Nine games. Only one game of them un-televised. Pretty good ratio.
Next Game
Northern Illinois Huskies @ Army Black Knights
Saturday, Sep 15, 2012, 12:00 PM EDT
Blaik Field at Michie Stadium
TV: CBS Sports Network
Army's lone game this year was a painful 42-7 loss at San Diego State. They can move the ball on the ground with the triple option, and always have been able to I guess since 1776. And Trent Steelman is still their quarterback and top QB name in the land. But that's just darn about all they were able to accomplish, and if NIU can just do the zone read stuff they pull off so well, they ought to have this one in hand. NIU looked good against Iowa, they looked just OK against UT-Martin, considering ... now its time to take it to a well-disciplined defense.
Next Game
Eastern Michigan Eagles @ Purdue Boilermakers
Saturday, Sep 15, 2012, 12:00 PM EDT
Ross-Ade Stadium
TV: Big Ten Network
Two weeks ago this looked winnable; a game to vault EMU into a new level of MACdom. We are very far removed from that possibility. Sure, with Purdue's starting quarterback injured that helps the cause, but Eastern just has too many issues with execution and offensive play-calling to make this one very winnable. The Eagles defense needs to get their act together as well or this one might turn ugly quick. An improvement would be yet another 10-point loss, but with a shot to win in the fourth.
Next Game
Western Michigan Broncos @ Minnesota Golden Gophers
Saturday, Sep 15, 2012, 12:00 PM EDT
TCF Bank Stadium
TV: Big Ten Network
These two played three games in the 70s and that was it. They were outscored a combined 69-10 and shut out twice. This will not stand, nor will they be shut out again, because no matter what type of incantation former NIU man Jerry Kill might be pulling up in curling country, the Gophers are not at a point where they're an automatic win against a MAC team. Consider Minnesota's MAC games in the last five years:
2011: W Miami 29-23
2010: L Northern Illinois 34-23
2009: W Northern Illinois 31-27
2009: W @ Bowling Green 42-17
2008: L Bowling Green 32-31 (one of my FAVORITE games of all time)
2007: W Miami 41-35
Essentially one sure win, and two losses. No, this is not all Kill's fault, and he was brought in to fix this stuff. Maybe they pull away, but you always know WMU is good for the occasional suicide run at an AQ-conference team. We didn't see it at Illinois. We might see it here.
Next Game
UMass Minutemen @ Michigan Wolverines
Saturday, Sep 15, 2012, 3:30 PM EDT
Michigan Stadium
TV: Big Ten Network
I can't even tell you how Michigan almost lost to them in 2010, by the narrow 42-37. So we know that much of this UM offense is familiar with the defense, and the main difference is that the Minutemen are still trying to figure stuff out offensively, having scored just six points all season, but one thing to consider: they scored 0 against UConn then six at Indiana. If this trend continues, they'll finish with 12 in The Big House, then hang 66 on their Week 12 opponent. It's a process.
Next Game
Saturday, Sep 15, 2012, 3:30 PM EDT
InfoCision Stadium - Summa Field
Having seen what Morgan State was able to allow against Buffalo, Akron ought to take care of business here. Probably. Two weeks in it's a circle of unknowns. If FIU is good, then Akron had a great game, and if Buffalo is good, then perhaps Morgan State is decent at their level so maybe this is a competitive game for a while. We'll just have to see. Is that vague enough for you?
Next Game
Miami (Ohio) RedHawks @ Boise St. Broncos
Saturday, Sep 15, 2012, 4:00 PM EDT
Bronco Stadium/Lyle Smith Field
TV: NBC Sports Network
Man, Boise State's been waiting long for this. After that opening week loss to Michigan State, they've been sitting patiently in Idaho, which is no small feat. I've been to Idaho. Nice people but man the air is dry as hell. It makes you appreciate 100 percent humidity when some locations get zero percent. Anyway, in football terms the way Miami can gauge themselves is to see how long they can stick with the Broncos, and I give them maybe midway through the second quarter before the taste runs sour. Nick Harwell may not be 100 percent in this game, which is a drag if that's true, but I can't see him being held out of a game like this.
Next Game
Ohio Bobcats @ Marshall Thundering Herd
Saturday, Sep 15, 2012, 6:30 PM EDT
Joan C. Edwards Stadium
TV: None ($9.95 to watch on HerdZone)
No, it's not on TV. And you want to know why? Blame Marshall, our former MAC brethren:
@markebrownstein Marshall's decision. Conference USA doesn't have a deal with ESPN and Marshall doesn't have to share it if they don't want— Jeremy Guy (@JGuyMAC) September 11, 2012
I've never thought it was a great idea for a team to keep their video close to the vest and make end-users pay for internet video. But people will fork it over because they want to see this Bobcats team. Of course, they could make the two-hour drive to Huntington just as easily and get a much better picture quality.
It's a shame that Marshall departed for C-USA, and it seems almost certain that their life was better with us, but being so close to OHIO it's good to see they still play each other when they can.
Next Game
Bowling Green Falcons @ Toledo Rockets
Saturday, Sep 15, 2012, 7:00 PM EDT
Glass Bowl
Corn mazes notwithstanding, I am trying really hard to get fired up for this game which is happening in freaking week three. September is a weird time for a rivalry. I know that Kentucky and Louisville played theirs on the first week, and a Sunday at that. In recent years BG and UT squared off on the last week of November to seem like an OSU-Michigan thing, but the problem is that UT-BG fans were also OSU-Michigan fans, and how can you do two football games in one week?
Last year the game was in October which was still weird to this generation but historically this is month is when the game was traditionally held. The earlier this game ever had been predates the MAC: October 3, 1919. Tradition is difficult to nail down sometimes. They're hard to start and difficult to understand them before you were born. Sometimes they just change and that's the end of it. The constant is that, look, these two teams are playing each other and the Toledo metro-area may not have a terrific sports identity, but if they have anything, it's this game. So let's just enjoy it.
Oh, and it ought to be a good game too.
Next Game
Ball St. Cardinals @ Indiana Hoosiers
Saturday, Sep 15, 2012, 8:00 PM EDT
Memorial Stadium
TV: Big Ten Network
A true underdog story. The plucky upstart Indiana Hoosiers have not had much success, but they're looking good this year. They're 2-0, but granted they played an FCS school and UMass. They'll face a big test against Ball State, the gallant favorite which has bested them twice in the last four years. Indiana over Ball State would be a big win for the IU program and certainly give some much-needed attention to the underrated Big Ten Leaders Division. What a quaint name!

There is perhaps no entry in the Batman comics canon more beloved or influential than Frank Miller's "Batman: Year One." As the title suggests, the story takes place shortly after the death of Bruce Wayne's parents and tracks the young crimefighter's first steps into becoming the masked superhero. Darren Aronofsky famously tried to crack the nut of getting a feature film version off the ground to no avail, but the folks over at Warnes Bros. Animation -- who have ben doing a steady run of solid feature films based on DC Comics' properties -- are getting set to release their take on the tale.
Set to hit stores next month, a clip from the film has been revealed. There is no doubt that the talent behind this thing is top shelf. Bryan Cranston, Ben McKenzie, Eliza Dushku, Katee Sackhoff and Alex Rocco are all lined up for the voice roles, with Lauren Montgomery ("Green Lantern: First Flight") and Sam Liu ("The Batman") co-directing the film that we've been told will adhere closely to Miller's source material. So perhaps it's just an off day, but man, this clip totally reminds us of the excellent "Ice to see you" McBain moment from "The Simpsons." The standard superhero-interrupting-a-dinner-with-baddies is kind of played out, but we will say the tone of the scene is pretty spot on and yeah, Ben McKenzie does a good imitation of Christian Bale's growly voice.
"Batman: Year One" hits Blu-ray, DVD, VOD and digital outlets on October 18th. Check out the scene below and the McBain moment for kicks. [ComingSoon]
Jasper McLaughlin | September 22, 2011 7:16 AM
McKenzie is ridiculously miscast. I know we can't have Conroy in the role at every turn but c'mon WB - the dude from the OC? Seriously?
Also, on the subject of doing a dead-on imitation of the Bale voice - that's one of the only flaws with the Nolan films. Actors shouldn't be forcing it, they should either have enough range in their voice to pull it off naturally. Some may disagree, all well and good, but Bale just doesn't do it convincingly.
Gabe Toro | September 22, 2011 3:29 AM
Yeah, this looks like an exact blueprint of the comic so far, word for word, shot for shot. Unfortunately, tone, voice delivery and mood is all off.
Lincoln | September 22, 2011 3:26 AM
@Una The line is directly from the Year One comic, but the voice acting of all the diners is just atrocious.
jimmiescoffee | September 21, 2011 12:31 PM
post empire world? is that a joke or a failed attempt to channel bret easton ellis?
either way, the clip is bad for real. hah

POULTNEY, Vt., - Vermont State Police have arrested a man in connection to the death of a two-year-old.
According to authorities, on February 19 around 6:20 p.m., authorities responded to a call about an injured child that had been brought to the Rutland Regional Medical Center emergency room. Hospital staff informed police, as required by law, that the child exhibited signs of head trauma. The child was taken to intensive care at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center to receive further treatment.
On February 21, the child, Dezirae Sheldon, died. An autopsy revealed the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head and it was considered a homicide.
Following an investigation into the case, authorities arrested Dennis Duby, 31, on Saturday. Police say Duby is the step-father of the child and has been charged with 2nd degree murder.
Duby was sent to Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility for lack of $250,000 bail. He is expected to be arraigned on his charge on Monday.

Earlier this month a federal judge ruled that the FDA must make the emergency contraceptive available to all women within 30 days.
That means by May 5, just as easy as you can buy aspirin or cough syrup, your 11, 12, 13-year-old daughter could walk into any pharmacy and get it without a prescription or permission.
At college campuses around the country there's no shortage of parties and events. Where there are people you can find parties and they aren't always about networking.
"A lot of people go to parties, do stuff, regret it after," said one UT student. "Round up brought a lot of problems for girls…you are under the influence you make bad decisions."
Those bad decisions can often include unprotected sex. The party-night fun can lead to a morning-after pill run.
Terry Weaver, the Chief Pharmacist at Forty Acres pharmacy on UT campus says with so many college students having no plan like birth control pills or condoms, there is a constant demand for Plan B. In fact they keep it right by the register.
"Yeah we average about four a day but there are days sales are higher. Typically Mondays are higher," Weaver said.
But the chief pharmacist says he makes sure they never run out or run low.
"There's been some anecdotal that there's Monday after a football game, maybe we will have more sales. I can't say that I've seen that to be proven true," Weaver said.
The trends are becoming so obvious its prompted a University Texas intern to study the matter. He is now comparing the spike in sales in Plan B to event and party calendars and not just at UT but in colleges all around the country.
"I thought it would be interesting to look at the sales data and find out whether or not it was true," said student pharmacist intern Richard Sabel.
Sabel says there is good reason to believe there is a clear pattern.
"I don't have any hard numbers to say. But they do see spikes we don't know if they correlate to campus events or big events like Valentine 's Day," Sabel said.
Obgyn Dr. Marco Uribe says the trend concerns him.
"Well it's a concern. If they are selling out every weekend because obviously my feeling is we need to educate people in the college environment much better about doing preventative measures than reactive measures," said Dr. Uribe.
But he makes it clear the morning-after pill is not an abortion pill.
"It's very important to clarify it is not considered an abrogative agent," said Dr. Uribe.
The Austin Texas Obgyn says it typically takes about five days for the sperm and egg to fertilize and implant. He says Plan B just delays the process.
"What it does is it prevents ovulation or delays ovulation or releasing the egg from the ovary and it changes the lining of the uterus to prevent the sperm from migrating up to meet the egg," said Dr. Uribe.
It must be taken within 72 hours of the unprotected sex to be 90 percent effective.
Dr. Uribe says there are no known long-term effects, he said, "nobody really knows that. It makes physiologic sense that if you are doing it repeatedly it just off that whole hormonal state."
So how much is too much?
"So there isn't a magic number of how much is too much but obviously we prefer someone isn't using it every weekend or more than a few times throughout the year," he said.
Bottom line is If you skip plan a Dr. Uribe stresses you might need more than Plan B.
"I know a lot of friends talk about how they use it. Sometimes it works for them sometimes it doesn't work for them. I know some people who are pregnant because it didn't work for them," said one student.
The Department of Justice is reviewing the judge's decision to lift the age limit. No word on an appeal.

Town Square
Making Palo Alto attractive to tourists
Original post made by Diana Diamond on Oct 10, 2007
City council members want Palo Alto to become a tourist destination. But other than standing there and saying, "You al' come," not much is being done. (Granted, the city has a www.destinationPaloAlto.com web site, but I don't usually carry a laptop around when I am being a tourist.)
Why are tourists attracted to places? For one thing, lovely downtowns. Think Carmel or Sausalito or Kennebunkport ME. Second, a nice mix of stores, including restaurants. (Our University Avenue is doing pretty well in that category.) Third, a tourist-friendly feel directional signs, public restrooms, sufficient parking space and brochures listing stores by categories.
Palo Alto's downtown is looking ragged around the edges, and needs a bit of beautification and a lot more signage.
I recently came back from the Northeast, and I was impressed with what some of the small towns were doing to showcase themselves.
Woodstock, VT was a lovely tourist spot (see photo). A nice collection of apparel shops, art galleries, restaurants with hand-written menus on chalk boards, and most of all, pots of blooming chrysanthemums decking their downtown. In front of every store was a planter box, nine inches wide, filled with blooming chrysanthemums in shades of red, gold, yellow and white. Pots of chrysanthemums sat atop the railings of a small bridge crossing a creek that ran through the downtown.
I was told the village provided the flower planters and that the local garden club plants the flowers and maintains them. A nice partnership.
In Lake Placid NY, there were two pots of chrysanthemums hanging over each and every parking meter. People were smelling the flowers before putting in their quarters for an hour's worth of parking. Sugar maples in brilliant yellows, oranges and flaming reds lined the city streets.
Another town had small banners hanging from lampposts dark green backgrounds with gold letters proclaiming, "Welcome to our town." Classy.
We visited Hanover, NH, home of Dartmouth College, and five miles away were signs directing us to the downtown and the college. The closer we got, the more signs we saw. We reached the center without a single wrong turn.
How many signs are there in Palo Alto directing people to Stanford University? The university has some on their property along Sand Hill Road. But entering from the east, the only sign is on 101 at the Embarcadero Road exit. Once on Embarcadero, there's nary a sign pointing to the university nor are there any along El Camino except at University Avenue.
If we want to increase the number of tourists to our fair city, let's try to do more to make sure they can get here and that their stay here an attractive one.
on Oct 10, 2007 at 3:04 pm
Much as I love to disagree with Diana, she's got this one right. Frankly, I think the entire region could use better signage.
on Oct 10, 2007 at 9:07 pm
Ah, this brings to mind one of my first trips to Palo Alto. I was supposed to go to Stanford, and was told it was on El Camino. To make a long story short, I drove here, there, and everywhere, and ended up taking El Camino all the way to San Jose. I know I'm not so unusual judging by how many people stop in Greenacres, headed South, wondering how to get to Stanford.
I think one thing that would help would be to decide what kind of tourist we are aiming for. Are we interested in art lovers like those who go to Mendocino (probably not)? I think we should consider what kind of tourism would also make Palo Alto a nicer place for the people who live here. How about this? Why don't we put some money into making a regional writers research library that is the envy of California....
on Oct 10, 2007 at 10:29 pm
I agree with your article, and having recently returned from the East Coast, I saw what you are talking about. In fact, some people in those Northern cities rely heavily on their short tourist season as their primary income for the entire year.
There are pro's and con's. They love the money from tourists, but residents without businesses hate the tourists and the traffic.
Are you running this story because the City and some members running for council are considering building large hotels here, or is this just coincidental?
I am not an expert, but this is what I have learned from going to a few of the informal meetings held for candidates running for City Council...
Some members running for City Council would like to build large new expensive hotels in Palo Alto because they hope to collect more tax.
The new hotels would be allowed to build above and beyond the allowed zoning ordinances. This is frightening, considering that we are running out of space here.
One member anticipated collecting $30 a night from a $300 hotel room.
There are less expensive places to stay nearby, and our out of town guests always stay there. The hotel I am thinking of also happens to be very family and pet friendly. It is not a tall mammoth size building either.
There may be parcel tax exemptions on new hotel buildings. I am not certain of the laws. If anyone reading this knows exactly what the laws are, please post them and correct me.
I learned this from going to several of the candidates informal meetings.
If hotels are a priority, I think it would nice if the city extended some of these special privileges to existing hotels which may need some incentive to spruce themselves up. Since they are already taking up precious land space, why not?
We are running out of space here, and our residents need this space for our own amenities, supermarkets, a possible new police station.
I would like to save any remaining parcels of land left in Palo Alto for at least one new supermarket meets the needs of all our community members. These markets do sell taxable items too.
People are getting tired of wasting gas and time driving to Mountain View and Menlo Park for groceries.
The senior citizens who live in Palo Alto that have limited driving permits are legally unable to drive to outlying cities.
I see that there is now a thread on hotels. . . hmm.
I think I will add a portion of this post over there.

FROM the outside, DukeBox Bailey seems a tangle of contradictions – a hip-hop artist weened on country music, a carer and disability support worker who can deliver a seriously savage message in song.
But in person, the Inverell musician is a complex, considered artist, his public persona drawn from a mass of competing forces and interests.
His performance cred is certainly not in question; spotlights shared with heavyweights Jessica Mauboy, Warren H Williams, Dan Sultan, Christine Anu, and the legend Archie Roach.
He has also featured on SBS's Living Black, and regularly finds his way to the turntable on tripleJ.
His style is so unique, he has even found a place in the line-up of the famous Woodford Folk Festival.
Born Duke Wayne Bailey in Ayr, Queensland in 1989, the Birri-Gubba/Tanna Islander man was adopted by his grandparents when he was a month old and grew up in Inverell.
His relationship with music began when he was a child and he wrote his first song at age eight.
"I've loved music my whole life and I was brought up on country music. A lot of storytelling in country music really fascinated me, so that was my first influence of really loving storytelling through song," he said.
"I didn't get into hip- hop though until I was in high school.
"I was really inspired by Tupak Shakur. I heard one of his songs, Changes, and that changed everything for me, really.
"It was just so real. He was just telling it how it was on the street.
"The music, the beat, I hadn't heard anything like that before. It was all new to me, and it was just really moving."
He's just finished a new CD, Big Kitty Life, set for delivery soon.
Two years in the making, it follows his well-heeled debut EP What's In The Box.
Big Kitty Life is a self-professed collection of many musical styles including jazz, funk, electronic and straight-up hip-hop meshed with his vision told through rap.
He said choosing hip- hop as his direction was challenging.
Putting a toe in the regional waters as a hip-hop artist meant growing a thick skin.
"Around here you kind of have to. If you get into rap, you're an outcast here," he said.
"I've been trying to nail it on the head for years, because I've been playing at shows here for a long time"
He said the New England had a country, covers and pub music tradition, and making a dent in history was tough.
In Inverell, Duke is a direct care worker with youth in Pathways out-of-home care and has been a teacher's aide at Inverell High and a disability support worker.
"Sometimes I think I'm a voice for the unheard. I'm inspired by the people that I meet, stories that I hear," he said.

ODU Observed Moment of Silence Today
Message from the President:
The events at Virginia Tech remain so clearly etched in our minds that it is hard to believe that an entire year has passed. Yet, today will mark that passage of time.
The Governor, Tim Kaine, invited us all to join him in marking the occasion with solemnity and silence. He asked us to pause for a moment of silence at noon. In turn, I asked that you interrupt your teaching, your lunch, your conversation to join all members of the Old Dominion University community in respectful memory of our colleagues and fellow students who lost their lives in Blacksburg twelve months ago.
We are each shaped by the tragedies and celebrations of our individual lives and, as citizens of this great nation, we are moved together by extraordinary events, sharing the pain of loss and the joy of victory. Today is one such day. Let us remember together those who lost their lives and those who were personally affected by this violent tragedy. Let us dedicate this bond of memory which we share to making the world better, safer, and more compassionate.
Sincerely yours,
Roseann Runte

Michigan Clearly The Best: Helmets FTW
Clearly, rivals has decided to give Michigan their due for having the best helmets on the face of the planet. If you haven't done so, check out The Helmet Project at http://www.nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/ It's a pretty cool project, done thanks to some exhaustive research. I will no longer listen to Dienhart or Hueguenin, because let's face it, they don't know overwhelming greatness when they see it.

Two of the central images of the wedding poem in the Old Testament that is called the Song of Songs or the Song of Solomon are a pomegranate and wheat. These images are accompanied by a great deal of other imagery in the poem that is either red, like a pomegranate, gold in color, like wheat, or white. Among those other things mentioned in the Song of Songs that are red are the kermes dyes called crimson and scarlet, Tyrian purple dye, henna, cedarwood, roses, cinnamon, red wine, pomegranate juice, and the dawn. Saffron dye, gold, topaz, yellow crocuses, yellow apples, dates, honey, honeycomb, and the sun are golden. Undyed linen, ivory, marble, silver, henna blossoms, milk, and the moon are white. The images of pomegranate and wheat that are included in this webpage here are from a webpage that I am in the course of designing with the help of Naomi Parkhurst and Stephen Sample.
A pomegranate is symbolic of the heroine of the Song of Songs, whose hair is a dark red compared to the dark red of crimson and Tyrian purple dyes ("Your head on you is like crimson, and the hair of your head like Tyrian purple"). A pomegranate was also symbolic of maidenhood and was given to brides as part of the wedding ceremony in ancient times.
Wheat is symbolic of the hero of the Song of Songs, whose hair is blond ("His head is gold, pure gold; his locks are date-floss. Black like the raven are his eyes..."). Wheat was also symbolic of fertility, and was one of the things thrown at the bride and groom in Israel and other countries in the same region in ancient times. The other things that were thrown at bride and groom during weddings in the region were dried fruit and nuts. The custom of throwing grain or dried fruit and nuts lingers on in the custom of throwing rice after Christian weddings as the bride and groom leave the church, and the custom of throwing dried fruit and nuts or candy at the groom or both bride and groom during the "ufruf"; a short ceremony that takes place during services at the synagogue shortly before a Jewish wedding.

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - The Albany church internationally known for its Christian films is about to unveil plans for its next movie. Sherwood Baptist Church will announce the movie title and theme to their congregation November 15th.
Because of the success of "Facing the Giants" and "Fireproof" that announcement is turning into a major media event.
Fireproof Sherwood Baptist's third movie, "Fireproof" grossed more than $33 million in theaters since its September 2008 release, and sold two point 7 million DVD's. Their book "The Love Dare" that came from the movie plot has been on the New York Time's bestseller list for 52 weeks, and sold more than three million copies.
So what's next is big news. More than 60 media outlets will be there in ten days when the Kendrick brothers announce their next venture. And they are not worried, just because they are still writing the script.
Associate Minister Alex Kendrick said, "Lord willing we will shoot next year. But again a lot has to fall into place. We're not saying anything is in stone. We're still in stages of prayer."
The brothers spent three months expanding their best seller "The Love Dare" to a new 365 days devotional for couples. That will be released December 1st, and has already pre-sold 200,000 copies.
Associate Minister Stephen Kendrick said, "We believe that God was leading us to make this movie and to write this book, and we are also praying he can do more than we can ask or imagine. That's exactly what he's done. He's done that with all three movies."
The first Love Dare book has also become a top iPhone app by AT&T, and the Kendrick brothers admit they are amazed by the different media spreading their message for God.
"Alex and I don't even have iPhones, but it's funny with all the apps out there, we got word "The Love Dare" was the number one app on Apple. That it hit number one, so that was a shock to us," Stephen Kendrick said.
Alex and Stephen Kendrick receive thousands of e-mails from around the world because of their movies and book, people telling them that their work has touched their spiritual lives. They and the Church are going to continue, and they say they are not concerned about whether the fourth movie will build on the Church's remarkable success. They say it's all in God's hands.
"He's not sitting on the throne saying I don't know what to do. It's another opportunity to trust him. To walk closer to him," Alex Kendrick said.
So far that faith has led their movie ministry to some truly remarkable film success.
The Kendrick brothers started making movies to find new methods to reach people with the word of God besides just preaching in a pulpit. They've been so successful that media from around the world will be here soon to find out about their next project. The church set up a website in preparation for the big announcement.

Wanna make $10,000? Send us your awesome tape! Read the rules below
Round up some friends around the dorms, make sure they are the hottest girls and party guys. See if you all have the balls to win 10k.
Ok so we know you guys aren't professionals. Actually, the more amateur the better. But don't be a douche and use a bad camera where everything is out of focus or if it's too dark. Use your phone or some kind of flip camera. HD is pretty standard these days on most cameras, so don't worry about the settings so much as the hot ass you're filming.
Anyone showing up in your video needs to sign a 2257 document saying they are older than 18. This is super important, because without it we can't use your totally kick ass video and pay you $10,000. After everyone signs, you gotta take a scan of everyone's drivers license. Make sure everyone signs a copy of the 2257 and does a scan of their license.
Don't be an idiot. Anyone in your video must be 18. Why they hell you hanging out with anyone under 18 anyway??
As much as we care that you went to so and so university, they don't give a shit. So don't flash us your logo the whole time or talk about it. We're just going to have to blur it out anyway. Don't make us work harder than we want to ;)
Don't send us your 24 second blowjob clip. If we wanted that, we'd watch our own. Make sure the video is at least 30 minutes long so we have something to work with. Doesn't have to be one long scene, but 30 mins worth of footage
Any other questions? Hit us up at email@example.com
We'll let you know when you win!

A number of Consortia representing various sectors of industry.
Manufacturers or importers into the EU of high tonnage substances (≥1000 tonnes/year) and/or hazardous chemicals (i.e. CMRs produced at ≥ 1 tonne/yr, or those considered very dangerous to the environment and produced at ≥ 100 tonnes/year) were required under the REACH Regulation to submit a substantial dossier of information on their substances by the end of November 2010. The required dossier includes (amongst other substance-related information) detailed data relating to exposure, physico-chemical properties, environmental fate and behaviour, and (eco)toxicology.
To support consortia with all aspects of their 2010 REACH registration obligations, from project management responsibilities to development and submission of the full technical dossiers required for successful registration.
Bibra helped a number of Consortia with their REACH submissions for the 2010 deadline in a timely and cost-efficient manner. We were involved in all aspects of the registration process including identification of relevant information, data mining, assessment of the reliability and quality of the published and unpublished dataset, extensive data-gap analyses, preparation of (Robust) Study Summaries and associated endpoint summaries, advising on appropriate Integrated Testing Strategies using data waiving, read-across and weight-of-evidence approaches where considered scientifically justifiable, completeness checks, classification and labeling, preparation of CSRs (including calculation of DN(M)ELs, PNECs, related RCRs, and PBT/vPvB assessments) for a number of industrial chemicals, including several substances of very high concern (SVHC). In addition, a client came to us with an urgent request in late October 2010 as their current consultants could not provide the level of assistance that had been promised. We improved and completed the IUCLID files, redrafted the CSR, and submitted the dossier back to the client within just 3 weeks, to enable them to register their substance by late November.
For every substance registration in which bibra scientists were involved, technical dossiers were successfully submitted to ECHA prior to the 30 November 2010 deadline. Positive feedback and repeat business from these clients since the 2010 REACH deadline underlines the level of satisfaction with the work we do for our clients.

Glendale Community College (GCC) has been offering field classes in the Baja California peninsula of Mexico since 1974. The program aims to expose students to a pristine and complex natural environment coupled with a unique experience in Mexican culture.
Glendale Community College's Field Station (Estación del Mar Cortés) is in the town of Bahía de los Angeles (about 400 miles from the San Diego border), located on the Gulf coast of the Baja California Peninsula.
The Gulf of California is one of the most unique environments in the planet and the islands within it have been called the "Galapagos of Mexico"! The bay itself is in an area of great biodiversity known as the Midriff Islands. The area around Bahía de los Angeles and its islands is protected under Mexican law, and the college visits the islands with the permission of the regional office of SEMARNAT, Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources. This area is now a UNESCO-designated world heritage site due to its unique cultural and natural significance. It is in these islands and the surrounding bay where we do our field activities.
Bahía de los Angeles is famous among scientists, educators and fishermen because of its natural beauty and the incredible diversity of life, which provides great opportunities to learn about the natural environment.
The Field Station - Estación del Mar Cortés (EMC):
Home base to all the Program's class offerings, EMC is a facility located in the growing fishing village of Bahía de los Angeles on the shores of the Sea of Cortes. Glendale Community College has just completed the construction of a new field station!
Bahia Google Earth ViewClick on image for larger map view
The new field station includes two classrooms and dorms, a living room and kitchen, showers and restrooms, a garage/equipment room, and a staff building. Participants help with daily cleaning and food preparation chores under the supervision of station staff and a cook. Students sleep on comfortable canvas cots placed either inside the field station or outside on the sandy beach, next to the water and under the stars. From the station porches, you will have an unparalleled view of the many islands in the bay. Glorious sunrises will softly awaken you.
We invite other academic institutions to consider offering their own programs/courses or to join Glendale Community College on a joint program. CCIE member Colleges will receive a reduction of the use fee and Glendale Community College will share its knowledge of logistics and academics gained through more than 35 years of teaching at the "Estación del Mar Cortés".

The #Titans plan to release safety Jordan Babineaux today, according to sources familiar with the situation.— Jim Wyatt (@jwyattsports) March 12, 2013
In a widely expected move, the Titans have released S Jordan Babineaux today. The recent George Wilson signing made Babineaux not long for this roster. It's a shame that he didn't work out for the Titans during his short stay in Nashville. It seemed like his reputation preceded him at times with his off and on play. I hope he catches on elsewhere to further his career. Best of luck to him.
As for the Titans, with the George Wilson signing, I don't think they'll be targeting a top tier free agent safety in the first couple of days of free agency. I do think they'll address the position at some point when the second tier players come available or during the draft. The safety class this year is loaded with talent with the likes of Matt Elam, Baccari Rambo, Eric Reid, and John Cyprien out of Florida International. The wild card currently on the roster is Markelle Martin, who missed all of last year rehabbing a knee injury suffered in the postseason draft process.

It may seem like a tough time to teach your kids about saving and investing money, but some lawmakers believe it's actually the perfect time. So along with math, science and history, kids at Jerome D. Mack Middle School will also be taking finance 101. They'll learn how to save, budget, and use credit cards.
But to make it fun for kids, Clark County teachers are using an unusual tool. They're playing soccer, and because it's like a video game, the kids love it.
Throughout the game, students answer questions about the difference between needs and wants or how to use a credit card wisely. The game was introduced at a Las Vegas school as part of a new bill that requires students to learn about money management before graduating high school.
It's called Financial Soccer. Secretary of State Ross Miller and Superintendent Walt Rulffes teamed up to show kids how the game works. It's pretty simple -- in order to make your way down the field and score a goal, you have to answer questions.
Seventh grader Daniel Zapata says he's learned about things he's never even thought about, like overdraft fees and spending wisely. "You saving money can get you better stuff than just spending all in one place," he said.
Zapata and his classmates started the game in their seats but by the end most of them were on their feet.
"There is no curriculm on earth that's going to give the kids this experience," said teacher Dwane Martinson.
Lawmakers hope the experience helps them understand they can become doctors or lawyers but without an understanding of how to manage money, you can still end up in the financial mess many people are in today. "Basic financial literacy is something that has been neglected for some time. I think that was recognized by the last legislative session when they passed the bill mandating it be taught it our schools," said Secretary Miller.
Miller says even at a time when teachers are being asked to do more with less, he hopes they'll help our future Americans avoid the bad loans, depreciated saving accounts, and credit card debt many of their parents are stuck in today.

Is anyone interested in joining the disney movie club? You pay $1 to sign up, you get 4 disney movies for 25 cent each and shipping is free. You just have to agree to buy 5 dvd's from the website within 2 years.
I got the girls 4 movies... tangled, handy manny, toy story 2 and tinkerbell!
You also get discounts on movies if you get their featured titles, which they'll send you in the mail asking if you want to accept it or decline it.
If you want to sign up, PM me so that I can put in your info (I need your first and last name and your email address) and they'll send you an e-mail to the link to sign up.
I bet it would be cheaper to buy them at Walmart.
Quoting Layla's Momma ♥:" I bet it would be cheaper to buy them at Walmart."
It's $19 for a movie at regular price and then like 20 something for the blu-ray... isn't that what it cost at Walmart? Except at Walmart you don't get the four dvd's for a dollar or discounts for being a disney club member, haha.
I signed up for it when Lin was small, they sent me bills every month for $20-30 for a movie.
Quoting Aria Montgomery ♥:" I signed up for it when Lin was small, they sent me bills every month for $20-30 for a movie. "
Really? I've been signed up for a month, they haven't billed me yet. They probably billed you because you didn't reply to the featured title. If you don't decline it, they'll send it to you and bill you for it.

Fairfield Halls break sales record for festive period
Updated 10:06am Monday 6th January 2014 in News By Andrew Bloss, Reporter
Croydon's main theatre Fairfield Halls has smashed its previous sales record for the festive period.
The theatre had a number of sell-out shows during December and the New Year, including their ever-popular pantomime, which became its most successful panto ever in terms of revenue on Thursday night.
This year the theatre put on an adaptation of Peter Pan, starring Eastenders baddie Steve McFadden.
And despite not finishing until Sunday, chief executive of the theatre Simon Thomsett said the show is 21 per cent up on last year, which was also a record breaking year.
As well as the pantomime, the theatre has seen comedian Miranda Hart perform four sell-out shows, X Factor finalist Rough Copy perform a homecoming gig and a sell-out Christmas concert by conductor John Rutter and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
It has meant the theatre has seen a bumper footfall over the Christmas period, with an estimated 70,000 going through the theatre's doors.
Mr Thomsett said: "It has been a really successful pantomime season this year. It is a great show put on by Evolution Productions and they have tailored it to our audience.
"It is a custom-built show and we are looking forward to doing Snow White with them for Christmas 2014.
"December has been excellent. Miranda Hart was brilliant as it was almost a secret gig as she was doing a lot of new material.
"Comedian Sean Lock sold-out, John Rutter sold-out and Rough Copy as well."
He added: "We are working really hard to keep ticket prices down so we can attract as many people as possible. To see Miranda Hart for £20 is a real bargain.
"Then with things like Rough Copy and Hannah Barrett, it is great as two thirds of the audience were from Croydon so it was great to have such a large local audience celebrating Croydon talent.
"It was a great end to the year."

3.5 inches ? Not so fast.
In his blog, Dustin Curtis explained why Apple continues with 3.5 inch iPhones while Android and Windows phones all have larger screens.
His discovery: because one-handed use of 3.5 inch phone allows user to "touch any area of the screen while holding the phone in one hand, with your thumb."
I totally agree with him that all these large screen Android phones are difficult to use single-handedly. But I would like to uncover a hidden assumption in such a view, which I believe is also the view of Apple's (or rather, Steve Jobs'). Maybe by doing this will point us to a new kind of mobile OS, or UI design.
The point of a touchscreen is that it is not just a display (visual output) interface, but also an input (touch input) interface. Purely from the visual perspective, user will want a screen as large as possible, so that more information can be displayed without being cramped.
Now, it seems to be the common view (and Dustin's view) that a larger screen means it is more difficult to operate single-handedly, in general. This sounds reasonable - holding the phone with one hand and try to reach an icon on the opposite side of the screen using your thumb is not possible without awkwardly adjusting your hand position (for 5" and above it seems downright impossible, or extremely difficult).
However, there is a hidden assumption to this view:
Why make the UI such that your finger need to be at the location of an icon in order to touch it?
One can, for example, create a small half-opaque area (which can be a semicircle shape) that can pop in and out from the edge of the screen, which serves as a "virtual trackpad" for the entire screen. When the thumb moves around the "trackpad", there is a small highlighted circle moving correspondingly around the entire screen of the device. Tapping your thumb twice at a certain location of the "trackpad" means pressing the corresponding location of the touchscreen.
This allows the entire screen to be accessible by your thumb while holding the device single-handedly.
I can also imagine the default function of this trackpad to be customizable according to when it is being activated, so that it has other advantages such as:
1. When activating this trackpad inside a web browser, a list of miniaturised tab thumbnails appeared around the edge of the trackpad so that user can go to (and close) any tabs quickly. So now the tab list on top of the screen is unnecessary, and we can always surf webpages at full screen mode.
2. In general, activating this trackpad in any app also brings out a list of running apps, so that user can easily open (and close) any running apps.
3. Activating the trackpad in pictures will call up an analog zoom icon, so that by using one thumb we can easily zoom in and out.
I would like to add that this "virtual trackpad" is purely optional, so that anyone can use their phone with OR without it, by turning it on or off. The location of the "trackpad" is also movable, along the edge of the screen, or on both right and left sides of the screen.
The lesson?
Whether a device is usable by one hand not only depends on its size, but also on its UI (or OS). As another example, Windows' metro-like tiles are more usable single-handedly than android because of its large tiles, and that its text-like icons are arranged in rows.
(Of course, portability will also matter if a screen size gets too large. But my discussion here targets at devices from 4" to 5+", which are still pocketable)

Affirmative Action gives a chance to unprivileged minors that are surrounded by bad influences a hope for a better education by getting into a college. "There's not much for me in a public school. The truth is that's a pretty honest answer. A diploma from a ghetto high school doesn't count for much in the United States today," stated by a young high school student (Kozol 4). This is the motive for many minors in a bad high school and around many bad influences. In this type of situation, this is where affirmative action comes in. Affirmative action has been a debatable topic for about 40 years if colleges should continue to proceed with it or not. Those opposed to affirmative action believe that it is racist and undermining the achievements of other who deserve to be accepted into the college. However, I believe that students who grow up in a bad environment and have a numerous amounts of problems, should be given an opportunity in life, ones that they have never had before.
With minors going to poor schools, they deal with awful conditions. For instance in an Illinois high school, "Martin Luther King Junior High School was evacuated Friday afternoon after sewage flowed into the kitchen…the kitchen was closed and students were sent home…The school had to be closed because of fumes and backed up toilets." (Kozol 2). How can a student thrive in such an unsanitary environment? They definitely go through different things as to what other schools go through. These are the disadvantages that minors go through, so a little boost from affirmative action would definitely help their future.
One thing a lot of minorities have are unsupportive parents. They don't have parents supporting them with daily life needs. For example when a high school student minority states, "I am still accepting that I have an abusive parent. I have decided to detach from the family because of my mother" (Calvin 1). Moreover, they do not have that moral support that every single child need. Because they have possible unsupportive, abusive, drugged up parents, they have to work and support themselves. This is a big amount of weighing responsibility. Responsibility that's not meant for a high school students, at least not at that great amount.
On the opposing side of affirmative action there are several beliefs. One of them being that it is not fair to accept someone with a lower grade point average over someone with a high grade point average. Alongside that it also causes segregation. First of all, the difference between the high grade point average student and the lower grade point average minority student is that the minority did not have the same lifestyle conditions as the other. The minority had to handle good grades, being at a poor school, and other additional family problems. The truth is the minorities had to deal with way more things than the other student with a high grade point average. As far as segregation, if anything affirmative action helps stop it because it is helping someone who didn't have a quality education but were hardworking. It creates a better diversity and equality on the campus.
Along with all of minor's struggles, overall just dealing with it all and maintaining and average grade is a big thing to consider. Imagine working when having unsupportive parents, and dealing with all kinds of bad influences, and unsupportive parents. When people opposing affirmative action believe that they deserve getting accepted over someone else because they have a greater grade point average, they have to look at the other facts too. Minorities deal with all kinds of problems, and the people with greater point averages didn't. Affirmative action just gives these people a boost from that they needed because of all the disadvantages that they had.

Greetings, BHGP Commentariat - I am looking for suggestions as to locations near downtown Chicago to catch the Iowa-CMU game tomorrow morning. I will be stuck downtown all morning due to a meeting early on, and then my regular work shift that afternoon, which leaves less time than would be worth it to go home to the 'burbs and back. (Those trains aren't going to move themselves, after all...)
Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Train schedule changed due to schools closing
THE Jamaica Railway Corporation (JRC) says its schedule for the commuter train service between Spanish Town and Linstead will change, starting today, in response to the school summer break.
The evening service will see the train departing Spanish Town at 6:30 pm and arriving in Bog Walk at 6:48 pm. Departing Bog Walk at 6:50 pm, it will arrive in Linstead at 7:00 pm from where it will depart at 7:05 pm, arriving at Charlemont at 7:13 pm.
The 6:45 train left Charlemont and arrived in Linstead at 6:53 this morning. It then departed Linstead at 6:58 and arrived in Bog Walk at 7:08 am. The final leg saw it leaving Bog Walk at 7:10 am and arriving in Spanish Town at 7:30 am.
"The changes have been brought about by the fact that schools, which provide a portion of the JRC's commuter revenues, are now on holidays," the JRC said.

"The nonprofit SF Tape Music Center was founded in 1962 to offer a space for electronic improv. Its present-day incarnation, the SF Tape Music Collective, continues the center's mission by using updated technology to present concerts featuring audio diffused through a sound space. This year's Tape Music Festival gives listeners three evenings of opportunities to be enveloped by a sound experience. Renowned experimental composers conduct original compositions, as audiences sit in complete darkness, surrounded by more than a dozen speakers. If you thought IMAX was epic, just wait 'til you take the visuals out of the experience."
This year features a special evening devoted to the works of Bernard Parmegiani. A former student of Pierre Schaeffer, Parmegiani (b. 1927, Paris, France) is one of the most well known and influential composers of acousmatic tape music. For the festival's Sunday concert, we will present a retrospective of his works spanning the years 1967 to 2004. The concert concludes with his magnum opus, De Natura Sonorum.

Federal Bonding
Hawaii Info
A research study published by a university in Texas surveyed employer attitudes toward hiring exoffenders. Only 12% said that they were willing to hire these applicants. However, 51% said that they would hire ex-offenders if they were bonded.
What the Federal Bonding Program Is
It is a federal tool, to help a job applicant, obtain employment, and keep it. The program issues Fidelity Bonds, and is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor.
What a Fidelity Bond Is:
Fidelity Bond, through the federal bonding program, is a business insurance policy, that will protect the employer from theft, or property damage, from a dishonest employee. It is a "guarantee," that the new employer, will be an honest worker. The Fidelity Bonds issued under the Federal Bonding Program are insurance policies of the Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America. The McLaughlin Company in Washington, DC, is the agent for Travelers in managing the program nation wide.
This Bond Can Help You Get Employed:
If you are an ex-offender (Felony, Misdemeanor), or you have a high risk factor, in your background, this bond is given freely, to the employer, as an incentive to hire you. The employer can then hire you, and utilize your skills, without taking a risk, of you being dishonest, while working there.
What The Bond Insurance Covers:
The bond insures the employer, in case of embezzlement, larceny, forgery, or theft. It does not cover job injuries, or poor workmanship.
How To Get Federally Bonded:
You must receive a job offer first, and the employer has to have a date for you to start working for them. The Fidelity Bond insurance policy will then be issued to the employer, from The Mclaughlin Company, of Washington, DC, underwritten through the Travelers Insurance Company.
While your local workforce representative, usually informs employers, there are still many that don't know of the federal bonding program. Make sure to inform the employer about this federal proram.
Bond Coverage Amount:
The bond covers $ 5,000, with no cost to you, or the employer, and no deductible. Employers can apply for larger bond amounts, if necessary.

What is the Work Opportunity Tax Credit?
The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (W.O.T.C.) is a federal tax credit for for-profit employers to be used as an incentive for employers to hire
individuals convicted of a felony and hired within one year after the date of the conviction or release from prison.
The tax credit has eight targeted groups:
TANF recipients, veterans,
, high risk youth, summer youth, Food Stamp recipients, SSI recipients, and vocational rehabilitation referrals.
How much can the employer earn:
WOTC can be as much as $ 2,400. It is based on qualified wages paid to the new hire for the first-year of employment. Generally, qualified wages are capped at $ 6,000 The credit is 25% of qualified first-year wages for those employed at least 120 hours and 40% for those employed 400 hours or more.
The reason employers should use this opportunity:
Employers make the hiring decision.
There is no limit to the number of new hires who can qualify the employer for the tax savings.
There is minimal paperwork needed to claim the WOTC.

The two-lane roundabout at Jeanne d'Arc and St. Joseph Blvd. opened last week, and the Business Improvement Association (BIA) and the city say it is working fine.
(Photo by Tricia Van der Grient)
"The opening went really well and it's so far so good," said Anita MacDonald, executive director of the Heart of Orléans BIA.
She added that in an informal traffic count conducted this week by former BIA chair Peter Stewart, they saw traffic flow is the same as in an official report from over a year ago. They also say the waiting time for cars to pass through the intersection has diminished from about 90 seconds with a traffic light to 30 with the new roundabout.
"I think the more people get used to it they'll realize it's faster, easier and safer than the intersection was with traffic lights. (…) We haven't received any complaints so far from residents."
Traffic lights were removed and the roundabout opened to one lane on Nov. 16. Once construction was completed it opened to two lanes on Nov. 24.
The BIA had been working on the project for about four years. When the proposal was adopted in February, three east-end councillors voted against the roundabout.
This week Innes ward councillor Rainer Bloess said that while there is still a transition with drivers getting used to entering and exiting the intersection, he is "pleasantly surprised how quickly folks are adapting and how well the traffic is flowing."
"In fact, during the non-peak periods, we have seen no delays and no back ups, and drivers who would normally have to wait at red lights are able to glide along," he added.
When the Orléans Star spoke with residents the day of the opening, some were in favour of the change, while others said they would avoid using it completely.
The roundabout is part of a series of streetscape initiatives to improve the aesthetics of St. Joseph Blvd, including the addition of landscaping and outdoor furniture at two other intersections (St. Joseph and Orléans boulevards and St. Joseph and Place d'Orléans Drive.) MacDonald says the additional streetscaping will begin in the spring.
The total cost of the project is about $2.5 million, and is paid for by federal and provincial infrastructure funds.

Welcome from the President-RectorRev. Mark A. Latcovich, Ph.D.
Saint Mary Seminary and Graduate School of Theology opens its doors for the 165th time as we begin the 2013—2014 academic year. The tradition and legacy of this institution inspires all of us who teach and study here. On June 19th I celebrated liturgy with the family of the Very Reverend Anthony J. TePas on the 100th anniversary of his death. Fr. TePas was ordained a priest in 1880 and assigned to Saint Mary Seminary where he taught philosophy, dogma, and music for over 26 years. In his later years he served as rector from 1909 until 1913. It's people like Fr TePas who have played a significant role in our seminary's legacy. However, the seminarians, religious, lay students and faculty are currently shaping that tradition as well. A dedicated faculty opens the rich theological tradition of the Church to students preparing for ministry. All who study here are called to master with excellence that theological tradition so that they will be able to communicate with and evangelize the culture.
As I begin this new academic year as President-Rector, I am proud to invite all of you to continue in the tradition and become a part of that legacy. Pope Francis illustrated the best way for all of us to continue in the legacy we have received in his words spoken in 2007. "Apostolic courage is disseminating the Word. Giving it to that man and woman for whom it was bestowed. Giving them the beauty of the gospel, the amazement of the encounter with Jesus and leaving it to the Holy Spirit to do the rest."
May that same Spirit enlighten us to hear the Word through our studies and in our community.
Rev. Mark A. Latcovich, Ph.D.
