The Funimation Channel is a 24-hour cable network which broadcasts anime series in the United States. Olympusat[2] was chosen as the exclusive distributor of the network.
In May 2009, Funimation Channel continued its expansion on cable launching on Comcast's VOD platform [3] and offering two services - Free On Demand and PPV On Demand. The PPV VOD offers viewers a chance to watch titles prior to their DVD release.[4] Movies and packaged specials are available at $2.99 each while episodes are available at $.99 each.
The linear channel is available on AT&T U-verse, Frontier FiOS, iFiber Communications, Groton Utilities, Sjoberg's Inc, SureWest, TVMAX, and Wavevision.[5] Choice Cable TV recently launched the HD & SD linear feed of the channel in Puerto Rico, increasing the channel's footprint.[6] Verizon FiOS previously carried the channel and Bridges TV, but dropped it in March 15, 2012 due to "very low viewership".[7] In April 2012, Verizon FiOS TV brought Funimation Channel back to its service via Video on Demand. Funimation Channel premiered such titles as Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos movie and Okami-san on its VOD service.[8] The subscription video on-demand service for Funimation Channel is available on Optimum,[9] Charter Communications,[10] Armstrong Cable.[11] The channel launched its HD feed on September 27, 2010.[12]
Colors TV block[edit]
The Funimation Channel started out as a block on television network Colours TV. Programs during this era were Dragon Ball, Negima!, Kodocha, The Slayers, Blue Gender, Kiddy Grade, Fruits Basket, Case Closed and YuYu Hakusho.
The Funimation Channel is North America's second 24-hour English-dubbed anime digital cable network. The first was A.D. Vision's Anime Network[13] The service originally was available to a few cities via UHF digital signals and was temporary as the channel was trying to gain a foothold in the already crowded digital cable landscape. Another short-term service was the syndication of a FUNimation Channel block to one of OlympuSAT's affiliate networks, Colours TV syndicated block.[14] Both services were discontinued in favor for a more successful expansion on digital cable, fiber optics and DBS systems, making it now a cable television network. As of September 27, 2010, a High Definition feed was launched alongside existing VOD services.[15] On February 16, 2012, Verizon announced that it will drop Funimation Channel and Bridges TV from its Verizon FiOS service "on, or after March 15" due to "very low viewership".[7] In response to reaction from Verizon FiOS TV customers, FiOS TV returned Funimation Channel via Video on Demand.[16] Channel 262 remains on the FiOS system operated by Frontier Communications in some ex-Verizon territories.[17] Cablevision's Optimum TV recently launched[18] FUNimation Channel On Demand in the NY/NJ/CT Tri-State area. Adding this MSO increased FUNimation Channel's footprint to over 40 million households nationwide.

Spoken But Unwritten
Because they may be called to account for their hypocritical behavior, you may find people in authority saying things like these, but you most likely won't find them written into the Employee Handbook:
"Providing the freedom to fail is an important trait of the company— we couldn't expect so much of individuals if we also penalized people for errors. Even expensive mistakes, or ones which result in a very public failure, are genuinely looked at as opportunities to learn. We can always repair the mistake or make up for it."
"But problems show up when hierarchy or codified divisions of labor either haven't been created by the group's members or when those structures persist for long periods of time. We believe those structures inevitably begin to serve their own needs rather than those of Valve's customers. The hierarchy will begin to reinforce its own structure by hiring people who fit its shape, adding people to fill subordinate support roles. Its members are also incented to engage in rent-seeking behaviors that take advantage of the power structure rather than focusing on simply delivering value to customers."
"…for the most part working overtime for extended periods indicates a fundamental failure in planning or communication. If this happens at Valve, it's a sign that something needs to be reevaluated and corrected. If you're looking around wondering why people aren't in "crunch mode," the answer's pretty simple. The thing we work hardest at is hiring good people, so we want them to stick around and have a good balance between work and family and the rest of the important stuff in life."
"Our profitability per employee is higher than that of Google or Amazon or Microsoft, and we believe strongly that the right thing to do in that case is to put a maximum amount of money back into each employee's pocket. Valve does not win if you're paid less than the value you create. Over time, compensation gets adjusted to fit an employee's internal peer-driven valuation.
"T", "Hyphen", And "I" People
the company talks about "T" people:
We value "T-shaped" people. That is, people who are both generalists (highly skilled at a broad set of valuable things—the top of the T) and also experts (among the best in their field within a narrow discipline—the vertical leg of the T). We often have to pass on people who are very strong generalists without expertise, or vice versa. An expert who is too narrow has difficulty collaborating. A generalist who doesn't go deep enough in a single area ends up on the margins, not really contributing as an individual.
That's too bad for the typical borg. These beasts actively recruit and develop horizontal "hypen" (mgrs, execs) people and vertical "I" (induhvidual contributors) people. Of course, the stewards of these dinosaurs get what they wish for. On top of that, anybody who tries to self-improve towards a "T" person is silently ignored. It would screw up the nice and tidy employee-in-a-box process of emasculation.
Come To Papa!
I recently listened to a fascinating podcast interview of Valve Inc's "economist-in-residence", Yanis Varoufakis. According to Yanis, the company is still organizationally flat after 17 years of existence.
The thought early on at Valve was that the maximum limit to flatness would be around 50-60 people. Above that, in order to keep the wheels from falling off, some form of hierarchy would be required for concerted coordination. However, currently at 300+ employees, Valve has managed to blow through that artificial barrier and remain flat. Mind you, this is not a company solely made up of like-thinking engineers. There are also artists, animators, writers, and accountants running around like a herd of cats inefficiently doing the shit that brings in $1B in revenue each year.
According to Yanis, in order to maintain their egalitarian culture, Valve can't afford to grow too quickly. That's because they have to deprogram people who are hired in from hierarchical borgs as former bosses who expect others to work for them, and former workers who expect to be "directed" by a boss. If Valve didn't do this, their culture would get eaten alive by the pervasive and mighty command-and-control mindset. The spontaneity, creativity, and togetherness that power their revenue machine would be lost forever.
Nevertheless, Valve is pragmatic with respect to hierarchy:
"Valve is not averse to all organizational structure—it crops up in many forms all the time, temporarily. But problems show up when hierarchy or codified divisions of labor either haven't been created by the group's members or when those structures persist for long periods of time. We believe those structures inevitably begin to serve their own needs rather than those of Valve's customers. The hierarchy will begin to reinforce its own structure by hiring people who fit its shape, adding people to fill subordinate support roles. Its members are also incented to engage in rent-seeking behaviors that take advantage of the power structure rather than focusing on simply delivering value to customers." – The Valve employee handbook
Whether Valve knows it or not, their success is due to their respect of some of Gall's system laws:
- Systems develop goals of their own as soon as they come into existence – and intra-system goals come first.
- Loose systems last longer and work better. Efficient systems are dangerous to themselves and others.
Posing Your Way To Success
On the left-hand side of the diagram below, we have a static system design structure where four "workers" and their manager have their hearts set on producing a world class product. On the right, we have an alternate system design where only one worker has his/her heart set on creating a world class product. The other team members are too busy posing, competing, and jockeying for positional stature in the mind of the manager for their next upward career move. It's not shown on the diagram, but that manager is also jousting with his peers to advance his/her career.
In orgs where the policies/procedures/incentives/rewards promote individual performance over (and at the expense of) team performance, you'll most likely find the design structure on the right in operation. Which archetype does your system design map onto?
I don't know where I read it, but I remember someone giving great advice about using "I-Speak" to present your case on a sensitive issue. Don't go blasting away and saying stuff like "everyone thinks the system is a freakin' disaster". Instead, say "I have a hard time using the system as it's designed".
In really uptight and unresponsive groups, preface your concern with "I can only speak for myself, but…". But don't forget, in zero tolerance bureaucracies, keep your "I" trap totally shut tight and keep toiling along in quiet desperation.
Preventers, Not Managers
The worst companies directly contribute to the physical and emotional deterioration of their DICforces by unceasingly imposing ridiculous schedules and ratcheting up the (unspoken) pressure to work massive amounts of unpaid overtime for long stretches of time. Average companies do the same under the tired old mantra of "it's a hostile business environment", but they take good care of their DICsters after much damage is done. The best of the breed are highly self-aware systems that actively practice "crisis prevention" – not "crisis management". They diligently monitor the "system's" vital signs and know when things are getting too toxic for their people. Unlike the worst and the average, the best actually take effective action to relieve the stress on their people before the wreckage accumulates. They'll sacrifice some almighty dollars by relaxing schedules, or giving some extra days off, or frequently providing small tokens of appreciation to counter the toxicity of the operational environment. They are preventers, not managers.
Wouldn't it be kool if the role of "manager" was jettisoned in favor of "preventer"? If anything, it would at least drive home what those in charge of others should really be doing – preventing, not managing.
Quantum Chaotic Complexity
How many institutions are still being managed in accordance with the knowledge learned from 17th century physics? These days, its networks and relationships, not billiard balls and force.
Leaders, Followers, Standers
Everybody knows what leaders and followers are, but what about "standers"? A stander is not a slacker. It's a capable person who is content to stay within his/her comfort zone doing the same thing over and over again.
BD00 thinks that all people are capable and they innately want to "move" forward either as a leader or a follower. It's a social system's culture that molds "standers" out of capable people.
In cultures where mistakes of commission are penalized and mistakes of omission go undetected and unacknowledged, the optimum strategy, courtesy of Russell Ackoff, is simply to do as little as needed to elude ex-communication. It's stagnation city with a burgeoning population of standers; sad for the people and sad for the org.
Under Or Over?
In general, humans suck at estimating. In specific, (without historical data,) software engineers suck at estimating both the size and effort to build a product – a double whammy. Thus, the bard is wrong. The real thought worth pondering is:
To underestimate or overestimate, that is the question.
In "Software Estimation: Demystifying the Black Art", Steve McConnell boldly answers the question with this graph:
As you can see, the fiscal penalty for underestimation rockets out of control much quicker than the penalty for overestimation. In summary, once a project gets into "late" status, project teams engage in numerous activities that they don't need to engage in if they overestimated the effort: more status meetings with execs, apologies, triaging of requirements, fixing bugs from quick-dirty workarounds implemented under schedule duress, postponing demos, pulling out of trade shows, more casual overtime, etc.
So, now that the under/over question has been settled, what question should follow? How about this scintillating selection:
Why do so many orgs shoot themselves in the foot by perpetuating a culture where underestimation is the norm and disappointing schedule/cost performance reigns supreme?
Of course, BD00 has an answer for it (cuz he's got an answer for everything):
Via the x-ray power of POSIWID, it's simply what hierarchical command and control social orgs do; and you can't ask such an org to be what it ain't.
Firefighter Fran
Being anointed as a firefighter in an org that's constantly battling blazes is one of the highest callings there is for any group member not occupying a coveted slot in the chief's inner circle. Hell, since you didn't start the fire and you're gonna try your best to save the lot from a financial disaster, it's a can't-lose situation. If you fail, you'll be patted on the back with a "nice try soldier; now we're gonna go find the firestarter and kick his arse to kingdom come". If you extinguish the blaze, at least you'll lock in that 2% raise for this fiscal year. You might even get an accompanying $25 Dunkin Donuts gift card to keep your spare tire inflated with dozens of delectable, confectionary delights.
Given the above context, let's start this heart-warming story off with you in the glorious role of firefighter Fran. You, my dear Fanny, oops, I mean Franny, have been assigned to put out a major blaze in one of your flagship legacy software products before it spreads to one of the nearby money silos and blows it sky high. Time, as always, is of the utmost importance. D'oh!
Since the burning pile of poop's "agile" architecture and design documentation is a bunch of fluffy camouflage created solely to satisfy some process compliance checklist, you check out the code base and directly fire up vi (IDEs are for new age pussies!) for some serious sleuthing.
After glancing at the source tree's folder structure and concluding that it's an incomprehensible, acronym-laden quagmire, you take the random plunge. With fingers a tremblin' and fire hose a danglin', you open up one of the 5000 source code files that's postfixed with the word "Main". You then start sequentially reading some hieroglyphics that's supposed to be source code and you come to an abrupt halt when you see this:
And… that's it! The story pauses here because BD00′s lizard brain is about to explode and it's your turn to provide some "collaborative", creative input.
So, what does our guaranteed-to-be-hero, fireman Fran, do next? Does the fire get doused? Does the pecuniary silo explode? Is the firestarter ever found? Does Fanny get the DD gift card? If so, how many crullers and donut holes does he scarf down?
Who knows, maybe you can become a self-proclaimed l'artiste like BD00 too, no?

From Komisarjevsky in the 1920s, to Cheek by Jowl's Russian 'sister company' almost a century later, Russian actor training has had a unique influence on modern British theatre. Russians in Britain, edited by Jonathan Pitches, is the first work of its type to identify a relationship between both countries' theatrical traditions as continuous as it is complex.
Unravelling new strands of transmission and translation linking the great Russian émigré practitioners to the second and third generation artists who responded to their ideas, Russians in Britain takes in:
- Komisarjevsky and the British theatre establishment.
- Stanislavsky in the British conservatoire.
- Meyerhold in the academy.
- Michael Chekhov in the private studio.
- Littlewood's Theatre Workshop and the Northern Stage Ensemble.
- Katie Mitchell, Declan Donnellan and Michael Boyd.
Charting a hitherto untold story with historical and contemporary implications, these nine essays present a compelling alternative history of theatrical practice in the UK.

Steve Knight, the writer behind such films as Eastern Promises and Dirty Pretty Things, has finally secured a budget, AND a leading man for his upcoming action-drama Hummingbird. Stuntman-turned-action-superstar Jason Statham will helm the starring role in Knight's directorial debut film.
Check out the Eastern Promises-ish sounding details of Statham's role in Hummingbird, after the jump.
As I mentioned earlier, Knight was the writer behind the heavy European gang-flick Eastern Promises, and after hearing the overview of Statham's role in Hummingbird, it's quite apparent the two scripts were penned by the same writer.
In the upcoming film Hummingbird, Statham will star as an ex-Special Forces soldier who winds up working on the wrong side of the law in London's crime-ridden underbelly. But as luck would have it, Statham's character happens upon the gift of a brand new identity – an identity which he will use to fight crime with …this time around.
See what I mean? Although, it's not quite the same story Knight used in Eastern Promises, both films share a similar theme/feel — The story takes place in the European criminal underworld. The "seemingly bad guy" isn't actually a bad guy after all.
Lets just hope there isn't another shower room fight scene in this one… :/
Anyways, filming for Hummingbird is scheduled to begin early 2012, on location in "foggy London Town". IM Global will finance the film.

The court found that although Mexico's 31 states are not required to allow same-sex marriages to be performed in their jurisdictions, they must confer marital rights to same-sex couples married in Mexico City. The decision came one week after the court ruled 8-2 that the Mexico City's same-sex marriage law is constitutional [JURIST report]. Same-sex civil unions are currently recognized in the Mexican state of Chihuahua and Uruguay [JURIST report]. Last month, Argentine President Cristina Fernandez [official website, in Spanish] signed a same-sex marriage bill into law after the bill was approved by the legislature [JURIST reports], making Argentina the first Latin American country to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide. Last week, a US federal judge ruled that the California state ban on same-sex marriage violates the US Constitution [JURIST report].

11:59 pm December 12, 2012, by Michael Carvell
Saturday night's Class AAAAAA state championship matches up the state's top two running backs.
Norcross High School's Alvin Kamara vs. Lovejoy's Travis Custis.
Custis is committed to Georgia Tech, while Kamara could be playing at archival UGA. Kamara has the Bulldogs as his co-leaders with Alabama, with Oregon still in the mix.
Alvin Kamara?
Loading ...
There's also Walton High School's Tyren Jones, who is committed to Alabama, but his senior season – and his team's championship hopes — ended abruptly after a knee injury.
The 5-foot-10, 195-pound Kamara is another one in the pipeline of prospects out of Norcross, the Gwinnett County powerhouse.
"He can just do so many things," Norcross coach Keith Maloof said. "He can catch the ball out of the backfield and had a 65-yard scoring reception (in the semifinals). He threw a touchdown pass (in the quarterfinals) … The kid can do just about anything you ask him to do."
How fast is Kamara? "He's quick," Maloof said. "When he gets his shoulders squared north and south, he can get skinny through the (defensive front), get to the secondary and make people miss."
Last Friday, Alabama's Kirby Smart and UGA's Mike Bobo were among the assistants that attended the Norcross win over Colquitt County in the semifinals to observe Kamara.
RB Alvin Kamara famously got 105 letters in one day from Alabama (AJC)
What about UGA? Kamara is the recruit that the Bulldogs desperately seek on offense, especially after 5-star Derrick Henry defected to Alabama. Kamara is much higher ranked that another UGA commit at RB, AJ Turman of Orlando — who came out of nowhere to commit to the Bulldogs over Tennessee last month. There's also UGA commit Tramel Terry of Goose Creek, S.C., who is expected to get a look at RB.
Here are some of the other prospects on Norcross:
#3 Shon Atkins, CB: The 5-8, 165-pound cornerback committed early to Cal, and is sticking with the Pac 12 school, despite the coaching change. Atkins has a reputation for making the big hit out of the secondary. "He's a great lockdown corner, and he's physical," Maloof said. "He's committed to Cal, unless something comes along that he thinks is better. But at this time, he's pretty solid to Cal, and I think that's what he's going to do."
#9 Jahmal Jones, DE: The late-blooming senior has offers from Southern Miss, Utah State, Middle Tennessee State and Marshall. He's 6-2, 227 pounds.
#5 Myles Autry, RB-WR: The 5-10, 175-pounder is one of the state's top juniors with a dozen early scholarship offers, including Georgia Tech and UGA. His older brother, Anthony Autry, signed with the Yellow Jackets last year. "Myles is just so elusive," Maloof said. "With the new style of offenses with the spread, he is the perfect fit for all those people. At slot receiver, he can go deep. He can run it at tailback and run between the tackles. The other thing he's good at is returning punts (with four touchdowns)."
#25 Lorenzo Carter, DE: The 6-5, 220-pound junior is up to around 20 early scholarship offers after hearing from Notre Dame and Ohio State within the last week. Carter leads Gwinnett County in sacks with 17. "He comes off the edge as well as anybody we've ever had, and he can stop the run," Norcross coach Keith Maloof said. "It's unbelievable the athletic ability he has at that position." Carter is still waiting on an offer from UGA." Many consider Carter to be better in high school than former Norcross standout Adrian Hubbard, who is one of Alabama's top defenders.
#48 Kevin Mouhon, LB: The 6-2, 210-pound junior was recently offered by Tennessee.

Why would AK want to play for a nincompoop that doesn't know to spike the ball or run behind an offensive line comprised of a bunch of private school all stars? He's going to Bama
5:31 am
Sorry but Bama can only sign so many. I used to have 140 kids on the roster. Bama might be god in football but last time i looked they were on probation the most also.
5:54 am
Why would AK want to play for a Coach who would throw him under bus if he tweaks his knee? Which absolutely he has done MANY times.

With two great freshman RB's, UGA does not desparately need Kamara. What we desparately need are some great OL's.
6:28 am
Play for satan who cares NOTHING about you or Richt who loves his players as people first?? Easy answer- Go Dawgs!!!!
December 12th, 2012
6:53 am
ROLL TIDE !! Play and win championships or win the SEC East –
7:00 am
Alvin is going to win BIG at Georgia or Alabama!! Just remember
one team wins SEC East Titles and of course the other wins NC'S
Hey Bama Fan #2
What about the players Coach Sick Satan has run off due to injury or sub par play?
Bama Fan 2 , Arrogence and ignorance is a deadly combination.
Not a tough question to answer to make.
How could UGA not extend a scholarship to so many AP All Americans that are from Georgia. Chance Warmack is one in particular. And you need OL players.
That is why you will not win a BCS Championship. 32 years and counting PUPPIES………WOOF WOOOF
At UGA it is all about:
Trans Am for HUSCHAL
And of course………………………Not going to a BCS BOWL GAME.
Have fun at the CAP ONE BOWEL Game………………………What's in your WALLET ?
Report this comment
Always………………………………….We are at the RITZ CARLTON and UGA is at MOTEL 6.
Look at the blog. UGA fans jumped on BAMA very quickly. Can you read ?
8:41 am
Bears Ghost, you obviously know nothing about research lol….. Awbarn isfar and away the most penalized SEC member. Post the facts Skippy or keepthe dribble to yourself. Got 23????????
8:45 am
01 Hawk- I guess you are in GA then as The Ritz Carlton doesn't have a location in Bama. Apparently it has something to do with people like you
8:46 am
Bama Stan is 01Hawk, so he couldn't read the first post because he made it!
9:10 am
Kimara is going to UGA and that is exactly what he should do. BAMA has 3 Rivals 100 backs committed in Jones, Tenpenny and Henry. Alvin would likely be moved to receiver if he came to Alabama and he made it clear he wants to play RB. Going to UGA will give him that opportunity and I dont blame him.
I do love how personally people take comments on this blog. Its quite entertaining.
9:19 am
AK Do you want to play for the SEC east or WIN a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP? Enough said!
9:27 am
There's also Walton High School's Tyren Jones, who is committed to Alabama, but his senior season – and his team's championship hopes — ended abruptly after a knee injury.
How long before Saban asks him to grayshirt or just withdraws his scholarship offer totally?
9:33 am
Just Asking? Come up with new material. This has happened to ONE person. The kid was asked to grayshirt to heal from an injury. He turned the offer down went to Kentucky and didnt play. If he cannot break into the line up at UK, how is he going to see the field at Alabama? Maybe he really is not good enough. Maybe it was his knee injury that had him below 100%. Who knows. What I do know is no one's scholarship was EVER withdrawn because of an injury but feel free to continue posting it if it makes your story better.
9:34 am
Well bama tree killas….. What happens when ole Saban goes to Texas or retires in two years u will return to the Shula days….remember that. Ohhhh u were pitiful then and we will still be winning the SEC east. A Dawg on shame.
9:39 am
Blunt…so I understand this from everyone on this blog, past and present. Saban is going to not only leave BAMA for Texas but for the Cowboys job and now the Cleveland Browns? That is one talented man right there. Will he be keeping the Alabama job as well? Just curious.
You just keep wishing that he is leaving or retiring anytime soon. However if he and Mark Richt left at the same time, who's record would you rather have? Richt and his 3 SEC championships or Saban's and his 4 SEC titles and 3 (soon to be 4) national championships?
PS…since you think you are all knowing when it comes to what is certain to happen at UA when Saban does leave, can you please share with me the winning lottery numbers for the upcoming $20M powerball drawing? Thanks!
9:45 am
Turman came out of nowhere? He's a 4-star by Rivals. Bigtime recruit…another clueless recruiting article by the AJC.
10:17 am
When Saban leaves for the Browns, will the state of Alabama fly their flags at half mask?
10:21 am
If Kamara can't decide btween UGA and bama then he is an idiot. I say let bama have him. It would make me sick to my stomach to watch some clown on our team that couldn't see what an honor it is to wear that G on his helmet.
10:36 am
Please SEC FOOTBALL remind me again how many scholly's bama has to give. Remember this would be the 4th rb to commit.The NCAA Committee on Infractions released a statement last year calling the University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa the following:
A "serial repeat violator," with an "abysmal infractions track record" and an "extensive recent history of infractions cases unmatched by any other member institution in the NCAA."
10:38 am
Thought Bama Stan got two years for T-bagging the LSU fan. Hard to tell because they all run around trying to stick it where it isn't wanted.
Lil Nicky is heading back to the NFL and Bama is heading back to mediocrity. Will be a joy to watch.
10:39 am
Bama really needs him since D. Henry will be lining up on the other side of the ball and Tyren Jones is about to get offer yanked
10:44 am
Bear's Ghost…That statement by the NCAA was made YEARS AGO, not last year. That was after the text book case they penalized us for. The penalties were enforced during Saban's time at Alabama but the infractions were done under Shula. Facts and all. Nothing that Saban has done at Alabama has been illegal or against the rules and I am sorry if that fact bothers you. We went through some bad times unders som very bad coaching hires and no BAMA fan will deny that. Seems fans other of team have trouble accepting the fact that Saban is the best in the business and has Alabama on top of college football right now, praying Saban leaves for another job. If you are a UGA fan, all I can say is…32-28!
10:46 am
Big Dawg…you may be right. Saban may leave (keep hope alive) but its not likely. If he did, we may very well revert back to our time under Dubose, Shula, etc. One thing I can guarantee you is that we wont go 32+ years without winning another national title. Elite teams dont!
10:48 am
McDawg…We don't "need" Kamara. It would certainly be a luxary though. We have Yeldon, Fowler, Hart and Drake all back next year in addition to the Jones, Tenpenny and Henry coming in. Henry may or may not play RN in the long run but he will not be on D. He is a guy you need to get the ball to so while he may outgrow the RB spot, he would likely make on heck of a TE or Hback.
10:58 am
Saban will be gone before any of these guys see the field. What's left after another NC against ND? Then Bama will be coached by Smart and we will see how smart that is. Back to the future.
11:05 am
Holy Guacamole….whats left? How about his legacy of eventually leaving as the best coach ever in college football. If BAMA wins on Jan 7, that gives him a total of 4 national titles. That's 2 shy of Bryant. He has said on many occasions that he prefers the college game to the NFL. Plus, why would you leave the best program in CFB to go to one of the worst in the NFL. Especially one that is in Cleveland. Ever been there? If not, I dont recommend it.
11:09 am
Do some of you realize we are talking about 17-18 year old kids?????? Please refer from degrading KIDS….Some of you are OLD MEN who have nothing to do but talk down about KIDS! GET A LIFE!!!
11:09 am
Alvin and Tyren should both come on to Athens. At bama they will be behind about six others. No serious playing time for at least a couple of years. AND CMR will NEVER throw you under the bus. He has always bent over backwards to take care of the young men who commit to UGA. Commitment is a two way street with him.
11:10 am
Alvin Kamara = DevilDawg#6 will be strapping on the G come next fall!
Tramel Terry voted Mr Football of the state of South Carolina!
@Blackoutanyone: The dude Jai Miller will be 28 years old next month on the 17th and will have to make the team as a walk-on. Miller at 6′ 3″ 200 lbs will try out as WR if he comes to UGA. (consider this a long shot)
UGA back in front, (at the moment) of Bama for Reuben… the sudden appearance of LB Matthew Thomas on the UGA recruiting scene could add a little heat under Reuben's seat… not room for both at UGA!
Montravius Adams has a Gurl friend who plans on attending UGA (I believe) the daughter of one of his HS coaches…. right now UGA leads over Clemson!
"Norcross Blue Devils Carpe diem"
"BELIEVE" in the "G"
11:13 am
I am talking about Saban's track record of moving every 4 years or so. How long has he been at Bama? There are drumbeats of offers at other colleges as well as Cleveland. Some people will pay big bucks for his track record.
11:24 am
Dawg-Gawn…Agree with you about Kamara. Will be at UGA. Foster i have no read on othe than he wont be at Alabama. Smart visited him last week but there are probably 3-4 schools ahead of us right now. I would guess he ends up at UGA as well. Thomas will end up at Miami. He has too much pressure to stay in town for college. No read on Adams. Jai Miller will be at UA if given the spot to walk on. He is from Alabama and was between BAMA and Stanford when he committed to Stanford and eventually bypassing college for MLB. Dont know much about him other than what the mods on BamaOnLine are reporting.
11:28 am
Holy Guacamole…there is no question about his track record of moving around. However, he is over 60 now and seems pretty content now with the success he has had at BAMA. Plus, his wife is very happy in Tuscaloosa and has no desire to leave. Add to that he still has a child in school at UA, in fact I think both of his kids are students. He has built BAMA into the powerhouse he wanted and has us playing for our 3rd NC in 4 years. Add to that the fact he has another very good recruiting class coming in and I think that gives him plenty of incentive to stay. There are other jobs out there but if it were money, BAMA can match anything anyone else can pay. I think he has 5-7 more years in him as a HC and i think they will be at Alabama.
10:21 am
If Kamara can't decide btween UGA and bama then he is an idiot. I say let bama have him. It would make me sick to my stomach to watch some clown on our team that couldn't see what an honor it is to wear that G on his helmet.
Interesting recruting approach there, Moist. We Alabama fans approve. Of course, we're not very sophisticated so you may want to get a second opinion.
11:46 am
SEC – you may be right. As a UGA fan, I hope not. My hope may be influencing my belief. Is yours?
11:47 am
Look for Saban, maybe to become the AD at Alabama with Kirby stepping in as HC. Too much stress and expectations on Saban or any human for that matter, to keep winning on the scale in which he has.
Saban has been good for the SEC and all of college football…. hey, maybe he becomes the commissioner of the SEC…. Roll Tide over ND!
"BELIEVE" in the "G"
11:49 am
Gawn, I wonder if Saban staying on as AD would give Smart or any other coach enough oxygen.
Looks like UGA and Alabama have about the same number of slots open and are still competing for many of the same kids. Last weeks will be interesting.
11:50 am
Holy Guac,Saban left his other jobs for better opportunities each time.How many of us wouldn't do the same?This is his 6th year at Bama and posters have said every year he would leave for USC,Notre Dame,Penn St.,Dallas Cowboys,Texas etc.
12:16 pm
Don – sometimes if you say if it enough, it will become truth (at least to you) and others will agree. Eventually, he will move on. Gosh, Richt is the dean of SEC coaches at 11 years. Too much pressure these days to build an instant dynasty, even though Saban is doing a good job. But staying on top is tough.
12:22 pm
Kirby looks to be breathing fine as a DC now… the AD position at Alabama would relieve some of the direct pressure off of Saban while keeping him in charge over everything… the Saban way! Also giving Kirby access to his mentor if needed (training wheels) and would only work for Kirby or maybe another Sabanite.
Yeah, agree on the recruiting, just like the SECCG it was a WAR… would love to see them T it up again… how bout, best out of three? (last year, you guys got a second shot at LSU)

Lottery Reports More Than $6.3 Million in Winning Draw-Style Tickets & More Than $7.4 Million Claimed from Scratch-Off Tickets during March
Buying a house, paying off business loans and taking a nice vacation are just some of the things that March winners of Louisiana Lottery draw-style games said they would do with the more than $6.3 million won last month. During March, the Louisiana Lottery also reported more than $7.4 million in winning tickets claimed from winning scratch-off game tickets.
March's winning draw-style tickets included three Easy 5 jackpot prizes averaging $33,333 each, one "match-5" Powerball prize of $200,000, nine Powerball prizes of $10,000 each, and 134 "match-5" Lotto prizes averaging $1,949 each. Pick 3 prizes totaled $2,113,700 and Pick 4 prizes totaled $1,503,000.
Easy 5 prizes totaled $259,578 with an additional $239,487 in ezmatch prizes. For an additional $1, players can add ezmatch to their Easy 5 ticket for the chance to win up to $250 instantly.
"Over 27,000 Power Play purchasers won a bonus total of $325,446 in addition to their regular Powerball prize," Lottery President Rose Hudson said. For an additional $1, the Power Play option offers Powerball ticket purchasers the chance to multiply any nonjackpot-related prize up to five times depending upon the Power Play multiplier number randomly selected during the drawing.
In total, draw-style game winnings were $6,333,863 for last month. Lottery draw-style game players have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim any winnings.
"We encourage players to sign the back of their tickets immediately after purchasing and to check them promptly after the drawing. Even if a ticket does not win the jackpot, it could have won another prize," Hudson added.
In addition to $7,480,548 in scratch-off cash prizes paid during March, players also claimed $1,501,327 worth of free tickets. Scratch-off players have 90 days from the official game closure date to redeem a winning ticket. According to Lottery policy, scratch-off games are closed when all top prizes are claimed.
While actual game performance and the amount of prizes claimed will vary from month to month, the Lottery allocates at least 50 percent of sales to fund prizes. At least 35 percent of sales is transferred to the state treasury for the Minimum Foundation Program that funds public education in Louisiana. Retailers are paid at least 5 percent in commission, and the Lottery retains less than 10 percent of sales to operate.
Hudson reminded ticket purchasers to play responsibly, encouraging anyone who has a gambling problem, or friends and family of anyone with a gambling problem, to call toll-free 1-877-770-7867 for help. Ticket purchasers must be at least 21 years of age.

Leading Leaders' primary focus is to create dramatically improved performance and life satisfaction for people, by helping them understand who they are first and then where they are gifted. Then turning those abilities into their strongest contribution to the world.
February 28th 2012
February 22nd 2012
January 29th 2012
To most, it looks like you have it under control. Just the right amount of charring, a little crisp and best when HOT. You "go" well with many other pairings, and are fairly adaptable. To some however, you are not quite there - 'and therein lies the rub'. You know you have what it takes, but they don't seem to acknowledge it. You try varying approaches, ever changing your strategy to make the connection, but with limited success. You've thought about an edge, but it got rounded off some time ago to appear more 'palatable' to others.
Your intuitions are correct. You need an edge. Shaving off what makes you helpfully unique, in the spirit of not offending others, is the source of your disgruntlement. Take a stand, be about your passions and allow the full impact of your contribution to the world to come through. We need it.
On occasion you might feel a little embarrassed or intimidated, because there is a small part of you that is charred. Its OK most of the time and some folks even like it 'crispy', but it makes it tougher to get along with others sometimes. You still have enough energy, but you know the tank is draining and you are very grateful for Fridays. You think about looking for another job, but you don't really have the time.
The thoughts about job hunting are the give away, along with the TGIF relief. You sense increased pressure internally and -for now- can redirect it into energy, but you know it is accumulating. Part of your biggest frustration is that you are not sure why you are frustrated, you just know you are. BEWARE! A vacation can help, but more than likely you need more clarity to address this discontent.
Every once in a while it just comes out. The word, the phrase, it just tells on you like there's something a little fried on the inside. People don't seem to notice, or at least they don't say anything. You grow more and more disgruntled with your everyday activities and are now frustrated enough to talk openly about it with certain people. You are not irrecoverably charred, but some are getting turned off by you.
The idea that you might find some relief by talking about it, is the indication that your condition is worsening. You probably struggle to distinguish your personal frustration, with your work frustration. Tell about your challenges carefully because they could lead to concept or people bashing, when really what needs to happen is for you to more clearly understand where you fit best and to make that change. It may sound complicated,
You can't hide it anymore. The charring is too evident. You have lost the desire to cover it too. People are beginning to avoid you, and it is really affecting you. Almost all your conversations are about your challenges and it is beginning to color all that you think about too. You are looking for other jobs on the weekend and are calculating how much sick time you have left, wondering if you could take some of it this year? Your health could be deteriorating too.
The writing is on the wall. Very few people like burnt toast and you are loosing some of your connections. Don't internalize the anger, use the energy to discover what is good about you and what you have, to contribute to the world. Your frustration could come from the fact that you are not being seen or used where you are strong. It's not their job to understand your abilities - its yours. Take control of your future and your happiness and do something about it.
At this point you are almost toxic to others. You are so 'Toasted' that people avoid you and friends are hiding. No-one seems to be able to help you, and fewer are willing to listen. It seems like this is all you talk about anymore and it is even wearing you out. You look for jobs online during work hours and almost wish you would get caught, because then the anguish would end. You used to like it here, but all that is changed now. Your heart races without solicitation and your worst time of the week is Sunday night.
It is time for radical change. Get out - now. Go find yourself. You are not operating out of your own abilities - you are wearing someone elses clothes and they don't fit and you are tired of it. It is time to go back to basics. Time to rediscover WHO you are and get about that. You have some amazing talents that you sacrificed for the sake of performance, provision or status. Don't do that anymore. The way it is affecting you and your health, demands that you attend to it. You need help.
What an incredible investment you've made in us. Thank you for helping me be a better leader, for helping equip my team to better appreciate and understand all that God has called them to be.

John Tortorella is a Raving Douche
This happened a few days ago during game 5, which, of course, the Rangers lost, and with game 7 set for tonight in D.C., Dan Steinberg interviewed the Caps fan who was involved in the incident.
By all accounts, John Tortorella is an awful human being. He was a complete asshole in Tampa Bay. If you don't believe me, just ask Vinny Prospal.
When the Rangers hired him, it was a match made in heaven, an asshole coach taking the bench in New York. Perfect. To make matters more entertaining, the Rangers signed the crazy Sean Avery back to the fold, the same Sean Avery Tortorella ripped as an analyst before getting back into coaching. He bashed Avery basically for being an asshole. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Anyway, with Tortorella's outburst during game 5, and subsequent suspension for game 6, Tortorella is showing his true colors. No matter what happened, an NHL coach should have the restraint to control himself from the taunts of fans. He's supposed to be a professional. But instead, he lost his composure, just as his team has done. The Rangers already squandered their 3-1 series lead, and it would only be fitting if Washington bounced New York tonight, overcoming a big deficit and sending Tortorella's ass home.
The guy may be one hell of a coach (he has the Stanley Cup to prove it), but an asshole like him deserves nothing short of embarrassing his organization and his city by losing three straight games after being up 3-1.

There are great coaches who are crazy/loud/confrontational in sports.
Torts, Billy Martin,Bill Belichick, Mike Singletary, Mike Ditka....
And if one or two players who happen to be there can't deal with it then they are free to leave when the contract is up or ask for a trade. But like the announcer in the clip said let's see how tough that fan really is if the glass wasn't there. guaranteed the guys gets his ass kicked. I have no problem with Heckling and talking some shit,sports isn't sports without it. But if you want to take it to physical contact of some kind like dumping a beer on a coach or player then that fan should be a man and not hide behind the glass come down and get ur can of whip ass put on you,....i can agree with that pretty much, but sometimes the asshole personality approach works for certain guys hence my list. all those guys have won with the exception of singletary, i do think that one day he will win though he knows the game. they just need to get him the right players and a new QB Alex Smith is never gonna be shit.
ReplyDeleteon a side note after watching the replay of the Hartnell hit that was clean. he was just in a bad spot reaching for the puck. This is why most Europeans are soft they don't play the game with same kind of physical stuff and in North America. Now the Brashear hit on Betts was not clean is away from the puck and was a blindside forearm/elbow to the head. I want him dead he's a worthless piece of shit.

"Nobody Loves You" is probably not a phrase you want to hear, especially when kicked off a reality dating show in front of millions of people.
Read Whole Story
There has been talk throughout my career of allowing NYC theaters to get the Regional Theatre Tony. They've wanted it. I've always thought it was sort of a ridiculous, greedy desire.
"Dogfight" asks theatergoers to trust in three hormonal jarheads who set in motion a rite of passage for themselves on the eve of their deployment to Vietnam, scouring SF to find the ugliest woman imaginable (i.e. a "dog") to bring to a dance.
What is so important about Mr. Braff's new play, now running at off-Broadway's Second Stage Theatre in New York City, is that it questions the very essence of what it is to be human.
Enough cliches in that headline for you? Here are my impressions of two revivals: one Broadway and one Off. DRIVING MISS DAISY ** out of **** Golde...

Are you making money with Google Adsense and struggling with low revenue? If yes, you are in the same situation with many bloggers who are running PPC ads on their sites. The problem here is not sometimes coming from your low quality contents or traffic, it can likely come from the placements of your ads or your ad unit size you are running. Why? Let's discuss this and we will find the better way to maximize your adsense revenue.
I myself have been running Google Adsense on many site from authority to niche sites and experienced this issue from one to another. Some sites with low traffic get higher CPC than the sites with high volume of traffic. That's why I came to a conlusion that the way we show our ads to readers play an important role in boosting our revenue. Of course, there are many other factors influencing your online revenue too.
Google has suggested its publishers to test out different ad units to optimize their revenue online and few of them did the right way. Optimizing the ad placements without adsense policy violation would help very much in boosting our revenue. This can't be done manually and most of us usually choose the right themes or plugins to do this. I have tested out several themes called adsense-optimized themes but most of them did not work properly until I tried CTR theme.
CTR Theme Plus is not new to many of you have I am sure that many of you here have tried this theme too. The revenue from Google Adsense from previous themes compared to new theme is different in terms of clicks and further, it also protects us from click bombing from your competitors too.
Let's have a look at this theme control panel and see why it helps:
You have different parts to optimize your site and you have up to now 10 sub-themes to use if you think the current sub-theme does not work well. The same volume of traffic and contents but the revenue is different between themes you are using. That's what I have experienced.
The most important part that makes this theme exclusive from others in the market is that it offers you 7 layouts of ads display. That means every time your blog/post are viewed, adsense ads will show at different positions and match with your site color too. This will help you draw more attention from your readers and you will likely get more clicks from them too. The theme does it automatically without any support from third party plugins.
Another point that I love about this section is that it can help you track which layout bring the most clicks to your site and you can keep it like doing a A/B split testing. This is the part that other themes can't offer you:
That is not all this theme has. Why so? Google Adsense says that you are the only one who can keep your account in good standing. That means you are the one who has to protect your account, not Google or anyone else. The more click bombing or fraudulent clicks your sites receive, the higher chance your account will likely get disabled. That is the issue most of us worried about. That is also the reason why most of us don't want to show the sites we are placing adsense ads on. CTR theme plus has built this feature for us called Click Bombing Protection:
With this feature on, you are safely running Google Adsense on any sites without worries about click bombing. What you need to do is to configure how your adsense ads should be displayed for each IP or how many clicks one visitor can make for a specific period. That is awesome feature I have never seen elsewhere. You would love this as I do now.
There are many other features about CTR theme plus and you will get more sub-theme over the time. It is a theme with continuous improvement and you can use on unlimited sites for life.
If you buy it today, you will save $30 and it is worth your investment as I do.
Are you using this theme on your money sites with adsense? Please share your comments!

It happens to the best of us.
One only has to look at the countless blogs, websites, photo galleries, video montages, and television shows dedicated to people messing up, doing stupid things, and best intentions turning disastrously bad to realize that everyone fails, in some sense of the term, at some point in their existence – and our society has come d0wn with a slight obsession with watching people do so. I guess it's fair to say that watching other people fail usually means you aren't, or, at the very least, makes your fails seem less fail-y.
Coming off of a two week hiatus from The Artist's Way, I've been thinking a lot about what it means to fail. To take it a step further, I've been thinking about what the conclusion means about me once I've determined whether I've actually failed or not. What separates failure from success? What does it mean if I've failed? Do I have to start over? Can I pick up where I left off? Has the entire endeavor been made less effective because of a tad of failure in the middle?
The Artist's Way was the great endeavor of my new year. I had committed myself to taking the time and the space necessary to develop my passion, creativity, and inner artist. Yet, for the past two weeks, I haven't read a single page from the book (despite completing five straight weeks ot readings and exercises with great success!). I haven't blogged. I haven't gone on a new Artist's Date. I haven't done any exercises or even created on my own. I've been in a downright creative funk. Continue reading

Are You Missing An Important Networking Opportunity?
Are you overlooking an important networking opportunity in your circle of friends? When an executive decides to start networking the first thing, he does is make a list of current and former managers, co-workers and other business contacts. While this list generally contains family members (because they have to help him), it often overlooks one significant group, his closest friends. It means he's missing out on the power of loose connections.

To me, unschooling does not lend itself to evangelism and yet there are some very vocal unschooling evangelists out there - there were a few who irritated me and then I discovered some more who make the first few seem mild, compassionate and dare I say "mainstream" by comparison.
So other than John Holt, are there any other authors / speakers whose guidance on unschooling has been valuable to you?
Moderator: is it all right to discuss / criticize specific unschooling books / websites?

The shortages, however, are only in certain areas and certain occupations. For example, welders, machinists and industrial machine mechanics are in short supply in the Southeast and Gulf Coast areas.
