david akers over Jason Hansen would be huge mistake. 21 yrs an no thanks.pay the man.
Originally written on Tireball.com | Last updated 3/31/13
Jason Hanson has kicked for the Detroit Lions for 21 years. Since Hanson was drafted by the Lions in the 1992 draft the team has seen some ups and a lot of downs but there was never a question as to who was the teams kicker. Hanson continued to be a reliable leg last season connecting on 32-of-36 attempts on a Lions team that won just four games during the 2012 season. The Detroit Free Press notes that ,while Hanson has told the team that he wants to return for a 22nd season, contract talks have gone no where. David Akers who was recently released by San Francisco after an inconsistent season is set to visit the Lions this week. The team also is not expected to bring back punter Nick Harris.

Akers versus Hanson? No contest. The Lions should sign Hanson - he's the highest scorer on the team!
Typical from an ignorant coach and an even dumber uncaring owner.
Really!?! Akers over Hanson. That would be as stupid as not insuring Barrys return, oh wait. While you are at it Ford, get rid of Johnson, he caught way to many passes last year.
Until the Lions are sold they will NEVER go anywhere.
I am now, have always been and will always be a Lions fan (stop laughing) and just want a streak of winning seasons. I am NOT greedy, just winning regular seasons. Sadly at this point I dont even care about playoffs.

Precious is just that kind of movie that has the chance of just becoming a snowball.
But the snowball of suspicion had begun to build in her mind—where did my loyalties lie?
Meanwhile, national attention has already started to snowball around the issue.
"to make snowballs," 1680s, from snowball (n.); sense of "to throw snowballs at" (someone) is from 1850. Meaning "to increase rapidly" is attested from 1929, though the image of a snowball increasing in size as it rolls along had been used since at least 1613, and a noun sense of "a pyramid scheme" is attested from 1892. Related: Snowballed; snowballing.

YIELD: Makes 24 cookies
In a bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and beat the mixture until it is light and fluffy. Beat in the zest and the vanilla, add the poppy seeds, the flour, and the salt, and beat the mixture until it is just combined. Press the mixture evenly into a buttered 8-inch-square baking pan and bake it in the middle of a preheated 300°F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until it is pale golden. Let the shortbread cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, cut it into 24 bars, and let the bars cool completely in the pan. Sprinkle the bars with the additional confectioners' sugar.

Some industries including automotive in recent years have made the decision to cut broadcast spending in favor of greater spending on the Internet and social media. According to a recent survey conducted by Forrester Research, more than 50 percent of marketers are increasing their spending in social media. Advertisers view social media as important because online they can seek out people who have an affinity for the brand and engage them in a meaningful discourse that lasts longer than 30 seconds. Many times these people pass along information to their friends. Online tools give marketers the ability to track the "pass alongs." Communication can be more frequent and the consumer can share with the advertiser information such as what other information they would like to have and what actions they would like for the marketer to consider.
On Sunday, Feb. 7, Super Bowl XLIV will be played and the National Football League and CBS Sports will pull out all of the stops to put on a sports extravaganza including pre, halftime and post shows with some of the most creative, funny and moving advertising Madison Avenue can muster. Meanwhile, Pepsi will be leading an army of bloggers, texters and tweeters as it attempts to redefine the marketing game. I, for one, want a front row seat to see if Pepsi can increase the pace of change of the use of social media by marketers.

The Fear And Curiosity Behind The Paranormal
With today's level of advancement and awareness, people have broken down and analyzed even the most inexplicable of topics. Let's face it; we humans are a curious lot and questioning everything is one of our most innate traits. So far, skeptics have managed to offer explanations and theories, but the existence of ghosts is still a very debatable topic and will remain so for a very long time to come.

Originally, it was supposed to be a special map for StarCraft 2.
I'm extremely happy they've chosen the standalone version!
Hopefully, this way there will be engine improvements in the game and the graphics will be better
I've added some videos to the post.
Thank you! I had already gone to bed when those were posted on youtube. They are exactly the ones that we were shown at blizzcon earlier

It's amazing that two different RPG sub-genres have emerged from SC/WC3 custom map editor - tower defence and DOTA.
I think HoS will enhance the gameplay dynamics on many levels. It won't be just DOTA
At Blizzcon, they were talking about how the battlegrounds from WOW, their interactive aspect influenced those in HoS.

Each hero offers different strengths and weaknesses depending on their role.ASSASSINAssassins like Kerrigan deal tremendous damage and can pick off unsuspecting enemies, but must choose their battles carefully, as they can dish more than they can take.WARRIORWarriors such as Diablo can dive right into a melee, soaking up damage and dealing it back.SUPPORTSupport heroes like Malfurion can swing the tide of battle, assisting with healing, buffs, or other abilities to manipulate the battle in the favor of allies.SPECIALISTOther types include the siege and commander heroes, which are more specialized roles that bring different strengths as you build a team.
I'm super excited about the healing class. I'm a priest in WoW and I've sort of missed healing abilities in D3 where all classes are DPS pretty much and monk's heals are weak.
Still, I want to try them all out ASAP

Picture: Justin Bieber's bodyguard shops for Justin at Ted Baker on Robertson Boulevard and drives off in Justin's silver electric Fisker car Los Angeles, California -...
Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber's fans surrounded New York's Rockefeller Center this morning (June 15, 2012) to see their idol in action. Hundreds of squealing Beliebers packed into the legendary New York venue to watch Justin Bieber perform at the free summer concert hosted by the Today show. During his set, some of the young fans "scrambled toward the star with arms stretched out, trying to grab the singing sensation's hand or even tug his pants leg," New York Daily News reported.
The young singer, who recently turned 18, arrived on stage wearing a white vest and baggy white jeans. He started his set with recent single 'Boyfriend,' during which he broke out some classic Michael Jackson-style dance moves. He also included a new version of his hit single 'Baby,' the song that propelled him to global fame and was joined onstage by rapper Big Sean for a rendition of 'As Long As You Love Me.'
According to New York Daily News, some of his fans had been camped out for days, to ensure that they got a glimpse of the young star. 16 year-old Amina Morise was the first in line, arriving at 6am on Tuesday (June 12, 2012). She told reporters "I'm here for his music. The way he talks about to 'never say never,' just the way he sings with passion. I think it's very inspiring. In an interview with MTV Bieber has said that he would give his fans 10 out of 10 for dedication and had a few words of advice for his devotees: "I would just tell them to believe in themselves, you know, in their dreams and believe in general. I think that they should just believe."

Why Read This ReportAs businesses look forward to the end of another recession, IT leaders have shifted their priorities toward growth, but many development shops struggle to support it. "Partner Player" development shops are in the best position to enable business growth, because they're flexible and staffed with creative software development professionals assembled in high-performance development teams. Managers looking to become Partner Player development shops should adjust their recruiting practices to attract creative development professionals.

I never trade Koivu away, and I try to hang on to Bouchard as well.
Koivu is 91 overall for me in 2018 playoffs, Granlund 90 and Bouchard 87. Bonus points for Brodin, who has an insane shot, both slapper and wrister (85 speed 87 accuracy). He is 84 overall. And Zack Phillips is 85 overall, proving that he can be a very good playmaker as well.
I need to rebuild my roster soon though, as I have way too many talented playmakers and I'm lacking on snipers and grinders. I have Koivu, Bouchard, Granlund, Phillips and LaFlamme (86 overall player who I acquired from FA after he went undrafted).
My second line (Bouchard - Granlund - LaFlamme) is just... insane. Everyone has 90 average on their offense. LaFlamme is a bit slow (76) but he makes up for it with his insane dangles and shots.
Oh, and trade for Ryan O'Reilly. 85 OVR two-way center who has great individual stats, the perfect third line center who can also be used in top six.
My defense however looks very good, even if I say that myself.
Fowler - Larsson
Brodin - Karlsson
Scandella - Teubert
Scandella is 84 overall by the way. Määttä has been bit of a disappointment (80) but he has great speed (87) and seems to be a late bloomer as he still has B- or B potential.
I lost the first SCF game to Jets (!!!) in OT, but I'm confident I can take the series.
Conference finals were Wild - Coyotes and Jets - Islanders by the way.
And finally, I made it to a legendary GM, and I have maxed all the staff as well.

Briefing journalists on the findings of an internal military enquiry into the incident at a UN school in Beit Hanun, spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner said militants "in the vicinity" of the school fired mortar rounds and anti-tank rockets at Israeli forces.
The army responded with mortar fire, sending a stray round into the compound.
"A single errant mortar (round) landed in the courtyard of the school," he said. "The courtyard was completely empty" at the time of the incident, he added.
"We reject the claims that were made by various officials immediately following the incident, that people were killed in the school premises as a result of (Israeli army) operational activity," he added.
An AFP photographer who went to the scene saw blood spattered on the ground and Gaza emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said 15 people died in the blast and at least another 200 people were injured.
"Many have been killed -- including women and children," UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said in a statement, adding that he was "appalled".
Lerner suggested the victims may have been hit in fighting raging elsewhere and "brought to the compound after injury" for first aid or shelter.

Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 1/22/13
In a season where the Seahawks exceeded most every expectation by winning their last five regular season games in a row, going 11-5 and winning a first round playoff game on the road, you might think there aren't many items on the Seahawks' "to-do" list before the 2013 season starts. After all, the Seahawks had the top scoring defense in 2012, one of the league's best rushing attacks, and arguably the league's top rookie signal caller in Russell Wilson, so the cupboards aren't bare by any stretch of the imagination. However, as with any up-and-coming team that experiences a breakthrough season the way Seahawks did, there's a lot of work to be done in order to build on the success and equip the team to handle the inevitable increase in expectations next season.So what are the goals that are bound to be on the New Year resolution list for John Schneider and Pete Carroll for 2013? Three of the top items that are bound to be at or near the top are listed here.

For about four years, state attorneys general in Connecticut and other states have been investigating consumer complaints against Sirius satellite radio service.
There is no indication when the investigation will be completed, but for Sirius customers like Sabrina Bright and Becky Melton, it can't be soon enough.
Jaclyn Falkowski, spokeswoman for state Attorney General George Jepsen, assured customers that the investigation is still "active and it is progressing."
"But unfortunately we cannot comment further at this time," she said recently, offering only that her office had received 40 complaints since the investigation was launched in 2009.
During that time, CtWatchdog has received more complaints against Sirius than against any other national company.
There is a pattern to the complaints, which allege:
• Unauthorized charges.
• Customer service representatives whose English is less than fluent.
• Promises of refunds that don't materialize.
• Having to make repeated phone calls to get help with billing issues.
• Cancellations of service not honored.
• Having to spend hours talking to customer service representatives before issues are resolved, or partly resolved.
Spokesmen for Sirius declined to comment on the investigation, the pattern of complaints, or on the individual complaints CtWatchdog sent the company.
For Becky Melton of Texarkana, Texas, the amount of money was not the main issue - $33. The issue was that she felt she was being jerked around.
Melton canceled her service last year.
"I was told in May that a representative would call me when it was time to renew and that I wouldn't be charged unless I wanted to renew," she told CtWatchdog. "I asked the representative over and over if they were sure that I wouldn't be charged and that they were going to call. I didn't get a call and was told that I owe $33."
"I know it's only $33 but it's the principle!"
Sirius canceled the charge after I sent her complaint to the company. Sirius historically has made refunds or provided credits based on complaints I had sent to its public relations department.
For Sabrina Bright, there was a lot more money involved.
Bright, of Michigan, said her husband discovered $588 worth of charges for a Sirius radio subscription in a car they haven't owned in more than 2 years.
First, they refused to refund the money and than credited her husband's account by $338, but the company is refusing to refund the balance.
Sirius has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau despite the fact that there have been 3,293 complaints about billing issues in the past three years. So much for the BBB's rating system.

About Valerian
Valerian derives its name, in part, from the Latin word valere, meaning 'to be in good health' or 'to make strong.' It has been in use by the Arabs since the 10th century. Native to Europe and parts of Asia, Valerian has since been naturalized to North America where it grows in low lying, nutrient rich meadows. This distinctive tasting tea is made from Valerian's many long, slender roots.
Valerian tea is often used to unwind after a busy day, or enjoyed before bed.
All the herbs in this tea are organically grown and prepared, ensuring their natural taste and active properties are enjoyed in every cup of tea. Our organic audit trail enables traceability from the field to your table.
It all starts with the herbs. Celebration Herbals is dedicated to bringing you the best tasting teas, grown and processed as close to "the way nature intended" as possible and never irradiated.
Our herbs are grown and harvested with the highest standards of quality control. You can trust our new special designations - Certified Organic, Ethically Wildcrafted, Organically Grown and Pure Quality.
We are committed to the environment. In this box you won't find any strings, tags, or staples in our chlorine free bags. In addition, our boxes are made from 100% recycled board. A resealable freshness bag is used to extend the quality and life of your tea.
We hope you enjoy the beneficial pleasure of drinking these teas as much as we have enjoyed blending, hand crafting and packaging them for you.
Herbally Yours, Celebration Herbals
Suggested Use
- Good water is an essential part of brewing a great cup of tea. We recommend using spring or filtered water.
- Be sure to relax! Some of the most enjoyable aspects of tea are the calmness and ritual that surround it.
- This is a delicate herb and is more potent when exposed to high temperatures for a short period of time. So that your tea has its maximum medicinal properties and flavour, be sure that your water is at a rolling boil when you pour it over your teabags.
- If you desire a medicinal tea, be sure to use one tea bag per cup of boiling water, cover and steep for 7-12 minutes. This is known as the infusion method.
- If you desire a pleasure tea or quick brew, use one teabag per cup of hot water. Pour water over teabags, cover, and let steep 3 to 5 minutes to taste. Enjoy!
Organic valerian root (valeriana officinalis)
No flavourings, preservatives or sweeteners of any kind.
iHerb Customer Reviews
This organic valerian root tea is a wonderful natural sleep aid and stress reliever helping me calm down, fall asleep faster and get a good night's rest. It's also great for people suffering from headaches, migraines, asthma, muscle and joint pain, arthritis, upset stomach, IBS, morning sickness, nausea, menstrual cramps, epilepsy, ADHD, neuralgia, convulsions, tremors, chronic fatigue. It's a natural tranquilizer and muscle relaxant relieving spasms and pain, boosting the immune system, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, aiding digestion and flushing toxins out of the body. A tea bag can also be applied locally as a treatment for cramps and different kinds of pain. It's a great stress relieving tea and I would recommend it to anyone suffering from insomnia or anxiety.

HIV "cure" fails
A child "cured" of HIV last year has tested positive for the virus. Born to a mother with HIV, the child from Mississippi was treated with antiretroviral drugs and declared "functionally cured". Now, however, the virus has returned. The child, nearly 4, was found to have high levels of HIV in her blood, suggesting that the virus had escaped from immune control.
Surfing Venus
The European Space Agency's Venus Express has survived its month-long dive into the planet's thick atmosphere and is now on the climb. It reached 130 kilometres above the surface through aerobraking, which uses friction from the atmosphere to reduce its orbit. Now it is firing its thrusters to get into a higher orbit.
Animal test rise
The number of tests on animals in the UK increased slightly last year, in spite of government plans to reduce them. According to the annual report, 4.12 million procedures were conducted in 2013, up 0.3 per cent from 2012. Of these, 2.1 million involved genetically modified animals. Ninety-three per cent of the work was on mice, rats and fish.
Distant planets found
Sky surveys have revealed the most distant known members of the Milky Way. An international team found two red giant stars in a sparsely populated halo that surrounds the galaxy. At distances of 775,000 and 900,000 light years, they are about 50 per cent further from the sun than the previous record holders (Astrophysical Journal, doi.org/tqt).

Google is to work with Swiss drug company Novartis to develop a smart contact lens that will improve vision and monitor health. A prototype has a tiny sensor, which monitors glucose levels in the tears of people with diabetes, and a wireless transmitter.

I was going to mention Confessions... as a favourite of mine too. What's with the guy he played huh? Was he legit or an absolute nutter? It's such a fantastic tale and Clooney doesn't get the credit for it either that he deserves, I think it was his directorial debut?
I absolutely agree about MM being a great Cage role and I am not a huge Cage fan. I am of certain things he's done, like I was watching Raising Arizona again the other day. I even sort of enjoyed him in Bad Lieutenant: New Orleans where he was doing the "good crazy Cage" but I still find his performances in movies like The Rock and Face/Off to be abhorrent and OTT. Fortunately I have found if I watch those movies without my serious face and judgement hat on, I can enjoy them as pure farcical action comedies - I can imagine them almost as National Lampoon movies. But to me, they'll always signify the overblown 90's crap that we just seemed to be inundated with - like all those friggin' disaster movies of the time - Armageddon, The Core, Volcano, Daylight, Deep Impact. Gag me with a spoon!

Sometimes the best way to express you disagree with an opinion is to keep it short and sweet. I can't say I use the term much, if ever, but it's definitely a surefire way of k.i.s.s.

I only use "meh" in clearly tongue-in-cheek instances, but when it's used as described in the initial post, remember what the word is meant to express: a degree of indifference/antipathy. In response to a "long, carefully-worded and argued post," to my viewing it's usually an oblique commentary that translates to "you are taking this way too seriously." They don't agree but they don't care enough to accept the debate gauntlet thrown down. It's not exactly the most graceful way to step out of the discussion, though.
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible

Actually, I've been thinking about resurrecting some Old English expressions lately. You know, I think throwing in a "Fie!" or a "Alas!" once in awhile can be really effective for sports message boards.

House veteran with Haslam's help faces challenger
The notion of carrying water for Gov. Bill Haslam has come up for discussion in a Sevier County campaign for the 12th House District seat this summer and perhaps serves to illustrate the differences between candidates Richard Montgomery and Dale Carr.
"Mr. Montgomery said, 'I've carried the governor's water and I'd be happy to carry it all the way to the White House,' " said Carr, 57, an auctioneer and Sevierville alderman.
"If I'm elected, I'm not going to be one to carry anybody's water. I don't want to make the governor mad in any case, but sometimes in Sevier County we don't like people telling us what to do."
Yes, said Montgomery, he has made his own comments on gubernatorial water-bearing while facing his first Republican primary challenge since he won the 12th District seat by defeating an incumbent lawmaker 14 years ago.
"As long as Gov. Haslam wants to cut $100 million out of taxes on people, cut $1 billion out of the state budget and shrink government . … I'll carry that water all the way to the White House if he wants me to," said Montgomery, 65, who is retired from a professional career involving Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Haslam, while studiously avoiding involvement in some Republican legislative primaries, has warmly endorsed Montgomery, chairman of the House Education Committee, by co-hosting a fundraiser — the first of the campaign season for a GOP incumbent — and posing for pictures with the candidate while holding one of his campaign signs. House Republican leaders have also uniformly backed him.
"I believe I am an effective legislator with the trust and respect of my peers down there (in the Legislature)," Montgomery said. "It takes years to develop all that. Actions speak louder than words. … When they know you're honest and mean what you say, you can build on that."
But Carr says Sevier County has been "kind of neglected" by the powers-that-be in state government on matters ranging from road improvements to education funding. The incumbent, he said, has "lost touch with the people" he represents.
"If you've been down there (in Nashville) a while, you get complacent. You don't look for new avenues," said Carr, adding that he will end his auctioneer work and devote himself full time to legislating if elected. "My idea is not to go down there and start writing bills. My main goal would be to be an advocate for Sevier County."
Both men profess unhappiness that Sevier County gets less money per pupil from the state in education funding than any other county in the state under the present Basic Education Program formula. Both are uncertain, however, on how the complex BEP formula should be changed.
Montgomery said that as chairman of a key committee dealing with education he is best positioned to find a solution and get it implemented; that would start with simplifying the BEP formula. Carr said Montgomery has not done so in the past and that he would provide a fresh perspective.
Local issues are a factor in the campaign as well. At a debate last week, Carr faced questions on his involvement in seeking a liquor-by-the-drink referendum in Sevierville and city financing of an economic development project that has not gone well. Montgomery, in turn, was questioned about legislation that set up a new vote on liquor-by-the-drink in Pigeon Forge.
On most state-level issues, the two men in separate interviews generally voiced the same or similar views.
An exception was a bill that would prohibit classroom discussion of homosexuality in grades kindergarten through eight. The bill passed the Senate last legislative session, but failed in the House.
Montgomery voted against it in committee. Carr said he would have voted yes.
The incumbent said he felt the bill was unnecessary after education officials told his committee that there's no such teaching permitted now under state law and that passage could "open a can of worms" with unintended consequences.
The most recent financial disclosures filed by the candidates, covering the three months ending March 31, show Montgomery has a substantial monetary advantage — though Carr actually outspent him in the first quarter. Montgomery had a cash-on-hand balance of $67,519. Carr's balance was $737.
But Carr spent $12,456 in the first quarter compared to $4,992 for Montgomery. New campaign financial disclosures must be filed later this month. Both men have held fundraising events recently that are not included in the first-quarter reports, including the Haslam-hosted fundraiser for Montgomery.
The election is Aug. 2. With no Democrat running in November, the winner of the GOP primary is assured of election to the 12th House District seat.

Originally written on Fox Soccer | Last updated 12/27/12
Wesley Sneijder's agent has dismissed speculation linking the Inter Milan playmaker with a move to Tottenham in January. Sneijder has been heavily tipped to leave Inter in the near future, despite being under contract there until 2014. The Holland international has not featured for the Nerazzurri since September due to an ongoing contract dispute. Recent rumours have linked him with a move to White Hart Lane, with manager Andre Villas Boas thought to be an admirer of the 28-year-old. But his representative is quoted as saying in Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad : "There is nothing, absolutely nothing true about that." Manchester United were thought to be chasing Sneijder's signature last summer, while Paris St Germain are also believed to be fans of the Dutchman.

Here's a rundown of some of the stories we're keeping tabs on for Monday, June 20:
The AMA has said nearly one in five medical claims are processed inaccurately, while Motorola may still get to keep its Illinois tax break even if it decides to reduce its workforce in the state.
There are news conferences today to discuss security on the CTA and a press conference with the city Office of Emergency Management and Communications related to its internal review of the Groundhog Day Blizzard -- and how to beat the heat. For now, OEMC says the event is a "background briefing."
New York's same-sex marriage law could go to a vote today; it was one vote short of passage in the state Senate on Sunday.
The Cubs and the Sox play one another in the city series scheduled to start tonight.
And, oh yes, we're still on Blagojevich jury watch.

Maxime Talbot, Matt Read and Claude Giroux also scored for the Flyers, who moved within two points of the idle New York Rangers and New York Islanders for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Capitals are a point ahead of Philadelphia in a jumbled East.

Is there any way to remove the search form from the user list?
Thanks in advance.
Is there any way to remove the search form from the user list?
Thanks in advance.
Already resolved it, it's as simple as making an if statement in your own search-author.php.
Asked for help a little to soon.
If you browse through the code, you will notice that both search and navigation are added to action hooks in the shortcode. Therefore, you can also unhook them the same way you'd unhook any WordPress function.
function kia_remove_search(){
global $simple_user_listing;
remove_action( 'simple_user_listing_before_loop', array( $simple_user_listing, 'add_search' ) );
add_action( 'wp_head', 'kia_remove_search' );
Though your method is also totally viable. There's more than one solution here.
Used your method, its more clean.
Thanks for the wonderful support.
I'd like to remove the search feature too, but I'm still learning to work with the code.
Looking at the code you provided here (i.e. function kia_remove_search) do I add this into the existing code in the search-author.php document, or do I use it to replace the code at search-author.php instead?
My apologies if my question seems convoluted. I'm very new at all of this yet, but I appreciate your patience.
Thanks in advance for your help!
The above code goes in your theme's functions.php file.
Here's a tutorial I wrote about basic action hooks that might help you:
That's wonderful! Many thanks!

By Bertram de Souza (Contact)
Jim Tressel, who was drummed out of coaching college football by the NCAA, was the finalist for president at Youngstown State University and the University of Akron.
Akron's board of trustees concluded Tressel didn't have the credentials to lead a four-year institution of higher learning with an academic vision.
By contrast, trustees at Youngstown State were so blinded by the national championship rings Tressel won as football coach at YSU and Ohio State that they didn't even bother to fake a reason for naming him president.
Here's what Dr. Sudershan Garg, board chairman and a prominent oncologist, said in a statement Friday morning after the trustees unanimously voted to offer Tressel the presidency:
"After fully examining each and every candidate and reviewing input from hundreds of individuals across the campus and the community, the Board of Trustees believes Mr. Tressel is the right individual at the right time to lead Youngstown State University. Mr. Tressel has the personality and leadership skills, in addition to widespread community support, to dramatically raise YSU's profile and prominence across Ohio and the nation."
This writer has known Dr. Garg for many years and has never heard him speak in tongues — until now.
Tressel, executive vice president for student success at Akron University, has the "personality and leadership skills" to raise YSU's profile?
What profile?
Declining enrollment
An urban four-year institution with a declining enrollment, a growing budget deficit, low retention and graduation rates and an afterthought in Ohio's higher education scheme?
Now, compare Dr. Garg's statement with the comments from Atty. Richard W. Pogue, chairman of the board of trustees at Akron University and a prominent lawyer in the state, after Dr. Scott Scarborough, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at the University of Toledo, was named president:
"Dr. Scarborough clearly shares our vision for the University of Akron. We have confidence that he will help us advance our mission as a public research university committed to our students' success, to creating new models for sustaining academic excellence, and to our role as a vital contributor to the regional economy."
The three words that say it all are "public research university."
Perhaps it's unfair to compare statements from individuals who are not involved in the day-to-day operation of the universities. So, let's look at what the faculties at both institutions had to say about the presidential search.
Dr. Steve Weeks, president of the Akron Chapter of the American Association of University Professors and a biology professor, offered the following observation after Dr. Scarborough's appointment was announced:
"It's nice to see that we're all on the same page. It's always nice to have the president come in with solid support. … To be honest, we were hearing lots of rumors that it was going to be Tressel. That was the only candidate that we deemed to be unacceptable. He just didn't have the background at the moment."
By contrast, the leadership of the Ohio Education Association chapter representing YSU faculty joined other union leaders in endorsing Tressel.
Here's what their statement said:
"After having met with all three candidates and having attended most of the focus meetings, the three Union Presidents have decided to endorse Mr. James Tressel for University President. We are confident that Mr. Tressel is the one candidate who will continue to build and nourish our effort to establish an environment of trust, transparency, and open collaboration that we, as union leaders have worked hard to create. We believe that Mr. Tressel's commitment to these efforts will be honored throughout his Presidency."
The lie
Tressel is no longer permitted to coach college football because he lied to the NCAA when he said he was not aware of any football players at Ohio State exchanging much-sought-after football memorabilia for items of value, including tattoos.
Jim Tressel will soon be the face of Youngstown State University. What will people around the country, especially journalists, see?
If it's up to his supporters, they'll see a man who walks on water. (Wasn't the last one who did that crucified?)
"The three words that say it all are "public research university." I like that. Ties in with Akron's leading role in polymer research. YSU could play the same role in additive manufacturing- but, instead of Science and Technology, we picked the Gridiron instead and not only that we brought in a leader who, because of corruption, wouldn't be allowed to coach even if he wanted to (has a much better paying job now). I just don't get it. What's wrong with us? Seems to me if you want to shoot a gun off for kicks, you should aim it up at the sky and not at your foot. Youngstowner's have been shooting themselves in the foot for as long as I can remember.
Face it deScumbag, despite your ignorant pleas, YSU did what it should have and hired Tressel which will be a shot in the arm for the university and the community, which is bad news for you. Because once things start going well, your stupid anti-everything rants will have even less meaning than they do now. And Akron was about ready to hire him also, but he withdrew his name. Your irrelevancy around here just got that much greater.
UA got it right.....there were only three words that they needed to consider when deciding Tressels fate, "background" and "deemed unacceptable". Of course, "unacceptable backgrounds" have always been overlooked when choosing leaders in the Mahoning Valley. I re-read all of the recent "pro-Tressel" statements, and it was painfully obvious that no one could use words like "honesty" and "integrity" when gushing about his "profile". Of course the facts speak for themselves, but YSU chose to ignore them, instead opting for the "shiny object". Sad that this is the lesson passed on to the youth of this Valley.
I find the last paragraph of this article to be totally inappropriate.
Like the man or not, give him the benefit of the doubt. When the honeymoon is over and the work begins, then we will know if the choice was a good one.
Yes, Mr. Tressel is an outstanding leader --as a football coach. Yes, he is an outstanding speaker --of feel-good, Christian-heavy speeches ala Joel Osteen, and like Joel, a real charmer. Coaches dominate the leadership positions in our public schools -- principals, superintendents--now it seems with the hiring of Coach Tressel, that trend is making its way into higher education. Good luck, Mr. Tressel. You're going to need it.
HonestAbe...you missed the mark with only one word in your last post.....replace "experience" with "inexperience" and I think you nailed it!
Like him or not, everyone reads Bertram's Sunday columns. Nobody knows Youngstown better than Bert, except for our beloved Esther Hamilton, of happy memory, who knew the city inside and out. That makes him one of the Vindy's greatest assets, along with Joe Scalzo of course.
LOL Knightcap, YSU elitist? Have you ever been there? Despite the easy argument everyone tries to make that anyone who objects to Tressel is a snobby elitist concerned only about a Ph.d, it's about lack of real academic experience. No amount of blather about how leadership is leadership, he's a motivator blah, blah, blah, makes up for that.
Let's say you had a candidate with two years of lightweight experience as say "VP of athletic success," but this candidate, maybe even a Ph.D, had gained his fame by leading the academic quiz bowl team to several national championships--would you let him run the football program?
hooray, ysus' joining the big ten!! it's all about football. let's pack the stadium. the only one whoever brought good headlines for Youngstown is back get your heads out of the clouds. his supporters couldn't care less about student enrollment or ysu's massive debt. it's all about tailgating, packing the stands and national attention. why can't people be satisfied with a great small college. are they starved for attention?
Bert is the guy everybody loves to knock- that's why he's been around so long- he pisses people off. If he bored his readers- put them to sleep- I'll bet Mark and Mrs J. would have canned him a long time ago- but as long as he keeps everybody itching to punch him in the nose for his views- that's great "job security" for him and it helps the Publishers sell Newspapers.
Talking about Mrs J.- I bumped into her the other day at HandyMan Hardware- we were leaving at the same time. I had never met her before (recognized her from the paper) and I went over and told her I read the Vindy daily and that I thought everyone was doing a great job (which I meant). She was delighted, shook my hand, and told me I had "made" her day.
She seems like a nice lady- very petite and well spoken- and when I looked her up on "Facebook" I couldn't believe her age (birth year 1921). And still running a newspaper. More power to her! Shows one of the keys to longevity is to stay active. Nice memory for me, I'm glad I went over and talked to her...
P.S. I wonder if she would have shaken my hand, if she knew some of the stuff I said on her Message Board?
bert, I look forward to your future articles regarding tressels' job performance, good or bad.
Mixed feelings about the hole thing. I believe the university needs a true leader that isn't afraid of some the powers that exist at the university. Knows who some of the lousy players are, and can bring a cohesive long term interest to the university. Some that set in some of the upper management positions see the university as their personal little power-play. It's time for them to go, go anywhere but to the university everyday. They have no long term interest in the longevity of the institution. They are the vary problem the university has today. They drain it dry like a hole in a dike. He knows them, knows what they are about and knows they no longer belong. Many of us that are alumni will be watching. We love YSU and love what it USED to be. Get the dinosaurs out and bring in fresh people with long term interests that understand the university needs rescued, healed, and given a new breath of life. These prehistoric bloodsuckers can retire and should retire. Save the institution by booting the geriatric phonies.

I guess if I have to ask I probably should not do this myself, but I cannot continue on so helplessly. Gotta learn somehow. I am sure I can get the magic smoke back in the wires if some of it gets out during this process.
The game plan: a lighter, stronger lithium battery plus a fuse block for the GPS, heated vest, and LED aux lights. Right now I just have the GPS wired to the battery and the heated vest plugged in the BMW outlet. Would like to clean this up a little.
Now where in the heck will all these wires, blocks, and switched hide themselves.....?
If you are buying a fuze block, don't use the light canbus connector, but use the GPS connector as a switched trigger for the fuze block. The
other thread
has the cable in question. No need to drill your light housing this way
Yes, the power for the fuze block comes directly from the battery, and the trigger comes from the +12V wire off the GPS connector - there is only one that carries a +12V signal -IIRC it's the one labeled #3 but please check.
It's really easy to hook up nothing to it.
My Fuze Block *just* fits in the space under the battery ("tank") cover if you take the backing plate off and replace it with velcro.
