COllege football roundup: Manziel is back with 3 TDsTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | September 01,2013AP PHOTO
Texas A&M star quarterback Johnny Manziel (2) made another big splash after spending the first game of Saturdays game on the sidelines.COLLEGE STATION, Texas Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel served his suspension for No. 7 Texas A&M in the first half on Saturday against Rice.
In the second half he hit the ground running and apparently running his mouth, too as he threw three touchdown passes and scrambled for 19 yards and the Aggies wrapped up a lopsided 52-31 win over the Owls.
He was suspended until halftime for what the school said was an inadvertent violation of NCAA rules involving signing autographs.
His first touchdown of the season came on a 23-yard pass to Mike Evans on A&Ms next drive. Manziel scrambled for eight yards on third-and-7 on the play before the score and appeared to mimic a signing motion while talking to a Rice defender after getting up from the tackle.
He drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after a touchdown throw in the fourth quarter when he was jawing with the defense again and then pointed at the scoreboard. He was replaced by Matt Joeckel on A&Ms last drive.
Joeckel started at quarterback for A&M and threw for 190 yards and a touchdown to help the Aggies lead 28-21 at halftime. Manziel came in on Texas A&Ms first offensive play of the second half and the Aggies capped his first drive with a 44-yard field goal.
Manziel was being investigated for allegedly accepting money for autographs from memorabilia brokers, a violation of NCAA rules that could have led to a much longer suspension.
Notre Dame 28, Temple 6
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Tommy Rees threw a pair of 32-yard touchdown passes to DaVaris Daniels, a 66-yard scoring pass to Troy Niklas and Notre Dame had three quick scoring drives en route to a 28-6 victory over Temple on Saturday.
The 14th-ranked Irish jumped to a 14-0 lead on a pair of three-play drives on its opening two possessions and appeared headed for a blowout. But when the Notre Dame offense stalled, Temple squandered a pair of scoring chances, with Jim Cooper Jr. missing a pair of field goals. An unsettled feeling settled in at Notre Dame Stadium when Kenny Harper scored on a 1-yard run to cut the lead to 14-6. The Irish regained control, however, with Niklas TD with 43 seconds left in the half.
The victory by the Irish (1-0) was the 200th career win for coach Brian Kelly. The Owls (0-1) fell to 2-76 all-time against ranked opponents.
Florida 24, Toledo 6
GAINESVILLE, Fla. Mack Brown had a career day, Jeff Driskel was efficient and No. 10 Florida opened the season with a 24-6 victory over Toledo on Saturday.
Brown ran 25 times for 112 yards and two touchdowns. Driskel completed 17 of 22 passes for 153 yards and a score. And Floridas defense, which ranked fifth in the country in 2012, looked every bit as good as last years version despite losing eight starters and its coordinator.
The Gators controlled both lines of scrimmage, opening holes for Brown and keeping steady pressure on Toledos experienced spread offense. It was exactly the style of play Florida has become known for under third-year coach Will Muschamp. No flashiness. Few highlight-reel plays. But a win in the end.
It was Floridas 24th consecutive season-opening victory, the second-longest active streak in the country. Only Nebraska (27) has a longer current run.
Ohio State 40, Buffalo 20
COLUMBUS, Ohio Braxton Miller threw two touchdown passes before fighting leg cramps and Jordan Hall ran for two more scores to lead No. 2 Ohio State to a 40-20 victory over Buffalo on Saturday in the season opener for both teams.
The Buckeyes, striving for a crisper start from coach Urban Meyers debut in 2012, led 23-0 after the first quarter before the Bulls made things interesting. Joe Licata threw two TD passes and linebacker Kahlil Mack returned a Miller interception 45 yards to make it 30-20 in the third quarter.
Miller was sidelined a second time with cramps and sub Kenny Guiton promptly tossed a 21-yard TD pass to Chris Fields.
Hall had a career-high 159 yards rushing, scoring on runs of 37 and 49 yards.
Wisconsin 45, UMass 0
MADISON, Wis. New coach, same ol Badgers.
Melvin Gordon ran for 144 yards and a 70-yard touchdown, James White added 143 and a 51-yard score, and No. 23 Wisconsins revamped defense throttled Massachusetts in a 45-0 victory Saturday over Massachusetts in coach Gary Andersens debut.
Newly minted starting quarterback Joel Stave overcame a slow start to connect with receiver with Jared Abbrederis for two long touchdowns in the second half.
It was 31-0 with 10:31 to go in the third quarter by the time White sauntered through the line untouched and into the end zone for a 51-yard score.
The only tradition left to put this Badgers opener in the books was for the Camp Randall Stadium public address system to blare House of Pains Jump Around to get the fans in the stands hopping for the fourth quarter. Many in the student section scattered soon afterward with the game well in hand.
UMass was simply overmatched against the Big Tens three-time defending champion. The Minutemen are only in their second year as a major college program, and they had to play Saturday with two of their top offensive players in running back Jordan Broadnax and tight end Rob Blanchflower out with injuries.

Famous Bow Street Magistrates Court to close
Famous Bow Street Magistrates Court to close
Oscar Wilde, killers, prostitutes, petty thieves roamed London courthouse
The Associated Press
Updated: 3:30 p.m. ET July 13, 2006
LONDON - One of Londons most famous courts where suspected terrorists, petty thieves and prostitutes mingle with the ghosts of Oscar Wilde, D.H. Lawrence and generations of killers is closing Friday.
With the end of Bow Street Magistrates Court goes a living monument in the development of British justice and a tangible link to the genesis of the capitals police service, descended from a posse created in 1749 by a former magistrate, the novelist Henry Fielding.
We range from the very trivial offenses begging, prostitution, and the sort of very low-level crime ... to the highly dangerous, and allegations of mass murder and all sorts of things, Chief Magistrate Timothy Workman said Thursday, sitting among packing boxes signifying his imminent departure to new quarters.
That breadth of responsibility will remain the hallmark of the new City of Westminster Magistrates Court, which will absorb Bow Streets functions and staff.
The old court and police station at Bow Street, opened in 1881 opposite the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, has been sold and may become a hotel.
Workman, 63, the 32nd magistrate to preside at Bow Street, says he hopes to take with him the dock from Court One. A padded bench enclosed by iron railings, the dock stands at the center of the wood-paneled room, facing the magistrate and his clerks. The two-seat press box, near the witness stand, has been known to accommodate nine squashed reporters. The public sits in a glass-enclosed pen at the back.
Seats for suffragettes and a Nazi propagandist
The dock accommodated Wilde, the suffragettes Christabel and Emmline Pankhurst, the wife murderer Hawley Harvey Crippen, the Nazi propagandist William Lord Haw Haw Joyce and, more recently, the novelist and perjurer Lord Jeffrey Archer.
Charles Dickens placed the Artful Dodger in the dock at Bow Street in an earlier building in Oliver Twist.
The court was frequently in the news for handling extradition cases, including terrorist suspects wanted in the United States, Spain and elsewhere.
The former Chilean leader Augusto Pinochet, arrested in London on a Spanish warrant, was excused from appearing at Bow Street in 1999 because of illness. The court ordered his extradition but was overruled by the British government, and Pinochet went home.
Lawrences novel The Rainbow was declared obscene by a Bow Street magistrate in 1915. In 1928, The Well of Loneliness, by the lesbian writer Radclyffe Hall, suffered a similar fate.
The first Bow Street magistrate, Col. Sir Thomas De Veil, began dispensing justice from a house across the street from the present court in 1735. His successor, Fielding, commissioned half a dozen constables known as the Bow Street Runners in 1749.
Fielding, the author of Tom Jones, was dismayed by the squalor he found on Bow Street where, he said, taverns and houses are kept by persons of the most abandoned character such as bawds and thieves, receivers of stolen goods.
Criminal voice recognition
Fielding was succeeded by his half brother Sir John Fielding, the Blind Beak of Bow Street, who was reputed to recognize 3,000 criminals by their voices. He created the Bow Street Horse Patrol, arming his men with truncheons, cutlasses and pistols.
The libertine Giacomo Casanova appeared in Sir Johns court, accused of abusing a prostitute. Casanova was grateful to be discharged but confused his Fieldings, saying in his memoirs that it was an honor to appear before the great novelist.
The Bow Street Runners vanished in 1829 with the creation of the Metropolitan Police, who put their headquarters at Scotland Yard.
Bow Streets celebrities are vastly outnumbered by the forgotten losers and thugs and who are the bulk of the courts business. More than 95 percent of Englands criminal cases originate in the magistrates courts; only the most serious cases are referred up for trial by jury.
Reflecting wistfully on the end of a judicial era, the last chief magistrate at Bow Street said he believed its reputation was secure.
I would like to think that most people dont look upon it in awe, but do look upon it with great affection, Workman said. There is a certain sense of security and history. Really, that goes on.
We are the thin blue line
between you
and all the money in the world.
And no you can't have any.
Well it will be a great site for a hotel, but not much parking there.To be born an Englishman, is to be a winner in the Lottery of Life.
I've Talked the Talk and I've Walked the Walk, now I Sit the Sit!
It's not until you look at an Ant through a magnifying glass on a sunny day, that you realise just how often they burst into flames for no reason!

Andrea Colson, the mother of the Maryland woman named Robyn Gardner who went missing nine days ago while on a visit to Aruba, has said that she is hopeful of finding her daughter. Colson issued a statement in which she expressed gratefulness to Aruba authorities and the volunteers who are working round the clock to find her daughter.
Meanwhile, police has arrested Gary V. Giordano, the man companying Gardner during the tour, on suspicion because Gardner went missing when the two were snorkeling together. However, the lawyer for Giordano has stated that his client has nothing to do with the disappearance of Gardner and that he is being unfairly held. Aruba authorities have said Giordano has been held due to discrepancies in his story.
"It was decided to detain him for further questioning on the possible drowning of the woman," Aruban authorities said in a statement.
The disappearance of Gardner is evocative of the unsettled disappearance case of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway. The teenager went missing during her school tour to Aruba in 2005.
According to Aruba investigators, Giordano, who was arrested by authorities Friday as he was boarding a plane to the U.S., told them that Gardner went missing while they were snorkeling around the southern tip of the island.
"We became separated and I never saw her back to the shore," Giordano has said.
Gardner's roommate, Christina Jones, said in an interview that she had her doubts about Gardner going on a tour with Giordano.
"I was not excited about her going away with Gary," Jones said.
Jones also revealed that her friend had made plans to go on trip with Giordano two months ago.
"When she changed her mind, the way he responded set off a firework within my own self, so I got worried when she said she was going to leave to go to Aruba with Gary," Jones recalled.
Gardner had also updated her Facebook profile that she was not having good time in Aruba.
According to one source, Aruba investigators have asked the FBI to get hold of phone records and other private details of Robyn Gardner. Aruba authorities are trying to ascertain the whereabouts of the pair besides trying to establish their activities in the days and hours leading up to Gardner's disappearance.
"I'm terrified," Richard Forester, who claims to be the boyfriend of Gardner, said today on "Good Morning America". "I've been hearing stories about Gary Giordano, that he's quite tech-savvy and is able to manipulate people's computers and track them and follow them."

Mesa Verde National Park is outstanding! It is amazing to think the Peubloans built their homes along the cliffs around 500 A.D. Then inexpiably they moved. You will be amazed how industrious the Puebloans were. I remember seeing the pictures of Mesa Verde in my geography book as a kid but seeing it in person is remarkable. A sight you will never forget! View more scenes in the Mesa Verde Photo Gallery featuring photos taken by "moi."
Durango has some of the best and most rewarding hiking! My personal favorite, which is also a great hike for visitors, is the hike to Spud Lake. It's easily accessible from Hwy 550 north of Durango. It's an easy hike that begins at a beautiful lily pond. The hike is about 1 mile to Spud Lake and the scenery is beautiful once you get there. You'll notice a large beaver pond where you can check out the fallen aspens and even feel the beaver tooth marks in the trees. Once you pass the beaver pond, you're almost to Spud Lake. You'll be amazed at the stillness of the water and the calm sounds of the mountains. It's the perfect place for a picnic or a swim in the lake on a hot July afternoon.
I took a Jeep Tour with Outlaw Tours. What an adventure! Keith drove us deep and up into the San Juan forest to the top of canyon. The view was breathtaking!! Then we checked out some gold mines and ghost towns. The scenery was amazing – wildflowers, waterfalls and wildlife. A jeep tour is the best way to see the Rocky Mountains!
I just love strolling through the farmers market on Saturday mornings throughout the spring, summer and fall in Durango. I get almost all my produce from the farmers market.

My Favorite things to do in Durango are: rafting, hiking, deer watching, eating at Gazpachos, eating at Guidos, fishing, taking the train to Silverton, farmers markets, street dancing, Trimble Springs, enjoying the cool weather, shopping the antique stores.
My favorite thing to do in Durango is have a great meal at one of Durango's unique restaurants then drive out to Vallecito Lake to look at the sculptures carved out of damaged trees from a 2002 forest fire. As you drive around the lake, you will see the tree carvings which were done by artist Chad Haspels. The short 18-mile drive out to Vallecito Lake is relaxing. There are also places to go horseback riding with views of Vallecito Lake. A lot of people visit Durango to go fishing. They fish the river, but never think of going to Vallecito Lake, but I think it is one of the best fishing spots in the Durango area. Check the hunting season guides, because Vallecito Lake also has popular places for hunting.
Historic Downtown Durango is where you want to be. I love strolling the streets and browsing the shops of downtown. You will find lots of great shops with unique Durango treasures.

Know someone perfect for this career?
Well, there's that pesky background check, so preschool teacher is probably not a good career for an ex-convict trying to turn his life around. If your record is clean, your best bet is to get educated. Helping out or volunteering is a great way to get started, but to be a career preschool teacher, you should go to college. Fortunately, there are many great schools with excellent childhood development programs. The job growth is expected to be much higher than the norm (25% vs. 14%) and schools know it. Take advantage of a surprisingly large number of institutions offering degrees in childhood development.
The need for preschool educators won't go away, but the U.S. is undergoing a shrinkage in newborn rates. Meet that competition while equipped with a higher education than other candidates. Otherwise, you can get started as a floater, a sub, or a "childcare worker" and earn about $20k a year.
The odds are also in your favor if you work in a daycare setting rather than a public or private school.
A second language or a focus in special education can also be a huge résumé booster.

i would like to install a leopard operating system on my ibook g4 could that be possible?:)
Aug 20, 2008, 10:01 AM
Yes it would be possible, but performance will be limited if you have little ram or a slower processor. What specs do you have?
Aug 20, 2008, 10:05 AM
I'm currently rocking the iBook G4 with Tiger and am having no problems. I'd suspect you'd have some performance problems running Leopard. Why do you want to run it vs. Tiger? Tiger works fine for everything I use it for.
(not trying to be defensive, just curious as to why you want Leopard)

CITY & COUNTY DISPUTE COST OVERRUNS AT NEW COUNTY COURTHOUSE - Pima County officials say about $800K in water connection costs at their new court complex at Stone Avenue and Toole was the result of excessive design requirements by Tucson Water. County Facilities Director Reid Spaulding questioned Tucson Water's requirement that water lines under Toole Avenue be protected by concrete, and claimed that other work in the project, such as the redesign of a leaking connection, should have been considered routine maintenance, rather than being the responsibility of the County. Tucson Water's Deputy Director Sandy Elder responds that design requirements for the Courthouse project are determined by existing standards for all projects, and that the County Courthouse has been built on a historically challenging site. Both the County Administrator and the Tucson City Manager have appointed staff to research the issue. In today's Star.

You've come a long way ladies…
At least that's what Sarah Shuster '12 (Queens, N.Y.) discovered while researching the 40th anniversary of coeducation at Lafayette this year.
When Lafayette's Board of Trustees considered admitting women in 1968, some of the all-male students initially resisted the idea, saying they had come to an all-male school and they expected to graduate from one. Many alumni also expressed opposition.
"They were more about keeping traditions, and thought women would be a distraction," says Shuster, who is double majoring in government & law and philosophy.
Working with Diane Shaw, College archivist and special collections librarian, as an EXCEL Scholar, Shuster conducted research and helped create the web site that documents Lafayette's journey from an all-male college to a coed institution that welcomed 146 women in the fall of 1970. Of that number, 123 women were freshman and 23 transfer students. The web site contains newspaper and magazine articles, documents, photos, a timeline, and samples of interviews drawn from a collection of more than 50 oral histories, documenting Lafayette during a decade defined by the Vietnam War, Watergate, advances in civil rights, equal rights, and the first Earth Day.
Shuster and Elaine Stomber '89, associate archivist, will give a talk about the web site, "Lafayette: Coed in 1970," at 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 1, in the Gendebien Room of Skillman Library. The lecture is one of many events celebrating Lafayette's 40 years of coeducation taking place during the 2010-11 academic year.
"I wouldn't have considered myself tech savvy before," says Shuster, who will continue working on the project this fall. "I love that I was able to channel my creativity and was so grateful for the help I received from Information Technology Services to make my visions come alive on the screen."
Shaw says Lafayette did try and make the new coeds feel welcome by installing bathtubs in the women's dorms, providing sewing machines, and assigning roommates by size and weight "so they could share clothes."
Despite occasional taunts and threats of panty raids by the male students, the first class of women excelled after posting high school grades and SAT scores higher than their male counterparts.
"It became very clear that the women were going to do just fine," says Shaw.
Shuster says she has always been interested in "the women's movement" which influenced her to work on a project that explored Lafayette's decision to admit women.
"The fact that so many current students are not knowledgeable about the strife that women faced here, speaks for itself," Shuster says. "It's easy to forget the challenges women have overcome, but this is an occasion to be appreciative of those founding women."
Shuster notes that gender inequities persist in the U.S. and abroad. "We've come far, but it's not the end of the line," she says. "There is still a lot of work left."
The project began in 2003 and Shuster is actually the fourth student to work on the web site.
"Sarah's role was to reorganize the collection, create the web site, and conduct additional interviews. She accomplished a great deal this summer, including moving us to digital interviews and posting our first sound files on the web," says Shaw.
Shuster, whose dream job is to write for The New Yorker, says she enjoyed the "historical and research aspects, but was most intrigued by the very personal 'Tell-me-your-story style,' " approach of the project. She's proud that the web site is "such a useful resource."

They kick, they twirl, they turn around.
They swing fast, they swing slow. They move from a v-shape into a straight line.
And they do it all while jumping rope in perfect unison.
They are the Bungee Jumpers, a team of kids who perform jump rope skills that drive crowds to their feet.
They jump rope while doing pushups.
They jump rope while sitting on their bottoms.
They jump rope in groups, in pairs, and as singles.
The Bungee Jumpers grew out of an effort that began in fall 2008, under the tutelage of an energetic young man named Justin Pillmore.
Pillmore had just taken a job teaching physical education at Groveland Elementary, in the Central Bucks School District. He started a morning club so kids could come in early before school to jump rope.
"It was just for exercise, but the parents said they're interested in a team," Pillmore said Wednesday. "I said, why not."
That year, the Groveland Jump Rope Team drew 40 kids, and the following year, about 50 kids, Pillmore said.
Amanda Cigol was one of them.
Now 12, Amanda was in third grade when the jump rope club started. She couldn't wait to give it a try.
"I thought it was very interesting and a good source of exercise," said Amanda, now a sixth-grader at Groveland. "Plus, my friends were doing it and we sort of encouraged each other."
But in 2011, Central Bucks laid off Pillmore and a couple other PE teachers.
Pillmore didn't let that hold him back.
"It ended up being a blessing in disguise," said Pillmore, who grew up in Doylestown and now lives in Perkasie. "We were able to open the team up to the community, and I was able to have more flexibility with shows."
This year, the Bungee Jumpers are comprised of two teams, a select team and a developmental team. Each team has 13 children, who range in age from third graders to seventh graders.
Team members still come from Groveland and other Central Bucks schools, Pillmore said, including Cold Spring Elementary and Kutz Elementary, but others come from other districts, including one boy from Yardley.
The teams travel all over, performing their tricks and stunts at school assemblies and sporting events from local high school basketball games to college and professional sports.
Amanda said the team runs through a ritual before each performance.
"I still get nervous, but Mr. Pillmore always gives us a pep talk, and my nerves fly away before I go on stage," she said.
On Tuesday, the Jumpers performed during the boys' basketball game between CB West and CB South, and on Wednesday, they performed at Buckingham Elementary School.
Their next performance is scheduled for Jan. 11 at 7 p.m. at the boys' basketball game between CB East and Pennridge, at CB East.
Today, Pillmore teaches PE in the Bensalem Township School District. But he remains dedicated to the jump rope team, which continues to hold its one-day clinics and week-long summer camps in Doylestown, at First Baptist Church near Lenape Middle School.
In its first year, the Just Jumpin' Jump Rope Camp drew about 40 kids, Pillmore said. The summer of 2012 brought 500 kids – 100 each at 5 separate camps.
Pillmore chalked up the success to the sport's wide appeal.
"Any kid can do it," he said. "Plus, it's cheap, and they can do it anywhere. You don't have to have a gym; you don't need a soccer ball. You can do it alone, but you can make it fun and exciting with other kids."

Name origin: Latin
Name meaning: True image
Name origin: English
Name meaning: local name for someone who lived in a small cottage or
temporary dwelling, Middle English logge (Old French
loge, of Germanic origin). The term was used in particular of a
cabin erected by masons working on the site of a particular
construction project, such as a church or cathedral, and so it was
probably in many cases equivalent to an occupational name for a mason.
Reaney suggests that one early form, atte Logge, might
sometimes have denoted the warden of a masons' lodge.

The library
I didn't make it to the Sharyn McCrumb book signing this weekend because I was knee-deep in a project. I am moving into a fantastic house next week and I've spent the weekend doing what I call "Making the Red Go Away."
The main bedroom of this wonderful house was painted a very dark, slightly purplish red. Just walking into the room made me feel anxious and headachy. I never believed that colors can provoke emotions until I stepped into that room. It had to go. Now. I did not want to sleep a single night in that tiny, angry room. We decided on a light sage green -- our rather, I took about a week whittling down my collection of about a dozen paint strips to four colors; D. looked over the lot of them for half a second and pointed to the color "marsh fern" then turned his attention back to basketball. Since "marsh fern" was one I liked, I was relieved I didn't have to wonder any longer about how I would feel about "delft china" or "daffodil" in six months.
The red didn't want to let go. It peeked out under the primer, around the doors and window sills. But after a couple of coats, it was immensely satisfying to see it finally all covered up under the green. "Marsh fern" looked a little too much like "Easter egg pastel lime" to me, but after a day of drying, it has darkened a little. Hopefully, I can live with it a while. I wonder if the previous tenants had the same dilemma -- "merlot" probably became "blood blister red" and they were too tired to deal with it.
One of the best features of the house is a light-filled room we are going to use as the "library." Between two avid readers, we've amassed an amazing number of books that end up strewn into every room of our apartment. But moving the book ... not so amazing. I didn't realize how many books (and how many unread books) I owned until I started carting them carload at a time to the new house. So, I have some trading, donating and giving away to do. It is sad to let one go but I'm not the type to read a "pretty good" novel again.
So, I am looking for advice. How do I decide what to keep and what to let go of? Also, when you visit someone's home, do you scan their shelves and make assumptions about them? What are you hoping to see or not see?
I lived in an apt in Highland where I painted a wall red. I remember after finishing it looked so pink I thought I would vomit, but once dried, was incredible and I've missed it ever since we moved out. I can only imagine how the next tennant felt, but believe me, it was better than the once-white with faded floral border that was there before. I hope your green makes the room yours and special. :)
The library sounds fantastic! We had a similar dilemma when we relocated. We had a large box of cd's that had been sitting under the bed for the entirety of our relationship. I know, in our case it was only one box, but it was one MORE box, and a heavy one at that. We had been purging for days, trying to whittle our belongings down to the bare minimum that deserved to be drug across the counrty. We wound up picking out the stuff we knew we couldn't replace, like local bands. The rest went away. The entire collection of Alice and Chains. The Cranberries. EVERYTHING. While I miss them and some of them I wish I would have kept, at the end of the day I think I did the right thing, because as music lovers we have already started a new collection. I will admit our process was harder with the books (and we brought about 5 boxes here), but it's one way to consider going, as you seem to be getting new reads constantly. It may be easier to pick a set number or allot a space to books you want to display, old favs. Whatever fits in the spot, keep. Let the rest of the space get filled while you live and read there.
Good luck, Let me know how it turns out!
I have to say thanks to Teri...we ended up with some of her cast off music and books and have enjoyed them very much.
I have to agree with her philosophy about your books. Keep the ones you love the most and let the others go. I don't foresee you stopping your book buying habit any time soon. I am so glad to hear about your new house and hope you and D are very happy there. Russ and I have a green bedroom and love it.
Thankfully, Home Depot will take our two unopened cans of paint and tint them darker. We're going to put another darker coat on and maybe it will get better. I took your advice and rounded up a lot of novels and got trade credit at Southland Books. Still a lot to do but the apartment is emptying out. Thanks for the comments!
you could always donate books to your sister, brother-in-law and mother.....:)
Can't wait to see the new house. When's the house-warming party??
Here's what you do: You have a book sale and invite all your friends. We come over, tromp through your new house, peruse your shelves and at the end of the day, we lighten your book load. See? Easy.
I love how D. picks paint. At least there was energy enough to raise arm/point finger. My paint picker outer says things like, "Whatever you think." No pointing attempted. "Marsh fern" sounds fanTAStic! My kitchen is "Crocodile Tears," so any shade of green is obviously going to be a hit with me. I'm sure it looks wonderful and is calm and soothing. I never thought about red not giving up its wall space easily, however. Makes me feel sorry for the couple that bought our house Wednesday -- I had a lot of walls in a lot of rooms that were one shade of red or another! Eeek! Bet she's there right now painting (and cussing).
Good luck with the new digs. New houses are so fun!
I once painted the tiny hall in my house what I thought would be a lovely shade of Peach ... except when I finished, with the dim lighting, it was actually the exact shade of Pepto-Bismal. Not so pretty. (It's now "Ecru.")
As for the books, I have no good advice whatsoever. We finally gave up and put at least one bookshelf in every room (including the kitchen) and devoted an entire spare room to books (well, and hats, and my enormous black velvet painting), and still our shelves overfloweth. Periodically, I go through and winnow them out (Do I really still think I might refinish a classic car someday and need this guide? Am I really ever going to read this biography on W.E. Kellogg that has been collecting dust for three years? Why do I have an anthology of literature by gay Jewish writers when I'm neither gay nor Jewish?), yet we continue to bring more in all the time. And now, between my old favorites and our new purchases, we have amassed a gigantic collection of children's books as well! Oh, well. At least I married someone who has almost as many books as I do ... a lot of flat packages under our Christmas tree.

Every life is inexplicable, I kept telling myself. No matter how many facts are told, no matter how many details are given, the essential thing resists telling. To say that so and so was born here and went there, that he did this and did that, that he married this woman and had these children, that he lived, that he died, that he left behind these books or this battle or that bridge - none of that tells us very much.

The agents from Creative Artists Agency had barely returned from a corporate retreat in Ojai when rumors started spreading across Hollywood. Already the town's most formidable talent agency, CAA wanted to solidify its dominance and, as the chatter inside rival talent agencies held, it had pledged at its March gathering to go after "100% market share."
CAA won't comment, but the results speak for themselves. The agency is well on its way to becoming the talent agency equivalent of a category killer such as Microsoft.

This Friday marks the application deadline for prospective superintendent candidates for Windham's SAU 95, which will begin operating in July 2013.
The school district is working with the New England School Development Council to select a replacement for Dr. Henry LaBranche, who is currently serving in the role on an interim basis until a hire is made.
With Windham splitting from Pelham in the current SAU 28, both districts were faced with the need to make a hire. Pelham did so in September, hiring from within when it named Amanda Lecaroz, who served under LaBranche as an assistant superintendent.
Once the application deadline passes, the timeline until someone is hired in Windham will see a lot of activity.
The following tasks on the timeline remain, leading up to the selection of a superintendent in mid-January.Complete/Organize Applicant Files

If this is a controlled exploision - what would a dirty-bomb do?
Tons of nuclear material are unaccounted for. One potential use for this material is in dirty bombs.
A dirty bomb is not a nuclear weapon that creates a large blast. Rather, it is a combination of a traditional explosive attached to radioactive material designed to spread radioactive matter to create an area of contamination.
Potentially there is a considerable range of possible dirty bomb designs. Different explosive materials, applied in different quantities, would generate explosions of varying sizes, and different types and quantities of radioactive material would contaminate an area to different degrees.
The primary danger from the use of a dirty bomb is the explosive blast itself, even if the bomb uses a low-level radioactive source. Estimating exactly how much radiation might be at the site of the explosion would be difficult if the source of the radiation is unknown. The radioactive dust and smoke could spread and be dangerous to health if inhaled.
In light of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, government and industry are trying to placate us by implementing additional measures to provide security against intentional misuse of radioactive sources. However there is so much of it around that it is practically imposible, as engineering industries and health services also routinely use radioactive materials.
No amount of security can stop this threat, the only way is to create a nuclear-free planet.

The Norman Transcript, Norman, Okla.
---- —
When the nation's economy began to tank in 2008, one of the first casualties was charitable giving. Donors held back from supporting non-profits and churches.
Now, a new report says charitable giving shows signs of a slow recovery but not for religious organizations. In 2011, overall giving increased 4 percent but giving to religion fell 1.7 percent.
It's the second year in a row that giving to churches has declined, troubling many pastors and church finance boards. Religious giving fell from 2009 to 2010 by 2 percent. There has been a 3.7 percent drop in support for religion from 2009 to 2011.
Giving to religion is the only sector of charitable giving that has seen a cumulative two-year decline in giving, according to Giving USA. All other sectors such as giving to education, human services, international affairs, environment/animals, public-society benefit and health have grown.
Religious giving remains the largest recipient of charitable dollars. This year, it retains that honor, but the share has dropped from 35 percent in 2010 to 32 percent in 2011.

Got into a debate recently after a Bulls win against a certain team from where I live. The debate was regarding playoff minutes. So it got me to thinking about a common misconception: playoff rotations.
There seems to be his general consensus that regardless of what contributions a team gets from certain players, the rotation must be trimmed down to eight or nine players come playoff time. Hey, makes sense. You want to keep your best players on the court the most amount of minutes possible. But what about in cases where depth is your team's strength, like this year's Bulls? Should the Bulls just scrap players who have made significant contributions to the team's overall success this season just to play the Noahs and Boozers and Rips more? I think in this particular season with the truncated schedule you might see some teams open up their playoff rotations, for the sake of fresher legs or otherwise, and the Bulls will be one of those teams.
Looking at total minutes played this season, the Bulls top 5 most used line-ups this season involve 11 different players. Now, JL3 is in one of those line-ups which speaks to the injury issues of this shortened season, so I think we can say the Bulls rotation goes a solid 10 deep. By minutes per game, those 10 players (Rose, Rip, Deng, Booz, Noah, Watson, Brewer, Korver, Taj, Asik) all average 15 minutes or more (Asik at just under with 14.8), enough minutes to have an impact on the game. I mean, I think we can safely say Omer has an impact on games and thus their outcome. Now, is Thibs supposed to just cut Asik from the rotation, reduce him to maybe 5 minutes a game at most for the sake of playing the best 8 or 9 guys all the time? Even a guy like Lucas has put in 14 minutes a game (including one memorable 45-minute performance) for 45 games! Obviously, if Rose is healthy, Watson should be getting any remaining minutes at the PG and thus Lucas should be on the bench. It really does speak volumes to Thibs as a coach in keeping the winning going while depending on production from so many different places. So now the playoffs come. What will happen?
I think Thibs has to go with what's working. The Bulls' depth is one of their biggest strengths and lucky for them they have a good mix of situational players they can bring in depending on being up, down, pace of the game, whatever. If getting a win in the playoffs involves Asik, Taj, and Korver being on the floor late, so be it. Get the win.
There is another team this year that operates somewhat in the same manner. The Spurs this season are consistently going 5-6 deep off their bench. They have 12 guys(!) averaging 19 minutes or more.
It really does speak volumes to
ThibsPop as a coach in keeping the winning going while depending on production from so many different places.
No wonder they are the two leading candidates this year for Coach of the Year.
Considering their Big 3 are a bit older, they could realistically continue distributing minutes in this manner come playoff time. I fully intend to see Pop using Bonner, Neal, Stack Jack, Splitter, Blair, everyone. I'll admit I'm not watching a ton of Spurs basketball these days, so if I'm wrong, please tell me.
Conversely, let's look at a contender at the other end of the spectrum, the cHeat. This particular team has 10 players playing significant minutes per game (though Turiaf is still fairly new to the team, so really you can almost say just 9 players). While Thibs has players like Taj and Korver he has confidence in coming off the bench, how much confidence do you think Lil' Spoe has in guys like Joel Anthony, Shane Battier, and Norris Cole coming in and playing important minutes in the postseason? What do I mean by important minutes? Well, enough to allow Wade, Lebron, and Bosh to keep fresh legs after a grueling season. That puts them in quite a predicament as I can see the Heat's legs wearing out as the postseason drags on. If Thibs keeps spreading the minutes out and Spoelstra keeps playing the main 3 players over 40 minutes a game, who do you think will be less weary when a potential ECF matchup begins and plays out?
This might be the right time for a team with good depth to outperform a team that might be more talented (individually). I, for one, feel confident in knowing these Bulls players all know their role and their job within the scheme of the team. The consistency of this year's team is truly a thing of beauty to watch and hopefully it's a wave they can ride all the way to a championship. Let's see if they can "
buck bull the trend" and prove that sometimes it's OK to go against conventional wisdom and trust your knowledge as a coach of who your team is and what is their character.

117 On Keeping Current: A Strategy and Some Useful Reading A fool can learn from his own experience, the wise learn from the experiences of others. --Democritus If you read this book, then you know what is coming. It should be clear that understanding how the world operates and the changes it undergoes remains essential to your professional success. It is also essential to the survival of the organizations in which you work. The process of keeping current, of learning from your experience and studies, is constant at both the personal and institutional levels. But this short essay is less about the organization and more about the individual. Whether a CEO of a large company or a freshly minted university graduate, the lessons of the wise and those who do well in periods of change remain as they always have, lessons of timeless quality. The strategy is simple to describe, but like a good diet, one that we must get in the habit of practicing. The discussion following is broken into two pieces: the practice and some great reading.
