Having a home emergency plan paid off for a Camas family whose 10-year-old daughter was home sick from school when burglars broke in Tuesday.
Paityn Mock's mother, Jenn, had just left to pick up lunch when burglars rang the doorbell of their home on Northeast 10th Street.
The fifth grader didn't answer the door, instead calling her mom. While on the phone, Paityn became aware that someone had broken into the house. She briefly hid in the pantry until a 911 operator told her to get out of the house.
"They told me to get out of the house as quickly as I could. Then that's when I saw the kid," Paityn said.
With two men -- one who Paityn described as being a teenager -- ransacking the home, Paityn ran out the garage door and hid behind a nearby tree. The family believes the men cut a screen in the master bedroom in order to break in.
Clark County Sheriff's deputies arrested a man sitting in a stolen car outside of the house. In the car, deputies found drugs and stolen guns.
Deputies are still looking for more suspects who left behind a pillow case full of jewelry.

an equinox celebration
we changed over the nature table from summer to fall. here's summer (this was taken before it was at it's most bountiful, but you get the idea).
fall pictures to come when there is more to see. it's always so fun to clear the table and watch it fill with new little treasures and delights from the outside world. it's a slow process and one that we savor.
then it was outside to light a fire and sing some "fall is here" songs while we collected some kindling.
we tried popping some corn, but it was only marginally successful. bb tried hard to make me feel better about it. "no, mommy, it's really yummy!"
and of course who can resist making s'mores when there is an outdoor fire in the midst!?
and now we can look forward to all the goodness of fall. the apple picking. the applesauce making. the lantern walk at bb's school. the sweaters we can unpack. the leaves we can jump in and harvest festivals we can go to. the pumpkins we can carve. we love it!
what are you looking forward to this fall? do you have any special family traditions?

Here's something to consider when you're pouring that first cup of coffee in the morning.
A new study shows that drinking at least three cups of java a day could increase your risk of developing glaucoma.
Researchers found that getting a certain type of glaucoma, called ex-foliation glaucoma, goes up 66-percent for those who drink more than three cups of caffeinated coffee a day.
However, the same result was not found in other caffeinated beverages such as soda or tea.
The lead researcher says the results still needs to be confirmed through more studies.

Now that football season is over and basketball is moving their way into SEC play, it is time to start thinking about Crimson Tide Baseball. Last season the Tide finished 10th nationally in attendance. They averaged 4,010 fans per contest. This season the Tide will hit the field under new leadership in Coach Mitch Gaspard. This has increased the level of enthusiasm in many fans. Bama will be led on the field by two Pre-Season All-Americans. Third baseman Jake Smith was named Louisville Slugger/Collegiate Baseball All-American. This is the third time he has been named a PSAA. Second baseman Ross Wilson was named first-team Pre-Season All-American by Ping. Along with the two All-Americans, the Tide returns a bevy of talent. This includes Shortstop Josh Rutledge. Last season Rutledge batted .353 with 9HR's. Alabama has arguably the best MIF in college baseball. Another key returnee is Sophomore OF Taylor Dugas. He was Freshman All-American last season, and he is the lone returning starter in the OF.
Not only is the outlook great for the 2010 season, but Coach Gaspard has brought in one of the top recruiting classes in the nation for next season (More on that later).
You can look for a change in play with the new regime in place. While Bama still has the bats to have big innings, look for them to play more small ball this year. CMG has said on many occasions that you will see the team be more aggressive on the base paths and do more bunt and runs and hit and runs than they have in the past. Throughout fall practice quite a few players were injured due to the more aggressive style of play, but no one is expect to miss any time in the Spring. You can also look for improvement on the mound with new pitching coach Kyle Bunn. Gaspard hired Bunn away from traditional baseball powerhouse Clemson. However, Bunn is no stranger to the SEC. He spend six years as an assistant at Ole Miss.
You can also expect to see some changes to the stadium in the next couple years. The change is supposed to be coming in three phases. The first phase will not be visible to the public. It is including moving the home dugout to the third base side of the field and building a new lounge for the players and renovating the locker room. The second phase is supposed to be adding outdoor batting cages and improving the outdoor side pitcher's mounds. The third phase is said to be cosmetic upgrades to the outside of the stadium. All of these upgrades are welcome and long overdue. Alabama is notorious for having the worst baseball facilities of any baseball team in the SEC. The changes have been promised for a long time, but when it comes time for construction to begin, the powers that be always say that the money isn't there. Hopefully with Nick Saban wanting every program to succeed on the level that the football team is, the baseball team will get the resources that they need to return to Omaha.
The 2010 season kicks of February 20 against South Alabama. The schedule also includes non-conference games against teams such as Samford, UAB, Jacksonville State, Michigan State, and regular NCAA Tournament team Minnesota. The SEC home slate includes Vanderbilt, Auburn, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Florida. Go out and support the Tide this season as they try to make it back to Omaha for the first time since 1999.

Steel in the News
Back to all posts
Posted by Tasha Weiss on October 25, 2013 at 12:01 PM.
Here's MSC's October Steel Structure Trivia question! The steel bascule bridge pictured above, as it was being raised during a spring boat run to Lake Michigan, is one of four "modern" (post-1950) bascule bridges in downtown Chicago and celebrates its 50th anniversary on Sunday. (The first movable bridge in the city was also built at this location in 1834.) What is the name of this Chicago Loop bridge? Photo: Courtesy of Jim Phillips
The name of this Chicago Loop bridge is the Dearborn Street Bridge. Congratulations to our winner: Christopher Cichon, a structural associate with Sargent & Lundy in Chicago.
The current bridge at N. Dearborn Street marked 50 years of service last Sunday, October 27.
In 1963, then Mayor Richard J. Daley presided over the ceremony marking the opening of the bridge. According to the Chicago Tribune report of the event, no speeches were given; only a hand signal from the Mayor. The bridge was lowered into place and a procession consisting of a single Cadillac followed by about 20 cyclists crossed the bridge. Seventeen minutes later, regular traffic started flowing across the bridge.
The steel bascule bridge was a replacement for a Scherzer rolling-lift bascule removed in 1959. The first movable bridge in Chicago was also built at this location in 1834 (see the plaque pictured left which is located on the northeast corner of the present bridge). That bridge was a double-leaf bridge similar to today's bridge, but with the limitations of technology at the time.
The current Dearborn Street Bridge is the fourth at this location and one of four "modern" (post 1950) bascule bridges in downtown Chicago. These bridges are most easily identified by their single bridgehouse. As with several other downtown bridges, the bridge received a Merit award by AISC when it was completed.
For more information about the Dearborn Street Bridge, contact Jim Phillips (who provided this commentary) at 312.540.0696, or visit his www.chicagoloopbridges.com website, which features multimedia pages for all of the Chicago Loop bridges.
You can test your steel structure knowledge right here on our MSC website on the last Friday of each month, where a new photo will be posted to the Steel in the News section as our weekly "Steel Shot." Your challenge is to correctly answer the trivia question provided in the news post, based on what you see in the photo. The next question will be posted at noon CST on Friday, November 22 (moved up due to the Thanksgiving holiday the following week).

Mike Frascogna Jr. talks with a customer who purchased a copy of his book "Bull Cyclone Sullivan and The Lions of Scooba, Mississippi" on Saturday at Books-A-Million in Columbus. Frascogna wrote the book with his sons, Mike III and Marty, about Sullivan, the longtime football coach at East Mississippi Junior College. More than a dozen of Sullivan's former players and member of the EMJC football program in Sullivan's tenure, including former West Point and Columbus High head football coach Bubba Davis, attended the event. Photo by: Adam Minichino Buy this photo.
December 18, 2010 6:56:00 PM
Robert "Bull" Sullivan has been called the "toughest coach there ever was."
The former East Mississippi Junior College football coach was known to line his players up on the edge of a snake- and alligator-infested pond for drills, order them to attend 2 a.m. practice sessions and play their way through aches and pains that would sideline many opponents.
But Sullivan, who coached at EMJC throughout the 1950s and 1960s, also had a compassionate side, said Kline Shepherd, who played for Sullivan in 1952 at EMJC''s Scooba campus. Shepherd recalls a time when he was injured and on crutches. Sullivan picked his player up and carried him up a flight of stairs, then ordered other players to get him whatever he needed, Shepherd recalled Saturday.
"He was a great man," Shepherd said.
Shepherd and more than a dozen other former EMJC players under Sullivan were at Books-A-Million in Leigh Mall in Columbus on Saturday to sign copies of author Mike Frascogna Jr.''s book on Sullivan, "Bull Cyclone Sullivan and The Lions of Scooba, Mississippi." Frascogna wrote the book about Sullivan based on more than 100 interviews with former players, opponents and family members. The stories give a glimpse into the life and coaching methods of the Alabama native.
"The goal of this (book) was just to bring to people''s attention this ''backwoods Bear,'' which was his nickname," Frascogna said. "This guy was every bit as talented as (former University of Alabama coach Paul) ''Bear'' Bryant, but he was stuck off down in East Mississippi with no media around him. But, as far as being a football genius, he was. He was just as smart as any of the iconic coaches you hear about today from back in that era."
Frascogna, a lawyer, said he had trouble believing many of the stories he heard about Sullivan when he was doing research for two books he wrote with his sons, "Gridiron Gold" and "Y''all vs. Us," but nearly all were verified when he interviewed Sullivan''s former players for the book about the coach.
One story that made it into the book, however, is not true, said Vic Sullivan, Robert''s son. A story about Sullivan''s role in getting the Browns to play a game in Little Rock, Ark., was "just a rumor," Vic Sullivan said Saturday as his father''s former players laughed and exchanged memories.
The book-signing in Columbus was the last on a tour this year which took Frascogna and the former players to events in Starkville, Louisville, Meridian and Jackson, said East Mississippi Community College Director of Development and Alumni Affairs Nick Clark. The book already is sold out, but a second printing is under way and new editions should be available in mid January, Clark said.
"It has been very, very successful," Clark said. "We are extremely proud of the book and the way it has been received by everybody. It has been fantastic."

RNAS Culdrose Air Day Cancelled This YearTags: Air Day, Culdrose
One of Cornwall's major public events has been cancelled for 2012.
RNAS Culdrose's Air Day, which is usually held in July, is the only opportunity for the public to experience a working military Naval Air Station
A spokesman for Culdrose, which is based in Helston, said the runway was being resurfaced this summer.
Culdrose also said too many staff would be on frontline operations, as well as on duty at the London Olympics.
The base's Commanding Officer, Capt Willie Entwisle said that the popular event would return next year.
"Air Day is a very important event in the Culdrose calendar, therefore the decision has involved much deliberation.
"We appreciate that many will be disappointed with this news. My team has already started working towards developing an Air Day for the summer of 2013."

What a shame about the Air Day.
I bet it will be the first day in years when it is glorious sunshine though!!

The end of the year is approaching for many of us. A lucky few might even be out already. But in order to reach the big payoff - summer vacation - we have to deal with the stresses that the last few weeks bring: end of the year exams, summer schools lists, parents who do not understand why their children are failing, rooms to be cleaned and items to be stored, accounts to be reconciled, and many more items that I'm sure I missed. And of course your personal life continues to move forward through all of this. Heaven forbid you get sick at this time of year!
So how can educators handle all of this stress? Unfortunately there is not one answer. However, we can find a lot of relief by practicing a positive attitude towards all of the problems facing us. This makes all of the difference.
Causes of Stress
Teachers today are expected to fulfill so many roles, not the least of which is to actually teach. In many places throughout the country they are to perform their 'duties' with very little pay. In what other job with a Master's Degree are you earning barely $6000 more after 10 years of experience than when you first started?
As the school year nears its end, many teachers find other roles being thrust upon them. Their duties increase while they still have to deal with grading assignments, writing tests, and of course teaching class. Let's look at a few of the reasons why the end of the year might cause stress:
- Too much work - Not only are teachers figuring out final grades, but they are also cleaning their rooms, gathering lesson plans, and performing numerous other required tasks.
- Time pressures and deadlines - Just remembering the deadlines for everything from failure notices to final grades everything can be a real chore.
- Apparent lack of support - Sometimes the administrative staff is less than supportive of the myriad problems faced by the classroom teacher at the end of the year. They too have items they have to complete before the year ends and teachers' concerns sometimes take a back seat.
- Unclear expectations - This can occur with new teachers or teachers at a new school who are not sure what the end of the year procedures are.
- Responsibility for students' grades - Even though as teachers we know that students EARN their grades, it often feels that parents and students place failing grades on the shoulders of the teachers. This is especially compounded in Senior Year where the grade means the difference between a diploma and no diploma
- Disruptions - You've just sat down at the end of the day to work on those research papers and realize that a meeting has been called. Unfortunately, many responsibilities exist outside of the classroom that require attention.

I recently bought some of this film and I am looking forward to making some filters with it. I have an 8" Dob that I want to make a filter for, but in doing my research I'm finding mixed advice about whether I should go full-aperture or not. I am currently leaning towards making a 4" off-axis filter out of foam board. It seems that, with something as bright as the sun, that should be plenty, but I guess I have to consider that relatively little light will make it through the film. The film I bought has 0.00001 transmission. This is not listed as a percentage, so I assume it is out of 1.0. Doing some rough calculation (which is probably incorrect), it should reduce the apparent magnitude of the sun by 13. If the sun is -27, then even with the solar film, it should appear to be -14 in brightness. Therefore, 4" of aperture should be plenty. This is why I'm leaning towards stopping my aperture down. Maybe even 1-2" would be enough?
Btw, the way I arrived at 13 was log(0.0001) / log(2). There might be a flaw in my logic here.

Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha said he's the defendant of the downtrodden. Friday, he stood up for those who he said couldn't be at the legislature, mountain lions.
"We're all part of the physical universe and my obligation as I see it is to look after every aspect of it I can that needs looking after," he said.
Chambers is fighting to repeal mountain lion hunting in Nebraska. Currently, the rule is only four can be hunted a year, two each season. If hunters shoot a female, the season ends immediately.
If this bill becomes law, it will be illegal for hunters to shoot mountain lions for game, but the bill would allow a person to kill a mountain lion that is a threat to them or their livestock.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission said they're remaining neutral on the situation and they trust the legislature's decision.
"They provide the guidance for us in terms of how we operate and how we set seasons and if they change direction, we'll change direction without a mountain lion season," deputy director Tim McCoy said.
Some senators representing rural towns, however, beg to differ.
"There's a lot of space between one house to another, farmstead to another farmstead, and it is frightening for a lot of people when you see a mountain lion," Sen. John Harms said.
Even with the mixed reviews, Senator Chambers' bill passed the first round by a landslide: 31 ayes and five nays.
"You'll never see me do this again, thanks for the vote," Chambers said.
In 2012, Nebraska Game and Parks estimated a population of about 22 mountain lions. Now the bill will go to the second round of debate. They can vote to officially pass it in the third round.

Carbon Hill last made a regional tournament in 1998 when the Bulldogs lost to UMS-Wright 71-44 in the Southwest regional, which was held in Bay Minette, 13 years ago.
That streak ends today.
The Bulldogs will take on Clements High School at 7:30 p.m. in the Northwest Regional Tournament at Wallace State-Hanceville.
The game will mark Carbon Hill's fourth ever region trip.
The 6th-ranked Bulldogs are hoping to turn their luck around after an 0-3 stint all time in region play. Carbon Hill's last visit to the Northwest regional was in 1996 when the Bulldogs fell to Lauderdale County 78-60.
In 1997, the Bulldogs lost to top-ranked Francis Marion 67-65.
Carbon Hill (28-1) enters today's contest riding a five-game win streak after topping Hanceville 53-37 in the Class 3A sub regional at Carbon Hill.
Clements enter the game at 17-13 having won three of its last four.

UFC women's bantamweight champion has a well-deserved reputation for just saying what she thinks, and that trend continued recently. In a recent interview with the Las Vegas Review Journal, Rousey was asked about a variety of subjects including judo, her "bad girl attitude". But without a doubt, the most interesting comments she made were in reference to the UFC welterweight champion, Georges St. Pierre.
GSP is, of course, immensely popular in the MMA world. He has taken a lot of criticism for his lack of finish over the past few years though, and Rousey was quick to characterize him as "boring". She said as much last year as well. She was very respectful towards him, and said she had nothing against him personally. But she just doesn't like to watch his fights.
She then brought up the fact that people say she wouldn't have got as far as she has without being attractive, and turned the tables on it by saying St. Pierre was the same way. She said that if he wasn't "really good looking" and "really Canadian" (since Canadian fans are so patriotic), that he'd be an unknown.
I guess she has a point - Canadians are fanatical about repping their own, and GSP might not be as popular if he looked like an ogre. But 18 UFC wins (including eight finishes) and a gaggle of successful title defenses have also helped him because the biggest PPV draw in the company.
Rousey will defend her title in the main event of UFC 157 against Liz Carmouche, while GSP defends his against Nick Diaz in the main event of UFC 158.

Microgaming Add Sites To Poker NetworkFriday, October 30th, 2009
There are plenty of big movements happening over at the Poker Network that is connected to the online casino software developer giant Microgaming. It seems that the latest news this time around is that Mansion88.com and 5050Poker.com are joining up with the casino poker network. This is sure to come as fabulous news to fans of online casinos and poker rooms who have been hoping that this deal would come to pass for quite some time. Based in the Philippines, Mansion88.com and 5050Poker.com, registered in Malta, are two sites that have gained the privilege f membership into this awesome poker network almost solely through the response that the folks who run the show at Microgaming have received through feedback opportunities that they are willing to provide to their bevy of loyal players.
This is the sort of thing that does not happen often with online casinos and poker rooms. Most network additions happen as a result of some research and marketing committee sitting in some back room of some high-rise somewhere. But things are different with this deal. Customer feedback is a driving force for the changes and products that are implemented among the different operations that comprise Microgaming.
It is a commitment to this customer-focused strategy that has allows the casino and poker gambling software empire to succeed at the level that it enjoys. This is not something to take for granted, but it is definitely something that players should be quick to take full advantage of. They are working on some growth and expansion opportunities and these latest additions are just a small aspect of this endeavor.

Mild depression enhances 'mind reading'
Mildly depressed people have an enhanced ability to make subtle judgments about other people's emotions, beliefs and intentions, suggests research conducted at Queen's.
"Our findings indicate that individuals in a persistent negative mood may be especially motivated to understand the mental states of others. This hypersensitivity may have evolved as a strategy to try to solve interpersonal problems or minimize social risk, and may be driven more by a motivation to maintain interpersonal relationships than an altered cognitive ability," explains Kate Harkness, a professor in the Department of Psychology.
Dr. Harkness, along with research colleagues Jill Jacobson and Mark Sabbagh, found that individuals with very mild depression performed best on a task designed to measure sensitivity to others' mental states when they were led to believe that their performance had implications for their interpersonal relationships. In contrast, non-depressed individuals only improved their accuracy on the task when a monetary reward was at stake.
However, this enhanced 'mind-reading' skill that accompanies mild depression may come with a cost. Dr. Harkness notes that people with mild depression often have profound deficits in their day-to-day social functioning.
"This research raises an intriguing paradox," notes Dr. Harkness. "How can a strong motivation to understand other people's minds, and greater accuracy in decoding others' mental states, go along with poor functioning in these people's actual social relationships?"
Dr. Harkness and her colleagues hope to address this paradox in their future work, but they hypothesize that decoding every emotional state of relationship partners can be problematic, especially if mildly depressed individuals make negative attributions about those emotional states.
"If I attached meaning to every fleeting emotion you experienced, over time that would likely wear on our relationship," explains Dr. Harkness. "It might be better to live in blissful ignorance of these subtle and fleeting emotional shifts that we all undergo, but which ultimately may be meaningless."
This research was published recently in Cognition and Emotion.

text: Spoke with a friend briefly last night and he went to the Hooks game yesterday. He had mentioned that Jason Stoffel was putting up some pretty decent numbers in a very small sample size and was hoping to see him make an appearance which he did and my friend said he really liked what he saw. I remember that he came over with Henry Sosa in the Keppy deal with SF. At the time of the trade I recall a few Giants fans stating that they thought he had real closer potential and thought they overpaid for Keppinger by throwing him in with Sosa. I haven't really thought about him since the trade until my friend mentioned him to me. Anyone else seen him or heard anything about him? Certainly seems like someone we should keep an eye on if he continues to put up similar numbers.

Passions for Wine and the West Inspire This Custom Pennsylvania Wine Cellar
Vigilant | March 19, 2012
In the eastern Pennsylvania town of Bethlehem, Vigilant Woodworks created this picture-perfect custom wine cellar in a sprawling, western-ranch style home. The wood and stone accents used throughout the house were integrated into the spacious wine cellar, including a slightly vaulted wooden ceiling and custom stonework on the walls and columns.[caption id="attachment_1259" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Stemware storage and single-bottle displays are featured in these racks constructed against a rustic brick wall.[/caption]
The wine cellar has a capacity of 2600 bottles in a variety of racks and displays, including individual bottle storage for different bottle sizes, high reveal and vertical bottle displays, diamond bins and hanging stemware storage. Custom radius crown and floor moldings complete the picture. There is a full-height ladder system for easy access to the higher storage areas. Because this unique wine cellar has viewing windows on three sides, some of the angled bottle displays were designed to show labels to the inside and outside of the wine room. The mahogany French-style entrance doors feature two 30" sidelights.[caption id="attachment_1258" align="aligncenter" width="400"] French-style entrance doors with 30" sidelights let daylight into the interior. This wine cellar has viewing windows on three sides.[/caption]
The centerpiece of this wine cellar is a 32" highly distressed solid mahogany and glass Tuscan table with stemware storage. The table and all the other wooden racks and displays were finished in Vigilant's Shaker Maple stain, giving the room a warm, rich glow. The result is an impressive showcase for the homeowners' admitted passions: wine and the West.
[caption id="attachment_1265" align="aligncenter" width="400"] A full-height ladder system allows access to the taller racks and displays.[/caption]
(Designed and manufactured in the USA by Vigilant Woodworks; installed by Gallagher Custom Wine Cellars.)

Well the Bobcats had no luck last night and lost Davis to the Hornets. They are now in trouble, because that second pick is not where they want to be. If I am Charlotte, I would look at trading the 2nd for more picks. It is possible they look to do that and Houston can jump on this opportunity. Houston can offer both their 14th and 16th picks as well as Kyle Lowry. Who do you think says no to that offer? Would you willing to give up 2 mid picks plus Lowry for number 2? Would you only give number 14 and Lowry? And yes, I do realize that Portland can trade their 2 lottery picks as well.
Let's hear what RedNation has to say!

Leon Bouvier, assistant professor of sociology, was quoted in an article in today's New York Times regarding the changing face of suburbia in the United States. The article, "90s Suburbs of West and South: Denser in One, Sprawling in Other," appears on the newspaper's front page.
Bouvier, a demographer and an expert on the U.S. census, said in the article that the geographical definition of suburb is outdated and has to be changed. He added that the country is "starting to fill in places we never expected, a kind of sprawl beyond sprawl as one suburb stretches out to meet another."
A member of the Old Dominion faculty since last year, Bouvier was a senior fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies since 1991 and served as director of the Program in Immigration and Population Change at the center since 1995. Prior to that, he served as director and vice president for demographic research and policy analysis at the Population Reference Bureau and held a number of academic positions, including a visiting appointment at Old Dominion from 1988-90. Bouvier received a Ph.D. and a master's degree in sociology from Brown University and a bachelor's degree in sociology/history from Spring Hill College.

What our 2012 Röyals have to do
Right now, our batters/fielders are at 18.5 WAR, eighth in the AL, but well ahead of number nine Cleveland. And, you know, Detroit's at 19.0, the Angels at 19.3, and Toronto at 20.9. It'd be great if the Röyals could add 3 WAR at this time next year, hopefully from increased performance by Moose, Sal, Johnny G, and Hos. And Lorenzocaine. Assume a moderate amount of regression from guys who had great 2010 seasons and a moderate amount of progression from the guys brought up from the minors. We could easily be #5 in the AL next year regarding field player contribution. Ah, but the pitching. 11th in the AL with a 10.6 WAR. Last place in the league is 6.4. Now, there are seven clubs hovering around 14.0 WAR, so that means we need to get into that mix if we want to compete. Gotta add at least 4 more WAR from the pitching. That means two real starting pitchers and a third washed-up 2 WAR bum to go with the washed-up bums and rookies we have. Do that and we'll be about average in the league. Either that or try stacked starters. I honestly think we could compete in the division next year if we add some smart pitching pickups. Or even bid on Wilson. Or use Cain or Melky or Myers as bait and see what you get offered.

John Cohen had some uphill battles to fight when he took over for Ron Polk at MSU following the 2008 season. His first two years did not live up to the standard Mississippi St. fans were used to.
MSU went (25-29) in 2009 and did not make the NCAA tournament. In 2010 they went (23-33) and finished just (6-24) in SEC play. There was worry starting to creep in that Cohen was not the right hire.
Meanwhile the State skipper and his staff were working hard on the recruiting trail, selling to players their vision of what the program could eventually be.
The turnaround started late in the 2011 season when MSU finally returned to post-season play and even went to Atlanta and won a regional.
They followed that up in 2012 with an SEC tournament title. The foundation was laid for what is happening right now, as Mississippi St. returned to Omaha for the first time since 2007 and is now playing for their first NCAA title.

And Then Came Frank1 Reviews
Mikey has a new boyfriend
"Tell me everything that has been going on, and don't tell me nothing has been going on. I know something has been. I don't like secrets." Elena sounded mad, I could tell in her ice blue eyes she was. Her lips were a thin line, it reminded me of Mom. I almost cried thinking this.
"I don't know what you are talking about Grandma. I really don't" Gerard lied to her. She was too smart
"What is going on with Bert? What is going on with Mikey? I know something wrong was with Mikey. You're father's gun had finger prints on it. Mikey, what happened?" Grandma looked at me, her blue eyes full of sorrow. This was going to hurt her so much, the truth. She is not going to trust me by myself for awhile.
"Grandma, I tired to commit suicide a while ago, after Mom and Dad….were kil…when they left us." I couldn't bring myself to say killed or died. "Gerard talked me out of it though, he helped me so much Grandma, he really did." I told her, I could feel the tears around my eyes as I told her this.
She looked in shock, she blue eyes seemed to be bathed in different emotions to the point where I couldn't read them. Even Gerard, who could read emotions so easily, had trouble telling what Grandma was feeling. But when she spoke, she voice shook with sadness. "Mikey, why didn't you tell me that you were feeling this way? You know you can trust me." When she said the last part, Elena sounded hurt.
It was after that Gerard and I felt bad about keeping this from her. We told her everything. About me drinking and cutting. About that night Gerard helped me, and about Gerard's relationship with Bert and why I did what I did. She took it all in, and was silent long after we were done telling her. She was letting it soak in.
"Well, I don't want anymore secrets in this house. We are a family and we shouldn't have to hide things from each other! I love you boys so much, I want nothing bad to happen to you two, you are all I have from Kelly and John. You boys mean the world to me. No more secrets, okay?" Grandma informed us.
(2 months later)
We have been together for one month now. I was happy with him, extremely. And even though where we lived, people were opposed to our love, we still held hands. I walked to his locker so we walk home together. "Hey baby" I said, I could hear my own beam in my voice. He really made me happy.
"Hey honey" Frank said, giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Yeah, I know it isn't Gerard, but I still like Frank. He was so welcoming. I feel like I could tell him anything, and he would still be by my side. Even though he had a crush on my sibling, he told me he loved me more.
We walked hand and hand and we were met by the normal cat calls of "faggots" "fucks" "emos" and "worthless scum". Oh, how I love those. Those welcoming words from the rednecks that live in our town. We walked up to my door and stopped.
"I have to go home tonight, my mom is in need of help with the babies." Frank laughed, oh how I loved his laugh.
"Okay, see you later then." I smiled, as the setting sun hit my face. Frank moved closer to me. "What are yo…" I was silenced with Frank's lips. I have never kissed anyone before. I liked it, I liked it a lot. His lips were hard and chapped, but I like it for some reason. He parted my lips with his, he put his arms around my neck and I put mine around his waist. We stayed like this for I don't know how long. But, while I was kissing him, time seemed to stop. The whole world seemed to disappear. I loved it, and it made me love Frank even more. When he pulled back, Frank was smiling. The sun shone on his face, making his eyes light up.
"I'll see you tomorrow baby" He said and he kissed me on the cheek. He walked in the direction of his house. I stood there for a few minutes and walked in the house. I heard Gerard singing, most likely a song he wrote. I walked upstairs and right as I was about to enter my room, my elder brother called me in to his room.
"What is it?" I asked, I looked at him. He looked worried.
Gerard responded "Mikey, I…oh god, you're gonna hate me for this. Mikes, I have something really important to tell you."

The master bedroom has a queen sized bed and provides a wonderful breeze through the room.
The bunkhouse has 2 sets of bunk beds, one queen and one single, providing ample room for a family to sleep. Recently remodeled with tongue-in-groove paneling, providing a natical feel to the room.
Plenty of room in the kitchen to cook up a great fish fry for the whole gang or cook outside on the Weber barbeque grill. Two picnic tables outside along with a full kitchen table inside allow for amble room for everyone and the neighbors to eat.
The yard is very large with over 80' of waterfront to the property. The kids will love fishing off the end of the dock, taking the paddle boat to the nearby islands or playing ball in the yard. A campfire down by the water is wonderful at night for star gazing.
The wildlife is abundant with great fishing, watch the deer swim to the islands or listen to the loons first thing in the morning.

Mt. Pleasant is nearby providing lots of adult fun at the casino (child care available as well) or catch a great concert. Central Michigan University is only a stone-throw away, so come and stay for the weekend and catch a football game.

These were three trees between me and the Pacific Ocean, a few blocks away. On a glorious red sunset, I knew exactly how to grow them in my forever garden repetoire. The fronds are of traditional and upholstery fabrics. The "dates" are various non-precious stones and beads. The vining that dangles is made of every hand embroidery stitch suitable. Only the background is machine pieced. All else is entirely handwork. Rug hooking canvas lines the inside, with the batting, adding support and longevity to the work. Private collection.

Thank you. God lit the scene, and I copied it in my sketchbook, then an art quilt. It was a blast. This is one of my favorites and I do not own it. It has a sister almosted finished. That quilt is a blue-orange theme. Aparantly (sp?) I am doing a series called Palm Prints, like finger prints. It is multi-media and has been really fun to work on. It keeps growing unexpectedly, lol. Thee will be a third one with the purple-orange colors. That particular Palm Print group is called as a working title. I don't like it for a title at all. Eventually more creative, and imaginative title will develop. Let's see if I can load a pic of the blue-orange in progress.
Well! That's not where the pic was supposed to show up in this dialogue! It's here though. There will beading and embroidery below the fronds of the palm, as in the red-green Palm Print. Likewise the thirds will have the need for the embroidery and beaded dates. Living now in FL, the resouces are plentiful, and one gem has already delighted me. It is a very yellow palm. With the lavender sky, well there you have it. I will be posting the progress on these as they come along on here and my blogspot. Search for me and you will find me.
Thanks again and thanks for joining the fun group. We are very busy and do not get much time to write. I talk a lot, and y'all are some of who I talk to a lot. I just get excited about life, and the opportunity to be an artist and getting to play at it. Whee! Off to do the paperwork that goes with the play, now. Bye.
This is so cool!

Tiwari's suggestion for Kansa!
I told him I had more important work to do like running the nation. I also told him that I am a Sardarji Economist Prime Minister and I eat parathas for breakfast!

From Raj Kapoor to Deepa Mehta
I have been scanning for channels for the Al-Qaeda number two's new video.
I spoke to Natwar last evening. I told him if he maligns the congress party by telling the truth, Soniaji will never take him back.
Have a good weekend. Do not drink too much. Drive carefully. Males in Delhi are specifically requested to not rape anyone. Police force in Mumbai is also requested to refrain from raping. Arjun should maintain his stoic silence over the weekend…and for the rest of his life.
May 1st we will start with Court hearings, Water and Medha Watt!
Talking about "Water", Ventakesh my valet told me that Deepa's movie has Lisa Ray in it. From Raj Kapoor to Deepa Mehta, the challenges of the Indian censor board have not changed.

Turban around my mouth!
I will tie my turban around my mouth for the next few days. Elections commissioner is on the prowl. I do not want to run the nation during election time and get trapped by him!
Election commission not happy with SEBI
Nandan ko gusa kyo ata hai?
Some of the banks under SEBI scanner are ICICI Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, UTI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Indusind Bank, Citibank, Stock Holding Corporation Of India, BNP Paribas, SSKI Investor Services and UCO Bank. Rs 3 million reward announced to name a bank which is not in the list of banned DP's.
Election commission may notice this strong act of regulation, integrity and honesty as a political ploy. May equate it to an offer of free rice for one life time!
Nice to be home! I really feel like a Prime Minister today. Rahul is in UP!

Opal Mehta is Sloppy First due to a Second Helping from neighbors' plate!
I am back in Indian and need such dreams. So does Nepal, Sir Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan….we need to move to a better neighborhood.
Harvard sophomore Kaavya Viswanathan's plagiarized some sections for her book 'How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life', from two novels. Megan F. McCafferty, the 2001 book 'Sloppy Firsts' and the 2003 novel 'Second Helpings'. The campus newspaper the Harvard Crimson broke this story. I am impressed. Have these chaps running the Harvard Crimson heard of Bollywood?
Lalu told me that he will be careful while writing his memoirs. Inadvertently plagiarizing from memoirs of other Bihari leaders may tarnish his image as an intellectual. Other Bihari leader? Must have meant Rabri! or is it Chanakya?
Wednesday, April 26, 2006
Importance in Uzbekistan!
Trouble in brewing in Lanka! I have always been suggesting that Indian should move to a better neighborhood.
I heard medical students demonstrated in front of Arjun's house. Arjun told them he would meet their representatives only if 49.5 % of them were from the reserved category.
I am also worried about Pramod Mahajan's health. But this is the only thing which I can not act on so I will quit worrying and pray. Good Man, God Help him.
Dating in Tashkent
Lal Bahadur Shastri had a date with death here.
Nepal is now ruled by the opposition which has the Maoist as their opposition. Managing opposition to the opposition is good for the ruling party but in this case the ruling party is also the opposition.
Maoists are not Chinese. Thanks for the information Venkat…I always thought they were from Bihar.

Angela Merkel will get her visa on time!
King Gyanendra of Nepal announced he was recalling parliament. All seven opposition parties will be in the parliament, who will sit on the treasury benches? Quite a situation in Nepal as the country is run by opposition. I will watch this from Tashkent.
Ventakesh, my valet got me a note with the future of English on it "Haha JK!!! JK 4EVR! U R SO LOL – SOL!!! U R SBC CIA! NBC FBI FUBAR? NATO; BFF!!! :)" Amazing!
Monday, April 24, 2006
Fair Deal
I do not think I will get my agenda fairly complete out here.
I hope my Tashkent visit will be better, fairly better than this.
Saturday, April 22, 2006
Pramod will be back soon!
Maoist PM!
I told the chaps from the civil service they need to see themselves more than administrators. I actually wanted to tell them to stop taking bribes.
Maoist leader in Nepal called up Yechury, as soon as the king invited the seven party coalition to nominate a Prime Minister in Nepal. 'Keeping the Maoists out of the frame will make Nepal ungovernable," Yechury said. I will have to get my history right. In which part of the world Maoist and Communist exemplify democratic progress?
Friday, April 21, 2006
All Surnames changed to Shah!
My cook Tiwari has suggested that we should all change our surnames. He said that preferred stock broker surnames like "Shah" or "Mehta" would do the job. Then how will anyone know a person is SC/ST/OBC?
Union Minister for Social Justice Meera Kumari is worried as to how they will get the benefits if they are not discriminated against?
Thursday, April 20, 2006
Reservations for all below 300 gms
We have reserved less weighty letters for the government employee who may also be an OBC.
I have decided not to kiss on the roads. The fine of Rs 500/- is too high for me. I will restrain myself. No more "one for the road" at the airport door!
I am in favor of accessibility of 50-year-old declassified papers. Let the historians get the truth about Ambedkar, Nehru and Patel.
RSS leads at 27 points
Situation in Nepal is getting precarious! I have sent Karan Singh to Nepal as my envoy. I did this after Jaswant Singh sought my permission to visit Nepal. It seems the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has come out in support of the only Hindu monarch in the world.
I give RSS 7 points for this. This takes their total to 27. This gives them a lead of 5 points over Hamas. Shahi Imam is way down at 5 points. With Togadia in hibernation (summers are hot in Ahmedabad) VHP is still not in the run. Who will win the ISI (Insane Sectarian Ideology) Trophy? The jury is still out. Go ahead and do something fanatic!

Bharat Ratna to Azimbhai
I wear my turban tight. It keeps my real feelings wrapped up. Today, in my inner brain I awarded Bharat Ratna to Azim Premji for his plain speak. "No room for reservation at Wipro" Straight, simple and direct. Love you Azim.
Shahi attack!
- Economic package for riot-hit Muslims on the line of one given to victims of 1984 anti-Sikh riots
- Reservation of jobs for Muslims in central and state governments.
- Immediate release of Muslims detained under Prevention of Terrorism Act in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
- Immediate halt to alleged atrocities on Muslims in Assam on the plea of checking foreign nationals,
- Restoration of the minority status for Aligarh Muslim University.
- Unconditional talks with "popular and responsible" leaders of Kashmir.
- Evacuation of illegal occupants from Waqf properties.
I couldn't resist it. I asked him his Islamic view on the raising the height of the Narmada Dam. He later went out and fought with the journalist. Amazing chap.
Anyway, I preached the CII representatives on affirmative action. We will soon see data on caste, religion and even color in their annual report. Positive discrimination is called affirmative action.

Medha or Mega -Watt?
Great news! Medha and Narendra are a classic pair. Both have stopped fasting. This controversy is a copywriter's delight! Did you hear Narendra bellow "What does the nation want? Medha or Mega (Watt)!"
I am also proud of myself. I have pushed a critical decision about the dam into the lap of the Supreme Court. I am successfully morphing from a Sardarji Economist Prime Minister to a shrewd manipulator. Also, I will stand by Somnath's statement that the Judiciary should not interfere with the legislative.

Amir to do a retake on Activism!
There was one chap from BJP, whom I failed to recognize. He handed me a list of questions for Amir Khan. I explained to him that I did not know Amir. I told him that congress has not provoked his window-shopping sphere for activism.
He still handed me the note. Here are the questions he wanted me to ask Amir:
- What is he doing about the right of Muslim Women?
- Has he found any NGO, which is reforming Madressas?
- Does he believe window-shopping for activism without an in-depth study is intelligent?
Hungry Kya?
I am also sure that Hari also knows what Saifuddin Soz is up to when he threw the Narmada decision into my court. Please tell me. Anyway, Soz's naïveness has been excused. I with my political sophistication have passed the buck to the Supreme Court.
I want to be grateful to Narendar Modi. He has still not pointed out in public that Union Water Resources Minister Saifuddin Soz and Amir Khan are Muslims. Thank you.
Hungry kya?
Saturday, April 15, 2006
Fast ! Fast !
Meanwhile, 15 will die of violence in Gujarat, property worth Rs. 50 Cr destroyed. Amir Khan to get a life ban on visiting Gujarat. Union Water Resources Minister Saifuddin Soz is also going to be looking for some water to douse this fire.
Innovators in Our Midst
None of my business, but innovation is everyone's business.
Politically correct
Got this from Venkat, my valet! He in turn got it from Wikipedia.
The Narmada Dam Project, known officially as the Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP), is a project involving the construction of a series of large hydroelectric dams on the Narmada River in India. The project was first conceived of in the 1940s by the country's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. The project only took form in 1979 as part of a development scheme to increase irrigation and produce hydroelectricity. The Narmada dam is India's most controversial dam project and its environmental impact and net costs and benefits are widely debated. The Narmada Dam has been the center of controversy and protest since the late 1980s.
Local protests taking the form of a genuine peoples movement, known as the Narmada Bachao Andolan (Save Narmada Movement) have been led by Medha Patkar. The World Bank was a funder of the SSP, but withdrew after an independent review in 1990. Indian writer Arundhati Roy has protested the Narmada Dam project.
And now Amir Khan also lends support to this.
I also know that Medha Patkar does not have the courage to visit Gujarat anymore.
This is the difference between China and India. This is a classic example.
Yeah so what is the point I am making on a Saturday Morning? As a Sardarji Economist Honest Prime Minister, I am hapless in this!
I think our worry that Muslims will take to the streets after the bomb blasts in unfounded. I have never heard the Imam of Jama Masjid in such a politically correct mode.

VHP Deplores the carefully planned blasts
VHP did not have any comments on the Srinagar blasts. 5 killed, 30 injured, poor media coverage and no doubt of who is behind them. Why waste breath eh?

Funeral to Pubs!
I, as the Prime Minister have to say nice things. I am a Sardarji Economist Prime Minister and have to get votes for my party. 'Will the Chief Minister of Infosys, Narayana Murthy say something about this? He is a good man; he will soon find the courage to say something.
Think Locally, Act Globally
Was having a look at John Naisbitt's "Global Paradox" found two interesting bits:
Tribalism is the belief in fidelity to one's own kind, defined by ethnicity, language, culture, religion, or, this late 20th century, profession. And this belief is flourishing.
The old adage: Think Globally, Act Locally should be flipped to Think Locally, Act Globally

Maran sues Jaya TV

Sensex fell by 307 points as Dance Bars got their life back in Mumbai. Investors have found other avenues for investment?
I presented Ramnath Goenka Awards for Excellence in Journalism. I told the intelligent audience that the media has an important role to play in building a consensus, particularly in this era of coalition politics, though it may me more entertaining to air extreme views.
Meanwhile, my Minister Dayanidhi Maran has sued Vaiko to pay him Rs 1 crore for alleged defamatory remarks. Tamil daily Dina Malar, and Jaya TV, which reported these remarks are sued for Rs 1 lakh.

I am reserving my comments on the reservation issue till the elections are over. I must say that there is more work on my table and reservation is not my mind at the moment!
Internet Reserved
I am still unsure if I have approved this or not. God, sometimes I do not know of the happenings in the next cubicle.

Education? What has Mandal go to do with Education? Arjun Singh wanted to know.

I met and congratulated our medal winners of Melbourne Commonwealth Games today. I also congratulated the Indian Olympic Association for winning the medal for having the highest number of officials in a contingent. They are going to definitely win this medal in Delhi.
I am impressed what our shooters could do without taking steroids. I wished them the best to compete with Aishwarya and Rani for media space in the next games.
Idlis for breakfast today
Anyway, I know that it went well, but the path ahead is long and difficult. Our energy needs are huge. Our Politicians are fools. Our Bureaucrats are corrupt. Our Muslims link our ties with Iran to their religion. CPI believes that they are Russians and living 1960. We do not have any Jews to lobby our cause in US. My cook, Tiwari thinks Ms Rice puts on too much lipstick. A tough job ahead for all!
Good Morning India!
I am having Idlis for breakfast today. I have started eating South Indian food since elections dates were declared. West Bengal also has elections, but Pranab is eating all the misti dahi on my behalf. Assam also had elections, but North–East has been isolated for so long I do not know what they eat out there!
Meanwhile, I have put Medha Patkar in Hospital ! I do not want anything to happen to her for another 20 years. By that time the Narmada project will be completed!

- Visit Iran
- Visit Iran
- Visit Iran

Reproduction problems in Rajasthan
A hinny is the offspring of a male horse and a female donkey. Hinnies are difficult to obtain because of the differences in the number of chromosomes of the horse and the donkey. A donkey has 62 chromosomes, a horse 64. Hinnies being hybrids of those two species have only 63 chromosomes and are sterile. The uneven number results in an incomplete reproductive system. The Times of India has discovered a potential cause of failure in reproductive system in Rajasthan. Excellent investigative journalism!
But this health problem will be compounded if the assumption that the male in Rajasthan is a horse fails. He may be a pig! A Male Chauvinist Pig! Or an Onager which is large mammal belonging to the horse family and is sometimes known as the Half Ass.
I will have to speak with Smt. Vasundhara Raje. This is serious.
Advani is off on a Yatra. Soniaji is also off seeking justice somewhere. Right time for a Sardarji Economist Prime Minister to get some work done in the capital!

Summer 06 Bush-Blair Collection
BJP is a bit upset about my conduct during the campaign. I said "Hum is par vichar karenge" to a petition from a group from Karbi who gave me a memorandum. They were asking for financial relief for the victims of ethnic violence. What does Mahajan expect me to say? "You will have to ask BJP for this" or should I say "Please vote for BJP" or "Hum apake hai kaun?"
"Hyderabad wants IT" Says Infosys CFO Pai. Many others in the same state want food, water and electricity. A few farmers' wives want their husband alive.
"Britain launched a national law enforcement unit modeled on the United States' FBI on Monday to tackle what Prime Minister Tony Blair called the "tyranny" of organized crime" reported Reuters. Tony Blair is also starting his new summer 06 collection which is modeled around the Summer 06 Bush collection.
Ahmedabad Airport ? Really?
I called for youth of Assam to maintain peace and not be misguided. Misguided people in Assam call me misguided and useless. We have a misguided history in North–East. Most of the history here has been misguided by partition, religion, infiltration and Congress. Congress has always been a part of misguidance as it was misguiding the nation most of the time after the misguided freedom.
I may face my first outright defeat as I am not a capable leader to launch aggressive action against Maoists, reports Sudhir Chadda of India Daily. He feels that academicians are not aggressive. Good, do you want Bal Thackeray to be the PM to take on the Maoist? Don't you know I fight the communist daily?

Desi Paradox
One of the biggest paradoxes in India is; while Indian private sector wants the Government to reform and give them a free hand, the private sector itself curbs the creative freedom for their employees! I know, my cook's son works in an MNC and he told me that he couldn't blog, watch porn or the stock ticker at work. Such restriction hardly fosters creativity.

B&G Green Bay Packer Update
As per Scotty's suggestion, I thought I'd take a few moments to update B&Gers on the Packers.
1. Brett Farve will play again this season. I'm sure that isn't news to most of you, but this has been the greatest cause of concern among Packer fans. The general feeling is that everything will be fine if St. Farve straps on a helmet and hits the field this season. No real mention of his backups was immediately available (which I found surprising), so I have no news for JT fans.
2. While there were some major offseason departures, including their two starting guards and several defensive players, the general feeling is that the offense will be the same or better than last year. Will all the skilled positions filled by returning vetrans, the line looks to be solid. Two FA pickups solidify the line, in the view of the average packer fan.
3. In the upcoming draft, defense will be the focus. There is a need for LBs to play with Barnett, and a replacement for Sharper. In fact, the Pack currently has exactly 0 safeties on the roster. On the whole, the line is considered serviceable by most fans.
4. The Packers are still involved in FA, if only for backups. They are not looking at Safeties, since they feel there are no quality safeties left in FA. However, a number of LBs have been by to visit, including Simmons, whom we passed on.
5. Current team needs: FS, SS, MLB, OG, DE, backup DT, Backup S.
Does that seem to be what you had in mind Scotty? I could be a bit more detailed, if it is of interest to anyone.
