Brawley players carry friend's legacy
Innocent victim of gang violence made impact on teammates, coaches and their town
BRAWLEY Abraham Lopez stood in the shadows, waiting for his name to be announced. His right knee ached. His temples were beginning to throb.
The gym looked like it always did before wrestling meets at Brawley High. The lights were switched off, except for a small cluster casting a dramatic glow on the center of the floor. Spectators sat in the bleachers in semi-darkness. Cheerleaders knelt at the edge of the mat, pom-poms glittering in their hands.
But tonight was different.
The pre-meet introductions, typically booming, had been subdued. The stands were full, yet quiet. The cheerleaders' cries of encouragement seemed far away.
It was Wednesday, January 9, and even as he stepped onto the mat Abraham was reflecting on the weekend's tragic event, the murder of a 17-year-old Brawley senior named Martin Garza.
Abraham moved toward the center ring. So did his opponent. The other wrestler was at least three inches taller, and during the weigh-in he'd stared down at Abraham for several tense seconds.
The blood in Abraham's temples continued to thump. He'd been waiting all day for this match.
Just steps away, obscured by the shadows on the edge of the spotlight, was an easel holding a framed photo of Martin in his football uniform.
Abraham drew in a breath. This one was for his friend.
Walk into the Hacienda Snack Bar any given day around lunchtime, and you're bound to see the same thing. Here, a mile from the Brawley High campus, locals meet to talk over chicken tacos and meat loaf covered in gravy.
They talk about many things, about work in the nearby sugar beet fields, about an unemployment rate that hovers around 25 percent, about the recent fires that appear to be an arsonist's handiwork.
One subject, though, comes up more than the rest: Brawley High sports. Leading, of course, with Friday night football.
The Hacienda is an unassuming small-town hangout, sandwiched between one-story houses on a residential street in this farming community of 25,000. The carne asada here is among the best in the Imperial Valley. So is the sweet tea.
Besides the menu, people come here for the atmosphere. Photos of Brawley football, baseball, soccer and wrestling teams line the walls. A few former Wildcats have their own special places among the décor, athletes like San Francisco Giants closer Sergio Romo and Houston Texans linebacker Mike Mohamed.
Abraham Lopez and Martin Garza loved the Hacienda. Every Thursday during the fall, the Brawley football team gathered here to discuss the next day's game while hunkering down over burritos, french fries and other carbo-loaded staples. Martin especially enjoyed a half-pound cheeseburger topped with bacon and guacamole.
"He would take this giant bite," says nose guard Christtian Gonzales, "and after he'd take it there'd be ketchup hanging off his chin."
For Martin, the place was an odd mix of pride and anticipation. After all, the Hacienda is Brawley.
It represents everything the town has ever been. The old men who haven't missed a football game in decades and the crowds of thousands caravanning to San Diego for playoff games. The youth baseball teams churning out prospects for Mexican winter leagues, a half-hour down the road. The wrestling team that recently won its 19th straight Imperial Valley League title and 13th consecutive San Diego Section championship.
But the Hacienda also represents everything Brawley will be: The people who, by choice or by necessity, stay and make their lives in the desert.
That scared Martin a little. He loved Brawley, but he dreamed of leaving.
By the time Martin was a senior, the routine had become second-nature. Wake before sunrise. Drive to school. Then work your butt off.

Reviews for Chocolate Angel Food Cake with Raspberry Sauce
"This recipe was unavailable to view for a while and after contacting ToH they got it back up for me. I prefer recipes from scratch, but this is quick - why it was first published in Quick Cooking. Just in case there are those that have never made an angel food cake before - it is best to have a designated tube pan for only angel food cakes as they will not rise properly if the sides of the pan have any grease/oil/butter. For those that haven't seen it the chocolate angel food cake recipe sent out June 9/2011 under the heading Father's Day Favorites is a good comparison - from scratch - and a number of useful comments are with it now.Regi from north of Huntsville, Ontario, Canada"
"I will definitly make this again. It was simple to make and absolutely delicious It's hard to believe that it's so light."
"Directions are unclear are you supposed to mix up the angel food cake according to the box instructions and then add the cocoa and boiling water? Can someone help?Baker mom"
"Mine fell flat too. I've thought about it and couldn't figure a reason for it. I threw it away because it looked so unappetizing. Does anyone have any suggestions?"
"Did anyone have trouble getting the cake to rise when cooking? Mine only came up about 3 in. and then fell. Could it be the cake mix or adding the cocoa?Chris Ont."

|The Addict's Mom
|Written by Barbara Theodosiou
Ask the Addict's Mom: Why did you start The Addict's Mom?
Question posed to Barbara Theodosiou, founder of The Addict's Mom.
When I discovered my two sons were using drugs, my life fell apart. For months I felt this isolation, this desperation and unbearable heartache. I couldn't function, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't work; all I did was focus on my two sons.
My family suffered, my friendships suffered, I even walked away from a very successful business I had started. Nothing was as important as being with my sons, but I was so confused and full of pain myself, it took me some time to put my thoughts and life back together again.
As I lay in my bed of heartache and solitude, I kept thinking, why doesn't anyone care? Why doesn't anyone understand? Yet, deep inside I knew I couldn't be the only mom suffering. Deep inside I knew there had to be others going through the same emotional pain that I was.
I questioned, how were other addicts' moms dealing with pain of having a child suffering from addiction? I wanted to create a place for all addicts' moms to gather. A safe place where they would have the freedom to share their anguish without the burden of shame and guilt that comes with having an addicted child.

1970 Plymouth Barracuda - Sinister FishWritten by on February 1, 2009 Contributors: Jerry Heasley Bill Ewell Puts An Evil Spin On His '70 'Cuda
The E-Body has reached "exotic" status in the Mopar family. Their prices are soaring, and the cars are in high demand. In recent times, shops have been pumping out some crazy modified Challengers and 'Cudas. One look at Bill Ewell's '70 'Cuda and you might assume that it's just another shop car. But when you find out that his hands were involved in every part of the build and that most of the work was done in his driveway, you'll know you assumed wrong.
Bill has owned many A- and B-Bodies since he was in high school. he was never really a fan of the E-Body, but they eventually grew on him over the years. In early 1998, he began looking for an E-Body. He searched from California to New Jersey, but nothing came up. Then a coworker told him about one stored in his neighbor's garage. Bill remembered seeing the white 'Cuda around town a few times, but it wasn't for sale, so he just continued to drive his '69 340 Swinger. Several months went by, and he heard from a friend that there was a white '70 'Cuda for sale. He knew there was only one white one in town, so he called his coworker to get the scoop. It turned out the 'Cuda was now for sale, so Bill went and purchased it that day. It was clean, numbers-matching, and powered by a 383 backed by a four-speed.
Bill drove the 'Cuda for about a year until the clutch started slipping. Being the gearhead that he is, he knew this was a great time to do a full restoration. Every car starts with a dream or a vision, and he was dreaming big. He felt that Plymouth hit the nail on the head with the looks of the 'Cuda, and he wanted his car to have the same look with just some minor cosmetic changes.
"I wanted to lower it, put modern wheels on it, and go over the top with performance," Bill says.
After some debate about what color to paint the car, a friend suggested black. "What's better than a triple-black 'Cuda? Nothing!" Bill exclaims. From that day on, the car was known as Black Betty. That name choice took on an eerie element because almost every time they worked on the car, that song, performed by Ram Jam, would play on the radio.
Well, you can't make a car look evil unless you match those looks by putting in an equally menacing powerplant under the hood. The latest trend was to install a new fuel-injected Hemi, but Bill wanted to be different. Shortly after getting started on his project, the opportunity to buy a 451 stroker came up. His buddy, Bobby Reese, had a 451 short-block sitting in his shop for one of his race cars. Bill persuaded Bobby to sell him the engine so he could put it in his 'Cuda. Together, they built the engine into a total screamer and put a Tremec TKO five-speed behind it.
For the body, Bill enlisted the help of his friend Zeke Ballinger, who had restored several cars and was up to the task of paint and bodywork. For several years, they worked on the car in Bill's driveway, getting all the little things fixed and attaching the car to a rotisserie. Zeke sprayed it down with PPG and U-Tech basecoat and clearcoat, which was followed by 65 hours of wet sanding and polishing by Bill. "I have learned so much about paint since doing this project. there's nothing like learning on a black car," says Bill.
After the paint was finished, things slowed down while Bill went through a divorce. He feared the car might have to go, and he would never be able to finish it. But, thankfully, he was able to keep the car and complete his project.
A small wrench was thrown into his plans for a black-on-black look for his low-slung 'Cuda when he was experimenting with colors over chrome. Bill was mesmerized by red, but he didn't want to stray from his black-on-black vision. When it came time for a wheel choice, a friend suggested that he do a set in red and a set in black-something that would be totally unorthodox. he liked the idea, which gained support when he thought back to the old cars that would run mismatched wheels. So he went through with it and couldn't be happier. "Some hate it; some love it. I love it, and that's all that matters," he says. He does get questions about it a lot, but he just laughs and acts like he's colorblind.
The 'Cuda was finished in early 2007. its first show was the '07 Mopars at the Strip in Las Vegas, where it was a big hit. they even invited him to display the car at the Cannery Casino. Black Betty took home first place in the E-Body Modified class and won Best of Show (Modified).
Bill continues to attend shows, but he really wants to get out and drive the car more. "There is no fun in building them if you can't enjoy them," he says. Building cars in your driveway is never easy, but building them any other way isn't nearly as rewarding. This sinister-looking fish was made to drive.
Fast Facts
'70 Plymouth 'Cuda
Bill Ewell, Colorado Springs, Co
Mopar Power
Engine: A 451 ci ensures that this 'Cuda isn't just a looker and that it moves out, too. It was assembled by Bob Reese with the assistance of Bill. A steel stroker crankshaft, Mopar .600-lift camshaft with Crane 1.6:1 rocker arms, and ported aluminum Edelbrock cylinder heads provide the power. TTI 1 7/8-inch headers with 3-inch collectors evacuate the exhaust from the big-block and feed it into tti 3-inch pipes and Flowmaster mufflers.Fuel, Air, Spark: The big-block is fed by a Demon 750 carburetor and a Holley Street Dominator intake manifold. A complete MSD ignition system with M.A.D. Enterprises upgrades to the wiring harness and charging system.
Transmission: A Tremec TKO 5-speed offers superior performance, comfort, and drivability over the factory four-speed.Rearend: A beefy sure grip Dana 60 with 4.10 gears.
Sure Grip
Suspension: The front now features Firm Feel upper control arms, factory lower control arms, aluminum strut rods, and .960 torsion bars. For the rear, ESPO custom springs are used to lower the ride height 1 inch. Bringing the E-Body to a halt are 11 3/4-inch factory front power discs with vented and slotted rotors and TSM 11-inch rear discs with vented and slotted rotors.
Rims & Rubber: Coy's C-5s measure 18x8 up front and 18x9.5 in the rear. Bill had the fronts painted red; the rears remain true to his black theme. Modern day rubber gives this fish all its grip with BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW tires. The front tires are 245/45ZR18s, and the rears are 285/40ZR18s.
High Impact
Paint & Body: Zeke Ballinger can be credited for spraying down this black beauty, while Bill assisted with the bodywork, wet sanding, and polishing. It now features a shaker hoodscoop and flat-black hockey stripes on the rear fenders.
Interior: Bill didn't want to follow the trends of custom interior 'Cudas, so his retains a factory appearance with subtle changes that are hard to identify. The factory seats have been recovered and are six-way adjustable. The Rallye Dash has an updated tach and clock; a Pioneer CD player and speakers make up the audio system. Other interior renovations include new black carpet from ACC, a pedal dress-up kit, a Pistol Grip shifter, and a new Rim Blow steering wheel.

One of the first things people notice are the different colored wheels. Bill liked the red ones so much that he had to have them on his car, but he didn't want to break away from his triple-black theme, so the rear ones were painted black.With the shaker scoop removed, it's still hard to tell the 383 was replaced with a 451. A set of ported Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads and a Holley Street Dominator intake manifold help the big-block take in as much air as it demands. To get it all out, a set of tti 1 7/8-inch headers do the trick.

Burger King's former CEO John Chidsey has helped launch Red Book Connect, a cloud-based technology platform to help restaurant operators run their businesses more smoothly.
The platform joins industry leaders Red Book Solutions, MacromatiX, My Recruiting Center, HotSchedules and SchooX to offer best-in-class technology with the financial firepower of global investment firm TPG, Chidsey said.
"Our community is starved for a single-source platform like Red Book Connect to run more effective and efficient operations across single and multi-location organizations," said Chidsey, who is serving as the executive chairman. "Combined under one brand, Red Book Connect is now the largest cloud-based technology solutions company in the industry. By acquiring or partnering with additional industry leaders in the future, we are committed to meeting our customers' evolving needs with the latest technology and solutions."
The offerings of the combined companies will help managers solve complex managerial challenges, increase operational efficiency and improve profitability. Many of the most common management tasks, including hiring application processing, labor scheduling, recruiting and onboarding, and inventory management, have historically been accomplished through disparate systems or manually implemented processes. With the creation of Red Book Connect, all of these activities will be consolidated into one integrated platform.
The solutions that make up Red Book Connect include:
Red Book Solutions: A provider of management playbooks for more than 20 years, with a complete suite of tools designed to help individual units realize their performance objectives by addressing consistency around task management, communication, key metric evaluation, crisis management and training. Red Book Solutions serves 75 percent of the top 20 quick-service restaurants, 80 percent of the top restaurant chain management companies, and 100 percent of the top 10 largest hotel chains — reaching more than 325,000 managers in more than 100,000 locations across the globe. Within this new endeavor, Red Book Solutions' flagship tool, The Manager's Red Book, will be offered in a new digital format in 2013 in response to client demand, along with the popular print version.
MacromatiX: A provider of cloud-based retail and hospitality management solutions designed to increase productivity and operational excellence, including the MacromatiX Retail Operating System, a complete inventory and supply chain management tool.
My Recruiting Center: A comprehensive pre-employment SaaS platform designed for smaller businesses, which provides access to products and solutions typically available only to large enterprises.
HotSchedules: Through its minority ownership of HotSchedules, Red Book Connect offers HotSchedules' suite of intuitive mobile and Web-based shift scheduling, forecasting and digital hiring solutions that streamline the employee scheduling process, and help reduce labor costs and increase employee retention, reaching 850,000 active users with 23 million monthly logins. Its mobile apps are consistently rated by AppToday as one of the Top 10 Business Apps.
SchooX: Red Book Connect also has an agreement to deliver SchooX's online social learning platform, which offers a wide range of courses developed by expert knowledge providers from both within and outside an organization. The environment can be adjusted to reflect a company's curriculum structure in their own Corporate Academy. For example, restaurants, hotels and other franchises can simply and affordably provide a continuous learning and training platform to all of their employees and locations, helping to boost compliance, training, succession programs and self-learning.
The Red Book Connect Board of Directors consists of William McGlashan and Ransom Langford (TPG Growth), John Chidsey (Red Book Connect), Cam Lanier (Instawares Holding) and Ray Pawlikowski (HotSchedules).

We are deploying a java web application in Elastic Beanstalk. The Beanstalk by default provides Redhat instances with Tomcat7 & openjdk. But i want to customize the instances so that i can use Sunjdk. Followed the steps as mentioned here, I launched a new instance from EC2 & installed sun jdk, tomcat7 and created a custom AMI of the instance and provided its ID in Custom AMI id field in edit Environment configuration in BeanStalk. But my Environment Health status is changing to RED, and the application is not deployed. Can you please suggest me a solution for this.
I have done exactly what you want to do, and am happy to report that it works. In my first attempts I encountered the same issue. Make sure that you:
If you still can't get it, make sure you check the logs in /opt/tomcat7/logs/catalina.out - I hit a mysterious VerifyException that was resolved by uploading a new .jar to the environment, and I also ran out of permgen space almost immediately, which was resolved by upping the values in the 'Container' configuration area of the beanstalk 'edit configuration'.

I tend to doodle during my lectures, which means the back end of my notebook is filled with random stuff, maps being one of them. I don't usually do anything with them, but this one I rather liked. It's a map of the grounds of the castle 'De Haar' in the Netherlands. It's not 100% correct because I drew it from memory, but I think I came quite close, considering.
I don't have a scanner, so I took a photo of the map and cleaned it up a bit in photoshop. It's still a bit messy, but I think it's all right. Also, I drew on lined paper, which is obviously not the best if you want to digitalize...
These are the grounds as seen with Google maps:

Aleem contributed 11 points off the bench as the Bulls posted their fourth
straight win.

Bieber unplugged
Justin Bieber continues to break records
As Justin Bieber continues to entertain the masses both on and off stage, the self-proclaimed Prince of Pop continues to break records, as the 18-year-old Biebs now has five number one albums before the age of 19.
Justin Bieber gropes woman's breast at meet and greet
His latest album "Believe Acoustic" has soared to number one in its first week of sales.
"With this week's incredible success of 'Believe Acoustic', Justin continues to impress everyone with the magnitude of his artistry," said Steve Bartels, President & COO, Island Def Jam Music Group. "His vision for 'Believe Acoustic' was an organic extension of his growth as a musician on tour and in the studio, consummately devoted to his fans. The album reflects an artist who is not afraid to step outside of every stereotype, regardless of his age. Congratulations, Justin."
"Believe Acoustic" shot to number one on iTunes in over 63 countries, including the U.S., and according to Billboard this makes him only the "tenth act to score a number one album in four consecutive years." The top three artists who have accomplished consecutive years with a number one album are Jay-Z (7 years), the Beatles (6 years), and Paul McCartney/Wings (5 years).
"Believe Acoustic" offers acoustic versions of eight songs from Justin's worldwide multi-platinum #1 album of 2012, "Believe," including hits "Boyfriend," "As Long As You Love Me" (featuring Big Sean), and "Beauty And A Beat" (featuring Nicki Minaj). All acoustic tracks were co-produced by Justin Bieber and his guitarist Dan Kanter.
With Bieber's fame and fortune at such an early age it's not surprising that the pop-star has had a few slips in the public eye. There are several not-so-shining examples such as his "accidently" posting a photo of his bare butt on Instagram, photos showing up of him smoking pot, and most recently a meet and greet photo of him groping a woman's breast.
Just recently Bieber saw his Twitter account overtake Lady Gaga's as his followers climbed to over 33.9 million.
The Bieber Nation has to be proud of their favorite pop-artist as he heads to New York to tape NBC's Saturday Night Live as host and musical guest this weekend.

About the Show
These days, families come in all forms - single dads, double moms, sperm donors, egg donors, one-night-stand donors... It's 2012 and anything goes. Bryan (Andrew Rannells, "Girls," "The Book of Mormon") and David (Justin Bartha, "The Hangover") are a Los Angeles couple, and they have it all. Well, almost. With successful careers and a committed, loving partnership, there is one thing that this couple is missing: a baby. And just when they think the stars will never align, enter Goldie (Georgia King, "One Day"), an extraordinary young woman with a checkered past. A Midwestern waitress and single mother looking to escape her dead-end life and small-minded grandmother (Emmy and Tony Award-winner Ellen Barkin), Goldie decides to change everything and move to L.A. with her precocious eight-year-old daughter. Desperate and broke - but also fertile - Goldie quickly becomes the guys' surrogate and quite possibly the girl of their dreams. Surrogate mother, surrogate family.

ATA chief Graves says despite its many challenges, trucking sector is well-positioned for future
October 09, 2012
It is well known that the trucking industry faces many challenges and obstacles. That is pretty much an understatement.
And at this week's American Trucking Associations (ATA) annual Management Conference & Exhibition ATA President and CEO Bill Graves laid out all the issues on the table in a wide-ranging keynote address.
Not surprisingly, the ATA chief pointed to Washington as a major culprit for many of the industry's concerns on a few different fronts, including: a sluggish economy; a "very dysfunctional federal government"; and how the currently assembled government "isn't capable of getting the job done."
Also high on the list of trucking industry concerns were regulations, namely CSA, HOS, and EOBR.
Here is what he had to say about CSA:
"We still believe that CSA is fundamentally the program that will make travel on the nation's highways safer. But it must be implemented and managed in such a way as to instill confidence with the industry that our 'buy in' to the program will make our companies stronger and not be penalized by inaccurate data or misrepresentation by the shipping community or the media."
Harsh? Maybe. But definitely true, save for that media part anyhow.
In addressing HOS, Graves explained that the current rule was getting the job done effectively (the new HOS rule scheduled to go into effect in mid-2013) and said the changes were the result of "political pressures brought to bear from the White House rather than the FMCSA believing further change was necessary or could be justified."
Other industry challenges cited by Graves included the truck driver shortage, the weak economic recovery, insufficient federal support for infrastructure, tolling increases, and increasing fuel prices.
Even with these various challenges, Graves said trucking is on a strong road for future growth, commenting that "the essentiality of the industry and the demand for freight movement by truck—a growing demand for freight movement by truck—is unquestioned. The long-term macro outlook for trucking has never been better, but the near-term micro view continues to be very challenging."

Thanksgiving 2009 was a memorable occasion for Mitch Paliga, jazz saxophone instructor and a member of the jazz studies faculty at North Central. A professional saxophonist in the Lt. Dan Band—founded by actor Gary Sinise and music director Kimo Williams to entertain military troops—Paliga spent his Thanksgiving vacation performing at three military bases in Afghanistan. Conditions were primitive and entering an active war zone was challenging for the 12-member band.

The 10 Most Disappointing Movies Of 2012
Looking back a year full of movies you have to remember the bad with the good. We can celebrate the best of the best and express our love and appreciation for them, but for the sake of balance its important to look back at the ones that we expected more from the ones that didnt deliver on expectations or hopes. These are the titles we see in theaters and leave saying, Man, I wish that was better.

Flight Star Kelly Reilly Talks Addiction And The Fear Of Acting With Denzel
Now that the Oscar contender is out, a name people hear repeatedly is Kelly Reilly, who holds her own alongside Washington in a remarkably complicated role and in some ways steals a spotlight away from her pedigreed co-star.

Budweiser Wants Out Of Denzel Washington's Flight
Product placement has become so prevalent that when audiences see a logo or recognize a brand name they might immediately assume the film's producers scored such an ad deal.

Weekend Box Office: Ralph Wrecks His Way To Number One
Video games took center stage in theaters this weekend as a movie chock full of classic characters dominated the number one spot. Wreck-It Ralph was the easy champion with almost $50 million.

What's this?
The Wisconsin School of Business is comprised of two state-of-the-art buildings – Grainger Hall and the Fluno Center for Executive Education – both designed to foster interaction and collaboration among students, participants, alumni and friends of every age and experience level.
Grainger Hall first opened in 1993.
A new $40.5 million east wing of Grainger Hall opened in Fall 2008 to house the Wisconsin MBA, Evening MBA and Executive MBA programs. The addition was designed specifically for the career specialization model of the Wisconsin MBA and to accomodate growing interest from working professionals. It offers enhanced space for networking, team meetings, center space, advising and mentoring.
Grainger Hall was built to meet or exceed standards for sustainability. Special features include: no net gain in storm-water runoff, high-efficiency building systems, use of recycled materials and incorporating daylight into more than 90 percent of the new space. It provides student-friendly gathering spaces and common areas, and incorporates new technology.
During the grand opening of the new wing of Grainger Hall, Past Dean Michael Knetter said, the enhanced space will "strengthen the already strong community we have among our students, faculty and staff, alumni and other leaders in business."
The original section of the building has been freed up for a variety of uses, including to centralize undergraduate services and programs and provide much-needed space for the PhD program.
The addition was possible due to a $20 million gift from The Grainger Foundation. Classrooms in the building were made possible by a gift from Jeffrey J. Diermeier, BBA '74, MBA '75, and Julie Diermeier. Daniel Huber, BBA '58, and Pat Huber, provided a gift for a new undergraduate computer lab. Additional gift funds and $10 million in general fund-supported borrowing complete the project budget.

A lot of the talk out of the SEC and their dominance over the National Championship for college football mentions their streak of wins in that game. Ask my buddy Brett, who lives with an Auburn fan (that must be REAL bad right now) SEC fans are crazy. No doubt it's been a heck of a run, and they've beaten some very good opponents that rode strong seasons to get there. But really, lets take a look back and see just what the SEC has done to these poor teams. If you look at it, other than a thumping of Oklahoma, the SEC really hasn't been beating the best competition in the country. They've been the biggest beneficiary of the lack of a playoff, in part because they'd knock eachother off, and also because they don't face the best of the best, even if they are playing a number 1 or 2 ranked team. lets go back these last 4 years and take a look.
2010 – Alabama v. Texas
Alabama rode a superb defense led by Rolando McClain, the stout Terrence Cody and a fine young corner in Javier Arenas as well as a Heisman season by Mark Ingram to the title game. nevermind that Ingram wasn't the best player in the country but instead the best player on the best team, this game has a bit of a cloud over it. On the first drive of the game, for whatever reason Mack Brown called an option left with his hyper accurate golden-armed superboy Colt McCoy carrying it, and McCoy suffered a pinched nerve in his throwing shoulder on the hit. A freak accident that knocked the kid out of the game for good and put Garrett Gilbert in, people across the country were shocked at this turn of events. Gilbert was a blue chipper out of high school, just as the UT quarterback should be, but to throw him into the fire like this was to do a major disservice to how good this freshman could be. The Longhorns weren't at full strength and yet they were still threatening late into the game, and had real chances to win it that, if it had been McCoy back there, they no doubt would have. Yes, injuries are a part of the game, but still, this puts a bit of a damper on the shine of the Coaches Trophy in Tuscaloosa.
2009 – Florida v. Oklahoma
There's not much to say about this game- Tim Tebow is simply one of the greatest college football players to ever step on the field. Even with Sam Bradford at the helm, the swarming and strong Florida defense made it a hectic day to say the least for the Sooners. I'll give this one to them, the Gators just beat Oklahoma. HOWEVER, the Sooners were neither the best nor the second best team that year. USC lost earlier in the season in a let-down game against Oregon State, and the Trojans had one of the best defenses not just that year, but in college football history. The Gators lucked out in that respect, plus the fact that the BCS had a hard-on for Tebow pretty much his entire career. The Trojans were in my eyes the best team in the country, despite that one loss. The Gators also had one loss, and if it hadn't been for Tebow and the BCS computers artificially overrating the SEC a bit, USC would have come in and taken the trophy away. Yet another example of why a playoff is necessary. I know you can only play the teams you're allowed to face, but nevertheless, Oklahoma got in because of a couple fluke losses, and if it had gone differently and USC had faced the Gators, I have no doubt Troy would have been victorious. Florida had Brandon Spikes leading their D, but USC had Ray Malaluga leading it, a better coaching mind in Pete Carroll, not to mention Taylor Mays and the rest of the linebacking corps in Clay Matthews and Brian Cushing. Just beastly if you ask me. A Rose Bowl was great, but the title should have been USC's.
2007 and 2008 – Florida/LSU v. Ohio State
For the life of me I don't understand how Ohio State got ranked so highly so much. Yes, they won a lot of games, undefeated in both these years, but the Big 10 just isn't that good, I don't get it. They routinely have trouble in inter-conference play, and Jim Tressell tightens up, Marty Schottenheimer style, in big games. I give little credit to Florida or LSU for these games, each a blowout and the Tigers got to play in the Superdome- it was basically a home game for them. There were definitely better teams out there than the Buckeyes both these years, if nothing else SC had some great teams, and Texas is rarely bad. But Ohio State was the lucky one in a year of upsets, riding other teams losses to victory. The luck ran out in January (compounded by playing a virtual LSU home game in New Orleans) and Tressell continued to blow it when it matters. He's doing a great job of making that one title back in '03 look like a fluke. There are times when you have to take a chance, but the Sweater Vest must not understand that inorder to receive great reward, there must be some risk. Woody Hayes retired (was fired, whatever) 30 years ago.
So what do we pull from all this? Obviously the SEC has had a good run these last few years, and this latest National Championship is, at least to me, on the level. Oregon is a great team, they score the hell out of the ball, and because the computers and pollsters hate the non-AQ teams, it's the best we can get. Auburn is looking like the better team, but Chip Kelly works harder than Chizik. It's not hard when your QB is bigger than the other team's linebackers and faster than their corners. I still think TCU could give any of these teams a run for its money, but we'll have to wait till next year. Plus, whatever happens, they're still undefeated and beat a very hot Wisconsin team. But looking back, the SEC, while it has won against the teams it's had to face, hasn't faced the best team, just more often than not the luckiest team, or the recipient of an early-season slip up by a potential juggernaut. SEC fans will celebrate their wins and how dominant they are, but at least one school, situated in Compton of all places, and maybe some guys down in Austin, Texas, should have something to say. Wins are wins, but the wins the SEC has put together have not been the most convincing. Also, Ohio State is garbage, plain and simple, along with the rest of their terrible conference. Nebraska's about to have a field day.

Another LGBT battle could reach court, Cranley crafts parking plan, fracking tax bill revised
A federal court in Cincinnati could soon decide whether married same-sex parents should be recognized by Ohio on their children's birth certificates. Civil rights attorney Alphonse Gerhardstein filed the lawsuit on behalf of four same-sex couples who married outside the state and an adoption agency that helped one of the couples adopt a child in Ohio. The lawsuit argues leaving one parent unnamed perpetuates harmful social stigmas and potentially endangers a child's life by making it more difficult for a parent to get his child help in case of emergencies. Although opponents of LGBT rights argue allowing gay couples to adopt hurts children, the research suggests widespread discrimination and same-sex parents' limited rights are the real threats to gay couples' sons and daughters.Mayor John Cranley is crafting a new plan to upgrade Cincinnati's parking system while retaining local control. Under the drafted plan analyzed by The Business Courier, the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority would issue $25 million in bonds backed by parking revenues. To pay for the new costs, parking meter rates in neighborhoods — but not downtown — would increase by 25 cents per hour to 75 cents per hour, and the city would hire more officers to increase enforcement. The new parking meters would take credit card payments, but smartphone payments currently aren't in the plan.A revised version of the Ohio House's fracking tax bill increases the severance tax on oil and gas companies but cuts the income tax more and directs funding to areas most affected by the state's oil and gas boom. Fracking is a drilling technique in which millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals are pumped underground to unlock oil and gas reserves. Following its widespread adoption, the United States, including Ohio, began pumping out natural gas at record levels. But critics worry the technique could pollute and contaminate surrounding air and water resources.

New parking deal soon, warden denies botched execution, fracking tax bill under works
Mayor John Cranley appears to be working on another parking deal to upgrade Cincinnati's parking meters, although the mayor's office says this plan won't give up control of the city's parking meters to a private entity. At the same time, it seems the deal won't produce a large lump-sum like the defunct parking privatization plan did. Cranley and other opponents of the old parking plan have long said that, even without privatization, the city's parking meters need to be upgraded to accept credit card payments, among other modern features.The warden who oversaw Dennis McGuire's 26-minute, seemingly painful execution says it went "very well." The execution, the longest since Ohio restarted use of the death penalty in 1999, drew international attention, particularly because many blamed the long time to kill on the state's use of a cocktail of drugs never tried before in the United States. The warden's statements essentially reject those concerns. Still, state officials say they're conducting a third review of McGuire's execution in particular, which is apparently uncommon. CityBeat covered the execution in further detail here.An Ohio House bill could boost funding to local governments affected by the fracking boom by hiking the severance tax on oil and gas companies. Fracking is a drilling technique in which millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals are pumped underground to unlock oil and gas reserves. Its widespread use has spurred an economic boom across the country, including northeast Ohio. While it's boosted the overall economy, it's also raised environmental and displacement concerns, particularly in areas where the boom is most active.

Elections board could move, bill allows armed teachers, fracking waste could move on river
The Hamilton County Board of Elections plans to decide today whether it will move its offices and early voting from downtown to Mount Airy. The two Democrats on the board argue moving the offices would push early voting away from public transportation options and the city's core, while the two Republicans claim it's "good government" because the Mount Airy site consolidates county services with the coroner's office and includes free parking. In the event of a tie between Democrats and Republicans, Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, will break the tie. Mayor John Cranley, a Democrat, proposed an alternative site downtown on Thursday, but at least one Republican county official said it wasn't enough to meet the county's needs.One of the Republicans on the board resigned as the city's lobbyist to avoid a conflict of interest prior to today's vote.The Republican-controlled Ohio House last week approved a bill that would allow school boards to designate school employees to carry concealed firearms and prohibit school boards from releasing the names of those employees. Republicans argue the proposal will help make schools safer against would-be shooters. But several studies indicate more guns lead to more gun-related violence. A 2009 ABC News special also found even trained gun-wielders fail to properly react in the event of a shooting.Fracking waste could soon move through barges on the Ohio River, depending on an incoming decision from the U.S. Coast Guard. During the fracking process, drillers pump millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals underground to unlock oil and gas reserves. But some of that water returns to the surface, and that wastewater needs to be dumped somewhere. Oil and gas companies support the allowance of river barges as a potentially cheaper transportation option for the wastewater. But environmentalists, emergency response experts and other critics argue a spill on the Ohio River could cause widespread damage as toxic wastewater flows down a river many communities tap into for drinking water.Citing research from Pennsylvania fracking sites, some advocates argue Ohio officials should take another look at whether radiation from Ohio's fracking operations is affecting surrounding landfills and aquifers.Work at The Banks continues despite a debate over buildings' heights.Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center significantly improved outcomes for teens with asthma, according to a Pediatrics study.Warning: Some Ohioans have been targeted by utility bill scams.Ohio gas prices remained relatively steady at the start of the week.Popular physicist Stephen Hawking argues there are no black holes, but other physicists appear skeptical of Hawking's claims.Follow CityBeat on Twitter:• Main: @CityBeatCincy • News: @CityBeat_News • Music: @CityBeatMusic • German Lopez: @germanrlopez

Report: Ohio's Fracking Protections Fall Short
Environment Ohio finds taxpayers could be forced to pay millions for cleanups
A report released today suggests Ohio taxpayers could be on the hook for costs if something goes wrong at an oil and gas drilling operation. The report from advocacy group Environment Ohio looks at the costs related to "fracking," an extraction technique that involves pumping millions of gallons of water underground to unlock oil and gas reserves. Recent technological advancements have spurred a boom in fracking, leading to hundreds of new wells in Ohio and thousands more around the nation. When oil and gas companies obtain a permit to build a fracking well, they typically have to provide some financial assurance to the state in case something goes wrong. In Ohio, that assurance comes through bonds and specific insurance requirements. If a well operation is completed without a problem, the cost of the bonds is returned to the operator. If something goes wrong, the company has to fix the mess before it gets its money back. But Environment Ohio finds companies in Ohio only have to secure $5,000 in upfront bonds per well. That's not enough for a company to fear the financial consequences of a disaster, which means it could act recklessly with little disincentive, according to the report. The report says that could pose a huge cost to taxpayers: Simply reclaiming a well and its property can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Actually paying for damages, such as contaminated groundwater and ruined roads, can cost millions. Under normal circumstances, private and public entities could sue for the damages, but that's unrealistic if a well operator goes bankrupt or is otherwise unwilling or incapable of paying. Another potential problem: The bond payments are only held by the state until a well is plugged and the site is reclaimed to the satisfaction of state operators. That doesn't account for health and environmental damages that can surface after a drilling operation ends, according to the report. The issues are further compounded by loopholes, which allow companies to avoid bonding requirements altogether if they prove they hold a certain amount of in-state assets. Environment Ohio calls it "an exceedingly easy test to meet."In what it calls "common sense" reforms, Environment Ohio says the state should impose more assurances for longer periods of time. The organization favorably cites other states that require $250,000 in upfront bonds — much higher than Ohio's $5,000. For companies, that would mean a much higher financial hurdle when taking on a fracking project, but the high cost could provide a powerful incentive to avoid dangerous risks.The report also finds that insurance requirements in the state are weak, with operators required to fulfill a $5 million liability cap regardless of whether they're running one well or 100. The organization recommends Ohio work to build stricter financial and regulatory safeguards. "At a minimum, Ohio needs an adequate severance tax to fund impacts on communities and provide a cushion for long-term risk management," said Wendy Patton, director at left-leaning think tank Policy Matters Ohio, in a statement released by Environment Ohio. An oil and gas severance tax was suggested by Republican Gov. John Kasich to pay for income tax cuts, but Republican legislators rejected the proposal. The report's findings were not exclusive to Ohio. It also found issues and suggested solutions for other states and the federal government, including a similar call for stronger bonding requirements on federal lands.

City debt outlook worsens, Port apologizes for email about parking memo, fracking tax fails
It may become more expensive for the city to issue debt after Moody's downgraded the city's bond rating. The credit rating agency pinned the blame on the city's exposure to local and state retirement systems, as well as the city's reliance since 2001 on one-time sources to balance the operating budget. Still, Moody's does give the city some credit for its economically diverse population and recently stabilized earnings tax, despite docking the city for bad socioeconomic indicators, particularly resident income levels and historical unemployment rates. The Greater Cincinnati Port Authority's CEO Laura Brunner is apologizing to the public and council members following the exposure of an email that implied she was trying to keep a critical parking memo away from public sight. Brunner says she was just trying to buy time so she could directly show the memo to the Port Authority's board before it was reported by news outlets, but she acknowledges that her email was ill-conceived and came off as an attempt to stifle transparency. The memo suggests Cincinnati is getting a bad deal from its parking lease agreement with the Port Authority and several private operators, but the Port Authority and city officials argue the memo is outdated and full of technical errors. The Cincinnati Enquirer has a report detailing political contributions from oil and gas companies that may have helped bring down a state "fracking tax," which was supposed to raise state revenue from Ohio's ongoing oil and gas boom. Apparently, many of the Republican legislators who staunchly opposed the oil and gas severance tax also took in a lot of money from the same companies who would have to pay up. The tax proposal was effectively dead on arrival, even with the hyperbolic support of Republican Gov. John Kasich. Fracking is an extraction technique that pumps millions of gallons of water underground to free up oil and gas. CityBeat covered its effects on Ohio in further detail here. Water utility leaders are meeting in Cincinnati this week to discuss sustainable business models. In Cincinnati, water usage has dropped while expenses to treat water and waste water have escalated, causing the Metropolitan Sewer District to take in less money. The conference will discuss models that can adjust around this trend while keeping rates low for customers. The owners of The Hanke Exchange, a collection of buildings in Over-the-Rhine, say occupancy is going up as a result of the promise of the Cincinnati streetcar. The property is now at 84 percent occupancy rate, up from 28 percent three years ago. Dayton and Cincinnati will hold rallies Saturday showing support for Trayvon Martin, the unarmed black 17-year-old who was killed by George Zimmerman last year. Zimmerman was acquitted of murder by a jury last Saturday. Richard Cordray, the former Ohio attorney general, was confirmed to direct the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the top agency that will regulate the financial institutions that played a role in causing the Great Recession. The Hamilton County Young Democrats are hosting a free event today to meet Democratic State Sen. Nina Turner, who's also running for secretary of state next year against Republican incumbent Jon Husted. If the sun suddenly went out, humanity could take a few weeks to die out and perhaps live in Iceland.

Fracking Flourishing in Water-Stressed Areas
Interactive map shows Ohio counties are part of national trend
A new interactive map shows hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," is flourishing in U.S. areas where water is already scarce — a potentially bad sign for Ohio counties that are allowing the water-intensive drilling process within their own borders.The map from advocacy group Ceres shows northeast Ohio counties with fracking activity are made up of low, medium-to-high and high stress areas, with most of the identified fracking wells in medium-to-high and high stress areas.The website explains Ohio's experience is actually better than the national trend: "In the map below, one can see that almost half (47 percent) of shale gas and oil wells are being developed in regions with high to extremely high water stress. This means that more than 80 percent of the annual available water is being withdrawn by municipal, industrial and agricultural users in these regions. Overall, 75 percent of wells are located in regions with medium or higher baseline water stress levels."Fracking is a relatively new drilling process that involves pumping millions of gallons of water underground to fracture shale and reveal oil and gas reserves. CityBeat previously covered Ohio's fracking boom in further detail here.

Watershed Conservancy District Stops Water Sales to Frackers
Lack of information, understanding of industry spurs halt
Ohio environmentalists and conservationists won a small victory in the fracking industry today when Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District decided to halt all water sales from Ohio's largest contained watershed to drillers in the oil and gas industry. Environmental groups have expressed concern that the watershed's water supply could be sold for use in fracking, a fairly new drilling technique in which thousands of gallons of chemical-laden water are shot into the earth in order to fracture shale and free natural oil and gas. Critics of the process say more research is needed on the technique to fully understand fracking's long- and short-term environmental and economic effects. (Read CityBeat's June 6 cover story, "Boom, Bust or Both?" about Ohio's fracking industry, here.)The decision to postpone the sales will be held until data is received in a water-availability study that's currently underway. Pending analysis of the study's results, MWCD plans to update its water supply policy to help deal with interested clients in the future. "We believe strongly that it is in the best interest of the public we serve and the conservancy district to not entertain any water supply requests until this study has been completed and the MWCD has had an opportunity to update its water supply policy for review, public discussion and consideration of the MWCD Board of Directors,"said John M. Hoopingarner, MWCD executive director/secretary in a press release. The MWCD will honor its preexisting agreement to provide Gulfport Energy Co. with 11 million gallons of water from Clendening Lake in Harrison County.

Among other things, Friday, April 20 marked the two-year anniversary of BP's Deepwater Horizon rig explosion, which leaked nearly 5 million barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico before the well was plugged. Disturbing accounts of deformed aquatic life have recently surfaced, including fish plagued with mysterious ulcers, eyeless shrimp and crabs missing legs.

|Bike trail put on hold, new ordinance adopted
|Written by Chris Lee
Application for a grant for the first phase of a bike/pedestrian trail will be put on hold after city council members decided at their Oct. 20 meeting that everything isn't in place to move forward.
Councilman Ray Bailey, along with City Clerk Kathy Olofson and City Supt. Mark Brown, have all been working on the project with the help of others around town.
The application was to be submitted by Monday, Nov. 2. Councilman Orville Tonsing raised the question about easements on right-of-way. He also mentioned the entire plan should be laid out before moving forward.
Bailey said the project has received cooperation from all residents involved along the path. He also said a lot of people are in favor of the path around town. He mentioned the involved homeowners will not be happy to hear the project has been delayed.
All council members are in favor of the project but feel they aren't quite ready to move forward with the project and the Nov. 2 deadline is too soon.
Olofson said the cycle to apply for the grant comes only once a year so they will have to wait until next year to apply again. She also noted it would take until about March to find out who is awarded grant money and then by the time contracts are signed it could be nearly August before any work starts.
The first stage would begin on E. Johnson St. and move toward the hospital. It would contain only the path and not the enhancements such as lights and landscaping.
Bailey said there are about four different parts of the project. There is the actual path, the enhancements, curb and gutter and then the drainage.
City Attorney Al Wall gave a brief report about the proposed ordinance of the city declaring a moratorium on review of applications for the dispensaries of medical marijuana within the City of Holyoke. The item was on the agenda and Wall wanted to speak about it before the council voted.
He suggested the board take a long look at the ordinance and have a chance to get all the information. He also said it would be smart to adopt the ordinance so the city can set the regulations they want, if any. After a roll call vote, the ordinance was adopted unanimously.
Stray population addressed
Holyoke High School students Casey Sage, Chantel Rafert and Heather Duester were present to speak with the board about a project they are involved with in John Ortner's government class. They proposed the idea of an animal shelter to be used to help control the stray dog population in Holyoke and Phillips County.
The students said they are ready to set up a donation and apply for grants along with fund raising. Mayor David Nygaard said it is a worthwhile project and the city would appreciate any help.
Reports of city officials
City Supt. Brown said MP Nexlevel, LLC was scheduled to leave on Thursday, Oct. 22. They have been in Holyoke installing the fiber optic system.
With the recent cold weather and the hard freeze Holyoke received, leaves began falling and the street department began picking up leaves and will continue to do so and will let people know when the last chance will be.
Brown also said the fuel farm at the airport is nearly finished as well as the electrical work in the new city building.
Police Chief Phil Biersdorfer brought one of two new protective shields to the meeting to show council members. The shields were purchased as part of a Homeland Security Grant. He said they will keep one in Holyoke with the other going to Haxtun.
Biersdorfer also said Holyoke P.D. purchased a bunch of face masks for the officers to use when responding to medical emergencies to help protect against the flu.
Holyoke P.D. picked up three stray dogs in one week and Nygaard said he appreciated Biersdorfer and Code Enforcement officer Dawn Worley with the help they gave in getting the dogs adopted.
Councilman Barry Winckler said he was pleased with the way Holyoke P.D. has stepped up and worked with other law enforcement agencies in the area.
The council tabled two items during the meeting. A donation request from Healing Tree, Addiction Treatment Solutions, Inc. was tabled after the question of how much of a donation was wanted and what the money was going toward.
The consultant fees for the diseased/dead tree assessment was also tabled. Board members agreed to wait and discuss it with the party involved when they attend a future council meeting.
After the meeting adjourned, board members held a work session to discuss dog ordinance and licensing fees.
In other business Oct. 20, council members:
—approved the liquor license renewal for Hometown Liquor.

I geared my alt only to do this quest. I didn't kill him after trying for 2-3 hours last night. But I could get him to 2nd Doom Lord on 2 occasions. I play on EU servers from Oceania which means 400-600ms latency and it HURTS. I play demo so the leap helps with getting out of rain of fire.
What kills me:
The chaos bolt. Because I sometimes forget to abuse the portal
Dots in fel puppy phase. Because I try to kill them ASAP and forget to Singe myself.
What works for me:
Harvest life the imps. Two HoG, shadowfury, Flame Breath and spam harvest life.
Have the Pit Lord attack and tank Doom Lords. Much better than banish/fear in a hectic fight.
Use meta for the felhunters. Face them away and have the Pit Lord flame them. They never remove the enslave when I position them correctly.
I know I will have it this weekend. It's just a matter of doing everything correctly at all times. ^^

In response to danemcmenamin's comment:
In response to PatsEng's comment:
Why would Talib be more expensive then DRC is my question. DRC is more durable, just as talented, just as inconsistent (work ethic), just about same production, and without the looming suspension red flag of a failed drug test or off field issues. If anything DRC should receive better contract offers then Talib
The main reason is that the team spent half of the year talking about what a special player he is and how much he brings to the team. He may not end up getting money but knowing this guy he sure thinks he deserves it now
Thinking he deserves it and what he can get are two different things. In the end I don't think Talib will get as much as DRC simply because DRC is less of a suspension concern and is more durable. But, it wouldn't shock me if Talib thought he was worth more at all
As for who I'd rather have, truthfully I'd rather have Talib. I know he might not make it through the season and I know he might not be on his best behavior but depending on demand his contract could be more incentive based then DRC's which would protect the team and we know Talib can play in the system. How many guys come in and can't play in the Pats system? I'd rather take the known then the unknown. If there aren't measures built in to the contract to protect the team then the higher the price the more I'd want DRC.
