Kawasaki Jet Ski® Ultra® 300X Bombards the Podium at the IJSBA World Finals
Kawasaki Jet Ski® Ultra® 300X Bombards the Podium at the IJSBA World Finals
Irvine, Calif. (October 16, 2012)
– The IJSBA World Finals in Lake Havasu, Ariz., were the culmination of a great season for the Kawasaki Jet Ski® Ultra® 300X. Fresh off winning a National Championship, Kawasaki's Eric Francis won the Pro-Am Stock Runabout World Championship and finished third in Pro-Am Runabout Limited class on his stock Ultra 300X. Fellow Kawasaki rider Minoru Kanamori finished third behind Francis in the Pro-Am Stock class while his wife Emi took third in the Pro Am Women's Limited Ski class. Monster Energy Kawasaki's Craig Warner finished on the podium with third in GP Runabout and fourth in the Pro Runabout Open class.
World Champion
After capturing the National Championship in the Pro-Am Stock Runabout class back in August, Francis was the American favorite for the win at the World Finals. In a field made up of international competitors, Francis wasn't quite sure how he would stack up, but he was confident in himself and his Kawasaki. He first took on the Pro-Am Runabout Limited class where he finished third on his stock Ultra 300X against a field of Limited machines. Excited about his finish, Francis went out and won his qualifying race giving him a good pick for the motos. In Moto 1 he started on the way outside and rounded the first corner within the top-five. Francis made his way into fourth, but couldn't find a way around the leaders. In the second Moto it was all or nothing if he wanted to capture the championship. Francis started in third and had to battle past fellow Kawasaki rider Kanamori. Forced to make an aggressive pass, he was able to take over second and go after the leader. Francis was closing the gap each lap until lap four when the leader's boat quit, handing over the win and the World Championship.
"It was a real advantage to run the Pro-Am Runabout Limited class first," said Francis. "We were able to test some lines and finishing third gave me tons of confidence going into the Stock class. It came down to the second moto and it was 'win or nothing' if I wanted the championship. I made an aggressive move for second, diving to the inside, wide-open and almost clipped the buoy, but turned the boat on its side and made the pass. I ended up finishing just close to a 15-second gap on the field."
Fastest Couple on the Water
The Kanamoris are championship proven, each holding multiple World Championships. Minoru's experience played in his favor as he battled up-front in the extremely competitive Pro-Am Stock Runabout class. After placing fifth in the first moto, Minoru got off to a second place start and began battling with hard-charging Francis. After dropping to third, he would re-take second after the leader dropped out. His 5-2 score gave him third overall and also contributed to Francis being able to clinch the championship with his 4-1 moto score. Joining her husband Minoru with a podium position, Emi took third overall in the Pro-Am Women's Limited Ski class on her Kawasaki Jet Ski 800 SX-R.
On the Podium
Warner spent the summer blowing away the competition in the offshore races and was excited to end the season at the World Finals in Lake Havasu. The Pro classes kicked off on Saturday with the GP Runabout class where he rounded out the podium in third. On Sunday Warned back up his strong performance with a fourth place in the Pro Runabout Open, solidifying himself as a top competitor in both offshore and close course racing.
Besting the Claims
Although many manufacturers claim to have the best boat straight out of the crate, the Kawasaki Jet Ski Ultra 300X silenced all debates with their dominance at World Finals. In the Pro-Am Stock Runabout class, three of the top-four boats were Kawasaki finishing first, third, and fourth and showcasing the performance of the Ultra 300X.
"It was a huge statement for the Kawasaki Jet Ski," said Francis. "A lot of manufacturers had been pushing all year saying they made the fastest stock boat in the world and we showed them it's not true. I'm really glad I was able to be part of it."
Proof Nation
Kawasaki's support does not stop at the track or trail, they are always present on the water. Lining the beach front was the Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green semi along with local dealers such as Arizona Jet Ski providing parts for racers and showcasing the World Championship winning Jet Ski Ultra 300X.

Many people in the business reckon this Subaru is the best the UK has to offer-and with good reason. The facts and figures speak for themselves. This car won the '07 TOTB-the UK's prestigious handling, top speed and dragstrip competition- the Scooby Shootout Handling competition and finished second overall at the '07 Time Attack. It produces 605 bhp at the wheels or 722 when the gas is switched on; so figure on about 800 at the flywheel. To build, the car cost 150,000 and has reached 194 mph and a recorded 9.59-second quarter-mile. Despite that multitasking competitive pedigree, it's still road legal and immaculate enough to be entered in concours.
"The whole concept for the car was that it had to be a show car, a race car and a drag car," says Roger Clark Motorsport's Matt Clark, who built the car. "We wanted to build an all-round car, which could do anything." That's a great description of the Subaru and the results confirm it. Bear in mind, however, that the car runs in basically the same spec regardless of what the event is, so some kind of compromise is inevitable.
The car is the result of four months of Matt's hard work and is an "Evo" version of an earlier customer's car that produced 800 bhp and was the first Subaru in the world to clock a 9.8-second quarter-mile with a manual gearbox.
"We wanted to stick with an old Subaru shape because it's still the car that everybody loves, especially with those wide arches," he says. "Those arches are a '99 WRC kit and so are the bumpers and boot spoiler. We had to add strengthening struts to the wing regarding midrange power. And because it was bigger than the GT35 it replaced, it didn't need to work as hard." He says the twin scroll helped to cancel out any extra lag.
A lot of this car was fabricated to meet Matt's specifications, and he's especially proud of the six-speed sequential gearbox that he had designed and built. You can now buy one from RCMS with the same spec for 18,000.
"It's reliable, fast and very strong," Matt says. "The big turbo cars are frantic once they get going and the engines are high strung. With a dog box, you can change into any gear at any speed and it blows your engine in the process. It's happened to a couple of people I know this season, but you can't do that with our box." The car is also fitted with an optional paddle shift system for when the driver-Olly, Matt's brother-is too busy to take his hands off the steering wheel. Although, he hasn't really had enough practice to feel comfortable using it.
So what does Olly make of the car his brother built? "It's been built in the ruthless pursuit of perfection," he replies. "If it's not absolutely perfect then Matt won't compromise and the whole car reflects that." Despite a successful rally career, following in the footsteps of his late father, Roger Clark, Olly has limited experience on the track but, as results show, he has adapted quickly and been a consistent front-runner.
So what's the car like to drive? "It's impossible to describe how fast that car is," Olly says. "It did 194 mph at TOTB from a standing start and since then we have added some more ignition at the top end, so it should be good for 200 mph now." He also says that the car is still docile enough to take your granny to the shops. Although, that would be a waste of its impressive potential. "It's absolutely brutal when the power kicks in between 4,500 and 5,000 rpm," he says. "And then it keeps pulling all the way round to 8,500." He describes the suspension as "awesome with some understeer," but admits that is an area that they plan to develop further.
Early teething problems with the nitrous bursting alloy boost pipes was resolved by switching to a direct-port system with individual jets for each cylinder, which has been successfully used on the dragstrip and the long straights at Silverstone.

High School Physical Education Assessment
I am looking to see how other schools assess their students in Physical Education (specifically the weight room).
I use the performance test (10 yd, pro agility, vertical, this year I have included the long jump and seated med ball throw) and a weekly written test. I have two homework assignments that the students download and turn in to me then the test on Friday takes 5 - 10 minutes.
My school district is looking for different ways to assess students. Specifically they are looking at more writing then performance. I am trying to show the district different ways to assess students in Phys Ed so they do not have to just write.
Any suggestions, or ideas you use would be helpful.
Patrick McHenry
Hi Patrick,
I do a pre- and post- test with maxes in the weight room. I have been teaching what we call "Accelerated PE" for over ten years. It is open to all athletes and to those intending on joining the military.
They max in the beginning of the term, either a single rep or multi-rep max, and then they max again at the end of the term and must show improvement.
The three maxes are the following:
1. Barbell or dumbbell bench press
2. Box back squat or front squat or parallel squat or dumbbell/barbell split squat or dumbbell/barbell Bulgarian split squat
3. Barbell/dumbbell incline bench press or Jammer press
I have my "Advanced Weight Training" students research a topic or a person in strength training and present a power-point to the class. These are topics that I can expand on if needed. The kids have come up with some interesting things.
They also had to write a paper on how they have improved during the semester.
We took body measurements, rep max's, and did a functional movement screen pre and post.
I am assuming this is in response to common core.
One of the things I am doing is working with our English dept. to develop a list of questions that guides the students through articles in the PTJ. I have the articles in binders grouped by sport or topic and they have a choice of which articles to read. It is working great for the students that have gotten injured and can't participate.
The biggest benefit I have seen from it is they are starting to understand why we are doing what we do and have a better understanding of what we are trying to accomplish in each workout.

New Company of Heroes Expansion Revealed?Listings for a new Company of Heroes entry titled "Tales of Valor" recently appeared at retailer Amazon.com, prompting speculation that publisher THQ is preparing a second expansion pack in the Relic-developed World War II PC real-time strategy series.
The listing puts Tales of Valor's price point at $29.99, identical to the initial cost of the previous standalone expansion Opposing Fronts, and suggests a tentative release date of March 1, 2009.
The recipient of numerous awards, the original Company of Heroes hit PC in 2006, with developer Relic currently working on the sci-fi RTS Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 (PC), due out in early 2009.
No other details on Tales of Valor were offered in the listing, with publisher THQ having yet to offer an official comment.

Container Ten-71 by Stacy Binns and George Bennett
Design Showcase 2011
Design: Container Ten-71
Materials: powder coated steel
Designer: Stacy Binns and George Bennett
"I (Stacy) couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about this shape which would make a wonderful planter in any size. The sides of the vessel stand out enough to make it available for little plants or moss growing out the sides like a seed in a brick wall. I took a drawing to my favorite sculptor/steel roller, Adam Gale, whose large arms and good sense of humor always gets the job done."
"He cut, welded and rolled a 10' strip of steel based on George's cut drawings, tacked it and welded the base on. Off it went to the powder coater and voila it was ready for Fringe Studio's first furniture and accessories show here in SF.
Easy, right?"

I like a lot about this. The shape is simple ( reminds me of the Guggenheim Museum in NYC), it's functional, and it isn't made out of plastic, but steel. My favorite design showcase so far.
It looks like the Guggenheim!
Oops, haha just saw Muesli's comment. I obviously agree.
Could go for this as lampshade.
I'm sorry but I had to give it one star. And it's not really the fault of the designers but more so my personal association with this look. To me it looks like a planter in the lobby of a hotel designed in the 80's. Or worse, like one of those vertical blinds wrapped around plant....also another invention of the 80's. It'll be 100 years (still not enough time probably) for the 80's to be "chic" in my eyes.
I like it.

US President Barack Obama has signed an executive order early this week requiring federal agencies to share cyberthreat information with private companies as well as creating a cybersecurity framework focused on reducing risks to companies providing critical infrastructure.
The new framework will be voluntary for some operator of critical infrastructure, but federal agencies are required by the new order to oversee critical infrastructure to determine the operators and industries most at risk and to see if the government can require those companies to adopt the framework.
The agencies will particularly focus on critical infrastructure "where a cybersecurity incidents could reasonably result in a catastrophic regional or national effect on public health or safety, economic security, or national security", according to the order.
During the speech, Obama said that enemies of the US who want to sabotage the country's power grid, financial networks, or air-traffic control systems: "We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy." Obama called on the U.S. Congress to pass additional laws to secure U.S. networks, although he didn't lay out details.
The order tasks the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to lead in the creation of the cybersecurity framework for operators of critical infrastructure, with the framework based on "voluntary consensus standards and industry best practices." The framework will be developed with public input, the order said.
The order also directs the secretary of homeland security, the attorney general, the director of national intelligence and the secretary of defence to share cyberthreat information with private companies in the US.

Alan Meisel's Health Law Students Join the Public Debate
Professor Alan Meisel's students in Current Issues in Health Law have become regular contributors to the public debates over health care and the law, with the work of two students published in newspapers just this week. Meisel, who holds the Dickie, McCamey & Chilcote Chair in Bioethics and directs the Center for Bioethics and Health Law, requires his students to write ten short essays on health law topics during the one-year course, and to submit five of them to newspapers as letters to the editor. On Monday, February 6, the New York Times ran a submission by student Erik Bergenthal titled "The Church and the Birth Control Ruling," and on Thursday, February 9, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette published a submission by student Bryan Murray titled "A Powerful Tool" about the forthcoming fifth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Just this academic year, Professor Meisel says that the New York Times Science Section, USA Today, the Washington Post, and (three other times before today) the Post-Gazette have published other Health Law student work.

Encryption -- turning a message into code before sending for security reasons -- has become standard protocol for sending the majority of email transmissions today. This trend can be seen in both the private and public sectors, but it is especially the case in the public sector, where 83% of federal agencies have policies allowing employees to encrypt emails. While this sounds like a positive development, unfortunately, encryption is a double-edged sword. Encrypting messages does add a significant level of security, as encrypted messages have to be unencrypted, which takes time and makes them much less valuable to hackers. But emails that users encrypt at their desktop before sending cannot be subjected to any kind of content verification by network security, which makes it almost impossible to trace unauthorized data transmissions. In practice, the encryption that is used to guarantee the security of data actually becomes a method to send unauthorized data undetected through the email gateway.The Encryption ConundrumThis encryption conundrum puts IT managers between a rock and a hard place. Nobody wants to give up the high level of security provided by encrypting employee emails, but IT security experts almost all say that significantly more unauthorized data is lost from networks by email than flash drive, disc or any other method.The problem is just going to grow as more businesses and agencies move to encrypting most or all of their email traffic. A recent study suggested that over 80% of IT security managers were concerned about loss of sensitive data through encrypted email.Advanced Email Security TechnologyThe only way to effectively solve this encryption conundrum is with advanced email security technology. Thorough training of employees on encryption protocols and other software analytics methods will help control the loss of sensitive data through encrypted emails, but these measures will not thwart a smart and resourceful individual.To be sure that no one is sending out unauthorized data in encrypted emails, IT managers must have the ability to unencrypt files before they are routed to your Exchange server for outbound transmission. This is obviously a more laborious and time consuming process, but protocols can be set up so that only certain messages or a certain percentage of messages are unencrypted before outbound transmission.This kind of advanced email security takes some significant expertise to set up properly. Federal agencies will likely staff up their IT departments and take on the task in-house. But that idea can be a little daunting for small and medium-sized businesses. Small and medium businesses should consider working with a high-end local IT services provider to get the results they want. Learn more about how to secure your email from a data leak.
An astounding half a million credit cards have been stolen from an unidentified Australian company. The hackers responsible for the theft are said to be an Eastern European group who are also suspected to be the same one's that threatened the business continuity of Subway restaurants in 2011. A total number of 150 Subway restaurants in the US were victims of similar hacking.
For those who recently upgraded to a new laptop, the need to wipe your old hard drive correctly is vital. Not many people know that simply deleting data is not actually getting rid of it. When data is deleted, it is hidden from plain sight, but it is still present in your computer. In order to really delete data from your desktop, more invasive steps need to be taken. IT outsourcing services are ideal if the data erasure is being done by a business on more than a couple computers. Data that falls into the wrong hands can affect business continuity, or worse, cause a breach. It is therefore imperative to ensure that an IT consulting service provider is engaged in this process.
IT professionals have to do a lot more than install, administer and repair technology systems. Sometimes they have to be educators and help their users better understand the rules of the road for the information highway. Fortunately, the best rules are the simple ones and effective password security is a simple proposition. Teach your users what to do and you'll end up with less to do.
Telling someone to BYOD is literally a four-letter word in many IT departments. Also known as "bring your own device," BYOD is a cloud-based concept which allows mobile devices to access a private or corporate network. Employees can access the network using their tablets, cell phones, laptops and other mobile devices.
Lack of well-implemented email encryption remains one of the weakest links businesses face today. Companies who fail to take necessary precautions can be fined due to failure to comply to applicable legal acts, lose customer loyalty and their market competitiveness. Don't make the mistake of implementing it based on bad advice though. Let's look at some of the worst email encryption advice that could leave you vulnerable.
IT security news sometimes seems like an ongoing list of companies that have found themselves the victim of hacking groups or hacktivists, hackers that operate not out of a desire for fame or ill-gotten gains but in order to send a political or social message. All too often, the intrusions suffered by these businesses lead to the public release of information best kept private. The latest such company to find itself the victim of such tactics is none other than internet giant Yahoo!, which was attacked by hacking group D33Ds.
Sending your data into the cloud has implicit security risks. Attackers could potentially intercept the data during transmission or the data can be compromised on the cloud server itself. Ensuring encryption exists at all points of transmission and storage will help to ensure your data remains secure. Let's look at several aspects of security when selecting your cloud-based service provider.
Even though federal officials have recently taken down a large international credit card fraud ring, IT security experts are warning small and medium-sized businesses that the long-term prospects for this type of criminal activity are still alarmingly strong. All legitimate organizations that deal with sensitive financial information such as credit card numbers and expiration dates need to understand how to protect their customers' privacy better. This involves understanding how the criminals in the recent card fraud ring operated.

Last night the world watched as the Louisville Cardinal go into the 2013 Sugar Bowl expecting to watch the #3 Florida Gators run them off the field. That expectation may have been tempered a bit 15 seconds into the game when Terell Floyd intercepted the first pass of the game and took it back for 6. The Cardinals continued to shock the world for the next 4 quarters and stunned the Gators with a 33-23 victory. It marks the biggest upset in BCS history, and the biggest with for this UofL program. Charlie Strong and company proved all the doubters wrong, and now have a lot of momentum going into next year. No one showed respect for the Cards going into the game, but they will now.
Here is the first of several Sugar Bowl wallpapers that I will be posting in the coming days/weeks. I wish I could give every member of the team, staff, and fan base their own wallpaper but I'll have to settle for choosing a handful. Thanks for looking, and Go Cards!

I recently attended the Atlanta Gluten & Allergy-free Wellness event where I sampled products from a variety of local and national vendors showcasing their wares. Products included baking mixes, pizza crusts, soup mixes, dehydrated fruits, magazines and beer.
Gluten Free Cutie, Pure Knead and Uncle Maddio's represented the Atlanta market. Chef Tracey Bloom, formerly of Ray's on the Creek, was also on hand to promote her newest venture, Free Cuisine, for which she develops gluten- and allergy-free recipes.
I also discovered another local product with which I was unfamiliar: Sugar & Spice Market flour, a cup-for-cup all purpose flour substitute. Previously I've used Cup 4 Cup, a similar product developed at the French Laundry.
While I've had great results using Cup 4 Cup, I was happy to support the locally produced Sugar & Spice Market brand. I decided to test it in a quick bread, which is the only area where I feel Cup 4 Cup doesn't prove a satisfying substitute.
I made two batches of pumpkin bread (my children's favorite), one with each flour so I could compare them head-to-head. As with most recipes I've tried, the Cup 4 Cup became very elastic and difficult to stir when mixing. The batter made with the Sugar & Spice Market blend more closely mimicked the consistency of wheat flour.
Once baked, the loaves were very similar in appearance and taste, but the Cup 4 Cup still had the gumminess I'd noted in previous attempts. I much preferred the texture of the bread made with the Sugar & Spice Market blend.
It's a win-win situation. I'm supporting a local business with a product that I prefer. And, it's cheaper at $17 for 5 lbs versus $19.95 for 3 lbs of the Cup 4 Cup.
You can find the Sugar & Spice Market products online and at Savi Urban Market, Whole Foods (on Ponce de Leon Ave.), Return to Eden and Natural Foods Warehouse.

#4 Prospect: Chris Vande Velde
Current Rank: #4
Summer 2009: #6
Chris Vande Velde stands out on the Oilers prospect list for all kinds of reasons: He's 6.02, 207, 57% in the faceoff circle and you can reasonably use the word rugged in the scouting report.
VVV (pronounced Vandeh-Veldee) took Taylor Chorney's advice and stayed in college for his final year, and so far the offense is looking good (14gp, 4-9-13). He's a big body who goes to tough areas for the puck and can be used in front of the net on the PP, can score on the PP (8 of them last season) and would seem to have a nice range of skills. VVV is also considered a team leader, as witnessed by the "A" on his sweater this fall and a fairly impressive annual number of blocked shots. He also shoots quite a bit, sending 40 on net already in the 14 UND games this season (he had 116 in 43 games one year ago). I've read that he's a "strong" skater but the word leaves plenty of room for interpretation.
What doesn't he do? VVV isn't considered a high skill player and from what I've read would be more of a north south, throwback type. He was +10 in each of his last two NCAA seasons but is plodding along at -3 this year, possibly owing to a downturn in linemates.
Kevin Prendergast: "He's a big kid, very strong, very good on faceoffs. He's physical and gets in areas to create things. He played an awful lot for them this year and played very well in the playoffs despite playing with a separated shoulder which we thought was commendable on his part."
Prendergast spent part of last spring fretting over Riley Nash's decision to leave Cornell but seemed less concerned about Vande Velde hanging around for his senior year. "We just felt that another year at North Dakota–which is an excellent program–of him playing on their first or second line and honing his skills just a little bit is going to make him a better player for us at the end of the season."

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (October 14, 2012) – Led by two goals from forward Jonelle Filigno (Mississauga, ON, Canada), the Rutgers women's soccer team overpowered Cincinnati (4-12-1, 1-9) by a score of 5-0 on Senior Day this Sunday afternoon at Yurcak Field.
Filigno passes Carli Lloyd for first all time at Rutgers with her seventh game-winning goal in 2012. With two scores, the forward ranks fifth all-time at RU with 14 goals this season. She is one score away from a five-way tie for the record.
The five goals by the Scarlet Knights (11-6-1, 4-5-1) marked the most since Sept. 22, 2008 (against Villanova, 5-0). The eight goals over the weekend marked the most in back-to-back games for RU since Sept. 29-Oct. 1, 2006 when RU earned a 3-0 win over Marquette and a 5-0 win over USF.
As RU honored five seniors, three contributed to the offensive firepower, while two held strong on the defensive side for the shutout. Redshirt senior Tricia DiPaolo (Sparta, N.J.) tallied a goal and an assist. Senior forward April Price (Mechanicsville, Va.) notched two assists and senior midfielder Maura McLaughlin (Robbinsville, N.J.) posted her first career score.
The Scarlet Knights broke through in the 13th minute, as Price chipped a pass from the left sideline into the box for Filigno. The redshirt junior did the rest, pushing the ball past UC goalkeeper Kristina Utley to give RU an early 1-0 advantage.
DiPaolo added to the score in the 24th minute off a set piece. Freshman forward Rachel Cole (Teaneck, N.J.) sent a corner kick to the converted outside back on the right sideline. DiPaolo blasted a shot from 23 yards out, dropping it over the UC goalkeeper's head.
Filigno made it 3-0 in the 32nd minute off a beautiful cross from DiPaolo. From the right sideline, DiPaolo floated a cross to the back post, where Filigno headed it into the bottom right of the net.
Cole added to the tally in the 43rd minute with a penalty kick. After a hand ball in the box by Cincinnati, the freshman notched her second goal of the season, beating Utley to the right.
McLaughlin scored her first career goal in the 50th minute. Price started the play, dishing off to a streaking Cassie Inacio (Manalapan, N.J.) at the top of the box. Inacio touched a pass to McLaughlin, who buried the shot to put RU up 5-0.
RU nearly posted five scores in the first stanza, as redshirt freshman Amanda DeVolk (Frisco, Texas) was taken down in the box in the 29th minute. Shannon Woeller (Vancouver, Canada) took the penalty kick for the Scarlet Knights, but Utley was able to make a diving save to her right.
Senior goalkeeper Emmy Simpkins (Concord, N.C.) made two saves to improve her record to 6-4-1 with 5.3 shutouts.
Game Notes
* Filigno ranks first all-time at RU with seven game winners this season.
* The five goals by the Scarlet Knights marked the most since Sept. 22, 2008 (against Villanova, 5-0).
* The eight goals over the weekend marked the most in back-to-back games for RU since Sept. 29-Oct. 1, 2006 when RU earned a 3-0 win over Marquette and a 5-0 win over USF.
* Jonelle Filigno moves into fifth all-time on the RU single season goals list with 14 this season. She is one away from a five-way tie for first place.
* The redshirt junior ranks in a tie with Christa Aluotto for third place all-time with 12 game-winning goals for her career.
* April Price becomes the first Scarlet Knights to notch two assists in a game since Gina DeMaio vs. Providence on Oct. 3, 2010.

Breastfeeding Tools You Won't Want to Be Without
Clothes for Fast Feeding
Many women appreciate the convenience of wearing clothes designed specifically for breastfeeding moms. These shirts, dresses, and pajamas have openings on both sides, allowing women to breastfeed their babies discreetly. While wearing nursing clothes is a matter of personal preference, many women couldn't live without them. "I wear one—usually a nursing tank—everyday and have several nursing gowns/sleepwear that I also use," says Pinson. "Wearing nursing shirts made me feel more comfortable when I was learning how to breastfeed in public; also, I find it more convenient to nurse at home in nursing wear."
Nursing fashion is known best for being practical, but with organizations such at the American Academy of Pediatrics recommending mothers nurse for the first 12 months of babies' lives, more women are breastfeeding longer—which means more fashions to choose from. Today nursing mothers can choose clothes that fit their lifestyles and occasion; whether it's for a postnatal yoga class, an important meeting at the office, or a night on the town, nursing fashions have come a long way with designing clothes that are current and trendy.

Sammy Hagar has revealed details about a new album he's been working on with Journey 's Neal Schon , as well as two of the Red Rocker's Chickenfoot band mates -- bassist Michael Anthony and drummer Chad Smith . In a new video posted on Hagar's official YouTube channel, Sammy reports that the project is basically a reincarnated version of his old supergroup HSAS , which featured Schon, journeyman bassist Kenny Aaronson and former Santana drummer Michael Shrieve .
The clip shows Hagar, Schon, Anthony and Smith jamming in the studio and also features them sitting on a couch together and discussing the collaboration.
Hagar points out that the group has just laid down three tracks, including a rendition of the unreleased Chickenfoot tune "Going Down," which he describes as the "#1 jam song" at his Cabo Wabo Cantina.
"We recorded it live as hell," adds Sammy. "Neal burned. It's never burned like that. It's like 'whew!'"
The original HSAS released only one album, Through the Fire , which came out in 1984. No word yet when the new record will hit stores.

Can Richard Mourdock pull off a victory in his Indiana Senate race after his controversial debate comments -- widely and unfairly misconstrued though they may have been? So far, it doesn't look good.
Recall that John McCain just barely lost Indiana in 2008. And if you look from county to county, Mourdock is underperforming McCain so far.
In Steuben County, for example, Mourdock has 53%. McCain got 54%. In Vigo, Mourdock has 40%. McCain had 42%. In Whitley, Mourdock has 58%. McCain had 60%.
It's still early, and none of these counties has reported in fully, but the early returns seem to hint at a victory for Democrat Joe Donnelly.

COLBY, Wis (WSAU) A daycare provider in Colby is accused of breaking a 7-month-old child's leg.
The mother of the infant says the baby girl's leg was swollen and at an odd angle when she picked her daughter up one day last October at the Dream Bound Daycare. An arrest was made when the baby's four-year-old sister says the infant was thrown on the floor while being fed.
Prosecutors have charged 25-year-old Kaylee Schnitzler with one count of child abuse and child neglect.
Schnitzler claimed the injury happened while she was putting the baby in a highchair. She'll be in court for an initial appearance in February.

How Can I Best Preserve Red Chili Sauce or Paste?
Good Questions
Q: We love to make our own chili sauce and red chili paste (especially now that we get a lot of red chilies from the garden). The only thing is that it goes bad pretty fast. We've started freezing it but it influences the taste.
Is there something we can add to preserve it? I've heard something about vitamin C. What do you know about it?
Sent by Jolanda
Editor: I have never preserved chili sauce so I don't have a good answer for you, but I do think that if the acid levels are high enough you should be able to water bath can it.
Readers, any advice?

Salt? The peppers themselves have a ton of Vitamin C already.
Can it...
Do some reading up on the subject at the Natl Center for Food Preservation website http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/, then peruse one of the many canning books (some have been reviewed here) for a recipe that appeals to you. In order to be canned in boiling water, there must be sufficient acid in the recipe. That is why there is an emphasis on using tested recipes.
You could also dehydrate your peppers in the oven and then reconstitute or grind them later to make sauce.
Isn't there vinegar and salt in the mixture? If the ph is right, there shouldn't be a issue.
Wow, sorry I have no good answers but thanks for asking this. I was wondering the same thing.
Jolanda, if you've never tried fermenting foods before, this may sound out there, but it's easy as pie: stir in a Tablespoon or two of whey per jar (whey, as in, the stuff you drain from yogurt). Add a little less vinegar than usual, as the whey will sour it a bit on its own. There's an instructional for rendering whey and a bunch of fermented recipe links (sauerkraut, sour pickles, etc.) in this post:
You'll just stir the whey and a little salt into the finished chili sauce, let it sit at room temperature for a day or two, and then move the jars into the fridge. Your chili sauce is now probiotic and WHAT WHAT will last you for at least a year. In the fridge. No joke.
I would never joke about chili sauce.
yes, the whey totally works! I do it for storebought salsa all the time. http://www.cheeseslave.com/2011/02/25/30-second-lacto-fermented-salsa/

Continuing my experiments with the Epilog Helix laser cutter, today I decided to try some photographs. I found some old black and white pictures I had scanned, and a couple recent digital snaps. I tweaked the B&W photos in PhotoShop to adjust colors, levels, etc. For reasons I dont quite understand yet, the B&W pictures did not transfer into Corel Draw well. They had very pronounced streaks. Strange. However, the digital pics did transfer well.
The first picture is one of my wife, Laurel. First I used PShop to strip out the background, then convert it to gray scale. I am not a skilled PShop expert, merely adequate. The results arent perfect, but were good enough for this test. I printed the picture on a sample of finished wood flooring (labeled Tiger) using the basic wood-400 settings file from Epilog. The results were pretty decent, You can see the dithering when you look closely. Next I wanted to try the 3d mode which converts gray scale values to intensity and thus depth of etch. Previous tests and notes in the manual indicated that multiple passes are often needed to get a good 3d effect. I tried it with one pass, and again with three. The results were quite different from the dithered raster. I decided to try one more with 3 passes and a final fourth pass using the raster. The end results are not all that impressive. The simple dithered etch looks best. The 3d mode may be better on other types of images, perhaps graphics with gradient fills.
Next I tried a picture of Laurel and myself, snapped on a very rare occasion when I'm wearing a suit. yeah a real suit. I clean up pretty decent. Anyway, I used the magic lasso again to cut us out from the background, converted to gray scale and did a quick print on a bit of 5mm plywood. I also added a quick vector box (hairline) around the picture to cut it from the larger stock. The results were ok, but not all that great. The etching gives a rather nice effect on the picture, however the grain of the wood is pretty strongly visible, especially when you look closely. From across the room, the image looks fine.
I think the simple raster image on pre-finished flooring looks best. This may be due to the grain structure and/or the fancy finished surface of the floor panel. The 3D effect diid not work well with the sample photo. The cheap plywood image does not work well.
Next I will try some graphic files, I think… Also I need to get the stair risers etched this week. Tomorrow is my b-day and Laurel arrives for the rest of the week, so this will probably be the last post for a bit. Drop a comment!

- Upscale DiningsupremeshopperDined on 8/8/2014We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We were seated immediately at the exact time of our reservation. Warm parmesan bread was served as soon as we sat down. A waiter greeted us and found that this was our first time at the restaurant. He bent over backwards to explain the menu and our choices. The restaurant is known for its trio of dishes where you get a sample of three of their entrees in smaller proportions. Fresh fish with a variety of serving styles and sauces is available. Desserts are made while you dine so the order is placed before your meal is finished. A bottle of wine will be sold for the price of a glass of wine on Sundays and Mondays through October. Pricey but worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great BurgerDinnerfortwoDined on 8/8/2014There are a lot of things to choose from and a lot of higher end items. I got the burger, which is the lowest price on the entrée portion of the menu - it was great! Cooked well and the seasoning was great. The wait staff was good - very attentive to water getting low and needs, maybe at times too attentive. Would definitely go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/8/2014The food was unbelievable as always. In my opinion this is the best restaurant in St. Louis.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a surpriseChicagoVIPDined on 8/6/2014This place took us by surprise. First it's in a strip mall and you wouldn't even notice it. However try not to miss it everything is great and prpepared with a little twist. Service is exceptional and we will be back.Special Features:
- Just OKTexDocDined on 8/3/2014Had read all of the reviews and thought it would be worth a try. While the service was remarkable, they had over booked & our table was not ready. We had the choice of waiting 30 minutes or eating at a table in the bar area. We chose the latter option. Much to our dissapointment, the kitchen was out of a number if dishes. What we did have was truly "just okay" - not spectacular & certainly not what we expected.
- The tavernEatoutDined on 8/3/2014We chose this restaurant for a special occasion, having had a very good experience on a previous visit. Our reservation was made via open table but did not show we were to be seated at bar style table in the bar. Surprisingly the chairs were more comfortable than most. Problematic was that they had had a busy weekend and 50% of the fish dishes were unavailable. Quite a few other items were unavailable also. In spite of that, the food was good and the service was excellent. Note: they have no sugar free desserts or "healthy" food choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/2/2014The wait staff here are outstanding and seem as if they actually enjoy their job. We had a 6 p.m. Reservation on. Saturday and when we arrived, not very crowded. When we left at 7:15, it was packed! But best of all, they have an excellent gluten free menu so I didn't feel deprived at all. In addition to the famous bread, they brought out yummy steamed edamame pods to snack on - terrific. Will be back soon and often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Really enjoyed our dining experience, although be aware that the restaurant is on the pricey side.Special Features:
- My New Favorite Restaurant!KayLayStLDined on 8/1/2014My husband and I had heard about this restaurant from several friends, but just hadn't gotten around to trying it until now. We absolutely loved it! We got two of the "Tasting Boards" and shared them, and it was so fun to get to try 8 different dishes. My husband was able to use this method to pick a favorite, so now when we go back, he'll know what entrée to order. I like the variety of four different dishes on each "board," and would definitely use this method again. My favorite part about the experience, though, was that for an upscale restaurant, the staff was SO nice and down-to-earth. I'm used to staff in these types of restaurants being a little aloof, but none of that here! We loved our experience and will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Task Force: Extending Family & Medical Leave Act 'fair and humane'
Inga Sarda-Sorensen
Director of Communications
(Office) 646.358.1463
(Cell) 202.641.5592
WASHINGTON, June 22 — The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force calls the extension of Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA) benefits to same-sex parents "fair and humane." These parents, who previously had to fight legal battles to have the right to care for their sick or newborn children, can now focus on their families without fear of losing their jobs.
Under the FMLA, parents are able to take leave for up to 12 weeks to care for a sick or newborn child. The new interpretation expands those terms to include parents who are not legally or biologically related to the child. This change will help parents across the country in states like Arizona, Texas and Virginia that do not allow second-parent adoption and limit same-sex couples' ability to care for their families.
The Task Force commends the Human Rights Campaign for its work on this policy shift in collaboration with the Department of Labor. This new interpretation is the type of regulatory change that the Task Force's New Beginning Initiative advocates for to create real change in the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
Statement by Rea Carey, Executive Director
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
"This is a pro-family policy change that will enable parents across the country to provide critical attention and care to their sick or newborn children. This is humane, fair and acknowledges the reality that there are thousands of same-sex couples with children — but without the same basic rights and protections currently guaranteed to other families. No parent should ever fear taking time away from his or her job to care for a child in need."
Statement by Hilda L. Solis, Secretary
U.S. Department of Labor
"No one who loves and nurtures a child day-in and day-out should be unable to care for that child when he or she falls ill. No one who steps in to parent a child when that child's biological parents are absent or incapacitated should be denied leave by an employer because he or she is not the legal guardian. No one who intends to raise a child should be denied the opportunity to be present when that child is born simply because the state or an employer fails to recognize his or her relationship with the biological parent. These are just a few of many possible scenarios. The Labor Department's action today sends a clear message to workers and employers alike: All families, including LGBT families, are protected by the FMLA."

The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the grassroots power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. We do this by training activists, equipping state and local organizations with the skills needed to organize broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

Keeping Wickets
From being all-rounder's to musical experimenters, the legends in wicket-keeping seem to have a lot going for them. Even before they made it big on the world stage, keepers seem to have interesting quirks.
While reputed players across the globe have taken up the thankless profession, it's interesting to see what some of these guys were up to before they decided to guard the stumps.
Ian Healy would have turned out to be a banker:
You would think that the son of a banker would have finances on his mind. This wasn't the case for Ian Healy at all! While his father worked on ball park figures, he was busy dreaming of keeping wickets for Australia. Hugely inspired by Rod Marsh to take up wicket-keeping; Healy chose to brave the speeding ball and tame it by choosing to wicket keep. This is what gave him a rush more than any other sport.
Limbering up on the field with Alan Knott
Alan Knott, inductee into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2009, is quite the exercise buff. A random stretch here, a moment to touch his toes there; he doesn't waste a spare moment on the field. A restless soul, you could see him limbering up, every minute he gets.
Law called to Sangakkara, before cricket
Black suits were just not Kumar's style. Instead of taking after his father and becoming a lawyer, he decided to throw on the whites and rule a ball coming towards him even if it was keep wickets to the gulies of Murali. Now that's what we call being spirited!
Boxing his way to wickets: Godfrey Evans
A talented young sportsman and an incredible amateur boxer, Evans was sure to make the big leagues. However, this 17 year-old self saw a turn of events when he was forced into cricket by the Kent Committee. He quickly switched his boxing gloves with his wicket-keeping ones and boy, was that a smart move!

Tipping the scales at over 500 pounds, one Central Florida man said he had no choice but to act on losing weight. After several failed attempts, he ended up dropping hundreds of pounds.
"We were a true southern family with lots of fried food, lots of fat," said B.E. Thompson. "All through elementary , middle and high school, I was always the biggest kid in the class."
Thompson has spent his entire life struggling with his weight. At 21, a liquid diet helped him shed 150 pounds in 3 months. When the diet stopped, so did the weight loss. Much of it came back. He spent the next decade trying every fad diet available. At 31, he dropped 200 pounds, but it didn't stay off.
"As soon as I reached my goal, I started packing weight back on, until eventually I got to 540 pounds," he said.
Living became a struggle, from mobility, to shopping, to working. His quality of life declined, but a trip to a doctor would scare him enough to make permanent changes.
"He said you're borderline diabetic."
Afraid of that reality, a transformation started. In February 2010, Thompson met with a trainer for the first time. In a race for his health, he spent 90 minutes training, 5 days every week.
"I Had major anxiety about getting on the equipment and being able to fit on the equipment," Thompson said.
He was committed. Two weeks later, he got serious about his diet. Lori Esarey, with Total Nutrition and Therapeutics, helped him with those goals.
"I knew it was possible, but I also knew all the trials he had been through," said Esarey.
Food was the enemy. He can remember what he was eating back then.
"Desserts, breads, pastas, potatoes," he said. "Based on some of the doctors I talked to, it was probably 7 to 10,000 calories a day, at times."
When the journey started, he was wearing a size 6 pants, to fit around his 72-inch waist.
"The beauty of looking at him now is that he is not going back," said Esarey.
They can laugh about it now. Almost 3 years later, the Lake County man has shed 322 pounds.
"Feeling good is more important to me than looking good, but I'm obviously very happy about the look too!"
He still keeps a food log, meets with Esarey about his personal health markers, and together, they are staying the course to say farewell to the fat.
"There is no finish line," Esarey told us. "I tell people all the time, this is not about the sprint, it's truly about the marathon. This is a new way of living."
Thompson now has his life back, able to do things that once became impossible, and in this new year, he's encouraging anyone who needs to change, to take that first step.
"I feel fantastic!" he said.

In football parlance, it was a short week. In reality, it was a week — six days, actually — of excruciating length. Georgia Tech returned from its overtime Labor Day loss in Blacksburg, Va., at 4 a.m. Tuesday, and then the Jackets had to wait until 7 p.m. Saturday for toe again to meet leather.
Saturday night's foe was rather less imposing than Virginia Tech. In the Presbyterian Blue Hose's' most recent dances with ACC opposition, they'd lost 58-21 (to Clemson in 2010) and 53-13 (to Wake Forest, same year). There was no way in this or any other world that Georgia Tech was going to lose this game. At issue was whether it could shake off its post-Hokie blues and look like a team capable of making something from a season that started with a wrenching defeat.
Speaking of blues: The Jackets, whose official colors are old gold and white, wore blue jerseys with the white honeycomb helmets they'd sported in Blacksburg, and the effect was, shall we say, underwhelming. Nothing about those uniforms made you think, "Georgia Tech." So much for building the ol' brand.
The game itself was more representative of the program Paul Johnson has built. The Jackets rushed for 282 yards in the first half. (They'd managed only 288 yards total in four quarters plus OT against Virginia Tech.) Zach Laskey broke a tackle and popped a 56-yard touchdown run on Tech's first series, and that was encouraging. The Jackets' longest gain from scrimmage on Labor Day had been a 22-yard Tevin Washington scramble.
Same week, different opponent: Against Presbyterian the Jackets had eight plays of 39 or more yards. Afterward Tech coach Paul Johnson said: "When you're playing someone who's physically overmatched, you're going to hit some big plays."
Overall, Johnson was pleased with the victory — the final score was 59-3, and the Jackets gained 712 yards — but not ecstatic. "It was OK in spots," he said of his offensive. "We were sloppy."
But then, a bit later: "I don't care who you play — if you're getting that many big plays you're doing something right."
Laskey finished the night with 116 yards, which was likewise newsworthy. Only once last season did a B-back have a 100-yard game, this after three seasons in which Jonathan Dwyer and Anthony Allen routinely did the deed. As David Sims, last year's B-back, said last month: "This offense works best when the B-back is having big games, like Jonathan and Anthony did."
Other good signs: A Tech wide receiver caught a pass — that hadn't happened against Virginia Tech — and Tevin Washington hit wideout Jeremy Moore on a deep ball. Less good: Two of the three quarterbacks Tech deployed (Washington and Synjyn Days) lost fumbles, and the heralded redshirt freshman Vad Lee's first collegiate series was blighted by two dropped passes.
It was 24-0 at the half, and it should have been worse. Days' fumble might easily have been ruled a Tech touchdown — he appeared to break the plane before losing his grip — instead of a Presbyterian recovery and a subsequent 91-yard return. No big deal, though. The Tech defense held the Blue Hose (who actually do wear blue hose) on fourth-and-goal. For the second time in six days, Al Groh's men looked rather stout.
By the third quarter, nearly everything Tech did looked good. The Jackets scored three touchdowns in the period, the first on Washington's pass to Robert Godhigh, the second on a Lee sneak, the third on Lee's 82-yard throw to receiver Jeff Greene. On the quarter's final snap, Lee nearly broke an 85-yard touchdown run but was tripped at Hose 6. (As it was, the 79-yard gain was the longest non-scoring rush in Institute annals.) Tech fans have waited long to see if Lee was equal to his hype, and on this night he didn't disappoint.
Said Lee: "I'm happy to have had the opportunity to make big plays and show my ability."
Then again, this was only Presbyterian, which has the smallest enrollment (1,200) of any Division 1 program. The schedule toughens next week. Tech plays Virginia, and the Cavaliers dealt the 2011 Jackets their first loss. Then comes Miami, which beat Tech last year, too. By the close of business Sept. 22, the Jackets will already have played three of their five in-division games.
Winning the Coastal Division would have been much easier had Tech held its lead in Blacksburg, but that chance was wasted. Now the Jackets must buckle down and give themselves a chance should Virginia Tech mess up and lose twice to ACC opponents. The schedule isn't terrible, and much can happen over these next 10 weeks.
Lest Tech doubt, it can find verification 75 miles to the East. This time a year ago, Georgia was 0-2 and had lost at home to South Carolina. But the Bulldogs steadied themselves and ran the regular-season table and watched as the Gamecocks tripped twice. Come December, the Bulldogs were playing for the SEC title. As much as it might pain the Jackets to draw strength from the hated mutts, there are worse role models to be found.

Coach Johnson had them ready, and played lots of guys. More work to do on passing game, but total offense speaks volumes about how our timing is coming together. Defense is going to be our rock all season.
And with 5 seconds to go, Presbyterian finally accomplishes what they first started trying to do 77 years ago…score against GaTech.

Hard to get an overall read given the level of competition but a few things stand out. (1) hustle level, when Synjyn "fumbled" in the endzoe and the PC DB went the other way he was chased down, no give up no quit on the play (2) defensive intensity was up through out the enitre game (3) much better blocking by the wide receivers and play side A backs. (4) better O line play. The level of competition is going up and now its up to the coaches and players to raise their level of play as they go forward.
Now on to Vad Lee, his physical tools are impressive. His throw to Jeff Greene was on a line, timely and in rythm. You can see he has good mechanics and footwork. On his long you can his stride and quickness. No question he is very physically gifted. He had some mis reads but more res and film work will take care of that issue. I expect CJ to work him into the lineup more and more over the next few weeks. He is going to be a difference maker and I am excited to see him grow up as Tech's QB/
For all the despair and naysayers and assorted trolls from this week I say Tech's going to be okay this seasons and for seasons to come.
Go Jackets! Beat the Wahoos!

Vad Lee is a big time player but if you watched closely he is still green. Stumbled on execution of several plays. Upside is big no doubt. I see a little of what CPJ is seeing. Still green on the base offense. He will get more time , the future looks bright!

Finally got to see Vad Lee and must say, it was worth the weight. The long pass to Greene was on the money and probably the prettiest pass a Tech QB has thrown in years. Hope he's starting by the end of the season. And who says Tech can't win in the blue jerseys.

September 8th, 2012
11:12 pm
Was at the game and the thing I was impressed by most with Vad was how the team reacted to him. He is going to be super. I heard his post game interview and he is class through and through. Really proud we have him on the flats. Also Laskey is going to be huge at the B back spot for the rest of the season barring injury. Also the D play a lot of kids and there are some fine players waiting in the wings, I know the competition is going to amp up, but I see good things happening with the program. Go Jackets!
September 8th, 2012
11:21 pm
TW looks "OK" just like always. He just doesn't have the spark that our team needs to break out onto the next level. Vad is sooo much quicker on his feet. You can see it in the way he moves around the pocket and in his break away speed. I just don't see the downside to Vad compared to TW.

September 8th, 2012
11:59 pm
Hmm, last post didn't show up. Hope the Jackets put it on UVA next. Good work in todays tune-up, keep the option rolling.
It's obvious that CPJ has put more work in on the passing game now that the team has gotten capable with the option read and blocking scheme. It's nice to see some balance in that regard, and Days and Lee looked good as well. Lots of playing time for the bench today, which is a huge positive for the long season. All in all, a good effort and enjoyable to watch, except for the horrid jerseys, wish those things would go right in the trash.
Also MB, any insight into why our field wasn't painted tonight? Did the weather earlier affect our plans? With the bad jerseys and the unpainted field, it made us look like a high school team.

The system definitely worked in this one and will work 7 or 8 more times this season. However, I'm still feeling a bit 'meh' with our talent level. Johnson is a great coach, particularly with adjustments. However, a good recruiter he ain't….and I'm afraid it's starting to catch up with us. For instance, there are very few (if any) other good D-1 schools where Tevin Washington is a starting caliber QB. After tonight, I'm all for pulling the plug on Washington at the slightest screw-up and handing the keys to the car to either Days or Lee. Both guys, in the long run, will be much better players. Laskey is looking pretty good, but we've got to get Orwin Smith going. In all seriousness, we don't really have a good running back….just a bunch of okay players….which are what 2 and 3 star recruits turn out to be. As much as Gailey sucked at X's and O's, at least he pulled in NFL backs. PJ needs to think about hiring a recruiting coordinator and paying him top dollar.

I'm back…….Let's start with a few things nobody wants to address. Last week at VT the great CPJ called a timeout before half with the opponent taking a knee. That's class I tell ya…..and then taking the second half kickoff and moving the ball to midfield then the offense stalls. Why go for it? If that's your strategy, why defer to the second half. Take the ball after winning the coin toss. Had a chance to flip the field and declined…….Not smart

I don't care what anyone says. The jerseys reminded me of a retro looking jersey style with nice touches and looked good. If we have to wear a color, the light gold from the past 2 years doesn't stand out well enough against white jerseys. The gold from the Gailey era was meh, and don't even get me started on the mustard colored abominations. Most of our merchandise uses the navy blue anyways and the student body likes the color. Let the Alums who can afford to travel have their white and gold. They can keep their post Dodd years as well.

Slim. Chan never won an ACC title (the game was played. We beat Clemson not once but twice. Hang the NCAA and their horse crap rulings. Paul also hasn't given us boring same day different s*** uninspired football like Chan did. When you got 7-4 every year of your tenure… there is a problem. He also lost to UGA for 7 straight years and never one a bowl game. He was given so much luxury. A QB could walk into his office and he'd be none the wiser. Oh wait, one did. His name was Troy Aikman. Perhaps you heard of him? Chan finished his career.
September 9th, 2012

81. get your head out of the sand….CPJ only won his first year with chan's players. Look at the talent or lack there of now. No pros on the team.
September 9th, 2012
6:57 am
Slim, grow a pair and stop crying. Man has been there how many years? He needed time to find the tools he needed to build the program. The defense is finally in place a year ahead of Groh's worst case scenario and the offense only real lack is a reliable QB which we may have. As for giving chan's players credit, PJ had to fit players to the system. Lineman recruited for pro are pretty terrible for option football. Last 2 years showed the rebuilding needed. The first one for Al Groh and the next one to replace the loss of Nesbitt and pro talent. If all you have is your head stuck in the clouds, you can go join the Notre Dame fans. Dynasties are built. You aren't good just cause your program is storied. Your program is storied, because you made it good.
September 9th, 2012
7:18 am
The difference this week over last is the talent level. If Tech had half the quality players UGA recruits what you saw last night would have been what you would have seen last week against VT. Until recruits understand that this offense with a high talent level is unstoppable and that if your really good the NFL will indeed find you,Tech will continue to struggle against top 25 opponents.

As with an extreme sport, safety is always a main concern.
Many emergency medical personnel were on staff all day Saturday, in case a situation on the bridge took a turn for the worse.
52 emergency staff members were on hand with 18 ambulances on the New River Gorge Bridge grounds. A hospital tent was set up on the bottom of the bridge with two physicians and a full nursing staff.
"We've had a couple of tree situations with rescues, they were pre roped so that was easy. Across the river a little more significant tree rescue, Fayette County rescue team was able to help the gentlemen down. No significant injuries on either of those rescues," Director of Operations for Jancare Ambulances, Paul Seamann, told 59News.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Far northwest Wisconsin got its heaviest snow of the season overnight. Superior had 7.5-inches by four o'clock this morning. Six inches fell at Spooner and at Mason in Bayfield County.
In west central Wisconsin, 2 inches of snow fell at La Crosse and Neillsville. That was on top of freezing rain in some places. Clark County sheriff's deputies said numerous vehicles slid into ditches during the night, because drivers couldn't see the ice under the snow. Freezing rain was reported in both Clark and Taylor counties.
More of it is possible today and tomorrow, along with rain and snow in various parts of the state. Far southern Wisconsin is supposed to get only rain. Relatively mild temperatures should continue the next couple days, with highs in the 30's-and-40's statewide and lows in the 20's-and-30's. Much colder weather is expected on Thursday once the precipitation clears out. By Saturday, highs in northwest Wisconsin might not get past five-above.
