College football recruiting has changed dramatically since Shane Bullough went through the process nearly 30 years ago.
For starters, players are evaluated at a much earlier age.
Bullough's oldest son, Max, committed to Michigan State in the fall of his junior year.
His second son, Riley, committed to Michigan State after his junior year and will make it official today when he signs his national letter-of-intent.
Their decisions were sealed before they stepped on the football field for their senior seasons.
For Shane, a 1983 graduate of Cincinnati Moeller, the recruiting process was just beginning his senior year.
Back then, college coaches often waited to contact recruits late in their junior year or the summer before their senior year.
And there was not a lot of hype surrounding it. There was no internet, no major recruiting services like today.
Summer camps, where coaches often evaluate players now, existed, but with a much different perspective.
"I would go to camp as part of our family vacation," Bullough said. "Dad (Henry) was an NFL football coach when I was growing up, so he would have three weeks off in late June and part of July. We would always go up to the U.P. to Northern Michigan (University) and go to a camp that my dad and a lot of his friends — George Perles; Buck Nystrom; Charlie McBride, who was at Nebraska; and all the Northern coaches — would coach at.
"We would go there to get coached up. It had nothing to do with recruiting."
One rule that hasn't changed is that recruits can still take up to five visits. It was common back in Bullough's playing days to take all five. He visited Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan, Penn State and Georgia.
"That was the year Penn State and Georgia were getting ready to play in the national championship game," he said.
Bullough's father, who coached at Michigan State during the glory days of the 1960s, offered advice, but let his son make his own decision.
At the time, Henry Bullough was the defensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals. He took the job just before Shane's sophomore year in high school.
"The previous seven years we were in Massachusetts because my father was with New England," he said "That was different football than at Moeller. I basically went from a place where we didn't have football until our freshman year to Cincinnati, which to this day is still one of the best football areas in the country. It was quite a shock. It was tremendous. I loved it. I was cut out for it."
Gerry Faust, who went on to coach at Notre Dame, was at Moeller for Bullough's sophomore season. By the time he was a senior, Bullough had garnered All-American honors and was recruited by some of the nation's top programs. His recruitment, though, took a turn when Michigan State hired Perles.
"He (Perles) called Pat Shurmur and I — and we debate who got the first call — right after he got the job," Bullough said. "I always liked State, but I grew up around pro football. I was pretty open. My dad never pushed me one way or the other.
"But when coach Perles got the job at State, he literally was like an uncle to me — and still is. Then Buck Nystrom — Uncle Buck — was going there, too. I knew where I needed to go and where I wanted to go. I wanted to be around the people I grew up with."
Max and Riley are following in their father's footsteps at Michigan State. They had options, too, and in the end it was their decision.
"My wife and I think it's kind of your first big grown-up decision that you're going to be making," Bullough said. "It needs to be your decision so you don't look back later and say, 'If my parents would have just let me go to school X I would have been a lot happier.' They've got to be all in and they have to make the decision."
Max and Riley could have let the process drag on and picked up more offers. Riley already had three Big Ten offers. Iowa was recruiting him as a safety, Wisconsin as an athlete, Michigan State as an outside linebacker.
Like his brother, he decided not to wait.
"I'm proud of both them that that wasn't the biggest issue (picking up more offers)," their father said. "Once you know the place you want to go, go ahead and commit and get on board with that university.
"That's what they did."

Cheers: To Altoona sculptor Chuck LaMark who, unsatisfied with his water-based clay statue of former Monkees frontman Davy Jones, which he unveiled Saturday in Beavertown, will try again with an oil-based clay version to be presented in the borough during 2014; to the 30 competitors who participated in the first Beaver Bed Races as part of the Jones' festival; to Jones' four daughters, who traveled from California and England to attend Saturday's festivities; and to the crowd of 250 that made Saturday one of the more memorable days the tiny borough has experienced.
Jeers: To Selinsgrove Mayor Sean "Two Sides" Christine for looking at his borough's order to tear down a child's tree house and seeing Switzerland. Town zoning laws that govern accessory structures have pitted officialdom against an 11-year-old whose dad wanted to build her a playhouse on a stump that grew in the setback portion of their front yard. When queried for his thoughts, Hizzoner allowed, remarkably, as how he could "see both sides." Well, yea-ah. But every now and then (except in Switzerland) we need to pick one side and work to see it through -- especially if we have campaigned for and been elected to community leadership.
Cheers: To Northumberland County Republican Commissioner Rick Shoch for taking time to research better solutions to Northumberland County's prison crowding problems. Shoch was among a group of local officials touring Union County's new day reporting center, which is designed as a diversion from jail time for qualified inmates. As Northumberland County looks to deal with and possibly replace its troubled and ancient prison, it is good to see an elected county leader scouting for better solutions to increasingly expensive and unsolved problems.
Cheers: To emergency medical technicians and a Mifflinburg Community Pool lifeguard, who Wednesday night saved the life of a 5-year-old boy who was seen floating face-down and motionless. Fortuitously, 10 EMTs were in an adjacent park for the borough's annual safety fair. They resuscitated the boy, who was responsive and talking, and taken to a local hospital. "No one was going to drown with all these EMTs here," said one EMT.

The M12 Force Application Vehicle, more commonly known as the Warthog or simply the Hog, is a United Nations Space Command ground vehicle.[2][4] Due to its versatility, the base M12 platform lends itself to many variants, the most ubiquitous model fielded by the UNSC Defense Force being the M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle, which is equipped with a turret-mounted machine gun for a basic defensive capability.

The M12 FAV Warthog is the UNSC's primary ground vehicle, used for its scouting and reconnaissance capacity, or as an integral part of a mechanized infantry unit; the M12 has been a part of the UNSC's armored vehicle fleet for fifty years, and is the most recognizable vehicle in their arsenal. It is a highly mobile, all-wheel-drive, all-wheel-steering, hydrogen-injected ICE-powered vehicle equipped with a manual transmission.[4]
Design details[edit]
The M12 is a four-wheel all-terrain vehicle capable of going over any obstacle without difficulty; under the hood the M12's power is generated by a forward-housed low-profile liquid-cooled hydrogen-injected ICE I/C plant, coupled with an automatic infinitely variable transmission (IVT).[5] The hydrogen fuel is burned at very high temperature with a synthetic carbon/silicon catalyst to achieve even better fuel consumption. This hydrogen engine is the standard among all UNSC ground (and most air) based vehicles, replacing fossil fuel-based engines some 400 years ago. The M12 features a Graf/Hauptman solar/saline actuator, and will convert up to twelve liters of fresh, brackish or salt water into hydrogen on the fly. Detritus from the process is compacted on board and disposed of manually by the crew. This allows the Warthog to travel 790 kilometers or 490 miles before it needs to be refueled, a range that can be easily extended by the addition of any container capable of holding liquid. Older models boast a fully independent swing-arm suspension system and four in-hub wheel motors.[6]
The M12 is a huge, unwieldy, difficult to steer vehicle – until a user learns how to drive it properly. With proper application of the hand, or "e-brake" the M12 can actually turn on a dime. Massive disc brakes and its automatic braking systems allow the vehicle to come to a near immediate, but controlled stop should the driver be ejected, or choose to leave the vehicle. The Warthog's tires have moved away from previous inert-gas pocket inflation with far more resilient and superior burst-proof single unit nanotube skeletons. They provide the buoyancy and ride of gas-pocket tires, but are almost indestructible, allowing the M12 to easily roll through situations that would leave other vehicles disabled and vulnerable. The relatively massive tires are a joint project between Michelin-Vance and AMG.[6]
The M12's design places it into the jeep family of vehicles; it has no doors and has a total seating of two or three in the base model. The M12's description as a "force application vehicle" is spectacularly accurate; the M12 has both offensive and defensive capabilities, as well as intel gathering and supply transport and practically any other task that can be accomplished by a wheeled vehicle. The M12 can be configured to become a troop carrier, armament carrier, ambulance, reconnaissance vehicle, or communications vehicle. All M12-based vehicles are designed to travel both on and off-road, in all weather conditions.[4]
2554 model[edit]
The 2554 model of the Warthog entered service in late 2552.[7] Unlike the models used throughout the Human-Covenant War, the 2554 model uses a swing-axle system, a redesigned transmission and drive shafts, and constant-velocity joints.[6] This version features a more angular body style, utility bars over the hood and around the bed, and several other largely cosmetic changes. Newer Warthogs typically carry several Jerrycans filled with water to be rendered into hydrogen for the engine.[5]
The M12 is the workhorse of light infantry ground vehicles, is adaptable to almost any situation, and is arguably the most customizable vehicle in the military's fleet similar to jeeps used in the 20th century. It is able to reach top speeds of 125km/h (78 MPH) and, more importantly, swings around rapidly to allow the gunner a better angle on a prospective target. The mounted M41 chain gun can cut down heavily armored infantry within seconds, as well as shielded infantry. With enough controlled fire from the 12.7X99mm armor-piercing rounds, the M41 can easily rip through the armor of a Covenant Ghost and destroy it. The Warthog's titanium armor, though light, is tough enough to take at least one fragmentation grenade and can withstand small amounts of energy weapon fire. It also makes for a formidable scout and transportation vehicle, able to make a smooth getaway or rapid infiltration if needed.
Due in part to its speed, the M12 is prone to roll over. It is vital that the driver can get in and out of dangerous situations without flipping the hard-to-right vehicle. The open nature of the Warthog always puts its driver and passengers at risk as a good marksman can easily take down the driver or passengers of the M12. A well thrown frag grenade can flip a Warthog, which will knock the driver and passenger out of the vehicle. Although the armor of the M12 is tough, a couple of direct hits from frag grenades, rounds from a sniper rifle, a well placed rocket or a lucky plasma grenade stick will destroy it immediately. Covenant heavy energy weapons are the biggest threat to the Warthog; a short burst from a Banshee's light plasma cannons is deadly, able to melt and punch through the armor with ease and kill the occupants. The Warthog is also vulnerable to the Banshee's Fuel Rod Gun which can reduce the vehicle to twisted charred metal with one strike. Infantry plasma weapons can inflict moderate damage, and, like all vehicles, can be rendered temporarily or permanently inoperable by a hit from an overcharged Plasma Pistol. In Halo: Reach and Halo 4, the M41 and M46 (respectively) LAAGs are prone to overheating, which requires the person operating the weapon to use it in short bursts. Failing to operate the weapon carefully will leave the operator vulnerable as they wait for the machine gun to cool down.[8]
The M12 Warthog can be configured for various roles: examples include the M831 TT, which eliminates the support weapon in favor of four side-facing passenger seats; the M864A, with an enclosed passenger compartment and treads in place of wheels; or the M914 RV, equipped with a towing winch and a heavy duty motor and gear system, armament carrier, ambulance, or communications vehicle. All M12-based vehicles in service with the UNSC are designed to travel both on- and off-road, and in all weather conditions.
Other models[edit]
- M864 Arctic
The M864 Arctic is camouflaged and outfitted specifically for expeditions in the Arctic.[3] It can be found exclusively on the Halo 3 Legendary map, Avalanche.
- M868 Tropic
The M868 Tropic is camouflaged and equipped specifically for tropical expeditions.[3]
- M914 Recovery Vehicle
The M914 RV is a faster, stripped down version of the Warthog, built for troop and equipment recovery.[3]
Gameplay tactics[edit]
- It is recommended for the player to be accompanied by an AI gunner. Also, as they are programmed in the game, have excellent accuracy and, in most situations, can quickly eliminate enemy infantry and vehicles almost without fail.
- It is often advised for the player to switch Warthogs if they see a heavier-armed Warthog (i.e. Gauss, Rocket) as they would provide a more lethal method to eliminate the enemy personnel and vehicles.
- Take care when using the Warthog against other vehicles on Legendary. Without any heavily-armed passengers, the enemy AIs can kill the player easily. It is advised to have the passenger to be equipped with a Rocket Launcher or a Spartan Laser.
- The Warthog is the second strongest vehicle for ramming a Shade Turret.
- With a gunner, the Warthog is very effective against Ghosts, but still weak against Choppers.
- Do not slow down when driving the Warthog. A slow Warthog can become an easy prey to hijacking and can be quickly be destroyed with explosives.
- Always remind the gunner to focus on the enemy vehicle's gunner instead of the driver. This will eliminate any counter-offensive and make it easier to eliminate the enemy vehicle.
- The M12 is very versatile vehicle; it can evade explosives rounds fired by the enemy if the driver is experienced with the vehicle (using the hand-brake) and the terrain (avoiding locked-on missiles with a scenery object). For example, an experienced driver could avoid a grenade explosion by skidding around the grenade instead of going straight over it.
- The Warthog is not the best vehicle to engage head on with a tank. Should the players find it necessary to remove the threat, it is advised to utilize an anti-armor Warthog instead of the anti-infantry Warthog. Additionally, flanking the tank as to diverting its attention would provide a window of opportunity for the anti-armor Warthog to destroy the tank.
- Unless absolutely necessary, do not use the turret without a driver. A gunner in a stationary Warthog is more easily exposed to attacks than those in a moving Warthog; one such instance is that a gunner can be quickly eliminated by sniper fire. It is reasonable in a Gauss turret due to its lethal power, but change positions often or the player could be easily overwhelmed.
- It is very tempting to splatter enemies with the Warthog. However, do not attempt to do so as the Warthog would be more likely be susceptible to a Plasma Grenade stick. In some cases, the Warthog could fall prey to a heavily-armed opponent.
- Warthog can be used as effective entrance jammers. Additionally, it is often recommended for the driver to drive the Warthog in an irregular behavior when circling around an enemy base.
- In most maps, for example "Blood Gulch", the map has some road like trenches in it, driving on these is highly recommended as this makes flipping less likely and the sides give the player some cover from enemy attack.
Halo Wars[edit]
In Halo Wars, Warthogs are lightly armored, fast and nimble scout units. They are player's first unit and do not have any damage capability other than running things over. Along with infantry units, they can be used to collect discovered resource crates. A Warthog cost 150 resources to construct at the command center and a unit takes up one population.
- Gunner: 250 resources and requires a tech level of one. Adds a M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun, giving them combat capabilities.
- Grenadier : 500 resources and requires a tech level of two. Adds a grenadier armed with a XM510 Multishot Grenade Launcher.
- Gauss Cannon: 800 resources and requires a tech level of three. Replaces the M41 LAAG with a M68 ALIM.
UNSCDF personnel remarks[edit]
- "It's [the M12] sort of a bear to wheel around, but that's something you gotta expect – the thing is twice the size of my granddad's car – but it's something you get used to pretty damned quick."
- "On the battlefield speed is life and the M12 has that in spades – having a great big damn gun don't hurt, either."
- "One word: handbrake."
- "I have yet to come up against an obstacle that the Warthog couldn't go right over."
- "The Sarge hates it when we ram stuff, says the 'Hog ain't indestructible. But it sure feels like it when you're plowing through a crowd of startled Grunts, though."
- "The seats are unreal! I was thinking of pulling a set out of a parts vehicle and shipping them home...but the wife shut it down – says everyone would be able to tell where they came from."
- "Look at these legs – pretty nice, huh? It's totally from getting in and out'a the 'Hog's thirty-six inch damn step height."
Production notes[edit]
- The Warthog was originally going to be a Humvee-like vehicle in the early stages of development of Halo: Combat Evolved.[9]
- WETA Workshop, based in New Zealand, built a two-third-scale, operating Warthog. It has several numbers on it, some possibly pertaining to that specific model or maybe even that specific Warthog, including, but not limited to, 5c8611, N/AAV-20 (a lable similar to the M/AAV-20 that can be seen on the Halo Reach-era Warthog), and others. WETA's Warthog is almost accurate in every function, including a "working" minigun, four-wheel steering, digital displays, air bags, and the ability to "crab crawl". Stamps portraying the number and type of Covenant troops killed can be seen on the dash. This Warthog is featured in the Halo: Landfall live-action film series.[10]
- Some Bungie employees were given the chance to drive WETA Workshop's Warthog. Three members of the Bungie team were driving the Warthog around a parking lot when they scraped the side of it on a small wooden structure built onto the side of a wall.[11]
- During Halo 2's development, Bungie considered creating more specialized warthog variants including arctic, transport, and jungle models. The first two models were later featured in Halo 3 as the M864 Arctic and the M831 Troop Transport, respectively, while the latter model was named in the Halo Encyclopedia as the M868 Tropic.
- A warthog is a wild member of the pig family that lives in Africa, in keeping with the UNSC's tradition of naming ground-based vehicles after real animals, with the exceptions of the Cyclops and Gremlin, which are named after mythical creatures.
- A remote-controlled toy Warthog was one of the first Xbox 360 Avatar accessories available after the August 11, 2009 dashboard update that introduced Avatar accessories. It is available from the Xbox Live Avatar shop for 320 Microsoft Points, under Halo 3: ODST-themed accessories.
- In Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo: Reach, the Warthog's tires are printed with the word PUMA. This is a reference to an episode of Red vs Blue's in which Simmons and Grif argue with Sarge about whether to call the vehicle a Puma or Warthog.
- The Halo 4 Warthog is featured in Forza Motorsport 4.[12] It is not drivable in game, though it appears in the Autovista mode where players can examine various details of the cars. The Warthog descriptions feature narration by Cortana. It is unlocked by unlocking all other non-DLC cars in Autovista.[13] The developers considered adding the Warthog as a drivable vehicle, but due to Forza's focus on technical accuracy, the Warthog would have been difficult to implement due to its large size, unusual 4-wheel drive mechanics, unusual tires, and the various fictional technologies employed.[14]
- As stated in its Forza depiction, multiple Warthogs are still operational after the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn's crash in Requiem. [15]

Voters in the Ypsilanti and Willow Run school districts have approved consolidation of the districts. Washtenaw Intermediate School District Superintendent Scott Menzel discusses what's next with WEMU's David Fair.
A crowd of about 30 people attended last night's public forum on the proposed consolidation of the Willow Run and Ypsilanti school districts. WEMU's Bob Eccles reports on the last of these meetings before voters decide the issue November 6th.
Most may not be old enough to vote, but a majorityof students at one Ypsilanti school appear to support the proposed Ypsilanti-Willow Run schools consolidation. Hear more from WEMU's Andrew Cluley.
If you're interested in serving on a consolidated Ypsilanti-Willow Run school board, the Washtenaw Intermediate School District is taking applications. Hear more from WEMU's Bob Eccles.
Ypsilanti and Willow Run voters will decide in November whether their school districts should merge. As WEMU's Bob Eccles reports, it looks like the process of getting the word out about the proposed consolidation will kick into high gear in October.
The Ypsilanti school board last night had a rather animated if un-official discussion on whether to press the Washtenaw Intermediate School District for details on what a consolidated Ypsilanti and Willow Run school district might lo0k like. WEMU's Bob Eccles has more.
The Willow Run and Ypsilanti Boards of Education have agreed to put a consolidation question before district voters in the November general election. WEMU's Bob Eccles provides a long-form report.
Some 50-people showed for Monday night's meeting on the draft unification plan for the Ypsilanti and Willow Run school districts. WEMU's Bob Eccles was among them.
The Collaboration and Communication Task Force that's been working out the particulars of consolidating the Ypsilanti and Willow Run School Districts rolled out its draft unification plan last week. As WEMU's Bob Eccles reports, the public has two chances this week to learn more about the plan, and offer up suggestions of their own.
The question of whether the Willow Run and Ypsilanti school districts should merge is one step closer to appearing on the fall ballot. WEMU's Bob Eccles has details.
Draft design plan for merging the Willow Run and
Ypsilanti School districts will be presented at a
public meeting tonight.

CHAMPLAIN — A Colombian man was arrested Saturday in the Town of Champlain for alleged possession of counterfeit money.
According to Chazy-based State police, Darinel Pimiento, 37, was apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at the Amtrak train station at approximately 4 p.m. after a search of his belongings revealed that he was in possession of two counterfeit $100 bills with the same serial number.
Pimiento, who had been working in Brooklyn, N.Y., on a visa, police said, had just returned to the United States from Montreal by train.
He was charged with one count of first-degree possession of a forged instrument, a felony, and arraigned in Town Court before Justice Favro at approximately 6 p.m.
Pimiento was remanded to Clinton County Jail on $5,000 bail or $10,000 bond and is scheduled to reappear in court with his attorney for a preliminary felony hearing at 5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 10.
PLATTSBURGH — A Champlain man was arrested Saturday for alleged criminal mischief.
According to Plattsburgh City Police, a warrant for the arrest of Christopher L. Brockway, 24, was issued after witnesses observed Brockway intentionally damaging a vehicle parked on Oak Street in Plattsburgh at 2:14 a.m. Friday, Dec. 21.
Brockway allegedly swung a golf club at a Chevy Cavalier, smashing the rear window of the vehicle.
He turned himself in to City Police at approximately 7 p.m. Saturday and was charged with third-degree criminal mischief, a felony.
Brockway was arraigned Sunday in City Court and is being held at Clinton County Jail on $250 bail or $500 bond.
He is scheduled to reappear in court at a later date.
SARANAC LAKE — A Paul Smiths woman was injured Saturday when her vehicle was struck by a plow.

The Bills spent time in Tuesday's practice working scout team plays vs. their starting units to get ready for Thursday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Coach Chan Gailey said it was largely because the Colts run a 4-3 defense, and the Bills' offense has faced mostly 3-4 looks all offseason. Washington, last week's opponent, played the 3-4.
"It's a totally different front for our offense. It's a four-man front as opposed to a three-man front. So we felt like just to give them a little bit of a chance this last day to maybe give them a look of what the Indy defense will be like. So we did that today. Then when you go on cards for the offense, the defense always cries and wants offensive plays to be run. So you give them those plays."

Pioneer's flagship receiver sets sail
Go beyond sound as you know it. Go beyond technology as you've ever experienced it before. Welcome to the world of Pioneer's Elite® SC09TX. A world dedicated to the pursuit of pristine audio. A world where advanced technology performs in perfect harmony with outstanding sound quality. A world where AIR Studio Sound Tuning ensures music is reproduced as close to its original sound as possible. It's a world so unbelievably crisp, so undeniably clear, and so completely pure, it will change the way you listen forever. Created to perform as the ultimate home theater A/V receiver, the incredible SC09TX reproduces multichannel HD audio so richly, so densely, and so completely engrossing that no conventional analog amplifier can even come close.
You need to get aboard
Brace yourself for a world with more connectivity, more control and more ways to enjoy your high definition entertainment. With abundant HDMI v1.3a (six in and two out) connectivity, HDMI digital video conversion, 1080p video scaling, advanced 192kHz sampling rate conversion, and advanced HD multizone custom installation. Pioneer engineers loaded this receiver with the most advanced digital signal processing available using dual SHARK EX + Freescale DSP engines, six Wolfson WM8741 D/A converters, and a Marvell Qdeo 88DE2710 digital video format converter. Developed in collaboration with ICEpower (the leader in Class-D analog amplifier design) and final sound tuning by AIR Studios sound engineers, the SC09TX combines unprecedented amplification with the highest definition A/V processing to take all of your music, movies, videos, and digital photos beyond the living room straight into uncharted territory. This receiver also gives you THX Ultra2 Plus certification with Loudness Plus, Dolby True HD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio decoders, Advanced MCACC room calibration, and a wide variety of soundfield enhancements for new digital sources like iPod, XM Satellite Radio XM-HD, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, and Home Media Gallery networking for A/V sources. And Pioneer puts you at the helm of all this technology with a front panel 5-inch LCD screen and learning remote control.
Raw digital power
Pioneer developed the SC09TX to deliver the absolute best-in-class high resolution audio reproduction. Current amplifier designs are no longer capable of handling the high power performance required for a memorable listening experience. Engineers realized that ICEpower's Class-D analog amplifier technology, when combined with AIR Studio's sound tuning technologies and Pioneer's advanced MCACC room calibration, results in a revolutionary new level of amplification previously found only in professional studios. The exclusive Direct Energy HD Amplifier provides a staggering drive capability that realizes true multichannel continuous power output (200W x 7 channels simultaneously) to achieve a level of surround sound performance with overwhelming accuracy and heart-pounding HD entertainment. The ICEpower amplifier boasts a unique design with raw digital power in a dense enclosure. By employing Pioneer DSP technology, the SC09TX can deliver precise sonic reproduction that goes beyond traditional audio capacity.
In a dense enclosure
The receiver's realistic sound quality is a result of a new professional build with premium, hand-selected parts that harnesses the amplification power. The result is an impressive chassis construction, which truly realizes the audio and video engineering prowess of the new Pioneer reference A/V receiver. For uncompromised high resolution audio playback performance, Pioneer engineers set out to develop a strong, rugged chassis build that could handle the powerful amplification without hindering sound quality. The revolutionary chassis construction rivals professional A/V products with its state-of-the-art modular build. The unique dual chassis Separated Power Block Design isolates digital, analog, audio, and video processing sections from amplification blocks and prevents internal interference between each block while improving the receiver's overall operation. Unlike any receiver before it, the SC09TX delivers the subtle nuances of delicate sounds with accuracy that audiophiles have been seeking. The ultra-rigid chassis separation brings the true excitement of HD film for videophiles that assures dynamic, smooth playback for high resolution products. While featuring maximum connectivity and a higher power output, the receiver's depth remains unchanged allowing it to fit easily on traditional A/V racks.
Superior components generate superior performance
As the first flagship A/V receiver in nearly three years, Pioneer engineers utilized hand-selected, professional-grade digital components, notably the renowned Wolfson 192kHz/24-bit DACs (digital analog converters). Praised by professional sound engineers, six Wolfson WM8741 DACs assure the prowess of Pioneer's flagship model. By including the industry's most superior sounding DACs, entertainment enthusiasts, notably audiophiles, will recognize the high performance capability only found with Pioneer's reference receiver. As the standard for image quality in the home theater continues to increase with the growth of display size, contrast, and resolution, it's imperative that video processing technologies stay one step ahead. By utilizing the Marvell 88DE2710 with Qdeo video processing, the SC09TX is able to deliver the highest quality HD experiences to very discriminating customers. Qdeo is designed to create a completely immersive viewing experience by rendering content in its most pristine form, without distractions, and without harming the image.
The tackles will make you cringe
As the popularity of 1080p home theater devices like flat panel televisions and Blu-ray Disc players grows, the Pioneer SC09TX is set to deliver the full impact of lossless DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD, and Dolby Digital Plus multichannel audio formats via HDMI. Internal decoding of these advanced audio formats provides audiophiles with the robust, vivid surround sound performance they demand. Video enthusiasts will appreciate the full impact these new audio codecs deliver to the viewing experience with rich, realistic sound that illustrates onscreen imagery. Sports fans will feel the impact of hard-hitting tackles and musicians can distinctly hear the acoustic guitar when enjoying concert discs. Pioneer continues to lead sound processing innovation by incorporating the world's finest technological features to deliver smooth, natural sonic performance The SC09TX is the first A/V receiver to feature an SRC (Sampling Rate Converter), a processor traditionally used in professional audio equipment for sound studios. The SRC is a key audio scaler that oversamples all audio signals to 192kHz creating accurate time information of a sound field for jitter-free playback.
THX isn't just for performace certification anymore
The SC09TX excels in surround sound reproduction not only because of its THX Ultra2 Plus audio performance assurance certification, but also because of a new integrated volume control technology developed by THX. Consumers can take advantage of THX Loudness Plus, a technology that assures an audio mix is reproduced with full details and natural sounds at any volume level. All movies, music, and games are mixed at a reference level in-studio that is often too loud for home theater playback; however, reducing volumes can jeopardize the entertainment experience. Featured in this Pioneer Elite receiver, home theater audiences can enjoy every audio nuance in movies, music, and other soundtracks with THX Loudness Plus, which maintains the integrity of soundtracks when listening below the reference level and giving the true entertainment impact regardless of volume setting.
Pioneer's not about to let your room ruin the experience
Pioneer's Advanced MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration) is a precise room tuning function that assures studio quality sound for an array of room configurations. With True One-Touch activation, the included MCACC microphone immediately begins optimizing the acoustics in a room, making subtle adjustments to the connected speakers, neutralizing the sound field of the primary listening area with meticulous fine-tuning. Sonic performance is unlike anything previously possible in home theaters. With new Full Band Phase Control technology, the SC09TX effectively eliminates phase lag caused by crossover networks inherent in loudspeakers, ensuring audio arrives at the listening position in sync for a whole new level in accurate multichannel sound reproduction.
Ready for iPods and for both SIRIUS and XM
Although the SIRIUS/XM Satellite Radio merger was approved, it's still going to be a while before there's a combined service. If you can't wait to have your favorite sports and personalities all in one place, Pioneer's SC09TX is ready for SIRIUS or XM, or both. On the receiver's back panel, there's an input for the SiriusConnect SCH1 antenna/tuner as well as an input for the XM Mini-Tuner that replaced the XM Connect & Play antenna/tuner. Each of these satellite hardware pieces is sold separately and neither is included with the SC09TX. Both satellite radio services require subscription and activation; fees apply. You can access and control either satellite radio device with the receiver's remote and on-screen display. Some XM channels are broadcast in Neural Audio XM HD 5.1 surround sound, for which the receiver has a built-in decoder. iPod users can navigate and select personalized music and video playlists with the SC09TX. The receiver supports LPCM audio transmission, via an included cable, for a more vivid and natural sound performance. Owners can control their personal digital player with the receiver's remote control and on-screen display. As a bonus for iPod fans, Pioneer incorporated an improved Front Stage Surround Advance 2.1-channel surround sound feature as well as Advanced Sound Retriever to process and improve the playback of compressed audio files including MP3, WMA, and iPod song lists to assure a premium listening experience from the wide variety of new digital audio formats common to PC and internet entertainment sources.
Don't leave your computer out of your home theater
With Pioneer's exclusive intergrated Home Media Gallery home networking IP capability, users can easily access and stream digital media files directly from their home PC or laptop computer for enjoyment in stunning high definition through the SC09TX receiver. Home Media Gallery is compliant with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), video from Windows or Apple computers, Windows Vista, Windows Media Connect, as well as Microsoft PlaysForSure DRM technology.

Conflict happens, says marketing expert Karyn Gavzer to a packed room of veterinarians at the Western Veterinary Conference.
Are you living your passion? It's a question that motivational speaker Gary Zelesky asked more than 350 veterinarians and team members today.
Orlando, Fla. — The majority of pet owners question the need for regular veterinary care.
The majority of pet owners question the need for regular veterinary care, study says.
National Report — Studies are in the works to determine the scope of heartworm resistance and are expected to be unveiled to the veterinary market in the next six months.
Baltimore — Veterinarians need to engage the public in dialogue about animal-welfare issues.
National Report — Bartonellosis: It's no longer considered a self-limiting disease, and for some people chronic infection can be as debilitating and hard to diagnose as Lyme disease.
National Report — Her medical battle with bartonellosis lasted for years. Ironically, it took a horse throwing her, fracturing her shoulder, for physicians to make an accurate diagnosis.
"We have a new mountain to climb," says Dr. Marty Becker, who headlined an evening session at CVC San Diego yesterday.

The Long, Long Trailer Release, Critiques
The Long, Long Trailer opened in New York City on December 31, 1953.
"A light comedy with a quantity of slapstick gags, this film works thanks to the stars' chemistry and Ball's timing," reports Tv Guide.
Film Analysis: I Really like Lucy on Wheels
By 1953, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz had been the hottest thing on tv thanks to I Really like Lucy, TV's highest-rate show at the time. In order to further capitalize on that recognition, genuine-life husband and wife Desi and Lucy boarded The Long, Lengthy Trailer, a movie sitcom based on wheels.
Desi Arnaz, a gambler with each his money and his tips, thought The Lengthy, Lengthy Trailer would go over properly. MGM executives weren't so positive, citing the fact that audiences could watch Lucy and Desi for free of charge on television. Desi then created a wager with the studio, betting ,000 that The Lengthy, Lengthy Trailer would gross much more at the box office than Father of the Bride (1950), the then existing champion in the comedy film genre. Desi won the bet.
I Enjoy Lucy fans will treasure this movie, as "Ricky" becomes "Nicky" and "Lucy" becomes "Tacy." Each tv stars appear very good up on the huge screen, with Marjorie Main and Keenan Wynn lending superb comic support. Add to that some stunning scenery of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and The Long, Lengthy Trailer becomes a charming travelogue/romantic comedy. But where the heck are Fred and Ethyl Mertz?

"You didn't let me finish. I was going to say 'turn proper here left,'" Tacy tells a confused Nicky.
Sounds like Tacy has some "splainin'" to do…

On Monday, December 17, Matthew A. Anderson, the actor playing Horton in Seussical, wrote a heartfelt letter to the cast and crew of the production. Matt wrote this letter in response to the tragedy that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School, describing how the arts can be a source of love and support during a difficult time. This letter also illustrates not only the bond between the actors in a production, but how the actors bond with the audience. Imagination Stage is delighted to have such wonderful people performing on our stage this holiday season and is also proud to have such amazing and supportive audiences, both kids and adults, for all of our productions.
Hi Friends -
I know it's Monday and we are supposed to be free of each other, but I can't shut off my mind today, and I wanted to send a note out.
I just wanted to take a few minutes and celebrate how our little production of Seussical fits into this mad world of ours. In the past two weeks, it seems like we have had our share of emotional experiences while performing this show....from the incredible experience of the sensory-friendly performance a week ago to an emotional weekend of performances this past weekend as we all reflected somewhere in our minds on the unfathomable tragic loss of 26 people (including 20 sweet children) in Connecticut last Friday. It seems at different turns in our show, the words and ideas of Dr. Seuss, written years ago, are applicable now more than ever before.
What I noticed through it all, especially this weekend, is the LOVE that each of you bring to what you do...both on stage and off. It started with Janet, George, and Karma in rehearsals, conveying a real sense of love and respect to each of us and the material itself...and that has transferred into what our show is bringing to people each and every day. (Except Mondays, naturally.) What their example has brought to us as a cast and crew is a sense of love and respect for each other, and that shows in the work we are doing.
Even on a weekend when everyone seemed to be falling apart physically or vocally, and when hearts and minds were turned to a national tragedy that was hard to wrap our minds around, I watched each of you share the love you have for this show with those sweet little faces that came to see us. And I saw it in turn with each of you who took part in "Meet the Audience" after the shows. And then I remembered back to last week with the sensory-friendly performance and realized I saw and felt the same thing then. Even more than that, when those situations got the best of me emotionally, especially during "Alone in the Universe" last week and "Solla Sollew" this weekend, I could FEEL that love that you all shared with the audience being shared with me. And that is the greatest gift a member of an ensemble can receive, I think.
I have reflected a lot on all of this the past couple of days...and I don't know how to explain it, and I don't know why it happens sometimes every so often with different shows, but what I know is that we are blessed to be in a situation like we are. I think the best thing we can do in our little corner of the world is spend the next three weeks sharing as much of the love we feel for each other and this show with the audiences who will come to see us...even when we're tired, or sore, or falling apart. The payoff is the sense of unity we share as a cast and crew in this show and into our lives beyond it. The payoff is the faces of the children who shyly and sometimes not so shyly come up to meet us, smile at us, hug us, and get pictures with us. The payoff is the parents who oft times have smiles and tears in their eyes as they thank us for what we've done.
And what have we done really? We've spent 90 full-throttle minutes with a group of people we love and respect, singing and dancing and telling a story about dreaming great dreams, acceptance, the power of friendship, and the importance of community. And we get to do it all - this thing that we love - with those who have chosen to spend a day with us in the audience. How blessed we are indeed.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for bringing what you do to this experience. What a gift Seussical has turned out to be!
May we continue to share this love and may we find new ways to share it into the new year!
And may we all enjoy sleeping in on Wednesday. But not TOO late.
With deepest love and respect -

I've been having some pretty intense internal arguments about whether or not to start posting this, but finally bit the bullet. Last year I was diagnosed with anorexia, which I've apparently had for most of my adult life. While I'm still very much in the process of recovery (still sort of in the process of even accepting that I may have a problem, actually), I've been using a variety of tools to try to wade through the sea of emotional craptasticness that this has unearthed. After I started taking anti-depressants, for months I couldn't draw. I felt like my hands had been cut off. By starting to work on a story, I was able to focus enough to get my hands moving again (you can see a lot of brilliantly crappy artwork as I work my way out of the slump). I started to find this exercise therapeutic (in conjunction with, you know, actual therapy), as attempting to define my thoughts and actions for the page has forced me to examine them more closely. And on the other side of the coin, regular sequential art is supposedly a much better way to improve your drawing style than just sketching random naked ladies and animals (I swear I keep those two subjects separated most of the time).
I've got a decent backlog to work with, so am planning to post weekly. I apologise in advance for any offense as this is a sensitive topic, and my experience is in many ways not typical to other ED sufferers. I can only go with what I know. Being confronted with how many lies I've learned to tell to cover up my habits is pretty shocking, so now I'm trying to be honest.

On August 1, FedEx driver Zachary Bunns pulled into Sherry Paisley's driveway on Walnut Tree Road. Leaving a package at the back door, the driver returned to his truck and backed out. Paisley was in the house and heard her dog cry out and when she ran to the door, all she saw was a strip of blood and blond fur where her eight-year-old golden retriever Gracie had been dragged.
Paisley called the police, and looked throughout the neighborhood but could not find Gracie. Two weeks later, Paisley still looks shaken as she recalls that afternoon, "I was all by myself, and it was so hot outside."
Luckily, one neighbor said she had seen Gracie across the road by Albert's Tree Farm so they knew she had survived, but Paisley and neighbors were unable to find the dog.
Municipal Animal Control officer Carolee Mason came to the house and spent more than an hour looking for Gracie in the woods and the swamp. Mason said, "I was in my uniform, and my shift ended at 4, and I told Sherry I would just go home and change, and come back in my clothes."
Mason came back in a t-shirt, shorts and flip flops, and went deeper into the woods across the street. For another two hours, she went to all of the houses nearby and looked under every pine tree in the woods..
"I went by the old Alberts Tree Farm and and wondered where could this dog have gone. I went back into the swamp and the mosquitos were terrible. Then I saw about 50 yards away, this blond lump. I called Gracie and her head popped up. She was so happy to see me."
Mason said swarms of flies had laid eggs in the deep gash on Gracie's head. Covered with mud and grime from being dragged and running into the swamp, Mason said, "It looked like her ear was going to fall off. I saw she couldn't walk very well, so I picked her up and carried her out of the swamp."
Mason gave kudos to the Newtown Veterinary Specialists, 52 Church Hill Road, who attended to Gracie's wounds. "They came out with a gurney as we pulled up with Gracie," Mason said. "They are top-notch."
Paisley contacts FedEx
Paisley said she has been very upset with the lack of attention from FedEx. The driver had returned to his base in Danbury that day, and he reported to his supervisor that he had run over the dog, but no one contacted Paisley.
Paisley said that for several days, she made calls to FedEx that went unreturned. She also said that she placed calls to the Broadspire Risk Management, which was handling the case for FedEx, and for three days was told that her questions could not be answered because the computers were down. It was a week before she was given a claim number.
A call on Wednesday to the FedEx Corporation in Memphis resulted in an explanation from Media Relations Scott Fiedler. "Our policy is to do everything possible to avoid this kind of thing and to take each case seriously. Each case is unique and on a case by case basis," he said.
When asked if FedEx would pay for the more than $5,000 in veterinary bills, Fiedler responded, "We want to make sure Gracie receives the care she needs for as long as it takes."
When asked if that meant FedEx would pay those bills, he said, "Broadspire Risk Management will conduct the investigation for us. Like with all claims, they will do an investigation and recommendation.
"It is difficult to say in any claim, especially with the dog still undergoing treatment, and we don't know yet how long that treatment will be. You don't want to close a claim too soon. We are working with Ms. Paisley and we want to receive the whole picture."
Fiedler said that while he had not spoken with Paisley since last week, that did not mean the claim was not active. "We want folks to know our hearts go out to Ms. Paisley and Gracie, and we are working to resolve this with Ms. Paisley. We wish Gracie a speedy recovery and we want to thank Animal Control Officer Mason for her hard work. We are glad she was able to find Gracie and get her the medical attention she needed."
Later that day, Broadspire contacted Paisley to ask about bills, which they asked her to fax to them. Paisley referred them to the veterinary office.
Other than that, Paisley has not received a phone call from FedEx in over a week. "I do not feel any compassion here," she said. "I feel totally ignored. They may be working on it, but how would I know that?"
