Memorial StadiumIllinois Fighting Illini
Memorial Stadium is located in Champaign Illinois. It is a football stadium on the campus of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and home to the Illinois Fighting Illini. Memorial Stadium has a seating capacity of 70,904 and the playing surface is FieldTurf.
Weather ForecastWeather Powered by World Weather Online
The stadium is a memorial to the University of Illinois students who died in World War I and was dedicated on October 18, 1924. In 2002, the stadium dedication was extended to include those that died in World War II. The names of the fallen are etched on pillars that surround the stadium's façade. Construction began on Memorial Stadium in September 1922 and was completed by November 1923. When originally built, the stadium consisted of double-decked stands on both sidelines. During construction there was heavy rain and a bulldozer sank into the field. It was decided that the cost of removing it outweighed the cost of leaving it buried under the field. It still remains there today. Beginning after the 2006 season, Memorial Stadium underwent a massive renovation project that was completed in 2008. All four sides of the stadium concourse areas were improved to include renovated concessions and restroom facilities. In 2002, Memorial Stadium served as the home field for the Chicago Bears while Soldier Field was being renovated. Memorial Stadium has hosted the IHSA football state finals since 1999.

Impacts of a nuclear war in South Asia on soybean and maize production in the Midwest United States

Crop production would decline in the Midwestern United States from climate change following a regional nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan. Using Agro-IBIS, a dynamic agroecosystem model, we simulated the response of maize and soybeans to cooler, drier, and darker conditions from war-related smoke. We combined observed climate conditions for the states of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri with output from a general circulation climate model simulation that injected 5 Tg of elemental carbon into the upper troposphere. Both maize and soybeans showed notable yield reductions for a decade after the event. Maize yields declined 10–40 % while soybean yields dropped 2–20 %. Temporal variation in magnitude of yield for both crops generally followed the variation in climatic anomalies, with the greatest decline in the 5 years following the 5 Tg event and then less, but still substantial yield decline, for the rest of the decade. Yield reduction for both crops was linked to changes in growing period duration and, less markedly, to reduced precipitation and altered maximum daily temperature during the growing season. The seasonal average of daily maximum temperature anomalies, combined with precipitation and radiation changes, had a quadratic relationship to yield differences; small (0 °C) and large (−3 °C) maximum temperature anomalies combined with other changes led to increased yield loss, but medium changes (−1 °C) had small to neutral effects on yield. The exact timing of the temperature changes during the various crop growth phases also had an important effect.

Second-quarter 2009 GAAP operating income increased 22% year over year to $13.6 million due to the 7% increase in gross profit and a 5% decline in operating expenses. Second-quarter 2009 GAAP operating expenses declined 5% year over year to $13.4 million due to a 10% decline in general and administrative expenses resulting from cost control and improved operating efficiency, partially offset by a 29% increase in selling and marketing expenses resulting from expanded business development efforts.
Second-quarter 2009 GAAP net income from continuing operations increased
37% year over year to $14.7 million due to the 22% increase in operating
income and a favorable change in other income (expenses) net, offset by higher
tax expense. Other income (expenses) net in second-quarter 2009 included
gains from foreign-exchange forward contracts of $0.3 million, compared to
losses of $1.4 million on such contracts in second-quarter 2008. Taxes in

Re-enactors will rob trains, shoot guns, cook some vittles
Frontier Army of the West, Calvary re-enactors, will also be at the Rendezvous with their 1841 Mountain howitzer, firing it about once an hour.
"They do a demonstration of a muzzleloading gun versus a cartridge gun to show how much faster the cartridge is," James Keeline said.
Frontier Army of the West will also fire the Civil War-era cannon at Poway Veterans Park across the street from Old Poway Park.
The combination of hands-on and historical activities at Rendezvous in Poway makes the event entertaining and enriching as well, Keeline said.
"(The Rendezvous) is intended primarily as an educational experience. I think everyone will not only learn something new but enjoy it at the same time," he said.
Christy Scannell is a freelance writer from San Diego.

2009 Miami Defense Preview
2009 Miami Depth Chart
2008 Miami Preview |
2007 Miami Preview |
2006 Miami
What you need to know:
Bill Young's departure back to Big 12 country has
Miami breaking in a new defensive coordinator for a
second straight year. John Lovett, most recently the
special teams coordinator at North Carolina,
inherits a defense that has a nice mixture of
veterans and young players. This is not, however, a
vintage Hurricane defense. The 'Canes had trouble
stopping the run and creating takeaways in 2008,
both of which Lovett hopes to address. His front
seven has depth and talent, including budding stars
in DT Marcus Forston, DE Marcus Robinson, and LB
Sean Spence. The biggest concern rests with a
mediocre secondary that was painfully short on big
plays a year ago.
Tackles: Sean Spence, 65
Sacks: Allen
Bailey, 5
Interceptions: Multiple players, 1
Star of
the defense: Sophomore LB Sean
Player that has to step up and become a star: Sophomore CB Brandon Harris
Unsung star on the rise:
Sophomore DT Marcus Forston
Best pro prospect:
Junior DT Allen Bailey
Top three all-star candidates:
1) Spence, 2) Bailey, 3) Senior DE Eric
Strength of the defense:
Depth up front, preventing big plays, getting to
the passer
Weakness of the defense:
Creating turnovers, run defense,
inexperience in the secondary
Defensive Line
Projected Starters:
Depth will not be a concern for this group. Keeping
everyone involved? Now, that is going to be a
challenge for the staff. A ton of lettermen return
to the front, headed by junior
Allen Bailey,
one of the most freakishly explosive athletes on the
roster, if not the entire state. An uncommon blend
of speed and burst in a 6-4, 285-pound frame, he has
the quicks to play end, but is more likely to line
up on the inside. Despite being slowed by a torn
pectoral muscle and starting just four games, he
still collected 36 tackles, nine tackles for loss,
and five sacks. He has an enormous ceiling that
could be reached in 2009.
Lining up next to Bailey will be 6-2, 308-pound
sophomore Marcus Forston, a Freshman All-American in 2008 and one of the gems
of last year's star-studded recruiting class. In a
short period of time, he's already shown the
quickness and disruptive tendencies that could
someday land him on other All-American squads. In
his debut, he had 25 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss,
and three sacks, despite starting just one game.
The 'Canes got great news when senior DE
Eric Moncur
was granted an additional year of eligibility by
the NCAA. The team's best pass rusher heading into
2008, he suffered an injury and was limited to just
four games. A speedy, powerful player coming off the
edge, he showed flashes in 2007, making 48 tackles,
11.5 tackles for loss, and six sacks. He's hoping to
be at full strength by the start of the season.
Whether he's in the starting lineup or coming off
the bench, sophomore
Robinson is going to find a way on to the field.
A classic speed rusher, he started five games as a
rookie, making 35 tackles, nine tackles for loss,
and four sacks. Three of those sacks came against
Virginia Tech in a microcosm of his potential to
simply blow past dumbfounded tackles. At only 6-1
and 242 pounds, he needs to prove he can hold up
against the run and is more than just a situational
player on obvious passing downs.
Projected Top Reserves: Senior DT
Joe Joseph has started 14 games over the last two seasons, and has
hardly stopped competing for a top job heading into
his final year. At 6-3 and 302 pounds, he moves well
laterally and has the quickness to beat his man into
the backfield. In his most productive season on
campus, he finished 2008 with 35 tackles, 4.5
tackles for loss, and a sack.
Also providing depth on the inside is 6-2, 321-pound
Micanor Regis, a space-eater capable of helping
the defense in run defense. Coming off the bench in
his first year, he had 16 tackles, flashing the raw
power and leg drive that sometimes makes it
difficult for one blocker to handle him.
When pure speed is needed off the bench, Miami can
look to sophomore
Adewale Ojomo,
a 6-3, 248-pound end with the explosiveness and
agility of an outside linebacker. He plays in all 13
games as a first-year player, earning three starts
and making 17 tackles, four tackles for loss, and
three sacks.
Ojomo and 6-3, 255-pound senior Courtney
will be working to keep Robinson out of the starting
lineup this summer. Harris was actually making a
push up the depth chart a year before suffering a
knee injury that sidelined him for the entire
season. While he has just one career sack in 19
appearances, he has good enough size to be a factor
against the run.
Watch Out For ... a very fluid
depth chart. Miami has so many equal parts at end
and tackle that the competition for playing time
will be as hot as the South Florida sun this summer.
Even the coaching staff has no idea what the
two-deep will look like in September, especially
with a couple of players still working back from
Depth. Miami likes to rotate its linemen liberally,
which will not be a problem this fall. The
Hurricanes are flush with an immense amount of depth
inside and especially outside. An unheard of 10
linemen have lettered at this level, allowing one of
last year's starters, DE
Steven Wesley,
to moonlight at tight end during the spring.
Weakness: Run defense. It's been two
straight years now that Miami has been pushed around
in run defense. Last year's group finished last in
the ACC in that department, getting exposed over the
final three-quarters of the year.
Outlook: Although Miami doesn't
boast any shoe-in all-star along the defensive line,
it has as much depth and overall talent as any unit
in the ACC. Now, it has to back it up, especially
against the run. With Moncur returning and players,
such as Bailey, Forston, and Robinson, ready for
take off, the Hurricanes should be markedly better
at the point of attack than a year ago.
Rating: 8.5
Projected Starters:
Three of last year's key contributors are gone,
included steady Glenn Cook, putting more pressure
than ever on the underclassmen to chip in. One of
those youngsters, sophomore
Sean Spence,
has already proven in one season that he's on the
verge of stardom. As a highly-touted true freshman,
he parlayed 82 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, and
two sacks into being named ACC Defensive Rookie of
the Year. Don't be fooled by his 6-0, 211-pound
frame. He's a guided missile and one of the hardest
hitting players in the conference.
The veteran of the unit is 5-11, 235-pound senior
Darrryl Sharpton, a fifth-year player and a veteran of 39 games and
20 starts. Tough in run defense and explosive in all
direction, he's gotten progressively better as his
career has developed. Seeing his most extensive
action as a Hurricane, he was fourth on the team
with 66 tackles, adding six tackles for loss and a
handful of quarterback hurries.
The key to this group in 2009 will be the health of
senior Colin McCarthy, who missed the last couple of months of 2008 with a
season-ending shoulder injury. A year earlier, he
had the look of a budding star, displaying great
speed and instincts, while racking up 74 tackles, 12
tackles for loss, and two sacks. Very athletic for a
6-3, 235-pounder, Miami needs his playmaking ability
on the field.
Projected Top Reserves: Sophomore
Arthur Brown, not Spence, was the headliner of the 2008 recruiting
class. Yet, Brown never quite got comfortable in the
system and wound up spending most of the year on
special teams. His talent, however, remains
exceptional. An outstanding all-around athlete at
6-2 and 223 pounds, he reads and reacts well,
exploding on impact when reaching his target.
Less heralded from that 2008 class, 6-2, 215-pound
Jordan Futch will get a chance for considerable
playing time on the outside. He was adapting nicely
to the speed of the game in September before an
injury limited him to just five games. After playing
well in the spring and showing he was healthy, he's
ready for an increase in reps.
Watch Out For ... Brown's
development. There's been an overreaction to the
fact that Spence was better out of the starting
blocks. Brown is no less of a blue-chip athlete than
when he was considered the No. 1 prep linebacker in
America. It'll be worth monitoring how far he's come
along from his first season on campus. Miami didn't
need him a year ago, but it does now.
Spence. He's just one of those unique young players,
who's capable of wreaking havoc all over the field
with his athletic ability. In many ways, he looks
like a throwback Miami linebaceker of the 1980s and
1990s, who weren't very big, but had great lateral
speed and intensity.
Weakness: Proven depth. Losing
Cook, Spencer Adkins, and Romeo Davis means the
'Canes will lean heavily on unproven players on the
second team. If Brown and Futch happen to not be
ready for primetime, there really aren't many other
options for the coaching staff.
While the potential exists for this to be a terrific
group, the linebackers still have plenty to prove.
In particular, McCarthy needs to show that his
shoulder won't be a problem and Brown and Futch have
to perform as if they're ready to enter the huddle
at a moment's notice.
Rating: 8
Defensive Backs
Projected Starters:
Certainly by the program's usual standards, this is
a very ordinary Miami secondary. There have been
some losses due to graduation, and none of the
returners have an all-star pedigree. Fortunately,
6-0, 208-pound senior
Randy Phillips was granted a medical hardship after missing all but
two games with an injury in 2008. The veteran of
this crew, he's played in 34 career games, earning
13 starts along the way. While he never panned out
as a corner, he's a solid run defender and an
intimidating presence to unsuspecting receivers.
One of the pleasant surprises in March was 6-1,
185-pound sophomore
Telemaque, who really emerged from the pack at
safety. Following a disappointing, injury-filled
first year, he arrived a little bigger and stronger
and a lot closer to a starting assignment. He has a
special set of physical gifts, drawing comparisons
to a young Ed Reed, but needs to dedicate himself,
particularly in the film room.
Much like at safety, the competition at cornerback
figures to be intense throughout the summer.
Brandon Harris laid a nice foundation in his
first season on campus, starting six games and
getting in on 26 tackles. One of the top cornerback
prospect in the country in 2008, the 5-10,
190-pounder has great hips and instincts, but needs
to tighten up his fundamentals and overall technique
in pass coverage. That ought to come with more
An ever so slight lead at the other corner spot
belongs to 6-1, 177-pound
DeMarcus Van
Dyke, a spot starter during each of his two
Although he's yet to fulfill all of his potential as
a lockdown pass defender, the frame and the speed
are still there for him to begin blossoming. He had
16 tackles and just one pass breakup, making 2009 a
crossroads year for the junior.
Projected Top Reserves:
Bucking for playing time at safety will be 6-1,
197-pound junior
JoJo Nicholas,
an eight-game starter in 2008. He contributed 31
tackles and a couple of pass breakups, rarely
standing out or delivering a big play. He's a
quality all-around athlete and heady player,
providing an edge in a tight race for reps.
Senior Ryan
Hill is another one of the experienced safeties
vying for playing time in 2009. A former wide
receiver with 19 career receptions, he made the
full-time switch to defense last fall, starting five
games and making 34 tackles. Still learning the
position, the 5-11, 203-pounder needs to get a
little more physical if he's going to make it back
into the lineup.
The 'Canes most experienced corner out of the
reserves is 5-11, 180-pound senior
Chavez Grant,
a veteran of 37 games and 17 starts. An active pass
defender with good ball skills, he had 25 tackles
and a team-high seven pass breakups a year ago. At
worst, he'll play nickel back and have an integral
role on passing downs.
Watch Out For ... senior
Sam Shields. Didn't he used to be the next big thing at wide
receiver? Yup, but sensing a need, the Hurricanes
are trying one of their best athletes at cornerback
this offseason. A smooth 6-0, 186-pounder with
legitimate 4.3 speed, if he shows any ability to
cover, he'll get a chance to contribute this fall.
Keeping the ball in front of them. For all of the
griping and hand-wringing, the 'Canes didn't give up
many big plays last fall, while allowing just 165
yards a game through the air. Plus, opposing
quarterbacks completed just over 51% of their passes
in 2008, second nationally to only Florida State.
Weakness: Turnovers. Playing in a
league short on top-notch quarterbacks, it's
borderline criminal that Miami picked off just four
passes all year and only one in the final eight
games. This group needs to produce more big plays,
turning some of those batted balls into drive-ending
While last year's numbers were very solid, part of
the results were due to playing in the passer-poor
ACC. Miami needs to be more dynamic in pass defense.
And it knows it. Any potential star power in the
defensive backfield is inexperienced, meaning Harris
and Telemaque will be asked to mature and excel in a
Rating: 6.5
Special Teams
Projected Starters:
While not your typical dual-threat, junior
Matt Bosher
was every bit as valuable for the Hurricanes in
2008. In fact, he was named the team's MVP, a
testament to his skills as a punter and a
placekicker. A member of the All-ACC second team at
both positions, he nailed 18-of-20 field goal
attempts and was among the league leaders in net
punting. More than just accurate, he has terrific
leg strength, connecting on a 52-yarder against Wake
Forest last fall.
While Bosher sat out spring with a shoulder injury,
redshirt freshman
Jake Wieclaw
got a chance to stretch out his leg and show the
staff that he's ready to handle kickoffs. Ideally,
the 'Canes would prefer that Bosher get a rest once
in a while, provided Wieclaw is up to the challenge.
Watch Out For ... sophomore
Benjamin. In Benjamin, Miami is cautiously
optimistic that it has the second-coming of Roscoe
Parrish. A dynamite all-around athlete with
electrifying speed, he should be better in his
second season as the primary return guy. While he
led the ACC in punt returns a year ago, he was just
ordinary on kickoffs.
Strength: Coverage units. Beyond
Bosher, the obvious hero of this group, the coverage
teams consistently do an outstanding job of shutting
down lanes. On punts, in particular, Miami was No. 2
in the country, allowing under 17 yards a return.
Weakness: Mistakes in the punt game.
Most programs go an entire season without having a
punt blocked. The Hurricanes have allowed two in
each of the last two seasons. Bosher shares some of
the blame along with the snappers, who haven't
always been on target.
Outlook: Thanks in large part to the
leg of Bosher, Miami will contend for the ACC's best
all-around special teams unit. If Benjamin begins to
fulfill all of his potential, the 'Canes won't have
many serious challengers in this category.

I Peter 2:4-6 (AMP)
Come to Him [then, to that] Living Stone which men tried and threw away, but which is chosen [and] precious in God's sight. [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ. For thus it stands in Scripture: Behold, I am laying in Zion a chosen (honored), precious chief Cornerstone, and he who believes in Him [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] shall never be disappointed or put to shame.
My life as a believer is under construction. If I am not growing, developing and maturing as the new creation purposed by God and provided by Jesus Christ, then I am nothing more than a condemned life that will soon fall apart. Our future and hope are prefabricated by God. A prefabricated house is constructed in a warehouse and then disassembled to be put back together once the new owner finds a piece of property for construction. This is the same process that the Lord is using for you and me today. Before you and I are born, He carefully scripts our entire life from start to finish according to His Will and Way. (Psalm 139:16) According to Jeremiah 29:11, it is a good life with a future and hope. All of this was done before we ever drew our first breath and is the inheritance given to us by our Father who loves us with unfailing and faithful love like none that we have ever experienced. But the problem is that once we are born, we are separated from that plan by our sin. We have Eternity in our heart telling us that there is more to life than this (Ecclesiastes 3:11) and the Lord has provided a measure of faith (Romans 12:2) to be used in establishing a connection with God the Father once again and securing all that He has promised for our life. My life contains all the components for prosperity and potential to be more than it is today. It is up to me to come make the Stone the builders rejected into the Cornerstone of my life.
I am a girl that thrives on organization, routine and order in my life. It is called being a control freak and I am very good at it. In the Gifts of the Spirit, it would seem that I flow in the gift of administration. Sounds very boring to me. However, when I am thrust into a situation of chaos and disorder it is my natural instinct to put it all together. Like unraveling a jumble of power cords and systematically plugging them all in one by one until whatever I am doing or wherever I am runs smoothly and routinely. When I am faced with the uncertainty of life, it is my comfort zone to bring some semblance of order. This is a huge advantage in my position as a supervisor but sometimes hinders me as a friend. Life lived in a strict and rigid routine does not foster a spirit of love and forgiveness, but rather right and wrong. There is a right way to do things and a wrong way as well. My way is not always the best way for others even when I am convinced it is the only way for me. There is no doubt that Type A personalities like myself are highly productive people but do they prosper? God's Plan and Purpose for my life is not only to be successful in everything that I do according to His Word but to establish a holy, dedicated, consecrated priesthood with my life offering it to the Lord as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1) which is to follow the example of Jesus Christ. The only way that I will be able to do that is to believe in Jesus Christ, adhere to, trust in and rely on Him. Those who do will never be disappointed with the finished product or put to shame by the end result of their life.
Matthew 7:24-27 (AMP)
So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them [obeying them] will be like a sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock. And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a stupid (foolish) man who built his house upon the sand. And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great and complete was the fall of it.
The foundation of our life is the most important component of becoming a new creation. Jesus Christ must the foundation of our life or it is in vain. Why? When the end times come and go, Jesus Christ returns every church, temple, sanctuary and synagogue will be leveled. (Mark 13:1-2) They are the buildings that house religion and human attempts at righteousness. Men and women of God who were pastors, preachers, rabbis, teachers, deacons, board members and Sunday school leader will be subject to the plumb line of God as He measures the foundation of our life. Faith in Jesus Christ will be evidence in our favor that we built our life on the Rock. We must hear the Word of God and act upon it if we will survive this encounter to be considered an expert builder. It is not up to you to script a better life. It is not your job to decide what it will be made of. Your job is to follow His Plan and do His Will. We work hard to bring order when it is not our job. We strive for perfection when we cannot do it. We take all the pieces of our life and try to make something other than what the Lord intended it to be and become frustrated when nothing comes together as it should. Your life is under construction. God is renovating it to look like He fashioned it to be. It will come together nicely once you discover His Will, His Way and His Word. It is up to you to take all the components of your life and give them back to the Lord so that you will foster. Will your pride allow you to build the life God made for you or must we continue to take His Workmanship and try to piece it together ourselves? You are to be a new creation.
2 Corinthians 5:16-18 (AMP)
Consequently, from now on we estimate and regard no one from a [purely] human point of view [in terms of natural standards of value]. [No] even though we once did estimate Christ from a human viewpoint and as a man, yet now [we have such knowledge of Him that] we know Him no longer [in terms of the flesh]. Therefore if any person is [engrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him].
As we carefully examine the construction process of God in our life, it is important to get in our spirit that we are to become a new creation. There is no need to evaluate and compare our life to that of other people because it is a "new" life. New means one that has not been before. Another word for "new" is "unfamiliar". I like this description because it explains so much of God's Work in our life. We are not familiar with things like unfailing love, forgiveness, faithfulness and goodness because of the world in which we live. These things are foreign to us outside of God's Love and Devotion to His Children. When we begin to experience such a relationship with the One True God, it is human nature to doubt the impressiveness and pervasiveness of His Love and Compassion for us. We must work at the foundation of our life forever drilling it in our mind, body and spirit that He is good all the time, His Love Unfailing, His Faithfulness is forever and so on. Jesus Christ is reconciling our life to God the Father which makes us Children of God with an Inheritance. God will take His Child and begin to raise our standard of living to the Glorious Standard mandated before we were ever born when He scripted our life moment by moment. The only way to give us a better life is to shake us up until we release this old, tired existence that we have been living. Such a shaking moves us from our comfort zone to become the new creation that we were always meant to be.
Luke 14:25-30 (AMP)
Now huge crowds were going along with [Jesus], and He turned and said to them, If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his [own] father and mother [[a]in the sense of indifference to or relative disregard for them in comparison with his attitude toward God] and [likewise] his wife and children and brothers and sisters—[yes] and even his own life also—he cannot be My disciple. Whoever does not persevere and carry his own cross and come after (follow) Me cannot be My disciple. For which of you, wishing to build a farm building, does not first sit down and calculate the cost [to see] whether he has sufficient means to finish it? Otherwise, when he has laid the foundation and is unable to complete [the building], all who see it will begin to mock and jeer at him, saying, This man began to build and was not able (worth enough) to finish.
There is an inherent nature of ignorance in the Church today that will lead to its demise. The Word of God has been compromised in order to make the House of God seeker-sensitive. This could be compared to a builder who takes the architects plans and begins to cut corners to save on construction costs. Buyer beware. If it seems too good to be true, then it usually is. We must consider the cost of our life and the price paid by Jesus Christ. It is up to us to accept His Finished Work on the Cross to make Him not only our Savior but more importantly our Lord. We all need a Savior and easily accept the free gift of salvation. I can win a new house but if I do not choose to occupy the dwelling what good is it to me. Today we must consider the cost before we ask Jesus to be our Savior, because by doing so we also agree to make Him Lord of our life. There is an element of labor to our love for Jesus Christ. It is work to make our faith secure. We must work to be obedient and do what the Lord has instructed us to do. We should follow the letter of God's Law as closely as we can. This will not save our soul but will prosper our life. His Word and His Way are all about getting His Promises and Blessings to His Beloved Children molding and shaping their lives to be successful and prosperous. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. But like an expert builder, you must always count the cost before you accept life under construction. Your life will not be all that the Lord promised it could be unless you accept His Word, do what it says and remain faithfully obedient to His Way.
I Corinthians 3:8-11 (NLT)
He who plants and he who waters are equal (one in aim, of the same importance and esteem), yet each shall receive his own reward (wages), according to his own labor. For we are fellow workmen (joint promoters, laborers together) with and for God; you are God's garden and vineyard and field under cultivation, [you are] God's building. According to the grace (the special endowment for my task) of God bestowed on me, like a skillful architect and master builder I laid [the] foundation, and now another [man] is building upon it. But let each [man] be careful how he builds upon it, for no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
The foundation of our life is Jesus Christ. There is no other firmament that will withstand the tests of time to remain intact forever. He is a firm foundation. He is a big foundation. His Love is so high, deep and wide that we cannot contain it so we must hang on in the flood of its outpouring over our life. We are all in this together and share one foundation. Love is what holds us close together as we cling to life (Jesus Christ). People are not your enemy but your helpers. We are coworkers so there is no room for discord or division in the Family of God. We have a job to do. Our lives are to be Temples for the Spirit of the Living God in order to become a new creation. You need other people in your life to be a successful Christian. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you are right, just restorative in your many relationships becoming bonded and knit together in the Love of God. Faith in Jesus Christ allows us to live in relationship with other people because we are fully satisfied and content in our friendship with Him that we release others from unrealistic expectations and from finishing the work that Jesus began in us to be carried out through us. God is not going to change the contents and conditions of our life. He takes all components of our life to fit together according to His Plan and Purpose. The people put in our life are there to aid in prosperity. Every person you come in contact with has the potential to increase our life. It is not about them but rather us. What do we do with the relationships that we are given? Do we use them to increase the foundation of love and forgiveness that is Jesus Christ and proves we are imitators of God? The Lord gave you potential but we must turn it into prosperity.
Ephesians 2:20-22 (AMP)
You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone. In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow, increase) into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord]. In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you yourselves also are being built up [into this structure] with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place) of God in (by, through) the Spirit.
What if today we stopped trying to hold it all together and let it all go? What if we allowed Jesus Christ to have all the component of our life and let Him work out His Salvation in us and through us? What would happen? We would have the life that we now only dream of. Our life would be filled to overflowing with God's Unfailing Love. We would begin to achieve those things that once were only promises. The foundation of our life would become firm and solid so when the storms of life came and went that we would remain strong by confident hope. And then what if such a commitment to growth and development spread to the church. People would be saved, healed and delivered because God's Word would become the foundation of every House of the Living God. As the people began to join together, the workload would not seem so impossible and things would get done right before revival hit the House. It is time to examine the foundation of our life and make sure that we find His Name. God's Plan and Purpose for our life is alive and well. He is just waiting on us to approve His Plan and work it. Once we do the impossible is suddenly possible and no longer are we frightened of the storm but stand strong through it. Yes, my life is under construction so please pardon my mess!
Philippians 1:5-6 (AMP)
[I thank my God] for your fellowship (your sympathetic cooperation and contributions and partnership) in advancing the good news (the Gospel) from the first day [you heard it] until now. And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.

...building hybrid clouds that can support any device from anywhere
Identity management used to be a relatively simple matter. You set up an identity management system based on one or more identity repositories, you enter user names and passwords into the identity repository system, you create groups and populate them with user accounts and then you configure your applications and services to use that system and away you go. If you wanted to get "sophisticated" you might do things like require users to change their passwords on a periodic basis and maybe go crazy by requiring some level of password complexity.
Fast forward to the second decade of the third millennium. Enterprise identity management has become increasingly complex because there are so many systems that tie into separate identity providers that are managed in-house. And then there are the partners who need to access your data and the customers who also need some level of access. How are you going to handle all those identities that aren't even under your control? And what about hybrid IT, where you have to deal with on-premises identities and identities provided by and managed by public identity providers, all of which have variable (and perhaps questionable) levels of assurance and trust?
The first thing to do is sit back and take a deep breath. Before diving into the brave new world of identity management in the age of hybrid IT, the best thing to do is get a good grounding in the basic principles that drive a coherent identity infrastructure. This is where our new whitepaper "The Four Pillars of Identity" come in. This paper is based on interviews with the brightest minds within Microsoft services and reflects their decades of experience on envisioning and crafting holistic identity management solutions. These four pillars provide the foundation for any well architected identity management solution.

Please let us know what you think of this paper and what information on this topic you would like to see in the future. We plan to update this white paper on a regular basis as the topic of identity management in Hybrid IT progresses over time.
Also, there is a companion white paper that you might want to read after this one titled Identity Infrastructure Capabilities-Identity Management in the Age of Hybrid IT. You'll be glad you did!

I'll agree that Floyd doesn't have that innate radar that Pernell had to avoid incoming punches plus his footwork isn't nearly as good as Whitakers either but that low left hand, shoulder roll is a hard skill to execute for as long as Floyd has and I don't think I've seen anyone do it as successfully as Mayweather either. Plus his ability to counter off the roll is beautiful to watch (it even made his mismatch with Gatti worth a look).
Floyd has very good speed but it isn't his greatest strength it's his ability to combine his defense with a deadly accurate offense with sets him apart from the pack and likely would make a fight between them pretty close (given that Pernell possessed a much higher workrate).
Pernell and Floyd are both absolute masters of their craft all be it employing differing and unique styles but both are very,very highly skilled.

The All New LIQUID COOLED R1200GS threadfest
View Single Post
Joined: Oct 2007
Oddometer: 53
I have a 2005 GS and have been waiting for the "big change". I ride 80/20 pavement/dirt and usually do at least two longer trips per year. I have had many bikes but have never wanted to get rid of the GS. Too dependable, does everything reasonably well. I was very close to getting a multistrada from Ducati because I like the brand and they perform very well on the street. I recently went on a day ride with my buddy who has a Pikes Peak Multi. We decided to take a detour home along a well traveled dirt fire road. It was technical in some sections but over all it was tame. After about a half mile I looked back and no Ducati. I turned around and it had buried itself in some gravel up to its gearbox. It took some very light feathering of the clutch to get it out. He was in "enduro" mode. So no Ducati for me.
I saw the new Triumph Explorer at the moto show in December and was not impressed. You sit "in" it. Very high tank in front of you. The fit and finish was all plastic and it felt like a giant scooter/moped. One thing I like to tell my friends with Multistradas is that I can kick my bike down a hill, pick it up, and ride home. I did not have that confidence with the Triumph. Also, the frame is almost exactly the same as the GS. It is really a shame how much they copied. At least the Tenere is trying to be a little different.
Engine: I was actually hoping that BMW was going to "retire" the boxer for another engine in the lineup. Trust me, when a new rider to the Adventure Touring segment says they are going to buy a GS your never hear, "Gee, i went with the GS over the Triumph, Ducati, Tenere and Vstrom because of that air cooled boxer engine!" For how wide the boxer is BMW could probably wedge the 1600 in there! I was also thinking that the 1300 would work well also. Heck why not the S1000RR! Also, I know that Rotax also makes some engines for BMW so they might have a 150hp, 100ftlb torque beast they could develop for the GS. Liquid cooling makes all the sense in the world. There are physical limits that just can't be overcome without increased displacement. Trust me, we don't need more displacement in the GS. Just ask BMW, many 1200 GS riders have gone down to the 800GS. This thread is called the "1250" post but I would think they could go with a 1100 boxer and still have a horsepower jump with liquid cooling. Torque is the key to this beast. There is something so satisfying when you are in second gear and roll back the throttle on an uphill dirt section and feel the GS literally move the earth beneath you as you power up the hill. That's torque!
Electronics: half of the posts in ADV are all about how to bypass the canbus or modifying the electronics. Lights, monitoring, GPS, comm systems, electric clothing, blah blah blah...I hope the new GS has plenty of that stuff built in. BMW, don't develop this yourself! Contract with Touratech, Powerlet, Garmin, and others to help you! The biggest things for me are solid protection for the bike in dirt and when it is dropped. Wider foot pegs (pivot pegs). GPS, big lights, great seat that works both sitting and standing, REAL panniers, powerlet outlets everywhere, USB power plug, heated grips, tire pressure monitor, outside temp monitor, trip computer, barometric pressure, elevation, Bluetooth, oh yeah...the kitchen sink as well.
If the engine is up to snuff and full of usable horsepower it must be selectable. Also, turning off ABS easily is key as well. I think three engine modes and three suspension modes are plenty. Just make sure we can tell the difference in our rear ends when we make a change. If its soft suspension, make it soft. If it is hard, by goodness, it better be stiff (insert joke here). can you hire Ohlins to make the suspension? Just so we don't have to all switch when we get the bikes.
Some other things: put the catalytic converter in the exhaust can, makes for a cheap easy modification! Triumph does that and it is great! Do some wind testing on the windshield. One that moves up and down would be cool. Just make sure it covers the rider well. Still unclear why the Adventure has a full windscreen with wings and the base model, does not. Electronic cruise control. Triumph has BMW beat there. Twisting a bolt on my throttle until it "locks" the throttle is not my idea of cruise control. More like suicide. LED headlight and turn signals, wet clutch, larger diameter front wheel, spokes are the only option
Ok, thats my GS rant. See you all next year when I trade in the 2005 for the new GS. Cheers!

Carrie Underwood may be America's newlywed Sweetheart, but the Cowboy Cassanova singer looked a bit more naughty than nice when she hit the stage of The Today Show in NYC on Friday! Wearing a pair of cuffed shorts with a white, tailored blouse and a cropped blazer, the blonde beauty sported a men's tie around her neck (new hubby Mike Fisher's perhaps?) and thigh-high tights with open-toed, grommet-embellished booties. The result? Vintage Britney meets SNL's Mary Katherine Gallagher!

Trevor Plouffe lands on disabled list with thumb injury
Jul 27, 2012, 8:20 PM EDT
Trevor Plouffe hasn't played since jamming his right thumb on a swing last Friday against the Royals and now the Twins will have to get by without him for a little while longer.
Plouffe was originally slated to return to the lineup tonight against the Indians, but he was scratched after he felt continued discomfort during batting practice. The Twins didn't want to push him any further, so they placed him on the disabled list prior to tonight's game. The move is retroactive to July 21, so he could return as soon as next Sunday if the thumb improves. Danny Valencia was called up to take his place on the roster.
Plouffe has emerged as a surprising bright spot for the last-place Twins this season, batting .259/.330/.525 with 19 home runs, 38 RBI and an .855 OPS through 74 games played. And while he has slowed down a bit from his incredible power surge in early June, he was hitting .302 (19-for-63) with three homers in 16 games this month prior to the injury.
- wintwins - Jul 27, 2012 at 8:27 PM
Seven days off before putting him on the DL?
Classic Twins!

My comment from July 24th on this post: http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/24/twins-hot-hitting-trevor-plouffe-sidelined-by-thumb-injury/
I highly believe he'll be placed on the disabled list. "Day-to-day" is the Twins' version of the dreaded "vote of confidence" phrase. It sounds positive, but we all know what's going to happen in the end.
You can thumb down wintwins' comment all you want, but he (she?) is absolutely correct in saying that this is typical for the Twins.
- rgledz - Jul 28, 2012 at 2:15 PM
Typical of every Major League team….his time on the DL is retroactive to the 7 days ago……..so who cares.
- kwf1224 - Jul 28, 2012 at 2:50 PM
The Twins aren't going to win many
games without Trevor Plouffe.

Per school tradition, the rest of the team made sure the seniors didn't have to walk off their final practice at Spaulding Field.
Johnathan Franklin made the FWAA All-American list today, the last of the NCAA-recognized teams to be announced. Of those five teams (AP, AFCA, Walter Camp, Sporting News are the others), this is Franklin's first appearance on a first team. He missed out on AFCA and Sporting News lists, and made the AP and Walter Camp second teams.
USC's Marqise Lee was the only Pac-12 player to make all five first teams. Tellingly, no running backs in the country achieved unanimous All-American status, with Franklin, Kenjon Barner (Oregon), Montee Ball (Wisconsin) and Ka'Deem Carey (Arizona) all swapping in and out of the top spots.
Here are the Bruins that made Phil Steele's All-Pac-12 teams:
1st: RB Johnathan Franklin, OL Xavier Su'a-Filo
2nd: OL Jeff Baca
3rd: WR Shaquelle Evans
1st: LB Anthony Barr
2nd: DT Datone Jones, LB Eric Kendricks
1st: P Jeff Locke
3rd: KR Damien Thigpen, PR Steven Manfro (Huh?!)
The most glaring omission is senior Fauria, who was left off despite being one of eight semifinalists for the John Mackey Award — given to the top tight end in the nation. I get that Fauria isn't a true blocking tight end anymore, but he was tied for second in the conference with 11 touchdown receptions. Arizona State's Chris Coyle, who got the third team nod, grabbed just five and only had 11 more yards per game (54.9 to 43.2).
On the bright side for UCLA fans, Franklin made first team with Kenjon Barner, beating out Arizona's Ka'Deem Carey. This could bode well for Franklin's chances at the last remaining NCAA-recognized All-American list: the Football Writers Association of America releases its team later this week, and Steele is on the committee.
Tailback Johnathan Franklin and linebacker Anthony Barr were both named second-team All-Americans by the Associated Press this morning. Offensive lineman Xavier Su'a-Filo made the third team.
Franklin shared his second-team nod with fellow Doak Walker finalist Kenjon Barner (Oregon), both of whom were beat out by Wisconsin's Montee Ball (Doak Walker winner) and Arizona's Ka'Deem Carey (nation's leading rusher).
The five All-American lists recognized by the NCAA are the AP, American Football Coaches Association, Sporting News, Walter Camp and the Football Writers Association of America (which will be released later this week).
Franklin was also a second-teamer on the Walter Camp list, behind Ball, Barner and Carey. No other Bruin has made an All-American list other than the AP, but no other list went three teams deep.
Other AP first-team selections from the Pac-12: WR Marqise Lee (USC), TE Zach Ertz (Stanford), DT Star Lotulelei (Utah), DT Will Sutton (ASU), CB Jordan Poyer (Oregon State).
Johnathan Franklin may hold nearly a half-dozen UCLA records, but that wasn't good enough to earn him the distinction of being the nation's best running back. Franklin finished second to Wisconsin's Montee Ball, who also edged out presumptive favorite Kenjon Barner (Oregon).
Here's a statistical comparison between the three seniors.
Kenjon Barner:

European aviation giant sweetens offer for IAF mega tender
MUNICH: Bidding for the mega tender for 126 fighter aircraft, the European aviation giant EADS has sweetened its offer by inviting India to become the fifth country and the first outside Europe to join the ongoing upgrade of Eurofighter aircraft.
EADS is also prepared to involve India in its supersonic jet trainer development programme as well as other futuristic projects such as unmanned aerial and undersea vehicles.
"India would be interested to jump into these. This is one topic that would be discussed with respect to offsets," said EADS officials.
Offsets are a crucial component of the over $ 10 billion mega tender floated by the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the six competitors are conjuring new avenues to ensure that 50 per cent of the contract value is generated within India.
The normal offset value is 30 per cent for big contracts but Defence Minister A.K. Antony insisted that the percentage be hiked to 50 so that the Indian aviation industry becomes more sophisticated and advanced.
"We are in the build-up for phase II of the Eurofighter programme. It will include new equipment and continue to be dynamic. It might be interesting for Indian companies to jump in at phase II and III," senior EADS official Christian Albert told visiting newspersons at the company's new Manching plant on the outskirts of Munich.
EADS cited the example of Spain which has benefited by becoming the fourth country to join the Eurofighter development project.
In a production process that is unique in the world, the central fuselage and the right wing is made in Germany, the left wing in Spain and other vital components sourced from the U.K. and Italy.
This process would make it easy for the company to seamlessly source the assembly line to India, something other countries would find it difficult to emulate, suggest company officials.
When Spain joined the programme, it only had the design capability for propeller and jet aircraft. It was also "very poor" in engine manufacturing. After entering the Eurofighter programme, Spain has boosted its aviation capability considerably and 90 per cent of the money is spent in the country itself. The skill of its workers and engineers has also increased.
"This encourages us to invite you," observes Dr. Albert.
Later, in the basement of a test facility with Eurofighters roaring overhead, test pilot Heinz Spolgen pointed out how the plane's cockpit was the best in business.
With 80 per cent of the single pilot's work devoted to weapons control, Wing Commander Spolgen points out that it is vital for the pilot to be comfortable with the plane's flying characteristics.
"The working place is very good because it is designed for the pilots by the pilots. The cockpit's controls have been designed after taking inputs from pilots who have flown a variety of American, European and even Soviet-era planes. Therefore the cockpit is more advanced and user-friendly," he explains.
