With all the Tom Bradley and JoePa talk, it made me think of the coaching situation. There has been a lot of discussion whether or not Bradley will take the Pitt vacancy should the opportunity present itself. If he does, it could signal the beginning of the end of the Paterno regime.
This could all be much ado about nothing. However, one thing is for certain. Sooner or later, Joseph Vincent Paterno will no longer be the coach. There has been much speculation about who the next coach could and should be. I think we all agree that it needs to be somebody who upholds the reputation that Penn State has, that it is first an institution of higher learning and then a football program secondly. This has made me do a little thinking and two names that nobody has mentioned that could be considered "outside the box" yet still in the Penn State way and the Penn State family. Fran Ganter and Jerry Sandusky.
I know both of these gentlemen are in their 60s and they may have no interest in the position. Also, due to their age, we might not get more than 5-10 years out of them but both were mentioned at one time or another in their respective careers as heir apparents to the postion. So if Bradley were to take the Pitt job and remove himself from the equation it could possibly open the door for something like this. Or am I crazy for even thinking they are viable options?

43. Keep Your Diet Basic. Stick to organic grass fed meat (avoid factory farmed meat), fish that isn't farm raised, cage free eggs, free range chicken, as well as organic fruit, veggies, nuts, and seeds.
44. Macronutrient Mayhem. Here's a basic daily macronutrient outline: Eat approximately 0.8-1.0 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight, roughly 100-200 grams of carbs (depending how much you weigh), and 20-50 grams of healthy fats such as olive, coconut, and fish oil per day.
45. Implement Carb Loading & Carb Cycling. I always say "Cheat On Your Diet, Not Your Girlfriend". So if you're 19% bodyfat or less try to have one cheat meal or one carb load meal per week. Don't go crazy though…when you carb load be sure to stick to healthy carbs like brown rice, yams, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal.
46. Carb Up Often If You're Lean. If you're lean (up to approximately 10% bodyfat if you're male or 16% bodyfat if you're female) don't be afraid to have a high carb/carb load day every 4-5 days or so instead of just once per week.
47. Cheat Meals Aren't For Everyone. If you're 20% bodyfat or above, you should avoid cheat meals until you get under this percentage.
48. Carb Cycling For Dummies. Here's a basic carb cycling schedule if you're just starting out: Have 3-4 medium carb days, 1-2 low carb days, 1-2 high carb days. On medium day carbs will be around 1-1.5 grams per pound of body weight, on low days carbs will be at 0.3-.80 grams per pound of body weight, and on high carb day carbs will be at 2-3 grams per pound of body weight.
49. Don't Be A Fatty. On carb load days be sure to keep your fat intake low. I recommend 20 grams or less.
50. Don't Overcardio. Never do cardio for more then 46-60 minutes per session. If you have a lot of fat to lose and need to do more cardio try to break it up into two parts, morning & evening. For example, do 30-45 minutes in the morning before breakfast and 30-45 minutes in the evening. The negative effects of doing too much cardio suck (lowered power output, increased cortisol, muscle loss, strength loss, overuse injuries, boredom).
51. Walk It Out. Low intensity, long duration cardio (walking) is the best option available for those who are concerned with losing size and strength. This one of my favorite fat loss methods and is also a favorite of many great bodybuilders (i.e. Dorian Yates). Walking has the least negative effect on your size and strength gains and and it will also improve your insulin sensitivity. Walking will also allow you to eat more calories while also keeping you lean (especially when you are in mass gain mode). I recommend walking for 45-60 minutes per session. Doing the stanky leg = optional.
52. Power Walk. Just like those crazy women you see strutting it out in the mall; walking cardio isn't supposed to be a slow stroll through the park. You've got to haul ass and try to keep your heart rate around 65%. Don't think that just because I say you can walk to lose fat that you can just go out there and walk like you're taking a romantic stroll on the beach.
53. Step Up Your Walk Game. Try walking with a weighted vest, a sled, up hills, through canyons, up stairs, over rough terrain, pushing a baby stroller if you're a mom, etc. Walking on a treadmill every workout is boring and lame.
54. Just Say No To Blood Sweat & Tears. Most people think you have to be covered in blood, sweat, tears, and vomit at the end of the workout if you're going to lose fat and get ripped. This notion is totally false and it's mostly all marketing hype from trainers trying to sell "new" and "never before seen" workout programs. I really think this concept has turned into a really annoying Badge of Honor in most gyms these days. Honestly though you can lose fat and build a badass physique by simply eating right, doing basic compound exercises, walking, and resting. It's a shame most people don't want to hear that. Sure you've gotta train with intensity but don't be a dumbass and over train. Sorry but Crossfit & Pukefest Style Bootcamps are not the holy grail of fitness. Sue me if you disagree…I really don't care. You can do 10,000 reps per session using your new "badass workout" but I'd bet $10,000 that I can probably still kick your ass. Oh wait…and I'm probably still more ripped too. Don't believe the hype! (Note: If you're offended by what I just said and came to this blog looking for hugs you're in the wrong place. If you found this page by accident and actually need a real hug please click here)
55. Use "Crunchless" Abdominal Exercises. Some of my favorite "crunchless" abdominal exercises are: Mountain Climbers, Plank, Renegade Dumbbell Row, Forearm Plank, Sumo Deadlift to Curl, Windshield Wipers, L-Pullups, Chin-Ups, and Front Squats.
56. Go Gangster. Add these seldom used exercises to your routine: Sledge hammer slam, Alligator crawl, plate pushes, windshield wipers, kettlebell slams.
57. Keep Your Ab Workouts Short. You don't have to spend an hour doing abdominal exercises in order to build rock hard six pack abs , in fact, you can get in a great abdominal workout in just a few minutes, as demonstrated in this 6 minute ab workout.
58. Beware False Prophets. Seems like everywhere you turn these days a new "guru" comes out with a shiny brand new way to get six pack abs. Six pack abs aren't rocket science, there are millions of dudes running around in Africa right now with ripped abs who have never even touched a weight, done a single crunch, or pounded a single scoop of protein powder. Save your money.
59. Abdominal Exercises Are Overrated. Let's face it. With the right diet, 80-90% of you could probably sit on the couch, never touch a weight, never do any cardio, and still get lean. I am also a firm believer that you can probably squat, deadlift, military press, and pull-up/chin-up your way to six pack abs without ever doing a traditional "abdominal exercise". See #58 above if you aren't convinced.
60. Don't Be A Part-Time Champion. Once you get in shape don't let yourself go and become an out of shape fat ass again. What's the point!
61. Don't Be A Crybaby. We all know that dieting and training can be tough, especially when you're trying to get ripped. There is no need to tweet and post status updates on Facebook every 2 seconds about how much you hate training and dieting because we already know it sucks. All of that negative energy could be channeled into something positive instead. Something like squatting. Or helping others.
62. Stay Positive Regardless. Getting ripped isn't easy and there are bound to be setbacks on the road to success. Be endlessly positive with yourself, never listen to the haters, and always believe you can do it. Feel free to tweet me if you need an extra dose of motivation or a swift kick in the ass.
63. Train Your Ass Off. I know those ripped fitness models you see working out in the fitness magazines and on tv in the ab gadget infomercials are smiling the entire time they are doing the "workout"…but in real life these people are training harder than most people can even imagine and their workouts are nothing to smile about. (Disclaimer: See #54 above if you still aren't sure what overtraining means)
64. Don't Be The Local Gym Evangelist. Sure you have probably made some great progress by using these tips (how can you not right lol) but you don't need to waste valuable time in the gym yapping about it. Stay focused and handle your business. Trust me…if you have enough oxygen left in your lungs after your set to yap it up at the water cooler…you probably aren't training with enough intensity make a dent in your abdominal fat at all. Don't worry though brochacho, you can always tweet your gym buddies your six pack secrets later. (Note: This may be more of a 'how not to be a tool' tip, but it will still help you train more efficiently…which will help you in your quest for six pack perfection.)
65. Avoid Pussification. This is a memo to all of the male readers: Fellas, the Pussification Movement must stop now. When you enter the gym you aren't there to look cute. You aren't there to shake your ass or do balancing tricks on silly blue balls (you should already know that blue balls suck anyway). You are there to do manly shit. You are there to throw weight around. Preferably heavy weights. Trust me when I tell you…whatever your goal is (fat loss, muscle building, six pack abs, maintenance)…hardcore, old school strength training will make a bigger difference than anything else, REGARDLESS. Not dance workouts, silly toning circuits, or any new hyped up "sexy" or "cutting edge" workout bullshit you may see out there.

Wind rattles the last dry leaves in the red oaks. In the dark shadow of cedars, footfalls crunch through crusty snow. The river murmers, running clear and high. Her dark, slow portions hide rainbows—many too big, or too spirited, to maintain attachments for long. The winter travel is at hand.
Last winter, about this time, this is what I was doing. And, I don't mind saying, I'd rather be steelheading than doing much of anything else this time of year. Certainly beats shovelling snow, which I was doing earlier today.
A few posts back, we talked about late witner, early spring travel. Wading in frozen rivers may not sound particulartly attractive to a lot of folks (which is precisely what makes it particularly attractive to me), but for those who do find it alluring enough to consider, it's quite possible that no better place exists for it, right now, than Ohio. The stocking of wild, Little Manistee River strains from Michigan made it all possible, according to my good friend Craig Lewis of Erie Outfitters. Craig and I have spend many memorable afternoons on rivers like the Vermillion, the Grand, the Rocky, the Chagrin, and the Conneaut.
So add Ohio to my list. Where else have I been this time of year? Georgia comes to mind (couldn't think of a clever way to say "Georgia on my mind" without getting too cute for comfort).
This is pro bass fisherman, Mike McClelland. He was gracious enough welcome me aboard his ship down on Lake Lanier a couple springs back. That's a spotted bass he's holding and, in case you're not familiar with spots, that's a real tank. We didn't catch a ton of fish every day, but every one of them was a tank.
"I think spots are the hardest-fighting bass there are," Mike told me. "I know you love those smallmouths, and they're definitely tough, but I think spots are just a little meaner."
I caught a few big spots in the 5-pound range down on Lanier and I won't admit they're tougher than smallmouths, but it's a pretty close call. Until you've gone toe-to-toe with a 6-pound smallie in the Mississippi River, you probably aren't qualified to make the comparison. River smallies are pumping iron against current all their lives. And they learn things. Most have been hooked several times in their lives, and it's pretty common to have a big Mississippi smallie race toward pressure as soon as it's pricked. Within a nano second you have this little package of dynamite right at your feet that can change direction by 180 degrees without slowing down. Spells "snap." Can't really relate how many times big river smallmouths snapped 10-pound lines on me before I learned to anticipate that move and loosen the drag.
But my river smallmouths are encased in ice and won't bite this time of year. And, while we can readily catch them through the ice in certain places, they absolutely won't fight as hard as a Georgia spotted bass that's swimming around in 60°F water.
And if you really need to do something about that smallie Jones that makes your hands shake and your eyes twitch every March, head over to Lake Jocassee. A 9 pounder was taken there several years ago, and though most people head there for the prolific numbers of 2- to 5-pound brown trout, Jocassee remains the premier smallmouth fishery in Georgia, as far as I know. Whatever you decide to fish for, Georgia is a great winter destination, even for hardened winter fishing addicts like me. Love driving through the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Where to next? Hmm. A lifetime of winter expeditions provides plenty of angling options, in every imaginable climate…

An in depth scouting report of point guard Javan Felix, who joins Rick Barnes and the Texas Longhorns basketball program as a member of the 2012 class.
Texas was recruiting House, who has seen his stock explode over the summer and was thought to favor the Longhorns. This comes on the heels of losing top recruit Marcus Smart earlier in the week to Okie State. Just a brutal, brutal time for basketball recruiting for the Horns. Barnes is really struggling lately with in-state recruits as he seems to be focusing more and more on OOS prospects. Needless to say, I'm not overly optimistic about the Harrisons, Matt Jones, Julius Randle, or Keith Frazier for the class of 2013, as they are all national recruits who are being recruited by the very top programs in the country.

MS Sufferer Neil Cavuto Slams 'Horses' Asses' at MSNBC for Mocking Ann Romney's MS Therapy
As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell on Monday shamefully mocked Ann Romney for riding horses to combat her multiple sclerosis.
On Wednesday, Fox News's Neil Cavuto, an MS sufferer himself, took on all the insensitive anchors and commentators at MSNBC that have participated in this attack on Mrs. Romney rightly calling them "horses' asses" (videos follow with transcripts and commentary):
Cavuto teased the final segment of Your World by saying, "Lean Forward, bend over. You've got a disease in your name. Maybe you should stop calling names. I'll explain."
For those unfamiliar, "Lean Forward" is MSNBC's motto.
After a commercial break, Cavuto elaborated:
NEIL CAVUTO: Finally, you know I promised myself, I promised myself, Neil, do not get involved in this one. Neil, just butt out. That defending Ann Romney on the latest attack and her riding horses to deal with the multiple sclerosis would look too self-serving. That because I have MS, my comments might be taken with a big grain of pity salt and more than a hint of sympathy bias. Well, guilty as charged, but sorry, I'm just charging in because I've had enough. Enough of condescending commentators at another news channel whose incredible ignorance of illness I know all too well risks being accepted by an audience that might not know the facts that well.
So, here are the facts. Ann Romney has multiple sclerosis. I have multiple sclerosis. Ann does not need your sympathy. I don't need your sympathy, that is unless it makes you feel sorry enough for me that you want to watch my show at 8PM Eastern Time on Fox Business Network. At least I'm up against a guy who is not physically ill, Bill O'Reilly.
But enough of me. Back to me and this crucial point. Ann Romney deals with her MS riding horses. It's called hippotherapy, some call it dressage, but at its core for MS patients, it refers to the use of horseback riding as a treatment for medical conditions namely for treating walking difficulties. Neurologists have long debated whether riding around on horses is a cure for MS, but many firmly believe it helps relieve some of the very real symptoms of MS.
As their industry bible "Neurology Care" noted last year, and other studies have found that, and I quote here, "…some people treated with riding therapy exhibited improvement in balance, emotional functioning, pain and muscle stiffness." Other studies have pointed to improved mood and walking ability. Still others, more energy.
My point is that this is a legitimate therapy. Now, do I use this equine therapy? No. But that's only because I'm generally bigger than the horses and I don't want to hurt them. Ann is not, so there is no such risk.
But seriously, let's get serious. Ann Romney doesn't need my defense but her critics need to use common sense here. Just because you might find such therapy strange, trust me when I tell you this disease it helps treat is a lot more strange and a lot more cruel.
So go ahead and have a good stupid laugh over Ann and her horses and whether they had anything to do with her illness. Ignore the fact she got really into this big-time about the time she was diagnosed with this illness. You might want to look that up. It just seems odd to me that a network with the very letters "MS" in its name wouldn't resist making fun of someone who has to live with MS every day.
Ann Romney doesn't need their pity, just their accuracy. She's got a lot of money, but it clearly has not bought her a path from a lot of hell, has it?
Take it from me, I'm not horsing around. These guys taking pot shots at Ann Romney are horse's asses.
Take it from the Multiple Sclerosis Society, the American Academy of Neurology, the European Neurological Society, the MS Research Center, the Child Neurology Society, and so many others who devote so much to an illness that is so bad and chronicle the very real benefit of horseback riding that they all report has a proven history of doing some good.
Hippotherapy, dressage, working with horses, whatever the hell you want to call it. You don't have to lean forward to appreciate it. Just check your facts before you joke about it, because right about now, you condescending, sanctimonious twits who are allegedly healthy, you have proven you do not know the benefits of horseback riding one bit. But you sure are good at piling on the lies and shoveling what amounts to unadulterated horse -- well, stuff.
Alright, I just had to say that. Again, I don't want your sympathy, but do remember what I said about 8PM against, anyway, FBN.
Sorry, I just had to say that because sometimes you know you repeat lies often enough, some impressionable good people they're fooled. You can lie to them and they're descent enough to believe it. I'm just telling you, don't. I just gave you the facts.
And ask yourself this: if they're that egregious at lying on that issue, what else are they lying about?
After breaking this story Tuesday, I have received countless email messages from folks all around the country that have either successfully used hippotherapy themselves or for a loved one.
The response has been extraordinary.
Despite all the attention that has been brought to this issue, I have yet to see anyone at MSNBC, in particular O'Donnell, apologize for their behavior.
But it's not just the folks at MSNBC. Others in the media have similarly mocked Mrs. Romney about this issue.
We at NewsBusters often talk about the depths the Obama-loving press are willing to go to get their beloved Messiah reelected.
You would have thought ridiculing the wife of a presidential candidate for how she deals with a very serious illness was too low for so-called "journalists" to go even in an election year.
Apparently not.
Thank you, Neil, for not butting out.
And to the rest of the media that still think this is funny, shame on you. Shame on you all.
(HT Bill Hobbs)

MSNBC and NBC
Submitted by CO2Maker on Thu, 06/21/2012 - 5:10am.
Who are they? From the Wikipedia entry:
MSNBC is a progressive cable news channel based in the United States available in the US, South Africa, the Middle East and Canada. Its name is derived from the most common abbreviations for Microsoft and the National Broadcasting Company.
msnbc.com, a separate company, is the central news website for the NBC News family, featuring interactivity and multimedia plus original stories and video which augment the content from NBC News and partners.
. . . Following several years in which many observers[who?] noted politically liberal bias in the channel's programming and news operations, MSNBC publicly acknowledged its progressive agenda in October 2010 while launching a marketing campaign with the tagline "Lean Forward." In a June 2011 interview, MSNBC president Phil Griffin stated that "MSNBC has established a sensibility, a position, a platform" and that "MSNBC is really the place to go for progressives."

Somebody needs to take a flame-thrower to MSNBC! What scum! Its funny that this is the same news network who was complaining about the lack of civility by conservatives in Wisconsin. Also, this is the same network that devoted a whole week whining about the reporter who dared to ask Barry a question.

I didn't know that about Cavuto
Submitted by lgeubank on Thu, 06/21/2012 - 12:18am.
I didn't know Cavuto has MS. I did know he's an amazingly decent, honest, amiable newsman. And he gets the most insanely vicious email sometimes. It's almost comical, his detractors are so low and hateful.
Are there any decent, normal people on the news staffs of left-wing networks? Or are they all frothing, America-bashing sociopaths? It's a good question for a panel discussion.

It had escaped me, my service also allows me to block selected channels from the program guide. MSNBC goes off today, not because of their political bias, not because they're a bunch of partisan hacks, I can accept that, but because they're the most hateful, unhappy people on television, who exude not even an ounce of dignity. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Neil Cavuto
Submitted by amyshulk on Thu, 06/21/2012 - 8:35am.
Is a breath of fresh air! I had to give up HBO before Game of Thrones came back on, but losing Neil Cavuto on FNC hurt MUCH worse!!!
It helped that HBO did a free weekend and I was able to watch the whole season of Game of Thrones, but I didn't find out until late Saturday/early Sunday, and so I had to watch all 10 back to back!
Now that the 5th book is in paperback, I'm tempted to get it - I have just enough AMAZON {won from entering sweepstakes} to do the 4 for 3 promo, so I just might!
Anyway, Cavuto - as he would say, "enough about me, now back to me" He gets it. He calls out the pols when they elide, left or right, and he does NOT care for bullies. L.O. is just another "intellectual" bully.
And, L.O.'s an idiot - if we are to conduct things "only" via majority approved venues, whether IRL, politics, what have you, then O'Care by definition, is toast.

While I agree with the thrust of your comments, I have to take issue with one point. You said: "And to the rest of the media that still think this is funny, shame on you. Shame on you all."
I don't think that is possible, since it would require that they have the ability to feel shame, which implies having a moral code. Their behavior shows this not to be the case.

Well said, and absolutely right on target. Moreover, it's a disgrace that the media
elite, who are so quick to criticize other segments of our society when criticism is
lacking for despicable acts, stands back and allows this crap to be spewed on-air
and neither the cable networks, the stations, the on-air talent, or anyone else stands
up and say "Enough!!!!" I wonder what the reaction would have been if this was
a Hillary Clinton, or a Jill Biden; and that being said, where are their voices in this
despicable behavior?

A class act O'Donnell, et al can't match
Submitted by SeniorD on Thu, 06/21/2012 - 12:17pm.
Neil Cavuto, who has to memorize his entire show in case he can't see the teleprompter, displays more class in his left little toe than O'Donnell and the rest of the commies on MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, NPR, Current et al, have in their collective bodies. None of the current news readers displaying their amply charms, blonde helmets, excessive million dollar salaries and good grooming couldn't memorize 5 seconds of their show.
Everyone knows, but doesn't mention, Edward R. Murrow, the sainted actor cum news reader, approached news reading as show business. His successors have not only kept up that sham, but have also thrown in anti-American though into their news shows.
And people wonder why I haven't watched broadcast news since 1982.

I used to have Cavuto on DVR--but his slobbery Father's Day essay about how great a father Obama was did me in. This sounds very constructive--this one. But that other one? Yick! Also he overdoes it with the DEMAND IT stuff...in my opinion. And this last six mos or so, he always gives the Obama side to every issue--I guess trying to be "fair." He responds..."Well, they would say...."

IMHO The fathers day ode was *very* good. Cavuto was telling those that voted for O last go 'round, that while O is a good dad, he's just that - a good dad. LOTS of those - gee, let me think, who else is a loving family man? It's on the tip of my tongue... M something? That's what came to my mind, and I'm sure it came to the minds of those who voted for O, and while yeah, they are both good dads, which one has a plan for our economy that will stop the damage?
That ode gave those O voters the freedom to NOT vote for O, without fearing they would be labeled racist haters.
As in all things Cavuto does, it was nothing short of brilliant.
And his FNC show IS good, if you are into back stories on issues and people - Cavuto is an extremely skilled interviewer.
As I said, I had to downsize, so I lost FNC. I really miss it.

Longhorn, Ryan Crouser is the new NCAA shot put champion. Out of his 6 attempts he fouled 5 of them, only recording one legal mark. However, that mark, 66 feet 7.5 inches, was just good enough to sneak off with the title by a measly 1.5 inches.

I have never seen a shot putter foul that many times. The shot put isn't like the long jump (where jumpers try and get as close to the board as possible to maximize their distance from it); All you just have to do is keep your body (all be it massive body for most of these guys) in a 7 foot diameter circle while throwing the shot. OK, that's a lot easier said than done; it actually requires a lot of grace (but probably not that much more than is required from a good NFL offensive lineman). If he had fouled on his third attempt, he wouldn't have even been able to continue in the competition, and would have finished dead last. Very nerve racking sequence of throws there, but congratulations Ryan, nonetheless.
Through the first day of the decathlon Texas has two major contenders. Johannes Hock set some huge lifetime bests in his last few events of the day. He is truly big dude for a decathlete too, so obviously he had one of the better throws in the shot put. However, not very many 220+ pound men (height 6'2) can carry their body over a full 400m track in 49.8 seconds on a hot humid day, after competing in 4 other events (For comparison that's about what Sanya Richards Ross runs fresh in perfect conditions weighing in at only 135lbs). Usually decathletes have the most chiseled bodies of pretty much any athlete. You have to be strong for the throwing events, but you also have to be able to run the metric mile at the end of 9 events in at worst 5 minute or so mile pace, sprint 100m in nearly 10 seconds, jump high, and be able to quickly clear those hurdles as well. Except for the shotput, and maybe the discus, pretty much the only thing all the events in the decathlon have in common is that fat doesn't work in your favor. Just google image UT grad Trey Hardee for an example of the type of bodies decathletes tend to have...yikes! Hock has room for improvement there, just saying, but that makes his marks in the running and jumping events all that more impressive. And the good news is, he's a freshman!
1 Jeremy Taiwo 4389 Washington SR
2 Curtis Beach 4383 Duke JR
3 Johannes Hock 4224 Texas FR
4 Romain Martin 4206 Texas-Arlington SR
5 Isaac Murphy 4201 Texas SR
Other longhorn highlights from day one of the NCAA out door track and field championships included UT qualifying for the finals in the women's 4x100m relay (7th), the womens 400m dash (Courtney Okolo), and the women's 400 hurdles (Danielle Dowie).
The final two days of the NCAA track and field championships (the glamour events) will be broadcast on ESPNU this weekend, so check your local listings. Unfortunately Goodwin is not competing for this year's long jump title, but there are several Texas athletes still to watch. I'll try and give some updates as they come, in the comments section of this post.

If you got engaged over the holidays, you are far from alone! Hollywood jewelry stores must have been busy with all the celebrities who've also recently decided to tie the knot, including Reese Witherspoon, Natalie Portman, Jason Mraz, Leann Rimes, Eddie Cibrian, Hugh Hefner, Vivica A. Fox, Sherri Shepherd and Ginnifer Goodwin.
Newly Engaged Celebrities
Reese Witherspoon got engaged to agent Jim Toth. He proposed with a custom-designed 4-carat Ashoka-cut diamond and platinum engagement ring with a pavé diamond band. Similar to a cushion-cut, an Ashoka diamond has 62 facets and rounded corners, and is named after the 41.37 carat diamond which belonged to King Ashoka of India.
Reese, a34-year-old Oscar winner and mother-of-two, was previously married to Ryan Philippe and had a long-term relationship with actor Jake Gyllenhaal. Hopefully the third time's the charm for Reese and Jim! There's no word yet on when the wedding will take place, which unsurprising for this famously private couple.
Another famously private actress, Natalie Portman recently got engaged to dancer/choreographer Benjamin Millipied. The intensely sexy couple met during the production of the movie The Black Swan, which she starred in and he choreographed. Simultaneously with their engagement, Portman, 29, and Millipied, 33, announced that they are expecting their first child together. In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, Portman said "I have always kept my private life private but I will say that I am indescribably happy and feel very grateful to have this experience."
Singer Jason Mraz couldn't wait to announce the news of his December 23rd engagement to singer-songwriter Tristan Prettyman. " He posted the good news on his Twitter account in all caps: "SHE SAID YES." Prettyman then twittered, "For Once. I Am Speechless..i did good! holy crap!! man of my dreams!!! for the rest of my life!!!"[sic]
Though rumors of their engagement have persisted for months, Leann Rimes and fiancé Eddie Cibrian finally got engaged on Christmas Eve, and announced their engagement on Twitter. The CSI:Miami actor reportedly purposed to the country music star with a five-carat oval-shaped diamond ring. They controversially met during filming of the TV movie Northern Lights while both married to other people. It's believed they were having an affair for months before ending the marriages and going public with their relationship in August, 2009.
Cibrian proposed with a 5-carat oval diamond set in a rose gold fleur-de-lis. According to People, the couple wanted an antique feel, but a new ring, and worked with Polachek jewelers to make it happen. Rimes thanked her fans on Twitter, saying, "Thank you for all your well wishes!! We are extremely excited and look forward to a beautiful future. It's been an incredible last few days, I was shocked!!! We are blessed, our families are so happy and our lives are filled with love."
Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and his Playmate girlfriend Crystal Harris also got engaged on Christmas Eve, and also announced their engagement via Twitter. There's a 60-year age difference between the two, who have been dating for the past year. Harris recently shared a picture of her new round diamond engagement ring with a diamond-encrusted band. Since she's a big fan of the movie The Little Mermaid, he put the ring inside of a Little Mermaid music box, then wrapped it as a Christmas present. She told People magazine that the first thing he said to her was, "I hope it fits!"
Hefner and Harris are hardly the only couple with an age difference. 46-year old actress Vivica A. Fox got engaged to her 27-year-old club promoter beau Omar "Slim" White He purportedly proposed with an 8-carat diamond ring on December 26th, while they were vacationing in South Beach. I wonder how a club promoter affords an 8-carat ring?
Another December 26th engagement was The View cohost Sherri Shepherd and TV writer Lamar Sally. While the couple was vacationing in San Diego, Sally got friends to decorate his house with lights and flowers. They returned home to her dog wearing a Santa beard and hat, sitting next to a tiny little box with the ring.
Big Love actress Ginnifer Goodwin and her boyfriend of two years Joey Kern waited to share their happy news with their families before they announced the engagement to the public on Christmas Eve. Kern, an actor best known for his roles in the movies Cabin Fever and Grind, proposed with a ring he designed himself. Ginnifer and Joey are reportedly planning their wedding for fall 2011.

Quick question: How does a premier receiver talent go from the No. 1-ranked prospect at his position to an overlooked, underappreciated talent struggling to stay visible in a relatively above-average (at best) wideout draft class?
Answer: Play for the USC Trojans.
Maybe that's an oversimplification of Robert Woods' strange, disappointing 2012 season, but I'll bet it's not far off. Woods' blend of route-running savvy, strong hands, vision and good speed (mid-to-late 4.4s) should have him squarely in the second half of round one, especially when plodders like Cal's Keenan Allen are projected to land in the same territory. Yet, the Trojan wideout could go anywhere from late day one to late day two--not exactly a scenario a big-time receiver expects to find himself in come draft time.
Of course, that's exactly where Woods is at right now, victimized this season by a nagging leg injury, Matt Barkley's powder puff arm, USC's failing coaching staff and the rise of fellow Trojan wideout Marqise Lee, who will garner plenty of early consideration for the No. 1 receiver spot in next year's draft class (hey, sound familiar?).
But while Lee has the look and skill set of a lethal No. 1 receiver at the NFL level, Woods is cut out in the Greg Jennings mold--an elite-level route-runner who can create separation and make tough catches, but isn't necessarily a go-to target outside of a West Coast offensive scheme. That means Woods likely isn't in the first-round picture for teams interested in receivers who can routinely stretch the field, elevate and take the top off of the defense. But he's a knockout prospect for a team like Miami--an organization that is currently very interested in receivers who can shred the route tree, get open and make plays after the catch. And if that player has the juice the stretch the field, even better.
That isn't to say Woods can't make plays downfield--he's actually better at going up to get the football than his size (6'1") suggests. He's also shifty enough to work his way through traffic and find daylight. Ultimately, Woods is a creator with the ball in his hands, and will bring very deceptive speed and downfield blocking ability to the NFL team that calls his name on draft night ... or the next night. Whatever.
Robert Woods' 2012 season might've been a disappointing one in terms of overall productivity, but it might also eventually slide him all the way to the NFL team that most craves a receiver with Woods' skill set and potential for immediate impact. Sounds like a win-win in Miami.

Yesterday's panel went beautifully, and I really enjoyed getting to meet several of you who were in the audience. (and yes, I'll post some of the highlights of our discussion next week, as… read more

As far as wakeboard manufacturers go, Hyperlite has been around the block. For 2013 their top wakeboard offering is definitely the Marek Nova. As the pro model for wakeboard marvel, Rusty Malinoski, you know it has to be ready for big airs and big landings.
Board Profile
Rider Skill: Intermediate to Expert
Core Material: Machined Nova Material, Carbon Graphite
Rocker Type: Abrupt Continuous
Fin Configuration: Four 1.0" P-Wing fins
Pro athlete who uses it: Rusty Malinoski
Warranty: 2 Years
Lengths Available: 135, 140, 145
Coming off the success of the 2012 Nova, this year the graphics have been revamped and the design has been a little more refined. The first thing you'll notice is that this board is thin and light. Thanks to the machined Nova core material the overall volume has been reduced by 15% allowing for plenty of stability, but still offering the maneuverability that only an ultralight board can give.
It's interesting that the Nova employs a continuous rocker design, as most boards geared toward advanced riders often have a three stage rocker for more pop. However, the shape was chosen to provide good pop with excellent response. That means that riders will be able to start initiating their tricks sooner, and will have greater control while in the air.
A New Approach to Board Construction
It goes without saying that investing in a Hyperlite Marek series board would be a sound choice, solely because so many top pros choose them as their whip of choice. But if you are the type that needs a little more convincing, the additional proof you are looking for lies in how the Nova is constructed.
As was already mentioned, the Nova features the ultralight machined Nova foam core, but Hyperlite approaches construction and assembly from a different point of view, because this board differs from typical wakeboards in a few key places.
For instance, while most boards are made with woven fiberglass -- which can eventually loosen and compromise the strength of the board -- the Nova features layered fibers that will maintain strength and consistency time after time, making this board a great choice for a long term shredder.
Also, most boards have issues with the sidewalls wearing thing and breaking over time, this is called delamination. Every wakeboard company has developed methods to prevent this from happening with mixed results, but Hyperlite seems to have developed a winner with their monocoque constructed outer layer. In a nutshell, Hyperlite has made the top and bottom outside layers into one solid piece providing an incredibly strong shield around the board that can withstand major impacts.
Now, to add a cherry on top of this fantastic wakeboard design, the Marek Nova features Hyperlite's unique Strata Track mounting system for easy stance adjustments. Couple that with the patented Hyperlite System bindings, and riders can mount their boots in just about any position imaginable making a truly custom tailored ride.
Primary Features
- Fully Machined Nova Core
- Strata Mounting System
- Enduro Base
- Two Stage Channel with 9 degree Angled Fins
Who's this board for?
This board is obviously marketed toward seasoned riders who recognize the value of light weight, quick response, and more pop. And make no mistake, this board will absolutely deliver for advanced riders. However, even if you are an intermediate rider who is ready to take your riding to the next step, the Marek Nova is a board that can take you there and beyond.
Do you need help finding the perfect board?
The right wakeboard is out there for every skill level, so please feel free to drop me an email and let me know about your riding history and what your goals are. I would be happy to make a recommendation for you based on your own individual needs.

Gap in iOS and Android marketshare: a Gizmodo perspective
Well I'm not the greatest fan of Gizmodo, but Sam Biddle just posted an article that tries to sum up the reasons why Android is succeeding in marketshare over iOS.
Android Is Popular Because It's Cheap, Not Because It's Good
Basically he says that Android is winning because it offers a broad range of devices at a broad range of prices. Sure he says that Android is not good, but I have to disagree with him. It is good. Except most people that buy Android don't buy the best devices (Nexus 4, HTC One X+, SGS3, Nexus 10) and don't want to pay a premium price on their electronics. Those people will usually buy Android devices that are 0$ on contract or with a cheap price (Nexus 7).
Some might say "Yeah, now they offer the iPhone 4 for 0$ and iPhone 4S for 99$ on contract", but his theory might not apply to the US and Japan (See for Verizon and ATT). The portrait depicted by Biddle is internationalized.
Now I wonder how this marketshare gap will affect the number of apps available on iOS and Android. Will developers work more on Android since it has a bigger marketshare or the supposed fragmentation on Android will favor iOS? Last numbers report Android 4 is installed on 30% of devices (HERE) while a majority of iOS devices (2/3 and up) have iOS 6. (iOS Version Stats & iOS Adoption Rate)
So, what are your thoughts on this? Please, let's have a mature discussion. No fanboys wars.
Update: As pointed out further down in the discussion by Dmoralize, I misinterpretated the title and the point about people not buying Android because it's good. In fact, the author says it's very good, but it's not the main reason why the majority of people buy Android devices.

Civil War II?

I don't really think so, at least not in the immediate future. I do see the similarities which have been around for probably a good decade or more. Even in the years immediately following the Civil War there were very bitter elections and political discord. The end of the Civil War didn't bring an end to the political animosity and the Southern Democrats were not very cooperative with facilitating reconstruction. Ironically the major advocates from the south for trying to make as seamless a transition as possible back into the Union were Robert E. Lee and James Longstreet. The Civil War did not start with the secession of the southern states and I'm assuming part of your concern is with the news from Texas of its petition to leave the union. In truth these kind of petitions happen frequently it's just that this recent one from Texas is the first time such a petition has received the requisite number of signatures which is only on the order of something like 27,000 if I remember correctly and I have no clue if there's even enough of a backing within Texas to even make it go any further than that. Basically what caused the Civil War in terms of actually getting the shooting going is a boil over of military tensions. You have the South declaring independence. You have President Lincoln challenging the legality of the South breaking away. The South, viewing itself as independent is now going to mobilize to defend what it believes to be its sovereignty. At the same time, you have assets such as Fort Sumter in the south that are still technically Federal property under the US War Department and now Lincoln has to start mobilizing the US military to protect those Federal assets. The South is going to view those assets such as Fort Sumter as either rightfully belonging to the south, or at the very least they will view the presence of those Federal assets as a threat to their own sovereignty and security. In fact the South tried to not only negotiate the withdrawal of Federal forces from those areas, but also offered to buy those facilities as part of a peaceful resolution, but for Lincoln to do so would essentially be recognizing the sovereignty of the Confederacy which was something he wasn't willing to do. So literally what you have is a military standoff with both sides mobilized on a heightened state of alert. The only thing that's needed is for someone to decide to open fire. It literally was a game of chicken between Lincoln and the Confederate government over of the legitimacy of secession. And before someone flies off the handle accusing me of rewriting history and that I'm some post Civil War racist saying it was all state's rights and all that utter nonsense (there's always some mouth breathing Philistine that always does) as if I'm not capable of listening to a composed articulate opposing argument, the whole issue of slavery was one of a number of issues (and a pretty big one at that) that created the political impasse leading to the secession of the south which then leads to yet another political impasse over the legality of secession which leads to the actual shooting. Lincoln wasn't just a politician, he was a very shrewd statesman. I mean if you take a close look at the Emancipation Proclamation, it is a work of art in terms of what it does and the legal and political basis for how it works.
Also keep in mind that America is culturally very different than it was back then. There was a much more independent spirit in America back then. Not only was industrialization taking root, but there was literally more than half a continent worth of frontier to the west that the nation was expanding into. The nation wasn't as heavily interconnected as it is today both socially and in terms of infrastructure although geographically the nation is still large enough to support regional cultural differences.

Larry Gisi
Richland - Essex, Missouri
7th to 9th
"...he is the BEST math teacher you will ever have! He will help you anytime you ask."
"I had Mr. Gisi in 8th grade and I never have learned as much in one year from a teacher as I did that year from him. When he knows a student is capable of doing better than they are, he pushes them to do their best and doesn't expect less than their best."
"Mr. Gisi loves his students and you can see that teaching here makes him happy with his career choice."
"I was scared to be in the class because I heard he yelled a lot and he was mean. Well it turns out he wasn't really mean at all. He did yell a few times (but you just laughed about it later on). He makes you pay attention, that's for sure."
"He is an amazing person and teacher."
"He has the ability to teach us a math lesson and it will stick in our brain. If it doesn't stick we to to his tutoring and he teaches us the lesson over and over. Then he asks us questions to make sure we know what's going on."
"He really likes dry erase markers and golfing supplies."
Mr. Gisi makes sure we know our math because math is one of the most important things you'll learn."
"...he gets on our level to help us learn math. He even misses his lunch hour to help us if we need it."
"Mr. Gisi would really like it if you chose him. You could surprise him with a trip to his classroom and some golf items. He also needs a lot of dry erase markers (he's going through a lot to show us math stuff!) If you don't want to get him golf stuff you maybe could get him North Carolina things (that's his basketball team.)"
"He graduated from Richland in 1963 and then came back a taught in 1967. He has taught here for 41 years."

A Fletcher animal shelter has been hit by thieves again, and this time, it was the Christmas cheer that they made off with.
decorations set up outdoors by volunteers at the Charlie's Angels
Animal Rescue shelter were gone. Metal snowmen, an artificial Christmas
tree and large ornaments that had been hanging from the rafters on the
porch had vanished.
Shelter manager Jan Stepp said the decorations were taken sometime Sunday night or early Monday morning.
About a month ago, someone entered the front door while Stepp was in the back of the building and stole a new laptop computer.
in February, someone stole about $1,000 in cash the group had raised
through collecting parking fees from customers at a nearby business.
steal from people is bad enough, but to steal from someplace like the
animal shelter — a place where we're doing the best we can to save
lives," said Erma Rhodes, vice president of Charlie's Angels. "It's just
real hard to believe people are taking from animals who are already
having a hard time."
Stepp said the decorations meant more than just showing the spirit of the season.
go that little extra mile to decorate so that it draws more attention
to us being here, which you hope will attract more volunteers," she
said. "We need volunteers who will come in and walk the dogs, play with
the dogs and help socialize the dogs."

In The News: Loneliness Is Contagious!
December 16, 2009 at 5:12 pm , by Cherise Bathersfield
It's not just the flu going around this winter. Loneliness is spreading like a virus—minus the bodily fluid—according to a recent study. Apparently one lonely person's isolation from their network of friends has a ripple effect causing the connections between other group members to unravel, infecting them with loneliness.
So, during this holiday season while you're busy setting and confirming travel and dinner plans, don't assume that everyone has some place to go or people to see. Maybe inviting a non-family member to the annual family get-together would add some extra holiday cheer to this year's event. And if you're the one with an empty to-do list, the holidays are a great excuse to email long lost friends. Send them an e-card to let them know that your New Year's resolution is to keep in touch. Write a comment on your friend's newest post on Facebook. Or you could try to meet new friends by volunteering or cultivating a hobby. Websites like Meetup give you access to thousands of groups across the country that host events for practically any activity you can imagine. There really is no reason to be lonely this Christmas!

Very true. These days people don't have time for large social networks and friends might be away with their families. It is a good idea to seek out people who you think might be by themselves over the holidays. Depression goes up during Christmas holidays for this very reason.

Dolly, the fourth named storm of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to make landfall in Mexico.
A Lauderdale County man pleaded guilty
Thursday in a hit-and-run accident that killed a 13-year-old boy.
James O'Neal Wilson pleaded guilty Thursday
morning, four days before he was set to go to trial. District Attorney Chris
Connolly said that after discussions with the teen's family, they agreed to
accept the plea deal.
Wilson pleaded guilty to the felony charge of
leaving the scene of an accident with injuries or fatality. Investigators said
Wilson hit and killed 13-year-old Da'Santo Ingram last October along Lauderdale

Investigators said they had reason to believe
Wilson was under the influence of sleeping pills at the time of the crash.

I cannot for the life of me focus…
By The Redneck Princess on Dec 07, 2011 with Comments 15
On one freaking thing at a time. Seriously.
I am trying to get a blog post done for tomorrow, I have changed my mind 4 times now. I have 4 unfinished posts. None of which I want to post.
So I am trying again.
As I sit here, I have one half made girl Koala bear, which I am dying to finish, but this needs to be first. A scarf that I am going to rip out, as I already have two like it listed on Etsy, I don't need another one. Right?
There are 14 browser tabs open…
I am making banana cake, I was going to make banana bread, but changed my mind 15 times…I almost made caramels instead, but I don't have any condensed milk…I don't think. I didn't really look.
I haven't eaten sugar, or drank coffee…
What the HELL is wrong with me?
I actually worked out today, I was talking to Janis this afternoon and she made me feel guilty, well not intentionally, but she said she has been working out like crazy. I feel guilty. I have been sitting on my ass. Well no I haven't but I promised myself and my dog that we would walk, I promised myself I would lift my weights and do sit ups…I am a lying to myself freaking cow.
Today, I did…
I worked out, I meditated, until paying my bills occured to me, and then I couldn't focus on meditating til I paid them.
Once I paid them, I didn't feel like meditating anymore, so I took the dog for a walk.
We both felt better.
I need to get rid of some energy, seriously.
Ok…I just undid the scarf, that feels better.
And Micheal Buble is singing to me, Christmas songs…and then he wrecks it by talking about his wife. Fuck.
Ok, made icing for cake…do you SEE what I mean here? I am usually totally organized, one thing at a time…
Bhahahahahahah…ok, I don't know who I am trying to fool there, but seriously I normally function at high capacity while multitasking.
So the first thing I need to do, is get this blog post finished. Before next Friday.
I also want to make a formal apology to my friend Susan from Zolemia's Blog, for absolutely SUCKING at getting my post up with the Liebster award that she gave me…I am working on it girlfriend…I really am :)
I will then finish the girl
Panda Koala bear…here is the boy I made today…isn't he cute, cuter than yesterdays, but they kinda look like brothers…
Ok, so my clusterfuckingself is outta here, I have a big baking day tomorrow, and I am thinking I need to go to bed at a normal hour tonight, that might be part of my problem…maybe try and meditate before bed and not stay up late enough to watch Craig Ferguson…as much as I adore him.
I should probably leave the house too I mean like tomorrow, not in the middle of the night, have some kind of human interaction…other than with teenaged boys. It can't possibly be helping.
Have a happy Wednesday my friends, I am outta here……………………….. xoxoxox
