Earlier today, a rep at Def Jam said Nas had changed the title of his new album from the controversial Nigger to the much simpler and less incendiary Nas. Now MTV News is reporting that Nas has decided to release the album untitled. "It's important to me that this album gets to the fans," Nas reportedly said in a statement. "It's been a long time coming. I want my fans to know that creatively and lyrically, they can expect the same content and the same messages. It's that important. The streets have been waiting for this for a long time. The people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it." Late last year, Def Jam chairman L.A. Reid said he would "stand firmly behind" the title, which at one point was Nigga, but an "eleventh-hour decision" by Nas resulted in the change. Nas told MTV last week, "Everybody is trying to stop the title. ... Record stores are gonna have a problem in this day and time selling a record with that title. Who knows what's gonna turn out and be on that title?" The album is still due out July 1st.

LIBERTY COUNTY, Texas—A large fire destroyed a flea market northeast of Houston early Monday morning.
According to Capt. Ken DeFoor with the Liberty County Sheriff's Office, the fire was reported shortly before 3 a.m. along Highway 59 and CR 377.
Fire units from Cleveland, Montgomery County, Tarkington, New Caney and Splendora Fire Departments joined in to help battle the blaze.
It wasn't immediately clear how the fire started, but officials said the market's owner indicated he had electrical problems in the building over the weekend. He stated the power to the building had been cut off, however.
"You never expect this," said flea market owner Gary Millican. "It's like losing a loved one. You go to bed, and everyone's OK, and at night it crashes in on you. They're just really heartbroken."
The fire destroyed 30 individual shops. For some of the vendors, this is simply a means of supplementing income. For others, though, it's a lifeline, and everything is gone.
"I'm on Social Security," said Vern Jones. "This was helping me make a little extra."
"This was their job. This was what they did on weekends," said fellow vendor Guy Poindexter, "to pay their bills, pay their house notes and make their ends meet. This is how they survived. It's bad. It's gone for them. It's going to be hard to recoup when everything you had to recoup is in ashes now."
The flea market, which has 160 vendors, will continue to stay open on weekends. Repairs to the damaged stores are expected to be completed in three weeks.
Liberty County Fire Marshal Jim Wilson will investigate the cause of the blaze.
No injuries were reported.

PLANS to site a giant wind farm off the west coast of the Isle of Wight are to be put under the microscope at the Riverside Centre today (Saturday).
A public exhibition is being staged by Eneco, the energy company behind the £2bn scheme to build the Navitus Bay Wind Park.
The exhibition takes place at the centre in Newport between 10am and 4pm.

I am so confused about wind and I simply don't know if it will save the world - as a loving grandparent I have to trust the boffins. But I live in Noke Common, where the prison intends to erect 2 huge (125 metre) turbines that will blight my life as I live less than 400 metres from them. They will tower over my peaceful home and make noise all day and night. The prison say I am worrying without need and that the forest will not suffer and neither will I. Who wants to buy my house? Please object to the prison turbines. Planning application coming soon. A proud NIMBY - and so would you be if you live where I live.

Offshore wind is certainly the lesser of two evils, but that does not make it either efficient or practical.What I will never understand is the zealots (many of whom are unemployed) who in the main have nothing to gain except for having to pay huge energy bills, but who still campaign on behalf of the multi-millionaires and offshore bankers who are the only people to benefit from these wind farm scams.They say " I would have a wind turbine in my back yard", knowing full well that it would never happen because their neighbours would slaughter them with objections.They repeat the same mantra - the wind is free, etc. etc, yet are unable to comprehend that they are being conned by national governments who see "Green" issues as a covert tax raising mechanism and vested interest groups, whose jobs or products depend on promoting misinformation and even downright lies.The most despicable thing is the way children as young as 5 are being indoctrinated into believing

The Island's natural beauty is its greatest asset. It is being spoiled by crazy levels of housing development with no prospect of a matching job creation. We are creating a ghetto - not a holiday isle (which is clearly the only serious option the island has for economic stability.) Individual wind turbines do not offer sufficient benefit to justify the blot on the horizon they create. Yes to large scale offshore wind farms. That does make more sense.

In reply to Michael Watson, I don't just hang my head in shame at windfarms, I yell from the next hill, the one which is obstructing my view by the ghastly thngs, on how diabolical the things are and how uncaring the 'Tree Huggers' are on what a beautiful area we have.

Why the big downer on wind farms? We know that the wind isn't, as predictable as tidal energy but I can tell you this, despite the proliferation of ghastly roof mounted solar panels,be they for water heating or electric generation, that even on the sunniest of days we would get a maximum of 10 useful hours of sunshine and then probably for about one third of the year. Without going into finer mathematical analysis ,roof panels are redundant for approximately about 65% of the time. You may argue that at least they are not visible at night and are therefore only visible when useful which in some ways helps cancel out some of their negative points. The same goes for wind energy. We won't see the turbines at night. As for the much reported exploration for oil along one of the most beautiful stretches of untouched coastline in the country, if not the whole of Europe,where is the public outcry on this? The people of the Island ought to hang their heads in shame if they reject wind power o

Will the power that come frome the wind farm be used for island homes? How much tax payers money will go to ENECO.? And how much tax payers money will go to ENECO for each turbine that is not turning ie, no wind? And how much will this tory council be making out of it all.? it just stinks

The Baltic countries have long been great exponents of wind power, which is hardly surprising considering, like it's more southern counter-part, it is nearly a mediteranean sea and so has minimal tidal movement.If, however, the rest of the world is to reduce it's fossil based power requirements it needs the very best use of our natural resources and building an unsightly wind farm in a strong, consistant and regular 20 hour tidal way smacks of nothing more than political pandering to the new big business mantra 'it's eco-friendly'.That is not enough, efficient and best use should also be high on the list as should environmental and social impact, simply 'eco-friendly' should not be a legitimate excuse to build on any available marine or land based space, especially by non-resident compaies, and blighting peoples quality of life.After all, what impact would that have on Mr. Camerons 'Big Society' and 'Happiness index'
3rd March 2012, at 08:36:48
At what stage, i.e. when 'how many of these carbunkles on the landsape have been shoved on our beautiful Island', will we lose our Area Of Outstanding Beauty status be removed from us?Wind Farms. Pennyfeathers. Plessey's developement, new Supermarkets. Soon be all roof, road and unsightly monsters. How will the Island then be sold to the tourist? Or will ALL hotels be pulled down and blocks of flats erected in their place?

Marine energy could be the answer - tides are predictable - wind is not.Are you disillusioned by rising electricity prices, over dependence on the "green" dream [especially uneconomical and inefficient wind farms] then please register your objection to the Government onhttp://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/22958or by GOOGLING "E-PETITION 22958" and following the link.

To that end, I've compiled a few odds and ends that might make your trip abroad less annoying. Read More
Back to School: Affordable notebooks and netbooks
It's decision time. Which should you buy for school, a notebook or a netbook? Netbooks are great because of their portability and low price points.

Back to School: Welcome to cooking
Well, look at that. Off to college and suddenly it's time to learn how to (theoretically) fend for yourself. You can't fill up on nasty food court or cafeteria items all the time, but luckily it's really not hard to cook up some down-home vittles right from your dorm or (hopefully) your first apartment.

Back to School: Dorm room HDTVs and entertainment
Picking the right TV to pimp out your dorm is important. You don't want to be the poor kid, sporting a tube TV but then again, you don't want to spend all that open house cash just on a plasma. I've got a few solutions that will work nicely with your understandably low budget. Read More
Back to School: Desktop PCs
Before you go humping down to Best Buy to pick up a PC, let's ask ourselves a few questions. The rise of desktop replacement laptops – laptops with full-sized processors, hard drives, and lots of memory – have essentially supplanted the desktop PC in dorm rooms every where. Why pay $500 for a big, noisy box when you can potentially drag your $700 laptop down the hall to watch… Read More
Back to School: In-ear 'phones
I think it's safe to say that 90 percent of you Collegians have iPods and 100 percent of you probably use those eardrum-popping white earbuds. Get rid of those immediately because I doubt you'll want to trade them in for hearing aids in a few years. As I've said in the past, in-ears are where it's at, so you better jump on the wagon.

Reports on the Death of Fusion Are Greatly Exaggerated: A Response to Michael Bauer
Categories: Kauffman
|Jen Siska
|Namu's gamja fries: Fusion, dude. Pure fusion.
My first response on reading Michael Bauer's post today, "What happened to fusion cuisine?" was a pleasant, if slightly embarrassed, sigh of nostalgia, the kind that escapes when you're rustling through a drawer and come across an old prom photo you forgot to burn. Oritalia! Cafe Kati! The House! I was so obsessed with them all in the 1990s. (What's the culinary equivalent of a bromance? Because in my early 20s I had quite the cook's crush on Oritalia's Bruce Hill and Eos's founder, Arnold Wong.)
It's true that Asian fusion in that form has all but disappeared, and in foodista circles the word "fusion" is tinged with as much scorn as "startender." But unlike Bauer, I think that the Bay Area is seeing a new, and glorious, wave of fusion cuisine. We're just not calling it "fusion" because most of the chefs who cook it aren't white.
Isn't Hiro Sone, Lissa Doumani, and Orlando Pagan's erudite Japanese-inflected food at Ame fusion? What about Dennis Lee's fearless, experimental Korean-Californian cooking at Namu? In the street-food scene ― think of Kung Fu Tacos, Hapa SF, and Soul Cocina ― the cuisine-swapping is positively salacious.
Plus, there are more restaurants than I can count ― Slanted Door/Out the Door, Dosa, Yank Sing, Sebo, Nombe, Betelnut, and Ana Mandara, to name just a few ― that only look to outsiders as if they're serving traditional Asian cuisines. The sensibilities of these chefs, and the ingredients they showcase, are pure Californian. And that's no slam.
I concur with Bauer when he writes, "Chefs have become more comfortable using Asian ingredients and have incorporated them into their food without much fanfare." Diners don't think twice about all the culinary mashups undergirding the food at great restaurants like Baker & Banker, for instance.
To me, these New Fusion restaurants (as well as the Cal-Mex Nopalito, the Caribbean-Californian Hibiscus, the Moroccan-Californian Aziza) represent some of the most vital cooking happening in San Francisco. It's food like this that might finally bust through the French-Italian blockade that stalls creativity at too many traditional California cuisine restaurants. Those ginger Caesar salads and plum-sauce-basted salmon filets (RIP, and thank the heavens) have been surpassed by more organic, more creative, more personal, more skillful cooking.

I made a few changes, and it turned out EXCELLENT! 1) I didnt have dill weed, so I used 1 tsp minced garlic, and some oregano. 2) I didnt use a steam basket. I just put zuchinni in pan with some water, and covered for about 5-7 minutes. 3) I put in oven for the 30 minutes, uncovered... than I baked for additional 5 minutes, covered... it didnt come out to watery like other reviews. Will definitely make again next week!
Laurie H
this dish was delish! I added Italian bread crumbs and more cheese at the end and baked for about 10 more minutes. I also used Mozzerella cheese instead of Ramano. This is something I will definately be making again and telling my friends about.
I used fresh zucchini and ripe tomatoes from my garden. The recipie did not have enough flavor for me and too much water drained from the vegetables and ruined the texture. Maybe if you inserted a rack into the pan to allow vegetables to drain during baking, it would improve the texture.

Redirected from Kururutchi
|Clulutchi (くるるっち)
|Genders and Releases:
|Dream Town
Clulutchi (くるるっち Kururutchi), also known as "Kururutchi", is an adult female Tamagotchi character was first released in the new anime series, Tamagotchi! Miracle Friends. She lives in Dream Town and dreams of becoming a fashion designer. Her twin sister is Miraitchi. She is also one of three raisable characters on the upcoming Miracrise ver. Tama Deco Pierce for the Tamagotchi P's.
In the anime, she is voiced by Emiri Kato .
Clulutchi is the more serious twin. She stays calm and reasonable, thinking carefully about things while Miraitchi is often panicking. She is also more intelligent than her and was the first to work out what happened when the twins traveled back in time. Despite her initiative, Clulutchi has aerophobia when it comes to flying, unlike Miraitchi who enjoys it. Also, Clulutchi claims that "she doesn't look the same as her sister," despite that they both share the same traits of biological appearances.
Clulutchi strongly resembles her twin, Miraitchi. Her skin colour is white, has two locks of hair down the sides of her face and a ponytail. She wears a black dress with white spots, and purple stockings. She also has a purple crown on her head, and her eyes are blue.
Name Origin
Kuru (くる) means to arrive or to return. Along with Miraitchi's name, which means "the future", they mean "The future arrives" together. Her name may also come from the word for miracle, "mirakuru", which is the name of the new series she will appear in.
In the Anime
Clulutchi appears in Tamagotchi! Miracle Friends as one of the main heroines along with her twin sister Miraitchi. They both share the same dream to become great fashion designers and run a shop of their own. However, when they suddenly find themselves warped to the past and into the series' main timeline, they embark on an adventure to find a way back to their future while they follow their dream career. Both twins have Pocket Designers. Their father is Doctor Future, but after they are transported to the present, their home-stay parent is Madamutchi.
One of the objectives of the twins is to collect all 8 Dreambakutchis; the twins have the ability to fly in order to catch them. Clulutchi's method of flying is via hoverboard. This hoverboard is pink and white with wings, with a picture of a purple crown resembling the one on Clulutchi's head.
- Clulutchi shares her voice actress with Naru Ayase from Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live.

Former North Andover High School wrestling coach David Castricone will be released on bail again, but in a very restricted manner.
Castricone, who is charged with possession of child pornography, was out on bail but placed back in jail in late February ago after prosecutors said he had been looking at pornography on a computer -- which was a violation of his bail.
On Monday, a Lawrence District Court judge decided to allow him to be released from jail again, but with house arrest.
"Once the equipment is in place, he will be released on a GPS bracelet confined to his home except for medical emergencies," said Carrie Kimball-Monahan, spokesperson for District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett's office.
Prosecutors had requested that Castricone be held in jail, but Castricone's attorney requested he be on house arrest but allowed to leave his home for attorney visits, counseling and medical emergencies, Monahan said. The judge decided house arrest with the only exception being medical emergencies.
Castricone after a student at NAHS reported that she had seen him in the girls' locker room and police said they found a stash of child pornography in his home. He resigned as coach at that time as well.
Castricone's next scheduled court date is March 30.

|Bios on the new football coaching staff at BGSU (1-28-14)
|Written by By Sentinel Sports Staff
|Tuesday, 28 January 2014 18:00
Bowling Green State University Football Coach Dino Babers has announced his coaching staff. Babers has retained secondary coach Nick Monroe from 2013 MAC Championship team, while bringing the remainder of his coaching staff with him from Eastern Illinois.
Babers has appointed co-offensive coordinators in Sterlin Gilbert and Matt Mattox. Gilbert spent two seasons as offensive coordinator at EIU, earning Coordinator of the Year honors from FootballScoop. Mattox, who played for Art Briles at Houston, was the offensive line coach at Eastern Illinois a season ago.
Kim McCloud will come to Bowling Green as the defensive coordinator after serving in the same position at Eastern Illinois under Babers during the past two seasons. Tom Kaufman will serve as special teams coordinator for the Falcons next season.
Mike Lynch, Sean Lewis and Tom Freeman will also join Babers' staff from Eastern Illinois, where all three served as assistant coaches last season.
Sean Edinger, Director of Strength and Conditioning, and Roy Wittke, Director of Football Operations, will be members of the support staff at Bowling Green. Both of them served in the same capacity at Eastern Illinois.
Dino Babers
Dino Babers, who was introduced as the 18th coach in program history on Dec. 18, 2013, begins his first season as head football coach at Bowling Green State University in 2014. Babers comes to Northwest Ohio after two very successful seasons as the head coach at Eastern Illinois University.
"We are so proud to have Dino and his family join Bowling Green State University," Kingston began. "Dino brings with him an incredible resume of successful experiences that absolutely fit the Falcon football program. He is a proven winner who is in the business of developing young men who desire success on the field, in the classroom and in the community. His ability to maximize talent through skill development is unmatched."
Babers brings 29 years of coaching experience, including a 19-7 record as a head coach. In 2013, Babers led Eastern Illinois to a 12-2 record, a No. 2 national ranking, and a quarterfinal appearance in the FCS playoffs. The Panthers outscored their opponents 675-319 in 2013. Upon his arrival at EIU, Babers took a Panthers team, which had finished in last place in the Ohio Valley Conference in 2011, and led them to a first-place finish in 2012 with a 6-1 league mark. It was just the fourth time in OVC history in which a team had gone from worst-to-first in a single season. For his efforts, he was named Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year in each of the past two years.
During his two seasons at EIU, Babers led the best offense in all of FCS. The Panthers led the nation in yards per game (589.5) and points per game (48.2) in 2013. In addition, EIU averaged 372.4 yards per game through the air and 217.1 yards per game on the ground.
"I am honored and excited to join the Falcon family," Babers said. "BGSU has great facilities and the fans are proving that their support of BGSU football is among the best in the MAC. I want to thank President Mazey, Chris Kingston and Lesley Irvine for the opportunity to take over the Bowling Green program. My family and I are excited to be in Bowling Green and be Falcons. I want to thank the Eastern Illinois players and fans for their support the last two years, especially President Perry and (athletics director) Barbara Burke."
Under the guidance of Babers, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was named the Walter Payton Award winner, the FCS equivalent of the Heisman Trophy -- given to the nation's best player. Garoppolo threw for 5,050 yards and 53 touchdowns in 2013. During his two seasons under Babers' guidance, he has thrown for 8,873 yards and 84 scores.
Babers, best-known for his offensive firepower, has proven to be an effective defensive coach, as well. The Panthers were in the top 30 nationally in scoring defense, red zone defense, and passing defense efficiency. They are also one of the most prolific defenses in the all of FCS at forcing turnovers, as they are sixth in the nation with a plus-14 turnover margin. EIU forced 37 turnovers on the year and ranks first in the country with 23 fumbles recovered.
Both Garoppolo and wide receiver Erik Lora were named the best at their position by the FCS Athletic Directors Association. Lora followed up his record breaking 2012 season (in which he was named OVC Player of the Year) by catching 123 passes for 1,554 yards and 19 touchdowns in 14 games. The 123 catches were the second-most in FCS history, trailing only the record-setting 136 catches he had in 2012. The 1,544 yards were the second-most in OVC history (behind only his record of 1,664 set last year) and 15th in FCS history. His 19 receiving touchdowns were the most in OVC history as were his 35 career receiving touchdowns.
Under Babers, Eastern Illinois' offense used the talents of more than just one receiver, as four wideouts had at least 700 yards and eight touchdowns in 2013. Adam Drake joined Lora with over 1,000 yards in 2013, as he caught 85 passes for 1,305 yards and 13 touchdowns. In addition to the aerial assault, EIU featured a dynamic rushing attack. As a team, the Panthers had 35 rushing touchdowns and featured two backs who had big years. Shepard Little rushed for 1,551 yards and 15 touchdowns on the season, while Taylor Duncan had 988 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Prior to becoming the head coach at Eastern Illinois, Babers spent four seasons at Baylor under Art Briles from 2008-11. During his time in Waco, he served as the special teams' coordinator, recruiting coordinator, and outside receivers coach, coaching NFL stars such as Robert Griffin III, Kendall Wright, and Josh Gordon. Prior to that, he spent four seasons at UCLA as an assistant head coach, recruiting coordinator and wide receivers coach. His other coaching stints have included stops at Pittsburgh, Texas A&M, Arizona, San Diego State, Purdue, Northern Arizona, Nevada, Eastern Illinois, Arizona State, and Hawaii.
More impressively, Babers has mentored 27 receivers who have played in the NFL, and several other top draft picks. Among the players who have been coached by Babers, six of them were drafted in the first two rounds. The Tennessee Titans drafted wide receiver Kendall Wright in the first round, while running back Trung Candidate was a first round pick by the St. Louis Rams in 2000. Four others—wide receivers Brian Alford, Will Blackwell, Dennis Northcutt and Josh Gordon—were taken in the second round.
Babers was a four-year starter at the University of Hawaii, Academic All-WAC, and captain his senior year. He is married to his wife Susan. They have four daughters—Breeahnah (22), Tasha (20), Jazzmin (19), and Paris (16).

He was named the West Texas High School Coach of the Year in 2008.
Gilbert developed a name for himself as a prolific offensive coach at Cooper High School in Abilene during the 2006 and 2007 seasons when he served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. His 2006 offense led 5A with 3,172 yards passing. In 2007 the team advanced to the Texas Class 3-AAAAA playoffs.

A Texas native, Gilbert was a two-time All-Lone Star Conference quarterback at Angelo State in 2000 and 2001. He earned his degree in 2002 after serving as a two-time team captain. Angelo State won the Lone Star Conference South Division in 1999 and 2000. Gilbert was a two-time All-State quarterback at San Angelo Lake View HS.
Matt Mattox (Co-Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line)
Matt Mattox begins his first season as co-offensive coordinator at Bowling Green State University in 2014. He joins Dino Babers' staff after one season as offensive line coach at Eastern Illinois. Mattox will also coach the Falcons' offensive line.
Mattox is familiar with the up-tempo offensive system that Babers uses, having played and served as a graduate assistant under Art Briles at Houston.
Under Mattox, EIU's offensive line helped the offense amass over 8,000 yards in 2013, including 5,000-plus passing yards and more than 3,000 rushing yards.
Mattox coached at EIU following six years as an offensive line/tight ends coach in the junior college ranks.

McCloud and Dino Babers worked together on the staff at Baylor University where McCloud coached the secondary from 2008-2010, before joining forces at EIU following the 2011 season.
The Panthers were in the top 30 nationally in scoring defense, red zone defense, and passing defense efficiency under McCloud during the 2013 season. They were also one of the most prolific defenses in all of FCS at forcing turnovers, as they finished sixth in the nation with a plus-14 turnover margin. EIU forced 37 turnovers on the year and ranked first in the country with 23 fumbles recovered.
As a defensive unit the Panthers found their stride in forcing turnovers as EIU ranked 18th in the nation in turnovers gained for the 2012 season. During OVC play EIU's defense held opponents to 24 or less points in four games as the Panthers high-powered offense ranked among the nation's best. EIU turned in its best defensive performance of the year during a win over nationally ranked Eastern Kentucky when EIU held the Colonels to only seven points. As a unit EIU allowed only three individual rushers to gain 100 or more yards in a game during the season. The defense had four players earn All-OVC honors.
McCloud has experience coaching in the Mid-American Conference, as he was an assistant at Akron during the 2011 season.
McCloud has been in the collegiate coaching profession for more than a decade with post-season appearances at Baylor, Idaho, Missouri, Nevada, and Eastern Illinois.

Tom Kaufman (Special Teams' Coordinator/Linebackers)
Tom Kaufman joins Dino Babers' staff at Bowling Green as the special teams coordinator in 2014. Kaufman, who will coach linebackers at BGSU, also coached linebackers for two seasons at Eastern Illinois under Babers.
During his time at EIU, Kaufman's linebackers were routinely a major factor on one of the best defenses at forcing turnovers in the country.
Kaufman coached a young group of linebackers during his first season. Robert Haynes ranked among the OVC leaders in tackles as he led the Panthers with 101. LeQuince McCall earned All-OVC Newcomer team honors finishing the year with 82 tackles. The linebacker corps helped EIU rank 18th in the nation in turnovers gained.
Kaufman worked as a quality control coach at Texas in 2011 helping the Longhorns earn a bid to the Holiday Bowl.
Prior to working at Texas, Kaufman spent one season as a quality control coach at Kansas (2010) and one season as a graduate assistant at Mississippi State (2009).

Nick Monroe (Secondary)
Nick Monroe begins his fifth year as an assistant coach at Bowling Green State University in 2014. He will coach the secondary under head coach Dino Babers.
2013 was a banner year for the Bowling Green secondary under Monroe, as the Falcons finished the year with the sixth best passing defense in the country. Once again, senior BooBoo Gates was named first team All-MAC at safety. The most notable defensive performance by the Falcons came in game 11, when the Falcons held Eastern Michigan to just four passing yards in a 55-7 win.
In 2012 Monroe established one of the best secondary units in the country, finishing the season ranked as the 13th-best pass defense (190.1) in the nation. On three different occasions his secondary did not even allow 100 yards passing. His secondary featured a pair of All-MAC performers in Gates (first-team) and Cameron Truss (third-team).
Monroe's vision could be seen back in 2011 when it featured arguably the youngest secondary in the country with three sophomores and two freshmen. Truss led the team with nine pass breakups, while first-year starters Ryland Ward and Aaron Foster were third on the team with 69 tackles.
In 2010 Monroe coached a secondary that featured four new starters. Monroe helped coach Jovan Leacock, who came to BGSU as a wide receiver, into a safety who finished second on the team with 91 tackles and added two interceptions. The secondary also featured Truss, who led the team with seven pass breakups.
Prior to his time at BGSU Monroe was the co-defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator at Colgate University. He spent six years on the defensive side of the ball, beginning as the outside linebackers coach before moving to the secondary in 2006.
In 2009, Colgate finished the season ranked No. 1 in total defense in the Patriot League. In his last three years as the secondary coach, Monroe had four first-team All-Patriot League selections and one second-team pick.
In 2008, cornerback Wayne Moten was named Colgate's Defensive MVP and was first-team all-league.
In 2009, strong safety Uzi Idah was named Colgate's Defensive MVP and was first-team all-league. The same season, true freshman cornerback Demitri Diamond was named the Patriot League Rookie of the Year.
Colgate won a pair of Patriot League Championships while Monroe was there in 2005 and 2008. Both league championships earned berths to the Division 1-AA (now FCS) National Playoffs.
Prior to his time at Colgate, Monroe was the secondary coach for two seasons at Allegheny College, where the team won the conference championship in 2003 and earned a berth in the NCAA Division III National Playoffs.
Monroe was a four-year letterwinner at St. Cloud State University and a one year starter at cornerback. He graduated from St. Cloud State in 2001 with a degree in marketing.
Mike Lynch (Running Backs)
Mike Lynch enters his first season as an assistant coach with the Falcons in 2014. He previously coached nine seasons at EIU, including the past two under Dino Babers. Lynch will coach the running backs at Bowling Green in 2014.
As the running backs coach in 2013, Lynch mentored two backs who anchored a rushing attack which totaled over 3,000 yards. Shepard Little rushed for 1,551 yards and 15 touchdowns a season ago, while Taylor Duncan had 988 yards and 10 touchdowns for the Panthers.
Lynch moved over to coach running backs in 2012 after coaching wide receivers the previous five seasons. During the 2011 season Lynch coached Jake Walker who earned second team All-OVC honors as he rushed for 1,133 yards on the season. Walker became just the tenth running back in EIU history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season. As a unit the running backs rushed for 20 touchdowns.
In 2011 Lynch's wide receivers unit accounted for 20 of the team's 33 touchdowns with junior Chris Wright hauling in 11 touchdown passes. Prior to an injury to senior Lorence Ricks, the Panthers were one of only three teams at the FCS level with three active 1,000 yard receivers on the roster. EIU's wide receiver corps hauled in 160 passes for 1,960 yards.
In 2009 Lynch helped coach one of the youngest wide receiving groups in the nation as three starters were underclassmen. That unit responded by hauling in 19 touchdown passes with 184 receptions for 2,288 yards. It was a balanced attack where the top receiver had only 32 catches with eight different receivers accounting for Panther touchdowns. In 2010 that same group of receivers caught 193 passes for 2,279 yards and 18 touchdowns. Four different receivers posted 100-plus yard receiving days including Chris Wright with 217 yards during an overtime win at Tennessee State which ranks third on EIU's career list.
In 2007, EIU wide receivers hauled in 218 passes for 2,300 yards including another big year by senior Micah Rucker who had 9 touchdowns and 777 yards receiving.
During the 2006 season Lynch helped coach Micah Rucker as the junior receiver earned second team All-American honors for the Panthers with 13 touchdowns and 966 yards receiving.
Prior to joining the EIU staff, Lynch made a name for himself as a member of the Utah State coaching staff from 2000-04. While with the Aggies, Lynch helped coach three tight ends that would sign with NFL teams. Chris Cooley was a third round selection of the Washington Redskins in the 2003 draft while J.R. Suguturaga and Casey Poppinga both signed free agent contracts.
A Roseville, Calif. native, Lynch played two seasons at Sierra Junior College in California before playing two seasons at center at the University of Montana. His 1997 and 1998 Grizzly teams won 16 games making two straight NCAA I-AA playoff appearances. He would serve as a restricted earnings coach in 1999 on the UM staff.
Lynch earned his bachelors degree from Montana and a masters in secondary education from Utah State. He was married to the former Emily Schilling in June 2011.

Following the loss of two senior quarterbacks from 2009 and the loss of two senior running backs to open the season, Wittke helped coach freshman quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo as he earned All-OVC Newcomer honors. Garoppolo would have ranked third in the OVC in passing yards but did not appear in enough games. In 2010 Garoppolo continued to develop as he moved into the EIU career and single season passing lists in several categories.
EIU's 2009 offense featured a more balanced offensive attack as quarterback Jake Christensen and running back Mon Williams were both second team All-OVC selections. The Panthers scored 19 touchdowns through the air and another 11 on the ground.
In 2008 the Panthers offense produced a 1,000 rusher for the fifth straight season as Travorus Bess climbed into the career Top 15 on the Panthers charts.
Wittke returned to EIU following his most recent stint at Northern Illinois during the 2007 season where he served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Wittke is best known for helping to develop current Dallas Cowboys signal caller Tony Romo as the Panthers offensive coordinator from 1990-2002. During that time frame EIU posted 82 wins, made five FCS playoff appearances and was capped off by Romo earning the 2002 Walter Payton Award. He was named the AFCA Division I-AA Assistant Coach of the Year in 2002 as the Panthers offensive unit ranked fourth in the nation in scoring (35.3 ppg) and fifth in total offense (452.6 yards/game).
During his first stop at EIU, Wittke coached 14 players who earned offensive All-American honors and numerous all-conference selections in both the Ohio Valley Conference and Gateway Football Conference. Three of his offensive units rank among the top five at EIU for total offense and scoring in a season.
Following the 2002 season, Wittke worked as the offensive coordinator at the University of Arkansas from 2003-05 and one season at both Arizona State University (2006) and Northern Illinois (2007). Wittke coached in both the 2003 Independence Bowl with Arkansas and the 2006 Hawai'i Bowl with Arizona State.
He has also had stints at his alma mater Wisconsin Eau-Claire (1979-81), Montana State (1982-84) and Central Missouri State (1985-89).
Wittke is a native of Racine, Wis., and a 1982 graduate of Wisconsin Eau-Claire. He and his wife Patty have three children -- sons Brad and Jeff and daughter Bekah.
Sean Edinger (Director of Strength & Conditioning)
Sean Edinger begins his first season at Bowling Green State University as Director of Strength & Conditioning. He comes to BGSU from Eastern Illinois, where he had served in a similar role since June 2012. He will oversee the strength and conditioning for all of Bowling Green's 18 varsity sports.
Edinger arrived at EIU following three years as the head strength coach at Central Missouri where he was directly responsible for all aspects of the Mules strength and conditioning program. Prior to his hiring at UCM, Edinger was the head strength coach for football and volleyball at the Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas from 2008-09.
Edinger was a graduate assistant at Missouri from 2006-08 directly covering the sports of volleyball and tennis. He helped assist with the Tigers football strength program working with players in preparation for pro days and professional combines.
He is a 2006 graduate of Kansas with a master's degree from Missouri (2008). Edinger holds certifications as a NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, USA Weightlifting Sport Performance 1 and CSCCa Strength and Conditioning Coach Certified.

Are you a secret binge drinker? Half of us may be
Posted: February 27, 2013|
Half of us are knocking back enough alcohol to be classed as binge drinkers without even realising.
That is according to a new study which found a huge inconsistency between alcohol sales and the amount people say they drink in surveys.
When the two figures are compared, 40 per cent of sales are unaccounted for.
This suggests as many as half of all men and women in England can be classified as binge drinkers, and three-quarters of people may be drinking above the recommended daily alcohol limit.
Related content
Health guidelines classify a binge drinker as a woman who consumes six units in a single session - the equivalent of two large glasses of wine - or a man who drinks eight units - about three pints of strong beer.
This means the millions of Brits who enjoy a boozy Saturday night or share a bottle of wine with a friend are classed as binge drinkers.
Binge drinking is most prevalent among women, those on high incomes and those living in the south of England, the study found.
And many of us are consuming far more than we realise and regularly exceed the recommended limits. Men should not regularly consume more than four units per day – the equivalent of two pints of beer – and women three units a day – less than three small glasses of wine.
A unit of alcohol is roughly equivalent to half a pint of ordinary strength beer, or nearly one small glass of wine.
The study was carried out by researchers at University College London (UCL). Using a complex computer model, academics tried to estimate the true amount of alcohol being drunk.
They based it on two sets of official data on alcohol consumption – the Health Survey for England and the General Lifestyle Survey – which covered 22,000 adults.
Lead author of the study Sadie Boniface said: "This gap between what is seen in the surveys and sales potentially has enormous implications for public health in England."
Elaine Hindal, chief executive of alcohol education charity Drinkaware, said: "It's not unusual for people to under-report how much alcohol they drink, whether that's intentional or not.
"People don't tend to understand differences in sizes and strengths of popular drinks, or might be unwilling to admit to themselves and others exactly how much they drink.
"Consumers need to be aware of the unit guidelines and how this equates to their own drinking. Nearly everyone has heard of the term 'units', but many people find it difficult to translate how many there are in their favourite drink.
"Using a unit calculator like MyDrinkaware can help people understand how much they're drinking and how it's affecting their health."
There were 8,748 alcohol-related deaths in the UK in 2011, official figures show.
But what are the benefits of reducing your alcohol intake?
There's around 240 calories in the average pint of lager – the equivalent of a large slice of pizza or a bag of crisps.
Drinking two bottles of beer (275 calories in total) is the same as tucking into a sirloin steak, while knocking back a pint of cider at 210 calories is like eating a sugar doughnut.
And ladies, while you might have resisted the temptation to round off your lunch with something sweet, that large glass of wine after work at 195 calories is the equivalent of eating a slice of sponge cake.
Meanwhile a unit of a spirit (excluding the mixer) has the same number of calories as a Yorkshire pudding.
Drinking alcohol also reduces the amount of fat your body burns for energy.
Alcohol impacts upon our health and reducing our intake can make a huge difference to the way we look and feel on a day-to-day basis.
Aside from the well-documented long-term risks - liver damage; heart disease; cancer and type 2 diabetes - alcohol can affect fertility. Studies have shown drinking even small amounts can reduce the chance of conceiving.
Booze puts women at greater risk of breast cancer and increases some side-effects of the menopause.
Meanwhile men who regularly drink above the daily unit guidelines can suffer low energy and sexual difficulties in the short-term. Blokes are also twice as likely to develop liver cirrhosis and have nearly twice the chance of being diagnosed with high blood pressure.
Alcohol consumption can also result in a disturbed night's sleep, leaving you feeling – and looking – washed out. And while some of us turn to alcohol to unwind after a long day it can actually make you feel more stressed because it's a depressant.
Read more about the health effects of alcohol here.
Aside from the calories and health risks, booze can cost big bucks.
Buying a well-known brand bottle of Chardonnay from a supermarket once a week can cost £360 a year and picking up a six-pack of bottled lager to drink at home £300 a year.
If you treat yourself to a slightly pricier bottle of weekly wine at around £15 you're spending around £720 a year, and a flashy bottle at £30 could set you back £1,440 a year.
Meanwhile a 12-pack of premium larger bought from a supermarket once a week could cost you £576 a year.
And a few glasses of wine with friends at a bar once a week could be costing you £56 a month or £672 a year, while a few pints at the pub could set you back £576 a year.
Get to grips with how much you're drinking, the calories you're consuming and how much it's costing you with the Drinkaware calculator.
And find out how to start cutting down on your alcohol intake here.

"People treated with only CBT-that's all they know," she says, "so I think they do it with gusto in the next year and reap the benefits."
Of the light therapy group, only four people used it on their own the following winter. Rohan considers this unsurprising given the commitment the treatment requires: 30 minutes sitting in front of a light box every day through the difficult season. Her data shows that long-term compliance is rare.
A $2 million, five-year grant from the National Institute of Mental Health will advance the next phase of Rohan's research. In the Cadillac version of the trial, as she calls it, Rohan will follow a much larger sample, 160 people, over two consecutive winters. That study, in progress now, will compare only CBT and light therapy.
"The combination therapy may blow your socks off across six weeks of the initial winter," says Rohan, "but if it doesn't have good long-term outcomes, what is the point? This is a recurrent depression. It's going to come back every year in some form and I want to develop treatments that are going to have lasting effects."
If you are a SAD sufferer and would like to take part in UVM's Winter Blues Study, call 656-9890.

Report confirms rapid growth of credit derivatives market
The latest British Bankers' Association survey of the credit derivatives market, published last month, confirms that the market has grown at a phenomenal pace in the past two years.
The BBA calculates the size of the market at $20.2 trillion. A particularly useful feature of the BBA survey, which is carried out every two years, is that it provides a breakdown of the market by type of participant.
One finding that emerges from the report is that hedge funds have rapidly increased their share of the market.
This year they account for 28% of all trades as buyers of protection and 32% as sellers of protection - up from 16% and 15% respectively in 2004. Banks remain the biggest group of users, but have seen their share fall at the expense of hedge funds.
Bank trading books are responsible for 39% of notionals in terms of protection bought and 35% in terms of protection sold. Their loan books account for 20% of protection bought and 9% of protection sold. This is the first year the BBA has asked market participants about the split between trading and loan portfolio activities: in 2004 banks accounted for 67% of protection bought and 54% of protection sold.
Another notable finding is that index credit default swaps are now almost as popular as single-name credit default swaps. Full index trades accounted for 30.1% of volumes, up from 9% in 2004. Single-name trades fell in relative terms from 51% of outstandings in 2004 to 32.9% in 2006.The next most popular products in 2006 are synthetic CDOs (16.3%) and index tranches (7.6%).
The underlying composition of the credit derivatives market has also shifted in the past two years, with high-yield reference entities becoming much more prevalent. They accounted for 30% of outstandings in 2006 compared to 16% in 2004, according to the survey.

ORCHARD PARK -- We're back at One Bills Drive for Round Two of the 2010 NFL Draft.
10:13 p.m.: Tight end Rob Gronkowski, picked 42nd overall by New England, was the only local player selected on the second day of the draft. Hoping for calls today: UB running back James Starks and wideout Naaman Roosevelt, Syracuse wideout Mike Williams, Ohio State defensive end Doug Worthington and Arizona fullback Chris Gronkowski. The third round had to be particularly disappointing for Williams, who was hoping to go as high as the second round. Seven wideouts went in the third round. --BD
10:12 p.m.: At the start of the second round, there still were four well-regarded nose tackles on the board - Terrence Cody, Linval Joseph, Torell Troup and Cam Thomas. Some had Al Woods in the top 100 players, too. Given that, Buddy Nix was asked if he made much of an effort to move up or felt comfortable staying put at 41.
Said Nix: "It really kind of worked out that way. We're not much move anyway. I mean to move just to be moving, I mean some of those guys, I don't now how they know where they hell they draft. If we know we're gonna gain an advantage, we'll do it." --MG
10:07 p.m.: It was pointed out to Bills GM Buddy Nix that many people projected Jimmy Clausen to go No. 4 several weeks ago. "Well why didn't they take him (that high)?" Nix responded. Obviously, the Bills simply did not love Clausen, who lasted to No. 48. More from Nix:
10:03 p.m.: Why did the Bills pass on USC tackle Charles Brown at No. 41? Many had him rated in the top 32, but there were reports Saturday there were concerns about his health. He lasted to No. 64. Said Tom Modrak, Bills vice president of college scouting: "Our medical situation is this: you pass, fail or something in between. He was not a fail." --MG
10:01 p.m.: Buffalo Bills third-round draft pick DE Alex Carrington from Arkansas State answers questions from the media after he is selected by the Bills:
9:59 p.m.: Modrak discusses what third-round draft pick Alex Carrington will bring to the Bills' defense:
9:58 p.m.: Buffalo Bills VP of College Scouting Tom Modrak discusses what second-round draft pick Torell Troup will bring to the Bills:
9:56 p.m.: The Bills had so many needs to address they couldn't go too wrong in the second round. But one rather important question remains: Who's going to quarterback this team? I'm not totally surprised they passed over Jimmy Clausen, but only because they weren't in a position to draft two players at skill positions in the opening two rounds. The selection of C.J. Spiller had them handcuffed when Clausen was still available at No. 41. GM Buddy Nix says the team will bring in a fourth quarterback which, when you get right down to it, is an admission they're not enamored with the three they have. Is it just me, or are they taking a rather lackadaisical approach to the most important position on the field? Had the Bills addressed a true need in the first round, continued to build the foundation, they'd have been able to strike when Clausen slid. --Bob DiCesare
9:26 p.m.: Buddy Nix, the long-time Bills Southeastern scout in the 1990s, was asked if there was any coincidence to the fact the Bills have taken three Southern players so far. His answer: "We've got to have somebody I can talk to." --MG
8:56 p.m.: The Bills select DE Alex Carrington from Arkansas State with the 72nd pick. --LNM
8:46 p.m.: LOOKING to the Bills' Pick at No. 72: Top players left: DE Everson Griffen, OT Bruce Campbell, QB Colt McCoy, WR Damien Williams USC, WR Eric Decker Minn, WR Taylor Price Ohio, WR Brandon Lafell LSU. --MG
8:22 p.m.: Here's a look at the NT decision by the Bills at No. 41. They took Torell Troup ahead of Terrence Cody ... Cody's conditioning might have been a worry ... Linval Joseph was rated ahead of Troup by some. But he left college early and was arguably more raw, not ready to step in right away. They took him over LSU's Al Woods, but Woods was a one-year wonder. UNC's Cam Thomas was out there, but it seems many had him rated below Troup. --MG
8:21 p.m.: Running back run. Detroit, Kansas City, Cleveland, San Diego, Houston and Minnesota all have taken running backs ... The number of potential trading spots for Marshawn Lynch are shrinking ... Philadelphia, Seattle, Green Bay and New England ... those might be the only four teams left that arguably have a need at RB. --MG
7:52 p.m.: Mark Gaughan on Troup.
7:46 p.m.: Troup discusses what it means to play a low-profile position:
7:32 p.m.: The Buffalo Bills second-round draft pick Torell Troup describes his style of play during a conference call with the media at One Bills Drive.
7:12 p.m.: Check back to the Billboard blog soon for audio from a conference call with Troup. --LNM
7:12 p.m.: New England trades up to get Williamsville's Rob Gronkowski. This is a great move for the local kid. He goes to a winning team. He has a Hall of Famer throwing him passes. ... He gets to become a Bills-killer. --MG
University of Arizona tight end Rob Gronkowski was taken with the 42nd overall pick by the Patriots. (Associated Press)
6:59 p.m.: Some notes on Troup: Started 39 of 50 games at Central Florida, including 25 starts at right tackle and 14 at left tackle. Recorded 108 tackles (63 solos) that included six sacks for -26 yards. --
6:53 p.m.: The quote of the year in the NFL right now is: "I just wish I liked Jimmy Clausen better." - Mike Holmgren, Cleveland --MG
6:52 p.m.: Torell Troup. The Bills have their nose tackle. ... It's obvious they really, really, really did not love Jimmy Clausen ... The Jets ran for 567 yards on the Bills in two games ... --MG
6:51 p.m.: With the 41st pick, the Bills select DT Torell Troup from Central Florida.
6:50 p.m.: I'm stunned Clausen is still there. Can the Bills pass him up? I don't see how. When are they ever going to get a QB? ... --MG
6:43 p.m.: Cleveland takes TJ Ward - who was rated in the 90s ... at No. 38 ... They pass on Clausen. So it looks like the Bills had no need to move up for anybody ... Oakland is up. They could take a tackle. ... The Bills look like they can have Clausen at 41 if they want him ... Or Charles Brown. Or T.Cody, L.Joseph ... --MG
6:33 p.m.: Some notable Bills' second-round picks of the past... T Billy Shaw (1961), DT Fred Smerlas (1979), LB Darryl Talley (1983), RB Thurman Thomas (1988), DE Marcellus Wiley (1997), DB Jairus Byrd (2009). --LNM
6:30 p.m.: Chiefs take RB Dexter McCluster ... That helps the Bills. They passed on OT ... Now only Oakland ahead of the Bills is likely to take OT. ... Only Cleveland ahead of the Bills is likely to take a QB. The RB draft is very thin. That's why KC jumped on RB. --MG
6:19 p.m.: This would be a potential trade spot if the Bills want to take OT ... Because KC needs an OT on the next pick... --Mark Gaughan
6:14 p.m.: The St. Louis Rams delivered a blow to the Bills by taking Indiana left tackle Rodger Saffold. He had to be high on the Bills' draft board. They have to cross their fingers that USC tackle Charles Brown drops or they'll need to trade up for either Brown or perhaps Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen. Stay tuned. --Allen Wilson
6:13 p.m.: The St. Louis Rams select Rodger Saffold (OT) from Indiana with the first pick of the second round. --LNM
6:00 p.m.: Round Two has begun. The Rams are on the clock.

Trying to find Pokka black canned coffee in or near Toronto
I've been looking all over for Pokka black coffee. I used to buy it at a supermarket in the mall next to Pacific mall, but they seem to have stopped selling it. I see Pokka milk coffee all over the place, but I've tried it and it tastes pretty vile and doesn't give me nearly as much energy. If you know of anywhere that still sells it... you have no idea how grateful I'd be.
Here's a picture of the one I'm looking for:
Pretty sure I saw it at PAT Central tonight but I'd hate to send you on a wild goose chase. Maybe give a call first.
