First, UK beats UNC....then Alabama beats UF.....then UofL gets crushed at home.....it's almost like Christmas 3 weeks early!!! UofL was missing 3 players and it's not going to help our RPI when we crush them but who doesn't LOVE to watch a good Card whoopin?
A few thoughts on the day.
Everyone talks about Wall and Cousins leaving after one year and we'll certainly miss them but I think Orton and Bledsoe will be a great foundation for next years team. Bledsoe looked pretty cool at the line there at the end and he's got all the skills if he just starts playing within himself. Orton made the play of the game imo, when we were up by 2 and he had the point blank shot block that led to a fast break basket putting us up by 4.
The player I think we're going to miss most next year is Patrick......is he a stud or what? NEVER gets rattled....never stops hustling.....what a heart the kid has!! We let them come back because we quit getting the ball to Patrick....something good happens almost everytime he touches the ball. He's joined Kenny Walker as one of my favorite UK players of all time!!
I did take Tru's advise (from the header of the game thread) and clicked on the UNC link to their SBNation site. It must be brand new or maybe they don't have many fans with computers!!;-) We had hundreds of posts and they had 10. On the post game....we currently have 250+, they didn't have any. Maybe they're all going out to the airport to welcome UNC home!!
Did the first half remind anyone else of UK in the mid 90's? Talk about spurtability....strangely if Kellogg mentioned that during the game, I missed it. I think Coach C is proving to be EVERYTHING we wanted in a coach....just wish we'd have hired him 2 years ago!!
Loosing Wall to cramps obviously took the wind out of our sails but the team never quit hustling....never quit playing solid defense. We lost focus on the offensive end but we also missed some shots that we were hitting in the first half. Bottom line, we won a game against a very good team that we could easily have choked away and we didn't!!
I was pulling for Alabama and thought they played a super game. UF just never seemed to get any rhythm going in the game, they just didn't seem to have their normal focus. I'm kind of tired of Tebow and it'll be great to see him graduate but watching the kid crying at the end shows EXACTLY why he stayed around for his 4th year.....you've got to admire a kid with that kind of heart.
Ah Louisville......the floor stomping and Coach C wanting to play more games in Freedom Hall just seem to be getting under their skin. You'd think with a football Coach to hire, a new arena coming, and the number of injuries they have would be enough to keep their minds off UK but apparently not. LOTS of chatter on their sites about these two subjects!! Living in Louisville.....it's kind of a head scratcher to me because they're going to have a new arena next year anyway.....just don't understand why this is bothering them but it definitely is!!
The only thing that could have made this Saturday any better is if all my Christmas shopping were done!!! Oh well....can't have everything!:-)

The two boys - Eric and Curt - grew up together, dreamers on a dead-end street. Overweight and unathletic, they shied away from rough sports and played with GJ. Joes in their back yards, preferring to conduct their wars in miniature. Down the block was a clan of tough kids, and on many afternoons one of the boys would have to fight his way home from school. "Curt and I were both the same," remembers Eric. "We lived in a fantasy world, and we both got picked on a lot. "
In middle school, Eric became known as a "no-account," Curt as a "geek," and by the time the two boys enrolled in Cobb County's George Walton Comprehensive High School, they welcomed the opportunity to redefine themselves. They lost weight and sprouted tall; they grew their hair long and donned torn jeans and black T-shirts emblazoned with the logos of rock bands - the garb of the "freak." In the parking lot they hung around with kids on Walton's fringe, kids hopped up on anger and rebellion and in some cases, pot and liquor and acid and coke. In time, each of the boys would make a name for himself, becoming familiar to other students as a "character," a bundle of idiosyncrasies, a voice sounding loud over the din.
For all their similarities, however, there is one big difference between Eric Stone and Curt Hersey. One survived high school. The other did not.
From his origins as a geek, Curt grew into an image of cocksureness: a skinny, slouchy kid with black, shoulder-length hair, a penchant for '60s rock 'n' roll and a voice full of pseudo-California cool. He joined Walton's Drama Gub and starred in plays, competed in the Academic Bowl, produced his own videos. He had a pretty girlfriend and, with money from a job at Wendy's, made the payments on a rumbling, red Camaro Z28. He could circulate in rival cliques; he did not drink, use drugs or condone casual sex. In June, he graduated from Walton and prepared to enroll in Berry College.
Eric was neither so fortunate, so smart or so strong-willed. This is his memory of himself: He first smoked pot at 13 and quickly established himself as one of the most notorious of Walton's druggies. He let his kinky blond hair bloom into an enormous frizzball and grew conspicuous for his red eyes and wasted grin. Eric Stoned, the kids called him. Never much of a student, he flunked 10th grade and dropped out of school altogether in May 1987. "One day, I just decided I wasn't going to go anymore," he says. By that time, he had been introduced to the chemical pyrotechnics of LSD and would spend his weekends watching the shapes change on his TV and dinosaurs rise out of the earth. Not long after he dropped out, his parents expelled him from their home, and he took to living in the woods or breaking into churches and sleeping on the pews. On Halloween weekend he attended a Walton party and met an old girlfriend who told him what he himself suspected: "Eric, you're dying." The next morning, he phoned his mother, met her for breakfast and asked for help. He was admitted to Charter Peachford Hospital two weeks later and now works at a McDonald's in Cobb County.
This is the story of how two teen-agers with such similar beginnings can come to such different ends. It is the story of Eric Stone and Curt Hersey and the millions of other adolescents stewing in the unforgiving melting pot of American high schools. It is the story of the opportunities available to stop the slide of kids like Eric and how those opportunities are too often squandered. It is the story of how parents can alert themselves to the intangibles separating the winners from the losers. It is the story of surviving high school.

University acceptance down 7%
There's been a fall in the number of students already accepted for university places, down 7% this year, compared with 2011.
There are various reasons for this, such as tuition fees - now up to £9,000 a year - putting teenagers off higher education.
So what are the options for students who know that university isn't for them? Liz Wickham has been finding out.


text: Share this news story The band, which features Young Marble Giant's Alison Statton, will see their early demos issued on vinyl for the first time in March. Blackest Ever Black will issue Weekend's demos on vinyl on March 3rd. Weekend is the band that Alison Statton formed after her seminal post-punk outfit Young Marble Giants disbanded in 1980. She struck up a partnership with Reptile Ranch member Spike Williams and, later, guitarist Simon Booth (who would go on to form Working Week later in the decade). The three worked on demos in 1981 as a trio, before they brought three more musicians into the fold for their 1982 debut album La Varieté, which had a much jazzier bent. As a result, The '81 Demos are rawer than the recordings that would come later, with the label claiming they bear more resemblance to Young Marble Giants than the form Weekend would take on their LP. The demos were originally released on CD in 1995 and then tacked on as bonus tracks to a reissue of La Varieté, but this will mark the first time they've been issued on vinyl.

The Baptist Care Foundation
A Vision of Great Value
Baptist Care (SA) is the Community Services and Aged Care ministry of the Baptist Churches of South Australia. It exists 'to encourage, support, influence and extend those ministries of the Baptist Churches of South Australia that encourage hope, develop skills, alleviate distress, enrich life and otherwise express through practical actions the love of God and the compassion and redemptive purposes of Jesus Christ to people who are aged and for the direct relief of poverty, sickness, suffering, distress, misfortune, disability or helplessness.' (Clause 4.1 of Baptist Care Constitution)
Historically, apart from much valued donor support received from within the Baptist Community applied to operating the WestCare Centre and limited user income, most Baptist Care funding results from delivering programs defined by Government policy allocated through tender processes.
Whilst these programs certainly fit within Baptist Care's constitutional imperative, because of funding constraints they have no guarantee of longevity beyond the current tender period and their longevity, continuity and long term outcomes are often defined by changes in Government policy and other factors.
Enhanced value could be released through ongoing availability to Baptist Care of discretionary funding for programs of its own choice that, for whatever reason, Government funding is not available to satisfy.
The Baptist Care (SA) Foundation has been established to harvest this possibility and DGR (Deductible Gift Recipient) status obtained.Share This

CHICAGO, Ill. (September 15, 2010) - Bellator Fighting Championships today officially announced a September 30 Season 3 Women's semi-final fight between explosive striker Zoila "The Warrior Princess" Frausto and top submission specialist Jessica "Jag" Aguilar at Bellator 31, taking place at L'Auberge du Lac Resort in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
"Zoila and Jessica were both very impressive in their quarterfinal wins, so fans should expect a great fight between these two fast-rising stars in women's MMA," said Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney. "Whoever is eventually crowned Bellator Women's Champion, they will have certainly earned that title."
To get to this point, both Frausto and Aguilar faced tough competition in the Bellator quarterfinals. "The Warrior Princess" made her way to the final four at Bellator 25 when she faced the previously undefeated Jessica Pene, who entered the fight holding a perfect 7-0 record.
After three rounds of punishing Pene with a wide range of strikes, Frausto was not only awarded a 30-27 unanimous decision victory, but the fight against Aguilar in the semi-finals.
Making her Bellator debut in the Season 3 opener in Hollywood, Fla., Aguilar squared off against Lynn "Lights Out" Alvarez in quarterfinal action. An overmatched Alvarez had no answer for the dangerous submission arsenal of Aguilar, who finished the fight in the first round with an air-tight arm-triangle choke to move onto the semi-finals at Bellator 31. Aguilar knows the chance to become the first Bellator Women's Champion is within reach, and is ready for the challenge.
"Becoming the first Bellator Women's Champion is very important to me," said Aguilar. "This has been my dream since I started my MMA career, and this is the opportunity to make it all come true. I want to leave my legacy as the first-ever Bellator Women's Champion."
Frausto holds similar beliefs, and has her sights set on becoming champion. "Winning this tournament would be a dream come true," said Frausto. "Winning this tournament would make me the best of the best, and I want that more than anything in the world right now and will do anything in my power to accomplish that."

Buffalo Bills RB C.J. Spiller had another productive day in the team's running back-by-committee. Against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7, Spiller had 12 carries for 70 rushing yards, and added six receptions for 32 yards, for 102 total yards.
The Bills went on to lose 35-34 on a late comeback from the Titans.
Fantasy Impact: As expected, he split equal time with Fred Jackson (Jackson had 17 touches compared to Spiller's 18), but both were productive against the Titans' porous defense. Spiller seems completely healed from his shoulder injury, and he can be considered a solid flex option going forward.
That won't happen any time soon, however, The Bills have a bye in Week 8 and face Houston's imposing defense in Week 9. Spiller and Jackson are iffy fantasy plays there.

It's that time of year again—flu season is starting and pharmacies nationwide are stocking up on vaccines. But it's slightly different this time around, as some companies are offering a shot of something extra.
This season's flu shot is available and for the first time in 30 years, there's now a vaccine to cover more than just the traditional 3 strains.
Dr. Tina Stefanski with the Office of Public Health explains, "For the first time, this year, the flu covers four strains, type A and type B."
The quadrivalent variety is available in both intra-nasal and shot form. However, not all the traditional flu shots have the fourth strain. And you better act fast if you do want the four-strain vaccine, since there's only a limited quantity and not all pharmacies carry it.
"If your provider does not have the quadrivalent, you should still get the flu shot. There's no one better product than the other," said Stefanski.
And also for the first time, an egg-free vaccine is available for those with serious egg-allergies. Stefanski says since the height of flu season changes year-to-year, it's best to get the shot early before you see others getting sick.
"The one saying about the flu is that the one thing predictable about the flu is that it's unpredictable," said Stefanski.
Check with your health provider to see if you are healthy enough to receive the flu vaccine.

Shreveport police are investigating after shots were fired at a car full of college students injuring one in the MLK neighborhood Monday morning.
It happened just before 1 a.m. at the Cooper Road Plaza apartments also known as the Peach Street apartments in the 2900 block of Peach Street. Police say four male college students met up with some girls to go to a party. When the college students pulled up at the apartments, shots were fired hitting the vehicle. One man was hit in the shoulder and hand.
The driver sped away from the apartment to a home a few blocks away where one of the students lived on Hersey D. Wilson Drive. The victim was taken to the hospital by private vehicle. He is expected to survive.
The college students told officers they don't know who shot at them. Police are still searching for a suspect.

Pollinator Conservation
Pollinators are essential to our environment. The ecological service they provide is necessary for the reproduction of over 85 percent of the world's flowering plants, including more than two-thirds of the world's crop species. The United States alone grows more than one hundred crops that either need or benefit from pollinators, and the economic value of these native pollinators is estimated at $3 billion per year in the U.S. Beyond agriculture, pollinators are keystone species in most terrestrial ecosystems. Fruits and seeds derived from insect pollination are a major part of the diet of approximately 25 percent of all birds, and of mammals ranging from red-backed voles to grizzly bears. In many places, the essential service of pollination is at risk from habitat loss, pesticide use, and introduced diseases.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell selected Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin as the newest member of the NFL competition committee, replacing former Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt. Tomlin had previously served on the coaches subcommittee.
Tomlin joins the eight person committee of NFL coaches and executives (Tomlin is the third coach along with Jeff Fisher and Marvin Lewis) and said he was honored by the selection. "I am excited for the opportunity to help maintain and strengthen the NFL game, and I look forward to contributing any way that I can," Tomlin said.
It is an interesting position for Tomlin, as the Steelers players have been among the most vocal in opposition of recent changes to the NFL rules regarding player safety. As a member of the competition committee Tomlin would help suggest any future rule changes.
Commissioner Goodell praised Tomlin and believes he will be a valuable contributor to the committee. Goodell said, "Mike has strong, perceptive views about the game and is effective in expressing them. We look forward to his contributions to the Committee's ongoing mission to improve the game."

High winds fueled a hay fire at a cattle feeding company near Norfolk, Nebraska.
The fire broke out just before two o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the Coe Cattle Company. The feedlot is located at 3409 South 37th Street. According to the captain of the Norfolk Fire Division, it took six fire trucks and 25 firefighters to put out the fire.
The captain says it appears a hay grinder started the fire. The fire destroyed about 90 tons of hay.

Overcoming Challenges to Community Wind Will Result in Big Benefits
Overcoming Challenges to Community Wind Will Result in Big Benefits
Date: 3/11/2009
Location: MN
Source: Stacia Cudd, National Association of Farm Broadcasting News Service
Audio with Mark Willers, Minwind Energy CEO (MP3 2.1 MB) Download Windows Media Player. Time: 00:02:14.
It isn't always easy getting a community wind project started — but the benefits are worth the effort. That's according to Mark Willers, CEO of Minwind Energy, a company formed by agricultural producers and leaders in Minnesota.
Among the barriers to achieving a broad and robust build-out of a community-owned wind future, according to Willers, are the need for large amounts of capital quick, the permitting procedure, and the United States tax code.
"The tax code continues to be an interesting situation of who can use certain aspects of a project, who we combine with, that's always a challenge. The key couple of components over the last several years has been the cost of turbines in a market that is expanding rapidly; the ability to hook to a transmission system, studies take time. It's a pre-capital intensive market and people need to understand it takes awhile to do it correctly."
Willers says the challenge of securing capital is an even bigger issue due to the current economic climate. He says that could lead to some changes in the area of community wind.
"In the long-term, right now where capital is in the marketplace, we're going to see a much different ownership model in the next five years than we did in the last five years. Because of where capital is laying, who can have access to it, I think that we're going to have to look at all different models."
But with the right model in place, Willers says communities greatly benefit from community wind projects.
"You can keep extra revenues from the wind turbines in the local community. And also, not only do you have the local ownership piece, but you also have, like in our projects, we have young children do tours, we have the physics and mathematics classes from schools do problem solving and we help the kids with some of those. So they're interested in getting into renewable sources of energy and they learn about it and they see where it's going on and they understand that people can do this."
Some of the models currently in practice include the Minnesota Flip, the Cooperative model, and the Minwind model.

News broke around 9:30 this morning, Minnesota time, that Brett Favre was starting to tell people he would not be back for a 20th season.
At that moment, the Vikings were 30 minutes deep into their morning practice. Word apparently started spreading through the crowd in Mankato, creating a buzz during an otherwise vanilla practice session.
As for the players, including the ones Favre reportedly was texting about his intentions, they appeared to be the last ones on Earth to know what was up.
The media caught up with them after practice to talk to them about a variety of topic: Brett.
And yet they seem to be as in the dark as everyone else is.
So either "This is it" was followed by "And don't tell anyone I said this," or the reports about Favre texting teammates just wasn't true.
What do I think happened? Brett called a Vikings official or two and said he was not coming back. Those people then told Favre to hang in there another week or two and then decide.
We have not heard from Favre today and probably won't.
Word is trickling in from a family member that Favre hasn't made up his mind. That holds more worth for me right now than anything else.
Until then I am going with the assumption that nothing has changed from yesterday.

Scott Vestal was born May 8, 1962 in Duncan, OK. The older of two children, music was a constant from Scott's early age. His Grandfather, Famon Self, an old time country fiddler with lots of patience, showed Scott his first chords on the guitar. Scott and his brother, Curtis, would play and sing with their Grandfather at various events ranging from parades to nursing homes to bluegrass festivals. At age 13 Scott got his first 5-string banjo and began learning from the records his Father had around the house, ranging from Flatt and Scruggs to New Grass Revival. After a few years, and many hours of practice, he was playing in contests and touring with local bands across the U.S.
His professional career began at the age of 18 when he moved from Texas to the East Coast to work with Larry Sparks. After performing and recording with Larry for a year, Scott struck out on his own and helped form Southern Connection, which toured the Midwest and East Coast for 3 years.
In 1985, Scott joined Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver performing in the U.S., Canada, and Europe as a member of the critically acclaimed quartet. Four years and five award winning albums later, he once again struck out to broaden his musical knowledge with his own group, Livewire, spent six months touring Japan with an acoustic jazz ensemble, and had a starring role in Phyllis McBride's critically acclaimed original musical production, Cowboy Cafe.
Upon returning home from Japan, Scott got a call from singer/songwriter extraordinaire, Harley Allen to move to Nashville and form a band with him and David Parmley. After a while Harley found that his writing schedule would not allow him to be on the road, thus the beginning of David Parmley, Scott Vestal, and Continental Divide, who went on to record three award winning projects and tour the US and Canada over the next 5 years. During this time Scott was awarded Banjo Player of the Year in 1996 by the International Bluegrass Music Association, and 1998 Banjo Player of the Year by the Bluegrass Now Magazine Fan's Choice Awards.
While working on the Johnny Staats project Scott had a chance to visit with John Cowan and decided they should hook up and play some music together. This situation gave Scott a chance to really stretch out and broaden his musical horizons not just playing banjo but incorporating his solid body electric midi banjo into the show and onto the two CD's they recorded together as the John Cowan Band.In addition to being an outstanding musician, Scott is also a composer, writing nine of the thirteen compositions on his first solo project, "In Pursuit Of Happiness", and nine out of twelve on his latest release, "Millennia".
Scott does a lot of session work around Nashville,TN, these days and has his own recording studio where he engineers and produces various projects including an award winning series of instrumental recordings for Pinecastle Records, and has worked with the likes of Bill Monroe, Sam Bush, David Lee Roth, John Jorgenson, Tim O'Brien, Jim Lauderdale, Rick Moranis, Shawn Camp, Ralph Stanley, Ricky Skaggs, Ronnie Bowman, Pat Flynn, Jerry Douglas, John Cowan, Tony Rice, Vassar Clements, Tony Williamson, and many others.
Along with his busy recording schedule Scott will be touring with the Sam Bush Band starting in early 2005. Be sure to check out the new CD by The Sam Bush Band "Laps In Seven" on Sugar Hill Records due to be released June 13, 2006.
In addition to that, Scott and his wife Alice Newman Vestal are about to release their first CD together "Goin' To The Dance". The release date is set for June 27, 2006. It is a collection of mostly originals by Alice and Scott along with some of their favorite song writers. The project features Byron House, Chris Brown, Randy Kohrs, Steve Thomas, Jeff Autry, Casey Driessen, and Bobby Newman. You can check out a couple of tunes at the ASV site.

I applaud the members of this site who are usually pretty good at refraining from political commentary, as tempting as it often is, but every once in a while I see something that really irks me. Maybe I'm flying solo here, or maybe you think I'm being hypersensitive, but every political comment I've read on this site leans in one direction, while I unabashedly lean the other. Until now, I've resisted my instinct to respond in kind because I don't want to see this site turn into one of the plethora of existing sites that have devolved into virtual foghorns, blasting out non-constructive, vitriolic rhetoric that unnecessarily exasperates the country's political divide. I imagine others feel the same and have similarly decided to keep quiet. But my life is deluged with enough legal/political discussion/debate as it is, and the Podium Cafe is one place I visit regularly to escape all that ugliness and have some fun.
So please folks, don't ruin that.
Okay, excoriate away.

"Some of the weirdest, biggest, creepiest, crawliest, spiniest, most bizarre-looking caterpillars that you never knew were just living in your own backyard," said Larry Clarfeld of the North Branch Nature Center.
In your backyard and at North Branch Nature Center in Montpelier, where you can find caterpillars on leaves, in terrariums and even the occasional escapee scooting down a tablecloth.
This is what Larry Clarfeld calls caterpillar-wrangling-- keeping track of the squirmy species he studies, like the black swallowtail.
"We have over a thousand different types of moths and more than 100 different types of butterflies, and each has its own unique caterpillar," Clarfeld said.
Now, these are only the local stars of the show. On Saturday, they're getting ready to host some impressive out-of-town visitors.
"The largest of the caterpillars are probably going to be four to 6 inches long, and like I said, they're very easy to handle," Clarfeld said.
It's the first ever live caterpillar show in Vermont, showcasing more than 50 different caterpillars from around New England. Caterpillar expert Sam Jaffe-- one of Clarfeld's former classmates-- will be teaching kids and adults about the strange-looking insects they can find in our region.
"Well, there are so many. And they're so bizarre. Basically your imagination is the limits for what caterpillars can do," Clarfeld said. "There's one called the Harris's Three Spot that every time it grows bigger and sheds its skin, it will save the old skin of its head and wear it around like a hat. And each time it sheds, it adds a new old head to its hat until at the end it's walking around with several old heads on top of its real head."
Just one of many creepy crawlies soon to take center leaf in Vermont.
Clarfeld says there will also be arts and crafts, microscopes to view the caterpillars up close, and walks for people to learn how to spot them. The show is this Saturday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. at the North Branch Nature Center and costs anywhere from $3 to $5.

LOS ANGELES — 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin flew into a rage on Twitter after an American Airlines flight attendant booted him off a plane for playing an online game during preparations for takeoff.
Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving.
Alec Baldwin (@AlecBaldwin) December 06, 2011
But, oddly, 30 Rock plays inflight on American.
Alec Baldwin (@AlecBaldwin) December 06, 2011
Baldwin said he was allowed to take a later flight from Los Angeles to New York but vowed never to use the airline again.

Alec Baldwin (@AlecBaldwin) December 06, 2011
In a response to the actor's initial complaint, also posted on the micro-blogging website, American Airlines said:
@AlecBaldwin Mr. Baldwin, we are looking into this. Please DM us contact information.—
American Airlines (@AmericanAir) December 06, 2011
An American Airlines spokesman declined to comment on the incident, saying the company would not weigh in on "something that might or might not have happened," due to customer privacy concerns.
In response to complaints tweeted by Baldwin's fans, American Airlines tweeted:
@iam_nikkihayden We won't, Nicole. Our flight attendants were following federal safety procedures on electronic devices.—
American Airlines (@AmericanAir) December 07, 2011
Other passengers said Baldwin was removed after an angry confrontation with the flight attendant.
"He was turning off his devices and, I don't know, he just got a little angry," former boxing champion Oscar De La Hoya, a fellow passenger on the flight, told reporters in New York.
"He was on his phone. He didn't want to get off his phone. Then he snuck into the bathroom, he became a little bit irate, and they had to remove him from the flight," another passenger said.
Baldwin's spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.

A shanked punt led to a Bears TD and then a Smitty slip led to a pick 6 and the lead was gone. Yet the offense rallied to get the lead back on Justin Medlock's fifth FG only to watch the Bears march down and kick the winner with 0:00 on the clock. This one would hurt if it hadn't happened multiple times already this season.
The Good
The defense was dominant early in this game getting 6 sacks and two turnovers. The first was a nice INT by rookie Josh Norman. It was the first of his career. Likewise DE Greg Hardy might have had the best half of his career, getting 3 sacks. DE Charles Johnson added 2 sacks and a forced fumble and recovery.
The Bad
The offense managed to move the chains against the Bears defense but too often settled for FGs instead of scoring touch downs. Though the Panthers were 10 for 19 on 3rd down (52%) they could only punch it into the end zone once and they almost blew that one too when Newton fumbled the ball just before crossing the goal line.
A runner up here has to be the prevent, soft coverage we played on defense on the last drive. How could we let them throw the same short left slant on 5 straight passes? It's totally maddening to watch.
The Ugly
I'm not sure which play was uglier the 6 yard punt by Nortman or the pick 6 by Newton. Probably the punt since the INT was more Smitty slipping than Newton's throw. The shank was the beginning of the end for the Panthers and given they way everyone is on a short leash in Carolina Nortman had better turn it around quickly.
We will look at individual performances later but for now...
This is Now a Post Game Open thread!

This is our East Store page.
The dog days of summer are upon us and here at Bloomingfoods East, we are ready to help keep the summer swing going and at the same time help you get back into the swing of the school year.
Right now, Bloomingfoods East has sardines from Supreme Lobster on sale. Sardines (Pacific, wild-caught) are one of the healthiest foods we can consume, according to health and environmental experts. These nutritional powerhouses are one of the best sources of omega-3 fats, with a whopping 1,950 mg/per 3 oz. (that's more per serving than salmon, tuna or just about any other food) and they're packed with vitamin D. What do you do with them? Why grill them, of course. Wrapped in grape or fig leaves, grilled over charcoal with olive oil and lemon is just about perfect. Since they are whole sardines, you do have to deal with the bones. The best way to do this is to split or butterfly your sardines. Do this and you will only have a few gossamer bones remaining, and they are soft enough to eat safely. You can also fillet fresh sardines and marinate them in salt, olive oil and lemon juice to make a Mediterranean version of ceviche. This is a common way to serve sardines in Greece, Spain and Italy. Fresh sardines are also good filleted and baked. They go well with full-flavored sauces, especially tomato sauces. Spicy, citrusy salsas also work well. But the bottom line is this: If you buy fresh sardines, simplicity is the key. Enjoy the rich flavor of the fish with little more than salt, lemon and a little olive oil. Supreme Lobster Sardines: $3.99/lb.
The newest addition to the Bloomingfoods family is almost ready to open its doors. Yes, I'm talking about our new store located in the Elm Heights neighborhood of Bloomington. This store will be the flagship of our meat and seafood departments, with a full service meat and seafood counter and all the retail ready meats that you have come to love. Our new store will also carry all the specialty and charcuterie meats that currently are available at our existing locations with a few new surprises as well. So when you get a chance, stop on in at the new Elm Heights Bloomingfoods and check out what all the excitement is about.
Josh Hermes
Bloomingfoods Meat Buyer
With all the busyness of opening up a new store, we still have found some time to bring in a few new items that I've highlighted below. Enjoy!
Have a little taste of our brand new granola in the Bulk Department. Maple Pecan Dream Granola from Golden Temple is a blend of whole rolled oats, rolled wheat, coconut, pecans, puffed rice, puffed corn, and natural maple flavors. It is cooked to a light golden brown color and has a predominantly nutty aroma.
For all you fermentation fans out there, check out our new Wildbrine items in the refrigerated section at the back of the store. They're pretty delicious! We brought in: Arame Ginger Sauerkraut Salad, Madras Curry Cauliflower Sauerkraut Salad, Red Beet and Red Cabbage Sauerkraut Salad, and Miso Horseradish Kimchi. "Wildbrine™ products are made with a new twist on the time-honored process of brining or fermenting foods. Fermentation is a natural, traditional method of preserving the harvest that maintains the health benefits of raw food, boosting its nutritional value, and delivering deliciously complex and balanced flavors! While Wildbrine utilizes the age-old technique of fermentation to preserve the nutritional value of raw foods, our flavor profiles are targeted to be in line with today's culinary and health conscious consumer. All our products are 100% natural and wild-fermented. We use no vinegar! With everything we do, we stick to our philosophy: Fermentation is Wild!™"
By customer request we have brought in a few new items including:
Blk. Water, Maine Coast Seasoning with Cayenne, Glutino English Muffins and Food For Life Gluten Free English Muffins. If nothing else you should take a look at the blk.water! From their website:
blk.(bee • el • kay) n.
blk is the first ever fulvic-enhanced all-natural mineral water. blk is what happens when fulvic trace minerals are added to pure water. blk is powerful electrolytes and a high pH. blk is serious hydration. blk is a delicious beverage without any sugar, carbs or calories.
Talenti Gelato Pops: A new line from one of our most popular frozen brands! Coffee Chocolate Chip, Sea Salt and Double Dark Chocolate all dipped in a decadent dark chocolate. (FYI they make for a wonderful lunch on a hot summer day!)
With gardening and bird watching being America's first and second most popular hobbies, you're almost certain to find just the right gift for that special someone. And for yourself!
Garden seeds make an inexpensive gift or stocking stuffer. Our packet seeds are already here; as before, the basic vegetables are also available in bulk, so you can get just as much as you need.
Check out the AeroGarden table top hydroponic system. Just like on the TV cooking shows, you can turn to your living basil or rosemary plant and harvest the freshest leaves possible, right from your kitchen counter.
When it's time to start tomatoes and peppers, use our seed starting cells with extra high dome and a heat mat. Grow lights would also be a useful gift.
Noah Smith Tools in Linton is making wonderful hand tools, available a la carte or in a handsome wooden trug. They may look like instant antiques, but they're also very well designed and meant to be used.
House plants, including Christmas cactuses and poinsettias, brighten the holidays.
Share the bounty with a bird feeder or two, or three. At our house, we have four feeders hanging from the eave just outside the living room window, as well as several on shepherd hooks in the front and back yards. A source of fresh water is also important for wildlife, and the Garden Center carries birdbaths and electric deicers.
Bird seed is available year around in large bags as well as 5 pounders so you can try out different blends. The gift is the enjoyment of watching the birds at close range and the good feeling of generosity.
To make your gift selection even easier, at the Garden Center we are assembling collections based on themes: seed starting, young gardeners, bird watching, etc. in a variety of sizes.
Whatever your gift giving needs, be sure to stop by the Bloomingfoods Garden Center in the small building and in the Patio Room open every day 10 – 7.

New at the Garden Center:
We've already had our first few snowflakes. Fall is definitely here, and with it the cooler weather actually preferred by certain plants in the garden – lettuce, kale, Swiss chard, mustard greens, bok choi, as well as some you might not be familiar with, but which are certainly worth trying, such as mâche and claytonia. Sugar acts as the plant's internal antifreeze, so with the approach of frosty weather, brassicas turn their starch into sugar, resulting in sweeter, milder Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, and the like.
To help you protect the slightly less hardy lettuce and spinach, the East Garden Center now has frost blanket in bulk. Measure your raised bed or area you would like to protect an additional 8 degrees, remembering to cover the ends of the rows as well, then come in and we'll roll out just as much of this heavy duty row cover as you need. It weighs 1.5 oz. per square yard and is 6 feet wide. The material lets both light and rain through, but holds in warmth. Multiple strips can be joined or overlapped to protect wider beds. This is what I did to cover my 4' wide raised bed; the cover is held in place with clothespins, attaching it to a frame made from ½ inch CPVC plumbing pipe.
Garden seeds for the 2014 season are already here! The Livingston Seed Company sent their packets in early November so that we would be able to offer an outstanding selection well before the big box stores. We have some exciting new products this time, including a mix of several colors of carrots, not just orange and purple.
Dave Smith of Linton is making garden trugs for us – handsome wooden boxes for carrying the handmade tools you may remember seeing last year. He has developed some new tools as well. Be sure to stop in and try them in your hand.
You've no doubt noticed the hydroponic gardens at the south end of the Patio Room. We are expanding this line with the AeroGarden, a table top unit that makes it a snap to grow herbs and vegetables right in your kitchen all year around.
The Garden Center is now home to the Sprouting Seeds department. Sprouts are very easy to grow, and make a tasty and extra nutritious addition to sandwiches, salads, stir fry, or even eaten straight out of the jar. Try fenugreek, clover, alfalfa, broccoli, mung bean, lentil, sunflower, and several more varieties.
Looking for a holiday centerpiece? Need to make up with someone? The Garden Center is now in charge of cut flowers for bouquets. We also have an outstanding selection of low-light houseplants including decorative and medicinal aloes in the Patio Room.
Christmas trees will be arriving early in Thanksgiving week. Things will become very busy in the Garden Center then, so right now would be a very good time to beat the rush and come check out our new offerings. Our hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day.

An organization with a solid reputation for helping those in need may have been betrayed by one of its own. An employee at "Lighthouse of Oakland County" is now under investigation for stealing thousands of dollars from the charity. It turns out this isn't the first time the suspect has been accused of embezzlement.Fox two confirming with several sources that the feds are looking into Linda Linseman who is listed as a program manager at the "Lighthouse of Oakland County." She was in charge of using money from the feds to help people with housing needs, rent and utility payments. Sources tell Fox two she is accused of taking thousands of dollars that was meant to help local families get back on their feet. She has not been formally charged, but she has a prior embezzlement conviction on her record. It was more than 10 years ago from a company called Postal Annex in Waterford. Linseman is not currently working at the Lighthouse while this investigation continues. If she is convicted, Linseman could be in for a hefty punishment at the hands of the feds.

A pet owner has had to pay out more than £200 in vet bills after his Jack Russell was attacked by a mastiff-type dog.
Michael Banner, 48, and wife Joanne, 40, were walking their dog Rusty in East Town Park, Haverhill, at about 11.30am on Thursday, February 13.
The pair came across a man who was walking a large, brown dog with short hair. Both dogs were off-lead.
Rusty went over to sniff the brown dog which then grabbed the Jack Russell in its mouth and shook it.
Mr Banner, of Helions Park Avenue, said: "Rusty seemed to jump up to say hello or something, I'm not sure, and the next thing we know the other dog had him in his jaw.
"We got him released, and then my little dog ran down into the river because he was scared."
Mr Banner had to free his animal from the mouth of the other dog, sustaining bites to both of his hands.
He is on antibiotics for the cuts, which required stitches. Rusty has had to have stitches and has a large bruise on his back.
Mr Banner said that as he and his wife encountered the other owner, he told the couple he had only collected his dog the Monday before from a rescue home and "didn't know how he would be".
Following the incident, the other owner was "concerned and upset" about what happened, but Mr Banner told him to "go away" because the brown dog was frightening Rusty, he said.
The owner of the brown dog is described as a white male with a stocky build.
Mr Banner added: "I don't want the dog to be destroyed because that would be horrible – I just think the owner should be told to keep the dog under control and on a lead.
"I just don't want this to happen to anyone else."
Anyone with information can call PC Christian Thomas on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 111 555.

You can see it on the boob tube if you have comcast as your cable provider hopefully at 5:30p EST and Midnight. Then again England naming Roy Hodgson could change those plans.

Granted grading draft picks is an exercise in futility, but I like me some futility now and then. So lets look at our draft.
Round 1: DE Cameron Heyward
Hes a big dude, projects well into our system. I have some concerns however:
1. Name is bothersome. Cameron is a bisexual name. Gotta be careful with that kind of indecision. Play action or misdirection runs could be a big problem.
2. Last name sounds like Wayward. Meaning he could be lost. Alternate interpretation means "Hey, Ward" and could show a previous life friendship with Hines Ward. Undecided on the gravity of this factor.
On the positive side:
Father was a footballer. Large head = larger brain = better player. But he did have some issues. Still, football in the blood is a good sign.
Hes young and the D-Line isnt.
Final Grade: B+
Round 2: OT Marcus Gilbert
A big OT with shorter arms who shows versatility at various line positions, something that we love since we play musical chairs on the line every game. Could anchor the right side. Knows Pouncey.
Negatives: Short arms. Could mean he can't reach down to tie shoes mid game. Possibly can't scratch where it itches. Not going to be a good tackle-eligible receiver with short arms. Florida boy may not like cold Pittsburgh winter.
Positives: Knows Pouncey. Chemistry. Pouncey will probably be our coach in 20 years so expect Gilbert to follow him into a OC role. I expect the full Florida line to become our coaching staff in two decades by form of coup de etat.
Final Grade: A-
Round 3: CB Curtis Brown.
Smaller body but quick athletic CB that can jump into the stratusphere and can catch also.
Negatives: May possibly jump out of the stadium. Lightweight could cause him to orbit around obese Cleveland fans who have a gravitational pull. Needs to put on about 10-15 lbs.
Positives: Went to a quality school. Initials are CB which shows a great level of commitment to the position.
Final Grade: B-
Round 4: CB Cortez Allen
Bigger CB from a small school. Played very well against questionable competition.
Negatives: May possibly be an illegal immigrant. Need to check green card. May miss time in game for stomach problems from all those burritos he eats.
Positives: His name sounds like a conquistador and his last name is my mother's maiden name, so he could be my family. will call to ask for money.
Final Grade: A
I've run out of time so this is the first half. Enjoy. Comment below.

News: Miguel's Camp Says Stop Lying, Drop Kicks Alleged Music Awards Warning
Thursday, Jun 6, 2013 8:54AM
R&B singer Miguel's camp has fired back at accusations and claims that he was specifically told not to do any dangerous acts, especially a crowd jump, during his set at the Billboard Music Awards last month.
According to Miguel's rep, the singer did not receive any warning or request prior to taking the stage.
Miguel has responded to reports suggesting that producers warned him not to jump during his Billboard Music Awards performance, where he accidentally kicked a fan in the head, telling Us Weekly that he was not told any special instruction before taking the stage. "The reports claiming that Miguel was warned by producers not to jump are completely false," his rep tells Us. "A number of attempts were made to reach Khyati and her lawyer after the performance to see how she was doing and whether any assistance could be offered," his rep shares. "Khyati's well-being has been and continues to be of the utmost concern to Miguel." (Us Magazine)
Yesterday, reports sprouted online claiming the crooner ignored specific orders not to crowd jump during his televised set.
Miguel was ORDERED not to attempt a dangerous jump over the crowd during his performance at the Billboard Music Awards because producers believed it was too dangerous ... but the singer ignored them ... sources connected to the production tell TMZ. We're told ... Miguel approached producers before rehearsals and asked if he could try to jump over the crowd during his performance ... but producers shot down the idea, telling Miguel it was just too dangerous. But when showtime came around, Miguel blew off the order ... and producers' fears were realized when he botched the jump and leg dropped a female fan ... slamming her head against the stage. Now, the victim's lawyer says she may have suffered a brain injury as a result ... and a lawsuit could be on the way. (TMZ)
Last week, he detailed his exact emotions immediately following the leg drop although did not mention the pre-performance warning.
"Honestly, I'll take you through the whole thing. Day one, the day of, I was mortified. First of all, you have to remember I'm still human so my natural inclination is to be, 'Are you okay?' That's the natural thing to do. But the professional part is, 'You have to finish the show.' Finish and then deal with everything. Had I stopped the show, had I stopped it, it would have been even worse. It would have been extremely worse, on national television -- it would have been mayhem. So, finish the show, rush to the girl, soon as the camera pops off, rush to the girl, 'Are you okay? Come on - I escort her myself, never mind who's around, 'Get out of the way, we need help.' ... After making sure she was okay, the producers asked if I wanted to do an interview and I'm like, 'She just...' You know what I'm saying? That's kind of inhuman. Interestingly, she was actually a really good sport about it. She was like, 'No, I would love to. Great.' And I haven't seen the interview. We did it actually like five minutes afterward. But I know I was super uncomfortable just like -- fast forward, two days later after it all kind of fizzled, and I'm looking at memes and pictures of myself, like, I can't help but laugh. Like, what do you do? It's funny, I'm sorry, it's funny and I can't even front." (Kiss F Muk)
A day prior, reports suggested the victim was experiencing problems after the on-stage mishap.
The last thing Miguel wants is a lawsuit. But he may just have one. Khyati Shah--the audience member who was accidentally landed on by the singer during his performance at the Billboard Music Awards a few weeks back--is now "considering" legal action. Shah's attorney, Vip Bhola, tells E! News exclusively that a decision will be made soon on whether to file a lawsuit against Miguel pending Khyati's most recent medical results. He noted that the fan has been experiencing "difficulties" as a result of the incident. (E!)

Told you there would be more :). Anyway, there are many different opinions but, the most common I've seen are either
Melvin Ingram or Ryan Tannehill. So for this one I will stick on the Tannehill theory. First I just wanna say there is only 15 days till the draft so I'm gonna let all of these opinions out in that time. It's not like there is anything else to write about. Besides it will all be over after the draft so just enjoy it while you can. Now about the whole Tannehill thing I'm kinda on the fence about him, yes he is a good prospect and has a great understanding from the Recievers point of view. But, does he have enough experience to go to the NFL and will he do good under Philbin and Sherman? We will see.
Round 1- Ryan Tannehill- An apparently good QB because of the understanding he has from the time he played Reciever. In fact he played QB for only one year... Is that long and good enough??? We won't know until we see him, and will he do good under Sherman's system again. Can Philbin train him like he did Rogers well I guess we will see. Plus we might not even draft him.
Round 2- Andre Branch- Had great strength and showed a lot of improvement throughout the season. This guy has great speed and stamina and when he gets going he doesn't stop. He has had a few multi-sack games in his college carrer and has shown he can give tackles with great skill a hard time. A great prospect in the second and even better if we get Tannehill.
Round 3a- Zebrie Sanders- In college this guy showd that when a left tackle gets injured he can step in. We don't know how healthy Long will be but if he is not then no worries. The biggest reason though is because this guy can handle big or small DE on the right and will be a HUGE upgrade from Columbo.
Round 3b- Ladarius Green- Great prospect at TE especially for the third round. I know some might like to see him go in the 4th or 5th but I have a little surprise for Reciever. He had some good catches at the Senior Bowl and ran good routes. I can see this guy growing with Clay to be a great pair up.
Round 4- Ryan Broyles SUPRISE!!!- This guys draft stock is very unclear and that's why he has fallen here mostly because of the ACL injury but he had a great season for what he played. Another plus is that he is a punt returner the speed on this kid is great and he could possibly be as good maybe better as Bess. Yes he is short but shortness comes with speed and
Round 5-7 we will get some BPA

Item: Factors Comprising County/Hunicipal Land - Use Controls Addressing Snow Avalanches
Title: Factors Comprising County/Hunicipal Land - Use Controls Addressing Snow Avalanches
Proceedings: 1984 International Snow Science Workshop, Aspen, Colorado, USA
- Kenneth Leon Niemczyk
Date: 1984
Abstract: In the early 1970's, the Institute of Behavioral Science, at the University of Colorado (Boulder), issued a number of reports about natural hazards in the United States. Snow Avalanche Hazard In the United States: A Research Assessment stressed the use of land-us£" management as one way of reducing the risk and stated that a top research priority included an inventory and evaluation of existing land-use regulations addressing the snow avalanche hazard. Beginning in March and extending to June 1981, this author, in order to establish a reference base, inventoried existing legislation addressing snow avalanche. Twenty (20) states, 165 counties, and 14 municipalities were contacted. The evaluation of the legislation revealed 27 factors used by local jurisdictions to control urban development in areas experiencing snow avalanche. A factor is part of an overall statement which expresses a common theme; said statement may be a sentence, a paragraph, or a number of paragraphs, and usually initiates certain activities by the legislature or by the administrators of the legislation. A factor can also be the standards by which projects are judged. Although none of the local jurisdictions used all 27 factors in their legislation, the combined 27 factors may be the foundation of a model ordinance.

Hat tip to Tim Long our Social Media Czar for linking this on the CSR Facebook page. If you have not 'Liked' the CSR FB then you need to get on it!
The Panthers announced a couple things yesterday sure to interest some of you. They notified their PSL owners no increase in ticket prices will occur for the 2012 season:
The Panthers say they have informed permanent seat license (PSL) owners they will not raise season ticket prices for the 2012 season.
There was a spike in interest in Carolina following the arrival of No. 1 overall draft pick Cam Newton, The Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Apparently the Panthers have this hot shot rooke QB that generated a lot more attention to the team in 2011. Maybe you have heard of him? I'm being facetious obviously. So guess how much Panther TV viewership was up last season?
Consequently, television numbers were up in North and South Carolina with the team experiencing a 25 percent increase in viewership. The average weekly telecast was seen by approximately two million people.
The Panthers have sold out 93 consecutive home games and Carolina director of ticketing Phil Youtsey says "that's a tribute to our fans."
25% is a pretty big jump but is still no surprise to me. The kid is just getting started...

PHILADELPHIA — With Tuesday night's 109-101 win over the Sixers making the Celtics 12-4 since Rajon Rondo tore his right ACL, some have said the team is better without him. But the Celtics say his absence created more of a sense of urgency, which has sparked their rise in the Eastern Conference standings.
The Celtics began Tuesday two games from the fourth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and home-court advantage in the first round, which is stunning considering Boston was 20-23 when Rondo went down and was expected to sink in the second half.

10Vince McMahon Gets Rickrolled
Ah, popular culture, how I love thee.
Check out this fabulous moment during a live WWE broadcast where Vince McMahon, WWE chairman, attempts to call a lucky winner to award him $200,000. He gets a reverse ringtone: Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up." And poor old Vince McMahon just can't make sense of what is happening.
Now, I have given a truly unnecessary amount of thought to whether this guy intentionally rickrolled Vince McMahon. Seriously I have just been playing this clip over and over again for like twenty minutes trying to figure it out. I think the answer is yes. They must talk to these people beforehand to let them know to expect a call and to pick up the phone. This guy must have called one of his buddies like "Holy shit, someone from the WWE is supposed to call me tonight. It might even be that live on-air call to tell me I've won all that cash!" and his buddy was like, "Dude. You know what you have to do?" and he was like "What?" and his buddy was like "Rick Astley, dude. Rick. Fucking. Astley."
Right? No one just rickrolls everyone who calls, right?
Rickrolling: as pointless as the WWE, but somehow way, way cooler.

Awesome. XD
So wait.. does that mean the winner gave up $200,000 just to play a joke on live cable tv? Wow..
First ever time commenting – woo! Have been reading the Beet for a couple of years now and thought that i'd only ever attract evil responses as I'm a classic sarcastic Brit – but reading Donkey Punch's comments gave me hope – irony and sarcasm are welcome here!
Anyhoo I didn't even know Rick was famous in the US, is it all just from Rickrolling? I had posters of him all over my bedroom as a kid lol!
Shauna-that's what I was wondering too! I like a good Rickroll & all but to give up the money? Ida know about that!
i'd love to agree with you….but i have 'ringback' tones on my phone and this might be what we're talking about here. when anyone calls my phone M-F, instead of ringing they hear 'straight to video' by mindless self indulgence. call me on he weekend and you'll hear 'working for the weekend' by loverboy :D
….okay i just watched that again and yeah. that wasn't a trick, it was just a guy with an AWESOME ringback tone lol
I know the guy who won, and no, this is his normal ringback tone. McMahon got through to him
Yeah, just a ringback tone!
The guy answers each time… damn technology.
Someone could work out the guy's number from the tones and enjoy the ringback tone endlessly!
I just wanted to take this opportunity to say that I love this & I think it's hilarious.
And also, Frankie sucks for saying that RickRolling isn't funny.
I'm sure Rick Astley is loving all the attention!
