Cougs clamp down
College of Charleston 69, The Citadel 46
With three newcomers in the starting lineup and a fourth in the rotation, College of Charleston guard Andrew Goudelock fears for his coach's trademark shock of white hair.
"With this young of a team, I'm surprised his hair hasn't turned black yet," Goudelock said of coach Bobby Cremins.
But if hair color is the measure of coaching a young team, Citadel basketball coach Ed Conroy might wake up today looking like he's wearing one of those Cremins wigs. His 11 freshmen got their first taste of the Cougars-Bulldogs' rivalry on Monday night, and it was one they won't soon forget.
The overmatched Bulldogs managed only nine points in the first half, and College of Charleston won its 11th straight in the series, 69-46, before 3,233 fans at McAlister Field House.
Goudelock, a freshman making his first start for the Cougars, scored 13 points while junior Jermaine Johnson racked up his eighth double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Junior Dustin Scott added 11 points and seven rebounds.
But defense was the story for Charleston (8-8, 3-3 Southern Conference), which entered the game ranked dead last in the league in scoring defense. The fullcourt press and aggressive man-to-man ordered up by Cremins turned the Bulldogs' motion offense into a motionless mess.
The Citadel (5-11, 0-7) lost its fifth straight by shooting 14.8 percent in the first half and 30 percent for the game, a season low for a Cougars opponent. Freshman Tyrell McDowell scored 14 points and freshman Austin Dahn added 10 for the Bulldogs.
"We were extremely tentative to start the game, and tentative the entire night against the press," said Conroy, whose team missed 23 of its first 27 shots. "We were passing up open shots, our feet weren't set and we were just out of rhythm.
"I can't explain it. I thought we were past that point. But the most frustrating thing has been finding consistency with this group."
Cremins, whose team shot a season-best 59.2 percent, was gracious in victory and pointed out that The Citadel lost to Georgia Southern on Saturday while the Cougars had the day off.
"That was the tale of the game, the first half," he said. "We had more rest than they did, and their shooting in the first half was a little short. With them not shooting well and us scoring, that made it difficult for them."
The first 20 minutes were an unmitigated disaster for the Bulldogs, who missed nine of their first 10 from 3-point range, turned the ball over seven times and passed up some open shots in favor of more difficult looks.
"It wasn't intimidation, it was all about us," said Citadel junior Jon Brick. "We were a little tight and sometimes we are a little tentative until we let the game come to us. But we never hit our stride in that first half."
A string of three straight Citadel turnovers — turned into seven points by the Cougars — jump-started a 17-0 run that gave Charleston a 23-5 lead.
"We knew this was a game they really were looking forward to, and we had to bring our best defensive effort," Johnson said. "All five of their guys are shooters, so we knew we had to get after them."
The Bulldogs went more than nine minutes without a point, and by the time Conroy was forced to explain the proceedings during a live TV interview at halftime, it was 32-9. That marked the fewest points the Cougars had allowed in the first half since Campbell managed eight in 1998, and The Citadel could get only as close as 17 in the second half.
Citadel researchers were looking up the last time the Bulldogs scored fewer than nine points in the first half. At press time, they'd gotten only as far as 2002-03.
Afterward, Conroy pointed out to his freshmen that they will get at least seven more chances to play the Cougars in their careers.
"I told them, they get eight tries at this game, and that was one," he said. "Certainly, we didn't give our best. When we play at their place (on Feb. 4), we need to be a better basketball team."
-- Citadel senior Demetrius Nelson, who has missed nine straight games with a stress fracture in his right foot, will be examined today. A decision on the fate of his season could come by the end of the week ... The Cougars play host to Wofford on Thursday, while The Citadel gets the Terriers on Saturday.

On Saturday I peeped into my mailbox, and there was a Tiger in there!!!!!!! Ricky was kind enough to send me some Series 4 :) I gave the tiger his own little area in a nice basket in the tea cabinet so he wouldn't hurt Florence and Marco Polo (Thomas Sampson and Jackee Muntz acted all brave but I could see it in their eyes that they were a little scared – what with that blue tongue and pointy teeth!).
He brewed up so dark and strong! Almost like coffee! I was frightened out of my wits! Imagine my surprise when I took a sip, and found out he's just a pussy cat!!!! A bit feisty (I am definitely getting some pepper!) but purrrrrringly smooth and sweet. I of course used some milk, him being a cat and all. A little sugar too. Very very delicious!!!
2nd Steep – 6 min It's Grrrrrrrrreat! (Tony the Tiger humor! Please forgive me!)
just a little lighter in body and taste, and no pepper. Thoroughly enjoyable.
The Tiger is now curled up in the basket in my tea cabinet. (There is enough for at least one more pot!!) I saw Florence furiously knitting him a toy, and Marco Polo somehow produced some catnip (most likely from his vast spice travels around the world). I was totally SHOCKED to see Thomas Sampson and Jackee Muntz huddled over the basket talking "wickle puddy tat You so cuuuute awwwwwwwww!" baby talk to the tiger! NOW I've seen EVERYTHING!

Mining meetings wrap up
MADISON – A senate mining committee sought and got input Thursday from northern Wisconsin officials who want more study money and participation in new mining regulations.By: By Kevin Murphy/For the Telegram, Superior Telegram
MADISON – A senate mining committee sought and got input Thursday from northern Wisconsin officials who want more study money and participation in new mining regulations.
"The bill (AB426 last spring) upset some people with the lack of local input and the ability of the people to be part of the process. The mine will be in their backyard, in some cases it's in their front yard," said Ashland County Administrator Jeff Beirl.
Two townships in Ashland and Iron counties, that straddle the iron ore deposit a Florida-based mining company sought to develop earlier this year, have spent a combined $20,000 to prepare ordinances and gather background data on current water quality.
The $12,000 the Iron County town of Anderson has spent equals half of their property tax levy, said Richard Stadelman, executive director of the Wisconsin Towns Association. These small, rural governments need more help from the state in order to give them the best chance of preparing to live next to the biggest mine ever in Wisconsin, he said.
Current law requires a company to pay $50,000 to the state toward impact study costs when they file notice of intent to seek a mining permit. That's inadequate to understand and monitor the impact of the 22,000-acre mine proposed last spring by Gogebic Taconite, said Beirl.
While it is "tough to put a number," on the amount now, Beirl said $50,000 should be the starting figure with a similar amount paid annually as needed to develop plans and responses local governments will need to have in place for large-scale mining operations.
The amount of study money made available should be closer to the $200,000 GTAC spent in six months preparing to restart iron mining in the state, said State Sen. Bob Jauch, D-Poplar.
Local officials will need state funding upfront to hire experts to review the legal and environmental complexities in addition to the state's review, as they will be most impacted by mining activity, Beirl said.
Jauch also asked Beirl if he favored an alternative to funding mining regulation through the existing net proceeds tax on mining activity.
Local governments may have to wait five to seven years for funds generated by a net proceeds tax, said Jauch as mining companies can apply their huge start-up costs against profits that would be subject to the tax.
In the meantime, local governments have costs from the impacts on roads, schools, housing and law enforcement to contend with as a mine becomes operational, he said.
With Gov. Scott Walker advocating a mining bill passed in time to meet the next construction season, Jauch asked Stadelman if he knew anyone "as delusional" as Walker about the timing for a new mining bill?
"You'll get better public acceptance (to mining) with better access to information," said Stadelman who also advocated including local official input in the mining approval process.
As important as local government input is, Native American tribal government input "is twice as important," said Beirl as their legal authority can have serious consequences for any project.
"Whatever the state thinks it can dictate about the process, the tribes have other avenues to explore regarding allowing a mine to go forward or not. Tribes are a major player. Talk to the tribes, they have water quality standards that can be enforced and soon they'll have air quality standards, too," he said.
Tribal representatives did address the committee this fall.
Thursday's hearing was the final session for the Democrat-controlled committee, as the Republican majority will be restored to the Senate in January.
After listing to Beirl's testimony, State Sen. Glen Grothman, R-West Bend, asked Beirl if he thought mining would benefit Ashland County and northern Wisconsin.
"Where I come from economic development is a good thing," Grothman said.
Mining can be, Beirl replied, "If it's done right."
Most of the people he knows want the best of both worlds in which mining can be a prosperous activity and the natural resources are protected, said Beirl.
"You can create 700 mining jobs but it is deteriorates the natural resources so it kills an equal amount of jobs in tourism and agriculture you have a net zero job gain," he said.
Committee Chairman State Sen. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville, said the committee's four listening sessions dating to September produced a lot of information and a bill that will be an alternative to one to be proposed by Republicans next year.

I believe I had the same type of problem. I just never thought about it much until you guys brought it up. Beast Machines station did change near the end, and then the FOX BOX or whatever it was called changed as well, and I know I had a hard time seeing later episodes of RID, but somehow I caught the last one once, and never again. Basically from the moment Megs became Galvatron, I don't remember seeing much, at least that's what I think my memory is. But I do remember the matrix blade and I think it was a volcano, and at the end, Fort max taking the Predacons and Decepticons off of Earth as prisoners.
My memory is sketchy on it though.
Fob Box does ring a bell. I also remember the episode with Galvatron being the very last episode I saw.

Puppets and Politics by Carol Fijan is the latest publication from the intrepid Luman Coad's Charlemagne Press. Fijan, whom many will know best for her famous co-authoring of "Making Glove Puppets Come Alive (1973) has had a long career as a performer, writer and teacher. This slim volume is her record of seven decades of activism with political issues and concerns through puppet theatre. It documents her early influences such as Lou Bunin, her work for the WPA in the 1930's, her involvement with various street theatre projects in the 1940's, and her contribution to the Puppeteers of America in the 1950's and 1960's. The meeting with Sergei Obraztsov in 1963 and her puppet projects contributing to the Anti-Vietnam War movement were highlights from this time. Other issue-based projects with women, young people, people with disabilities, human rights, cultural diversity between 1970 and the present are explained. Fijan takes the line that puppets have a historic role to entertain and teach about religions and political issues and human rights. A5 size laminated gloss cover; p.84; 32 b/w photos and illustrations.

Love the striped pattern on the Wildfire, will use it on one of my own walkers.
Without Signature
I love that tiger stripe. Really good work. All i would say is if you like weathering give them some dirt !!!!
Looking very sharp.
I notice that you have the "standing" driver as well as the sitting guy. I have 2 wildfire/honeys and both only came with the sitting driver. What is other people's experience?
Take care and have a great day.
Looking for Dust Tactics players in/near:
Nanjing, China
The "standing" driver is from this extra pack (recommended, BTW). Otherwise you'll get only the sitting one, which is the standard issue for the Wildfire/Honey model.
Without Signature
Thanks for the kind words guys!
@ Talldwarf- Golem answered your question. It really is a great set. Wish they would do more.
Thanks for the reply guys. The driver is cheap enough but I have started ordering SSU as well as they become available here. Going to spend my money on units for now. I thought I would avoid the SSU since a friend is building that up, but I want to own everything thinking of the future and I like how the 3 factions have different styles. To learn how to beat the SSU I need to play them as well. My son also wants the helicopters and will want the tanks.
Take care and have a great day.
Looking for Dust Tactics players in/near:

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask this, but did you remove the bases from the infantry you painted? if so, did you cut it off? Or am I not pulling hard enough?
I'm thinking of doing unit identification on my bases, but that will be a heck of a lot easier to paint if it remove the bases first. (I've never done anything like this before…)
Hate not the player, hate the game.
I cut it off with an exacto blade. Just be careful because they are very soft plastic and cut very easily. Just go slow and you should be fine. These are alot easier to paint off the base.
Thanks! I ended up popping the little medallion off, and if i use my exacto around the peg, i can get it off with the peg intact, gives my helping hands alligator clip something to hold onto.
Models look fantastic, btw
Hate not the player, hate the game.
the light walkers look great and does totenmiester. Can wait to see more of your work.
It's only a game so have fun.

There is nothing wrong with product tying, if I'm not mistaken. The only reason it was an issue with MS was because they were and still are a monopoly with full control over the PC market.
Nothing wrong as in "It's only illegal for monopolies"? Or nothing wrong as in "It shouldn't be illegal for non-monopolies"? I'm starting to wonder whether "tying" shouldn't be considered anti-consumer, and against the best interests of "We, the people (of the World)" across the board. The company I worked for for 20 years is tiny. Microscopic, really. And it certainly did a lot of things that were anti-consumer because the law allowed it. The clients in my charge were, to a great extent, insulated from that. And our owner wasn't a bad guy. Just someone who operated within the law and felt legality was more or less equivalent to morality. I'm descibing him in more of a negative light, here, than is really warranted, because he had a conscience and a value system that I respected, or else I wouldn't have worked there for 20 years. But let's just say that our ethical systems diverged.
I have to wonder if tying of materials and services should be quite as legal as it is. Would it be better or worse if it was not... as long as everyone had to play by the same rules?
I'm pretty much just putting this out for discussion. I'm not sure where I actually stand on it.

(CBS/AP) LOS ANGELES - Katherine Jackson, the mother of Michael Jackson and guardian of his three children, is safe and with a family member in Arizona, authorities said late Sunday, one day after another relative reported her missing.
The disclosure came after her granddaughter, Paris Jackson, said in a Twitter message that Katherine was missing. Another concerned family member, believed to be Katherine's nephew Trent Jackson, officially reported her missing Saturday night amid a dispute over the estate of her superstar son. Reports say Trent is looking after Michael Jackson's three children in Katherine's absence.
Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputy Mark Pope said investigators made contact with Jackson, but he did not have specifics on her whereabouts. The agency previously said they believed she was with a relative and safe, but wanted to speak with her.
Paris Jackson, the 14-year-old daughter of the late pop star, tweeted early Sunday that her grandmother was missing.
"I haven't spoken with her in a week I want her home now," she posted from her Twitter account. She also tweeted a number for people to contact in case they saw the 82-year-old matriarch of the famous singing clan.
Family says Michael Jackson's mother missing
The family drama unfolded days after it was revealed that some of Katherine Jackson's children had written a letter to the executors of Michael Jackson's estate, alleging his will, which left his fortune to his children, his mother and charity, was a fake.
The undated letter, signed by Janet, Randy, Tito, Rebbie and Jermaine Jackson, claimed Katherine Jackson was being manipulated by the executors, John Branca and John McClain, her health had been affected, and she had suffered a mini-stroke.
The legitimacy of the letter was confirmed by Randy Jackson on Twitter, and Janet Jackson retweeted his post.
The estate has denied the accusations.
Paris Jackson lashed out at her uncle Randy Jackson on Twitter, saying her grandmother was fine.
"I will defend my beloved family member with all I have, even if it means from other family members," the tweet said.
She later apologized, saying she just wanted to let people know that her grandmother did not have a stroke.
Katherine Jackson's attorney Perry Sanders Jr. said Friday that his client did not have a stroke, according to his interactions with her and with her relatives. Sanders could not immediately be reached Sunday for comment.
On Friday, Jermaine Jackson tweeted that his mother was resting on the orders of a doctor in Arizona.
"This is our mother and her health is paramount. We are not inventing or plotting anything," he posted. "We are following doctor's advice. Period."
However, Paris Jackson tweeted on Sunday: "The same doctor that testified on behalf of dr murray saying my father was a drug addict (a lie) is caring for my grandmother ... just saying."
Dr. Conrad Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for the June 2009 propofol overdose death of Michael Jackson at age 50.

- Paris Jackson is a 14 year old. How many of us allow 14 year olds to make their own decisions. Her grandmother is 84. Parents in their 30's have difficulity with pre-teens. I think Janet probally is a little bit wiser than Paris about show business. She comes off as a bit disrespectful and possibly being influenced by someone.

- She's wondering where her grandmother is. And since her grandmother is the legal guardian for Michael Jackson's children, I think that's a very legitimate question!! I'm wondering why Katherine Jackson can't come forward and tell Paris herself where she is?? I hope the police find her soon.

11 July 2012An innovative new way of communicating science research launches today with Gamify your PhD, a project from the Wellcome Trust which brings together researchers and games developers to create new games exploring and explaining the latest developments in biomedicine.The Trust is inviting researchers to share ideas for games based on their PhD work in biomedical science or the medical humanities, and small teams of games developers to turn these ideas into addictive, challenging and educational games. Those selected will partner at a two day hack in which the games will be created. The best of these will receive funding to develop into a releasable game.To help inspire ideas and give researchers a flavour of what's possible, a web-app< http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/gamify>, developed by Mobile Pie, has been commissioned, offering an interactive and fully embeddable guide to the nuts and bolts of mechanics and motivation that lie behind successful game design. The web-app also features sample 16-bit minigames to illustrate the different elements of gaming, including a Darwin-inspired survival of the fittest pigeon game, a Mendel genetics puzzle game, a game based on Asch's work on conformity, and a Newton-targeting apple game.Gamify your PhD is part of a wider commitment by the Wellcome Trust to using games and gaming culture as a means of engaging people with science. A range of awards schemes is open to developers interested in creating innovative, entertaining and accessible games based around biomedicine and medical history.Daniel Glaser, Head of Special Projects at the Wellcome Trust said: "The engaged researcher has lots to learn from gaming and game design can benefit hugely from the latest scientific advances. That's why the Wellcome Trust is throwing its weight behind this innovative interaction. Today's brightest researchers understand that science does not take place in a vacuum and the best research can engage with the most popular culture. I'm very curious to find out what these teams will come up with."Tomas Rawlings, the Wellcome Trust's gaming consultant said: "Science and games are a natural fit, both are about the participant seeking to understand the rules that govern the world they find themselves within and achieving this by experiments such as trial-and-error. Gamify your PhD is an exciting twist and evolution of these areas."The deadline for applications from researchers and developers is 12 August, and the games hack will take place between the 3-4 September 2012. The resulting games will be made available online. All details about the scheme and the web-app guide to gaming can be found at www.wellcome.ac.uk/gamify< http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/gamify>The project's twitter hashtag is #gamifyyourphdThe Wellcome Trust will be present at the Develop games conference in Brighton on 11 July 2012.

(Phys.org) -- Researchers at James Cook University have questioned why coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef has continued to decline when it is recognised as the best managed coral reef system in the world.
Jon Brodie, Senior Principal Research Officer with JCUs Centre for Tropical Water and Aquatic Ecosystem Research (TropWater) and Research Fellow Jane Waterhouse said that recent estimates put average coral cover across the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) at about 2030% - estimated to be a large reduction since the 1960s.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act was enacted in 1975 and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) set up shortly afterwards, they said.
So the question is: why has coral cover continued to decline when the GBR is being managed with a management regime often recognised as the best managed coral reef system in the world, based on a strong science-for-management ethic.
Writing in Elseviers Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science journal, Brodie and Waterhouse said that the stressors which are known to be most responsible for the loss of coral cover and general reef health were terrestrial pollution including the link to outbreaks of crown of thorns starfish, fishing impacts and climate change.
However the management response of the GBRMPA after 1975, while based on a strong science-for-management program, did not concentrate on these issues but instead on managing access through zoning with restrictions on fishing in very limited areas and tourism management.
They wrote that significant action on fishing, including trawling, did not occur until the Trawl Management Plan of 2000 and the rezoning of the GBR Marine Park in 2004. Effective action on terrestrial pollution did not occur until the Australian Government Reef Rescue initiative, which commenced in 2008.
Effective action on climate change has yet to begin either nationally or globally, they said.
In their paper Mr. Brodie and Ms. Waterhouse said it was not surprising that coral cover on the GBR had reduced to values similar to those seen in other coral reef areas in the world such as Indonesia and the Philippines.
Science has always required long periods to acquire sufficient evidence to drive management action and hence there is a considerable time lag between the establishment of scientific evidence and the introduction of effective management.
It can still be credibly claimed that the GBR is the best managed coral reef system in the world but it must be realised that this is a relative assessment against other reef systems and management regimes and not an absolute claim for effective management.
They said that the GBR has been managed under a complex but powerful regime with great governmental support, financing and research and monitoring expenditure since 1975.
They said there had been notable successes in recent times including:
the major rezoning of 2004 with new no-take zones showing increased fish populations but also apparent effects on crown of thorns starfish populations;
little loss of mangroves as a result of strong prohibitions on damaging marine plants under the Queensland Fisheries legislation;
sewage effluent discharges from resort islands and mainland cities and towns have been improved dramatically; and
strong action on compulsory pilotage and navigation equipment may have prevented many shipping accidents but ships still manage to run on to the reef every decade or so.
On the other hand coral cover has declined considerably, seagrass health in the central GBR is in poor shape, dugong numbers have declined precipitously, shark populations are in serious decline (although perhaps recent management has reduced the rate of decline), many other large fish on the GBR have had large population declines (although data on many are incomplete) and the fourth wave of crown of thorns starfish outbreaks has commenced.
Most notably coral bleaching has become more frequent, widespread and damaging and coral calcification has started to decline due to ocean acidification.
They write that the reasons for this situation are complex but include the need for reasonably certain science before management action occurs - and the long times need to achieve this.
Time lags in recovery after management action are long. For a slow breeding animal like a dugong one calf every few years - population recovery is a very slow process and catchment management activities such as reafforestation of riparian areas take decades to reduce erosion and river sediment loads.
In particular the need to get the political, organizational, scientific, economic and human elements to align at the right time so effective management can occur in time to avert phase change is a frighteningly difficult task, Brodie and Waterhouse said.
They conclude that it is easy now for us to claim that management should have focussed on these from the start of the GBRMPA. However, as is often said, hindsight is a wonderful thing and both authors of this paper have been engaged from long ago in a water quality management role for the GBR.
Our inability to manage climate change for the GBR, including increased temperatures, extreme weather events and ocean acidification, means that even in the light of some success in other management areas and the fact that the GBR is the best managed reef system in the world means the long term prognosis for a healthy GBR system is poor.
The extension of the Reef Plan management actions beyond 2013, the continued strong management of no-take zones in the GBR and a better management regime for the coastal and estuarine areas of the GBR are thus even more essential to give us any hope of retaining some of the World Heritage values of the system.

7 famous albino animals: Not like the others
White aligators are not albinos. They have a rare recessive color gene that has only been observed once or twice in the wild because the babies are not camoflaged and are eaten almost at birth. Most of the specimens in captivity are owned by the original discoverers, the Louisiana Land and Exploration Company, and are on loan to zoos and aquariums around the country.
Albinism is a congenital defect in the way that melatonin is produced but yes, in many cases related to recessive genes. In leucism, all types of skin pigmentation are reduced--not just the melanin.
hey guys there is even a white raccoon caught in louisiana by an exterminator who was helping home owners wanted it taken into a zoo for safe keeping away from hunters.

I have had more fun in the last few weeks than I have in a very long time. The reason? I have a new game to tinker with. For those of you who know me well, you know my love for Scrabble. Imagine my surprise when I heard that there was a Scrabble game out there that looked like a Rubix Cube. . . another love of mine.
I knew I had to check it out, so when the Review Crew said I was chosen, I got extremely excited!
Scruble Cube is a fun new way to learn in your homeschool. The first day we had it, the kids just had fun looking at it and trying to create words with it (the kids did much better than I did). Later, we started making games out of it. Of course, my wordy daughter was the one who won most rounds!
Did you know that you can use the Scruble Cube to learn all about different educational topics?
Academic Skills Mathematics Trial & Error Spelling Vowel Awareness Word Building with Rimes Math Facts Research Skills Mechanical Skills Vocabulary Development |
Life Skills Team Work Sportsmanship/Competition Problem Solving Skills Listening Skills Oral Communications Strategic Thinking Higher Level Thinking |
From the website:
What if you took some of the known playing patterns of some of the most popular word games and puzzles in history and combined them in a brand new, unique format to create the World's Greatest 3-D Word Game?Well, you'd have the "SCRUBLE Cube™ a patent pending game with over 7.4 x 1045(that's 7,401 septillion)possible configurations that anyone who can spell can play. And all in a portable format that can be played anywhere- anytimeThe SCRUBLE Cube™ is a word game and a puzzle- on steroids!
Where can I purchase Scruble Cube at?
SCRUBLE Cube™ can be purchased at Barnes & Noble, select Learning Express Stores, FAO Schwarz and other specialty retailers, OR you can get it directly from the ScrubleCube website for only $24.95.
For more information please visit www.facebook.com/scrublecube
Check out what other reviewers are saying about Scruble Cube.
I was provided a Scruble Cube as compensation for my review. All opinons stated are my own.

From @abellwillring: Would love to hear your thoughts on the assistant coaching turnover at FSU and what you expect.
I've heard it's been a really rocky road inside the Florida State program under Jimbo Fisher of late. He's had significant turnover on the staff and lost several key assistants on both sides of the ball. It also wouldn't surprise me at all if FSU lost the team's top recruiter, James Coley, who has the title of offensive coordinator.
I was a bit surprised that Fisher didn't go with a proven defensive coordinator to replace Mark Stoops. I know there were some big-time DCs in consideration before Fisher opted for 38-year-old Jeremy Pruitt from Alabama. Clearly, Fisher wanted to add more "Saban guys" to his operation by bringing Pruitt and Sal Sunseri to FSU.
Fisher has become even more hands on in the past month with his staff, I'm told, and this comes in the wake of what has to be seen as a disappointing 2012 season. While FSU did make the Orange Bowl, the Noles, again, stubbed their toe against an unranked opponent (N.C. State) and then lost at home by 11 to rival Florida. And this was supposed to be the season in which FSU would make a run at the BCS title. At this point -- three seasons in the Jimbo Fisher tenure -- it's still hard to say whether he's the guy who can lead the Noles back to greatness. I feel like there are more reasons for skepticism about that than there were just three months ago.

text: Here are some raw recipes I hope you enjoy. OATMEAL SCRUMPTIOUS SMOOTHIES Smoothies are a quick and easy way to enjoy raw vegan foods. Their nutrients are easily absorbed and the body doesn't use a lot of energy for digestion. If a Smoothie consists of approximately 60% fruits and 40% greens, it won't taste 'green' and will provide minerals and vitamins your body needs. You might start by adding one or two leaves of a mild green (e.g. romaine lettuce or spinach) to a fruit Smoothie. When using strong-flavoured greens, or lots of leafy greens, adding lemon juice makes the Smoothie more palatable, plus it's alkalizing to our body. Smoothies taste best and are most nutritious when fresh from the blender. To help preserve freshness for several hours, add ice after blending, and/or lemon juice (a natural preservative). Try to vary what you put in smoothies because each food contains different nutrients. Here are some foods you can add: FRUITS: apple, apricot, banana, berries, coconut, cucumber, currant, date, fig, goji berries, grape, grapefruit, lemon, lime, mango, melon, nectarine, orange, papaya, peach, pear, pineapple, plum, pomegranate, prune, raisin, rhubarb GREENS: beet greens, carrot tops, celery, chard, edible weeds (e.g. chickweed, dandelion, lambsquarters, stinging nettle), fennel, grape leaves, kale, lettuce (e.g. romaine, green or red leaf), mint, mixed greens, parsley, sorrel, spinach, sprouts ADDITIONAL NUTRIENTS & FLAVOURS: allspice, almond, avocado, cinnamon, clove, flax seeds, ginger, hemp seeds, nutmeg, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds SEE ORANGE BANANA GREEN SMOOTHIE FOR A SMOOTHIE RECIPE |

Woodridge Natives Represented in College Football Bowls
There are a lot of athletes from Chicago suburbs—and Patch towns—on some of the best teams in college football this season.
The BCS bowl season has begun, but two area schools will wait until after the new year to play in some of the most prestigious bowl games—and their rosters feature lots of area talent from Chicago suburbs and Patch towns. Notre Dame, the No. 1 team in the country, plays Alabama in the BCS National Championship game Jan. 7. And No. 15 Northern Illinois, a surprise BCS team, heads to the Orange Bowl to play No. 12 Florida State on New Year's Day. A number of athletes from Patch towns are on the rosters of these teams, as well as others playing in bowl games over the next few weeks. Many are underclassmen probably yet to see game action, but their names are among some of the most powerful rosters in college football. If we've missed out on …

Another water main break occurred in Belleville, the latest of several in the past few weeks and the third since Nov. 14, town hall said Monday.
This most recent break has disrupted service to Greylock Parkway, Division, Madison, Passaic and Liberty streets. Service will be disrupted until further notice, town hall also said.
Officials last week were trying to determine why township pipes have experienced such an unusually high number of ruptures since the start of the month.

As the city tries to cut another billion dollars out of its 5-year budget, City Paper is taking a look at how cuts and proposed cuts are affecting different services and functions — not to argue against any individual cut, necessarily, but to catalog the damage. This week's focus is parks.
At about $13 million, Fairmount Park's annual budget is less than it was 20 years ago, adjusted for inflation. Before the budget crisis began, Mayor Nutter promised the park an additional $2.2 million in funding, according to Mark Focht, Fairmount Park Commission executive director. That extra money is now off the table — and things for the park might get worse.
The mayor has asked all city agencies to outline scenarios in which their budgets are slashed 10 percent, 20 percent and 30 percent.
For the parks, 10 percent cuts would mean losses of more than a dozen full-time jobs, a reduction in public restroom access and various maintenance services.
Twenty percent would mean 20 full-time and 20 seasonal employees would lose their jobs. Thirteen park fountains would stay dry, and the public could not access the historic mansions for the entire summer and fall.
And if 30 percent of the park budget were cut, up to 35 full-time and 70 part-time positions would be lost. The fountains, mansions, Horticultural Center, Lloyd Hall and JFK Plaza would all be closed.
"We've tried to sustain our core services of maintaining public open space and doing that by retaining as many staff positions as possible," says Focht.
In each scenario, the park would suffer from backlogged maintenance needs. Focht says the park is used to understaffing. "Today we have 170 employees, and in 1984 we had 640," he says. "To cut further would have true impacts."
Katrina Wilhelm, executive director of the Fairmount Park Conservancy, calls Fairmount Park the city's front yard. "If we want people to come and invest in our city, we don't want to have a messy front yard," she says. The conservancy has helped the park raise millions from private investors.
Last Friday, Mayor Nutter remained aloof regarding the park's budget. "We've made no decisions, but I'm a big supporter of Fairmount Park, and we're gonna do our best to preserve their programs," he said.

Antimatter, Fear of a Unique Identity: Overcoming Phobias
Posted in Reviews on December 28th, 2012 by H.P. TaskmasterThe longest track on Antimatter's Fear of a Unique Identity, "Firewalking" tops eight minutes and uses that time to offer some glimmer of hope from the head-down melancholia in which so much of the rest of the album revels. Fear is the British project's sixth studio outing — there's also been a best of and two live records — and continues their relationship with Prophecy Productions, a label which has become a haven for depression conveyed via musical gorgeousness, lush melody and introspective lyrics. In the case of Antimatter's latest, we get all of the above.
With a total nine tracks/49 minutes, it's also an album that was bound to be a surprise — it's Antimatter's first LP in five years since 2007′s Leaving Eden and the second since Duncan Patterson left the band. The multi-instrumentalist, also ex-Anathema, was formerly a defining presence in Antimatter alongside guitarist/vocalist Mick Moss, playing a central role in the ambient/electronica vibing of the band's earliest albums, Saviour (2001) and Lights Out (2003). With 2005′s Planetary Confinement, Antimatter began to move toward a more organic, intimate style, and Patterson went on to release material with another band, Íon, that was in a roughly similar earthy vein before getting started with the darker project Alternative 4 (named for the last Anathema album on which he appeared), who made their full-length debut with 2011′s The Brink.
Moss, meanwhile, took the reins of Antimatter and has proven he's capable of carrying the band in terms both of songwriting and performance. On Leaving Eden, he brought in Anathema's Danny Cavanaugh for the sessions and subsequent touring, also sitting in with Cavanaugh's Leafblade side-project. You'd need a chart to note every connection between these players, but one way or another, it mostly leads back to Anathema, except in Moss' case as he was never a member of the band. On Fear of a Unique Identity, however, Antimatter is perhaps the most separate from the Anathema lineage that they've ever been. Sure, the wisping ebow guitar leads in "Wide Awake in the Concrete Asylum" bear some sonic resemblance to Anathema's mid-period downer glories, but Moss is firmly in control of the band's sound and quick to distinguish and make a mark of his own within these songs.
Primarily, he does this vocally, with a stunningly emotive and melodic delivery that's adaptable to whatever happens to be going on musically at the time, but really, it's the music itself on Fear of a Unique Identity that's going to surprise first-time listeners or anyone who's followed the band since they got going. It's heavy. From the beginnings of opener "Paranova" to the Euro-doom stomp of "The Parade" and all the distorted tonality between, Antimatter in 2012 have more in common with Katatonia than with Anathema's newfound progressive joys. The additional vocals of Vic Anelsmo, periodic violin of David Hall and drumming of Colin Fromont give a full-band feel to Moss' singing, guitar, bass, piano and programming, and yet Antimatter retains an intimate, personal sensibility through their dynamic approach, here soft and contemplative, as on closer "A Place in the Sun," and there unremittingly dark and threatening, as on centerpiece "Here Come the Men," which marks Moss and Anselmo's best duet of the record.

Abstract | The Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family consists of 23 members, which play important roles during development, homeostasis and pathogenesis by controlling proliferation, migration and differentiation of cells in multiple organs. Among FGFs, we are interested in the role of FGF10 and its receptor, FGFR2b in development of ectodermal derivatives such as mammary gland, limbs and incisors. In this study we mainly used rtTA transactivator/tetracycline promoter approach allowing inducible and reversible attenuation of the FGFR2b pathway throughout the embryonic and adult mouse upon addition of doxycycline. Our study in mammary gland demonstrates the importance of FGFR2b signaling pathway for maintenance of the terminal end buds (TEBs) at the tip of the adult mammary gland. TEBs consist of transit amplifying cells (TACs), which are developed from adult mammary stem cells. We also report that while FGFR2b signaling is not crucial for the regenerative potential of the mammary epithelial stem cells, it has a critical role in the regulation of luminal epithelial lineage commitment of mammary stem cells in the adult mouse. In the second study, it is shown that FGFR2b signaling is critical for the regenerative capacity of adult incisors by controlling the proliferation of ameloblast progenitor cells. In the last study, we show that Apical Ectodermal Ridge (AER), the key structure for limb bud formation, requires FGFR2b signaling to maintain its structure. At last, in the following dissertation we discuss the crucial role of FGFR2b signaling pathway in controlling the behavior of stem/progenitor cells of different ectodermal-derived organs in both embryonic and adult mouse. |

The Reserve Bank Credit remains anemic in growth at $8.6B while total assets fell by $10.5 B even as The Fed added $8-9B more in MBS purchases as the Maiden Lane III securities the Fed is holding were auctioned off to the extent of another $6.9 B
Reserve Bank Credit or the size of the Fed's Balance sheet is $2.858 B even as the latest 10 Y TIPS auctions retrieved a better demand from International investors and awarded a negative -0.632% yields. Yet demand is trending down
Commercial credit has not been growing as banks are yet deleveraging outside of JP Morgan and maybe Wells Fargo in mortgages. BofA did only $18 B in mortgages this quarter though it was a tremendous improvement over last quarter. Corporate credit demand is also low and net yields at the banks have been under pressure as cost of borrowing for banks has zoomed up by up to 20% and Return on Equity targets were nearly in single digits again except at JP Morgan
The Fed Balance sheet shows its holding of Treasuries largely concentrated in the 5-10 yr denomination and beyond in the H.4.1 report
The H.8 report on Bank credit earlier on Friday reported only 2.7% growth in Bank credit in June after a "better" 5.2% and 4% growth i nthe first two months of the quarter CRE loans have been winding down while Trading, Interbank and Cash holdings of banks have been growing multifold to sustain a 16% growth over last year However Deposits have also grown by a large 10% in June and bank borrowing is winding down at 3.3% probably a sign of weaker demand for lending as cash holding remain at $1.66 T and Commrcl and Industrial Loans at $1.4 T with Consumer loans at $1.1 Tln and another $1.5Tln in Closed end residential loans that should continue to grow for the Housing crisis to point up
