This year's feature race at the 47th renewal of the Aiken Spring Steeplechase includes the past two winners of the Imperial Cup. Irv Naylor's Pullyourfingerout is an Irish horse that won the 2012 edition of the race by 11¾-lenghts against a short field. Today, Pullyourfingerout will have the 2011 winner as one of his rivals, as Nicole Perry's Oakwood Stable's Country Cousin is also in the field. Both are among the entries for the 2-mile Grade 3, $50,000 Budweiser Imperial Cup over national fences at Ford Conger Field.
Also in the field is Sue Sensor's graded stakes winner, Sunshine Numbers. The 2009-10 New York-bred Steeplechase Horse of the Year previously won the 2011 Grade 3 Carolina Cup at Springdale Race Course and the 2012 Hobkirk Hill allowance race at Springdale last fall. Another runner is Clorevia Farm's Extraextraordinary, a 6-year-old son of Giant's Causeway conditioned by Doug Fout. Extraextraordinary won twice in 2012, including a starter allowance his last time out at Great Meadow in his final start of the year. He has been assigned 144 pounds and will be ridden by Jeff Murphy.
"I'm looking forward to it," Fout said Wednesday. "He's been training all winter and training great."
Rounding out the field is the durable campaigner and multiple-allowance winner Cuse. Karen Gray's 12-year-old New York-bred gelding, has made 75 lifetime starts and the veteran campaigner has shown no signs of slowing down.
He won a 2⅛-mile allowance race Oct. 6 at Middleburg by 5¾-lengths, the second of his two victories in 2012, after winning earlier in the year at Stoneybrook. Jockey Gustav Dahl will ride, and Cuse will be the race's lightweight, carrying 140 pounds.
The 11-year-old dark bay gelding Sunshine Numbers, has been assigned 150 pounds, and won his last start in 2012, scoring a 10½-length win under the confident handling of his trainer Arch Kingsley, Jr. The leading steeplechase jockey by money earned in 1997 and 1999 will be in the irons on Saturday. Sunshine Numbers' win in the 2011 Carolina Cup by 27¼-lengths with jockey Jody Petty up, still has people talking.
"He's as happy as he can be," Kingsley, Jr. said Wednesday. "He's an old war horse. His heart's in it as much as ever."
The 2012 winner of the Imperial Cup is coming off a 364-day layoff, and will be saddled by a new trainer for this year's race. Jockey Ross Geraghty will get the return call on Pullyourfingerout, but trainer Brianne Slater will saddle the 6-year-old son of Indian Haven (GB). The stakes winner had been previously conditioned by J.W. Delozier, III. Pullyourfingerout will carry 148 pounds.
The 2011 winner, Country Cousin, is the race's heavyweight with an impost of 152 pounds. Country Cousin's coming off a second-place effort in last week's Charleston Trials in a 1 3/8-mile race on the turf. Jockey Roddy MacKenzie gets the return call on the 10-year-old son of Lear Fan. The dark bay gelding who spent the winter at W.C. and Iris Freeman's Chime Bell Farm is conditioned by Julie Gomena. Country Cousin placed second in three consecutive stakes in 2012; including the Grade 3 Carolina Cup, Grade 3 Temple Gwathmey Hurdle Handicap, and the Grade 2 Marcellus Frost Handicap.

What to Know on Interview Day
Everyone knows the importance of a first impression, and an interview is no exception to that rule. Whether or not your interview has a positive outcome may very well be determined within the first few minutes you meet with members of the company's team. Therefore, it can not be stressed enough that you must put the time and effort into being as best prepared as possible. In order to accomplish that, make sure you have a simple checklist and go through each of these steps. They are as follows:
Do your best to get a list of the people you will be meeting with.
Know the dress code to make sure you blend in as well as possible.
Know the company location.
Make sure you know the details of the position you will be interviewing for.
Try to get an itinerary for the interview.
Be up-to-date on the company.
These do not have to be completed in any particular order, but each has a high level of importance.
Prior to the interview, ask the company who you will be meeting with. Sometimes the company will not oblige with your request, but most often they will. This is a potential key to your success on interview day. With the tools that are available today at your disposal, you should be able to get details on each of the team member's background.
A good place to start is with your social network tool of choice (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.). By locating each individual, you should be able to get an idea of their background and perhaps get clues into their technical strengths. By doing this, you should hopefully be able to find some similarities with a few, if not all, of the member's of the team. Whether it be something as simple as you growing up in the same area as a team member to having the same interest in a particular open source project, this will benefit you greatly. People who can carry a conversation and find likenesses with one another tend to do extraordinarily well on interview day.
Knowing the dress code of the company is a subtle reminder of a detail that more often than not is taken for granted. A number of people might consider it to be a minor detail, but it still carries a high level of importance. Believe it or not, I have witnessed on a few occasions a person not being considered for a position solely based on their dress, even though they displayed the necessary skill set. Thus, do not let something that is so easy to overcome be a detriment to you on interview day. More often than not, in the technology space, a safe bet is to dress business casual. That always seems to be the de facto standard. But, it never hurts to ask. Rarely is a group more formal than that, but there are times when they are more casual. Nonetheless, even if you are dressed business casual and the rest of the team is in shorts and flip flops, you are going to be OK. Just do not bring out the suit in that instance. You will be looked at as too stiff for their group. On the flip side, I have witnessed a candidate show up in shorts and flip flops with the rest of the team being business casual, and they have taken his/her dress as a lack of respect for their company. At the end of the day, play it safe.
Know where you are going to be heading on interview day. It is another detail that sometimes gets overlooked to the candidates demise. I have heard candidates tell me that they failed an interview due to them either running late or going to the wrong location. It is important that you know how long it is going to take you to get to their location. Everyone is aware of the possibility of there being a car accident or some other traffic situation that makes you late. No matter, make sure you take the companies phone number with you. If you happen to run into traffic, call the company and notify them. There is not anything worse than a team sitting around waiting for you, and you not showing up on time unannounced. That gets you off to a bad start right off the bat. Also, make sure you have the right location. I have seen where people will just look up the address of the company on the corporate web site and go to that location. But, what if this particular team is located in a satellite office that is not listed on their site? In the event that is the case, you will miss the interview time which lowers your chance of success.
Another key factor in a positive outcome of your interview is knowing the details of the position you are interviewing for. This will assist in your preparation. If you have a varied background and have been away from a particular language that they are looking for for the last year, take the time to brush up on it. In addition, perhaps there are ten key items that the company is looking for in an individual, but you only possess eight; try to not only stress those eight but also be prepared to explain the measures you are willing to take to get up to speed on the other two. Or, perhaps other experience that you have will make up for this deficiency. Knowing exactly what they are looking for will only assist you in a successful interview.
If possible, get an itinerary for your interview. Most companies will accommodate you with this request, so do not hesitate to ask. There are several reasons why this is so important. First of all, you will know how much of your time is expected during the interview in the event you are planning other activities that day. Secondly, if it is a lengthy interview, you will be able to see if the company is allotting any time for a lunch break. Thus, you are able to make sure you have had a meal beforehand in the event there are no breaks during the interview. I have had people show up for an interview on an empty stomach believing that there will be a lunch break. When that does not come to fruition, they end up struggling during the latter half of the interview due to a lack of energy. Lastly, an itinerary allows you to know how long you will be meeting with each individual, and perhaps if you will be meeting with one individual more than once. Therefore, you should not incur any surprises during your interview, and it should flow accordingly.
Another important criteria to a successful interview is doing research on the company. Seems like a no brainer, but you would be amazed at how many people forget to spend some time looking at the company. There are so many avenues these days to get information on a company, so please utilize them. Do not just be satisfied with knowing their business, but also look up any news items about the company over the last couple of months. That will give you an idea of where they are headed as an organization. Being able to ask relevant questions revolving around their business model only enhances your chance of a positive meeting.
Preparation is the key to a successful interview. By following these steps, you will improve your chance of landing the open position. All of the items discussed are fairly fundamental, but as mentioned, each holds a high level of importance. By discarding any one of them, you will inhibit this opportunity. Interviews are tough enough during the actual process. Everybody has an equal chance prior to the interview, so make sure you are as prepared as the rest of your competition.

Your link to Wisconsin's land, air and water resources
Nature Conservancy rails against mining changes
The Nature Conservancy expessed "deep concern" on Wednesday about proposed changes to iron mining laws now being debated in Wisconsin.
A mine upstream from land it helped to purchase could potentially harm ecologically significant waters in the Bad River watershed, the conservation group said.
In 2003, the group negotiated the purchase of 21,322 acres from Plum Creek Timber Co. for $4.5 million and worked with the Bad River band of Lake Superior Chippewa to protect the land. The Bad River and Kakagon sloughs are located within the tribe's reservation.
The Nature Conservancy buys land or helps other groups buy land and protect it from development.
The conservancy says the bill removes protections for wetlands.
Gogebic Taconite is proposing to construct a massive iron ore mine over 4 miles in Ashland and Iron counties, which is upstream from in the sloughs.

Connecting to your soul with song and movement
We sat in a circle on chairs making stilted, polite conversation between strangers. One women quietly asked if she could perhaps leave to go shopping instead. Then it started.
We stood up, stamped our feet, beat our chests, moved around the room, sang loudly and then quietly.
I looked around. Everyone was stamping away and smiling broadly. The mums or dads with the children, who were the official participants of the music class. It did not matter. We were all a part of the group and we were all having fun (despite ourselves). I noticed in the second class that the mum did not ask if she could disappear off. Instead, she made a beeline for the percussion instruments so that she could join in.
I leave those classes feeling energised and inspired. I am grateful to my children for the opportunity to participate. I most likely would not join a similar group otherwise.
Since my children were born, music has become an important – if not central – part of our lives. We sing constantly and on almost every occasion. Instead of growling at the children to hold still so we can clean their hands, we sing a special song ("hands up, hands up – for the champions for the champions – hands up") and they hold their hands out willingly. Whether they are sad, happy, tired or energetic: much of life is accompanied by a suitable song. While out walking, we often sing "she'll be coming round the mountain". I have added several verses featuring the children. Additionally, she eats peanut butter and drinks Pina Colada (non-alcoholic, naturally).
I sing because it makes my own heart lighter and happier, and my soul shine. My children smile, dance, and join in the songs enthusiastically. Our three-year-old invents her own songs and her own verses, telling stories of what she is currently doing or thinking about. I love how the creativity is woven into our day without being an actual event.
I heard Angeles Arrien say recently that you cannot sing and feel anxious or scared at the same time. Personally, I think that singing and movement not only helps to alleviate fear but also connects us with our soul, with the creativity deep inside of us.
Luckily, my children are still young and I will continue to find many excuses to fill our lives with song and dance (for their benefit, naturally). I wonder how I will one day fill this gap. Why do we think that shopping is a more natural activity for us than singing, moving and dancing to a beat – raising our vibration and connecting to our souls and source of creativity?
I encourage you to find ways to turn song and movement into a daily ritual – with or without children! Your creative muse will thank you for it.
Does song and movement have a place in your life also? How do you connect with your soul? Please share in the comments below!

August 1 2015 Latest news:
Simeon Jackson would love to play at the Olympics.
Paddy Davitt
Wednesday, March 21, 2012
Norwich City striker Simeon Jackson hopes helping clinch Premier League safety could be the start of a memorable summer that includes a call up to Canada's London Olympics football squad.
The 24-year-old is sure to be involved in two key World Cup qualifiers for the Canucks in early June on the road to Brazil 2014. But Canada's younger talent is also poised to embark on a pre-Olympic qualifying event later this week with two places at stake for the London Games.
Jackson would be eligible to play at the finals in late July as one of three over-age players in a tournament which will feature the likes of Spain, Brazil and a British squad managed by Stuart Pearce.
Canada's U23s need to finish in the two top of an eight-team tournament featuring countries from Central and North America that starts tomorrow in the USA.
Jackson insist a potentially hectic summer schedule is something to relish after starting five of Norwich's previous six games prior to Sunday's Premier League defeat at Newcastle.
"I'm at a young age and I want to play as many games as I can," he said. "I just have to keep going and enjoy it because it's going to end one day, so why not enjoy it now?
"They're trying to qualify this month. I think that's going to be a younger squad so I wish them all the best and if they do make it, hopefully I'll jump on the bandwagon.
"We've also got a few games coming up (with the seniors), one friendly and some qualifiers, but I don't really want to look at that right now. I just want to focus on Norwich."
Struggling Wolves head to Carrow Road this weekend, but Jackson is adamant the Canaries will be just as desperate for the three points.
"We're fighting to stay in the league as well," he said. "Maybe not as much as the other teams but we want to make sure we get across the line and don't get dragged into anything.
"It's for us to keep our heads on and make sure we stay focused. We're just trying to get as many points as we can and until someone else tells us we're safe then so be it.
"There are still a few games to go and a lot of points to play for so we definitely have to stay on our toes and make sure we get the job done."
City bid to end a four-game winless league run this weekend that Jackson believes could in part be attributable to the club's success this season.
"We have been a surprise package in the league and I guess we are becoming more known and that's going to make it more difficult in games," he said. "But it's something we have to address and adapt to."

Don`t forsake us, Timbo! The IT system, along with the random rejection regime, are frustrating. I keep thinking what you`ve said but never quite stopped fighting the good fight. I sometimes get a string of rejection e-mails from die Grosskontrolleren for items that I have long since forgotten. Nil illegitimus carborundum (or something like that). OTBC

I just hope we "go for it" and beat Wolves !
Wednesday, March 21, 2012
Just love this comment: ""We're fighting to stay in the league as well," he said. "Maybe not as much as the other teams but we want to make sure we get across the line and don't get dragged into anything." Absolutely agree! Sometimes we give the opposition more credit than they deserve and then suffer the consequences.

Spot-on Swiss, if I may say.
Thursday, March 22, 2012
Tried to reply, jharding, but blocked!!
Thursday, March 22, 2012
I'm thinking the same as you Brewer. I've read all the comments stating we should be happy as to where we are now and how far we've come, and believe me I am, but I can't but help feeling a little bit low at the moment with the recent results we've had. I think any negative thoughts we might have will be blown away with a storming performance against Wolves that results in a win. Easy really!
Thursday, March 22, 2012
Talking of getting dragged in, QPR won last night (v Liverpool!). Bolton have a game in hand. There are therefore 10 games to go for them. 30 points. Blackburn on fire. Not being overly pessimistic, but remember 1995; 1 point from the last 8 games=Relegation. Just go out and play like you can, City, take 3 points off the hapless Wolves and try to finish the season with a Whoopee not a Whimper. I know it has been said many times before, but the attitude to the Leicester game was not helpful. Back-room shenanigans ditto.
Thursday, March 22, 2012
So the Wolves game, to paraphrase Bill Shankley, is not a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that.
Thursday, March 22, 2012
jharding, maybe because they`ve let one or two of my outrageous comments through, they are now going to send me to Coventry by not letting people speak to me. The bullies!
Thursday, March 22, 2012
TIMBO, listen! I share your frustration. Not only on the footy boards but elsewhere. As a brewing industry pro for over 40 years, I would like to comment on related topics, like CAMRA and pubs generally. I`ve had 4 perfectly reasonable comments blocked today. Don`t give up. Your good sense and humour would be sorely missed. I`ve alerted "the others" so hopefully they`ll gang up on you!! OTBC.
Friday, March 23, 2012
Right guys I'm off. I give up. Sick of wasting my time. No point writing out intelligent comments with no swearing, for them just to be lost in space. Pink Un I hope you are aware of the inefficiency of your IT systems. They are costing you business ! I'll talk to you on the live matchday comments fellas. Otherwise take care + farewell- OTBC- Timbo.

Indeed Swiss. I'm no boo boy + I think Lambo's done an unbelievable job etc etc but I, for one, am a little concerned after QPR's win last night. I think the Wolves game is a double "must win" for us.We're not in trouble (yet) but we need the 3 points @ the weekend. There are some tough games coming up in the next few weeks. This business of sitting back and letting the opposition hammer you, then suddenly coming out of the blocks, is a dangerous tactic (unless you've got the talent Muhammed Ali had). I await the next game with interest + slightly bitten nails ...Come on lads. Lets make it safe ! OTBC.

The SS Cape May Experience
- Details
- Hits: 1457
The 8th Annual SS Cape May features two afternoons of music business panels, workshops, clinics, mentoring, demo listening sessions and musical keynotes at the historic Congress Hall Hotel & Harrison Conference Center located in Cape May, NJ. Join us for the next conference and showcase March 27 & 28, 2015.
This event is designed for singer-songwriters of all genres and those interested in the music industry. The focus will be on emerging and established talent, networking with each other, learning directly from music industry professionals and members of the regional music community.
Cape May is the oldest seaside resort in the United States and stretches 20 miles into the Atlantic Ocean and below the Mason-Dixon line. Famous for its rich history of visitors and Victorian architecture, this National Historic Landmark City also hosts world renowned jazz festivals. Cape May will come alive in early Spring of 2015 during the annual singer-songwriter weekend.
See you at Congress Hall!
Over 150 acts and artists are being selected from showcase submissions to participate in SS Cape May 2015. Showcase performances by selected acts and artists will be held on Friday, March 27th and Saturday, March 28th, 2015 at the participating showcase venues.
SS Cape May accepts electronic press kit submissions through our partners at Sonicbids.com, Reverbnation.com, through the US Mail with a Showcase Application and by using any music and/or social networking site that has the requirements through MissionTix.
The deadline to submit has passed. Showcases have been announced.
Patty Larkin redefines the boundaries of folk-urban pop music with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromising vocals and lyrics. Acoustic Guitar hails her "soundscape experiments" while Rolling Stone praises her "evocative and sonic shading." She has been described as "riveting" (Chicago Tribune), "hypnotic" (Entertainment Weekly) and a "drop-dead brilliant" performer (Performing Songwriter ).Patty Larkin's new release Still Green, her 13th recording, is co-produced with Mike Denneen (Aimee Mann, Howie Day). Still Green plays out in Technicolor sound images, a kaleidoscope of sun and sea traveling from the fluorescent-lit hallways of grief to the warm pull of love, family and nature. Much of it written in a primitive dune shack on the Outer Banks of Cape Cod's National Seashore, Still Green is a fresh approach to sound and life from a legendary songwriter who continues to amaze.
Patty Larkin will be the Keynoter and Featured Performer at the 8th annual Singer Songwriter of Cape May on Friday, March 27, 2015 at historic Congress Hall, 8PM.
For over 30 years, Dan Navarro has written, sung, playes and acted his way through a rich and varies career. Dan started as a songwriter, often with Eric Lowen, for artists as diverse as Pat Benatar, The Bangles, Jackson Browne, Keb' Mo', Dave Edmunds, The Temptations and Dionne Warwick. In the 1990s, he recorded and toured with Lowen in the acclaimed acoustic duo Lowen & Navarro until Eric's retirement in 2009. Dan has since transitioned into a growing solo career, increasingly in demand on the national concert circuit. He's moonlighted as a singer and voice actor for 25 years in major motion pictures. He has contributed countless hours in Washington on issues of intellectual property, copyright and performer's rights. In 2009, after 22 years and 12 albums with Lowen & Navarro, Dan released the spirited "Live at McCabe's".
Dav Navarro will be the Keynote and Featured Performer at the Singer Songwriter of Cape May on Saturday, March 28, 2015 at historic Congress Hall, 8PM.
This event is designed for singer-songwriters of all genres and those interested in the music industry. The focus will be on emerging and established talent networking with each other, music industry professionals and members of the regional music community.
Music industry professionals attend the annual Singer-Songwriter event as performers, speakers, mentors, and talent scouts. They share their experience and network with musicians, songwriters, students, and registrants during the afternoon educational seminars, mentoring sessions and then hang out for the nightly showcases performances. Networking with other musicians and industry professionals will provide the education, tools and contacts to help advance careers.
Early Bird Registration until January 31, 2015............. $55.00
Registration after February 1, 2015 ........................... $75.00
* All Acts that submit to showcase do not need to register. All showcasing acts and artists receive free Performer's Credentials and do not need to register for the conference.
The historic Congress Hall will host SS Cape May and offers limited availability at a special rate during the event and traditionally sells out early. "Providing hospitality since 1816, Congress Hall is a haven of relaxed elegance, fun, historic charm and luxury at the New Jersey shore. Set amid landscaped grounds overlooking Cape May's broad sandy beaches, Congress Hall is just a few steps from the ocean, in the heart of Cape May's famed historic district."
SS Cape May is also proud to partner with the Victorian Motel, Camelot, Inn of Cape May, the Marquis de Lafayette and several other hotels, motels and bed & breakfasts by offering special room rates during the singer-songwriter weekend.

"While our state's history is important, I wanted to use that very public space to honor living Hoosiers as well," said Skillman.

Courses: The Age of Jefferson and Jackson, 1789- 1850. (HISTH203B01)
Spring 2012
This course charts the transformation in American political institutions, economy, and society from the ratification of the Constitution to the eve of the Civil War. Often identified as the crucial period when the American nation cohered around a national culture and economy, this period also witnessed profound social rifts over the political legacy of the American Revolution, the national institutionalization of slavery, and the rise of a new class system. We will consider the points of conflict and cohesion in this rapidly changing American nation.

A Newark man is under arrest after police say he stole a car from a woman and threatened another man who picked him up later on.
Seth Brown is charged with robbery and grand larceny.
Newark Police say officers responded to the Pizza Hut for a reported stolen car around 6 P.M. Thursday. Investigators say Brown approached the driver and ordered her to get in the car and drive him to Fairport. Police say the woman refused and the two got into a struggle which ended when police say Brown forced the woman to the ground and then took the car.
Later on, police say another driver picked brown up as he was hitchhiking along Route 31.
Police say Brown ordered that driver to take him to an ATM for money but the driver saw a Palmyra Police officer who investigators say was looking for the stolen vehicle and pulled up to the officer. That's when Brown was taken into custody.
Investigators say Brown also approached at least two other people and attempted to pressure them into taking him to Fairport.
Brown is being held in the Wayne County Jail in lieu of bail.

The Speciality of Sriman Mahaprabhu's Dance at Ratha-yatra
- Details
- Sunday, 30 January 2011

by Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Trivikrama Gosvami Maharaja
Mahaprabhu moved with such speed, that He appeared to be simultaneously present at every point of His circumambulation. Such a sight is certainly astonishing, but our amazement should not stop there. What bhava was manifesting in Sriman Mahaprabhu at a given moment, and what internal transformations was He undergoing as a result? This was the foundation of His dance.

Rina Long, an intelligent and ambitious teenager from Cambodia, had always wanted to become a doctor. Then her father died, leaving the family in poverty, and Rina's future suddenly looked grim. It seemed that there was no other option but to drop out of school and seek employment in Korea, where—with her lack of job skills—she almost certainly would have been forced into prostitution.
We Western Buddhists tend to dwell in a cognitive space that defines the first noble truth largely against the background of our middle-class lifestyles: as the gnawing of discontent; the ennui of over-satiation; the pain of unfulfilling relationships; or, with a bow to Buddhist theory, as bondage to the round of rebirths. Too often, I feel, our focus on these aspects of dukkha has made us oblivious to the vast, catastrophic suffering that daily overwhelms three-fourths of the world's population… If Buddhism in the West becomes solely a means to pursue personal spiritual growth, I am apprehensive that it may evolve in a one-sided way and thus fulfill only half its potential. Attracting the affluent and the educated, it will provide a congenial home for the intellectual and cultural elite, but it will risk turning the quest for enlightenment into a private journey that, in the face of the immense suffering which daily hounds countless human lives, can present only a resigned quietism.

SAN MARCOS — Had things worked out differently, had he not been kicked off the Navy football team in the spring of 2010 for rules violations, Marcus Curry would be in his second year of flight school, learning to pilot fighter jets.
Had things worked out differently, the fifth-year senior running back at Texas State wouldn't be facing an awkward reunion with former coaches and teammates.
Curry returns to Annapolis, Md., on Saturday, hoping to lead Texas State to a victory over the Midshipmen on Senior Day at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
But the Carrollton native says he's comfortable with the trip, and that his tumultuous past at the U.S. Naval Academy is just that — in the past.
"I've put all that behind me," he said. "I'm looking forward to going back. It should be pretty fun."
Curry isn't the only Bobcats' player with ties to Navy.
Freshman quarterback Jordan Moore, redshirt freshman wide receiver Elijah Cash and junior defensive back Justin Iwuji all attended the Naval
Academy Prep School in Newport, R.I., before transferring to Texas State.
But none of them made it to the prestigious service academy.
Curry did, and early on he was considered a rising star at the same school that produced 1963 Heisman Trophy winner Roger Staubach.
In the opener at Ohio State as a sophomore, Curry caught two touchdown passes — including an 85-yard catch and run — nearly helping the Midshipmen to an upset.
He caught a 25-yard touchdown pass to help seal a victory for the Midshipmen in the annual Army-Navy classic, then closed the season by rushing for 109 yards and a score while catching five passes for 97 more in a 35-13 win over Missouri in the Texas Bowl.
But off the field, Curry struggled with the academy's rigid discipline. He was cited for a number of infractions, the most publicized coming after the 2009 season when he failed a drug test.
Curry claimed he didn't know the cigar he smoked contained marijuana. When he was allowed to stay at the school and on the team, it sparked outrage among current and former Midshipmen, who complained of a double standard for athletes.
Then shortly after spring practice ended in 2010, coach Ken Niumatalolo dismissed Curry from the team for a curfew violation.
Curry resigned from the academy and transferred to Texas State.
He fought through adversity there, too — rupturing his Achilles right before the start of the 2010 season — by returning with a strong 2011 campaign.
This season, he leads the Bobcats with 513 rushing yards for a 6.1 average with 11 overall touchdowns.
"I'm really happy for the kid," Niumatalolo recently told reporters in Annapolis. "He's moved on, is making good decisions and doing well in the classroom. All of us are young at some point, if we think back to our college days. We all grow up."
Curry says the experience at Navy has only made him stronger. He blames no one, and says he's learned from his mistakes.
"I'm a better person now," said Curry, an economics and finance major. "I feel that things happen for a reason.
"Of course, I want to do well and win the game."

The Grammy Awards are Sunday, which means by now you've probably completed a pool and are poring over updated predictions—or simply bought your weight in tortilla chips and a new pair of roomy sweats for your annual viewing party. We spare no judgments on the latter, as all award shows are best enjoyed with a hefty supply of highly enjoyable foods at the ready. (Sometimes the only way to make sense of Grammy ruling is through multiple pieces of pie.) We've pulled together a collection of Grammy recipes from top chefs around the country, as well as a few costume and party ideas for the big night. Prepare yourselves for a full fiesta with our nominee-themed party kit below.
Step one: Supply some rocking snacks.

WACO (November 15, 2013) Baylor women's cross country junior Rachel Johnson earned All-Region honors and a spot in the NCAA Championship field with a fifth-place finish in the NCAA South Central Regional Championships on Friday at the Cottonwood Creek Golf Course.
Johnson's finish, along with the All-Region performance of freshman Alex Davis, propelled the Baylor women to a seventh-place team finish. On the men's side, senior Brad Miles also earned All-Region accolades to help the BU men take ninth overall.
Johnson turned in a career-best time of 20:23.8 on the 6,000-meter course to be named All-Region for the second time in her career. The Plano, Texas, native tallied a 19th-place finish at the event in 2011 to take the honor for the first time.
Behind Johnson, Davis improved on her Big 12 meet time by 11 seconds to take 24th in 21:18.1. Another freshman, Maggie Montoya, was the next BU runner across in a time of 21:28.4 to be 30th. Meanwhile, junior Mariah Kelly was close behind with a 36th-place finish in 21:43.6. Baylor's final scoring runner was Erika Overbeck, who finished in 69th-place in a time of 22:38.6.
Those five runners totaled 162 team points to finish eight points behind fifth-place UTSA and 28 points ahead of seventh-place Lamar.
On the men's side, Miles tallied his first All-Region honor with a 23rd-place finish in a time of 31:07.2 on the 10,000-meter course.
Matthew Cochran was less than 30 seconds back in 37th-place with a time of 31:35.5. Sophomore JR Hardy was BU's third runner across with a time of 31:59.4 to be 48th. Veterans Jonathan Tijerina (32:17.1) and Derwin Graham (32:38.9) took 57th and 74th, respectively, to be the final two scoring runners.
As a team, the Baylor men tallied 239 points to finish in ninth behind UT-Arlington's 221 point total and ahead of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi's 249 point mark.
Johnson will compete as an individual at the 2013 NCAA Cross Country Championships on Nov. 23 at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute, Ind.

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Holly Randall, why does that name ring a bell? Oh, I know why! she's the daughter to famed erotic photographer Suze Randall. Unfortunately this isn't her personal website where she gets naked and nasty. This is her collection of photography work featuring super hot babes in softcore erotic, toy play and tease scenes. Currently there are close to 500 videos and 600 image galleries being offered for a TBP specially reduced price of less than $20 bucks per month.
Large Archive of Original Content.
One large archive of gorgeous girls in super high quality images and videos. There are some really unique looking photography styles here too. Interesting angles and a variety of environments leads to just the type of softcore nude content that won't leave you bored to tears. Each shot is different from the next and each photo shoot and/or video offers just enough of its own flavor to feed your desires. And there's even some great hardcore action here, too. I especially enjoyed at least one anal scene, but you will find lots of water play, outdoor scenes, some girl-girl erotica, great close-ups, and even some fetishes and great pussy play.
Great Quality Content.
Newest images can be viewed as large as 4500x3000 pixels and sometimes higher (lo-rez are 1024x768 pixels), and even the older content is offered in high-rez.
Advanced Site Design.
Advanced design features allow members to set their browser preferences (resolution, navigation style, slideshow time). Archives are browsed by year, then by month and the videos are viewed separately. A top model's index offers the top 200 voted models, and an advanced search feature allows you to search by: text, shaved, location, hair color, eye color, photographer, or model. There is also a listing of all models in alphabetical order. Something new and cool I found when clicking on the advanced search page is the presence of content tags, this in a way creating content categories and an alternative way to browse content by specifics.
Plenty of Download Options.
For starters, there are lots of great options for download both when it comes to the pictures and the videos including different quality settings for MP4, a nice quaslity WMV and one for AVII. Image sets are offered in 3 sizes along with zip options for each.
Other Good Stuff:
Older Scenes Don't Look as Good.
Updates here started coming in early in 2009. The older videos offer smaller formats and bitrate speeds around 2000k. They're not bad looking by any means, they're just not the full screen HD quality you'll see from the newer content. The super 1080p HD quality has been a progression, and they quality has continued to improve.
Minor Negatives:
Following her mother's footsteps, Holly has certainly made a name for herself as well.
There are just two photographers listed here, Holly Randall and Mark Daughn. Together they've managed to create a reasonably large archive of hot softcore, erotic, sometimes edgy, sometimes hardcore, but always beautiful. The newest 1080p HD scenes are looking great, but quality has clearly always been a strong point here. I would have loved a little more personality in terms of detailed scene and model info, but overall Holly's mom should be very proud.

April 01, 2009
As we noted in the Spring 2008 installment of Issues, changes have been in the wind for a while with regard to the way that not-for-profit organizations would have to account for and report their "endowment" funds – both the permanently restricted funds that donors require to be held in perpetuity and those unrestricted resources that a governing board sets aside to function as endowment.
To understand the rationale for the changes, it may be helpful to review the recent history of reporting for endowment funds. To begin with, in the mid-1990s the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB), the entity which establishes accounting and reporting principles and practices in the United States, established revised overall rules for the treatment of donations to NPOs. As a result, for accounting purposes, when a donor stipulates that the principal of a gift to an NPO is never to be spent (regardless of whether the investment "income" from that gift – including realized and unrealized capital appreciation – is to be used for either specified or unspecified purposes), the donation is reported as an endowment and as "permanently restricted" in the NPO's financial statements.

It's the same reason people take the little soaps and shampoo from their hotel room. It's just what they do, it's not because they won't spend a few bucks at the store. *
I'm not sure the labels were so arrogant as they were in denial about something as obvious and do-able as distributing digital music themselves. I think most labels have adapted in the last 4 or 5 years, but it was already too late. They could have maintained a better hold on their own product if they'd been in on the ground floor. Some of the labels got what they deserved, but others were dragged down with them. None of it had to happen this way, or this soon.
I suspect labels will exist mostly to administrate 'catalog' recordings as opposed to marketing new artists and their music. As for the people who've been laid-off, and there are many more to come, I'm sure they'll become consultants and liaisons for digital distributors, which will become more crucial as artists try to market their music with firm release dates, and promotion from the various sites. The online sellers will essentially become the new labels, and the music business game will start all over - how to get 'in' with those sellers and other music sites, for the best promotion & exposure. Why get exposure and promote music? So that the artists can make money! If they don't, that process will eventually shrink, our choices for new music will also shrink, and there'll be no blaming a 'label' for that. It'll all be on the hands of those who think music should be free.
