Embree and Bienemy: A win-win for Colorado?
Posted by Chip Patterson
Colorado can finally move past the Dan Hawkins era in Boulder, and they will have some familiar faces returning to lead the new regime. On Monday, the school officially introduced Jon Embree as their new head coach. A Colorado-grad, Embree played tight end for the Buffs in the 1980s and now is an assistant coach under Mike Shanahan with the Washington Redskins. While Colorado did not get a coach with any head coaching experience, they were able to bring along another name from their wish list. Eric Bienemy, the school's all-time leading rusher and now running backs coach for the Minnesota Vikings, will be brought on as offensive coordinator under Embree.
Bienemy and Embree not only will bring a sense of school pride to the program, but also were both names being discussed for the head coaching position. In getting both of them, the Buffs find themselves in a win-win situation. Combine that with winning 2 of their last 3 games, and there is reason to be excited about the beginning of this new chapter in Colorado football history. The last time both coaches were on staff was under Gary Barnett in 2001 and 2002, with the first year being Colorado's only Big 12 Conference Championship. It would be difficult to pencil them in as Big 12 contenders in 2011, but a change of scenery after next season could provide new opportunities for the evolving program.

Bieniemy in line for Colorado job?
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
We know now who the new Colorado head coach won't be, namely, Troy Calhoun . We also know that the Buffs appear set on making a run at Les Miles that has as much chance of succeeding as a run at Ralphie-powered space travel. But what we don't know yet is who the Buffs might actually hire.
According to the Denver Post , though, we know who's edged into pole position : former Colorado great and current Minnesota Vikings running backs coach Eric Bieniemy . Why?
Ex-CU players are putting a great deal of pressure on athletic director Mike Bohn to hire the former Buffs tailback, who had a good interview Saturday. The committee was impressed with the potential staff Bieniemy said he could put together.In one sense, Bieniemy would be an uninspiring hire. The track record of NFL position coaches as college head coaches isn't a strong one (just ask Tim Brewster and Sylvester Croom ) and Bieniemy has never been a coordinator at any level. Well-meaning as the former Buffs may be, Bieniemy's hire would also only reinforce the impression -- first created by the school's flirtation with 70-year-old Colorado legend Bill McCartney -- that the program is simply trying to recreate their late-'80s-early-'90s heyday rather than living in the present.
But if Bieniemy does indeed have a pair of inspiring choices in mind to help him out as coordinators, he could prove a galvanizing choice. Few coaches should be able to sell the Colorado program to recruits as well as a young, (allegedly) charismatic, energetic head man with ties to Boulder as deep as Bieniemy's. That both Bieniemy and McCartney have received as much popular support as they have shows how deep the Buffalo fanbase's respect for the CU glory days runs, and Bieniemy should be able to tap into that optimism in a wa ythat Dan Hawkins never could. And as Doug Marrone 's impressive salvage job at Syracuse shows, NFL assistants coachin on behalf of their alma mater can certainly have success.
None of that guarantees Bieniemy anything at this stage. But if the Buffs are as intent on making a quick hire as the Post article suggests, the other candidates in the Buffs' pool will have to move up the ladder quickly if they don't want to see the job wrapped up.

Take Houston Nutt rumors with a beach of salt
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
Wherever there are head coaching openings in college football and wild unsubstantiated rumors about who will fill them, there will always be one name whose presence in those rumors and frequency of being "connected" to those jobs rises above all others: Houston Nutt .
Ever since his move from Boise State to Arkansas in 1998, Nutt has been linked with every conceviable opening, from a laundry list of SEC gigs to the Dallas Cowboys head coach to President Obama's "health care czar." (Only made up that last one, by the way; rumor had it before the Wade Phillips hire that since Jerry Jones is an Arkansas alum and enjoyed Nutt's time in charge of the Razorbacks, he would turn his franchise over to a guy with no NFL experience whatsoever that most of the pro football media have never even heard of.)
The reason for this is simple, and bears the name Jimmy Sexton . The most influential agent in the SEC, bar-none, one of Sexton's favorite longtime ploys for leverage has been to float rumors in the press that his clients could leave for other destinations, then using the apparent "interest" to help wrangle his client a new contract extension. This is exactly what Sexton ought to be doing, since it's a strategy that works and works well; when Auburn was in the market for a new coach after Tommy Tuberville 's departure in 2008 (a Sexton client who himself had reportedly been interetsed in jobs at Texas A&M, Arkansas, Miami, etc. over they ears), reports flew fast and furious that Nutt was the Tigers' top choice, and within a handful of days the Rebels had given Nutt an extension and a raise despite the fact that there's little evidence Auburn ever considered Nutt at all.
So when you read the now widespread "report" that Nutt has already accepted the Colorado job , remember that no one is better at conjuring "Nutt to new position X" stories out of thin air than Sexton. (Especially when no one with a shred of credibility is lending the rumor any legs , Nutt himself included.) Admittedly, quotes like this one ...
Nutt added the intrigue when he was asked after the game what sort of items he wants to address after the season. "There's a few things," he said. "I'm going to get into that Sunday. I just — I want to talk to my team first before they read it. I want them to hear it first."... don't exactly help the "nothing to see here" argument, but it seems substantially more likely that Nutt's referring to staffing changes (maybe the dismissal of under-fire defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix ?) than any kind of change in his own job status.
Besides, a quote like that ensures Nutt can stay in the headlines for another couple of news cycles. No doubt Sexton is smiling somewhere over that.

Does Colorado have a shot at Miles?
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
If most of us were compliling a wish list of candidates for Colorado and their open head coaching position, we'd rank Les Miles somewhere between Condoleeza Rice and Zombie Knute Rockne . All three are intriguing options, but the day any of the three accept the Buffaloes' head job is the day the world ceases spinning on its axis.
Or so we think. That's reportedly not the way Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn is thinking , however, as he tries to lure the former Buffs assistant back to Boulder:
Pressure or no, the list of reasons Miles wouldn't relocate to Colorado seem endless; he'd be forced to take a huge pay cut to join cash-strapped Buffs, his chances of winning championships (both conference and national) would shrink dramatically, he'd have to abandon an LSU program he's recruited into one of the most talented in the country and is poised for its third BCS berth on Miles' watch, and all of that is before we start getting into the pain of uprooting his family.
In short, the pressure (along with Miles' alleged love of Boulder as a city) would be the only reason Miles might abandon Baton Rouge for Boulder, and after starting 9-1, Miles seems to be thriving as fully as he ever has under that pressure. If Miles was looking for a way out of his LSU job, it stands to reason he'd have taken the chance to go to a Michigan job he reportedly covets three years ago.
Stranger things have happened. And at this relatively early stage, there's not much cost (if any) to aiming high. But until there's some indication Bohn's interest is reciprocated in any fashion, we'd suggest the Buffs focus their efforts on Calhoun, or maybe some kind of unholy rite involved in hiring a vampire Vince Lombardi .

Colorado AD: Buffs "just not good enough"
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn went on Denver radio station 104.3 the Fan yesterday and spoke a little bit about what he was looking for in a new head coach for his struggling Buffalo football program. One factor cited: improved recruiting, which has lagged near the bottom of the Big 12 in recruiting ranking estimates ever since Dan Hawkins ' big (and unfortunately, largely overrated ) splash of a class in 2008. Bohn is right to say that hiring a coach with enough energy and savvy to pay dividends on the recruiting trail would make a big difference as the team prepares to take on its new rivals in the Pac-12 .
But could Bohn have done so with a little more tact? Yes, he could have done so with a little more tact:
"In the end, I think that [Hawkins] just wasn't able to galvanize, not only a lot of our constituents that are important to us in the end, but being able to galvanize enough recruits to come. We had some challenges with some academic performance issues and things like that that just kind of ate away at it in a negative tone that didn't allow it to click. The bottom line is, as much as we love Cody Hawkins — he'll probably end up being the all-time quarterback — and Scotty McKnight , the all-time leader receiver, doggone it we love those kids, but they're just not good enough, big enough, strong enough, fast enough to really put us over the edge. "Maybe Bohn is right. But now -- with Cody's father just fired and his being forced to take over the offense anyway as the only fucntional quarterback available -- seems like a really terrible time to tell the world that Cody Hawkins isn't a good enough athlete to play football at this level. Most coaches and administrators would be bending over bakwards to praise a player like McKnight who had stuck it out through so many terrible seasons t obecome a school record holder. Instead, Bohn openly wishes he'd had someone better all along. This is how he "loves those kids"?
If Bohn is truly that worried about recruiting, maybe he should take the first step by showing recruits that if they choose Colorado, they won't have their accomplishments belittled and their talent made fun of by their athletic director on local radio.

Report: Hawkins out at Colorado
Posted by Chip Patterson
UPDATE - Tuesday 8:30 a.m. - John Henderson of the Denver Post has confirmed with several sources that Dan Hawkins will meet with the team Tuesday morning, then there will be a noon news conference to formally make the announcement. Associate head coach Brian Cabral is expected to be promoted to interim head coach for the final three games. However, most of the staff (likely Cabral included) is not expected to return for the 2011 season.
From the category of "pre-written headlines" comes Monday evening's reports from Colorado. After five seasons as the head coach of the Buffs, Dan Hawkins is out at the University of Colorado. Vic Lombardi of CBS4-Denver reported that Hawkins is expected to meet with the team Tuesday morning, and at that time we will learn whether Hawkins will finish the season, or leave immediately. If the position becomes vacant immediately, it is expected that assistant coach Brian Cabrel will take over the head coaching duties.
Hawkins was on the hot seat coming into the season, and Saturday evening's meltdown against Kansas had to have been the straw that broke the camel's back. Colorado blew a 45-17 fourth quarter lead to a Jayhawks squad that has not scored more than 28 points in a game all season. Despite the outspoken sentiments of the team after the game, Colorado is obviously focused on acting this week.
Keep it here on the College Football Blog, as we will update as the inevitable begins to unfold.

How MySpace Is Antisocial
Page 2 of 2
Milener says going after MySpace users is "definitely a strategic move for the company." Users of other data-heavy sites, such as eBay and CNN.com, might also appreciate Browster's simplified views of the core content of each page, Milener says, but the company focused on MySpace first because viral marketing proceeds faster there. "No two users of CNN.com know each other or can talk to each other," Milener says. "But MySpace has a built-in communication system, including instant messaging and e-mail and blogs. If one person likes Browster they are highly likely to tell 10 friends – or are at least highly enabled to tell 10 friends."
Browster works for any website, not just MySpace. But a coterie of other sites exist solely to "feed the MySpace beast," as Pete Cashmore puts it in his popular technology blog, Mashable.com. Most of them, such as PimpMySpace, MySpaceEditor, and MySpaceLayouts, offer graphics and design tools that help MySpace users build distinctive profiles. The sites typically don't charge for their services, subsisting instead on advertising. Another class of sites – media-sharing networks such as YouTube and Odeo – help users place video links or podcasts onto their MySpace profile pages; viewers or listeners are often directed back to the site hosting the content, which then earns advertising dollars.
But how long can MySpace sustain these peripheral businesses? Despite its growing user base, actual traffic at MySpace plateaued about four months ago. In October 2005, MySpace accounted for about 8 out of every 1,000 daily page views on the Web, according to the Web traffic-monitoring company Alexa; by April 2006, that figure had grown to 20 per 1,000. But since then, MySpace page views as a percentage of overall Internet traffic have been static or declining.
The leveling-off of traffic to the site could merely be a sign that MySpace's main users – 16-to-24-year-olds – are on summer vacation. Or it could mean that MySpace has become so well known that it's no longer the coolest hangout for teen trendsetters. Indeed, in the midst of MySpace's plateau, the new social-networking site Bebo, which is aimed specifically at high-school and college students, has seen a doubling in traffic (to about 4 per 1,000 page views).
There's one more reason MySpace may be a hazardous site to build a business: It can be an inhospitable place for outsiders offering services that draw directly from the MySpace database, for example, by mining profiles automatically. Consider the case of DatingAnyone.com, a site that notified MySpace members whenever a friend's relationship status changed from "taken" to "single" or "dating." The service won praise among technology bloggers as a clever and useful addition to MySpace. But in June, site-owner Jared Chandler received a letter from MySpace lawyers saying that the site violated MySpace's terms of service by placing "an undue burden on the MySpace servers" and demanding that it be shut down; Chandler complied. A similar site, SingleStat.us, suffered a same fate in the same month.
In the end, developers and entrepreneurs who want to offer services to users of large sites may be better off working with companies such as eBay, which explicitly encourages third-party developers to build applications that interface with its inventory database (see "EBay: The OS for E-Commerce?"). "We want to build a platform for innovation," says Eric Billingsley, senior director at eBay Research Labs. "We want third-party developers to develop [new applications] for us, and we allow them to profit from it."

S'been a while hasn't it little blog-child. Have you moved on and shacked up with some other, more frequent blogger? I have to admit, I half expected my login denied and the words 'traitor' scrawled across the page in bright red lipstick. But, no, you want to know what I have been up to all this time, don't you? Well....the stories I can tell...my life is a hotbed of scandal.
Not biting?
Oh ok, I'll tell you about my Barney Martin Balayage and mother-daughter model moment with SHOP Girl Magazine.
There are two things that I enjoy about a visit to the hairdresser - great customer service and a hair dresser that listens to your odd little hair angst issues. Barney Martin hairdressing in Surry Hills has both of these and I was thrilled to recently receive the summer hair must-have - balayage.
Balayage is made for me - it's the lazy girls answer to highlights - lovely sun-bleached looking hair that requires zero maintenance.
Here is the day after pictures, which happily coincided with a photo shoot for SHOP Girl magazine, rah rah. I dressed my daughter, she dressed me. We braided our hair and ate chocolate brownies....No really. The girls at STYD have found the best chocolate brownie is Sydney and they're also so loooovely words just can't describe.
Apart from my devastatingly cute little daughter, what's your thoughts on the balayage? Looks natural? During my last visit to Barney Martin's, my hairdresser, Carl has since become quite the balayage expert and we talked about a more extreme balayage scheduled for my next visit - watch out.

Honors at TCU is unlike anything you've ever experienced.
For the potential business majors out there – we like to take that a step further.
As graduation approaches, I can honestly say that combining my business degree with a background in honors was probably the smartest investment I could make in planning my academic curriculum at TCU. The professors are some of the best in Texas, let alone the country, and the level of diligence and care they take in their undergraduates' professional development is second to none. From honors macroeconomics to the upper echelon courses of each respective business major, the journey business students take from freshman to senior year is a remarkable one filled with challenge, teamwork, and personal success.
You can tell from the beginning just how special an honors emphasis to business really is from the caliber of the freshman courses you sign up for. I'll never forget microeconomics with Dr. Harvey (who coincidentally taught my dad!) and macro with Dr. Sawyer (strangely reminiscent of a modern-day Mark Twain).
My economics courses were some of the most memorable ones I've taken at TCU, largely because of the critical analysis and broad range of conversations we discussed each day in applying the material we covered in class to the events happening in the real world. Understanding Greece's credit crisis or the delicate trade relationship the U.S. holds with China has never been more fascinating when you're sitting at the edge of your seat listening to these gentlemen and your fellow classmates hash out the details you won't find in your everyday Wall-Street Journal!
From there, a wide variety of options await.
Students are encouraged to apply for the Neeley Fellows program, an intense academic four-year curriculum that challenges students academically and professionally to develop the critical thinking and skill sets they'll need to make an impact as future business leaders. Honors business students also often write theses related to their respective area of study – ranging as far as full-blown marketing focus groups to financial analyses of macroeconomic trends occurring in the market.
Some students are even privileged with the opportunity to lead consulting projects for major Fortune 500 companies in the DFW Metroplex – Lockheed Martin and BNSF Railway, to name a few.
Looking back over my past four years, I can honestly say that without this background and training, I would be nowhere close to the favorable position I'm in approaching what lies beyond graduation. Tying honors with business has opened so many doors for me – and I can't wait to see what more awards it will reap in the future.

Ampullary Cancer Patient Stories
When it comes to her health, Maria Mora has always taken a proactive approach. After her mother died of ovarian cancer, she went through genetic testing and based on the results, she opted to undergo a prophylactic oophrectomy (surgical removal of the ovaries) to prevent the same diagnosis. Maria takes care of herself, eats right and exercises. So when she started experiencing bouts of indigestion serious enough to send her to the ER in January 2010, Maria knew something was up. While others might have tried to control their symptoms with Mylanta, Maria, who was 47, saw a gastroenterologist, who ordered an endoscopy.
"The doctor called me a week later and I almost fell off my chair," she recalled. He explained that Maria had ampullary carcinoma, a malignancy at the opening of her bile duct. "The doctor said I'd need a Whipple procedure, and to start interviewing surgeons."
"I interviewed other doctors, but when I met Dr. Hoffman at Fox Chase, I just knew he was the one."
On a friend's recommendation, she called Fox Chase Cancer Center and got an appointment with surgical oncologist John Hoffman, MD, FACS, one of the nation's most experienced surgeons in the Whipple procedure. "I interviewed other doctors, but when I met Dr. Hoffman at Fox Chase, I just knew he was the one," she said. "I liked his credentials, and he's done more than one thousand Whipple procedures. He had a competence and a sense of assurance that made me feel I was in good hands." The Whipple procedure involves removing the head of the pancreas, some of the small intestine and the gallbladder (if it hasn't already been removed). Dr. Hoffman then reconstructs the digestive tract to preserve function.
Maria was scheduled for surgery in late March. During pre-admission testing, Dr. Hoffman came in to talk to her and her husband, taking them through the procedure step-by-step and answering all their questions. Although the Whipple is a major procedure, Maria knew if she was going to have a fighting chance, she needed the surgery as quick as possible in order to put the cancer behind her.
"Everybody at Fox Chase was so supportive and caring."
In typical self-described "Maria" style, she took her recovery in her own hands, forcing herself to walk and work through the recuperation with steely determination. "I couldn't leave the hospital until my body completed specific functions, so I kept walking. I knew what I had to do. Everybody at Fox Chase was so supportive and caring." She was still in the hospital when Dr. Hoffman popped his head in with good news. "My cancer was encapsulated. It wasn't in my lymph nodes," she said. "I was going to be fine."
Maria was home in a week, intent on regaining her strength. "Every day, I'd take another step, make a little progress," she said. In three months, Maria was back to work part time as a legal assistant and paralegal. "I was so anxious to get back to my normal life, but in hindsight, I should have taken more time," she said. "I'm either crazy or strong - or maybe a little bit of both." More than a year later, she's back to walking two miles a day, watches what she eats and takes her digestive enzymes religiously.
"I'm so lucky. God bless Dr. Hoffman and the nurses at Fox Chase."
"I'm so lucky. God bless Dr. Hoffman and the nurses at Fox Chase," she said. "Now, I'm just trying to live my life to the fullest every day. Through this whole thing, I felt divine intervention. I was carried through somehow, and I'm so grateful."

The App That's Changing The Way You Get Your Celebrity News
Normally we'd shy away from something that's already so ingrained in the Perez Hilton aesthetic for fear of being a poser, but this app is just too much fun. Drawma is the latest celebrity-gossip app that delivers pretty much the same fodder you can find on Perez, Just Jared, and Gawker — only now you can doodle on the pictures (Draw-ma, get it?). The app pulls news from 20 of the top gossip feeds, so keeping up with the Whomevers won't be a problem.
What makes this app a real guilty pleasure are the three options for engaging with your lowest-common-denominator celeb news: Doodle it, meme it, and share it, the only thing missing is bop it. Say you scroll by a picture of Taylor Swift's latest breakup and feel a need to scribble all over the offender's face? Just like that, banal information becomes fun, or at least something to do on the train. Or maybe you see a photo of Diane Kruger with a cat; make a meme of it and see your Internet fame skyrocket*.
*Internet fame not guaranteed.

Thanksgiving always has ranked high among my favorite holidays - between heaping helpings of great food, spending time with family and loads of football, what's not to like?
But I have to admit that it kind of falls on an awkward spot on the calendar, assuming you're thinking in terms of seasonal beers (and if you're anything like me, you always are).
Think about it: It's a little late in the year to be drinking Oktoberfests, and many of the high-profile pumpkin ales disappeared from store shelves weeks ago. There are a few tempting winter seasonals available at the moment, but some of the very ...

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Greater Flint Arts Council, Flint, MI, USA
GREATER FLINT ARTS COUNCIL has been one of the pillars of the city of Flint Renaissance. this very dedicated arts council has always seen the cup a half full to completely full. They are always there for the artists with programs, encouragement, kindness and compassion. (sometimes it is not easy to be an artist) They have consistently put on one of the best art events every single month for years and years. They run the gallery and council professionally and are always striving for a way to do things better..to serve the artists and community better. This is a very tenacious bunch of people who seem to eat, sleep, and breathe art in every venue. They bring out the best in the people in this community who have even the tinest bit of creativity in then. They help that art spirit and assist in nuturing it in anyone who wishes. Greater Flint Arts Council workers go beyond the call of duty!!!!!!! This is great place!!!
More Feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the dedication of the people who run it. they are amazing!!
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Every person I have had contact with (I am not exagerating) have been totally professional and warm, fun and plesant.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
expand or get bigger, create its own performing arts space. More scholarships and programs for young artists.(they are the upcoming group)
Ways to make it better...
hmmmm, this is hard ummmm...more parking
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
there are not enough months in the year.
One thing I'd also say is that...
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every six months
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

York College placed 153 student-athletes on the 2012-13 Capital Athletic Conference All-Academic Team.
The seven-team CAC had 825 student-athletes earn academic accolades during the past academic year. To earn the academic honor, student-athletes must have participated in one of the 21 conference-sponsored sports and attained a 3.20 grade-point average during the 2012-13 academic year.
The Spartans finished tied for second with St. Mary's with the 153 student-athletes who received the honor. York and SMC finished four back of Salisbury, who captured the crown for the highest total of student-athletes with 157. It is the second year in a row that the Sea Gulls nipped the Spartans by four in the total number of honorees.

Building a healthy community has been identified as a priority for Fond du Lac County in the Fond du Lac County Community Health Improvement Plan 2020. In 2011, 13 percent of the area's population struggled with that priority when utilizing Food Share supplemental assistance.
What families participating in Food Share are up against is the difficulty in acquiring healthy foods due to the lack of supermarkets with an accessible distance.
In promoting a healthier community, the Downtown Fond du Lac Partnership (DFP), Fond du Lac Area United Way, YMCA, and Living Well FDL are coordinating to bring fresh vegetables and fruits to lower income families in our area.
The downtown area of Fond du Lac has been labeled as a food desert and consequently people living in that area have less access to healthy foods sold in stores such as Festival and Pick n Save, both located on the outskirts of town.
A food desert is considered by the United Stated Department of Agriculture (USDA) an area of consensus track 1/2-mile to 1-mile from the nearest supermarket in urban areas.
To combat the food deserts as well as obesity in our community, the DFP is implementing a program called Double Days. Through this program Food Share recipients' purchases at the farmers market - the first Saturday of the month in June, July and August are matched up to $15.
Following the introduction of Electronic Balance Transfer (EBT) use at the farmers market last year, the Double Days program allows Food Share recipients to use their QUEST card when purchasing local produce from local vendors. The program does not include customers using debit or credit cards for purchases.
According to the DFP, "This is one step in reducing barriers and making fresh fruits and vegetable accessible to those who need it most."
In order to receive the Double Days deal, Food Share recipients must swipe their card with the market manager each time they visit the farmers market. By doing this customers are also helping to track usage and promote the success of the program.
Through websites, radio, print media, and social media the DFP is reaching out to Food Share participants and the public. The Fond du Lac Area United Way donated $500 to the program to help with its success and goal of building a healthy community.
In addition to bringing lower income families fresh, healthy foods, the Double Days program serves to benefit the local economy through its growth of the downtown district. The program will draw more people to the area and help farmers to thrive in selling their goods.
The first day of the farmers market this year is Saturday May 10, 7am to 12pm and is located on the corner of Western Avenue and Linden Street. The Wednesday Market will open the first Wednesday in June on the Main Street Plaza, on the corner of Main Street and Sheboygan Street.

To give you an idea of out of control my stash was, read Chris' thread on 'fessing up to how big our stashes are and how they got that way. I sometimes wonder, now that I am not purusing for yarn and have much more time to think and actually KNIT, if the purchasing of yarn isn't a separate addiction unto itself. I mean, I love to "hunt" for yarn, buy yarn, plot out a future for it, it's very exciting. However, eventually, one must knit up all that stash so I think the two Fiber Addictions must meet in the middle, not all over the living room, falling out of closets, etc. Welcome and good luck.M L

Best Buy confirms T-Mobile G2's Oct 6 ship date
updated 09:25 am EDT, Fri September 10, 2010
G2 pre-orders start September 10
In advance of a formal announcement by T-Mobile, Best Buy today confirmed that the T-Mobile G2 will launch in stores on October 6 for $200 with a new two-year activation. They will be taking pre-orders from today, although customers must visit a Best Buy or Best Buy Mobile stand-alone store to secure their device. At the time of writing, T-Mobile's own site still only states that the anticipated device will be available for pre-order "starting later this month."
The G2 is the first official reference Android phone to be sold directly through T-Mobile since the G1 first shipped in 2008 and will have an untouched Android 2.2 install out of the box. It will share familiar QWERTY slider design, but add HSPA+ 3G support for speeds twice as fast as T-Mobile's other phones, at 14.4Mbps. A larger 3.7-inch screen, a five-megapixel camera, an optical trackpad and multi-touch are its most conspicuous upgrades over the old model.

The government has cancelled plans to hold that Olympics thing in London next year.
Olympics minister Jeremy Hunt said that endless meetings, fiddly contracts and repeated late nights had all influenced the decision.
Speaking to reporters this morning, a haggard looking Hunt said: "I don't want to hear another word about bringing nations together, bridging cultural divides, or any of that other crap."
Hunt added that he has recently found himself replying to Olympics-related emails on Saturday mornings, despite assurances from David Cameron that the Olympics brief fits comfortably into a normal working week.
"I should have been clearing out my shed last weekend," said Hunt, "not dealing with queries from the Ethiopian sports minister."
Government sources said that Sebastian Coe, the Olympics chairman, has forwarded French officials some 10,000-cell spreadsheets on building materials procurement, saying they are welcome to host the global headache if they were so upset about losing out first time around.
At press time Paris had not responded.

Edison, N.J. (AP) -- President Bush is doing his part to help New Jersey's cash-strapped Republican Party raise money.
Bush appeared at a Wednesday night fund-raiser in Edison, raising $675,000 for the state GOP, which lags far behind Democratic efforts in advance of the fall elections.
The President talked about terrorism, the war and taxes, saying it's important for a Republican to succeed him as President
About 200 protesters were kept well away. One had a 60-foot banner containing the names and pictures of New Jersey's war dead. Another stood on a milk crate, dressed as a victim of prison abuse.
Bush joked that he got a lot of heckling the last time he was in New Jersey, too, in a reference to Democratic dominance in a state where his 25% approval rating is even lower than his national average.

|Multimodality MRI and MRA for Decision Making in Minor Stroke: A Case with Internal Carotid and Distal Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20572908 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|We report the case of a 65-year-old man who presented with mild, rapidly improving stroke symptoms. Acute magnetic resonance imaging disclosed no diffusion abnormalities but a tandem internal carotid artery/distal middle cerebral artery occlusion associated with a large corresponding deficit on perfusion imaging. In addition, there was a cross-flow to the middle cerebral artery via the anterior communicating artery. Therefore, intravenous thrombolysis was initiated that led to rapid reopening of the middle cerebral artery and left the patient free of symptoms. Our observation highlights the possible benefit of systemic thrombolytic treatment even in the setting of an internal carotid artery occlusion and the substantial contribution of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging for a risk-benefit estimate.

SIMPSONVILLE, Ky. -- Georgia College's season finally came to a close with the Bobcats losing 3-2 in match play against CSU-Stanislaus in the NCAA quarterfinals on Thursday at the par-72, 7,092-yard Cardinal Club Golf Course.
Former Eastside golfer Taylor Smith, a junior who was named Bobcat Athlete of the Week for his efforts in the NCAA Regional Championship where he carded a 5-under par 211, had a good tournament with a pair of par round and a 1-under par 71 in the third round to finish the tournament tied for 15th place.
The Bobcats finished in the top eight in the first earning a spot in the quarterfinals. Georgia College collected wins from Patrick Garrett (Kennesaw) and Ryan Trocchio (Norcross) in the loss to CSU-Stanislaus.
Trocchio out-did CSU-S's top player in Trevor Blair 71-74. Garrett did Trocchio one better with a 71-75 victory over Chris McCracken.
The Bobcats had a phenomenal 2011-12 campaign, winning an NCAA South/Southeast Super Regional Championship without the benefit of a single senior. The region title was just the second in school history, and the Bobcats put three on the All-Peach Belt Conference (PBC) teams in Garrett, Trocchio and Smith. Trocchio added PBC Freshman of the Year honors as well.
The No. 18 ranked Georgia College golf team has advanced to quarterfinal action at the 2012 NCAA Division II Championships, taking fifth in stroke play.
The Bobcats shot their best round of the stroke-play tournament on the final day shooting a 3-under par 285. The Bobcats finished 2-under par for the three-rounds after carding a 289 and 288 on the first two days.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey hospital didn't discriminate when it refused to accommodate a California man who claimed his 12-pound poodle was a service dog.
New Jersey's Civil Rights Division says the dog failed to receive the type of training associated with a service dog even though it had a tag issued by San Francisco's animal care and control department identifying it as an assistance dog
Authorities in California said the tag was never intended to suggest the animal had been trained and many tags are issued to animals that are not.
Morristown Memorial Hospital refused to allow the dog inside the emergency room and a hospital room in 2013.
New Jersey law says a person accompanied by a properly trained service animal cannot be barred from a public place of accommodation.

"The cards were beautiful! The paper looked good and the colors popped! People thought they were perfect for a Hawaiian wedding. Can't wait to do the invitations/thank yous in the same design."
"Recently purchased in Cream. I really love it! The only thing that is disappointing is the gold part is not metallic but just printed gold. Still looks good but would be better with actual foil. But Overall we love it!"
"I love the quality of the cards and the envelopes. The size of the cards are almost 4 1/2 x 5 1/2. A perfect size to realize that it's something important in your mailbox. It looks great on my refrigerator with a magnet and in my curio on display. I highly recommend the black and gold border."
"Love everything about the Save the Date Card. The foil and writing came out perfect. Exactly how I wanted it. The material felt like good quality as well."

The Geometry of Pasta even got on the New York Times' radar in December. Besides being a truly beautiful and fun book to look at with its black and white renditions of the varieties of pasta you can and sometimes can't find at your local grocery store, it's filled with historical explanations like where the pasta got its name and when or how it was invented.
One thing I did learn was that some pastas just taste better fresh. That explains why I've never had really good success with gnocchi. It also explains why you can't find orrecchiette in a box on the shelves.
Previously, I've been pretty stuck on Barilla pasta. The spaghetti rigatti is a favorite of ours. However, Barilla doesn't offer (or at least Publix doesn't carry) a lot of the shapes that make sauces successful. So, I'm learning to branch out--mainly to Ronzoni pasta for varieties like orzo.
My plan is to make a pasta from the book every-other-week or so and share how it turned out. Meanwhile, if you have interest in having a book with more than a list of recipes, but also an explanation for the whys and wherefores, than I highly recommend trotting down to your library and picking it up. Meanwhile, I'll be storing this gem in my own kitchen library.

Orange (Calif.) Lutheran defensive end Keisean Lucier-South / Photo courtesy of Rivals.com
Most of Michigans needs in the 2015 class have been filled more than six months from National Signing Day in February. U-M needed a quarterback, and local four-star Alex Malzone fit the bill. Four-star tight end Chris Clark filled a need at that position. The offensive line has two strong commitments in four-star Grant Newsome and three-star Jon Runyan. Even a kicker, often an afterthought in recruiting, is in the fold: two-star Andrew David.
The Wolverines eight current commits form a solid bunch, and most of the class needs are filled in one form or another. While theres still a need for defensive backs, two strong four-stars in Tyree Kinnel and Garrett Taylor are in place. Another linebacker will join Darrin Kirkland Jr. in the fold.
There are two needs yet to be filled: wide receiver and defensive line. While Michigans coaches likely will pursue only one wide receiver, at least two defensive linemen probably both ends, rather than tackles should be in the fold in the end.
Fortunately for U-M, there are some strong options at the position. Lincolnton (N.C.) four-star Darian Roseboro ranked No. 7 at the position and No. 79 overall in the nation by Rivals.com and Tyrone Wheatley Jr. (also a tight end prospect) are high on Michigan. Wheatleys dad played at U-M. Louisiana sleeper Jalen Bates is also on the board with a U-M offer, and he also has a Michigan connection through cousin Jonas Mouton, a former Wolverines linebacker (and current San Diego Charger).
Some of the nations top prospects remain on the board. Perhaps none is more intriguing than Orange (Calif.) Lutheran four-star Keisean Lucier-South. The nations No. 35 overall prospect and No. 2 weak-side end grew up rooting for Michigan (among others), and while hes not giving away his upcoming top-five list, its likely the Wolverines and hometown UCLA will make the cut.
I dont know wholl be in the top five yet, Im still figuring it out, he said. (UCLA and Michigan) probably. I think theyre going to be in there. I know the coaches, theyre good to me, and theyre always talking to me, so theyre probably going to be in that list.
With so many options on the table, its clear the Wolverines will be able to land a talented prospect, no matter who it is.

Why is MPC perceived to be the best?, (an off-topic audio encoding discussion)
Why is MPC perceived to be the best?, (an off-topic audio encoding discussion)

This is a question that has floated through my mind for most of a year, but only yesterday became more clear to me.
Actually, it's a two-part question...
... 1. Is MPC commonly accepted among the HA community as the best psychoacoustic encoding format? (i.e., the most efficient at achieving perceptual transparency.)
... 2. If so, why?
The first item I've heard stated quite frequently, but have never seen any results of "transparency threshold tests" that would reveal the superior efficiency of MPC. I've heard that MPC uses superior encoding technology, but I'm referring more to the end result of such development efforts...the perceived sound quality, as measured against other codecs at the point of perceptual transparency for a significant number of people.
These concerns on my part were born from a post I made here, where the points of MPC statistically tying other formats at 128kbps, but no other known test results existing, were brought up. The thread portion ended up in the recycle bin, but I'm taking the chance that my concerns about calling MPC "the best" weren't the reason it was put there.
Hence, I want to bring up this idea in a different context in the off-topic forum (in the hope that this will be the correct area for it).
What I'd like to see, for instance, for the education of myself and others, would be a results summary like the following (though this is a very simplistic example)...
Format............Perceptual Transparency Threshold (nominal bitrate across samples tested)
MPC.................nnn kbps
AAC.................nnn kbps
Vorbis..............nnn kbps
...and so forth
Granted, VBR is more efficient at mid-bitrates and up, and quality-based VBR modes aren't bitrate centric, but we need some means of measurement and comparison between codecs in this context, so if not calling it "nominal bitrate", then perhaps "average filesize per minute of audio across all samples"
Perceptual Transparency Threshold could have a fixed target, like >90% samples with 5.0 subjective ratings, and non-differentiable from reference with ABX testing.
This kind of test has been discussed before, and has been mostly viewed as having little "real-world value". And I agree. Roberto's tests are much more relevant for most music listeners, and for determining the best formats for useful purposes like streaming audio, portable players, etc.
Many of us (including me) have trouble testing even these bitrate ranges, so higher ones would be even more tedious, and would answer not as many pressing questions.
My point, though, is how can MPC be called "the best for achieving transparency" without a test such as this? (Because so far it's been shown to be only "among the best" at lower rates.)

There's never been a hard and fast test as to which is the best. The problem is the same reason why roberto hasn't attempted a test at greater than 128kbps. On representative samples, you run into transparency.
So, the basis for Musepack's high status around here is pretty straightforward: on all the problem samples that kill most encoders, Musepack (at Q5+) tends to do better than the others. This was especially pronounced before AAC and Vorbis were contenders, when LAME was being tuned, --r3mix happened, and Frank was still heavily tuning Musepack and so on. Musepack is also less technically complex, being a subband encoder. Tuning it takes less effort than would tuning a transform encoder like Vorbis, AAC, or MP3. It also has fewer intrinsic problems with things like pre-echo.
I am uncertain if the problem samples comparisons would give the same results now. However, you're not going to get comparative information by any other means than problem samples. The issue there is that different encoding methods give different problem samples, so one that breaks Musepack horribly might not break AAC at all.
It would be nice if one of the older members here would say a word or two. The opinions I've reiterated here were "fresh" when I joined. They've sort of been passed down to later HA members by proxy.
1. Attack the argument, not the arguer.
2. Assume good faith.

Chapter Twenty Three
"You two are going to be late if you don't hurry up and stop humping in there." Nic called knocking on the closed bedroom door. I opened the door biting my already sore lip.
"I don't know what you're gettin' at." I smiled at her as I listened to Tucker hustle to get dressed and grab his bag. Nic rolled her eyes nodding to my inside out sweatshirt. I giggled walking out the door as Tucker followed.
"She is going to kill me some day Nic." He said shaking his head.
"Yeah. He'll be sexual exhausted." She laughed nudging me. I nodded smiling as I walked down the stair pulling my sweatshirt off and turning it inside out before putting it back on.
"She's a little minx in the bed room." Tucker smiled kissing my neck.
"You know you love me." He bit the skin on my neck gently.
"I do love you." He sighed happily. "Come on we better get going." I nodded holding onto my bag as I said bye to the guys and hugged them. "We'll be back soon." Tucker said hugging his friends.
"Sure Dude. Have fun." Blake chuckled. Be slapped his bad.
"No Mile High Club alright?" Tucker rolled his eyes as Ben hugged me. "None of this for my new little sister." I slammed him.
"What makes me your new little sister Benjamin?" He held me tight for a moment before walking over to Nic kissing her.
"Well since I'm dating Nicole here, and you're as good as sisters. This means you're as good as my sister. I always wanted a sister you know." He smiled at me. "So this means I get to be the over protective one." Nic shook her head smiling.
"You're crazy Ben." He shrugged as I hugged him again. "But thank you."
"No problem." He smiled as Tucker looked at his watch.
"Come one Car we're going to be late." I nodded walking over to him.
"I'll come with you Nic then we can go out to eat." Ben kissed her neck. "Then we could have the whole-"
"Dude that's my sister." Tucker groaned as I pulled him to the SUV.
"Don't I know that." He smiled as we all got in. I laughed at Tucker's face as he shuddered thinking of his sister.
"You do half the things I do with Carson I swear I'm going to Ki-"
"Tucker!" We all said at the same time. He shrugged taking my hand in his.
"Alright, alright I'll save it for the bedroom." He smirked. "If we can wait that long." He wiggled his eyebrow at me. I giggled at him before grabbing my bag as Nic pulled up to the Airport.
"Come on or we are going to be late." I took Tucker's hand in mine as I waved bye to Nic and Ben. Tucker took my bag as we got our tickets from the ticket booth quickly as we made our way to airport security. I laughed at Tucker after he got searched during it as the Security winked at me. I picked up my bag and slipped back on my shoes and running to find the gate waving bye to the Guard as Tucker ran after me.
"Last call for flight 276 to Dallas. Last call." A flight attendant nodded her head. "Let's go." Another flight attendant saw us and smiled.
"Wait I see two more." She said pulling out the ticket scanner as I handed her my ticket. The first flight attendant nodded walking into the hall to the plane.
"Thank you." I smiled taking a deep breath at her as Tucker stopped behind me handing her his ticket.
"No problem. You two are really lucky though. We almost left. But if I saw you I would have waited." She winked at me. "Come on in so we can go." I nodded.
"Thank you so much. I don't know what I would do if I missed this. I'm going to see my Step-Mom give birth to my baby brother." She turned to smile.
"Oh congratulations." She smiled showing us to our seat in the back, an empty row. "Here you two go. We should be taking off soon." She smiled as Tucker put both our bags away. I sat by the window as Tucker sat down next to me buckling my seatbelt in. He smiled pulling my broken wrist into his lap.
"How do you feel about seeing Sarah again?" He asked as I curled up with him as the plane got ready to take off.
"I could never thank your dad enough for this." Tucker kissed my head as I closed my eyes as the plane took off making my ears pop. I bit my sore lip hard. Tucker stroked my hair kissing my head. He ran his thumb over my cut lip.
"I love you Carson. Nic loves you. My parents see that. That's what matters." He looked at my scabbed lip. "Stop biting it baby it's not going to heal that way." I sighed unbuckling my seatbelt and leaning on the window of the plane putting my legs over Tucker's lap.
"I love you Tucker. Never forget that." He looked at me cocking his head to the side.
"I know Carson. I know." I closed my eyes as I listened to the songs going on around me. The chatter of the other people talking to their neighbor about nothingness. The sound of the business men typing on their laptops to pass the time before their business meeting. The snores of the people flying to an unknown place oh so far away. I slipped into unconsciousness as Tucker gently stroked my knees as he listened to his iPhone…..
"Car it's time to wait up baby cakes." I opened my eyes as Tucker rubbed my cheek. "We're here." I looked around as the plane touched down in Dallas.
"What time is it?" I yawned rubbing my eyes.
"It's about 7:30 sweetheart." The Flight attendant said as she passed by. Tucker grabbed our bags as I unbuckled the seatbelt Tucker must have put on me.
"You took my sunglasses." I smiled stretching walking out into the aisle. He handed them to me I put them on top of my head.
"They fell out your head when you were sleeping." He put his arm over my shoulder as we walked to the front. I pulled out my phone and dialed.
"Hello?" A voice said into the phone.
"Hello Mr. Green." I said as we sat down on a bench as people hustled and bustled around us.
"Carson what did I tell you to call me?" He laughed happily.
"Sorry…Grandpa." I smiled. "Where are you?" Tucker started to text his father.
"Uh…I'm getting your Sarah some food. She hates hospital food. Why?" He asked as I heard him stop his car on the other end of the phone.
"I need a ride." I said biting my lip.
"From Nevada? Sweetheart I just got to meet my grandson, give an old man some time." He laughed.
"No not from Nevada. From Dallas." Tucker squeezed my leg pointing to my lip.
"No biting." He whispered. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"You're in Dallas Carson?" He asked surprised. "She will be so happy. Let me call her."
"No I want to surprise her. I'm at the airport."
"Brilliant! I'll be there in 10 minutes to pick you up. I'm sure you can explain how you got here to Sarah." I could hear the smile in his voice.
"Thanks Grandpa." I couldn't help but smile at that.
"Thank you Carson." He smiled. "Bye."
"Bye." I hung up my phone. Tucker stood up.
"Come on let's take a walk outside." I nodded getting up taking his hand as we walked to the exit of the airport. I smiled as the night heat hit me. "How do you like this?" Tucker groaned.
"I just do." I smiled happily. "It reminds me of home." Tucker looked at me. "Oh the home that was taken from me." I sighed.
"You have a new home now." He said quietly. I looked at him. "Right here." He put his hand over his heart. "And Here." He tapped his head. My jaw wobbled as I stared at me.
"I know. I know that now." I kissed him as he pulled me to him. "I love you Tucker. So much."
"I love you too Car. More than you'll ever know." He whispered putting his hand to my cheek.
"Excuse me children. You wouldn't have called me would you have?" I looked into the car and smiled at the familiar face.
"Thank you for coming Grandpa." I smiled at him opening the door.
"No problem Sweetheart." He smiled his southern accent thick. "Now introduce me to your friend here." He said eyeing up Tucker as we got into the truck.
"Grandpa, this is Tucker. My boyfriend." Grandpa raised his eyebrow at me.
"Really?" He asked as he pulled away to go to the hospital. "Well me and Tucker will be having a little talk then wouldn't we?"
"I wouldn't think any different Sir." Grandpa smiled a little bit at that.
"So Carson how'd you get tickets? Me and Lilly were going to buy you one so you could come see JJ but you beat us to it." He laughed.
"I didn't even expect it. Tucker's parents bought us the tickets." I smiled at Tucker. "I'll find a way to pay them back somehow." Tucker shook his head.
"You don't have to. Never. It's a gift." I sighed looking at him. "Don't give me that look."
"What look?" I asked as Grandpa pulled up to the hospital and into the parking lot.
"The 'you're going to shut up now cause I'm not listening' look." Grandpa laughed as we got out of the car.
"Son I'll let you in on a little hint. They ain't gonna listen to ya." He laughed as we walked inside. "Room 5 on the third floor Sweetheart." He said as I walked to the elevator pressing the button. "Why don't you and I take a walk?" I looked at Tucker.
"Okay Sir." He looked at me as the elevator pinged opening. "I'll meet you up there Baby." He said as Grandpa nodded at me.
"Alright." I nodded getting in the elevator hitting the button 3. I waited for it to open taking a deep breath before walking to room 5. Sarah was sitting on the bed holding a blue bundle. I knocked on the door gently making her look up. She gasped.
"Carson! You're here!" She smiled brightly at me. I nodded walking over to her slowly. I sat down slowly staring at the little bundle in her arms. "You want to hold him." She smiled at me. I nodded shortly as she laid the little baby in my arms. "JJ say hi to your big sister." I looked down at two beautiful blue eyes as they stared up at me. I heard the click of Sarah's camera making me blink.
"Hi JJ." I said quietly looking at him as he sucked away on his pacifier. "He looks like Dad." She nodded. "But he has your hair." I pressed my lips to his forehead.
"He's amazing." She smiled. "Just like his big sister." He hugged me as I held JJ tightly. "Congratulations Lightening." I looked down at JJ again before lifting him to kiss his head.
"I'll protect you with my life." I whispered onto his baby skin. "Forever."
"Carson what happened to your head?" She asked seeing the bandage on my head. I sighed.
"Long story…" I sighed. She patted the spot next to her.
"I got the time." I nodded moving to sit next to her still holding JJ
"Well it all started with my mother……" I said turning my head to look at her…..
"You know now you have to protect her right?" Grandpa said looking at Tucker. He nodded.
"I know. I would do anything for her." He stopped at a window to a store looking into it. "It's perfect." Grandpa looked at him.
"What's perfect?" Tucker pointed at the necklace.
"Perfect. Come on." He said walking into the store over to a sale assistant. "Excuse me Sir?" The assistant looked at him.
"Yes Sir, how can I help you?" Tucker looked at the window.
"Can I have the necklace of the pail and shove?" The assistant nodded going to get it. Grandpa stared at him as Tucker pulled out his wallet. The assistant showed it to him making him smile. "Perfect! I'll take it." He smiled handing him his credit card.
"I'll go ring you up." He smiled walking away as Grandpa stared at him.
"She'll love it." He beamed at him.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Authorities in Reno are trying to find who shot an ambulance with a BB gun and shattered its window.
Paramedics told police they were on a medical call and had a patient in the back of the ambulance when they heard a "pop" a little before 2 a.m. Wednesday. They say the back window shattered, and they evacuated the area with their patient.
Police responded to Hubbard Way and determined the vehicle was probably hit by a BB. But they say they were unable to find any suspects in the area.
Officials say neither the medics nor the patient were hurt.

Google aiming to close Motorola dealComment on this story
San Francisco - Google is planning to complete its $12.5 billion acquisition of cell phone maker Motorola Mobility Holdings.
Motorola outlined the timetable in documents it filed on Monday following Saturday's approval of the deal by regulators in China. That approval removed the final hurdle preventing Google from closing the biggest deal in its 14-year history.
The two companies announced the deal nine months ago.
Google prizes Motorola Mobility Holdings for its portfolio of more than 17,000 patents.
Owning the rights to those patents will provide Google and the mobile device makers who rely on its Android software with valuable weapons in an intellectual arms race with Apple, Microsoft and other technology giants.
But investors are worried Motorola's business making phones will trim Google's profit margins. - Sapa-AP

A National Register Historical Landmark and one of the oldest, most original operational grist mills in the country located in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley. In the early 1780s, Gen. Daniel Morgan, a true Revolutionary War hero, joined efforts with Col.Nathaniel Burwell of Carter Hall to build this water powered mill in an area that would become the quaint village of Millwood. During many years as business flourished, the mill was the center of community life where people would gather to socialize and gossip as they waited for the miller to grind the grains they had brought with them.
Take a tour and step back in time ...come marvel at the unusual and immense interior water wheel..come see, feel, and listen to the power of the turning wooden gears, shafts, bins, and old millstones, while the dedicated miller explains the process of grinding wheat and corn just as it was done over 200 years ago. Freshly ground flour, corn meal , and grits are available for sale at the mill.
