Gophers Win 4th Big Ten Game In A Row, Top Penn State 24-10
David Cobb carried 27 times for 139 yards and a touchdown, and Minnesota held Penn State scoreless over the final 33-plus minutes to grind out a 24-10 victory on Saturday, the fourth in a row for the Golden Gophers.
5-Star DeLaSalle Recruit Reid Travis Chooses To Attend Stanford
One of Minnesota's three sterling five-star recruits is leaving his home state to play college basketball at Stanford. DeLaSalle's Reid Travis' top two finalists were the Gophers and the Cardinal and he decided at Friday's press conference at his high school to head west.
Minnesota's Rolling, Favored To Beat Penn State
How's this for a paradigm shift in Big Ten football? Minnesota has won straight three conference games and is favored, ever so slightly, to beat Penn State.
Pitino, Gophers Arrive At Season Opener Vs. Lehigh
Minnesota coach Richard Pitino is on the verge of his first game with the Gophers. They host Lehigh on Friday night in the season opener. Pitino said before the team's practice on Thursday afternoon that he's nervous before every game, so this will be no different.
Gophers Flirting With A Special Season
There are smiles on the faces of Gopher football players – that's what happens when you win. The U of M is on a three-game Big Ten win streak, something the program hasn't done for years.
Collins, Pitino Bring Common Threads To New Job
Given their bloodlines and new jobs, Minnesota's Richard Pitino and Northwestern's Chris Collins have quite a bit in common. Both are in their 30s. They're the sons of well-known coaches, and they already seem to have a bond heading into their first season in the Big Ten.

Gophers Vs. Northwestern: Tracy Claeys' Chance To Lead U
The Gopher football team takes on Northwestern on Saturday searching for Minnesota's first Big Ten win.

All-session ticket packages go on sale Monday for the inaugural Big Ten Men's Ice Hockey Tournament. The tournament will be held March 20-22, 2014, at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.
Iowa Breezes By Minnesota 23-7
Jake Rudock threw for one touchdown and ran for another and Iowa beat Minnesota on both sides of the ball in a 23-7 victory on Saturday. Mark Weisman rushed for 147 yards on 24 carries, and Mike Meyer made three of his four field goal attempts to help the Hawkeyes (4-1, 1-0) start the Big Ten with a bang. After losing their opener to Northern Illinois, they've outscored their last two opponents 82-10. Senior linebackers Christian Kirksey, James Morris and Anthony Hitchens led a stifling effort on defense, including interceptions by Kirksey and Morris of Minnesota quarterback Philip Nelson. Nelson hadn't played in two weeks because of an injury, but he started ahead of Mitch Leidner for the Gophers (4-1, 0-1).
Gophers Give No Guarantees To Injured Players
When Philip Nelson's right hamstring strain forced him out of the game, Minnesota turned to redshirt freshman Mitch Leidner at quarterback. Leidner started for the Gophers last week, too, rushed for 151 yards and four touchdowns and tops the depth chart going into the Big Ten opener Saturday against Iowa. Nelson, the sophomore who took over at midseason last year, has no guarantees of getting the job back.

Gophers coach Jerry Kill returned to the sideline a week after missing the second half because of an epileptic seizure and made it through the game without incident.

Here's how I went about doing it:
- I found a whole skein of yellow yarn lying around.
- I set the skein against one wall of my apartment and pulled the yarn out to the farthest place I could go in our apartment which was about 30 feet away. I left the end down there and had my little one step on it to hold it down.
- I went back to the skein and cut the yarn off and then pulled out a new one and ran down to the other wall again. I then went back to the skein and cut it off. I did this over and over until the whole skein was gone! (Ok, it kinda took awhile...)
- I tied off one end of all the yarn pieces to hold them all together and tied that to a door knob.
- I spread the yarn into 3 even sections and started braiding up at the top by the door knob. (If I'd left it un-braided it would have been a severely tangled mess in a matter of minutes!) It was so long that after awhile I had to clip off the braided section and go to the other end and UN-braid the stuff that had gotten all tangled. I made sure to keep the 3 sections of yarn separate though.
- Once I finally made it to the bottom I left some un-braided so my little gal could "comb" it and tied it off just above that.
Notice in the top picture all the hair things stuck in it? You can have a lot of fun putting all sorts of hair doo-dahs in it- or even make a much shorter version of this and hang it in the bathroom to store hair things on.
Here's what I would do differently:
- DON'T make it so long! It was really hard to braid it when it was that long and it took me at least an hour to braid it- if not longer. As long as it still goes clear to the floor most little kids would think they were just like Rapunzel!
- Don't make it so thin. This one isn't such a big deal but I think it would look nicer if instead of all that length I'd done it half as long and twice as thick!

For the past 50 years, the Census Bureau has conducted experiments and evaluations with every decennial census involving field data collection during which alternatives to current census processes are assessed for a subset of the population. An "evaluation" is usually a post hoc analysis of data collected as part of the decennial census processing to determine whether individual steps in the census operated as expected. The 2010 Program for Evaluations and Experiments, known as CPEX, has enormous potential to reduce costs and increase effectiveness of the 2020 census by reducing the initial list of potential research topics from 52 to 6. The panel identified three priority experiments for inclusion in the 2010 census to assist 2020 census planning: (1) an experiment on the use of the Internet for data collection; (2) an experiment on the use of administrative records for various census purposes; and (3) an experiment (or set of experiments) on features of the census questionnaire. They also came up with 11 recommendations to improve efficiency and quality of data collection including allowing use of the Internet for data submission and including one or more alternate questionnaire experiments to examine things such as the representation of race and ethnicity.

Gering, NE (AP) - A judge has set bail at $500,000 for a 16-year-old inmate charged with aiding and abetting in the strangulation of a Scotts Bluff County jail guard.
Scottsbluff radio station KNEB reports that Guy Eagle Elk, of Lisco, is charge as an adult in the case. He would have to pay $50,000, or 10 percent of the bail, to be released from jail.
Investigators say 15-year-old Dylan Cardeilhac lured 24-year-old Amanda Baker into his cell on Feb. 14, then choked her before taking her keys in an attempt to escape. Police say Eagle Elk advised Cardeilhac on how to choke the guard.
Cardeilhac, of Torrington, Wyo., has been charged as an adult with first-degree murder.

Taco Vortech Air Separators
Taco's family of air elimination products delivers the most complete and effective means of air removal on the market. The enhanced level of the Taco VorTech Air Separator eliminates the damaging effects and irritating noise caused by unwanted system air. Available in a variety of sizes, they require no minimum run of pipe and have a convenient 1⁄2" NPT tapping for easy installation of an expansion tank.
How it works:
Inside the Taco VorTech Air Separator is a primary air separation chamber, where the process of air elimination starts. The unique tangential shape of the primary chamber creates a swirling effect, similar to a vortex or a tornado. This effect forms a low pressure area in the center of the chamber, towards which the air is drawn to. From there it moves freely upward and is eliminated through the pre-installed Taco 3/4" Hy-Vent.


text: I think Mike Mularkey sucks as an offensive coordinator. In the past two games we saw a completely different Falcons offense. Why? Only after playing like crap in the first half, will they let Matt Ryan run the offense. In both games he took over the second half. The Falcons would have beaten the Bucs if Roddy White would have caught a wide open third down pass which was dropped. Roddy White and Julio Jones both gain 100 yards in the second half. They are holding back Matt Ryan and this Falcons offense. He is more than capable of calling plays and running this offense, such in the manner of Brees, Manning, and Brady. Not saying he is on their level, but can run the falcons offense. UNCAGE THE BEAST.

Fennel-Stuffed Twice-Baked Potatoes Recipe
In my opinion, nothing is as versatile as the potato. I recently decided to try cooking with fennel and wanted to combine the flavor in a great baked potato. The cheese, fennel, garlic and pine nuts lend this appealing side dish delicious Italian flair. —Pam Ivbuls, Omaha, Nebraska
- 6 large baking potatoes
- 2 large fennel bulbs, cored and coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup 1% milk
- 6 ounces farmer or fontina cheese, shredded
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- Paprika
- Scrub and pierce potatoes. Bake at 375° for 1 hour or until tender.
- Meanwhile, saute fennel in oil until crisp-tender. Add sugar and salt. Cook and stir for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low; cook 10 minutes longer, stirring frequently. Add garlic; cook and stir for 5 minutes or until fennel is golden brown. Remove from the heat; set aside.
- Cool potatoes for 5 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut a thin slice off the top of each potato and discard. Scoop out the pulp, leaving thin shells.
- In a large bowl, mash pulp with butter. Stir in the milk, cheese, sour cream and fennel mixture. Spoon into potato shells. Place on a baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20-35 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with paprika. Yield: 6 servings.

T-Mobile's $30/month pre-paid and Nexus 5
Once the Nexus 5 comes out I plan on switching to that and T-Mobile's 100 minutes, unlimited text and 5 GB of 4G data plan that runs $30/month. For those of you guys who run this already: do you guys get the full 42 Mbps speed? after 5GB does it fall to 3G like other pre-paid plans or is it just that then you're out? Ease of purchasing the plan and getting on it?

THE VIC MORGAN COLUMN: Here's why we're all addicted to football
5:30am Thursday 13th February 2014 in Sport
WHY do we love football so much?
At about 3.50pm last Saturday afternoon I wasn't fond of it at all.
The Town were 2-0 down at Vale Park and quite frankly I would have rather have been in front of my Devon log fire.
All the talk at the break was of how could Swindon be trailing after dominating a game so much?
So settling down under the shelter of the away end, thank goodness, we hoped for better fortune in the second half.
Well we got it didn't we?
Nile Ranger's header, Alex Pritchard's free kick and Nathan Byrne's poaching, got the Reds the deserved win.
It's times like this when we know why we're addicted to this sport.
Just under 300 Town fans in full voice, sounding like 3,000, watching their team beat Vale and the elements on a filthy Potteries afternoon.
Dr Desmond Morris, a native of Purton and of the TV programme 'Zoo Time' fame for those of us of a certain age, wrote a book called "The Soccer Tribe".
He oddly preferred a team from along the A420 but in his book writes about the gathering together of groups of fans in a way which goes back to the ways of our ancestors.
The feeling of being as one when in a group.
That's how it felt last weekend. People gathered together who generally don't know each other but share the common love of Swindon Town Football Club.
It wasn't a cup final, but it was a great afternoon at the "Wembley of the North".
I write this as the wind and the rain once again batters my window.
The dreadful floods that are afflicting our country right now of course put sport in to perspective.
However thank goodness for last Saturday and days like that.
They're why we love football.

It was also strange that a lot of those hardy faithful were men of a certain age. Probably all part of our mid to late life crises!
But it was good wasn't it.

Twelve unbeaten teams and all six defending state champions are in the 192-team field as the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) state football playoffs get underway Friday (Nov. 8). All games are scheduled for 7 p.m.
Hoover (10-0), Spanish Fort (10-0) and Madison Academy (10-0), the 2012 Class 6A, 5A and 3A state champions, respectively, are among the dozen teams that emerged though the rugged regular season with unblemished records.
Hoover, the only unbeaten team in Class 6A this season, currently owns a 25-game winning streak, with the Bucs' last loss coming in the 2011 Super 6 finals to Prattville 35-34.
Spanish Fort owns a 19-game win streak, with the last setback a 31-21 decision to St. Paul's in the 2012 regular season.
Madison Academy is riding a 20-game win streak dating back to 2012. Its last loss was to Class 5A Cullman 42-21 in the regular season.
In addition to the Bucs, Toros and Mustangs, other unbeaten teams include:
Class 1A: Maplesville (10-0) and Pickens County (10-0); Class 2A: Lanett (9-0); Class 3A: Dale County (10-0), T.R. Miller (10-0), and Saks (10-0); Class 4A: Charles Henderson (10-0); and Class 5A: Jackson (10-0) and Southside-Gadsden (10-0).
Other defending state champions in the field are Class 1A Brantley (8-2), Class 2A Tanner (8-1) and Class 4A UMS-Wright (8-2).
Ninety-six games are set for Friday with 16 in each of the AHSAA's six classification. The 48thannual state playoffs began with four teams competing for one state championship in what was then Class 4A in 1966.
Championship play for all schools was implemented the following year in 1967 with four divisions. The current six-class system began in 1984.
Second-round playoff games are scheduled for Friday, Nov. 15, followed by the quarterfinals Nov. 22, semifinals Nov. 29, and the Super 6 state finals Dec. 5-6 at Bryant-Denny Stadium on the campus of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

Dangling at the end of your rope isn't the kind of thing that makes for much fun.

We took our grandson Seth to the Reagan Library yesterday. He was fascinated with the 1/100-scale model of the White House. The docent was explaining to us that all of the rooms had been updated with replicas of the furniture, carpets and wall coverings that President and Mrs. Obama had made.

Few things can kick-start a day better than the inane prattling of a Steve Lunetta column. OK, nothing beats the rantings of Betty Arenson, but that is a topic for another day. Lunetta delivers again with "The cultural tie that binds us together" (July 12). If we can believe Mr. Lunetta, and I do, invited a young, African exchange student and characterizes her political views as "claptrap." I guess Lunetta's melting pot only goes so far.
Your recent article ("City takes look at libraries," July 14) provided an inaccurate picture of the benefits and costs of county library service, including a grossly inaccurate cost for overhead.

The Marlins signed Jose Reyes to a $106 million deal in the offseason, ostensibly because he would help the team sell tickets. Just how he's going to help them sell tickets, well, they're not really sure yet. After the jump, please take a look how one marketing person spent his or her afternoon one day:
The Marlins wanted to get the shadows out of Jose Reyes' eyes for their ticket ad, which makes sense. A little Photoshop can go a long way. But, uh, not sure where all his hair went from the picture on the left to the picture on the right.
Someone made a really, really odd decision. As long as we're taking requests, how about Carl Pavano without a mustache, and a Brian Wilson with more of a Ming the Merciless thing going.
(Edit: That's right. He cut the hair off in February. So the picture on the left is a Photoshop just to get him into a Marlins uniform, and the one on the right is a Photoshop of a Photoshop. Got it.)

Growing up in Oregon I am a full time Ducks fan, having lived in Idaho for 5 years now I am a part time Broncos fan, meaning anytime BSU is not playing the Ducks I cheer for them. That being said please do not take offense when I say it seems like there is a lot of talk about the Oregon Ducks on this blog, I mean it is almost like the people here cannot get enough of them. Whether it is talking about the New Coach they have or the uniform redesign. Also I noticed the O in your main picture bares an uncanny resemblance to the Oregon O it is just a different color. I my question is this. What are the general feelings towards the Oregon Ducks on this site. Personally I am a huge Ducks fan but I have a huge amount of respect for the Broncos and all that they have accomplished.
Looking forward to a great game in September, See you at Bronco Stadium and GO DUCKS!!!!!!

Yea, try exaplaining to your parents that you believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster
Here's the best way to summarize God, from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
Now it is such a bizarrely impossible coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the nonexistence of God. The arguement goes something like this:
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," say Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't though of that" and promply vanishes in a puff of logic.
"That was easy." Man says, and then goes out to prove that black is white and gets himself killed at the next zebra crossing.
Life is meant to be seen in pink.

In this 2012 Annual Report, we will show you how your dollars built and saved lives.

The Nerd Herd by Hammy the Hepcat - almost 2 years ago
"My school host "Olympic Games" for our Homecoming week, and part of the fun is that you make a team name and design matching shirts! So this is us right before all the goofy events started! It was so much fun and we all wore nerd glasses and suspenders and high socks to add some more nerdy flair. CustomInk had the best service in comparison to any other company I've used. I'm looking forward to using them next year because we got so many compliments on our shirts and they really brought up our team spirit!!!"

Straight out of Hempstead NY, a place notable for producing some of the world's most renowned hip hop artists, Roc Marciano has achieved a level of buzz and recognition worthy of his home town. Coming up in Busta Rhymes' Flipmode Squad in the early 2000s and holding it down in the UN, Roc's evolution has also included collaborations with some of the best producers in rap like Pete Rock, Large Professor, The Alchemist, Nottz, Easy Mo Bee, and DJ Muggs. And this is just the beginning— Roc is far from slowing down.
Fresh off his critically acclaimed Marcberg album, noted by respected media outlets like Pitchfork, HipHopDX, Nah Right, and Okayplayer as one of the best records of the year, Roc is ready to bless the masses with another non-stop banger, Reloaded. The album finds Roc in his truest form, bringing his hard-knock rhymes to life. In addition to Roc's own production, the album features production from Q-Tip, The Alchemist and Arch Druids that is sure to satisfy real hip hops heads, fiending for Roc's street-proven style.
In the two years since Marciano's Marcberg, this unparalleled MC/Producer has kept himself busy. Not only lighting up the internet with "MARS", a collaboration alongside rhymeslayers Cormega, Action Bronson, and Saigon, but also turning heads with projects such as The Greneberg EP (noted by SPIN magazine as one of the top hip hop records of 2011), as well as a furious feature with Random Axe on "Chewbacca", and a verse on 2011's Wu Tang Legendary Weapons.

Logansport girls basketball coach Jerry Hoover knew McCutcheon would be a tough out in sectional play.
The Berries drew the Mavericks in the first round of the Class 4A Logansport Sectional Tuesday night.
In a matchup probably more befitting of a sectional final, the Berries were able to jump out to a big lead early and pull away late in a 60-49 win over the Mavericks.
As often is the case with Class 4A Sectional 7, it doesn't get any easier for the Berries (20-2) the rest of the way, starting with Harrison at 8 p.m. on Friday night. McCutcheon finishes 11-11. Marion faces Kokomo in the earlier semifinal Friday.
"Al Rhodes says this over and over again, 'You can't win the tournament unless you win the first game,'" Hoover said. "We won the first game so now we get a chance to see what we can do the rest of the tournament."
Whitney Jennings hit her second 3 of the game to end the first quarter to give the Berries a quick 17-4 lead. A Jennings score on a fastbreak to open the second quarter made it 19-4.
Hoover said of the Mavericks' slow start: "I think again the crowd really helped us early because they didn't shoot well to start with.
"Once they started shooting they shot pretty well. But we had a 10-point lead on them and that's the way it ended up."
The Mavericks heated up from 3 and quickly got themselves back in the game. They hit four trifectas in a row, two by Gabby Gary and two by Becca Spitnaliak and all of a sudden it was a 24-23 game with 2:15 left in the half.
"We had a great start. They have good shooters and they came back and they shot the ball well and they made a run on us," Jennings said. "We knew they were a good team. We played them the first game of the year and they didn't have [Kerstyn] Lowery, which she's a great player, so we knew it was going to be a battle."

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — The sport may be unpredictable. The results looked like anything but a free-for-all.
France. France. France.
Vive le skicross.
Jean Frederic Chapuis led the first French medals sweep in Winter Olympics history Thursday, taking gold in the wild sport of skicross while Arnaud Bovolenta won silver and Jonathan Midol walked away with bronze.
"Two good friends. I can't explain how it feels," Midol said. "We had a dream to make the podium with friends. The Olympic Games, three French on the podium is incredible."
The three quickly bolted ahead in front of Calgary's Brady Leman, the fourth finalist of Thursday's medal race. Leman briefly passed Midol for the third position but wiped out two-thirds of the way down the mountain, meaning the French only had to stay upright to make history.
"I was in disbelief, almost, when I was lying there," said Leman. "But it's part of ski cross."
The French threesome skied to the line single file. Chapuis crossed first. Then Bovalenta. Then Midol, who couldn't regain his balance after the final, sky-high jump and tumbled down, skidding across the finish to win the bronze.
Later, they posed on the podium together: Chapuis in his Olympic-issue green bib, Bovalenta in blue, Midol in yellow. They all put hands on their own tricolour — the French flag — and held it aloft.
"We practice together all the time," Bovalenta said. "Jean is fast, he's a world champion. Sometimes it's Midol, sometimes it's (10th-place finisher Jonas) Devossau and sometime it's me."
Leman had a slow start in the final after dominating with clean runs in the quarter and semifinals.
"I just feel slightly better, right now, than I did in Vancouver," said Leman, who missed out on the 2010 Games due to leg injury shortly before the competition.
"It sucked watching my teammates from the stands, and all I wanted here is a chance," Leman added. "I gave myself a really good chance today, and that I'm really proud of, but it sucks to be so close to the podium."
Leman shrugged off talk that he may have been intentionally shut out by the French skiers.
"No, they were all trying for it, they were going for it," he said. "They skied the same as if it had been three different nations."
"Everyone was trying to pass and that's in part why I ended up getting stuck on the outside. I probably should have tried going inside, but we have to make split-second decisions, you can't get them all over a day of skicross, at some point you run out of luck — like I did a couple of hundred meters short."
Chris Del Bosco of Montreal, who was fourth in skicross at the Vancouver Winter Games in 2010, was eliminated in the opening round and finished 17th overall. Dave Duncan of London, Ont., who is second in the World Cup standings with a pair of victories this season, also failed to advance past the opening round and wound up 26th.
"I was skiing well all week, I just didn't adapt to the conditions today," said Del Bosco. "Not a good run.
"Anywhere not on the podium sucks, but to go out first round… it's tough to swallow."
Duncan said the snow was a "little slow" and was keeping the skiers together, causing a lot of contact.
"We didn't have normal snow conditions, this was spring skiing conditions. It was allowing us to keep much tighter, not many people were pulling away or creating separation."
The French have mastered this course. Earlier in the week, Pierre Vaultier won the men's snowboardcross contest to give his country its first gold medal in that sport's version of side-by-side racing.
The method to the madness?
"I'm not going to tell you my secret," Chapuis said.
This marked the sixth podium sweep of the Sochi Games — adding to four by the Netherlands speedskating teams and one by the U.S. men's ski slopestyle squad on the same hill as the skicross competition.
Slopestyle has high jumps, big tricks and its fair share of spills. For skicross, the course is reshaped to set up a bang-em-up game, in which four racers vie for position as they travel over a series of big jumps, smaller "rollers" and sharply banked turns.
Often, skis and poles — and arms and legs — get tangled.
The scene that best showcased the chaos came in the day's first quarterfinal, when Sweden's Victor Oehling Norberg was comfortably in the lead approaching the finish but lost an edge and wiped out. That caused Egor Korotkov of Russia to fall and Finland's Jouni Pellinen tumbled, too.
Switzerland's Armin Niederer somehow skied off to the side to stay upright. The photo finish for second involved three skiers, none of them upright. Korotkov won out among the cluster of flailing skis and poles. He ended up finishing fifth.
The closest any of the French came to falling came in the day's first heat, when Midol and American John Teller were racing side-by-side and trading elbows for position. Midol won that showdown, Teller ran off course and the French didn't face much more trouble during the rest of a near-cloudless day in which conditions on the course changed almost by the meter — wavering between slushy and hard depending on how the sun hit the mountain.
The French hadn't swept the medals at any Olympics since the 1924 Summer Games in Paris.
Ninety years later in Russia, this trio came through.
The 24-year-old Chapuis said it's the culmination of four years' of work by France's new generation of skicross racers.
Chapuis, who has dual citizenship in Switzerland, struggled to earn spots on the Alpine teams in both countries. Then, skicross was added to the Olympic program in 2010 and he took a turn to France and over to the rough-and-tumble side of the sport — a move not all-that-uncommon among the top skicross racers.
He came to the Olympics as the 2013 world champion.
"I had a good foundation, a good background in skiing," Chapuis said. "I managed to adapt to this discipline very quickly."
Bovolenta, 25, broke his collarbone, shoulder blade and two ribs in July 2013, an accident that happened on a bike, when his tire burst while he was riding in the French Alps.
"Silver medal in Sochi for me," he said. "I'm happy."
Midol, 26, skied for Westminster College in Salt Lake City. He came to the Olympics with only one top-10 finish this season but will leave with the bronze medal and his own place among the country's sports icons.
A celebration is on tap.
"We'll drink a little bit," Midol said. "We'll see. A big party it will be."

Pinterest is the latest website creating a firestorm of attention across the Internet. You may have seen your friends flooding your Facebook news feed with Pinterest posts and wondering where they are all coming from. Could it be the next big thing in social networking?
Pinterest is a pinboard-style social photo sharing website that allows users to create and manage theme-based image collections such as events, interests, hobbies and more. Users can browse other pinboards for inspiration, 're-pin' images to their own collections and/or 'like' photos.
Pinterest's mission is to "connect everyone in the world through the 'things' they find interesting"via a global platform of inspiration and idea sharing. Pinterest allows its users to share 'pins' on both Twitter and Facebook, which allows users to share and interact with a broad community.
Founded by Ben Silbermann, of West Des Moines, Iowa, the site is managed by Cold Brew Labs and funded by a small group of entrepreneurs and inventors. It is one of the "fastest growing social services in the world."
Development of Pinterest began in December 2009, and the site launched as a closed beta in March 2010. The site proceeded to operate in invitation-only open beta. Co-founder Ben Silbermann said he personally wrote to the site's first 5,000 users offering his personal phone number and even meeting with some of its users. Nine months after launch the website had 10,000 users. Silbermann and a few programmers operated the site out of a small apartment until the summer of 2011.
On August 16, 2011, Time magazine listed Pinterest in its "50 Best Websites of 2011″ article. Pinterest is similar to earlier social, image bookmarking systems based on the same principle, such as David Galbraith's 2005 project Wists. In December 2011, the site became one of the top 10 largest social network services, according to Hitwise data, with 11 million total visits per week. The next month, it drove more referral traffic to retailers than LinkedIn, YouTube, and Google+. The same month, the company was named the best new startup of 2011 by TechCrunch.
In January 2012 comScore reported the site had 11.7 million unique users, making it the fastest site in history to break through the 10 million unique visitor mark. Pinterest's wide reach helped it achieve an average of 11 million visits each week in December 2011. Most of the site's users are female, with 97% of the site's Facebook "likes" being made by women.
At the South By Southwest Interactive conference in March 2012, Silbermann announced revamped profile pages were being developed and would be implemented soon. On March 23, 2012 Pinterest unveiled updated terms of service that eliminated the policy that gave it the right to sell its user's content. The terms would go into effect April 6.

Martial arts instructor Ryan Hoover had a different kind of student in a special self-defense class Saturday. Almost all of them were teachers.
Hoover says interest has spiked in the classes since the Newtown, Connecticut school shooting in December.
He started the "Safer Campus Now Workshop" which took place at the West Gastonia Boys and Girls Club. Hoover says it's about giving teachers options if an active shooter situation arises.
"Once the intruder comes through the door, everybody in that classroom is really exposed," he said.
The teachers learned how to knock down a potential intruder and bring him to the ground. Hoover also had demonstrations with a man walking through a classroom with a pretend rifle.
Teachers who attended the class told us they want to be able to protect themselves and their students. "Gun violence is an increasingly common part of the situations we could encounter as teachers," said teacher Kelly Edwards. "I just thought whatever I could do to make myself a little bit more knowledgeable is probably a good bet."

Funny...you were fine with the China crap before the rebate problem.
AUTHOR: seeworthy - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Friday, November 16, 2012POSTED: Friday, November 16, 2012
Only one rebate needed extra attention. As it was for $400, I contacted the rebate division and they said they never received it. As instructed, I scanned and emailed them a copy of everything including the postmarked envelope (if you don't make copies, you're a dope). The online activity then indicating it was being processed and I received the rebate shortly there after. Other than that, the scores of rebates have gone just fine for me.
I lease mail boxes at my business and see quite a few of these post card rebates arrive for customers. I've often wondered how many of these cards are simply lost in the mail or perhaps stolen and forged, though I.D is required at the register. Even when filling out the rebate slip in those small character recognition squares, it's easy to imagine someone having their rebate sent to an incorrect address due to sloppy handwriting.
These rebates, including the 11% promotions, are not simple cash. They're bounce back coupons intended on getting customers back into the store to spend more than the rebate credit. To scam consumers by not sending rebates and expecting them to simply not notice the transaction breach is lame-minded thinking, especially when daftly ignoring other possibilities for any perceived fault.
So if you prefer to shop at a different location, that's great. It's the capitalistic way. (Just my opinion, but I've dealt with enough contractors to know when to expect shoddy work just by the way they talk.) By that same means of commerce, and by this OP's very logic, I would seriously consider avoiding S&C due to irrational and antagonistic behavior which will be reflected into their quality of labor. After all, the composer of this complaint clearly admits repeated shopping of what he feels is poor quality materials and then presumably installing them on the customers properties. S&C only claims to discontinue that conduct after having a rather juvenile tantrum about a rebate not showing up in the mail. If S&C isn't logically inclined enough to correct a silly rebate issue, how could they possibly have the ingenuity to resolve unique and diversified challenges of home/commercial construction??
Nope, I am neither a Menard's employee nor does my daddy own the corporation. Too bad though, as I'd probably get more than a crummy 11% discount otherwise.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Indian filmmaker, Muslim groups reach agreement
NEW DELHI (AP) - Indian movie star Kamal Hassan has reached a settlement with Muslim organizations in southern India and agreed to delete seven scenes from his latest spy thriller, Indian media reported Sunday.
The Tamil Nadu government had banned Hassan's film "Vishwaroopam" in the state following protests from several Muslim groups objecting to the film's portrayal of Islam.
Hassan and Muslim leaders reached an agreement Saturday after more than five hours of talks.
Islamic groups have promised to call off their protests against the film and withdraw legal cases that they have filed against the filmmaker.
Hassan is the producer, director and star of the film, which was released abroad and in some Indian states on Jan. 25. The film has received a tremendous response in states where it has been released and has earned favorable reviews from film critics.
The film has been made in the Tamil, Telugu and Hindi languages.
It had been cleared by India's Censor Board before the Muslim groups raised objections to some scenes prompting the Tamil Nadu government's ban. That decision was followed by similar bans on the film in Sri Lanka and Malaysia.
The film is expected to be released in Tamil Nadu as early as Friday.

Presidents and Dictators in Latin America

Latin American Dictators
Latin America has traditionally been home to dictators: charismatic men who have seized almost complete control over their nations and held it for years, even decades. Some have been fairly benign, some cruel and violent, and others merely peculiar. Here are some of the more noteworthy men who have held dictatorial powers in their home nations. ?
Biography of Simon Bolivar
Venezuelan Simon Bolivar was the most important leader of South America's Independence movement, which lasted from 1806 to 1825. A brilliant general and visionary politician, he led the liberation of Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. His dream of a strong, united Latin America is still unfulfilled.
Presidents of South America
Over the years, many men (and a few women) have been president of the different nations of South America. Some have been crooked, some noble, and some misunderstood, but their lives and accomplishments are always interesting.
Crooked Politicians in Latin America
It was Mario Puzo who allegedly said "A lawyer with a briefcase can steal more than a thousand men with guns." Well, if that's true, how much can you steal if you're President of a Latin American nation? A lot more than a lawyer with a briefcase, it turns out. Corrupt politicians in Latin America have been ripping off the citizens of their...
Gabriel García Moreno: Ecuador's Catholic Crusader
Gabriel García Moreno was president and dictator of Ecuador for several years in the turbulent mid-nineteenth century. He is remembered primarily as a Catholic zealot who, in spite of his belief that Ecuador should be ruled by the church, managed to accomplish much during his tenure in office.
Biography of Francisco de Paula Santander
Francisco de Paula Santander was one of Liberator Simon Bolivar's best friends until they had to jointly rule the young nation of Gran Colombia. The two men became political foes, to the point where many suspect Santander was behind an attempt on Bolivar's life in 1828.
Biography of Alberto Fujimori
Alberto Fujimori, President of Peru from 1990-2000, is something of an enigma. Is he the one who controlled Peru's runaway economy, ending inflation and providing economic security for millions? Or is he the one who oversaw unheard-of levels of corruption that saw $600 million in skimmed funds over ten years? The answers are not easy to find.

John Benitez, Jr. was employed as a nurse by the Dearborn Health Department. Dearborn is reported to a Muslim population of 30%. Benitez was instructed by his female supervisor who was also Muslim that he was not to treat female patients who were Islamic and who head scarves. He was directed to transfer those patients to the female supervisor.
A doctor saw him sending a female who wanted a flu shot to his supervisor. When asked why he was doing this, Benitez explained that those were his directions. The doctor said that this was procedure was burdensome and that he should treat anyone who came into the clinic. He complied with the directions but was subsequently fired. According to the Complaint, he was told the clinic's conservative male clientele did not want a male treating female patients. This view was adopted, and Benitez was terminated.
The case raises the issue of customer preference, based in part on religious beliefs, as a defense under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Under the statute, an employer may have a defense to intentional discrimination where the decision is based on otherwise prohibited discrimination which is reasonably necessary to the normal operation of a business. This defense is known as the bona fide occupational qualification defense("BFOQ). While customer preference is not a per se a BFOQ, courts have examined the defense in the context of privacy, especially in nursing home and corrections context.
The Sixth Circuit considered the issue in Everson v. Michigan Dep't of Corrections, 391 F. 3d 737(2002).
The court stated, with respect to the test to be applied, that particular circumstances of the individual employer must be examined, and that a court must not simply rely on generalizations about an industry or a group of employers. Appraisals need not be based on objective, empirical evidence, and common sense and deference to experts in the field may be used to establish a BFOQ. (391 F. 3d at 1560.)
The EEOC addressed the issue in an informal opinion letter dealing with pre school child care and educational services. The letter stated: Even if client or customer privacy concerns are implicated, courts have examined whether the employer could "reasonably arrange job responsibilities in a way to minimize a clash between the privacy interests of [its customers or clients] and the non-discriminatory alternatives of Title VII." Gunther v. Iowa State Men's Reformatory, 612 F.2d 1079, 1086 (8th Cir.), cert. denied, 446 U.S. 966 (1980).
In this case, was it possible to arrange job responsibilities in a way consistent with the EEOC letter? The clinic could have used a procedure where a female who was uncomfortable being treated by a male would be transferred to the female supervisor for treatment upon request. Terminating Benitez, as alleged in the Complaint, based upon customer preference would not be saved by a BFOQ of needing only women to treat women.
In areas such as Dearborn, where there is the every day mixture of people with different religious beliefs, employers must be alert to situations where personnel decisions may involve customer preference based on religious beliefs or practices. Employers are going to be confronted with more sensitive issues. Decisions based on customer preference which are discriminatory must be considered carefully before any implementation with an examination of options to avoid discrimination. Establishing a BFOQ is difficult.

SEO Tips To Help You Outrank The Competition

Many new website and business owners are satisfied with just promoting their sites by posting articles and investing in paid advertising, with the hope that these methods will help them reach their audience. The above mentioned methods may work; however, by utilizing proper SEO, an owner can attain prime location in search results. Use the tips that are in this article and you can start to raise the profile of your website. Use good, descriptive text for your site's title tag so search engines can figure out the relevance of your site's content, and display your site in lots of search results. You should not have it over 60 characters, most search engines do not show anything after that. Words past the 60-character point also tend to matter less to search engines.
You need to gear your website to go along with your keywords and your products. Make sure that you constantly update your site with new articles.
The world of podcasts is also something you should consider. Video and audio podcasts may be streamed live, and they are best when they contain valuable and timely information the consumer. Take advantage of the current popularity of pod casts by video taping or voice recording a marketing message. You should use meta descriptions attached to your podcast posting to make sure that search engine spiders can index them properly for ranking. When you are selecting the keywords and phrases you want to use to attract the search engines, try to think like a customer rather than an insider. Determine which common words and phrases people are using when they search the web. The best thing you can do to ensure visitors get the most out of your site is to keep your site's content up-to date, fresh and interesting. People have no use for old information, and your visitors will probably not return if they see that your content is stale and out of date. When you make the most of SEO it will boost your business. A lot of businesses do not realize this fact. You must research your keywords before attempting to optimize your site. Find out which keywords you need to focus on when building your website and titles. Your keywords research will help you ascertain what search words and phrases are being entered by your prospective customers as they look online for products or services like yours. You can then use those terms to increase your rankings through search engine optimization. You should always use keyword phrases on links coming to your site and also the ones that are already there. " as anchor text. Search engines will then ascertain that the links are relevant to your keywords and this will positively alter your site ranking. Periodically go through your site and make sure that internal links use keyword links as well.
Search Engines
It is very important to edit and proofread your website. Take the time to look over your website and make sure that everything is legible and correct for your readers, and for the search engines. If you don't take the time to run spell-check and grammar check on your site, search engines will penalize you. You can optimize your website by using a lot of different techniques. If your web page is optimized to maximize efficiency, you will gain the highest quality results. In addition, the better that it works, the more pleased your users will be.
If you are looking for ways to optimize your site for search engines, you should first analyze your server headers. If the server headers aren't correctly set up, your chances of success decrease substantially.
Search engine bots look for new material, so updating your website regularly will boost your ranking. Also, well-written articles that you post will be shared across the internet. Then the people who shared them will come back for more and so will their friends. By creating more defined search parameters, you can optimize the results to work in your favor. To perfect those results, try using definite commands that can help the users find you in the relevant results. Your website's server should be coded so that it is case-sensitive with regards to URLs. Otherwise, search engine spiders might end up reading the capital and lowercase versions of your site as different pages, reducing the quality of your inbound links.
If you do not have the right resources, then you might only be able to optimize your site to one or two good search engines. Keyword-rich content may work well for some search engines.
Marketing online is all about search engine optimization (SEO). Use keywords that best describe your product or service. This will bring the interested visitors to your site and raise your rankings with those little robots that weave through the Internet. Correct keyword usage will drive the correct visitors to your site.
Search Engine
Search engine optimization takes time and you might be slow to see results. All of us want to have instant gratification. However, establishing yourself within your niche can take months of work. You need to stay with it, even if you are not seeing any changes yet. In time, you will see the pay off that you're hoping for as your site begins to climb the ranks within the search engine results.
Link to high-quality content on other sites to improve your search engine rankings. This is one important part to linking.
An important component of your website is an RSS feed, also known as a Really Simple Syndication feed, that can provide potential buyers with relevant updates. Regularly updated RSS feeds count as fresh content. If you are unable to locate an appropriate existing feed to include on your site, try developing your own. You can use the feed to supply your website with a steady stream of information relevant to your industry or product. Encourage people to subscribe to your own RSS feed too. Don't post pages that are too similar to each other. Place special emphasis on your title selection. These titles are very important for your SEO. If you want your web site to appear in the first pages of results, use keywords in your titles. Site maps make the website easier to navigate and increases the traffic to your different pages. This results in the pages being linked together. This will boost your site traffic, as people will visit the links at the side.
An effective affiliate technique is set ups on a pay-per-click basis. This is a simple system with low pay, but you can make money from it.
You might actually be able to get some traffic to your site while your site is ranked on the back pages, but your traffic would exponentially increase as soon as you started to implement the proper SEO tactics. By using the tips you've just read in this article, you can start to raise the profile of your website.

The Great Falls man who was fatally struck by a vehicle on Monday evening has now been identified.
Police have told us that the 53 year- old, James Lewis Riggins, stepped out into traffic before being struck by the vehicle. All of which occurred shortly after 5:00 PM. He was then transported to the Benefis Health System where he was pronounced dead just an hour later. As of now, an investigation by the Great Falls Police Department is still being conducted.
