>> Video Below: Tom Osborne announces retirement plans
* * *
LINCOLN — Tom Osborne, who returned to the University of Nebraska five years ago to help mend an athletic department that was hurting, said Wednesday that his stay will end Jan. 1.
Osborne told University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman of his intentions in August. Perlman said he already has interviewed candidates for the athletic director position and may interview more.
"I was honored that he asked me to do this job five years ago," Osborne said. "At the time he asked me, I wasn't sure if it was a good idea or not. But hopefully it's worked out well. So I guess the next move is his."
Osborne, 75, started with a joke about the aging process before telling a press conference packed with news media members and Husker athletic department personnel of his plan.
Osborne said possible concerns about his age were driven home back at the hiring press conference of NU basketball coach Tim Miles when Miles was asked what it would be like to work for a 75-year-old athletic director.
"At some point, whether you're able to function or not, the perception is that getting old can get in the way," Osborne said. "So I don't want to be one of those guys where everybody is walking around wringing their hands and wondering what they're going to do with him."
Starting Jan. 1, Osborne will become athletic director emeritus and said his plan is to stay around for about six months to "help in any way I can with the transition." Health, he said, was not an issue in his decision.
"I'm probably healthier today than when I was a member of Congress," said Osborne, the state's 3rd District representative from 2000 through '06.
Perlman called it a privilege to work with Osborne, whom he coaxed out of retirement when NU fired Steve Pederson in October 2007. Perlman said Osborne stabilized the athletic department, made some promising coaching hires and brought the Husker facilities to a new level.
"I know he'll be an important part of this athletic department as long as he wants to be," Perlman said, "because he's a real treasure."
Since 2007, Osborne has hired six head coaches: Bo Pelini (football), 2008; Chuck Chmelka (men's gymnastics), 2009; Darin Erstad (baseball), 2011; Dave Harris (cross country), 2012; Tim Miles (men's basketball), 2012; and Stacy Underwood (rifle), 2012.
Current Nebraska projects include the East Stadium expansion in football and the Pinnacle Bank Arena construction for basketball. Both will be completed in 2013.
NU also added the Hendricks Training Facility for basketball, the Haymarket Park indoor facility for baseball and softball, developed the Student Life Complex at West Stadium and will move its volleyball program from the NU Coliseum to the Devaney Center.
Perlman and Osborne together also negotiated Nebraska's move from the Big 12 to the Big Ten, a conference change that became official July 1, 2011.
As far as his legacy?
"That legacy question is a tricky one," Osborne said. "I'd rather you guys wrote it than me. I don't have any particular thoughts on that."
That legacy goes all the way back to 1967, when Bob Devaney added Osborne to the Husker football staff. Osborne then succeeded Devaney as head coach in 1973, starting a 25-year run in which Nebraska posted a 255-49-3 record and won national championships in 1994, '95 and '97.
Under Osborne, Nebraska won nine or more games and played in a bowl every season between 1973 and 1997. In his last five seasons, the Huskers had a 60-3 record that stands as the most wins in a five-year span by any team in college football history.
After retiring, Osborne was replaced by Frank Solich, who served as NU football coach until being fired by Pederson in 2003. Solich was replaced by Bill Callahan, whom Osborne fired after the 2007 season and replaced with Pelini.
Perlman said the Nebraska search to replace Osborne will not be conducted in the public eye. He did say that the university has hired Jed Hughes from Korn/Ferry International to assist in the process.
|Discuss the announcement on the Big Red Today Facebook page.
"I think Nebraska is an important enough place in intercollegiate athletics that we should be able to attract the very best to this position," Perlman said.
Osborne started in 2007 with an "interim" title before it was removed and Perlman signed him up to stay at least through June 2010. In mid-2009, the end date was removed from Osborne's athletic department agreement to squelch speculation about when Osborne might retire and who might replace him.
Osborne, however, said at that time he didn't expect to stay on the job into his 80s. He turned 75 in February.
His current salary is $277,969 per year.
Osborne said he hopes the department will be in good shape for his replacement.
"I hope it's a good situation for somebody to come into," he said. "I like the trajectory."

Saints Softball Completes Weekend Sweep in Columbus
COLUMBUS, GA – Ranked No. 2 in the country, the North Georgia softball team continued their hot start to the 2011 season, grabbing two more wins on the final day of the Hughston Sports Clinic Classic on the campus of Columbus State University.
The Saints improve to 7-0 on the year after sneaking out a 3-0 victory in the opener against Lynn University, and blasting West Alabama 8-0 in five innings later in the day to wrap up play at the Hughston Sports Clinic Classic.
Game one against Lynn University was all about pitching and great defense as junior hurler Jessica Coan continued her onslaught on hitters, getting the start and tossing a complete-game shutout with 12 more strikeouts without allowing a run.
The Duluth, Ga., native allowed just five hits and picked up her second complete-game shutout of the year as she has now recorded 33 strikeouts in 18.0 innings of work on the season. Still sporting a perfect 0.00 earned run average, opponents are hitting just .127 again Coan.
North Georgia had little offense in the opener as the Fighting Knights held the Saints to just three hits, but for the second straight day, Lynn's defense would let them down, committing three errors in the game, two of which led directly to a pair of runs in the fourth inning.
The Saints scraped together a run in the third inning as Natasha Willemse led off the frame, coaxed a walk, and later stole second to put herself in scoring position with no outs. After a passed ball moved the senior to third, Ansley Williams did her job and lifted a sacrifice fly to centerfield, bringing home what turned out to be the winning run.
North Georgia added two more unearned runs in the fourth inning, capitalizing on two Lynn errors to pull away for the 3-0 victory and defeat the Fighting Knights for the second time in less than 24 hours.
Game two featured plenty of offense with the first four hitters in the North Georgia lineup exploding at the plate to carry the Saints to a 9-0 victory. Ansley Williams tallied three hits and an RBI in the leadoff spot, while Kasey Knight added a trio of hits as well in the two-hole, scoring two runs, driving in a pair, and recording three stolen bases.
Pilar Harden had her best game of the year hitting third in the lineup, tallying a pair of hits and driving in a run, while drawing a walk. Hilary Cox definitely cleaned up hitting fourth, as the junior was 2-for-3 at the plate with a home run and three runs batted in.
The Saints tallied runs in all five innings, but it was Sarah Phillips who kept West Alabama off the board, going the distance for her second complete-game shutout. The senior allowed five hits and had six strikeouts as North Georgia has now shutout opponents in five of their seven games this season.
The Saints will finally have the chance to play their home-opener for the 2011 season, returning to Haines & Carolyn Hill Stadium for a Tuesday afternoon doubleheader against Mars Hill. First pitch against the Lions is set for 2:00 p.m. in Dahlonega.

Kevin Weilbacher
Being recognized as a Microsoft MVP for ten straight years has been a humbling and rewarding experience.
I've lived in the Tampa FL area since 1974. I run my own business & technology consulting business (KWSupport) and have been selling and installing and supporting Smnall Business solutions since 2001. I am honored to have been designated a MVP every year since 2004. I was voted and selected as an SMB Top 150 Influencer in 2010 and 2012. I have been a speaker at national SMB Nation and SBSMigration conferences, as well as local and regional conferences. I am active with the Tampa Bay IT Pro (formerly SBS) User Group. I have been a featured speaker locally on SBS, WHS and 3rd party solutions. I also make presentations to the auto industry on the topics of computer security, identity theft protection and offer solutions to dealerships. I served 4 years as Vice President-Technology for Continental-National Services Corporation, a Florida-based consulting and insurance brokerage firm that uses SBS. I managed the I.T. department for Florida Blood Services (local blood bank) for 12 years working with Unix servers, and prior to that I worked in pre-sales Technical Support at Unisys (Burroughs) Corporation for 15 years in various District and Regional positions. I enjoy writing an occasional "song of the week" for the Microsoft newsgroups. My hobbies include music, magic and cooking/grilling for family and friends! I even put together the 1st MVP Cookbook. Being recognized as a Microsoft MVP for ten straight years is humbling all by itself. But to work with fellow MVP's and Microsoft personnel people from around the world, and call them "my good friends", has been a real blessing to me, both personally and professionally.

The only great-grandparents I've been able to find are my father's grandmother and grandfather. Their surname was Corcoran. They lived in Cork County. They were big sheep dealers, selling their sheep to factories. This was from the 1860s to 1900's. They passed on around the turn of the century.
I don't know how big the farm was but it was a mile outside town, on the road to a lake. The farmhouse was joined to a neighbor's. A long time ago you would have two houses joined together, two farms sharing one yard. It was a long low house, a typical farmhouse. They were very comfortable. They probably led the high life, but my great-grandfather was very strict on the girls.
There were lots of girls. Memmie, my grandmother, would have been one of the daughters. They were all gorgeous looking it seems. Everybody used to watch them going to church because their hats were amazing. This was around the 1860s. There were at least three girls in the family, and a few boys, but I don't know enough about the boys. My great grandfather was so strict he didn't allow the girls out at all. My great-grandmother used to feel very sorry for them. When there was a dance on she would help them all steal out the window at night after they had gone to bed. She would pass their clothes out the window and they would get dressed in the outhouses and then go to the dance. My mother told me that, and Memmie, her mother, told her.
My grandfather's name was Joseph O'Shea. He was a carpenter, and serving his apprenticeship for somebody in Waterford. This would have been in the late 1800s. He came from about 20 miles away. They really didn't approve of my grandfather at all. He wasn't good enough. But my grandmother loved him anyway, so she left home and married. He was just a carpenter. He wouldn't have been in their league at all. I don't know the story about their wedding, but she probably eloped with him to Waterford. Eventually the family probably reconciled with her.
He started up his own little carpentry trade and he was a brilliant craftsman. It seems he was a perfectionist and very hard to work for because he demanded perfection. He had a few men working for him and I still have people who come in and tell me about him, older men from Waterford who would have been very young boys at the time they worked for him. He used to make carts for donkeys and horses. He always signed his name JOS – Joseph O'Shea- on the shaft of the cart because he was proud of his work. If you were proud of your work in those times you always signed your name on the piece of furniture.
He had a fine workshop at the back and when we were children we used to get into the coffins and cover ourselves with shavings, because he used to make coffins as well. He was successful but he had a lot of mouths to feed. He built his own house, a three-story house in Waterford, in the town just opposite the fountain. There were 14 children in the family. My mother would have been the fourth youngest. She was born in 1918. They wouldn't have been very well off – put it this way, they had enough to eat.
Memmie died at 49 from an overdose. She used to get terrible migraines and one night the doctor was sent for. He was drunk and he gave her an overdose of morphine and he died. My grandfather went to kill the doctor and had to be held back. In those days doctors weren't prosecuted because there was no such thing as proof. My mother remembered passing the bedroom and seeing her mother lying dead in the bed just after she had died. She was only 9. My grandfather was heartbroken. He used to make all the coffins and people would come in and book their coffin. They were always beautifully carved. The coffins wouldn't be lined until they were needed, they would be plain wood. He would shave them, making sure they were smooth on the outside. We used to have great fun lying down inside them. I can still smell the shavings. That's why I love wood so much, because of that and working with wood, and feeling wood. It stems from there, my love of carpentry, from Grandpap.

Bath entry + Folklore performance package
Save 400 HUF!
If you order our Folklore performance together with a baths entry ticket, we give you 400 HUF discount from the entry fee for the bath!
The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, the Danube Folk Ensemble and Hungaria Folk Ensemble & Orchestra are three of the best professional Hungarian folk ensembles with the longest tradition (formed in 1951, 1957, and 1952), which have performances all around the country and abroad.
All three of the ensembles consist of 30 artists. Their choreographies are based on authentic dances. Some of them were collected in isolated villages and date back hundreds of years. Through the performed dances you can get a broad view of the music, dance and costume heritage of Hungary and the Hungarian inhabited areas.
Read more about the folklore performances here!
Read more about the Gellért Bath here, and the Széchenyi Bath here.
Visiting Budapest is not complete without bathing in one of its world-famous thermal spring spas. The Romans had already discovered the healthy effects of the thermal springs in what is now Budapest, however the bath culture only started developing in the Turkish times. We offer entrance tickets for the two most elegant thermal baths of Budapest: Széchenyi Bath and Gellért Bath.
Free date Gift Voucher
Give the gift of an unforgettable experience!
We give you the opportunity to surprise your loved ones with a wonderful experience by purchasing a free date ticket for them to use whenever they like.
It gets harder and harder to smile when we unwrap the umpteenth pair of socks or some other similarly unimaginative gift. Holidays, birthdays and anniversaries shouldn't be about hastily purchasing a predictable gift for our friends and family. In the past few decades studies have suggested that the joy one feels when receiving material presents, even if they are the long desired smart phone or a super expensive pair of designer shoes, doesn't last very long, especially when compared to experience gifts.
We offer you the opportunity to give the gift of our program that the recipient may enjoy at a time of his or her choosing within in a year. We request that ticket holders let us know a short time beforehand when we can expect them!
Ticket prices:
Széchenyi + Folklore: 10.600 HUF / 10.000 HUF
Gellért + Folklore: 11.300 HUF / 10.700 HUF
You can enter the spas from 9 a.m. (the ticket is valid for all day, and incudes cabin usage), and the folklore performance starts at 20:00 at the venue you selected.

Joseph H. Lebowsky Center
122 E. Main Street,
3 people favorited this theater
The Capitol Theatre was originally a vaudeville house when it opened in 1926, and later turned to movies only. It closed as a movie theater in 1985.
After a brief period when it was home to a church, it was taken over by the Owosso Players for live theatrical performances.
The current name of the theater is in honor of the theater's builder, Joseph Lebowsky, whose family owned the theater.
On February 13, 2007, an arson fire caused massive damage to the Lebowsky Center. The Owosso Players have for now moved their performances to Owosso Middle School.
In 2009, work began rebuilding and restoring the theatre.

Really clean and nice looking marquee.
As part of the theater's restoration, the OCP agreed to retain the red tiles and the 1950s marquee because that is part of the facade's history.
Financing is now in place to allow for the interior of this theater to be restored.
The correct spelling of the architect's surname is Bachmann.

Last Update on April 24, 2014 07:31 GMT
TOKYO (AP) -- Asian shares lacked a clear direction today as players took a mostly wait-and-see view ahead of talks between Japan's prime minister and visiting President Barack Obama.
The focus is on what Obama and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe may say about negotiations on a wide-reaching trans-Pacific trade agreement, despite resistance from local interests on both sides to wiping out tariffs.
Sentiments on Asian markets were dampened by worries about the U.S. economy, highlighted by a surprise drop in new home sales as well as dismal earnings.
The pessimism overshadowed confirmation from the European Union that Greece achieved a primary surplus in 2013 -- what's left when interest payments are stripped out.
The dollar fell against the euro and was little changed against the yen.
Benchmark crude oil fell but remains above $101.50.
Major business and economic reports scheduled for today
WASHINGTON -- The government's weekly jobless claims report comes out today.
Also, the government will release March durable goods numbers and Freddie Mac will report weekly mortgage rates.
A slew of quarterly earnings reports will be released today.
Before the market opens, investors will hear from Aetna, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Altria Group, General Motors, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, American Airlines, 3M , Caterpillar, Verizon, and UPS.
After the closing bell, Amazon.com, Starbucks, Visa and Microsoft will report their quarterly financial results.
Facebook 1Q results soar; CFO to step down
NEW YORK (AP) -- Facebook's first-quarter earnings and revenue grew sharply, surpassing Wall Street's expectations thanks to an 82 percent increase in advertising revenue.
The social network says it earned $642 million, or 25 cents per share, in the January-March quarter, up from $219 million, or 9 cents per share, in the same period a year ago. Adjusted earnings were $885 million or 34 cents per share.
Facebook says its revenue was $2.5 billion, up 71 percent from $1.46 billion in the same period a year ago.
Analysts expected adjusted earnings of 24 cents per share on revenue of $2.36 billion.
Facebook says its finance chief, David Ebersman, is leaving on June 1 after five years. He'll be replaced by David Wehner, currently vice president of corporate finance and business planning.
DALLAS (AP) -- Texas Instruments is giving an upbeat forecast for the current quarter after the chipmaker's first-quarter profit rose 35 percent.
Texas Instruments makes semiconductors used in consumer devices and industrial equipment and is reducing its reliance on chips used in smartphones and tablets. The company said that revenue from chips that convert analog signals to digital ones and from embedded technology such as microcontrollers accounted for 84 percent of first-quarter sales. Both segments grew by double-digit percentages.
Meanwhile, revenue from everything else tumbled by 28 percent.
Net income was $487 million, or 44 cents per share, including a gain of 2 cents per share from a sale that the company had not included in previous guidance to investors. The results compared with year-ago profit of $362 million, or 32 cents per share. Revenue grew 3 percent to $2.98 billion.
For the second quarter, the company predicted that earnings would be between 55 cents and 63 cents per share on revenue of $3.14 billion to $3.40 billion.
BEIJING (AP) -- China's government says it will open 80 projects in eight state-run industries to private and foreign investors as part of efforts to make its slowing economy more efficient.
The Cabinet announcement is the latest in a series of policy changes aimed at carrying out the ruling Communist Party's promises to give entrepreneurs and foreign investors a bigger role in the state-dominated economy.
The statement late Wednesday gave no indication whether private investors would be given any control over the newly opened industries, which include oil and hydro power.
Other industries cited by the statement were wind power, natural gas storage and distribution, solar power, coal, railways and port operations.
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Federal Communications Commission is set to propose new open Internet rules that would allow content companies to pay for faster delivery over the so-called "last mile" connection to people's homes.
The proposed rules also call for enhanced scrutiny of such deals so they don't harm competition or limit free speech.
That's according to a senior FCC official familiar with the matter who wasn't authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is to present the proposed rules to the other commissioners on Thursday.
The new rules are meant to replace the FCC's open Internet order from 2010, which was struck down by a federal appeals court in January.
While the older rules technically allowed for paid priority treatment, such dealings were discouraged.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The head of the National Transportation Safety Board says the Obama administration needs to take steps immediately to protect the public from potentially catastrophic oil train accidents even if it means using emergency authority.
Deborah Hersman, wrapping up a two-day forum on the rail transport of oil and ethanol, said the Transportation Department shouldn't wait for the usual federal rulemaking process to run its course. She urged regulators to use their authority to issue emergency orders or interim rules to bring about tougher standards for tank cars used to haul oil and ethanol.
She said the risks of such accidents are clear and waiting will only lead to a "higher body count."
Hersman praised Canadian authorities who announced Wednesday that they banning or phasing out older, more dangerous tank cars.
NEW YORK (AP) -- The pay of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s outgoing CEO fell 73 percent in 2013 because he didn't get stock awards that are given in anticipation of future performance as well as a lower performance-based bonus.
The world's largest retailer gave Mike Duke, 64, a compensation package worth about $5.6 million including a base salary of $1.4 million and a performance-based bonus of $2.8 million for the fiscal year that ended on Jan. 31.
Other compensation totaled $490,090, including retirement contributions and $144,586 for personal use of company aircraft.
The AP's calculation counts salary, bonuses, perks and stock and options awarded to the executive during the year.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Warren Buffett says he disapproves of Coca-Cola's highly contested pay plan for its executives.
Buffett, the beverage maker's largest shareholder, called the plan "excessive" in an interview on CNBC after the plan was approved at the company's annual meeting.
But Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway abstained from voting against the pay plan because he believes in Coca-Cola's management and CEO Muhtar Kent.
The pay plan came under scrutiny after Wintergreen Advisers took public issue with it last month. Wintergreen CEO David Winters said the plan was a "raw deal" for shareholders that would transfer roughly $13 billion to management over the next four years. He urged Buffett to vote against the plan.
In a statement, Coca-Cola Co. says it respects Buffett's "philosophical stance on equity-based compensation."

The Big Bang Theory Review: Something-Something on the Sideby Carla Day at . Updated at .
I got itchy just looking at Leonard's red and irritated chest. How did he stand it? Why is Leonard friends with Sheldon again?
The Big Bang Theory Season 7 Episode 8 was just odd. It was disconcerting to watch Sheldon be not just calm, but overly so. I'm surprised his friends didn't send him to a doctor for a brain exam. Though, Leonard should have gotten one too for torturing himself with that sweater.
If Leonard was going to play it out in order to win over Sheldon, he should have at least taken some Benadryl. I mean, really! Penny was spot on when she asked if the sweater was made of bees. His chest certainly looked like it was giving him that bad of a reaction.
I'm surprised that neither I nor any of his friends figured out why Sheldon was so calm. Of course, he already paid for the movie. That really was the only logical explanation, since Sheldon having a lobotomy was out of the question.
Leonard was a sucker! Sorry, dude. Overall, it was a pretty funny ruse that Sheldon played on him. And it went in line with his obsession with the trick flower and can. Sheldon may be super intelligence, but he has the sense of humor of a child.
While Leonard and Sheldon were playing each other to see who would win, Raj was having girl troubles. And while Penny meant well, she only made the situation worse...then better... and ultimately worse again. All of which really was Raj's fault.
"What is wrong with you?" It was sad, yet hilarious to see Raj yell at himself in the mirror. He really needs to learn some people skills when it comes to interacting with women.
I'm glad he didn't end up with Lucy again, though. Amy and Sheldon both have issues, but it works for them for the most part. Lucy and Raj's individual problems were compounded when they were together.
Perhaps, Raj can finally move on, take some lessons from Penny, and not offer to be "a little something-something on the side" again. That was a hilarious come on, though.
While Sheldon and Leonard's story provided the funnier overall moments, the best lines were that one from Raj and this one from Howard:
Howard: If I may, he has so little self-respect and is so desperate for the smallest crumb of affection, she could literally sleep with his own father in his own bed and post the video to YouTube, and he'd still buy her flowers and ask her to be his bride.
Raj: He's right.
- Permalink: He's right.

Amy calls Sheldon 'diabolical' at the end of this episode and frankly I have to agree with her. Leonard is his own worst enemy for playing along with a prank Sheldon has been planning for years, but it doesn't soothe the soul to see this genius of a hapless geek acting so goddam mean to his best friend. In fact he's at it twice, trying to get his girlfriend to suffer a face full of water from a squirt flower. As Amy herself suggests, he's obsessed with childish things, and his petty and deceitful treatment of Leonard is reminiscent of school kids slyly pushing each other into stingy nettles or thorn bushes: immature, idiotic and hurtful.
In fairness, I get the comic potential and truth be told Leonard's plight did provide great lines: 'Is the experiment that you're an idiot?'; 'What's that jumper made of, bees?'; 'Sheldon being reasonable – It's freaking me out.' Yet I couldn't help thinking this Itchy and Scratchy style physical comedy was over the top. These two are meant to be best friends. You don't put your best friend through this sort of agony – Barry Kripkie maybe, or Will Wheaton, when he was Sheldon's Public Enemy Number One, but Leonard? Really?
There was a side plot as Raj had the opportunity to catch up with Lucy. I never warmed to his ex-girlfriend. I enjoyed the scene at the Cheesecake Factory where Penny harangued her and the aftermath at Penny's flat. Here was a succession of quick one liners which rocketed out of the four actresses mouths. Bernie and Amy stealing drinks and food because Penny is [suddenly] such a dreadful waitress was hilarious. However I didn't think the ''racist' lines worked. These should simply have been cut out. They made Penny sound unworldly which she is not. It was a bad miscalculation on the part of the writers and rather stuck out in an otherwise amusing few scenes. Penny isn't supposed to be dumb and incapable, she's an actress who's been in plays and is studying psychology at night school. Well, at least Raj can finally bury that part of his heart and even got set up with a proper date, which was unsurprisingly something of a disaster, ['What the hell is wrong with you???] but I hope it opens the way for more bad dates for Raj as the series has missed the geeks trying the dating game recently.
Ultimately I was uncertain whether I really enjoyed this episode. Sheldon and Leonard spark off each other well and so do the girls, but it treads water a little and both denouements leave a sour taste in the mouth.
I'm wholeheartedly agree what Fifty and ElenaGreece wrote!
I just add that they have to make Penny dumber and occasionally buzzed to make it believable that someone like Penny would actually love that fat whiny annoying hobbit.
I just wished this show had options like on the fanfiction site, I would click on Amy and Leonard in the "without filters" and then click on apply
This show turning into one big clusterf**k!
I chuckled a little bit when Sheldon made Leonard wear the sweater but by the end, In Leonard's place I would have strangled Sheldon, even with Amy as a witness.
This was mindless, vindictive cruelty on Sheldon's part to subject his best and probably only true friend to this torture.
Leonard ended up looking like a crazed lobster.
I suspect the writers will get some serious fan reaction to this episode and not in any kind of good way.
For the first time in six and a half years, I truly disliked Sheldon.
I think it was a lame episode. The Howard-Sheldon story was odd and unfunny, and the Raj story was simply dreadful. The writers made him such a pathetic loser, it's simply unbearable to watch. I did not enjoy Lycy's comeback, either. It's a sad and horrible story plot for poor Raj, and I'm afraid she's here to stay. I cannot understand why he is so desperately in love with her, and I also cannot understand why Leonard still lives with Sheldon, and not with his girlfriend...Is this comedy, dear writers;
I know more than one comment has hit on "dumb Penny," but I don't think they played that up like they have. It actually seemed rather familiar to me the scene of visiting a friend at their work and distracting them and they screw up and don't wait on you like a customer but take you for granted -- I mean it didn't seem dumb or anything to me (and funny when they were so hungry because they didn't get their orders or say a word to her about it)!

Avian mortality from solar farms
Alternative energy has some unintended consequences. Wind farms are known to chop up birds and bats, but solar energy was seen as benign – until now.
A report from the National Fish and Wildlife Forensic Laboratory examines bird mortality from three solar facilities in California. What is particularly interesting is that these facilities each represent three different methods of producing solar energy. The objective of this report was not to count the number of avian deaths, but to study the manner of death of 233 bird remains collected at the sites over a few days.
The Ivanpah generating station, in the Mohave Desert southwest of Las Vegas, uses 173,500 heliostats each with two mirrors to focus sunlight on a tower where water is converted to steam to generate electricity. This method is called "solar-flux" and it generates very high temperatures. Birds experience traumatic impact with the mirrors, but the larger danger is getting singed by the heat flux which is up to 800 degrees F.

Prevention & Screening: Pre-Cancerous Conditions
"Pre-cancerous cells" appear abnormal under a microscope and can, if left untreated, develop into cancer. This is also called carcinoma in situ.One of the most common and trustworthy tests used to detect precancerous and cancerous gynecologic conditions is the Pap Test. Removal of the abnormal cells prevents cervical cancer. Pap tests can also find cervical cancer early, when the chance of being cured is very high.
If you have had an abnormal pap testFirst, talk to your healthcare provider. Sometimes, their recommendation will be to wait a period of time and have another Pap test before taking any other action. If the recommendation is to seek some form of treatment.
If you have:
- abnormal Pap test
- vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN)
- carcinoma in situ
- condyloma (genital warts)
- human papilloma virus (HPV)
If you have:
- cervical dysplasia (also known as cervix intraepithelial neoplasia or CIN)
- squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL)

1,400-Horsepower AMC-Powered Mud Racer
"If a little is good, a little more must be better," Richard Dunavant said when describing how his '77 CJ-7 ended up a dedicated mud racer. Richard previously owned a whole slew of Jeeps, including a few different CJ-7s, a couple of Grand Cherokees, four XJs, and a J3000. In 1989, though, he sold his '82 CJ-7 because it did not fit the needs of his young family. But Richard was never cured of his Jeep affliction, and three years later his wife Julie helped him drag a CJ frame into their garage so that Richard could start a father-son project with his son Richie. When Richard and Julie lost Richie to cancer 17 years ago, rather than sell the Jeep, Richard decided to make their CJ-7 bigger and better than ever in Richie's memory.
The foundation for Richard's mud machine is the original '77 frame. It has been considerably reinforced with multiple crossmembers and a full eight-point, 1.75-inch diameter, 0.095-wall chromoly rollcage from Mike Graham at Virginia Speed Race Cars. The leaf springs were ditched ten years ago and replaced with coilovers to help the tires hook as the Jeep evolved into a serious mud racer. The fronts are only dinky 14.5x15 Sand Tires Unlimited tires on 15x10 Weld Drag Lites, but the rears are all business. The 15x18 Real Wheels are mounted with a pair of heavily cut 39.5x18.5-15 Super Swamper Boggers for unmatched traction. Virginia Speed Race Cars built the front three-link from 11/4-inch, 0.095-wall chromoly tubing and good 3/4-inch Aurora chromoly rod ends. Strange coilovers keep the whole thing up in the air. Out back, a set of Afco coilovers work in conjunction with a four-link utilizing 0.095-wall chromoly tubing and 3/4-inch Aurora chromoly rod ends. The rear lets the Boggers hook hard enough that even with a 106-inch wheelbase, a 7-foot-long wheelie bar is often put to good use. After all, you don't want the front tires getting too far from terra firma when heading down the track at over 100mph.
A dialed-in suspension is an important component in getting the Jeep to hook up, but it is only part of the equation. It takes some serious horsepower to turn cut Boggers fast enough to make a successful racer. Motorvation comes from an all-aluminum 499ci Indy Racing AMC engine with Indy aluminum cylinder heads, Jessel rockers, and a huge Comp Cams roller camshaft. Barry Allen Racing Engines built the big-displacement AMC engine with a Moldex crankshaft sporting a 4.15-inch stroke, GRP aluminum connection rods, and Diamond Racing pistons for the 4.375-inch bore. The combination squeezes out a 14:1 compression ratio and is fed by a huge 1,200 cfm Holley Dominator. The engine makes 928hp at 7,500 rpm and 694 lb-ft of torque at 6,900 rpm. Oh, and that's before the two-stage nitrous system is activated!
The first NOS Fogger system adds even more power and is activated when the transbrake is released. Yet a second nitrous system on top of that, a NOS Big Shot plate, is activated by a switch on the steering wheel. Both systems are plumbed with enough braided-steel line and anodized aluminum AN fittings to double Aeroquip's quarterly profits. The whole assembly bumps total engine output to nearly 1,400hp and requires 18 volts to properly light off the fire, which Richard accomplishes with an Optima 12-volt battery mounted in series with a smaller Optima 6-volt battery. The high-voltage goes through an MSD 7AL3 ignition box and Mallory distributor that uses a crank trigger to fire. Since the Jeep is only used for short bursts, a dinky, lightweight radiator from a Volkswagen Scirocco is sufficient to cool the engine.

C'ville Fire Chief Schuldt retires after put on leave
By Mike Danahey email@example.com February 8, 2013 3:46PM
Carpentersville Fire Chief John Schuldt retired Friday after being placed on administrative leave in late January. Sun-Times Media file photo
Updated: March 11, 2013 6:46AM
CARPENTERSVILLE — Fire Chief John Schuldt retired from the department Friday, a little more than a week after he was put on administrative leave for undisclosed reasons.
Village Manager Mark Rooney's office confirmed Schuldt's retirement but would not comment further on it, including the circumstances leading to the job action.
It was first revealed on Jan. 31 that Schuldt had been put on leave, although Rooney would not comment as to why the move had been made.
Schuldt, 52, was named chief in 1996 and has served with fire safety organizations on the state and even the national level.
The Illinois Fire Chiefs Association named Schuldt the Illinois Fire Chief of the Year for 2011 from among departments with a population of more than 25,000.
Schuldt was nominated for the award by Assistant Fire Chief John Skillman. At the time, Skillman told The Courier-News that Schuldt had been on the department for 34 years, including 31 in a full-time role.
Skillman noted in his nomination that "in May 2001, Chief Schuldt was asked by his village board to serve as acting village manager. He faced several key village staff positions that were vacant and the need to develop a village budget, at the time $40 million. He was responsible for a staff of 300 people during his 12 months as acting manager until his return to fire chief in May 2002. He was asked to stay in the position, but his love for the fire service returned him to his chief's position."
In the community, Skillman noted, Schuldt was on the founding board of the local Boys & Girls Club in the 1990s. Schuldt served on a 2010 committee that brought the Healing Field to Carpentersville to honor war heroes. Since 1998, he has participated in a communitywide paint-a-thon in which volunteers paint homes of those unable to do so. He helped coordinate area fire departments' sending of help to victims of the 2004 Utica tornado and Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
In 2010, when a local family was left homeless by a fire, Schuldt worked first to solicit donations of furniture and clothing the family needed, and then worked with the owner of a storage facility to create a permanent cache of such items for future fire victims.
Schuldt helped bring "Remembering When," a fire- and fall-prevention program for older adults, to Carpentersville as a pilot project and was instrumental in setting up a division technical rescue team for the area.
According to reports, Schuldt made close to $130,000 annually, plus benefits. With his time on the department, Schuldt can collect 75 percent of his pay.

Successful Tepper candidates come from a wide variety of backgrounds and profiles. We encourage interested candidates to focus on the range, rather than the mean when reviewing class profile factors and considering whether or not they should apply. One simple way to look at this is that half of our students have GMAT scores below the median. Similarly, although most students have between 2 and 8 years of professional experience, there are several that joined Tepper directly after their undergraduate study and others that have more than 8 years of experience.
Although our most recent class has a high proportion of students from engineering/science backgrounds, we are seeking candidates from all academic disciplines, and in a typical year, half of our students come from non-technical backgrounds. You don't need to be an engineer to achieve great things at Tepper. We have many students currently studying at Tepper who were initially concerned about their chance of being admitted, that have been successful---and with many receiving merit scholarships. The only sure-thing in the admission process is that you can't get in if you don't apply!
If you have any questions regarding your candidacy, the admissions team would be happy to speak with you. Feel free to contact us to arrange a meeting with one of our counselors.

I had forgotten about this site, but someone reminded me of it and I thought of TygerLily immediately: http://smartbitchestrashybooks.com/
Trolling dates all the way back to 397 B.C. - People began following Plato around and would make fart noises after everything he said.
I got my book fix last night at Barnes & Noble; two of the pile are gifts for other people. But the new Tasha Alexander Lady Emily mystery is MINE! I'll start that as soon as I finish Patterson's "Double Cross."
"You just can't underestimate the power of positive underwear." 2013 Fruit of the Loom ad
Picked up three new books at TeslaCon (well, new to me) and I'm working on Scott Westerfeld's "Leviathan." Technically YA, but it's enjoyable steampunk with enough alt-history geekery to keep me amused there, too. Though of course, I am now kicking myself for not having bought the other two books in the trilogy. I even SAID as much while buying it, if I like this I'm going to have to get the others, aren't I? At least there's a B&N on the way to the dance studio....
I will not read all the books I bought as gifts before wrapping them...I will not read all the books I bought as gifts before wrapping them....
Yeah, I wasn't crazy about the ending either. Anthony's first wife *was* jealous but for good reason, and from the background given it seemed she was pressured by her family into settling down and having the house in the suburbs with kids. Which Anthony may have wanted but not her. And Liz wasn't fair to Paul either asking for him to transfer.
The 90's were definitely the golden years IMO. Still have much admiration for the Lawrence storyline, that took a lot of guts at the time.
Tygerlily, do you read Dear Author, too? Wonkomance (an author blog) is also entertaining.
Just spotted that Guy Gavriel Kay has a new book coming out in April, River of Stars. It's a followup to Under Heaven -- that one was set in China during the Tang dynasty of the 8th century, the new one is the 12th century Song dynasty.
"... an epic of prideful emperors, battling courtiers, bandits and soldiers, nomadic invasions, and a woman battling in her own way, to find a new place for women in the world ..."
It's not the type of book I usually read, but Kay is one of my favourite authors so I'll give it a try.
I wasn't sure I'd like Under Heaven at all from reading the description, but ended up loving it, so I'm sure I'll give River of Stars a go as well.
I'm re-reading Jennifer Government by Max Barry with my Dystopian Lit class. I always forget how darkly humorous it is, for those of you who enjoy that sort of thing.
Finished Patterson's "Double Cross" last night and liked it okay, although I don't get the Bree appeal at all. Shee's a pretty cardboard character, and the Damon-going-to-Cushing subplot was very thin. But I don't expect great literature from Patterson (he's the male equivilent to Janet Evanovich for me) and I only paid 50 cents for the book so I think I got my money's worth.
I'm still in the light-mystery mode so I picked up "Perils in Paperback" Kate Carlyle's latest Bibliophile mystery. The first chapter has Brooklyn asking if it is possible to own too many books when she's invited to a house party where the hostess is a super-wealthy collector. Right up my alley.
"You just can't underestimate the power of positive underwear." 2013 Fruit of the Loom ad
I finished Cormac McCarthy's The Road last night. I'm glad I read it, but it's not something I will go back to. The lack of context was very disconcerting, I guess it was supposed to be, but it was uncomfortable in a way.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe.
I started Darynda Jones' "Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet" last night and had to force myself to stop so I could get to sleep at a reasonable hour. Totally escapist fiction with no pretentions toward literature. Exactly what my Christmas-fried brain needs.
"You just can't underestimate the power of positive underwear." 2013 Fruit of the Loom ad
'Tis the season for "best of the year" etc. lists.
Here's a list from the reviewers at the Georgia Straight (Vancouver-area arts & culture weekly).
I just picked up a copy of Inside Edge at the Thrift Store for 1$ - going to start reading it today at lunch. Hope its good.
Does anyone here like Ian Rankin? I put his latest book on my Xmas list - excited to here Rebus is in it though it doesn't sound like he is doing any detective work.
I was just recently introduced to Ian Rankin and am thoroughly enjoying his writing. I have the new one on my nightstand ready to be cracked open.

Half a kilometre east of there, the railway station is on the line between Tirupati and Madurai, with a daily service in each direction. There is internet access at the Image Computer Centre, 52 Car St, and Sri Sai, 14-A Kadambarayam St.
For food, you've a choice of a dozen or so typical south Indian "meals" joints just off the bottom of Car Street. Delicious hot ghee chapattis are served here all afternoon, as well as all the usual rice specialities. The Udipi Brindhavan and the Deepam on Car Street opposite the temple's east entrance are typical udipi restaurants, serving, amongst other dishes, excellent parottas for under Rs10. The latter also has an adjacent ice-cream and milkshake parlour. Of the hotels, the Trisul has a posh ground-floor restaurant which serves north Indian buffets for around Rs100, and tandoori in the evening, while the Ramakrishna does excellent lunchtime thalis and a range of north and south Indian food in the evenings.Read More

- Lessons learned from mentoring
- Many companies have mentoring schemes in place and, if used to their best advantage they can be a 'win-win' for both the mentee and mentor - not to mention the company itself.But mentoring has to be about more than just helping a less experienced colleague or a role you take on because it is expected of you. You have to want to do it and recognise that at the heart of the process is a means for you to give back some of your knowledge and help someone avoid the pitfalls and the mistakes you've learned the hard way. In my experience the relation between mentor and mentee has to be based ...

Roundup: 2011-12 Fantasy Basketball Team Previews
by Jason on Oct.27, 2011, under Other, Team analysis
In case you haven't noticed, yesterday we finished our previews/analyses of each NBA team for what I'm tentatively referring to "2011-12." I suppose celebrating this accomplishment is akin to hitting a technical free throw and low-fiving imaginary teammates.
Though I'll spare you the confetti and balloons, I do want to offer this: a simple list of all 30 fantasy basketball team previews. You can also access it atop the website, no matter what page you're on.
Here's what's included in every team preview:
- depth chart (free agents and players locked into overseas contracts are noted)
- list of relevant fantasy players with projected per-game stats
- sleeper
- player most likely to surprise
- player most likely to disappoint
- category specialists
- things to consider
- the team's statistical ranks in 2010-11
- fantasy-friendliness grade
- fun bonus video
Now I'll be working on updating those rankings.

No injuries were reported after a driver struck the U.S. Postal Service branch on Emerald Bay Road with an SUV Tuesday morning.
South Lake Tahoe police received a report of a vehicle into the building about 11 a.m. When authorities arrived, they found a Ford Explorer crashed into the south side of the post office.
The driver told police she was pulling into a parking space when the accelerator on the vehicle stuck, causing her to lurch forward and crash into the building, officer Donna Kingman said.
The driver also reported she was able to back the SUV out of …
