EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Notre Dame is one of the few college football teams that truly can boast a national following.
Why, there's even an alumni chapter in the Minnesota Vikings locker room.
''It's really fun to be able to talk trash to everybody,'' said center John Sullivan, who has a leprechaun tattoo on his left shoulder.
Sullivan is one of five ex-Notre Dame players on the Vikings, the most of any NFL team. There are currently 26 former Fighting Irish on active rosters around the league, and the next-closest team is Indianapolis with three, according to STATS LLC.
So not only do Notre Dame alumni make up nearly 10 percent of Minnesota's roster but the Vikings have almost 20 percent of the NFL's, well, Irish heritage. After drafting Sullivan in the sixth round in 2008, they took tight end Kyle Rudolph in the second round in 2011. This year, they selected safety Harrison Smith in the first round and safety Robert Blanton in the fifth round. They also signed tight end John Carlson, a second-round pick by Seattle in 2008, as a free agent.
With the Fighting Irish undefeated and set to play Alabama for the BCS championship on Jan. 7, there's no doubt which school colors have been the brightest around the Vikings this season. Bragging rights were clear after Notre Dame beat Stanford (running back Toby Gerhart), Oklahoma (running back Adrian Peterson and right tackle Phil Loadholt) and of course rival USC (left tackle Matt Kalil, defensive end Everson Griffen and tight end Rhett Ellison).
''We're always coming in here after their games saying, 'We told you so.' So far it's been a good year,'' Smith said.
They've even roughed out a plan to fly to Miami for the big game, as long as a potential practice — should the Vikings make the playoffs — doesn't interfere.
Regular season games are typically tough to watch, with Saturday afternoon travel on weeks with road games or meetings in the hotel at night. But Blanton and Smith tried to watch together when the Vikings were on the road and Notre Dame had a prime-time kickoff. Sullivan chartered a flight with Rudolph and Loadholt to watch the game at Oklahoma on Oct. 27, a weekend the Vikings had off.
''Afterward, Phil came up to us and said, 'You guys just physically dominated the game,''' Rudolph recalled. ''It's been a long time since Notre Dame's gone on the road to a top-10 team and just dominated the game.''
That's true. None of these five teammates lost fewer than three times in any season they were at Notre Dame. Some years, they didn't even play in a bowl game.
Jealousy of the current team isn't part of their mindset, though.
''Pretty proud of those guys,'' Blanton said.
Just as proud of the traditionally strict academic standards, as they all noted, as the success on the field.
''They follow the rules there. It's one of those places where you don't get away with stuff. They expect you to go to class. They make sure everyone graduates,'' said Carlson, who met his wife, Danielle, at Notre Dame.
The Vikings didn't exactly make a conscious effort to create such a high concentration of former Fighting Irish.
''I think it was more coincidence because we're always going to stack our draft board according to a player's ability, and our rating system is building on upside and potential,'' general manager Rick Spielman said. ''I don't know that we've honed in, just because they go to a Notre Dame or a USC or an Ohio State or something like that.''
The Vikings, though, have shaped their roster philosophy around a stated desire for tough, smart, passionate players, attributes that Notre Dame products often possess, even during some of the down years they've had in the last decade.
''Clearly there's something about that school that our front office and the people making our personnel decisions like, but at the same time it really comes down to a case by case basis,'' Sullivan said. ''You can find great people from a whole lot of schools. I think we've got a lot of great people here. That can come from the whole spectrum of college football.''
Only the Notre Dame guys will be able to cheer for their team in the national championship game next month, however. The Vikings don't have any Alabama players on the roster now.
''We have to make sure that while we're on top,'' Rudolph said, ''we let everyone else know.''

First storm in series sweeps into the Bay Area

Bay Area prepares for series of storms
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The first in a series of storms blew into the Bay Area Wednesday, bringing with it heavy rain, high winds, power outages and flight delays.
Marin takes brunt of rain
The storm did not fully hit Marin County until midmorning, but when it did arrive, it was strong, steady, and saturating. But this is just the first of three storms expected to pass through in the coming days. At Pini's Hardware in Novato, there was a run on rain gear and tarps as the first system approached.
"Over the last couple of days everyone's been pretty much preparing themselves between the tarps and the raingear and the plastic and stuff like that," Russ Young said. "Everybody's needing something to cover their roof, patio furniture, product outside, wood, stuff like that. It's been pretty chaotic."
When the rain let up Wednesday afternoon, people seized upon the opportunity to stock up on sand bags.
The most dangerous aspect of the first storm has been the roads. California Highway Patrol officials in Sonoma County reported 16 traffic collisions beginning with the arrival of the rain around 6 a.m., twice the normal number. At one point in the morning, officials shut down one northbound lane of Highway 101 just before Sir Francis Drake Boulevard because of standing water. "The highway is treacherous," motorist Katie Von Der Werth told ABC7 News. "It's very bad, very windy, very bad."
With a creek cutting through downtown, San Anselmo has had several major floods. Some businesses now have flood gates that lock in place to keep the water out. But Wednesday, a few of them had only sand bags set aside.
Emergency officials say they are not really worried about Wednesday's storm. It's the next few days that are making them nervous. The Marin County Department of Public Works will have crews on standby. The main concern is for any fallen trees because of the saturated ground. They are also worried about people who haven't prepared. They say that with rain this heavy and a couple storms still on the horizon, problems aren't a matter of if, but when.
"The most concern is for our citizens and to make sure that they know what to do and when they're without any kind of power, they're pretty stranded, and communications is the number one thing for us, to be able to ensure that people can communicate," Marin County Emergency Coordinator Ursula Hanks said.
Rain makes for slow South Bay commute
The rain made for sloppy driving in the South Bay. The fog and heavy rain on Highway 17 was so treacherous during the morning commute that some drivers decided to wait it out.
"I stopped over here because the rain is heavy and driving hillside especially," Angel Zmoeta said.
The CHP tried to minimize problems by running traffic breaks to keep cars going at a slow and steady pace.
"Hydroplaning can result from driving too fast and your breaking time greatly increase dos we're trying to slow people down," Ofc. Sarah Jackson said.
On Highway 9 in the heart of San Lorenzo Valley, it couldn't get any slower. The wild weather knocked a tree into a power line and the downed wires backed up traffic for miles.
Weather slows arrivals at SFO
Strong winds caused problems at San Francisco International Airport Wednesday morning. There were only a few flight delays of 15-30 minutes, but more than 60 flights had been cancelled by 11 a.m., mostly short haul flights up and down the West Coast. The Federal Aviation Administration implemented its flow-control program for SFO because of the weather, slowing the rate of arrivals.
SF officials close Great Highway
Strong winds sent sand blowing across the Great Highway all day Wednesday. The city decided the conditions were too dangerous. Drivers are not allowed to travel in either direction between Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard.
They have not said when it will be open again.
Crews work to avoid flooding in the Mission District
Whenever there's heavy rain in San Francisco, there are complaints of water backing up in the Mission District.
As a precaution Wednesday, city workers brought in sandbags to protect businesses and homes.
The neighborhood is a former lagoon, so rainwater runs down from other neighborhoods.
The city offers people 10 sandbags a piece, to protect their property.

Three accused of selling pot, LSDSeptember 13, 2013Three people have been arrested in Marietta for trafficking in large quantities of marijuana and the hallucinogenic LSD.... townieI'm personally getting so sick of reading these same stories,week after week in the paper that I rarely give them a 2nd look. Get on the ball Sheriff,these re-runs are getting very old,very fast! 1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » JoshBrownMaritta needs to have all rentals inspected once a year and make the owners get a permit.Portsmouth has been doing this for a few years now it hasn't stop the drug problem but its slowed it down.The war on drugs can't be won but we need to keep our children safe.We need the DEA to come to town and clean house .When they raid a house they take everything and sell the property and the landlord is out of luck. 1 Agrees | 7 Disagrees | Report Abuse » momma4Ok got to start it, but whatever..BungalowRose...poison?? Really, are you aware that your friendly government was behind the creation of ***, they tested it on Vietnam Soldiers. When they realized that it intensifies the senses, AS WELL AS opens up areas of the mind that we do not normally utilize, they pulled it, couldn't have those boys out their getting any ideas right?? And marijuana poison, look at all the medicinal benefits. Its not poison, its just not legal in Ohio because it can't be regulated or taxed. You want my opinion and yes feel free to blast away, the best thing that could happen to this lazy society we live in today is for someone to "dose" the people laying around and maybe they would realize just how pathetic their lives are and get up and make a CHANGE for the betterment of SOCIETY! 8 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » KOMBATBOOTSSteelergirl, you said just what I said to another commentor blaming the landlord for a her*ine dealer's actions. When are people going to learn that personal responsibility is where it's at! The drug dealers are the guilty party and they need look no farther for someone to lay blame on! I do believe they should legalize, and tax pot, and save the drug eradication money for the harder drugs that cause more crimes. 11 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » steelergirlWhy are the landlords greedy, BungalowRose? I'm sure they check people out, but if you have not been caught before they are not going to know that you are a drug dealer. Also, landlords don't always live near the tenants to see the activity going on. Blame the drug dealers - not everyone else!!! 9 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » CrandallDo ya suppose they come here because of the ridiculously light sentencing deals they get from the prosecutor? Even for repeat drug offenders? I mean, what other serious crimes can you repeatedly commit here & still only get 90 days, serve about 30 of them, get out on parole then violate that parole not once but twice less than 2 years after the last 'major' drug bust they nailed you on & after the 2nd parole violation, they send you to rehab.....AGAIN?!?!?!?! I don't give a dem how many times they roll over on their druggie friends, after their 5th or 6th drug arrest, there should be NO deals for them. I still say the Times should look up the drug sentences and report on how many times a druggie has been arrested and what their sentences were, especially the repeat offenders and exactly just how much of those sentences they actually served. Yes, confidential informants are important but seriously, there should be a limit to the leniency for these fools. 8 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » asknotYes bungalow and seamstress! Lets increase the penalties for non violent drug offenders in our already over crowded prison system! The owners of prison will love it and make TONS more money and continue doing what we've been doing but more so! I mean the war on drugs is such a huge success we should just throw more money into and watch it completely get 100% of drugs off our streets since its working so well so far! LOL 8 Agrees | 6 Disagrees | Report Abuse » seamstressNothing will be done but the slap on the hand. Send them to Russia for a year in their prison system and I bet they come back a totally different person. Russia doesn't put up with type of crap. Maybe it's time we don't either! 7 Agrees | 6 Disagrees | Report Abuse » BungalowRosePoisoning our children...they should lock them up and throw away the key..and so whr are the greedy landlords..don't they check people out....or report suspicious activity 6 Agrees | 13 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 9 of 9 comments

With a gospel-fueled voice that sounds like a cross between the hard rock blast of Bon Scott and the joyful sweetness of Al Green, Mike Farris has taken a long time to balance his life and considerable talent. Devastated when his parents divorced when he was 11 years old, Farris tumbled early into the world of drugs and alcohol, a lifestyle that landed him in reform school. Nearly dying from an accidental overdose, he moved in with his father and began playing guitar and writing songs, gradually pulling himself out of the depths of his addictions. After forming the seminal 1990s blues jam band the Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies, however, the endless touring and bars sent him right back to his old bad habits, and while he put out fine music with SCW, with Peaceful Knievel, and during his stint as the singer for Double Trouble, Stevie Ray Vaughan's old rhythm section, Farris was in deep emotional trouble. Finally, in 2004, while attending the funeral of a friend, he decided he had enough, and embraced both God and sobriety. His two solo albums since, 2002's Goodnight Sun and the subsequent Salvation in Lights, produced in Nashville by Matt Martone and featuring Johnny Cash's longtime bassist Dave Roe, are remarkable musical and spiritual testaments to Farris' commitment to personal redemption. ~ Steve Leggett

horrible hair
July 28, 2013
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from rochester
The hair was great when I first put it in but after the first time I washed it, it started to tangle
horribly. At first I thought I did something wrong, but by judging other people's reviews, I don't think I did. The hair is just bad.

Don't even think about it
February 18, 2013
Reviewer: T Jackson from Il
This hair is awful. I have had it in for 17 days and it has tangled, shedding and the worst frizzing I have ever seen. Of course no one at the beauty supply store knows what happened. But I know what will never happen again. I paid 139.99 a pack for the 18in India wave and I bought 3 packs!!! I waste of my hard earned money not to mention the 120 I paid for the instillation. This company should be ashamed of themselves. When I tried to find a number to call them about the product failures it wasn't listed on their official website. REALLY!

This hair is TERRIBLE! It looks like a mop on my head! Very matted and janky looking and the amount of shedding that comes from it is ridiculous!!! Very disappointed with this product.

November 1, 2011 -
can't find where the instructions are? does one POST the day's writing each day as you write the novel? seems far to much to expect anyone to read – how much a day? what is intended length – a short 20,000 words or 80,000? bit confused.

On their first date, they were supposed to go out, but ended up spending the whole time in Payne's kitchen, talking about coal mining.
"I knew a side of him the coal mine didn't know," Pauley said. "At the mine, he was so strong-willed and outspoken, but with me, he was the most romantic, the most gentle person."
In 2006, before he met Pauley, Payne lost his fiancee in a motorcycle accident not far from his house. The two had dated for about a decade.
A few months later, he lost his mother to cancer.
"He lost the two women most important in his life," said Payne's sister, Shirley Whitt.
When he started bringing Bobbie Pauley around, Whitt says she played the role of questioning older sister.
"I asked 'how serious is this thing? Are you gonna marry this girl?'" Whitt recalled. "He said he was never going to marry again."
Payne had been married twice and been through two divorces. He told Pauley he wouldn't marry again. As time went on, though, the two started talking about marriage. Pauley said he eventually proposed, and bought her an engagement ring.
'This sounds like a man conversation'
Pauley said she understood from the beginning that being a miner meant being in a man's world and that she would have to adjust to that. There was only one other female miner at Upper Big Branch, she said.
Nationally, women make up just 6 percent of the nation's 88,000 coal miners, according to the National Mining Association. Female miners are far more common at surface mines in the western United States and at some underground operations in Alabama, said Phil Smith, a spokesman for the United Mine Workers union.
There were times when men would say things that made her uncomfortable, Pauley said. "I'd tell them this sounds like a man conversation, and then I'd go somewhere else for a while and come back."
Early on, a co-worker told her he didn't think women should be coal miners.
"Thank you for your unsolicited opinion," she said she told the man, "but I'm here and I'm not leaving."
The man eventually accepted her, she said.
After Pauley and Payne started dating, a young miner made a lewd comment to Bobbie on the way into the mine. When Payne stopped their mantrip, he could tell something was wrong.
Later, the mine's management found out about what was said and suspended the miner. After he argued about his suspension to the mine manager, he was fired.
"I didn't want the boy to be fired," Pauley said.
Payne was not quite as forgiving.
The next time he stopped her mantrip, he made sure everyone knew not to harass Pauley.
"He called out the whole mantrip," she said.
The guys didn't talk to her for a week, but she says she didn't have any problems after that.
'I was hoping you'd say that'
On April 4, Easter Sunday, the couple had a rare day off together. Payne asked Pauley if she wanted to go out to dinner or for a drive.
She asked him if they had to do anything.
"I said 'I just want to spend the day together. Can we just stay home and just spend time together? We never get to spend time together,'" Pauley told him.
"I was hoping you'd say that," he said.
The next morning, Payne left early for work. He never came back.
When the vigil started outside Upper Big Branch, Boone's father, Harold Payne Sr., spent the week with Pauley, Whitt and other family members.
"It was rough," said Payne, who Bobbie and Boone called Cecil. "We were all like a family, all the miners' families up there."
Cecil Payne spent 38 years as an underground coal miner, and he was less than thrilled when his son decided to follow in his footsteps.
"I tried to talk him out of it. He said, 'No.'" Cecil Payne said. "He wanted to work in the mines. So, I got him his first coal-mining job."
After the first day of waiting for word on the post-explosion rescue efforts, Pauley drove back to Boone Payne's house to get a change of clothes and a shower. She found a note he had left when he went to work.
When Pauley read the note, she cried and cried. It wouldn't be until Friday of that week that she found out that the man she loved, along with 28 others, had died in the explosion.
Pauley continued to work for a while in the office at Upper Big Branch, helping track gas monitoring to see if the mine was safe for investigators to enter. Later, she was transferred to a nearby Massey operation, the Parker Peerless Mine. She's had to move back to her own house in Fayette County.
Over the past year, she's started to think of the note almost as a goodbye letter, as Payne's way of showing her how much she meant to him, one last time.
"I want you to know that you are my baby and you are my rock," he wrote in the letter. "And I love you so much and always will."

Texas State, ACC partner in co-enrollment effort
Austin Community College and Texas State University are partnering for a new co-enrollment program.
The effort is designed to allow students to benefit from both the ACC and Texas State experiences while increasing the number of college graduates in Central Texas, school officials said.
ACC and Texas State announced the Pathway Program during the recent topping-out celebration for the ACC Hays campus.
Beginning in fall 2014, the program will allow students to take courses at ACC and Texas State simultaneously.
Participants will complete the core curriculum at ACC. As long as they maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.25, students will be guaranteed full admission for most Texas State majors for the completion of their bachelor's degree.
"With every education partnership we form, we are that much closer to reaching our collective goal – creating accelerated pathways for more students to achieve a college education," Dr. Richard Rhodes, ACC president/CEO, said. "This program allows students to save on tuition, earn an associate degree, and have a seamless transition as they work toward their bachelor's degree."
Students are expected to benefit from smaller, tailored classes with high academic standards at ACC while being introduced to the rigors and expectations of Texas State.
First-year students will have the opportunity to live in one of Texas State's residence halls, and Pathway Program participants will have access to a variety of activities and services through both institutions.
"The Pathway Program is an exciting initiative because it is designed to boost the number of students attending college at a time when our state is trying to increase the number of college graduates," Texas State University President Denise Trauth said. "That's important to Texas' future, as we know the jobs of tomorrow require skilled workers who are equipped to handle the rigors of a technology-based marketplace."
ACC's Hays Campus will open in spring 2014. It is located in the Kyle/Buda area (at the intersection of Kohler's Crossing and Kyle Parkway in Kyle).

Cant you use this to security of your incluedes.
$page = "path_to_file/$_GET[page].php";
// put de get variable in string, and indicated de directory where your subpages are
if (!file_exists($page)) {
$page = "index.php";
// if file not exists use the index.php
// include de file
Note. Include all your subpages in path_to_file and your extension may be .php -

The above code provides a little security - it limits people to only including PHP files from the local machine. However, a user can choose ANY PHP file on the machine (subject to the web server's account permissions) and include that file by using a value for page like '../../example'.
You could prevent this by checking the value using a regular expression (maybe'^[a-z_]*$'
) or by using therealpath
function to check that the resulting page is still in the desired directory.
(Note that if you were using the safe_mode setting it would be a bit different, but may still be insecure).
Hope this helps.

$HTTP_POST/GET_VARS are obsolete. No one should be using old versions of PHP. Use $_GET and $_POST.
