Edit. The NCAA has hit them with the Failure to Monitor.
Edit. The NCAA has hit them with the Failure to Monitor.
Genius move by them to slide this weak sauce out when all the headlines are in State College.
Since the NCAA has laid the FTM down on OSU, I am left to assume they are finally taking the violations seriously. Since they are now being serious, this leads me to believe they will also see the 5 scolies over 3 years as a joke as well. Its only logic.
NCAA basically doubled what we self imposed. I think they (ohio) are hoping for 10 of 3-4 years. I think they should lose 5 per year over 3 years and a 2 year bowl ban. Just to make it sting a little more.
Now is the time to get all of your bad news out there!!!
Joe Paterno has the power to turn mgoblog into Post Secret.
maybe they'll finally fire smith
walking at this point. My bet is they keep him around until we get the final decision from the NCAA, and if they impose any additional penalties, he's gone. Otherwise, he stays through June (end of the academic year) and retires.
That would mean he can hire the football coach though. If he pulls in a Meyer or whatever, does anyone in OSU circles thinks he can/should stay on?
that Smith is out no matter what, and that the Trustees are running the athletics department right now. I know from a couple of people that they're much much more handson than they have been. I wouldn't be surprised if the coaching search is out of Gene's hands.
I don't think people understand, Urban Meyer is not going to be the next head coach at Ohio State. I doubt Meyer, a guy that can basically have his pick of jobs that open, will want to walk into that situation. What coach would, let alone the top coaching candidate in the country?
as ugly as it is you will be locked in for a decent time at a very high price, giving a good coach time to install his system with little pressure to provide championships "RIGHT NOW", and who knows if the fallout ends in post-season ban, but if it does then thats even less pressure, while building and installing a system. good facilities, a campus crazy about football,
and as much as we laugh, it IS Ohio State, they will rebound, just as we are rebounding.you all laugh but i can see rich rod / bill stewart/ jeff casteel reunite down the road and well 2 of the 3 are out of coaching jobs and the 3rd (casteel) wants to coach with the other two given the chance.
I don't think Meyer would go to OSU any more than you do. It would be the one thing that could save Smith's job, though.
What a joke.
Talk about giving yourself a slap on the wrist. 5 scholarships over 3 years is probably par for the course given the way OSU has handled the whole situation.
It's about time the NCAA finally got serious by informing OSU that they were being accused of failure to moniter (which is the real news in all of this). I think the NCAA will see their humerous scholarship reductions and raise them 10-15 scholarships over that same period.
is that 5 over 3 years (as in 2 - 2 - 1)
Or 5 each year for 3 years ( 5 5 5)?
Never got the wording here.
5 over 3 years (2-2-1). Pretty weak punishment for failure to monitor, the second worst violation an athletic demartment can be accused of. Compounded with the previous findings, I could see the NCAA adding significantly to those numbers.
Maybe it's time things got serious... 9 scholarships each year for the next 3 years.
My 9-9-9 plan.
USC = Booster cheats and they lose 30 scholarships + bowl ban
tsio = Head Coach cheats and they lose 5 scholarships and NO bowl ban
Somehow ... that just doesn't seem to have a relationship to reality at all.
Also - hey Delany ... get off the tsio "fanclub" and do your fucking job. Or does the B1G now tolerate cheaters at any level without you doing anything ? Time to remove Delany if he doesn't penalize conference schools that KNOWINGLY disregard the rules.
Go Blue!
I don't know how they did this, but USC signed 29 players last year. When is the loss os scholarships supposed to start?
I believe this year and runs until 2014-2015.
the "pain" starts after this season. The bowl ban is currently in effect ... so once they become eligible to play in the bowls - they'll have fewer scholarship players. This is a real punishment, considering it was ONE player (Reggie Bush) from one booster.
Tressel, being the Head Coach and involving multiple players is (IMO) much more defiant of the NCAA rules. This "ain't" rocket science.
Go Blue!
It's 2-2-1. And keep in mind that the reductions are not cumulative. They are limited to 83 for 2012, 2013, and then 84 for 2014. They get to hand out two less schollies in 2012 than would otherwise be allowed (a meaningless punishment since their class is way below par anyways). In 2013, they hand out the same amount that they otherwise would. In 2014, they hand out one more than they otherwise would because they are going from 83 total schollies to 84. In 2015, they hand out another extra one. Really what they call a five scholarship penalty for three years is actually a two scholarship penalty for one year.
The effect of scholarship penalties is overrated. The penalties as they are structured only affect one recruiting class.
Hey don't underestimate the importance of having a scholarship kicker and punter on the team. We all know what can happen.
No one calls this a five scholarship penalty for five years, it's a penalty over five years, big difference. Obviously five scholarships over three years isn't a big penalty, but it's better than nothing. Think if we couldn't sign two of the guys we signed last year. Without having hindsight, that could have really hurt. And if we couldn't make up for it in the following class.
It wouldn't have worked that way in our case, as we were under our total scholarships allowed anyhow. OSU could work it the same way, where it has zero real effect if the NCAA were to allow their self imposed "penalty" to stand.
double post
This isn't a penalty; it's an opening bid. THE Ohio State University's response to their violations is equivalent to walking into an automobile dealership and offering 5K for a 2012 Cadillac CTS-V. Of course, they have plenty of experience at the Cadillac dealership, so I guess it's just business as usual.
OSU is saying this is ONLY about the booster's envelopes of cash and jobs-that-aren't-jobs scandal. This is TOTALLY SEPARATE from the tattoo issues. For real. That's what the AD says. UNRELATED! ISOLATED INCIDENTS! MOVE ALO.... oh. right. We were already on probation for the first things when these things happened....
ESPN Article says that OSU will appear again before the NCAA on December 10th to answer the new allegations.
That probably means another three months after the Dec. 10th hearing date before the NCAA issues its findings. Thats well past signing day. Guessing the uncertainty might help us with Brionte Dunn (or at least I hope it does).
EL LINKO: http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7217079/ncaa-slaps-ohio-state-buckeyes-failure-monitor-charge
The article spells out a little more detail about the new NCAA allegations. Best part:
"the NCAA said Ohio State "failed to educate football student-athletes about DiGeronimo, encourage them to cease interaction with him or inquire about their potential employment with DiGeronimo and attendance at the charity event."
DiGeronimo's charity, called Cornerstone of Hope, was involved with a secondary violation involving a lack of paperwork in 2006. In its response, Ohio State said it told DiGeronimo to stop interacting with coaches, visiting athletic facilities and being around the program.
However, the school still allowed athletes to work at DiGeronimo's company and attend his charity events -- though it said players were strongly encouraged to fill out the necessary paperwork to do so.
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said in a statement that the school accepts "that we should have done more to oversee Mr. DiGeronimo's activities."
COME ON!!! How the hell does this Smith guy manage to continue to draw a paycheck from OSU?
Gee's cover letter asks the NCAA to review the case over the week of November 28th and issue and "render a final decision on this case on this case as soon thereafter as possible."
We'll see how that goes, but it doesn't sound like OSU wants to go to the COI meeting on the 10th. It sounds like this has been in the works for a while, so a final conclusion might be quicker than usual.
Hey, it's a start! Hopefully much more to come.
For the love of god---make this happen NCAA!
Least it delays things further. The longer the NCAA delays, the longer before OSU can move on. I believe the standard protocol iS 90 days after the meeting witht he NCAA before the school gets an answer. This will put them out until spring and definitely leave the remainder of the year and into signing day where there won't be an answer. The cloud of uncertainty should hurt them as much or more as whatever sanctions are coming.
No shit. How happy is Wisconsin now? They are going to have that division to themselves for 3 or 4 years now.
Keep it coming, DUNN!!!!
You said the magic word. DUNN! Brionte will have to make up his mind before the NCAA comes down with a verdict. Best possible scenario.
has the latest on the insider for espn regarding Dunn. IMO is a bowl ban this year enough not to get one or two years for the bowl ban? And possibly keep him comitted.
just talked to Dunn.
I was simply asking since Ohio has a bowl ban this year. If they get a 2 year ban, meaning this year and next would that make Dunn go blue or stay at Ohio. Pretty hard to read right!
In your post, you started a sentence with "In my opinion..." and then turned it into a question. How does that even happen?
ohio state has a bowl ban this year? did I miss something?
You're not the only one. I think OSU considered self-imposing a bowl ban, but that was when a) it looked like we wouldn't be bowl eligible, or wouldn't be in a good bowl, and b) Fickell was definitely a one & done coach and it'd give the new guy a head start on recruiting. Now, I don't know what the plan is.
Not looking good, must say.
If only we had a cousin or a good friend, maybe an OL, that could talk Dunn into heading north.
Oh well...
slap your freshman comp teacher.
Yes.... this is pretty hard to read.
English, mother fucker! Do you speak it?
"Ohio State officials have insisted that the athletic compliance program directed by Doug Archie is "cutting edge" and among the best in the nation." Hardy-har-har. You can't write better comedy that that.
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uY0VyRj2YE4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I haven't taken a journalism class, but perhaps its common to end a collumn with a funny joke?
"cutting edge" compliance program... OSU has now become the blueprint for self-policing.
"DiGeronimo also brought meals to the football coaching staff once a week." and "Tressel saw DiGeronimo attempting to hide in a locker to listen to Tressel's pre-game speech."
I/m sorry, this guy is a loser.

|Effect of weight loss without salt restriction on the reduction of blood pressure in overweight hypertensive patients.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 337144 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Overweight patients with uncomplicated essential hypertension were followed up biweekly for six months: 24 not receiving antihypertensive-drug therapy (Group I) and 83 on regular but inadequate (despite drug manipulation) antihypertensive-drug therapy (Group II). All patients in Group I and 57 randomly selected patients from group II (IIa) participated in a weight-reduction program. The remaining 26 from Group II (IIb) did not receive a dietary program. Salt intake was in the normal range in all three groups. All patients on the dietary program lost at least 3 kg (mean, 10.5 kg), and all but two showed a meaningful reduction in blood pressure; 75 per cent of Group I and 61 per cent of Group IIa returned to normal blood pressure. The weight and blood-pressure reductions were highly significant (P less than 0.001), were present in both sexes and all ages, and were directly associated. In Group IIb, no significant change in blood pressure or weight occurred (P greater than 0.30).

EAST FALMOUTH — They came to Alchemy Farm to mourn.
But there were no formal eulogies. The microphone was used only by the musicians. It was an extreme case of no one knew what to say.
The young people — most of them still in high school — could only try to support each other in their grief.
They had gathered last week for a memorial service for Sean Stigberg-Mellman, a resident of Falmouth since he was 4 years old. Dead at the age of 19 from a heroin overdose.
If anything, the many adults in attendance could only ask questions, especially, "What can we do to protect other children?"
That was a difficult one because Kathleen Stigberg, one of Sean's mothers, worked at Gosnold on Cape Cod, the Cape's largest addiction treatment organization, for five years in admissions and as a case manager. She's also been in recovery for 30 years from alcoholism.
She knew the warning signs and what to do about them.
Also, Sean was a responsible young man, who excelled in athletics, and wasn't a big risk-taker. Polite, helpful, is how adults described him. He did well at Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical School until senior year when his life began to unravel.
"You ask him to do something, and he always did it," said Patricia Mellman, his other mother.
"You could give him a long leash because he was so responsible," Stigberg said.
So when Sean started trying drugs, it didn't seem like a big deal.
He started smoking marijuana at about 12, said his childhood friend, Silas Larkin, 18, of Falmouth. They both did, Larkin added.
"I didn't think what we did together would lead to shooting up," Larkin said.
Sean's mothers knew about the pot. Stigberg knew how serious drug use is at that age.
If he wanted to get a driver's license, she told him, he couldn't be smoking pot. She started to drug test him, she said.
That's why she's pretty sure when he got his license at 17, he wasn't smoking pot, much less shooting heroin, she said.
When he was 18, however, Mellman, who lives just minutes from Stigberg in East Falmouth, made a shocking discovery.
Sean had moved in with Mellman for his senior year, after living much of his life at Stigberg's house. The women had broken up after adopting Sean and Zachary, who is younger by just a few months, as infants. Sean's biological parents battled addiction, Mellman said. Although the women separated years ago, they always lived near each other to raise the children.
One morning in February 2013, Mellman was driving Sean to school and he could barely keep his eyes open. He leaned out of the car and vomited. And then Mellman noticed his arm.
There was a single needle mark.
"I drove him to school saying 'Dope is for dopes. Dope is for dopes,'" Mellman recalled.
At home, it didn't take her long to find a burnt spoon by his bedside.
The next night Stigberg confronted Sean.
"'I know you're doing something more serious, and I don't even need to know what it is,'" Stigberg told him. "'But you need help.'"
"He just broke down and cried and said he was trying to stop on his own," Stigberg recalled.
At the memorial last week, parents asked if the death of another teenager would save others from what some are calling the largest drug epidemic in American history.
Drug overdose deaths have more than doubled between 1999 and 2010, according to a 2013 analysis by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It stated that 38,329 people died from drug overdoses in the United States in 2010 compared with 16,849 deaths in 1999. The rise in drug deaths is mainly attributed to the use and abuse of opiate-based prescription painkillers such as OxyContin, which hit the market in the late 1990s. Addiction to pills created a huge market for heroin, which hit the suburbs by storm.
During the same time period, Massachusetts has seen annual increases in drug overdose deaths.
According to the most recent Massachusetts statistics in 2011, poisonings — which are mostly drug overdoses — increased 16 percent in a single year. There were 972 poisoning deaths in 2011 compared with 839 in 2010.
In Falmouth in 2014, firefighters administered 60 doses of Narcan, an overdose reversal medicine, said Fire Chief Mark Sullivan. Four of the overdoses were fatal, said police Lt. Sean Doyle. Only 45 Narcan doses were given out during the entire fiscal year 2010. .
And these aren't stereotypical junkies, Sullivan said: "Now we're getting the kid next door."
Sean's friends have grown up with this.
"Falmouth is a heroin den," said Sean's girlfriend, Mackenzie Phillips, also 19 and in recovery for alcoholism.
"Just because it's not blatantly obvious doesn't mean it's not here."
"I walked into a Falmouth High School bathroom when I was a freshman (two years ago) and saw someone doing a line on the toilet," said Cady Duff-Still, 17, of Falmouth.
"If you're at a party, you will be offered everything, even heroin," she continued.
"It's not even surprising anymore," said another 17-year-old who asked not to be identified. "I just found out my best friend is doing heroin. And I'm not shocked."
It's only surprising to the general public because so often it's a closely guarded secret, said Marie Phillips, Mackenzie's mother.
"It's unacknowledged and that's why I'm so proud of Kathy for the way she wrote the obituary," Marie Phillips added. Sean's obituary named his cause of death as "an accidental drug overdose."
"I feel that Sean has passed his spirit, and I feel like how can you not tell kids that if you do drugs this is what happens. You end up dead at 19," said Mellman, who helped write the obituary. "I felt it honored him. He did heroin, but he was a good kid who loved everyone and had a lot of friends and I think it's important people know — these aren't rotten kids."
If only knowledge could keep you clean, said Deborah Heavilin, a drug abuse prevention educator who counseled Sean.
Sean had been to treatment for six weeks in March, after what Stigberg described as a terrible episode of depression, anxiety and heroin abuse. It was actually his second treatment, but it's hard to count the first, a six-day admission to a detox hospital at Gosnold after his parents discovered his habit in 2013. Detox admissions help with the physical withdrawal symptoms, but it's not nearly enough, and yet it's often all that insurance covers. Many experts say it takes months or a year of intense recovery treatment to pull someone out of active addiction.
Like most in recent recovery, Sean was struggling upon his return from detox, Stigberg said.
The second treatment, nearly a year after the first, began at Gosnold. After two weeks, he went to the Ambulatory Treatment Program at Naukeag, a residential program in Ashburnham for substance abuse and psychiatric disorders. Stigberg said she had suspected for years that Sean suffered from depression. She said she even tried counseling when he was a preteen. But the shy and quiet young man loathed talk therapy.
At Naukeag, a psychiatrist prescribed antidepressants, and they began to help almost immediately, Stigberg said.
And for awhile afterward, Sean embraced his new lifestyle. He went to 12-step meetings, and drove other young people to meetings. That's how he met Mackenzie.
Mackenzie said she had just 30 days sober when they first started driving together. She had 119 at his memorial service, she said.
Sean had almost 60 days, after one brief relapse with alcohol, she said.
"He was beating himself up about that first relapse," she said.
"You do drugs to get out of your own skin," she said. "First you want to do it, then you have to do it. Sean knew all this, and he wanted to be clean."
But knowledge isn't all it takes, said Heavilin, now the facilitator for a weekly Mothers Helping Mothers group, to assist addicted mothers coping with perhaps the worst guilt of all.
In her years in addiction treatment, Heavilin has seen how the disease trumps all sense and logic. She knew a man who was so terrified of overdosing that he'd drive to a hospital parking lot to shoot heroin, hoping at least someone would find him before he died.
"That's what this disease is like," she said.
In the final days of Sean's life, small decisions and circumstances created the worst-case scenario.
Living back with Stigberg, Sean came home on the afternoon of July 10 excited and grabbing burgers and sodas from the refrigerator.
He said he and Mackenzie were going to a cookout at a friend's house. He dropped her back home at about 10 p.m. after the barbecue.
Mackenzie said she was worried about him.
She said he had not refilled his prescription for antidepressants and he was in a lot of pain that night, Mackenzie said. Stigberg had meant to pick up the medicine herself but forgot.
And this part was hard for her to talk about.
"I feel it was my fault," she said.
She had to go out of town for two days to help her stepmother. She left $30 for him and asked him to pick up the prescription himself.
"He never did and he didn't tell his mom because he was embarrassed," Mackenzie said.
Mackenzie kept calling on the morning of July 11. Stigberg didn't pick up figuring it was for Sean. Finally Zachary brought the persistently ringing phone to Stigberg.
Mackenzie wanted to know if Sean had gone to work. He had a job putting up party tents for outdoor functions.
Stigberg saw his car outside and walked down to his basement bedroom. She found him on his knees, with his upper body bent forward.
Mellman insisted on going to see him.
"Now I wish I never did because the image keeps going through my mind," she said.
More than two weeks later, Sean's laundry still sat folded on his couch and desk, along with a bathing suit Stigberg just brought him.
Stigberg kept the sticky notes he left her in the morning. Usually they said, "Fed Gertie (their dog) and let her out. Working 8 a.m. — 5 p.m. Love Sean."
He had apparently kept her notes, too. Hers, much more emotional, were meant to help him through his time at Gosnold.
And now his mother has those, too.
"Sean, I love you to the moon and back," she wrote. "I am so proud to have you as my son."

Quick Information
Solicitation 13-517
Important Notice to Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG), NSF 13-1, was issued on October 4, 2012 and is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 14, 2013. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 13-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
Please be aware that significant changes have been made to the PAPPG to implement revised merit review criteria based on the National Science Board (NSB) report, National Science Foundation's Merit Review Criteria: Review and Revisions. While the two merit review criteria remain unchanged (Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts), guidance has been provided to clarify and improve the function of the criteria. Changes will affect the project summary and project description sections of proposals. Annual and final reports also will be affected.
A by-chapter summary of this and other significant changes is provided at the beginning of both the Grant Proposal Guide and the Award & Administration Guide.
Full Proposal Deadline Date: January 23, 2014
Fourth Thursday in January, Annually Thereafter
The Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) serves to increase access to shared scientific and engineering instruments for research and research training in our Nation's institutions of higher education, and not-for-profit museums, science centers and scientific/engineering research organizations. This program especially seeks to improve the quality and expand the scope of research and research training in science and engineering, by supporting proposals for shared instrumentation that fosters the integration of research and education in research-intensive learning environments. Each MRI proposal may request support for the acquisition (Track 1) or development (Track 2) of a single research instrument for shared inter- and/or intra-organizational use; development efforts that leverage the strengths of private sector partners to build instrument development capacity at MRI submission-eligible organizations are encouraged.
To accomplish the program's goals, the MRI program assists with the acquisition or development of a shared research instrument that is, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs. The instrument is expected to be operational for regular research use by the end of the award period. For the purposes of the MRI program, a proposal must be for either acquisition (Track 1) or development (Track 2) of a single instrument or for equipment that, when combined, serves as an integrated research instrument (in contrast to requests for multiple instruments that enable research in a common or focused research domain, which MRI does not support). The MRI program does not support the acquisition or development of a suite of instruments to outfit research laboratories/facilities or that will be used to conduct independent research activities simultaneously.
Instrument acquisition or development proposals that request funds from NSF in the range $100,000-$4 million may be accepted from any MRI-eligible organization. Proposals that request funds from NSF less than $100,000 may also be accepted from any MRI-eligible organization for the disciplines of mathematics or social, behavioral and economic sciences and from non-Ph.D.-granting institutions of higher education for all NSF-supported disciplines.
Cost-sharing of precisely 30% of the total project cost is required for Ph.D.-granting institutions of higher education and for non-degree-granting organizations. Non-Ph.D.-granting institutions of higher education are exempt from cost-sharing and cannot include it. National Science Board policy is that voluntary committed cost sharing is prohibited.
Please see the solicitation text for definitions of organizational types used by the MRI program.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
The Astronaut's Wife
Further evidence that life is cinematic comes from Florida, where an astronaut is charged with attempted first degree murder for trying to kidnap a rival for the affections of a space pilot becomes news JUST DAYS BEFORE the premiere of a film called "The Astronaut Farmer," starring Billy Bob Thornton.
Coincidence? Well only in the real world.
But like the paranoid played by Jim Carrey in the upcoming film "The Number 23" who sees the same number recurring over and over again in his life, it's also amazingly easy to a pattern of news events paralleling movie releases.
Either God is a movie lover, or I'm off my meds.
But this recent real life tale of an astronaut leaving orbit reminded me of the1999 film "The Astronaut's Wife," written and direcdted by Rand Ravich, and starring Charlize Theron, as a woman carrying twins who may be the extraterrestrial spawn of her astronaut huband, played by Johnny Depp.
The review appears below.
By DUANE DUDEK
Journal Sentinel film critic
The film "2 Days in the Valley" set the tone for Charlize Theron's film career.
She was murdered in that nasty noir, her film debut; raped by Satan in "The Devil's Advocate"; and, now, in "The Astronaut's Wife," she is violated once again by an otherworldly visitor.
The films she appears in usually don't have an original thought in their head. So, too, "The Astronaut's Wife" is deja vu all over gain: "The Omen" and "Aliens," but mostly "Rosemary's Baby," come to mind. Pixie-ish Theron even looks a bit like that film's star, Mia Farrow, whose character was pregnant with the devil's spawn.
Theron, it seems, is carrying extraterrestrial twins, brought to Earth by her astronaut husband who has acted strangely ever since his scuttled shuttle mission. While Farrow had loopy Ruth Gordon and creepy John Cassavetes as her child's colorful cohorts, Theron is stuck with Johnny Depp in his gloomy Gus mode -- stone-faced, thin-lipped and dead behind the eyes.
Depp is probably the bigger star, but Theron is the title character and nobody's second banana. The story is told through her eyes, from her passionate love for her husband to her incredulity at learning what screenwriter/debut director Rand Ravich plans for her.
While in space, Depp and his partner -- who later dies and whose wife mysteriously commits suicide -- are missing for two minutes. It's a bigger mystery than that gap in the White House tapes, but everyone is content with his lame explanation, except Theron and NASA bureaucrat Joe Morton, who knows a "Brother From Another Planet" when he sees one.
Theron, faced with evidence from an increasingly eccentric Morton, comes to believe the impossible thing that has happened and confronts the moral imponderable it poses: Is abortion wrong if your fetuses are the seeds of an alien species out to conquer Earth?
Anyone even slightly familiar with the genre knows the sequel-friendly answer. Ravich creates atmosphere by the boxcar -- extreme close-ups, maddeningly slow motion, off-center framing -- that chart the film's course from voyeuristically intimate to cold and remote.
Obvious stylishness is a symptom of a film with nothing to say. Theron should have taken a tip from Julia Roberts in "Runaway Bride" and left "The Astronaut's Wife" at the altar.
The Astronaut's Wife **
Cast: Johnny Depp, Charlize Theron, Joe Morton, Clea DuVall
Behind the scenes: Produced by Andrew Lazar. Written and directed by Rand Ravich.

Beautiful chairs!
I purchased 4, couldn't be happier with the look, construction and low price!Read More
Absolutely beauriful
Well made, very comfortableRead More
Lovely chairs but hard to put together.
I bought 6 of these chairs in August 2015. They are not the color pictured, they are a more natural color than cream color. The color of the legs are not the same as in the picture either, they look like a walnut color in the picture when in fact they are a dark cherry color. I would like them to make a cream color as it would be more popular with people than a natural color. They should provide a color sample for the customers to look at first. Anyway, I did not mind the color, I would have preferred cream, but they still go with my curtains. The first chair was hard to put together, one of the legs was wobbly, I tried what they suggested in the instructions but it did not help. I ended up putting a stick on felt bumper on the bottom of the chair to make it the same length of the other leg and that worked. The second chair had a Velcro strip missing, but I bought some, so I fixed that. Be warned when you are taking out the screws and Allen key for each chair, they are covered in an oil substance, so make sure you wash your hands before touching your chairs or you will end up with black marks all over your chairs. The other 4 chairs put together with no problems. I think they look very nice and they are a comfortable chair. I don't know if I would go the put together route again, knowing what I know now, but I am pleased with the chairs.Read More
Good Deal
Great price, perfect linen color, very sturdyRead More
Loved the chairs
I love these chairs! I bought 6 chairs and I think they are gorgeous. The fabric is the prefect color in my opinion. I searched on overstock for a while and based on the reviews for these chairs ordered them. The only thing keeping me from 5 stars is the legs of the chairs vary in color slightly and they aren't super super comfortable. But based on price I am more than pleased with my purchase.Read More
I bought these a couple of months ago for my study. We use them an hour or two a week and both my husband and I are small people. Well he sat on the chair the other day and the wooden leg just snapped off! My husband weighs only 145 pounds. Horrible quality! Don't waste your money.Read More
Nice chairs!
This chairs are very nice.I agree with the other rewies, that the color is natural not ivory, but this is the reason that I bought them.My only complain is that the fabric look a litlle cheap to me .This is the reason that I rated it 4 stars.Because of this I was not sure if to keep them or not, but after looking around I realized that you can not beat this price.I ordered 6 chairs, from which 2 were defective but Overstock replaced them in two days.They have a great costumer service!Read More
Beautiful Chairs
These chairs a beautiful! The color is a little more "natural" than Ivory, but still great! They quality seems great. We ordered 4 sets of 2 for our dining room & my husband had no problem putting them together. A friend came over and asked if I had gotten them from or ! Absolutely love them!Read More
I was hesitant to order chairs offline when I've never seen them in person but I'm so glad I did! I love these chairs! They went together easily...took me an hour by myself to put 4 together. The color is more of a light natural linen, rather than a true ivory but that's why I ordered them...I didn't want a chair that looked too white. They are not tan, so if you want something tan, these are not for you. Everyone has commented on the chairs and they really make my dining room formal and beautiful! I wouldn't hesitate to order these again!Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello emmasaunt, unfortunately this item is out of stock. We currently do not have inventory to check, and cannot guarantee the item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us.
hello, i have a question on this set of chairs. can you assist?
Hello Maria V., we will gladly assist you. Please leave your question on this page. Thank you for shopping with us.
Why did you choose this product?
I was looking for a heavy tufted chair in a light color
I wanted an ivory parsons chair. I was looking for espresso legs, but this chair doesn't seem to have that, but it looks to be right otherwise.
It looks like a quality product on the web page.
I need a chair that you do not sit down into. It needs to be a true standard sitting height. My table is a small bit higher then most. Does the sitting base slightly compress under your weight or does your bum go down into the sitting base?
Thank you for contacting us, tory. If their table is slightly higher than you wouldn't need a standard chair height. This particular chair has a seat height of 19 inches. The seat has a cushion that does compress, as any other cushion would. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
I have two hostess chairs that are gray and white. I need a light colored ivory for the side chairs. Would you say these are light ivory?
Hello apugh77, we try to represent the colors of our products accurately. Unfortunately, due to the difference in monitor colors we cannot guarantee that the color will match exactly what you see on your screen. That being said, these do appear to be a lighter ivory. Thank you for shopping with us.
i'm interested in these chairs but I am confused with the dimensions. I have an antique dining table .The opening for the chairs is only 44 inches on the two sides. One dimension ,21 inches wide,stated looks like it would fit but the other 25 inches wide would not. Which one is it?...or is it both? ...and how would that work with a 44 inch opening. The chairs I have now are 19 inches wide.
Thank you for contacting us, jfarrell20. The dimensions listed on site are for both the overall and seat. The widest the chairs are is 25 inches each. Therefore, if the table's width opening is only 44 inches it would only be able to accommodate one chair on that particular side. If you are trying to accommodate two chairs on that one side it wouldn't work given that it would be 50 inches wide all together. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Which are darker in color these or the off white of the same Home Crown dining chairs
Hello Valued Customer, the off-white option seems to be several shades darker than the ivory option. If you're looking for a darker option, I would go with the off-white. Please be aware that due to standard monitor variance and settings, the colors may not appear exactly as you see them on your screen. I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for shopping with us!
What is the weight limit on these chairs?
Hello lml57, unfortunately that information is not available as we do not weight test items. Thank you for shopping with us.
I dont know but im 210 and no problems.
I see a dinning table in the picture. Where can I find link to that table?
Hello hunthouse, I do apologize but the table shown in this picture is not available at this time. Our inventory is changing every day. Thanks for shopping with us!
Do these chairs come assembled or is assembly required? I see both.
Hello makingitwork, I'm sorry for the confusion, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will update that information for you! The correct information is it does need to be assembled. Thanks for shopping with us!
Assembly is required, but very simple. You screw the seat onto the back cushion, and then screw in 2 legs. They provide all the necessary tools.
I am looking to buy 6 of these chairs along with 2 of Christopher Knight Home Tall Natural Tufted Dining Chairs (Set of 2). Would they match in terms of color of fabric and wood?
Hello diningroom, these two chairs have a different fabric entirely. The first one is ivory, and the second one is a more natural linen color. They won't clash, but you will see the difference if put side by side. Thank you for checking with us.
Hello Customer Care, After posting this question here, I chatted with a Home & Garden Expert who told me that these chairs will all match PERFECTLY in terms of material, fabric color, and leg color. I have already ordered 6/2 of these chairs like planned, so let's hope they work out for me. Thanks
I love these chairs so much I just ordered another set of them! I am a true antique collector yet I love throwing in new pieces here and there! They are THE most comfortable Parson's chair I've sat in! I have a big butt and the seat is more than ample! Cannot wait for my delivery!!!
Do you recommend scotch guarding these? Can you provide cleaning instructions?
Hi, meganq. You may scotch guard these if you'd like, but modern materials are made to be pretty stain-resistant. For cleaning, the manufacturer recommends a mild soap and warm water. Thanks for shopping with us, and have a great day.
Can these chairs be purchased individually? I am in a unique position where I only need three chairs Thank you!
Hello stanleyrae, Unfortunately, we only have them for sale in a set of two. Thank you for checking.
Is this chair tapered? why are there two different widths (21in v.s. 25in)
Thank you for your question. Yes, the Christopher Knight Home Crown Top Ivory Linen Dining Chair is tapered. The seat does taper, where the front is wider than the back and the dimensions are correct.
what is involved with assembly?
You will need to slide the back of the chair to the seat and screw in the legs.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers continue to finalizer their training camp roster with the additions of import defensive linemen Zach Anderson and Marcus Hyde, along with import defensive backs Lamar 'Marty' Markett, Wesley Pendleton and Sam Pope. All five players will be on the field once rookie camp begins this afternoon.
Anderson (6-2, 270, Northern Michigan, DOB: January 27, 1990 in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan) was named first team All-GLIAC as a senior after finishing the season with 40 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, one sack and one interception. He had a tryout with the Cleveland Browns earlier this year.
Hyde (6-3, 242, William & Mary, DOB: October 24, 1988 in Manassas, Virginia) was claimed off waivers from the BC Lions earlier this month after finishing his collegiate career with 144 tackles and 18.5 sacks. A two-time All-Conference selection, Hyde's 6.5 sacks as a senior ranked tied for third in the league, while his 4.7 tackles per game ranked sixth among defensive linemen.
Markett (5-10, 162, South Carolina, DOB: September 7, 1989 in York, South Carolina) attended training camp with the Atlanta Falcons last season and recorded three tackles throughout the preseason before being among the team's final cuts. A walk-on at South Carolina, Markett earned playing time on special teams before becoming a key member of the defence as a senior, recording 26 tackles and one pass knockdown.
Pendleton (5-11, 180, Mississippi, DOB: November 29, 1989 in Natchez, Mississippi) played in 20 games with 16 starts at cornerback in two seasons at Ole Miss after transferring from Copiah-Lincoln Junior College where he was named first team All-State and the MACJC's Most Valuable Defensive Back on top of being named a Junior College All-American. At Ole Miss, Pendleton recorded 19 tackles, one tackle for loss and six pass knockdowns.
Pope (6-0, 192, Hampton, DOB: October 21, 1987 in St. Helena Island, South Carolina) attended training camp with the Montreal Alouettes in 2010 and the BC Lions in 2012 before joining the practice roster of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last October. At Hampton, Pope recorded 66 tackles and five interceptions in two seasons.
The team also announced that Saint Mary's University quarterback Ben Rossong will participate in the team's training camp.
Rossong sat out last season after transferring to Saint Mary's from Western where he threw for 576 yards and three touchdowns in two seasons.
The Blue Bombers have released import offensive lineman James Carmon.

However, the second time I went boarding completely recked my confidence as I was awful and went back to skiing (I am a good skier). We're going to Austria next week and I'm not sure if I should stay safe and stick with skiing or try regular on the snowboard? Was the fact that I shouldn't have been riding goofy the reason I was rubbish? Has anyone got any tips for changing from goofy to regular?
Any help would be really appreciated, my confidence is in taters after I failed riding goofy last year, I'd be prepared to recommend abysmal who can help!
Thanks in advance lads!
Alex (someone who needs help)
Alex, this is an all too common issue.
The best way to let your body find it's natural direction is to do the following:
1. Mount a twin-shaped board with the bindings at positive fifteen degrees and negative fifteen degrees.
2. Go ride, your brain will tell your body which way to naturally lead itself.
3. Once you "feel it" adjust your back binding to suite your natural stance.
This has worked with both my kids at the ages of 1.5 and 3. It'll work for you. Enjoy Austria (Mayerhoffen is fun).

UNIONDALE, N.Y. - For Dany Heatley, it's all about going to Ottawa to try to procure two points tonight and salvage the Wild's two-game trip.
Heatley, like the rest of Minnesota's team, absorbed a 2-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Monday afternoon at Nassau Coliseum.
Like his teammates, Heatley now must turn his attention to a game against the Senators.
Unlike his teammates, Heatley will be playing in a city in which people have burned replicas of his jersey and did an about-face with their adulation after the two-time 50-goal scorer asked out.
And no, Heatley said, he's not looking forward to it. And yes, he said, the fans will be on his case. Once the game begins, however, he said it'll be no big deal.
The big deal, he insists, is the Wild need to rebound from a game in which they were outshot 9-2 in the first period before outshooting the Islanders 19-5 over the final 40 minutes.
"We've got to come out like we did in the second and third in the first period tomorrow night," he said.
Since he requested a trade in 2009 before ending up with the San Jose Sharks, Heatley is considered a whining rich kid in Ottawa, to quote a story by Ken Warren of the Ottawa Citizen. Heatley says the criticism is unfair and that the Senators didn't handle things particularly well from their end.
He also says it's ancient history.
Wild coach Mike Yeo says it shouldn't matter.
"We recognize that this will be a significant game for him," Yeo said. "We are all 100 percent behind him. We want to give him a great game; we want to go in there and play well for Dany.
"And I know that he's going to rise to the occasion. He's a quality guy. He's not deserving of the rap he gets. But I know one thing: I don't think too many people can argue with the results of a great player, so I'm expecting to see that tomorrow."
Heatley, acquired from the Sharks in a July trade for Martin Havlat, has become a popular player in the Minnesota dressing room and among Minnesota fans for more than one reason.
He constantly busts the chops of everybody within earshot off the ice and, so far, has busted his butt on the ice.
Consider: Against the Islanders, with his team trailing 2-1 midway through the third period, New York's John Tavares got loose for a breakaway down the left side, and Heatley set out after him. Heatley pestered and back-checked Tavares until he finally knocked the puck away, preventing even a shot on goal.
"He had a little step on me," Heatley said. "I thought I could catch him. I got him there."
Heatley, Yeo and everyone else talked about the Wild not being ready for this game at the start.
Sounds a lot like last season's team, but it's not, according to Kyle Brodziak.
"I see a huge difference," he said. "It's not an easy game, playing catch-up, but I think we responded really well."
"The second and third periods," Heatley said, "we dominated."
Heatley wasn't around last season, but he recognizes a poor start when he sees one. He also recognizes that Minnesota's power play, of which he is a key part, went 0 for 5, including not scoring with a five-on-three advantage for 44 seconds.
"The story of the game was our power play," he said.
Although the Wild did draw penalties and get chances, they failed to capitalize, he added, "and that would have been the difference in the game."

Hotel Actual
Eixample, Barcelona, Spain
Press Reviews
The Telegraph, July 2008
"The Actual has a prime location. It is 30 yards from a metro stop, across the street from the trendy Hotel Omm, which has one of the city's best restaurants, and round the corner from La Pedrera, Gaudí's cave-like apartment block... Ask for an upper-floor bedroom at the rear: not only will it be quieter, but you will also be able to spy on the tourists nosing around La Pedrera's quirky rooftop... Owned by a Spanish interior-design company, the hotel has a trim, minimalist look."
Time Out Guide to Barcelona
"A chic lobby in shades of white and chocolate brown sets the stage for this magazine-pretty newcomer, owned by the Gimeno sisters (of the design and household store, Gimeno, just around the corner on Passeig de Gràcia). The 29 rooms have a minimalist design, with black headboards, velvet curtains and grey slate bathrooms. Modest perks for business travellers include a shoe shining machine in the lobby, a reading room and internet access."
Frommer's Review
"Situated opposite the ultra-hip Omm Hotel, it's no surprise that the Actual is somewhat overshadowed. You can, however, save yourself a few euros by staying at this stylish three-star place rather than across the road, and of course you can still make use of the Omm's wonderful bar and restaurant. Small but perfectly formed wood paneling and large windows give the hotel a light, airy feel with a designer edge. Bedrooms are simply but elegantly decorated with chocolate brown soft furnishings and plain white walls and bed linen, and all have compact bathrooms with tub/shower combos."
Guest Reviews
Reviews are only from people who have stayed there and booked through i-escape.
"Well positioned, functional hotel. Nothing particularly special about it at all. Surprised to find it on i-escape!"
Caroline, France (16.08.15)
"Rooms had a great view but felt rather Spartan and like that of business hotel. Toiletries in the bathroom would have been nice."
Alexandra, United Kingdom (12.10.14)
"We very much enjoyed our room. For a 3 star hotel the room was great! The breakfast was also good and the food staff made great coffees. Front desk were helpful and the overall hotel was great and a super value. We will return. We liked our first room #521 with its two windows and balconies and large bathroom. It was a least a 4 star hotel room. We had many great meals, but really enjoyed the Bodega about 3 blocks away. The main dining area is in a basement and they also have an outdoor seating area on the street. Really great Catalan food and a great local crowd. See you next year."
Michael, United States (26.07.14)
"Excellent location, well designed minimalist room, good service & desk, excellent crash pad with good restaurants in vicinity. Query whether a/c would be adequate in summer."
Robert, United Kingdom (23.05.14)
"The hotel was just as described on the i-escape website. Our room was great; perfectly clean and spacious with a decent bathroom. We were on the sixth floor which was fine and was served by 2 lifts. The only minor comment would be that there was a lack of toiletries provided in the bathroom and no bath robes. On the first night we were woken at 4am by very noisy revellers leaving the nightclub at Hotel Omm opposite us. The french doors onto the balcony of our room did not have any sound-proofing (traffic noise quite bad) so if we went again we'd ask for rooms at the back, assuming they are a bit quieter. All reception staff were very professional, helpful and friendly. On our last day we were able to keep one of our rooms until 5pm as we had a later flight home, for a small charge of 25 euros. We found this hotel was perfect for our needs on a short winter break to Barcelona. Very good value for money. We would definitely stay here again. This area definitely suited me and my husband (being in our early 50s) as it is in a very smart neighbourhood with a good mix of shops from designer to highstreet. We paid 31 euros from the airport and 30 euros to the airport."
Elaine, United Kingdom (14.12.13)

POSTED: 7:14 p.m. HST, Dec 28, 2010
LAST UPDATED: 7:37 p.m. HST, Dec 28, 2010
DALLAS — SMU football coach June Jones has recommitted to the program after having discussions with Maryland about its job opening and a potentially lucrative salary for leading the Terps.
Talk about fearing the turtle.
But SMU fans can relax for now. Leigh Steinberg, Jones' long-time agent, wouldn't name Maryland but said Tuesday evening that Jones had removed himself from consideration for a job that offered a significant increase in compensation. Comcast SportsNet first reported Tuesday that Jones had met with Maryland about the opening — former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is believed to remain in the running.
Jones informed SMU athletic director Steve Orsini and president R. Gerald Turner on Tuesday morning that he wanted to stay at SMU. This was in spite of Maryland's high level of interest and willingness to pay, with incentives, around $3.5 million a year, according to two sources close to the SMU program, an eye-popping increase from the $2 million Jones already makes annually at SMU.
Jones, who has four years remaining on his contract, is in his third season at SMU and is in Fort Worth preparing the Mustangs for Thursday's Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl against Army. Steinberg responded to requests for Jones to comment, citing Jones' preparations for the game.
Still, Jones talked with Maryland representatives within recent days, responding to their interest after SMU had relocated Sunday to Fort Worth for bowl preparations.
"This is a part of managing a successful football program," Orsini said in a statement. "When you have a coach of Coach Jones' stature, other programs are going to show interest. That said, Coach Jones has reiterated his commitment to building a big-time football program on the Hilltop, and SMU, as an institution, is committed to building a top-25 program as well. As I have said since I arrived at SMU five years ago, we will win at SMU and nothing will keep us from achieving our goals."
While Jones remains on the Hilltop, issues linger. Sources close to the program indicated that streamlining the academic process in admitting athletes and helping to keep them eligible remain a priority for Jones to take SMU to the next level. The issue flared up publicly last summer when two student-athletes were denied admission to SMU despite being NCAA qualifiers, but Jones later signed a two-year contract extension and a university committee released a report indicating that efforts would be made to prevent future troubles.
Steinberg said Jones was focused on making sure he had the tools necessary to make SMU a top-15 program. After going 1-11 in his first season in 2008, Jones led SMU to the 2009 Hawaii Bowl, its first bowl since 1984, before the NCAA-mandated death penalty. This season, SMU (7-6) played in the Conference USA title game before being invited to the Armed Forces Bowl.
Jones has long been an unconventional coach. He turned down a contract — and more money — to be the head coach of the San Diego Chargers to follow his heart back to Hawaii. When he left there in January 2008 after leading the Warriors to an undefeated regular season and the BCS Sugar Bowl, he said the only jobs he was interested in were the long-suffering programs of Duke and SMU.
Jones has said, as recently as this season, that the only other job that would really interest him would be a chance to return to the NFL.

My Radio/Music switching is working perfectly. I have noticed two small issues though.
1) If you change from music to radio while playing in random mode, 'random' is still shown in the title bar even though the radio is now playing.
2) Mute doesn't appear to work when playing radio - this may be a setting I have not enabled?
I also have a suggestion:
1) Display a button or image that covers the entire screen once the monitor has been turned off by pressing and holding the dim button for 2 seconds. Currently, when the monitor is off and you touch the screen to turn it back on, you are bound to hit a button. By adding an image or button that is the size of the entire scren, (which you won't be able to see anyway becuase the monitor is off) it will allow the user to tap the screen to turn it back on without accidentally hitting button.
