Poll date insult? (02:10)
There are precedents for Julia Gillard's setting the election date many months beforehand, but she still might upset some sticklers for protocol. 31/01/13

- Chill, says PM. It's not about me and it's not about Rudd
- There goes the element of surprise, and a few more political truisms
- Gillard's long shot on poll

What causes gastroparesis?
Comment on this Read 5 Comments
Gastroparesis can be caused either by diseases of the stomach's muscles or the nerves that control the muscles, though often no specific cause is identified. The most common disease causing gastroparesis is diabetes mellitus, which damages the nerves controlling the stomach muscles.
Gastroparesis also can result from damage to the vagus nerve, the nerve that controls the stomach's muscles, that occurs during surgery on the esophagus and stomach. Scleroderma is an example of a disease in which gastroparesis is due to damage to the stomach's muscles. Occasionally, gastroparesis is caused by nervous reflexes, for example, when the pancreas is inflamed (pancreatitis). In such cases, neither the nerves nor the muscles are diseased, but messages are sent through nerves from the pancreas to the stomach which prevents the muscles from working normally.
Other causes of gastroparesis include imbalances of minerals in the blood such as potassium, calcium or magnesium, medications (such as narcotic pain-relievers), and thyroid disease. For a substantial number of patients no cause can be found for the gastroparesis, a condition termed idiopathic gastroparesis. Indeed, idiopathic gastroparesis is the second most frequent cause of gastroparesis after diabetes.
Gastroparesis can occur as an isolated problem or it can be associated with weakness of the muscles of other parts of the intestine, including the small intestine, colon and esophagus.

1967 Chevy Camaro Standard Motor Mount Set, Small Block, 302, 350, & 396, Solid Steel, Moroso
- Reduce Excessive Engine Movement
- Eliminates Torque Loss & Binding Linkage
- No Need For Torque Straps Or Chains
- Gold Zinc Plating
- Includes Mounting Bracket
- Fits 302, 350 & 396 Small Block Engines
- Fits 1967-1968 1st Gen Camaros
The motor mounts in your 1967 or 1968 first generation Camaro will need to be replaced after approximately every 50,000 miles, or if they become soaked from fluids like oil several times. From excessive use and abuse, the mounts get weak and will not secure your engine properly. The rubber from the original mounts can degrade and split, eventually leading to failure. Also, when accelerating or decelerating, if you feel or hear a loud noise from under your car, you should check for signs of fan to shroud contact on your radiator core or fan shroud. If you indeed have this fan impact, you can be sure that your motor mount is broken. The motor mounts on your Chevy Camaro are crucial for reducing vibration and extending the life of your engine and its components. If your mounts break or grow weak, it can be dangerous since this can allow the engine to shift, possibly sticking the accelerator in a full throttle position or causing the engine to push the fan into the radiator or fan shroud. Rick's Camaros is happy to offer this new set of solid steel motor mounts for your F-Body's engine. This pair of steel block motor mounts will fit both the driver's and passenger's side, has steel bushing material, and includes a zinc plated mounting bracket for easy installation. This will help to reduce any wheel hop or traction loss. Don't wait to stay safe and comfortable in your Chevrolet. From racers, show cars, hot rods, and daily drivers, you can trust Rick's Camaros for all of your restoration and replacement needs for your 1967 or 1968 1st gen Camaro!

Group sets up fund for girl kept in closet
After a public outcry, monetary donations, gifts and cards can be sent to 10-year-old LP.By LAURA BAUER
The Kansas City Star
For more than three weeks, people across the metropolitan area and the country have asked how they could help the 10-year-old girl who was rescued from a closet.
Now theres a way.
The Local Investment Commission said Tuesday that it has organized a fund where people can send monetary donations. People also now have a place to mail care packages and birthday cards for the girl, known in court records as LP. She turns 11 on Aug. 1.
LINC officials said they would make sure all donations get to the girl, who weighed just 32 pounds and had scars of abuse across her body when authorities found her in a dark and tiny closet on June 22.
When these things happen, theres a public outcry to want to help, to assist, said Gayle Hobbs, president of LINC, a nonprofit agency. Our role is to help meet the community needs.
People have written and called, saying they feel a need to comfort the girl, give her toys and kind words, things it appears she hasnt gotten enough of for many years.
My oldest daughter just turned 11 in July, so it really hit home on all of the things in life she has missed so far. Its very sad, one woman wrote this week.
One family has wanted to buy her an American Girl doll. Others want to make sure she has things like crayons and coloring books, paper and stickers.
Anything we get, well get to her, said Brent Schondelmeyer, communications director at LINC.
Others have inquired about her health and have offered to provide foster care for her or even a more permanent home. One woman wrote: Id like to help LP even to the extent of raising her and caring for her and loving her and adopting her.
The girls mother, Jacole Prince, has been charged with felony counts of assault, child abuse and child endangerment. She has pleaded not guilty.
Prince was arrested after authorities responded to a hotline call June 22. A man police said is Princes boyfriend, Marcus Benson father of her two younger daughters, but not LP has also been charged with two counts of child endangerment. As of Tuesday evening, he wasnt in police custody.
LP told authorities that her mother locked her in an upstairs closet in the familys apartment in the 1300 block of Highland Avenue for long periods of time. She said she slept in the closet and was often not allowed out to go to the bathroom.
When police found the girl, the closet was soaked in urine and feces, with no light or toys, according to court records.
LP also told authorities she didnt get to eat every day.
Records show that Prince admitted in early 2006 that she intentionally withheld food from LP so she wouldnt go to the bathroom too often. The state took custody of LP and a younger sister in February 2006. About 13 months later, after Prince reportedly worked through a checklist of requirements set by the state, she got her two daughters back.
A month later, LP stopped going to school and disappeared from sight. Neighbors of Prince have said they didnt even know that LP lived in the apartment, although they had often seen Prince with her two other daughters, ages 2 and 8.
All three girls are in the custody of the Missouri Department of Social Services. Bensons sister, Shelia Simpson, said last week that her brother has had one supervised visit with his two daughters since they were taken into custody. That visit came before charges were filed against him.
It isnt known if the three sisters will be reunited in foster care.
At this point, the goal for many in the community is to make sure that LP knows that people are thinking of her.
There are a lot of people in Kansas City that really care, Hobbs said. Weve seen this before; people will organize to try to help.

The Commissioner introduces the new Hall of Fame inductees, and reads their plaques, which will be hung in the Hall. Selig did this Sunday in the case of Dennis Eckersley and Paul Molitor.
Molitor's induction was a particular joy for the Commissioner because Molitor played 15 years for the Milwaukee Brewers, at a time when Selig was the president of that club. Molitor, during his induction speech, had thanked Selig for his leadership and his friendship during those years.
"It was very emotional," the Commissioner said after the ceremonies. "I thought both Eckersley and Molitor did brilliantly, and spoke from the heart with great emotion.
"And it was emotional for me, too. It's very unusual. This is a situation in which the second player (the first was Robin Yount) who played for me for such a long time goes into the Hall of Fame.
"It was just a wonderful afternoon. It's another tribute to and celebration of our sport."

When guests ask Frank why he chose to be an innkeeper, the usual response is INN-sanity! But by that he means he want to provide a very special place where guests can relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings that help ground us in a sometimes too busy and chaotic world ~ to remember to 'stop and smell the flowers' before life hurries on.
The journey to innkeeping began over a decade ago when he and his wife learned about the sale of a long-closed inn in the small village in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom where our family has a summer cottage. Although they did not buy that inn, the dream began to evolve, and they spent the next several years seeking and learning. Frank shifted his focus from his former positions in civil engineering and in food production to studying hotel and restaurant management while his wife continued her teaching and administrative career on campus at Kansas State University. A journey that included a winter inn-ternship and summer spent as resident innkeepers at an inn in Vermont finally brought them to the special village of Jackson and the Inn at Ellis River in 2004, where they have been fulfilling a dream ever since. Christine Baumann has been assisting them with innkeeping since 2006, and Peter and Tamara Lique Natove joined the innkeeping staff in 2013. Frank and the staff focus on creating the hospitality for which the inn is known, while Frank's wife continues in her role as a professor at Kansas State, teaching via the web in a multi-university graduate program in gerontology.
Ten years later, creating a special place for our guests to enjoy remains our greatest goal.

Under Chris Brown's watchful eye, there's a lot to learn about life's evolution by closely studying female scorpions giving birth. Brown, a TTU assistant professor of biology, has been named TTU's 2004 Sigma Xi research award winner for his paper, "Offspring Size-Number Trade-Offs in Scorpions: An Empirical Test of the Van Noordwijk and De Jong Model," published in a 2003 issue of Evolution, the international journal of organic evolution.
"The model, which is almost 20 years old, has rarely been tested, but proposes an interesting look at trade-offs in the life history of organisms," said Brown. "I decided to use research on scorpions to test the model."
In theory, trade-offs are expected at a fundamental level because an organism's resources, or energy, cannot be two places at the same time. For instance, it would be expected that if a female scorpion gives birth to a large number of offspring, those offspring would be smaller than those of a scorpion that gave birth to a small number.
Size is the expected trade-off for an increased number, according to basic theory.
But Norrdwijk and De Jong presented a model to explain why trade-offs might not be found. The model points out two ways in which individuals differ. Some individual organisms have more resources than others and allocate their resources differently to reproduction instead of growth and survival.
"As an analogy, think of the people who can afford large homes and expensive cars," said Brown. "Those same people usually have more resources than the average person and allocate a larger percentage to buying more cars or homes than the average person.
To test the model, Brown collected data on 10 species of scorpions from Texas and Arizona. Scorpions give birth to live young that are carried on the female's back for a period of time, so Brown measured and weighed those offspring and analyzed the resource investment the females made to the size and number of litters.
"My research is consistent with the model in showing that large female scorpions can produce both a large number of offspring that are big in size because she has more energy to invest in reproduction because of her size," said Brown.
These results suggest that scientific knowledge of variation in an individual organism's ability to acquire resources and allocate them is critical to a full understanding of all life histories.
Brown also published an article, "Clutch Size and Offspring Size in the Wolf Spider Pirata Sedentarius," in a 2003 issue of The Journal of Arachnology. He's conducted several studies on wolf spiders, commonly found in yards and open areas in Tennessee. These spiders do not spin webs and hunt for food on the ground.
In 2004, he was awarded a TTU faculty research grant to study the effect of leg autonomy, the loss of one or more legs, on wolf spiders running on water or land.
"Because speed equals survival for these and many other species, I've studied the running speed in spiders and am continuing to study how that relates to survival," said Brown.
Brown earned his doctorate in quantitative biology as well as a master's degree in biology from the University of Texas at Arlington and his bachelor's degree in physics/astronomy at Texas Christian University. He joined TTU's biology department in Fall 2002.
Sigma Xi is an international scientific research society. Each year, the Tennessee Tech chapter recognizes excellent scientific research by one faculty member for a research paper published or accepted for publication.

NewsHonorary Degree Citation
Richard Lewontin
Harvard University Alexander Agassiz
Professor of Zoology, emeritus
For more than 30 years your official title has been the Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology at Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology. But that title—long as it is—does little to describe your contribution to science, culture and public policy.
You began your work in the early 1950s, and in the following five decades you revolutionized population genetics and pioneered the field of molecular evolution. The brilliance of your work was recognized early and often, with multiple fellowships from the National Science Foundation, Columbia University and the Fulbright Program. But pure science has never been enough for you; as you have said, "I have to do political things."
The 1960s and '70s offered you ample opportunity to do political things. As an evolutionary geneticist during our nation's struggle with racism and sexism, you were painfully aware that some were twisting genetics and evolution into a pseudoscience to be used as a weapon to hold down women and people of color.
You wouldn't stand for it.
You helped found Science for the People, a group of scientists and students active against the use of pseudoscience to rationalize bigotry. You enlightened many, angered some and helped keep science honest and relevant. You remain ever vigilant for pseudoscience, and continue to debunk overreaching scientific claims in your many books and essays.
It is difficult to describe your contributions to science and culture without appearing to resort to hyperbole. So I will use the words of others.
Your teacher, the geneticist and evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky, wrote of you, "If I would not do anything else but to produce Dick Lewontin, I think my earthly existence would be justified."
Stephen Jay Gould, a longtime friend and colleague, called you "simply the smartest man I have ever met."
You have been called "brilliant" and "pernicious," you have been compared to Marx and St. Augustine, you have made many friends and a few enemies. You have moved science forward in ways that will be valued for generations to come. And you have pricked our conscience, a gadfly reminding us that we must forever question science, question the motives of others, question ourselves.
And through all this you have been the good neighbor down the road. You serve on Marlboro's Volunteer Fire Department and in the Marlboro Historical Society, and are a trustee of the Marlboro Music School and Festival. You have been a valued friend of Marlboro College, teaching here gratis, serving as an outside examiner and welcoming Marlboro students to your Harvard lab.
We have much to thank you for, Dick Lewontin, and it is our pleasure to confer upon you the degree
Doctor of Humane Letters, Honorary.

Yamaha Reveals Two New Network Optimised Receivers
By Tony Ibrahim | Tuesday | 02/08/2011
Yahamaha have released two additional network capable receivers to their range, the RX-V771 and the RX-V871.
The RX-V771 is the first offering 7.2 channels and is the first in the '71 series to do so.
The '71's new sibling is the RX-V871 which delivers powerful connectivity through a network receiver, two additional HDMI inputs, 8 in/2 out HDMI with 3D and ARC compatibility, and will also manage the simultaneous connection of home AV components.
Each receiver has an easily accessible HDMI receiver on the front panel, with another on the back, facilitating two simultaneous displays if need be. This makes it easier to alternate from one device (such as a TV) to another (like a projector), without having to intricate yourself in rear cabling.
The two new receivers are compatible with YAMAHA's iOS controller app, and can connect to your home network to access music remotely, from a PC, Mac or Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. Managing playback music is easy with familiar control gestures aiding music navigation.
Each receiver offers what Yamaha calls 'Zone 2' function. At the press of a button, Zone 2 allows for music to be played in different parts of the home, with users being able to manage volume independently, from one room to the next.
Another interesting feature is Yamaha's Parametric Acoustic Optimiser (YPAO) technology, which monitors up to eight different points in a room and analyses their acoustic qualities. Through acoustic analysis it will produce sound optimised for larger audiences, taking into consideration room size and shape.
The RX-V771 has a RRP of $1,299, with its RX-V781 sibling retailing for $1,499.
Alternatively the RX-V771 can be purchased as part of the 7.2 YHT-1096AU home theatre package for $3,999.

Best exfoliating cleanser I have used to date! Leaves skin feeling clean and smooth, with very little drying effect. I would recommend to others. Great Product.
I was actually really impressed with this kit because it gave a complete package of everything I needed! I hadn't previously used any products from this brand before and the scents are sooo good! I travel a lot and the size was perfect. Started with my face, washed my hair, cleaned my body, shaved after the shower and topped my hair with the gel. I already bought a full size of the shampoo for my apartment, just saying.
I received the sample size of the peppermint oil from this company. I don't have much need for this and haven't used it as much if I didn't have a beard. With the beard I don't find much use for it but it feels nice. I'm sure if I shaved it would be great. No complaints.
Works very well. I would for sure purchase this product again in the future. No complaints about it or any reasons to complain.

Benefits and Considerations (Consolidated)
Benefits of the Consolidated Schedule over single Schedules
The Consolidated Schedule offers one comprehensive tool, for an agency to use, for a task requiring the expertise of more than one service Schedule. Management of the Consolidated Schedule is simplified to one contract, reducing the number of reports, contract numbers, etc involved in the process.
Marketing is streamlined into the support of one contract number.
The company has access to a greater breadth of tasks (both in the single Schedule categories as well as the Consolidated Schedule offerings).
An agency can place a task order under a single Schedule and select a Consolidated Schedule company, or an agency could decide to restrict the task order to Consolidated Schedule contractors only.
Considerations to migrating to the Consolidated Schedule
Potential longevity of the Consolidated Schedule contract: No Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) can have a component that is more than 20 years old. This factor drives the potential longevity of the new Consolidated Schedule contract. For example: If migrating an existing LOGWORLD contract (awarded in 2005) with a MOBIS contract (awarded in 2009) the new Consolidated contract could potentially last until 2025 (20 years from the date of the oldest contract award). This means that the MOBIS portion would only be in use until 2025 (16 years.
Business size is driven by the largest sales history: If you merge multiple single Schedules to make a Consolidated Schedule, the single Schedule Special Item Number NAICS, with the greatest historical sales, will determine the business size of the new Consolidated contract. For example: LOGWORLD is merged with MOBIS to make a Consolidated Schedule. LOGWORLD SIN 874-507 has the highest sales and the NAICS threshold for designation as Large is $35.5M. The company's revenue was $10M and so it's MOBIS contract (with NAICS 541611, threshold $7M) was listed as large. Now the entire new Consolidated contract will be listed as Small (under the $35.5M threshold of the LogWorld SIN 874-507). As with all Schedules, business size is reevaluated at each Option period.
Sales history is critical to migration eligibility: Single Schedules that do not meet the minimum sales requirements are not eligible to be merged into a Consolidated Schedule. The Consolidated Schedule is not an opportunity to protect a contract that has low sales.
How does a company acquire a Consolidated Schedule contract?
Now a company can become a Consolidated Schedule contractor in two ways:
- Migrate two or more of their current single Schedules (that are eligible) into a Consolidated contract. The migration document is Form 33 in the solicitation; or
- Apply for two or more single Schedules in a new Consolidated offer.

Volunteers also removed more than 80 yards of invasive weeds from along the Truckee River. The focus on invasive weeds is important as they use more water, are more flammable and more toxic than native weeds.
The amount of trash collected this year, 78 tons, is significantly less than the 144 tons of trash removed during the 2007 event, according to KTMB.
The cleanup began in 2006 as a part of a community-based effort to preserve the natural beauty of local recreation areas and remove the hazards associated with illegal dump sites.
"Volunteers and local residents all report that they are seeing less illegal dump sites every year," said Christi Cakiroglu, KTMB executive director. "With the ongoing commitment of the Illegal Dumping Task Force, the implementation of the 329-DUMP hotline, the Washoe County Sherriff's Office illegal dump stings and our continued efforts to promote the proper disposal of common household items through KTMB's Recycling Guide, we are making major strides in reducing this blight, health and fire hazard."

Lättare, renare, snabbare, starkare och med ett vikt-/effektförhållande i absolut världsklass. Inför årets säsong lanserar Volvo Penta en ny toppmodern generation av V8-bensinmotorer som är laddad med prestanda och ny teknik – och som med god marginal möter EPA:s nya Tier 3-krav.
Ron Huibers has been appointed new president of Volvo Penta Americas. He succeeds Clint Moore who earlier announced he has decided to retire.
Seven lucky winners of the Volvo Penta European Service Campaign, accompanied by their family and friends as well as their authorized Volvo Penta Dealer, had the unique opportunity to enjoy two thrilling days in the heart of the Volvo Ocean Race village in Galway.
Car drivers start their engines, electrical systems and instruments with the single push of a button. In the boating world it's not quite that simple – yet. Volvo Penta has started development work for integrated, modularized and more user-friendly helm stations for the boats of tomorrow.
The new limitations of emission standards put increased demands on marine engine manufacturers. Now, Volvo Penta's world-leading D4/D6-series is compliant with Tier 3, the world's strictest environmental demands for diesel engines for marine use. The upgrade has resulted in an engine range with less environmental impact – without ever compromising Volvo Penta's classic driveability.
The first in a series of five very advanced Coast Guard vessels has reached its final port destination in Falkenberg at the West coast of Sweden.
Volvo Penta is to supply engines for a number of airport fire-fighting vehicles from the company Rosenbauer. This entails a strengthening of the Volvo Group's cooperation with Rosenbauer, which already builds conventional fire trucks using chassis from Volvo Trucks.
Today, when the China International Boat Show opens in Shanghai, Volvo Penta will be presenting the marine industry's strongest product range. Extending the use of Volvo Penta's state-of-the-art engine range would make it possible significantly to reduce the environmental impact of Chinese boat traffic.
In conjunction with the Intermat exhibition in Paris Volvo Penta presents three press releases including both product and business news.

Contact: Gail Cueto (860-832-2434)
Program Rationale:This program is designed for elementary education and K-12 certified teachers wishing to pursue graduate study which extends their knowledge of the theory and practice of elementary education. The program offerings enable working teachers to increase knowledge and skills related to the most effective research-based strategies in teaching, learning, and assessment. Students will have opportunities to analyze, extend, and increase the relevance and responsiveness of their current work in classrooms, particularly as it relates to leadership and diversity issues.
The program consists of a number of courses in the introductory block, curriculum and instruction block, and specialization block. It also provides the opportunity to develop and implement research skills in the final two semesters of the capstone requirement, during which candidates are enrolled in courses that facilitate the planning and conducting of an action research project in the school classroom and/or professional teaching setting in which they are employed. Teacher certification in either elementary, early childhood, middle-level education, or an NK-12 special area is required for admission to the program.
Program Learning Outcomes:Students are expected to:
Capstone Requirement (6 credits)
Special Project, Plan E: EDEL 591 and EDEL 592 (all students are required to enroll in Plan E unless they are exempted for Plan A, the thesis option). Capstone requires the completion of all core and professional courses and at least 6 credits in specialization area. Students are strongly discouraged from taking any other coursework concurrent with EDEL 591. Under no circumstances may students take a course concurrently with EDEL 592.
Program Sequence:
Students should complete the core requirements before enrolling in the professional and specialization courses. Courses in the professional and specialization areas may be taken concurrently with courses from the core with permission of advisor. All core and professional courses, as well as 6 credits in the specialization block, must be completed prior to taking EDEL 591.
In the case of a student who is not employed in a professional setting with children during the capstone semesters, the student may opt to fulfill Plan A, Thesis Capstone (3 credits). In this case, the student must take an additional course, with advisor counsel, to complete the 33 credits in the planned program. The student must also find a faculty member in the department to supervise the thesis work.
Note: A maximum of six credits in 400-level courses may be taken, with the approval of the graduate advisor.

Jeff McCloy says up to 200 parking spaces can be created in the Newcastle CBD, and has released drawings showing one-way traffic and angled parking on Hunter Street.
The prominent businessman, developer and candidate for lord mayor said his plan was a basic way to help revitalise the inner-city.
''Shopping centres need to provide parking,'' Mr McCloy said.
''To get customers back to the CBD we need to address parking problems.''
Mr McCloy said the council should introduce two hours of free parking throughout the city and build more off-street parking. He said Railcorp land across from the proposed state law courts, other Civic land and the former Empire Hotel site could be used for parking.
''There is $5million in [developer] contributions for car parks,'' he said. ''Spend it.''
Parking in the city is emerging as a key issue at the council elections. Labor candidates have already announced opposition to any further roll-out of parking metres, and support free timed parking at weekends.
The Clean Sweep team has flagged parking as a major problem.
Mr McCloy's plan involves making Hunter Street one way into the city and having traffic flow westbound along King Street. Cross streets would be used to transfer between traffic flowing east and west.
Hunter Street would have two lanes of traffic between Stewart Avenue and Union Street. Three traffic lanes would flow into the city between Union and Darby streets.
''Spare road space on Hunter Street [would be used] to introduce angle parking,'' Mr McCloy said.
Mr McCloy said he also wanted to landscape Hunter Street, line the road with trees, pave the footpaths and install new seats and garbage bins.
His plan says consideration would need to be given to bus priority lanes, the width of Hunter and King streets, transition back to two-way traffic flow and specific design issues.

HS Coach Claims Bama Aide Steered Commit To Another HS That "Could Take Care Of Him Academically"
August 8th, 2012 09:09 AM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Alabama
Tags: Foley High School, George Schellang, Jeremy Pruitt, NCAA
As the NCAA moves toward tougher entrance requirements for student-athletes and attempts to change the "sports are king" culture, another mini-controversy has arisen involving an SEC school, a high school prospect, and the question of just how real some academic transcripts are.
You see, Darius Paige of Washington High School in Pensacola, Florida is transferring to Foley High School which is closer to Mobile, Alabama. Paige is an Alabama commitment. And Washington assistant coach George Schellang told The Pensacola News Journal that Bama assistant Jeremy Pruitt steered the player to Foley because Bama "had people there to help" Paige academically:
"Today, (Darius') dad came in and withdrew him. He just came in and cleared out his locker. I saw the withdrawal form and it said he was withdrawing to attend Foley High. All of his transcripts are being sent to Foley…
Darius came in the office one day during the summer after coach (Mike) Smith left and sat down and told me coach Pruitt, who is the Alabama coach who was recruiting him, wanted him to go to Foley High School. Basically, he said (Foley High) could take care of him academically.
My reaction was shock and dismay that a Division I coach would tell a high school athlete that he needed to transfer, that they had people there to help…
My concern is the only one that will get hurt is going to be him. He's a great kid and we love him. He's a very nice young man. In the end, I think he's going to be the one that gets hurt."
Okay, now let's just flush out the arguments that Tide fans will make in blind defense of their school (in the same way other fans of other schools would blindly support their team):
1. The Washington assistant is just mad that he's losing a player and he's making stuff up.
2. The Washington assistant said "basically" in his quote so he's just summarizing what a player told him and both he and the player could have misinterpreted what Pruitt actually told Paige.
3. Maybe "could take care of him academically" means Alabama knows Foley to be a better school with better teachers and academic advisors than Washington.
Yep, all could be possible. But anyone who knows anything about college football recruiting knows that there's nothing unusual about prospects getting academic "help" in order to achieve NCAA eligibility. And recruiting followers also know that certain colleges have stronger ties to some high schools than others. Personally, having seen/heard cases of these types of things happening with other SEC commitments, I wouldn't be surprised in the least to learn that an Alabama assistant did tell an Alabama commitment to transfer because he knew people at another high school who could help him with his grades.
As for Foley High, Todd Watson — the school's defensive coordinator — told The PNJ that he wasn't aware that Paige intended to transfer. For the record, Watson once coached at Hoover High School in Alabama with… Alabama's Pruitt.
Watson — who also told the Mobile Press-Register that Foley High has "not recruited the kid" and "did nothing wrong" — said Paige will still have to prove that he's making a "bona fide" move before he can do anything athletically at Foley. Becoming officially "bona fide" is a four-part process according to the Alabama High School Athletic Association. (Apparently, the little Wharvey gals can't just vouch for the kid.)
In case you're wondering, Schellang says the AHSAA and the NCAA have already been made aware of the story:
"Our athletic director (Troy Faucheaux) has done his duties as an AD and reported everything he needed to report. He has notified the AHSAA, but has not gotten a phone call back."
If Paige does wind up playing for Foley, he'll be following in the footsteps of other recent Bama standouts like Julio Jones, DJ Fluker and Robert Lester. But Watson doesn't want anyone thinking his old cohort Pruitt is steering players his way or that his school is aiding athletes' transcripts illegally:
"That' all nonsense…
(The accusation) insinuated that we just give away grades (and) that's obviously not the case."
I don't know if Foley High gives away grades or if Pruitt steers players — including Paige — in Foley's direction. I do know, however, that many high schools across the South have absolutely finagled grades and transcripts in order to get their players' scholarships. It's happened for years and it will go on happening regardless of the NCAA's attempts to "change the culture."
Getting players into college — especially the biggest-name school in a state — is good business for high school coaches. The more stars they produce, the more they themselves can move up the coaching ladder. So anyone suggesting that there's not even a possibility of impropriety here is burying his head pretty deep in the ol' sand. It's possible. It's not proven. But it's certainly possible.
This kind of thing goes on a lot more than many people want to believe. Whether "this kind of thing" is actually what happened in the case of Paige's move from Washington to Foley, well, that'll be up for the ASHAA and the NCAA to eventually decide. If they decide to look into the matter at all.
UPDATE — A University of Alabama spokesperson has declined to comment on the situation (because doing so would be an NCAA violation in itself). Meanwhile, The Mobile Press-Register reports that Foley High's block schedule would allow a student — Paige — to earn up to eight credits in a school year as opposed to the six credits the same student could grab at Washington High. In that case, it would make sense for a player needing to make academic improvements to switch to a school that offers more potential credits and more room for improvement.
So, does that mean that Schellang misunderstood what he summarized as Paige's Foley "could take care of him academically" comment? Only Paige and Schellang know exactly what was said in their meeting. Until the NCAA or ASHAA get involved — if they get involved — you can expect one side to continue to say "there's nothing fishy here" while the other will repeat, "oh, yes there is."
