3/7/14 Miley Vs. Katy
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, March 7, 2014
MILEY CYRUS was apparently not happy with KATY PERRY'S joke about breaking off their kiss because Miley's tongue is nasty. Because Miley Tweeted, quote, "Girl if you're worried about where tongues have been good thing ur ex boo is ur EX BOO cause we ALL know where THAT [tongue's] been." That's obviously a reference to Katy's ex JOHN MAYER.
The video of JUSTIN BIEBER providing a urine sample in jail has finally surfaced . . . and it's a waste of two minutes of your time. You just see Justin peeing behind a privacy wall and it's censored by a giant black box. Nothing special or amusing.
Khloe Kardashian is moving into Justin Bieber's house. No, they aren't shacking up. Khloe plunked down $7.2 million for Beiber's Calabasas, California home, the same place police raided in January. The next-door neighbors, whose home Justin allegedly egged, are "very happy" about the move.
A woman loved a dress that OPRAH wore on a magazine cover so much that she went on Twitter and asked Oprah for it. Oprah replied, quote, "I won't wear [it] ever again contact my asst. and show her this tweet." Within a week, the woman had the dress.
PRINCESS DIANA'S personal chef Darren McGrady says that Diana and OPRAH WINFREY were having lunch together one time, and Diana served Oprah a creamy, mayonnaise-filled tomato mousse. Diana had Oprah THINKING she was eating the same thing . . . but she was actually eating a FAT-FREE VERSION.
3/6/14 Simon Cowell Wants More Kids
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, March 6, 2014
In his first interview since the birth of his son, SIMON COWELL said, quote, "I was born to be a dad." He added, quote, "I wouldn't rule out [more children]! . . . I kind of think it's cool to have two . . . or three."
Yesterday we heard someone stole more than $200,000 worth of jewelry and other valuables from the home that KHLOE KARDASHIAN and LAMAR ODOM used to share. Someone also recently stole $50,000 in cash from the house. Now, Police reportedly believe the incidents are related, and there's even talk that Lamar's drug dealers did it because he owed them money. --Lamar supposedly owed TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars to several dealers, and once he left for Spain to play basketball, they started texting him threats that they were going to break in and TAKE what he owed.
"People" magazine says KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST are getting married on May 24th. As we've already heard, it's going down in Paris, and it'll be a small ceremony. At least compared to Kim's last wedding. They're "only" inviting around 150 people, and their daughter North West, who'll be less than a month shy of her first birthday, will have a role in the ceremony.
3/5/14 Khloe's Home Burglarized
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, March 5, 2014
On an Australian TV show, KATY PERRY admitted that she broke off the kiss with MILEY CYRUS during Miley's Bangerz Tour last month. She said, quote, "God knows where that tongue has been. We don't know. That tongue is so infamous!"
Even though she went to rehab earlier this year, a source says SELENA GOMEZ was drunk and stumbling around at an Oscar after-party. When Selena went to rehab, her rep said it was NOT for substance abuse. She checked out two weeks into a six-week program.
A Florida judge has ruled that video of JUSTIN BIEBER taking a URINE TEST after his DUI arrest WILL be released. But Justin's EQUIPMENT will be censored. There's no word when we'll see the clip. But police already did release pictures of Justin baring his tattoos so they could snap photos of them.
In her new book, JENNIE GARTH says she and SHANNEN DOHERTY never came to blows on the set of "90210", but they ALMOST did one time. LUKE PERRY and JASON PRIESTLEY had to separate them. Today, Jennie and Shannen are close friends.
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's former home in California was robbed of $250,000 worth of jewelry. Khloe noticed the jewelry was missing on Monday when she went with mother Kris Jenner to the home to clean it out for new owner Kaley Cuoco. The home has been empty for a month and Khloe believes it was an inside job… and could be anyone from house staff, assistants, filming crews, inspectors and movers. She now wants those with access to the home to take a lie detector test.
4/4/14 Scarlett Preggers?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, March 4, 2014
SCARLETT JOHANSSON is pregnant. Probably, anyway. There's been no official word from Scarlett's camp, but EVERYBODY is reporting it as fact, so I guess we're just gonna go with it. The father is French journalist Romain Dauriac. They got engaged last September. There's no word on Scarlett's due date, but TMZ claims she's FIVE MONTHS along, meaning she's more than halfway to the finish line. She's 29.
Maybe hookers, models and porn stars aren't all they're cracked up to be . . . because JUSTIN BIEBER is still hung up on SELENA GOMEZ. Yesterday, he posted two pictures of Selena all dressed up and heading to a post-Oscar party. And he captioned them, quote, "Most elegant princess in the world."
Somehow, this doesn't seem the least bit surprising. That film of an alleged three-way between JACK and BOBBY KENNEDY and MARILYN MONROE won't be going public after all. It was supposedly going to be auctioned off to settle a debt owed by its owner. But the word now is that the owner was able to pay that debt, so he's getting the movie back.
3/3/14 George Lopez Arrested
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, March 3, 2014
ROBIN THICKE is taking his case to the people. He told his audience in Fairfax, Virginia the other night, quote, "For y'all that don't know, me and my wife separated . . . but I'm trying to get my girl back . . . She's a good woman." Then he sang "Lost Without U" for her.
A film that supposedly shows a THREE-WAY between JOHN F. KENNEDY, BOBBY KENNEDY and MARILYN MONROE is hitting the auction block tomorrow. The film is more than 50 years old, and a collector acquired it in the 1980s. But he sat on out of respect for Marilyn's ex-husband JOE DIMAGGIO, who was a friend of his. DiMaggio died in 1999. The tape was seized from the guy because of a $200,000 court judgment against him. The only way he can stop the auction is by coming up with the 200-grand. We should note that at this point, nobody seems to have concrete proof that this film is legit.
GEORGE LOPEZ got hammered at a Canadian casino last Thursday, and was arrested for public intoxication after passing out on the floor. No charges were filed against him. George later joked, quote, "I just did in Windsor, what JUSTIN BIEBER does in America."
PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN'S autopsy report is out, and as expected, he died of an accidental drug overdose. In addition to heroin, he had cocaine in his system . . . along with anti-anxiety medication and an upper like Adderall.

Lowell, MA: Poet Paul Marion
- Login to add to Favorites
- 1 Comment
Mr. Alphonse Hudon, / wearing a blue parka and dress hat, / leans on his cane on Pawtucket Street, / checking the freshly tarred walk / and grove of short pines / along the Northern Canal. / "Looks good, doesn't it?" I ask. / And he says, "I liked it better the way it was," / which opens up a line of talk …
The poem goes on to tell of the conversation the two men had that day: Mr. Hudon, the older man, telling the younger one–the poet–how he used to know his father, and his grandfather before him, and an old neighbor named Mr. Marquis, who, 60 years ago or so ("before the wrecking cranes pulled up"), owned a filling station near the spot where they're talking. The young man recalls a house he knew as a child, a block or two away, with a tree growing through its porch roof. "Oh yes," the old man remembers, "that was Mr. Marquis' house. / And there was a monkey there, too …"
Mr. Hudon is probably gone by now. He was old already then, and those lines were written years ago. And the village he remembers has been gone now more than 40 years–its only memorial a bronze plaque on a granite slab squeezed onto a narrow spit of grass a block south of the Merrimack River in Lowell, Massachusetts, a minute's walk from where he and the poet had their talk: "On this site grew the heart of the Franco-American community. Hard-working French Canadians came to fill the mills of Lowell …" The granite was cut "from one of the last blocks … to be torn down." And around the plaque's sides, a border of street names, a fleur-de-lis at each corner, and two dates: 1875-1964.
It was the poet himself who first brought me here, on a summer day more than a year ago, to deliver on his promise to show me the city of his poems. He's been writing them now going on 35 years, since before he finished college: poems about bars and laundromats and textile mills–"cotton was king" here, but there were wool mills, too; about boxers and politicians, God, death, young lovers, work, baseball, the weather. Nine collections–Strong Place, What Is the City? and more–plus essays, co-authorships, and editing several titles, including Atop an Underwood, a popular collection of Jack Kerouac's early writings. And at the heart of nearly all of it is this city where he was born. It is both his muse and his dearest subject, and the cause around which he builds his working days. His devotion to it defines him. I may never have known anyone who loved any place more.
His name is Paul Marion. We'd come that day from our offices at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, where Paul wears a suit and tie and plans community outreach projects, and I write and teach part-time. For more than five years, we'd worked in the same office–although we didn't anymore–and I had come to value his warmth and wit, his vast knowledge of the city, and his love of the Red Sox.
And at least once every summer for the past eight years or more–because as much as he follows the Red Sox, he loves the Lowell Spinners more–we've sat together in the box he rents for the season at LeLacheur Park on Aiken Street, just three rows back from the field, and shared beer and kielbasa while the sun drops behind the scoreboard.
It was around that time last summer, a week or two before our Spinners outing, that I went with him to the little granite memorial. Our tour had begun several days earlier, when we'd met after work at his house. It's a grand house, in an un-grand part of the city, a mile or so south of the memorial: six bedrooms, Italianate, all brick and stone and high windows, built 150 years ago at the peak of Lowell's textile ascension, home to the agent of the old Appleton Mill, the city's largest at the time.
It's bifurcated today–with Paul, his wife, Rosemary, and their 13-year-old son, Joseph, in one half; the other half the home of his in-laws, who have lived there 50 years. Rosemary grew up in the house; her great-grandmother once worked there as a maid, before her son, Rosemary's grandfather, bought the place nearly 80 years ago. Joseph, both parents tell me proudly, is the fourth generation of their family to live there.
They explained all this to me over beer and peanuts in the oversized dining room, while Paul–who seems alternately proud and embarrassed by the grandeur of the home he's married into–came and went with family photos: of his grandfather the butcher, pictured in an apron in front of his market; his father the mill worker ("People always said he looked just like Sinatra"); Doris, his mother, who sold coats and dresses for 25 years in a women's department store downtown. He was in his element, and it showed: telling stories, shuffling photos, eyes alight, between what may be his two favorite subjects in the world, his family and the city of Lowell.
He talked about his father's job in the textile mill–the filth, the long hours, the years and years of daily drain. "I don't know how he stood it," he told me. "I got a job there one summer as a kid, cleaning the drains in the scouring plant–where they scour the dung out of raw fleeces with nothing but hot water and lye. The stink was unbelievable. I think I lasted two days." This took him to the subject of Lowell's mills in general–the wool uniforms for World War II soldiers, for the Union Army the century before–and from there to the immigrants who manned the spinning machines and the looms.

"This is a very good goalie jersey. It is light weight so I can wear it during the summer or playing indoor soccer. I have worn it for a couple of months now, playing 3 - 4 games a week and it has held up nicely. The sizing is acurate in that I ordered a XXL and it has some room to it so I don't feel constricted when I play. I would recommend this product to a friend." (E5472)

"Daddy ran the whiskey in a big-block Dodge,Bought it at an auction at the Mason's lodge, Him and my uncle tore that engine down, I still remember that rumbling sound."
It was a natural fit for three of us who spent much our college years banging around backwoods two-lanes in East Tennessee: For a rare get-together over Memorial Day, we'd meet in North Georgia and hit some of the legendary roads near our old stomping grounds. I'd drive "Scarlett," my warmed-over '72 coupe, Phillip would bring his '87 Corvette, and John, the lone motorcyclist, would pilot "El Bandito," his 1,200cc Suzuki sport-tourer. In the weeks leading up to the trip, we talked, debated, and flat-out argued logistics, me with my well-worn Rand McNally, and the other two with GPS and Google Maps.
We'd done the Skyway, picked Dragon out of our teeth numerous times, and logged hundreds of miles along the Ocoee and the adjacent 30. Something new was in order—or least something we hadn't all done. After dozens of rambling "Wait…if we—hang on, have you seen—oh, wait, what's this road named?" phone calls, texts, and emails, we got on the same sheet of music and pulled into the parking lot of the Mexican restaurant in Hiawassee, Georgia, our selected jumping-off point, on the Thursday night before the holiday.
Morning came early on Friday, one of those days you think light should be classified as an impact weapon, and the sky was still lightening when Scarlett's low staccato rumble broke the mountain silence. Our first stop was in Franklin, North Carolina, after spending 30 miles or so headed east on Highway 64, the western end of which runs through the Ocoee River Gorge. Somewhat less riverine here, it took us up over the Nantahala Mountains before dropping into Franklin and breakfast. With an ultimate goal of taking the Blue Ridge Parkway into Asheville, where we had hotel reservations for the night, we'd picked out a twisty-looking little thoroughfare called Ellijay Road. It would take us from just south of Franklin to 107, which in turn would take us to Sylva, and from there, to the Parkway.
The hand-scrawled notes from my spiral-bound logbook don't capture the raw terror of the thing: coated with a terrible, corrugated road surface and chockfull of unmarked blind curves. My summation simply reads, "It would be very easy to get hurt—or hurt somebody—on this road." And I wasn't even the one on the motorcycle. Note to self: Sometimes there's a reason you've never heard of a road.
Highways 107 and 23 were uneventful as we passed through Sylva, by Balsam, and up onto the smooth joy of the serpentine Parkway. The most visited place in the National Park System, the Parkway was begun in 1935 as part of the Civilian Conservation Corps initiative. Completed in the mid '80s, it stretches 469 miles through Virginia and North Carolina, from the Great Smoky Mountain Park to the Shenandoah National Park. In that distance, it passes through 26 tunnels and goes from just under 650 feet in elevation to more than 6,000.
Shortly after getting on, we pulled off at an overlook for a handful of trail mix and a Red Bull. John, who was enjoying a break from the heat of his leather riding jacket, squinted up at me. "You want to ride?" Fresh motorcycle permit in hand, I gave him the keys to Scarlett and straddled El Bandito, which John had been tutoring me on. Knowing that, on bikes even more than cars, you go where you're looking, he gave me a final word of warning. "Glance at the scenery," he said. "Watch the road."
I took lead, with the two Corvettes blocking from the rear so I could ride at a comfortable speed without fear of being tailgated. After a few miles, I started loosening up, leaning into the decreasing-radius curves that are a design feature of the Parkway. That's when I noticed John flashing his headlights at me. Pulling over, I noticed a stream of dark liquid deposited on the asphalt behind my Stingray, and a waft of smoke rising from the engine compartment. "It just started smoking, man," John told me. "I don't know what happened."
"Could be the rear main seal," Phillip said, sticking his head under the car with a flashlight. Rubbing a finger in the puddles revealed transmission fluid, but no cause for the leak. With no evidence of impending mechanical failure or a low fluid level, there was no good choice but to stay on course, checking it as we went. As it turned out, she never did it again, nor did we ever find the cause. All I can do is shrug: It's a 40-year old car.
Following a brief detour down 276 to Looking Glass Falls, we hit Brevard and then Asheville in time to check into the hotel. After off-loading some luggage, we swapped vehicles again and hit the Parkway for the drive to Mount Mitchell. I took the bike, in time to nearly hit a bobcat that streaked out in front of me, while Phillip drove Scarlett. Later I relinquished El Bandito to John and took the wheel of Phillip's '87 coupe, which made for an interesting contrast. Comparing notes later, while the C4 cornered flatter and more effortlessly than my '72, the Wilwood brakes on Scarlett made her stop far better than the stock binders on the fourth-gen.
Located about 35 miles northeast of Asheville, at 6,684 feet, Mitchell is the highest point east of the Rockies. Part of the Black Mountains (which provide 6 of the 10 highest mountains in the east), Mitchell is named for Dr. Elisha Mitchell, a UNC professor who died measuring the mountain in 1857, and who is buried at the summit. Boasting a temperature some 10-30 degrees cooler than Asheville, Mt. Mitchell is usually cloaked in fog and clouds, but it was clear when we got there a little before the sun began to drop.
We made the long drive back in the dark, pausing for a DUI checkpoint. "What year is it?" the officer asked me, as he looked at my licenses in the beam of his flashlight.
"'72," I answered him.
"I've got a 2002."
Day two was a meandering ramble eastward out of Ashville on 70 and 9, through Bat Cave and the incongruous traffic snarl that was Hendersonville. Next came 276, which was marvelous but for the condition of the blacktop, to the Symmes Chapel at YMCA Camp Greenville. Also known simply as "Pretty Place," the Symmes Chapel is an open-air stone chapel on the side of the mountain. There's a roof, seating for between 300 and 400 people, but no walls: The front of the chapel opens up to the corrugated blue of the layered hills, with a cross standing out in sharp relief against them. It's a lovely place, and a busy one. We arrived near the end of a wedding rehearsal, one whose members probably didn't appreciate the sound of a pair of small-blocks idling into the parking lot.

They're in order of hardbacks / signed / short storie collections and then paper back. it works in an odd way. The paper backs are in order though but the hardbacks are a bit mixed.

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsSpotlight for Recruiting ProfessionalsJune 12, 2013
Since employers report that the main focus of both their experiential education programs is to recruit entry-level college hires, it's not surprising they say that their interns and co-ops spend most of their work time on meaningful tasks. (See Figure 1.)
Overall, employers responding to NACE's 2013 Internship & Co-op Survey say that their interns/co-ops spend just 1.9 percent of their time working on non-essential business functions. In addition, 57.9 percent of their work time is spent on a combination of analytical/problem solving (35.9 percent) and/or project management (22 percent) tasks.
The rest of the time is spent on communications (19.1 percent), logistics (12.2 percent), and administrative/clerical tasks (8.9 percent).

Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium and Case Athletic Complex
H.A. Chapman Stadium Renovation Central
Skelly Stadium received a new name in April 2007, changing to Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
The newly renovated Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium opened its gates on Sep. 20, 2008, as Tulsa defeated New Mexico 56-14.
The stadium renovation included new seating throughout the stadium, restrooms, concession areas, new press box with luxury suites and club level seating, and a new scoreboard on the south side of the stadium, among other amenities. A new FieldTurf was installed in April 2008.
The steel structure on the stadium's west side was removed substantially improving the aesthetics of the facility. The new structure on the west side now has an exterior finish of pre-cast concrete panels trimmed with cast stone. This returns the fa�ade to the original architecture of the stadium, keeping the traditional look and feel of other campus structures.
The stadium has a new capacity of 30,000.
On April 24, 2007, University of Tulsa President Steadman Upham announced during his opening remarks at the school's annual All-Sports Banquet that the University had, within the past two hours, received the naming gift for renovation of the football stadium.
The H.A. and Mary K. Chapman Trust provided the financial gift for half of the estimated cost for renovation of the H.A. Chapman Stadium. Trustees of the H.A. And Mary K. Chapman Trust are Donne Pitman and Jerry Dickman. The complete renovation of H.A. Chapman Stadium began following the 2007 football season.
When the stadium was constructed in 1930 it was originally named Skelly Field, but was changed to Skelly Stadium in 1947 when 5,000 seats were added to north end zone.
For more than seventy years, Skelly Field has been the home field for University of Tulsa football.
Opening Skelly Field was a dream come true for Coach Elmer "Gloomy Gus" Henderson. Before Tulsa played its home games in Skelly Field the Golden Hurricane used McNulty Park, the minor league stadium that was the forerunner of Oiler Park. McNulty was located near the corner of 11th street and Elgin.
An unprecedented wave of prosperity swept over America in 1928 and wealthy Tulsa oil men began listening to Henderson's dream. The trustees were proceeding with plans for a stadium on faith that a donor would appear. In April, 1930, William Skelly, a long-time friend of the University, gave $125,000 to the stadium fund if another $175,000 could be raised. The remaining money was raised by Tulsa businessmen who organized the Stadium Corporation of Tulsa.
Ground-breaking ceremonies were held on May 11, 1930 and the building race was on to complete the stadium for the upcoming season.
Skelly Field opened on October 4, 1930 against Arkansas. Although it had a seating capacity of 14,500, records show that 13,000 spectators were on hand for the game. Skelly Field was the original name, but changed in 1947 to "Stadium" when the north end zone seats were added.
On the opening kickoff of the first game, Arkansas fumbled and end Johnny Potts recovered for Tulsa. On the first play from scrimmage Billy Boehm scored the first touchdown in the north end zone of the stadium. Later, Chet Benefiel scored the the first touchdown in the south end zone. Tulsa went on to win the contest by a score of 26-6.
Since that day, some of college football's greatest stars have graced Skelly Field. Opponents the likes of Sammy Baugh, Ollie Matson, Bob Fenimore, Walt Garrison, Gino Toretta and Keith Jackson are a few of the games' greatest to step on the Skelly Stadium turf.
Tulsa's own Glenn Dobbs in the 1940s, the passing combination of Heisman Trophy runners-up Jerry Rhome and Howard Twilley in the 1960s, reknown receivers Steve Largent and Drew Pearson in the 70s, the 1980s Palomino Express of Micheal Gunter and Ken Lacy and the stars from the 1991 Freedom Bowl Championship team thrilled Hurricane fans through the years.
In 2003, Tulsa's Humanitarian Bowl team excited fans by averaging over 37 points in six home games, while in the 75th anniversary year of Skelly Field the 2005 squad won the Conference USA Championship and advanced to a second bowl game in three years. The 2007 season saw the Hurricane put up nation-leading total offense numbers while scoring 41 points per game.
1930 - Groundbreaking ceremony for the 14,500 seat Skelly Field occurred on May 11. The first football game was played on Oct. 4, 1930 in front of a crowd of 13,000. Tulsa defeated Arkansas 26-6.
1938 - TU traded Skelly Field to the Tulsa Public Schools for the Philtower Building lot at 5th and Boston. TU began to lease the stadium from the board of education.
1947 - Lease renewal for Skelly Field was signed. The 5,000 seat north end zone stands were added and the scoreboard moved to the south end zone. Skelly Field was the original name, but changed to Skelly Stadium when the north end zone seats were added.
1953 - In August, former TU star Jim Finks played for the Pittsburgh Steelers in an exhibition game against the Chicago Bears before a crowd of 10,000.
1956 - On June 18, Evangelist Reverend Billy Graham held a one-night rally and set what was to that date a stadium record crowd of 28,000.
1960 - Newly formed American Football League entries, Houston Oilers and Dallas Texans, met in an exhibition contest in August.
1964 - The stadium corporation was reorganized and it planned to build two high school stadiums (LaFortune and McLain) in exchange for Skelly Stadium.
1965 - Skelly Stadium was enlarged to 40,235 seats at a cost of $1,250,000. The track was removed, the field lowered and box seats added. The excavated dirt was used to support the new south end zone stands. Seating was added to the west stands plus a new two-story press box, escalator and elevator. Work was completed in August.
1966 - The third story photo deck was added to the press box. Skelly Stadium turned into a baseball field for one game on May 5. The St. Louis Cardinals baseball club played their triple-A farm team, the Tulsa Oilers, in an exhibition game. The contest drew a crowd of 18,904, which saw the Cards beat Tulsa 5-4.

1972 - Tartan turf was installed in the summer months.
1977 - Professional soccer made its debut at Skelly Stadium with a preseason game.
1978 - The Tulsa Roughnecks, an NASL professional soccer team, moved into Skelly Stadium.

1993 - A new scoreboard was erected in the south end zone. It was completed just one day before the home opener on September 18.

The Case Athletic Complex opened in June 2007, less than three years after the plans were unveiled for the facility that houses Golden Hurricane football.
On November 11, 2004, University of Tulsa President Steadman Upham unveiled plans for the Case Athletic Complex to be located in the north end zone of Skelly Stadium. Excavation began on January 13, 2006
The 30,000 square foot complex was built at a cost of $10 million, and it began phase one of the renovation of Skelly Field. Phase Two will begin following the 2007 football campaign, when Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium will undergo major renovations.
The Case Athletic Complex, named for Mike Case, a developer and philanthropist who made a significant financial gift for the project, houses football coaches offices, meeting rooms, game day suites, academic support center for all student-athletes, football locker room and equipment room, athletic training room, video production suite and Lettermen's Club suite.
The new facility will provide the Tulsa football program with an exceptional every-day use facility, as well as providing all TU student-athletes with an area dedicated to academic enhancement.
"There might be a bigger place in the country, but there's not a nicer place. This building is about excellence," said Head Coach Todd Graham.
"I am both pleased and excited that I was asked to be involved in what I believe is the continuation of the resurgence of The University of Tulsa's football program," said Case at the news conference announcing the plans for the Case Athletic Complex in 2004. "This a big step toward returning Tulsa to its former days of football glory. The Case Athletic Complex will not only be a tremendous asset for coaches, staff and players, but will also be invaluable in recruiting top-notch student-athletes throughout the country."
Since that announcement in November 2004, Tulsa football has posted 19 wins, won the 2005 Conference USA Championship and has appeared in two straight bowl games.
Case added, "While Pat and I didn't graduate from The University of Tulsa, TU has become my adopted alma mater, and I have enjoyed helping the University when the need arises. Especially, when I feel the project is beneficial to the city of Tulsa. This project is one that will benefit both the University and the city." The St. Louis-based Hastings and Chivetta designed the Case Athletic Complex.
Skelly Field was built in 1930 as a 14,500-seat stadium, and was enlarged to 40,235 seats in 1965. Before the north stands were demolished in February 2005 to make way for the new building, the seating capacity was 40,385. The current seating capacity is 35,542.
Following the 2007 season, stadium renovations will begin which include new seating throughout the stadium, restrooms, new press box with luxury suites and club level seating and new scoreboard on the south side of the stadium, among other amenities. The steel structure on the stadium's west side will be removed, substantially improving the aesthetics of the facility.
On April 24, 2007, it was announced that Skelly Stadium would change to Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium. When the stadium was built in 1930, it was known as Skelly Field, until 1947 when the north end zone structure was built.
The H.A. and Mary K. Chapman Trust provided the financial gift for half of the estimated cost for renovation of the H.A. Chapman Stadium. Cost for the stadium renovation is an estimated $20 million. Trustees of the H.A. And Mary K. Chapman Trust are Donne Pitman and Jerry Dickman.

Ask every member of Corvette Racing-drivers, pit crew, engineers, technicians, or support staff-and they'll all agree on one thing: Every waking minute of every day of the entire year is spent in preparation for a single event, the 24 Heures du Mans (or, as it is called in English, the 24 Hours of Le Mans), held each June in Le Mans, France.
Perhaps it is tradition that makes Le Mans so symbolically significant to Corvette Racing. There are many difficult races and tracks throughout the season-Sebring, Laguna Seca, and Road Atlanta, among others-but Le Mans holds a certain very special place in Corvette Racing history. In 1960, Briggs Cunningham, John Fitch, and Dr. Dick Thompson brought Chevy's flagship sports car to Le Mans for the first time, and since that pivotal moment in history, 59 more Corvettes have qualified for the field at the French race.
Many stories have been written about Corvettes at Le Mans, but few, if any, have offered the reader an insider's vantage point. Of course there's no bigger insider to Corvette Racing and its current role at Le Mans than four-time Le Mans Champion Johnny O'Connell. O'Connell's career includes three American Le Mans Series (ALMS) GT1 championships; 38 career ALMS wins; the ALMS records for most starts (105), most podium finishes (80), most top-five finishes (93), and most top-10 finishes (100); and a record-setting (and still unbeaten) eight Sebring 12-hour class victories.
O'Connell allowed us backstage with Corvette Racing for the duration of the 2010 Le Mans race, so we could record his "tweets"-that is, his live comments during the race-much like a Hollywood celebrity would do for his fans via the Twitter Internet website. Of course, O'Connell couldn't chat with us when he had his right foot glued to the accelerator pedal, propelling the Corvette Racing No. 63 car around the 8.468-mile Le Mans circuit at speeds greater than 180 mph. At all other times, however, he graciously gave us his unique view of the live action. [Editor's note: We'll have a full recap of the racing action in next month's issue.]
We asked O'Connell to start "tweeting" early Saturday morning before the start of the event and continue through its 3 p.m. conclusion on Sunday. He enjoyed the assignment so much, he even kept up his commentary long after the race was over. In addition to those exclusive insights, we've included some track, paddock, and "backstage" photos to give you an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at Corvette Racing's appearance at the 2010 24 Heures du Mans.

Last week the clerk of court, property appraiser, supervisor of elections and tax collector jointly went through four hours of ethics training required under the new law, and they had mixed feelings about the training — and even the need for the law.
The seminar cost $100 per person, and about 30 attended, including officials from Gulf and
Property Appraiser Dan Sowell called the law "unnecessary" and said it wouldn't be a big motivator for officials to act ethically.
"It's just an unnecessary expense, and it's going to be a recurring expense every year," Sowell said.
The voters have all the time they need to vet elected officials during their campaigns, Sowell said. If the public doesn't feel like someone is ethical, they can vote for the other candidate, he said.
"We're ethical folks, and we understand the laws," he said.
Newly elected officials also have an orientation in
"That, to me, suffices," Sowell said.
Later, Sowell emailed an additional statement.
"While I feel the law requiring the ethics class is unnecessary, if it in some way gives citizens more confidence in their elected officials then the time invested in attending the class will have been worthwhile," he said.
Clerk of Court Bill Kinsaul echoed some of Sowell's sentiments.
"It's always good to be reminded of those things and keep it fresh in your minds, but to actually mandate it and require four hours every single year I think was probably a little much," he said.
Still, Kinsaul doesn't mind the classes and said it was convenient to have them inside the elections supervisor's office at the
"It was pretty straightforward," Kinsaul said.
Elections Supervisor Mark Andersen attended the training, which was conducted by BAYSOLUTIONS, a

"It's going to open some eyes," he said of the new rules.
Tax Collector Peggy Brannon defended the training, deeming it "absolutely" useful.

A popular Wilson tradition - the annual Thanksgiving dinner for students, staff, faculty and guests - was held Thursday, Nov. 17. Jensen Dining Hall was packed and the mood was fun and festive. Guests feasted on roast turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, green beans and of course, pumpkin pie. Students spontaneously broke into Song Wars following the meal and many lingered long after to chat and visit with fellow Wilson community members. And, true to tradition, the uneaten portions of turkey at each table were divided up among guests, who took the leftovers home to enjoy later.

A 12-part comic book series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons.< read all 31 reviews
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic book limited series created by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins. The series was published by DC Comics during 1986 and 1987, and has been subsequently reprinted into a collected graphic novel. Watchmen originated from a story proposal Moore submitted to DC featuring superhero characters that the company had acquired from Charlton Comics. As Moore's proposed story would have left many of the characters unusable for future stories, managing editor Dick Giordano convinced the writer to create original characters instead.
Moore used the story as a means to reflect contemporary anxieties and to critique the superhero concept. Watchmen takes place on an alternate history Earth where superheroes emerged in the 1940s and 1960s, helping the United States to win the Vietnam War. The country is edging closer to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, freelance costumed vigilantes have been outlawed and most costumed superheroes are in retirement or working for the government. The story focuses on the personal development and struggles of the protagonists as an investigation into the murder of a government sponsored superhero pulls them out of retirement.
Creatively, the focus of Watchmen is on its structure. Gibbons used a nine-panel grid layout throughout the series and added recurring symbols such as a blood-stained smiley. All but the last issue feature supplemental fictional documents that add to the series' ...

"Trying to serve three different causes — my family, my business that pays the bills and the Legislature — was just more than I could really do well in," Patronis said. "I knew, first and foremost, being a good dad and a good husband needs to be my priorities."
Patronis, 41, said eight years of commitment to public office is "enough at this time."
His son will turn 5 years old today and he said it's things like that which put everything in perspective.
"I don't want to miss another day of [my kids'] development," Patronis said.
But the decision was made more than a month ago, in mid-to-late May, Patronis said.
"I had made my mind up and just got more and more comfortable with the decision and got more and more content that I was making the right decision," he said.
Patronis said he changed his cellphone number in May and suddenly realized how much of his life was tied up in his public service.
"Taking a little bit more control of my personal time has been more rewarding than I thought it would be. I realize what I've been missing," he said.
Patronis said he spoke with
"I made it clear. I said my only entry into politics over the next two years is to just do everything humanly possible to make sure Steve Southerland and
Patronis is on his fourth term in the state House and is term limited. He was running for the state Senate seat currently held by Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, who is term limited and cannot run again in 2016.
Patronis was the first to hop in the Senate race, but was joined in May by Gaetz's son, state Rep. Matt Gaetz,
Though Matt Gaetz waited until after the 2013 legislative session was over, his actions during the session led many to speculate about his ambitions on his father's seat. He often sparred with Patronis — in committee hearings and on the House floor — which led many to anticipate a bitter 2016 primary race.
Patronis didn't reference Matt Gaetz specifically, but said: "There's plenty of good people that will have their opportunity to serve and make a difference."
Contacted Monday, Matt Gaetz said he was not aware Patronis was pulling out. He heaped praise on what likely have would been his biggest foe in the 2016 race.
"Jimmy Patronis has spent seven sessions fighting for the people of
"I expect that will continue if I have the opportunity to serve in the Senate."
Asked if Patronis' decision came as a relief, he dismissed the question.
"I'd probably prefer to talk about the race for the Senate tomorrow. Today's the day about Jimmy Patronis and about his legacy of service," Matt Gaetz said.
Less than half an hour after Patronis made his announcement public,
"Rep. Patronis has been an incredible ally in our mission to improve the quality of life for families in the
He added: "I look forward to continuing to work with Jimmy as we fight to create more jobs and opportunities for

Patronis may return to public life sometime in the future.
"If the opportunity comes back again where the Lord thinks it's the right thing for me to do and the family's supportive, then, well, I'll contemplate it, but right now my place is going to be right here in
Conceivably, though, Patronis could jump back into the Senate race next summer and pick up where he left off — and he didn't totally rule it out.
"The likelihood of me getting back in this, I think, is very slim and remote," Patronis said.
His quick exit also leaves what is likely in excess of $100,000 in campaign funds without a purpose. Second-quarter campaign fundraising numbers have not been released yet, but Patronis pulled in more than $90,000 in the first quarter.
Patronis said he didn't know how much he raised in the second quarter but it would be less because he stopped fundraising after he made his decision. Some of the money has been spent and some will cover outstanding bills, but the rest will go back to the donors, Patronis said.
"All those dollars were given to me in order to campaign for state Senate. The only right thing to do is return back everything I got at a pro-rata share," he said.

Apple iPod nano pictures and hands-on
Apple has reinvented its iPod nano for the seventh generation of the minute media player. Gone is the square form factor, and in its place is the first widescreen multi-touch display in the gadget's history.
When picked up, while not fragile, the new iPod nano does feel tiny and very light. There's plenty of technology crammed into its teeny body, but not at the sacrifice of style.
New for this year, the nano now sports Bluetooth, which allows it to connect to speaker docks and wireless headphones. There's also the new "Lightning" dock connector as found on the also announced iPhone 5.
Video playback has returned to the nano range, with the 2.5-inch display capable of showing footage in its native aspect ratio. And Apple has included a FM radio tuner, with radio shows able to be paused in mid-stream.
Perhaps the best inclusion, however, is a built-in pedometer, for apps like Nike+ to use. As with earlier nanos, the fitness market will be one of the major fields for the 7th-gen model. And it's certainly light enough and thin enough (just 5.4mm thick) to be secreted easily about the body when working out. Not like the last version, which fitted on to a watch strap, but close.
The iPod nano will be available from October in seven different colours. It'll cost £129 with 16GB of internal storage.

I think I have an idea on how to do this, but I'm not entirely sure.
I've got a WHS setup, but I'd like the ability to plug in a HDD (containing a win 7 install) and it automatically boot from that disk whenever it's plugged in. I have a HP MicroServer and if I set the disk to be boot priority 1 in the BIOS and then subsequently remove it, the next time it's inserted it will be the lowest priority.
However, the USB ports always have top priority, so I was thinking of being able to simply plug in a USB memory pen at the same time as when I plug my Win 7 install in - and that having a bootloader on there that is preconfigured to boot that specific HDD.
Am I right in thinking I need to use something like GRUB on the USB stick, and set it up as such so it looks for that specific disk's identifier?

Fun Italian facts about the language, culture and history
The Italian language is internationally known as the language of music; words such as prima donna, mezzosoprano, opera, and piano have become part of the vernacular for musicians and music lovers across the globe. Food lovers are also, perhaps unwittingly, familiar with Italian words. Can you say café latté, pasta, or pizza? In 1889, King Umberto I and Queen Margherita went to Naples. The best pizzaiolo (pizza-maker) at the time was asked to make pizza for the visiting royals. He prepared his creation with foods that represented the Italian flag: green basil, white mozzarella, and red tomato sauce. The queen liked it so much that she thanked him in writing, after which the pizza was named Pizza Margherita.
The origin of the Italian language
Speaking of vernacular, the Italian language originated from what's known as Vulgar Latin; which in this case refers to the spoken vernacular of the people in the Latin-speaking Rome of the 7th and 8th centuries. It was this "vulgar language" and its gradual spread through Europe along with the Roman Empire that lead to the creation of all Romance languages we know and love today, including French, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Information about search of auto dealership still scarceBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | January 24,2013BENNINGTON An attorney representing Thomas Lyons has requested that a search warrant executed Monday at Lyons home and his business, Bennington Subaru, be sealed and Judge Cortland Corsones took the request under advisement Wednesday.
Law enforcement officials are not discussing why they searched the home and the business or what they found. More information could be found in the search warrant, which is expected to include information about any items the police confiscated, if items were confiscated, and an affidavit explaining the reason for the search.
However, David Silver, a Bennington attorney, filed a motion on Tuesday asking that the warrants be sealed.
On Wednesday, Corsones heard arguments on the request from Silver who said the judge had the power to seal the warrant if there was a showing of a substantial threat to the interests of effective law enforcement or individual privacy and safety.
An affidavit like this ... doesnt have to be based on admissible evidence. It can be based on hearsay. In fact, this one is based on hearsay and sometimes double-hearsay and triple-hearsay, he said.
While Silver said that a substantial threat to privacy is not defined under Vermont law, he said that whatever the threshold is, this affidavit under these circumstances, meets that threshold and goes far beyond it.
Silver did not give specific examples. Before he made his argument, he requested permission to make a sealed argument over specific allegations in the affidavit, arguing that it would not make sense to make an argument before the press about information he was asking be sealed.
Corsones agreed and cleared the courtroom temporarily.
However, in public, Silver described Lyons as a prominent and visible member of this community, who owns a business and has served on the board of directors for the Bennington Area Chamber of Commerce and the Bennington Museum.
The damage would not only be to his reputation but his ability to make a living and to maintain his dealership, Silver said.
Silver said the information should especially not be released before the states attorneys office had decided whether or not charges would be filed and what those charges might be.
Corsones interrupted to say that he believed the warrants would be a public record even if charges were not filed but Silver said under those circumstances, he would be back before the court making a similar argument.
According to Silver, Lyons would have no forum to reply to the allegations in the affidavit during the many, many months its going to take to get all the forensics evidence evaluated.
Christina Rainville, the Bennington County states attorneys chief deputy, had filed a motion on Tuesday asking that the judge either seal the third of three warrants or redact information about it because that warrant had not yet been served. On Wednesday, Rainville said the state was taking no position on the public release of the information and made no argument.
After the hearing, Bennington County States Attorney Erica Marthage explained that by Wednesday afternoon, all three warrants had been served.
Marthage said she couldnt make any comment on the details of the investigation.

Thanks for all the quilt love guys. I know I've said it before but it means a lot! And to answer to some of your questions, it was made with one jelly roll + 6 extra strips of fabric. The one jelly roll was only enough for 26 blocks, and I needed 30. Also…I decided to close my etsy shop. I've had some of you notice already and I've recieved some What the? emails in my inbox. Mostly I'm closing it because we are moving to Seattle for a bit, and our summer is nuts. I may post the occasional quilt here and there since I only have 1 child and a baby quilt addiction. But for now, I'm closing it. So if you need a baby quilt, mine are on mega clearance till their gone. Unless I keep them for my 1 child.
So on to this colorful skirt. We have an awesome thrift store here where everything is 50% off Monday's. There are LOTS of interesting people there, if ya know what I mean. (like a lady who forgot to wear a shirt…….no joke, and her bra definitely wasn't doing its job) But also there are lots of treasures to be found. This tablecloth came from the Monday sale, but really I bought it to make a pattern with so I didn't have to cut up anything expensive. It was meant to look like this pattern.
Also here is Michelle's block for June's PTQB. She wanted traditional, so an Amish star seemed appropriate.

Tributes to popular Cockermouth tradesman George
Last updated at 20:31, Thursday, 15 March 2012
A well-known Cockermouth painter and decorator has died after losing a two-year battle with bowel cancer.
George Starkie, 60, of Vicarage Lane, died on February 26.
His funeral took place on March 2 at Distington Crematorium and was attended by about 400 people.
The Rev Ken Kitchin said that Mr Starkie was "a loving husband and an irreplaceable dad".
Mr Starkie was born in Workington and was son of the late Annie Starkie, who ran the Black Cock pub in Eaglesfield, near Cockermouth, until her death last year.
He grew up in Eaglesfield and attended Paddle School and then Derwent School, Cockermouth.
He joined the merchant navy at the age of 15 and travelled the world, and then he became a milkman.
At 17 he started his own painting and decorating business, initially knocking door to door to get work, but it grew by word of mouth and he had customers as far away as Penrith.
He met his wife Dot through a job at the Bridge Hotel at Buttermere in 1977 and took her to an Italian restaurant in Carlisle for a first date after doing a trial run with his mother the week before.
They had a son Adam in 1987 and married in 1988 at Cockermouth Register Office.
They then moved around Cockermouth and the surrounding area, starting in Greysouthen before going to a bed and breakfast in Crown Street, then moving to Rose Lane, Brigham, Eaglesfield and finally Vicarage Lane.
Mr Starkie was a very fit man and was a keen sailor, cyclist and fell walker, an avid follower of rugby and read a lot about history but he was diagnosed with bowel cancer two years ago.
Mrs Starkie said: "It was a big shock when you think how healthy he was because he didn't smoke or drink.
"However, he was extremely positive throughout the whole thing which did help me."
Mrs Starkie said it was her husband's character that made him so popular with friends and customers.
She said: "He was a good worker and very easy going.
"He would always offer that extra value and most of his customers became his friends which is why we have had around 300 cards from people who knew him.
"He was very pleasant, thoughtful and would do anything for anybody.
"He had time for everybody and he could speak to any person and it didn't matter what background they were from."
Mr Kitchin added: "He faced the disease in his usual and optimistic way. He faced it with courage and with gratitude for all who cared for him.
"George was first and foremost a family man. He looked after his mother and he was a good and faithful son to her.
"He was a loving husband and best friend to Dorothy and an irreplaceable dad to Adam with whom he had a very special and close friendship.
"George was known as a man who had a great sense of humour, was thoughtful, kind and caring and never had a bad word to say."
Mr Starkie's friend George Davison paid tribute to him at his funeral.
He said: "The word character is often used too readily but George was a character in the truest sense of the word. I doubt whether we will see the likes of him again.
"He had time for a crack with anyone and made an impression on everyone he came into contact with.
"He was generous in mind and spirit but with a wicked sense of fun.
"An eternal optimist he was always willing to try something new with enthusiasm.
"Dot had her work cut out trying to keep him under control but she is the best thing that could have happened to him.
