Agent-based asynchronous HTTP client.
This is a HTTP client library based on Java's HttpURLConnection
class and Clojure's Agent system. It allows you to make multiple
HTTP requests in parallel.
Start an HTTP request with the 'http-agent' function, which
immediately returns a Clojure Agent. You will never deref this
agent; that is handled by the accessor functions. The agent will
execute the HTTP request on a separate thread.
If you pass a :handler function to http-agent, that function will be
called as soon as the HTTP response body is ready. The handler
function is called with one argument, the HTTP agent itself. The
handler can read the response body by calling the 'stream' function
on the agent.
The value returned by the handler function becomes part of the state
of the agent, and you can retrieve it with the 'result' function.
If you call 'result' before the HTTP request has finished, it will
block until the handler function returns.
If you don't provide a handler function, the default handler will
buffer the entire response body in memory, which you can retrieve
with the 'bytes', 'string', or 'stream' functions. Like 'result',
these functions will block until the HTTP request is completed.
If you want to check if an HTTP request is finished without
blocking, use the 'done?' function.
A single GET request could be as simple as:
(string (http-agent "http://www.stuartsierra.com/"))
A simple POST might look like:
(http-agent "http..." :method "POST" :body "foo=1")
And you could write the response directly to a file like this:
(require '[clojure.contrib.io :as d])
(http-agent "http..."
:handler (fn [agnt]
(with-open [w (d/writer "/tmp/out")]
(d/copy (stream agnt) w))))

Have you seen the "news" lately? If so, then you have been inundated with images of people needing our help. Lately, we have witnessed a conflagration of serious ethical conundrums. We are constantly seeing local officials flailing during important press conferences, national politicians trying to explain why they continue failing to serve the best interests of the American people, a cantankerous NBA sports team owner who continues to dig his family further into an inescapable abyss of wretched behavior, and we also see how preventable violence in our beloved Nutmeg state continues to weigh down the strong moral fabric which once existed in our neighborhoods. All of this is enough to make us ask two questions.
Where are the role models?
Why don't we have ethics in our culture anymore?
Well, thankfully, these two difficult questions have very easy answers! In fact, just this past month we saw firsthand how our College's role models successfully matriculated through the vibrant leadership program. During our most recent round of Capstone presentations, six graduate students put on full display how they are changing our communities for the better.
Jerica Ortiz and Keshia Tigner presented an exciting program titled Stir Up the Gifts Arts Academy. The academy empowers volunteers to serve as teachers who will train our adolescents to find their voices through meaningful arts and civic curriculums.
Rey Ali, Mike Donegan and Kevin Glenn developed a ready-to-use curriculum for newly-hired and seasoned employees who are interested in developing a sound culture within the workplace. Their Leadership Through Emersion course gives companies the ability to build upon the foundation of their leadership corps from the ground up, instead of from the top down. This new pedagogical method ensures that employees recognize that they are true leaders, no matter the current rank they may hold within an organization's hierarchy.
Fr. Santhosh Syriac gave us all a glimpse into what he is developing for his community in India. Through the spirit of "Anugraha" [grace] he is changing the culture of his homeland one convalescent home at a time. Fr. Syriac and his peers recognize that the old ways of taking care of India's expanding elderly population need real progressive change. By challenging current methodologies and cultivating healthcare officials, he has brought out the best core values that are taught at Albertus Magnus College.
These six impressive scholars took the theories they learned from their Master of Arts in Leadership courses and put those lessons into praxis. Their willingness to take part in the Capstone exercise afforded them the ability to affect positive social change in our universe, while simultaneously becoming the ethical leaders we all hope to see portrayed in nightly news stories. Our community is in a much better place, because these students unselfishly "shared the fruits of their contemplation's" with our world.
The great Mahatma Gandhi said quite simply "Be the change you want to see in the world!" It is in that spirit that I salute these six students who made sacrifices so that we could witness true servant leadership in the making. We are all better people due to the work these scholars have put forward for the benefit of others. It is indeed my honor to know them and to call them tremendous colleagues!

Ramsar Address to the Governing Council of UNEP, February 2003
Malheureusement, il n'y a pas de version française de ce document.
Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum
22nd Session
Nairobi, Kenya, 3-7 February 2003
Statement by Delmar Blasco, Secretary General of the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971), 4 February 2003
Mr. President,
Thank you for allowing me to address the Governing Council on behalf of the secretariat of the Convention on Wetlands, the Ramsar Convention.
Let me touch upon a few issues on your agenda which are of particular interest to the Convention on Wetlands, and on which our cooperation with UNEP could be strengthened. We had the honour of having you, Mr. President, in attendance at our Conference of the Parties last November in Spain, where you kindly offered to host our next COP in Uganda in 2005. I am sure that you would agree with me that there are a good number of issues on which UNEP and Ramsar should be working more closely together. The fact that Ramsar is not a UN- or UNEP-administered convention has made our connection less intense, but in my view it should not be a question of who administers a convention, but rather a question of what we have in common when it comes to providing support and services to the Contracting Parties.
In the area of water, for example, our COP has adopted Guidelines for the allocation of water for maintaining the ecological functions of wetlands. These guidelines have now the status of soft law adopted through an intergovernmental process and could be applied, mutatis mutandis, to all aquatic ecosystems. They are at UNEP's disposal, and they could help in bringing UNEP to pay more attention to the question of the health and integrity of aquatic ecosystems, which in my view is not sufficiently present in the water strategy of a Programme whose prime concern should be to safeguard that integrity.
In this sense I was pleased to hear a number of countries calling upon UNEP to make a more active application of the ecosystem approach in its water-related work. The ecosystem approach was reaffirmed in the Plan of Implementation of WSSD, though I accept that some countries are still having problems with the definition and the application of the concept.
Our COP has also adopted guidelines on how to incorporate wetland issues in integrated coastal zone management, which could also be useful to UNEP in its quest to establish a better link between integrated river basin management and coastal zone management, a quest that we fully share.
The Ramsar COP also adopted guidelines for the identification and designation of coral reefs and mangroves as Wetlands of International Importance. I very much hope that the Governing Council, in its proposed decision on coral reefs, could call upon Ramsar Contracting Parties to apply those guidelines as much as possible, since Ramsar designation would be a means to contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of coral reefs.
We are presently working very closely with UNEP in the wetlands strategy within NEPAD and we are extremely pleased with the way this cooperation is evolving.
In the area of cultural diversity, at our last COP we had the same arguments of the pros and cons of taking up this issue in another forum outside UNESCO and WIPO, but finally the Ramsar COP adopted a resolution on Guiding principles for taking into account the cultural values of wetlands in the effective management of sites. If the proposed decision on cultural diversity is adopted by the Governing Council, we will be very pleased to work with UNEP and UNESCO in a joint effort to implement the decisions of our respective governing bodies in this area.
We are also fully associated with UNEP in the context of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, and we would very much like to expand our association in other endeavors related to monitoring and assessment.
Finally, let me touch upon one more issue: synergies among conventions. Ramsar is proud of having been a sort of a pioneer in this area, by having taken a proactive approach in trying to work as closely as possible with the other conventions. We have made considerable progress, in particular with CBD, through the Joint Work Plans that have been adopted by our respective COPs. Our last COP has recognized the efforts made by UNEP in promoting synergies, but we consider that these efforts have been too timid. We very much hope that the Governing Council will agree to provide the necessary resources to UNEP to increase its work in this area, and in turn we hope that UNEP will be able to undertake a highly professional job in order to do so. Because promoting true synergies among conventions is a real need, but it requires serious dedication and high professional competence. Otherwise, we, the conventions, will continue to operate with very little coordination among us, and thus fail to bring to the Parties the concerted support that we could provide if our acts were put together in a more effective manner.
Mr. President, I wish you every success in conducting the business of this important meeting.
Thank you.

It doesn't really matter whether the substance of what Joe Biden said last Sunday about gay marriage was so very different from what his boss, Barack Obama, had said about the subject in the past (and there's good evidence that it was not). What matters is the way that Biden said he was "absolutely comfortable" with same-sex marriage, which made what Obama had said before—that his own views were "evolving"—look too cute by half.

The Houston Texans have released Danieal Manning, according to Adam Schefter.
Texans release S Danieal Manning, per source.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 31, 2014
Manning missed most of last season with a hyperextended knee. In the six games he did play, he had a 60.4 QB rating against and an 8.0 tackling efficiency. In 2012 Manning had a 12.0 tackling efficiency (10.0 against the pass) and a -2.2 PFF grade against the pass.
Kansas City could use some depth at safety after losing Kendrick Lewis and Quintin Demps to free agency. Husain Abdullah and Sanders Commings appear to be the two players battling for the free safety spot so adding Manning into the mix should improve the competition.
The Chiefs like to put multiple safeties on the field on passing downs, and will occasionally move Eric Berry to an inside linebacker spot in order to improve their coverage and pass rush in their base 3-4 defense. This makes safety depth even more crucial. Manning has experience playing both free safety and strong safety so he is a versatile player who could handle being moved around.
It should be noted Manning is from the Dallas area and is a big Cowboys fan so the Chiefs could have competition there should they decide to pursue Manning.

I agree. I keep my warlock in org and have my DK mail anything that needs to go on the Auction House to him (that way I don't have to worry about my hearth stone). I leveled up my tailoring so he could make some Frostweave bags and my Warlock has also been providing all the enchants for my DK, too (thanks to vellum).

I'm generally against stupid tattoos that you will regret when you hit 40, but on some certain level I can see WoW tattoos. WoW has been out for over 4 years, as long as most peoples college experience (ignoring those who move on for their Masters/PhD). Some people get tattoos to memorialize life-experiences, I have one memorializing college and all the experiences from that time.
Some people are REALLY into the game, and feel the same, so there is no problem really there.
WoW has been strangely influential to lots of people. People made friends through it, met their future SOs, wasted huge amounts of time in the fictional universe.
Really it is no dumber than the moron I once met with a Nike logo on her arm, or the legions of people with band names tattooed on them. Actually, it is probably more sensible.
I personally wouldn't mind getting a small horde tattoo (or the troll faction crest) someplace discreet. Its pretty low on my list of priorities though.

Programming Exercise - I Reverse content in a file.
Hello Folks, I want to post one Interview question I was asked by a big company recently. Here is the question.
Q) Create a file into which huge data is written. Assume data is already there and need not write now. This file is put in the search engine. For now no negative cases like different language or file is empty etc. File is contended with huge data and assume it is very big. Our job is to read the string in file and print in reverse order based on white spaces. Ignore any dots or special characters.
For ex : "My name is Ravi and I am 24 years old" should output "old years 24 am I and Ravi is name My old "
I proposed 3 solutions.
1. Since it is a large file, I split this into chunks using file splitter lets say 20 10MB files. I create 10 threads and do my operations in parallel and print them.
2. A straightforward approach which I copied below. Read the file, take in a string and reverse the string and print it.
3. Use file.seek(offset) which comes from RandomAccess library. Advantage here is we could avoid steps like reading the data in a string and reversing. We directly access it in file and print/write in console or another file respectively.
To make it simple I tried with 5MB of data, I follows steps 2 and 3 to solve. With Method 2 I could complete it in 14178ms which is invariably bad. Method 3 fetched the same result in 6375ms which I think is still bad but better than former solution.
package com.myCode.topCoder;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class RevLargeString {
public static void main(String args[])
File f = new File("BigString"); // We can read file instead directly in scanner
//StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
try {
String rwords ="";
String printReverse ="";
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(f);
rwords = scanner.nextLine();
String[] reverseWords = rwords.split(" ");
for(int i= reverseWords.length - 1; i>=0; i—)
printReverse += reverseWords[i]+" ";
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
long totalTime = endTime - startTime;
Method 2 Output :
My name is Ravi and I am 24 years old My name is….
old years 24 am I and Ravi is name My old …….
Method 3 Output :
My name is Ravi and I am 24 years old My name is….
old years 24 am I and Ravi is name My old …….
I haven't created classes for 1 and 3. But I can give some idea of how could we do it in method 3.
Method 3 :
// Create a randomaccess file instance like RandomAccessFile r = new RandomAccessFile("BigString", "rw");
// Now start reading backwards in file. Loop(f.length() to 0)
// Get file pointer. r.getfilepointer();
// Use f.seek(offset) — Here for offset we would give a position where we see a space while looping back.
// Print from charAt(i) to before occurrence of space.
Please give suggestions or any other way we can do it in better time.

A team of researchers at the University of New South Wales in Australia have set a new record for solar cell efficiency. A new multi-cell combination can convert 43 percent of sunlight to electricity, beating the previous record of http://cngnewengland.com/viagra-available-in-india 42.7 percent. While it's not a huge leap ahead, it does get us closer to that pivotal 50 percent mark.
The team increased the efficiency by combining the silicon cell with others made from gallium, indium, phosphorus and http://www.transitofvenus.org/cheapest-prices-for-cialis arsenic. This combination allowed the capture of light at the red and near-infrared end of the viagra online 50mgs spectrum, boosting the electricity output.
Don't expect to see this combination in use anytime soon though. The semiconductors used are very expensive, but at least researchers are forging ahead and maybe a new record will be hit any day now using cheaper materials.

what's the big difference from those?
written by Bob Wallace, August 26, 2009
Important for large installations where real estate costs come into play. Not so important for a home solar system where most roofs are much larger than the array needed to generic cialis run a home.
This sort of performance is also important for space installation where the cost of putting stuff in orbit is very high.
On Earth we're most likely to see these high performance cells used with concentrating lenses or mirrors where "several suns" of light can be focused on the panel.
written by Bob Wallace, August 26, 2009
Some months back a lot more processing came on line, in fact more than was needed, and panel prices have dropped from around $5 retail to $3. That's a 40% price drop.
When I bought my first panels in the early 1990s the going retail price was about $12 (2009 dollars). A drop from $12 to $3 is enormous.
Look for prices to continue to drop. A Chinese manufacturer has figured out how to decrease costs an additional $0.70 per watt.
The magic manufacturing cost of $1 per watt for thin film has been passed by First Solar at their Malaysia plant and their US plant is levitra generic getting close to levitra on line $1.

The exciting, little-known story of the small group of British and American scientists who, during the years of 1941 to 1943 (and almost without military experience entirely), revolutionized the way wars are waged and won.
Here presents the civilian intellectualsthe kind that many military men viewed with contempt and helped change the nature of 20th century warfare. Foremost among them was Patrick Blackett: British physicist, ex-naval officer, future Nobel prize winner, ardent socialist who did more to win the war against Nazi Germany than almost anyone else in history.

JUPITER, Fla. -- Pitcher Jake Westbrook has left the St. Louis Cardinals' game against the Miami Marlins with a bruised left knee and outfielder Carlos Beltran has departed with a bruised right toe.
Westbrook was hit on the leg by a grounder hit by Casey Kotchman leading off the second inning Thursday. The right-hander consulted with a trainer and flexed his left leg before walking to the dugout.
Beltran was hit by a pitch in the first and left the game after the inning. X-rays were negative.
Westbrook was making his first start of spring training. He went 13-11 last year but didn't pitch after Sept. 8 because of a strained right oblique.
He gave up one run in the first inning on an RBI triple by Giancarlo Stanton.

Indoor / Outdoor Speaker Pair (black)
Rugged weatherproof speaker pair is designed to meet the needs of virtually any indoor or outdoor situation, in both residential whole-house systems and distributed commercial sound environments. Small size, low wattage transformer taps, and low cost is especially helpful in environments requiring a large number of speakers.
Click Here to see the entire series.
They are the ideal choice for:
High excursion woofers mounted in tuned ABS cabinets, coupled with a 1" soft dome tweeter, provide wide frequency response with tremendous detail. Rear mounted rotary switch selects multiple taps on the internal 70V transformer, or 8ohm bypass position, allowing the speaker to see the full frequency range.
I have another set of the larger 8" versions as well. They are very nice quality and simple to install. Be careful with the "outdoor" rating. They cannot be exposed to direct elements. I have these mounted under the Soffit for some protection. Would recommend them for sure. Used in a 8 ohm distributed whole house audio application.

From ivory tower to prison cell: How can we bring conservation efforts to the public?
Conservation and other environmental movements have long been viewed as the initiatives of a select group of people. Rare, an international conservation group, seeks to change conservation policy by turning it into a movement that derives support from the public. As there website states, "conservationists must become as skilled in social change as in science; as committed to community-based solutions as national and international policy making."
How can this be accomplished? The Sustainable Prisons Project in Washington State offers a novel approach to Rare's mission. This project, a partnership between The Evergreen State College and Washington State Department of Corrections, allows inmates across Washington to participate in environmental education, sustainable practices, and science research projects. Learn more about this program at http://blogs.evergreen.edu/sustainableprisons/stories/prisons-with-nature/.
Creative conservation initiatives like the Sustainable Prisons Project help both the conservation movement and the participants of the program. How can we expand this project to other parts of the global community in order to fully bring conservation to the forefront of political and social discussions?

Jun 5 2012: The key to success in conversation science awareness (or whatever you want to call it) is to start implementing it into peoples lives at a young age. If they grow up with it the chance are it will be more successful since it will be the only way they know about. Where if you try to teach someone who is older lets say in their 60's they already know so many other ways for things to work in these situations it will be hard to teach them otherwise.
Jun 6 2012: As far as educating older individuals of the public, I feel that we should be bringing more environmental organizations and environmental scientists into public forums. If we can get the scientific community and the general population in closer contact, and on a more regular basis, I think we can foster both learning and curiosity among citizens. Additionally, these public forums, be them public lectures or something else, could draw in multiple age groups and help us to span the age-gap that often forms in regard to the most current events.
Jun 6 2012: I completely agree that getting to children is one of the most important facets of change. It is a travesty in my opinion at how little is being taught in school. At the college level in a very progressive school, I hear about conservation, sustainability, etc. nearly every day in class but a lot of people rarely hear or think about it. If we educate the masses now, it should reap huge rewards in the future.

State law enforcement agencies are getting together to talk about how fast is too fast when responding to a 9-1-1 call. The task force comes after a Collier County corporal collided with a 21-year-old man last year while responding to call. That young man died from his injuries.
Andrew Rakes became the second who died after a collision with Todd while he was responding to a call on March 31, 2011.
Now Rakes' stepdad, Tom Bell, says he wants law enforcement to slow down so no one else has to die the same way.
On the way home from a workout, Rakes crossed paths with Corporal Jesse Todd on Santa Barbara Boulevard.
That collision cost him his life.
Rakes made a left turn as Jesse Todd came down Santa Barbara at 101 MPH in a 45 MPH zone on his way to a robbery pursuit in North Naples.
The State Attorney's Office found Todd's triple digit speeds were not enough to file criminal charges.The Collier County Sheriffs Office says there's no speed limit for deputies responding to calls, but they must use due regard - meaning they must keep people safe in their path.
"We did find in our investigation Todd was driving without due care," said FHP trooper Greg Bueno.
The Florida Highway Patrol ticketed Todd for failing to use due regard. But on Thursday, a Collier County judge threw it out.
"He got completely out of it, completely," Bell said.
Bell says he hopes no one else dies this way and plans to ask local lawmakers to create more defined rules for law enforcement speeding
"He always said he would help people. I said, 'Become a doctor.' He said, 'No, I'm going to help people.' Maybe this will be how he does it," Bell said.
For the time being, Todd is on paid leave as the Collier County Sheriff's Office uses an internal investigation to determine what happened.

Georgia Tech athletic director Dan Radakovich denied a report that Tennessee was interested in making him their next athletic director.
Volquest.com, a website devoted to Tennessee athletics, reported on Friday that the Volunteers were interested in hiring Radakovich as their athletic director until the NCAA report came out on Thursday in which the Yellow Jackets were stripped of their 2009 ACC championship in football, put on four years of probation and fined $100,000. In the report, the NCAA said that Tech tried to manipulate player interviews with investigators and that Radakovich had improper conversations with football coach Paul Johnson regarding an on-going investigation.
Radakovich's name has been linked in the past to many openings, including the a.d. job at Miami.
"I don't know where this comes from," Radakovich said. "I've never spoken to Tennessee. I've got enough on my plate here. I wish them well with whatever they are looking to do."
To eliminate any nuance, Radakovich said that neither he, nor anyone representing him, has spoken to Tennessee, or anyone representing the Vols, about any position in Knoxville.
Radakovich said on Thursday that he is entrenched in Atlanta and hopes to work at the Institute for as long as President G.P. Peterson will allow.

Weapons, drugs, academic fraud…now this. It appears the techies need a warden rather than an AD at that pen.
July 15th, 2011

He is entrenched now because he is tainted by the stain of being the cause of his school being on probation. No other school would hire him now. His days at Tech are numbered…..he intentionally disregarded the NCAA's instructions about communicating about the investigation…….

yeah that is too bad about Demaryius Thomas and the $300 gift of clothes. Too bad the Pastor Uncle that became his guardian a few years ago didn't shop around and receive 6 figures for the first round draft choice to play at the school that came up with the cash. Also too bad, Demaryius didn't just steal the clothes and if the police came to the door asking about it, all he had to do is just throw the clothes out the window, Then all would be hunky dory today. NCAA wouldn't have a problem with either.
July 15th, 2011
7:56 pm
I don't see how these sanctions are going to stand. Reading the NCAA report and talking to people within the athletic department, it just seems like the NCAA is more pissed that they really didn't find anything and that Tech essentially told them to f off.
The only thing the NCAA has is that D. Thomas did received $312 in clothing that was never worn and still have the tags. They have no definitive evidence on who gave D. Thomas the clothing and have absolutely nothing on M. Burnett. They also have no proof that the players were coached on how to conduct their interviews other than the fact that D. Radakovich told Coach Johnson about the investigation.
If the Jackets value their integrity at all, they would find a way to appeal this with a third party in order to prevent the NCAA from abusing its power.
July 15th, 2011
8:31 pm
He was also alleged to be in the middle of the baseball player DUI coverup this past season. Looks like he is consistent. A real first class guy. He obviously doesn't get that Tech is about doing things RIGHT. He is clearly more about winning at all cost then hoping no one knows the real story than winning right. Imagine over substance.

The NCAA has lost their mind. GT really needs to fight back and not take this one like a wet-noodle.

Well, he did come from LSU. Big Easy, all that. To be fair though, LSU's one of only two SEC programs to have no NCAA infractions since the conference expanded to 12 schools. At least, I read that somewhere.

I think both Peterson & D-Rad are probably entrenched for a while, but if they don't appeal they should be fired. I know we don't have a lot of $, but I would spare no expense in hiring the top lawyer to appeal. I have a serious problem for the NCAA nailing us for not sitting them, when I believe the week of the UGA game last yr, the NCAA recommended that AU sit Scam, but AU told them to F off. Their punishment is a MNC.
July 16th, 2011
1:36 am
DRad is our AD, and a heck of an AD too if you ask my opinion. He made a mistake here, and he admitted it. However, the bigger mistake was made by the NCAA when they made their punishment for tech so darn heavy.
Anyway, bottom line: It'd be a shame if Radakovich left. I don't care what has happened, because he is one heck of an AD and the right guy for the job.

I feel bad for Tech fans today. You were made an example of by the NCAA and got popped for lying about what was a pretty silly recruiting infraction for a program that struggles to even make an effective recruiting class. Now, you face the realization that you're stuck with an AD that doesn't want you, but can't get another job. Sad.

Puppydawg I would be real careful throwing those rocks if I were you.
I am still waiting for the NCAA to wake up on the APS cheating deal. Seems to me that every college including Tech that has athletes on their roster from APS have altered grades, a NCAA violation. How many of those athletes could qualify without their grades being altered? While you are worrying about a, one time event,300 dollar gift, never taken by the receiver, you may have 200 or more ineligible players all over the country playing college football.
July 16th, 2011

Maybe Rad should quit the AD at Tech and run the NCAA, we would all be better off. He is our man and we support him. His body of work at Tech has been historic.
July 16th, 2011
9:55 am
No one person is responsible for the troubles and no one person can oversee the entire program. The program and the AD are only as good as the support staff allows it to be. Somebody needs to step in and step up and make sure we are in compliance.
July 16th, 2011
10:19 am
Pleased with his decisions at Tech? Outside of hiring Paul Johnson, what has he done other than get us on 4 years probation and raise ticket prices?? And don't congratulate him for firing Paul Hewitt as that was done 2 years too late after our basketball team had become a national non-factor like it is today.
Why would Tennessee want to talk to him? Fresh off the NCAA scandal? Don't think they of all people could afford that…
July 16th, 2011
10:20 am
Sorry, guys, but based on my read of the NCAA sanctions it would appear that D Rad IS THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE. Mistake 1 was telling CPJ and the gigantic mistake 2 was not telling him that he couldn't talk to the players in question. Sounds to me like this one is squarely on D Rad.
July 16th, 2011
10:21 am
The Vols would be a good fit, though, since they don't seem to care what the NCAA thinks.
July 16th, 2011
10:39 am
GT, if/when we're affected by the APS scandal, we'll deal with it as necessary. Until then, you and those of your ilk should be prepared for more rocks coming your way. This is just beginning and will likely get worse before it gets better. You guys jump at every opportunity to bash UGA and now, you have the nerve to tell me that I should not reciprocate. You take hypocrisy to a whole new level.

11:01 am
Man, you guys were all over this Ga. Tech story. When did you learn about it, after the sanctions were announced?
July 16th, 2011
11:03 am
CPJ has won no ACC Championship and his bowl record is horrific. He has lost to UGA two times in an era in which UGA is historically awful ..09, 2010. He recruits no big name kids and his wishbone O is a thing of the past. Athletic teams like LSU or Iowa or UGA, Miami or VaTech, FSU or others can defeat is 8 out of 10 times. Yes, lately, FSU has also been bad for their historical standards.
These facts are far more important than what DRad has or has not done.
This same time next year ……………….GT will be saying" we had better win 5 or 6 or CPJ will be gone."
Enjoy you probation again. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
July 16th, 2011
11:21 am
The biggest lesson to be learned from this is that it absolutely sucks to be a Georgia Tech fan. They play ineligible players and STILL can't beat Georgia. They can't win a bowl game. They win one crummy little All Crap Conference title and even that gets taken away from them. I say its time for Tech to cut its losses and shut down the football program.
July 16th, 2011
11:32 am
Meanwhile, tech is "entrenched" in lies, cheating, and decades of losing in football. Say it ain't so, nerds!

11:41 am
I for one am very disappointed in Dan Radakovich . Sure , I like him better then our last AD who settled for just being " mediocre " and told us that we should be happy winning 7 games on any given year . But Dan Radakovich certainly bungled this investigation and I hold him responsible for the penalties that the NCAA handed down to the football
program . Which part of " Don't tell anybody about this " did he not understand ?
What he did was make a bad decision and it makes me wonder if the timing [ UGA game, ACC Championship game & Orange Bowl ] had any weight in that decision making process . Anyway it was just plain stupid for something this small to get all blowed up out of proportion like it did .
Should Dan Radakovich be allowed to remain at the helm of GT Athletic's ?
For me it would mean that the $100,000 penalty would come out of his pocket and also
freezing his wages for the duration of the probation period . And I am being compassionate here . Likewise , I made a stupid decision one time in my job and it cost me my job . My mistake did not bring embarrassment to the company I worked for or cost them in any financial manner . But I did learn my lesson .
I as a GT fan and all Alum's should be embarrassed about this revelation that our program is not conducting business above reproach .

I agree . This story came out of nowhere .
July 16th, 2011
12:04 pm
@MJC you are trying to apply logic – something the NCAA doesn't exercise. The pattern is well established. The NCAA plays favorites based on the money the program brings in.
Proof is in the pudding. AJ Green breaks a pretty meaningless rule. UGA self reports and suspends AJ until the NCAA can clear him. The NCAA smacks AJ with a four game suspension. OSU admits 5 starters broke numerous rules (some major) and rules they can serve their punishment when it is convenient for OSU. Follow the money…………………..
The NCAA is corrupt and sucks – no way around it.
July 16th, 2011
12:24 pm
Please with his body of work??? Are you Fin kidding me? I am COMPLETELY embarrassed by what this idiot let happen on his watch. I have great pride in my school. I sacrificed alot in my life getting a degree from Georgia Tech & always prided the school has haveing the highest integrity. Now this. He hires an arrogant coach with an ancient system that NO worthy recruit wants to play in. Fails to can Blewitt until he totally wrecked the BB program. Wow, I'm impressed.
July 16th, 2011
12:54 pm
This really shouldn't come as that big of a surpise. I mean, Radakovich did come from an SEC school (LSU) prior to GT. So he was learned in the art of deception and hiding. It's a prerequisite for being an SEC AD/Asst. AD (except for Vandy). Really, what SEC school hasn'tdone this as well recently, minus Vandy??
July 16th, 2011
1:03 pm
Now, now …………look at CPJ's record
July 16th, 2011
11:03 am
….. Athletic teams like LSU or Iowa or UGA, Miami or VaTech, FSU or others can defeat is 8 out of 10 times….
CPJ's records against these teams
LSU 0-1 Iowa 0-1 UGA 1-2 Miami 2-1 VT 1-2 FSU 2-0
Overall 6-7
I guess Clemson aren't an athletic team, even though they are loaded with NFL prospects every year – CPJ is 3-1 versus them
July 16th, 2011
1:12 pm
If DRad leaves, maybe we can hire the red panty waving, breathalyzer failing, cop bribing former AD at UGA.
July 16th, 2011
1:38 pm
jeff, nobody says CPJ knew anything-chan's guys are the target, the type of guys some folks say we need more of, 1st rounders, though these kids become huge targets for the greedy.when the wagons are circled, you with the indians?
July 16th, 2011
2:03 pm
These are tough times to be a Jacket. If we could actually win some games instead of having to surrender titles, it might not be so tough. My friend in the AD says that there HAVE been contacts from another school to DR, and that we are putting out feelers of our own to make a change, if it is necessary.
July 16th, 2011
2:15 pm
Looking at the glass half full, this may actually be good in that it may keep DRAD at GT. I couldn't have blamed him for taking a job like UT, given the difference in budgets. But even with this, I still don't think there could be a better AD for GT than DRAD. Go Jackets!

The Virginia football team received good news Thursday, as defensive tackle Brent Urban is listed as probable for Saturday's game at Miami.
UVa's best defensive player has missed the last four games recovering from a high ankle sprain suffered during the Maryland game.
Cavaliers starting cornerback Maurice Canady is also listed as probable for Saturday's contest.
He's missed the last three games with an undisclosed medical condition.
Despite the likely return of two of Virginia's best defensive players, it probably won't change the betting line much.
The Wahoos are a 20-point underdog for Saturday's game at Miami, despite the fact UVa has beaten the Hurricanes in their last three meetings.
Last year Jake McGee caught the game winning touchdown with six seconds left, as Virginia stunned Miami 41-40 in Charlottesville.
Two years ago, Virginia was an underdog at Miami, but the Hoos won thanks in part to a halfback option pass from Perry Jones to Tim Smith for a touchdown.
McGee says, "We'll try to build on what we've done, but it's a new team for them and for us. I don't think there's any real advantage to having beaten someone the year before, but we'll try to do the best we can. It's always nice going to Miami in the middle of November."
The two head coaches know each other well, as Mike London and Miami's Al Golden both coached together for four season at UVa under Al Groh.
Golden was Virginia's defensive coordinator, and London was the defensive line coach.
Golden is now in his 3rd season as head coach at Miami, while London is in his 4th season at UVa.
London says, "I don't believe its because Al and I know each other that I have any special insight into the play calling or what they like to do. You know what they like to do, that's run the football and they do a very good job of doing that. As soon as you bring up that extra guy to stop the run, then they'll throw the ball behind you with those excellent receivers. Our challenge is to go on the road down there and play a game that will give us some success."

If green roofs were mandatory in cities would there be less development and building?
William McDonough knows the benefits that come from designing and implementing green roofs. McDonough has helped design living roofs for big companies such as Nike and Ford Motors. But many companies and homeowners overlook the benefits of green roofs. One benefit of green roofs is that they keep the internal temperature of a building steady throughout the year. The National Research Council of Canada found that having a green roof reduced the daily energy demand for air conditioning in the summer by 75%. Toronto is the first North American city to pass a law mandating green rooftops for all new residential, commercial and industrial developments. Any new construction with floor space of more than 2,000 square meters must devote between 20 and 60 percent of its roof to vegetation. But with green roofs comes an unwanted financial upfront cost. Will developers decide that the benefits outweigh the costs for installing green roofs?
If green roofs were mandatory in cities would there be less development and building?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 24 2012: Mandating green roofs seems like a great idea to spur environmentalism, as well as help people be greener in general. I don't think that developers would have a problem following a new mandate, but I do question what the individual would think. Would purchasing a space or home that has been built with a green roof increase the up front cost, and would individuals still want to shell out the money despite the promise of 75% reduced air conditioning energy demand? For people who don't use air conditioning or heating what is the incentive to purchase a home that has a green roof, especially if it's more expensive than a traditionally built house? If new mandates don't ensure that all newly built spaces require a green roof and therefore an increased purchasing cost I fear that people will tend towards traditionally built spaces and the new spaces would go unoccupied, unless the developer covered the cost of the green roof.
May 24 2012: Not only are green roofs great for reducting HVAC costs but they also have implications for global climate change. If new roofs were installed on new private homes, these places would have substantially less carbon emissions than houses without green roofs. The green roofs will be photosynthesizing constantly, making them extremely beneficial. If homeowners are only looking at the short term consequences of green roofs, they might not be as appealing but all the long term benefits are so great, it seems to me like they outweigh any bad things that could arise.
May 24 2012: I don't argue that green roofs would be beneficial with regards to global climate change, but I question how many people are willing to pay an extra up front cost for a space with a green roof. Many ways to help the environment are simply options in current society such as being vegetarian or using LED lights rather than incandescent. If the option isn't turned into a requirement I don't believe that everyone will choose something that benefits the environment, especially if there is a larger up front cost. To me the option of buying a home with a green roof is similar to the option of buying an electric car, just because it helps the environment doesn't mean that it will be the choice of every individual, particularly if it is initially more expensive.
May 28 2012: I agree, if the savings from heating and air conditioning take many years to match the upfront cost of the home, people will go with the standard home that is much cheaper. I think most people are becoming more aware about the human impact on the environment, but until the cost of green technology becomes affordable to everyone, we will stick with the cheaper option that causes greater environmental harm.
May 24 2012: You have to remember that people who would make green roofs wouldn't be just homeowners. You have to think of a renting scenario as well, apartment complex owners, hotel owners, etc. For someone who owns an apartment complex with a green roof, they could charge a bit extra for the green roof and make a bit more profit in the long run, and as a renter that would be justified because you save on heating/cooling costs. There is an incentive for both the building owner and the renter.
