FSN KC Broadcasts…
On Wednesday, the team had an off day down in Surprise, Ariz., giving them all the more time to get ready for the Royals TV debut on FSN Kansas City on Thursday night…
The Royals face the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday in Cactus League Play with first pitch slated for 8:05 p.m. It marks the first game that new TV partner FSN Kansas City will broadcast and since it's during prime time, you won't have to skip out on work to get your first looks of FSN Kansas City broadcasting our Boys in Blue. Brett Tomko is scheduled to take the mound at Surprise Stadium on Thursday, making another bid for one of the remaining starting spots in the rotation. Would you like to see Tomko make the rotation cut?
Back to FSN…here's some more exciting news: FSN Kansas City will broadcast 88 games (88 games!) in HD this season…for the FIRST time in Royals history. Yup, not just the CrownVision videoboard will be showing your Royals in HD – provided, of course, that you have HD television service. The HD telecasts' schedule was just released today and can be found here. The HD schedule starts Opening Day, Monday, March 31, when the Royals visit the Detroit Tigers. And, on the home front, the April 8 opener at Kauffman will be produced in an HD telecast as well. Actually, both the entire season-opening series against the Tigers and the home-opening series against the Yankees will be televised in HD. Royals fans wanting to take advantage of watching the team in HD this season should contact their cable or satellite provider to find out if FSN Kansas City HD telecasts are available in their area…and get any of your other HD-related questions answered.
Regardless, if you watch the team in HD or not, you can definitely look forward to catching more of your Royals on TV since FSN Kansas City is broadcasting 140 regular season games and two spring training contests. The first is Thursday at 8:05 p.m., and the other is next Monday night, March 24. Welcome, FSN, to the Royals family!

Of course, in the Royals "market" in Oklahoma, none of the games will be on. And, if I try and buy them on Extra Innings or MLB.TV, they'll all be blacked out.
Thanks a lot, Royals! %$#@$%

Mine renewed about a month before they were due. I called and asked to cancel due to the price. I was issued a credit to the 1/2 off 1yr price. $116.46 total.

I assume that you used a credit card and SiriusXM charged it one month early.

Yes, we have the royalty fee in the US. 9.8%? Sales tax varies by location.
Just curious. In Canada, the XM packages also have a royalty fee attached. Is there such a fee in the United States? In Canada, you pay your rate, then about a 17% music royalty fee, then 13% sales tax. It gets pricey up there. How does your bill break down?

They added a few channels to my radio today (I have an a la carte subscription). They have done that before for special preview weekends. I have not looked to see what is temporarily there.
"Starting tomorrow -- and running through Nov. 27 -- Sirius will be turning on all inactive radios. Listeners won't have access to all of the platform's content, but 60 stations of sports, news, talk, entertainment, and commercial-free music should give them a good taste of what they're missing out on."
Here's the promo list for Sirius and XM.

My subscription for XM Select was due to renew on 11/26 so I called today to cancel. I have been paying $77 + royalty fees & taxes for 3 years straight. Well this year the best they could do was $86 + royalty fees & taxes ($93.73) as their prices went up a bit but still this was a pretty good deal. They also gave me a credit from today until 11/26 since my new renewal date will be 11/23/2013.
This subscription is for my wife's car. I have an XM receiver in my 2012 Camry SE but I feel that the quality of XM is not that great. CDs or higher bit rate mp3's sound much better IMHO. Since I have a USB port in the Camry I just loaded up a 16 GB USB flash drive with my entire CD collection so I can listen to what I like in much better fidelity.

Just renewed for 3 months, for $18.00. Not too bad for a short term deal.
$25 for six months is much better!

They wouldn't offer me anything else, with the exception of a 1 year contract at half price. It would have maxed out with taxes in, for just under $100.00.

The first call produced an almost impossible to hear (and almost impossible to understand) voice that sounded like it was speaking from Mars. I hung up and tried again. This time I got a clear connection with someone who obviously was much more attentive in "learning to speak English" class.
"Would you continue the service for the same rate of $25 for six months" he immediately asked after figuring out I wanted to cancel. "SURE" I said. After the usual questions I was back in business for another six months.
Then I logged into my account to see just what he had done. It's bizarre! The invoice shows "XM Select" for $29.94 and a music royalty fee of $2.93. Then there is a tax of $1.67. But there is also an inexplicable "adjustment/credit" in the amount of $7.91! I also got a credit for the four days remaining on my present "deal" making the grand total come out to exactly $26.
I wonder what kind of games they are playing with the FTC & FCC as part of their merger agreement but as far as I'm concerned I'm happy. They must just assume that there are a lot of subscribers who don't pay attention to when their promo sub ends and once it renews they just put up with the highway robbery fee.

Maybe next week I'll post it in the buy/sell area here with both car and home kits.
While on the phone I was able to negotiate s good deal on extending my built in XM and NavTraffic for an additional year. CSR volunteered the half off program. So I grabbed another year of XM and the NavTraffic was thrown in for free. Think promo ends today or tomorrow.

In short (or not so), I recently acquired a new-to-me XpressRCi to replace the Snap radio I had in one of my vehicles that simply didn't have enough presets for me, so when the new radio arrived, I went on-line to do the requisite radio "swap" on my existing account.
Unfortunately, I discovered during the process that although the "swap" may be completed on-line, it required the entry of credit card data, which is data that even though I am a very long-term XM subscriber, I simply refuse to give to SiriusXM.
So, girding my loins (I love that term), I dialed the "support" number, fully cognizant of the fact that, as in the past, I'm going to be spending 30-45 minutes on hold before I'm able to speak to an actual human being.
A quick jaunt through the SiriusXM IVR, and two minutes later, I'm speaking to "Chris." Yes, two minutes, and I was left almost speechless as I had a good thirty minutes of preoccupation activities planned before I expected human interaction (the litter boxes are still full)!
1. "Chris" asks how he can assist.
2. I tell him I want to complete a radio "swap."
3. "Chris" says he can help me with that, asks me for the radio details and asks if he may initiate the "swap" fee.
4. I figure, what the heck, since I have a human on the line, I tell "Chris" that I would rather the fee be waived (even though I was willing to pay it if I could have completed the transaction on-line, but by invoice, not by credit card).
5. "Chris" asks if he may put me on hold for a minute or two to check to see if the "swap" fee can be waived (great, here comes the 30-minute hold). He comes back about thirty seconds later and informs me that the waiver is done!
Okay, I figure that I'm on a roll, so even though I still have four months remaining on my fourth or fifth round of multi-radio promo pricing, what the hack, let's see what they can do, so I asked about renewal promos, to which "Chris" replies that there is "nothing available at this time, but to be sure to check back as the promo gets closer to its expiration." Since I had no intention of canceling service, I, obviously, wasn't going to push the issue at that time and simply thanked "Chris" for his great service.
This was, by far, the best experience I have ever had with SiriusXM and it pleases me to no end, both as a subscriber and a shareholder, that SiriusXM appears to be taking their service "Siriusly."
"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force." - Ayn Rand

There are hidden gems to be found. Locating them isn't always easy, but when you do, they can be worth their weight in gold.
In November 1922, months after the first issue of The Journal of Personnel Research, Workforce's predecessor, came off the printing presses, a major discovery had been unearthed. It was an unparalleled find that dominated the headlines of the day and captivated the imagination of much of the world then and for generations to come.
A young king had been found in the Valley of the Kings.
For 3,000-plus years, the sarcophagus for the pharaoh Tutankhamen—and all the gold and riches that followed King Tut into his final resting place—lay buried in Egypt's most famous graveyard. After years of fruitless searches and after a drop-dead deadline to make a discovery was set, archeologist Howard Carter and his team came upon the find of a lifetime. It all started with the uncovering of a step near the tomb of another king, Ramses VI.
That first step would lead to 15 others, taking the team to the entrance of the tomb of Tut, a king who died too soon and who is now the most famous ruler from Egypt's Dynasty XVIII.
After making the discovery, Carter wasn't sure what he had found: a tomb or a cache. He summoned his benefactor, George Herbert, or Lord Carnavon as he was known, to come to Egypt to witness what was behind an entrance buried for centuries beneath sand and rubble. When he breached the door by chiseling a small hole, Carter reported that he peered inside with a candle. Overcome with anticipation, Carnavon said, "Can you see anything?" Carter, astonished by what he was witnessing, replied: "Yes, wonderful things."
Wonderful things, indeed.
Inside the tomb was a priceless cornucopia of treasures and historical artifacts preserved for millenniums. The discovery also unleashed a renewed interest in Egyptology that persists today.
Speaking of today, there are important discoveries to be made in the 21st century, too. But it might require the same hands-on thoroughness Carter used to find King Tut's tomb to detect them and not relying on technology alone.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-technology. That said, and maybe this will sound as useful to you as studying hieroglyphics, but when seeking job applicants, I do believe in taking a step back to recruiting's roots. After all, relying too much on technology will keep great candidates under wraps.
I understand that résumé overload is a real concern, but perhaps one of the first steps in unearthing the crown-jewel candidate is to print out and spot-check some of the résumés rejected by your applicant tracking system. Inevitably, some great candidates' interview chances were left for dead by a program that keys on words, not necessarily deeds. Or maybe you go old-school and search through some of the applications you're required to hang onto anyway that are entombed within a metal filing cabinet, inside a pile of papers stacked on a desk or sealed away in a file folder on your server. There, you might find a treasure-trove of information that hasn't seen the light of day in weeks, months or even years.
By all means, "see who else is out there" via the typical 21st century means when recruiting, but who knows if there's a diamond-in-the-rough résumé resting in peace in your office unless you look?
So go exploring before the résumé-mummification process takes place. Wonderful things could come of it.

Two men are accused of robbing and trying to kill a 75-year-old Conway woman.
Northampton County lawmen arrested 18-year old Devin Pallone and 24-year old Justin Treakle. The Sheriff's Office says the 75-year old victim was the suspects' landlord, and they lived next door to her in Conway. She called 911 around 1:00 a.m. Thursday, October 6th saying she had been beaten. The woman told deputies she was hit, choked, blacked out, and woke up in the trunk of her car. Lawmen say gasoline had been poured around the car. Her home was ransacked and cash and other items were taken. The two suspects were arrested Thursday afternoon and their bonds are set at 400-thousand dollars cash.
The victim was treated at the hospital and is expected to be okay.

ATLANTA, Ga. -- Once a firebrand in Georgia's General Assembly, long time state representative and civil rights worker Tyrone Brooks has been relatively quiet the last few years.
But Tuesday the 67-year-old lawmaker and activist came out swinging at the FBI and the federal government.
"I've never been accused of corruption or bribery; I've never been accused of anything but being a civil rights worker," the Atlanta Democratic Representative said.
He confirmed that the FBI has approached some members of the Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials, which he heads.
He said they've been asking about financial dealings surrounding an annual re-enactment his group and other civil rights organizations stage to remember the 1946 massacre and lynching of two black couples at Moore's Ford Bridge in Monroe.
"Many of our friends and supporters around the state, Monroe and beyond, have called us in terms of FBI visiting them, raising questions about our work," Brooks said.
He insists he's done nothing wrong.
Instead, he claims the FBI Atlanta office is embarrassed by pressure from his group over its failure to solve the 66-year-old crime and is even covering up federal involvement.
He points out it's a tactic they've used against civil rights figures in the past, like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"I know the tactics of character assassination and the smear machine; I've seen it many, many times throughout my career," Brooks added.
Following their usual practice, the Atlanta FBI office would not comment on any investigation.
But First Assistant U.S. Attorney John Horn sent 11 Alive a statement saying, "The Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials is not under investigation, nor do we have any reason to believe the organization was engaged in any wrongdoing.
Horn did not say if Brooks, himself, was being investigated.
The State Representative said the FBI has not contacted him, only some other members of GABEO.
He also said former Democratic Governor Roy Barnes has offered his legal services, if needed.

From the far right "The Seditionist" page on Facebook:
Here are the facts behind your so-called scandals:
1) Reverend Jeremiah Wright is a preacher in a Chicago church where the congregation consists primarily of poor Blacks – a disenfranchised group in America. He once expressed his displeasure with how America treats this group in a strong manner. Since President Obama had attended this church for 20 years, it got some teabag enthusiasts' panties in a wad, and they claimed our President is a Black supremacist or a Black separatist. However, President Obama has neither said anything nor signed any bills as President that would indicate such.
2) Before Barack Obama was President he once served on a board with another guy who was involved in terrorism decades earlier. This guy had turned his life around and become a college professor by the time he and Barack Obama met
3) Solyndra is just one of 38 green energy companies that the Obama administration invested in. The majority of these companies are still in operation and producing a return on the government's investment. In fact, the Obama administration's investment in green energy companies has a higher success rate than a typical private sector investment
4) Fast and Furious was part of a "gun walking" program that was run by the ATF. The ATF agents who werepart of it were far below the President on the chain of command and, therefore, the President couldn't have anything to do with this directly or even close to directly
5) A reporter in the Associated Press was accused of leaking classified information, which is a federal crime. When you are a suspect in a federal crime, you get a search warrant issued against you. This has nothing to do with suppressing freedom of the press, as you teahadists like to imply. I suggest you look at how your wet dream Vladimir Putin does things to see what ACTUAL suppression of free press looks like.
6) See #5
7) Congressional Republicans passed a bill that cut embassy security as part of budget cuts. President Obama signed it because people who don't consider teabags fashion accessories understand that compromise is part of politics. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and other killed that day traveled from the main Lybian embassy in Tripoli to an outpost in Benghazi where they were attacked by terrorists and had no security to protect them.
8) At the time, IRS closely scrutinized all applications for a tax-exempt status from organizations that had political-sounding names. This included both TEA party-tied and "Occupy"-tied organizations. The reason for this scrutiny was because political organizations are not allowed to get tax-exempt status as community service organizations, which is what many TEA party groups did.
9) In the Pigford v. Glickman case Black farmers filed a class action lawsuit against the USDA for racial discrimination. There is an email forward floating around in the teabagging community that implies that a) the payout in this case suddenly ballooned when President Obama took office and b) there are more defendants who received a payout from this case than there are Black farmers in the U.S. The former claim is, at best, a distortion of facts. While the case was settled under President Obama, it was a long and complex legal process that started when Clinton was President. The latter claim is completely false. By the way, out of all the lawsuits you teabaggers could've used to smear our current President, why did you choose one involving BLACK farmers. Anyone with a triple-digit IQ can see your dog whistles from a mile away.
10) I assume by "end runs around Congress" you mean executive orders. Unless President Obama GREATLY increases his rate of executive orders, he will leave office having signed FAR fewer of them than your demigod Ronald Reagan. And this is despite the fact that he is dealing with a Congress that's on track to becoming the least productive Congress in American history. And no, none of his executive orders are a breach of the Constitution
11) When I typed "Sebelius demands payment" into Google, I could find no relevant results. At this point, you are just making sh*t up
12) I assume by "our enemies" you mean Al Queda. The U.S. was actually aiding Syrian rebels in their fight for that democracy thing you right-wingers claim to love so much every time you send our soldiers to die in a foreign country. Al Queda attached itself to Syrian rebels for the specific purpose of discrediting the U.S.
13) Many Presidents have made recess appointments, the first being none other than George Washington. In fact St. Ronnie Reagan made 240 recess appointments while Barack Obama made only 32. And none of these appointments violate the Constitution as recess appointments are expressly allowed by Article Two Section 3.
14) This claims stems from a brain fart produced by Louie Gohmert – a man widely known to have acquired his bald spot because his hair died under his tinfoil hat – and echoed by right-wing lunacy repositories on the internet like TheBlaze.com. However, there is no evidence that this claim is true. All of the DHS officials that Gohmert named were vetted before they took their jobs, and found to have no connections with any enemies of the United States. No further evidence of their involvement with anyone unsavory has been produced since either
15) Before you decry "Obamacare" as an atrocity of the highest order, try understanding how it works first. You might actually have a shred of credibility then. (I said "might" so I'm not making any promises.) Nobody who is wealthy and influential enough to be friends with The President needs a waiver to be exempt from the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act states that everyone must purchase health insurance or pay a fine to the IRS. There are millions of people who are exempt from this mandate, but they are not wealthy or influential people. On the contrary, they are low-income individuals. The ACA has a stipulation that if your income is too high for you to be covered by Medicaid but too low for you to afford health insurance – even with a government subsidy – you are exempt from the individual mandate. To make sure people in that category can still get healthcare coverage, President Obama has been pushing for Medicaid expansion, which many of the governors from YOUR party have been steadfastly refusing.
So can I have a conversation with you now? Doesn't matter, because I don't want to have one with you. In fact, you are hereby dismissed.

Yuzu attended Annul Awards Ceremony of JSF held in Tokyo today, 19th April.

I remembered there will be a TV broadcasting of JSF's Annul Awards Ceremony late night in Japan today or tomorrow, so I guess we could actually see Yuzu in TV, alive lol. Oh finally!
Yuzu explained his condition within one month, no skating at all as he's been having treatments and also required a rehabilitation training.
Furthermore, Yuzu hasn't been Waseda University till now, so actually it's confirmed officially he did not attend Waseda's Entrance Ceremony lol. One more thing, Yuzu hopes he could remember Waseda's school song ASAP lol.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A variety of special events will celebrate the 60th anniversary of Elvis Presley's first rock-and-roll recording in Memphis.
On July 5, 1954, a 19-year-old Presley walked into Sun Studio in Memphis and recorded a version of "That's All Right." Days later, the song was played repeatedly on WHBQ radio, and the career of the man known as the King of Rock and Roll was born.
Sun Studio will hold an event on July 5 that will include a cake-cutting and an exhibit tied to the recording's anniversary.

I can't believe how lame this blog is:
1) Buddy Bell has been ill
2) ALL kinds of call-ups, things to think about in the off-season
WHAT is going on?
Either update the thing or shut it down.
I have to agree, not exactly the "inside information" we were looking for huh??
I keep checking back for a new topic and the guy with the goofy baseball head keeps looking at me!
I really believe that this team has a P.R. problem, overall, and it is reflected in this blog. I can't believe that all the folks in the Royals front office are so involved in other things that they can't update this blog. They claim they listen to the fans, and have a desire to communicate.. well??
I don't recall Buddy Bell ever answering the questions, either!
How about some comments regarding next year?? What player positions is Dayton Moore going to try to fill with trades or free agents? Who is for sure staying? Who will probably NOT be here??
Oh well………….
Angel Berroa is staying for sure just to make sure we know how bad David Glass hates us! Where's Neifi Perez when we need him?
Sell the team Glass

|Dr. McClellan to begin practice next week
|Written by Chris Lee
Melissa Memorial Hospital (MMH) will welcome Dr. Danielle McClellan to its staff July 28.
McClellan moved to Holyoke this summer with her family after finishing her residency in Ft. Collins. McClellan joins the MMH staff as a Family Practice physician and also practices obstetrics.
Administrator John Ayoub said the hospital is looking forward to having Dr. McClellan on board. "She's very intelligent and is respected by her peers and her teachers," Ayoub said.
Ayoub also mentioned the fact McClellan will be living in town will be an asset to the hospital.
"We were still looking for the full-time, live in town physician, Ayoub said. "I'm very excited that she is here."
McClellan's first day will be Tuesday, July 28. She will be involved in orientation, then will begin seeing patients Monday, Aug. 3.
"I want to see a seamless integration into the organization," Ayoub said. "I want to set her up for success."
Growing up in Sawyerville, Mich., a small town between Lansing and Detroit, McClellan and her family moved to Beulah after she graduated from high school in 1996.
She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Colorado at Denver majoring in biology.
After taking a couple of years off, she decided to attend St. Louis University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo. to become an M.D.
After graduating from med school in 2006, McClellan began her residency in Ft. Collins where she said they specialized in training rural doctors.
The move to Holyoke was one McClellan said will enable her to use all of her skills. "We really like the community," McClellan said. "After meeting the staff (at MMH) I decided it was a good fit."
McClellan and her husband Steve have three children: Marlo, 10 months, Wesley, 3 and Savannah, 4.
McClellan said Steve is a stay-at- home dad for the time being but is a certified physical therapist. She also mentioned he has planted his garden equipped with a drip irrigation system.
Her hobbies include reading, spending time outdoors, biking, gardening and cooking.

Tipoff at 7 pm
Pop and Prins have been fighting injuries. (Prins was her shoulder. Missed what Pop's was.) Both will play, though.
No lineup gymnastics needed this season to get both seniors in the lineup.
Not much offense for either team. 11-10 ISU at 5:29. Pop is out with two fouls.
With Pop out fairly early in the half, Z has entered the rotation.
Keeping an eye on the women's game looks like 21-17 ISU at half.
Yep. ISU made a few buckets toward the end of the half, including a layup by HC with about 2 seconds left. I'd primarily be watching the women's game anyway, but living in the TV void of eastern Iowa I have no way to watch the men.
Some important stats:
Only 10 total fouls called in the half. Pop picked up her second about 10 minutes in. Dickey for KSU picked up her second with a few minutes left. She leads KSU with 11 points.
KSU has 10 turnovers, ISU 9.
Both teams shooting in the low 30s.
Ugly half. I'm happy we are up
Lyndsey is interviewing Bill (pretaped) at half on the Mediacom feed.
Q: Describe this season in one word.
A: (with a laugh) Long.
Originally Posted by HiltonMagic23

Both teams are probably happy to be in this game with as poor as they are both shooting. We are definitely fortunate to be up. The last couple minutes of the half looked better. We're a little sloppy out there, but a lot of the missed shots were shots we wanted to take.
Also of note: Cole got a breakaway layup early in the game, so both seniors have scored. That's never a given for Cole.
7 of ISU's 9 turnovers are KSU steals. Many of those were ill-advised passes combined with good defense. We are being too careless with the ball, especially against a team as good as KSU. KSU could say the same thing, although their poor passes are mainly just going out of bounds.
ISU suddenly remembered how to play offense, and we are now up 35-21. KSU forced to call a timeout.
On the minus side, Pop did pick up her 3rd foul, but it hasn't slowed us down.
KSU is being forced into some wild shots.

Let's keep the fingers crossed that the ladies don't disappear like they did against OSU.

Full-bodied coffee that you feel good about drinking, as it was grown in an earth-friendly manner. No cream necessary, as there is no bitterness (but I love a dash of sugar in mine to satisfy my sweet tooth!).

I enjoyed every drop of this coffee. It was just what I expected. I will purchase again and again.

Mister, can you spare a latté?
Economy | Small businesses of America are no small part of the U.S. economy, and on their survival may hang the country's financial comeback
SAN DIEGO and NEW YORK-When Think Coffee on Mercer Street in Manhattan opens at 7 a.m., there are usually people waiting outside to duck in and stake their claim. As the day wears on, freshmen and teachers, hipsters and nerds pack the place-buried in books, guzzling Fair Trade coffee, eating vegan brownies. Political art covers the walls. Eclectic coffeehouse furniture fills every nook where eclectic coffeehouse furniture will fit. Turn around, and your elbow will likely bump someone's psychology textbook. Or you'll fight a grad student for an outlet to plug in your laptop.
Jason Scherr hopes it will stay that way. With a stake in four New York concerns, Scherr is one of millions of small business owners keeping a wary eye on the U.S. economy: Stormy equities markets, spiraling energy costs, tightened lending, the mortgage crisis, and sluggish consumer spending have combined to sink some small businesses, while others have steamed ahead.
In the world of business, small is a relative term. The Small Business Administration (SBA) defines it as a firm with 500 or fewer employees. But when measured by sheer number of establishments, 90 percent of all U.S. businesses are the kind you see along Main Street-gift nooks and beauty parlors, watch repair shops and stores selling used books. They are typically retail and service establishments, "mom-and-pops" putting bread on the table for fewer than 20 workers.
"These are owner-operated businesses, where the owner is not chairman of the board, dealing with strategic issues, but actively engaged on a daily basis in all aspects of the business," said Allan Adams, state director for the Small Business Development Center at the University of Georgia in Athens. "These are people who often have their personal assets somewhat entwined in the business-their homes leveraged, for example-so that if the business goes under, so does much of their net worth."
Among such folks WORLD spoke with about the state of the economy, two words popped up again and again: caution and optimism.
Scherr, for example, is cautiously optimistic about the long-term viability of the three-dollar latté. He even theorizes that the flagging economy will boost business: "I think you can possibly get a lot for your three-dollar latté if you come here and hang out for 45 minutes or an hour," said Scherr, who owns a second Think Coffee location in East Village, as well as slices of a cheese shop and a café in a pricier part of Brooklyn. "It's actually fairly inexpensive entertainment."
Still, bitter economic trends have dripped down to his businesses. The surge in wheat prices sent up the price of baked goods 25 percent to 30 percent, he calculates. And all his suppliers have added fuel surcharges of $10 to $20 per delivery, which adds up for a merchant receiving six to seven deliveries a day.
"My margins shrunk and I was like, all right, I have to raise prices," Scherr said.
The credit crunch also hit Scherr when he attempted to expand his business last year. He signed the lease for Think Coffee three years ago and opened his doors six months later. But in 2007, while negotiating financing to open the location in East Village on Bleecker Street, the available loan size dwindled as the months wore on, cutting into his ability to capitalize and improve the new shop.
Stung by the mortgage crisis, stingy lenders have indeed tightened purse strings, even on loans guaranteed by the SBA. The agency's New York district office backed $622 million in loans in fiscal year 2007, but only $560 million in fiscal year 2008, which ended Sept. 30.
Out west, the San Diego district office saw a sharp drop in the total number of loans, from 1,702 last year to 1,026 in 2008. "We had been on a steady year over year increase since 2005," said district director Ruben Garcia. "To see it drop off so dramatically, I think our numbers are beginning to reflect what's happening in the economy."
The 40 percent slide in San Diego was greater than the lending drop-off in SBA Region IX, which includes all of California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, and Guam.
Larger banks tightened restrictions more than smaller ones, such as community institutions that were not exposed to the mortgage crisis. But Michael J. Pappas, SBA Region II director, said tight-fisted lenders may not account for all such declines. In some instances, small business owners may simply be choosing not to seek a loan: "It could be the questions in their own mind and the uncertainty of the future. It could be that they're not certain whether the product they produce or the service they provide will be in the same degree of demand."
To get commercial money flowing again, regulators are seeking ways to loosen lending. In an emergency move on Oct. 8, the Federal Reserve cut a key interest rate by half a percent. The institution is also considering extending business loans to mom-and-pops, and not just large corporations. Still, banks are operating cautiously: By Oct. 14, the gap between the rate of interbank lending and the rate of banks' buying U.S. government debt remained near a 25-year high, a sign banks are minimizing risk in their own portfolios.
In Georgia, risk-chopping lenders put at least one business under, said SBDC's Allan Adams. In August, the owner of a small gift shop outside Atlanta told Adams her bank, without warning, called due a $150,000 credit line, forcing her to liquidate her store in order to pay the debt.
"I had never missed a payment," she said.
In September, an SBDC director called Allan and said, "I've got a guy sitting here with a 750 credit score and he can't get a loan."
Credit strictures, Allan said, are often particularly difficult for mom-and-pops. Small concerns often depend heavily on a steady cash-flow cycle: Sell goods, cover overhead, buy inventory, sell more goods. Such firms often use credit lines to cover costs when business is slow or receivables go past due.
"Right now, businesses without deep cash reserves don't want to have a whole lot of receivables," Adams said. "If buyers keep extending the time they take to pay and merchants have to keep using credit to bridge that gap, they can find themselves in real trouble."
Credit trouble hasn't migrated to William Sharer's doorstep in Farmington, N.M., a sandy, scrubby small town in San Juan County. Sharer, a New Mexico state senator, owns the Credit Bureau of Farmington. He and his 17 employees sell credit reports to both businesses and individuals and also collect bad debts, mostly for medical facilities and utility companies.
Sharer is optimistic about the economy: "It is certainly possible that because I don't watch television, I don't know that the world is about to die," he said. "But it could also be that San Juan County's economy is strong while the rest of the world is f-alling apart. But certainly here, things are moving along."
Sharer said the economic downturn hasn't affected his bill-collecting so far. When gas was $4 a gallon, he felt the pinch, but now collections have stabilized again.
Chattanooga printing company proprietor John Dawson says his business is down-but still up. The 49-year-old father of six owns Diversified Companies, a printing, direct-mail, and marketing firm. He opened in 1992 as a mom-and-pop, with one employee who worked 12 to 16 hours a day. Year to year, Dawson said, his business grew 25 percent to 45 percent. But between 2007 and 2008, Diversified's balance sheet grew by just 20 percent- down, but still up.
What does he make of his double-digit growth in lean times?
"The Lord has really blessed us," he said. While printing orders from his biggest client, General Electric, dropped 40 percent, orders for marketing, promotional items (such as custom hats and T-shirts), and digital printing increased.
Still, from his facility in an industrial section of the city off Highway 153, Dawson keeps a close eye on Wall Street. In early October, the Dow Jones Industrial Average seesawed and news anchors tossed around the word crash. "That was a scary week," Dawson said. "If the market crashed, how many people would I have to send home? It hurts when you have people you employ whose families depend on you and you have to say, 'We just don't have the work for you.'"
Dawson's 40 employees are safe for now. But uncertain economic times have Diversified on full alert, Dawson said. Fuel costs have spiked 80 percent since 2006 and the rising price of paper, Diversified's largest manufacturing cost, has socked Dawson six different times over the past two years.
SBA research shows that energy costs hit small businesses harder than larger ones because they don't by on a large scale or have as much to invest in new technologies. Electricity prices are up to 30 percent higher for small businesses. And while energy costs are only a small percentage of a larger business' expenses, small businesses spend more on energy per dollar of sales-more than twice as much in the food sector, for example.
Accumulated overhead increases are forcing Dawson to approach maintenance and expansion differently. "We're scrutinizing every purchase," he said. "Where in the past we might have gone out and bought a new delivery vehicle to replace an aging one, now we're more likely to try to maintain the ones we have. And if a certain area of our business grows, we won't necessarily go out and hire a new employee."
In some regions, such trends are beginning to show up in employment numbers. In San Diego County, for example, employment declined in four of the six months measured between February and July, with year over year drops in each of the last three months, according to figures released by county researchers and the Chamber of Commerce.
For the past several months, Jack Johnson's job was on the bubble. The silver-haired, "semi-retired" barber works five days a week at Dominic's 2nd Street Barber Shop in El Cajon, Calif. It's a stepping-stone gig until he can cut back to three days and spend more time on his true calling as a "luthier," building stringed musical instruments.
Dominic's itself, a three-chair establishment that opened in 1963, is a manly affair. Marching high across one wall, dozens of law enforcement uniform patches: U.S. Border Patrol, California Highway Patrol, Burbank Police, and the like. Under that, a row of framed 8-by-10s, all of NASCAR champion driver Jimmie Johnson, who used to get his hair cut here before he made it big and moved away.
Shop owner Dominic Roccoforte had himself been looking to move away for over a year. Business had slowed, especially walk-in traffic, and Roccoforte, 41, had been looking to sell.
"Plenty of people wanted to buy the shop," said Johnson, 61, who calls himself "an old Michigan farm boy" and plies his trade wearing blue jeans, cowboy boots, and a leather vest. "But the new owners of the mall wanted to raise the rent from $600 a month to $1,240."
Johnson lifts his clippers from a customer's beard and levels a gesture of incredulity at the perimeter of the tiny shop. "With what little space we have, that equates to $5.22 per square foot!"
A king's ransom in a mall in need of a facelift, and an amount that torpedoed every deal to sell the shop Roccoforte tried to make. Adding to his troubles: Business sales in California have plummeted in 2008, according to data compiled by county recorders. During the first nine months of the year, 16,342 firms sold, a decline of 19 percent from 2007. In September, the month that marked the Lehman Brothers collapse and federal bailouts of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and insurer AIG, the news was even worse: 39 percent fewer businesses changed hands than in the same month last year.
All that news combined to force Roccoforte to drop his asking price to $8,500-$5,500 less than what he paid for the business two years ago. But on Oct. 14, just when he was losing hope, he found a taker: another retired barber who wanted to own a shop, but not run it. The buyer not only agreed to the new leasing terms, but threw in an extra $1,600 to sweeten the deal.
Which is good news for Jack Johnson. "I've been hanging in here for months waiting to find out whether I'd still have a job," he says, whisking his customer's shoulders with a brush made of Arabian horse hair (the same thing used to make violin bows, he confides).
And there's more good news: While people had grown a little more frugal and were waiting longer between trims, Johnson sees that trend reversing. "I think we've bottomed out in this area," he said. "I'm starting to get more walk-ins again. I think we're stabilizing, starting to bounce back."

I was just wondering: When you've contracted a midwife to be your primary provider, does anyone also shadow their care with OB pre-natal appointments? If you've done this, was it helpful? And if not, what made you decide not to?

Dordogne Berry Limousin : Michelin's recommendations
If ''the heartland of France'' is what you're looking for, try a trip through these three regions that are right next to each other and yet so different!
Why not go from north to south, starting with the Berry? Bourges, its capital, is a medieval city of great beauty that was the home of King Charles VII while he attempted to recapture his kingdom with the help of Joan of Arc. The city boasts a cathedral on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the construction of which began in 1195 and was completed in 1354. The Berry countryside, immortalised by George Sand, is famous for its Sancerre white wine that pairs beautifully with the region's goat cheese.
After exploring La Brenne, a legendary land full of untamed landscapes, you reach the Limousin, a region that produced several popes in the 14C. The area's many attractions include its well-preserved natural beauty, Gallo-Roman remains, fortified villages and its steam train, as well as decorative arts including the famous Aubusson tapestries. Limoges remains the capital of porcelain.
Highlighting the end of your adventure, the Dordogne is a majestic river made for canoeing and kayaking, with cliffs, prehistoric caves and hilltop castles. The Dordogne is also an enchanting land where you can enjoy foie gras, black truffles and walnut cake! Rocamadour, an important place for Christianity in the Middle Ages, is an extraordinary site sitting on a rocky outcrop.

Has your love life gone from "Va Va Voom" to "Zzzzz" with a little bit of Ho Hum" thrown in there? Join the crowd. As a nation, we're exhausted. Between long hours at the office, household chores, and screaming babies, many of us have put sex on the back burner. And, while this is totally natural, it's necessary to make the time and effort to get it on the front burner and crank that baby up to high. Have you been looking for ways to surprise your lover and spice things up in the boudoir? We've got ten tips that we think you'll love below:
1. Special delivery! Send him a pair of your undies and, no, not those comfy grandma panties, either. I had a girlfriend who sent one of her sexy thongs to her husband at the office and, needless to say, it had the intended effect.
2. Boudoir photo shoot. I was a bit intimidated by the thought of this at first, but I have friends that say it's worth its weight in gold. Remember, ladies, you don't have to look like a magazine centerfold to rev your guy's engine either. Men, as a whole, are easy to please. And there's always Photoshop!
3. Show that you care. Below their tough exteriors, many men are sensitive and insecure. Recently, my husband and I were in a fight, so I went out with all of our friends without him. Once I got to the restaurant, I didn't feel right about it, so I texted him that he should drop the kids off at the babysitter's house and join us. He was so touched that I went the extra mile that I got a little treat in the bedroom later (details kept under lock and key).
4. Rent a sexy movie. I know, I know — just the thought makes many of us women feel embarrassed. The thing is, this is foolproof. Men are visual beings. 'Nuff said.
5. Do a 180 in the bedroom. No, I'm not talking like some sort of contorted position from the Kama Sutra. I'm saying change things up. Things are probably pretty good just the way they are but throw that guy a curveball and you'll hit a home run.
6. Dress up your lady parts. Don't laugh! It's the new thing and, although many of us might shun the thought at this at first, your guy will go nuts if he pulls down those panties and you've vajazzled. You may have a giggle or two at first but I guarantee things will get down to business shortly thereafter.
7. Give sexting a try. Much like the underpants in the mail trick, this will allow the anticipation to build. He may blame you for lack of productivity at work but you'll reap the benefits in the bedroom.
8. Give him a hall pass. Don't wait until you're asked. Suggest that he take a night out with the guys and/or a day of golf. He'll think you're Mother Teresa (but won't treat you like her if you get my drift).
9. Set the mood. We see this in the movies but how often do we do this in real life? Flowers, champagne, strawberries, chocolate, mood lighting, and soft music come to mind!
10. Cook him a fancy dinner. You likely did this a lot while you were dating but many times, after we've been married or at least monogamous for a while, we tend to let it fall by the wayside. Go all out by preparing all his favorites, as we all know the way to a man's heart (and other body parts) is through his tummy.

Looks pretty sharp to me . I'll be keeping an eye on how this progresses.
Finally I got enough courage to start mapping a city. I started the project from the area I'm more familiar with - the landscape. I created a new way to do the water and I wanted to have a steep coastline and clear water to see through. I finally managed to get a decent result.
But then I realized that the scale didnt fit with the building I had created and the buildings looked way to smal. So I have to downsize the image to half and do all the texturing again, sigh... Thats what you get when you dont think before you do.
P.S this sample is before I have done any resizing.
Looks pretty sharp to me . I'll be keeping an eye on how this progresses.
"Aye The skies be clear , the seas be calm and the winds be with us .....
ARGH!! but the damn compass be broken!! "
Capt. Noah Swalter Last voyage of the " Silver Crest"
You are right, the sea should be darker. I have now fixed it and I think it's better now. I have downsized the map to half to match better with my houses and I also reduced all textures to 50% from the original except the sea texture as I didn't want the waves to be any smaller. Tomorrow I will get to start with setting up the houses...
I have started creating the actual city. I have not got too far yet, but something.
Brilliant. Repped.
I love how it's shaping up. It's like a satellite image but with a real unique style to it as well. Eager to see it finished.
Do you have a tutorial or anything for the methods you use to make this style map? I really like how the buildings are looking.
- I have several roof textures and set of objects (chimneys etc).
- I created several differently shaped roofs and added the various objects.
- Use Bevel to the roofs and dropshadow to the objects to make them look more 3D
- Put several houses together to create small blocks
- Group your block (or single house) to one object
- Then I reduce the size to hide the fact that the roofs and the objects doesn't blend too well together. When they are reduced like 1/10 of the original size, you don't see the problems anymore.
- Apply bevel and drop shadow again to make them pop out.
The problem is that it takes time to create enough variation and rotating the ready houses / blocks is an issue as I would get the shadow direction wrong. Also the shadowing is not perfect due to the way dropshadow works. That can be seen especially where the tower shadows are cast over the city wall.
Although the creation of the houses takes much time, the result is worth it. It looks fantastic so far.
Really like the style of the map and how this is evolving.
One question is the city gate to the north. It seems like if I did not want to pay the toll/sneak in etc I would just walk around to approach the town from the east or south.
Or am I misunderstanding the topography of that area?
We do not stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.

Greensboro, NC -- The Greensboro Coliseum will host the Dallas Mavericks vs. Charlotte Bobcats in NBA preseason action Saturday, October 19 at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets will go on sale Friday, July 26 at 10:00 a.m.
The Charlotte Bobcats are led by third-year guard Kemba Walker who topped the team in scoring (17.7 ppg), assists (5.7 apg) and steals (2.0 spg) during the 2012-13 NBA campaign. Last season, Walker also set the franchise single-season record for steals with 160.
The Bobcats tallied 21 victories last season becoming the first team in NBA history to triple its win total from the prior season. In an effort to build upon the improvement from last year, Charlotte added additional talent to its roster this offseason.
The team made a splash in free agency by signing unrestricted free agent center Al Jefferson, who led Utah in scoring and rebounding last year. Jefferson, one of the most consistent players in the NBA, is one of only two players in the league to average at least 17.0 ppg and 9.0 rpg in each of the last six seasons.
With the fourth overall selection in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Bobcats selected Indiana All-American forward Cody Zeller. Zeller topped the Hoosiers in scoring (16.5 ppg) and rebounding (8.1), and ended his two-year career as the school's all-time leader in field goal percentage (59.1%).
The Bobcats roster also features young talent such as Bismack Biyombo, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Jeffery Taylor. Steve Clifford, a long-time NBA assistant coach, was hired in the offseason as the new head coach of the Bobcats.
The Mavericks are led by forward Dirk Nowitzki, a four-time All-NBA first team selection, an 11-time NBA All-Star, and the leading scorer in Mavericks franchise history. The Mavericks' 2013-14 roster also includes three former University of North Carolina Tar Heels - guards Vince Carter and Wayne Ellington and center/forward Brandan Wright.
The October 19th game will mark the Bobcats third ever preseason game in Greensboro and first since 2009.
EVENT: NBA Preseason Game - Dallas Mavericks vs. Charlotte Bobcats
DATE: Saturday, October 19
TIME: 7:30 p.m.
VENUE: Greensboro Coliseum
TICKETS ON SALE: Friday, July 26 at 10 a.m.
TICKET PRICES: $10 and up. Family Four Packs - 4 tickets, 4 hot dogs,

WOODSFIELD - A new era in basketball begins this season in Woodsfield.
The Monroe Central Seminoles will take to the court in their own gymnasium for the first time, having finally moved into their new school facility complete with a new gymnasium. No more home away from home for these Seminoles.
The home opener against Pioneer Valley Conference rival Caldwell also marks the begininng of the ''Scooter'' era in Woodsfield.
Longtime Beallsville luminary Lou ''Scooter'' Tolzda accepted the head coaching position last offseason vacated by Greg Taylor and is bringing his brand of basketball to the county seat.
Tolzda's teams have always played at a fast pace on both ends of the court. While it's been an adjustment, the coach beleives it's one his players have taken a liking to and have been working feverishly to transition into.
''We are changing things a bit. We want to change the way the game's been played, but pressure on the ball and get out and run with it," Tolzda said. "We're still learning how to do that at both ends but we have some good athletes.''
Unfortunately, much like his football counterpart Jay Circosta, Tolza will be pushing forward without the services of one of his more experienced and skilled players.
Curtis Nixon, who suffered an ACL injury during the football preseason is still recovering and doesn't appear he'll be back for his junior basketball campaign.
''Curtis, that's a bullet in the side from the beginning,'' Tolzda said. ''I watched him in the summer and you could tell he was going to have a good season.
''I feel bad for him because he put his heart into it.''
While Nixon's athleticism will be missed, he's not the only weapon Tolzda was depending on in his arsenal.
Leading the way is a solid group of five seniors with a talented sophomore class chomping at the bit to make a major varsity contribution after finishing 17-1 a season ago on the freshmen circuit.
Two expected to pick up the scoring slack are 5-foot-9 guard Cameron Jorris and 5-10 guard Korey Lafferre. Jorris has displayed a quick release and range from the perimeter during the preaseason while Lafferre, the football team's athletic quarterback, has a penchant for driving the paint and making good things happen.
"Korey has played for two years. He's kind of deceptive ... not real big, but has great jumping ability and we believe Cameron will be a serious 3-point threat," Tolzda said.
Seniors Kordell Antill (6-0), Camden Hill (5-10) and Josh Guiler (6-2) will provide Tolza some size and muscle in the paint.
The lone underclassmen on the starting roster is a major addition to the lineup in point guard Levi Brown, all 5-4 of him.
Juniors Bryan Duffy (5-11), Jake Schuerman (6-0), Aaron Yontz (6-3) and Chandler Kuhn (6-2) will all battle for quality varsity minutes.
Sophomore Zach Jorris (5-9) is also being looked at to contribute.
Tolzda will be assisted by Scott Jorris and John Perkins.

I've been thinking of a flower covered shade for years now. I haven't felt I had the time to devote to it start-to-finish and, since I've never seen one in person I didn't know how good they could really turn out. Yours looks great. I like that you put it on a floor lamp, it helps keep the shade from overwhelming the rest of it.

Comments about SKLZ® 5-Position Brush Tee:
I use this to practice my swing for softball. while the base is quite sturdy, the brush loses so many bristles in normal use that it's almost useless.
also, the base absolutely stinks (and I mean it smells) if you leave it in your car on a hot day, the car will smell for days.
Other than that, it's fine :)
Not recommended
Comments about SKLZ® 5-Position Brush Tee:
I was afraid to pitch to my son because the ball would come right at me after he hit it. Now I just field the ball for him. Much safer for me and he loves it!
Sturdy tee. Adjustable. Just what we wanted.

Comments about SKLZ® 5-Position Brush Tee:
The top which holds the bristles cracked at my second practice. Junk.
Comments about SKLZ® 5-Position Brush Tee:
Purchased for my 7 year old daughter. Took it to practice and about 50 swings it broke. The piece holding the Brussels to the tee broke off. Poor construction. with cheap plastic and a bolt.
Best Uses
Comments about SKLZ® 5-Position Brush Tee:
I purchased the brush tee based on good reviews and recommendations. Very disappointed in the product. First day we used the product, it broke. The bristles started falling off shortly after we started hitting and by the end of the lesson, the actual piece holding the bristles broke in half. Returned it to store next day and will not purchase another brush tee again...
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Comments about SKLZ® 5-Position Brush Tee:
I need practice in a consistent swing. I tend to under-hit the ball and it was irritating when the tee would fall over with the normal rubber tee. Plus they would split. I went through four of them in 3 months. One split after 8 hits. With this tee the base is heavier and with the brush base for the ball I have yet to even cause the base to tilt.

Police say a registered sex offender harassed women in two stores when he made sexual comments and showed them pictures of his genitals.
According to arrest warrants, Marcus Anthony Carter approached two women Friday as they shopped at Lowe�s Foods, 401 Cox Road, Gastonia, and Target, 425 Cox Road, according to arrest warrants.
Carter took pictures of his private parts on his cell phone and showed them to the women.
He was charged with two counts of preparing obscene photos and a probation violation, all misdemeanors.
According to the N.C. Sex Offender Registry website, Carter took indecent liberties with a child in Alexander County in 2004. He was convicted in 2009 and initially sentenced to probation but violated and spent time in prison until June of 2012, according to the N.C. Department of Correction website.
That conviction marked Carter�s second recorded sex-based crime in North Carolina.
Carter was sentenced to two years in prison in 1996 on convictions of assault on a female and second-degree attempted sex offense. The crimes happened in Gaston County in June 1995, according to the N.C. Department of Correction website.
For his previous offense, Carter has been sentenced to lifetime on the Sex Offender Registry. Such designation restricts Carter�s access to children and requires him to keep the local sheriff�s office aware of his address.
Carter remained in Gaston County Jail Sunday night on a $25,000 secured bond.

I think he could get Dan as his DC.... i really would like to get a guy with head coach experience (i dont count charlies time as interim coach haha) but i think if we go the coordinator route he would be my number one choice. great recruiter and a brilliant defensive mind
Edit: just looked at the recruiting targets Mac has been after... of four targets, 3 of them are 4*'s and he has landed those three(a OL, DE, and DT)... also recruiting a 3*. just cool to see dan succeeding a lot

Seems like he's had a part in coaching almost everything you can with a team...can't hurt that's for sure
i really like him as well .... now with gill out of the picture id like either graham or strong to get the job ..... only time will tell but i'm hoping jamie can get one of these two ...
Winners' Never Quit and Quitters' Never Win
And coaching under Urban Meyer can't hurt. That guy knows how to coach.
The flowers bloom eternal. We will find our way back soon. We just had a near death Bill Callahan experience for two years. Look how fast Nebraska recovered.
How do we know he isn't just Chizik 2.0? D-Coordinator of a national championship caliber SEC team. I don't know, the resume speaks for itself, and he's definitely an up and comer, but it's hard to believe he won't be gone in a couple years, too. If we knew he wouldn't leave for at least 5 years, I would be fine with it, it just seems like we're setting ourselves up to be burned again.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.

true dat! ... even thought i think meyer is arrogant as **** i have to have respect for someone who has a track record for wins as much as he does ...
Here is his official bio... Everywhere he has been he has succeeded...
University of Florida Athletics ***GatorZone.com***
some of my favorites...
- In 1996, helped a Notre Dame defense that ranked 11th in total defense at 270.0 yards per game.
- Notre Dame set a school record for sacks with 41.5 in 1997.
- In 2000, his defensive unit was ranked 16th in total defense after giving up an average of 308.09 yards per game. The corps ranked sixth nationally and first in the SEC in scoring defense, averaging 15.8 points a game, and ranked 24th in passing defense and 28th in rushing defense by allowing 193 and 115.1 yards per game, respectively.
- In 1999, the Gamecocks ranked 20th in total defense giving way to an average of only 307.7 yards per game.
- In 2001, coached a Gamecocks defense that helped the USC football team finish the year ranked in the national poll for the entire season. Also contributed to the 2001 Gamecocks finishing 13th in the final AP poll, giving USC it's first nationally ranked back-to-back seasons in the program's history. The 2001 team also was the first in school history to win nine games in a season.
-Instilled an aggressive, attacking scheme at Florida that forced 31 turnovers, which was tops in the SEC and ninth-best nationally in 2005. The unit also recorded 33 sacks, the 25th best total nationally and most at UF since 1999. UF's 337 yards on tackles for loss in 2005 was the best in school history since records were kept in 1983.
- Named one of the nation's top 25 best recruiters by Rivals.com for his part in the 2007 signing class that was ranked No. 1 by most outlets.

Thing is, he isn't an up and comer, he has been there and done that for a long time...
Would seem to be qualified, I would give him a shot. No chance that Dan would follow though
UF has scored points off turnovers in 28 of the 37 games he has been the defensive coordinator.
UF has intercepted 53 passes in his three years as defensive coordinator, the fifth highest total in the nation during the last three years
Co-Defensive Coordinator for a Florida unit that improved in 14 statistical categories in 2005. Florida ranked ninth in the nation in total defense (299.8 ypg.) and 10th nationally in rushing defense (94.9 ypg.).
Instilled an aggressive, attacking scheme at Florida that forced 31 turnovers, tops in the SEC and ninth-best nationally and recorded 33 sacks - the 25th best total nationally and best at UF since 1999. UF's 337 yards on tackles for loss in 2005 was the best in school history since records were kept in 1983.
Florida's 31 turnovers resulted in 114 points or 34.3 percent of all UF's points - tops in the SEC. UF was third in the SEC in three and outs (35.3 percent of all opponent possessions).
I just jumped on the Charlie Strong bandwagon as well. If we can't get an experienced HC like Patterson, then I would be excited about getting Strong.

Column: Kobe's legacy on the line with guarantee
If the guarantee was somewhat shocking, it's only because the Los Angeles Lakers have been shockingly bad.
That's hardly Kobe Bryant's fault, though as usual he's the one charged with fixing the mess. He has to, because his coach can't seem to figure it out, and neither can the stars brought in to help him win a sixth ring.
Feel free to file this in the category of desperate men doing desperate things. But everything else has failed for the Lakers in a season like no other, so forgive Bryant for trying to make one last stand.
"It's not a question of if we make the playoffs," he told Sports Illustrated earlier this week. "We will."
Lakers fans surely hope so, even if this was hardly the scenario they envisioned when the season began. After luring Dwight Howard and Steve Nash to Los Angeles in the offseason, the Lakers figured to be fighting for the top seed in the West, not scrambling after the last one.
But scramble they must, and even a guarantee from one of the greatest players in NBA history may not be enough.
It used to be that however Bryant went, so went the Lakers. But while Bryant is arguably playing some of his best ball in years, his team is so dysfunctional that some of the brightest minds in basketball - Kobe included - seem bewildered about it all.
The scorer became a facilitator and it worked for a while, with Bryant dishing out assists by the handful. But that was the job the Lakers brought in Nash to do, and if he's not doing it he's just an undersized 39-year-old defensive liability who has no business playing guard in the NBA.
Nash was supposed to be one of the missing links for the Lakers, a point guard who would make sure Bryant and Howard got the ball early and often. But he seems lost in an offense he should be thriving in under Mike D'Antoni, his coach during his best seasons in Phoenix.
So does Howard, who has struggled all season to adapt to the pick and roll, one of the most basic plays in basketball. Only in the last few games have he and Nash seemed to be coming closer to an understanding about how it should be executed and the reasons why.
Meanwhile, Bryant and Howard seem to be closer to an understanding of their own. For Howard that means playing harder and trying to get more involved in the offense. For Bryant, it means offering some positive praise instead of the type of veiled criticism he leveled when he suggested recently Howard needed to worry less about his injured shoulder and get more of a sense of urgency in his game.
If the Lakers are confused, their fans are too. They've watched as the team switched coaches, changed offenses, and played defense with a lack of intensity that can be felt from up in the rafters at Staples Center. Their owner, Jerry Buss, died this week, further clouding the identity and future of the team he made so wildly successful.
On Friday night the puzzle continued at home, before the usual glittery array of Hollywood types. Bryant returned to the role of shooter and scored 40 points, and Howard had 19 and 16 rebounds. But Nash struggled again and the Lakers needed four Bryant free throws in the last 13 seconds to beat the Portland Trail Blazers, a team that had lost six in a row coming in.
"We're getting there," Howard said. "You could see the effort and emotion that we have on the court."

It appears that Burger King's Twitter account has been hacked.
Starting just after noon Eastern time on Monday, the fast-food company's Twitter picture was changed to a McDonald's logo, and the account tweeted that it had been sold to rival McDonald's.
In the past hour, some posts from the account have contained racial epithets, references to drug use and obscenities. The account has also tweeted: "if I catch you at a wendys, we're fightin!"
Burger King Worldwide Inc., which is based in Miami, did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
