Mini Pumpkin Whoopie Pies w/ Cream Cheese filling
I found this recipe online about 6 years ago and it has quickly become my family's favorite!
Ingredients for cookies:
2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
8 TBSP (1 Stick) soft butter (make sure the butter is REALLY soft!)
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup pumpkin
Ingredients for filling:
6 TBSP soft butter (again, REALLY soft!)
4 oz cream cheese, softened (room temp)
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups confectionery sugar
Prep for cookies:
Move oven rack to middle & upper 3rd of oven. Preheat to 350. Line bottom of cookie sheets with parchment paper & grease well ( I use crisco).
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt & cinnamon & set aside. Put butter & sugar in large bowl & beat on medium for 1 min. until smooth. Add eggs & vanilla and beat for 30 seconds.
Decrease speed to low & mix in sour cream & pumpkin just until combined. Add flour mix & blend just until incorporated.
Drop 28 rounded TBSP of batter 3" apart on cookie sheets ( I end up with 3 cookie sheets altogether). Batter should be thick enough to hold it's shape. Bake 2 sheets at a time for about 12-14 min or until tops are firm & toothpick comes out clean. Half way through bake time (7 min), switch cookie sheets top to bottom, front to back to ensure even baking.
Prep for filling:
Put butter, cream cheese & vanilla in med. bowl. Beat on med-low 1 min until mix is smooth & combined. Decrease speed & add sugar in 2 additions. Beat until incorporated & frosting is smooth, about 1 more min.
You have a choice to fill the cookies now (if they are cooled enough) or you can put the frosting in the fridge until ready to use. Remember to take the frosting out of the fridge about an hour before using so it can soften a little for spreading. Spread frosting on flat side of one cookie and top with a second cookie to make a sandwich. Eat, enjoy!!

Wardell went on to say that Stardock has spent a lot of time trying to sift out the warez users from the legitimate ones, but that it would require a lot of surgery to actually break them. He feels, though, that it is a lose-lose situation because its not like there will be an accompanying ha ha pirate message to those being cut off from the game thus resulting in people simply labeling the game buggy.
Being that the company is heavily opposed to invasive DRM, as with other Stardock releases, Demigod shipped without any on-disc copy protection.

The well-known Ozark folklorist gathers together bawdy tales, previously considered unprintable, that provide insight into the region's rich exotic narrative tradition.
Noted folklorist Vance Randolph was born in Pittsburg, Kansas. After attending college at Kansas State Teachers College, Clark University, and the University of Kansas, he worked as a staff writer for Appeal to Reason, as an assistant instructor in psychology at the University of Kansas, and as a scenario writer for MGM studios in California before devoting all of his time to freelance writing. Randolph is perhaps one of America's most prolific collectors of folk tales, and he is especially renowned for his study of the Ozarks and that region's ribald folk literature. Because of their bawdy nature, many collectors and compilers have passed over such tales from this region, but Randolph compiled many of them in a work entitled Pissing in the Snow and Other Ozark Folk Tales (1976). His regional specialization has led to a number of other works, including The Ozarks: An American Survival of Primitive Society (1931), From an Ozark Mountain Holler: Stories of Ozark Mountain Folk (1933), Ozark Superstitions (1947), and Sticks in the Knapsack and Other Ozark Folk Tales (1958). Regarding his work on the Ozarks, critics have said that Randolph "gives a sensitive portrayal of a fast-vanishing breed of people . . . [and] insight to a way of life that is rapidly passing" (Choice).

By Sgt. 1st Class Robert Timmons, USASpecial to American Forces Press Service
BAGHDAD, Nov. 14, 2007 Bullet holes attest to the battleground that was this two-block portion of the Doura neighborhood. Just a few months ago, residents were afraid to step outside, leaving their neighborhood filled with garbage, without power and with most of its shops closed.
That was until members of 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, made a concerted effort to weed out insurgents and put the citizens of Doura's east side on the track to success.
"When we first arrived here, there were 10 stores open on the entire street," said Army Lt. Col. Jim Crider, the squadron commander, as he toured the peaceful streets with members of the Iraqi media. "There were several attacks, improvised explosive devices every day, and no one wanted to cooperate.
"Initially, we stayed on the street to protect the people 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until we became friends with the people," he said.
On Oct. 27, 138 stores were open, Crider added.
Staying out on the streets and erecting barriers to prevent gunfire from entering the area began to pay off in more ways than one. Citizens began to come back outside and a national police checkpoint was relocated because it was deemed unnecessary to protect that portion of town.
"This is one of the safest places in Doura," said Pvt. David Polasek, a Lawrenceville, Ga., native serving with Troop A, 1-4 Cav., as he watched Iraqis laying new concrete on the street median. "More people are coming out every day because they feel safer."
Once the citizens began to feel more secure, the insurgent threat began to diminish.
"Once we began to trust each other and share information, the insurgents could no longer hide," Crider, a native of Hopkinsville, Ky., said. "At the same time, we began to work on essential services projects such as trash pickup and street lights. Once they saw they had good power and jobs, the area began to look much nicer and the insurgents began to disappear. And things got really good."
Many projects aimed at helping citizens have been completed in the past few months. "We suffered a lack of security and essential services in (this area) until three months ago, when the citizens and local contractors were able to complete 22 projects together," said Dr. Moayaad, who lives in the neighborhood.
Some of the citizens said the area hasn't been as good since before Saddam Hussein left power. "The situation got worse after the fall (of Baghdad) until this moment," said Aalaa Eldien Salim, a butcher whose shop was one of the few that remained open during the tough times the neighborhoods endured. "The security gradually started to return to the area because of the presence of coalition forces in the area. They are rescuing us from the saboteur's elements. The lighting in the area is important for the shops."
Salim said he was able to keep in business because of monetary help. "I had damages due to explosions around my shop," he said. "I received a grant, which helped me to fix the windows, but I still need to buy some stuff for the shop, like a freezer."
The streets were once empty but for a few stores, now they are busy with the activity of a garbage truck making routine rounds to pick up trash, workers placing multicolored bricks down as a new sidewalk, children playing, and people visiting the Doura clinic for their medical needs.

Burbank to forfeit playoff vs. G-P
UIL rules Wildcats' opponent has inelgible players
The ruling forced the Bulldogs to forfeit all their games and bans the team from postseason competition. Burbank was scheduled to open the playoffs Friday night against Gregory-Portland in a one-game Class 4A area matchup at Riverside Stadium in Victoria.
"I tell you what, its been a crazy week," said Wildcats coach Fred Flores, whose team received a pass into the third round after 29-4A fourth-place finisher Fox Tex declined an invitation to take Burbanks spot.
"We were still trying to make sense of the first ruling and then this comes out," Flores said. "It gives you a sense that the right thing was done."
On Tuesday, the committee voted 4-2 in favor of upholding the eligibility of juniors Guillermo De La Cerda, Rudy De La Fuente, Said Lozano and sophomore Luis Rodriguez. However, the group received new information Thursday and gathered for an emergency meeting.
Flores said he found out the committee had reconvened around 2:30 p.m. Three hours later, University Interscholastic League athletic coordinator Mark Cousins called Flores about the decision.
"He told me that Burbank had been thrown out of the playoffs and that they gave Fox Tech the opportunity of jumping in there and taking their spot," Flores said. "After about an hour Cousins he called to say (Fox Tech coach John Gallardo) didnt think it was wise, so they bowed out."
That means G-P automatically advances to the third round against either 31-4A champion Robstown or S.A. Kennedy. The Cotton Pickers and Rockets begin a best-of-3 series tonight in San Antonio.
G-P now must endure a stretch of 11 days without a game. Considering 31-4A teams went 10 days without playing during the regular season, Flores said the Wildcats are handling the situation well.
"We dont get to play, but weve been through this thing before," he said. "We had an awesome week of practice and were ready to play Burbank. Regardless of the circumstances, we have to get ready.
"The kids are pumped up and excited. They should be proud to be in the third round. I know they deserve it."

Highlanders fall late
CHARLESTON — Defensively, Huntington High's boys basketball team was able to keep Martinsburg out of rhythm for nearly 28 minutes.
In the final four minutes, the Bulldogs finally found their rhythm.
Martinsburg got a pair of crucial 3-pointers to jumpstart a 12-2 run to end the game and escape with a 60-50 win over Huntington High in the Class AAA quarterfinals on Wednesday night at the Charleston Civic Center.
"We came into this game with a good game plan, and I think in the first half we played fantastic -- took them out of what they wanted to do," Huntington High coach Ron Hess said. "I'm just so proud of my team and how hard they played. I think a lot of people thought we were going to come up here and take a big loss and we came up and gave them all they wanted."
Both No. 8 Huntington High and top seed Martinsburg went back-and-forth over the first four minutes of the final period with three ties and two lead changes in the short span.
However, Martinsburg's Jordan Robinson broke the final tie of the night, connecting on back-to-back 3-pointers in a 60-second span to turn a 48-all tie into a 54-48 Martinsburg advantage.
The shots ended the Highlanders' upset bid.
Until the shots, Huntington High (18-7) had led for much of the night behind the play of Arick Nicks, who finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds.
While Nicks was able to see success on the glass, the rest of his teammates struggled against the length of Martinsburg.
The Bulldogs owned a 21-8 edge on the glass in the second half and scored 25 second-chance points.
"That was the biggest key in the second half," Hess said. "We outrebounded them in the second half. In the second half, they got a lot more offensive rebounds in the second half and that was probably the key to the game."
Martinsburg (24-2) started to get into a bit of a flow late in the first half, tying the game at 25 on a jumper by Elijah Freeman with 1:24 remaining.
However, freshman Tavian Dunn-Martin drilled a 3-pointer, then hit Chancelor Wooding for a layup to make it 30-25 at the half. Wooding finished the game with 15 points.
Martin hit a 3-pointer with 6:15 left in the game to give the Highlanders their final lead. He finished with eight points as a spark off the bench.
"He's fearless," Hess said. "I know he's not real tall, but he's fearless and he's going to take the ball to the hole. He's got a good all-around game and he's not just a shooter."
After Martinsburg hit the opening 3-pointer of the game, Nicks went on a personal 8-0 run and had 10 points in the first quarter to push the Highlanders out to the early advantage.
He finished with 12 points and eight rebounds in the first half and said the Highlanders weren't intimidated by the Bulldogs.
"We just never back down from a team," Nicks said. "Because they are No. 1, (that) doesn't mean anything. Anybody can be beat."
Donte Grantham led Martinsburg with 16 points and 13 rebounds while Jalen Lewis had 11 points and Robinson added 10 - eight in the final run.
HUNTINGTON 14 16 9 11 -- 50: Miller 1-3 0-0 2, Tubbs 0-1 0-0 0, Nicks 6-7 6-9 19, Wooding 6-17 0-0 15, Demoss 3-7 0-0 6, Dunn-Martin 2-8 2-2 8, Mann 0-1 0-0 0. Totals: 18-44 8-11 50.
MARTINSBURG 13 12 15 20 -- 60: Robinson 4-7 0-0 10, Lewis 3-14 4-4 11, Cole 2-4 0-0 5, Grantham 8-15 0-0 16, German 3-6 2-2 8, Freeman 1-1 0-0 2, Jones 1-1 0-0 2, Long 3-8 0-0 6. Totals: 25-56 6-6 60.
3-point goals: Huntington 6-21 (Wooding 3-11, Dunn-Martin 2-6, Nicks 1-1, Miller 0-1, Demoss 0-2). Martinsburg 4-21 (Robinson 2-4, Cole 1-3, Lewis 1-8, Grantham 0-6). Rebounds: Huntington 26 (Nicks 11). Martinsburg 33 (Grantham 13).

America needs a new civil rights movement. Apparently, white conservatives and Wall Street are being horribly oppressed, by immigrants, by Muslims, and by the Harvard-traitor president of the United States.
Christopher Hitchens described the fundamental, existential insecurity that underlies the Beck/Palin/tea party movement, in a brilliant piece in Slate:
One crucial element of the American subconscious is about to become salient and explicit and highly volatile. It is the realization that white America is within thinkable distance of a moment when it will no longer be the majority. This awareness already exists in places like New York and Texas and California, and there have even been projections of the time(s) at which it will occur and when different nonwhite populations will collectively outnumber the former white majority. But it also exerts a strong subliminal effect in states like Alaska that have an overwhelming white preponderance.
Until recently, the tendency has been to think of this rather than to speak of it—or to speak of it very delicately, lest the hard-won ideal of diversity be imperiled. But nobody with any feeling for the zeitgeist can avoid noticing the symptoms of white unease and the additionally uneasy forms that its expression is beginning to take.
For example, so strong is the moral stature of the Rev. Dr Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement that even the white right prefers to pretend to emulate it. (This smarmy tactic long predates Glenn Beck, by the way: I remember Ralph Reed trying it when he ran the Christian Coalition more than 10 years ago and announced that he wanted to remodel the organization along the lines of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.) Thus, it is really quite rare to hear slurs against President Barack Obama that are based purely on the color of his skin. Even Beck himself has tried to back away from the smears of that kind that he has spread in the past. But it is increasingly common to hear allegations that Obama is either foreign-born or a Muslim. And these insinuations are perfectly emblematic of the two main fears of the old majority: that it will be submerged by an influx from beyond the borders and that it will be challenged in its traditional ways and faiths by an alien and largely Third World religion.
And while the tea party right is couching its demands in the Beckian buzzwords of "original constitutionalism" and freedom, to the people funding the movement that means no Social Security, Medicare or unemployment insurance, and no more regulation of business, including dangerous pursuits like mining and oil drilling.
Meanwhile, over at the New York Times, Wall Street mogul-whisperer Andrew Ross Sorkin chronicles the travails of America's true underclass: the battered capitalists of Wall Street who are literally being marched into the internment camps by a cruel, despotic "president" they thought they knew…
That the honeymoon between Washington and Wall Street has turned to bitter recriminations is not news, given that the administration had long pledged to revamp Wall Street regulation in the wake of a crisis that rattled the global financial system.
Less than two years ago, Democrats received 70 percent of the donations from Wall Street; since June, when the financial regulation bill was nearing passage, Republicans were receiving 68 percent of the donations, according to an analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan research group.
But what is surprising is that some of the president's biggest supporters have so publicly derided his policies, even at the risk of hurting their ability to influence the party in the future. Issues like the carry-interest tax on private equity or the Volcker Rule have become personal.
Why so personal? The prevailing view is that bankers, hedge fund mangers and traders supported the Obama candidacy because he appealed to their egos.
Mr. Obama was viewed as a member of the elite, an Ivy League graduate (Columbia, class of '83, the same as Mr. Loeb), president of The Harvard Law Review — he was supposed to be just like them. President Obama was the "intelligent" choice, the same way they felt about themselves. They say that they knew he would seek higher taxes and tighter regulation; that was O.K. What they say they did not realize was that they were going to be painted as villains.
That Wall Street view of itself as a victim has prompted much of the private murmurings and the unfortunate — or worse — outburst from Stephen A. Schwarzman, who likened the administration's plan for taxes on private equity to "when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939." Mr. Schwarzman later apologized for the "inappropriate analogy."
Never mind that these guys caused the financial crisis that led to the need for regulation. They wish to be free. Free from government meddling in their fiscal gambling (but not free from getting bailed out if their bets don't pay off.) They long for the days of George W. Bush, when the huddled masses in the country clubs back east could truly yearn to breathe in the sweet air of liberty; a halcyon era when:
In 2007, the top .001 percent of American earners took home 6 percent of total U.S. wages — about twice the figure for 2000, notes Emmanuel Saez, an economics professor at University of California–Berkeley. Saez also found that the top 10 percent of American earners pulled in 49.7 percent of total wages: a level "higher than any other year since 1917 and even surpasses 1928."
What did W have to do with this? He cut $1.3 trillion worth of taxes, 32.6 percent of which went to the top 1 percent of earners. And thanks to $7.8 million in contributions from Ameriquest, a subprime-mortgage company, President Bush pushed his Ownership Society initiative to get poor people into mortgages they could not afford so that Wall Street could engorge itself on borrowing to buy toxic waste.
Ah, those were the days. … Can I get a rousing round of "we shall overcome?"

Gary Pinkel
Sept. 21, 2009
Gary Pinkel, Head Coach
Opening Statement...
"This is a Tuesday for all of us. We've done everything as usual from a football standpoint. I had to remind my players to go to their Monday classes not Tuesday classes. We started at 7 o'clock with a meeting this morning. We have a pad practice today and tomorrow will be a Wednesday practice and so on. It important for us, in my belief, to stay on schedule. We've done that with bowl games and all the games we play. We always back it up to the normal three or four days prior to a game. From our standpoint, we're just trying to become a better football team. We want to maintain our focus and play at a high level all the time. The only way we're going to win a football game, is to play you're best game and remain focused from the time the ball is snapped until the end of the game. That's what we're going to work hard to do. You do that by practicing and all the preparation."
Injury Report...
"De'Vion Moore has a high ankle sprain. He is certainly questionable right now. He would love to go (to Nevada), but the medical staff has to make that decision. I know he will be back after the bye week, for sure. It is possible he will be ready for this game to, so we'll see how that works out.
Del Howard has a slight separation of the shoulder. We expect him to be in the position to practice by tomorrow.
Luke Lambert played about 15 minutes into the game (against Furman) but he has an ankle issue. He is likely to play. Hardy Ricks is in the same situation. We had some ankle issues that we haven't had in the past. We always have little bumps and bruises this time of year. It's part of football."
On the shortened practice week affecting preparation...
"It throws everything off. Academically it's been an issue, communicating with professors and them being understanding that this would normally be a Monday and they (the players) would have this day off. In the afternoon there are a lot of classes scheduled. I would suggest that in football you miss class less than any other sport. For us that was an adjustment, dealing with all the faculty here. Other than that, the most important thing for us is to get on schedule. Today for us it's Tuesday. Their preparations jump start a little bit and they only have a day off. Our practice will be a little bit less time wise and we'll back off a little bit and won't do as much conditioning, Being fresh is important.
We have a bye week the next week and then we start that up to a Thursday game. It's completely different than a normal schedule, so what we had to do is set up a three-week schedule. Every single day is planned out what we're going to do and how we're going to do it. We are really organized here. And also, players understand our countdown days up to a game. We have a process of how we do it. I think that's what they expect and I think they lock into that."
On the benefit of rotating players the second half of last game...
"I think it's a plus. A guy playing 75-80 plays in a pressure packed game, where the energy is real high, is tough. But we also wanted guys to get numbers though too. It's a little bit different, not many times are you in the locker room with a 42-point lead during half time. But, then I get upset because I don't think we're focused enough the second half. I'd like to have that problem every week, but it's not going to be a problem the rest of the season, I can guarantee you that. That's a whole different issue of focus. I certainly think being able to pull guys out that it led to guys being a little more rested than a long intense battle."
On Will Ebner's intensity...
"That's what you want him to be like; you want your whole football team to be like. He's a very physical player like Spoon is, he hits people and they know they got hit. He's a great kid to have on the team."
On non-BCS away games...
"That's part of the scheduling, you go two-for-one or you write out a huge check. That's all scheduling that Mark Alnutt, Mike Alden, and myself all get involved in. I've played at their (Nevada's) stadium before. I was at Toledo so I've been there. It will be a big deal. They are a first class organization. To play on a Thursday night or Friday night is like Monday night football. It's the only show in the country. It's fun. I know we're excited to play. I know they're going to be. They've had a couple tough football games and had a lot of turnovers. They're a better football team then what their records have shown. Notre Dame and Colorado State are good football teams. Their fans will be into it, I guarantee you. This is a good game for us, against a real good football team in a tough environment. We're going to find out about ourselves a little bit."
On building the level of difficult plays for Gabbert...
"I think we give him a little bit more every week. He is a really smart guy. I've been really pleased with him. He impresses me with how he handles things on the field. He's a great competitor he stays composed. When he stays locked in and stays in control he is at his best. Some guys are different, Tebow goes crazy on the sideline, and he plays pretty good. We tell him, `this is about you being you.' I couldn't be more pleased with how he handles himself."
On Jared Perry's progress...
"He came off a real good freshman year along with Danario. They did well during practice but they weren't outstanding. But we just thought they would get better-and-better and they did. At the end of the season they did well. With J.P (Jared Perry) we just thought he didn't play as well. There was a lot of competition out there. There were guys like Jeremy Maclin and Chase Coffmann who were both First Team All-Americans. You grow a lot from adversity. He is a heck of a competitor and it's good to see him making the plays that we all know he can make. And Danario (Alexander) for that matter, also."
On coaching out of penalties...
"Discipline. Being a very disciplined football team. Being able to handle stress and distractions under any conditions and circumstances. You train kids to do that; some kids are more naturally mature to do that. Some players who aren't playing at first, that eventually become real good players, for example William Moore wasn't very good his first couple years and ended up becoming a real good player, because just maturity wise he was behind. That's why our practices are so hard. Tuesday's the players are just exhausted and they should be, because we try to create an environment that is such that makes them focused and tired. It makes them have to use their discipline and focus on the football field. Some kids have it, most kids we have to train and develop it."
On Jarell Harrison and Jasper Simmons...
"He has done really, really well. It was his first college game. He was intensely nervous before the game. Which is okay, a lot of guys are. Jasper Simmons has done a really good job. They are two great additions. I'm trying to get more people out there, making things happen because we're going to need that."
On Missouri's secondary...
"I think we're doing okay. Every week there is going to be a different answer to that question. They had that one trick play on us which was kind of disappointing. Carl Gettis and Kevin Rutland have played really well. Hobson and Steeples have gone in and done some things. All those corners are underclassmen and a very talented group of guys. I think we're doing okay; every week is a different test. This week is a different challenge with option football. The quarterback can run really well which puts a lot of pressure on the corners. My big thing is I just want to play more focused. One play can change a football game, especially back there. There is no one else back there. They have a big responsibility. Everybody has a critical role that they have to do on a football team."
Sean Weatherspoon, Defensive Linebacker
On the upcoming game against Nevada:
It's our first real road game, so we're excited for the challenge. They've got a good team up there. We had some scares with them when they came here last year because they have a quarterback that can create mismatches, so we've really got to go out there and be sound and play solid football.
On playing in front of a smaller away crowd:
I actually went to New Mexico my freshman year, and it was kind of a smaller crowd too. The crowd was still there though, and it was a lot louder than what I expected once I heard how many fans were there. I'm expecting the same type of rowdy environment that we always expect when we're on the road.
On how dangerous the Nevada offense is:
I think they are. Their two losses right now are kind of misleading. They had a lot of turnovers [in their two losses], and you can't win like that. They know that, and so I'm pretty sure they're trying to get that fixed. We're just trying to prepare for them. Every week is the same; you go out and prepare the same way. We're going there with the same mindset, and we're excited to be facing those guys. They've got some pretty good players, so we're going to go out their with our A game.
On playing their next two games on a Friday and Thursday:
I think it will be good. We get a lot of national exposure like that. A lot of people out there aren't really talking about the Tigers, and you've got to go out there and get respect if you want it. We're going to go out there on a Friday and get respect, and then we've got another opportunity on a Thursday to get it coming up pretty soon. I think we're up for it.
Jared Perry, Wide Receiver
On advice he received from his family during his preseason struggles:
They just told me to keep my head up and keep focused. They knew I could do it. I just had to go out there and do my best, and knowing that I have them behind me makes me want to keep going. My confidence, pride-everything was shaken. What doesn't break you makes you stronger, so I feel that having that season made me a better person and athlete. I just want to compete every day.
On having fewer receptions last year than his sophomore season:
I always want the ball in my hands, but as long as we were winning I couldn't be mad. I just put my little piece of the puzzle in. Whenever they need me, I'll just step up and make the play.
On being underestimated by defenders:
I think they'll probably post on me later on in the season, but right now while they aren't I'll just try to take advantage of the situation. I love to compete. A lot of people don't take me seriously, but I just try to make plays and play my game.
Blaine Gabbert, Quarterback
On the first few difficult offensive drives against Furman:
I really wouldn't consider it struggling. We just had a few mental errors and a few early penalties that kind of hurt our drives, but we bounced back and scored a lot of points. It's about execution and playing smart football. Penalties kill drives, and we had 10 and 15 yard penalties. You can't be in second and long and third and long situations like that. The playbook gets really small, and it's pretty hard to execute on.
On Nevada:
They're a good football team. They have a lot of guys coming back, and they're preparing for us. We're going to go out there and have a good game. Everything gets bumped up a day, but we're still doing the same film study. It's a lot of our guys' first real road game, and so we're all pretty excited about it.
On the team struggles with penalties last week:
Those are drive killers. You saw that in the first two drives against Furman, and we had a few of those against Bowling Green. We're just working really hard every day and trying to play a lot smarter football. We have to just come out and execute from the get go just like we did against Illinois.
Andrew Gachkar, Linebacker
On Nevada's two losses:
We're aware of their record, but we definitely feel like they're a lot better than 0-2. They're probably one of the best 0-2 teams in the entire nation. Is definitely a really good quarterback, and he's extremely fast, so we're preparing for a really good team.
On Nebraska's loss Saturday:
I was with my family and we watched the Nebraska game. They did lose, but I was honestly cheering for them to win, because that's the type of team that we want to play. Either way, we're still going to be playing against a really good team, because from what I saw they looked really good.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Senior John Baker put down a match-high 13 kills as 12th-ranked Cal State Northridge completed its two-match exhibition schedule with a 25-16, 25-22, 25-12 victory over British Columbia-Okanagan Friday evening at USC's Galen Center.
The Matadors, who swept Alberta on Thursday, did not drop a set in winning their two exhibition matches against the visiting Canadian universities.
"We were able to work out some of the kinks we had last night," said head coach Jeff Campbell. "In the first two sets our serving was a little inconsistent but in game three we really put it together. Our passing was really good tonight and any time we pass well we're going to be right there in any game."
Baker led a trio of Northridge hitters in double figures as he hit .400 in 25 swings. The senior opposite also chipped in six digs and had two of the Matadors' three aces. Fellow senior Jared Moore started in place of Drew Staker in the middle and had 11 kills in 14 swings without an error (.786) and junior Brandon Lebrock also notched 11 kills while hitting .375.
Cory Wagner came off the bench to knock down seven kills while also posting a match-high eight digs and sophomore setter Travis Magorien handed out 34 assists as Northridge hit a robust .469 as a team.
BC-Okanagan was led by Riley McFarland's 11 kills (.292) as the Heat hit .174 as a team.
The preseason 12th-ranked Matadors open the 2013 season on Tuesday, Jan. 8 as Northridge travels to sixth-ranked UCLA. First serve at the new Pauley Pavilion is scheduled for 7 p.m.

SEC country means the finish line is in sight for James Brown
Monday, July 9, 2012
By Chris Sokoloski
James Brown is 2,071 miles into his cross-country bicycle trip and the finish line is in sight.
He has seven more days of riding, and one rest day, before he can once again sleep in his own bed in Surfside Beach.
Brown, Waccamaw High School's tennis coach, is riding from Huntington Beach, Calif., to Surfside Beach to raise money for the Ashley G Foundation, which is named for Ashley Gaines, a Waccamaw High graduate who died of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2008.
Brown and his wife, Sonja, who is driving the route with him, have been on the road for six weeks.
"It's a challenging time," Brown said. "We both miss our children and our friends. It's hard to believe when you've been gone so long."
Brown didn't ride last Wednesday, instead spending a quiet Fourth of July in Greenville, Miss., where fireworks are banned.
He was happy to put Texas and Arkansas in his rear view mirror.
"Right before Dallas was the worst," Brown said. "The winds and the hills and the weather were just terrible. And I didn't like Arkansas too much."
Since then the terrain has flattened out, the weather has improved and the traffic has thinned.
Brown is also happy to be back in a more familiar part of the South.
"It feels much more like home," he said. "I love the [Southeastern Conference] and around here all anybody cares about is football."
Brown has crossed into Alabama, where he'll ride the same route Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led a Civil Rights march from Selma to Montgomery.
Sonja is leaving for a few days on a business trip back to Texas and Brown will be joined by Tom Tracy, a childhood friend, for a few days. The Browns have been enjoying their rest days and non-cycling time, with rodeos, line dancing, movies (including "Magic Mike"), visits with old friends, and a lot of history. "We've had a good time," Brown said. "All these little small towns are just great. Well-kept and clean. So much history." ********************************* To follow Brown's progress or make a donation, go to theashleygride.com. You can also read a daily blog by the Browns on the site.

Gov. Brown Signs Bill Raising California's Minimum Wage
Listen Now:
Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
California's minimum wage will go up for the first time in six years. Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law today.
Governor Brown held two ceremonies announcing the minimum wage increase, one in Los Angeles and one in Oakland.
At the event in Northern California, Brown acknowledged the bill won't erase the income gap in the state.
"This is a step. It's now the whole answer by any means. But it's an important step to raise the floor even as the ceiling gets farther and farther apart," he said.
The law will gradually increase the state's minimum wage until it reaches ten dollars an hour by 2016.
Some supporters of the bill say it should have included an automatic cost-of-living escalator. The final version does not. But Brown says the bill is reasonable and pushes businesses to do more, while not pushing them too far.

4 FM quick reads on data centers
1. Decommissioned Data Centers: What's Next?
For some organizations, thinking about a new data center occurs in tandem with planning for what will happen to the old data center. What happens when a data center has reached the end of its life? It depends on what's going to happen with the building after the data center is decommissioned.
One option is to re-purpose the building for another use. Many data centers are part of a larger building that also includes office space. Depending on the age and condition of generators, chillers, and other MEP/fire protection systems, there is an after-market for used equipment. There is also a huge after-market to salvage electrical equipment and power cabling due to the high cost of copper.
If the data center has underground fuel tanks, they need to be removed and decommissioned in accordance with EPA requirements. Batteries in UPS systems need to be removed and recycled.
If you are moving out of your data center because you have outgrown the available power and space, one option is to re-sell the property to another user. There is a robust market in the United States for customers looking for existing data center space.
In some cases, the land may be more valuable for an alternate use, which would require decommissioning and demolition on the entire facility. Again, it's worthwhile to consider reselling heavy equipment and salvaging other valuable assets to maximize the value that can be obtained from the old data center.
It should be obvious that no one size fits all. Each type of data center is unique in its mission and life cycle. The up-front planning and total cost of ownership analysis of options are critical steps to a successful project.
Staff Training, Maintenance Schedule Help Keep UPS Running
Ongoing staff training and a comprehensive maintenance schedule are both critical elements of ensuring your data center UPS can handle the load.
Data center facility staff wear multiple hats, and day-to-day operations could go on for many months or even years without UPS interaction. Therefore, facility staff must be properly trained on the use of the UPS system on an ongoing basis, preferably annually, as the personnel who were present during the initial UPS training may not be there 10 years later. But, even when facility personnel remain the same for a decade, annual training provides a much-needed refresher in recognizing what the UPS system dependencies are and what should happen when something goes wrong. The operators responsible for maintaining the UPS should understand how the system's redundancy is intended to operate.
Also, be proactive in implementing a routine maintenance schedule. Here are some guidelines broken down by UPS component: Batteries: Replace every 5 years and do yearly testing each year in between.
Air conditioning: Service it properly, including replacement of filters, etc.
Control boards: Once the UPS starts aging, batteries aside, the next thing to fail are the control boards. Inspect them every year at a minimum. Replace every 10 years or less. Look at consulting with the UPS manufacturer for their suggested replacement schedule.
Cooling Fans: While most manufacturers build redundancy into their UPS cooling fans, fans are a moving mechanical component and will wear out. Replace on an as-needed basis, but be proactive, as multiple fan replacement is recommended also in the 5 to 10 year range.
Power filtering capacitors: Also recommended to be replaced in the 5 to 10 year range, but varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
The initial UPS design should both provide the data center owner with peace of mind that the mission critical environment has been executed as designed and put the facility personnel in the best possible position to easily maintain the building, through installation and daily operations.
Commission, Test UPS To Ensure Proper Operation
A data center UPS plays a critical role in keeping the data center operating the way it's supposed to, and it's up to FMs to make sure it can play that role. Among the ways to do that are to commission the system thoroughly and test it under real-world, worst-case scenarios. Failure to do either of these things due to budget concerns can lead to much greater expense in the long run.
Because data centers are often designed years before the facility is actually built out and populated with equipment, commissioning the UPS system can be especially crucial to confirming that it can actually hold the data center's load. Additionally, while most UPS manufacturers are diligent in their quality assurance, there's no guarantee that the contractor installed it properly or that it didn't get damaged in transit. As a UPS system design becomes more complex with additional levels of redundancy, it becomes more important to go beyond generic factory startup services and properly commission the system. An artificial load equal to ultimate data center design load is used to simulate the conditions under which the UPS will be expected to operate (called the load bank test). Because the load may vary from moment to moment (i.e., ramping up from idle first thing on a Monday morning, etc.), the tests should include step load testing for various scenarios that the UPS may be expected to accommodate without failure.
A UPS can fail in many ways: overload, battery failure, fan failure, overheating, EPO activation, etc. These are common failure modes that the UPS manufacturer has theoretically anticipated in its design, so don't be afraid to incorporate tests for worst-case scenarios. It's better to understand how a system will perform ahead of time in a controlled environment rather than guess what will happen when it's supporting a critical load. With redundant N+1 and 2(N+1) configurations, it is expected that if there is a fault in the system, the system will be able to automatically compensate for that failure. But with that additional redundancy also comes additional complexity, and associated test scripts should be expanded to account for additional possible failure scenarios. Having facilities personnel witness these tests is also an ideal way to get a head start on training for when things go wrong.
Site-Specific Data Center Commissioning Can Avoid Issues
A site-specific, customized data center commissioning process lets trades and vendors do their jobs, with direction, oversight, management and documentation detailing demonstration of component, subsystem, and overall integrated system performance in accordance with owner requirements.
Commissioning technicians tend to focus heavily on familiar equipment they understand while sometimes glossing over or even ignoring unfamiliar equipment they don't understand. This lack of understanding often extends to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) vendor service technicians, and even more so to third party service technicians. It is not uncommon for OEM vendor service technicians to be unfamiliar with standard features built in to their own equipment. Furthermore, commissioning reports often tell an incomplete story, failing to articulate in summary and in organized detail what exactly was tested, how it was tested, when it was tested, and how it performed.
Commissioning efforts and results for data centers and critical facilities vary widely, from glorified vendor startups billed as complete commissioning to a small army of technicians checking off boilerplate "one size fits all" forms, with little understanding about how the equipment they are inspecting and commissioning actually operates, let alone how it is most likely to fail. In the real world of data center commissioning, this approach results in some all-too-common problems.
Interfaces between different equipment sets and vendor subsystems are the areas where many problems occur. Vendors generally do a satisfactory job of getting their own equipment working, and also performing operator training for their own equipment and sub-systems. After all, they have a warranty and brand name to protect. However, many field technicians are too focused on "inside the box" individual component performance, to the point of attempting to prove specifications that are not relevant to the project (i.e., extreme overload conditions).
Many hours and precious resources can be wasted on minutia, such as simulating every minor alarm point. However, too often no one is taking a look at the big picture: how all the sub-systems need to work together and where the realistic failure points exist. Then, when the available commissioning time or budget are nearly exhausted, important overall performance tests are rushed, cut short, or otherwise compromised.

Chill in air, if not snow, for holiday this year
Highs rise to 60s by Monday
CORPUS CHRISTI - Whether early risers today see snow or not, it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.
Meteorologist Tony Merriman said there's a a 50 percent chance of sleet, rain, snow early this morning. The greater chances for snow and sleet exist inland.
"But the afternoon will be above freezing with a slight chance of rain," he said.
He said temperatures today should be in the mid-30s inland and upper 30s along the coast, dropping to the mid-20s inland and lower 30s on the coast tonight. Wind chill readings for the day and night should be from 10 to 20 degrees.
The temperature Christmas Day should reach around 50 degrees and continue to rise to the 60s on Monday.
City Water Superintendent Eduardo Garana said he didn't receive any reports of water main breaks Thursday afternoon, but his crews were prepared for the freezing temperatures.
"We're getting prepared just in case," Garana said. "I think in 1984 we had a big freeze and a bunch of homes had water breaks. I remember we worked all day and night. We have extra crews on standby for Christmas Day and our trucks are stocked."
Garana said residents who leave town for the holidays should keep their thermostats at a normal level to prevent pipes from freezing in attics.
He said frozen pipes could burst once they thaw.
To prepare for the freezing temperatures, Padre Island resident Gerald Tjonajoe, a tennis pro, stocked up on firewood.
"I bought a bunch of firewood in case the power goes out again," Tjonajoe said. "I don't have any pets to worry about and all of our pipes are pre-insulated."
At Corpus Christi International Airport, delays and cancellations Thursday were minimal.
Airport Director David Hamrick said one American Airlines flight was canceled in the afternoon because of mechanical reasons, not weather problems.
He said he wasn't aware of any flight delays or cancellations to flights connecting from Corpus Christi.
"Things have improved drastically compared to yesterday," Hamrick said.

Press Release
LG ELECTRONICS DEMONSTRATES 'VSBnet' PRACTICAL HOME NETWORK USING EXISTING CABLING
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2006 --- Offering a glimpse of the near-term future of home networking, LG Electronics Inc. today demonstrated 'VSBnet,' a practical approach that uses existing coaxial cabling and is based on industry-standard digital television (DTV) technologies.
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2006 --- Offering a glimpse of the near-term future of home networking, LG Electronics Inc. today demonstrated 'VSBnet,' a practical approach that uses existing coaxial cabling and is based on industry-standard digital television (DTV) technologies.
VSBnet, developed by LG's U.S. DTV research division, Zenith, capitalizes on the flexibility of the ATSC DTV standard to seamlessly enable the transport of digital video and Internet protocol (IP) data around the home. According to Dr. Jong Kim, president of the Zenith R&D Lab, VSBnet offers a wide range of advantages including the capability to:
• Carry programs from any source (broadcast, cable, satellite, telco) through existing coaxial (RG-59) cabling,
• Deliver 135 VSB channels at 38.8 megabits per second (offering a potential total bitrate of 5.3 gigabits per second),
• Use ATSC/VSB demodulators built into all digital TVs, and
• Secure high-value digital content through an AES-based digital rights management system.
Demonstrated for the first time at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show, VSBnet is a cost-effective solution that doesn't require costly or limited-length IEEE 1394 wiring or translators, and doesn't use expensive CAT5 wiring.
---This simple, elegant solution for home networking delivers scores of digital TV channels and IP data throughout the home using existing home coax and existing DTV tuners. Dr. Kim said. And, unlike wireless systems, VSBnet signals don't radiate into other in-home products, encroach on neighbors equipment or leak content.
---VSB is the best interface between media devices in the home, Dr. Kim explained, adding that Federal Communications Commission regulations require that all new TV receivers and recorders will have this input by March 2007. This is similar to the channel 3-channel 4 remodulator in the analog world except that there is no signal degradation with digital VSB.
Building on Consumer Electronics Association's "VSB Remodulator" standard, LG Electronics is developing circuitry that facilitates in-home retransmission of digital HDTV and other digital TV content on a self-assembling network that does not require a central server.
Based in Englewood Cliffs, N.J., LG Electronics USA, Inc., (LGEUS) is the North American subsidiary of LG Electronics, Inc., a $38-billion global force in consumer electronics, information technology and communications products. LGEUS comprises four core business areas: mobile phones, consumer electronics, home appliances and information technology products, all marketed under its "LG: Life's Good" theme. Zenith, a pioneer in consumer electronics and long-time HDTV technology leader, developed the "VSB" or vestigial side band digital transmission system at the heart of the ATSC DTV broadcast standard adopted by the FCC. Zenith merged with LG in'99. For more information, please visit www.LGusa.com or www.zenith.com.

THE MARTIAN. By Andy Weir. Crown. 384 pages. $24.
In the near future, mankind has successfully landed manned missions on Mars without mishap. The Ares 3 team, the third to explore the surface, has equipment, shelter and supplies for a two-month stay on the Red Planet. But a major windstorm changes their circumstances in a hurry in Andy Weir's debut novel, "The Martian," a story for readers who enjoy thrillers, science fiction, nonfiction or flat-out adventure.
The crew is forced to evacuate when dust begins to destroy their base camp. Mark Watney's pressure suit is torn by a piece of shrapnel, and the other crew members, assuming the worst, take off, leaving Watney behind. After the wind dies down and the dust settles, he regains consciousness and discovers that he's been abandoned and the only person remaining on the planet.
After repairing both his suit and the shelter, Watney realizes he must figure out how to survive so that he can be rescued by the crew of the next mission, which is scheduled to arrive in a few years.
Weir has created an authentic portrayal of the future of space travel, and Watney is the perfect character to follow as he struggles in an unknown and hostile environment.

Outlook Gods Speak: Outlook 2013 Coming to Windows RT
Earlier this year our CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, urged the 'Outlook gods' to add Outlook to Windows RT.Apparently they listened.
Microsoft announced at the Computex trade show in Taiwan this week that
Outlook 2013 RT will be coming to Windows RT tablets
later this year with the release of Windows 8.1.
This is an exciting development that we believe will deliver a much more robust and full-featured experience to Windows RT users, including those with the Microsoft Surface RT, Lenovo Yoga 11 and ASUS VivoTab RT, which are all powered by NVIDIA Tegra 3.
As Microsoft noted, consumers and business users alike have asked for Outlook for Windows RT, and we are thrilled that it will join the rest of the Office apps, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote, that are already available on Windows RT devices when the free update to Windows is available later this year in the Windows Store.
We agree with Microsoft that the addition of Outlook on Windows RT, along with the
announcements Microsoft made this week at
TechEd on security, manageability and networking capabilities coming with Windows RT 8.1, makes Windows on ARM even more compelling for enterprises users.

Mexico: Public Behaviour
From ExecutivePlanet.com
Acceptable public conduct
Men will shake hands during greetings that may become particularly warm between close friends. Women, however, will often pat each other on the right forearm or shoulder. If they are particularly close, women will hug or kiss each other on the cheek.
Women should initiate handshakes with men.
A gentle grip is all that is required when shaking hands.
Mexican men may exchange a sort of bear-hug, called an "abrazo." It follows a simple but defined protocol. If you find yourself in an abrazo, relax, participate--you have arrived.
Handshakes at the conclusion of a meeting are intended to affirm what was discussed or agreed to. Your Mexican host will probably walk you to the door or elevator.
Conversations occur at a much closer physical distance than you may be accustomed to in the United States. Moving away to establish distance is considered unfriendly. In response, a Mexican will often step forward and close the distance again.
Mexican men are warm, friendly, and may initiate physical contact. They often touch shoulders or hold the arm of another. Withdrawing from these affectionate gestures can be perceived as an insult.
One useful gesture to learn and use is the "abrazo," a warm hug accompanied by hearty back-slapping, followed by a handshake. The "abrazo" is used among closer male acquaintances; it is welcomed as a sign of good will, a vital asset in Mexican business culture.
Eye contact should be infrequent; avoid looking at others too intently.
Some Mexicans use the "psst-psst" sound to get another's attention in public. In Mexican business etiquette, this is not considered rude.
Men should avoid putting their hands in their pockets when in public.
Putting your hands on your hips signifies that you're making a challenge.
Using the Lord's name in vain, especially in public, is considered deeply offensive to Mexicans.
Use the index finger when gesturing to indicate height. The whole hand is used to indicate the height of an animal.
The "O.K." gesture with the thumb and index finger is considered vulgar.
In a store, Mexicans pay for their purchases by placing the money directly in the clerk's hand, rather than on the counter. Leaving a payment on the counter is generally rude.
Daily Greetings
Morning greeting = "Buenos días", literally "Good day"
Afternoon greeting= "Buenas tardes""Good Afternoon"
Any time greeting = "Hola""Hello" OR "Cómo esta?""How Are You?"

The American Idol theme last night was "Songs from the Year You Were Born" and we can think of about ten thousand songs we would have preferred to hear instead of the dreck that was sung last night. We were surprised by how much we liked hearing Allison Iraheta's version of Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" and we give credit to Adam Lambert for making the best song choice of the night with "Mad World" but we still don't like that guy and ain't nothing gonna change that. Here are a few things we did like:
5. Simon's Standing O – Undeserved, We Think.
The best thing about the last fifteen minutes of Idol lately is that the judges have to rush through their critiques and give quicker-than-normal notes on a performance, like Kara DioGuardi saying to second-to-last performer Matt Giraud "Incredible on every level! Unbelievable!" and not trying to get poetic and verbose as she often does. So we were kind of shocked at Simon Cowell who chose critiqued Adam Lambert by simply saying "Words aren't necessary, I'm just going to give you a standing ovation." Simon, if he had the time, may have wanted to ask what, exactly, Adam did in that song that was so innovative or different from the version sung by Gary Jules for the Donnie Darko soundtrack. The song was written originally by Tears for Fears whose version was kind of uptempo-new wave, but then it was covered by Jules who uh, Adam basically ripped off. We still love the song and think it was a great oasis in a desert of blah song choices, but if you're going to call something karaoke, this was it.

My sides hurt from laughing at these idiots who keep calling for LSU to get rings should they get beat by Alabama cause they would have split the games... ITS THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME... winner take all. you play the regular season to see who gets to the BCS NC.. then the winner of that game is the champion. If the Steelers beat the Packers in November then lose in the Superbowl its not a split... If the Lakers beat the Celtics 8 out of 10 times in the regular season then lose in the finals 4-3 peaople dont go .. well we beat them more time than they beat us... STUPID PEOPLE ARE HILARIOUS.
Ole Chris there is whining about the way things are done in th eBCS and yet he voted himself 5th and the team that beat him at home TCU like 19th... STFU and quit whining.
We leave the "usual nonsense" up to you Lib... you are so great at it.
bitter party of 1.. bitter party of 1
this guy gets paid to write this crap?
Bitter, party of 1.... Bitter, party of 1
Well after reading all that dribble the only thing i oculd think of was he enforced something my grandfather would say about people who he didnt think so highly of.... "that guy could move to Mississippi and the IQ's of both states would increase slightly"
OK to the small minded larged mouth person who stated Alabama wouldnt be in a national playoff this year. How exactly can you make that statement since you have absolutely no friggin idea what the criteria would be to get in this imaginary playoff that you seem to have set up and made up the rules as to who gets in and who doesnt. Again.. please explain to me the exact criteria /rule that would bar Alabama from being in a playoff this year... YOU CANT, it doesnt exist therefore the rules regulating it dont exist. The only thing your statemant does is prove that some of the stereotypes about this state are indeed true.
up until now, the biggest decision you've ever made on your own was what color parachute pants to wear to the Wham concert back in '85.
Then the two of you have a lot in common.
I have absolutely no respect for anything that anyone from the Fed says. Bernanke and Geitner (sp?) have been wrong basically everytime they have opened their mouth for the last two years. Why anyone would give a donkey's rodent about anything they had to say is betond me.
You could always move to the middle east
09NC i fear we are far closer to that point than anyone realizes....
Moz... start throwing people like Mathews and both the good Revvvrunn's out of that boat and i'll gladly help you rock it. Until then the naacp and rainbow cashgrab and push our wayinto your wallet will continue to be viewed as exactly what they are... JOKES
i never did get my "Free Larry" keychain i ordered
yet another Scarbo masterpiece
people are worried about not having money in the bank... im worried about having money in the bank and it not being worth the paper its printed on... unless the central bank known as the Federal reseve is abolished and this country back to regulating and coining its own money we have no choice but to go under financially. Go look up how much value the dollar has actually lost since 1913. the inception of the federal reserve act.. it cant lose much more... better yet most people should actually go educate themselves on where money actually comes from.. is kinda scary to e honest with you
is there one child who has read every book in this so called underfunded library? how many books a day are checked out of this place by kids in this area? someone that lives in the area please run by there saturday morning and report back as to how many kids are utilizing the facility... Thanks
This lazy arse entitlement generation is quickly running this country in the ground. In less than 20 years most of us will be driving cabs in Asia somewhere explaining to people we came there to give our families a chance at a better life
you never sound angry... envious,bitter,idiotic yes... angry no :)

Dropout Program Falls Short
By KRWG News
Texas – About 20 percent of Texas high school dropouts have graduated within a year in a $6 million recovery program that has fallen short of expectations.
Computer-based classes and career counseling have helped the 1,173 students enlisted in May 2008 in the Texas Dropout Recovery Pilot Program. But providing child care, night classes and financial incentives haven't yielded the higher graduation rates educators expected.
The Houston Chronicle reports that the biggest obstacle since the program's launch in August 2008 was tracking down dropouts.
Texas is offering participating districts up to $1,000 for each student who graduates. So much incentive money remains unspent that the state extended the first cycle of the program to May.

They say the squeaking wheel gets the grease, so I think it is high time the citizens of Crestview and the north end of the county start squeaking and calling their commissioners about the north end's road conditions.
I am all for a 3- to 5-cent gas tax if all proceeds go toward fixing roads, mostly in the north end. This is the only way— and probably the fairest way— to get the work done.
P.J. Adams and Antioch roads, among the heaviest traveled roads in the county, have not been resurfaced for over 20 years. There are patches on top of patches, and this cannot continue for another 15 years as the traffic gets heavier and heavier.
New subdivisions along Old Bethel Road and near Baker have caused a large increase in traffic.
We have dirt roads leading to new schools, schools with no sidewalks, subdivisions with no sidewalks, and a city with few sidewalks. Every new subdivison should be required to have sidewalks on every street.
There are roads around the airport that require attention if we ever want to make that area a first class airport and industrial park.
We have two county commissioners in the north end, Mr. Wayne Harris and Mr. Nathan Boyles — both fine, hard working gentlemen. Let them know your concerns, give them your suggestions for improving the north end's road conditions.
Don't just sit there and complain; that doesn't accomplish anything.
Citizens of Crestview should contact their city council members and pass suggestions and recommendations to them. And stay on them.
It is the only way work will be accomplished. Just remember the squeaking wheel — or in our case, the squeaking "hub."
