Last night's dinner, and a keeper, was this delicious pan full of scallops of boneless, skinless chicken breast, lightly finished in a tomato-herb pan sauce that comes together in just about the time it takes to boil water for some pasta to serve it over. And though any pasta will do, I like the flavor and color compliment of red bell pepper spaghetti.
2 chicken breasts, cut diagonally into half inch slices
1 large shallot, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium sized fresh red tomatoes, diced
4 tblsp flour
2 tblsp chopped fresh rosemary
2 tblsp chopped fresh basil (or 2 tsp dry)
1.5 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup half and half or 1 big dollop of sour cream
Fresh ground black pepper
cayenne pepper
olive or vegetable oil
Sprinkle salt over chicken pieces, dredge in flour (reserve after use, you're going to thicken your sauce with it), then place in hot skillet with oil to lightly brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove chicken pieces to a plate. Now put your pasta water on to boil.
Back to the sauce, add a little more oil if necessary, then lightly sweat the shallots and garlic, adding the tomatoes and herbs after the shallots turn a little transluscent. Now add back and incorporate the remaining flour, and add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, stirring, then add the half and half or sour cream, cayenne and black pepper. Reduce to a simmer.
Cook the pasta. About three minutes before the pasta will be ready to drain, add the chicken pieces back to the sauce to heat through and finish cooking. Spoon chicken and sauce over pasta.

8:00 pmWashington Week [#5208H] * Gwen Ifill and the Washington Week team are traveling to Florida this week to cover the Republican National Convention. Republicans will be gathering in Tampa to officially nominate Mitt Romney as the party's candidate for president and to kick-off the final push to defeat President Barack Obama in November.
* The former Massachusetts governor had planned to spend this week campaigning on his vision for America and talking about how he would create jobs, bolster the economy and reduce the national debt. But Romney's message was drowned out by a fellow Republican running for the US Senate in Missouri. Rep. Todd Akin's controversial remarks about rape and abortion outraged liberals as well as many conservatives. Romney and members of the GOP leadership have called on Akin to step aside, but the 6-term House member remains defiant and has vowed to stay in the Senate race until the end. Will the issue of abortion be a factor in the fall and could it help or hurt the Romney-Ryan ticket?
* The presidential race remains a virtual tie with President Obama gaining a slight lead since Romney tapped Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan to be his running mate. Ryan enjoys tremendous support among the party base, but can he rally reluctant Republicans who question Romney's conservative credentials?
* Florida Senator Marco Rubio, a one-time vice presidential contender and a tea party favorite will introduce Mitt Romney before he accepts his nomination. Rubio is among a roster of the party's future stars scheduled to speak including New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.

9:00 pmNazi Hunters [#111Z] The Monster and the Butcher Klaus Barbie was head of the Gestapo in Lyon, France in WWII. His job was to crush French resistance and his barbarity earned him the nickname "Butcher of Lyon." Responsible for the deaths of more than 4000 French men and women, Barbie disappeared after the war. "Ivan the Terrible," aka Ivan Grozny, aka Ivan Marchenko, had been a spectacularly brutal Ukrainian guard at the Treblinka death camp. Husband and wife team Serge and Beate Klarsfeld went in search of Klaus Barbie and first found him in Peru. He then fled to Bolivia, but the Klarsfelds did not give up. In 1983, their relentless political pressure paid off and Barbie was jailed in Bolivia for debt. He was returned to Lyons, the site of his most notorious wartime crimes, and was charged with crimes against humanity. He was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. 4 years later, he died in prison from cancer. The pursuit of Ivan the Terrible called into question the single minded avenging of war crimes. In October 1983, the Israeli authorities heard that a man suspected of being Ivan the Terrible had been found living in Ohio as a retired auto worker. His name was John Demjanjuk. The US deported him and a sensational trial began. It seemed an open and shut case. But then the case unraveled. The evidence from the USSR turned out to have been faked - probably to embarrass the US by showing how it had been harboring war criminals. duration 51:04 STEREO TVPG
9:52 pmNazi Hunters [#112Z] Goering - The Star Exhibit As it was not possible to try Hitler for crimes against humanity at Nuremburg, the prosecutors turned to the next best thing - his deputy, Hermann Goering.

The Americans then took up the chase and, in a two week hunt, finally caught up with him. He was sentenced to be executed but, the day before the execution, managed to commit suicide using cyanide. duration 49:32 STEREO TVPG

The NGC chromatography system introduces a new level of modularity and usability for protein purification.
Use our interactive NGC configurator to design your ideal chromatography system.
NGC Chromatography Systems Brochure
NGC Chromatography Systems Module Selection Guide
The family of NGC medium-pressure chromatography systems can be personalized with the addition of specific modules pertinent to your application and throughput needs. The NGC chromatography system can have up to three high-precision pumps: two system or gradient pumps (pump A and pump B), and one sample pump. These pumps enable the formation of gradients and delivery of predefined volumes of buffers and samples at precise flow rates and pressures, ensuring the reproducible, automated, and scalable purification of proteins and biological samples. The F10 NGC system pumps are standard with all 10 ml NGC systems and produce automated proportioned solutions and flow rates. The NGC sample pump 100 module comes standard with the NGC Discover™ system and enables the injection of large sample volumes, or allows repetitive, accurate, and consistent multiple loadings from a single sample stock. The sample pump can also be added into any vacant slot in any NGC system as an add-on. All pumps can be controlled to avoid overpressure and the sample pump module also includes an integrated pressure sensor that protects the column and media from overpressure. The NGC mixer module comes standard with all preconfigured NGC systems and can be fitted with different size barrels to provide optimally homogenized buffer gradients created by the two system pumps. Barrel extenders provide efficient gradient mixing at higher flow rates.
Other modules may be added to your NGC medium-pressure chromatography system to increase functionality and automation. For instance, plug in the buffer blending valve module for automated inline buffer preparation and generation of pH gradients for quick pH scouting. Or add the column switching valve module to connect up to five columns and enable quick and easy column scouting and cleaning, either under normal conditions or reverse flow, without the need to re-plumb the system.

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) -- The State Supreme Court will hear the appeal of a Stevens Point man convicted in the conspiracy to murder his lover's husband in 2008.
Carlos Cummings argues that statements he made to police should not have been allowed at his trial because he asked to be taken back to a holding cell, while police continued to question him.
Cummings' lawyers said that violated his right to remain silent under Miranda v. Arizona. Both the circuit court and the appeals court disagreed and stated that the request was ambiguous and that Cummings continued to answer police questions voluntarily under interrogation after he made his request.
Cummings also argued that his sentence in the case was twice the length of the woman he employed to carry out the shooting. The shooter, Linda Dietze, shot James Glodowski -- but he survived the incident. Cummings was sentenced to 14-years in prison. Dietze is serving a 7-year sentence. The Appeals Court did not find that a compelling reason to reduce his sentence.
Oral arguments in the case have been tentatively set for March.

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — This remote city in northernmost Maine is connected to Boston by three commercial flights a day, courtesy of an airline started in 1955 by an Alaskan fur trapper who wanted to cover more ground than his sled dog team could handle.
That fur trapper's company, which became Anchorage-based PenAir, is building a mini-hub at Logan International Airport to serve the Northeast. The newest spoke, launching Thursday, will send nonstop flights to Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip, N.Y., which serves a market of 2 million people.

If you use "LOL" in a non-ironic fashion, I can't date you.
It's staggering how many men over 30 pepper their online dating profiles, emails and texts with "LOL" or "LMAO," etc. Not only are they using outdated text message lingo designed for teenagers, they aren't even using it properly!
Note the following examples from Match.com profiles/messages:
"I hope you enjoy romance, wit, and drinking good beer lol."
"How's your weekend been? Mine's been lazy. LOL."
"I believe everyone has a soul mate. I hope to find her soon lol."
"Willing to say we met in a grocery store lmao."
"Sometimes I enjoy relaxing with a good movie lol lame."
Quick refresher – LOL is short for laugh out loud. It's not the latest punctuation mark. You don't just pop it into the end of random sentences.
None of the phrases above even warrant a "LOL." Why is it so funny that you hope to find your soul mate? Does having a lazy weekend literally cause you to crack up uncontrollably? If thinking about relaxing with a good movie or downing craft beer is forcing you to erupt in hysterical laughter, I can only assume you're either high on drugs, mentally slow or fucked up in the head.
"LOL" use is NEVER casual. LOLers can't contain themselves. Once "LOL" rears its ugly head, you can be damned sure millions more will follow. Tell someone you had a busy day and can't wait to veg out under a blanket, you'll be met with an "LOL." Suggest a new restaurant for dinner and the likely response will be, "LMAO. Sounds great."
Whoever said that it's hard to get to know someone through text messaging was wrong. I can tell plenty about a person from the moment a "LOL" or "LMAO" appears on my phone screen.
Before text language became standard, I used to think "LOL" meant "loser online." Seriously. It's more fitting.
Anyways, if you're over the age of 27, stop saying "LOL." You sound like a dumb ass.
*Emoticons are tolerable with limited usage.

I'm worried that Mike has an undisclosed injury. He's typically disruptive in one on one situations, and usually very stout at the point of attack versus double teams. I couldn't believe how poorly he played compared to his normal self. I did not see anything obvious with him, but I have to think there is something hindering his play.
I've also got to say I'm becoming a big Countess fan. The kid is confident on the field, and with more experience, we'll have a lockdown corner on one side, and soon. Glad to see him becoming a player.

|SMB Video
I typically detest all things Spartan, but the Amazing Grace video was just that, amazing. A classy move by SMB, no matter what school they attend.
And as an alum who gave up season tickets years ago due to conflicts with my kid's own sporting schedules, I appreciate DB offering partial ticket packages so I can now resume going to games. I don't dig the shakedown letters to stay on the ticket list, but I do like the fact that I don't have to buy a season's worth of tickets.

|Thank you to M Dog
for posting my exact sentiments. I loved the Fab Five for shaking things at UM up, and for once, making UM the "cool" team to root for. It was fun while it lasted, and even though the banners are down, the memories live on.
And while I'm no longer a Chris Webber fan, I hope everyone that did not have strong memories of his UM playing days got a chance to observe what an athletic freak he was during the highlights that were shown. My 22 year old son was marveling at the things Webber could do on the court while watching Fab Five with me.

|My kids actually bought me tickets for this game...
for my birthday. I'm pumped to go, but I'm also bracing for the traditional "Asshole" chant upon entering Breslin. My only saving grace will be my youngest one, who is a freshman at the hole by the Red Cedar. May the shitty Sparty gear he dons give me some rest.

|This is simply a great hire.
When I heard Mattison's name come up, I thought there was no way we could secure his services. Now that he's signed, I'm really pumped. Mattison's pedigree and cache as a successful college and NFL coach are second to none. While I was not high on the Hoke hire, this is the kind of staff hire that really makes me think Hoke has the stones to get the job done. Hoke is obviously secure enough in his ability that he can bring in a top flight DC and not worry about someone looking over his shoulder.
Well done Coach Hoke.

|Best wishes to Tate.
I'll miss the excitement of Tate coming into the game and giving us some "oooh" and "aaah" and "oh shit" moments. He certainly kept it interesting, and I always thought he left it all on the field.
That being said, I hope he can straighten out whatever issues he has and find success. I will be openly rooting for him wherever he lands.
I do have one question, though - why have all three Forcier brothers now transferred from their original school?

|Go Blue
Its all about the team at this point, which I think Hoke gets. I've got tons of concerns about Hoke, his record and his ability to lead a premier program, but we've got to get behind this hire and see if he can make it go. To me, Hoke clearly understands the Michigan tradition and expectations, but we will have to wait to see if he can deliver. We will only truly be able to evaluate DB at this same point in time, when some results are put forth on the field.
I truly believe RR will land somewhere and do a good job. Watch out for him being at Clemson in 2012, a place he knows and where he could find success again. Good luck to him and his staff, they were in a tough spot and in the end, did not deliver the hoped for results.

|The Big Lead
has some pretty damn good sources in the sporting world, so I take whatever Jason McIntyre has to say seriously. If he is hearing rumors that Harbaugh is waffling, it has some weight with me.
That being said, I refuse to believe Brandon has committed the same mistake as Bill Martin. DB strikes me as a cool customer with way too much savvy to be caught with his pants down. If the Harbaugh deal does not somehow come to fruition, you can be sure he has a solid backup plan already formulated. I have a lot of (blind) faith in DB and his decision making skills.
|3 years 40 weeks ago
|I don't understand why so many people in the media
think DB has to act now. I admire DB because he brings a different, new and aggressive mindset to the AD job. Why does he have to do the same thing every other program does?
I'm certain any decision he comes to will turn up roses, as in Rose Bowl, sometime in the near future.

|You have to respect Green.
To post comments like he did shows he's a class kid who was raised right. I respect MSU hoops, and now I can quietly pull for Green to play well (when not playing us) and not feel bad about it. He's the kind of player every program needs, a sixth man type who doesn't bitch about coming off the bench and can do whatever his team needs when it is needed, and he provides leadership.
That being said, he still wears that damn green and white...

|This is such an amazing event
and of course no one but UM would do such a great job getting this put together.
I went to a junior game there on Sunday, and the venue is just unreal. We were on the field standing on a platform on the corner of the rink, and spent all our time between periods and whistles looking up and around the stadium. I cannot imagine how incredible an atmosphere this will be on Saturday. To put it in perspective, my wife, who is not a hockey fan at all, was hacked that I did not get tickets for the Big Chill after being there Sunday and seeing how really cool it would be to attend.

|Can we please stop bashing Lloyd?
He's the one coach who has actually delivered a National Championship in the last 60 years, and people are accusing him of screwing the program on the way out the door. Does anyone truly believe this? Lloyd, while not my favorite M coach of all time, did a damn fine job for our school.
This constant Lloyd bashing meme is worse than political discussions of who is right and who is wrong. How long can you hammer the previous administration for the current one's woes?
While I always enjoy reviewing these statistical analyses, I'm more of a bottom line guy. 6-18 in the Big Ten the last three years while getting owned by the top half of the league is a poor performance regardless of any other statistics. The question remains: is this something that you believe will improve enough over the next year to keep RR? I just don't know. I'll leave that to DB and trust his judgment.
|3 years 42 weeks ago
|I disagree with your assessment.
1. Stanford has a fanbase that couldn't care less about football. This is not the case at Michigan. Harbaugh knows the passion that surrounds the Maize and Blue.
2. Harbaugh knows he would be king in AA if he can turn the program around. He saw how Bo was worshipped, and that is available to him. He could have long term stability, which is not a hallmark of NFL coaches.
3. The NFL is about to have a labor stoppage by most accounts. Based on a review of the coaching situation by Peter King, it appears teams may take a pass on hiring new coaches and paying them big bucks to sit around. Also, a new coach may end up only having a few weeks to implement their system once the labor deal is settled. Not exactly stable and not exactly a great way to start a NFL coaching career.
4. The NFL is littered with college coaches who failed at the transition to the NFL. Why potientially join those ranks? See Spurrier, Steve, and Holtz, Lou, among others. And those two had won national championships.
Just my $0.02.

|Great piece, Brian.
I think a lot of us are on the fence. I fully supported the RR hiring, as I wanted something new and exciting in Ann Arbor. I got what I hoped for on offense (for the most part), but everything else has been an unmitigated disaster. RR's record speaks for itself, and I'm starting to wonder if the Big 10 job was too big for RR.
My tipping point is RR's contention that he understands big rivalries like OSU vs. UM because he lived through WVU vs. Pitt. C'mon, really?
As a passionate fan and alum, I don't like instability and would have preferred RR to be the man and have established himself as such. However, college football is a results oreinted business, and he just isn't getting it done, whatever the underlying reasons. I'm personally tired of the upper half of the Big 10 having their way with my beloved Maize and Blue. After a 6-18 conference record, I find that unacceptable. And I also refuse to keep pummelling Lloyd Carr for his deficiencies at the end of his tenure. Lloyd did a great job, and stayed too long, but some of that is on Bill "Sailboat" Martin.
I also buy into the idea that Dave Brandon will do what is absolutely best for the university, the alumni, the fans and the program. If he decides to keep RR, I'm on board. Make a switch? I'm on board.
Go Blue.

|This confirmed what I had thought...
about our offensive efficiency and how/when we put points on the board. The analysis is excellent.
Even given this data, I still don't understand why the hell we start out so slow against the better teams and pick up steam later. The data doesn't really talk to that issue. It seems like we are always 21 points in the hole before we start to see some real spark in the offense. I wish I knew what to credit that to: inexperience, adjustments, the other team getting bored, etc. Hopefully it is something correctable. If we can score first and put the pressure on the other team, I could see the opponent getting buried by us. I still daydream about what could have been against little brother had we scored on that first drive.

|Bielema joins...
one Mr. Danny Hope as eternal coaching douchebags. I think I have to now put Bielema in the lead, as he will last longer at Wisky than Hope will at Purdue, and I'm looking for a real long term hate affair. Looks like I have my wish.

|That there's some diversity in opinion...
A lot of differing perspectives in this thread. I'm an old fart ('87 grad, and no, not 1887). I grew up worshipping Bo and hating OSU with a passion that still burns. OSU is evil, and that is not subject to negotiation. I do have a few thoughts on this thread:
1. OSU is evil incarnate. Can't be said enough. I just hate the Buckeyes, and especially those queer gold pants they hand out after beating M.
2. I'm tired of "fans" bagging on Lloyd. The guy was classy and won a national title. What the hell else do people want? He represented our school and program with class. Leave him alone and give him some respect. Who gives a shit if some of his guys weren't conditioned like Olympic decathletes?
3. I supported the hiring of RR. I still do. He brings a totally different angle to the game, one which I still think can deliver big results. He also may be more demanding that Lloyd, but I want to see that translate into wins. I certainly think the Barwis effect is helping, but we as a program are not at the level any of us wants. I think we can be there next year, however. We have had to display something no Michigan fan has a plethora of, and that is patience.
4. OSU is just an awful school with a scum sucking fanbase of lunatics.
5. For the record, I did respect Woody. No one was ever as talented at throwing yard markers.
P.S. RIP Rob Lytle. One of my absolute favorite Wolverines when I was growing up.

|You have to beat who is on your schedule.
You can overanalyze the record, but 7-3 at this stage is about where I thought we would be. Sconnie typically does not play well in Ann Arbor, and I think RR feels he has the kids moving in the right direction. I expect a competitive game, as long as those dastardly turnovers stay at 2 or below. 5 turnovers will get us killed.
I'm hoping for good weather, as I think our overall team speed will give Sconnie problems. Should be a fun one.
And congrats to those seniors who have toughed it out. I'm thrilled they get to go to a bowl. That seems like a well deserved ending for these guys.
|3 years 44 weeks ago
|The turnovers have me really concerned.
It seemed like Denard had several opportunities to take off but instead chose to chuck the ball into coverage. I had the radio on at the same time as watching the game on TV. It was actually informative when Brandy would say it looked like Denard had room to run instead of making an ill advised throw, and then see what Brandy was talking about on the TV.
Someone mentioned last week that Denard too insistent on passing when that is the play call, and not just pulling the ball down and running. I hope the coaches keep encouraging him to live for another play by pulling the ball down on occasion and making some positive yards.
|3 years 44 weeks ago
|This may have been noted before...
but for all the "MSU is ruling the State" drivel, their recruiting doesn't exactly back that up. It seems RR is holding his own, even with our struggles on the win/loss ledger. Zettel would be another huge pickup that would contradict the MSU finger wagging.
|3 years 45 weeks ago
|Tim Staudt (yes, the Lansing based MSU TV slappy)...
said on his Sunday morning sports show on Channel 6 in Lansing that Michigan had the best 1-2 punch at QB in the nation. I don't think he was being sarcastic, and I tend to agree. I am in the camp that would like to see Tate get a series or two in the first half to keep him sharp. Tate's just a kid, and I think being thrust into the game cold is tough on him. He never quite seems ready to play. If he gets a scheduled series or two earlier, I think he'd be even better in relief if Denard gets nicked. His first play after Denard got hurt sort of highlighted the issue for me.
|3 years 45 weeks ago
|I purposely waited a couple of days before posting.
I was in the "hire RR" camp when Lloyd retired. Why? Because I thought he would bring a level of offense to Michigan and the Big Ten that would create havoc against teams geared to stop the run against other big, burly, piledriving teams. Is this happening? Yes, it certainly is. And with our QBs still being young, the offense will continue to have fewer empty possessions, and the "hair of fire" concept will continue to develop.
No doubt the defense needs a major, major overhaul. Is RR able to do this? I hope so. I really thought we showed flashes of being able to play good defense, especially after all the turnovers in the 1st quarter. And the all out blitz on the last play? God, I'd love to see more of that. We give up big plays trying to play a base defense, so who cares if you give up a big play while blitzing heavily? What's the difference?
Anyway, I'm thrilled we are bowl eligible, and am hoping to put an absolute beatdown on the Big Ten's biggest tool, Danny Hope. It would be great to crush Purdue while at the same time improving our bowl position.

|Wow! Roh is back with his hand on the ground!
Good to see, but this might qualify as "too little, too late".
And the Illinois example rings true and does have several parallels. I'm starting to lean towards Brandon needing to tell RR to fire most of his defensive staff and then reassign whoever he is allowed to keep. I really think RR needs to bring in someone with autonomy to run what they please. This 3-3-5 scheme, run by someone who clearly doesn't understand it, is a disaster.
The other factor is our youth. I'm guessing almost no one playing on the D side of the ball ran a 3-3-5 in high school. A dumbed down 3-4 or 4-3 might be easier to play and produce better results as the assignments might seem more familiar to the kids we have playing. Just a thought.
|3 years 45 weeks ago
|I put off reading this until I was sure I could handle it.
And I still feel like crap. Is it too late to switch to a 4 man front and have Roh put his hand on the ground? Holy cow, that just hurt.
The Roh situation also supports one of my earlier posts - the coaches have to put the kids in the right position to make plays. As pointed out, Roh is NOT a LB. That is a complete coaching error IMO.
|3 years 45 weeks ago
|Hopefully the clouds over the program
continue to dissipate. Regardless of what RR has said, these things are a distraction and do affect recruiting, so the quicker they are resolved, the better, especially when the penalty almost exactly mirrors the self-imposed version. Nothing to see here, move along.
Now about that winning thing...
|3 years 45 weeks ago
|I'm hoping Coach Beilein
can really work with these young guys and show some progress throughout the season. I like the fact that Douglass and Novak are such hard workers, and I think it would be great if they are at least able to lead by example. I really think their lack of physical maturity in the Big 10 will work against them because the conference is so demanding, but I'm optimistic that some of the Beilein magic of working kids into better players comes into play.
|3 years 46 weeks ago
|I totally agree with one comment by Steve in PA
The coaches are not getting the kids in position to make plays. It also appears that against a known running team (us vs. PSU, WVU vs. Rutgers), if you run the stack you need to have six guys attacking the LOS with the MLB running free and not straight into a block. As Brian points out, Demens has no momentum and is getting swallowed by a guy 60-70 pounds heavier. At least if he has a few more yards to work with he can properly react and potentially crush the blocker if he has enough momentum.
The kids can only make plays if the coaches put them in the right position - I've heard this from so many coaches I know it makes me crazy, and in this case, it appears to be completely true.
|3 years 46 weeks ago
|I'm concerned about PSU stacking the box
and testing Denard's arm (and psyche). I really think PSU will force Denard to throw early. If he starts to connect, as Brian says, cackle with knowing glee. If he is still struggling in the passing game, it will be a much tougher path to victory. I just don't see JoePa and his staff hanging a couple of no-names out to dry while trying to contain Denard. I see them providing those kids with a whole lot of help to attempt to stop the run.
That being said, Illinios' success against PSU gives me an incredible amount of hope.

The controversial Florida pastor who burned a Koran in March is back in the news. Pastor Terry Jones was recently arrested in Detroit for planning an unlawful protest outside the largest mosque in the United States.
Jones sparked a bonfire of controversy after he burned a Koran in his tiny Gainesville, Florida church. He remains as defiant as ever, and he has become a flashpoint surrounding the debate over Islam in America. Now, he wants to take his fiery crusade to a whole new level.
Jones is a wanted man. The militant Muslim group Hezbollah has put a $2.4 million bounty on his head, so it's no wonder he's armed. When FOX 5 Tom Haynes anchor visited him in Gainesville, he was carrying a .40 caliber semi-automatic.
In fact, all of the pastors at Jones' Dove World Outreach Center carry weapons, and they're ready to use them.
"If you try to do something, we are armed and we will shoot you," Jones explained.
Those are words you wouldn't expect from a man of the cloth, but Terry Jones isn't your ordinary pastor. In March, he presided over a self-proclaimed Trial of the Koran inside his sanctuary, where the holy book of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims was burned for the world to see.
"Pastor Jones, who makes you the judge and jury over the Koran and the Muslim faith?" Haynes asked during their one-on-one interview.
"The constitution gives us the right to our opinion," Jones replied. "It gives us the right to express our opinion. It gives us the right to put that book, or to question that book, or to question any other book."
Jones' actions sparked a firestorm of protests across the Muslim world. Violence in Afghanistan resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen U.N. workers.
"Do you feel like you have blood on your hands after what happened in Afghanistan?" Haynes asked.
"We do not, no," Jones answered. "No, we do not feel that we are responsible for that. We do not feel that because someone is provoked that gives any excuse whatsoever for violence."
Maybe so, but General David Petraeus, the leader of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, says Jones crossed the line.
"That action was hateful, it was intolerant and it was extremely disrespectful," Gen. Petraeus said of Jones' actions.
Jones told Haynes he knows a lot of people hate him, but when asked if he was a hateful guy, Jones replied, "I guess you can judge it. If you were to ask me? No."
Jones had already threatened to burn hundreds of Korans on the anniversary of 9/11. But after pleas from Gen. Petraeus, Hilary Clinton and even President Barack Obama, he agreed not to. In March, though, he broke that promise.
"You don't see the burning of the Koran as a hypocritical act? In other words, a violent act responded to by another violent act?" Haynes asked.
"No, I see it as a protest and I see it as the burning of a book," Jones said.
It's hard to imagine how the actions of a small-town pastor can incite such deadly violence half a world away. Not far from his Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville sits the University of Florida, but Muslim students there aren't nearly as outraged.
Ismail Ibn Ali is the president of Islam on Campus. His feelings toward Terry Jones are far less passionate than his fellow Muslims in Afghanistan.
"They don't realize, as we would realize, that Terry Jones is a very fringe person and is part of a fringe group that is not representative of the United States," Ali explained.
Jones may be on the fringe, but he knows exactly what he's doing. Just look at the fervor unleashed following plans to build a mosque near Ground Zero in New York City. Jones knows he's giving voice to the anti-Muslim sentiment.
"We actually get a lot of support," Jones said. "We actually get a lot of support from different service men who write us. We get a lot of support from people who live in Muslim-dominated countries."
And if burning a Koran wasn't enough, the provincial pastor is now considering putting the Muslim Prophet Muhammad on trial.
"Are you going to stop all of this at some point?" Haynes asked Jones.
"No, no. I mean, we feel, as I've said, we feel as if God has ordained us," Jones said. "We feel a deep calling. We can't explain it any other way."
The tiny college town has had about enough of Terry Jones. No parishioners are left in his congregation, so Jones is planning to pack up and cause controversy somewhere else.
When asked how he wants to be remembered if he dies or if he is killed, Jones said, "Basically I want to be remembered as someone who tried to do the will of God. That's actually what it amounts to."
But it amounts to so much more. Jones plans to sue the government over his arrest in Michigan last week, and press forward. Whether or not he'll follow through with putting the Prophet Muhammad on trial remains to be seen.

Child Passenger Safety Advocates Recognized
Posted 9/11/2014 by firstname.lastname@example.com
Green Bay, WI - The 40th annual Wisconsin Governor's Conference on Highway Safety was held at the KI Convention Center in Green Bay, WI August 27 & 28, 2014. Three Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Advocates were recognized during the awards luncheon.
Each year Wisconsin Information Network for Safety recognizes an outstanding CPS Technician, CPS Instructor and CPS Program of the year that have been nominated by their peers/co-workers. The awards are in honor of Beth Kindschi of Monroe, WI who is a lead instructor and pioneer in the field of child passenger safety in Wisconsin and on a national level.
Motor vehicle crashes continue to be the number one cause of death and fatalities of children. Child Passenger Safety advocates promote the safe transportation of children by using child restraints and educating parent/caregivers on using car seats and boosters correctly.
CPS Technician of the year: Mary Waters, EMT/First Responder River Falls Ambulance Services has been a NHTSA certified Child Passenger Safety technician for 11 years. She was instrumental in developing the car seat safety program in West Central Regional Trauma Advisory Council and serves as an expert to many technicians who follow her lead.
CPS Instructor of the year: Patti Dickey (retired) Executive Director of Stevens Point Child Safety Center has been involved in Child Passenger safety for 32 years. She became a NHTSA CPS instructor in 2003 and provided over 500 car seat checks annually through the Portage County Child Passenger Safety Program and provided other safety initiatives.
CPS Program of the year: Safe Kids Wood County is a small coalition with programs and initiatives led by coalition members. Wood County developed one of the first diversion programs in the state of Wisconsin, which is collaboration with law enforcement of Wood County. Ticketed caregivers can attend a car seat checkup for education in lieu of paying a fine.
Each recipient was presented with a plaque at the luncheon.
Food Safety Class

National Public Health Week 2014: Overview
Since 1995, communities from across the country have participated in National Public Health Week. Every April, we come together to celebrate public health and renew our commitment to promoting a healthier nation using a unique theme to center the conversation. NPHW 2014 will focus on ways to guide the community through the evolving public health system with the theme: "Public Health: Start Here."
As we invite communities to join NPHW 2014, let's work to help them understand how public health affects their lives and offer guidance on how to navigate the changing system. Whether it's through research, data collection, health education, policy change or direct services, public health lays the foundation and creates the conditions
that put healthy choices within reach. Let's help our communities figure out where to start and how to access the variety of options made possible by public health.
A recent change that will impact the public health system is the enactment of certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Taking two U.S. health systems — public health and health care — and bringing them into each other's world, the ACA envisions more collaboration between the health workforces to save lives and money. The ACA signals a shift in our nation's health system from one that focuses on treatment of the sick to one that is committed to proactively keeping people and communities healthy and safe. Included in the historic law are comprehensive prevention provisions consistent with those called for by APHA in its health reform agenda and supported by other leading experts in population health.
National Public Health Week 2014 will fall at a critical time in the ACA process — just after the first Health Insurance Marketplace open enrollment period ends on March 31, 2014. This will be an important opportunity to rally stakeholders and members of our communities together around the value of public health. We need you to participate, and to remind your communities that public health professionals can help them navigate these changing times.

December 13, 2013
Since November 1, 2013, Marathon County Health Department, Portage County Health and Human Services, and Wood County Health Department have seen a significant rise in positive cases of laboratory confirmed pertussis (whooping cough) in students attending several different schools and organized activities within Central Wisconsin.
As a part of the follow-up procedure, Public Health staff within the health departments and agencies throughout Central Wisconsin continues to identify close contacts of positive cases of pertussis, impacting classrooms, organizations, and school sport activities. Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial disease. It is important for suspect cases to be evaluated by health care providers.
It is equally important for identified close contacts of pertussis to contact their health care providers for a preventive antibiotic prophylaxis if they have no symptoms, and for testing and treatment if they are symptomatic. It is very important that any person for whom pertussis is suspected to be tested and remain isolated until the results of the test are known. State Division of Health suggests the following guidelines in identifying, isolating, testing and treating suspect cases of pertussis:
•Symptoms in the early phase are cold-like with mild cough and progress to uncontrollable and persistent cough that may include whooping and vomiting.
•Symptoms develop about 7 to 10 days after exposure to the bacteria.
•The cough usually lasts about six weeks, but the untreated patient usually remains infectious for 2 to 3 weeks.
•The treatment of choice is usually azithromycin or clarithromycin.
•Infants and people with a weakened immune system like cancer have the highest risk of complications and may need hospitalization.
•Cough mixtures, expectorants and/or suppressants should NOT be used and help very little.
•Immunization with D-tap or T-dap is still the best defense against the disease.
•Individuals suspected of having pertussis should be isolated until the initial 5 days of antibiotic treatment are completed.
•Women in their third trimester of pregnancy should receive a Tdap immunization with each pregnancy
The outbreak of pertussis continues throughout Wisconsin. Some parents are compliant with their children's immunizations or because their children have been treated in the past for pertussis. As a result, parents may dismiss symptoms of pertussis as a cold or respiratory ailment such as asthma or allergies. In many of the investigated confirmed positive cases of pertussis, patients have reported milder symptoms of the disease and generally not the 'whoop' or uncontrollable cough, especially for patients that are currently immunized against the disease.
It is important to remember, that if you suspect pertussis in yourself or a family member to contact your local health care provider. If tested, and symptomatic, avoid public congregations such as work, school and other social settings until test results are known. If treated for symptoms, you must follow the antibiotic treatment as prescribed and remain at home until treatment is completed. If not tested by your health care provider and treated as a presumed positive case for pertussis, you must remain isolated at home for 5 days – until the antibiotic treatment is completed. Pertussis is a reportable disease to local health departments and Public health staff is required to follow up with positive cases and close contacts to patients with Pertussis. Check with your health care provider or local health department to see if you and your family are up to date with DTap or Tdap vaccine doses. As a good public health measure toward prevention wash your hands often and keep coughs covered.
For additional information contact your local health department (may list specific contacts) or visit http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/immunization/pertussis.htm

Community Health Improvement Planning Process
Posted 5/4/2012 by firstname.lastname@example.com
The Wood County Health Department, in partnership with Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital and Riverview Medical Center, is in the process of completing a Community Health Improvement Plan.
This process includes examining local county health data, identify local priority health areas, and identify community assets and resources.
Once our local priorities have been selected, community members will be asked to join implementation teams to assist in developing goals and objectives around these identified local health priority areas.
They will identify and develop evidenced-based strategies for the local health priorities, promote and implement these strategies, and evaluate the success of the strategies. Resources will be identified to mobilize the community to improve the health of Wood County residents.
We would like you to identify the Health Focus Areas that should be the priorities for the community for the next few years.
Considering the information (data) available on the Wood County Health Department website, the typed discussion points made by the Community Assessment Team, as well as your personal experience and insight, please complete the following survey.

WASHINGTON — Amid an intense debate over gun control following the mass shooting in Connecticut, the federal agency at the heart of firearms regulation in America is so beleaguered and under-resourced that it has not had a confirmed director in six years.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a division of the Justice Department, is supposed to regulate the nation's gun industry. But many within ATF say it is the industry that dominates the agency.

Raw will be live on Monday from Dallas. Brock Lesnar returns on the show which features John Cena vs. C.M. Punk with the winner faces The Rock at WrestleMania, plus Vince McMahon vs. Paul Heyman in a fight. Smackdown and Main Event are taped on Tuesday in Oklahoma City.
We've got a giant news week with the Observer with two regular issues and one back issue up on the site. The back issue, which was up on the site Tuesday, covers the original Ultimate Ultimate tournament won by Dan Severn as well as the full story behind the end of women's wrestling in WWF in 1995, Madusa being fired and showing up on Nitro and throwing the WWF women's title belt in a garbage can on television.
The two issues will be combined as a double issue for print subscribers and both are now up on the site.
Our lead story updates the WWE situation leading into WrestleMania. We look at the matches planned, the match in jeopardy, and what the status is for a number of wrestlers who have had matches talked about but those matches haven't even been teased yet on television. We look at why there isn't any pressure on booking undercard matches, as well as talk about post-WrestleMania plans.
We've got more on Undertaker, Ryback, Brock Lesnar and The Shield.
We've also got full coverage of the Elimination Chamber PPV, including business notes, match-by-match coverage, poll results and star ratings.
We've also got the most detailed update on the status of wrestling going forward as an Olympic sport. We've got more on the background of how wrestling being eliminated happened, the decision-making process, the appeal process,what legendary attempt to set an all-time Olympic record in the sport is being thwarted, as well as what the U.S. wrestling community knew.
We also look at the history of sports voted out being brought back, why wrestling right now should not have been cut and why it does need to heed this warning and make necessary changes. We look at the country very strongly pushing for wrestling to be brought back. We look at why the future doesn't look bright even if wrestling is brought back.
We look at the major and minor moves that the world wrestling community has taken in the past week, who got the blame, as well as thoughts from Kurt Angle, King Mo Lawal and Ben Askren regarding how the loss of the Olympics would have affected all of their lives and their career decisions.
We also look at how this affects the entire infrastructure of the sport in the U.S. in ways most people haven't figured.
We also have comments from Bill Watts, a former amateur wrestler who became a pro wrestling star and later a legendary promoter, and his thoughts on the subject.
We've got a major feature on WrestleMania coming to the New Orleans Superdome. We've got how it came about, as well as exclusive first news on what the planned main event is for WrestleMania 30. We also look at the few WWE wrestlers who have worked the Superdome before, as well as The Rock talked about his only time in the building as an athlete, which was not as a pro wrestler.
We also go back to the days when the Superdome was arguably the hottest big show setting in the U.S. We have a history of pro wrestling at the Superdome starting in 1976 when Bill Watts and Leroy McGuirk took the gamble and what lineup they used to make the first show.
We have a history of pro wrestling in the building, including the all-time biggest shows, the biggest angles leading to the shows, and the greatest matches held in the building. We look at the story of one of the greatest matches of its era that bombed at the gate. We also look at the Nitro events at the Superdome and a rundown of the most successful shows.
We've got a feature on Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche in leading to the most important woman's MMA fight in history. We look at the unique dynamic of the fight, women's MMA on television, live ticket sales, previous women's fights on PPV, the UFC Prime Time shows building the fight, the reaction Rousey has received, background of Liz Carmouche and more.
We have a feature on the Jack Swagger arrest and how it affects WrestleMania, as well as Dana White's new stance on TRT and some UFC statistics about big guys vs. small guys that will in some cases confirm what is the general feeling and in others show the exact opposite of what people think, as well as an investigation of terms like ring rust, UFC jitters and weight cutting issues.
We also have notes on The Rock's schedule, what shows he is going to be appearing at and what shows he is going to be missing. We also look at the scheduled over the next several weeks of Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar. We've got a lot of news regarding how the WWE video game deal with Take 2 went down, and why it was so beneficial to THQ. We look at who the big losers in the deal were.
We also have more on Bruno Sammartino going into the Hall of Fame, who WWE wants to get to induct him, who Sammartino would pick and more.
We also have notes on two other candidates for the Hall of Fame this year, and why both are unlikely to go in the same year. We also look at the Zeb Colter character, a WCW character that this may be similar to, R.J. Brewer talks about his gimmick being used, as well as a very interesting statistic regarding children watching WWE that is the exact opposite of what everyone thinks.
We have a lot more on Tammy Sytch, as well as her apology to WWE, another WWE movie, El Generico in WWE, WWE going back to Japan, John Layfield talks the Public Enemy TV beating in the 90s, WWE injury updates, as well as new signings and people who have quietly left.
We also have a rundown on UFC's weekend event on Fuel headlined by Renan Barao vs. Michael McDonald. We look at the show, the ratings, what happened with the fighters with the best records and the strange judging in spots.

-- We'll be back later tonight with a brand new radio show covering this event plus all the news in wrestling and MMA.
-- Glenn Beck responded to WWE's invitation to Raw Monday by saying, "Unfortunately, I am currently booked doing anything else."
-- From the looks of things, it doesn't look like there will be any major fallout regarding Jack Swagger's DUI arrest a few days ago. I didn't see it, but apparently there was a five-minute uncut version of the Swagger/Zeb Colter video that WWE ended up pulling that was said to be very interesting. One person in WWE said he wouldn't be surprised if it was the Beck thing that saved Swagger and this angle. WWE is likely to go hard on it Monday with one person saying we may get a 2013 version of Vince McMahon challenging Eric Bischoff to a fight on Raw. For the moment, the uncut version is still up here, but probably not for long.
-- Emerson notes: For a brief while last night, Jack Swagger was the most searched topic on Yahoo. I was checking my e-mail around midnight and he was number 1, I came back about 15 minutes later and he had already dropped to number 2.
-- Dave Meltzer has a great article on Ronda Rousey's UFC debut tonight here, calling it one of the five most anticipated debuts in company history. I don't know what it means and we'll find out soon, but everyone I know with any interest in MMA is talking about this show tonight-- more interest than any show I can remember in recent history.
The media is all over this to a ridiculous degree as well, and at this point I can't even begin to make a buyrate prediction except to say if you're one of those Internet fans who thinks nobody wants to see this show because Dan Henderson vs. Lyoto Machida is the semi-main and not the main event, well, you're gonna be pretty disappointed.
-- Jon Snowden writes about Rousey here here including her discussing her brush with bulimia.
-- Dana White last night noted that there are no plans to do a 145-pound women's division yet, but in addition to the eight 135-pounders under contract, they're looking to sign seven more.
-- One thing to watch for on this and the next several UFC shows is if the number of decisions skyrockets. White made it clear they need to cut about 100 fighters, which means aside from the very top stars, anyone who loses could conceivably wake up the next day reading on Twitter that they're out of a job (White, by the way, noted that he was really sorry some of the recent cuts found out they were cut by reading about it on Twitter and not from personal phone calls). So basically, everyone knows the deal now -- DO NOT LOSE. That may lead to guys playing it safe and fighting their way to safe, less risky decision wins.
-- The forecast for the weekend has Snitch with Rock finishing at number three with $11.2 million, behind Identity Theft at $13.5 million and Die Hard 5 at $12.1 million. Rock talks the film here.
-- Story on the doom of WCW with quotes from me here.
-- Not sure how he swung this, but former UFC fighter Sean McCorkle (Big Sexy) did Inoki's show today, losing to Satoshi Ishii.
-- Jeff Hardy beat Robert Roode in a TNA Impact cage match last night at the house show in Detroit. Show got decent reviews. I have always enjoyed TNA house shows when they've come to this area. One thing I've noticed of late in reports is that there are complaints, and I'm not sure if they're valid or not and whether anyone has actually time it, that it takes longer to set up the cage for the main event than the main event takes to finish up.
-- Teddy Hart ran AAA Canada last night in Calgary, basically Hart Legacy Part II, with John Morrison winning the world title in the main event. They shot an angle to set up Morrison vs. Hart vs. Jack Evans at their next show. Haven't heard much about how things were run, but it didn't draw as well as the last show in the same building last month.
-- ROH on Sinclair tonight has American Wolves & Michael Elgin vs. Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly & Roderick Strong, Matt Taven vs. Tadarius Thomas in the finals for the Top Prospect Tournament, plus appearances by Kevin Steen, Jay Lethal and more.
-- The Fight Network has a busy weekend of live fights in store with broadcasts of the International Judo Federation: Judo World Grand Prix from Dusseldorf, Germany, Cage Contender 16 mixed martial arts from Dublin, Northern Ireland and Frank Maloney Promotions boxing action from Liverpool, U.K., featuring David Price vs. Tony Thompson in a heavyweight showdown. It begins Saturday, February 23, at 11 a.m. ET with live coverage of the IJF's Judo World Grand Prix.
-- Some international history from Graeme:
In Japan
- On 1984, 2/23 Genchiro Tenyru defeated Ricky Steamboat in Tokyo to win the All Japan United National title left vacant by the death of David Von Erich
- On 1980, /2/23 Dick Murdoch defeated Jumbo Tsuruta in Kagoshima to win the All Japan United National title
In Mexico
- On 1946/2/23 Gory Guerrero defeated Tarzan Lopez in Mexico City to win the NWA EMLL Middleweight title
- On 1996/2/23 Los Brazos defeated Dos Caras & Villano 4 & Villano 5 in Mexico City to win the National Trios title
In England
- On 1983/2/24 Dave Finlay defeated Ringo Rigby in a tournament final in Oldham to become Joint Promotions British Light Heavyweight champion
-- WAR wrestling in Lima, Ohio on Saturday March 9th at UAW HALL at 1440 Bellefontaine Ave.
