Big Ten Network
Q: What kind of new programming can I expect to see on the Big Ten Network this fall?
Big Ten Football: Breakdown (Tuesdays, 10 PM ET): Every week, Big Ten coaches and players review the previous week's game film, looking for the positives and the negatives. Our analysts will give fans a look at the subtle nuances of the game and what affected the teams' success.
Q: Which football games will you carry on the Big Ten Network this fall?
For most intra-conference games, kickoff times and television arrangements are not determined until six or 12 days before game day. Our football telecast schedule will be posted here. Some Big Ten Network games will appear on ""Extra Football Game Channels,"" which are part-time channels cable or satellite systems provide and allow the network to offer multiple football games simultaneously to viewers. The availability of these channels depends on your service provider and your area. To get the channel number for the game you're looking for, please contact your video provider or use our GameFinder feature at BigTenNetwork.com.
Q: Who are the Big Ten Network's football announcers?
Q: How do you select which Olympic sports events (e.g. field hockey, soccer, wrestling, etc.) air on the network?
The programming selection process is complicated because there are many factors at work. From a scheduling perspective, most Big Ten events (in all sports) take place on weekday nights and weekends. Oftentimes, the network is already televising a different live event involving other schools or other sports. In addition, the Big Ten Network strives to be fair to all universities and to all sports. Another important aspect of the decision-making process is finding appealing matchups.
Q: Why don't you show more ice hockey?
Q: Why doesn't the Big Ten Network televise every Big Ten football or men's basketball game?
For football, the Big Ten Conference has divided those rights among the Big Ten Network, ABC and the various ESPN networks. For basketball, the Big Ten Conference has divided those rights among the Big Ten Network, CBS and the various ESPN networks.
The Big Ten Network televises more Big Ten basketball games than any other network. The Big Ten's television partners combined to nationally televise more than 200 Big Ten men's basketball games in 2008-09. No conference had more games televised nationally than the Big Ten.
The creation of the Big Ten Network ensured that every Big Ten HOME football and men's basketball game will be televised or streamed. Overall, only a few men's basketball games were streamed to avoid conflicts with other men's basketball games and exclusive ESPN windows and even fewer (just a handful of road non-conference games) received no coverage.
Q: What's the best way to find out the Big Ten Network channel number if my cable company has changed it?
Q: Who can get the Big Ten Network?
A: The Big Ten Network has distribution agreements with AT&T U-Verse, Charter Communications, Comcast, Cox (Cleveland), DIRECTV, DISH Network, Insight Communications, Mediacom, Time Warner Cable, RCN, Service Electric, Verizon FiOS and more than 250 cable operators across the country.
Customers of DIRECTV and DISH Network have access to the network regardless of where they live. Verizon FiOS and AT&T's U-Verse are rolling out the network across the country.
Inside the eight Big Ten states, the network is available on the expanded basic level of service with the exception of the Philadelphia area, where it is available on a digital level of service.
Outside the eight states, cable operators who carry the network can make it available on any level of service. Select markets where the network is available are listed below. If you do not see your city listed here, contact your local system office to see if there are plans to add the network. You may also enter your zip code in the ChannelFinder feature to find out if the Big Ten Network is already available in your area.
Q: What are "Extra Football Game Channels?"
A: "Extra Football Game Channels" are part-time channels that the Big Ten Network provides to cable, satellite and telco systems which allow the network to offer multiple football games simultaneously to viewers. Due to the nature of how the Big Ten schedules football games on Saturdays, the Big Ten Network often must televise several games at once.
In order to satisfy fans of all schools, the network has offered all of its affiliates the opportunity to make these "Extra Football Game Channels" available to their subscribers. However, they are only available for Big Ten Network programming on football Saturdays.
Q: Do I get ""Extra Football Game Channels?""
Q: Why doesn't the Big Ten Network have "Extra Football Game Channels" for basketball? [I have DISH/DIRECTV, and my online channel guide always lists Big Ten Network alternates.]
During the conference portion of the basketball season, the Big Ten schedules games in such a way where there is no overlap. Consequently, there is no need for "Extra Football Game Channels" during the conference schedule.
DISH Network changes its on-screen channel guide template infrequently, and so the alternate channels are listed, even though they are not available to us except during the football season. DIRECTV only lists Big Ten Network "Extra Football Game Channels" during football season.
Q: Why isn't my cable company carrying the Big Ten Network?
Q: How does the FCC mandated transition, from analog to digital signals, affect my ability to watch the Big Ten Network?
Q: Why do you stream basketball games on the internet?
As it has in years past, the Big Ten Network will once again televise more than 100 Big Ten men's basketball games and more than 55 women's basketball games during the regular season and nearly every one of the games will be available in high definition. That's more than any other network.
However, the men's basketball non-conference schedule often includes overlapping games, which the network cannot air simultaneously.
The Big Ten Network streams all men's basketball exhibition games (nearly all of which had not been televised in recent years) and also streams some non-conference games where there are conflicts with other Big Ten Network men's basketball telecasts and exclusive ESPN windows. For games that are streamed, the network is contractually unable to televise those games on a live basis.
Every other major conference also streams some games and also has games that have no live television or internet availability.
Q: How can I get a DVD copy of a Big Ten Network programming?
Q: Why was the Big Ten Network created?
The conference wanted to control more fully the advertising environment in which its events were aired (the network accepts no alcohol or gambling advertising), dramatically increase exposure for women's sports and other NCAA sports that had not previously been widely televised and improve distribution for football and men's basketball games that were previously available only on a local or regional basis.
By all accounts, the network has become a stunning success. In fact, the network is well on its way to becoming a global media company, with an incredible brand, multi-platform revenue stream, numerous new media initiatives, and worldwide distribution. The network has enjoyed tremendous success in its short tenure, being nominated for the ""Best in Sports Television"" Award by the Sports Business Journal and winning various marketing awards for our Coaches Marketing Campaign.
Perhaps the best part of the Big Ten Network is that the universities share in its success. In addition to their rights fees, the universities receive a profit share of the network, increased exposure for their programs, and perhaps most importantly an equity stake in a lucrative network which will only increase in value down the road. The network launched on August 30, 2007, and is on the air 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. The Big Ten Network was the first network in cable or satellite television history to reach 30 million subscribers within its first 30 days on the air and is now available to more than 73 million households across the U.S. and Canada.
The Big Ten Network is a joint venture between subsidiaries of the Big Ten Conference and Fox Cable Networks.
Q: How has the Big Ten Network affected television exposure for Big Ten athletics and how does it compare to other conferences?
The previous television agreement included a number of football and basketball games which received limited distribution via ESPN Regional. In addition, many games did not receive any television coverage at all. The creation of the Big Ten Network has dramatically increased the number of nationally televised Big Ten games in football and basketball, as well as a wide variety of sports.

Newton County's murder rate took another hit Wednesday morning with the violent death of a young man and woman.Newton County Sheriff's Office deputies went to a residence in the Falls subdivision at 695 Freeman Drive around 9:30 Tuesday night after they were alerted that one of the two victims had failed to show up at work.There they found two bodies - a female and male victim, believed to be a boyfriend and girlfriend, both in their early to mid-20s. Early Wednesday the names were not released pending notification of the next of kin. Newton County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt.

These week I'm offering some free printables that go along with NaturExplorer's Incredible Creeks study. We love these nature studies!
Four days of creek adventures
Three different creeks
Two curious boys
One fearless father
It all adds up to real learning.
A favorite moment was finding a salamander larva. We also brought home a crawdad and some minnows for a 48 hour observation, but the most-est fun was just being down at the creek.Together.
Simon sketches the objects he sees floating in the creek.
Waiting and watching . . . Elijah kept track of every animal (or animal sign) we found:
Animals at the Creek
water strider
yellow jacket wasp
salamander (larva)
blue gill
other fish
toad (dead – ew!)
freshwater clams
beaver (tracks)
sand piper (tracks)
muskrat (tracks)
weasel (tracks)
Trying to identify various insects found on or in the water.
Making little nut boats and getting ready for the big race!
Learning about the creek's food chain.
So many animal tracks!
Hunting Crawdads
What else can we find?
You can download the {extra} printables to go with the NaturExplorer's unit by clicking on the picture below.
This week I've blogged about pre-writing activities. Here is a small compilation of ideas from around the web and links back to my posts as well.
Check out Amy's blog post about Paint Bag Writing. We have one of these; Simon happily doodles with a q-tip and dances with his fingers on his paint bag writing tablet.
I also love Amy's Rainbow Writing idea. Simple and effective! You could use basic shapes or strokes before letters and numbers.
If your kiddo likes Play-doh (who doesn't?), check out Jolanthe's Playdough Mats.
This Chalkboard Painting idea from Forest Rose is genius.
Don't forget to print my pre-writing pages.
Try making some Simple Stencils
Simon loves Sandbox Writing!
For even more before handwriting ideas, you can browse my Pinterest board.
Linking up to
Here is another pre-alphabet writing activity for your kiddo.
I've seen this idea all over the web with alphabet writing, but I wanted something to use with Simon to work on his basic strokes and shapes . . .
. . . so I created a set of cards for him to use with the sandbox. You can snag your own set by clicking on the image below.
This is pure {pre-alphabet writing} fun!

A passenger on a motorcycle involved in a wreck on Saturday has died. The collision occurred at FM 2378 and CR 7100 near Wolfforth. 22-year-old John Gonzales was critically injured at the scene, and pronounced dead Monday.
The crash happened when a Kubota Mule tractor, or a 'Gator', ran out of gas. The three people in that vehicle began to push the Gator off to the side of the road. Sergeant Brian Witt reported that's when two people on a motorcycle came down the road. They saw the Gator and tried to stop but slammed into it. Both men were ejected.
The driver, Zachary Craven, 17, and passenger John Gonzales, 22, were taken to a local hospital. Craven sustained minor injuries. Gonzales was pronounced dead Monday.
Witt said Craven could face charges if he did not have a license to drive the motorcycle.

Very good! You must have figured out how to use spell check. Not a single misspelled word in your last post. Well, technically just one... But you've made so much progress that I'll give it to you. Your grammar is still a mess though. Perhaps you should take some of your vast fortune and buy an education. I'm done making you look like the fool that you are. Although it has been fun, you've made it entirely too easy, and you bore me now.
You know what this blog is about? What? You must be so proud! LOL!
Don't forget Lakers over Celtics in seven! So long SUCKA!
Wow! You really should up the dose on the Prozac and slow down a bit. Your writing has degraded to the point that I can barely discern what you are attempting to convey. You have proven yourself to everybody that you had to? What does that mean and who cares? Sounds like middle-aged, fat assed, loser speak for "you never proved anything to anybody." What did that get you anyway? A corner space at the trailer park?
I don't need my Dad or Wikipedia to compete with a mental ant like you. One thing is certain; I would take my future over your loser past any day of the week. The fact that the author got paid is all the more reason to correct him. The problem with mistakes in the news is that idiots like you believe everything you read. And since you have proven to only understand every other word it becomes that much more important that the author be factual.
As for my basketball skills I have colleges falling all over themselves to give me a full scholarship. What do you have, a bent rim behind the trailer with a rusted chain net? No doubt it's set to eight feet so you and your midget friends can pretend to dunk.
The correct word is "go." The term Geaux has its roots in illiteracy (that means: unable to read or write, STUPID)! So no surprise that illiterate piece of monkey spunk like you would prefer it. Don't forget to chain up the Pit Bull and lock the trailer door before beginning your nightly ritual of beer drinking and wife beating. What a LOSER!
One more thing, how can I put this so you'll best understand it? Oh, I know, GEAUX F_ _ _ YOURSELF!
Sorry, I forgot you can't spell. Ask the dog to sound it out for you!
Hey GIBroJoe,
Just want to say thanks for pointing out my incorrect comma usage. I asked my Dad about it and it turns out I do misuse them. Fortunately I'm young enough that I'll have time to learn the proper usage. You on the other hand appear to be closed minded and (no comma right?) incapable of learning anything new. By the way when my Dad read our exchange He absolutely could not stop laughing! He was hilarious! He called you a few choice names that I probably shouldn't repeat here. Needless to say we had a pretty good time at your expense. I had to defend you when He suggested that you were one of those internet predators on Dateline NBC. You're not one of those guys are you? LOL Thanks again! GO HORNETS!
No, I do not always use a comma before the word "and."
I also do not use the word "there" as a possessive. What I use in that case in the word "their." I spell "championship" with an "io" not an "oi." When I use the word "miss" in its past tense I add an "ed" to the end. I capitalize words ant the beginning of sentences. When I can find no other word and must use a contraction I spell the word "haven't" with the apostrophe in the correct place. When I want to say "you certainly wasn't attempting to prove your genius," I write it "you certainly weren't attempting to prove your genius." When I write "you are" as a contraction I spell it "you're" not "your." I spell "uncomfortable" like this: "uncomfortable."
Don't worry I know it's a lot to take in on your first day of school. Just stick with it you'll get there. Until next time stay away from the big words!
Ooooooo. Down goes ttallone! Thank you for so eloquently proving my point!
It is apparent from your two postings that your grasp of English is anything but firm. You didn't know that the internet could expose somebody's grasp of the English language? What? Allow me to spell it out for your miniscule (that means very small) mind. The language is written as well as spoken, and your attempt at using it in its written form might get you a below average grade at an inner-city grade school. If you had read (reading comprehension also part of the language) my post you would know that I never suggested that Russell won the championship by himself. I said that he helped, and he did. Why not pick Russell? Why Cousy? There were twelve players on that team that could have been mentioned, of those, seven were ultimately elected to the Hall of Fame. In the interest of brevity I chose one to make my point. I could have said Frank Ramsey helped the Celtics win their first championship, and you still would have brilliantly observed that even Frank had to have help. Next time before you criticize what started out as a friendly post try passing a sixth grade English course!
I hate to burst your bubble but here's a news flash for you to get back on topic: Lakers defeat Celtics in seven for the 2009 title!
You are correct; it was Cousy, and Russell along with Sharman, Heinsohn (rookie of the year that year), and a few other great players that won that first championship. The role players on that team "helped", which is a fairer comparison to Posey this past June.
I apologize as it seems that, on some level, I have offended you. My initial post was intended as a light hearted jab at the authors' omission. He did fail to give credit for 16 NBA Titles! I certainly was not attempting to prove my genius, but since you used the word you may want to double check your grasp of the English language.
"The Hornets improved their roster in the offseason by signing swingman James Posey, who helped the Boston Celtics win their first championship this past June. "
That's funny. I thought it was Bill Russell who helped the Celtics win their first championship. To correct the author, Posey helped the Celts win their 17th championship this past June. What short memories we have.
That said, I like the Hornets chances!

A few weeks ago, we hosted by brother's birthday dinner at Standard Grill. We were a party of 20 and there was one waiter. He forgot numerous orders, accidentally threw out my nephews pasta (which they had asked to be wrapped up) and took 20 minutes to bring a cappucino, once it was ordered. It was unbearably slow and not worth the wait.
Posted by anon on 03/24/2010
i have to agree with all these other reviews. the staff acts like you are lucky to be there, and in new york with so many wonderful restaurants, they should still act like they are lucky to have you. The space is truly great, the atmosphere is fun, and the menu is built very well. the food, we had ribeye, charcuterie plate, salad, octopus app, a seafood dish, cocktails and a bottle of wine, lots of food, big check. we had a 10 pm reservation on a tuesday, so clearly no one was going to be seated after us, we explicitely asked the waiter more than once to slow it down so we could enjoy our meal, and he just speed it up. wanted to know our drink order immediately (3 times), my app plates were being taken away while i was eating off of them, to bring my entree, with no apology. my wine glass was refilled every five mins until bottle was emptied, wine glasses were to the brim...the entire meal took less than an hour, to which we made sure to linger for another. it was offensive, and ungrateful, and completely illogical. they may be able to get away with that with tourists and models for a while, but they won't get repeat visits from new yorkers who won't waste their time when there are restaurants with better food and better service. i've always found that the places i feel lucky to be able to eat at, act equally thankful for their patrons.

The brunch cocktails were outstanding, boozey and not the slightest bit watered down . The only complaint I have was the cheese plate. On the menu it looked like a steal at 10 bucks. But it was rip off since there were two half bite sizes of cheese, you could barely taste it . There were much more black forest ham and salami. I wouldve prefered if they gave you a hell of a lot more cheese on that plate. Baked eggs were amazing, little portion but knock your socks off good

Dining at the Standard is nothing special. And maybe that's ok -- I found it disappointing, though. We went for brunch after getting to Pastis too late to sit without a long wait. So my review is also colored by a comparison to brunch at Pastis, which I rather like. I actually have very little to say about my meal there except that it was completely forgettable. It was certainly not _bad_, but it wasn't particularly good, and I definitely think it's a poor value. The experience is utterly interchangeable with hundreds of other NYC dining experiences where you drop the usual hundred bucks and promptly forget the experience. I do like the fact that they open early for breakfast (7:00am). I'd go back there if I needed an early-Sunday b'fast. It would be serviceable in that capacity.

Recently went to check it out. We were late for our reservation so it was fair for them to put us in the front dining room. I think the main room is a lot better. The food was genuinely good. We had the lobster stew, swordfish and grilled calamari- all really good. The service was just ok and really needs help if you're going to have this much hype. We had to ask for water and keep flagging her down for service, check, etc. Also, that front room has people spilling over in the bar and the bar patrons kind of spill on to the diners which is really not ok and the noise level is way way too high. I would say it was a good crowd when we were there but the host and hostess could use some work too. I would recommend checking it out for food but DON'T sit in the front room

Social dynamics and planetary boundaries in Earth system modelling
Human actions play an increasing role in shaping the Earth's planetary environment, from the physical climate system to biogeochemical cycles to the functioning of the land surface. To understand and predict the future evolution of the Earth system, it is thus critical to understand the planetary boundaries of the human playing field, as well as socio-economic dynamics and their interactions with climate, and the consequences for the planetary system. There is a range of urgent questions related to this topic, from the definition of planetary boundaries, the safe operating space for humanity, thresholds and critical transitions in the global socio-environmental system, and the identification of sustainable pathways for future development.
However, the current Earth system modeling landscape lacks the tools to adequately address these challenges. Either societal dynamics is tightly constrained by economic optimization paradigms (Integrated Assessment modeling) or present only as prescribed scenario input in physical Earth system models. Furthermore, feedback loops between social and environmental processes are largely absent in current Earth system models.
What is needed is a more dynamic societal sphere allowing for social tipping points, major reorganizations, revolutions and collapse in conjunction with a description of the fully coupled co-evolutionary dynamics of human societies and the natural Earth system. In this special issue, we seek novel and innovative approaches that deal with modeling socio-economic phenomena in the Earth system, their dynamics, interactions, and boundaries.
We welcome contributions applying concepts and methods that include, but are not limited to:
Climate Change and Environmental Pressure: Adaptation and Resilience of Local Communities in the Hindu-Kush-Himalaya
The Hindu-Kush-Himalaya (HKH) is the highest mountain range in the world and its glaciers feed into 10 major Asian river basins. Together, these rivers contribute to the fresh water supply of an estimated 1.4 billion people, out of whom 20% live below the poverty line. Eight countries share the territory of the HKH region: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Pakistan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and China. All of these countries are experiencing fast paced transformations at several levels and scales. The HKH has been identified as one of the global hot spots for climate change, however, the simulation of the climatic conditions in the HKH still presents serious challenges to the research community, and state-of-the-art climate models struggle in reproducing the observed climate variability and trends. Moreover, collecting and validating hydro-meteorological data in such an extreme and diverse territory is highly challenging. The intensity and features of future climate variations, and especially of its extremes, and their potential impacts in the region are still quite uncertain. Understanding the interaction between climatic and environmental change (changing temperature and precipitation patterns, changes in the hydrological regimes of water basins, and in the snow-cover dynamics, variation in the extent of glaciers, pollution), and other drivers of change such as globalization, economic integration and population dynamics (out-migration, rural-urban migration, and population growth) are of great importance for planning a sustainable future in the region.
This special issue collects some of the contributions presented at the workshop "Climate Change and Environmental Pressure: Adaptation and Resilience of Local Communities in the Hindu-Kush-Himalaya (HKH)" held in Hamburg on October 9-11 2013. This editorial activity aims at contributing to building trans-disciplinary knowledge and collaborations among scholars working on climate change and its impacts in the HKH region, beyond disciplinary and national boundaries. Such knowledge shall lead to a better understanding of vulnerabilities and to a holistic view on the environmental and climatic challenges that shall feed into future research design, and to inform stakeholders and policy-makers. We foresee contributions covering four diverse but partially overlapping research areas, across natural sciences, social sciences, and engineering:
Intersectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISI-MIP)
ISI-MIP is a community-driven modelling effort with the goal of providing cross-sectoral global impact assessments, based on the newly developed climate [Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs)] and socio-economic [Shared Socio-Economic Pathways (SSPs)] scenarios.
Based on common background scenarios (climate and socio-economic), a quantitative estimate of impacts and uncertainties for different sectors and from multiple impact models will be derived. From this, policy relevant and society-focused metrics will be deducted.
This initiative, coordinated by a team at Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research with support from IIASA and backing from the IPCC Working Groups II and III, aims to provide fast-track outcomes for the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). Further it hopes to initiate a longer-term coordinated impact assessment effort driven by the entire impact community.
This ESD special issue is intended to cover research performed within the context of ISI-MIP. Contributing manuscripts may cover modelling studies which use the common ISI-MIP background scenarios to improve our understanding of the impacts and uncertainties associated with projected global change.

Rumors of an iPad Mini have been circulating for months. Bloomberg has reported that the company, "plans to debut a smaller, cheaper iPad by year-end, [according to] two people with knowledge of the plans." And even the the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post have cited their own knowledgeable sources. According to MacRumors, "Japanese blog Macotakara now claims that the smaller iPad will be produced [at Foxconn's factory] in Brazil and will ramp up production starting in September." And now The New York Times has deemed the 7.85″ iPad "mini" to be likely to ship this year.
Although our own Erika Morphy says, "Not So Fast," I think there are so many reasons for Apple to do this that it is inevitable. Here's why:
1. "Nightmare" For Competitors: An iPad Mini would most likely be priced to compete directly with Google's Nexus 7 tablet and Amazon's Kindle Fire (both with 7-inch screens at $199.) "It would be the competitors' worst nightmare," said Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee & Leach Inc. told Bloomberg.
2. Sticking It To Google: Beyond wanting to retain market share, remember there's a certain grudge match here that Steve Jobs has bequeathed to Tim Cook.
3. The iPod Example: Contrary to its approach with the iPhone and iPad (so far), Apple was wildly successful with its iPod strategy of selling multiple form factors to crowd out the competition.
While I have seen attempts at mocking up the purported 7.85″ iPad "mini" (see above from MacRumors/CiccaresDesigns), no one has really questioned the form factor. The NY Times quotes Leslie Grandy, "a former Apple manager who is now a consultant and an adviser to start-up companies, [who] says a smaller iPad could be especially appealing to people who do not now carry their iPads with them because they are too large and heavy. While a seven-inch device is too big for pants pockets, Ms. Grandy said, it is a good size for women's purses. 'I really do feel like this is the sweet spot for them.'"
Although there is room in the market for all manner of devices going forward, the big-money question is which ones are really integral. I am not even convinced that the existing 10″ iPad is really the optimal, full-size "lap" tablet. I think it may, indeed, be a bit small for its function and eventually be superseded once the economics of larger flat screens make it viable. Similarly, I think that the form factor of the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire have an advantage as a small "hand" tablet that the proposed iPad "mini" does not: most people can hold them in one hand. Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Google's Hugo Barra made this advantage clear when they first announced their products, holding them above their heads like fans demanding a "Freebird" encore at a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert.
The other advantage of the taller, thinner shape of the Android 7-inchers is that they will be better as second screen controllers for connected TV applications. In landscape mode they are good HD video viewers and game controllers (room for two thumbs). In portrait mode they are more like a traditional (if large) TV remote. The 7.85″ scaled-down iPad is more like a paperback book than anything else. Hardly media forward.
There is an argument that has been made (see post in Daring Fireball for the math) that the scaled-down iPad could run existing iPad apps, just with smaller touch targets. For women and children with smaller fingers, that might work fine, but there's a risk that by avoiding fragmentation for developers, Apple could be fragmenting its customers by gender.
So although I think Apple will, and should, make a smaller tablet, I am more in agreement with Asymco's Horace Dediu, that the Times cites in their article. "To emphasize the new device's media-playing functions, Mr. Dediu suggested, Apple could even position it as a next-generation version of the iPod Touch, rather than as an 'iPad mini.'" My vote is for an upsized Touch instead of a downsized iPad. No doubt all manner of tablet prototypes are in the works in Cupertino (and China and Brazil). Do we know, with the certainty of the collective dream, that they have already picked which one?

Response to Matthew: If Taxhauber can use his own moral authority to not enforce the law what would you say if there is a governor who decides abortion is killing and declares all abortion mills closed? How about the inhumanity of street pavers being forced to work in 100+ degree heat? The governor has shown no leadership in this matter by telling us only certain laws are upheld and certain laws can be ignored. Oregon, you get what you asked for.
Big headline about a non-story. Ice Road Truckers draw triple these numbers. Soccer just isn't interesting to the US sports audience.
It has been quite a few years that the University of Oregon traded being a school of higher education and chose to become the most publicly funded sports program in the nation. Same people, as usual, come up with the old sayings that sports dollars are not taxpayer money since a couple of sports make enough for all the sports to exist. The fallacy is that UO is supposedly an institution that relies on tax payer money and they don't. The school walks such a straight and narrow zone between the rules and law that it will eventually make a really bad move and then the NCAA and all the tax payers who don't like what is going on there will force the "school" back down a few rungs where it belongs. Meanwhile, the former football coach is retired through PERS and receives amost a half-million retirement that is truely paid by the tax payers. Chip will get the same as will the track and basketball coach. Higher education and being as asset to our state? Not very much
Corgster, I think UOregon is right. The only way for spencer to keep his job is to make the playoffs. That will not be an easy task for an undertalented team like the Timbers. Cynics are not necessarily wrong but are often right. Unless the owner is willing to spend the bucks for a higher caliber of players the bottom rung of the ladder will be reserved for FCPT.
I think the Timbers should call this a "still building" year and treat every game as an exhibition so the fans can expect losing instead of the over-optimistic hope for winning. Spencer should stay on as coach for the rest of this building year and then declare some serious soccer next year. Other than that it is too bad the team didn't just keep the players they had as a minor league team and call it good. The pre-MSL teams were better than what we get today.
I thank the higher powers that be for naturally warming this globe thousands of years ago that brought the world out of the ice age, melted the ice where we now live and allowed us the beautiful energy of the sun. I do wonder what the cause of this warming was? It could have been people but they weren't around then. Maybe a dinasaur or two but they are dead and gone. Lastly, I can't curse the naturally ocurring warming right now since it brought the global cooling warnings of the 1970s from plunging us into the dire warning that we would all freeze if freon wheren't banned.
I am a veteran of more than 20 years of active duty. I first went to the MC to watch the Buckaroos, attend the car shows, the TBs in their first year, roller derby and other exhibits and shows. All of that said I think tearing it down would be the best thing. A veterans memorial could be set up at another location where access could be easier. The only thing stopping this is the Portland leadership which wildly goes on nonsensical rampages.

Obama and Holder are colluding to cover up a very serious crime. It stems from the arrogance and lack of respect for the very constitution of the US. They must learn the hard way that "fundementally changing this nation" is not what the citizens want. Time for the Chicago mob to go. If not to prison than to private life.
Don't be ridiculouse, piggle. Public schools and roads are either required through the state constitution and for the purpose of what infrastructure is required for the good of all people and does not limit the use to one gender. All people have the option to drive or use the roads if they do and most citizens have recieved an education. Both are for the good of the citizenry but abortions are murder. I come to that conclusion when Michele Obama said a when a seed is planted in the ground it immediatley becomes something that is living and good for us when the potential is reached. I guess she thinks a plant seed is something alive and a fetus is not.
The "name" is certainly something to get hung up on. When a league of any sport can field an all-star team that gets embarrassed by a single European team it is not major league. When a league is full of stadiums that include LA, NY, Dallas, DC are built to hold only 20,00 fans is not major league. With teams full of low grade European wannbees is not major league. "Major League" may be a matter of semantics but it is the name of the league for cryin' out loud. How can this be less than what it advertises? They should dump the "Major" name and just go with "American Soccer Legue". No false advertising there.
There should also be a real concern for what is being taught to those students who stick it out. Politics, teacher's unions and lack of caring as well as the school "raising" the child all combine to make failures. The school curriculum must include strong math and history lessons. Without inculcating students with a true lesson of how we got to where we are the student has no sense of pride or a real appreciation of what they have.
Everyone connected to this team shares the responsibility for one of the worst playing teams in the league. The owner that hired inexperienced GM, the coach who had never been a head coach and signing players who are lacking talent (except the keeper). If this continues I would expect season tickets to be available for next year; lots of them. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see the Timbers win but this organization is not up to the challenges of the other clubs in the league.
Rep Blumenauer, The reason people get hysterical with most any plan Obama brings forth is that he is not to be trusted. Regardless of the plan any of his agenda is looked at with cynasism because, whether is be good or bad for us commoners, it is always good for him.
A bandwagon fan is nothing to be overlooked. Those often maligned "bandwagon fans" fill stadiums across the country in every sport pro and amatuer. Let's face it, the stands at JW are there because of the newness of the team. If you look at any team in last place in any league you will find a correlation between attendance and winning. I guess I am a bandwagon fan. I don't look at the standings unless I have hope for a team to win more than half their games. When the team wins ALL the fans have fun and buy lots of t-shirts and hot dogs. The fans I don't like are the ones taking pride in being a loser. The team is not "their team". The team is the money giants making even more money off the passionate "fans" somehow taking ownership of the team without question. The jerseys on the players say "Alaska Airlines"...now how does that make any fan feel part of it when you know the airlines and the owner of the Timbers get "fans" thinking like lemmings marching into the ocean?
The only way to really show ownership how the fan base feels is by staying away. I know the tickets have already been sold but who wants to watch the mess on the field. The coach is not the only one responsible (although he deserves most of the blame) but the GM who does the bidding for players shares much of the responsibilty.
Why doesn't the wise ones that determine the level of government interest in our personal lives just institute a flat tax of 80% for everyone and then provide free little egg-shell geeky cars to everyone and be done with it? Of course the 80% flat-tax could only be temporary until they realize they need 90%. Then we would have enough money left over to buy only "healthy" foods at government run grocery stores.
Nancy Brown, your take on the DHS situation is mostly right on. My response to closing the doors for furlough days is well taken and a solution to that is to NOT take unpaid furlough days when the offices are usually open and just not give paid holidays. Simpler and more servicable to the public, but, wait, the SEIU union would fight that tooth and nail for they control all.
France, Germany and other European countries use nuclear power for over 50% of their energy. The newer technology and other safeguards make nuclear energy important as the government is shutting down oil drilling everywhere. More people die each year from drunk drivers than nuclear accidents.
The article was an AP piece. I doubt the "O" can afford a proof reader.

Quote Lanie1959: What is it with Adam and fireplaces? He kills me, he wanted to crucify Chelsea for hiding the truth but I guess it's just fine when he lies and hides the truth somebody tell me how lying about a baby's paternity is worse than than hindering the investigation of little girls death or breaking a promise to God.
I know right? It's okay for Adam to do all these horrible things, but you're right, how is hiding the paternity worse than burning the scarf of a dead little girl that got stuck on your car because you supposedly hit her(!) right after the doctor told you that the surgery to attach HER corneas to your son's eyes went well? I can't wait to see the excuses justifying this type of behaviour! Adam is, and has always been, a coward!
Everybody in GC except Adam is to blame for Delia's death.The fact that he was there,has a broken light and her scarf was under his car doesn't matter to some.
If Adam did hit her it was an accident,he never saw her.He stopped and drove away when he saw that Dash was okay.I would hope that he would have tried to help Delia ,he could have been a hero again.
Adam had a chance to do the right thing and go to the police.That won't happen now that he's burned her scarf which was evidence against him.Connor got Delia's corneas so he'll just keep quiet to protect himself as usual.I guess he's decided that he'll let God punish him and just wait around for that. Now he'll have to pay someone to fix the light on his car and keep quiet.A few tears and feeling guilty doesn't make this okay.
I've been waiting for whackjob Sharon to show up at Nick's to offer her support and concern over Delia's death.She was Victoria's stepdaughter so Nick must need her.
You're right; it's Wackadoo Wednesday! I wouldn't be surprised if she offered her "services" to Jack or Billy...
Back to Adam, did you see the thread blaming Chloe because she convinced Chelsea to keep the truth from him which caused him to be upset and drive recklessly? There was even a thread blaming Delia...how it was her fault and that they felt so baddly for Adam! And, of course, there's the deflection, listing everything else that everyone else has done in GC.
It was an accident, but Adam destroying evidence and hiding behind an infant to justify not at least pretending to be a man gets no sympathy from me...
I did see that thread and all the others.Chloe,Billy,Victor,Zack,Courtney's mother,Nikki,the witness, Anita,a new female characters who's coming,and of course little Delia herself.All to blame except Adam .He may not have hit her but he was there and won't come forward.I have never seen anything good in Adam and don't expect I ever will.
it's a shame Adam didn't die instead of Delia, it's unbelieveable that even after Billy and Chloe donate Delia's eyes he takes her belongings and burns them to protect himself...........he might as well dance on her grave
Yep; he certainly celebrated his good fortune with the satanic fireplace ritual...the best thing would have been for him to make the ultimate sacrifice so that his child could see...that would have been a death I would have watched with a glass of wine!

NO he didn't!!
That little scarf would have been something special to them!!
She was SOO proud of her little costume and worked so hard to get her part just right.
I thought he re-wrote his lines when he didn't like them.? and he went along with this??? He actually agreed to throw her scarf into the fireplace and burn it??
It was an accident! Why didn't he return it and tell them the truth?!?!
What if it had been his child???? How would he feel???
Who approved this sad, sick s/l??? Unbelievable.
Exactly! How would he feel if this happened to Peanut? He doesn't deserve that child! Imagine; while Chelsea was praying for Chilly to heal, Adam was too busy burning up Chilly's dead daughter's scarf in the fireplace! But I am sure his actions will be explained away by his worshipers. He is nothing but a disgusting vile character and should have been run over and left to die instead of Delia...
Sure wish you were writing his script!! Or any of you on this thread.
Maybe then, I could record and watch again. Even when I could watch, I FF'd his disgusting face.

I just read a thread that blames Billy for Delia's death and says Adam is a victim too.Since it was an accident it was okay for whoever hit her to drive away.Another thread says it doesn't matter if Adam hit her because it's all Billy's fault as well.
This show has a history of nobody paying for their crimes.Victor never does and Adam got away with all the other horrible things he's done.I suppose we're supposed to feel sorry for him because he feels guilty but can't bring himself to confess.I hope Billy finds out that he was there and kept quiet,even if he wasn't the one who hit her.He should give Adam a beating he'll never forget and put him in ICU.
I'm new to posting, but I've grown up watching Y&R with my Mom & my Grams.

Quote rancidcorneas: SPOILER: Adam, Connor, Delia, Black Market Cornea
Adam feels guilty and tries to offer support to Billy & Victoria but he is rejected by Billy who becomes obsessed with finding Delia's killer.
Michael Muhney says the fact that Adam knows he hit Delia is killing him inside. Adam knows that he should turn himself in but he's terrified of not being there for Connor when his son needs him the most.
Adam purchases illegal Black Market corneas for Connor.
However they learn these illegal corneas are NOT viable.
Adam & Chelsea are crushed and disappointed. They are desperate for a donor!
Adam goes to the chapel and prays to God.
Adam promises God that he will confess to everything IF Connor is provided with a donor!
Michael Muhney says Adam's entire world now revolves around his son Connor and he will do anything for him. He can't be away from him. Even if he turns himself in, Delia will not come back.
Angry Chloe refuses to donate Delia's organs. But after seeing Chelsea & Connor, both Billy & Victoria convince Chloe to change her mind and donate to her corneas to Connor.
Chelsea is humbled and grateful for their gift.
Once Adam discovers that Delia is the donor, will he keep his promise to God?
Stay tuned!
ROTFLMAO at your screen name! As for Beelzebub actually keeping his promise and turning himself in.....are you kidding? That bastard won't do that! Everyone knows that Adam is a PUNK-BI+CH!!!!!! He will have more excuses that a drunk going to jail as to why he can't turn himself in. That dummy actually bought black market corneas....what a dope!
I think that statement about confessing not being able to bring Delia back is very telling...Adam will take the cowardly way out yet again...he is all about self-preservation and to hell with anyone else...
Hi Trini, hope you are doing well!
Adam is already showing his true colors. If it were me , or most people, we would have already went to the police and told them what happened. Instead, in true Adam form , he is hiding it. I couldn't live with myself doing something like that. He will just look guilty when the truth does come out and they aren't going to believe a word he says. He is the lowest form of human nature I have ever seen. But I expected nothing less from the creep.
See, that's what I was trying to explain to a 'shipper. The longer he takes to confess, the worse it's going to look for him because Delea would have served her purpose to him. And while they all complain about the cops jumping the gun (only because it's their boy Adam imho), anything involving a child gets the cops all angry, and especially that the person left her to die, accident or not, that's still cold. And if he does confess after Delia gives her corneas to Conner, if we're going by Adam's "I'm the victim" crap, nobody would listen to his reasoning...and that he didn't know he hit Delia. All they will see is a heartless bastard who got the corneas of the dead little girl he "accidentally" ran over...so how does not confessing right away help? One 'shipper said that they wouldn't confess either and that Adam is right not to...
I don't think Adam will confess until he is backed into a corner and has no choice. Whether Adam hit Delia or not , he needs to tell the police what he knows so the investigation can proceed. But Adam could care less about what those who loved Delia are going through right now and how the hit and run is hurting them , on top of Delia dying. Hiding Delia's stocking and not coming forward shows that he thinks he hit her, and he is purposely hiding it. He won't tell till he has to, the coward that he is. He has no regard for a child's life , as he has proven more than once now. How anyone can make excuses for this demon is something I will never understand.
Exactly! Adam knows he's doing wrong by not telling his side of the story, but he is such a cold-hearted monster that he doesn't give a crap about Delia. He's just concerned about getting caught imho...Billy's right, prison is too good for him.
Oh but Trini, Adam is scared , don't you know! That's the excuse some are giving him to excuse his behavior. And I thought I had seen everything on this board. Jail is way too good for Adam , he deserves the electric chair for all the pain he has put others through.
Oh PL, that's right!
And I read the best excuse for his satanic and vile behaviour...ready?
He was abandoned by Victor and his ciblings didn't like him so he didn't stand a chance! (I told you!).
Oh really? So does that mean that Victor ought to be forgiven for everything he's done and get a pass because he was orphaned? If Adam didn't stand a chance and he had a loving home, then Victor should never be condemned!
(And this coming from a non-Victor fan, but just pointing out the hypocricy).
I love this post Trini! I am not a Victor fan either , but if you go by their reasoning, as silly as it is , then why isn't Victor excused? Adam was brought up by a saint of a women , he had an ideal childhood , while Victor went through hell, where's their compassion for Victor? Victor deserves it much more than Adam!
Thank you!
You are welcome Trini!

Study Abroad
Turn the World Into Your Classroom
MOSAIC | Current Study Abroad Programs | Types of Study Abroad Programs
Undergo a life-changing experience. Experience natural and human-made wonders both ancient and more modern. Learn a second or third language. Make friends half a world away. Sharpen your competitive advantage. Prepare to enter a global economy. You have options when you decide to study abroad. Your studies can parallel your major coursework or focus on a cultural exploration of the local environment. You can follow a short-term program from nine days to nine weeks, or you can leave for a long-term experience – a semester or a year at an overseas campus. While you're traveling, you might:
- Admire masterpieces from Michelangelo to Mozart in the artistic apexes of the world
- Survey architectural ruins in Rome or other parts of the world
- Learn to navigate London, Paris, Florence or other magnificent European cities
- Tour historical wonders like the Roman Colosseum
- Walk in the footsteps of those visionaries who transformed the ancient world into a modern global society
Whether you go to a far corner of the globe or take just a short jog, getting to know people from different cultures will enrich your life in incalculable ways. Maryville University is committed to making it as easy as possible for students to participate in a study-abroad experience.
Loans and grants are available for qualified students (see Martha Harbaugh in Gander 134A). For the most successful study-abroad experience, we recommend you start planning as soon as possible.
MOSAIC- Missouri Study-Abroad Intercollegiate Consortium
Maryville administers a comprehensive faculty-led short-term study-abroad program on behalf of a group of colleges and universities – Central Methodist University, Columbia College, Fontbonne University, Missouri Valley College and Millersville University. The mission of MOSAIC is to provide a range of summer programs, staffed by faculty from member institutions and open to all collegiate students – from these institutions as well as any other colleges throughout the United States. Faculty members from MOSAIC institutions offer courses in the various programs. Maryville administers the programs as well as the academic transcripts for MOSAIC's five summer 2015 faculty-led programs.
Types of Study Abroad Programs
There are five basic types of study-abroad programs:
- Short-term, Maryville faculty-led summer programs of 3-4 weeks with stand-alone course(s) for credit
- Short-term, 9-day, Maryville faculty-led, spring-break/January/May programs associated with an on-campus course
- Individualized semester-long and year-long programs for credit
- Internships and experiential learning programs of 6 weeks to a semester for credit
- Short-term programs offered by other institutions with participation by Maryville students, but not faculty
Short-term, faculty-led, three to four week stand-alone programs

Students choose 1-3 courses from a list of offerings by our faculty and, in some courses, local faculty.
- Characteristics of such programs include:
- 2 weeks of pre-departure readings and possible assignments
- 3-4 weeks on-site
- 4 weeks of post-site assignments back home
- Learning occurs in a 24-7 environment from Maryville faculty augmented by faculty from other Missouri universities and on-site local universities
- Most of learning occurs outside the formal classroom "in the streets" via excursions to important sites
- Maryville administers these programs on behalf of a group on near-by and other American universities via an organization called MOSAIC (Missouri Study-Abroad International Consortium)
- 2015 summer 3-4 week MOSAIC programs

- Associated with a course offered by Maryville faculty during fall/spring semester or summer
- May be based at one site or students may spend a substantial time traveling from location to location
- Up to 7 weeks of pre-departure on-campus reading and assignments
- Post-site assignments
Individualized semester-long and year-long programs
Students may opt for a longer study-abroad experience where you leave Maryville's campus far behind and spend a semester or a year on your own at a university campus somewhere in the far corners of the globe with classmates from different cultures who will enrich your life in incalculable ways. Experience university life in another part of the world as you explore subjects in your major or study new topics relating to the local environment. Somewhere in the world is a program to fit your interests and needs. Maryville works with you to find the right fit.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Public education could receive hundreds of millions of additional dollars in the future under a measure approved by the House.
The proposed constitutional amendment allows voters to decide whether to prevent a drop in the yearly allocation from the $11 billion Land Grant Permanent Fund. It will provide $550 million next year for public schools and 20 other public institutions, including universities.
The proposal keeps the yearly distribution rate at 5.5 percent of the fund's average five-year market value rather than letting it drop to 5 percent starting in July 2016. The change would mean an extra $61 million in the 2017 payout.
The measure passed the House on a 36-33 vote Thursday and heads to the Senate.
Opponents said future allocations will shrink if more is paid out now.

The owners have lent the club £72.7m plus they have also secured a short-term bank loan of £15m which have seen the club's debts increase by £86m in the space of 12 months.
At the same time wages rose from £58.4m in 2011/12 to £78m last season, Rangers having spent heavily on players including buying Christopher Samba, Ji-Sung Park, Loic Remy and Jermaine Jenas; their arrivals helped wages rise to nearly £80m while the club's overall turnover was only £60.6m.
QPR chairman Tony Fernandes said: "Clearly in 2012-13 the club did not meet its performance targets and was relegated from the Premier League.
"A critical driver of any club's value is its presence in the Premier League, and the club is focused on regaining its Premier League status as quickly as possible.
"The financial results reflect the club's focus on trying to achieve on-pitch success."
QPR could find themselves facing a large fine and a transfer embargo under the Football League's financial fair play rules, unless the club can win promotion back to the Premier League this season.
They are currently fourth in the Championship table - nine points adrift of Burnley in the second automatic promotion slot - but they do have one game in hand.

Safe, Legal, and Hilarious: Five Actually Funny Jokes About Abortion
You might have missed it earlier this week because you were doing something more important with your time—like Jazzercising, or building a tiny city out of Triscuit crackers and cream cheese, or watching some kind of filibuster—but some conservative strategists have decided that, in order to court those darned Millennials who failed to elect Romeny in 2012, they are going to have to start talking to them on their terms.
You know, throw on some skinny jeans, get tattoo of tiny mustaches on their fingers, and perfect that ironic, detached style of humor that all you young folks love. Yes, I was lying about the first two items on that list, but am dead serious about the third: according to a wonderfully reported piece in Salon, some conservative groups have decided that the way in with the youth vote is to take hip humor and apply it to the regressive stances that make their party so unpopular in the youth demographic. Yes, folks —some GOP organizations have decided that the key to reaching younger voters is to try to make abortion funny. But don't take my word for it—take it away, Kristan Hawkins! Quoth the Salon article: "
'You can engage with sarcasm, it's hard with the abortion issue, but you have to,' said Students for Life president Kristan Hawkins at a breakout panel at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference in Washington today on how to win millennial voters. 'Unfortunately we have to, because this is the generation that we've been dealt.'"
Step back, right-wing strategists—we own this.
Abortion jokes—not the awful, shaming kind that you see on, oh let's just say for example "Family Guy," but the awesome, funny ones that are used to point out the hypocrisy of American culture's take on the issue—have been a staple of liberal political comedy since abortion first became an issue of public discussion.
Joan Rivers told a veiled abortion joke about a friend who had had "14 appendectomies" on television in the early 70s. Rivers discussed the joke in a 2010 NPR interview, saying;
"I was the first one to discuss abortion, and it was very rough. ... And I couldn't even say the word abortion — I had to say, 'She had 14 appendectomies.' ... And by making jokes about it, you brought it into a position where you could look at it and deal with it. It was no longer something that you couldn't discuss and had to whisper about. When you whisper about something, it's too big and you can't get it under control and take control of it."
In that grand tradition, I bring you five actually funny jokes about abortion—plus an actually funny mini-movie that just might be the first-ever rom-com about abortion:
1. Free Neurotica is the Austin, Texas-based sketch project of comedian Valerie Niece. In this skit, we find out what it would be like if every medical procedure was as fraught with unnecessary restrictions as an abortion. Here's a hint: "God has a plan for your gallbladder":
2. Deanne Smith is a brilliant stand-up comic who has appeared on Last Comic Standing, HBO Canada, Sky TV, and won awards at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and a billion other places all over the US, Cananda, and Australia. Here she is on the confusing wording of anti-choice bumper stickers:
3. You know what The Onion News Network is. So let's take the time I would have spent explaining that, and use it to enjoy this video skit about a proposed law that would make women seeking abortions set up and paint a nursery first:
4. You probably know Emmy-winning comedian Wanda Sykes from her work on "The Chris Rock Show" or "Curb Your Enthusiasm," her own show "The Wanda Sykes Show," her performance at the White House Correspondents Dinner, or her activism work for same-sex marriage in California. She is as multi-talented as she is hilarious (so she is very multi-talented). In this bit, she weighs in on who is entitled to know about your abortion (joke starts at 4:26):
5. This George Carlin routine about anti-choice activists is the one that everyone puts on their Facebook wall to shut down a distant relative or friend of a friend of a high school friend who decides to preach some anti-choice rhetoric at you on what was just supposed to be an innocent post of brunch photos. But sometimes things are classic for a reason, people!:
In 2009, comedian, actor, and writer Jenny Slate starred in "Obvious Child," a short rom-com, written by Gillian Robespierre, Anna Bean, and Karen Maine, and directed by Robespierre, that features an honest, compassionate, and humorous look at abortion and dating. The brief film is the anti-Juno. And if you like what you see below, you're in luck—Obvious Child the full-length feature film is in production, and should be released next year.

I loved this article! I found Obvious Child when I was doing a project on conservatism in romantic comedies. I was super surprised to find that little movie when I was doing research. When I showed the movie, I think some of the class was stunned, some people let out nervous giggles, and some people laughed outright. I was a little afraid that I was going to have someone screaming at me, but it turned out every single person in that class was comfortable with the film, or was respectful enough to acknowledge that everyone should have control over their own bodies. Thanks for this!
All things considered, what
All things considered, what kind of right-wing abortion joke could be made? "In the past, they used coat hangers. Now, they use the tactics of Satan. But have they tried using... THE WORD OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, OUR GOD WHO DIED FOR OUR SINS, AND HUNG UPON THE CROSS FOR SLUTS LIKE THESE??? *laugh track* This fall, these misguided women find out what happens when you stop being equally protected under the law... and start getting /real/."
It would be great if a video
It would be great if a video of a Canadian comedian could be viewed by Canadians in Canada. Please check videos regional limitations before posting to an international audience... And if there isn't an internationally available video anywhere in cyberspace, perhaps a transcript would be useful.
I always love the content of
I always love the content of posts, but it's SO jarring when there's been no editing and I have to read "Corresspondants Dinner" instead of "Correspondents Dinner." Takes me right out of the what I was reading and makes me wonder why you're skimping on copy editors.
It would be nice to link to
It would be nice to link to the videos, or at least give some information as to how to find them. Seriously.
The videos are up!
Thanks to a technical glitch, the videos disappeared from this post for a few minutes this morning. But they're all back up now. Sorry about that.

Yeah, all of these links go to the main pages of the sources mentioned, not the actual videos themselves. :(
You forgot about Bill Hicks!
You forgot about Bill Hicks! He does a great routine about abortion and antis.
Question: I am a new stand-up
Question: I am a new stand-up comedian, and I'm female. I told this joke at an open mic, "I had an abortion today. It really sucked the life right outta me." which was met with pretty strong disdain by some of the other, more-experienced comics. All male, but they said it was an insensitive joke, and that it could alienate audience members. I thought this was weird considering that guys tell jokes about getting ugly girls to eagerly suck their dicks. Ya know cause they're ugly. -_- And there are lots of jokes like that.I just want to get some more opinions on it, from other pro-choice feminists.

Southeastern admit to skipping smaller stations if trains are late
Posted: January 14, 2013|
SOUTHEASTERN has admitted not calling at smaller stations when trying to make up lost time on delayed services.
It comes after stinging criticism from one passenger, who had to take a taxi from Wadhurst after the impromptu decision to bypass his home stop of Stonegate.
Robin Hare, a retired management consultant who lives in Ticehurst, said: "It amounts to treating the little people as cannon-fodder and I find that unacceptable. It's shoddy at best and immoral at worst.
"It was a massive inconvenience and left me with a real dilemma of how to get home and get my car from the station."
The 60-year-old said his real concern was for people who might not be able to make alternative arrangements to get home.
Alison Nolan, a spokesman for Southeastern, said: "When there's major disruption, sometimes the decision is made to run the train fast and not stop at some of the stations. All operators do this, it's not unique to Southeastern.
"Otherwise, we would have hundreds of thousands of people in London unable to get home."
She added: "In this case, it was a signalling issue and if we hadn't missed stations it would have caused knock-on delays."
Southeastern denied it was punctuality targets that forced them to make up time by missing smaller stations.
Bob Baker, of the Tunbridge Wells and District Railway Travellers' Association, said: "A bit more transparency about how and why the decision is taken to miss stations would be helpful. I think that this should be done very irregularly, if at all, and I would like to be sure that they do it for the reasons they state."
Mr Baker also said the association was keen to hear from any rail user who had been on a train that missed scheduled stations. They can be contacted by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Mr Hare has written to his MP, Greg Barker, and the Secretary of State for Transport, Patrick McLoughlin, to complain.
He said: "If I buy my ticket from A to B in good faith I expect to be deposited at B no matter what," he said. "Even if, in my case, it was due to a signal problem, to decide to miss stations en route was arbitrary and callous."
