A 60 year-old great grandmother, a single mother and a woman whose health has been compromised by the tar sands pipeline all remain in jail today, facing up to three years in jail for their peaceful protest last summer.
Vicci Hamlin, Lisa Leggio and Barbara Carter (also known as the Enbridge 3) locked themselves to machinery to block the construction of Enbridge's line 6B tar sands pipeline last July.
The pipeline spilled more than a million gallons of tar sands in 2010, fouling over 70 miles of the Kalamazoo River. The spill still hasn't been fully cleaned up, despite passing the deadline set by the EPA.
The three women were found guilty in January on obstruction and trespassing charges. During the four day trial, the judge refused to allow the defendants to discuss the 2010 oil spill or other environmental issues that motivated the non-violent protest.
After the verdict was reached, Ingham County Circuit Judge William Collette canceled bond for all three and remanded them to the Ingham County Jail until their March 5 sentencing hearing. The ruling surprised and angered many, since it is generally only warranted when the judge believes the defendants are a flight risk or pose a serious threat to the community.
In a press release, the Michigan Coalition Against Tar Sands (MI CATS) said:
Hamlin, a 60-year-old who on Monday became a great-grandmother, has been involved in social activism since the 1960s and until being taken into custody worked as a domestic abuse counselor in Indiana. Twenty-two-year-old Carter lives in Detroit and works with the homeless community. She is an active member of Occupy Detroit and lives three miles from a tar sands refinery which she says makes it hurt for her to breathe when she enters or leaves her home. Leggio, a single mother of two, is expecting her first grandchild next week. Originally from Brooklyn, she was active in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and organized with Occupy Sandy – logging almost 200 hours of service time in two weeks.
During the trial, the women were not be able to argue that their actions were "environmentally necessary" although all three have been personally affected by the environmental and health effects of the industry.
With a looming climate crisis, unjust laws continue to allow for the destruction of the environment, communities and public health – making nonviolent actions like the one these three women took, necessary. Residents and activists say they will continue to work tirelessly to stop the transporting and refining of all tar sands oil.
Concerned citizens are asked to sign this petition calling for the release of the Enbridge 3. The petition currently has over 36,000 signatures.

Coming over the Silk Road to Anatolia from the Turks ancient homeland, the art set out from Bukhara in Turkestan, picked up its name Ebru in Iran, and settled in Anatolia. In the West however this art is referred to as Turkish marbled paper.

Whole wheat banana bread that is moist and tender (without any dairy!) and studded with raisins, nuts, and chocolate chips. A thick slice of this would drive away any Monday blues!
Yet again, you are going to hear about moms. We just had our graduation ceremony this weekend! Trying to explain homeschool graduation to someone who hasn't been would take a good hour or two (not kidding) so I'll only say my Mom was graduation director this year. And she, along with all the other parents, worked incredible hours to pull graduation off. Because we don't have hundreds of graduates, the parents are given a couple minutes to talk about and send off their child. Although the Dad usually speaks, there was a consistent theme of "without your mom, this wouldn't have happened." It is so true. I would not be able to take the tests I take and pass the classes I do without my mom. This year's graduation was the fastest ever (woot woot!) and was really fun and I'm awfully proud of Mom for getting it all done. I still don't think I'm ready to graduate next year though … 😉 At least I've got a year right?
In addition to realizing how incredible homeschooling moms are, I realized how meaningful gifts are. As a graduation gift for my Mom, the seniors gave her a bag full of fresh fruit and lemons and avocados. I was thrilled! And then I saw that they had also gotten her a big bag of Enjoy Life chocolate chips. I couldn't believe they had gotten it – just for me! Gifts like that are incredible blessings. One of my friend's moms also gifted me this weekend and I was blown away. She told me that I didn't have to take it if I didn't want to, but she wanted to me accept it. It was a gift that she wanted to bless me with.
I realized, through her words, that there are two kinds of people in this world. There are those who can accept gifts and those who can't. I tend to be the one who can't accept gifts without feeling some sort of guilt or needing to repay for it. But that takes the joy away from the giver and I never like it when someone does that to me. It is Biblical to give and receive gifts and I am learning to accept the gift and remember, God is the giver of all good gifts and He wants to use people to bless other people. When I refuse to just bask in His grace, I take away the joy from me, from the person, and from Him. Accepting the gift is learning to accept that I can't earn some things. Love, joy, grace – I can't earn those things and yet I try. Dragging out the thank you for your thank you (Bethany? 😉 ) doesn't give me peace. Trying to earn the thank you doesn't give people peace. There is something special about sharing the joy of a gift without guilt. It is special and even more meaningful than the gift itself.
So Mrs. DeWolf, if you are reading this, thank you for helping me realize that it is ok to just simply accept gifts. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, especially when you had your plate full. It is the little things that are the biggest blessings.
I saw a book that was talking about a man who wrote a handwritten thank you note to someone every day for a year and how it impacted so many people. I'd like to try something like that. I forget to thank people, even knowing how much it means when people thank me. These bars make a lovely gift for whomever you feel blessed by. And if this person happens to have dairy allergies, they will be even more blessed. I'm telling you, since going off dairy, it makes my day whenever anyone makes something specific for me. I don't expect people to work around my allergies – that isn't their responsibility and plus, the attention is a little much. But things like the chocolate chips or these bars will mean so much to someone with allergies. It isn't only the thought that counts, but there is a lot of truth to that statement. I'm so thankful for all of you who read my blog. I would love to thank you in person and give you one of these bars, but I'll have to settle for just thanking you here and offering you a mouthwatering picture (if I do say so myself.)
It had been a while since I had made banana bread and since my coconut recipe fell through (we were out of coconut … figures) I decided to give it a go. I wanted to make a new banana bread and the half bag of trail mix was staring at me from the cabinet. I went with it, adding Enjoy Life chocolate chips to the batter along with the nut and raising trail mix. Yes, I added raisins AND nuts to my banana bread. And I loved it. I ate two whole slices after this photo shoot and I have to say, this might be the best way to eat raisins. Melty chocolate chips, nutty almonds, and moist banana bread can make almost anything good, I'm convinced.
And a handwritten thank you can make anyone's day brighter. Of that I am also convinced.

A federal grant would allow administrators in the Taylor County Sheriff's Office to purchase Taser-brand electronic control devices for the first time and, at the same time, allow Abilene police to outfit remaining officers with the devices.
Administrators in the two departments team up every year to apply for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant. The grant would allow the departments to split $42,140 for a total of $21,070 each.
According to police, electronic control devices are less-lethal weapons and can be invaluable for officers. The grant would allow the department to purchase six additional Taser-brand devices, ensuring all officers have access to one. Currently, investigative services personnel do not.
"The Taser gives us a stand off range where we can stand back, you know, 15 to 20 feet at the max and deploy it and take the individual into custody generally without any injuries to them or to the officers," APD Lt. Scott Rowley said.
According to APD Public Information Officer George Spindler, the devices were used 24 times in 2012 and 17 time so far in 2013.
Taylor County Sheriff's Office Lt. John Cummins said five Taser devices would be purchased for courthouse officers. Those officers would have a trial run on the devices to determine whether they are necessary for other deputies.
"Being inside a building in a courtroom--narrow areas and all--that would be something they could use if an incident occurred and they need to get somebody under control without the risk of hurting the public," Cummins said.
Along with the electronic control devices, police and deputies also need additional ballistic shields which can withstand rifle bullets.
"Now we're going to get enough to where all the supervisor's cars will have them," Rowley said. "Prior to that, if we needed a ballistic shield, we had to call the SWAT team out."
Police are also requesting a new DVR burner for their COBAN digital recording system and deputies also need up-to-date body armor for narcotics agents and COBAN body cameras.
Rowley and Cummins said the departments have never had an issue getting JAG funding.

Kitchen Improvements Your Cooking Will Thank You For
From Dean Dowd on December 10, 2010 in Kitchen Remodel
Does your kitchen seem as droopy and unimpressive as a night owl before their morning coffee? Is your cookingor desire to cookaffected by the lackluster space? Give your kitchen (and overall home value) a perk without pouring out your pockets.
While it can be hard to tell which projects are actually worth the time and money, these three unobtrusive changes can revolutionize your kitchen.
Fresh Paint for the New Year
A simple choice of new color can completely change the look of your kitchen. Paint over scratches, food stains, and discoloration with a fresh hueone that will encourage you and your family to ring in the New Year with style.
If youve had light cabinetry with a bold color, consider painting the walls a lighter shade and going a shade darker on trim and cabinetry, creating an entirely new and chic look without major changes.
Sleek Hardware & Backsplash
Though addressing other surfaces like flooring and window framing can also make huge improvements on an old kitchen, your hardware and backsplash provide a dramatic bang for your buck.
Start by replacing old knobs, towel racks, and door handles. Even consider adding useful hardware such as a suspended pot hanger or magnetic knife strip. In such a complicated room, try stainless steel knobs that will look great and wear well.
For your backsplash, go with patterned tile in neutral shades that can complement a variety of kitchen colors. The simpler, the better. You may need help with installation, so connect with a professional to go over your options.
Less is More
Kitchen remodeling can boost an 85.2% increase in your homes value. And this doesnt mean huge renovations. In fact, more and more homeowners are opting for small but significant changes in their kitchen.
Consider what a difference updating your dishwasher, stove or fridge can do. Or look to your kitchen cabinets for refacing, repainting or replacing. Your cooking will thank you for it.

Gaffney knows he's going to have to fight just to earn a spot on the 15-man roster, but after being a part of Boston's run to the cusp of an NBA title last season, he's aware of what's brewing this season.
"The environment in the locker room right now, it's something special," said Gaffney. "I know there's a lot of talk about the Miami Heat right now, but we're a team that's determined and looks ready to get this thing going."
Gaffney raved about the shape that players are arriving in Boston in, stressing how excited everyone is to get this season started. Rivers said he wanted his players to take it easy this offseason given the extended 2009-10 campaign, but admitted that guys were arriving in better shape that he could have imagined.
Gaffney also noted he's excited about the potential for having fellow UMass product Lasme in camp.
"It's nice to see a familiar face, even if I know all the guys [on the Celtics roster] really well now," said Gaffney. "[Lasme] looks really good, really fit. He'll bring a lot to camp."

"Mewar Kingdom on Pichola Lake" Top 5 Page for this destination Udaipur by atufft
Udaipur Travel Guide: 596 reviews and 1,924 photos
The Rajput Mewar Kingdom has a special reputation for art in general, and the palaces set on Pichola Lake are very compelling support for its reputation as a place of romance. We took an overnight train from Jaipur, sharing a sleeper with another couple, and at the station our driver greeted us to take us to our hotel. Along the way we passed a wedding parade complete with musical band. We didn't spend much time in our hotel because though relatively small, Udaipur nevertheless has plenty to do for tourists. The city palace for starters is a pleasant place to visit, presenting a complex labyrinth of rooms and vistas over the lake. Actually, Pichola Lake is but one of many in the area, several of which are connected by canals. In the middle of Pichola Lake is a lovely princely palace that appears to float on water. Elsewhere in Udaipur are various gardens, most of which have elaborate irrigation from the lake water in this semi-arid region.
Udaipur has good restaurants and evening dance productions at the local outdoor theater. During a second day, we drove up a winding road into the Aravelli Mountains where we visited other lakes, villages, and temple ruins. We visited some very old temples and watched people bathe at the ghats. I practiced my portrait photography with some local village families at their simple slate roofed homes. That night we took a launch out to eat dinner at the lake palace, one of the more expensive places of dining in India (or even the world).
The VT system doesn't reach outside of Udaipur into the low sem-arid mountains of the Aravalli Range. This region is a wonderful place to see villagers and the ruins of old Hindu temples, many of which we did not have time to explore, and in this region also is the most spectacular of Jain Temples at Ranakpur. In fact, Ranakpur, known as the temple of a thousand columns, is very unique and in many ways equal to any architectural monument in Udaipur itself. Due to its distance away from Udaipur, we visited Ranakpur on our way through the Aravelli Mountains to Jodpur. I have here a great many "off the beaten path" tips, so be persistent in turning the pages. Some of the best of Ranakpur, for example, are far down the list, but in my mind are high up in terms of priority for visitors.
- Pros:Udaipur is a romatic place to visit without so many crowds
- Cons:The Lake isn't so clean, so don't look too close
- In a nutshell:The Rajput Mewar Palace at Udaipur, Pichola Lake, Ara are Unique.

My coach smirked when he saw me trying out for track, because before that he always walking out of my Music Theory class. I carried my team to states this year. Looks can be deceiving.

PrimeSense has not only developed large, stationary sensors (like those found in Kinect), but smaller sensors that are aimed for use in mobile devices.

Additional issues among developers include the device's poor battery life.

|Marshall County Sheriff Joins Fellow Law Enforcement Leaders
Nashville, Tenn. – More than 100 Tennessee chiefs of police and sheriffs have signed a pledge calling on state legislators to oppose the sale of wine in grocery and convenience stores out of concern for public safety and health. The loose coalition called "Tennessee Law Enforcement for Strong Alcohol Laws" includes 106 law enforcement leaders from Tennessee communities of all sizes, including Knoxville, Memphis, Kingsport, and Jackson.
The announcement was made at Legislative Plaza by Madison County Sheriff David Woolfork and Belle Meade Police Chief Timothy Eads, representing their colleagues across the state. They were joined at the event by Sheriff Norman Dalton of Marshall County, along with the sheriffs of Crockett, Chester and Haywood counties, police chiefs of Knoxville and Jackson, and representatives of the Mt. Pleasant and Waynesboro police departments and Perry County sheriff's office.
"Tennessee's alcohol laws are strong, and we need to keep them that way," said Dalton. "As a law enforcement leader, public safety is my chief concern. To change our very sound laws for the sake of convenience would create more problems than it would solve. We're talking about high-proof alcohol in not only grocery stores, but also in hundreds of convenience stores statewide, where control would be very difficult. The consequences would far outweigh any benefits."
Should the proposed bill pass, the number of stores selling high-proof alcohol could rise 10 fold, from fewer than 600 to over 5,000. Currently, wine and spirits can only be sold in specialty stores that must be owned by Tennesseans, are limited in size, can have only one door, and can sell only one product – alcohol. Eads said high-proof alcohol should not be treated in the marketplace the same way as other grocery items.
Wine contains up to 3 times the alcohol content as beer, which is why it belongs in tightly controlled environments, the law enforcement officials said. They stressed that young people in their communities do drink wine, particularly boxed and sweet wines, because it makes them intoxicated faster than beer.
National and international research demonstrates that increased alcohol availability leads to higher instances of underage drinking, domestic violence and fatalities in a community. Woolfork said law enforcement departments are already struggling under tight budgets and this law would only make their jobs more difficult. Woolfork invited other state sheriffs, police chiefs and other members of law enforcement to join the effort and sign the pledge, and called on legislators to put public safety first.
"Take pride in the system we have put in place to control the sale of alcohol," said Woolfork. "Tennessee is a model for other states of how to strike the right balance between access and control. We urge lawmakers to put safety before convenience and say no to putting wine in grocery and convenience stores."

In a weird twist of timing, the old Sector Charleston Cutter Gallatin was handed over to the Nigerian Navy this morning and will head east soon.
A small contingent of Nigerian sailors has been in Charleston the last few months undergoing training exercises to familiarize themselves with the 45-year-old vessel.
Many years ago Gallatin saw service in New York City, directly after being commissioned in 1969.
In 1996, she was transferred to Charleston's warmer climate where she has had an illustrious career responding to natural disasters, search and rescue operations, and participating in numerous illegal drug seizures.
This morning, Musiliu Obanikoro Nigeria's Minister of State for Defense thanked the United States for offering support and assistance with rescue efforts for the nearly 300 school girls recently abducted by the terrorist group Boko Haram.
The Coast Guard will replace Gallatin with the U.S.C.G. Hamilton, a new generation of high endurance cutters designed to operate with fewer crew members.
The Gallatin's transfer came under the Excess Defense Article Program and is the second cutter transferred to Nigeria in three years.

Set up IP Forwarding
The successful implementation of IP forwarding enables one workstation to sit on two LANs and to act as a gateway forwarding IP packets from one LAN to another. IP forwarding is also referred to as 'bridging' networks.
To set-up:

On the workstations that will use the gateway, the workstation must be set-up to use the gateway:

Game is on ESPNU (I hear they might be rebranding it as the Baylor Network)...
I know it is petty, but anyone else hoping to see them run over and buzz through KU?
Baylor 3 and out their first series.
11:28 and another Baylor punt.
KU usually comes out playing over their heads......we'll see what happens as this game gets into the 2nd quarter.
It's over.
Yeah, 21-0 already. This'll be another snoozer.
257 yards to 17 yards for Baylor - 3 mins left in the 1st qtr
Hope Baylor hangs 80.
Yeah, that's a quicker scoring pace...but they look sluggish (how?) on the road. Do they get up to 70?
Please, please cyclone fans. NEVER fail at filling the stadium like KU does, no matter how bad we are. That crowd (or lack of) is embarrassing.
hope we beat Kansas, they have a decent running back that will probably gash us
We will lose to Kansas.

ISU-KU is going to be the game of the century.
2016 Photoshopper of the Year
We looked bad at home again.
ISU will not lose to ku
I really won't be surprised if we lose to Kansas. Definitely a game they will be very confident for.

How to Write a Resume the Employer Wants to Read
by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Nov, 2013
Over the past few weeks I've reviewed hundreds of resumes—and to my dismay, they've all looked and sounded the same. I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to give job seekers the advice that replicating an unoriginal career summary or objective statement on their resume was a sound job searching practice. But whoever did that should be blacklisted from providing career advice to job seekers. I can assure you (and I'm...
Why Keeping Your Options Open May Harm Your Job Search

It is human nature in job search – as in dating – to want to keep your options open.

In fact, just the opposite will happen. Broad Resume Nets Don't Work. By casting a broad net, job seekers drown out t...

Why Defensiveness is Your Worst Offense

An example: "Alex, your suits are nice, but sometimes they look a little wrinkly. Do you think you could...

3 Secrets of Non-Verbal Communication

New EU Sanctions On Syria Likely Delayed
The European Union will likely delay new sanctions until the end of next week, diplomats said to Dow Jones Newswires.
Earlier this week, EU diplomats told Laurence Norman of Newswires they were working on two new rounds of sanctions, the first of which would be in place by Monday.
Now, diplomats told him they will pass all of the measures, which include a ban on new European investment in the oil sector and an asset freeze and travel ban on new individuals and companies, all at once by the end of the United Nations General Assembly meeting next week.
Under this new plan, the sanctions would be in place by Sept. 24, Norman reported.

What is the difference between "try" and "try out"?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
To try is to make an attempt to do something (or not).
To try out can mean either to attempt to qualify for a team sport
or, when used with an object, to see whether one wants to qualify something for possible use or purchase.
To "try" something also means to sample it. It is also used as an informal way of ordering a particular food item, whether at a dinner or a restaurant.
And, finally, try can be used to mean litigate a case in a court of law
or test the mettle of someone or something.
A little bit more context may be helpful. Off the top of my head, I'd use "try" more in a sense of "have a taste" and "try out" like "test if you like a certain activity". Examples:
For the latter example, "try" will work, too, but for the former, "try out" sounds odd.

LOS ANGELES - Stanford's Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football David Shaw spent Monday morning addressing the media at The L.A. Hotel.
Don't really have much of an opening statement. We're 48 hours away, and we're honing down our preparation. Our last good physical practice today, and then start to get ourselves ready to play.
I'll take questions.
You have been to three BCS bowl games before this, obviously, and this is their first. How much of an advantage do you think this has been or will be in the game, the fact that you have been on the big stage before? I think the only real advantage if there is one is during the week. Our guys understand the schedule and know the schedule, have been through the schedule, understand the media days, understand the things that go along with it, in particular here at the Rose Bowl. But once we get to game day, Michigan State has played in big games, played in a big game against Michigan, Ohio State. They've been on that big stage. I don't think the game is going to be any different.
Just as far as navigating the week, if there is any advantage, it would be in that.
Derek Mason, what makes him a good defensive coordinator, and two, are there some things you can tell us how he's tweaked the scheme he inherited? That's two great questions. I think the sign of any good football coach at any position, head coach, coordinator, position coach, et cetera, is the ability to have a philosophy and have a general scheme that you believe in, but more importantly, be able to teach that scheme and then fit the scheme around the players that you have and their talents. I think Derek has done that, and you've seen him do things for Shayne Skov, you've seen him do things for Trent Murphy, do things for Chase Thomas, do things to help Ed Reynolds shine. You put guys in positions to do things that they're good at. So it's more than just having a great scheme and we just fit everybody into the scheme. It's having a great scheme, having a great philosophy, being able to teach it, but at the same time knowing you can tweak it for those guys and their specific abilities.
As far as the changeover from Vic, that's really the biggest thing. I think he learned a lot from Vic as well as a lot of guys that he's been with throughout his career, and I think the sign of any good coach, also, is being able to, I'll just say, steal things from other coaches, whether it's techniques or phrases, but also not take everything, have some things that are your own but things that you learn and take from other people.
I think Derek has done a phenomenal job of that.
Who will your honorary captain be for the game? We have actually technically three, although two sets. Helen and Peter Bing will be two of our honorary captains, phenomenal Stanford people, just real – they love Stanford University, they love this athletics program, they love the fine arts at Stanford. They've done so much for Stanford. All three of my kids went to Bing elementary school on campus. Very excited to have them as honorary captains. And the other one would be Julie Foudy, a great Stanford person and great motivational speaker and a tough athlete that I would love for our guys to be around.
Your counterpart Mark had to make a tough disciplinary decision on his linebacker. What is your toughest disciplinary situation? You don't need to name names, but I assume you admire him for making a tough step, and have you gone through that before and if you could describe it a little bit. Absolutely, I don't mind mentioning it. It was two years ago benching Shayne Skov in a disciplinary action. There's a guy that's very similar, your game day leader, your middle linebacker, the guy that sets your defense, the guy that tells everybody what to do, in some respects the heartbeat of your defense. Being a head coach it's your responsibility, and actions like that as a head coach, honestly, even help you in your locker room because guys know where the line is and they know that nobody is bigger than the program. I applaud Coach Dantonio for that because it doesn't happen everywhere, and there are a lot of places where you get a slap on the wrist and they bench you for a practice and then play you in the game.
But it's a sign of who Coach Dantonio is, and there's still some really, really good disciplinary coaches in this country that believe in setting discipline for these college athletes, which is vital to your success as a team but even more vital to their success after football.
I'll tell you this: Shayne Skov appreciated it. It's help Shayne Skov grow and mature as a man as well as a football player.
He's said that to you? Absolutely, there's no question about it. I think it set him on the path to where he is now as a person and as a player.
At this point in Kevin Hogan's career, how would you gauge his development of where he is and what is his ceiling? That's a good question. The last part is a really good question, what his ceiling is, and I'm not exactly sure. I believe it's high. I think he's had peaks and valleys this year. I don't think he's ever been bad all year. He's never had a bad game. I think he's been great some weeks, I think he's been good some weeks, but you never judge a game on one or two bad plays, which every quarterback is going to have during the course of a game.
I think where he is right now is getting to the end of his sophomore year, and I believe there's a lot of growth that has happened this year and I think there's a lot more growth to go. I think it's been obvious the games he's been on, and I'll say this, also there's a lot on us as coaches, also, myself in particular. This is getting towards the end of year two. I think we understand Kevin's strengths and weaknesses better now than we did at the beginning of the year. I think we know more about what he likes. I think we know more about what his capabilities are. I think in the second half of the year really there were some games where we were still doing a feeling out because there's some game plan things that we had in that I think he's good at but things we did later in the year I think were better for him and better for him. I think the maturity of the receiving corps has helped a ton. I think what Tyler Gaffney has been doing the entire year as a runner has taken a ton of pressure off Kevin, which is what a running game should do.
I think it's been a growing and learning process for both he and us, really knowing at the beginning of the year he didn't have all the answers and we didn't have all the answers. I think we're a lot better now than where we were at the beginning of the year, and I'm excited where his arrow is pointing, which is upward.
I know you're getting tired of me asking this question, but will Jordan Williamson kick off? As of right now, yes. Had a good day the other day, was striking the ball well. Conrad Ukropina will be up and ready to go, as well. We may go back and forth if we need to, if Jordan has some fatigue, but right now he's fresh, the ball is popping off his foot, and it looks like at the very least he'll start the game kicking off and hopefully do the whole game.
When you were growing up what was your favorite college team, when you were playing, in high school, whatever? You know, honestly it was – and it's almost like a setup question that I had somebody ask me. It was Stanford, but it was because of my family history here. My dad coached here in the 70s. I believe I was 2 and 3 when he was at Stanford, or maybe it was 3 and 4. So I was just around this place, had very fond memories of being at Stanford. Jack Christiansen and the whole staff there, those are some of my earlier memories, playing in the eucalyptus grove and that eucalyptus tree smell and the tailgating and sitting in the stadium, those are some of my earliest memories.
I've always loved college football. I liked Michigan and Michigan State. I was a rarity when I lived in Michigan, my dad was coaching at the Lions. I liked watching both teams play, had a lot of respect for both of those coaches, long time, great coaches at both those places. We went to Arizona and I loved Arizona State when I was there because my dad was coaching there.
I never had a pure allegiance to one university as far as college football goes, but the one that I always went back and enjoyed watching when I was a kid was Stanford, and that was because of our history with the school.
The incident with Shayne, when exactly did that happen? Gosh, I believe that was the first game of the 2011 season. First game of the 2011 season, yes. He was hurt in 2010, came back – was it '12? Got a DUI in the off season, suspended him for the entire off season and for the first game of the regular season. As I tell the guys, and most coaches that I know tell the guys, those are not really tough decisions because you set the rules before. You set the rules early, and the guys know what they are, and the rules are broken, those are easy decisions. They're tough to execute because of how good of a football player he is, but at the same time there's almost no decision. It is what it is and guys move on, and they have to realize that we're in college football, not just to win football games. We're in this to help young men grow, to set an example for my two young boys as they grow up, and they come to every single game and they come to practices, that there are rules for these men just like there are rules for them.
It's about being consistent, and once you have to discipline a player, to be honest, it's just like disciplining your child. You're helping them further in life.
Could you walk me through the history of you guys using the jumbo offensive line sets, the wing tight end and the on the grounder? I think some of that came out of necessity when you had some tight ends injured, but when did you first start to use it, how do you think it's evolved and how has it helped your program? Absolutely. It's been huge for us, and I don't think at the beginning of it we knew how big it was going to be for us. I'll just say it: We watched a lot of Baltimore Ravens film when John Harbaugh got to Baltimore, and Greg Roman who had just come from Baltimore two years before, we saw – we had Levine Toiolo, who was a great blocking tight end but who was still young in his development, and we needed bigger guys on the edge. If you want to run this power play you need a tight end to set the edge of the defense, a big tight end that's very physical. So we would sprinkle in some bigger guys just to get through practice, and it was great. We needed a wing tight end and we didn't really have a guy with that kind of physical stature. Here was James McGuillicudy, who had played five positions and none of them well. He would say the same thing. We put him on the wing, and to this day I have not seen a guy on our level or the NFL level that did it as well as him.
We kind of found lightning in a bottle, and it was just for a few plays here and there, and Greg did a great job of changing formations and motions and shifting and kind of deciding what we were doing, but that was kind of the beginning of it was watching some Baltimore Ravens film, looking at our personnel, seeing how we could utilize it and then Greg getting very creative and inventive. Now we've taken it over and we've done a lot more things. I give a lot of credit to Mike Bloomgren to finding our guys that have those specific talents in Kyle Murphy and Josh Garnett have been phenomenal all year and those guys being able to be those tight ends but also be able to shift and move and do different things, run counter plays and power plays and all those things and be in pass protection. Those guys have been great there.
But I think the trickle down effect which has been just about as important for us, here are two great offensive linemen, Josh Garnett and Kyle Murphy, who were not starters, who were playing between 20 and 30, 40 plays a game, so when it's time for those guys to start, you don't worry about them jumping in there as starters, these guys are playing a lot in every single game, so as a guy gets hurt or a guy graduates, you throw those guys in there and don't worry about it. We're playing eight offensive linemen a game, and to be honest it helps us recruit, also.
This game obviously intersects with a point in the NFL season where the regular season ends and your name has obviously been brought up as a possible candidate. How have you handled that issue? Have you been contacted by anybody, and your thoughts on staying here versus pursuing other opportunities? I haven't been contacted by anybody. To be honest it's unbelievably flattering. I think it's really cool. I think honestly it continues to shed light on our program, so I don't mind that it keeps happening. It keeps eyes turning toward Stanford, which I think is really cool. I told our players, to be honest, it's a testament to what they've accomplished, it's a testament to what our seniors have helped build at Stanford, to win consistently, win the right way, produce high character young men and have a football game that's exciting to watch.
So I don't mind it. I have no desires to pursue another job. As I said, I have not and don't plan on interviewing with anybody. I think it's really nice that my name gets batted around and that's great, and part of it is because I do have nine years of NFL experience, to it seems like an easy transition for some people.
But honestly I'm looking forward to playing this game and getting into the off season and starting to put together another winning season next year.

Expansion Ideas
View Single Post

One would think there is going to be an expansion based on how FoC finished but as expressed above what is to become of the Empire and how are they going to be included in a campaign if at all? While it does not necessarily have to translate into the game, the Empire diminishes alot very rapidly and could be considered a minor faction. So will the bad guys now be a resurrected sith faction with all new (and even more unbalanced) ships, vehicles and units? There would not be much in the expansion otherwise if it didnt but it will feel so far removed from Star Wars as we know it. And since Palpatine possessed the artifact and was a Sith himself then I dont understand why he would not have made use of his brethren in stasis. That whole point seems quite ridiculous though I guess someone will reply saying the old Sith Lords were way more powerful than Palpatine and he feared they would overthrow him but thats all EU s&$t is about, making things bigger and better and I couldnt care less about EU....you cant say Palpatine, as powerful as he was, and a true sith lord, couldnt control this sith army, yet silri can? yeah right....Im actually keen to seen the next expansion to see what a bastardisation of SW it is going to be.

I hadn't been able to see celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival in a long time, so we celebrated our reunion yesterday with a little nail art. Tracylee started with Sally Hansen nail polish strips in Haute and Naughty. She then painted some of the strips with designs in Sally Hansen's silvery Pedal to the Metal. Finally, she added various shiny doodads in black, silver and pink.
In the photo, I'm wearing one of my new mid-finger rings. I wear a "B" for "Brandes" but you can have any letter, number or symbol that you choose. You can also have the ring in your pick of silver ($150) or 18K gold ($335). Holla at me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com to order.
Here's another shot of the nails.
The pink accent was chosen to match a dress I'm wearing out tonight (so much hot pink in my life!). I'll be posting that soon.

Love that polish, and the ring!
Delicious nails! And I adore the mini-ring, it would look great next to my "Big G".
Those are the cutest. I could never have the patience to draw on nails like this.
Dear W
You can never have too much hot pink. Thrilled you have got your paws done x

China, a power arisen in the region and globally – Weekly editorial
Author: Peter Drysdale
China's sheer scale, its geography and, of course, its history made it a significant power in world affairs before its remarkable economic rise over the last three decades (see our Quarterly). China has suddenly transformed itself from being a 'small' economy to being a 'big' economy, in terms of its impact on world trade and output, world prices, its role in international capital flows and financial markets, its impact on the global commons (including the environment and climate) and its stake in managing the international economic and political system.
This week's essay, by Satoshi Amako, a noted Japanese scholar of contemporary Chinese politics, observes that the dominant concerns of Chinese political leaders are domestic, focused on China's economic and social transformation. In that context, President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao have emphasized the notion of a harmonious society. They are acutely aware of issues that threaten this vision, such as unemployment, problems of environmental degradation, dissatisfaction among minorities and nationalism amongst the country's youth. These challenges seem to recommend that China adopt a low posture on the global stage and concentrate of dealing with its considerable domestic problems.
China may hanker for the time when, as Deng advised, it could concentrate on domestic affairs and sort out the immense problems of development in that huge country. Amako reminds us that, as a great power already, China no longer has that luxury. Its impact on global affairs causes such feedback effects on its own development ambitions that it must now deal with its global role as a priority and we must help it in order to succeed on any front. This is a new circumstance for Asia and the Pacific, although we know something of the dangerous problems that can come with it through experience in the transition of power that accompanied the rise of Japan historically.
This is where ideas about how regional architecture might evolve to assist with the accommodation of China's new economic and political power are important.
China's vision for regional integration, Amako argues, fits neatly into its current strategy to project what is predominately 'soft,' rather than 'hard' power. In recent years China has actively courted countries outside East Asia, such as India, and this augurs well in facilitating China's continued integration into both the East Asian region, and the global community more broadly.

|Vandals take it up a notch
MOSCOW, Idaho – The 37th Annual Vandal Indoor saw some of the top indoor track and field marks in the Northwest – and in one case, the world – on Friday at the Kibbie Dome.
University of Idaho alumna and volunteer assistant coach Angela Whyte won the women's 60m hurdles with a time of 8.08 that is tied as the fifth-fastest on the planet so far this season to highlight an evening of strong competition.
In all, Idaho claimed nine individual wins with two Western Athletic Conference-leading times and 16 career-best marks in Friday's meet, which is sponsored by Runners Soul of Spokane.
"I thought it was a great day," Idaho director of track and field/cross country Wayne Phipps said. "There was a lot of excitement for the meet and some great support. I thought we had a lot of great performances in just about every event. I thought everything went really well."
Senior Liga Velvere notched her first of two wins in the women's 800m with a season-best time of 2:09.44, which increases her WAC lead in the event to nearly two full seconds and moves her up to 28th in the NCAA in the event.
Shortly after, junior Hannah Kiser went out quickly and cruised to a big win in the women's mile with a season-best time of 4:45.01. That time is the fastest in the WAC this season by more than a seven-second margin and ranks 32nd in the NCAA this year.
Velvere anchored Idaho's winning women's 4x400m relay, along with seniors Keli Hall and Lauren Schaffer and junior Karlene Hurrel. The Vandal women posted a top time of 3:49.56 in the event. Idaho also claimed the men's 4x400m relay with a time of 3:18.19 between junior Andrew Bloom, freshmen Ian Middleton and Blake Gerling, and sophomore Ben Ayesu-Attah.
Bloom also posted an individual win in the men's 400m with a time of 48.44, while Ayesu-Attah took second in the men's 200m dash with a career-best time of 21.96, his first career sub-22-second mark over that distance.
Idaho got a win and a personal best from sophomore Matt Sullivan in the men's pole vault when he cleared 16-4.75 (5.00m). Junior Kyle Rothwell took the win, plus a little bonus, in the men's weight throw when he popped a throw of 61-10.5 (18.86m) on his final attempt. That mark is second-best in the WAC this season, 38th in the NCAA and is a two-foot career best.
"Kyle has been working very hard in practice to control his tempo and control his technique and he really executed that well today," Idaho head track and field coach Julie Taylor said. "It was nice to see him, on his last throw, come through and get that big mark. It was definitely a great moment for him."
In the women's throws, sophomore Johanna Hocketstaller and senior Kristine Leonard were all over the place, and posted solid marks everywhere.
Leonard took the win in the weight throw with a mark of 55-10.5 (17.03m), just below her career best, and added second-place finishes in the shot put at 46-4 (14.12m) and the indoor discus at 150-2 (45.77m).
Hocketstaller claimed the win in the women's shot put at 46-11 (14.30m), squeezed in between a preliminary and a final race in the women's 60m hurdles. She also took fourth in the discus throw earlier in the day with a mark of 135-1 (41.18m). After running a 9.61 qualifying time in the hurdles, Hocketstaller did not finish in the final after tripping over hurdle three.
Freshman Jerrica Hauck hit a career-best 11-9.75 (3.60m) in the women's pole vault to move into fourth in the WAC in the event, while fellow freshmen Drew Thompson (8.54) and Blake Gerling (8.75) ran career-best races in the men's 60m hurdles.
Idaho will be right back in the Kibbie Dome on Saturday morning for the Vandal Collegiate, which kicks off with the women's long jump at 8 a.m. (PT). Track events start with the women's 3000m at 8:30 a.m.

Todd Harrison Interviews Robert Prechter: 'When Social Mood Turns, the Fundamentals Will Follow'
Ahead of the Social Mood conference in Atlanta, the market analyst who invented socionomics explains how his theories are playing out in today's "long top" market.
Todd Harrison: Welcome, everybody -- and thank you -- to this special edition of the Minyanville Fireside Chat. I'm here with a man who really needs no introduction: Bob Prechter is a gentleman whom I have a huge amount of respect for. I think he's a trailblazer in terms of how we think about things and how we can apply that thought not only across the financial markets, but across the socionomic landscape. It is a train of thought that I've actually practiced for quite some time without knowing that it was a different way of thinking, which shouldn't come as a shock to anybody -- that I like to think a little bit differently.
Bob-Mr. Prechter, or Bob, is the man behind Elliott Wave. He's the author of According to Wikipedia, 14 books and just an all-around forward-thinker who we're very happy to have here in Minyanville. Bob, welcome to the Fireside Chat. Thank you for your time today.
Bob Prechter: It's nice to be on a program called Fireside Chat. Usually they're putting my feet to the fire, so maybe this will be a little different.
TH: It might be a little different. I can't promise you. We're taking questions from the audience, so I'll do what I can, but I'm not worried. So, just to set the context we're going to drill down into a lot of particulars because that's why people-and we have a record amount of people here today-they want particulars, but, please, just as a starter, can you talk a little bit about-briefly-about the Socionomics Institute, how you got into this field of study and research, social mood and just a little bit of background for people who may be unfamiliar with your work?
BP: Well, something you just said really resonated with me, which is that you've been thinking this way a long time. The first time I wrote down some socionomic ideas was 1979. And I thought a lot of analysts in the market must be thinking this way and believing that the market had a mind of its own apart from the so-called fundamentals, economic events, political events, and so on, because you could look back through history and you couldn't find any of those on the chart. None of the dramatic moves were associated with any particular type of event, whether it be rising oil prices or falling oil prices or speeches by senators or even economic events that were special. And when they were correlated the market was ahead of them. So, something was driving the market in front of the economy.
So, I began to study the charts of the market and realized that they also seemed to correlate with some more interesting things, such as taste in music and the fashions that people were wearing. And slowly it dawned on me that there was something independent about what was driving the market. And it was also driving other expressions of something that I finally designated as social mood. I think social mood waxes positive, turns negatively. And when it takes a direction it changes the events that are occurring in response, so that when people feel in a more positive mood they do a number of things all the same way. They buy more stocks because they're more optimistic. They're a little more productive, so the economy improves. They wear flashier clothes. They listen to happier pop music and things like that.
When the trend is on the downside you get the opposite type of behavior, and it manifests in what you end up reading in the newspaper. For example, when the trend is up readers and corporations are heroes, and when the trend is down, you get corporate scandals left and right. When the trend was up in the '80s and '90s, people were very tolerant, for example, with immigrants. And since the high it's been more and more passing laws about we need to send them back home and this is a terrible scourge and everything else. Those are strictly a reflection of the social move. Nothing changed underneath, so the fundamentals are really not causal. They are results based on-socionomics and about what got me started on the Institute.

Saari's conjecture for the collinear -body problem
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: In 1970 Don Saari conjectured that the only solutions of the Newtonian -body problem that have constant moment of inertia are the relative equilibria. We prove this conjecture in the collinear case for any potential that involves only the mutual distances. Furthermore, in the case of homogeneous potentials, we show that the only collinear and non-zero angular momentum solutions are homographic motions with central configurations.

Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis led six UConn players in double figures, and the top-seeded Huskies routed Idaho 105-37 on Saturday in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The win follows two losses to Notre Dame this month that left the Huskies without Big East regular-season or tournament titles for the first time in 20 years. "I wanted them to understand that this was the beginning of our third season," coach Geno Auriemma said. "Let's put everything behind us. And I think we did."

In a hilarious and nostalgic trailer, Capcom revealed the newest addition to Ultra Stret Fighter IV cast, Decapre.
Decapre was first introduced in Street Fighter Alpha 3 alongside Jun and Juri as one the Dolls. Decapre's appearance is quite similar to that of Cammy. Decapre is well-equipped however, armed with a claw and a daunting ominous mask. It'll be interesting to see how Decapre holds up against the already established cast of the series.
Ultra Street Fighter IV is slated to release this summer.

Deep seated resentment can cause arthritis and other physical ailments. Jealousy, anger, rage, unforgiveness and other powerfully destructive emotions can wreck havoc on the human mind and body.
There are those with long standing resentments that have caused years of maladies in the body. When this type of resentment continues for years cancer may eventually manifest.
Holding onto grudges and unforgiveness is bitter pill that is turned inward not external to the ones who have inflicted harm. Perpetrator may not care or even know that someone hates them. Damage is inflicted on the one who hold resentment internally.
Here's a great way to describe bitterness "it's like drinking poison and expecting the OTHER person to die".
Life is too shot to hate other people. If one is full of hatred to be sure bitterness is hiding within the soul. If unforgiveness has been given years to fester bitterness has developed.
The remedy to a healthy mind and body is to let go, forgive, turn the person over to God and stop trying to be one. Letting go and forgiving is a process. Over time of consciously releasing someone in the mind will eventually end the constant obsession of evil thoughts and churning of the soul.
Healthy mind = healthy body. Live your life and let others live theirs. Everyone will give an account of life here on earth
