Anyone who says ANYTHING close to this being a moral victory deserves to be punched in the back of the head. They played well - better than I thought - but there are no moral victories when you are up 3 with 8 seconds left at the #6 team in the country. You win that game. And if not, you should be hugely disappointed.
would have rather lost by 20 than this.
It's possible to be hugely disappointed and for it to be a moral victory. Some people are complex enough to understand that.
Just another kick to the groin for lowly Iowa State fan.

It is a moral victory. You can message me if you want a time a place to punch me in the back of my head.
F**k moral victories...
Moral victories are dumb, but what I saw was a team compete head to head and blow a chance to win the game. Hugely disappointing but encouraging at the same time they played well enough to be in position to blow it. Not many thought that was possible before tonight. Missed free throws cost them the game not the decision not to foul.
Not a moral victory, but I'm sure by tomorrow I'll be able to look and realize a lot of positives came out of this game. Right now though, just worrying about icing my balls.

This is a moral victory, but it's more than that...
I want this one to hurt for the team. I want it to sit with them and burn. I want them to come out the rest of the Big 12 season and put teams away when we get up. They know they had this and couldn't finish strong.

Fred may have played a factor in this loss but he's a winner. Moral victories are for losers and teams facing unfortunate circumstances. This team doesn't fit that criteria.

This is what I think. The team hasn't played like they've played tonight, and they're gonna go at the big 12 with a vengeance.

Tomorrow behind the bleachers. Be there.
Is it just me or am I the only one that finds 0 positives in losses.....The point of the game is to score more points than the opponent which did not occur, therefore loses, end of story....

Those crazy Aussie fans of Hector Lombard (31-3-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) are in for a treat.
UFC President Dana White announced today that the ex-Bellator champ is headed to his adopted home country to headline UFC on FX 6 opposite submission specialist Rousimar Palhares (14-4 MMA, 7-3 UFC).
UFC on FX 6 is scheduled for Dec. 15 in an Australian city and venue still to be determined. The card is also expected to feature the final bouts in the soon-to-debut "The Ultimate Fighter: Australia vs. U.K." series.
Due to the time difference, the card takes place in Australia on Saturday morning and airs live in North America on Friday night. The event's main card airs live on FX, and preliminary-card fights are expected to air on FUEL TV and stream on Facebook.
Lombard undoubtedly looks to rebound after a lackluster debut against Tim Boetsch at 149. After three lethargic rounds, Boetsch earned a unanimous decision and spoiled what many thought was a stopover on Lombard's road to the middleweight title.
Weeks later, Lombard announced via Twitter that he had gone into the fight with an injury – torn cartilage between his rib cage and sternum.
Nonetheless, the loss was a huge setback for the Cuban-born fighter, who until that event hadn't lost a fight in six years and had previously held the Bellator middleweight championship before signing with the UFC.
Palhares also looks to rebound following a first-round TKO loss to Alan Belcher at UFC on FOX 3, which snapped a three-fight win streak. The ankle lock specialist previously dispatched Dave Branch, Dan Miller and Mike Massenzio.

"We're very excited to have Mtn. Dew as the title sponsor of ATVMX this season," says Series Director Dean VanLeeuwen. "Mtn.

As a part of Mtn.

Pope Gregory XVI
- Bartolomeo Alberto Capellari
- Bartolomeo Alberto Cappellari Colomba
- Mauro Capellari
Son of Giovanni Battista and Giulia Cesa-Pagani, both minor nobles whose families had formerly been prominent in the service of the state. Camaldolese monk at San Michele di Murano in 1783, taking the name Mauro. Ordained in 1787. Studied and taught philosophy and theology. In 1799 he published , a book upholding papal infallability and the right of the pope to temporal power. Abbot-vicar of San Gregoria monastery in 1800. Twice offered bishoprics, and twice refused them. Created cardinal on 21 March 1825 by Pope Leo XII. Prefect of the Congregation of Propaganda. Mediated and arranged agreements between Belgian Catholics and King William of Holland in 1827. Mediated and arranged agreements between Armenian Catholics and the Ottoman Empire in 1829. Elected 254th pope after a seven-week conclave.
Privately, and as pope, he was pious, kind, loyal, and a fierce conservative, both in politics and theology, and he devoted his papacy to supporting legitimate governments and the repression of rebellion. The day after his election, a revolt broke out in the Papal States, and Gregory was forced to call on Austria for help; the revolt was crushed within a month. European powers, alarmed at the uprising, called for extensive reform of the clerical government, and more responsibility for the laity. To appease the French, Gregory granted a general armistice to the rebels. The Austrians withdrew, the revolutionaries took to the streets the Austrians returned, and the French occupied Ancona, Italy. The problem of the Papal States attracted the concern of all European governments, and liberals everywhere saw the pope as the chief obstacle to political progress.
Movements formed to politically unify Italy; Rome was to be capital, and the pope's temporal power abolished; moderate reformers proposed that the pope retain his sovereignty in Rome and become the president of a constitutional state. Gregory would have none of this. He declared his total opposition to liberalism, his determination to preserve the traditional form of the temporal sovereignty, and his support of the legitimist monarchies, Catholic or non-Catholic, clerical or anti-clerical. His encyclical Mirari vos in August 1832 condemned all that the liberal Catholics stood for. He even opposed the revolt of Polish Catholics against the persecuting Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, and in June 1832 he ordered them to submit and obey their sovereign.
Though his politics had made him a target for scorn by historians, his interest in art, learning, and evangelism allowed him to make advances in his 15 years on the throne. He founded the Etruscan and Egyptian museums at the Vatican, and the Christian museum at the Lateran. He encouraged and supported, morally and financially, artists, writers, archeologists, and the restoration of ancient church structures. He funded the tunnelling of Monte Catillo to prevent the flooding of Tivoli, Italy by the river Anio, established steamboat transport at Ostia in Rome, instituted decimal coinage in the Roman States, founded a bureau of statistics at Rome, and reduced various taxes. He founded public baths, hospitals, and orphanages, and sent missionaries to Abyssinia (modern Ethiopia), India, China, Polynesia, and North America. He doubled the number of Vicars-Apostolic in England, and increased the number of bishops in the United States. Five saints were canonized, 33 beati declared, new religious orders were founded or supported, and devotion to Mary increased.

Women in Combat Arms Units comes to the fore
Unless you've been living under a rock the past 36 hours, you know that Leon Panetta is dropping the combat exclusion policy for women:
The U.S. military is ending its policy of excluding women from combat and will open combat jobs and direct combat units to female troops, multiple officials told CNN on Wednesday.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta will make the announcement Thursday and notify Congress of the planned change in policy, the officials said.
"We will eliminate the policy of 'no women in units that are tasked with direct combat,'" a senior defense official said.
Here's a discussion on CNN about it:
From another CNN article, reviews are mixed:
Julie Weckerlein, who has served more than 13 years in the Air Force and did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, thinks the change reflects the military catching up with the times.
Women supporting supply missions have been drawn into battle in Iraq and Afghanistan, where there are no physical front lines.
Now, Weckerlein said, "people will be able to serve in the career fields they are qualified for, and they won't be turned away because of their gender." [...]
Rep. Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, has said he doesn't think women are physically capable of combat duty.
"To have women serving in infantry ... could impair the mission essential task of those units, and that's been proven in study after study," he told radio host Laura Ingraham this month. "It's nature -- upper body strength and physical movements and speed and endurance and so forth."
My friend Jonn Lilyea took the middle ground:
Jonn Lilyea, one of the founders of the military blog "This Ain't Hell," wrote that he thinks it was an "ill-considered decision."
Lilyea, a former sergeant who fought in Desert Storm, wrote that he is opposed to women in combat units, not because women are a distraction but because he thinks the Army and other services will be required to accept more women than are qualified or can be trained.
"If we're doing this to make the military better, fine, but if we're doing it just to beat our collective chest and show how just we are, then that's how a lot of body bags are going to get filled," he wrote.
The American Legion's position, embodied in "Resolution No. 36: Repeal DOD Policy Prohibiting Women From Combat" at the Milwaukee Convention in 2010, states:
RESOLVED, By The American Legion in National Convention assembled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, August 31, September 1, 2, 2010, That The American Legion shall initiate efforts to encourage the repeal of the Department of Defense's policy governing the assignment of women in combat situations.
The key of course will be ensuring that the standards required of various MOSs (Like Infantry, Special Forces, SEALs etc) does not get changed. That is covered by "Resolution No. 139: Military occupational specialty standards":
RESOLVED, By The American Legion in National Convention assembled in Indianapolis, Indiana, August 28, 29, 30, 2012, That The American Legion strongly believes that the Department of Defense and all branches of the military services must maintain the current physical and mental requirements and qualifications for acceptance into military service that have created the best and most respected military in the world; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the mental and physical qualifications of all military personnel, regardless of gender or age, should be held to a single duty position specific standard depending on Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and not be amended without Congressional authority; and, be it ...finally
RESOLVED, That The American Legion believes that without such Congressional hearings and oversight there exists the distinct possibility that changes will be made to lessen the current standards or set a double standard, one for men and one for women, for the sake of accommodating personnel for "social experiments," therefore, reducing our nation's military effectiveness.
Our official statement on this has been released as well:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 -- The leader of the nation's largest wartime veterans' service organization has reacted cautiously to today's announcement that the U.S. military plans to expand combat roles for women in the military.
"Women in the military are performing magnificently in Afghanistan and in U.S. military units throughout the word," American Legion National Commander James E. Koutz said. "Women comprise nearly 15 percent of our active forces and we simply would not be able to accomplish our missions without them. That said, we do not believe that the administration should precipitously change long-existing policies without careful review and oversight from Congress."
Delegates to The American Legion National Convention last August passed a resolution that called on all branches of the military services to maintain the current physical and mental requirements and qualifications for acceptance into military service that has "created the best and most respected military in the world…" It further called on all military personnel, regardless of gender or age to be held to a single standard based on their MOS and that the elimination of the combat exclusion clause for women come only after congressional approval.
The most important aspect to consider in changing existing policy, Koutz said, is if it enhances the military's war -fighting capability. "Political or career considerations should not enter into the equation," he said. "The bottom line is: 'Will it make us a more capable fighting force?'"
Membership in The American Legion has been open to women who are serving or have served during wartime periods since the organization's founding in 1919. Women Legionnaires were eligible to vote for their national commander before they could vote for the president of the United States.

Women in combat
No problem with them in support roles. Women bare children, who later become soldiers. I love and respect women. I just don't want to see their bodies splattered all over the battle field. And for all you bra burning W Libbers out there, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. If we need boots on the ground, let's start a draft and get some of these fat useless feminized "males" off their lazy arses and have them pay back for all the twinkies and Mountain Dews thet've been sucking down while real men have been sacrificing their blood and souls for what's left of our once great country.

Women in Combat
Having served aboard 4 ships, including one of the first to have women onboard (USS Simon Lake, USS Saratoga, USS Nimitz, and USS Constellation), some women are going to push to be where the men are, no matter what the situation is. Personally, some women abuse the workload, complaining that they cant carry boxes, carry munitions, or carry their end of the load. Yet, I have some women that were very able to hold their own with the men. But, I also know that some women, as well as a lot of men, don't want to be on the frontlines fighting, but wil only when forced to. I have read many of the comments here about women and the military don't mix, as all we hear is able sex scandals and the like. Give the women their own ships, their own submarines, and if this is called "segregation", then so be it. At least, hopefully, all these sex scandals will calm down, and nobody will be screaming "harassment" as much. If a woman tells another woman what to do, it will because she chose to be in that position, and she will have to carry her end of the weight. However, I also believe that the draft should be re-instated as I feel many of the people in the United States don't recognize how much a service person has to go through, and we should ALL pull our wieght by at least serving in the military for several years. I'm not saying that it's for everybody, but i know vets are having hard times getting jobs these day, myself included.

Women in Combat Positions
I wholeheartedly endorse women in combat positions, where necessary for the defense of a military unit, however, I do believe that they should be used sparingly, as the Israelis do, in offensive actions. Women have proved their standing in our external and internal fights from the very begnning of our nation and I'm sure will continue to serve without hestitation or reservation for the good of this nation in present and future endeavors. Insofaras Congress having oversight as the effeciveness of women in combat or their eligibility to serve in these positions, I would have little trust in their being able to micromanage what the Secretarly of Defense is already doing effectively. If the task is beyond a women's ability, as it is many times with their male counterparts, then if should fall to the next person in line. I served around the world for over thirty years with women in various military positions and found them to be effective in whatever billets they may have been assigned.

Women in combat
I was infantry, RVN, 67-68, C/1/5, USMC. I think only women volunteers, they should not be integrated below the platoon level, I.E., platoons or companies or even battalions of women, but no women in platoons / below integrated with men. We should dig deeply into Israels experience and learn from them. They are similar in their morals and laws to the U. S. Keeping them out just because they are women is egotistical. They should have to meet the same standards as the type of unit they would be. Artillery, tanks, infantry, recon, Green Beret, SEAL.
We also have to consider that, in Viet Nam, when a unit was attacked and needed reinforcements, the speed and method of support had to consider the fact that Charlie liked to attack a unit, expecting reinforcements, set an ambush where they expected the reinforcements to pass, and ambush us.
I can't imagine the risks we might take to save a platoon of women. I know that we grunts would have rushed head long knowing that it was highly likely we would be ambushed. How we would deploy units of those that are only 2nd to our children would need great consideration. We should never change our attitude of how we feel about mothers, sisters, wives and lovers and the best thing on Earth just so some women can have legal equality. I am for, and, against the idea.

War is hell do we want to subject women to that? Women are able to fight in combat but it is not what we want our women to do. From the point of protecting our species women should not be there. Men in combat is a nesscessary evil, women in combat is just evil.

Bad idea
I served in the USMC infantry as an 0341. I can't imagine being in the field with females, and not one person tries to knock boots with her. Let's get real here. Being stuck in a muddy foxhole at the age of 18 with raging hormones with a female,and with lots of time on your hands. Talk about a distraction and being caught with your pants down in a combat zone. All we talked about in the infantry was drinking booze and getting laid. Also, nothing against women, but they're just not built for the infantry. Long time in the field, long humps, and carrying a lot of heavy gear. You can go weeks with out a shower too. Plus feminin hygiene, do they even have govt. tampons in OD green?

I hate to think of myself as "politically correct" (one of my favorite insults) but now is the time for full equal rights! Equal regardless of gender, race, orientation, religion and so on. To properly hold most any job you must meet certain standards for say security or physical strength/stamina. Anybody that can meet valid prerequisites should be allowed to pursue the field of their choice.
Every time I go into the Post Office I see the sign about how males must register for the draft and wonder how in this time of 'equal rights' women don't have to register. As a father of both a son and a daughter I wince at the thought of either of them registering, as I did many years ago. However, the price of freedom is the willingness to fight for it. As retired Navy, I am proud to say that both of my kids are willing to fight for freedom.
I have had women work for me that were more physically capable than many of the men in my division. Conversely one of the smallest, feeblest sailors I had was a male! Any citizen that can meet the requirements of the job should be allowed to pursue that field of endeavor. The job requirements, however should NOT be downgraded to 'enable' any group. Nor should there be any quotas based on any demographic! Anywhere!

Female in the front libes
I am against this completley for all the reasons everybody is stating here.
But here is something nobody is talking about.
If we have a draft again they most likely will have to draft females becaise some guy will bitch if they don't.
And what happens if some drafted female gets sent to the front line and gets scared and deserts.
And if you desert during a time of war you can be shot.
Female are not the same as us " thank God " and they are not supposed to be put in this kind violance.
A female that is a civilian Cop is different and they can not be shot if they desert they just get fired.
Some females might like the military but I don't think all females would like it.

Why shouldn't the women who fly missions and who drive in convoys get the same medals as the men who do the same thing. I know there are a few women who deserve the Congressional Medal of Honor. When I was in I outdid my male counter parts in many things such as I did more pushups and sit-ups and even out ran them Women can endure more pain then men. Women are also known to be better shots then men. In fact a FEMALE Airman won the sniper competition. Come on quit being so wrong in your way of thinking.

Why is the National Commander saying we should move "cautionously" when he states in the February issue of the American Legion Magazine that "Women are serving today, as the fighting front now surrounds everyone in the theater, are combat veterans in every sense of the word?"

This is a sad day for our society overall. Political correctness continues to eat away at the traits that made (past tense) our society the strongest in world history. The continued destruction of the family unit is at play here. Men and women are very, very different and for very specific reasons. Yet, the failure of man is that egotistic leaders and women activists think they know better. They scream "male chauvinist" and "bigot", etc. This is a distraction which most fall for. I will never ever let my daughter anywhere near this insanity and cannot imagine any father would want there daughter going through the trauma of blowing someones head-off or watching someone they know get their head blown-off. Men are different, we can understand the trauma and deal with it. Women, 99.9% of the time cannot. Yes, a sad day when our society lets this happen because we are so afraid of really talking about what this means and really acknowledging the differences between men and women.
And dont kid yourself, the standards will be lowered even further from what they already have, just like they have in every instance where political correctness pushes for equality. There never has been equality in military fitness to this date.

I'm not opposed to it as long as they can do everything without standards being changed. When I went to basic training in Nov 79 I was in the first company that had females in it and they couldn't keep up on the first road march we went on . Guys had to carry their equipment for them after awhile we also had to slow down for them. The next road march they didn't even go on and at PT they couldn't keep up. It was very bad for my moral that they didn't even go thru the gas chamber with us. There may be a select few that can do as much as a man but I don't think that the standards will be the same and men will pay with their lives for it.

It is a bad idea to allow women into a combat position. In many respects women are equal to men but generally speaking women do not have the physical endurance of men. Combat is physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally demanding. In the risk of sounding antiquated and/or sexist, there is no reason to place those with whom future generations are born into a combat situation. Women are different than men. Being equal does not mean being exactly the same.

Responding to some of the comments I've read here....I spent 29 years in the Army (enlilsted & officer). A lot of my active duty was spent in the field. There were women who physcially and mentally beat out fellow male soldiers daily. If a woman is physically and mentally able to fill the MOS, then so be it. Yes, standards should be the same, however, if you have any background on the physical make up of women and men's bodies, you would know there is a difference regarding bones, etc., which produced the different standards for PT tests. However, many women still beat their male counterparts in sit ups, push ups and runs despite the scoring differences. Draft? Then draft all, male/female; including politicians sons/daughters. As for field conditions, I've been there, done that - no latrines - pooping and peeing in the woods, stink-(RE: Al P). Come on, really! I've never seen anyone, man or woman, relieving themselves in front of a battalion. No showers - so we stink and we deal with it. As for horny soldiers - too bad - get over it. Due to that "problem", all soldiers have battle buddies to protect each other, unfortunately, against fellow, stupid, undisciplined soldiers who can't control themselves. You are supposed to protect each other not just men protecting women. Goes both ways. Pregnancy isn't as much a problem as men who hurt themselves because they think they are invincible and show off to fellow male soldiers; also those who can't deal with being away from their wife, girlfriend, lover; worried they are cheating on them. Yo Jim, Gays are already serving in the military AND some are married. Enufisenuf - women have been buried as a result of war for many years - where have you been? Ever hear of the WIMSA memorial? Probably not. Women have taken up arms in many wars when their men have fallen. Austin Johnston - hoorah! You, Jeff G and Jacquiline said it!

Having been a Vietnam era Marine, it is inconceivable that females be allowed to serve in those MOS's that require those kinds of frontline actions. Just another step by the current 'know-it-all' administration for further social engineering.
When, just last weekend Obama was commenting that there is 'too much violence in college and NFL football', I guess he realizes that there just might be some violence associated with combat ? Well, probably not!

TO: American Legion National Commander James E. Koutz.
RE: Woman in combat positions
Commander Koutz, you say the most important aspect to consider in changing existing policy: "is if it enhances the military's war 'fighting capability'.
Political and career considerations should not enter into the equation."
Political leaders control militaries in all democratic nations.
It's unfortunate when those who have been given political appointment positions choose to "exceed" their authority via personal policy-making over the heads of duly elected congressional bodies. This type of activity is done with shameful regularity these days.
Hopefully, no one "today" would suggest that in order to shorten a conventional war that we should nuke other nations who have no nuke weapons just to show we have more 'fighting capability'.
Imagine the lessons these actions have given to our enemies in history.
Every misguided party in the world who gets and uses a nuke will credit "you know who"
for using it first.
I believe: The most important thing is that this nation honors God and has moral leaders to represent the people, setting a good example for friends and enemies alike.
For thousands of years, armies fighting the wars of history tried 'protecting' non-combatants such as woman and children. This was considered the moral high ground by warring and conquering parties. No doubt this has saved the lives of millions of women and children even those on the losing side of war. Those who disregarded this principle will not in the long run, be respected by history or following generations.
In order to help protect woman, you don't flaunt woman in combat positions.
Also, dressing women up exactly to look like men in order to "hide" some genders is a farce. Then subject women to killing and being killed in combat as an unknown target. Over the past several years, the military leaders have increasingly violated this historical custom of respect, and this has led to the loss of women due to being placed so close to combat areas.
After being responsible for their deaths and injury, would they now say that the disrespectable policy is now justified by their deaths? Why not go back to a time when honor and respect was something to value?
This policy changing was for political reasons to undermine the existing established rules and customs of military practice and history and to placate certain radical groups.
The selective service systems are designed to protect women and the children's primary, personal, family caregiver (the mother) in the nation.
Would they send women off to war and dump the children into a government day care center, a grandmother or working dad?.
It is the responsibility of men to defend the nation in time of war. When you remove the protections for woman, as has been done in abortions of children, who are left to be protected?
Would think Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and General Martin Dempsey have shown a blatant disrespect for the values of what made this a great nation.
It's interesting how they have cleverly crafted and distorted the real issues (such as talking about what positions might remain closed to woman) to add confusion to what should not be in question.
One would think something as important as this should get full congressional approval.
In time these contributed actions will lead to all fit woman being possibility subjected to the horrors and death of wars via the selective system.
A system that has murded millions of babies in abortion will, in time, add to this blood
a legacy of more immoral acts.
Some gentlemen seek to strip the protections from the innocents.

This all came up because a maj or ltc female type and a sgm complained and sued the us government. Stateing that they could not get promoted which is a bunch of bull. How did they get to thier ranks with out getting promoted. Next the military has double standards when dealing with females. Also all the government is doing is trying to please everyone.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Colgate's Gavin McCarney is a superb
rusher who keeps improving as a passer. Appalachian State's Jamal Jackson is a
terrific pocket passer who has the skills to roll out and run the ball
Both quarterbacks have dominated play this season, setting records along the
way, while joining the 2012 Walter Payton Award Watch List on Tuesday.
The Payton Award, presented by The Sports Network, and in its 26th year, is
presented to the outstanding player in the Football Championship Subdivision.
This year's winner, to be chosen from 20 candidates, will join a list of
Payton Award greats such as Steve McNair, Brian Westbrook, John Friesz, Tony
Romo, Brian Finneran, Armanti Edwards and 2011 recipient Bo Levi Mitchell.
McCarney, a 6-foot-2, 192-pound junior, has helped Colgate compile a 7-3
record and capture the Patriot League title. He guides an offense that ranks
No. 1 in the league and No. 3 in the FCS with a 41.2-point average.
He ranks first nationally in scoring (12.8 ppg), second in points responsible
for (21.2 ppg), fourth in passing efficiency (159.65) and seventh in total
offense (317.2 ypg). Among McCarney's 12 school records are total offensive
yards in a game (512), rushing yards by a quarterback in a game (288), rushing
yards by a quarterback in a season (1,131), touchdowns in a season by a
quarterback (21) and consecutive games with a touchdown pass (12).
He earned national co-offensive player of the week honors in league wins over
Georgetown and Lafayette.
Jackson, a 6-3, 208-pound junior, has been equally effective for Appalachian
State's nationally ranked program, although he is most talented as a passer.
He stands tall in the pocket and has outstanding accuracy downfield. This
season, he has ranked first or second in the Southern Conference and in the
Top 20 nationally in passing yards per game (264.1), total offense (294.5 ypg)
and passing efficiency (146.18)
In 10 games, he's helped the Mountaineers to a share of the SoCon title and
completed 235-of-361 pass attempts (65.1 percent) for 2,905 yards and 19
touchdowns (against seven interceptions). He has carried the ball 108 times for
334 yards and five touchdowns.
Other nominees on the Watch List are quarterbacks Casey Brockman of Murray
State, Jimmy Garoppolo of Eastern Illinois, Taylor Heinicke of Old Dominion,
DeNarius McGhee of Montana State, Wynrick Smothers of Central Arkansas and
Brad Sorensen of Southern Utah; running backs Zach Bauman of Northern Arizona,
Shakir Bell of Indiana State, Jamaine Cook of Youngstown State, Matt Denham of
Eastern Kentucky, Timothy Flanders of Sam Houston State, Miguel Maysonet of
Stony Brook, Terrance West of Towson, Deonte Williams of Cal Poly and Zach
Zenner of South Dakota State; fullback Eric Breitenstein of Wofford; and wide
receivers Erik Lora of Eastern Illinois and Aaron Mellette of Elon.
Bios of all 20 players can be found at http://tiny.cc/264bhw.
The Payton Award will be voted on by a national panel of sports information
and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries
following the regular season. The top three vote-getters will be invited to
the FCS Awards Banquet and Presentation on Dec. 17 in Philadelphia.
They will be joined at the banquet by the winners of the Buck Buchanan, Jerry
Rice and Eddie Robinson awards, which also are presented by The Sports Network.
The Buchanan Award honors the FCS defensive player of the year, the Rice Award
goes to the FCS freshman of the year and the Robinson Award honors the FCS
coach of the year.

May I humbly offer a suggestion? There is a website dedicated to situations where moms who can't feed their babies their own breast milk can get donor milk for free or for the cost of shipping it's Milkshare.org
I also have combated systemic yeast bacteria...very painful and difficult to say the least. Have you tried the candida diet? It did wonders from me but it was very hard work.
I have been thinking a lot about this debate, and others like it. I feel that it is similar to the debates between stay and home moms and working moms that has been going on for the last few generations. As women, we need to support each other's choices, as long as they are just that, educated choices. Whether it is a home birth or hospital, medicated or unmedicated, breast fed or bottle, SAHM or working, circumcise or not, home schooled or public, as long as we are getting the information out there, we must respect each other and our choices. The purpose of forums like these, as I see it, is to make us mindful about our choices, not give us an opportunity to judge.

Should Smokers Pay More for Health Insurance?
Last week, Dallas County in Texas joined the growing ranks of employers that charge employees who smoke a higher monthly health insurance premium than employees who don't. It's an idea that's gaining momentum across the country -- but will it work to reduce smoking, or just to penalize the nicotine-addicted?

What makes Zeagle BC's different?
Zeagle BC's are flexible, modular systems of components that integrate all buoyancy related elements, including weights, into a compact and efficient system. When it comes to sizing and configuring a buoyancy system for you, Zeagle buoyancy systems offer options that are simply not found in other manufacturer's products. The modularity and interchangeability of Zeagle components means that if in the future you change the kind of diving you do, your BC can change, too.
Are Zeagle BC's worn differently?
Yes. Because of the uniqueness of the design, the Zeagle System will fit quite differently from a conventional BC. The waistband will be lower, well below the diaphragm (so it won't restrict your breathing), the front of the BC is open, reducing restrictions further, and the buoyancy is low down on the back and sides, where it can expand outward without compressing your chest. The result is greater comfort and a more balanced attitude in the water.
What's the Personal Fit System?
People come in more than five sizes- the Personal Fit System is a system of interchangeable components that allows your Zeagle dealer to custom fit a buoyancy system to your body and your style of diving. In addition to fitting waist size, chest size, and torso length independently, we can adjust the style of various components and the amount of lift in the buoyancy system to match the type of diving you do.
How can I use Twin Tanks?
All Zeagle Ballistic BCs (Ranger, Tech, 911, SAR) as well as backplate systems, can be used with twin tanks. The easiest method is to use the Twin Cylinder Mounting Plates
What about construction and warranty?
All Zeagle Buoyancy Systems are hand sewn from the best available materials and heavily reinforced at all stress points. Our style of construction is labor intensive and expensive, but it results in a more durable, better fitting BC. Individual components of the system are replaceable or repairable if damaged. This quality of construction makes it possible for us to offer a limited lifetime warranty to the original purchaser. If a defect appears or the system fails at any time while you own it, Zeagle will repair or replace the system free of charge.

If you get a download or a boxed disk then you will get an installer which is a standard windows exe installer app. You can install the app anywhere on the PC but I would recommend putting it into a place that has several gigs of free space on it for all of the accumulated art. ViewingDale stores its art in files under the apps main directory. You can divert this to a different place by editing the configuration file but thats not usual.
Before you install its a very good idea to uninstall the trial version that you might have downloaded. The two are not compatible.
When it is installed it will normally put a launch icon on the desktop and a shortcut in the start menu. When you run the app it will load the last map you were looking at or the index page for the first time run. The index page is blue with some circles and text on it.
The circles are links and they will take you to other maps such as the island map that it comes with or the help pages which are all in ViewingDale format. When you see this page its quite possible that your circles are not circular but elliptical and it all looks a bit squashed. This would be true particularly on wide screen monitors. We need to fix this.
ViewingDale works is real world scaling. To get that you must calibrate it to your monitor and this is done by measuring accurately your monitors drawable area in mm. Thats right to the edge of the screen not the window its running in. If you do this and have the width and height then you can use the "Start" button and hit the System Settings button and then the "Screen Width in mm" and "Screen Height in mm" and enter the values in. When finished the page should have exactly circular jump icons on the index page.
If you happen to be using a large screen or a small screen such as either a projector or a micro tablet PC then it might be a good idea to enter the widths or heights in stages as it will change the screen progressively each time and it might be too squished if you go in one giant step. If you really get stuck then you can close it, edit the configuration file and restart the app. If you are using a projector down onto a table with miniatures then its an especially good idea to enter correct values as then all the maps will always be the correct scale for your miniatures with no more scaling - ever.
If your running a single desktop over multiple monitors then put in the value for the multiple monitors. The app copes well with spanning over multiple monitors providing your using one graphics card driving them or hardware connected cards in SLI mode or whatever fancy setup nVidia has come up with this year.
You should also check your graphics card specs and enter in the amount of RAM it has on it into the system settings menu item for it too. The more RAM your graphics card has the better it will run. I would say 8Mb is absolute minimum, 32 Mb or more is recommended but having 64 or 256 is better. There's a diminishing advantage beyond about 256Mb.
Thats the setting up done. Ill cover patching up next so we can get that out of the way.

Imaged Jupiter this morning, the seeing overhead looked good but down around 30 degrees alt it was a struggle but still have some interesting detail. Have attached 4 742nm IR & 3 RGB data sets. Each RGB is over 11 min's and derotated in WinJUPOS.
I note a quite bright spot in both IR & RGB in the NNTB, it is close to the CM in my 14:09 RGB. Trailing this spot but higher on the Northern edge of the NNTZ is another bright spot, slightly larger. The colour of the GRS is certainly darker than the last time I imaged it back on Oct 12th. The region trailing the GRS remains chaotic and there are 4 small white ovals resolved in the STB. The distance between Oval BA and the dark spot trailing also seems similar to the separation in my data from Oct 12th.
Have not had many opportunities to image Jup this apparition in anything better than horrendous seeing but I live in hope.

FAST 170601 - FAST Wideband Digital Air/Fuel Meters
JEGS Part Number: 244-170601Wideband Digital Air/Fuel Meter
FAST Wideband Digital Air/Fuel Meters
With no laptop required, FAST has developed three easy-to-use air/fuel meters for gasoline, diesel and ethanol/methanol (E85) fuels. Available in single or dual sensor units, these meters give tuners the power to read two wideband O2 sensors individually or average them together for maximum accuracy of the engine's air/fuel ratio reading. The FAST Air/Fuel Meters include several enhanced capabilities, including built-in data logging that plays back recorded information on a lighted, full-graphic display rather than a laptop. Additional features include outputs for external data loggers, digital gauges, as well as a narrowband simulator function that allows you to feed your engine's computer a factory signal while using the wideband sensor for air/fuel measurement.Features
