Report: School friend says suspects were 'normal' kids
Local TV station CBS Boston cites a high school friend of the two brothers suspected of this week's bombings as saying they were "normal" kids.
He reportedly described them both as keen athletes who enjoyed wrestling and boxing.
He said that Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died in a shoot-out earlier today, was "a two-times golden gloves champion" who was "asked many times to go pro but he kept declining."
The other brother Dzhokhar, who is still thought to be on the run, was reportedly "a wrestler that won many awards" including a college scholarship.

The robots are coming--and they want jobs. Here's what the experts say will happen by the year 2025.
The media is referred to as watchdogs, and a company in the metro has been keeping an eye on the media for more than 80 years. Magnolia Clipping and Broadcast Monitoring Service in Ridgeland provides and archives media for a variety of clients across the country.
Magnolia Clipping was started by the grandmother of Dred Porter, Sr., who currently runs the company. While Dred Sr. focuses on the newspaper side, brothers Dred Jr. and Joe, are responsible for keeping an eye on the television and Internet.
Dred Porter, Jr., shared details of the company's humble beginnings.
"Has been around for 86 years," Porter, Jr. said. "My great-grandmother started the company out of her kitchen."
The Porters and a team of a half-dozen employees keep track of the news, so their subscribers do not have to. They scour more than 600 newspapers and 4,000 television stations and networks.
"Anybody that needs to know when they're on the news," Porter, Jr. said. "What was on about them. Newspaper, television, video, radio."
For example if American Heart Association wanted to know how February's Go Red campaign went they call the Porters. Magnolia Clipping would pull up every time Go Red was referenced in the news.
Based on that data the press team at AHA can determine if they are effectively getting their message across to the public.
Another purpose Magnolia Clipping fulfills is offering companies a scorecard on media coverage if their business is fighting negative publicity. One such high profile company that enlisted Magnolia Clippings resources is BP, who was monitoring public backlash following the Gulf oil spill in 2010.
"The company (BP) primarily responsible hired us to monitor any mention of when they were in any type of media, any form or fashion," Porter, Jr. said.
In addition to that side of business they archive material for many national networks, including ESPN and HGTV, and all local news stations, including WLBT & WDBD.
With all the hard work and the unique product they offer in Mississippi, business is not just about profits for the Porters, but pride.
"If I make a big sale or sign a big contract, I immediately run in there and tell my dad," Porter Jr. said with a grin. "Very rewarding to make your dad proud."

The Falcons came into minicamp this year with 15 offensive linemen, and in a rare turn of events, all 15 were healthy and available.
That allowed the team to form three complete units. In past years, they had to cover some openings by having guys split time at two positions, and they formed two regular units plus two extra ad-hoc combination units to make sure that everyone got at least some reps in the right places.
But this year, they were able to form three groups - and stick with them. I didn't see any mix-and-match going on at all. The defensive lines constantly rotated and mixed up their combinations, but the offensive linemen stayed within their three groups.
As far as who looked good and who didn't... forget it. Minicamp is non-contact with no pads/shells. So other than saying everyone could figure out their left from their right, there's not much to report. We won't know what miracles Pat Hill has in store for us until we get into the exhibition games.
But what I *can* tell you is the groupings. For me, that's the most important part of minicamp anyway as far as linemen are concerned.
The Falcons essentially stuck with their standard protocol: the guys who held the #1 spots last year still work with those groups going into the first preseason game. Garrett Reynolds was a starter before his injury. Peter Konz was a starter at the end of last season. Joe Hawley ended the year under the cloud of his suspension. So Reynolds and Konz work with the first unit, and Hawley does not.
Likewise, Mike Johnson was ahead of Lamar Holmes on last year's depth chart. (They were both listed as #2s, but Johnson was the one that was active on game days. Holmes was inactive outside of Hawley's suspension.) So Johnson gets the first unit reps.
That's simply how the Falcons roll when forming the initial depth chart. It doesn't mean the contests are decided, though it will give the first unit guys a bit of an edge as they'll have more opportunities to showcase their skills against opposing first string players in preseason.
FIRST UNIT offensive line, from left to right: Sam Baker, Justin Blalock, Peter Konz, Garrett Reynolds, Mike Johnson.
A key item to watch later this summer will be how many reps Konz gets at guard. The less he cross-trains during camp, the more likely he is to be our new starting center.
If the coaching staff starts leaning heavily towards one player over the other, they'll stack up as many reps as possible for that player at center - and focus on cross-training the one more likely to be the interior backup. So if we see Konz playing nothing but center in the later preseason games, it's a big hint that he's it.
SECOND UNIT offensive line, left to right: Ryan Schraeder, Phillipkeith Manley, Joe Hawley, Harland Gunn, Lamar Holmes.
For me, the biggest question here is whether Holmes and Mike Johnson will also take reps at left tackle with this group. I'd prefer not to see the undrafted prospects take all the reps here - when the season starts, we need the active guys to be ready to fill in for Sam Baker if necessary. Schraeder is a long shot to make the roster. Doing well at LT with this group would dramatically improve his chances, but he'd still be a fixture on the inactive list this year. I'm hoping we'll get some preseason reps for the players where the extra work might actually come in handy.
It hasn't had the press attention of Hawley vs Konz or Holmes vs Johnson, but be sure to keep an eye on Manley and Gunn working in the same unit during the exhibition games. There's a good chance the two of them will be directly competing against each other for one roster spot, and the last two preseason games might turn out to be their Thunderdome.
Having them in the same unit will theoretically showcase them against the same caliber of competition. If one thrives while the other falters, we'll have our winner.
THIRD UNIT offensive line, left to right: Terren Jones, Matt Smith, Jacques McClendon, Theo Goins, Alec Savoie.
Note that the roster on the team's official web site lists Smith, Goins and Savoie simply as "OL". Smith played center at Kentucky, Goins played guard at Central Florida, and Savoie played tackle at McNeese State.
So the first real item of interest here is that McClendon was snapping the ball rather than Smith. McClendon (who played guard in college at Tennessee) had extensively cross-trained at center before coming to Atlanta, and his ability to snap the ball was a major reason why we signed him. (We added him to the practice squad when Hawley was suspended. Konz had already taken over for Reynolds at right guard, leaving us short two centers while Hawley was out.)
I expect to see both Smith and McClendon working at center during the preseason games, and if he does well in that role, it would give McClendon an edge over the other guard candidates for one of the final roster spots. You want your active backup interior guy to be capable of playing all three inside positions, so that versatility could be a huge factor in the final decisions.
Likewise, it's a great chance for Smith to showcase his skills at guard and get reps at that position. He's another long shot to make the roster, but as a natural center he'll have the inside track for a potential practice squad berth. If he shows potential at guard in the exhibition games, that might seal the deal.
Also noteworthy: the roster listing that team staffers handed out to fans had Terren Jones at 6-7, 341. That's significantly bigger than his 320-pound listing on the web site. If it's true, he'd "officially" be the heaviest guy on the team (Manley is still listed at a svelte 309). Other significant OL deviations include Lamar Holmes listing at 333 and Alec Savoie at 322 on the sheet given to fans at minicamp.

Scripture Mastery Scriptures: Book of Mormon
- 1 Nephi 3:7 - "And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."
- 1 Nephi 19:23 - "And I did read many things unto them which were written in the books of Moses; but that I might more fully persuade them to believe in the Lord their Redeemer I did read unto them that which was written by the prophet Isaiah; for I did liken all scriptures unto us, that it might be for our profit and learning."
- 2 Nephi 2:25 - "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy."
- 2 Nephi 2:27 - "Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself."
- 2 Nephi 9:28-29 - "O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishne ss and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.
"But to be learned is good if they hearken unto the counsels of God."
- 2 Nephi 28:7-9 - "Yea, and there shall be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die; and it shall be well with us.
"And there shall also be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry; nevertheless, fear God—he will justify in committing a little sin; yea, lie a little, take the advantage of one because of his words, dig a pit for thy neighbor; there is no harm in this; and do all these things, for tomorrow we die; and if it so be that we are guilty, God will beat us with a few stripes, and at last we shall be saved in the kingdom of God.
"Yea, and there shall be many which shall teach after this manner, false and vain and foolish doctrines, and shall be puffed up in their hearts, and shall seek deep to hide their counsels from the Lord; and their works shall be in the dark."
- 2 Nephi 32:3 - "Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do."
- 2 Nephi 32:8-9 - "And now, my beloved brethren, I perceive that ye ponder still in your hearts; and it grieveth me that I must speak concerning this thing. For if ye would hearken unto the Spirit which teacheth a man to pray, ye would know that ye must pray; for the evil spirit teacheth not a man to pray, but teacheth him that he must not pray.
"But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul."
- Jacob 2:18-19 - "But before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the kingdom of God.
"And after ye have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them for the intent to do good—to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick and the afflicted."
- Mosiah 2:17 - "And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."
- Mosiah 3:19 - "For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father."
- Mosiah 4:30 - "But this much I can tell you, that if ye do not watch yourselves, and your thoughts, and your words, and your deeds, and observe the commandments of God, and continue in the faith of what ye have heard concerning the coming of our Lord, even unto the end of your lives, ye must perish. And now, O man, remember, and perish not."
- Alma 32:21 - "And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true."

According to Michael Wilbon at ESPN the NBA is planning on a 66 game schedule consisting of 48 conference games and 18 non-conference games. While it is not as lopsided toward conference play as the NHL (they need to fix that system) I still find it disappointing. I think fans should have a chance to see every other team at least once in their home city (assuming they have an NBA team . . . sorry Seattle). Also, assuming you play those non-conference teams all at least once, who decides which three non-conference teams your team plays twice?
With this in mind, my idea -- no, David Stern hasn't called me yet -- would be a home and away between every team. This would fill 58 games of each team's season. With the remaining eight games each team would play the other four teams in its division in a second home and away. Viola! A nice, balanced, 66 game schedule with an emphasis on divisional play and a chance for fans to see each team. The four games against divisional foes is also the same as it has been in 82-game seasons. The only games missing are the other in-conference, non-division games.
The downside is this schedule would be even more brutal for the Blazers given less conference play.

Nice to have a hydration pack and chest protector in one, fits well and is comfortable for all day rides. Only complaint is the pouch/pocket setup. wish it was better for keeping stuff secure....but not a deal breaker. Clips are a little funky at first but once you get used to them they work just fine. Overall its a great setup, would buy again.Read All Reviews

|"American Jobs" Documentary Film Showing in Wichita, KS.
|Documentary filmmaker Greg Spotts arrives in Wichita for a special showing of his new film "American Jobs," a moving documentary which explores the loss of American jobs to low wage foreign competition, and the outsourcing of American jobs to other countries. The film highlights an economy that is undergoing structural rather than cyclical change with significant human costs.
There is no charge for the event, which also will feature the attendance of the director, Greg Spotts. Spotts says he does not take sides on the issue and that the film is nonpartisan. "It represents a fiercely independent point of view," he says.
Spotts, a freelance television producer, took six months off his job to make the documentary. He traveled to nineteen cities and towns from textile towns in North Carolina to aviation businesses in Seattle, interviewing both blue-collar and white-collar workers who have been displaced by gobalization.The website for the film: www.AmericanJobsFilm.com
|Wednesday, October 27, 2004
|Wichita State University
Hubbard Hall – Room 208
|Campus Map/URL:
|The film is being presented by Grow Kansas, an organization concerned with statewide job creation.
National Hire American Citizens Society
|FREE and OPEN to the public!
|Grow Kansas Programming
|Please join us for a viewing of the new documentary American Jobs. Producer Gregg Spotts will be with us to describe his experiences during filming. Mr. Spotts used $50,000.00 of his own money to document the loss of jobs going on in this country. He wanted to gain a perspective on why this is happening. What he has found is that there is a structural change going on within our economy, the replacement of high paying jobs with low paying ones. Spotts does a great job of giving a well researched and put together presentation of this problem. Discussion to follow screening of the film.

Residents in Woodstock may notice a slight change in the color of the water coming out of the tap for the next month and a half as the city performs fire hydrant maintenance.
The City of Woodstock advises that the discolored water is not harmful, but may stain light-colored clothing. Officials say the discoloration is due to sediment that is knocked loose or stirred up during the testing of the hydrants.
Crews will be flushing the system until it is cleared up, but smaller lines near homes might still be affected. They advise if the water is discolored or cloudy, that residents should run their faucets until it is once again clear.
The testing will be conducted from March 17 until the end of April.
For more information visit the City of Woodstock Fire Department website.

A Wedding Card
Posted by HaniFadil 4 comments: Links to this post
Labels: card, gallery, scrapbooking
Wednesday, September 12, 2007
Two of the earliest..
Just want to share my first attempt on 12x12 layout. Scraplifted from a sketch in scrapbook etc. magazine. Just a simple layout using only basic technique of cut, arrange and paste. LOL.
And this is another completed LO, based on online crop hosted by hamy at lovescrap forum. The theme is TIME. I chose to do layout of the 'Fun Time' I had with my best buddies ( Fae, Ayu and Effi ) at Sunway Lagoon during our Final Year back in 2000. Miss you gals so much!
Saturday, September 8, 2007
A quick layout
I managed to complete this LO in about 1 hour plus. I used:-
- coordinated paper from 'SEI scrapbook kit in a bag', it is easy because i just need to follow the instruction to match the pre-cut papers based on their LO sketch given.
- Tags, brad, buttons, sticker fonts - all from the kit
- My addition : the stamped geometric flowers
Wedding LO-Malam Berinai
I m planning to scrapbook photos from my wedding and compile them into an album. Well, this is my 1st finished LO. It took me longer time to complete as I was cautious not to overdo the page to complement wedding photos ( but these photos are the reprinted version. The original prints are still safely kept in the original wedding album.. just in case..)
I tried using the foam stamp with stamping ink for the A&F. Ah , how nice if i could do the embossing technique.. but never mind, more LOs to come. And rub-ons for the 'Today and Always' quote as well as the photo corners. But, poor me, some of the photo corners tend to peel off.

The ribbon is actually leftover from ribbons that i used during my wedding preparation ( for the hantaran deco, i guess..)

First Layout
This layout was being attempted out of my curiosity to try my hands on scrapbooking. After reading some tips for beginner lined in a local based scrapbook forum, lovescrap forum, i chose one of the sketches to be scraplifted. Here's the LO.
I guess it's pretty basic, but enough to make me drooling to try more. :) TFL.

That's right everyone, your going to have to deal with two posts of my crappy humor this week. I blame Turner_The_Burner, I can only assume this will rock the very core of the Falcoholic... or not. I have taken the template of his last Best Case post and will be talking from his perspective, enjoy.
G'day Falcons fans, and welcome back to the weekly contribution I, in collaboration with fellow Aussie Falcons fan dunlagh, hope to be making to the Falcoholic. Each week I'll outline what would constitute the best case for the Falcons this week, while dunlagh will handle doomsayer duty. Enjoy.
Right, so, the big story out of this week is that we aren't playing much better then the first two weeks. Our Offensive line has been leaky, our zone D has been soft and our discipline has been fairly poor to put it bluntly. THANK VISHNU we play the Seahawks, now we don't usually make the statements about the fact we are better then a certain team but out of our whole schedule this looks to be one of the easiest games we have and a great way to focus our whole team and get us on the right track. So this week, my best case scenario comes if we regain the 2010 form, O-Line gels together and our Offense lights it up.
Regain the 2010 form: One of my main concerns about this year is how different they play to the last years team. Our turnover differential is -2, our Time of possession is more then 5 minutes less then our opponents, our O-line looks like Swiss cheese, our running game has been less then featured and our special teams have been problematic. The worst case covers the special teams mainly Bosher (Which I fear will be a constant factor in our worst case). However we have been, uncharacteristic to say the least this year which stems mainly from our O-line (which will be covered in more depth below. With so much pressure in Ryan's face Matty Ice has definitely rushed some throws, made some bad decisions and been drilled by linebackers so hard that this euphemism just became disturbing. With some extra time on passing plays, Ryan can hopefully return to his surgeon like approach to his game cutting and slicing up defenses (It would also help his stats if Roddy stopped dropping balls, seriously bro). With better passing means we can soak up more clock and have some of those 10+ minute drives that killed opposing defenses last year, which in turn would open it up for the running game so we can regularly bang it down their throats for a bit more success, just how MM likes it. The last point is discipline, this is more then the O-line (Corey Peters) however they aren't helping either, we need to start playing like last years team and fast.
O-line gels together: The last 3 weeks haven't been wonderful in terms of the O-Line, showing us just how important Dahl was to our franchise. Now McClure is back for his second game, where we can hope he will only improve the line. The wall of 300+ pound bearded giants have been a beacon of consistency for many years now however there fierce demeanor has been cracked and they have now looked significantly less impressive week to week. What is considered the most under appreciated position in American Football, the Offensive Line is extremely important. Teams have gotten away in the past with a poor pass rush, or an average running game. However if your O-line isn't playing well it can quickly topple your entire offense, quicker then you can say Pol Pot (for the record I can say Pol Pot very fast). Lack of time for your QB results in more turnovers, more three and outs and less ability for your running game to develop. Give your QB time however (especially one like Ryan) and they can kill defenses, soak up the clock, score points and open up the running game too. The line is going to be the determining factor of our success this year and if they can't step it up now, then Ryan might have to wear some extra padding.
Our Offense lights it up: JJ has been great for us, I cannot stress that enough. Sure he hasn't scored a TD yet but that is an issue with the whole offense not him. Regardless he adds that explosiveness that we have been needing to see for the last few years. In terms of production he is right up there with Tony G in catches and with Roddy in yards. Julio Jones, thank you and congratulations for being the best rookie WR in terms of yards. Now Turner has been great besides lasts week game however highly under used and Tony G is brilliant and proves exactly why he is such an amazing TE. Roddy on the other hand, needs to seriously step it up. His game last week was solid statistically (9 receptions for 140 yards) however he had 3 significant drops, two in clutch moments, one resulting in an INT. He is no doubt one of the premier receivers of the game today but he needs to regain that 2010 form. Rodgers will have an expanded role this week which is exciting and could really help him break into the offense. Other players like HD, Snelling and any other receivers on the team haven't done very much. Side note: Turner has caught 4 passes for 72 yards, to gain the role as most explosive offensive receiver (sorry JJ). Our offense has been a bit lackluster in these initial games with just 343.0 yards per game average for the year (the 19th best in the league).
That's it for another week. After narrowly dropping the Bucs game, we could really use a game where we destroy our opposition, sorry Seattle. This game lies in the hands of the Falcons and its their game to lose, we don't need everything to come together but Vishnu it would be ice. Be sure to check out dunlagh's Worst Case article here, and discuss below. Go Falcons!
Postamble: So other then the scary euphemisms and generally depressing nature of this post I think it wasn't too bad. I am defiantly more adept at writing about how the Falcons could fall short and I think it kinda showed in this, whether it was because of the fact I have been 'Doomsayer Dunlagh' for too long or because I have some deep seeded personal issues, is irrelevant but I think we can agree that it doesn't matter too much. Its all just a bit of fun.

maybe a (if they) win against Oshkosh will nudge UWW up to #1…we'll see next week. I was hoping a win over UWSP would do it…but there's still two weeks left.
Author comment by captaincru · November 3, 2010 at 3:45 pm
How does Wesley with a 5-0 regional record get ranked above UMHB with a 7-0 regional record? Strange not seeing MUC and UWW not ranked at the top of the regional rankings.
Author comment by Pat Coleman · November 3, 2010 at 3:47 pm
"Number of wins" isn't really an issue and hasn't been in the past.
Author comment by tgp96 · November 3, 2010 at 3:54 pm
Not a lot of surprises in the East. Could be some interesting shuffling next week if Alfred beats Ithaca and clinches the E8 this weekend.
Author comment by captaincru · November 3, 2010 at 3:59 pm
So, would it suffice to say that overall ranking is taken into account with the Wesley/UMHB regional ranking?
Author comment by Pat Coleman · November 3, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Overall ranking? No, the NCAA doesn't pay any attention to our national rankings.
Overall record? Perhaps. But really, the determining factor is a lot closer to "number of losses" than it is "number of wins."
Author comment by captaincru · November 3, 2010 at 4:09 pm
Just curious since both were undefeated thought it might have to do with national ranking. Thanks.
Author comment by Keith McMillan · November 3, 2010 at 4:37 pm
I don't see any major surprises on first skim. SJF is really far from Alfred, which it lost to, but I forgot the Saxons had lost twice.
Seems like a lot of the key spots will have other factors to sort things out (ie h2h or common opponents)
Author comment by odacfan · November 3, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Any insight on reasoning for H-SC to slip from 1st to 3rd in the South, and for W&L to be ranked behind R-MC despite the fact that W&L beat R-MC? Thanks.
Author comment by jaybow · November 3, 2010 at 4:54 pm
Wesley's SOS jumped with a win over Salisbury and H-SC's dropped by playing win-less Guilford.
Author comment by odacfan · November 3, 2010 at 5:25 pm
If SOS alone is the sole determining factor, I can understand that reasoning.
Author comment by oconnmi · November 3, 2010 at 6:02 pm
With the 3-way tie now in the NJAC, there is no clear head-to-head qualifier. Do you know how the conference will break this tie if the season ends with all three teams finishing 8-1 in the conference?
Author comment by Jeremy · November 3, 2010 at 6:09 pm
How would Cortland win the NJAC in a 3-way tie if they, Rowan, and Montclair all win out? Please explain.
Author comment by buddy · November 3, 2010 at 7:22 pm
these rankings are pretty amusing. we'll see how bogus they are when the playoffs get under way.
Author comment by hsctiger74 · November 3, 2010 at 11:59 pm
@odacfan If sos is the main determining factor then H-SC has a chance to bounce back … their next two opponents are currently 6-2 and 7-1, UMHB's are currently 1-6 and 3-5, and Wesley has a bye week and a 5-3. Unfortunately I don't think that sos IS the sole factor, so we'll have to see how it works out.
Author comment by art76 · November 4, 2010 at 9:18 am
Are the SOS rankings found under "News" Current? Seems like they may be last week's.
Author comment by piperarcher · November 4, 2010 at 9:21 am
Happy to see the NCAA get it almost right. I would love to see Wesley get moved to the East as the #1 seed and then UMHB get the #1 seed in the south. If you look at the SOS listing you can get an idea how the regional ratings played out. By the way, a great article on Chris Mayes.
Author comment by jfmatc · November 4, 2010 at 1:35 pm
How can Delaware Valley's record in the region be 7-1 when their only loss is to Wesley who is in the South?
Author comment by Pat Coleman · November 4, 2010 at 1:41 pm
JF: At the top of the page is a link to our playoff FAQ. It contains a lot of useful information, including the definition of a regional game:

Art — they are from this week, yes. They are calculated automatically based on whatever scores are in the database when you load the page.
Author comment by oconnmi · November 4, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Sorry to keep asking…With the 3-way tie now in the NJAC, there is no clear head-to-head qualifier. Do you know how the conference will break this tie if the season ends with all three teams finishing 8-1 in the conference? I've looked for a way to email this question to the conference but have found nothing.

NJAC tiebreaker:
Champion/NCAA Automatic Bid Determination
a. The team with the best conference record in regular season play will be declared the conference champion and will receive the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
b. If two teams finish the season tied for first place with identical conference records, co-champions will be declared and the tiebreaker procedure listed in (A4c) will only be used to determine the conference's automatic qualification to the NCAA Tournament.
c. In case of a tie for first place, the tiebreaker will be determined as follows:
i. Two teams tied: The winner in head-to-head competition
ii. Three teams tied*:
1. Winner in head-to-head competition – team with best record against other two combined is declared champion
2. Results versus next highest ranked conference team (4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th) until tie is broken
3. Opponents' opponents' winning percentage in all of Division III
4. Opponents' opponents' winning percentage in-region
5. Rose Bowl Rule
6. Coin toss (if 3 teams, odd team out wins)
Author comment by art76 · November 4, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Thanx for the confirmation Pat. I only checked the West and it seems jumbled; in the sense that a team with a higher SOS is ranked lower than another team with a lower SOS and they both have a one loss record. Someone obviously sees something I don't in the teams and how they are ranked. Oh well.
Author comment by Pat Coleman · November 4, 2010 at 2:45 pm
It's hard to guess what's going on from that limited information but perhaps there is a head-to-head game or a common opponent difference that leads to that.
Author comment by oconnmi · November 4, 2010 at 3:25 pm
Thanks Pat! Hopefully it doesn't come down to the coin!!

New Technology
The television system in the United States has undergone radical change. This change is the first since the electronic standards for television were established right after WW2. The new system is a digital system, and marries computer technology with television. Visual images are captured in a digital format, processed digitally, broadcast digitally, and received and projected in the home, all via digital technology. "Great," you say. "But what is `digital technology?'" Simply put, digital refers to a system of ones and zeros, or on and off switches. Everything - every image, every line, and every picture element - is turned into binary (or a string of ones and zeros). In the old analogue system, there was some image degradation each time an image was manipulated. So between the time of image capture, and it arriving at the home receiver, there could be substantial image loss in detail. But the digital system alters that process. The results of this are the ability to faithfully reproduce images all along the line in the broadcast process, so that the image on your television set is identical to the one that was captured by the camera at the original scene.
An additional advantage is the fact that there are twice as many scan lines in the digital system - 1,080 vs. 525 in the old, analogue system. The result is stunning detail and clarity, in a screen that is wider than the traditional 4x3 ratio screen. The new high definition TV sets are in an aspect ratio of 16x9, or roughly one and a third wider than current screens.
Do you need a new TV set to see Tracks Ahead? No, as convertor boxes and cable/satellite operators downconvert the digital signal. You will notice some difference in enhanced clarity, but you will not get the full impact of the high definition signal unless you have an HD TV set.
Along with the picture (or video) is digital sound. All seasons starting with number six have been released of surround sound, sometimes referred to as 5.1. This means that there are six channels: Left front and rear, right front and rear, and center + a channel for the bass or sub-woofer signal. So the sound you hear puts you right in the center of the action. It's dramatic, and adds a whole new dimension to the viewing experience.
Tracks Ahead is pleased to be able to provide multiple seasons in the digital format. The results are truly amazing.
Chuck Zehner
The originator of the Tracks Ahead concept was the late Charles E. (Chuck) Zehner, Jr. Chuck was always interested in trains, and was a fixture of the rail fan community in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for many years. Zehner kept a scrapbook about his efforts to bring railroading to he general public. It recorded Zehner's days as founder of the Lionel Club's "Program Night" rail fan presentations in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, his days hosting and producing the 87-episode public access Just Trains cable TV show, and his work as Senior Producer for the Tracks Ahead program produced for PBS.
To most people, a kitchen table is just a place to eat supper. But to Zehner, a kitchen table was a place to create a television show about trains that has been shown on more than 200 stations around the United States since 1990.
"It all starts right here, right here at my kitchen table," Zehner told friend David Riddle as he sat at the table flipping through an overstuffed ring binder. "I have a notebook full of story ideas, with a pocket for each idea and any notes, photos, or brochures about the idea. Different fans send me ideas and I have several of my own, and each one goes into the notebook."
For someone whose career is in television, that wouldn't be unusual. But for Zehner it was, because for him it was only a hobby. "I'm just a working stiff with a 40-hour-a-week job like everybody else," Zehner noted. "My bread and butter comes from working in a factory, and then after work I go down to the TV station. I don't have a college degree," Zehner said, "but I've got street-smarts. I know what the audience wants, and what will play well with the public. We've got a clean and educational show, one that's interesting, but also one that a mother cannot be afraid to sit down and watch with her children. We receive a lot of fan mail from mothers who watch the show with their children."
Zehner and the other producer for the series, Executive Producer David Baule, made an effective team, with Baule bringing his television skills to the mix and Zehner bringing the story ideas. "We're a regular Barnum and Bailey," said Zehner, who often reminded those around him of circus promoter P. T. Barnum and had created a circus model to go with the HO and O-gauge model trains in his basement.
Chuck died in December, 2000. But his vision of bringing the excitement of railroading to a vast audience lives on.

The future of farming in the United States could lie in the hands of Lubbock area farmers, and their message is clear; don't change a thing.
The 2002 Farm Bill is up for renewal in 2007 and U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns is hosting a handful of public forums to see what American farmers want. Farmers at the Lubbock forum don't want to change anything.
It was a standing ovation for Johanns in the standing room only crowd. "I'm excited to hear from Texans about the farm bill," Johanns told the crowd of hundreds.
Secretary Johanns wants to know what the 2007 Farm Bill should include. The vast majority said it should remain exactly the same as the 2002 bill. One person said, "We believe it works."
Weldon Melton, who has been farming nearly his entire life in hale county said, "Just rename it the 2007 Farm Bill." Melton likes it because it makes payments to farmers when prices are down. "Minimum wage they pay to people who build our tractors increases our cost, we've got to have some way to recoup that and the 2002 farm bill does that."
Secretary Johanns took notes as farmers told him they like that the current bill encourages younger farmers to join the industry. However, Dawson County farmer, Marion Snell said something has to be done about the growing problem of the cost of production outweighing income. "Counting the payment we get, the subsidy we get and the market, it's still not reaching the cost of production and we're mortgaging our land just to stay in business," says Snell
Secretary Johanns is aware of the problem. He doesn't have any immediate solutions, but said he's trying to help. "I think these are really huge important issues and issues we'll grapple with as we work with the House and Senate on what the next farm bill should look like."
Melton also realizes the need for more money. However, he's satisfied with the current bill. "All the commodity groups I've heard say keep the 2002 farm bill. That's our word right now, this program works, let's keep it," said Melton.
Officials in Washington will ultimately give the 2007 bill final approval.

2 user comments | Views : 2,660 | Category: Spy Shots | Source: | SOURCE: acceleration claims cost toyota 1.4 billion us dollars
Tens of thousands of Toyota cars (many already have sold and even remaining ready and available for sale) throughout the world need a fast repair - this will require up to $2 billion to lose the company.
Not worthy of reliance acceleration pedal causes the Japanese manufacturer to give back more than 4.5 million units to shops throughout the world. On Thursday, Toyota has announced with official authorization that it will be pried as a minimum 1.4 billion Euros ($1.9 billion).A variety of market experts analyzing data forecast similar amount of costs. Additionally, the manufacturer will go through the losses from the decreasing sales. The sale of Toyota in the United States this year went down by 16 to 19 percent - equal to 99 thousand cars that is the most miserable figure from the time when 1998.Toyota has realized a reason for the acceleration pedal issue, which is found in their car. It was actually the water condensation unit. The issue takes place as soon as, the cold season come, the heating is turned on and therefore raises the rubbing within the mechanical parts. The issue should be solved by including an intermediate as it should be.In reaction to a running condition, Toyota Motor executive Akio Toyoda called a news conference in Japan and express regret in public for the first time to the owners of the cars for any trouble that it has been adjusted for the necessary repair.The car company is happy to end with that it detected the cause why the acceleration pedal almost not or even did not set back to its' right point as it should be. On the 1st February, Toyota made widely known about a necessary automobile maintenance in the United States, Europe, China, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.In spite of the direct losses as a result of this problem, Toyota is very concerned in a serious manner about its esteem and honor. Up till now, the company had an outstanding reputation but now customers might be not so relying on anymore for support. In particular, if it bring forth that the company had a go at it about this issue is 2007 and keep distributing the models with a fault. It is declared but not proved that the previous Toyota car trials revealed that the acceleration pedal can crack.Regardless of these issues, the world's biggest car producer regards to close the next financial year in profit as likely. After 31 March, the financial year will be ended; its net profit will extend to 80 billion yen (864 million USD).Toyota sales figure in the last quarter was limited to 2.07 million cars - 227 thousand over in a last year. The net profit belonging to last quarter was 1.2 billion USD.Stacey Aston working with the team of <a href="http://www.irelandspares.com/"> car parts Ireland </a>suppliers from the last 4 years, she love to drive her Toyota around the countrysideRead Article

Great article over on Pirates Prospects. In it Tim Williams says that those of us who equate Rudy Owens with Zach Duke have our heads up some place really bad (or haven't seen Owens pitch).
I've seen Owens more than anyone not affiliated with the Pirates. I saw him a lot in 2009 when he was a soft tossing left hander, throwing 88-91 MPH. I saw him in Altoona in the early part of the 2010 season, when he was carrying his success over to the higher levels. I saw him later in the year when he saw his velocity increase to 90-93 MPH, absolutely dominating opposing hitters. Today I saw him throwing 91-93 MPH, and continuing his domination.
Maybe it's time to get excited.

New video from The KGB - STONE BOOGIE
"We don't judge, but we acknowledge that acting and performing music are very kindred spirits. You write something down, go into a recording booth, and reenact the emotion onstage. At one point in time, there was a code of conduct: creed and credential. And I've said this before on Twitter, but hip-hop was once an Ivy League institution, and now it's become a community college—you don't need any qualifications to come on in. And, quite frankly, it can be a little embellished-upon. There's a low entry level, and it's become monotonous and congested. All you need to do is be able to rhyme "cat" and "hat," and you can become an MC. But executives have a lot to do with the larger agenda to emasculate and colonize. I believe hip hop is being used in some mass way to influence underachievement. Maybe these individuals may not be aware of the larger agenda, and how they're being puppeteered, but if they are, that's even more shameful."
— Cee-Lo Green, on the use of hip-hop as a mechanism to influence underachievement. (via randumcharacter)
