Details on Industry Insight.
The two companies said yesterday that Lost will make a limited range of Lost surfboards with Firewire's Future Shapes Technology.
As explained to me by Firewire CEO Mark Price, FST allows boards to flex, which generates increased speed and a tighter turning radius.
Having a legendary shaper like Matt Biolos of Lost collaborate with Firewire gives the new FST technology a big boost, Price said.
I asked Mark and Matt a little more about the collaboration.
Q & A with Mark Price
What is revolutionary about Future Shapes Technology?
Mark Price: Eighty percent of all high performance surfboards are built from polyurethane resin and foam with a wood stringer down the middle of the board. This basic construction technique and raw material mix has not changed in decades. What has changed over the past 20 years is the shape, and performance has improved as a result. However exponential improvements in performance are no longer possible through shape alone (only incremental). The next leap forward in going to center around new materials and construction methods.
FST takes the center stringer and moves in onto the perimeter of the board and thereby allows the board to flex, generating increased speed and a tighter turning radius. In addition, the sandwich construction allows for a lighter stronger board, thereby increasing performance even further.
How will this alliance with Lost help Firewire?
MP: Matt is one of the most respected shapers in the world and LOST is a premier high-performance surfboard label. For them to come out and say they believe in what we're doing adds to the credibility we've been able to generate on our own. Because Firewire has the potential to completely change the way most surfboards are built, there has been an understandable effort from some of our competitors to discredit the technology. LOST's endorsement will help defuse those efforts. In addition, we're a vertical board manufacturer with our own factory so the added production output is also helpful.
Why will this be Firewire's only alliance with a shortboard manufacturer?
MP: We believe that our technology gives us an edge in the market and is an integral part of our brand DNA. LOST has always pushed the boundaries of surfboard design and construction. This partnership is truly strategic in that it gives LOST access to innovative technology and gives us a valuable endorsement. Making our technology widely available to all surfboard brands would not bring with it that same delicate balance of interests. It would dilute the value of this joint venture for both partners.
Is the ultimate goal to sell/make Firewire brand surfboards or to make boards for others using the technology?
MP: Our goal is to develop Firewire into one of the preeminent surfboard brands in the world with an absolute commitment to new and improved technologies. It is far more about the Firewire brand than a manufacturing effort geared towards building massive amounts of surfboards for any company in the hardgoods market.
How has Firewire been accepted in the marketplace?
MP: The evolution of our company has been significant. I've been in this industry a long time and cannot recall a new product or brand that within two years of its inception has challenged the market position of the leaders in its category. That normally takes 7-10 years.
What kind of sales growth does Firewire expect for 2009?
MP: While we're not immune to the current market conditions, we've also have a number of options for the right type of growth. Through disciplined expansion in our product range, a new technology to be launched in January 09, and the evolution of our international business, we're expecting solid growth in 2009.
Q & A Matt Biolos
What do you like about Firewire's Future Shapes Technology?
Matt Biolos: I like the fact that it was originally developed simply in the quest for a better performing surfboard. Not to be stronger, or more profitable. But in its simplest form, it was created by someone with a vision for a better board.
What market niche will the Lost boards with that technology appeal to?
MB: I think it really appeals to the guy who trusts our (Lost) designs and is interested in riding the latest technologies. I can see customers ranging from guys who already like the FST technology and never bought a Lost before, to guys who are devout Lost customers now stoked to have another construction available in the favorite brand.
What other surfboard manufacturers has Lost partnered with in the past?
MB: Yes, We have had a good run with AVISO, hollow carbon fiber boards, and we were actually the most successful (sales wise) brand worldwide with our partnership with Salomons "S Core " technology. The S Cores performed well but were plagued with durability problems. The AVISO boards are fun to ride, but are made domestically and use very expensive materials that keep them priced way above the average surfers affordability.
Do you envision this partnership expanding in the future?
MB: The surfers (customers) will decide that. In the end, they always make the decisions.

August 1, 2015
(May 8, 2013) -- Former Waco High Lion and TCU sprinter Charles Silmon was named the Big 12 Outdoor Track & Field Oustanding Male Performer of the Year by the league on Wednesday.
The senior was the high point scorer at the Big 12 Track & Field Championship in Waco last weekend, as he tallied 22.50 points. He swept the sprint titles, winning the 100 meters and 200 meter while also leading the Frogs to victory in the 4x100-meter relay.
Silmon's 200-meter time of 20.33 is the best in the NCAA this year and is currently the sixth-fastest time in the world this outdoor season.
Led by his effort last weekend, TCU jumped to the No. 17 spot in the latest USTFCCCA rankings.

North High School Hosts Visitors from Sister School in France
North High School is hosting 44 French students from their sister school Lycée René Char in Avignon, France. Along with the students, the head administrator and several teachers have been touring the Sheboygan area, Green Bay, and Madison, learning about American education and experiencing the American way of life.
On Friday, October 21, the SASD administrators invited the principal and teachers on a tour of various schools. In the afternoon the French staff members met with Superintendent Joe Sheehan and other administrators to discuss the academically rigorous projects and the effects on the student body at both Réne Char and North High School. A possibility of expanding the program to South High School was introduced.
The visit is a culture and learning experience for both the French and Sheboygan students. As part of this partnership, the teachers of various classes have also engaged the students from both groups in common learning experiences so they can interact while they visit. There will be French and American discussion in Philosophy of "The Stranger", a shared reading, and in CAPP Composition of the American Dream.
The connection between North High School and René Char was established in 2006. Retired teacher, Linda Bernard-Olson pursued the idea of a partnership with North High School and Réne Char in coordination with the Department of Public Instruction's global literacy initiative. Since that time, there have been numerous connections between the French and American students and teachers through collaborations on class work, projects and publications. Teachers at North High School have embraced the connection and integrated it into coursework in many subject areas include geography, language arts, history, physics, French and culinary arts.
The French visitors will be leaving on Tuesday, October 25. Sheboygan teachers and students are planning a visit to René Char in Avignon, France, over Spring Break to visit the school and to learn about French culture and education.

Why Use Email When You Can Simply Tweet
Date Added: Aug 2009
Format: HTML
The wild world of social media and social networking has some folks throwing off plans to continue to use more traditional forms of lead generation and advertising in favor of the no cost, no hassle methods found in social networks like twitter. Of course most are finding this strategy isn't quite the silver bullet they had hoped for or been sold by the social media's breed of snake oil salesman. After the hype settles however, there is one approach that is getting very positive results, meaning leads and conversions, for small business owners. That approach is the integration of email marketing and social media.

26" Saint Joseph Catholic Statue Hand Painted Onyx
Saint Joseph is the patron of the Universal Church,
of workers, of Fathers, of a happy death.
As Catholics we can turn to dear Saint Joseph in any need.
In nearly every Catholic Church in the pre-Vatican II era,
a Statue of Saint Joseph was displayed on the side altar to
the right of the main altar. Sadly, this is no longer the case
in many of our Churches. Perhaps if you receive a favor
from the Foster Father of Our Lord, you might consider
donating one to your Church!
This beautiful statue deserves a place of honor in your home!
Hand crafted of onyx dust in the time honored tradition of artisans
who are situated near quarries, this image is compressed into a mold and
hand finished resulting in statuary with a texture that is like fine
porcelain, but much more durable. It is then hand painted with
pains taking detail. Actual statue is much more beautiful than
our photos. Every customer who has purchased one has been thrilled.
The statue ships to you directly from the artist's studio.
Shipping is estimated for the contiguous United States.
Slightly less in the mountain states. Shipping is via Fed Ex ground
and requires your phone number for tracking.

The Importance of Healthy Bones
Bones play many important roles in your body. They support you and help you move. They protect your brain, heart, and other organs from injury. Bones also store minerals such as calcium and phosphorous.
Bones are living tissue and change during your life. Every day, your body removes old bone and adds new bone in its place. In young people, more bone is added than removed. After age 30, more bone is removed than added. This makes the bones lighter and more fragile, putting them at greater risk for injury.
Many people have weak bones and do not know it. This is because bone loss often happens over a long period of time and does not hurt. For many people, a broken bone is the first sign that their bones have weakened. Bone weakness is often talked about in terms of low bone mass or low bone density. Bone mass or bone density refers to how much internal bone structure is in a given section of bone. More dense bone, for example, has more calcium and phosphorus – two key minerals that make up bone – per square inch of bone.
Bone Loss and HIV
Bone loss and weakened bones occur more often in people living with HIV (HIV+). Experts are not exactly sure why. It could be due to HIV itself, HIV drugs, or HIV+ people getting older. There are three bone conditions which HIV+ people are more likely to get:
Osteopenia is caused by a loss of bone minerals that leads to lower-than-normal bone density. Most often, osteopenia has no symptoms. The only way to know if you have this condition is to get a bone density test done. If you do find you have osteopenia, there are things you can do (see below) to stop it and possibly even reverse it.
Having osteopenia does not mean that you will definitely develop osteoporosis; however, it does mean that you are more likely to develop it. Although bone loss with osteopenia is generally less severe than with osteoporosis, it does indicate that bones are weaker and may be more likely to break.
Osteoporosis is a more serious condition than osteopenia, and refers to a loss of bone density and bone mass. Over time, breaking down more bone than is put back causes lower bone density, also called bone mineral density, which means there are lower-than-normal levels of minerals in the bones. Bones become weak and are more likely to break. People with osteoporosis most often break bones in the wrist, spine, and hip, and often break bones without having an injury to cause the break.
Osteonecrosis (avascular necrosis)
Osteonecrosis means bone death. It is caused by a loss of blood supply to the bone. Osteonecrosis may cause pain at the affected joint. It usually affects the head of the femur, the ball-shaped part of the thigh bone that connects it to the hip.
Risk Factors
In addition to HIV and HIV drugs, there are other things can put you at risk for bone loss:
Risk factors you can control
- Diet: Getting too little calcium and vitamin D
- Physical activity: Not being physically active, especially not doing weight-bearing or resistance activities
- Body weight: Being too thin
- Tobacco use: Smoking, using snuff, or chewing tobacco
- Alcohol and coffee intake: Drinking a lot of alcohol and/or caffeine
- Testosterone levels: Low testosterone levels in men
- Use of certain medicines: Long-term use of medicines including Depo-Provera (an injectable form of birth control), glucocorticosteroids (drugs such as prednisone and cortisone), thyroid hormones, anticonvulsants (anti-seizure medications), heparin, pentamidine, and ketoconazole
Risk factors you cannot control
- Age: Your chances of getting osteoporosis increase as you get older
- Gender: Women have a greater chance of getting osteoporosis
- Menopause: Women lose bone due to hormone changes that happen after menopause. While hormone replacement therapy is no longer routinely recommended, it is an effective therapy for bone loss that does not respond to other treatments.
- Ethnicity: Mexican American, non-Hispanic white, and Asian women are at higher risk; African-American women are also at risk, but less so
How to Know if You Have Bone Problems
Osteoporosis and Osteopenia
Bone mineral density (BMD) tests are the only way to find out if you have osteoporosis or osteopenia. The most widely used BMD test is a DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan. The DEXA scan is a kind of x-ray, and is an easy and painless test that takes about 15 minutes.
Osteonecrosis can cause pain in the joints, usually in the hip area. At first the pain may only occur when you put weight on the joint. In more severe cases the pain can be constant. An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan can spot early stages. X-rays and other scans can detect advanced osteonecrosis.
Diet and Healthy Bones
Even though you cannot control all of the things that lead to bone disease, you can control your diet. The mineral calcium makes up a large part of your bones. This means that if you do not get enough calcium in your diet, your bones may get weaker.
Calcium is found naturally in some foods, and it is added to others. Some foods that contain calcium are:
- Dairy products, including milk, yogurt, and cheese
- Soy products: tofu, tempeh, soy milk
- Seeds: sesame seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds
- Dark leafy greens: spinach, kale, chard, collard greens, turnip greens
- Broccoli
- Beans: black beans, navy beans
- Dried fruits and nuts: figs, almonds, brazil nuts
- Oranges and orange juice (especially calcium-fortified orange juice)
- Salmon or sardines with the bones
Some HIV+ people still need to take calcium pills every day even if their diet includes foods with calcium in them. A registered dietitian or other trained health care provider can help you decide if you should take calcium supplements. If you do take calcium supplements, it may be a good idea to take calcium pills with vitamin D in them, since your body cannot use calcium without vitamin D. According to the Office of Dietary Supplements at the National Institutes of Health, the recommended dietary allowances are:
- Girls and young women nine to 18 years old need 1,300 mg of calcium and 600 IU of vitamin D daily
- Women 19 to 50 need 1,000 mg of calcium and 600 IU of vitamin D daily
- Women 50 to 70 need 1,200 mg of calcium and 600 IU of vitamin D daily
- Women 71 and over need 1,200 mg of calcium and 800 IU of vitamin D daily
- Pregnant and breastfeeding teens need 1,300 mg of calcium and 600 IU of vitamin D daily
- Pregnant and breastfeeding adults need 1,000 mg of calcium and 600 IU of vitamin D daily
Talk to your health care provider before taking any supplements and do not take more than these amounts unless instructed to by your health care provider.
Physical Activity and Healthy Bones
If you do not have joint pain, it is important to be physically active on a regular basis. When you exercise your muscles pull against your bones, which helps keep your bones healthy and strong. The best kind of physical activities to keep your bones strong are activities that use weight or resistance such as:
- Walking (you can use ankle weights)
- Working out with weights or weight machines
- Stair climbing
- Hiking
- Aerobics
- Jogging
If you cannot do high-impact weight-bearing activities, try lower-impact ones. For example, try walking or stair climbing instead of jogging. If you have not exercised regularly for a while, check with your health care provider before beginning a new exercise program.
Once you have your health care provider's approval, start your exercise routine slowly. Every week or two, make your routine five minutes longer. In the end, it is recommended that you do 150 minutes of moderate-level physical activity each week (e.g., five 30-minute workouts).
Drugs to Treat Osteoporosis
Diet and exercise are best for keeping bone loss from occurring. They can also be helpful if you already have osteopenia or osteoporosis, but in some cases, your health care provider may also recommend treatment with medication.
Make sure to ask your health care provider about how to take the medication, possible side effects, and whether there are any interactions with HIV drugs you take. Some of the osteoporosis medications that are commonly used include:
These drugs are widely used to treat and prevent osteoporosis. They include:
- Fosamax (alendronate)
- Boniva (ibandronate)
- Actonel or Atelvia (risedronate)
- Zometa, Zomera, Aclasta and Reclast (zoledronic acid)
It is important to get enough calcium and vitamin D when you are taking a bisphosphonate.
- Estrogen: In women, replacing the hormone estrogen has shown to decrease the number of fractures. Sometimes estrogen is combined with another hormone called progesterone. However, estrogen replacement therapy can increase the risk of developing other diseases, including certain cancers. Because of this, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends using other osteoporosis medications. If estrogen/progesterone are used, the lowest possible doses should be considered.
- Testosterone: Testosterone therapy may be useful to slow or reverse decreased bone density and strength in men
- Miacalcin (calcitonin): This naturally occurring hormone slows bone loss and increases bone density in the spine
- Forteo (teriparatide): Forteo is a parathyroid hormone that has been shown to rebuild bone and increases bone mineral density, especially in the spine
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs)
Evista (raloxifene) is in a class of osteoporosis drugs called SERMs. Evista was developed to work like estrogen therapy, but with fewer side effects.
Protect Your Bones
It is important that HIV+ women, especially those who have gone through menopause, pay careful attention to their bone health. Speak to your health care provider and follow these steps to help protect your bones:
- Ask your health care provider if you need a DEXA scan
- Follow a diet with plenty of calcium and vitamin D
- Seek the advice of a registered dietitian if you need help choosing the right foods
- Take calcium supplements if needed (talk to your health care provider first)
- Ask your health care provider what physical activity is safe for you, and start doing it
- Stop smoking and reduce your intake of caffeine and alcohol
- Tell your health care provider if you are experiencing joint pain, especially in the hip area

Having already served jail time on the sodomy charge before entering her plea, Angel was scheduled for release on July 31, 2000. As is standard for all state inmates on their way out, an "End of Confinement" report on Angel was completed. Rebecca Woody, whose title with the Department of Corrections is "associate psychologist," even though she's actually just a professional counselor, did the report on Angela. According to Woody, Angel is a sexual sadist who is "willing to risk infecting others with a deadly disease by having unprotected sexual contact with them."
She then included language that would dramatically alter Angel's fate:
Angela Coffel, wrote professional counselor Rebecca Woody, "may meet the criteria of a sexually violent predator."
Whether Angel was, at that point, a sexual predator was an open question; whether she had been preyed upon most of her life was not.
Her parents, Harvey and Debbie Coffel, and Angel's younger brother, Raymond, all refused to comment for this story, but according to Angel and the psychological reports prepared in the case, her childhood was marked by physical abuse and violence. Her parents hit each other when they argued; they hit their children. According to Angel and her lawyers, Debbie Coffel once threw a lamp at Raymond because he wouldn't listen to her and, in the process, cut his head. It was only after he was taken to the hospital that the family learned Raymond suffered from hearing loss in both ears.
Alcohol and drug abuse also marred the Coffel home. Angel says she lived in a household in which her father and mother frequently smoked marijuana in front of their kids and didn't object when Angel began smoking. Angel told psychologists and claimed in deposition and trial testimony that when she and Raymond were children, her mother turned tricks while her father was at work; she also alleged being raped by a friend of her uncle's, as well as by a male teenage relative. When she was 9, Angel says, a 15-year-old girl sexually abused her.
Much of Angel's upbringing was left to her grandmother, a woman Angel nicknamed "Big Mama." But even her grandmother couldn't control Angel. Around the age of 13, Angel was placed in foster care after hitting her mother in the head with a board.
When Angel was 14, Big Mama took her to St. Anthony's Medical Center to seek help for her granddaughter's depression, alcohol and drug use. Angel was admitted for 24 days during July and August 1991. Hospital records note her history of self-mutilation -- burning and cutting her clitoris -- substance use and hypersexuality. The staff observed her mood swings, crying and anger. A full psychological evaluation concluded that her behavior stemmed from the sexual abuse she sustained. Although not psychotic, Angela had an unrealistic and grandiose manner, the psychologists found, and they rendered a diagnosis of "depression covered by hyperactivity," "post-traumatic stress disorder related to sexual trauma," "chemical abuse and/or dependency" and "conduct disorder, developing mixed personality stabilized." Seven months later, Angel was readmitted to St. Anthony's after cutting her wrists. Her diagnosis was changed to "bipolar disorder, depressed" and "depression, recurrent." After 16 days, the hospital turned her over to the care of the Missouri Division of Family Services.
School was another problem in Angel's life. She was found to have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder at an early age but only took Ritalin for a short time. Angel says it had bad side effects. While enrolled in St. Louis grammar schools, she was found to have a learning disability. IQ tests taken periodically throughout her childhood placed Angel at the "high end of the borderline range of intellectual functioning or the low end of the low average range." At age 11, Angel was identified by the school district as "severely emotionally disturbed," and she was moved to the Edgewood Children's Center, where she seemed to thrive. Her peer relationships, boundaries and self-control improved. But she still needed to be reminded about sexually provocative behavior, Edgewood records indicate. After being discharged from Edgewood because she "improved," Angel sporadically attended Webster Middle School in St. Louis, Hickman High School in Columbia (while living in a group foster home) and St. Louis' Roosevelt High.
At 16, Angel ran away from her parents' home and into a relationship with a Bloods gang member in his mid- to late 20s. Angel says her parents didn't try to stop her. "My mom and dad did not give a fuck what I did," she says. "Dad was always out working, and my mom was constantly doing something she didn't supposed to be doin'." Angel says she was part of the gang. Her boyfriend, she says, "was like he was the king, and I was the queen." The gang "was like my family -- they showed me love and they were there." During her gang life, she claims, she was a passenger in cars involved in drive-by shootings. It is also during this period that Angel contracted HIV. In her testimony and in subsequent interviews, her accounts of the source of the HIV infection have differed: She's blamed her boyfriend, a tattoo and a gang initiation in which she claims to have had sex with 20 men.

here's a link:
I was a guy that replaced him on their record, Serious Fun and, while I didn't really know him well, I think this is a loss for our drumming community. Might have to play a little My Sharona for him at drummerLive!

Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts 3 are one of the most anticipated games under development at Square Enix studios. Initially titled Final Fantasy versus XIII, Final Fantasy 15 was first re-revealed at this year's E3 along with the much anticipated third entry in the Kingdom Heart series, Kingdom Hearts III.
At the annual Japanese anime event, titled Jump Festa '14, Square Enix will be showing off a ton of games but Final Fantasy 15 and Kingdom Hearts 3 will have no presence at the event. This is a bit disappointing since we haven't seen anything since E3 and given the fans have been waiting for a long time for any kind of new information, it is honestly lingering on the point of frustration.
Below is the complete line up for Square Enix at Jump Festa '14.
- Dragon Quest X: Version 2
- Bravely Default: For the Sequel
- Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD Remaster
- Dragon Warrior Monsters 2
- Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call
- Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix
- Dragon Quest 8: Journey of the Cursed King
- Final Fantasy 6
- Gyrozetter
Jump Festa '14 will run from Dec. 21-22 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. Are you disappointed by this news? Let us know in the comments section below.

Thank you all so so much for your kind words and thoughts. I told Ray about them and he says that he's very touched. I think that prayers and healing vibes work wonders. Ray is getting better and better every days. This morning was his first with no hip pains. He says that his energies are a little better and tomorrow he'll have his surgery stitches ( metal ones ) removed. This will help a lot. Again, thank you very very much. :17_002:
Good morning everybody. Just a few words to tell you that Ray is doing better and better every day. He was having pains in his right leg at the beginning of the week, but since yesterday, no more pain. A nurse came over to remove the last stitches and this was a great deal of relief for him. He uses his pain pills less and less frequently, but so far he still needs a little pain killer once in a while, just to ease the burning from the scar itself. It's such a good sign. I can relax more than before from now on. I was always a little bit scared that the scar would start to bleed or swell, but it looks good. I pray that everything still goes on fine. He's going to see the surgeon on april 25th, and I'm sure he'll tell him that he wont need to wear the corset for 3 months...hmmmm I hope 2. I have to start packing soon since we are moving in July to a better place for us ( no more steps ). So really, I need all my energies to be back. In facts, I feel that I'll be fine. So thank you again for being there. I'll be back on these boards more when the life will be less rock and roll for me and Ray. But I have my latest SK novel to read before going to bed. And I put a 1958 Plymouth Fury on my desktop as wallpaper. Love the look of it and so does Ray. :51_002:
Continued healing vibes for Ray. Inner calm and energy for you during the time of the move.
Here's Ray wih his ''corset''Attachment 17325

Smoke Quest Guide by metalgearsonic
Version: 1.0 | Updated: 08/16/06 | Printable Version
MORTAL KOMBAT: SHAOLIN MONKS Smoke Quests Guide Written by metalgearsonic Vers. 1.0 Contents A: Legal Disclaimer B: Finding Smoke C: The Quests D: Rewards E: Closing ============================================================================== A: Legal Disclaimer ============================================================================== This FAQ/ Strategy Guide was written solely by me, metalgearsonic, and all chracters mentioned or used are owned by Midway Games. This guide is to be used on Gamefaqs.com only and used with their kind permission. All tips and advice used in this guide were found through gameplay expirience, no otherhelp was given from any outside agency or distributor. ============================================================================== B: Finding Smoke ============================================================================== Smoke is very difficult to find in this game so this should help you out a bit Also I'd recommend doing the quests once everything else in the game has been completed to make life easier. 1: Go to the Living Forest 2: Go to the area with the large waterfall at the back of it (The one with the ledges you climb up) 3: Destroy one of the clay soldiers' shields 4: Throw the clay soldier into the engraved wall behind it. 5: The wall should collapse and reveal a new area. Smoke is inside there. ============================================================================== C: The Quests ============================================================================== The First Quest ............... Break down the walls in the Soul Tombs to reveal the hidden Fatality Get to the Soul Tombs. When you reach the hub area (with the save point), go to the door with the green marking above it. In the next room with the Tarkata, block their attacks but throw them into the walls at the back: I I I I I I I I I I I I I I IXXXIXXXXXXXIXXXXXXXIXXXXXXXIXXXXXXXIXXXI IXXXIXXXXXXXIXXXXXXXIXXXXXXXIXXXXXXXIXXXI here here here here I don't know if it helps, but when they are broken though you will see the arrows needed for that particular fatality code. Head back to the forest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Second Quest ---------------- Destroy the evil barriers in the Wu-Shi academy to find the Warrior Shrine. Yup, you have to go all the way back there, I'm afraid. Travel to the academy, then work your way back from the portal, to the building where you cut down those lava pots, way back to the area with all the catapults. Go all the way back so you're at the small stone building that collapsed on you at the start of the game (with the small ramp upwards). Go left until you see the pit of spikes then long jump or double jump to clear it. Use the fist of ruin on the statue, then move to the next area. Go left on the hill to the swing poles, and swing across them to reach the statue of Buddha on top of the taller hill. Give the statue an 'offering' and the gates will open. Go inside and you will find the shrine. Return to Smoke for more work.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Third Quest --------------- Perform 3 sacrifices in the Soul Tombs torture room. All the way back there again. When you get there, a small clip will show you where this room is. Inside are 3 raised rooms where you must put each enemy. This is difficult do even without them attacking at the same time. My best idea is to use an uppercut to launch them next to the room, and then do an aerial O attack to push them inside. Make sure you do the O attack when the enemy is at their peak height to increase your chance of it working. The actual best move is Scorpion's standing throw becuase it launches high enough without having to intervene again. The shadow priest might also give you some hassle so try and get rid of him for a while. The Tarkata also regenerate constantly so do'nt worry about having to keep leaving the area. Make your way back to Smoke when you've completed this quest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Fourth Quest ---------------- Throw an enemy into each of the purple portals in The Portal lobby. This is probably the easiest quest, as there are only 2 purple portals, and it is the closest area to you. There's near the entrance to the Evil Monastery, so throw an enemy into it there. The other one is directly below it, next/near to the large blue portal. Do the same again and return to Smoke for the final quest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Fifth/Final Quest --------------------- Enter the portal and survive in the frozen peaks. Hey look, its the Pit II! Sweet.....Go through the portal shown to you and then towards the centre of the Pit II. A number of demon enemies will attack you, so its your job to get rid of them. The best way is to throw them over the edge and watch a nostalgic clip of what happens when they hit the bottom. You will lose a lot of health here, so thats why thrwoing them gets rid of them quickly. When the last enemy hits rock bottom (very bad joke, i know) Smoke will tell you the quest is complete, so return to get your reward from him. ============================================================================== D: The Rewards ============================================================================== This is what you get for completing each quest: Quest 1: 500 EXP. Quest 2: 500 EXP. Quest 3: 700 EXP. Quest 4: 700 EXP. Quest 5: 50,000 EXP. (KERCHING!) MORTAL KOMBAT II* *NOT AVAILABLE ON PAL VERSION OF SHAOLIN MONKS* ============================================================================== E: Closing ============================================================================== All thanks go to Midway for a great game and Gamefaqs and its members for being great and reading this.

This invention relates generally to the field of grid-based computing and, more specifically, to a system and method for searching a network using grid-based computing.
Grid-based computing is a general term that refers to the use of resources in a network to perform computer functions. In the past, grid-based computing has been used in internal networks such as local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), the Internet, and other network computing systems in which a user may be logged on to the network or otherwise connected to the network, but not using the terminal. Generally, the user terminal has an application loaded thereon which sends a signal to a server also connected to the network informing the server that the terminal is available for grid-based computing. Typically, prior uses of grid-based computing have included using the resources of an idle terminal to analyze stored data accessible by the server.
Many companies, institutions, government agencies, and other entities install networks that allow members of the organization to communicate with each other in a dedicated network system. Often, these organizations use a common file system to store files within portions of the network. Many of these networks are geographically dispersed, with multiple servers located in multiple geographic locations. Typically, each location has a server or group of servers that stores files generated by systems or users located at that location.
In accordance with the present invention, disadvantages and problems associated with previous techniques for searching for files within a network may be reduced or eliminated.
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for searching a network is provided wherein a master server requests an idle client to perform a search. The method may include receiving an acceptance notification from the client, receiving the search results from the client, and storing the result. According to another embodiment, a method for searching a network is provided that includes a client notifying a master server of the client's availability. The client may also be operable to receive search criteria that defines the type of stored data in the network to be located by the client. Additionally, the method provides for recording a search status in a database and storing the search result in the database.
In another embodiment, a system for searching a network is provided that includes a master server operable to manage a search, a client operable to perform the search, and a database operable to store search data. An additional embodiment of the present invention includes a task management module operable to manage search criteria for a search within a network. Additionally, a client communication module is operable to locate an available client in the network and assign the search to the available client, and a data management module is operable to store search data in a database.
An advantage of an embodiment of the invention includes using multiple system resources to divide searches within a network to reduce network traffic. Another advantage is greater speed associated with searching for files within the network. Yet another advantage is increased efficiency for the use of network resources.
Certain embodiments of the invention may include none, some, or all of the above advantages. One or more other advantages may be readily apparent to one skilled in the art from the figures, descriptions, and claims included herein.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
As the widespread use of the Internet has become more common, grid-based computing has emerged as a way for organizations, individuals, and companies to employ resources greater than those of an individual server or computer terminal to analyze large amounts of data. An application may be resident in the memory of both an administrator and a client computer. In a grid-based computing scenario, a client with grid-based computing software may become idle. Upon becoming idle, the client may notify the administrator that it is available to perform grid-based computing functions. The administrator then sends an amount of data to the client for analysis. Upon completing the analysis, the client returns the results of the analysis to the administrator.
Networks with associated servers coupled to the network can store large amounts of data for future use. The servers or computers coupled to the network may store the data in files or shared folders in memory units coupled to servers. For example, any personal computer owned by an individual coupled to the Internet is capable of transmitting files to other computers and/or users on the Internet, and receiving files from other users on the Internet. In a larger scheme, a server coupled to a network may have a large number of clients, nodes, or terminals coupled thereto along with multiple data storage devices, such as databases. The server may act as a conduit through which the clients may connect to the network. Such arrangements may allow for the clients to store data on the server or a database coupled to the server. Allowing the clients to store data on the server or an associated database provides centralized storage for the clients coupled to that particular server.
Organizations such as corporations, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and other public and private entities may use networks, such as a wide area network (WAN) or a local area network (LAN) to efficiently communicate between different locations and/or clients. Additionally, individuals use the Internet, or portions thereof, to communicate more effectively with other individuals or entities. In accordance with the present invention, the term "client" may be used to describe any server, personal computer, computer terminal, node, or any other device employing an input output interface, a network interface, and a data processing unit. The term "network" may include WAN, LAN, a metropolitan area network (MAN), portions of the Internet, or any other network, including an optical or wireless network, capable of transmitting data between clients.
These entities may employ a file storage structure involving servers located at different locations within the network, coupled to the network and able to communicate with each other via the network. Additionally, these system architectures may employ file storage systems that are geographically based according to the location of the servers. Accordingly, a user may be able to access the data storage system via a client coupled to a server in the system architecture. Using this access, the user may input data that is subsequently stored in the server to which the client is coupled. Large numbers of files may be stored in servers in the network that are searchable by clients coupled to servers in other geographic locations in the network using the system architecture. However, due to the large number of files stored in such a network, searching for specific files or file types is extremely difficult to perform by a single client. Moreover, searching for specific files or file types is extremely time consuming and consumes a vast amount of network resources. For example, any user desiring to find a specific file or file type may be required to search the entire network, routing through multiple servers and multiple geographic locations coupled to the network in order to search through what may be thousands or even millions of files to find the desired file or file type.
Additionally, the "super-group" and "sub-group" preferably identify a server group and server sub-group within the system architecture. For example, a super-group may be defined as all of the servers located at a campus in a particular network, whereas a sub-group may be a group of servers or single server located in a building of the campus, wherein the campus may be coupled to the network through the super-group. Thus, a client may be coupled to a sub-group within a super-group coupled to the network.
The server or folder or share included in the request may identify a specific folder that the search is directed to find. Additionally, a particular type of file or data may be requested. Typically, a file will have an associated suffix. By way of example only, and not by way of limitation, this suffix allows certain applications, such as Microsoft� Excel� or other proprietary programs that have a suffix (such as "*.xls" for Excel) to readily retrieve files associated with the application. Accordingly, the file pattern of "*.xls" will direct the client to search for all Microsoft Excel spreadsheet files within the super-group and/or sub-group, if provided. If no sub-group or super-group is provided for the search, the search may be directed to the entire network based on the file pattern, and/or server, folder, or share provided in the search request.
At step 130 the server preferably searches for a sub-group client or clients coupled to the sub-group within which the data resides. Step 130 may also include searching for multiple clients to perform a search simultaneously. If no sub-group clients are available, at step 140 the sub-group server queried may attempt to discern if one or more super-group clients are available to perform the search at step 150. If no super-group clients are available at step 150, the server preferably continues to search for a sub-group client that becomes available or a super-group client that comes available by returning to steps 130, 140 and 150, respectively. In a particular embodiment, the server may search for an available client anywhere in the network or for an external client. If no client is available for the search, in the present embodiment the system may remain idle with the search waiting to be assigned until a client becomes available within the system. In another embodiment, the server may return the request to the master server informing it that no search can be performed (not explicitly shown).
If, at step 140 a sub-group client is available, at step 142 the search is preferably assigned to the sub-group client. The search may also be referred to as a query and may include some or all of the following information: a job identifier, a user identification to grant the required level of access to the client or clients performing the search, a password to authenticate the user ID, a general location identifier that preferably limits the portion or portions of the network to be searched, a specific location identifier, if known, to further limit the portions of the network to be searched, a type of data to be searched for, such as a file pattern, data content, file suffix, file size, or other data type. At step 160, the client may perform the search within the sub-group and at step 162 the job status is stored in the database. The job status may be stored in the database by the server originally receiving the request returning to the master server the IP (Internet protocol) address of the specific client performing the search, along with the job identifier corresponding to the search. If, at step 140, no sub-group client is available, but at step 150 a super-group client is available, the job is preferably assigned to the super-group client at step 152, and the client performs the search at step 160. Again, at step 162 the job status is preferably stored in the database by the server receiving the initial query returning to the master server the client IP address that has been assigned the search corresponding to the job identifier for storage in the database.
Once the search has been completed, at step 170 the client may report the search results, and at step 180 the results may be stored in the database. Preferably, the database has at least two sections that allow for search status to be recorded in one section and search results to be stored in another section. Additionally, access to the storage database may be gained through the master server, or in other embodiments, individual clients, sub-group servers, or super-group servers may be granted access to the storage database directly. In a particular embodiment, several responses for a search may be entered into the database as search results. For example, a search result may contain any or all of the following: file name, job identifier, super-group in which the file was located, sub-group in which the file was located, folder, file share, or sub-folder in which the file was located, time and date of the file's creation, storage, or modification, and the size of the file. Other appropriate parameters or characteristics may also be recorded.
It should be understood that if a client becomes actively engaged by a user, and thus unable to use client resources for the search, the client may notify the master server of its unavailability. Upon notification from the client that the client is no longer actively performing the search, the master server preferably updates the job status to reflect the suspension of the search in the database. Additionally or alternatively, the server may search for a different client to perform the suspended search.
In the case of a server as a client, upon an extended period of inactivity, and/or when a minimum number of users have active connections to the server or some other suitable criterion, the server may notify the master server with the server's IP address that the server is available to commit server resources to performing a search.
At step 240, the master server directs a search request to the client. The search request may include any or all of the information listed as the search request criteria provided in accordance with
Super-groups 350 may include clients 310, server groups 354 coupled to each other by a sub network 352, and data storage units 356 coupled to server groups 354. Individual clients 310 are coupled to server groups 354 within a geographical region that is closer in proximity to another server group 354 within super-group 350 than to server groups in other super-groups 350. For example, a campus of a typical corporation may have several server groups, or sub-groups, located on the campus. The campus may be geographically separate from other campuses within the network architecture of the organization. Thus, in a particular embodiment, a super-group 350 may contain two buildings of a campus, each building housing a server sub-group 354 connected through a sub-network 352 to another building housing a server group 354 with clients 310 coupled thereto. Each super-group 350 is preferably coupled via network 340 to master server 320. Additionally, a data storage device 330 is preferably coupled to master server 320. Data storage device 330 may have at least two storage areas 332 and 334. In a particular embodiment, storage area 332 may be operable to store search status, whereas data storage area 334 may operable to store search results, or vice versa.
According to an embodiment of the invention, and in accordance with
In the search request, master server 320 may provide for a client 310 to have greater access to network resources than a normal user of a client 310 is authorized. In such a case, the search request may include an alternative user directory identification or user ID, with an associated password, that is preferably operable to authenticate the user identification for the user directory access. Additionally, the search request may direct the client 310 to search in a specific super-group, sub-group, or other portion of the network for a specific type of file as defined by a file pattern, or group of file patterns. Additionally, the search results preferably include the job identifier, the location of the file, including the server on which the file was located, the associated storage of a separate client 310 on which the file was located, the file folder, file share, or file directory in which the file was located, the name of the file, as well as the date and time and/or size of the file that was located.
Master server 420 may manage data associated with the organization's business or other activities, which may in particular embodiments include creating, modifying, and deleting data files associated with the organization's operations or in response to data received from one or more clients 410, function modules 430, or super-groups 350. Additionally, master server 420 may call one or more function modules 430 to provide particular functionality according to particular needs, as described more fully below. Master server 420 may include a data processing unit 450, a memory unit 460, a network interface 470, and any other suitable components for managing data associated with organizational needs. The components of master server 420 may be supported by one or more computer systems at one or more sites. One or more components of master server 420 may be separate from other components of master server 420, and one or more suitable components of master server 420 may, where appropriate, be incorporated into one or more other suitable components of master server 420. Data processing unit 450 may process data associated with organizational business, which may include executing coded instructions (which may in particular embodiments be associated with one or more function modules 430). Memory unit 460 may be coupled to data processing unit 450 and may include one more suitable memory devices, such as one or more random access memories (RAMs), read-only memories (ROMs), dynamic random access memories (DRAMs), fast cycle RAMs (FCRAMs), static RAMs (SRAMs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), erasable programmable read-only memories (EPROMs), electronically erasable programmable read-only memories (EEPROMs), microcontrollers, or microprocessors. Network interface 470 may provide an interface between master server 420 and communications network 340 such that master server 420 may communicate with super-groups 350, their associated server groups and clients 310, as well as any other system coupled to network 340.
A function module 430 may provide particular functionality associated with handling organizational data or handling data transactions according to system 400. As an example only, and not by way of limitation, a function module 430 may provide functionality associated with search or task management, client communication, data management, billing, account management, or billing management. A function module 430 may be called by master server 420 (possibly as a result of data received from a client 410, or a client 310 within a super-group 350 as disclosed by
In the embodiment shown in
After task management module 432 generates search criteria, client communication module 434 preferably locates an available client in the network to assign the search to the client. The client to perform the search may be a client 410 or a client 310 located within super-group 350 as described by
The task status preferably is managed by data management module 436 and stored in database 440. Database 440 preferably has at least two sections. In one embodiment, database 440 has a search status section 442 and a search result section 444. After task management module 432 has generated search criteria for transmission to a client, data management module 436 may operate to direct master server 420 to store the search criteria in the search status section 442 of database 440. Additionally, search status section 442 of database 440 may be operable to store the status of any individual search by a unique job identifier attached to the search criteria generated by task management module 432. Data management module 436 is preferably operable to store search status in database 440 by directing search status section 442 to store searches that have not been completed and labeling them as awaiting search, in progress, suspended, or any other search status that allows the status of a search to be readily ascertained.
For example, once a search has been generated by task management module 432, data management 436 may direct master server 420 to store a search criteria as a job that is "awaiting search". Once client communication module 434 has established communication with an individual client and assigned the individual search, data management module 436 preferably directs master server 420 to update the status of the search in database 440 as "in progress". If for some reason, the client performing the search becomes engaged by a user, the search may be suspended. In such a case, data management module 436 preferably directs master server 420 to direct database 440 to update the status of the search to "suspended."
Upon completion of a search, a client 410 or a client 310 preferably transmits the results of the search via communications network 340 to master server 420. Additionally, a client may transmit to data management 420 a client status informing master server 420, and specifically client communication module 434, whether or not the client is available for additional searches, or whether the client is unavailable. Upon receiving the search results, data management module 436 preferably directs database 440 to update the search status in search status section 442 that the search is complete. Additionally, data management module 436 preferably directs database 440 to store the search result section 444 of database 440. Preferably, the search results are stored according to the unique job identifier listed in the search status section 442 of database 440 so that the search criteria are easily recalled as needed.
Although the present invention has been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions, and alterations may be made, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the claims.

Bugle ancestry prize helped my research
Posted: June 26, 2014|
THANK you for the cheque for a subscription to Ancestry as a prize in the Bugle competition.
I have already managed to find new records to add more details to my family tree. My great uncle George Gobourn and his cousin Sidney Gobourn both worked on the railways in Wolverhampton.
Sidney worked for the Great Western Railway and joined in 1911 as an engine cleaner. He earned 1s 9d. This wage had increased to 3s three years later when he transferred to Chester as a fireman.
It is lovely to be able to add details to an ancestor's life and I am sure the subscription will help me add more. Thank you again.
Beverley Reynolds.

NeW Delhi • The 16-year-old reported that she had been gang raped, only to be raped again by the same men the next day and later threatened for going to the police in eastern India. By the time charges were filed more than two months later, she had been set on fire and died from her injuries.
The girl's death on New Year's Eve in West Bengal came more than a year after a deadly gang rape in New Delhi raised awareness and outrage over chronic sexual violence in India and government failures to protect women. The New Delhi rape was considered a major reason for why voters ousted the capital's government last month, and a furious response to the West Bengal case suggests that with general elections just months away, politicians are anxious to impress voters who are demanding that women's safety become a police priority.
The teen's family, allegedly run out of town by her assailants, accuses police of trying to cover up the crimes.
Improving sensitivity by police officers and medical workers is crucial to improving women's safety in this country of 1.2 billion, activists say. Even as the government has promised to improve justice for rape victims, some trying to report sexual crimes have said they were harassed by officers making lewd comments, demanding bribes or simply shooing them away.
The girl reported being gang raped on Oct. 25 and 26, but Kolkata police did not arrest anyone until the girl ended up in a hospital Dec. 23 with severe burn injuries. Doctors then determined she was pregnant. Police initially told reporters she had attempted suicide, but the girl's family disputed that, saying she was set on fire by associates of those who had gang raped her.
After the girl's death led to a public uproar, police arrested and charged six suspects in the gang rapes and another two accused by the girl of setting her alight. A fast-track court will hold a first hearing in the both cases Jan. 15. Meanwhile, a forensic laboratory is determining the age of the girl's fetus in order to establish whether she became pregnant from the rapes.
The case has reinforced the widespread view in India that police are a major part of India's chronic problem with sexual violence.
Massive protests erupted in Kolkata, with critics including artists, rights activists and opposition politicians saying authorities ignored the family's complaints of harassment and moved too slowly to arrest the suspects.
Critics question why police filed a case over the first reported gang rape, but not the second. Both the opposition and the girl's taxi driver father are demanding that federal investigators take over the case.
"The fact that politicians and public figures are speaking in such strong terms is surprising," said Abhilasha Kumari, a New Delhi-based sociologist and women's right's activist. "Historically, the concerns of women have never mattered much to the political community, but in the past year safety and security of women have become a political issue, and it will be even more so now with elections coming."
The girl's family accused police of trying to cover up the crimes, and even of hijacking the hearse carrying his daughter's body in an attempt to take it for cremation against the family's wishes. A street brawl broke out as opposition supporters tried to block police from taking the body from the mortuary, where protesters had planned a rally to criticize a lack of sensitivity by authorities.
Police said they had taken the highly unusual step of seizing the body in an attempt to help the family during a difficult time and to spare the city any more upset from the case.
The incident shocked Bengalis. Filmmaker Aparna Sen said she was "devastated." The girl's remains were eventually cremated Wednesday night with the family's consent.
"Those who have gang raped my daughter should be given death penalty," the grieving father told reporters last week after meeting with the state's governor to complain about a "tyrannical" police response. Neither the girl nor her father is being named by Indian media under laws guarding the identity of rape victims.
The father said police threatened him, demanding that he leave the state or else have his taxi business shut down.
West Bengal's government, led by a woman chief minister, has said little about the case apart from defending its response.
Chief Secretary Sanjay Mitra pledged financial aid for the family and reiterated "our commitment for zero tolerance to attacks on women."
The state's urban development minister accused critics of politicizing a tragedy. "The state government has taken appropriate action in the case," Firhad Hakim said.

Of course, the fact that Adobe isn't fixing it and we aren't allowed to fix it nicely illustrates why having the whole world depend on a piece of proprietary software is a bad idea at least from a security point of view.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15, 2008 The surge in Iraq is providing a window of opportunity for other necessary developments in Iraq and throughout the Middle East, Navy Adm. Michael G. Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told military analysts in the Pentagon today.
Mullen spoke about his priorities and the short-term and long-term challenges facing the military.
From the start of his term in office, Mullen has made developing a Middle East military strategy a priority. He said the strategic look at the region is broader than just Iraq and Afghanistan; it includes Sunni-Shiia problems, Palestinian-Israeli relations, and the problems presented by Syria, Lebanon and Iran.
"In Iraq, security is clearly better," Mullen said. "I don't just read about it -- I've been there a couple times."
The chairman emphasized that in the long run, security alone isn't going to provide the sort of winning combination needed.
"It's got to be more than that," he said. "The surge continues to provide a window of opportunity there for the other areas that must be developed – economically and well as politically."
He said he is encouraged by the Iraqi parliament passing a bundle of laws concerning a fiscal 2008 budget, provincial elections and amnesty. "All that said, we've still got a long way to go (in Iraq)," he said. "It's fragile."
In Afghanistan, Mullen characterized progress as mixed.
"The insurgency is growing," he said, noting that the president's decision to send 3,200 Marines to the country beginning in March is an indication of the U.S. government's concern.
He said the NATO countries need to meet their commitments in Afghanistan, and that he supports Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates' efforts in that regard.
Mullen said he had a good visit with his Pakistani counterpart, Gen. Asfaq Kiyani, last week.
"What is clear to me is the sacrifices that the Pakistani army has made in fighting this war, and I very much appreciate their sacrifices and the relationship we have and we need to continue to nurture," Mullen said.
He said the Pakistanis now understand the danger from Islamic extremists and are working to establish a counterinsurgency effort in the country's federally administered tribal areas.
The chairman stressed that the military is only part of the solution in the war on terror.
"Part of the long, enduring conflict that we are in is going to be tied to winning the ideological war," he said. "I'm a big believer in engagement, (a) big believer in relationships."
Mullen also said he is "concerned about the toll of repeated deployments on the servicemembers and their families," he said, noting that many soldiers and Marines have served several combat tours of duty. "Both service chiefs are consistently concerned, as I am, about the brittleness of their families."
The military is at a delicate balance between the mission and the health of the force, the admiral said.
"I'm anxious to get out of 15-month deployments as soon as I can and get it down to 12 months," he said. "Fifteen months is too long. Part of it for me was I was in the military during Vietnam, when we did one-year tours and that was a long time."
Despite the challenges they tackle every day, Mullen said, the nation's servicemembers continue to perform well, though they could use a break.
"In meeting with the troops on the ground … they are incredibly good, they are very proud of what they are accomplishing, they are resilient, yet at the same time they are tired, particularly those on the second half of that very, very long deployment," he said.
The chairman said the United States is taking greater risks in other parts of the world to fight the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Part of my responsibility is to look around the world and see what we will be doing in the future," he said. He said the military needs to make sure it continues working on developing new capabilities, not just on being well-versed in current capacities.
Looking to the future, the chairman said, he worries about what happens after operations in Iraq and Afghanistan finish, noting that the ends of other wars led to drastic military downsizing, making it difficult to meet the next challenge that inevitably has arisen.
"What I worry about is any kind of peace dividend after Iraq and Afghanistan – whenever that might be," he said. "We've done that several times; it has always proven faulty. We've dug ourselves into a hole, and we've had to dig ourselves out."

The timing for this seems off, while OSU still has an interim president and is hopefully close to getting a new one. Why would you give someone under them a long-term deal like they are? It just doesn't seem right.

Mike and Mike might be interesting considering both of Golic's sons are team-mates. At least they will hopefully stop talking about Lance Armstrong.
It is amazing (and amusing) how all these "legitimate" media outlets were completely fooled and Deadspin got the real story.
To be fair both Holmgren and Belicheck failed there. I think there may be something in the water.
My opinion is that its just too bad that the Common Man is still on. I want to listen to sports during drive time, but with less anger.
Now I see pictures of Torg on the web, and I'm thinking - they did a lot of unfunny schtick about how ugly some women celebrities were. I always cringed at that, but dude, did you ever check out a mirror?
Also Torg thought he was a great reporter and would rant and rave about how bloggers didn't know anything even when he was getting totally scooped by said bloggers.
Unfortunately, it's harder to forget because it's a palindrome. Or maybe that's just me.
Geez, Alabama looks good, though.
That was a great game. Probably the only game I'm going to get to this year, and first ever for my friend who grew up in Columbus.
How about Jordan Hall making up for his fumble with the long return to put us in position?
I just hope the officials call offensive holding against Wisconsin. They were so blatant against Sparty, with no calls.
It made me laugh the way Musberger and Herby were talking about how MSU had "dominated" OSU too. I can kind of see it for the one side of the ball, but to me dominating does not mean trying to hand the game over to an opponent that is too incompetent to take it.
I can't get excited about OSU's chances for the B1G championship, unfortunately. OSU needs to beat Wisc and Penn St, hope for someone else to beat Penn St., hope for tie-breakers, and hope the NCAA doesn't bring the hammer. (I went there).
That's a lot of different things falling our way. If it ends up a 3 or more way tie, I don't think the tiebreakers are going our way.
Another example: Brian at MgoBlog not happy with the number of passes called by Michigan against Sparty:
Winning ugly is fine with me. OSU won, Michigan lost, I for one am going to enjoy.
Truly sad that [Name Redacted] is thought of as heading up a better coaching staff than ours.
Kind of funny how lots of other fan bases are fantasizing about hiring Tressel, while we dream about Urban, Jon, and Tony. Probably all about as realistic.
I voted someone else, two observations.
As an announcer, Gruden is horrible. He doesn't seem all that bright. He is supposedly an offensive guy but his Superbowl team was heavy on defense (carryover from Tony Dungy?).
Chris Peterson loves it in Boise (it's beautiful there, if you haven't been) and has been turning down offers left and right.
Maybe Patterson, but he has turned down a lot of offers, too.
Kirk Cousins had the privilege of throwing for 222 yards and a TD.
Very good! By the way, is Minnesota really better or is USC just pretty bad?
Wisconsin getting Russell Wilson was a big coup.
I would be nervous having a tattoo done in that part of town.
By the way, for some relief check out Devin Barclay's flowers.
I like what you did there with Coach Hazell's picture doing double duty, as it were!
Only two things to say:
- A win is a win, plus away from home, come from behind, against a ranked opponent. So it wasn't pretty - who cares?
- Beat Michigan!!
It is crazy after a game like that, but yeah. A good way to start Michigan week.
Can't they just run one more play and use the clock- punter running backwards or something?
Sad Clayborn - I like it!!!
