Super Bowl will be MAC-tasticWritten by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Much of this year's college football season was spent debating whether or not the "little guys" deserved a chance to play with the big boys, the little guys being football teams like Texas Christian and Boise State. Both the Horned Frogs and the Broncos proved their worth, ending the 2010 campaign ranked among the top-10 teams in the country in the AP Top 25 poll. TCU finished No. 2 after taking down then No. 4-ranked Wisconsin 21-19 in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, while Boise State finished No. 9 after dismantling then No. 20-ranked Utah 26-3 in the MAACO Bowl Dec. 22.
Each of the aforementioned football programs served as flagship teams for a lot of the smaller schools around the nation trying to prove that they can hang with bigger programs on any given Saturday. Toledo managed to pull off the upset in a 31-20 victory at Purdue on Sept. 25, the fifth-straight season the Mid-American Conference member Rockets took down a team from a BCS automatic qualifying conference. This year, that small school success has carried over onto the NFL's biggest stage.
When the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers do battle in Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium Feb. 6, 15 former MAC players will be participating. Pittsburgh has six former MAC players, while Green Bay features nine on its' roster from the conference. That number is tied with the Big Ten for second among FBS conferences, only trailing the Southeastern Conference, which leads the way with 18 former SEC players in the big game.
"It's huge," Toledo head coach Tim Beckman said in a phone interview with the Toledo Free Press. Beckman has coached in the MAC for a total of nine seasons between his head coaching position with the Rockets and his former job as the Defensive Coordinator and Assistant Head Coach for Bowling Green from 1998-2004. He has also coached in the Big Ten and Big 12 with Ohio State and Oklahoma State, respectively. "We've got great football players in this conference, and I'm very proud of them that [we've] got that many in the Super Bowl. I think ever since they've cut the scholarships down to 85, I mean it's definitely kind of evened out the masses of recruits.
"You've got the TCU's. You've got the Boise's, and the Utah's and Nevada's, and they're definitely the main non-BCS teams right now. Good football's being played throughout this country, and you see it each and every weekend."
What's more is that three of the best players in Super Bowl XLV are all former MAC players. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and linebacker James Harrison hailed from current MAC East Division schools Miami (OH) and Kent State, while Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings played at MAC West Division member Western Michigan. Beckman certainly remembers coaching against them.
"Playing against Jennings and Ben, both of them are great, great players," Beckman said. "I had to defend them. I'm sure that I've got some of this grey hair from trying to defend those two."
Locally, there are also a couple of players in this year's Super Bowl who once suited up in the Northwest Ohio area as members of the Falcons. Steelers' kicker Shaun Suisham and Packers' linebacker Diyral Briggs both played their college ball at Bowling Green. Suisham, who is in his first year with Pittsburgh after splitting the first five seasons of his career between Dallas and Washington, has made 14-of-15 field goal attempts and all 19 of his extra point attempts for the Steelers.
Suisham finished his career with the Falcons in 2004 as Bowling Green's all-time leading scorer with 361 points and holds school records for field goals made (45), extra points made (226) and extra points attempted (233).
"Shaun's a great kid," Beckman said of the former Falcon whom he spent four seasons with at Bowling Green. "I'm very proud of his career in the NFL. He won a lot of football games for us when he kicked for us."
According to an article dated Nov. 5, 2010 on the NCAA's website, the estimated probability of high school senior boys playing interscholastic football eventually being drafted by an NFL team was approximately 0.08 percent, or eight in 10,000. Given the odds, I think it's pretty cool that 15 former MAC players will be suiting up for the Super Bowl. I bet they and their families do, too.

Ryan Newman and Michael McDowell have crashed hard in the Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International, causing a stoppage just past the midpoint of the 90-lap race.
The violent wreck Sunday occurred coming out of a sweeping right turn leading to the backstretch on the 2.45-mile road course. Greg Biffle clipped the rear end of Newman's No. 31, setting off an accident involving at least five cars.
Newman's Chevrolet spun hard into the Armco barrier lining the track, ripping a big hole in the barrier's metal. The car then spun around twice and went back across the racing surface, collecting McDowell in his No. 95, which incurred heavy damage in the rear.
Newman, McDowell and Alex Bowman were treated in the infield care center and released.

HOUSTON -- A newspaper analysis shows that people living in traditionally black Harris County neighborhoods received a disproportionate share of letters advising them that they were in danger of having their voter registration canceled because they were presumed dead.
The Houston Chronicle reported Wednesday that its analysis of 9,000 notifications showed about a third coming from one county commission district established as a minority opportunity district.
Widespread complaints about attempts to purge the rolls of deceased voters led Harris County to call off any action prior to the Nov. 6 election. County officials say 32 percent of the voters who received the notices have confirmed that they are alive.
A September 2011 Texas law required the Secretary of State to compare Social Security death data to voter records and clean rolls.

1945 SE Water Ave.

While there's plenty to see and do at the museum, there's a lot that people don't know and never see. Whether it's a program you didn't know existed or a fun piece of OMSI history, there are many stories to tell!
I'd like to thank our resident curator, Lori Erickson, for her help in digging through the OMSI archives and collections room to uncover these hidden gems.
OMSI is well known today for our rotating featured exhibits. But when the museum first opened and for several years after, any exhibits that came to the building were there to stay. The first traveling featured exhibit was The Art of The Muppets, which visited OMSI summer of 1985. AOTM featured puppets and props from Jim Henson productions like Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, Land of Gorch, The Dark Crystal and Fraggle Rock. Visitors could take an audio tour narrated by Kermit the Frog, feel a touch wall of muppet fabric and see how puppeteers became their characters.
What is OMSI's oldest exhibit? That honor belongs to the Transparent Woman. She was built in Cologne, Germany in the 1950s and was the star attraction at our Washington Park building when it first opened. In a theater room in the lower level of the museum, the Transparent Woman would light up and rotate as she narrated a show about the human body. Today she remains on view in our Life Science Hall, and while she is silent, visitors can press a button for lung or liver and see the corresponding organ in her body light up.
Have you seen our bird egg collection? Every few years it makes an appearance on display and is always a visitor favorite. Among the collection are an Ostrich egg, Emu egg, Swallow eggs, Blackbird and Blue Jay eggs, and the artistic shells of the Pacific Black-bellied Plover egg. See the size comparison above for how varied these eggs are. Top left is the Ostrich, while the bottom features eggs of the tiny Cliff Swallow. Oology, or the study or bird eggs and nests became a popular pastime in the 1800s and was a respected science along with ornithology. Today it is illegal in many places to collect unbroken bird eggs.
OMSI is not just a museum but hosts and sponsors programs and events across Oregon, and in many other states as well. Visitors interested in the planetarium, astronomy and constellations should mark their calendars to attend an OMSI Star Party. These events take place throughout the spring and summer. Planetarium staff team up with Rose City and Vancouver sidewalk Astronomers to provide free stargazing and information nights at Rooster Rock State Park and L.L. Stub Stewart State Park. We provide the telescopes and binoculars, and you provide the wonder and enthusiasm!
In 1938 archeologist Luther Cressman excavated Fort Rock Cave, near a volcanic crater in central Oregon. In an old lakebed under a bed of volcanic ash, Cressman and his team came upon a worn, old sandal. And then they found another. And another. All in all there were 75 sandals hidden under the ash. The unique twine and sagebrush sandals were radiocarbon dated between 9,500 and 10,500 years old, making them the oldest form of footwear known to man! The volcanic ash the sandals were found in was later determined to be from the eruption of ancient Oregon volcano, Mt. Mazama (now home to Crater Lake). Some of the Fort Rock Sandals can be seen at The Museum of Natural and Cultural History at the University of Oregon. We have one here at OMSI that unfortunately can't be on public display – constant exposure to artificial light would bleach and damage the ancient fibers.

Two years ago, Kentucky All-Star coach David Jones broke from normal Hatfield-McCoy Bowl tradition.
Instead of limiting his pick of graduated senior football players from Pike, Martin, Johnson and Letcher counties, Jones tapped into the football-steeped hotbeds of Breathitt, Whitley and Bell counties and a few other places.
The scheme paid handsome dividends as Kentucky broke a seven-year losing streak to the West Virginia All-Stars and pummeled the Mountain State boys 30-14 in the final Hatfield-McCoy Bowl to be played at Matewan.
Last year, it went back on an even keel as Kentucky stayed within its usual four-county block and West Virginia drew its players from the usual Mingo, Logan, Wayne, Wyoming, Boone and McDowell counties.
Jones is back to lead the Kentucky All-Stars after a one-year absence.
He was likely to push the Hatfield-McCoy Bowl map westward and southward again.
Joey Fields knew this.
So Fields, came up with a pre-emptive strike.
He was going to expand the map as well.
It should turn out to make for a high-caliber football game as this year's clash is scheduled to be played on Saturday, Aug. 3 at Mingo Central High School's Buck Harless Stadium.
Kickoff is set for 8 p.m.
Fields returns as the West Virginia coach. Fields, a Mingo Central assistant coach under Senior Bowl founder and game director Yogi Kinder, led the West Virginia All-Stars to last year's 37-12 victory over Kentucky in the first Hatfield-McCoy Bowl to be played at the new Field-Turfed facility.
"David Jones did a good job making our game more known across both states by expanding the roster and getting more players outside of the local area the last time he coached it in 2011. I just followed that formula this year," Fields said. "All these players were stars on their own team. It's exciting to get them all in one jersey."
The staple of this year's West Virginia roster still come from the southern six-county area, but Fields has also added some players from the Huntington, Charleston and Beckley municipalities.
Fields has grabbed such players as: Davon Tyson of Capital; Gage Gould of Cabell Midland; Trevon Johnson of George Washington; Dominic Orcutt and Trevond Reese from South Charleston; and Andrew Johnson and Ramon Edwards II of Beckley Woodrow Wilson.
Logan County will be represented by seven players: Austin Watts and Brandon White of Chapmanville Regional; Brant Williams, Chris Marcum, Khaleel Reynolds and Teddy Nelson of Logan; and Marcus Murrell, the lone representative from Man High School.
Five players are from hometown Mingo Central: Garth Simpkins; Israel Reynolds; Joe May; Joe Hall; and Joe Jackson.
Mingo County will also be represented by a pair of Tug Valley players in Aaron Muncy and Issac Parsley.
Practices for the Senior Bowl begin for the West Virginia All-Stars on Monday at 6 p.m. at Buck Harless Stadium. Last year's inaugural bowl game at the brand new facility was a smashing success as around 4,000 fans were on hand at the game.
"I'm anxious and excited to get the week started," Fields said. "With a team like this it makes our job as coaches a lot easier. This game has always meant so much to me. I'm very grateful to have played and to have coached in it twice."
The Hatfield-McCoy Bowl serves as the unofficial kickoff to the high school football season each summer.
The game takes its name from the infamous family feud along the Tug River in the late 1800s between West Virginia's Hatfields and Kentucky's McCoy clan.
The Hatfield and McCoy feud was brought back into the national and worldwide spotlight in 2012 with the History Channel's highly-rated and critically-acclaimed TV miniseries Hatfields & McCoys starring Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton. Although the story is set in the West Virginia and Kentucky Appalachian mountains, the miniseries was shot in Romania with the Carpathians standing in for the Appalachians.
The TV series was re-aired over the weekend.
In addition, a 2012 episode of the History Channel's American Pickers reality show was also centered on the feud and filming was done in the Williamson and Matewan areas.
This coming Thursday at 10 p.m., History is airing a new reality show entitled: Hatfields & McCoys: White Lightning.

England's ancient city Cambridge continues to thrive
On the east coast of England are the fen lands of East Anglia, and in the heart of these lies the ancient city of Cambridge. It is a quiet city, a university city which boasts one of the oldest colleges in the world. Together with the university in the city of Oxford, it forms the British equivalent of our own Harvard and Yale.
People have lived here for more than 3,000 years, surrounded by miles of flat land dotted with many lakes and split by several rivers. It is a peaceful part of the world, but it has not always been so. During the Second World War, its very flatness and its proximity to Continental Europe made it an ideal base for heavy bomber aircraft.
From 1942 onward, the United States sent its young men and their airplanes here to carry out daring, daylight raids across the North Sea into the German occupied continent.
Unfortunately, daylight bombing inevitably meant casualties and more than one B17 or B24 Flying Fortress came limping back to this flat land with the bodies of crew members killed in action aboard. In 1943, to accommodate these mounting casualties, Cambridge University donated 30 acres of land at the village of Madingley, some three miles north of the city, to be a temporary resting place for the war dead.
Soon the cemetery was used for most of the American servicemen and women who died in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland as well as for some of the casualties brought home from North Africa, Sicily and Italy. After the war the American Battle Monuments Commission took over, employed architects and landscapers and the cemetery was officially dedicated in 1956.
Today it contains 3,809 pristine white headstones arranged in arcs. These mark the final resting place of 3,812 Americans who made the final sacrifice in World War II. Most of the men interred here are air crew who died in the skies over Europe and naval or merchant marine personnel who were killed in the North Atlantic convoys but there are also many soldiers who succumbed to their wounds.
The cemetery is approached along the A1303 St.Neots road. A hundred yards on either side of the entrance is a stone marker simply labeled "Cambridge American Cemetery." There is a small parking lot here adjacent to a low, grey building which is all that can be seen from the road.
Once inside, one is aware of an aura of peace and tranquility broken only by the twittering of birds in the trees of the Madingley Woods that surround the cemetery on two sides. Immediately behind the entrance is the flagpole platform where the stars and stripes fly every day of the year. Turn right from here, and you will see the Great Mall leading eastward with sidewalks of rose-colored gravel either side of a series of oblong, black pools that reflect the image of the white chapel at the far end.
The Great Mall is the best place to look and see the neatly trimmed lawn and the curves of the burial plots to the north. Turn to the south and there are the Tablets of the Missing, a long wall of white marble inscribed with the names of 5,127 men, the majority of whom died in the icy waters of the North Atlantic or whose aircraft did not make it back and whose bodies were never found. This wall is symbolically guarded by the statues of four American servicemen created by the American artist Wheeler Williams.
At the east end of the wall and the reflecting pool is the memorial and chapel that contains two huge military maps, stained glass windows bearing the state seals and military decorations, and a mosaic ceiling memorial honoring the dead of our air forces.
In addition to the members of the American forces who lie here there are another 18 American citizens who volunteered to serve with the British or Canadian air forces, a single officer of the Royal Canadian Air Force and one who served with the British Royal Armored Corps.
Rupert Brooke, a British poet who died in WWI, wrote a poem that contains the line "There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England." At Madingley, there is a corner of a foreign field that is forever America's. It is a beautiful place, a tranquil place, a suitable resting place for heroes. If any of you ever happen to be in the area it is more than worth your time to visit.

Though Computer Science Education Week coincides with final exams at Mississippi State, computer science majors and faculty at the university train teachers and inspire students to discover computer science year-round.
Held Dec. 9-15, CSEdWeek is a national initiative emphasizing the transformative role of computers, as well as the importance of attracting diverse students to computer science education, said Donna Resse, MSU computer science department head.
"Because of the difficult timing of finals week, we're trying to reach out to local Mississippi schools to help them participate," the John Grisham Master Teacher said. "Students need to be fully computer literate so they can use whatever tools might be developed."
Before Thanksgiving, MSU computer science master's candidate Joshua I. "Josh" Crowson, of Louisville, led a computer-programming workshop for teachers at Highland Elementary School in Ridgeland. As a 2009 elementary education graduate of the university, he was prepared to help the teachers better motivate their students to get excited about computer science, Reese explained.
Crowson showed the teachers how to use "Scratch," a Massachusetts Institute of Technology-designed interactive computer-programming tool designed for students ages 8-16.
During the first week of December, assistant professor Cindy Bethel visited students at the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science in Columbus to introduce the Finch robot. Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh developed the Finch, a computer-programing introductory bot.
"They are cool little robots. "They can play music, and they have a light in their nose," Reese said. "It's a cool thing to let the students listen to the music and write the program for the robots to dance."
Another aspect of 2013 CSEdWeek is the Hour of Code -- http://code.org -- an initiative encouraging 10 million students to write code during the week as they learn more about computer science. The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer programming, designed to demystify code and show that anyone can learn. Participants can visit the site any time during CSEdWeek.
While finals week at MSU is preventing department-wide emphasis and participation in the Hour of Code, Reese said she visited MSMS on Monday to discuss it and help with a corresponding activity. Organized by MSMS instructor Kendra Carr, a 2012 MSU computer science master's graduate, the Hour of Code activity included her students in introductory programming and robotics.
CSEdWeek is important for encouraging a broad range of students to pursue computer science education, Reese emphasized.
"We certainly need more students and a broad diversity of people involved in coding and the development of technology, so their products will be more likely to meet the needs of the users," she said. "We hope the activities this week encourage more students to think about a computer-oriented major."

White House blasts House GOP on DREAMer amendment
White House press secretary Jay Carney blasted House Republicans on Thursday for passing an amendment blocking funding for an Obama directive to stop deporting DREAMers -- children who were brought to America illegally by their parents.
"As the Senate prepares to debate bipartisan commonsense immigration reform next week, House Republicans chose to spend today passing an extreme amendment to strip protections from 'Dreamers.'" Carney said in a statement. "These are productive members of society who were brought here as young children, grew up in our communities, and became American in every way but on paper.
"This amendment, sponsored by Rep. Steve King, runs contrary to our most deeply-held values as Americans. It asks law enforcement to treat these Dreamers the same way as they would violent criminals. It's wrong. It's not who we are. And it will not become law."

Billy's took Magnolia's business model and recipes and did it better. With the exception of the staff. They have some of the nastiest demeanors I have seen in a service industry business. You could at least make eye contact when you take people's money ladies and gentlemen.

In my opinion, Billy's makes the best cupcakes in New York. The price is good. What else could you need to know?
Posted by Rosa on 12/28/2010
Billy's has the BEST banana cake in town. I was introduced to the banana cake when I walked in one day and was not sure if I should purchase a slice. I went ahead and purchased a few cupcakes and they gave me a free banana cupcake to sample. Of course, before I left the store I purchased a slice.

Billys us such a cute little place..I bought the red velvet, carrot cupcakes and a key lime cheesecake ..they were good..nothing bad about billys.. I think a little bit to much $$ for there desserts
Posted by Pretty on 05/18/2010
they don't greet you when you walk in or even seem like they want to work. They have a bogus policy about giving boxes ,must have 3 cupcakes or more. After several request for a box for the two cupcakes i bought for someone as a gift, i still got denied for a box and walked out of there feeling un happy. i will never buy anything from there again.

cupcakes are very dry. cheesecakes are good, especially the pumpkin
Posted by cupcakelover on 02/19/2009
i've been to billy's a couple of times now, always wanting to give them another chance and every time i try a few different choices with friends. the first time i thought it was maybe an off-day, an off-batch, whatever. the second time i realized that the cupcakes are just really dry.

As Alex Abrami noted in today's story from the Vermont Interscholastic Football League's annual fall meeting, a lengthy and spirited discussion broke out on the topic of divisional alignment — which makes sense. No matter the sport, it's never an easy topic. Everyone wants to compete, stay healthy and all the while off-field circumstances (enrollment, participation) are in a constant state of flux.
Currently the state's three divisions look like this:
• Division I: BFA-St. Albans, Brattleboro, Burlington, Champlain Valley, Colchester, Essex, Hartford, Middlebury, Mount Anthony, Mount Mansfield, Rutland, South Burlington, St. Johnsbury.
• Division II: Bellows Falls, Burr and Burton, Fair Haven, Lyndon, Milton, North Country, Rice, Spaulding.
• Division III: BFA-Fairfax, Mill River, Mount Abraham, Mount St. Joseph, Otter Valley, Oxbow, Poultney, Springfield, U-32, Windsor, Winooski, Woodstock.
That list doesn't include Montpelier, which did not field a varsity football team this year in D-III after injuries and already-low numbers shortened its 2012 campaign. Winooski could soon find itself in the same boat, coach Josh Safran said Monday, with only 10 players in the program heading into next year after the graduation of seven seniors. He said it's "a coin-flip" at this point if he can field a team next year.
Some coaches advocated for a return to four divisions — the state had four divisions from 1992 to 2006. Others voiced support for keeping three divisions but having the top two flights carry 12 or 13 teams each.
Currently, the VIFL considers VPA enrollment numbers, program participation numbers, petitions and recent history when determining which division teams call home. But plenty of imbalance still results within two-year alignment cycles as teams experience highs and lows in talent and participation. It could be argued that the VPA enrollment numbers — for grades 9-12 — indiscriminately penalize teams (in any sport) that graduate a pile of seniors and deal with low numbers for two years.
And within the larger divisions the last two years, it's been haves-vs.-have-nots. In a 12-team D-III this year, the bottom half of the league was a combined 11-41. In 2012, the bottom half of that division (four teams) and the two teams with the worst records that ended up leaving D-II for D-III were a combined 9-45.
So with a working knowledge of school size and programs' success, size, and health — Burlington and Winooski, while not the smallest schools in their divisions, feature diverse demographics that significantly trim the base of players who grow up with football — I sketched out a couple possibilities for how a new lineup might look.
(One caveat: It would be hard to argue against keeping Middlebury and Hartford, by far the two smallest D-I schools, out of the top league considering the Hurricanes have won five of the last seven crowns and the Tigers just went undefeated. Both have rich football traditions the past 15 years.)
A potential four-division alignment, which each team's combined record last two years:
• D-I (nine teams, all currently D-I): BFA-St. Albans (12-8), Brattleboro (5-13), Champlain Valley (12-7), Essex (12-7), Hartford (17-3), Middlebury (17-3), Rutland (9-8), South Burlington (13-7), St. Johnsbury (5-13).
• D-II (eight teams): Burlington (6-11 in D-I), Burr and Burton (10-9 in D-II), Colchester (8-10 in D-I), Lyndon (14-6 in D-II), Mount Anthony (2-15 in D-I), Mount Mansfield (7-11 in D-I), Rice (19-2 in D-II), Spaulding (2-16 in D-I/II).
• D-III (eight teams): Bellows Falls (15-6 in D-II), Fair Haven (11-8 in D-II), Mill River (16-5), Milton (10-8 in D-II), Otter Valley (8-10 in D-II/III), North Country (0-18 in D-II), U-32 (9-9 in D-II/III), Woodstock (22-0 in D-III).
• D-IV (eight teams, all currently in D-III): BFA-Fairfax (15-5), Mount Abraham (12-8), Mount St. Joseph (2-16), Oxbow (6-12), Poultney (8-10), Springfield (1-16 in D-II/III), Windsor (7-10), Winooski (3-15 in D-III).
Another proposal was for two larger divisions and a third, smaller division. This breakdown seems fair but the idea is less appealing to me because of the volatility and disparity in enrollment across a 12- or 13-team cross-section of schools. Those schools will all likely remain the same relative size but the same haves-vs.-have-nots scenario would likely play out from year to year.
The small-school division could stay mostly the same — Fairfax, Mount Abraham and Springfield are outliers in size but the Bullets and Eagles have newer programs and Springfield had to cancel games in 2012 for low numbers.
A possible look for that setup could be, with boy enrollment in parentheses from VPA's preseason numbers:
• D-I: BFA-St. Albans (524), Brattleboro (459), Burlington (535), Champlain Valley (675), Colchester (399), Essex (658), Hartford (317), Middlebury (342), Mount Anthony (507), Mount Mansfield (480), Rutland (474), South Burlington (451), St. Johnsbury (520).
• D-II: Bellows Falls (197), Burr and Burton (339), Fair Haven (218), Lyndon (319), Mill River (207), Milton (289), Otter Valley (203), North Country (468), Rice (183), Spaulding (403), U-32 (258), Woodstock (190).
• D-III: BFA-Fairfax (169), Mount Abraham (253), Mount St. Joseph (46), Oxbow (173), Poultney (93), Springfield (248), Windsor (101), Winooski (128).
Frankly, I wouldn't be against re-aligning every year using a system like New York's. Across the border, the enrollment numbers for a year are based on schools' student populations in grades 9-11 for the year before. That eliminates unfairly penalizing a school for an exceptionally large senior class.
The big issue seems to be keeping a fair level of competition and letting small programs stay healthy. Maybe these two ideas are food for thought. Feel free to weigh in with your ideas in the comment section below.

About Iggy and the Stooges (Updated 12/2/2013)
Once upon a time there was a band named The Stooges. No, we're not talking about the 3 Stooges. That's a TV thing. We're talking about the group that brought to life the underbelly of sex, drugs and rock & roll. Which is to say they were lewd, vulgar and any other synonym we could probably stuff in this biography.
Their initial trip around the sun lasted just three albums before the Stooges disbanded, but then a funny thing happened – Iggy Pop became a cultural icon. So there they were again in 2007, some 30 years after their last release ("Raw Power" in 1973), putting out an album titled "The Weirdness." The project was culled from 22 new songs written by Pop and the Ashetons and bowed in March 2007, followed by a major world tour.
It was the reunion of the band that proved to be the catalyst for Iggy and the Stooges playing anywhere and everywhere. They spent Iggy Pop's 60th birthday on the stage of San Francisco's Warfield Theater, toured with the Lollapalooza Festival and ended up making the rounds on no fewer than five continents. But tragedy struck when guitarist Ron Ahseton was found dead in his home on January 6, 2009 at the age of 60. In an official statement, the band called him "irreplaceable."
In May 2009, the band continued on with James Williamson returning as guitarist. The band earned induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the following year, and in February 2013, Iggy Pop reunited with the Stooges to release "Ready to Die."

A few months ago, the Coast Guard did something that was previously considered unthinkable. Not only was the annual Tuition Assistance "cap" cut by 50%, "Coasties" also discovered they would have to pay 25% of the tuition for their off-duty classes. And the "revisions" may not end there. The other branches of the armed forces are reportedly studying the Coast Guard's lead and may implement similar policies in the near future.
So, how can military members balance their educational goals against shrinking benefit programs?
Here are a few suggestions:
1) Make a Plan. Determine your education goals and formulate a plan for achieving them, setting a realistic timetable and utilizing all available benefit programs.
2) Choose Your College Carefully. Look for an institution that is regionally-accredited and offers degree, certificate and vocational programs that meet your career plans. Shop around and compare cost, access and quality—then pick the school that's right for you. Thomas Nelson Community College offers more than 140 degree and certificate programs, with affordable tuition and a well-deserved reputation as a "military friendly" school.
3) Implement Alternate Strategies. Can't use TA right now? Consider tapping into our GI Bill benefits to get a start on your education. But remember: using your GI Bill while on active duty means fewer months of benefits once you leave the service. Additionally, some military members qualify for Pell Grants and there are tons of scholarships for active-duty personnel, veterans and dependents.
4) Don't Forget about CLEP and DANTES credit. Many institutions allow military students to bring an unlimited amount of CLEP and DANTES credit into a degree program. These exams are offered at many military installations—at no cost to the service member—and the minimum passing score is well below what's required in most on-line or in-residence courses. Study guides are usually available at base libraries, making it even easier to prepare for—and pass—a CLEP or DANTES exam.
5) Ask for a Transcript Evaluation. A growing number of colleges and universities will provide a preliminary transcript evaluation for prospective students, before they make an enrollment decision. It's a great tool for determining the number of transfer hours you'll receive and how long it will take to finish your degree.
6) Leverage Existing Credits. Why start from scratch if you can utilize credits previously earned at other schools, from CLEP/DANTES exams, or from your military training and education? Knowing "where you stand" (before you enroll) will save time and allow you to get the most "bang" for your education benefits.
Finally, a cautionary tale about the hazards of poor educational planning and preparation. A few years ago, a sailor was medically discharged at Naval Station Norfolk. During his 13 years in the Navy, he served as a nuclear reactor technician and an intelligence analyst—meaning he graduated from two of the toughest tech schools in the military, and earned plenty of educational credits in the process (his nuclear school credits alone would give him 31 hours in math and science at TNCC). Unfortunately, the sailor decided to return home for college, with his wife and four children in tow.
He was admitted to the University of Missouri, but upon enrollment, the former sailor was stunned to learn that the university would not accept any of his military education and training. So, at the age of 33, he was forced to start over, using his GI Bill benefits to pay for freshman-level math and science classes, covering material he had mastered years before. Shame on the University of Missouri for rejecting his military credits, but the veteran is also at fault. With a little research and planning, he could have avoided the academic nightmare in Columbia and made better use of his educational benefits.
Gary Pounder, Director of Military Affairs and Contract Credit with Thomas Nelson Workforce Training & Continuing Education, has a substantial wealth of knowledge in academia and military.

Accessibility features in the new releaseJul. 26th, 2013 11:30 pm
The big thing: at the request of magnification users, primarily, we now have "skip to main content" links, woo! They are invisible in most cases, but they are the first thing on the page if you use a screen reader or if you tab from the top of the page. They currently only work in site schemed pages (pages that look like the DW home page, not pages that look like reading pages or journals; that's probably coming). Caveats by browser:
- Firefox and Internet Explorer should just work
- Safari works if you enable tabbed browsing, from the Safari menu pull down and select "Preferences", Click on the "Advanced" icon and check the box next to "Press tab to highlight each item on a webpage". Chrome might have the same issue, I'm not sure.
- Opera, sadly, cannot work, because of implementation issues.
The two small things are alt text now exists on the dreamwidth logo, and the video direct link has moved out of the outlined placeholder box. I haven't fixed the duplicating link, though, so that's still mostly aesthetic.
There's also some FAQ and doc clarification, which is always an accessibility help.
Also come to think of it there is a real cognitive win in the new feature on the beta create entries page, where if you pick a custom access filter it tells you who is on the filter.

Lake Placid A new partnership with the foundation looking to bring the Empire State Summer Games back will also prove beneficial for the annual Winter Games here.
James McKenna and Sandy Caligiore announced the partnership with the Empire State Sports Foundation of Rochester Oct. 4.
"We started this discussion to put both games under the same major brand during the last winter games," McKenna said. "We will now have one voice when it comes to attracting sponsorships and getting people motivated for the games."
McKenna said that having a central foundation to market the games will help bring in more revenue through sponsorships and advertising, which will allow both events to grow.
"Our goal is getting youth involved in sports and we have to be something that is well rounded," he said. "You have this new wave of sports that are becoming part of the winter landscape and we want to expand the number of sports that are involved. Through this partnership, we will be in a better position to grow to that level by being a partner with the foundation."
McKenna added that he felt the partnership with the Empire State Sports Foundation would help the winter games reach their goals.
"We started this new venture three years ago with eight municipalities and a lot of private sector sponsors," he said. "Our intent has always been to grow these games so they become one of the premier multi-sport events in the United States, and this is going to help us accomplish that."
"This is definitely going to help us state wide," Caligiore said. "With the foundation, they will help us with attracting sponsors and other things, but we will maintain the autonomy to run the games the way that we have been running them for over three decades."
Caligiore said that the purpose of the games were to continue to involve youth athletes in olympic sporting events, including Tucker West, who raced at the Winter ESG and helped win a gold medal in the recent Youth Winter Olympics.

During a recent press event, I did just that (with a trio of Codemasters reps in place of my best buds), playing through the eighth stage of the campaign; a convoy mission where your squad is tasked with clearing out various checkpoints across a vast field leading up to a hillside castle assault. Once I got my settings in order (no inverted look, aim assist off, crosshairs on, thank you very much), I found the real draw of Red River: just going into battle with your buddies.
%Gallery-118917% Fighting alongside three human squadmates was intuitive and interesting, and as we made our way through the various checkpoints, clearing out buildings of enemies from the map, we began to bond as a unit. We learned to call flanks, hold ranks and generally support each other, both with gunfire and by pulling each other up off of the ground occasionally.
There was a story carrying on in the background (featuring an extremely foul-mouthed Sergeant named Knox), but I mostly ignored it -- drawn in by the fun we created ourselves. The "game" never got in our way, and that's intentional, says creative director Sion Lenton. Codemasters has tried to design Red River to be more accessible not necessarily by making it a more "casual" shooter, but by allowing you to play it as you like. "We're trying to give you better tools," he says. One player can play with the full UI and assistance on, and another can play with none of the helping options; and both can enjoy a solid military simulation.
Red Rising includes four player classes -- Grenadier, Scout, Rifleman and Automatic Rifleman -- with each further customized through weapon and equipment loadouts. As you play the game, you're awarded XP, and leveling up unlocks new sights, magazines and additional equipment. As is standard for the Operation Flashpoint series, realistic physics are in play, so bullets drop over distance and ricochet, and each gun handles uniquely.
There are also "progression points" earned in the campaign, and those can be spent on personal skills outside of the class system. So, you can customize a character even further towards your playstyle by creating, for instance, a Scout that can take a few extra hits, or a Rifleman that's faster than average. The customization isn't quite as deep as in Call of Duty's multiplayer, but it is more realistic -- you won't be unlocking remote-controlled cars or goofy sights.
Lenton emphasizes the developers' focus on co-op, "a scenario that I think is going to really take off" across gaming as a whole (if it hasn't already). That's not to say competitive multiplayer will never return to the series. "Red River is the next step in Flashpoint, but we've already got bigger plans," he says. "We've already started looking at the next version, as well." As for this game, the team is focused on the April 26 launch, though Lenton teases that new weapons and co-op maps are likely to be offered through post-release DLC, depending on the game's success.
That success won't come easy -- Operation Flashpoint: Red River appears to be a somewhat standard entry in the competitive and saturated shooter genre. But for a group of friends down for a more tactical experience than your go-to blockbuster shooter can offer, Red River could be worth a look.

Video:How to Treat Dog Biteswith Rod Brouhard
Dog bites are common, but they can be treated quickly and effectively if you know what to do. Find out how to treat dog bites.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Treat Dog BitesAs much as humans interact with canines, dog bites are common, especially in children. Responding to a dog bite should always start with the safety of all involved, including the victim, the rescuer, and if possible, the dog.
Secure the VictimStay Safe. Secure the dog or the victim. Move one away from the other. If the dog's owner is around, instruct him or her to secure the dog. If not, move the victim to a safe location. Don't start any treatment until there is a reasonable expectation that the dog won't attack again.
Control BleedingIf you are not the victim, practice universal precautions and wear personal protective equipment if available.
Control any bleeding by following the appropriate steps. Avoid using a tourniquet unless there is severe bleeding that cannot be controlled any other way.
Clean and Dress the WoundOnce the bleeding is controlled, clean the wound with soap and warm water. Do not be afraid to clean inside the wound. Be sure to rinse all the soap away, or it will cause irritation later.
Cover the wound with a clean, dry dressing. You can put antibiotic ointment on the wound before covering.
Beware of InfectionWatch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, heat, and weeping pus. Always call a physician to determine if you should be examined. Some dog bites need antibiotics, particularly if they are deep puncture wounds. Additionally, many municipalities have regulations for reporting dog bites and monitoring the dogs, and that is often initiated by contact with a doctor.
Any unidentified dog runs the risk of carrying rabies. If the dog cannot be identified and the owner cannot show proof of rabies vaccination, the victim must seek medical attention. Rabies is always fatal to humans if not treated.
When a Dog Bite Needs Further AttentionThe wound may need stitches. If the edges of a laceration are unable to touch, or if there are any convulsions, the wound will need emergency medical attention. Wounds on the face or hands should be seen by a physician because of the likelihood of scarring and loss of function.

Why are so many of our Olympic athletes privately educated?
It won't surprise many people to learn that the British Olympian selected to carry Team GB's flag at the opening ceremony tomorrow went to a private school. Triple gold medallist
Sir Chris Hoy
attended George Watson's College, a Scottish independent school established in 1741. Annual fees are a fraction under £10,000.
Earlier this month,
the Prime Minister complained
that a third of the athletes representing Britain at the Games were privately educated and blamed state schools for failing to encourage sporting excellence. As several commentators pointed out, that was a bit rich given that the last Conservative government did little to discourage comprehensives from selling off their playing fields.
In a sense, though, the Prime Minister – and these commentators – are missing the point since the "all must win prizes" philosophy of the average state school extends far beyond the sports field. It applies to excellence across the board. In too many comprehensives, children are discouraged from trying to stand out in any area. This is partly because the teachers don't want them to be disappointed, but mainly because they think ordinary, common-or-garden children aren't entitled to life's glittering prizes.
It was this attitude that Bradley Wiggins, the first Briton to win the Tour de France, had to overcome at St Augustine's Church of England High School in Kilburn. In a piece about his old PE master in
the Times Educational Supplement (TES)
, Wiggins contrasted Mr Gaunt's "can do" attitude with that of the rest of the staff. "When I told most other teachers that I wanted to win an Olympic gold in cycling, they dismissed it as crazy," he wrote. "They said: 'How many inner-city kids do that?'"
Tom Daley, the diving prodigy who is one of Britain's brightest Olympic hopes, encountered
a similar attitude
at Eggbuckland Community College in Plymouth. On its website, the school
describes itself
as a "Centre of Excellence for e-learning", but Daley's achievements certainly weren't celebrated. His parents were forced to transfer him to a private school after he was bullied by his fellow pupils. Like the staff at St Augustine's, they didn't approve of children getting above themselves.
The charitable view is that this attitude is largely unconscious, particularly on the part of teachers. I've always thought of the English class system as being like some sinister organism in a science fiction movie, prompting people to do it's bidding by exerting some mysterious, hypnotic force. We desperately want to escape its influence – it literally has no defenders – and yet we remain in its grip.
But while that may be partly true, some teachers in state schools are quite overtly anti-aspirational. Earlier this year, the TES published
a piece by a maths teacher at a Sixth Form College in Norfolk
in which he complained about a particular pupil who was desperate to get into Cambridge. "Sometimes, ambitious children need to slow down," he wrote. In the piece, he recounts a conversation with the boy in which he tells him to stop worrying about where he ends up. "What's better?" he asks him. "To go to Cambridge with three As and hate it or to go to Bangor with three Cs and love it?"
As a state school boy at Oxford, I joined a "community outreach" programme whereby I was dispatched to various inner-city comprehensives to encourage the sixth formers to apply and met with almost no success. The stumbling block wasn't a lack of ability or even a lack of knowledge. It was the children's unshakable conviction that Oxford wasn't for the likes of them. Academic excellence – like sporting excellence – was the sole preserve of the privileged elite. That was the message that had been drummed into them from the age of 11 by teachers who thought they should know their place.
If we're going to see a British Olympic team that reflects the socio-economic profile of contemporary Britain, we need to do something about what George W Bush called "the soft bigotry of low expectations". On the last day of term at the West London Free School I gave a speech in which I encouraged the children to be inspired by the Olympic motto: Citius, Altius, Fortius. "When you come back next term, I want you to run faster, aim higher, be stronger," I said.
It is only if we start telling all children that there's no limit to what they can achieve, no matter what their background, that we will stand a chance of defeating our monstrous class system.

iPad mini revealed
This week the folks at Apple have revealed the iPad mini, a device that's smaller than the 4th Generation iPad and bringing with it a hand-held design. This unit brings on "not just a smaller iPad", but a totally re-vamped design - so says Apple. This unit brings on a 7.2mm body, that being 23% smaller than the iPad 3. This unit is .68 lbs as well - that's thin as a pencil and heavy as a pad of paper.
