The police investigation lasted nearly five months and included interviews with several students in the class — along with Western Michigan Christian Principal Doug Doty; and the school's dean of students, the Rev. Samuel Greer Jr.
The incident was also caught on video.
According to the report, the student was sitting on the gym floor and was not paying attention to Goorman, who was attempting to get her attention. The girl said she yawned loudly, which upset Goorman. She told police that he then began yelling at her to turn around — and when she did not, she was kicked in the back.
Several witnesses from the class confirmed that Goorman placed his foot on the girl's back. Opinions varied as to the force of the impact, with several students describing the contact as a "tap" or a "nudge."
Some of the witnesses said that the girl used profane language, and others noted that she does not like Goorman.
Goorman claimed the student was ignoring him while he was giving the class instruction. She was not facing him; and, when she did not respond, he simply placed his foot on her back to get her attention, Goorman said.
The case was later turned over to Newaygo County Prosecutor Robert Springstead, who said on June 22 that he had reviewed the case and decided to issue a warrant against Goorman.
However, on Aug. 1, Springstead told police that a civil agreement had been reached and that the girl and her family did not wish to press charges.
A supplemental police report dated June 24 stated that the girl and her mother told Springstead that they would be "settling the matter with the school seeking financial restitution, and that the criminal part was not as important to them."
Goorman, 64, has led the Warriors to five state championships. The Norton Shores man has coached and taught at the school for more than 40 years.

PETM Weirdness
If (and this is a key assumption that we'll get to later) this was the only forcing associated with the PETM event, how much warmer would we expect the planet to get? One might be tempted to use the standard 'Charney' climate sensitivity (2-4.5ºC per doubling of CO2) that is discussed so much in the IPCC reports. That would give you a mere 1.5-3ºC warming which appears inadequate. However, this is inappropriate for at least two reasons. First, the Charney sensitivity is a quite carefully defined metric that is used to compare a certain class of atmospheric models. It assumes that there are no other changes in atmospheric composition (aerosols, methane, ozone) and no changes in vegetation, ice sheets or ocean circulation. It is not the warming we expect if we just increase CO2 and let everything else adjust.
In fact, the concept we should be looking at is the Earth System Sensitivity (a usage I am trying to get more widely adopted) as we mentioned last year in our discussion of 'Target CO2'. The point is that all of those factors left out of the Charney sensitivity are going to change, and we are interested in the response of the whole Earth System – not just an idealised little piece of it that happens to fit with what was included in GCMs in 1979.
Now for the Paleocene, it is unlikely that changes in ice sheets were very relevant (there weren't any to speak of). But changes in vegetation, ozone, methane and aerosols (of various sorts) would certainly be expected. Estimates of the ESS taken from the Pliocene, or from the changes over the whole Cenozoic imply that the ESS is likely to be larger than the Charney sensitivity since vegetation, ozone and methane feedbacks are all amplifying. I'm on an upcoming paper that suggests a value about 50% bigger, while Jim Hansen has suggested a value about twice as big as Charney. That would give you an expected range of temperature increases of 2-5ºC (our estimate) or 3-6ºC (Hansen) (note that uncertainty bands are increasing here but the ranges are starting to overlap with the observations). ALl of this assumes that there are no huge non-linearities in climate sensitivity in radically different climates – something we aren't at all sure about either.
But let's go back to the first key assumption – that CO2 forcing is the only direct impact of the PETM event. The source of all this carbon has to satisfy two key constraints – it must be from a very depleted biogenic source and it needs to be relatively accessible. The leading candidate for this is methane hydrate – a kind of methane ice that is found in cold conditions and under pressure on continental margins – often capping large deposits of methane gas itself. Our information about such deposits in the Paleocene is sketchy to say the least, but there are plenty of ideas as to why a large outgassing of these deposits might have occurred (tectonic uplift in the proto-Indian ocean, volcanic activity in the North Atlantic, switches in deep ocean temperature due to the closure of key gateways into the Arctic etc.).
Putting aside the issue of the trigger though, we have the fascinating question of what happens to the methane that would be released in such a scenario. The standard assumption (used in the Zeebe et al paper) is that the methane would oxidise (to CO2) relatively quickly and so you don't need to worry about the details. But work that Drew Shindell and I did a few years ago suggested that this might not quite be true. We found that atmospheric chemistry feedbacks in such a circumstance could increase the impact of methane releases by a factor of 4 or so. While this isn't enough to sustain a high methane concentration for tens of thousands of years following an initial pulse, it might be enough to enhance the peak radiative forcing if the methane was being released continuously over a few thousand years. The increase in the case of a 3000 GtC pulse would be on the order of a couple of W/m2 – for as long as the methane was being released. That would be a significant boost to the CO2-only forcing given above – and enough (at least for relatively short parts of the PETM) to bring the temperature and forcing estimates into line.
Of course, much of this is speculative given the difficulty in working out what actually happened 55 million years ago. The press response to the Zeebe et al paper was, however, very predictable.

Let's face it: celebs are real people too and they will mess up! Here's our weekly look a celeb bad behavior.
Celebs Behaving Badly: Justin Bieber
Don't let that baby face fool ya: Justin Bieber has been quite the naughty one these days! Even before his split with Selena Gomez, the 18-year-old pop sensation has had his fair share of run-ins with the law, from slugging a paparazzo to speeding on the roads in his fancy cars to allegedly cheating on Sel. Since splitting with his Disney gal-pal, the Biebs has had more controversy than ever, getting caught smoking marijuana at a party and, most recently, baring his bum on Instagram. Bad Bieber!

After x days, early completion pushes task out
Example: I have a program at work I have to log into weekly, whether I need it or not to keep my access. I started with a task to log in every Tuesday. Some weeks, I don't otherwise log in and so need the reminder. However, other times, I need to log in to check something after my Tuesday login, say Thursday. Then I would not need to log In again to keep my access until he next Thursday.
"After" date is advertised as setting a due date x days after it's completed. However, it seems to simply postpone the task to the X day after it was due, not after completion. If "after 7 days" is the due date, I complete the task on a Tuesday, mark it off, and it resets for the next Tuesday; if I then have to do it again on Thursday and mark it complete 5 days early, it should reset to be due again the following Thursday. Instead, it pushes the task out an additional week from the Tuesday due date (12 days away) not from the date of completion (Thursday, 7 days away)
So as far as I can tell "after" does not perform as advertised, unless There is another date option that functions in this manner. Please advise.
All responses
As another example, cleaning: if I aspire to sweep at least once a week and need to be reminded to do such, I would use after 7 days. However, if one week I actually sweep every day and marked that I completed the task (to recalculate the due date), the current functions would not have me sweep again for 7 weeks, when really I need to sweep again 1 week after the last time I swept.
Hello Leah,
So far, I can't reproduce this issue. I set a task to "after 3 days", check it off and then it goes to "Saturday" (3 days from now). If I then check it off again, it will still stay at Saturday and each completion will result in moving it 3 days from the current date.
I've tried to set a task to "after 3 days starting yesterday" to simulate it being overdue, I checked it off - it moved to Saturday.
Then I've tried to set it to "after 3 days starting in 2 days" to simulate it being due Friday. I check it off - it also moves correctly to Saturday.
That said:
- Are you certain that you've set it to "after 7 days" and not "every 7 days" or "every Thursday"?
- What browser are you using and can you reproduce this issue in a different browser? If so - which one?
Best regards,
Sorry, checked the wrong box for platform. This does work in the web browser (safari), but in the app it just continuously pushes out the due date.
Please let us know what app are you referring to so we can try to reproduce this. We have apps for 13 platforms.
Best regards,
Both ipad and iPhone app
Thank you for clarifying, I've been able to reproduce it now. It will be fixed in the upcoming update of our iOS app.
Best regards,

Afghanistan is one of the poorest countries in the world, with 36% of the population living below the poverty line.
For three decades, wars and conflicts have been the biggest barriers to Afghanistan's development and have caused breakdowns in the social, economic and political structures.
There is an urgent need to secure lasting peace to give the country's economy a chance to function normally, and to enable state institutions to meet people's basic needs and defend their rights.
The position of women and girls in Afghanistan is still far from enviable. While 43% of Afghan males are literate, less than 13% of females are, and Afghanistan has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world.
Together with our partners, we are working to try to help people lead normal lives. Our rural development work helps them to develop and improve their farming and sell surplus crops.
Natural disasters, such as droughts and floods, have compounded the effects of conflicts, causing displacement and the loss of assets and resources.
We work alongside local authorities and communities to respond to these emergencies with humanitarian and development programmes.
Our vision in Afghanistan
Christian Aid Afghanistan wants to see poor, marginalised and vulnerable women and men in Afghanistan enjoying resilient livelihoods, justice and access to their entitlements.
Christian Aid is committed to working with our partners in Afghanistan to tackle poverty, provide life-changing support for the most vulnerable, and achieve greater accountability and transparency.
Our approach of working through local Afghan partner organisations means that we can work directly with the communities who need our help most.
We focus on protecting resources, preparing for disasters, increasing food security and promoting the rights of women.

NAGPUR: The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has cleared the confusion over its Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) by categorically stating that the students will be admitted to the management courses, especially for MBA, only through this test. It however clarified that the scores of five other entrance exams like CAT, MAT, XAT, ATMA, JMET would also be taken into consideration. Only IIMs and various deemed universities will be excluded from this purview.
"Beyond these, no other entrance exam would be considered for the admissions," AICTE chairman SS Mantha told TOI from Delhi.
The exam would be conducted online like last year. The Supreme Court too has given a green signal for the same. The exam will be conducted twice a year with a gap of six months and the candidates will have the liberty to appear for both attempts. The highest score out of the two attempts will be taken into the consideration during admissions. The candidates have been given an option to pick three cities from where they want to appear for the exam.
He added that all states have given their consent for CMAT. "Only Tamil Nadu had initially opposed it as they had some reservations about its conduct."
The AICTE chief added that about 3.5 lakh seats in 3,700 institutes offering PGDM and MBA programmes will be filled by CMAT to be held from February 21 to 25. "Among them about 20,000 seats are in 300 colleges offering PGDM," Mantha said.
He also warned that colleges from admitting students who have neither passed CMAT nor the other five test for PG management degrees and diplomas. He said that such students will be considered as ineligible and their degrees will not be recognized.
Mumbai-based Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) had made it very clear through its notification that students should be admitted in PGDM, PGDBM, MMS and MBA courses only through CMAT from 2013-14 academic session. The notification issued by technical education director Subash Mahajan stated that DTE had discontinued its popular MAH-MBA/MMS-CET from this year. The DTE called in the aspirants to appear for the CMAT to become eligible for admissions.
Over 500 candidates appeared in the last CMAT conducted online from February 20 to 28 in two shifts. Last year, Tulsiramji Gaikwad-Patil College of Engineering was the only centre in Vidarbha. This year, the number of centres may increase as the number of candidates will jump significantly.
The CMAT brochure is available at Rs 1,200 (Rs 600 for reserved category) and can be bought from SBI branches. They can also get it from the AICTE website.

We first learned about old sour on Harbour Island in the Bahamas, where we once bought a Bacardi bottle of the seafood seasoning, labeled by hand as "Patricia's." We've used it for years now, but we're novices with the concoction compared to the old-line "Conchs" in the Florida Keys, the native-born residents, who originally boasted a family link to Bahamians. Conchs made the elementary brew as a way to preserve the tangy juice of key limes when the fruit went out of season. They would just add salt and often chile to the juice, and then store it in a used liquor bottle to keep as a table sauce for years to come. The locals would feature their namesake conch as the main seafood in this salad, but given its scarcity in most markets, we suggest scallops as a substitute. Another Atlantic delicacy rarely eaten until well into the nineteenth century, scallops taste similar to conch in some ways, but lack its gritty toughness, so prized in the Keys.
- For the Old Sour:
- 2 cups fresh key lime juice, preferably, or other lime juice
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 or more small hot dried red chilies, optional
- For the Seafood Salad:
- 12 small clams, such as littleneck clams or cherrystones
- 1 lime, halved
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 teaspoons freshly milled black pepper
- 1-2 small hot dried red chilies, or 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 1/4 pounds large shrimp, shelled, and, if you wish, deveined
- 10-12 sea scallops, halved or quartered if larger than bite-size, or 3/4 pound conch, diced
- 3/4 pound red snapper or other white fish fillets, cut in bite-size chunks
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup minced red onion
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Several splashes of hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
- 2 tablespoons minced parsley
- Paprika
- Key limes, halved, or other limes, quartered lengthwise
Old sour is normally made ahead and stored for at least 4-6 weeks before serving. That kind of aging definitely benefits it, but if you're raring to toss together this refreshing seafood feast, even a day's aging will begin to develop the distinctive tang. Simply mix together the ingredients and pour into a small-necked bottle. With a rubber band or string, secure a small square of double thickness cheesecloth over the top and leave the bottle uncapped. Store in a cool dark cabinet until ready to use. After the old sour has aged a month or more, remove the cheesecloth and cap or cork the bottle. It keeps indefinitely at room temperature.
Cook the clams and shrimp separately for best taste and texture. First dump the clams, 1/2 - 1 inch of water and 1 tablespoon of old sour in a large saucepan. Steam over high heat until the clams open, 5-8 minutes. Discard any clams that don't open within several minutes of the others. Chill the clams for at least 1 hour. Drain the pan and rinse it.
Pour 8 cups of water in the pan and add 1 tablespoon of the old sour. Squeeze the lime into the water and then toss in the rinds. Add the bay leaves, salt, pepper and chilies, and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 5-10 minutes to flavor the water. Stir in the shrimp and cook over high heat for just 2 minutes. (The water should just come back to a boil in this time.)
Immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour off half the cooking liquid. Pour the remaining liquid and shrimp into a bowl and add a half-dozen ice cubes. Place the bowl in the freezer, if you have space, or alternatively in the refrigerator. Cool the shrimp briefly until cold to the touch. Pour off the remaining liquid, cover and refrigerate the shrimp for at least 1 hour.
While the clams and shrimp cool, mix together the scallops and fish in a large bowl with enough old sour to moisten the mixture, 4-6 tablespoons. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to "cook" in the old sour. Gently stir in the clams and shrimp, along with the bell pepper, onion, oil, hot pepper sauce and parsley. Serve in chilled stemmed glasses or clear glass bowls, if possible, to show the colors and shapes. Dust each portion with paprika and garnish with limes right before serving.

reorder and sub
it seems awkward that if i want to add a subtask, i have to add (to top of list), then reorder from one mode (r... r), then make it a subtask in another mode (select... deselect text). sorry, not really proposing how to smooth everything out, but i'm hoping you are already trying to mastermind the next system, and that you might want to keep this in mind.
i'm curious why you don't make a more drag and drop functionality to all these? does that slow down the programming while trying to get all the basic functionality down? or...
All responses
oh, never mind, i often figure stuff out right after i ask for help. i can add an item right above or below any of the subtasks and it will be "like".
Hi Brandy
While in reorder mode you can press 1, 2, 3 or 4 to change the indention level of a project/task. This is one of the more hidden features of Todoist.
Best regards,

Our World . . . Beyond DOOMSDAY . . .
Set in a Post-Apoctalyptic California town . . .
. . . It is the year 2017, and our world has been overrun by a virus that no one can identify or explain. There has been talk that the cause of the infection was some kind of hyper-terrestrial contagion; an attack upon our planet by some type of unseen alien life form. But again, everything is speculation and guesswork; and at this point, is it even relevant that the true cause of the epidemic be found?
There are other scientific theories about what has happened, but it is all suppositions and assumptions at this point. Religious fanatics say that we had it coming, and to become saved was the only way to survive these dark days – they were wrong, dead wrong.
As a result of this vicious attack, 97 percent of the earth's human population has been decimated. All of the recent human dead, now an army of pure, motorized aggression. The blitzkrieg incursion has significantly hindered the effectiveness of all energy and communication systems. The people who once maintained the power facilities and communication companies have either fallen to the UNDEAD, or have left their posts in haste, each person doing what they can to keep themselves and their families alive.
Food, water, weapons and other valuable resources have become extremely hard to come by as the remaining pockets of human survivors struggle to hold on; they are tired, scared, hungry and ultimately unsure of what a possible future may hold.
The fact is, it isn't just the UNDEAD that we have to worry about as we learn to survive on our world Beyond DOOMSDAY . . . there are things much more sinister and infinitely more malevolent that lurk in the shadows . . .
The video below features Amy Johnston, who plays our Amanda Bauer, AKA The Baton Girl character, during a fight choreography session for Thousand Pounds Action Company . . . she is pretty bad ass! And we are proud to have her on board!
The videos below are archived "Beyond DOOMSDAY" teasers - please, enjoy again, and tell EVERYONE to come back, watch again, and DONATE generously!!! Thanks EVERYONE!
WE are going to create DOOMSDAY!!! . . .
UNDEAD lore, and creatures that feed on the flesh of the living have fascinated the human mind and haunted our collective psyches since the beginning of time. TODAY, there is only one man out in the trenches fighting the mindless eating machines and training other survivors to fight back - to not only be survivors, but to become WARRIORS!
Ex-Army Captain L. Brandon Scott, better known by the moniker he has given his alter-ego self, Captain Z, is a Steve Irwin meets Bear Grylls-type for the UNDEAD. His mission, to teach others how to plan, prepare for, survive in, and become warriors against the UNDEAD insurgency that now infests our Post Apocalyptic planet.
"Beyond DOOMSDAY: The Chronicles of Captain Z" takes known "zombie" lore and story concepts and flips them on their heads.
The world we have created with "Beyond DOOMSDAY: The Chronicles of Captain Z", finds its base in the Horror/Thriller genre; but at its core, it is Science Fiction at its best!
"Beyond DOOMSDAY" is a mash-up of elements and inspiration from a variety of different television series, film productions, and genre novels. Think of it as John Carpenter's The Thing, meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the television series), meets the Bear Grylls' adventure and the survival show Man VS. Wild. Then, we add to all of this, a little dash of Evil Dead, a well-told Ghost Story, a pinch of Jonathan Maberry's Joe Ledger novel series, and it all takes place in a Post Apocalyptic world, not unlike the worlds of the Falling Skies television series, Battle L.A. and The Terminator film series.
THIS is "Beyond DOOMSDAY: The Chronicles of Captain Z"
The Main Players . . . OUR RAD CAST!
Ex-Army Special Forces Captain L. Brandon Scott, AKA Captain Z
Amanda Bauer, AKA The Baton Girl
The beautiful, yet lethal siren who is guardian of her devastated neighborhood. This Buffy the Vampire Slayer-type shows how the student can indeed become the teacher, showing Captain Z that there are many ways to dispatch the newly UNDEAD. Not only did she spin a mean baton while performing with her high school drill team, she is also an expert martial artist and weapons tactician! She, too, has a tragic story of loss. Eventually she becomes Z's second-in-command and weapons specialist. They become closer; their relationship strong and equally beneficial.
Morgan Petigrue, AKA The Wussy Kid with a Mop
A non-athletic and weak wussy boy when we first meet him, Morgan is trained by Captain Z and becomes one of his most fierce and vicious warriors against the UNDEAD and their Hybrid brethren. Morgan has also lost his family, and finds a new guardian, almost Father Figure in Z. Z takes a liking to him right away.
"BIG-A", AKA The Undead Hunter
We are not really sure where BIG-A comes from or how he has survived through the event that turned our planet upside down, but he seems to have Z's back when he needs it most - creeping out of manholes when Z and his ragtag group of warriors are in the thick of battle, including sniping the ALIEN UNDEAD with expertly placed head shots!!! BIG-A is an ALIEN UNDEAD HUNTER, and damn good at what he does . . . Z just wishes he would stay around long enough to thank him for his lifesaving deeds . . . is he a Superhero?!
Pilot Episode Production Goals
Our collective MUSE, our MAIN GOAL, as we begin our own journey, is to tell a well thought out, compelling, character-driven STORY?
What makes "Beyond DOOMSDAY: The Chronicles of Captain Z", stand apart from the rest? A compelling story being told through richly defined characters.
In order to bring this story to life, and tell the story the way it deserves to be told, production will cost money. To that end, we are asking all of our friends, family, work colleagues and total strangers to donate to the production through KICKSTARTER.
The money raised through KICKSTARTER will be used to finance the hard costs we will incur as we produce the pilot episode of "Beyond DOOMSDAY". These costs will include, but not be limited to: cast and crew compensation, securing a post-facility, gear and equipment rentals, location costs, lab services, hard drive storage, studio soundstage rentals, music licensing and other costs. YOU can help finance this film and help us bring the story of Captain Z to life!
All of us at PUSH Adventure Productions have been emboldened by the number of projects funded through KICKSTARTER. A few members of our production team have been involved with projects that have had successful KICKSTARTER campaigns; the most recent being one of our producers that funded a short horror film called Blue Hole. We hope to continue our collectives successes and have the opportunity to continue to create quality cinema. Your financial backing of "Beyond DOOMSDAY: The Chronicles of Captain Z" will facilitate the making of the pilot episode of the series and allow the production team to take creative risks and deliver a filmmaking vision like few have ever attempted, and fewer yet have accomplished. This pilot episode will then become a presentation piece that we will show during pitch meetings with some of the major television networks as we attempt to complete this creative cycle and have the opportunity to produce a full season and on-going series of "Beyond DOOMSDAY: The Chronicles of Captain Z".
"Beyond DOOMSDAY: The Chronicles of Captain Z" Production TEAM
Please visit the "Beyond DOOMSDAY" website to learn everything you ever wanted to know about the Production Team.
There is also much more information about the "Beyond DOOMSDAY" series, contests you can enter, behind-the-scenes photo galleries, conceptual art, etc.
Additional Conceptual Designs for "Beyond DOOMSDAY: The Chronicles of Captain Z"
Being a Environmentally-Conscious Production
In the spirit of environmental-consciousness, and in line with PUSH Adventure Production's commitment to Environmental Stewardship as we boldly state in our company's Mission Statement, the entire production of "Beyond DOOMSDAY: The Chronicles of Captain Z" will be filmed GREEN! We will utilize renewable and sustainable energies wherever and whenever possible, as well as, utilizing a BYOWB (Bring Your Own Water Bottle) campaign during the production, cutting down on the trash and waste that productions create. We want to pioneer innovative and inventive ways to produce sustainable, eco-friendly, and greener entertainment, while promoting and encouraging a healthier and more planet-friendly lifestyle in our viewership.

Tuesday, April 28, 2009On a night when a key figure in the history of Lipscomb athletics was honored, a new vision was also revealed.
Former Lipscomb basketball coach Don Meyer, the winningest coach in NCAA basketball history, was the featured speaker at the inaugural Don Meyer Evening of Excellence Tuesday night. More than 600 people dined on roast beef at a VIP dinner on the floor of Allen Arena while several hundred more attended dinners for various sports programs.
Coach Meyer is now head basketball coach at Northern State in Aberdeen, S.D.
Everyone was invited to hear coach Meyer in his keynote address following the dinners. More than 600 people attended the VIP dinner with approximately 600 more scattered around the various team dinners. More than 2,000 were in Allen Arena for Meyer's keynote address. Included in the crowd were many former athletes, fans and friends of the program who had not been seen on campus in quite some time prompting Philip Hutcheson, Lipscomb's Director of Athletics, to call it a "family reunion".
The biggest announcement of the evening was the formation of the National Bison Club (NBC) which will be providing financial support for Lipscomb's 17 varsity sports. The announcement was made by Hutcheson.
The motto is "Be a Bison for Life". Hutcheson also announced that Andy Lane, formerly the director of operations, is the executive director of the National Bison Club.
"Andy has more than 20 years here at Lipscomb," said Hutcheson. "I couldn't be more excited about Andy taking over this role."
Hutcheson used three of Meyer's guidelines for his players as the basis of what the athletic program wants to do in the future.
The first was "pick up trash" which means to leave a place better than it was when you first found it. Hutcheson stressed that the goal of the athletic department is to make things even better.
Second, coach Meyer always stressed saying "please", "thank you", "yes mam" and "yes sir". A lot of times it is the little things that make the difference in a ball game, in business, in the classroom or in life.
"The little things are what really matter," said Hutcheson. "We are trying to stress that with all of our athletic teams."
Third, he always stressed that everyone should take notes in an effort to improve, another area where the athletic department is working as the programs continue to improve in all areas.
"Places like Lipscomb and Northern State are places where quality and excellence are important," said Meyer. "You have to be a competitor. If you are competing you don't have time to complain. Competitors are too busy getting things done."
The new National Bison Club will have an emphasis on "national". The National Bison Club will help provide the daily support that athletics teams need such as airline tickets and van and bus rentals for away games, hotel rooms and food.
"We want to continue to reach our fans in the Nashville community and we do a good job of that, but we also want to reach farther," said Hutcheson. "We need your support."
Before the start of the keynote address there was a video presentation about coach Meyer produced by Nelson Eddy and Jimmy Chaffin at Dye, Van Mol & Lawrence Public Relations and Advertising.
State Senator Jim Tracy presented coach Meyer with a proclamation from the State of Tennessee honoring his coaching record.
Coach Meyer was introduced by Buster Olney, ESPN senior writer, who covered the Lipscomb Bisons when he was reporter for the old Nashville Banner.
Lipscomb Lady Bisons basketball coach Frank Bennett closed out the evening with a prayer.
The dinner and keynote address were all parts of a busy day for coach Meyer. He spoke at a chapel service, spent two hours with coaches at lunch and then met with several members of the media. The lunch with the coaches was especially significant since the food was provided by Captain D's, one of coach Meyer's favorite restaurants when he lived in Nashville.
Dairy King provided the food for the dinners.
In Meyer's keynote address he spoke of how he felt that Philip Hutcheson, one of his former players, was the only choice to be the next director of athletics at Lipscomb.
"I am here because of Hutch," said Meyer. "I wanted him to get this job. I felt if the school didn't make that choice they would be making a very, very tragic mistake. I hope he will prove me right as time goes on.
"I think Hutch is going to be an outstanding athletic director. I believe he has the ability to get the most for and the most out of each sport."
Meyer stressed that Hutcheson has everything that Warren Buffett looks for in the people he hires in the financial world.
"Hutch has the work ethic, the intelligence and the character," said Meyer. "And the first two, without the last one, will kill you. But he has character and the coaches know that.
"He has the ability to the most for and most out of each sport. And he will spend as much time on programs that are not revenue sports as he will the revenue sports."
Coach Meyer also talked about the visionary qualities of Hutcheson.
"He can see the picture," said Meyer. "You know he can sell the picture. And then he will get everybody to paint the picture. He won't try to do it all by himself. That is what will make the situation great."
Meyer directed the Bisons to the NAIA National Championship in 1986. He produced, an all-time collegiate record 41 wins in a season and more wins than any NCAA men's basketball coach in history. The program under coach Meyer also produced the top two scorers in collegiate history along with the all-time career leaders in 3-point shooting, steals and assists. Coach Meyer also produced three national players of the year and 22 All-Americans. His camps are legendary and have attracted instructors ranging from John Wooden to Pat Summitt.
Meyer talked of the automobile accident that almost cost him his life this past fall, and did cost him part of one leg. The portion of the leg that remains is known as "Little Buddy". He gave the audience a glimpse of the excruciating pain he endured, especially when his bandages needed to be changed. He talked of faith, family and friends, the "F" words that mean so much in everyone's life.

Smartest Move They Ever Made
I want to fill you in on some more cool cats that are now slamming MEINL cymbals. Smartest move they ever made... :-)
Ethan Luck - The first time I saw Ethan, he was onstage at The End in Nashville, Tennessee playing rhythm guitar for one of the best singer-songwriters out there, John Davis. The next time I saw Ethan, he was onstage at Rocket Town in Nashville, Tennessee playing bass guitar for the extremely bada** metal band from Seattle, Demon Hunter (whose drummer Tim 'Yogi' Watts is a MEINL Cymbal artist by the way...). The next time I saw Ethan, he was drum-teching for the power-pop rock maestros Relient K. Now, Ethan IS in Relient K! So now Ethan is gearing up to head out on the road with the band to get down to some serious business. You can catch him all over the US this summer on the entire length of the VANS Warped Tour, where he'll never get a shower, he'll eat bad catering and he'll wait 23 hours a day to play one hour. However, there's a happy ending to all of this, and that is that Ethan will be playing to thousands of people every day and will be loving it! Not bad...
Click here to see Ethan's artist page.
Scott Batiste = Scott slams the cymbals for the Oakland, California metal outfit, Saviours...and these guys are as cool as it comes. MEINL Cymbal artist, Trivett Wingo of The Sword, hipped me to Scott and Saviours and boy!...am I glad that he did. When you throw Saviours' CD into the stereo, a shower of killer metal infused by the honest vibe of rock and roll from the early 70's hits you hard. Scott's drumming shows shades of Ian Paice, Bonzo and Bill Ward. He plays with a tight yet swinging feel that makes you absolutely want to nod your head in rhythmic agreement. These guys are always on tour and are really happening. I recommend giving them a real listen.
Click here to see Scott's artist page.
Allen Blickle - Allen is with the Brooklyn, New York-based Baroness. Another very, very cool band. These guys must be doing something right, because their Red Album just won the 2007 Album of the Year award in Revolver Magazine, and rightfully so. Allen plays with a creativity that elevates Baroness' blend of metal and punk rock ethics, making it an absolutely genuine experience. One minute they have you in a trance with hypnotic passages and the next minute they're crushing your skull with piledriving riffs and beats that rule.
Click here to see Allen's artist page.
So check these drummers and their bands out. Great stuff!
By the way, my colleague Norbert Saemnan is out of the office while feeling a bit under the weather. He'll be able to respond to all comments on his blogs next week when he returns.
Thanks for reading and take care!

Hi Natalia. I\'m glad to know that you found something new with these guys. I always love it when I find new music and new musicians. It\'s what keeps things interesting! Any new music you\'ve been into lately that the rest of us should know about?...

Woman injured in Thousand Oaks fire
An elderly woman was taken to a hospital conscious and alert following a structure fire in the 2600 block of Sirius Street in Thousand Oaks Saturday morning, officials said.
Firefighters responded about 11:40 a.m. to a single story, singe family dwelling with light smoke showing, according to the Ventura County Fire Department.
Crews upgraded their response after it was discovered that a woman was trapped inside the residence, said Mike Lindberry, a spokesman for the department.
The woman was rescued from the residence and taken to a nearby hospital. Another person who tried to rescue the woman by breaking through a glass window was also treated for minor injuries, Lindberry said.
Seven small dogs were saved from the flames and were left with a family friend, officials said.
The blaze originated in the kitchen but it did not spread, Lindberry said. The fire was reported out about 8:55 a.m., officials said.
The cause of the fire was still under investigation.

A year of limping due to knee surgery encouraged Jee to start practicing yoga in 2000. It worked! And in 2001, she completed her first teacher training course with a qigong teacher in Seoul, Korea.
Read More
Joe began a hatha yoga practice in 2006, and just ten weeks into it noticed such significant changes—diminished shoulder pain, decreased blood pressure, weight loss, and a new stillness in his mind—that he was a believer. Two years later, he was trading in a successful corporate career to become a yoga instructor.
You've probably seen or heard about Mallory around town, as she is the creative force behind the public art organization, St. Louis Improv (and many other artistic initiatives). In this role and as a yoga teacher, her goal is to "support people in a way that makes them feel comfortable and courageous enough to explore themselves fully, to be with themselves and to listen to and move with what they learn."
Stacy started practicing yoga at just 12 years old, after leaving the gymnastics team due to wear on her body. She found yoga to be the perfect replacement- challenging, but gentle and encouraging respect for the body, which was a welcome message after many years of pressure from coaches to "push through pain" and "be the best".
Laurie discovered yoga in 1998 and fell in love with the practice after her first deep savasana. Drawn to the mental clarity and body awareness and acceptance she found in the practice, Laurie began practicing asana regularly and exploring yoga philosophy, and yoga soon became an integral part of her lifestyle.
Nathan began practicing yoga as a curious corporate engineer searching for a way to cope with the stress of modern everyday life. Through yoga he started to reap many benefits and his practice grew stronger until he decided to leave his engineering job to study yoga and health full-time.
Carrie joined Urban Breath Yoga in 2012, after spending eleven years in New Yoga and Los Angeles. Shortly after moving to New York City to pursue an MFA at New York University, she began a regular yoga practice at a tiny studio she stumbled upon in Brooklyn and immediately fell in love with the grounding and calm the practice provided her in the midst of a major life transition.
Hannah started practicing yoga in 2005 to balance the physical effects of her long distance running, and it soon became as integral in her life as food, water and sleep. When her job as a social worker left her exhausted, she actively sought out work that would be more physical, calming, and personally therapeutic and completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2010 with Bill Raup at Power Yoga Works (a Baptiste-affiliated studio) in Philadelphia.
Maggie keeps her classes simple so students can focus on the postures and transitions without getting lost in complicated sequencing. She includes a good balance of breath, movement, and stillness, encouraging students toward greater self-awareness, strength, and flexibility.
Madeleine's mother, a dancer, took her to her first Ashtanga yoga class. She greatly admired her first teacher, Adele Gale, who Madeleine describes as "the essence of natural, wild beauty, strong and commanding, but also soft and loving".
Chien's classes are so fun and playful, mindful and relaxing that you may not even realize the hard core workout you're getting. In fact, one of his favorite parts of teaching is seeing the relaxed smiles on students' sweaty faces at the end of a class.
You'll leave Jessica's class with a heightened sense of calm, and maybe a few sore muscles. She focuses on balancing effort and ease in her teaching and encourages students to apply the lessons they learn on the mat to their everyday lives.
Although Steve started yoga in 1993, he sees beginning a 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2005 as the start of his true yoga practice. He completed that course in 2007, as well as a 500-hour training in 2014, both with Pam Schulte of Just Practice Yoga.
Winning a yoga mat at a health fair in 2006 changed Beth's life. She was studying with the American Ballet Theatre in New York City at the time, but shortly after getting that free mat and starting to practice yoga, she decided to end her professional ballet career in St. Louis to delve deeper into yoga and attend college full time (She was the first person in her family to graduate from college, receiving a Bachelor's degree in English, with a minor in women's and gender studies in 2009).
After ending a rigorous swimming career in college, Carly found that a yoga practice offered a seamless transition to ease her mind, restore her body, and maintain movement.
Sarah started practicing yoga in 2005 to supplement her cross country work. Little did she know at that time that yoga would help her overcome some significant personal struggles. "I practice now because it is my medicine and my connection to the beauty around me and in myself," Sarah says.
Britta's yoga practice began in childhood. She says, "I enjoyed making animal shapes and sounds in yoga as a child...and still do!"
From starting up Yoga Buzz St. Louis, which pairs yoga with beer/wine/coffee tastings, to traveling to Bulgaria to film online classes, Elle is always looking for ways to keep yoga (and life) interesting.
Bio coming soon.
SiriAtma's yoga journey began in the summer of 2010 when she started practicing to relieve stress. Just two years later, she completed her first yoga teacher training in hatha yoga with East-West Natural Healing and in 2013, she finished a 200-hour Kundalini yoga training with SatInder Kaur Khalsa and KartaPurkh Singh Khalsa at the Sat Tirath Ashram in Kansas City.
Katie came to yoga to deal with the stresses of being a public school teacher in 2010. By 2014, she had completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training with Lisa Bloom in Minneapolis.
In 2003, when Andrew started his yoga practice, he thought it would be just a part of his overall workout plan, a way to stretch out. Yoga ended up being more significant in his life than he intended, and in 2012, he completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training with Tina Harrison in O'Fallon, Missouri.

(Andrew D. Bernstein/Getty Images)Kobe Bryant will not play for the Lakers in their regular season opener against the Clippers on Oct. 29.Following the Lakers' 111-106 victory over the Jazz in their preseason finale, coach Mike D'Antoni ruled out the 15-time All-Star guard for the much-anticipated, nationally-televised opening night match-up."No, my God," D'Antoni replied, when asked if Bryant would play. "I know he's Superman, but my God. He hasn't run yet."The post-game press conference, which marked D'Antoni's first definitive assessment of Bryant's opening night availability, was videotaped by LakersNation.com.L.A. completed its exhibition slate with a 4-4 record.Bryant underwent Achilles surgery in mid-April and his initial timeline was set at 6-to-9 months. He told reporters two weeks ago that he would need roughly "three weeks" of conditioning before he was ready to go, suggesting that he would be out for the season opener.Earlier this week, the five-time champion told reporters that he had "scaled back" his activity following the Lakers' return from a tour through Asia."I was cranking it up the entire time I was in China," Bryant said, in comments videotaped by NBCLA.com. "I've scaled back since, just to let it heal up a little bit more and get a little bit more flexibility to it. It feels good to just run and break a sweat by running.While in China, Bryant did his best to preach a patient approach."The hardest part is not thinking ahead," Bryant said in target="_blank">videotaped comments. "If you think ahead about what it's going to be like when I come back, you get excited, but you get disappointed because you're still here in this predicament. One of the things I haven't really tested is the getting off the floor part, the jumping part. I've got to measure that. That's got to be next. You want to get out there and push a little bit, but you've got to keep your patience but it's tough. You've got to focus on the moment, focus on day by day getting better, and believing that that time will come."Bryant spent a portion of his offseason wearing a boot following his 2012-13 season-ending surgery. In August, he was cleared to run on an anti-gravity treadmill. The Associated Press reports that Bryant's training regimen has advanced to jogging."I've got to get my fat ass in shape," Bryant joked earlier this month. "Six months of eating whatever the hell I wanted to eat and not running, stuff like that. I've got to get in shape."That self-deprecating "fat ass" quip came one day after he discussed his recent trip to Germany for platelet-rich plasma therapy on his right knee during an in-game interview aired on Time Warner Cable SportsNet."It's going well, I feel good," he said, during the Lakers' preseason win over the Nuggets on Oct. 8. "Obviously I feel like I'm ahead of schedule. It's about kind of getting that range of motion where I feel like I can run comfortably. The last stage is really the explosiveness and the muscle endurance and that will come." Bryant, 35, is entering the final year of a contract that will pay him an NBA-high $30.5 million. He needs just 676 points to move past Michael Jordan for the No. 3 spot on the all-time scoring list. Promoted Stories Comments
