"I think, we will continue to look for expansion for another year," said Wisconsin Athletic Director Barry Alvarez. "I think everybody was thing (last May) as schools were moving and looking that may be the direction (a 16-team conference). Our commissioner and our league decided to study it for a year."And you thought Big Ten expansion was dead! Alvarez reportedly brought up the possibility of further Big Ten expansion to the East yesterday on XM radio (1, 2), but I have not been able to find an archive or transcript of the conversation. Am I desperately clinging to second-hand message board posts? Yes, yes I am.
Texas President William Powers and AD DeLoss Dodd gathered up the Longhorn coaches this afternoon. Told them we did everything we could to save the Big 12, but were unsuccessful. And according to my sources, the 6 schools that Orangebloods.com first reported last Thursday as being targeted by the Pac 10 will indeed accept those invitations. Including Colorado who will opt out of the Big 12. And that they will find their new home in the Pac 10 in 2012 and form the United States' first super conference.Orangebloods.com's Chip Brown pronounces Big 12 dead on Sportscenter. Nothing is official though until you hear it from a University President. Stay tuned.
Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott today will recommend to his league's presidents and chancellors that the conference fire the first shot in what could end up as a "revolutionizing" step in college realignment by extending invitations to six teams from the Big 12. Tom Osborne and Nebraska have been at odds with Texas in the past. Now UT needs Nebraska to hold the B12 together. The schools on the Pac-10 wish list are Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Colorado. (Although a group of lawmakers in Texas is vowing to fight for Baylor to get that invitation instead of Colorado.) And it's looking more and more like those Big 12 teams could help form the country's first 16-team super conference unless they get assurances from Nebraska in the next 10 days that the Cornhuskers are are committed to staying in the Big 12.This expansion stuff is really beginning to sound serious. See also: Dr. Saturday. It's fascinating and worrisome at the same time.
I just think that the Big Ten, with the kind of programs we have, the universities we have, there's gotta be a couple of schools out there that would be an asset to us. And, obviously, it'd be an advantage to them if we decide to go. Now, I don't think it's fair for me to say which ones. But, obviously I hope we get somebody from the East. You know, I think it'll help us with the New York and New Jersey television markets.Joe Paterno on Pittsburgh Radio, again speaking up for his prized pupil and perhaps repaying Rutgers for blinding following him around like a puppy for decades (approx 3:56 in). Update: partial transcript available here.
The Big Ten Conference is still in the early stages of weighing whether and where to expand and is "not anywhere near" the point of identifying and approaching prospective new schools, commissioner Jim Delany said Wednesday. "We have not accelerated anything," Delany said, refuting a Chicago Tribune report late last week that the league had stepped up its timetable.From the USA Today. We really should have known better. Delany is set to address reporters today; we assure you he will tell them nothing of value.
In 2008, Missouri athletics collected $8.4 million, behind the universities of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Texas A&M. Texas led the way with $10.2 million. Some estimates forecast this year's payout to Missouri will be about $10 million as conference revenue continues to grow. The Big Ten, by comparison, passed along nearly $207 million to its members in 2008. Each member school received about $18.8 million. Accounting for a 12th school, the disbursements would still top $17 million each. That number is estimated to grow to more than $20 million this yearFrom the St. Louis Business Journal. (H/T: ESPN.com)
The Big XII isn't as much "dysfunctional" as just plain underutilized; no conference with Texas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska should be such an afterthought on the national landscape. But lo and behold, a defection to the Big Ten by Missouri (that's very, very happening, by the way; the Big 10 would love to get in on the St. Louis market, and Missouri's brass have been writing "MIZZOU + BIG TEN 4EVER" on their Trapper Keepers ever since the BXI mentioned the word "expansion") will shock the conference into action. It might be ugly, and we're highly skeptical that Baylor survives the, ahem, restructuring.-- From the college football entry in SB Nation's "Decade of Change" series.
Texas has not been a good conference partner. We did not save the SWC, and we are not saving the Big 12. We have been in two conferences, and each chose (per our wishes) to not share media revenue equally (the Big 10 and SEC do share revenue…say, what are the two strongest conferences?). This can (and probably does) lead to resentment of Texas. In the Big 10, Indiana knows that a strong Michigan helps its own bottom line. In the Big 12, a strong Texas does nothing for Baylor.Barking Carnival with proof that some Texas fans do indeed get it. (H/T: BOTC)
Arkansas goes to the Big 12, so we get to pick up another school. Enter Clemson. I've said since I was a freshman in college that Clemson is more of an SEC school than an ACC school. They are the Land Grant University of South Carolina, have SEC ties, and make a better fit than many of the current schools. That would be a very smooth transition for everyone. We could move UT to the West, where they have natural rivalries with Alabama and Auburn anyway. Clemson would fall into an SEC East schedule, and with games against UGA, UF, USC and Vandy every year would make for some very good matchups.Great minds think alike . . . but, whether you agree or disagree, you can vote in the poll!

The latest restoration effort on one of Southern Arizona's major cattle ranches was unveiled Saturday with a reminder that there is plenty of work yet to be done.
The county dedicated the newly named Hacienda de la Canoa Ranch headquarters at RaĂşl M. Grijalva Canoa Ranch Conservation Park, a $4.2 million project that is part of the larger Canoa Master Plan. The park is on the east side of Interstate 19 about a mile north of the Canoa Ranch interchange.
Get lost in the nostalgia of one of the great western ranches still in existence. Upon your arrival at Canoa Ranch you are transported into a different time. No smart phones, no television and certainly no internet. A simpler time, when a hard days work didn't involve an office and air conditioning was non-existent. Friends of Canoa is dedicated to preserving this amazing ranch, so that it can be enjoyed for generations to come.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. -- The Alabama football team
wrapped up its final preparations for top-ranked Notre Dame with a two
hour practice, Saturday afternoon at Barry University. The Crimson Tide
will hold a walk-thru at Sun Life Stadium on Sunday.
"I would like to thank the Orange Bowl committee and everybody here
in South Florida for the great hospitality that they have provided our
team," Alabama head coach Nick Saban
said. "As a team we certainly embrace the challenges that every season
brings. We are here to try and take advantage of a great opportunity
that the players have created for themselves."
Alabama got its day started once again in front of the cameras, this
time at the BCS Championship Media Day. The whole team and coaching
staff participated at the event that was held at the site of the
championship game.
The Tide will meet the Irish in Miami Gardens, Fla., on Monday, Jan.
7, to determine the national champion. ESPN will carry the matchup with
Brent Musburger and Kirk Herbstreit calling the action and Tom Rinaldi
and Heather Cox reporting from the sideline.

text: Sorry to be posting this so late, but I don't think we need any extra motivation to celebrate today. The big game against Syracuse today had all of us preoccupied. And while the CARDS took it to the 'Cuse, they did so while celebrating the two month anniversary of the UofL Football team's victory against the Florida Gators in the Sugar Bowl. What a great way to celebrate. While the Football team is on one, this men's basketball team is on a collision course as well. Let's keep it rollin'. Go CARDS. Looks like I'm watching the replay of the Sugar Bowl tomorrow morning, as soon as I "Wake the Fu<k Up!" Go CARDS. Keep it rolling in March and beyond.

What do a highly skilled workforce, higher wages, decreased income inequality, stronger family-friendly communities and increased public safety have in common? All are associated with the presence of strong educational institutions.
Maryland's education system—from preschool to Ph.D. programs, both public and private—plays an important role in preserving the State's high quality of life.
Recognizing the importance of fostering excellence in education in Maryland, Governor Martin O'Malley has continued to invest in programs that support teachers, students, job training and academic research.
For example, despite overall budget cuts, the FY 2015 budget includes a record $6.05 billion in K-12 education, $4.3 million in pre-kindergarten opportunities and $275 million in school construction. The budget also includes an initiative to cap or freeze tuition increases at a number of public universities.
During the most recent legislative session, Governor O'Malley approved expanded pre-kindergarten services to 1,600 more children across Maryland and laid the groundwork for further expansion. In addition, the State invested $1.4 million for the Early College Innovation Fund to help create and expand early college access programs and $3.5 million for the Digital Learning Innovation Fund to help accelerate digital learning.

The Department of Education has finalized its "gainful employment" rule, which will ban for-profit schools like DeVry University or Apollo Group Inc.'s University of Phoenix from accessing federal financial aid dollars if too many of their graduates are unable to find jobs that pay enough to allow them to afford their student loan payments. If graduates owe too much relative to their income, or too few former students are paying back their tuition loans on time, schools stand to lose access to Pell grants and federal student aid. Such a loss would seriously crimp schools' ability to attract students."These new regulations will help ensure that students at these schools are getting what they pay for: Solid preparation for a good job," Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said Thursday. "We're giving career colleges every opportunity to reform themselves but we're not letting them off the hook, because too many vulnerable students are being hurt."Most students at career colleges and vocational schools pay tuition with federal financial aid dollars — as much as 90 percent of a school's revenue can come from government aid.via libn.com
For prospective students considering an online degree program, Federal rules will make it easier to choose a top school. Last week the Department of Education formulated new rules that could deny colleges public funding if they fail to fully disclose all the risks of obtaining a college degree.
The key provisions of the new rule are:
- At least 35% of former students are repaying their loans.
- The estimated annual loan payment of a typical graduate does not exceed 30% of his/her discretionary income.
- Or the estimated annual loan payment of a typical graduate does not exceed 12% of his/her total earnings
Both students and colleges will need to be better informed about the job prospects versus the tuition cost of certain degree programs. Besides investigating local markets for salaries, the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics website is a great resource for determining the viability, employment potential and wage expectations of just about every career.

TNA Hardcore Justice main event on SpikeTV – Tito Ortiz shocks the Wrestling World as he attacks Rampage Jackson and helps Bully Ray regain the World Title!
I'm always shocked when people over the age of 12 still are in to pro "wrestling".
How can people actually like this s***? Only in America… This s*** doesn't fly anywhere outside of 'Murica.
This is sooooo awesome. I guess Tito won round zero.
What I want to know is how will the California State Athletic Commission clear Rampage to fight after taking a hammer to the head like that?
Wow…………..They only thing missing is Bob Sapp
I'm honestly surprised that Bob Sapp never went into pro wrestling. I know he did some fake wrestling shows in Japan but…
Maybe WWE doesnt like his acting skills?
And people are supposed to take these 2 clowns seriously this fall at Belator PPV??

Historically black and proud | At Spelman, women's soccer pushes beyond expectation
The 2007 season concluded in similar fashion to the previous year. That is, Spelman (11-7-1 overall, 8-3-1 GSAC) defeated Agnes Scott (12-7-1, 8-3-1), 2–1, in the conference semifinals on Nov 2. Spelman lost the final 0–3 to Maryville the following day.
We attended the first meeting of the 2007 season on Sept 21, with the two sides concluding a hotly contested 110-minute derby match at 0–0. (Spelman defeated ASC 1–0, in overtime, in a second meeting on Oct 27.) Neither side could earn a breakthrough, although Spelman striker Tyra Weaver left-footed a goal in the 27th minute that was judged offside, and twice Spelman players missed close chances in the second 10-minute overtime.
"I hope that's a wake-up call that that went in," an Agnes Scott player yelled after the offside goal in a match that took place at Gellerstedt Field at Agnes Scott, although Spelman was the home team. Vandalism to the water system at Herndon Stadium in southeast Atlanta, where Spelman had played its games, brought about the shift in location.
Physical challenges were the order of the day. Three Agnes Scott players were injured; two had to be substituted. Agnes Scott coach Joe Bergin earned a caution in the second half for protesting one Spelman challenge. "That's terrible!" he yelled at the referee. "You can book me all you want!"
Division III women's soccer affords the opportunity to hear such dissent and encouragement from the sidelines. Also in the second half, a supporter yelled to Agnes Scott junior striker Ashley Schmidt, "Ashley, your tag's sticking out!" Schmidt checked the tag at the back of her shorts and shrugged.

In addition to writing her series of "zoo-dunits," author Ann Littlewood is passionate about the natural world. She hopes to inspire readers to care about environmental issues in her mystery novels, which realistically depict the life of a zookeeper; Littlewood herself spent 12 years as a zookeeper at the Oregon Zoo!
The latest "zoo-dunit" is called Endangered (and it's on sale today!). The third in the series, it's about zookeeper Iris Oakley, who gets a lot more than she bargained for when she shows up to help at a drug bust (presumably to take care of abandoned pets) . . .
Here, Littlewood tells us about how her goals as a writer include more than just selling books. She wants to encourage her readers to care about the natural world.
Passionate plotting
guest post by Ann Littlewood
My first zoo mysteries, Night Kill and Did Not Survive, showed how a small zoo operates from an animal keeper's perspective, based on my 12 years at Oregon Zoo. Worked into these "zoo-dunits" is the natural history of both exotic and native animals. I think this is fascinating stuff and I love sharing it. I admit to an ulterior motive—being intrigued by the natural world is the first step in caring for it.
Endangered, just published, also includes cool tidbits about animals, but ventures further into a major, if little-known, conservation issue—the world-wide devastation of tortoises for the dinner pot and for pets. Iris Oakley, zookeeper, sets out to rescue abandoned pets after a drug bust and instead finds smuggled tortoises, part of the enormous world trade in wild animals. It really pisses her off.
That's not all Endangered is about. You get a creepy farm in remote Washington State, a toxic and dangerous family, a mysterious girl (dead), mandrill monkeys, even buried treasure. Iris yearns to strike that blow for conservation, but first she has to keep her toddler safe and herself alive—not easy when a killer believes she knows more than she really does.
I'm gambling that incorporating my passions leads to a more vivid, engaging novel than one devoid of real issues. Many prominent mystery authors address class and race in their work. Others create sympathetic protagonists with mental illnesses or physical handicaps. Environmental issues should fit under this umbrella as well, right?
Entertaining or oppressive? A bold step or timid? Spurs readers to action or not? Or am I over-thinking this entirely? Take a look at Endangered and let me know.
Thank you, Ann! For more on Endangered, visit Ann's website.

Orders grounding the Air Force's F-22 Raptor stealth fighter spread from Virginia to Alaska this weekend, briefly sidelining up to half of the roughly 170 Raptors. It's becoming clearer by the day that the problems vexing America's premier stealth fighter are neither minor nor temporary.
The current lock-down echoes a fleet-wide grounding between May and September that was prompted by a suspected flaw in the $150-million-a-copy jet's onb0ard oxygen-generating system. Pilots had reported mid-flight blackouts and disorientation, possibly resulting from too much nitrogen in their air mix.
Despite an extensive investigation, the Air Force never found the flaw in the oxygen generator. The brass ordered an additional filter installed in the oxygen system, then sent the Raptors back into the air on Sept. 19. "We're managing the risks with our aircrews, and we're continuing to study the F-22's oxygen systems and collect data to improve its performance," said Gen. Norton Schwartz, the Air Force chief of staff.

My kids love getting the mail this time of year and then fighting over who gets to open the envelopes holding the Christmas cards. They smile while looking at pictures of friends they see all the time and some they have never met (yes, Mom and Dad's old friends have kids too). These cards are a wonderful reminder of all the friends and family in our lives. We tape them on the walls to enjoy them the entire holiday season.
So people all across the country pick out thier cards, address each one and drop them in the mail. Then what? Did you ever think about how the mail actually travels? Can you imagine having to hand deliver each one? Think about the incredible inefficiency of having to drive to the house or apartment of each family. Without the post office, you would have to deliver them yourself or use a high priced courier service to carry each card to their specific destination.
On a typical day, the US Post Office will handle around 700 million pieces of mail, but some days in December the volume can exceed 900 million. This can only be accomplished with a well designed system that continually improves over time.
Starting up an idea like Passenger Energy must be similar to establishing the first post office. Where do we begin? Just sharing one or two rides will not have a significant impact, but if a paid ride sharing system was created and improved over time then we would really have something. The potential efficiency of 250 million drivers sharing unused passenger capacity with millions of riders could solve many of today's problems.

One thing which has been alluded to briefly here on BusinessBlogConsulting.com in a couple previous posts is blog carnivals — a relatively untapped opportunity for blog marketing and link building.
It was fellow Business Blog Consulting contributor Toby Bloomberg who first turned me on to blog carnivals. For those who aren't aware of what a blog carnival is, it is a traveling column on a particular subject matter that is passed on from blog to blog, each blogger selecting a topic in that subject matter and including relevant resources accompanied by their own commentary about those resources. For example, there might be a blog carnival on nonprofit marketing and indeed there is. The members of the blog carnival rotate in and out, kind of like a column rotates. Here is an example post from a nonprofit marketing blog carnival.
Why should you care about blog carnivals? In short, because it's a great way to grow your link popularity and thus your search rankings, and because it'll also gain you visibility in the blogosphere amongst bloggers. This can be accomplished in two ways:
- First, by hosting a blog carnival, you garner links you wouldn't otherwise have garnered from the other blog carnival hosts as well as other bloggers who follow that blog carnival (assuming of course your posts are of some value!).
- Second, even if you don't join a blog carnival, you can submit your own posts to the current host for consideration in the next carnival post. For instance, in the example carnival post above on nonprofit marketing (which focused on "Creating and developing online communities through Web 2.0″), imagine if you had written a post on "How Nonprofits Can Use MySpace" and then gotten that post included in that week's edition of the carnival — and all it would have taken is reaching out to the host via email to get on their radar.
Check out BlogCarnival.com, a directory of blog carnivals, to see if a blog carnival already exists for your industry or topic of interest.

Dee Hoty and Liz Larsen Cast in World Premiere of Victoria Stewart's Rich Girl
By Andrew Gans
George Street Playhouse and artistic director David Saint have announced casting for the fourth production of the New Brunswick theatre's season, the world premiere of Victoria Stewart's Rich Girl.
Produced in association with the Cleveland Play House, the upcoming production will be helmed by Cleveland artistic director Michael Bloom. Previews will begin in New Jersey March 12 with an official opening March 15. Performances continue through April 7.
The cast will comprise Broadway favorites Dee Hoty and Liz Larsen as well as Crystal Finn and Tony Roach.
"For the first time in her life, Claudine has toppled head-over-heels in love," according to press notes. "But her celebrity financial guru mother has obvious misgivings about her daughter's amorous entanglements with Henry -- an artist with rugged good looks, just enough charisma and a negative bank balance. But does money matter when happiness is on the line?"
Creating the world of Rich Girl will be scenic designer Wilson Chin, lighting designer Matthew Richards, costume designer Jennifer Caprio and sound designer Jill BC DuBoff.
Individual tickets, beginning at $28, are currently on sale, as are three-play subscriptions and flexible admission packages. For further information or to make a purchase, call (732) 246-7717, or visit the Playhouse website, www.GSPonline.org. George Street Playhouse is located at 9 Livingston Avenue.

The Score: "This [Bourne Legacy] Adventure Comes Close To Matching The Level Of Dramatic Tension Throughout The Trilogy That Preceded It"
Friday, Aug 10, 2012 6:05PM
|Watch Trailer
|Screen Rant
|Very Aware
|Chicago Tribune
|Buffalo News
If action-packed fun and adventure is what you need to get the weekend started off right, then the latest edition to the Bourne series, The Bourne Legacy, is guaranteed to hit the spot.
The latest Bourne flick gives long-time fans a bit of a surprise with the absence of its main protagonist, Hollywood actor Matt Damon.
Fans of the Jason Bourne series have been skeptical about the prospect of The Bourne Legacy ever since the project was first announced back in 2010. While franchise leading man Matt Damon, who played the titular hero in the first three movies, was originally attached for a fourth film (to be directed by Paul Greengrass), the pair later dropped out of the project, and instead, Jeremy Renner (Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and The Avengers ) as well as Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum writer, Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton), were tasked with bringing an entirely new Bourne universe character to the big screen. (Screen Rant)
Although Damon's on-screen presence is missed, movie veteran Jeremy Renner still comes through and delivers.
When we first meet Aaron Cross (Renner), like Bourne, a government-trained super-spy and assassin, he's in survivalist mode, retrieving a capsule of some sort from the bottom of an Alaskan lake in nothing but his underwear. Minutes later, he's fending off wolves, Liam Neeson-style, before trekking back to an outpost where he hopes to stock up on the super-advanced meds (called "chems" here) that keep him at peak conditioning physically and mentally. We soon learn that Cross is part of another, super-secret government program, Outcome (Bourne was part of Treadstone/Blackbriar, as we're reminded multiple times during THE BOURNE LEGACY by suit-and-tie government bureaucrats). Without a regular intake of chems (blue and green pills), Cross will lose the physical and mental edge that apparently makes him a top field agent. (Very Aware)
Bourne fans are treated with a few notable cameos from stars of the first three films.
Some choice espionage scowlers from the previous "Bourne" films sidle into frame for brief cameos, among them Joan Allen, Albert Finney, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn. New on board: Edward Norton, as the ambivalent program overseer, and Stacy Keach as an authority figure who's seen it all and doesn't want anybody to see or question anything. (Chicago Tribune)
Despite action and adventure, some critics noted multiple weaknesses in the new flick.
Still, until the unnecessarily extended and farfetched climax on the crowded streets of Manila - and if we can erase the memory of a laughably unconvincing moment of derring-do on the back of a motorcycle featuring Oscar winner Rachel Weisz - this adventure comes close to matching the level of dramatic tension throughout the trilogy that preceded it. That's to some degree the fault of the somewhat underdeveloped screenplay, to some degree because the film stops rather than ends, and to some degree because while Renner is a perfectly acceptable and believable leading man, his level of magnetism falls a tad short of that of Matt Damon. (CBS Local)
According to Ty Burr of The Boston Globe , the movie's exciting moments are not enough to compensate for the failure of the ending. "A new-model government super-assassin (Louis Ozawa Changchien ) is abruptly introduced to chase down the heroes, and the film suddenly turns into 'Terminator 2 .' [Ed] Norton's character drops down the rabbit hole, Joan Allen and David Strathairn from the earlier movies suddenly reappear, and 'The Bourne Legacy' folds its hand with a limp romantic fade-out and a cheesy pop song," Burr wrote. (Barrow Patch)

Since the Leafs have no 1st rounder this year at this point (perhaps once they will after the trade deadline), I'd assume they would be active again via the College Free Agent route. But I haven't heard a thing about any player .. so are there any good ones out there this year that rival Hanson, Bozak and Gilroy?
Maybe the Olympics are taking everyone's focus away, so we won't hear much until after the trade deadline, but just wondering if there is any buzz out there.

Newly unsealed warrants related to the case of James DiMaggio's kidnapping of Hannah Anderson state that on the day he murdered her mother and brother, the pair exchanged 13 phone calls, reports CBS 8 reporter Shannon Handy.
Here is the excerpt regarding the calls; again this is all part of preliminary investigation @News8 @CBS8 pic.twitter.com/kT9dhr7NT9
— Shannon Handy (@ShannonCBS8) August 14, 2013
The docs also state that authorities believe DiMaggio tortured Christina Anderson and her son (Hannah's younger brother) Ethan prior to murdering them. According to the warrants there may also be another player in this saga:
#BREAKING: Warrants: Authorities feared DiMaggio's sister was helping him. @cbs8
— Barbara Richards (@sdbrichards) August 14, 2013
But the warrants are eager to stress that Hannah is a victim:
Detectives say in the warrants: Hannah was KIDNAPPED and they were concerned about where she was; no specifics on those calls @CBS8 @News8
— Shannon Handy (@ShannonCBS8) August 14, 2013
These documents have been unsealed on the same day that the details of a preliminary autopsy has been performed on James DiMaggio, reports San Diego Union Tribune. According to the autopsy, DiMaggio was shot once in the head, once in the leg, once in the arm and at least twice in the chest.

Loved his place, not too fussy or over pretentious (Goucho's anyone) just great Steak and lovely waitresses (mine was a real treasure used he right level of chat without being over friendly).
No the cheapest place in London but you get what you pay for and my meal was well worth it (around 40 pounds for 3 courses and wine).
Will definitely be going back if only to see my waitress again, Yasmin I think I may be a bit in love with you. Joking aside the steaks really are great quality and cooked just right, we had the chateaubriand between the two of us and I can honestly say I haven't enjoyed steak hat much in a very long time, if ever.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Dr. Mark Schecker of Coastal Carolina Allergy and Asthma in Myrtle Beach says it's that time of year where folks are coming back into the allergist because of Mother Nature, and this year could be a longer season.
Schecker blames it on several warm days in January. March marks the beginning of tree pollination, which will likely peak in the next few weeks, but it will be followed by grass and other plants pollinating.
Schecker says pollen you see on the ground or on your vehicles is pine pollen, and it typically doesn't cause problems, but it gets all the blame. Oak, maple and elm trees typically provoke the sinuses because it's microscopic and constantly floats in the air.
Symptoms include stuffy nose, watery eyes, cough and sometimes sore throat. Schecker says the sooner you act, the quicker you'll see relief.
"Ultimately, for the worst sufferers, or for people who don't like to take medication all the time, there are allergy shots or vaccines which actually treat the underlying problem," says Schecker. "In fact, it's the only thing that deals with the underlying problem, all the others just deal with systems."

WARREN - For the seventh year in a row, the city received a Healthy Ohio Community Award. This year, Warren is one of only two communities statewide to receive the platinum level honor.
Mel Milliron, health educator at the Trumbull County Health Department, said this is the second year in a row that Warren received a platinum award.
"Warren and Westerville were the only two to receive platinum awards this year," he said.
In prior years, the city has received gold awards and one year a silver award.
More than 20 communities received Healthy Ohio Community Awards for promoting good health.
Fourteen cities, two townships, one village and four counties were among those recently honored for promoting good health for their residents by the Ohio Department of Health's Bureau of Healthy Ohio.
Mayor Doug Franklin said the city exemplifies Healthy Ohio and the state of living well.
"Warren is a model for what all Ohio communities can be for their residents and visitors," he said.
ODH presented the awards in October to 21 communities at the Ohio Society for Public Health Education Health Educators' Institute conference at the Salt Fork State Park Resort and Conference Center in Cambridge.
Healthy Ohio-Healthy Community awards recognize communities' outstanding achievements in developing and implementing health-related policies, and providing healthy community environments. The award recognizes communities' efforts in enabling employees, residents and visitors to make healthy choices including participating in physical activity, eating good, nutritious foods and avoiding tobacco.
Milliron said as a platinum award recipient Warren and Westerville have both achieved five or more gold stars since the start of the Healthy Ohio-Healthy Community awards began in 2006.
"This award really reflects a deliberate effort to make our city more healthy through park improvements, bike trail enhancements, tennis court improvements, resurfaced city parks used by thousands of walkers and adding of volleyball courts," Franklin said.
He said the city worked in partnerships with schools and other groups to earn the accomplishment.
"This award reflects that deliberate effort to make our city friendly in terms of recreation and what we offer," Franklin said.
Milliron said collaboration is essential for the award. He said there was also an extension of sidewalks and the establishing of community gardens with Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership.
"For our presentation we spoke about how the key to everything is collaboration," Milliron said noting the city's new bike trail, new gardens and the downtown farmers' market.
"There is always something new happening in Warren for making the city healthier and safer," he said.
Milliron said in concert with the award requirements, Warren has a tobacco-free policy, sidewalks with curb cuts for handicapped people and sidewalks to get people to different places in the city.

His 350 total combined yards in the 1971 AFC playoff game against the Miami Dolphins is still an NFL post season record. That performance was rated as the 7th best individual performance in the first 75 years of the NFL. Thirty-five years after his retirement, Ed's name is still in the Top 5 in over 15 of the Chiefs offensive records. Podolak was inducted into the Chiefs Hall of Honor in 1989.

Bryan partners with Classical Conversations
September 23, 2011
Bryan College has entered into a partnership with Classical Conversations, a nationwide homeschool support organization, to offer students college credit for work that augments their high school courses.
Michael Sapienza, Bryan's vice president for enrollment management, said the partnership "is a natural extension of our mission. It's an opportunity to find like-minded students who potentially will look at Bryan to begin their college experience."
Classical Conversations
calls its relationship
with Bryan College
"Classical Conversations
In the Classical Conversations model, homeschool students meet in a group with a tutor once a week. In the high school context, students complete assignments given by the tutor, then for college do additional work as assigned by the college instructor through an online "electronic classroom."
Bryan Academic Vice President Bradford Sample is teaching the U.S. History I dual enrollment class for Classical Conversations students. He explained that the high school and college curricula have been aligned so students read the same section of their text for both classes at the same time. "They have components I'll never see—for example, homework and quizzes—but they must do things I assign that students not in the dual enrollment class don't have to do," Dr. Sample said.
"I'm very impressed by the Classical Conversations students," Dr. Sample said. "They structure their essays well, they have a good grasp of the material, and have the ability to communicate well."
Mr. Bortins said the relationship with Bryan has been a positive development for his organization. "Our students get college credit from an accredited college. More important, in discussions with Dr. Sample and other faculty members, we realized the professors there are people we would want our children learning from, professors who share our outlook for Christian education. This gives reassurance to parents or someone looking into homeschooling that we are offering a quality program."
This semester the college is offering only U.S. History I, and plans to offer U.S. History II in the spring. "Our goal is to review all their junior and senior courses to see what we can supplement and offer for college credit," Mr. Sapienza said.

Bumped from the diaries. The point about Davis yelling at KD is very interesting given all the speculation of Dorrell "losing" his players following the game. -N GO BRUINS.
Because he absolutely forgot mine. Saturday was probably the most frustrating birthday in my short life. I woke up Sunday morning sick to my stomach (Yes I admit part hangover) But, it was more a feeling of "How in the hell did we lose this game?"
Being a Sophomore, I have only seen a few losses in person. ('06 WSU, '06 Men's volleyball against $UC, @Utah, ND) They all hurt. However, with football I feel like its a disgrace. After traveling to Utah, and watching us not show up, I felt cheated out of my money. It was unbearable walking out of the stadium in Den shirts while the Utah fans would joke, "Champions Made Here. Ya right. Champions made on the field in Utah." I had no energy to argue with them. But the fact is we have 100 championships and football is still a joke. Its also hard to argue walking out of the stadium after losing to an 0-5 team. That is not the way I wanted to spend my birthday.
In Utah, we sat next to a player's parents. I felt terrible for them as we watched the game, knowing that their son was wasting his talent playing for a joke of a coach. Working with the basketball program over the summer, I realized that the players have a genuine respect for Howland and the rest of the coaching staff.
I love Bruce Davis. Yes he may run his mouth too much at times (or all the time), but I feel terrible for him. Their was a point on Saturday where he was yelling at KD. I'm not sure what about but I think we can all get an idea. I feel terrible for our defense. Yes they have given up lots of yards this season to crappy teams. It also doesn't help that they are on the field pretty much the whole game because our offense is crap. They do talk a lot which at times I think is stupid. I do, however, like their fire. To see Davis walking the sidelines yelling at the defense, trying to get them fired up, is what I like in a player. No one on the offense seems to want to step up.
You can't blame BT for this game. He is in way over his head. But as a coach there are ways to instill confidence into your players. KD did not let him throw a pass in the Washington game. He even let his HB throw a pass. What does that say to BT? "I trust my non-QB's arm more than yours sorry" Why not bring in BT at the end of the Utah game and let him throw?
As for the rest of the season: I will still attend games. I will still support this team. However, they all need to keep their mouth shut. Let your play on the field do the talking. We had a basketball player in my high school team that liked to run his mouth. The point is we sucked. Let your play do the talking and the rest with follow.
Thank you KD. I will never forget my 19th birthday.
