'Banking headaches' blog makes the Carnival of Personal Finance
In honor of Women's History Month -- which takes place each March -- the latest Carnival of Personal Finance has been dubbed the Women in History edition and includes thoughts from Eleanor Roosevelt, Helen Keller, Amelia Earhart -- and myself.
For this edition, along with the wisdom of personal finance bloggers, you also get some great quotes from six important historical female figures.
Carnival host SimplyForties has rounded up some of the blogosphere's best posts on personal finance, which are definitely worth a read. Among them, you'll find my blog post, "Being a financial reporter doesn't make you immune from banking headaches," in the Clara Barton section of the carnival.
Wondering what makes a blog carnival? They are basically a collection of blog posts united by a central topic (in this case, personal finance) and hosted by a different blogger each edition.
Be sure to check it out!

After a brief hiatus while the city finalized the new playground equipment and prepared for the summer events, the city is back on the trail towards a splash pad. The city proposed a splash pad to residents last year after discussions with a number of residents in the county as well as visits to splash pads in other cities. Morgan City is making this a community project and planning to primarily fund the construction of the splash pad with donated funds, material, and labor from local businesses and residents. The city feels confident that they can raise the funds required.
A surprising number of Morgan School District employees are going to join the ranks of the retired this year. Ten of our stalwart members have decided it's time to move on to future endeavors and adventures.

On Saturday April 30, the track teams attending the Morgan High "Pocket Change" Invitational found snow laying on the field and one inch of snow in the stands. But some blue sky and sunshine was also a welcome guest. Everyone pitched in with snow shovels and cleared the stands and the throwing areas of the snow and the thirteen teams that made the trip began the days competition.
On May 6 and 7, Trojan Track athletes loaded the bus and made the annual trip to the BYU Invitational. This was the 101 year of the meet. To get to BYU athletes have to meet certain qualifying standards set by the invitational. It is always a great place to be and this year the weather was warm and inviting. Many PR (personal records) were attained and the weather could have contributed to the good performances. This was the warmest track meet of the year and a welcome change from the 40 degree rainy, cold, meets of March and April.
Shay Hatch, Whitney Titus, Hannah McDermott, Eden Farnsworth and Talisha Bambrough played their last regional game at Wilkinson Recplex against Judge Memorial on Thursday, May 5, 2011.

Age 10
Beep, Beep, Beep! Rex woke up sweating from his now normal nightmare. His parents and he has been driving down a three lane highway at 10 o'clock at night. His Dad was driving and a drunk driver in a semi swerved towards their car. Dad swerved a little to the left. Another truck driver appeared on the left and swerved into their car also. Dad swerved to the middle lane now. As his Dad slowed, so did the other trucks. At the same time both drivers swerved to the center smashing the car between the pick up and the semi. Rex remembered looking up, seeing one gigantic boulder coming down the mountain. As Rex glanced to the semi driver he thought he saw the driver turn to smoke and drift out the window. Looking at the other driver, he too turned to vapor and was gone. That was the last thing Rex saw before the boulder came crashing down, killing his parents and taking his left leg for life. The only difference between this dream and the others was this one had happened on year ago in Rex's real life and it hadn't stopped since.
The Latter-day Saint Cherokee Family based in Milton, Utah celebrated their 20th year of organization this last week end.

Saturday, they met at the Milton, Utah, LDS Ward Chapel for an all day celebration, with several national speakers and an elaborate Cherokee Feast. The Latter-day Saint speakers each spoke for one hour on:
Last month FamilySearch announced that there are now more than 140 genealogical online training courses on FamilySearch.org. I have written somewhat about these, in the past, but thought given the large increase in courses that it was worth another mention.
On Tuesday former county council administrator Garth Day appeared in Federal Court and plead not guilty to six federal counts. Day made his first appearance in federal court before Judge Sam Alba.

2011 Morgan County Sheriff's Office reports the following activity for May 1 thru May 7, with a total of 153 calls:
Last week an editorial commentary was submitted labeling the Morgan County Airport as a "heavily subsidized" burden on the taxpayers, and a "ridiculous" use of funds for something used by a minority of the county residents. While everyone is entitled to an opinion and has a right to voice it, a little more research and thought regarding the issues will often alter one's point of view:
Morgan Conservation District is hosting a Bag O' Woad program this spring. The program receives support from the Morgan Conservation District, 1st Bank, Diamond D Ranch, J Reverse J Cattle Company, and Morgan County.

A man who can wear many hats (or in this case many uniforms), Zane Gray is finally hanging up one of them. Over the last three years Zane has served as the Regional Commissioner for Morgan County American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), but in June he will be retiring. AYSO serves approximately 550 of Morgan County's finest youth soccer players, ranging from four to nineteen years of age. These players can be seen each weekend in the spring and fall on the fields of the Morgan North Stake Bowery and Kent Smith Park in Mountain Green. It is probably the largest athletic organization in the county, yet little has been said about the man who has lead these efforts with no remuneration for his work.

Her family moved to Salt Lake City while she was in grade school. Music played a large role in her life and she and her sisters were in high demand as a singing trio throughout the valley.
Summer months for children need to be a time for relaxation, fun, learning the attributes of work, and of course no school. It can also be a time when reading skills are lost if students do not participate to a small extent in summer reading programs.

Morgan traveled to Bear River the 27 April 2011. The Lady Trojan's came out strong and ready to play ball and finally the weather was not a factor in the game. The Lady Trojan's battled back and forth with the bears, with some great defensive plays from Hannah McDermott in the field and Whitney Titus pitching at the mound with Raqeal Jensen catching. Shay Hatch had some spectacular catches at shortstop and throw outs to first. Aimee Sowder, Raqeal Jensen, Shay Hatch and Talisha Bambrough had a singles and Whitney Titus had a double, but Morgan could only bring in three runs. Bear River capitalized on Morgan's errors and won the game 13 to 3.
Morgan traveled to Salt Lake on May 3 2011 to play Judge Memorial.
Morgan came with their game face on, and stomped on the bulldogs. Shay Hatch went 2 to for 5 with two runs.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Way back in the pack heading into the final turn, Orb was calm even if his jockey wasn't.
Then trainer Shug McGaughey's bay colt picked up speed, churning through a sloppy track that resembled creamy peanut butter, and blew past rivals one-by-one.
By that time, jockey Joel Rosario knew he was aboard the Kentucky Derby winner.
Orb powered to a 2½-length victory Saturday at Churchill Downs, giving McGaughey and Rosario their first Derby wins.
"I was so far behind," Rosario said. "He was very relaxed, it's exactly what I wanted."
Rosario had Orb in the clear on the outside and they forged to the lead in deep stretch, with enough momentum to hold off 34-1 shot Golden Soul.
It was a popular victory before a crowd of 151,616, which poured enough late money on Orb to make him the 5-1 favorite, a position Revolutionary had owned most of the day.
McGaughey, a 62-year-old native of Lexington, finally got the Derby win he had long sought. Orb was just his second starter since 1989, when he settled for second after Sunday Silence beat Easy Goer on a muddy track.
"It means everything to me," the Hall of Famer said. "I've always dreamed of this day and it finally came."
The rain that pelted the track earlier in the day had stopped by the time 19 horses paraded to the post for the 139th Derby. But it created a gloppy surface, although didn't seem to bother Orb, who had never previously run on a wet track.
His triumph was a victory for the old school of racing, where a private trainer like McGaughey works exclusively for wealthy owners, in this case Stuart Janney and Ogden Mills "Dinny" Phipps.
The first cousins, among the sport's blue bloods that include the old-money Whitney and Vanderbilt families, also got their first gold Derby trophy.
Golden Soul was second. Revolutionary, one of trainer Todd Pletcher's five starters, was third. Normandy Invasion finished fourth.
Orb paid $12.80, $7.40 and $5.40. Golden Soul returned $38.60 and $19.40, while Revolutionary paid $5.40 to show.
History denied several fronts:
• Todd Pletcher's Derby record fell to 1 for 36 after sending out a record-tying five horses for the second time in his career. Besides Revolutionary, Charming Kitten was ninth; Overanalyze was 11th; early pacesetter Palace Malice was 12th; and previously unbeaten Verrazano was 14th.
• Rosie Napravnik's bid to become the first woman jockey to win ended with a fifth-place finish aboard Mylute. It was still the highest finish by a woman rider, bettering her ninth-place showing two years ago.
• Kevin Krigger failed in his attempt to be the first black jockey to win since 1902. He rode Goldencents to a 17th-place finish for trainer Doug O'Neill, who won last year with I'll Have Another. Rick Pitino owns 5 percent of the colt, who couldn't deliver a horses/hoops double for the coach of the national champion Louisville basketball team.
• D. Wayne Lukas missed out on becoming the oldest trainer to win at 77. He saddled two horses: Oxbow was sixth with 50-year-old Gary Stevens making a Derby comeback after seven years in retirement, and Will Take Charge was eighth.
Being from Lexington, McGaughey figured to be a regular Derby participant. But Orb was just his second starter since 1989, when McGaughey watched Easy Goer lose to Sunday Silence.
Orb also was the second Derby starter for both Janney and Phipps, whose previous entries were in 1988 and '89. Their family wealth allows them to race the horses they breed, unlike the majority of current owners who are involved through partnerships that split up the exorbitant costs of the sport.
The cousins' grandfather, Henry Phipps, founded wealth management firm Bessemer Trust in 1907. Janney serves as chairman, while Dinny Phipps is its director. He also chairs The Jockey Club, the sport's governing body that registers thoroughbreds, while Janney is vice chairman.

Flu cases moderate in Cabell
HUNTINGTON -- Health officials said Thursday they're seeing a moderate rise in flu cases locally, but not an alarming outbreak of widespread influenza as has been reported in West Virginia and 40 other states.
From Oct. 1 through the end of 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 22,048 flu cases and 2,257 flu-associated hospitalizations. In the same period in 2011, only 849 flu cases had been reported nationwide. More than 70 deaths nationwide -- primarily in the Midwest -- have been attributed to this flu season.
West Virginia is reporting only moderate levels of flu-like illness, according to a press release issued this week by the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine.
Dr. Harry Tweel, director of the Cabell-Huntington Health Department, said he believes the Tri-State is likely seeing the peak of its first flu season and the number of cases will begin to decline soon. A second flu season, he said, typically runs from late February through April.
"The reports we're hearing from our partners is that they're seeing a lot of flu cases, some a little more severe than an average year, but overall the flu is not any worse here than it has been in other years," Tweel said. "The flu is a little more virulent this year than some years, but it's typical of what we've seen from time to time."
The Associated Press reported that schools in Martin County, Ky., would remain closed for a second day Friday due to a flu outbreak, but local schools appear to have braved the flu season mostly unscathed.
Jedd Flowers, director of communications for Cabell County Public Schools, said local schools have been fortunate so far, and attendance figures are "pretty much normal" for this time of year.
Emergency departments at both St. Mary's Medical Center and Cabell Huntington Hospital reported increases in patients presenting with flu symptoms.
"So far we haven't seen what's being reported nationally with the rapid spread of influenza," said Libby Bosley, vice president of patient care at St. Mary's. "Of the flu patients who've been treated in our ER, a majority have been treated and released. We have admitted a few."
Bunny Smith, vice president and chief nursing officer at Cabell Huntington Hospital, said simple flu prevention techniques can halt the spread of the virus.
"Everyone should be practicing simple prevention techniques such as thorough hand-washing, avoiding close contact, and covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing to help prevent the spread of germs," Smith said.
In other parts of the country, the early onslaught of the flu has resulted in a spike in hospitalizations. To deal with the influx and protect other patients from getting sick, hospitals are restricting visits from children, requiring family members to wear masks and banning anyone with flu symptoms from maternity wards, according to the AP.
One hospital in Allentown, Pa., set up a tent this week for a steady stream of patients with flu symptoms. But so far "what we're seeing is a typical flu season," said Terry Burger, director of infection control and prevention for the hospital, Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest.
On Wednesday, Boston declared a public health emergency, with the city's hospitals counting about 1,500 emergency room visits since December by people with flu-like symptoms.
All the flu activity has led some to question whether this year's flu shot is working. While health officials are still analyzing the vaccine, early indications are that it's about 60 percent effective, which is in line with what's been seen in other years.
The vaccine is reformulated each year, based on experts' best guess of which strains of the virus will predominate. This year's vaccine is well-matched to what's going around. The government estimates that between a third and half of Americans have gotten the vaccine.
On average, about 24,000 Americans die each flu season, according to the CDC.
Tweel said many illnesses this time of year are mistaken for the flu, and he encouraged those who are really sick with flu symptoms, including fever, dry cough, sore throat, muscle aches and general fatigue, to avoid contact with others.
"It's important that we not share this virus around. If you're really sick with the flu -- muscle aches, coughing, fever -- stay home. Don't go out," Tweel said. "And I can't stress hand-washing enough."
Tweel also emphasized the importance and effectiveness of getting a flu vaccination. Influenza vaccination clinics are still available at the health department every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 to 11 a.m. or 1 to 3 p.m. Vaccines are recommended for anyone older than six months, particularly seniors and those who are pregnant. According to the CDC, more than 112 million Americans had received a vaccination by the end of November.
"I'm hearing rumors that the current vaccine does not include this flu strain, but it does," Tweel said. "It's definitely not too late to get vaccinated. I'd remind people that they probably won't have much immunity for at least 14 to 28 days after receiving it, but it's worth getting for the second flu go-round that hasn't even started yet."

For any NFL team looking for a superior linebacker, in upcoming draft there is lots to choose from these four are at the top of their class.
The top linebacker's name in the 2014 NFL Draft is Anthony Barr of UCLA. Having only played two years in college as a linebacker, Barr has established himself as a first round pick, possibly a top ten pick. Barr led the nation in sacks his junior year with 13.5.
Khalil Mack out of Buffalo is another top prospect in the upcoming NFL Draft. Mack was one of the best defensive players in college, setting school records, as well as setting an NCAA record with sixteen forced fumbles. Unlike Barr, Mack played linebacker all four years in college.
Ryan Shazier a dynamic player for Ohio State. Shazier has sideline to sideline speed, and is a solid tackler accounting for one hundred and fifteen tackles along with five sacks his junior year. Shazier was named an All-American in 2013 and will more than likely forgo his senior year and enter the 2014 NFL Draft.
Alabama C.J. Mosley mainly played middle linebacker, while the other prospects mentioned are outside linebackers. Alabama is known for consistently producing NFL players; Mosley looks to add to that. His senior year stats were not as prominent as his junior season, however he is still projected as a first rounder. He is currently listed as the number one middle linebacker in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Please be sure to like us Facebook at NFL Draft Insiders for additional information on the NFL Draft, NFL playoffs and more.

Did I win some kind of prize? ;-D
Looks like I got a prize too. The thanks, like and welcome buttons are missing too. Jordan's tinkerin's behind the scenes I suspect. :ghostface:
Noticed the same issue. Super-speedy MsMod.:m_spin:
Just happened to me. It's like Post-bling genie-in-a-bottle magic SuperCaliFragilisticExpealidocious magic.
Let - me - see...
Can't get anything by you! ;-D Jordan and I had this planned for a while now but decided yesterday that we'd implement the no moderation for anyone who has at least 250 posts. You'll need a few more, KJ, before yours will show up immediately. We figured if people were willing to stick around long enough to make that many posts under moderation, they should have a good handle on what is and isn't allowed. It will mean, though, that you'll no longer have the Ms. Mod safety net so be sure you're ready to hit that Post/Submit button. :wink:
Yeah, but the like/thank buttons? Did Toto run off with them *again*??
I'm still seeing them. :dunno:
Ohhhhh.....I think I get it. They don't show up on posts you make but you should still be seeing them for others.

Holland House 7' x 7' Greenhouse by Exaco
Item #857320
BEFORE ORDERING - Be sure to check your local building and zoning codes and ensure that all appropriate permits have been acquired.
The Holland House will provide years of enjoyment for the backyard gardening hobbyist. This greenhouse was developed in its onion shape to utilize the same positive structural features of professional high end greenhouses in the same design. This price conscious unit is perfect as a first greenhouse.
As with any arched structure, strength is derived when the top section gradually meets the sides. In snowy conditions, in addition to extra strength, accumulated snowfall will slide off the steep roof section. Internal airflow is also better which allows the small solar exhaust fan to move air upward along the sloping sides. For many of us, the onion shape gives us better head and shoulder space with which to move about freely. The sliding door allows easy access and allows the front to be placed where a hinged door may not work. Its decorative green finish and soft shape will blend in nicely to a backyard.
The Holland House comes with a 'C' shaped foundational frame to hold dirt or gravel and add stability to the overall structure, but the greenhouse can also be anchored to concrete or a wood deck. Also included is a louvered rear panel with five sections and a roof window for venting during hot summer days. In addition to the roof window, our special solar powered exhaust fan with thermostat will move hot air out when needed. The two shelves provided each run the full length of the greenhouse. The top shelf is 12" wide, and the bottom shelf is 24" wide. These shelves can provide plenty of planting space and winter storage space.

Mack dock question
not sure if this is the right form or not.
i have a MBP that is connected to a 24" Apple Cinema Display for editing.
my main hard drive is located on the MBP.
is there a way that i can have two docks appear on both monitors?
or can i only have one dock on the computer that stores my main hard drive?
any info would be great!
OS X only has one Dock by default, you can't create multiple docks for each monitor.
There may be some back-end hack way to do it, but I'm not familiar with one.

Local organizations join Giving Tuesday movementWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
After the long shopping weekend that follows Thanksgiving — Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday — local organizations hope area residents will set aside some money to donate to local organizations during Giving Tuesday.
The national Giving Tuesday campaign, set for Dec. 2, aims to create a day of giving and "raising funds and awareness for important causes everywhere," according to givingtuesday.org.
The campaign was started in New York two years ago by the 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation. Since then, community foundations across the country have gotten involved.
The Toledo Community Foundation is planning an initiative offering a matching grant for charities that register locally.
"We think it's a win-win," said Keith Burwell, president of Toledo Community Foundation. "It fits our mission of promoting philanthropy in the community."
Burwell said the donated money goes directly to the organizations.
"This is not a fundraising campaign for the foundation in any way; it's directly for the organizations in our community," he said.
Steps and guidelines for local organizations wanting to participate in the campaign are detailed on toledocf.org.
"We start with Thanksgiving. We go to Black Friday, we're told to spend, spend, spend. We go to Small Business Saturday, we're told to spend, spend, spend. We go to Cyber Monday, we're told to spend, spend, spend," Burwell said. "We think it's a great idea, on a Tuesday, to go right back where we started to give a little thanks and give back."
Food for Thought is among the many local organizations participating. The Downtown-based nonprofit is looking to purchase a box truck with funds raised on Giving Tuesday. The organization currently loads their items by hand and is looking for a more efficient way.
A used box truck with liftgate would cost around $8,000, said Jill Bunge, interim executive director at Food for Thought.
"It's a tangible item that we can source at a reasonable cost and it will allow us to do our food pickups much easier," Bunge said. "It's something that, as we're looking to increase service, would be such a huge help and save the backs of our drivers."
Bunge added that she has been in talks with other people in the area who would benefit from using the truck as well.
Bunge said Giving Tuesday offers a great way to kick off the giving season by supporting a local organization that provides "a gateway between poverty and prosperity" by serving meals to people in need.
"It's more than just the food. We try to engage folks [and] have a conversation," she said.
Girl Scouts
The Girl Scouts of Western Ohio is promoting the gift of girl power. Funds raised on Giving Tuesday will provide financial aid for the organization. The Girl Scouts have a policy of not turning away anyone who wants to join the organization and financial aid helps make that possible.
Funds will also support volunteers and outreach efforts.
"Giving Tuesday is just a way to celebrate giving and celebrate how philanthropy can change the world," said Major Gifts Manager Erin McPartland. "That's at the heart of what we do … we're building future philanthropic leaders."
The Girl Scouts are encouraging supporters to share why they donated on social media networks using #GiveGirlPower.
Lupus Foundation
The Lupus Foundation of America, Greater Ohio Chapter is also involved in Giving Tuesday. The group works to educate people about lupus and give support to those with the disease.
A local group meets at the Washington branch of the Toledo Public Library from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. every fourth Saturday of the month. This group will benefit from the funds as well.
"It's really important for people to keep in mind that there are a lot of nonprofits out there," said Marnie Burke, vice president of programs and patient services.
Bittersweet Farms
Whitehouse-based Bittersweet Farms will also be involved for the second year in a row.
The organization is looking to fund its growing horticulture program, which "enables individuals with autism to learn valuable work skills and benefit financially from the sale of Bittersweet's natural and nutritious products," according to a news release.
Bittersweet's board of directors will match the first $1,500 donated. The organization is also in need of gardening tools.
More organizations
The number of local organizations involved with Giving Tuesday is growing by the day. Burwell said the goal was to have 200 groups, and he is confident they will meet it. The full list can be found at toledocf.org.
Other organizations involved at press time include: A.D.A.M.S. House, The Arts Commission, Cherry Street Mission Ministries, Hannah's Socks, Partners In Education of Toledo, Planned Pethood, Heartbeat of Toledo, UpTown Association, Toledo School for the Arts, Habitat for Humanity of Wood County, Metroparks of Toledo Area, Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Ohio Theatre & Events Center, Children's Theatre Workshop, The iTaalk Autism Foundation, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Kidney Foundation of Northwest Ohio, ProMedica Foundation, Boys & Girls Clubs of Toledo, The Salvation Army, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Ohio, Special Olympics Toledo Public and more.

As Dimon told the Times, "This may not have violated the Volcker Rule, but it violates the Dimon Principle."
What is the Dimon Principle? If I were to guess, I'd say it's a command to JPMorgan staffers not to do anything that embarrasses the great and powerful Oz — I mean Jamie Dimon.
But to be fair, if Warren Buffett can't understand derivatives, who can? And to reinforce the rationale for the Volcker Rule, JPMorgan's $2 billion loss demonstrates eloquently that if anyone is going to be taking the risks involved with holding loans, bonds, or derivatives, they should not be financing those bets with other people's money.
This is one of the fundamental flaws of our financial system that seems to be unfixable — we create a class of wealthy traders that uses money from depositors and people other than themselves – to make bets with massive unknown unknowns.
If those bets just happen to pay off, the traders get their multi-million dollar bonuses. And if those bets lose money, the traders are not forced to pay back those bonuses. They merely shuffle off to another gambling parlor.
To be sure, this is a short-term embarrassment for Dimon. But Wall Street is a huge contributor to Washington — between 1999 and 2008, it gave $5 billion in lobbying fees and campaign contributions, according to the Center For Responsive Politics.
Money like that speaks louder to policymakers than the interests of everyone who deposits their money in a bank and hopes not to have it wiped out by Wall Street's bad bets.

Beyond Wealth: The Road Map to a Rich Life
by Alexander Green
Hardcover: 320 pages
Publisher: Wiley
List Price: $27.95
Your Price: $14.34
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Leo Tolstoy said, "Nobody knows where the human race is going. The highest wisdom, then, is to know where you are going." Yet many today chase the false rabbits of success: status, luxury, reputation and material possessions. In the quest to "have it all," our lives often lack real meaning and purpose. Beyond Wealth is the antidote.
New York Times bestselling author Alexander Green takes things right down to brass tacks: We are here for a short time. Knowledge is limitless. Therefore, the most critical knowledge is not any particular skill but rather wisdom about "how to live." Fortunately, men and women have had several thousand years to think about what it means to live "the good life." And the answers found here, from Plato and Aristotle to Mahatma Gandhi and Stephen Hawking, will both surprise and delight you.
Beyond Wealth provides insightful commentary on the most important aspects of our lives: love, work, honor, trust, freedom, death, fear, truth, beauty and other timeless issues. The book is both a thought provoking read and the ideal gift, guaranteed to ennoble, uplift and inspire.

Roberts, Lovett earned roles as Marshall captains
It's no surprise that when Marshall Thundering Herd football head coach Doc Holliday announced his game captains Tuesday, cornerbacks Darryl Roberts and Monterius Lovett were the defensive representatives.
Lovett had an interception against Virginia Tech and Roberts played blanket coverage for the majority of the game, even getting a deflection on the pass that ended up being a game-tying touchdown – a heartbreak, considering he had the perfect coverage and read on the play. Perhaps this week's defensive captain choices are just as much about what needs to be done as what they've done in the past, though.
While the Herd's veteran cornerbacks have been productive throughout the early stages of the season, it's nothing compared to what they will be needed to do this weekend against UTSA.
With the scheme that UTSA incorporates offensively, the pressure is completely on the secondary to step up and make plays.
And, it's not just in the passing game.
With many of UTSA's plays in the running game featuring outside sweeps and runs off the edge, the cornerbacks are going to be called on heavily for run support this weekend.
"If you look at their rushing stats and break it down, I bet 60 or 70 percent of their yards come from perimeter runs, whether it be speed sweeps, options or whatever it is," Holliday said. "That being the case, those guys up front aren't making a lot of plays." Because of that, the secondary cannot allow rushers — many of which will include wide receivers — to get on the outside, so they will need to get off their blocks on the edge and force running plays back inside.
"Those guys are going to have to tackle in that game and tackle extremely well," Holliday said. "They'll have to get off blocks, make sure they don't get chopped. It's going to be a lot of perimeter runs in this game that our guys have to do a great job of getting stopped, and our secondary is going to have to tackle extremely well in this game."
LOVELL IS GONE: Former starting left guard Josh Lovell has decided to leave the program, Holliday said.
Lovell lost his starting job in the early portion of the season to Sebastian Johansson.

Thank you Mr. Q for all the dancing I enjoyed through the years!
Let's not forget the MILLIONS of dollars the Army Corpse of Idiotneers spent on the dirt levy in Plaquemine Parish. They used dirt from their "dirt pit" located south and this dirt had saltwater intrusion as a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. They use the dirt anyway and because of the saltwater intrusion, nothing green would grow in this dirt. So every time it rained, the dirt turned to mud and melted and ran down on everyone's yards and homes. So I ask, how freakin smart is that????

I'm sick to death of these criminal POS's using abandoned properties as their criminal clubhouses. I can't believe the idiots that run this City can't figure this one out!
Oh - Wait - Yes I can believe it. I'd se surprised with the entire IQ total of these people running the NOLA show totaled 200!!!!!!!!

Wow - I remember that day very well!!!!!!

New Van Fan is a web-series that follows the adventures of long-time Canucks fan Dan as he attempts to bring novice Canucks fan Andreas up to speed. The whole thing may or may not be an excuse to point out the inherent silliness of this fanbase — we're not quite sure. Have an idea for an episode? Suggest it in the comments.
In some episodes, Dan and Andreas have flashes of cleverness. Snepsts Day, for instance, remains a high point.
But in other episodes, they're just two idiots, and "Green Men" is one such episode. The premise is simple: after seeing the green men and their unique brand of penalty-shaming amusement — Dan and Andreas decide to mimic the schtick. They end up looking like two buffoons. (So in a way, they nailed it.)
"The green men just did headstands! Outside the penalty box! That guy must feel like an IDIOT for taking that penalty! Haha!"
I sort of imagine that's what the green men assume everyone watching them is thinking.
Speaking of feeling like an idiot, the moment Dan and Andreas realize neither of them wearing actual pants is one of my favourites in the series.
Finally, this episode gives us a moment I think most male Canuck fans can relate to: when you're sitting there, wearing your homemade green man outfit, your best friend on one side of you in his black, full coverage, spandex bodysuit and the girl you're after on the other side, when suddenly, she demands to know when you'll be taking her on a real date. That's just Canucks fandom in a nutshell right there.Tags: New Van Fan, The YouTubes, videos

Tony Pulis recalls famous day Stoke City beat Reading to avoid the drop
Posted: February 09, 2013|
STOKE fans should always pay homage and give thanks to the day their team beat Reading at the Britannia Stadium.
It was back in May 2002 when Stoke had to beat the Royals on the last day of the season to ensure they didn't drop back into the third tier of English football.
Relegation could have spelt the end of the club's Premier League ambitions for another decade or two – and could have signalled a parting of the ways with manager Tony Pulis.
"Had that game not gone our way, we wouldn't have been here today, no chance," says Pulis unequivocally.

"I think the Icelandic people would have cut back and all sorts of things could have happened... all sorts.
"Staying in the Championship gave them the life to carry the club on and push the club on, but if we'd gone down to the third tier and they walked away, you could have been in all sorts of trouble.
"I've seen what's happened at other clubs when the owners walk away. It could have happened to us and you couldn't have blamed them.
"They invested a lot of money and I was their third manager that year. Gudjon Thordarson and Steve Cotterill had both left and I took over.
"It would have been very difficult for them to say 'we're still going to keep the thing going.'
"It's one of the defining moments in the club's history and it was a very important game, one I'll never forget."
The game was won in the second half when, with Brighton threatening to get the victory they needed at Grimsby and send Stoke down instead, Lewis Neal whipped in a left-wing cross for Ade Akinbiyi to head home in front of a jubilant Boothen End.
"For that reason alone, Ade Akinbiyi is the best loan signing I ever made," Pulis added. "I will always be indebted to Ade."
Victory over Reading that day was all the sweeter for Pulis because his friend (and rival) Alan Pardew was in the opposite dugout.
Today, however, there is the far more likeable and genteel figure of Brian McDermott at the helm for a Reading side pocketing 10 points from the last 12 to scamper out of the bottom three for just about the first time all season.
"Brian is a smashing football man," Pulis observed. "He's been chief scout there and he's also had a good playing career. Reading has been his club and it's lovely to see him leading them the way he is.
"Players there have worked tremendously hard for him and results over the past few weeks have surprised everybody, but probably not them because they have been working so hard and maintaining such a great spirit."
Reading's recent revival was probably spawned before the end of 2012 when McDermott visibly tightened up a team considered entertaining, but there for the taking.
Who can forget how they blew a 4-0 lead to eventually lose 7-5 at home to Arsenal in the Capital One Cup?
"I've watched their last three games," Pulis continued, "and they are different to when they first came into the Premier League at the start of the season.
"They are a lot more difficult to break down and they've got pace out wide in (Garath) McCleary and (Jimmy) Kebe... and they've spent a lot on their centre forward (Pavel Pogrebnyak)."
He might also have chucked in the name of Adam Le Fondre after his recent exploits earned him the Premier League player-of-the-month award for January.
Le Fondre has stepped off the bench in three of Reading's last four games to not only score five goals, but also make seven points for his club in the process.
No wonder they are talking about him in the same breath as Reading heroes of yesteryear like Kerry Dixon, Trevor Senior and Robin Friday.
