But, as director Jeffrey Blitz shows in his engaging documentary, those that do win face major changes in their lives, and not always for the good. Blitz follows several individuals and families who've become instant multimillionaires by winning Megaball. Some put the money to good use, others squander it. Along with their individual stories, Blitz presents a compact and fascinating history of lottery playing in the US, and shows how it has been used to raise funds for various government agencies and projects.

Someone in Jesse Jackson Jr.'s old district isn't mincing words about the former congressman.
Days after Jackson and his wife Sandi pleaded guilty in federal court, someone sprayed the word "crooks" on their old office on the South Side.
The graffiti was noticed over the weekend, but it's already faded.
No one has admitted to the crime and no one has been charged.

August 25, 2014
Check here to see what's happening at the Monroe Church of the Nazarene.
When is the main worship service?
Our main worship service is Sunday at 10:30 AM.
Do I have to stand up in front of people?
Will I be asked to give out any personal information?
We encourage our guests to fill out a welcome card at the welcome table. This is not required but simply helps us track the interest levels of people who visit.
Do you want my money?
We are not after your money. In fact when the offering baskets are passed we sometimes actually tell our guests NOT to give. The best gift any guest can give us is their presence in the service.
Do I have to dress up?
No. Our regular attenders dress in a variety of ways. You will feel comfortable attending in casual attire or in a suit. The choice is up to the individual.
Do I have to turn my kids over to a stranger?
No. Your children are welcomed to stay with you. We do, however, have an excellent children's program. We have implemented a "Safe Child" policy. This policy requires TWO adult workers in each room. Our workers also have undergone a rigorous screening process to be able to work with children. We also have a new pager system which allows us to discreetly contact you during the service if your infant child needs your attention.
What can I expect when I walk in the door?
When you arrive at the Monroe Church of the Nazarene you'll be greeted by friendly faces at the front door. Our welcome crew will make sure you are made to feel at home. Head on over to the coffee center where you are faced with maybe the toughest decision of the day: "will I try the toasted coconut coffee or the chocolate cherry?" As the praise band begins to play you'll soon realize worship is more than an event or experience. It is a connection. Events happen. Experiences come and go. But connections last forever. In our efforts to connect with God we highlight the importance of connecting with each other. This effort recognizes that what we wear to church is not nearly as important as why we are attending. Our worship services last around 75 minutes.
We look forward to meeting you. When you arrive there will be a seat saved for you and your family!

Established in 1991, AVG is one of the oldest computer protection companies in the world.
MyFax is a service provided by Protus, a company founded in 1997 that provides a
range of software-based services such as virtual office services and email marketing
Review TurboTax offers more packages than most of their competitors, with the added advantage of enabling users to purchase the software on CD if they so desire.
Part of the People Media network, a subsidiary of top online
dating site Match.com, OurTime is an online dating website geared
toward singles over the age of 50 who are looking for all types of
relationships, including marriage, travel companionship or even pen
pals. The website launched in 2011 after the company extensively
researched the preferences of older people looking for
companionship online. Since its launch, OurTime has grown
exponentially and has become one of the top online dating sites
catering to a more mature population.
Unlike some of the more mainstream dating sites, OurTime offers a solitary premium plan which
allows singles to take advantage of all of the features offered.
The service also offers a free plan which provides limited services
but enables users to get a good feel for the service. For an
additional fee OurTime users can also opt to have their profile
highlighted in the search results, a feature that is designed to
help bring users to the forefront of relevant searches. This is
only available as an upgrade for premium members, though it only
cost a dollar more per month, and will make your profile even more
visible. Here's the price breakdown for the premium membership:
And here are the free and premium features for OurTime:
OurTime is unquestionably one of the most intuitive online
dating services we've tested, as the system provides a wealth of
helpful information including who's flirted with you, who's
"favorited" you and who's viewed your profile. OurTime's
straightforward approach provides a distinct advantage for singles
who don't want to have to guess how people feel about them.
OurTime offers singles the combination of a
searchable database as well as daily search suggestions, which are
aimed at bringing relevant partners to the users' attention so that
they can start getting to know their potential matches as soon as
Singles using the search feature offered by OurTime can choose a
basic search that allows them to choose profiles with specific
elements, such as videos or photos - which means you can easily
weed out profiles without pictures. The advanced search feature
affords singles the opportunity to narrow down their options by
selecting suitors with specific physical characteristics,
astrological signs, religious beliefs or relationship expectations.
Singles can also search with specific keywords or by distance, a
feature that can be especially useful for anyone who isn't
interested in a long-distance relationship.
In addition to excellent search functions, OurTime has an
excellent storage feature through which singles can easily keep
track of people they like, photos they like, and profiles they've
viewed. Finally, it's worth noting that OurTime allows users to see
who else is online when they are, which can be especially useful
for anyone who wants to start chatting immediately.
Signing up for OurTime is a painless procedure, allowing singles
to get started without completing their entire profiles. Background
questions include standard inquiries such as how many children the
user has, his or her location and physical appearance, among other
general characteristics.
There are two main ways to find answers to questions about
OurTime. The fastest way is to search the company's FAQ section, or
to use the search button in the help section if you have a specific
question. We tested the search feature and found that it did
provide helpful and relevant responses to our queries for basic
searches and worked quickly every single time.
Singles who can't find answers in the FAQ section can contact
the company via an on-site form submission. Before submitting the
question users will be directed to potential answers to their
questions which seem to be based upon trigger words from the email.
Members who don't locate their answers in this form may of course
still opt to submit the question for a personalized answer from the
customer service team.
OurTime is a solid niche online dating website that attracts
precisely the users it seeks, though it also features many profiles
of users outside of its target audience. Though the site lacks many
of the bells and whistles offered by other dating sites, it does
provide a straightforward user experience and excellent search
features to help maximize a user's odds of success. The website
also provides more ways to interact with matches than a typical
dating site, meaning that there is always fun to be had with this
unique online site.

San Antonio celebrates Pope Francis' installation mass
Archbishop Gustavo Siller celebrates 10-year anniversary
SAN ANTONIO - Newly elected Pope Francis offered a homily Tuesday during his installation mass in Rome.
Close to 200,000 people crammed into Saint Peter's Square to see it.
The pontiff rode in an open-air vehicle, stopping several times to reach out to pilgrims.
At one point, he even climbed out of his jeep and blessed a severely disabled man.
The new pontiff's first day as leader of the Catholic church worldwide was also marked here in San Antonio with a special mass held in Spanish.
Pope Francis is the first pope ever elected from Latin America.
Archbishop Gustavo Siller, the celebrant in a rare mass on the feast day of Saint Joseph, was also celebrating his 10-year anniversary as a bishop.
"I received a call that (then-Pope) John Paul II had appointed me bishop in Chicago," Siller said. "That was in January. The date the cardinal gave me was March 19."
Ten years later, he still celebrates this day -- now suddenly made even more important.
"Even the church chosen for this monumental day in Catholicism is special," Siller said. "Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel is very small. And our pope's new motto: 'simple, but chosen.'"
The pope's homily at his installation called on Catholics to find a way to take care of the weak, poor and needy of the world.
"We needed a sign of hope, not necessarily from the Holy Father, but in this case, it's very fitting that the Holy Father is Latino," Siller said.
After the mass at the Mexican American Catholic College, the congregation was invited to a lunch to celebrate, complete with an anniversary cake.

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. - Schenectady Police are investigating what they call an 'unattended death' on Eastern Avenue in the city.
Police and emergency crews responded to 847 Eastern Avenue in Schenectady Thursday around 6 p.m. for the report of an unresponsive woman. Inside the home, police say they found a woman dead in an upstairs apartment.
The woman's identity has not been released.
An autopsy conducted Friday is inconclusive, officals say, noting there were no obvious signs of foul play on the woman's body. Officials are now waiting for toxicology results.
Neighbors say two young children were taken from the home by police after the woman was found, saying they believe she lived there alone with the children. Police have not confirmed if the children were with the body for an extended period of time or how long the body was there for.
Police confirm that Michael Briggs, a parolee taken in for questioning on Monday in the homicide of former nun, Mary Greco, also lived in this home. Briggs was arrested on parole violations not relating to Greco's death.
Police do not believe the two deaths are connected.
Neighbors say they didn't know the woman well, and that she had only lived there for about five months.
"The last time I saw her was a week ago and she was bringing the baby carrier inside," said neighbor Teresa Miller.
"I usually see her with her kids. She was quiet and kept to herself a lot," said neighbor Yashika Delaney.
Neighbors say they heard children crying constantly for the last few days, but didn't think much of it. "I could hear kids screaming, but it's not abnormal to hear kids crying. I just thought the kids were upset and crying," said Miller.
"She's just very quiet and in and out with her kids. It is a big shock to know this is happening," said Miller.
NEWS10 is told the children are in the custody of Child Protective Services.

Grinding venison at home, will save you a lot of money, even if you have to invest in a grinder.
It costs a ridiculous amount of money to get a deer processed, and unfortunately, you may not always bring home as much venison from a processing plant, as you do when grinding your own.
I worked for about 10 years with deer processors, and due to mass production, there was little care in making sure they were getting all of the meat off.
We skin our deer clear up to the head, as the neck has a lot of meat on it.
We even cut the meat that is between the ribs, as a little care in getting it all off of the bone, will add 2 to 10 pounds to your grind, depending upon the size of the deer.
We use an electric grinder, but if you do not plan on grinding a lot of venison, a manually operated (hand crank) deer meat grinder, may work just fine for your household.
We cut the venison into 2 to 3 inch cubes, and cut out the large pieces of fat, gristle, and sinew.
A 6mm plate will help with what little gristle and sinew is missed during the de-boning process.
If using a 4.5mm grinding plate, we recommend cutting every bit of gristle, tendons, and sinew out, as it will clog your plate, and turn the whole process into a time consuming mess.
It doesn't matter what style or brand of grinder we used, it was the plate size that caused the difficulty, and by switching to the 6mm, we have great results.
When making ground venison, we run the meat through the grinder twice, and are extremely pleased with the results.
Grinding it twice is optional, but the final product is much smoother and visually pleasing, if ground a second time!
The taste stays the same, regardless.
We find that a scale for weighing the amounts is extremely handy, especially if you are going to be mixing other types of meat into it,
for flavorful hamburger patties,
or sausage.

Richmond, VA—The warmth of the Sunday sun shone on the shoulders of heroes at a service honoring veterans at the Virginia War Memorial.
George Bland is among the proudest of veterans: the 89-year-old served six years in the Navy. He was serving during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
"We are recognizing a lot of veterans that have passed as well as those that are living, and I'm so glad to be a part of it," said Bland.
Bland speaks of his gratitude on being alive to recount the harrowing attack over seventy years ago, saying that "the Lord blessed me" during the war.
The blend of young and old veterans was a remind that service reaches across all generations, and connects us all.
General Robert Blackman, retired from the Marine Corps, reiterated the sacrifice of Virginia's veterans:
"The nation owes a great debt to its veterans whose service to the nation spans every decade, every year, every day of our country's existence. I'm no hero, the heroes are the men that lost their lives and died in battle or missing in action." Gen. Blackman continued, "Through untold courage and sacrifice, America's veterans have secured the liberty which the founding fathers sought to establish here in the new world."
When asked how an ordinary citizen can honor veterans on not only this special day but any day, Navy veteran Bruce Dowd gave a simple heartfelt answer:
"Come to the War Memorial and show your support for the military and the people that were in it. Always remember, always remember…never forget."

It's the 4th of July tomorrow – will you be checking work email amid the fireworks and family barbecues? Chances are good that you will be.
According to a survey by Good Technology, 80% of respondents say they keep working after typical work hours end. This means checking email during family outings (57%), at the dinner table (38%), and before bed (69%). Half of respondents even said they check email when they wake up, before they get out of bed. All of this extra time – to take a phrase from soccer – totals up to nearly 30 hours per month, according to Good Technology. That's essentially an extra day of work per week for those of you that aren't good at the math.

Dana White confirmed through USA Today that he will produce a boxing reality show on Discovery Channel entitled The Fighters, an eight part series. Depending on how The Fighters raters go, does this give wind to having White and Zuffa start its own boxing promotion?
"What I wanted to do was take a look inside boxing at these characters," White said. "We basically used boxing as a model of what not to do when we built UFC," White says. "Whatever boxing did, we did the opposite."
White will act as producer along side with Craig Piligian, a longtime TV producer who has created such reality hits on Discovery as American Chopper and Dirty Jobs.
"With The Fighters we really wanted to get back to the roots of boxing in Southie, where the sport is so integral to the culture," said Piligian. "These fighters put everything on the line, and I believe this show will breathe new life into boxing."
Will there be more dealings with the Discovery Channel?

"My mistake was taking the Machida fight too serious, you know." "I'd been out too long, nearly eight months, and I'd put too much pressure on myself.-- Thierry Sokoudjou's plan heading into his fight with Kazuhiro Nakamura at UFC 84. To depressurize.
"I know Nakamura will come out bullrushing me, so I'll keep my hands on his face and punch the crap out of him." "I've seen a few of his tapes, he's a tough guy. Always goes forward, and never stops. It'll be an interesting fight."
"I think I've always been mentally prepared, but usually I go into a fight just as if I'm going to practice . . . I go there, play, and go home. In the Machida fight I was going in to fight--and that's a mistake. I've never let that happen to myself before. So this time I'm going in just to play... and it's just a fight, and I'll go home with a win. No pressure, no nothing. Play time."

Restaurant owner anguish in sign battle
5:00pm Tuesday 10th June 2014 in News By Joe Faretra
AN ANDOVER restaurant owner has spoken of her anguish and stress over a long-running signs battle with the council.
Shahi Raj owner Rahela Khanom said she has been asked to remove the signs from the front of her business by Test Valley Borough Council and believes it will damage her business if she complies.
Mrs Khanom, who has been running the restaurant for over 20 years, has been embroiled in a six-year battle to keep her signage which the council says is in a conservation area.
She added, however, that she feels she is the only business being targeted in the small row of traders in Winchester Street.
"It's causing me so much stress that I'm not sleeping well at night," said Mrs Khanom.
"The landlord has threatened to get involved, and I may find myself locked out of the restaurant with nothing.
"The man from the council said the reason it wasn't picked up sooner was due to an oversight on their part.
"I just don't know what to do or where to turn."
Community-minded Rahela said she will continue to fight but admits that she doesn't know how much fight she has left in her.
Test Valley says it regrets that Mrs Khanom is unhappy with the situation.
A council spokesman said: "The council has been working with Mrs Khanom for some time to try to come to an agreement about the restaurant signage.
"Our concern is not with the size or colour of the sign, rather it is the material used and incorporated lighting which is not appropriate for display on a listed building in a conservation area.
"We are keen to reach a successful resolution which would mean that the restaurant could continue to display a sign that is in keeping with the area and historic nature of the building.
"An application for planning permission has now been received for a revised design."

Boston Sports Media Watch
There are probably several dozen reasons why Peter Gammons is a living legend. He revolutionized the Sunday paper with his notes columns. He transitioned from print to TV to Web and paved the way for colleagues to do the same. He continues to prove that "connected people" get the best, most accurate information on a consistent basis.
But for us, the Legend of Gammons will never be bigger than it was on Saturday evening at a legendary local joint known as The Paradise for the "Night Before" Hot Stove, Cool Music event. In that room, where Bono, Tom Petty and Billy Joel – to name a few – had stood, we were treated to Gammons joining an All-Star compendium of musicians, jocks and Kid GM-types.
And while Theo Epstein, "Sonny D" (Lenny DiNardo) and Zack Scott's "hot harmonica" were entertaining; it was the sight of Gammons that was both inspiring and energizing.
June 27th was a literal Tuesday but it was almost Gammons's literary Sunday. That morning he suffered a brain aneurysm near his Cape Cod home. He was airlifted to Boston, placed on an O.R. table and forced to face the nastiest fastball of his baseball life.
Six and a half months later, Gammons was his own, rock and roll version of " phenomenal swag,", dressed in a slick, black button-down and crisp, white slacks with black loafers.
He played his Stratocaster, yes he did – played it well, too. But mostly he just soaked in the seventh annual event that is becoming Boston's equivalent of MTV's Rock and Jocks. His "Hot Stove, Cool Music All-Star Band" played a rousing set, highlighted by a gritty, inspired Powder Finger from Neil Young. By the time Paul Barrere knocked us out with some vintage Little Feat – including a Willin'/ The Weight/Back into Willin' number, we found ourselves in stunned silence, alone on the balcony of The 'Dise. We watched as Gammons sat mesmerized, in the background, fixated on Barrere's guitar-playing during the night's final set.
And we couldn't help think about the journey Gammons has taken from, quite frankly, near death to a stage in the neighborhood of the park, Fenway, where he's done some of his best work. Was he a medical miracle or "Just Peter" as his associates say? Saved or re-born?
Gammons, who was stretched thin all week with HSCM and the Baseball writers' dinner, was able to email us this wonderful anecdote as part of the answer to those questions:
"Paul and all of them are incredible, and when I told (drummer) Richie (Hayward) that it was ridiculous that they were thanking me, (considering) they (were the ones who) flew in for an hour's performance, Richie said, 'We're here to celebrate you being alive.'
"That brought tears on the ride home," Gammons admitted.
After that night, we know all about driving home a bit misty-eyed.
. . . Shots got over to the show a bit late, and missed the "pretty people" who had been in earlier Saturday night including Big Papi's Big Mami and a Papelbon or two. We did manage to glimpse Leigh Montville and who believed to be Paul Epstein in the Improper Bostonian's roped off VIP box and Dirt Dog Dim Dog, Steve Silva was snapping pictures.
. . .Further proving how little couth Shots actually possesses, we were overtaken by the need to drink the Paradise's Pabst Blue Ribbon 16 ouncers in a can ($3) and even prompted to hand a few out as tokens of our appreciation. Umie extraordinaire, Keith Gainsboro, from Elevate Communications took his, punched a key hole in it and shot-gunned the sucker in under three seconds. No, actually he left it exactly where it landed and went back to his Sam Adams Light. Hater.
Gainsboro, Meghan Campbell and Elevate's entire staff work tirelessly (pro bono, we're told) on HSCM every year and each year, with yeoman work from the Herald's Jeff Horrigan and a host of others, it gets bigger and more a part of the fabric of the city. Just an all-around fantastic event for a great cause.
. . . Zack Scott (no relation to Shots), for those of you who are wondering, is Theo's Assistant Director of Baseball Operations. He really could wail harp quite well.
• ESPN, now closer with NASCAR than ever, is rolling out all sorts of blanket coverage of the motor sport. So far, the best upshot of that as been an introduction to Shannon Spakes.
• Serving our self-discovered role of helping everyone else do their jobs, Shots would like to offer a few suggestions (specifically on the Pepperdine club) for Bill Simmons, who is going to be doing some "deep research" on what it's like to do color commentary for one of the "networks" (ESPNU, which is technically part of one of the Networks).
"I'm just doing two games – 1/15 and 1/22 – because I wanted to write a column about what it's like to announce a game," Simmons wrote in his chat this week. "Don't get your hopes up – there's a 100-percent chance I'm going to be bad at this. As long as I don't completely kill the game, I'll be happy."
So, here, in no particular order, are three things you'll need to incorporate into the Pepperdine broadcast:
1. Head Coach Vance Walberg is an evil genius of the highest order. He wants his teams to score 200 points a game and he won't be happy until that mission is accomplished. He's about two years from what he wants the Waves to be, but you'll see glimpses of the Phoenix Suns from your NBA.
2. The Waves have a female trainer by the name of Debbie Prouse. Prouse not only sits at the head of the bench with assistant coaches (a rarity for trainers), she also served as a trainer for a reality show that you've probably heard of, but escapes me right now. This will be good fodder when the game becomes a blowout, or when you need divert attention from the fact that you had been singing Katrina and the Waves songs to mock the Pepperdine student body.
3. Walberg's daughters work with the program. They are quite attractive, and obviously like basketball. There should be no fewer than 20 shots of each, on the bench (preferably next to Debbie Prouse) during the game you work. This will ensure a ratings bonanza and turn your George Plimpton-of-the-sideline routine in a lucrative, long-term deal.
. . . By the way, has anyone else been enjoying Sports Gal's weekly riffs and picks? It's at the point now where I read her before Simmons. She's sassy.
• Just a bit more on our GateHouse grumblings from last week: How would like to be a 10-year employee at a low, mid-major paper and be asked to re-apply (and interview) for the job you've held for a decade?
Well, according to one Shots' dime-dropper familiar with GateHouse's plans, here's some of the junk the Gate Keepers are pulling"
The company has made every employee at (two of the papers, the Fall River Herald-News and Taunton Gazette) re-apply for their jobs. They have informed (workers) that "not 100 percent" of staffers will be rehired, and the lucky ones who are, will likely be done so at a new (read: lower) pay scale.
Fall River is unionized, and there is every indication that GateHouse is trying to break the union. With that in mind, staffers at Fall River are planning a sickout very soon. Taunton has no union.
It seems likely that GateHouse intends to cut some of its best staffers simply because they're too expensive, and cut costs with a less-talented staff.
Disgraceful, isn't it? But really, these papers have been mis-managed for so long, that the only – SOLITARY – shot that companies like GH have, is to blow up the model and re-invent the diagram. They just don't seem to be going about it with much consideration for the employees.
• Junior Seau, still a Pats team member appears to be out of sight, out of mind for the local papers (however, NBC7's "WB News at Ten" jumped all over it on Thursday night). Fortunately The Smoking Gun and the San Diego locals haven't forgotten about him. Doesn't exactly sound like a "Pats character guy" to us.
The locals are at least a day (and now two) late on the Seau story, something the Track Gals should be embarrassed by.
Perhaps some of the Pats' traveling media can visit the Sidebar on Market Street in San Diego and report back on the findings.
• Great, MLS gets David Beckham and places him in LA where he can become a caricature of himself and be largely ignored by the East Coast-biased sports media. Whatever. Soccer doesn't work here. It never will. And I'll never change my mind.
• Be on alert earlier next week for a new "This is SportsCenter" spot which will feature the farcical AnchorCam. Debuting Monday, Jan. 15, the as will feature John Buccigross "wearing AnchorCam, providing viewers a first-ever anchor's-eye view of SportsCenter."
• Once again proving that no act is career-ending in sports journalism, we bumped into the presumably original writings of former Hartford Courant national college hoops writer, Ken Davis at MSNBC.com.
And you wonder why sportswriting is considered the "toy department"?
• Northeastern Husky Mania will sweep CN8 this weekend as the local Comcast entry airs CAA hoops action on Saturday at noon with Hofstra visiting Northeastern, and the night-cap to the day-nighter of Husky athletics later that evening with a hockey visit from UVM (7 p.m.).
. . . CN8 had some ugly technical difficulties in the late second half of its Hofstra win at Drexel in overtime (55-53) on Thursday night that left viewers without graphics and with a jumpy, fuzzy, blinking screen for several minutes. It only intensified our headache by 100 or so. Just awful. Scott Graham (on PBP) kept apologizing, but we're guessing most casual observers flipped away from the production embarrassment. Rob Kennedy, on color, maintained his steady, informed delivery throughout, and once the picture got straightened out, Graham offered: "You can see the picture, we'll fill you in on the rest." He proceeded to go into radio broadcast-mode deftly until full graphics returned with 2 minutes left in the game, and in time for OT (as well as couple of key slo-mo replays).
Watching sports without time, score and shot clock can be quite a challenge – for everyone involved.
• Congrats to the Globe's new 'west coast correspondent', Mark Blaudschun, who was honored with the Bert McGrane Award by the College Football Writers Association of America.
Blaudschun was instructed this week to stay west, young man, as he extended his journey from the Phoenix-area (where he covered, since Jan. 2, the Fiesta Bowl and the BCS Championship game) to San Diego (where he did advances from Chargers camp).
That kind of road trip can get old in a hurry, we're guessing.
• UMass (and the Atlantic 10 Conference) have finally managed to place three games locally on WSBK TV38 in addition to the school's remaining CSTV and ESPN2 appearances. The games scheduled for 'SBK are all road contests: Charlotte (1/28, 1 p.m.), Dayton (2/18, 2 p.m.) and the final regular season game at St. Joe's (3/3, 4 p.m.).

The Conference USA Bowl picture had been a little unclear over the last week. Even though most teams knew exactly where they stood in the conference, they didn't know where they would land come bowling season. The dust has settled, and we now know where everyone will be after UCF put the finishing touches on the C-USA season with a 17-7 win over SMU in the conference championship game.
The win sends Central Florida to play in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis, TN on December 31 vs. an SEC team yet to be determined. The SMU Mustangs end up in a familiar place and one where many thought they would end up, playing in their home stadium on December 28 vs. Army.
Tulsa, who was awaiting the final word on their destination, was either going to be playing in Dallas or in Hawaii. Because SMU will be playing in Dallas, Tulsa will get the nod to go play the University of Hawaii in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl. Southern Miss and East Carolina were the exception here, as they knew exactly where they would be playing after accepting invitations earlier in the week. Southern Miss will be playing in the St. Petersburg Beef 'O' Brady Bowl vs. a Big East team on December 21, while ECU will play in the Military Bowl December 29 vs. an ACC team.
As we all learned officially yesterday, our Miners will be playing in the New Mexico Bowl vs. longtime WAC conference foe and rival BYU on December 18 at 2 p.m. in Albuquerque. Tickets are now on sale and probably wont last long. If you are able to, make the 3 1/2 hour drive to support our Miners.
* In the 2009-2010 season conference USA finished 2-4 in bowl games, with SMU beating Nevada 45-10 in the Hawaii Bowl, and Marshall beating Ohio 21-17 in the Little Ceasar's Bowl.

H. Jon Benjamin has portrayed Sterling Archer for three seasons on the series of the same name on FX, Archer. Just as Archer is set to return for its third season on January 29, 2012, Benjamin took questions from the media about this very adult cartoon, as well as his other work on TV shows like Bob's Burgers, Home Movies and, of all things, WordGirl. However, don't expect to get any real answers from this actor; his spy lessons have proven useful.
In his usual fashion, H. Jon Benjamin gave the moderator a difficult time before taking questions.
Jon: "How do you get to the operator? Sorry."
P. R.: "You will not be asking any questions, Jon."
Jon: "I just want to get the operator, if you don't mind."
P. R.: "You'll just press zero. And everyone, just a reminder, the third season-"
Jon: "It's not working."
P. R.: "It's not working for you?"
Jon: "Trying to get to the operator. Could I please get to the operator?"
P. R.: "Operator, are you there?"
Moderator: "Yes, I am."
Jon: "Oh hey. How are you?"
Moderator Good. "How are you?"
Jon: "It's Jon. This woman has too many rules. It's not fair for anybody to have to sit through that."
Moderator: "I can disconnect her line."
Jon: "Yeah. Let's do it."
P. R.: "Okay, everyone. Well, they're unable to disconnect my line, so I'm going to go ahead and let you know that-"
Jon: "Operator, I need you to disconnect that woman's line."
P. R.: "The third season of Archer will premiere this coming-"
Jon: "Operator."
P. R.: "-Thursday, January, 19 at 10:00 p.m.-"
Jon: "There is nobody listening to me."
P. R.: "-only on FX. And now I'll throw it back to Stacy, our moderator, and Jon will answer a couple of questions for all of you guys.""
You're working on Archer and Bob's Burgers and you have the Comedy Central Show, so-
Jon: "We all know how that's going."
How do you balance all these projects and how different is it for you?
Jon: "Well, it's a constant-tons of protein shakes and a very regimented workout schedule that keeps me energized. And the rest I just leave to my rabbi and my group of people who I consult with."
What's your favorite thing about voicing Sterling Archer? What do you like best about him?
Jon: "I like the way he looks. He's handsome. That's a big advantage. I'm not so handsome, and I like all the stuff I get to say, obviously. I like being rude, and it gives me a good opportunity to do that."
How did you get the role of Archer?
Jon: "It's not a great story. Adam Reed, the creator of Archer, God rest his soul, he called me-I think he had heard me do some other work on Adult Swim shows, and he called me to read the part. I don't know if other people had been asked. I don't know if I was first choice or like literally last resort-probably last resort, right? Right?
"So, yes, and then I accepted and then it worked out well. But I was tentative because I didn't think I could pull off a spy. If you knew me, you'd know all the reasons why.
How did having Burt Reynolds as a guest star come about?
Jon: "Which Burt Reynolds thing?
In the season premiere.
Jon: "Wait, he was in it?"
Yeah, unless I had a dream about that.
Jon: "Oh. Man, no one tells me anything about this. That's great. I can't believe he's still doing stuff. He should take a break. It's been like 60 years. Like just stop. I think, they mentioned him-I think it was the natural-well, not the natural progression, but Archer's obviously referenced Burt Reynolds a lot, so I'm sure it popped into Adam Reed's head to just to try and cast him. It's funny that I shouldn't be calling like these people and you must think like they'll never do it and then they're probably like, 'Of course, I'll do it.'"
How much of Archer is improvisation?
Jon: "Very little. There is not a lot of room. The scripts are tightly written and he encourages sometimes on occasion, he'll be like do you want to add anything, and I'll say no. So it's not the same kind of production as Bob's Burgers, which is a lot improvising all the time, but the scripts don't really require it."
Why do you think the show has been so popular with the masses?
Jon: "Well, the masses are idiots, so they don't know any better. They're too busy just staring at the light and cartoons are colorful. So don't get me started about the masses. I'm really not a fan. But as far as interacting with the cast, I really don't do any of that. They record everybody separately and once I tried to--Aisha Tyler--but that didn't work out yet."
Your voice is pretty distinct-
Jon: "Yours is, too."
Thank you.
Jon: "Everybody's is. Everybody's is different. It's like a snowflake."
There's a lot of yelling involved, which must get tiring at some point. Has there ever been a point where you want a few scripts which just has Archer whispering and not talking at all?
Jon: "I would love to in parentheses. Just once. It is, and I have to say, like I recently, whenever I finish-it's not grueling or anything, but my vocal cords don't recover for like a day after an Archer session. So they owe me. And it's not like I'm at war, but it's hard on the throat. But, yes, I would like to do--someday."
Do you recognize the obscure pop culture references in Archer?
Jon: "Yes. There's like a 50/50 ratio of me knowing and me not, but I'm always getting questions about that, and occasionally I don't have the answer. I forgot to check. Fortunately, I've read some [Herman] Melville, so that's good, and some-so I knew a couple, but there is some stuff like the guy who invented or who started eugenics-I didn't know that was him. So I'll oftentimes be asked what …, and the first season I always got the question about Johnny Bench or … that was said, which I did not know about him, or why-a lot of people asked me why did you say that. Nobody knew, but it's a relatively educational show."
There's a bonus feature on the latest DVD set where you become Sterling Archer in the animation. I was wondering whose idea was that and how did you feel about doing that?
Jon: "It was my idea, I believe, so I felt bad about it. I think it was my idea because it was actually made for this comedy festival that this comedian Eugene Mirman (Bob's Burgers) does, and I wanted to-Adam wrote the entire thing but I said we should do something to show-they were doing an Archer event, so it was made for that and then they spun it off to ship it on DVD. But I think initially it was my idea."

Hey there, moon_90_0 . My name is Riazuna, and I very much welcome you to my humble petpage.
Note: Brown Peophin adoptables are going to cover my petpage, seeing no artist that Moony has seen has captured the beauty of woodland peophins in adoptables.A gentle mare with calming eyes
With greatness high to clouds in the skies

Making beauty a difficult maze.
So, You guys can hang around, and learn more of my past... I guess. /shies away

Sage the Yackito
When I was a foal, I found Sage's egg in a bush, fallen from a low branch, unharmed, and lonely. I didn't find his mother, so I decided to tell my dam, Leaf about the egg. She helped me take care of it, and when it hatched, it blinked at me with eyes full of curiosity, wisdom and knowledge. That is why I called him Sage.
Now, Sage follows me wherever I go, offers me advice, and guides me through tight situations. With strangers, however, Sage can bite or get cranky.
When I was young, I used to live with my mother, Leaf, in a forest North of Altador. Father, Southern Forest, studied herbs and magical natural medicines. He left us when I was a year old, to go and learn from other nations and lands about new medicines. He disappeared after that, and we never heard from him until he sent us a letter saying that he'll be travelling and continuing our quest. So we decided to remain in the forest, safe from enemies. And besides, Father might return.
Mother studied magic and its abilities. Often would I volunteer to be the experiment rat. She changed my mane color to mint, and my eyes to green. Once, she tried a transforming spell, but it didn't work. She wanted to change me into a tree, but I guess the spell failed, and she forgot about trying it again, I guess. One day, I was collecting berries from a bush and return back to our cottage, when I heard a growl after the cottage was in my eye sight. Mother must have heard it too, because she galloped out of our cottage, and screamed: Look out, my daughter!
It was a wild, tyrannian kougra, who was skinny, and seemed to be a long was from home. The kougra chased after Mother. Mother! I cried. The kougra pounced on my mother's back and my mother began trying to buck him off. I pushed Mother with strong force, and the kougra fell on the floor. To revenge, the kougra pounced on my back, and my eyes widened with fear. Suddenly, my heart began beating quick, and I felt myself change... into a tree! I became a tall tree, and the kougra fell off my back, which was now a bunch of branches. The kougra escaped. When I transformed back, a leaf sprouted from beneath my mane. It was a sign that I was a wood sprite, and so would I remain for my whole life.
Forever and ever a woodsprite...
Clyzon • Pet Lookup • Petpage
When I met Clyzon, I didn't have a clue that he'd be a good and loyal friend from the start. We met in Altador. I was galloping after Sage who got cranky and ran away because he found the shopkeepers very strange, and you know, Sage gets very cranky around stranger. That was when I bumped into a sixteen-hand tall Tyrannian peophin, or in other words, Clyzon. I got pushed to the floor, and so did he.
I am so, so sorry sir. I helped him up, looking at the direction Sage went. Sage got cranky because of the shopkeepers and-
It's quite alright. He said in a calming voice. Would you like me to help you find him? I thanked the peophin, and we took off to find him. Clyzon noted out Sage's tracks into the forest, so we took off, under the dark, cloudy sky.
Lightning slashed through the sky and struck the trees. I still remember Sage's cry of help as the flames surrounded us three. A flaming tree fell infront of us, and soon, we were surrounded by flames.
I'm jumping that. You two wait here.He instructed. I began protesting but he wove it off and galloped, jumping cleanly over the log and out of sight.
The flames almost reached my wooden body, and I couldn't breathe because of the smoke. until-- SPLASH! Out of no where, Water Unis and Peophin rushed to our aid, spreading their water around to put out the fire. Clyzon galloped into view and helped me into safety. Perhaps from that moment on, I had him a friend, and Sage trusted Clyzon.
From the distances - far away,
From the breaking dawn of the day,
A peophin began to sing and sway,
As she collected berries of all...
The peophin return but to danger,
And soon the peophin was a changer,
After that she promised to be a ranger,
An archer to fight danger's call.
Little did most know what she'd be,
For she did not belong in the sea,
She'd reply to those who see,
She's a tree that grows so tall!

Former contestants from different seasons of The Ultimate Fighter, Mike Swick and Ben Saunders, are penciled in to hook 'em up in a welterweight bout at UFC 99 from the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany on June 13, according to FiveOuncesOfPain.com.
Swick is a former middleweight contender who recently made the move down to 170 pounds. He scored a "quick" technical knockout of Jonathan Goulet at UFC Fight Night 16: "Fight for the Troops" back in December 2008. It was the first stoppage for the American Kickboxing Academy standout in more than two years and the first for him as a welterweight.
He is currently undefeated (3-0) in the new division with wins over Goulet, Marcus Davis and Josh Burkman.
Saunders was actually expected to be in action next weekend against Dustin Hazelett at UFC 96 from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, on March 7. However, both fighters had to withdraw from the event because of injuries.
"Berserk" is coming off a lopsided first round ass-kicking of Brandon Wolff at UFC Night 16: "Fight For the Troops" back in December 2008. The former TUF 6 competitor channeled the Muay Thai skills of UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva to totally rout the Hawaiian in his Octagon debut.
It was impressive (and painful) to watch to say the least. Saunders has been perfect (3-0) since his stint on the mixed martial arts reality series, defeating Ryan Thomas at UFC 87: "Seek and Destroy" in August and Dan Barrera via unanimous decision at TUF 6 Finale.
Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for more on the developing UFC 99 fight card.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Located on 'The Chicken Wall' of the 'Clock Tower', this is just right of "Chicken Hawk". This is the longest route on the wall and gives a couple cruxes. Watch out for the bat shit/piss before pulling the roof at the top. A key hold can be found for reaching the anchors by reaching around the right arete to a large jug. It is a decent route (a little dirty) with many different types of moves. 2 stars.
7 bolts - 2 bolt anchor.

The Braves BrainTrust of Wren and Cox need to make some additional moves and make them now.
Derek Lowe has a bone chip lodged in his elbow, has already missed missed a start and, very simply, cannot be relied upon at this time. Yes, he is a veteran and has a big contract, but, No!, he should not be allowed to make the crucial decision that he will "pitch through it" and thereby jeopardize our Championship Season.
If Lowey had been dealing ace-like prior to this setback, it might be different. However, he has regularly been performing at a substandard level, with a dismal 2-5 record, 4.77 ERA and 66 hits allowed in 54.2 inninings over his last ten starts, which is far from the ace-like dealing we are paying for and absolutely need to have.
Looking back a little further, MLB beat writer Mark Bowman has noted:
In the 15 starts Lowe had made before his right arm was essentially "worthless" (stole that description from Lowe), he was 3-8 with a 4.25 ERA. Opponents hit .271 and compiled a .336 on-base percentage during this span.
Enough! Disable Derek Lowe!
Backdating it to his 3 inning debacle on 8/29 would mean he will miss, at the least, his next two starts. So, who starts those games?
Kenshin Kawakami? No! He has clearly lost his mojo (or the Japanese equivalent) for whatever reason and, more importantly, seems to have entirely lost Bobby Cox's confidence. For Bobby to say the following about one of his players is almost unprecedented and - to me - a very clear sign:
"He just couldn't get in a groove, to locate his pitches. He just never got in a rhythm tonight."
"That's the worst I've ever seen him."
Frankly, given the way KK was allowed to languish in a dark and forgotten corner of the bullpen prior to being sent down to AAA, I would not at all be surprised to never see him pitch another inning in a Braves uniform.
But irrespective of all that, the simple fact is KK can not be relied upon at this critical juncture of our season any more so than the sore-armed and hopefully soon to be DL'ed DL. He's now 1-10 with a 5.11 ERA for the season. Just horrid.
Enough! No more starts for KK!
So, who is ready to step into the void?
The bold and obvious choice is: Brandon Beachy. Now!
To quote our superb minor league guru, cbwilk:
Brandon Beachy continues to surprise everyone, tossing 6 scoreless tonight while walking none and striking out 8. When he was dominating out of the bullpen for Mississippi it was easy to say he was getting lucky, when he was dominating as a starter for Mississippi it was easy to say it was a fluke, but after a full season of dominance at the 2 highest levels of the Minor Leagues, a 1.73 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 5.3 K/BB, 11.2 K/9, and 2.1 BB/9, it's impossible not to consider Beachy a prospect, and very good one at that.
Now, I am fully cognizant of the fact that running out a raw rookie in the pressure of a pennant race is not the way the Braves organization ordinarily likes to operate. But these are, most assuredly, not ordinary times.
We have 27 games left on the schedule. If we can hold off the Phils, we will have a very good shot at home field advantage throughout the playoffs and a World Series berth. The urgency to Win Now! has never been greater.
Literally, every game is crucial.
Update (9/5, 1:35 PM):
Bowman: Lowe says he's ready to pitch.
This is no good.
I mean, he admits: "It's not like [the discomfort] has disappeared." And just a few days ago, he couldn't even play catch and for weeks, he's been brushing his teeth left-handed.
So, sure it is good that it feels somewhat better now, but this is because the nerve irritation and the swelling have diminished due to a cortisone shot and the small detail that he has not been throwing a baseball at game velocity.
The fact of the matter seems to be that a MRI has shown that the bone chip is lodged in a spot where it has caused and will presumably continue to cause significant nerve irritation; there's no reason to think the pathologic condition has resolved; and Lowe's performance has very obviously been suffering because of it. Logically, this will likely continue and Lowe's performance will continue to hurt the team if he is allowed to go back out there.
The fact that he's a warrior and willing to try to pitch through the pain is clear.
Equally clear is the team needs to just say No!

So, I've been digging the 2010 lineups, and would like to send a candy-coated chill pill to the geniuses who say "uhhh, you don't think the Yankees are gonna make trades b/w now and then." Yeah, no shizzle, Sherlock. But the whole fun of it is to see what sorts of 2010 rosters current organizations have contained within their present talent pool. It was very illustrative, for instance, to see just how weak the 2010 A's are looking, at this moment, if we just consider what talent is showing itself as present (at this moment).
Anyway, I thought it might be fun to put together a squad of players who I think will be contributors in 2010 but who may or may not have strong prospect reps right now. You know, the future Jason Bays, Brian Giles, Scott Hatteburgs, Mark Buehrles, Paul Loducas, Ryan Theriots, Chris Duncans, Marcus Thamses.
Basically, it's a list of guys I don't expect to see on teams' 2010 lineups here in the diaries that I think will be seen to be quite a bit more valuable contributors three years from now.

The Future of Customer Service: These Companies Are Getting it Right
Companies know we don't approach them the way we used to. I almost always choose self-checkout and automated help chats, and I'm not usually willing to hold. Plus, I can order almost anything from almost anywhere. Having fewer conversations makes every interaction more important, and the better those interactions, the more loyal I become. And every customer matters, right?
That's why we keep hearing stories about random, radical acts of customer service: Loyalty is more important than sales numbers. Companies are OK with employees bending the rules if customers will sing their praises. And now that the best stories go viral, can one outrageous story be just as valuable as consistent kindness?
These 10 companies have given a lot of thought to what customer service means in the 21st century—and are mastering the art.
1. Zappos.com
Zappos.com is the company that let a call center staffer spend 10 hours with a single customer last month. Understandably, that call broke records—and Zappos.com held the previous record, too (an 8-hour call in 2011). Online, customer service reps introduce themselves when they sign onto Twitter, and the page's background image features those reps wearing paper moustaches. Zappos mandates that employees spend 80 percent of their days with customers, but each person can make that happen in a unique way. And if that means chatting about life in Las Vegas and only selling one pair of boots, like the woman on the 10-hour call, so be it.
2. L.L. Bean
L.L. Bean features real voices online, too: Customer service staffers responded to every single question surveyors tweeted at the company in a 2012 study. It also harnesses its woodsy Maine heritage for national good. For its 100-year anniversary, L.L. Bean asked customers to share their "outdoor moments" via social media. More than a million people responded, so the company donated $1 million to the National Park Service. The pictures are adorable, and most of them have nothing to do with L.L. Bean.
3. Southwest Airlines
Southwest Airlines outright refuses to hire people who aren't friendly, one Senior Vice President said (and even at 4 a.m., I've noticed that policy). Noted for transparent communication, Southwest has twice been the subject of tell-all reality TV shows. And when one passenger wrote a story about his damaged bag and sent the website to the airline, Southwest replaced the bag and replied to his message in kind—pictures and all. What could have been a PR disaster became a genuinely funny apology.
4. Nordstrom
Nordstrom famously allows customers to return items without receipts, even years after they're purchased. So when the chain opened a store in a space acquired from an auto shop, one man tried to return a set of tires. Nordstrom doesn't sell tires, of course. But true to company policy, one salesperson accepted them anyway. By poking fun at its own rules, the retailer made that man's day.
5. Amazon.com
Amazon consistently tops customer service polls because people hardly need the company's help. When they do want advice, users sign in and describe their problem before calling, so employees answering phones have data to inspire their conversations. Thanks to Amazon's trusty, efficient platform, I don't even know where the customer service form is. That's a service in itself.
6. Ritz-Carlton
The Ritz-Carlton requires that every employee attend a 15-minute meeting every day. Two things happen here: One, managers applaud one person's noteworthy act of service, and two, they describe the hotel guests in one room or one meeting. Last year, an 8-year-old left his teddy bear in one of those rooms in Amelia Island, Australia. The hotel promised his parents they'd mail the bear home that day—but not before they gave Joshie (the bear) access to the pool, the front desk, the golf cart, and his own Ritz-Carlton ID. In the process of doing the right thing, these workers had a blast, and their pictures secured the loyalty of Joshie's owners.
7. Panera Bread
Last year, Panera opened four pay-what-you can "Community Cafes." The company's owner says he wants the same food to be accessible to everyone—including Brandon Cook's grandmother, who asked for clam chowder in a bread bowl the week before she died. Chowder is only served on Fridays, but the restaurant's managers disregarded that rule and threw in a box of cookies, too. Three Panera Bread Community Cafés are already profitable, and Cook's Facebook post got more than half a million likes. Generosity really can be practical.
8. CVS/Caremark
CVS/Caremark started its Samaritan Van service more than 30 years ago. Staffed by licensed EMTs, these vans patrol highways in the Northeast and Midwest and stop to help repair cars, give medical assistance or call police. The company says it gets about 7,000 thank you cards every year.
9. Lego
Lego targeted its excellent customer service toward kids this past Christmas. A boy who had been saving for a Lego Emerald Night Train for two years found out the company had discontinued that set. He wrote to Lego, and it replied with a typical form letter, then delivered a package to his house before his birthday. Another kid lost one of his action figures and also wrote to Lego (and admitted he should have listened to his dad). The company sent him two unreleased characters and a partial transcript from a conversation with Sensei Wu, the character he'd lost. Kids are Lego's customers and they deserve respect, and the company understands that.
10. Sainsbury's
Finally, a story you probably know: Sainsbury's customer Lily Robinson, age 3, thought "tiger bread" looked far more like "giraffe bread" in 2011. She wrote the company a letter about it. Yes, an employee replied—but then the supermarket actually changed its labels. Sainsbury's proved that bottom-up change works in the corporate world, too.
We're challenging the GOOD community to commit our time to service. Go here to pledge 1 percent of your time—that's 20 hours—to being part of the solution this year.
