Washington, D.C.: U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has introduced an amendment to the fiscal 2014 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Related Agencies Appropriations bill to prohibit funds to the Transportation Alternatives Program, and instead redirect them for a different purpose in the bill. The Recreational Trails Program derives its funding from this program.
The RTP was created on a bipartisan basis in 1991 to provide funds to states to develop and maintain recreational trails and trail-related facilities for both non-motorized and motorized recreational trail uses. Funds for the RTP come from excise taxes generated by the purchase of fuel used for off-highway vehicle recreation -- by off-highway motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles and off-highway light trucks.
Throughout its history, the RTP has proven to be very successful in helping fulfill the needs of recreationists of all types. The program currently funds recreational trails across the country at a level of $85 million annually. Losing this program would be a big loss to both motorized and non-motorized recreationists.
In addition, RTP-funded projects attract trail users region-wide, and bring added tourism revenues to local communities.
To take action, an AMA Alert with a prewritten script and talking points is available. Insert the appropriate zip code in the "Call Now" box to obtain the correct senators' phone numbers.
Downieville, Calif.: Single-track enthusiasts are encouraged to attend a volunteer work day to continue constructing the Butcher Ranch Single-Track Extension project on Monday, August 26, 2013. Contact Joe Chavez, Tahoe National Forest Trails Program Coordinator, at (530) 478-6158 or firstname.lastname@example.com for additional information. To attend, RSVP as soon as possible to allow the Yuba River Trail Crew time to prepare for the day's activities.
El Centro, Calif.: Barring legal action, about 38,000 acres will be reopened to off-highway riding in late September in the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area in California, which is commonly known as Glamis.
The federal Bureau of Land Management released a final Recreation Area Management Plan and Amendments to the California Desert Conservation Area in June to guide the management of more than 160,000 acres of public land in the recreation area and another 50,000 acres surrounding the recreation area in the California Desert Conservation Area. The entire area is 40 miles long and averages 5 miles wide.
Once released, these final decisions started a 90-day countdown for the reopening of land for riding that had been closed under a court order. Opponents of off-highway riding have indicated they will go to court to block the reopening of the public land.
If the decisions stand, riders will have access to about 180,000 acres for riding: 127,416 acres are designated as Open OHV area and 52,370 acres are designated as Limited OHV area, meaning the number of riders allowed is restricted. Another 35,144 acres are closed to OHVs.
For more information, go to www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/elcentro/recreation/ohvs/isdra.html.
Sonora, Calif.: Congressman Tom McClintock will be the keynote speaker at a Congressional Field Hearing to discuss the serious implications of a proposal to designate more than 2,000,000 (million) acres as critical habitat listing for the yellow-legged frog (covering 14 counties in the Sierras).
For more information, contact the congressman's district director, Rocky Deal at email@example.com or 916-786-5560. The meeting will be held on August 6, 2013 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. at the Sonora County Fairgrounds, 220 Southgate Drive, Sonora, CA 95370. The meeting is open to the public.
Denver, Colo.: This summer, U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) introduced H.R. 2552, the Colorado Wilderness Act of 2013 which would inappropriately designate nearly 750,000 acres as Wilderness in Colorado. This Wilderness designation would make the land off limits to off-highway vehicle enthusiasts.
Millions of acres of public lands are already designated as Wilderness in Colorado and by a stroke of a pen, this legislation proposes to increase Wilderness by another 750,000 acres – which is 10 percent of all the federal Bureau of Land Management land in Colorado – without the input of those who recreate responsibly on that land.
The AMA needs motorcyclists and OHV enthusiasts to help to stop H.R. 2552 in its tracks. A prewritten email is available for those who want to contact their federal representative and ask them to oppose H.R. 2552.
Payette, Idaho: The Bureau of Land Management has announced new restrictions that apply to public land next to Big Willow Creek in Payette County in order to protect the Packard's Milkvetch. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has designated the plant a candidate for Endangered Species Act protections. Under the new restrictions approx. 5,620 acres of land are closed to motorized travel and an additional 1,620 acres will allow motorized travel only on designated trails.
Springfield, Ill.: House Bill 1539, sponsored by Rep. Kenneth Dunkin (D-Chicago), would permit persons authorized by local authority to direct, control or regulate traffic. Aimed at making processions and assemblages safer and more efficient, the ABATE of Illinois-requested bill passed with wide support in both chambers of the Illinois Legislature. HB-1539 was sent to Governor Pat Quinn on June 19.
House Resolution 524, sponsored by Rep. Kay Hatcher (R-Yorkville), urges the U.S. Congress to pass H.R. 875 to scientifically determine the effects that E-15 will have on internal combustion engines of all types.
Jefferson City, Mo.: Senate Bill 282, sponsored by Sen. Jay Wasson (R-Nixa), prohibits law enforcement agencies from establishing roadside checkpoints or road block patterns based upon a particular vehicle type, including the establishment of motorcycle-only checkpoints except for commercial motor vehicles. Signed into law June 27 by Governor Jay Nixon, the bill takes effect August 28.
Butte, Mont.: A federal judge has rejected a legal challenge to a U.S. Forest Service plan to ban motorized and mechanized vehicles in 322,000 acres of newly recommended wilderness areas in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. The suit contended that the 2009 USFS revised forest plan unfairly restricted access to snowmobiles, off-road vehicles and mountain bikes in certain parts of the forest until Congress decides whether it should become a designated wilderness area.
The judge also dismissed three other claims from numerous individuals and organizations interested in access to wilderness. The ruling stated that the agency had fulfilled its obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act.
Carson City, Nev.: Many OHV owners are still working through the process of registering their vehicles despite a new law requiring them to do so. In fact, according to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, most owners haven't even begun the process,
The requirement to register OHVs has been in place since July 2012 but the state allowed a grace period that ended on July 1, 2013. The majority of the money collected from these registration fees is going directly to the development and maintenance of trails statewide.
To register the vehicle the owner must pay a $20 fee at the DMV and get a VIN inspection on their vehicles at a local qualified OHV dealer. Riders' are encouraged to visit: http://nvohv.com/registration/ for additional information.

This is a CONGRESSIONAL FIELD HEARING, and is open to the public.. Providence, R.I.: House Bill 5061, sponsored by Rep. Arthur J. Corvese (D-North Providence), increases penalties for those convicted of, or pleading guilty to, a right-of-way violation that results in bodily injury, serious bodily injury, or death to another roadway user. Championed by the Rhode Island Motorcycle Association and signed into law July 15 by Gov. Lincoln D. Chafee, the bill implements greater financial and driver license suspension penalties for right-of-way violations at intersections with or without stop or yield signs, for vehicles turning at intersections or within rotaries, and those involving fire companies.
Senate Bill 275, sponsored by Sen. V. Susan Sosnowski (D-South Kingstown), permits a motorcyclist to use a headset installed in a helmet and worn so as to prevent the speakers from making direct contact with the user's ears so that the user can hear surrounding sounds. The bill was signed into law by Gov. Chafee on July 15 and takes effect immediately.
El Paso, Texas: The El Paso Police Department is reminding residents about free motorcycle safety courses; they'll continue to be offered in 2013. The El Paso Police Department's Safe Communities unit offers its free motorcycle safety course on the first Saturday of each month. The class runs from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. The class will be held at Barnett Harley Davidson located at 8272 Gateway Blvd East. The sessions are free to the public.
To sign up for the class, those interested in participating should call the El Paso Police Department's Traffic Safety Coordinator, Margaret Petrozza at (915) 564 7352. The remaining dates for the safety courses in 2013 are: 8/3, 9/7, 10/5, 11/2 and 12/7.
Madison, Wis.: Recently Gov. Scott Walker signed Senate Bills 29 and 32 into law. SB 29 relates to the creation of an off-road vehicle council in the Department of Natural Resources. The council will consist of seven members appointed by the governor to serve three-year terms. Councilmembers must be state residents, a member of an OHV group and be knowledgeable about outdoor recreation issues and trails used by these groups. The duties of the council include providing advice and making recommendations to the Governor, the DNR, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, and the Legislature regarding trails, routes, and grants for the landowner incentive program. If the DNR secretary determines the council has not convened once during the previous year, the council dissolves.
Senate Bill 32 adjusts the age and speed restrictions in current law when specific safety precautions are taken while operating ATVs and utility terrain vehicles. Under Senate Bill 32, an individual younger than 12 years of age will be able to ride an ATV/UTV on land under the management and control of an individual, who consents to the operation of the ATV/UTV, and if the individual is accompanied by a parent, guardian, or other designated adult. An additional component of this bill is that individuals under than 18 years of age can operate an ATV/UTV at demonstration events if it is on a closed course, the individual wears protective headgear, and they are accompanied by a parent, guardian, or designated adult.

Valencia, Spain (Sports Network) - Two-time champion David Ferrer was an
easy second-round victor Thursday at the Valencia Open.
The top-seeded world No. 5 star handled fellow Spaniard Albert Ramos 6-4, 6-2
on the hardcourts at the City of the Arts and Sciences.
Ferrer titled here in 2008 and 2010 and was the Valencia runner-up in 2005.
Reigning Valencia titlist Marcel Granollers continued his winning ways at this
event by overcoming Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-7 (4-7), 6-3, 6-2. Simon was a
Valencia runner-up back in 2006.
Granollers beat Argentine Juan Monaco in last year's Valencia finale and
was the runner-up to Ferrer here in two years ago.
In other second-round action, Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov doused
Luxembourg's Gilles Muller 6-4, 6-4 and Austrian Jurgen Melzer bested Belgian
Xavier Malisse 7-5, 6-2. Dolgopolov will face Granollers in the quarterfinals,

Aimo Hyvärinen: SNOW & ICE
February 16 to March 20, 2012
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 16, 7:00 p.m.
HANCOCK, MI - The Finlandia University Gallery will present an exhibit of work by Finnish photographer Aimo Hyvärinen from February 16 to March 20, 2012.
An opening reception for the artist is Thursday, February 16, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. An artist talk will begin at 7:15 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public; refreshments will be served.
Hyvärinen was ten years old when his godmother gave him his first photo album. Using his brother's Kodak Brownie, and later his own Agfa Instamatic camera, Hyvärinen filled the album with photographs of snow-covered landscapes.
Hyvärinen's exhibit at the Finlandia University Gallery, titled "Snow and Ice," combines a selection of these old photographs with some of Hyvärinen's current work to capture the poetic and synergetic relationship between humans and snow.
The Finlandia University Gallery is in the Finnish American Heritage Center, 435 Quincy St., Hancock.
For additional information, contact gallery director Carrie Flaspohler at 906-487-7500.

Birmingham, AL (SportsNetwork.com) - Stroke play medalist Matthew Mattare was
eliminated, while defending champion Nathan Smith advanced Monday at the
conclusion of the opening round of match play at the U.S. Mid-Amateur
Mattare, who was a quarterfinalist last year, was eliminated by Davis Boland,
2 & 1, on the West Course at the Country Club of Birmingham.
Mattare grabbed the early lead with a par at the first, but then lost the next
four holes to fall 3-down to Boland. After a bogey at the seventh dropped
Mattare into a 4-down deficit, he was able to battle back to within one with a
pair of pars at the eighth and 11th around a birdie at the 10th.
Boland birdied the 12th to regain a 2-up advantage. Mattare parred the 16th to
pull back within one, but tripped to a bogey at the 17th while Boland rolled
in a par to seal the victory.
Boland was part of a 12-for-8 playoff earlier on Monday to earn his spot in
the match play portion of the tournament.
Smith, meanwhile, advanced to the second round of match play with a 4 & 3
decision over Scott Shingler.
The duo entered the sixth hole all square after each had won a pair of holes,
but Smith took control from there, moving to 4-up with pars at the sixth,
eighth and ninth, and a birdie at the 12th.
Shingler birdied the 13th to get back within three of the four-time champion,
but Smith converted another par at the 15th to win the hole and put the match
Smith will now face 2005 winner Kevin Marsh in the round of 32 after Marsh
defeated Matthew Rosen, 1-up.
The largest margin of victory on Monday came from Keith Humerickhouse, who
rolled to a 7 & 5 decision over Grant Skyllas. Tim Jackson, the 2001 winner,
and Bill Williamson were next with a pair of 6 & 4 wins over Michael Greene
and John Rudolph, respectively.
Stan Gann, Jr. and Matt Schneider each needed 19 holes to advance to the next
Among those players to fail to advance past the first round of match play was
2011 champion Randal Lewis, who lost to Dan Sullivan, 1-up.

DCSO charges fourth in Dollar General embezzlement
Published: Thursday, November 14, 2013 at 11:22 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 14, 2013 at 11:22 a.m.
A fourth person has been charged with embezzling more than $9,000 in cash a day before Christmas last year from a Dollar General location in Tyro, according to arrest warrants.
Chasity Martin Hulin, 27, of 1849 Eller Road, Lot 20, has been charged with felony larceny and felony embezzlement. She was given a $5,000 secured bond and a court date of Nov. 19.
Hulin was taken into custody Wednesday. Allen James Gainey III, 29, Tammy Coleman Phillips, 27, and Danny Edward Phillips III, 28, also have been charged with felony embezzlement and felony larceny.
Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said Monday that the incident stemming from the arrests of the Phillipses was initially reported as a robbery. Tammy Phillips reported the incident at 7:29 a.m. Dec. 24, 2012. The Dollar General is at 4423 N.C. Highway 150 South.
Tammy Phillips was the only Dollar General employee of the four people charged, according to the sheriff's office. Court documents have stated nearly $9,100 was taken from the store. A Dollar General spokesman has said that Phillips was fired shortly after the incident was reported late last year to the DCSO.

Brandt was drafted.
Stephenson was rated by some to be the 3rd best cener in the draft.
Seth Zehr was a good player.
Yet we were horrible on the offensive line. It makes not sense.
He was bad.
(Probably the understatement of the year)

"Success is just failure that hasn't happened yet." - life advice from Latrell Spreewell
If only we could go back in time had have hired a different OC instead of Cotton. I wonder what could have been...
i think maybe if he could concentrated on being an OL coach he may have been ok...but he could not call plays and coach the OL at the same time thats for sure. im not sure he couldve called plays anyways. he was a good OL coach in the past...he needs to stick with that.
I was told yesterday that part of the reason Stephenson didn't get drafted was because he was being bad-mouthed by the Minnesota coaching staff and even got bad references by McGettigan(sp). Basically he was told by Cleveland that they knew he wouldn't get drafted so they would offer him a free agent contract after the draft. I forgot that he transferred here from Minnesota until yesterday.
Same person said that Stephenson made comments to someone that he learned more in the three weeks he was around the current OLine coach then he did the whole time with Cotton & Co.

You know, they've done studies on his coaching philosphy. 50% of the time being extremely predictable with your play calling and underutilizing your best players works every time.
That doesn't even make sense.
He was bad, we'll just leave it at that.
Remember that show Mama's Family? That bad.

I for one, concur with that statement

Cotton was Bob Saggat in anything BAD.

I honestly think we would have 2 Big 12 North Championship trophies. And that makes me angry and sick. People liked to bash McCarney for the terrible play-calling when the fact of the matter was Cotton was calling the plays.
But was Barney Sanjaya bad? Yeah, he probably was.
Nice job guys!! If Ben Cotton is a CycloneFanatic user, I'm going to be ******!!
Ben Cotton
First off Ben Cotton is not even Sniffing ISU right now. Would you go buy something from a company that just fired your father. I know I would not. Second if Ben Cotton is a Cyclonefanatic user he is probably a loser like the rest of us so I don't think we should recruit him.
BC was St Louis Cardinals bad.

See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 2 reviews.Rating: Waterproof 6.5mm B1 Semi-Dry Medium Sole Zipper Dive Boots Review - Scuba Gear Customer Reviews
I want to know if these boots are water proof? I had foot surgery and am not allowed to get my foot wet. But I also want to go in shallow water at the beach would this keep my bandages dry?
Unfortunately no. Waterproof is the name of the manufacturer in this case. In scuba we don't have boots that are completely waterproof or will keep your feet totally dry. The only way to accomplish this with the equipment we have would be in the use of a Dry Suit which is going to be a full body, long arms and legs type suit for scuba diving. Probably not what you would find useful. If we can help further please feel free to ask one of our instructors at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 800-34SCUBA
Could you please tell me if the mens size 4/womens size 5 is equivalent to the XXS? I just bought the XS and it is too big - I am womens size 5 (UK sizing), I am living in Mexico so have to purchase online.

G3 is short for Generation Three. Much like the G2 hub, this one chops a prodigious amount of weight off the previous version, but it does much more than that. The G3 design looks like a conventional hub, with a matte Black finish and smaller diameter that masks the hub's purpose. This is only the most obvious of the changes. A much bigger deal is the new electronics configuration. They are now attached to the left hub cap rather than to the hub body, and they can be serviced without sending back the hub or rendering it useless.
That the brains of the hub can be serviced without sending back the wheel is huge. Just about every single power meter ever produced, whether it is hub, crank, bottom bracket, or chain stay-based needs to be serviced at some time over its operating life. Until now, you needed to give up your precious meter for days or even weeks to get it worked on and returned. We've witnessed power fiends get despondent and desperate, trying to figure out how they can source a spare power meter for the duration of the absence. Now, you can get a spare cap with all the electronics before you send yours in. And shipping is simpler and cheaper when you don't have to stick a wheel in a box.
Another improvement that comes with this change is a single CR2032 watch battery powers the transmitter; these batteries are more easy to source and replace than the two 357 batteries found in the older hubs. The battery should last for approximately 300 hours of riding.
The hub has eight strain gauges inside the 'torque tube,' which is what measures power inside the hub. This means it still has the impressive +/- 1.5% accuracy of the older hubs. It still transmits an ANT+ signal, so any computer head unit that reads the signal can translate it into power, speed, torque, and virtual cadence. (Note: the older CycleOps Cervo head unit is not compatible with ANT+ power signals.)
The PowerTap G3C Wireless Hub is Black and is available with spoke drillings for 20, 24, 28, and 32 spokes. The spoke hole diameter is 2.5mm, so it is compatible with conventional round, double-butted, and most modern oval-bladed spokes. The flange diameter is 57mm on both sides. The hub center-to-flange measurement is 38mm for the non-drive side and 17.4mm for the drive side. It's available with a Campagnolo or Shimano/SRAM compatible freehub body. Should you purchase a wheel and need the other style, be aware that they can be swapped easily. After switching freehub bodies, the wheel will not need to be re-dished. The hub rolls on a 15mm-diameter aluminum alloy axle. Along with the hub, you'll get user instructions and the special tool for the end cap on the hub.
Please Note: The G3C Hub does not come with a skewer.

is it fit for Compag Zonda 700 wheel ( 21 spokes ) on Shinmano Ultegra 10 speed ??
The Campagnolo Zonda wheels with their 21 spokes are unique, and not something that is commonly replicated outside of Fulcrum and Campagnolo wheels. Unfortunately, there are no spoke patterns drilled into Cycleops hubs offered for the 21 spoke Campagnolo hubs. That said, this would be great when paired to something like an ENVE, Reynolds, Zipp, Mavic, or HED Rim.

Is the sram hub body 11 speed compatible?
The SRAM/SHIMANO configuration of this hub is compatible with 11 speed cassettes from both Shimano Di2 and Mechanical groups as well as RED 22 or Force 22.

I actually have a bit of hope.
Mistakes made last night? Certainly. However...
- There were not forced passes, I counted 1 - maybe 2.
- Running game - fantabulous. Especially in the 2nd half.
- AA "getting a little help from his friends" down near the goal line, shoving him closer to paydirt.
- Mr. Arnaud, you finally saw your running back streaking down the sidelines and hit him - wasn't that fun?
- Ballzy and effective running the same play in succession, sometimes 3 or 4 times in a row. Most demoralizing thing you can do to a team if effective.
- Hamilton is finally showing why he can/should be this team's #1 WR.
- While Army is really one dimensional (running) defense did a solid job. I thought our ends would get spun around alot with the triple O but they held their own
- Much better job tackling, although this still is a big area for improvement
- Biggest play given up was for 30 yards. Biggest run was for a little under 20. I'll take that.
- Brandtner. 'Nuff said.
- "Money" Mahoney!
- No punt drops - yay!
- No turnovers - double yay!
- Responding to Army's scoring drives quickly (except for their early FG). GW drive was the one to start the 2nd half, IMO.
I'm still concerned about these items...
- ARob's what looked to be hammy
- Depth
- AA continuing to take what the defense gives him instead of forcing things
- Herman making run first, pass second. IMO he's still too quick to go to the air for this team, at this time.
- Receives getting separation
- Going 3/11 on 3rd down
- Giving up 100% of the 4th down conversions
- Stupid, idiotic, dumb, moronic, inexcusable personal foul penalties. I was absolutely livid over both, especially the late block on special teams after we had great field position.
- Gotta wrap up on defense, boys
- Still not much pressure on the QB
- Can't miss that gimme FG, Mahoney
- Not being able to put teams away
Before the season, I certainly would have taken a 3-1 start. Now, IMO, we played very poorly in those first 3 games - even though we won two - we certainly did not look good. However, last night we looked much better.
In order for this team to go 4-1 and then get...well...who knows...we MUST make sure this offense runs through ARob first and foremost. And only after the defense is stacking against the run do we look to "air it out". And I've heard the stats about year 1 vs year 2 at Rice for Herman...blah, blah, blah. As long as ARob is here (and we bring back virtually the entire offense, including the line) - this should be a team that seeks to run the ball upwards of 40+ times per game. We hit 43 carries last night and ARob had 21. Recipe for success.
Oddly enough, the defense continues to not slit our throats, which is really the amazing thing. Are they good/dependable? Not yet. But so far, the offense has been more of the problem than our defense - by a mile. Kudos boys.
I was mildly looking forward to our road trips to KC and Lawrence the next two weekends, until last night. IMO, the K-State game is still a toss-up (one we aught to win though) and I think KU is better than we are, but beatable. Both should be fun games and I'm certainly stoked to see 'em in person now.
I just hope the players stay grounded with this 3-1 start (and there is plenty to stay grounded about) and fans realize we probably got one more game this season that causes all of us to go WTF?!?. Still cautious about this team, but for now a good home win cures most ails.
Biggest concern = ARob. Strained groin. Could be nagging him rest of the year. Hope not or we are SOL.
Okay, I am as happy as anyone and I know this board is a lovefest for the Clones today as it usually is after a win or meltdown city after a loss and it feels good to be 3-1...
But, I am very glad to see CPR's reactions to the game, he still knows we really haven't accomplished anything yet and that we have a LONG way to go. I have said it before and I will say it again. Kansas State in arrowhead next week is the most important game of our season, I believe this team needs to show it's a new team that can turn those close losses to close wins.
I'm not trying to take stuff away from the Cyclones right now, but we've beaten NDSU, Kent State, and Army. Yeah it's good to have 3 wins through 4 games having had 3 and 2 win seasons under that idiot that used to be our coach. But I am glad CPR is ready to start preparing the buses for bowl games.
Be happy with the win today Cyclones, but still a lot to prove...
The biggest thing I noticed yesterday was taking care of the ball. I saw one pass where it looked like Austen forced a ball he shouldn't have and that was to Collin Franklin. Austen still needs to work on the whole touch on his passes to the flats. He looks like he has Tarvaris Jackson syndrome. Instead of just throwing the pass to where the receiver can get to it, he tries rifling everything and ends up wide. I'm not saying he should lob it over there, but throwing it 96 if you can't put it somewhere the receiver can get to it doesn't work.
Also, on 3rd and 7, DON'T RUN A 5 YARD SLANT! The receivers and Austen BOTH need to know that.
The only thing I'm concerned about right now is ARob's injury. He has been by far our best player and to have any chance against KSU we have to have him playing.

or playing less than 100% which is what I'm afraid we will get next week.

I really hope its not a hamstring injury. If it is we probably won't see him at full strength the rest of the season.

It was a groin injury.
I don't bring my own opinions, just attack others.
I'm waiting to see how we perform against a Big 12 team before I start having hope. Its nice having 3 wins right now, but we could still end up getting clobbered the rest of the way out, especially if A-Rob's injury is a nagging type.
If we thrash K-State next weekend, then I'll start having hope. K-State is not good. Neither are we. But we're going to find out which team is on the upswing next Saturday.

Correct...and a groin injury is every bit as nagging as a hamstring.
I'll be shocked if this isn't hampering him this coming weekend.
Much hope goes south if ARob is out for any amount of significant time or is slowed quite a bit. The guy is vital to our running game and vastly underutilized in the passing attack.

It could be a wonderful opportunity for one of the other RBs to step up and grab the opportunity. In particular, the one that hasn't seen the field yet this year...

I have hope in the sense that I think we have a long-term coach that can build us into being competitive in the North down the road, but I still only see another 2 wins this year.
We looked good this week but we were playing a pretty bad team in comparison to those that we want to look good against. We didn't beat ourselves last night, which is a great change, but we hardly looked like a team that has much of a chance of hanging within 30 of OU, TX or Okie State. Even in our North, I would say Colorado is the only team we're "better" than, though K-State possibly as well. Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska could all hang 40 on us and I still think our fans far overstate our offensive abilities.
Not being a downer, just realistic. We're a 4-6 win team just as most thought we were coming into the year. That is a great improvement over last year but even if we continue to develop, people better be ready for a big step backwards in total wins the next two years due to the brutal schedules.
Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.
ISU MBB: Bigger than a single person, player, or coach.
Doubling our win total from last year would be a great start into turning this thing around!

Carrie Underwood Slams The Sound Of Music Haters!
by Daily Dish
posted Dec 9 2013 6:00AM
SNL is bringing the funny again! Comedic veteran Kristen Wiig returned to the show that made her a household name to reprise the role of Denise… and she even made her appearance in the
Sound of Music
spoof that opened the episode! Kristen Wiig played one of the Von Trapp children, who had some interesting incites into the musical's iconic songs.
he Sound of Music Live
aired on NBC on Thursday to a large viewership but mixed reviews. I think they did a good job though poking fun at all the hype!
Date night! And a much needed one at that for Adele and her boyfriend Simon Konecki. We almost NEVER see Adele anymore, and finally she took a night off from baby duty to go watch Lady Gaga perform an intimate set at a members-only club in London. Adele snuck into the event through a back door with her boyfriend and spent time hanging out with Sting and designer Philip Treacy while enjoying dinner in the back of the room. Onlookers said that Adele seemed very happy to be out and that the couple was very affectionate.
My question is when will she be back to the music?!
Talk about a fantastic FAN experience! Kim Kardashian made one teen very, very happy when she invited the girl and her friend to sit with her in the VIP section at her fiancé, Kanye West's Yeezus concert in New Orleans. The fan tweeted before the show that she was looking for Kim Kardashian in the crowd. Seeing the tweet, Kim Kardashian decided to tweet back and wrote, "I'm sending someone to go get you so you can come sit with me!! Need your seat # & section. DM me ASAP!!!" The rest of the incredible night was shown through the fan's Twitter account, where the fan said that Kim Kardashian's security came to get her and her friend. When they got to the VIP section... Kim Kardashian immediately stood up and waved for them, even took a picture with her. At the end of the concert, Kim Kardashian invited the teen and her friend to go backstage to meet Kanye West. " It's not everyday you see Kim Kardashian doing something for her fans! What a cool story!
Kelly Clarkson is mad and wants to put an end to every cheating rumor out there that her husband Brandon Blackstock is cheating on her! So Kelly Clarkson took to her Twitter account, tweeting,."Keep hearing random rumors of me & Brandon splitting or that's he's cheating on me. Stop with all the lying please. False rumors don't bother me & Brandon but they do affect the lives of our 12 & 7 yr old. They're kids & don't get that people can print lies." The rumors were going around that two women had an affair with Brandon Blackstock since he's been with Kelly Clarkson. Now she's pregnant with their first child and has pretty much adopted his two children from his previous marriage. Maybe now everyone can let it go! It's not cool to mess with people's lives!
Stand up for yourself Carrie Underwood! The
American Idol
winner is responding to the large amount of criticism she received following her Sound Of Music Live! performance as Maria von Trapp. She tweeted, "Plain and simple: Mean people need Jesus," a day after the live special. "They will be in my prayers tonight... 1 Peter 2:1-25," she added. You can't blame her for getting a bit upset. Even the von Trapp family was critical of Carrie Underwood appearing in the original Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Myles von Trapp Derbyshire, the great-grandson of Maria von Trapp, expressed his disapproval after learning about the casting decision almost a year ago, saying, "It's just upsetting that this could potentially be the final broadcast of our story. And although her voice is amazing, she doesn't have acting experience…It's just the overall image, she's a country star, she won
American Idol
, she's very public in kind of a tabloid way." The family preferred Anne Hathaway for the role. Kym Karath, who played the youngest child, Gretl Von Trapp in the 1965 musical film even tweeted, "Love Carrie Underwood but this role is just not right for her. She is lovely her voice is beautiful but acting is wrong." Negative feelings aside, the three-hour broadcast, brought in HUGE RATINGS! Over 18.5 million people watched! I didn't think she was that bad!
Looks like the show will go on!
Fast and Furious 7
director James Wan has confirmed that although production has been halted, the cast and crew will finish up the film in its entirety. When James Wan was asked about the fate of the movie, my sources are telling me that he said there will be, "No change. People are still dealing with it" when it comes to the death of Paul Walker but that "studio is trying to do the right thing while keeping the franchise going as well." Earlier this week, Universal Pictures announced in a statement they would be shutting down production on the franchise after Paul Walker's tragic death. Right now, they are fully dedicated to providing support to Paul Walker's immediate family, friends and his extended family of cast, crew and filmmakers. Paul Walker had played the role of Brian O'Conner in the first six films of The Fast And The Furious franchise. What do you think? Did they make the right choice in moving forward with production?
This is just crazy! Is Lindsay Lohan in the middle of a celebrity beat-down? That's what Paris Hilton's brother, Barron Hilton is claiming! Barron Hilton was partying at a Miami mansion over the weekend when he says that Lindsay Lohan accused him of talking trash about her and then she had a male friend beat him up! Barron Hilton was left bloodied with multiple cuts to his face. My sources are telling me that the injuries are so bad that Paris Hilton's brother was advised to get medical treatment right away! Barron Hilton was taken to a hospital for various emergency treatments, including a CT scan. Lindsay Lohan and her father Michael Lohan deny that she was involved in the incident at all. The only issue, there's video that proves otherwise! Paris Hilton has a message for Lindsay Lohan and the guy who allegedly put Paris' younger brother in the hospital as well… saying, "They both will pay for what they did. No one messes with my family and gets away with it!!" SHE MEANS BUSINESS! If I were Lindsay Lohan, I'd be scared!

Tabatha's Salon Takeover: Bang Salon
November 24, 2009 09:46 PM by Lisa Princ
Tonight on Tabatha's Salon Takeover on BRAVO Tabatha Coffey travels to Ft Lauderdale Florida to Bang Salon, which is in desperate need of help. The salon's delusional owner cannot seem to see that his own juvenile behavior is the reason the salon is failing to thrive. Between his foul language, crude sexual jokes and lack of respect for his customers, it's no wonder they never return. Tabatha really has her work cut out for her this week, will she be able to save this salon from demise?
Before even entering Bang Salon tonight on Tabatha's Salon Takeover on BRAVO Tabatha views some video surveillance she has taken of the salon and immediately can see what the biggest problem this place has is – it's owner, Darren Anselmo. This guy is so lewd and crude it's no wonder none of his clients return. He lacks respect for his clients, shouting obscenities and sexual remarks across the salon. He spends his entire day there drinking while he works, and I'm not talking about water here, he literally walks around the salon drunk as a skunk. He even went as far as to comment on another staff member's breasts and write the word slut on the back of a client's head in hair color.
The salon itself is in complete disarray. Tabatha finds everything from bottled urine on a shelf to a dildo, yes you heard me correctly, in Darren's work station. The staff has no where to eat or take a break aside from over the garbage can, and the fridge is full of booze. Tabatha is disgusted to find 2 inches worth of dust on the shelf directly above the customer's beverage station. She has seen enough and is ready to begin her takeover asap.
Tabatha then speaks with the staff alone about this behavior. She is not surprised to learn that most of them are appalled by Darren's behavior and would quit if they could get another job, with the exception of his assistant who acts more like his partner in crime, feeding him to act like a child. She also learns that he is completely different around his wife and children, so Tabatha decides to take Darren to his daughter's school where she wants Darren to give a demonstration of what a stylist does. All the while, it was a lesson for Darren on how to be serious and stop acting like a child.
Darren has finally seen the error of his ways and now realizes how serious the situation is on Tabatha's Salon Takeover on BRAVO. After a little work on Darren and the staff and a complete renovation of the salon's interior, including removing all the inappropriate items Tabatha is confident that this salon can be saved. On reopening day the changes in Darren's behavior are amazing, he is a completely different person as are his staff.
Being one of the worst cases she had ever seen, this was one of the easiest turnarounds she has done. When she decides to stop back for a visit, she is amazed that everything has remained as she left it. The staff is professional, Darren's behavior has remained mature, and their business is booming again. Another successful takeover for Tabatha!
Be sure to tune in next Tuesday at 10 for an all new episode of Tabatha's Salon Takeover on BRAVO. See you after the show!

Small feature request question here, and I'm interested to see if it's only me that would ever find benefit from this function.
I've recieved an email from a company confirming a delivery, this company sends out attached to that email, an ics file containing the details. I can save that attachment, the go to preferences and import/export, and browse to the file, and import the .ics to the calendar and then Boom! the appointment for the delivery now appears in my calendar - which is nice.
It'd be nicer though if I could click on the attachment while reading the email and have the appointment added to the calendar, rather than taking the file out and putting it back in.
Has anyone else ever wanted this, would it be useful to anyone, or am I just being lazy ? :)

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Congress is on recess. Sequestration cuts are less than two weeks away. Area workers are facing down an uncertain financial future, including possible furloughs and pay cuts. This sequence of events have a lot of you pretty upset.
That's why WUSA 9 started a petition to let Congress know how you feel. We are asking; Should Congress Be Penalized If Federal Workers are Furloughed Due to Sequestration?
You are speaking out in large numbers with impassioned positions. Over 800 letters have been written so far.
A comments from Virginia's 8th District: "Instead of taking a vacation, Congress should be forced to stay and come up with a solution that can be voted on."
Maryland's 5th District has been the most vocal part of the country thus far: "Why should some of the highest paid with the best benefits be exempt from a problem that they created."
We've all been following the sequestration driven furloughs because it will impact our region more heavily than most. One WUSA 9 viewer has suggested that Congress "get a taste of their own medicine."
Unless Congress acts by March 1st, "sequestration" - a series of automatic, across-the-board cuts - will take effect.
While some federal spending cuts were made as part of the deal to avoid the Fiscal Cliff at the beginning of the year, Congress must once again consider whether to take action to reduce the deficit or allow the deep, automatic cuts.
The Office of Management and Budget indicates that "there's no way to implement the sequester without significant furloughs of hundreds of thousands of federal employees."
Some have suggested that if federal workers are furloughed because of those automatic cuts, Members of Congress should also be furloughed one day each week or not receive pay until they come to a decision on cutting federal spending and reducing the deficit.
By supporting, you'll be telling Congress that should the automatic cuts occur, and federal workers are furloughed, then Members of Congress too should be furloughed or not receive pay. By opposing, you'll be telling Congress that you oppose furloughs or pay cuts for Members of Congress.
The petition with our partner POPVOX.com helps you write an online letter and delivers it to your representatives on Capitol Hill. It is touching a nerve in other parts of the country as well, with letters written in starts such as Colorado, Texas, California, Washington, even Hawaii.

Cyclones Score Huge Road Win At BYU, 90-88
PROVO, Utah – Daniel Edozie blocked Tyler Haws' shot with three seconds left to help No. 21 Iowa State (4-0) preserve a 90-88 win over BYU (4-1) Wednesday night in Provo, Utah. The final minute was frantic for the Cyclones, playing the last 60 ticks without their three star players: DeAndre Kane (ejection), Melvin Ejim (fouled out) and Dustin Hogue (fouled out).
However, sophomore Georges Niang scored three clutch baskets in the final three minutes to keep the Cougars at bay and help the Cyclones record the impressive road victory. It was just the 12th home loss for BYU in the last eight years.
Ejim and Kane both had 21 points in the victory, while Niang chipped in with 19 points.
Keys of the Game
A 19-6 run by the Cougars early in the first half gave the home team a 12-point lead at 36-24. The run was ignited by three-straight buckets by Matt Carlino.
The Cougars still had an 11-point advantage (43-32) late in the first stanza until the Cyclones rattled off 10-straight points behind a pair of triples from Ejim to cut the BYU lead to just one point at 43-42.
BYU went into the break with a 47-42 advantage after Carlino hit a basket at the buzzer, his 12th of the opening period. Ejim had 13 points to lead the Cyclones.
The Cyclones went on an impressive run en route to their first lead of the second half. Matt Thomas buried a deep trey to put ISU up 78-77 with 5:48 left in the game, then an Ejim hoop and a Hogue basket underneath capped off the 20-7 ISU run to increase the Cyclone lead to 82-77.
However, a critical play soon occurred when Kane was called for a flagrant-two foul and was ejected. Haws then buried four-straight free-throws to make it 82-81 ISU with 3:18 remaining.
Niang then came to the rescue with a pair of hoops to put ISU back up by five points, as the Cyclones never relinquished the lead the rest of the way.
Discuss it now. Visit our Facebook page to have your say on the turning point of today's game.
