TSSAA is working overtime on playoff pairings
The office light bulbs at the TSSAA office in Hermitage burned a little longer night Friday. With high school coaches, players, fans and media awaiting the unveiling of the playoff pairings via an 8 a.m. radio broadcast today, the TSSAA needed every available brain to sift through countless playoff scenarios, to select the correct wildcard teams and to place all qualifiers into geographically friendly quadrants.
If it sounds like a massive undertaking, it was.
"We're going to try and get as much sleep as possible (before the radio show), but it's not going to be much," TSSAA assistant director Matthew Gillespie said earlier this week. "We're getting them (the pairings) out much earlier than we expected.
"We're going to have to double- and triple-check things with the playoff seedings. It's going to be the middle of the night or early morning Saturday when we get done."
In previous seasons, the playoff pairings were finalized by midnight on the final night of the regular season. Some coaches could even begin first-round preparations days, sometimes weeks, in advance, because they already knew which team they'd play out of a specific region.
The TSSAA reworked the playoff system into such a quagmire of uncertainty that no one will know who plays whom until today.
Whether the public likes the new way or not, the change increased talk about the playoffs, more so than any recent year. "Wildcard" became the new buzzword.
Coaches and school administrators filled the TSSAA phone board this week with questions, Gillespie said, trying to get the slightest hint of where they could be going or if they could be hosting.
Everyone gets an answer today when the pairings are released. The TSSAA will have a link on its Web site (TSSAA.org) to the audio feed from Nashville's 104.5-FM The Zone, which is broadcasting the brackets.
The pairings also will be posted on TSSAA.org as each bracket is released on air.
"And all this work people have done into predicting and stuff, some people are going to throw their hands up and go, 'Why did I do all that?' said Gillespie. "But that's part of the fun of it, though.
Nominees, Please: Football coaches, volleyball coaches and girls' soccer coaches are asked to begin sending in candidates for the Tennessee Sports Writers Association's All-State teams.
Include as much information as possible about each player, including final-season statistics, awards won, positions played and collegiate plans.
College Bound: Farragut volleyball player Kylann Scheidt will sign with the University of Tennessee on Nov. 17 in a ceremony at Farragut.
Scheidt was the 2008 PrepXtra player of the year.
n Central center fielder Brooklyn Cress will sign to play softball Tusculum College on Nov. 11.
Cress, a left-handed slap hitter and All-District 3-AAA performer, hit .405 last season and was 20-for-20 on stolen-base attempts.
Stiff-Armed Honor: Alexander McCandless (Sevier County), Carter Sandlin (Maryville), Erin McMullen (Sevier County), Jaclyn Ramsey (Greeneville), Jeremy Clift (Carter) and Julia Hsu (Farragut) are state finalists for the Wendy's High School Heisman.
Center Of Attention: Mike McCabe, a former Catholic offensive lineman (1967-71), was selected by a panel of former University of South Carolina football players as one of the program's best all-time players.
McCabe was slotted as the school's best all-time center along with Lou Sossamon. McCabe, at 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, lettered at South Carolina 1973-75. He anchored an offensive line in 1975 that produced two 1,000-yard rushers (Clarence Williams and Kevin Long). McCabe was drafted by the Detroit Lions in 1976.

monster mash song
Playlist: 10 songs for Halloween
Christmas carols get all of the love, but there are some good Halloweens songs, or songs good for Halloween, too. Here are 10 bone-chilling tunes for your Halloween party, trick-or-treat festival or dark pagan ritual. Do you have your own favorites not on this list? Add them in the comments section below.
1. "Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett. Campy, yes. But a classic.
2. "Season of the Witch" by Donovan. Mentions witches right in the title. Perfect.
3. "Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath. These metal gods recorded plenty of awesome songs, but this is the only one that's scary, thanks to Ozzy pleading, "Oh, no, no, please, God, help me," then getting washed away by Tony Iommi's sweet doom riff.
4. "Re: Your Brains" by Jonathan Coulton. Corporate zombies attack in the office. Nooooooo!
5. "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. Dancing ghouls throwing down to a kick-ass bass line in the best music video of all time. Dig it.
6. "Dead People Unite" by Werewolph. Part of a Ryan Adams cheese-metal side project, this song won't be easy to find. But it's a ghoulish gem. Adams sings in a raspy voice about taking down the living where they least expect it: while they're on the Stairmaster. See also: "Mega Wizards." Adams' "Halloweenhead" is another excellent choice, and easier to find.
7. "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" by the Cramps. Old-school garage rock with trebly guitars and Lux Interior's unhinged, reverb-soaked vocals.
8. "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon. Speaking of werewolves, don't mess with this one. He's dapper, but he'll rip your lungs out, Jim.
9. "Boris the Spider" by the Who. Spiders are creepy.
10. "Trick or Treat" by Tim Fite. Which reminds me: Fite gives away his third and final Halloween EP tomorrow,

It is raining. Like, Biblically. I’m not sure when it started. I know it had already started when I was on my way to work this morning. It was raining at lunch when I walked outside. It was raining as I drove across town to meet my family for dinner. It was raining hard as we left the restaurant. As we drove to my mother’s to visit following dinner.
As we drove home. And now, 16 hours later, it is still raining as my wife slowly invades my side of the bed. This is no Shermanesque land grab, mind you. No raping, pillaging, burning. This is measured and methodical, but make no mistake. If I don’t hurry the hell up with this post, I’ll be finishing with one cheek on the precipice of disaster.
It’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow as well. Little Rock is closing in on 70” of rain, and 2009 is already on record as the 7th Wettest Year on Record. And we’re not even to November.
So Stephanie and I will take off for Fayetteville tomorrow. In the rain. Because Saturday is homecoming for the University of Arkansas. The Razorbacks are playing Eastern Michigan University. On Halloween. In the cold. After a flood.

Danielle Leigh's Reading Diary -- Ninja Girls vol 1There are many, many reasons I thought I would not like Ninja Girls. It pretty much screams its fan-service-y orientation on its cover. In spite of that, the first volume not only entertained, it even made me laugh out loud a number of times.
Now let's get this out of the way. Ninja Girls is ridiculous. And more fun than it should be. The so-called "ninja girls" are wearing insanely anachronistic outfits even though the manga takes place during Japan's Warring States period and the protagonist is a boy with a horn on his head. In spite of this, there is a steady thread of rather dumb, but almost sweetly goofy, humor running throughout the entire volume.
The basic plot is a young teenager with a horn on his head has been an outcast his entire life. Alone and trying to make ends meet by doing services here and there for local townspeople, he only has his mother's funeral statue to keep him company. But luckily she manages to communicate with him by falling off the mantle at curiously odd times....and often boinking him on the head whenever he's about to do something stupid (I honestly think this was both the funniest and strangest part of the book).
One day, horn-boy's loneliness comes to end when he discovers a voluptuous girl drowning in the river. Being the stand-up gentlemen that he is, he rescues her (which involves too many modern attempts at reviving her -- seriously, why would he know CPR for god's sake?). This is all very cliche as clothes are removed, of course, and she wakes up thinking she's been violated (ur, not so hilarious), but the story moves past that pretty quickly. Eventually they discover that she's actually been looking for him. His horn is proof that he's the heir to some important household in Japan and there are some nasty ninjas who want to eliminate him.
So horn-boy needs protection and now he's got it in a surprisingly demure and innocent female ninja whose random power is great strength when the one she loves is looking at her (she turns to stone basically). Now, that the basic story is set up the rest of the volume involves the collection of two other ninja "girls" (*cough* there's a reason I'm putting "girls" in quotation marks, but the fun is learning why) in his "harem." Essentially they are there to protect him and help him take his rightful inheritance. I'm pretty sure he's there to make sure they don't bitch slap each other into oblivion.
Each girl has a distinct personality and interacts with our young master quite differently. If the first ninja girl is a stereotype of the willing young maiden, the second is pure Tsundere (& she's got an eye patch, which natch, makes her cool).
The third is a manipulative schemer, but the surprising part of this book is that the characterization is consistent and not willfully shallow. The fanservice ends up being mainly backdrop and in spite of the fact the girls look like they've been put on earth to be leered at, nobody in the manga pays much mind to it.
Even the "horny" boy (god, what an awful pun) develops a crush on stone-girl, it isn't just because he's horny but because he does care for her. Each individual chapter plays a bit with cliche situations we've probably seen in every shonen harem manga (example: horn-boy gets sick, has to be nursed to health...but then they go so crazy nursing him, he gets sicker), but I think the point is that the creator is having fun with tropes of the genre, not
merely mindlessly reproducing them.

michael jackson autopsy picture
Unfortunately Michael Jackson is dead but no one wants to leave him alone. There is word that autopsy pictures of the Pop legend are now circulating both online and in paper. Why someone would want to see gory pictures of a dead body is a mystery but each to his own. Obsessions can make people do crazy things.
The news that Michael’s autopsy picture(s) are circulation is not unexpected. Similar events happened to Princess Diane when she lay dying in her car in France nearly a decade ago. The execution of Saddam Hussein was also photographed and pictures circulated over the internet.
One would think that there would have been more precautions at the Mortuary where the autopsy was conducted. At most autopsies there are not more than 2-7 people, so most likely one of the individuals carried a camera and took pictures. Reports from LA indicate that a “high ranking Law Enforcement officer” leaked the autopsy photos and passed them to a colleague and now the pictures are supposedly on cyberspace. Even more astounding is news that some publishers of celebrity magazines have set a tag for $1 million if the pictures are authentic and verified.
The question is what does an autopsy picture show that is so different about Michael when he was alive. Probably MJ lying on table without any emotion or make up – so why one would want to obtain such a picture is puzzling? Perhaps someone is just trying to garner some attention by creating fake news!
It is most likely that MJ, his children and family would not want MJ to be shown this way. While not everyone was a fan of the King of Pop, at least we should give him some decency in death. Please, it is time to let MJ go.

skydex technologies
SKYDEX Technologies Inc Designs Humvee Flooring That Could Save Soldiers
Technology firm Skydex Technologies Inc. has won a major military contract to provide protective plastic flooring for more than 4,000 all-terrain vehicles that will be used by U.S. Armed Forces in the Afghanistan.
Centennial, Colo.-based Skydex earlier this year designed a blast panel consisting of two layers of thermoplastic polyurethane covered with a layer of thermoset urethane. Through Skydex’s patented “twin hemisphere” technology, these protective coatings can reduce floor-transmitted blast force from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by 71 percent, officials said.
A Skydex blast panel “looks like two halves of a tennis ball put together the wrong way,” Chief Technology Officer Peter Foley said in an Oct. 15 phone interview. “The geometry that we use disperses the overpressure from the IEDs. These [IEDs] are very unpredictable and unconventional, because it’s basically guys in a garage saying ‘What can we use to make a bomb today?’”
Since 2001, IEDs have killed 2,400 Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan and wounded 23,000 more. The percentage of casualties linked to IEDs has been increasing in Afghanistan, Skydex officials said.
TPU was chosen for the blast panels because of its resiliency, toughness and “ability to take millions of impacts,” Foley said. The material also provides shock absorption and vibration dampening. Skydex’s primary TPU supplier is Lubrizol Corp. of Wickliffe, Ohio, but the firm sources material from other TPU makers as well.
Skydex officials declined to identify the sheet makers it works with to make the blast panels. Military ATVs using the product are assembled by Oshkosh Corp. of Oshkosh, Wis., and Force Protection Inc. of Ladson, S.C.
Orders for additional ATVs extend “well into next year,” according to Foley. “‘Protecting things that matter’ is our motto, and that’s really become our niche,” he said. Government officials have said the overall ATV project eventually could be worth $3 billion and cover more than 5,000 vehicles.
Skydex delivered its first prototype blast panel to the U.S. Department of Defense in March. The project was fast-tracked, allowing it to be approved in less than the typical 18-to-24-month review period.
“Approval times are shrinking rapidly because of the nature of these conflicts that we’re in,” Foley said. “The military is trying to take advantage of what industry can do.”
Skydex employs 16 and operates a 4,000 square-foot office, R&D lab and engineering facility in Centennial. The firm was founded in 2000 by entrepreneur Joe Skaja, and originally designed padding for running and athletic shoes made by Nike. The firm transitioned into military work in 2003 and now generates more than 90 percent of its sales from that market.
Officials declined to provide sales data. Privately held Skydex is owned by members of its management team, as well as by angel investors.
Other military products designed by Skydex include padding for helmets worn by pilots and additional padding for protective body armor. Skydex also is working on cushioning to reduce lower back pain caused by extended sitting in military vehicles. Some of these products already are in use, while others are in development.

Technology firm Skydex Technologies Inc. has won a major military contract to provide protective plastic flooring for more than 4,000 all-terrain vehicles that will be used by U.S. Armed Forces in the Afghanistan.
Centennial, Colo.-based Skydex earlier this year designed a blast panel consisting of two layers of thermoplastic polyurethane covered with a layer of thermoset urethane. Through Skydex’s patented “twin hemisphere” technology, these protective coatings can reduce floor-transmitted blast force from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by 71 percent, officials said.
A Skydex blast panel “looks like two halves of a tennis ball put together the wrong way,” Chief Technology Officer Peter Foley said in an Oct. 15 phone interview. “The geometry that we use disperses the overpressure from the IEDs. These [IEDs] are very unpredictable and unconventional, because it’s basically guys in a garage saying ‘What can we use to make a bomb today?’”
Since 2001, IEDs have killed 2,400 Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan and wounded 23,000 more. The percentage of casualties linked to IEDs has been increasing in Afghanistan, Skydex officials said.
TPU was chosen for the blast panels because of its resiliency, toughness and “ability to take millions of impacts,” Foley said. The material also provides shock absorption and vibration dampening. Skydex’s primary TPU supplier is Lubrizol Corp. of Wickliffe, Ohio, but the firm sources material from other TPU makers as well.
Skydex officials declined to identify the sheet makers it works with to make the blast panels. Military ATVs using the product are assembled by Oshkosh Corp. of Oshkosh, Wis., and Force Protection Inc. of Ladson, S.C.
Orders for additional ATVs extend “well into next year,” according to Foley. “‘Protecting things that matter’ is our motto, and that’s really become our niche,” he said. Government officials have said the overall ATV project eventually could be worth $3 billion and cover more than 5,000 vehicles.
Skydex delivered its first prototype blast panel to the U.S. Department of Defense in March. The project was fast-tracked, allowing it to be approved in less than the typical 18-to-24-month review period.
“Approval times are shrinking rapidly because of the nature of these conflicts that we’re in,” Foley said. “The military is trying to take advantage of what industry can do.”
Skydex employs 16 and operates a 4,000 square-foot office, R&D lab and engineering facility in Centennial. The firm was founded in 2000 by entrepreneur Joe Skaja, and originally designed padding for running and athletic shoes made by Nike. The firm transitioned into military work in 2003 and now generates more than 90 percent of its sales from that market.
Officials declined to provide sales data. Privately held Skydex is owned by members of its management team, as well as by angel investors.
Other military products designed by Skydex include padding for helmets worn by pilots and additional padding for protective body armor. Skydex also is working on cushioning to reduce lower back pain caused by extended sitting in military vehicles. Some of these products already are in use, while others are in development.
