LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB-TV)--"The Greatest" of all time made a sweet appearance, representing the Cardinals during the coin toss at the Sugar Bowl this week.
He has been called everything from "The Greatest" to "The Louisville Lip" but on Wednesday you could say he was the Cardinal's sugar daddy.
"We're very proud of the fact that Muhammad was there at the Sugar Bowl," says Donald Lassere, President & CEO of The Muhammad Ali Center.
Lassere says Ali's appearance at the Sugar Bowl was actually the first big win of the day.
"So I think him being there and representing the city and the University of Louisville really highlighted the fact that one, Louisville is a great city, but two, that the greatest of all time is from the city."
Surprisingly, that's something Lassere learned on a recent trip abroad--that a lot of people don't know.
"A lot of the folks there were wondering why the center was in Louisville, Kentucky and they didn't know it was because this is Muhammad's hometown."
But in his position at the helm of the Ali Center, Lassere is working to change that.
"There's a lot of things that are going to be happening here at the center....we've recently gone through a re-branding process."
That re-branding includes focusing on things that made Ali great outside the ring...such as his drive to help others "Be Great...and "Do Great things"
"We want to highlight his six principles, some of which I mentioned earlier, and talk about how he can be an inspiration beyond this physical space."
Meanwhile, the physical space is growing. Crews are working on the new pedway that will soon be the ultimate connection.
"It's going to connect the city to the center and the center to the city....it's going to make it much more easily accessible for people to come to the center."
And there's more, Lassere says if you liked seeing Ali at the Sugar Bowl.
"We're certainly hoping that he will be here with a greater degree of frequency."
Perhaps you'll love seeing him at the center. "We're hoping that we can get him here for an exhibit that we're going to be having for his birthday...his 71st birthday."

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta plans to lift the ban on women in combat. It's a historic decision that could mean more jobs and higher pay for women. Secretary Panetta is expected to announce the details of the plan on Thursday. It's historic news to female veterans such as Orlando-native Jackie Taylor. She served during Vietnam. Taylor told FOX 35 she still remembers a disheartening conversation that she had with her recruiter."I wanted to be a paratrooper," said Taylor. "And of course, he said women weren't allowed in those fields so I was assigned to the medical corp."The move will take time. The Department of Defense will first have an assessment phase, and then come up with a timetable for integrating units. A deadline of January 2016 has been set."It really doesn't make any sense," said Taylor. "We either are going to have equal pay, equal job opportunities in all areas or we're not. There's no 'we gotta get ready for it.'"This new directive will open more than 230,000 jobs to women in the Army and Marines. Taylor said it could also mean higher pay for many of the female heads of households."They'll probably get higher duty pay because if you're in combat you get combat pay," said Taylor.On the flip side, critics such as Elaine Donnelly of the Center for Military Readiness warned against the move."To summarize thirty years of studies and reports, women do not have an equal opportunity to survive or to help fellow soldiers survive in a direct ground combat environment," said Donnelly.The Pentagon released a statement on Wednesday saying Secretary Panetta strongly supports these changes.

Men's Hoops Sees 17 Point Lead Evaporate at Mercer
MACON, Ga., The FGCU Men's Basketball team raced to a 17 point lead and saw Mercer cut the lead to one on several occasions, and pull away for a 76-74 win in overtime. With the loss, the Eagles fall to 9-17 overall and 5-7 in A-Sun play while Mercer improves to 11-14 and evens their A-Sun record at 6-6.
Mercer got on the board first with a pair of layups before a 15-3 FGCU run gave the Eagles the lead for good. Terieke Barrowes (Pompano Beach, Fla.) scored four points and Casey Wohlleb (Boca Raton, Fla.) and Delvin Franklin (Houston, Texas) each drilled a three in the run to put FGCU up 15-7. Three more triples by Kyle Matheny (Winter Park, Fla.) extended FGCU's lead to 28-11 with 7:43 to play in the half.
From that point, the Bears began to slowly cut into the lead trimming the deficit to 31-18 with 5:33 to play. After a jumper by Franklin, the Bears went on a 9-0 run to cut FGCU's lead to 33-27 with 2:30. Each team hit a three over the final 2:30 to leave the Eagles with a 36-30 lead at the break.
The Bears scored the first five points of the half, prompting an FGCU timeout. FGCU answered with an 8-0 run of their own highlighted by a pair of old fashioned three point plays by Yavney Neptune (Port Charlotte, Fla.) and Barrowes to take a 44-35 lead. The Bears would continue to cut into FGCU's lead, trimming it to a single point on several occasions but never claiming the lead in regulation. FGCU would go to overtime for the first time since late in the 2005 season, a span of 92 games.
The Bears scored the first five points of the overtime session and was able to hold off the Eagles. A pair of missed free-throws by Mercer down the stretch allowed FGCU one last opportunity to win or send the game to a second overtime. However, a desperation shot by the Eagles would fall short as the Bears pulled out the 76-74 win.
James Florence, who scored 31 in the first meeting between the two, added 29 in the second meeting, doing most of his damage from the free-throw line, going 14-of-17 from the stripe. Calvin Henry added a double-double with 10 points and 10 boards. Shaddean Aaron was the only other Bear in double figures with 13 points.
Casey Wohlleb led the Eagles with 24 points while grabbing 10 boards for his first double-double of the season. Landon Adler added 11 points while pulling down five boards. Terieke Barrowes added 11 for FGCU while Kyle Matheny added a career-high nine off the bench.
The Eagles will be in action again on Saturday when they travel to Kennesaw, Ga., to face Kennesaw State in a double-header. The FGCU women's team takes on the Owls prior to the men's game.

Douglas J. Olmstead
MIDDLEFIELD — Douglas John Olmstead, 88, of Middlefield, went to be with the Lord Friday afternoon, Feb. 14, 2014.
He was born Dec. 13, 1925, at The Thanksgiving Hospital in Cooperstown, a son of George Abram Olmstead Sr. and Zula M. Butler Olmstead.
Raised in Toddsville, he graduated from Cooperstown High School with the Class of 1943. During his high school years he was employed as an assistant shoe repairman by Angelo Pugliese at his shop on Main Street in Cooperstown.
On April 24, 1944, Doug entered into active service in the United States Army and proudly served his country during World War II. A truck driver with Company A 1778 Engineer Construction Battalion, he was stationed in Okinawa as part of the Asiatic Pacific Theatre of Operations. After re-enlisting in 1946, he earned his honorable discharge from the Armed Forces in April of 1949.
Upon returning to the Cooperstown area he was employed by the Clark Family, first at their sawmill and later at the Iroquois Meat Market and The Otesaga.
On Oct. 14, 1950, Doug married Rose Marie Dziergowski in a ceremony at the Rectory of St. Thomas the Apostle Roman Catholic Church in Cherry Valley. Rose Marie died on July 24, 1972, at the age of 44. Doug then married Esther M. Christiansen on Nov. 17, 1973, at St. Thomas the Apostle Roman Catholic Church in Cherry Valley. After 37 years of marriage, Esther died Sept. 26, 2010.
Throughout his life Doug had a talent for wood working and in his later years was self-employed as a cabinet maker. An expert with a divining rod, he was also a local dowser.
A devoted member of the Middlefield community, he was a Charter Member of the Middlefield Volunteer Fire Department, and also served on the former Board of Supervisors representing the Town of Middlefield. He was also a life member of the Sgt. Walter P. Eggleston Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 7128 in Cooperstown.

Not everyone will be able to afford this gorgeous crown that the Queen of England has the honor of wearing. If you fall into that large category, the following article is for you.
Out of many varieties of diamonds that you can choose from, finding a diamond that best suits to you can really feel overwhelming, most especially when it is compared to jewelry stores where option is more limited. You can consider the step by step guide below on how to choose the right diamond for you. In fact, diamond search for everyone is unique. However, you might use this article for a helpful starting point in your diamond search.
Step by step guide on how to choose the right diamond for you (step by step guides are becoming popular online now, especially in eBook form):
First, you need to identify the shape of the diamond that you want or what diamond shape the recipient desires. If you can't decide on what diamond shape you want or cannot find it out, you might consider a princess cut or a round cut.
You can set a minimum carat weight based on the recipient's or your own preferences. If your heart really belongs to a diamond that weighs one carat, then you should try to find one because even the most wonderful half carat stone can be a great disappointment.
Try to find a high-quality diamond with the shape as well as the minimum carat weight that you identified on the previous steps. You can then begin making adjustments in your order so you will know what to do when you find the right diamond for you and how to make it fit your own budget.
First, you can make the clarity lower. Try to go lower than VS2 before making adjustments in some other areas.
Second, make the color lower. Try to go lower than H before making adjustments in some other areas.
Finally, go with lower cuts. Try go lower than Very Good when it comes to round diamonds, and then Good in some fancy shapes right before making adjustments in some other areas.
If you find a diamond that matches your own criteria and is very close to your own budget, then you can try shaving off few carat weights to close gap. In fact, a difference of 10% in a carat weight will not be easy to detect visually.
When you have followed the steps above but still wasn't able to fit the diamond with your own budget, you can still try some new thresholds for the above process.

Participants in this learning community will explore the importance of stories in teaching and learning and how, through a three stage reflective process we can learn to interpret and analyze these stories.
Stories are not merely a way of communicating course content, but a way of making meaning of the experiences underlying those stories. Engaging with others, teacher to teacher, teacher to student, student to student, we develop a sense of community which can enhance both the learning and teaching experience.
Once formed, this learning community will meet in a series of regular 1 ½ hour sessions throughout the academic year. Some common readings will inform the conversations as we work toward supporting and encouraging critical reflection about our teaching practice and how to apply it in the classroom for deeper learning on the part of our students.An orientation session (offered twice) will provide potential learning community participants with information on the process and goals to see if this is a conversation you want to join.Attend one of two possible orientation sessions if you are interested in potentially participating in the learning community throughout this academic year:
Both orientation sessions will be held in the Faculty Professional Development Program Teaching Commons (Cline Library Room 169).Fall Semester Resource Book: What Our Stories Teach Us: A Guide to Critical Reflection for College Faculty (by Linda Shadiow). Copies will be provided.Co-facilitators: Ro Haddon, Director of Liberal StudiesLarry Gallagher, Faculty Professional Development Program

This article was originally posted in Issue Spot, the BBA's public policy blog. Click here to read the original article.
Recent coverage in the Boston Herald of the BBA and MBA's Court Advocacy Day at the State House evoked a compendium of misinformed commentary on how to solve the problem of an underfunded Massachusetts Trial Court. Issue Spot felt compelled to present the facts and dispel the myths.
Myth #1 – The judiciary and court staff received an across the board 9% pay increase
Not true! Salary schedules for management employees have been unchanged since 2004 and salaries for judges and clerks have remained unchanged since 2006. Also, most managers and judges took a five-day furlough in 2010 to ensure that budget cuts would not force layoffs.
As for the 9% pay increase…Because of the fiscal crisis, no union employees of the Trial Court received the increases to which they were legally entitled under collective bargaining agreements. In 2010, Trial Court union employees were being paid on the same salary schedule as in 2007. In 2011, increases negotiated for court officers and probation officers went into effect. They received an increase which was consistent with the increases negotiated for employees in other state agencies. In addition, the Trial Court retroactively paid salary increases negotiated several years prior for clerical employees.
Myth #2 – Massachusetts judges work minimal hours
Issue Spot will leave the issue of salaries for another time but, for the record, Massachusetts judges' rank 47th among judicial salaries. The notion that our judges work less than forty hours a week is just plain false. Not to mention that, in recent years, filings in Massachusetts have increased – especially in cases of bankruptcy, eviction, domestic abuse, etc. – while judiciary staff has been decreased. Judges have fewer law clerks to assist with research and to help prepare decisions which directly impacts their ability to deliver decisions in a timely manner. The extended backlogs in approximately forty of the state's courthouses have forced clerks and registers to reduce public hours of operation in order to get caught up on paperwork.
Myth #3 – State workers are being cut, so should the number of judges
Some background about our state court judges and their staff…The number of authorized judicial positions is set by statute and those appointments are made by the Governor. At any given time there are unfilled judgeships. Currently there are 25 judicial vacancies.
The judiciary is not immune from a shrinking staff. Since 2008, the Massachusetts Trial Court has had a strict hiring freeze that has not only prevented the expansion in the number of positions, but has also kept positions vacant when staff leave. Today, there are 1,316 fewer court employees than in July 2007.
Myth #4 – Gas Prices Are Correlated with Funding for the Courts
Taxachusetts01 lamented taxes and the rising cost of gas, implying that gas taxes are used to fund the courts.
Connecting the budgets of other state agencies, departments or branches to funding for the judiciary defies all logic. For the most part, state revenue from gas taxes is earmarked for transportation funding. While Issue Spot can empathize with frustration over gas prices, it has no bearing on the judiciary's budget (or almost any other state entity).
As we wait for the House of Representatives to file their budget next week, we urge the Legislature to appropriate $593.9 million for the Trial Court. The reality is that our state courts need this money in order to function properly.

INDIANAPOLIS — Bill Belichick opened up his fourth press conference of the week by glossing over the previous day's practice, which he noted was positive. But in the same breath, he vaguely mentioned there remain some things that need to be fixed.
Can you elaborate on that, Bill?
He did, but as you might expect, did so without giving away any details that might help the opponent.
"I would say using the word 'cleaned up,' I've probably used that a number of times through the year," said Belichick. "The plays that we have that just seemed a little bit tighter, just needed a step here, a little bit deeper route, a little bit quicker match defensively on a pattern, a little better fit. We kind of got the right idea on it, we're doing the right thing, we understand the concept, it just needs to be just a little bit better. That kind of thing. So, we run it in practice, we don't quite have the timing that we need. We watch it on film. Come back and run it the next day."
Early in the press conference a reporter started a question by characterizing the Patriots' defense as inconsistent. Before said reporter could finish his question, Belichick interjected, asking dryly, "Do you have any more compliments you want to toss out?"
After the laughter in the room died down, the reporter continued, asking whether New England would have to put a lot of points on the board to win Sunday's game.
"Well, I think, we got to score more points than they do, that's really what it comes down to," said Belichick. "And how many points that is, we'll just have to see the way the game goes. It gets really hard when you start going into the game saying, 'It's going to be 51-50. It's going to be 3-2. It's going to be 7-3.' I don't think you can coach the game that way. I don't think you can play it that way. I think you just have to go out there and play the game as it unfolds."
Of course, a Belichick press conference this week wouldn't be complete without the obligatory Rob Gronkowski question. The head coach was asked if, at this point in the week, is it smarter to keep the second-year star tight end off the practice field to let his injured left ankle to continue to heal rather than to try to get him some workout time?
Belichick was brief in his answer.
"If that's what the medical people recommend we do, then that's what we'll do."
The coach was even more succinct in a response to a question from a New York tabloid reporter who asked what he thinks about people who say the Patriots' Super Bowl titles have been tarnished by the Spygate scandal of 2007.
"We've moved on from everything with that, so right now we're just focused on this game," said Belichick.
Belichick has one final pre-game press conference scheduled for Friday morning, after which he will really be able to focus on the game.

LONDONDERRY — Londonderry Middle School recently congratulated students who excelled at the state level in geography and math.
Dale Larie, an eighth-grader, placed 12th out of 100 students from around the state at the National Geographic Bee, held March 30 at Keene State College.
Dale, a student in Jan Armstrong's special curriculum class, qualified to participate at the state level competition by being one of the top 100 scorers on the written test in New Hampshire's qualifying round.
Three sixth-grade students were tops in the school's Math League.
One hundred and thirty-one schools participated in the New England Math League competition in February. The results were just released and Londonderry Middle School was ranked 21st in New England and first in the state.
Carolyn Stoller placed first in New Hampshire; Jeff Cieslikowski and Bethany Costello tied for third place.
Four more students were among nearly 150,000 students worldwide to participate in the Math Olympiad program.
Eighth-grader Logan Ford received a trophy for receiving the highest score among the Londonderry Middle School participants and three others received a silver pin for their scores in the national top 10 percent. They are eighth-grader Robert Kilgore and seventh-graders Samantha Mauceri and Lindsey Guenthner.
They participated in a series of five monthly contests of five problems each, from November to March, under the supervision of Armstrong.
All of the students received special recognition from principal Rich Zacchilli last week, along with Armstrong and Ann Gagney, another special curriculum teacher at the middle school.

Henrico to build new Dumbarton Area Library at Staples Mill Centre
Henrico County plans to build a new Dumbarton Area Library on a parcel provided in Staples Mill Centre, a mixed-use community to be developed by Gumenick Properties between West Broad Street and Staples Mill Road near Libbie Avenue.
Under an agreement approved Tuesday by the Board of Supervisors, the three-story library will be built beside a two-acre lake with a fountain, creating an attractive gathering place surrounded by residences and shops. The library, which will have 50,000 to 60,000 square feet of floor space, is expected to be under construction in spring 2014 with an opening slated for fall 2016.
"This agreement represents an exciting collaboration between the public and private sectors," said Richard W. Glover, chairman of the Board of Supervisors and supervisor for the Brookland District. "The new library will be a tremendous resource for Henrico residents and will be a focal point for other activity in Staples Mill Centre, which in turn will generate jobs and economic activity for the area."
Under the agreement, Henrico will receive the 3.3-acre library site at no cost. It will contribute $250,000 toward the construction of a lake plaza and other pedestrian features and will make a one-time payment of $150,000 in lieu of annual fees to a property owners association.
In exchange, Gumenick Properties will prepare the library site for construction. The company also will extend utilities and build roads and amenities, including the lake, plaza, walks, lighting and landscaping. Storm water runoff from the library will be managed offsite as part of the development of Staples Mill Centre.
Gumenick Properties estimates that when completed the cost of all buildings and improvements in Staples Mill Centre will be about $434 million.
"We're proud to have the library in the neighborhood," said Wayne A. Chasen, president and CEO of Gumenick Properties. "The facility complements our vision for Staples Mill Centre as a vibrant community, a regional destination and a pedestrian-friendly environment for people living near and in Staples Mill Centre."
Before the library opens, Gumenick Properties will begin construction on the first of four private buildings that are planned along Staples Mill. The company will start construction of a second building before the first anniversary of the library's opening.
The library is expected to cost about $30.5 million. Initially, only the building's first and second floors will be finished. The facility will have 236 surface parking spaces.
Henrico voters approved funding in the 2005 bond referendum to replace the Dumbarton Area Library. The current Dumbarton Area Library, at 6800 Staples Mill, is about 1.5 miles west of the site for Staples Mill Centre. At 22,500 square feet, the library opened in 1976 following a renovation of what had been Dumbarton Elementary School.
The 80-acre Staples Mill Centre is planned in accordance with the land's urban-mixed use zoning designation, which was approved in 2007. Upon completion, the community will have about 2,000 residential units, plus 100,000 square feet of retail space and 50,000 square feet of office space.
Based in Henrico, Gumenick Properties is a real-estate development and property management company with operations throughout the Southeast. Founded in the late-1940s, the company engages primarily in the development and operation of apartments and in homebuilding. Gumenick Properties is currently developing the Grayson Hill and Monument Square communities in Henrico.

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

The Real Housewives of (pick a city: Orange County, New York, New Jersey, Atlanta, Beverly Hills, Miami, and the canceled D.C.), have shown us glimpses into the lives of people from all over the country and in different groups of friendships. We see them fight, support each other, make up, and more.
While our lives are probably much different than most of the Housewives, our friendships probably aren't. Here are fifteen friendship lessons we can learn from the Real Housewives.
1. Apologizes Are Hard to Get Right
Not all apologies are created equal, and never is this more apparent than on the Real Housewives series of shows. People stumble (Theresa's apology to Caroline on Real Housewives of New Jersey), blame others for the fact that they have to apologize, or just continue to tell their side (Aviva's apology to Sonja on Real Housewives of New York). None of these tactics will get you to a place of forgiveness, which underscores the point that getting an apology right is hard work.
2. What You Think Happened Didn't Really Happen Like ThatIn real life, things happen and people agree or disagree about what happened, and you move on because no one has proof either way. On reality TV, however, there's a clip that can prove you wrong (or right!) or make you see that the way you thought it all went down is completely off. It reminds us that we should be a little bit more flexible when we insist that we're right or wrong.
3. Talking Behind Someone's Back Can Be Catastrophic for a Friendship
There is a joke about the Real Housewives that everyone talks behind everyone else's backs. In one episode recap, Carole Radziwill from the Real Housewives of New York (RHONY) wrote:
"Aviva talked behind LuAnn's back. Heather and I listened behind Aviva's back. Mario talked behind the front of Jacques back. Ramona chimed in over Heather's back."
As funny as that is for the RHONY girls, talking behind the back of a friend can cause real trouble. This seems especially true when friendships are in the beginning stages and people are feeling each other out to see how much trust they can extend.
4. Excluding People Gets You in Trouble
Last year on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Adrienne Maloof got upset with Lisa Vanderpump because Lisa had her daughter's bachelorette bash at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, and not in Adrienne's hotel, the Palms. Adrienne was also upset because she didn't even know the party was going on that weekend.
On RHONY this year, Ramona Singer was upset that Heather Thompson took the girls to London but didn't invite her.
Bottom line? You're not required to invite people you don't like, but be prepared for backlash if you exclude them. No one likes to feel as if people are gathered together and talking about them behind their back. (See point above.)
5. It's Hard to Know Who to Trust
One reason the RHONY cast has been fun to watch this year is because half the girls are new to the show. This means that three people know each other and three others need to establish themselves into the group. New friendships are being formed, but some people are finding it hard to know who is sincere or not.
When you're first getting to know a group of people, it can be hard to figure out who is worthy of your trust. Someone you think is fun because she gossips and laughs with you may just turn around and gossip about you. Another person you thought was quiet and boring may just become your best friend. Trust, like making real connections, takes time.
6. Sticking Up for a Friend Sets You Apart As a Person of Character
Watch any of the Real Housewives shows and you'll see people talking about each other when one of them is not around. This is reality TV, after all, and it's part of what makes things interesting. The folks on these shows also get a chance to do a one-on-one camera interview where they tell us what they thought of a particular person or situation.
Seeing this on screen reinforces just how important it is to stick up for your friends in real life when they aren't there. There are some Housewives who do this very well, and others who stink at it. You decide which is which.
7. Holding On to an Argument Exhausts EveryoneBy everyone in this case, I mean even the viewers. Seeing some of these women continue to rehash the same old argument is downright exhausting. It reminds us that in real life, the ability to let an argument go and agree to disagree can be valuable to the peace of a group.
8. People Just Want to Be Liked
One thing that strikes me over and over when watching Real Housewives is how easily the women get their feelings hurt. This brings up a good point: people want to be liked. No matter who they are, they want to be treated with kindness and respect.
9. Forgiveness Means You Don't Bring It Up Again and Again
The Housewives aren't unique in that they get forgiveness a little wrong sometimes. Namely, they say they forgive and then continue to bring up the problem over and over, sometimes months and even years later.
We're no different in this respect. I've heard people say things like "I forgive but I don't forget" and that isn't quite the concept of forgiveness either. Bottom line is if you're having a problem forgiving, work on it so you can free yourself of the hurt and won't need to bring it up again.
10. Vacations Don't Necessarily Bring You Closer
Anyone that has ever been on a big trip with their friends can relate to the fact that sometimes, it causes problems in their friendship. Never is this illustrated more than on the Real Housewives. Who will forget the New York Wives trip to Scary Island, or Kim Richard's and Company trying to celebrate Mauricio's birthday in Hawaii, or the Jersey Girls and their trip to Napa.
You can't hide when you're on vacation, so you usually get to see your friends at their worst, like when they first get up, have had no sleep, are hungry, and are doing things they don't necessarily feel like doing.

Fresno State officials say they are turning away more than 3,000 eligible applicants for admission next fall, marking the second year in a row the school has rejected that many students.
The school is putting a lid on admissions because it doesn't have enough money or class space to accommodate the surge in applicants it has seen in recent years.
Bernard Vinovrski, associate vice president for enrollment, said he received 6.5% more applications for the 2014-15 year than the current year. The average increase across California State University is 2.8%, he said.
Overall, California State University, Fresno got about 18,000 first-year applications for next school year. Of those, about 13,300 are eligible for admission, but only 10,300 students will be admitted to fill 3,265 freshmen seats. Not every student admitted will wind up being a Bulldog.
Vinovrski said the rejected applicants are mostly first-time freshmen applicants who are from outside the university's four-county service area -- Fresno, Madera, Kings and Tulare counties. Fresno State is required to admit all local students who meet the minimum CSU grade-point average and course requirements.
That left some people from outside the region out of luck. Vinovrski said the admissions office had to use other criteria to admit those students, including higher GPA and standardized test score benchmarks.
"The only good news is many students we turned away from outside our area can still go to their local institution," he said. "But they didn't want to do that, they wanted to come here."
University President Joseph Castro has called for more money to help boost enrollment and is expecting enough state dollars to fill 400 more seats. But Vinovrski said Fresno State has been "over-enrolling" for a few years -- accepting more students than it can afford to pay for -- which means actual enrollment numbers might increase only slightly next fall.
"If we brought in many more students, we would have to hire additional personnel, we'd have to hire more advisers," he said. "It gets back to money, facilities and space."

Cotton In November
I noticed something the other day I don't remember seeing before. Most of the cotton in this area has already been picked and the stalks have been cut/shredded. Because of the unseasonable warm weather we have had, the cotton stalks have actually begun to grow again. In most fields, the plants are better than ankle high. However, the first frost we have here will kill any chance these plants have of making it. Also, looks like I will be mowing my lawn one more time.

British Columbia (Canada)
4.28/5 rDev +10.9%
(341ml capped bottle) One of the more obscure offerings from Quebec brewery Unibroue, Raftman, a smoked whiskey malt-based Belgian Pale Ale is amongst the lightest and lowest alcohol count ales offered from this brewing giant. Strangely enough, while Unibroue is a Canadian brewery I've yet to see the Raftman sold by single bottles (341ml or 750ml) in British Columbia, but regularly come across this one in several shops in Washington and Oregon.
While Raftman lacks the hearty punch and deep bountiful character that most of the other Unibroue offerings provide, it does have, like all of their other beers, in unique character onto its own right.
It pours similar to that of La Fin du Monde, a medium, slightly cloudy copper tone with decent size, thick foamy head. The glass gathers considerable lacing despite the head giving way to a thin flat foamy, but consistent surface texture with a good size collar.
Aroma wise, it offers up an intriguing balance of hops and malts, a heavy reliance on yeast, with hints similar to that of some Hefeweizens, plus a special touch of pepper, fruit and the slightest hint of smoke. (I had some initial reservations on this beer from reading the label. When it said smoked, it brought back the fear I had when ikes Aecht Schlenkerla Marzen Rauchbier, which unlike most other reviewers, I highly disliked and poured 2 bottles down the drain.) Raftman however was a pleasant surprise and its slightest hints of smokiness in both aroma and taste were an interesting and enjoyable touch.
While most of the Unibroue ales offer up incredibly strong taste, overwhelming characteristics and perfect blends of malt, hops and loving care, this one doesn't have quite the same body. It has a very enjoyable taste that tends to be a little more reliant on yeast, its offers a nice familiar fruity blend, slight bite of hops, and the relaxing malt effect. This is a fairly carbonated beer, but not nearly as fizzy as Unibroue's 1837. The smoked whiskey malt, which is the base of this beer, along with the carbonation does give this a little bit more edge compared to most other ales from Unibroue.
All in all, a very enjoyable beer, that's certainly worth a closer look. And, unlike the heavy alcohol content of all of Unibroue's other offerings, this one at 5.5% is pretty calm, which makes it an enjoyable beer to have more than one of in any single sitting.

Pours a nice deep copper color with medium head that leaves some pretty nice lacing,I really liked the soft malty slightly sweet aroma.The taste is also pretty soft with a light smokiness to it with a good malty backbone and finishes a little fruity.I think this is a highly drinkable beer for the style,pretty well done.

3.48/5 rDev -9.8%
Appearance: 341ml bottle. Pours a cloudy orange/brown with a large frothy head.
Smell: Obvious spiciness in the nose. Light fuity hints and a raw honey sweetness.
Taste: Right off the bat there is a woodniess to the beer, oak maybe. I can see where the whisky malt comes into play here. Some smokey hints as well. This lends a dry, almost tartness to the beer. Not as much spice or fuit as was found in the nose. The finish is a little lemony and dry.
Mouthfeel: Very light and smooth. Not as full and bubbly as i would have liked or expected.
Drinkability: I wasn't crazy about this beer. Compared to other Unibroue offerings, this one is not one of their best.

3.83/5 rDev -0.8%
Note I bought this for tasting a few weeks ago and the brew was spent. It tasted like crap. I figured that I had got a bad bottle and decided to review with another sample, which is recorded below.
Appearance Nice, thick, cloudy orange color. The head came up nicely but went down kind of quick.
Smell Light smoke with the malt and some hops. Well balanced.
Taste There are some very sophisticated malts in here, and a nice sweetness made up of dark, ripe fruits and table sugar. The whiskey flavor claimed on the bottle is very light.
Mouthfeel A little over-carbonated for my preference, but this beer left a lot of satisfaction on the mouth. It felt great.
Drinkability This one went down fairly well.
Comments I dont know if I would call it a whiskey malt, but it was good nevertheless.

I've been wanting to try this one for a long time so I was thrilled to find it on tap during my most recent visit to the Map Room.
Pours kind of a glowing pale orange color with a healthy white head.
The aroma begins with that wonderful fruity yeastiness found in most Unibroue beers. Then I notice a hint of smoky whisky followed by zesty hops.
The body is light and dry with a variety of light fruit, yeast based flavors. Toasty with some pepper and smoke. Touches of metallic graininess but not much. Peachy esters and lemony finish. Well balanced and quite drinkable.

look -- pours a rich medium amber. The head is a bit of a letdown: white, while it came up to about two fingers, and falling quickly without lacing to a swirling film. Hazy (not truly opaque, nor clear).
smell -- the smell is full of the unibroue ale yeast (maybe a bit more peppery than usual) with some interesting malts in the background. I get the scotch-like peat smoked malt aroma, but it's really quite weak and in the background behind the yeast that comes along with an aroma of rich dark bread. No real hop aroma
taste -- essentially, the same as the aroma, but a the taste is a little better balanced between the yeast and the malt than the nose. The malt character is still similar to rich dark bread with a hint of sweetness in there (which struck me as almost similar to a liquor chocolate). There really isn't all that much in the way of smokiness (at least compared to a rauchbier, which I have seen this brew listed as). Any smokiness there is is carried off with the pepperiness of the yeast and the breadiness of the malt. No real hop flavor, but a bit of bitterness on the finish.
feel -- lighter body than I would have expected, good carbonation. No alcohol warmth. Some spiciness played well with the effervescent finish.
Overall, a decent brew. Pretty tasty, though maybe not the most drinkable (to be frank, I think it could have taken a higher ABV). I like having it with greasy and gravy soaked food.

12oz bottle courtesy of kmpitz2. Thanks bro. After I pop the cap I get a bit of a gusher..easily contained by a quick pour into my SN tulip. A careful pour reveals a dark copper orange brew with a nice 1/2" head on top along with some stringy lacing. Aromas start off with fruits...orange, some apple along with a underlying peaty smokiness. There's a nice dash of spiciness in there as well. Quite an interesting aroma with a subtle smoke.
First sip brings a smooth fruity body upfront along with a ghostly mellow smoke flavor in the background. There's a yeasty spiciness that runs through the middle with a hint of cinammon, clove and pepper. The interplay between the fruity and the smoke is nice but I was hoping for a big more in the smoke department.
Mouthfeel is smooth with a rush of tight carbonation and a soft body...easily flows over the palate. I'm enjoying this bottle and I'd imagine I could drink another if I had it. An interesting brew for sure...hopefully Unibroue brings this back into rotation. Bottle says best by 04-04-03...about 2 years past and still damn tasty!

From the bottle poured into a tulip. A hazy amber color with a very large white head. The head dissipated rather quickly.
The aroma was boozy, vanilla. There was a lot of sweet malt.
The taste was very malt-forward. Lots of toffee and caramel. Vanilla still there, with a hint of whiskey.
Nicely carbonated, very pleasant. I had become bored with Unibroue, but this renewed my faith in them.

Presentation: 750ml corked and wired caged bottle. Freshness date very clearly marked on the back. Label has an image of lumberjacks hard at work.
Appearance: A peach coloured beer, with a slight haze. Head is a snapping thick head of large bubbles that quickly drops to a patchy, thinly ringed white lace. Carbonation bubbles are larger than most beers, like twice as large, with smaller ones mixed in.
Smell: Yeast spice, pepper and fruit of faint apricot.
Taste: Smooth mouthefeel, with a creamy carbonation lift that fills the mouth and then gently pricks the palate with a crisp, quick, sharp hop snap. The malt profile contains whisky malt, and is a well-balanced combination of complex flavours, such as: caramel/toffee, faint fruity apricot, honey and toasted malts. Things thin out towards the end, with a clean finish and slight dryness.
Notes: Oh bliss! A world-class Beglian-style Speciale ale. Much less robust and thinner than the other beers from Unibroue, but this makes it an exceptional beer in which to have many of.
Raftman is brewed in memory of the masters of the forest who were simultaneously lumberjacks, log drivers and raftsmen to commemorate their legendary courage they knew, when it was time, how to settle their differences and share their joie de vivre around a beer or a whisky.

Quick foaming head that slowly drops down to an ample lace over a cloudy glowing orange coloured brew.
Woody aroma with hints of yeast and vanilla, a faint smoke is detected also with a fruitiness of peaches and lemon.
Smooth mouth feel with a large crispness from a somewhat aggressive carbonation. Malty upfront with a toasted sweetness, sizeable yeast twang in the middle. A dash of peppery phenols thrown in for good measure. Slight metallic charred grain husk flavour pulls the dryness further in. Swift yet mild fruitiness pops in with an indistinct peach flavour and faded alcoholic esters. Hops are very light with only a fast gracing of bitterness. Toasted grain lingers far into the finish.
I could have one after the other of this brew, I'll be buying this by the case ASAP.

12 oz bottle courtesy of fellow Kentucky BAs, clvand0 and kmpitz2. I've never seen Raftman in a store anywhere, so have no clue where this one originated. "Best before 04-04-03", sampled Feb 19, 2005. Pours a hazy, apricot body with a small offwhite head that retains for a few minutes. Sporadic film, patch, and some sheet lace noted. Aroma has tropical fruits, clove, white pepper, and some campfire smoke. Mouthfeel has a light medium body and some subdued effervescent carbonation. Taste is similar to other Unibroue Belgian pale ale stylings. Tropical fruit sweetness, spicy coriander and white pepper, and balancing bitterness from the hops and yeast. There is a noticeable smoked beef jerky component that comes from the use of lightly smoked whisky malts. Finish is clean and evenly balanced. Good drinkability from this Unibroue, even though it is apparently past its prime. The smoked malt character reminds me a bit of Germany's Bamberg smoked beers. Very interesting departure from Unibroue's always interesting line.

The operative word here is mild. Large bottle, caged and corked. Openw with low energy and pours with fairly low carbonation, medium, tiny bubble, light tan head. Next to no lacing. Nose is mildly smokey, with hints of vanilla and oak. Subtle and sublime, more light smoke,mellon and oak picked up. Vanilla notes to smooth things along. Tasty and easy going sipper. Fine choice for light foods and of course, smoked meats/BBQ

Smell: I get orange peels and some bourbony smoke
Taste: It tastes almost Belgiany--some bourbon, some earth, some wood
Mouthfeel: light, crisp, with a slightly bitter aftertaste
Drinkability: This is a beer that the more I drink it, the more I like it...It is complex and I could easily drink a six of it

341mL bottle brought back from a recent trip to Montreal. Always nice to run into a Unibroue offering I haven't tried yet. (For those Canucks in the audience, this label greatly reminded me of the CNFB "Log Driver's Waltz" film from the 70s. How Canadian can you get?)
Poured into a Chimay goblet. Pale amber-copper, slightly opaque with that yeasty sediment. About an inch of fluffy head quickly recedes into a thin, but sturdy ring. Lacing when the glass is tilted.
The nose is that distinctive Unibroue yeast, peach, apple, vanilla, and I guess you could call it smoke, but really it's probably my nose playing off the beer description because it isn't very strong. Still, a nice smell to it.
Tastes like the typically good Unibroue fare, although I was a bit underwhelmed. Nothing really stood out for me in this brew - the smoky, whisky flavors I was anticipating just weren't there, and if they were, they were so well hidden I can't really say I'm being honest about them. Still, a not-so-fantastic Unibroue is still fantastic. Easy to sip on a cold, dreary afternoon.
Slight sediment to the mouth, crisp carbonation, thicker bodied.
This log driver's waltz won't please the beer folks completely, but it still was a decent beer. A low ABV would make for a great session brew. It's of the kind I like to drink so it's hard to knock it, but when I see Unibroue's website describe Raftman as a "a peat smoked whisky malt ale", I was expecting a great deal more than what was there.

Apperance - beer pours with a nice full bodied head, about 2-3 fingers. It lingers around for quite some time. The beer is a dark orange/amber in appearance and its hard to tell the carbonation levels.
Smell - the smell is nice and smooth, i can pick up some hints of orange, lemon and mild hops.
Taste - nice tasting beer! I can actually taste some sweetness along with the citrus tones. The beer is full bodied without an aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Nice mouthfeel, full bodied and lots of carbonation. I can pick up hints of banana as well in the mouthfeel. All the comments in taste remain the same, very nice beer.
Drinkability - I am very happy i was able to try this beer and really enjoyed it. Nice tasting beer that offers the mouth so much, will find and stock again!

Hazy orange and amber with almost no head. No lacing on the glass. Disappointing. Seems a bit lifeless.
A wonderful fruity and sweet aroma consisting of tangy and spicy Belgian yeast, some lemon character, a touch of other citrus, and some candyish caramel malt.
The flavor follows very closely with the aroma, though the tangy yeast isn't quite as pronounced as I thought it might be. Sweet and citrusy, a touch bready.
Relatively poor mouthfeel. This beer seems to be missing it's punch and appropriate body from the carbonation--with it, I think it might make this beer extraordinarily good.
A decent Belgian pale ale but lacking the right amount of carbonation. A tasty beer, but it could easily be improved.

Bright amber, medium head. Big apple cider flavor right off the bat, with twinge of spices and yeast, although mild compared to Unibroue's other offerings. Whisky-malt and smokiness is certainly present but obscured by fizziness and Belgian type yeast. Quite refreshing and a bizarre combination of flavors that works. I am getting a lot of wheat characteristics. Not being as awestruck by Unibroue's popular beers as a lot of people are, I was delightfully surprised by this. I was informed at the store that this is no longer available in the US? Is it a summer seasonal?

750mL bottle. Pours a cloudy orange/brown color with minimal head and no lacing. Smell is of yeast, spices and fruits. Taste has the typical Unibroue yeast taste, spice, and malt.

Excellent beer from Unibroue. The head is a nice light brown with big bubbles that settle fairly quickly. The beer is a deep golden to beige color in the glass. The mouthfeel is about average, but the smell and the taste just hit you head on. No that they're overly strong, but the whiskey malt adds a flavor and an aroma that are truly unique and very noticeable. Hints of smoke and an apple-like taste, with definite overtones of whiskey. A real pleasure to drink. I wouldn't be able to have too many because the flavor can get a little overwhelming after a few, but this is a very good beer.

The appearance is a golden orangish tone, with a white head along with a solid amount of lace lining the glass. The aroma has a nice apple fragrance along with some nice esters that arise to the nose. Very sweet flavors with the balancing bitterness arising in the finish, very mild smooth and refreshing. For Unibroue this one is lighter in flavor than most of their brews, but it is still a very solid selection that deserves a shot. It dances on the tongue with the high carbonation, but overall a lighter to medium body. Pretty drinkable, but the high carbonation would stop me from wanting to consume too many of these.

12 oz bottle dated 2-26-11 (fresh) served in pint glass. Small amount of accessible sediment in bottom of bottle included in pour.
A - medium honey brown; cloudy; ample and dense tan head; head has good retention.
S - Whisky-tinged Belgian-style ale with fruity yeast aromas. Some disagreeable mustiness and notes reminiscent of soap.
T - Complex, yeasty, and only a little bit smokey. Belgian-style ale with fruity yeast; Whisky seemed more evident in aroma than flavor. More sweet than bitter. Hints of peat, roasted cashews and apples.
M - medium body; smooth; light carbonation
O - Malty and dark for a "pale ale". My rating increased by interest and complexity. Also mostly improved, compared to original rating, by aging in this bottle that was produced and purchased in 2011, and stored under refrigeration until Feb. 2013 -- ratings adjusted only partly in the direction of the recent aged bottle. Clearly another sample is needed :)

Ellie offered tons of great suggestions on expanding my salad repertoire, and I threw in a few of my own ideas for good measure. Tired of the same old leaves and greens? Rev up your romance with salad when you keep reading. Substitute kale for lettuce . . . What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I have been so into this lately that it's ridiculous!" Krieger says of kale in salads. She recommends removing the tough ribs from kale, then cutting it into ribbons and serving it raw. Try it with a pungent Caesar dressing or with hijiki seaweed for a Japanese twist. Unlike lettuce, the sturdy green can stand up as a salad for a couple of days. 1 / 10 . . . or try a greens-free salad. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ellie Krieger loves radish and snow pea salads, with a little onion and jicama for crunch. Or try jicama as a stand-in for cabbage in coleslaw or a grilled corn and cotija salad. 2 / 10 Throw those heads on the grill. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For an entirely different flavor and texture altogether, Krieger recommends slicing butter lettuce or romaine in half lengthwise, brushing with oil and salt, then giving it some color on the grill. She's not the only one infatuated with cooking lettuce: in Aspen, Momofuku's David Chang also said the crunchy green is his favorite vegetable to cook right now. Source: Flickr User edseloh 3 / 10 Break out of your chicken comfort zone. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Think outside of the box when it comes to protein sources. Eschew chicken, steak, and beans in favor of a more unusual topping, like grilled calamari, seared scallops, or duck. For a meat-free option, skip the black beans and chickpeas and serve fava beans in their pods instead. 4 / 10 Make it spicy. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Variety is the spice of life — and the other way around, too. Wake up your taste buds with a Thai pork or shrimp salad. Or simply add flame to a grilled steak salad with a sprinkling of red pepper flakes. 6 / 10 Put a poached egg on top. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Whether a topper for roasted asparagus or salade Lyonnaise, a poached egg adds body, sumptuousness, and luxury to any salad it lands on. Don't be terrified by the cooking process; poaching an egg is much easier than you might think. 6 / 10 Toy with global flavors. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Curry powder and mango chutney will certainly liven up that otherwise ho-hum chicken and lettuce salad. My favorite technique is to highlight ingredients from two completely different cuisines for a fusion of contrasting flavors. 7 / 10 Look into new grains. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ancient Peruvian grain quinoa adds protein to a salad with peppers, beans, and scallions. If you've eaten too many quinoa and couscous salads, turn to alternative grain sources like farro, freekeh, and millet. 8 / 10 Experiment with a fruit dressing. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 At a Venezuelan restaurant, I recently enjoyed a salad with passionfruit dressing and have been motivated to try something similar at home, either with passionfruit, guava, or my new favorite exotic fruit, the feijoa. 9 / 10 Serve it differently. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Toss your fork and salad bowl by the wayside. Heck, forget tossing your salad altogether! Presenting your veggies differently can make for a completely new visual and sensual eating experience. Enjoy your Greek salad in bite-sized form, and forget you're eating Caesar when it sails past your lips in endive boats. Or, try something as easy as deconstructing your salad into layers. 11 / 10 0 11 7 0 0 Read More 2010 SaladSaladsSummerHealthyVegetablesHow ToTips summer How Your Summer Stacks Up Against the Celebrities' 7 hours ago Your Search For the Perfect Cherry Pie Is Over 18 hours ago Beyond Spaghetti: 10 Things to Do With Pesto 19 hours ago 10 DIY Snacks For the Road (and 10 Alternatives For on the Run) 1 day ago Just Grill It! 6 Unexpected Foods to Throw on the 'Cue 1 day ago 6 US Planetariums Worth Planning a Trip Around 1 day ago salads Green Goddess Dressing Doubles as a Dreamy Dip 1 day ago This Tomato Quinoa Salad Is Even Better the Next Day 3 days ago Make 3 Dressings in 1 Mason Jar 6 days ago How to Pack a Perfect Mason Jar Salad 1 week ago 13 Quinoa Salads That'll Rescue You From Your Lunchtime Woes 1 week ago 20 Make-Ahead Salads in a Jar That Are More Than Just Greens! 1 week ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

The Deer Park School District, which laid off its provisional staff in May, has begun rehiring some of the staffers for the upcoming school year.
The Deer Park School Board approved the rehiring of school district nurse Dawn Epler and speech language pathologist Kelly Pitts, both full-time employees, at its June 27 meeting.
Epler's rehiring was almost a given since the size of the school district mandates a full-time school nurse.
Superintendent Becky Cooke expects most of the provisional staff, which equaled 8.7 full-time employees, to be rehired in the next couple of months.
One of the layoffs was Brian Comstock, who filled the half-time band director position.
Cooke said Comstock or a new band director will be hired on a full-time basis. His new duties will include non-band classroom instruction.

He just posted it on his Facebook page saying him fighting Roberto is just a rumor....thank god, I have been waiting for some words from him for the longest! I am never paying any attention to who is he going to fight unless he himself announces it.
However I believe we will know the name soon as January closes down and if he is to fight on May 4th, his training camp and promotion should commence at the end of February or maybe even sooner. I think I'll be as surprised as when he announced hes fighting Ortiz. Didn't see that one coming!
Can you think of any other unlikely names that could end up in the mix?

he knew how to fight on the back foot...he just got away from that often because he loved to mix it up. i think williams height, reach and volume would have given floyd problems.
Williams height would be a problem for anyone if he used it! He can be outboxed for gods sake quintana outboxed him for 12. But he never used his reach and height how he should have, that boy was too philly and I don't even think hes from philly lol. Eventually that's what got him caught cold against serg

The Truth Behind: UFOs
This is more than just folklore or myth. Our world is being visited by craft built and controlled by intelligent beings not of this world.
How do I know this? Because the evidence is clear that a portion of the UFO Sightings, reports of government collusion, animal mutilations, and testimony of human-alien abductions, hybridization and implants are true. The evidence is clear. And the evidence presents a dark picture: Earth is being visited, people are being taken against their will, governments know and are trying to use this visitation for their benefit while not sparking panic in their populations.
What does this all mean? It means there is an Alien Intervention in our world, an agenda with self-serving ends - to gain access to the human and natural resources of Earth.
The Allies of Humanity Briefings present the critical key to understanding the alien agenda, who they are and what they want. If you haven't read the Allies briefings I strongly encourage you take a moment and read this eye-opening document.

Former Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon says he is done drinking following his weekend DUI arrest.
Speaking out for the first time since Sunday morning's incident, Blackmon said he doesn't have a drinking problem, that he made a poor choice and that he will seek whatever help he needs.
Blackmon was arrested at about 3 a.m. Sunday morning after an officer said he saw him speeding 60 in a 35 mile per hour zone and drifting out of his lane of traffic.
When Blackmon took a breathalyzer, the officer's report indicates his blood alcohol content was .24 on the first reading and .26 on the second -- three times the legal limit.
At Wednesday's press conference, Blackmon told reporters that he is "done drinking", but later clarified the statement, saying that he couldn't promise that in ten years time that he wouldn't have had a drink.
Blackmon says he knows words are only words and that his actions will be what will show.
Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the team that picked him with the fifth overall pick in April's NFL Draft, say the incident could affect contract negotiations with the former OSU star.
Both head coach Mike Mularkey and general manager Gene Smith said they were disappointed, calling Blackmon's actions "unacceptable".
"A mistake is an opportunity to learn," said Smith. "I trust with Justin's personal commitment and the support of the team and family, he can turn it around."
Mularkey said Blackmon let a lot of people down, but that he could turn the incident into a positive.
Blackmon was formally charged with misdemeanor aggravated DUI on Monday and pleaded not guilty. His next scheduled court appearance is July 24th.
