2 weeks 3 days ago | Oregon runs plenty of mid-range and deep passing plays |
If all you watched was the NC game, they happened to be missing probably the fastest WR in college football in Devon Allen, and their Devin Funchess-esque TE Pharaoh Brown, two longer range targets. Just to be clear, I would say they are a rushing spread first, but their offense is a pretty balanced attack. |
2 weeks 4 days ago | Lolwut |
Lolwut. He put up 333 yards passing on 65% completion percentage, at a respectable 9.0 yds/pass with 40 rushing yards against a defense with a lot of NFL-caliber players, and his receivers flat dropped another 50 yards worth of passes, all while their O-line was being collapsed play after play. Mariota is not the reason Oregon lost this game, the fact that their defense couldn't tackle Jones and Elliott is. He may not be a star in the NFL but to say he has little NFL potential based on that game is flawed |

to stretch more than 20 hours a week. It's not illegal to take money in exchange for going to a particular school. It's not illegal to play a sport professionally before going to school. The NCAA has a lot of rules that have nothing to do with the law. Whether or not it's good policy, the rule is the rule, the rule and the consequences are widely known, and the guy made a decision to risk it. |

3 weeks 6 days ago | If true |
This is unfortunate for MICH and unfortunate for this website. To confidently report something like this (not even couched in caveats of "take it with a grain of salt") and be wrong really doesn't look good, especially when this site prides itself on not jumping the gun and wanting to be very certain rather than just take rumors at face value. Whether or not this was an 11th hour change of heart, if it wasn't done, then don't report it and settle for not being one of the first to break the news. And if it was based solely on comments from a 2016 recruit then perhaps there should be more vetting. I'm sure many people come here (at least to the main page) precisely because they have confidence in the accuracy of the information. A certain amount of irony for a website with a recurring segment titled "unverified voracity" as a mocking dig at irresponsible journalism. |
4 weeks 6 days ago | I don't think |
the OP was intending it to be a guess at "this is what the staff will look like." I think it was supposed to be "these are all the options that are being talked about." |
4 weeks 6 days ago | Wait, that's not Dwight?? |
I read it and thought, "I've heard that before...oh yeah, Dwight Schrute." Then I googled it, and see that Harbaugh said that specific quote, with the jackhammer bit. But did he plagiarize Ken Tremendous et al? Dwight in 2007: "I never take vacations, I never get sick. And I don't celebrate any major holidays." Harbaugh, sometime around 2010: "I don't take vacations. I don't get sick. I don't observe major holidays. I'm a jackhammer." |
4 weeks 6 days ago | No, seriously |
As i posted in another thread: after looking it up, because I assumed it was a Dwight quote when i first saw it, not having heard Harbaugh ever say that: Dwight in 2007: "I never take vacations, I never get sick. And I don't celebrate any major holidays." Harbaugh, sometime around 2010: "I don't take vacations. I don't get sick. I don't observe major holidays. I'm a jackhammer." It's kind of funny that he ripped off a line from a guy who is a caricature of an overly-devoted non-self-aware employee |

this isn't an isolated incident, or the first time. It's already happened like 3 or 4 times that he's posted something stupid/plagiarized/fabricated purely to self promote. And every time half the posts are "give him a break, he's a kid learning how things work" It's not about lambasting a kid, but at this point, he knows what he's doing, he's self aware, and he is INTENTIONALLY doing things like this to try to get ahead. He hasn't learned about responsible journalism from the last several incidents, he's no longer a kid "just figuring things out." |

7 weeks 3 days ago | Oregon State is a terrible school |
Oregon State is one of the worst academic schools in the Pac 12. Wisconsin is one of the top 10 public schools in the country. While that's not conclusive, it's very believable, perhaps likely, that the academic standards are different. |

8 weeks 2 days ago | Brandon and likelihood of getting Harbaugh |
Whether JH was more or less likely to take the job if DB was the Athletic Director is pure speculation and hypothetical. No one has been proven wrong on that one way or the other. It seems unlikely DB's presence would help, but we're all just making educated guesses. So I don't think you can point to that and say "Look, the supposed insider was WRONG!!" |
8 weeks 6 days ago | Actually think Miles would be successful |
The stuff about Brian's stance is funny, because this coming week I guarantee we face a front page post, whether in a mail bag or UV or whatever, that reiterates all his hatreds for Miles. And I bet the tune of the board changes a bit. I actually don't agree that Miles would be a bad hire in terms of on field success, getting the program turned in the right direction over the next 5 years has a ton of value for the subsequent hire, BUT I wouldn't want to hire Les anyway based simply on the fact he's a giant dickbag. There are probably literally 20 people in HC or coordinator positions who could take MICH's talent and turn it in to a 9-win team next year. No idea if we'll actually hire one of them and obviously identifying those individuals is the real key, but things aren't as dire as "If not Harbaugh, then Miles, then nothing." |
8 weeks 6 days ago | So |
So if I'm reading correctly, if we miss on Miles, then we should hire Mack Brown. |

You want the point where we lost the game (or lost the chance to the definitely win the game), it's right here. Up 1, yes there are three guys around him but Spike is right next to him, you at least try to make that pass, and in all likelihood it's either a completed pass and Spike is going to the line, or it's deflected out of bounds. I assume Donnal just sort of froze in the moment, saying to himself "Just don't turn it over, just don't turn it over..." Which of course is right, but the next evolution as a successful college basketball player is "don't turn it over and get it to a good FT shooter, don't turn it over and get it to a good FT shooter..." |

10 weeks 2 days ago | I'm confused |
Why would you feel much better about the next games if we're playing teams that are no longer ranked and the games become must win? SMU and Syracuse are however good they are, the ranking has no impact on the actual team you play on the floor so the game is no easier or harder now that they've lost. So wouldn't we all want them to win as many games as possible other than the game against us? |
10 weeks 2 days ago | Only one other player is in the 40/20 club |

10 weeks 3 days ago | Odds don't necessarily equate to likelihood |
These odds don't necessarily mean that these are the most likely things to happen. Stoops and Gundy are the equivalent of a "public" team. People who don't know shit about the specifics of the coaching search will put money on those guys because they know the name, and the more money on them, the lower the odds from the casino so the casino doesn't take a bath if it does hit. Point being, just because Stoops has the lowest odds, doesn't mean anyone anywhere actually thinks that's the most likely thing to happen. |
10 weeks 4 days ago | He |
He worked a very long time for ESPN which is where he "made" his name, and probably only moved within the last couple years. Not saying someone should be disliked because they work for ESPN, but it's also the launching point for the shouting-contrarian-views-as-loud-as-possible "journalism" so the stigma isn't undeserved |

Nobody would suggest that Sega's Condemned 2 was one of the highest quality games they've ever played - but by crikey, it's weird. One level, for example, is set in an abandoned doll factory. But for our money, the Magic Theatre level is even creepier. For a start, it kicks off with you confronting your own, shadowy alcohol-demon. Then all sorts of dark vaudeville-inspired weirdness kicks in, forcing you to defeat bosses with the sort of stage contraptions beloved by magicians and judicious lobbing of Molotov cocktails.
The Meat Circus
It may not have sold that well, but Tim Schafer's Psychonauts retains a status among discerning gamers that is nothing short of legendary. On the face of it a cute action-adventure effort involving fat kids, bunnies and the like, it is in reality a dark, psychological mind-f***. And nowhere more so than in the Meat Circus. Which does exactly what it says on the tin - it's a circus, and it's made of meat. Vegetarians, look away now. As well as contending with various boss-battles with the Butcher, it was fearsomely hard, testing your platforming skills to their very limits (and beyond). Exactly the sort of thing that gives kids lifelong phobias.
Seeking the Portal cake
All the way through Portal, GLaDOS has promised to reward you with a cake. Of course, at first, you have no reason to doubt her sincerity. But as you progress through the game, it becomes steadily apparent that she is, frankly, a few bars short of a pop-up toaster. And then, as the climax arrives, the extent of her insanity finally becomes starkly obvious. And finally, when the promised cake does materialise, it really doesn't provide any consolation whatsoever. Portal-geeks have generated a whole cake-baking sub-culture and Portal cake recipes (the one in the game delights in being inedible due to its ingredients) abound on the Web these days.
Stalking Gary Coleman
Yes, that Gary Coleman, the late, diminutive actor from Diff'rent Strokes. Not the first person you'd expect to see in a game, but then the game in which he featured wasn't exactly run-of-the-mill. It was none other than the infamous Postal 2 - nowhere near as shoddy as its gratuitously violent and unforgivably amateurish predecessor, but rather crap and attention-seeking all the same. At one point in the game, you had to go to the mall to get Gary to sign an autograph, before you could get on with more mindless killing. Which was weird, but also pretty amusing.
Tea with the Mad Hatter
Our favourite mind-bending scene in Batman: Arkham City saw Batman and Alice In Wonderland collide, with added hallucinogenics. Batman thinks he's injecting himself with a cure for the Joker's virus, but wakes up strapped to a chair in the Mad Hatter's lair, surrounded by deranged weirdoes wearing rabbit masks. Severe trippiness ensues (the Mad Hatter has, naturally, injected Batman with mind-altering substances). But Batman's sheer force of will prevails, and once he has flattened the Hatter's titfer, reality slowly, mercifully returns.

Gwinnett Daily Post
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke seemed to be channeling Chicken Little when he warned congressional Republicans that any delay in raising the debt ceiling beyond the current $14.3 trillion cap could have ''catastrophic'' consequences.
Continuing America's borrowing and spending addiction will have even greater catastrophic consequences, but people in government don't think this way. For them, all government spending is good spending and any attempt to begin the arduous process of restoring fiscal responsibility is viewed by those with vested interests as greedy, selfish and unsympathetic toward the needs of others. Perhaps advocates of unlimited spending might tell us how much is enough if they can't live on $14.3 trillion? If Congress doesn't start the process of cutting spending now when the polls favor Republican economic policies, when will it? Rarely has "If not us, who? If not now, when?'' had greater resonance. The Wall Street Journal reports, ''Governors around the U.S. are proposing to balance their states' budgets with a long list of cuts and almost no new taxes, reflecting a goal by politicians from both parties to erase deficits chiefly by shrinking government.'' So, if states can do it, why can't the federal government? Congressional Democrats, for whom a much smaller debt was a big deal when Republican presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush were in the White House, seem unconcerned about debt now that a Democrat is president. Some Democrats, hoping to make Republicans blink, are making noises about another possible government shutdown. Republicans should keep their eyes wide open. On the same day Bernanke made his ''catastrophic'' comment, House Republicans unveiled their plan to cut $32 billion out of the budget for the remainder of this fiscal year. That's short of the $100 billion in cuts promised by Speaker John Boehner before the November election. The Republican Study Committee, a conservative bloc of House members, wants to hold Boehner to his original promise. Republicans should argue that raising the debt ceiling would pay for the continued implementation of Obamacare, which the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows 55 percent of likely voters want repealed. Public opinion and a dubious legal future offer an opportunity for such a strategy. The Study Committee estimates a savings of $2.5 trillion over 10 years if all of its recommendations are implemented. Rich Galen, former press secretary for Dan Quayle and former executive director of GOPAC, ''a national organization dedicated exclusively to electing Republicans to state and local offices'' lists on his blog, Mullings (www.mullings.com), some of the committee's recommendations and adds a few of his own, including a 15 percent reduction in the number of civilian federal employees, ''accomplished by attrition rather than outright firings.'' Galen proposes, ''Only one new employee could be hired for every two who left until the reduction number was met.'' (This should apply to all branches of government.) Cuts in programs are also warranted, including ''cutting out the Hope VI Program, charged with proposing a National Action Plan to eradicate severely distressed public housing, which ''will save $250 million per year.'' Anyone notice such a plan, or the relief of ''stress'' on public housing? Amtrak costs $1.565 billion per year in federal subsidies. Couldn't private enterprise do better? Galen thinks congressional travel should be cut. Each member, he says, ought to get six trips home per year at public expense. ''More than that, they have to use campaign funds.'' The Republican Study Committee estimates cutting other federal travel would save $7.5 billion. Ethanol cuts aren't in the GOP plan, but they should be. So should responsible cuts in defense spending. Entire cabinet agencies, like Housing and Urban Development, Education and Energy, should be eliminated and any essential work folded into other government agencies. That isn't likely to happen in the short term, but if Republicans stick with the principles that got them elected and demonstrate their plan works, the public might go along with cutting major expenditures, including modernizing and reforming Social Security and Medicare. There may well be a "catastrophe," as Bernanke predicts, but it is more likely to occur if we don't reduce our spending than if we raise the debt ceiling and keep on spending with borrowed money.

Back in 2007, I purchased a few sets of these wonderful glasses from the Source Perrier company (Desiree Bubble Tumblers). We've been using them as our everyday glass, and I love them still. They have bubbles etched onto the sides: (This is sitting on top of another glass). I'd like very much to add a few additional sets (due to the occasional breakage). When I googled them, the only reference I found was Replacements. (They have none in stock but I've signed up anyway in case they get any in the future). If you can suggest a source, I'd be grateful! While searching today, I came across this fun glass. Any ideas where I could find this one? Thanks!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have not seen those exact ones, but I did see some of the same shape but in colors at Home Goods recently. |
Home Goods came to my mind also. Unfortunately, you have to catch them when they have them and no way to check availability or get them shipped from out of your area. I seem to have a knack for finding the last 4, 6 or 8 of a certain glass and not being able to find more. Six is minimal for us, and 8 is better, but 12 would have been better for the set I have now. So I have 2 different glasses. |

Annac54, thank you for the Home Goods suggestion. lascatx - I know exactly what you mean! Oh why don't they keep making the same glass.... Have you looked at Replacements for either of your sets? You might find one or both :) carolmka - Thanks, I did try, but couldn't find the same one. Onedogedie - Thank you so much!! I have signed up to be alerted when they get back in stock. I too was inspired by the cucumber recipe (I'll track down and post next, from the Perrier website). I'd like to have some non-alcoholic fun drinks in my repertoire. Hi cal_quail - I like those! I'm still hoping for just one set. I need to bite the bullet and actually contact (gasp) the company from whom I bought them in the first place!! Perrier Cucumber Drink Recipe follows (linked with pictures, too). I didn't quite understand the reference to gelatin, would that be the knox gelatin I haven't used in years? For this, a straw, a knife, a little imagination and lots of Perrier bubbles are enough to create a flavour-enhancing technique, with the addition of a few ingredients for an overall balance of flavour. Preparation Step 1: Run a test tube along the centre of the cucumber and push through the whole length to remove seeds. Discard the center which can be used to make other cocktails.

OB2B, The Source Perrier catalog business was sold off in 2009, but the guy who bought it was their landlord or something. You might try getting in touch with them (now called The Source Collection) and see if they can at least tell you who the maker was. Unfortunately, with fashion goods, they do often do one run, or one year, and move on, and because of the current inventory taxes, remainders get dumped at outlets. If you knew the maker, however, you could find out if they're still being made. It's possible that they're still selling them as reorders, and they can point you to a store that has them. |

Why Microsoft Won't Have Blu-ray on the Xbox
Okay Funny Guy (395 comments)
You are comparing apples to oranges. The windows OS is designed to allow third-party applications to run on it for a nominal additional cost (price of a dev kit) to the third party developer. The Xbox is not. Please, examine Microsoft's license terms carefully before you blindly assume the xbox is open.
More specifically, Why let consumers pay for their media once with a blue-ray player when Microsoft and the media distribution cartel can (and will) earn far more money passing it through the xbox?

text: 5 Best of 2012Posted: 21/09/2012Superb album by an amazing band. Rival Sons are on the verge of tearing the musicindustry up with their 70s based, bluesy driven rock 'n roll power. Their previous albums (Before the Fire, Pressure and Time) are both topclass albums, winking to heroes as Led Zeppelin,... But on the new album, Jays vocals are even more amazing, such a broad voicerange, incredible!It's their most experimental album so far, but easily amongst the best in their category.Kicking the album off with the incredibly Keep On Swinging, the touching ballad Jordan in the middle, and the grotesque guitarplaying in Manifest Destiny pt 1 more at the end, this album has it all. A musthave for every musiclover.

Just wanted to post that "A Haunting Presence" is now available at AmazonMP3 as well. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search- alias3Ddigital-music&field-keywords=transcend+with+time
Hey everyone, now to the great news. I recently submitted my music to Music for Film & Television and thankfully they enjoyed my work that now Transcend with Time has been added to their roster of musicians. That is such an honor for me. It's always been a dream of mine to one day hear my stuff in some movie or TV Show, hopefully, in the near future, that can happen. Fingers crossed. BTW, here's the link: http://www.musicforfilmandtelevision.com/transcend-with-time-new-age-ambient-music-for-film-and-television-licensing/ On to the other news, WOW, I can't believe it's already been 5 months since "A Haunting Presence" was released. I've always had the notion that I don't like to just sit around, and plus "the inspiration" has hit me, so work on the next TwT album has begun. One song is already completed & it turned great. As for the direction, album title, etc. The direction is Melodic, Atmospheric & Progressive. Album title, still nothing. Well, I'll keep posting as things keep rolling.
Honest review. This review can be found at www.rambles.net The only thing that really pissed me off was how the reviewer attacked the song "In Loving Memory." That song was written on behalf of my grandmother's passing, so I felt very insulted. I know that a reviewer's job is to critique, but to bash a very personal song for me like that, I believe that was just wrong. I already emailed him back and let him know my displeasure. Sorry guys & gals, but it really hit a nerve. Enjoy. Transcend with Time is the one-man creation of Mark Mendieta from Brownsville, Texas. This project started in 2006, and A Haunting Presence is the fourth CD released under this band name. Mark describes the music of Transcend with Time as "Progressive New Age/Ambient." In the promotional material, he states, "This disc is about life's journey encountering negative emotions." The title track uses stringed instruments to set the mood. The piano plays in the background and is mostly very repetitive with its simple series of notes. There is a short part where the piece almost turns into what sounds like the introduction for a World War II military scene. While not the longest track on the CD, this one clocks in at more than seven minutes. I feel it could have been cut down a little bit due to the fact that in the last couple of minutes, the tune slows down to a crawl and basically becomes noise. There is one track on this CD I truly cannot stand. To begin with, when you are listening to what you think is an instrumental CD, the last thing you want to hear is somebody singing. Unless the voice is used as another instrument, turning your focus to the lyrics disrupts the mood. Guest vocalist Brandon Strader sings on "In Loving Memory." The song moves along at a snail's pace that is only exacerbated by the fact that it is just under 11 minutes long. During that time, Brandon often strains his warbling vocals, which fall flat on many occasions. I find this almost like listening to karaoke, sometimes painful, sometimes not overly bad. Either way, I just want to leave the room. To Brandon's credit, I bet there are songs where his voice would make a pleasant match. This, however, is not one of those songs. Fortunately, the worst track is followed by one of the better tracks on the CD, "When the Evening Bleeds." As with many of the other selections, this piece could be on a soundtrack. I like the repetitive guitar, which helps keep the beat. I actually think of an amusement park fun house around the midpoint, a little over two minutes in. I never get a sense of evening, so I'm not sure where the title ties in to it. As a general rule, A Haunting Presence is not a bad transcendental CD. I have a few misgivings on a couple of tracks that other listeners might overlook. There was only one track I truly disliked. Fortunately, it isn't that difficult to hit the forward button. Otherwise, this CD makes a good background CD when you don't want the music to take your entire focus. For the most part, it sets the mood of tranquility quite simply.
I got confirmation that 3 tracks off "A Haunting Presence" are now on Astreaux World's playlist. Pretty awesome. Well, if you all get a chance, go to www.astreauxworld.com or http://www.live365.com/stations/astreaux to listen.
Hey everyone, just got confirmation from Stefan (Syndae) that "A Haunting Presence" will be featured tonight on his Episode 69 going online tonight at 12am CET. I'd really appreciate your support & check it out. Here's the link: http://www.syndae.de/ & click play on the podcast to play. Thank you Stefan for the opportunity.
Great news. AHP made the Top 10 of 2009 in www.newagemusic.nu That's just awesome. It's a shame that these accomplishments can't help in me with my sales. I just don't get the music biz. Oh well. Enjoy 8. Transcend with Time – A Haunting Presence. Everyone always says that they are looking for something new, something different and exciting. Well, new age music fans – we urge you to check out the album A Haunting Presence by Transcend with Time/Mark Mendieta. This album truly is different and exciting in a whole new way; A Haunting Presence has the atmosphere of progressive rock and the sound of new age. Mark Mendieta takes everything that is great about new age and adds, what he calls, "a twist of Dark Progressive". It creates a totally different atmosphere, unlike anything else you are likely to find in this part of the forest. TwT is not easy listening, and that is also the case with the new release. But if you give is some time, you will for sure be amazed of the richness in sound. The album is available at CDBaby, iTunes, Melodic Revolution Records & Mindawn
Hey everyone, just wanted to post that I just found out that "A Haunting Presence" is already on iTunes. Here's the link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/transcend-with-time/id345683594 This is such awesome news. Well, I hope people enjoy my brand of New Age Music.
I just got confirmation that the title track off "A Haunting Presence" is being aired on Articmist.org Here's the link: http://articmist.podomatic.com/ or http://articmist.podomatic.com/player/web/2009-12-26T06_14_27-08_00 (this link takes you directly to the player). Enjoy.

When the Bryson City and Sylva ABC boards hammered out a profit-sharing agreement for liquor orders from Harrah's Casino, there was widespread speculation the new revenue source would bring in big money.
But the reality, so far, has been different.
"It's not doing anywhere near what people thought it was going to do," said Bryson City ABC store manager David Maynard.
The Bryson City store does the ordering and records the revenue on its books, then passes along a share of profits to the Sylva ABC board since the Cherokee reservation lies in both Swain and Jackson.
Harrah's Cherokee opened its first full service bar in May, placing a start-up order with the ABC store that bumped its monthly sales numbers up 50 percent from the year before.
But since then, mixed beverages sales to the casino have averaged between $6,000 and $8,000 per week.
"That sounds like a lot of money, but the state takes a good chunk of it. We thought it was going to be a whole lot more money as far as sales. I think everybody did," said Maynard.
With the state, the Sylva ABC board, and the tribe all involved in the formula of alcohol sales to the casino, sales don't exactly turn directly into profit.
"It has help us make an increase from last year as far as sales, but it hasn't helped out the profits yet," Maynard said.
By the numbers
A spike in the volume of liquor passing through the Bryson City ABC store is a direct reflection on the bottles of booze headed for Harrah's Casino since alcohol was legalized there.

Borderlands and Aliens: Colonial Marines developer Gearbox Software has emerged from the final THQ IP auction as the highest bidder for the Homeworld franchise.
It confirmed the news in a statement released today. "Gearbox Software has prevailed as the highest bidder in the acquisition of the Homeworld franchise from THQ," it said. "Brian Martel, Gearbox Software's Chief Creative Officer, has great love and respect for Relic's brilliant, fun and innovative game and personally spearheaded the acquisition."
Specifics on the bid went undisclosed, and finalisation of the deal awaits court approval next month. But Gearbox already has plans for the series.
"Brian intends as first priority to direct Gearbox's interest to preserve and assemble the purest form of the original acclaimed and beloved games, Homeworld and Homeworld 2, with the intent of making them accessible on today's leading digital platforms," said the developer.
"Please visit the Gearbox Software Forums to share with us and Brian what you think should be done with Homeworld moving forward. And, please try to get our attention if you have capability and interest to join the effort in developing or enabling Homeworld's future."
The last of defunct publisher THQ's remaining game properties were auctioned off last week, with bids expected to bring in $6 million to $7 million.

Pakistanis fighting the Taliban press for military backup
Villagers in northwestern Dir have 250 militants under siege, but say they need help from security forces to prevail. The military has a poor record of aiding these volunteer militias.
Islamabad and Peshawar, Pakistan
When villagers rose up against the Taliban in Dir district a month and a half ago, headlines cheered evidence of Pakistanis resisting militancy. But now, tribal elders say they are growing impatient that security forces haven't come to help, even as fresh waves of Taliban threaten to overwhelm their volunteer force.
Some 2,000 villagers in the northwestern district have kept 250 to 300 Taliban fighters under siege, but have failed to overrun the Taliban's defensive position. Over the past four days, Taliban reinforcements have been arriving from Swat and Kohistan, swelling militant ranks to 500, according to one village elder.
The volunteer militia, called a lashkar, initially felt confident enough to refuse help from the Pakistani Army. But lashkar leaders now say they are in dire need of manpower, arms, and ammunition.
"Now it is getting difficult, and we are threatened, because their number is increasing with each passing day," says Baboo Rahman, an elder with the Dir lashkar. "The lashkar people are also now fed up with continuous fighting, and we request the government should hit [the Taliban] from the air."
Waiting for military backup
For years, Pakistan has turned to lashkars as a means of tackling militants without launching destructive and sometimes unpopular military operations. But the government has a poor record of backing up these volunteers when, more often than not, they are outgunned or targeted for assassination.

Colorado Protected the Wrong Trout for Years: Can We Save the Greenback Cutthroat Now?
These are the tools you'll need to extract sperm from some of the rarest trout in the world: a towel, a small glass dish like those used on cooking shows to hold chopped ingredients, gloves, fish tranquilizers and your thumb.Courtesy of Doug Krieger An estimated 500 to 700 greenback cutthroat trout live in Bear Creek.
On a recent day, no fewer than ten biologists, staff members and volunteers wearing waterproof waders and various shades of park-ranger khaki gather at the Leadville National Fish Hatchery to do just that. The inside of the historic building is chilly and loud due to the constant rush of water cascading into the open-top fish troughs.
See also: How Colorado Became Ground Zero in America's Energy Wars
Workers use a net to transfer the fish to a bin filled with water and sedative. Swimming soon gives way to floating, and one by one they scoop the sleeping trout out of the bin and pat them down with a purple bath towel. Once an individual fish is sufficiently dried (water will activate the sperm, and active sperm can only live for twenty to thirty seconds), it's handed to a biologist tasked with cradling the fish's body in one hand and using the thumb of the other hand to stroke its underbelly in a downward motion, almost as if he were trying to squeeze the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. If the biologist is lucky, a few drops of milky-white "milt" will dribble out of the trout, drip down its back fin and make a small puddle in the glass bowl.
The trout that the biologists are working with are the offspring of fish from Bear Creek just outside of Colorado Springs. The creek is home to the state's last known population of greenback cutthroat trout, which Colorado designated as the state fish in 1994.
At least it's the last known population as far as scientists can tell.
From the time the greenbacks were included on the first-ever Endangered Species Act list in 1973, state and federal biologists have worked diligently to preserve and propagate them. It's not that the greenbacks are more precious than any other cutthroat subspecies; it's that we came so close to losing them, explains Kevin Rogers, an aquatic-research scientist with Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
"It's more of a legacy thing," he adds. "This is part of our evolutionary history in the state.... I'd like to continue to fish for these things that belonged here."
Doug Krieger, a senior aquatic biologist with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, agrees. "In some ways, they're the canary in the coal mine," he says of endangered and threatened species like the greenbacks. "If you protect them, you've protected the environment."
But in 2007, a University of Colorado study cast doubt on whether the greenbacks they were saving were actually greenbacks at all. A follow-up study published in 2012 confirmed their worst fears: The fish they'd spent so much time on was actually a different subspecies of cutthroat trout. In other words, they'd been saving the wrong fish.
What's more, researchers concluded that the right fish live only in a narrow, four-mile stretch of shallow Bear Creek, and counts showed that there were only about 700 of them left. The discovery was a blow to the biologists who had spent their careers believing they were bringing a native species back from the brink of extinction.
But those who continue the quest to save this small, spotted trout with the brilliant red-orange streaks hope that their latest efforts will finally put the drama to rest. Since 2008, biologists have been raising greenbacks in hatcheries with the goal of increasing their ranks. They started with just 65 fish from Bear Creek, and thanks to the hard work of many talented thumbs, the population has grown to approximately 3,800 greenbacks living in captivity.
However, many of the hatchery fish suffer from deformities not seen in the wild: having only one eye, for instance, or two chins. The defects are thought to be the result of more than a century of inbreeding among the last surviving population. In Bear Creek, deformed fish often die. But in the hatcheries, where the fish are more pampered, they can live to adulthood.
Later this summer, biologists plan to release a thousand hatchery-raised greenbacks into Zimmerman Lake, about an hour and a half west of Fort Collins. The hope is that the fittest among them will survive and spawn a new generation.
"We hope we have the right answer now, but there's still a tiny part of me that's skeptical," Krieger says of the current recovery efforts. "I don't want to be so arrogant as to consider that we have the absolute final answer."

Quality whitefish is easy to recognize. Fresh whitefish never smells fishy; it smells fresh like the ocean. The eyes should appear bright and clear, almost alive. The gills should be reddish, and the skin moist and with tightly adhering, shiny scales. Fresh whitefish flesh will give slightly when you press it with a finger, then spring back into shape. When choosing whitefish steaks or fillets, whether they're fresh or previously frozen, look for moist, translucent (never dried out) flesh.
Lake whitefish are caught commercially in the Great Lakes and Canada, and their high quality roe is sold under the name "golden whitefish caviar." Cisco (also called chub, lake herring, and tullibee) are a smaller, bonier fish, often sold smoked.

Porreco College invites neighbors to information session on April 24
04/17/2014Millcreek Township neighbors of Porreco College and others in the community who want to learn more about plans for the college are invited to an information session there on Thursday, April 24, at 7 p.m.
Officials of the new college will be on hand to answer questions and speak about plans for more fully utilizing the campus' tremendous potential while retaining the property's beauty and open spaces.
Porreco College is located at 2951 W. 38th St., Erie. The information session, which is open to all, will be held on the upper level of the main barn.
In March, Edinboro University announced the creation of the Porreco College as The Community's College. Filling a major void in educational opportunities in the Erie region, the college makes workforce-ready degree and certificate programs available at community college prices beginning in Fall 2014.
The cost of full-time attendance for Erie County students enrolled in an associate degree or certificate program is just $2,341 per semester. The low cost is made possible by a $3,000 per year scholarship called the Porreco Promise.
Programs being offered at Porreco College this fall will prepare students in two years or less for in-demand careers in business, social work, customer service management, advanced manufacturing and other fields.
Additional programs, as well as laboratories and other facilities needed to provide instruction to an expanding student body, are being planned. All additions to the campus will be created within the footprint of existing buildings, and the rural character of the former estate and working farm will be preserved.
Plans also call for the creation of a walking trail, the removal of fences around the property that impede access by neighbors and the possible creation of community garden plots.
More information about Porreco College is available at http://porreco.edinboro.edu or by calling the college at 836-1955.

Contrary to popular belief, your bank account does not need to hurt during your battle against acne. Most people understand that acne takes on different types according to cause and severity. This factor would then be the basis as to what acne treatment to use. Extensive research has been done by many skin care companies to further address different types of acne on different types of skin.
Acne treatments are normally grouped into 3 kinds: topical, oral meds (birth control pill, oral antibiotics) and dermatological clinical treatments. For those that experience occasional breakouts, topical acne products together with a few minor changes in your lifestyle could actually give you the results you wanted.
And again, you don't have to spend a lot. There are many trusted brands in the market who sells effective and cheap acne products. All you need to do is make sure the brand is trusted and the ingredients that combat acne are present. Do a little research. Always remember to not only compare prices but most importantly, also the active ingredients present in the product. What you should be looking for are benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid often in combination with sulfur, also alpha hydroxy acids.
It might be true that you might need to try a number of products with different active ingredients to know which one works for you. It doesn't mean that if a certain product is cheap it is also ineffective. You should be nothing but patient with the products you use. Start with acne products at lower strengths and gradually increase the strength until your skin can adjust. Benzoyl peroxide would be a safe active ingredient you could actually try out. If you're unsure of what acne product to buy, cheap acne products containing benzoyl peroxide is effective and would almost be tolerated by most people. Over the counter products would normally come in 2.5 and 5.0 concentrations which is very safe for everyone. In some cases one could be required to apply higher concentrations but that would already be upon the request of a skin expert. One more trick when you're in the hunt for the acne treatment that's best for you is to try using two products with different active ingredients in different times of the day. For example, to avoid skin irritation, you could use one product in the morning and the other one at night.
Treating acne might not be as hard as you might think. It's fairly easy. Wash your face with mild soap first then apply the acne product to the affected area just enough to cover it then moisturize your skin with a non comedogenic moisturizer. Always remember too to not squeeze your pimples and make sure that your hands, hair and phone don't touch your face to be safe against acne causing bacteria. Do that and you're safe.

Our editor recently chased winter and one of the world's best skiers 14 hours south of the equator to La Parva, Chile. Five days skiing off-piste with big-mountain sage Ingrid Backstrom is awfully enlightening. Here's what she learned. (Click here to read her Day 1 dispatch)
If you're a parent who's counting down the days 'til your kid can ski, you might feel some pressure. Of course you want their first days on snow to be awesome. But should you teach them, or send them to ski school?
13) For lessons, arrive early, preferably the day prior to get rentals if needed, to get tickets in hand and hopefully avoid lines during peak season. It is great to let your children—especially if they are very young (3-6 years)—know where they are going and what will take place throughout the day, to reassure them. — Mary Flinn Ware, Park City Mountain Resort, Utah

Delta Enters Into, Withdraws From KB Home Pilot Program
September 1, 2007
On Aug. 1, Delta Faucet Co. sent a letter to distributors and other members of the industry announcing that it planned to conduct a pilot program with the Inland Valley division of KB Home in Southern California in which it would move its product lines through the Penske Logistics warehouse. According to Delta, KB had entered into an agreement with Penske to warehouse and supply many of the finished products that KB specifies and had requested that Delta supply its faucets through the Penske warehouse.
The pilot program was scheduled to begin in September. In mid-August, Delta confirmed that a decision was made to withdraw from the pilot program.
"Since making the announcement, we have spoken with and received feedback from our valued trade channel partners from across the country, including distributors and plumbing contractors," said Jon Dartt, vice president of sales at Delta Faucet. "After considering this feedback and talking with KB Home, Delta Faucet Co. has decided to withdraw from the pilot."

US men freed after 30 years in jail
Comment on this storyWashington -
Two mentally impaired half-brothers were freed on Tuesday after serving three decades in a United States prison for the rape and murder of a child that they did not commit.
A judge in Robeson County said that Henry Lee McCollum, 50, North Carolina state's longest-serving death-row inmate, and Leon Brown, 46, were innocent of the 1983 rape and killing of 11-year-old Sabrina Buie after new DNA evidence came to light.
Both are severely intellectually disabled and were teenagers at the time of their arrests in 1983.
Following false confessions, McCollum was given a death sentence and Brown was serving life for the rape.
"This case highlights in a most dramatic manner the importance of finding the truth," said Ann Kirby, attorney for Brown.
"Today, truth has prevailed, but it comes 30 years too late for Sabrina Buie and her family, and for Leon, Henry, and their families.
"Their sadness, grief, and loss will remain with them forever."
North Carolina state law now requires homicide interrogations to be recorded or videotaped, but at the time the brothers were convicted such laws were not in effect.
There were no recordings of the confessions, which contained details that authorities now acknowledge were factually impossible. - Sapa-AFP

My DM gave me a plant last year that she had recieved from her neighbor. The neighbor lady called it a perennial morning glory. It grew quite fast and the leaves and flowers looked very similar to the annual morning glory. The flowers are white with a soft pink edge and last a day just like the annual. Does anyone else have such a plant? |

Run, run!! Evacuate! Prepare to sell your house!! No, really, if it's either of a couple of possibilities that I'm familiar with... I'd go out and buy a BIG supply of Roundup right now, LOL! This subject comes up occasionally, and I've related this story before but anyway... According to my weed book, the more familiar perennial morning glory (also an introduced weed), field bindweed, Convolvulus arvensis has deep, cord-like rhizomatous roots "that have been reported to grow up to 30m in length and 9m deep". Impressive, no? Also, it "may flower within 6 weeks of germination" and "a severe infestation is capable of producing over 800 kg of seed per acre", and it "has been known to reduce crop yields by 50%". I sure wouldn't knowingly allow either of these to get a foothold in my garden. So, anyway, that's my experience with perennial morning glory. |

Convolvulus sepium is actually on British Columbias' list of noxious weeds that they want you to get rid of. Since they have it classed with Cystisus scoparius (Scotch Broom) personally I wouldn't plant it. Here is the link the website. Syreeta |

And Convolvulus arvensis is on Saskatchewan's list of noxious weeds, while in Alberta, C. arvensis is "noxious", while C. sepium is a "nuisance" (no less undesirable but harder to get rid of; see below).

So what did your DM do to her neighbor to P**S her off? That plant needs more than Roundup, it needs an exorcism! It's like giving someone a gift of a Ford Pinto or an AMC Gremlin. |
ROTFLMAO!! Hehe!! You guys are so good with your expressions! I love it! (Mind you, I'm also putting perenial MGs on my list of plants NOT to get...so far a very short list.) That reminds me of the (un)friendship muffins my mom got from our neighbor when I was a kid...she didn't want to be rude, so she accepted the ice-cream pail full of the 'base'...didn't want to bother anyone else with it by 'sharing' it with them...and her concience worked to good to just make what she wanted and toss the rest (there are starving kids in Africa, don't you know)...we ate 'friendship' muffins for the rest of my childhood...LOL...hehehe... Verena |
Thanks for the info. Looks like I will be getting rid of this plant. Too bad, because I did like it. |

Yes, they are very pretty.... but insidious... |
After reading on the invasive plant post, I think that I'm going to keep this perennial morning glory and grow it in a pot instead and then sink the pot into the garden in the fall. I still don't see any signs of life, so maybe it didn't make the winter. I do this with my golden hops vine and it always makes it through. |
OMG...you guys are life savers!!! I was going through my seed packets that I started and noticed one of the things I started indoors is perennial morning glory...Convolvulus cantabrica....thank god I have been reading this thread and as soon as I saw the packet I recognized it. I guess I never really connected the fact that this was a perennial...I just thought it would be the same as all other morning glories... Good thing...I was going to plant it along the back corner to cover my newly built composter and the ugly fence! Disaster averted! |
- Posted by abgardeneer Z3, Calgary (My Page) on Mon, May 1, 06 at 14:14
hunnerbun, the species we were discussing are the commmon perennial morning glory species that make the noxious weed list for various provinces, and that are occasionally planted in yards (because they are, nonetheless, very attractive). (Unless you're pulling my leg...) I didn't mean to imply that every perennial convolvulus was necessarily a noxious, invasive weed... maybe they are, I don't know, but I wouldn't assume it without a lot more information. I don't have any familiarity at all with C. cantabrica, but after a quick search, it appears to be a Mediterranean species, possibly extremely tender. Why don't you do some research on it, as to hardiness and possible invasiveness, given that it is a different species from a different geographic background as compared to the ones that are known to be noxious weeds? It will be interesting to hear what you find out, and should you decide to grow it (which I would), how it does for you. |
Well after my panicked posting earlier, I did google it, but couldn't find much information at all. Most of the pages were in other languages and even with the translations they were hard to decipher. I think I need a search lesson...I must be doing something wrong. |
Hunner - when you search for something like that and are getting a lot of sites coming up in other languages, try putting in what you are searching for and then add an English word related to your search. I use GOOGLE for all my searches and when I looked up 'Convolvulus cantabrica' I also got a lot of stuff in other languages. I redid the search with 'Convolvulus cantabrica' and added 'perenial' that way it took out all the pages I couldn't understand. I found a few places that said it is hardy to zone 7-8, from southern Europe, a smaller plant 6-16" with "dainty" 1/2 - 1" blossoms, and "very nice in a rock garden". From the looks of it, you shouldn't have a problem with it taking over your yard/neighborhood/town...it doesn't look like this variety is on a quest to for global domination...at least not yet. ;-) Verena |
I get it now.... Round-up it is. I'm sure it is C. sepium after doing the google. Vigorous little sucker. Shelley |

TORONTO-Expenses regarding the company's pending acquisition of Saks put Hudson's Bay's bottom line in the red in its fiscal second quarter, to the tune of C$82.3 million (U.S.$79.6 million on the current exchange rate).
Net sales totaled C$947.7 million (U.S.$916.3 million), an increase of 3.9 percent, in the quarter which ended on Aug. 3. The sales gain included a rise of 6.2 percent at Hudson's Bay stores, offset by a decrease of 1.2 percent at the company's Lord & Taylor stores. E-commerce sales jumped 56.1 percent.
Richard Baker, Hudson's Bay's governor and CEO, said the company's top line is benefiting from "a continued focus on our stated strategic initiatives." These include capital investments in certain stores and departments, plus the relaunch during the quarter of the company's banner websites, thebay.com and lordandtaylor.com. "Our online business was a key factor in our results, and reflects our increased investment in this component of our business," Baker said.
However, the net loss reflected acquisition-related costs of C$59.9 million (U.S.$57.9 million) in the quarter. In addition, gross margin fell 120 basis points to 38.8 percent. Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 4.1 percent in dollars and were flat as a percentage of sales at 37.9 percent.
Baker said, "We are confident that our inventory is well positioned for the fall season, and expect stronger financial performance from Lord & Taylor and the overall business in the back half of the year."

Princeton Program: Berlin Consortium for German Studies
Berlin, Germany
Program Overview
In 1995, Princeton University joined with peer institutions in the U.S. to form the Berlin Consortium of German Studies (BCGS). The goal of the program is to support advanced language students in direct enrollment courses at the Freie Universität Berlin (FU Berlin) and other academic institutions in Berlin for a semester or a full year. Those with special interests may enroll in courses at other local institutions such as the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the Technische Universität, the Universität Potsdam, the Universität der Künste Berlin, the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weissensee, and Hochschule für Musik "Hanns Eisler." (Please note that students may only take theoretical or historical classes at the art schools.)
The Consortium works in close cooperation with the FU Berlin, which provides an office for the Consortium on its campus.
Internship opportunities are available between semesters for full year students.
The University
The FU Berlin is a full university with 15 departments and institutes offering more than 160 programs in all subject areas and an exceptionally wide range of courses. Natural sciences, humanities, social sciences, and medicine are the largest faculties. Smaller, more specialized disciplines are particularly well represented, ranging from religious studies and ethnology to studies in Asian culture, the antiquities, art history, and musicology.
More than 39,000 students, including 5,500 international students, make up FU's student body. Like most European universities, it is not a residential university, and its student body commutes to the campus from all over greater Berlin.
The Setting
Primarily located in Dahlem (part of the southwestern Berlin borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf), the FU Berlin campus includes offices and classrooms housed in villas, some large lecture halls, parks, and wooded areas. The FU Berlin has a large library system, computer facilities, a center for recreational sports, and a wide array of student organizations.
Berlin, the capital of the unified German Federal Republic, is a vibrant city of around three and a half million people. A city of great historical significance, it offers many cultural attractions, including theater, cabarets, art museums, and galleries.

I have the Echo SRM 261T. Question on the fuel octane.
Most folks recommend 89. Four fuels available in this part of country. 85, 87, 89 & 91. Only the 85 and 91 don't have ethanol blended into it. Does ethanol effect performance? Thinking on using 85 non-blended with the Echo 50:1 mix. Thoughts? thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Are you sure it's the 85? I guess different states have different blends? In my area E85 is ethanol blend and 87 is usually non-ethonal? Yes, ethanol blends affect preformance, ethanol burns cooler and don't have the Btu of non-corn gas. So IMO anything without ethanol is better not to mention the lack of miosture in ethanol blended gases which over time if left in your trimmer during storage will eat up the rubber seals by deterioration. |
I would use 91 just to be safe. Best without alcohol. |
I've used 87 in my Echo trimmer for going on 10 years with no problems.... |
I used 87 in all my outdoor tools but one day, the shop asked what I use. When I told them 87, they said to switch to premium. Apparently, it must be a better quality or something in California. Very little difference in cost but they said it will prevent many problems in the future. |
