Valdosta - Although 325 foster children are registered in Lowndes County, only about a third of them are still living in the area. "We don't have enough foster homes in the county for all the children," says Case Manager Beth Mathis.
Families, brothers and sisters can sometimes be in different parts of the state just so they'll have a decent place to live. "We want to reunited families but its very hard to reunited them when the children are spread all over the place," she adds.
So the Valdosta Fire Department and Lowndes County Department of Family and Children Services are teaming up, in hopes of finding these kids a home nearby for the holidays. "So I got with the chief and he thought it was a great idea to have a Christmas party for them," says Sgt Leslie Brogdon of the Valdosta Fire Department.
Here potential foster parents can see the kids and speak to parents who have opened their hearts and homes to help the children grow. "You see a lot of their values change, you see them develop a self esteem, you see them make friendships," says foster parent Janice Inman.
But they say the children aren't the only ones touched by the program. "We found it made us better people, more loving, more caring and really appreciate the small things in life," she adds.
DFACS officials say they need an additional 60 families in the county to give these children the ultimate Christmas present.

By now you have all read reports that the Flyers tried to acquire Jaime Langenbrunner from the Devils. Holmgren was quoted I believe to be looking to upgrade the RW on what I am assuming is the Richards line. So I began to ask myself who might be out there come deadline time that Homer can target to fit this upgrade? Being that we have Zherdev as a RW practically on the bench the needs here are not goal scoring. Instead I am looking for a RW who can play with and against the top NHL competition as Mike Richards wing man. Since we are the Flyers size is always a concern. Also since we are the Flyers cap hit is also of the concern. I would prefer a contract that was expiring and not to take on any additional salary for next season. And once more since we are the Flyers former Flyers will be given extra considerations.
Lets look at the bottom 10 teams in the league.
Danius Zubrus - With the departure of Langenbrunner the only option left is former Flyer Danius Zubrus. He has the size at 6ft 5in 230lbs but his 3.4 million dollar cap hit until the end of the 2013 season makes Zubrus an extremely tough fit.
David Clarkson - Another potential option he is good friends with Mike Richards from the playing days with the Kitchener Rangers 6ft 1in 200lbs doesn't scream power forward and his career high 32 points in 2008 doesn't scream upgrade or 1st line talent especially not for a 2.667 million dollar cap hit for this and 2 more seasons.
The Isles have a lot of expiring contracts which is good unfortunately they don't have a lot of good players especially veteran players that will likely be moved.
Trent Hunter - Big RW who hits a lot never scored more than 25 goals and he did that way back in 2005, 2million cap hit until 2013 and he has only played 17 games this season. Not much help there.
Blake Comeau - Is another option RFA to be at 24 so unlikely to be trade. He is also the second leading scorer on the Isle behind Travares with 10 G and 14 A. He comes cheap at 0.800 million cap hit. But he is young unproven never seeing playoff action.
Dustin Penner - Now we a talking POWER FORWARD. 6ft 4in 245lb RW who has scored over 25 goals twice in his career and played in some long playoff runs from his days with the Ducks. I remember some issues with his work ethic from discussions on this board when his name came up in the past. Problem here is that he has another year left on his heafty 4.2 million dollar contract making him a tough to impossible fit cap wise.
Not much else on in terms of wingers up in Oil Country besides.....
Alse Hemsky - He is not big 6ft 180lbs but wears an A for the Oilers and plays some PK time averaging over a minute per game on the penalty kill and 3 minutes of PP time. A proven 20 goal scorer who is a plus player on a really bad team. He is the only plus forward on the team to put that statement into perspective. However once again he comes with a hefty price tag 4.1 million dollar cap hit for this and next season without as much offensive upsides or size as Penner.
Not a lot of trade history between Flyers and Ottawa in my memory but lets take a look at the Sens.
Daniel Alfredsson - He is veteran at 37 years of age and the Senators captain and leading point scorer. He does everything for the team PP, PK Even Strength and anchored the once dominate Alfredsson Heatly Spezza line before Heatly wanted to go ruin another team. He also comes at close to 5 million dollar cap hit for the next 2 seasons too rich for too long.
Chris Neil - A Carcillo clone not who makes twice as much money and his a lot older. No Thanks there.
The Brian Burke Maple leafs. They started the season on top of the EAST for a good week or so and now they are who we thought they were. The Leafs 3 best forwards are RWs but we know strength down the middle is much more important and without a good Center or a 1st round draft pick this team is not going anywhere soon.
Kris Versteeg - A 24 year old 20 goal scorer with an all too familiar cup ring. Small in stature put plays an intense game. He was big acquisition for the Leafs this offseason and makes a decent salary at just over 3 million on the cap. Highly unlikely to be traded again.
Colby Armstrong - Another offseason acquisition for the leafs and I player I wanted the Flyers to target this year. He is pick and plays a chippy game but he is over paid costing 3 million in cap hit for this and the next two seasons. He has 10 pts this season in 25 games not bad but 3 million for a 35 point player is just too much.
Not much here either that looks like an upgrade.
Corey Stillman - He is their vet 37 years olds who won back to back cups with Tampa Bay and Carolina many moons ago. He is list officially as a left wing and point production has dropped off considerably with age. He has 10 points in 28 games so far this season. His price tag is also considerably high at 3.5 million but his contract expires at the end of the season. He is probably going to get dealt and won't cost much but I don't think he has enough left to play on our top line.
Steven Bernier - I only bringing up Bernier because he is often traded. So there has to be something GMs see in this kid. Florida is his 4th team in his 6 season career. His career high in points in modest at 32 for the Canucks back in 2008. He plays a Flyers game getting averaging close to 100 PIMs in his career and is supposed to have some offensive upside. Trading for guys who only get 13 minutes of ice time on the Panthers is not something I want to do. He is basically another Carcillo and not going to help out here either.
A team and organization in shambles. GM is fired and they have a lame duck big name coach at the helm. They are probably going to be moving whatever they can to start the rebuilding process. The problem is the team is littered with a lot of bad long term contracts that are going to be hard to move.
Jerome Ingilna - Is the big name and the Captain of the Flames. He hasas been mentioned in some trade Rumors but will cost a lot to get him if he waives his NTC and his price tag would be the biggest on the Flyers coming in at 7 million for the next 2 seasons. He is though probably one the the best if not the best RWs in the game. 9 straight 30+ goal seasons and he is on pace for another 35 goal 70 point season. He embodies Flyers hockey he fights and hits and plays with an attitude. Homer would have to channel his inner Ruben Armaro to get Ingilna. Highly highly unlikely to happen would cost us a top 9 forward for sure Carter or Hartnell perhaps and that isn't getting us anywhere.
Other wingers on the LEFT side.
Rene Bourque - A good size LW 6ft 3in 213 lbs 29 years of age with 3 million dollar cap hit for the next four years. He was recently this offseason resigned by the Flames former GM so I am not sure if he is going to get traded. He is close to equivalent to Hartnell in terms of point production 20 - 25 goals and 50 points per season. He does however take about 1/2 the PIMs.
Alex Tanguay - Tanguay has regained his form after a horrendous run for the Canadians. He contract is very cheap and expiring at the end of this season at 1.7 million dollars. He plays the LW. But is on pace for 20 goals and 60 point season. He might not cost much and has playoff experience and for his career in a +154. He is play maker doesn't like to shoot a lot so I am not sure how that fits with our lineup and like I said before a LW not a RW so again that is an issue.
This is a intriguing team. Will they be buyers or sellers come deadline. Currently they are only 6 points out of the playoff picture. And have a few intriguing options that could be of help the Flyers at wing.
RJ Umberger - former Flyer playoff hero offically listed as center but as we all know RJ can play anywhere. Good size good skill pretty good at just about everything. He cap number is high coming in at 3.5 million bucks. Another tough fit to impossible fit for next season. He is one pace for another 20 plus goals and 55 point season.
Chris Clark - The former Capitals captain who scored 30 goals back in 2006. His point production his way down he is one pace for 10 goals 27 point season. But he does play significant PK time at 2 minutes per game and is a natural RW. Playing with some top talent like Richards could he regain his scoring touch who knows. He is 34 years old and his reasonable 2.4 million dollar contract is up at the end of the season.
Lastly lets take a look at Buffalo. Another team that over paid wingers without ever getting centers for them to play with. I have a few good friends who are Sabers fans and I am hearing the team is going to get sold if it hasn't all ready and they are going to clean house and rebuild around Meyers and Miller. They only have one winger who is worth mentioning. All the others Pominville, Vanek are extremely over paid and I mean extremely overpaid. They are one pace for 45 points and 62 points respectively but have cap hits of 5.45 and 7.1 million extending for the next 3 seasons. That leaves only....
Drew Stafford - Young 25 years of age good size at 6ft 2in 215lbs. He plays an in front of the net back to goalie style from what I remember. And has scored 14 goals and 22 points so far this season. He has a significant upside. I am not sure if where he stands with Buffalo but from the fans I have talked to say his work ethic is not stellar to say the least. His is price tag is very affordable 1.9 million dollars and expiring as a RFA at the end of this season.
Finally to other names worth mentioning as former Flyers RWs.
Mike Knuble - The causality of the Randy Jones Fiasco. He is in the last year of his 2.2 million dollar contract and played very well with Richards only 2 seasons ago. He is another year older at 38 and he only as 9 goals and 9 assists so far this season in 39 games played. He unfortunately plays for conference rival Washington Capitals and is unlikely to be traded to the Flyers if he is to be traded at all.
Scottie Upshall - Another fan favorite and free agent to be. Upshall is on pace for 20 goals and 40 points getting only 13 minutes of ice time for the Coyotes. His 2.250 million cap hit is for this year only. He certainly provides some offensive upside. I question he ability to play with Richards against top line competition. At 6ft 200lbs he doesn't hurt size wise and really did provide some energy to the team with his up tempo play style. Based on PHX recent acquisition of Rosival I am not sure if PHX is going to sell at the deadline. But then again Upshall ins't exactly getting a ton of ice time at 13 minutes per game and Scottie doesn't play on the PP or PK.
So all that being said and that was a lot. I am not exactly sure where the Flyers so look to for winger help or if winger help is actually needed in the 1st place. I am not in love with Nodl playing with Richie and would much rather see him moved down to a 3rd line role.
The 3 best acquisitions would be Chris Clark, Scottie Upshall, and Drew Stafford. All 3 are natural RWs with expiring contracts. Tough decision. I would be leaning towards choosing between Clark and Upshall because they probably would cost the least in trade. I don't know enough of Clark can he skate well enough or if he has enough left in the tank to play with the top line. He adds insurance to the PK which is nice to have to the playoffs.
Nor do I know if Upshall's game has changed enough to play against the top level competition. I think Upshall's speed and willingness to take the body will be a big asset in Lavy's aggressive forecheck system. He reminds a lot of Eric Cole, injuries and all, who had lots of success under Lavy in Carolina.
So I am going to put in to a vote.
Please feel free to add you own names if I missed someone and thanks for reading.

Blending Fundamental and Quantitative Research
Author(s): Joseph C. Flaherty, Jr., and Laura Levesque
Published: January 31. 2013 10:32PM
Investors often seek to reduce risk and add value by diversifying managers. They may choose to hire both fundamental and quantitative managers with the belief that the combination of two differentiated investment approaches will result in a more efficient overall portfolio.
MFS believes that an investment process that dynamically integrates quantitative and fundamental research under a single manager can potentially produce a better outcome than simply allocating to independent quantitative and fundamental managers. The key advantage of this structure is the ability to place greater emphasis on the quantitative or fundamental input within the portfolio based on relative skill. Not all portfolio managers and analysts are equal when it comes to skills, experience, and knowledge. When we simply select two separate and independent strategies, we may not be able to take full advantage of strengths.
In this paper, we draw on academic and practitioner research to examine this investment thesis.
All white papers posted were created by the listed authors who are solely responsible for the research, finding and all materials contained therein.

South Bend Schools is doing something it hasn't it a long time.
The district is developing a strategic plan.
Not only has it been a while since a strategic plan was adopted, South Bend Schools have lost hundreds of students because of the state's voucher program.
But the district is being proactive.
Officials are searching for solutions and they want your help!
The first in a series of public meetings was held Monday night.
There were a few dozen people in the auditorium of John Adams High School, many of them teachers and staff. Teachers say parent involvement is their number one concern.
They want to see specific invitations to parents to get them more involved instead of just talking about it.
Anne Hayner is the parent of two South Bend School students.
She says while her kids have had a great education, one thing's for sure, communication can be improved to get parents at meetings like Monday night's.
"I'm just amazed that there wouldn't be, in this day and age, an email list for instance that the school wouldn't be able to communicate with all the sophomore class families and parents," says Hayner.
Communication and parental involvement are two of the biggest issues addressed at the first public meeting.
Concerns Superintendent Dr. Carole Schmidt says will be considered.
"I'm sure a lot of things will come up. I don't know what those might be, but whatever they have to say, we're certainly willing to listen," says Schmidt.
Right now the district has a draft of what the strategic plan could like.
A final version won't likely be out until late spring.
The next meeting is Tuesday at Washington High School. It is at 7:00pm.
If you cannot make it to either meeting, you can also fill out an online survey.
For more information on the planning sessions, go to the South Bend Community School Corporation website.

Homeland Security:
Federal Leadership Needed to Facilitate Interoperable Communications Between First Responders
GAO-04-1057T: Published: Sep 8, 2004. Publicly Released: Sep 8, 2004.
Additional Materials:

Lives of first responders and those whom they are trying to assist can be lost when first responders cannot communicate effectively as needed. This testimony addresses issues of determining the status of interoperable wireless communications across the nation, the potential roles that federal, state, and local governments can play in improving these communications, and the need to structure grant programs so that they better support public sector efforts to improve these communications.
The current wireless interoperable communications capabilities of first responders nationwide have not been determined. To assess these capabilities, a set of requirements is needed that can be used to assess "what is" compared to "what should be." The Office of Management Budget (OMB) has established the Wireless Public Safety Interoperable Communications Program, SAFECOM, within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as the focal point for coordinating federal efforts to improve interoperable communication. In April 2004, SAFECOM issued a document designed to serve as a set of baseline requirements and is working to develop a baseline of current capabilities by July 2005. This is a difficult task, and the details of SAFECOM's baseline study have yet to be finalized. The federal government can take a leadership role and provide support for developing (1) a national database of interoperable communication frequencies, (2) a common nomenclature for those frequencies, (3) a national architecture that identifies communications requirements and technical standards, and (4) statewide interoperable communications plans. SAFECOM has limited authority and ability to oversee and coordinate federal and state efforts as it is dependent upon other agencies for funding and their willingness to cooperate. DHS, where SAFECOM now resides, has recently announced it is establishing an Office for Interoperability and Compatibility to coordinate the federal response to the problems of interoperability. The exact structure and funding for this office, which will include SAFECOM, are still being developed. State and local governments can play a large role in developing and implementing plans to improve public safety agencies' interoperable communications. State and local governments own most of the physical infrastructure of public safety communications systems, and states play a central role in managing emergency communications. States, with broad input from local governments, are a logical choice to serve as a foundation for interoperability planning because incidents of any level of severity originate at the local level with states as the primary source of support. However, states are not required to develop interoperability plans, and there is no clear guidance on what should be included in such plans. The federal funding assistance programs to state and local governments do not fully support regional planning for communications interoperability. Federal grants that support interoperability have different requirements to tie funding to interoperable communications plans. In addition, uncoordinated federal and state level reviews limit the government's ability to ensure that federal funds are used to effectively support improved regional and statewide communications systems.

News: Fabolous Amps Security To Avoid Leaks, "I Want People To Hear The Sh*t As A Finished Product" [Video]
Friday, Jun 19, 2009 11:05AM
Faboulous recently spoke on the recent emergence of music leaks and the new measures he has decided to take in order to avoid further leaks of his upcoming album Loso's Way.
Responding to initial rumors that Jermaine Dupri leaked his music, Fab described how pre-finalized tracks are landing online.
"I personally, myself, don't think JD, himself, leaked 'em," Fab said about his recently leaked songs. "I think maybe someone in the camp or somebody being irresponsible leaving it open to somebody else. We usually don't have a leak problem, the things where we had problems is giving music to people to do their mixes, that's where we had a problem. And now I've learned from that okay, we're not going to do that anymore. We're not gonna e-mail you stuff. You're gonna have to come in or we fly to you or wherever and get the sh*t done because the amount of hacking and piracy going on now, and you put all that time and effort into building something, then people are starting to get it here, here, here, piece by piece instead of getting it collectively. I want people to hear the sh*t as a finished product." (The Life Files)
Fab recently spoke with SOHH about his initial reaction to leaked Loso's Way songs.
"My leak situation was disappointing because it was three songs that I don't think represent the album as a whole," he explained. "They were all three produced by Jermaine Dupri and his camp. On my Twitter I went on a little rant. I just blamed JD's camp really. I don't think it's JD actually leaking records because why would he do that? I felt like [it was] somebody in the room." (SOHH)
Lupe Fiasco recently reacted to his song "Shining Down" leaking online.
"I DON'T LEAK MY OWN RECORD!!!!," he wrote in all caps. "I'M NOT A FAN OF LEAKING RECORDS OR OF DOWNLOADING!!!! My entire first album leaked and possibly cost me from going platinum my first time out as the final estimates of how many people actually downloaded that album illegally was well over half a million...Someone hacked my email. I was about to fire my entire staff and cut off relationships over shining down leaking last night. Bun B hit me and was like 'the records dope' and i was like 'what record?' nobody even has it. the only possible explanation is my email chain with the mix studio (which is air tight...the studio that is) was hacked and thats where the record came from. Lastly, the album is f*cking ridiculous. I dont like to brag or sh*t like that but the album is sooo f*cking crazy at this point 95% done." (Lupe Fiasco's Blog)
Kanye West has also been the victim of leaks, including his "Paranoid" music video.
"It hurts me to see the old and very wrong version of the paranoid video get leaked all over the net while I was on an 11-hour flight and couldn't do anything about it," Ye wrote unmodified. "It's just frustrating when this stuff happens because I really care about the product and since videos never get played any way you might as well tweak them and make them as special as possible. The version that got leaked from the camera phone last week is at least a little closer to the final product. Thank-you everybody for your support but that video was not up to my standards." (Kanye West's Blog)
Loso's Way is reportedly set to hit retail stores this summer.

By Emilia Fahlin
My little America trip started almost two weeks ago, cruising by China for a week on the way over here.
Arriving in the US of A, I was a little time confused but was more than happy to get a warm welcome by team mate Loren, who I hadn't seen since camp in December!
And by warm welcome I mean that she drove me straight to Chipotle after my quite interesting bus trip from LA to Bakersfield. That I call a quality teammate – she already picked up on my favorite US food destination!
Just to top it, she took me to another Mexican place for dinner..
Oh how happy I was to have found someone who could eat Mexican food every meal! And literally we almost did. Seven out of eight days we had fajitas for dinner, starting off in Bakersfield we made it through Santa Monica and over to Boise and the Tour de Fajitas will continue further to Philly, Asheville and Minneapolis in the upcoming weeks.
I would go as far to say Loren takes this even more seriously then me, as you could see if you looked her the photo album on her phone… It looks pretty tasty right??
So in between all this food we've made sure to ride our bikes too.
We had a pretty epic time trial experience in Bakersfield, where the 40 degree heat was a bit more than I was used to from the European spring I came from and it was a long 45min off suffering out on the wide open highway. I think I never wished for rain and five degrees so much in my life as then. And yes, that thought certainly came back to hit me..
So now we are busy racing in Boise at the Exergy Tour, which is a great new UCI event put on the women's calendar and the last two days here were exactly that temperature. It was so nice when we got in here last weekend but it suddenly dropped to around 8 degrees and rain. Guess my teammates can file the complaints about that to me..
But they don't seem to be too bothered since they are riding awesome. Yesterday we displayed some great teamwork, and I was half crying, half smiling enjoying the suffering induced by holding Clara's wheel and attempting to come around her and match her pulls.. Oh but it was all worth it when Ina took over the leaders Jersey!
And today we got an all Specialized-lululemon podium in the time trial!
Tomorrow we are heading in to the big mountains and with the top 4 in GC I'm sure it will be a very exciting day on the bike!
I really enjoy racing over here, so many people out watching, excited and cheering us on, it's a great atmosphere and all is so professionally done! The races are even possible to watch on a tourtracker live stream on the net or on a phone app!
Since we have really early start times (maybe Ina would be off a different opinion) it leaves time for some rest and recovery in the afternoons at the hotel, and we've got in to this amazing habit of taking ice baths in the evenings, some going for it more seriously than others, and I had to laugh a little bit yesterday when Loren came out off it in her bike jersey at 10pm. But i also caught her tweeting from the ice bath…
This afternoon just passed by and its time to head for dinner, unfortunately no fajitas is being served, and I just got the news from home that Sweden won the Eurovison song contest, and you bet the Germans are gonna get to hear that at the dinner table tonight..

On Monday I took the M-Line from the D Magazine offices to Max's Wine Dive and didn't get lost. That may not mean much to most people, but for the directionally challenged, like myself, it means I got to the media dinner 25 minutes early where about six bigInk PR staffers (who represent Max's) sat for an informal brain storming session.
They waved me over to join them while they finished, and I did so happily after I got an ice cold El "Hefe" Weizen put in my hand. I sat there as they talked about different possible ideas for drinking-related party fun with anything ranging from wine cork Legos to painting a glass to take home. "No ideas gets shot down here," said Jeffrey Yarbrough, bigInk's CEO, who soon after showed me how to twist the two bones out of a chicken wing he was eating from the happy hour menu, leaving only the meat behind. Apparently, it's all in the wrist.
Max's is based out of Houston and each location has a set menu of classics. In addition to the base menu, the on-site chef makes a seasonal menu unique to the restaurant. We tasted Chef Patrick's summer menu that had dishes like purple hull pea hummus, blue crab mini corn dogs, and diver scallops and Texas caviar.
I tried about 10 different things and without a doubt the "can't miss" item is the chanterelle bolognese. It's listed as having "braised wild chanterelles, hand-rolled garganelli pasta, chilies, and pecorino Romano cheese," but once I tasted it I didn't care about the fancy names. A sweet, slightly acidic sauce covers the meaty mushrooms and the thick, chewy, hand-rolled pasta like a warm, loving blanket. The pasta is made on site each day and isn't dried before it's cooked like store-bought pasta is. The result is a thicker, more al dente pasta that fit perfectly with the hearty bolognese sauce. There were four of us sharing plates that day and I think we all went back as politely as we could to get a few more of those noodles. More than once.
While the bolognese tried to eclipse my memory of the day, there was more food to be had. The shorty roll, which is made of braised beef short ribs, smoked tomato, and pickled onion sat nicely atop a challah roll. The braised beef was so tender it melted in my mouth and there was a sweetness that balanced out the big meat flavor. The challah bread proved a fitting light, flaky host for the combo.
A renovated classic was the brats & beer. Beer-braised house bratwurst, pickled sweet peppers, and Lone Star beer foam made this the go-to meal for hotdog lovers. I tasted the perfect amount of beer, making it almost unnecessary to drink one. Almost.
Following the theme of classics with a twist, the wagyu "bacon" BLT is built with Korean BBQ-glazed wagyu "bacon," Spicer's greens, and fried green tomatoes with a cucumber-mint aioli all served in between sourdough bread. Our waitress warned us the bacon meat was more fatty than most expect, and she wasn't joking. Aside from the aioli, all the ingredients were heavy and filling.
After we all sat there, stuffed and complaining of full stomachs, we did the only thing we could do—get dessert. Actually, we got two desserts: the half and half (part-brownie, part-bread pudding served with a scoop of vanilla and chocolate ice cream), and the huckleberry shortcake (which is served on top of lemon curd with red wine poached huckleberries and served with the house-made coconut ice cream). Definitely go for the latter if you're a fan of tart things—the shortbread soaks up the syrup-like flavors on the bottom of the plate. If you're like me and love what some call "sickeningly sweet," go for the half and half. It's like four different desserts on one plate and every one of them can stand on their own.
More items on the menu to look out for:
Blue crab corndogs: Crispy on the outside, smooth on the inside – and with the curry mayonnaise – they pack a kick. They weren't as greasy as I expected, but they also didn't taste very crab-like.
Arugula & peach salad is served with a peach vinaigrette and Texas pecans. The secret about the pecans is that while the chef candies them, a little barbecue flavor is also mixed in. How Texas can one nut be?
The purple hull pea hummus came with grilled pita bread and bacon jam. That's right. Bacon jam. Overall this one sounded and looked more interesting than it tasted. It came out as a generic tasting hummus with more of a bean flavor.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday asserted his support for upgrading to university status the Ariel University Center of Samaria in the West Bank.
Netanyahu was speaking at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting. "Ariel is an integral part of Israel and will remain as such in any future agreement," he said.
"The establishment of the university serves to strengthen higher education in Israel. Seven universities is not enough. It is important to have another university, and it is important that this will be Ariel," the prime minister added.

Ariel proposal, which calls for all necessary steps to be taken to execute the

the number of the country's accredited universities to eight. Sa'ar said an
eighth university "would enhance Israel's education system."
There is a

"There is a crisis of trust between the state attorney's
office and the settlers," Herschkowitz said. "Appointing Nitzan to deal with

Use Diagnosis Codes, Not V Codes, for Preoperative Clearance
Pediatric Coding Alert
Use Diagnosis Codes, Not V Codes, for Preoperative Clearance
- Published on Fri, Jun 01, 2001
Many private payers refuse to recognize V codes V72.81 (
preoperative cardiovascular examination
...) and V72.84 (...
) as primary diagnoses for preoperative clearance.
To address this problem, list the diagnosis prompting the surgery rather than the V code as the primary diagnosis, recommends
Donelle Holle, RN,
manager of professional fee services at the University of Michigan Health System, department of pediatrics, in Ann Arbor.
Joel F. Bradley, MD, FAAP,
editor of
Coding for Pediatrics,
a member of the AAP coding and reimbursement committee and a practicing pediatrician in Clarksville, Tenn., concurs. The proper diagnosis is the one necessitating the surgery.
Because this diagnosis is likely to be serious, payers computers wont reject it. And using such a diagnosis is proper coding: After all, you would not perform the preoperative exam unless the child had the problem. Use the V code as a secondary diagnosis, showing that a preoperative examination was performed.
For example, a patient may have caries, calling for extraction of a tooth. For a child, this requires a surgical procedure with anesthesia, and therefore a preoperative clearance is necessary. List 521.0 (
dental caries
) as the primary diagnosis and
as the secondary diagnosis.
In another example, a child suffers repeated ear infections. The pediatrician sends the patient to an otolaryngologist, who determines the child requires tubes. The specialist returns the patient to the pediatrician requesting that he or she perform a preoperative clearance exam. Report the service with chronic otitis media (381.x or 382.x) as the primary diagnosis and V72.84 as the secondary diagnosis.
Dental Insurance May Require V Code
If a childs dental insurance is separate from his or her medical insurance, and he or she requires dental surgery, use preoperative clearance
the dental diagnosis as the primary diagnosis. The medical insurance will not cover dental in this case, and therefore a dental diagnosis should not be billed. The only exception is if there is an abscess, in which case coverage moves from dental to medical.
When there is no dental coverage, however, report the surgical diagnosis as primary.
Chronic Condition
Some children have chronic health conditions that complicate both the surgery and the preoperative exam. According to some insurers, this is the only time that a preoperative clearance exam is medically necessary.
Use three diagnosis codes for preoperative exams of children with chronic conditions, the first representing the chronic condition, the second for the condition that necessitates the surgery (such as tubes or dental caries) and lastly the appropriate V code.
Some payers expect V72.81 and V72.82 to be performed by specialists cardiologists or pulmonologists, respectively while others allow the primary care physicians to perform them.

Archaeologists have unearthed dozens of golden artifacts in an ancient tomb in northern Bulgaria.
The artifacts were found in a tomb dating back to the Thracian civilization. They include bracelets, a tiara, golden rings, female figurines and 100 golden buttons. It's believed the artifacts date back to the late fourth or early third century B.C.
Not much is known about the Thracians. They had no written language and didn't leave any records that survived. Most of what is known about them is from the recovery of artifacts like these.

Criminal Justice
A Tough Road Ahead for Prosecutors Appointed to Probe Classified Leaks
Posted Jun 11, 2012 9:04 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Two U.S. attorneys appointed on Friday to probe leaks of intelligence information face several obstacles under the 1917 espionage law used in such cases.
Leak prosecutions typically rely on a law that bars disclosure of national defense information to unauthorized persons, the New York Times reports. For a criminal conviction, prosecutors must show the defendant had knowledge that the leaked information could harm the United States or help a foreign power.
Though some defendants accused under the law have pleaded guilty, prosecutors have won only one conviction at trial, the story says. It involved an intelligence analyst who gave satellite photos of a Soviet ship facility to Jane's Defense Weekly in 1984.
The Times identifies other problems: It can be difficult to identify a leaker, especially for information in heavily reported stories with "diffuse sourcing." And prosecuting a leaker can result in disclosure of even more government secrets.
The leak probe will be led by U.S. Attorneys Richard Machen Jr. of the District of Columbia and Rod Rosenstein of Maryland, report Bloomberg News and the Associated Press. Critics have claimed the leaks are part of a White House effort to bolster President Obama's campaign, a charge denied by the president.
Apparently leaked information led to stories on U.S. drone strikes, a U.S. effort to damage Iran's nuclear program with a computer virus, and a double agent who helped avert a terrorist plot.

DeAndre Jordan had 16 points and 21 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Clippers breezed to a 112-103 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Monday.
Jordan made his first seven shots -- almost all on dunks. Blake Griffin added 25 points and Jamal Crawford scored 26 for the Clippers, who are now 6-2 since losing star point guard Chris Paul to a shoulder injury.
J.J. Redick added 20 points for Los Angeles, including two four-point plays when the Pistons fouled him beyond the arc.
Rodney Stuckey scored 29 points for Detroit and Josh Smith added 24, but the Pistons got almost nothing from their starting backcourt. Brandon Jennings went scoreless and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored only six points.

News: Kanye West Blows Up The Media, "This Sh*t Takes The Air Out Of My Lungs"
Tuesday, Jan 18, 2011 11:15AM
Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West unleashed his frustrations with the media yesterday (January 17) after his sarcastic Britney Spears taunts were misinterpreted as containing a malicious undertone.
Via Twitter, Yeezy questioned the media's constant desire to convey his lifestyle negatively.
"Just saw that MSNBC said I tried to start a twitter war with Brittany. This sh*t takes the air out my lungs sometimes from blogs to news reports... enough already!!! All I do is focus on my work. There's a new lie everyday... a new media spin... I never got a watch with my face on it!!! A company tried to give that to me 9 yrs ago! I'm one of the most considerate people in real life. Maybe over considerate. Over caring. Overly real. There is no astronaut training for celebrity... even though this whole life is so outer space! I was actually surprised that a record as raw as H*A*M could make it to #2 on Itunes. How can u 'let' someone be number one??!! That was the whole joke!!! I know intelligent people know this so bear with me. When I said the comment about Brittney I was giving her props for being #1 not dissing her at all! But stop making it seem that my aim is to hurt or down people! That's just not my style! As pop stars we're all in this sh*t together! We on the inside of the TV! If the media wants to make a story ... just say I have atrocious spelling and terrible grammar...If you don't give em a story they just make one up. I'm just trying to focus & stay creative! Keep bringing dope sh*t to the world!" (Kanye West's Twitter)
On a lighter note, West did use his platform to thank his loyal supporters.
"Once again thank you to all my fans who made MBDTF certified platinum! You all give me the power and I never take it for granted. I am an extension of my listeners. I won't always say the right thing but my heart is always in the right place. Thinking out loud... Whenever I read press I just need to remind myself that there's people that care about music and don't care about press" (Kanye West's Twitter)
Ye's misconstrued Tweet made headlines Friday (January 14) evening.
Oops! He's done it again! Kanye West took to his Twitter today to interrupt Britney Spears just like he did Taylor Swift at the VMAs. "Yo Britney, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you be #1, but me and Jay-Z single is one of the best songs of all time! LOL" Kanye Tweeted. Glad to see Kanye can joke about it! Just before that he Tweeted, "H*A*M #2 on Itunes...THANK YOU!!!" Britney has taken the top with her new single, "Hold It Against Me," but it seems like Kanye is still proud of second place since he did say he'd let her finish! (OK! Magazine)
The rapper later reminded readers he was joking.
"On a serious note I'm truly happy for @AvrilLavigne and @BritneySpears... No hate in 2011!," he tweeted Friday (January 14) night.
"I thought LOL signified a joke... I didn't get the 2011 LOL doesn't signify a joke anymore memo... LOL or something else I guess" (Kanye West's Twitter)

Close your eyes and imagine utopia. If there is a unicorn, a rainbow and 70 per cent chance of showers, you are probably imagining the land Brasstronauts hails from. Their composed sound consists of keys, trumpets, drums, bass and flugelhorn -- yes, a flugelhorn. Their unconventional instrumentation reinforces their identity as one of the most relaxing and calming sounds around. Sticking to no one genre, the band plays anything from pop to jazz. Mt. Chimaera, Brasstronaut's debut full-length album, continues the magic that was created on their EP Old World Lies.
The entire album moves smoothly and eloquently from song to song. Every song is memorable, from the opening "Slow Knots," to the quicker paced "Lo Hi Hopes." Lead vocalist and keyboardist Edo Van Breemen sings softly and passionately, conveying a message of love and longing.
The lyrics "In my head I'm somewhere else / couldn't dream of no one else," exemplify the Brasstronaut listening experience. They transport you to a new world, one where anything is possible, anything can happen and where everything is perpetually and perfectly in motion.

Town Square
Tourism Palo Alto
Original post made by Marvin on Oct 4, 2007
Web Link
Won't this create too much traffic (we hear this complaint about everything else so why not tourists) or this kind of traffic okay, i.e. people who will pay the exorbitant hotel tax and spend money in shops without being a "burden" on our infrastructure?

If we want the visitors that come to Palo Alto, e.g. Stanford visitors, business visitors, to spend money in Palo Alto, then we should do things that attract them. They need good transportation from their hotels to downtown and Stanford Shopping Centre. We need maps on boards round town and signs to useful places such as Caltrain station and buses. We might even need a taxi rank, or at least a taxi phone at the Caltrain stations. At present, anyone getting off a train is lost, there are no useful signs anywhere to direct visitors to where they are going. These signs need to be for cyclists as well as pedestrians getting off trains.

A visitor certainly needs a cell phone when visiting Palo Alto if they want a taxi, find a hotel room etc. when they arrive at University Avenue train station.
I suspect our City leaders are looking for high rollers who drive cars and spend money in our town; they're not looking at a potential Stanford student checking out the University.
You can easily visit San Francisco without a car and get around, but you can't do that here. We're not a very welcoming City for young people or international travelers.
Your comment about maps, sign posts, and street directions are correct - they're almost non-existent.

Elka's discomfort increasing. Sean's annoyance stifling. Kameelah's self-righteousness palpable to the point of it acquiring its own taste. After Montana and Sean finally arrive at the house amidst the third in a shoddily recapped series of comments concerning the firehouse needing "a pole I can slide down," Jason speeches Genesis about already seeing "the whole game plan," saying that he got a weird vibe from everyone they just met twelve seconds ago. Jason suggests that they have their "first official house meeting," and the music takes on the bassy, high-drama tone that is this episode's hallmark of The First Big Talk. Sean assumed that the three males of the house would live together in the provided triple, and Montana comments that she would rather live with another woman. Syrus, Kameelah, and Jason all covet the same bed, and Sean suggests that they could go with "who's oldest." It's a stupid idea, and I'm sorry that, among all of my options for other completely inane dialogue to quote verbatim here, that I had to go with that one. So much extraneous noise. I'm sayin', shut up unless you're holding the conch, people. Elka and Montana do not want to live with the boys, so they take leave of the meeting and claim themselves a double somewhere. Already I have no real idea which direction they're heading in when they leave, and I realize with a kind of dawning horror that this house seems to maintain about as much architectural integrity from scene to scene as the interior of the Brady house. Cut to Elka and Montana's newly acquired room and the planting of the seeds for what will become sadly stigmatized as the Dork Clique, where Montana drops the boyfriend bomb and fills Elka's virginal mind with all the hot, steamy lovin' that's going to take place in the next bed when Montana's boyfriend comes to visit. Ewww. Sex with pocky-faced Vaj. Good thing the New Geography has it that New York is now measured in light years from where they live now, thus significantly lessening the chances of said Vaj chartering the appropriate transportation. Keep in mind that, from what the cameras choose to show (and this is the world that is real, according to the title, so clearly the cameras never lie), Genesis has not, as of yet, said one word about the room situation. By the way.
Over in the confessional, Kameelah bemoans Genesis' insistence of "sharing a room with a man." Eh? Back in the triple, Kameelah interrupts the Cooler Clique of Jason, Syrus and Genesis, who are self-indulgently in the process of deciding that there is "a vibe" between the three of them. Sean and Jason have words, Genesis stands up for herself sort of, and Sean and Kameelah, the Consolation Prize Clique, dash off for their new domestic space. Sean takes off his glasses in the confessional because he thinks it makes him a sex machine. Jason comments that "I've got vibes and I've got good ones and bad ones, and I've got some bad vibes from a couple of cats already" before pouting out of the room, presumably to journal and journal and journal the night away.

At the end of the first half, your Houston Texans lead the Jacksonville Jaguars 17-0. Yes, the #BullsOnParade are pitching the shutout against the improved Blaine Gabbert, who leads a passing attack that has thrown for -4 yards. Yes, that is a negative sign.
During the second quarter, Arian Foster became the franchise's all-time leader in rushing yards. After 69 yards and a touchdown, Foster sits at 3,245 rushing yards. Take that, Dominic
Davis Wiliams! Ben Tate has pitched in another 49 rushing yards and a touchdown, as well.
As for our beloved Badger in the title, Mr. Watt, because he deserves that respect, has two tipped passes and half a sack. The way he is dominating the Jacksonville offensive line, I would not be surprised if he adds onto those numbers. Somewhere, Hakeem Olajuwon surely nods in respect of Watt's awareness of the ball and proficiency at hitting it in the air.
The Texans are rolling and here is your third quarter open thread. Go forth and comment.

SEX! Get Thee To A Bedroom, Quakers!
OkCupid, that online dating mecca, has published a series of infographics detailing the sexual facts, habits and interests of, well, almost everyone.
While the entire article is fascinating, of particular interest is Graph #9, which charts college tuition against the number of times per week students would like to fornicate. The general trend appears to be that the higher the tuition, the more the students want you in their beds. Turns out Penn students crave sex approximately 4.9 times per week! You naughty Quakers!
What can we learn from this? Well, we suggest taking a day trip to Sarah Lawrence (6.0), a hotbed of horniness, and staying far away from Iowa State (4.1). And if you don't want to leave campus, we're always here for you.

Gilbert White
Gilbert White was born in 1720 in Selborne in Hampshire and went to Oriel College, Oxford, where he became a Fellow in 1743. He took ordination and held a number of curacies in the vicinity of Selborne before finally becoming permanent curate of his birthplace in 1784, a position he held until his death in 1793. In 1751 he started keeping his 'Garden Kalendar', and later the 'Naturalist's Journal' he kept for 25 years. The Natural History of Selborne is based on his correspondence with two
distinguished naturalists, Thomas Pennant and Daines Barrington.
Anne Secord is an Affiliated Research Scholar in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge. The focus of her research and writing is on popular natural history in nineteenth-century Britain, and on horticulture, medicine, and consumption in the eighteenth century. She is completing a book that explores social class, observation, and skill in nineteenth-century natural history for the University of Chicago Press.

My Comments After Reading Al Gore's The Assault On Reason
by thinkforyourself, Fri Jun 08, 2007 at 08:53:50 AM EDT
The agora was the public space and a very integral part of the ancient Greek city-state. An agora acted as a marketplace and a forum for the citizens of the city-state in exchanging ideas. Its meaning was also that of an assembly and a crossroads of many concepts which could either be taken metaphorically or physically. It was the core of reasoned debate and the airing of concerns of the citizens. It was as was the Roman Senate a non stop debate with exchanges of ideas pro and con and both forms of open forums were the basis for our own Senate (which literally means council of elders) which still practices the quorum and filibuster.
However, there is something missing from our Senate (and Congress as a whole) of today in the United States, and in our public dialogue and it in many ways no longer follows the spirit of the forums it is based on in practice, even though in theory it is still modelled after those classic examples of Democratic Republics.
That is the very essence of Al Gore's book, The Assault on Reason. In it he seeks to connect the dots regarding the disconnect between our way of governing and those it is supposed to govern, and researches why we as a people have allowed that disconnect to take place. What has happened to the concern Americans should have for such matters of state that effect our lives? How and why do we allow fear to override our reason? Why do we consistently vote against our own better interests? How has civics and caring for good governance been replaced by matters trivial in comparison to those that will shape our very future? What has happened to our agora?
The reasons for this disconnect are stated plainly and truthfully in this no punches pulled critique of our political system by Mr. Gore with the quoting of these words: "Fear is the enemy of reason." And in the case of the Bush administration, it has been fear based on deliberate lies and misinformation spun and packaged for them by a complicit corporate media to take advantage of those who are unknowing of that truth and unwilling for whatever reason to seek it, in order to selfishly gain from that fear. It is to me truly a wicked deception that has unravelled the very fabric of this Democratic Republic.
However, as Mr. Gore also states in this book, it is not just the Bush administration that has brought this about. They are merely the continuation of a trend that began years ago and has only been allowed to become exceedingly worse as the distractions and fears pumped up by those on all sides who seek to gain from them have taken more as they have been given more. We are all responsible regardless of political stripe for the current state we find our country in. The old saying if you give them an inch they will take a yard is very appropriate here. By allowing them to steal an election, they feel undaunted in taking even more, and when that is given such as in the case of Habeus Corpus or other rights, why should they not feel empowered to take it even further if they believe we will not stop them or hold those representing us accountable for not stopping them?
This is now the crisis of Democracy we find ourselves in right now. Their taking that yard over and over again as we the people continue to sit and question why and how, when the answer is us and the abrogation of our role in stopping those forces seeking to distract us in order to regain the reason of years past that guided our decisions for the betterment of all people, not just certain groups bent on profiting from it based on their ideological or religious beliefs that take precedence over such reason. That is basically what I got from his book, and that we must now begin to see our part in the unravelling of this fabric and begin the process of making it whole again, or we will lose it.
There is the dilemma however, as Mr. Gore delves very deeply into the history of media from the invention of the printing press by Johannes Guttenberg, The Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment and Reason, the invention of radio, television, all the way up to the Internet, and interweaves these mediums with the psychological influences they had and have on the human mind and the responses they seek to program. With the onset of the printing press came a new freedom with many new ideas being brought forth that at that time were also stifled by the Church and other interests that felt threatened by this new found freedom of people who until that time could be kept in tow because of their ignorance.
And surely in all times throughout history when reason has moved to become prevalent, powerful interests have used their influence to try to squash those seeking knowledge. However, again, the spirit and passion of the soul and the courage to do the right thing taking precedence over the fear is what guided our stars to seeing this country survive for the last 231 years. Throughout history open marketplaces for exchanging such ideas became common, and books, pamphlets, and other ways of expression were the catalysts for movements that led to revolution (Thomas Paine's Common Sense,) including our own because people did not have the distractions of today to minimize its importance. And that is why the Internet is now so important in continuing that tradition.
We have now allowed that courage to be diminished and it is setting a dangerous precedent that threatens to leave our children with little more than a shell of what we started with, and as Mr. Gore states at the ending of this wonderful and prescient book: "Will we continue to live as a people under the rule of law as embodied in our Constitution? Or will we fail future generations by leaving them a Constitution far diminished from the charter of liberty we have inherited from our forebears? Our choice is clear."
And that choice is now becoming a part of the process we seek to change instead of being bystanders on the sidelines. It's now the only way to save this Democracy and in turn save this planet from the ravages of the climate crisis that has met the same fate at the hands of people who possess neither reason nor the moral strength to do the right thing. We must find out agora again, and speak loudly in it.
And the choice of our media now is of course, not to take this warning to heart and see the truth and seek to remedy it for the good of our country, but to respond as interests have done for centuries by striking out at the messenger. All one can say to that is, as fear is the enemy of reason, so is truth the enemy of totalitarianism. And there is plenty of that - truth, in this book by Al Gore. I once stated that Earth In The Balance was Mr. Gore's soul on paper. This book is then his heart, and it would serve this country well to read it, listen to its message regardless of politics, and to yes, take that reflective look in the mirror as we see our part in holding accountable those who would dare to abdicate reason for profit. It cannot stand and it must not stand.
Thank you, Mr. Gore for being the true voice of conscience in this country. For your work on the climate crisis especially as it is at the core of all that affects our lives, your statesmanship, your guidance, and your unwavering leadership. May we be so fortunate to continue to be the benefactors of it in whatever capacity you choose for many years to come. And may we get beyond the sound bites to finding the strength to take your lead in once again becoming citizens active in restoring the reason that has been so mercilessly assaulted while we looked the other way.

The following are the most common symptoms of multiple pregnancy. However, each woman may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms of multiple pregnancy may include:
Uterus is larger than expected for the dates in pregnancy
Increased morning sickness
Increased appetite
Excessive weight gain, especially in early pregnancy
Fetal movements felt in different parts of abdomen at same time
Many women suspect they are pregnant with more than one baby. Diagnosis of multiple fetuses may be made early in pregnancy, especially if fertility treatments were used. In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnosis may be made by:
Pregnancy blood testing. Levels of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) may be quite high with multiple pregnancy.
Alpha-fetoprotein. Levels of a protein released by the fetal liver and found in the mother's blood may be high when more than one fetus is making the protein.
Ultrasound. A diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of blood vessels, tissues, and organs. Ultrasounds can be done with a vaginal transducer, especially in early pregnancy, or with an abdominal transducer in later pregnancy.

Career Search Letters
During your professional tenure, there are several letters that may become necessary within the career search process. The most commonly used letter, the cover letter, supplements the resume and is not always required for consideration for job opportunities (i.e. Career Fairs, Information Sessions, etc.). It is a document that introduces your resume by summarizing your knowledge, skills, abilities, and experiences; however, cover letters are most effective when written in a way that demonstrates how your skill set aligns with a particular position or an organization (in general). Cover letters are recommended especially when requested by an employer or when attempting to win the interest of a company/organization in which you desire to be employed.
In addition to the cover letter, thank you letters are used to express gratitude for the opportunity to interview for any opportunity, and should be sent within 24 hours of the conclusion of your interview. To add a personal touch, it is recommended that thank you letters are handwritten on pre-printed thank you cards. Follow-up letters will allow you to receive an update on the status of a hiring decision, and should only be utilized in appropriate situations or circumstances. Graduate & Professional School letters/essays are often required as part of the graduate school application process, and should be written according to the guidelines stated per the application instructions.
What if you've never created a career search letter? Maybe you have a letter but it needs work? Ready to get started? If so, check out the following:

5 stars based on 1 Review
Prep Time:
Cook Time: 2 hours
Difficulty: Easy
1/4 cup mayonnaise
zest of one lemon
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 tablespoon celery seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
pinch of cayenne pepper
1 4-pound chicken, rinsed and patted dry
1 12-ounce can of beer
In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lemon zest, paprika, celery seeds, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Slather the chicken inside and out with mayonnaise mixture, place it in the bowl and let stand in the refrigerator while you prepare the grill.
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for indirect grilling. If using a gas grill, preheat the grill to medium and place a drip pan in the center of the grill. If using a charcoal grill, light the coals. When they are red hot, use tongs to move them into two piles on opposite sides of the grill. Let coals burn until they are covered with a thin layer of gray ash. Set a metal drip pan in the center of the grill between the piles of coals.
When the grill is ready, open the beer can and drink a few sips (or discard). Put the can in the chicken's rear cavity, keeping the can upright. Stand the chicken upright on the grill grate over the drip pan. Cover the grill and cook for 1 1/2- 2 hours or until the chicken is very tender and nearly falling off the bone. (Using charcoal, you will need to add 10 to 12 fresh charcoal briquettes per side after 1 hour.) When done, the internal temperature of the chicken should register 180F on a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh but not touching the bone.
Transfer the chicken to the cutting board or serving platter, taking care not to spill the hot beer. Let the chicken stand for 5 minutes; remove and discard the beer and carve the chicken.

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) -- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football program will wrap up spring practice with the annual Blue and Gold Spring Game at Finley Stadium, but it's unlikely fans will get to see much of what the Mocs have been working on the past six weeks.
With two new coordinators and a variety of key players likely to play just a few snaps, head coach Russ Huesman said the scrimmage's play-calling will be rather vanilla.
"We won't do a whole lot offensively and defensively," Huesman said before Wednesday's final spring workout at Scrappy Moore Field. "We just want to see who can block and tackle and make plays."
It will be the first chance for most fans to see the Mocs this spring since both scrimmages at Finley Stadium were closed to the public.
While UTC's spread offense still has similar concepts from last year's scheme, but will certainly have new wrinkles under new coordinator Jeff Durden that opponents have not yet seen.
The Mocs are also working at a faster tempo to push the pace and get more snaps, so Huesman doesn't want to give anything away before the season starts.
"We can't let anything get out right now. That's why we closed the scrimmages this spring," Huesman said. "When we're out on the practice field, we can monitor who is watching practice and where the cameras are and what they're getting.
"We can still keep people guessing."
That's not to say Huesman isn't promising a fun afternoon for local football fans.
Gates will open at noon for the free event, which will be preceded by a free on-field kids' clinic at 12:15. On-field promotions and giveaways will continue throughout the scrimmage before the team hands out its spring awards to close the day.
"Since I've been here I've wanted to make the spring game an event for people to enjoy coming out and having some fun with our players and get a feel for football again," Huesman said. "Our guys love to work with the kids in the clinic beforehand. It's really just a feel-good day more than anything.
"You hope some of our guys get better because we will put the ball down and snap it and see who can make some plays, but I don't think fans will really see this Saturday what we're going to be doing offensively or defensively in the fall."
