A Beechcraft King Air crashed near Pearland Regional Airport about 9 a.m. Wednesday while the pilot was attempting to land, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The pilot of the aircraft had tried to land once and was going around for another approach when the plane crashed, FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford said by email.
FAA officials said they were told by local authorities there were no survivors and on the flight plan, the pilot was listed as the only person aboard.
The Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed that the pilot died in the crash.
Preliminary information indicates that the twin-engine aircraft was flying from Austin to Galveston Scholes Airport when the pilot diverted to Pearland due to low visibility in Galveston, Lunsford said.
Officials have notified the National Transportation Safety Board, which will be in charge of the investigation, Lunsford said.
Lunsford said the plane exploded and burned on impact.
A Department of Public Safety trooper told KHOU-TV that the impact was so intense the plane crashed four feet into the ground.
Houston Chronicle reporter Mike Glenn contributed to this report.

Reviews: Final Exam: A Surgeon's Reflections on Mortality
Final Exam: A Surgeon's Reflections on MortalityPauline W. Chen Available Here
|General Interest
|Average Rating:
|(3 Votes)
A brilliant young transplant surgeon brings moral intensity and narrative drama to the most powerful and vexing questions of medicine and the human condition. When Pauline Chen began medical school twenty years ago, she dreamed of saving lives. What she did not count on was how much death would be a part of her work. Almost immediately, Chen found herself wrestling with medicine's most profound paradox, that a profession premised on caring for the ill also systematically depersonalizes dying. Final Exam follows Chen over the course of her education, training, and practice as she grapples at strikingly close range with the problem of mortality, and struggles to reconcile the lessons of her training with her innate knowledge of shared humanity, and to separate her ideas about healing from her fierce desire to cure. From her first dissection of a cadaver in gross anatomy to the moment she first puts a scalpel to a living person; from the first time she witnesses someone flatlining in the emergency room to the first time she pronounces a patient dead, Chen is struck by her own mortal fears: there was a dying friend she could not call; a young patient's tortured death she could not forget; even the sense of shared kinship with a corpse she could not cast aside when asked to saw its pelvis in two. Gradually, as she confronts the ways in which her fears have incapacitated her, she begins to reject what she has been taught about suppressing her feelings for her patients, and she begins to carve out a new role for herself as a physician and as human being. Chen's transfixing and beautiful rumination on how doctors negotiate the ineluctable fact of death becomes, in the end, a brilliant questioning of how we should live. Moving and provocative, motored equally by clinical expertise and extraordinary personal grace, this is a piercing and compassionate journey into the heart of a world that is hidden and yet touches all of our lives. A superb addition to the best medical literature of our time.

Visitors bowled over by cricket
Michigan schoolchildren try their hand at an Aussie game
Schoolchildren from the American state of Michigan were treated to a taste of Aussie life when they visited students at St Columbaĺs Primary School, North Leichhardt (pictured).
The trip for the 43 students aged 11-13 was part of the People-to-People Students Ambassador Program.
They visited several other Catholic primary schools in Sydney including St Michaelĺs, Stanmore, St Francis of Assisi, Paddington, St Thereseĺs, Denistone and St Fiacreĺs, Leichhart.
At St Fiacreĺs school the visitors took part in regular classwork before playing a game of cricket, led by first grade players from the Balmain Cricket Club, and soccer, led by the Parramatta Eagles Soccer Academy.
They then had a go at bush dancing and indigenous art before enjoying a barbeque lunch.
US President Eisenhower established the ambassador program for youth in 1956.

Dogs can be possessive in many ways. Darwin K9's dog training programs address each kind of possessive behavior. Some dogs exhibit dominance, fear, overprotective or possession aggression. Many times dog owners confuse protectiveness and aggression. These dog owners feel a certain pride in knowing that their dog is protecting them. However, the behavior is actually unacceptable.
Signs of Aggression in Dogs
- Growling
- Snapping, biting and snarling
- Eye aversion
- Ears tucked back
Overprotective Dogs and Risk of Dog Bites
Since some owners are happy a dog is "protecting" their family and home, they may not discourage the dog's aggressive behavior. This is actually a way of encouraging a dog to bite. Dog owners must take control and not allow their dog to decide what behavior is appropriate. Owners who combine leadership and encouragement of good behavior reduce the risk of a dog bite attack.
North Carolina Dog Trainers
An aggressive dog is an accident waiting to happen. Although canine aggression is incurable, it is treatable. Dog trainers in North Carolina with Darwin K9 work with dog owners to manage their pet's possessive behavior. Without a dog training program, aggressive behavior will grow as time passes. This puts dog owners, their loved ones and anyone who comes in contact with their dog in a risky situation.
How to Train your Dog
Every time a dog growls and the behavior is not corrected, they start to feel powerful and will continue behaving this way. Clicker training for dogs is popular; however our dog trainers will assess your dog and recommend the best training method for him or her. Working with Darwin K9, dog owners in Raleigh-Durham and Wake Forest, to Greensboro and Winston-Salem, and out to Greenville and Goldsboro learn proven methods for reinforcing dog obedience. Owners will learn what situations trigger their dog's anxiety, diets that reduce aggression, what medications affect behavior and unique dog training methods. Our dog training programs help owners manage their dog's aggressive behavior. There is not just one way to train a pet, Darwin K9 has a custom behavioral training solution for every dog.
If you are overwhelmed with your dog's persistent unwanted behavior, perhaps it's time to call on a professional dog trainer. You'll find a number of Darwin K9 locations across North Carolina to choose from. Check out our locations and give one a call today before the worst happens.

Wiring your gas furnace to a generator is a project that's frequently either over-thought or not thought of at all. Some people think you need a high dollar transfer switch wired to your breaker panel, requiring an electrician, or you have to temporarily rewire the breaker to the generator and then rewire everything again once the power comes back on.
But this isn't the case, NEC (National Electric Code) only requires that appliances be on their own dedicated circuit. So, by simply rewiring your furnace you have the ability to use your furnace with a portable generator (or other auxiliary power). Then when the power goes out, just disconnect the furnace from the outlet and connect it to your generator, and use it like you normally would.
video: How To Wire Your Gas Furnace To A Generator
The cost of the materials was less than $20, and all of the items can be found at most hardware stores.
- Outlet Box
- Single Outlet Receptacle
- Outlet Cover Plate
- Power Supply Cord
- Cable Connector
- Misc Wire Nuts, Electrical Tape & Mounting Screws
- Hammer
- Screwdriver (multi-tip)
- Side Cutters
- Wire Strippers
- Multi-Meter
- Voltage Stick (optional)
- Drill (probably a little overkill but if you're installing the outlet box onto your furnace with sheet metal screws it will be needed)
How To Do It:
Everytime you're working around electricity you MUST check that the power is OFF and then CHECK AGAIN. You can never be too careful when it comes to this point. (Even after all these years I occasionally still get shocked.)
Turn Off the breaker that controls your furnace. (Keep in mind that a many breaker panels are mislabeled.) Open your furnace and find where your power is coming in from and follow it to the junction box (or in my case, the circuit board.)
Pull off any covers and then test for voltage. I like to use the Fluke Voltage Stick first (ensure it works on a live circuit and then you can test it). After you have verified the power is off, carefully remove the wire nuts and test with a voltmeter. Once you are darn sure there is no power then you are safe to work on it.
Write down, or label your wires, the BLACK (hot), WHITE (neutral) & GREEN (ground). (Some might be red, orange, brown, etc.) You must rewire it exactly as it was: Black to Black, White to White, and Green to Green/Ground. Pull the wires out to the outside of the furnace.
First, install the OUTLET BOX. I put the conduit with the wires coming from the breaker into the outlet box and then level it where I would like to mount it. Screw it to the wall or furnace with the appropriate screws.
Next, you need to wire in your Single Receptacle Outlet. You may need to cut back your wires and strip them. (This is hard to explain in text and is better understood in the video.) Wire your Black (or hot) to the smaller bladed side of the outlet (if you're facing the outlet this will be the right side) this screw is normally brass/gold in color. The White (or neutral) wires up to the larger bladed side, this screw is usually silver in color. Then the Green (or ground) goes to the last terminal that is bonded with the metal framework of the receptacle, sometimes this screw will be green colored (but every manufacturer is different).
Once wired, carefully push the receptacle back into the outlet box and screw it in, put on the COVER PLATE and we're ready to move onto the final part.
To install the POWER CORD we have to add in the CABLE CONNECTOR to where the old power cable came into the furnace. Once you have the cable connector in, you can pull the power cord through and secure it.
Next, rewire the power cord to the connections on the furnace. If you're using wire nuts be sure to Double Check that the wires are secured by tugging on each individually and then taping the connection with electrical tape (you can further secure with tie straps if needed).
Make sure to replace any cover plates, double-check that everything is wired properly and secured. Turn the power back on and check the outlet with your meter (this is not shown in the video) to make sure everything is wired properly. Finally, plug in your furnace and check operations.
video: An Overview: How To Wire Your Gas Furnace To A Generator
Now that you're done, test it out with or without your generator. I recommend a test run on a dark, rainy night so you know what it's going to be like when you're actually going to have to use it.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
This weekly course covers the most common questions videographers encounter when shooting and editing with DSLR cameras, from choosing a frame size and frame rate to understanding moiré. Authors Rich Harrington and Robbie Carman will also help you understand the impacts of compression and the difference between cropped (or micro 4/3rds) and full-sized sensors in cameras, and much more. This continual FAQ guide is a handy way to find the answers to the questions that plague you the most.
Robbie Carman: So, Rich, in the last movie we talk about some of the great new features on the Canon 6D. However, like any camera there is no perfect device or perfect camera. A couple of things on this camera that are just worth your consideration, not necessarily cons but things to sort of be aware of right. Rich Harrington: Yeah. Robbie: And the two most noticeable things for me especially when we are talking about shooting video is that Canon actually decided unlike a lot of the newer cameras that are coming out from, even Canons and Nikons. They decided not to put an actual headphone jack on the camera body itself.
Now you can still monitor audio, but you can't actually listen to that audio, you can visually see it and stuff. But that's a big con me because I know a lot of people especially in run-and-gun situations want be able to just plug in set of headphones and be able to record and hear the audio that they have going to the camera. Rich: And that's a real shame. I mean the comparable cameras from Nikon have that the ability to adjust with 20 points of control for audio record. Canon in my opinion, particularly with this camera does need to catch up, and I had a chance to talk with Canon a little bit about this last NAB, and I said why do I have all these features and I don't have them on the DSLR? Well, that's why there is a C300 and the C530 and C100.
Robbie: Right. Rich: This camera is not for you. Well, they've kind of soften that stance a little bit, because they finally for example announced with the 5D Mark III that they are going to put clean HDMI on it. Now at the time of this recording that hadn't shipped yet, but it's the same thing they could do clean HDMI out on this. Robbie: There's a headphone jack on the Mark III as well. Rich: Yeah, this one doesn't have clean output, that hopefully it will. The fact that they left the headphone jack out, it was like they were saying, oh, you really want to do video? You still need to at least buy the 5D Mark III, the only reason I can come up with that they left it off was to save, I don't know 79 cents in the cost of production.
Robbie: Well, I think it was that, but I also think you know a little bit with this particular camera it's the one of the latest DSLR full-frame cameras on the market. So, you know adding a little board or little jack does add a couple of grams or 510 grams to the weight of the camera. Now the other thing, Rich, there are a couple of other things to consider about this camera that I think are important. As a pro level camera, you would think that it's completely rugged and the construction is completely weather proof, that kind of stuff. Well one of the things Canon did on this camera is that the top section here is not actually sort of that magnesium alloy that you find on other cameras.
It's actually plastic, and this for a technical reason with the GPS and Wi-Fi built in. Rich: They couldn't get the sensors out. Robbie: Yeah, those antennas didn't communicate very well through this. So it's not quite as rugged. Rich: So, don't purposely drop your camera on the ground, not that you would do that anyways, but yet it feels good, it's a very sturdy camera, it's got the steel body. But yeah this top cap absolutely, they couldn't get those devices to work, which is why in other cameras you start bolting those as attachments on the top and on the side. Now I'm going to say SD Cards love them or hate them, they are becoming the new standard.
Getting a compact flash card is getting increasingly hard. So, you may need to get new cards to shoot with. There are steel cards out there from companies like Hoodman if you want the stability, otherwise invest in a good card wallet, and make sure you upgrade your cards. The SDHC class 10 are enough, but you might have some older SD cards or see cheaper ones that don't work. But the other area you're probably going to have to upgrade if you are coming from a 7D is the glass, right Rob? Robbie: And this was my second thing about this camera is that you know if you're shooting on a crop frame camera like a Digital Rebel, a 7D, you might have invested in EFS Lenses and those are cropped lenses that work only on cropped image sensors, and you'll be unable to use them on a full-frame sensor.
Now you might also have regular full-frame lenses, L series lenses, or anything that's not EFS those will work of course. So, you might have to consider, now that sounds like a con but there is also a benefit of course to the full-frame sensor in your lenses. Guess what. 50 mm is 50 mm, unlike a cropped image sensor where you are having to do so this crop-multiplication math, you put a lens on the camera, the lens in the focal length that the lens has is as advertised. Rich: Very good, I think this gives you a good idea of the strengths and potential weaknesses of the camera.
In our last movie when we come back we're going to take a look at the menu system and walk you through some of the major controls that this camera offers.

Santa Clarita Valley health officials are seeing a rise in HPV cases, particularly in males, which is a virus that can be vaccinated against, officials said.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
There are multiple strains of the human papillomavirus, said Jill Ireland, a phyician's assistant for The Doctor's Office in Santa Clarita.
However, most concern is linked to two strands that are linked to genital warts and cervical cancer, she said. In fact, HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer in women.
"We're targeting women as young as 11 with information and the vaccine," Ireland said.
Facey Medical Center officials have seen an unprecedented uptick in reported cases of HPV in male patients, according to officials.
The virus is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health website.
Most infections with high-risk HPVs do not cause cancer, according to county officials.
Many HPV infections go away on their own within 1 to 2 years. However, infections that last for many years increase a person's risk of developing cancer.
However, with both vaccines, more than 99 percent of recipients develop an antibody response to HPV types included in the respective vaccines 1 month after completing the 3 dose series.
Most of the time, HPV has no symptoms so people do not know they have it.
In addition to cervical cancer, the virus causes anal and penile cancer, and genital warts.
HPV is a sexually transmitted disease, however, just because sexual activity is not an imminent risk in girls that age, having the conversation about the potential effects of the virus is important because it's preventable.
"It's always interesting trying to have that conversation with the parents in the room," Ireland said, but she tries to explain it so that parents understand it's not about sexual activity, it's about disease prevention.
Children also are usually vaccinated for Hepatitis B well before they are sexually active, Ireland said, so she tries to use that as a basis for comparison.
The most common vaccination, known as Gardasil, is generally directed toward younger, single women, Ireland said, however, an unfortunate aspect of a rising divorce is that more women are put at risk.There's also Cervarix.
"(For Gardasil, they get their first shot and then they get one two months later and then six months after the first," Ireland said.
Both vaccines are recommended for females starting at 11 years but can be given through 26 years of age. HPV4 vaccine is recommended for males starting at age 11 years but it can be given through 21 years of age
Here's a link to a frequently asked questions document put together by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

Finding Cat Spray
Know Where Your Cat is Spraying;
Kill Odors and Monitor Further Spraying
You can simply scan your home and find cat spraying locations by using a quality blacklight in a darkened room. Under fluorescent blacklight, cat spray glows. Your cat may be spraying in many locations that you are unaware of. This will allow you to neutralize lingering odors and limit serious cat urine damage.
First, know what you are looking for. Most cat spraying involves one or more splats on a vertical surface at approximately nose height of the spraying cat, to attact the attention of other cats.
Second, get a good fluorescent blacklight, the type with a cylindrical tube as a light source. Don't use an incandescant-style bulb, the ultraviolet spectrum output is too weak to be useful. Smaller tubes and small battery-powered units are much more difficult to use since they must be very close to the urine to see anything. The best units use a bulb type "BLB" which has higher low wavelength UV output, best for showing cat urine.
To recognize spray spots, look for an obvious "splat and drip" spray pattern (left). Depending upon the surface, cat urine spray can be faint and hard to distinguish from other organic substances and objects that also glow under black light. Cat spraying on some fabrics may be hard to see. You may need to place a barrier, such as cardboard, in front of difficult surfaces to allow cat spray patterns to be more easily detectable and monitored.
When scanning entire rooms; look at about 6 to 12" height above the floor around the perimeter of the room, including doors and windows/windowsills, blinds, and on all furniture.
This GE blacklight is excellent for illuminating cat urine in a darkened room. It's an 18 inch Fluorescent Light Fixture with a GE F15T8-BLB 15 watt bulb, that projects an excellent uv spectrum for cat spray detection. It is bright enough to show cat urine from a reasonable distance, several feet away. It runs off AC power; use an extension cord to make it semi-portable. It is difficult to find in retail stores except just before Halloween. Beware of low cost imitations. Many similar import units are sold, such as by Lights of America. These units have significantly less effective UV light for finding cat urine.
Diligent searching for cat spraying spots is the key to preventing serious cat urine damage and removing cat urine smell from furniture.

Lefty double bass
Can any double pedal be converted to lefty? Stupid question, bu I'm having to ask :(
Re: Lefty double bass
Re: Lefty double bass
Yep what Bo said, 99.9% of lefty double pedals have to be ordered as lefty.
Re: Lefty double bass
Pearl demon drives and malleus (did i spell that right?) Are the only pedals i am aware of that can do this.
Re: Lefty double bass
Iron Cobras can. I reversed a I.C. Jr. and more recently a Speed Cobra, with no problem. Just take them apart and put them back in reverse order.

Gary Pinkel Pulls A "Forrest Gump" in Columbia, Missouri – Geez, Now That Was STUPID! – Bob Davie Hired at New Mexico – Four Pieces of Advice For Bob Davie – The Mike Leach Conundrum – Would We Hire Mike Leach If We Were A Current Athletic Director At…..?
Missouri HC Gary Pinkel Gets DWI – "Stupid Is A Stupid Does"
Something we will never be able to reconcile here at Coaches Hot Seat is people that are in the public eye, that know they are in the public eye, that are tasked with teaching and/or coaching our young people…AND…are paid enormous amounts of money, $2.7 Million Dollars a year in Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel's case, and they for some reason do not have the common sense after drinking ANY amount of alcohol to leave their car where it is parked and either call some or come pick them up or call a cab to take them home.
What would it have cost Gary Pinkel to catch a cab to take him almost anywhere in Columbia, Missouri?
Well, the Columbia Taxi Service charges $2.00 to get in the cab and $2.50 per mile so let's say Pinkel would have ridden in the cab for 50 miles which has got to be the MAX distance for a cab ride in the city of Columbia, Missouri it would have cost Pinkel:
$127 Dollars
According to the Columbia Daily Tribune….
Pinkel suspended one week without pay, Dave Matter, Columbia Daily Tribune
…the DWI that Gary Pinkel got will cost him:
Pinkel is suspended from coaching Missouri's home game this week against Texas Tech.
That is what one would call STUPID with a capital S!
For about the 5 th time in this Blog since Coaches Hot Seat cranked up in January 2007 we will go over some very simple rules for people in the public eye relative to drinking alcohol (If you are doing illegal drugs you are already beyond help and you deserve to be caught and fired from your job because only a REAL Moron does illegal drugs):
1. If you are going to drink….YOU DO NOT DRIVE…even if you only had ONE drink.
2. If you are a person that drinks alcohol from time-to-time then you need a couple of people that are close to you that you can call that will come and pick you up understanding that you are a person in the public eye and thus cannot afford to risk being caught drinking and driving. For a college head football coach that would ideally be a family member and member of the coaching staff, both of which should be able to pick you up without complaining and people that will keep your confidences.
3. If you have been drinking and for some reason the two people on your pick-up and take home list are not available then you should call a cab to take you home and if a cab is not available then do as we have done many times here at Coaches Hot Seat and pay someone at the restaurant or bar to take you home as long as they have not been drinking also….and make sure you tip that person well for their efforts.
Is the above simple enough?
If not, keep these two numbers in your head:
A tremendous amount of embarrassment for Gary Pinkel, his family, the Missouri athletics program, the University of Missouri and the Missouri fans and alumni.
Someone cue Forrest Gump: "Stupid Is As Stupid Does."
That was "Stupid" Gary and this "Pinkel Fiasco" should be a great lesson for everyone in America that is in the public eye or not.
As for Coaches Hot Seat we have a very few simple rules when we get together:
1. When you enter Coaches Hot Seat Central or one of our houses for a party there is always a large bowl or basket that EVERYONE that is going to drink tosses their car keys into.
2. Any of us that has more than 2 drinks, remember we are not the head football coach at a major university, then has his keys placed into a locked drawer because he is not driving home and either his wife will come and pick him up (most of the time the wife will come and pick us up….but not always!) or the CHS Member will get a ride from a friend that has not been drinking or the CHS Member will call a cab.
There are a few of us here at Coaches Hot Seat that are under employment contracts that call for immediate firing if arrested for driving under the influence while driving under any circumstances and with that reality in mind some here might say that Gary Pinkel….
Got Off Easy.
Bob Davie Hired by New Mexico
We have been hearing for years from our contacts at ESPN that Bob Davie was looking to get back into coaching and since Davie has been living in the Phoenix area for a number of years it makes sense that the New Mexico job would be attractive to him and from the list of candidates that we heard that the Lobos were considering Bob Davie was probably the best hire they could have made….unless they chose Davie over Mike Leach….but we could never confirm is Leach was ever seriously considered by New Mexico or not so that may have been a non-issue (more on Mike Leach in a moment).
Everyone here at Coaches Hot Seat is old enough to remember Bob Davie's head coaching stint at Notre Dame, 1997 – 2001, when Davie put up an overall record of…
35 – 25
..and yearly records of…
1997: 7 – 6
1998: 9 – 3
1999: 5 – 7
2000: 9 – 3
2001: 5 – 6
Of course, anyone that knows anything about Notre Dame football understands the above records are not acceptable in South Bend and they will only be marginally acceptable at New Mexico where the standard has been set by Rocky Long (1999 – 2008)….
SIX .500 or better seasons in his last 7 years at UNM
…and Dennis Franchione (1992 – 1997)
TWO winning seasons in his last 2 years at UNM
Which makes the standard that Bob Davie will have to meet at New Mexico somewhere in the neighborhood of…
.500 or better seasons in almost every year and a bowl game trip
Competitive in the Mountain West Conference which New Mexico was under both Franchione and Long.
Those don't seem to us to be over-taxing standards that will have to be met by Bob Davie at New Mexico and if he can somehow win the conference title like Franchione did once and Long almost did four times then Davie will be considered a success by New Mexico fans and will be able to coach in Albuquerque for a decade or so if he wishes.
Bob Davie is a nice but confident…borderline cocky guy who has gotten much better over the years with his TV work at ESPN and if Davie has one Achilles Heel it would be his sometimes overbearing personality which to us comes off as someone that is confident in his own ability, but to some can come off to people as being a Pompous, Arrogant Ass. We are not saying that Bob Davie is a Pompous, Arrogant Ass, only that some people might perceive Davie to be a Pompous, Arrogant Ass and that is a reality that Bob Davie should keep in mind.
Anyway, someone with a career coaching record, at Notre Dame, of 35 – 25 over 5 seasons…7 wins a year…should not be blabbing to anyone about what great things they did at Notre Dame since the janitor that cleans the football building in South Bend could easily win 6 games a year coaching the Irish.
Since several of us here at Coaches Hot Seat have spent a decent amount of time in New Mexico, mainly in and around the cities of Albuquerque and Santa Fe, we rather like the people, the country, the landscapes, the culture and the food in The Land of Enchantment and the folks that follow University of New Mexico football deserve at least a decent team to cheer for and hopefully Bob Davie can get things done in Albuquerque…BUT….if he doesn't Bob knows he will end up on something that did not exist in 2001, but something Bob would have been on during his last year at Notre Dame.
The Hot Seat!
We are certainly not going to recommend what kind of offense or defense Bob Davie should run at New Mexico or how he should coach his team….BUT…we will give Bob Davie FOUR pieces of advice:
1. As Plato once said: "The beginning is the most important part of the work."
Applying Plato to taking over a college football program in the early 21 st century means…although it is a little different with Davie since he is not really the head coach yet so we mean when he fully takes over when the season ends….is that the "most important" time for a new head football coach is..
The First 10 Minutes
The First Hour
The First Day
The First Month
The First…
"The beginning is the most important part of the work," because "the beginning" sets the tone for everything that follows.
2. Don't make any unnecessary enemies at the University of New Mexico or in the news media: This one is very important for Bob Davie because it would be very easy for him to say things like, "We did or didn't do it this way at Notre Dame or Texas A&M," which is useless since Bob Davie is the head football coach at the University of New Mexico and not at Notre Dame or Texas A&M. Do it the way it should be done at the University of New Mexico and only use your time at Notre Dame and A&M as experiences that you can drawn upon which really means not making the same mistakes you made at those places again because making the same mistake twice is….Dumb.
On this not making enemies point we will put a special emphasis on not making any enemies with the news media in Albuquerque or New Mexico but rather in the early going Davie should do all he can to enlist the news media to be his partner to help build up the New Mexico football brand. If someone asks you (Davie) a stupid question about football or something you might do in the future just blow it off and answer their question in a polite way and make a point of building strong…but not too close….relationships with members of the news media, because down the road a year or two you made need these folks in your corner when times get tough…and you find yourself on the…..Hot Seat!
Most of all don't make any unnecessary enemies in the news media over BS things that mean nothing at all and don't trust anyone's assessment of people in the media from folks that work at the University of New Mexico, because things have been on and off in recent years between UNM athletics and the local media folks and if you were employing us for PR advice right now we would recommend reaching out, getting to know and answering all the questions that come your way from the news media in the fullest and most polite way possible and generally kiss the news media's ass for the next 6 months or so.
3. If you like barbeque in a great atmosphere visit the two locations of Rudy's Barbeque and Country Store that are in the Albuquerque area where the eating is good, the people are friendly, the picnic tables and self-service drinks, napkins and utensils are ideal, and sports is always on the flat screens! You cannot beat Rudy's Barbeque and Country Store which is our second home when we are down Albuquerque-way and when you are at Rudy's by yourself or with your family or at any other public places talk the folks up on Lobos football.
4. A great and convenient place to get away is the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa which is about 25 miles north of Albuquerque and is our home away from home when we are in the part of New Mexico. The resort is great, the restaurants are great, the golf is great, the pools are great, the views are great and the people are terrific and what our wives really like is that their spa is great. Yes, the place is great and a terrific destination for people besides Bob Davie and his family as well!
There you have it Bob (Davie) our humble advice as you take over the New Mexico football program and of course we again leave you with something that should provide that little extra amount of motivation for you…
Yes, you got it….If you don't get the job done at New Mexico you know what awaits…
The Hot Seat!
Hell, that motivates us and we are not taking over the New Mexico head coaching job!
Good Luck to you Bob Davie!
The Mike Leach Conundrum
One of the more interesting debates here at Coaches Hot Seat is whether former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach will get a new head coaching job during this Firing – Hiring of college coaches cycle and the opinions of Coaches Hot Seat Members are all over the board on whether Leach will get another shot this year to lead a college football program but we are Unanimous on whether Mike Leach should get another shot as a head football coach and that opinion is….
First the FACTS as Joe Friday used to say:
Mike Leach
Age: 50
Assistant coach at several schools up until 1991 and then the offensive coordinator at Valdosta State, Kentucky (Under Hal Mumme at both schools) and then the OC at Oklahoma under Bob Stoops.
Head coach at Texas Tech (2000 – 2009) – 10 Seasons
2000: 7 – 6
2001: 7 – 5
2002: 9 – 5
2003: 8 – 5
2004: 8 – 4
2005: 9 – 3
2006: 8 – 5
2007: 9 – 4
2008: 11 – 2
2009: 8 – 4
Overall: 84 – 43 (.661)
Big 12: 47 – 33 (.588)
An average of 8.4 wins per year.
Yes, that is Pretty Damn Good coaching record at Texas Tech especially considering that the legendary head coach Spike Dykes' overall record at Tech was….
82 – 67 – 1 (.547)
Clearly, Mike Leach can coach the game of football and he put on the field at Texas Tech one of the most innovative offenses in recent college football history so what gives with Mike Leach not already being hired to be the head coach at another school already?
First, there is the affliction that Mike Leach has which we will call the "Steve Spurrier Disease" which means there is no filter between Mike's brain and his mouth which can be a GOOD and BAD thing. Steve Spurrier has sure won a lot of games even though he is the namesake for the "Steve Spurrier Disease," and Mike Leach has won a lot so maybe having the "Steve Spurrier Disease" isn't that bad after all. One note of caution though: There is NO cure for the "Steve Spurrier Disease" and thus when you hire Steve Spurrier or Mike Leach expect to hear lots of Damn things that pop into their heads and then come immediately out of their mouths and when something strange comes out of their mouths just shake your head and say….
"There's that Damn "Steve Spurrier Disease" thing again."
Then laugh and move on.
There is one sure-fire way to shut Steve Spurrier up though….
Beat his ass in golf. That shuts Steve up and often leaves him speechless in the clubhouse after the round!
Secondly, there is the messy break-up with Texas Tech which was caused in our opinion by an AD and President at Tech that didn't like Leach because they were forced to give him a new contract after the 2008 season after Tech went 11 – 1 in the regular season which we believe led to some bad blood and then Leach's firing a year later over some Bogus charges.
Is the entire Texas Tech – Mike Leach mess something the administrators at another school should consider when thinking about hiring Mike Leach?
Yes, for about 2 seconds. There are/were some Arrogant Asses at Texas Tech that didn't understand they had a head coach that deserved a new contract after that great 2008 season and some good ole' Texas boys that didn't know their asses from the side of a barn and had nothing else to do rose up and fired Leach and what have they gotten for their Idiocy?
Tommy Tuberville now in his 2 nd year at Texas Tech
Overall Record: 13 – 10
Big 12 Record: 5 – 10
Yes, those are some Mighty Stupid People at Texas Tech.
OK, forget the Texas Tech – Mike Leach mess because it is pointless to consider.
What about the litigation against Texas Tech and ESPN?
If were going to offer a head coaching job to Mike Leach we would probably tell him that to get the job he would have to drop all litigation against Tech, ESPN or anyone else about his departure from Texas Tech. A school doesn't need a head coach tied up in litigation and if Mike Leach wouldn't drop the lawsuits we would probably move on to another candidate unless we could be convinced by OUR attorneys that the cases had merit and should go forward.
Now, we said that Mike Leach deserves an opportunity to be a head football coach again….BUT….would we hire Leach at EVERY job now that now has an opening which is and might be….
Penn State, Mississippi, Tulane, Arizona FAU, and probably Ohio State, North Carolina, UCLA, Colorado State, Washington State, UAB, Fresno State and maybe a few others it all of the above schools get into the head coaching market this year:
Would we hire Mike Leach if were the AD at….
Penn State? NO.
Penn State needs an entire new fresh start with a big name coach that can bring lots of change to the program and Mike Leach would not be the person for what is going to be a very tough Damn job.
Arizona? Probably Not
We know a few Arizona boosters personally and they are "iffy" on Mike Leach and Leach might not fit that well with Arizona AD Greg Byrne, but if the folks in Tucson were willing to take a chance on Leach we believe he would win big at Arizona.
Ohio State? NO.
Mike Leach in Columbus? Oh, that would be great fun to watch but that would be like oil on fire and in water! If Ohio State wants the next Woody Hayes they will hire Bo Pelini. If they want another Tressel like character they will hire Urban Meyer. An intriguing hire might be TCU's Gary Patterson but Gary might have a better gig in Ft. Worth. No Mike Leach though.
North Carolina? NO.
Mike Leach in Chapel Hill? That is like Jimmy Buffett in Chapel Hill…Not a good match!
Mike Leach in Los Angeles at buttoned-down UCLA? A match made in Heaven in our opinion, that is if the Bruins fire Neuheisel, but we rather doubt that a man with a Massive Ego, UCLA AD Dan Guerrero, could co-exist with someone else in Westwood with a Big Ego, Mike Leach. But it would be great fun to watch though…and Mike Leach would win BIG at UCLA…and the Kiffin family would hate to see that hire! (Side Note: UCLA should have hired Mike Leach in 2008 when they hired Neuheisel and in our opinion Bruins football would be winning BIG right now!) (Side Note II: We are still pulling for you Rick so get of your ass and beat Colorado and those Damn Kiffins!)
Colorado State? YES.
Colorado State and Mike Leach are a perfect fit because Ft. Collins is a nice sized town where Leach could disappear if he wanted to and the Rams would win BIG under Leach.
Tulane? YES.
Mike Leach and New Orleans? Got Perfect? Talk about a place where what one says or does not matter New Orleans is that place! Mike Leach would win BIG at Tulane and everyone would have great fun in the process.
FAU has a new stadium, a growing fan base, is in South Florida which all adds up to PERFECT fit for Mike Leach and the Pirate ship! Got Pirate near water and only just up Highway 1 from where he now lives in Key West? Why yes FAU does!
Washington State? Probably Not.
Mike Leach would win BIG at Washington State but he would probably not like the weather and he would not fit in that great with the folks up there in Eastern Washington…in our humble opinion that is.
Mississippi? YES.
WE would hire Mike Leach at Ole Miss, but we rather doubt Archie Manning would recommend hiring Mike Leach in Oxford. A few of us here at Coaches Hot Seat have been around Archie a few times, without him knowing we were involved with CHS of course, and Archie Manning and Mike Leach just don't go together….BUT…Arching Manning likes to WIN and Mike Leach would WIN at Ole Miss. Just a Note for the folks at Ole Miss: Nick Saban, Les Miles, Bobby Petrino, Dan Mullen and Gene Chizik would HATE to see Mike Leach hired at Ole Miss which is a good determining factor in who a school SHOULD hire!
If UAB could get Mike Leach they should have already fired Neil Callaway and hired Leach. Hell, we would have fired Neil Callaway AFTER the Southern Miss game last night and we would have said to him when firing him something like:
"So you can beat UCF and Southern Miss….BUT…you can't beat Tulane, East Carolina, Troy and Marshall? Get your stuff together….YOU'RE FIRED!"
Fresno State? YES.
If Pat Hill is fired Fresno State would be very lucky to land Mike Leach, but we are not convinced that Pat Hill should be fired yet.
There has been some talk this week in various news media outlets that Dennis Erickson at Arizona State, Ron Zook at Illinois and Greg McMackin at Hawaii are on the Hot Seat.
Would we hire Mike Leach at Arizona State, Illinois or Hawaii?
YES to all of the above.
So judging by the above comments we would hire Mike Leach at most schools in America right now, save Penn State and Ohio State which are particular worlds unto their own and would be bad fits for the Pirate?
Yes, that is right.
For those college ADs and presidents that are considering hiring Mike Leach we would recommend two things written by the Great Michael Lewis who first profiled Mike Leach for the New York Times Magazine in 2005 and then followed up with an article in the NY Times in 2005.
Here are those Michael Lewis pieces which are great reading about the REAL Mike Leach:
Coach Leach Goes Deep, Very Deep, Michael Lewis, New York Times Magazine, December 4, 2005
Texas Tech at the Top? Michael Lewis Isn't Surprised, Michael Lewis, New York Times, November 13, 2008
Guess what the first school that hires Mike Leach is going to get?
A WINNING Football Program….that graduates its players.
That's enough for us…
YES, someone should hire Mike Leach

Pair sought in robbery at NW Side gas station
Murphy's Express gas station robbed by man, woman
San Antonio police are on the lookout for two people who robbed a Northwest Side gas station late Sunday night.
The robbery occurred around 11:40 p.m. Sunday in the 9500 block of Culebra Road.
San Antonio police said a man and woman held up Murphy's Express gas station. The woman acted as a lookout while the man robbed the clerk.
The employee told police the suspect lifted up his shirt as if he had a gun and demanded money. The two suspects got an unknown amount of cash and fled the scene.
Police do not have a good description of the suspects because both had their faces covered during the robbery.

World Cup qualifying draw: Spain land Italy in group stages
The draw for the preliminary stages of the 2018 World Cup has been taken with France taking on Netherlands, Spain and Italy drawn in the same group and England finding themselves placed with Scotland.
Germany will start defending their World Cup title in a six-team UEFA pool where the Czech Republic seems the biggest barrier to advancing as group winners.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a cheaper alternative to Scantron products. Here is what I'm looking for:
1) A machine that can quickly scan a bunch of multiple choice exams on a form like the scantrons that we are all used to. But I don't want a scantron machine because they are too expensive. There must be cheaper solutions out there and I've already come across. Apperson GradeMaster seems to be a pretty good alternative that I've found from my initial Google search.
2) Ideally, I want the machine to be able to read a form that can be printed from a normal printer. I don't want to worry about buying official scantron forms or proprietary forms.
3) Software. Whether the software is tied to the machine or not, I'd like to use some kind of software to process the tests. Meaning, I want more than just the machine marking correct/incorrect answers on the test. I want a software to process the scans and have the data available on my computer to use with excel, etc.
One of the creative solutions I've just been thinking about is using the software Vuescan (or something similar) to process the scans and do something with it. So that would mean I just need an ordinary scanner. But I need a little more than that. I need a normal scanner that can zip through a pile of papers. Or even if it doesn't fly through them, I don't want something I need to open the lid, place the paper, close the lid, scan, open the lid, remove the paper, etc. I'd like a slot-feeding thing or something like that.
Any ideas?

All of what I wrote in my previous post was a long way of introducing my review of Darrell Bock's new tome, 'A Theology of Luke and Acts'[1] which has been kindly sent to me by Zondervan. Because I am in Australia the book did not arrive in time for me to participate in the official blog tour so I now offer my review. I do so, not as an academic who is able to critique Bock's work at a scholarly level but as a pastor who uses such tools to refine his own Biblical-theology and understanding of these two Lucan texts.
Each reviewer was asked to review one chapter from the book. Without knowing what other bloggers chose chapter three, 'The Case for the Unity of Luke-Acts and Reading the Volumes as Luke-Acts and Luke and Acts' because it is a question that appealed to me as I prepare to lead our church through Luke and Acts over the next 12 months (Beginning November).
It is my hope that through the Gospel of Luke we might establish the story of Jesus as the good news of Jesus Christ and locate the story of Jesus as the heart of the gospel message (McKnight). Then, in light of this Jesus story as explained by Luke explore the book of Acts to see how the gospel was lived out and proclaimed in various settings as it spread throughout Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth.
As I hinted at in my previous post, it is my opinion that introductions to the theology of a particular NT book such as this awaken our theological imagination and form in our hearts and minds what the original author and ultimately God is saying through the book, in this case Luke-Acts. Unlike the introductions found in commentaries a whole volume introduction such as this is able to take its time to consider the various issues at hand; in this case whether Luke and Acts was originally one story in two parts or two stories related as original work and sequel; or as two individual pieces of work which stand on their own with little relationship theologically or contextually.
As for 'A Theology of Luke and Acts'[2] Bock's goal is to 'reconnect the volumes to each other and tell Luke's theological story in which one cannot see Jesus without understanding the story of the community that he was responsible for launching.' [3] He argues that the very nature of the canon has caused the church to separate that which was always meant to be understood as one. Although many pastors are well aware of the relationship between these two texts how often do we consider them to be one story? How often do we consider, as Luke has done, the significance of the "orderly account" for the church today?"
The question asked by Bock is whether Luke and Acts are a unified work regarded as one story or, two stories related by author and content. In other words did Luke write his gospel with an eye to Acts or is Acts an after thought? According to Bock there are three main views:
- The first is that from the outset Luke intended to write Acts and designed both books to be read together. The books are designed to "bounce off of each other". Bock describes this view as reading Luke-Acts. The two books are purposefully related to each other.
- Secondly, it is possible that Luke wrote Acts as a follow up to questions asked by Theophilus. There are equally strong grounds to suggest that Luke and Acts are 'Independent but interrelated works' which would make sense if Acts was written as a kind of sequel.
- Thirdly, and perhaps obviously, there are some who hold that the books were never intended to be read as one story and form tow very independent works with different agendas. Although Bock spends time with this argument one quickly gets the sense that he holds little time for it.
Personally, both the first and second arguments presented by Bock could be true and are plausible. From the little I know of Luke-Acts it is clear that Luke was very precise in what he wrote. He designed his two books and structured them in a purposed way. For instance in the same way Mary becomes pregnant by the Holy Spirit so to the church is birthed in the power of the Holy Spirit. The books appear to 'bounce off of each other'.
What I like about this chapter is how Bock acknowledges the need to read Luke and Acts within their canonical framework as well as their original composition and purpose. It is important to read Luke in light of the other gospels while also reading Acts within the context of the early church and the other NT documents.
Based on its literary and theological unity Bock argues that we read Luke-Acts as one story. Here we find his preference for 'one story – two volumes'. However, he also stresses the need to read Luke-Acts as Luke and Acts. We read these books as the story of Jesus set alongside the other gospel narratives and the book of Acts as the story of the community of God's people and how they lived out the Jesus story. This approach of Luke-Acts and Luke and Acts undergirds Bock's presentation of the theological categories found in the one story. In fact if a pastor wanted to take a different tact on preaching Luke-Acts they could easily follow Bock's structure and preach the two books side by side. 17 sermons ideas ready-made and at your disposal!
All in all, from what I have read thus far this book is a great resource for pastors and teachers; but especially for time poor pastors. What Bock doesn't know about Luke and Acts is probably not worth knowing. He writes in scholarly yet easy to understand manner. That is to say you don't have to be an academic to understand the main point of what Bock is saying. Furthermore, the book doesn't get bogged down in verbose details rather it explores the wonder and grandeur of God at work in the life of Jesus and the life of the church while exploring how the two stories overlap, converge and mirror each other. All in all as his tribute to his mentor Martin Hengel espouses Bock has wed both scholarship and a love for the Lord!

As a gift after the birth of her third child, Page was given a simple triple band sterling silver ring. She wanted to have the names of her three boys stamped on the outside - one name on each band. She took her ring to numerous jewelers and called all over the US trying to get this "simple" project done but kept hearing the the word "impossible". So she called her friend Martha who is an experienced designer and together they began the long journey of creating a jewelry line that subtly expresses who is in your heart. After seeing all the "cutesy" mother's jewelry out on the market, they wanted to develop a simple piece of jewelry, which is understated yet meaningful. After literally years of designing, researching and fabricating they released the original Nelle & Lizzy rings. They were thrilled when Oprah noticed the subtle but sophisticated rings and featured a double ring in the November 2007 "O List" of Oprah's favorite things!
After much success with the rings, customers requested that they design necklaces and bracelets with the same simple feel. In the fall of 2008 Nelle & Lizzy released their new designs which include custom stamped bracelets, necklaces and birthstones rings. Each year since, the line has expanded to include lots of beautiful designs which represent the love of family.
All of the Nelle & Lizzy jewelry line is designed to look in your heart and tell what's inside. If you have an idea you would like us to consider - we would LOVE to hear from you!
Many people ask how we came up with the name Nelle & Lizzy - (pronounced Nell). It comes from our middle names, Martha Nelle and Page Elizabeth....enjoy!

Hope everyone had a good weekend! It was a bit busy around here with the 70 degree weather yesterday especially. It's always a good thing though, busy = $ I now have 2 boarders (technically 3 if I count my sister, her quarter pony lives here rent free) though I have always said I wouldn't have any and I've been pleasantly surprised and enjoy having them. One is my doctor, her mare and now her grandson's new gelding live here, her grandson is also a lesson student. The other a long time friend who owns a mare that is a daughter of my retired show mare Buttons and another reining bred mare. Her mares moving in was a spur of the moment thing. She had them boarded at a therapeutic stable/boarding barn and was working 7 days a week and long, long days so wasn't able to see them pretty much all winter. She made a trip to see them and they were in horrible condition. The place was appalling. Probably 30 head in maybe an acre (pushing it to be that big) in mud to their bellies, thin and beat to hell. So I went with her and pulled them out of there. I stopped counting at 200 scrapes & bite marks on one mare alone. I'm glad I could help her and I have the pasture that each boarder gets their own pasture large enough to sustain their horses. Both boarders, their kiddos and a few lesson students were all out yesterday afternoon. Turned out great because there was a group pick up pasture poo party and I drove the skid loader because I didn't have enough pitch forks, it's a good day when you get to watch the manure scooping!!!
Today I will have my 4 yo nephew, I'm sure he will do or say something funny I can share later, he always does. He's a total ladies man already, cracks me up. Last week one of our convos went like this. Out of the blue he says (read it with the r's and l's as w's)"Aunt Manny, 2 girls are falling in love with me." of course I laughed at that, which was apparently offensive, he then said "What, it's true. I just look at them and they fall in love. I can't help it."

In the wake of the holiday season, which normally brings cheerfulness and joy, saw two homes in Elbert County catch fire on Sunday, December 30th.
The first incident occurred in the area of Harmony Road, where a double wide mobile home caught fire. Elbert County Fire Chief Rick Mewborne said that the fire originated in the kitchen/utility area, and that the fire burned a significant hole in the home's roof.
The other house fire happened at a home off of Jerry Lane. The owner of the home was not present during the fire, as Fire Chief Mewborne suspects that the house caught fire at some point that night, and burned completely down before the owner returned home.
Fortunately, no one was injured as a result of the fires.

(ABC 6 News)-- The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an air pollution health advisory for the Twin Cities and Rochester.
The alert is for Sunday and Monday. The agency says sunny skies, hot temperatures and light winds are leading to pollution concentrations that considered unhealthy for sensitive groups. Those include children and the elderly, people with preexisting respiratory or cardiovascular problems, and those participating in outdoor activities requiring extended or heavy exertion.
