Briery Creek Lake - News & Reports
Regulation change for 1-1-2013
Posted 11-19-2012
The largemouth bass slot limit will be adjusted from a 14-24 inch protective slot limit to a 16-24 inch protective slot limit. The creel limit will remain unchanged, 5 bass with only one over 24 inches.
Largemouth Bass
Biologists sample Briery Creek Lake each spring with an electrofishing boat to monitor the fish populations. Largemouth bass have a balanced size structure (meaning a good balance of young "recruits" and adults), and grow fairly well. It takes largemouth bass about three years to reach 12 inches and about 8.5 years to reach 20 inches. Creel surveys are also used to collect information on the condition of the fish populations at the lake.
During creel surveys, anglers are interviewed as they leave the lake and asked things like how long they fished, what they caught, and what they harvested. It is also a great opportunity for biologists to get information on angler attitudes and opinions and determine what they would like to see done with the fishery. Here are some highlights from the creel surveys:
- Fishing pressure is highest in March, April and May.
- About 70% of Briery Creek Lake anglers fish for largemouth bass and most (82%) fish there in hopes of catching a trophy fish.
- Catch rates for largemouth bass were highest in the summer but the success on trophy largemouth bass is highest in the spring.
- On average, a trophy largemouth bass is caught for every 115 hours of fishing effort in the spring. This estimate goes up slightly in the rest of the year.
- About 70% of the trophy largemouth bass caught were in the spring.
- About 29% of the trophy largemouth bass caught were harvested.
- Anglers from across Virginia fish at Briery Creek Lake. Additionally, anglers from at least 15 states come to fish Briery Creek Lake each year.
Fishing at Briery Creek Lake is economically important to the local community
Information from Virginia's Angler Recognition Program also demonstrates that Briery Creek Lake is one of the state's best largemouth bass fisheries. Since 1995, Briery Creek Lake has been at or near the top for "citation" largemouth bass each year. In fact, 24 of the 25 heaviest largemouth bass from public waterbodies have come from Briery Creek Lake since 1993. Additionally, 16 of the 25 heaviest largemouth bass since 1970 have come from Briery Creek Lake! Not bad for a lake that was built in 1986.
Although known widely as a trophy bass lake, Briery Creek Lake is also one of Southside Virginia's best lakes for bluegill, redear sunfish, and crappie. Biologists also use electrofishing and creel surveys to monitor these populations and all are characterized by moderate to high abundances and fast growth. Angler catch rates for bluegill and redear sunfish are best from late April to June while crappie are typically best in March and April.
Other Species
Chain pickerel are fairly abundant in Briery Creek Lake but most fish are less than 20 inches.
Tips for Proper Care and Handling of Trophy Bass:
Many anglers at Briery Creek Lake are fortunate enough to catch a trophy largemouth bass. Often times, anglers will keep their trophy in a livewell and travel to one of the local stores to have their fish weighed on certified scales. Still others may keep their catch in a livewell in hopes of catching a bigger fish later that day. Anglers not wishing to have their trophy mounted will release their fish at the end of their fishing day. However, this does not guarantee that the trophy will survive. Anglers may take precautionary measures to decrease the likelihood of delayed mortality of released fish.
Land the fish as soon as possible. Playing a fish to exhaustion diminishes its chance of survival. Having the proper fishing tackle is important.
Avoid excessive handling when landing a fish, removing the hook, taking pictures, measuring, etc. Always make sure that your hands are wet before handling fish.
If you plan on weighing a fish at one of the local businesses, do so immediately after catching it. The sooner you release the fish back into the lake, the better its chance of survival. Also, holding a fish in a livewell all day and then releasing it greatly diminishes its chance of survival.
To handle trophy fish, wet your hands, then use your thumb to clamp down on the bottom lip and support the fish's weight by placing the off-hand under the fish (toward the tail). Do not hold the fish just by the lower lip.
Water temperatures of 75°F and warmer are more stressful on fish. Run livewell aerators continuously and add ice, salt, and bacterial fungal retardant if necessary.
Fish should not be out of the water for more than 30 seconds.
Proper handling and care of trophy largemouth bass will increase everyone's chances of catching a trophy bass.

ObamaCare Is Secret Communism
Communism is against every thing that is American. Ever since 1945, Russians, Cubans and especially the Chinese have conspired to make America kneel before the steel cold boots of communism.
Now we see there is one more evil to add to the list: ObamaCare. ObamaCare is a secret ploy by crazed neodemocrats where they introduce socialism to America. That want to take all of our wealth and give it to a powerful central government, so they can do things like force us to pay for abortions and allow Iran to have nuclear weapons.
They want to make sure they have the power to completely remove the teaching of Christ from our schools and they have no right.
ObamaCare is a way to do all these things because 1, it will allow the government to charge us all a new communist tax. 2, those who stand in the way of ObamaCare will be cut out of getting healthcare. You will be left to die if you disagree with Obama or any of his Trotsky successors.
This is a very sick way to undermine the authority of the Constitution and the right of America to be a Christian nation. Let us continue to boycott ObamaCare and demand it gets repealed, so that Obama and his cronies may not do these things to our country.

- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked

Sokollu Mehmet Pasha Mosque
The mosque was designed as a hexagon inside of a rectangle and is topped by a dome surrounded by four smaller semi-domes. Though smaller than many Ottoman era mosques, it is exquisite nonetheless. The interior is best known for its extensive use of Iznik tiles, mostly in blue and green and forming a variety of floral designs. Nearly 100 stained glass windows create a bright and colorful prayer hall and calligraphic tiles proclaim the 99 attributes of God. The mosque also contains four fragments of the sacred Black Stone in the Kaaba at Mecca.
Though it was restored to some extent in 1930, the mosque today remains largely in its original state.

From Grand Theft Wiki
The Yankee is a large straight truck that is featured in all the GTA III era games. It is the largest straight-truck on the games, has a decent speed and has room for 2 people including the driver. It is not a very useful vehicle because it can flip on rough terrein and is only good for driving on roads. It has no special features.
- The Yankee is the only vehicle that has been proved to work with a mission in Liberty City Stories; where the player may obtain a Maverick, without using any third party trainer programs. The mission requires the use of the "perfect handling" cheat to be activated, thus giving the truck a jumping capability. Using this the player can use the truck, make it jump on the building, and steal the helicopter.

Do you want to read for free?
PRAGUE - It's Monday morning and a rack for the cultural magazine Houser in the passage of Slovansky dum is empty. A waitress behind the bar smiles to apologize: "No wonder, those kind of magazines are in favor. We are given loads of them on Thursday and by Saturday they are usually all gone." (Con't below image) >>
It is not because of God-knows-how interesting content. Even the most bored patient in a hospital would not spend more than a half an hour on those fifty pages. But Houser magazine bet (just like English/Czech Think Magazine), on absolutely easy accessibility. It is for free, that's why almost everyone reaches for it whether in clubs, cafes or restaurants.
"When we started in October, we decided to go for the name Houser. But it does not mean anything, it definitely does not give a preferential treatment to a house-dance style," claims the chief redactor of the enterprising weekly magazine, Marta Paduchova.
"To connect an exhausting program with reviews, interviews or reportage was tried already in the past in the monthly magazine Exit. It went bankrupt last summer. It cost twenty five crowns and there was not more interest in it than in free ordinary cultural program, as we do now," explains the producer of Downtown, Miroslav Silhavy.
Another similar magazine, the bi-monthly 14, has been out for five years. It costs fourteen crowns but the free competitive Houser has not taken away any of it's readers, so far. "Mainly because they are unbelievably faithful," thinks the chief redactor, Anna Vancova. "But I believe another reason for it is because Houser does not do anything completely - neither cultural program nor articles."
The reader does not have to be a specialist in mass communications to be able to agree with her. Magazine 14 offers professional graphics, complete cultural program, and interviews with interesting people, plus enlightened reviews. Thus, under the same initial conditions, does not give the ugly Houser, printed on dirty news paper with some colors, the slightest chance.
On the top of it, reviews in Houser are often unnecessarily longwinded and outdated, plus many articles seem to be hidden advertisements. "On the page for technology there is no advertisement at all," says for example the chief redactor Paduchova. Nevertheless, readers are informed that it is useful to buy an accumulate vacuum cleaner Euras for their households...
Another unnecessary luxury is also the TV program, which lacks even the smallest information about introduced showings.
But the fourteen-crown price of 14 magazine is it's disadvantage. "I can not exclude that one day our magazine will be also for free, says Vancova.
Think is mainly for tourists
English speaking tourists in clubs and pubs usually grab the bi-lingual monthly Think Magazine. It proved the possibility of survival, based only on advertisements, in the Czech media market. It has been offering articles in Czech and English for five years. "The print run has been increasing, now it's fifteen thousand issues," indicates the chief editor Michael Kyselka.
The reader of Think magazine is given a lot of interesting information about what's happening in the town in sort of a fortuitous way. But the less confidential the Think guide is, the more heterogeneous and first rate are its articles.
Its fifty pages are filled with information about smart fashions, ecological studies, political notes, interviews, trends or short stories from budding writers. In the back there are also crazy moment-pictures of people in dance clubs.
...and Karel is for Czechs
The monthly Karel magazine is publishing an impressive one hundred thousand print run. It is distributed for free by Karlovy Lazne, the biggest music club in the Czech Republic.
"We are the only Czech club which publishes it's own magazine, for all that. it is an absolute matter-of-course in Western Europe," wonders the chief editor Ludek Hrzal.
"The magazine seems to us an effective publicity of our program, better than posters glued on walls," he adds.
A very colorful mag, which points out only what's happening in the four stories of the club, came out in September for the first time. Thanks to that, more Czechs finally started to visit Karlovy Lazne. Their numbers can nowadays compete with foreigners.
Any of these magazines would sell from a news rack to probably just some reader-experimenters. But they come handy to everybody who vanity wait for their friends in a cafe or consider the possibility of hitting downtown at night.

In 1928, The Young Men's Business League (YMBL) of Austin recognized the serious community threat of youth tuberculosis and became dedicated to making a significant contribution to the solution. The YMBL members established the Austin YMBL Summer Sunshine Camps in Zilker Park to provide afflicted local youths and economically disadvantaged youth an environment in which to gain weight, grow strong once again, and enjoy the sunshine - as it was said that sunshine could assist in curing tuberculosis. Today, Austin YMBL Sunshine Camps is still serving youths living near or below the poverty line.

YORK TWP. — The Buckeye softball team allowed extra outs with its defense and cost itself outs with mistakes on the basepaths.
Not surprisingly, the sixth-seeded Bucks fell 10-2 Thursday to third-seeded Holy Name in a LaGrange Division II Sectional final.
The game was played at Buckeye (11-13) because Holy Name (16-5) could not secure its field, but the Green Wave remained the home team.
"We didn't come with it today," said Bucks coach Howie Calame, whose team defeated seventh-seeded Bay 7-2 Wednesday in its tourney opener. "I don't know if we used it all up yesterday, but we gave them extra outs and they took advantage. They're a good hitting team."
Holy Name pounded out 11 hits, with Margaret O'Gorman clubbing a two-run homer and RBI single and winning pitcher Mary Beth Blake (9-2) collecting three singles. Meghan Brickner contributed a single and double, Brianna Jesionek had a triple and Brittany Dell doubled, walked and got hit by a pitch, so the last thing the Green Wave needed was help.
But that's exactly what the Bucks provided, as they committed four errors that led to four unearned runs and made Chrissy Nichols (8-8) work extremely hard to keep her team from losing via the 10-run mercy rule.
"We played OK, but they just had some really, really good hits," Buckeye senior shortstop Julia Sekerak said. "They were a pretty good hitting team, I would say."
The Bucks compounded their problems with three baserunning gaffes, though only two resulted in outs.
Kelsie Shultz led off the top of the second with a bloop single and went to third on a double by Chessa Grzincic, who added a single later in the game to become the only Buckeye player with two hits.
Rachael Shaw hit a sacrifice fly to right to score Shultz, but Cheyenne DeDauw, who was running for Grzincic, was late moving to third and was thrown out 9-2-5.
In the third inning, Nicole Koontz reached via a one-out walk, with Sekerak then hitting a come-backer to the circle. Blake threw the ball into center field trying to force Koontz at second, but Koontz rounded the bag too far and got caught in a rundown for the second out.
"Those were pretty costly," Sekerak said of the two mental mistakes. "We were close to getting more runs."
In the fifth, the Bucks had two on and no outs when Sekerak lined to short. Flex player Brianna Matres, who came in to run for Kayla Kish, took off for third on contact, but the Bucks escaped harm when Holy Name's Abbey Yaugher threw the ball into right field on what should have been an easy double play.
"Mistakes like that shouldn't happen," Calame said. "We had experienced girls that did it. You don't expect that."
The Bucks, who host Brooklyn on Monday and conclude their season Tuesday at Black River in Patriot Athletic Conference action, committed three errors in a five-run third that put Holy Name up 8-1. Only two of the runs were earned.
It was that kind of day for Buckeye, which also stranded eight runners, with five of those coming over the fourth and fifth innings.
"We gave them outs on defense," Calame said, "and we gave them outs on offense."

Colorado Head Coach
Mike MacIntyre
General / Opening Statement
"A bit about last week's game: I thought we played really, really hard and came up short. We stumbled a little bit in the first half offensively but USC (Southern California) made some plays. That's what happened. I thought (Offensive coordinator) Brian Lindgren and the offensive staff went in at halftime and made a few adjustments. I thought the play (safety) Jered Bell made on the opening play of the second half, where he strips the ball, picks it up and scores, was a gigantic play and it helped give us some momentum. Then, we didn't tackle as well on the next drive as we did in the whole first half and they got a score there. But, the thing I saw was that I haven't seen our team one time, quit all year…… Not one …….. Not even think about it ….. I've seen us kind of play as hard as we can but, maybe not win it when we got behind. That was the first time I saw them say 'We can still win this thing' when they were behind. If we would've gotten that on-side kick it would have been a tremendous amount of fun. It was great execution. It was just one of those things where it was kind of like a greased pig. It went everywhere. It was a great kick by Will (Oliver), and it was great execution by (Special teams coach), Toby Neinas. It just went through a couple hands and they got it but, I was pleased with how they kept fighting to win not just to fight to play hard at the end.
Then, we're getting ready for Utah. To me, they're really good football team. Everybody will say 'Well, they've only won four games.' Well, they beat Stanford and they had Arizona State beat …… The best team in the south and the best team in the north. So, I think they're a very good football team. They've had some issues at quarterback with injuries to their starter and to their backup. Adam Schulz, their backup, I thought last week he had a tipped pass that was an interception for a touchdown. Then, he had another one that the kid made a great play on but, he made some really, really good plays. I was impressed with his athletic ability and what he can do. Their wide receiver (Dres Anderson), number 6, is kind of like our number 6. He can fly. He makes a lot of big plays for them. Number 91, (Tenny Palepoi) their big inside tackle, he dominates. In the Stanford game he was a force to be reckoned with. He dominated that game I thought. So, it's going to be a tough test for us going down to Utah to play. It's a big rival game and it's going to be a lot of fun for our kids."
On Whether he Views Utah as a True Rival
"Yes, last game of the year and the Pac-12 made it a rival. We're close by. I do see them as rival. When you play a thanksgiving game like that the, there's a lot of significance involved in it. Hopefully, both of us will be playing for something more next year and that even makes it more of a rival. So, I think once we kind of both get to that point …….. I think (Utah head coach) Kyle (Whittingham) has does a great job there. I played him when we were at San Jose State when they were really, really good. So, it's going to be a fun game for our kids to play in. It's the last game for both teams so, it's kind of one of those games where there are seniors in that locker room that will never play football again. So, that's an emotional time for those young men. So, it'll be fun for both sides."
On Whether he Bans His Players from Wearing the Color Red in an Attempt to Further Ignite the Rivalry with Utah
"I do despise red but, I don't know if I've gone to that far of a point yet. Maybe that's something that I need to do. I notice our kids don't wear red. I don't see them wearing red around. So, I think they understand how it goes."
On Tuesday's Practice
"I saw us preparing and I saw us in practice today, for a little bit there, kind of have the Thanksgiving lulls. We restarted a period and they cranked right back up into it and left off to where we have been before. I thought that was good for them to restart but, I did think they hit a lull there for a minute."
On Whether he Expects the Tempo at Practice to Pick Back Up From Now on
"I do. There's nobody around. Everything's going on here when we go to practice. But, I did see them concentrate but, I just didn't see the effort as much as I would like to. Part of that is that we played a really physical football game too. We had a lot more people beat up coming out of this game than we have any game we've played all year. So, that has a little bit too it but, they can't worry about being sore. They've got to push through it. So, they ended up doing that. They really did. The last half of practice was really good."
On Injury Report for Utah Game
"Right now we probably won't have Woodson Greer. He won't be back from the shoulder issues he's had for a while. Everybody else is still in a stage where we're looking at them to see. Hopefully we'll get more of those guys back to practice tomorrow. We only had a couple out. A couple of our guys were in blue shirts. They were out there but, they just didn't hit anybody. But, they'll be ready to go."
On the Importance of Ending the Season on a High Note
"I think the last game is always big. You kind of remember that game and you definitely want to win it. So, that's important to us. It's not a do or die type of thing. But, I think it does give us a lot of momentum going into recruiting and going into the offseason. Then we'll kind of push from there."
On Whether his Experiences Have Shown That an End of the Season Win Often Creates Momentum Going into the Following Season
"I don't know. We've had it work both ways. But, I think the whole thing is when the kids that come back, the work ethic that we've established, the sense of responsibility, the sense of caring for each other and the persistent attitude has to keep going. Any time you win a game it kind of validates what the coaches are saying if that makes sense. So, when you win that I think it validates it a little quicker but, I still think you can get around it, doing it if you don't win it. But, I think it validates it a little quicker."
On Techniques to Motivate Players
"I always find ways (to do that). I learned a little bit of that from (ex-NFL head coach) Bill Parcells. He was amazing at what I call 'working the room, individually.' And I would watch him do it with different guys on the field, in the weight room and different things. I think you always have to do that. You have to find a way to help a young man motivate himself. Not only athletically, but academically, socially, all the things you're trying to help him with. So, I do that. I try to find little things. I take little notes. 'I'm going to talk to so and so after practice' or this type of thing. It's not like 'bring them into your office' because then you'll, always have a wall up. That's kind of like going into the principal's office sometimes. But, if you hit them in a normal day then, you can help them. So, I do that."
On Motivating Players at the End of the Season when the Postseason is Out of Reach and it May Seem Like There Isn't as Much to Play For
"You hope they've bought into the team conception enough that they care enough about playing every time because truly, it's not a cliché it's the truth, but you never know when your last game is going to be. You really don't. Every time you get an opportunity to play, it's time to go play."
On the Importance of Having a Rival
"I think it is important to have a rival like that. I think it's fun for the fans. I think it makes it fun for the media and that type of thing. Right now, to me I think the way I see everything, of course we have the Pac-12 and everything but, we have to progress in the Pac-12 so our game really means something and I think that's when a rival happens. I don't know if that makes sense or not. I think our rival is Colorado State. That's a big deal to us here, a very big deal. When my wife walks into a grocery store and we beat Colorado State, then that's a good thing. So, I see that as our main rival and it always will be. But, we have to get better in the Pac-12 then, all of a sudden there's going to be a big game that we win and all of a sudden a rival is going to start out of it. That's just kind of the way it is. But, with both schools kind of being new, I like the idea because of where we are geographically. I think it could be a very good rival but; both of us right now kind of haven't done enough to really make it a really big national rival media deal. I think both of us need to do that."
On Potential Junior College Signings During the Offseason
"We are recruiting some. We have some coming in for a visit over the next couple weekends. So, we'll know after those weekends just how many we will sign. Well, we only have room for eight guys to come in in January. I don't think we'll get to eight but, that's all the room we have at this point because we have eight guys that are graduating in December."
On Whether There is a Difference Between Recruiting at San Jose State Versus Recruiting at Colorado
"No, there's really not any difference. When I went to (San Jose State) they were loaded up with junior college kids. I recruited high school kids and a few junior college kids and I'll do the same thing here. So, we look at …. You know, the junior college rules have changed which helps Colorado. Now you have 48 transferrable hours with a 2.5 coming out of junior college. Only two (of those hours) can be P.E. (Physical education) and in the past that wasn't the case. So, now you have a lot more classes that can transfer to a university like Colorado and you have a very good student coming in. So, it's changed a little bit on that side of it. That's opened up a pool for us to be able to look at a few more guys maybe than Colorado had been able to in the past because of the new NCAA rule."
On the Changing NCAA Academic Rules on Transfers
"It used to be that kids could have a P.E. degree that had 20 P.E. credits. Well, other schools could take that. Well, now the NCAA says that you can only have two P.E. credits that count. They have a lot more classes that are college caliber so to speak. Not saying that those P.E. credits weren't but, accepted here that is. It's very good for the kid. They're a lot closer to graduating and that's the main thing we bring them here for is to graduate from college and then win football games. So, that's what we're doing."
On Linebacker Derrick Webb's Season
"I would take me a while to talk about Derrick. I almost tear up thinking about it because he is a true, true warrior. I know that word is used a lot but, if you watch him play, he runs and hits. He gives everything he has. After practice and after games he is exhausted. He truly is the kid that you would say 'empties the bucket.' If we had a picture of a guy and it said 'who empties the bucket all day?' It would be Derrick Webb on the picture on the poster. I've been very, very pleased with Derrick. I love his accent because I'm used to it with him being from Memphis. So, I endear that quality in him. He graduates here this semester so I'm really excited about what Derrick has done and how well he has done.
He is a true warrior. We had a little bit there where we made some changes during the season and he came back and he didn't bat an eye. He played really well the last couple games. He made some big hits the other night in the Southern California game. I was really impressed. And he'll do anything you ask him to do. (He'll be in the top four of special teams points in Colorado history when he leaves here). He hasn't played as much special teams this year as he has in the past because he's started so much. Maybe that's my fault. Maybe we would've had the record but he wants to start. So, I don't allow him to play on all four teams when he starts. I just allow him to play on two."
On Philosophy on Recruiting Junior College Players
"I think that you have to pick the right guys. We had success with a few of them at San Jose State ….. Big time success …… If you just try and grab 30 guys then, yes there is a difference (in doing it the right way). But, when you select them and you get to know them and work at it and get a select few at a few positions, then I think it can be very valuable. I really try to get to know the guy. So, that's in the process of what we're doing."
On Whether he Shies Away From Junior College Players with Academic Issues
"No, because with the new rules if they get through it and they come out, then they're in good shape. It's not like it was any more where you're reaching in a situation. So, they come in with a lot of hours towards graduation and they come in with good classes so they had to have good study habits. So, therefore they're prepared. That's why they changed the rule."
On Which Young Players he Thinks Have a Chance to Turn Some Heads Next Fall
"There's a lot of them. There really are. The young man, (Phillip) Lindsay, from Denver South, his knees are completely healthy now and wow is he tough and quick. I think the fans are really going to enjoy watching him play next year. Bryce Bobo has done really well at wide receiver. He's a really tall, athletic guy that can really run. I've been pleased watching him progress. We have Markeis Reed and Derek McCartney, two young defensive ends that are 6' 4". They were 210 now I talked to Derek and he's 238. Markeis is 237. They'll be 250 by the time we start next fall and they can run and they've got four years. Those are just a few guys. There's a bunch more but, those are guys on both sides of the ball that have kind of stuck out that I've been excited about. The other guys are doing well too."
On Utah Quarterback Adam Schulz
"I don't think they've changed their offense at all really which is a credit to the kid that's there, Adam Schulz. It's kind of funny because you look at Adam Schulz and you think he could run a little better than (Travis) Wilson can when you watch them on tape but Wilson ran more. My thought is they'll run Adam in this last game because I think he's a good athlete, but they were worried about him getting hurt in the last few games so, they didn't run him as much. We'll prepare for them to run him and I think he will run more because we got hurt a little bit with the quarterback running against Arizona and they run some similar stretch read type option stuff. So, I expect him to run the ball a little bit more being the last game where they know if he got hurt, there's not another one later. I understand that they're not trying to get the kid hurt but, you understand what I'm saying. I think they kind of cut back on his running so, we're trying to prepare for that. He's got a good arm and he can make a lot of throws. He just hasn't played a whole lot but, now he's got a few games under his belt and that's always scary as the opposing coach because you've seen Sefo (Liufau) kind of get better each game. So, I think that's what I see with Adam."
On Utah's Defense
"They're aggressive. Number 91, (Tenny Palepoi) he can play. He's a really good player. They have big corners, really big corners. They press you a lot and get up and try to beat up on you. So, we've been trying to work on that about getting off the press and doing that type of thing. They do a really good job in that area. They're aggressive. They'll bring blitzes from all over the place. Sometimes when you do that a lot, sometimes it's feast or famine. Hopefully, we get a little bit more feast than famine because of what they do and how they do it. But, we need to take advantage of that and get some big plays off of it if we can. It seems like the play with a lot of energy at home too. It seems like to me on film. We have to be ready to match that and pass it."
Safety Parker Orms
On Whether he Sees Utah as a Rival
"I do because they're a close neighbor and the last two games have been pretty good games. We've both gone at it the last two years. We went down there and won and they came here and won. So, I think it's a good rivalry starting off."
On Whether the Team Mindset has Changed from When they Traveled to Utah Two Years Ago
"Yeah a little bit. This time both teams have no chance of playing in a bowl game so, it's going to be interesting. I think when we went down there two years ago they were playing to go to the Pac-12 championship so it's a little bit different. But, both teams want to leave this season with a win."
On the Emotions Surrounding his Final Game in a Colorado Uniform
"Yes, I think so. I mean last game was emotional but, we were playing to keep going to be eligible to play in a bowl game. But, now since we lost, we're not thinking about the bowl game anymore. We're just thinking about going out there and competing and winning the game. I think as seniors we want to enjoy the moment this time and just really go out there and play like it's our last."
On Whether the Intensity Around the Team Has Changed over the Last Few Weeks
"I think you have to pick it up a little bit now. Obviously, after the USC game, people's heads dropped but, I'm trying as a senior to pick it up and have them go out there, help us get a win and still focus this week."
On Changes he Might Make When Looking Back on his CU Career
"I think I wouldn't have run so hard on that first punt when I went down and tore my ACL. I was just trying to get down there as fast as I can. Maybe I would have broken down a little bit slower but, you can't live your life like that. You have to have no regrets and no excuses. That's one of coach (Mike) MacIntyre's slogans and it's all around the locker room and stuff like that. So, I have no excuses and no regrets."
On Advice to Younger Teammates as they Try to Turn the Program in the Right Direction
"I'd say, 'Don't expect it to just change.' I remember as a freshman just being down there on the sidelines just wondering, 'Why are we losing like this. What's the problem? That's not going to happen when I'm out there.' Then, it happens and then the next year you think you're going to go there. So, it's just not going to change. I felt like I knew that at the time and I felt like I tried to do everything I could to change the program but, it's a tough thing and these guys have to push it even harder than we did."
On The Program's Future
"I think we're on our way up. Just because of the talent that these coaches brought in. I think you guys are going to see some amazing players that you didn't even get a chance to see this year. Also, a lot of the younger guys are maturing and growing up. So, I think you're going to see a way better team next year."
On the Example the Seniors Have Set for the Underclassmen this Season
"I think that us seniors, we had something that lower classmen can look up to. Just see that we gave it everything we got as seniors and I think that the underclassmen can see that. They want to go there and win. They hate losing and they can see how devastating it is for us to go five years without going to a bowl game. So, I think that's in their head."
On the Team's Underclassmen and their Development
"I'm talking about all the underclassmen. I think from juniors down, they're ready to mature and go to the next level next year. I'm excited to go out and watch them play."
On What he Has Learned During his Time at CU
"I take a lot of things just as a person. Living by myself, I went through a lot of things. I didn't even really know how to change a tire until I got here and I have four flat tires right now. I have to go up there after this and go out and call AAA. My dad's not going to help me. I have to go out there and do it. So, it's stuff like that. Football wise, I enjoy the game so much more. College athletes: I respect them so much because of what they have to go through."
On Best Individual Moment of his Buff Career
"I think it was winning that Buffalo Heart Award. That really summed up, I think, my whole career here. I went through a lot of stuff and could have given up but I didn't. I had a lot of guys help me through a lot of things and I feel like just winning that award, I feel like I have something to back on and say 'I gave everything I had when I was here.'"
On his Best Hit on an Opposing Player During his Buff Career
"Legal? That was actually called legal? I guess the CSU one where I flipped the guy and he kind of did a cart wheel. That was pretty sweet. That was this year."
On his Best Illegal Hit on an Opposing Player
"I guess the first one at Utah. I was going for the pick that time though."
On the Possibility of Becoming a Coach After his Career Ends
"It is something I'm interested in. It's a lot of hard work but, if you're interested in it you'll put in that hard work. I definitely have to go ask (coach Mike MacIntyre) for it. Maybe I can get something on my résumé."
Running Back Michael Adkins II
On Whether he Grew up Hating the University of Utah
"I don't think I did too much. Obviously, since I didn't grow up in Colorado I didn't know much about the rivalry growing up in California. But, now that I'm here it's starting to come more alive."
On Whether it Actually Feels Like Colorado has a True Rival
"I believe just based off of this year, this is my first year following and actually being on the team. But, I definitely believe (Colorado State) is one of our hugest rivals just as far as people on campus and how they talk about it. I feel like that's definitely a rival for us."
On His Development as a Running Back
"I think I've been doing fairly well. Obviously, I'd like to be doing a little bit better. My goals for the season were a little bit higher up than it was right now but, I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job as it is."
On Progressing as a Team During the Offseason
"We came in here as a group of our freshmen class. We wanted to change the scene of this program so we definitely have to push harder this offseason. Well, we have to finish out the season first but, when the offseason comes we have to really work hard and we have to really push our older guys and also the younger guys coming up to strive to where we want to be next year."
On the Future of the Running Back Position at Colorado
"I see a bright future for us. (Running back) Christian (Powell) is going to be a junior next year so we'll still be young and we'll still be able to have that tandem. Then, Phillip Lindsay is coming up and we'll have another running back. So, I could see the future (going pretty well) for us."
On Running Back Phillip Lindsay
"I feel like his knee has heeled up and I think he'll to play next season and contribute."
On Lindsay's Qualities as a Running Back
"I would say probably his shiftiness. I feel like he's a very shifty back and I feel like he can really help us out in that area."
On How he (Adkins) can Improve Going into His Sophomore Season
"Obviously, (I can improve through) my catching ability. I dropped some balls this year that I didn't want to drop. So, I'll work on my hands. I'll work on quickness a little bit more and getting in and out of the hole."
On how Difficult it Might be to Get Motivated to Play This Week
"It's just another game. It was on our schedule before the season even started so we just have to play that game like we played all the other games and we need to go out and practice the way we've been practicing."
Linebacker Derrick Webb
On Relationship with Head Coach Mike MacIntyre
"I feel like the feeling is definitely mutual, and that goes for coach (MacIntyre) and (defensive coordinator Kent) Baer. I have a tremendous amount of respect to both of those coaches just because of how hard they pushed us as seniors going out of our last year and how hard they fought for us being that they could've just said, you know, 'this is our first year, we're rebuilding, we're not going to try to get the best out of our seniors because we don't really like it this year since we have a lot of younger guys.' Which we do have a good, young talent. They could've gone straight to rebuilding mode. I think it shows their character and their passion for playing and just how competitive they are as coaches as far as how hard they pushed us this year, so I got a tremendous amount of respect for both those coaches, for that right there."
On Defensive Coordinator Baer's Rough Exterior
"I think that's how he does get to us. He does have a really rough exterior, like you said, and he pushes us really hard out on the football field. He demands a lot out of his defensive players. Then, once we get into the media rooms and we're not out there in the fire, and we get to just kind of learn and look at ourselves on tape, man he is just more relaxed in the media rooms. You can kind of feel what kind of person he is. You don't always get that out on the football field. You get the, you know, fiery coach, and that's how he is and that's how coach (MacIntyre) is out on the football field. They're really intense, but you get into the media rooms and it's more of a learning environment, more laid back environment, you get the time to feel for them as coaches, as teachers."
On the Future of Colorado's Defense
"The defense, this defense, is going to be a lot better. There's nowhere for us to go but up, and that's not because we just did a bad job this year. It's because it was our first year running this system as a defense, and we did a lot of good things this year on defense, especially for our first year in this system, so two or three years down the road, I can only see the defense getting better, especially with the players coming back."
On How the Defense Adjusted to the Coaching Change
"Some things were tough more than scheme that we had to adjust to was just terminology and just know different personalities. It's a big change in personalities going from (defensive coordinator Greg) Brown to (defensive coordinator Kent) Baer."
On Replacing Old Conference Rival Nebraska with Utah and the Importance of Rivalries
"It used to be, no doubt at all. As far as right now, I would say our biggest rival would probably be Colorado State just because we are still new to the conference. Maybe later down the road, our rival will be Utah or USC. That's why I can kind of see us going as a program. They are trying to hype up the Utah games right now. We'll been playing them for the last game of our season, so that kind of sets them up as a fiery, competitive game, and the past two competitions have been that way. We've only played them twice at this point, but there have been some very competitive games. We keep going in that directions, I can see at least Utah being one of our big rivalries."
On His Message to Younger Players
"You know, I think I probably couldn't say it any better (than coach MacIntyre). The only thing I will add to it is 'don't wait to change it.' You can't expect things to change, we have to change it ourselves. Don't wait until you're a junior, don't wait until you're a senior. We had some good players come in right away and make a big contribution to our offense and defense, and that's the way all young players should think in my opinion even the ones who don't play right away. We had some great scout team players that really helped us. That needs to be the mindset. That's how teams grow, that's how players get better."
On His Best Moment
"There's been so many. I wish I had one already thinking about coming into this meeting, that I expected that question and had one ready, but just off the top of the head, there's so many moments. It is hard to narrow and come down to one. There have been some great wins, there have been some great plays that I have made, that I'm proud of."
On His Best Hit
"That's an easy one, my sophomore year against USC. It was on a kickoff on a special teams play. (I hit wide receiver) Robert Woods."
On Staying Motivated this Week Going Into Utah Matchup
"You got to have high energy at practice. That's the only way. You can talk to them and tell them certain things, but they know where the season is going. We don't have the opportunity at this point to play in a bowl game. Talking can keep their heads up, but for the most part, when they see you still enjoying practice, still going hard, still staying committed it to the end, they'll kind of catch on and say, 'let's finish this up.' We got the older guys still competing, still playing hard, still working hard for the coaches."
On the Next Step in His Football Career
"I definitely want to try and continue my football. If not, I have a communications degree. I've already graduated. I plan on jumping into the work world right ahead and seeing what opportunities are there for me. I like to go into news, I like to interview guys, get into that whole communication aspect of the job force and try my luck there. So there's a lot of exciting things for me, I just got to see where I land, and I will go from there."
On Staying Through Two Different Coaching Changes
"I think I was just too committed to the program. I loved every coach that came through here, from head coach (Dan) Hawkins who gave me my first opportunity, to head coach (Jon) Embree, to head coach MacIntyre. I got a lot of respect for all those guys, but it never truly was about the coaches for me. I came here to get an education and to play football at the highest level, and I did both of those, and I became a part of a family, a great family, here at CU. From that point on, it was about playing for each other. Ever since I put the black and gold on, it was about playing for those guys in the locker room, and it has been a long, hard four years, but I had those guys with me. I didn't go through it alone, and it made the experience that much better."

Rolling Fiscal Cliffs Ahead
They say that when something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The financial markets seem to think that the U.S. government has moved beyond the stress and woe of December's confrontation over the fiscal cliff.
The S&P 500 and the Dow Industrials have moved past the levels of 1500 and 14,000, respectively. They remain just short of the all-time highs of 1565 and 14,164 that they achieved on Oct. 9, 2007, but investor psychology is positive. Both indices seem poised to move into record territory. It's a bullish start for the year that should point to a strong year overall. But does it?...360 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

We picked up Molly and Drake March 1st and 15th respectively. Today they got their first birds!
They are both 11months old. I need to do some more work on the training, they were very hesitant about picking up the bird.
Overall we couldn't be happier with them even though they do have their moments. Just thought I would share! Hope all is well!

Unfavorable Views of Jews and Muslims on the Increase in Europe
Growing numbers of people in several major European countries say they have an unfavorable opinion of Jews, and opinions of Muslims also are more negative than they were several years ago. These findings are from a new Pew Global Attitudes Project report, based on data gathered from 24 countries from regions throughout the world, that examine worldwide religiosity and take a close look at Muslim publics' attitudes toward terrorism, Osama bin Laden, Hamas, Hezbollah and more.
Chapter 1. Views of Religious Groups
In many countries, negative attitudes toward Muslims and Jews are common, and unfavorable views toward both groups have increased in Europe in recent years. Moreover, there is a strong relationship between anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim sentiments in the West. Indeed, among the U.S. and the six European countries included in the survey, the correlation between unfavorable […]

Islamic Extremism: Common Concern for Muslim and Western Publics

While there are concerns in Western countries about Islamic identity and extremism, these do not necessarily translate into unfavorable views of people of the Muslim faith.

Monday, January 30, 2012
I started watching the red-carpet coverage of the Screen Actors Guild Awards yesterday, but nothing caught my eye, so I moved on. Too many of the same pale shades we saw at the Golden Globes for me. I did see actress Rose Byrne being interviewed, but close-up only, so I just gave her bangs the side-eye because I thought they looked costume-y. I didn't see till later that she was wearing a daring jumpsuit and that the bangs were part of a whole Michelle-Pfeiffer-in-Scarface vibe. To me, costume-y is bad. An actual costume is awesome. Rose Byrne gets my Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award for the event. I'm sure she's thrilled! Who needs a SAG Award when you can get a made-up award from me?
UPDATED TO ADD: Dlisted's post on this outfit is highlarious.
10 Responses to "My Best Dressed at the SAG Awards: Rose Byrne"
Oh yes she looked gorgeous! this jumpsuit is fantastic!
YES! I loved this look while most people disagreed 🙂
I was horrified that the female SAG attendees could look so bad with all the stylists, designers, jewelers, shoe designers, makeup artists…I felt like I was watching a bridal fashion show at one point.
But, Rose Byrne did look fantastic!
can't believe i let this award show slip by my radar
will have to troll the net to check out the fashions now
It's good to see girls having fun with fashion!
That's EXACTLY what I thought. Loved her, loved the hair.
I agree she looks like Michelle P. in "Scarface," but I also thought she looked dangerously like Anna Wintour, whose hair I've had enough of. I'm all for "stick with what works," but AW seems to just stay the same all the time.
Made up awards are it. As anyone who's been nominated for a TNMA Style Begins At Forty Award knows!
I actually like the look a lot but something just isn't right and she doesn't look like herself anymore? maybe that's the costume part?
Rose B is such a dour, little barbie doll.Not loving the hair or the jumpsuit. It's weird around the cross-over bit. She will never rise to the dizzying heights of Michelle P in Scarface. NEVER!

BOSTON, MA ( Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Our phone's apps can be time-killers or time-savers to help us get through the day. Now, there's an app that can tell if a tumor's cancerous in almost no time at all! The 200-dollar mini diagnosis device might just be medicine's next big thing.We all have our favorite apps but you'll never be able to get this one, but you might want your doctor to have it."We consider this actually to be one of the world's smallest cancer diagnostic systems," Cesar M. Castro, M.D., a physician investigator at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, told Ivanhoe.
Developed by doctor Cesar Castro and a team of researchers at Mass General Hospital, a mini nuclear magnetic resonance machine or NMR, tests tumor cells and is operated by smartphone and tablet software that interprets the information. It's designed to be easy-to-use and accurate for clinicians.
"At the push of a button, it essentially generates data without any wiggle room for subjectivity," Dr. Castro said.
If you spot a suspicious lump, Doctor Castro says you normally get a biopsy then wait three to seven days to find out if it's cancerous. With this, biopsy results only take 60 minutes!"So, you can imagine that that could translate into just, not only reducing anxiety, but also increasing the efficiency," Dr. Castro said.
The small system requires a small amount of tissue for testing, and so far, it can identify up to 12 cancer markers.
"This really kind of speaks to the power of looking at multiple cancer markers because there is no one universal cancer marker," Dr. Castro said.
In one study, it correctly diagnosed 48 out of 50 suspicious masses as cancerous or non-cancerous. In a subsequent test, it got 20 out of 20 right.
Castro says the inexpensive invention could mean lower cancer testing costs for patients. A touch screen tumor analyzing tool that could change the way you think about what your phone and tablet can do.
The components of the tumor diagnosing device only cost about two-hundred dollars. Doctor Castro would like to see it in rural and community hospitals that can't afford expensive medical equipment. The machine is still being tested, and it could be five to ten years before it's available for widespread use. MORE

Staying Motivated In Your Job Search
Don't Let Unemployment Make You Go Insane
There's no need to go into specifics about your old job; no one needs to know why you no longer work there.
Although repetitive, these are the things that have to be done when faced with the pink slip and bills to pay. But how do you keep yourself going strong, as if Anthony Robbins himself was right there next to you, cheering you on? Staying motivated in your job search could mean a faster hire for you, so we're here to tell you how to keep your chin up and your prospects high.
get used to itKnowing that, today, people change jobs every couple of years, finding a job must become second nature to us. This simple yet effective list of self-help job search pointers will help you find, land and succeed in your next dream job.
Use your network of contacts
Now that you're unemployed, it's the perfect time to break out those business cards you've been collecting and put them to use. Don't ask your contacts for a job, but let them know you're looking for new projects to undertake. There's also no need to go into specifics about your old job; no one needs to know why you no longer work there. If they ask, just tell them you and your previous employer had "creative differences."
Find a part-time job
As there might be some time between planting the seeds and sowing an actual harvest, taking on a part-time job will help get you through financially in the interim. However, don't let this side job take away from your main goal of finding full-time employment.
Do the things you enjoy
Clearing your mind is as important as filling it up with information about your job search. So leave town for the weekend, play a game of cricket or learn to play the guitar. Whatever floats your boat.
Consider the job search your full-time job
To play hard, you need to work hard — even if it's specifically to find a job. As aforementioned, you will likely be on the job hunt several times during the course of your professional life, so you might as well be productive about it, since a day spent looking for a job is one for which you won't be collecting a paycheck.
You can afford to be picky when you're staying motivated in your job search...

Even though February is the shortest month of the year, Moraine Park Technical College found many ways to honor Career and Technical Education (CTE) month, celebrated throughout the nation in February. One of the ways Moraine Park recognized CTE was through the annual Moraine Park Association of CTE (MPACTE) awards banquet, held Thursday, Feb. 21 at the Beaver Dam Country Club. The banquet recognized individuals and organizations for their dedication to and excellence in career and technical education. The following individuals were honored with awards: Stephanie Lueck of Campbellsport for Outstanding Support Professional; Kathy Vandemark of Kewaskum for Outstanding CTE Leader; Terri Wilkens of Mayville for Outstanding Instructor; Amy Patterson of Beaver Dam for New Instructor and Bonnie Baerwald of Fond du Lac for Community Involvement. The Business Awards of Merit went to Kondex Corporation for supporting Moraine Park.

The same way that modern houses aren't made out of only one material (in most places), your shelter should be made up of different materials as well. Obviously this all depends on where you are and what is available. Primarily you'll need two types of materials. (I'll assume you're in a fairly standard deciduous forest):

Improving maternity and early parenting support
Improving maternity and early parenting support is one of the four drivers of crime priority areas. An inter-agency group, made up of officials from the Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, Te Puni Kōkiri and the Ministry of Justice work on the issues.
The group is working on improving the quantity, quality and effectiveness of maternity and early parenting support services - particularly for those most at risk.
Improve maternity and early parenting support
The first three years of a child's life are critical to their development. The inter-agency group seeks to support children to get the best start in life, by ensuring that families and children most at risk of poor life outcomes - including criminal offending and victimisation - receive effective maternity and early parenting support services.
A good start in life can build resilience for the child and family, protecting a child against risk factors.
During 2010 the improving maternity and early parenting support inter-agency group focused on:
- understanding links between maternity and early parenting support services
- identifying who is using these services and who may be missing out. Māori are less likely to use maternity and Well Child services, and are over-represented amongst those who are most at risk of poor life outcomes.
The group has identified opportunities to improve links between services, for example using integrated needs assessment or better information about available providers. This provides a solid base to tailor services and improve access to get better results for families and children.
Action is underway to ensure that individuals and families don't miss out when moving between services. For example:
- Ministry of Health is improving maternity and child health services by developing nationally standardised maternity notes that can be transferred electronically, and a maternity and WellChild needs assessment and care planning tool
- Ministry of Social Development is doing more to support vulnerable teenage parents by increasing the number of intensive case workers and improving intensive home-based support services
- Ministry of Education is working to improve participation in early childhood education in the communities with the lowest participation rates
- Te Puni Kōkiri has two new initiatives to support children and whānau (Kaitoko Whānau and Oranga Whānau) and is working with other agencies to ensure greater engagement with hard to reach whānau.
Work of the inter-agency group is now focused on implementing these improvements.
Background information
What is this approach about?
This priority area is focused on expectant parents and families with infants and young children under three years of age. The objective is to ensure that families and children at risk of poor outcomes, including later criminal offending and victimisation, receive effective maternity and early parenting support services.
Why improve maternity and early parenting services?
Poor parental attachment, poor parenting practices and poor supervision are moderate contributors to offending, and research indicates that children who have been neglected or maltreated are more likely to become offenders in adolescence and adulthood. By intervening early in the life of a child, issues can be identified and tackled when they first emerge. This prevents issues from escalating and accumulating, and reduces the impact on the lives of children. Providing parents with better support can strengthen families and reduce the risks for vulnerable children, as well as lower the risk of offending.
Antenatal education, for example, can improve parent-child bonding and parenting knowledge. Family and parent support programmes can also improve maternal wellbeing and mental health, as well as reduce behavioural problems in children.
What is being done?
Government agencies are working together to improve engagement with vulnerable and 'hard-to-reach' families, making sure that services are as accessible as possible, and that staff know how to provide the most effective support for these families. Work is in progress to help families access different types of maternity, Well Child/Tamariki Ora and family support services. Ways to provide better information to parents are also being considered.

Arcanum Volume 1 Chapter 16

In the 21st century, technology can defend us from anything: terrorist attacks, mad science, even alien invasions. But how do we protect ourselves from a full-blown invasion of magic?

Did not see that coming finally we see the mysterious tolkiens
Yay, it's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.
Heh at, "You're learning…"
Crap, finished reading the issue. Back to wait mode.
Ok, it's working now.
As for actual commentary, I wonder if they have issues with running water or not.
Also I have to agree with him. Were I in his situation I'd want all the life saving undergarments too. Not a gun, partially because I don't like shooting people and partially because magic energy makes them unpredictable.
Welcome back Arcanum, you were missed.
Another great installment. Here's hoping for more.
I seriously ship these two, they mesh together in my opinion
Despairing as to whether we'll ever see more of this.
I don't mind waiting (ok, I do) but for gods sake tell us why there have not been any new episodes for over two months. Hey, I understand this business, but communication is helpful to avoid reader dissatisfaction and unmet expectations.
3 months since the last chapter released and still no update on a potential return. This thing done?
I'm about to give up on this site. Nothing new for three months? The sires was entertaining, and no word, no explanation, nothing. I'm very disappointed.
Look, I'd like you to succeed in your business plan, but putting up a site, exciting your readers about content, then suddenly seeing that the plug has been pulled? Is Mark Waid too involved in comic shop ownership? Are the creators prima donnas who work slow? Did someone die? I usually the simplest explanation. Someone ran out of money?
With no communication, all that is left is speculation. Worse, Arcanum keeps popping up with an "every Monday" tag. So I keep coming back hoping to see something, but still dead.
I, for one, am waiting patiently. A good comic is worth it.
For you kids whining about your expectations:
1) you're not paying to see this
2) it takes less than 5 seconds per week to see if new material has been posted.
3) since you are reading web comics in the first place, you're time must not be very precious anyhow
4) the artist does not owe you anything
Well, your rude suppositions notwithstanding about how I choose to waste my time, I still think that a professional like Waid or anyone else striving for professionalism could do us the simple service of telling us wtf is going on. I won't judge, I won't complain, if comics don't get done regularly, they lose their audience. The fact that I'm here commenting means that I recognize the quality here, free or otherwise.
Just tell us something.
Will, you are wrong. If the creators of this comic, and this site, want a commitment from us to keep coming back and keep their web traffic hits up, then they owe us at least a smidge of communication to let us know the status of their comic. There may not be ads on this site, but you can bet that they are monitoring page views. It's how the site is sold to other artists.
As I mentioned over on the Insufferable page, I'm disappointed in Waid. He could easily post something on his blog about why these comics are delayed. He's launching new stuff and in the past he's provided info on when a series would return (it was even done here in the last gap). Why the silence now?
This isn't an amateur site with fan comics. This is a site that is supposed to prove a new model of comic delivery works, but they aren't delivering the product.
Here it is June and nothing. So the creator is doing movie stuff? Ok, and now I'm finding that this may be the last time for me here. Kinda like looking for yr morning newspaper every morning but no one told you the paperboy quit and is in college now.
Two years is a long hiatus.

BRUNSWICK — Cuyahoga Community College plans to bring as many educational opportunities as possible to area residents with its planned $10.2 million Brunswick College Center.
"We're very excited about it," At-large Councilman Pat McNamara said, "because it's on the Brunswick High School campus and right next to the library and recreation center."
The 30,000-square-foot, three-story building will be built behind First Christian Church, 3611 Center Road. About half an acre is owned by the school board and the other 1.2 acres are owned by the church. The land is zoned low-density residential, which permits schools.
Project talks began several years ago when the city approached the college with a request to bring higher education to Brunswick, Tri-C Western Campus President Patricia Rowell said.
"They have been wonderful partners," she said of the school district. Classes have been offered to local residents for about eight years at the high school, she said.
After the college opens in January 2011, Tri-C classes no longer will be offered at the high school, she said. But Tri-C, which offers associate degrees, won't be the only school to offer classes at the new campus. It is currently talking with other colleges and universities that could potentially provide bachelor's and master's degrees at the same location, Rowell said.
Colleges that have showed interest in participating are Ashland University, Baldwin-Wallace College, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland State University, Tiffin University, Ursuline College, the University of Akron and the University of Toledo, a Tri-C statement said.
"We are working with our partners, so a degree can only be offered by one institution," Rowell said. "This helps build courses up to capacity."
But for specialized degrees, Rowell said Tri-C gives people a cost-friendly option to get some classes out of the way at the state institution, she said.
"All those stepping courses will be right there at Brunswick," Rowell said.
"The resources this brings to the city for our residents is also an economic development benefit," Ward 3 Councilman Joe Delsanter said. Businesses want to be near colleges for employees to advance their degrees and remain in the area, he said.
The college also is in talks with Medina Hospital, which is "opening new options for us," said Rowell, who aims to increase the number of clinical locations available to health care students.
Construction bids are still being accepted, she said.
Tri-C is funding the $10.2 million building cost.
The architect, Robert Maschke of Robert Maschke Architects Inc. in Cleveland, included two brick colors "to blend into the current campus architectural design," a "Green Rooftop Terrace over part of the building" and energy-efficient windows and lights, the Tri-C statement said.
Plans for the college show 21 state-of-the-art classrooms that can hold between 10 and 32 students each.
"This is only the beginning of what is going to be available in the realm of education" for area residents, Delsanter said.
Tri-C will have a groundbreaking ceremony at 8:30 a.m. Dec. 17.
