Springfield police are investigating after a 19-year-old was shot inside his Cambridge Street home just after midnight Friday.
The victim answered his door, and two masked men armed with handguns forced their way into his home, located at 52 Cambridge St., the victim told police.
The intruders demanded that the victim give them his "stuff," according to Springfield Police Sgt. John Delaney.
A fight then broke out and the victim ended up getting shot in the rear end, Delaney said. The masked thugs then fled the apartment and the wounded victim gave chase down the street.
The victim was taken to the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. The teen denied to police that he deals any type of drug.
If anyone has any information please call Springfield Police Detective Rodriguez at 413-787-6355.

Freshman guard Rodney Hood, the # 5 shooting guard in the country last year, is looking to transfer from the sinking ship that is Mississippi State basketball. Rodney would be a HUGE get for MD. He is long, 6'8", strong 200+ pounds, and athletic. We weren't in the mix for him out of HS so I have no idea if he would consider MD, but if he did he would be a major upgrade over all the other players we are looking at.
In addition, incoming point guard Josh Gray (also Mississippi State) has asked for a release from his LOI due to the change in coaches at the school. I have every reason to believe that Gray will be granted his release. (I've never heard of a school changing coaches and then refusing to grant a release -- though anything is possible.) Gray would be a highly, highly fought over commodity. He is a first rate, TRUE, point guard. Not on the level of Jordan or Harrison, but not too far behind either.
So, a couple of questions for the community.
1) Assuming that both these players become available, who of all the players MD is looking at would you like to see MD get? (My vote is Gray given our need at PG.)
2) Does anybody have any information as to whether MD has connections with either of these players?

Earlier this week Lady Gaga was causing a commotion in the streets of New York City, as per.
The singer donned a signature Alaïa black dress we have seen on the likes of Naomi Campbell and Alicia Keys, which has unfortunately been stained with the white talcum powder she has been applying all over her body lately.
Her look was styled with a black sheer ruffled shirt and blazer from Saint Laurent; she accessorized with sunglasses and reading glasses (only Gaga) and with a Fendi 'Adele 1328′ bag from the new 'Selleria' collection customized with her name.
The doctor's bag is made of Roman leather and adjoined with 1,328 Selleria tone-on-tone stitches.
Fendi have released a video to celebrate the new line.

WEST MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Dog owners were showing off their dogs, and the dogs were waiting patiently all for the opening of the Raising Canes' Kiroli Dog Park.
Dog owner Regan Orman says, "I was so excited, I saw it on facebook and I had it on my calendar and I was counting down the days I couldn't wait for it to open."
Orman was one of many dog owners who came out to finally watch the ribbon get cut and the dogs run inside the new Raising Canes' Kiroli Dog Park.
Raising Canes' owner Todd Graves says there are two different gated areas, "anybody's dog is welcomed out here we actually separate, they did a great job of separating the big dogs from the little dogs, so little dogs don't get trampled, but it's for everyone even if you don't have a dog come out and check it out the dogs out here are great."
The biggest hit for the dogs and their owners seem to be the fountains where the dogs can jump in and cool off.
Orman says, "he's had a blast he's ran up and down the whole place played with all the dogs really well and he loves the water fountain which I wasn't expecting."
Everyone agrees this is good for the dogs, their owners, and the community.
Graves says, "I'm very passionate about dogs and pet welfare in general you know, I'm the guy that names his chicken finger restaurant after his dog Raising Cane and I just think that dogs parks are a great way to enhance a community."
Dog owner, Mae Prickett says, "dogs need to be socialized because if they're not socialized that's what usually makes them mean because they're scared they don't know what's normal and if they see other dogs on a regular basis, they have a tenancy to be more tolerate of other dogs."
Dog owner Robert Lafiette says, "it's good for the community, it brings pet lovers out to share a common bond, you can meet some great people with their animals and the people themselves."
This park is an off leash dog park which allows the dogs to be able to run freely, and it's open to anyone.
The registration fee is $5 per dog if you're an annual Kiroli Park Pass Holder, and $10 if you're not.
Forms are available at the gate house.

What Is Apriso?Apriso is a form of mesalamine that is used to treat inflammation in the colon caused by ulcerative colitis. Apriso contains a patented delivery system for the mesalamine called Intellicor. Intellicor is an extended-release system that allows the mesalamine to travel through the digestive tract and be deployed in the colon, where it is needed. Other brand names of oral mesalamine include Pentasa, Asacol, Colazal and Lialda.
Why Is Apriso Prescribed?Apriso is approved for use in maintaining remission in patients with ulcerative colitis and proctitis. It is not currently approved for treatment of active disease (a flare-up.)
Who Should Not Take Apriso?Apriso is not for everyone. Tell your doctor if you have ever had any of the following conditions:
- Congestive heart failure
- Kidney disease
- Liver disease
- Pyloric stenosis
Is Apriso Safe During Pregnancy?The FDA has classified Apriso as a type B drug. The effect that Apriso has on an unborn child has not been studied extensively. Apriso should only be used during pregnancy if clearly needed. Notify the prescribing doctor if you become pregnant while taking Apriso. Apriso does pass into breast milk and could affect a nursing infant. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding a baby.
What Are the Side Effects of Apriso?Serious side effects of Apriso include fever, severe headache, and sudden or severe abdominal pain. Minor side effects can include nausea, diarrhea, and headache, which may resolve on their own. See Mesalamine Side Effects for more potential side effects.
Apriso is not known to cause any sexual side effects in either men or women.
How Is Apriso Taken?If Apriso is prescribed for you, four capsules should be taken daily. Do not crush or chew the tablets, as this can cause the mesalamine to be released earlier in the digestive tract than the colon. The capsules can be taken with or without food.
What Do I Do if I Miss a Dose?If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose should be taken soon, just take that dose -- don't double up, or take more than one dose at a time.
What Medications Can Apriso Interact With?Apriso should not be taken with antacids, as it can affect the ability of the drug to be released in the colon. Tell your doctor if you are taking:
- Imuran (azathioprine)
- Lanoxin (Digoxin)
- Purinethol (Mercaptopurine)
- The varicella virus vaccine or the varicella, measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine
Apriso may interact with other drugs that are not on this list. Always tell your physician about all the drugs and supplements you are taking.
Are There Any Food Interactions I Should Be Aware Of?There are no known food interactions with Apriso.

Tuesday is Mardi Gras — or as it's better known around here, Fat Tuesday. And in Metro Detroit, that means one thing: pączki.
Sugar, eggs and fat are traditionally combined to create pączki, traditional Polish doughnuts filled with fruit or cream and dusted with powdered sugar or glazed.
The Polish tradition is to celebrate the last six days of Carnival, known as zapusty, beginning on Fat Thursday (Tłusty Czwartek) when pączki (fried doughnuts) are eaten. In America, pączki can be found in bakeries on Fat Tuesday or Pączki Day, Feb. 12.
The baking and consumption of pączki began as a practical matter. Pączki were made as a way to use up the lard and eggs that were prohibited during the ancient observance of Lent. Now, they're part of a last-minute binge on sweets before the sacrifice begins.
So what's the best spot to find paczki in Royal Oak? Last year, we asked Royal Oak Patch readers where you can find the . Thirty-four percent of you said Hermann's Bakery.
Other local favorites include:
- Food Palace
- Main Donut Shop
- Dunkin' Donuts
- Astoria Pastry Shop
- Hermann's Bakery
- Tim Hortons
What's your favorite spot to pick up paczki around Royal Oak? Let us know in the comments below!

Nine members of the team that memorably won gold at the 2010 World Junior Championship will take part in USA Hockey's National Junior Evaluation Camp, which will help set the roster for the 2011 WJC.
In all, 44 players in all will attend the camp, which will be held July 30-Aug. 7, at the Lake Placid (N.Y.) Olympic Center.
Among the players returning is goaltender Jack Campbell, who was in net in Saskatoon when the U.S. snapped Canada's five-year winning streak with a 6-5 overtime victory in the gold-medal game. Campbell is the No. 2 North American goaltender in NHL Central Scouting's rankings for the 2010 Entry Draft, June 25-26 in Los Angeles.
Also returning from last year's team are defensemen Cam Fowler and John Ramage, and forwards Ryan Bourque, Jerry D'Amigo, Chris Kreider, Jeremy Morin, Kyle Palmieri and Jason Zucker.
Fowler, No. 5 on Central Scouting's list of the best North American skaters eligible for the draft, was second on last year's WJC team with a plus-8 rating, and he had 2 points in seven games.
Zucker, a rambunctious left wing ranked No. 51 by Central Scouting, had 2 goals in limited ice time. Ramage, No. 131 on Central Scouting's list, had 3 assists, including the only one on John Carlson's overtime winner that gave the U.S. just its second gold medal ever in the IIHF under-20 event.
D'Amigo, a Toronto Maple Leafs prospect, led last year's team with 6 goals, including a pair in the semifinal victory against Sweden. Kreider, the New York Rangers first-round pick last year, also had 6 goals. Bourque, another Rangers prospect, was a leader and strong defensive presence. Palmieri, an Anaheim Ducks prospect, was second on the team with 8 assists, while Morin, a 2009 second-round pick of the Atlanta Thrashers, had 2 goals and 7 points.
Campbell and Fowler aren't the only highly regarded 2010 Entry Draft prospects invited to the camp. Nine other players ranked in Central Scouting's top 30 received invitations -- Medicine Hat Tigers right wing Emerson Etem (No. 8); U.S. National Team defenseman Derek Forbort (No. 9); Blaine (Minn.) High School center Nick Bjugstad (No. 13); Peterborough Petes center Austin Watson (No. 14); Minnesota State center Tyler Pitlick (No. 18); U.S. National Team defenseman Jonathan Merrill (No. 21); South Shore Kings (EJHL) center/right wing Charlie Coyle (No. 24); Warroad (Minn.) High School center Brock Nelson (No. 25); and Nobles School (Mass.) right wing Kevin Hayes (No. 26).
Four players eligible for the 2011 draft were invited based on their strong play in helping the U.S. win gold at the 2010 World Under-18 Championship. Defenseman Adam Clendening, who tied for the team lead with 10 points and made the tournament all-star team, earned an invitation, as did forward Nick Shore, who also had 10 points. Forward Brandon Saad had 6 points and a plus-6 rating, and forward Matt Nieto had 3 assists and 4 points.
This will be coach Keith Allain's first look at the group that will try to defend the gold medal in Buffalo, starting Dec. 26. The tournament runs through Jan. 5, 2011.
"It will be a very competitive camp and give our staff a good opportunity to evaluate players as we start our preparations to defend the gold medal in Buffalo," said Jim Johannson, USA Hockey's assistant executive director of hockey operations and general manager of the 2011 U.S. National Junior Team.

I was going to do a "culture wars" history that would go back to the election of 1800 and forward to the Reagan era, and I noticed that people kept returning to these TOUCHSTONE DOCUMENTS, quoting them in the way that preachers and Christians quote from the Bible. I've always been fascinated by the rabbinic tradition in Judaism, that to be a Jew is to argue about what it is to be a Jew. It seemed the same — to be an American is to argue about WHAT IT IS TO BE AN AMERICAN.
I think of this book as the most political of my books. It's about texts like "I Have a Dream," the Gettysburg Address, the Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence. It does seem to me they constitute a kind of canon the same way Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and the Epistles are part of the canon of the New Testament.

Shirley Temple Black (1928-2014), the most iconic child star of film history who was a box office sensation throughout the 1930s, has died at age 85. Known for her dimples and perfectly-ringleted head of curls (56 ringlets, to be exact), Temple broke into the movies at only three years old, and went on to star in a series of vehicles (many of which were the VHS staples of my childhood) like "Bright Eyes," "Little Miss Marker," "Stand Up and Cheer," "The Little Colonel," "Baby Take a Bow," "Heidi," "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" and "The Little Princess," to name only a few.
More than just a cute face, Temple had a remarkable ability for song and dance routines, as exemplified particularly in "The Codfish Ball" routine she does with Buddy Ebsen in "Captain January," where she matches the limber-legged Ebsen step for step in a four minute sequence. (Watch it, below.)
"The Little Princess" in 1939 was her last hit as a child star, though she did have a fabulous supporting turn in 1947's screwball classic "The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer," opposite Cary Grant and Myrna Loy, by which point she had grown into a comely 19-year-old and was playing a gaga-eyed teen, smitten with Grant.
After leaving Hollywood, Temple went on to work in politics, being appointed as the US ambassador to Ghana under Gerald Ford and ambassador to Czechoslovakia under George H.W. Bush.
Below, a roundup of what the web is saying, plus a selection of clips:
After winning an honorary Academy Award at the age of 6 and earning $3 million before puberty, Shirley Temple grew up to be a level-headed adult. When her cancerous left breast was removed in 1972, at a time when operations for cancer were shrouded in secrecy, she held a news conference in her hospital room to speak out about her mastectomy and to urge women discovering breast lumps not to "sit home and be afraid." She is widely credited with helping to make it acceptable to talk about breast cancer.
The dimpled, blonde, curly-headed Temple was the nation's top box office attraction from 1935-38 and one of the nation's top wage earners. Reflecting the extent of her popularity, she received 135,000 birthday cards on her 11th birthday. By 1938, 20th Century Fox, the studio for which she earned some $30 million, had upped her salary to $10,000 a week.
As a child, her movies made her a heroine for adults as well as children. Simplistic plots often cast her as a motherless tyke who found happiness and shared it, cheerfully singing or dancing her way out of trouble and spreading cheer wherever she went. She first sang her signature song, "On the Good Ship Lollipop" in the movie "Bright Eyes," one of nine films she made in 1934 alone.
Her first big hit was 1934's Stand Up and Cheer, alongside popular song-and-dance man James Dunn. Whether singing about lollipops and peppermint bays in 1934's Bright Eyes, or tap dancing up a flight of stairs with her favorite costar, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, in 1935's Little Colonel, she was at once roly-poly cute and smoothly professional. "This child frightens me," declared costar Adolphe Menjou, who played a gangster holding Temple's wisecracking orphan character ransom in 1934's Little Miss Marker. "She's an Ethel Barrymore at 6!"
For four years straight, from 1934-37, audiences declared her their favorite movie star. After Baby Take a Bow premiered in New York in 1935, President Roosevelt summed up Temple's soothing appeal: "When the spirit of the people is lower than at any other time during the Depression, it is a splendid thing that for just 15 cents, an American can go to a movie and look at the smiling face of a baby and forget his troubles."
Meanwhile, celebrities are reacting on Facebook. James Franco posted a photo of Temple, writing "We love you, Shirley Temple. Love to all the child stars, grown before their times"; George Takei also posted a pic, writing "She brought so much joy to so many people during a time of great suffering. Dance, laugh and twinkle amongst the stars now, Shirley Temple"; Rose McGowan wrote that Temple was "a giant talent," and that she owns her scrapbooks and has three Temple dolls.
On Sunday March 9, TCM will host its own tribute to the late actress with a night of her films beginning at 4:30pm. The films are: "Heidi" (1937), "Stowaway" (1936), "Bright Eyes" (1934), "The Little Princess" (1939), "I'll Be Seeing You" (1944), "The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer" (1947), "A Kiss For Corliss" (1949) and "That Hagen Girl" (1947).
Movie clips, after the jump:
Joseph Angier | February 11, 2014 5:59 PM
Since I just saw this for the first time last week, I'd like to give a big shout-out to Shirley Temple's damn-good performance in John Ford's "Fort Apache" (playing Henry Fonda's daughter, and co-starring with the then-husband, John Agar).
Brian | February 11, 2014 3:30 PM
As a child, I used to watch Shirley Temple movies on TV regularly. And then Shirley herself began hosting a show, "Shirley Temple's Storybook Theatre," which ran on Sunday nights before Ed Sullivan from 1958-61. So we got to see the adult Shirley also. I think this helped me develop an understanding and appreciation of film history at an early age. Decades later, they still ran Shirley movies on one of the local stations, so I was able to show them to my daughter when she was a child and it helped acclimate her to watching old movies. And the movies hold up very well: HEIDI, STOWAWAY, WEE WILLIE WINKIE, THE LITTLE PRINCESS, SUSANNAH OF THE MOUNTIES, and a bunch of others. (There are some I haven't seen since childhood, e.g. CAPTAIN JANUARY, which I must revisit.)
I just wish the clips you'd chosen were in their original black-and-white and not colorized. (THE LITTLE PRINCESS is the only one on this page that actually was shot in color--beautiful Technicolor, although public domain prints which have circulated over the years haven't reflected that.)

Editors Note...I'm bumping this to the front page because it looks like this thing is coming to a close soon. Obviously not today at this point, but you'd have to think tomorrow is going to be the day so this thing can get wrapped up prior to the weekend.
Thanks for putting this poll together rockchalks7, I am adding one name to the mix though for the sake of argument and that's one Mark Mangino. I know we all believe he's gone, but obviously nothing is official yet.
With all the speculation going on and Mangino likely gone this week who do we turn to next. An up and comer or someone who has proved before they can succeed and are waiting for another chance?Just threw up some names that have been tossed around recently. Put Harbaugh on there because read today that he's in KC and has been asked about KU job. Not sure if he's interested though. Can only hope. Cast your vote and discuss reasons for or for not wanting certain coach.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - Oktoberfest unites thousands of people in La Crosse who "prost" and have a drink of a good ol' Wisconsin brew.
Among the hundreds of thousands on the Festgrounds, Ken Weiler, best known as Red Dog, stands proud among the crowd knowing he, and a couple hundred friends and strangers in blue shirts, will be family for the weekend.
"This year we have about 260 coming, I think," Red Dog said. "They come from all over the United States. We even had a fella from Australia who joined our group last year."
Red Dog is part of the Blue Shirts, a group dating back to 1970 that brings in people from around the nation, even the globe, to celebrate La Crosse's Oktoberfest.
He makes the trip from Plymouth, Minn.
"Two brothers in Chicago had such a good time (then) a friend of mine from Texas invited me," he said. "When I came, there was only about 12 of us guys... now it's just a big group of fun loving people."
While holding it up on display, Red Dog said his most prized possession is his silver medallion. The plastic medal signifies he's been to Oktoberfest with the Blue Shirts for 25 consecutive years.
A father's tradition has been passed onto a younger generation. Nicole Roath, his daughter, is also a Blue Shirt, who the group fittingly nicknamed.
"I'm known as 'Lil Pup because my father's Red Dog. I am the smaller version of him," Roath said.
"I became affiliated with the Blue Shirt group even though I was underage. Just getting together with them, obviously not drinking, you know, going to their traditional hot spots during the day and just getting to be a part of the group," she said. "I really fell in love with the people."
The back of the Blue Shirts T's list the years they've gone to the fest. Every five years, they get a beer on their sleeve.
Each year, members – like Red Dog and 'Lil Pup – hope their wardrobe gets a little more decorated.
"People care about being part of this group. They want to come from as far away as possible to be here for this weekend alone," Roach said. "This last week in September means the most to us."

SARANAC LAKE — Issues with education reform are adding pitch to outcry against state school-aid cuts.
Part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's executive spending plan looks to connect school aid to teacher evaluations, which are currently pulled, in part, from test scores captured in the Common Core curriculum.
Cuomo is looking to thread education finance reform through that system.
His budget preview looked forward to the "establishment of an annual professional performance review system (APPR) ... that links state aid increases to school district implementation of the APPR."
But the review system is in flux, challenged by the testing core.
A panel of 11 experts has recommended numerous changes to Common Core, altering the way the State Education Department will roll out measurable education reform.
The panel suggested students be held harmless by "high-stakes" assessment tests, keeping scores out of permanent records and away from grade-promotion decisions.
The panel recommended giving teachers more time to build Common Core modules into their classrooms before testing measures are put in place.
Some of the recommendations mirrored legislation put in motion months ago by Assemblywoman Janet Duprey (R-Peru), but she noticed a catch in protections offered from the test scores.
"It is interesting to me that the panel and the governor support 'protecting students from high stakes (scores) based on unfair test results,' which is clearly the appropriate action to take.
"However, the panel and the governor appear to believe teachers should still be evaluated on the performance of their students, who are not expected to do well on these same 'unfair tests,' and this is clearly not an appropriate action.
"I've not talked to a single teacher who was opposed to a fair and honest evaluation, but the evaluations should not be based on poor scores when proper preparation is just not available to the teachers," Duprey said.

If the T-Wolves are to win big games they need to have a solid 8-9 man rotation of players. That said, this season with back-to-back-to-back games a deeper bench will also help a lot. However, the main contributors of the team should be that solid top 8-9 players. So this is my idea of the ideal line-up the wolves can put on the floor this year (assuming the roster stays as is)…
Starting Line-up
Lee *
First off the Bench:
Ninth Man (AT, Pek**, Luke, Ellington) – this is mainly matchup based on foul trouble, opponent matchups, or how well the rookies are contributing. If Rubio, DWill are struggling expect more Luke or AT. If Love or Darko are in foul trouble then more Pek. If we can get away with JJ at the two guard for a good chunk of the game – then Luke turns into the back-up PG.
*I don't want to sound insane about a 2nd round pick, I just don't think we have better options. I don't think Lee is better than Wes, but I do think Lee is a better two guard option over Wes. I'm still holding out hope (hell, I'm a TWolves fan all I ever have is this endless belief in hope) that Martell can come back and be our starting 2 – in that case Lee falls to the 9th man rotation (and hopefully keep Ellington from ever seeing the floor).
** I am also interested when Miller gets back how the center rotation will work. I fully expect RA will want to get him involved – but I'm only think there is about 30 Minutes of time to split between the 3 players as Love or AT will take about the other 18.
Why the more traditional starting line-up (and not JJ, Rubio, and the 3 PFs starting – which I do think is out best lineup)…
Mainly I think Rick would like to settle on a starting rotation and a traditional one lets you always start off the game with the same group regardless of the other teams match-up. Then you can feel the game out, like a boxer looking for the weakness, and start adjusting the substitution pattern to exploit those.
This is where more homerism comes into play – I am very excited about the possibilities. I think this team has a lot of talent (somewhat duplicated talent). However has enough talent that going to the bench shouldn't look like it did last night (scary what missing your top 2 PGs can do to a team). That said my biggest reason for excitement is Rick! He is that coach that I think will use the rosters strengths and try to exploit opponent's weaknesses.
He can be a little mad scientist with the line-up. I think finding the right time in the game to go with the group of Rick, JJ, B-Easy, DWill, KLove is going to be critical to our success this year. I don't think they can play 30 minutes a game together as a group. Some of the match-up issues on the other end, won't allow that. Rick needs to find a way to get them on the floor for at least 15 – 20 minutes a game together though. This will allow this team to put some offensive spurts together. Buckets can come from anywhere with that line-up.
I'll be going to the opener again this year. Unlike last year, I don't expect to make my friend wait for me after the game. I refused to leave until I can shout at Rambis as he was entering the tunnel for costing us the opener last year. Not one of my prouder moments, but I blamed him for losing last season's opener (remember the "arguably your best player" comments…)
Long time lurker – first time poster – but this team has got me pumped up to watch basketball again. I'm also glad to see I'm not the only crazy that can continually follow a team that has been as hapless as this one.
Let me hear you comments or thoughts on your ideas for a regular rotation.

The Myth of Global Science
AbstractScientific collaboration, in most cases, is seen a joint action on a global scale that involves researchers from not just one region or one country but instead forming an international network of researchers. This type of epistemic communities build up especially in the case of analytical modes of knowledge production. Rationales for a global science system are needs for complementary ressources in an increasingly specialized world. Further, information and communication technologies contributed to flatten the world for intense, yet spatially distant collaboration. Based on the large scale analysis of the production of scientific publications in six distinct technologies/scientific fields from 2004 to 2008 these notions may be challenged. The probability of a collaboration is a power-law function of the distance between the participating authors: The higher the spatial proximity, the higher the chance of a jointly written paper, i.e. collaboration. Two main universal effects can be isolated: an intra-country effect following a power law with a negative exponent, and an inter-country effect that shows features of a random distributed distance function. The former effect outcompetes the latter by a factor of around 50-100. This behaviour has inevitable consequences for the design of research collaboration programs by governments world-wide.

All right, let me first begin by saying this is my first try at a FanPost, so if it's a little bit rough then I apologize. However, I have been listening to what has been going on today and quietly collecting my thoughts and I really just needed to share.
To understand where I am coming from you must first understand my situation. I have grown up living just outside of Knoxville. I was born in 1990, and my first real memory of Tennessee sports is the 1998 football season, so I grew up with high expectations. I live, breath, and eat all Tennessee athletics. My mood and outlook on life is directly connected to the results of the last game. Needless to say, it's been quite a roller coaster ride these past few years.
I'm tired of having a split fan base. I'm tired of being forced to pick sides. I'm tired of hearing negativity.
I came to UT in the fall of 2008 and needless to say as a football guy it's been a frustrating time. My freshman year it broke my heart to see a fan base as good as ours being split over the coaching situation. Philip Fulmer was my childhood hero, a true Tennessean and a true Volunteer. It was almost like watching a loved one be cannibalized by other members of your family and there was nothing you could do about it. Then there was the other guy; we won't go there.
But through it all stood Bruce Pearl. We knew we didn't have to worry about anything with our basketball program. Finally we had someone who brought life into a program that before had been on life support. He was a constant source of energy, enthusiasm, passion, and a steady stream of big wins (I will never forget being in the student section when we beat Kansas). That was all until September 2010.
At first I was not concerned. He admitted his mistake, so all would be forgiven right? Plus, there was a roller coaster football season to tend to. However, slowly but surely I started hearing the rumbles similar to the ones I heard my freshman year. Oh no, not again. I had seen this episode before, and I didn't like how it ended. As the season got longer (and for the most part worse) the anti-Pearl grumblings turned into a loud roar, the divide between the two sides grew larger, and we had to endure a constant stream of negativity from the national media.
And now here we are. Bruce Pearl has been fired. For the second time in my collegiate career I have watched a hero of mine lose his job. Bruce Pearl put his heart and soul into Tennessee, and for that we will forever be grateful, but the fact of the matter is at this point it is time to move on.
As we speak there is a large collection of students and fans marching around campus chanting "We want Pearl." While I do appreciate the enthusiasm, I find it a bit frustrating. No matter how bad we want to change how things went, the fact of the matter is we can't. It's counter productive to try at this point.
I have written all of this to come to this point. It's time for the University of Tennessee to rally together to become a stronger, more unified fan base. I believe we all can agree that it appears our football team is heading in the right direction. Now I don't know who is going to replace Bruce Pearl, but I do know one thing that will help in the transition-let's all open our arms and welcome whoever it is to our family, because in the end that's what we are. Derek Dooley has started the Vol For Life program for his players, but we as fans have been living that for decades. We might not chose our new coach, but whoever it is will have chosen us. That means something to me, and I hope it means something to you.
Tennessee is a great place to call home, and is a great place for athletics. If you don't believe me just look at any of our athletic facilities and it's easy to understand how important our teams are to us. Let's get out of this pattern of negativity, let's stop arguing about who is our coach, let's stop arguing with each other all together. Instead, let's unite under the flag of the University of Tennessee, let's unite under the saying "We are Tennessee," let's unite around our student athletes.
It's great to be a Tennessee Vol, and I'll be damned if I let anything change that. Go Vols!

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – Testimony is underway in the trial of a former youth administrator accused of molesting boys in his care at the West Texas State School, a part of the Texas Youth Commission in Pyote.
John Paul Hernandez, 45, the former principal pleaded not guilty to 11 counts, two counts of sexual assault and nine counts of improper relationship between an educator and a student.
The case out of Ward County was moved to Lubbock on the defense's request. Six years later the case has reached a jury.
Prosecutors say Hernandez gave inmates special treatment, candy and promises of financial aid before sexually abusing the boys in closets and classrooms. The defense says there is no DNA evidence to back up the claims.
The Texas Attorney General took over prosecution after they say the Ward County District Attorney did not act quickly.
Tuesday the first witness, Texas Ranger Brian Burzinski who investigated the case back in 2005, testified in detail about interviewing some of the victims.
Burzinski says he searched Hernandez's home on the Pyote campus weeks into the investigation. He says he found no evidence of foul play on Hernandez's clothes, but added that the clothes were already washed and dry cleaned.
The Ranger also says he looked at surveillance cameras on the campus, but The Texas Youth Commission erases the video every seven days.
Burzinski says there was evidence found on the carpet of Hernandez's office, but the DNA did not match Hernandez or the victims the Ranger spoke with.
Authorities say more than a dozen boys were involved and that the scandal led to cover ups and beatings.
Lawmakers eventually ordered an overhaul of the system and closed the facility last summer.
The former superintendent, Edward Brookins, is the only official that has been charged in this investigation. Back in April of last year Brookins was sentenced to ten years behind bars.
The Hernandez trial is expected to last several weeks.

Archbishop of Wales says Same Sex Unions deserve the welcome of church
The Archbishop of Wales has lent his support to gay marriage today, saying: "All life-long committed relationships deserved the welcome, pastoral care and support of the Church."
In his presidential address to members of the Church in Wales' Governing Body in Llandudno, Dr Barry Morgan said Christians "need to show how the Gospel of Jesus is good news for gay people".
He said the church had to ask itself whether it would "protect and support pastorally, faithful, stable, lifelong relationships of whatever kind in order to encourage human values such as love and fidelity and recognise the need in Christian people for some public religious support for these".

Congolese people have seen an estimated 6 million of their citizens perish in an unjust war. They have witnessed how the perpetrators of these crimes still roam the streets of their country or are given humanitarian awards and accolades. We hope that all justice seekers around the world will join us in working to deliver justice to the Congolese people.
September 12, 2010
We denounce the mass rapes and war imposed on Eastern Congo by more than seven foreign countries and many capitalist multinationals and the complicit silence and failure to assist Congolese women by the U.N. and other powers. We demand that justice be served to restore the peace and dignity of the Congolese people.

Art Sanctuary at the Alley Theater
1205 E. Washington St. • 713-6178
$12-$18; 8 p.m.
That's something you don't hear about every day — women in prison. Now, I have to admit, I've never actually been to prison, but I'm assuming the women's isn't any cozier than the men's, despite all of that "Camp Cupcake" nonsense we heard about a few years ago. Alley Theater's latest production, "Women Behind Bars," will likely answer any questions about the conditions of these, um, facilities, and what really goes down — or at least what they were like in the 1950s. Tom Eyen's script illustrates the sometimes humorous but mostly shocking goings-on in women's prisons — where inmates are not only dominated by men in the most extreme ways, but tormented by one another, too. Director Kathi E.B. Ellis seeks to raise awareness about the persisting issues presented in the play. —Jane Mattingly

Building industry professionals often times use social platforms to push product. It seems natural right? Well, while showing your product is great, social media allows all of us in the building industry to show more about who we are than the products we offer. For builders, it is the perfect platform to ask your prospects and homeowners exactly what they think and to show them that you are listening. You can ask about which features they prefer, which paint color they like, or something completely unrelated to the industry, such as their favorite local restaurant. The key is that you are showing that you CARE what they think. Wouldn't you prefer to build your new home with a builder who cares about what you think? This week Wayne Homes asked their fans how important the builder/home buyer relationship is on a scale of 1-10. Every person who responded said a 10. Buying a home is not only the most expensive purchase someone will make, it is also the most personal. In today's world, those personal relationships start before someone comes into the sales center or picks up the phone. 500+ people saw this Wayne Homes post. This builder knows that it's about building relationships and the customer service that sets them apart, and that's apparent in all aspects of the home buying process… from social media interactions to selection process to closing and beyond.

This team is beyond pathetic.
No scoring, no heart or passion for the game.
We have a Captain that is a Fourth line player and stars on the penalty kill, shows NO emotion on or off the ice and gets paid 7 Million a year.......not quite cut from the Mark Messier Captain handbook.
How can a professional team LOSE at home? We get the last line change, face off advantage and the best fans inthe world behind the team, and game in and game out, this team stinks up Midtown NYC.
With player like Boyle, Prust, Drury, Reddon, Voros, Anisimvo, Rozival, Shelley (did anyone catch this idiot getting creamed at center ice by Kariya, go for a bad line change and let Kariya skate all alone down the slot to score his 400th goal?)
Who are we kidding talking about the playoffs...this team is closer to being a lottery team than a playoff team

Cologne, Germany… August 17th 2010… GamesCom 2010… Sony takes to the stage for their eagerly awaited press conference. Can they possibly top last year's announcement of the Sony PlayStation 3 Slim? Could we get our first glimpse at the oft-rumoured PSP 2? PSP Phone anyone? Let's find out in our 2 minute rundown...
New PlayStation 3 Move bundle with 320Gb HDD to be available to coinside with the September 17th PlayStation Move UK launch date.
Standard PS3 Slim bundle gets a capacity upgrade from 120Gb to 160Gb.; price stays the same.
New 360GB HDD PS3 hardware bundle coming to Europe… I would expect well in time for the Christmas rush.
Loads of PlayStation Move titles were demoed, most of which you have seen at E3.
New XMB based 'catch-up' streaming TV services for UK and Australia announced. Expected 2010.
Play TV also gets the social network treatment with an update that promises the ability to post comments about what you're currently watching directly to Facebook et al, live chat with others whilst watching live TV, as well as the standard PVR features of being able to pause, rewind, record your favourite programmes.
MUBI – A new independent movie streaming service starting soon throughout Europe that will offer indie movies via the PSN Video Store. MUBI also promises a 'social' experience.
Insomniac announce two new titles: 'Ratchet and Clank: All4One' & 'Resistance 3'.
The new R&C game returns with the tried and tested Pixar style madness – this time with a focus on 4 player multiplayer action. We were also treated to the first official confirmation of the [self-professed] worst kept secret in gaming, Resistance 3… all be it in the form of a live action teaser trailer. Neither games have been given a solid release date yet (R&C is teased for "fall 2011")but it's nice to see Insomniac showing they still have love for the PS3 exclusives following their recent multi-platform announcements.
Killzone 3 Is shown-off (again). Check out the multiplayer video below...
Infamous 2 is teased again, this time to the theme of "House of the Rising Sun". The trailer style is kinda artsy but it's nice to see a return (of sorts) to the "old Cole". The game looks like it's shaping-up nicely for an early 2011 launch. Check out the trailer below...
Media Molecule touted LittleBigPlanet 2 and offered another chance to see their much improved creation tools in the form of a new music editor and cut-scene creator. Although the US release date has been scheduled for November 16, 2010 there is still no solid date for the UK release.
Gran Torismo 5 release date.. err… dated. You can get your hands on the long overdue driving simulator on November 3rd 2010.
Sega's announced Virtua Tennis 4 will be hitting the PS3 in 2011 and will not only be Move compatible, it will also support stereoscopic 3D – for those of you with a couple grand to spare for a shiny new TV.
2k Sports' NBA 2k11 released a debut trailer including your favourite NBA stars of past and present, of course featuring cover-art superstar Michael Jordan.

Hopefully you didn't grab everything from last week's PSN update as this week doesn't really inspire you to login any time soon. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh... maybe not?
Assuming you do decide to take the time what'll you find? Well, there's a fair amount of DLC for Red Alert 3, Street Fighter IV, Unreal Tournament 3, PAIN, Naruto, Sonic and the regular supply of Rock Band and Guitar Hero DLC.
That's about it really. There's always next week I guess.

Last week at Dreamforce 2011, Mark Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com, welcomed me and the 45,000 other attendees to "The Social Enterprise." It is a term Salesforce.com has recently trademarked. While it is not the Social Enterprise that we nonprofits think of, it is a change I think we need to pay attention to.
But first, what was a nonprofit consultant from a small town in Michigan doing at the largest technology conference in the world? I have been helping NorthSky adapt the Salesforce Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Nonprofit Edition to manage contact information and project data in one place and digitally streamline workflows and business processes. Salesforce is a customer relationship management (CRM) platform that is 100% open and cloud- based, meaning there is no software/hardware to install or maintain updates on, and it can easily integrate with other products to customize its functionality. The Salesforce.com foundation donates the first 10 user licenses to 501c(3) nonprofits as a part of their commitment to donate 1% of all products, equity and employee time to charity. Nearly 12,000 nonprofits currently use Salesforce including United Way, the Red Cross and Goodwill.
While I learned a lot at Dreamforce about the nuts and bolts of Salesforce, what hasn't left me since I got back is a tremendous new enthusiasm for the potential of social media platforms, like Salesforce's new Chatter, to change our work as the social sector.The Social Enterprise that Mark Benioff has started talking about are businesses that are beginning to harness social media to do business in a whole new way, to collaborate more effectively with colleagues and customers. This shift has been enabled by the creation of social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and now Salesforce's Chatter, and the move from the "PC Era" to mobile, cloud-based technology.
Why does the social sector need to pay attention to these changes and claim space in this movement? Social media and the cloud are helping us to connect with each other and with information more rapidly than ever before, changing the very way we build, maintain, understand and use relationships. And relationships are the key to our ability to achieve our social missions. Social media will change each and every one of our relationships – our relationships with each other, our supporters, and our clients – we need to get in the game to make this work to our advantage.
The video opening Dreamforce this year clearly set the tone that new social platforms are not just the standard decennial change in technology, but are actually creating a social revolution. Perhaps what made this most clear were the pictures from the Arab Spring of protestors with signs and graffiti that thanked Facebook for their ability to organize and take down regimes.
While the video went on to show how this new social platform could do things for business like push coupons to customers standing right outside a store, I found myself stuck on one question that seemed to have much more weight than good customer service,
What does this social revolution mean for the Social Sector?
Stay tuned to next week's blog as Freya Bradford, NorthSky Consultant, continues to ponder this big question.

It's Time for the Social Sector to Get Social

Great post Freya.. yes, this new social media will and can change the world. We're seeing it all over the world now. Even in African countries where smart phones are being used to communicate (since the telephone infrastructure is so horrible, they've leapt forward with cell phones).ReplyDelete
In India, a small movement to rid government of corruption with a single person fasting until demands were met, turned into an international campaign...all on its own. It's revolutionary and very exciting.

Family Law
Accused of Violating Court Order, Prominent Divorce Lawyer Reaches Pact with His Ex-Wife
Posted May 5, 2010 3:47 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Two years ago, it was Dominic Barbara's wife who was arrested after the well-known New York matrimonial lawyer claimed she threw a plate of pasta at him. (The case was later dropped.)
But now it is Barbara himself who is the focus of court attention, after being arrested Tuesday for allegedly violating a protective order by approaching his former spouse in a Long Island bagel shop, WPIX reports.
Charged with criminal contempt, he apparently was not in a good mood as he gazed at Leslie Barbara during a court hearing today concerning the couple's property settlement:
"Stop staring at her, you are making me nervous," Judge Richard McCord told the matrimonial attorney at one point. "This is a sensitive matter, you're expressing emotions. I don't want it to explode into anything more than that."
After the judge ordered the two divorcing spouses to work it out, according to Newsday (sub. req.), a pact was reached.
In a joint statement, they said they have reached an agreement on "all matters" and do not anticipate that the courts will hear from them again, WPIX reports.

Houma, La. - Terrebonne Parish sheriff's deputies and detectives are asking for the public's help in finding a missing mental patient.
The patient is identified as Elroy Neville, 51, of King Street in Houma.
On Friday at about 6 p.m., deputies responded to a report of a black man in a medical garment walking in the middle of Denley Road and nearly being struck by passing vehicles. Deputies patrolled the area but were unable to locate him.
Then, at approximately 7 p.m., residents of the Ashland North Subdivision called the Sheriff's Office and reported seeing the same man walking toward the marsh at the end of Fallon Drive. Deputies and detectives walked the levee area until after dark but were unable to locate him.
Louisiana State Police also responded and searched the area by helicopter using the spotlight, but they were unable to locate the man.
Family members told detectives that Neville has a mental illness and often has seizures.
The search resumed Saturday but has so far been unsuccessful. A check of area hospitals also turned up negative.
Anyone with information regarding Neville's whereabouts is asked to call the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office at (985)876-2500.

I know where the guy below got his camouflage from, interesting to see KLA wearing the same type
In 1991 Croatia is unarmed....
Italian tourists with Croatian police in Plitvice 1991.
Just imagine, an Italian couple went on vacation and found themselfs in a middle of a war.
Since we had no heavy weapons we had to improvize.
I know where the guy below got his camouflage from, interesting to see KLA wearing the same type
Thats Swiss cammo...no??
No, because Switzerland doesn't use AK-47s.
Not the guns...the cammo.
Are you surprised!Originally Posted by Dima-RussianArms
Yes its an old Swiss camo. You should see how many Albanian Kosovo peoples where in Swiss military surplus shops in 1999.
Isnt it a Steyr Elite rifle?
Amazing trucks, Dado! Great improvisations, they remember me to the armored trucks used in our civil war in 1936!!
The times are not changing so, misseries of war...
Im answering my onwn question. Its a Steyr Scout.Isnt it a Steyr Elite rifle?
Thx for the great pictures!
Coult you please give more information on the Albanian assault rifles?
Type A seems to be a copy of Type 56. Type B and C seem to be modified to fire rifle grenades.
Btw: This picture shows an unknown Albanian (?) submachinegun: The guns were captured from criminals. The smgs are said to be in use with Albanian armed forces and came into the hand of the criminals during the unrests in 1997. The gun seems to have borrowed ideas from the American M3 and the British Sten submachinegun.
Does anyone know the designation of the smg?
Thx in advance!
These picstures are from 1991-1992
Destroyed Serb tank.
Happy Croatian bunch
Brittish volunteers on the Cro side
French volunteer for Cro side
These are the best 2 pictures of the Cro army in 1991 i ever saw
And finally we have a picture of DEATH itsealf coming for the Serbs
Croatian grandma ready for war!
If you look more carefully, you will see that she still has her "regular" granny close underneath the army uniform, meaning that this pic was just a joke.
Phuckin Nazi's!
Croats at the begining of the war
Captured serbs in 1995. You can see a croatian soldier with M16.
By 1995 croats were using Ak47, G3, Fn-FAL, Ultimax, Ero and M16(very small amounts)
Heres the sniper ****nal
[size=6]And here are some more pics of 1991 improvized-Cro armor:[/size]
Armored truck with a 120mm mortar on top of it.
Some more pics of armored tractor
Check out this beast
How dumb can you be?
Phuckin Nazi's!
Sierraone, what does that picture have to do with ex-Yu war?
