Nice Picture! (.)(.)
This is what the holidays are all about. The classiest and most successful franchise in sports continues to impress me. I will never have any qualms about dropping money on a wings jersey or anything with their logo on it for that matter.
Does this team remind anyone else of the Ohio State 2002 National Championship team. They win, but not by huge margins. Dantonio was a part of that team as well. Take a look at their season results....
Ohio State 45, Texas Tech 21
Ohio State 51, Kent State 17
Ohio State 25, Washington State 7
Ohio State 23, Cincinnati 19
Ohio State 45, Indiana 17
Ohio State 27, Northwestern 16
Ohio State 50, San Jose State 7
Ohio State 19, Wisconsin 14
Ohio State 13, Penn State 7
Ohio State 34, Minnesota 3
Ohio State 10, Purdue 6
Ohio State 23, Illinois 16 (overtime)
Ohio State 14, Michigan 9
Granted the point totals are higher for both opponents and the Spartans but the common denominator is Dantonio. This goes to show that a team that wins, wins....period.
Go State!
In response to Goldenroan1 aka. Tater, Savalot etc. You were doing the bragging before the game son. Here are your comments pregame:
"This is football-speak for "There is absolutely no way I could ever outplay Denard Robinson on my best day." Ironically, it doesn't even matter to Robinson. Robinson is the ultimate team player and leader, and he doesn't even look at his stats, nor does he care about individual matchups.
Michigan's defense is only allowing 22 yards more a game than Oklahoma's. They are allowing a lot of yards, but I don't see MSU's offense outscoring Michigan's offense. Michigan hasn't faced an offense as slow as MSU's yet, and MSU hasn't faced an offense as fast as Michigan's yet.
Sparty will keep it close enough to whine about how they should have won, but Michigan will win this game.
It's funny how the media are always writing about Sparty's "revival." Sparty has been "revived" more than a CPR dummy. Ultimately, though, Michigan always puts the CPR dummy back in its box, where it is brought out and "revived" for the next class. Gee: I guess I can't say Sparty doesn't have "class" anymore.
Careful what you ask for, Sparty. Michigan was "eager" to face speedy Dennis Dixon a few years ago. I would say the results should be close to the same this time around.
There isn't a DL or LB alive who can stop Denard Robinson. I hope Jones spies on him the entire game, making it an 11 on 9 scenario counting the DEor SSLB on the scrape."
Person A gets makes poor choice at age of 21 and gets DUI in state of Michigan, loses license, pays fines and ridiculous DRF, loses job because of losing license, State loses revenue on jobless person they cant tax, state pays jobless person unemployment or food stamps (sometimes).
Person A realizes he can obtain drivers license and better job in different state and moves out of state taking his tax revenue with him and the state of michigan loses the ability to pay the salary for the police officer that made the arrest. Person A's way of getting back at the corrupt police in Michigan.
"but if they can't even fill Ford Field, they have no reason to complain about anyone's fanbase."
(see FINAL FOUR 2009)
When you sell out Ford Field for a BASKETBALL GAME start chirping.
Tater Pwned.
But check out his sweet website:
Tater a massage therapist from Clearwater, Florida who lives in his mothers trailer and obsesses over MSU. Creating false realities that "take place" on campus in East Lansing....beyond pathetic
This should help his players and recruits knowing he will no longer entertain nba offers.
All MSU fans got a great W today as he will be a large part of MSU athletics long after his coaching career.
"Then, of course, there is that little matter of whether or not a federal investigation determines that Zach Randolph's documented pattern of behavior extends back to his days in EL and whether or not he or any other team member recieved "improper benefits" in the form of money or "consumables" during Randolph's "career" at MSU."
What kind of delusioned reality do you live in? Nevermind that Randolph only played for 1 year at MSU. You are taking a college rivalry and creating your own distorted reality...none of the aformentioned things are even taking place nore were there any red flags ever...period.
Pathetic does not begin to describe your obsession, you need help...
Awwww little tater in is moms trailer...
You must be referring to Ed Martin, heres a link so you can brush up:
"Posted by spartyno
April 22, 2010, 3:23AM"
Tater, I know your bitter because you didnt get accepted into either school and now work a 3rd shift job. Its ok little buddy theres plenty of room on the UM bandwagon but the problem is the majority of real UM fans despise you.
Your website is great by the way. The MS paint is right on par with me imagining you in your moms trailer eating cookie dough ice cream wearing a Forcier jersey and watching jerry springer.
http://midnightmaize.blogspot.com/ for LULZ
Does anyone have a link to a webcast of this game?
I'm interested to see if they support a 3-4 front in certain situations with Gholston as a standup LB. I wonder where he was drafted by the players....
Also I'm really looking forward to the Sept 18th matchup against Notre Dame at home. It should be interesting to see what Brian Kelly has done with the Irish. Also I like that Wisco is coming to Spartan stadium this year, should be an exciting season!
While you are right on point coachwandel...lol you are missing the big picture that Tater is jealous he didnt go to college.
All McDonalds and Burger King franchise owners make more $$$ than you do.
Way to talk like a 7 figure UM booster when you in fact work 3rd shift.
Nice website btw, always a fan of MS PAINT.
You are a joke personally, professionally and as a UM fan bc they despise you as well.
Hey Tatertot remember this comment you made
"MSU won't make the second weekend this year. We'll see if that's enough to make Izzo finally listen when the NBA comes knocking on his door.
MSU lucked into the title game last year, but couldn't close the sale; they should have "made hay while the sun was shining." I think Izzo and Misdemeanor State's window of opportunity might be closed for awhile now. I don't really see enough talent there to make a Final Four run for awhile.
Maybe Misdemeanor State can turn back into Mediocre State now"
Hows that crow taste?
small minded remyhamilton is small minded
What is this blog? You GD UM homer stop giving BS updates and report on the game.

I've been dual booting using bootcamp with osx and xp for 18 months and it's been great. I don't want to have to go back any steps, I just want to have the option to boot vista on startup. I partitioned 32gb for xp using bootcamp when I first set it all up - would I have to partition this again in windows and run vista from that, or can I use a partition from another drive (does bootcamp allow me to partition another drive to run another os?). I imagine it would work fine if I installed it on a new partition of the bootcamp partitioned 32gb, but that drive is then getting a bit tight for space.
I've read plenty of reports of people booting all 3 os's, but their descriptions all seem to start from the beginning (downloading bootcamp, etc...)
any ideas?

All you should have to do is create another partition using Disk Utility, and then boot from you install CD by holding C (I think that's the key) when you boot your computer. I've never done it myself, but I'm guessing from there the install should be just like it is with Bootcamp where you choose your partition to install and you're all set.

Personally, I'd suggest downloading a 30-day trial of Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Vista will let you run for 30 days without a valid key, so you can try it that way without much effort. If you then decide that it's worth keeping, then you can go about obtaining a proper license. Not a bad deal if you're just going to try it. Especially if you're going to join the masses and delete it afterwards.

Kathleen A. Carney, principal of Herkimer Elementary School in the Herkimer Central School District, has been selected as the 2013 New York State Elementary School Principal of the Year by the School Administrators Association of New York State.
Kathleen A. Carney, principal of Herkimer Elementary School in the Herkimer Central School District, has been selected as the 2013 New York State Elementary School Principal of the Year by the School Administrators Association of New York State.
This award is given annually to a member of SAANYS and the National Association of Elementary School Principals who has set the pace, character, and quality of education for the children in his or her school. Nominees are administrators who are committed to students, parents, and the community and have shown exceptional contributions to the educational process.
Carney has served as an educator with Herkimer for 20 years and has been an elementary-level administrator in her current position for ll years. Herkimer Elementary is a Pre-K-6 suburban school with an enrollment of nearly 700 students. Carney previously served as an elementary teacher in Herkimer and played a significant role in Herkimer Elementary being named a "High Performing/Gap Closing" school under the No Child Left Behind Act in 2003-04, 2005-06, and 2006-07. She is a strong advocate for universal preK, early interventions, and the sustainability of these programs despite fiscal belt-tightening.
As evidenced in a letter of support regarding Carney's nomination, she is admired and respected in her school, her district, and in the community. The letter stated, in part, "As a principal, she understands and practices the meaning of 'paying it forward.' She has mentored teachers as they did their administrative internships and many of them are now successful principals, having had the beneñt of Kathy's tutelage and experience. . . . In 2007, Kathy was recognized as a Herkimer County Cares Asset Builder for all of her good Works, both in and out of the school."
Asked about how she supports learners who are struggling, challenges learners who are excelling, and maintains high standards for all, Carney stated, "It is important that as a principal, I support the broadening of a child's development, not just in academics, but beyond. It is important to understand the whole child and acknowledge students for the small accomplishments so they gain the confidence and risk-taking abilities to expand their horizons."
Carney is an active member of several professional and community associations and organizations including PTA, the American Youth Soccer Organization, Ride for Missing and Exploited Children, Miles for Missy, and the Relay for Life Team Herkimer. Carney will be honored for her accomplishments at an awards ceremony on May 10 at the Century House in Latham, New York.
As New York's Elementary School Principal of the Year, Carney will be celebrated as a National Distinguished Principal by the National Association of Elementary School Principals at a recognition program sponsored by NAESP and VALIC this fall in Washington, DC.

'The College Burglar' strikes again - serial thief Michael Janes caught on camera in series of raids on Cambridge University
Posted: November 19, 2013|
A serial thief nicknamed 'The College Burglar' by detectives has now clocked up more than 40 convictions after being caught on camera up to his old tricks.
Michael Janes, 36, of Victoria Road, was jailed yesterday just two days after being caught on CCTV at the scene of a string of break-ins.
Janes ransacked four colleges, a student accommodation and a car park in Cambridge looking for money.
He forced his way into Churchill College, St Catharine's College and St Edmund's College getting away with hundreds of pounds from cash boxes between November 13 and 16, but he was caught on CCTV and identified by officers.
Janes had also targeted student accommodation on Tennis Court Road and tried to help himself to cash from a parking machine in Park Street on November 15.
And the bungling burglar tried to break into the bar area at Gonville and Caius College on the same day, but was unsuccessful.
But Janes, who has 43 previous convictions, including theft, was captured on CCTV amid the Cambridgeshire force's Get Closer burglary month campaign targeting the invasive crime.
Officers identified him and he was arrested on Saturday. He pleaded guilty to five non-dwelling burglaries and one attempted theft from meter and was jailed for a total of 50 weeks at Cambridge Magistrates' Court yesterday.
Detective Constable Andy Day said: "Janes is a prolific burglar who targeted college establishments and caused a lot of damage and distress.
"I hope this sentence demonstrates the serious consequences of burglary and I am pleased that we were able to bring him to justice."
In 2008 Janes was jailed for 18 months after he was tackled by a porter at Trinity College and held until police arrived.
The porter, David Page, was alerted to a silent alarm in his office and confronted raider Janes over why he was at the college offices after hours.
Janes - a professional burglar who has been breaking into university and college premises for years to steal to pay for his drug habit - bit Mr Page's hand and received a punch to the head in reply.
In 2004 Janes, received an 18-month sentence for raids on offices at Cambridge's Linnet House and Millcroft Court.

Shrimp and Grits - can I partially precook any part of the dish?
I've been assigned shrimp and grits as my contribution to a small plates Mardi Gras party on Saturday. I'd appreciate suggestions on how/how much to prepare at home, and then finish and plate at the party about 2 to 3 hours later. (I'm leaning toward tweaking a Tyler Florence recipe, but haven't committed yet.)

HTC Kingdom and HTC Rider leak: Euro EVO 3D?
Two unannounced HTC Android smartphones have leaked, the HTC Kingdom (left) and HTC Rider (right). Caught in the wild by 911Sniper (here and here), the two handsets look physically similar, but the Kingdom has a qHD, 960 x 540 display; both phones appear to have a front-facing camera, and it's suggested that at least one could be the GSM version of the HTC EVO 3D.

April 2, 2013
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - U.S. Sen. Bob Casey says he now supports gay marriage, making him the latest lawmaker to change positions on an issue now before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Casey says he made the shift after reviewing the legal, public policy and civil rights questions involved.
In November, as he successfully sought a second term, Casey said he favored same-sex civil unions but did not take a position on same-sex marriage. He previously has voted to let gays and lesbians serve openly in the military and to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
Casey is a Roman Catholic from Scranton and opposes abortion rights, except in cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is in danger.
Several other Democratic senators also recently announced they favor gay marriage.

The Illinois corn harvest is defying the calendar. In some cases, it's running up to three weeks early. But farmers are expecting to bring in less corn.
As a combine cuts through rows of corn at Rob Elliott's farm outside of Monmouth, the fall ritual is starting early. That's after a rough beginning to the growing season.
"It was just too wet," he recalled. "That put corn under stress."
So while the harvest is on, don't expect a bumper crop here.
"We've been blessed in this area the last couple of years with very high yields," he said. "This year, we'll be back below average probably."
These are lessons for visiting farmers as they ride through the Monsanto Agronomy Center. Cotton farmers are learning about corn growing techniques, and they seem to be sharing regional similarities when it comes to the weather.
"It's brought the corn harvest about early, and it also did that in our area with cotton," said Stacy Smith, a farmer from Wilson, Texas. "Interesting that it has the same effect on both crops."
Farmers have already harvested about a quarter of the corn crop in central and eastern Illinois. That's well above the five year average and certainly topping the late harvest in 2009.
Above normal temperatures are advancing the harvest season. It's true in Illinois and North Carolina.
"There was just so much heat and sunlight this year that it pushed everything along by two to three weeks," said Gary Respess, a farmer from Pantego, North Carolina.
Back at Rob Elliott's farm, he's bracing for a hit.
"When we're talking $3 or $4 bushels of corn — when you're off by 30 or 40 bushels an acre, in some cases, there's certainly a financial impact," he said.
It's an impact shaping this early harvest as the combine continues its yearly ritual.

A little while back I did a series of posts about Christian Hoover of Heidelberg Township, York County, including a transcript of his inventory and the clues—or lack thereof—found in his wife's probate file. Yesterday while researching the estate of Henry Küny (aka Keuny, Kuny, Kiny, Keiny, Keny), presumably the husband of Christian's sister Ann, I came up with a new theory.
Let's start with Christian's will. In it he states: "and whereas Johannes Keny son of my Sister Ann is Justly indebted to me in the Sum of Nine Pounds Ten shillings it is my Will that he pay unto my Executrix the Sum of six Pounds part there of and unto his Brother Henry Keny the sum of one pound fifteen shillings also part thereof and the remaining Sum of one pound fifteen shillings I do bestow unto himself."1
Christian does not name his sister's husband, just her sons Johannes and Henry. Information I found online named Henry Keuny of Germany Township as the husband of Ann Huber. And indeed this Henry had a wife named Ann and sons named Johannes and Henry.2 Seems like a match, right?
And here's the rub. At an Orphans Court on 26 Mar 1782, Ann Keiny petitioned the court for guardians for her children "John Keiny aged thirteen and upwards and Anna aged nine years and upwards and Henry aged seven years and upwards, and Barbara aged four years and upwards, and Jacob aged about eleven months."3 John, son of Henry and Ann Keuny, would have been three years old in 1771 when Christian wrote his will; their son Henry wouldn't have been born yet! How can a three year old be indebted to his uncle? And was Christian a psychic to know Ann would have a son named Henry about four years after his death?
The answer, of course, is that it's not really possible that Christian was referring to the children of Henry Küny of Germany Township in his will. Here's where my eureka moment comes in. I believe that Christian was referring to Henry Küny of Germany Township as his sister's son in his will. So, where's Henry's brother, Johannes Küny?
John Küny of Germany Township was named guardian of Henry and Anna Küny's children Magdalena, John, Anna, Henry, Barbara, and Jacob. So, there was both a Henry Küny and a John Küny, most likely a relative and quite possibly his brother, living in Germany Township. Both John and Henry Kiny are listed in the 1779 and 1780 tax lists for Germany Township.4 Henry Küny died in 1781 and only John Kenney and the Widow Kenney are listed in the 1781 tax list for Germany Township.5
At an Orphans Court on 30 Nov 1790, "Henry Keeny aged fifteen years and upwards" petitioned the court for a new guardian, as did "Henry Danner, Executor of the Last Will and Testament of John Keeny deceased," on behalf of Barbara and Jacob Keeny.6 So, John Küny died in 1790.
A search of the Pennsylvania probate records on FamilySearch.org shows John Küny of Germany Township wrote his last will and testament on 16 Jan 1790. It was proven on 4 Jun 1790. It named his wife Anna, only daughter Anna, wife of Adam Gissler, granddaughter Magdalena Gissler, grandson John Gissler, and niece and nephew, Barbara and Jacob Küny, children of his brother Henry.7 Henry Danner and John Kehr were named as his executors. The will was witnessed by George Miller, John Thomas and John Summer.
So, Henry and John Küny of Germany Township were, in fact, brothers. What else can we learn about them?
John Küny (as Kieny) warranted a tract of land containing 100 acres in Germany Township on 16 Jun 1763 and a tract of 50 acres on 30 Apr 1765.8 The tracts were surveyed on 10 Aug 1765.9 This means that John was in York County by Jun 1763 at the latest. I found no warrants or patents for Henry Küny though the tax lists indicate he owned 100 acres in Germany Township.
A Johannes Küny arrived in Philadelphia aboard the ship Brothers on 30 Sep 1754.10 Also onboard were a Jacob Huber and a Christian Huber—relatives, perhaps?11 A Henrich Küny arrived aboard the ship Myrtilla on 21 Sep 1765.12
What does this mean for researching Christian Huber? To be entirely honest, I'm not exactly sure. I believe it makes it more likely that Christian—and apparently his brothers, too—were immigrants, not first-generation Americans. Although that's always a possibility in colonial research, 1749 is late enough that Christian's parents might have been early immigrants.
Since Johannes and Henry Küny were presumably immigrants, born in Europe, finding their parents in Europe may also provide the location of Christian Huber's birth. That, in turn, may provide additional information on his brothers that helps me to identify them in Pennsylvania. At least, that's what I'm hoping.

Gwel an Mor bring home a national award for Cornwall
Posted: June 14, 2012|
The highest accolade in English tourism has been awarded to Gwel an Mor, the 5 star holiday resort from Portreath. The self-catering resort were bestowed with the title of the UK's best Holiday Village in the prestigious VisitEngland Awards for Excellence 2012.
A team representing the resort traveled to Leicester for the lavish ceremony which was held in the stunning art-deco Athena venue in Leicester on 22nd May. The 34 Gold and Silver winners were selected from a shortlist of 69 finalists, judged by a panel of tourism industry experts including VisitEngland Board Member David Orr and travel broadcaster Alison Rice.
The Gwel an Mor resort was highly praised for the exceptional quality of the resort and facilities provided, high levels of customer care service and very friendly staff. The ongoing improvement and evolution of the resort were also highly commended with special mention of the latest luxury development, The Residence, now providing guests with the opportunity to own their own piece of Gwel an Mor. The judges also commented on the resort's wildlife and conservation programme, Feadon Farm, noting this as a 'highlight' where "passionate and knowledgable staff offer a range of activities enoyed by most visitors".
"I am very proud of the achievement not only for GwelanMor, but for Cornwall too. It is great to be recognised for what we do to a national level and especially to be associated with the word "excellence". This demonstrates that hard work, passion and determination pays off and I am very grateful to be part of such a dedicated team. This type of achievement would not be possible without the support of our staff of course but also the trust that Mr Bill Haslam, Owner of GwelanMor has in all of us" commented Nico Descotes, General Manager at Gwel an Mor.
With a 20 plus year history, the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence recognise businesses that incorporate best practice throughout their operation and also celebrate the very best quality and innovation, helping to raise standards across the industry and secure England's - and now Cornwall's - place as a world-class holiday destination.
Bill Haslam, Managing Director at Gwel an Mor, said: "We are delighted that Gwel an Mor has been recognised with the VisitEngland award for excellence, a truly impressive national award with some immense competition. Winning the title of England's best Holiday Village is an amazing and well deserved achievement and I am so proud of our dedicated staff who have really earned this award. With the Olympics and Jubilee this is a great year to win, with all eyes on Britain and now the focus is on our own little picturesque piece of Cornwall"
This national award has now been added to the many other accolades the resort has achieved in the past and once again brings a surge of pride to the Cornish tourism industry proving yet again, our county is leads the way.

So I'm not going to talk about the Oscars. They kind of bore me. I think the only one I ever really liked was when that guy streaked across the stage back in the 70's.
Since you've been hearing so much from everybody on the Marketing end of the team, I think it's time to bring you up to speed on the programming side. We have our films and although I've only watched about 1/3 of them, I can definitely say that this year's fest is going to be the best yet (and I've been attending for quite a few years now). There are so many films touching on many different subjects, I know that I am going to have a hard time picking which ones to see. But hang on! Announcements are coming in March so keep on checking our website and blog for all of that fun information!
In other news, I just interviewed Less Than Jake for a local magazine I write for and I do not think I've ever had such a scattered interview. I think we spoke about their music for a total of three minutes but touched on everything from emocore kids to double chocolate ice cream to Australia (where they were at the time) to wrestling, amongst other things. Hopefully I'll be able to have a lot of fun interviews like that during the Festival on WPRK 91.5fm, an amazingly awesome college radio station in Orlando and one that I've been DJing at for four years.
So, as you're anxiously awaiting the FFF schedule to be posted, keep on coming back to this blog for more exciting updates, add us as friends on Facebook and MySpace, and check out our new commercial posted on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUB5UScfbas)!

Michigan football practice was delayed nearly two hours late this morning after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. Head coach Rich Rodriguez immediately suspended practice while police and federal agents were called to investigate. After a complete analysis, FBIspecial agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again. forensic experts determined that the white substance, unknown to the players, was the goal line. Practice was resumed this afternoon after.
Hey, Give RR some credit. He will land in the UM record books this year for uhhhh something to do with 33 straight years
BlueCT wrote
"The thing I find most problematic about RR's offense is the everybody-look-over-to-the-sideline-to-see-if-the play-has-changed thing."
That was what actually helped WVU's offense spark against Auburn last thur. RR started that and it actually allows the offense to determine the play after the defense is set. WVU went away from it when RR left and went back to it last thurs.
Ron English is doing a great job at Louisville this year. Their defense was pathetic last year and is the # 5 Rush Defense.
RR shouldn't have canned him but he thought Jeff Casteel would come with him to UM. He said no thanks I will stay at WVU.
What RR is probably thinking:
"But hey, the great news is that I finally got my contract signed before that happen and UM is locked in for 6 years. Even more amazing is that I got that pesky buyout clause changed. Sure it is still for $4 million, but it doesn't drop off after the first year. In fact it doesn't drop off until after 3 years.
Imagine that, 2 wins, on course to set the all time UM record for losses in a single season, (which stands at 7) and I get a deal like this. Man, what a country!!"
It took RR 8 months to sign his last contract at WVU in 2007. Why 10 months at UM?? Thought he had "The Best Job In College Football"?
Whatever happened to "I see UM going 9-3, maybe 8-4 at worst?"
Or "We will win on defense" or "RR has way more talent it UM to start out with than he did at WVU"
Is Rita going househunting??
Rich Rodriguez agent Mike Brown contacted by Clemson!!!!!!
First Newsome now Cambell
Sooner or later the RR Kool-Aid turns sour
Instead of going 12-0 or 11-1 I would love it to see WVU have a down year and go 8-4 or 9-3 ONLY if UM were to have the same record and play WVU in a bowl this year.
Because if a WVU fan posts opinions or information about UM's coach and coach ONLY, that person is subject to ridicule as well as the state they are from.
A lot of "Trolls" have posted comments about RR on here. NOT the UM program or state of Michigan. In turn they received personal insults. Now I know why everyone I met from Michigan while serving in the military was obnoxious. Before I thougth it was just coincidence.
I will have to do that. I will check back and see how much you guys like RR after he is 0-4 against Ohio State. RR would have sold his soul to get Pryor and you will find out why.
Yes I read it all but didn't think the comments centered around Coach Stew would matter to UM fans, only the comments that pertained to the current UM coach from his former players.
Not just the kicker. Star players. From Pat White:
"A few weeks before Coach Rodriguez left, Coach Stewart and one of the former assistants (who ended up leaving for Michigan) got into at practice," White said. "He and the other coach were really going at it. The main thing I remember is that all of the players gathered around Coach Stew. We had his back and not the other coach.
"That said a lot about what this team thinks of him."
Not just the kicker. I am sure you didn't read all of it.
"We used to dread coming to the stadium," McAfee said. "It's amazing how well we did the past couple of years considering how many guys we had that hated football.
"There were all-stars on our team who absolutely hated coming to the stadium every day."
McAfee smiled.
"Now," he said, "everyone is genuinely happy to be here."
The article has a lot to do with UM's current coach if you read it. I was just posting information written about UM's coach on a UM board.
C'Mon Guy. That was kinda classless. You make the WVU fans look bad posting things like that. Hopefully you are an OSU fan hiding behind that screen name.
Hope Brock Mealer recovers fully.
Whats up with David Mayo? This can not be true. Ridiculous 4M buyout? The same amount RR insisted on and got at UM? Mayo sounds like a jilted lover to me. Stop saying bad things about RR! They can not be true. Can they?

August 5, 2015
The number of people seeking unemployment benefits fell by 12,000 last week, a hopeful signal that the job market may be improving.
The Labor Department says applications declined to a seasonally adjusted 365,000. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, ticked up to 371,250.
Weekly applications are a measure of the pace of layoffs. When they consistently fall below 375,000, it suggests that hiring is strong enough to lower the unemployment rate.
The drop likely won't affect the August jobs report, set to be released Friday. The data for that report were compiled three weeks ago. But it could signal better hiring in September.
Economists forecast that employers added 135,000 jobs last month, below July's gain of 163,000. The unemployment rate is expected to remain 8.3 percent.

Women and Weight Training: Countering Myths and Misperceptions
I think I may have posted this before, can't remember for sure, but it's so good that I'm gonna go ahead and post it again. I got this off another bodybuilding board which a member got from somewhere else. It's an abridged version of the original article.
Women and Weight Training: Countering Myths and Misperceptions
Richard A. Winett, Ph. D.
Because most women have no interest in becoming big and muscular, women believe their training programs should be quite different from men's programs.
From this key concern -- becoming too big -- a number of myths and misperceptions have evolved about women's weight training. Such myths and misperceptions have kept many women from weight training or training with any degree of effectiveness. Most women are, unfortunately, not doing the one activity -- weight training -- that can truly shape their bodies in a highly attractive way, greatly improve their health now and in the future, and markedly improve strength.
This article counters myths and misperceptions about women and weight training and makes the case that in most instances the training programs for women and men will be virtually identical.
Moreover, the principles of training governing these programs are the same. There are not separate training principles for women and men because training principles are universal.
Let's first examine a number of these myths and misperceptions and then provide principles and prescriptions for successful training applicable to both men and women.
Myths: The chief concern of women is that by weight training they will become big, muscular, and highly defined. This is a myth and misperception because few individuals of either sex have the genetic endowment to develop a large, defined musculature.
Women and men possessing these characteristics seem to be more the norm today only because bodybuilding for women and men has become more popular and, hence, visible in print and electronic media.
A safe bet is only several women out of 10,000 could ever develop the appearance of a top bodybuilder. Unless a woman reading this article is one of those several out of 10,000, becoming too big and muscular is not a concern of the other 9,996 women!
Taking a quite different tack, many women believe they are incapable of gaining much strength and thus restrict themselves to using light weights, high repetitions, and high sets. There also may be a fear of injury if heavier weights are used.
Many women cannot lift as much weight or move as much resistance as men simply because women tend to have less lean body mass than men and few women have trained seriously for any length of time.
Actually, on a basis of lean body mass, many women are capable of proportionally becoming as strong as many men. Thus, Jane may have 100 lbs of lean body mass at a total body weight of 125 lbs and do squats with 150 lbs. John may have 170 lbs of lean body mass at a total body weight of 200 lbs and do squats with 255 lbs. The proportion of weight used in the squat to lean body mass (1.5 to 1.00) is the same. Both Jane and John will profit from the same program based on the same principles, and neither will risk injury if they train correctly.
In this example, notice that Jane at 125 lbs is still not a large person. She is very unlikely to develop large legs even by being able to squat 10 to times with 100 lbs because the genetic traits necessary for developing large muscle are exceedingly rare.
Based both on the fear of getting too big -- which is an unreasoned fear -- and the quite contrary belief that women can't get very strong, many women adopt a training program revolving around the notion of "toning" plus a large amount of aerobic training.
The purpose of this regime is presumably to remain "small", keep weight under control, and maintain a "fit and feminine appearance". Thus, another myth and misperception is that toning and large amounts of aerobics are the smart training choices for women. Let's see why this is, indeed, a misperception.
Toning is a term that has no scientific basis. It is not a term that appears in exercise physiology books. It's a made-up term. But what does toning mean in popular parlance? The term implies using light weights or other resistance presumably to derive some small muscular effect -- for strength and appearance. With toning, the idea seems to be not to put forth much effort (intensity) but to do a great deal of work (volume) -- many sets, many repetitions.
It's been known for at least 50 years that this is an ineffective training method. Here's why.
According to the well-established size principle, muscle fibers are recruited -- this means the order they "fire" or work - based on the intensity of effort. Smaller slow-twitch fibers will be recruited for lower-intensity efforts, while more and other fast-twitch fibers are only recruited with higher- intensity efforts.
Simply put, lower-intensity toning does not effectively work the muscles. But what about doing many repetitions and many sets? Such training practices are not only ineffective, they are a total waste of time. They wear you out and give you nothing in return.
Intensity: As soon as the word "intensity" is introduced, most women become intimidated and turned off because they equate the term with using a great deal of weight or other resistance, something they fear or see on an absolute basis they can't do as well as most men. Intensity, however, does not signify any specific weight or resistance or, for that matter, a specific number of repetitions. The weight or resistance used is relative to the strength of each individual, and the specific number of repetitions used is somewhat arbitrary.
Intensity does mean the degree of effort you are putting forth at a given time. The surest way to effective weight training for women or men is training with high intensity in a progressive manner.
Let's see exactly what this means by focusing on only one specific muscle, the biceps. The most basic exercise movement for the biceps is the curl, which can be done with a barbell, dumbbell, or machine. In our example, you can properly curl 25 lbs for 5 slower repetitions. This means you curl the weight up ("concentric" part of the movement) in about 6 to 8 seconds with no momentum, pause for a second, and slowly lower ("eccentric" part) the bar in 3 or 4 seconds for each repetition. Thus, each repetition will take between 9 to 12 seconds and the total time for the set is about 45 to 60 seconds. You can no longer move the bar in proper form after the fifth repetition; you "fail" at that repetition. This is a very high-intensity set because at the fifth repetition you are working with maximum effort.
It is the maximum effort and then just slightly exceeding yourself next time that provides your muscles -- in this case your biceps -- with the correct training stimulus.
What if you just stopped at four repetitions? Since you are capable of five good repetitions, the four-repetition set does not provide the appropriate stimulus. What about doing what many women do in their routines, perform five sets with 15 lbs for 10 repetitions each? Again, you have not provided the correct stimulus because these sets are merely submaximal duplications of themselves.
With high-intensity, progressive training, your task next time is to try to do another repetition in good form with 25 lbs, i.e., 25 x 6. You would have progressed on repetitions. Four to six slower repetitions in a movement is a good goal. Once you have reached your repetition goal, for the next workout, you would slightly increase the weight, e.g., to 27 lbs. Chances are you will only be able to do four repetitions with this added weight, so you begin the progression toward six repetitions which will take an additional set of workouts. The process is called the double progression system because you attempt to increase either repetitions or weight in each successive workout. It's a basic universal principle of weight training that applies to everyone, women and men.
Now here's a point women (and men) should really love. Progressive high-intensity training is so effective you cannot do many high-intensity sets (volume), and you cannot train very often (frequency). High-intensity -- the effective way to train -- is incompatible with high volume (doing a lot of sets) and high frequency. In training, more is not better; it's usually worse. Train purposefully and hard and then rest and recover.
You may at first be incredulous about the specific example shown here; but once you understand and apply the principles of high-intensity training, you will be incredulous no longer.
Example: The toning program for biceps (and this is just one simple muscle) is one you may find in many training articles and books for women. The beginner and advanced programs take a good deal of time, and it's got to be boring repeating the same exercise over and over. The high-intensity biceps program takes only a few minutes per week and less for the advanced training. The reason for the further reduction in sets (volume) and workouts (frequency) is that more advanced trainers -- women and men -- can bring greater focus and intensity to their exercise so they need less work (volume) and more time for recovery (less frequent training).
Still incredulous? Keep this main idea in mind. The high-volume toning approach does not properly train muscles. It's a waste of time and energy. The very brief, high-intensity approach provides the necessary stimulus for strength and muscle increases. Once the stimulus has been provided by your efforts, no more exercise is required. Additional exercise is unnecessary. It's not a question of how much exercise you can possibly tolerate but exactly what is the correct dose of exercise that is required to make improvements in strength and muscle mass.
Body Composition: Women who slowly and modestly gain more muscle will change their body composition. Such women will have more lean body mass and less fat. If you're one of these women, you'll look a lot better. Now here's another key point, and it's closely related to the fear of getting too big. Muscle weighs more than fat. Training will strengthen and reshape a woman's body, and she may weigh slightly more than before she started training.
However, the scale weight is not nearly as significant as a woman's body composition. Indeed, an untrained or improperly trained woman weighing 130 lbs may be 30% body fat, almost 40 lbs of fat. The same properly trained woman may weigh 132 lbs but with only 20% body fat, and she'll look terrific!
Women who are effectively training should not simply depend on the scale. If you need to have your progress quantified, aside from the increase in strength you'll be showing, consider having body fat measurements done every month or so. That's where you'll notice some meaningful difference.
Aerobic Training: Now, what about aerobic training? Shouldn't women who want to lose weight and body fat do many hours per week of lower- or moderate-intensity aerobic training? This is another myth and misperception that needs to be countered. Here are the reasons. The rate of "burning" calories in lower-intensity aerobics is, indeed, low. Even if your goal was simply to expend calories, this isn't a great way to do it. For example, to expend several hundred calories in lower-intensity aerobics, you may have to do a 90-minute workout. Is that how you want to spend your time?
Such lower-intensity aerobic training does virtually nothing for your cardiovascular fitness. Intensity in cardiovascular workouts just as in weight training is the key. Intensity in cardiovascular training is defined in terms of the percent maximum oxygen consumption or for convenience sake the percent of your maximal heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is approximated by the formula of 220 minus your age.
So a conditioned 40- year-old woman could have a maximum heart rate of 180 beats per minutes, perhaps a bit higher if she was in really good condition. Cardiovascular workouts at 50-60% of your maximum heart rate just do not do much for cardiovascular fitness, and the rate of caloric expenditure is low. There's no reason why such aerobic training should be at the "heart" of any woman's or man's program. Such lower to moderate activity could be, however, a peripheral, optional part of the program, particularly if outside of exercise time life is pretty sedentary. It's only recently that work and day to day living has required so little activity so doing some activity each day can have some real health and mental health benefits. This will be discussed later.
Safely and progressively training at 75-85% and occasionally 90% of your maximum heart rate can do a great deal to increase a woman's fitness, and the rate of caloric expenditure is high. Moreover, it appears interval-type higher-intensity training, that you can do on any machine or is the basis of many step and other classes, is an excellent way to become fitter. Another way to do interval training is simply to intersperse walking up steps or hills or simply walking faster for 30 seconds to two minutes during more moderate steady state walking.
There's also some evidence that performing higher-intensity aerobic interval training results in more fat "burning" (oxidation) after the training session than the more usual steady state training. This is because higher intensity weight training or interval training creates a real disruption to the metabolism. It takes time after training, hours, to return to a more balanced state. The entire process requires more calories. So you get great fitness, a high rate of caloric expenditure, and "fat burning" in one workout.
Here again are some points women and men will love. If you build more muscle mass, even modestly so, you will modestly but meaningfully increase your resting metabolic rate. This means you expend more calories all the time. So, coupling effective weight training with interval training is a sure-fire way to change body composition.
Keep this in mind. There is no requirement of every-day aerobics. Moreover, just as with weight training, volume isn't important. There's very little evidence that doing longer aerobic training in any way increases cardiovascular fitness. It's intensity that counts.
Forget once again the myth and misperception that more is better. Performing countless hours of lower-intensity aerobics will not melt away fat or "reshape" a woman's body. What it will do is waste a good deal of time and lead to terminal boredom.
Re: Women and Weight Training: Countering Myths and Misperceptions
Oooops! Well Krypto, I had read your other three push-pin notes - but not this one until now. So much for the getting tone and losing fat statement in my last post on Calorie Intake?. This definitely gets me motivated to get my lifting form down so I can start lifting heavier weights.
I have been using my heart rate monitor for my cardio sessions so I can keep my HR between 70% - 85% (30 - 45 mins). Is two - three times of high intensity cardio per week enough??? And, can I do it on days that I lift (afterwards)? I am just freakin out ahead of time because I know when school starts up it is going to get crazy (and I get tired) BUT I really want to get a good routine going for me.
I know I kinda posted this question already - but it is what I am thinking about all of the time. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

International donors have pledged over $600 million (438 million euros) for emergency aid to South Sudan at a donor conference in Oslo, in a bid to avert a famine.
Delegates of 40 countries and 50 international organizations attended a donor conference to raise emergency humanitarian aid for South Sudan. By the end of the conference on Tuesday (20.05.2014), more than $600 million (438 million euros) had been raised. "This figure represents just about a doubling of the available funds for the humanitarian crisis in South Sudan," Norwegian Foreign Minister Boerge Brende said.
Before the gathering began, the United Nations had pinned a price tag of $1.3 billion on donor conference. Of the $1.8 billion needed, only $536 million had been secured. The sum now pledged at the close of the conference is in addition to the 536 million, but falls far short what the UN said was required.
Norway, the host of the conference, had advanced $63 million ahead of the conference. "We fear that the crisis will worsen significantly in the coming months," the country's foreign minister Boerge Brende said in a statement on Monday (19.05.2014)
The situation is worsening by the day
As the conference kicked off, the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) warned that this year alone up to 50,000 children were at risk of dying from malnutrition. This would further raise the death toll in the country after thousands of people have already died in the fighting between President Salva Kiir's camp and that of his former deputy turned rebel leader, Riek Machar. In addition, Cholera was spreading rapidly in the overcrowded refugee camps, the UN organization said.
In the capital Juba alone, more than 30,000 people have been packed into completely overcrowded UN refugee camps with catastrophic sanitary conditions. On Monday, the aid organization CARE published a distressing report about the rapid increase of sexual violence against women and girls in South Sudan, who were being abused and killed by both parties to the conflict.
Aid agencies estimate that there are already a quarter of a million children suffering from malnutrition in South Sudan
Earlier, the European Union warned that there would be a risk of famine in the second half of the year. International relief organizations are trying to make sure that food reaches the country by autumn. The European Community Humanitarian Office (ECHO) estimates that 7.3 million people could go hungry as early as August.
Because of the rainy season, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) wants to organize an airlift, modeled on Operation Lifeline Sudan. From 1989 to 2005, at the height of the fighting between northern and southern Sudan, basic foodstuffs were dropped from the air.
A new Africa policy, but, please, not in South Sudan
While the EU has frozen 80 million euros in financial aid because of a "crass" misuse of oil revenues and is considering imposing sanctions on the warmongers, an initiative by Christoph Strässer, the German government's commissioner for human rights, has largely fizzled out. After a visit to South Sudan and apparently very insistent appeals by the UN humanitarian coordinator in South Sudan, Toby Lanzer, Strässer had urged that the German presence on the ground be increased. "If the United Nations were to request more support from Germany, then I personally feel we should fulfill the requests."
So far, a deployment of up to 50 German soldiers for the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) has been authorized by the German parliament, but only 15 are presently on the ground.
Not all the peacekeepers mandated are being actively deployed on the ground
In December, the UN Security Council decided to increase the number of peacekeepers to 12,500 soldiers and 1,300 police officers, but only 8,700 of them are being actively deployed, according to Lanzer.
Apparently, the German government's new Africa strategy, with increased visibility on the "continent of opportunity," has not yet taken off in South Sudan. Although Germany's minister for economic cooperation and development, Gerd Müller, has pledged additional humanitarian assistance to South Sudan, he clearly rejected any German military intervention. In both the Foreign Ministry and the Defense Ministry, there appears to be little left of the initial enthusiasm for Africa.
Stalled peace talks in Ethiopia
While pledges by South Sudan's partners are made in Oslo on Tuesday, the East African regional bloc IGAD, which has been mediating in the conflict, has once again postponed peace talks in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
The time until June 4, when the peace talks are set to resume, is to be used for intensive shuttle diplomacy and talks with both camps. That these efforts by IGAD's chief mediator, former Ethiopian Foreign Minister Seyoum Mesfin, will somehow seriously impress the two camps is highly doubtful. The most recent ceasefire agreement between Kiir and Machar hardly held for more than a day, before new fighting was reported.
There is an African saying that "where elephants fight, the grass suffers." On the first day of the conference, it was also being cited in the hallways of the classy conference hotel in Oslo.

ICBA / Travelex to Offer Prepaid Foreign Currency Cards
Euro and Pound Sterling Cards Available at Community Banks
Washington, D.C. (Aug. 11, 2008)—The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) announced an innovative program with payments specialist Travelex to enable community banks to offer prepaid cards in foreign currency and U.S.-dollars for use overseas.
"Prepaid cards intended for use overseas offer another alternative to carrying strictly cash for community bank customers when traveling for business or pleasure," said Dan Clancy, ICBA senior vice president of services. "ICBA is delighted to have an agreement with Travelex to make these currency cards available. The cards are an added convenience when traveling."
"For new Travelex Cash PassportTM cards denominated in Euros and British Pounds, the exchange rate is locked in at the time the card is loaded. Consumers avoid the risk of currency fluctuations," said Christopher Russell, Travelex executive vice president of outsourcing, Americas. "Prepaid foreign currency cards make sense for community banks and for their customers. More than 10 million trips are made to the United Kingdom and Europe by Americans every year and 84 percent of them are prepared to buy pre-trip foreign currency from a bank. Making the cards available to community bank customers makes a lot of sense."
A recent study, conducted by YouGov PLC on behalf of Travelex, shows that demand for this new product is already established with 43 percent of recent travelers likely to use a Travelex Cash Passport in the future. For respondents, the security of a personal identification number and signature protection (37 percent) and convenience of ATM withdrawals (32 percent) were the most important features. When considering foreign exchange purchases, 37 percent of U.S.-respondents were looking for a competitive exchange rate that the Euro and British Pound cards provide alongside the ability to lock-in those rates.

LUBBOCK, Texas (Sept. 23)-In its final non-conference tune-up, the New Mexico State soccer team suffered a 5-0 loss at Texas Tech.
The Aggies fell behind early after a pair of Texas Tech goals in the first 35 minutes of action. NM State attempted to respond, and the team recorded four shots and three corner kicks in the first half.
"That's the best team we have played all year by far," head coach Blair Quinn said. "They may not be in the top 25 right now but they should be. They are very good. To be honest we didn't play very well in the first 25 minutes.
"We played a little bit scared in the first 25 and weren't setting the right tone. We made some adjustments at halftime both in tactical shape and personnel and more than anything mentality. Oddly enough, I know we gave up three goals in the second half, but we played so much better. We had a couple of really good opportunities on goal. Their goalkeeper was forced to make two really good saves, so that was encouraging to see from our attacking standpoint."
In the second period, the Aggies started with a quick pair of shots within the first few minutes of the half but couldn't convert. The Red Raiders added three goals late in the second half to extend their lead to 5-0.
Senior midfielder Elise Nordin guided the Aggies with three shots on goal, while junior goalkeeper Mikaela Bitner had four saves in 90 minutes.
The Aggies return home and open WAC play, when they host Utah State, Friday, Sept. 28 at 3 p.m. and San Jose State, Sunday, Sept. 30 at 1 p.m.

Read Poems by
Charles Henderson
Though time and life becomes a boor
and cajoling word a waste of time,
marking day and night I while away,
counting meter and making rhyme.
Then in the end, I write free verse.
Such grace! It seems almost a curse
to spill words forth in boundless flight.
As an endless sonata I write, I write.
I write to the steps of poetic grace.
In faith, I write, seeking that place.
When I arrive I know I am there,
un-tethered, liberated, floating free.
As Pegasus, ranging the universe,
proud once again that I am me.

I ordered this sandalwood scented candle because it was not expensive and it gave me free shipping. I was so very pleasantly surprised when it arrived! It is the best sandalwood candle I have ever had. The glass container is lovely and can be used as a vase when the candle is gone. The fragrance is so beautiful, you can even smell it when it's not burning. The slight crackle sound, when it burns, is not annoying like some other brands. I will buy this again and again.

Enjoy the 60s while you can!March 10th, 2014 at 4:23 pm by Robb Ellis under Weather
Big changes are coming. If you haven't enjoyed the temperatures near 60 on Monday, you'll have one more chance this week, before winter returns. By Wednesday, temperatures will drop dramatically and bring snow likely to accumulate.
Windy and mild. Lows in the low 40s.
Another warm day, and likely the last one of the week. Highs will top out around 60 degrees. Big changes come late Tuesday night with rain arriving around midnight. Lows in the upper 20s.
Temperatures will continue dropping for most of Wednesday, likely starting in the upper 20s to low 30s and dropping through the 20s during the day, reaching the 10s late Wednesday night.
Rain early Wednesday morning will change over to snow just before daybreak. Some accumulation is likely. This will impact the morning commute but road temperatures may have warmed slightly from the previous few warm days. However, it may not hold off the snow accumulation for long until road temperatures cool and a messy commute could be possible.
For the Indianapolis metro area, 1 to 3″ of snow could be possible, with the heaviest amounts to the north. Up to 3 to 6″ of snow is possible north of Indianapolis, closer to Fort Wayne. South of Indy, amounts will be lighter, likely around an inch.
Highs will be stuck in the 30s with lows in the 20s. Partly cloudy skies.
Friday and Saturday:
A return to more "normal" temperatures. Highs near 50 and lows near 30. Partly to mostly cloudy skies.

(Marion, AR) – It's a phone call no parent wants to get; a gun found at their child's school.
That's what happened to parents at Marion High School. The gun was found Friday on a student after rumors sent school administration searching for the weapon.
When parents send their kids out the door and on to school they hope they're safe, but when a gun shows up on campus, it can be quite scary to both parents and students.
"When I got [the call], it was actually after school," said Paul George who fielded the phone call from the Marion High School Principal Friday afternoon.
It was automated message that went out to all parents informing them that a student was caught with a gun.
"I was a little nervous," said George. "I would be a lot more concerned if they hadn't told us about it."
Rumors trickled through the school that a student was packing heat. That's when school resource officers searched the student and found an unloaded pistol in the students backpack. It was unnerving to other high school students, like George's 11th grade son.
"I think he was a little concerned about it," said George. "I think any kid in their right mind would be."
The district said in the message that the student with the gun never threatened anyone. It believes the high schoolers were not in any danger.
"I don't know what you do about it," George said. "I think they're doing the best they can do. I don't know what else they could do except have police officers in the schools with metal detectors all over the place, but I don't know if that's the way you want your school either."
George regrets the gun made it into the school in the first place, but pleased to hear that no students were threaten or injured.
"Nobody got hurt and that's the main thing," he said. "You don't want anybody hurt, especially a child."
The student with gun was arrested by the Crittenden County Sheriff's Office, according to that automated message. News Channel 3 was unable to confirm the information through the Marion Police Dept. or the sheriff's office. They said to call back on Monday.
