Ron Paul Looks West for Super Tuesday
Paul sets his sights out west for Super Tuesday delegate quest.
Revving up for Super Tuesday, Texas Rep. Ron Paul will turn up the heat this week in western caucus states — all places Paul has visited or is scheduled to make campaign stops in this week.
[Romney Spokesman Calls Ron Paul a 'Serious Competitor']
"Of the Super Tuesday states, we have been focusing on Idaho, Alaska and North Dakota, which are all caucus states where we have the highest likelihood of gaining a lot of delegates," says Gary Howard, the campaign's spokesman.[See pictures of the 2012 GOP candidates.]
There are a total of 87 delegates up for grabs in those three states.
An Idaho Republican spokesman says Paul has made more campaign stops in Idaho than any other candidate, attracting impressive crowds along the way.
"There is no doubt Ron Paul has a very strong grassroots organization here," the spokesman says.
GOP strategist Ron Bonjean says Paul is wise to focus time and attention on caucus states, which attract large volumes of Paul supporters and allow them to leverage their enthusiasm into more votes for the congressman.
"He has shown strength in those western states," Bonjean says. "The more delegates he earns there, the more powerful he becomes, even if he doesn't win."
Bonjean isn't predicting Paul will sweep the West, but says with every delegate earned, Paul earns more power for the GOP convention.
Bonjean adds even if Paul performs poorly on Super Tuesday, his campaign will continue the quest for delegates. [Is Rick Santorum More Electable than Mitt Romney?]
"Paul measures success differently than the opposing campaigns. He looks like he is really enjoying getting a lot more attention than he ever has regarding his issues. His not winning doesn't seem to stop him from staying optimistic."
Paul is the only GOP candidate left in the race who has not won a state primary or caucus.
In upcoming days, Paul will spend time in Alaska, the only candidate to do so this election cycle.
But, even with his focus out West, Paul is not ignoring possible delegate conquests elsewhere. Paul's campaign spent Tuesday night in Virginia, a state Paul could do well in, considering only he and Mitt Romney are on the state's ballot. Paul has also spent time in recent weeks campaigning in Oklahoma.
Paul's campaign released details Wednesday of the campaign's first Super Tuesday ad buys. The ad, "Plan," highlighting Paul's campaign promises. will begin airing in Vermont Wednesday and run through the state's Tuesday primary. [Mitt Romney Edges Out Rick Santorum in Michigan Squeaker.]
"The airtime purchases and forthcoming buys elsewhere advance the delegate-attainment strategy that will help Ron Paul win the Republican nomination as we continue along this exhaustive 50-state campaign, a race we are prepared to stay in and win," says Jesse Benton, Paul's National Campaign Chairman.

My husband started making me this when we were dating. Today, it is a family favorite. Yes, my 5 year old LOVES quesadillas. It has simple ingredients and no over-powering flavors. It's easy to make and leaves you wanting more. Here's how I make quesadillas.
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, fat removed, cut into small pieces
1 small onion diced
2 tablespoons butter
olive oil
salt & pepper
Chili powder
Shredded Mexican style cheese
Soft tortilla wraps
1. In a large skillet, add 4 teaspoons of olive oil and chicken. Sprinkle a little salt, a good amount of pepper and cumin and a generous amount of chili powder on the chicken and mix well in the skillet. Cook on medium-high heat until brown, about 10 minutes.
2. In a small skillet, melt the butter, toss in the onion and cook to your desired doneness. I like my onions burnt. It adds a bit of sweetness and crunch. My son doesn't even know he is eating onion!
3. Place cooked chicken on a plate lined with paper towels. This will help to absorb the excess oil. Let your skillet cool for a bit and then wipe clean with paper towels.
4. Lightly coat the clean skillet with olive oil. This works well if the pan is warm.
5. Place one wrap flat in the pan. Add about 1/2 or 1/3 of the chicken, onion and cheese to half of the wrap, cover and cook on medium-high heat until the cheese is melted (about 4 minutes). Flip the empty side over, plate, cut into quarters and serve!
To add some zing, sprinkle crushed red pepper on the chicken along with the other spices. You can also add your favorite hot pepper. You can also always dip in salsa, sour cream or guacamole.
You can easily find all of these ingredients at Giant in Abington.

Burrow in contention
9:01am Tuesday 17th April 2012 in National Sport © Press Association 2014
Leeds hooker Rob Burrow could face Catalan Dragons on Friday despite suffering a suspected fractured cheekbone.
The England international was taken off just three minutes into the Rhinos' Challenge Cup win over Wakefield last Friday after clashing heads with Paul Aiton.
Leeds are still waiting for the results of scans to discover the damage but coach Brian McDermott has not yet ruled him out of the Super League game at Headingley and said: "Rob is a tough old boot. He accepts that there are certain challenges in our game that he's got to put up with."
He added: "He's still in some pain.
"The swelling has gone down considerably, which suggests he's not broken it but they haven't been able to do an accurate scan with all the swelling.
"Even if there is a crack in it and it's not displaced, he might be able to play Friday."

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. — Water and bread. Cold cuts and milk. Spaghetti and meatballs. It was an all-out assault at Market Basket yesterday as shoppers jammed the discount grocer in anticipation of what forecasters were calling an historic storm.
Even parking spaces and shopping carts were scare in the countdown to the impending blizzard, which was expected to drop more than two feet of snow on parts of Massachusetts.
"I didn't really want to come, but I figured later it's just going to get worse," said Mari Mendez, in a line for cold cuts at the back of the store.
She could be right. In addition to the snow, which began falling Friday, meteorologists expected winds gusting to 55 mph, white-out conditions and large snow drifts. The storm was expected to intensify Friday evening, then carry into Saturday.
By mid-day Friday, Gov. Deval Patrick had already declared a state of emergency and banned cars from the state's roads after 4 p.m., threatening violators with $500 fines and up to a year in jail. Emergency management officials and utilities were braced for the likelihood of large power outages.
The day before, the ominous predictions drove shoppers into Market Basket, where shoppers herder around the registers. A corner of the store where the water is typically stocked was probably the most crowded area of all.
Kelly Kent had loaded a dozen gallons into her cart, along with a loaf of bread, as she and a friend stocked up.
"I feel like we're really going to get blocked in for three days," said Kent.
Julia Ladd was loading up on her three children's favorite foods, in anticipation of being homebound.
"We'll have taco night and spaghetti and meatballs," she said. "I'm expecting to be inside for at least two days."
But it wasn't all bad. Erin Cammann said she looked forward to being home and doing some baking and cooking for her family - three hungry teenagers included.
"We definitely don't want to run out," she said.

If you're planning on building a gaming PC anytime soon, you will be pleased to know of Intel's upcoming price reductions for some of their flagship processors. In just seven says time on the 30th of August, the Core i7 950 (LGA1366, 3.06 GHz, quad-core) which is currently retailing for $564 on Amazon.com will be slashed to $294, effectively replacing the i7 930.
OverClockers.co.uk already has the processor listed for £234.99 on pre-order.
The 950 performed extremely well in benchmarks with plenty of room for overclocking. Tom's Hardware pitted it up against the 975 Extreme Edition and it certainly held its own against the $1,000 processor.
That's right the i7 is going to be on sale, a more powerful $500 version will be only less than $300 and it's 3.06 GHz right out of the box. It benchmarks well and it's a good card to overclock too. Lots of ppl are building a new pc rig and i've also been thinking of getting an i7 cpu, yet I complained it's too expensive. Hopefully now I can get more value out of it and the i7 920 hopefully wilil even be cheaper now. Just thought I should let others know because it seems alot of ppl including myself are interested in building a new right now.
However I belive the i7 1336 socket is going to be phased out with the sandy bridge architecture i7 cpus and that's why they are dropping the price. You can read more about it here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Bridge_(microarchitecture)
Edit: rumor also suggest that maybe the i5 will be cheaper too, however it's only speculation.

Early Morning House Fire
Aug 16 2011
The Cedartown Fire Department responded to a house fire in the early morning hours of Saturday. The fire broke out at 204 Collard Valley Road around 4:45 a.m. Upon arrival of fire crews the house was 50% involved. Firefighters dis-connected power and entered the house from a North entrance. Fire in a bedroom spread to the attic space and had broken through the eves of the North side of the residents. Fire crews were able to gain control of the fire within 20 minutes. After an investigation, it was discovered the fire was caused by an electrical short in the bedroom wall where the fire originally broke out.

Clinton Supporters, Hold Your Heads High!
by sricki, Sun Jun 01, 2008 at 10:35:05 AM EDT
We're coming down to the wire now. If Hillary is going to take this thing to the convention, that decision will be made within the next week or two. It's my personal opinion that a floor fight would mean certain defeat for our nominee in November, and I don't want that. I realize, however, that many of you do want her to take it to Denver, and I respect your dedication. Whatever happens, it will happen soon. I believe the super delegates will encourage her to step down, and I believe she'll exit the race gracefully for the sake of the Party and the country.
But no matter what decision she makes, remember why we support her. We have dozens of reasons. We support her because we believe her policy positions are superior, we support her because we admire her, we support her because we know she'll fight for us. We support her because we believe she would make the better general election candidate and the better president. Some of us came to her after other candidates left the race, some of us have supported her all along. We have many different reasons, but we've all stood with her and believed in her.
If you've stopped by DailyKos recently, you'll know that many of them are curious about what will happen to MyDD if Hillary concedes. They wonder what Jerome will do, and they wonder what we will do. Some of them will be coming over here to see the "inevitable" train wreck. A few of them want to see silly hysterics and irrational fits. They want to see a show.
Well, don't give them one.
If they come here to gloat and goad us, don't react. Don't give them the satisfaction of watching you lash out. Stand up for Hillary, defend her the way we always have, but do it in an admirable way. If they taunt you, don't take the bait. Don't scream, don't type in all caps, don't rail against Obama, the Party, the supers, or the Fates. If they come to mock us, brush their insults aside. Just remind them that they're not helping their candidate - they harm only themselves. If you see other Clinton supporters behaving poorly, call them out. Either sternly tell them to get their acts together, or gently attempt to calm them down. We must police our own, because we want to ensure that Hillary receives the best representation possible. She deserves no less.
Remember, we believe we support the superior candidate. We are more than the faceless statistics the pundits cite from the exit polls. We are every shade of white, black, and brown. We are young and old, men and women, educated and uneducated. We are heterosexual, we are members of the GLBT community. We hail from different states and different countries, we come from different faiths or no faith at all. We are wealthy, we are impoverished, we are the middle class. We are conservative Democrats, moderate Democrats, Independents, liberals, and progressives. We frequently agree, yet often disagree. We are of many stripes. But we all have one thing in common:
We are Clintonistas.
And we aren't ashamed. We have always been proud, and we have never regretted our decision to support our chosen candidate. We know we chose wisely. Hillary has made us proud of her, and it's high time we return the favor -- it's time to make her proud of us. If we go down, we must do so with grace and dignity. If we fight on, we'll do that with dignity also. We know she'll do the right thing, and we'll follow her lead. Don't let anyone pull you down into the mud with them. Represent Hillary the way she wants us to represent her - with passion and class and decorum. Whatever happens, nothing can dampen our pride, because we know our decision to support her was the right decision.
We must have faith in her, trust her, and respect her wishes.
But above all, we must conduct ourselves with honor, and hold our heads high.

Love them!!
Perfect Promise Rectangle Invitations My invitations far exceeded my expectations! I order 75 and I actually had a few invitations over 75. They came in a cute box. This company was the best I worked with on samples. They really made you feel like your wedding was important to them!!
Perfect Wedding Invitation!
On This Day I Will Marry My Friend Rectangle Invitations My fiance and I agreed on this card design very quickly because it is simple and elegant. We also loved that we could have our picture on it! This card worked very well with our wedding colors (violet, black, and ivory), and I imagine that it would look great with any wedding colors! Working with Magnet Street staff through emails was a great experience! They were extremely helpful. We wanted to move the text around so we could have more lines, and the result was exactly what we had pictured. I am very impressed by the quality of the printing and the paper. The final product could not be more perfect!!!
Amazing cards, low price
Shabby Chic Rectangle Invitations Loved this stationary! Simple, elegant, great quality! Turned out exactly how it shows. Wish I had a little more room to write, but probably would have been too much writing anyways! Magnets were perfect, invitations were just as I expected (and the pearly paper I chose was a great choice), stickers were so cute! Rsvp cards were also great! Highly recommend this website!
Great design and quality! Easy to use!
Seamless Charm Rectangle Invitations The design process was very fun! I got to customize the colors and pictures and everything! They also had a great sale at the time, so keep your eyes open for those! Once the invitations arrived, they were exactly what I was looking for! The paper quality was great and I loved the matte finish! Definitely a great company to go with! I had to reorder more invitations too, and it was very easy to access my account, change the order amount, and send! Thanks MagnetStreet! This is a great wedding resource!
beautiful and fast!!
Perfect Promise Rectangle Invitations My fiancé and I ordered our save the date magnets here and decided to stick with the company for our invitations. Our save the dates were great (we got several compliments) so we knew our invitations would be too. Somehow our invitations came back looking even better than our save the dates!! Customer service was great and definitely read the note with my order. They even called me to let me know they saw it. To top it off our order came in five days early!! I love Magnet Street's products and will definitely be using them when we need birth announcements and such when we start our family!

Nearly one week after seating a jury, the corruption trial of Jimmy Dimora is set to begin.
The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals denied Dimora's motion to dismiss one of the indictments against him. His attorneys claimed the indictment charged him twice for the same thing -- therefore he faced double jeopardy.
Judge Sara Lioi had announced she was halting the trial until the court ruled on the motion.
The trial, if all goes as planned, will start Thursday morning.
Jimmy Dimora has pleaded not guilty to multiple corruption and rackateering charges.

Then, he had to take on who many consider the greatest bowler of all time, Walter Ray Williams, Jr. After that, he had to vanquish one of the best bowlers on Tour, particularly during this World Series of Bowling, Jason Belmonte.
This victory, Norton's second PBA Tour title, was hard-earned and well deserved.
2012 Chameleon Open Finalists
- Jason Belmonte, Australia
- Walter Ray Williams, Jr., United States
- Scott Norton, United States
- Fawaz Abdulla, Bahrain
Belmonte, the top seed and Player of the Year runner-up, was also the defending Chameleon Champion, needing to win only one match to claim back-to-back titles. Williams was returning to a familiar spot for him—the TV finals. Last season was his first in 26 years to not make it to the television show, and he was looking to return in style with a victory here.
Adbulla, making history for Bahrain, rolled nothing lower than a 234 in the round of 16 to move up seven spots and claim the fourth seed for the finals. Norton, the 2011 PBA Rookie of the Year, was looking for a comeback of his own after failing to grab any titles last season. He didn't want to stay on the list of one-time titlists—and he didn't.
Stepladder Match 1: Scott Norton vs. Fawaz Abdulla
Although he wasn't complaining, Abdulla was battling gout during this match. In fact, just three days after qualifying for the finals, he was in the hospital. Fortunately, he was feeling good enough to give it a try, although he was definitely not at full capacity.
Early, it looked like Abdulla was going to have to gut it out for more than one match. Both Abdulla and Norton opened with strikes followed by spares. In the third frame, Norton left a 10 pin and missed his spare attempt, while Abdulla threw two strikes in a row to put the pressure on Norton.
Apparently, that woke Norton up, as he then struck on six of his next seven shots. While Abdulla didn't fall apart by any means, his inability to put strikes together meant Norton jumped right past him and into the next match.
Final scores: Norton 225, Abdulla 194
Stepladder Match 2: Walter Ray Williams, Jr. vs. Scott Norton
Anyone who's seen Williams bowl on TV knows he can be completely unstoppable. When he finds his way to the pocket, he strikes, and the only way to keep up with him is to do the same, which is not easy.
Williams opened the game with a strike, followed by a big-four split from Norton. It looked like one of those classic Williams matches in which one bad frame by an opponent turns into an automatic win for Williams. Then, Williams threw six consecutive nine counts before finally striking again in the eighth.
While that was going on, Norton was throwing strikes. By the time Williams got that strike in the eighth, Norton had already built a lead of more than 20 pins. Not satisfied, Norton closed the game with a hambone, shutting Williams out before Williams was able to bowl in the 10th.
Final scores: Norton 236, Williams 195
Stepladder Championship Match: Jason Belmonte vs. Scott Norton
Belmonte was the top seed, the defending champion, the runner-up for Player of the Year and one of the most consistent performers throughout the World Series of Bowling. Norton was hot, having bowled two games and just taken out the all-time leader in PBA Tour titles. The title match would be tough to call.
Norton, just as he did in the first two matches, found himself in a hole early. Belmonte opened with a turkey and had a 20-pin lead on Norton as late as the fifth frame. In the sixth, Belmonte left a baby split and failed to convert, opening the door for Norton to tie the game with a double, which he did.
Belmonte immediately shot back with another turkey through the ninth, and Norton closed out his game the same way he finished against Williams—four strikes in a row.
With Norton posting a 227 and Belmonte sitting on a 206 and a strike in the ninth, Belmonte needed the first strike to have a chance. Instead, the 10 pin was left standing. The best Belmonte could do at that point was 226, and Norton immediately became overwhelmed with the joy of victory.
Final scores: Norton 227, Belmonte 223
Prize Money
- Scott Norton, $20,000
- Jason Belmonte, $10,000
- Walter Ray Williams, Jr., $7,000
- Fawaz Abdulla, $5,000

Crows and Eville SQUIRRELS love peanuts!
I'm currently at the Foothills hospital in Calgary.
They looked in to a place for my parents to stay but the cheapest option was $40/night.. so I think they'll just continue driving in, and hopefully I won't be in here too long.
There should be more skating vids on both of the channels that were posted. Not really a whole lot.. but a few from when I skated for Disney and such.
I live in a super small town so our mail just goes to the post office and we pick it up so I'm not sure about a flower delivery... but my actual house address instead of the box # is 231 Lyndon Road.
Really - I think she has the wrong person? I have never skated there or at that competition haha.
They upped all my meds today.. taking sooooo many pills. I didn't really move out of bed at all after my treatment so I'm not sure how they're working yet.. pain is with movement mostly but I guess we'll see when I lower my bed tonight! :S
And thanks again for all your support! <3
Hopefully you will find that the treatment is working for you!
Jesse, you're a wonderful skater. It was great to watch the videos! Hope you're having a good day.
Jesse, your skating is amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing!
"I hit him with my shoes... if he had given me the medal like I told him to, I wouldn't have had to hit him!" -- 8-year-old Rhoda Penmark in "The Bad Seed"
Spazactaz, I came across these words recently and somehow they seem to be appropriate to most of life's challenges.
"Sometimes you have to take a step backward in order to move forward."
Please try to keep this sentiment in mind throughout each of your personal difficulties. Hopefully, it will help to strengthen you.
Take heart.
Jesse, I'm sorry to bug you, but do you wants cards and stuff sent to your home address or to the hospital? I really hope something will work to relieve your pain soon...
Jesse, please try to remember that sometimes the doctors can only guess at prognosis. A friend of my parents was diagnosed with Hodgekins (I don't remember what form), in her 30s. They gave her 6 months to a year. I have lost touch with her, but I know that she was still alive when my Dad passed 5 years ago. She would have been in her 80s. Sometimes they're wrong. Let's pray they are now. I hope you don't mind that we multi post. Just want to remind you that we are thinking of you and hoping for you to get better.
Dear Jesse,
From the team at aussieSKATES, you are in our thoughts.
Melbourne, Australia
Adding to all the support you are getting.
I hope that the new medications will ease your pain.
Spaz ((((Jesse)))), just saw your youtube channel. You are a marvelous skater! Sending more positive thoughts and hugs your way. Hoping and praying that the treatments are working. Much love! <3
I have not failed. Ive just found 10,000 ways that wont work. ~ Thomas A. Edison
Dear Jesse, I'm only a stranger (and a FSU long-time lurker), but wanted to tell you how sorry I am to hear this news. There are no words at times like these, but please know that I'm thinking of you and sending you my best hopes and wishes.
Also, thank you for posting the videos - your skating is beautiful.
I remember seeing vids from you back when you were doing the higher-level dances (and I thought, "what? he wants to learn and pass those in like 3 weeks? he's crazy!" But I seem to remember you succeeded?), and the occasional quad or two. I hope that those memories give you some smiles. Along with everyone else, wishing wellness for you and praying for pain meds that WORK.
Thanks for all the comments, plus on my skating.. I miss it sooooooooooo much!!
As for cards being sent.. to my house is fine. Hopefully I won't be in the hospital too long.. or if I am my parents will bring to me.
(((Jesse))) Thanks for those videos. I loved your skating. I hope that some day you can go back to skating.
First of all, I hope your pain lessens and the treatments work for you. Are you trying any experimental drugs?
This may sound crazy but just the other night on CNN I watched the documentary by Dr. Sanjay Gupta. He said that some medical researchers believe that a certain kind of Marijuana can kill cancer cells. They are using it in Israel.
The other thing I came across was Essiac tea. I had read about it years ago. I don't know if it really works, but it cannot harm.
What about mental imaging for a healthy body?
Just wanted to pass along those ideas to you.
Get well, and don't stop believing as one of your skating videos expressed.
Still thinking about you and sending prayers up and as much positive energy as I can toward you.
Jesse, I'm praying for you.
Give me one more quiet night, before this loud morning gets it right, and does me in.
Spazactaz, I am more a lurker here so we don't know each other, but I am joining the others in sending good wishes to you, hope the medicines and treatments work and you will be released from the hospital soon.

Changing Gambling Laws Affect Track Attendance in New York
By Laura Ellis
Attendance at horse racing tracks has declined, and many blame the availability of online betting. Why deal with parking, unpredictable weather, and expensive concession stand food when all you care about is handicapping the race and winning money? As part of our "Track Tech" series, Ryan Delaney examines the implications of changing gambling laws in New York, home of the Belmont Stakes.
"Track Tech" is part of a collaboration between WEKU, Louisville Public Media, and NPR's Innovation Trail.

November 12, 2003 Albany- When Richard Boyd shops at the Food Bank for the food program at the Beattie Road Church of Christ, he knows he needs enough to feed at least 15 families a week.
"The Food Bank has helped us an awful lot because we can make our money go a lot further," said Boyd, the church's deacon of benevolence.
That's what the Food Bank of Southwest Georgia is for. But with the number of hungry families on the rise and donations dropping, the job is getting harder.
"Unfortunately, we're kind of caught in a rip saw here with donations of food and dollars to the food bank down this year," said Executive Director Eddie Byrd.
The Food Bank of Southwest Georgia serves about 115,000 families throughout its 20 county area. That's not coming close to getting food on the table of everyone who needs it. If the Food Bank fed the entire poverty population in Southwest Georgia two meals a day, 365 days a year, it would take 250 million pounds of food.
"Last year, we distributed 3 million pounds of food," Byrd said.
Food drives throughout November will help feed the hungry through the holidays. It's the new year that brings the hardest times.
"After Christmas, when food banks and hunger and families who are less fortunate are not on the top of everyone's mind, that's when we need the food the worst," Byrd said.
But as long at there's food in this warehouse, Boyd will keep stacking it up and getting it where it needs to go.
"You have some that don't seem to appreciate it as much as others, but the ones that you know need it," he said. "And some of them are very needy."
And knowing he's helping is what keeps him shopping.

While July and the beginning of August is usually reserved for coaches telling the media and fans how their team is in the best shape of their lives or how this is the year it should all come together, the Pac-12 yesterday actually unveiled a fair amount of technology related news at their media day event at Paramount Studios in Hollywood.

Lisa Bader—a former massage teacher whose father passed away from dementia more than four years ago. She was inspired to write this poem after looking at emotionally-charged blogs and photos about her friend's dad who has Alzheimer's disease.
As the sunlight gleams on your beautiful silver hair, I see you, dear dad,sitting in your chair.
Dear dad, what do you see?
What do you see when you look out the window?
Can you see the trees that grew from the seeds you planted so long ago?
Can you see the marks from the grass you once mowed?
I take your hand and guide you to the path we always walked.
Hand-in-hand, I continue to talk.
I feel your hand, still so big and rough.
It was not always easy, many days you had it tough.
Hard-working manly hands, swinging an ax, chopping wood.
But also gentle hands, holding me tenderly and whispering in my ear as you danced with me on my wedding day as only my daddy could.
We stop to rest as I turn and look into your eyes. The color has faded from those eyes, but yes, those are the same eyes that would so wisely advise.
What do you see in my eyes, dear dad?
Do you see your daughter?
Do you remember wiping tears from my eyes with your big hands?
Do you remember taking me on the ferris wheel and promising we could see the Blue Ridge Mountains from the top?
We sit on the grass and I take off our shoes as I put my feet next to yours.
I laugh as I blame you for giving me the same bad feet. I look at yours and they haven't changed since I could remember.
Why is it that hands age but feet are timeless?
They are the same feet that ran as you held on to my bicycle until I could pedal.
Your girl did it! For nothing less you would settle.
As we sit and rest on the farm that is home, we watch the butterflies dance around our fragrant, beautiful butterfly bushes.
Do you remember, dear dad, do you remember why we love these bushes?
Is it a curse, is it a blessing?
A return to innocence, so very pure, as a newborn entering into the world.
I love you, dear dad.

PLAYERS: Alexander Ovechkin, Mike Ribeiro, Braden Holtby, Tomas Kopecky, Peter Mueller, Jacob Markstrom, Erik Gudbranson, Martin Erat, Mike Green, Filip Kuba, Marcus Johansson, Niklas Backstrom
TEAMS: Washington Capitals, Florida Panthers, Minnesota Wild
TEAMS: Washington Capitals, Florida Panthers, Minnesota Wild
Alex Ovechkin recorded his 12th career hat trick and added an assist, and the surging Washington Capitals survived a late rally by the Florida Panthers for a 4-3 victory on Saturday night. Ovechkin scored twice from in close on the power play, and weaved through traffic for his other goal, as the Capitals (19-17-2) improved to 8-2-1 in their last 11 games in completing a four-game season sweep of the Panthers. The Capitals, who scored at least five goals against Florida in their previous three games, struck quickly with a pair of goals from Mike Ribeiro and Ovechkin within 1:41 early in the second period. Braden Holtby made 27 saves in posting his fifth career victory over the Panthers (12-20-6) without a loss. The Panthers, who were seeking their fourth straight victory, rallied in the third period behind two goals from Tomas Kopecky and another by Peter Mueller. Ovechkin, who has 23 goals this season, started his night by beating Jacob Markstrom from the stick side following a five-minute boarding penalty to Panthers' defenseman Erik Gudbranson in the first period. Ovechkin tipped in a cross-ice pass from Ribeiro just over a minute following the major. Gudbranson's penalty, which included a game misconduct, followed a hit from behind to right-winger Martin Erat at the 14:37 mark of the first period. Erat, who came over from Nashville and made his debut with the Capitals on April 4, was down for several minutes and had to be helped off the ice with a lower body injury. He did not return and was to be re-evaluated. The league's top power-play producers struck again with the man advantage just 43 seconds into the second period when Ribeiro was able to tuck in a loose puck after Markstrom made the initial save off a blistering slap shot by Mike Green from the high slot. Washington made it 3-0 when Ovechkin maintained possession of the puck despite two poke-away attempts by Panthers' defenseman Filip Kuba and connected on a wrist shot past Markstrom. Overckin then took a perfect feed from Marcus Johansson and sent his patented quick wrist shot past Markstrom for Washington's third power-play goal in five attempts. Markstrom surrendered four goals on the Capitals' first 22 shots. Niklas Backstrom added three assists for the Capitals. He leads the team in assists with 33.

Hey Chevy, Shut Up Already. Chevy Chase Opens His Mouth and Again Rips the Show He's On, NBC's 'Community.' Says Working on a TV Sitcom Is the 'Lowest Form of TV.' NY Magazine
In a recent chat on the UK edition of The Huffington Post, former "Saturday Night Live" not-ready-for-prime-time player Chevy Chase was cantankerous as he condemned his current NBC sitcom "Community," reports New York Magazine.
Chase said he joined the show only for the money, commenting: "It was a big mistake. I saw this pilot script, thought that it was funny, and I went into the room where they were casting and said, 'I would love to play this guy.' Then they mulled it over. Then they hired me and I just sort of hung around because I have three daughters and a wife, and I figured out I might as well make some bread, every week, so I can take care of them in the way they want."
Chase described working on television comedy as the "lowest form of television," but he did throw a bone to his co-workers, saying, "I think the reason I have stuck around is because I love these kids, the cast -- they are very good."
All in all, he would rather be on the big screen. "I prefer movies because the money is better and certainly because you really know where you stand when you are making movies, and I have made a lot of them: 50 something, I don't know," Chase said. "The hours in this kind of show are not commensurate with the actual product. The hours are hideous, and it's still a sitcom on television, which is probably the lowest form of television."
He also listed some of his regrets over film roles he says he turned down. "I turned down 'Forrest Gump,' I turned down 'American Gigolo,' there are many films -- like 'Ghostbusters' -- that I turned down," Chase said. "The first one I did was 'Foul Play' with Goldie Hawn, but I turned down 'Animal House' -- I turned that down. So all those I regret only because they made huge amounts of money and I would be very wealthy …"

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — The Lockport Town Board is expected to approve a new contract for animal control services with the SPCA of Niagara at its Aug. 7 meeting.
Town Attorney Michael J. Norris said the town will pay the SPCA $6,606 for the second half of this year; $13,476 for all of 2014; and $13,746 for 2015. It's roughly a 2 percent increase each year.
The contract will run through the end of 2015.
The current annual charge of just over $9,900 hasn't been increased in more than a decade, Supervisor Marc R. Smith said. He acknowledged that the SPCA's cost of providing stray dog services exceeds what the town has been paying.
"People demanded a no-kill facility, and there's a cost to that," said Councilman Paul W. Siejak.
Town Clerk Nancy A. Brooks said the SPCA will begin to handle licensing for dogs adopted by Town of Lockport residents at the SPCA's shelter on Lockport Road in Wheatfield.
"They used to have that as a service and then it stopped," Brooks said.
Smith added that town officials were very happy with the turnaround the SPCA has gone through over the past year. The facility has maintained a 90 percent save rate since August.
Following a court battle, the city of Niagara Falls and the SPCA came to terms on a temporary agreement Wednesday, ensuring that the city will continue to receive animal control services from the agency through the end of the year.
The Niagara Falls City Council approved the temporary agreement, which will see the city's monthly payments rise from $6,960 to $15,000, in a 4-1 vote at Wednesday's city council meeting. The SPCA had threatened to end services in the Niagara Falls if the city did not begin giving more money to the organization, claiming that the shelter is losing $150,000 due to services provides to the city.
• The board is also expected to approve a three-year contract with a software company, Proserve, to provide information about comparable home values on assessing page of the town's website. The contract, to be voted on at the Aug. 7 meeting, will cost $2,561 per year, which is $50 less than the current software.Contact reporter Joe Olenick at 439-9222, ext. 6241 or follow him on Twitter @joeolenick.

Some kids take up baseball. Some choose soccer. Others basketball. But some kids choose racing as a sport even though some are not old enough to drive.
Beneath the warm summer sun, the sound of roaring motors filled the Hulman Mini-Speedway on Thursday as racers aged 5 to 16 drove their Quarter Midget cars in circles around the 1⁄20-mile dirt track, competing in racing events at The Quarter Midgets of America's 2013 DIRT Grand Nationals on South 13th Street.
Terre Haute is welcoming hundreds of drivers and their families from all over the country at the week-long event for the sixth time the event has come to town.
"Terre Haute has actually hosted it more than any other club in the country," said Mick Landes, president of the Terre Haute Quarter Midget Association.
"I think we've got such a nice facility, we put on a good show, and got a lot of good [club] members," who put the event together, he said.
He added the event has also received support from local businesses, with First Financial Bank as the title sponsor again this year.
Hulman Mini Speedway, according to the Terre Haute Quarter Midget Association website, is the oldest continuously operating dirt quarter midget track in the United States and Canada. It has been home to the Terre Haute Quarter Midget Association since 1956.
The cars these young people drive are called quarter midgets, quarter-sized versions of full-fledged midget racers.
Drivers at the track Thursday ran an average speed of 35 miles per hour.
One driver is 15-year-old Brandon Smith, who won the national championship in Sacramento, Calif., last year.
He is determined to defend his title. "That's what I'm working on," he said.
His inspiration?
"I've always just been really driven to be the best at whatever I do," said the resident of Christian County in Illinois, who is in his 10th year of racing quarter midgets.
Brandon started racing at 5 when he was encouraged to join by "a kid from my school that raced."
"He always talked about it," he said. Afterward, he tried it out, got a car and just found a passion.
"It's an adrenaline rush. When you do good, you feel really accomplished," Brandon said.
And he has learned some things along the way.
"It just builds a great character in a person," he said. "It teaches a lot of sportsmanship."
And he is getting a lot of support from his parents, who accompanied him to the event.
"You just support them. Stand by them. They do their best," said Brandon's mother, Lorri Smith.
Smith said her husband initially wanted Brandon to race motorcycles to follow in his footsteps.
"No. Four wheels are better than two," she apparently told her family.
To which her son added: "Use your head and not do anything that is too wild and crazy to get you hurt. Still, Brandon said, his car has flipped "many times" while on the track.
And these accidents happen when least expected.
"It's [flipping] always kind of random," he said adding that drivers all of a sudden ask themselves, "why is everything upside down?"
But safety is not taken lightly by the organizers.
"Safety is our number one concern," Landes said. Race clothing, helmets, gloves, neck braces and arm restraints are among the list of required safety gear for drivers.
At the track, quarter midgets can go off to the side to resolve equipment issues before a race.
This is one of the reasons driver Wyatt Kennedy likes the Hulman Mini-Speedway.
"They make sure you're as safe as possible," he said, calling the staff and organizers "helpful."
"This is my home track," said the 13-year-old, who has been racing for eight years.
Wyatt started racing at 5 after he saw a quarter midget at the back of a family friend's truck. At that time, he was playing baseball and hockey.
It was new and different for him. Just like other drivers, he started novice classes at a nearby track in their home at Palestine, Ill.
And the sport allows him to spend time with his family. His mother and father accompanied him to the event.
"It's something the family enjoys," Wyatt said. "It's fun. I make a lot of new friends from different places."
One such friend is 15-year-old Skyler Bray of Columbus, Ohio, who stood beside Wyatt as he got his car ready for the next race.
"We try not to hurt each other's cars," Skyler said.
He said they are friends off the track, but on the track they are competitors.
"It's mostly fun. Trying to just win. If you don't win, you don't win. You can't win them all," he said.
"It's a fun thing to do. Sometimes, it can be pretty dangerous, though," said Sklyer, who called himself "a daredevil."
Daredevils or not, Landes said, "It's a very competitive sport but it is also family-oriented."
"The biggest thing they get is good sportsmanship ... and they make friends for a lifetime," Landes said.

National Buy a Book Day
The National Buy a Book Day Foundation's primary activity is educating the American people on the importance of books to our culture and community by encouraging citizens to go to any bookstore on September 7th of each year, which we hope to establish as National Buy a Book Day, and buy a book. By buying a book, as a community, every year on the same day, we come together in support of books, booksellers, authors, and publishers alike. This is the exclusive goal of the organization, and it is funded entirely from public and corporate donations.
Bookstore Sales Drop in 2012
According to Publishers Weekly, the publishing business's magazine of record, bookstore sales declined by 0.5% in 2012. That's down from $15.28 billion in 2011 to $15.21 billion dollars last year. The good news is that at 0.5% it's the smallest rate of decline in the past few years. Still, this is not a happy trend, and one the National Buy a Book Day Foundation is hoping to help reverse.
Non-profit Status
The National Buy a Book Day Foundation is registered as a non-profit corporation in the State of Washington. We do not yet have Federal 501(c)3 status, but are working on that lengthy, complex, and costly process.
Please help us achieve this first goal by donating now!
What "Counts" as a Book?
I get asked this a lot right around the 7th of September every year:
"Does ____ count?"
And that blank has been filled in by things like audiobooks, used books, graphic novels, children's books, reference books, text books, etc.
My answer has always been the same:
You know what a book is, and you know what it means to buy one. You hand someone money in one form or another, and in exchange you get a book, in one form or another. Used books count, of course children's books count. Graphic novels? Yes, please. Cookbooks? Yes.
And does it matterwhere you buy it from?
Used bookstore? Okay. Airport kiosk? Sure. Supermarket or discount store. Why not? Online? Absolutely! Audiobook or e-book via wireless transfer to some kind of an electronic device? Yes. That counts.
Here is a short list of things thatdon't count:
Piracy (aka cyber-shoplifting).
Or anything that isn't a book.
Otherwise—buy that book!

State Pension Funds Can Help Protect Online Privacy and Freedom of Speech
PSN on January 29, 2009 - 1:55pm
New York City pension funds have joined forces with a coalition of investors, organized by Open Media and Information Companies Initiative, to file shareholder resolutions with 10 publicly-held US Internet services providers (ISPs). The resolutions urge "corporate boards to report on the impact of the companies' Internet network management practices on public expectations of freedom of expression and privacy."
ISPs, including major telephone and cable companies, provide Internet to a majority of the US population. The resolutions highlight that these providers have the ability to manage traffic and play a central role in crafting policies that greatly impact the public's Internet use.
"With greater numbers of people using the Internet for everything from shopping to health care, Internet network management and its effect on the user have become significant public policy concerns," said New York City Comptroller William C. Thompson Jr., when announcing the filing of the New York City Pension Funds resolutions. In order to get the resolutions passed, the Coalition will be seeking support from other shareholders; state pension funds, which hold a large amount of assets in many of these companies, could play a key role in the campaign. State leaders can take action to review whether their pension funds are supporting these resolutions through their proxies.

Latest news, analysis and links on UW football, basketball and other sports
Badgers Roundtable: Illinois
Jim Rutledge, FM 100.5 ESPN, Madison: "Montee Ball went right. Throughout the entire first half the Badgers were not playing up to their abilities and that allowed Illinois to take a lead that they never should have had. Despite the early malaise of his teammates, Ball ran angry and scored the only first-half touchdown for Wisconsin. In the second half the entire team followed his lead and played with an edge."
John Veldhuis, Bucky's 5th Quarter: "The Badgers' defense in the second half. After allowing Illinois to score 17 points in the first half, the defense locked down and shut the Illini out in the last two quarters. In addition, the Badgers held the Illinois ground game to just 38 yards in the second half. The Badgers also forced four turnovers in the last part of the game, including three interceptions. One of the Badgers' strengths this season has been converting turnovers into points, and they were able to do that yesterday on three of their four turnovers."
Tim Shovers, ESPN 980, Washington, D.C.: "The second-half defense. As great as Ball was, nobody at halftime anticipated the Badgers pitching a shutout the rest of the way. Chris Borland turned the game around by forcing the fumble on the first possession and Antonio Fenelus continued the momentum with his blanket coverage that resulted in an interception. The game was a microcosm of Illinois' season; surprisingly effective in the first half, absolute atrocity in the second."
Tom Lea, BadgerBlitz.com: "I'm starting to feel like a broken record, but I have to say Montee Ball. Yes, as John and Tim mentioned, the defense was pretty studly in the second half. Based on the way it played in the first half I don't think many saw such a drastic turnaround coming, but UW's defense is still just slightly above average. Montee Ball is exceptional. He continues to will his way into Doak Walker and possibly Heisman contention."
Dave Heller: "Moving Travis Frederick to center and Ryan Groy to guard. Montee Ball ran for 6.69 yards/rush on 13 fourth-quarter carries."
Rutledge: "The Badgers came out flat against Illinois and it was disappointing. I was more upset with the defensive play over the offense because the offensive line had to deal with injuries and the suspect play hurt the entire unit. The defense was needed to make big plays in the first half and they didn't get them. I know the team 'bounced back' but that second half was 70 percent improved play from Wisconsin and 30 percent Illinois being bad at football."
Veldhuis: "Yeah, watching the Badgers let the Illinois offense score basically unimpeded was disappointing, especially since the Illini have been in an offensive rut for the last four weeks. We knew the Illini had a good defense, but I expected the Badgers to handle Illinois' offense with a little more ease in the first half."
Shovers: "The Badgers first-half tackling. There were many times when Illinois running back Jason Ford broke two tackles then would take three or four Badgers for a ride for an extra 7-8 yards. I haven't seen UW miss so many tackles since the '01 season when they missed a bowl game. It also was bringing back flashbacks from the game this year at Michigan State. This bled into letting both Illinois quarterbacks being effective and thus interchangeable."
Lea: "It's not as though Illinois doesn't have athletes. I like those tailbacks, I like their wide receiver and I like the mindset Scheelhaase plays with. Don't just discredit their athleticism. You can, however, discredit Illinois' coaching and the way it utilizes that talent. But to act like Illinois has a bunch of nobodies on it's team is simply irresponsible. Wisconsin got punched in the mouth, on the road, against a team playing with plenty of emotion. It weathered the storm and shut them out in the second half. To me, the defense played to its caliber."
Rutledge: "I feel bad for Montee Ball because everyone got excited about the new Maserati in the garage and forgot about the '67 Ford Mustang Shelby GT right next to it (I'm not a car guy so it's the best analogy I can come up with). Wisconsin didn't go overboard with their Russell Wilson Heisman campaign but it still was enough to take away the hype needed for Ball to have any chance to win. Ball isn't being overlooked because he plays for Wisconsin or in the Big Ten, he's being overlooked because he wasn't promoted by his team the same way Wilson was. Wilson was number two in many Heisman projections until the teams back-to-back losses so a Wisconsin player got enough attention but not enough wins."
Veldhuis: "It's Ball, by a mile. He's just nine touchdowns away from tying Barry Sanders' record, and has been a key part of keeping the Badgers in the hunt for the Big Ten title. Ball had 38 rushes yesterday, despite the fact that the Badgers trailed for all of the first half and a significant part of the second half. That shows a lot of faith in Ball from the coaching staff, as many teams would have abandoned the running game later in the game. The Wisconsin staff stuck with 'MoneyBall' and he cashed in yet again."
Shovers: "The game was on the line on those two 4th and 1 plays when trailing 17-7 and both times Bielema did not hesitate to handoff to Ball. He put the team on his back and now has a staggering five more touchdowns than any other play in the nation. Due to so many top-10 teams losing recently; the Heisman race is close to being at square one. It would take an incredible two-game stretch from him (aka what he's been doing all year) to get to New York, but he's got a shot at it."
Lea: "Yes, Ball is the obvious player of the game. I am going to mention Brad Nortman, too. I thought his 74-yard punt (even though it rolled for 29 of those 74 yards) was a key turning point in the game. When an offense is struggling like Illinois' was, flipping field position like that kick did put all the pressure on the Illini. The chances for a turnover are then greatly exaggerated. Ball won the best actor award, but Nortman nailed the supporting role."
Rutledge: "If the Badgers lose this game it will be one of the worst losses in the last five years. I may be critical of Wisconsin's ability to play away from Camp Randall but at home they play like a top-five team in the country. Penn State is a less talented team than Wisconsin and they're going through a lot right now. Wisconsin should win by 20 or more."
Veldhuis: "This is it. The Badgers could have given up on the season, but they've fought back to have a shot at playing in the Big Ten title game. Luckily for the Badgers, the game is at home. Like Jim said, the Badgers are a much better team at home, and I think the players know they need to capitalize on the second chance they've been given. The Lions' defense is good, but the Wisconsin offense (especially at home) is better. Wisconsin wins 31-17."
Shovers: " I can not believe Penn State has won all but one conference game this year as they come off as very unimpressive when you watch segments of their games. But they keep winning, mainly by defense and clutch play in the second half. As Jim said though, Wisconsin is a power at home and I'd be very surprised to see this one come down to the end. Wisconsin 27, Penn State 10 as Badger fans can pack up for a December trip down I-65."
Lea: "If Wisconsin scores 20 points, just 20, they win this game. I don't see any way Penn State and that anemic offense can score enough to pull the upset. Especially inside Camp Randall and even more especially against a team that has been given a chance to redeem it's season full of what could have beens."

Can Montee Ball get 10 TDs in the last 3 games?Hide replies
Considering the level of defensive competition Eddie, I kind of doubt it. Then again, one never knows. If they get in their true O groove with a few turnover opportunities thrown in, could get interesting.
Wow, just think.... the Badger coaches inability to teach the proper way to handle and/or cover Hail Mary passes is the only thing preventing this team from facing LSU In the championship game. For shame.Hide replies
You're making a couple of assumptions. In the MSU game, if we defend the pass we go to overtime. College overtime is a crapshoot, although I liked our chances in it with the way momentum had turned.
In the OSU game, there's 20 seconds left. If the guy is covered, the QB runs a good ways and probably sets up a game tying FG attempt at the very least. A lot of what ifs with those two games, but they're not quite what you're saying.
And the OSU game was NOT a hail mary, it' was a breakdown in coverage that was partially caused by the QB's running ability.
While watching the game on Saturday, they replayed the MSU hail mary play. As much as I wanted to look away, I watched it. I never noticed this before, but there was a clear offensive pass interferance on the play. I know sour grapes, but watch #3 on MSU, whose face mask the ball deflected off, push down Cromartie as the ball arrives. Cromartie would have been in perfect position to catch or bat down the ball if he isn't pushed. I know, I know, sour grapes and more salt in the wounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uog8jwpCBnc
One answer MD. Pound MSU on 12/3. If Badgers make CC game, we will be seeing that replay a number of times. Powerful lockerroom motivator for sure.
I guess I just want to see how Dirt would handle the hail mary different then what the Badgers did.
MD, I noticed that at the time, but you know referees don't call that stuff in a final play like that. Same as in hoops -- a desperation heave at the buzzer, and two or three uncalled muggings under the basket as players fight for rebounding position. Some explain that phenomenon saying the zebras don't want the game to be determined on a penalty, but by leaving those things uncalled they let the game be determined by an undeserved non-call. In any case, it's just the way it is. That MSU guy would have had to smack Cromartie over the head with a shovel for us to get a flag.
Well...they did let it get decided on a replay, But that is different I guess. The irony is that #3 couldn't catch the ball because he was too busy pushing Crowmartie. That's why it hit him in the facemask. I broke this down like the Zapruder film after I saw it during the Ill. game.
hey dirt, wow, just think. no, really, think. because if you did you would not blame the coaches.
Yeah, those end zones on hail mary passes are like rugby scrums. They'll only call something really egregious. Did like the Zapruder analogy MD. Was there really an exra receiver in the end zone standing on a grassy knoll?
No but there was a magic football.
Good one, MD
One thing not discussed here is Illinois' lack of a deep passing game and/or attempts to throw deep. The only pass over 15 yards that I recall was the Fenelus INT. I can't recall another pass beyond 15 yards the whole game.
UW was sitting in short coverage the whole 2nd half and able to make plays to either break up the pass or tackle the receiver for a short gain. Probably see a lot of the same from Penn St this week, but I would expect a few more deeper shots than IL tried.Hide replies
I do think the wind was a key factor. Said it was blowing at 28mph gusting higher. Badgers passed less frequently as well and didn't take many long shots.
I was sitting in the upper deck and I can assure you wind was a factor. The one time Illinois tried to go deep against the wind, the ball fluttered and was picked off by Fenelus. The wind was a big part of Wisconsin's slow start. They were against the wind in the first quarter and that was significant in the play calling. What was disturbing was that Illinois moved the ball so well in quarter 2 against the wind. Wisconsin''s poor tackling contributed to that.
Wow MD, I had not noticed that before either. Clearly a push on Crow way before the ball got there. Yet another uncalled penalty on MSU. damn
MDBucky: "I never noticed this before, but there was a clear offensive pass interferance on the play. I know sour grapes, but watch #3 on MSU, whose face mask the ball deflected off, push down Cromartie as the ball arrives.

As long as I'm ranting on the zebras ... Surely some of you must have noticed the two-second runoff at the end of the 3rd Q, when Wilson crossed the goal line with 2 secs left on the clock? The homer clock operator just bled off those last two seconds, knowing that our ensuing kickoff would then have to be against the wind, rather than WITH the wind. I saw a mention of this on madison.com, and learned that Bielema did complain to the refs about it, but the refs just blew him off -- said something about it not being reviewable between the 3rd and 4th Qs, but that doesn't make much sense to me. There was no video review. They just basically told us to live with it, and fortunately it turned out to be insignificant, but still.... Does anybody here know the rule on this? Is that true, that a homer clock operator can run off a few seconds after a play, and there is no recourse to correct it?Hide replies
I was at the game and saw it right away. Bielema brought it to the officials attention immediately. They brushed him off quickly and let the extra point be kicked. Then the referee put on on set of headphones as if he were talking to the booth. He took a few minutes then talked it over with other officials. But the ref never gave an explanation to the crowd. Fortunately the ensuing kickoff was fair caught at the 32 yard line. So the mistake cost the Badgers 12 yards. Shortly thereafter Aaron Henry picked off a pass and the clock issue was forgotten.
We lost to that crappy osu offense 33-29, psu beat them with good D 20-14, looking at those results i'd say psu is favored by 10. We should at least play like hungry underdogs, cant afford another Ill. type 1st half.
Once again can the damn D get off the field on 3rd and 4th downs? Can the ST play mistake free? Can the OL control the LOS?
This will be another close tough game and could come down to a made or missed FG. I dont buy the roundtable BS.Hide replies
obtw, what the heck is Shovers talking about?? If we win we "trip down I-65"?? We win we go to Pasadena -- right?
I 65 is the road to Indy and the Big 10 championship game. Oh, and morning line here shows Badgers by 16
AZmike, PSU lost to a Nebraska team at home that Wisconsin beat by 4 TDs, which happened to be the smallest margin at home all year. The loss at OSU was in part because team had major letdown after loss at MSU. Purdue beat OSU too but was lambasted by Wisconsin.
kc; ya i guess i must have had a 'brain freeze' moment and forgot about the champ. game.
tbear, ya i guess that was kind of an offbase way of looking at it. each game is different for sure, and we are at home....so that should make it an even tossup type game. I dont see a 16pt spread, but i'll be glad if we win by 3.
This game will be closer than most people think. PSU ran all over OSU and we were stymied. PSU cpuld run up over 200 rush yards against us and keep the ball out of the hands the hands of Bucky's high powered offense. Also--note to Chryst--you will need to pass on 1st down to set up the run.
