Um, wow. I skipped much of the way home from Autzen, because it just felt like the right thing to do. But all in all I had a wonderful evening. And here's how it went:
After some pregame AtQ-ing and beer drinking, trumpetduck and I headed out from my apartment to Autzen. Our first stop was the AtQ tailgate, where JConant, dvieira, JShufelt, Al Orange, DuckinNY, qrsouther, and axemen23 were hanging out.
These guys were hanging out too, and gorging themselves on tortilla chips Dom was tossing them. After leaving the AtQ boys, we headed towards the Battle of the Bands at the Mo Center. On the way, we found a KEZI broadcast, and T-Duck decided to test his journalistic chops.
If you've ever wondered what it looks like to be an trOMBone, this is it.
Now as many of you know, I spent four years in the OMB. I'm still connected with band, connected enough that I was on the band gatelist for the game. On the gatelist + an OMB jacket = a field pass. Long story short, I ended up getting a lot of high fives.
These were hiding underneath the running ad board. Foreshadowing much?
Brandon Bair. More on him later.
That would be my hand on the left and LeGarrette Blount about to high-five the shit out of it. Crenshaw hooked me up too.
This is about where I was for the National Anthem and DuckVision. Yeah, that's what's up.
The only appropriate caption is "Hey gurl heeeeey!"
Had to switch to video mode for the Ducks running on. Supwitchugirl in the pregame DuckVision vid was brilliant. And Kenny Wheaton scored. All is well.
Gametime go!
Touchdown LMJ!!! Man, he's totes a redshirt freshman. Wonderful.
I'm the worst at taking in-game pictures, so we flash forward to the fourth quarter and Uncle Phil on the field, probably tossing hundreds at anyone who walks be cuz he's a straight G and he'll do what he wants.
Awwww Duck, are those for me? You shouldn't have!
And then the Ducks do their best Oprah impersonation. You get a Rose Bowl! And you get a Rose Bowl! Everybody gets a Rose Bowl! Except you Keaton Kristick. You don't get a Rose Bowl.
Many of you rushed the field. I had third row seats next to the West Tunnel. I was staying right the hell where I was. Everybody walked by:
Uncle Phil
Terrell Turner, with a really high five.
J-Ma, tossin' up the O. It's 'frisco baby!
IMG_3053 (via Tako_Falls_Down)
Katelynn Johnson. Don't worry, nobody's throwing anything at you here. Here, have a Rose Bowl.
Chip Kelly, undoubtedly on his way to pound a Corona before the postgame press conference.
The Duck, along with Rob Beard, Scott Grady, and Marvin Johnson.
Ed Dickson, getting his media on. I saw you on Rome Eduardo, you may need a little interview work before the NFL. Good to see you're getting practice.
Not to be outdone, LMJ gets some interview time.
The Melee. Just amazing.
So I'm taking pictures of all that's going on, and somebody taps me on the shoulder and politely says, "Excuse me." I turn around and who is it?
I guess he thought a quicker way to the locker room than through the crowd was going into the stands and hopping the wall. Fine by me, you're like 7 feet tall. Do whatever you want Brandon Bair.
And as a fitting send-off:
Go Ducks. Go Ducks. Go. Ducks. Let's go to Pasedena.

After completing the 10 week crime prevention program, the Hattiesburg Police Department hosted its annual D.A.R.E. graduation for eight 6th grade schools in the Hattiesburg area.
More than 400 students graduated from the D.A.R.E. program and after writing an essay on what they learned throughout the program many of them left home with medals, plaques and even a bicycle.
"We do this for the children because for long we were considered to be the bad guys in the community," said Hattiesburg Officer Cedric Brown. "It helps us bridge the gap between us and the kids and also teaches the kids the right from wrong when it comes down to crime and also drugs."
Along with the D.A.R.E. program, the HPD also has a P.A.L.S. program which is after school.

Consider this a follow to the Hotline post from late May on Pac-12 revenues and expenses, which were provided in the 990s.
That post focused on the revenue. This one takes a more in-depth look at the expense side.
Why the delay?
1. Because expenses are more difficult to identify, especially when it comes to the Pac-12 Networks.
And after a series on conversations with sources and league officials … I still don't have a breakdown of the expenses. But I have better a better feel for the situation.
2. Because strep throat systematically laid waste to Chez Wilner for a week, further delaying the publication.
*** First off, the timing.
Let's give a big thumbs down to the chancellors and presidents, who take an anti-transparency policy when it comes to league revenues, expenses and distributions.
You might have noticed that the SEC and Big 12 just announced projected data for the current fiscal year.
The Pac-12 does no such projections and only last month released its 2012-13 figures, after taking the maximum number of IRS extensions.
Before anyone slams the conference office on this matter, please note: The approach/policy is set by the CEOs.
It would be nice if they were more proactive and forthcoming.
The league has 10 public schools, after all.

The Lower Owens River Project was an action item on yesterdayŌĆÖs Technical Group meeting agenda as well as the subject of a recent study session called by the Owens Valley Committee.
With agreement from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Inyo County Water Department and the LORP consultants, Ecosystem Sciences, the Tech Group agreed Friday there would be no seasonal flow down the river channel this year.
As California utility companies work to achieve the state-mandated 33 percent renewable energy goal, Inyo County is struggling with the implications.
County leaders began exploring Inyo CountyŌĆÖs solar potential and the impacts those developments could have on local landscapes, wildlife and people four years ago. Ultimately, the board adopted Title 21 in 2010 in an attempt to allow the county to maintain some control over the expected renewable energy boom.
The public is invited to "An Evening with Andy Lipkis: Could L.A. Really Use 30 Percent Less Water a Year?" from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Monday at Mountain Light Gallery, 106 S. Main St., Bishop. Donations are welcome at the door to cover expenses.
Lipkis has spearheaded an approach using trees and forest-inspired technologies to make cities sustainable while mitigating floods, drought, pollution and global warming. Called ŌĆ£Functioning Community Forests,ŌĆØ it is being demonstrated in L.A. as a model for cities everywhere.

Five Essential Components of Reading
Reading with children and helping them practice specific reading components can dramatically improve their ability to read. Scientific research shows that there are five essential components of reading that children must be taught in order to learn to read. Adults can help children learn to be good readers by systematically practicing these five components:
1.Recognizing and using individual sounds to create words, or phonemic awareness. Children need to be taught to hear sounds in words and that words are made up of the smallest parts of sound, or phonemes.
2.Understanding the relationship between written letters and spoken sounds, or phonics. Children need to be taught the sounds individual printed letters and groups of letters make. Knowing the relationship between letters and sounds helps children to recognize familiar words accurately and automatically, and "decode" new words.
3.Developing the ability to read a text accurately and quickly, or reading fluency. Children must learn to read words rapidly and accurately in order to understand what is read. When fluent readers read silently, they recognize words automatically. When fluent readers read aloud, they read effortlessly and with expression. Readers who are weak in fluency read slowly, word by word, focusing on decoding words instead of comprehending meaning.
4.Learning meaning and pronunciation of words, or vocabulary development. Children need to actively build and expand their knowledge or written and spoken words, what they mean and how they are read.
5.Acquiring strategies to understand, remember and communicate what is read, or reading comprehension strategies. Children need to be taught comprehension strategies, or the steps good readers use to make sure they understand text. Students who are in control of their own reading comprehension become purposeful, active readers.

The weather station at SFO simultaneously reported an eerily similar and freakish cloudburst which was apparantly triggered by the events in LA. Aside from the timing and lack of warning signs, the intense precipitation generated just below waist height is unprecedented and unexplained.
The unusual yellow tint was initially attributed to pollutants captured during extreme wind shear. Experts with the CA EPA have since backpedaled and refuse to speculate pending further tests.
Modeling by climatologists at both USC and UC Berkley pointed to intense high pressure emanating from Arizona as the cause.
In apparantly unrelated but coincidental news, the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Psychiatric Association reported an outbreak of sleepwalking among high profile local athletes.

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to learn Japanese.
My grandma is Japanese, although she's lived in America for 56 years and speaks English, I still think it would be cool to be able to speak Japanese.
I've thought about getting Rosetta Stone a bunch of times, but it's a $500 investment that I just can't afford.
I can, however, afford a free demo. I mean, it's free. Right now, you can get a free demo of Rosetta Stone in any language you choose. Just click that link, select your language, and you're good to go.
I'm excited. Maybe I'll learn Japanese after all.
What language will you learn?

Hey Diliproy973,
Welcome to the forum! Please have a look at the user guide, page 29. If you have troubles sending or receiving emails, or configuring the mailbox, then please go to email.nokia.com. There you can check and change the settings of your mailboxes, remove them and add new ones. If you add a new one, it will not automatically appear to your mobile, just to the Nokia Messaging server. So you still need to configure it to the device too.
Hope this helps!

Broadway Theatre and recent home to Rock of Ages, Next Fall, The 39 Steps, and Kiki & Herb: Alive on Broadway
The Helen Hayes Theatre was designed by the architect Harry Creighton Ingalls of the firm Ingalls & Hoffman, and built by Winthrop Ames. When it first opened, it was known as the Little Theatre, owing both to the theatre's small size (with a seating capacity of only 300), and also because the theatre's goal was to create small, intimate productions. The theatre in fact gave birth to what became known as the Little Theatre Movement in the early twentieth century.

First of all.......THE SAINTS ARE THE HIGHEST RATED TEAM IN MADDEN!!!?!?!?!??!?!?
I guess this is fairly obvious and predictable since, as you may or may not know, they won the Super Bowl. It still threw me off a little bit. All those years playing with a low ranking team (fair enough) with talented, but grossly under rated player ratings (salt in the wound). Now I can play with my head held high, not afraid to take on the likes of the Colt or Steelers. Saints teams in Madden could always challenge any team, but now the tables have turned! Happy Day!
here is the link from your friends at Niners Nation...
my initial thoughts:
1) Brees is the man (and by "the man" i mean a robot)...no room for improvement there
2) Tony Richardson is rated a 94? no fullback should be ranked that high, let alone one that is 74 years old..come on
3) Big Nicks & Stinch getting some love...awesome!

MBB Game Notes: vs Lamar
Jan. 2, 2013
SFA (10-1, 1-0 SLC) vs Lamar (2-10, 0-0 SLC)
The Last Meeting
March 8, 2012
Katy, Texas
SFA is currently enjoying its best start since the 2007-08 season, a year in which it won its first Southland Conference title. SFA enters Thursday with the top RPI in the SLC and as the only one-loss team in the Southland.
Stephen F. Austin and Wisconsin are the only two programs in the nation to be ranked in the top 10 nationally in scoring defense each of the last five seasons.
Danny Kaspar needs just two more wins to reach 450 for his career.
SFA played exactly 30 games in the 2012 calendar year, going 24-6 in those games.
The Lumberjacks enter Thursday's game averaging just 49.5 points allowed per game, making them the only squad in the country not to average 50 points allowed per game.
Series Notes
SITTIN' ON 20: The `Jacks have six 20-win campaigns since becoming a Division I program in 1988. All six of those 20-win seasons have come under Danny Kaspar.
AMONG NATION'S BEST: As a team the `Jacks are right at the top of the country in scoring defense, but the `Jacks also have a pair of individuals who are near the top of the country's statistical rankings as well. Senior Taylor Smith currently sports a .664 field goal percentage, which is sixth in the nation, while Hal Bateman's 7.2 assists per game ranks ninth in the country.

After examining what happened with the Astros/Angels game, and attempting to see if it was possible to play my own future games (it's not), I went ahead and reset that result. It should not have happened - it should not have been POSSIBLE - and I would recommend both sides chalk that one up to experience. I can't do anything about the injury to Scherzer, but he's only out a day anyway (and I believe BokoLife said Scherzer's his third starter), so he should, in theory, be healthy enough to make his regularly scheduled start.
I don't know if fatigue will be a factor, but I can't do anything about that, either.
LET THIS BE A LESSON: DO NOT, EVEN IF IT LOOKS AS IF YOU CAN, ATTEMPT TO PLAY GAMES THAT ARE NOT MARKED 'AVAILABLE' BECAUSE IT MAY FUCK UP YOUR ROTATION. The way things are currently set up, it looks like we're advancing one series at a time. That one is on me, because I thought '1' meant '1 series ahead of pace' when I set it up. I had meant to set it up in such a way that the current and next series would be available. That doesn't appear to be the case.
Stick with what we've got. You can play anybody you want as practice, but if you're practicing to get the hang of timing and shit, I recommend you do so outside of the league. It's possible to send practice challenges in-game, and that may very well be what mudlife did, but the game didn't treat it as practice.
That's how I intend to treat any other examples of this that pop up. The result will be reset - you'll still have to play it anyway - but you'll likely have to deal with any injuries that happen as a result. I figure the risk of those injuries and the fact that the result won't count anyway ought to be sufficient deterrent to keep this from happening again.
I'm just really glad the 'oh shit this happened' injury is only listed as 1 day, so that Boko isn't dealing with a much larger issue.
Here you go, kids and squids. Let's try to keep scheduling and general discussion separate from one another. There is an in-game trade application, so you don't need to work the details of your trades out in public here. You can just see, generally, who might have an interest in your player here and then work it out in game.
Note that at some point we need to figure out trade approval. I see two options.
1) positiveuphemism rules on NL trades, I rule on AL trades, and we figure it out if cross-league trades happen.
2) A small committee (four people, say). The way this would work is that good faith is assumed in trading - it would take an affirmative majority to overturn a trade. That's 3/4 in ordinary situations; in the event that one of the committee members is involved in the trade, that reduces to 2/3. If two members are involved, an extraordinary measures clause gets invoked, and the league as a whole gets to vote yea or nay.
Feel free to chime in with your thoughts below and indicate which option you like better.

Next two weeks called "critical" in gun debate
WASHINGTON -- WASHINGTON -- Two of the loudest voices in the gun debate say it's up to voters now to make their position known to Congress.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and National Rifle Associate Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre each claim their views on guns have the support of the overwhelming number of Americans. And each advocate is looking at the next two weeks as critical to the debate.
Lawmakers are in their home states, hearing from constituents ahead of next month's anticipated Senate vote on gun control.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday that legislation would likely be debated next month that will include tougher laws and stiffer sentences for gun trafficking and increased school safety grants.
A ban on assault-style weapons was dropped from the bill

Hey, this is my first Fanpost for the Dallas Stars, been a fan for a long while and I love hockey more than baseball or football, which is a rarity here in Texas. But that's beside the point. I've been looking over the trade and I have a reason to believe it is about equal to both parties. I'll explain why:
1. Defensemen Prospects. With Joe Morrow, the Stars now have Oleksiak, Dillon, and Morrow. Dillion is a pretty big guy who just likes to bang bodies and defend. Oleksiak is like the finesse version of Chara and uses the same style Chara used at the beginning of his career, he'll learn to be able to hit as well. Morrow is, as described, a better skating version of Souray with the potential to become even greater than him. He is projected to be a Top 4 defenseman who can fit in with either Oleksiak or Dillon. Lots of versatility if his potential ends up working out in favor of the Stars.
2. Cap Room. The trade cuts off 4.1 million from the cap room. Even though it becomes moot because it was only a 1 year contract, we can afford to get a big time player or veteran in a trade an it not count much against the cap. Iginla is also on the trade board and there were Stars scouts at the Flames game yesterday, just to see where I'm heading with this.
3. Contract security. Modano wasn't offered an extension when he got older, either. Maybe B. Morrow was wanting to go to a place where he could go all the way. I mean, the Stars are good, a playoff team even, but Pittsburgh is just a bit better. He may have signed with a team like Pittsburgh in the offseason. For this, we get a prospect player in exchange for what would have been a trade-deadline rental. Not a bad deal.
4. Same scouting group that recommended Eakin also recommended J. Morrow if they could not get Eakin.
5. The value of trades for the rest of the league goes up, including veteran players. This was discussed in the Daily Links today. Dallas has Derek Roy and Jaromir Jagr ready to be on the trade board if this coming homestand is not good. And both could mean huge for 11th hour trades. 1st round in the upcoming draft huge.
1. He's a prospect. He's not an established player. This trade could be Nieuwendyk's make or break point and he's putting it on the line with a prospect. If the prospect does well, then Nieuwendyk gets points for making a good trade. If J. Morrow does not do well or is a bust, then the fans and Gaglardi would not take well to a GM who traded a fixture in Dallas who's been there since 1999 and provided leadership. Nieuy has already made some bad moves, along with the Goligoski/Neal trade in the back of plenty of Stars fans' minds. Not saying Goligoski's a bad player, Neal just turned into a freak of nature while he wasn't on the Stars.
2. The team doesn't get much younger. The average age goes from 28 to 27. Whee. 1 year.
So yeah, a lot goes into the trade. Some are saying it's a great trade, some are saying it's not a great trade and we could have gotten someone better. I added a poll for your thoughts on the trade.

The hearing for Hammad Memon on Thursday was the first time Todd Brown's family came face to face with Hammad.
A large number of Brown's family filed into the courtroom.
They sat on one side as Memon sat on the other, flanked by his attorney, Bruce Gardner.
Memon did not speak or make eye contact with the Brown family and only looked at the judge during his bond revocation hearing.
Memon showed little reaction as Judge Karen Hall revoked his bond.
Lucille Hurst is Brown's grandmother.
She sat across the courtroom, with other members of the family, staring down the teen charged with killing Brown during class change at Discovery Middle School two years ago.
"Having a panic attack. This is my first time to lay eyes on him. When I looked at him, he looked cold. Had to be to kill Todd - shoot him in the back of the head, premeditated," said Hurst. "Hopefully justice will be served. He will serve his time in prison. No matter what age - if murderer 10 or 80, you will be punished for what you did."
The mother was not in court because she couldn't get off work. Todd Brown's father did not want to speak on camera but was present for the hearing.
"He should have never been out of jail, should have been incarcerated. Seems like the justice system gave him a license to run," said John Lavender, Todd Brown's uncle.
Memon will remain in jail without bond.
Brown's family says it's been two long years since Todd's death, and waiting on a trial only makes the hurt stronger.
"Every time I go to the cemetery, I have to look at his grave and think his killer is walking around with the luxury of not being in jail. That's hard," said Lavender.
Todd Brown's family has filed a civil lawsuit, naming memon's parents, along with the Madison Board of Education and superintendent Dee Fowler.
Memon's parents have filed for a motion for a stay in the civil suit. The hearing is set for tomorrow at 1:30 p.m.

Here is my shot...
Chad Morris or Gus Malzahn should be the new head coach at UCLA. I don't want to hear anything silly about lack of experience and all that. As a former college coach and a current top high school coach, I can tell you that kids are attracted to excitement and high powered offenses. There are no two people more exciting in offense right now (maybe Chip Kelly) then Gus or Chad. More after the jump.
The spread offense originated in Texas high school football. I used to think it was the "flavor of the month," but it has hung on. Then a man child of a QB won a national championship in it last year and it changed everything forever. What is the "spread" really? It truly is elements of wing t, and veer in a 2x2 or 3x1 formation shell. You simply count the box to determine what you'll call from upstairs or by the sideline signaled to the QB. There is inside zone, outside zone, counter and read option. The inside slots provide the misdirection of the wing t and voila it is the "spread." Really simple, but when you put uber athletes in it, it makes a huge difference. Now truly UCLA's defense clearly needs some upgrading too but you never hear a 16 or 17 year old senior tout going to a school because of their great defense. Offenses put butts in seats.
The rage is Oregon, Florida before them (Tebow anyone?) and offenses like it (Clemson/Auburn) not so much for Auburn this year as the man child went to the NFL and is tearing that league up like no other rookie ever. But I digress, we have our man child. His name is Hundley. We need one of those guys to develop this kid, let him run what he knows, we have receivers we aren't using and kids are running from us in our own backyard scared to death of the pistol. What WR or QB wants to play in the pistol? HIre one of these architects of this offense, create excitement, hire a competent DC and you will be competing quickly for Pac12 championships.
The "spread" is a simple offense to install and it can be done in a few days over spring practice. You release the athletes to make plays and create matchup issues across the entire field. Then you don't lose kids like DeAnthony Thomas to Oregon. He is committed to USC and leaves. Yeah you could say it was the NCAA sanctions, but it wasn't. SC runs a pro style offense, 21 personnel. TE flanker and Split End. 2 backs. While in the spread 4 receivers are on the field at all times. Bingo! a kid sees he has a chance to get on the field and be one of the 4 a lot quicker then only playing 2 WR's. We'd all like to think kids want to "compete" but they want to play more then compete. And none want to wait their turn. It's two years and then NFL for these kids so they want more chances.
You didn't get Leach, nor did you get Rich Rod, so the next best thing is guys who architected the offense in TX and Arkansas. Of the two, I'd like Morris more. The blackmail job of Gus in Arkansas still rubs me the wrong way.
I'm off my soap box now. Discuss.

Lance Briggs Issues Statement Regarding NFL's Decision on 9/11 Commemorative Gear
The National Football League avoided a potential public relations nightmare, and more importantly, did what was widely considered to be the right thing, announcing Friday that players may wear special shoes and gloves that differ from official NFL equipment for Week 1 games. The move came a day after Lance Briggs, six-time Pro Bowl linebacker for the Chicago Bears, sent out a picture of shoes and gloves provided by Reebok to commemorate the ten-year anniversary of 9/11. He then tweeted:
"Reebok great job on these gloves and shoes… looks like I'm getting fined this week. Lol!"
But the league, which normally enforces a very rigid uniform policy, said they do not "anticipate any issues". The AP reported that Greg Aiello, spokesman for the NFL, sent an e-mail stating that, "We have extensive plans for Sunday to respectfully recognize the significance of the day."
He added that, "Lance Briggs and all players will participate."
After finishing up practice on Friday, Briggs declined to comment. He did issue a statement to me later in the evening which read:
"Thank you to the NFL for letting us go out on Sunday and honor those lives that were lost in 9-11, the servicemen who have lost their lives to protect our country and those soldiers who continue to do so."
The gloves and cleats (which can be seen below) are a striking vision of the American flag, sporting colors of red, white, and blue, numerous stars, the date, 9.11.2011, and the words 'Never Forget'.
Briggs, who was advised of the possible fine by Reebok, had anticipated that he could be paying as much as $5,000 for the gloves and $10,000 for the shoes. Those numbers might have been on the low end considering league history, however. ESPN has reported that two seasons ago, former Bengals wide receiver, Chad Ochocinco was fined $10,000 for nothing more than a chin strap violoation. Prior to that, the NFL threated to fine quarterback Peyton Manning $25,000 for a uniform tribute to the late Johnny Unitas.
Several other players had expressed their intent to wear 9/11 gear on Sunday, including Kansas City Chiefs running back, Jamaal Charles, five-time Pro Bowl receiver for the Indianapolis Colts, Reggie Wayne, Pro Bowl safety, Antoine Bethea, along with several other players on the San Diego Chargers.
Briggs and Wayne both indicated prior to the league announcement that this would be the "best fine" they had ever paid.
Wayne went into further detail saying, "That's an important time in our life… I'm going to wear it, and wear it proudly."
Charles sums up the importance of players being able to express their own personal tribute on the ten-year anniversary of 9/11.
"I never forget", he tweeted.
The NFL, to their credit, has no intentions of forgetting either. Despite the flap over the tribute gear, the league had already announced that all players on Sunday will have a patch on their jerseys featuring a ribbon with stars and stripes along with the dates "9/11/01" and "9/11/11." In addition, coaches, personnel and staff will have pins featuring a similar ribbon.
But the NFL was right in getting this issue resolved prior to game day. Now there will be no controversy to concern players or fans on Sunday. Football will be played, the fallen will be remembered, and our servicemen and women will be honored.
What could be a better tribute than that?

I understand the marketing importance
Submitted by bkeyser on Sat, 09/10/2011 - 10:13am.
of wearing the proper and prescribed uniform during games; even though it seems a little crass at times. But the NFL is a business, and other businesses contract with the NFL to supply and promote their products. However, on this day, of all days, some level of tolerance should be accepted and it's nice to see the NFL bend appropriately.
Purely from a business standpoint, the players and the NFL missed a real marketable opportunity here. If they hadn't spent all summer arguing over nonsense, finishing up just in time get the full allotment of games in, they could have created a special uniform jersey for each team. It's uniquely fortuitous that the 10 year anniversary fell on a Sunday and the 1st Sunday of the new season. All the pomp and pageantry is already in place, even without the added spectacle of the 9/11 memorial. A commemorative jersey, in the same vein as the throwbacks several teams wear each year, would have been a great souvenir for football fans, and a great way for the players and the NFL to show their respect and appreciation for the day. But, as is common during these times, labor disputes must take precedence. Shame.

Kind of sounds like a non-issue
Submitted by Einstein on Sat, 09/10/2011 - 10:22am.
The NFL has historically allowed for uniform substitutions commemorating noteworthy issues. Ever see an NFL player wearing pink shoes and gloves? That would be for breast cancer awareness. Now that opening day lands on 9/11, most likely the one day of the NFL season where more Americans are thinking about something more important than football, it's only appropriate the NFL allows for the alternative gear.
I'm betting MLB will bust out their stars and stripes caps as well.

On a side note, are these not the ugliest shoes and gloves you've ever seen? It's like Reebok raided the old zubaz factory and just went crazy...

I think he just wanted to get suspended, so he wouldnt have to play for the Bears, which is why he held out this training camp, right? I wonder how much Reeboks paying him?

Briggs didn't hold out of camp. He played until he was sidelined by an injury. The Bears traditionally will not allow a cemented starter back on the field in the preseason after an injury, and the six-time pro bowler certainly fits that bill.
Briggs requested a trade after the Bears refused to restructure his deal, but he has no leverage and he knows it, which is why there was no holdout.
As to pay, I doubt anything. Briggs is a stand-up guy who is generally a vocal leader for the team and is often out front on issues like this. I've been covering a sports journalist covering the Bears for major websites for years, and Briggs is certainly the kind of guy to take a fine over this for the sake of his beliefs.

Apparently just hitting the 1920s in Colorado, the police were busy last weekend running the Irish out of town. An old mentor of mine, Fr. Frank Cordaro (retired) went out to Colorado Springs on a speaking tour and while he was there, decided to march in the St. Paddy's day parade with some other peace and justice folks as part of the Bookman parade entry, a local book store that paid its entry fee and was an accepted parade participant. The Bookman people are peace folks and they have been part of the parade the last couple of years. This year, as they did last year, folks marching with the Bookman mobile wore green T-shirts with the peace sign on the back and front.
Apparently, all was well until they fell in line with the other parade entries, one block into the parade. They were then greeted by a man who identified himself as a parade organizer who told them we were not a legitimate parade entry (despite their having documentation proving they were). The police were immediately called into the fray. And before any clarity or and due process was afforded them, they were thrown off the parade route - some quite literally. Seven of us were arrested and beaten.
Of course, no police were arrested for their illegal and brutal actions.
Check out the nice li'l photo journal of the events here, and sigh in realization that the pigs are the same the world over. Oh, and the fella near the bottom in the choke-hold is the 60+ year old retired priest only two years off of a quadruple bypass surgery that was quite the influential guy in my upbringing. Of course, being a somewhat frail old man with a long history of pacifism, you can understand why he had to be slammed to the ground for the protection of the armed officers.

Peer Health Advocates
The Peer Health Advocates (PHAs) are student staff in the Community Wellness Office who offer peer-driven health promotion programming. The PHAs treat health and wellness as a global process. What that means is that they consider health as something we are all engaged in and striving towards, rather than something that can be achieved or lost. If you're interested in connecting with peers or other student groups with a passion for wellness, check out our events calendar or contact us directly!
Be well, your PHAs
Student Staff
Taylor Stinchcomb
I'm Taylor and I'm currently a senior majoring in Environmental Studies/Biology. I'm a Colorado girl born and raised; whose favorite outdoors activities are cycling, hiking, dog-walking, tennis and rowing. I have developed a newfound appreciation for the sky and sunshine since living in Portland, and I can tell you there's no better remedy for stress than a breath of fresh air. While indoors, I enjoy cooking, baking, solving crosswords, watching sports, and playing with kitties. As a PHA, I advocate daily mindfulness, healthy eating, regular exercise, and getting away from the books once in a while. I hope to help fellow students bring balance to their life at Reed. Wellness is a lifelong practice; My best advice? Take a little time each day to find your presence in the moment, then think of one thing that makes you smile.
Hannah Fung-Weiner
My name is Hannah, and I am a sophomore English Lit major. I am learning flamenco dance, and I like atlases and cats and mountains and aquariums, among ohter things. In my experience, the wonderful intensity of Reed often asks its community members to prioritize everything else over their personal health. The PHA program is important to me because we work to reverse that trend by putting a spotlight on pertinent student wellness topics, like stress management and sexual health.
Molly Spilka
I'm Molly and I'm a Biology major senior and this is my second year being a PHA. My interests include issues concerning sexual health, addiction, and mental health. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, crafting, reading, and volunteering at a cat shelter.
Eleanor Pike
Hi, I'm Eleanor, and I'm a sophomore psych/neuro major who loves reading, singing, dancing, and strolling aimlessly around Portland. I grew up in SE, and loved it so much I had to remain for school. I have left the pacific NW for other reasons, most recently to live in Berlin last semester. I love to travel and learn new languages- if you ever want to practice your German or Spanish (or if you want to blow off some stress by teaching me guitar… wishful thinking?), give me a call! I am so glad to be a part of this lovely and talented group of people. Reed is an incredible place, but it can be draining on our mental and physical health, and I urge all students to use the resources available to have the best Reed experience possible.
Rebekah Montz
Hey I am a junior philosophy major and premed student. When I'm not being a student I like to run, listen to music and watch or read anything that will make me laugh or think. I like being a PHA because it allows me to help improve the reed community and feed my passion for heath. If you see me around say "Hi" and if you have a question or a problem you think PHA's could help with don't hesitate to shoot me an e-mail.
Alex Aldersley
I'm Alex, an Art History major who loves literature, art, space, animals, and hiking mountains. I have a natural interest in mental, physical, and sexual health and am happy to be a part of a team that allows me to combine these interests with my desire to extend my knowledge and support to the Reed community. Feel free to contact with me with and questions or concerns you may have.

Same uniforms, but different look for Raiders
The Raiders will still wear Silver and Black, but new GM Reggie McKenzie is working on changing the overall appearance of the team.
AFC West draft needs
With three of the division's teams having needs at defensive tackle, they're likely to be paying close attention to Memphis DT-NT Dontari Poe.
Raiders agree to terms with ex-Colts LB Wheeler
The Raiders reached agreement Friday on a one-year contract with former Colts free-agent LB Philip Wheeler.
Panthers deal RB Goodson to Oakland
The Panthers traded RB Mike Goodson to the Raiders for OT Bruce Campbell, the team announced Friday.
The Oakland Raiders have signed safety Reggie Smith and Jennings to free agent contracts. General manager Reggie McKenzie announced the deals Thursday.||||||| Jennings replaces Mike Goodson as the backup to Darren McFadden. He has rushed for 944 yards and seven touchdowns and caught 61 passes in 38 games with Jacksonville. After missing the 2011 season with a knee injury, Jennings returned to play 10 games last season and start six. He averaged just 2.8 yards per carry.
Jennings was ruled out for Sunday's game against New England.||||||| Jennings passed his concussion test but has a shoulder injury and missed practice all week. Montell Owens will make his third consecutive start.
Jennings ran for 59 yards on 17 carries in his first start for the injured Maurice Jones-Drew on Sunday against the Packers.||||||| Jennings will likely get at least a couple more starts to impress as the Jaguars believe Jones-Drew's sprained foot will see him miss a few games.
Jennings is inactive for Week 3.||||||| Jennings (knee) had been listed as doubtful.
Jennings was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury.||||||| While many expected Jennings to post big numbers after an impressive campaign last season, he unfortunately won't get that chance.

One of the joys of home gardening is being able to harvest fresh fruit in the summer and fall. Many fruits grow well in our area and require relatively little care and maintenance. However, there is a new invasive intruder that may cause frustration to backyard fruit producers - the spotted wing drosophila.
Angel Doodle Loopie-Lou was quite the mystery.
Labor Day has come and gone, signaling the end of summer. This means the days will be getting shorter, the air will have that crispness of fall and candy corn, much to my friend Hazel's dismay, will flow in abundance. Also, white shoes should have been carefully retired to the back of the closet until next spring's Easter.
This year's wet weather has allowed me to field some interesting calls. One problem in particular I have seen more frequently than usual is the "artillery fungus."
Earlier this month, Lamar and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. By celebrated, I mean he rode his bike all day and Cole and I watched cartoons and made cupcakes.
The Georgia Mountains Master Gardeners would like to invite you to attend their next monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Sept. 9 in Dahlonega. Atlanta garden expert, radio and television host, and writer Walter Reeves will be the guest speaker. He will be presenting on environmentally responsible landscaping.
No one likes a hypocrite.
I had lost it. Like really, really, lost it. I was about to unleash the locusts. It was Saturday night and I could feel my blood boiling in my veins.
This has been a particularly rough summer when it comes to our home garden vegetables. Excessive rainfall has prevented many plants from growing or ripening properly. To make things worse, we also have to deal with insect pests trying to devour the vegetables that did manage to grow. One pest we have to deal with every year is the squash vine borer.
My mojo's been off lately. I don't know what caused it and there are several possible reasons: worst summer ever in my life history, the perpetual rain or just the general sense of loss I have experienced. But my mojo was horribly and devastatingly off kilter.
Earlier this summer, I told my friend Yolande I was cleaning my house so she could come over.
Bagworms are caterpillars that make distinctive "spindle-shaped" bags on a variety of ornamental trees and shrubs throughout Georgia. They have been known to attack both deciduous and evergreen trees, but are most often found on cedar, cypress, arborvitae, juniper, spruce and pine. They can also be seen on deciduous plants, including rose, maple, elm and sycamore.
When I was a child, I thought my Mama was the most awful parent ever. The woman made me watch "Star Trek." This was absolute mind-bending torture. To lure me into her sci-fi trap, Mama often had Ding Dongs or Twinkies and being the chubby kid I was, I would sit and watch as long as the sweets flowed.
We receive calls all year long at the extension office about trees with large, exposed roots. Sometimes these roots will bust up sidewalks and driveways. The most common complaint from homeowners is that the surface roots interfere with the lawn. Exposed roots can cause uneven lumps in the turf, and they can also tear up a lawnmower with one pass.
Maple trees are popular in home landscapes all over Georgia. Some maple species are native to this part of the country, so they naturally do well with limited maintenance.
When you live in a small town, people know you. When you have the privilege of living in a small town in the mountains, people know your dogs, too.
Not many people nowadays are familiar with whole milk, in which the richest part does indeed rise to the top of the container.
I never thought I would be one to homeschool my child.
Marriage has got some pretty bad statistics associated with it. I read something that said the divorce rate percentages were now closer to 60/40 split instead of 50/50.
Have you noticed trees containing unsightly, light-grey webs towards the ends of their branches? These webs contain the fall webworm, a perennial pest of several trees all across North America.
"You lied to me," Cole announced with all seriousness one day.
Perfection is really elusive. Sure, we all want perfect - the perfect body, the perfect smile, the perfect house - and sometimes, we have those moments of perfect, even briefly.
Gardeners who grow fruit crops need to be on the lookout. There is a new invasive intruder that may cause frustration to backyard fruit growers - the spotted wing drosophila.
About this time of year, along the Russian Black Sea coast, radishes can be found in abundance at the open air markets and in all restaurants.
It had been four months since Granny had passed. Not a day had gone by that I hadn't thought of her.
Knowing when to prune different species of plants is a skill that many gardeners fail to grasp. Many plants have an optimal time or season when pruning should be done.
I had signed my child up for swimming lessons before, several years ago. The first day, he loved it, splashing around in the water, making new friends.
Summer is a hot time for weed control issues.
My path was crossed the other day by someone I had not seen in a while, and thankfully so.

The first half of the Tropical Season in the Atlantic Ocean has been pretty insignificant. We are now onto our 8th named storm, which is actually pretty normal in terms of numbers, but it's the intensity of these storms that has been unusual. So far, there hasn't been a single hurricane in the Atlantic (storms with sustained winds greater than 74 mph). There have been a handful of tropical storms, but even those have had very short life spans. This is good news for the millions living in areas that experience these tropical cyclones, but the season may just be heating up. Our newest tropical storm Humberto has formed off the coast of Africa and shows the greatest chances of any storm all season of becoming a hurricane. There is no significant threat to land in the coming days with the exception of the Cape Verde Islands, so coastal impacts are not expected. So why is this significant? This could be the latest we have ever had our first hurricane. Only twice have we gone this long into the tropical storm season before getting to our first hurricane since 1950, with Diana on September 10, 1984 and Gustav on September 11, 2002. IF this storm doesn't reach hurricane status by the end of September 11th, then we will have a new record. Here is the current forecast for Humberto…
Clearly no threat to land, but the forecast does have it strengthening to a hurricane by Wednesday afternoon which would tie the record. So why has this season been so dull despite aggressive predictions?
There are a couple reasons that could be causing a weaker than expected tropical season. The abundance of dry air and dust across much of the Atlantic basin could be to blame with several enormous dust storms rolling off northern Africa. This reduces the amount of available moisture in the atmosphere which creates stability and clearer skies. Another key player may be more wind shear than expected. Wind shear is when winds at different altitudes occur in different speeds and directions, which can snuff out any developing tropical systems. But the truth is… it's a bit of a mystery.
(Here is a summary of the 2013 Atlantic Hurricane Season courtesy of wunderground.com. It looks a bit more active than it was because they tally the Invest storms as well which are basically significant storms that the National Hurricane Center is watching for tropical development. The ones listed here clearly never made the Tropical Depression status or they would have a name.)
But don't let your guard down because the second half of hurricane season is often more active than the first half with ocean temperatures near their peak well into October. There still may be 3 or 4 more hurricanes just weeks away which could have a big impact on whether we think this season was active or just a snooze.

The Lyceum Poll from the University of Texas asks voters every year what they think about a variety of public policy issues.
This year, the poll wanted to know voters' opinions on using Medicaid to cover more Texans.
Governor Rick Perry has repeatedly said "no" to Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act — even though the federal government would pick up all the extra cost for three years — and most of the cost after that.
Poll director Daron Shaw says voters were asked whether they favored Medicaid expansion — even when confronted with arguments that it would cost too much, or that the program is not effective.
"What we found, basically, is that 50 percent said we should take the money and participate in this Medicaid expansion. Forty percent said, no, we shouldn't — that's not what we ought to be doing right now."
Shaw says he would have predicted the opposite — with a majority against expanding Medicaid.
"Because of the public conversation in the state over the last few years, that Texans would oppose participation in a program where the federal government is kinda promoting it."
Shaw says Democrats may use the results during the next legislative session to try to persuade the Governor to accept federal money for Medicaid expansion.

The City of Freeport wants to hear back from its residents on what they think is most important when it comes to housing.
The City plans to apply for grants to go toward housing rehabilitation to help low to moderate income families bring their homes up to code. A requirement of the grant application process is a housing needs survey.
"We are asking that Freeport residents take a few moments to complete the survey. The results will help us present a strong grant application, which will help us bring this much-needed grant funding to our community," Community Development Director Shelly Griswold said.
Residents received copies of the survey in their water and sewer bills. There are also copies available online at the City of Freeport website, as well as in the Community Development Office, 3rd Floor, City Hall, 524 West Stephenson Street.
You can also find the survey online, here. Responses will be taken until February 1.

Why the Landowners Supported NapoleonThe revolution had stripped the land and wealth from the churches and much of the aristocracy and sold it to landowners who were now terrified that royalists, or some sort of comprise government, would strip them of it in turn and restore it. Napoleon thus created a constitution which gave many of these landowners power, and as he said they should retain the land, ensured that they would in turn support him in turn as leader of France.
Why Landowners Wanted an EmperorHowever, the constitution only made Napoleon First Consul for ten years, and people began to fear what would happen when Napoleon left. This allowed him to secure the nomination of the consulship for life in 1802: if Napoleon didn't have to be replaced after a decade, land was safe for longer. Napoleon also used this period to pack more of his men into government while debasing the other structures, further increasing his support. The result was, by 1804, a ruling class which was loyal to Napoleon, but now worrying what would happen on his death, a situation exacerbated by an assassination attempt and their First Consul's habit of leading armies. The expelled French monarchy was still waiting outside the nation, threatening to return all 'stolen' property: could they ever come back, such as had happened in England? The result, enflamed by Napoleon's propaganda and his family, was the idea that the Napoleon's government must be made hereditary so hopefully, on Napoleon's death, an heir who thought like his father would inherit.
Emperor of FranceConsequently, on May 18th 1804 the Senate – who had all been chosen by Napoleon - passed a law making him Emperor of the French (he had rejected king as both too close to the old royal government, and not ambitious enough) and his family were made hereditary heirs. A plebiscite was held, worded so that if Napoleon had no children – as he hadn't at that point – either another Bonaparte would be selected or he could adopt an heir. The result of the vote looked convincing on paper (3.5 million for, 2500 against), but it had been massaged at all levels, such as automatically casting yes votes for everyone in the military.
On December 2nd 1804 the Pope was present as Napoleon was crowned: as agreed beforehand, he placed the crown on his own head (and on his wife Josephine's as Empress.) Over the next few years the Senate and Napoleon's Council of State dominated the government of France – which in effect meant just Napoleon – and the other bodies withered away. Although the constitution didn't require Napoleon to have a son, he wanted one, and so divorced his first wife and married Marie-Louise of Austria. They swiftly had a son: Napoleon II, King of Rome. He would never rule France.

Cancer Society opens new office in Abbotsford
The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) celebrated the grand opening of its new office on Friday in Abbotsford.
The society is now open at #100A 32660 George Ferguson Way, having relocated from its previous location at 31935 South Fraser Way.
Local dignitaries on hand for the celebration and ribbon-cutting included Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong, Mayor Bruce Banman, and Coun. Moe Gill, as well as several representatives from the regional and local branches of the Cancer Society.
Banman commended the work of the CCS in drawing people together in the fight against cancer.
"It takes a community to get together to help create awareness, to help pull together to raise funds towards a cure," he said.
De Jong, whose office is just a few doors down from the new CCS location, welcomed the agency "to the neighbourhood."
He said there are "intensely exciting" days ahead following the federal government's announcement of an increase in tobacco taxes and the sharing of those proceeds with the CCS for research and other initiatives.
For more information about the CCS and its services and programs in Abbotsford, call 604-852-1410 or visit cancer.ca.

So Paris Saint-Germain didn't manage to snap up Thiago Silva from AC Milan, despite offering close to €50m for the defender. But now the big spenders are back with a sweeter offer: we'll take Zlatan Ibrahimovic off your hands, for the cool price of €65m for both the Swede and the Brazilian.
At first, the economics of this don't make sense: pay nearly €50m for Thiago Silva, but just €15m more gets you Zlatan? Then you realise that Ibra is on €12m per year with the rossoneri -- getting him off the books will free up a lot of cash to splurge on another great centre forward (although if you believe the rumours that that striker might be Andy Carroll, I suggest you may wish to adjust your dosage).
L'Equip is reporting that Ibra has agreed 'in principle' to the deal with PSG, but it'll all come down to what they're willing to offer in wages. Remember, PSG -- an Ibra means a title. Think about it.
