Ok, Ok: Clarett Totally Arrested And Stuff
Yes, kids, this happened:
After an illegal U-turn, Clarett led police on an OJ-like chase from one Columbus suburb to another and then back before the cops managed to spike-strip his car. Clarett was drunk, wearing a bullet-proof vest, and in possession of four loaded firearms and a hatchet. The DJL Zone was there!
This is part funny -- a superfluous hatchet is funny in any circumstance -- but mostly tired and sad. Clarett is clearly even more deranged than the average player who chooses Ohio State and in need of (helpful prescription) drugs or psychiatry or both.
Question: what in the hell is Clarett still doing in Columbus? The entire city hates him after his sordid journey and revelations to ESPN (good job following up on those bad boys, NCAA!). He'd be better off literally anywhere else. Two-second pop pyschology: Clarett desperately needs any kind of attention, even raw hatred, and Columbus is the place he's most likely to get it. Hopefully prison treats Clarett better than life -- it can't be any worse.
Side note: Watching "American Dragon: Jake Long" right now. Jake speaks in a weird kid-ified Snoop shizzle speak. He's currently fighting an infestation of wedding-ruining gremlins by dancing something called the "hubba-hubba hula." It's working! GO JAKE LONG. Now he's rapping. CEASE AND DESIST.

Not dead yet: Antonio Bass. Sam Webb -- a GBW writer I have no problems with, for the record -- has an article on the star-crossed wideout's status. Money graf:
"I'm having a basic knee test just to check my whole knee...to check out everything to see if everything is going right and if everything is going as good as it possibly can," Bass explained. "That's all it really is. It's like the whole knee procedure. It's like a checkup. I'm not concerned at all. I'll be back next year and I'll be back better than ever."
The "basic knee test" Bass refers to was the source of much consternation when Carr referred to it as a make-or-break examination that would determine Bass' fate. We won't really know if he's going to return to full health until he steps on the field next year but at this point it sounds like he'll be given the opportunity to do so.
Also not dead yet: Anthony Thomas. The former rookie of the year has found something of a home in Buffalo:
There's one running back on the [Bills] roster who I fully expect to eat into McGahee's workload. Former two-time 1,000-yard rusher Anthony Thomas had his best seasons in Chicago under Dick Jauron and appears set to become a factor on the field once again after two lost seasons. He looked quicker than I've seen him since his days with the Michigan Wolverines and hit the corner on sweeps with power and authority, even seeking out contact downfield.
... There's some speculation that Jauron will give his former No. 1 back a shot to become a goal-line vulture.
Rivals has re-ranked their 2007 basketball 150. Alex Legion moves down to #38 but Manny Harris moves up to #36. Kelvin Grady is still not listed, which is not a surprise.
I fail at the Internet. Diet Coke + Mentos == EXPLOSIONS!!! I am so, so out of touch: NPR beat me to this by months. Radio about exploding soda? What is this, 1925?
Etc.: Jim Carty on Kolodziej; Vijay digs up video from... 1903(!); Ohio State tight end Marcel Frost -- the projected starter -- has been suspended for the entire season. Reason given: "violating team rules."
Fantasy Camp Firsthand
The fantasy camp is a strange institution. Though the fantasies therein are always restricted to mere sport, they charge fees that imply otherwise. Grown men happily pay these fees. Why? Jon Chait explains below.
Make sure you pick up the next "Play" issue of the New York Times Magazine on October 29th for a full article on the experience
I attended the Michigan football fantasy camp last Thursday and Friday. The first thing to say is that it was an incredible experience. If you have the $2500 to blow, I strongly recommend that you do it next year. If you don't have the $2500, I urge you to start selling heroin to schoolchildren to raise the necessary funds.
The second thing to say is that the coaches deserve enormous credit. They volunteered their time teaching football skills to a pack of hopelessly over-the-hill super-fans. They took to the task with immense enthusiasm, and I think every one of us came away with a high opinion of them and the work they do. If I was a football coach, this is not the way I'd like to spend my last two days of vacation until Thanksgiving, but they all seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Let me first discuss the camp, and then after some takeaways.
Day 1
Around noon on Thursday buses picked us up at the Campus Inn and drove us to the football locker room. It's a pretty cool place. We all had nameplates on out lockers, Michigan shorts and t-shirts, and socks waiting at our lockers. There were refrigerators with bottles of water and Gatorade. After we changed into that and cleats/gym shoes we filed out to the buses and were driven to Schembechler Hall.
First Scott Draper, the Asst. AD for Football, told us expectations – feet on floor, eyes ahead, no hats, etc. Then Lloyd Carr came in and gave a presentation for an hour. It was basically the same spiel he gives the players for the first meeting of practice (last Sunday, I think.) One theme that emerged from it, and subsequent talks, is that the coaches obviously think their central challenge is keeping players who aren't playing happy. Their big fear is that bench guys bitch and poison the whole team morale. Over and over they hit on the need to not complain about PT, don't listen to players who are complaining, etc. Also the normal go to class, be on time stuff.
Then we had an hour long meeting with the offensive coaches, mostly DeBord. The meetings were leading up to a scrimmage the next day, and the program was to install two plays, a run and a play-action pass off the same run action. The offensive coaches were running through the diagram of the play and the description of every position's assignment. They moved really fast. It seemed most guys had some trouble keeping up.
Followed next an hour-long meeting with the defensive coaches where we put in one base defense. My main takeaway here: Ron English is awesome. When it comes to UM coaches there's English and there's everybody else. He has this Bo-like charisma and command. I was blown away by the guy.
Then we went outside for nearly two hours of position drills. We broke into 8 groups and rotated through, spending about 15 minutes with every position coach learning basic techniques. We had everything except tight end. Main takeaway here – I never realized before how every minute aspect of what the player does – stance, first step, second step – is choreographed.
After that, bused back to hotel for shower, rest and then cocktail hour and dinner. The coaches were there and we got to schmooze them. Eric Campbell sat at my table. Bo was the keynote speaker. Some of his material was familiar but most of the campers hadn't heard it. Heck, Bo's delivery is good enough that familiar material isn't boring.
Day 2
Next morning, bus to locker room to change (where clean stuff was waiting), bus to Schembechler for meetings. We reviewed the offensive and defensive plays, and the coaches showed us film of the players in spring practice running those plays. One run had Grady busting a long run, one pass had Breaston scoring on a deep post pattern. Breaston also had a knockout block. The coaches went over what every player did and showed you the way it's supposed to work, or what reads the defensive player should make. This was really cool stuff.
[Note: the victim of many offensive highlights was Charles Stewart. I jokingly asked Ron Lee about that later, and he said it was the first week of practice, and Stewart got much better after.]
Then the highlight (for me) of the whole time: 11 on 11 scrimmage. Bad thing is, it was just an hour. For the first half hour I was playing defense with everybody else who was in groups 5-8. The first 15 minutes of that was a scrimmage, where we ran through assignments against a scout team. It was still 11-on-11 and it was fun. After 15 minutes, we ran over to the offensive side to go against the offensive guys in a semi-live scrimmage. (There were no helmets or pads, so it was wrap rather than hit, but a few guys went down. It felt like football to me, but without the collisions.)
There were lots of guys, so we broke up into three units, chosen at random. I was the second unit in. We were jumping up and down on the sidelines cheering the defense, and telling each other that when we got in we wouldn't give up a yard. I don't think we did. I played strong-side defensive end. (I wanted to play safety because of English, but everybody seemed to have the same idea and we were six-deep there with volunteers. So I moved to d-line, which had barely enough for one unit, thinking I'd get more reps. But then they moved a bunch of guys from safety and it evened out.) I had three scrimmage plays. The first two were runs, and instead of holding my gap I was incredibly eager to make a tackle so I over-penetrated, opening up a seam. Fortunately my teammates bailed me out. Third play was a pass, and I blew past the tackle, blew past the fullback, and got to the QB just as he rushed off a pass.
Next was offense. Again, first we practiced, this time in separate units, then 15 minutes of scrimmage. This time they let people play wherever. I played o-line because we had only 8 guys there, as opposed to four deep or more at receiver, QB, etc. So I got to play nearly every down. It was a blast. One play we opened up a huge hole on a run. After the play, Andy Moeller looks at me and says, "where you on the right side on that play?" I say yes. "Nice job," he says. I should note that I have by this point become pathetically eager for their approval.
Last offensive play, and the coaches are making a big deal out of which side wins. DeBord comes into the huddle. He says we'll do the normal run, except the flanker will come around for a reverse around left end. As the right guard, I make an impromptu decision to pull around left end and lead the play. It works (I sealed off the rush end) and they were super-surprised. We got like thirty yards, and we thought it was a TD but later discovered the flanker was shoved out of bounds. Classic DeBord Ball: run the same thing hundreds of times in a row, then break tendency once for a huge play.
After that, bus to the locker room, shower and change, walk to Champions Center for lunch. More schmoozing. They had wide screen TVs lining the walls, alternating between the MSU game and the PSU game. Loeffler was at my table and gave the inside account of what went down on the last PSU drive. (When Henne threw short on the second-to-last play, he said, "I could have killed him.") Carr was 5 feet away from me, and we bantered a bit about the two seconds he got back. There was a pretty good talk/slide show on Fielding Yost by an author who wrote a book on the Big House.<
br />
Bus to Schembechler for a film breakdown of the scrimmage. This was great. The whole conceit of the camp was being treated like players, and DeBord was ridiculing bad plays to much laughter. When an old guy limped out on a pass route he said "we need more speed at that wide receiver position." But it really did look like football for the most part. We sat in position groups, me with Stripling and then Moeller, and they critiqued every play we ran. Good coaching tips. Strip criticized my over-penetration on the runs. When my near sack came up, English yells out, "Who's the end?" I raise my hand. "Nice job, end," he says. Stripling says my over-penetration finally pays off. I tell him I'm a third-down defensive end, and he laughs.
Then Carr talks again and gives a Q and A session (whole thing was an hour). Then we bus to stadium, put on jerseys with out names, and run out the tunnel while being announced. Some friends and family were there. Pretty cheesy, I thought. There was a passing competition where you try to hit dummies from 10, 20, and 30 yards, and the winner got an autographed helmet. My brother and I straggle for a while, throwing passes on the field, and when we walk of Carr is there, and the two of us start chatting as we go through the tunnel. Then after like 30 seconds I hear behind me a woman calling "Chait? Chait?" I turn around and it's a woman saying she knows my dad and am I related. My brother, who was following behind me, has my back and goes over to take this one, but by then Carr was talking to somebody else. Thanks for rescuing me from that conversation with Lloyd Carr, lady.
Now, some thoughts on the coaches. First, of course, is Lloyd Carr. Carr was incredibly generous with his time. He gave a couple hour-long presentations, lots of us got to chat him up multiple times, and he was on the field throughout practice. He is on the whole a very good coach, and the thing he's great at is the most important thing to be good at: he knows how to recruit good players and mold them into a team. The camp gave a very good insight into the ethos of Michigan football, the way Carr emphasizes going to class, playing as a team, not taunting the opponent, never celebrating by yourself, and so on. Carr recruits great players because he has integrity and it comes across.
Of course, Carr also has a maddening tendency to sit on leads, and that came across as well. The common theme of Carr's presentation was fear, fear of turnovers, penalties, and mistakes. He has the mentality of a old man who lived through the Depression. When Ron English talks, the meta-theme is: if you do what I tell you and follow the correct techniques, we will dominate the opposition, and they cannot score. When Carr talks, he just conveys terror of things going wrong.
Carr is *explicit* about the offense and defense playing two different ways. When the offense is behind, we have to score. When the offense is ahead, we must protect the ball. When the defense is ahead, we must protect the lead, and when we're behind it must get the ball back. If there was any question that he has a fundamentally different mentality when we're behind and ahead, it was utterly dispelled.
Carr and other offensive coaches made it clear: When we have a small lead late in the fourth quarter, we are going to run the ball. We are going to do this even if the defense is in a ten man front. Most of the time we don't want to run against an overloaded defense, but at the end of the game strategy is out the window and it's a matter of willpower.
Now, does this mean we're doomed? I say no. Our running game had several interrelated problems. First, we ran in predictable situations, like the end of a game with the lead. Second, our formations tipped off when we would run and where, so the safeties charging the line knew exactly where to go to fill the hole. This has been the problem for ten years. It's just too hard to make the unblocked man miss when he know where you're going before the snap.
The reason I'm optimistic is that we're changing our offensive schemes. I can't say how because the coaches want to keep this secret. But it's an important change that I believe will make us better at running, and better at integrating the pass and run game. I say this as a fan who's grown exasperated with years of poorly-designed offenses. In years past we've seen, at best, tiny improvements invariably followed by slow regression. This year I think we're going to have real reform.
Now, some other coaching outtakes. Steve Szabo inspires confidence. He's a former Navy guy, and has a tough, laconic manner, kind of like Clint Eastwood, and an NFL background. (I have heard secondhand that he may not care for Charlie the Weis.) The linebacker style will be more aggressive. Here's one example: During linebacker drills, at one point we lined up across from a pair of backs and were told simply to flow to the ball – go whichever way the backs go. My first time, I tried to do the classic Michigan linebacker thing. I shuffled parallel to the line, kept leverage on the ballcarriers, and closed in as they approached the line. Szabo did not like that. He wanted me to be more aggressive. Indeed, he was telling everybody to be more aggressive. So, next time up, as soon as the tailback took a step I made a beeline for him like he had just done something horrible to my family. Szabo liked that a lot. I think if I had snuck into the tailbacks room the night before and hit him while he slept he would have liked it even more. The linebacker style of play is going to be very different, and I'm basing this on more than just that one experience.
Some other impressions: Ron Lee is gregarious and funny. Andy Moeller may be the least awe-inspiring of the coaches (my brother called him "the coach most likely to be mistaken for a camper") but he's a good teacher and extremely likeable. No wonder he's such a good recruiter – he projects integrity. DeBord is loud, enthusiastic, and pretty funny. Steve Stripling is low-key and a good technician. Ron English is a God among men.
Thanks to Jon for the fascinating look at the program. If the defense performs well over the next couple years, it sounds like English is going to be a serious candidate for head coaching jobs all over the place... including Michigan.
Let's Play Google Zeitgeist
The House Rock Built thinks Jeff Carroll's set a swell example with his rad use of Google searches as proof of anything an everything and I concur. Finally we have a tool with which we can settle age old debates. I say let's get to settlin' things.
Jimmy Clausen most strongly resembles what flightless animal?
(all searches are jimmy.clausen ANIMAL)
Charlie Weis most strongly resembles what flightless animal?
What is the first name of Michigan's coach?
That's right, kids: Google predicts Michigan to go 12-1.
(If you input five Ls, Google helpfully asks if you might have made an error:
Also, the Google record for most Ls in "Lloyd" goes to an enterprising young fellow who didn't stop until #14 in a post on the recently canned pirate referee. Either he's from a dystopian future where LL Cool J forces colleges to play two more regular season games on motorcycles or he's projecting an NFL job for Carr in the near future. Yeah, "dystopian future" it is.)
Weis Consumes Jeff Carroll's Soul
...adds further to his mind-shattering girth.
I loathe to side with NDNation on any topic large or small, but when the opposition is provided by SportsJournalists.com -- the only board on the Internet that can give the Nationites a run for their money when it comes to ludicrous arrogance better placed in 1955 -- the pill goes down a little easier. The situation: Jeff Carroll of the South Bend Tribune writes a four-article series questioning the hoopla surrounding Jimmy Clausen. It largely exists to fill space in supposedly controversial fashion, tackling the proverbial tough questions facing the Irish program. Are they selling out for victories? Is Weis playing by the rules? How good can Jimmah be if he thinks that haircut is an intelligent decision? All you need to know about the articles is encapsulated in the following lines:
A Google search for the phrases "Notre Dame" and "Just like everyone else" finds 11,700 matches.
Another search, for "tarnished dome," returns 5,310 matches.
("Jeff Carroll" and "lazy" = 83 hits.) The same level of hard-hitting(!), solid evidence persists throughout. There are vague quotes linked by paragraphs that hint at potential troubles followed by more vague quotes. The only thing of interest in the entire series is a surprisingly liberated quote from incoming freshman Paddy Mullen (yes, his real name):
"He's cocky," Mullen said. "He's a typical quarterback. We'll see what happens when he's at Notre Dame and getting knocked around a little bit. We'll see when he has a defensive tackle tackling the crap out of him.
"I committed to Notre Dame. I told as many people as I could, people who called. But I don't have a PR firm putting my name out there. ... This guy better be unbelievable."
When the articles are published, NDNation and assorted party organs explode with hilarious outrage. Several posters urge the moderators to place the South Bend Tribune on their Nixonian enemies list and prohibit any and all outgoing links to those damn pinkos. Eventually the spittle ceases flecking Internets rubberneckers and the whole thing blows over... until yesterday, when Carroll is informed that he is on Weis's enemies list and can no longer be suffered to ask questions of the high holy one:
It didn't take Charlie long to flex some muscle. Former Times Sports Writer Jeff Carroll, now working for the Irish Sports Report, was informed by school officials that he could not ask questions of Weis, his staff or players during the three-hour session. It seems Weis and senior associate athletics director John Heisler weren't happy with some of Carroll's reporting endeavors.
Here's an idea: Have someone ask the questions for you.
Personally, I think the intention was to embarrass Carroll, publicly.
The Mullen quote -- obtained outside of approved channels -- is the pretext given. Cue second round of hilarious outrage from SportsJournalists.com. This has been great fun all around for yours truly, who loves seeing both Notre Dame fans and journalists tweaked.
To play Mills Lane for a moment: I side with Weis. The series by Carroll was indeed a hack job that attempted to spin Pulitzer gold out of not even hay but air. Clausen's a big recruit with a lot of pub. He committed to Notre Dame. End of story. There's no reason ND should be expected to put up with a reporter who has clearly attempted to damage the school for personal benefit. Jeff Carroll is not granted inalienable rights to ask questions of the high holy one and his actions -- no one else's -- got those privileges removed. There's a fine line here: a reporter with an actual story and actual, you know, evidence of malfeasance is duty-bound to report his findings. Giving such a reporter a similarly cold shoulder is poor form at best and more likely rampant megalomania. Carroll doesn't fall into that category. He wrote the stories because he wanted attention, silly things like evidence be damned. The articles had the air of careful phrasing to avoid libel suits and nothing approaching justification; the sympathy meter reads zero.
I've often wondered why Drew Sharp doesn't get the same treatment from the Michigan program. Even though he's a columnist and therefore not beholden to said facts, his relentless negativity is a drag on both Detroit-area fans and the teams they support. Lloyd Carr hates the guy -- and can you find someone who doesn't? Personally, if I was AD I would ban all Free Press reporters from press conferences and give the News unprecedented access until Sharp was sent packing. But I have been told I'm somewhat combative.
(HT: HP. Eek.)
Now Try It Without The Blindfold
This Youtube video would be quintessential Braylon with one small addition:
The addition would be a bonus twenty seconds wherein Braylon removes the blindfold, tells a six-year-old kid with lukemia to throw him a slant, and drops it.
I keeed, I keeed. We love you anyway, Moonbeam.
(Also: how is this the only result for "Braylon MSU" on Youtube? Hasn't someone stitched together the four catches from the end of the '04 MSU game and set it to the world's worst emo? Can we get on this? I would watch that in a loop if it was a TV show. Could I be more like Bill Simmons right now? Billy Zabka! Ian Ziering! Humiliating self at WSOP!)

ACT has provided an excellent and conscientious service for Quantum Clean. ACT was functional in our transition and carried out a significant job keeping the facility in compliance with regulatory agencies. Juliana is reliable, honest and quick to respond to our needs. She carefully reviews and recommends alternative resources with competitive pricing. Overall, I have full confidence in ACT.
Our Account Manager, Juliana Cayetano, You and ACT in general have been outstanding in responsiveness to pick-ups and deliveries, including the delivery of preprinted HW labels. ACT meets our time schedules, including our sometimes short notice requests, with the utmost professionalism. Juliana's help with year-end reports and other data requests are timely and thorough. We have a good working relationship that I believe will continue well into the future. On a personal note: ACT has made my transition into EHS at HM a much smoother one. Thank you.
Based on my experience, I strongly recommend ACT to providing environmental related services to other companies like Flextronics. If you have questions regarding this recommendation, please contact me at your convenience.
Our company uses ACT for to provide haul away environmental wastes and I'd recommend their service anytime. Adam Brandin is our company's Regional Account Representative who is very responsive. Their pricing is competitive and they do not nickel and dime you for each service that they provide. Other environmental professionals who use them also noted their customer services.
So for small or medium company, use them, they provide competitive pricing and very GOOD customer services. For large company which I used to work for, ACT also provided onsite turn-key services as well as hazwaste hauling. Yes, if you use Clean Harbor, it may be cheaper. But the customer service cannot be beat.
I put pricey because hazwaste services are always pricey and similar in charge. The difference is the customer service, compliance history, and their intellectual resources.
ACT has an exceptional customer service, they are always very responsive and aim to meet the challenges that the company face as far as the onsite hazardous waste management goes. Their onsite service is also fantastic; their onsite service technicians are well trained and very knowledgeable.
I am really pleased with our decision to transfer waste service to ACT. The account manager was helpful and attentive with service set-up and the technician was informative, making the process so easy.
ACT has provided great service for the Authority. You provide reliable service along with competitive pricing and you have done a great job at keeping us in compliance with the regulatory agencies.
I wanted to take a few minutes and thank you and your company for participating in the DEA Prescription Take Back Event on 4/28. The event was very successful in both the quantity of prescription medications and medical sharps collected as well as positive community feedback…Citizens were grateful for the alternate drop off location and they were extremely happy to see we had sharps collection. I just wanted to take the time and thank you again. Your willingness to partner with the UC Merced Police Department during this event reflects positively on you and your company's commitment to public service and to the citizens of Merced County. I look forward to working with you again on future events.

Colin Narbeth, IBNS Life Member No. 1, was the founder of the IBNS in 1961. More than 50 years ago, Colin was one of the few enthusiasts scattered around the globe who were devoted to the collection of world paper money.
Colin began collecting banknotes (and many other things as well) as a schoolboy in the 1940s. During seven years in the Royal Navy he added a few pieces to his collection from his ports of call. After he left the navy, he became a newspaper reporter and began collecting paper money seriously, buying from the infrequent paper money offerings from the likes of Spink Limited and B.A. Seaby Limited in Britain and Jolie Coins in US. He was also busy writing to anyone whose name came to his attention as sharing a similar interest in paper money. In this way he became friends with other banknote pioneers like Dr. Walter Loeb, Dr. Arnold Keller (who proofread and corrected Narbeth's first book on banknotes), and often swapped notes with them. He helped launch "Stamp Weekly" and then moved to become a director of Stanley Gibbons International, where he started Stanley Gibbons Currency Limited, the first major British business dealing in paper money. He later left Gibbons to start his own banknote business, Colin Narbeth and Son Limited, which continues as a family business today. Colin has written numerous articles and some 20 books on a range of collecting subjects. In July 1961, Colin produced the first IBNS Journal on a hand-operated Gestetner printer, mailing it out to around 20 people. In addition to the IBNS, Colin is a Fellow of the Linnean Society and the Royal Philatelic Society, London.

WAKE FOREST, N.C. (BP)--Two Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary professors, David Nelson and Bruce Ashford, have received one of four $5,000 awards from Yale Divinity School for a course they designed to help pastors equip families to live wisely in Gods world.
The course, Being Christian Family: Living Gods Word in Gods World, was designed by Nelson and Ashford to help pastors to think carefully about the relationship of the Bible and the formation of a Christian way of life, as Nelson put it, and then to focus specifically on training parents to foster spiritual formation and cultural engagement in their children. Nelson is senior associate dean and associate professor of theology at Southeasterns Wake Forest, N.C., campus.
The Yale competition, held as part of the divinity schools Faith as a Way of Life project, seeks to promote theological education that focuses future pastors and lay leaders on the task of how to live the faith holistically and how to mediate faith as a way of life to persons, communities and cultures, according to Christian Scharen, associate director at the Yale Center for Faith and Culture.
Professors from numerous Christian denominations and regions across the nation participated in the competition by submitting proposed courses that will be developed and offered at their respective theological institutions over the next few years.
Ashford, an assistant professor of philosophy and history of ideas, said he believes the course will be profitable for students training for pastoral ministry because it shows how theology is put to work practically.
Southern Baptists and other theological conservatives admirably have insisted upon doctrinal integrity, Ashford said, but often they have not made the connection between doctrinal orthodoxy and faithful living. Faithful living includes, among other things, thoughtful Christian interaction with contemporary culture. Southern Baptists should seek to glorify God in various spheres of culture such as the arts, the sciences, politics and economics. Our goal is to rivet together theory and practice, theology and life. Hopefully, this course will help future pastors to equip their congregations to do so.
Nelson said the development of the course is the result of several years of study and discussion by Ashford and himself on the topic.
Dr. Ashford and I have spent a good bit of time talking about these issues the past few years, Nelson said, since we have both been engaged in ministries in which we interact with families on these very issues. For us, this kind of course is a natural outgrowth of our conviction that doctrine and life ought always to be held together. We hope to help pastors help families to see this vividly.
Nelson and Ashford worked on the course proposal off and on for a period of four months before attending a competition-related workshop at Yale University in New Haven, Conn., last September. They were notified in November that their entry had been selected to receive the award.
Southeastern President Daniel Akin praised Nelson and Ashford and said they serve as fitting representatives of Southeastern Seminary.
David Nelson and Bruce Ashford exhibit the best in terms of evangelical conviction and academic excellence, Akin said. These two men embody the kind of faculty that Southeastern Seminary is building, and they are more than deserving of this award from the Yale Divinity School.
The course will debut at Southeastern next summer. It will also be taught in the fall.

Shocking: Maria Shriver's Daughter Excited Over Jon Stewart-Stephen Colbert Rally
The pile of liberal guests (and guest hosts) on ABC's The View Tuesday led to breathless admiration and excitement all around. Washington Post TV writer Lisa de Moraes noticed that guest host Maria Shriver cooed to comedian Stephen Colbert about the liberal Rally to Restore Sanity And/Or Fear on October 30: "My daughter [Christina Schwarzenegger] goes to Georgetown and she's so excited to come to the rally. What should she expect?"
This must thrill liberal hearts, who want something (anything) that fires up liberal young people.
Barbara Walters was feeling warm and fuzzy introducing her good friend Arianna Huffington: "Full disclosure. This is a day when I have two -- with Maria and Arianna, when I have two women I have known forever. We have known each other for 30 years. [Referring to Huffington, and clutching her hand,] I am the godmother to her eldest child. So I'm slightly prejudiced." She waved around the cover of the new Forbes magazine Power Women issue, with Huffington on the cover.
Colbert, that "potent evangelist" for Catholics, was asked about teaching "Sunday school" (which isn't really Catholic terminology), and he joked about teaching about a "loosey-goosey Jesus."
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: You were also a Sunday school teacher, someone told me?
COLBERT: I have been a Sunday school teacher for three years. Not this year. But last year I was. I do it every year that one of my kids has first holy communion. So I want to be their catechist. It's the special year, and I want to do the special thing. And I'm married to a Presbyterian, not a Catholic. So my wife wanted to know what are they going to teach them in sunday school. I said I'll go teach em and I'll tell you.
SHERRI SHEPHERD: What do you say?
COLBERT: A very loosey-goosey kind of Jesus. Jesus just says go for it. No, no…I teach, I have the little books. I go every week.
MARIA SHRIVER: I have kids in Sunday school, and I always wonder what did they actually learn?
COLBERT: Uh, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Obviously, don't chew the Eucharist. It makes the angels cry. The big things. You know, the major -- Don't steal from the collection plate. Absolutely.
GOLDBERG: Don't drink the wine.
COLBERT: No you get to sip the wine.
GOLDBERG: You get to sip the wine now?
COLBERT: Even the 8-year-olds get to have a sip of wine.
GOLDBERG: Get out of here!
COLBERT: Hammered!
GOLDBERG: I went to catholic school, they were like, you cannot do it.
COLBERT: We party, man. We party every Sunday.
Liberals somehow find this vision of getting eight-year-olds hammered on wine at communion time is a moment of "potent evangelism."

MARIA SHRIVER: I have kids in
Submitted by motherbelt on Thu, 10/21/2010 - 8:18am.MARIA SHRIVER: I have kids in Sunday school, and I always wonder what did they actually learn?
this is a woman who does interviews for a living? Asking people questions??? Gosh, Maria, did it ever occur to you to ASK your kids what they learned, when you pick them up from Sunday School???? Also, they have a book, you know. The teacher is not just winging it. Did it ever occur to you to look at the book???? At least Colbert gets involved when his own kids are preparing for First Communion. That's apparently more than Shriver has done. Colbert's an idiot who thinks that joking about partying with the Eucharistic wine is hilarious. That's par for the course from him. And it's the kind of "evangelism" that liberals can accept. However, Stephen, they don't teach "Don't chew the Eucharist." Chewing it is perfectly fine. Why don't you know that????

Take Cover: Method Man/Ghostface Killah/Raekwon: Wu-Massacre
By Tom Breihan on April 12, 2010 at 1:00 a.m. EDT
Notable album covers catch the eye, dribble it around a little, and then snap it back into place, forever skewed. They can be funny, gross, shocking, stunning, or just plain wrong. They can define artists. With Take Cover, we aim to track down the most striking new album covers taking up web space and vinyl bins and get the story behind them.
In this installment, we check in with comic book artist Chris Bachalo (Sandman, Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man) and Def Jam designer Alex Haldi. Bachalo and Haldi are the two men responsible for the comic book-style artwork for the Method Man/Ghostface Killah/Raekwon collaborative album Wu-Massacre. The album cover is comprised of pieces of three variant covers, one for each rapper. Bachalo and Haldi imagined the three Wu-Tang Clan members as hyper-violent comic book anti-heroes, each with his own backstory and superpowers. We dork out with Bachalo and Haldi below.
Method Man variant cover:
Pitchfork: How did the two of you get involved in this album cover?
Chris Bachalo: You want the truth? Alex took my dog, and sent me an email: "Chris, I have your dog, and you have to do these Wu-Tang covers or you'll never see the dog again." What else was I going to do? He said, "You have six days to do the covers." And what'd it take, Alex? Was it 60 days later?
Alex Haldi: Luckily, the timeline pushed back. It was a resilient dog. [laughs]
CB: No, Alex sent me an email one day and asked me if I would be interested in doing the covers. He said I had six days. And so I thought about it for a few minutes because it is the Wu-Tang Clan; that's pretty serious. And he said, "Here's some money," and I said, "OK." We ran with it, and thank goodness we were able to have extra time to take care of the covers and do a proper job on them. I'm not sure what Alex would've received from me after six days. That's a lot of work.
AH: Yeah, it ended up working out really well. It's one of those projects that's typical in the music industry; they act like we need everything that week, and then the album comes out half a year later. We definitely wanted to go the comic book route, and I've always been a comic book fan. Chris is one of my favorite illustrators from when I was coming up, so I reached out to him. He was a little hard to track down, but I got a hold of him and luckily he accepted. It was really nice to get Chris on board. My whole thing was if we're going to do it, I wanted to do it right, like a real comic book. I didn't want to do it half-assed and just get an illustrator to do it comic book-style. I wanted to get someone who was known in the industry and really make it an event. And we lucked out. Everyone's loving them.
CB: I'm glad Alex has good taste.
Pitchfork: Whose decision was it to do the cover comic book-style?
AH: They originally just came to me and said they wanted portraits. Simply for the fact that it's hard to get the three of them in the same place at the same time, we were going to go the illustration route in general instead of doing a photoshoot. All of the Wu-Tang personas are based on comic books, and I know that Method Man is a huge comic book fan, so I just thought it made perfect sense. Chris has created some pretty sweet characters, and a lot of the guys who create characters are few and far between, so I knew that he could come with some original characters.
Pitchfork: Can you describe the way you turned the rappers into characters? Did you come up with powers and backstories for them?
CB: Yeah. The first thing Alex shared with me was a huge, huge bunch of information for the guys, including how they dress and names for the characters. He sent me a bunch of photographs, and he gave me a really good profile of each one of the characters and what they should look like. That helped a lot because it gave me a lot of information within which to conceptualize the characters. I sat down with it for a couple weeks and thought about it, and the first thing I did was start putting together ideas as to what I thought the guys would like. If I were these guys, what would I like to see?
AH: Yeah, it's pretty incredible. We just did these cards, and it's pretty remarkable how tight they are to my original ideas. I'm a huge Wu-Tang guy. Raekwon's the Chef, and he's also into the mafia stuff, so it kind of made sense to make him a "Dexter"-style mafia assassin.
CB: As an illustrator, it's fantastic to get that kind of information. It really helps in putting together a clear picture of what the characters are going to look like. So coming up with the images was, all in all, pretty easy and it was fun. And I think the results were really good.
AH: Mostly, we can thank the guys because they're all such characters, so that really helps to get something out of them.
Pitchfork: With Meth, you've got him shooting some kind of energy blast out of his hand.
AH: Method Man's moniker is Johnny Blaze, and his thing is smoking, so I figured it just made sense to make him a Human Torch/Ghost Rider kind of character with fire, and have him with a blunt in his mouth.
Ghostface variant cover:
Pitchfork: It was cool to see Ghostface in a mask again. It's been a long time.
CB: The mask was such a great object to work with as a base to create the rest of the character. We went back and forth with different versions of his character, with the mask and without the mask. I love the mask, and everything I was drawing had the mask on it. Alex would come back to me and ask if he could have a couple of versions without the mask. So I just kept drawing them the mask version, and apparently they liked it and decided to go with that.
AH: When you're the liaison for the label, you always have to worry about if egos are going to come into play, so I wanted to have options where you could see his face, in case they freaked out. And it's cool. I had heard that Ghost, back in the day, was a brawler-type dude anyway, so it just made sense to make him huge.
CB: He's a bigger-than-life mountain-of-a-man character, so I was drawing him as big and burly as possible. Almost like a... not a Hulk character, but slightly less than that.
Pitchfork: A Sasquatch type of character?
CB: Yeah, without the hair. [laughs]
AH: My main reference was Colossus.
CB: Like a Shaq O'Neal or somebody like that, with a big mask and robes and chains.
AH: He had just come out with that R&B album, so it made sense to have him with chained-up women and kind of go there. We definitely wanted to go over-the-top with that.
CB: The more chains, the better. And all the money and the gold-- it was just great. Super props to work with.
Raekwon variant cover:
Pitchfork: What about Rae? Was there a comic book character that you used as the basis for his character?
AH: Rae was a little tougher. Even in the Wu-Tang book, they talk about how he's the Chef because he was a little thicker than the rest of the guys. So it's hard to find a character that wasn't insultingly pudgy but was also badass. I thought Beast because I'm a huge X-Men guy.
CB: You sent me a really neat picture of the Kingpin from Daredevil. Obviously, I toned him down a little bit, as far as the scale is concerned, but that was a great image for inspiration. Also, we're both big fans of the "Dexter" TV series. He wears a butcher's apron, and I was like, "How do I make a butcher's apron look cool?" Alex sent me a shot from "Dexter" when he's in one of his killing rooms and he's got a big apron on, and we ran with that.
AH: Yeah, he had the biggest risk of seeming cheesy, and I think he ended up being the most badass of all of them.
CB: Because Wu-Tang Clan has that samurai feel to their background, I really wanted to exaggerate the butcher knives and make them like they're still butcher knives, but they're like great big samurai swords. They're great tools that he uses for his business.
Pitchfork: Chris, would you be interested in doing more album covers?CB: Sure. As soon as Alex released the first images from the covers, I received a half a dozen requests from guys all around the world asking me to do hip-hop album covers for them. [laughs] I got a big kick out of them. A lot of it has to do with subject matter. The three guys I got to work with are such characters, and there are so many ideas you can latch onto. The Wu-Tang culture was fun to work with. It was a huge, huge attraction for me to work on these specific covers for these guys. And you have no idea how thrilled I am that this is going to happen and that the album covers are going to get published. It's great fun for me. A thrill.

"We're not required to levy the entire $156,000," she added.
The increase in the police pension fund is considered due to the number of officers nearing retirement and the pension problems at the state level..
"This will significantly impact the city fund," Jones said. "I think we need to get as close as we can or we're going to get farther and farther behind."
The levy proposal will be voted on at the December 16 city council meeting.
In old business, the council directed city attorney Jack Kiley to give a timeline to the owner of the burned out building on North Morgan to rebuild or sell the building as part of a move to prepare the downtown for the streetscape project.
In old business, Commissioner Thom Schafer reported that the transmission went out on the water department truck which has 190,000 miles on it. A used transmission was put into it, but Schafer reported that they are looking at a newer used truck to replace it.

Skyzoo - Frisbees
Artist: Skyzoo
Producer: Illmind
Album: Live From the Tape Deck
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 8 total votes )
OK, raise your hand if you expected Skyzoo's latest single to be a diss track in which the Brooklyn native compared other rapper's CDs to every fratboy/golden retriever's favorite toy. I did, anyway. The truth, however, is considerably more creative: this joint finds Sky tossing out cryptic, tightly-wound punchlines like Frisbees, and challenging listeners to catch them with their brains. (Figuratively, of course.) Illmind mans the boards, creating a gritty synth backdrop for rhymes that'll take their share of repeat listens to unravel: "Upper echelon, sketch a song, stretch the batter up, call the beat the lactose, pray it keep you padded up…" Lyrics like this might not score Skyzoo a spot in the Top 40, but they'll certainly earn him a place in the iPods, and hearts, of hip-hop heads on the intellectual side of the spectrum. If you fall into that category, you'll most definitely want to pick up a copy of Skyzoo and Illminds's forthcoming collaborative LP, Live From the Tape Deck, set to hit stores and online retailers this October via Duck Down Records.
