2Always be trustworthy. Don't ever tell any of your friends' secrets even if you had a fight - that only makes you worse off.

Ranking the most-hyped Bedlam games in history
The most-hyped Bedlam games in history:
1. 1984 at Norman: The 8-1-1 Sooners were ranked second by AP, third by the coaches. The 9-1 Cowboys were third in AP, second in the coaches poll. The Orange Bowl was on the line, though a national championship hinged on Brigham Young losing to mediocre Michigan in the Holiday Bowl. OU won 24-14.
2. 2010 at Stillwater: The 10-1 Cowboys were ranked ninth by the BCS, 10th by AP. The 9-2 Sooners were 14th in the BCS, 10th in AP. The South Division title was on the line and a berth in the Big 12 title game. No national championship implications. OU won 47-41.
3. 1987 at Norman: The 8-0 Sooners were ranked No. 1. The 7-1 Cowboys were ranked 12th. OSU still had hopes of a three-way tie for the Big 12 title, since OU still had unbeaten Nebraska left on the schedule. OU won 29-10.
4. 2008 at Stillwater: The 10-1 Sooners were ranked No. 3. The 9-2 Cowboys were ranked 12th in the BCS, 11th by AP. OU needed a victory to forge a three-way tie with Texas and Texas Tech for the South Division title and a possible berth in the national championship game. OU won 61-41.
5. 1988 at Stillwater: The 7-1 Sooners were ranked seventh by the coaches, eighth by AP. The 6-1 Cowboys were ranked 12th. OSU still had hopes of a three-way tie for the Big 12 title, since OU still had Nebraska left on the schedule. OU won 31-28.

Quark (meaning "curd" in German) is an ancient form of soft cheese that may date back over 2000 years. It is the consistency of sour cream or yogurt, making it a popular spread. But quark can be used in a large number of ways. It can be substituted for cream cheese in cheesecake, mixed with dried fruits for a quick breakfast, or blended with herbs and salt for a tasty cracker spread.

Woman jailed on drug chargeFebruary 18,2013Police said a Rutland woman wanted for failing to appear at her arraignment for crack cocaine possession was in possession of crack cocaine during a traffic stop Friday night.
Shortly before midnight, police stopped Chantelle M. Dewey, 33, on Curtis Avenue after recognizing her and knowing she had an active arrest warrant for not showing up Feb. 11 in Rutland criminal court to answer charges of possessing crack cocaine, narcotics and marijuana, stemming from an incident Dec. 13.
After executing a search warrant on Deweys vehicle Saturday, police allegedly found 5 grams of crack cocaine. Sunday, police located Dewey on State Street and charged her with felony possession of crack cocaine. Police also charged Dewey with violating the conditions of her release on prior charges of unlawful mischief and disorderly conduct.
Dewey was held in Rutland jail on $25,000 bail and is scheduled for arraignment Tuesday in Rutland criminal court.MORE IN This Just InThe Shumlin administration and legislative leaders are questioning aspects of a renewable energy...

FRANKFORT – Austin Dillow needed just two seconds. Two measly seconds to stay alive in his seventh-place match at the state wrestling tournament on Saturday afternoon.
Two seconds were all that stood between Dillow and one more chance to beat Meade County's Garrett Kenealy. But with their match tied at 4, Kenealy scored on a takedown that gave him the higher placing.
TAYLORSVILLE – As another of Lowell Gordon's long-range bombs ripped the nets, Anderson County's smiles grew broader.
And with every time the Bearcats forced Eminence into a turnover – the count was 22 altogether – the reality of what was happening Monday night became sharper.
FRANKFORT – Through three months and 27 basketball games, a familiar pattern has stayed with Anderson County's Lady Bearcats.
When Anderson plays well for 32 minutes, the Lady Bearcats are very tough to beat. When there is a lull, things aren't quite as rosy.
FRANKFORT – It was less than 30 minutes before Anderson County's scheduled tipoff when the Bearcats walked into Franklin County's gym on Friday night.
"We got stuck in some traffic and had to step off the bus to play," said Anderson coach Glen Drury.
If only that were an explanation for the Bearcats' performance at Franklin. The Bearcats never led, and after a second quarter in which they trailed 30-13, never threatened. Franklin eventually ended its regular season with a 62-41 victory.
Oldham County scored seven quick points straddling the third and fourth quarters to get some breathing room on the way to a 49-40 win over Anderson County last Tuesday night.
The Colonels utilized a very close charging call against the Bearcats that nullified a basket that could have tied things at 28.
The Anderson County Middle School boys' basketball A-team took overwhelmed visiting St. Gregory of Bardstown to take the championship of the Mid-Kentucky Athletic Conference tournament last Tuesday night. The Mustangs were never threatened on the way to a 58-19 victory.
Anderson opened the scoring on Austin Cummins' jumper and was never as much as tied. The Mustang pressure forced numerous turnovers leading to easy baskets. Cummins led all scorers with 18 points.
Success can often breed controversy. Once someone or something becomes a "success" it seems the eyes of the world are firmly fixed and the successful entity is thoroughly monitored while those same monitoring eyes wait anxiously for its downfall. With so many cell phones, pictures, videos, computers and other electronic means out there it seems impossible to "escape" attention or "get away with anything" when an action or actions are found to be amiss.
Anderson County High School senior Hannah Pritchert has signed an NAIA letter-of-intent to play soccer at Campbellsville University.
A mid-fielder and defender, Pritchert selected Campbellsville over Thomas More College and Asbury University in Kentucky, Rockford University in Illinois and Ursuline College of Ohio. She plans to major in biology at Campbellsville with a focus on pre-veterinary studies, pre-medical or pre-physical therapy. Currently, she is leaning toward a career in veterinary medicine, according to her father, Rocky Pritchert.
Chase Fink of Anderson County, won the state championship in his age and weight division at the state Youth Wrestling Tournament, held Sunday in at the Frankfort Convention Center.
Other Anderson County wrestlers placing at the state were Caleb Boyles, Braxton Briscoe, Jordan Barber and Ethan Fowler, all with third place medals and Hunter Stratton and Joe Taylor taking fourth place medals.

The overdue taxes owed on just three properties in Franklin could help pay for most of the annual paving and crack-sealing work the city wants to do.
That's why the county will have a tax sale again this year, to try to collect about $1.9 million in past-due taxes owed to local governments.
Properties in the tax sale this year include small pieces of land, homes, businesses and vacant lots in subdivisions. For example, a person owes $150 in overdue taxes for a driveway to a home in Nineveh. A homeowner is past due $5,000 for a home in the Carefree subdivision in the Center Grove area. About $20,000 is owed by a company for part of a business complex at State Road 135 and State Road 252 in Trafalgar.
When property owners don't pay their taxes, that's money county, city and town governments, fire districts and libraries have to do without. For example, Franklin is waiting to collect more than $400,000 in taxes that are overdue on three business properties. If the city got all of those past-due taxes, it could help pay for one year's paving, Franklin Mayor Joe McGuinness said.
"The tax dollars we collect are going right back into services," McGuinness said. "When someone even misses a small payment, it could be $2,000 or $3,000 or $5,000, that forces us to trim back even more."
For the fourth year in a row, the number of properties eligible for tax sale decreased. About 300 properties are listed in the annual sale this year, totaling $1.9 million in unpaid taxes. Last year, 450 properties were on the list.
In order to be included in a tax sale, the owner of a property must not have paid property taxes for at least 18 months. If an owner doesn't pay, a bidder can purchase a tax lien on the property, meaning the owner would then need to pay the past due amount to the winning bidder plus interest. If the original owner doesn't pay after one year, that bidder could get a deed for the property and take ownership of it.
The largest amount the county is trying to collect is about $257,000 for the former Red Carpet Inn site near Interstate 65 in Franklin, which has been listed in the tax sale for multiple years. That's an increase of about $40,000 since last year, and the large overdue-tax bill makes it hard to get a developer interested in the highly visible lot, McGuinness said.
If the someone buys the property, Franklin would get the past-due taxes and hopefully new taxes from a restaurant, hotel or business that would be built on the vacant ground, McGuinness said.
Most of the $1.9 million in past due taxes will get paid before the sale on Sept. 12, often with people mailing checks or dropping off payments the day before the auction, Johnson County Treasurer Diane Edwards said.
Once the taxes are paid, the property is removed from the sale listing. For the past two years, only about 100 properties from the lists compiled in July actually go to auction in the fall.
"It's like people hold on and wait until the last minute to pay their taxes," Edwards said.

My one year anniversary at IBM Design is on the horizon. Ten months in I have successfully co-created a new program that provides systematic incubation capabilities available to every business unit at company. More importantly, I have, as Monteiro puts it, I "designed" sixty designers. Together we created nine new products and services for a wide array of business domains including global procurement services, cognitive Internet of Things, cognitive education, cloud product support, cloud marketing SAAS, and Blockchainpatents pending.
I have learned a lot about myself and where I want to go in my career in the last year. After closing Happy Cog Austin, I was repeatedly asked what I wanted to do, and I didn't have a good answer at the time. It goes without saying that I wasn't prepared to go from studio owner one day to unemployed the next.
Now, after a year of working on the Incubator Program, I know without a doubt that I love leading and mentoring designersespecially the ones right out of school. I have had the privilege of working with world-class talent. But after time, I realized that as much as I enjoyed leading with these teams, I grew weary of having to start over after six-week sprints. It takes a lot of effort, energy, and passion to take a team of strangers and turn them into a highly functional product design team within a few weeks. I enjoyed the challenge, but I got tired of saying goodbye.
So I have been on a search for a different type of experience. I thought for sure this meant leaving Austin to join a team on the West coast. Many conversations were had, and multiple opportunities were on the horizon, but something seemingly came out of nowhere that I was not expecting.
A few weeks ago I was invited to join a new team at IBM with a mandate to duplicate the success of the Austin studio around the world (That's right folks; Storey Style is going international). While I genuinely want to be reunited with the Pacific Time Zone, this is an opportunity I could not pass up. In this new role, I have the pleasure of working directly with design leaders I admire, and some of you know: Nigel Prentice, Sarah Nelson, and Doug Powell, who has a new role of his own.
In my first year at IBM, I proved that I've still got it when it comes to leading team's of designers to fantastic outcomes at a large scale. My attention will now be focused on building a global community for studio directors and design leaders in every continent except that cold one down South.
West Coast, I will see you soon, but I've got a new job to do.
One evening, eleven years ago, I got an instant message from Cameron Moll. He asked if he could show me some work he recently completed. After agreeing to keep what I was about to see a secret, he sent over a hyperlink. I clicked the link and got my very first look at Authentic Jobs.
Cameron had a history of posting design jobs to his blog. Those posts became so popular that employers and recruiters started sending him emails asking to have their job listing posted. Seeing an opportunity, Cameron, got to work creating one of the first job boards devoted to our trade.
That evening, he also showed me a new addition to the sidebar of his blog featuring links to the last five job listings. Wanting to help a friend, I asked how I could put that list on my site, Airbag. As I recall, Cameron seemed slightly confused that someone would want to help promote his site, but a few weeks later I got the code and happily added it to my site.
That gesture turned into an opportunity to join the advisory board for Authentic Jobs. I served for ten years, happily peppering Cameron with ideas and thoughts on how to expand market share and revenue. Not every suggestion made it through the Storey Filter, but enough did to make me feel like a worthwhile contributor to the team.
Though I resigned from the advisory board a year ago, I am still a big supporter and fan of Cameron and his team. Last night the guys deployed a brand new Authentic Jobs that has been a long time coming. It's a big improvement, and the team should feel proud.
With that in mind, a heartfelt congratulations go to Cameron, Adam, and Myles. Nice work boys.
A weird question came across the Dear Design Student desk recently: "What are some things (if any) that designers are incapable of?"
My immediate reaction was, "nothing." Why would anyone seek to define limitations to someone's capabilities? I grew up in a community that assumed anyone from fifty miles out was better, smarter, and more successful. That point-of-view sucks and it took me decades to understand that it's simply not true.
That said, after giving the question more consideration within the context of my experiences as a designer, I uncovered more than a handful of things designers are incapable of doing.
Things Designers Simply Can't Do, The List
Each of these points was written based upon a lot of career experience earned the hard way over the last twenty-plus years. There are a lot of bad expectations out there regarding the design trade. That said, if you treat designers right, they can be capable of a lot. Give them the proper support, a collaborative environment, the freedom to do their job, and then prepare to be pleasantly surprised.
In the days after September 11th, I waited for news of terrorist attacks in small towns around the United States. As horrific as the attacks were in New York City and Washington D.C. (including the crashed plane destined for the White House), they took place in two big cities on the East Coast. At the time, I lived in Southern California, three times zones or a six-hour flight away. I felt a certain amount of security being so far away from Ground Zero (except that one time a F/A 18 flew CAP (cover and protect) above Disneyland for about an hour, that was pretty freaky).
I thought for sure a few small towns around the country were going to get hit. Nothing as spectacular killing by jet plane, but maybe a local diner or cafe shot to hell. Keep in mind, assault rifle massacres were not so common as they are now. At the time, I theorized that the best way to really shut down the United States was to hit a handful of really small towns in Middle America. Thankfully, it never happened.
This evening I read the attack in San Bernardino is being investigated federally as terrorism. And now, though I am thousands of miles away in Austin, I don't feel the same security via distance as I did fourteen years ago. Look, I'm not going to avoid public places, but with all the shit going down this year, nowhere is 100% safe. Nothing is off the table anymore: Elementary schools, university campuses, offices, government buildings, theaters, malls, coffee shops, and now Christmas parties.
Given the current state of our country--our government--I am concerned that our country's leadership will be more willing turn parts of Syria and Iraq into glass (that is to say, drop a nuclear weapon) than they are to conduct level-headed discourse and take appropriate action about access to weapons in this nation. I don't see the government willing nor able to come together to work this out.
So, Happy Holidays everyone! Drink and be merry, this will all pass soon or at least never happen in your townmaybe. And may little, Instgramable, birthday boy, baby Jesus bless the United States of AR15s.
"I work at IBM Design here in Austin." For many people outside the program, that statement doesn't do much to explain what I do or what IBM Design is and what it's trying to do. Even after I explain what I do exactly, I still get puzzled looks.
This is understandable. After six months, IBM at large is an enigma to me, but I'm learning. A lot of people I talk to think IBM makes the Thinkpad and that I'm required to wear a suit to work every day. Neither of these things is true and haven't been for some time.
This morning, the New York Times published a fantastic, well-rounded article on the IBM Design program in Austin. The piece provides a full overview, from humble beginnings to a group that is tasked with helping IBM do what it has done time-and-time again: Evolve. A major theme to the story, and where my own comes into play, is that for IBM to evolve with the times we have to hire designers at an incredible scale.
The recruiting pitch made by Mr. Gilbert and his colleagues has been essentially twofold: First, you can make a difference in socially important fields because IBM's technology plays a crucial role in health care, energy, transportation, water and even agriculture. Second, you can be part of a groundbreaking effort to apply design thinking in business.
The wonderful part of my job is to work with the new hires in their first three months and lead them through a six-week-long project that has a direct impact on a product or line of business. To date, I have led six teams of six-to-seven designers and front-end developersforty people total. And that's just my teams, there are several others.
We have created everything from re-envisioned service designs to prototypes for brand new mobile experiences. The work is real, not theoretical. The teams is tasked with a tremendous amount of research, prototyping, and user testing all the while learning how to interact with IBM executives and presenting their work for discussion and critique.
This is the type of work that would make the average new employee fold, give up, but not these young men and women. Oh, if I could share their portfolios with you! I'll just say that the recruiting department does an amazing job finding and hiring a lot of very intelligent, smart, and gifted designers to the program. And it is my pleasure to be a part of their first projects at the forefront of their career.
Tomorrow begins the last week of the current cohort. On Thursday, my three teams will present the culmination of their work to executives. It's nerve racking and exhilarating. Come Friday, "my" designers will move on to their assigned business unit, the 7th floor will go quiet, and I will begin preparing for the next wave of work in early 2016.
Last night Kitchen Storey and I came to a difficult decision that I hope will spare our marriage, reduce blood pressure, and result in a much happier life. After careful consideration based upon some bad history, we have decided to stop going to restaurants during their opening week. We are done spending good money on an intended experience that always falls through the floor.
And this is frustrating because we love to try new places and because She Who Flies All The Time is on the road, it's not often that we get into a place during their debut. It's also really frustrating because almost all of our bad experiences aren't the result of the food, but the quality of customer service.
What I don't understand is how restaurant workers, especially servers and bar tenders, who typically move from restaurant to restaurant seem to fall all over their faces during an opening week. Let me clarify that I don't take issue with food coming out at weird times. That is expected up to the point of ridiculousness (e.g. food not coming out at all). I get that it takes time for a kitchen to develop its cadence.
Good customer service is not reliant upon having a rhythm. You only need to pay attention and check-in with your customers to communicate, set expectations, and do what you can to avoid a bad experience. This is the basic structure of the relationship between the restaurant server and the patron. And yet somehow this all falls to the floor during the first weekmaybe three weeksof a restaurant opening.
I'm sure everyone is nice and doing what they can, but that's not good enough when we're dropping a few hundred dollars on, what we hope to be, an amazing meal. Thus was the case yesterday when we went to Wu Chow, a new Chinese place on West 5th in downtown Austin. It wasn't the white-hot mess that we experienced at Juliet's opening weekend back in July, but here again, we left the restaurant wanting for a better experience and making excuses.
I love that Austin is growing and with it an ever-expanding restaurant scene, but I'm done paying for on-the-job training for servers, bar tenders, and the like. I'm happy to be a user tester, but not on my American Express. There is nothing special gained by attending an opening other than bragging about itwhich would be cool if I was still in grade school.

Previous Clubs:FC Porto (loan), Valencia, Liverpool (loan), Valencia, Lyon, AC Milan, FC Porto, Vitoria Setubal, Gueugnon
Cissokho came on as a sub for left-back Kieran Richardson in Sherwood's first game in charge against Stoke.
But the defender was part of a "chronic" defensive injury list that hit the manager on his arrival in the B6 hotseat.
In fact, Cissokho's only other involvement under the former Tottenham boss was as an unused sub in the 3-2 away defeat to Man City.
Cissokho began the term as first choice left-back, with Richardson operating further up the field at that time.
The former Liverpool man produced a very impressive opening day display in the 1-0 away win over Stoke, a performance that earned him man of the match.
He came off in his home debut against Newcastle United with an ankle injury and then missed the Leyton Orient League Cup defeat.
He was back in the side for the 2-1 home win over Hull City and then played in the next 21 games before two matches on the bench against Bournemouth and Arsenal.
Cissokho started against Chelsea and Hull City - and then Paul Lambert departed.
He was in the side for Scott Marshall's only match in charge - the 2-1 win over Leicester in the FA Cup - before Sherwood took over.
He was sent on loan to Porto at the start of the 2015/16 season but has since returned in the absence of the injured Jordan Amavi.
Cissokho started his professional career for FC Gueugnon in Ligue 2 after being promoted from the youth ranks.
He made his debut in May 2007 and went on to play 25 times for the first team before he left following their relegation in 2008.
He moved to Portuguese Primeira Liga side Vitoria where he played 18 times before securing a move to Portuguese giants Porto in January 2009.
At Porto he played 23 times, including his first appearances in the Champions League and was part of the team that won the Portuguese title in 2009 after going unbeaten in the league during Cissokho's spell.
In July 2009 he moved to French side Lyon for €15m.
He spent three full seasons at the Stade de Gerland, playing 137 times in all and scoring twice, and was part of the team that won the Coupe de France in 2011-12.
In August 2012 Cissokho moved to Spain to play for Valencia.
He played 36 times in La Liga and scored twice in the 2012-13 season as Valencia finished fifth and qualified for the Europa League.
In August 2013 he moved to Liverpool on a season-long loan.
While at Anfield he played 19 times and helped the Reds finish second in the Premier League and qualify for the Champions League.
Cissokho has secured one cap for France to date in a friendly against Norway in August 2010.

Looking for people who dig super-contemporary fiction! If you read the likes of Murakami, Diaz, Franzen, DFW, Egan, and Chabon then you're in the right place. We've also been known to pick up an insightful, well-researched piece of non-fiction.
Our primary focus is discussion. We love to dig inside the books and find out what challenges, annoys, inspires, or educates us. We meet once a month to discuss a new book at a coffee shop or a member's home and we tend to gather along the blue line. We also like to attend author talks, special literary events, and have social outings from time to time.
