Brunner Another European Found By The Wings
by Paul on 02/27/13 at 02:59 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Nicholas J. Cotsonika of Yahoo,
To Wings GM Ken Holland, there is a simple reason why players such as Brunner go undiscovered for so long: The NHL is the best men's league in the world, and players become men at different ages. Some are men at 18. Most grow into men later – some much later, some in out-of-the-way places.
Brunner is listed at 5-foot-11 and 184 pounds. Now. How much smaller was he at draft age? And how many scouts saw him playing in Switzerland? And who could project how he would develop in the Swiss league, let alone how he would play in the NHL one day?
Consider how all this came together. The Wings didn't know about Brunner until Holland received a tip over email.
He went way back with a guy named Stacy Roest. Holland knew him from the Medicine Hat Tigers, when Roest was playing in junior and Holland was scouting in western Canada. He had signed Roest to his first pro contract and later promoted him to the NHL. They live on the same British Columbia lake in the offseason.

The Health Of The Wings

Paul here for George as he waits for his laptop to be fixed. Maybe later today or tomorrow is the estimated time.
from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,
Every visit to a doctor keeps yielding the same information: Detroit Red Wings forward Darren Helm just needs time to heal from his back injury.
Helm hasn't played hockey in a month, hasn't even skated in that time, hasn't so much as worked out. He went to see another specialist Monday in New York, and the diagnosis remains the same.
"It's a strained ligament," general manager Ken Holland told the Free Press today. "Darren is very frustrated, and we are, too. It's not healing as fast as we'd hoped, but we have to make sure we're conservative. It was important to get another opinion.
"Every test has been negative; there's no damage. So we just have to be patient. The doctor gave him some different pain medication to help speed the healing process, but it's a slow process."

from Chuck Pleiness of Red Wings Front,
Darren Helm saw a back specialist in New York on Monday, who thinks he may have seen something different on the MRI.
"He gave him some medication," Holland said. "We're going to see where he's at 4-5 days. When we're back in town we'll see how he's responded to the medication, Friday or Saturday."

added 4:26pm,
Detroit, MI…Detroit Red Wings Executive Vice President/General Manager Ken Holland today announced that defensemen Brian Lashoff has been re-signed to a three-year contract through the 2015-16 season. In keeping with club policy, additional terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Lashoff's Detroit totals include his first career goal in his first NHL game during Detroit's season-opener at St. Louis on Jan. 19, 2013 along with two assists for three points and four PIMs. In Grand Rapids this season, he tallied six points (2G-4A) in addition to 23 penalty minutes and a plus/minus rating of +4.

Red Wings overnight report: on realignment, Helm's back and Brunner
by George Malik on 02/25/13 at 05:24 AM ET
Comments (15)
I'm going to start an entry I wouldn't normally write with a set of announcements I normally wouldn't state:
1. I may or may not split up recaps and overnight reports from now on, depending on your feedback. I've done so for the Wings-Predators and now the Wings-Canucks games simply because there's so much going on during the weekends in terms of notes, quotes and prospect news that I run out of room, especially on back-to-back nights, so this seems a little less unwieldy;
2. And I may or may not take part or all of Monday off. I'd been planning on taking half of Monday off because my trusty laptop's left monitor joint fell victim to a loose screw that disappeared, and I need to get that replaced. The laptop's hard drive is also starting to sound a little unhappy, however, and as all I've got at present is this laptop, if there's an issue with the hard drive that involves more than me simply applying too much pressure to steady the off-balance laptop with my left hand, then Paul may have to fill in with short-form stuff for all of Monday.
The Wings don't practice today; they'll fly out West on Red Bird III to face the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday and the San Jose Sharks on Thursday. The team then heads back to the Joe to tangle with Chicago, as DetroitRedWings.com's Bill Roose notes in his "This Week in Hockeytown" article...

Red Wings-Canucks wrap-up: Brunner and Wings' power play power comeback against angry Canucks
by George Malik on 02/25/13 at 03:43 AM ET
Comments (3)
The Detroit Red Wings' consecutive wins over Nashville and Vancouver this past weekend broke an 0-3-and-2 slump--with the Wings' 8-3 trouncing--and comeback win--over the Canucks serving as something of an exclamation point...
But Hockeytown's approval is fleeting these days, and there was a sense online, anyway, that as much fun as the Wings had watching the Wings rally from a 3-2 1st period deficit, the Wings' wins have essentially allowed them to claw back into the thick of things in the Western Conference, where they sit in 5th place, but 5 points out of 12th place, and the prevailing theory seems to be that if the Wings don't build upon their superb weekend, both Detroit and its jittery fans could be back in a whole lot of trouble very soon.
Thankfully, the Wings don't have to worry about that sort of thing--they're too busy playing, and won't skate today but will board Red Bird II to fly out to Los Angeles, where they'll play the Kings on Wednesday and then head to San Jose to play the Sharks on Thursday, all before heading home to play the unbeaten-in-regulation Blackhawks on Sunday, March 3rd.

How exactly will a 'challenge flag' work? Red Wings GM Ken Holland wants to know
by George Malik on 02/25/13 at 02:17 AM ET
Comments (1)
Consider this issue 1B to the 1A that is realignment in terms of the kinds of stories that get hockey fans and hockey scribes talking. The Globe and Mail's David Shoalts reports that many NHL executives and several GM's are actually interested in discussing the nuts and bolts of a "challenge flag" three years after Florida Panthers GM Dale Tallon unsuccessfully lobbied for in 2010.
When the NHL's general managers meet on March 21st--and Shoalts says that they're meeting in Toronto instead of Palm Beach this time around--a general manager who's particularly interested but has yet to make specific comments about the Wings' possible move to the East told Shoalts that he'll seriously consider the concept of a "challenge flag," but only under certain circumstances:
"I'm more open than I was when Dale Tallon brought it up," Detroit Red Wings GM Ken Holland said Sunday. "The big thing in our game is goals, so we have to try to make sure goals are right, that we're not scoring goals on offsides or maybe goalie interference."
Tallon, who made his proposal shortly after his team lost a game to the Toronto Maple Leafs when forward Colton Orr knocked down Panthers' goaltender Scott Clemmensen and put the puck in off his skate, saw his argument boosted last week by Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Duchene. He was offside by a metre when he scored to help the Avalanche beat the Nashville Predators.

My reservation was for one superior suite balcony. We arrived at 11am. and told us to wait. At 1:30 pm the receptionist decided to accommodate on the 6th floor in a room with two beds and a toilet. I asked where the balcony and why am I getting room, not a studio. The answer was - the hotel is full and no free studio. But I paid full price months in advance and want to get it for what I paid-Suite with kitchenette. Why do you ask me kitchenette said receptionist. To eat I said. I felt that I could not overpower the stubbornness of this man and for the first time in my life I resorted to an extreme measure and I said that I would call Venere.com to find out why I sold the suite and paid a month ago and has not been saved for me. Then the receptionist said tath we have to wait to 3 pm.In the book was written check in - 2pm.Then he accomodate us in suit without kitchenette. For a rematch they brought very dirty microwave and later they brought another cleaner and they don't left us in peace until the evening. We had no utensils, plates cups, stove nothing. The most terrible was that the time of registration, he asked the passport and my credit card. I said that everything is paid , but he insisted and when I handed he put on the copy machine and copy it.I block the card and now have to issue me a new one. This cost me money it takes time and inconvenience. Location is very good. The breakfast is poor.

We had a suite at a discounted price, so the value was ok for us. Nice breakfast that you take in a room with a view on the garden. But the rooms could certainly be cleaner. The location is ok because the tram going to the center is really only 5 min away, and it takes only two stations (5 min). If you come with a car, it cost 20 dollars per day to park the car at the hotel. There are no other parking available around.

The first USS Reno (DD-303) was a Clemson-class destroyer in the United States Navy following World War I. She was named for Walter E. Reno.
Reno was laid down by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation, Union Iron Works, San Francisco, 4 July 1918; launched 22 January 1919; sponsored by Miss Kathryn Baldwin Anderson, daughter of former Lieutenant Governor of California Alden Anderson,[1] and commissioned 23 July 1920. Reno's mother, Mrs. L. D. Reno, of Eldon, Iowa was approached to sponsor the ship, but declined due to her health. Reno's widow, Beatrice Tracy Reno, daughter of former assistant secretary of the Navy Frank Tracy, was also considered as a potential sponsor.[2]
Attached to the Pacific Fleet, Reno operated along the west coast until January 1921 when she joined other fleet units in a cruise to Valparaíso, Chile. Resuming west coast operations on her return, she ranged between Washington and Lower California, with occasional runs to Hawaii or the Panama Canal Zone. In April 1927 she came as far east as Guantanamo, Cuba, and in July of that year she was at Prince Rupert, British Columbia, to participate in the celebrations of the Canadian Diamond Jubilee.
Decommissioned at San Diego 18 January 1930, Reno was struck from the Navy list 8 July 1930. She was scrapped in 1931, in accordance with the terms of the London Treaty limiting naval armament.

LUMBERTON — After 15 years and more than 200 stories, Robeson Remembers has reached its final chapter.
Today's entry marks the end of the series, which first appeared in the pages of The Robesonian in September 1999. The project was the brainchild of Helen Sharpe, a former reporter and publisher of the newspaper who is, appropriately enough, the subject of its last installment.
Sharpe, 87, cited her advanced age as one of the reasons she's decided to end the series.
Several volunteer writers have contributed to Robeson Remembers since the series launched, and some have won awards from the North Carolina Society of Historians for their work. Frequent contributors include Bob Horne, Jackie Utz, Nell Lyons, Karen Van Zant and the Rev. Nash Odom.
Under Sharpe's direction, the series grew into a veritable time capsule of notable people, places and events that have shaped Robeson County.
"I am genuinely saddened to see Robeson Remembers coming to an end, although I understand completely why it has to. I remember when Mrs. Sharpe asked us about the possibility of using The Robesonian as a vehicle to get these wonderful stories out, and it was a win-win for us," said Donnie Douglas, editor of The Robesonian. "They did the heavy lifting, and we simply placed it in the newspaper."
Though many readers will miss receiving their monthly dose of history, they may find some solace in knowing that Robeson Remembers won't be lost to the sands of time. Two collections of stories from the series have been published and are available for purchase at the Robeson County Museum in downtown Lumberton.
"I appreciate their determined efforts over the last 15 years, and I am sure our readers will miss this feature as much as I do," Douglas said. "But at least we have some wonderful information archived for future generations."

Dish Network to close Blockbuster US storesBy MICHAEL LIEDTKE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | November 07,2013AP FILE PHOTO
This March 2010 photo, shows a closing Blockbuster store in Wisconsin. Dish Network announced Wednesday it will close the remaining 300 Blockbuster locations scattered across the United StatesSAN FRANCISCO The final curtain is falling on the remaining Blockbuster video-rental stores that Dish Network Corp. runs in the U.S.
The closures announced Wednesday will affect about 300 Blockbuster locations scattered around the country.
As part of Dish Networks retreat, Blockbusters DVD-by-mail service is also shutting down next month.
About 2,800 people who work in Blockbusters stores and DVD distribution centers will lose their jobs, according to Dish Network.
The cost-cutting measures culminate a Blockbuster downfall that began a decade ago with the rise of Netflixs DVD-by-mail service, followed by the introduction of a subscription service that streams video over high-speed Internet connections.
This is not an easy decision, yet consumer demand is clearly moving to digital distribution of video entertainment, Dish Network CEO Joseph Clayton said in a statement.
The shift has been a boon for Netflix Inc., which now boasts 31 million subscribers to its Internet video service and another 7.1 million DVD-by-mail customers.
The companys success has minted Netflix with a market value of $20 billion.
But Blockbuster absorbed huge losses.
It closed thousands of its stores before landing in bankruptcy court three years ago.
Dish Network bought Blockbusters remnants for about $234 million in 2011 and then tried to mount a challenge to Netflix.
But Dish Network couldnt wring a profit from Blockbuster either, prompting even more store closures.
The Englewood, Colo., satellite-TV provider had already closed about 500 Blockbuster stores this year.
The latest closures, scheduled to be completed by early January, will leave the U.S. with just 50 Blockbuster stores operating under franchise agreements.
The chains near extinction serves as another stark reminder of how quickly technology can reshape industries.
Just a decade ago, Blockbuster reigned as one of the countrys most ubiquitous retailers with 9,100 stores in the U.S.
Dish Network is trying to keep the Blockbuster brand alive through an Internet video-streaming service that rents movies and TV shows by title, for a set viewing time.
Blockbuster suffered an operating loss of $35 million on revenue of $1.1 billion last year and posted an operating loss of $4 million during the first half of this year, according to regulatory filings.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON Average long-term U.S. Full StoryATLANTIC CITY, N.J.

During client machine LU request from EPMC in LU log appear error "Account launching LiveUpdate is not a logged in user's account" and no LU is performed. LU is trying to access Symantec Web site.

This past year there where several groups and individuals whom decided to push themselves creatively by either presenting a daily artistic inspiration, resource file or tutorial. I've seen items such as the Ark Project and the Black Rock Collective Card set where artists came together to create really incredible artistic endeavors.
I think that those who got involved benefited from these projects in many ways.
I was wondering what the authors here are going to do in 2011 creatively? I'm also wondering if anyone else would like to pull together and contribute to some form of group effort that would allow us to grow as artists in our respective areas?Some ideas
- Weekly theme (similar to Illustration Friday)
- Collective work based on a single theme (The Ark Project, skate decks, UI components, Mimis, icons, etc.)
- Sketch Bomb – Just pencil and paper illustrations
- Pass-around – Basically One person creates a project and then the next person takes that project and is inspired or builds on it and passes it to the next and so on. Similar to the group wallpaper we did a while ago.
- Envato Illustrators Collective – We all create assets together and sell as a single file and/or package in the marketplace.
These are just some quick thoughts. I'm wondering what if any the interest might be?

Thursday December 8, 2011
By SHARMILLA GANESAN firstname.lastname@example.com
Skincare companies now use social media to create a community and connect with customers.
NOT so long ago, the most important beauty device a woman could carry around in her handbag was a compact mirror. These days, however, you're just as likely to see her whip out a mobile device; not just to send a text, but for beauty advice or ideas.
In our increasingly wired world, it was only a matter of time before beauty companies caught on to social media. More beauty brands are using new technology, not just as a way to keep in touch with their customers, but to create a community. With Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and phone apps, they are allowing consumers to engage and create experiences with their brands.
The main advantage? Unprecedented interactivity.
Kal Joffres, director of social media consultancy Tandemic, points out that social media offers a way to connect directly with the intended audience.
"With newspapers or television, you have no way of knowing who is on the other side," says Joffres. "Social media allows you to communicate with people as individuals, as you can e-mail or Tweet them. It also enables you to bring these individuals together in a common space to accomplish something, such as sharing tips on innovative approaches to beauty. More significantly, social media communities can be an opportunity to connect with like-minded people who share the same interests or goals as you."
For most brands, a Facebook page has become a necessity. The Body Shop Malaysia, for instance, which has over 60,000 followers on the social networking site, uses its Facebook page to share information on products and promotions, communicate with fans, and offer exclusive contests and giveaways. The brand also used its Facebook page to collect petition signatures for a recent campaign to stop human trafficking.
Estee Lauder Malaysia lets its followers virtually experience their products with various Facebook apps. For example, there's a game that predicts your mood based on the Estee Lauder lipstick shade you choose. Its page, which currently has almost 29,000 fans, also features exclusive content such as how-to videos, skincare and make-up tips, and exclusive samples.
Estee Lauder Malaysia's senior communications manager Jean Loh says social media has opened up a whole new way for the brand to engage with consumers on a more personal level.
"Social media gives us more direct interaction with our consumers. They can instantly interact with the brand and share comments, feedback, questions, get advice and learn about new products. It is one of the most effective tools used to send out brand messages and information, which generates almost immediate response," adds Loh.
M.A.C Cosmetics Malaysia's senior marketing manager Angeline Foo agrees, adding that its various social media platforms make interactions with customers more believable and experiential.
"Social media is important because it's not only cost-effective, but immediate, interactive, vibrant, dynamic and viral," she says. M.A.C, which uses Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to share product information, beauty trends, video tutorials and "backstage experiences", is touted globally to be one of the most successful beauty brands on social media (its international Facebook page has over two million followers).
By actively responding to its Facebook fans and creating exclusive offers for them – such as a special makeover campaign – M.A.C has managed to create a strong community of followers and users.
Skincare giant L'Oreal Paris also connects with its customers by giving away exclusive freebies and featuring its latest products, beauty tips and games via Facebook and Twitter. Additionally, their Facebook page is constantly updated with inspiring quotes and photos of their brand ambassadors.
The hottest new thing when it comes to beauty brands, of course, is mobile phone applications or apps.
As more and more consumers use smartphones with customisable apps, beauty companies too are coming up with innovative ways in which they can use this new platform.
Beauty retailer Sephora is one such example. Touted as one of the best beauty apps for the iPhone and iPad, the Sephora To Go app allows users to browse and buy products, track launches, read product reviews, locate stores with GPS and look up previous purchases. Particularly attractive is its "Scan" feature that lets the user scan a product in store to access information, videos and reviews.
Another fun feature of the app is the Virtual Polish Change, that lets users virtually try on different nail colours.
Fashion and beauty brand Dior offers an iPhone/iPad app that gives users ample opportunity to both interact and get added value from its products. The app features the latest news from the brand, including newest collections, trends and sneak previews.
Under its Make-Up section, Dior beauty product users are given a handy guide in the form of step-by-step instructions and video tutorials, and expert advice from Dior's make-up artists.
The Skincare feature provides an ultra-personalised experience, which introduces various regimens using Dior products depending on skin types and needs, and even has details on ingredients and how they work. Finally, the app provides a fun touch by letting users download wallpapers of Dior products along with brand ambassadors like Jude Law and Marion Cotillard.
Stila's Get the Look app for iPhones and iPads lets you have fun with its eyeshadow palette, by providing a colour wheel to create the perfect colour combination for your skin type. There are also how-to instructions from Stila make-up artists on all products, and a shopping list that you can create as you try out looks, to later purchasing products directly with the app.
Ultimately, the consumer is given more access to information and choices on how they can access it.
"The experience that can be delivered through social media and web is much richer than traditional media," points out Joffres. "Consumers can explore as much or as little content as they like, and they can explore it in photos, or text, or video. There is no need for one-size-fits-all."
Tivien Gan, Clinique Malaysia's manager of CRM (customer relation management) and new media, agrees, explaining that its Facebook page and iPhone app lets the company carry out its campaigns in a more focused and personalised way.
"With easily accessible Internet connectivity and the increase in smartphone usage, we are able to offer our customers a completely new experience. Product information is more personalised, and campaigns are more targeted towards various segments," she says.
Clinique's Facebook page, for instance, not only provides beauty tips, but also runs polls and surveys to suss out their fans' opinions. It also offers exclusive giveaways and promotions.
The Clinique iPhone app, on the other hand, is a handy and practical one that gives you real-time weather, UV and pollution information, in order to help you protect your skin accordingly with its skincare products.
Gan emphasises that the ease of communication with their customers is one of the main advantages of using social media.
"'Over the counter information is faster, and the reach over a short period of time is phenomenal. Imagine receiving over 34,000 replies about a new product within an hour, or executing a promotion in a single day! These allow us a more personal touch with our customers, and to understand their needs better."
Interestingly, most beauty companies view social media as more of a platform to build a community of followers, rather than an "advertising" medium. This ties in with the general perception of social media platforms as being more personal compared with traditional media outlets.
"The hard-sell approach to social media doesn't work very well," says Joffres. "In many cases, brands gain the most benefit from social media by offering consumers something value-added or a product for free, like interesting content or special discounts. Self-taught make-up artist Lauren Luke, for example, built a huge fan base by providing her fans with YouTube videos on make-up tips for free. She's now able to sell her fans her own brand of make-up, simply because she didn't start off trying to sell them something."
It's easy to get carried away with the virtual world, but it all boils down to that human touch. What's important when it comes to maintaining a positive social media relationship, says Joffres, is that continued personal attention.
"Brands need to find a voice. We're accustomed to communicating with real people, so brands need to have a personality to sound genuine, like real people.
"More importantly, they need to find something that their audience is really passionate about and communicate that, and social media provides a personalised, targeted way of doingit," he concludes.

Black Bear set to be let loose in Oxford
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
Much to the chagrin of a certain vocal minority of Ole Miss fans , there is going to be no last minute reprieve for Colonel Reb, no last-ditch intervention to keep the sidelines of Rebel sporting events "Rebel Black Bear"-free. Courtesy of Rebel blog Red Cup Rebellion , the indisputable photographic evidence:
Initial impression: when the school released that initial sketch of the Rebel Black Bear, they certainly weren't trying to misrepresent the final product. It's a fine mascot, one that will require far less explanation to small children than some other bears we could name. (No offense or anything, Oski.)
But it's still hard to see the real thing in the synthetic flesh and not wonder about what could have been .

"Colonel Reb Foundation" puts up billboard
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
You've probably gotten the message by now: a certain noisy faction of Ole Miss fans are not happy about the removal of less-than-P.C. mascot Colonel Reb from the school's sidelines and logo, and they're going to make sure their voices are heard regardless of what their school's administration (and a likely majority of their fans) would want.
But just in case you haven't, the "Colonel Reb Foundation " (and their not-at-all hyperbolic URL saveolemiss.com ) is here to make certain you have. Once more, gents, with feeling:
In case you can't see the top billboard there (up now in Oxford), here's what it looks like up close:
So that's subtle. By visiting the Foundation's site, you can also download a Colonel Reb "Truth Kit " (PDF) and that the Colonel is (presumably) less racially insensitive for being a whitewashed version of an early-20th century African-American Oxford resident. (Yes, less.)
As for what the Foundation will actually accomplish, other than publicly continuing to rub the university's face in its racist past despite its desperate attempts to leave that past behind? Nothing. But as we're all learning, that's not going to stop this particular faction of Ole Miss fans anytime soon.

Bill attempts to bring back 'Colonel Reb' by law
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
Given how closely the culture of college football is intertwined with the modern Deep South, and how protective of certain (ahem) aspects of that culture certain (ahem) fans can be, it was probably only a matter of time before someone in the Mississippi state legislature came up with this idea :
Just when most talk of black bears and rebels had started to settle, state Rep. Mark Duvall , D-Mantachic, appears to be taking a legislative approach to the Ole Miss mascot debacle.Before we all start in on another round of laughter at the expense of Ole Miss and their confused political priorities, we should point out that 1. no one believes this bill has any chance of passing 2. the university has taken great pains in recent years to disassociate itself from its former "Old South" imagery, and no doubt doesn't appreciate the attempt to force it to re-embrace it 3. on that point, it's possible (if not at all likely) that this is in fact a highly elaborate smear job on the part of Duvall, a Mississippi State grad who no doubt appreciates the perpetuation of Ole Miss's reputation for racism at a time when his school could be battling the Rebels for recruits.
All that said, we don't remember the state legislature of Illinois stepping in to try and save Chief Illiniwek, either. This is all the more reason Ole Miss should have gone with Admiral Ackbar; no one's going to argue you're stuck in the past when your mascot is a catfish from the future, are they?

Video: Mike shows Ole Miss what they're missing
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
Ole Miss , you'll recall, went searching for a new mascot this season (after parting ways with the notorious Colonel Reb a little while back), eventually settling on the Rebel Black Bear. But unless the Rebels bother to bring in an actual, live black bear from parts distant and unknown, they'll have a ways to go to match up to the effort being made by their LSU opponents today, as this video illustrating the life of Riley led by LSU's Mike the Tiger makes clear:
Following LSU's example and hosting the bear wouldn't just make Ole Miss that much cooler; it might have some benefits on the football field, at least if LSU's intimidating home-field advantage at Tiger Stadium is any indication. The Tigers lead 10-7 midway through the first. And Mike approves.

Rebel fans plan statue of Colonel Reb
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
For most of us, Ole Miss 's quixotic search for a mascot to replace the outdated Colonel Reb -- and the delightful groundswell of support for a Star Wars character best described as "obscure" anywhere but the Internet to take over the job -- has been an amusing diversion at worst and downright endearing at its (Ackbarian) best. Even the eventual choice of the most generic, unMississippi mascot possible couldn't entirely take off the shine fron the neutral perspective.
But it's not surprising that from the perspective of Rebel fans themselves, this decision was something much more important. And this being a politically-loaded decision in the Deep South, it's unfortunately not surprising that the decision was something much, much, much more important to a particular subset of those fans. Important enough to sever and ties with the university and defiantly build a memorial statue of the deposed Colonel Reb? As the Ole Miss student paper the Daily Mississippian reports, yes, most definitely that important :
Speculation has arisen that a group of Ole Miss alumni seeks to erect a statue of Colonel Reb in Oxford in light of the recent decision by the Mascot Selection Committee.It's not just the, ahem, gallantry-focused alumni that believe a couple tons' worth of concrete antebellum gentleman is a great idea; the two Ole Miss students quoted in the article offer the project its unqualified support as well.
But no matter how much alumni, student, or black bear support the statue accumulates, it's not likely to ever come to fruition. As the story reports:
One member of the Board of Aldermen said that Boyd's idea of erecting a statue is too controversial to discuss at this time. Furthermore, before the statue could be erected, it would have to be discussed, planned and approved by the city.The odds of Oxford discussing, planning, and approving a Colonel Reb statue are probably longer than for an Admiral Ackbar statue, I'm guessing. Fairest Boyd may be entirely correct that such a statue would be "the next wonder of the world," but Ole Miss has worked too hard to rehabilitate its Old South image -- in spite of the efforts of the Fairest Boyds of the world -- for that wonder to ever become reality.

Insane Predictions, Week 7
Posted by the College Football Blog Staff
Every season, every month, every week, there are several outcomes and achievements that, frankly, nobody operating within reason would ever predict. Who could have predicted Nebraska would beat Florida for the 1995 title by 38 points, or that Boise State would pull off three late trick plays to knock off Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, or that Les Miles would look like the endgame genius against Urban Meyer and Florida? Nobody... until now. We're going to try capture that lightning in a bottle by making similarly absurd predictions every week. Are they at all likely to come true? No. Do we even believe the words we're writing? No. But if we make even one correct call on these, we will never stop gloating. Ever.
Highly Unlikely
Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore sprains his knee when he trips while running onto the field during pregame ceremonies, and all of a sudden, the Broncos must face San Jose State with a brand new quarterback. Boise coach Chris Peterson blames San Jose State and their groundskeeping for the mishap, and feeling untold amounts of shame, SJSU coach Mike MacIntyre forfeits the game. Moore recovers fully for the Broncos' next game, and Boise's march to a 12-0 regular season continues unabated. -- Adam Jacobi
As the closing seconds count down on the scoreboard at Ross-Ade Stadium, Tim Brewster looks up at it to see the final score: Purdue 37, Minnesota 13. Knowing that these are probably the last few seconds that he'll spend on a sideline COMPETING and FIGHTING with the Gophers, his emotions get the best of him. Danny Hope begins to make his way to midfield to meet the coach, but instead Brewster bursts into tears and sprints off the field. He then hides in a supply room deep within the bowels of the stadium, refusing to come out until eventually Minnesota AD Joel Maturi lures him out by promising he's not going to fire him. Brewster then opens the door and comes out, his face red and blotchy, covered in tears. "Really?" he asks Maturi. "No, you're totally fired," says Maturi before kicking him in the groin. -- Tom Fornelli
Arizona's slide continues after falling to Oregon State despite getting some help from the replay officials. This time, facing Washington State, the home officials give the Wildcats a taste of their own medicine and refuse to replay a game-winning touchdown that was actually an incomplete pass. Mike Stoops has no timeouts, and the Cougars quickly kick the extra point to pick up that elusive first conference win. It is later revealed that the replay official was Washington State alumnus Drew Bledsoe, who emerges from the booth in full Wazzu regalia and facepaint. The Pac-10 finds no fault in this. -- Chip Patterson
Severely Unlikely
With Texas trailing Nebraska 24-7 just before halftime, Mack Brown makes his way over to Colt McCoy who is watching the game from the sidelines. "Listen, I need you to come to the locker room at halftime. Give these boys a pep talk." McCoy agrees, but Brown was lying. Instead Brown locks Garrett Gilbert in a shed -- hey, it's popular in Texas -- and convinces McCoy to put on Gilbert's uniform. McCoy then goes out and leads Texas to a comeback victory, finding James Kirkendoll for the game-winning touchdown with, you guessed it, one second left on the clock. -- Tom Fornelli
Michigan's defense pitches a shut out against Iowa. The Big House rocks as Denard Robinson totals 600 total yards of offense and the Wolverines bounce back from the loss to "Little Brother" with a performance for the ages as the Wolverines reclaim a spot in the Top 25 with a 48-0 win over the Hawkeyes. Adrian Clayborn, struck with grief, eats 400 cheeseburgers on the ride home and gives up on the NFL for a career in the lawn and garden industry. Turns out Clayborn is quite the green thumb. -- Chip Patterson
The Kansas football team shows up to an empty Memorial Stadium in Lawrence. Head coach Turner Gill and his Jayhawks were under the impression that their game would be played on Saturday, and thanks to various elaborate pranks by Kansas State fans, they had no idea that they had been scheduled to play on Thursday night. KSU coaches, upon finding out that Kansas had not appeared for the game, dressed their scout team in KU colors and had them put up token opposition. Somehow, they also had a scout team Turner Gill. The garbage-time touchdown Kansas State allowed to its double agents was a sublime touch. -- Adam Jacobi
Completely Ludicrous
McNeese State trots into Death Valley on Saturday night and shines under the lights. LSU quarterbacks Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson combine for an NCAA-record 11 interceptions, five of which are returned for touchdowns. The other six picks are hideous arm-punts that prevent the Tigers from finding the end zone once. Patrick Peterson returns 4 kick offs for touchdowns, but LSU falls 35-28. -- Chip Patterson
Emboldened by reports that he was coaching with his job on the line, Tim Brewster leads his team to an emotional 35-34 victory over a frisky Purdue squad... then rips off five more wins to finish the season, culminating in a 55-0 revenge win over Kirk Ferentz and the Iowa Hawkeyes at TCF Bank Stadium. Minnesota's 7-5 (6-2) record and a host of other conference losses among the rest of the Big Ten vault the Gophers into the Rose Bowl, making them the first five-loss team to earn a trip to Pasadena. A month before the game, Brewster announces that he's leaving the Gophers to coach his beloved Texas Longhorns; Mack Brown has retired, as expected, but the program was stunned when defensive coordinator (and presumptive next head coach) Will Muschamp pulled a simultaneous "sympathy retirement." The Gophers hire Mike Leach on the spot, and the new Pirate Gophers stun Oregon on January 1st, 45-31. -- Adam Jacobi
There's nothing out of the ordinary taking place in Tuscaloosa on Saturday night. It's early in the fourth quarter and the Alabama Crimson Tide have a healthy 24-6 lead over the Rebels, but then suddenly a bright, white light can be seen in the sky. Those who notice it assume that it's a comet or meteor passing by the planet, but it keeps getting bigger and bigger before everyone suddenly realizes it's coming right for them. As it gets closer, it becomes clear that it is some kind of UFO, in fact, the space ship actually looks like a piece of fried calamari. It lands at the 50-yard line, and out comes Admiral Ackbar. Knowing immediately what's taking place, the new Ole Miss mascot makes a break for it before he is apprehended by members of the Rebel Alliance. The Rebel Alliance then holds a trial on the field, determining whether or not the Bear shall live. This does not please Nick Saban. After a few minutes Saban walks briskly up to Admiral Ackbar, takes his gun, and executes the Bear himself before saying, "There. NOW GET THE HELL OFF OF MY FIELD." Ackbar and his soldiers sheepishly retreat to their ship and take off. Not even the Rebel Alliance wants to mess with Nick Saban. -- Tom Fornelli

Reactions from the Ole Miss mascot announcement
Posted by Chip Patterson, Illustrated by Tom Fornelli
Well, it is official: Ole Miss has selected their new sideline mascot. After seven years of debate, the "Rebel Black Bear" won 62 percent of the vote in a poll of more than 13,000 students, faculty, alumni, and fans. The "Rebel Black Bear" beat out the other two finalists, the "Rebel Land Shark" and "Hotty Toddy."
When we first told you about the three finalists for the new Ole Miss sideline prowler, we openly admitted that we were hoping that by some miracle Admiral Ackbar would somehow work a way into the new mascot. It was a longshot dream, with chances not much bigger than womp rats I used to bullseye in my T-16 back home. Admiral Ackbar is a strong and steadfast leader, but has a tendency to kind of freak out from time to time .
Here was the initial prediction of Ackbar's sentiments towards the Rebel Black Bear.
Now, I realize that your first thought is, "Wait a second, Ackbar couldn't shoot lasers out of his eyes!" Or maybe, "Holy crap Chip, you are a nerd." Regardless, Ackbar never was never documented shooting lasers out of his eyes; but his time on screen was limited and much of his private life is untouched by Star Wars lore. Still, we do know that Ackbar has an entire fleet of Calamari cruisers at his dispense, and they are all well equipped with lasers.
But thanks to the tweet of Ramzy Nasrallah , the conspiracy theorists of the mascot world (all seven of us) can remain hopeful that there is a master plan in place. Hopefully the selection of the bear has very little to do with the actual characteristics, but instead is a hint for the ultimate reveal.
Ah ha! Now we finally understand what is going on down in Oxford. After getting their cover blown by ESPN, the true Admiral Ackbar movement had to go underground and disguise itself as the Rebel Black Bear. He may wear slacks in the Grove, but do not be shocked if the furry mammal is a cover up for one of the leaders of the Rebel Alliance.
The only member of the SEC truly enraged by the announcement is UGA VIII, who's arrival on the Georgia sidelines has now been upstaged by this fishy business in Oxford.
So what does UGA VIII think of the new Ole Miss mascot?

Ole Miss releases mascot designs for vote
Posted by Chip Patterson
Sadly, the movement for Admiral Ackbar as Ole Miss' new sideline prowler was shut down after a powerful student movement, and now we must look at other options that will not be trademarked by Lucasfilm. It's true that the leader of the Calamari star fleet would have served as an intimidating figure for the Rebels, lurking on the sideline carefully watching the game through his oversized squid-eyes. Just imagine how useful he could be for fake punts and other trick plays, with the ability to inform head coach Houston Nutt that "It's A Trap!"
But the voting opens today for the Ole Miss community to voice their preferences on the new mascot. The vote will not ultimately determine the selection, though this is the most democratic step in the decision process. The student-run mascot selection committee has narrowed it down to these three candidates.

I deleted my Facebook page today. I had 130 "friends," a paltry figure by social networking standards. Now I have half a dozen actual friends, though only one of them is on Facebook.
I didn't even know 100 of the people on my list of friends. I wound up being "friends" with former bosses, co-workers, girlfriends, girl friends of girlfriends. Every time I logged on there was either a photo of someone I don't know staring back at me coupled with a photograph of what they ate for lunch or their favorite Black Flag album.
What's worse, it was making my actual relationships suffer. People use Facebook as a substitute for human-on-human contact. It's not. You don't communicate on Facebook. You "interface." It's an ersatz relationship. Real, actual relationships are moot, obsolete, replaced. I have personally experienced Facebook used as a passive-aggressive weapon in a silent war, a use I doubt its creators intended.
You don't communicate on Facebook. You "interface."
Getting rid of Facebook wasn't as simple as I'd hoped.
When I tried to delete my account, three photos of "friends" sprang onto the screen with the caption reading "[so and so] will miss you!" Since I am not on speaking terms with two of the people mentioned, I was fairly certain that Facebook was lying to me or completely in the dark.
I hit continue, as I wasn't going to be guilted by a soulless machine. It required a reason why. I typed in "I just don't want it anymore."
It wants to exist and needs me, even if I am just an insignificant cog in its vast machinery.
Fine, it didn't really say or do that. But Facebook, though a certified and bonded entity, lacks any empathy. It wants to exist and needs me, even if I am just an insignificant cog in its vast machinery.
Moments after freeing myself from these e-chains, I received an email that said I can come back whenever I want. Stop toying with me, Facebook. Crack dealers aren't this persistent.
Life is complicated, hard, lame, unbearable, taking forever, beautiful. I too am most of these things. I can't have realities this complex boiled down to photos, other people's music and art, and one-line entries about where I'm at, what I'm doing and what sports team/
The Internet is certainly not going anywhere. And I don't want it to. The free music is awesome, and being able to instantly look anything up on Google is boss. It's magic time. Blogs, for better or worse, at least add something to the discussion.
But as it stands, the Internet is flooded with "what I ate for lunch." Facebook and its cokehead cousin, Twitter, are dreck. If aliens were to monitor our communications, they would surely surmise that we are idiots and signal the main invasion force. Fortunately, we have destroyed the planet with our other addiction, gasoline. There shall be no such invasion.
For now, I have partially cast myself into the darkness. Let me offer my hope for a mass rejection of this false reality that sprung from the mind of a socially awkward Harvard student, this strange new world in which interfacing replaces actually talking to another person. Science-fiction writers predicted a lot of these technological advances. Let me pose the question: Have you ever noticed how the future usually sucks in science-fiction stories?

Endangered Species of the American South
The New South Democrats' response to this sea change has been a tepid stew of moderate issues designed to attract suburban swing voters. They might offer heartfelt tributes to Martin Luther King Jr. in one black church after another, but their message is tailored to sway nonideological whites. "They spend 95 percent of the time trying to sway white moderates and even conservatives," says Willie Legette, a longtime progressive activist who teaches politics at South Carolina State University. "There's only one message the Democrats have been sending loud and clear: 'We're no longer the party concerned with reducing racial and class inequalities.' They're battling to show that they will further the interests of white people who already vote."
When the Republicans nominate a dud--like Senator Lauch Faircloth, the pallid Jesse Helms wannabe dispatched by Edwards in '98--the strategy can work. New South Democrats have pulled off occasional victories by bringing out a decent black vote and "convincing conventional voters that a particular Republican is the bogyman," Legette says. "But they don't offer anything positive, especially for working-class voters who are supposed to be the party's base."
Even if Edwards, Senator Bob Graham or Wesley Clark can conjure up a way to win South Carolina next February 3, their species--New South Democrats--will still be as doomed and outmoded as its Republican predecessor four decades back. While the Republicans continue to build on their strength in the South, the Democrats continue to fade into irrelevance. They need fresh ideas. They need--bizarre as it sounds--a Barry Goldwater.
The day before the 1964 presidential election, the insurgent Republican senator from Arizona chose to make his final campaign stop in Columbia, South Carolina. Matched against a popular President leading the ticket of America's dominant party, Goldwater knew he stood no chance of winning the election. Instead, he stood at a podium in the heart of Dixie, flanked by Strom Thurmond and other prominent segregationists, culminating his unlikely campaign to breathe life into the Southern GOP.
Though the results the next day looked disastrous--Lyndon Johnson racked up the largest percentage of the popular vote in American history--Goldwater broke through in five Southern states. He did it not only by nodding and winking at racists like Thurmond, but by embracing something that Southerners had felt in their guts since long before the Civil War: distrust of the federal government. "Forced integration," Goldwater liked to tell his admirers in Dixie, "is just as wrong as forced segregation."
By making the states' rights argument, the Republicans had finally latched on to an idea that resonated with conservatives in the South. Helped along by the rise of Christian politics and the influx of Northern professionals, the Southern GOP was on its way to turning the tables on the mighty Democrats. Like many Southern progressives, Willie Legette sees only one long-term hope for a Democratic remedy--conjuring up what Goldwater gave the GOP in 1964, "a choice, not an echo."
So far, Legette says, "the Democrats are not offering any meaningful choice. The candidates are not taking a vision to the public about what the government can do and should do for people." When the Democrats do talk about the issues that matter to working-class folks, he says, the folks tend to roll their eyes. "Whatever these candidates say about better education, people are not convinced they'll have better schools. How many times have they been told the exact same things before, while the schools get worse? Same with healthcare."
That's especially problematic because Republicans in the South are increasingly vulnerable on kitchen-table issues. Even in the "economic miracle" state of South Carolina, manufacturing jobs seem to disappear by the day. In the hardest-hit industries, textile executives and workers who voted for Bush in 2000 have been angrily vowing to turn their backs on the President in 2004.
