to improve you as a person and your relationships with other people."

Maks Chmerkovskiy Interviewed About Dancing With The Stars And Childhelp
Today, Maks Chmerkovskiy was a guest on Hallmark's "Home & Family" show. Did you know he turned down the first season of dancing With The Stars? At first, many of the dancers competing at the time thought Dancing With The Stars was a joke.
While being interviewed, they showed clips of Maks dancing with Melissa Gilbert. The interviewers ask him about his temper. He talks of how his bad-boy image is misrepresented on the show and he doesn't have a temper. He just has a lot of passion.
Maks also answers questions about his dance career. He talks about his youth and growing up with Val. All this and much more at Hallmark including spreading the word for his new cause for Childhelp!!

UPDATE: Malaysia: Religious Department threatens to carry out caning in secret
Syariah prosecution head Datuk Abdul Rahim Jaafar said the department would not announce when 32-year-old Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno would be caned, scheduled for after Hari Raya, to avoid a "media circus".
The department would only announce it after the punishment had been carried out. "There is no need to publicise when she (Kartika) will be caned. We might do it quietly and will not make an announcement to let the public know. If we do, it will be afterwards. We do not want the issue to be exploited and for foreigners especially the foreign media to accuse and label us and our laws as being cruel to women," he said yesterday.
Kartika was fined RM500 and ordered to be given six strokes of the rotan. She was reported to have said on Wednesday she was was upset with those who had disturbed her and her family.
Kartika wanted the sentence to be carried out quickly; she said too many individuals, organisations, politicians and non-governmental organisations had met her and her family, and she threatened to take legal action against those who disturbed her peace and that of her family.
She has appointed several civil and syariah lawyers from Adham and Associates in Ipoh, to look after her interests and those of her family.

Rihanna Debuts 'Diamonds' Music Video
The title of Rihanna's latest single might be "Diamonds" but the video doesn't sparkle nearly as much as you think it would thanks in large part to its gritty vibe. The video for the first single off her new album, Unapologetic, was just released, and the video is just that. Switching from black and white to some very muted colors, life goes backwards and in slow motion as things around her break to pieces — literally. There is also imagery of her running away from something, as well as some time spent with a horse, and a burning man. While we're not exactly sure what the plot it supposed to be, it's definitely a feast for the eyes. Check it out above.

Photos of Crystal Renn by Terry Richardson for Vogue Paris's 90th Anniversary October 2010 Issue
Carine Roitfeld Finds It "More and More Difficult" To Keep an "Un-Politically Correct" Attitude About Vogue Paris
>> Vogue Paris is celebrating its 90th Anniversary issue with a masquerade ball tonight in Paris — an marquee event of the week — but also garnering attention: Terry Richardson's editorial, "Festin," styled by Carine Roitfeld, in the issue, of Crystal Renn stuffing an entire squid in her mouth in one photo and dribbling herself in steak juice in another.
Roitfeld said the shoot was inspired by the 1973 movie "La Grande Bouffe," about a group of men who retire to a villa to eat themselves to death, and that she thinks it's the job of fashion magazines to continue to push boundaries and provoke, even in the face of attacks on their judgment: "In 90 years, we haven't changed the mood of the magazine. It's still very audacious. It's still about beauty. It's still about excess. It's still very avant-garde . . . We try to be sophisticated, while a little on the edge all the time."
She continues: "What I can see is that now, the censoring is bigger than it was 20, 30, or 40 years ago. I think we have less freedom. Today some pictures [from past issues of Vogue Paris] would not even be publishable. It's not just about the nudity, but when you talk about things politically, the military, kids, it would all be politically incorrect and not publishable today. We have to fight to keep this un-politically correct attitude of French Vogue, but it's more and more difficult to be able do that. You cannot smoke, you cannot show arms, you cannot show little girls, because everyone now is very anxious not to have problems with the law. Everything we do now is like walking in high heels on the ice, but we keep trying to do it."
On a more personal note, Roitfeld did a video with Hilary Alexander in which she talks about designing her silk shirt with Charvet and exclaims, "F*ck yoga, it makes me crazy!"

Bins for clothing, book donations may get identifiers of for-profit owner
By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News
Mothers Against Drunk Driving's logo appears on a donation collection bin. CMRK, a for-profit company that pays MADD for use of its logo, might soon add a notice telling donors the bins are owned by the company. (SHAWNE K. WICKHAM/Union Leader)
- Donation collection bins in New Hampshire that bear the red logo of Mothers Against Drunk Driving soon may also feature notices that they are owned by a for-profit company that pays MADD a licensing fee for that logo.
Fawaz El Khoury is the owner of CMRK Inc. of Northborough Mass., which owns the white bins that accept donations of used clothing and books. He met recently with officials from the charitable trusts unit of the Attorney General's Office to discuss adding language to those bins to clarify what MADD gets out of the arrangement.
And while the exact wording has not been worked out, both sides characterized the discussion as constructive.
"We expressed our concerns that we didn't want to mislead the donating public, and he expressed a desire to work with us," said Anthony Blenkinsop, director of the charitable trusts unit.
At issue is the fact that the bins bear only the MADD logo with no explanation of where the proceeds from collected items go, Blenkinsop said.
"We just expressed our concern that we viewed it as potentially misleading to donors who felt they were donating to a nonprofit organization when he, in fact, is not a nonprofit organization," he said. "We thought there should be something on the bins to reflect the fact that these bins are, in fact, operated by a for-profit agency."
Reached by telephone, El Khoury said he will comply with whatever the Attorney General's Office wants.
"We're working on wording to try to figure out what we have to do to be 110 percent in compliance with the rules and regulations of the New Hampshire charitable trusts division," he said. "We said, 'please help us to do what's right and what is correct, and help the organization in between.' "
"We are out there to help a charity, number one," he said.
The issue first arose last fall after a New Hampshire resident contacted the AG's Office to ask about the MADD boxes.
At that time, a spokesperson for MADD told the Sunday News the anti-drunk-driving organization has an agreement with CMRK that allows the company to post MADD's logo on the collection bins in exchange for an annual licensing fee of $10,000.
El Khoury said he offered to put collection bins in New Hampshire when he learned that the MADD chapter here was struggling.
He said he has not made any profit from what he collects from boxes in New Hampshire. And he said he is losing several locations here because the lease contract is expiring.
Still, he said, "If we expand in New Hampshire, then we will turn around and start to give them (MADD) more income as we make more income."
Blenkinsop said his office is working on suggested language that would clarify the relationship between MADD and CMRK.
It's not only New Hampshire that's been trying to figure out whether and how to regulate the proliferation of collection bins at strip malls, convenience stores and gas stations.
Blenkinsop said some states have passed laws regulating donation collection bins. He said it's too early to say whether legislation is needed here.
However, he said, "It's going to be worthwhile to look at what other states have done, just to get a sense of what's out there."
Blenkinsop said it's also incumbent upon the charities in such cases to make clear how much of what is collected is actually benefiting them. "I would hope any nonprofit entity would want to make sure the public is given information that allows them to make an informed choice," he said.
Anna Duerr, director of communications at MADD's Texas headquarters, said in an email that her organization has been in touch with CMRK "and we are working together to clarify the language on the bins."

SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition fully supports log shipping setup and monitoring. The Enterprise Edition's Database Maintenance Plan Wizard includes a check box on the Transaction Log Backup dialog box that lets you specify shipping the log to another server. To use this option, you must first establish file shares on the source and destination servers for the transaction log folders. The wizard will then perform the full database backup and restore, create the transaction log backup job, and create the jobs on the destination server that copy and load the backups.
Related: Simple Log Shipping in SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition
As with the Microsoft BackOffice 4.5 Resource Kit (BORK) Log Shipping utility for SQL Server 7.0, these log-shipping jobs call the xp_sqlmaint extended stored procedure to perform their tasks. The wizard also creates alert jobs for the copy and load operations; these jobs call the same monitoring stored procedures as the BORK utility calls. However, the stored procedures and tables underlying SQL Server 2000's log-shipping functionality differ from—and have more consistent names than—the stored procedures and tables that provide the BORK functionality. SQL Server 2000 has seven tables to BORK's three and has four stored procedures for monitoring.
Overall, the SQL Server 2000 system is more polished than the BORK version. With SQL Server 2000, you can monitor log shipping through the Enterprise Manager instead of through the stored procedures. When you set up log shipping, the Database Maintenance Plan Wizard places a Log Shipping Monitor in the Management node of the server you specify. This monitor consists of a Tab dialog box that lets you observe log shipping's status and change settings for the source and destination servers. You can also view copy and load histories by right-clicking the Log Shipping Monitor in the details pane.
Like SQL Server 7.0, SQL Server 2000 doesn't offer automated support for failover or for changing the servers' roles so that log shipping goes the other direction. Instead, SQL Server 2000 supplies four stored procedures to assist in the failover process and relies on a new built-in Data Transformation Services (DTS) feature to transfer logins from the source to the destination server. You can use the stored procedures to resolve the logins on the former standby server, to change the servers' roles, and even to change which server the Log Shipping Monitor resides on.

BANGOR, Maine, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, who died last week a murder-suicide, was cited for several disturbances while in college, records indicate.
Police say Belcher killed his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins in their Kansas City home Saturday before going to Arrowhead Stadium, where he shot himself in the presence of the team's coach and general manager.
Belcher's name appeared at least three times on police reports released by his alma mater, the University of Maine, The Bangor (Maine) Daily News reported Monday.
It said the records show that while a freshman in 2006, Belcher was upset over a woman and punched a dormitory window. A report from the next year indicated officers responded to a noise complaint involving Belcher and his girlfriend.
A third report showed a request by Belcher to be let into a building.
In the 2006 incident, police wrote "Belcher was upset over a girl and punched a window out. There was a lot of blood outside of the west entrance and in the lobby" of the dorm hall.
Former Black Bears teammate Mike Brusko told the newspaper the incident followed a bout of heavy drinking.

When to Use It
Use Pedigree Resource File to discover what genealogical research has already been done. Use it to guide you towards original records. As with all compiled genealogies, Pedigree Resource File has significant limitations (see below) and more accurate information should be sought from the original records.
- Submitters are responsible for the accuracy of the information. FamilySearch does not check the accuracy of any contributed genealogy.
- Information in Pedigree Resource File is second-hand. Verify the information before accepting it.
- Submitter information, previously available, is now hidden for privacy reasons.
- Pedigree Resource File contains many errors and unlike the new FamilySearch Tree, corrections are not accepted. Submitters are advised to make another submission that includes corrections. However, both old and new submissions are left in Pedigree Resource File.
Submitting Your Genealogy
Sharing your genealogy allows you to preserve your family history in the Pedigree Resource File and share it with others around the world. A copy of the genealogy files (GEDCOM format) that you submit will be preserved in the Granite Mountain Records Vault located near Salt Lake City, Utah. In addition, your genealogy may be made conveniently available to others on the Internet.
You can quickly and easily submit your genealogy:
- First, obtain permission from any living persons mentioned in your genealogy to submit their information to FamilySearch. Remember, notes and sources attached to an entry for a deceased person may also include information about a living person. For privacy reasons, you must remove any information about living persons if you do not have their permission to submit it.
- Second, review your notes and sources to make sure they don't contain any offensive or inappropriate statements about another person. If found, remove such information.
- Third, save your genealogy in a GEDCOM file format on your personal computer. Many genealogy software programs provide the capability to save your records in a GEDCOM file format (where the file is named with a .ged extension -- for example: eastleyhistory.ged). Please see the instructions provided with your software for more information.
- Fourth, submit the GEDCOM file that you have created to FamilySearch. You will need to agree to the conditions for submitting your genealogy before submitting the file. For instructions, see Submitting to the Pedigree Resource File.
Pedigree Resource File on Disk
Formerly, Pedigree Resource File was available for individual purchase on 147 disks (CD and DVD). Because FamilySearch is discontinuing distribution of record collections on disk, Pedigree Resource File is no longer sold on disk. Copies of the 147 disks are available for use in many family history centers, including the Family History Library. New submissions to Pedigree Resource File will be available only online.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Ancestral File and Pedigree Resource File?
Both files are the results of user submitted genealogies. Submissions to Ancestral File were merged into one common pedigree. Submissions to Pedigree Resource File are kept separate from other submissions. Notes and sources submitted are preserved in Pedigree Resource File submissions but were discarded from Ancestral File submissions.
How do I contribute to Pedigree Resource File?
See Submitting to the Pedigree Resource File
How do I correct errors in Pedigree Resource File?
Corrections are not accepted for Pedigree Resource File. Corrections can be made in the new FamilySearch Tree. Submitters are invited to resubmit genealogies that incorporate desired corrections. However, the submission does not replace the old submission. Both old and new, incorrect and correct, are in the file.
How accurate is Pedigree Resource File?
The information in Pedigree Resource File is submitted by users of the FamilySearch website. Some people may have contributed incorrect or incomplete information. FamilySearch does not verify the accuracy of information in Pedigree Resource File.
Some genealogies include notes and sources, which can help surmise the accuracy of a particular genealogy.
Are living people included in Pedigree Resource File?
Pedigree Resource File does not display information about living people. People born less than 95 years ago who do not have a death date in the file are considered living.
How do I contact submitters to Pedigree Resource File?
For privacy reasons, the online Pedigree Resource File does not display personal information about submitters. Instead, it displays identifiers composed of parts of submitters' names followed by 7-digit numbers. The old Pedigree Resource File Discs displayed submitter names and contact information but the discs are no longer available.
Why are there duplicate records in the Pedigree Resource File?
No merges are made to genealogies submitted to the Pedigree Resource File, even updated files from the same submitter. You may therefore see duplicate records in the file.
How do I export a GEDCOM of a Pedigree Resource File submission?
It is not possible to export GEDCOMs from the online Pedigree Resource File.

Information About IPv6 Selective Packet Discard
SPD in IPv6 Overview
The SPD mechanism manages the process level input queues on the RP. SPD provides priority to routing protocol packets and other important traffic control Layer 2 keepalives during periods of process level queue congestion.
SPD State Check
The SPD state check is performed on the IPv6 process input queue on the RP. High-priority packets, such as those of IP precedence 7, are not applied to SPD and are never dropped. All remaining packets, however, can be dropped depending on the length of the IPv6 packet input queue and the SPD state. The possible SPD states are as follows:
In the normal state, the router never drops well-formed and malformed packets. In the full drop state, the router drops all well-formed and malformed packets.
SPD Mode
Users can enable an IPv6 SPD mode when the router reaches a certain SPD state. SPD aggressive drop mode drops deformed packets when IPv6 SPD is in random drop state. The OSPF mode allows OSPF packets to be handled with SPD priority.
The size of the process input queue governs the SPD state: normal (no drop), random drop, or max. When the process input queue is less than the SPD minimum threshold, SPD takes no action and enters normal state. In the normal state, no packets are dropped. When the input queue reaches the maximum threshold, SPD enters max state, in which normal priority packets are discarded. If the input queue is between the minimum and maximum thresholds, SPD enters the random drop state, in which normal packets may be dropped.
SPD Headroom
With SPD, the behavior of normal IPv6 packets is not changed. However, routing protocol packets are given higher priority, because SPD recognizes routing protocol packets by the IPv6 precedence field. Therefore, if the IPv6 precedence is set to 7, then the packet is given priority.
SPD prioritizes IPv6 packets with a precedence of 7 by allowing the Cisco IOS software to queue them into the process level input queue above the normal input queue limit. The number of packets allowed in excess of the normal limit is called the SPD headroom. The SPD headroom default is 100, which means that a high precedence packet is not dropped if the size of the input hold queue is lower than 175 (which is the input queue default size + SPD headroom size).
Non-IPv6 packets such as Connectionless Network Service Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (CLNS IS-IS) packets, PPP packets, and High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) keepalives were treated as normal priority as a result of being Layer 2 instead of Layer 3. In addition, Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) operating at Layer 3 or higher are given priority over normal IPv6 packets, but are given the same priority as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) packets. So, during BGP convergence or during times of very high BGP activity, IGP hellos and keepalives often were dropped, causing IGP adjacencies to fail.
Because IGP and link stability are tenuous and crucial, such packets are given the highest priority and are given extended SPD headroom with a default of 10 packets. These packets are not dropped if the size of the input hold queue is lower than 185 (input queue default size + SPD headroom size + SPD extended headroom).
How to Configure IPv6 Selective Packet Discard
Configuring the SPD Process Input Queue
The SPD in IPv6 feature is enabled by default. Perform this task to configure the maximum and minimum number of packets in the IPv6 SPD process input queue.

College Baseball: Mathieu, FPU cruise in NCAAsBy ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 17. 2013 1:01AM
HOOKSETT — Derry's Zach Mathieu and his Franklin Pierce University teammates got the East Regional of the NCAA Div. II baseball tournament started just the way they wanted.
The Ravens, a No. 6 seed with all kinds of motivation, routed No. 1 Wilmington, 7-0, at Penmen Field at Southern New Hampshire University on Thursday in the tournament opener.
"We feel like we have a chip on our shoulder," said Mathieu, a 6-foot-7 and 265-pound first baseman out of Pinkerton Academy in Derry. "Before we were kind of hyped and now it's the other way around and we like it that way so we've just been playing with something to prove."
The Ravens, then the No. 7-ranked team in the country, were knocked down a peg or two the second week of the season when they lost four straight games at — yes — Wilmington in Delaware.
There were other motivators, among them the way the Northeast-10 tournament ended and the fact that Mathieu and a couple of his fellow teammates may be playing their last collegiate games.
Franklin Pierce, now 33-16 and in the NCAAs for a ninth straight year, was knocked out of the league tournament in the first round by Merrimack, 4-1.
"I think they had a chip on their shoulder from Wilmington and as far as the season goes, it's more of a second chance," said Raven coach Jayson King. "We didn't do what we wanted to do in the conference tournament and we got a bid. I think the guys are feeling like they got a second chance and feel like they have as good a chance as anybody to win this."
Host Southern New Hampshire, the defending champion of the regional, and a few other teams plan to have something to say about that.
The Ravens play at 3 p.m. today in the double-elimination event against the loser of Thursday night's game between No. 3 New Haven and No. 4 Southern New Hampshire.
Junior Trevor Graham allowed three hits, struck out 10 and walked one in an impressive complete game win for the Ravens and improved to 9-2 for the season.
Mathieu knocked in Franklin Pierce's second run in the third inning with a long sacrifice fly to right field.
King said scouts have been out in droves to watch Graham and he expects Graham, Mathieu and Kevin McGowan, a 6-foot-5 junior righthanded pitcher out of Nashua North will all be selected in next month's major league draft and leave school to start their professional careers.
King said sophomore lefty Steve Hathaway will likely start today's game for the Ravens and McGowan will probably get the call for the team's third game in the tournament.
Mathieu leads the Ravens in batting average at .341 and in home runs with six. He's second in runs batted in with 33 and doubles with 15.
"Obviously his size is a different level and his athleticism is a different level," King said. "He has so much raw potential. He just needs to continue to develop and he has the potential to be a special player."
McGowan has a 6-1 record and 3.34 earned run average. In 64 and a third innings, he has struck out 64 and walked 12.
"He's similar to Zach," King said. "He's real big. He's got a real good fastball and he throws a lot of strikes. Both those guys are athletic and both those guys are only going to get better."
First, they've got some work to do at Penmen Field.
"You think about the draft," Mathieu said. "But I try to put the team first right now and focus on college because you never know when it's going to be your last time playing college baseball."
He and the Ravens hope to be playing until Sunday and a regional championship game — and beyond.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. forecast earnings that missed estimates and lawmakers prepared for budget talks, which seems to be putting a damper on any major bullish activity on the ES equities markets. Furthermore, the "Philly Fed" manufacturing index came out this morning well below estimates – the actual number was -10.7 vs an estimate of +5.7. As much as the bulls want the stock market futures to rally, we would be surprised to see a strong rally before the fiscal cliff negotiations are complete. We anticipate a range of 1350-1375 for the DEC12 E-mini S& 500P for the short- to medium-term.
Even after one of the major fundamental factors the market was waiting for (election) is now clear, things do not seem to be getting any calmer on the global political stage, with Israel striking Gaza just yesterday. There was certainly some "housing recovery euphoria" building in the markets before the election, but now that has dampened and been clearly trumped by the focus on getting our overall economy through potential automatic tax increases and spending cuts.
Big movers in the commodity futures complex today include Gold (-1.02%), Silver (-1.37%), Coffee (-1.32%), and Oats (-.146%). While gold futures are hovering near their key $1,700 level, we still believe that over the longer term, gold will rise and approach the $2,000 level. However, in the short term, gold may be affected by a recent report from the World Gold Council showing that global gold demand dropped 11% in the three months to September from record levels seen in the same period last year.
We focus on the Japanese yen futures market. The head of Japan's main opposition party called for a move toward negative interest rates, thus causing further selling of an already weakened Yen. Technically, we view the Yen as in a very bearish technical environment. It is well below is multi-month downward trendline, and has more recently broken below its bullish support trendline which started in June. Now, the Yen is in a technical as well as fundamental bearish environment. We see a major resistance level at 1.25 and a longer term downside target at 1.20. The next key support level could be 1.22, but we don't view this as a potential bottom. Remember, the trend is your friend.

New Traditional: Artwork & Accessories
New Traditional decor is all about layering unique wares in an edited fashion. For the most part, upholstery is kept neutral, allowing for artwork and accessories to take center stage.
Walls are adorned intentionally, with unique antique salvaged mirrors, sconces, and, in some cases, architectural remnants. Salon groupings of artwork are usually done in matching frames, for a tailored look. Special oil paintings, impressionistic portraits, or landscapes are usually hung on their own so as not to compete with other decor. Drawings, architectural studies or botanical prints framed simply with over-sized mats seem to be a popular choice.
When it comes to accessories, it's an exercise in mixing and matching. Natural curiosities are pared with antique silver dishes; staffordshire chinaware is placed on stacks of books next to something organic, like an oversized branch. The point is that hard meets soft, old meets new, color meets neutral tones. It's all about juxtaposition, scale and placement.

Lundqvist shuts out Predators, Rangers win 3-0
NEW YORK – Henrik Lundqvist made 27 saves for his fourth shutout of the season, and the New York Rangers stayed atop the NHL standings with a 3-0 victory over Nashville that stopped the Predators' winning streak at five games on Tuesday night.
The Predators, who beat the New York Islanders 3-1 on Monday, have won eight of 10. The Rangers had lost two of three entering Tuesday's game following a five-game winning streak, and still haven't quite broken out of a scoring slump. New York has averaged about two goals in 12 games since Christmas.
John Mitchell scored midway through the second period and defenseman Dan Girardi had a goal in the first when what appeared to be a pass went off Nashville defenseman Jack Hillen and fluttered in behind backup goalie Anders Lindback, who was moving left to right across the crease.
Ryan Callahan was awarded a goal when he dived to try to knock the puck into the empty net in the final minute, and Martin Erat dived on top of him.
New York leads the NHL with 62 points.
Fans chanted "Hen-rik!" several times, none louder than just before the final minute, when Nashville had to take its timeout. Lundqvist didn't need to make another stop to finish off his 39th NHL shutout.
Mitchell has been getting more ice time lately. He also scored New York's goal in a 4-1 loss in Montreal on Sunday.
On Tuesday, he skated into the corner, drew defenseman Francis Bouillon with him, hit the brakes, popped back out, and was alone to fire a shot past Lindback's short side at 10:42 of the second. Lindback, the backup to Pekka Rinne, made 25 saves.
That came shortly after several minutes of end-to-end hockey. Immediately after the goal, Nashville turned up the pressure, and Lundqvist made three quick saves during a chaotic couple of minutes.
The Rangers missed an opportunity to add on when Martin Erat was sent off for running into Lundqvist near the end of the period. Just 17 seconds into the power play, Marian Gaborik was given four minutes for high-sticking.
NOTES: Nashville has been perfect on the penalty kill in 10 of 12 games. ... Rangers F Carl Hagelin was stuffed three times by Lindback in the first period. The last one, just before the period ended, came when the rookie couldn't get much on a pass and floated the puck harmlessly on net. ... Nashville lost in regulation at the Rangers for the third time in nine games. ... It was Mitchell's fourth goal of the season. He was recalled from Connecticut of the AHL on Nov. 24. ... The Rangers have scored first in 23 games.

Commercial Solvents Corp.
List of Deals
- 1963 Commercial Solvents Corporation: 278,400 shares of series A preferred stock, 4.5% cumulative convertible exchange offer to holders of common stock of Northwest Nitro-Chemicals Ltd.
- 1966 Commercial Solvents Corporation: $20,000,000 4 1/2% convertible subordinated debentures due July 1, 1991
Commercial Solvents Corporation (CSC) was created in 1919. The corporation had started in Terre Haute as early as 1917 to convert Midwest grain surpluses into solvents by fermentation and also later to produce riboflavin and other nutrients by microbial action.
Commercial Solvents Corporation was established at the end of World War I and earned distinction as the pioneer producer of acetone and butanol by fermentation processes developed and patented by Dr. Chaim Weizmann. Terre Haute, Indiana, was selected as the home of CSC research because the location made possible the convenient translation of new processes from laboratory and pilot-plant to full-scale production.
The products of the company included basic and intermediate chemicals to be used in agriculture and industry, animal health and nutrition products, industrial explosives and some products for human use. The products were marketed throughout the United States and abroad. The corporation also made and marketed a line of agricultural products for farm crops, livestock, and poultry. Products included nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers, antibiotic and vitamin feed supplements and premixes, and selective pesticides.
CSC operated in two major areas of chemical technology: high-pressure synthesis chemistry and fermentation chemistry. The company specialized in converting substantial portions of the chemicals by processes based on various technologies. The principal raw materials used were natural gas for high-pressure synthesis operations and agricultural materials for fermentation operations
In 1927 it began its utilization of high-pressure synthesis technology with the development of a process for making synthetic methanol. In 1931 it assumed management responsibilities for Thermatomic Carbon Company, a producer of thermal carbon blacks for certain types of rubber products. CSC acquired a majority interest of Thermatomic in 1936 and 100 percent of the ownership in 1957.
CSC entered the animal nutrition field in 1936 with the development of fermentation processes for the production of riboflavin, a vitamin in the B-complex group, used as a feed supplement.
In 1946 nitrogen fertilizer operations were started with the purchase of its Sterlington, Louisiana, plant, which was later expanded to produce nitrogen solutions and solid ammonium nitrate for agriculture, in addition to methanol and other chemicals made from natural gas. The production of antibiotics for human health was initiated in 1944 when CSC developed a process for the volume production of penicillin by deep-tank fermentation and became the first to mass-produce a crystalline form of penicillin that broadened the use of penicillin and eliminated the need for refrigeration while awaiting use. By the early 1950s, due to the overproduction of penicillin across the industry, CSC began to produce other antibiotics and developed bacitracin, cycloserine, and zinc bacitracin.
CSC became an integrated producer of chemicals made from natural gas in 1959 when it acquired the assets of Louisiana Gas Production Company. In 1965 CSC announced the development of new processes and technology for the nitration of natural gas. In 1960 CSC acquired a controlling interest in Societa Hoffmann, p.A., of Rome, Italy, a pharmaceutical firm, and in 1962 it acquired a 51 percent interest in Istituto Chemioterapico Italiano, S.p.A., a pharmaceutical firm in Milan, Italy. In 1962 it purchased the business and assets of McWhorter Chemicals, Inc., a resins producer, and in 1963 it purchased Olin Mathieson's industrial explosives business.
In 1965 CSC and Purdue University announced the discovery and early development of the resorcylic acid lactones, a class of estrogenic chemicals. The original research leading to the discovery of resorcylic acid lactones, performed by professors at Purdue, lead to their obtaining a U. S. patent assigned to the Perdue Research Foundation.
CSC needed to maintain a competitive edge in all areas of its business since it was not a dominant player with respect to any particular one of the markets it served. CSC's principal subsidiary, Northwest Nitro-Chemicals Ltd., produced high-analysis nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers.
The book, One Thing Leads to Another: the Growth of an Industry, by Fred C. Kelly (1936) was written about Commercial Solvents Corporation and is held in the Baker Old Class collection.

DOVER, DEL – York College sophomore captain Kat Sipes recorded her first career hat trick as the Spartans shutout Wesley College 3-0 in Capital Athletic Conference action from Dover, Delaware on Saturday night. The Spartans improve to 3-5-1 overall and 3-1 in the CAC while the Wolverines fall to 1-6-1 overall and 0-3 in the conference.
The Spartans began the game attacking the Wolverines from the start. The Green and White fired off the first 14 shots of the game as the majority of the half was spent in the Wolverines' defensive half of the field. The ninth shot from the Spartans came when senior Stephanie Mergler served a corner kick into the box. Sipes banged home the pass with a brilliant header in the 20th minute as York seized the early lead. It could have been a bigger lead for York at the half but Wesley keeper Sydney Kahan recorded five saves to keep the Spartan advantage at 1-0.
York wasted little time in extending the lead in the second half as Sipes struck again, this time it was an unassisted goal, just 2:13 into the second 45 minutes of play.
Sipes completed the hat trick just over ten minutes later as Mergler banged a shot off the post that Sipes calmly collected the loose ball and one-timed a shot past Kahan for the 3-0 Spartan lead.
The Spartans dominated the game statistically as they outshot the Wolverines 25-6 while they also held a 9-6 edge in corner kicks.
Junior Sarah Spanarkel started in goal and recorded three saves in her 70:30 of action. Sophomore Katie Meehan played the remaining 19:30 and registered one stop for York.
Kahan went the distance in goal for the Wolverines as she made 10 saves in her 90 minutes of work. She allowed all three Spartan goals in the game.
The Spartans step out of conference on Tuesday when they host top-ranked Messiah College in a 4:00 pm contest at Graham Field.

Posted on 04/23/2012 7:34:18 AM PDT by SoConPubbie
Verona, PA - While Mitt Romney tries to tell heartland voters that he's one of them; his record speaks of a northeast liberal governor who tried to trample on Second Amendment rights. As Governor, Mitt Romney Targeted Gun Owners For Higher Taxes
In 2003, Then-Gov. Romney Increased Payments From Gun Owners To The State, Calling It A Fee Instead Of A Tax. "If you own a gun or a boat, kill termites or teach horseback riding for a living or just want to learn to drive, you may have to pay more for a state permit." (John J. Monahan, "Romney Asks For Fee Hikes," Telegram & Gazette, 2/28/03)
"Romney Proposes Raising [The State Firearm Registration Fee] From $25 To $75 On The 200,000 State Residents Who Hold Firearm Identification Cards."(Joanna Weiss, "Romney Proposals On Fees Draw Fire," The Boston Globe, 2/28/03) Romney Denied The Additional Funds Gun Owners Paid To The State Was A Tax, Since Only "A Subset Of The Population" - I.E. Gun Owners - Had To Pay. Romney: "I'm not going to try and be the dictionary here, in terms of defining the difference between a fee and a tax. For me, generally, a fee is something which applies to a subset of the population. ... A tax is something which is far more broadly applied." (Ken Maguire, "Governor Says Proposed New, Higher Fees Are Not Taxes," The Associated Press, 2/27/03)
Bay State Gun Owners Recognized Romney's Fee As A Tax Increase
When Romney Raised Sportsmen's License Fees, The Massachusetts Conservation Alliance Stated "We Consider It A Tax On Hunters." "Environmentalists and hunters said they are not only concerned about the potential loss of federal aid, but the fact that budget-makers would take fees assessed to hunters and spend the money as they wish. 'We consider it a tax on hunters,' said James Wallace, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Conservation Alliance, a newly formed group of sportsmen and wildlife preservationists." (Erik Arvidson, "Feds Warn State On Improper Use Of Fees," Lowell Sun, 10/3/03)
A Gun Owners Action League Spokesman Called The Fee Increase "A Tax On Your Rights." "Some constituent groups are already questioning whether Romney's specific fees are fair. James Wallace, spokesman for the Gun Owners Action League, said his organization considers the statefirearm registration fee - which Romney proposes raising from $25 to $75 - to be a tax on the 200,000 state residents who hold firearm identification cards. 'It's not a service,' Wallace said. 'It's a tax on your rights. We're not getting anything.'" (Joanna Weiss, "Romney Proposals On Fees Draw Fire," The Boston Globe, 2/28/03)
The Gun Owners Action League's Jim Wallace: "It's Not A Fee. It's A Tax On An Individual's Right To Bear Arms In Massachusetts."(Ken Maguire, "Governor Says Proposed New, Higher Fees Are Not Taxes," The Associated Press, 2/27/03) Gun Owners Action League Executive Director Michael Yacino: "In General, The Government Has Failed To Meet Its Obligations And Now It's Passing The Buck. ... It Just Shows They Don't Have Any Answers."(Casey Ross, "Fee Hikes More Than Nickels And Dimes," The Patriot Ledger, 7/9/03)
After Gun License Fees Skyrocketed Under Romney, One Massachusetts Gun Owner Said Voting For Him Was "The Biggest Mistake Of My Life" - "I've Been Kicking (Myself) For Voting For That Jerk." "Donn A. Boulanger voted for W. Mitt Romney because he liked the Republican candidate's stance against raising taxes. But, as he stared down the barrel of a $75 increase in the fee for his gun license yesterday, Boulanger called the vote 'the biggest mistake of my life.' He said, 'I bought his deal, but in the last six months, I've been kicking (myself) for voting for that jerk. He's trying to solve the state's

"I actually have a friend who thought similarly about McCain, and so voted for Obama. A lot of good that did us all."
Then your friend accepted the binary decision-making failure.
The bigger issue is that the GOPe has strongly supported a candidate who has routinely supported evil, is not a conservative and participates in an anti-Christian religion. Totally outside my control. I'm not completely convinced McCain would have led to a better long-term result than Zero.
When you support a candidate that supports evil, you discourage the base.
When you discourage the base, they don't work, give or vote.
When they don't work, give or vote, you are out of power.
When you are out of power, you sit at home more watching cable TV.
When you watch the lame programing on cable, you get depressed.
When you get depressed, you to to motivational workshops.
When you go to motivational workshops, you feel self-confident.
When you feel self-confident, you go to Vegas and bet wildly.
When you bet wildly in Vegas, you end up sleeping on a park bench.
When you sleep on a park bench, you end up selling your hair to a wig shop to get enough money to go home.
When you sell your hair to a wig shop, you look like Karl Rove...
Don't support candidates that support evil.
I'm no legal beagle (and shoot me if I ever start to change professions), but I have yet to figure why the whole licenses/fees gimmick can be help up as 'good' for guns, but using the same logic vs. voting...it's a 'poll tax' and 'not-good'
Exercising a right that is fee'd to death cannot be construed as a right IE: infringed.
I have two words for you: Wise Latina.
We can live in the real world or in a dream world. The damage done to our country by Obama has been severe, really severe. It started on Day One when he sent the bust of Winston Churchill packing. If you don't think, especially in retrospect, that this was a Big FU Western Civilization, then you're not playing with a full deck.
These are times which try men's souls.
"I have two words for you: Wise Latina."
I have two responses.
... First, if the Republicans had Senators with BALLS and convictions, it wouldn't have happened. The Presidency can't fix the party. It is filled with RINOs and RINO lovers, who want Mitt to lead them to higher levels of RINOdumb.
... Second, Gov. RINOmney appointed 75% non-republican, liberal, gay and abortion leaning judges. How wise was that? How much conservative conviction did it show? Just imagine how he will promote all kinds of silly liberal things with Executive power. And the RINOs will gladly hold his hand and sing songs of glee as he does it. At least with Zero, they are "somewhat" in opposition.
Sorry, no scare sale.
Mitt is a turd. Obama is a turd. You can't freshen up the punchbowl by scooping out one turd and throwing in a new one...
As governor of Massachusetts, Romney signed a ban on assault weapons, at the time saying "These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnt make any sense at all."" -- President Ronald Reagan
All too true. Unfortunately, to many here, as long as a 'Republican' wins it's all good...
Though the current Republicans in Congress haven't said a peep about recess appointments, F&F, etc. Why would they be up in arms with their own team helping promote BIG gov't?
I'm surprised the brow beating, being a Libertarian, hasn't commenced just yet for my insubordinate thinking *off to the Republican 'training' camp*
As if the turds currently in Congress, church mice-like currently, will hold the line to anything Mitt would push...
They think I'm pulling the level for Kerry, Jr., for the party, they can kiss my rosy-red ass. Principled, indeed.
Neah. We still hate him. We just hate Obama more. And we're trying hard to find some sort of silver lining.
Unfortunately, everything about Mitt that looks like a silver lining usually turns out to be, at best, tin.
If he thinks Romney was a disaster, wait until he sees what Pres. Obama's second term is going to be like...
Barring a miracle at the 'Pubbie convention, we're not getting any good choices this year.
Take a look and see why Rick Santorum received an A+ NRA rating:
'He [Rick Santorum] was the most effective advocate of bringing it [legislation to protect gun companies from frivolous lawsuits] to the floor and getting a vote scheduled. He used his influence to get it to the floor. Without that, we would have lost every American gun company.
Wayne LaPierre, CEO National Rifle Association, October 25, 2006'
excerpt http://www.ricksantorum.com/defending-2nd-amendment-rights
It looks like, according to Wayne LaPierre, we would have lost every gun manufacturer in the U.S.A. if it weren't for Santorum. Let's keep this in mind the next time Rick Santorum is the presidential nominee.
Just thought I'd add this great story as more incentive to vote for, and support, pro-Second Amendment rights politicians:

Seconds later, two men carrying guns approached her. One of them, later identified by police as Brenton Lance Spencer, 32, started to shout at her through the front passenger door to open the vehicle up and give him her money. The other, whom Macon police have identified as Dantre Horatio Shivers, 30, stood in front of the truck, also pointing a gun.
(Spencer) shouted, Give me the f money and open the f door! Campbell said. I said, Oh my God, somebody is going to rob me. I said, Baby, youre going to kill me anyway, so I dont have to open it!
Campbell said she reached for her .38-caliber revolver just as Spencer allegedly fired at her. She felt Spencers bullet whiz by her chest as she fired back. Her shot hit Spencer in the chest."

It looks like Heaven, and her gun, saved this brave lady.

Successfully Creating and Selling Your Image Online
Prior to purchase, please read the legal disclaimer regarding the material you are about to read.
Section V: An Online Overview
The series focuses on independent escorts, but sometimes using a good agency makes sense. Take a tour through some Web sites that are important for Internet escorts to be aware of. Don't skip this section! A basic understanding of the elements of advertising and reviews is covered as you visit the various sites listed.
Section VI: How Internet Escorts Advertise
If you don't advertise in some way, no one will know you're out there. Although I include a little information on offline advertising, my focus is on using the Net for your advertising. Learn the various forms of advertising available to you (probably more than you think!). A hint:
CraigsList BackPage is not the be-all, end-all of online advertising for escorts. Learn what USC 2257 is and how it affects you. And learn a little about ethical advertising and ways of making the most of the tools at your disposal. Although I mention some Web sites, this isn't a review of advertising sites. It's an examination of using various advertising methods.
Section VII: Marketing Your Image
Learn what an escort's image is and how to create your own. This is important because your image is what you're really selling. Target your ads/Web site to appeal to exactly the clients you want.
How much should you charge? Enough for you to accomplish whatever goals you want. An honest look at your finances and a simple math formula gives you the answer you need. Don't allow the false economics of escort work keep you from earning what you should.
Even though what you say is important, no one will stop to look at your ad if your pictures aren't great. The best way to get good pictures is by using a professional photographer. If that's currently beyond your budget, never fear! You get plenty of simple, DIY information from someone who has a degree in photography (me!).
Put everything together and write your ad. It's a little different from writing your Web site text, though. For one thing, you have less room on your ad. And potential clients expect certain information in the ad that may or may not be repeated on your Web site.
Section VIII: Web Sites
This is where it could get complicated. You non-technical readers are the ones that need this the most! So please read and learn. Why? Web designers who are willing to take advantage of escorts are a dime a dozen. Knowledge is the only defense you have. After this section, you can analyze their offers and tell them they're full of it. Take your money to a designer who'll put it to good use.
What if you want to build your own site? Well, this isn't a Web design book, but I do discuss buying a domain name and hosting, SEO (search engine optimization), using free sites, what sort of info clients do and don't want on your site, writing for your site, good and bad Web site design, and a DIY step-by-step process to getting a few simple pages up — including links and images.
Honestly, although Web sites are extremely important for escorts, it's not as complicated or mysterious as everyone thinks. I give you the power of knowledge. Use it to your advantage!
Section IX: Marketing and Clients
All this advertising and marketing is done with one goal: to make you money. You make money only after clients contact you and you set successful appointments. Here the focus is on the various ways of communicating with clients and how best to handle communications. The other half of the section focuses on how your marketing extends to your appointments. After carefully building an image, you can't just show up in jeans and a t-shirt expecting your clients to be satisfied. Your appearance, dress, behavior and environment make a huge difference in whether or not your clients return. Returning clients means you've built a successful business.
Section X: Further Thoughts
All those little bits that didn't belong elsewhere in the book, such as what to do if you're not a smashing success (there's more options than just lowering your rates and hoping for the best). Or what about sites that lift your ads or other girls who copy your text? How do you give yourself a "raise?" Is creating separate identities ethical? More questions are covered, this is just an idea of the level of discussion you can expect.
The book closes with a few appointment tips, leaving you ready to face the world. Of course, the next step is all that business administration stuff! That's a whole book in itself, Book #3, to be exact.
Book 2 Extras
You can read the Table of Contents online in HTML or as a downloadable PDF.
A nice, juicy excerpt on choosing a Web designer is available in HTML.

At a time of amped-up competitions like cage matches and extreme obstacle-course races, there's something downright retro about a good old-fashioned arm-wrestle.
A couple of combatants, usually at a bar, usually egged on by onlookers, plant their elbows, grasp hands and try to force each other's arms down. What could be simpler, sweatier and thus more suited to that summer's-end tradition, the Maryland State Fair?
"It's mano a mano," said Steve Simons, who for the past five years has hosted an arm-wrestling tournament at the fair, which began Friday. "It's a chance for ordinary people coming to the fair to get in a competition."
For those who eschew sausage-eating contests or have no heifers to show, arm-wrestling is something of the rock-paper-scissors of the fair: Who doesn't know how to do it?
Simons, a sports promoter based in the San Diego area, has about 10 fairs enlisted this year for his Arm Wrestling USA tournaments, with state winners getting the opportunity to compete in a national event held in Arizona. The local arm-wrestling tournament will be held Aug. 31 in the Maryland Foods Pavilion.
The fair, which runs through Sept. 2, also includes some new attractions like Goat Mountain, featuring the animals in a natural habitat, as well as concerts by Fall Out Boy and Carly Rae Jepson and the usual livestock shows and carnival rides. Fair officials expect about a half-million visitors.
As it turns out, there is something of an arm-wrestling subculture, or rather, several subcultures. You can find a bewildering assortment of associations, leagues and federations online, displaying videos of matches, and selling arm-strengthening devices and books.
In 1974, Simons, an investment banker with an itch to get into the sports business, created the World Professional Armwrestling Association and began staging tournaments across the country in amusement parks and shopping malls.
"I would wrestle the talk-show hostess of 'Good Morning Whatever' at places like the Golden Ring Mall," Simons said.
He eventually sold the WPAA but returned to arm-wrestling promotions after marrying a woman seven years ago who said the one thing she'd like to do is travel more. Simons realized state fairs had just the right "grass-roots America" atmosphere for arm-wrestling, and now the couple travels across the country.
For most, though, it's just for kicks.
"It's a good conversation piece," said Ann LaVigna of the arm-wrestling trophy she won at last year's state fair, now on display in the living room of her Beltsville home.
She came in second out of four in the women's featherweight competition — not bad, considering she entered on a whim and didn't practice or otherwise prepare. She was beaten by a girl she remembers as being in the ninth grade.
"I thought I could take her, but as soon as she gripped my hand, I thought, 'Oh man,' " said LaVigna, 53, a systems analyst at the University of Maryland, College Park. About 15 seconds later, her fears were confirmed.
LaVigna, who hadn't arm-wrestled since she was a kid, goes to the State Fair every year — she works in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources — and when she saw that there would be an arm-wrestling tournament, made a mental note to attend on that day.
"I'm sort of competitive. I work out — not a lot — and I feel like I'm in good shape," said LaVigna, who might enter again this year. "Maybe I can get first place this time."
Chris Kinnaird, 19, goes to the fair every year to help a family friend who has a turkey stand in the Maryland foods area. He'd seen the arm-wrestling, and his dad had competed a couple of times. So he gave it a shot last year — and won the category for men under 145 pounds.
"People took it seriously, but it was just fun and games for me," said Kinnaird, who is a volunteer firefighter in Thurmont and a groundskeeper at a Montgomery County golf course. "I ended up winning, so it was pretty cool."
Both LaVigna and Kinnaird received national rankings from Arm Wrestling USA for their efforts — which came as a surprise to them. Simons weighs the different competitions and compiles the standings, remembering how important such rankings were when he played on the senior tennis circuit.
"I used to spend thousands of dollars going to different places to get a ranking," Simons said. "As we get older, it's a cocktail party story. At the end of the day, no one cares but you."
And so it is with arm-wrestling — he tried to make his system as serious as possible for those interested in getting seeded for the national championships, which will be held in November at the Arizona State Fair.
"But most people take it tongue in cheek," he said.
Still, arm-wrestling has its adherents, those who look longingly to Europe, where it's a much more organized sport, or who see it as the next showy attraction, something like mixed martial arts.
"We're going to bring legitimacy to the sport," promised Bill Collins, who co-founded the Ultimate Armwrestling League four years ago. "We're going to bring arm-wrestling to a whole 'nother level."
Collins, who lives in Los Banos, Calif., is also president of the U.S. Armwrestling Federation, which sends a national team to the world championships every year. Underscoring the pressures of arm-wrestling competition on the international stage, the world federation adopted an anti-doping code in 2005 that follows the World Anti-Doping Agency standards that govern other sports.
Collins says he is working with a network — he declined to name it — trying to get a TV series made about his sport, something that would help turn its competitors into pro wrestling-style celebrities and adding more pre- and postmatch trash-talk.
That's what his beloved sport needs, Collins concedes: to grow beyond its current appeal.
"It doesn't have a fan base like the NFL," he said. "And unless you're an arm-wrestler, it's boring as hell."

From the Cellar: Westvleteren 12
A vertical tasting of the once-top-rated beer in the world.
Once, not too many years ago, there was pretty strong consensus among beer geeks that the Trappist monks at the Abbey of Saint Sixtus of Westvleteren brewed the best beer in the world. A glance through the top-rated beers on ranking websitesUntappd, Ratebeer, Beeradvocate and the likewould find the monks darkest and strongest ale, the simply named 12, right at the top.
The torture in this is that actually getting the beer was a pain in the ass. The religious tenets of Trappist monks allow them to brew, consume and sell beer, but they also require that the monastery only sell enough to support itself, meaning just a few cases of Westvleteren beer made it into the hands of drinkers each month, and the process of actually buying bottles was tryinginvolving, among other aggravating steps, travel to Belgium.
Times have changed. While the beer, sometimes known as Westy 12, is still holding strong at #2 on Ratebeers best-of list, its been bumped all the way down to #18 on BeerAdvocates by the likes of Tree House, The Alchemist and Toppling Goliath.
What caused this drop? Have the tastes of beer drinkers or the ability of American brewers changed so dramatically in such a short time? Did the 15,000 six-packs of the beer the Abbey sent to the U.S. in 2012 remove the rarity factor from drinkers ratings? Or are folks just drinking Westvleteren 12 wrong by not giving it enough time to mellow?
We wanted to find out, so we tasted four versions of this renowned Trappist quad: one seven years old and stored at room temperature, one seven years old and kept refrigerated, one five-year-old bottle from the batch shipped to the U.S. in 2012, and one bottle purchased directly from the brewery a few months ago. You can skip down to the bottom of the post for the full tasting notes, but lets lead with what we learned:

Colback signs for Newcastle
Sunderland midfielder Jack Colback has fulfilled a boyhood dream by crossing the Tyne-Wear divide to sign for Newcastle on a free transfer.
The 24-year-old midfielder, who was born on Tyneside and supported the Magpies as a boy, has signed a long-term contract after rejecting a new deal at the Stadium of Light.
Colback, who had been with the Wearside club since he was 10, was linked with a series of teams including West Ham and Aston Villa after dismissing an initial contract offer from the Black Cats. Despite head coach Gus Poyet's desire to retain his services, further talks ultimately came to nothing.
Colback, who won a Capital One Cup runners-up medal with the Black Cats in March, said: "I'm absolutely delighted. To come to the team I supported as a boy, my hometown team, will be really special for me.
"It was an opportunity I couldn't let slip. If you asked fans around the world the one thing they'd like to do before they die, it would be to play for the team they support and I've got the chance to do that.
"I've only got good things to say about Sunderland. They gave me my chance and I want to thank the fans and the club for all their support.
"I hope they can understand the chance I've had here to move to my boyhood club. Now I can't wait to pull on the black and white shirt at St James' Park for the first time.''
Colback scored for Sunderland in their second successive 3-0 victory over Newcastle at St James' in February, and that may prove difficult for some Magpies' fans to forget.
However, manager Alan Pardew was delighted to get his hands on a player who has interested him for some time.
Pardew said: "I'm extremely pleased to have brought Jack to Newcastle United. He's a great passer, versatile and rarely gives the ball away.
"He's also a local lad and knows exactly what playing for this club means, and at 24 years old, his best years are ahead of him, so I think he'll be a big asset to us.''
Colback becomes Newcastle's second summer signing following the capture of 20-year-old Tenerife striker Ayoze Perez.

Treating red, itchy "allergy eyes"
(NAPS)—Taking a few simple steps can help relieve symptoms of allergies, whenever they strike. An estimated 50 million Americans suffer from allergies, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America—and many will tell you that ragweed and mold strike allergy sufferers hard in the fall.
