State senator sues over NCAA use of Penn State fineJanuary 5, 2013 12:00 AM
Share with others:
A state senator on Friday filed a lawsuit asking the Commonwealth Court to stop the NCAA in its plan to spend proceeds from a $60 million fine against Penn State University on child-abuse groups around the nation.
The state lawsuit is unrelated to the suit Gov. Tom Corbett announced this week asking the federal courts to throw out the NCAA sanctions resulting from the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case. The fine is one of several NCAA sanctions Penn State agreed to in July.
In the new suit, Sen. Jake Corman, R-Centre and chairman of the Appropriations Committee, argues the NCAA plan for the fine would violate state appropriations laws.
Mr. Corman said in late December that he would introduce legislation to limit proceeds from the fine to Pennsylvania organizations. He said he would file a lawsuit to prevent the NCAA from acting before his proposal could become law.
The university has set aside the first $12 million installment of the fine while an NCAA task force establishes an endowment.education - state - psusports

The 32-year old ban — whose loosening is being pushed by Bush's FCC chairman — is meant to "keep major media companies from monopolizing newspapers and broadcasters in their market."
Senators propose ban on easing media-ownership rules.

Give hope of a sponsor-lined future to a frosty-fingered ripper—give the Vent.
For just pennies a day, the Burton Kids' Vent Mitten can preserve the warmth of a little shredder's hands with waterproof breathable Dryride Ultrashell fabric and Thermacore insulation. In small resorts across the globe the digits of tiny chargers are soaked and sweaty without the protection of Burton's Insane Membrane or the temperature control of a combination venting and heater pocket. Everyday grabs are missed, and ratcheting buckles go loose because their hands have never known the comfort or dexterity of a pre-curved Pistol Grip fit. Won't you help put this smooth, brushed microfiber lining and reinforced Toughgrip Palm on the hands of a needy grom?

My daughter is just learning to ski and wants purple gloves. Even though these gloves are recommended for snowboarding, is there any reason she can't use them for skiing? Thanks! Melanie

They will be fine for skiing. The only downside to mitts is a little bit less dexterity which may affect her use of or grip on ski poles but not very much.

These gloves will be great for your young one. Enjoy...

Japan will resume purchases of U.S. western-white wheat, lifting a two-month ban on the grain imposed after the discovery of unapproved gene-altered crop on an Oregon farm, said the agriculture ministry. Futures climbed.
"We will restart tenders to import western-white wheat on Aug. 1, while purchases of soft-white wheat for livestock feed are planned to resume on Aug. 7," said spokesman Fumihiro Michikura by phone today. Both types are grown in Oregon, where the GM wheat developed by Monsanto Co. was found.
A resumption of Japanese purchases may support wheat futures in Chicago, which have lost 15 percent this year on prospects for abundant global production, said Takaki Shigemoto, an analyst at JSC Corp. in Tokyo. The action also eased food industry concerns about short supply, as Japan depends on imports for almost 90 percent of its wheat, he said. Western- white wheat is used in Japan for production of cakes and cookies.
Japan established a system to detect the unapproved strain before shipment from the U.S., said Sunao Orihara, director for grain trade and operation of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. The health ministry will also test U.S. wheat cargoes upon arrival to confirm supplies aren't tainted.
The country is seeking to buy 89,579 metric tons of U.S. western-white wheat in the tender on Aug. 1, the agriculture ministry said today in a statement. Wheat for delivery in September on the Chicago Board of Trade gained 1.1 percent to $6.5875 a bushel at 4:17 p.m. in Tokyo.
Japan's food-safety law bans sales of food containing GM crops that haven't been confirmed safe by the nation's health ministry. Contaminated supplies must be shipped back to exporting countries or disposed of.
The agriculture ministry bought 23,963 tons of club wheat grown in neighboring Washington state, 1,710 tons of U.S. soft- red winter, and 1,497 tons of Australian premium-white in a tender on July 11 as alternatives to the Oregon wheat.
Monsanto and the U.S. Department of Agriculture are investigating how a gene-altered plant that hasn't been approved for commercial use was found on the Oregon farm eight years after nationwide field tests ended. After the USDA's May 29 announcement, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan suspended some U.S. wheat purchases. South Korea and Taiwan have resumed buying.

Conservators agree tractor purchase (From Worcester News)

Conservators agree tractor purchase
2:09pm Monday 27th January 2014 in News
MALVERN Hills Conservators has agreed to buy a new tractor to help with its work of maintaining the hills and commons.
At a meeting of the board, members heard that the tractor currently being used has done some 3,600 hours of work.
In a report, operations manager Paul Sunders said the tractor, a Massey Ferguson 4355, is used for mowing, flailing and operating the cut-and-collect and chipper machines.
He said that after tractors reach 3,000 hours they start to need expensive maintenance and repair work.
The tractor needs four new tyres at a cost of £2,480, and it is likely to need other work, including a new clutch at about £1,000.
At present the old tractor will attract a trade-in price of £15,000, and a new tractor of similar model would cost £45,000.
A newer tractor would also feature air conditioning, which will improve the working conditions for field staff, who can spend up to seven hours per day in the cab during the summer.
Board member Chris Rouse urged officers to shop around, saying: "Many of the tractor manufacturers have been bringing their prices down recently."
The board agreed on the purchase, with the money coming out of the board's general funds.

The San Marino Unified School District announced at Tuesday night's board meeting that retiring Huntington Middle School principal Dave Murray will be succeeded by Jason Kurtenbach, effective July 1.
Kurtenbach is currently an Assistant Principal at Santa Monica High School, where he serves as a House Principal in charge of one of the divisions – called "houses" – of the school. He has played a key role in every aspect of the school's administration, curriculum, program development, teacher support and evaluation, and fund raising, according to his credentials. He also oversees the school's athletic programs.
Kurtenbach originally hails from Nebraska, where he received his undergraduate degree in journalism in 1997 from the University of Nebraska. He began his career in Southern California as a middle school teacher in Lennox and La Puente. He next served as assistant principal at two middle schools in Torrance, where he was also the principal of the special education summer school at a third middle school.
Kurtenbach earned Masters of Arts in Education and Masters of Science in Administrative Leadership degrees from Pepperdine University in 2000 and 2005, respectively. He is currently pursuing a doctorate degree in educational leadership, administration and policy from Pepperdine. Kurtenbach is married and has a son in middle school.
Kurtenbach, his wife Beth and son Sage were present at Tuesday night's Board meeting, where they were introduced by Superintendent Loren Kleinrock.
Kurtenbach will immediately begin spending time at Huntington, as he prepares to assume the helm from Murray, who has been a fixture at Huntington for the past 39 years.

The results for the first four years of the Department of Health's mandatory Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA) surveillance system in acute Trusts in England have been published on the Department of Health and Health Protection Agency websites.
MRSA bacteraemia numbers and rates by individual Trusts are now available for each six month period from October 2005 to March 2005, on the Department of Health website at: (www.dh.gov.uk). The Health Protection Agency's website contains a summary of the national and regional reports submitted to the HPA on behalf of the Department of Health (http://www.hpa.org.uk/infections/topics_az/staphylo/data.htm). There is also a report on the first four years of the S. aureus mandatory surveillance scheme in this issue of CDR Weekly (see Bacteraemia section).
Saving Lives Launch
The Department of Health have launched a new delivery programme to reduce healthcare associated infection (HCAI) including MRSA.
The strategy includes a delivery programme aiming to support NHS Trusts in reducing healthcare associated infections such as MRSA, which emphasises the changes in the acute hospital setting as a priority area. The programme is designed to help Trusts embed infection control across each ward, department or unit, through the use of clinical interventions and an action planning tool. There are five high-impact interventions at the heart of the programme. These are simple evidence based tools that reinforce the practical actions clinical staff need to take to significantly reduce HCAI.
Further information on Saving Lives can be found at:
Public Accounts Committee Report: Improving Patient Care by Reducing the Risk of Hospital Acquired Infection
The House of Commons' Committee of Public Accounts has published the report Improving Patient Care by Reducing the Risk of Hospital Acquired Infection: a progress report. This examined the progress made by the Department of Health and NHS Trusts in reducing the risks of hospital acquired infection since the original report by the Controller and Auditor General on this topic in 2000. The Committee is critical of progress made in implementing many of its predecessor's recommendations in terms of extending surveillance of hospital acquired infection, ward cleanliness, compliance with hand hygiene improving isolation facilities, and reducing bed occupancy rates.
Further information on this Public Accounts Committee report can be found at
The Northern Ireland Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS) has published a major strategic report to co-ordinate, underpin and enhance arrangements for the prevention and control of healthcare associated infections (HCAI), particularly those associated with hospitals.
The report builds on a range of initiatives which had been undertaken in recent years in Northern Ireland and which have included: Controls Assurance Standards in infection control; the introduction of mandatory surveillance of MRSA bacteraemia, Clostridium difficile and orthopaedic surgical site infection; and the development of infection control training materials. Development of the strategy involved evaluating current regional and Trust HCAI surveillance programmes and consultation with front line clinical staff, Trust medical directors, infection control teams, Consultants in Communicable Disease Control, Directors of Public Health and the Health and Social Services Councils who represent the interests of the public. The strategy was also informed by approaches taken by the other United Kingdom health departments and evidence of good practice from elsewhere.
Key elements in the strategy:
The strategy has been issued for a three month public consultation period and is available from the DHSSPS website at < http://www.dhsspsni.gov.uk/publications/2005/prevention-of-HCAIs.pdf >.

Between 14 and 28 May 2005, one member of staff and seven of 35 residents of an old people's residential care home developed respiratory infections with fever and respiratory symptoms. Four residents subsequently died. The Health Protection Unit (HPU) was informed on 1 June 2005 and investigated the incident with the assistance of local general practitioners, environmental health officers and the medical microbiologist from the local acute Trust.
Three residents had urine tests for legionella and pneumococcal serology. All three tested negative for Legionella antigen and two tested positive for pneumococcal antigen, suggesting that the organism causing the infections was the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae.
The following case definitions were used:
Figure 1 Date of onset of respiratory illness among cases (n=14). Care home in London in May 2005
Of the 35 elderly residents, only four had previously been vaccinated against pneumococcus (including one confirmed and two possible cases). Control measures included temporary closure to new admissions while this incident was being investigated, and pneumococcal vaccination for all residents and members of staff in risk groups. Management at the care home was advised on infection control measures and information provided to staff, residents, and relatives. The last case occurred more than two weeks ago. The HPU was satisfied that all necessary control measures had been instituted and the home was allowed to reopen.
This outbreak clearly highlights the importance of vaccination for at risk communities, such as those at care homes.

It's not every day you have to beg people to accept money, but Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is doing just that.
"Please, please, take advantage of this money," she said.
Bondi helped negotiate a $25 billion nationwide foreclosure fraud settlement with five banks. The banks are accused of making loans they knew borrowers couldn't afford, and then using illegal practices to snatch houses in foreclosure.
Florida received about $8 billion in the settlement. Of that, $170 million was set aside for cash payments to those who lost their homes with those banks. But only about half of those eligible for the money have applied.
"You could be entitled to up to several thousand dollars," Bondi said.
In order to qualify, you must have lost your home between January of 2008 and December of 2011, and your mortgage must have been with one of these 5 banks.
Since Bondi's Tampa visit last week, the number of homeowners applying is ticking up, but time is running out. The deadline is Feb. 15.
Foreclosure defense attorney Charles Gallagher says many people aren't applying because they don't believe the offer. "I think people are leery of anything that comes on a bank letterhead. There have been so many offers of help that have never been successful," he said.
Gallagher says he recommends anyone who was foreclosed on during this time period apply for the money. You may qualify and not even know it.
"Whether it's enough to compensate people for losing their home, absolutely not," Gallagher said. "I think it falls far short of being appropriate, but none-the-less, it's worth at least a glossing of the application period."
You can call the Florida Attorney General's hotline at 850-414-3990 for more information on how to apply, or follow this link: National Mortgage Settlement.

Final call for scmdraft
Topic LockedTopic Locked
We're all searching for someone whose demons play well with ours
Who cares about compatibility with other editors?
Your current version isn't even fully compatible due to string recycling, so there isn't much lost.
And if you create the ultimate editor nobody is going to use another editor, so problem solved by itself.
1-2 years ago Starforge was an option for some, but since you're still working on ScmD there's almost no reason left to use anything else. I say do what you can for ScmDraft and monopolize map making. We'll all benefit from it.
An artist's depiction of an Extended Unit Death
Switching between the text trigger editor and the classic one has two annoyances. First, the text trigger editor doesn't carry some information regarding "Create Unit With Properties" (example: Can't copy/paste invincible hallucination actions). Second, any EUD unit value is read as "Invalid Unit" in the text editor, and is automatically set to UnitID:228 after saving.
Another one for EUDs: In Classic Trigedit, the number of deaths have a limit of 9 digits, but a lot of values I use go up to 10 digits. Removing the limit for entering digits/characters in this (as well as the previously mentioned unit naming in Unit and Hero Settings) would be great.

SCMDraft is coded in VB right?
PyMS and ProTRG developer
I attempted to use the embedded MPQ in STFs newest EXE by adding it to a new profiles data mpqs, but it crashes once I've selected the profile and hit Ok to load the map editor. I get "Something Bad Has Happened" with TrigEdit and it saves TrigEdit.dmp (see dl below). I took TrigEdit out of the plugins folder and tried again and got the same error except its an error for "SCMDraft 2 beta 0.7.5" (even though I have SCMDraft 2.0 beta 0.8.0.0), and saves a dmp (see dl). I then copied all the files i thought necessary for making the map editor into a new MPQ (only dat files, iscript file, and grp's. no firegraft stuff, smk's, wav's or menu pcx's), but still get the same as my last try.
Here are all the dmp's, the SCMDraft dmp with (2) is obviously my second attempt with the new mpq. Here is also the minimal MPQ i used when i got the (2) dmp.
We mod Starcraft.

I'll check the trigger resizing and STF bugs, one of the reasons for the profiles was so that herc could use the editor so if it stopped working thats not good. Perhaps some of the fancier hacks he has in the MPQ?...
You could try wine + scmdraft, I have no idea if it works. I dont have a mac nor do I know how to code on a mac so I cannot write a mac port.
While you cant change clutter, atm you can use the subtile brush to update the terrain to a specific subtile. I probably will spend some time soon to determine the exact clutter algorithm staredit uses and then it could be implemented via sliders, I am fairly sure its not a linearly random function, but a multipolynomial fit should figure it out =)
I think he means like being able to select them in the same way as the Ctrl clicking when selecting terrain, so the terrain you copy more than 1 at a time would have to be next to eachother in the index, but it'd be nice a lot of the time.
Whenever I open this map is scmd is says, "Would you like to save a diagnostic file," and then crashes. It is just the one map since I can open other maps. Another note, it uses EUD conditions and actions(atleast I think). I can also open it in starforge without problems.Attachments:

This is gonna sound retarded, but have an option to turn on WASD movement.
The way I hold my keyboard, it would benefit me so much.
It looks like it is a protected map that was partially unprotected. I fixed the crash, however it will still fail to load due to missing sections etc.
And STF now works, whoever came up with the idea of null strings as unit names needs to be found

I get why Dakota Fanning keeps getting offered these motherless waif roles in Southern-fried melodramas. Those saucer eyes, that lunar pallor, the Georgia accent, the guts to rat her hair into a dull mat and skulk around in shabby rooms that scream my-daddy-drinks. What I don't get is why she keeps taking them.
Not that " The Secret Life of Bees," Gina Prince-Bythewood's high-minded and expensive-looking adaptation of Sue Monk Kidd's bestselling novel, exists on the same plane as "Hounddog," the scrappy little howler otherwise hysterically (and speciously, it turns out, but that's show business) known as "the Dakota Fanning rape movie." On the contrary, what's being sold here is the movie equivalent of the honey-drenched sweet potato biscuits that are forever being passed around on-screen. Their nutritional value may be nil, but they sure look comforting.
Fanning plays Lily, a melancholy 14-year-old who's been told her whole life that she killed her mother when she was 4. Her furious father, T. Ray ( Paul Bettany), refuses to indulge Lily's pleas for stories about her mother, so she sneaks off at night to dig up the little tin of stolen memories she keeps buried in the yard.
Lily's only friend in the world is her housekeeper, Rosaleen ( Jennifer Hudson), and on the day the Civil Rights Act is signed into law, she accompanies her into town so Rosaleen can register to vote. And wouldn't you know it, who should they encounter along the way but a mob of racist good ol' boys?
Next thing you know, Lily is busting Rosaleen out of a prison hospital and the two of them are hitching to Tiburon, a town whose name Lily has found written on the back of an image of a black Madonna among her mother's things. The image turns out to be the label of a local brand of honey, manufactured by a Miss August Boatwright ( Queen Latifah), the eldest of a clan of three sisters.
Miss August, the beautiful, chilly June ( Alicia Keys) and the sweet, simple-minded May (Sophie Okonedo) live together in a big pink house on a huge plot of land that might as well be Brigadoon, it's so idyllic and enchanted and self-sufficient and hidden from the world. If the sisters' way of life poses any kind of problem for the local bigots (the black Madonna on the honey label, the big pink house), you'd never know it. The farm is so far removed from the world's troubles, in fact, that Miss August's young godson, Zach (Tristan Wilds), asks Lily to the movies and honestly fails to see what comes next.
Lily and Rosaleen blossom in this hothouse environment. Lily because she experiences what it's like to be mothered for the first time, Rosaleen because she's shown a different life than she had imagined was possible for a black woman.
The charismatic Latifah is as warm and expansive as ever, but in her casual Friday khakis and modern businesswoman confidence she feels anachronous and out of place. She has carved out a niche as a sort of comforter of the afflicted, and although she wears her sainthood lightly it would be nice to see her do something different.
The beekeeping business, which Miss August patiently teaches to Lily, provides the sister a handsome living as well as all kinds of opportunities for metaphors about insect life as it relates to ours. ("See, the world's really just one big bee yard . . . .") And the movie is full of lines like that. When, early on, Rosaleen admonishes Lily not to get her hopes up when they first knock on Miss August's door, the girl replies, "They got nowhere else to go." The thing is, we do.

Update 3:22 pm: Or maybe not quite yet.
Agent for #Cuba SS Alexander Guerrero: "Nothing finalized. No agreement in hand with anyone. No truth to any of that." Three teams in mix.— Jesse Sanchez (@JesseSanchezMLB) July 23, 2013
Leave it to the Los Angeles Dodgers to sign a guy you've never heard of to a ridiculous amount of money. The Blue Crew has signed Cuban infielder Alexander Guerrero (Perez) to a 7-year, $32 million deal, reports Dionisio Soldevila of ESPN Deportes.
Soldevila adds that the Dodgers plan on moving Guerrero quickly through Double- and Triple-A so that he can take over at second base in Chavez Ravine in "a couple weeks." Whether or not he'll be able to jump to the big leagues as quickly as the Dodgers want him to remains to be seen, but it's apparent they see him as a better option at second than Mark Ellis.
So who exactly is Guerrero, then? There isn't much in the way of scouting information available online for Guerrero (at least that I could find in English), but we do know what he's been up to. The 26-year-old infielder defected from Cuba in January and has been training in the Dominican Republic in the six months since. Guerrero played shortstop in Cuba's Serie Nacional for several years -- making the All-Star team with Las Tunas in 2010 and 2011 -- but sat out last year after not being chosen for the World Baseball Classic team.
Speaking on his Sirius XM radio show Tuesday morning, former GM Jim Duquette said that Guerrero has a similar build to White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez, and that he launched 60 home runs in a three-season span while in Cuba.
Here's a video of Guerrero in action:

*(Note: for this review the R RATED US Tartan Asia Extreme DVD release was used)*
So it all starts with a naked man. Our villain, Woo-jin, played pitch-perfect by Ji-tae Yu, he steps out of a shower bare-assed. Right at the 01:30:12 mark. Please, please, please note the tramp stamp; get a good long look at it. It's drawn right down into his crack. Seriously; it's not just the ladies that rock the L.B.T. nowadays. The lower back tattoo is officially unisex. Like a pair of Converse All Stars or t-shirts. The color pink.
But... I wouldn't say anything like that to Woo-jin's face mind you. He's Woo-jin, after all. A man to be respected. Feared.
Emphasis on fear.
For example, before his shower, at the mere utterance of "sick 'em", two guards in nice suits rush across his penthouse suite to attack our poor, bedraggled protagonist Dae-su Oh (my personal hero, Min-sik Choi). The fight... the bloodshed, only a momentary tactic allowing Woo-jin a second to rinse off before slipping into something a little more comfortable.
Anyway, that's how we get here... wet butt cheeks.
Woo-jin makes his way across the pristine spotlessness of his beautiful penthouse to a custom sci-fi closet which opens into four quadrants. He disappears inside; only his arm visible moving though a rack of shirt and jacket combos. In this shot, as well as the other thousand compositionally beautiful shots that director Chan-wook Park pulls off to make up this film, he frames Dae-su in a full length mirror to the right of the screen as Dae-su divulges the answer to the riddle plaguing him during his five days of vengeance (which I won't spoil for you here in case you're one of the only people who haven't seen this beast of a film).
Emerging from the closet, cheeks sheathed in black underwear, Woo-jin moves to the mirror. The suit up for "Oldboy" is unique, as it spans several minutes of integral plat. At this point, while Woo-jin is looking in the mirror, he begins an exchange of dialogue with Dae-su, during which, for the duration of the scene, the camera jumps to different angles and images. Different places. Different times.
For example, if we watch here, during the dialogue there are a couple seconds of close-up time spent on a Korean painting. Then we're rushed over to the room Dae-su was held captive in for fifteen years, where Mi-do (Dae-su's girl played by the cutie Hye-jeong Kang) patiently waits, praying. Then we're right next to Woo-jin again. He's at the closet, pants on, taking a belt and a neatly folded button down shirt from the shelf. He continues to talk smugly; shedding light on Dae-su's mystery in incremental bits; building up to the big reveal, that "prestige" moment, same as the average James Bond/Scooby Doo villain- giving us every little missing detail of the nefarious plot.
In close-up he buttons down the shirt. Latches his belt.
More conversation. Words traded back and forth; protagonist to antagonist. More pretty camera work. What's cool here is when the shot goes back to the waiting Mi-do, she mimics the Woo-jin suit-up; peeling off her top for the sweater we're shown up close nestled in a suitcase, then sliding it on.
So break-neck back to Woo-jin, as he takes a tie from a drawer. Pops his collar and begins to loop his black silk noose. The scene rockets back to the past as he explains the "how" of the plot, even moving into split screen so we can see him jeer as he adjusts his tie and so Chan-wook Park can pull a really neat camera trick.
The flashback scene wipes George Lucas-style with a drawer being opened. The inside is divided into ten felt lined sections, each containing intricate sets of cuff link and tie-pins. Woo-jin selects a black set and we jump to close ups of his hands and wrists as he sets the cuff links. He soothes out the tie and adds the clip. A moment later, in an overhead shot he exits the sci-fi wardrobe, tossing on his final piece, the suit jacket; and as he does the closet comes together, concealing itself as an avant garde piece of art. Or a Decepticon.
Either one really.
Doesn't really matter, cause here's where our man goes crazy. Let me re-phrase, here's where both of them go batshit nuts. For real. The last twenty minutes of "Oldboy" are brutal and insane and fucking beautiful beyond words. If you haven't done so, please see this film. You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't. Catch it before a remake ruins it (if subtitles got you down the US release has a solid English 5.1 audio dub). If you've seen it, awesome. If not, then you have to see it. It's your suitupscene.com homework assignment.
Besides, where else can you catch a truly odd suit-up involving wet man-butt?

Alabama Crimson Tide linebacker Nico Johnson isn't the only player looking to boost his NFL Draft stock with a big performance at the 2013 Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., but he has perhaps as much to gain from the experience as anyone. He ranks as the No. 6 middle linebacker in the draft according to SB Nation's Dan Kadar, and few mock drafts have him anywhere near the first round. He hopes to change that.
"I just want to showcase everything I know I'm good at and showcase some of the things that people have said I'm not good at that I think I'm good at," Johnson said.
"People don't think I'm good at pass coverage. But I've never really had a true chance to showcase that I can play on the passing downs. That's one I want to show I can do. A lot of people don't know that I pass rush a little bit. I never really had an opportunity to showcase that.
"I just want to showcase everything I have to offer."
Not only will Johnson look to take on defensive roles normally occupied by his other talented teammates, he hopes to impress friends and family. The Alabama native said that the Senior Bowl has always held a special place for players from the state.
"I never realized how big it was to the players and everybody else, but now that I'm having the opportunity to play in it myself, I realize how important it is for the players to go out and showcase and impress the people they need to impress so they can further their career," Johnson said.
Johnson was Alabama's third-leading tackler on the season, racking up 55 tackles. He had 163 over four seasons, including 16.5 tackles for loss and two interceptions. He specializes in run defense, with some concerns about his quickness and ability to play in space.

The first report, from 2009, looked at how women now make up half of the American workforce. The second discussed how Alzheimer's disease disproportionately affects women, both as patients and caregivers.
This final report, "A Woman's Nation Pushes Back From the Brink," focuses on the reasons that women make up a disproportionate share of Americans at the bottom of the economic ladder. To put it another way: All of the political talk we are hearing right now about income inequality is, at heart, a gender issue.
"More than 100 million of us live on or over the brink of poverty or churn in and out of it -- and nearly 70 percent of this group are women and the children who depend on them," says the report. "That's almost 42 million women and more than 28 million kids living on the brink."
Despite what many may believe, most of the women at the bottom rung have jobs, and they are often the primary, if not sole, supporter of their families -- even when they are married. The problem is, their jobs don't pay much.
Nor do they typically include the kinds of benefits -- sick days, flexible work schedules, health care, vacation -- that give women the ability to juggle work with raising children or taking care of aging parents. You know, the kind of work that counts toward this country's gross domestic product when done for a paycheck, but not when it's done by "Mom."
I'm still working my way through the complete report, which includes dozens of essays by and real-life profiles of women who have something to say about how this nation's policies don't serve them well.
But as I was reading, it occurred to me that I have seen something like this before. And, sure enough, I found a yellowing copy of it on my bookshelf: "The Spirit of Houston," the official report from The First National Women's Conference, Nov. 18 to 21, 1977.
"Our dream of equality is still withheld from us and millions of women still face a daily reality of discrimination, limited opportunities and economic hardship," the Houston women wrote in their Declaration of American Women 1977. "Man-made barriers, laws, social customs and prejudices continue to keep a majority of women in an inferior position without full control of our lives and bodies. ... Too often we find our individuality, our capabilities, our earning powers diminished by discriminatory practices and outmoded ideas of what a woman is, what a woman can do and what a woman must be."
Sadly, 37 years later, that same complaint remains all too valid.
Expect to hear more about The Shriver Report in the news. On Tuesday, Shriver presented President Obama with a copy. From 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. PST today, a conference discussing its findings is being hosted by The Atlantic and livestreamed at shriverreport.org, where a free Kindle edition of the report is available.
It's worth a read, and I hope it informs some serious discussion and action.

"Do I think that [Georges St. Pierre] got greased? Yeah, I do. Absolutely, 100 percent, I think that that guy was rubbing grease on him. Do I think Georges was trying to cheat? Absolutely not at all. But that cornerman was rubbing grease on him. You cannot do that.... You put another fighter at a huge disadvantage, which is very dangerous. He didn't have to put grease on him.... Georges St. Pierre was winning the fight, he was dominant in the standup and on the ground. To have a fight or a fighter like St. Pierre tainted over a stupidity, I hate it. It sucks. Size matters in this sport. It didn't a few years ago. It does now."
-- UFC President Dana White vents to the Canadian Press (via TSN.com) about the cloud of controvery that has enveloped the main event at UFC 94: "St. Pierre vs. Penn 2." He is clearly very upset about the "greasing" incident that took place inside the Octagon, which has perhaps tarnished the dominant performance that the Canadian turned in against the lightweight champion. In fact, White compares it to the recent illegal wraps discovered on the hands of boxer Antonio Margarito prior to his recent fight against Miguel Cotto. Regardless, White does not seem to think a third fight between St. Pierre and Penn is necessary. He indicated that Penn will remain in the 155-pound class.

I just remembered: Kris Humphries' contract expires after this season. Before this season, I wouldn't have cared much, unless his contract was being used to help us dump salary, but "The Hump" (they seriously call him that in NJ) has taken it to another level this year, averaging 8.7 ppg (53% from the field, and a .562 TS%), 9.3 rpg (2.7 offensive), a block, and an assist in only 25 minutes per game. He has an 18.0 PER, even with a low usage rate, and is by far NJ's best player in both WS/48 and Wins Produced (Shout-out, Gulk!). The Nets' d-rating is almost 5 points lower with Humphries on the court, and he rarely turns the ball over.
With all this going for him, you'd think the Nets would jump to sign him, but I don't really see Humphries in their long term plans. They just drafted Derrick Favors, who is showing enough in his rookie year that he should be their long-term solution at PF, and they just wasted a bunch of money on Travis Outlaw, Jordan Farmar, and Johan Petro, in addition to trading for Sasha Vujacic's horrible contract. I wouldn't be surprised if Humphries ended up hitting the open market, and I'd hope we make a run at him -- especially if Nene accepts his player option and the Grizzlies resign Marc Gasol. Greg Monroe is looking more and more like a legit starting Center, and the combined rebounding powers of Moose and Humphries would be freaking awesome. Plus, he's only 25!
Pros: Rebounding, Scoring efficiency, Defense, Athleticism, DUNX, Can replace Ben Wallace as the most impressively ripped guy on the floor, when needed
Cons: He's dating Kim Kardashian, Rebounds might be a tad bit inflated due to playing next to Brook Lopez (5.7 rpg)

Saturday was Roundtree's day. The senior wide receiver hauled in five passes for 139 yards, none nearly as important or impressive as the season-saving one.
The catch was so good, it got the attention of former 1991 Michigan Heisman winner Desmond Howard:
A GREAT play by #Roundtree. #neverquit.—

text: I only wished I had picked up on Suicidal Tendencies when I was younger. Better late than never, though."Light…Camera…Revolution" must be included among metal's finest moments. Yet simply calling it a metal album would be doing this album a massive injustice. It incorporates punk, rock, and frontman Mike Muir's clever lyrical content. Its tight metal sound, perfect riffing, and seering solos from guitarist Rocky George make this disc all the more special.If you claim to be a fan of metal, puck, or rock music in general, this is an imperative addition to your collection, as is their self-titled album and "How WIll I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Smile Today." ST's 1999 album "Freedumb" is also worth checking out.

DALLAS — The City of Dallas is making a push to get more volunteers for the Visiting Nurse Association's Meals on Wheels program.
The group delivers 3,800 hot meals a day, but for many of the home-bound seniors, the visit is about more than just food.
"The fellowship that one gets from a face; a conversation; perhaps it's the weather or just a nice story," said Dallas Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Pauline Medrano. "Some people just need to converse a little bit, because this may be the only person that some people see on a daily basis."
Medrano said the upcoming months are especially hard for these seniors, since many of them can't endure the summer heat.
If you'd like to volunteer, contact the VNA Meals on Wheels Web site for more information.

This recipe comes from my Aunty Sue, and I blame her for getting me addicted to fresh rice paper rolls. They're such a healthy alternative to some other Asian dishes and lots of fun to make together around the table for dinner. This recipe maximises the flavour of the rolls by omitting the rice vermicilli that rice paper rolls are often stuffed with as a filler.
