Renewable energy fight delayed in Senate
MONTPELIER — The Vermont Senate is delaying a debate about a measure that one side says aims to strengthen reviews of ridge-top wind power projects and the other says would bring development of renewable energy in the state to a halt.
Senate Bill 30 is being pushed by critics of wind projects that they say have been damaging Vermont's mountaintops without significantly reducing the state's greenhouse gas emissions. It would call for the Legislature's Joint Energy Committee to examine reports from an energy siting commission and the Department of Public Service and draft legislation for action next winter.
Meanwhile, for the next 15 months, the Public Service Board would shift the way it reviews renewable energy projects to give more weight to environmental criteria and less to the need for power.MORE IN This Just InWhen a playwright who has achieved success with dark realistic drama turns his pen to comedy, it...

Joop Daalder, Dutch immigrant, has been an outsider from the first. Raised in a family of intellectuals and musicians, for which food was of no interest, he developed his taste buds on the sly, finding his vocation and true happiness as an apprentice to master-chocolatier Sorel in France. Our story begins years later, with Joop a long-time, celebrated chocolatier in Toronto. Then a super-deli is built next to his shop where three trendy "chocolatiers" steal his clients. The last straw is when the deli's car park is expanded and his shop has to be destroyed. Joop fights against it, alienating his wife and incurring the mockery of his son. In his search for perfection, Daalder's Chocolates is the fascinating tale of the bittersweet life of a real connoisseur.

City Council grants exception for Sam's Club
POSTED: Tuesday, January 21, 2014 - 10:26pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 - 10:43am
El Paso, TX (KTSM) — El Paso City Council Tuesday cleared the legal way for a Sam's Club store to be built within 300 feet of a school.
The store, which sells alcohol, will be less than 100 feet away from the Transmountain Early College High School near Diana Drive and Gateway North in Northeast El Paso.
A City ordinance prohibits the sale of alcohol within 300 feet of a church, school, commercial day care, or public hospital.

The redesigned Inspire 10 Running Shoe is not only lighter than its Inspire 9 predecessor, but it incorporates a new sockliner, a better-quality cushion, and an improved midsole and forefoot construction. With the perfect blend of comfort, cushioning, and support for average jogs or runs, this shoe is best for those with an average arch and neutral foot-strike.
I love these shoes! I've been wearing the Brooks Adrenalines for almost 10 years and for a while I've been looking for a lighter shoe that still gives the same amount of support. My running shoe store recommended these and said that this model has dropped almost 2 ounces in weight from the last model. I gave them a try and I am very happy!They're so light, a nice width (I definitely don't have narrow feet), no weird rubbing or hot spots, and good support. Honestly I have no complaints and am very happy with this find!

In my current working code, I pass the reference of an image from a screen that shows some thumbnails. When the thumbnail is selected, the image id is stored and then used in a new activity. Now, when a thumbnail is selected, I want to store the image id and a reference to the associated video file.
When the thumbnail is selected, it opens a new activity that shows the full image with a play button. When the play button is selected, I want it to call a new activity that will play the video based on the reference saved on the thumbnail screen. I have everything working except getting the video to play using the reference. When I hard code the file name in, the video will play.
here's some snippets of my code.
From thumbnail class:
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent fullImage = new Intent(standard_main.this, full_image.class);
Intent playVideo = new Intent(standard_main.this, video.class);
case R.id.img_standard1:
fullImage.putExtra("Full", R.drawable.img_standard1);
playVideo.putExtra("VideoFile", R.raw.standard); // added to try to reference video for future use
From full_image class:
if (x >= leftPlayPoint && x < rightPlayPoint && y >= topPlayPoint && y < bottomPlayPoint){
startActivity(new Intent("com.example.PLAYVIDEO"));
From my video class:
VideoView vd = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.VideoView);
int vidID = getIntent().getIntExtra("VideoFile",0);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.example/"+ R.raw.standard);
I want to somehow use vidID to replace R.raw.standard.
If I'm understanding correctly, I cannot use vidID because it is an Int and Uri.parse wants a string. I tried converting the Int to a String using toString() but I suspect that only converted the actual number to a string and did bring in the actual file name. I also tried String.valueOf(vidID).
I'm thinking that Parcelabel might be used somewhere, but I'm not following how to use it. One other option I thought was to store all the video names in an array and somehow use this to dynamically create the file name on the video.java file.
I'll keep searching, but any help is much appreciated.

|Patent application number
|HF alkylation process with acid regeneration - The regeneration of HF alkylation acid in an alkylation unit is improved by withdrawing a vapor stream from the HF regenerator tower and condensing the stream to form a liquid fraction which is accumulated in a side distillation zone; the collected liquid fraction, comprising HF acid, water and some stripping medium is distilled in a batch or continuous type operation to drive off the HF acid (along with stripping medium) and the vapor is returned to the regenerator-stripper vessel. The distillation of the sidedraw liquid is continued until the composition of the liquid attains the azeotropic value or as near to that value as desired. The azeotrope, comprising water and acid can then be dropped out of the distillation vessel for disposal by neutralization in the conventional way.
|HF akylation process - An HF alkylation process for producing gasoline boiling range alkylate product by the alkylation of a light olefin with an isoparaffin in the presence of hydrogen fluoride as an alkylation catalyst, in which the content of organic fluorides in the alkylation product stream is reduced by recontact with additional HF alkylation acid after which the hydrocarbon phase and the denser acid-containing phase are separated in a hydrocyclone. The use of the hydrocyclone enables the acid inventory of the unit to be significantly reduced which still achieving satisfactory removal of the unwanted fluoride by-products.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
The Muslim's devotion to Mary, as sincere as it may be, is rendered cancerous by Islam's unequivocal theological denial of the divine Sonship of Jesus, the rejection of Jesus as Redeemer of mankind, and its rejection of Jesus as the unique Savior from sin and death. By denying the greater truth of Jesus, Islam mars the subordinate truth of Mary which relies on the superordinate truth that Jesus is Lord, and all that Lordship means.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Middle East
Keywords: Muhammad, antichrist, redemption, salvation, Jesus, Mary, Andrew M. Greenwell
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) -- Without doubt, the Qur'an gives a preeminent place to Mary (Maryam), the mother of Jesus (Umm 'Isa). It is in fact remarkable that the Qur'an appears to recognize Mary's preeminent sanctity and her virginal conception of Jesus (e.g., Qur'an 19:20-22; see also 3:47, 21:91, 66:12). Some argue by implication that the Qur'an also asserts Mary's perpetual virginity so that Islam teaches that Mary was a virgin ante partum, in partu, et post partum (before, during, and after birth), but this is highly doubtful since Islam does not not give any particular religious or spiritual value to virginity.
She appears, like in the Gospels though with markedly different theological meaning, to be the most blessed of women: "Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah hath chosen thee and purified thee--chosen thee above the women of all nations." (Qur'an 3:42) Mary is an example of fidelity and holiness. "And Mary the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into (her body) of Our spirit; and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations, and was one of the devout (servants)." (Qur'an 66:12)
She is called by the Muslims Sayyidatuna Maryam (loosely translated as "Our Lady," or "Our Mistress"), an honorific title not unique to her and which she shares with three other women, Khadijah and 'Aisha (two wives of Muhammad), and the wife of the Pharaoh Ramses II named Asiya (who, according to the Qur'an 28:7-9 saved Moses, though here it contradicts Exodus 2:7, which states it was the daughter of the Pharaoh, not his wife, who saved Moses from death.) In assessing this honorific title, it should be noted that Mary is not considered one of the Ummahat al-Muʾminin, "mothers of the faithful," an honorific title reserved to Muhammad's many wives. (Qur'an 33:6)
In the Qur'an, Mary's birth is perceived as miraculous, the result of the pious prayers of her parents 'Imran (a likely confusion by Muhammad with Amran, the father of Moses and Aaron and their sister Miriam, since the name has no relationship to the traditional name Joachim) and Hannah (whom Christians call Anne). (Qur'an 3:36-38)
Some commentators even go so far as to suggest that Muhammad taught the immaculate conception of Mary (e.g., Patrick Hughes in his Dictionary of Islam), and point to a hadith where Muhammad reportedly said, "'There is none born among the off-spring of Adam, but Satan touches it. A child therefore, cries loudly at the time of birth because of the touch of Satan, except Mary and her child . . . ." E.g., Sahih al-Bukhari, 4.55.641. However, inasmuch as Muhammad clearly rejected the doctrine of original sin, it is not reasonable to interpret this hadith in favor of the doctrine of immaculate conception which presupposes an understanding of the former doctrine.
There is, finally, no mention of Mary's assumption into heaven one way or other in the Qur'an.
Despite the differences, then, it seems nevertheless significant that Mary is the only woman in the entire Qur'an mentioned by name. She has an entire chapter named after her (Chapter 19, Sura Maryam). She is mentioned 34 times in the Qur'anic text, and so, superficially at least, would appear to be given great importance by Muhammad.
Given the rigorously antichristian position of Muslims in all other major doctrines, Catholics with their sensitivity for things Marian have been particularly tempted to see the Qur'anic emphasis on, and positive view about, Mary as a source of possible inroads into the conversion of Muslims. For example, it was the great Archbishop Fulton Sheen's belief that Muslims, who are notoriously difficult to bring to Christianity, would be converted not through the direct proclamation of the truths of Christ, but rather indirectly, through the "summoning of the Moslems to a veneration of the Mother of God" and through Mary to the fullness of Christ.
The perception is that the Qur'anic veneration given to Mary is a chink in the Islamic armor that allows the the arrow of the Gospel to touch the heart of the Muslim. This is a popular and widely-held perception.
However, in my view, while undoubtedly well-intentioned, this seems to me to be a theological cul de sac. While this view is without doubt advanced in good faith, sincerely, and with the desire to spread the Gospel, it is my belief that it may be built upon a mistaken and superficial understanding of Islam and its understanding of Mary.
The reason for this is that Mary's titles and privileges, which mean so much to Christians and in which Catholics place such hope for dialogue with Muslims and conversion of Muslims, while superficially similar to some of the Catholic doctrines, have an entirely different meaning in the Qur'an. In the Qur'an, they have no relationship in to the Incarnation and Redemption and Salvation which are at the heart of the Gospel.
Mary's titles in the Qur'an and Islamic tradition are theologically false friends.
If Jesus is not God incarnate, the Redeemer of all mankind, the Savior of all men, and Mary not the Mother of God (Theotokos), the Mother of the Redeemer, and the Mother of the Savior, then to what avail does the Qur'an provide such titles to Mary such as a sinless and noble virgin and mother of a mere human prophet named 'Isa?
While Muslims see Mary as the mother of Jesus, the Mater Iesu (ibn Maryam), and therefore hold her in great regard because of their regard for Jesus as prophet only, they do not see her, and--as long as they are held captive by the Qur'an and the false doctrine of Muhammad--cannot see her properly in the order of grace. That is, they do not know her as the mother of God, the Mater Dei or Theotokos, nor as the mother of the Redeemer, the Redemptoris Mater, nor as the Mother of their Savior, the Mater Salvatoris, nor as the Mother of the Church, the Mater Ecclesiae.
For Mary to have any theological, soteriological, charisological, or ecclesiological significance, the Muslim would have first to accept Jesus as the Son of God, as mankind's Redeemer, and as his Savior, and recognize his need to be baptized into his mystical Body the Church. This requires a direct proclamation of the Gospel message that Jesus is Lord and God, and that he came to redeem and save Muslims from their sins, something neither Muhammad nor his Shari'a can do.
"One cannot think of the reality of the Incarnation without referring to Mary, the Mother of the Incarnate Word," wrote Blessed John Paul II in his encyclical Redemptoris Mater. (RM, No. 5) It is clear from the Qur'an that the opposite is not the case. "It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is." (Qur'an 19:35) The Qur'an shows that one can think of the reality of Mary without referring to the reality of the Incarnation. But it is a categorical mistake to think of Mary without giving thought to the Incarnation, which is exactly what Muslims do.
The Muslim's devotion to Mary, as sincere as it may be, is rendered cancerous by Islam's unequivocal theological denial of the divine Sonship of Jesus, the rejection of Jesus as Redeemer of mankind, and its rejection of Jesus as the unique Savior from sin and death. By denying the greater truth of Jesus, Islam mars the subordinate truth of Mary which relies on the superordinate truth that Jesus is Lord, and all that Lordship means.
The Church could not be clearer that our understanding of Mary is directly related to our understanding of Jesus Christ. The Catechism, for example, states:
"The 'splendor of an entirely unique holiness' by which Mary is 'enriched from the first instant of her conception' comes wholly from Christ: she is 'redeemed, in a more exalted fashion, by reason of the merits of her Son.' (LG 53, 56) The Father blessed Mary more than any other created person 'in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places' and chose her 'in Christ before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless before him in love.'" (Eph. 1:3-4) (CCC � 492)
Mary's response to the angel Gabriel in the Qur'an is not Christocentric. It is not, as it is in the Gospel: "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be [done] to me according to your word." (Luke 1:28-38). As the Catechism explains this verse: "Thus, giving her consent to God's word, Mary becomes the mother of Jesus. Espousing the divine will for salvation wholeheartedly, without a single sin to restrain her, she gave herself entirely to the person and to the work of her Son; she did so in order to serve the mystery of redemption with him and dependent on him, by God's grace." (CCC � 494)
Quoting St. Augustine, the Catholic Catechism observes something essential about Mary which we ought not to forget. "Mary is more blessed because she embraces faith in Christ than because she conceives the flesh of Christ." (CCC � 506) It is the entire first half of St. Augustine's sentence that Muhammad rejects.
Mary's faith informs our faith, is in fact a model for it: As Blessed John Paul II explains in his encyclical on Mary: "Another essential element of Mary's maternal task is found in her words to the servants: "Do whatever he tells you." [John 2:5] The Mother of Christ presents herself as the spokeswoman of her Son's will, pointing out those things which must be done so that the salvific power of the Messiah may be manifested." (RM, 21) This is absent in the Qur'an. In the Qur'an, Mary has no faith in Christ as the Son of God, as her Redeemer, as her Savior, and the Mary of the Qur'an does not tell us to do whatever Christ tells us.
The Mary in the Qur'an is not the Mater Fidei and Mater Fidelium, the Mother of Faith and of the Christian Faithful. The Mary of the Qur'an is a Muslimah, a Muslim, not a Christian. "O Mary! worship thy Lord devoutly: Prostrate thyself, and bow down (in prayer) with those who bow down.'" (Quran 3:42-43). She prays to Allah, not to the Holy Trinity.
The Catholic devotional rule ad Iesum per Mariam, as promoted by St. Louis de Montfort among others saints and spiritual guides, works marvelously well, as those who are devoted to Mary (including this author) know. But it is a rule for Christians, not for non-Christians.
The crucial key to the efficacy of the formula ad Iesum per Mariam is that the Marian devotion has to be authentic. In other words, it already presumes a deep attachment and faith in Jesus as God, as Redeemer, and as Savior.
As Blessed John Paul II, a Christian with impeccable Marian credentials, wrote in his Letter to the Montfort Religious Family, "[a]uthentic Marian devotion is Christocentric." (Monfort Letter, No. 2) The Catechism's presentation is crisp and succinct: "What the Catholic faith believes about Mary is based on what it believes about Christ, and what it teaches about Mary illumines in turn its faith in Christ." (CCC � 487)
What Islam believes about Mary is based upon what it believes about Jesus, and what it teaches about Mary illumines its belief about Jesus. So it turns out that we are dealing with two completely different Marys, one true and one false, just like we are dealing with two completely different Christs, one true and one false. To the extent that Islam's view of Jesus is motivated by the spirit of antichrist--a position amply proved by prior articles in this series--Islam's view of Mary is motivated by a like spirit.
As Blessed John Paul II pointed out in his Marian encyclical Redemptoris Mater, "If it is true, as the Council itself proclaims, that "only in the mystery of the Incarnate Word does the mystery of man take on light," then this principle must be applied in a very particular way to that exceptional "daughter of the human race," that extraordinary "woman" who became the Mother of Christ. Only in the mystery of Christ is her mystery fully made clear." (No. 4)
The Catechism wonderfully expounds on the "mystery of Christ" in sections 512-70. Yet it is the very "mystery of the Incarnate Word" that Muhammad rejected, and the Mary of the Qur'an has no attachment--none at all--with the mystery of the Incarnate Word.
The rejection of the "mystery of the Incarnate Word" has more than Mariological ramifications. It also has Trinitarian effects. This relationship of of Mary to Christ the Incarnate Word is essential in devotion to her as it is Trinitarian only with this link. "Mary's total relativity to Christ and through him," leads us "to the Blessed Trinity." (Montfort Letter, No. 3) Authentic devotion to Mary is inextricably tied to devotion to Jesus as the Incarnate Word and through the Incarnate Word to the Blessed Trinity.
The Muslim devotion to Mary, while sincerely held, is not authentic because it has no tie--none at all--to Jesus as the Incarnate Word, the Redeemer of the world, and the Savior of all mankind. It has therefore no Trinitarian tie-in which would make it authentic "St Louis Marie expresses the Trinitarian dimension of his relationship with God: "Hail Mary, beloved Daughter of the Eternal Father! Hail Mary, admirable Mother of the Son! Hail Mary, faithful Spouse of the Holy Spirit!" (The Secret of Mary, p. 71). (quoted in Montfort Letter, No. 3) To a Muslim, each one of these utterances is blasphemous, infected by the worst of sins, one that is taught will send you to hell: shirk. That's how far apart the Muslim Mary is from the Christian Mary.
The Muslim view of Mary is no closer to Catholicism than the Muslim view of Jesus, which means theologically they are worlds apart. In my view, Muhammad's concessions to Jesus and to Mary in the Qur'an are nothing less an exploitation and perversion of the Gospel calculated to persuade or finagle simple Christians into his greater theological system. When that failed, Muhammad turned to violence.
Succinctly put, the antichrist Mary in the Qur'an is a Trojan Horse. With respect to the Mary of Islam, we might paraphrase Virgil:
Timeo Mahometanos et dona ferentes.
Beware of Mohammedans bearing gifts.

A.L. school officials should thank studentsPublished 9:09am Friday, April 22, 2011
Column: Guest Column
As an Albert Lea High School graduate, I was glad to see how aggressively parents and students questioned and opposed cuts to the Albert Lea band program.
Whether the cuts the school board made prove to be the right decision is beside the point. What was important was that the community, including many young people, got involved in the process.
The school board and Superintendent Mike Funk should commend the parents, and even more so the students, for voicing their disagreement.
As a reporter, I've sat through many public meetings where important decisions made where the audience seats were all empty.
I've heard countless complaints from parents, administrators and teachers that students don't get involved and that they devote too much time to video games and other idle entertainment. Students became involved here and showed they care about their education. School officials ought to express their respect for that.
Yet appreciation for student involvement has not been evident. Funk was quoted in the Tribune as saying, "People in Albert Lea are passionate about their fine arts. Passion can be a great thing when properly harnessed."
Such a statement implies — perhaps intentionally, perhaps not — that the students and parents who voiced their opinions were misguided in questioning the board's decision.
Questioning the decisions of public officials is never misguided, and it almost always shows a passion deserving of respect. Such passion and involvement should be welcomed, especially during difficult economic times.
Even though the board may not have heard students' and parents' complaints this time, that shouldn't discourage them from attending the next board meeting and the meeting after that. Don't hesitate to voice your opinion again or disagree with the decision.
I hope the students speak even louder next time the school board, city council or county board make a decision that will affect them.
Jason Schoonover is a 2005 graduate of Albert Lea High School and a reporter at the Austin Daily Herald.

Natural sleep aids may not help much
DEAR DOCTOR K: I'm a woman in my 60s who struggles with insomnia. A friend recommended melatonin. What do you think of this and other natural sleep aids?
DEAR READER: Many of my patients have trouble with insomnia. Now and then, so do I. There are different types of sleep problems, each treated differently. People can have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or waking up tired.
Like you, some of my patients are interested in natural sleep remedies. The most commonly used herbal sleep aid is valerian root. Some studies suggest that valerian is mildly sedating and can help people fall asleep and improve their sleep quality. But the evidence is mixed. An analysis of multiple studies of valerian's effect on sleep published in 2010 concluded that people fell asleep only about a minute sooner than with a sugar pill. There also is some risk of liver damage from valerian, and some women report headaches after using the herb.
Another popular natural sleep aid is the one you mentioned, melatonin, which is a hormone made in the brain. It influences body temperature, sleep and daily body rhythms (circadian rhythms). The question is whether melatonin taken as a pill can help with sleep.
For most types of sleep problems, I don't think melatonin has been shown in scientific studies to help sleep. Over-the-counter melatonin is sold as a food supplement in the United States, and like valerian, its manufacture is not regulated.
One condition where melatonin may help sleep is in older adults. People over 60 with insomnia often have lower levels of nighttime melatonin (as measured in the urine) than those without insomnia. Some studies have found that such people may sleep better if they take melatonin supplements. I would check with a sleep specialist if you're interested in pursuing this treatment.

Hometown festival was a flop
Our hometown festival this year, our annual Riverboat Days, was a flop, too. Always before it has been terrific- lots of people, lots of entertainment and vendors, etc. This year there wasn't anything in the way of entertainment, and the vendors were slim. We lost money on this- only took in about $50 but by the time you count the $20 booth fee and our food expenses and other misc. stuff, we came out on the losing end. It was our first show, and if everyone else there hadn't done so badly (we actually did better than some others) I would have been ready to give up the whole thing. However, I have several other festivals and events coming up, and I sure hope they do better. I won't be doing Riverboat Days again. On the other hand, the city wide yard sale associated with Riverboat Days did real well. I think I would have been better off to participate in that (not to mention it would have been much handier, being at home), and it was free. Next year that is what I will do- the heck with being downtown all day for two days in a row doing NOTHING.

Embattled Eagles, Andy Reid stay the course
"We appreciate everything that Jason has given this team over the last couple of years," Reid said. "We wish him all the best as he continues his career. This gives us an opportunity to give more playing time to some of younger guys in the defensive line rotation."
Things aren't going to get any easier. Injuries are piling up, especially on the offensive side.
Wide receiver DeSean Jackson was placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season after sustaining multiple rib fractures on a running play against Carolina. Jackson led the team with 45 catches and 700 yards receiving, but only had two touchdowns.
Michael Vick missed his second straight game because of a concussion and still hasn't passed the final test to be cleared to practice. Rookie Nick Foles hasn't shown much in 2½ games to prove he can be the quarterback of the future. But he'll likely have another opportunity against the Cowboys.
LeSean McCoy remains in Phase 1 of his concussion recovery, so he's a longshot to play at Dallas. Rookie seventh-round pick Bryce Brown had 178 yards rushing and two touchdowns against the Panthers, but also lost two fumbles.
"I thought I did well, definitely thought I could have done a little bit better," Brown said. "The two turnovers I had, I think cost us the game, so I'm not happy about that."
On defense, it's been a nightmare the past five games. The Eagles have allowed five straight quarterbacks to post a passer rating of at least 120 since Todd Bowles replaced Juan Castillo as defensive coordinator. They've given up 13 touchdown passes and have zero interceptions in those five games.
There have been several blown coverages in the secondary, leading to big plays. Both of Cam Newton's TD passes were to wide open receivers.
"Everybody has to do their own job and everybody has to look at themselves in the mirror and try to get something done," Bowles said. "If you can't look at yourself in the mirror, then you're not the guy you thought you were."

ECT125 Parallel AC Circuit Analysis The following are example problems calculated for parallel AC circuits. They include parallel RL, LC, and RLC circuits. The equivalent series circuit will be shown for all three configurations. An RC parallel combination circuit is not shown, but using the process for the RL circuit, you should be able to calculate an example of your own. The procedures shown are for calculating ZT. You should be able to calculate total current, individual component currents, component powers, and the apparent power(PA) for the circuit. Practice putting all of your answers in polar and rectangular form and use the branch currents to verify Kirchoffs current law for total current in the circuit. Make sure you include your angles with the current values you calculate and put proper units on circuit parameters. Enjoy! Example 1 : Find ZT for the circuit shown.

Complete coverage of Virginia-Virginia Tech
Of all the memories and grand moments that could've flashed through Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor's head as he stepped off the Lane Stadium field Saturday for the final time, he chose to keep it simple.
Firsts are rare when a football rivalry dates to 1895, but Virginia Tech made history Saturday with its beatdown of Virginia.
Tyrod Taylor reacted with the humility we've come to expect in breaking Bryan Randall's career passing yards record at Virginia Tech.
BLACKSBURG – When Virginia offensive coordinator Bill Lazor evaluates what he has returning after Saturday's 37-7 loss to No. 13 Virginia Tech, there's going to be one enormous glaring void that will dominate more of his offseason attention than any other position.
Sitting in a computer class during his sophomore year at Hampton High School, Tyrod Taylor loosened the long braids he had in his hair, watched the clock and waited for class to end.
In the 2005 state championship game, Oakton High's Keith Payne dominated Landstown's Percy Harvin.
BLACKSBURG – If there was anything that frustrated Ryan Williams most about the torn left hamstring he had to deal with for nearly half of the season, it was not having a clue when it would give out next. Now, with those episodes in the past, Williams is anticipating an interesting...
Mike London is the third Virginia football coach to take his swings at Virginia Tech's Frank Beamer. George Welsh was 8-6, Al Groh 1-8.

first AVSA magazines from 1947 & 48..
I thought this is interesting...looking thu some of the magazines I have I came across these first 3 ..very small (9 pages)and no color pictures ..The formula for potting soil in 1947 was 3 parts heavy rich black soil,1 part peat,1 part rotted manure,1 part compost or rotted leaves..and if soil is heavy add at least 3 parts sand.Add charcol if you like.They recommend growing in north or east window...
I'm surprised to see a photograph in the magazine simply because most of the pictures of AV's at that time were drawings. I also remember an Aunt of mine who had one of these new plants called African Violets. That was during the early 40's. She kept it in a clay pot and the mix was dark and heavy looking. I never got to pick it up because the plant was delicate, in fact you couldn't even breathe on it. I remember she had it on a small table in the corner of the room well away from any light source. I sometimes wonder what she would think of todays hybrids and the way we handle them.
Fred in NJ
Those issues would sell well on ebay. I have the very first issue as a reward for writing articles for the magazine.
When those growers used garden loam in the soil they sometimes got nematodes which was their worst pest. Now we don't use garden loam and I haven't heard of anyone getting nematodes for more than 25 years.

How much is the College Football Playoff paying out to conferences? Continue reading
College Football Playoff: Conference Payouts
UPDATE: ACC, SEC, Big XII, Sun Belt, Pac-12 and Big Ten distribution has been added below. Additional conference models will be added as available.
Last week, I shared the revenue distribution model for the first year of the College Football Playoff. Now that pairings have been announced, we know how it works out for each conference (and yes, the Orange Bowl pays more than the CFP due to the nature of its contract – and next year when the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowls aren't hosting semifinals, they'll have larger payouts, as detailed at the end).
Keep in mind that all of this money goes to the conference, not to the team playing in the game. Most conferences split it equally between all 12-14 teams with an equal share also going to the conference office (although some give a bonus to the team participating in the game).
Power Five:
$50 million base to the conference
$6 million to the conference for FSU (Rose Bowl – CFP semifinal)
$27.5 million to the conference for Georgia Tech (Orange Bowl)
Total: $83.5 million to the conference
Conference distribution model: all bowl revenue is divided equally after expense allotments for the participating teams and is included in annual distribution along with other conference revenue. The only exception is Notre Dame (as it relates to football revenue), which is handled separately under a conference agreement that has not been made public.
Big XII
$50 million base to the conference
$4 million to the conference for TCU (Peach Bowl)
$4 million to the conference for Baylor (Cotton Bowl)
Total: $58 million to the conference
Conference distribution model: Bowl revenues are divided evenly between the 10 member institutions after subsidies are provided to participating institutions.
Big Ten
$50 million base to the conference
$6 million to the conference for Ohio State (Sugar Bowl – CFP semifinal)
$4 million to the conference for Michigan State (Cotton Bowl)
Total: $60 million to the conference
Conference distribution model: all bowl revenue is distributed equally between member institutions (taking into account financial integration plans for newer members) after a pre-determined amount for travel and related expenses is provided to participating institutions.
$50 million base to the conference
$6 million to the conference for Oregon (Rose Bowl – CFP semifinal)
$4 million to the conference for Arizona (Fiesta Bowl)
Total: $60 million to the conference
Conference distribution model: divided equally between all members.
$50 million base to the conference
$6 million to the conference for Alabama (Sugar Bowl – CFP semifinal)
$4 million to the conference for Ole Miss (Peach Bowl)
$27.5 million to the conference for Mississippi State (Orange Bowl)
Total: $87.5 million to the conference
Conference distribution model: For bowl games with receipts of $4,000,000 - $5,999,999, the participating team retains $1.475 million (Ole Miss), plus a travel allowance determined by SEC. For bowl games with receipts of $6 million or more, the participating team receives $2 million (Alabama and Mississippi State), plus a travel allowance determined by the SEC. If an SEC team makes it to the championship game, it receives another $2.1 million, plus travel allowance. The remainder of the revenue from these bowls is divided 15 ways – one share for each of the 14 SEC teams and one share for the conference office. There's also a distribution method for bowls with lower payouts, but I'm not covering that here.
Group of Five:
$12 million base to the conference (1/5th of $60 million, per Group of Five formula)*
$12 million base to the conference (1/5th of $60 million, per Group of Five formula)*
$12 million base to the conference (1/5th of $60 million, per Group of Five formula)*
Mountain West
$12 million base to the conference (1/5th of $60 million, per Group of Five formula)*
$4 million to the conference for Boise State (Fiesta Bowl)
Sun Belt
$12 million base to the conference (1/5th of $60 million, per Group of Five formula)*
Conference distribution model: equal division after travel subsidies.
* Based on reports from several sources, and also detailed in this article. The Group of Five have another $15 million to split, which sources tell me they will split according to computer rankings. The conference whose teams rank the highest in the aggregate will receive $5 million, the conference in second place $4 million, the conference in third place $3 million, the conference in fourth place $2 million and the conference in last place $1 million. It is unclear which computer rankings, or combination of computer rankings, will be used to make this determination. However, varying reports about the Group of Five formula are circulating. I'll update this with anything new I learn.
Keep in mind that two of the contract bowls – the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl – are semifinal sites, meaning their contracts with the Big Ten/Pac-12 and SEC/Big XII, respectively, are not in play this year. In the years those games are played, each of those conferences will receive $40 million for playing in those games.
For full details on the payouts, including travel expenses and distributions to independents, and a comparison to the last year of the BCS, see this post.

College athletics are changing; UAB is only the beginning
Are UAB's finances really any different than its conference peers?
In short, no.
Head over to Outkick the Coverage on FoxSports.com to check out my piece on UAB's finances, including a sport-by-sport breakdown of UAB's finances and a C-USA comparison.
UAB's AD and Provost Advised UNC Charlotte on Adding Football
When UNC Charlotte was exploring the addition of football, it reached out to athletic directors and provosts at other institutions for advice and asked each a set of questions regarding their own experience. This was done prior to UNC Charlotte's 2008 vote to add football, so the landscape of major college football looked a little different.
Nonetheless, it's still interesting to see UAB's responses in light of yesterday's news that the football program is being cut. In particular, the acknowledgement that the football program wasn't built on the most solid ground at its inception.
Here's how UAB's athletic director Brian Mackin responded to each of the questions asked in the UNC Charlotte study:
1. What is your perspective on the implementation of the Football program (or lack of implementation)?
"At UAB, the President wanted football to help meet the university's mission, therefore he supported (and current president does also) football with supplemental funding from the university. In the state of Alabama, the division of football you play is very important. (I-A) Conference Affiliation is very important. Identify who you want to be associated with. For UAB, it was important to be in a league with Southern Mississippi and Memphis, so Conference USA is a great fit."
2. What were the consequences both intended and unintended with the implementation of football (or lack of implementation)?
"Unintended Consequences – On the front-end there was a miscommunication with the Trustees in regard to the goals of adding football. There is a need to have ownership from the "top down"—– total buy in. UAB has that now, but not sure we (UAB) did originally.
Intended Consequences – Start football, D I level and have a conference affiliation. Now we are "a complete" athletic program with football, that serves all sports. Conference USA is the perfect fit for us."
3. Is there any advice that you would give as UNC Charlotte studies football?
"What Joe Gottfried did at South Alabama was smart……had a plan to sell a minimum # of season tickets prior to committing to start football. UAB just jumped in with no plan. You need a plan due to economic impact unless your President/Chancellor will subsidize the program at $4-4.5 million per year. I know you are aware of Title IX consequences.
Talk with marketing folks. We deal with ISP now-suggest you go external. We increased revenue from $200,000 to $1.4 million after we used external firm."
And here's how UAB's provost responded to UNC – Charlotte, according to the report:
"The Provost commented that it seems to take a very long time to build a fan base. Attendance at games fluctuates with the wins and loses. He thinks that the size of the market is really important. Birmingham doesn't have a professional team. There is a lot of allegiance to Alabama and Auburn football and UAB can't really compete with them for interest. UAB has about 15,000 students total and a much smaller alumni base than Alabama or Auburn. But there is a real struggle in the state around student recruitment and with a generally younger student body, UAB has been trying to create a more traditional campus atmosphere. He did not have any comments on the impact of football on the academic programs except to say that having a marching band had been helpful to the music program. Other than speaking favorably about how the band was a cohesive group and seemed to function like a learning community, he didn't have much to say about what football had actually contributed to student recruitment or the student experience. He had no comments on scholarships, fund raising or financing. UAB plays in Legion Field which is now old and in need of repair. UAB doesn't have space on campus for a stadium."
If you don't know, UNC Charlotte did decide to add football. The 49ers played their first game in 2013 and will move up to FBS next fall.
