We all had some experience with Calipari from his time with the Massachusetts Minutemen (UMass) first with a 1991 visit to Rupp, and during our 1996 championship season. His UMass team beat UK during the '96 regular season and Pitino's best team returned the favor in the one-and-done game that counted in the NCAA Tournament.
In that first game, UMass was ranked 5th and UK was ranked 1st in the A/P Poll. Calipari's team had two guards who matched up well with Kentucky's in Edgar Padilla and Carmelo Travieso. The difference maker, though, was Marcus Camby who dropped 32 points on the Cats in 33 minutes of action. He went 11 of 16 from the field, 10 of 11 from the charity stripe and grabbed 9 rebounds. UMass out-shot and out-rebounded Kentucky and we had no answer for Camby. You can see the game stats here. UMass won 92 - 82.
This game, however, wasn't the first encounter Kentucky fans had with John Calipari. We played them the year before and beat them 67-64 in East Rutherford, NJ after trailing 36-29 at the half. Camby only scored 5 points in that game.
In the game that mattered, the national semi-final, UMass was ranked #1 and UK #2 in the A/P poll. Kentucky led at the half 36-28 and won the game 81-74. Camby got his 25 points and 8 rebounds, but it wasn't enough. Kentucky hit 28 of 55 from the field compared to 29-62 and out-rebounded UMass 38-35. The difference was at the line where UK hit 22-30 compared to 13-19 for UMass. Both games that year could be considered classics.
As everyone who is not a Kentucky fan will remind us, Marcus Camby's hiring of an agent caused the first rumblings of Calipari being a cheat. Kentucky fans bought into that belief as well, even though the NCAA said that Calipari was not aware. No matter, UMass and Calipari's NCAA appearance was vacated.
We know his NBA history and his history at Memphis. Another vacated NCAA Tournament appearance in a ridiculous NCAA ruling where they ruled something was afoot with Derrick Rose's transcript after clearing him to play at the beginning of the season. Again, Kentucky fans bought into the "Cal is dirty"and "Calipari is sleazy" campaigns.
The One-and-Done Rule
In 2005, the NBA and the NBA Players Association came up with the idea of an age limit (19) or the requirement that a player must complete one year of college before being drafted. Prior to that, players could go directly from high school to the NBA. Several players had practiced one-and-done before this rule was implemented, Carmello Anthony, being one. Derrick Rose and Greg Oden were a couple of players who took advantage of the new rule.
No one seemed bothered by Oden leaving Ohio State, but Rose was another matter. None criticized Rose, but there was plenty of criticism for Calipari. The new rule eventually brought about the myth that Calipari couldn't coach. It didn't matter that Cal had a 193-71 record at UMass and a 219-65 record at Memphis. The "can't coach" campaign didn't begin in 2005, however. It came later.
Recruiting Rankings
John Calipari left the NBA for Memphis in 2000 and Rick Pitino left the NBA to replace Denny Crum at Louisville in 2001. Tubby Smith had assumed the reins at Kentucky in 1998 and won a national championship.
Scout and Rivals began their team recruiting rankings, coincidentally, in 2005. ESPN began theirs in 2007, but it was for "Insiders" only until 2008 when they let the non-paying public in on their "secret" premium rankings. So we'll begin with the Scout and Rivals rankings from 2005 and pick up ESPN's in 2008.
Louisville: Scout: #5, Rivals #5
Memphis: Scout #6, Rivals #7
Kentucky was not in the Top 25 according to both Scout and Rivals.
2006 – The 2006-2007 season was Tubby Smith's final season at Kentucky
Louisville: Scout #9, Rivals #9
Kentucky: Scout #16, Rivals #16
Memphis: Scout & Rivals: Not in Top 25
2007: Billy Gillespie was able to sign Tubby Smith's top Recruit, Patrick Patterson
Memphis: Scout #4, Rivals#10
Kentucky: Scout #11, Rivals 13
Louisville was not in Scout's Top 35 or Rivals Top 30
2008 – Derrick Rose leaves for the NBA after one season at Memphis.
Louisville: Scout #4, Rivals #6, ESPN #18
Memphis: Scout #6, Rivals #4, ESPN #14
Kentucky: Scout #15, Rivals #21, ESPN #19
2009 – 2013 Gillespie was fired in 2009 and the Calipari era began with 5 straight #1 classes through the 2013 class, according to Scout and Rivals. UK's 2012 class was ranked second behind UCLA by ESPN.
During this period of time, the mantra was "You can't win with one-and dones" and "Calipari can't coach. He just collects future NBA players and rolls the ball out onto the court." An Elite Eight, a Final Four and the 2012 National Championship proved both claims to be false.
This past season showed that you have to have some leadership from returning players. UK had none of that. Returning players also should complement the young freshmen. Again, we saw none of that this year.
The lessons learned here should be that a full roster of scholarship players is a necessity for the team's depth. Trying to get by with filling out the roster with walk-ons and transfers has also shown not to work. You need one or two experienced players as shown by the 2012 national championship team. Those experienced players, though, have to be able to play. Darius Miller is a good example as was Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb.
What we saw this year was a senior transfer who was supposed to be the 7th man get more playing time than any other player. The most consistent player was, arguably, a former walk-on who wasn't talented enough to carry the team on his shoulders. This season was unique in that the guard play was atrocious. Plus, we had two very passive players who started off and on as the season wore on. Both proved that Calipari could not count on them to fulfill their roles with any consistency.
I don't know who is going out the door or who is staying and there's no point in speculating. We'll find out soon enough. One thing is for sure, those who return are going to have to fight for playing time.
Potential Scholarship Returnees:
John Hood – 5th year Senior
Kyle Wiltjer – Junior
Alex Poythress – sophomore
Willie Cauley- Stein – Sophomore
Archie Goodwin – Sophomore
Jarrod Polson – former walk-on Senior
Ryan Harrow – Transfer Junior Transferring to Georgia St.
Possible, but not probable – Nerlins Noel – Sophomore
Already committed are seven players in the 2013 class which means we have a dilemma. If Wiggins commits, the dilemma becomes a problem if all the above players want to return. I don't think it is likely that all will want to return, but you can clearly see the potential problem if they do. We will have a Rick Pitino situation where we have
16 15 players, since Harrow's announcement, (with Wiggins) for 13 scholarships. Pitino had 18 players before he "managed" his roster. I'll let the readers decide the solution. [Editor's Note: This presumes a Noel return, which is unlikely]
On paper, this new class is the best since Michigan's Fab Five. If we get that coveted commitment from Andrew Wiggins, it will be the best class ever…on paper. We will have signed the #1 player at every position.
Best Case:
The new class will be comprised of players who hate to lose more than they want to win. They will accept Calipari's coaching and put aside the "I'm playing for me" concept and play for each other. If they can do that, then the sky is the limit. They are already the odds–on favorite to win a championship.
Worst Case:
The new class will come in with the same
sense of entitlement issues (family health, etc.) as the last class and Calipari will have to do everything in his power to get them to play together as a team. The end result will be another failed attempt to win a title.
None of us know for sure what we are getting and won't know until we see them play. Even in the worst case, I believe we will return to the NCAA Tournament. What we do there, though, is anyone's guess right now. The question is, then, will the 2013-2014 Cats meet our standards and lofty expectations?

|Cougars hold off Lancer rally
|Friday, January 04, 2013 1:57 PM
After trailing much of the second half, including a deficit as large as 10, Lincolnview clawed its way back in the contest late.
A layup from senior post Kaitlyn Brant tied the game at 43 with 55 seconds to play in the game. Then things got interesting.
On the ensuing Van Wert possession, the ball got knocked loose and several members of each team scuffled for the ball. Van Wert was awarded a timeout and the ball but Lady Lancer sophomore guard Julia Thatcher had a tooth knocked out and had to exit the game.
Van Wert's Erin Morrow was fouled with 10 seconds to play on the other end and hit both of her free throws to tie the game at 45. Shortly after the Lincolnview in-bounds play, sophomore guard Alexa Dunlap got a steal which resulted in sophomore forward Alexis Dowdy being fouled with 3.1 seconds to play. Dowdy made both free throws and the Lady Cougars held on the final three seconds for a 47-45 win.
Lincolnview took a 15-10 lead after a quarter of play, thanks to 7-of-14 shooting and five points from senior guard Claire Dye.
The difference in the game might have been the middle two quarters, where the Van Wert offense was good but the defense was better, holding Lincolnview to 1-of-10 shooting in the second quarter and 1-of-6 shooting in the third.
"The shots that we did get early in the game, we couldn't connect," said Lincolnview coach Dan Williamson.
Despite shooting 10 percent in the second quarter, the Lady Lancers held a 23-20 lead at the break. When the slump continued into the second half, however, Van Wert took their lead.
"We didn't play well in the first half and we were fortunate to have a 3-point lead going into halftime," explained Williamson. "They were killing us on the offensive boards. I think they ended up with 11. It's tough to win when you give up that many second chances."
Van Wert got 10 points from Dunlap alone in the third - to Lincolnview's six collectively - and ran its advantage to 34-24 in the stanza before their lead dwindled to 36-29 by the start of the fourth.
"She's probably been our most consistent player," described Moonshower of Dunlap, who had 15 points and three steals on the night. "Game-in, game-out, she's very solid. Tonight she really stepped up defensively - used her athleticism. She's probably the fastest girl on the court and really used that to her advantage."
The Lincolnview offense awakened in the fourth, shooting 5-of-9 from the field. Down 43-35 halfway through the fourth, Katie Dye hit a jump shot and converted a layup to shrink the Van Wert lead to four.
After two Brant layups, the game was tied at 43.
"We didn't change anything we were dong offensively (going into the fourth)," said Williamson. "We started attacking the basket a little bit more. ... Our defensive picked up as well, which is a key for us."
Unfortunately for the Lady Lancers, Van Wert went 3-of-6 in the final frame to escape with the win.
Despite the loss, the comeback wasn't lost on Williamson: "I've got to give our girls a lot of credit. Being down, we battled back and got the lead. We had a chance to get a shot at the end and they just made a nice defensive play. That's how it goes sometimes.
The stats, like the score, were relatively close. The Lady Lancers outshot the Cougars 37.5 percent (15-of-40) to 36 percent (16-of-45). The Lady Lancers went 13-of-16 from the line to 14-of-19 for Van Wert.
Van Wert, however, pulled down 30 rebounds to Lincolview's 16 - despite turning the ball over 20 times to Lincolnview's 18.
"We needed something to get our momentum going in the right direction and I think the last two wins show the girls that we can win, we can play basketball. We just need to go out there and do what we need to do," added Moonshower.
The Lady Lancers were led by Katie Dye, who notched 16 points. Julia Thatcher and Claire Dye each added 10.

These soft, chewy M&M Blonde Brownies are a fun snack any time of day. Try packing them into your kid's lunch boxes or snacking on them after school with a glass of milk.
Today I am slightly dragging a little. I have discovered that boys are much louder than girls. And by boys, I really mean grown men. Last night my hubby had game night at our house. Seriously I think 5 grown men huddled around a board game are much louder than any group of women for sure. Loud voices and laughing do not make going to sleep very easy.
Usually they set up the game in the basement, but last night it was upstairs in the dining room. Of course it was the room without carpet, so it just echoed through out the entire house. I did stay up for a bit doing some computer work in the office. All I heard was laughing and talking about which army was going to destroy the rest. I finally waved the white flag and went to bed even though they were still going strong on their game at midnight. Thank goodness the closed door blocked some of the sound. [Read more...]

To achieve lasting happiness and absolute peace, we must first know how to calm the mind, to focus, and eventually to transcend the mind. Learn about the nature of the mind and how to develop concentration and inner stability.
Swami Brahmananda
Arrival & Departure
It is recommended to spend at least a few days in the Yoga Retreat before the start of any course. This will allow your body and mind time to rest, re-energize and be nourished by the ashram environment. You can then begin your studies feeling relaxed and refreshed. You may also wish to stay for a few days after the completion of the course to allow the teachings you have received to integrate more fully into your consciousness within the supportive environment of the ashram. If your schedule does not allow an extended stay, course participants have found it useful to arrive at the Yoga Retreat at least one day before the start of the course and to leave at least one day after the graduation. If you decide to arrive early and stay longer, please register for the Yoga Vacation Program for those additional days. Please see Calendar of Events for guest programs offered around the time of your visit.

At the end of every election, some political operative will swear to me that he is getting out of the business—insisting this presidential campaign was his last, begging for some kind of intervention if, four years later, he is spotted being lured in by some candidate. And then, a few years later, we are all, inevitably, back in Des Moines in a blizzard.
Let one truth of the 2008 campaign be this: Just as the strategists who helped Barack Obama win—including David Plouffe, David Axelrod and Anita Dunn—were veterans of losing endeavors in previous cycles, so, too, will many of last year's strategists be back there again four or eight years from now, despite their protestations today.
What lessons will they bring with them? What have we learned from 2008? Here's a look at a few things this election cycle taught us.
1. Do your message testing in private
Over the course of 2008, Barack Obama seemed to have a single, enduring message: change. But, in fact, Obama shifted his central rationale for running for president over the course of two years, from opposing the war in Iraq to restoring the economy.
And even at the rhetorical level, his core message changed slightly between the primaries and the general election. It started out as "Change We Can Believe In"—designed to undercut Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's claim to be a change agent, and to subtly dig at her character with the suggestion she was insincere, another way of suggesting that she would say or do anything to win.
Once the primaries were over, Obama began to take his argument in a new direction. By the end of the summer, he had arrived at a similar but adjusted slogan, tailor made for Sen. John McCain: the "Change We Need." The old, blue banners were out, replaced by an entirely new set. That fresh, tweaked phrase was aimed at giving a sense of urgency to the candidate's case against McCain, according to Obama advisers. Yet it did not arrive out of nowhere. Before Obama shifted from one slogan to the next, his advisers tested it carefully, as they did other slogans and word choices. And once Obama made the move, he did not formally announce it, or switch back. The effect was a seemingly smooth, artful transition from one mode into another that went almost completely unremarked upon and left voters with a sense that Obama was consistent throughout.
Clinton and McCain took a different, arguably less advisable approach. Both candidates switched their messages abruptly during their campaigns, at the poster-board level and at the highest strategic plane. Clinton launched her campaign with a video message that promised a "conversation" with voters—one that did not materialize until the very end—and then morphed into a forceful message emphasizing her "strength and experience to lead."
Only late in 2007 did she begin to argue that she, like Obama, could bring about change—that, in fact, her experience would be necessary to make change happen. "If you're ready for change, she's ready to lead," a narrator said in one of her advertising spots that fall. But she had another, simultaneous message running: that she was from a "middle class family, in the middle of America," a relatively bland theme that undercut her other slogans. Added together, the sum of the Clinton slogans seemed to be less than their parts, diluting any sense of a central argument.
McCain went through a similar series of shifts, starting out, as Clinton did, with an emphasis on experience over change. But his evolution was more obvious and jarring, in ways big and small. Once an environmentalist, he came to embrace drilling. A populist for a while, he eventually eased into an anti-tax message with appeal across all economic sectors. And of course he undercut his experience mantra in picking Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, abruptly turning to "maverick" as his catch word.
Perhaps the most obviously problematic message shift for McCain came and went on a single day, June
3, 2008, when he declared himself "A Leader We Can Believe In," a speech delivered against a now-infamous green backdrop that gave him a sickly look. The whole message—color and content included—was abandoned within hours. A short time later, McCain had moved on to "Reform, Prosperity and Peace," a motto that lasted, and yet never really seemed to stick, perhaps because it had been clouded by so many rival themes.
The lesson? Better to test new messages in private—using focus groups and polling to shorten the list, and deliberating behind closed doors—than to %uFB02oat multiple trial balloons over the course of a campaign.
2. Try a little voter worship
Candidates often tell voters that the election is about the electorate, not the politicians. But Obama took it to an even higher level: praising voters for their willingness to move past old divisions in order to work, volunteer and vote for him. A vote for him, in essence, was a vote for progress.
This approach—which his canny pollster, Joel Benenson, described as the "voter as hero" model—allowed
Obama to portray the election as a referendum on America, not on himself. It was used in various ways, perhaps most importantly in the context of race. Although he was reluctant to dwell on the fact that he was running as the %uFB01rst African-American nominee of a major party, Obama countered questions about race by answering that America had evolved beyond its racial prejudices—a high form of political %uFB02attery.
When he was proven correct on Election Night, Obama declared to voters: "This is your victory."
"We were always conscious that a strong part of our message was, 'This isn't about me, it's about you,'" Benenson says. That strategy allowed Obama to de%uFB02ect questions, when they arose, about his personal background or even his religious beliefs; it fueled a grassroots movement that both %uFB01nanced and supported his candidacy; and it countered perceptions from earlier in the 2008 campaign that Obama had become a larger-than-life celebrity who was running on his remarkable biography alone rather than on his accomplishments, or in order to achieve speci%uFB01c goals.
By turning the mirror back on voters and away from himself, Obama defeated a rival with a biography as powerful as his own—evidence, his advisers believed, that the voter/hero model worked even more effectively for Obama than it had for Bill Clinton in 1992.
3. Watch how the money is spent
Campaigns love to dwell on the amount of money raised as evidence of a robust candidacy or a skilled management team. But more than ever, 2008 proved the adjunct maxim: It is how a campaign spends money that matters.
Clinton blew through $36 million in her virtually unopposed Senate reelection bid in 2006, funds that could have been used to carry her past Super Tuesday if she had handled them more carefully. And when she repeated the spending spree in 2008, requiring her to write millions in personal checks to her own campaign despite being a supposed fundraising behemoth, it offered a snapshot of one of her central problems: Her campaign was poorly managed, a re%uFB02ection of both a team of mismatched rivals as well as the manager who hired them.
The money decisions were so badly made that after the primaries were over, the residue of the Clinton campaign was stuck with a lease for its headquarters in Ballston, Va., that doesn't end until the spring of 2009. The campaign offered Obama a sub-lease for his transition—but as a measure of his thrift, he declined, saying it was too expensive. A small incident, perhaps, but one that offers a window into larger truths about the two campaigns.
Several strategists in both parties say there is a basic (though adjustable) formula for anyone seeking clues about how a campaign is conducting itself when it comes to spending. About 50 percent of all the money should be spent on activities that actually reach voters, such as television advertisements, radio spots and direct mail. Another 10 to 15 percent (what is traditionally known as the "burn rate") goes toward the costs of fundraising itself. And the remainder is spent on staff and consultant fees.
"The spending tells you if a campaign has its priorities right," says Russ Schriefer, who has advised scores of Republican candidates at the state and national level, including George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney. "Show me an FEC report, and I'll show you clues as to what a campaign's strategy is going to be, and how effectively it is run."
Other indicators include how much a candidate spends on overhead, such as rent, or on credit card late fees—never a good sign. In a different, but somewhat related, example, Obama used one instance of lavish spending to make a splash: he announced, weeks early, that he had bought a half-hour of primetime television real estate for the Wednesday before the election. The buy offered this storyline: Obama was con%uFB01dent enough about his prospects that he could spend millions on-air, adding an aura of growing inevitability at a time when millions of voters were already heading to the polls for early voting.
The upshot? Reporters and donors looking for clues to a candidate's effectiveness should keep one eye on the expenditure sheets to understand how the campaign is really going.
4. Get consultants on the road
If you called senior Obama adviser David Axelrod on his cell phone toward the end of the campaign, you heard a familiar tune as you were patched through: "Hit the Road Jack." It might as well have been a campaign credo. Rarely did Obama travel without having someone he trusted—most often Robert Gibbs, but many times Axelrod—on the campaign plane with him, and the rest of the senior staff didn't hesitate to travel to important events and places, like the debates and Iowa.
By contrast, Clinton rode alone, sometimes with no one more senior than Huma Abedin, her 30-something personal assistant. Sen. John McCain brought Mark Salter, his literary alter-ego, on the road sometimes—but at other times %uFB02ew without so much as a traveling press secretary. Traveling aides needing a decision would often have to call back to the headquarters in Virginia for a sign-off, a disconnect in time and space that sometimes wasted hours.
McCain's best days on the road were when he had senior strategist Steve Schmidt with him, and it was no surprise that when Palin went home to Alaska and conducted her %uFB01rst television interview, with ABC's Charlie Gibson, Schmidt and four other senior strategists were also on board. It was no accident that the interview was one of Palin's best performances, yielding almost no gaffes and answering, however brie%uFB02y, critics' charges that she could not survive an interrogation.
In another election cycle, this might seem like a minor point, but at one moment in particular, Obama's traveling brain trust made all the difference to him. At the height of the %uFB01 nancial meltdown, Obama mused late one night about calling McCain the following day to suggest the two of them team up in supporting a Wall Street bailout package. With Axelrod and Gibbs by his side, Obama was able to mull the idea over; when, at 8:30 a.m. the following day, he made the call, he had his closest aides with him, serving as a pipeline back to the campaign headquarters to keep other strategists informed.
The day unfolded disastrously for McCain, as he failed to return Obama's phone call for another six hours, and then when he did, declined to share the news that he was suspending his campaign. How Obama handled that moment—and how his advisers, both with him and back in Chicago, recounted the story—arguably tipped the election his way. It couldn't have happened so %uFB02uidly if he hadn't had such authoritative backup, both to keep him informed of outside events as he was making decisions and then, later, to tell reporters how it all went down.
5. Remember how silly the media can be
Twice in this election we witnessed a depressing but real phenomenon: Even the most virtuous, serious reporters will buy into a catchy plot once in awhile. That was certainly the case when the McCain campaign decided to accuse Obama of having compared Palin to a pig, otherwise known as the "lipstick on a pig" incident.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Jane Swift held a conference call; the blogosphere went wild; soon enough, the moment had invigorated an already rallied Republican base, prompting women to show up at Palin rallies wearing large plastic lips and carrying signs that read, "Read my lipstick." It was a successful distraction from the %uFB01nancial meltdown that was getting underway—and it appeared, however brie%uFB02y, to work.
On a much smaller scale, Obama managed to distract "the beast," as his campaign referred to the press, right before Election Day. With an ad, entitled "The Choice," that featured a clip of Palin winking toward the camera, the Obama team generated more than 24 hours of news about his decision to %uFB01nally take her on—without really taking her on, or even buying much new airtime for the ad. It did, however, keep his momentum going during a critical phase toward the end.
6. Don't dismiss the national polling
Okay, so they told us that Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani would be their respective party nominees, and offered nothing in the way of real predictive value about how the candidates would fare a year and a half before Election Day. Still, the national polls retained their place as a staple of the national election process—not because they accurately drove the storyline about the candidates, but because they captured the underlying trends.
Somewhere between the Florida debacle in 2000 and the latter part of 2008, we internalized the lesson that national polls were irrelevant, meaningless indicators of a national campaign that had no bearing on the Electoral College map. The Obama campaign in particular denounced national numbers, saying they were, as they had been in the primaries, measures of a broad, elusive mood that bore no relation to the actual mechanisms or people (such as proportionally divided delegates) who would pick the nominee and, later, the president.
But it turns out there actually were reasons to look at the national %uFB01gures, at least for anyone trying to gauge what was driving the top-line comparisons of the candidates. Underneath the horserace numbers, which were constantly close and in %uFB02ux, were a series of indicators about how the country was feeling (bad), attitudes toward Democrats and Republicans (more positive; less so), satisfaction with the trajectory of the country (low) and perhaps most importantly of all, which issues were atop voters' lists.
It was this %uFB01nal, issues-driven element that could have been spotted from afar: early in 2008, the Iraq war began taking a back seat to the economy, and by late in the year, the economy was some 40 points ahead of Iraq, a shift that rede%uFB01ned the race and both candidates' strategies.
More importantly, the national polls indicated more than a year beforehand that this was an election about change, not experience. That driving force wound up dominating the election, and wasn't something that could have been derived simply from looking at state-by-state measures of the horse race.
So for those strategists who bite the bullet and submit themselves to yet another campaign cycle—keep these all in mind. Some of the most important lessons of 2008 seem obvious in hind- sight. (Another that came along the month after the election—don't try to sell a Senate seat—is even more of a no-brainer).
The trick in 2009 and beyond will be for consultants to apply the maxims of the past without making the mistake of %uFB01ghting the last war.

In the 2010 draft, the Steelers liked Jonathan Dwyer enough to take him seven picks before Antonio Brown.
Brown, a sixth-rounder like Dwyer, has become one of the keys to the Steelers' offense, a formidable receiving threat opposite Mike Wallace. He's also a Pro Bowl kick returner.
Dwyer, a running back from Georgia Tech, has not had that sort of impact, but he is a player to watch entering the 2012 season. With starting RB Rashard Mendenhall coming off an ACL tear suffered on Jan. 1, Dwyer could vie for more playing time.
Playing time has been scarce for Dwyer, who has just 26 regular-season touches on offense for Pittsburgh. He played but one game in 2010, a season that was about "just learning about growing up," he said. He was just 21 when he received his first NFL carry, and he does not turn 23 until July. In 2011, Dwyer appeared in seven games, and in his most extended playing time of the season, he rushed for 107 yards on 11 carries in a victory against Tennessee.
Entering his third NFL campaign, "you want more," Dwyer said Thursday. "You want to be out (there) more and more and be one of the main guys that contributes on this team."
The 5-11, 229-pound Dwyer is coming off an injury of his own, a broken left foot suffered Dec. 4, but he's back running, and he's able to cut, he said Thursday. He expects to take part in the Steelers' organized team activities, which begin next week, though his level of participation remains to be seen. He still has some soreness but nothing serious, he said.
After OTAs conclude, Dwyer, whose weight has fluctuated at times in his collegiate and pro careers — will train at Bommarito Performance Systems in Florida. Ideally, he said, he would like to play at 225-230 pounds.
If Mendenhall isn't ready to begin the season, Dwyer would vie to be the top backup to Isaac Redman. Dwyer said that the rehabilitating Mendenhall is able to jog. "He looked good from what I could see," said Dwyer, who last saw Mendenhall around the team facilities "a couple days" ago.
Mendenhall has been dependable since entering the starting lineup in 2009, missing but one game in that span — the Steelers' win vs. Tennessee in October, Dwyer's breakout performance, which was highlighted by his 76-yard run down the Steelers' sideline.
"Hopefully, I want to be known for more than that," Dwyer said of that rush, which is tied for the seventh-longest from scrimmage in club history. "That's what this season is all about."

Police officers were punished for a deadly police chase in Cleveland earlier this week. One supervisor was fired, two more demoted and 9 facing suspension.
Mayor Frank Jackson reacted to the punishment Friday.
"You have two people who were shot 20-something times a piece and it's as if it never happened," Mayor Jackson said.
Jackson says that Malissa Williams and Timothy Russell were denied due process when they were killed in a hail of police bullets and by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine's report on the chase and shooting."The system failed the officers," DeWine said in a press conference in February.19 Action News report Harry Boomer asked the Mayor, "Mr. Mayor, it sounds as if you're saying that the Attorney General, and pardon this pun, jumped the gun in releasing the info and the conclusion to which he came."
"The Attorney General in doing what he did really damaged the credibility of the process and in doing that tainted the outcome, regardless of what the conclusion is," the Mayor responded.
"They told you they knew what the policies and procedures were. They told you that they made a choice not to abide by it and they told you the reason for that. Because they felt this code of blue or all hands on deck. The police chief said oh no that don't go and that's when they got a problem with the police chief," the Mayor added.Mayor Jackson is asking the public to be patient. Because there are still more than 100 officers who have to be looked at as to what they did and didn't do. He says he wants the public to be satisfied with the process even if they don't like the results.

Stewardship and Donor Rights
The Johnston Community College Foundation has had audits performed for each year of operation separate from the audits of the College. The College Foundation has experienced unqualified audits annually. The audits are shared with the independent College Foundation's Board of Directors, along with monthly and quarterly accounting and other fiscal reports which are properly acted upon.
The College Foundation takes its responsibility for stewardship of funds very seriously. We know it is extremely important to you, as someone who would invest your generosity in the College, that we be fully and completely accountable. The act of giving voluntarily underlies our stewardship responsibilities and standards.
We recognize the importance of discerning a direction for each person's philanthropy that honors and respects you, as the donor, and as appropriate, your family.
We have a solemn obligation. The obligation, stated simply, is to have the highest degree of accountability to those to whom we are responsible — the public and the citizens of Johnston County and of North Carolina — and to continue to merit your trust and confidence in us.
Our stewardship plays an important role in communicating to donors about the impact of their gifts to the College — and to people's lives. Where applicable, donors may also learn details on specific activities funded, such as students who received a scholarship due to their private support, or recent events and progress culminating from gift support.
At Johnston Community College, we see stewardship as the process by which we seek to be worthy of your continued philanthropic support.
Accordingly, our stewardship calls for:
- Timely and accurate acknowledgement and reporting of gifts
- Adherence to donor intent and desires
- Providing refunds at the discretion of the JCC Foundation
- Prudent management and investment of donations to maximize gift capacity
- Preparation of gift receipts for tax purposes
- Communication of the progression of earnings based on gifts
- Effective and efficient use of funds for operational and support purposes
- Reaffirmation of appreciation for all gifts received
Statement of Ethics
Staff, Board members, volunteers, and other individuals engaged in gift support programs and activities for the Johnston Community College Foundation are expected to maintain the highest standards of personal and professional ethics.
We strive to:
- Demonstrate sincere ethical behavior in the full performance of responsibilities, while engaging in the spirit of teamwork
- Exhibit the utmost respect for the College and the College Foundation, as well as respect for colleagues, students, alumni, and our public citizenry
- Participate actively in those resource development programs and activities that are in the best interest of donors and the College
- Avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest and compromise of integrity, whether in personal or professional life
- Monitor the retention and disposition of information regarding donors, use of gift funds, and other communications in a prudent manner
- Hold confidential all donor personal and financial information in accordance with administrative policy, federal, and state law, as well as sound donor relation practices
Donor Bill of Rights
We fully subscribe to the Donor Bill of Rights which is endorsed by the American Association of Fund-Raising Council, the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, and the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
Foundation Investment Policy
The College Foundation has established an Investment Policy that is reviewed annually and monitored by the Finance & Investment Committee.
The Investment Policy identifies the Goals and Objectives of the Foundation with regard to its financial assets and pertaining to asset management and donor-restricted assets.

This book is a collection of recipes from my great grandmother Mary Aikin, accompanied by my photographs taken of each recipe throughout the cooking process and of the finished product.
Through the process of creating this book three living generations of women in my family were brought together and we were reminded of the wonderful memories we had of my great grandparents, the Aikin's. It has provided us with a sense of honor and connection with our past and what was given to us from those who have gone before us. The integration of my great grandmothers recipe cards/dividers and old family photographs was an integral part of remembering our connection to them.
There are just under 40 recipes including bread, sides, main dishes, pies, cakes, and other desserts, for all to enjoy.

PEORIA, Ill. -- 'Tis the season to spread holiday joy. Sixty of Peoria's youth are touring the area doing just that.
Tuesday, the Elite Holiday Choir kicked off their annual tour with a performance at the Peoria Riverplex.
The group consists of students from all walks of life, unified in songs of praise.
"We're gonna give some hope. We're gonna tell kids, 'you don't just have to dribble a basketball, a throw a football, or hurl a baseball'," said Carl Cannon, ELITE founder. "You can use the gift of your voice and that might be, or you can use your toes to bring the gift of hope to our community."
You can share in Elite's message of hope this Saturday.
The Holiday Choir is a hosting a free concert at 6:30 p.m. at Saint Paul's Baptist Church.

Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said Thursday the House will consider a continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown once Congress returns from summer recess on September 8. The funding measure will probably expire in mid-November, Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK), a deputy majority whip, told TPM.
Once Congress returns from the August recess, it'll have a mere 10 working days to agree to a bill before the government partially shuts down. And there are two contentious issues in particular that are roped in with the CR debate.
The first is reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank, which supports billions of dollars in U.S. exports and thousands of American jobs through loan guarantees and other products. Its charter expires on Oct. 1, and many House conservatives, including incoming Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), are enthusiastic about shutting the bank down, bashing it as an emblem of corporate welfare and crony capitalism. Senate Democratic leaders recognize that and may force the issue by attaching renewal of the bank to their CR.
"Well, the thing we'd like to do is pass a long-term approval of the Export-Import Bank but we certainly don't want to let it expire. We're weighing all options," New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, the No. 3 Senate Democrat, told TPM when asked if leadership will attach Ex-Im to the CR.
Passing such a bill through the Senate shouldn't be a problem. Democrats broadly support Ex-Im renewal and a significant number of Senate Republicans do, too. "I think we do need to have an Export-Import Bank because we do need to be global competitively," Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) said. "We don't want to shoot ourselves in the foot."
The question, in that case, becomes whether House Republican leaders back down and accept such a bill. That would anger conservatives who are campaigning to shut the bank down and cost Republicans some support within their own ranks.
"I think it should be a clean CR," Rep. John Fleming (R-LA) told TPM. "I may end up opposing a CR if it has [Ex-Im] attached to it. Because I oppose the reauthorization."
The second issue is the battle over President Barack Obama's recently proposed rules on coal-fired power plants to combat climate change. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who faces a tough reelection fight in his coal-heavy state, has aggressively fought to attach his amendment blocking the rule to appropriations legislation — an idea Senate Republicansstrongly support — and has vowed to continue offering it on all government funding measures.
The problem is Senate Republicans would arguably feel most of the pain of a government shutdown in the Nov. 4 elections, jeopardizing their chance to win the majority. So it's unclear they'll push the issue. With Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) promising that the amendment won't fly in the Senate, McConnell faces a choice: filibuster government funding legislation or surrender his best opportunity to reverse the climate change rules.
McConnell will want to avoid doing anything that damages his odds of becoming majority leader in January. But his fighting words make it hard to back off.
"Everyone knows the administration's war on coal jobs is little more than an elitist crusade that threatens to undermine Kentucky's traditionally low utility rates, splinter our manufacturing base, and ship well-paying jobs overseas," McConnell said Thursday on the Senate floor, promising he'll "keep fighting" for his amendment.
Portman said he's hopeful that because both sides have agreed on how much the government should spend, "I think we can avoid a government shutdown."
Cole, a Boehner ally, also expressed hope Congress can avert a shutdown.
"I think so," the congressman told TPM, although he added that it's not a certainty. "Could you stumble into a bad situation? It's always possible. But I think people are working hard to avoid that sort of thing."

Sunday noon update:
Northern and western counties of the Heartland have already picked up about 2 to 6 inches of snow and sleet as of noon. However, rain continues over southern and eastern counties as cold air has been slow to push east into KY, TN, and the Bootheel. In addition, an unexpectedly large dry slot has developed over much of Southeast Missouri, limiting precipitation significantly. More snow bands are likely to move east into the region this afternoon, but it is looking likely that the heaviest snow totals (up to a foot) will be limited to mainly the very northern tier of Heartland counties, with much lighter accumulations central and south. However, north winds and plunging temperatures will still lead to slick and difficult travel as wet roadways freeze and snow begins to drift. In addition, falling temps and increasing wind speeds will create dangerous wind chills this afternoon into this evening. 12:00 p.m. Brian Alworth-----A strong winter storm will move through the Midwest today, with rain, snow and strong winds bringing potentially dangerous conditions to the Heartland. Here in the Heartland there will be a wide variety of conditions as very cold air sweeps in from the west. Northwestern counties in the KFVS viewing area could see upwards of a foot of wind-blown snow. Far southeastern counties will likely accumulate only an inch or two of snow after a morning of rain. Snow totals are only a small part of the big picture; gusty north winds and plunging temperatures will bring near-blizzard conditions to much of Southeast Missouri and Southern Illinois by late morning and early afternoon. That will make for difficult and dangerous travel. Morning temperatures in the 30's and 40's will fall into the teens and 20's by afternoon and winds gusting to 30 miles per hour or higher at times will reduce visibility and make for dangerous wind chills. Snow should taper off to flurries by tonight, but record cold temperatures will develop overnight and into Monday. Highs may struggle to reach zero degrees.

The San Antonio Spurs haven't lost since last year, but they'll have a challenge Thursday night.
The Spurs (26-8) will hit the road to play the New York Knicks (21-10) at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Spurs have won seven games in a row dating back to Dec. 21, while the Knicks have lost their last two games.
The Spurs have been charged by two of their veterans, guard Tony Parker and forward Tim Duncan. Parker is the team's leading scorer, averaging 19.4 points and 7.4 assists per game. Duncan is second on the team in scoring at 18.0 points per game and leads the team with 9.8 rebounds per game.
The Knicks will play their second game with Amare Stoudemire back in the lineup. Stoudemire debuted Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. In 16 minutes on the floor, he scored six points and had two turnovers.
New York's Carmelo Anthony is challenging for an MVP award this season. Anthony is averaging 29.2 points per game this season, which is the second-best mark in the NBA.
There are only two other teams in action Thursday night. The Denver Nuggets (18-15) host the Minnesota Timberwolves (14-14) at 9 p.m. ET.

SBC president proposes changing convention's name, will appoint committee

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--Southern Baptist Convention President Jack Graham has called for a new name for the denomination and will appoint a committee to study the idea.
Graham made his proposal during his president's address to the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee Feb. 16. He said he will appoint a committee in the coming weeks to report back to the 2005 Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in Nashville, Tenn. The committee will represent the SBC both "geographically and generationally," he said.
"I believe it is time for us once again to take some bold steps as Southern Baptists," Graham, pastor of the Dallas-area Prestonwood Baptist Church, said.
Graham said the name change would reflect the fact that Southern Baptists are a nationwide and worldwide body of believers.
"Why am I suggesting and recommending this name [change]?" he asked. "Why would we do this? Only one reason, and that is to strengthen and lengthen our witness here in America and around the world. Why would we do this? Because people are wounded, people don't know Jesus, and we are determined to do whatever it takes to connect with our culture and our country and the continents of the earth."
Changing the name of the Southern Baptist Convention is not a new idea. It has been studied several times -- the latest being in the late 1990s. In 1998 at the annual meeting in Salt Lake City, two messengers made motions -- one proposing the possibility of a name change and another proposing the name be changed to the "Baptist Convention of North America." Another motion was made in 1999 to consider the name "International Baptist Convention."
The Executive Committee studied the idea but recommended against the name change, and messengers at the 1999 annual meeting in Atlanta adopted the report. The Executive Committee report gave several reasons for keeping the current name. For instance, the report said, the name has become a brand name, similar to Western Union, Northwest Airlines and New York Life -- all of which have kept their respective names despite outgrowing their region.
In the mid-1970s legendary Texas pastor W.A. Criswell made a motion to study a name change, but a study committee recommended keeping the name. Criswell supported the name change, Graham said.
"It is my view that we need to stop meeting and just talking about this," Graham said. "We need to either put it to bed forever or get on with it."
Graham made his proposal while talking about a recent trip to New York City, where he met with SBC missionaries who are taking the Gospel to NYC as part of the North American Mission Board's Strategic Focus Cities initiative. Graham also mentioned that his church has begun partnering with a church in Boston.
The Southern Baptist Convention's name has "served us well," Graham said, noting that he is a southerner who was born and raised in Arkansas before moving to Texas. The denomination was formed as the Southern Baptist Convention in 1845.
"But the fact is that this name that I love and you love is a name which speaks of our region and doesn't move us beyond to the great cities of the Northeast, to the West, to the Midwest," he said. "And I believe once again it is time for us to look at the possibility of choosing something that reflects a name which reflects our future."
Southern Baptists have not been ones to shy from change, he added.
"Southern Baptist have always been willing to embrace important and significant change," he said. "We've seen amazing change in the Southern Baptist Convention since 1979. We have been willing to grow, to develop, to do whatever it takes to get better at fulfilling the Great Commission.
"... If a name change helps us do our job and connect with the culture and communicate the Gospel, then so be it. But let us do it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, whose name is above every name."

This part was not the exact replacement I had hoped for. The original filter came from the J&P oil filter relocation filter kit # ZZ74201 , the Baron filter had a nut as the filter end, which made it very easy to service. the new one is a flat smooth standard filter. Although it is not what I had expected , it still seems to fit just fine. I used this for my 2003 Yamaha 1100cc. V-Star

It's on the bike now, seems to be working... not leaking. Seems very similar to the stock HD chrome oil filter, possibly a hair bigger filter body... longer.... Seems decent.
96softail Posted:
Been using these for a while. Excellet for the money!
84harley84honda Posted:
I suppose this filter is as good as any other. On my particular bike though, the oil filter is tucked away up under the engine, and is not visible. So, next time I will opt for the lesser expensive black painted filter.
spikeclapper Posted:
Same filter as HD dealer for about the same price.
jcp66208 Posted:
Case so light that it was difficult to tighten enough to keep from leaking. Bought a rubber strap wrench to get tight enough to stop leak. Metal filter wrenches will not work with this product. Ok once tightened enough to stop leaks.

Dressing up a new V-Rod is no different than any other Harley-Davidson model. WE NEED CHROME! The dealer doesn't sell a chrome oil filter, can't understand why. Finding one through J&P was just the ticket I was looking for. The item came just as advertised, was put on the bike when I changed from regular to synthetic oil, and IT LOOKS GREAT. Thanks for being there J&P

Uniting to light up Artweeks
1:10pm Wednesday 16th May 2012 in Oxford
People from all walks of life in Summertown have been getting together to show off their artistic talent for Artweeks.
About 100 schoolchildren and residents helped create some stained-glass windows to decorate St Michael and All Angels Church in Lonsdale Road.
Sessions were held for children from The Cherwell School, Summer Fields School and St Edward's School, and a family day attracted people of all ages.
They created images on acetate with acrylic paint which were attached to three trellises.
It was the brainchild of Old Marston artist Naomi Goldsmith, 65, pictured, who was asked to come up with an idea by the Rev Gavin Knight, the vicar of St Michael and All Angels. She said: "It was fantastic to see the community come together.
"It didn't matter how good they are – everyone's work is up there and the whole is something really special."
