What happens when a nation with a "bootstrap" self-image settles into a state of uncertainty?
The dollars are flowing into both parties' campaign committees. Here's why it might not matter.
Entering a presidential race is effectively a nine-year commitment: one year to run, another eight if she runs for reelection and wins.
Nancy Pelosi's campaign committee is flush, even though she's unlikely to become speaker again next year. But it's Senate Democrats who need the most help.
There's not a lot happening in Washington, and what little is possible is already being done. No wonder people are looking ahead.
I was a bit clueless. But living and working among gay people helped me, like others, understand.
Democrats and Republicans are ready for November, but it's not clear that either of their story lines will resonate across the spectrum.
Improving employment figures may not be enough to dispel people's legitimate worries that they are falling behind.
If Republicans don't flub the coming fiscal debates like they did in the fall, voters will focus squarely on the health care rollout.
Don't expect many members of Congress to lose their seats next year, despite Congress's 9 percent approval rating.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick LeahyNovember 29, 2001
Opening Statement of Chairman Patrick Leahy I want to thank all Senators for their participation in yesterday's oversight hearing and for their cooperation today in moving a number of nominations and other items. The agenda lists 9 judicial nominees and 9 executive branch nominees. We can begin by approving our subcommittee reorganization. Copies have been circulated showing the Subcommittees, the respective chairs and ranking and other members. In addition, I can report that over the last several weeks, with the help of Senator Hatch, we have revised, streamlined and updated our questionnaire for nominees in a manner that the Administration finds acceptable. With the cooperation of the Administration and the nominees, we are able to proceed with an extensive group of nominees. They include a 10th Circuit Court of Appeals nominee and 8 District Court nominees from Kentucky, Kansas, Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Georgia, Louisiana, and the District of Columbia who participated in hearings in late October. We are also proceeding with what is the tenth and, I believe, final Assistant Attorney General nomination, that of Thomas L. Sansonetti to be an Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division. We have another 7 United States Attorneys to consider from Louisiana, Hawaii, Washington, Oklahoma, Texas and Georgia. And we have an extremely important nomination for the Commerce Department, that of James Rogan to head the Patent and Trademark Office and serve as Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property. In addition, we have legislative items on the agenda with strong bipartisan support. There is the camera in the courtroom bill, S.986, that Senators Grassley and Schumer have taken the lead on and that Senators Feingold, Specter, Durbin, DeWine, Edwards, Cantwell and I have cosponsored. We have a Hatch-Leahy substitute to S.304, the important Drug Abuse Education, Prevention and Treatment Act. This substitute should allow us to report that matter today and, we hope, lead to final passage before the end of the year. Finally, there are resolutions for National Civic Participation Week and National Lao-Hmong Recognition Day. |

I am so happy that fat boy,Bonds and Texass Clement did"nt get into the HOF.Fat Boy Bonds had his crutch,Anderson keep his mouth shut so he would"nt expose him and he still says he is innocent.I wonder how much money it cost him for Anderson to keep his mouth shut.I still wish they had sent Anderson to 10yrs in prison and see if he would have spilled the beans on Bonds.As far as Clemems,big Texas money helped him after all the evidence that was presented.Those two,should"nt even be on the ballot.The same goes for foam in bat,Sosa.Using a loaded bat and then saying it eas his batting practise bat,Come On.
NOBODY enters Baseball HOF.
The most anticipated day in Baseball Hall of Fame history has arrived, and like Al Capone's Vault, the answer was Nothing. No PED users (or suspected users) got in, and nor did anybody considered clean. Let's take a look at the vote, and give our synopsis.

Southern Jews & A Vanishing Culture The Miami Herald, August 17, 2003, by Audra D.S. Burch "It won't be long now," says Ed Ember, 77, president-for-life at Temple Mishkan Israel (in Selma, AL). "I like to say, when the last Jew leaves here, turn off the lights." To request a complete copy of this article please email firstname.lastname@example.com .
The Traces of Jewish Life in Mississippi Philadelphia Inquirer, April 14, 2002, by Michael Schuman "One of the largest concentrations of Jewish-related sites is in the Southern Mississippi River towns stretching from Vicksburg to the Louisiana border. Yet the best place to begin a visit is in rural Utica, 24 miles southeast of Vicksburg and the home of the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience."

Small Enough to Save Detroit Jewish News, July 6, 2001, by Andrew Muchin "It would seem that the end is in sight for the temple and for organized Jewry in Natchez. But the community has a guaranteed legacy. When B'nai Israel's local membership falls to 10, the congregation will transfer ownership of the historical synagogue to the Goldring Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life. The year-old ISJL, based in Jackson, seeks to preserve synagogues and Jewish cemeteries as it works to develop educational, cultural and rabbinic services for fledgeling communities across 12 Southern states. To request a complete copy of this article please email email@example.com .
Temple in Transition Montgomery Advertiser, October 13, 2001, by Alvin Benn "There is so much Jewish history in Selma that it would be a shame to let it disappear and be forgotten...With more money going out than coming in, Mishkan Israel's few remaining members have turned to the Jackson, Miss.-based Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience for help. The organization's leader, Macy Hart, was in Selma a few weeks ago and met with temple members to discuss the situation. In 1992, Hart's group worked out a similar arrangement with Temple B'Nai Israel in Natchez, Miss... It may not have equated to heavenly salvation for the historic Mississippi synagogue, but it was the next best thing. The museum will keep B'Nai Israel from falling apart - a fate that could be around the corner for Mishkan Israel unless something is done soon."

Simon Lovell has created a very unique system for fat-loss, squeezed into a simple lunchbox:
Simon Lovell's system has been verified by many researchers and has been showcased in many infamous women magazines such as Marie Claire, Woman's World, ELLE (5 star review!), Bella, as well as well-known news publications such as BBC and OK! Celebrity News (And many other sites).
The Lunch Box Diet has caused such a frezy of excitement in Europe with the Elle Magazine calling the diet 'the best diet ever' (5/5 stars) that Woman's World is one of the first magazines to jump on Simon's Lunch Box Diet calling it 'the easiest diet' with 'gold star results'. Flawless reviews from so many magazines has caused the likes of celebrities like Cameron Diaz to sit up and take notice too – magazines and web site are reporting that the Hollywood beauty is a fan of Simon's impressive healthy eating plan.
According to him, Simon's Lunch Box Diet guarantees weight loss, with no need for strenuous exercise regimes. What's really amazing is that it has the chance to reverse the chances of Type II Diabetes! He claims that you can lose that extra weight you don't need… FOREVER?
It sounded too good to be true for Healthy Lunch Options, so our team of editors tried the product for ourselves – with astonishing results. ELLE's best diet is certainly a one-of-a-kind for weight loss (one of the best healthy lunch options as well as we looked up the nutritional value of the diet).

Healthy Lunch Options for Pregnant Women
Healthy Lunch Options for Pregnant Women?
Absolutely one of the most frequent questions we get on Healthy Lunch Options, and we address it now. We have taken a few weeks to research and engage the advice of several informants, and are proud to come up with some pointers that a pregnant woman can have. You may want to consult with your physician on appropriate foods to take, or you may want to check out a recommendation.
Pregnant Women Diet Tips from Healthy Lunch Options
An important matter that Healthy Lunch Options would want to raise is that most of whatever pregnant women eat gets digested and absorbed into her bloodstream. These nutrients may then pass on to the baby through the fallopian tube. Therefore, in these periods of pregnancy, a pregnant woman has to monitor her intake of food very closely. Here are some very easy and important tips for any pregnant women to follow:
- Choose healthy lunch options with enough Folic Acid. Folic Acid is also known as Vitamin B9, found mostly in leafy vegetables such as spinach. The American Medical Association quotes that consumption of iron supplements and folic acid before/in pregnancy increases the baby's intelligence and motor skills. More benefits include the prevention of major spinal problems or underdevelopment of the brain (researched by Louise Pilote of McGall University). Folic Acid with flour may also reduce chances of infant congenital heart disease. The reason is that this particular vitamin is involved in many important cellular processes. Take about 0.4mg daily.
- Do not eat excessively. There is a common myth among people about pregnant women diets: When there is a baby within the pregnant woman, the pregnant woman should eat for 2 shares. However, this is not true. The only additional amount of calories that a pregnant woman should take above a normal meal is preferably 250 calories.
- Take 3/4 Servings of fruits and veggies. These foods provide a rich source of essential vitamins and nutrients, and are particularly beneficial towards both the pregnant woman and baby. However, there are important exceptions to take note of. Do not consume the following:
- Papaya
- Pineapple
- Ensure that you take sufficient Vitamin A, but not excessively. Women who take in too much vitamin A in their pregnancy period may increase the risk of birth defects. If you already take other foods with vitamin A, do not take foods with high vitamin A such as liver.
- Do not take raw food. Bacteria that is not killed may be consumed by you. In the event that the digestive system fails to kill these bacteria, it may cause harm for the baby. Raw foods include raw eggs, sushi, uncooked meat and also seafood.
- Check that fish you consume are not high in mercury levels. These fishes that have relatively lower mercury levels and MUST be cooked include: Light Canned Tuna, Codfish, Salmon, Pollock etc. Check with your physician if you are not too sure about an unlisted fish.
- Get about 9 servings of wheat products such as bread(whole-grain or similar), rice, pasta. This is for carbohydrates for more energy production. Also, pregnant women have a tendency to suffer from constipation. Whole-grain can aid in this symptom.
- Take about 3 servings of milk/cheese for calcium. Calcium is very important to the development of the child.
- Try a baked potato. Potatoes are rich source of carbohydrates and iron, which is important in the development of the baby in the womb.
As usual, any healthy lunch options diet should be made in conjunction with your doctor. For example, if you have special requirements such as being a vegan, you may consult a dietitian in how to get these essential nutrients to your baby.
However, if you find consultations troublesome, there is a solution to that.
During our research, we have come across a product by Baby Smart Solutions, LLC, written by Isabel De Los Rios, a certified nutritionist (one of the consultants we've gained diet information from) as well as a professional fitness coach.
Isabel has aided over 25,000 clients so far. She offers an instant download, and teaches you immediately how to deal with many pregnancy issues, including pregnancy diets and exactly what to eat to let your baby gain the correct amount.
They also teach effective pregnancy exercises which can also improve your possibilities of a hassle-free delivery. On the otherhand, the program also goes into deep detail to explain numerous myths about pregnancy that may be detrimental to your child instead. One of which has been discussed in the above post: The "Two in 1″ diet myth.

A typical card in the first series (cards #1 - #160) of the "Wheels"
set can be found from dealers or online for as little as $1 each.
Buying an air compressor can be a pretty expensive investment and with so many brands and types on the market
determining which brand and type is the best product to
serve your needs requires a little bit of research, sized incorrectly or with
insufficient options to meet the needs of your specific application and you
will know it almost immediately. For our money,
we could not find a better, more convenient.

2001 silverado misfiring
I had the codes read on my 2001 Silverado 4x4 5.3L vortec. It was having power problems. Came up with a p0300 and o2 sensor. I replaced 02 sensor. Still had the p0300. Changed the fuel filter and no help. Took to a local mechanic. He ran it on his diagnostic computer. 2,4,6 and 8 cylinders are randomly misfiring. He checked the compression, its good on all cylinders. Changed sparkplugs, wires, coil packs, EGR valve and intake gaskets and the plugs are not fouling out either. Ran it on the diagnostics computer and checked the computer and all sensors. Everything is working. Basically, he has thrown parts at it, and not been able to fix it. He wants to take the heads off now and check the valves and the Head gaskets. Anyone ever heard of this? Also, cylinders 1.3.5 and 7 are fine. No problems.
01-17-2010, 02:30 PM #2Take it somewhere else and get a second opinion. You sead he change all the coil packs but that was the culprit of the same symptoms on my 2001 Suburban 5.3. A good mechanic mncan check the voltage of each coil pack and find the dead one that is throwing the codes, mine did. I had to have the dealership find it the first time after throwing parts at it (fuel filter, plugs, wires).

Contestant Blogs
This Week's Contestant
Colin S.
Theme: | Spring Fling Las Vegas |
Hometown: | Brooklyn, NY |
Week of: | 03-28-2011 |
Talk about the moment of a lifetime! After a long day of intense preparation from our extremely helpful contestant coordinators, I was definitely ready to compete in the show I've been preparing to be on since I learned how to read!
It felt great when I solved the first Toss-Up puzzle, because then I knew I was going to be coming home with at least $1,000. It was great finally getting to meet Pat and experience his charm first hand. Its great to know that what I've seen on television my whole life is not just an act--he's truly a swell guy!
When I won the next Toss-Up for $2,000, I was psyched because I knew I now had more than the house minimum, so I considered myself a winner already. After having some not-so-great luck with the Wheel early on (the Wheel which was much heavier than I ever could imagine!), I knew that to stay in the game, I had to win the Prize Puzzle. When the Prize Puzzle got to me, even though there were hardly any letters in the puzzle, the optimist in me was able to see, "There's not a cloud in the sky," and proceed to win a 7-day trip to Puerto Rico!
Now I was almost in the lead, but all I needed was at least one more Toss-Up, and fortunately I was able to win it, and find my way into the final Bonus Round puzzle.
It's one thing to watch it on television or play it on your computer, but when you spin the prize Wheel and wait for the R, S, T, L, N, E and have the dramatic pause before Vanna turns any letters over, it's scary to imagine that you won't get any letters at all! My puzzle was a "Phrase," and before I chose my letters, the puzzle read L _ _ _ _ _T _ _ _. I took a deep breath, and remained optimistic, and smiled once I realized what the puzzle was. I asked Pat for a G, H, F and an A, and he smiled as he always does when he can tell a contestant is about to win. I shouted out, "LAUGH IT OFF," and then the real fun began!
I knew the prize was a big one, but I had no idea it was going to be a brand new 2011 Lexus IS 250 convertible! Other than marrying my lovely wife Carrie, this was hands down the most exciting moment in my life.
This was truly the moment of a lifetime, and every piece of it from the Contestant Coordinators, Pat and Vanna's magic, and the surprisingly heavy wheel, is permanently tattooed in my memory forever. I'm honored to be able to share this experience with you all. As for the car and the trip to Puerto Rico...sorry, that's all mine! :)

Renewable-energy 'collaboratory' pushing harder into carbon, changes name
It will now be known as the Colorado Energy Research Collaboratory, an organization that includes CSU, CU Boulder, the Colorado School of Mines and the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Since its launch in 2007, the collaboratory has focused its work in biofuels and biorefining, photovoltaic energy generation and wind power. Last fall, it officially launched its work in carbon management and is now adding energy-systems integration to its "research portfolio."
David Hiller, the executive director of the collaboratory, noted the organization has done work in the carbon management area for the past several years, and that fossil fuels have been part of its mission from the onset.
"We always have and will continue to do much of our work in renewables," he said. "But carbon management has been on our agenda from the beginning."
"What we're really talking about is still trying to clean up our energy systems," he said. "We want to reduce the carbon impact of those fossil fuels that still provide much of our energy, even as we try to make the switch to renewables."
"A lot of the advances that we can make in protecting our planet can come from addressing the realities of fossil fuels now and for decades to come," he added.
The collaboratory pointed out that newly available reserves of natural gas can fuel new electric power plants that are cheaper to build and cheaper to operate than older coal plants. Additionally, modern gas-fired plants can also be powered up and down in response to the need for electricity.

Very nice!
Yes, you're right - it is the Jumpoff. We hit it on an especially bright and clear day.
Wondeful pic !
Was this pic taken from The Jump-off ? The day I hiked the Boulevard Trail we had about 100 foot visibility due to a low cloud base. So, I never got a chance to see anything.

Montana Comore Homme perhaps.
Hi all,
I am looking for a designer fragrance that has a smoky, incensy smell. The kind of smokiness I'm looking for is the one you find in YSL - La nuit de l'homme's dry down, or even in CH - CH Men, and not the one you get from Lalique - Encre Noire or Dior - Fahrenheit Absolute (which, to my nose, tend to be more into a churchy like incense than into smokiness). I would like a designer fragrance, because I can sample it before I buy it (which, with the majority of niche fragrances I can't). I'm anxious to hear your suggestions
Montana Comore Homme perhaps.
Encre Noire. Smoke from burning woods.

I think some people are confusing smoke and incense. The OP specifically said he's not looking for churchy incense. Gucci Pour Homme (2003) and CdG Avignon are both excellent, but they're incense, not smoke. I wear Gph often. CdG is a little bit smokey, but it's more like when a candle gets snuffed out.
Amouage Interlude Man and Sombre Negra by Yosh are both smokey, but they're niche and probably hard to find. Seriously though, Sombre Negra is smmmmmmmmokey!
Honestly, at the designer level (meaning affordable and easy to find), I can't think of any really smokey scents. I actually came to this thread hoping to read a few.

No real experience in this, but from reading, GPH seems to fit. I feel like I have read that Michael for Men by Michael Kors is also another smoky fragrance.

Goody2141, I own Michael by Kors and love it, but I think it's dark and very tobacco-like, not incredibly smoky. On the other hand, it's not really incensey either. Azzaro Visit is smoky, but a burning incense sorta smoke. I own Jacomo de Jacomo, and have owned and worn it for years (like, over 20, LOL) and there is some "smoke" to it, but tons of spice as well. Just a heads up.

While it doesn't contain incense or anything, I get a smoldering, resinous, smoky vibe from Ted Lapidus's Black Soul. It's like a spicy take on the 1 Million type fragrance and strikes me as kind of a combination of 1 Million, Spicebomb, and Black XS. If you enjoy La Nuit, you might like this type of scent too (& it's very cheap).
I'm wearing Rive Gauche pour Homme today and it definetly emits a smoky vibe.

Bottom feeder: Zynga stock
November 21, 2012: 5:00 AM ETDespite a sizable plunge from spring highs, it's not yet game over for Zynga.
By Ryan Derousseau, contributor
FORTUNE -- Unlike its social media cousin Facebook, social-gaming company Zynga had a successful IPO. Priced at $10 a share in December 2011, Zynga (ZNGA) went public with a market cap of $7 billion. But after a couple of disastrous quarters -- highlighted by a decline in paying players of core games like FarmVille and struggles adapting to mobile platforms -- the stock has plummeted to near $2, down 85% from its March high.
MORE: The best of everything in tech this year
Has it fallen too far? A pair of big money managers think so. Janus Capital Management recently bought 23 million shares, and Morgan Stanley (MS) upped its stake from 26 million to nearly 32 million shares. Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter points out that Zynga has $1.6 billion in cash, $1.1 billion in revenue, and 311 million active users. He argues that if CEO Mark Pincus can control costs, attract more paying gamers, and win back Wall Street's trust -- all big ifs -- the stock could "double quickly."

What you need to know about preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is pregnancy-induced hypertension or high blood pressure. Women with chronic hypertension who become pregnant should discuss how to monitor high blood pressure with their doctor early in their pregnancy. For some women with chronic hypertension, pregnancy can further elevate blood pressure. However, even women without chronic hypertension can develop high blood pressure during pregnancy. High blood pressure is serious because it can restrict blood flow and delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the baby.
Preeclampsia usually occurs late in pregnancy, after Week 20, and can be serious for both the mother-to-be and her baby. Up to 30% of women experience some elevation in blood pressure during pregnancy. For 6% to 8% of women, particularly in first pregnancies, this develops into preeclampsia.1

A Terrible Job, You Did One: The World's Crappiest (But Still Street-Legal) Batmobile
Ever wondered how good a Batmobile a man armed with $100 and no tools could make? Well now you know: a really, really shitty one. I mean this thing is bad. And not bad as in bad-ass, bad as in you lost all four hubcaps attempting a burnout at that last stop sign.
Gabe, the hero of our story, purchased this wrecked 1994 Pontiac Grand Am last summer from Dave's Towing in Ann Arbor, Michigan for $100.
After a few necessary repairs, work proceeded: Gabe sawed off the crushed roof and built a custom frame for the new roof and windows. Inspired by the Batmanesque charm of his creation, Gabe then rigged up and riveted on fins, reworked the nose, and spray-painted the car matte black.The car even features high-tech theft-prevention gadgets the likes of which even Wayne Industries couldn't develop. When thieves tried to steal the car last year, the steering wheel broke off. In the process of trying to hotwire the car, they also fixed the brake lights.
Gabe's selling the deathtrap on Craiglist for $600 if you're tired of living or insist on fighting crime the old fashioned way: leaking oil onto a flattened cardboard box in your driveway.

Posted Jul 13 2012 1:06PM
ORLANDO -- It figured that Perry Jones would eventually find his way onto the summer league shelf. After all, conventional wisdom had said he had a poor motor and maybe he was up on a lift and in need of an oil change.
However, it was a tweak to his left ankle and not anything to do with the level of Jones' play that put him on the bench. But not before the 6-foot-11 forward showed that he just might be a gift that dropped into the lap of the Thunder when he fell all the way to No. 28 on draft night.
"It's like a song in my head, I've heard it so much," Jones said of the talk about his motor. "It's in my vocabulary now."
The words that have been rolling off the tongues of teammates and employers in Oklahoma City have been nothing but good.
"He's a guy that has quickness at his size and fits in with his length and versatility," said Thunder general manager Sam Presti. "And what we've seen at this point is someone who has been excellent in terms of coming in and showing that he is a willing and active learner."
In the only full game that he played at the AirTran Orlando Pro Summer League, Jones collected 16 points and eight rebounds in 29 minutes and continued to do all of the aggressive things that he'd already shown the Thunder in workouts.
"Freak athlete," said teammates Reggie Jackson. "Freak competitor.
"That whole talk about his motor, I don't know who started that but I believe that was probably a bad rumor. The guy loves to get out there, he loves playing hard. He just tries to get it done, do whatever he can."
It was a rap put on Jones during the last college season when he didn't lift his Baylor team on his shoulders and establish himself as the go-to offensive force game in and game out.
"I sacrificed a lot in college, gave up a lot of things such as scoring because I thought I had other people on my team that can score," he said. "I realize now, it doesn't matter who I'm playing with. I should always be able to do what I can do and that's score.
"What I want to do now is show that I'm not the person they think I am. Show I have a motor. Show that I can get out there in workouts and just bring all the energy I can to the floor."
Jones showed showed a full bag of tricks in his game here: a deep range on his shot, an ability to knock down step-back jumpers, consistently running the floor hard and working diligently on defense.
"All the things that we loved about his game when we were scouting him," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "I like his athleticism, his ability to cover ground on both ends of the floor and his decision-making. He really does seem to be thinking the right things in the game.
"Those are a lot of the reasons we were so excited when we saw his name on the board when it got around to our turn. When you look at his size and his talent, he fits what we like to do."
"I truly believe he's going to be a special kid," said assistant coach Mark Bryant, who's been the acting summer league head coach. "He's kind of like, I'm not saying he's like Lamar Odom yet, but he could be that type of player."
Jones would not even go near that comparison. Neither is Presti ready to pat himself on the back for out-thinking all of the other GMs and teams that chose to pass on Jones due to the talk about his passive demeanor. There have, of course, been plenty of stars who streaked like comets and disappear over the horizon in the summer league.
"Every draft is different and driven by the targets of all of the different teams," Presti said. "Our job is to be prepared for all of the scenarios that might present themselves.
"(Jones) was the next guy on the board for us and we felt comfortable that he was the right guy for us at 28. He's a guy we had interest in throughout the year. As far what's said, you factor everything in, but we try to remove emotion from the draft.
"All you're trying to in the draft is shift the odds a little in your favor. There comes a time when you just have to trust in your evaluation process and make a decision. I'm not saying there's a science behind it."
Even wearing a slipper and a slight limp, Jones is grinning at the notion of having fallen from grace on the draft board.
"Sitting on that bench before the first game and even running up and down the court playing, the whole idea that I'm here hasn't sunk in yet," he said. "But I'll tell you, I think I'm in the perfect place."

So you think Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson, Georgia head coach Mark Richt,
and U. of Florida President Bernard Machen are being "intellectually dishonest"
when they speak out against over-signing. Wow, interesting.From the website Oversigning.com
GaTech head coach Paul Johnson said, "I don't see how you can do that to kids, weed out guys for whatever reasons. No matter what anybody says, if you're oversigning, some of that has to happen on occasion."That last sentence is pretty damning coming from a coach.
When asked whether or not teams who practice oversigning gain a competitive advantage, Johnson replied:"Sure they do," he told the newspaper. "It's just like you take 25 kids every year and then cut the ones you don't want. "You do the math. You have 85 scholarships. If you're signing 28 every year for four years, instead of 85, you have 112. It doesn't add up. So something is happening to those guys along the way. It just doesn't add up. You're losing them left or right academically or for whatever reasons."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Georgia coach Mark Richt addressing the over-signing issue
"I think that's an awful thing to do, I think that's the wrong thing to do. And it's nothing that we've done since I've been at Georgia." "These other coaches have been over-signing, trying to grayshirt, trying to make sure they never come up short of that 85 (scholarship limit) number. But in doing so, have they done it in an ethical way, which is what you're asking. And I'd say not. That's why the NCAA is trying to change its rules."
=========================================================================From Sports Illustrated.Com-
Authored by Florida President Bernard MachenThe universities, with full knowledge of what they are doing, extend more athletic scholarships than they have. These schools play roulette with the lives of talented young people. If they run out of scholarships, too bad. The letter-of-intent signed by the university the previous February is voided. Technically, it's legal to do this. Morally, it is reprehensible.
Associated with "grayshirting" -- and equally disgusting -- is the nefarious practice of prematurely ending student-athletes' scholarships. Some are just not renewed even though the student-athlete is doing what is asked of him.
Some students are mysteriously given a "medical exemption" which ends their athletic careers -- and makes another scholarship available for the football coach to hand out.
==================================================Doesn't sound like a Red Herring to me. Sounds like proof of a deceitful practice implemented by most SEC and Big 12 coaches to gain an advantage through a loophole at the expense of these recruits who could have signed with other schools without risking having heir 'ship not renewed, or being forced to transfer or to take a medical hardship.
I'll use the numbers from oversigning.com from 2002-2010 ( 9 years)
Schools that followed the intention of the rules and brought in an average that put them
right around the scholarship limit of 85 total every 4 year cycle were USC, Stanford, Texas,
Notre Dame, Ohio State, Ga Tech, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, etc. had a 9 year total of
around 190 recruits signed. = 21.1 signed per year.85 total ships divided by 4 yrs = 21.25 per year.
So using USC as the example, since they signed exactly 190 players during those 9 years,
that means that SC signed the maximum amount (190) without going over.These schools below all oversigned by an avg of at least 3.3 to 7.0 recruits per year.
From the highest -Auburn's 28.1 per year to 24.5 per year
(so 4 year cycles would equal 98-112 total recruits).Recruits signed (2002-2010)
Auburn 253.......+63 oversigned above 190
Miss State 247..+57
Iowa State 243
South Car 242..+52
Arkansas 239
Kansas St 238
Ole Miss 237
Alabama 235...+45
W.Virginia 235
Oregon St 235
Oklahoma St 232
Louisville 231.....+40
Kentucky 226
N. Carolina 225..+35
Arizona 224
S. Florida 223
Tex Tech 222
Baylor 221........+31
Examples of teams who didn't oversignTexas 192
Vanderbilt 191
Notre Dame 180
Ohio State 180
Ga Tech 177
Stanford 170So for 9 consecutive years Auburn brought in 7 more recruits on avg every year and
Alabama 5 on avg every year more than the teams above that adhered to the scholarship limits,
which equals an extra "recruiting class" of about 20-28 recruits every 4 year cycle.When even this "extra class" thing didn't work for the south and USC was kicking that SEC/BCS ass,
they tried it the other way and took away a class of 30 from USC over 3 years. So that's how the Nzaa
levels the playing field.E-mail: email@example.com/Twitter: @jcshurburtt/Instagram jcshurburtt

Something like 12 medical hardships since 2008, some of those guys said they pretty much had no choice but to accept the medical. 12 medicals? That's about the same amount of medicals as the entire rest of the conference.
Saban being unwilling to to tell people who his scholarship players are so that it is harder to track his cheating.
All very shady stuff especially when Saban says to reporters, "You guys don't need to know. The fans don't need to know about this stuff."
Its funny that your numbers are 100% when Saban has refused over the
years to give out any info and then he
says "you guys dont have all the facts and info to criticize how we manage our numbers".That's doubletalk when you don't give out info on the numbers. Even if your numbers are right you still prove what I'm saying as Bama oversigned by about 20 players after signing 103 in 4 years.
I can understand why you are so upset about this stuff, the more people talk about this dirty little secret, the more it becomes evident that soon they will have to change the rule because of the negative media backlash.
Without his extra 25 players used to upgrade the roster, what will Slick Nick do, demand that Bama starts every game with a 10 pt lead?

One more thing your entire argument became nothing more than silly fan butt hurt when you tried to claim "the man" was out to bring down USC because they were winning big.
The NCAA went overboard on you because your then-AD acted like a smug moron and it pissed the rent-a-cops off. You were only going to have to give the rip-off cologne or fake poo from Spencer back and apologize, but Mike Garrett laughed at the mall cop so your banned from the Galleria for a year and spent two nights in jail!

That analogy stings. One time in high school I was escorted out of the Galleria simply for listening to the sales pitch of the cologne guys.
But on the subject at hand, none of the oversigning.com acolytes have ever explained to me what's wrong with simply straight up cutting players who underperform. What makes a football scholarship so dramatically different from a non-revenue athletic scholarship or an academic scholarship?

All very shady stuff especially when Saban says to reporters, "You guys don't need to know. The fans don't need to know about this stuff."
Its funny that your numbers are 100% when Saban has refused over the years to give out any info and then he says "you guys dont have all the facts and info to criticize how we manage our numbers".
That's doubletalk when you don't give out info on the numbers. Even if your numbers are right you still prove what I'm saying as Bama oversigned by about 20 players after signing 103 in 4 years.
I can understand why you are so upset about this stuff, the more people talk about this dirty little secret, the more it becomes evident that soon they will have to change the rule because of the negative media backlash.
Without his extra 25 players used to upgrade the roster, what will Slick Nick do, demand that Bama starts every game with a 10 pt lead?

Thanks for the insults and the name calling, you added absolutely nothing to the conversation except your constant obsession with mentioning being butthurt. But since you are so 100% accurate superstar, why don't you make yourself useful this time and list the 85 scholarship players on Alabama's roster this year and last year, since apparently you are the only one with this insider info.
Then you can spend the rest of your day doing what you love which is wearing your clothes backwards while watching Kriss Kross videos and telling yourself to jump.

All that talk about how you had all the 100% accurate info on Saban's numbers and when you get called on it you produce squat. Thought you had some juice hot shot. Typical fail. You gotta be the dumbest most fackin pathetic loser in your entire trailer park.

First, thanks JC for the responses, I appreciate the dialogue on this topic, especially since I wasn't sure
if you would want to talk about this issue or even be allowed to talk about this issue in much detail.One aspect of college football I hadn't taken a close look at until recently was the practice of
oversigning. I had heard of it, but just figured it was just a few here and there.
So I was blown away when I saw how much oversigning was really taking place, especially in the SEC
and the Big12. I should have known there was another big factor besides just the % of home games, the
unbalanced conference schedule, and the ability to control the components of the BCS standings
that were driving a lot of the SEC success.I'm glad you pointed out "Looks like, and probably told" because I choose those words since I can't say
for sure if some or all of these players were forced to transfer or take a medical hardship, but that's
not the core issue here. The core issue is that when a coach decides to bring in recruits that will put his team
over the limit of 85, that coached just forced a certain number of players off his roster and off scholarship.You wrote -
[None of those folks you just mentioned can provide any specific names of student athletes that
have been run off]*That info was provided to show that this is an issue that other southern schools are talking about.
It's a growing conflict within the SEC. Several coaches from big time programs including the ones at Georgia and Georgia Tech, plus the President from the U. of Florida are all on record speaking out against the unethical situations that oversigning creates and the competitive advantages that it yields.For you to continue to pretend like this is some kind of boogie man and its existence hasn't yet been
proven leads me to 1 of 2 conclusions; either the minister of defense from Baghdad has hacked
your account, or we both have a vastly different definitions of what oversigning is.But let's not be ridiculous here and act like this hasn't been happening, not only the last decade, but for a very long time in SEC territory. It's history repeating itself, just instead of Ga Tech and Bobby Dodd leaving the SEC because they couldn't get Bear Bryant and others to join him in doing the right thing, it's Richt and Johnson taking an opposing stance to the way that Saban, Spurrier, and others have been manipulating scholarship numbers.
You wrote
[ The math supports that there is attrition on rosters and that players aren't completing their eligibility.
Where is the proof guys are getting cut? ]*Of course there is attrition with grades, suspensions, leaving for the NFL early, and all that.
Yet when you know you have 66 scholarship players returning and you enroll 29 more, you created
the situation, and now 10 of those 95 scholarship players somehow have to leave the program.
(i.e. cut from the roster by transfer, medical, non-renewal, etc).Your example about Georgia bringing in a bunch of players next year making the math support my
argument would only be true if I didn't know how to apply the math. But I know how to apply the math.
An average of about 21 per year puts you at 85. But Georgia could sign 32 next year and it wouldn't automatically mean they oversigned, it they have only 53 scholarship players returning then that high number is fine, they would just need to have some early enrollees. It's all relative to how many scholarship players are returning and how many you sign over a 4 year period. It can't be based off just 1 year.There are many ways to trim your roster down after oversigning, some legit, some not so legit. You would have to have your head in the sand not to see that Saban has been improperly over using the medical hardship. When a conference has a total of 25 medical hardships, and Saban has 12 of them during that time, it's foolish to think
they are all legit.I'm not sure why you bring up Jarvis Jones and Armstead at USC, and are trying to compare their medical situations to the guys Saban has steered into medical hardships in order to get under the 85 limit. I'm sure you have seen the WSJ article where a couple of Alabama players say they felt forced into taking the medical hardship and they knew it was because the coaches wanted to free up that scholarship for other players. Or are we gonna act like that didn't happen either.
What really is intellectually dishonest is if Saban doesn't tell his recruits this - ( I've signed an average 26-27 recruits per class, and over 4 years that makes around 106-108, but I can only have 85 scholarship players on the roster. That means there is about a 20% chance that you will lose you scholarship and not finish your career here. Do you really think he tells them that, when he won't even share which players on his team are on scholarship.
Unfortunately, that was a big swing and a miss on the Ncaa analogy. Saying Garrett's smugness was the reason
for being hit that hard is just as comical as when people say SC didn't coperate with the Ncaa. And I certainly wouldn't call the Ncaa the man, suit wearing ku klux klan is more appropriate for that disease of an association.If you want a good look into the cesspool of corruption and selective enforcement that is the Ncaa, just read the report from the most recent South Carolina major infraction case. You talk about a school in bed with ncaa enforcement, the stuff that went on at South Carolina, just take any of USC's violations and triple it and you'll have the level of cheating and rule breaking that went unpunished.
They most comical part is that Spurrier had 10 Reggie Bush's on his team and they passed it off as
impermissible loans. Hilarious. They should of been banned from bowl games for 3 years for all the cheating going on South Carolina. . -

The argument that any school is "signing more kids" is intellectually dishonest unless you can show that said school is punting guys off scholarship for no reason at a high rate.
That's my particular point with all of this. If there are so many guys getting das boot- show them to me!
My guess is, though, that non-qualifiers, transfers and normal attrition make up the bulk of the open roster spaces.
Someone who really wants to get after schools for oversigning needs to prove it.

UCL preps clustered Dell supercomputer
UCL is to install a Dell supercomputer, called Legion, to boost the university's number crunching power to an expected peak performance of 42.9 TeraFlops (TF). As well as supplying the kit, Dell has signed off plans to collaborate with UCL on various research projects. When it comes to supercomputers, we know you like the …
Extended warranty?
Important questions need asking:
Will they be buying the extended warranty?
Will they pay the extra £20 to have Linux pre-installed, or will it run Vista Premium Ultimate Supercomputer Edition Pro X?
When it dies in 6 months, will they have to pay the shipping costs to have it returned for a 2 week repair?
When it comes back, will it have been reformatted with Vista, regardless of its previous configuration?
Will it come back at all, or will Dell lose it somewhere along the line and have to supply a new one?
I hope they've factored in plenty of leccy for this project. Last I heard, their machine room kept going titsup for want of power...
They just wanna...
...play Crysis on it...! They're trying to build the worlds most powerful gaming machine...
What's the point?
The'll stick Symantec A/V on it and it'll run slower than a 3 legged dog in a coma.
Heard that name before
Robert Rankin used it in one of his books for a demonic infestation in the world wide web. Wonder if there is any connection... maybe it they where compaq servers...
One has to wonder if it will drive the users insane, and be the cause of a Biblical cliff jumping expedition?
UCL's machine room no longer goes tits up due to inadequate power. They have a new machine room that goes tits up due to inadequate cooling instead...
You need GAME ANDES REDSHIFT clearance for this machine.
So "Legion signalled a more democratic age in supercomputing" should be "signalled a more demonic age"?
Bob Howard, BOFH and ISO-9000 certified supernatural investigator will hopefully look into this.
Dell can't build a reliable PowerEdge (or even a reliable RAID controller for that matter). They have no business in the HPC sector. Legion must describe the number of support incidents this one system will cause.
Unfortunate reference
there was once a sunday toon on userfriendly.org, with the theme of mergers no one wants to happen, starring the Dell Dude (remember him? before he got busted with the jazz ciggies). the plot was a union between Dell Computer and the US Christian Evangelical Church, and the tag line was,
Will it randomly drop about half the disks in its array, and when they call Dell they'll be told it's a known issue with the firmware on that PERC controller?

Baker Electric Solar invites Southern California homeowners to attend one or more of its scheduled complimentary solar open houses. The San Diego solar installer will hold events in Escondido, Ramona, San Diego, San Marcos and Temecula.
Escondido, CA (PRWEB) February 19, 2014
Baker Electric Solar, a San Diego solar company specializing in residential solar and commercial solar installations, is pleased to announce its spring solar open house schedule. The North County-based award-winning solar installer is featuring five of its residential solar installations. The 10:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. complimentary live tours will be held in: Ramona on March 9, Temecula on March 29, San Marcos on April 12, Escondido on May 3 and San Diego on May 17. Interested homeowners may register for one or more of the open houses online at http://www.bakerelectricsolar.com/rsvp.htm.
Attendees from each open house may enter to win an iPad mini valued at $299. No purchase is necessary to qualify for the drawing on June 15. The 16GB, Dual Core A5 Chip iPad mini with Wi-Fi has a display of 7.87 H x 5.3 W. Weighing in at just over a half pound, the iPad mini is ideal for monitoring a homeowners solar system using a free app that connects to the systems production monitoring.
The solar open houses provide an opportunity to view a live solar installation and get questions answered by the propertys homeowners and Baker Electric Solar energy consultants. Attendees are able to view the homeowners before and after electric bills. Guests are encouraged to bring their electric bills so that a Baker solar energy consultant can estimate the monthly savings a solar system might provide them.
Solar system affordability is on everyones mind, and the open houses let people voice their concerns and ask questions. Baker Electric Solar consultants are ready to explain the multiple financing options available, including: HERO financing, zero interest financing for purchase, along with a zero-down, fixed monthly payment lease.
At each open house, attendees receive a fact sheet on the propertys solar system. As an example from an open house last year, the sheet detailed how the Baker Electric Solar rooftop-mounted 6.5 kW solar system consisted of 26 - REC 250 solar panels with a PV surface area of approximately 360 square feet and used Enphase215 Microinverters. Factoring in utility rate increases and locked-in low energy rate savings, the homeowners of the property were projected to save more than $74,000 over 20 years. With the system reducing CO2 emissions by 6.3 tons annually it was the equivalent of not driving 15,000 miles.
With the variety of financing available, we are seeing more homeowners than ever anxious to learn about going solar. Attending an open house is the perfect way to quickly see what a system consists of and how it works, said Baker Electric Solar Marketing Manager, Ashley Arant. A glossy brochure just cant do our solar story justice, but an electric meter showing energy credits being generated can! Come out and join us at one or more of our spring solar open houses, and be sure to register for our iPad mini drawing.
As a Baker Electric Inc. family company, Baker Electric Solar, has the 75-year history, backing and diversification of an experienced electrical contractor founded in 1938. Offering sun-powered options since 2003, the companies have helped more than 1800 San Diego County residents use the sun to save on their electric bills.
For more information about the upcoming spring solar open houses, and to RSVP visit http://www.bakerelectricsolar.com/rsvp.htm or call Baker Electric Solar at (877) 543-8765.

Comments: I've had the A.C.T. for a few weeks now and I don't regret getting it at all. I was a little apprehensive at first, but this machine offers a great workout. It is completely silent, which is amazing. When I'm on the treadmill, I have to turn the TV volume super loud to hear it. Not so with the A.C.T. There is no on/off button...just hop on and go for it. It comes with a tiny little cord/plug for the console, which seems strange for such a heavy duty piece of equipment. No kidding, it's like a cell phone charger. Anyway, I'm happy with it. My husband is disappointed that it doesn't measure distance, just revolutions, but that doesn't bother me.

After successfully running a one-pump gas station and repair shop for 15 years, husband-and-wife team Michael and Barbara knew it was time to expand. So, in 1997 they moved to a larger station in town, and began vending Gulf Gas to their loyal Yaphank customers. Today, the duo and their daughter Kimberly still helm ABM Automotive Service Center, where they oversee a crew of ASE-certified technicians, who put autos through the wringer with skillful maintenance services. They change engines' dirty oil or diapers, toss away sullied filters, and rotate tires, all while ensuring the cars' systems are running smoothly.
Vehicles parade through Miller Place Star Wash & Fast Lube Center's wash tunnels seven days a week for a cleaning, or stretch out on a service bay and allow a trained technician to replenish their reserves of component fluids. Wash and detail packages come with myriad treatments, including Teflon–fortified sealant and paste wax that give cars the confidence to overcome mid-odometer crises. Standard and synthetic motor oils twirl through funnels and into cars to settle the friction between dry parts. Miller Place Star Wash uses biodegradable cleaning products, and instead of discarding their old oil, they recycle it into energy that heats and powers the building and its resident transformer.
Though jets of foam and spinning brushes are effective at removing the majority of grime from cars, it takes the gentle and precise attention of the human hand to render chassis completely clean. Centereach Hand Wash & Detail Center's technicians lend their dexterous mitts toward each visitor's auto as they towel dry mirrors, wipe down dashes, and discreetly pick mailboxes out of grills. The shop also offers detailing services, which include such amenities as leather conditioning and chrome polishing. Active for more than 45 years, the center's recently remodeled home invites drivers in with refreshed facades and an interior viewing area stocked with automotive necessities.
With participating locations nationwide, Auto Care Special lets customers reach out to their local garages for a grab bag of free and discounted maintenance services. Cards may be redeemed for multiple vehicles over the course of one year for services such as oil changes, safety inspections, and engine-light diagnoses.
