Tracy Ringolsby accuses Rangers of a "cover-up"
Mar 18, 2010, 5:25 PM EDT
A less-than-intellectually-inspired Tracy Ringlosby column today about Ron Washington
and the Rangers [I've deleted Ringolsby's unnecessary paragraph breaks
because I think readability is more important than faux drama]:
Washington is an engaging personality. He has developed a strong bond
with the Rangers players in his three years on the job. He's even won
over most of the critics he once faced in the Dallas-Fort Worth media
because of his straightforward approach. But some things can't be
ignored. Washington crossed that line last July when he dabbled with
cocaine. Washington and the Rangers tried to cover it up. They could
not, however, hide it forever. And it finally came out on Wednesday . .
. Face it, there was enough concern over what Washington did that the
manager and the team tried to hide it. They were exposed this week and
tried to put on a happy face. It's called whistling in the dark.
Was this really a "cover-up"? Because from where I'm sitting, it was a
situation in which an employee's drug test results were kept in-house.
Which is exactly what should be done with employee drug tests. Indeed, model
federal drug-free workplace guidelines set forth pretty strict
confidentiality rules for this sort of thing absent express written
consent by the employee to the contrary (which is why PED results are released for players). For their part, the Rangers
can do whatever they want with this stuff, but I'm guessing that they
don't have an "issue press release when drug test results come back"
policy. Nor should they.
But hey, maybe Ringolsby has a point here. To prove it, I'm going to go
ask FOX and whatever bankruptcy receiver has possession of the Rocky
Mountain News' old files for copies of Ringolsby's employee drug tests
dating back to, oh, 1978 or so. I'll let you know if I get them. Or if,
as was the case with Ron Washington, a cover-up is afoot.

Quick question. Why in the hell was my comment deleted for being "racist" on the primary Washington-Cocaine story?? All I said was Colt. 45 kinda guy? How does that qualify as racist? I've seen 10 times worse stuff on here and it gets to stay. You sounded like my dad when I was in the 6th grade for crying out loud.
- ctm - Mar 18, 2010 at 6:23 PM
I know what you mean. My dad tried to keep me from becoming racist when I was in sixth grade, too. Luckily for us, we both persisted and now are adult racists who automatically associate all criticisms of our racist comments with our own daddy-issues.
- Cru11 - Mar 18, 2010 at 6:29 PM
No, no CTM. You've got it all wrong. Did you even Craigs response to my initial post? He said something along the lines of "we don't need that crap around here." Thats what sounded like my dad so before you use all of your wit, Id suggest that you read the posts.
- Cru11 - Mar 18, 2010 at 6:54 PM
No, no ctm. Nice try though. Did you even read Craigs response to my initial post? He said something along the line of "we dont need that crap around here." Thats what reminded me of my dad. I suggest you read the posts before using all of your wit.
- Scott - Mar 18, 2010 at 7:29 PM
Why am I not surprised that Craig would be the type to see racism in even the most innocuous comment?
- EShine - Mar 18, 2010 at 7:47 PM
So Cru11, do you and Fuzzy Zoeller hang out and make stereotypical remarks about others that aren't racist?
- EShine - Mar 18, 2010 at 7:50 PM
Seriously, you should dig into Riglosby's past drug tests. What a joke that claim is.
- Cru11 - Mar 18, 2010 at 8:59 PM
Eshine, what the hell are you talking about? Nice Zoeller comment, did you borrow that via ctm?
- PRHEA - Mar 19, 2010 at 11:10 AM
Ringolsby is a hall of famer. he is a cowboy. he knows everything about the colorado rockies. he is the man. make him write about other stuff, and he struggles. too bad the RMN went under, cuz he could talk rockies all day. he named matt belisle the rox sleeper closer candidate. the man can pitch. he closed in AAA and pitched incredible last fall into the playoffs. we have no huston and it is not a problem

You probably haven't seen cheap centerpiece ideas as cute as this! Make your own paper globe decor to use as wedding reception centerpiece ideas or just around your house for everyday use. They're simple and thrifty too!
See this project and more on the blog!
- Colored Paper
- Brads
- Scissors and/or a paper cutter
- Hole punch (I used my Crop-a-Dile)
- The paper I used was standard 8 1/2" by 11" so I trimmed thin strips from the short side and then cut each strip in half--so each strip of paper was about 4 inches long and about 1/2" wide. When I make the rest of my centerpieces, I think I will make the strips of paper even thinner, perhaps 1/4" wide.
- Next I punched holes in both ends of each strip so that I could fit the brads through. I wouldn't recommend punching several at a time (although you know I did!) because my strips were not uniform widths, and some of my punches went off the edge.
- Once each strip has a hole punched on either end, insert a brad through each strip, and lock it in place by spreading the back flat.
- Then it was time to spread the strips apart to make a globe shape. This part's pretty self-explanatory--you just fan the strips out and arrange them evenly, with the brads on top and bottom.
- Repeat steps 1-4 until you have made a million paper globes. Then you can get married!

Fandango offers young dancers the opportunity to continue their study of Spanish Flamenco and Mexican Folklorico dance traditions. The dancers audition for the troupe and range in age from 11 to 19. They perform regularly during the summer at the Arneson River Theatre.
This troupe specializes in tap, jazz, hip hop and ballet. The troupe also performs during the summer months at the Arneson River Theater, with local talent providing vocals and acting as emcees. The show features group, ensembles and solos. Auditions are open to youth 11 - 19 years of age.
Once I was accepted into Alamotion at age 12, I stayed with this program for the next five years, I met some of my closest friends there and learned so much. While with Alamotion I was able to work with some amazing choreographers including: Geana Trevino, Alysya Perez, Erica Wilson-Perkins, Felipe De La Rosa, Tasha Lawson, Tamara Saj, William McClenan, Armando Maldonado, John Rodi from Komenka, LA, and Bana Ramanath.
With Alamotion, I was also able to expand my knowledge by having the opportunity to participate in workshops from various professional companies from Dallas, New York, Philadelphia, Colorado, and Ohio. The program has definitely helped me develop a professional attitude, sharpen my technique and artistry, and open my mind up to various types of dance and cultures. Without this program I would not have been able to dance in as many classes as I did and learn from some amazing teachers. Financially, my family would not have been able to afford this type of experience anywhere else.
I have excelled with the San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department and now have choreographed two pieces of work chosen to be performed at the Regional Dance America Southwest Festival.
With a desire to pursue dance and choreography, I have been accepted to Texas Christian University and their prestigious classical ballet and modern dance program and cannot wait to begin my studies there. I am so thankful for the discipline and encouragement I received from the teachers and dance directors at SA Parks and Recreation. I know that the program was extremely beneficial to my pursuit of a dance career as well as learning life skills, team work, discipline, how to keep in shape physically and always go for my dream! Thanks to SA Parks & Recreation, Mona Lisa Montgomery, Geana Trevino and Alysya Perez for helping me accomplish and reach my dreams!!

deodorant for puppiesPosted by: Alberto Fernandez

Hi. I read everything about how bad it is to bath a puppy. I bought a deodorant that you spray on the puppy's body and give them a nice scent, but I'm not sure if this might do something bad to their skin.

"Diverse" business owners can learn about opportunities for doing business with Elizabethtown Community and Technical College at a June 19 seminar on campus.
"The key is 'opportunity,'" said Dr. Thelma J. White, ECTC president. "We want to provide area diverse business owners with the opportunity to easily learn about, and compete for, the goods and services that are needed here at our college as well as at other area colleges within the Kentucky Community and Technical College System."
First Financial Service Corp. completed a series of key additions to the leadership team of the company and its subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank of Elizabethtown.
Frank Perez, a certified public accountant, joins the bank as executive vice president and chief financial officer. He is relocating from the Nashville, Tenn., area and brings more than 15 years of experience in capital markets.
The sale of four Jefferson County branches will help First Federal Savings Bank's parent company meet financial assurances required by its consent decree with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the corporate president said.
Coupled with a previously announced sale of its Indiana branches, the deals provide $44 million in equity for the Elizabethtown-based bank, which has failed to record an annual profit since 2008.
Snappy Tomato Pizza in Elizabethtown is adding games and attractions as a test for the corporation to see if Snappy Fun Zones should be added in other locations.
The facility is planned to open on or before June 1 at its store on Dolphin Drive.
First Federal Savings Bank announced the sale of its Jefferson County locations this morning.
Coupled with a previously announced sale of its Indiana branches, the deals provide $44 million in equity to help meet financial assurances required by a consent decree with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
Two Hart County companies are adding about 140 new jobs.
In a news release from Hart County Judge-Executive Terry Martin, Dart Container is adding 60 employees and Sister Schubert is adding 80 additional positions.
Dart Container, which has more than 1,300 employees, recently purchased Solo Cup prompting the additional hires. The company employs more than 7,600 workers at 20 production facilities worldwide and manufactures more than 600 products.

Perfect for our 1918 bungalow!
Sheyna from Saint Paul, MN – Verified Buyer
We wanted a fireplace that would fit in with our 1918 Craftsman bungalow and its built-in corner china cabinets. This matches nearly perfectly. The wood is beautiful and easy to care for. The entire fireplace arrived in one large box. (We paid the extra $20 to have it brought inside.) It is a *heavy* box. The wood surround went together quickly and easily, in about 10 minutes. The fireplace box is all assembled, and looks fabulous. I posted a 30-second video of the flames online and friends thought the fire was real. The heat works extremely well -- enough to heat 600 feet of our main floor within half an hour. I love that it has a thermostat (turn the knob until the heat clicks on or off, and it will keep it at that temperature). One of the best investments we've made! (And if you're wondering about the flame lights -- it's created by two easy-to-replace bulbs.) We've been using this daily for about six months, and no complaints at all!
Everything we were looking for.
Elizabeth from Georgetown, TX – Verified Buyer
This fireplace is everything we wanted. Checked it out at our fireplace shop and we saved a good amount of money by ordering from Wayfair. We knew we wanted this brand and really shopped around for it. It is very attractive and was super easy to assemble. It has a easy remote and the flames are most attractive. The wood is well done. Fits beautifully into our home. The size of this fireplace makes it easy to change around the room. We have had many compliments on it already. The shipper was great and dropped it just where we requested. We are very happy with this fireplace.
The best decision I ever made!
Melo Yelo from Florida – Verified Buyer
I purchased this product along with a 65 inch LCD TV, we had to replace the older TV that was a 73 inch floor model that sat in the corner due to the way our sofa has to be situated in our family room. When we started looking at TV's we noticed that having an LCD on the wall would be impossible since the place we had to put it was in a corner area. After browsing several different things I decided that I liked the fireplace look with the TV on top ... and it covered the same area as the old TV covered. I was a little aprehensive since I purchase the TV at half what it was listed for ... I didn't know if it would hold my new TV and I didn't know how well it was made nor how life like the flames were. The fireplace was more than I could have hoped for, it holds the TV with no problem, the flames are beautiful and it's fooled many of my friends in to thinking the flames were real. The heat that comes from the unit heats our kitchen and family room and these are large rooms with 10 foot ceilings. We are VERY HAPPY with the product and what it does ... I have absolutely no bad comments to make about this at all... if you are thinking of buying one BUY IT you won't be sorry. It only took me 15 minutes to put the entire fireplace together!
Exactly what we were looking for!!
susan from Brandon, MS – Verified Buyer
As someone said, it took longer to get it unpacked than it took to put together. It arrived on the coldest day this winter and we were enjoying the warmth of the heater in no time in our sunroom. We love the look!! Still amazed at how easy it was to put together!!
A beautiful addition to our home!
Delighted customer from Fairfax County, VA – Verified Buyer
We always wanted a fireplace upstairs, but did not want to deal with ventilation, fuel, etc. This lovely fireplace both warms and beautifies our master bedroom. It's so comforting and quiet. Amazing that it just plugs into the wall, and it's energy efficient! Fireplace and surround are nice and heavy for durability; we unpacked the crate downstairs and carried the components upstairs for very easy assembly. Sometimes we turn on just the flame, sometimes both flame and heat. We plan to buy more Dimplex fireplaces from Wayfair.
Claudia from Prescott, AZ – Verified Buyer
Easy to assemble. Cabinet is rich looking and sturdy. Flame is realistic for electric.
This product is terrific!
Kim from Yakima, WA
Ordering this product was a breeze. It was priced online less than 1/2 what I would have paid at the store. It [...] was easy to assemble. The logs and flames are very realistic looking. I enjoy it so much -- it adds such a nice touch to my family room. The remote is convenient. Definitely a high-quality product.
I love this fireplace
TJ from Fort Worth, Texas – Verified Buyer
This piece is a great find. Not only is it a great source of heat, which was my primary goal, it is a beautiful piece of furniture. It was easy to put together too. I would recommend this item. Merry Christmas to me!!!!
BG from Ohio – Verified Buyer
Billie Jo from Buffalo,NY – Verified Buyer
This product is top notch! My husband had set a whole day aside to put it together and he was done in less than one hour. We were both impressed! Top quality electric fireplace!

Almost Robbed in Jamaica
View Single Post
Joined: Jun 2007
Location: Madison, Wisconsin and/or Panama, Panama
Oddometer: 7,991
This was my 5th time to Jamaica since about '95. I'd been harassed by street and beach vendors, but never threatened.
What I did right:
Engaged the villains in conversation.
Bought time.
Did not show fear (but holy shit my heart was beating! And I kept thinking Shit This Is Gonna Hurt!)
Stood up straight.
Looked them both in the eye.
Said "No," and meant it.
Escaped as soon as possible.
What I did wrong:
I'd had one beer. Really only one. But it was out of a big silly bright pink bong shaped plastic cup that screamed "Easy Tourist!"
I didn't have a clear plan with my gf. She didn't see me when she exited the lady's room, so she went back to the club and waited.
I was dressed like a tourist.
Jon is right: don't shave, let your hair go, and stink a little. Kinda hard to do at a fancy all-inclusive though. Remind me to stick to motorcycles and horses.
In othe news, I thought I'd eecovered from being sick, but my right ear must still be inflamed. I couldn't get below 20 feet down and had to abandon my one try at scuba on this trip. Jamaica diving is usually good. My ear still hurts.
I am Charlie.

Semester 1+2
Pre-requisite modules Where students take this course as a 10 credit unit they will be expected to undertake self directed study of the material not covered from the readin
Current international events have intensified focus on the European Union¿s role in a globalized world. The standard view presents EU efforts to develop a united and coherent political identity as relatively unsuccessful. A contrasting view has emerged suggesting that the EU has gradually developed a distinctive identity in international affairs, predicated upon an increasing degree of unity on core European norms and values. From this perspective the EU is seen as developing normative power that compares favourably to the US¿s soft (and hard) power. The proposed module will explore these debates over the EU¿s effectiveness as a normative power in its external relations with a number of strategically important areas of the world.
These courses are taught by a combination of lectures, classes and directed reading.
This module is available as:
Autumn term only 10 credit unit – 3,000 word assessed essay

Morten Albaek on wind energy
Research released this week by Vestas Wind Systems, the biggest manufacturer of wind turbines globally, has found that 'demand for renewables in the Australian market is maturing'.
But at the same time Energy Australia has warned that community opposition to local wind developments could derail the renewable energy target.
Vestas is responsible for the raising of 47,000 wind turbines in over 70 countries across six continents, including Australia.
We hear from Morten Albaek, the chief marketing officer for Vestas, who has developed the WindMade energy label. Before he became so involved with the wind industry he was a philosopher, author and banker in Denmark.

A mouthwatering sandwich first sold at Maine roadside stands in the 1970s, traditional lobster rolls are made with butter-soaked lobster meat stuffed into fluffy, white hot dog buns. Make a healthier version of this classic (and still popular!) lunch dish by tossing lobster meat with Greek yogurt instead of butter, seasoning with fresh herbs and serving atop a whole grain roll.
Lobster Rolls
Serves 4 to 8
1-1/2 lbs. cooked lobster meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 Tbsp. Greek plain yogurt
1/2 tsp. fresh dill
Sea salt and pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
8 whole grain buns
1. Combine lobster meat, yogurt, dill, salt and pepper in a large bowl; mix well to combine.
2. Spread melted butter onto whole grain buns and top each with lobster mixture.
3. Serve immediately.

Without debating Ross' merits as a defensive catcher, he is hitting .189 in July and the Reds have no other starting alternative in the majors or high minor leagues. As the trade deadline approaches, as much as the Reds need pitching, they also have to focus on the catcher position. I think acquiring a catcher should be a priority, now or in the off-season. At least someone to provide an alternative to Ross if his bat doesn't come around.
With all the focus on adding pitching, I wonder what major league or high minors level catchers may be available. I know the Braves have a highly touted guy, although he may not be on the market.
Any thoughts?

Bargain hunters are wise to pay careful attention to insider buying, because although there are many various reasons for an insider to sell a stock, presumably the only reason they would use their hard-earned cash to make a purchase, is that they expect to make money. Today we look at one noteworthy recent insider buy.
On Tuesday, Executive Vice President Joseph M. Beedle purchased $101,614 worth of Northrim BancCorp (NRIM), purchasing 4,125 shares at a cost of $24.63 a piece. Before this latest buy, Beedle made one other purchase in the past twelve months, buying $18,018 shares for a cost of $24.02 each. Northrim BancCorp is trading up about 1% on the day Thursday.

Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) is an arm's length regulatory Agency of the Ontario government. It reports to the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General (AGCO). Responsibilities of the AGCO include the administration of:
- Liquor Licence Act
- Gaming Control Act, 1992
- Wine Content and Labelling Act, 2000
- Liquor Control Act (Section 3(1)b, e, f, g and 3(2)a)
- Charity Lottery Licensing Order-in-Council 2688/93
The AGCO was established February 23, 1998 by the Government of Ontario under the Alcohol and Gaming Regulation and Public Protection Act of 1996. This Act transferred responsibility for the Liquor Licence Act and the Gaming Control Act to AGCO. It was a result of the amalgamation of the Liquor License Board of Ontario and the Gaming Control Commission Ontario.
As a result of the establishment of the AGCO, the Government of Ontario passed complementary legislation to extinguish the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario and the Gaming Control Commission.
The mandate of the AGCO is to:
- regulate the sale, service, and consumption of beverage alcohol;
- ensure that casino and charitable gaming is conducted in a manner that is socially responsible, and in the public interest.

|Criterion A
|Local legend connects this tree with the story of a robbery in Cunnamulla in 1880, which had repercussions for the practice of capital punishment in Queensland.
|Criterion G
|The Robber's Tree is significant for its strong social value to the community as the focus of a local bushranger legend in southwest Queensland and it has become a feature of interest to tourists.
|Although the Warrego River district in southwest Queensland was explored briefly by Thomas Mitchell in 1846 and Edmund Kennedy in 1847, the main impetus for pastoral development of the Warrego occurred in the 1860s, following William Landsborough's exploration of the area in 1862 during his search for the ill-fated Burke and Wills expedition. In 1862 Landsborough and his second in command, George Bourne, both published journals of their expedition from the Gulf of Carpentaria south to Melbourne, identifying good pastoral land along the Warrego River. In 1867 a petition was presented to Parliament seeking the establishment of a town reserve at the intersection of two main stock routes beside the Warrego River, and the township of Cunnamulla was surveyed the same year. The name is thought to be an Aboriginal term meaning 'long stretch of water'. By 1871 Cunnamulla had a population of 45. The town grew slowly in the 1870s, gaining momentum toward the end of the decade. A court house reserve was surveyed in 1874, and the 1874 Postal Directory lists a police magistrate who also conducted the court of petty sessions, a police inspector, a post master and a poundkeeper. A branch of the Queensland Government Savings Bank also operated by this date. The Cunnamulla State School was established in 1878, and in 1879 the Paroo Divisional Board, based at Cunnamulla, was proclaimed. The period 1880 to 1900 was one of consolidation for the town, which became the service centre for an expanding pastoral district. Cobb & Co. began to run passenger coaches from Charleville to Cunnamulla in 1881, and gained the mail contract in 1883. By 1881 two banks were operating in the town, the Queensland National Bank established by January 1880, and the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney, opened in 1880. The town became a railhead in the late 1890s. In 1880 an incident occurred that provided the township of Cunnamulla with considerable publicity. On 16 January 1880 Joseph Wells, a station hand, robbed the Queensland National Bank at Cunnamulla at gunpoint. The alarm was raised and as Wells was about to leave the bank, storekeeper William Murphy from next door attempted to restrain him and in the scuffle, was shot accidentally in the shoulder. This allowed Wells to escape from the bank, only to find that a crowd of onlookers was gathering outside. As he tried to leave the scene on horseback, the horse's bridle broke and, in desperation, the robber ran toward the outskirts of the town. Amongst the crowd of onlookers were two men with unloaded guns, who gave chase. Turning on them and threatening to shoot if they didn't retreat, Wells ran into the bush. The police were alerted and organised an intensive search for the robber, who may have escaped detection but for the persistence of a sheep dog which had followed Wells' scent and sat barking under a tree. On investigating, the local police sergeant discovered that Wells had taken refuge in the branches of the tree, where he was well camouflaged. Wells was arrested and stood trial in Toowoomba, charged with armed robbery with wounding. He was found guilty and received the maximum penalty, death. Because of the accidental nature of Murphy's wounding and the fact that Wells had not had legal representation during his trial, opponents of capital punishment, including several members of Parliament, appealed to the Full Court on Wells' behalf. Despite these appeals and much debate about capital punishment in the Queensland press, Wells was executed on 22 March 1880. However, the saga had its legacy, with Wells becoming the last man to be executed for armed robbery with wounding in Queensland. One of his supporters, Arthur Rutledge MLA, on becoming Attorney General (November 1883 to June 1888), legislated to have armed robbery removed from the list of capital offences in Queensland. The tree in which Wells hid has become integrally associated with the robber's story and its outcome, and is a feature of interest to tourists.
|The Robber's Tree is situated on the outskirts of Cunnamulla at the southern end of Stockyard Street, near the corner of Bedford Street, on a low sand ridge. A low fence of metal posts and wire has been constructed around it. The tree is a mature specimen, said to be a Cypress Pine [Callitris cupressiformis], measuring 15 metres high in 1979. The Cypress Pine is an Australian native, resistant to dry, sandy conditions, and is found in all States.

MSU, in an attempt to raise money, has launched a "naming opportunity" to attract private donations. For a set amount of money, individuals can have buildings, classrooms, halls or even equipment named after them. It isn't cheap. For a contribution of $5 million, a donor can have his or her name branded on the College of Health Sciences and Human Services. Classrooms in most buildings run about $25,000.

Students are the core of any university. This program allows deserving students to receive the education they would otherwise not be able to attain because of financial inabilities. Every bit of money given to the scholarship division of the naming program benefits students by offering scholarships and financial aid. Since about 20 percent of the university's income comes from private donations, it is imperative that MSU employs aggressive tactics in raising funds. This naming program is one of the smartest fundraising programs MSU has in place. Hopes are high that this program takes off and interests the appropriate donors. www.thewichitan.com the wichitan Making a name for MSU The most popular fundraisers seem to be bake sales, cake-walks, carwashes and auctions (silent or otherwise). MSU is taking the reigns this year on a diffferent type of fundraiser, one that will bring in the big bucks and have a lasting impact on the donors, the school and the students. For the past five years, donors have been offered `naming opportunities' for various classrooms, common areas and scholarships at MSU. It may not seem like that big of a deal, but in reality, it's important to the life of our university as well as the involvement of the community. Patrons are asked to pay a negotiable amount to MSU so they can name the physical space of their choosing. Cost of these spaces ranges from $25,000 to $5 million. Donors choosing to name endowments/scholarships must begin their donations at $10,000, and have no set limit. This type of fundraiser benefits all parties involved for a lifetime, instead of just having someone buy something at a fundraiser that they will forget about, eat, or never use again. These donations are a mark on the community for the patrons as well as for MSU. For donors, this naming opportunity makes a permanent effect on the MSU community. Alumni donors may feel more connected and involved with the university, even if they are unable to visit or make regular contributions. The donors also benefit by getting a nice tax cut from their generous donations. For the university this naming program is a great opportunity and idea.

I understand that the wages of the top echelon may be of interest to the public. I understand that the levels of pay overall can be of interest to the public when compared to other universities, or private industry, or other locations. I understand that the total paid in wages may be of interest to the public as a matter of university budget, tax increase proposals or other related concerns. However, I am deeply offended that you would publish the individual wages of each staff and faculty member. I do not see how the specific wage of any particular individual below the leadership level is of public concern. It is particularly insensitive to those of us who are students who are married to staff -you've invaded the privacy of not only the staff, but the students who are part of their families. How can it possibly be in the public's interest to know what each individual janitor earns? What each individual technician, food service, or administrative assistant earns? This is incredibly insensitive to the people who serve the students of this university. Salaries are always sensitive issues, and now you've made it possible for every staff member to be unnecessarily distracted by knowing what their peers are earning. You've just given an entire community the ability to make judgments about performance levels of each Johnny Blevins individual. And created an immense opportunity for anger among peers: how many are now going to say "I work just as hard as that guy and look at what he makes!" or "Look how much less Johnny is making save their money and can still than I am � he must have got a horrible performance able to share and unite in.

The Texas Rangers, as you may now, made it to the World Series (of baseball, for all those who don't follow along with sports) for the second year in a row. The deciding game saw the Rangers team fielding its home turf in Arlington. The massively important game against the Detroit Tigers sold out the stadium. The fans came out in huge numbers. The stadium was at 104.8 percent capacity! Pretty impressive for a country suffering economically. What does this type of turnout say about Americans? To me it says that Americans have hope. It proves the pride the U.S. people have in their country and in their traditions. It shows that, despite turmoil and financial downfalls, there are still activities that Americans are versial sport. With all of the steroid accusations, in-your-face team pride and gloating of who has a better ballpark, things are bound to get tense every once in a while. But where's the fun in abandoning competition just because of a recession? It's refreshing to think that despite hardships people of all ages, races, genders and religions are able to share a common interest, no matter the cost. And, even though the turnout wouldn't show it, the cost is high. Tickets for the Tigers vs. Rangers game started at $71 per seat, with regular tickets reaching prices as high as $250! Even though gas prices are getting close to hitting $4 a gallon, it's nice to know that Americans YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!! Since you obviously don't see this as any kind of violation of the families' privacy, I demand that you publish the salaries of every member of your immediate family: father, mother, spouse, siblings, in-laws, etc. What? You don't want to do that? The very reasons coursing through your mind right now are things you should have thought of when you published rank and file salaries of the staff and faculty. They are people with families and neighbors. You've violated their privacy. Don't be surprised if you see a reduction in services from these professionals. You've earned it!

Formerly the vice president for university advancement and student affairs, Farrell is now the vice president of university advancement and public affairs. The office of Dr. Keith Lamb, which last week became the Office of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, has picked up the slack of looking after students. "We split that up," Farrell said. This move will free Farrell up to raise more funds for the university. "I need to ramp up whatever we do," he said. "Whatever we do is not an `8 to 5.' You need to have a passion for this.

The administrators' strategy: distributing material about naming opportunities to CPAs and others Farrell referred to as "wealth management individuals." "We wanted to give the information to them so that when they talk to these people who have the resources, they can say, `Have you ever considered Midwestern State University?'

Three administrative positions have been restructured. Dr. Keith Lamb, former vice president of student affairs, has had "enrollment management" added to his title. MSU President Dr. Jesse Rogers said Lamb was selected because of his experience with student activities, with student government and his close relationship with many of the university's students. "Enrollment management is a concept that has been around for over 20 years," Rogers said. "In this position, Dr. Lamb will work with the Office of Admissions on recruiting." Additionally, he will work with the Office of Financial aid. "It is important that a university has cooperation between these offices in order to serve all of the students' needs, particularly for those applying for admission to MSU," Rogers said. Administration revamps job positions Rogers believes that Lamb's knowledge, personality and his recent completion of a Ph.D. in higher education administration uniquely qualify him for this position. Dr. Robert Clark, vice president of administration and institutional effectiveness, will now head the effort for reaffirmation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). With that title, he will also make travel arrangements for the SACS off-site visit to the campus. "This is a huge job and he will spend most of his time writing the entire report for the university over the next year and a half," Rogers said. Clark will also be in charge of the Information Systems Department of the university where he will oversee MSU's move into a new area of information technology. This will allow communication between MSU and students, Rogers said. "Dr. Clark is particularly suited for this because of his long-term experience as a professor and his experience with information technology." Now the Vice President of University Advancement and Public Affairs, Dr. Howard Farrell is beginning a large fund-raising campaign that will last for the next three years. Before the administration change-up, Farrell was vice president of university advancement and student affairs. But public affairs is not a new division of the university. Farrell's title was changed to better reflect those offices that report to him, Rogers said. "Raising funds requires personal and professional relationships that are established and maintained over a long period of time," Rogers said. news www.thewichitan.com the wichitan The MSU chapter of the NAACP tackles the `Battle of the Sexes' by discussing gender and race stereotypes that stereotyped Americans of different cultural backgrounds.

One audience member, Novelle Will"We wanted to give students that opliams agreed. "Ignorance feeds stereotypes," Williams said. "There's nothing you can use to battle stereotypes except exposure. Before I came (to the United States), people told me Americans aren't smart, but interaction with American students changed (my view)." "What is interesting about stereotyping in America," J. Ellis said, "is we associate everything white as being American and everything else as AfricanHannah Hofmann American, Native American or Asian-American." Panelists Robert Stewart and Zach Zoet speak on gender issues at NAACP's Battle of the Sexes. "If you're in a minority group portunity, just to see what sexes think, and voice their opinions on certain topics," she said. In preparation for the event, the organizers divided the room into two groups, directing males and females to seats on opposite sides of the aisle. The five panelists who shared their views and experiences came from a plethora of backgrounds. On the male side of the aisle sat Dominique Ellis, an African-American student; Robert Stewart, a historian who is currently doing research for his thesis on the historical desegregation of races in Wichita Falls; and Zach Zoet, a homosexual student. On the female side sat Cammie Dean, a single parent and the coordinator of UPB; and Jasmine Ellis, a multiracial student. The session began with six volunteers from the audience reading descriptions that's already looked down upon, you have to make an extra step," she said. "By constantly having to police ourselves to not be the stereotype, we are saying that the rules are okay." Audience member Abbie Scott said the media is responsible for perpetuating those stereotypes. "Our culture prevents people from being themselves," Scott said. "We should be correcting those perceptions that people may or may not have." Dean added that when people buy into media that reinforce stereotypes that complicates the problem. "We attribute certain negative descriptions to certain people," she said. "I've been to ghettoes that are not black. There is nothing that justifies the stereotypes we maintain." Scott said not all stereotypes are negative. "There are positive stereotypes associated with races," she said, "like blacks are great athletes but there are clumsy blacks." One audience member said the solution to the problem is to stop spreading a blanket, to stop making generalizations. The discussion was steered in a different direction when Balogun asked whether stereotypes play a role in Americans' acceptance of interracial relationships. J. Ellis said if black people date people of another race, their motives are questioned. Dean said the rules are different for men and women when it comes to interracial relationships. "There tends to be a problem with women being in interracial relationships," she said. "People will ask `Why is she betraying her race?'" "We are living in country where white women are upheld as the epitome of beauty," Dean said. J. Ellis said there is a new generation of black women who do not perpetuate that stereotype. Stewart began another segment of discussions by talking about how gender roles are changing. They are different from the roles he was taught as a child. "My dad said you need to marry a woman who would be in the kitchen and having babies," Stewart said. He had to learn to be a companion to his wife and not treat her like someone he just shared a bank account with. J. Ellis said in the past, gender roles were rigidly defined, but now those roles are different. "Most women are not going to be housewives," she said. "Most of us are not going to stop our careers when we have babies. Nobody knows what their role has to be anymore." Scott said men and women are programmed differently. "Men and women are biologically different," she said. "Our brains are different and we will not communicate the same way but appreciate our differences." When the discussion came around to the homosexual stereotypes, Zoet said people often try to classify gay relationships by heterosexual terms. In response to the question of whether homosexual couples make good parents, D. Ellis said children of homosexual parents are sometimes better off than children in single-parent families. Dean said the key to debunking stereotypes is teaching children to value all people as good. "Parents need to teach their children these values before someone else does," she said. "We can't ignore the fact that stereotypes affect people who have decisionmaking influence," Dean said. "Whether or not we take it seriously, we will be judged by our race, gender and sexuality. People in power are still making decisions based on these stereotypes." Stewart warned the audience against inventing new labels for people. He said people are so busy pointing other people in a certain direction, they may be creating new stereotypes. Wednesday the wichitan October 19, 201 1 Chris Brown gives R-rated performance R& B singer and good-boy-gone bad Chris Brown performed at Gexa Energy Pavilion last Friday in Dallas. I was in attendance with my 17-yearold sister for her upcoming birthday. We've been on "Team Breezy" since his Run It days and we're still "Team Breezy," despite his multiple run-ins with the law. The last time we saw Chris Brown in concert was in 2008 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Since then, Brown has dyed his hair blonde, had multiple altercations with police and tatted up his entire arm and chest area. These factors definitely made it a different experience from what we had four years ago. The opening act did exactly what an opening act should do, pumped up the crowd and set the tone for what was to come. TYGA was the opening act. With his gold chain, snap back, and tatted body, TYGA showed why he's ready to make his mark in the rap industry. Bow Wow, who recently joined the tour, performed next. Although Bow Wow had girls screaming at the top of their lungs while he performed, I was not very impressed. First, Bow Wow's haircut made him look like he was five years old. Compared to what his fellow performers wore, he could have put a little more effort in his wardrobe choice. Second, since Bow Wow hasn't released anything in about 4 years, he performed songs that made him relevant four years ago. Third, he performed the exact same songs, in what seemed to me the exact same order, he performed back in 2008 at American Airlines Center. Bow Wow is set to drop his new album Underrated before the end of the year. Two time Grammy winner T-Pain was the last act to perform. T-Pain has been out of the spotlight for a while but recently released the single Booty Work which is revamping his career. Although T-Pain is notorious for his auto-tuned voice, his live show was more than I expected it to be. He delivered most of the songs he has ever been featured on, with hits like Bartender and Buy You A Drank. He even went back a couple of years and performed his infamous song I'm in Love With a Stripper. Although his background dancers were mediocre, I was highly impressed with T-Pain's vocal abilities. He gave a shout out to all of his haters who bashed him for saying he couldn't sing without auto-tune. He definitely proved them wrong with his all-around performance. Finally, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived. The curtain that had been up all night finally dropped. The massive stage was unveiled. Chris Brown came out on a 20-foot stage performing one of his songs from his latest cd. Brown performed some of the songs he released early on in his career that made him the superstar he is today. Unfortunately for parents who were there with their kids, Brown's latest songs are not very kid-friendly. Words like f*** and n**** were heavily used throughout the night. It was so sexual I started to feel uncomfortable allowing my almost-18year old sister listen to what he was saying. Brown gave a high-energy performance with many costume changes. He began with an all camouflage outfit and by the end of the night he was shirtless, exposing his sweaty, tatted body. As always, Brown made sure to show off his superb dance skills by adding high energy dance routines. This was my first time at Gexa Energy Pavilion. Sadly, I was not very impressed. The venue was filled with trash under the seats. People came late to the concert which became annoying to have to let them pass because of the crammed seats. There were also times when it got so hot my sister and I couldn't breathe. All in all, I enjoyed the concert. It's hard to compare the concert to the one in 2008, mainly because Chris Brown is not the same artist he used to be. The teen heartthrob I was once in love with has grown up into a man with a new image. Not sure how I feel about it. a&e 5 www.thewichitan.com ANASTASIA REED A&E EDITOR Peace, Love & Lipgloss Photo Courtesy Makeup artists' best-kept secrets Getting a makeover at a cosmetic counter always makes a girl feel like a princess.

The festival celebrated the end of Hispanic Heritage Month. MSU students involved with Project BOW (Bilingual/ESL Opportunities Window) fundraised and recruited potential participants interested in going through the program. "With the Hispanic population growing, more bilingual teachers are needed," Zavala President Angelina Chapa said. The project is designed for future educators to become trained as ESL/bilingual teachers so they can work with students who are weak in English. The program is headed by MSU in collaboration with Region 9 Educational Service Center and WFISD. The Zavala Hispanic Cultural Initiative brought red and yellow balloons as well as a light and happy atmosphere to the downtown Farmers Market.

It is a perky pop ditty with just enough low-fi murkiness to make it hip. "Pumped Up Kicks" is also a song about a kid preparing to shoot his classmates at school. Maybe we're desensitized by the almost absurdly violent first-person-shooter video games so many kids spend their afternoons playing. Maybe naming the song after fancy sneakers instead of the weaponry creates enough emotional distance. Or maybe we figure -- as I initially did -- that it's just pop music, and its ear-candy qualities trump whatever the point of view might be. But after looking closely at the song's lyrics and listening to it many extra times, I have come to agree that this song is more deserving of a push away than the warm embrace it has mostly received. The tune has been top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart since Aug. 27, No. 3 for the last five weeks. It's a nice story, almost. I'm not sure what's subtle about "outrun my gun" -- or the verse in which the protagonist appears to shoot his dad. But acknowledging that the song is dark is about as far as most critics who have reviewed "Torches," Foster the People's debut album, have come to engaging with "Pumped Up Kicks." I'll go further and say that while I will certainly stand up for Foster's right to try such a thing, and while I don't doubt his sincerity, his reach simply exceeds his grasp. Foster is no Katy Perry, brazenly exploiting teen sexuality for the sake of "controversy." You might argue that the tune's cheeriness is a symbol of just how far off the deep end this kid has gone. That would be a more reasonable interpretation, though, if Foster were more in control of his lyrics: if he were not, for instance, switching from third to first person in the few lines he's written or offering as the only possible bits of explanation for the shootings sneaker envy and the tidbit that "Daddy works a long day." We don't know why he's planning to do what he does, only that the songs temporary narrator sees him as sort of glamorous. That just doesn't feel very pop. a&e he twichitan www.thewichitan.com Song about killing classmates becomes popular s Pumped Up Kicks Lyrics s Robert's got a quick hand.

The New York based company, with a division in Austin, make one-of-a-kind woodblock apparel with each design being hand cut into a piece of wood then custom printed on site. Drive by Press Austin's Tyler Krasowski presented detailed knowledge on the history and unique procedures with a MSU print making class. Senior Art Major Soozie Amador said Drive By Press showed her different methods of print making that are outside of an art studio. Amador has dreams of one day illustrating children's books. "An easier way to make multiple editions would be print making instead of paint the same picture over and over again," Amador said. Tuesday's print making demo gave Amador insight on the mobile print making industry. "This is a good opportunity to see different processes of art work that we might not get the chance to see if we aren't majoring in the art program," Senior Graphic Design Major Trey Davis said. Graphic design and print making go hand-in-hand with graphic design having elements of print making that can help translate various medias, Davis onstrate with students.

If you wait and watch you will see rucks, scrums, and mauls. If you're unfamiliar with these terms, you're not alone. Welcome to the world of rugby. The young men gathered are part of the MSU Rugby Club. North Texas is not normally a hotbed of rugby activity but Coach Rod Puentes is trying to change that. Puentes started playing rugby while he was a student at Texas A&M University. "I was always too short to play football, with rugby it doesn't matter what size you are. Anyone can play," Puentes said. As a MSU graduate student, Puentes started the team in 1988. Rugby at MSU is a club sport, playing other college and men's rugby clubs. "This is one of the few sports that you can play for a lifetime, anywhere you go, all year long," Puentes said. Puentes said he loves the international aspect of the game. MSU rugby players come from all over the world, so the diversity of the club is not surprising. MSU Senior Matthew Cobb plans to graduate in December with a degree in marketing. He has been playing rugby at MSU two years. "It's non-stop action," Cobb said. "There are plays, but you never know what's going to happen." As for anyone thinking about coming out to play rugby, Cobb offers his advice to just stick with it. "When you come out here you don't know what's going on," Cobb said. "The coaches are great. They will do anything you need to help you improve your game." Cobb is from the Dallas area, but is not sure where he will go after college. "I plan on finding a rugby club no matter where I end up," Cobb said. Rugby is played with 15 people per team with only one referee keeping an eye on what some describe as a m�l�e. The ball looks like an overstuffed American football with the ends rounded off. The field is 100 meters long and up to 70 meters wide. The game is divided into two 40-minute halves and the clock rarely stops. Rugby players play both offense and defense. Substitutions during the game are allowed, but only seven, so if you have to come out of the game, you don't go back in. The object, of course, is to score more points than your opponents. Points are earned in different ways. A "try" is worth five points. To score a try, a player runs into the end zone (in goal) and must place the ball on the ground with their hand. After a try is scored, the team attempts kicking the ball through the posts for two more points. This is called a conversion. The conversion kick is taken from any distance back on the field, in line with where the try was touched down. To make it easier for the kicker, players generally want to be near the center of the field when scoring the try. After a conversion, the ball is kicked back to the team that just scored. The final way to score is to kick the ball through the posts, either on a penalty kick or a drop kick for three points. The game starts at center field with a drop kick. The ball must be dropped to the ground before it is kicked, and must travel at least 10 meters. During play, the team with possession may run, pass, or kick the ball to move it down field. Players on the other team can tackle, hold or push the ball carrier but cannot obstruct or tackle any other player. If a player on the opposing team is lining up to tackle your ball carrier, you cannot block or tackle him. A fundamental rule of rugby is that the ball cannot be passed forward. If the ball is passed forward, play stops. To restart play the teams form two groups in a scrummage or scrum. Eight team members (the forwards) line up in two rows, lock arms and push against the other team to gain control of the ball. The ball is fed straight into the space between the two front rows (the tunnel) by the scrumhalf. No hand contact with the ball is allowed during a scrum, players try to hook the ball with their foot sports 7 www.thewichitan.com and move it out the back of the pile. The ball can then be picked up by the scrumhalf to resume play. Play also stops when the ball goes out of bounds (in touch). In this case, the ball is tossed in the air between the two teams. The two sides jump or lift a player to gain possession of the ball. When the player running with the ball is tackled to the ground, they must release the ball. The two teams then push over the ball and the tackled player. This is known as a ruck. Again, no hands can be used (unless you are a scrumhalf). If a player is tackled but does not go to the ground, it is called a maul. During a maul, hands can be used to try and strip the ball away from the carrier. To play, all a person needs is a T-shirt, athletic shorts, shoes (like soccer cleats) and a mouth guard. A mouth guard is important, pads are not worn and rugby is a very physical game. "Whoever has the heart and guts to play, there is a place for you," Puentes said. Rugby gets schooled DAMIAN ATAMENWAN SPORTS EDITOR The Midwestern rugby team hosted and lost a scrimmage against Frisco Rugby Club Saturday afternoon. Frisco was no match for MSU as they had players who had featured in professional games with the USA Eagles. The visitors marked the first two tries by breaking through the Mustangs' defense. Fullback Terry Griffin was defensively alert but Frisco's offense still managed to advance for a soft try. But the Mustangs had some hope when Freshman Center Austin Becker broke through for a spectacular try. Fly half Benedikt Kling missed the conversion however that didn't affect the hosts' momentum. The Mustangs played harder but Frisco's skillfulness surpassed their effort as well as the scoreboard. Team Captain Simba Musarurwa was impressed with the club in spite of the performance. "We improved vastly from our previous game against ASU," he said. "We defended and rucked better than when we played ASU." Although MSU was only able to muster a try, the team played great especially against a veteran men's club side. MSU will play its first cup match of the season at the University of Texas, San Antonio on Oct. 29. Damian Atamenwan Flanker Michael Kately brings a Frisco forward down while teammates Royse Lee, Tyler Blocker and Austin Becker wait to support. Mustangs snatch conference victories DAMIAN ATAMENWAN SPORTS EDITOR Midwestern State Women's soccer had a successful weekend away with victories against Angelo State and Incarnate Word. The Rambelles' Maggie Schaffer opened the scoring in the 20th minute by chipping the ball over Goalkeeper Mallory Whitworth. The goal was assisted with good work from Brandie DeBacker. Schaffer had scored the only goal in the same fixture at the Mustangs soccer field but MSU worked hard to prevent a repeat. Senior Forward Lindsay Pritchard tried to roll in an equalizer but she watched her shot sail off target. MSU played a subdued first half but came out in the second half to outclass Angelo State. Within the first ten minutes of play after the break, the Mustangs put pressure on the ASU back line. Pritchard, Kelsey Hill and Maddie Fraser kept the shots coming, forcing the Rambelles to play strict defense. The hard work of the Mustangs paid off in the 58th minute when Defender Hanna Staley clinically finished an opportunity which came off a rebound. Staley's first goal of the season was assisted by Fraser, who displays great play making skills. Midwestern kept making the game difficult for the Rambelles until the Mustangs were ready to take the lead as well as clinch the winner. Fraser, again, was the architect of the winning goal. The midfielder played a ball down the wing to Pritchard who crossed it in for Hill to head in her seventh goal of the season. Despite helping assisting both goals, Fraser's attempts on goal were unable to get past Goalkeeper Morgan Harrison. Head Women's Soccer Coach Jeff Trimble expressed his view of Friday's game. "We came out very flat in the first half of Friday's game," he said. "In the second half the girls really started to apply pressure and win 50-50 balls." The Mustangs traveled to Incarnate Word and extended their winning spree by defeating the hosts 1-0. MSU did not waste time in putting the game aside as Pritchard came through in the third minute for a spectacular onetimer goal. Hill sent her fellow forward a fine pass from the touch line and Pritchard did not hesitate to bury it past Goalkeeper Angelica Carrizales. "The two wins this weekend helped us get closer to solidifying second place," Trimble said. "Both Angelo and Incarnate are good teams, so it was nice to come away with two wins." The Mustangs had almost 90 minutes to prevent the Cardinals from coming back. Although MSU had a defensive mind set after an early lead, the visitors accounted for 11 shots on Incarnate Word's goal. "I am proud that we got two road wins," Trimble said. Trimble praised the offensive efforts of Hill and Pritchard as well as the defensive hard work of Staley and Whitworth. Midwestern will play back-toback road games at Texas A&MCommerce on Friday then Texas Women's on Sunday. Kelsey Hill (No. 18) tallied her seventh goal of the season against Angelo State University. The forward also recorded an assist in the lone goal victory at Incarnate Word.

Head Soccer Coach Doug Elder commented on his team's performance. "We played two tough games and came out with two wins," Elder said. "Both teams played defensively on Friday." The Mustangs went ahead to defeat Newman University after Freeland took advantage of the visiting goalkeeper's mistake. With barely five minutes left on the clock, Dwyer assisted his fellow striker with a through ball for his fourth goal of the season. "Freeland and Dwyer did great in scoring goals," Elder added. "They stayed up tight, that's what they are there for." NSU had a few minutes to make an impression but tactical changes by Elder instilled frustration in the RiverHawks' offense. Wood, who controlled the defense, noticed a great improvement. "We had a few weeks were we didn't play well as a team defensively," he said. "But it looks like we are beginning to play like we should." The Mustangs celebrated both wins, preparing their minds for Homecoming weekend games against two good teams. "We need to be firing on all cyclinders for this weekend against Incarnate & St. Edwards," Wood added. "We just have to keep doing our jobs, take chances and outwork our opponents." Midwestern State will host Incarnate Word and St. Edwards this weekend at the Mustangs soccer field for Homecoming. Mustangs maul Angelo State 68-20 JOSH HOGGARD FOR THE WICHITAN The Mustangs rolled yet again, putting up over 700 yards of total offense and blanking Angelo State, 68-20. Midwestern State was perfect in the end zone, reaching four times and scoring three touchdowns and a field goal. The charge for the Mustangs was yet again led by Quarterback Brandon Kelsey, who threw for 237 yards, four touchdowns passes, rushed for 134 yards and a scored touchdown. The running game for the Mustangs continues to impress. This week, however, it was far above their already ridiculous numbers, putting up almost 400 yards on the ground alone. Jeremy Pipkin put up 141 yards and two touchdowns for another very strong performance from the red-shirt freshman. Joe Sanders also rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown. In the air, the Mustangs put up big numbers. Between the three quarterbacks that played, five touchdowns were scored and 311 yards were gained with the passing game. The Brandon Kelsey � Sheldon Galloway connection was strong again. The pair hooked up for four receptions for 85 yards, two of those receptions resulting in touchdowns. Kelsey also found a strong target in David Little again this week, finding him four times, one in the end zone, for a total of 93 yards. Edgar Thelliar caught the first touchdown pass of the game from Kelsey. Thelliar finished the day with two catches for 30 yards and a touchdown. Receiver Thomas Carper had two Junior Offensive Lineman Justen Tyler prepares to hike the ball to Junior Quarterback Brandon Kelsey. catches on the day for 70 yards and a touchdown. When it was all said and done, the Mustangs finished the day with 704 yards of total offense, the second most in school history. But, don't let the defense go unnoticed. They forced and recovered two fumbles, one interception, two sacks and seven tackles for a loss, holding Angelo state to only 20 points. The Mustangs started quick and played strong throughout. Their first drive took up nearly five minutes of clock time, and with 10:14 to go; the Mustangs had their first lead of the game with the pass from Kelsey to Thelliar. Less than three minutes later, the Mustangs scored again when Jeremy Pipkin ran in his first touchdown of the day from 14 yards out. File photo by Kassie Bruton Again, less than three minutes later, on the first play of the drive for the Mustangs, Pipkin took it 71 yards to the endzone in 11 seconds to put the Mustangs up 21-0. Then, with 36 seconds left, Sheldon Galloway caught his first touchdown from Brandon Kelsey to give the Mustangs the commanding lead of 28-0. Brandon Kelsey scored three more touchdowns before the half was over; two with his arm and one with his legs. Galloway caught a 35-yard TD, Little caught a 63-yard TD, and Kelsey ran for a 77-yard TD all before the carnage was over. Just a side note, this is only the second time since MSU was founded in 1922 that the football team put up more than 50 points in a half. When the second half started, the starters, stopped, and some of the second string men got some playing time. Jake Glover threw a 51-yard touchdown pass to Thomas Carper nearly ten minutes into the second half. And, with five minutes to go in the game, Joe Sanders ran one in from 11 yards out. Another big contributor to the Mustangs onslaught of Angelo State was kicker Greg Saladino. Despite one blocked field goal at the very end of the game, Saladino was perfect on extra points and knocked two field goals in from 43 yards and 31 yards. So, once again, the Mustangs cruised to a 68-20 victory, and up three spots to #12 in the rankings. The Mustangs will take the field against rival Abilene Christian University for their Homecoming game this weekend. Kickoff at Memorial Stadium is set for 8 p.m.
