Kate Upton as Detroit Emergency Financial Manager?
The tough nerd made his tough decision, and today marks the first day on the job for Gov. Rick Snyders choice for Detroits emergency financial manager: Washington, D.C.-based restructuring expert Kevyn Orr.
Hockeytown residents were disappointed to learn Orr isnt a former NHL player.
Snyder seems to have overlooked some other candidates. Granted they might not have fancy law firms on their resumes, but thinking outside the box is what its all about, right?
So stepping a mile or so outside that box, here are 10 names I threw together:
Manuel Matty Moroun: The local billionaire businessman would work well with Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano, Oakland County Executive Brooks Patterson and Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel. After all, hes proven to be great at building bridges. First order of business? Turning the Michigan Central Station into a new City Hall.
Kid Rock: The rocker loves this city (and could loosen up the city dress code fedoras for all, much to Charles Pughs chagrin), though sometimes his Made in Detroit clothing company confuses its namesake city with the Dominican Republic, India and Honduras.
Reggie Bush: The Miami Dolphins running back thinks hes here to play for the Lions. That situation is beyond repair. The city, at least, has hope.
Geoffrey Fieger: The Southfield attorney loves publicity, so hed bring the spotlight on Detroit again. (The most dangerous place during Dr; Jack Kevorkian trial wasnt the pathologists Volkswagen van, but standing between Fieger and a TV camera.) Plus, Fieger and Snyder could get regular haircuts together.
Rita Kostopoulos: Whos that? The lawyer behind those annoying 866-WOW-RITA television commercials. Her solution to everything is Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. (cue music) Start your smile/While you file/Bankruptcy today.
Former Pope Benedict XVI: Rumor has it hes going to pull a Michael Jordan and come out of retirement. He has minimal living expenses now that the red-loafers budget is gone.
Clint Eastwood: The Oscar-winning, tough-guy actor has street cred after voicing Chryslers Super Bowl ad last year, and, as the former mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif., he knows politics. Hes also made a movie in Detroit. Most importantly, hes used to talking to empty chairs.
Dan Gilbert: The Quicken Loans founder already owns downtown Detroit, so itd just be expanding the kingdom.
Kate Upton: The supermodel and southwestern Michigan native is a Whirlpool heir, so laundering money could be an issue. If all else fails, she can earn money by watching guys wash cars. Then again, she might not be eager to come to Detroit if last months rumors of her breakup with supposed boyfriend Justin Verlander are true.
Carl Levin: The retiring six-term U.S. senator is looking for something to do other than play golf. And whats the likelihood hed wind up as a defendant in the federal courthouse that bears his uncles name?

Getting Started With A Budget
For most American families the dirtiest 4-letter word in the household is "BUDGET." Nothing brings more fear, panic and shear emotion than discussing a budget with a spouse particularly when one feels that they are under attack for potentially bad behavior.
However, a budget is a must in order for anyone to achieve success in building wealth over the long term. The interview covers some of the basic ideas of where to start but just getting started is typically the toughest part. While living on a budget may seem like an impossibility - the reality is that not only is it possible but is greatly rewarding down the road.
Here are of the major guidelines:
1) Separate WANTS from NEEDS.
2) Live on 60-70% of what you make.
3) Get rid of credit cards and live on cash.
4) If you can't pay for it with cash - you can't afford it.
5) With interest rates as low as they are - mortgage debt is okay as long as your monthly payment, taxes and interest are not more than 25% of your income.
6) Use a service to track expenses real time (www.mint.com)
7) Fully fund your 401k or retirement plan first.
8) Keep 6 months of salary in CASH for emergencies.
9) You are a SAVER not an INVESTOR. You can't afford to lose money in the markets.
10) Paying for kids college is great - as long as it doesn't detract from your own savings goals.
11) You only get one shot to save up for retirement - don't **** it up.

AdAge has the scoop on Twitter's plans for search. Could this possibly be a real challenge to Google?
Last year, Twitter acquired Summize, which was a Twitter search developed on the API. Twitter search is increasingly popular, especially for finding real-time chatter on a given topic. Recently, a Greasemonkey script was created to incorporate Twitter search into Google results (for those who install the add-on in Firefox).
But Twitter has bigger plans. They want to add a Q&A feature that harnesses the collective - and immediate - knowledge of the Twitterverse. Think Yahoo! Answers meets Twitter Search. Answers sites have been growing in popularity at a rapid pace. This could be a very smart move for Twitter.
Anecdotally, I've been seeing people using Twitter before checking with Google. It makes sense. Ask people from your trusted network instead of searching through tens or hundreds of results on your own - and then deciphering how trustworthy the information is.
If Twitter focuses on search, it's easy to see how they could then monetize their network (finally): search ads.
It's no wonder that Google has its eye on Twitter. From the CEO calling it a "poor man's email" (postering??) to rumors that it may seek to acquire Twitter, this is an exciting space to watch.
Oh, and Twitter passes my branding test. Twitter is definitely being used as a verb!

As expected, yesterday proved to be a mammoth 22 hour shift, ending in Tel Aviv at the Likud party base for what was supposed to be Benjamin Netanyahu's victory speech.
But as has become increasingly familiar out here, things didn't go according to plan and as the polls closed at 10pm, the published exit polls sent shock-waves through the room. Rival party Kadima were ahead by two seats. Supporters did their best to keep spirits up with bursts of "Bibi" chants and flag waving but things weren't looking good.
Supporters who'd arrived with the sweet taste of victory in their mouths began to sense the discount burger taste of defeat.
In Israeli politics, it's often the case that there is no definitive winner on the night but usually, the polls are reasonably accurate.
Hours after the initial results were reported by the tv networks in Israel, "Bibi" took to the stage and with an Oscar-worthy performance managed to show little sign of upset and even claimed victory, albeit for the right-wing if not his own party. As Yisrael Beiteinu's far-right policies had grown in success, the left-wing Labour party had now been pushed into an unprecedented third place in the polls.
Surrounded by members of his team and party, Netanyahu did his bit, thanked his crew and wrapped up his speech. Before he'd left the stage, supporters were already leaving the building.
Looking down, I noticed scraps of paper that looked like the ballot papers from earlier in the day and had to ask a photographer next to me what the paper said. Discovering they were Likud party papers, soon every photographer was monstering the poor cleaner who was just trying to get home.
With victory so strongly predicted for previous weeks, many in Israel's politics will be left wondering what went wrong for Likud and what happens now.

The 6th International Coastal & Marine Tourism Congress (CMT) is to be held in Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa from 23 to 26 June, 2009.
International divers report viewing more marine species per dive in Algoa Bay than a weeks diving in some of the world's most popular dive spots.
It was the legend of Prester John that brought Bartholomeu Dias to Algoa Bay more than 500 years ago. Prester John, so the legend said, founded a prosperous kingdom of great beauty and wealth in an unknown location where peace reigned and man lived in harmony with strange creatures alongside the fountain of youth.
We believe that this great beauty and wealth is not gold bullion or sunken treasure but rather a marine environment second to none just waiting to be discovered by every visitor with a desire to explore our silent world.

WEST WARWICK—Come Saturday afternoon, participants in the Hope Village Stroll will walk through West Warwick to hear about the history of the village.
Donald Carpenter, a member of the Pawtuxet Valley Historical and Preservation Society and local historian, will lead the tour.
Carpenter has researched the history of the area and into Coventry and Hope, according to a press release dated Sept. 7.

EL SEGUNDO, CA -- Good news, Laker fans Steve Nash may not be out for four weeks as had been reported by the Los Angeles Times. Then again, maybe he will. Nursing a fractured left leg, Nash was unavailable to reporters after Monday's practice, but head coach Mike Brown the team's designated injury spokesman shed little light on the matter. Basically using the same phraseology he did when Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant were missing exhibition games, Brown said that Nash is still day to day as far as he knows Nash was originally thought to be out one week and nothing he's been told is any different. Nash will just keep getting treatment, and when the team's medical staff tells him the point guard is ready to play, Brown will put him back in the lineup. Pau Gasol, who's averaging 15.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 blocks per game this season, was a little more forthcoming when asked about the the injuries are affecting the Lakers' ability to come together.

This security statement applies to Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP, Windows Media Player 11 for Windows Vista, and Windows Media Player 11 for Windows Server 2008.
At Microsoft, we are continually striving to foster a safe and reliable computing experience. As part of this effort, we develop and release updates and fixes for recognized issues. Periodically, we combine many of these fixes into a single package and make the package available for you to install on your computer. These packages are called service packs.
For example, Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) contains the latest collection of updates for Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional. These updates help improve the reliability and compatibility of the operating system. Windows XP SP2 also includes several security technologies that help protect your computer against malicious attacks from viruses and worms. These technologies are not intended to replace periodic security updates as they are released, but rather to help strengthen the ability of Windows XP to defend against malicious attacks. Together, they will make it more difficult to attack Windows XP, even if the latest updates are not applied. To download Windows XP SP2, see the Windows Update website.
If you are running Windows XP and are not yet ready to upgrade to Windows Vista, installing Windows XP SP2 is your first line of defense for improving the security of your computer. But when you visit a website, play digital media content from the Internet, or store content or information on your computer, it is important to know whether your privacy is maintained and whether your computer is protected from attacks to the greatest extent possible. Although the Internet provides new and exciting opportunities, it can also introduce risks to the security of your computer and any personal information stored on it.
To help maintain the security of your computer and the privacy of your personal information, it is important to follow these basic guidelines:
This page provides information about security features in Windows Media Player 11 and best practices for helping to maintain the security of your computer and the privacy of your personal information.
Windows Media Player 11 offers enhanced security features on the Security tab of the Options dialog box:
Run script commands when present. This option specifies whether to allow URL and FILENAME script commands to run when you play digital media content that contains them. (If the Player encounters a URL script command during playback, your default web browser displays the webpage corresponding to the URL specified in the script command. If the Player reaches a FILENAME script command, the digital media file specified by the script command is opened.) Script commands can contain instructions that enhance the playback experience. For example, a script command may open your Internet browser and display a related webpage while the Player plays back content. However, digital media content may contain malicious script commands that attempt to perform unwanted actions on your computer. Webpages may also contain malicious script commands that run on your computer without your knowledge. By default, script commands will not run. You can select this check box if you want to enable the script commands in the Player.
Run script commands and rich media streams when the Player is in a Web page. This option specifies whether to allow URL and FILENAME script commands to run when you play digital media content that is embedded in a webpage. This option is selected by default. You can clear this check box if you want to prevent any script commands and rich-media streams from running in a webpage. Note that when you clear this check box it may prevent rich-media streams from running. Rich-media streams can contain HTML, a PowerPoint slide show, or digital media content.
Play enhanced content that uses Web pages without prompting. This option specifies whether to notify you when you are about to play digital media content that has been enhanced with webpages. These webpages will display information related to the content you are playing. But because some content can contain malicious webpages, Windows Media Player will prompt you to verify that you want to proceed when enhanced digital media content is detected. The prompt is enabled by default. To turn off the prompt, select this check box.
Note: Your installed online store might also enhance your playback experience with webpages, and you might not be prompted for this content. Consult your online store for more information.
Show local captions when present.
Windows Media Player supports Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange (SAMI) captioning of media content. SAMI content can be located on the Internet, your hard disk, or your CD or DVD. During playback, Windows Media Player accesses the content to locate and display SAMI captions. Enabling this option allows access to SAMI content in all of the content zones available to your computer. Clearing this option will limit access to the Internet zone. This option is turned off by default.
Zone Settings. This command opens the Internet Options Security dialog box, which lists zone settings that control which types of content can be displayed in the Player. The Player uses the Internet zone settings for much of the HTML content that is displayed in the Player. You can change the Internet Explorer zone settings to control how content is displayed in webpages in the Player and to change the level of access that websites have to your computer. Note that changing settings may affect the operation of Player features or prevent information from being displayed. Changes to the zone settings will also affect Internet Explorer, Outlook, Outlook Express, and any other programs that rely on the Internet Options security zones. For more information about zones and zone settings, see Internet Explorer Help.
Windows Media Player can display webpages to improve your playback experience. Some of these webpages are set up to prevent unauthorized people from seeing the information that is sent to or from those sites. These are called "secure" sites. Windows Media Player supports the security protocols used by secure sites, and upholds the security settings you established in Internet Explorer.

A variety of content is available on the web today. While much of this content is reliable and offered by trusted sources, not all content is safe. Some content has been tainted to perform malicious actions on your computer or to obtain personal information such as passwords or credit card numbers. In some cases, files are renamed with different file name extensions in an attempt to trick you into downloading unwanted content. When Windows Media Player attempts to play a music or video file that has been downloaded from the Internet, it verifies that the file name extension matches the format of the file. If a discrepancy is found, the Player asks you to confirm that the file should be played. Note that if the extension does not match the file format, unexpected playback behavior could occur.
If your computer is running a version of the Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008 operating system that enables you to use different types of user accounts, such as administrator or standard accounts, your computer may be better protected if you log on using an account with limited privileges. Since users with administrator accounts can make system-wide changes to the computer, including installing and removing programs, adding and deleting operating system files, and accessing other users' passwords and library databases, malicious programs or viruses can use this type of user account to access personal information. Users with non-administrator accounts cannot allow programs and applications to be installed and run automatically, which could protect your computer from viruses.

Looking Ahead
WHO: Lane (2-3, 1-3) at Albany State (2-3, 1-1).
WHAT: ASU's third conference game of the season.
WHEN: 5 p.m. Saturday.
WHERE: Macon.
LIVE UPDATES: Log onto: twitter.com/AlbHeraldSports.
MACON — The Rams stopped the bleeding last week with a victory against Kentucky State.
Now it's all about making sure the wound isn't reopened.
"This is a real chance for us to build some momentum. We have to. We cannot go back," Albany State coach Mike White said.
The Rams (2-3) snapped a three-game losing streak with a 17-14 victory against Kentucky State last week and are looking to continue their winning ways today in the Music City Classic in Macon against Lane.
"With the way we played last week and improvements we made from the week before, if we can make that same jump again I think we will be in good shape," White said. "We aren't going to make the big leaps, but if we just keep grinding and working I think we can get it done."
The Rams were outscored 91-27 during their losing streak, but nobody at Albany State is talking about that frustrating three-game stretch that dropped them two games under .500.
Instead, they have a vision of getting back to .500 today, running the table against East Division opponents and qualifying for a second straight conference championship game.
It's all about moving forward for the Rams.
"We started off slow, and we are trying to get better as it goes, win games and get the lead in our division," Rams QB David Kooi said.
The Rams are 1-1 in the conference and ½ game behind East Division leader Fort Valley State, and the toughest part of their schedule might be behind them. Their next four opponents are all under .500: Lane (2-3), Morehouse (2-3) Clark Atlanta (1-4) and Benedict (0-5).
History is on ASU's side, too.
The Rams are 10-1-1 against Lane, 23-7 against Morehouse, 34-6 against Clark Atlanta and 9-1 against Benedict. With a win against those four teams, the Rams would improve to 6-3 and set up a possible winner-take-all game for the East Division title with FVSU in the Fountain City Classic on Nov. 3.
However, that path to the conference championship game starts today against Lane, which stunned ASU last season in Jackson, Tenn.
In 2011, the Dragons held QB Stanley Jennings to a regular season-low 160 passing yards, and Lane running back McKinsley Marbury rushed for 142 yards and three TDs.
And this year's Lane team is even better, White said.
"They have a lot better offense, especially in the passing game," White said. "They seem to be able to throw the ball better than they were last year. For us, that means we need to do better in pass defense and probably put some scores on the board to beat them."
Lane is led by junior QB Chris Rini, who has accounted for 1,288 yards (1,042 passing, 246 rushing) and 12 touchdowns (10 passing, 2 rushing).
"He is a good quarterback," White said. "He makes good decisions and still looks down the field when he scrambles. He could have one foot going out of bounds and still throw the ball. He finds receivers, makes plays and makes them go with his arm and his feet."
Rini and the Dragons can put up points. In their two victories they scored 45 and 37 points, and White said keeping them out of the end zone early and forcing turnovers are keys to victory.
"The teams that have beaten them forced turnovers and got ahead of them," White said. "I think that's going to be key, that we don't sit and try to battle with them for four quarters. Not getting behind is going to be really key."
Jennings led a game-winning drive in the final minutes to help ASU come back to beat Savannah State in last year's Music City Classic.
White is hoping the running game comes alive in Macon this year.
"We gotta be able to run the ball," he said. "That is going to be true with any opponent we play. We need to run the ball because the play action pass is so important to what we try to do offensively."
Rams running back Nathan Hoyte has been ASU's biggest weapon on an offense that has struggled to put up points (13.6 ppg). Hoyte has 433 rushing yards and four TDs and is coming off one of his best performances of the season (95 yards and a TD against KSU). Last year against Lane, Hoyte had his only two-TD game of the season.
"When we are able to run, it seems like everything goes better," Hoyte said. "Even last week it seemed like we were able to do a better job running the ball. And because we were able to, it seemed like the passing game opened up a little more. The running and passing games are interdependent on each other. When one is going, the other is going to get going."

BATON ROUGE - Residents of the City of Pineville should be allowed to decide whether they want restaurants to serve alcohol, says Sen. Rick Gallot, D-Ruston.
The Senate Judiciary B Committee agreed Tuesday and unanimously sent Gallot's SB116 to the full Senate for a vote.
Pineville currently is a "dry" city which doesn't allow the sale of alcoholic beverages. But that doesn't stop residents from going to other cities, especially across the river to Alexandria to purchase drinks. ...

Apparently, no one else has ever heard of it, either. Its home page has a PR of n/a, which either means it is heavily penalized or no one links to it.

Cisco's Wi-Fi system kept maxing out at Mobile World Congress -- a problem Alcatel-Lucent's "light radio" invention (right) could help solve.By David Goldman, staff writerFebruary 18, 2011: 5:13 AM ET
BARCELONA, Spain (CNNMoney) -- There were dozens of Wi-Fi networks at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. But with more than 60,000 people in attendance, the systems were so overloaded that there may as well have been one landline connection with a 56k modem.
Areas marked "free Wi-Fi here" often had no or painfully slow connections. Demonstrations from Microsoft, Google, Intel, Yahoo, Hewlett-Packard and Research In Motion, among others, became comical when the presenters were unable to connect even to their own networks.
"That's the problem with networking conventions," said Google CEO Eric Schmidt during a keynote address this week. "Everyone is on the network."
The problem is easy to understand, but the solution is much more complicated.
Mobile World Congress was a peculiar event in that most people in attendance had smart devices with the ability to connect both to 3G networks as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Many of the attendees carried two such gizmos, like a BlackBerry and an Android phone, or an iPhone and an iPad.
That's a whole lotta gadgets trying to suck down a whole lotta data. This year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, which draws the same kind of uberwired crowd, had similar connectivity problems.
Cisco (CSCO, Fortune 500), which operated the free Wi-Fi network at Mobile World Congress -- and plastered that fact all over the convention -- estimated that there were 40,000 unique devices trying to connect to its network alone. Average peak usage reached about 3,200 devices managing to connect simultaneously to Cisco's 110 access points.
Though Cisco asked to install more access points, Mobile World Congress' operators limited the availability of the free network to 10% of the conference's locations. (The convention ran its own paid Wi-Fi network as well, also managed by Cisco.) That led to digital stampedes: The press room access point, designed to supply connections to 200 clients, had 700 people accessing the network.
Cisco provided similar Wi-Fi access at this year's Super Bowl. Despite having twice as many attendees, that event went off without a hitch.
Why? Three main differences: A small minority of the more than 100,000 fans at the stadium were accessing Wi-Fi, Cisco was able to install 1,000 access points at Cowboys Stadium, and there wasn't nearly as much interference from other networks.
In Barcelona, just in the immediate area surrounding Cisco's booth, the networking company detected 75 Wi-Fi access points. That's going to cause a lot of interference, which is part of the reason why other networks were malfunctioning as well.
Does this matter in the world beyond tech industry conventions? Yes, because the hockey-stick-like growth of smartphones, tablets andother connected devices means this kind of data demand deluge is happening more often.
Network operators are already dealing with this problem in crowded areas like baseball parks, concert venues and other big public locations, like Times Square.
China Mobile Chairman Wang Jianzhou said in a keynote address this week that wireless cellular networks will never be able to keep up with the rapid rise in mobile data demand from their users. Wi-Fi must be rolled out in public areas to offload some of the traffic onto other networks, he said. AT&T (T, Fortune 500) has already deployed a Wi-Fi network in Times Square.
Wi-Fi is an attractive solution, because it offers the same amount of coverage at 1/4 to 1/5 the cost of a cellular solution, according to Ray Smets, head of Cisco's wireless networking business unit. Though you can't make traditional cell phone calls over Wi-Fi, more services like Skype are popping up that allow you to make Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls.
But the carriers have a big problem with Wi-Fi: You don't have to pay them to use it.
That's where the coolest, most-talked about gadget of the conference comes in: Alcatel-Lucent's new invention called "light radio." The company was able to put all the components of a typical cell tower into a box the size of a Rubik's cube.
Practically, it means mobile carriers will be able to deploy 2G, 3G and 4G networks on one light radio unit instead of putting up three separate cell antennas. The incredibly efficient design of the device means the light radio offers 30% more capacity, doubles the number of downloadable bits and cuts out the interference that was being caused by all of the other antennas operated by the same network.
Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) is planning on bunching the light radios together into four-by-four squares to create "metro cells," which can be deployed in public areas to offload the demand placed on the network's towers.
Of course, light radios alone won't fix the problem: both Wi-Fi and light radio metro cells will be needed to solve the coming onslaught of data demand.
Meanwhile, there's a lot of work to be done on both solutions.
At the end of the conference, Cisco said it was proud of the service that it provided. The company estimates that it transmitted more than 1 terabyte (1,000 gigabytes) of data over its free network.
"The service wasn't that bad for free," said Cisco's Smets. "We're the good guys. We're the knights in shining armor. We knew it was a risk to put our name on it, and we ran into challenges, but that will make us better for the next time."

Four new members of The Vidette Hall of Fame will be inducted in April.
The hall of fame class of 2014 includes Ed Pyne (1970), John Abrams (1990), Alex Reside (2010) and Rick Jones (retired Vidette general manager).
The four individuals will be officially inducted during a ceremony from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., April 12, in the Circus Room of the Bone Student Center.
"These four have dedicated themselves to the overall betterment of The Vidette during their time at the newspaper and beyond," said Vidette General Manager John Plevka. "We hope Vidette alums will join us as we salute them in April."
Payne served as a reporter, sports editor and co-editor of the Vidette between 1968 and 1970. He and co-editor, Sara Schuler, led the Vidette during one of the most difficult semesters Illinois State has ever experienced – May 1970 – which included the Kent State shootings in Ohio, Black Panther shootings in Chicago and a standoff around the quad flagpole at Illinois State University.
Today Ed is the publisher and editor of The Normalite Newspaper Group. It began in 1985 when he bought The Normalite weekly paper from the family of its founder. Before that, Pyne was co-publisher of the Clifton Advocate in Iroquois County. At that time, he was the youngest publisher/owner in the state.
Abrams was at The Vidette in the mid-80s. In addition to serving as a reporter and news editor, he was instrumental in moving the newspaper from typewriters to computers. While he was still a student, The Vidette Publications Board hired him as a part-time civil service employee to serve as the newspaper's first systems manager. Abrams rounded up several used computers and created a computer network. After The Vidette, he worked for McDonald's Corporation and later became a Vice President of Cardinal Health. Today he is president of Shotfarm, LLC.
Reside was a photographer and photo editor at The Vidette from January 2007 until graduation in May 2010. He spent the summer of 2009 interning for Rolling Stone Magazine in New York. He returned to the city after completing his senior year at Illinois State University. He works as a freelance photographer and photo editor and has multiple online and print credits for Rolling Stone. He was an assistant online editor for US Weekly in December 2010. Since December 2011 he has worked for Time Warner where he is currently a photo editor for InStyle.com.
Prior to joining the ISU teaching staff in 1987, Jones was a professional journalist, having worked for the Cornbelt Press Publications. Jones spent three years at the Pontiac Daily Leader as a reporter and 13 at The Blade in Fairbury, where he was managing editor. He won numerous awards for outstanding reporting. In 1996 Jones succeeded Harry Thiel as The Vidette general manager, a position he held for 16 years prior to his retirement in May, 2012. Jones continues to teach news writing on a part-time basis at ISU.
Reservations for the April 12 banquet are $25 per person and should be made by March 26. Seating will be limited. Checks should be payable to The Vidette and mailed to: John Plevka, The Vidette, Illinois State University Box 0890, Normal, IL 61790-0890. If you have any questions, you may call Plevka at 309-438-7688.
Previous Vidette Hall of Fame inductees include:
2007 — Carl Hulse, Jeff Kraft, Kristen McQueary and Janelle Pettit.
2009 — Jay Blunk, Bill Gaspard, Todd Heisler, Heidi Voorhees, Harry Thiel and Mike Shelly.
2011 — Ben Cordani, Tina Haisman, Marc Lebovitz and Bill Mulvihill.

The main reason why horses are laid down is because they are being dangerous. A lot of trainers do it to earn a horses respect quickly it is the most volunerable position for a horse. It helps with trust issues.
You need someone to do it with you but like everyone why are you wanting to do this? This method here should be used as a last resort. I have never done this personally but I have a friend that did do it with one of her horses she was training. You have to know what you are doing or you will get hurt or you can even hurt the horse done incorrectly.
