Chilled Lobster Salad consists of romaine, tomato, egg, cucumber, and creamy lemon dressing. (Daniel Mears / The Detroit News)
A couple of anniversaries are coming up at Diamond Jim Brady�s Bistro, one relatively small, the other significant.
The first, in October, is the third anniversary of the move from a location in the rear to cozy, bistro-sized quarters on a prominent corner at the Novi Town Center. The second, in December, will mark an impressive 60 years since founder Jim Brady opened what he called a �saloon� on Seven Mile at Greenfield in Detroit.
Little did he know what a legacy he would be leaving, nor how food would change � and not change � over the years. The current Diamond Jim�s menu of contemporary American fare includes dishes never seen at the original, dishes like almond-crusted ruby trout with garlic beurre blanc and basil-crusted chicken breast filled with boursin cheese. Happily, though, the menu also includes the famous burger, made with the same blend of beef cuts, and chili that proprietors Mary Brady, whose late husband Tom was Jim Brady�s son, and Sharon Juergens, both credentialed chefs, have been known to call �50 year-old chili.� Pretty soon, they�ll have to make that �60 year-old chili.�
The setting is a stylish room with the open kitchen on one wall, the bar on the other and a row of curving, high-backed banquettes and high-topped tables in between on black and white checkerboard floor. There are patios on two sides for those who prefer dining al fresco style, and they just about double the 50 seats in the main space. Interesting art works, including a number of French Impressionist reproductions, and an eye-catching �20s vintage Garland wood-burning stove warm up the space. Service is friendly and unpretentious, like the place itself. And it�s also knowledgeable.
Juergens became a partner in the enterprise three years ago, and she fits in seamlessly, working with Brady and sous chef Greg Brown. Her background at Streetside Seafood shows up in the fish and seafood dishes that are often specials on the menu. And it�s an extremely well-organized menu, starting with some tempting �snacks,� typified by almonds dressed up with rosemary, sea salt and olive oil and proceeding to the list of flatbreads � a nice alternative to the ubiquitous pizza � salads and �bistro plates,� which include a good Caesar salad or the equally appealing toss of mixed greens. Pretty much everything is made in-house, including the array of tempting desserts that stars a luscious chocolate pretzel bar with gelato and salted caramel.
The small bar is integrated nicely into the dining area with its backing of wooden wine crates and nicely displayed bottles, with some arranged in a sort of kiosk between the dining room and patio area.
Diamond Jim Brady�s Bistro, circa 2014, epitomizes what diners want these days. It�s a winning combination of casual tavern and ambitious kitchen in an affordable price structure.
Note: The bistro will close for the Fourth of July weekend.

Barcelona fell behind early but answered with five goals as they hammered Levante 5-1 on the day, 9-2 on aggregate, to advance to the semifinals for the Copa del Rey.
More from our team sites
Levante put some early pressure on Barcelona and scored the match's first goal in the 8th minute thanks to a bit of luck. Loukas Vyntra got free on an corner kick but his header was horribly off target, veering well wide of the net...or at least it should have. The ball hit off the side of Sergi Roberto and deflected back on frame, past José Manuel Pinto to make it 1-0.
Barcelona responded in the 28 minute when Adriano fired a low show from outside the area that elude Javi and found a place in the bottom corner of the goal to even the match at 1-1.
Carles Puyol moved Barca ahead in the 45th minute, putting home a powerful header off a cross from Cristian Tello. The goal extended the Blaugrana's aggregate lead to four goals, effectively ending Levante's already slim hopes.
As the rain continued to fall Barcelona poured it on in the second half bombarding the Levante goal and scoring seemingly at will as the half dragged on. Alexis Saánchez scored twice in two minutes, both times taking advantage of the slick conditions and jumping on mistakes by Javi.
Cesc Fábregs scored Barca's fifth goal of the day in the 68th minute before making way to Abrahim Iffelay, who makes his return from an extended injury.
Barcelona: Pinto, Montoya, Puyol, Bartra, Adriano, Song, Roberto, Iniesta (Pedro 46'), Tello, Sánchez (Mascherano 78'), Fàbregas (Affelay 69')
Goals: Adriano (28'), Puyol (45'), Sánchez (50', 52'), Fàbregas (68')
Levante: Javi, Vyntra, Ángel (Pallardó 59'), Rubén Delgado 72'), Juanfran, Nikos, El Adoua, Sèrgio (Nong 32'), A J Ríos, Nagore, Camaras
Goals: Roberto (o.g. 8')

Seven point five million dollars. That's, on average, how much money dairies pump into the Muleshoe economy in salaries alone. NewsChannel 11's Jennifer Vogel spoke with a dairy to see how they are contributing to their community.
Muleshoe has been recruiting dairies to this part of the country for the last fifteen years. But the industry has really taken off in the last six years.
"This is the starting point for that glass of milk." Joe Osterkamp and his family moved their dairy from Southern California to Muleshoe two years ago. "It's an agriculture community they've very accepting of dairy industry."
Economic development director Janet Clayborn says, the dairies have brought nothing but positive attention to Muleshoe.
"They have very high morals, extremely good work ethics and they've given back to the community so they're the kind of people you want to bring into your community." Osterkamp says the wide open spaces and warm climate are conducive for dairies.
"Right now as you can see the cows enter, this is what they call a double 35 parallel so on one side 35 cows stay here being milked." Osterkamp dairy milks 28-hundred cows, three times every day. Each cow produces up to 72 pounds of milk per day. "Three tanks each is refrigerated, it chills the milk down to 36 degrees and a load is picked up every day."
As the milk leaves the dairies, the dollars are coming into the Muleshoe economy.
Janet says, "our population is up, we have new restaurants , our retail has increased, our school census has increased by 200 students and that's directly related to the dairy you can really see how viable dairies are."
There are ten dairies within a twelve mile radius of Muleshoe. As Janet mentioned the population growth is a direct result of the dairy industry. In fact, school enrollment has increased so much that voters passed a 25-million dollar bond package this past May. The district will add more classrooms to their elementary schools and junior high. It will also renovate part of the high school.

Orchestra auditions name concert soloists
The Linfield Chamber Orchestra held auditions for its upcoming orchestra series Oct. 8 in Ice Auditorium.
Winners of the Concerto Competition will perform with the LCO for its concert "Revel" on Dec. 3. The Concerto Competition takes place biannually in Ice.
Auditions lasted 15 minutes and each participant introduced and selected a piece compatible with an orchestra accompaniment. Singers were required to perform an aria or duet while instrumentalists prepared one or more concerto movements.
There were six participants. Junior Jeremy Moll won the voice competition and senior Ryan Dickman won over the judges with his saxophone playing.
Orchestra conductor Michael Gesme, who has headed the LCO for seven seasons, was one of three judges of the auditions.
"We showed up to Ice all dressed up, and we performed our pieces," Moll said. "We found out later that day who had won via e-mail."
Sophomore Jenaveve Linabary and senior Helen Kehoe were the other competitors for the vocal portion. Seniors Tracy Beaver and Audrey Rasmussen auditioned for the instrumental solo.
Moll will sing "Bella siccome un angelo" from Donizetti's Don Pasquale, and Dickman will play his saxophone in the concert with the LCO. Rehearsals with the LCO begin in November.
Besides holding auditions, the LCO is performing its first orchestra concert, "Celebration," at 8 p.m. Oct. 22 in Ice Auditorium.
This year the LCO celebrates its 20th season.
The orchestra allows talented musicians to enhance their musical skills and perform with famous musicians. At its first concert, the orchestra will perform a wide range of music including pieces by famous classical composers Franz Xavier Richter, Jean Sibelius and Antonin Dvorak.
Concertmaster Steven Shepherd and Assistant Concertmaster Casey Bozell will play a piece together composed by Katherine Hoover.
Freshman Lauren Pak is a member of the LCO.
"I play the violin. We've had two practices. It's a great experience to play among professional musicians," Pak said.
To find more information about the orchestra go to www.lcomusic.org/.

LAS VEGAS -- It seems like the last United States Senate race just ended, but the 2012 race has already begun. Senator Dean Heller has the seat now, but two Democrats are vying for the right to challenge him -- Congresswoman Shelley Berkley and Byron Georgiou.
Georgiou has millions of dollars to spend, expertise in the financial meltdown and his electric cars could play a role in the race. Georgiou says it's time to do something different in politics, and in business.
"At some point, we're going to be powered exclusively by electric, maybe by solar, maybe by nuclear," he said.
His Xtreme Green line of electric vehicles are assembled in North Las Vegas, with many parts made in the U.S. His Police Sentinels and ATV's go worldwide.
"We're one of the unique businesses in America that manufactures in America and exports to Mexico," he said.
But Georgiou is more than an upstart tech owner. He's a lawyer by trade and took on Enron and WorldCom, and won. His financial expertise also landed him on the Fiscal Crisis Inquiry Committee, appointed by Senator Harry Reid.
"I spent a year and a half investigating the root causes of the financial crisis. I know more about that issue than the two Congress members who are running against me put together," he said.
One of those opponents is Shelley Berkley, the popular Congresswoman already anointed by the Democratic establishment, and Reid, as the front runner. That caused a rift for Georgiou.
"He may be the Senate majority leader, but he's not infallible," he said.
Georgiou pointedly disagrees with the bank bailouts. He doesn't believe in handouts for failure. But success against the powerful is what made Georgiou a rich man. He has already poured half a million dollars into his war chest.
It's a similar move by recent political outsiders like WWE board member Linda McMahon in her race in Connecticut, California gubernatorial runner-up Meg Whitman and Las Vegas mayoral candidate Victor Chaltiel.
Georgiou says his ties to the community are stronger and personal money is better than kowtowing to special interests.
"Which I think is the cleanest, safest money to be investing in a campaign because it comes with no strings attached. Nobody will own me in the United States Senate," he said.
Georgiou recently hired Joe Trippi to aid the campaign. Trippi is the political hired gun who made a splash in 2004 with internet fundraising while running Howard Dean's campaign.

By TRAVIS MORSE firstname.lastname@example.com
The Register-News
---- — MT. VERNON — The NAACP of Jefferson County is hosting a special workshop on the Affordable Care Act at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 9 at the Corinthian Missionary Baptist Church, 1026 Newby Ave.
Organizers hope the event will help educate the public on the new health care law in terms of eligibility, how to enroll in the marketplace and other issues.
"The purpose of the meeting is to present solid information about the Affordable Care Act, the marketplace and the benefit of the insurance and how to apply," said Sandi Williams, health care chair for the NAACP of Jefferson County. "A lot of times they'll get information from someone else and word of mouth is not always the correct information."
Williams said the workshop will feature at least two presenters from the Southern Illinois Health Care Foundation out of Collinsville.
And while the session is intended to be informational, those in attendance will also have the chance to receive help enrolling in the marketplace.
To do so, however, you must bring monthly income information, social security numbers, dates of birth for all household members and email addresses if you have them.
It will likely take about an hour for each person to enroll, Williams said. The order of enrollment will be determined the night of the workshop, likely on a first come, first served basis.
Williams said the workshop is being held in response to questions posed by local residents.
"I've had a couple people ask me specifically do I have any information on (the Affordable Care Act)," Williams said. "And I don't have a lot of information so we reached out to the Southern Illinois Health Care Foundation so that they could provide a navigator to come to speak to our community about it."
Ron Lash, president of the NAACP of Jefferson County, said now is an ideal time to have a workshop of this sort.
"We thought we might want to do something, especially since it's getting close to the end of the enrollment period," Lash said. "And even more so now since they've had some problems with the website and in trying to get that up. So we thought this would be a good time and a good opportunity to get that information out."
Lash said the NAACP may schedule more workshops like this in the future, depending on the public's response to the initial meeting.
In addition, the local NAACP is planning to hold a Health Care Career Fair next spring in conjunction with the Good Samaritan Regional Health Center.
This event will offer information on health care careers, as well as providing blood pressure screenings and other activities.
The fair has been tentatively scheduled for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 8, 2014, at the Rolland W. Lewis Community Building at Veterans Park.
For more information on the Dec. 9 workshop, contact Lash at 241-9004.

May 9 - Nov 2 American Ballads: The Photographs of Marty Stuart Nashville, TN Although known primarily as a country music star, Marty Stuart has been taking photographs of the people and places surrounding him since he first went on tour with bluegrass performer Lester Flatt at age 13. His work ranges from intimate and often candid behind-the-scenes depictions of legendary musicians, to images that capture the eccentricities of characters from the back roads of America, to dignified portraits of members of the impoverished Lakota tribe in South Dakota. Whatever the subject, Stuart is able to sensitively tease out something unexpected or hidden beneath the surface through a skillful awareness of timing and composition. This exhibition—the first of its kind in a Nashville art museum in fifteen years—demonstrates that Marty Stuart is a master storyteller not only through his songs, but also through his revealing photographs.

Influenced by European Surrealists of the 1920s like Salvador Dalí and René Magritte, some American artists used the tools of illusionistic representation to subvert reality entirely, while others subtly tweaked the conventions of realism to turn the familiar into something unsettling and uncanny. The exhibition includes works by Andrew Wyeth, Edward Hopper, Grant Wood, Man Ray and Thomas Hart Benton, among others. Image Credit: George Tooker. "The Subway," 1950.

Golden Valley Grizzlies head football coach Robert Fisher was candid following his team's season-opening 34-28 victory over the Granada Hills Charter High School Highlanders at Canyon High School on Friday night.
A year ago, the Valencia Vikings boys tennis pairing of Cameron Braun and David Myers walked all over the Foothill League when they went undefeated in league play before capturing a first place trophy at the year-end Foothill League tournament.
In recent years, the Valencia Vikings boys tennis team enters the Foothill League season as the clear favorites to capture a title, and all but once in the past 10 seasons have they failed to live up to that billing.
Trinity Classical Academy Knights boys basketball continued their winning ways on Friday evening at East Rancho Dominguez Park, defeating the Hope Centre Lions 48-40 to advance to the third round of the CIF-Southern Section Division VI playoffs.

The Canyon Cowboys girls basketball team began the second half of the Foothill League season in the best possible way, running through an overmatched Golden Valley Grizzlies squad in a 78-28 blowout win on Friday night at Canyon.

Golden Valley girls basketball was determined to pick up its first Foothill League win on Friday night at West Ranch High School, and if it hadn't been for a spectacular outing by Wildcats junior guard Whitney Branham, it might have gotten it.

The interior of an East Hampton lakeshore home was damaged after a fire broke out Wednesday afternoon
The East Hampton police and fire departments responded to 13 O'Neill Lane around 4:18 p.m. after getting a report from a neighbor of smoke coming from the inside of the house on the property, according to a news release from police Sgt. Michael Green.
Town firefighters extinguished the blaze and successfully prevented the Lake Pocotopaug house from being a total loss, police said. The interior of the home took heavy smoke and fire damage, however no one was injured. There were no residents home at the time.
East Hampton police called in the Connecticut State Police and the Office of the State Fire Marshal to assist in the investigation. The exact cause of the fire hasn't been determined but the case remains under investigation by both local and state fire officials.
Green said arson does not appear to be a factor at this time. Police said more information will be provided as it becomes available.
According to online property records, the homeowners are listed as GRP Enterprises LLC and Richard A. Gaudio. The house was built in 2006.

Good Game... Good Win....
Happy Thanksgiving, Heat Nation...
3Peat.. Yes Sir... 007...
Yep E-Ball...knew it was a stunner to think about. But do think his game has improved ... but also believe the off-court demons are the bigger risk. You gotta admit - so far so good !
Oh geesh...E-Ball having really tough week with Kobe signing. Can't believe it either. Even worse than the John Wall mega signing. What is worse...? Joe Johnson, Rudy Gay...?
Amar'e...wow, there's a ton more. I could never believe Joe Johnson's deal...think that is all-time worst.
Morning RP - What little bit of the Heat game we trust beas with - coming off the bench and throwing up a bunch of shots, some which could be taken by Ray Allen or Rashard Lewis, he is doing OK. Could JJ do the same thing, most certainly. Is JJ's defense as pourous as beas', most certainly. It almost seems like you have a little bromance going on with one of the players at the end of our bench who's constant work ethic over the last 4 years got him released from a stout Suns team (who said basically, here's some money, just freakin' leave) and earned him a 1 year non-guaranteed minimal salary from a team that reigned in 2 second round draft picks for him a couple of years ago. Did he get marginally better, maybe. Is he worthy to represent this Heat team, hell no.
As for Kome signing - I'm all for that. Why would you think that would bother me? His 19th and 20th year making $24M+ a season, really? Yea, I can see a trove of mid-level free agents rushing to LA to be his blame boy when the Lakers suck the next two years. Who would want that job? Bust your ass in practice, constantly having to draw tougher defensive assignments, because the multiple-time first team defender can't guard anyone, and then in the press, he'll demean you and your game. Where do I sign up?
Wall - don't care, Johnson is a choke joke / Rudy Gay could possibly be a nice pickup for the right team, I think he can play, but Toronto? I think LBJ would struggle up there.
Game on tonight v Cavs. Another opportunity to evaluate our team. Have a great holiday! We have a lot to be thankful for.
and, uh, RP - you didn't touch on beas being the only player in that win over the Suns with a negative in the +/- category. What you got?
Beasly has great potential. The brother just joined up so you can't expect he's going to be solid within 4months of showing up.
He's got to gel with the rest of the team and it'll take a full season.
But as long as he's improving from month to month is all that matters.
I sea Beas being a capable replacement for Wade when he finishes his career this year. That knee ain't going to last...
"I sea Beas being a capable replacement for Wade when he finishes his career this year. That knee ain't going to last..."
If you don't mind WestCoastCane - I'm going to use that at my family's Thanksgiving table, just for the comedic value.
I'll probably warm them up with something easy like, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it, period", you know, just to get them laughing, and then use the beas as a capable replacement for Wade (notwithstanding they play different positions - and Wade can be an outstanding defender)as a closer. Sounds like a blast. Got any more brilliance I can add to my act?
I'm laughing loudly E-Ball ! That's what I'm bringing ! But...hopefully going forward some of those nerd numbers don't blind what we're seeing.
Memba the gravy...
Cheers !
You guys ain't seeing Beas tonight?
Who's laughing now?
I am!
How was Beasley's plus minus tonight.+11 was 2nd best on the team. R Lewis and Lebron was the worst on the team(+-0). When you win, it means absolutely nothing. The front line of Bosh, Beasley and Bron looked good. Might have to bring back the Killer Bees! 84 pts got it done.
This team is evolving into something special - so far. E-Ball is just upset UD is stuck to the pine right now & Beas is taking his PT (UD will have more moments) but I agree...plucking out random stats eventually become after-thoughts. W's only matter. Like I've been saying...both Lewis & Beasley plus the other role players have been the BIG new thing to help rest the 1st-teamers thus far.
If you've been watching enough B-ball, this kid Beasily is looking real good.
EXPLOSIVE to the rim. Has more quickness than Bron and Wade (no i didn't say he was better than Bron and Wade).
Once he has time to gel with the team, he's going to be replacing Wade when that knee gives out-- which it will this season.
He was a capable replacement for Wade the past couple games (even though he's the new guy learning the system).
We need to give Wade lots of rest with Beas and save Wade for the playoffs.
The only question mark about Beas is his head and staying out of trouble on South Beach.
If he can do that, there's big potential in this kid.
You'll forget he came out as the #2 pick behind Derrick Rose. He has top tier talent, but wasted it with his teenage antics with weed. But who of us hasn't spent one too many days hitting the blunt?
He's a big boy now and knows his valuable skills have been wasted getting high.
I see the leaders on the Heat molding this guy into something special.
i agree with West coast. Guys, with lebron being beas's role model, I am sure beas who was what 14 when lebron came in league in 03, his idol, and now can learn from a real team(09,10-heat team were rebuilding and a new coach and he was 19 years old), we have a stud.
If, IF, MBeas can stay healthy and in check, he can be lebrons sidekick in 2-3 years as the #2 guy as dwade gets a bit older. If anyone watched the game last night, he took over down the stretch and even lebron let beas have his fun. He looks like an allstar. But lets get him in the system 1 year, get playoff experience, and 2-3 years from now we have a steal
High risk, Great reward......With Beasley it's No risk, Great reward. He came in with a High risk and no reward. How Miami fortunes has changed.
Like I said...there's a distinct possibility Beasley "could" experience a more productive fulfilling career than DRose...which is quite ironic from how their draft day played out with Bulls somehow getting that 1st pick over the Heat who most likely would've picked Rose.
E-Ball just needs now to sign up for League Pass.
Good solid win....
The way we battle through adversity was on display.. Gotta keep the focus for 48 minutes... Sometimes it can be tough, but seeing signs of maturity as well as team focus, when games become close down the stretch...
We move forward....
Bobcats up next... Come to play...
Happy Holidays all... #HeatNation #WeTheBesss 007....

Who would've thought I would find a grownup Rice Krispies treat that is salty but sweet, fun, and can possibly be made into different shapes. Best of all… they take no time to make!

Page 10 - Bel vs. Escort vs. Valentine
Radar Roy receives countless e-mails and telephone calls every day asking "Which is the best radar detector made today, Escort, Beltronics or Valentine". In fact this same topic is hotly debated among radar detector users on RadarDetector.net, a radar detector users forum.
One point to consider, Escort and Beltronics are now owned and operated by the same company. The Escort 8500 X50 and the Beltronics RX65 are virtually the same radar detector with the following exceptions:
If you are trying to decide which detector is right for you Roy says "Think of the Escort 8500 X50 as a luxury car such as a Jaguar with all the bells, whistles and performance and the Beltronics RX65 as a muscle car like the Shelby"
In 2006, a new radar detector from Beltronics has been added to the mix, and that is the Bel STi Driver.
The Bel STi Driver is the first radar detector that has been designed from the ground up specifically for the professional driver.
The STi is the only radar detector made today that can defeat the Spectre II/III radar detector detectors, which are used by police where the use of a radar detector is illegal.
Radar detectors are only illegal in the USA in Virginia, Washington DC, on military bases, or in any commercial vehicle weighing over 10,000 pounds.
If you do not drive in areas where radar detectors are illegal the added feature of being Spectre immune should not be a deciding factor in your purchase.
The Valentine does have the advantage of having dual antennas, allowing its directional arrows identify the direction that the radar is coming from. However, Radar Roy and other reviewers have all agreed, that the filtering on the Valentine 1 is inferior. So much so that in the November 2004 issue of Autoweek magazine's review, they called the Valentine 1 the "Chicken Little of radar detectors".
Escort and Beltronics have a single antenna that is bi-directional. This allows you to receive radar from front and rear, at distances equal to or exceeding that of Valentine. Escort and Bel also have the best filtering on the market today.
One of the best independent reviews we have ever seen concerning the comparisons between the Escort, Bel and Valentine radar detectors was performed by Bob (The Veil Guy) and his wife Lisa. It is titled The Ultimate Real-World Radar Detector Review '05 and is posted on his website LaserVeil.com. Bob and Lisa examined the real-world performance of these top three radar detectors during a 2300 mile trip that covered five states, in which they encountered virtually every form of radar/laser speed enforcement currently in use today. This extensive report covers price, quality, display, alert, performance along with other important features.
In Bob's report, he ranked the Beltronics RX65 as the the top performer " Think of the Bel as a high-performance sports car that can act as daily driver . Vehicles such as a late model Corvette or Porsche 911 with SMG come to mind."

Why Get Advised?
Advising is a process to guide students with setting realistic academic goals and the objectives. Advisors encourage students to make course selections and access services to explore and identify academic and career interests. Students should meet with an advisor at least once a semester in preparation for the next semester. If you are uncertain about your current program or progress, want to transfer to a four-year institution or need to drop or withdraw from a course, a student should consult an advisor. Some students like to check in with their advisor just to share their current progress.
How to Get Advised
Most students are assigned to HCC's Office of Admissions and Advising for their advising services. Some students are assigned to specific faculty or staff advisors or to the Student Support Services Office. Students can find out who their advisor is by looking their "My Student Profile" in HCC Express. It is usually a good idea to call and make an appointment with your advisor. If you have a quick or urgent question, or your advisor is unavailable, Admissions and Advising provides a walk-in advising service; hours are posted on their website. You can always ask for a specific advisor when you visit.
Using HCC Express
HCC Express.net is online software that allows students to search and register for available HCC courses, view and adjust their class schedule, pay their bills, check their grades and course history, and view their financial aid and scholarship status. As a credit student, you can access registration and other features after your application for admission is approved.

Reed Smith's global managing partner leaves to become PNC general counsel
Posted Oct 4, 2013 9:02 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Reed Smith's global managing partner Gregory Jordan is leaving to become general counsel of PNC Financial Services Group, a key client of the law firm.
Replacing Jordan as global managing partner will be Alexander "Sandy" Thomas, the global chair of litigation at Reed Smith, according to a press release, the Legal Intelligencer (sub. req.), the Pittsburgh Business Times and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Jordan served for 13 years in the top job at Reed Smith, helping oversee an aggressive expansion that transformed the firm "from a regional shop to a global powerhouse," the Legal Intelligencer says.
Jordan said he was recruited by PNC's CEO, William Demchak, in a phone call in the last month. "I'm busy 24/7 running Reed Smith, so I didn't have a resume, I wasn't looking for a job," he told the Pittsburgh Business Times. "So, yeah, the call and the opportunity took me by surprise."
Jordan begins the new job on Oct. 15. He will be executive vice president, general counsel and head of regulatory and government affairs at PNC.

Pretty entertaining stuff from early enrollee Jacob Park on Georgia's dreaded mat drills:
On mat drills …
"I never really had that many coaches yelling at me at the same time. We had something similar in high school we had to go through, conditioning and things like that just to be on the team. But it was a little different. We didn't do it at 5 in the morning. So it's a little bit of a shock."
On possibly second-guessing decision to come early because of mat drills …
"Definitely. I didn't know anything about mat drills. Nobody told me 'tils I got here. Bryce told me I was going regret coming here early."
Just remember your Nietzsche, man.
UPDATE: On a related strength and conditioning note, Georgia's hired a new coach for the S&C staff. One interesting bit about the hire…
Gus Felder will "further develop the team's mixed martial arts program in additional to strength and conditioning duties" at #UGA.

Broward Commission Bans Synthetic Drugs
- Fines, jail or both face those found in violation of new ordinance -
October 25, 2012
Kimberly Maroe, Public Information Manager
Broward County Board of County Commissioners
The sales, display, offering or advertising of incense and so called bath salts that are really a synthetic form of marijuana or methamphetamine is now officially a crime in Broward County.
Broward Commissioners banned the sales of all synthetic cannabinoid herbal incense and contraband bath salts that mimic illegal drugs. Even though these products carry labels that say "unfit for human consumption" they are often ingested to produce a feeling of intoxication similar to the effects of controlled substances illegal under federal and Florida law.
"My youngest son, Todd, died in March. He was 30 years old. He was exposed to synthetic marijuana while undergoing treatment for addiction. Patients would go out to local stores and purchase the synthetic marijuana. When he got out of the program, he continued to use these products… I went to his apartment and found him dead on the floor," Maureen Barret told Commissioners. "Thank you for this ordinance. Please take this off the streets."
The American Association of Poison Control Centers has noticed a sharp increase in calls related to these products. Calls regarding exposure to bath salts rose from 304 calls in 2010 to 6,100 in 2011. Calls regarding synthetic marijuana products rose from 2,906 in 2010 to nearly 7,000 in 2011.
Synthetic cannabinoids have been developed over the last 30 years for scientific research purposes. Bath salts are chemically engineered psychoactive substances which have a stimulant effect on the central nervous system.
The newly amended Broward County ordinance banning these products is applicable countywide. Any person found in violation of the ordinance faces a fine not to exceed $500 or a jail term of up to 60 days or both.

Between food recalls and worries about Bisphenol A or additives like sodium and preservatives in canned, jarred and packaged foods, many parents rest easier knowing exactly what their babies are eating. The best way to know what goes into your baby food is to make it yourself, and it can also save you money. But between steaming, pureeing, straining and serving, prepping baby food can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. That's where baby food makers come in.
Generally, baby food makers fall into two categories: food processors and food mills. Baby food processors are all-in-one units that contain everything you need to turn raw food into a finished meal; they steam and puree in one device. Some even offer features such as bottle warming, food reheating and defrosting or pacifier sanitizing, and many allow you to serve straight from the cup used to prepare the food. You'll pay a premium for convenience, however; all-in-one baby food makers cost anywhere from $60 to $200.
Food mills are electric or manual devices that chop, blend or puree cooked foods. These usually function a lot like a blender or full-sized food processor, but are smaller and more portable, making them easier to use on a daily basis.
Because baby food mills are used to process foods that have already been prepared, they typically cost less than all-in-one baby food makers, about $20 to $60. This makes them especially popular for preparing food for toddlers and older babies who can eat the same foods as the rest of the family. Depending on the model, baby food mills may also be more practical for preparing large batches of food.
Baby food makers are designed to prepare just a serving or two, not a large batch for storage and consumption later. Some parents prefer to cook in large batches, while others like to cook just a meal or two at a time. Parents who want to make a lot of baby food in one sitting for storage may want to check out our reports on blenders and food processors.
Keeping in mind performance, ease of use and durability, ConsumerSearch.com editors analyze what the experts say about baby food makers, then evaluate hundreds of owner reviews. The result is our picks for the best baby food makers and baby food mills.

It grew bigger the rest of the way.
After widening that lead to 20 points at the end of the third quarter (56-36), the Lady Wildcats forced the Lady Tigers to limp to a 31-point defeat, with a final score of 73-42.
The Lady Wildcats' coach, Sandy Wright, wasn't expecting it to be so one-sided.
"We were scared going in. That's why I was kind of surprised when we were up 7-0 early," said Wright.
The first half was dominated by fouls, and Willard sophomore Mariah Stewart was busy at the free throw line, going 8 of 8.
"We kept putting them on the free throw line early. They were 17 for 18 at the free throw line in the first half, so at halftime we discussed that we've got to quit fouling them," said Wright.
The Lady Wildcats pulled ahead in the second half, due in part to the leadership of the coach's daughter, senior guard Caylee Wright, who led her team with 14 points.
Har-Ber outscored Willard 35-16 in the second half.
"We've talked a lot about her [Caylee Wright] stepping up in leadership. I was pleased with that. our post men had a really good game, and we had some off the bench that had a good game," said Wright.
On Saturday, the final day of the Willard Four-State Class, the Lady Wildcats will play the Ft. Scott Tigers at 1:00. Willard will face the Broken Arrow Lady Tigers at 2:30.
Har-Ber 17 21 18 17 73
Willard 12 14 10 6 42
Har-Ber: Caylee Wright 14, Haley McCarver 12, Bailey Schalk 11, Ashley Gray 8, Tayleah Neal 8, Samantha Weber 6, Paige Redmond 5, Carlye Bohannon 5, Morgan Stephens 4
Willard: Amber Percival 15, Mariah Stewart 10, Chelsea Yates 6, Ali Perry 3, Shelby Barrett 2, Makenzie Parker 2, Sam Whitman 2, Rachel Williamson 2

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament has started considering the Comptroller and Auditor General's (CAG) report on the coal scam here on Friday.
CAG Vinod Rai defended his report strongly before the panel, even as the Congress members tried to question its content and direction. The Coal Ministry, represented by senior officials, also attacked the CAG's report.
Sources in the panel said the CAG said the auditor would not have done his duty if the windfall gains to private companies were not mentioned in the report. He said three prices of coals were available before the panel and it went by Coal India's price for coal from opencast mines.
The CAG said it had three exit conferences with the Coal Ministry and there was no basis to say that the Ministry's views were not considered.
Rai told the panel that it was former Coal Secretary P.C. Parakh who said the process of coal block allocation was not transparent and the Government should go for open bidding of the coal blocks.
He said it was the policy of the Government and no one had contradicted it till date, and added that if that was not the view of the Government, the Secretary's views should have been contested in the file concerned.
Justifying its decision to focus in the period after 2004, the CAG said while 175 blocks were allotted after 2004, just 41 blocks were allotted between 1993 and 2004.
The Coal Ministry officials pegged their defence in the statement by the Prime Minister in both Houses of Parliament.
The Congress members argued that the value of rupee started depreciating after the CAG's report on the coal scam.
In reply to this, the CAG said the auditor was doing its duty by reflecting the financial gains to private players. He added that the auditor did not make any comment on policy, but was reproducing the arguments by the former Coal Secretary and the Law Ministry.

Rarely is there a public policy that's discussed for more than three decades in the halls of Florida's Capitol, but the debate over allowing optometrists to prescribe oral medications has been a longtime in the making. To the benefit of Florida's patients, this session, all impacted parties came together and reached an agreement that increases access to quality primary eye care for all Floridians.
The law, which becomes effective July 1 of this year, aligns Florida with 47 other states in the nation by allowing optometrists to prescribe approved oral medications for the treatment of eye diseases and conditions. Additionally, this law reflects a myriad of provisions that provide for a clear, straightforward framework to ensure patient safety is never compromised.
On behalf of the Florida Optometric Association and all of the patients we care for, we thank Senate President Don Gaetz and House Speaker Will Weatherford – without their steadfast support of this issue, countless Floridians wouldn't be able to receive the proper eye care they need and deserve.
Florida's optometrists will continue to be dedicated to providing quality primary eye care to our communities, and we are grateful for this important opportunity.
Ken Lawson, Florida Optometric Association, Bradenton

:Pseudocatalase Therapy for Vitiligo
Catalase is an enzyme that is deficient in areas of skin with vitiligo. Pseudocatalase cream is an externally applied product that functions like catalase in that it is used to inhibit the progression of pigment loss in vitiligo. Pseudocatalase works by removing peroxides from vitiligo affected skin. Peroxides can destroy melanocytes (pigment cells). It contains calcium chloride, manganese chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and distilled water in a special cream base. It works best when combined with Narrow band Ultraviolet B (NBUVB) light therapy. This medication is not commercially available and is compounded by a specialty pharmacy to my order.
How to use Pseudocatalase:
Apply twice a day to entire affected skin
Only a small amount is needed to cover the area; increasing the frequency and/or amount will not necessarily bring about better results.
Allow the Pseudocatalase cream to vanish into the skin and be completely dry before applying any other topical agents.
Expose the affected skin to NBUVB light treatments or sun exposure as directed by your physician
Patients may begin to see control of pigment loss in 2-4 months. There is no right or wrong duration of treatment. However, if there is no response after 3 months, the therapy should be stopped and other options evaluated. Treatment may be stopped if full repigmentation occurs.
Side Effects:
No known systemic side effects to date.
The compounded cream is extremely sensitive and has a short active life. It will rapidly deteriorate if exposed to light and/or air, by leaving the cap off.
To avoid this, do not open the pump or the jar.
This product is a white cream and is stable for about 4-6 weeks or until the cream turns pinkish-brown.
Watch for discoloration (pinkish-brown color) of product. Discard any discolored product.

Ugh. This article on ESPN could likely mean trouble for BSU and the access the current system, however flawed, has provided us. If the BCS drops all but the National Championship Game, what does AQ status even mean? There will be no "status" other than perceived...and I don't think BSU's accomplishments garner as much national respect as we'd like to think, or that they deserve.
The question is, does the Big East make any sense at all if this were to happen?

[Books] An amazing look at Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" series
Isaac Asimov is the science fiction author that really turned me into a nerd. Sure, I read some Heinlein and Bradbury before I got my hands on Pebble In the Sky [Amazon.com], but it was reading Isaac Asimov's brand of science fiction that really set in motion the transformation of me from Jason, shy elementary school kid to Jason, budding giant geek.
The Foundation series of stories/books was always among my favorites. The robot novels (Caves of Steel, Robots of Dawn, etc) were also favorites but Foundation tackled big themes spanning centuries. Recently the blog io9 did an absolutely fantastic 7 part series on the books that make up the Foundation series - stories that started as smaller stories or novellas from science-fiction magazines to large novels by the end. If you're a fan of Asimov at all, or just want a great look at not only a fantastic series but one that spanned the author's entire lifetime, style and skill of writing, this series of posts is well worth the read. The collection of different covers for the books that accompanies the posts is pretty cool too. If you don't have time to read them all, I recommend the ones in bold for a good overview of the whole 7.
- Foundation [io9]
- Foundation and Empire [io9]
- Second Foundation [io9] [And no, the author that brings it up is NOT the only one that crushed on Arkady as portrayed on the cover of the Del Rey 1989 edition]
- Foundation's Edge [io9]
- Foundation and Earth [io9]
- Prelude to Foundation [io9]
- Forward the Foundation [io9]
My praise and critique largely match the authors of these posts. In a larger sense, Asimov's fiction (and non-fiction and auto-biographies) really had an impact on who I am today not only because I'm a science fiction geek, but in my interest in facts and science, my critical view towards religion and in some aspects of my liberal views on things. I suppose it could be said that I'd be a drastically different person today if I'd really fallen in love with Heinlein and his messages moreso than Asimov's.
For more insight into Asimov the man [and some great stories behind his writing] I highly recommend his three autobiographical books:
- In Memory Yet Green ('79)
- In Joy Still Felt ('80)
- I, Asimov ('94)
I, Asimov is probably the one to tackle first, as it's not as rigidly chronological as the other two and he allows himself to go more offtrack on stories.
Finally, a thanks to my dad who introduced me to a world of robots that aren't killers, a future that can be seen through math and a world where puns, wordplay and small clever twists can make for a great story.
Link Dump
so once again I've been gathering tabbed links in my browser with the idea of posting about them but it hasn't happened. So that means another Link Dump! You are excited, I can tell.
- Apparently crime really isn't as bad as people perceive it. Maybe people will calm the fuck down about all this panic over a "crime asploshun!!" in Indianapolis that really isn't. Although I doubt it. Because even though The Star carried this story, it won't stop them from sensationalizing crime themselves and contributing to the problem.
- I think I got about 100 IQ points dumber reading about the Scientific Proof For The Existence Of God!!!111eleventomgbbq!!. Really, if you have any sort of logical reasoning skills at all it's easy to decimate this thing into a million pieces. but I value my sanity FAR too much to actually read it again and do that in blog form. The best part is probably the uranium part. jeebus.
- A great find, CJ notes the appearance of Indianapolis in a new Marvel comic! Too bad they based the art on an old picture of the circle with the now non-existent Market Square Arena visible. Oops.
- God I hate the Pacers anymore. And not just because of horrible management decisions and blundered personnel. No, also because they still refuse to have any redheads on the dance team. Heathens!
- Schadenfreude, thy name is Ted Stevens Getting Raided By The FBI. I really hope they showed up in a BIG TRUCK! In honor of this amazing news, I went back and found the Ted Stevens internet speech techno remix.
- Nerds + Showbiz Pizza + The Rockafire Explosion + New Ms. Booty = AWESOME.
- This REALLLLY deserves its own post but damn if I have the time right now. So Thanks Mitch! Because you caved to the property tax whiners (of whom so many are people who have been paying far under what they should have been for years - I'm looking at you Meridian Kessler District) and put off the new tax evaluations Marion County is going to have a $52 million shortfall. Don't worry, Indianapolis is only the economic engine for the state you pretend to represent completely (but in the end you just end up representing road construction companies and people who believe your fake accent). A big ol' hearty middle finger to Mitchie Rich The Amazing Midget Governor.
- I've been posting more on CWAMB lately. I have a big post eventually planned for a what-if solution for the NBA: a 50-60 team league with three divisions and European-style relegation. Keep an eye out for it.
- Couldn't agree more with this at Tapped. The way our politics work, the short sighted politician who only spends money in time of disaster instead of spending money when there is no disaster gets rewarded. The latter just gets yelled at for spending tax money and *gasp* maybe raising taxes. Heavens to Betsy, noooo!
- This is horrifying. Dear Oklahoma, I enjoyed my time there for a national high school student council convention in 1995, but you are now dead to me.
- Mega-Kudos to FCC Commissioner Michael Copps. You couldn't be more right about the absolutely TERRIBLE broadband policy in this country. Making the link between this and the rampant media consolidation in the US is very nicely done.
I think that's it? I hope?
DailyLit is awesome. I just subscribed to "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" by Edwin Abbott. (via Wil Wheaton)
RIP Kurt Vonnegut
Indianapolis born novelist Kurt Vonnegut Jr. passed away. RIP. Player Piano is still one of my all time favorite novels.
Michael Crichton, I Used To Respect Thee
I used to like Michael Crichton. He was one of the authors my dad used to get me into reading. I loved (and still love) The Andromeda Strain and Sphere. Jurassic Park was great fun (and a fun movie). Congo was a fun read although weaker. But at some point he started going off the deep end, specifically as a Global Warming denier - to the point he wrote an entire book where the plot was that Global Warming was just a hoax engineered by environmentalists to get money. Yeahhhhhh Michael. Whaaaaaatever.
Well, now he's officially Dead To Me. When an author retaliates against a scholar who has criticized him by making him a character who is a child rapist in his latest book, that's off the deep end.
Too bad, I used to really respect his writing in a popcorn sci-fi/adventure sort of way.
Political Link Dump
Alright, work has been crazy this week so time for another link dump. This time it's political. Enjoy! ANd remember - Drinking Liberally: Indianapolis is tonight. be there or be a rhombus. 7pm-whenever at Spencer's Stadium Tavern (802 S. West St.)
Reason #3,4112 why the DC Consultant Class is bad for the Democratic Party
Help save 1-800-SUICIDE. It's a suicide prevention line that gets federal funding. Now the feds want to take away its funding and start its own program. I don't know about you, but I want kids to be able to to call a suicid help line without it being an arm of the federal government. This is an important issue for me.
I can't wait to go to a 'museum' that shows how humans and dinosaurs co-existed!! Wait... you mean it's supposed to be 'true' and 'science' according to a religious wacko? Oh. Um. Never mind.
"Visitors will leave knowing how to use the Bible to build their thinking in all areas."
And not knowing the first thing about science. Hooray for promoting ignorance of science in lieu of fairy tales and bogus charlatans! :\
Some dude wrote a book that supposedly proclaims George W. Bush as the Messiah. OyyyyyoyoyoyoY!
This really does deserve its own post, but I just don't have the time.
Diebold's voting machines are even less secure than previously suspected. Inspection of a Diebold machine by the open Voting Foundation revealed that all it takes to get a Diebold machine to boot a modified, crooked operating system is the flip of a switch, a task that can be accomplished in a brief moment using nothing but a screwdriver.
That, combined with how much Diebold was used in Ohio and teh questionable election results there in 2004..... I'm trying not to sound like someone on Coast To Coast AM, but let's just say I'm won't be comfortable with this upcoming election until it's over.
Electronic voting needs a verifiable paper trail and needs to run on open source code that is available to all and verifiable by all. This idea of proprietary voting software scares the bejeezus out of me.
This legislation that would legalize military tribunals sounds a tad broad - could it allow for secret tribunals of reporters for publishing something the Federal Government doesn't like? Republicans - is this this sort of small government you keep telling me about?
A new economics blog is going in my RSS Reader. Hosted at Tapped (The American Prospect's blog), Beat The Press is written by Dean Baker. Baker is the author of a book that I'm going to have to pick up very soon: The Conservative Nanny State: How the Wealthy Use the Government to Stay Rich and Get Richer. Sounds fascinating.
The Pennsylvania Green Party is running a candidate in the Senate race there. Okay, so on the surface that's no big deal. They have that right. But here' sthe kicker - nearly all of the $66,000 donated to the campaign came from Republicans. Please, Greens, tell me about integrity again. Oh how I miss those fanciful stories.
This would be funny if it didn't feel so close to the truth sometimes:
WASHINGTON, DC—In a decisive 1–0 decision Monday, President Bush voted to grant the president the constitutional power to grant himself additional powers.
"As president, I strongly believe that my first duty as president is to support and serve the president," Bush said during a televised address from the East Room of the White House shortly after signing his executive order. "I promise the American people that I will not abuse this new power, unless it becomes necessary to grant myself the power to do so at a later time."
Alas that is all for today. I promise i'll have my entry up about Pitchfork sometime. It's been one of those weeks.
Can't Hardly Stand It
There's an interesting post over at the Freakonomics Blog about someone running an experiment to see if paying people a nominal amoutn of money will encourage more people to spay or neuter their pets. Not a bad idea. But what disturbs me is the mention of a similar program for...get this... crack addicts. That's right - paying crack addicts to get sterilized. Something about that really disturbs me.
Atrios asks a damn good question - why isn't the right all up in arms and frothing over Pakistan? Why isn't our government taking a tougher stance against them?
We're generally led to believe that Bin Laden is hanging out there along with some of his pals. It's a dictatorship with an unclear line of succession if that dictator ever accidentally gets in the way of an assassin's bullet. They have an active nuclear program. Their top nuclear scientist was handing out nuclear technology like candy on Halloween. The country promptly pardoned him for this and we didn't say a thing. Oh, and for the Malkins of the world THEY'RE ALL BIG SCARY MUSLIMS.
All hail those brave National Review Bloggers, fighting a war that is as "equally consequential" as the ones our troops are fighting (and dieing) for in Iraq. We should organize a parade for the writers of The Corner. We can have a Jonah Goldberg float! And ribbons and rose petals for those brave, brave warriors.
Glenn Greenwald, once again showing why he's currently the best Left Blogofascistan has to offer. Iraq is a disaster:
So, to recap as dispassionately as possible -- Iraq is falling apart. There is apparently serious talk of dividing Baghdad, or even the country as a whole, along sectarian lines. Sectarian tension is at an all-time high, with continuous reprisal mass murders, and the government appears incapable of enforcing the law or maintaining even basic security, and worse, relies upon the good will of powerful, well-armed lawless militias and death squads just to maintain the level of chaos currently engulfing the country.
Meanwhile, for the very first serious crisis which arises in the Middle East, the Iraqi Government is on the opposite side of the U.S., condemning Israel's actions with increasing fervor. All the while, the government does not hide its intent to maintain strong alliances with Iran, the country we are told is now the worst threat to American interests and world peace. And all of this is occurring while we have 140,000 troops occupying the country and the Iraqi government is dependent upon them. Imagine what will happen in terms of Iraq's allegiances if we ever actually leave that country and that dependence no longer exists.
Is it safe to say "we're fucked"?
Mao's Cultural Revolution and the right's talking points have some eerie similarities when it comes to the problem of the universities. Leave it to General J.C. Christian to show us the way!
And some decidedly non-political fare.....
Eat a Philly Cheesesteak this week. RIP Harry Olivieri.
I love the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest:
"I know what you're thinking, punk," hissed Wordy Harry to his new editor, "you're thinking, 'Did he use six superfluous adjectives or only five?' - and to tell the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement; but being as this is English, the most powerful language in the world, whose subtle nuances will blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' - well do you, punk?"

A Max Barry show on Sci-Fi?!!
Max Barry, author of a few of my favorite recent books (like Company and Jennifer Government) is apparently working on a proposal for a show on the Sci-Fi network!
Given how I love his writing style his "view" on things in his novels, it's boudn to be cool. Especially since his quick one sentance description goes something like this:
I mean, it's got mentally deranged artificial intelligences and chicks with weird names and everything.
And he hopes the network asks him:
did I want the characters to have really big guns, or ridiculously big guns?
It sounds great already. And personally, I'd go with rediculously big guns.

Ford, Campbell, Clemens, and Williams. All were Players-of-the-Year in their respective sports. Four years after retiring its first ever basketball jersey number, The University of Texas will find itself in a position next season to retire another.
Like football, men's basketball has numerous organizations at season's end awarding player-of-the-year trophies. In 2007, Kevin Durant made it a clean sweep, picking up the hardware from each of the six major associations. Durant became the first freshman to ever accomplish the accolade feat, but surprised few in Austin (or Suitland, MD) in doing so. After all, No. 35 set so many new standards that he somehow made the incredible appear to be nothing more than merely routine.
Just as Durant elevated Texas' name, it is likely Texas will return in kind...ascending up in to the rafters.
Durant's individual success on the 40 acres began less than a year after another Longhorn departed campus, following a career that captured the hearts of fans and lifted the football program to the pinnacle of the sport. The question now is who will have their number retired first? And can the University even consider withholding the honor altogether from one or both of the athletes?
Vince Young won the Maxwell but (for now) fell short of the Heisman. Of those honored, only Roger Clemens enjoyed POY honors coupled with a National Championship. When it comes to honoring individuals, the University's track record so far reflects a focus on individual accomplishments. Ricky stayed all four years and ran past Dorsett, but as an upperclassman his Horns fell shy of winning the Southern Division, let alone Big Twelve Conference or National Championship. T.J. in his two years at least led his team to a groundbreaking Final Four appearance, only to lose to the eventual champions.
Durant's success is hard to truly define. He dominated the stat columns, appeared to dominate the opposing five, and yet never quite dominated the game, unable to lift up his fellow (young) teammates and will them to victory. Is that enough? Is that more than enough? Again, the Texas standard appears to be guided by the national recognition as player of the year. We're inclined to believe No. 35 is a lock to sway high above the Erwin Center court.
Meanwhile, the argument for Young's #10 is that the Maxwell is a POY award (one which Williams paired with his Heisman in '98). In fact, Tommy Nobis joins the two as the only other Longhorn to win the award, and his #60 is often left unworn.
Young's #10 may similarly go unofficially off the market but perhaps his ability to take over a field of twenty-one other men and lead Texas to it's first BCS bowl and title will strengthen his case.
Momentarily ignoring the free pass seemingly acquired via receiving POY honors and debating which trophies count, does will future "dominance" in the NBA or NFL affect a latter decision to retire the numbers?

Everywhere you look, there is an old person standing next to you.
They drive too slow and they dont even try to look before backing out of a parking space. They just back out until somebody honks their horn or until they hit something. If they arent driving a car, theyre driving one of those little scooters. They drive those things faster than they do a car. They even run over you in a store while zipping up and down the aisles.
There should be a curfew for them. No seniors allowed out after 12 noon.
Move over and let us young people through. We have places to go and important things to do.
