Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do absences count?
A: All absences count. The only "excused" absences are for religious holidays, documented jury duty, documented military duty, and university-sponosored activities.
Q: I missed a class because I was ill and I have a letter from my doctor. Will I be counted absent for that day?
A: You will be counted absent; however, because you have a letter from the doctor saying you were ill and could not attend class owing to the illness, or proof of hospitalization, you can receive "grade averaging."
Q: How many excused absences can I have?
A: There are no excused absences in the Language Program. Students are allowed a specific number of absences in each level without penalization (Check you course syllabus.). Absences for any reason are counted as such. However, if you are absent owing to a university-sponsored event, a religious holiday, or hospitalization, you can make-up the work you missed.
Q: What does "University-sponsored activity" mean?
A: A SPONSORED EVENT or activity is one that the University endorses by supporting it financially, or by sending students to participate in it as official representatives of the University. An ORGANIZED EVENT is one that is initiated, planned, and arranged by a member of the University's faculty or staff, or by the members of a sponsored student organization, and is approved by an appropriate administrator. An APPROPRIATE ADMINISTRATOR is a dean, department chair, or director of an administrative unit, or their delegate. The types of activities and events covered by this policy include course-related field trips, Recreational Sports club trips, the activities of sponsored student organizations, and meetings of academic organizations where a student is officially representing the University. The policy does not apply to absences due to attending such events as a non-University representative, or to engaging in student teaching, internships, practicums, observations, or research, unless the research is organized by a member of the faculty. Source: Appendix K of the University's 2006-2007 catalog (Student Travel Policy for University-Organized or Sponsored Events).
Q: What course should I take if I already speak (some) Portuguese?
- Go in person to the Center for Teaching and Learning (GSB 2.130) and purchase a form (it costs about $70). You do not need to request any special confirmation to get the form.
- Please fill out the form and collect ALL signatures on it (including your dean's and the chair of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese).
- Once you have everything ready, e-mail Vivian Flanzer, the Coordinator of Portuguese Lower-Division, at email@example.com to schedule the test. Please note that the test can only be take during the class period in the Fall and Spring semesters, during Prof. Flanzer's office hours. You will receive a grade of Credit or No-Credit; letter grades are not given.
Q: What do I do if I need to take a placement test for Portuguese?
A: First go to the Instructional Assessment and Evaluation, former Measure and Evaluation Center (http://www.utexas.edu/academic/mec/) and get a form (it costs about $50). Please fill in the form and collect ALL signatures on it (including your dean's and the chair of the Spanish and Portuguese Department). Once you have everything ready, e-mail Vivian Flanzer, the Supervisor of the Portuguese Language Program, at email@example.com to schedule the test. Please note that the test can only be taken during the class period in the Fall and Spring semesters, during Flanzer's office hours. You will receive a grade of Credit or No-Credit; letter grades are not given.
Q: What's the difference between POR 406 and POR 508?
A: POR 406 is a beginners' course designed for non-Spanish speakers and POR 508 is a beginners' course designed for Spanish speakers. POR 508 is an accelerated course, and corresponds to POR 406 + POR 407.
Q: Is POR 508 taught in Spanish?
A: No, it is taught in Portuguese.
Q: Can I take POR 508 if I had some Spanish in high school?
A: No. Only register for POR 508 if you are fluent in Spanish (i.e., you should be able to read, write and speak fluently in Spanish). Your Spanish will not be tested.
Q: What is the difference between POR 312K and POR 516?
A: POR 312K is an intermediate course designed for non-Spanish speakers and POR 516 is an intermediate/advanced course designed for Spanish speakers. POR 516 is an accelerated course, and corresponds to POR 312K + POR 312L.
Q: Which Portuguese is taught at UT Austin?
A: Brazilian Portuguese.
Q: What do I need to in order to major or minor in Portuguese?
A: Please contact the department Undergraduate Advisors.
Q: What are the pre-requisites for Portuguese language courses?
A: Owing to the fact the pre-requisites may change from year to year, it is best to consult the latest course catalog or speak to one of the department's Undergraduate Advisors.
Q: Does the department offer POR classes in the summer?
A: Generally, POR 604 is taught in the first summer session and POR 612 in the second; however, you need to check the Summer Course Schedule to see if they will be offered.
Q: Can I take a course Pass/Fail?
A: If you take any Portuguese lower-division course on a Pass/Fail or Credit/No-Credit basis you will not be able to register for the next level course. The reason for this is that in order to satisfy the pre-requisite for a lower-division course, you must have earned a grade of C or better. A grade of P/F or C/NC does not guarantee that the student had at least a 73% in the course.
Q: Can I audit a Portuguese course?
A: No. The department does not allow auditors in Portuguese language classes. The only exception is made for UT faculty members, who must register as an official auditor. To do so, go to the Registrar's office in the Main Building and ask for a class auditor's permit. It costs $20. Fill out the form (you will need to know the course title, unique number and the name of the instructor) and take it to the instructor on the first day of class.
Q: The syllabus says I have to be here for the final exam and that there is no make-up for the final. Can I take my final early if I have a good reason?
A: Students must take their exams with their class. There is no make-up exam for POR.
Q: I want to study in Brazil. Where can I get information on schools and/or financial aid?
A: Visit the Study Abroad website to get familiar with the opportunities and schedule an appointment as soon as possible with Study Abroad in Brazil Advisors.

Ordered Edge CS Evolution Programmer with matching gauge housing. Easy to install, looks great. Four levels to choose from. Nice gain if your willing to use premium fuel. Have modified exhaust & intake so it really pulls better. Nice surprise when I took off the speed limiter. Now have to put on speed rated tires, from 95 to 120 & still pulling. Built in OBDII reader really sweetens the deal. Wish I'd ordered it sooner.
Know before you buy! Read customer reviews about Performance Monitors or ask our Product Experts.
When you decide you want more power for your ride, it's time to install a performance chip or programmer to your ride. Now, you just need to decide which programmer is going to deliver the maximum results. Here's the skinny on everything you need to know to help you decide between Hypertech and Bully Dog.
If there's one name synonymous with truck performance and power, it has to be Bully Dog Performance. In fact, with the insane horsepower (or is it dog power) and torque gains delivered by Bully Dog chips and performance tuners, they give a whole new meaning to the term, "in the dog house!"
Deciding to add more power to your ride isn't a difficult decision. But, deciding if the pros outweigh the cons can be tricky. That's why we make it easy for you by outlining all of the pros and cons of performance chips to help make your buying decision even easier.

HoopsHype Coby Karl rumors
One of the short term objectives for George Karl is assembling his coaching staff in Sacramento and it's likely that the Kings existing assistants will remain intact -- with perhaps one addition, CSNCalifornia.com is learning. According to league sources, Mitch Richmond and Coby Karl are possible additions. Richmond -- a Hall of Famer, former King, and current scout for the franchise -- may be in the mix to join Karl's staff. Coby Karl, George's son, is currently playing professionally in Germany and is under contract. So a more likely scenario is that the younger Karl joins the Sacramento ranks this summer. CSNBayArea.com
Coby Karl will continue his career in Germany with MHP Ludwigsburg, a source told Sportando. The American guard/forward, son of the NBA coach of the year, started the season with Reggio Emilia of Italy. Sportando
Nuggets coach George Karl is miffed NBA teams haven't given another chance to his son Coby Karl. Coby is averaging 13.2 points, 6.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds for the D-League's Idaho Stampede. Coby, 30, hasn't been on an NBA roster since finishing the 2009-10 season with the Nuggets, when George Karl was sidelined by cancer. Sulia
The coach believes Coby gets overlooked because he's older and NBA teams are seeking younger prospects. "Right now, you go to the D-League and no one looks at Coby Karl because he's (30) years old,'' said George Karl. "If he's the best player in the D-League, he still should get picked up. It should not be based upon youthful potential.'' Sulia
The player: Coby Karl, F, Idaho Stampede When I played in the D-League two years ago, most teams had one or two NBA guys with experience. Now they have five, six or seven guys. All of the facilities have improved, too. You really felt like you were in the minor leagues a couple of years ago. You'd go to a gym and see a couple of fans there, and you never knew if the locker rooms would have enough space. We're even staying in nicer hotels now. I remember when Utah was in the league, we stayed on the side of the road at a truck stop, and we were eating at a Flying-J. There was a nice hotel five minutes down the road, but the team didn't have the budget. ESPN.com
Waiving Howard creates an open roster spot for a small forward who can defend. The options include signing swingman James Anderson, cut just Thursday by San Antonio, or a veteran sitting at home such as Michael Redd, who has had knee problems of his own; pulling a wing player such as Chris Douglas-Roberts or Coby Karl, who played on the Wolves' summer league team, from the Development League; or trading for a player such as Raja Bell, who is sitting home in exile from Utah. Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Ben Golliver: Blazers camp invites Coby Karl, Dallas Lauderdale & Justin Holiday all officially added to Idaho Stampede's roster on Wednesday. Twitter @blazersedge
The Trail Blazers took the first step Friday toward finalizing their final roster for Wednesday's season opener when they informed Coby Karl, Adam Morrison and Justin Holiday that they will be waived Saturday. The cuts will bring the Blazers' roster to 15, the league maximum. Portland will send in waiver paperwork to the league Saturday, but team officials informed the players after Friday's practice, and they will not take part in the Blazers practice Saturday. Oregonian
"I want to thank the Blazers' organization for giving me a chance," Morrison told CSNNW.com. "I'm sorry things didn't work out, but I wish them nothing but success. Right now, I'm just going to talk to my agent and see where to go from here." CSNNW.com
After Thursday's game, the Blazers have a practice Friday before they make their final roster cuts to get down to the league maximum of 15 players. The Blazers already have 15 players under contract for the season, meaning Karl, Morrison and Justin Holiday will likely be cut Saturday. Teams have to turn in their final rosters Monday, but most will trim their rosters by Saturday to give players a chance to clear waivers by Monday. Oregonian
Chris Haynes: #Blazers head coach Terry Stotts says he'll probably go with Nolan Smith as the backup PG oppose to Coby Karl. Twitter @ChrisBHaynes
Since he got here, Coby Karl made headlines. Not just for the fact that his father is Nuggets head coach George Karl, but Coby "mistakenly" picked Brandon Roy's old #7 jersey, which seemed to Blazers fans as close to "MacBeth" as it could get. Though he hasn't been given the news, Coby somberly admits he thinks it's coming. Despite his great performances in the preseason, and the fact that some pundits think he can be the true back-up, Karl says people shouldn't kid themselves. CSNNW.com
The friendship skidded on a patch so icy that when Stotts became a head coach for the first time in 2002, the two men did not even speak, according to reports. Time has passed; they talk now but things still haven't gone back to the way they were. Still, Karl, currently the coach of the Denver Nuggets, asked for a favor. His son, Coby Karl, needed an NBA home and it was not a leap of faith for Karl to trust that the man he once called his best friend could help. " 'What's funny,' " Karl recently told Stotts. " 'There are two guys who I have loved very much in my life and I don't think they've had a fair opportunity, a real good opportunity to make an NBA team.' It was Terry Stotts when I coached him and also Coby now." Columbian
Through the 1980s and '90s, wherever Karl landed, so followed his No. 1 assistant. "They literally were hand in hand together," Coby says of his father and Stotts. "Doing everything." And through every step of their friendship, there was the freckled-faced boy. "He's like an old friend, or I'm his uncle," Stotts says. "It's a very special relationship." Columbian
The Trail Blazers have signed G Coby Karl, bringing the training camp roster to 19. He will wear No. 7. #RipCity Twitter

We have just one word for Noëlle's Bijoux House: amazing. It's everything (and even a bit more) we hoped for. The location is stunning: the cabin is right in the middle of rice fields. Absolutely one of our best AirBNB-experiences.
It's about a 15 minutes walk from the chaotic centre of Ubud. With honking mopeds and cars everywhere, Bijoux House is the perfect getaway to relax.
The house isn't easy to find, and there are quite a few stairs to climb, but we had excellent help from Wayan, who might just be the best taxi driver of Ubud. Noëlle arranged that he picked us up at the airport and he guided us to the house (even carried a backpack).
The house was exactly as you see in the picture: picturesque and with a beautiful view. We especially enjoyed the porch, where we listened to the frogs, birds and crickets. It was perfectly clean and tidy, and has a rather spacious bathroom for such a cosy house. The bed is a piece of art and has a pretty good matras.
You definetely should bring a flashlight, since it gets pretty dark around the rice fields. Just around the corner you'll find the Yellow Flower Café: a really nice hangout with great (organic!) food (try the 'coconut half' and one of their smoothies) and a beautiful view. Walk a bit further and you'll find a yogacenter. Great to start the day with a 7am yoga class.
We loved it and would definetely go there again.
Like a dream come true! For us the three days we spent in the little Bijoux house were among the highlights of our trip. We loved doing some yoga and then breakfast at the Yellow Flower Café, which are both only minutes away. We spend our evenings reading on the porch and watching the fireflies above the rice fields. Ubud Centre is a longer walk or a short cab ride away, which suited us fine, since we preferred the rice fields over the shops and restaurants. Overal it was a pretty magical stay and we hope to come back some time in the future!
My wife and I had a charming 3-night stay in Noelle's cottage. We went straight there after landing in Bali and it was an excellent start to our trip.
Their driver, Wayan, was at the airport waiting for us. He was an excellent driver (not too fast or aggressive) and was super friendly (great English).
The cottage has a very zen vibe that sets the tone for a very relaxing stay. It's funny... I was initially worried it would be too hot or that there would be too many bugs. Despite being fairly basic, I was really pleased to find the place spotlessly clean, no bugs to speak of (amazing), and the heat wasn't a bother because of the windows and the breeze (there is also a fan for the evenings). This is a bit like what we'd call "glamping" in the states (glamorous camping).
The staff (two ladies) were accessible when we needed laundry and the room was always spruced up when we came back from exploring.
It was a magical stay.
Though I did not meet Noelle during my stay, I had an incredible time staying in the Bijoux House. There is definitely that quiet cabin experience in Bali rice fields with close proximity to a bustling Ubud. You will find yourself supported by a lovely staff of maids and a driver, and the space itself is clean yet rustic in a wonderful way. I was treated like a guest of honor and Wayan is a champion for picking me up and dropping me off so late at night.
I cannot recommend this place enough!!! Bring your mosquito spray, as this is a tropical environment after all ;)
Beautiful small House in a rice field. Also the Yellow Cafe next to the house is amazing. Definetely recommend this place for everyone who wants to relax.
This is my favorite place in the world to stay and has the nicest staff. Made and Nyoman made me feel right at home, as usual, and the Gecco and I had our daily conversations. Miss Kitty and I became good friends and she came over to visit often. I look forward to my next stay in the wonderful Bijoux house.
A wonderful place. Everything was awesome. In the morning the noise of the crickets is a little hard at least at this time of the year. But this is nature:) I would like to come again!!

Required Reading
3:31 PM, Jul 18, 2008 • By DEAN BARNETT
You'll want to watch the whole thing, but here's a brief nugget from the conversation:
So what's the Democrats' next move? Is it "Betray Us" time again? Or does Barack Obama posit that he knows more about the independent variables in question than David Petraeus does?
The most likely scenario is that Obama continues his clumsy and inelegant straddle in which he tries to please the left's anti-war base while keeping at least a big toe dipped in reality. I would wager that Obama's position on Iraq will keep evolving throughout the campaign. I'd also wager that every time he discusses the subject, he won't be able to resist wedging in a little homage to his own magnificent judgment.

I hope this makes enough sense and someone can give me some feedback on this My problem is how to get back to the same form on errors found, but with the error values in place.
As you would normally postback to the same script and set the variables as you go. Now I am in the situation, that when I do the validation and try to show the same form but with the errors, I get a page/view within a page/view.
I sort of get where this is coming from, but I haven't found a solution yet, besides creating a different view that has the same contents, but is a different file. The latter seems redundant.
All controllers extend the basecontroller that creates the main view. All other views/files deliver their content to the mainview $content variable.

HoopsHype Montrezl Harrell rumors
Louisville junior forward Montrezl Harrell and sophomore guard Terry Rozier have each decided to leave school early and declare for the NBA draft, Cards coach Rick Pitino said Monday. "They're both leaving, yes, 100 percent," Pitino told reporters. "And it's the right thing to do for both of them. You all may have some doubts about Terry, but I don't." Louisville Courier-Journal
Kevin Pelton: Rick Pitino notes Terry Rozier and Montrezl Harrell are headed to "greener pastures" (I.e. NBA). Twitter @kpelton
Kevin Pelton: Pitino says he tells NBA personnel that Terry Rozier and Montrezl Harrell don't take a possession off in practice. Rozier credits Pitino. Twitter @kpelton
When Harrell hears others talk about his potential NBA draft status, his friends remind him that he could really be more consistent with his jumper, or they'll point out plays he didn't make. "They always bring me back to reality," Harrell said. "And the best thing about them is they never really harp on what good I've done. They harp more on the bad things I've done in a game." ESPN.com
The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the NBA Draft is 11 days away, and Louisville fans are waiting on pins and needles for sophomore forward Montrezl Harrell's final decision. Don't hold your breath. Sources indicate that Harrell won't have a decision until next week, and he's likely to leave. That would leave Louisville with a few options to fill Harrell's leftover scholarship, and coach Rick Pitino's recent recruiting activities imply the Cardinals probably have their eye on a few replacement options. Pitino also mentioned the possibility of a fifth-year transfer in his end-of-season press conference earlier this week. Louisville Courier-Journal
Adam Zagoria: Along w/ LaQuinton Ross, hearing Montrezl Harrell, Rodney Hood and Juwan Staten will all declare for the Draft. Twitter
Dime: Montrezl Harrell and Russ Smith are both projected to go in the first round of the NBA Draft this year. What do you expect in the future from your two former teammates? Peyton Siva: I definitely think they'll both make it. As per account of whoever I think they both have a legitimate shot to make it the NBA and have a great career. They are both great players and they're proven winners. They are back-to-back champions in their conference and they both won a National Championship. I think they will have great careers wherever they end up, whatever round they end up going. Dime

Men account for the majority of Windows Server System Administrators in the United States. The overall average income for this group is approximately $62K annually. Total cash earnings of Windows Server System Administrators range from $41K on the low end to $88K on the high end; the final amount can include bonuses and profit sharing proceeds that occasionally exceed $7K and $8K, respectively. The most important factor affecting compensation for this group is location, followed by tenure and the particular employer. Job satisfaction is high and work is enjoyable for most Windows Server System Administrators. Most enjoy medical while a strong majority get dental coverage. Vision coverage is also available to the larger part. The data for this synopsis comes from respondents who took the PayScale salary survey.

A Windows system administrator provides daily support and assistance for computer systems using the Windows platform. They may work for a business providing troubleshooting for other employees, work online or over the phone for a technical-support service, or work as part of a team of administrators. They also update and back up all data, monitor networks, and recommend viable solutions for problems to management. A systems administrator also keeps security software up to date and maintains machines and servers to keep them at an optimal level of performance. The typical work environment is generally in an office setting during regular business hours; however, emergencies that threaten the integrity of network security may require a system administrator to be on-call.Read More...
A high school diploma generally is required for a systems administrator; a bachelor's degree in IT, computer science, engineering, or a related field generally is preferred, although experience may be substituted for college education. System administrators using the Windows platform must have strong problem solving and critical thinking skills as much of their job entails resolving the many issues that may arise in the network. They also need strong customer service and communication skills as they will often need to convey highly technical information to non-experts. They need to be excellent planners as well, because they need to be prepared for the worst-case scenarios and prevent important data from being lost.

Windows Server System Administrators may progress into high-paying roles like Information Technology Director, where median compensation is $101K annually.

Survey results imply that Windows Server System Administrators deploy a substantial tool kit of skills at work. Most notably, skills in VMware ESX, Virtual Machine, Active Directory, and Windows 2003 Server are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 5 percent and 10 percent. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Microsoft Office and Cisco Networking. Most people skilled in Windows 2003 Server are similarly competent in VMware ESX. For most people, competency in Microsoft Active Directory indicates knowledge of Microsoft Exchange, VMware ESX, and Virtual Machine (VM).
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Windows Server System Administrators with a lot of experience do not necessarily enjoy more money. The average worker who claims fewer than five years of experience earns around $52K. In contrast, however, individuals who report five to 10 years in this occupation see a much larger median of $62K. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $68K in this role. People who have worked for more than 20 years report a median income of $72K, which is barely higher than the median for folks with 10 to 20 years of experience.
With a pay rate for Windows Server System Administrators that is 33 percent greater than the national average, San Francisco offers a comfortable salary for those in this profession. Windows Server System Administrators can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Denver (+17 percent), New York (+16 percent), Washington (+14 percent), and San Diego (+9 percent). Trailing the national average by 11 percent, Austin is the market with the smallest paychecks. Employers pay around 6 percent less in Phoenix and 5 percent less in Detroit, below-median salaries for those in this field.

This was exactly as ordered
This was my first time using this site to order school magnets. The process was fast and easy and will be using them again next school year. Thanks for maintaining quality products and great prices.
Great product!!
These magnets are such a hit with our school!! They are amazing quality and such a great help to our parents!
Students, Parents, and Staff loved this school calendar. It was easy to read and very helpful when making plans for the year. The classy design also makes it look great where ever you put it!
Have purchased for our school 2 years in a row
I like the prompt service and the fact that I have the opportunity to review and correct any errors before the magnets are produced. My one suggestion would be to allow users to stop and save their dates midway through keying them in, and then be able to log back on and pick up where you left off. Maybe this is already an option but, if so, I haven't discovered it. Other than that, a good experience, and my magnets look just like I expected them to.
Great product
Magnet street continues to give us prompt, personalized service year after year. This is the first year that I've needed to "tweak" my proof. They were quick and efficient about it.

Have been using this product for over 2 years after first learning about it here on Detailed Image. As a car-guy and "pro-sumer" of detailing products and equipment, this is my undisputed choice for interior cleaning of plastics and vinyl. I cannot emphasize how much I cannot stand greasy, cheap-looking interior surfaces due to cheap products, and 1Z Cockpit works great.
Clean scent, very minimal and inconspicuous after an hour. As another poster had said, it works like it was designed for a German car.

Sometimes the feeling to be a woman is just overwhelming | kristi2002's Blog
It usually happens a couple times a month, the overwhelming urge to be the woman I know I was born to be. Today is one of those days. A day when all I can think about is putting on one of my favorite outfits and just be me. Unfortunately, our society frowns on those of us it deems as different or perverted. Why can't I just wear a skirt or dress to work everyday? Who will it hurt? I will still do my job. Why can't I wear heels while I'm shopping? I'm not going to bother you. Why can't I wake up each day and put on my make up like any other "normal" woman? I'm not asking for special treatment. I just want to be myself. I'm a regular girl who just wants to be accepted as a regular girl.

Click to hear the interview.
March 22, 2011 -- In a recent study, four out of five federal IT executives indicated that mission critical systems were in jeopardy if they do not modernize. The dilemma, of course, do you rip and replace or do you preserve and extend?
The study was commissioned by Unisys and executed by Meritalk. It consisted of questions posed to 166 federal IT leaders from MeriTalk.
47 percent of respondents work on older technologies that need to be modernized but, overall, only one in three thinks that application modernization is a priority in their agency.
Unisys has come up with a solution. It's called AMPS (Application Modernization Platform as a Service). Rather than taking years to complete, this new offering allows you to give an assessment of your current systems and incrementally upgrade service.
During this interview, Peter Gallagher, partner in the Civilian Federal Systems group for Unisys, explains how AMPS can assist in an incremental upgrade of applications - no matter the platform.

Missing flight attendant found in submerged car
The Texas Rangers and Jim Wells County Sheriff's Department are investigating the death of a 41-year-old San Antonio woman found in a car submerged in a pond just north of Orange Grove.
Flight attendant Stacy Saenz, 41, was last seen alive March 11 by her fiancé, who lives near the property where the pond is located, near Farm to Market Road 738. Two young adults fishing at the pond on Sunday noticed the bumper of a green Honda Accord in the water and called 911.
The Nueces County medical examiner completed an autopsy Monday and determined Saenz likely drowned. It's unclear how long Saenz had been in the water, said Ric Ortiz, chief forensic investigator with the medical examiner's office.
Jim Wells County Sheriff Oscar Lopez and investigator Sgt. Jose Martinez said Tuesday that an investigation into Saenz's death is ongoing.

BY BRETT HONEYCUTT Travis Briscoe: Born Again to Ride ANDY WATSON / PBR Professional Bull Riding star Travis Briscoe was on his deathbed a near-decade ago, but unfathomable healing brought him back to bull riding. BY STEPHEN COPELAND SPORTS YAPP: Sports Spectrum podcast host Bryce Johnson interviews voice of the Arizona Cardinals Dave Pasch in his three-time-a-week podcast called "SPORTS YAPP." Listen here. 14 ANOTHER ANGLE Staff writer Stephen Copeland spends a couple days with Indianapolis Colts ex-punter Hunter Smith, highlighting the humorous side of faith and sports. SPORTS SPECTRUM ~ DIGIMAG 2011 3 Clyde Christensen IT'S BEEN A TRYING YEAR FOR COLTS OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR CLYDE CHRISTENSEN, BUT HIS PAST PUTS EVERYTHING IN PERSPECTIVE. ifty million weren't as lucky as Clyde Christensen. The Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator--midst the fame of winning a Super Bowl in 2007, working hand in hand with Peyton Manning and spearheading an organization with Tony Dungy--won't ever forget that simple truth. He was one of the lucky ones. --It was 4 o'clock on a Monday afternoon in 1956 when Richard Christensen finally got the call he had been waiting for. It was the Los Angeles County Adoption Agency. "We have a child for you," they said. It'd been a long road. Seven years before, there was the initial "shock" of learning about his wife, June's, physical troubles that prevented her from having children. And then there was the seemingly endless halfdecade long search for a child. But finally, this: Clyde, their son, laying in a crib at the adoption agency. Perhaps the sight was worth the wait. The next morning, on his way to his church office in San Pedro, Calif., Richard was so overcome with joy that he had to pull over on the side of the road. Says Richard in his frail, gravelly voice, "You all of a sudden realize, `I'm a father.'" Whoever Clyde's biological father and mother were, they'll never know. But judging from Clyde's stellar high school and college football careers, it's fair to assume that one or both of them were athletic. Clyde excelled at Royal Oak High School in his hometown of Covina, Calif., then earned All-America status at Fresno City Junior College before lettering two years at the University of North Carolina. Richard says his son was a "shifty and fast" quarterback but was too short to excel at the D1 or NFL level. "He was shorter than Doug Flutie," he jokes. Following school, Clyde began to climb the collegecoaching ladder. Ole Miss. ETSU. Temple. East Carolina. And the list goes on. But his coaching career changed when he brushed shoulders with someone 20 years ago: Tony Dungy. Bobby Jones, one of the most respected defenders in NBA history who happens to be one of Clyde's best friends, asked Clyde to volunteer at a coaching clinic in Hilton Head, SC...to ironically help him coach basketball. Dungy was there for football. The three of them met one another, and the rest, of course, is history. "Right after that, Tony joined us at my house along F with Clyde. I remember doing Bible trivia together, and Tony knew all the answers," Jones jokes. In 1996, Dungy offered Clyde a position with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he hasn't left the NFL since. He followed Dungy to Indianapolis and attained the epitome of football success with a Super Bowl victory in 2007 as the Colts' wide receiver's coach. "It's all been the journey," Clyde says. "There have been Super Bowl wins. There have been Super Bowl losses. We've buried parents. And we've buried sons. It hasn't all been just wins and losses. It's bigger than that." --Clyde's football resume is impressive. But as he says, it's bigger than that. A perfect example is All Pro Dad, an organization that Clyde and Dungy founded in 1997 where they apply Biblical principles to fatherhood. The organization boasts over 1,000 chapters at public schools, a 70,000-person email to fathers and 53 NFL spokesmen that altogether make an immeasurable impact on families across the nation. "(Tony and I) are just two guys that want to do it the way God's called us to do it," Clyde says. "That's what I hope that organization is about. It's about men. It's about having a commitment." JIM MCISAAC / GETTY IMAGES His passion for All Pro Dad, perhaps, spurns from his past--when God, he says, all-knowingly placed him in a family. "I don't ever remember a day in my life not knowing that Christ was the center of our homes, the center of our lives, our creator and all of those things," Clyde says. "I don't remember a day not knowing Jesus Christ as being real, personal and being involved in the day-to-day stuff, and for that I'm extremely grateful." And to think that, in reality, Clyde, the product of a teenage pregnancy, was lucky just to be born, nonetheless adopted into a God-fearing family. "To whom much is given, much is expected," Clyde says. "For me to think that God said, `Hey, here is the family I want to put Clyde into and take care of all those circumstances with his hand, it touches me. It's hard to comprehend." Clyde Christensen was one of the lucky ones. "Since then I always share that 50 million didn't get the chance I got," says Clyde with glassy eyes. "It's not just one life with abortion. This world would be fine without me, it wouldn't lose anything, but without my three girls (Rachel, Rebecca and Ruth), it would have missed something...It's not just one life. It's generations. I'm touched each time I look at my kids...that some teenage gal gave me a chance." - STEPHEN COPELAND JOE ROBBINS / GETTY IMAGES NFL CLOSEUP S P O R T S S P E C T R U M ~ FA L L D I G I M A G 2 0 1 1 5 CFL CLOSEUP Anthony Calvillo YOU'VE PROLLY NEVER HEARD OF ANTHONY CALVILLO, BUT HE'S ONE OF THE BEST QUARTERBACKS TO PLAY THE GAME n Oct. 10, Anthony Calvillo stood on a football field thousands of miles and a nation away from where he grew up in California. He listened to the cheers and applause from the 23,960 fans in attendance at Montreal's Molson Stadium on that Canadian Thanksgiving Monday. The cheers grew loud as people stood, yelled and clapped. Then there was silence. Several more times cheers erupted and silence followed. The on and off cheering was caused as fans listened to football greats give congratulatory messages via the stadium's video board. A message would play and the cheering would stop. The message would finish, and the cheering would pick back up again. Fans listened with reverence and a seeming giddiness to messages by Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino, Pro Football and Canadian Football Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon, ESPN anchor Chris Berman and CFL legendary quarterback Damon Allen (Marcus Allen's brother and holder of many of the records that Calvillo has broken this season). The broken records � that's why fans were cheering and the reason congratulations were being given. Calvillo had just become pro football's all-time leader in passing yards, to replace Allen at the top of that list. Yes, Calvillo has passed for more yards than Brett Favre, Marino, Moon, Allen and anyone in the Pro Football or Canadian Football Hall of Fame. Now in his 18th season and at 39 years of age, Calvillo is finally gaining some notice in the U.S. (Sports Spectrum was actually the first of the major U.S. sports magazines to write about Calvillo as he neared the record. We featured him in the 2009 Fall issue, and he talked about his salvation in 2000, his wife Alexia's battle with cancer in 2007, his record chase, his Grey Cup titles and his CFL player of the year awards. He now has led Montreal to eight CFL Super Bowl games, or Grey Cup as they call it, and three Grey Cup titles). ESPN's Chris Berman recently featured Calvillo in his Two-minute Drill after Calvillo broke the all-time passing yards mark on Oct. 10, and famous L.A. Times columnist Bill Plaschke wrote a beautiful column after Calvillo set the mark. That was the most recent of his accomplishments this season, though. At last season's Grey Cup, the CFL's Super Bowl, he set the championship game record for career yards with 2,470, and he also set the record for most championship game starts, with eight before leading Montreal to its second straight title and third under Calvillo. The records didn't stop, though. On July 15, against the Toronto Argonauts, Calvillo set the CFL record for career touchdowns (395), and on Aug. 4 he set the CFL record for career completions (5,159), again against Toronto. But it was the Oct. 10 game that gained him exposure in American news media and recognition at a Montreal Canadiens NHL hockey game. On that Oct. 10 day, as time wound down in the third quarter, he threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to Jamel Richardson and became pro football's all-time leader in passing yards. It helped the Alouettes beat Toronto 29-19 and clinch a playoff berth. After last week's game, which ended the regular season, Calvillo has amassed 73,412 career yards, and he led the league this season with 5,251 passing yards and 32 touchdowns. (Montreal hosted the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the first round of the CFL playoffs on Sunday, Nov. 13, and he is eyeing another title). But, as he acknowledged in the 2009 Sports Spectrum article: championships, records and anything material didn't seem to matter in February of 2000 when he was contemplating the deep issues of life. "That's when I really committed myself to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ," Calvillo says. "A good friend of mine, his wife passed away and we were talking about life and death. It started me thinking, `What do I have to look forward to?'" "I thought it was God touching my heart at the time and to commit myself to Him and bring me closer to Him." His growth as a player has mirrored his growth as a follower of Christ. "I remember challenging him years ago because he was known as a student of the playbook," says Montreal chaplain Tom Paul. "I said, "AC," you're known throughout the league for your thorough preparation of the playbook, if God has given us the Bible as His playbook for life, isn't it a lot more important in preparing and studying the Bible?' And Anthony took that challenge. First thing in the morning and at night, he's in the scriptures." - BRETT HONEYCUTT O SPORTS SPECTRUM ~ DIGIMAG 2011 CRAIG KLEM / GETTY IMAGES 7 He's blue! He's blue!" George cried, as they wheeled his son, Travis, into the operating room. "In the name of Jesus! In the name of Jesus! In the name of Jesus!" screamed Travis' mother, Debbie, who was signing documents at the nurse's desk. Perhaps that's all you can say when your 16-yearold son is on his deathbed--when a typical Thanksgiving weekend is transformed into a traumatizing nightmare--when your son is mistakenly rushed to the operating room without his oxygen tank, his life source. The doctors and nurses quickly retrieved the oxygen tank, which, at the very least, prolonged what little life he had left. "I need to talk to you," said the anesthesiologist before the surgery. 8 SPORTS SPECTRUM ~ DIGIMAG 2011 " Debbie Fincher looked at him. "You have a very sick child, and I don't think he's going to make it through surgery. If he does, he won't live long after that." Debbie returned to the waiting room crying hysterically, harrowed by the hellish reality that the next purchase for Travis, instead of Christmas presents like every other sophomore in high school, may be a coffin. "They said--they said he's not going to--make it," she choked, her body convulsing uncontrollably and slowly crumbling to the floor as if every joint was collapsing. Her brother grabbed her. Then he slapped her in the face. "I don't want to ever hear words like that come out of your mouth," born again to ride PROFESSIONAL BULL RIDING STAR TRAVIS BRISCOE WAS ON HIS DEATHBED A NEAR-DECADE AGO. THAT'S WHEN UNFATHOMABLE HEALING WHICH CAN ONLY BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE DIVINE BROUGHT HIM BACK TO BULL RIDING...AND SURPRISINGLY BETTER THAN EVER BY STEPHEN COPELAND ANDY WATSON / PBR he said sternly. "God is not going to let him die." When Wrestling Goes Wrong "It drove me nuts because I was the one that did it. I just kept thinking, `What the hell did I do?'" After spending Thanksgiving in Colorado Springs with his mother, Travis went to his dad's house for the weekend in Edgewood, New Mexico, just east of Albuquerque. Travis, his father George Briscoe and his cousin Levi were wrestling in the living room like they always do, when all 185 pounds of George and 140 of Levi landed on the delicate 120-pound frame of Travis--and primarily on his cheekbone. W E B S I T E : w w w. S p o r t s S p e c t r u m . c o m It hurt, of course. But Travis was a bull rider--and a good one at that, acclaimed by his peers and expected to make a dent on the Professional Bull Riding Tour whenever he turned 18. His opponent was usually a 2000-pound four-legged creature. A measly wrestling wound was nothing. The next morning, George went into Travis' room to wake him up to do school work (Travis was home schooled by Debbie). "I don't feel good," Travis said. "Alright, let's take the day off from school," George replied. The next morning, George went into his room again. "Travis, get up and take a shower." "Okay," Travis said. SPORTS SPECTRUM ~ DIGIMAG 2011 9 Several minutes later, George went in the bathroom and saw Travis, soaking wet, standing in front of the heater. "C'mon buddy, put you're clothes on." "Nah, I need to get a shower first." (Pause. Panic. Confusion.) "Alright, you're going to the doctor." If Travis' life was an allegorical bull ride, he was about to get tossed and then trampled. Three days after the wrestling accident, his skin was a sickly yellow, his body and cheek were swollen, and he was glued to a hospital bed unable to communicate, breathe naturally or think clearly. All because of a sinus infection. Yes, a sinus infection. He unknowingly had one before the wrestling incident, and when George's hip landed on the side of his face, the infection spread like fire, infiltrating his eye socket and making his forehead swell like a baseball. Only a few days before, he was enjoying Thanksgiving dinner with his mother's side of the family in Colorado Springs. And now this. "But they (the doctors) weren't reacting like it was an emergency situation," Debbie says. "They were letting him die." Debbie knew something wasn't right. So she contacted the chief of staff at the hospital and pressured the doctors to perform surgery that night. Soon, she got her way. Travis went into surgery that evening, the doctors believing it'd be his last night on earth. "They basically told me he was going to die and there was nothing I could do about it," Debbie says. "That was the first horrible moment." Healing Begins "There's a miracle in here. I can feel the presence of God." The second worst moment came when Travis was declared septic, meaning that his entire body had become an infection. They put him on three antibiotics. Nothing helped. They performed ultrasounds on him so they could see his organs. They couldn't even see them because of the swelling. The first surgery had gone well, considering they expected him to die. But even after they removed the infection from his eye, it continued to spread throughout the rest of his body. It became so powerful that his body could no longer contain it. It quit fighting. "I remember sitting in that hospital room and just watching the clock go by," Travis says. "I didn't know if it was ever going to end--if I would ever come out of this." Again, the doctors told George and Debbie that their son would die. But they'd been through it before. And as Debbie says, they weren't the "type of people who take `no' for an answer." So they said "no" to death, calmed down, started praying and began playing praise music in Travis' room. That's when the nurse walked into the room and could sense something supernatural taking place. "There's a miracle in here," she said. "I can feel the presence of God." Travis' swelling went down the next day. "The only way to calm him down was to talk about bull riding." By the time Christmas rolled around, things were looking up. It wasn't a normal Christmas, by any means. Fifteen to 20 of his family members gathered in the hospital, like they had been for the last month. "It was the longest month of my life," says George, who can hardly recall what transpired because of his blurred mental state. But there were positives nonetheless. Travis could once again communicate. And doctors believed they had his infection under control. Still, to be certain, a man named Dr. Ellison spent all of Christmas Day researching Travis' situation and monitoring him because he didn't want it to come back. "I've been looking at this," Ellison said. "And I think we're going to have to do one more surgery. I'm going to clean out the whole cavity." Two days later, they were preparing to rid the infection once and for all. That morning, however, his surgery was delayed, and Debbie sat patiently at the end of Travis' bed rubbing his feet. The two of them were talking. Travis was being his goofy self. Debbie was being her loving self. Then Travis kicked Debbie. "Travis! Why did you do that?" Then he did it again. And again. And again. "Something is wrong! Something is wrong!" Debbie screamed. Ellison came in and knew immediately that the infection had gone to his brain, triggering a foray of unpredictable seizures. They performed a CAT scan, rushed him into surgery and Ellison notes that the only thing that comforted Travis during the whole ordeal was talk of bull riding--even though every doctor and nurse knew he'd never be MATT BRENEMAN / BULLSTOCKMEDIA.COM Death Scare No. 3 ANDY WATSON / PBR able to ride bulls again. But at least in the moment, talk of bull riding calmed him down, allowing Ellison and his team to cut Travis' forehead open from sideburn to sideburn and enter the brain. "They told me three times during this that he would die," Debbie remembers. "They also told him he would never ride bulls again. I remember one time, the doctor left the room and Travis said, `What will I do if I can't ride bulls?' I said, `You will ride bulls. We won't listen to the doctor.'" Born Again "Everything I knew before was pretty much gone. I was just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for God to show me what I needed to do--what I had to do. It always came back to bull riding." April 29 was the first day of Travis Briscoe's life. The day before, they'd gone to the doctor. Knowing how much Travis loved bull riding--how just the mere mention of the sport breathed life into his dying body five months before--Ellison looked at him and gave him his answer: "I'll tell you one thing: I won't ever tell you not to ride bulls." Two years later, Travis was on the Professional Bull Riding Tour at age 18. In his first event in Grand Rapids, Mich., he finished third; and in his next event, he captured second place in Columbus, Ohio, scoring 92.5 points on "Yellow Jacket," one of the most ruthless bulls of all time whom he used to dream of riding watching television as a kid. More importantly, he now has a wife, Jessie, and a five-month-old daughter, Bentley Leigh. "Through all of that, the brain surgery and everything--it turned my life and my family's life 180 degrees in a different direction," Travis says. "I can't even explain the feeling I get when I think about it today. God is great--what he's done in my life and my family's life. If he would do something like that for me, he'd do it for anybody. "That goes to show how good God's grace is. I would not have walked W E B S I T E : w w w. S p o r t s S p e c t r u m . c o m out of the hospital if it wouldn't have been for that. Not only be able to walk again and function, but to be able to do what I love better than before it happened. It's still amazing to hit rock bottom like that and then be better off than before." This year has been a struggle for Travis thanks to an ankle injury that required 17 screws and three plates, forcing him to miss the PBR World Finals for the first time in seven years. But perhaps "struggle" is the wrong word. What he went through a near-decade ago--that was a struggle. "I was just kind of down and out the whole season," Travis says. "But to think and relive everything I went through back then, I realize that this year is nothing. We just believed that God had me in His hands. And six months later, I was riding bulls again." Six months after surgery, Travis Briscoe was in the bucking shoot. It was April 29th in T or C, New Mexico, his first amateur rodeo since the sinus infection that nearly buried him. The day before, Ellison had cleared him to ride, and now, after a sleepless night and an emotional trip to the stadium, the ride was upon him. "I was just anxious and scared, and just about every emotion I could go through I went through it that day," Travis says. The bell rang. The gate flew open. Dirt flew up. Seconds flew by. And before he knew it, he heard the 8-second whistle. He was back. "It wasn't reality until I was actually there," Travis remembers. "Little did I know, I wasn't going to start where I left off. I was going to comeback stronger and better than I already was." The people watching on April 29th had no idea what Travis had been through--no idea he had escaped death three times, no idea he was never supposed to ride bulls again, no idea that this was the first day of his life. No idea that he ordered his helmet six months before. Stephen Copeland is a staff writer at Sports Spectrum magazine. SPORTS SPECTRUM ~ DIGIMAG 2011 11 SPORTS YAPP B Y B RY C E J O H N S O N Yappin' With Voice of the Arizona Cardinals Dave Pasch COURTESY: DAVE PASCH BRYCE: What's the experience been like being in the (broadcasting) booth with Chris Spielman and Urban Meyer this year (on ESPN)? DAVE: It's my third year with Chris, and we've got a real good relationship off the air, and that translates on the air as well. You add Urban in and it's been seamless. I've learned more about football being around these two guys in a month and a half than I think I learned the previous 39 years. It's just been amazing. BRYCE: When was the last time you've been nervous calling a game? DAVE: I certainly was nervous before the Super Bowl three years ago (Cardinals vs. Steelers), like I've never been before. Even during the game I was nervous, especially when they got the lead late on the Larry Fitzgerald touchdown. You don't get that opportunity very often, and I remember saying to myself, "Just enjoy it and appreciate it; you don't know if you're ever gonna get back." BRYCE: What's it like calling a blowout game? DAVE: It's hard. The two true tests for a play-by-play announcer: 1) How you handle the big moment. 2) How you handle a BRYCE: What can you tell us about the Bible study you are involved with when you're on the road Friday nights before the games on Saturdays? DAVE: We've been studying the (book of) Mark. We do two chapters a week, and there are about five of us in there. It's usually right before everyone shuts it down for the night, and we spend about an hour. We built it up, and anyone that wants to come can come. It's something we all look forward to, and it's kind of a staple each week where we know that on Friday night after we've done our business and done all of our meetings, that's what's next on the docket. BRYCE: How important has it been to be in a group like this when it comes to accountability? DAVE: It's really been a blessing, the guys that God has put with me this year. I think there are more Christians out there in broadcasting than people realize, and sometimes we just don't ask. When you have other people around you that view things the same way you do it's much easier to turn away from temptations because you have that accountability. BRYCE: You've got a unique testimony, how did you decide to follow Christ? DAVE: I was raised in a Jewish home. I became a Christian about 11 years ago. I did a lot of reading and a lot of research and came to that point where I believed that the Bible was correct, accurate, true, and Christ was who he said he was. And then I had a choice to make. AARON MAY / SPORTS SPECTRUM blowout. You've still got to engage your analyst, and ask good questions, and you still have to respect the game, and you still have to make it interesting and entertaining and still document the game. I think it's easy if you get a great game every week, but when you have blowouts, it can be hard to keep the energy up and finding things to discuss to keep the listener entertained. Whether I was going to believe, repent and follow, or whether I was going to not believe and continue to live the way I was living. I never viewed it as a way out or a way to make me feel better about myself, I viewed it as an eternal decision, and it's a decision that I need to make. The journey has been fantastic.

SPORTS SPECTRUM ~ DIGIMAG 2011 ANOTHER ANGLE BY STEPHEN COPELAND Attack of the Wasps rowing up a Colts fan, I loved punter Hunter Smith. I even listened to his old band "Connersvine" throughout college. And now--even though he's retired--I love him even more, especially now that I know him. The dude is hilarious. Last Thursday and Friday, I met with him and All Pro Dad's Darrin Gray to work on a new project in conjunction with Sports Spectrum called "The Jersey Effect." (We'll give you more details later.) "Ya know," Hunter said Thursday morning as we sat in his basement. "If my voice is going to be the main one in this book, it needs to be humorous. I'm a funny guy." Little did I know... Within 10 minutes of our meeting, I got my first glimpse of Hunter's humor--when an intruder sent from Satan himself came to stunt our productivity. A wasp. Hunter's eyes locked onto the critter like a heat-seeking missile. Then he splattered the thing with a thunderous CLAP, sending a message to never invade his domain again. (I think I've only seen that look in a man's eyes one other time in my life. And it was when he and his teammates were playing the Patriots in the 2006 AFC Championship.) The wasps, however, weren't intimidated. Merely minutes later, there was another one hovering over our heads, Hunter gradually growing more and more upset as if a burglar was trying to break into his house. Then another came. And another. And before I knew it, I was up out of my seat with a wasp on my back as the Colts ex-punter danced around me swatting at my rear. "I hate these sons of bugs!" he grunted in his Texas drawl. At one point, a wasp landed on a picture frame that sat on the mantel above his fireplace. Hunter withdrew his trusty sword--which was a rolled up piece of paper--took a mighty Albert Pujols-esque swing at the wasp, completely whiffed and accidentally made solid contact with his wife's decorative vase to the left. The vase came tumbling down and seemingly fell in slow motion as we braced ourselves for the splintering shatter of glass meeting brick. G I remember thinking, "This guy can punt a football 70 yards, but he can't squash a resting bug." We'll blame it on adrenaline. Yet somehow--and I have no idea how--the vase didn't break. My only explanation is that Hunter is such a good Christian guy that God extends grace to him in the everyday annoyances of life...like getting a flat tire, dropping a cell phone or swatting a glass vase with a paper ep�e. The wasps continued to periodically show up one by one throughout the day, and by the time I left there was a minefield of carcasses scattered across his basement floor. The next morning, I got to his house a little early while he was at a Bible study. "Did Hunter tell you about the wasps?" I asked his wife, Jen. "The what?" she asked. "Oh...shoot, he didn't tell you? Hmmmmmm...I'm gonna go downstairs. Have a nice day Mrs. Smith!" The dreaded wasp situation wasn't the only funny thing that happened. This column, in fact, can't contain all of Hunter's humor over a 17-hour span without a table of contents. Anyway, after a good five hours of discussion on Thursday, we left to go get lunch. "I've got a good place for us," Hunter said. Next thing I knew we were trekking down a winding gravel road in his pickup truck through the Zionsville woods. I looked out the window. It was a dreary and rainy autumn afternoon in Indiana...almost creepy as we journeyed down a rocky road that I promise can't be found on Google Maps. "Oh my gosh," I thought to myself. "The Colts ex-punter is going to take me to a dilapidated barn in the middle of a Hoosier cornfield, and he's going to kill me." "So where did you grow up in Indy?" Hunter asked. I didn't hear anything. I was picturing him and Darrin burying my body beneath the soybean crops, then satisfyingly putting their hands on their hips and grinning. "Steve..." "Oh, sorry," I said. "Um, I grew up in Clayton." (Clayton is a classic Indiana town on the west side of Indianapolis composed of two things: corn and hillbillies.) "Clayton!" he exclaimed. "I bought a donkey in Clayton once." I tried to comprehend his statement. But I struggled. "Well, he did grow up on a 1,000-acre ranch in Texas," I thought to myself. "I guess a donkey makes sense...maybe?" I shot him a confused look. "You see," he said. "I wanted to do something different for my son's birthday party. Everyone gets jungle gyms and clich� stuff like that. So I decided to go on Craigslist and find a donkey for them to ride. I found one, too. It was in Clayton. Paid 100 bucks for it. Right after the party, I put it back on Craigslist." That's when I decided I had to write about the guy. Anyone that buys a donkey for 100 bucks is column-worthy. After eating at a hole-in-the-wall apple orchard-type restaurant with the best mashed potatoes and gravy in the Indianapolis area, we went back to Hunter's house, and he introduced us to one of his new band's (The Hunter Smith Band) songs. The title: 100 Dollar Donkey. Hunter, of course, was goofy as can be. But he was more than a screwball. He had a heart for God. (Prepare yourself for the first serious paragraph I've ever written in my column.) Sure, there were some funny moments on Thursday and Friday. But there were also hours upon hours of encouraging God-centered conversation. I left his house feeling wiser in the Lord and more mature in my faith. I wanted to be like him. I wanted to do things the right way. I wanted that joy, that passion, that hunger, that Christlike leadership. Overall, he taught me what it means to have genuine faith. And maybe next time I can teach him how to kill a wasp. 14 S P O R T S S P E C T R U M ~ FA L L D I G I M A G 2 0 1 1 AARON MAY / SPORTS SPECTRUM Stephen Copeland is a staff writer at Sports Spectrum magazine.

Cell line cross-contamination is a phenomenon that arises as a result of the continuous cell line culture. It has been estimated that around 20% of the cell lines are misidentified, therefore it is necessary to carry out quality control tests for the detection of this issue. Since cell line cross-contamination discovery, different methods have been applied, such as isoenzyme analysis for inter-species cross-contamination; HLA typing, and DNA fingerprinting using short tandem repeat and a variable number of tandem repeat for intra-species cross-contamination. The cell banks in this sense represent the organizations responsible for guaranteeing the authenticity of cell lines for future research and clinical uses.

This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Nothing turns heads like a nice pair of breasts. As such, you'd better hope that you don't walk past someone looking at the Big Juicy Juggs website. If you happen to see some of the site's tits from the corner of your eye, your head might just spin so quick that it snaps your neck.
Populated by a plethora of big-boobed beauties, including Faye Reagan, Jenna Presley, Sara Stone, Sierra Skye and Sophie Dee, BigJuicyJuggs is a great site for tit lovers. The chicks are all stacked and stunning, so they're a joy to watch when they're doing their thing on screen. By the way, "their thing" consists of showing off their breasts, sucking cock, fucking and getting jizzed on.
There are currently 140 videos and you can watch each of them in an embedded player. You can also download them in a few different formats, including one specifically designed for use with mobile devices. The vids aren't all of equal quality, but you can generally expect to get good-quality playback. However, there are some movies available as HD MP4s.
All but six of the flicks come with a set of high-res pictures, so there are 134 photo galleries. The pic sets really vary in size. Many consist of a mere eight images, but there are well over 200 pictures in others. Regardless, the sets can all be viewed as slideshows and downloaded in Zip files.
The website went a while without updating, but recently added four new scenes to its collection. I'm hoping that it'll keep on updating, but there's no guarantee that it will. That's why it's great to know that a membership gives you access to bonus sites from Mega Site Pass, like Brother Undercover, Cougars Crave Kittens and East Bloc Amateurs. You can also take a look at lots of extra vids and tons of additional photo sets.
With some sensational scenes, recommending Big Juicy Juggs is easy. Fans of big boobs will love what it has to offer and those with varied tastes will also appreciate the extras. Thankfully, the website's still got a lot to keep busy with even when it isn't updating.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

was a member for 2 months and none of the sites updated, not even the one I joined. the dates under the updates changed as if they had just been added but it was the same content.
It was almost funny that the most recent update never changed but did proclaim that it was just added yesterday.

A kinder, gentler American Idol premiered Wednesday night trying hard, awfully hard, to convince everyone (and itself) that's its new judges are fun (!), crazy (!) and stressing the star power of Jennifer Lopez.
"Jlo recognized me," one early contestant told the camera, sending a not-so-subtle message that Season 10 is about addition, not subtraction. The show began its post-Simon era by facing the judge shakeup head-on, with a montage of news reports about the new judges. Well, not exactly head-on. No one ever mentioned the 'C-word'. (The 'C-word 'is Cowell. Get your minds out of the gutter, people.)
PHOTOS: American Idols – Out Favorite American Bikini Babes
Within minutes it was done, Randy, that guy from Aerosmith and a smoking-hot JLo introduced, sashaying through, um, smoke.
And if you think the show's audience hasn't aged, all it took was a few chords of "Dream On" to remind us that the new judge's aren't Lady Gaga and Kanye.
EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: That's Amore! Ryan Seacrest And Julianne Hough's First Photographed Kiss
New Jersey was the setting for 90 minutes of Must-Forget TV and the first two contestants advanced (see, the show is kinder & gentler). Then we saw the usual cavalcade of oddities. Awful singing. A girl with stars on her boobs. (JLo was her childhood idol.) More forgettable contestants as Steven Tyler (the guy from Aerosmith) kindly dismissed some awful tryouts and the show made a point of featuring JLo's difficulty saying 'no.'
You could practically see the ghost of Simon hovering and smirking.

#52329 (these contestants don't deserve names) got the roughest treatment when Tyler asked him if he ate paint chips as a child. That's about as colorful as the show got. More forgettable moments followed: A girl cried. An undeserving 16-year-old from North Carolina advanced despite a wretched performance. (Wretched? That sounds like…)
At one point Tyler begged, "Please be the next American Idol," and he can be sure his boredom with the contestants – unremarkable even in their complete lack of talent – was shared by the audience.

Randy spent much of the night in the unofficial role of Head Judge but even his nine years of experience couldn't compensate for the utter lack of chemistry.
Yes, JLo looked beautiful and Tyler is a rock star from a time long, long ago with a dangling earring but Ryan seemed lost without his long-time foil.
PHOTOS: Fantasia Barrino & Married Beau Snapped Together — A Year Ago!
When Ryan wrapped things up with an awkward appearance at the judge's table Randy bravely summed up the days' auditions, saying: "Great jumpoff. We did amazing."
It appeared that even he didn't believe it.
PHOTOS: All The American Idol Winners
At best, chalk it up to the first show of Idol never offering ultra compelling material. And sure the show is bound to have drawn big numbers simply for the curiosity factor but ultimately the formula was simply another year older and one thing seems clear: only a top talent contestant – not the new judges – can reinvigorate Idol this season.
