Oregon Authentic
Everyone knows that Oregon and Nike have a fairly close relationship. In fact, we've heard one coach refer to the University as "Nike's test lab in Eugene". Unquestionably, Oregon strolls out more uniform combos than any other football team in the country (at any level). So, have you ever wondered what happens to all of those Oregon jerseys / pants / lids once they have moved on to the next set?
It has launched, want official from the equipment room gear?oregonauthentic.com— Craig Pintens (@UOPintens) April 24, 2012
Well, the Oregon athletic staff had a creative idea to help turn that "used" (which they wisely have up-sold as "authentic") equipment into very real fresh dollars for the department.
Yesterday Oregon launched a new website, OregonAuthentic.com. The website will auction off things such as game-worn jerseys, helmets, cleats, etc. from all sports.
Craig Pintens, Oregon's Senior Associate AD for Marketing and PR, announced the launch of the site via twitter (see tweet above).
Pintens a few hours later went on to tweet, "Crazy to think every item in http://oregonauthentic.com started at $1..."
It certainly is crazy, considering the jersey set that was worn vs. LSU last season has a current bid of $932, less than a day after the website launched. At that same time, a game-worn LaMichael James jersey (pictured) is pushing $700.
This idea wouldn't work for every team. First, you have to have the "authentic" inventory; and most programs reuse those things for a few seasons. Oregon's well-documented history with Nike allows them to have a large quantity of things to auction off. This serves them a dual purpose of raising money for the athletic department and cleaning out the crowded equipment room to make space for new gear.
We think this is a great idea for Oregon and we hope it generates some more novel ideas within other athletic departments across the country. We saw that Pintens shared some love with Row27 last night via twitter for their excellent work in designing and building the site. Row27 is a marketing / creative firm that is doing some very cool things for athletic programs across the country.
Georgia Southern's plan to move to FBS
Georgia Southern has started to put their five phase plan in motion to go from an FCS member to a full fledged member of the FBS.
The move, which would undoubtedly gain a ton of additional national exposure for football on television, is aimed to help the University "move from a regional university to a national university," and keeping their current coaching staff intact as much as possible.
As the Statesboro Herald explains, the plan to move to the Football Bowl Subdivision, also called the "Soaring to Victory Campaign" has been split into five phases; Phase I: "Stabilizing the Program" ($15.5 million); Phase II: "Enhancing The Student Athlete Experience" ($2.85 million); Phase III: "Upgrading Athletic Facilities" ($7.5 million); Phase IV: "Improving the Fan Experience" ($10.5 million) and Phase V: "Expanding the Technology Infrastructure ($275,000). Note from FootballScoop> That $275k for Technology Infrastructure seems a little light.
Phase I will focus on paying coaches in all sports at or above the Southern Conference median salary. Athletic Foundation President John Mulherin explained "There's no reason Georgia Southern should be the training ground for good, young coaches. If you've got a good, young coach, you want to keep them."
Right now the operating athletic budget at the University is about $12 million. In order to rank amongst the bottom FBS schools they will need to come up with a minimum of $4.4 million just to cover everything from travel expenses to the additional 22 scholarships. Their budget right now ranks them 95th out of 125 other fellow FCS schools.
Amongst the other changes are increasing the seating capacity by 6,300 seats, and adding a 57,000 square foot football ops building to improve the current facilities. "We need the very best facilities so we can to do the very best job we can, and that's why this Football Operations Center is so important for us, and that's important for us whether we decide to move anywhere or not. Our locker room is atrocious. It's embarrassing. It's so embarrassing we don't even take our recruits to show them. It's awful, by any standard. It's just awful. It's rusted out. It's dim. It's dark. I wouldn't want to take my mother in there, that's for sure. I think we're doing our players a huge disservice. And that's not our fault. We've just not had the resources to do something with that." University President Brooks Keel explained.
Willie Taggart's message to season ticket holders
Western Kentucky head coach Willie Taggart sent a letter out to season ticket holders recently, with a specific mission enclosed.
The mission had a few well defined objectives. First to re-energize the fan base who didn't think they could succeed in major college football, and secondly, to get more people at the games and out tailgating on Saturdays.
The full letter can be read below.
Season ticket holders:
I know that you all are already "true believers," and you already know that crucial next step that I talked about depends on our fan base, so what I want to do today is DEPUTIZE each one of you, and SEND YOU OUT ON A MISSION. This is Coach Taggart's CALL TO ACTION, and here's what I want to do.
First, we know some of our most enthusiastic fans from the past lost some of that enthusiasm because they honestly doubted we could succeed in major college football. I am asking you to get them back, get them fired up, and get them to buy their season tickets.
Then, there are bunches of new prospective fans out there that may be friends of yours. They may follow us through the and really wish us well, but they don't attend games. With a little encouragement from you many would become Hilltopper faithful and join the tailgate parties on Saturdays.
Finally, almost all of you are connected in some influential way to our local , restaurants, civic clubs, churches, and the media. With your leadership, and your influence, and with the cooperation of our athletics department, all of those groups can become active participants in the great spectacle of major college football. If you can get them connected, we will find ways to get them involved.
So, in your role as Coach Taggart's special deputy, your specific mission is to get five new fans to buy season tickets. If you can't get five, then get two. If you really try to get two and cannot, then I will be proud of you if you can bring one new Hilltopper fan into the fold. Just think what it will mean to our , in addition to the lift it will give our team on the field:
-Bring national recognition to our university
-Increase revenues and enhance the overall growth of our university
-Stimulate efforts - for students as well as for student athletes
-Help out our team into conversation for bowl bids and possible conference realignment
-Economic stimulus to the community and the entire area
-Source of pleasure and pride - enriching experiences for all of us
Now, don't see this as a job. There can be great satisfaction in pulling people together in a worthy cause, and great fun in coming together to enjoy the success that follows. Join us as we chase greatness, and then share with us excellence that we intend to catch. Evey time you recruit a new Hilltopper fan, give me a call. If I'm not in the office, give the information to my Administrative Assistant and I'll get back to you. I will report your name and contribution to our football team, and I guarantee you that it will make us play a little bit harder. Honestly, it will make a real difference.
Consider yourself deputized, and consider this Coach Taggart's call to action. Let me thank you all once again for your support of WKU Football.
Willie Taggart Head Coach
We also noticed a video that echoed the same message. The video guys did a great job pairing up some great workout footage with a ton of quality motivational quotes.
The video wraps up with a simple message saying "7-5 wasn't good enough. 15,000 fans a game wasn't good enough. This time we won't leave it up to bowl committees. Blame no one. Make no excuses. Do something!"
Rebel road trip
While the assistants have hit the road recruiting, Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze and Athletic Director Ross Bjork hit the road to meet with boosters and drum up support at conventions and other events around the state.
The tour, which started yesterday with a trip to The Dock Bar and Grill in Gulfport, include stops in a total of 15 cities across Mississippi.
For two of the newest faces of Ole Miss athletics, it's been a great way to get out and visit with the Rebel faithful. "This is a great way to kick off my tenure, a great way for Coach Freeze to meet people around the state he hasn't met before." Bjork said.
Bjork explained his excitement and believes many of the pieces of the puzzle are in place for Ole Miss to succeed. ""The foundation is there. $125 million worth of facilities the last 10 years, the atmosphere at Swayze Field, the atmosphere in 'The Grove,' the Manning family, the 'Blind Side.' There are so many assets we have to work with."
Fun at Northwestern
If you've ever been up to a spring practice at Northwestern, you know that Pat Fitzgerald likes to work some fun into practice on occasion.
The video below shows the typical spin around with your forehead on a bat race that's been turned into a team building activity.
Ten spins around the bat, then hand it off to a teammate 5 yards away. However, the staff threw in a nice little twist at the end....the last player also has to eat a hot dog.
You can't make this kind of stuff up.
Freeze's recruiting pitch
It's no secret that Hugh Freeze uses the fact that he was "The Blindside's" Michael Oher's real life coach while he's out on the recruiting trail, but an interesting article with the Atlanta Journal Constitution got some insight into just how it's used.
"It's going to get discussed." Freeze told the paper. If the recruit doesn't bring it up, Freeze won't be shy about it.
"No doubt, it helps. It's an instant icebreaker for our assistant coaches or me, particularly for kids who have not heard of Hugh Freeze outside of the states of Mississippi, Tennessee or Arkansas, the places I have coached."
"I think everyone has at least knowledge, if not seen the movie 'The Blindside,' the story of Michael Oher, which is a great introduction to who we are and how we want to go about treating your young son if he joins us. I definitely think it's something we should use in recruiting."
Asked if he carries around copies of the DVD around with him during visits, Freeze responded "I haven't done that. But Michael Oher did an interview not too long ago, which he gave me an enormous amount of praise about our relationship and how he thinks I will do at Ole Miss. We're certainly going to have that with us."
Along with locking up the top recruits in the state of Mississippi, Freeze aims to dip into Georgia as well for top talent. He added that him and his staff firmly believe that if your a recruit that can have success at Georgia, then you can have success at Ole Miss as well, and vice versa.
The head coach also explains his belief behind the three things recruits should choose a college based on. First on that list is the chance for academic success, followed by their chances for athletic success. "As far as athletic opportunities, there's no greater place in the SEC right now to have a better chance to impact than ours right now. But I think the No. 3 thing they should consider that really makes you the best at items 1-2, is choose the right environment for you. The reality is, we're probably not going to be the right fit for everybody, and they're probably not going to be the right fit for us. I really believe strongly in getting the right fit for your core values, who you are, and the philosophy to which your program is going to build on
"I think the environment that we are going to create will attract a certain type of kid. That, combined with an athletic opportunity to compete early, be a trendsetter and trailblazer, and help us do something special here...hopefully will attract some of those Georgia kids to come with us."
9 first round picks in two years?
Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide have put together an impressive run. They've rolled out two of the last three national titles, are second only to Stanford in BCS graduation rate, and they have also been able to churn out an impressive number of first round draft picks.
With the NFL draft starting on Thursday, Bama has 5 guys projected by many experts to go in the first round (although we all know the draft never works out quite the way it's projected). If they do end up having five guys go in the first round this season, on top of their 4 picks in the first 28 choices last season, it would mark an impressive run of 9 first round picks in a two year span.
Doing some quick research, we noticed that feat would rank right up there just behind Miami, who had 10 first round picks in a two year span back in 2003-2004 (including Kellen Winslow, Vince Wilfork and Andre Johnson) and just ahead of USC who churned out 7 first rounders in two seasons in 2008-2009 (including Mark Sanchez, Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews).
At a charity event yesterday in Mobile, Saban addressed that possibility, and noted that it's not necessarily where you get drafted that's important, what is important is the opportunity that they have after the draft and being able to take full advantage.
Video: Sports Science with Oklahoma State
Sports Science released a draft special highlighting Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon yesterday, and to see the type of talent that Mike Gundy, and Todd Monken have to work with in Stillwater is nothing short of impressive.
Brandon Weeden showed off his accuracy by taking out some clay pigeons, and Justin Blackmon showed his impressive range by being able to catch anything within the area comparable to the size of a two car garage. Once he got into his rhythm, Weeden took out 4 out of 5 clay pigeons at one point.
Seeing this display of talent, it's easy to see how the Cowboys finished with the #2 passing offense in the nation (387 ypg), #2 scoring offense (49 ppg), #7 in passing efficiency (160.78) and #3 in total offense (546 ypg).

Nexus Wireless Silent Computer Mouse (White) SM-7000W
Home > Quiet Computer Mice > Nexus Wireless Silent Computer Mouse (White) SM-7000W
The Nexus Silent Mouse is also available in white...
Nexus' black silent computer mouse has a rubberised finish and the white version of the Nexus silent computer mouse has a contrary has a glossy finish. So the full top of the white mouse has a sophisticated white gloss and the sides have rubberised material for optimal grip.
This advanced 2.4G wireless optical mouse connects to your PC or laptop with a super small nano receiver and has a 1000/1600 DPI selection button.
Nowadays we are so used to using the PC and we have come acquainted with track pads, multi-touch displays etc. that we no longer need the confirmation of a clicking action. You know when you have clicked or double clicked. You see a graphical reaction of your clicking on the screen and PC's are so fast these days that you practically never have to wait for your PC to respond. So you simply do not need a clicking-sound confirmation of your action... you know when you have clicked or not. So why still hear the clicking sound? Well it turns out that this is part of switching-technology and it is not so easy to remove the physical sound when clicking. We have managed to find a solution. With using some patented switching technology Nexus has created a soundless/noiseless mouse.
Nexus has a lot of customers working in video and music studios that rely on Nexus components for a truly quiet working environment. Nexus have asked some of them to test the Nexus Silent Mouse... and they are delighted. No more clicking-sounds. Just a quiet environment without distracting clicking noises and sounds.
The Nexus Silent Mouse has a comfortable size and is an excellent mouse for desktop use. But also for laptop users it is very suitable. Especially because of the small nano receive which you plug in a USB port and leave it there. It is so small that you do not need to take it out...you just forget its there. Furthermore the mouse is made from quality surface treatments so it feels good in your hand.
The switches we have used for the Silent Mouse have a patented construction and lack the "click" sound when you press them. You will be amazed how much more relaxing it is when you get rid of this useless sound in your working environment.
On top of the mouse is a convenient 1000/1600 DPI selection switch to alter the mouse speed. Fast when you need speed and slow when you need accuracy.

I've decided to try a slightly different angle this year when it comes to winter: I'm going to fully, enthusiastically embrace each phase of the season as it comes.
Rainy but mild? We're donning raincoats and wellies and heading out to splash in puddles. Dark and dreary? Time to haul out the big blanket and cuddle in front of the fire. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Saint Patrick's Day … there will be crafts to make, books to read, events to attend. A snowman will happen, and hot chocolate afterwards. And, of course, recipes to make for every season. Lots and lots of recipes.Read More

Hmm, maybe the picture will explain it better.
The grey valve encloure on the left is not deep enough to fit the radiator valve in a horizontal position.
Since I can't locate a straight radiator valve, my plan is to sweat a cast 90 onto the stub, then a union and the regular valve.
It's a regular gate valve in the pic, and unless someone has a reason not to do that, or a better alternative, that is tomorrow morning's project! Phil

Any word on how the SEC conference office will choose who goes where? Will it be like the Big Ten's tiered system? Or are they going to create a documented ranking/tiebreaker system ahead of time?
It doesn't look as though there will be many surprises when the Southeastern Conference reveals its new bowl lineup. As expected, the league will partner with two new bowls as it branches a hair to the east and an inch to the west. For the most part, the league's roster of bowl will be pretty similar. Here's how things are expected to shake out (in most years) beginning in 2014:
Allstate Sugar Bowl (New Orleans): Will get the highest-ranked SEC team that does not gain an invitation to the College Football Playoff to face off against the highest-ranked Big XII team not making the playoffs.
Discover Orange Bowl (Miami gardens): Will get an occasional SEC squad (as part of a rotation with the Big Ten and Notre Dame) to face a team from the ACC.
Capital One Bowl (Orlando): Will get the first selection from the remaining SEC teams. A Big Ten team will be the foe in most years with an ACC squad serving as a potential fallback.
The SEC office will determine which league teams fill the remaining six bowls.
AutoZone Liberty Bowl (Memphis): Will feature SEC against Big XII
Belk Bowl (Charlotte): Will feature SEC against ACC
Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl (Nashville): Will feature SEC against ACC or Big Ten
Outback Bowl (Tampa): Will feature SEC against Big Ten
Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl (Jacksonville): Will feature SEC against ACC or Big Ten
Texas Bowl (Houston): Will feature SEC against Big XII
At MrSEC.com, our biggest complaint is the SEC's decision to simply remain in its current footprint (with Charlotte — a just off the South Carolina border — being a slight exception). Our next biggest complaint is that the SEC will not see a single Pac-12 team in a bowl game. In our view, the league should have looked at the Pinstripe Bowl (an SEC team in the snow at Yankee Stadium… yes, please) and/or the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas (that's the correct name). SEC fans would likely enjoy a Christmas trip to the Big Apple or Sin City. Alas, the league has taken the predictable path instead.
As for the griping we mentioned in the headline, Mike Slive said earlier this offseason that he an the league office take heat over bowl selections anyway, so they might as well just start deciding who goes where. Makes sense, but the complaints are only to going to grow louder. Over the next six years — that's how long these new bowl contracts will run — imagine how many fanbases will yelp that the league office hates their schools and loves another when their school is assigned to play in a lesser bowl game. If you like conspiracy theories, you're gonna love this new bowl-distribution plan.
Other than that? Yawn. It's business as usual. Staying Down South to play teams from just three conferences, one of which — the ACC — SEC squads see regularly anyway. We see it as a missed opportunity for the Southeastern Conference.

This game will come down to coaching (www.thesportsresume.com/coaches). The team that minimizes mistakes will come out as the victor. I am definitely awaiting the 8pm showdown.
Writer, The Sports Resume www.thesportsresume.com
Brett Beaird
If many SEC fans had their wish, LSU vs. Alabama would play January 9, 2012 in New Orleans, La in the BCS National Championship game instead of November 5 in Tuscaloosa, Al. Many college football experts currently rank LSU 1 and Alabama 1A. The two teams are very similar in philosophy, talent and performance. Let's examine each team's schedule, coaching philosophy and intangibles to see if we can predict a winner.
LSU schedule: One advantage that LSU has is they have the confidence to win on the road. The Tiger defense also has been successful shutting down three of the top offenses in the nation in then No. 3 Oregon (40-27), then No. 24 Mississippi State (19-6) and then No. 16 West Virginia (47-21). Tiger cornerbacks Morris Claiborne and Tyrann Mathieu just simply know how to make plays at key times in the game. Claiborne also had the kickoff return for a touchdown that turned the game for LSU. Mountaineer quarterback Geno Smith threw for a lot of yards (463), but his passes were primary short underneath coverage completions. Tiger defensive coordinator John Chavis kept the vaunted West Virginia passing game in front of them without giving up explosive scoring plays.
Alabama schedule: The three teams that highlight Alabama's top wins this season are Penn State (27-11), Arkansas (38-14) and believe it or not Vanderbilt (34-0). Many experts believe Arkansas was the Tide's toughest game. The Tide secondary shut down Arkansas's prolific offensive attack by hammering the Razorbacks talented wide receivers and providing key run-support. Penn State currently ranked No. 16 in the BCS has one of the worst offenses in the nation. However, the Nittany Lions finally settled on quarterback Matt McGloin who drove PSU 80-yards to beat Illinois 10-7 in the final one minute to get Joe Paterno's 409th career win. No matter how much the Razorbacks struggled to beat Ole Miss 29-14 and to hang on and beat the Commodores 31-28, Arkansas is ranked No. 7 in the this weeks BSC standings. Commodore coach James Franklin has sent out a strong message to the league this year, our team will fight and scratch for 60 minutes now because we can compete at the line-of-scrimmage. Vanderbilt lost to Georgia (33-28) and Arkansas, but outplayed both teams.
Miles does not allow distractions to effect LSU: There is not a better coach in the nation in handling off-the-field distractions than Les Miles. Earlier this year, Miles' sister, Ann Hope Browne was killed in a car accident. But players and assistant coaches did not sense any self-pity from their coach. Miles has a unique ability to separate a major tragedy to minor distractions, and focus on the task-at-hand. This game will provide another test of his ability to deflect the massive media hype buildup. Besides the personal loss of his sister, when offensive coordinator Steve Kragthorpe was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, LSU seamlessly promoted offensive line coach Greg Studrawa to play calling. When a significant number of players were involved in a bar fight, including starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson, Miles termed the incident a "team violation," and LSU opened the season by whipping Oregon 40-27. Most recently, LSU suspended three top players, including leading rusher Spencer Ware and defensive backs Tyrann Mathieu and Tharold Simon. LSU did not miss a beat by hammering the Tigers Auburn 45-10, the worst defeat a defending national champion suffered since 1983.
Miles may not be an eloquent speaker, throws caution to the wind occasionally with strange game-day strategy and sometimes his erratic behavior attracts a lot of media attention. While some of his antics may be a ploy, Miles is quietly shielding the team from outside distractions.
Nick Saban's process: The 2011 version of the Crimson Tide has been molded to perfectly match Nick Saban's personality. This team is a combination of five years of top-five recruiting, mental edge conditioning by Dr. Kevin Elko and the Pacific Institute and five years of being indoctrinated into "the process". Strength and conditioning coach Scott Cochran has helped morph this team into one of the biggest, fastest most agile teams in SEC history. Saban is a firm believer in controlling the line of scrimmage. In today's high octane offensive era, he prefers to run the pro-set formation with a dominating run game lead by Heisman Trophy candidate Trent Richardson and Eddie Lacy. First-year starting quarterback AJ McCarron manages the game, uses play-action passing and has ball-security as one of his primary goals. Saban's defense is led by two 265-pound linebackers Courtney Upshaw and Dont 'a Hightower who come off the edge with unrelenting ferocity.
LSU and Alabama do not beat themselves and force turnovers:. The Crimson Tide ranks second nationally in fewest penalties, being flagged an average of just 3.38 times per game. The Tide also ranks third in fewest penalty yards in the country, averaging 29.50 per contest. Alabama leads the SEC in fewest penalties per game and ranks second behind Kentucky in penalty yards per game (27.86).
LSU ranks second in the nation in turnover margin (plus-1.88). The Tigers have intercepted 11 passes and recovered seven fumbles. Mathieu has two interceptions, four forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
Both Alabama and LSU are very balanced on offense. The Tigers average 189 rushing yards and 183 yards passing. The Crimson Tide offense comes in averaging an amazing 229 yards rushing and 228 yards passing per game.
Who wins: The November 5 "clash of the titans" will be fueled by a raucous home crowd motivated by a team that supported many of their citizens in the darkest hours after the April 27 tornadoes. However, putting emotions aside, blocking and tackling still win football games. One of Saban's foundations of "the process" is mental toughness and discipline. Ten years have passed since Saban lost in consecutive years to the same coach in college. Ever since Steve Spurrier pounded Saban's LSU teams 41-9 in 2000 and 44-15 in 2001, Saban has won 12 straight rematch games.
The difference in the outcome of the Alabama/LSU game will be two or three plays made by the more disciplined team. Alabama will make one or two more plays at key times in the game and win 24-16.

- Getting even is one great reason for writing. The precise statement of the motive is tricky, but the clearest expression of my unwholesome nature and my mean motives (apart from trying to write well) appears in a line I like in "In the Heart of the Heart of the Country." The character says, "I want to rise so high that when I shit I won't miss anybody." But maybe I say it's a motive because I like the line. Anyway, my work proceeds almost always from a sense of aggression. And usually I am in my best working mood when I am, on the page, very combative, very hostile. That's true even when I write to praise, as is often the case.

New York Giants @ TAMPA BAY
Line: TAMPA BAY favored by 3
O/U: 39.5 points
NYGIANTS #7 ranked DEF( 8th run, 11th pass) #16 ranked OFF (4th rush, 21st pass)
TAMPA BAY #2 ranked DEF( 17th run, 1st pass) #18 ranked OFF (11th rush, 16th pass)
Where do I begin with this matchup. Hmmm..let's start by saying these 2 teams took different paths in the last two games of the season whereby the Giants played their starters in week 16 to clinch the wild card berth. Despite attaining the feat, a much needed rest wasn't in the cards as Coughlin had them on the field again in week 17 in hopes of derailing the Patriots' unblemished season. In contrast, John Gruden has given his key starters sufficient time to rest from the latter half of week 16 on until the end of the regular season. That will tremendously favor Tampa Bay as Gruden is set on entering playoffs with a completely healthy squad. They are primed to have success against a Giants team that has to be a little weary not to mention banged up in key spots. Coughlin's decision to keep his starters playing in the last game will eventually come back to haunt him, as I believe they won't have enough left in their tanks to endure such a physical hard-nosed battle. With the Bucs coming healthy and rested, they should control the tempo of the game on both ends. With the league's second ranked defense staring at him on the eye, Eli Manning's probability of success throwing the ball is very marginal. If they are to sustain long successful drives, Brandon Jacobs would have to be effective on the ground. If he does not find success scampering early in the game, Coughlin would find his team in trouble. They cannot resort to Eli's arm to open up the passing game because not only is he facing the number 1 pass defense in the league, but db's like Barber and Kelly are masters of picking off the ball. Gruden's number one pass D should be up to the task of neutralizing Plaxico and Toomer, leaving it up to their front seven on limiting the resilient Jacobs to minimal gains.
On Tampa's side of the ball, Garcia's craftiness and experience should come in handy against a Giants D that has consistently created chaos for opposing QB's. This is where Garcia's elusiveness can come into play, as he has the ability to avoid trouble by stepping out of the pocket and sprint downfield for the necessary yards. But having a stout RB in Graham, along with veteran wideouts Galloway and Hilliard at his arsenal..Garcia should be able to utilize his weapons for the most part. Although they may not be juggernauts, I really like Garcia's competitive quality which he has shown time and again during his tenure in the league. Leading teams such as Philadelphia and San Francisco to playoff victories, I can't see why he couldn't do it again with Tampa Bay. I look for this game to be close throughout with no lead bigger than that of a touchdown. In the late going, I look for Garcia to march his squad towards a game winning FG courtesy of Matt Bryant. TAMPA BAY 26 NY Giants 24
Tennessee @ SAN DIEGO
Line: SAN DIEGO favored by 9
O/U: 40 points
Tennessee : 5th rank DEF ( #5 run, #10 pass) 21st rank OFF (5th rush, 27th pass)
San Diego: 14th rank DEF (#16 run, #4 pass) 20th rank OFF ( 7th rush, 26th pass)
I have to congragulate Jeff Fisher for getting his team into the playoffs. II thought it would take a miracle for get in after their 3 game losing streak in November. But now comes the tremendous task of challenging the high powered Chargers for a chance to advance to the divisional playoffs. With the status of Vince Young yet to be determined, and the loss of Roydell Williams to an ankle injury does not bode well for the Titans come Sunday. This is certainly a big dent to their already debilitated pasing game that hasn't been much of a threat for much of the season. Fisher's "bump and grind" style of offense whereby his dedication of utilizing the running game to dictate his style of tempo has really served him well to say the least. LenDale White, Chris brown, and Chris Henry provides a lot of depth for Fisher who would love nothing more than a successful game on the ground to whereby he can grind out the clock with a lead. It's boring but yet effective. The problem I see in this game is that I believe San Diego will come out firing with a balance attack of LT and the passing fancy of Rivers. I expect the Chargers to build a comfortable lead, though not insurmountable, early forcing Fisher to take drastic measures and abandon the time consuming ground attack. If the Titans find themselves playing from behind, they must rely upon the arm of Vince Young or Kerry Collins. That's a tall order knowing there are guys like Cromartie and Florence out there to negate any deep threat. Haynesworth and company are 5th against the run, but that won't stop LT from getting his share of touches towards doing what he does best. They might be able to contain him at times, but like the energizer bunny, he will just keep coming relentlessly and before you know, he has burned you for a long scamper. I admire the Titans because they always play hard, honest football and they are a team that will always welcome a challenge. They played the Chargers well in week 14, but couldn't hold the lead and ended up losing in overtime courtesy of LT. Botttom Line: I believe the Chargers are playing better this time around, and they want to make amends for their fans regarding the disappointing end of their playoff run last season at the hands of the Patriots. They are at home, they have the momentum, and their defense is getting healthy. Look for LT to have a stellar performance, while reality sets in for Fisher's club.
SAN DIEGO 30 Tennessee 22

There are a number of things around your house that can be
deadly to your cats and dogs, some you may know, and some may be
surprising. Some are even in your kitchen cabinets and
refrigerator. Dr. Dorothy Black, clinical assistant professor at
the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine and
Biomedical Sciences (CVM), shares some enlightening information
about common food items that may be toxic to your pet.
According to Dr. Black, the following foods can be particularly
dangerous to cats and dogs. "These foods may not necessarily cause
toxic reactions in every case of ingestion, but it's just a good
'rule of thumb' to keep these items off your kitchen counters and
under no circumstances feed these foods to your pet," Black
Grapes and raisins possess an unknown toxic substance that can
lead to renal failure by an unknown mechanism. Toxic doses have
been reported after ingesting just one to two grapes or raisins.
Not all animals suffer kidney failure after grape/raisin ingestion
and it appears to be an idiosyncratic reaction. Nevertheless, it is
best to avoid this food for your dogs and cats. There is no
known antidote, only supportive care and renal dialysis to support
kidney recovery.
"Grapes can be particularly tricky for dogs, because many
actually like to eat grapes, so you have to be especially aware,"
Black said. "Our pets are amazing creatures, but they can really
get into dangerous situations with human food very quickly."
Chocolate is commonly known to be bad for pets. It contains two
ingredients known to be toxic to dogs and cats, caffeine and
theobromine. Dark chocolate is particularly harmful because
it has a higher concentration of toxic metabolites than milk or
white chocolate. Clinical signs of distress seen after
chocolate ingestion include: anxiety/anxiousness, hyperactivity,
urination, elevated body temperature, seizures, and irregular heart
rhythms. There is no antidote, but supportive care is usually
successful for recovery.
Xylitol is a common sugar substitute now used in many home
kitchens. It is associated with a severe decline in blood sugar
levels and liver failure if ingested by pets. The exact
mechanism of the toxicity is unknown and there is no
antidote. Supportive care is typically successful for
treatment of hypoglycemia, however, liver failure may still occur
and prognosis is guarded.
"It is important to remember that if you cook or use xylitol in
your foods, that those foods should not be fed to pets," Black
said. "It is still toxic if used in cooking or baking."
Onions, garlic, and chives are also toxic to pets. They contain
the toxin allicin, which is released upon crushing or chewing the
plant. Allicin damages the hemoglobin in red blood cells
leading to anemia (such as Heinz body anemia and
methemoglobinemia). Cats are especially susceptible to this
toxin. There is no antidote, however, supportive care is
typically successful.
While cats are particularly affected by onions and garlic, dogs
are especially susceptible to macadamia nut toxicity. An unknown
toxin in the nut leads to difficulty walking, high body
temperatures, depression, and vomiting within one to two hours
after ingestion. While no deaths have been reported to date,
supportive care in the hospital is often required.
"Supportive care, which is the usual treatment for food
toxicity, often works to recover pets who ingest these foods,"
Black said. "But these supportive treatments to get pets back on
their feet are often very costly for the owner, and difficult for
the patient. In cases that require dialysis, pets have a difficult
road to recovery."
The foods mentioned here should be kept off countertops and out
of reach of pets, and under no circumstances fed to dogs and cats.
Preventing your pet from ingesting these items is the best way to
keep them safe. But if they do ingest these foods, Dr. Black
recommends contacting your veterinarian immediately.

Records Management
Records Management is the field of management responsible for the efficient and systematic control of the creation, receipt, maintenance, use, and disposition of records. The Emerson College Archives provides records management assistance to all departments and offices on campus by consulting on how to efficiently manage institutional records.
Creating and processing records is a fundamental part of fulfilling Emerson College's mission and a normal part of daily work. Records are either created routinely as the by-products of transactions or deliberately created by College employees once the business activities are completed. Work processes that involve the creation/receipt and transmission of documents characteristically result in records as evidence of those processes.
Records are also created by employees and their departments and units to document what was decided or done. They are a means of providing evidence of institutional activity or of remembering events and transactions that have occurred. In addition, there are many legal and regulatory reasons to keep records.
Over time, each College department or office will have a records retention and disposition schedule that will assist them in deciding how to maintain records, how long to keep them and how to dispose of them properly. By following the retention schedule and College practices for recordkeeping, departments and offices will ensure that their records are retrievable, reliable, and secure for as long as they are needed. Well-managed records are an asset and a resource to the College; unmanaged records are a liability.
All departments and employees must maintain their paper, film and electronic records in safe, stable, and secure environments that support their timely and accurate retrieval with appropriate controls on their use and accessibility.

State Farm boosting home insurance rates starting next week
BY FRANCINE KNOWLES firstname.lastname@example.com November 9, 2012 6:22PM
Updated: December 11, 2012 6:07AM
In what's become a yearly unwelcome ritual for homeowners, State Farm Insurance Co., is boosting insurance rates an average 4.7 percent starting Nov. 15 on new policies and starting Jan. 1 next year on renewals.
"We've seen an increase in the frequency of weather-related claims," State Farm spokeswoman Missy Dundov said in explaining the premium hike by the state's largest insurer.
Another factor has been an increase in the cost of settling liability claims, Dundov added.
The Bloomington-based company could not provide a figure on the dollar impact for the average customer.
State Farm, which insures one in every three homes in Illinois, raised homeowners' rates an average of 6.7 percent last year. That followed average increases of 5.3 percent in 2010, 13 percent in 2009 and 2.6 percent in 2008.
To reduce costs, customers are encouraged to talk with their agents and consider raising deductibles and taking advantage of discounts for which they may be eligible.

According to an FEG press release, former Korean ssirum grand champion Hong Man Choi will be making his third foray into the world of mixed martial arts as he takes on the slumping Mirko Filipovic at K-1 Dynamite.
Choi, 1-1, has had a fairly tough road in MMA facing off against Fedor Emelianenko in only his second MMA bout, and in his third will face off against former top-ten heavyweight Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic.
Filipovic has had an up-and-down career in recent years and is coming off a disappointing no contest against Allistair Overeem. In a fight Filipovic was clearly losing, the politician/fighter was struck in the groin by an errant knee and could not /would not continue to earn a no contest. Many believe he used the groin strike as a way to get out of losing the bout and while no one will ever know for sure, his reputation has taken a beating.
In fact a rematch was offered to him, and despite The Demolition Man reportedly signing the deal, Filipovic reportedly scuttled the potential match-up and will instead face Choi in Japans biggest fight night of the year.
"Mirko seems to be in a slump recently," said Choi, "and I have no problem fighting with him on the ground."
If he follows the same game plan that Overeem did against the former Pride champion he may find success against an opponent that will have a 1 foot height disadvantage and 125lb weight disadvantage.
The event will take place on New Years Eve at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.

text: A roguishly cynical C.I.A. agent (Denzel Washington) and the earnest young operative (Ryan Reynolds) who tries to reel him in run through the streets of Cape Town, across rooftops in a shabby township, down narrow corridors, and through a crowd at a giant stadium. As they thrash their way through South Africa, the Swedish-born director Daniel Espinosa and the cinematographer Oliver Wood (who shot the "Bourne" franchise) play the most fashionable new game in action filmmaking: they use a handheld camera, jittery as a water bug, which captures tiny, whirring fragments of action; the editor, Richard Pearson, then tries to stitch the fragments together. The violence, which is pretty constant and almost always ferocious, bashes and then resets your attention (you certainly can't look away), so you have the feeling that you've seen something, though there's very little shot-to-shot continuity. Yet, in its exhausting way, the movie is enjoyable. The settings are fresh, and the vicious impersonality of the technique gives way, now and then, to quieter moments when Washington's old pro murmurs advice to Reynolds's anxious young agent.

Magnezone certainly has the stats of a top contender, the highlight of which is its massive Special Attack stat which caps out at a whopping 200. Its Steel / Electric typing makes it mortally weak to Earthquake and to a lesser extent Heat Wave, though Sturdy somewhat makes up for this. In light of this, you might ask yourself why Magnezone isn't used that often. The answer is simple: its movepool is woefully shallow. In fact, the extent of its coverage is its STAB and choice of Hidden Power, making Magnezone horribly predictable. It also faces competition from Eelektross, for a slow Electric-type due to the eel's expansive movepool and a complete lack of weaknesses. However, Magnezone has the sheer power and bulk to make up for this, and is able to fulfill a very interesting niche as a reliable Gravity user.
Since offensive coverage isn't Magnezone's strong suit, a slightly supportive set comes naturally to it. Magnezone is a reliable paralysis spreader with Thunder Wave, and is just fast enough to make good use of it itself. If you're not using Thunder Wave, Signal Beam is a suitable replacement, as it hits Psychic- and Grass-types harder than Magnezone's other moves. Thunderbolt is Magnezone's go-to Electric-type move, though with proper teammates, Discharge and Thunder are viable as well. Hidden Power Ice has good coverage with Magnezone's Electric-type STAB, and Hidden Power Ground hits Fire-types and opposing Electric-types. Protect is a given for the last slot, especially when using an Earthquake user alongside Magnezone. Item-wise, Electric Gem provides the necessary power for Thunderbolt to OHKO specially defensive Togekiss, whereas Sitrus Berry heals Magnezone enough to let it take a few more neutral hits.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Magnezone's movepool is comparable to a desert wasteland beyond the main options, but never fear, desert-dwellers! There are a few oases in Magnezone's movepool. Mirror Coat combined with Sturdy makes for a potent combination, but requires acute prediction and the right situation to be useful. Metal Sound is viable since switching is ill-advised most of the time, though the 85% accuracy really hurts its viability. Tri-Attack and Flash Cannon are basically the only other special moves Magnezone has, but they have decent neutral coverage. Flash Cannon still hits Ice- and Rock-types harder than Magnezone's other moves, most notably Abomasnow and Tyranitar. Magnezone can also set up Rain Dance, though it is outclassed by Politoed or Kingdra in doing so. Zap Cannon is best used in tandem with Gravity, a horseshoe and a four leaved clover because of its shaky accuracy even in Gravity, though the guaranteed paralysis is enough to consider it. Due to Sturdy, Magnezone can viably use multiple items such as Red Card and Leftovers. Red Card ejects Earthquake users as well as anything else that attacks Magnezone, and Leftovers protects the integrity of Sturdy from weak hits such as Fake Out and Rock Slide. If you're afraid of getting walled by Ferrothorn or Shedinja, Hidden Power Fire beats them both handily, though doesn't cover much besides them. Discharge, while not as effective as Zapdos's or Eelektross's Discharge because of their Ground immunities, can still prove effective as Magnezone's only spread move.
Checks and Counters
If you want to counter Magnezone, simply look over your team and see if you have a Ground-type. If you don't have a Ground-type, simply equip one of your Pokemon with Earthquake. Magnezone can live through at least one Earthquake, however, so make sure you can handle a powerful Thunderbolt or Hidden Power Ice should Sturdy activate. Mamoswine is a fine example of a strong, Earthquake-wielding Ground-type, that can also hit through Sturdy if a hailstorm is in effect, courtesy of its comrade Abomasnow. Pokemon with Mold Breaker, such as Haxorus, can use Earthquake without fear of Sturdy thanks to its effect. Faster Fire-types can roast Magnezone alive, though again, Sturdy allows Magnezone to live through one Flamethrower, provided it does not get burned. Infernape is able to use Fake Out to "break" Sturdy and proceed to melt Magnezone with its choice of STAB Fire move or Close Combat. Under the effects of Trick Room, Magnezone becomes a little more troublesome. Hitmontop has a respectable Special Defense stat, as well as Mach Punch, though it won't enjoy too many Thunderbolts. Slower Earthquake users come in handy here, though if you don't have a slow Earthquake user, you'll either have to try to stall out Trick Room or hope Magnezone doesn't KO your Earthquake user before you can use Earthquake.
Outside of its obvious weaknesses, Shedinja and Ferrothorn make excellent Magnezone checks, provided Magnezone isn't using Hidden Power Fire. Shedinja walls each and every common Magnezone attack thanks to Wonder Guard, and actually appreciates Thunder Wave since it cannot be put to sleep or poisoned while it's paralyzed. Ferrothorn can get hit by Magnezone's attacks, even though they'll be fairly weak. However, Ferrothorn can't do much to Magnezone in return, outside of Leech Seed or the uncommon Bulldoze.

What Are You Most Thankful For?

posted May 25 2011 6:40AM
Everyday presents not just another moment of life but the challenges that always seem to go right along with it! But in this blog I just take a moment to reflect on the people who have made each and everyday possible...first and foremost I will ALWAYS give thanks to my God, whom of course without Him there would be NO me!!! Family- way too many to mention :-) but they know who they are and that I love each and every one of them very much....my 'extended' family known as radio, and that means YOU 97.1 QMG listeners...just thank you for the love and support you have shown and continue to show...especially in my ten years with this station. QMG has survived and thrived because of loyal listeners like yourselves, or if you're a 'newbie', you are definitely family to me as well! No doubt you have many reasons to be thankful in your everyday lives, as I once again 'thank you' for letting me share that life isn't always going to be easy or care-free, but thankful that I have an opportunity to (try) live life to its fullest!!!
