The Pittsburgh Panthers and Syracuse Orange are tied to the Big East for 27 months (well, more like 26 by now) and were supposed to have to pay $5 million in exit fees in order to join the ACC. The West Virginia Mountaineers were looking at the same deal, now that they're on their way to the Big 12 at some point.
But according to Patrick Southern of BlueGoldNews.com, both Pitt and WVU could be looking to pay four times that in order to leave early. Southern reports a $21 million exit fee payment would allow the two schools to leave the Big East well before that 27-month period ends.
No word on if Cuse can expect the same deal, but that'd be pretty dumb if they couldn't, if this is all accurate.
If this is the Big East's plan, it could be one of the few smart moves they've made. They'd get to unload some schools that don't want to stay, add some that do, pick up some cash and completely re-brand during one offseason, instead of morphing over a quarter of a decade into something entirely different.

News: Consequence On Kanye West's Music Absence, "He's In A Good Place"
Monday, Oct 12, 2009 6:00PM
Kanye West associate Consequence recently spoke on the G.O.O.D. Music label head's retreat from the media spotlight as of late and said the rapper has been in a "good place."
From Cons' perspective, Yeezy has been able to rebound from last month's controversial Video Music Awards 2009 outburst.
"He's in a good place [right now]," Consequence, a frequent collaborator whose upcoming Cons TV album is being overseen by West, said in an interview. "We talk every two or three days. I got up with him right after [the VMAs] happened. At the end of the day, MTV has been a great outlet for [Kanye's label] G.O.O.D. Music as a company. Regardless of whatever [else] goes on, there's a great respect there, a great admiration for what the outlet is. We grew up off of that." (MTV)
Various sites have suggested Ye has made a move to India as a result of the incident.
Rumor has it Kanye West is off to India to clear his mind. Just last week he canceled his ambitious "Fame Kills" tour with Lady Gaga. Now the troubled rapper has reportedly booked a month at Hindu guru Sri Aurobindo's ashram in Pondicherry, India. (Prefix Mag)
According to Beyonce, she understood why Kanye took a controversial stance during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech.
"Well, I knew his intentions, and I knew he was standing up for art; and he told me before, when they said the nominees, he's like, 'You have this award,'" Beyonce explained. "And when they didn't call my name he was, like, completely shocked. And when he walked on the stage, I was like, 'No, no, no!' and then he spoke, and I was like, 'Oh, no, no, no!' ... But in the end, it ended up being a great night, and Taylor Swift did get her moment -- and I didn't have to make an acceptance speech." (Billboard)
Memphis Bleek also said Ye should take a break from the music scene.
"It was a little outta line, but then again, that's Kanye," Bleek explained in an interview with radio personality Tim Westwood. "You gotta expect that from him. I don't think he got issues, he never really took the time to deal with the problems in his life. This is his way of venting, like, some people, they lose a lot and a lot of tragic things happen in they life and they spiral outta control and go crazy. I think he realized the breaking point. If you heard his speech on Jay Leno's show, he realized, 'Yo, I need to take some time off and really chill out.' And I felt him, that's real talk, he really do. He's been constantly working for five years straight." (Tim Westwood TV)

Alternative Fuel Vehicle Finance Initiative
In early 2013, C2ES, in partnership with the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) and with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities Program, began a two-year initiative to develop innovative finance mechanisms aimed at accelerating the deployment of AFVs and fueling infrastructure. As part of this initiative, C2ES has assembled an advisory group of experts on AFVs, infrastructure, and finance from the public and private sectors to help guide its work. The AFV Initiative aims to:
- Identify barriers that hinder private sector investment;
- Develop innovative vehicle and infrastructure financing models to make AFVs more accessible to consumers and fleet operators; and
- Stimulate private sector investment in AFVs and associated infrastructure deployment, building upon investments previously made by the public sector.
The initiative's first output was a white paper on the financial barriers. C2ES also finished the first of two case studies on business models that could be applied to the AFV market. The next steps are to finish the second case study and develop business models that state partners can consider piloting at the project's conclusion:
Why focus on AFVs?
Decreasing reliance on petroleum has important economic, security, and environmental benefits for the United States. The nation's dependence on foreign oil comes at a high price. In 2011, the U.S. transportation sector consumed 71 percent of the country's petroleum supplies. Dependence on oil in transportation makes the United States subject to price shocks largely outside of its control since it is a globally priced commodity. Researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory estimate the total economic loss associated with oil dependence in the United States was $2.1 trillion from 2005 to 2010. These economic losses are due to oil price shocks and oil market influence by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). From an environmental perspective, motor vehicles are also responsible for half of smog-forming air pollutants, about 75 percent of carbon monoxide emissions, and more than 20 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
Most AFVs do not rely on petroleum, are more energy efficient than their conventional counterparts, and have lower or no tailpipe emissions. However, market volatility, technological uncertainty, information failures, and regulatory hurdles and uncertainty – each of which can vary by fuel type – have stymied AFV and infrastructure deployment. Recent large investments by the federal government in AFVs and other clean technologies will be winding down in the coming years. New private financing mechanisms are therefore needed to fund these vehicles and associated infrastructure to enable wide-scale adoption.
AFV Advisory Group
C2ES has assembled an advisory group of experts on AFVs, infrastructure, and finance from the public and private sectors to help guide this initiative. The AFV Advisory Group provides valuable expertise on barriers to private investment in alternative fuel vehicles and fueling infrastructure and possible solutions. Members also will help disseminate lessons learned and will work with C2ES and other project partners to implement recommendations, including piloting new business models developed through the initiative. The AFV Advisory Group serves in an advisory capacity only and does not explicitly endorse any project content.
AFV Advisory Group members include:
National Association of State Energy Officials*
New York State Energy Research and Development Authority*
Office of the Oklahoma Secretary of Energy
Transportation Energy Partners*
* Indicates project partner

We recently saw the latest Nets logo design flying around the internet and also read that King addressed the 2012 Nets as the "Brooklyn Nets" but I don't think that confirms anything regarding the new team name. When the Nets enter the 2011 Draft, will their top pick receive a New Jersey Nets jersey or will they surprise the NBA and fans with the new uniform/collateral; the new brand? I wonder.
I think we will see the new brand by the draft. We could get official sneak peeks at whats going to happened as the Nets make their move to Brooklyn. I would also think they would release the new design/name and ideas by draft because of the possible lockout for next season.

Michael Cohen will feel no differently about Russia or the Olympics during the next two weeks than he has for the last 33 years.
In 1980, Cohen was a member of the United States weightlifting team, preparing to go to Moscow for the Olympics, until the U.S. boycotted those Games.
Friday, the Games return to Russia for the first time since 1980, but they won't be bringing Cohen back to that moment with them.
"I made a vow that I was going to keep moving forward and try to accomplish everything that I could,'' said Cohen. "Everything I've accomplished, the Olympics was a starting point, not an ending point.''
Cohen had teammates who have never let go of the pain and anger of a missed opportunity.
But in the years since, he has filled any void he might have felt by coaching in multiple Olympics, walking in the opening ceremonies in 2000 and lighting the Olympic torch in his hometown in 1996. That has made it easier to not look back.
"To me, the 1980 Olympics was unfortunate to say the least, a disaster for many athletes that we'll never hear of that could have been household names,'' says Cohen. " But the reality is, if you live in the past, you die in the past.''
Cohen also believes the Olympics are in his future.
Two of the athletes he trains at the Anderson-Cohen Weightlifting Center are his sons, who are among the top junior lifters in the country.
"I know 2020, 2024 and 2028, God willing, are going to be incredibly exciting,'' he said, "because a Cohen is going to involved.''

If you are like me, you were excited by the concept of putting web content for viewing on your iPhone. For me, this would be especially valuable in Boulder Canyon, where cell phone reception is non-existent, the routes are plentiful, and the current paper guides are either missing information, or inaccurate. I tried a few methods to get the information on the phone, and found the best way to store content was to save the web pages, and use a special application available at the app store to transfer and view the web page on the phone. Here is how: 1) Aquire Air Sharing from the App Store. It is free until Sept. 22, 2008. After that, you must pay $6.99. 2) Open your favourite Mountain project Guide in Safari, and click the "Print a Mini-Guide - Includes Routes!" link. This will prompt you to select routes for you guide, I usually select all. 3) Select "Save as..." from the file menu, and save the "printable page" as a web archive to a local directory. 4) Connect to the Air Sharing Application on your iPhone by creating an ad-hoc network with your computer, or connecting to your wireless network. I found a very good tutorial on how to use Air Sharing here: lifehacker.com/5047136/air-sharing-transfers-files-between-i>>>. 5) Copy the web archives over to the phone. To view your guide, open the air sharing application, and click the webarchive you have saved. One nice thing is that folders work with air sharing, so I tend to create a new folder for each area to keep things organized. In the future, I will probably write some code that can grab the pages automagically from the web and keep a nightly updated archive on my computer which I can "sync" with my iPhone. I'll keep you posted. Don't have a mac? There are a couple of options. Since safari is based on WebKit, if you are running linux, you may be able to use Konquorer (which also uses webkit) to create the web archives. This has not been verified however. If you are on windows, the only course of action is to save the web pages as a PDF. This can be done by "printing" the page to a pdf. There are a number of free pdf printing programs out there. The problem with the pdfs (as I discvoered) is that they are fairly large, and the iPhone cannot handle them in viewing mode. I recommend saving only 3-8 routes per PDF and then it should work fine, depending on the number of photos. This is kind of a pain, but will work. If I get the program working for nightly updates, it will also work with windows. Again, I'll keep you posted. Anyway, let me know if you find this useful! cheers. -chris
Here is a free method for the less technically savvy (like me): 1) Download the free application called YouNote. 2) Using the browser portion of this application, go to MP and take a screenshot of the page(s) you want. You can then name them, and store it for later viewing at the crag. I have used this with reasonable success when I just wanted a few pages. It is a bit tedious, but it's free and idiot-proof. On another note, I went for a night hike last week in an unfamiliar area, and didn't have a trail map. I took a photo of the map at the trailhead sign with my iPhone, and later while on trail was able to view the image and zoom in. Worked like a charm.
Clever, there are other utilities that could do this also: iwebsaver.com/ is another that converts a webpage to a data URL that can be stored as a bookmark. Basically a data URL is an entire webpage encoded into a URL - your bookmarks become the content. This site describes a few methods to do this conversion: blog.clawpaws.net/post/2007/07/16/Storing-iPhone-apps-locall>>> An enhancement COULD be made to MP to do this encoding on-site. Like the "print a mini-guide" link, a link could be generated to "save to iPhone" and then all we'd have to do is just bookmark the MP-generated data URL. The advantage to that is no external software needed, just browse to the page with your phone and bookmark.
Mark, Does that data also include the pictures? -chris
Thanks for posting this. This is a great solution for anyone who has a mobile phone with a browser. Personally, I'm going to stick to using Air Sharing, because it allows me to get everything working on my home computer, and organize my personal guide book with folders, and also pick, and choose elements from the guide book to bring to the crag. cheers. -chris
Are you guys aware that Mountain Project has an iPhone interface specifically for the routes database? www.mountainproject.com/v/mountain_project_news/new_mp_on_yo>>> JL
So maybe I'm stupid but I don't see the link to Print a Mini-guide. Can someone give me a clue? Mal
Admin (Nick), Would it be possible to change some features in MP that wud facilitate better PDF guides like they have on Dr Topo. Currently, the mini-guide prntout is pretty generic, prints all pics & all comments, so pages r v. long. Maybe provide designation of route pics vs glam shots, and allow selection of only route descrption. also good would be a selection of prntng whole area mini guide w/ all crags to one file w/abve selections, so in pretty compact form. Wud hlp desgn/test new features!
Please see our recent mobile app Request For Proposal here: www.mountainproject.com/v/mountain_project_news/request_for_>>>

Sycamore - A South Georgia prison that sat empty for two years is about to house its first inmates and help prepare them for life back in society. The pre-release center in Turner County will house 200 minimum security inmates and open up prison space at maximum security facilities.
Inmates will transfer there two years before their sentence is over. They'll undergo educational classes or workforce training to equip them to deal with life outside prison.
Construction was completed almost two years ago. Governor Sonny Per due is happy the state finally has the money to open it. He says, "We didn't have the money the first couple of years to do the kinds of things we needed to do. I proposed $48 Million in the budget this year, it was approved for these kind of facilities."
Inmates will begin moving into the center next month. Approximately 50 people will work at the facility, which is expected to have a payroll of just under $2 Million.

The offspring of
Halley's Comet are about to put on quite a show in the skies of Half Moon Bay.
Earth will pass through a stream of debris from Halley's Comet beginning today, Oct. 15, which will give us the benefit of the annual Orionids meteor shower—though you probably won't see much until a bit later.
On the Coast, the top of Montara Mountain, Pillar Point Air Force Station above Mavericks Beach in Princeton, and the coastal bluffs by Cowell Beach and the Ritz-Carlton hotel are just a few good viewing spots that come to mind.
The shower should be at its peak the night of Saturday, Oct. 20, until just before dawn on Oct. 21. This year, the moon will be setting at approximately midnight, which will keep the sky darkened enough that—barring fog cover—you should be able to see up to 15 meteors per hour.
What makes this shower so cool? It's a show of shooting stars!
Also, though, there's no question about where to look for this one. Meteor showers get their names from the constellations in the sky where they can be spotted. And what's easier to spot than Orion the Hunter?
The stars tend to shoot from Orion's club, pierce Taurus the Bull, the Gemini twins, Leo the Lion and finally, Canis Major, home of Sirius, the brightest star we can see—well, aside from the sun.
There's also something else that's special about this show: With the second-fastest entry velocity of all the annual meteor showers, meteors from the Orionids produce yellow and green colors and occasionally produce an odd fireball.
To make sure you get the best view possible, remember to check the weather forecast and conditions before you head outside to watch.
Where do you think the best viewing spot is to watch the shower? Tell us in the comments.
If you get any good shots on your camera or phone, share them here by uploading them to this article!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Your staff were excellent, professional, courteous, helpful and everything you could possibly look for.
Anne Marie has been wonderful, dealing with every little niggle I could possibly have had with patience and understanding
and David was fantastic. I have no doubt that without him I could no have relaxed and enjoyed the day as much as I did. His entire focus was on ensuring that we were taken care of, from standing at the door with champagne and canapes, to ensuring that we had time to relax and breathe before the guests came in.
To all of the staff at the Lodge on Loch Lomond we will be eternally grateful.
Thank you forever
Mr and Mrs McAtasney

According to the Danish newspaper Politiken, 11 Danish soldiers from Charlie Company, The Hussar Regiment, are recovering from their injuries at the Camp Bastion field hospital in Helmand province.
The soldiers were wounded during a Taliban attack on Bridzar patrol base, northeast of Gereshk, in advance of a sandstorm. No other details were provided, except that the wounded were evacuated by helicopter, along with two interpreters who were also wounded, after the sandstorm ended.
The news clearly shows Danish troops are suffering physically from their duties in Helmand. Mentally, the combat duties are also taking a heavy toll. In the last 12 months, nine young veterans, all in their 20s, have tried to kill themselves. The suicide attempts raise questions in Denmark over the military's ability to help troops with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Captain Marco Kroon of the Korps Commandotroepen is The Netherlands' most decorated soldier in active service. Kroon served in Bosnia, Cambodia, Iraq and Afghanistan both with regular units and Special Forces. He said that young regular soldiers are more likely to get PTSD than older soldiers and those who serve in the Special Forces.
"In the Commandos, we take at least a year to prepare for war," Kroon said. "In the regular army, troops only train for roughly six weeks before they are sent to the units. Mentally, I think they are less strong. I also think, the younger you are, the more difficult it is to cope with traumatic situations.
That's what I experienced during my career. I used to talk about the things that happened during a mission a lot less than when I was older. When I was young, I thought it was not tough to say, "I'm pretty scared," or, "I was afraid." Now I am older, I find it easier to be open and to say, "I was stressed," or, "I was afraid."

11th Annual Ashley High School Softball Skills Camp
- Details
- Published on Sunday, 24 June 2012 21:13
- Written by Super User
The Ashley softball team hosted the 11th annual skills camp this past week. The girls from Ashley's varsity and junior varsity teams assisted the coaches in instructing 73 girls from around the area in all areas of the game.
Although the rain forced adjustments in the program 3 of the 4 days the girls seem to have a blast. They worked on hitting, bunting, throwing, fielding, pitching and catching and finished off the week learning to slide on a slip and slide tarp. All the girls were soaking wet and grinning.

The North Face Manta Ray 33
4-star: 2
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
You may not be able to fit three people in this "hammerhead"…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $279.99
You may not be able to fit three people in this "hammerhead" style, T-shaped tent, but you will comfortably fit two plus gear in the roomy interior and two vestibules. When I was a car camper, this was and will always be my favorite tent.
- Freestanding (modified dome shape)
- Easy, All-Clip pitch
- Unique, "T" shape design
- Built-in gear loft
- 2 generously-sized vestibules
- Ample storage space
- Buttery-smooth, glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls
- Unzipped vestibules let rain in
- Discontinued model
- TNF footprint hard to find
- Includes 8 Stakes (16 Required)
This is a discontinued model from 2009.
I'm a sucker for them, because I don't like rockin' the same model tent as everyone around me. While individuality is nice, being able to find a footprint is sometimes nicer. Much like the tent, the footprint is out of production. I had to settle for a hardware store tarp, and use the 'ol "fold-'n-tuck" method instead.
Packed Size: 23.5" x 7"
Trail Weight: 6 lbs 7 oz
Total Weight: 6 lbs 13 oz
I have to give TNF a pat on the back for making tents that actually fit in their stuff sacks. I've been able to fold and roll my tent down, successfully, every time. Although the main stuff sack could be considered a "compression" bag, it isn't going to make this tent small enough to fit in your backpack. Split between two packs, however, it may be manageable but bulky. The poles and stakes each come in individual stuff sacks.
Canopy: 40D 210T Nylon Ripstop
Floor: 70D 201T Nylon Taffeta w/ 5000mm PU coating, Fully-Taped Ext. Prayer-Bound
Floor Size: 51.2 sq ft (92" W x 108" L)
Interior Height: 44"
This is a dome-shaped, freestanding tent, easy to pitch even on windy days, and even by one's lonesome.
If the design looks familiar, that's because it is: the basic shape and structure are borrowed from TNF's older, "Peregrine" model.
It's a "T" shape, or as some call it, a "Hammerhead" design.
"33" actually does mean something: the first number denotes the capacity, and the second, the number of poles.
That makes this a 3-person, 3-pole setup.
This model is a definite improvement upon the Peregrine design.
The MR33 uses clips instead of pole sleeves, has an all-mesh canopy, and the vestibules extend outward from the walls (in the Peregrine, they simply spanned the difference between them).
3 DAC Featherlite Poles (8.84mm diameter/ea)
The blue-grey poles are attached first to support the long end of the "T," and the orange pole goes atop it to support the top of the "T."
What really sells me on this model is the "Jake's Foot."
Instead of worrying about pole ends slipping out of their grommets, the ends of these poles are ball-shaped, and they plug into a plastic "socket." Once attached, you can walk around to the other side and plug in the other end. This makes it very easy to assemble, even on windy days.
Another small benefit to using poles with ball-shaped ends? There's no concave surface for dirt to find its way into.
Pole attachment points are on diagonals from another, and I was able to assemble this without any help, straight out of the bag. No instructions included or needed.
Note the color-coding between the rainfly attachment, pole, and canopy attachment. The fabric tabs that the "twist clips" are sewn onto also match the pole colors.
Twist Clips
All clips. No sleeves.
Over time, you'll figure out that positioning certain clips on certain sides of poles will create better tension. But even if you don't, you'll be able to set this up without much explanation at all. Hang the clip at the center (where the blue-grey poles cross) and work your way outward.
STAKES (X8 Included - X16 Required)
DAC Aluminum TNF "J-Stakes"
If you do the math, this tent has 16 TOTAL stake-out points: 8 for the tent, another 2 for the vestibules, and an additional 6 for the rainfly's guy-lines. The 8 this tent came with wouldn't sufficiently pitch this tent: you would have to sacrifice staking-down 2 points on the body to be able to stake the vestibules, which is absolutely necessary. The side vestibules are one of the best features of this tent.
Another note: the stakes provided do NOT have pull loops on them, which makes removal difficult in hard or cold ground. There are holes to tie your own paracord through, however.
Vestibule Area: 27.2 sq. ft. (13.6 + 13.6)
I should make the obligatory mention of their size in practical terms: you can easily rest your pack in the corner, leave your shoes inside on the floor, and still have room to enter and exit the vestibule without compromising the functionality. Heck, if you've a small dog (or two), they could even call it home for the night. On bug-free nights, I roll back the large, D-shape mesh doors and make the interior extra-roomy.
The "wings" of the tent create these nice interior "nightstands," and they are roomy enough to store a pack or duffel. To give ya an idea of interior size: pictured inside are two Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Trekker pads (Regular Size: 72" L x 20" W), which are neither touching the walls nor each other. The picture below is the more "romantic" setup, showing the pads pushed together.
A gear loft is included with the tent, and clipped onto the four gear loops at ceiling level (unclip the loft to use the loops independently and/or to gain more headroom).
It holds a lot. I emptied out all the crap in my pockets into this thing and still had room left up there.
The loft is adjustable and can be raised or lowered to your liking. The adjustment line is also a pretty darn convenient, central place to hang a small lantern.
Additionally, there are built-in pockets on each side of the "T" (behind the duffel bag in the above photo)
...as well as mesh pockets adjacent to the doors, inside the vestibules.
480D 238T Siliconized Nylon w/ 1500mm PU coating
I've had various tents over the years, each with an equally awkward way of attaching the fly to the body (or not). The color coding of this tent comes in handy, here, more than anyplace else. Simply clip the fly onto the plastic Jake's Feet (shown above in the "Poles" section), and gently pull to adjust the tension and tautness of the pitch.
There are two permanent vents built into the rainfly, with a half-hoop-shaped stiffener sewn into them to maintain their rigidity.
Speaking of!
High/Low Ventilation
I'd say more than plenty, and condensation is not a problem I've had with this tent.
Apart from the rainfly vents, the 2 vestibule doors offer a unique high-low combination.
Dual zippers allow you to crack the top of the vestibule door while simultaneously cracking the bottom.
Use the hook sewn onto the bottom flap of the door and attach it to the loop on the back side to keep the vent open while keeping the door shut.
I should add, too, that my past camping trips have always seen my tents completely zipped shut.
On a recent trip, the evening forecast was clear and dry (with highs in the 80's and lows in the 60's), so I did something I never have: rolled back both the vestibule doors and tied them off. Since the vestibules are placed on both sides of the long end of the "T," this routes airflow through the largest section of the tent. The breeze was nice, but looking out through the treetops at the night sky was nicer, still.
I've taken this 3-season tent out for several weekend trips, all of which have had at least one rainy night. One time I took it on a weekend trip to Starved Rock State Park's Campground. We had thunderstorms that night, and the entire day prior brought sustained 40-50MPH winds.
The wind tore the grommets from the tarp I'd hung over the tent and rendered it nothing more than an REI return.
This tent stayed perfectly still. No flapping, no noise, nothing.
How bomber is this tent? I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact they gave a 3-person tent 16 stake-out points, but that's just me.
Another reviewer did point out that - in a rainstorm - the vestibule doors aren't designed to shed water away from the entrances. You could call it a flaw, but I would say that would be up to the discretion of the user. If you're mindful about where the water falls, it's something easy to work around. Support the door as you enter/exit.
We'd severe thunderstorms that night, and it got down to the upper 30's come morning. The only place water came through was on the wall that we both negligently let our feet touch while we slept (nothing to do with the size of the interior and everything to do with how tired we were). No condensation, though!
This tent is my go-to. It is more than enough room for myself and another person, including room for gear and boots. Taking advantage of all the stake out points will result in a bomber pitch. You get a whole lot of bang for your buck with the Manta Ray 33, and really, my only regret was in not buying a second one since this is a discontinued model.
That said, if ever you've the chance to purchase one of these, be sure you do.

Excellent tent except when it rains!! The tent is…
Design: three-season freestanding
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: Very fast and easy
Weight: 6-7 lbs
Price Paid: $500
Excellent tent except when it rains!!
The tent is really water-proof as long as you don't open the doors. The design does not allow the water to go around the doors, it pours directly on you. If the weather is not certain, you can't sleep with those doors open because there's a chance of you waking up all wet!
But, if you use another roof, then you'll be ok.
The «T» shape provides lots of space at the head.

Old Dominion University has selected Ambling Companies Inc. to develop and construct about 300 units of student housing in the university's University Village redevelopment project.
The units will accommodate about 1,000 students, with the first phase of the two-phase project slated for completion in 2003.
The 450,000-square-foot project will be financed through the use of tax-exempt bonds.
"Ambling is a proven leader in the field of university housing," explained Robert L. Fenning, Old Dominion's vice president for administration and finance. "They have an impressive portfolio, but more importantly, the students who live in their properties are pleased with their 'home-away-from-home,' and that's what we want for our students."
Ambling operates residential facilities at universities across the nation including the University of Maryland, University of Delaware, Marshall University and Florida A & M University.
"We are very proud to be partnering with Old Dominion University on such a unique and exciting project," said to Greg Blais, vice president of university development for Ambling. "The multiple components of the new University Village make it a rare opportunity for all team members associated with the project. We are very grateful to ODU for selecting Ambling to be the developer of choice on this endeavor that will most certainly be a prototype for university housing nationwide."
Ambling will oversee site demolition and the construction of the apartment-style units over the next two-and-a-half years.
Old Dominion's 75-acre University Village will consist of 10 buildings plus a 50,000 square-foot retail component. This space will include a police substation, campus art gallery and state-of-the-art fitness facility. At the centerpiece of the Village is the new Constant Convocation Center, which is slated to open this fall. Other features of the Village, in addition to student housing, are a 120,000-square-foot shopping center, roughly 300,000 square feet of office/commercial space and a structured parking area.

Gold was under pressure in Asia Tuesday on modest profit-taking, with investors reluctant to place aggressive bets ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy-setting meeting that starts later in the global day.
Spot gold was at $1,709.30 a troy ounce, down $3.30 from its previous close.
Analysts said that the yellow metal is unlikely to push higher as investors will be looking for any hint on the duration of the Fed's bond-buying program, which has been open-ended to boost economic growth in the world's largest economy.
"Investors are waiting for the outcome of the FOMC [Federal Open Market Committee] meeting," Ronald Leung, a director with Lee Cheong Gold Dealers in Hong Kong, said.
He expects gold to keep trading between $1,690/oz and $1,725/oz in the near-term.
In a report, Triland Metals analysts said, "most players seem to be expecting more monetary stimulus of one sort or another" from the Fed, and that "if this is not forthcoming then pressure may be brought to bear on gold and silver."
Increased liquidity is usually beneficial for the yellow metal as some consider it to be a store of value and hedge against inflation.
"Momentum is on the side of the market after four days of gains, but much will hinge on the FOMC and its decision on what to do once Operation Twist comes to an end," ANZ said in a report.
Operation Twist is the Fed's inflation-resistant Treasury purchasing program, which involves selling short-term Treasurys and purchasing of longer-dated Treasury debt. The operation ends later this month.
Meanwhile, spot silver was at $33.07/oz, down 20 cents.
ANZ noted that the metal appears "bullish" on charts with an initial target of $33.44/oz.
In other precious metals, spot platinum was at $1,614.50/oz, down $5.50, and palladium was at $696.70/oz, down 30 cents.

From RTT, citing Kiffy's Twitter feed:
looking forward to another great practice today and a huge game saturday...also a huge shout-out to Lil Wayne for boosting our street cred!
Can you think of anything piss-your-pants funnier than Lane Kiffin talking about street cred?
Some quick facts from a brotha': First, Lane's upbringin' was hard, so so hard that he grewing up in the suburbs surrounded by the blue-eyed devils of other privileged, white elite kids (with a dad coaching college and pros since Methuselah). But, man, those streets got him down...Gary? Newark? East St. Louis? Atlanta? Sh**. They ain't nothin' like Bloomington, MN. You know he's gotta' eat, and what better way to put shoes on the baby's feet than earning his degree in "Leisure Services Management" at Fresno State.
Street creds, yo, street creds. And a "shout-out" to you, Lane.

Makes me feel sad that I've not had my faith rewarded after getting the console at launch, especially given that I did the same with the 3ds. I really thought Nintendo would have learned from their mistakes on that one, they certainly gave the impression that they had. It's 3 months later now and where are the games? It baffles me how little effort Nintendo are putting into making this console's 'launch window' a success. No marketing and a distinct lack of confirmed release dates for key titles only gives me the impression that they rushed the launch in order to be first to the punch. It seems really short-sighted and just means that anyone who feels stung in the pocket like myself will be much less inclined to buy any future console at launch. At least with the 3ds we got some free games out of it. These latest cuts weren't even instigated by them so the likelihood is we'll get nothing.
I have no doubt that the console will ultimately prove it's worth when e big-hitters arrive. I just feel a bit stupid for getting caught up in the pre-launch hype and paying full whack to play what has amounted to a couple of decent games (not really interested in any of the ports, already have a 360). Take note Nintendo; making your customer-base feel stupid isn't good marketing strategy.

JELLICO (WATE) – People lined up across East Tennessee for the chance to win a record-breaking Powerball jackpot of $550 million.
Even people who have already one a previous Powerball prize.
Two years ago Suzette Davenport won big off her lucky numbers.
"It was a blessing, it was a blessing," Davenport said.
She remembers the morning her husband told her they won four of the five numbers plus the Powerball.
"I was in the kitchen doing breakfast and he started saying we won, uh oh, we won another number, another number, I was thinking ok, and my heart starting doing [flips], I went in shock," she said.
Although faded, she still has her winning $10,000 ticket, and she still plays the same numbers every week.
"Faithful, twice a week, same numbers."
Last time around she was only one number off from winning the $47 million jackpot but says the $10,000 was a pretty good consolation prize.
"We paid off debts and went on vacation. We did some things we wanted to do and it made life more comfortable," Davenport said.
She remembers calling into work the day she won.
"I called into work that day and still couldn't talk and it was a good feeling calling in to work today because I have to go collect my lottery winnings," laughing as she recalled the memory.
Davenport still works for the state tourism board but says if she wins again, she says she's out of here.
"Hopefully I'll catch the first flight out of Jellico and go to Nashville."
But even if her numbers don't match the winning $550 million drawing, she'll continue playing ever week hoping that luck will strike the Davenport family once again.

Stocks are turning higher on Wall Street, reversing an early loss.
The advance halted two days of steep declines caused by concern that political wrangling in Washington could push the U.S. economy back into recession.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 48 points at 12,859 as of midday. It was down as much as 67 in the first half-hour of trading.
The market is coming off its worst two-day slide in a year. The Dow average plunged 434 since President Barack Obama won re-election as investors turned their focus to a deadline at the end of the year for Congress to act on reducing the budget deficit.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index advanced nine points to 1,386 and the Nasdaq composite climbed 24 points to 2,919.

Soon to be released on world famous Cheese Factory Records.
(Singing) Take the good, take the bad, take the gold and there you have
Facts of life, the facts of life
The obnoxious model-beating lead vocalist of a certain
chart-topping heavy metal glam-rock band, although he can't be
named for legal reasons, he sings your favorite mid-80's TV theme songs.
(Singing in the background)
Now the world don't move to the beat of just one drum
What might be right for you, might not be right for some
(Singing) Different strokes, different strokes to the world
Including that irresitable ditty.
(Singing) Charles in charge, of our days, and our nights
Available exclusively on Cheese Factory Records.

European badgers are omnivores. They are powerfully built mammals that have a short, fat body and short, sturdy legs well suited for digging. The bottoms of their feet are naked and they have strong claws that are elongated with a sharp end honed for digging. They have small eyes and small ears and a long head. Their skull is is heavy and elongated and they have an oval braincase. Their fur is greyish and they have black faces with white stripes on thei top and sides of their face and neck.
ropean badgers are social animals that live in colonies of 6 to 20 individuals. European badgers are burrowing mammals that create a network of underground tunnels known as a sett or den. Some setts are large enough to house more than a dozen badgers and can have tunnels that are as much as 1000 feet long with numerous openings. Badgers excavate their setts in well drained soils that are easy to dig in. The tunnels are between 2 two 6 feet beneath the surface of the ground and the badgers often construct large chambers that they can sleep in or care for young.
When digging tunnels, badgers create large mounds outside the entry way. By placing entrances on slopes, the badgers can let push the debris down the hill and away from the opening. They do the same when cleaning out their set, pushing bedding matterial and other waste out and away from the opening. Groups of badgers are known as colonies and each colony may construct and use several different setts throughout their territory.
The sets they use depend on the distribution of food resources within their territory as well as whether or not it is breeding season and young are to be raised in the set. Setts or sections of setts not used by badgers are sometimes occupied by other animals such as foxes or rabbits. European badgers are nocturnal and spend much of the day light hours in their setts.
Like bears, badgers experience winter sleep, during which time they become less active but their body temperature does not drop as it does in full hibernation. In late summer, badgers begin to gain the weight they will need to power themselves through their winter sleep period.
European badgers do not have many predators or natural enemies. In some parts of their range, wolves, dogs and lynxes pose a threat. In some areas, European badgers live side-by-side other predators such as foxes without conflict.
Their popultion has been increasing throughout their range since the 1980s. They were once threatened by rabies and tuberculosis.

Follow @eFatwa
The Imaam remembered he had not prayed the 'Asr prayer
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
The Imaam led the Maghrib prayer and during the prayer he remembered he had not prayed the 'Asr prayer, so what should he do?
This Imaam, who forgot the 'Asr prayer and began the Maghrib prayer and thereafter remembered during the prayer he had not prayed [the] 'Asr [prayer] should continue with the Maghrib prayer. Upon completing the [Maghrib] prayer he should [then] perform the 'Asr prayer and in this situation his 'Asr prayer will be correct.
This ruling is general, even if one was praying alone, because if a person begins an obligatory prayer then he is required to complete it unless he has an Islaamically acceptable reason not to do so.

The Taste of Teesdale Festival in the grounds of the magnificent Raby Castle, became a shop window for the area's abundance of fine food, drink on Sunday 20th July. Visitors were able to meet local producers and engage in demonstrations on making bread, cheese and jam, even landscape photography. For those able to tear themselves away from the demos, there were lots tasters, and opportunities for lunch from venison burgers to curry, from hot samosas to traditional teas provided by the Raby Castle tearoom, not forgetting the ever-popular man crèche.
Inside the stables, local crafts included walking stick making, wood turning, children's crafts, felt making and our very own potter's wheel. By midday crowds were enjoying entertainment provided by the Farmyard Flyer, a double-decker bus containing, pigs, sheep, goats and chickens. Children also enjoyed horse riding, while dog training and duck racing took center stage in a specially created coral.
The event now in its second year was professionally managed by Raby Castle and the team from Barnard Castle Farmers' Market. To end the day, Tracy Chappell from Bishop Auckland picked up the luxury hamper in the free to entre prize draw.

Tucson, AZ (KOLD) - The murder trial of border militia activist Shawna Forde went to the jury late Thursday night.
Lawyers for both sides made their closing arguments Thursday afternoon after about two weeks of testimony.
Forde herself did not take the witness stand.
Prosecutors say Forde led a May 2009 home invasion in Arivaca that killed 29-year-old Raul Flores and his nine-year-old daughter, Brisenia.
The girl's mother, Gina Gonzalez, also was shot, but survived.
She testified at Forde's trial.
During closing arguments, defense attorney Eric Larsen told the jury the state did not provide any evidence tying Forde to the crime.
"There's no evidence. She's a wraith. She is a ghost. She moves without leaving evidence," Larsen said.
Prosecutor Rick Unklesbay told jurors that Forde not only was there, but she planned the whole thing.
"No one is saying that Shawna Forde pulled the trigger at one o'clock in the morning on the 30th of May, but make no mistake about it, she was the one who planned this event. She was the one who recruited the people to do this, and she went in there with them," Unklesbay said.
Forde is charged under Arizona's felony murder law.
If she's convicted of one or both of the felony murder charges, she could be sentenced to death.
Two others suspects in the case will be tried separately.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Madison County sheriff's deputies are searching the Flint River for clues in last month's homicides of six people along the Tennessee-Alabama state line.
WAFF-TV reports a crew from the television station saw investigators pull something from the water on Friday morning. Later in the day, the investigators were using long sticks and paddles to search the water.
Three women and a toddler were found dead at two homes in Fayetteville, TN, on Oct. 22. The following day, authorities found the bodies of Jeffrey Pope and Warren Vincent Crutcher at separate locations in Madison County.
Police have said Crutcher had former or current relationships with the three women and was an acquaintance of the man.
No one has been charged in the case.

i did find amusement in angel garcia's original comments at the first press conference...i didn't think he was disrespectful about it. he didn't call judah a bum or any of that...he just stated fact. i get it...judah was pissed. he reacted and took it to the streets so to speak. that whole ordeal has now blown out of proportion and it's looking highly likely something will go down at tomorrows fight no matter who wins. that's that...no undoing it. god forbid something bad happens tomorrow...and ppl get hurt...it's a black eye for the sport.
now we have malignaggi/broner talking shit to each other...and squaring up and all of that. some of what was said was comical...but i'm seeing a trend here that i think needs to stop real soon. with everyone trying to out-do everyone...and pencil necks with cameras calling themselves jouranalist eggin them on...this is going to take a wrong turn across the board. boxing imo is a classy sport. there's nothing wrong with a little shit talk to sell the fight but in this day and age with social media and everyone with a camera trying to be a reporter....shit is gonna be hitting the fan on the regular. boxing is out of the mainstream already...but encouraging...or keeping this shit alive by giving videos hits and what not is only going to further damage boxings' image.
promoters need to take notice and maybe start including clauses in contracts that limit some of the shit for damage control. not all publicity is good publicity. i know floyd feels like if they're talking about him...good or bad...it's good because it means money for him. he may be the exception. i don't believe that's going to be the case for everyone else. and while hbo was quick to jump on broners jock and sell him as the next floyd mayweather because he's trying to use the same blue print...this kid hasn't accomplished a fraction of what floyd has. maybe al haymon needs to reel some of these guys in and let them earn their way to the top so to speak.
the sports image is very important when u consider it takes money from sponsors to make a lot of this shit happen.
am i alone on this view? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I wouldn't mind shit talking as long as it doesn't get physical, leave the punches in the ring.
Whatever it is that Broner does to get more attention is usually corny to me. Sometimes he gets a funny joke here and there but other than that he's just a bad actor. Whats good with him moving to 147? Does he plan on going back to 140 soon? He couldn't just have blatantly duck a whole weight class like that and fight Paulie for the belt at 147 and stay there, could he have? He better hope Paulie don't get Marquez's strength trainer, haha Paulie with some KO power would be alil dangerous....To each his own i guess.

Oakland Raiders
Matt Flynn - #15 - QB
|6' 2"/ 225 lbs.
|Tyler, TX
|Years played
|2008, 7th round, 2nd pick by Packers
AFC West free-agent preview
With the owners and players mired in negotiations, the beginning of free agency is almost certain to be delayed. Yet, PFW is examining the free-agent picture for each club, here featuring the AFC West.
Report: Raiders sign DT Henderson to two-year extension
While other teams look to limit their financial obligations to players with a lockout looming, the Raiders continued to spend Thursday, reportedly signing DT John Henderson to a two-year, $8 million deal.
Report: Raiders apply franchise tag to OLB Wimbley
The Raiders reportedly have placed the franchise tag on OLB Kamerion Wimbley, just hours before the window to tag players closed.
Report: Raiders extend CB Routt
The Raiders have signed CB Stanford Routt to a contract extension, according to NFL Network's Jason La Canfora.
AFC West 2010 season-in-review team reports
Matt Cassel had a sparkling 27-7 touchdown-to-interception ratio in directing the Chiefs to a surprising first-place finish in the AFC West.
Raiders TE Miller in 'wait-and-see mode'
With a lockout threatening to delay the start of free agency, Raiders TE Zach Miller told PFW he's in "wait-and-see mode" regarding his future in Oakland.
Report: Raiders re-sign DL Seymour, to franchise TE Miller
DL Richard Seymour reportedly has agreed to a multiyear deal with the Raiders, which will allow the team to place the franchise tag on TE Zach Miller.
Woodson hired as Raiders DB coach
Hall of Fame DB Rod Woodson has been hired by the Raiders as the team's new secondary coach.
Raiders RB Bush arrested for drunk driving
Raiders RB Michael Bush was arrested early Saturday for drunk driving, according to WLKY.com. He was arrested in Indiana at about 4:30 a.m.
Raiders to franchise DT Seymour
The Raiders are expected to use the franchise tag on DT Richard Seymour, for whom they gave up their first-round draft choice this year.
Raiders hire Biekert as LB coach
Former Raiders LB Greg Biekert will remain in the silver and black, joining Hue Jackson's staff in Oakland as the team's linebackers coach.
Re-signing Wimbley on Raiders' to-do list
OLB Kamerion Wimbley had one of the best seasons of his five-year career after being traded from the Browns to the Raiders for a third-round pick last offseason.
Vikings' Madieu Williams named Walter Payton Man of the Year
Vikings S Madieu Williams was named the 2010 recipient of the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.
Bresnahan returns to Raiders
New Raiders head coach Hue Jackson has added another assistant, naming Chuck Bresnahan the team's defensive coach. It is Bresnahan's second stint with the Raiders.
Raiders hire Wylie to coach O-line
The Raiders hired veteran coach Bob Wylie to be the team's new offensive line coach. Wylie has been coaching professional football for 18 years.
The Raiders acquired Seattle backup Matt Flynn on Monday for draft picks, bringing an end to Carson Palmer's brief tenure as starter in Oakland even before they are done paying the steep price they dealt to acquire him.||||||| Flynn, a backup in college at LSU to former Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell, has started just two games in five seasons as a pro. But it's those brief appearances that intrigue many NFL teams. He threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns in a loss at New England in place of an injured Aaron Rodgers late in the 2010 season. He then started the regular-season finale the following season, going 31 for 44 for 480 yards and six touchdown passes in a 45-41 win over D
Flynn will be the Seattle backup to rookie Russell Wilson after Seahawks coach Pete Carroll announced that Wilson will start the club's opener. Wilson being named the starter leaves Flynn on the sidelines and according to Carroll understandably disappointed.||||||| Flynn was Seattle's big free-agent splash in the offseason and the most highly sought after quarterback not named Manning after spending the last few seasons as Aaron Rodgers backup in Green Bay. But Flynn failed to show the same flashes as Wilson during his two preseason opportunities and sat out the game in Kansas City with a sore elbow. Fantasy owners have to be kicking themselves now if they picked up the overhyped Flynn.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll announced on Tuesday that Russell Wilson will start against Kansas City on Friday so there is speculation that Flynn could be the backup to the rookie.||||||| Flynn has struggled in the preseason and could easily lose the job that seemed to easily be his if he doesn't get his act together. Fantasy owners should monitor the situation closely.
Matt Flynn will get his second straight preseason start for the Seattle Seahawks with rookie Russell Wilson expected to play the second half on Saturday in Denver.||||||| Flynn was efficient, going 11 of 13 for 71 yards and an interception against Tennessee. Wilson was 12 of 16 for 124 yards, one touchdown passing and one rushing.
Flynn says it was made completely clear before he agreed to join the Seattle Seahawks that he was going into an open competition with incumbent Tarvaris Jackson for the starting quarterback job.||||||| Flynn said during a conference call on Monday that when he visited with the Seahawks late last week, the entire situation felt comfortable and felt like the team was moving in the right direction. Flynn chose the Pacific Northwest over the chance to be reunited with former Green Bay offensive coordinator Joe Philbin in Miami, where Philbin is the Dolphins' new head coach.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - A South Dakota legislative committee has approved the state Health Department's plan for a revamped program that will help recruit health care professionals to rural communities.
The program was approved by the Legislature earlier this year. The Legislature's Rules Review Committee has now endorsed the state Health Department's rules for operating the program.
Nurses, pharmacists and others get an incentive payment of $10,000 if they agree to practice for at least three years in a rural hospital, nursing home or other facility taking part in the program.
In communities with populations of less than 2,500, the state will pay 75 percent of the incentive while the facility pays the other 25 percent. In communities with populations ranging from 2,500 to 10,000, the state and the facility will each pay half.

text: So the first episode of Australia's Next Top Model Cycle 6 has bitten the dust. What did you think? At last week's launch party, Alex Perry told frockwriter that the shooting style was going to be a little more "reportage" style than in previous years and you could see what he meant. It seemed a little grittier, almost a hand-held effect in parts. Influenced, we reckon, by the first blockbuster season of US reality series Jersey Shore. Interesting challenge to make the girls walk a runway show on their first day at the office. With zero experience, they did pretty well from what we could see. Inspired by another cult US series, Mad Men, the Jez Smith photoshoot produced some quite beautiful images. Here is a selection of frockwriter's faves. Sadly, three of our picks were eliminated in the first episode: Alison (top), Valeria (second) and Sally (fourth). New model mentor Josh Flinn made a great entrance. For anyone unfamiliar with Flinn's CV, FYI he used to work for IMG Fashion Asia Pacific and his night job is playing B2, in the Bananas in Pyjamas travelling roadshows. Here is an interview I did with him back in 2006 at RAFW.

Help! My daughter has an official visit to USNA in a week and I think she should wear a pant suit the first day, dress pants and a basic (classic) button shirt the other two days. She had picked out "skinny" dress pants. Both her Dad and I were in the Navy and our feeling is she should look the part. She has been invited by the women's rowing coach.
Thank you!

In today's (6/27) Baseball Today podcast, ESPN's analysts Peter Pascarelli and Eric Kausilius addressed Morgan's comments on the basket at Wrigley. You can D/L the podcast from here if you're interested. They didn't say much, its about 16 minutes into it, they read an email from a Giants fan coming out to Wrigley for the Cubs/Giants series and asked for tips about Wrigley (what to do, etc):
Peter: Get there early if you're sitting in the bleachers so you can sit near the basket and grab cheap home runs....
Eric: You hear about the "cheap home run thing" that Joe Morgan said, right?
Peter: Yeah I think he was misunderstood a tad.
Eric: You understood the intention?
Peter: He wasn't dissing Ernie Banks. Its just a fact of life, its the ball park. You play to the ball park. Jim Edmonds has hit 6 home runs there, 5 of them to the opposite field at Wrigley Field. He has his swing grooved that way, which is the right way to play. Its no cheaper than the left center field in Philadelphia, its just the way the park is built. They didn't criticize Babe Ruth in Yankee Stadium when they built him a right field porch. So Joe certainly wasn't dissing Ernie Banks, I know some of the blogosphere is saying that, that was hardly the case. He was just saying you can hit a cheap home run at Wrigley, its not exactly a revelation.
So, there you go. Make of it what you will. The transcipt was done by me, so if its inaccurate, I'm very sorry. Edited for clarity.
