Unverified Voracity Consumes Human Flesh
Alcorn State, home of the epigram. Terry Bowden's latest column for Yahoo starts with this accurate, bizarre explanation of college football from a former Alcorn State head coach Marino Casem:
"In the East, college football is a cultural exercise.
On the West Coast, it is a tourist attraction.
In the Midwest, it is cannibalism.
But in the South, college football is a religion, and every Saturday is a holy day."
Emphasis mine, because !?!?!?!. Mr. Casem's been spending too much time around Ohio State fans.
Tick tock. Michael Shaw is one of the Michigan recruits participating in the annual Big 33 game, a high-school all-star game played between Ohio and Pennsylvania. There has been some mild controversy (read: AAAARGH DESTROY MICHIGAN) about Shaw's last-second switch to the Wolverines after being a Penn State commit for about six months. PennLive talked to Shaw about what went down:
Michael Shaw heard the complaints over his last-minute change of heart to attend Michigan instead of Penn State.
Sometimes, the 18-year-old running back from Trotwood, Ohio wishes he hadn't.
"I just want to be 18," Shaw said during Thursday's Big 33 youth clinic. "It was probably the biggest decision of my life. I lost so much sleep, but at the same time, I mean, nothing is guaranteed. If it was guaranteed ... it would be signed on paper instead of a verbal commitment."
And how about yet another nail in the "snake oil" coffin? Sure, at this point the coffin is about 98% nails, but we've still got two percent left:
Michigan and Lloyd Carr stayed in contact with Shaw after he verbally committed to Penn State, inviting him to Ohio State-Michigan and a few other games.
[don't read the next one if you don't want a Top Chef Spoiler. Weirdo.]
Good at things. The guy who's leading the US Open went to Michigan (via). And so did the most recent Top Chef winner. And so did Jesus.* Awesome!
Hail Toledo. Ever since the NCAA hockey tournament went to sixteen teams and four regionals, the CCHA has been perilously close to getting screwed by the committee; this year it happened when there were no acceptable bids in the conference's territory and, as a result, the top two seeds in the tournament got shipped to Albany and Madison. Lame. The problem is two-fold: though the NCAA apparently has no problem putting regionals on Colorado College's home ice -- an Olympic sheet at altitude -- Michigan's back-to-back Yost regionals caused a massive backlash and Michigan's been unable to host since. Other than Munn, which for some inexplicable reason MSU has been loathe to bid with, there are no appropriately sized rinks in the area save for Van Andel in Grand Rapids. Western hosts there about every other year, but the NCAA doesn't want it hosting all the time. Thus last year's fiasco.
Help is on the way. Western College Hockey points to the Lucas County Arena, which is being erected in Toledo as we speak and will be ready for 2009. Bowling Green has already submitted a regionals bid at the arena. It'll be brand new, it's centrally located, and relatively convenient to get to -- Toledo has an airport and NWA hub Detroit Metro is 45 minutes away. It should be a regular NCAA tourney host, and hopefully a regular stop for Michigan fans.
Speaking of: Michigan has bids in for Yost in the coming years, too... maybe they should bid at this place? You host, you get to stay home. It's silly for the CCHA to have Western and BG bid only to see those teams not make the field.
Etc.: Paul DePodesta has a blogspot blog and it's pretty smart; this post is about dissasociating outcome from process and it heavily reflects my worldview. There is a class action lawsuit pending against EA claiming they have unfairly monopolized licenses for football games; godspeed, lawsuit guys.
Saban's Still Evil
I wonder how 'Bama is doing with the ol' recruiting class? Earlier this summer MGoBlog got in a poo-flinging contest with every Alabama fan with internet access about Nick Saban's massive oversigning. It ranged hence and forth and left deep scars in the land that will become the cyber-Great Lakes in several thousand years. And now, sadly, it's time to carve out cyber-Huron.
The situation, to recap:
- Fifteen scholarship seniors saw their eligibility expire this year; Saban signed 32 players.
- Two enrolled early, leaving Alabama with a maximum incoming class of 27.
- Depending on exactly what, when, and who you listen to, the Tide have to cut about six guys before fall. On April 17th, SMQB noted 64 returning players on the Tide roster and declared the number to be four, but he forgot about the two early enrollees; the number at that point was six.
- A reserve offensive lineman took a medical scholarship sometime after that.
- A couple days ago the seemingly plugged-in Bama Sports Report made it 63, leaving five guys to get the axe. (Link via Get The Picture.) At the end of their piece they note:
Considering that two players (Zeke Knight & Lionel Mitchell) missed the majority of the spring due to injuries, and one player (Prince Hall) is suspended indefinetly, the numbers appear to be very, very close to working themselves out.
Knight has had a scary time with heart murmurs and would be a legit absence, but Mitchell has had some minor back issues that didn't even prevent him from participating in practice. He spent the spring in a non-contact jersey, but he played. A medical scholarship for him would be dubious.
So... close to working itself out? No. Remove Knight from the equation and assume none of the recruits who aren't on campus yet ("schools also can make it so some player doesn't qualify if they don't need him to" -Bruce Feldman) make it in, and Alabama is two scholarships over. If they do reach the 25 maximum, they're four scholarships over.
Around these parts, being two to four players away from reaching the scholarship limit of 85 on June 13th is not close at all. Even if you give Alabama the benefit of the doubt and assume every one of the mountain of medical scholarships they've given out is totally legit*, it's mid-June and Alabama is in the precarious position of hoping that some their players don't make the grade or get into serious trouble.
My prediction: This will "work out," as the Bama Sports Report suggests. There are probably several Alabama players who are taking summer classes to remain eligible, and exactly enough will find out they didn't make it. Or someone will come down with "ow my thing hurts." Or Prince Hall won't live up to Nick Saban's strict standards. Which will be just terribly convenient, and the 'Bama-bots will crow and everyone who's heard of Occam's Razor will look at a recruiting class that needed an incredible twelve players to leave the team between its signing and fall practice and shake their heads.
As SMQB pointed out in his April post, Alabama and Clemson are the only schools in the country to have put themselves in this position, and Clemson fixed their issues by cutting Ray Ray McElrathbey. They got the public whipping they deserved for that, and it should be Alabama's turn.
Schools should never be allowed to do this again. Alabama is in a position where they are rooting for kids to leave the team, and that will necessarily bias their actions and judgments in favor of shipping a kid off to Alcorn State. The NCAA must implement a simple rule: no oversigning. You show where the scholarship is coming from or no LOI for you.
*(Not likely, IMO, since many of the medicals were given to backup linemen with vague injuries like "knee problems" or "ow my shoulder sorta hurts" or "ow my shoulder too"; these guys were probably told they were cut and to take the scholarship and deal. How many backup offensive linemen could you offer medical scholarships to? 80%?**)
**(It's worth noting that Michigan gave two of its offensive linemen medical scholarships this offseason. This 1) reinforces point about just how many linemen you could put on medical scholarship and 2) will probably be seized upon by some irate 'Bama fan. The difference: Michigan enters the year with 79 scholarship players and at no time would not have had room on the roster should they want to return.)

Unverified Voracity Challenges You To A Duel
It is for quiz. Clay Travis throws down the gauntlet to blog-bashers in his latest CBS Sportsline piece:
Five bloggers that have agreed to participate will take on a team of five of the most talented, educated and intelligent mainstream sportswriters that are willing to compete against them. Hopefully the roster will feature at least a few of the recent blogger insulters (Bob Costas, Buzz Bissinger, Rick Reilly, Michael Wilbon) you name the mainstream media members who are willing and there's a blogging team ready to play them for charity.
And, as a bonus, we'll let the captain of the mainstream media team select a charity they would like to raise money for. So, for example, if he's willing to participate, we would be happy to send all the proceeds to fund more of Reilly's mosquito nets in Africa. In fact it would be ideal if Reilly, given his frequent and vituperative criticism of sports bloggers and his new boffo column deal, was willing to put together his own team. Even if Reilly's not a member of the mainstream media we'll be willing to let him join.
There's more, including a brief section on yrs truly, one of the distinguished panelists. If anyone who's taken a shot at blogs is reading this, 1) your father was a hamster and your mother smells of elderberries and 2) seriously, step up to the plate. Money goes to a good cause and I can't answer any questions except those about my mother's basement. (Example Q: who did you cut open during the Great Lego Battle of Thanksgiving 2005? A: Tom.) You will wipe the floor with us. I can barely spell.
O ZOMBIE RLY? Penn State fans are super-excited that they've raided Maryland something wicked in this recruiting cycle, but, uh...
|Eric Shrive
|Scranton, PA
|Darrell Givens
|Indian Head, MD
|Sean Stanley
|Gaithersburg, MD
|Brandon Felder
|Oxon Hill, MD
|Ty Howle
|Bunn, NC

|Stephen Obeng-Agyapong
|Bronx, NY
|Malcolm Willis
|Indian Head, MD
|Curtis Drake
|Philadelphia, PA
|Frank Figueroa
|Alexandria, VA
...is this recruiting to be excited about? Dominating Maryland football recruiting is like doing a killer job finding hockey players in Ohio.
Shrive's their only top 100 recruit and of their 12 commits only three have four stars. This looks exactly like 2008, when they had one non-linebacker pick up four stars, or 2005, when the Justin King-Derrick Williams duo overshadowed a class long on signees (19) but short on talent (only four of them got more than three stars. Penn State has gone back to its recruiting style from the early portion of the decade, when they would lock up a host of marginal prospects -- "QB" recruit Curtis Drake's only other offer was from Northwestern -- early.
You can get away with that stuff here and there when you uncover a diamond in the rough -- talented if somewhat asshatted DT Chris Baker was a two-star, Braylon Edwards, all those anonymous guys from Ohio State's secondary -- but in general you either recruit like a national contender or you don't, and Penn State isn't.
If you believe recruiting rankings matter (and you should), Penn State's lining itself up for more of the same. This is a complete list of offensive skill position players with more than three stars acquired since 2006:
Chris Bell(off the team after machete incident)
- Pat Devlin
- Andrew Quarless (hanging by a thread, their Carson Butler)
- Brent Carter
- Brandon Beachum
Michael Shaw(snake oil enthusiast)
That's one QB, one TE, and two RBs in three and a half classes; Michigan has locked down that many four star skill position recruits in the 2009 class. I think I might harp on this a bit more than I should, but this article in the Inquirer set me off. It unrealistically portrays everything as hunky-dory in Penn State land, when I, and most other Michigan fans, would be freaking out given the last four years of results on the field and in the star realm. Hell, I'm still a little freaked out about this year's class, and it features seven four-stars amongst nine recruits so far.
Ohio State? Killing it. They are not going away, not like you expected them to.
Assistant to the. Fluff on Mike Debord has this paragraph embedded:
DeBord was a candidate to replace Lloyd Carr as the head coach at the University of Michigan, and when that did not pan out, he opted to take a job as assistant offensive line coach for the Seattle Seahawks.
I was also a candidate to replace Lloyd Carr but opted to not wear pants.
I drive a Benzing. Spectacularly named new MLive author "Philip Zaroo" provides a post detailing John Beilein's latest appearance on WTKA:
"Robin would only be an emergency center/big man type of kid," Beilein said. "He's a straight-out forward. He could play either the three or the four at 6-10 1/2.
The comparison always made is Dirk Nowitski, so expect him to hang out on the perimeter a bunch. Most expect Benzing will have to sit out 2008 after playing on a professional team (but not getting paid) in Germany.
Dude. Sporting News is re
launching, and amongst their new contributors:
Lloyd Carr and the Legends Football Coaching Association
See a different game with Michigan's Lloyd Carr, UCLA's Terry Donahue, Alabama's Gene Stallings and dozens of famous college football contributors.
Hopefully he writes a media-crit column.
Etc: UMTailgate takes a look back at Moellergate; Tim from VB 1) fell four stories, 2) isn't dead, 3) has a broken spine. But he's answering mailbag questions. Hardcore. (FYI: this QB we've offered is 2010.) Michigan has not one top 25 vote across ten preseason polls.
Pateryn Opening Update
A couple sources are suggesting Michigan fans breathe easy about this potential academic casualty on the hockey team. Michigan Hockey Net:
Not true, according to a source who said there are not going to be any departures from the hockey program due to academic reasons. He did confirm Pateryn will join this fall, but "it's not because we need him to fill a roster spot of a player not performing well in the classroom."
As of now, no one is out. Red made a comment to Blais about bringing Pateryn this year more as a precaution than a realization that they're going to lose someone. There are a few kids that are not stellar students, but as of this morning there had been no academic causalities. Mitera and Summers are definitely coming back. Pacioretty we're still awaiting word on but feel confident he will return.
Spath would later add that everyone should "relax" and there's "no need to panic," with an explanation pending in Rivals' premium Inside The Fort on Thursday.
I'm still a little leery. I doubt Pateryn would want to give up a year of eligibility to be the eighth defenseman, and I doubt Michigan would want him to spend a critical development year getting scratched. On the surface it makes little sense to bring him in this year unless someone taking a regular shift is departing. We'll see. The one scenario that does make sense: Pateryn is sick of waiting and wants to go to college now.

Well since I am a dude, I would ask him WTF he was doing!
Seriously consider quiting drinking
Go back to sleep
Pickup up my bass and jam
Say good morning and ask if he wanted some breakfast
It would just depend on what I had in the fridge really.
'Who the hell are you?'... 'Where the hell am I?'...
Enjoy the show, and give whichever friend sent him the biggest thank you ever. :)
After wrapping the guitar around his neck, ask him to leave. NOBODY disturbs my sleep.
Get my drum kit out
Smoke some weed... he seems nice.
of course i'm not stingy lol
Probably yell and jump out of bed like I do whenever someone walks into my room, then stare at him until he leaves.
Offer him a beer and start jamming.
If he was better than me, I'd probably hit him in the face and steal his guitar. If not I'd play along. Later, I'd wonder what he was doing there - but it would probably take me hours to consider that.
I can be massively unfazed by a lot of things haha. I'm also quite accepting of the fact that I have terrible memory.
Haha! xD
Beat him with that guitar
Stroke his c.....er ahh....guitar......whew!
i would be scared then ill scream for help
it would let him strum or finger pick my strings
Listen to him play ,smile at him and then i'll ask him to sing sweetly to me as i sleep i love a man that can sing.
id check to see if my butt was violated lol then kick his *** lol
Blow my frickin brains out

Laurence Reisman: Q&A with P.J. O'Rourke: Potential GOP presidential candidates, National Lampoon's legacy and more
Born in Toledo, Ohio
Attended Miami University, Ohio, and Johns Hopkins University
Editor-in-chief of National Lampoon
Reporter for newspapers and magazines, including The Atlantic Monthly, Rolling Stone, The Weekly Standard
Latest book, "Don't Vote It Just Encourages the Bastards," is his 15th.
Quote du jour: "Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys."
"With more than a million words of trenchant journalism under his byline and more citations in The Penguin Dictionary of Humorous Quotations than any other living writer, P.J. O'Rourke has established himself as America's premier political satirist," according to the writer's online biography.
Treasure Coast residents will get their opportunity to see if the conservative pundit can come up with another recordable quotation at 4 and 7 p.m. Jan. 15 as the Emerson Center in Vero Beach kicks off its Celebrated Speakers Series.
Recently, after reading his latest book, "Don't Vote It Just Encourages the Bastards," I e-mailed O'Rourke a few questions.
Q: You point out that Adam Smith predicted the 2008 financial meltdown — 232 years before it happened, in Book II, chapter 1 of "The Wealth of Nations." You see any of Smith's other warnings coming true anytime soon?
A: Smith was an early advocate of government-issued paper money — as a cheaper and more efficient means of payment than gold and silver coins. But he also issued an early warning about what would happen if government-issued paper money lost all relationship to anything of measurable value. Today we call that problem the Euro. Tomorrow we may be calling it the dollar.
Q: The vast majority of local bureaucrats here, including politicians, say they never have enough money to do what they want. What message would you send to them if you owned property here?
A: How much is enough? While researching "Don't Vote, " I discovered that my local school district's budget for this year is $43,698,819. We have 3,151 students in the school district. That's $13,868 per student — almost $4,000 more per year than it costs us to send our child to private school.
Q: Who is the Republicans' next, best hope as a presidential candidate in 2012? Why?
A: The best Republican candidate for 2012 would be someone who has had executive branch experience in a two-party state. An example would be Mitch Daniels, governor of Indiana. The state was in bad financial shape when he was elected in 2004. Daniels managed painful cuts with such grace and style that he was re-elected by a greater margin in 2008 even though (Barack) Obama carried Indiana. Another good thing bout Mitch Daniels is that I've been waiting all my life for a president who's shorter than I am.
Q: What do Republicans have to do over the next two years to win the presidency in 2012?
A: Explain. A conservative political platform takes a lot of explaining. A liberal platform doesn't. The liberal platform is, "the government will give you more things." The conservative platform is, "the government will give you less." That's a hard sell, and it takes some explaining. Ronald Reagan could do it. Think of how Reagan explained the Hurricane Katrina response (long before it happened) to the residents of New Orleans: "The 10 most dangerous words in the English language are 'I'm from the federal government and I'm here to help.' "
Q: What do Democrats have to do over the next two years to win the presidency in 2012?
A: Quit explaining. If the programs and policies that they've put into action are the right programs and policies, they shouldn't need explanation. Their merits should be self-evident.
Q: Looking back, almost 40 years later, what do you think National Lampoon's legacy is? How did it change society?
A: Bad, alas. We were the first commercial enterprise to succeed with (smart-aleck) adolescent nihilism, and now the world of popular culture is filled with almost nothing but (smart-aleck) adolescent nihilism from "South Park" to WikiLeaks. I'm sorry. I take it all back.
Q: Who was the best reporter or editor you ever worked with? Why?
A: Mike Kelly, editor of The Atlantic Monthly until he was killed in the Iraq War in 2003. He was a great writer himself and had the capacity to make you a great writer, too, by knowing what you were best at and sending you to do it. He had guts to spare — covered the first Gulf War from the Iraqi side, went into battle with the 3rd Infantry Division in the second Gulf War and died during the assault on the Baghdad airport. He was smart without being (smart-alecky), had the enthusiasm of adolescence but not its idiocy and was hard-boiled but never let his skepticism slide into cynicism.
Q: You're often described as one of the most quoted contemporary humorists. Do you have any quotable remarks about Vero Beach or the Treasure Coast in general that our readers can cite at their next party?
A: I'm a 63-year-old with a great big car that I drive at 20 mph — you'll never catch me making wisecracks about Vero Beach. I'm planning to retire there. Although my wife says, "Retire from what?"
What: P.J. O'Rourke opens the Celebrated Speakers Series

Problem installing NVIDIA driver in Debian Linux
I am trying to install NVIDIA drivers for a GeForce 6200 using Debian Linux.
When I try (sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1.run) I get a message about exiting Xserver.
I have the nvidia-xconfig-1.0.tar.gz but don't know how to use it.
Any help would be appreciated;
Re: Problem installing NVIDIA driver in Debian Linux
reposting this in the linux section will get you more help. That said (I don't know your level of experience, mines low)
X-server is your graphical interface. log in and open a terminal and log in as root.
"init 3" will kill your X in debian(minus quotes of course)
Run your sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1.run
Then either do "init 5" or "startx" to bring your gui back up.
I think the nvidiaxconfig is installed with the 9746's, open that and set your resolution, apply and save to xorg.conf.
If after a reboot your gui doesn't come up, log in as root, do "nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" to open your xorg.conf, search for the driver section and change "nvidia" to "nv", this should give you your gui back, trouble shoot from there. Good luck with it!

TowneBank Enters Resort Property Management Field With Acquisition of Two Quality Outer Banks Firms
January 03, 2008
News Release
For more information contact:
G. Robert Aston, Chairman and CEO, 638-6780
Suffolk, Va. - TowneBank has today signed an agreement to purchase the assets of Corolla Classic Vacations and Corolla Real Estate, both located in Corolla, North Carolina. The transaction is expected to close in early January 2008.
"Earlier this year we began searching for a quality resort property management/realty company as the next step in our strategy to develop a larger presence in the Outer Banks," says G. Robert Aston, Chairman of TowneBank, headquartered in Portsmouth, Virginia. "The Outer Banks is a natural extension of the Hampton Roads market in which we operate. We were enormously impressed not only by these companies' performance, but by Denise K. Graham, Eddie Kavanaugh, and Malissa Suggs, who founded them in 2000 and 2001. These organizations provide high touch service for several hundred of the most distinctive resort properties in the Corolla area." Graham, Kavanaugh, and Suggs will remain in their current positions, as will Debbie Price, Broker-in-Charge with Corolla Real Estate. "We look forward to a long association with both the owners of the companies and all their employees," says Aston.
For TowneBank, the opportunity to add both a strong real estate and property management firm at the same time creates opportunities for lending and insurance business for its other affiliated companies that are growing their customer base in northeastern North Carolina. "Since we have limited experience in resort property management, we entered into this purchase mainly because Denise, Eddie, and Malissa have agreed to continue to run the companies just as they have since their beginning," says Aston. "We look forward to a long association with both the owners of the companies and all their employees."
TowneBank hopes to help generate more rentals for property owners by cross marketing to the bank's existing 40,000+ member base in Hampton Roads. Additionally, Towne plans on further developing Corolla Classic Vacations' and Corolla Real Estate's technology and providing the capital to expand and modernize facilities and equipment.
"We thoroughly investigated Towne before we agreed to partner with them," says Denise Graham. "Towne's philosophy is just like ours," adds Eddie Kavanaugh. "We both put service and respect for employees first, and everything else tends to work successfully when you
start from that point."
As one of Virginia's top community banks, TowneBank now operates 17 banking offices in Chesapeake, Hampton, Portsmouth, Newport News, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Williamsburg and York County. Towne also offers a full range of financial services through its controlled divisions and subsidiaries that include Towne Investment Group, Towne Insurance Agency, TFA Benefits, TowneBank Mortgage, TowneBank Commercial Mortgage and GSH Real Estate Corporation. Through its strategic partnership with William E. Wood and Associates the bank also offers mortgage services in 21 of Wood's offices in Hampton Roads and Northeastern North Carolina. Local decision-making is a hallmark of its hometown banking strategy that is delivered through the leadership of each group's President and Board of Directors.
With total assets of $2.48 billion as of September 30, 2007, TowneBank is the largest bank headquartered in Hampton Roads.

Mistaking symptoms for causes
- By Kori SchakeKori Schake is a fellow at the Hoover Institution and contributor to Foreign Policy's Shadow Government blog.
Obama administration counterterrorism official John Brennan was out on the hustings yesterday trying to once again get the administration credit for what they're not doing. In this case, it was to foster the illusion that the administration is actively exploring options for intervening in Syria's civil war. "Various options that are being talked about … are things that the United States government has been looking at very carefully, trying to understand the implications, trying to understand the advantages and disadvantages of this." This is little enough seventeen months into a popular uprising against one of the world's worst governments. Italians gave us the concept of festina lente, to hurry up slowly; the Obama administration wants to laurel itself for boldly acting cautiously.
But Brennan's comments are also illustrative for how they characterize the problem in Syria. While at pains to pretend the Obama administration is considering no-fly zones to prevent the Syrian military from killing civilians in refugee camps — although the administration seems comfortable enough with the Syrian military killing civilians in their homes — Brennan attested that the administration is "quite busy making sure that we're able to do everything possible that's going to advance the interests of peace in Syria and not, again, do anything that's going to contribute to more violence." That's incredibly revealing: the administration believes that violence is the problem, not the injustice and repression the regime of Bashir al-Assad is imposing on its long-suffering population.
The Obama administration seems not to understand that violence has political causes, and that "preventing violence" only reinforces the grip of those in power. They are diagnosing symptoms, not diseases. As no less a source than Elie Wiesel said, "we must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." The Obama administration applauds itself for "new pragmatism." That should be called what it is: a studied neutrality to the claims of a people against their government, an even-handedness between repressors and repressed.

Top 5 successful and inspiring pro bloggers
It was almost 10 days that I haven't come up with an article. Really bad, huh. So, today I'm going to share about my top 5 successful pro bloggers who are inspiring newbies with their knowledgeable resources. They even motivated me with their videos, blogs, podcasts, newsletters and interviews. I hope they inspire you too.
1. Lisa Irby
Lisa Irby is one of the successful pro bloggers in the World. She is very much active and popular on Youtube. In my pre learning days I use to watch her videos and got inspired. I was dreaming to succeed as a blogger and internet marketer like her. It is my honor to write about my first guru. She owns 2createawebsite, Flat Stomach Exercises, Marketing channel and Programming channel. She always helps people with videos and responses who are struggling with blogging, WordPress, monetization and Internet marketing.
She unhesitatingly nails if someone is going in a wrong way. For instance get rich quick schemes. She would educate people not to get attracted to these programs and rather emphasize more on content. I think she is successful because of her humbleness and down-to-earth nature.
"If there's one thing I learned about this journey is you have to do something you are passionate about."
2. Ana Hoffman
Ana Hoffman is a Russian born Internet Entrepreneur settled in US. She started her blogging journey in 2009 and in the early days like any other newbies she also struggled with things. Later on she was seriously into blogging, SEO, internet marketing and traffic generation. Today her blog Traffic Generation Cafe attracts millions of visitors around the world and is extremely successful. As the name suggests the blog is mainly focussed on traffic generation. One could easily figure out that its success lies in the theme, content and of course niche. I strongly recommend bloggers (newbies) to subscribe to her blog for informative updates.
"The biggest secret of a successful blog is your content, how you present your blog, how you stand out because people have to come to your blog and say wow I've never read this before, this is amazingly helpful to me and I want to come back to read this again. You have to blog that way."
3. Joel Comm
Joel Comm is a well-known author and Internet marketer. He has authored several books about Social media and Internet marketing. His 'The adsense code: What Google never told you about making money with Adsense' book was a 2006's bestseller in US. He runs his own software company Informedia and has come up with bunch of branded websites. Personally I like his World village and Joel comm blogs. Apart from a brilliant writer he is a good speaker, thinker and coach too. I strongly recommend newbies to buy his books and get enlightened.
"The only difference between those who are doing it and those who aren't doing it is that those who are doing it .. are doing it."
4. Pat Flynn
Pat Flynn is the founder of Smart passive income blog where he teaches people about different monetization strategies. He is very gentle and down-to-earth guy inspiring hundreds of thousands of bloggers worldwide. He accidentally landed in this field after leaving traditional job. But, it is the passion which drives any one towards success. Newbies could find his e-book, newsletter, Podcast and Youtube videos really interesting and inspiring.
"Earning any type of income online takes a lot of hard work, a lot of patience and a little bit of luck too."
5. Jeremy Schoemaker
Jeremy Schoemaker is one of the successful Internet marketers in world and he owns Shoemoney blog which discusses about websites, monetization, affiliate marketing, campaigns, traffic etc. He founded Shoemoney in year 2003 and he was in news when he posed with the Google Adsense check of $132,994.7 he generated in 1 month. It was a sensation in 2005. You could find this picture below. His blog attracts millions of page views monthly and his subscribers are more than 270k. He published his self autobiography in 2013 known as Nothing's Changed But My Change : The Shoemoney Story. I recommend newbies to subscribe to his blog and follow him on Youtube.

Hy Suresh vurity,
As far I know, most of pro bloggers use affiliate marketing than adsense , because it has too much potential as compared to adsense or other advertising options. I personally have tried affiliate marketing in recent month and I come to know potential of affiliate marketing. I am taking inspiration from Harsh Agrawal from shoutmeloud and Pat Flynn from smartpassiveincome. Thank you for the great post.
Hi Bhavesh,
Yes I agree with you bro. They don't care much about adsense and other contextual advertising programs. They make good income with affiliate programs. Thank you so much for the comment. Have a nice weekend.
Hi Suresh,
Thanks to this inspire bloggers list. I really appreciate it.
I've heard of Shoemoney some time ago, and indeed, he is amazing. I also found out about Pat Flynn, but I do not know him deeper. I'm off to visit his blog.
Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend!
Hello Nanda,
I'm glad you liked my post. Visit Pat's blog and you will certainly love it. Thanks for your comment. Keep visiting.

East Asian Archaeoastronomy: Astronomical Observations of China, Japan and KoreaHardback Earth Space Institute Book Series, Volume 5
List price $169.95

Product description
Historical astronomical records can play an important role in modern research, especially in the case of ancient Chinese observational data: sunspot and aurora records are important for the study of solar variability; solar and lunar eclipse records for the study of the Earth's rotation; records of Comet Hally for the study of orbital evolution; "guest star" records for the study of supernova remnants; planetary conjunction records for research in astronomical chronology. In the past, Western scientists have not been able to exploit these valuable data fully because the original records were difficult to gather and interpret, and complete English translations have not been available. East-Asian Archaeoastronomy is the first comprehensive translation into English of such historical records for modern research. The book also features an introduction to East Asian astronomy and offers guidance on how to use the records effectively. It will not only be a valuable research tool for astronomers but should also be of great interest to historians of China and Chinese science.

The other day a friend was in a coffee shop – the business shall remain unnamed but suffice to say it was a rather complicated establishment. The product being sold is seemingly so advanced that some members of staff choose…

Sure, not everyone likes Starbucks – but some people do. And it's for that reason that we have to make room for popular chains as well as independent boutiques in our lives.
Some time ago there was a stink in my neighbourhood when Starbucks – aka the devil in a frothy, milky cloak – opened a store on our small shopping strip. Oh, the outpouring of anger. Our independence would be lost forever…

text: This documentary is part seven in an eight part series, produced by Kevin Costner, on the First Americans. This episode examines the fate of the Plains Indians, with the arrival of white invaders during the gold rushes in California and Colorado. The Sioux, or Lakota, Nation is particularly noted for its resistance to incursions by white settlers and to mining claims on native land. Sitting Bull, of the Hunkpapa Lokota, and Crazy Horse, of the Oglala Sioux, were two leaders revered then and today for their bravery in seeking an end to European American aggression. They and their peoples fought and defeated General George Custer at the Little Bighorn. The film chronicles the struggle of their resistance and hardship, and subsequent capture, betrayal, death, and displacement of their people onto reservations. Poignant excerpts from the writings of Indian leaders are read by actors Patrick Stewart, Edward James Olmos, and Wes Studi. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi

"It's time for our band of the week! Lot 14 has been playing around Orange County for a couple years, starting at Corner Stage in Middletown and pressing on with original progressive jazz rock. The band was happy to do a Q&A with us, sharing a video and letting us know its next show is March 5 at the Tuscan Cafe in Warwick."
"Lot 14 is a true American band with great harmony, killer licks and a driving blues beat that pumps the crowd every time they play. And while they can cover just about anything, our favorites are their original tunes. Great guys and awesome musicians! Can't wait to hear them again." Big Dave's Family BBQ, Goshen, NY
"Ric brings his unique improvisational jazz influences to his guitar playing style and his vocals capture the emotion of Lot-14. Ric is a master player; never over playing, utilizing his skills to bring you a dynamic sense of enjoyment. Ric's rhythm playing is amazing and to hear him play off the drums and bass will keep you listening and dancing. Phil keeps the groove in Lot-14 by laying down some very unique bass lines that keep the band moving with excitement. His smooth bass-lines will make you feel good and keep you moving. Jeremy is a self taught drummer that brings his natural musical instincts and rhythms to Lot 14, creating an impulsive rhythmic sense of timing to the tunes. Dan's strong sense of rhythm and timing fills out Lot-14 giving them a unique fullness that allows for some interesting hits and stops along the way."

This generator hook will help you fix broken encoding when you generated some non HTML text file (i.e. xml, json…).
I've met this case when trying to generate a
rss.xml file using a content-handler, there's an issue for that but here is a "user-land" fix.
This concerns every file generated from content handlers and not having
.html extension, as
punch will use
binary encoding in those cases, and writing text with this encoding will result in
iso-8859-1 files (your call, Node).
npm install punch-fix-utf8
In your
Just provide in
utf8_paths the list of paths that should be re-encoded using
utf8 encoding instead of
This will simply
fs.writeFile(…, fs.readFile(…, 'binary'), 'utf8').
To avoid re-encoding to UTF-8 each time you regenerate your pages (which would break your files, again) a
.fix-utf8.done file is kept in your output directory. If file is updated, it will be fixed again. If you remove output and generate again, it will be fixed. If you just regenerate and file is not touched, it won't be re-encoded.

UT Austin Science prerequisites and typical course progression
First Semester:
Second Semester:
Third Semester:
|M 408K or M 408C
|M 408L or M 408D
|CH 310M (if required)
|BIO 325 (Genetics)
|BIO 205L or 206L (if required)
Math is the foundation course for all other Natural Sciences courses at UT!
Credit or registration for Calculus (M 408K or C) is the prerequisite for CH 301
Credit or registration for CH 301 is the prerequisite for BIO 311C
A grade of C or better in BIO 311C is the prerequisite for BIO 311D
Grades of C or better in BIO 311C and 311D is the prerequisites for BIO 325
BIO 325 (Genetics) is the minimum prerequisite for all other upper division Biology courses
Transferring to UT presents a unique set of issues and challenges for Biology majors. Biology courses rarely transfer to UT directly. Sometimes, transfer students must start the UT Biology sequence from the beginning (BIO 311C) once arriving at UT.
Most often, students with previous Biology coursework have to submit a complete syllabus for the course(s) they took to be evaluated by a UT Biology faculty member. If you are interested in transferring to UT and have taken Biology courses at another institution, it is STRONGLY advised that you keep your syllabi from those courses, or obtain copies of them from your school before arriving at UT.
The syllabus may be faxed, e-mailed, or turned in to the BSAC in the Norman Hackerman Building. It will then be reviewed by a UT Biology faculty member, who will determine if the material covered in the course(s) is equivalent to the material covered in UT Biology courses. This process typically takes 4-6 weeks. The syllabus should include information about the textbook used, the topics covered, and the amount of time devoted to each topic. Lab manuals for courses with labs should be turned in along with course syllabi. Students with more than one course to be evaluated should submit all syllabi at the same time. Approval of credit that will count towards a UT Biology degree is not guaranteed.
To look up how Biology courses from other Texas colleges and universities will transfer to UT, visit the UT Admissions Office's Automated Transfer Equivalency website.
BIOL 1406 = BIO 311C + BIO 105L (1-hour version of BIO 205L)
BIOL 1407 = BIO 311D + BIO 106L (1-hour version of BIO 206L)
Students transferring only BIOL 1406 have credit for BIO 311C only and must take BIO 311D next. Students transferring only BIOL 1407 have credit for BIO 311D only and must take BIO 311C next. Students transferring both BIOL 1406 and 1407 are ready to take BIO 325 next. Please visit the UT Admissions Office's Common Transfer Credit Problems website for more information.
At least 2 full semesters of independent, undergraduate biology research may be petitioned in lieu of an upper division biology lab requirement. Two full semesters of research at the minimum is required in order to petition. Research may only be petitioned in place of an upper division biology lab. At least one enrollment of BIO 377 is required.
1) Student's submit a 2-page, double-spaced, research write-up via email, to their academic advisor. Write-ups should include dates and hours worked per week in the lab, a hypothesis, research methods, conclusions, and demonstration of knowledge gained from experience in the lab.
*Papers already written for the research project may be used.
*Have the PI read the write-up since they will be verifying the research.
2) The PI reviews and corroborates the student's write-up by sending an email directly to the student's academic advisor. The correspondence may be brief, verifying the research was done as reported by the student.
3) Both write-up and corroborating statement are submitted by the academic advisor to the faculty advisor for review. The faculty advisor determines whether the petition request is appropriate or not.
4) A final decision is made in the College of Natural Sciences Dean's Office.
5) Most independent research, if there is evidence of two semesters of experience or more, is generally approved.
The BIO 377-FRI lab is not the same as BIO 377 Undergraduate Research. The BIO 377-FRI program is for new, incoming students – typically freshmen. Occasionally BIO 377-FRI is cross-listed with CH 369K-FRI, which means it is the same course.
The BIO 377-FRI lab automatically counts as an upper division biology lab towards all Biology options, except for Microbiology and Neurobiology majors.
*Students wanting to apply their FRI lab experience to a Microbiology major must receive preapproval from the faculty advisor. The research should have a microbiology focus.
*Students wanting to apply their FRI lab experience to a Neurobiology major must have at least two semesters of work done, submit a 2-page write up of their research, and provide a corroborating statement from their PI (same steps for petitioning research as outlined above). The research should have a neurobiology or neuroscience focus.
Demand for interdisciplinary, hands-on environmental science education is on the rise, and ESI is there to meet that challenge.
Undergraduate students enrolled at The University of Texas at Austin can pursue a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science with focus areas in Biology, Geology, and Geography.
Undergraduates at UT-Austin can also take advantage the University's exceptional courses in environmental science, including the first signature course to be offered at UT-Austin: Sustaining a Planet. Of course, UT-Austin students can also pursue a Bridging Disciplines certification in the Environment, offered through the School of Undergraduate Studies.
And undergraduate students across the country can participate in ESI's summer Research Experience for Undergraduates in which students design and complete their own short-term research project.

Far Cry instincts
Just have a quick question... what's the difference between Instincst and the normal Far Cry?
Did they re-do the story line or what?
As far as I understand, you now have some crygen abilities, hence the yellow-creature eyes...
Enlighten me! :)
Re: Far Cry instincts
Instincts is pretty much a totally different game. It's the same basic storyline (Jack is escorting the girl to the island, guys blow up his ship, yadda yadda) but aside from that they're not much alike. The levels are completely different, the combat system has been modified to include things like dual-weilding and stealth melee attacks, you can set traps up now, and the "feral abilities" add a whole new aspect to the game. The multiplayer was also completely redone. Unfortunately the new levels are a bit disapointing, they seem a lot more linear and less expansive than the originals, but that's the only major shortcoming I've noticed in the short time I've played it.
Basically, it's a different game based on the same setting.
Re: Far Cry instincts
I just wrote this off as the Xbox port of Farcry.. isnt it?
Re: Far Cry instincts
Re: Far Cry instincts
Yeah I saw the above posts, and they dont mention platforms at all...
thus, I googled, and it still seems like Instincts is the Xbox version of Farcry..
http://www.farcrygame.com/us/farcryinstincts/main.php only lists Xbox..
Not a carbon copy of the PC version as it seems, but the Xbox version never the less...
I guess they COULDNT have it a carbon copy, they prolly had to scale down the maps quite a bit..

Sweet sibs!
Kevin Federline's youngest kids – sons Preston, 9, Jayden, 8, and daughters Jordan, nearly 4, and Peyton, 13 months – were all smiles playing in the backyard together.
"Never to early for a skate lesson… "Gets better and better by time"… Captioned by #PDubs #PeytieWaity #JordyBear #JBoogy @federline4real," Federline's wife Victoria Instagrammed the cute image Friday.
Preston and Jayden are Federline's sons with ex-wife, pop superstar Britney Spears. The former backup dancer, 37, welcomed his daughters with wife Victoria Prince.
Spears recently Instagrammed some photos of her skateboarding son, writing, "Practice makes perfect Check this guy out!!"
And Victoria went on to share more family photos on her Instagram page.
Federline also has daughter Kori, nearly 13, and son Kaleb, nearly 11, with ex-fiancée, actress Shar Jackson.
The Federline siblings were photographed together over the Christmas holidays, all sporting matching PJs.

Fed 100 winner Noel Dickover has joined the U.S. Institute of Peace.
Noel Dickover, the State Department's Office of eDiplomacy guru for the past three years and one of the coordinators largely responsible for its successful TechCamps program, left last week to begin a new position with the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP). He started in the new position on July 29.
Dickover announced the move on Twitter, saying he had a "terrific 3 years" at State and that he was looking forward to working on USIP's Peace-Tech Lab. He started at the State Department on July 1, 2010.
Dickover told FCW his work at USIP will focus on using low-cost technology like crowdsourcing to build peace and help stabilize social culture, particularly in developing countries.
"It gives me an opportunity to build technology for social good ecosystems in developing countries," Dickover said.
USIP is an independent, federally funded nonpartisan institution established by Congress to help manage international conflicts without violence.
Dickover is highly respected for his work at the Office of eDiplomacy, earning a Fed 100 award in 2012 for his efforts training grassroots organizations all over the world and increasing their digital capacity through interactive TechCamp meetings.
His efforts in organizing and executing TechCamps in places including Thailand, Israel, India, the Ukraine, Moldova and Zanzibar empowered nongovernmental organizations to adopt tech-savvy approaches to issues pertaining to disaster response, economy opportunity, empowering women and in some cases, democracy.
"Technologists love to be Superman," Dickover told FCW in a 2012 interview. "The TechCamp format gives them that opportunity."
State offered no insight on who might replace Dickover.
