March 2, 1998
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has rated performance at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant as "superior" in operations and maintenance, "good" in plant support and "adequate" in engineering, the four areas of review in the NRC's latest Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP). The plant is operated by GPU Nuclear, Inc.
The NRC issues SALP reports for the nation's commercial nuclear power plants about once every 18 months. Three levels of ratings are used in the reports: Category 1 ("superior"), Category 2 ("good"), and Category 3 ("acceptable").
The latest TMI SALP covers the period from August 5, 1996, through January 24 of this year.
In a letter to the utility, NRC Region I Administrator Hubert J. Miller wrote that performance during the assessment period was "mixed." He recognized the superior performance ratings in operations and maintenance, and also noted that senior management of in-plant activities was "usually a strength with a generally good focus on problem identification and resolution."
However, he said the performance decline in the engineering area was the second consecutive assessment in which a decline was noted, "indicating that previous efforts to improve performance in that area were not effective." Significant problems were noted in many engineering program areas, including in-service testing, motor-operated valve programs, the technical classification list process and technical support. By contrast, Mr. Miller said, "system engineering provided generally good support to address emergent issues. The procurement engineering program was excellent and had good management oversight."
The NRC staff will meet with utility officials at 2:00 p.m., on March 18 at the TMI Nuclear Training Center (Route 441 South) in Middletown, Pa. The meeting is open to the public for observation.
NOTE: SALP reports are available on the NRC's internet web site at www.nrc.gov/OPA.

Cyndi Lauper & Friends NYC Concert to Feature Clay Aiken, Rosie O'Donnell, Alan Cumming, Harvey Fierstein
By Andrew Gans
Cyndi Lauper & Friends: Home for the Holidays will be presented Dec. 4 at the Beacon Theatre in Manhattan to help raise awareness about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered youth homelessness.
Presented by Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Fund, the benefit is scheduled to feature the talents of Lauper, Norah Jones, Lou Reed, Rosie O'Donnell, Carson Kressley, Amy Lee, Chely Wright, Skylar Grey, Vanessa Carlton, Angelique Kidjo, Tony winner Harvey Fierstein, Deluka, Debbie Harry, Tony winner Alan Cumming, Cassandra Wilson and Clay Aiken. Show time is 8 PM.
"When I first learned that up to 40 percent of all homeless youth in this country identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender I was shocked and saddened," said Lauper, co-founder of the True Colors Fund, in a statement. "For far too long homeless youth have not received the attention, resources and funding necessary to bring an end to this epidemic. My hope is that through this inspiring evening of music and comedy we can raise awareness and much needed funds to help these young people."
Beacon Theatre is located in Manhattan at 2124 Broadway at 74th Street. Tickets are priced $35-$500. For more information visit www.beacontheatre.com.

Two vehicle accident at highway intersection. Cass County sheriff's deputies and Eagle/Alvo fire and rescue responded to a two vehicle accident with injuries at the intersection of Highway 34 and Highway 63 just outside of Eagle about 2pm.
The Cassgram reports an eastbound vehicle on Highway 34 was turning northbound on to Highway 63 and failed to yield to a vehicle traveling westbound. The vehicle responsible for the accident was driven by 19-year-old Charles Bloomfield from Blair, said Sheriff Brueggemann, and the other vehicle was driven by Sondra McCoy from Otoe. Both vehicles had passengers.
McCoy and her husband Bryan were both transported to the hospital with minor injuries. Bloomfield and the passenger in his vehicle were not injured. The accident investigation is complete.

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo took on gun control, job creation, education reform and high taxes Wednesday as he delivered his 2013 State of the State Address.
Reacting to Cuomo's remarks, NYS Assemblyman Brian Curran, who represents the 21st District including Malverne and his hometown Lynbrook, said the Guv hit upon some of his "deepest concerns."
"With New York's unemployment rate still high at 8.3 percent, stemming from a still sputtering national economy, we need to focus on job creation to put New Yorkers back to work," Curran stated.
Curan also said that the "taxpayers of New York State are feeling the strain of high taxes and a poor economy," and that he looked forward to working with the governor to help lower taxes while providing meaningful support to communities and schools.
Assemblyman Ed Ra, who represents the 19th District, which includes parts of West Hempstead, shared these concerns over the state's struggling economy and high taxes.
"Over the past two years, great strides have been made to improve our state's sagging economy and rein in the out of control spending of years past," he said. "My priority continues to be maintaining this trend by reducing the regulations and bureaucratic red tape that stifle small businesses and restrict job creation and economic growth."
Ra added, "We also need to continue lowering taxes for residents. New York is among the highest-taxed states in the nation and I applaud Gov. Cuomo for his commitment to ensuring there are no new tax hikes this year."
Neither Ra or Curran reacted to Cuomo's call for New York to take the lead in passing serious gun control measures.
Both assemblyman did agree that education reform is needed.
"We need to pass comprehensive education reform to make sure that our children are given the education they need to succeed in the future," Curran said.
Ra called for "meaningful mandate relief" to be accomplished this year, so that counties and municipalities aren't "overburdened and can better provide the essential services we all rely upon." He added, "Our state needs to become more affordable for our families, and lower taxes and mandate relief are essential in order to accomplish that.
As the budgest process approaches, Ra said he plans on working to ensure schools receive their fair share of aid.
"Every child deserves a quality education and I will continue to do everything in my power to make sure that Nassau County schools continue to provide the best education possible for our children," he stated.
Curran also applauded Cuomo's committment to partnering with Long Island elected officials from both parties to ensure that New York residents victimized by the Superstorm Sandy receive the relief they deserve and the assistance they need.
"With the Governor's auspicious plans for New York this year, I will work with him to provide the needed support New Yorkers need, as well as holding the line on no new taxes in an on-time and balanced budget," Curran stated. "New York will be the Empire State once again."

HI I'm Dana. In April of this year my newborn daughter Rebecca Faith was born. We knew from early in the pregnancy that something wasn't right. At 20 weeks our worst fears were confirmed, she was diagnosed with Hypo-Plastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). Basically that means she had half a heart, the left side did not form properly and after birth there was a 3 stage open heart surgery that she would have to undergo. We were sent to Children's Hospital in Philadelphia and soon that became a normal part of our life. One good thing about having a sick baby is that we got to see her on ultrasound every couple weeks. My husband and I liked that part. But as the weeks and months continued we were faced with the fact that our daughter was a very sick baby and might not make it. The doctors and us decided on a plan for after her birth, cause that's when all the trouble would really start. When she had to breath on her own and support herself. After she arrived she was wisked away for her first procedure, to place a catheder in the hole that connected the two top chambers. That went well, and she was soon settled in her own room in the CICU. After she was born though she was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, Rubinstein-Tabyi Syndrome (RTS). It's a severe mental and physical delay and very serious. The doctors were not optimistic, but most of them weren't throughout the whole process anyway. I wish my story was a happier one, cause the very next day after her birthday she passed away in my arms. The doctors told us she was one of the sickest babies they had seen in a very long time. She would not be able to get through the first stage of her heart corrective surgery. Because of the RTS the right side of her heart was very weak and medicine had to used to stimulate it to even pump any blood out to her body. My husband and I decided to remove life support and hold her as she passed. The very first time we held her was our last as well. We were surrounded by all of our immediate family and we all got the chance to hold her even our 3 year old daughter Savannah. It has been a little over 7 months now and I still can't really believe that she has already been and gone. Especially now with the holidays coming and the fact that this time last year I was pregnant with her. I struggle with depression and am seeing a counselor. The counseling is helping but there are days that I wish I could stay in bed and never get up. Of course with a 3 year that is not possible, and I know it's probably good because life has to go on. I just have to figure out a way to go along with it. I would love to chat with someone who has some idea of what I am going through.November 17, 2010 at 10:22 pm #9113
Dana, I am so sorry for you loss. Have you read this blog? http://fierceandfiesty.blogspot.com/2010/10/intactivism.html
Her son died as a result of the same condition just last month. Perhaps you will find some comfort in her words and perhaps other parents who experienced the same loss.
I wish you the very best.

Two inspired-by-true-life operas: Anna Nicole vs. Two Boys
Two of the season's biggest operas were inspired by true events. Get the scoop on Anna Nicole, opening at BAM, and Two Boys, at the Metropolitan Opera.
Tue Aug 20 2013

Tabloid-worthy plots aren't the sort of thing you would normally associate with opera, but this fall in New York, two new operas are based on real-life scandals. Anna Nicole, opening at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, looks at the life of Anna Nicole Smith, while Two Boys, a new production at the Metropolitan Opera (composed by Nico Muhly), is about a cybercrime.

The plan dictated that Redskins rookie safety Bacarri Rambo would see limited playing time on Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
Doing everything they could to shore up a porous run defense, Washington was leaving its defensive backs in a vulnerable position, especially with star receiver Calvin Johnson on the field for the Lions.
So the Redskins went primarily with three cornerbacks and veteran safety Brandon Meriweather and Rambo was caught up in the numbers crunch. He didn't play a regular defensive snap and was relegated to 19 specials teams plays. Rambo understood the reasoning, but for a sixth-round pick out of Georgia expected to play a prominent role this season, the decision still stung.
"It was very difficult, but I just let the coaches coach and I just go out there and play," Rambo said.
But this wasn't simply about the alignment for one game against Detroit. You could argue the Redskins went to three corners because of what Rambo hasn't shown he can do yet. Washington coach Mike Shanahan did not mince words during his Monday press conference.
"When [Rambo] gets his opportunities, he's got to take advantage of it. We're not here to keep his spirits up," Shanahan said. "When he does play special teams or whatever role you're in, you better play it 100 percent and make some plays. If he doesn't play anything on defense, he better play well on special teams and if you don't play well on special teams and you're not a starter on defense, then you won't be dressing."
That doesn't sound like a player whose coach thought he handled the reduced playing time well. But Rambo said all the right things when he spoke with reporters on Wednesday.
"I feel caught up. It's just still growing on me still," Rambo said of adjusting to life in the NFL. "I'm just trying to improve every game. The speed of the game – like everybody said, the SEC is the most NFL-like conference. No, it's not. Because it's a whole lot different. I just get out there and continue to adapt and continue to grow."

Brandi Glanville and her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian had a messy split -- to say the least. He cheated on her, very publicly, with country star LeAnn Rimes. However, Brandi has moved past that and now stars in the successful Bravo show, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The model turned reality star may have every right to be bitter with her cheating ex, but she's not. She wishes him and his new wife well.
"People would be surprised, but I genuinely want him and LeAnn to do well," Brandi told The Huffington Post. "I want her to sell her music and him to be a successful actor. When they do well, I do well. We share children together and it's all about the kids." Brandi and Eddie have two young boys, Mason and Jake, and since Eddie and LeAnn are now married, the finances of their family is important to Brandi, especially since they spend so much time with them.
While Brandi previously admitted that she struggled when her husband left her, she is glad that she didn't take the easy way out. "I could have hooked up with an old man in Hollywood and got him to pay my bills -- it's not hard in Hollywood. But I didn't, I survived by myself," Brandi said, and she's proud of that, as she should be. "I have to admit, the success of the show gives me a lot of satisfaction. But I don't think of myself as a celebrity and I don't think I earn more money than Eddie ... yet."
Brandi may have just joined the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but she's not going anywhere soon and she's even written a book. So she's really setting herself up for a great life. It's so important for reality stars to branch out into other things and it looks like Brandi has done just that.
For more of Brandi Glanville, tune in to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills tonight at 9/8c on Bravo.

Pros – good people
fun environment
managers work with you on your availability
Cons – Hours vary too often
The on calls suck!
Unrealistic expectations
Lots of pressure to get the PLACE card
When they need you they need you and thats it no if ands buts about it
too much of a double standard....you cant be late but a manager can
Advice to Senior Management – I suggest you start rewarding your employees better wages. Without them the company wouldn't be making any money. Also your deadlines are unrealistic and the window changes and floor sets are ridiculous. Your products aren't selling because of a display they aren't selling because they are not up with the current fashion trends for children.

Virginia Tech has hired James Johnson to replace Seth Greenberg as head basketball coach, according to CBSSports.com.
Johnson served as an assistant under Greenberg for five seasons at Virginia Tech before announcing he was accepting the same position at Clemson earlier this month. In a move that surprised many, Virginia Tech announced it was firing Greenberg during a press conference on April 24.
In nine seasons at Virginia Tech, Greenberg had produced an overall record of 167-117, including a 66-71 mark in ACC play. His achilles heel in Blacksburg, however, was an inability to get the Hokies into the NCAA Tournament, a feat he accomplished just once. Since 2004-05, Virginia Tech appeared in the NIT five times under Greenberg.
Johnson was one of three Hokie assistants to leave the program following the 2011-12 season. In total, six assistants have left the program in the past four seasons, as has a director of basketball operations. Many believed this high attrition rate played a large factor in Greenberg's ultimate dismissal.
This will be the first head coaching job for Johnson, who is a native of Virginia.

Arsenal in for Mbia? by Stefan
This transfer rumour should be good for a laugh. Arsenal are apparently the favourites to `land` QPR `star` Stephan Mbia this summer after they suffered relegation and their top earners are being moved on as quickly as possible, a report in today's Daily Star has claimed.
Arsenal do need a defensive midfielder but the favourites for that honour are Lars Bender and Marouane Fellaini. Arsenal apparently made a £20 million bid for Bender that was rejected but that proves that the club aren't interested in Mbia. If those targets are missed, there are Capoue, Kondogbia and about a hundred other players we would be looking at first.

Dedicated to the preservation and celebration of the state's storied past, the Minnesota Historical Society dutifully curates 26 historic sites and museums that help visitors delve into days of yore—from the Forest History Center in Grand Rapids to the Jeffers Petroglyphs in Comfrey and Split Rock Lighthouse on the North Shore.
Explore the Minnesota History Center's collection of artifacts, local artworks, and hands-on exhibits at the History Center in St. Paul, from Civil War battle flags to Prince's suit from Purple Rain. Temporary exhibits include American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition, on display through March 16, and Toys of the '50s, '60s and '70s, opening May 24. Mill City Museum in Minneapolis chronicles the linked histories of the flour industry, Minneapolis, and the Mississippi River, sending visitors through history as they traverse each floor on an eight-story elevator ride that depicts a working day at the mill. As a bonus, baking-lab demonstrations produce balmy bread samples and historically accurate stomach rumbles.
In 1905, the Minnesota State Capitol building opened to the public; more than a century later, it continues to welcome more than 120,000 visitors each year to the home of the state government's three branches. Designed in the Beaux-Arts style by acclaimed architect Cass Gilbert, the building lays claim to world's second-largest self-supporting marble dome, a title the dome maintains by working a second job as the back-up roof of the Metrodome. Within the white Georgia marble and Saint Cloud–granite exterior of the edifice, 67 senators and 134 representatives wrangle with politics while striding through stately corridors and chambers decorated by murals, sculptures, and paintings carefully selected by Gilbert to complement the building's elegant style. Hand-painted arabesques and local flora swirl overhead on the vaulted ceilings, and the brushstrokes of John LaFarge depict legal concepts above the bench of Minnesota's supreme court. Visitors can drop into the rathskeller café, which evokes a German eating hall with restored murals, for a bite to eat and a toast to the health of the state's royal family.
Epic Vow Wedding Photography owner Nicole Daniels carefully pairs members of her shutter squad with engaged couples for wedding shoots befitting each client's personal style. Photographers snap an average of 100 high-quality digital images during four-hour nuptials and anywhere from 200 to 400 pictures at ceremonies exceeding five hours. Nicole digitally edits the strongest shots herself, ensuring that any facial blemishes, lipstick smudges, or ghostly apparitions are eradicated from final prints. Along with a trio of packages, Nicole preserves colorized and black and white photographs by mounting images on hardboard masonite or canvas, assembling shots in a softbound or wave-accordion album, or creating metallic prints.

Keith Law chat on ESPNBy
Lots of Yankee stuff today, including two questions (draft related) from our own Mike A.
Jesse G. (Bourne, MA): How much of the Yankees injuries so far can be attributed to their now fired coach for "performance enhancement?" How important are the stretching routines that players use from team to team?
 Keith Law: I do believe that most hamstring/groin injuries are preventable with proper conditioning and stretching. Whether the Yankees had that or not, I couldn't say, but I do believe that there is some responsibility on the coach when there's a run of similar injuries like this.
brendan, providence: after the first month who do you think is the best team in baseball? i gotta say the red sox. and with the yankees finally having some bad injury luck is this the year their playoff run ends?
 Keith Law: Yes, I'd say the Sox are the best team in baseball right now. I wouldn't count the Yankees out this early. Too much season left to be played, and their offense is still outstanding.
Brian Cashman: Hi Keith. Who should I dip into in my farm system in the short run for Hughes's spot? Clippard? Please tell me the best available pitcher for a month or so and why. Thanks.
 Keith Law: If you're staying internal, Clippard isn't just the best option, he might be the only one. And I'm not very confident in him either – fringy stuff guy who survives on command, the type of pitcher that doesn't usually succeed right away in the majors.
Al (British Columbia): What is the status of joba Chamberlain? I have not seem him play this year in the minors after a productive Hawaiin debut last year. Is he a future starter stud, decent starter or a bullpen guy. Thanks KLAW.
 Keith Law: Out with a leg injury, hamstring or groin.
Mike A. (SD, CA): Any chance Canham gets to the Yanks at #30? Would Arencibia be an overdraft there at this point? The Yanks need someone to be Jorge's heir.
 Keith Law: I've heard reports of continuing arm soreness for Canham, which will definitely push him down, because his status as a first-rounder was predicated on him being an offensive catcher. I'm not big on Arencibia, but I have to cut him a little slack since he missed quite a bit of time early due to injury. I'll see Arencibia at the SEC tourney … if they bother to qualify.
Brian (NYC): Keith, do you see any truth to the rumor that the Yankees could be moving Farnsworth to Philly for Jon Lieber?
 Keith Law: Lieber would be an upgrade for the Yanks, but he hasn't gotten a lefty out since 2001 or so – not an asset when you're facing Boston and Tampa 19 times a year.
Pat(Chicago): Please help me understand. What's with managers (*cough Torre) pulling their big bats for pinch runners in the seventh and eighth?!? What's really more likely, the slightly faster guy getting home instead of to third on a single or that bat sitting on the bench in the ninth when you really need it. This bugs me to no end.
 Keith Law: Bugs me too. Patent overmanaging.
Mike A. (SD, CA): If he ends up being draft eligible, where does Max Scherzer go?
 Keith Law: Great question – I'm guessing a big-market team pops him in the sandwich round, Boston, Mets, Yanks, maybe Rangers or Cards (both teams with histories of taking Boras clients).
John (Denver): What do you think of Igawa so far? He looked great on Saturday but otherwise has been inconsistent at best. Will he ever quit throwing every other pitch out of the zone?
 Keith Law: I think he has to pitch that way. I still say he's a reliever if he stays in the AL East/Central.
Vito Spadafore Jr. (NJ): Hughes or Dice K?
 Keith Law: Dice-K. Come on, you're comparing a 21-year-old who's still developing to a 26-year-old who's more of a finished product.
Pat(Chicago): What do you think of Torre having Pettite pitch on his throw day?
 Keith Law: I love it – but given his own injury questions, is Pettitte the guy you want to try that with?
Chris: NJ: What is the percentage chance that the Drays finish ahead of the yanks this year?
 Keith Law: 5%.

Fuck that chat, here's the real big news.
Tim Lincecum is making his major league debut on the sunday night game on ESPN against Cole Hammels and the Phillies.
I hope Hughes is fully healthy by June.
Can you imagine a match up on Fox with Phil Hughes Vs. Tim Lincecum.
If you love young talented pitchers, that would be sexy. My dick is hard already just thinking about it.
Sorry, but I'm taking Phil over Dice. Just look at what Dice did tonight against an inferior Mariners lineup. When you look at Phil you see dominant stuff. Even if his fastball doesn't clock much more than Dice's, his fastball seems to move more, to explode. Dice has looked closer to Igawa than to Hughes. A lot of junk and trickery, and therefore walks. Of course, I've only seen Phil pitch the game vs Texas, and I'ven only seen 3 of Dice's starts, so maybe I'm missing something.
Per conditioning, I've heard that Manchester Utd went to yoga in the late 90s for their players. That was about the same time that Ryan Giggs, their great winger who had missed months of every previous season with hammy issues, stopped having them.
That is my question. Sweet!
I also had a question/recomendation on that chat about "The Professor and the Madman" by Simon Winchester.

Jill Whalen is a recognized industry expert in search engine optimization. Here are her Top Ten Tips for improved search engine ranking.
1.Do not purchase a new domain unless you have to.Due to Google's aging delay for all new domains, your best bet is to use your existing domain/website if at all possible. If you're redesigning or starting from scratch and you have to use a brand-new domain for some reason, you can expect to wait a good 9-12 months before your site will show up in Google for any keyword phrases that are important to you.
2.Optimize your site for your target audience, not for the search engines.This may sound counter-intuitive, but hear me out. The search engines are looking for pages that best fit the keyword phrase someone types into their little search box. If those "someones" are typing in search words that relate to what your site offers, then they are most likely members of your target audience. You need to optimize your site to meet *their* needs. If you don't know who your target audience is, then you need to find out one way or another. Look for studies online that might provide demographic information, and visit other sites, communities, or forums where your target audience might hang out and listen to what they discuss. This information will be crucial to your resulting website design, keyword research, and copywriting.
3.Research your keyword phrases extensively.The phrases you think your target market might be searching for may very well be incorrect. To find the optimal phrases to optimize for, use research tools such as KeywordDiscovery, Wordtracker, Google AdWords, and Yahoo Search Marketing data. Compile lists of the most relevant phrases for your site, and choose a few different ones for every page. Never shoot for general keywords such as "travel" or "vacation," as they are rarely (if ever) indicative of what your site is really about.
4.Design and categorize your site architecture and navigation based on your keyword research.Your research may uncover undiscovered areas of interest or ways of categorizing your products/services that you may wish to add to your site. For instance, let's say your site sells toys. There are numerous ways you could categorize and lay out your site so that people will find the toys they're looking for. Are people looking for toys to fit their child's stage of development? (Look for keyword phrases such as "preschool toys.") Or are they more likely to be seeking specific brands of toys? Most likely, your keyword research will show you that people are looking for toys in many different ways. Your job is to make sure that your site's navigation showcases the various ways of searching. Make sure you have links to specific-brand pages as well as specific age ranges, specific types of toys, etc.
5.Program your site to be "crawler-friendly."The search engines can't fill out forms, can't search your site, can't read JavaScript links and menus, and can't interpret graphics and Flash. This doesn't mean that you can't use these things on your site; you most certainly can! However, you do need to provide alternate means of navigating your site as necessary. If you have only a drop-down sequence of menus to choose a category or a brand of something, the search engine crawlers will never find those resulting pages. You'll need to make sure that you always have some form of HTML links in the main navigation on every page which link to the top-level pages of your site. From those pages, you'll need to have further HTML links to the individual product/service pages. (Please note that HTML links do NOT have to be text-only links. There's nothing wrong with graphical image navigation that is wrapped in standard <a href> tags, as the search engines can follow image links just fine.)
For the rest of the Top Ten Tips for improved search engine ranking, please continue to page two of this article.

In today's edition, we celebrate number 15, the Ohio State's margin of victory over San Diego State on October 20th, 2001, 27-12. This game was originally scheduled for September 15 but was postponed in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. So, there was some profound, non-football context involved that season. In terms of football context, this was Jim Tressel's 1st year as head coach at Ohio State.
The visiting Aztecs took a 12-6 lead into the half and maintained it through most of the 3rd quarter until two SDSU turnovers gave OSU red zone scoring opportunities. The Buckeye offense wasn't very efficient at the time, so short fields were appreciated.
After a fumble recovery on the SDSU 18, QB Steve Bellisari "led" a 6-play TD drive as scored from 4 yards out. On SDSU's next possession, Derek Ross picks off an Aztec pass giving the Buckeyes possession at the Aztec 5 yard line. Three plays later Jonathan Wells scored a TD to effectively put the game on ice.
Lydell Ross wrapped up the scoring with his second TD of the day, a 51-yard run early in the 4th quarter. Although total yardage was fairly close, 334-319 in favor of Ohio State, the Buckeyes did take advantage of 5 Aztec turnovers (4 INT's, 1 Fumble).
After a brief hiatus, we're back with another fantastic edition of the Buckeye Battle Cry Radio Hour, and it's certainly one you don't want to miss- a special "show me the money" episode.
Mali talks to "The Wiz of Odds", Jay Christensen from the blog thewizofodds.com. They discuss Jay's research into the financial realities of the college post-season, and the impact this has on the sport as a whole.
First up is none other than Mr. Jonathan Wells, Ohio State running back from 1998-2001. Jonathan weighs in with Eric on the recent Big Ten discussion of extra support for athletes, the current situation of OSU Football, and his perspective on Coach Tressel. He and Eric talk a bit about his take on Nebraska joining the conference, and he also lets us in on what he's currently up to, including his Record Label (From the Ground Up Records) and coffee interests.

Valves & Actuators
Devices that direct, regulate or control liquid flow by opening, closing or partially obstructing various passageways, valves are often classified by their means of actuation — hydraulic, pneumatic, manual, solenoid and motor. Actuators are a kind of transducer, typically transforming an input signal into motion and thereby controlling valve position.

Jon Mommaerts, director of the Noquemanon Ski Marathon, received a healthy round of applause at the awards ceremony in Marquette on Saturday night, after he delivered a similarly hearty round of apologies.
The snow on the first half of the course was too deep and too soft. The snow on the last stretch was too thin and too dirty. The Snowbike racers caught some of the slower skiers and created too much congestion.
I was impressed that Mommaerts addressed the flaws in the 15th annual Noque, but he was too critical.
As someone pointed out during our post-race recap, the Noquemanon has always been something of a rugged race, a point-to-point journey that winds through the gorgeous pine stands between Ishpeming and Marquette. The drop in elevation down to the shore of Lake Superior, and the proximity to the lake, create significant variation in the snowfall on different parts of the trail; and with less-intense grooming, it's a race that tests your ability to ski well over and around a bit of everything.
And I've learned that the forecast, even the one I checked just before dozing to sleep the night before the race, is probably a 50-50 shot, at best.
I wasn't expecting to bash through five inches of fresh snow over the first 40 kilometers of my 50K classic race, and Mommaerts and his trail team weren't expecting to groom it, either. They parked their equipment at 3 a.m., only to have a squall dump a fresh batch at 2-inches per hour in the next few hours.
If only it had spread some to the final 10K, which was a typical Noque exercise in dodging, weaving and searching for the skiable track.
The conditions led to slower race times, about 30 minutes for the top classic skiers, and the same for me. I'm not going to complain about an extra 30 minutes on snow, even if it is imperfect.
I agree with Jan Guenther's assessment. "It was the prettiest course I've ever been on," she told the Mining Journal. It is like you're in Sweden and I love winding courses and I love the last 5K of it. It was so much fun."
To his credit, Mommaerts took the blame for just about everything that may have challenged the skiers, and vowed to work toward improving the races next year. He can't control the weather, but pledged to improve the distribution of snow near the finish, after the 30 to 40 truckloads failed to be sufficient last weekend.
He also plans to change the start time for the 50K SnowBike race, after the bikers caught and passed about 200 skiers slogging to the Superior Dome. Mommaerts said he badly miscalculated how long it would take the bikers to cover the 50K, expecting no one to beat four hours. Jorden Wakeley cruised to the finish line in 2:21:29 and more than half the field beat four hours.
I heard some grumbling among skiers about the intrusion of FatBikes on the Noquemanon Trail, but Mommaerts and the race organizers deserve credit for seeking new ways to bring silent sport enthusiasts to their event. The bike races, skijoring, snowshoe race and adaptive ski contest all improve the overall Noquemanon experience and create new advocates.
The Noque is a fantastic trail that should be shared.

Women's ski jumping finally arrives at Olympics, though sexism still lingers
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Here's what I think as a Dad of two young girls: I don't really want them jumping off a mountain on skis. But I'm extraordinarily happy that they can.
There is almost no chance that my daughters will ever ski jump, by the way. Heck they will not start higher than the third step when jumping into my arms when I get home. But that misses the point. What you want for your children are limitless possibilities. What you want for them is open sky. I might not long for them to become Olympic boxers, cadets at the Citadel or members at Augusta National. But I'm glad those avenues, just like CEO of Yahoo or General Motors, are open.
Embedded video_content_type: Ski jumping history made in Sochi
Who would have expected women's Olympic ski-jumping to come AFTER Augusta National had female members, by the way? Who would have expected this venerable sport — they've been ski-jumping at the Winter Games since 1924 — to be the final frontier of over-the-top, Hagar the Horrible, old-fashioned, 1950s, Mad Men sexism? I'm not saying that there's no sexism left in the world; of course there is, plenty of it.
I'm saying that there aren't many times these days when people refuse to let women participate because of the fear that – and I'm quoting ski jumper Lindsey Van here — "our uteruses would fall out." This was a real quote, a real opinion, and not 50 years ago in black and white sitcoms featuring men smoking big cigars. No, we're talking about 2010. We're talking about a time period even Miley Cyrus remembers.
Van and her fellow American ski-jumper Jessica Jerome did not want to become trailblazers. They just wanted to jump off mountains. That was the thing that enthralled them. Like flying, they thought. Like the feeling of when you put your hand out the car window and let the wind take it. The trailblazing was the bitter aftertaste that came with the dream.
RELATED: 14 most memorable moments in ski jumping in Sochi
Jerome's father Peter, a hero in our story, wasn't crazy about his daughter ski jumping at first. Peter sounds like a kindred spirit. In his mind he saw (as I would see) the famous "agony of defeat" ski-jump crash that led off ABC's Wide World of Sports.
But in the end, Dads don't want to stand in front of their daughter's dreams. We want to help make them happen. So he went out, got a non-profit for dummies book, and helped his daughter and Van and a handful of others create an organization to fight for women's rights to ski-jump (and raise a little money so they could train).
This road was mind-bogglingly complicated. In 2005, Gian Franco Kasper, the president of the International Ski Federation, said ski jumping "seems not to be appropriate for ladies from a medical point of view."
RELATED: Germany's Vogt wins first-ever women's ski jumping gold medal
He did not go into any greater detail, which is a shame because that would have made for a great Saturday Night Live skit. It's so wonderfully prehistoric on two levels. One, the obvious one, he was somehow suggesting with absolutely no evidence, logic or common sense that women's bodies were too fragile for ski jumping. It's OK, ladies, you sit here on the side while the big, strong men jump from the mountain. You can cheer. It's like a Little Rascals episode.
Two, you could argue pretty persuasively that ski jumping isn't appropriate for ANYONE from a medical point of a view.
Anyway, Van and Jerome and others had to hammer away at this stupidity for far too long. The shame of it is that while they were hammering, they were losing their peak years as ski jumpers. Van in particular was probably at her best in the mid-2000s, years before her group had made any headway at all. In 2008, she got pretty badly hurt. In 2009, for the first time, there was a women's ski jumping event at the World Championships. She was the first North American, man or woman, to medal in ski jumping.
Embedded video_content_type: Gold medal garners emotional outpouring
She was then the face of a lawsuit against the IOC to make ski jumping part of the Vancouver Games in 2010. The appeal was turned down. Van was broken-hearted. She thought for sure — FOR SURE — their time had come. She broke down in tears and angrily lashed out at the IOC.
The sheer unfairness of having ski jumping at the Olympics for 90 years and not including women seemed like it would force change. Van and Jerome and others had figured, logically, that everyone would just see how ridiculous it was to exclude women. But change just doesn't work that way. "Change," Martin Luther King famously said, "does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability." Van and Jerome and others had to keep fighting until finally the IOC, perhaps understanding their medical stance was untenable and also stupid, added women's ski jumping to these Games.
Tuesday night, the first women's ski jump happened. Lindsey Van was there. Jessica Jerome was there. A younger American, Sarah Hendrickson, was there too (though injured). None of them won a medal. It's probably too pat to say that they were OK with not making the podium, that they were thrilled just to be at the Olympics. They all wanted a medal.
But, beyond that disappointment, yes, they did grasp the moment. They did understand the bigger achievement here. "The Olympics," Van said after finishing 15th. "It's so cool!"
It is cool. The gold medalist was Germany's Carina Vogt, a police officer. She has wanted to be a ski jumper since she was 4 years old and saw men jumping on TV. After she won the gold, she broke down in tears of joy. It was beautiful. I still don't think I'd want my daughters doing it. But hey, if somehow that became their dream, I'd be waiting for them. At the bottom of the mountain. Definitely at the bottom.
Embedded video_content_type: Hendrickson: ski jumping since age seven
Oh, wait, one more thing.
"What would you do if your future husband asked you not to continue ski jumping," a reporter asked Sarah Hendrickson after the competition. Yes, someone really asked her that after the first women's ski jump ever. She was the best ski-jumper in the world when she crashed. She had come back from ACL surgery FIVE MONTHS AGO, had competed at the Olympic Games, had given everything. She undoubtedly was feeling hurt because of her 21st place finish, pride because she was the first woman to ever jump at the Olympics, pain in her leg and hope for the next time. And she gets asked THAT.
Not surprisingly, she had the perfect answer.
"He would not be the right man for me," she said.

There's no surf, no sand, no little deuce coupes and only a couple of California girls in sight of the North Hollywood recording studio. Inside, the 61-year-old architect of "Good Vibrations," "Surfin' U.S.A." and "Fun, Fun, Fun" sits stoically at his keyboard, surrounded by a small army of musicians, and stares into one of two video monitors.
Song lyrics crawl across the screens as the other performers, most of whom weren't born when Brian Wilson's songs topped the charts four decades ago, serve up the densely layered vocal harmonies and rainbow of instrumental colors that his compositions require.

BATESVILLE — Remember when the movie "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" came out in 2003 and we all thought it was science fiction?
Fast forward nine years: Way too many people are beholden to their handheld tech devices.
I don't like it at all.
I first noticed the shift when I stopped at a Starbucks for my favorite mocha at a Cincinnati shopping center.
A few years ago, the shop had cozy easy chairs, inviting customers to relax and chat.
Now it looked like a new age classroom. There were small high-top tables in rows. Two persons were seated at each, either looking at a laptop or smartphone.
But definitely not looking at or talking to each other.
It was eerily silent.
A few weeks later I was back in Cincinnati at Jungle Jim's Cooking School, taking the class "Wok Should I Make for Dinner?" which was taught, oddly enough, by a British woman. One of my recent goals was to learn how to cook Chinese because I really think I could eat that cuisine five nights a week.
I was engrossed in the magic of adding dried "wood ear" mushrooms to warm water and waiting 20 minutes so they could plump back up (and, more importantly, discovering where to find them in that vast store) for the recipe Braised Chinese Vegetables With Tofu when I glanced to my right.
Two sisters who did not look like sisters were not watching the instructor or adding tips to their recipes.
You know what they were doing.
So even though the young women were physically there and even though they did sample the dumplings filled with mushrooms and corn, bananas in coconut cream and three other dishes, mentally they were gone.
My suspicion that many people around me are leading virtual lives, getting all of their information from computers instead of the real world, was confirmed when I read an article about a recent study.
Scientists have learned that most persons who answer e-mails while sitting in meetings don't really absorb what happened at those meetings.
In other words, persons proud of multitasking may not be very good at it.
What I worry about, though, are the younger generations who aren't truly experiencing life.
They are looking at photos of mountains on their laptops instead of actually climbing one.
They are obsessed with the game FarmVille instead of planting and harvesting fresh produce they can savor.
They have online friends with whom they share intimate details.
People they have never met face to face.
When I am telling you a secret, I want to be looking into your eyes for some kind of reaction. Anger. Sympathy. Laughter.
I want to hear your voice, not read typed words that have no inflection.
I know I'm old-fashioned, but I question how close these cyber relationships are.
If my car broke down in the middle of the night and I was stranded on a highway's shoulder, would one of my virtual friends come to my rescue?
