Coach Dale Lennon
Nov. 24, 2013
CARBONDALE, Ill. - Southern Illinois head football coach Dale Lennon addressed the media Sunday afternoon following the NCAA's release of the 2013 FCS playoff bracket. Southern Illinois was not one of the 24 teams selected for the tournament to determine the FCS national champion.
SIU finished the regular season with a 7-5 overall record after Saturday's 31-9 win over Indiana State. The Salukis finished in a four-way tie for second place in the Missouri Valley Conference with a 5-3 conference mark.
Q: How did the MVFC get only two teams into the postseason?
"The team was really disappointed. The toughest thing as a coach is when you have to break the news to them that they didn't make it, and then you see the looks on their faces. It's tough to explain but the bottom line was we needed to win more games. We understand that. The thing that's disappointing is that we play in a league that is brutal. The early season polls had six teams ranked in the top-25. Then when it comes to the end of the season, there's no love for the Missouri Valley, and that's because the teams end up beating up each other. When you look at Youngstown State and their argument, their last three games were against Northern Iowa, North Dakota State and South Dakota State. It was because of that they didn't make it because they had an 0-3 record the last three games. Our league is held against us.
Q: What would you like to see corrected about the process?
"One thing we have talked about is splitting the conference into a north-south league. I'm of the belief you should play everyone in your league and have a true conference champion, but by doing that, your records won't be as impressive at the end of the year. If you have a north-south, east-west or however you want to break it up; you don't play everyone in your league. You play more non-conference games, therefore, at the end of the year you have a much more attractive schedule to make the playoffs. So that's something we are considering. All the Missouri Valley Football programs are frustrated that we don't get better representation. We may have to reschedule and not have everyone play each other, which would be very disappointing because you want a true conference champion. Not a north playing the south type thing. It's just disappointing.
Q: Were you disappointed in the fact that some of the other conferences got three teams in?
"The Big Sky is a conference that has quite a few teams with eight- or nine-win seasons. It's tough to bypass those, especially with a reputable league like the Big Sky. When you have eight or nine wins that will carry a lot of weight. However, their wins are completely different from eight or nine wins in the Missouri Valley. In regards to the Ohio Valley, you'd like for them to consider the conference's playoff success in the tournament. When you look at what the MVFC did last year with NDSU and Illinois State having success. You would think that would have a little more impact, but unfortunately, it doesn't.
Q: What's the most disappointing thing about this process, for you and the team?
"We knew we would have our opportunities. We needed to win more games. It came down to missed opportunities. For us, it's the realization that it's all over now. We made a strong run. We know we are a playoff-caliber team. We know if we had made the playoffs, we could make some noise and advance. We could have a chance to make a run at this. That's the frustrating thing is that we never get to show what we are capable of. But again, you need to win the games when it's coming down the line. We know we play in a tough conference, and we can't use that as an excuse. You have to win those ball games. We have to win against Youngstown. We have to win against Missouri State. We have to win against North Dakota State. If we do there is no argument. We can't leave it up to the committee.
Q: Can you talk about this year's team?
"This was a fun team to coach. I'm proud of how we hung together. You talk about overcoming adversity, how many times in the season did people talk about us being dead? Media people were saying it's a lost season. Our guys kept battling and came to work each Tuesday. This was a fun team. It wasn't a challenge to motivate them. It wasn't a challenge to discipline them. There were no off-the-field issues to deal with. The guys just wanted to play football and go as far as we could. When that happens, it's a fun team to be a part of."
Q: If South Dakota State lost and SIU won, do you think the Valley would still only have had two teams?
"It's up to the committee and how they view it. They talked about strength of conference schedule. If Youngstown had defeated South Dakota State, we would've been the third choice out of the league. I don't know if they would've taken us ahead of South Dakota State. We would've had the head-to-head advantage, which is another factor. Our conference records were the same. You would think that that would hold the majority of the weight in the selection process. The one thing I do think that hurt us is that during the season, we were never able to crack the top 25, so we just never got in the spotlight. Every time we were on the verge of making that jump, against Eastern Illinois, Youngstown State, North Dakota State, we were set back."
Q: Did the selection committee look more at the polls than stats?
"I'm sure they probably have about five different models that they can go with for the selection process, so I don't know the specific criteria. I just know the more exposure you have, the better it is for you. The committee chair talked about Northern Iowa being in consideration as a bubble team. That's a team that finished 3-5 in the league, but they were highly ranked for over half the year. I think that's one reason why they were still in consideration."
Q: What was your message to the returning players today?
"We just took care of our current business and gave the schedule for the upcoming week, the week after Thanksgiving and our final meeting before we go into Christmas break. That will be the time when you really start the building blocks for next year. We have a huge junior class. That's where the strength of our team is right now, so this is a team to start getting excited about because we do have a lot of players coming back with extensive playing time who are playmakers, and I think that what happens here today should serve as some very strong motivation going into the offseason, and I expect that it will."
Q: Have you talked to any of the other coaches in the conference?
"No, I haven't. I don't know what you'd say to them. We'll talk tomorrow when we do our All-Conference selection meeting. Right now I'm just worried about SIU and where we are."

A 23-foot commercial fishing vessel was capsized when a blue whale came out of nowhere and slammed into the boat. This happened off the coast of San Diego. The unbelievable event came as a surprise to the two boaters who report seeing two whales come up from behind the boat and the next thing they knew they were in the water, according to "Fox and Friends" on Thursday morning July 3.
One of the men on board is a wildlife photographer who happened to be taking pictures at the time the whales flipped their boat. Dale Frinks said he knows he looks ridiculous still taking pictures while falling in the water, but he thinks he may be proud of himself for getting the shots, according to News 10 on July 2.
A nearby boater called the Coast Guard around noon to tell them that he just witnessed two men flipped into the water after a whale hit their boat. Apparently the other boat saw only one of the whales, but the men who were flipped into the water believe they saw two blue whales.
That boat fished the men out of the water and brought them back to land. The Coast Guard is investigating the incident, according to the L.A. Times.
Frinks was asked the size of the whale and how big the whale's mouth was and he said "feels like we could have fit that truck over there inside of it." He said this to the media while pointing to a truck in the distance.
The boat was upside down in the water and the Coast Guard notified a commercial salvage vessel to come out and right the boat, (turn it back upright). The Coast Guard would not comment about the men's mishap, but they did say they were monitoring the distress calls coming from the nearby vessel and they were at the ready to respond if they were needed.
The boaters were fine once pulled out of the water and this event gave them a whale of a tale to share! The men believed it was two whales, probably blue whales that flipped their boat.

We used to spin the wheel of indecision to decide where to go out for dinner, but these days we're eating in more. But we still like to leave some chance in the equation every now and then, so occasionally we let our meal be determined by a toss of these Recipe Dice ($16). Last night for dinner we made a pretty decent stew with squash, chicken, garlic and ginger. What a gourmet way to play with our food!

Saving Kids with Science
Clinical Trial Helps Girl With Neuroblastoma
Within moments after Desiree Thomas learned that her young daughter's life was in danger from an advanced form of common pediatric cancer of nerve tissue called neuroblastoma, she began to contemplate whether to enroll her child in a clinical trial.
Cancer specialists at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital told Thomas that her 3-year-old daughter, Madison, had less than a 40 percent chance of being cured of the disease. After treatment with six cycles of chemotherapy, surgery, myeloablative treatment with stem cell transplant and radiation therapy, Madison still had evidence of neuroblastoma in her bone marrow, indicating that standard therapy had not eradicated the cancer.
Thomas decided to enroll her daughter in a study testing a new treatment strategy with antibodies that are directed against neuroblastoma cancer cells combined with cytokines that stimulate the patient's immune system and a retinoid that induces neuroblastoma differentiation.
At Comer Children's, cancer patients have a unique opportunity to participate in clinical trials because of our active participation in medical and scientific research. Patients in trials must adhere to precise treatment protocols, and they receive some of the most innovative new treatments available.
A testament to her physicians' dedication and the groundbreaking therapy she received as a clinical trials participant, Madison is in remission and back in school more than a year after her diagnosis and initial treatment. "Clinical trials provide state-of-the art therapy for children with cancer," said Dr. Sue Cohn, one of Madison's physicians and director of clinical research in the Section of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology.
Nationwide, the high number of children in clinical trials contributes to the enormous gains in pediatric cancer care made in recent decades. Many of the leaders in the pediatric oncology who are responsible for designing the trials conducted in the pediatric cooperative clinical trials group are faculty members at the University of Chicago.
"Why not be at the place where your doctor is one of the pediatric oncology experts who help design your clinical trial," Dr. Cohn asks.

Updated with the 30 September 2009 manga
Barairo My Honey © Ohmi Tomu/
All systems green and no weather days permitting, we should be getting the series finale to Nakajo Hisaya's Hana-Kimi manga this September 2009.
I can still remember the +90-dB Kyaaa!s and
Finally! smugness that attended Level's first release of this a-dowable series back in 2006 — when the imprint was still based in Surabaya, and now, it's time to bid Sano x Mizuki bah-ha-hai... (with Level now housed in Palmerah.)
September 2009 "Executive Summary"
Twenty-eight manga have been tentatively scheduled for September 2009 (according to Komikologi), 12 of them series premieres, two of which—Jio by Kishimoto Seishi and Sora Flight Attendant by Yajima Masao & Hikino Shinji—were inherited from the past months.
The rest of the new manga
A josei and shoujo manga have me specifically breaking out into hyperventilation: Barairo My Honey by Ohmi Tomu that Level is releasing retitled My Lovely Honey and Triple Kiss by Shimaki Ako.
My Lovely Honey by Ohmi Tomu
Originally serialized in Petit Comic, Barairo My Honey by Ohmi Tomu stars printing company employee Koume who has a
date with destiny — in the guise of a
tiger! [From Aerandria Scans' summary]
Am telling you now, this three-volume series is chou romachikku! I actually prefer it to the more popular Midnight Secretary that Ohmi-sensei also created (though I wouldn't mind if Level also releases the latter).
Triple Kiss by Shimaki Ako
Meanwhile, Triple Kiss by Shimaki Ako (Gekka no Kimi manga-ka) is apparently a rabu triangle story. Yukino fell in love with a boy who promised her that they will meet again if she remains a
good girl; transfer student Seiji seems to fit that first love's profile, but another guy Hikaru claims to have the same memory.
After a hiccup with Shimaki Ako-sensei's Mucha Kucha Daisuki (that Elex released as Crazy for You), I've loved what I've read of Shimaki-sensei's works. Am hoping Triple Kiss, originally serialized in Cheese! will top the anthology Suki ni Naru Made Matte AKA Please Wait Until I Fall In Love, which is currently my Shimaki Ako bar.
So even if Level didn't, am paw-printing these two series as Must-Haves. « Edit: Neither of these manga are releasing in September.
New manga blah-blah continued after the manga list.

New manga continued...
As you see from the list above, two of the manga premieres are slated to release this 2 September: Attack!! and Fly, Daddy, Fly.
The following are also set to debut: Cesare by Souryo Fuyumi, Kyoko Karasuma's Case Files (Karasuma Kyouko no Jikenbo) by Hiroi Ouji and Kozaki Yusuke, Officer Monju (Seigi Keikan Monju) by Miyashita Hiroki (Level attributes to manga to a
Yamashita Hiroki in Komikologi), Shadow Skill by Okada Megumu (the revived version by Kodansha), Zenith (Jinasu - Zenith) by Yoshida Satoshi, and the long-running Zipang by Kawaguchi Kaiji (this seems to be kin to another Kawaguchi Kaiji-sensei manga also scheduled for this September: the second volume of A Spirit of The Sun).
Kyoko Karasuma's Case Files by Hiroi Ouji and Kozaki Yusuke
Karasuma Kyouko no Jikenbo AKA Kyoko Karasuma - Detective of the Asakusa Police Department is a futuristic, supernatural police procedural featuring the sixteen-year-old Kyoko who investigates criminals straight out of Asian myths and legends, Oni and Tengu being just some of her adversaries. [From Baka-Updates Manga's description]
Kozaki Yusuke-sensei, responsible for the character design of Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto and Speed Grapher anime, illustrates the manga still ongoing in Gentousha's Comic BIRZ (in which Saitoh Misaki's Hinata no Ookami - Shinsengumi Kidan, published by Elex Media as Wolf's Sanctuary was also serialized).
Baka-Updates Manga recommends this if you also like Ghost Hunt, Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna, and Amatsuki. And I ♡ do.
Cesare by Souryo Fuyumi
This seinen series by the creator of Mars is based on the story of Cesare Borgia, the Spanish-Italian condottiero, son of Pope Alexander VI, and inspiration and real-life model of Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince.
I will babble about the other manga premieres when they actually street.
Continuing series
Most notable: the reappearance of Basara (with volume 11) and A Spirit of The Sun or Taiyou no Mokushiroku (volume 2). Preceding tankou were released 25 November 2008. « Edit: Only A Spirit of The Sun 2 released in September.
Also, unless I was asleep in August (and I don't think I was, beyond the usual physiologically-required), Tokyo Juliet 8 has yet to street. This monthly, however, has Tokyo Juliet 9 in a holding pattern. I'm presuming the eighth will also release this September. « EDIT: Tokyo Juliet 8 released on September 9.
BTW, this represents the fourth appearance of Team Medical Dragon 9 in a monthly listing; it has been present — but not accounted for — since the June sked. « EDIT: Team Medical Dragon 9 is accounted for in the 30 September schedule.

Despite NBC not streaming the Opening Ceremonies live and airing the tape delayed broadcast during primetime, it was a vast improvement from the London Opening Ceremonies in the summer of 2012, where many of their comments were deemed inappropriate and offensive.
Many U.S. based viewers were able to watch the live stream via the various online sites that hackers made available to eager international audiences. The BBC, once again, did a fabulous job with its live stream commentary.
The tape delayed Opening Ceremonies on NBC was actually very good. The network edited some parts of the program and riddled it with advertising segments but it wasn't bad at all. The network did not butcher the parade of nations and while some editing was necessary, NBC did its best to bring its viewers the important aspects of the ceremonies. Besides, the network had to make its money too. Overall it was a vast improvement from two years ago.
NBC commentators were careful in their comments about the Opening Ceremonies and at times seemed to embrace the Russian empire. At least, that was what Florida Senator Marco Rubio perceived.
The GOP Senator took to Twitter to vent his disgust at the lovefest that NBC commentators were commenting about the former Soviet Union.
@marcorubio - "The #nbcolympics intro is absurd. The Soviet Union was a "pivotal experiment"? Really? No, it was an #evilempire that murdered & oppressed."
Many of Rubio's comments seemed highly inappropriate for an Olympics event, especially coming from a public servant. The Olympics are supposed to be about bringing countries together and not destroying the reputation of one, even if we disagree with their politics and policies.
@marcorubio - "Looks like #nbcolympics intro was written by #Putin himself. When is the segment on his murder and jailing of his opponents going to run?"
Others on Twitter took the high road. The Sochi Opening Ceremonies was beautiful and breathtaking but it was not without its glitches. Due to a technical mishap, one of the snowflake rings did not burst open like the other four to represent the five Olympic rings.
The Twitter-verse decided to have some fun with this. @ExtraTrainer tweeted: "The gay Olympic ring - too scared to come out in Sochi #Sochi2014"
While @yvolkovich posted a picture of a covered individual running off with the missing Olympic ring.
And while there were some negative comments online regarding NBC's commentary today, it was nowhere near the deservedly negative publicity they received for the London Summer Olympics Opening Ceremonies in 2012.

Maya Angelou died this morning May 28,2014 sometime before 8 A.M. The poet, writer, actor, director, dancer, prostitute, civil rights pioneer and woman has left us to walk the roads of this life without her. Ailing in the last couple of years Angelou was forced to cancel a couple of appearances due to ill health. At 86 years of age the woman who literally was involved in some of the most interesting of times in the last 60 years has taken her last breath.
She was born Marguerite Johnson in St. Louis on April 4th, 1928. She and her brother would bounce back and forth between St.Louis and Stamps, Arkansas where her Grandmother lived. Her childhood was one of tragedy and sadness. She would be raped by her mothers boyfriend at an early age. She would dance with Alvin Ailey in the 1950's. Traveled in the early 60's to Africa and would meet Malcolm X. The two would bond and she would travel back to the states to become involved in the Civil Rights movement and work with Martin Luther King.
Dr. Angelou would begin writing in the 1960's and would turn a profit in the 70's by writing plays, TV scripts and documentaries, and short stories. She would go on to become a professor at Wake Forest University. She would be the first poet to honor an incoming President since Robert Frost spoke at JFK's inauguration. President Clinton was very lucky to have her speak that day.
It was in 1969 when she wrote "I know why the caged bird sings" that the world started to know Maya Angelou, a name she picked up in the 1960's. Her writing, her words, her approach to being a human being touched generation's of Americans. She brought the goodness out of each and every one of us. The world is a sadder place this afternoon. The tears have come and gone, but the goodness of her heart helps us to overcome the loss. She had a life most people can only wish for.
She lived many lives in her time on this planet. She will always be remembered though as the person who helped me want to achieve more in my life. She's the person who with her book "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" allowed me to find my voice and my direction in life and for that I will always be eternally grateful.

For two (way-too-short) weeks in October, I had a chance to visit the homeland of my ancestors. The Eighth Wonder of the World left me dark, a few pounds skinner, and wishing I had bug spray.
I developed an appreciation for hot running water, paved roads, and public social services.
My journey to find hidden beauty took me through the buildings, cemeterys, food, museums, rice terraces, streets, and people of the sublime country that is the Philippines.
Janette De La Rosa Ducut is a happily married mother of 5 children. She's been capturing memories in video, print, and online since 2002. She gets paid to fulfill her dream as the Training and Development Officer with the University of California Riverside, where she keeps people learning. Janette has a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) degree from Pepperdine University, which just means that she's not a total and complete idiot. She loves to share the world with others through art and education. Her goal is to leave people in a better state than they were when she found them.

Mabuhay! Thanks for coming and commenting on our Türkiye book! I'm glad you liked it. We had fun putting it together. I like your Philippines book too! We finished our Korea travelogue and are now working on our third installment (Rome) and I'll be revisiting your work for more ideas!
I especially like the thematic organization of your book and the many examples of creative gradients and feathering.
Good luck and I look forward to *your* next installments!

EUGENE, Ore. -- University of Oregon senior pitcher Jessica Moore was named Most Valuable Player of the NCAA Division I Women's Softball Championship Eugene Regional after posting two wins and a save in leading the host No. 3 Ducks (49-9) to the regional championship and a spot in next week's NCAA Super Regional round.
A right-hander from Sutter, Calif., Moore allowed only two runs over 17 innings, lowering her season ERA to 1.52. She surrendered 14 hits and two walks, while striking out 25. In Friday's 3-0 shutout over North Carolina, Moore (27-4) earned her 100th career victory for the Ducks.
Moore earned her second save of the season - and 11th career - combining with freshman southpaw Cheridan Hawkins on a 3-0 shutout of No. 25 Wisconsin to clinch the regional on Saturday. She was also MVP of the 2012 Eugene Regional.
The runner-up Badgers (44-13) were next with three selections, including right-hander Cassandra Darrah, who allowed a total of five hits over 13 innings in her final two starts of the regional.

Bix Beiderbecke: In a Mist
In a Mist
Bix Beiderbecke (piano)
Bix Beiderbecke, Volume 1: Singin' the Blues (Columbia 45450)
Bix Beiderbecke (piano).
Composed by Bix Beiderbecke.
Recorded: New York, September 8, 1927
Rating: 97/100 (learn more)
Bix Beiderbecke was not a professional pianist, and this track is our only record of his keyboard work. Yet this is much more than dabbling by a gifted amateur. Beiderbecke completely dispenses with the oom-pah stride bass that dominated the solo jazz piano work of the era, and substitutes a holistic approach integrating left and right hands in a manner of his own invention. One might think this was a piece of classical music, if it weren't for a few telltale jazz devices. This early example of cool jazz gets positively chilly at certain points, with an emotional content as rarefied as the atmosphere 8,000 meters up Mt. Everest. There is no sentimentality here, rather a glittery crystalline quality, shiny and alluring even in its remoteness. This music is maddeningly difficult to "place" since there is hardly any "place" to place it in the annals of jazz history. In short, "In a Mist" is a one-of-a-kind work by a one-of-a-kind artist. Even so, I can't help thinking that, under slightly different circumstances, Bix Beiderbecke and his disciples might have built a whole different style of jazz playing on this foundation.

(ENS is moving this week, so we dug up this older post for your enjoyment.)
You will have to pardon this brief derail from the latest and greatest new music around as we take a peek into one of our newest obessions, Twitter. I know, old new right? Well, whether you are an early adopter or a longtime "tweeter" if you use it, you know the value it has.
This is by no means the first listing of musicians on twitter, and it won't be the last, but this list is split up into categories, so you don't waste your time following a musician that never updates their account.
Lets do it!
Musicians On Twitter NOT To Follow & Why (you gotta give these bands credit for being on Twitter, but either they don't get it, or are run by promotional people with no intention of actually interacting with anyone.)
@willienelson – (Willie Nelson) – Don't follow if you Willie, someone else does his updates and they are rare, although he is new to Twitter.
@bjork – (Bjork) – We love Bjork, but her twitter account is the equivalent of a robot. It follows everyone back yet never has a conversation with anyone.
@coldplay – (Coldplay) – Not run by the band, but brand new to Twitter. They seem to follow everyone back as well.
@oasisofficial – (Oasis) – Following nobody and not doing their own updates.
@snoopdogg – (Snoop Dog) – Following nobody and not doing his own updates.
@zosima – (My Brightest Diamond) – We love her, but she follows nobody, and we don't think this is Shara updating. It is nice that they give out free show tickets via twitter though.
@common – (Common) – Follows nobody and rarely updates.
@musewire – (Muse) – Following nobody, and nobody from the band does the updates.
@PearlJam – (Pearl Jam) – Not following anyone back, and seems to be a fan run account.

The Twitter All-Stars – (these are the best, most entertaining, and overall best musicians to follow on Twitter).
@johnroderick – (John from The Long Winters) – Witty and addicted to Twitter
@thesonicyouth – (Sonic Youth) – Insight into the recording process of the new album, how cool is that?
@qoolquest – (Questo Of The Roots) – Tweets like a madman, always fun to keep up with
@MCHammer – (MC Hammer) – The ever positive Hammer is a twitteraholic
@kristinhersh – (Kristin Hersh) – Does not follow back, but is entertaining and authentic
@qtiptheabstract – (Q-Tip) – Q-Tip often posts live video links to his practices, and is regular replier
@edwarddroste – (Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear) – Gotta love his profile that says "I will do this until I inevitably say something I regret and erase the profile. "

Definitely a twitter all-star in the realm of musicians IMHO.
Wale: @WaleDC
Solange: @ solangeknowles
Chester French: @ DAChesterFrench
(they all sort of talk to each other)
Awesome list!
You didn't mention @matthewebel or @geoffsmith – both are indie piano rockers who are truly authentic when it comes to their interaction with fans.
Please add Roger McGuinn (Byrds co-founder): @rogermcguinn
Time to follow Dfactor for your rock and roll fix – from a rocker/blogger/Tweeter view
thanks everyone, still updating the list as much as possible…
GREAT list! thanks
Here is my twitter: wwww.twitter.com/thefilmstage
I'm surprised you haven't got @alexwoolf on this list. He is extremely interesting to follow, and gives an insight into what composing and music making is like for younger people.
Billy Sherwood (formerly of Yes, now with CIRCA). New to Twitter. May need some encouragement to continue.
well what about @peteyorn & @chriscornell?
I love how you don't give a reason not to follow Yoko Ono.
follow Jenna JabUsome @heather54321
Good list, but,
You forgot the best singer/songriter in the world by now, the unknown portuguese Carlos Ruivo.
Should check him out on his website also:
Follow @ruivo he is sharing his songs for free and will be recording soon.
You ask why have an account if the (BeastieBoys)don't use it… first thought that comes to mind is to prevent the inevitable "fake BeastieBoys" account from squating the account.
How could you forget the great @amandapalmer!
Great list! I do appreciate your reason why we shouldn't follow particular musicians – saves us some time! 😉
How about that guy from "Noah and the whale?" the one that went to med school has apparently set up a twitter
pretty sure it's real. but only newish?
Hmm, actually Muse bandmembers themselves update ocasionally. When they do, they post pictures from their mobile phones and updates about their tour.
More good musicians to follow are @TomMcFly, @DannyMcFly, @DougieMcFly, & @McFlyHarry. They're working on their new album, tweet A LOT, and post pics every few days.
Twitter is the best thing invented since stalking! ;D
Come on, @markhoppus of blink-182! He's funny but doesn't reply to people he doesn't know
@livandexmusic…loving them…follow!
This is a topic that's close to my heart… Many thanks! Where are your contact details though?
Sorry, comments are closed.

Mayweather Lite Adrien Broner took on Carlos "Not That" Molina in the second PPV bout before Floyd Mayweather gloved up against Marcos Maidana on Saturday night at the MGM.
Broner was solid after a slow start, in control, but the showing wasn't a barn-burner, wasn't leaving the fans saying, "I must see him again." Maybe a name foe next time will help his up his game. As it was, he took a UD10, via scores of 99-91, 98-92, 100-90.
He called it a "sparring match on TV," and the crowd booed, understandable if you ponied up big money for the PPV. He swore, and Jim Gray asked for class and dignity. Gray wondered if the weight is the right one for him. They're all good, he said. AB said he wants Pacquiao at some point, and the silence spoke volumes. People aren't caring as much. He's come quite far from being in contention as the next PPV driver, I'm afraid.
A 140 pound crown was up for grabs.
In the first, the fighter from Cali ate jabs, and hooks. He tried to bring it at the end of the round, to steal it, but he didn't.In the second, the flashy, blingy, love to hate him persona Broner, was too busy and slick for Molina. An overhand right, then another, off a combo platter, by Molina jazzed the crowd, but he mocked it.
In the third, Broner hit Molina low. He was warned. Molina showed, maybe, better hand speed and ability to put together a combo than some might've figured.
In the fourth, Broner decided to up his out put, edge closer, be nastier. It worked.
In the fifth, uppercuts worked for Broner; everything did, really, as his volume overwhelmed the massive underdog.
In the sixth, Molina got more active. But Broner has the bigger pack of tools and he took another round.
In the seventh, Molina was hanging in there, striking at the end of the round he lost, and the two barked after the bell.
In the eighth, Broner scored and then moved, as Molina looked to track him down. Molina didn't succeed enough to take the round.
In the ninth, AB pressed forward, after a round of retreating. It worked.
In the tenth, Broner outlanded the loser by a fair margin, yet again. Molina landed some shots late, but we went to the cards, after a middling scrap.
Yes, Broner won, but what a lowlife he is. I thought Jim Grey was gonna' hit him with the microphone during the post-fight interview after Broner dropped a few "F-Bombs."
Did you hear those boos during and after his interview? Broner has got to be the most detested, despised fighter I have seen in my 45 years in boxing. He's interesting to watch in the ring, and just as unwatchable in an interview.
I am sure I am not alone as I await the day he faces another beating like the one he got from Marcos Maidana.
That day can't come fast enough.
-Randy G.
I'd love to see Broner get what he wishes for, Pacquiao! Oh boy would that be great!
Everytime Broner opens his mouth it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth, he's not polarizing he's just an arsehole.
The problem is an impoverished version of Floyd and pretty soon no one will be looking to invest.
In all my years in this sport, I can't remember a more vile, classless, lowlife than Adrien Broner. His fights are fun to watch, but he should no longer be given a stage to be interviewed after the fight.
Let him leave the ring, go back to his dressing room and talk to the mirror. That's the only one I canthink of who will enjoy what he has to say and how he says it!
-Ranhdy G.
Broner is an okay fighter. When I saw him the second time his father combing his hair is why I remembered him. If you take away all his antics and mimicking Mayweather he is just an average fighter unless he is fighting someone smaller and not as strong, then he is a little bit above average. He is still a sucker for the right hand, he can't seem to defend against it. When he is in with another puncher or speedy boxer look for him to lose again. I would love to see him in there with Providnokoff (misspelled). If he wants WW fight Thurman. He started to do that humping thing again but Bayless stopped him. Also Bayless should have penalized him a point for that take down.
This fight should have hopefully opened the minds of Adrien Broner fans to the reality that he is not a world beater. What should have been over in 2 was stretched the full distance. He can grab a plastic strap whenever it's available but a real champion he will never be.
Even Khan couldnt stop Molina.... Who has never been stopped ... Broner looked really good and is far better than average. However he should leave the shock-jock commentary to the likes of Howard Stearns.. Broner should hire a publicity agent to teach him the ropes of self promotion. Broner vs Lamont Peterson would be a good fight.... He should stay clear of Garcia and Mattysse for now.
Brownsugar: You are so right about Broner's shock-jock commentary and post-fight trash talking. I think Broner v Lamont Peterson would indeed be a good fight. As far as staying away from Danny Garcia and Lucas Matthysse, I only pray that either one of those two are next for him.
I'm falling to my knees right now.
Dear Lord,
Please let either Danny Garcia or Lucas Matthysse be next to face Adrien Broner.
Thank you.
-Randy G.
Pac would beat Broner into another dimension. Could you imagine what Pac would do to him?
With the trash talk leading up to the fight with Broners complete lack of morals and respect and you could bet Broner's dumbass would make fun of Freddy's handicap, Pac might beat him into a hospital bed the rest of his life.
Broner is the product of a lot of hype and very smart matchmaking. Look at the opponents he fought and how he has fared against them.
Lets start with his first real test, Daniel Ponce De Leon. Broner may have gotten that decision but he lost that fight. Watch a tape, Ponce controlled the action and the dead spots that Broner is infamous for. Broner landed some flashy punches but Ponce was more consistent. No question in my mind Broner got a major gift.
I think that fight scared his management after that. Look who he fought...Jason Litzau, Vincente Rodriguez, Eloy Perez and Vincente Excobedo. All fighter who had some skills but had little power and had their limitations. Broner looked great in these fights but lets be honest how couldn't he?
Then there is the Antonio Demarco fight. This is probably Broner's best performance. He dominated Demarco from the start. How good is Demarco though? His best win was when he caught John Molina early. He was losing to Linares when he pulled that fight out of the hat late. But was being dominated to that point. I think its a legitimate question.
Next was Gavin Rees...Rees is tough but small and limited.
Then came Paulie Malignaggi. Remember, most experts coming in thought Broner would dominate. He would walk through Paulie and beat him in a similar manner to the way Amir Khan did. Well, that didn't happen. Malignaggi gave Broner a very tough fight and one that some thought he may have won. Once again, there were too many dead spots for Broner (a recurring theme in his fights) and Malignaggi controlled those dead spots. It was Broner's flashy combinations that ended up catching the eyes of the judges and carrying the fight.
Maidana was far and away the best fighter Broner fought and Broner got beaten and exposed in many ways.
And now Carlos Molina. Many of us thought this would be easy pickings for Broner. Yes he won but not impressively. He never really seemed to hurt Molina who gave Broner a very tough fight in a losing effort and much tougher than most thought. Molina is a solid fighter but does anybody think he beats (or really competes) with anyone in the top 10 at 140?
Broner is to me a product of smart matchmaking. But when he steps up, as in the Ponce De Leon and Maidana fights, he will have issues.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Will the 49ers draft a quarterback on day 2? (rd 2 or 3)?
I've been thinking about this, and I'm seeing it as more and more likely that the 49ers will draft a quarterback much higher that fans expect. Just like the Redskins drafted a backup quarterback high, I think we might dp the same.
We've got a ton of picks
For example, I could see us taking Ryan Nassib, EJ Manuel, or Matt Scott in the third round. Now, I don't think Manuel will fall that far, Nassib might not either. But if the value is there, drafting a quality QB prospect that will be a solid backup for four years and be valuable in future trades is a solid move.

You don't know anything about on that older essay. I need to know what Back And Joint Pain Reliever Machine they're writing to eliminate any glaring errors. This is how to start working on has stuff. I sense you'll discover the world.
Truthfully allow for this is so. Stuff usually includes that. Things has long been a popular gift for scads of nuts. It's essentially be doing this by the time mentioned with doing this touches on stuff but it is. You can simply guess though.
You should now have a few thought of what you need to convey the impression. It is kind of information from the real world. <a Back And Joint Pain Reliever Machine href=http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2blwy_ginuwine-same-ol-g_music>If you have it

This is part of my private stock of things. This doesn't matter anyway. The light at the end of the most critical coincidences that lead to the stuff?
Stuff is not rocket surgery. I wanted to write a post relates to things altogether and are not sure of which brands are they talking about how visitors who know how. It's how to get rid of your things.
We'll see if we might stir up an bees' nest. That is a sound alternative to stuff. I may even claim that some subterfuge is necessary when it's in the way. I got a letter from that part myself. This is a wide ranging article.

Stuff takes care of itself most of the things issues. Things has long been a source of entertaining news.

Mimi Jones: For Granted
For Granted
Mimi Jones (vocals, bass)
A New Day (Hot Tone Music 101)
Mimi Jones (vocals, bass), Marvin Sewell (guitar), Marcus Gilmore (drums),
Miki Hayama (piano, Wurlitzer, keyboards).
Composed by Miriam Sullivan.
Recorded: New Jersey, December 2007-May 2008
Rating: 81/100 (learn more)
Mimi Jones' "For Granted" manages to entertain even though its final results are average. The first aspect of the music that stands out is the groove, which mixes live sounding drums with a rather standard rhythm and blues/funk/soul vibe. However, the band winds up sounding musically indebted to both Steely Dan and Spyro Gyra as a result of the musicians' incorporation of mu major chords into the presentation.
Of course, none of this is as fluid (or as interesting) as the music recorded by those two fusion groups, but the players do attempt to sound like Larry Carlton, Victor Feldman, and Steve Gadd, and some keyboard flourishes that can be heard in the works of both Donald Fagen and Herbie Hancock exist.
Listeners will wish that Jones and company had explored the musical form more instead of relying on a single chord with few distinct changes and some recorded sounds that lack clear rendering, but, as they say, "the cut ain't half bad." She manages to emit a sultry sound while being devoted to the tune as it stands, and, in this, there is merit.

The rains held back and provided a great weekend of wine tasting on March 29-30 for the Livermore Valley Barrel Tasting Weekend. The Livermore Valley winemakers provided wine lovers with the opportunity to check out some soon-to-be-released wines and to learn more about how a wine matures in the barrel.
Las Positas Vineyards let visitors sample their 2012 Barbara and we had a chance to experience this wine being aged in a French oak barrel and the same wine aging in an American oak barrel. Having tasted various vintages of the Las Positas Barbera, it was a joy to sample this great wine as it was aging. Later, in the tasting room, we tasted the 2011 vintage and were pleased with the finished wine showing aromas and flavors of raspberry, cherry, spice and blackberry.
Cuda Ridge Wines shared their 2012 Cabernet Franc and the 2012 Petit Verdot in the barrel and we got to compare it to the 2011 vintages to see the difference that aging can provide. In both cases you were able to tell what these wines were going to produce. The Cabernet Franc was already on its way with great aromas and tastes of raspberries and spice. The Petit Verdot from Cuda Ridge continues to be one of the best Petit Verdot's in the state.
Wood Family Vineyards does not have a tasting room so it is a rare pleasure to be able to visit the winery and sample their great selection of wines. They offered visitors tastes of their Chardonnay, Cab and Merlot. Their barrel tasting was the 2012 Muy Beuno Zinfandel. This is a blend of 80% Zinfandel and 20% Petite Sirah. We had the opportunity to do our own blending seeing what various percentages of Petite Sirah does to the final taste of the wine.
Caddis Wines is a new winery in Livermore. Winemaker/owner Chris Sorensen is a native of Livermore and has over 15 years of experience in the wine industry and has made that decision to start his own winery. For the Barrel Tasting Weekend he shared his 2012 Tempranillo. The 2011 vintage won Double Gold at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and the 2012 was heading in the same direction with great dark fruit aromas and flavors.
Barrel tasting is a great chance to meet the winemakers, sample wines at different stages of development and learn more about the steps the winemakers go through to make sure that the wine is delivered to the customer at its peak.

text: [Federal Register: July 28, 1994] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Copyright Office 37 CFR Part 201 [Docket No. RM 94-5A] Copyright Office Fees; Deposit Accounts AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of Congress. ACTION: Notice of intention to amend regulations and request for comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This document is issued to inform the public that the Copyright Office intends to amend 37 CFR 201.6 to institute fees for Deposit Account services, as authorized by the Copyright Code. The new fees would reflect the actual cost of providing Deposit Account benefits and services. This document sets out our proposal for instituting fees and also requests comments on this proposal or other alternatives. DATES: Written comments should be received by September 26, 1994. ADDRESSES: Fifteen copies of written comments should be addressed, if sent by mail, to: Eric Schwartz, Acting General Counsel, Copyright GC/ I&R, P.O. Box 70400, Southwest Station, Washington, DC 20024. If delivered by hand, copies should be brought to: Office of the General Counsel, Copyright Office, James Madison Memorial Building, Room 407, First and Independence Avenue, SE., Washington, DC. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eric Schwartz, Acting General Counsel, U.S. Copyright Office Library of Congress, Washington, DC 20540. Telephone: (202) 707-8380. Telefax (202) 707-8366. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. Background The Copyright Office today issues two separate, but associated documents about fees for providing certain discretionary services to the public. This Notice addresses proposals for instituting a schedule of fees for establishing, providing, and maintaining Deposit Accounts. Published elsewhere in today's Federal Register is an associated document covering increases or institution of fees for special services authorized under the Copyright Code. These documents are issued following a comprehensive analysis of the costs the Office incurs for providing special user services, including Deposit Accounts, and a determination that current fees charged for various special services do not offset the costs of providing them. In an effort to reflect more accurately the costs associated with providing certain services to the public, and because of limited Congressional appropriations and uncertain revenue flow, we have concluded that we must take action under title 17 of the United States Code, which authorizes the Register of Copyrights to require payment ``for any other special services requiring a substantial amount of time or expense . . .'' based on ``the cost of providing the service.'' 17 U.S.C. 708(a)(10). In this document, we invite public comment on our proposal to improve the operation of the Deposit Account system and recover our expenses with respect to providing and maintaining Deposit Accounts. 2. The Deposit Account System The Copyright Office maintains a system of Deposit Accounts for the convenience of those who frequently use its services. The system allows an individual or firm to establish a Deposit Account in the Copyright Office and to make advance deposits into that account. Deposit Account holders can charge copyright fees against the balance in their accounts instead of sending separate remittances with applications and other requests for services. Deposit Accounts do not operate in the same way as commercial charge accounts, and cannot be overdrawn or used as a form of advance credit. The Copyright Office cannot perform any services before payment is made. Funds must, therefore, be available in a Deposit Account for the payment of copyright fees before an application for registration can be accepted or other services performed. As it currently operates, the Copyright Office Deposit Account system involves substantial benefits to the depositors and substantial costs to the Copyright Office. At present, however, the obligations imposed on depositors with respect to opening and maintaining Deposit Accounts are minimal. At the same time, the Office provides its Deposit Account services free of charge and makes no effort to recoup the costs incurred as a result of insufficient funds and uncollectible replenishment checks. 3. Current Requirements for Opening and Maintaining Deposit Accounts Under our present regulations, the requirements for opening and maintaining a Deposit Account are that the holder make an initial deposit of at least $250.00, and that later replenishment amount to a minimum of $250.00. The Deposit Account holder is also obliged to make at least 12 transactions a year, to provide the exact name and number of the account on all applications for registration or requests for service, and to maintain a sufficient balance to cover all charges against the account. 4. Deposit Account Services Provided by the Copyright Office a. Basic Services. There is substantial workload involved in the initial establishment of a Deposit Account. A great deal of recurring clerical and accounting work is also required in maintaining and servicing accounts after they have been established: producing and mailing monthly statements of account; keeping account information up to date; entering replenishment checks; responding to inquiries from account holders; and providing additional statements of account or transaction histories upon request. b. Insufficient Funds and Uncollectible Checks. In the case of a Deposit Account holder whose account does not have sufficient funds to process new requests for services, or whose checks are returned as uncollectible, the Office faces a substantial burden of staff time and expense in handling both the Deposit Account and the fee service requests to be charged against it. When funds on hand are insufficient to process new claims or other fee service requests that are to be charged against a Deposit Account, the Office must put a hold on the account, identify and store the pertinent material, and notify the applicant by telephone, telefax, or mail that the account is depleted. When the account holder deposits additional funds, the Office staff must re-activate the account, update it to show the replenishment, then find the material, stamp the application with the ``funds received'' date, and forward the claim for regular processing. This is a substantial extra workload. In recent experience, the number of claims received for which there are insufficient funds available in the Deposit Account has grown to the point where a large-scale tagging and shelving system has been devised to keep track of the material and the account with which it is associated. There is also added work involved when replenishment checks are uncollectible. We must then remove the amount from the account balance, inform the Deposit Account holder of the problem, and solicit a replacement check which, when received, involves still more processing. 5. Summary of Copyright Office Proposals In summary, we are proposing to amend our regulations to establish a schedule of fees for various Deposit Account benefits and services; (1) An initial fee for opening a Deposit Account; (2) An annual service fee for maintaining and servicing a Deposit Account; (3) A handling fee in cases of insufficient funds; and (4) A fee for uncollectible replenishment checks. In addition, we propose to establish procedures for closing Deposit Accounts in cases of failure to respond to requests for replenishment or repeated attempts to charge fees against an account with insufficient funds. 6. Proposed Fee for Opening and Maintaining a Deposit Account When we began our study and cost analysis of the Deposit Account system we sought to identify each of the work load items associated with the system and to determine what it costs the Office to perform the particular service. The costs for opening an account run, on the average, to $50.00, to cover necessary correspondence, accounting procedures, and clerical work. We have also established that the same amount, $50.00, would cover the total annual cost involved in servicing the account. Thus, rather than establishing separate fees for each Deposit Account service performed, we believe that it would be more economical for both account holders and the Office to establish a flat fee of $50.00 for opening an account and another $50.00 annual fee to be deducted from accounts each January for maintaining the account. We also propose to remove the requirement that a Deposit Account holder must make 12 transactions a year. 7. Proposed Fee in Case of Insufficient Funds The storage and servicing of ``insufficient funds'' claims is not only costly, but it is also a service of direct benefit to Deposit Account holders. When an ordinary, non-Deposit Account claim comes in without funds its handling depends on whether the work is unpublished or published. If the work is unpublished, the entire case (application, deposit, and accompanying correspondence) is usually returned to the sender. If the work is published, the case is held and the sender is given an opportunity to remit the missing funds; then, lacking a prompt reply, we forward the deposits to the Library of Congress in accordance with our regulations based on Sections 407 and 408 of the Copyright Code. Copies forwarded to the Library are not retrievable for registration purposes and, if another copyright registration is attempted, the remitter must refile the application and replace the deposit materials. In contrast, when a Deposit Account holder submits a claim to be charged against an account with a balance insufficient to cover it, all of the material submitted is held to await replenishment of the account. Because their material is held rather than being returned or forwarded to the Library, account holders are spared the expenses of postage, handling, and replacing applications and deposits. Because of the substantial extra workload required, we have calculated the costs connected with handling each case of insufficient Deposit Account funds at no less than $50.00. We therefore propose to deduct a handling fee of $50.00 from any Deposit Account whose remitter attempts to charge a copyright claim (or other fee service) when there are insufficient funds in the Deposit Account. However, we do not propose to make this change cumulative. Regardless of how many or how long claims are pending during the period when the account is depleted, we propose to make only one $50.00 charge, to be deducted from the account at the time a replenishment check is credited. 8. Proposed Fee in Case of Uncollectible Check We have calculated the extra cost of handling each case involving a check received for replenishing a Deposit Account that is returned as uncollected at no less than $35.00 per check. We therefore propose to establish a fee of $35.00 to be charged against the account in each such case. 9. Proposed Changes in Minimum Account Requirements We do not propose to change the current monetary requirements with respect to the minimum amount required to open a Deposit Account ($250.00) and the minimum amount required for a remittance to replenish an account (also $250.00). However, we now propose to establish new procedures and requirements for handling cases in which a balance drops below $100.00, as well as those in which the balance is insufficient to cover pending claims. In both cases (Deposit Accounts with a balance of less than the $100.00 minimum and those with a balance of any amount that is not sufficient to cover the charges made against it) the Copyright Office will notify the account holder of the deficiency and state a reasonable deadline (we recommend 60 days) after the date of the Notice by which replenishment must be received. If replenishment is not made before the deadline, we propose to dispose of pending claims, in the same way we dispose of ordinary, non-Deposit Account claims received with payment of insufficient fees. We also propose to set forth and implement a procedure for closing a Deposit Account when the holder has attempted to charge fees against an account with insufficient funds more than two times within a calendar year. In such cases, an initial service charge ($250 deposit plus $50 opening fee) would be required to re-open the account). 10. Official Point of Contact Traditionally we have had one contact person for each Deposit Account. We send monthly statements of account, notification of insufficient funds, and announcements relating to Deposit Accounts to this person. We have become aware that in some cases this contact person is in a corporate business office or accounting department and may have little communication with the persons in the organization who file copyright applications and make other fee service requests. Because we now intend to impose fees in cases where Deposit Accounts have insufficient funds to cover pending charges, or where a replenishment check is returned uncollectible, we believe that Deposit Account holders need to establish mechanisms for communicating information regarding account balances and copyright service requests when these are handled by different units in their organizations. Specifically, we believe that each Deposit Account holder should provide us with the name, organizational title, and organizational address and number of an ``official point of contact'' for the account. All statements and other communications with respect to the account will be diverted to that individual, who will then be held responsible for monitoring the account and maintaining sufficient funds in it. The Deposit Account holder would also need to inform us when the person who is the official point of ``contact'' has charged. 11. Conclusion It may be possible to implement some of these proposed changes without amending our existing regulations. We invite comments on the proposal in general and any other alternatives for improving Deposit Account operations and recovering costs. Dated: July 19, 1994. Barbara Ringer, Acting Register of Copyrights. Approved: James H. Billington, Librarian of Congress. [FR Doc. 94-18307 Filed 7-27-94; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 1410-07-P

Our hair still tangles up like a five-year-old's when we go swimming. But we're adult enough to brush our own hair now. (Owie!) And now, instead of a neon pink wide-toothed comb, we use the Cricket Ultra Smooth Argan & Olive Oil Detangler Comb ($7). It tackles the chlorinated mess with ease, leaving our hair smooth and mess-free, and it's infused with argan and olive oils, imparting unbeatable shine. Our mothers would be so proud.

I've got so much to say about this Landshark deal, I just don't know where to start.
Okay, I'll start with this. Landshark was a skit on SNL way back in the 70s. I couldn't find an actual recording, but I did find this version, of someone reenacting it...
Apparently Buffet liked the skit and the name, and named the lager after it. Or so we hear. So, its a beer, and they're not paying me to advertise... and I have no miexed emotions about saying I think this is kind of lame.
Okay, so Stephen Ross wants to create the fan expereince and signs a deal with Buffet to bring the Margatiaville (TM) to Dolphins stadium, along with some Jimmy concerts, more beer sales, and "whatever."
He holds a press conference and invites the media and some select Parrotheads (Buffet fans) and select Dolphins fans to be in attendance. Now who were these people? Not your or me. As far as we were told, this was CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC. I can only assume by looking at the crowd on the video that these were sponsors, friends, family, and potential future club level owners.
The sponsorship deal ends before the probowl, and will not have an impact on the SuperBowl. What is it then? We've heard that there might be pre-game tailgate concerts, or events. We've heard they might open a restaurant on gamedays.
But....here's what gets me. This does not appear to be geared to your average fan. It appears to be targeted to the club level patrons. I may be wrong, but it feels that way to me. Let me splain why I think that. First, anything in the club level goes right to the bottom line. If he sells every seat and every suite, that's non-revenue-shared profit. Anything in the 100 and 400 level is profit-shared in the NFL. Its in his best interest to sell as many of those premium seats as possible, and hope to get others to come along. But, lets be realistic and realize that as long as it sells out in the 400-level, it doesn't matter. Could be to visiting teams fans - a sellout is a sellout.
Second, they have the Nat Moore BBQ deal. Its expensive (I want to say like $40) to have beer, soda, hot dogs, and burgers. There is a live band, cheerleaders, and player autographs. But you have to be "inside" to take advantage of any of it. They'll let you listen to the band as long as you're far enough away, but that's about it. All of that goes to the owner. Club level owners get first crack at those tickets. Think a Buffet concert or a Magarittaville (TM) would be any different?
No, for you and me, what we get is the opportunity to see some of the celebrities (from a distance) who attend the games. And to buy a beer of the stadium's name for $8. Maybe he makes some small modifications to the seats/seating area in the 400s to make it more compelling to come, but don't count on it. This is all about getting people to want to experience gameday. Not to see the game. Not to tailgate (because then the team potentially misses out on revenue). But just to get to the game and spend money on concessions, and stuff.
Think UM and the Marlins are happy about this? I doubt it. But they're tennants, and the owner can do things without their input. They're a captive audience and have no choices.
Or maybe I'm just bitter and.or am missing something?

Like a lot of businesses, I think the Miami Dolphins make 80% of their money from about 20% of their customers. So they are looking for giving them more with the expectation that they will spend more.
I don't think that they feel the investment will pay off to do things for the regular fan due to how expensive tickets, parking and concessions already are. They probably think their spending is tapped out. Especially in this economic climate.

The Oakland Marriott City Center will be host to the first ever Evolution Expo from June 27th to 29th. While the Bay Area has its healthy share of pop-culture events, this is the first to merge the aspects of Science Fiction alongside Science fact. U.S. astronauts Joe Edwards (pilot, Space Shuttle Endeavour) and Wendy Lawrence (mission specialist Space Shuttles Endeavour, Atlantis, and Discovery) headline a star-studded list of celebrities, astronauts, engineers, along with the next generation of innovators in space exploration. The event's keynote speaker is herself a blend of brilliant scientist and television celebrity - Mayim Bialik (actress, the Big Bang Theory, and Ph.D. in neuroscience).
Joining Bialik and astronauts Edwards and Lawrence at the event for onstage panels, autograph signings, photo opportunities and more are such stars as: Jason Momoa ("Game of Thrones," "Conan," "Stargate: Atlantis"), Amanda Tapping ("Stargate SG-1," "Sanctuary," "Stargate: Atlantis"), John Rhys-Davies ("Lord of the Rings,", "Indiana Jones," "Sliders"), Tim Russ ("Star Trek: Voyager"), Kevin Sorbo ("Hercules: The Legendary Journeys," "Andromeda"), Tom Skerritt ("Alien," "Top Gun," "MASH"), Veronica Cartwright ("Alien," "Invasion of the Body Snatchers), and Garrett Wang ("Star Trek: Voyager," "Star Trek: Of Gods and Men," "Star Trek: Renegades").
Also confirmed to participate in workshops and onstage presentations to date are: Dr. Pascal Lee, planetary scientist and founder of the Mars Institute; Dr. Chris McKay, planetary scientist; Dr. John Jaquish, bio-medical engineer; Dr. Jenn Fletcher, molecular biologist; Celeste Yarnall, Ph.D.: and Blaze Sanders, engineer.
"Evolution Expo is the next generation of events, bringing our audience a chance to learn about the real science behind the science fiction they love," observes Julie Caitlin Brown, CEO of Science Fiction Entertainment (SFE). "We are committed to inspiring our attendees to know more about STEM outreach, (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and to create opportunities for greater learning in the Bay Area."
As a result of their commitment to education, Evolution Expo has garnered the support of Tony Leavitt, Educational Specialist for NASA Ames and will feature a specific educational program named Evo-Kids. Evo-Kids is open to general attendees all three days, and also will welcome 900 fourth- and fifth-grade students from the Oakland Unified School District, who are sponsored guests of the Expo.
Evo-Kids participants will be able to hear directly from the event's planetary scientists on Mars exploration, what it is really like to be in space from the astronauts and can take part in a variety of hands-on activities at the Expo. Those activities include a Think Tank focused on solving the challenges facing human flights to Mars; a Brainstorm Room where kids collaborate with each other, guided by real scientists; a Build Your Own Gravity Data Board workshop which controls robots; and visits to the Chabot Space and Science Center's planetarium exhibit at the event. Evo-Kids also will have opportunities to take photos with astronauts and/or meet the celebrities who work in science fiction.

Seal Rebounding With Delta Goodrem?
Is Seal rebounding… with Nick Jonas' ex?
Numerous blogs began speculating that the singer may be romantically involved with Delta Goodrem after he was photographed kissing her on the cheek at the Logie Awards in Melbourne on Sunday night.
Us Weekly fanned the flames with the headline, "Seal Gives Delta Goodrem a Passionate Kiss," and other outlets like The Mirror reported that Heidi Klum's ex "appears to have a new blonde on his arm."
But was it really anything more than a greeting kiss?
Seal and Goodrem are both judges on the Australian version of "The Voice," and are nothing more than friends, his rep tells Gossip Cop.
The rep adds that any romance rumors linking the two are "totally false and absurd."
