Old Yearbooks Online?
Have a relative who attended college? See if the college itself has put their old yearbooks online. Look at the school's alumni page or library website to see if there are links to digital copies. If you can't find them, try emailing the alumni office to see if they know if older yearbooks are available online. You may be surprised.

I found several issues (1909-2003) of the yearbook for a college in the area several family members lived in in PA. They have other states too (http://www.donslist.net/PGHLookups/YearbooksM.htm).ReplyDelete

I attended a very small college, and was pleasantly surprised to find that all of their old yearbooks were digitized and added to archive.org. So you never know!ReplyDelete

5 Minutes to Kill (Yourself) Review
The movie Groundhog Day is genius for a number of reasons, but for those with a dark sense of humor, it's pretty funny to watch the few minutes in which the protagonist, Bill Murray, tries to repeatedly off himself to end his mundane life. Playing off that notion is the Adult Swim game 5 Minutes to Kill (Yourself), in which the worst aspects of office life become the tools of your own destruction. Based on the popular Flash game, available for free on the net (but not on your iPhone), this momentary diversion may be fun for some, but becomes stale quickly.
The chief problem is that this is barely a game. You begin in your cubicle, apt to losing your mind, when you get one more meeting request. This sets you off on a path of self-destruction, and you must kill yourself before the meeting begins. Ordinary office supplies, your coworkers, and your own ingenuity become your tools in this brief quest. Drink bleach, inhale fumes from fire extinguishers, enrage your cube mates… whatever it takes to get the job done. The quicker you do it, the higher your score. The result is a bloody (albeit highly stylized) mess. The more you play, the more things you'll find to do.
This is what working in a cubicle will do to you.
And that's basically the whole game. The only other option is to compete against friends or perfect strangers in a "deathmatch" to see who can die more quickly. Fun? You can probably squeak in a few entertaining kills before it gets old. Funny? Well, if you spent the $2.99 the game costs, then you probably already have a twisted enough sense of humor to make the most of the comic violence.
None of this excuses the fact that you could play this for free online, minus the multiplayer mode. For $0.99, buying this game might seem more reasonable, but it lacks the replayability of a game such as Pocket God, which also has you offing people in creative and funny ways, costs you less, and receives frequent updates. We recommend holding off for a price drop, and only then buy it if you absolutely must satisfy your suicidal desires on the go.

"Fiber quality is critical to marketing success of U.S. cotton, and we believe three areas of research: improved new varieties, increased efficiency of crop management and improved harvest and post-harvest technology; are critical to increasing fiber quality," says Barrye Worsham, president and CEO of Cotton Incorporated (CI) in Cary, N.C.
Speaking at the recent Beltwide Cotton Conference in San Antonio, Texas, Worsham says working in cooperation with the National Cotton Council, Cotton International, seed companies, and machinery companies is a focus of CI's 165 employees and to their mission of increasing demand and profitability of U.S. cotton.
Worsham notes a continual increase in emphasis on research at CI, pointing out that research has long-been recognized as the foundation for good production and marketing.
In developing new varieties, the first phase of CI's research emphasis, Worsham says it is important to remember that fiber is the building block to all the end products of cotton. Without high quality fiber, geared to market demand, cotton has little chance in the international marketplace, where over 70 percent of U.S-grown cotton goes.
"When you consider that we are competing for market share with other cotton producing countries worldwide, and more importantly with other fibers worldwide, it is easy to see the impact that new and improved varieties will have over the next few years," Worsham points out.
In addition to developing new varieties, Worsham described increased efficiency in crop management and harvest and post harvest techniques as the three legs of CI's research effort.
CI-supported research has helped identify germplasm beneficial to cotton varieties and has provided DNA markers, making incorporation of these beneficial genes easier for breeders, Worsham says. "The trickle of germplasm we saw in 2005, combined with what is currently in the pipeline, should provide a flood of new material in 2006," Worsham predicts.
One of the biggest breakthroughs in the coming years may be varieties with resistance to nematodes, specifically reniform nematodes. He points out that nematodes annually account for about $165 million in losses to cotton growers.
Improved varieties alone won't mean much unless this new technology is efficiently managed by growers, the CI leader contends. Worsham says CI supported research on integrated pest management, irrigation, precision agriculture and record-keeping software are geared to helping farmers make management decisions that are often the difference between a profitable crop and one that is not successful.
Documentation, he says, of precision agriculture techniques, such as soil and field mapping and integrated field sampling have led to reductions in use of plant growth regulators, pesticides, fertilizers, defoliants and seeding rates without negatively impacting cotton yields or quality. Getting this information from researchers to growers and into their management practices is an ongoing goal of CI, according to Worsham.
Even after producing a high yield, high quality crop, farmers still face the challenge of good harvest and post-harvest management, the CI leader points out. CI research into ginning efficiency, crop marketing and lint cleaning are among the issues being addressed by CI-supported research, Worsham explains.
Overall, CI is expected to contribute nearly $10 million to these four areas of cotton research in 2006. In stressing the importance of each component of CI's research program, Worsham notes that it is critical for breeders to develop new, improved varieties that work well for the grower, but also perform well for ginners and spinners worldwide.
Engineered Fiber Selection (EFS) software is an important tool used by CI to further increase use of U.S. cotton overseas. Approximately 70 percent of the U.S. crop is exported and Worsham points out that research indicates mills that use EFS tend to buy more U.S. cotton. He notes that EFS licenses have been granted in 30 countries worldwide and that the first license to a Chinese operation occurred in 2005, which is significant since China is the leading customer for U.S. cotton.
In terms of marketing strategies, Worsham explains that CI has moved away from their 'cotton is the fabric of our lives' strategy that places cotton as a touchy, feel good fiber. He says new campaigns will focus on 'you can never have enough cotton' with specific campaigns on 'you can never have enough jeans', emphasizing that denim is the top cotton product on the market worldwide.

Telcos: The Internet Will Collapse If The Gov't Doesn't Gives Us Lots Of Money
from the proof,-please? dept
Yet, that won't stop the lobbyists, consultants and top marketing execs from claiming otherwise. A trade group heavily funded by AT&T is out yet again, warning that the internet will collapse by 2012 if "something" isn't done -- with that "something" being basically big government subsidies to the telcos. Consider it the telco bailout plan of 2009. Hell, if we're already bailing out Wall St. and Detroit, why not telcos as well?

The set includes: Music, Law, Philosophy, Politics, Finance and Banking, Concise Medical, Computing, Chemistry, Business Management, Biology and Accounting. Each shares a similar GUI, navigation and content display system and work consistently with the iPhone design ethic, but at the high price of 14.99$ per app, is the content worth the cost?

While vehicle thefts in the U.S. overall remain on the downswing, it seems that pickup trucks – unfortunately – remain high on the list of steal; especially 2006 model Ford F-150s.
That's just one of the factoids to be gleaned from the most recent ranking of "most stolen vehicles" by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB).
For 2011, the most-stolen vehicles in the nation were:
1994 Honda Accord
1998 Honda Civic
2006 Ford Pickup (Full Size)
1991 Toyota Camry
2000 Dodge Caravan
1994 Acura Integra
1999 Chevrolet Pickup (Full Size)
2004 Dodge Pickup (Full Size)
2002 Ford Explorer
1994 Nissan Sentra
The 2006 Ford F-150 is a newcomer to the list; indeed, on NICB's top stolen vehicle list for 2010, Ford's 1997 model F-150 ranked only as high as fifth place. Now a whole new model is jumping ahead to the number three slot.
Each year, NICB reviews all vehicle theft data submitted by law enforcement to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and determines the vehicle make, model and model year most reported stolen – without regard to a vehicle's insured status. Simply put, if a vehicle was reported stolen to law enforcement, it is captured in NICB's annual report.
Still, it's important to note in all of that that the data compiled for 2011 continues to show a decline in national vehicle theft rates, NICB pointed out.
Indeed, preliminary 2011 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) crime statistics indicate a 3.3% reduction from the 737,142 thefts recorded in 2010 – adding that vehicle thefts have not been this low since 1967.
Still, NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle cautioned that later model vehicles are now being targeted more frequently than in the past – despite advanced in anti-theft technology.
"While overall thefts continue to decline, we are seeing a trend toward increases in the thefts of late model vehicles − ones that are theoretically harder to steal due to sophisticated key code technology," he said.
"Today's vehicle thieves are typically professional criminals who have figured out how to get the key code for a specific vehicle, have a replacement key made, and steal the vehicle within a matter of days," Wehrle added. "We are aware of nearly 300 thefts that took place in the first three months of this year in which we believe replacement keys using illegally obtained key codes were used to steal the vehicle."
He noted, however, that law enforcement, vehicle OEMs, and groups such as NICB are working together to track such illegal key code transactions and stop the thefts or recover the stolen vehicles before they can be resold in the U.S. or shipped out of the country to be sold overseas.
Just one more thing pickup truck owners need to keep an eye on in the days ahead.

DailyDirt: Zipping Around On Fewer Wheels
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Common bicycles have messy, noisy, annoying chains to deal with, but the BMC UC01 city bike uses the Gates Carbon Drive system with a tough belt and nearly silent operation. Maybe it's not as hip as a fixie, but if you have $2K to spend on a cool bike, you probably don't care. [url]
- The Solowheel is an electric unicycle that charges up in 1-2 hours with a range of 10-20 miles. It can be ridden hands-free, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be careful... [url]
- The YikeBike is a compact electric bicycle with anti-skid regenerative brakes that can fold up and be carried in a backpack. Two wheels makes it look a bit safer than the Solowheel, but it's only a matter of time before someone finds out for sure. [url]

For more than a few years now I've seriously lusted after a CompuTrainer to hook up to my computer so I could race other people during the winter. Then I remembered that in the winter cycling is often the last thing I want to do, and I go back to the gym and eat egg whites.
But this has me interested, it's a bike trainer designed to connect to the Wii. We're in favor of anything that gets Junior up and exercising, like this Fisher Price bike I've dubbed My First Madone. And around Bike Hugger HQ, we get the bike-lust started early anyhow, so this will fit in nicely.

'I know not' is used occasionally, but it is archaic. The normal negative would be 'do not'.
From what I have noticed, English speakers just love to use "do" as the main verb as opposed to the actual verb they mean. What I am wondering is do the following really have the same meaning?
I do not know.
I know not.
If so, why are we so quick to throw in an extra verb?
'I know not' is used occasionally, but it is archaic. The normal negative would be 'do not'.
Why has it become archaic? The structure makes plenty of sense. One might say, "I know well," but shy away from "I know not," why? I know "do not" is normal, because it is what seemingly everyone uses.
I'd also shy away from "I know well".Originally Posted by aoeui
Well regardless, "I do not" and "I know not" have the same exact construction (subject - verb - adverb); if the former is acceptible, the latter should be no less. I know that "do" has been used for ages, but I wonder if it was ever used so frequently as today (Has someone a good background in the history of English?). I tend to believe writers (and speakers) in the past preferred more variety and elegance. (Yes, this is being critical of a tiny aspect of the language, but I like to think about why I say what I do or what I might say instead.)
They're not exactly the same as it should be 'I do not know' vs 'I know not'.
It's hard to say why things become archaic- language change can be arbitrary. I don't agree that older English was more elegant- it depends entirely on the user. It tended to be wordier- compare the essays writers of the eightenenth century with those of today. However, time has filtered out most of the dross, leaving us with the best of old writing. Most of the writing of today will also be forgotten. Collie Cibber (if that's how it's written) was a popular writer at the time of Pope, yet his is only remembered today because Pope laughed at him. Time will filter out the dross and leave the Philp Larkins and other great language users of this age.
It's hard to say what influences change. Patrick Henry's famous line is: "I know not what course others may take, but give me liberty or give me death." These days, in ordinary language we would not say I know not, but I do not know. I do not see do there as an "extra" verb but as a "helping verb" (auxiliary verb).
"do" in this construction is not a verb:
[IP I [I' [INFL do [VP [V' [NEGP not] [V know]]]]]]
Some "English" grammars don't permit a verb to move out of VP across as negative phrase into INFL, where it needs to be at S-Structure, hence the need for "do not know" (where "do" is inserted to meet the s-structure requirement for some inflected element to be in INFL - often called "do-insertion").
This explains why *I see not.
To further demonstrate, note that you can say "I have not" and "I do not have": in the former, "have", as an auxiliary, can make the cross-phrasal movement.
Hope this helps

Belton, Texas – The game was billed as a defensive showdown with a berth in the Division III National Championship Game on the line and this one certainly lived up to the hype as Wisconsin-Whitewater took the lead with a 16-0 run in the middle of the game and the Warhawks held on for a 16-15 victory over the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in a National Semifinal Saturday evening in Belton. UWW improves to 14-0 and moves on to the Stagg Bowl while the loss ends the Cru's season at 13-1.
UMHB took a 3-0 lead when Chad Peevey capped an eight-play, 55-yard drive with a 30-yard field goal with 6:57 left in the first quarter. A bad snap in the Wildcat formation by Wisconsin-Whitewater led to a Cru safety to make it 5-0 UMHB at the end of the first quarter. The Cru would drive the ball 70 yards in nine plays and Elijah Hudson scored on a 10-yard run to stretch the lead to 12-0 with 5:47 left in the first half. The Warhawks answered with an eight-play, 70-yard drive and Jordan Ratliffe walked in from three yards out to cut the lead to 12-7 with 2:05 left in the half. Whitewater had a chance to cut it to 12-10, but Eric Kindler missed a 42-yard field goal as time expired to leave it 12-7 UMHB at the break.
UWW would force a UMHB three-and-out on the opening possession of the second half and marched 60 yards in 12 plays before Ratliffe scored again, this time on a five-yard run to give the Warhawks their first lead of the game at 13-12. A two-point conversion attempt was thwarted by the Cru to hold it at that margin with 6:57 remaining in the third quarter. Kindler added a 31-yard field goal with 38 seconds left to play in the third and it would stay 16-12 late into the fourth quarter. UMHB's defense came up with a big stop on third down and Cody Jones returned the ensuing punt to the Warhawk 20-yard line to set the Cru up in the red zone with 6:19 to go. Three Malcolm Miller runs gave UMHB a first-and-goal at the Whitewater four-yard line, but a false start penalty backed the ball up to the nine. Hudson carried twice to set up third-and-goal from the Warhawks three-yard line. Zach Anderson then rolled out and found a wide-open Kolby Kelley in the corner of the end zone, but Kelley was unable to hold on. Peevey hit a 21-yard field goal to close the gap to 16-15, but Whitewater used all but one second of the clock before punting the ball away. UMHB's last second lateral play would be stopped as Whitewater celebrated a return trip to the Stagg Bowl.
The UMHB defense held the Warhawks to just 97 rushing yards and 294 yards of total offense on 71 plays in the game. The Whitewater defense allowed just 241 yards of total offense to the Cru with 188 of those coming on the ground. UMHB turned the ball over twice and was penalized four times for 19 yards. The Warhawks committed one turnover but were not penalized in the game.
Hudson finished with 106 yards and a TD on 19 carries to lead the UMHB offense and Anderson was 6-10 for 47 yards while being picked off twice. Jones and Deshon Kinsey led the Cru defense with 12 tackles apiece and Andy McAteer added 10 more and 2.5 tackles for loss.
Ratliffe ran for 100 yards and two scores on 28 carries for the Warhawks and Matt Behrendt was 21-29 through the air for 197 yards. Justin Howard had eight catches for 46 yards. Josh Williams had a team-best eight tackle and three other players chipped in seven stops apiece for Whitewater.
The Warhawks will now advance to face Mount Union in the Stagg Bowl for the eighth time in the last nine years when the two teams face off for the national title Friday night in Salem, Virginia. Wisconsin-Whitewater also improved to 5-0 all-time against the Cru with three of those victories coming in the Semifinals.
The loss ends UMHB's season in the National Semifinals for the second straight year. The Cru will lose 23 seniors from this year's team and that group posted a 50-4 overall record, won four American Southwest Conference Championships and did not lose a regular season game in four years. UMHB lost twice in the National Quarterfinals and twice in the National Semifinals with this group of seniors.

April is Stress Awareness Month, which reminds us to take a moment to reflect upon our daily and ongoing stressors and learn new strategies to cope with them.
Whether your stress is related to work, family, money or something else, the frustrations of life most often cannot be avoided, but we can build a healthy lifestyle that helps us manage these ups and downs.
In times of stress, many people turn to food as a source of comfort and release, which is known as stress eating or emotional eating. Of course, food only improves mood temporarily, but overeating and unwanted weight gain often leads to more stress and unpleasant feelings. If your weight or health is stressing you out, you can take action now to break old habits that lead to vicious weight gaining cycles.
Practice mindful eating
Mindful eating is key to taking control over emotional eating. Mindful eating is not a diet; it's about being aware of and accountable to your hunger and food choices. For example, try this: Every time you take a bite at dinner tonight, put your fork down between bites and think about the way the food tastes and how it makes you feel. This brings mindfulness to your meal. Decide to stop eating in front of the television or computer, in the car while driving, or standing in front of the open refrigerator. Allow yourself to eat when you are hungry and to listen to your body so you know when to stop eating. These are all strategies of mindful eating.
Portion control
There is no doubt that the human body is wired to reach for high-calorie foods in times of stress. This was beneficial for our species in prehistoric times when we had to hunt for our food and survival depended on the ability to get enough calories. In modern times, where there is an abundance of easily accessible calories, we need to limit portions to avoid unhealthy weight gain. Stress may trigger excessive snacking on comfort foods. Single-serving packs of snacks like popcorn or nuts and mini cans of soda can help bring portion size into perspective.
Preportioning lunches into small containers to take to work can help prevent overeating.
Using measuring cups when serving up food is also a helpful tool. You might be surprised how much less you are likely to consume when measuring out your portions.
Stress relief
When trying to take your mind off food, it helps to focus on something positive. Exercise and movement are not only a great distraction, but an amazing source of stress relief. The best activities to engage in are the ones you enjoy. While meditation and yoga are known to help with relaxation and can provide an escape, other workouts like kickboxing, biking, running and even weight training positively impact the part of the brain that handles emotions, fear and anxiety. Chat with your doctor if you are thinking of starting a new exercise regimen.
Feel-good foods
When feeling stressed, reach for foods that will provide some real, long-term mood boosting results. Dark green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale and broccoli are packed with folate, which is needed to make the feel-good brain chemicals serotonin and dopamine. Researchers have found that people who eat more fruits and vegetables report feeling happier, calmer and more energetic. This impact on mood is at least partially due to vitamin C and other plant-based antioxidants.
Avocados are a good source of stress-relieving B vitamins and provide potassium and monounsaturated fats that can help reduce blood pressure. The vitamin E found in almonds can help support the immune system in times of stress and can be found in a quarter cup of the nuts or a tablespoon of almond butter.
Try mindful eating, portion control and focusing on a lifestyle that incorporates plenty of plant-based foods and exercise to help you positively cope with the stresses of life.

We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball team only added to its rich history of success during the 2009-10 season, capturing its second straight Atlantic Sun Conference Championship and earning the program's ninth trip all-time to the NCAA Tournament ... Posting the program's fourth 20-win season in the past seven years, the Bucs overcame multiple challenges during the season before dropping Mercer in the A-Sun finals ... The Bucs were led by a team of "role" players that included forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston), guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.), guard Micah Williams (Manchester), guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa, Fla.), post Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.), and post J.C. Ward (Marietta, Ga.) ... Hubbard finished the year as a second team All ASun player after leading the Bucs in both scoring (13.9 ppg) and rebounding (8.2 rpg), and was named to the league's All-Tournament squad ... Meanwhile, Williams finished the year on a tear, scoring in double figures in 11 straight games, including a 32-point effort against Campbell en route to being named the A-Sun Tournament MVP ... Only losing senior guard Jocolby Davis off the roster from 2009-10, the Bucs will add Smith back to the mix after receiving a medical redshirt a year ago, and a trio of incoming recruits will also add to the talent pool.
The series versus Southern Miss
The Bucs and Golden Eagles have met 11 times previously, with ETSU trailing the all-time series 4-7 ... The last meeting between the two teams came during the 1992, with Southern Miss winning that game 79-63 ... Interestingly, the two teams played twice that year, with ETSU winning in Johnson City earlier in the season 87-76, then losing on the road in Hattiesburg, Miss.
Last time out
OXFORD, Miss. (Dec. 18, 2010) - A 13-0 run to open the game and another 9-0 offensive burst at the end of the first half were the difference Saturday afternoon inside the Tad Smith Coliseum, as the Ole Miss Rebels dropped the ETSU Buccaneers 71-50 in non-conference basketball action. ... The Buccaneers, who dropped to 4-5 on the season, will return to Johnson City and prepare to leave for Cancun, Mexico, on Monday, where they will compete Dec. 22-24 in the Cancun Governor's Cup. ETSU could face Ole Miss (7-2) again next week in Mexico, as the Rebels will also be playing in the same event. ... The game started poorly for the Bucs, as the Rebels hit three of their first five 3-point attempts and opened the game with a 13-0 run over the first eight minutes. Meanwhile, in that same time frame, the Bucs were dismal, going 0-of-8 from the field and committing six turnovers. ... ETSU woke up in a big way though, as senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) finally got the Bucs on the board with a three-point play at the 12:21 mark, and that sparked an 8-0 run to make it 13-8 with just over 12 minutes left before the break. The Bucs got to within five points on three different occasions in the half and trailed just 31-26 after back-to-back 3-pointers from senior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.). However, at that point the Rebels closed the first half with their 9-0 run to make it 40-26 at the break. ... In the first half, the Bucs shot just 36 percent from the floor and committed 12 turnovers compared to four turnovers for Ole Miss. While the Bucs outrebounded the Rebels 21-15 in the first half, the turnovers by ETSU allowed Ole Miss to take eight more shots from the floor. ... The Bucs' offense opened the second half poorly once again, scoring just eight points over the first eight minutes and allowing the Rebels to build their lead to as many as 21 points. ETSU never got closer than 14 after the break. ... For the game, the Bucs were led offensively by Smith, who finished with 18 points, while junior forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) finished with 12. ETSU shot just 31 percent from the floor and committed 20 turnovers on the night. ... While they outrebounded the Rebels 40-35, Ole Miss took 12 more shots on the night and hit on 49 percent from the floor and 32 percent from beyond the arc. ... Ole Miss got a game-high 22 points from Chris Warren, while Reginald Buckner scored 16 and Zach Graham added 14.
Buc Bits: With the loss, the Bucs dropped to 5-8 all-time against the Rebels � Senior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) missed his second straight game, and is not expected to play again until after the Cancun Governor's Cup. There is an increasing chance that Hubbard will not play again this year and will request a medical redshirt from the NCAA.
ETSU in "exempt" holiday events
The Bucs have played in four previous holiday tournaments over the last seven seasons, and have had mixed success ... ETSU is 4-8 in those events, but have enjoyed solid wins such as a victory over SEC foe Georgia in the 2007 Rainbow Classic ... Georgia went on to win the SEC Tournament that season.
2003 (Rainbow Classic) -- 1-2
2006 (South Padre Island Invitational) -- 1-2
2007 (Rainbow Classic) -- 1-2
2008 (Charleston Classic) -- 1-2
"Big 3" hitting on all cylinders key to Bucs' success
Coming into this season, the Bucs were counting on quality offensive production from their "Big 3" senior guards in Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.), Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) and Micah Williams (Manchester) ... All three have had double-figure scoring seasons in the past, and expectations were for much of the same in 2010-11 ... However, so far this season, the Bucs' five losses have coincided with poor output from the trio ... In fact, when all three score in double figures, the Bucs have won each of those games (Tennessee Tech, Milligan and Dayton) ... But when one or two is having an off night, the Bucs have lost each of those games. Here is a breakdown:
Game Smith Williams Tubbs
Kentucky 15 7 2
Murray State 10 8 2
Tennessee Tech 26 10 13
Milligan 13 17 11
Dayton 17 16 26
USC Upstate 15 11 3
Charleston 9 16 2
Mississippi State 20 18 8
Mississippi 18 2 9
Plans, trains and automobiles await Bucs
The Bucs find themselves in the midst of a month-long road trip that will see the team play a total of eight games away from the ETSU/MSHA Atheltic Center ... Trips to Dayton, Ohio, Charleston, S.C., Starkville, Miss., Oxford, Miss., and Cancun, Mexico await ... In all, the Bucs will travlel 3,776 miles by bus and 1,906 miles by plane during this time ... In total, it will amount to 5,682 miles and 67 hours/33 minutes of travel time.
Bartow among best in the country over last
five years
When looking at coaches across the country, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow stands among a select group ... Of those coaches that have been at their current school for at least five years, only 24 have averaged better than 20 wins a season ... That list includes coaches such as Dayton's Brian Gregory, Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, UConn's Jim Calhoun, Florida's Billy Donovan, Michigan State's Tom Izzo, Duke's Mike Kryzewski, Louisville's Rick Pitino, Kansas' Bill Self, Maryland's Gary Williams and North Carolina's Roy Williams ... The list also includes Bartow, who is average 20.2 wins a year since 2005-06.
Bucs help bolster A-Sun to strong RPI standings
With a pair of signature wins already this season, the ETSU men's basketball team - along with other members of the Atlantic Sun Conference - is doing its part to put the league in some impressive company on the national hoops stage. ... With wins over Atlantic 10 Conference stalwart Dayton and Southeastern Conference West Division favorite Mississippi State, the Buccaneers have helped the A-Sun generate plenty of waves across the board in the national RPI rankings. As a result, one month into the 2010-11 NCAA men's basketball season, the Atlantic Sun Conference is ranked ahead of other mid-major leagues including the Southern, Ohio Valley, Big South, West Coast, Mid-American, WAC and Sun Belt. ... The A-Sun remains among the top half of the conferences in the country. CollegeRPI.com ranks the A-Sun 14th, immediately behind the Horizon, Conference USA and Missouri Valley, and ahead of the conferences mentioned above. Against the Southern, Big South, Sun Belt and Ohio Valley conferences, the A-Sun owns a 15-8 mark. ... The conference has more than held its own against the BCS conferences. With ETSU's win at Mississippi State, the conference grabbed its fifth win against the "Power-6" leagues. No conference eligible for consideration for the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 poll owns as many BCS wins as the A-Sun. The five wins represent the most for the league since they also picked up five wins in 2007-08.
ETSU "only" A-Sun team picked among nation's
best "Prestige" programs
Since the beginning of the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball - marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 - the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to ESPN.com's "Prestige" ranking released back in 2008 ... Since that time, the Bucs have only added to their list of prestigious honors � The Buccaneers, who have enjoyed nine NCAA Tournament trips, one NIT berth, 10 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85, ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun Conference team, as well as former Southern Conference rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. In addition, the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as other major programs such as Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson, California and Florida State.

The Hapa Project
"People don't like when you don't fit into a box," says Kip Fulbeck, the artist behind The Hapa Project.
With a series of portraits and handwritten responses to the question "What are you?", artist Kip Fulbeck illuminates the complexities of race and identity with his project—for which he photographed 1,200 people who identify as hapa, 115 of which are featured in his book Part Asian, 100% Hapa.
Hapa, a Hawaiian word that means half, describes multiracial people with partial Asian heritage. Like other multiracial Americans, hapas couldn't acknowledge their heritage on the U.S. census until 2000, when respondents were given the option to select one or more race categories.
Fulbeck's subjects are photographed straight-on without clothing, jewelry, makeup, or expression.
"I want people to be away from the trappings of everyday life, which is the things we do to create an identity," Fulbeck says.
Fulbeck says his book is one he always wished he'd had growing up.
"I'd like those little kids to pick it up and see a lot of other kids like them," he says. "I would like interracial couples to be able to take that and have some kind of inspiration of how to maybe raise their kid in some small way."

Their real offense with Alex Smith scores 13 at home.. their non real offense with Kaep can barely get a TD against our backups? Doesnt sound to promising for his game plan lol
Wasn't at least 7 of those 42 scored by the special teams?
No but, what's that got to do with the price of tea in England anyway?
Well, the statement said their *offense scored 42,* that's not a correct statement if the special teams scored 7 of the 42. That means something like 35 was really scored by the offense with 7 being scored by the special teams.
As for England, I didn't know Robert England drank tea.

Gay Star Trek
Not long. Because sooner or later one Hollywood studio will gain dominance by adopting a Moneyball approach.
Goldman believed no one knew anything, and that moreover, no one could know anything. This belief pretty much approximates Baseball management before Bill James and the Moneyball revolution proved this wrong. Making "gut calls" on both players and moves (stealing bases, giving up outs to move a runner up into scoring position, going for "good body" guys who can't hit instead of "ugly" guys who can) is no longer supportable. The same way that trading by big firms has moved away from "gut calls" and instinct to program trading, computerized searches for micro-advantages in mis-pricing, so too has sports management. Besides baseball (the Red Sox, Yankees, Rangers, and other teams have adopted all or part of the Moneyball approach), the NFL (particularly the New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints), NHL, have adopted a method of statistical analysis to overturn long-held but erroneous assumptions about proper strategy and player selection.
Only Will Smith and his agent have really applied any rigor to figuring out what movies are successful, and which ones are not, and identifying common elements. Such as a Sci-Fi theme, action, comedy/humor, and so on. Early in his career, Smith and his agent sat down and did such an analysis, and came up with a set of criteria that he has mostly stuck to, in taking roles or declining them. Such a discipline has led Smith to become one of the all time box office champions, in terms of leading men. And it was not really that hard to figure out.
So too with TV. TV breaks down into female-oriented (which is most of it) and the few scripted shows that guys still watch. Star Trek, the original series, was famously just a Western set in space. Creator Gene Roddenberry pitched it as "Wagon Train to the Stars" and it even had regular Western character actors such as DeForrest Kelly as one of the leads. The original series garnered so-so ratings on NBC during its run, upon cancellation running for decades with great ratings. Various film revivals made lots of money, and series attempts even with living room sets (Star Trek Next Generation) or female captains (Voyager) or looming angry Black guy leads (Deep Space Nine) did acceptable ratings. The secret to the original series repeat success in syndication was being just a Western in space. That was it. The whole point. Nerdy White guys watched in droves, imagining they were Captain Kirk. A guy macho, but not too much, whom they could conceivably become. Those nerdy guys first started balking at imagining themselves the patriarch of some living room in space (Next Generation), then as some Looming Angry Black guy (lead Avery Brooks, a fine Shakespearean actor, for some reason played the character of Commander, later Captain Sisko like Othello). The last straws were Captains as inept female middle managers (Voyager) and milquetoast nebbishes (Enterprise). The final Star Trek TV series, Enterprise, was canceled in February 2005.
Who watches Star Trek? Gays? Nope, only 2-4% of the population is gay. What about the revival of BattleStar Galactica, which had prominent gay characters? That show was mostly watched by ... women. And it had fairly miserable ratings, as it went. Witness the swift cancellation of "Caprica" the follow-on show. Much of the TV business either is too stupid (always a possibility) to realize press and media coverage do not equal popularity (Gossip Girl dominates the media, yet barely ekes out a million in viewers). Or producers and such don't care, they won't share in financial success and just want to raise their profile in the industry for their next job.
Nevertheless, a professional management would have on hand:
1. What is the target audience, how much of them can we realistically expect to get, and how much will advertisers pay to be on our show?
2. How much will the show cost, and how expensive will it get over the years?
3. How long will the show realistically run?
4. How much can the studio sell other areas of revenue, DVDs, merchandising, etc.?
A professional management, would know much indeed. It would know the success rate for each type of show, and each type of audience intended. Women are not fond of action-mostly shows, and men don't watch night-time soaps. It would know how much money would be spent, and how much money would be expected in return.
Proposals such as a Gay Star Trek, would be laughed out of the office. Writers and producers would not even pitch them, for fear of looking stupid. This seems like a monumentally stupid idea, therefore it is almost a lock to go into production.
No one knows anything because they are less motivated than a bar consultant to find out about their business. Who their customers are, what they want, and how much money each type generates. It is astonishing that Warners/DC has not copied Marvel's formula for exploiting, what must be admitted is second-class super-heroes. With a rich pantheon of demi-gods and mythological heroes, DC is making ... Deadman the series, on CW. Along with a flop-tastic Green Lantern, and Jonah Hex. With all that money, why hasn't there been a plan to have Christian Bale's Batman, a Superman, a Captain Marvel, a Doctor Fate, a Hawkman, a Green Lantern, a Flash, a Green Arrow, a Wonder Woman, and a Martian Manhunter team-up in a Justice League Movie? Or two?
Why? Because Warners/DC are run by a bunch of idiots. Meanwhile, Disney has largely left Marvel alone, to make decent to good superhero movies. Thor, Captain America, and the second Hulk movie were all acceptable to good comic book movies. Captain America may be the best of its genre. Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury shows up in all of them, along with the Iron Man movies, and fans are excited. Marvel is not doing anything difficult, and the formula is pretty cut and dried. Stick to the comic book origin and basics of the character. Choose an actor over a physique, and strike a long-term deal. Use good actors in all the roles, don't skimp on support. Treat the script with respect, don't camp or joke it up. Deliver meat and potatoes and the fans will show up -- there is a reason these characters have lasted for in some cases more than half a century. Their creators knew what they were doing -- just don't screw it up.
Nope. Instead we'll get a Gay Star Trek. To match the Gay Christ Allegory of Superman Returns. It will fail, miserably. And execs will say, no one watches sci-fi on TV anymore. Let's do another soap opera.

You mention baseball as using money ball in selecting players. As football fan, I'd like to remind you that the Dallas Cowboys were doing something similar in late 60s and 70s under Tom Landry with computers. There similar policies regarding the draft and acquisition of players is one reason they earned the moniker "America's Team". Your also right that more businesses of any type should be doing money ball analysis to aid in success.

BSG II had prominent gay characters? I can't think of any at all, much less prominent ones. Of course, there may have been some, but the tone of the series was definitely heterosexual.

BBC receives complaints that Torchwood is 'too gay'
A spin off of Dr Who that is said (by friends who care about Dr Who) to have become sex-positive..
The gay writer has been adding (his preferred flavour of) sex to what had been a (geeky) family suitable sci-fi series.
Since the original Dr Who until the last few years (so 50+ years of shows), sex was not relevant, not interesting, but hey get a gay writer and all of a sudden you get naked gay sex scenes as a necessary part of a kid's sci-fi show...
I know Kirk had a liking for a bit of exotic action, but somehow they managed to make a clasic series with any visible sex.
Leave 'it' out, 'it' is not relevant.

There was a Justice League movie, to be directed by George Miller of Mad Max fame. It was cancelled, apparently over concern for high costs.
People in Hollywood- even or especially the producers- think they are srtists, and would die before they tried to figure out and make what people wanted to see.

I was a huge fan of the BSG revival in its early days, having never seen one episode of the original. I thought it was something original and fresh for its time, even though it seems to have copied The Shield's camera style. The movie and the first 2 seasons had great storylines. As the series went on though, they moved away from the series original military, sam peckinpah influences as Ron Moore started hiring writers like Jane Espensen who were more interested in character arcs that went nowhere, bullshit political rent seeking and overacting that just drove the series into the ground.
The first 2 seasons were good precisely because they contained character arcs nestled within a storyline: Attack a heavily defended base without the aid of an aircraft carrier which gives the characters their own mini-triumphs and defeats.
None of that in the later seasons, just soap opera weepy boo hoo poor me storylines.

Remember that Torchwood was a gay extension of Dr Who because hte producers wouldn't let the main line development of Dr who be killed by it.
Same thing happened with the stargate series with Universe. The only "healthy" stable relationship in the series was the lesbian and her "wife". Even in one of the alternate future universes, when everyone is settling down and pairing up for the long term, the Lesbian seems to have plenty of hotties to date, but just doesn't "click" with any of them.
In both, the story was a home run. The writting, acting and production was top rate and the homosexuality did not contribute to the story, but had to be included anyway for some reason.
While we are at it, lets not forget the other gay attempts in star trek. In Deep space, you had the dax's still loving previous partners. In Next Gen you had Riker putting the moves on some kind of "third gender" thing with customary tut-tutting about sexual morality being totally arbitrary.
Go ahead and kill another promising series before it even gets off the ground.

If the object of the story is to attract male hetero viewers, you can forget the gay storylines. Blame it on whatever you want, homosexual stories don't jive with young male viewers because they can't place themselves in that character's shoes. They won't watch it by themselves or with their girlfriends or wives, no matter how much pizzazz and edginess you insert into it.
They want james bond, superman and batman, not the midnighter and apollo.

One last word on BSG, since I'm watching NatGeo's 9/11 interview with George Bush. Notice the first season's no nonsense military/civic dynamism like the hugo award winning first episode where Lee Adama blows up a civilian ship giving off radiation alarms on the orders of the president. He has issues with that later with both his father and the president that he resolves with the successful mission on the asteroid and the season finale. His father the commander tells him he's not interested in navel gazing, "leave that to the historians"
Compare that with the absolutely boring, navel-gazing soap opera courtroom trial in season 3 of the pseudo-saddam hussein, pseudo-jesus, pseudo-petain..zzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Did anyone care about any non-Ferengi, Changeling or Cardassian characters on Deep Space Nine (except when they were love interests or sidekicks of Ferengi or Cardassians)?
I've never met anyone who did? It's all "Odo that," "Quark this," "Plain Simple Garak" that, "Gul Ducat this" or even "Rom that." All the other characters were bit players.
Well, except for villains like Weyoun, everyone likes him too.

This whole post kind of pisses on your oh-so-oft repeated theme that Hollywood only gives its audiences what they want. The reality is that Hollywood has an agenda that they push as much as they can, even at the risk of financial failure. They don't put these things on because there's been a failure at bean-counting, they do it because they seethe with a racist hatred of traditional white America and want to destroy it. That's what attracts them to the business in the first place, and if they can make a little money off their holocaust victims while destroying them, well so much the better.

transformers series, michael bay movies in general, star wars 1-3, jurrassic park series, all seem to have been made specifically with money in mind, we know they make more money off of merchandising from a lot of movies. I think there is moneyball style thinking more than you let on, but they cripple themselves by insisting on pc preaching

The problem with Torchwood (and other BBC series such as Dr Who, Spooks, etc) is not the gay sex but the emotional incontinence of the characters. You know they're about to kick off as soon as the minor chords come in. Instead of having commercial breaks the BBC has emotional beakdown breaks where the characters start crying and talking about their feelings. And they expect us to pay a license fee for this drivel...
- August 31, 2011 at 5:55 PM
The reason it won't take off is because as campy as the original Star Trek was the characters displayed noble qualities, were for the most part selfless and they all had a higher purpose that was direction of the story telling. People like Captain Kirk because he was(acting opinions aside) a great captain and leader of the enterprise, Spock, regardless of being a Vulcan, was a great 1 st mate and loyal officer and friend to Kirk, same with Bones, same with Scotty, same with the rest of the main crew. The point is, each episode always dealt with an issue the Enterprise experienced as a whole and figured out how to resolve it together. Drama and emotional stuff was always experienced as part of the problem that needed to be solved for all of the Enterprise as a whole and every one on the ship put it first. You didn't have 30 little over emotional, over dramatic little character side stories that constantly pulled away from the main story. When someone watches a fantasy story, its precisely because they want to be pulled away from reality, drawn into an intriguing story, with heroes, villains, problem, solution. Not over developed characters that do nothing to enhance the story. If people want that kind of drama then watch reality television. The all about me in every show on television has created character based writing instead of great story telling. I would say people want to see characters that add to a central plot, theme. NOT character stories, that's for day time soaps and drama TV. I could care less about gay characters, straight characters that are only focused on themselves, and bring on the great captains, the great aliens, the great confrontations, the great plots. Then they will have great shows again.

4. equal life outcomes aka "equality"amongst race

This whole post kind of pisses on your oh-so-oft repeated theme that Hollywood only gives its audiences what they want.
It's a stupid theme. How TF is Hollywood supposed to be ad-driven? There aren't any ads, for Chrissakes!
Yet Hollywood pushes PC-multiculti at least as hard as TV does. TV has to be more family-friendly.
If Hollywood is as concerned with giving people what they want as Whiskey pretends, where's the Christian entertainment? Where's the follow-up to Passion? Why'd they try to kill Passion? Where's the follow-up to 300?
The simple fact is, Hollywood has money-making as a primary agenda, and Ashkenazi interests as secondary. Sometimes secondary interests trump primary interests. Sometimes they're indistinguishable. E.g., how do you separate the two when considering whether to give control of Hollywood to another ethnicity? Kinda hard to make money when someone else takes over your business.
The reality is that Hollywood has an agenda that they push as much as they can, even at the risk of financial failure. They don't put these things on because there's been a failure at bean-counting, they do it because they seethe with a racist hatred of traditional white America and want to destroy it.
Indeed, though I'd characterize the motivation differently. They want to pass Hollywood on to their grandchildren. Kinda hard to do that if you don't keep indoctrinating America into submission, into fearing looking behind the curtain.

Absolutely not. Science aside (anybody who pays attention to innovation knows that medicine & genetics will yield results over the coming centuries that make Star Trek look really silly in hindsight), the most implausible aspect of Star Trek is the demographics.
Given several centuries of fully-embraced kumbayah PC (impossible, but that's Star Trek's premise), NO, the demographics of Starfleet will not resemble the demographics of 1960s-2010 America. They will resemble Brazil. No, the crew of the Enterprise would not be 65% White. Hell, they wouldn't even be 65% human.
The demographics of Star Trek show perfectly that people don't want you telling them they'll be race-replaced out of existence by your policies. The demographics of Star Trek are an outright lie, a dose of morphine to get the patient on the table for his vivisection.

Svigor, Hollywood in TV is very much ad-supported, excepting HBO/Cinemax/Showtime. The TV studios subsidize the movie-making (most of the profitability of the studios comes from TV production, sales, syndication, and the like).
That's the bread and butter, The WSJ reports that
"Casablanca" was shot at the Warner Bros. studio lot here, as were "Rebel Without a Cause" and "Million Dollar Baby." But while movies may confer glamour and prestige, it's television that pays the bills.
"Movies come in and they're like a rich visiting uncle, but we know where our bread is buttered," says Jon Gilbert, president of Warner Bros. Studio Facilities.

Further, I'll add that movies themselves are either male-oriented (cheap horror/slasher flicks, cheap gross out comedies, expensive action/comic book/adventure flicks) or female oriented (cheap, chick flicks).
The need to appeal to a female audience drives a lot of PC. Meanwhile pushing PC is self-defeating. A massive Mexican population with little money means ... well it means Eli Roth finding "Hostel" sold in pirate DVDs outside his Mexico City hotel room for 25 cents. Poor Mexicans don't pay much for entertainment. They certainly don't pay full theatrical price when they can wait six months and get a pirate DVD, and they don't watch much of the films Hollywood likes to make and is good at. Not too many Mexicans at SWPL films like Sideways or Little Miss Sunshine.
Hollywood consistently leaves money on the table. Brad Thor's and Vince Flynns' books both outsell the Dragon Tattoo books (by Stieg Larsson) but Hollywood has not touched them. There have been no feel-good "kill the Jihadi" movies made despite there being an ample audience for it, meanwhile every comic book writer and movie director/screenwriter wants to copy failed "Watchmen" because it hits their own views (Heroes bad, Western society bad, etc.)
William Goldman says in Hollywood nobody knows anything, but back in Mogul Days they did. Louis B. Mayer, Jack Warner, made picture after picture that made money, because it was their money on the line and they made the profit or took the loss directly. Now, because studios cheat constantly on residuals, no actor, director, writer, producer expects anything less and gets paid UPFRONT. So they care not a whit if the film fails or is a hit. They get paid the SAME either way.

The only people who really "get it" and give the audience what they want are the writer-producers in Hollywood like Chuck Lorre who own substantially their own shows and thus profit from it. Other folks are just guns for hire, they don't even own their own shows, and get paid a salary that is fixed, if their show is a massive hit or a big failure.
The blogger Furious D noted this first, that Hollywood's payment structure by not giving honest ownership/action to the creative people guarantees the kind of "make stuff to get your next job from insiders" agenda. Your Hollywood director, writer, actor, and producer are not there to make money by producing a hit, but to get their next job by proving their bonafides to insiders. That means being reliable, dependable, insurable, and having the correct (self-defeating to be sure) opinions of who the enemy is: the audience that buys tickets and DVDs.
- September 11, 2011 at 10:46 PM
Svigor, Hollywood in TV is very much ad-supported, excepting HBO/Cinemax/Showtime.
I don't even know what that means. Hollywood makes money by selling movies and the associated merch. TV makes money (subscriptions aside) by selling advertisements.
The TV studios subsidize the movie-making (most of the profitability of the studios comes from TV production, sales, syndication, and the like).
This seems to be a weaselly way of saying that movies don't make money. But of course, they do. The fact that movie producers have figured out that opaque accounting practices make them more money is neither here nor there; it is not license for you to make whatever political argument you like.

The need to appeal to a female audience drives a lot of PC.
Potato, potato. I see the needs of the producers as driving PC. This agrees far better with the slow boiling the frog approach we've seen over the last 50 years than your theory does. It's not about what the audience wants to see (if you want to know what the audience wants to see, look at what remains CONSTANT about the content being produced, not what is CONSTANTLY CHANGING), it's about what they're willing to put up with. It's only possible to "nudge the polls," as it were, a few points in any given direction. Over time, this leads to significant change.
If it were really just about appealing to the female nature, we'd have seen a big correction all at once, years ago, as producers figured out what women wanted and gave it to them. Not a slow boiling of the frog.
Your theory makes no sense. I think it's overpraise to even call it a theory.

(covers information from several alternate timelines)
Richard Robau was a Starfleet officer, and captain of the USS Kelvin in 2233. His first officer was George Kirk, father of James T. Kirk.
Alternate reality Edit
In the alternate reality created by Nero's temporal incursion in 2233, the Kelvin came under attack by the Romulan mining vessel Narada, immediately upon the Narada's emergence from a black hole. After the Narada inflicted heavy damage on the Kelvin, Ayel, Nero's second-in-command, ordered Robau to board a shuttlecraft and travel to the Narada for negotiations. Realizing that he had no choice but to comply, Robau placed Kirk in command, ordering him to evacuate the crew if he did not report in fifteen minutes.
On the Narada, Robau was questioned by Ayel as to his familiarity with Ambassador Spock and the vessel Spock had been piloting. When Robau professed his unfamiliarity with Spock, Ayel demanded to know the current stardate. Upon learning that they had inadvertently become stranded 154 years in the past, Nero became infuriated, violently killed Robau with a bladed weapon in his possession, and immediately resumed the attack on the Kelvin. (Star Trek)
Appendices Edit
Background information Edit
Richard Robau was portrayed by actor Faran Tahir. His first name comes from official production material, including his dossier profile on the official movie site, although the novelization gives his name as "Pierre Robau". A display monitoring his life signs in the film displays the name "Capt. R. Robau".
According to his profile on Intel's Starfleet Shipyard site, Robau was born in Sagua La Grande, Cuba, and his Starfleet Service Number is SA-476-2549-CM.
Robau was named after the Cuban-born uncle of Star Trek co-writer and executive producer Roberto Orci. [1] According to Orci, he had imagined Robau being born in Cuba and raised in the Middle East. [2]
The 2013 virtual collectible card battle game Star Trek: Rivals listed him on card #75, Captain R. Robau.
Apocrypha Edit
- The novelization erroneously gives his first name as Pierre.
- In Issue 14 of IDW Publishing's Star Trek: Ongoing series, Robau is revealed to have made first contact with the Roylans, along with Lieutenant commander George Kirk and Alnschloss K'Bentayr.

Dierks Bentley Helps Injured Country Singer Nick Malloy Out of Sedation
Earlier this week, Dierks Bentley let his fans know about his good buddy, up-and-coming country singer Nick Malloy, who was seriously injured in a car accident near Macon, Ga. The 23-year-old spent time in surgery and was still hospitalized on Thursday when his family turned on CMT.
According to Matt Malloy's Twitter page, the singer was just beginning to wake up from the sedation and responded when Bentley's 'Home' music video came on the television. "@NickMalloy is starting to wake up from his sedation, mom had cmt on & @DierksBentley came on & mom said nick its dierks & nick blinked," he shared. Matt, presumably the young singer's brother, added that the stir was "one of Nick's first movements" that day.
Bentley further expressed his sympathies upon hearing the news. "@Mmalloy8 that is great news dude. me and all the guys have been pretty messed about nick. let's us know if we can help in anyway." Bentley had just seen Malloy at a show days before the scary accident on I-75.
WMAZ reports that Malloy fell asleep at the wheel around 2AM and woke up as his car was sliding off the road. He overcorrected his vehicle, veered down an embankment and hit a culvert, which caused the car to flip before hitting two small trees. He's said to be recovering at the Medical Center of Central Georgia.

FAYETTEVILLE –BJ Young missed the Razorbacks' final exhibition game and will miss Friday's season opener against Sam Houston State.
Prior to Monday's game against LeMoyne-Owen, Arkansas coach Mike Anderson announced the sophomore guard would miss two games for "a violation of team rules."
"I hold my players to a high standard both on and off the court," Anderson said. "BJ fell short of those standards and as a result has been suspended for two games. He will continue to practice and be a part of all team activities during the suspension."
Young was selected as a preseason All-SEC member and led the Razorbacks with 15.3 points per game last season.
