Frank Martin
Frank Martin was named the head men's basketball coach at the University of South Carolina on March 27, 2012, becoming the 32nd head coach in the history of the South Carolina program, which enters its 106th season as a varsity sport in 2013-14. Martin owns a 131-72 (.645) overall record as a head coach, entering his seventh season overall, and second season at South Carolina.
Since his appointment as head coach in Columbia, Martin, 47, has become a fixture in the community. He has spoken at numerous events, including Gamecock Club Fan Fests, numerous community council and rotary club events, coaching clinics, and the Fathers and Families Decades of Dads event, among others. He was also selected as a Court Coach for USA Basketball in June 2012, assisting Florida head coach Billy Donovan with the Men's U18 National Team training camp in Colorado Springs, Colo., at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. The camp was used to determine the 12-member roster that represented the USA at the 2012 FIBA Americas U18 Championship in late June.
Martin was honored again during the summer of 2013, serving as an assistant coach for the United States on head coach Bob McKillop's staff alongside Michigan head coach John Beilein for the U.S. Men's World University Games team. The squad spent time in Colorado Springs at training camp, before embarking on a two-week journey to Kazan, Russia, in early July, for the event.
During his first season (2012-13) in Columbia, Martin led his squad to a 14-18 record, which included a 4-14 mark in SEC contests. The Garnet and Black captured the Hoops For Hope Classic tournament crown after posting a 4-0 record competing in the event with home victories over Milwaukee and Rider, before defeating Missouri State in overtime, and UALR in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, over the Thanksgiving holiday. Freshman forward Michael Carrera was honored after the conclusion of the regular season with selection to the 2013 SEC All-Freshman Team, as voted on by the league's head coaches. During the spring of 2013, the Gamecock coaching staff signed seven freshmen, while welcoming Villanova transfer Ty Johnson to the team, a recruiting class which ranked No. 23 in the nation according to ESPN.com.
Martin spent the previous five season as the head coach at Kansas State University, leading the Wildcats to the NCAA Tournament four times, including a trip to the "Elite 8," during the 2009-10 campaign when the squad won a school record 29 contests. Martin's Wildcats won at least 21 games in each of his five seasons at the helm, as the program compiled a record of 117-54 (.684) under Martin's direction. During that time, Kansas State posted a 50-32 (.609) record in Big 12 Conference games, finishing fifth or higher in each season, with three season finishes of third or better.
During his first season as a college head coach during the 2007-08 campaign, Martin's squad posted a 21-12 overall record and finished third in the Big 12 with a mark of 10-6 in league contests. The third-place finish by the Wildcats marked the program's best finish since the inception of the league. The squad advanced to the NCAA Tournament and Martin led his team to the program's first NCAA Tournament victory since the 1988 campaign with an 80-67 win over Southern California in the event's opening round.
During that season, Martin tutored rising star Michael Beasley, then just a freshman, to one of the best seasons by a rookie in NCAA history, as the standout posted 26.2 points and 12.4 rebounds per contest to earn National Player of the Year accolades from CBSSports.com and Rivals.com. Beasley was also named a consensus first team All-American and was named the Big 12 Player and Freshman of the year by the league's coaches that season. Freshman Bill Walker, also a standout for the Wildcats in 2007-08, earned third team All-American honors following the campaign. Beasley (No. 2 pick) and Walker (No. 47 pick) were both selected in the 2008 NBA Draft.
Success continued for the Wildcats during the 2008-09 season. The squad compiled an overall record of 22-12 and finished tied for fourth in the Big 12 with a 9-7 mark, propelling Kansas State to an at-large bid to the Postseason NIT. Under Martin's leadership, the Wildcats continued to shine, as junior Denis Clemente earned the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year award and was named to the all-conference squad, joining honorable mention honoree, sophomore guard Jacob Pullen.
Martin's 2009-10 team posted a school-record 29-8 overall mark and finished tied for second in the Big 12 with a record of 11-5 en route to the school's first NCAA Tournament "Elite 8" appearance in over two decades. During the regular season, KSU earned its first win over a No. 1 ranked opponent since the 1994 campaign with a 71-62 win over top-ranked Texas. The Wildcats finished the season ranked in the nation's Top 10 in both major polls, including a No. 7 ranking in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Top 25 Poll. Kansas State earned a No. 2 seed in the 2010 NCAA Tournament, the highest seed in school history. KSU recorded three wins in the Tournament, defeating North Texas, BYU and Xavier.
Martin was the runner-up in the Associated Press' National Coach of the Year award in 2010, while he was a finalist for the Naismith Men's College Basketball Coach of the Year and the CollegeInsider.com's Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year awards. He earned Big 12 Coach of the Year honors that season from the league's coaches, the AP and Sporting News among others. Pullen earned All-Big 12 First Team honors, while Clemente was named to the second team and rising star, sophomore Jamar Samuels was selected as the Big 12 Sixth Man Award winner. Pullen and Clemente both earned All-America honors following the historic season.
The 2010-11 team posted the fourth 20-win season under Martin, as the squad collected an overall record of 23-11, including a 10-6 mark in league play (tied for third). The team also advanced to the NCAA Tournament's third round, the squad's third appearance in the Tournament under the fourth-year head coach. The team struggled through the early portion of the Big 12 campaign, dropping five of its first seven league contests. The team rallied to close the season, however, posting wins in nine of its last 11 regular-season contests.
The Wildcats earned several marquee wins during the 2010-11 campaign, including a victory over No. 1 Kansas, marking the second-straight season the Wildcats earned a win over a top-ranked team. Pullen concluded his career as the school's all-time leading scorer with 2,132 points and earned All-American honors at the conclusion of the season. The team finished the season ranked among the nation's Top 25 in both major polls.
Martin's 2011-12 squad posted an overall mark of 22-11 and once again advanced to the NCAA Tournament Third Round. The NCAA selection marked KSU's school-record sixth-straight season with a berth in the postseason, and fifth under the direction of Martin. The Wildcats posted a 10-8 mark in Big 12 play to finish fifth, which saw Kansas State join cross-state rival Kansas as the only Big 12 schools to receive a bye into the quarterfinals of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship in each of the last six seasons (five under Martin). Junior Rodney McGruder was selected to the All-Big 12 squad, while he and junior Jordan Henriquez, who ranked among the nation's top 40 in blocked shots per game, were named to the All-Defensive team. Samuels also earned All-Big 12 honorable mention honors.
Before his appointment as head coach at Kansas State, Martin served one season as the top assistant and recruiting coordinator at the school for then-head coach Bob Huggins during the 2006-07 campaign. He helped coach two all-conference players that season and helped KSU post one of the nation's top recruiting classes in 2006, as the group was ranked No. 1 by Scout.com and Rivals.com. The class included the No. 1 recruit in Michael Beasley and No. 6 Bill Walker.
Martin first joined the Kansas State staff after spending two seasons as an assistant coach at Cincinnati. He first served as an assistant for Bob Huggins during the 2004-05 campaign, and then for Andy Kennedy in 2005-06. The Bearcats advanced to the postseason in both of those seasons, including a trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2005. Martin's first college coaching position came as an assistant at Northeastern (2000-2004), where he helped coach eight all-conference players.
Prior to his time on the sidelines in the college ranks, Martin spent 15 years in high school coaching in Miami, Fla., including the last seven as a head coach. He was part of five state championships as an assistant at Miami Senior High School (1985-93), before earning two titles as the program's head coach (1995-99). Highlighting Martin's stint as the head coach of the program were consecutive 30-win seasons and consecutive Florida 6A State Championships in 1996 and 1997, with his 1997 squad earning a 36-1 overall record and ranking No. 4 in the USA Today Top 25 Poll. He helped develop 14 players that went on to play NCAA Division I basketball, while all 21 of his players graduated with 19 of those attending college.
He also served as the head coach at North Miami Senior High School (1993-95) and one season at Booker T. Washington High School (1999-2000).
A native of Miami, Fla., Martin earned his bachelor's degree in physical education from Florida International in 1993. He and his wife, Anya, have three children, Brandon, Amalia and Christian.

Major thank you to The Daily Mail. Very well researched article.

"Ok, this might be a little unpopular. But I find myself feeling kind of concerned for the other women who have entered the contest, if Nancy wins. If the person who's making a mockery of the contest wins the contest, what does that say about the women - some of whom are aspiring career models - who actually cared about the contest? I get it, it's all a joke on AA, and they fucking deserve it, but the joke can turn around on this and be mean to the people she's trying to speak for.
I'm not even saying that she's doing something bad, either - the photos are brilliant and she's so, so awesome for doing this. But even she is suggesting on her blog that people should vote for the girls who're really trying to win, and I hope that people take her words to heart. It's important to remember that she's making fun of AA here, NOT the people who've chosen to participate in their game. Because AA are the asshats, not the competitors."
Awesome debate and discussion over in the Jezebel forums. Excellent point, Nicolechat!
And the title was taken from a great comment by Grive @lapaginahueon.
Exactly. Exactly, exactly, exactly.
Very well spoken and thought provoking blog entry about the relationship to weight, fashion, food and advertising. Always was and always will be a Leah Winkler fan.
For the record, I cannot speak French, so I can't read the article itself. However, the Google translation makes me really, really happy. Merci beaucoup, Madmoizelle!

"Nancy Upton denounces American Apparel Contest
Laid in joy and gladness by Emilie. September 8, 2011You had recently talked about the introduction of a size XL in American Apparel and the competition that accompanied it. Nancy Upton is a daughter of Dallas. It either, she has not forgotten the famous "It's not our Demographic." It participates in the competition for better denouncing because for her, The Next Big Thing is a big operation foutage of mouth round against girls.
In addition to her profile, she created a tumblr: ExtraWiggleRoom . Instead of asking so glamorous, Nancy slice of liquid chocolate in panties, takes a bath mayo, nibbling chicken drumsticks in the pool and thinks he's a pig. In short, Nancy is the dirty porn-sauce American Apparel. She said the competition is just an excuse to hide the curves for girls in dressing.
In any case, his little Trojan seems to work, Nancy is already fourth in the table to vote ."
Laid in joy and gladness by Nancy. September 8 2011.
I'm very happy (and grateful) to see an article that so well articulates the fact that my entrance into this "contest" is me voicing my disapproval of American Apparel policy and NOT in any way a statement about the life of the plus-sized woman or the women who have submitted photos.
I very much appreciate the votes I've received- I thank everyone who took time out of their lives to do so.
It seems like a good time to answer a question on peoples' minds:
I most certainly would not model for American Apparel, because (pretty obviously) I don't agree with their business practices. I also would not expect to be asked to do so, even if I receive a majority of the votes (something I never planned on).
That being said, someone will. While I disagree with the message American Apparel is sending in the way they handled this competition, other people do not. They feel very passionately that it is an EXCELLENT opportunity either for their careers, or for plus-sized women in general.
And I respect that opinion. If you feel the same way- either sharing those opinions, or supporting the people that have them, I encourage you to go vote for the women who are currently occupying the top voting slots, like Brittney W. of San Antonio or Tine S. from Belgium. Both are beautiful, talented, professional models who deserve a mainstream campaign, as are many MANY other women in the competition.
And I don't just consider them to be beautiful, talented and professional for, you know, plus-sized women. I consider them to be beautiful, talented and professional PEOPLE. Size and beauty are not mutually exclusive.

Inside the post-game locker room on Friday night, the Rock Island boys' basketball team modestly celebrated an 80-32 Western Big 6 Conference win over United Township at the Panther Den. The hoopla was saved for another time.
"We're trying to be humble," Rocky senior guard Brian Richardson later said.
The praise came from the other locker room.
"They were what they are," UT coach Marc Polite said. "They utilize their athleticism. They did a good job of attacking the lane. That's what Rocky does. We just weren't able to stop them on the defensive side of the ball."
In snagging another comfortable league road win, the Rocks (7-0, 2-0 Big 6) reached the 80-point mark for the second time this year with another efficient offensive performance. No celebration, though, was needed as Rocky did what it has done all season.
Then again, the Rocks took their offense to another level.Every player who dressed scored at least three points, with Richardson (12 points) and Raahsaan Brown (11) the only two reaching double figures. Eight players scored five points or more.
"I just love our balance," Richardson said. "I can have an 'off' night, but C.J. Carr, Trey Sigel, Raahsaan Brown or Rob Johnson can pick us up. That's great for our team."
Adding to the victory was a defensive display that Rocky coach Thom Sigel thought overshadowed the offensive display. The Rocks held an opponent below 35 points for the first time this season and limited UT to 22 percent (13 of 59) shooting and 21 turnovers.
The first quarter set the tone for Rocky's fourth consecutive double-digit victory as the Panthers (1-7, 0-2), which have dropped six straight games in the series, scored two points and went 1 of 14 from the field.
"We played good defense," Richardson said.
UT could not find any rhythm nor could it consistently make shots.
"Our first couple games of the season, we were able to make some shots," said Polite, who received 11 points from Deveric Rogers. "It seems like since we've come home (the last three games), we get that cold first quarter. ... When you're missing all of them, you're not going to be able to play against a team like Rock Island."
The Rocks did not allowed UT to stay close knowing the Panthers shook off a big deficit last Friday against Quincy to get close in the second half.
"We had a talk at halftime," Thom Sigel said. "They were reminded of playing 32 minutes."
In 32 minutes, the Rocks allowed 32 points.On offense, they shot 52.5 percent (31 of 59) from the field.
All that carried Rocky to its 19th win in its last 22 league games.
"We try to compete as hard as we can," Richardson said. "We figured the season would start off like this, but we can't let it get to our heads. We just want to keep winning and see how long we can do this."

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Mark Richt won his 100th career game as Georgia's head coach at the same place he recorded his first signature victory.
The Bulldogs pulled out a 20-12 victory over Tennessee Saturday night before a sell-out crowd of 102,455 at Neyland Stadium, where Larry Munson introduced the world to the hobnail boot. And Georgia nearly made it as dramatic.
The outcome was uncertain until Tennessee quarterback Matt Sims was sacked on the game's final play. But that did nothing to quell the postgame celebration, which was said to rival the one Georgia had here 10 years ago almost to the day.
"We're happy," Richt said well after the locker room had cleared. "We had a great celebration after the game and it was a lot of fun. I'm very humbled at the way the players and coaches responded to me. One hundred victories is kind of hard to believe. But they belong to everyone that has played here and coached. To win here is very difficult to do."
Made even more difficult when you lose 46 yards on two downs.
That's what happened to the Bulldogs when they were flagged for three holding penalties and a facemask early in the fourth quarter. At the time they were eyeing first-and-10 at the Tennessee 23 and contemplating going up by at least three more points, which would have put them ahead three scores. Instead, Georgia ended up facing second-and-56 at its own 33. Two plays later they punted back to the Vols on fourth-and-58.
"I hate that there was that much drama at the end," Richt said, now able to laugh about it, "but that's what happens when you get fourth-and-58."
Nevertheless, the victory was the fourth in a row for the Bulldogs (4-2, 3-1 SEC), who suddenly find themselves tied with South Carolina for the SEC Eastern Division lead. It was Georgia's first win at Neyland Stadium since 2005.
The Gamecocks face road tests at Mississippi state, Tennessee and Arkansas in their next three games. The Bulldogs will be back in Tennessee next week to face Vanderbilt (3-2, 1-2), then get an off week before traveling to Jacksonville to face Florida.
Tennessee falls to 3-2 and 0-2 in the SEC.
Georgia broke open the game with a pair of touchdown runs by Isaiah Crowell in the third quarter. The Bulldogs' defense, which has played so well in recent weeks, made it stand up. Crowell finished with 58 yards on 18 carries. Quarterback Aaron Murray was 15-of-25 passing for 227 yards.
"I expected it to be a war and it was," Crowell said. "It was very physical, but we came out with the W and that's all that matters."
Crowell came out of the game with wrist and ankle injuries."It's all right," the freshman from Columbus said. "It feels a lot better after a win. I'll be ready to go next week."
Georgia also lost dynamic freshman wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell in the game. Mitchell pulled a hamstring a 73-yard reception that turned out to be the most critical play in the game. He finished with three catches for 128 yards but could not play the game's final 20 minutes.
"We don't think he just blew it up," Richt said of Mitchell. "He wanted to go back in. We're hopeful he'll be back by the Florida game. That's what we hope."
Tennessee lost starting quarterback Tyler Bray to a broken thumb in the fourth quarter.
Georgia's defense was the main reason the Bulldogs were able to escape with victory. They held Tennessee to minus-20 yards rushing, recorded two sacks and kept the Vols' quarterbacks under pressure throughout.
"I think the guys have gotten more confidence as we've gone along," defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said. "We've played a lot of players. We've had safeties playing linebacker, we've had linebackers playing outside and inside. We actually had Abry Jones playing outside [linebacker] some today, just because of where we are with our depth because of injuries. I'm real proud of the way they're playing and their efforts."
Georgia was able to overcome some sloppy play in the fourth quarter in which it was penalized five times for 48 yards after reaching the Tennessee 23-yard line. Instead of at least getting a field goal that would have forged a three-score lead, the Bulldogs had to punt the ball from their own 31 on fourth-and-58.
Tennessee scored on a one-yard sneak by Matt Sims with 2:45 to play. It was just the second touchdown Georgia's defense had allowed in the last 16 quarters. But Shawn Williams blocked the ensuing point-after attempts and the Bulldogs took over at the Tennessee 35 after the Vols onside kick went out of bounds.
With Tennessee out of timeouts, Georgia was able to run out clock before punting with 18 seconds remaining. The Vols took over at their own 20 and the game ended with Jarvis Jones sacking quarterback Matt Sims. Sims was in the game because starting quarterback Tyler Bray had been sidelined with a hand injury on the previous possession.
"We're able to laugh about it now," said quarterback Aaron Murray, who had 227 yards on 15-of-25 passing. "I wasn't sure what we'd call on third-and-57, a take-off or what. We don't want to do that. Our defense was playing great and we could have put it out of reach right there. We just have to learn from our mistakes."
Georgia's fortunes turned midway through the third quarter. Marlin Lane was awarded a touchdown on a 66-yard catch-and-run on third-and-long. But a protracted video review by officials determined that Lane's knee was down on a tackle by linebacker Michael Gilliard at the Tennessee 47, three yards shy of a first down.
So instead of a touchdown, the Vols punted and Georgia took over at its own 7-yard line. Three plays later, the Bulldogs went ahead 20-6 on a 17-yard run by Crowell. The score was set up by Murray's 73-yard strike to Mitchell on first down at Georgia's 7.
"There was a discussion on what to do there," Richt said. "There was that play or try to knock it out of there running the football. Mike [Bobo] wanted to throw that because he felt their coverage was going to give us the post. I said, 'do it; throw Birmingham.'"
"I'll be making sure Malcolm's in the rehab room," Murray joked. "That was the biggest play of the day. To get us down there to the 20 or so and then bunch it in right there changed the whole game right there."

Congrats to Richt … but this win should have come two (?) seasons ago! And, one of those wins should have been a National Championship ('08) when LSWho leapfrogged us in the BCS rankings to play OhioSt. — we got robbed that year! Hopefully the ship is being righted, but still leery of BooBoo calling the run-up-the-middle play on 3rd and long!

What controversial play? the Tenneessee player was clearly down, and it wasn't his knee! you could see his butt bump-off the turf in the re-play. I want to know one thing. Where are all the Mark Richt, Mike Bobo haters? After all, it was Bobo who got Richt's permission to throw the post to Mitchell for a 73 yd. gain……….and we were backed up inside our own 10………That play, DOG fans was the turning point of the game…………….Don't you BULLDOG…..er….a… Mark Richt haters think it is only fair to point out the good with the bad? Coach Mark Richt far out-classed a very bright Derick Dooley in this one and in doing so won his 100th game as BULLDOG coach. The rest of the season seems to be set, though we may not win out, I don't see any melt-downs. The University of Georgia should finish the season with a respectable win loss record and another top 5 recruiting class…….BULLDOG NATION take note at this win tonight, it is the begining of another major up-surge for our beloved DAWGS……….Coach Mark Richt has learned alot over the last few years, Me? I see us winning the National Championship before we trend down again……..After all, we are The University of Georgia BULLDOGS……………RED

Malcolm Mitchell – Valdosta – hamstring 6 games into the season. Great Strength and Conditioning. Man. My favorite player by a wide margin. On-pace to have over 1,000 yards receiving. He didn't even Start vs South Carolina. Why do we keep throwing to anyone else other than Orson Charles, whom we threw 1 pass all-night long. Orson will be much better used next season in the NFL. Malcolm Mitchell has 2 more years after this one before he goes to the NFL, where he will be properly and professionally conditioned. We absolutely have to sit Malcolm for the Vandie game. No margin for error on that with the off-week after Vandie.
Worst Officiated football game I have ever watched :
Officials: Referee: Hubert Owens; Umpire: Russ Pulley; Linesman: Al Matthews; Line judge: Terry Walters; Back judge: Stan Murray; Field judge: Greg Thomas; Side judge: Chris Jamison
Isaiah Crowell made the 2 touchdown runs, and took some big hits. He got beat-up and got back out there and made the difference.
Ray Drew hit the field.
David Andrews and Hunter Long, OL recruits Dream Team, have both sort of hit the field too, much like Ray Drew. All 3 just a waste of their year of eligibility.
Amarlo Herrera did not start in two (2) games. Truly amazing.
Cornelius Washington was not missed on this night, not against this cupcake.
Next cupcake – 5th in a Row, is Vandie.
11-3 still looks about right; it had better be with this soft-easy schedule. South Carolina won again and played a different quarterback in so-doing. There is no way we should have lost to South Carolina. Thanks a lot Aaron Murray – who threw behind receivers and overthrew wide open receivers for touchdowns all night long vs that lousy defense.

This is one of the most oddly-written stories I have ever seen. It's repetitive and convoluted, like it was cobbled together from a bunch of different snippets and details.
The bottom line? The Dawgs were clearly the better team. Before halftime, it felt like the Dawgs were letting an inferior team hang around. After halftime, the outcome never really seemed in doubt–even when the yellow-flag-fest kept us from going up 23-6 (or worse).
I'm sorry to hear about Tyler Bray's thumb. The game was all over but the shoutin' when he was injured. And while Simms did well last night in relief, it was the emergence of Bray that seemed to make UT a decent team at the end of last season.

Thomas Brown was a much better player than he is a poster.

??? Just how can you go to the re-play booth on the first fumble—and come back to say "ruling on the field is confirmed, Tennessee recovered the fumble" when it was clear Herrerra was holding the ball? Say the whistle blew but, Tenn recovered the ball? What a joke that was! Congrats Richt on your 100th win–

I swear watchin this coachin staff is just messin with my sobriety. Yeah I know they did some good things, but they always find a way to do something stupid to negate it. Was there no other running back in 50 effing states bigger than Carlton Thomas? Are you kidding me? And where the hell was our blitz package? Bray had time to make a go-dam omelet back there. Geez…..where's the tenacity to absolutely put teams away? No….that would be too easy. Richt likes to let them hang around and make people throw sh!t at the TV.

Good win. But I'm still not going to change my mind about Richt because we beat a terrible UT team. In fact Dooley and his coaches are more incompetent than Richt's staff. That 4th quarter was embarrassing and shows how unprepared and undisciplined this team can still be. All I will say is Richt got darn lucky with this SEC schedule or he would be toast. He will win just enough to keep his job and UGA will never win a national championship under his stewardship so congrats Richt fans you will probably get your wish. But the fans who desire greatness will be left to hope for another day.

He is beating cupcakes, only.
Still is 3-10 vs teams who finished in the AP Poll Top 25
Still is 17-26 vs teams who finished in the AP Poll Top 25
Still has 10 losses to teams not finishing in the AP Poll Top 25
All he did was make himself 100 wins with none of the 100 meaningful
And, why is that ?
Because the 3 times he did beat a team who finished in the Top 10 he lost 4 games, 3 games and 4 games; and because 2002 found only 1 other SEC team finishing in the Coaches' Poll Top 25 – a 4 loss Auburn, while losing 2002 to a team who did not end up in any Top 25 Poll at all going 0-11 on 3rd down conversions for the game. And because 2005 he ended up not # 1 of all SEC teams in the final polls, but the # 3 SEC team 2005. 2007 LSU did not benefit from BCS hosing Mark Richt when they beat 2 teams finishing AP Poll Top 10 while he beat none – adding in as always the loss to a 6-6 South Carolina team not even in a bowl game and the blow-out loss to the vols an avg at best team 2007. Thank goodness Isaiah Crowell willed himself back in the game, utterly beat-up to win the game for us, NOT Aaron Murray.

Does the 3-4 defense account for an opposing team's tightend? We made that kid look like a king. Otherwise, great win. GATA!

If UGA won every game by 50 points and won a national title there would still be some of you idiots complaining abut some little facet. They would complain if you hung them with a new rope.
Be happy that we are 4-2 and looking good for the East title.
October 9th, 2011
9:05 am
Hate to break it to you Thomas Brown, but one of the biggest plays of the game was Murray's pass to Mitchell. I know that you'd love to pretend that the ball somehow appeared in Mitchell's hands, but the fact is that Murray hit him in stride. Bottom line is for you and the rest of the haters…you've already made up your mind that Richt needs to go and Murray needs to be replaced, so no matter what they do right, you'll only focus on the negative. Congrats! Great way to approach life! The best part is, that as the Dawgs continue to win, Richt stays, Murray plays, and you get to sulk cause you're not getting your way…HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I guess that I will never understand how a guy that played football as long as Richt can never get fired up at a game. I love to watch Saban, Muschamp & now Dabo is my new hero. I love to see a football coach that shows he loves the game & coaching. Maybe he sat on the bench so long that his personality developed this way. Anyway, our offense plays like his pesonality. Defense plays with a little more fire than in past, I guess because DC shows some emotion. We need Erk to coach our offensive line. Who is our line coach? Has anyone ever seen them get chewed out ever? We have the biggest line in college & NFL. We should be romping the down the field like a triple option offense. I'm glad for the win, but we still look same & are allowed to drop guard when we get a lead. Our players never feel the urgency in keeping the pressure on a down opponent. Watch Bama when they get the lead. They turn up the pressure & that is when Sabban chews people out. Announcers stated that Richt used pro style practice system last year & we weren't in shape. Booboo stated earlier that "Crowell would be good when he got in shape". Top recruit states that he likes UGA because he can share time w/ other back & lengthen pro career. All of our linemen go pro, but do nothing at UGA. R they saving themselves. Get some linemen like Boise that want to be a Dawg & not worry about pro. Why does Crowell hurt his finger or something on every other play & then come out? Announcer states that he should come out of ballgame at end of game & then I flip channel & see Au is down by 24 w/ 3 min left & Dyer is still carrying the ball . Spurrier doesn't pull no 21. We'll never any better than we are now & Richt will never win a NC because the SEC will never be down like it was in early decade. He won't even win another SEC & will only have a chance if Au doesn't move over & UF & Tenn programs completely fall apart. I'm sick of this guy. Our games are so boring to watch & a win is such a letdown. Heck, I am getting where I dread the games. I went the Miss St game & didn't even go to the stadium & now that I think about it, was much happier after the game. Signed, Love the Dawgs since the 60s but sick of Richt, yaakkkk.

The bad news for Ole Miss, MSU and Tennesse is that the Georgia Bulldogs are apparently not a cupcake team. . Congratulations to Mark Richt on 100 wins. As an alum and proud fan it's nice to wake up this morning and cheer – ."It's great, to be, a GEORGIA BULLDOG! It's great, to be, a GEORGIA BULLDOG! It's great, to be, a GEORGIA BULLDOG! It's great, to be, a GEORGIA BULLDOG! …

Thomas Brown, I woke up this morning and the score was still 20-12. We win on the road and you are still complaining. I thought I told you on Friday to get some sleep, regroup, refocus and then seek help. You obviously haven't done so.

same old dawg.. Spurrier should have pulled Lattimore.. injuries happen… no need to run the score way up… 3 T.D.'s is enough !!

9:59 am
Same Ol Dawg……if you're so sick of the Dawgs why don't you go grab a six pack and fall asleep in a deer stand somewhere on Saturdays? Playing on the road at Tennesse is one of the most difficult SEC venues to play and win in….the last two times we went up there we arguably had better teams and got blown up – this time we win and supposed fans like you STILL are Bit***n and moaning. We opened the season with two of the better teams in the country and have since won 4 straight – two of those were SEC road games with a third road game coming up. What do you want? Yes, the schedule favors us this year but Florida had a couple of years where they began AND ended the year with REAL cupcakes. As for Crowell – he's a true freshman! Last year Lattimore was toast in the second half of the season as he got beat up as a true freshman – these kids need time to build up – he was playing in high school this time ,last year for pete's sake – geez, be realsitic. I agree with you that we seem to get off the accelerator when we get a lead and that drives me crazy too but overall – 4 wins in a row and tied for the lead in the SEC east???????? What is there to complain about!!!! We haven't even seen Boo Malcolm hit the field yet and I think Crowell is doing GREAT being a freshman and bearing the load lke he is! Four wins in a row is a GOOD THING! GO DAWGS!

"Pollyanna" masquerading as "Thomas Brown"…always finding the negative, right along with "layinlow". Please change your "allegiance" to some other team. It's one thing to point out areas that need improvement; but to constantly call for the heads of CMR and CMB is just negativity in the extreme. Heck, we're right up there total yards and PPG. Someone even blamed CMR for Mitchell's hammy. Amazin'.
I submit that it's not so much CMB's play-calling as it is the players not executing sometimes. EG Murray's long-ball accuracy needs a lot of improvement, as do the WRs needing to improve their route-running and catching. CMB calls some good plays but the players need to execute.
"…need to throw more to O.Charles…" Well, if he'd get open I'm sure we would. Or, if he is open, it's up to Murray to recognize it.
We just went up to Knoxville and beat the #1 rated QB and his team. I was quite proud of the Dawgs coming out ready to play in the 3rd qtr. That's improvement. Just keep on improving and we can beat Vandy. Yes, we better take Vandy seriously.

The offense is still erratic but the defense is coming on and Walsh made his field goals. Don't sleep on the 'Dores. They played Bama tough for half the game. With our WR super star out the game will low scoring. Proud of the Dawgs.

10:26 am
I still don't understand the running plays when we're "x and 21, wait 31, wait 41, wait 51″. We might not have gotten the first down but the surest way to fail is not to try.
And don't give me that crap about an interception – we threw it plenty when we were on our side of the field….

Residents of a Staten Island neighborhood were underwhelmed with a movie stunt they had been warned about before hand to alleviate concerns.
People were told they shouldn't be alarmed if they see a massive fireball go off on Tuesday.
A film crew was at the Great Kills Swim Club simulating an explosion. Firefighters and police were on site to monitor the stunt.
People lined up expecting a large blast. It ended up being relatively small.
The film is reportedly is titled Staten Island Summer and is due out next year.

We're into the second week of February, and for those of you in school, that means a lot of research is coming your way (When school isn't called for a snow day, of course.). Mid-Continent Public Library would love to help you with your work, even if you can't make it to a branch. Have you tried our research databases? They offer
Read more
I have always found the Research Databases to be not only informative, but also entertaining. When I was asked to host a program in November that would showcase our business databases, I was very enthusiastic. Many people are unaware of the valuable information contained in these databases that is available free of charge. The only requirement is to have a valid Mid-Continent Public library card.
You might not be ready to think about it, but the summer is almost over. It will be time to go back to school soon. What better way to get prepared than to attend a free demonstration at the North Oak Branch?
Many of us will admit to being procrastinators. We put off doing an assignment or project until the last minute, and then finally, we put the effort in and wrap it up in a flurry of activity. It's estimated that 80-95% of college students procrastinate, and 75% of them actually consider themselves procrastinators. They devote weeks to gathering information but are unable to finish their paper because they didn't leave enough time for actually writing the paper. "Student Syndrome" is the term
Academic writing is completely different from any other kind of writing; it requires a type of thinking that has to be learned and developed over time. The first step in writing an effective research paper is choosing a topic. For me, coming up with the idea of what to write about always happens one of two ways; it either begins with a vague thought that develops into a general idea the day before the proposal is due, or it strikes all at once in a moment of manic epiphany complete with excruciating detail demanding to be composed immediately.
At MGC, we do our best to give you multiple ways to search for your genealogy, from databases to books to microfilm. And our topics range from Civil War history to researching your Cherokee, Irish, or German ancestry. In the spirit of trying to encompass more than European ancestry or early American ancestry, we want to highlight many of our other ethnic resources. So, I set off on a journey to find MGC's resources for Samoan genealogy research.
Tom and Eliza Felps lived in a cabin on Miller Creek in Blanco County, Texas with their two children (Callie, aged 2 and Tom Jr., aged 6 months). That summer, Tom and Eliza took their children to the White ranch to stay with her mother while Eliza's father, a county judge named Simeon Tracy White, was away on court duties. On July 21, Mrs. White kept the children while Tom and Eliza went to Cypress Creek to catch fish for dinner. There, they were attacked and killed by Comanches.
Look at the writing example above. Beginning with a 'c' and ending 'r' or 'n' and a count of five minims, the word could be: copper, coffin, captain, castle, or cotton. Can you think of other possibilities?
When reading modern text, we generally identify whole words at a glance. Look at this sentence:
The human mind deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe wouthit any porbelm.
Have you hit a brick wall in your Genealogy research? Need help translating that German document? Having trouble with FamilyTree Maker? The Midwest Genealogy Center may be able to help. We have staff members and volunteers that will meet with you by appointment. This free service does not replace the assistance of a professional and/or paid researcher, but in many cases, our staff and volunteers may be able to help you break through that brick wall in your research.
If you have ever been skeptical that you may not be able to learn about your ancestors from Central or Eastern Europe due to language barriers, border changes, countries' name changes, or different spellings of names, then perhaps now you may be more optimistic.
Can we help you? Yes, of course we can. Loyal to our name--the Midwest Genealogy Center--we carry plenty of resources for the Midwestern genealogy enthusiasts. However, we have resources not only for the entire United States but for European research, as well.

Turks and Caicos Island holidays are known globally for their beaches. Whether you are taking your summer holiday or escaping for a little winter sun, Turks and Caicos holidays provide endless sun on some of the best beaches in the world. Nature plays a large role in life in the Turks and Caicos Islands, with over 33 protected natural areas from the salt marshes that provide a home to so many migratory bird species to the incredible coastline that has made scuba diving holidays to the Turks and Caicos Islands such an international success. The landscapes of the Turks and Caicos Islands are varied and stunning, with scenes which make it hard to believe that the islands weren't designed for use in film sets.
The scuba diving and snorkelling credentials if the Turks and Caicos Islands are unbelievable. Home to one of the world's largest coral reefs, stretching 200 miles, and with visibility of up to 200 feet, scuba holidays to Turks and Caicos are phenomenal. The amazing array of tropical marine species makes diving a fascinating activity, with Eagle rays, turtles, dolphins and even humpback whales using the seas during their migration. There will never be a shortage of scuba diving trips to be taken on a Turks and Caicos holiday, and regardless of your level of experience, there are some magnificent adventures to be found. The deep sea fishing off the Turks and Caicos Islands is well worth mentioning too, with record catches recorded almost every year.
The beaches of Turks and Caicos Islands are some of the finest in the world. The exquisite sand beaches in Turks and Caicos have been attracting sun-worshipers for many years, and you can always find a secluded spot or an activity filled beach from your Turks and Caicos villa, depending on your mood. With such dramatic scenery, it is little wonder that Turks and Caicos weddings are so popular. The white beaches are a simply iconic setting to get married, and Turks and Caicos weddings can be easily arranged.
Provo Golf Course is regarded as one of the best in the whole of the Caribbean, and with stunning tropical landscaping, 18 testing holes and all the practice facilities you could need, Provo Golf Course really does offer a treat to golfers on a Turks and Caicos holiday. If you would prefer to discover the centre of the islands without a golf club in hand, there are a great range of riding stables offering guided rides into the more remote and unspoilt regions of these beautiful islands.
The urban centre of Turks and Caicos, Providenciales, known locally as 'Provo' is the perfect starting point for any exploration of the Turks and Caicos Islands. The casino, 18 hole golf course, numerous restaurants and three marinas mean that you can experience the very best of the islands from one place. Beach lovers, divers and golfers will all be exceedingly happy in a self catering Turks and Caicos property in Provo.
Middle Caicos is the largest and least populated of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Fishing the waters of Middle Caicos with a local guide provides a sensational way to spend a day getting to know the islands and its culture, and the Lucayan Indians and Caves are worth exploring from any self catering Turks and Caicos accommodation.
There are on average 320 days of glorious sunshine every year in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Between August and November, conditions are at their hottest, but if you are looking for some winter sun, Turks and Caicos holidays are a fantastic idea. Between December and July, conditions are ideal, with endless balmy evenings and conditions which remain hot yet not so hot that you are rendered useless during the heat of the day. The rainy season lasts from the end of May until September, with the Turks and Caicos hurricane season lasting from September until November.
There are two international airports in the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Providenciales Airport (PLS) and the Grand Turk Airport (GDT). Services between the two take half an hour, but it is Providenciales Airport which is the most useful for Brits starting Turks and Caicos holidays, as there are direct services fromLondonHeathrow (LHR) provided by British Airways.

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
Friday, GBI agents were back on the scene with Albany Police, collecting additional evidence at 405 North Jackson Street. The body of Michael Odell was found inside the building on Sunday.
The Dougherty County coroner says autopsy results show Odell died of blunt force trauma to the body. Authorities are still trying to track down the people who may have saw him last.
"We're still talking to individuals. We're still trying to determine if there are more witnesses. We're still trying to gather information regarding suspects," said Phyllis Banks, the public relations media manager for APD.
The coroner says he believes Odell's body had been inside that building for about 10 days. Albany Police say this homicide investigation is ongoing.
Crime scene technicians were back on the scene at a home in downtown Albany building looking for evidence in the death of an Albany man.
Michael Gene Odell was found dead Sunday inside the building on North Jackson Street.
Officials report his body had been inside the building for at least 10 days and was decomposing. Investigators say the weather played a role in that process.
Albany Police have ruled that Odell's death was a homicide, and say they found several lacerations on his body.
No suspects have been named in the case. The investigation is ongoing.

Influenced most notably by 1980s synth pop acts such as The Human League and Heaven 17, with whom they collaborated for a BBC 6Music Live Combo performance, La Roux have injected a much needed dose of mystery and glamour into the pop world.
First discovered by influential French label Kitsuné, La Roux are a duo featuring charismatic singer Ellie Jackson and producer / songwriter Ben Langmaid, though you won't see the latter performing live with the band. Named after Jackson's distinctive haircut – La Roux means "the red haired woman" in French – they've been working together since 2006, releasing their debut single 'Quicksand' at the end of 2008. Its follow up for Polydor, 'In For The Kill', reached number 2 in the British charts a few months later following their nomination for the BBC's Sound of 2009 shortlist. The track was also nominated for a Brit in 2010, as were La Roux for Best British Breakthrough Act, and the duo have toured the US and Europe to much acclaim, including opening shows for Lily Allen's 2009 UK tour.

A man convicted for shooting at a South Bend Police Officer during a chase will spend 50 years in prison.
Joseph Fuentes, 37, was sentenced on Wednesday after being convicted of Attempted Murder, Criminal Recklessness, Resisting Law Enforcement, and Felon in Possession of a Handgun.
In October of last year, police were called out to reports of an armed disturbance. Police found Fuentes and another man, Jaime Duron, and attempted to take them into custody. Fuentes fled in a car, and fired a shot from a handgun during the chase.
Fuentes was found guilty in September of this year. Duron,38, was convicted of Intimidation, a Class A Misdemeanor. He was sentenced to one year, with 6 months suspended, and 6 months probation.

(WHAS11) -- How much weight you gain may be directly related to how much time you spend outside.
Vitamin D is often called the "sunshine vitamin" because most of us get our vitamin D from the sun. It helps maintain our bones and muscles.
New research shows that women are not getting enough of the vitamin and it could be why they are gaining weight.
Scientists say since the vitamin's main source is sunlight and those lacking in it may not spend enough time outdoors.

Even without any major statewide candidate contests to encourage turnout, African-American voters in Georgia are on track to cast a larger share of the presidential vote than in 2008, according to the latest figures from the secretary of state's office.
As of today, 780,545 Georgia voters have cast their ballots for the Nov. 6 election. Of those, 33 percent have been African-American.
In 2008, when drawn to the polls by the prospect of electing the nation's first black president, African-Americans cast 30 percent of 3.9 million votes in Georgia.
The question is whether this year's participation statistic will shrink between now and Tuesday week. Even if it drops slightly, it could be taken as a sign that President Barack Obama's political base remains enthusiastic, and hasn't been discouraged by the ups and downs of October.
You also have to wonder what heavy black turnout would mean for Georgia's charter school measure.
Here's that "first time" ad from the Barack Obama campaign – clearly aimed at the young and virginal – that everyone's talking about:
Those polls that show the presidential campaign to be a squeaker? Newt Gingrich doesn't believe them. From Politico.com:
"I believe the minimum result will be 53-47 Romney, over 300 electoral votes, and the Republicans will pick up the Senate," the former House speaker said Thursday night on Fox News's "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren."
Earlier this week, during an interview in Iowa, President Barack Obama predicted that, after the election was done, Washington would come together and create that "grand bargain" to address a $16 trillion federal debt and avoid the automatic tax hikes and spending cuts set to go into effect at the close of the year.
On Thursday, speaking Republican rather than Democrat, U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson said much the same thing:
Said Georgia's junior senator:
"I think we'll postpone the 'fiscal cliff' from the end of this year, into next year, with certain speed-bumps and thresholds that Congress must perform on before we get there. We've got a crisis ahead of us. It's got to be solved, it's got to be a comprehensive solution, which is going to take pushing it into next year. But we need a deadline to make sure Congress faces the music on spending, on entitlements and on taxes…."
It was pointed out that sequestration would cost Georgia 24,000 jobs. Said Isakson:
"Most of those jobs are in Marietta, Ga., where I live, at Lockheed-Martin. So I know a lot about what you're talking about. Automatic sequestration, across-the-board at the Department of Defense would be disastrous. Congress ought to be doing its jobs. We ought to be finding efficiencies that make sense."
Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge K. Dawson Jackson on Thursday dismissed a second lawsuit against opponents of the Nov. 6 ballot measure on charter schools. See the details here.
Plaintiffs had accused the Gwinnett school board and the Georgia School Board Association of improperly using taxpayer resources to campaign against the measure.
In tossing the request for court intervention, Jackson made a finding worth reading. He said the lawsuit qualified as a SLAPP action. That's a "strategic lawsuit against public participation" – often used by developers to freeze civilian opponents in zoning cases and such.
Lawson invoked the state's anti-SLAPP statute:
The General Assembly of Georgia has recognized that "it is in the public interest to encourage participation by the citizens of Georgia in matters of public significance through the exercise of their constitutional rights of freedom of speech and the right to petition government for redress of grievances.
"The General Assembly of Georgia further finds and declares that the valid exercise of the constitutional rights of freedom of speech and the right to petition government for a redress of grievances should not be chilled through abuse of the judicial process."
Over at WABE (90.1FM), Rose Scott reports that state Rep. Edward Lindsey, R-Atlanta, will introduce legislation to give parents more control over all public schools – including the right to change the administration of a low-performing school.
Now, some people might argue that Lindsey is advocating a reduction in local school board authority – and they would be right.

Now, more than ever the votes of fair minded people are essential, and that vote should be for Obama. So go vote. Vote for justice, accountability, a man who says what he means and does what he says. Vote for what is decent and right for America, all of America. Vote for the man who will stand up for women's rights, for equal rights, for equal pay, and the chance for a good life for all Americans, not just the wealthy. Vote for the future, for technology and education and a decent world for our children. If you think deeply and unselfishly you will see Obama is not only the better choice, but that he is truly special. You likely won't see the likes of a statesman of Obama's caliber again in your lifetime. In their own time most of the great presidents from both parties have been tested by events, and many faced a challenging path to election– Lincoln, Jefferson, FDR, Kennedy. Obama will be compared by history to such men. Look at his steady hand in foreign policy. Getting the job done with Bin Laden. Ending wars successfully rather than starting them recklessly. Effective and respected when working with world leaders. Look at his courage in taking the difficult path with healthcare—so badly in need of change. Look at his foresight in moving America towards clean energy, and away from dependency on foreign oil, and environmental damage from fossil fuels. Take the long view, the unselfish view, the righteous and patriotic view. Vote for Obama.

The Lena Dunham video is awesome! Thanks, Jim! If you're on the other side, you're wishing right now your guy thought to do a video like that.
Jim, any word on the Hispanic turnout so far in the state relative to 2008?
And why did Isaakson vote FOR the budget compromise if implementing it would be a "disaster" as he calls it? Or did he think we'd forget that part?

But it isn't racist that every single one of them is voting for Obama because he is black.
How many of these voters even know or even care that he supports indefinite detention and even assassination of US citizens without due process? How many of them even know anything about his policies other than the platitudes that show up on bumper stickers or the mainstream media?
But then how many Romney supporters know that he is just as bad as Obama on virtually every critical issue in this campaign?

The parent trigger law concept sounds interesting. If the major gripe about public schools is poor performance, too often the higher ups tend to stand behind their people or do to little to late. If such a law could be constructed so as to not allow a small but loud group of parents to ouster a school administration, it could be a better alternative than open a charter school and send your kids there.
There would need to be process in place for notification, discovery, debate, & voting by a plurality of parents. I would love to see such a process in place for the principal of Simpson Middle School.

@ Kevin, Jim never said they were voting for Pres. Obama. He said, "it could be taken as a sign that President Barack Obama's political base remains enthusiastic." I would put a bit more heavy emphasis on the COULD part. As in, it COULD be a sign of that, but it may not be.

The question is how do they know that 33% of the early voters have been African-American? Is someone sitting there recording the race of each one of those votes that comes in? Would this not be profiling? Are the Democrats not the ones who are always complaining about profiling? Also, most of them do not bat an eye when someone says they voted for BO just because he is Black, yet if you or I said we were voting for Romney since he is a white man running against a Black man, they would be aghast and all up in arms. The hypocrisy is rampant and shameless!

"Automatic sequestration, across-the-board at the Department of Defense would be disastrous."
Maybe. But the bill creating the automatic sequestration passed the Republican controlled House and the Democratic controlled Senate (over 60 votes) and was signed into law by the Democratic President.
October 26th, 2012
12:17 pm
"jess" you and I at least are on the same page. Yours was not posted when I was sending mine. Perhaps Jim Galloway could shed some light on this since he is the one who posted the article. Bet he doesn't even know. Also, just went back and watched the "first time" ad for BO. Her credibility was shot to h— right off the bat when I saw the huge tattoo on her arm. Looks like they really picked a winner to do that commercial. Virginal? yeah, right? Give me a break! Maybe that's why she is unemployed.(assuming that, just seems she would be) as most employers count that as a very negative thing in a job interview. Here's hoping the Obama campaign keeps running these type commercials.

Agreed Dum-Bass, this is an issue that I have been discussing with others', that is really the number #1 problem with this election (as well) as the last election, it's a genuine stereotype that if you are "black" you will only vote for Obama because he is not white; on the other hand, outside of homosexuals, will "white" people only vote for Romney so that the "black" President will be removed from the white house???? Questions, Questions, but very little answers…. I am a "black' male who is pulling for Romney, not because I dislike Obama, but because I am more Pro-Republican… but maybe I shouldn't speak too loudy… don't want to be called an "Uncle Tom"….lol
October 26th, 2012

@ Teamocil ARE voting or COULD be voting, it makes no difference!!!!! Just the thought of tying race to a voting preference/practice is prejudicial.
Think about it this way, if Romney had said "well I am white, so I could lose the African-American vote." How much hell would he have caught?
I was just saying how about we take the numbers from the SoS and put a heavy emphasis on the fact that this might show more people are voting!! In 2008 about half the people in this state voted. That is sad. More early voting and more absentee ballots shows that more people are voting. Perhaps a story on how this shows we should have the polls open for more than 1 day. Nah, he just went the easy route, race.

Galloway, have you ever heard of the Law of Large numbers? I know you stayed awake in English class but let me catch you up on the math classes you slept through…
Georgia has the largest black population in the country. Almost 32.8% of Georgians now call themselves black which is up from around 30% in 2008. For the past 40 years and since the Civil Rights era, African Americans have been migrating to the South and specifically to Atlanta, GA where it is seen as the Great Mecca of Black Culture.
So from election cycle to election cycle we would expect this trend to continue. So seeing 2 to 3 percentage points increase in voter turnout by blacks is in line with over all population trends here in Georgia.

I will bet you dollars to donuts that a lower percentage of AA voters cast their ballot for Obama this go round than did so in 2008. Turnout? If we get a higher AA turnout this time then it will be because the AA's who couldn't bring themselves to vote against the first AA nominee even though they disagreed with his socialist leanings, are not willing to sit on the sideline this time around after seeing the man trample on the future of our country for the last four years. We absolutely cannot withstand the long-term consequences of his judicial appointees.
As for you democrats who think you stand for something higher and more moral in the World – get over yourselves. Everyone on both sides of the aisle would like to see everyone prosper. Its the math in the bank account and historically significant statistics that show tax increases produce less revenue that are being ignored by the left. You can't support someone for life. Jesus didn't give Peter his fish. He taught him how to be a fisherman so that he could catch his own fish.

Your assumptions are foolish! I voted Obama in 2008. I'm white middle class. Millions of white wealthy, middle class and poor voted for him as well in 2008. To be honest, I'm not that excited about him again in 2012. Not because he is black because I and most could give a rats ass about whether he's black or half black. It's because he hasn't done much for the country by way of solving its problems. No one cares who caused it. Either you can fix it or you can't! If you can't let's get someone else in there that can!

Dawg Pound- From one Dawg to another, too many people don't realize that the president IS getting the job done. Six months into Obama's presidency, before his policies started to take effect, unemployment stood at 9.5%. It's now at 7.8%. So unemployment is actually way down. The number of people filing for new unemployment benefits is down. The real estate market is back up. Foreclosures are down. The stock market has nearly doubled since his first year. Not to mention he took out Bin Laden and saved the U.S. auto industry. THE JOB IS GETTING DONE. Don't go back to Bush era policies and economics when we're just now recovering from them.

A little history about the black people voting for Obama because he's black thing. No Democrat since Carter has managed to win less than 84 percent of the black vote in the presidential election. Kerry managed to win 88 percent, and Gore won 90 percent of the black vote. I suggest that 88-89 percent is the average any Democrat could expect to earn.
Voter participation among blacks increased by about 10 percent in 2008 — to about the average participation rate for white voters — and Obama won 95 percent of the black vote. It is reasonable to conclude that the extra 10 percent all turned out for Obama, and that those people may be voting with racial identification in mind. But it's hard to argue that "they're all just voting for him because he's black." He's a Democrat. That's all it takes.

Meh. I'm wasting my vote on Gary Johnson, rather than vote for Obama or Obama v1.5 (that's Romney for those of you from Waycross).

Waiting for the endSeptember 4th, 2008 – 3:15 PM by James Lileks
l">Light cool day; everything in the hall feels a bit anticlimactic after last night. I'm sitting in Rice Park with MSNBC blaring in the background. No protests at the moment; there was one sad 9/11 truther walking around with a pole. No sign, just a pole. The Mossad took it! A couple has set up an unintelligible hand-made sign that demands a NEW MONETARY ORDER; they're either protesting the Federal Reserve, or Western Union. Two bands are playing pretty good rock to audiences composed entirely of granite-faced cops. There's really nothing to film and nothing to cover; it's all just a matter of waiting for McCain.
The quote going around the newsrooms: when this thing is over, there will be a crash heard for a ninety-mile radius. I think you'll all be understanding if newspapers just take a week off, won't you? People who've been on this thing for a fortnight are staggering around like hollow-skulled zombies. What must surely task the souls of pundits at the moment is the knowledge that nothing anyone writes or predicts before tonight's speech will matter a second after McCain begins to talk. I mean, I have to go on the air in four hours, and I feel like singing "99 bottles of beer on the wall" until they cut my mike.
One sign it's been a long week: by day four, you should set off the metal detectors with your lanyard flair. Many news organizations and exhibiters give away small pins to hang on your neck-rope, and we collect them just because they're free; I have a UPS tape measure for the same reason. (Actually, I have two, because whenever someone hands out something you get one for "your friend." Because there might be a pin-for-tape-measurer market that develops at any moment.) By Thursday you should have enough pins on your credentials lanyard to earn you the wanding of your life by the security guards.
Off to film some bands, then do some radio; downstairs on Radio Row you can hear the sound of the barrel-bottom being scraped, and that's my cue.

Ask anyone with cultural cred and they'll tell you: The arts have never been hotter in South Florida.
A new building from famed architect Frank Gehry opened to acclaim for the New World Symphony late last year; an art museum from the renowned Herzog & de Meuron firm is rising from the ground near Biscayne Bay.
Art Basel Miami Beach is entering its 10th year of making Miami the place to be in early December, and Miami City Ballet took Paris by storm this summer.
"Without any hesitation, I can say that Miami is one of the — if not the — most exciting arts communities in development today," said Brett Egan, director of the DeVos Institute of Arts Management at the Kennedy Center, which is working with dozens of Miami-Dade arts organizations in a two-year program.
Deborah Sherman knows those trenches well. Producing artistic director of The Promethean Theatre, a tiny company that performs in Davie, Sherman works without a paycheck and is trying to raise enough money to put on the group's next performance in January. The company, which gets no government support, has seen donations dwindle, patrons seek cheaper tickets and foundations reduce their grant awards.
"Let's be realistic," Sherman said. "Financially we shouldn't even be alive. And we are."
Few nonprofit arts organizations have died in recent years. But groups throughout South Florida — often behind the scenes — are cutting expenses, choosing less costly work, adjusting programs, reducing paychecks, changing marketing strategies and asking donors for more money to stretch already lean budgets and survive through the continued economic downturn.
Choral ensemble Seraphic Fire has lowered the price of its subscriptions and seen an increase in purchases. Performances are being held in intimate neighborhood spaces where parking is almost always free rather than in large halls.
Founder and artistic director Patrick Dupré Quigley said that while arts organizations used to operate on an antiquated patronage model, today they are being forced to embrace more modern business sensibilities.
"We're all required for survival to be on our game not just from an artistic standpoint, but from a business standpoint," he said. "It's sort of, become a real business or die."
Those business decisions often focus on ways to cut without sacrificing artistic quality.
Mary Luft, executive director of Tigertail Productions, said she's making cost-conscious decisions such as bringing in a three- or four-person group rather than 12 people, or eliminating a mass mailing if money isn't coming in to pay for it.
A letter campaign last month that sought donations for Tigertail, which commissions, presents and produces new multidisciplinary works,reminded Luft of 2008, when the economy was starting to tank and donors were holding on to their cash.
"It's not that they don't have money," Luft said. "It's more of a wait mode. And I think people are just sort of watching to see what's going to happen."
One area where donors have been generous is in major building efforts. Organizations such as Miami Art Museum, Miami Science Museum and New World Symphony are finding their work eased by the momentum of major capital campaigns.
"Dateline Miami, dateline Miami, dateline Miami — when you keep seeing that over and over everywhere you look, you begin to build critical mass in people's minds," said Dennis Scholl, vice president/arts for the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, which supports about 70 organizations a year in South Florida through a variety of programs.
Combined, Miami's art and science museums have already raised more than $100 million for their buildings and programming, and the Miami Science Museum is preparing to make a new donation announcement soon.
"MAM coming out of the ground really helps everyone in terms of Museum Park," said science museum President and CEO Gillian Thomas.
Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami is getting ready to start its own campaign to fund a nearly $13.5 million expansion.

Nokia was the first company to release a Windows Phone device with a Full HD screen resolution when it debuted the Lumia 1520 in October last year. Since then it hasn't seen any challengers, but that could change if rumours regarding a future Samsung phone come true.
A Bluetooth certification listing has given us a hint of the new Samsung device, and the brief feature list shows that all important 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. The screen size is uncertain, as it's marked down as "-5," which could mean it'll measure 5-inches. That would make it more compact than the massive 6-inch Lumia 1520, and perhaps more desirable as a result.
The model number attached is SM-W750V. This also appeared at the end of last year on a shipping document, after the phone was sent to India for "R & D purposes." Again, it listed the screen size as 5-inches. In the past, Samsung has sold its Windows Phone hardware under the Ativ brand name. However, it hasn't bothered selling one in the UK since the Ativ S way back in 2012.
If the W750V does have a 1080p screen resolution, then the phone must be running the latest version of Windows Phone, and therefore will also support a quad-core processor.
Microsoft is keen for manufacturers to challenge Nokia, as more hardware on sale means more interest from consumers, and more interest from developers. Mobile World Congress is a little over a month away, and the Barcelona event would be the ideal spot for Samsung to launch a new Windows Phone device.
