Dunce Bill Maher: U.S. Is Fifth Worst in the World in Income Inequality
In this week's "How Dumb Is Bill Maher" segment, the Obama-supporting comedian actually said on HBO's Real Time Friday that the United States ranks fifth worst in the world in income inequality.
Actually, we rank 43rd (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):
Shortly after the panel segment began Friday, Maher asked his guests, "How bad is income inequality going to get when unions disappear altogether?"
Michael Brendan Dougherty, the politics editor at Business Insider, replied, "It's going to get much worse."
"How could it get much worse?" asked Maher. "I mean, right now we're fifth in the world, fifth worst in income inequality."
Where did Maher get this figure?
Well, that's anybody's guess for according to the CIA's World Factbook, America currently ranks 43rd.
That puts us better at this statistic than over 30 percent of the nations ranked by the CIA.
Some notables with far worse income inequality include Thailand, Hong Kong, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, China, Peru, and Argentina.
So, once again, as he does virtually every time he's on television, Maher was not only wrong about something he arrogantly claimed as fact - he was dead wrong.
Keep up the bad work, Bill!

Define 'income inequality?'
Submitted by Galvanic on Sat, 06/09/2012 - 10:42am.
Is this the difference between the highest and lowest incomes? Is it differences in income within the same occupational position? I don't know.
As to the effectiveness of labor unions, how does Maher explain that somehing like two thirds of Wisconsion government employeers quit their union when the state removed the requirement to belong?

That survey does not take into account...
Submitted by zenman1661 on Sat, 06/09/2012 - 11:06am.
that with countries like ours the top most range of income is much higher than other countries which can skew the ranking.. In a lot of nations the ranking is high not because the lower half is doing well, they are still poor. It's just the upper half has a standard of living equivalent of our middle class, so the gap between the upper and lower half is smaller.

What happened after that?

How about Maher's show?

How much more does Maher pay himself versus the girl who does his makeup and hair?
Are his employees unionized? Maybe they should.
It won't work--he'll fire them all if they try. If there's one thing leftists hate, it's when their own ungrateful employees band together and demand things from them.

Interesting little drop in Maher's chart - Middle Class income
Submitted by Gary Hall on Sat, 06/09/2012 - 5:03pm.
Well, it took me a minute to find it, but here is the chart that Bill Maher has up and he slobbers all over bad information. No surprise that it's from the Center for American Progress Action Fund:
A funny thing occurred from about 1993 to 1995; this heralded "Middle Class Share of National Income," suddenly collapsed. Hmm - that'd be Bill Clinton's term. Somehow to me it seems to be trailing the sizable decrease in the falling rate of "Union Membership." Perhaps it could be rephrased as, as the rate in the fall of union membership slows, the middle-class income share of the national economy collapses.
Further, I seem to be noticing that during the Bush years, the middle-class share held it own.
Darn charts put out by the left.

Income inequality....
Submitted by adamsmith on Sun, 06/10/2012 - 11:18am.
is often the result of "effort inequality".....In Bill Maher's world the two squirrels during summer, one that works hard and saves his acorns, the other fritters the day away having fun, would have to have income equality. The squirrel that worked hard and saved had to cough up 70% of his acorns to give to the lazy bastard after the Commie Squirrel Contingent came to equalize things. Next he's going to have to move as property rights are removed for the common good. Now that I think about it, I think Maher has a couple of squirrels up his rectum, that would explain a lot....

I think a more telling statistic would be what the average income for the the bottom 20% in the US is compared to the bottom 20% of the rest of the world. I'm not sure what it is but I would bet that our poor have it better than the middle class in a lot of parts of the world.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

zinni™ by Garnet Hill Everyday Yoga Tee 18 18
Too Big I would recommend to a friend if they were able to order a size smaller. It is a stretchy fabric so that works - but the neckline and shoulder area is too large to comfortably do Yoga. August 15, 2014
Quality shirt love it - perfect for me; I got a size small. I am 118 lbs, 5'2 - love the look and quality, plus sale pricing - buy it, you'll like it! July 19, 2014
My favorite This is my favorite for yoga class. The fabric is so soft! I like the sleeve length and that it stays perfectly in place during inversions. Please bring it back in more colors!!! June 20, 2014
Very cute yoga tee! I have the red and violet stripe and it is very pretty and flattering. The fabric is a nice weight and definitely not thin which is great. I am 5'3", 110 pounds, small frame and chest, and the small fits well, slightly loose, not at all tight which I like. It is also a good length for my long torso. Will use for yoga and also everyday out and about. June 13, 2014
I got the coral/violet stripe and just love it. Very nice fabric and nice, comfy fit. I particularly like the elbow-length sleeves as they're very flattering and just a little different. Most GH tops I have are XS, but I ordered this one in S and it fits great. I'm only 5'1" and the slightly longer length is no problem at all. March 12, 2014
Great Tee (though not for me). Love this tee. Soft, substantial fabric, plenty of stretch and that wonderful Wild Aster color with the cute flower graphic! Sadly, it didn't fit me as I'd hoped (a bit loose where the underarm part of the sleeve meets the body of the shirt). That said, if it fits, you'll love it! February 28, 2014

Foreign Manufacturers Must be Held to Same Legal Standards as U.S. Businesses
Retired Police Officer to Testify about Destruction Chinese Drywall Made to Home
Washington, DC—The American Association for Justice (AAJ) today called for quick passage of the Foreign Manufacturers Legal Accountability Act (S. 1606 / H.R.4678), as the U.S. House Energy and Commerce's Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection today hears oral testimony on the legislation.
Retired police officer William Morgan of Williamsburg, VA, will testify about losing his home to foreclosure after the family was forced to relocate because of defective Chinese-manufactured drywall in his home, essentially rendering the home unsafe and worthless.
Because Taishan Gypsum, the manufacturer of the drywall, is owned and operated in China, the documents to hold the company accountable in the U.S. legal system had to be translated into Mandarin, with special process servers flying to China to serve the papers. After months of failing to respond to the legal proceedings, last week Taishan appealed the default ruling held by U.S. District Court Judge Eldon Fallon.
"Foreign corporations should not be able to profit by selling their products in our country if they do not intend to follow our safety standards, risking the health and safety of U.S. consumers," said American Association for Justice President Anthony Tarricone. "Both American businesses and consumers suffer when a foreign manufacturer cannot be held accountable in our legal system."
According to a recent analysis by AAJ, 83 percent (312) of the 377 recalls announced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in 2009 were from foreign manufacturers. The 2008 CPSC data is similar, when 84 percent (329) of recalls were from foreign manufacturers out of 392 total recalls for the year.
Currently, bringing a case against a foreign manufacturer requires serving legal notice on the company in their country. This often means translating the papers into the language of the native country and tracking down the companies' foreign address, adding time and thousands of dollars in expense to the legal process.
The Foreign Manufacturers Legal Accountability Act (S. 1606 / H.R.4678) does several things:
- Requires manufacturers to have an "agent" located in at least one state where the company does business that would accept service of process for civil and regulatory claims.
- By registering an agent, companies would consent to U.S. jurisdiction in disputes involving U.S. consumers.
- The legislation covers products regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), such as children's toys; the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including prescription drugs and medical devices; and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), like pesticides.

"This is the second year I have ordered Christmas cards from TINY PRINTS. I LOVED BOTH CARDS. I also got a lot of compliments on them. Excellent quality. Excellent service. Excellent Customer Service. I have also bought thank you cards and return address labels. Everything has been of the highest quality. I will not shop anywhere else! Thank you TINY PRINTS!"
"Card quality was excellent, print quality was good, and service was exceptional. Paper had a slight texture to it so we were concerned about print quality of the photograph we were inserting. I was surprised to see the photo came out real nice. It is however, NOT photo paper so don't expect it to be ultra-crisp!"
"I felt this was a high quality card. The printing and colors were top of the line. I've had lots of compliments from everyone who has received the card. Very happy!"
"The selection this year wasn't stellar but I sill managed to find a few to choose from. The card quality is thick and the printing is perfect. I have yet to have any imperfections. Thank you Tiny Prints. Ill see you next time!!"
"I was surprised to find that the blue cards we ordered turned out to be pretty dark when printed. Overall though the quality of the cards is fantastic. And tinyprints accidentally sent me 2 shipments of 40 cards when we only ordered 1 shipment of 40, so I appreciate the freebie!"

Tomé Mud Play
Heidi Snell/Visual Escape Images
Get your hands dirty during a day of clay at the Tomé Art Gallery. Then be blindfolded and throw a pot. (On a wheel, of course. Kinda like in Ghost.) The blindfolded-pot-throwing contest is just one of the cool things happening. Gallery potters will lead visitors through multiple experiences, such as constructing clay animals. Learn how to make an olla! Don't know what that is? Find out! Experts in specific kinds of clay firing—especially raku and horsehair—will explain what those are, and visitors can glaze and fire some premade vessels. The demo day ushers in the gallery's annual show, which runs May 20 through 29, and features work from more than 10 professionals, as well as students from ongoing pottery classes. Works ranging from functional stoneware to sculpture will be on display.

activities and attractions in Lubec Maine
Lubec has bold coastal cliffs, coastal rain forest, wildflower
meadows, and several sandy beaches (rare this far Down East). The
region is host to three state parks, a national wildlife refuge, and
several nature preserves, all of which offer well-maintained hiking
trails. Lubec claims the easternmost point of land in the United
States and is home to the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, one of the most
photographed lighthouses in the country. In fact, you can see and
visit 5 lighthouses within a 10-mile radius of Lubec. Local whale,
wildlife, and puffin tours offer the chance to observe nature up
close. Nearby kayak and canoe rental facilities and the many public
boat ramps in the area also offer a chance to explore and observe on
the water. The area is rich in history--from the first naval battle
of the Revolutionary War to Maine's own "Cannery Row," which lined
waterfronts of the Down East coast. You can tee off at area golf
courses; visit museums; explore the beauty of natural, undeveloped
coastline; view wildlife up close and personal; take the kids to
safe, clean, fresh water swimming holes; stroll deserted beaches;
visit state, national, and international parks; hike or kayak; or
just relax and let life flow on by. You'll find it all here--rich
history, spectacular scenery, abundant wildlife, and friendly people.

It happens to almost everybody: It's the dead of summer and your air conditioning unit breaks.
In order to prevent that catastrophe from happening to you, FOX 10's Diane Ryan talks to Dan Burke, with Goettl Good Guys Air Conditioning Repairmen, about how much heat your unit can handle.
Here is some of his advice:
1. Check and clean filters to reduce energy use, compressor strain,improve indoor air quality, and to improve comfort.
2. Inspect the outside (on the ground) condensing unit to insure it is completely clearof any leaves, grass cuttings, paper or other debris or blockage that will restrict theair pulled through the coil which is necessary to cool the home efficiently.
3. Be aware of any new or different sounds coming from the unit or if it shut downsduring the hottest time of the day. This is an indication that the unit needs to beserviced. As with just about any major piece of equipment, ignoring the relativelyinexpensive repairs and adjustments can eventually lead to expensive breakdownsat the worst possible time.
4. Minimize the operation of kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans which exhaust air conditioned air to the outside.

The expo, which featured over 50 purveyors, showcased some of the world's most renowned chocolate makers — as well as some innovative new chocolate products. Read on to see the highlights of the salon. Kika's Treats What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 At the Kika's Treats booth, Kika herself (far right) was present to offer salon-goers her Brazilian honey cakes with dark chocolate and delectable samples of her caramelized graham crackers with dark chocolate. 1 / 15 Christopher Michael Chocolates' Sizzling Bacon Bar What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Christopher Michael Chocolates served up samples of its Sizzling Bacon Bar, which contained, among other ingredients, crispy bacon, smoked salt, and popping candy. 2 / 15 Choffy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 One of the most intriguing new items I came across was Choffy, a drink made from brewed cacao beans. Choffy contains about as much caffeine as decaf coffee, but naturally contains a stimulant called theobromine, which isn't supposed to have jittery side effects. 3 / 15 Choclatique What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Choclatique booth had the longest line of all, and rightfully so: the All-American Apple Pie truffles were decadent and comforting at the same time. 4 / 15 Vermeer Liqueur What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Created by the mastermind behind SKYY vodka, this Dutch chocolate cream liqueur was served chilled to passersby in tall shotglasses and topped with maraschino cherries. 6 / 15 Chocolate-Covered Cacao Nibs What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Cacao nibs covered in chocolate appear to be the new salted caramel; variations of them were everywhere at this year's event. 6 / 15 Chocolate Art What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The chocolate theme wasn't limited to food and drink — there were chocolate-inspired works of art, chocolate-inspired makeovers, and chocolate spa products to boot. 7 / 15 LOFT Liqueurs What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The folks behind Loft Liqueurs were on hand to pour their new flavors, blueberry and raspberry. 8 / 15 Quady Winery What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Quady, a central California winery, was pouring dessert wines to complement all the chocolate being served. In addition to Electra, they poured other favorites like Essencia and Elysium. 9 / 15 William Dean Chocolates What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The William Dean Chocolate table showcased stunning truffles, and sold unique combinations I'd never seen before, like this white chocolate bar studded with wasabi peas and crystallized ginger. 11 / 15 Edible Love Chocolates What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Maybe it was the energy. Or the craftsmanship. But it was most certainly the love at Edible Love that made it the most fun chocolate of the day. Philippe (shown here, drawing a crowd) and his wife teach chocolate-making classes and craft their unique truffles out of Berkeley, CA. My favorite flavors were rose and absinthe. 11 / 15 Brix Chocolate What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I sampled Brix Chocolate — bars of chocolate designed especially for wine — with some cabernet. The chocolate was fruity yet robust enough to pair with a big red. 12 / 15 Socola Guinness Truffles What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 On its own, Guinness has notes of caramel and chocolate, so it only makes sense that it would impart another layer of depth to truffles, such as the ones seen here by Socola Chocolates. 13 / 15 Amano Artisan Chocolate What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Utah-based Amano Chocolate has garnered the attention of the food world with its commitment to quality production, and makes all of its chocolate in small batches. Using different beans from Madagascar, Venezuela, and Indonesia, Amano seeks to apply the concept of terroir to chocolate as well. 14 / 15 Chocoholics Body Frosting What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A group of spectators looked on as a Taste TV model was adorned with edible chocolate body frosting. 15 / 15 0 0 0 0 0 Read More Edible LoveChoffySf Chocolate SalonSlideshowChocolateCandySan Francisco candy This Pop Rocks Margarita Is All Grown Up 4 weeks ago 11 Reasons It Was Sweet to Be a '90s Kid 7/21 This Candy Bar Is Like a Rave in Your Mouth . . . in a Good Way 7/20 Lovely Chocolate-Lace Lollipops Are Shockingly Easy to Make 6/11 Pretty in Pink: Stunning Edible Flower Lollipops 5/29 What Totally Sweet '90s Candy Are You? 5/28 Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

A colonoscopy is an exam used to detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine (colon) and rectum.
During a colonoscopy, a long, flexible tube (colonoscope) is inserted into the rectum. A tiny video camera at the tip of the tube allows the doctor to view the inside of the entire colon.
If necessary, polyps or other types of abnormal tissue can be removed through the scope during a colonoscopy. Tissue samples (biopsies) can be taken during a colonoscopy as well.
Your doctor may recommend a colonoscopy to:
A colonoscopy poses few risks. Rarely, complications of a colonoscopy may include:
After discussing the risks of colonoscopy with you, your doctor will ask you to sign a consent form authorizing the procedure.
Before a colonoscopy, you'll need to clean out (empty) your colon. Any residue in your colon may obscure the view of your colon and rectum during the exam.
To empty your colon, your doctor may ask you to:
During the exam
During a colonoscopy, you'll wear a gown but likely nothing else. Sedation is usually recommended. Sometimes a mild sedative is given in pill form. In other cases, the sedative is combined with an intravenous pain medication to minimize any discomfort.
You'll begin the exam lying on your side on the exam table, usually with your knees drawn toward your chest. The doctor will insert a colonoscope into your rectum. The scope — which is long enough to reach the entire length of your colon — contains a light and a tube (channel) that allows the doctor to pump air into your colon. The air inflates the colon, which provides a better view of the lining of the colon. When the scope is moved or air is introduced, you may feel abdominal cramping or the urge to have a bowel movement.
The colonoscope also contains a tiny video camera at its tip. The camera sends images to an external monitor so the doctor can study the inside of your colon. The doctor can also insert instruments through the channel to take tissue samples (biopsies) or remove polyps or other areas of abnormal tissue.
A colonoscopy typically takes about 20 minutes to an hour.
After the exam
After the exam, it takes about an hour to begin to recover from the sedative. You'll need someone to take you home because it can take up to a day for the full effects of the sedative to wear off. Don't drive or go back to work for the rest of the day.
If your doctor removed a polyp during your colonoscopy, you may be advised to eat a special diet temporarily.
You may feel bloated or pass gas for a few hours after the exam, as you clear the air from your colon. Walking may help relieve any discomfort.
You may also notice a small amount of blood with your first bowel movement after the exam. Usually this isn't cause for alarm. Consult your doctor if you continue to pass blood or blood clots or if you have persistent abdominal pain or a fever of 100 F (37.8 C) or higher.
Your doctor will review the results of the colonoscopy and then share the results with you.
Positive result. A colonoscopy is considered positive if the doctor finds any polyps or abnormal tissue in the colon. Most polyps aren't cancerous, but some can be precancerous. Polyps removed during colonoscopy are sent to a laboratory for analysis to determine whether they are cancerous, precancerous or noncancerous.
Depending on the size and number of polyps, you may need to follow a more rigorous screening schedule in the future. If your doctor finds one or two polyps less than 0.4 inches (1 centimeter) in diameter, a repeat colonoscopy in five to 10 years may be adequate, depending on your other risk factors for colon cancer. If you have larger polyps, more polyps or polyps with certain cell characteristics, your doctor may recommend another colonoscopy in three to five years — again, depending on your other risk factors. If one or more cancerous polyps are removed during your colonoscopy, your doctor may recommend a follow-up colonoscopy in as little as three months, six months or a year. If you have a polyp or other abnormal tissue that couldn't be removed during the colonoscopy, your doctor may recommend follow-up surgery.
If your doctor is concerned about the quality of the view through the scope, he or she may recommend a repeat colonoscopy or a shorter time until your next colonoscopy. If your doctor wasn't able to advance the scope through your entire colon, a barium enema or virtual colonoscopy may be recommended to examine the rest of your colon.

This place looks very unassuming from the outside. Luckily it's right below the Boston Bistro and Pub so if you see one then you see the other. Walking in right away I saw some nice Belgians and English beers as well as a few German and high end American Micros. Not a huge selection by any means but definitely a high quality one. A warning goes out to watch out for the dust as some of the bottles are quite dusty. Going further there's a large cooler with a number of micros (mostly American). Not a huge selection but once again, high quality. This store is more of a wine store, a high end one even though the appearance would fool you. The owner seemed more interested in helping wine people out than helping me which was offputting, but they were buying expensive wines so I think I just timed my appearance wrongly. All in all, the best store in northern Dayton by far with some very unusual choices.

First off, this place is a wine store, not a beer store. Because of this the selection is below modest. Maybe a hand full of bombers that included Stone and Chimay that sat right in the sun from the door. They do have a walk in cooler but it is filled with holes and there is hardly more than 2 6pks of any one item.
There were tastings for wine available but no beer. The guy at the counter was nice enough but didn't really know how to field any of my specific questions.
Not a place to go for beer. A decent wine selection though.

Edit with respect to another BA. There are too many holes in the cooler selection. I've asked many times when they will fill in the Victory selection. No answer. They are well stocked with Bell's though. Expedition for $15.99. Clerk said they sell at state minimum but I know that's not right. The brews just inside the door sit in bright sunlight many hours a day. Most are at least in brown bottles but some have been there for many years. I asked about an Alesmith Wee Heavy and was told it had been there for 2 years in the sun. No way. The staff is more familiar with wine than beer so I don't bother asking any more.
Edit as of 10.26.06 The holes in the cooler continue to grow, no Victory, very few Bells. Actually went in last night and found nothing I was interested in. You can just feel the "who cares" attitude when you walk in. The place is going downhill fast, thank god I found a much better retailer who cares about service and selection. If the owner doesn't care, neither do I.
Edit as of 9.19.07 Same holes in the cooler, no new brews despite the owner promising me he would order and call me when things came in. The IGA and Belmont Party Supply have tons of new brews. When I asked the disinterested guy behind the counter why there were no new brews he said it was hard to keep beer in stock. What BS!! They've given up. Don't waste your time.
Edit as of 8.20.08 Hey, at least I'm giving them a chance to improve. No changes from the above reviews. While retailers all around have had a year of adding great beers, Boston's stock hasn't changed at all. They definitely don't sell at state minimum, several beers were priced $1 over other retailers. I just don't get it (you were not brought upon this world to "get it!") Don't think I care enough to do an 09 review.
Edit as of 7.8.10 There's much more beer in my fridge than there is at this place. No wine and maybe a total of 20 bottles of beer. Gotta give the owner credit, still there and writing down what I want him to order for me. How about a Bud?

Steve Boston, the owner, is mainly interested in wine, but has a decent selection of beer to satisfy the beer consumers. I used to live in one of the apartments on the second level of that building, and I have to admit that Id never of thought to go inside of it from the looks of the outside of the building. His sign is old and worn, along with the outside of the building. The inside is also a bit worn down and dusty. Boston used to have a pretty decent selection of both wines and beers, but Ive noticed his stock really declining in the past year. Still, its probably the best (closest) place to go to in North Dayton for decent beers. Make sure you walk inside the cooler though!! Most of his microbrews and imports arent even stocked behind the coolers glass doors.

This is a quiet little store on a corner that has a bar attached to it. Sort of looks like an old office building with 2 stories. Inside is not very modern, old worn carpet, wood paneling, etc.. However, do not be discouraged this is a good stop. First off, The service is better than good. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable. If you have a question, he will give you a good, truthful answer. This is important, because unfortunately good service is hard to come by in this day and age. The selection is good, not outstanding but solid. Near thew front, they have some Belgian beers, bombers of Stone, other larger bottles. Walk inside the cooler for all of the six packs. Good range of beers from Bell's, Pyramid, Dogfish, etc.. I have noticed problems with their suppliers lately. It took almost a month for them to get Anchor OSA, after their original ship date. I don't know that they carry anything that can't be found elsewhere, but for the north side of town, this is the place to go.

There are many storylines and subplots to consider as we head into the final regular season game. One of the most interesting is the upcoming "Battle in Seattle" of two strong Pac 10 Freshman of the Year candidates. I wanted to look at their cases, along with several other contenders for the award. I am also interested in how fans of other teams vote, so I will put this FanPost on each site.
My first criterion is the Name Test. Have I heard of you? I know this is the least statistically sound way to evaluate somebody, but it is necessary to cut down the field of freshmen to the at least occasional impact players. I have "heard" of some other freshmen than listed here, by the way, but I can't include everyone. Here is the initial list (I did have to pore over rosters to remember some of the players):
Kyle Fogg (Arizona)
Jorge Gutierrez (Cal)
Garrett Sim (Oregon)
Michael Dunigan (Oregon)
Josh Crittle (Oregon)
Jeremy Green (Stanford)
Malcolm Lee (UCLA)
Jrue Holiday (UCLA)
J'mison Morgan (UCLA)
DeMar DeRozan (USC)
Leonard Washington (USC)
Isaiah Thomas (UW)
Klay Thompson (WSU)
Second, I think it is fair to eliminate any player who does not contribute at least fifteen minutes per game. Obviously the top contenders will play much more, but this is more of an initial step:
Jorge Gutierrez
Garrett Sim
Michael Dunigan
Josh Crittle
Jeremy Green
Malcolm Lee
Jrue Holiday
J'mison Morgan
DeMar DeRozan
Leonard Washington
Isaiah Thomas
Klay Thompson
I think it would be fair to say that this list contains the only people who will receive any votes this year. Next let's look at some per-game statistics. Before stat geeks sets their hair on fire, I didn't want to sort through Ken Pomeroy's tempo-free stats for 10 different players, but I will use his stats in narrowing the field eventually. Let's start with saying the players must average at least 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 2.5 assists. I kind of decided those arbitrarily, so I will include people which are much higher in one but lower in another (this also helps account for different positions). Before I completely eliminate someone, I will double check things like defensive stats and efficiency (in this case, points per shot).
Kyle Fogg (slightly lower than cutoff in each category but very efficient)
Jorge Gutierrez Garrett Sim
Michael Dunigan (lower assists, but good overall stats)
Jeremy Green
Jrue Holiday (more assists, fewer rebounds)
DeMar DeRozan (more points, fewer assists)
Leonard Washington
Isaiah Thomas (more points, fewer rebounds)
Klay Thompson (more points, fewer assists)
So we are down to six. Now let's start looking at tempo-free stats. I'll list some relevant KenPom stats for each player. Unfortunately at this point I have to switch from conference-only statistics to against all competition. Ken often uses stats that are adjusted for the level of competition, though not all of them are, but hopefully we'll still get an accurate picture of how good the players are. Red text is national rank for all college players. (Click on picture for larger version)
Offensively, Fogg appears to be the best, but note that he is rarely involved in possessions. He doesn't shoot much, though when he does shoot he makes them, doesn't do a lot of rebounding or assisting, but gives up a lot of turnovers. Less than great defensive numbers just add to the arguments against him, so I'm saying he goes.
Dunigan is more the opposite, with the best defensive numbers of the remaining players. Note that he is the lowest in minutes, probably because he is the highest in fouls committed. He also draws a lot of fouls, but judging by his TS% I would guess he doesn't make too many free throws. Great rebounder but a turnover machine. Pretty much everything about his profile screams "talented but makes typical freshman mistakes." I say he goes as well.
Thomas and Thompson both take the most scoring opportunities on their teams and do pretty well with those chances. DeRozan is close behind and Holiday shoots better but less often. Thomas is the outlier (in a bad way) in rebounding. Thomas and Holiday both have essentially the same assist and turnover rates, both high, while DeRozan turns over far more often, and Klay is better but not quite as good as the first two. Defensively, it looks to be about a wash between Klay and Holiday, with Thomas a little behind and DeRozan bringing up the rear. I think we can eliminate DeRozan now.
To pick a winner from the last three players is definitely subjective. Just by the stats, I think you'd have to go with Holiday. He is the best shooter, rebounder, assister and defender. His only real downside is that he also has the most turnovers. Considering more than stats, however, you have to note that he is probably the 3rd or 4th option on his team offensively, UCLA's man to man defense is so good that Holiday can play the passing lanes to get a good steal rate, and he's probably playing on the team with the most talent in the starting 5.
Thomas's main arguments statistically are that he plays more minutes than Holiday, uses far more possessions (thus is more important to his team), and draws a ridiculous 6.4 fouls per 40 minutes. He constantly gets the other team in foul trouble, which is incredibly important against teams with limited depth. Subjectively, he was "the missing piece" to the UW puzzle, leading them from 8th last year to 1st this year. He has allowed Dentmon to slide over to his more natural shooting guard position, and consistently draws weak side help defenders, providing plenty of opportunities for Brockman down low. Much of the support for Thomas comes from evidence that does not always show up in statistics.
Thompson is the best of the three in only four categories – minutes, committing fouls, blocking, and not turning the ball over. Please note that each of these categories is a rate, meaning that his avoidance of fouling and turnovers is not directly related to WSU's slow pace. On statistics alone, he is close or ahead of Thomas in everything except assists and drawing fouls, and I think you could argue that Klay wins the statistical battle here and is only slightly behind Holiday. Judging from the minutes played, Klay is the most important to his team in terms of depth, as the dropoff after him on the bench is significant.
So how would YOU vote? By the stats, Holiday is the winner. By "importance to team," you could go with Klay or Thomas. Thomas is the key to the UW offense, and UW is first in the league, but he also has a lot more talent around him than WSU provides (though less than UCLA). Vote now!

Public Health England does not give travel health advice directly to members of the public, but it works closely with the National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC). NaTHNaC develops travel health advice for doctors, practice nurses, pharmacists, and other health professionals so that they can provide a complete travel health advice service to the public. Travel health advice for each country in the world is also available on the NaTHNaC Country Information Pages.
This page is designed to give you, the traveller, all the information you need to get the correct travel health advice so that your trip is not ruined by being ill.
See your doctor/practice nurse or visit a travel clinic well in advance of your trip (ideally 4-6 weeks, but it is never too late) in case you need any vaccinations or malaria tablets. This is also a good opportunity to check that you and your family are up to date with routine vaccinations recommended in the UK schedule. This is important because some childhood infections, such as diphtheria or polio for example, are more common in some countries than they are in the UK.
The most common health problems experienced by travellers are: an upset stomach or travellers' diarrhoea, sunburn, problems from insect bites, sexually-transmitted infections, or accidents and injuries. The links below give advice on how to avoid these problems:
For higher risk destinations (see the NaTHNaC Country Information Pages ), as well as the issues mentioned above, there may be other infections (preventable by vaccine or tablets) to consider such as:
Find your local yellow fever vaccination centre.
Vaccines do not protect against all diseases that may be present in a country. There are other infections that may be transmitted by food and water or by insect bites (e.g. dengue or chikungunya fever), and therefore all travellers should ensure they maintain good food and water hygiene practices and take measures to avoid insect bites. Check the relevant NaTHNaC Country Information Pages and NHS Scotland's NHS Scotland Fitfortravel for the possible risks (and ways to prevent them) in the country you are visiting.
To keep up to date on issues or events around the world which may affect travellers from the UK, including safety and security advice, please see:
If you were born in a malaria-risk area, or lived there for many years, you may assume that you are immune to the disease or that it would not be a serious illness for you. Any acquired immunity does not, however, continue once you have left a malaria-risk area and malaria can still be life threatening to you. Furthermore, children born in the UK will not have any immunity to malaria. You and your family are likely to be at risk of contracting malaria if you return to a malaria-risk area, so you must make sure you are all adequately protected.
More information about travel advice for those not born in the UK is available from the Migrant Health Guide.

By Eric Boehm | PA Independent
HARRISBURG — Business groups, union leaders and representatives of state and local government threw their support behind a plan to provide Shell Oil with a $1.65 billion tax credit as part of the state budget agreement.
Gov. Tom Corbett assembled this coalition Wednesday at the state capitol as part of an ongoing effort by the administration to land an ethane cracker plant in Washington County. The plant would use natural gas to produce petrochemical products and could create 20,000 jobs.
The Keystone State is battling with Ohio and West Virginia to land the facility.
The unity displayed by groups that normally oppose each other in state politics was important, said Corbett.
"Even across party lines, even across the lines of labor and business, we all understand that this is an opportunity for the future of our state," Corbett said. "And it's not an opportunity that comes along very often."
A crucial piece of the puzzle is the passage of a special tax credit for ethane, which would be capped at $66 million annually and could give Shell a $1.65 billion tax break over 25 years.
Pennsylvania's corporate income tax is 9.99 percent, the highest in the nation. Combined with the United States' corporate income tax, Pennsylvania has the highest taxes on businesses in the world.
Gene Barr, president of business advocates Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, said the tax break would balance out those economic hurdles, and he encouraged the deal to be part of an overhaul of Pennsylvania's business climate.
"We need to move forward, because we're going to make products that this country and this world need, and we're going to create careers for our people here in Pennsylvania," Barr said.
John DeFazio, director of the United Steelworkers District 10, a sector of the largest manufacturing union in North America, said the ethane plant might be "the opportunity of 10 lifetimes" that Pennsylvania could not pass up.
But not everyone is on board with Corbett's tax break proposal.
Sharon Ward, executive director of the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center, a liberal think tank here, said lawmakers should question a tax break to the world's second largest company.
"Shell's parent company had $20 billion in profit in 2010, up 60 percent from the year before," she said. "The question for lawmakers should be why is Pennsylvania providing any subsidy to this project at all?"
Corbett and others defended the tax credit as being for more than just one company, and ensured that the legislation would not allow for any tax breaks unless jobs were created and other production benchmarks were hit.
"We're not giving anything away," said Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald . "It's almost like hiring a sales representative and paying them only on commission on the sales they make, not giving them the money up front."
The tax credits would not start until 2017, so this year's budget would not be affected, Corbett said.
Asked if low taxes for all companies would be better rather than tax breaks for a single corporation, Corbett said those other companies were not coming into the state.
If other large companies came to the state looking for similar arrangements to provide thousands of jobs, he would consider it and the General Assembly should as well.
"That's not a Republican or Democratic goal. It's good policy; it's good politics," he said.

Bringing a retro video game to a modern audience is so much more than just updating the graphics. Extreme "old-school" difficulty has largely been replaced by sheer length, stories are far more important, and there are more buttons than there used to be. If all you change are the graphics, you limit your audience to that of the original game, a significant portion of whom may no longer bother with video games.
Developer Double Helix Games has already shown a knack for updates of beloved retro properties with their take on "Killer Instinct," the free-to-play fighter exclusive to the Xbox One. As such, they must have looked like the perfect studio to take on the fast, furious ninja action of "Strider" ($14.99; rated E-10), a side-scrolling jump-n-hackathon last relevant in the heyday of the Sega Genesis.
Double Helix was more than a good choice for "Strider" – it was a perfect choice. "Strider" is a beautiful take on an old game, tuned perfectly to the sensibility of the modern gamer.
'Feel like a superhero'
Right off the bat, "Strider" shares much in common with its original arcade/Genesis iteration. As Strider Hayabusa, you are dropped into a dystopian version of Kazakhstan that comes off as a hyperbolic version of Cold War Russia, taken over by an evil dictator with unlimited technology and a smattering of magical powers at his disposal. Less than 30 seconds in you're slicing robot drones in half with Strider's signature semi-circular sword slice, and pulling off cartwheel jumps through bullets without thinking twice.
You immediately feel like a superhero, which makes it all the more exciting when you start to get new powers like Kunai (ninja stars), explosive sword swings, and a terrain-busting downward thrust.
Balanced design
"Strider" does one of the best jobs I've seen in years of balancing new powers with increased difficulty. You hardly notice how impressive some of the moves are until you start to backtrack through previous scenes looking for more upgrades and powers. The ease with which you slice your way through early enemies is a clear sign of progression, and applying that progression to the more difficult baddies in the endgame is extremely satisfying.
There's a story here, too, though it doesn't amount to much more than "kill these bad guys so you can kill these other bad guys and eventually kill the big bad guy." That's OK. A story in a game like this would just be a distraction to the acrobatics and sword slicing.
The "Strider" campaign can be finished in around five hours of straight game play, but figuring out the world's many puzzles and finding the many hidden "fallen Striders" around the game's world can easily double that.
Double Helix was recently bought by Amazon.com, even though it's not yet clear what Amazon plans to do with the developer. (There's a rumored Amazon-branded game console on the horizon, but nothing set in stone.) Regardless of Amazon's endgame, it's easy to see what makes Double Helix so appealing. This is quality gaming. "Strider" is a game not just to be played, but mastered, and is worth every penny of its extremely reasonable asking price.
Note: "Strider" is available now on PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.
New This Week: The long wait for "South Park: The Stick of Truth" (X360, PS3, PC) is finally over, which means our dreams of playing a turn-based role-playing game in South Park, Colo., can finally come true. The second episode of the second season of TellTale Games' magnificent "The Walking Dead" adventure series (PS3, X360, PC) also arrives this week.

Green wins game one of Baseball's Fall World Series, 11-3
A solid night by sophomore Taylor Ratliff helped the Green team take an 11-3 win over Gold in the JU baseball Fall World Series on Wednesday at John Sessions Stadium.
Ratliff went 4-for-5 in the leadoff spot, including a two-run homer in the eighth inning to give the Green team a 1-0 advantage. Sophomore Patrick Long added two hits, while Gold captain senior Kevin Lehane went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a home run.
Freshman Jeff Tanner earned the win in relief for the Green team, allowing one run on three hits in 2.1 innings. Junior Joe Ryan allowed a run in 2.2 relief innings, while sophomore Tony Mollica got the no-decision after giving up a run and fanning three batters in four innings.
The other Gold captain, senior Steven Eageton, took the loss after allowing four runs on seven hits in 5.1 innings of work.
Trailing 2-0 in the third inning, the Gold cut the deficit with a sacrifice fly from senior Matt Frank to plate Lehane.
The Green broke the game open with a five-run fifth inning to take a 7-1 advantage. Green benefitted from five walks, while Ratliff added a two-run single to cap the scoring.
Sophomore Tyler Hooten doubled to start the eighth inning before Ratliff followed with a home run to right field off of freshman Spencer Jack for a 9-2 lead.
In the ninth inning, Hooten brought home a run with a sacrifice fly, while Lehane homered for the Gold team to close out the night.
Game two of the series is tonight at 5:30 p.m. with the series finale coming on Saturday at 1 p.m. at John Sessions Stadium.

If getting pregnant has been a challenge for you and your partner, you're not alone -- about 10 percent of the population has infertility issues. But one couple's dream of being parents is now a reality because of an innovative technique and a little bit of luck.
The Schiraldi family is celebrating a first birthday. Little Kenley is one today, but for this family, 'first' has special meaning.
Jen Schiraldi says, "I guess you could say we knew our chances weren't good, but we didn't know that this had never happened before."
It seems like a simple formula: Mom + Dad = Baby.
But it wasn't that easy for Jen and Jason.
"It's easier to take when it's just happening to you versus preventing her from having what she's wanted her entire life as well," says Jason Shiraldi.
Jen had trouble producing eggs and Jason was unable to produce sperm the way most men do, so fertility experts at Cleveland Clinic had to surgically remove tissue and search by hand for Jason's sperm. Normally, thousands of viable sperm can be found this way, but after hours of searching, Jason only had one.
"We were able to find this one lone sperm that we were able to freeze, all by its lonesome," Dr. Nina Desai explains.
Usually large numbers of sperm are frozen together, but this time the challenge was freezing one all by itself.
"We've been working on finding a way to do single-sperm freezing since about 2001," says Dr. Desai. "We take this little half a microlitre or so of fluid, place it on the gutter, and we slow freeze this and then immerse this in liquid nitrogen."
Once Jen produced enough eggs, the sperm was carefully thawed and injected into one of them.
"For the Shiraldis, this was the first time that a single frozen sperm created the embryo that was actually transferred, says Dr. Desai.
It was the their one shot at having a baby.
"They couldn't calculate the odds - it's never happened," says Jason.
"You know I always just say she's our wish that came true," says Jen. "If they want to call her a miracle, I'm fine with that, but she was our hope and our wish and our dream. And she came true."

UPDATE - Chantilly was adopted!
Chantilly is a 6-year-old Australian Shepherd/Labrador mix who has been at Pima Animal Care Center since March 6.
She is a very sweet and calm dog who would do very well with someone with a relaxed lifestyle who is looking for a dog to curl up with on the couch or to take on a casual stroll around the block.
Chantilly loves to just take her leisurely time walking and enjoys stopping to smell the flowers.
She has been spayed and microchipped so she is ready to go to her new home today.
Chantilly is available to adopt for $15 at PACC, 4000 N. Silverbell Road.
For more great pictures of Chantilly, visit the Ted Hewitt Photography Facebook page.
Last week's pet, Toby, was adopted. So now let's find Chantilly a forever home!

But really... I thought they were pretty cool. Maybe its because I'm a Beaver (heh...) and I bleed Orange and Black. So maybe it looks good to us, but not to them.
I don't know.
Or maybe that picture looks good to me just because Mike Hass is in it. Another possible reason.

News: Drake, Kanye West & Justin Timberlake Dominate Video Music Awards '13 [Video]
Monday, Aug 26, 2013 1:39AM
Young Money's Drake, Kanye West and pop star Justin Timberlake clearly turned out to be the highlights of Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards with must-watch performances.
The Young Money protégé helped ignite excitement and even sparked some televised reactions from blockbuster actor Will Smith's family with a couple performances.
Drake had been promising an explosive performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, and Drizzy definitely delivered! After an enthusiastic introduction by T-Boz and Chilli of TLC, Drake's performance started quietly with the mellow 'Hold On, We're Going Home.' The camera captured his face in profile against a blue-sky background, resembling the just-released cover artwork for upcoming album 'Nothing Was the Same.' After a couple of verses, the song stopped, and Drizzy shifted gears. He jogged through the crowd, slapping hands as he went, jumped on a small stage and started into 'Started From the Bottom.' He rapped while energetically bouncing, hands the air and encouraging the Barclays Center crowd to join him. The pyrotechnics then heated up in earnest, with Drake running all over the stage. The camera caught Will and Jaden Smith loving it, but Rihanna? Her reaction was strangely uninterested. (Pop Crush)
Mr. West raised the bar Sunday night by performing his set in the dark.
Kanye West performed at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday (August 25) for a historic seventh time. West captivated the Video Music Awards audience with a dramatic version of 'Blood on the Leaves', which features on his current album Yeezus. His performance was noticeably more intimate than previous turns on the awards show, with West rapping passionately against a projected image of a darkened landscape. The rapper's seventh performance at the MTV awards show tied him with Madonna for the all-time record. (Digital Spy)
Justin Timberlake brought viewers back with an unexpected reunion with former crew 'N Sync.
Miley Cyrus' foam finger, Lady Gaga's thong, Taylor Swift's mean streak and the look on Rihanna's face while Drake performed will surely be remembered, but these MTV Video Music Awards belonged to Justin Timberlake. Timberlake briefly reunited with 'N Sync, won moonman trophies including top honor video of the year for "Mirrors" plus the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award and managed to overshadow most of today's top pop stars while doing it. "I don't deserve the award, but I'm not going to give it back," Timberlake said. "I'm taking this home." Macklemore & Ryan Lewis were the night's other top winners, taking home trophies for best hip-hop video and best cinematography for "Can't Hold Us," and best video with a social message for "Same Love." They performed that song with Mary Lambert and Jennifer Hudson in a show-stopping moment. (Daily Herald)
Music duo Macklemore & Ryan Leslie stole the show with a slew of big wins.
Video of the year: Justin Timberlake, "Mirrors" Best female video: Taylor Swift, "I Knew You Were Trouble." Best male video: Bruno Mars, "Locked Out of Heaven" Best pop video: Selena Gomez, "Come & Get It" Best hip-hop video: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Ray Dalton, "Can't Hold Us" Best rock video: Thirty Seconds to Mars, "Up In the Air" Best collaboration: Pink and Nate Ruess of fun., "Just Give Me a Reason" Best video with a social message: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Mary Lambert, "Same Love" (Huffington Post)
Timberlake also bodied ample competition with wins for "Best Editing" and "Best Direction."
Best song of the summer: One Direction, "Best Song Ever" Artist to watch: Austin Mahone, "What About Love" Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award: Justin Timberlake Best direction: Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie" (director David Fincher) Best visual effects: Capital Cities, "Safe and Sound" Best choreography: Bruno Mars, "Treasure" Best art direction: Janelle Monae featuring Erykah Badu, "Q.U.E.E.N." Best cinematography: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Ray Dalton, "Can't Hold Us" Best editing: Justin Timberlake, "Mirrors" (Huffington Post)

As of Wednesday, October 17, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA — Braves catcher Brian McCann could be ready for the first month of the 2013 season after having surgery Tuesday for an injury to his right shoulder that hampered his hitting this season.
The Braves said the surgery, performed by Braves orthopedic surgeon Dr. Xavier Duralde, arthroscopically repaired a tear in McCann's labrum. The tear was larger than was shown in a MRI.
McCann is expected to be able to return to light baseball activities in approximately four months. That schedule could have him ready for limited activity at the start of spring training.
The Braves said McCann should be able to return to full baseball activity in approximately six months if his rehabilitation goes as expected.
That could have McCann receiving full clearance in April.
The team has until three days after the World Series to pick up their $12 million option for McCann in 2013.
McCann dealt with soreness in his shoulder and tendinitis in his right knee this season. The shoulder problem didn't affect his throwing but contributed to his career-low .230 batting average this season.
McCann, a career .279 hitter, had 20 homers and 67 RBIs. He did not start in the Braves' wild-card loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.

Register-Herald Sports Writer
Are you ready for some football?
The North-South Football Classic, showcasing the state's top graduating players, will be played at University of Charleston Stadium at Laidley Field on June 15.
One player chomping at the bit for another shot on the field is Woodrow Wilson senior quarterback Andrew Johnson.
"That was one of the goals I set for myself — to play in that game," Johnson said.
He'll be joined by Beckley teammates Ramon Edwards and Michael Bailey.
"Ramon and I are brothers on and off the field," and excited Johnson said. "Hopefully there's some time when we can be side-by-side on a kick return.
"Michael Bailey is a great blocker. It's going to be great having him block for me one more time."
Other area players selected were Ethan Barker and Jake Grimmett (Midland Trail), Zack Johnson and Tyler Parker (Greenbrier West), Tre Moore (Greenbier East), Dustyn Murphy (Nicholas County), Slayton Beard (Valley), Brandon Thomas (River View), Tashan Vineyard (Mount View) and Brandon Williams (Oak Hill.)
Johnson's excitement was no surprise as he found out who will be suiting up alongside the Hargave Military Academy commit.
"It's the North-South All-Star Game. There's going to be a lot of great players," Johnson said. "There's sure to be a lot of great players to throw the ball to."
It was a rival of Johnson's in basketball that he was most looking forward to throwing the ball to in Travond Reese of South Charleston.
"Travond, that's my boy," Johnson said. "We play AAU (basketball) together. He'll be a big target out on the field."
The game will give Johnson one more time to play for Woodrow assistant coach Jim Martin. Martin will serve alongside Midland Trail's Randy Halsey and Lewis McClung on Joe Dean's staff.
Martin serves as quarterbacks coach for the Flying Eagles.
"I'm hoping it gives me a little advantage to get that starting spot," Johnson said.
The record-breaking Woodrow quarterback said he's willing to work as a kicker or punter if needed.
"I don't plan on having too many fourth downs though," he said with a laugh.
Players are voted on by high school football coaches from around the state. The top 36 graduating players in each region are then selected to play.
South coach Joe Dean said the event is more than a football game for the players involved.

With the way expansion rumors were flying last week it has seemed as if an eternity has passed since Texas decided to save the Big XII to now with the next expected domino to fall which is Utah to the Pac-10. So far, there has been little to no news on that front as Mountain West Conference commissioner Craig Thompson said he has not been contacted by the Pac-10 about their intentions to take Utah:
Thompson added that he has not heard from Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott since Texas declined the invitation to join the expanding conference Monday. Thompson was attending a meeting of conference commissioners in Northern California on Tuesday; Scott was not in attendance.
The key phrase from that quote is 'since Texas declined the invitation to join the expanding conference' which likely means that the Pac-10 has had contact with the Mountain West and/or Utah about joining their league prior to Texas declining their invitation.
The reason the Pac-10 is not in any hurry to add Utah is because according to the Mountain West bylaws a team only needs to give notice by September 1st to begin play the following year in a new league.

Groups Applaud Congressional Action to Prevent FSIS Furloughs
National Cattlemen's Beef Association President Scott George says Congressional passage of the continuing resolution with a provision to shift funds from USDA accounts to pay Food Safety Inspection Service inspectors is great news for every segment of American agriculture. National Pork Producers Council President Randy Spronk called it very good news for pork producers and other livestock and poultry producers. George says this shift of finances will avoid a crisis by keeping FSIS inspectors in the plants where they belong. According to Spronk - federal meat inspection is a function that should be maintained to protect public health by ensuring the safety of the U.S. meat supply. George thanked Senators Roy Blunt and Mark Pryor for ensuring the nation's food supply isn't limited by politics. Spronk added that the efforts of the Senators will protect food-animal producers and meat packers from costly losses and consumers from higher prices.
American Meat Institute President J. Patrick Boyle said lawmakers recognized the essential nature of meat and poultry inspection by taking this step to prevent inspector furloughs. The Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906 and related legislation requires the inspection of all meat, poultry and egg products produced in the U.S. or imported by a federal food safety inspector. Without inspection - no product can be sold or shipped interstate. Had inspection been halted - George says there would have been a backlog of animals, shortened supply of beef to market, higher prices and harm to the futures markets.
