Rockford police have charged two Auburn High students with mob action, and battery for taking part in what they called, "freshman beat-up day." But is it a serious problem, or just high school hazing?
Terence Gatlin and Marcus McCullough told police they held and punched a 15-year-old student in the hallway of Auburn High School on Wednesday because it was freshmen beat-up day. Fights at school are nothing new, and some say neither is freshman beat-up day.
"I've heard about freshmen beat-up day from my kids," says parent Karen Marshall.
"It's generally either the first day of school of the last day of school," comments junior Joe McCoy.
Freshmen beat-up day, fact or folklore? School officials, students and parents have all heard of it, and many are even afraid.
"My daughter was afraid to get on the bus because she thought she'd get beat-up," says Marshall.
Many say fear is exactly the goal of freshman beat-up day and it rarely ends in violence.
"It's more just a joke," says McCoy.
"It's the first time I've seen freshman beat-up day end in violence. Usually I hear it's freshman beat-up day and I just talk to the class about how stupid that is," says Special Ed teacher Jennifer Macek.
Macek works with students who have trouble with anger management. She says the school takes violence and hazing very seriously.
"Yeah we've got a great team here to deal with those situations and it happens quickly and appropriately and I think they take it very seriously," adds Macek.
The students arrested Wednesday have been released on a $1,000 bond and were suspended from school.

Greenbrier falls off AAA's top-rated list
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- AAA on Friday released its annual Five Diamond Award list, denoting the top hotels in the United States -- and for the first time in 36 years, The Greenbrier isn't on it. The resort in White Sulphur Springs, despite spending $300 million to improve its appearance, received four diamonds. In a prepared statement sent to the Gazette-Mail, Greenbrier President Jeff Kmiec said the resort learned last year that it "would be rated four diamonds in 2013 primarily as a result of our standard rooms -- bedrooms and bathrooms -- being too small to meet the current criteria for five diamond hotels." Kmiec said the rooms in question represent "less than 10 percent" of the resort's 710 guest rooms. "We made it clear to AAA from the start that we were unwilling and unable to alter the size of these rooms to meet the current standards," Kmiec said in the statement. "We simply cannot alter the footprint of the hotel in order to meet the new standard. We cannot destroy hundreds of years of legacy and history for larger bathrooms." Kmiec quoted The Greenbrier resort owner Jim Justice, "That's like asking to change the face of Mount Rushmore; we won't do it." Kmiec said The Greenbrier did try to raise its standards. The resort has spent $300 million on renovations and additions, he said. "We attempted to appease AAA by updating the interiors of these rooms. The rooms look absolutely beautiful," Kmeic wrote. He credited the resort's interior designer, Carleton Varney, "talented craftspeople," including the plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, painters, carpenters, upholstery and housekeeping teams for the updated look. AAA appreciated the room upgrades and additions to the resort but "they were unwilling to give us exemption concerning the size of the standard rooms" and "declined our appeals," Kmiec said. He said The Greenbrier resort "looks forward to revisiting this issue with AAA for next year and continuing the legacy of being America's resort." The Mobil Travel Guide removed the Greenbrier's five-star rating in 2000. The guide is now known as the Forbes Travel Guide. The ratings are based on unannounced on-site property evaluations by AAA inspectors. AAA spokeswoman Heather Hunter told The Associated Press that AAA doesn't discuss individual ratings or property inspections. "The Greenbrier is one of the nation's most historic and notable hotels," Hunter said, "and we are proud to have it as AAA Approved and Four Diamond Rated hotel." AAA awards five diamonds to properties that provide meticulous service, exceed guest expectations and maintain standards of excellence. Hunter defined four-diamond hotels as being "refined and stylish with upscale physical attributes, extensive amenities and a high degree of hospitality, service and attention to detail." Joining The Greenbrier resort on the four-diamond hotel list in West Virginia is Stonewall Resort in Lewis County and the Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown. The Broadmoor hotel in Colorado Springs, Colo., is the only hotel in the nation to earn AAA's Five Diamond Award every year since the rating system's inception in 1976. The Greenbrier and JW Marriott Camelback Inn Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Ariz., enjoyed that status until this year. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Re: The New York Times would rather cover a Breuer chair than...
Visuals with Search Query + Nul Set Results -- fantastic device for showing non-occurrences in media coverage, including in this rather astonishing instance.
A blog (from "web blog") is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed newest first. All Corrente posts are front-paged; there is no up-rate or down-rate process. Corrente posts are almost entirely community moderated. We encourage a clash of ideas, and do not encourage a clash of persons.
If you are the author of this post, see the Edit tab ad Help (and Advanced Help) for detailed documentation.
Literally! And just like the rest of 'em. Which we'll get to. For now, what I want to know is, When is the remarkably unprosecutorial prosecutor Lanny Breuer actually going to start spending more time with his family? Because here he is explaining how Third World-style elite impunity really works in his PBS interview from "The Untouchables":
These sources said that at the weekly indictment approval meetings that there was no case ever mentioned that was even close to indicting Wall Street for financial crimes. [See Professor William R. Black, who successfully prosecuted thousands of bankster executives in the S&L crisis*]
If you look at what we and the U.S. attorney community did, I think you have to take a step back. Over the last couple of years, we have convicted Raj Rajaratnam, one of the largest hedge fund leaders. Now, you'll say that's an insider trading case, but it's clearly going after Wall Street.
But it has nothing to do with the financial crisis, the meltdown, the packaging of bad mortgages that led to the collapse that led to the recession.
[BREUER] First of all, I think that the financial crisis is multifaceted. But even within that, all we can do is look hard at this multifaceted, multipronged problem. And what we've had is a multipronged, multifaceted response.
Yeah, multi-pronged. I like that. Jamie and Michael still "doing God's work" on the streets? Yeah? How about Lloyd? Anyhow...
So, one day after the "The Untouchables" airs, we find our Lanny on the windowsill. But he hasn't actually jumped (or been pushed (by whom?)):
Lanny A. Breuer is leaving the Justice Department after leading the agency's [succesful, yes? No?] efforts to clamp down on public corruption and financial fraud [snort] [/snort]at the nation's largest banks, according to several people familiar with the matter.
It is not clear when Breuer intends to leave his post, nor what he plans to do once he departs [besides making a shit ton of money from the banksters he didn't prosecute], but it is certain that the prosecutor's days in office are winding down, according to people who were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
Frankly, this story seems a little bit muffled to me. Oddly, or not, there's not of lot of coverage of Lanny's strangely protracted defenestration in our famously free press (as opposed to the blogs; NC, emptywheel, FDL, Kos).
So, after that initial story in Pravda, let's see who follows up:*
1. The Times (last story January 20):
2. Bloomberg (January 17):
3. Reuters (January 2):
4. Financial Times (January 3):
5. Chicago Sun Times (in case Valerie leaked anything to Lynn, but nothing):
6. Politico (2012):
7. Politico's Manhattan office (2012):
8. Ya know, if I didn't know better, I'd say there's some kinda, oh, news blackout on this. Because here's WaPo's follow-up: "An assistant AG heads for the door." They can't even name the guy:
From today's story in Al Kamen's "In The Loop" (i.e., only, totally only of interest to Beltway Insiders so go away, go away):
DOJ moves — As expected, Lanny Breuer, head of the criminal justice division at the Department of Justice, is leaving the agency after a tenure marked by the "Fast and Furious" gunwalking controversy.
So, this is a personnel matter -- I'll just set up the lines of defense, here -- about ("Fast and Furious" (crazy Republicans (Eric Holder (not Obama (above all not corruption)))).
Move along people, move along. There's no story here!*** And stop snickering and saying "multi-pronged," wouldja?
NOTE * Of course, that was during the Reagan era, when we had the rule of law.
NOTE ** BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!! I crack myself up.
NOTE *** Man, we used to use that line all the time with the Bush administration, back in the day. Good times....
General Anti-Corruption
Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, the controversial head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, is said to be preparing to step down. More here and here. (Washington Post, FCPA Blog, Firedoglake)
10. From the FCPA Blog ("The World's Biggest Anti-Corruption Compliance Portal")
Breuer will probably be best remembered by the compliance community for last year's release of the much anticipated DOJ-SEC Guidance. In a foreword to the 120-page Guidance, Breuer and then-SEC enforcement chief Robert Khuzami called it 'an unprecedented undertaking by DOJ and SEC to provide the public with detailed information about our FCPA enforcement approach and priorities.'
Publication of the Guidance followed several years of intense criticism from business groups and politicians who said the FCPA was unclear and the DOJ's enforcement of it unfair. ...
Breuer targeted more individuals for prosecution under the FCPA. That initiative led to the botched Africa sting prosecution. Our review of the biggest stories of 2012 said, 'Twenty-two defendants, two hung juries, three acquittals, zero convictions, and the eventual dismissal of all the indictments. The DOJ's biggest FCPA flop ever was an over-hyped prosecution that always smelled like entrapment and never should have been brought in the first place.'
Despite the setback, Breuer remained a strong champion of the FCPA and the global fight against graft. A few months ago, he said that since he took over the criminal division in 2009, the number of prosecutors working on FCPA cases had doubled.
He called anti-corruption enforcement one of the DOJ's 'signature achievements.' The United States, he said, is in a unique position to spread 'the gospel of anti-corruption' because of its enforcement record.

Article: WOMEN OF INFLUENCE
Influence comes in many forms, from high-profile advocates who are shaping ideas on an international stage to local heroes who are breaking barriers and defying expectations in their own communities. In our inaugural series celebrating influential Asian American women, Audrey Magazine highlights eight newsmakers, activists, leaders and trailblazers who encourage us to pursue our dreams, explore the unknown, and stand up for those without a voice.
by Ada Tseng
Executive Editor for NPR News
Every week, 26 million people tune in to National Public Radio programs and NPR Newscasts — more than the total circulation of the top national newspapers — and since January 2013, Madhulika Sikka, an Indian American woman born in England, has been responsible for setting the agenda for the entire news division.
On any given morning, her team could be placing equal importance on the Detroit bankruptcy, President Obama's economic tour, the golden age of television, new methods to engage their audience in an honest discussion about race, and Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge, a.k.a. the royal baby.
"I'm a big believer in satisfying your wonk and your whimsy," says Sikka, who previously executive produced NPR's newsmagazine Morning Edition. "It might have something to do with my own personal news ADD, but I just think that we're curious people, and we're curious about lots of things. It is no accident that we have a program called All Things Considered."
Sikka is extremely pleased with NPR's global health and science coverage that other broadcasters don't cover as thoroughly — exploring tuberculosis outbreaks around the world and incidents of polio coming back — but she also wants to make sure her listeners are prepared for lighter water-cooler conversations around the office.
"We have two extraordinary female correspondents that covered Syria as well as anybody, and I'm proud of that coverage because it's vital to our mission," says Sikka. "But I'm also proud of the enormously great coverage we've done on cultural issues, like this summer's series on the different kinds of media that kids are exposed to."
But being multifaceted in content is not enough: it's also very important to Sikka that NPR News continually evolves with technology and that there's a fluid relationship between all platforms, whether it's radio, digital tech, multimedia or social media. "None of us could have imagined the incredible range of ways we get to tell our stories now," she says. "It's really incredible the things we can do, the tools that we accrue, and how technology allows us to be in places that might have been completely out of reach before."
Next year, Sikka will be publishing her first book, The Breast Cancer Alphabet, a collection of personal essays she wrote when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010 and went through treatment in 2011. "There's kind of a mythology around breast cancer that's very pink and fluffy and positive," she says. "And that is not the experience the whole time, so I felt like I gave myself permission to not feel that way. It ended up being an alphabet — starting at A for Anxiety, H for Hair, M for Mastectomy, ending at Z — and I hope it will be of use to other people going through it."
Whether it's providing "4 Tips To Help A Foodie Get Through Chemo," penning a Daily Beast article about her late mother's bravery ("As I wrapped her body in a red sari for her funeral, it dawned on me that her refusal to dress in Western clothing was more pioneering than anything I had ever done"), or slipping behind the scenes to study how best to engage her growing NPR audience (an intellectually curious group that hungers for, above all, interesting stories), Sikka wants us to open up our minds in terms of how we view the world.
"I think our primary goal is to provide information so they can be informed about the decisions and choices they make," says Sikka. "If [our listeners] learn one thing that they didn't know before, then we're doing pretty well. An informed democracy is a more healthy democracy."
On why she's wanted to be a journalist since she was 16
I wanted to be able to shed light on things that were happening around the country and around the globe. I grew up in England watching the BBC and being impressed at their ability to be everywhere, to open a window to places and issues that I might not have otherwise thought about. And I thought that was a wonderful thing to do.
On the difference between working on Morning Edition vs. being Executive Editor of NPR News
When you produce a daily news show, it's very focused. You're responsible for filling two hours every day without a break, so producing Morning Edition helped me hone the skill of working fast and being decisive — which is what a deadline does to you.
[Being Executive Editor of] NPR News is different. I've been a news person my whole life — that is what runs through my blood system, and that's hard to eliminate — but now, to have a hand in discussing broader coverage, and even coverage online, is a really exciting new prospect for me. How can we move, how can we react, what's appropriate for each particular outlet? For example, when the President came out unannounced [to speak about the Zimmerman verdict and reactions in the African American community], I realized it was a pretty extraordinary thing to hear a President speak that way, so we were able to get together very quickly and talk about what we'd do in next hour, the next morning, the morning after that, what we'd do online, etc. And that's really what you come in for.
On her first book, The Breast Cancer Alphabet
I never thought I'd write a book, and I certainly didn't think this was the book I'd write if I was going to write a book. When I was getting treatment, I was just writing a little bit for myself, because I had things I needed to get out. A lot of people encouraged me to write and then talking to people helped me hone a concept. My agents and publishers are excited about it, because they think it's a different kind of cancer book.
Who influences you?
I wrote about my mother and her death in an article that was published in the Daily Beast. It took me a while to come to the realization that she was a very brave woman. She got married when she was not quite 18, left her family behind and moved to England in 1960s.
I think that there's a different measure for our modern interpretation of a brave woman, but it's kind of extraordinary to think about that generation of women in the Indian diaspora and the idea that you'd have three kids with a stranger in an arranged marriage and raise them by yourself with no family around in early 1960's England, which wasn't the most hospitable place in the world for people of color, all without the benefits that we have today. I can't go a week without calling my family in England, but Skype wasn't even around when she was alive.
So are there amazing pioneering women in journalism? Yes, of course, and also in other spheres of life, but when I actually took the time to think about what my mom did, it's pretty remarkable.

(CBS News) -- More details have emerged about the Friday night capture that brought the intensive manhunt for the Boston bombing suspects to an end.
Suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, had been hiding in a boat in Watertown, Mass. Authorities responded to a call from a local man late Friday, after he observed that a tarp covering his boat had been disturbed and there was blood in the boat.
Based on "the amount of blood" the homeowner saw in the boat, it is likely Dzhokhar was shot as long as 20 hours before being discovered, Miller said, referring to the battle earlier Thursday that led to the death of the other bombing suspect, Dzhokhar's 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan.
It was a "fierce gun battle with police after the carjacking and the car chase, at which point they were apparently exchanging gun fire, but also throwing homemade grenades and one large satchel bomb at police officers, so he had been bleeding for a long time," Miller said.
In a photo of authorities apprehending Dzhokhar released Friday, a SWAT team medic can be seen administering an "ambu" resuscitation bag to assist him in his breathing. Another photo shows Dzhokhar climbing out of the boat under his own power, following the commands of the HRT (Hostage Rescue Team), and Miller said it is clear from the images that, "this is a guy who was very weak at this point and probably -- had he not been discovered -- he might not have lived."
A Department of Justice official told CBS News that the arresting agents used an exemption clause to the Miranda law, allowing them to first question Tsarnaev on immediate security concerns before reading him his rights.
"In a case when there are exigent circumstances -- public safety is involved," explains Miller, the exception can be invoked to quickly obtain information; namely "are there other explosives? Is there another plot to blow something up? Are there other people?"
Still, the use of the public safety exception is rare. "We almost never see that," Miller said, adding that i was last invoked to question Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the so-called "underwear bomber" on the Christmas Day 2009 flight into Detroit.
In the coming weeks authorities will continue to question Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who Miller calls "an intelligence windfall." He added that the primary questions for Tsarnaev are those posed by President Obama in his addresses to Boston and to the nation throughout the week: "How did you do this? How did you plan this? And did you have help?"

Captured Syrian city a test for rebel forces
BEIRUT Since rebels seized the capital of Raqqa province in northern Syria from the government last week, they have posted guards at state buildings, returned bread prices to pre-war levels and opened a hotline that residents can phone to report security issues, anti-regime activists said Sunday.
At the same time, they have killed captured security forces in public squares and driven their dead bodies through the streets. The most powerful rebel brigades in the city are extremist Muslims and include Jabhat al-Nusra, which the U.S. government says is linked to al-Qaida.
As the first major Syrian city to fall entirely under rebel control, Raqqa is shaping up to be the best test case yet for how opposition fighters will administer territory amid Western concerns over who will fill the vacuum if President Bashar Assad is ousted. While the city's new rulers try to govern, they are struggling with the same divisions that have hampered the rebel movement's effectiveness throughout Syria's civil war.
The rising power of Islamic extremists in their ranks also could block them from receiving badly needed aid from countries that support the anti-Assad struggle but fear weapons could fall into the wrong hands. The United States recently promised $60 million in new, non-lethal assistance to the opposition inside Syria, and other powers are considering sending arms. Most of these countries would look askance, however, at rebels who seek an Islamic state or stand accused of war crimes.
Rebels in Raqqa reached via phone and Skype on Sunday acknowledged the strength of Islamic brigades but said these groups didn't seek to impose outside ideologies on the city. "This is not Islamic extremism," said Abu Yazan, a leader in the Islamist Faithful of Raqqa Brigade. "It is these Islamic movements that freed us from the criminal regime."
Over the last year, rebels have greatly expanded the territory they hold in the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo along the Turkish border. In February, they extended their control into Raqqa province, seizing a hydroelectric dam on the Euphrates River. After storming a central prison, they seized most of Raqqa city on March 4, solidifying their control over the next two days.
That made Raqqa, a north-central city of 500,000 people, the first of Syria's provincial capitals to fall entirely under rebel control.
Since then, the city's rebels have been bedeviled by the same problems that have hindered them elsewhere. Most residents fled during the fighting and have stayed away, fearing the government attacks that often follow rebel takeovers.
Two such strikes hit the province on Saturday, killing at least 14 people and leaving dead bodies scattered in the streets, according to activists and a video posted online.
Other videos have surfaced online of government security officers killed after their capture by rebels.
One shot Saturday shows the bodies of three men face down in a public square, their hands bound and their brains blown out.
"The dogs of military security were executed in Clock Square," an off-camera narrator says.
Another video shows rebels driving the dead body of a military intelligence official around town in the back of a truck. At one point, they lay it in a street next to another body. Both have holes in their heads.
A Raqqa activist said Sunday via Skype that military security was notorious for its brutality toward the opposition during the uprising, which began with anti-regime protests in March 2011 and later spiraled into civil war. The U.N. says more than 70,000 people have been killed since.
When rebels entered the city, they surrounded the military security compound and granted safe passage to the 60 officers inside to a nearby airport, he said. On the way to the airport, however, the officers tried to break away, sparking clashes that killed four rebels and nine officers. The rest fled. Rebels then killed them upon capture as punishment, he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he attends university in a government-controlled area.

Ah, winter: It's the season of snowflakes, chunky sweaters, and tight, flaky skin. Sure, the snowfall is romantic, but we're the opposite of smitten with applying makeup to our dry, irritated faces. Hoping to make the process a little less, um, irritating, we consulted Shirley Pinkson, co-founder of W3LL PEOPLE, who spent several years as a makeup artist before working to develop the brand's all-natural beauty products loaded with organic, skin-saving aloe vera. She shares her techniques for prepping and painting your face when it's zero degrees out.
Before you even think about applying makeup, Pinkson says, make sure your skin is fully hydrated. Apply an antioxidant-packed moisturizer or BB cream like Dr. Jart+'s Black Detox Beauty Balm and a hydrating eye cream—dab ARCONA's Eye Dew, which contains hyaluronic acid and light reflecting minerals, onto the bone below and above your eyes.
Swap powder foundation for cream and liquid formulas, which blend more evenly into uneven skin textures. Pinkson is partial to W3LL PEOPLE's aloe-packed Narcissist Stick Foundation, applied in soft, downward strokes with a foundation brush (brushing upwards can irritate sensitive complexions). For sheerer coverage that won't dry you out, she recommends blending a couple drops of Acure's 100% Organic Moroccan Argan Oil into a hydrating tinted moisturizer and smoothing onto your face with the warmth of your fingers.
Noticing a trend? As with foundation, Pinkson recommends sticking to cream blushes and shadows. When applied to the apples of cheeks, Vasanti's Lip and Cheek Colour Pod gives wind-battered skin a healthy dose of hydrating color. Similarly, cream-based shadows like Laura Mercier's Caviar Sticks should be used in place of powder formulas and applied close to the lash line. Avoiding the crease will cut down on the risk of highlighting dryness-induced fine lines.
If your lips are cracked and chapped (and whose aren't?), Pinkson recommends avoiding matte formulas, which can make them appear even drier. Make the switch to a tinted lip balm (like Pixi by Petra's Shea Butter Lip Balm) or a sheer, vitamin-packed product like Jouer's Hydrating Lipstick. Both contain healing Shea butter, which will make your lips feel as moisturized and full as they did back in July.
It's a common misconception that shimmery highlighters will call attention to uneven skin texture. Not so, says Pinkson: "Highlighters are dry skin's best friend—you just need to know where to apply them." Put W3LL PEOPLE's Bio Brightener Stick on cheek bones, brow bones, and the cupid's bow, to make winter-worn skin look dewy. Then set your makeup with a hydrating facial spray like Jurlique's Rosewater Balancing Mist. The tonic will keep everything in place, and its blend of rose essential oil, aloe, and grapefruit seed will soothe your skin throughout the day (spritz whenever you start to feel parched!).

Mamma Mia! (2008)
Mamma Mia! Synopsis
Meryl Streep leads an all-star cast in the feature-film adaptation of the beloved musical that has been seen by more than 30 million people in 160 cities and 8 languages around the world. Bringing the timeless lyrics and melodies of iconic super group ABBA to movie audiences, Summer 2008 is the season for Mamma Mia!
An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna (Streep) is about to let go of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), the spirited daughter she's raised alone. For Sophie's wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends--practical and no-nonsense Rosie (Julie Walters) and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya (Christine Baranski)--from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own.
On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna's past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities.
Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA's songs from "Dancing Queen" and "S.O.S." to "Money, Money, Money" and "Take a Chance on Me," Mamma Mia! is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found.

Looking for an opening
MORGANTOWN - A West Virginia football team mired in a dispiriting four-game losing streak faces arguably its most difficult challenge all season tonight when the Mountaineers face No. 13 Oklahoma.
Yes, WVU has already faced a team that is ranked No. 1 in the BCS standings and primed to play for the national championship if it wins two more games. But even against Kansas State the Mountaineers didn't face these challenges:
Still, when West Virginia (5-4, 2-4 Big 12) hosts Oklahoma (7-2, 5-1) tonight at Mountaineer Field (7 p.m., Fox), there is at least one reason for hope.
For four games now, the Mountaineers have been hamstrung on offense by teams that have followed the same formula, playing deep zone coverage designed to eliminate the big plays that WVU relied on during its 5-0 start. At least Oklahoma isn't likely to do that.
"I'm kind of excited about it actually,'' West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. "We haven't faced anything different for quite some time and this is a little bit different style of defense.''
It's not easier, mind you. After all, Oklahoma has been more successful in stopping the pass than anyone else in the country. In nine games, the Sooners have given up just three passing touchdowns and none of them mattered. Two were by Texas after the Longhorns had already fallen behind 56-8 and the other was in a 69-13 rout of outmanned Florida A&M.
But at least the Mountaineers won't be facing the same thing that has stopped them time and again during this streak. Oklahoma will play man coverage on most receivers, with a pair of safeties who must also play the run in a short-handed (5-man) box.
"It's a different approach than what we've faced over the last six or seven games,'' Holgorsen said. "We've seen a lot of zone coverage, a lot of drop-seven, drop-six. These guys are a man coverage team.
"But they've got tremendous athletes. They've got tremendous football players. They've got big, thick guys up front that do a great job against the run and they've got about six or seven coverage guys that can all cover. It's going to be one-on-one matchups all over the place, so we've got to do a good job of winning those.''
Oklahoma's defensive style also invites the run and if West Virginia can get that part of its game going it would help immensely. Last week Baylor, just as pass-oriented as WVU, ran 51 times and gained 252 yards against the Sooners. The Bears lost 42-34, but were in the game right to the bitter end.
If West Virginia is to have a chance, the offense has to be productive. That's the way the Mountaineers won their first five games, overcoming defensive deficiencies to simply overwhelm and outscore opponents.
But while Oklahoma's style of play on defense might seem to invite success by WVU, other factors do not.
"The one thing that never changes is the effort that they play with and the nastiness that they play with,'' Holgorsen said of the OU defense. "They play with just a tremendous amount of energy and regardless of what the scheme is that's probably a little bit more important than anything, their mentality.
"Our approach needs to be to get ready to play the game. We need to get excited about playing a game. We need to get fired up about the opportunity.''

Pocatello, ID (Sports Network) - Gabe Rogers posted 22 points and DeWayne
Russell scored 19 to push Northern Arizona to a 60-55 triumph over Idaho State
Saturday night in Big Sky conference play from Holt Arena.
Gaellan Bewernick had 14 rebounds for the Lumberjacks (6-12, 3-5 Big Sky), who
broke a four-game slide. Northern Arizona also ended a 12-game regular season
road conference losing streak.
Tomas Sanchez poured in 12 points, while Andre Hatchett and Melvin Morgan each
scored 11 for the Bengals (4-13, 3-5), who failed to build on Thursday's home
win against Sacramento State.
Rogers was particularly effective from long distance as he hit 4-of-10 from 3-
point range. Conversely, the Bengals went 3-of-14 from beyond the arc.
NAU led by as many as seven in the first half, but the Lumberjacks found
themselves in a 30-30 tie at the break.
Hatchett's layup had the hosts within 52-51 with 2:15 remaining, but Jordyn
Martin countered with a bucket and he then hit a pair of free throws for a
56-51 difference with 1:39 left. Rogers added two more from the charity
The Bengals had one last gasp as Melvin's layup made it 58-55 with 39 seconds
left. Bewernick missed a pair of free throws, but ISU couldn't take advantage
as Nnamdi Ezenwa's layup try was blocked by Martin.
Rogers sealed the outcome at the foul line.

text: Home Culture A Viral Video Attack on Single Black Women A video sweeping the Internet portrays black women as demanding and unrealistic when it comes to relationship requirements. Since when is it wrong to have standards? By: Jacque Reid Posted: Oct. 20 2010 6:32 PM 0 YouTube Standards. Everyone should have them, right? Apparently not if you're a black woman. By now, surely, you've seen or heard about the "Black Marriage Negotiations" video, featuring a black businesswoman negotiating her relationship terms with a black businessman in a boardroom. This particular video, one in a series of online animated clips satirizing black relationships, has gone viral and drawn quite a bit of outcry. In the video, a monotone-voiced animated black woman runs down her list of what she wants from a man. Of course, this woman comes off as unreasonable, unrealistic and -- here comes my favorite adjective irresponsibly attached to black women -- crazy. When you watch this video, it may seem funny at first. But after it sinks in that this is really how many black men and others see black women, it may infuriate and even hurt you, especially if you are a single black woman. As a single black woman, let me stress that there is nothing wrong with us, despite what media reports suggest. Yes, 42 percent of us have never married. But it's not because all of us are angry or bitter or hard to get along with or too demanding or wear too much weave or don't work out or talk and laugh too loud. We are single because there is a shortage of single, straight black men of quality who want to get married to us. And we, as a group, are still slower to marry outside of our race. Period. The characters in "Black Marriage Negotiations" are exaggerations, but are the woman's demands so farfetched? What is the problem with a black woman wanting to be with a man who a) will love, nurture and protect her; b) knows how to manage a household and make sound decisions; c) can financially enhance what she already has going on; or d) wants to go to church and help out around the house? These are called standards. And while the numbers of singles may be greater among black women, we aren't the only women who have high hopes for our potential husbands. Consider this quote from a recent article about Muslim women from zawaj.com: "Indeed, a startling number of young Muslim women are finding themselves scrambling to find a husband before reaching their 30s and possibly never marrying. Many accomplished and educated young women end up lowering their standards for the sake of avoiding lifelong loneliness." How about this, from a Jewish blog: "Money and education are big factors in why Jewish women have a hard time finding Jewish mates. But the way they affect matters -- the reason that these are important aspects of the dating game -- depends almost entirely on whether you ask the women ('It's hard to find someone as educated as I am') or the men ('Jewish women are only concerned about money and success')." Hill's words remind me of what is most disturbing about that viral video -- the lack of comments from black men defending black women. The comment pages on YouTube and Facebook should be flooded with brothers who are outraged at what is being said about their mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, wives, girlfriends, friends and partners in this struggle of life. Instead, the Slim Thugs of the world want to publicly embrace and perpetuate these hurtful, damaging stereotypes. I am sick and tired of the attack on the single black woman. We were built tough, so we can handle it. But what about the young sisters out there surfing the Net as they try to find and define themselves? I wonder what they see after they watch that viral video and then look in the mirror. Jacque Reid is a seasoned broadcast journalist and a contributing editor for The Root.

Hitachi Ultrastar A7K2000 0F11000 / HUA722050CLA330 500GB 7.2K 3.5" SATA Hard Drive - Brand New
Capacity: 500GB
Spindle Speed: 7,200RPM
Interface Type: SATA
Disk Size: 3.5inx1.0in LFF Hard Drive
Sustained Throughput (MBps): 134
Average Seek Time (read/write ms): 8.5
Electrical Interface Speed: SATA 300 - 3.0Gbps
On-Board Cache: 32MB
Doubling The Capacity Density
As data center professionals across the globe work to meet growing enterprise needs, they
face the dilemma of storing more data in the same footprint while also reducing power and HVAC
consumption. The new Ultrastar™ A7K2000 provides twice the data storage capacity of the
prior generation Ultrastar A7K1000 drive, and does so using fewer watts. It is now possible to
achieve a colossal 1.2 petabytes (PB) in the footprint of a standard 19-inch enterprise storage
rack by deploying the 2TB A7K2000 in a stack of ten 4U, 60-bay enclosures.
Combining 7200 Rpm Performance And Granular Power Control
Operating at 7200 RPM, the HGST Ultrastar A7K2000 offers better overall performance than
slower-RPM, capacity-oriented drives at impressively low power-consumption rates. When
compared to the previous generation Ultrastar A7K1000, the A7K2000 offers up to a 155%
improvement in sustained data transfer rate, and a 120% improvement in watts-per-GB.
With five Advanced Power Management modes, a 36% reduction in watts during low-RPM
idle mode, and using less than 1W during standby/sleep mode, the Ultrastar A7K2000 can
help data centers achieve lower AC power and HVAC requirements, freeing up precious
headroom for growing enterprise needs.
Enhancing Data Safety And Security
To ensure the utmost in data safety and security, the Ultrastar A7K2000 is also available
with a bulk data encryption (BDE) option. When enabled, the HGST BDE implementation
encrypts all data on the drive using a private security key as it is written to the disk,
and then decrypts it with the key as it is retrieved, giving users an extreme level of data
protection. Unlike software-based encryption solutions, the HGST BDE implementation
is hardware-based, so it doesn't slow the system down. This technology also speeds up
and simplifies the drive re-deployment and decommissioning process. By deleting the
encryption key, the data is rendered unreadable, thereby eliminating the need for timeconsuming,
multi-pattern data overwrite.
Delivering Industry-Leading Reliability
With a robust fourth-generation mechanical design, Ultrastar A7K2000 is specifically built
and tested for the enterprise. The Ultrastar SATA drive family features HGST-patented
Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) sensor technology, which optimizes drive reliability
in multi-drive RAID arrays and rack-mounted systems. Backed by a five-year warranty, the
Ultrastar platform has earned HGST a reputation among server and storage vendors as a
global partner dedicated to delivering the highest quality and reliability in the industry.
Innovation for a more sustainable environment
The Ultrastar A7K2000 demonstrates HGST ecological leadership with its halogen-free
design and power-efficient operation. Both these features serve to qualify the drive for the
HGST EcoTrac classification, which identifies products that minimize environmental impact
in the areas of product design, manufacturing, operation and disposal.
This drive is compatible with all laptops that use SATA hard drives.

The annual President's Choice Lawn & Garden Insider's Report luncheon is a hot-ticket event for garden writers, because we get to turn our plots into trial gardens. This year, a room at the Toronto Botanical Garden was turned into a greenhouse so we could preview all the hot new plants that we'll find at garden centres this spring. And let's face it, most of us will make it to one of Loblaw's parking lot nurseries at least once. Who doesn't love buying a chicken, a Joe Fresh T-shirt and a dahlia or two in one shopping trip? Plus, I have to say their plants are always top-notch and affordable. I was able to chat with some of the growers, as well as listen to them tell the whole group of us about their breeding programs and their latest innovations.
Here are just a few of the plants I'm excited about. I'll be including others in a "Hot plants for 2012″ piece premiering next week! Also premiering next week is the Lawn & Garden Insider's Report. Keep an eye out for it in stores!
1. Haskap berries
To be honest, I had never heard of these little gems until Signe Langford wrote about them in her 2012 "new edibles to try" piece. Apparently they taste like a cross between a raspberry and a blueberry. Apparently you need two different varieties to get adequate pollination. I got 'Indigo Gem' and 'Indigo Treat'. Excited to see how they grow–and to taste the berries!
2. Brunnera Jack Frost
This will be one of my first purchases from the nursery this year. Named "perennial of the year" for 2012, brunneras are deer-resistant and shade-loving. This will be a perfect plant for the back of my lot where the tree canopy casts a giant shadow for most of the day, and where the deer enter the yard if they're in the neighbourhood!
3. Suncatcher Pink Lemonade Petunias
Last year it was the black petunia. This year, it's all about pink lemonade. The colour on these blooms is just so unique and pretty, and they'll contrast nicely with most other hues.
4. Lanai Verbena Twister Pink
This pretty little number is so unique with its ring of miniature, two-toned blooms around a hollow centre. These will be fantastic for pots. I have a cone-shaped bamboo wall planter that I bought at the Ideal Home & Garden Show in Hamilton. I think one or two are destined to be included in it!
5. PC Vegetables in a Cage
President's Choice always has great edible plant offerings for both small and large spaces. A couple of years ago it was the upside-down, hanging tomato basket, last year it was the salad bowl garden. This year they've introduced vegetables all potted up with a cage around them. All you need to do is add water!

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.
SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.
The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.
