It seemed clear to me that the reserves were playing hard and *wanted* to win. They put it on the line.
Sure, in the end Miami fell 27-25. But at least they were trying.
I liked what I saw from Marlon Moore, Paul Soliai, Corey Proctor, Roberto Wallace, Charles Grant, Micah Johnson, and Nate Ness in particular. The only locks to make Miami's team are Moore and Soliai, but I suspect the rest will wind up on someone's team - or at least on a practice squad.
But as in the first half I expected more. While there were a couple of sustained drives, and it did come down to the wire, the offense looked erratic, and Tyler Thigpen was downright bad. Okay, he had a few good plays, but I think his negative plays overshadowed the good ones. Good thing he's the #3! Meanwhile, the defense let too much happen for the Cowboys.
Nolan Carroll didn't have much opportunity to handle returns as most of the kicks were deep into the endzone. But at least there were no big breakdowns.
So, is there cause for concern? I'd say yes. I'm not convinced this team is ready for primetime. I think they're a work in progress, which is NOT what I wanted to see this offseason. Don't give me the jibber jabber that they're still building, or they're young, or whatever.
As I stated during the offseason:
I think the Dolphins were pretty well validated based on the games and outcomes today. They beat the Jets twice, and narrowly lost to the Colts; they had the Saints on the ropes....
And that leads me to this: I'm setting an expectation for next year based on what I saw. I expect the Dolphins to HOST the AFC championship game next season.Anything less would be a huge disappointment.You hear that coach Sparano? Its time to make it happen!
Lofty goal? Yes.
But its what I expect, and lets see if this team can live up to it. It doesn't appear to me that they made what amount to the right moves to make it so, but here's to hoping I'm wrong!
Buffalo awaits, and I guess that's when we'll know something about this team for certain.

Lauren Davis
Professional tennis player, 18
/ Why she's interesting / The Gates Mills native decided to turn professional last year. Davis now lives and trains among tennis royalty at the Evert Tennis Academy in Boca Raton, Fla., where she works on her game with John and Chris Evert. She has won the Ohio Division II state championships and a host of USTA and ITS tournaments.
/ Independent woman / While most kids don't leave home until they finish high school, Davis withdrew from Gilmour Academy halfway through her sophomore year and moved south — without her parents. "I've matured a lot, and I've become more independent. But my aunt and my cousins live about 20 minutes away, so that's really helped me out."
/ Down under / Last winter, Davis scored a spot in the main draw of the Australian Open against international star, Samantha Stosur. "It was a great experience for me, being at Center Court in Australia playing Australia's No. 1 player. It was overwhelming, but it was a good experience."
/ Around the world / Davis is quite the globetrotter. "I've been to England, Italy and Paris. A few years ago I went to Bangkok for the International Children's Games and competed there."
/ Back in the USA / After a summer abroad, Davis returned to the States. "Playing in the US Open was really exciting because all the Americans are there cheering for you. I played Angelique Kerber. I had a lot of chances, but she played really well, and she ended up getting into the semis."
/ Homesick / While she misses her family and friends, the one place she misses is Legacy Village. "I used to always hang out there on weekends. At Dick's Sporting Goods, a bunch of friends and I used to ride around the store on the tricycles."
/ Book it / "I like to read. ... Actually, I have trouble finishing books, but I like starting them." She is currently reading Pressure is a Privilege by Billie Jean King. "She tells about her life and the lessons she learned."

A Jazz Success Story in Vermont
Willard Jenkins continues his series on grassroots jazz organizations in the US with a look at a remarkable success story in Burlington Vermont . Jenkins shares below his dialogue with Arnie Malina, whose efforts in jazz advocacy could serve as a role model for other local jazz organizations. T.G.
When it comes to presenting the performing arts Arnie Malina is a force of nature. He has won numerous awards, including citations from the Association of Performing Arts Presenters (APAP) and the Governor's Arts Award from the state of Montana. Arnie is a past APAP board member and current board member of the National Performance Network. Additionally Arnie was one of the distinguished arts presenters profiled in the definitive 1990 arts presenting guidebook Twenty One Voices: The Art of Presenting Performing Arts by Naomi Rhodes. (DIYers alert: get that book!)
I had the pleasure of first meeting Arnie in 1991, as co-architect of the former Lila Wallace-Readers Digest National Jazz Network (NJN) of presenting organizations, when he was part of the Network representing Helena Presents. (The NJN also included past participants in this series of jazz.com conversations John Gilbreath, Marty Ashby, and Tom Guralnick). A warm and generous man with a quick wit and a sharp eye for unusual arts programming, though a multi-discipline presenter Arnie quickly became one of the leaders of that pioneering network of jazz presenters. Since then I've viewed with great interest the excellent work he's done in Burlington, VT, where he's the artistic director and chief programming officer of the Flynn Theatre and their Discover Jazz Festival. Here's a man who knows how to build jazz audiences in unlikely places!
How's a NY guy like you wind up presenting in such unlikely jazz havens as Helena, MT and Burlington, VT.
I grew up in New York City and left when I was 21. I went to Music & Arts HS and I actually remember giving a report in an English class on jazz, and I remember getting help from a senior who lived in my neighborhood who was a jazz saxophonist. Somebody said I must know everything about jazz, and I said 'oh no, I don't know anything… [jazz] is such a complex endeavor and [I] hope to continue to learn.'
I went to City College in New York then I went to the University of Colorado in Boulder, so that was my first leap out of the city. When I got to Boulder there weren't even sidewalks where my dorm was.
Eventually I married a woman who was from Helena, MT, so that's how I got to Helena. It's really beautiful there, yet there was not a whole lot to do—especially for someone who loved going to foreign films, independent films. . . . so we opened up a film society to fill that craving and it turned into a community cultural center. And it became the most exciting thing I'd ever worked on, it was like my baby.
When did you first present jazz in Helena?
In 1976; we really started out showing films, this was even before video. Even in a place like Helena, MT there were local people who have a hunger for jazz and there were jazz artists there, so I became one of their champions. I started presenting local jazz artists, some of whom were my friends. Then we eventually established a performing arts series out of this film society; three years into it we ended up having a major performing arts series. Because we started presenting very adventurous things we were always the maverick in town. First they were worried that we were presenting porno films…
With the performing arts series I started out with four events and one of them was always jazz. I was always a multi-discipline presenter and I always presented stuff that wasn't the norm. I tried to contribute and expand the community's cultural interest. In Helena, MT at that time the only thing that was commercially viable was a Dixieland jazz festival that happened every year. It was very successful but very tame. My focus was to bring stuff that wasn't the norm. We developed an adventurous audience between the films and the jazz, and we started presenting modern dance—the first modern dance event in Helena, MT, probably the first so-called progressive jazz events.
I started out presenting people like Sonny Rollins, but I also presented really unusual things for that area, like the Art Ensemble of Chicago, the World Saxophone Quartet… before I left Montana we'd presented the World Saxophone Quartet four times.
What prompted your move to Burlington, VT?
I was asked to come here. People really wanted me to take this job so people started calling me from New England, people I had worked with from the various jazz networks. . . . I took over in '97 for the very talented Philip Bither when he went to the Walker Art Center. I was a perfect fit in a way because [Philip and I] belonged to similar networks. From my work in Montana we got to be part of the NJN and also the National Performance Network, and the Flynn was also part of those networks. The Flynn had the same kind of programming profile I had developed in Montana.
Back to Montana for a moment, talk about the extraordinary project you did with Don Pullen.
I got to know Don Pullen totally blindly when I went to the Miami New Music Festival back in 1988. I heard him perform for the first time and I remember he had bells on his ankles and really loved it. I got in touch with him and at first he thought 'who the hell is this guy'? But he was game and he came to Montana and we did a little residency in a church because we were in the process of renovating the jail into a performing arts center. So now what's called Helena Presents, or the Myrna Loy Center, is headquartered in an old jail that we renovated into a performing arts center that opened up around '91. This [Pullen residency] was before the jail but I'm thrilled to say that Don Pullen got to perform in the jail [laughs]; the project was finished before he passed on. I presented him a number of times, including his African-Brazilian Connection twice, I presented him as a soloist. . . . this was after the Don Pullen-George Adams Quartet.
I had also presented the Garth Fagan Dance Company and in those days you were able to apply for major bucks to develop new works and a 3-year residency program. In Montana I also had a lot of experiences with Native American drumming groups, and various rituals and ceremonies, so I got the idea to do a jazz-Native American project. And I also thought it could be a dance-jazz project. Garth Fagan became very excited about it and Don Pullen was thrilled to participate. We wrote a grant, it was a huge undertaking and the second time we got a three year grant. That was a very ambitious project that included a ton of residency activities, both on the Salish-Kootenai reservation north of Missoula, MT and in Helena.
Ultimately Don did a number of residencies but he became ill and there were times that he would unbelievably arrive at the Helena airport just coming from chemotherapy. It was an astonishing experience for me but it really felt like this project was keeping him alive. Don also made dear friends with the Native Americans. We'd go to different native music groups so that he could learn about their music.
Where was this work performed?
It was performed in quite a few places: in Helena, MT, on the Indian reservation in the gymnasium where a line of people a mile long waited to get into the theater. It was performed in Washington, DC under the auspices of what was then District Curators. It was performed in Seattle, WA, in Missoula, MT, and it was performed in New York City at Lincoln Center Out of Doors. And [Sacred Common Ground] was recorded by Blue Note Records and I'm a co-producer with Michael Cuscuna. I'd never [produced a record] before so I got a little taste of what that was all about. Don did record the album but he died before he was able to perform it with the project complete. So we got DD Jackson, who was a protégé of Don Pullen, one of his students; he was able to perform the work in all those places, but Don made the recording and that was a blessing.
What other projects involving jazz musicians and composers are you most proud of?
I presented the world premier of Steve Lacy's Vespers in a cathedral in Helena, MT in 1991 that was very exciting. We also had a 3-year residency with Lester Bowie '97-'99 in Burlington. That was extraordinary because we went to all these rural towns and Lester did things like perform in a supermarket; he did a residency at BF Goodrich rubber plant. . . . I also remember his former wife Fontella Bass was part of that and also the dancer-choreographer Diane McIntyre. What was fun about that was that Diane McIntyre also danced with Don Pullen. She came up to Burlington as part of the Lester Bowie residency.
Is it safe to say that since you got to Burlington your jazz presenting has escalated?
The [Discover Jazz Festival] is huge for us here and it's expanded since I got here to two weekends.
How about as far as your overall annual season at the Flynn Theatre…
We have two theatres here that we present jazz in; one is 1450 seats, which dictates a certain kind of performance, and since I've been here we've also developed a black box theater in 2000, which we call the Flynn Jazz Cabaret Space. In all the genres it has enabled us to do more experimental things because it doesn't cost as much to run… When we do something in the Flynn main stage we have to charge ourselves $3,000 rent to help pay for the space, there are union tech crews which are $3,000-5,000 per show, much larger advertising budgets—$5,000. . . . But in the Flynn [black box] space, which is only 180 seats, we can do [marketing] more through email, the rental is only $400 and we can experiment more and have smaller houses, so it's a godsend. We do that not only with jazz but also with some new music, theater, and even with some dance. For jazz it's a really great space.
What jazz did you present last season?
We presented the Chick Corea-John McLaughlin Five Peace Band on the big stage, we presented the Maria Schneider Orchestra—and I'm very proud to say that we commissioned a work by Maria that's on her latest CD "Sky Blue," so we have a credit on that. . . . We presented Omar Sosa and his Afreecanos Quartet [in the black box]. We tried to present Cecil Taylor but it didn't work out. We've been presenting a continuous stream of Dutch jazz. This season we're presenting the David Binney Quartet, Dafnis Prieto, the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Hiromi, a duet between Joshua Redman & Brad Mehldau, we're presenting the Dutch jazz Trio Kaufmann/ Gratowsky/deJood, the Imani Winds with Stefon Harris, and 4-6 things that we haven't yet scheduled in the smaller space. Hiromi, David Binney, and Dafnis Prieto are in the small space.
What kind of community audience support for your jazz presentations have you been able to garner?
We've definitely developed some University of Vermont audience; we've worked very closely with the University of Vermont jazz department, which was a fledgling department and I'm sure the director there would agree that we have helped him grow, and since then they've added [trumpeter] Ray Vega to their department. We do a number of projects with the UVM jazz department. Each year we have an event where we bring in a jazz artist that works with the jazz band there and the second half of their program is [the visiting artist] with their [own band]. Our visiting artist will come for two days to rehearse their material with the UVM band.
Has this relationship with the University assisted you with your audience development?
Yes, because that way we get some of these younger students to come, faculty members, and we get some support from the department. It's also a real bonding.
What about the general populace of Burlington?
It's not easy to fill up the auditorium it's much easier to fill up Flynn Space, the smaller auditorium. We're not any different. . . . the big names sell. . . . We sold out the Five Peace Band, which is 1,450 seats, which is a huge, huge amount in a town of 45,000 people!
So your sales are still very much driven by the (artist) attraction. . . . Do you have a significant portion of your audience which comes purely because of your reputation for excellent programming that may be willing to take a chance on people they've never heard?
We definitely have that happening, but it's not a huge number. First of all you have the jazz fanatics. . . . DJs and a small number of fans—around 50 people. Then you have people who really love what we do and get turned on and are willing to take chances. . . . I don't know what the numbers are but maybe that's another hundred people. Then you have educational connections that enlarge the audience. Our community is jazz-drenched to a certain extent. I don't know how it compares to other places; but for instance as part of the jazz festival we showcase 45 high school and jr. high school jazz bands every year. So they know that they're getting ready to do their final big concert in the context of this jazz festival.
And these school bands are all from the general area around Burlington?
No, they're from the state of Vermont. We still sponsor the IAJE day [with the still-active Vermont state unit of the former IAJE]. We contribute to that significantly by giving them the theater and all of our various spaces; so there are adjudications and all the various high school bands play. We have an education component here; we have a jazz combo course for kids that sign up—we have two sections, younger kids and high school kids—that happens throughout the year and we also have a sort of Latin-centered jazz camp every summer.
What was the genesis of the Discover Jazz Festival
It's 27 years old. I wasn't here but the genesis was a community idea that was originally put together by the city and the Flynn became a partner. Eventually the Flynn became the sole producer, in association with the city.
How has the festival grown over the years?
It's gotten much larger. It's now over two weekends. This year it was June 5-14. The most activity occurs on the weekends. During the week we have what we call the Flynn Space Adventures in Music series, and a few other things. This year we had [pianist] Luis Perdomo on a Monday night, Grace Kelly on Tuesday, we had a Dutch group on Wednesday, Trio Braam/deJood/Vatcher, on Thursday we had a woman from Burlington who has moved to Chicago named Jennifer Hartswick who's a trumpeter and a vocalist. We have the Discover Jazz Big Band which consists of players from around here which is quite good and we've had all these projects including one with vibist Cecilia Smith, the tribute to Mary Lou Williams. It was extraordinary; we had local choruses involved, the Discover Jazz Big Band, we had special guests, and a wonderful singer that Cecilia brought.
So there were special guests, local people, and the whole educational impulse of learning about someone that most people don't know much about—Mary Lou Williams—and honoring a woman with a woman conducting. . . . People were so moved by it—it wasn't easy to get an audience, we had about 800 people—and the big band loved working on the project.
When we were up there for the festival when we had the first Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest National Jazz Network meeting in '91, back when you were part of the network with Helena Presents, the Discover Jazz Festival had a lot of activities in off-site spaces.
We still have a variety of spaces, but Flynn Space has become so attractive and much more easy to use, [so] we use it more often. But we have tents—a World Music Tent, a Gospel Music Tent, we've had a Blues Tent down by the waterfront. . . . We still occasionally use a space at City Hall which seats about 300, but not as often. During the jazz festival we work with many clubs and they do [complimentary] programs; some of the clubs really support the festival in terms of money and some of the younger artists might be presented there.
Do you see a correlation between the Discover Jazz Festival audience and the audience for your year-round jazz presentations?
Certainly the ones we talked about before—the 50 fanatics. And not only do they come to both but they're active participants through dialogue, through suggestions, through playing stuff on radio. . . . Then there's the other hundred-something. . . . It's certainly true that because the jazz festival is also a party, and a summer thing, and a lot of it is free, it attracts a wider audience. We get people from around New England, New York state, Quebec, etc.
What have been some of your most successful efforts at developing audiences for jazz in Burlington, a place better known for Lake Champlain or Ben & Jerry's?
How do you develop audiences? Part of it has to do with the programming. . . . We love educational events and we do those as part of a discourse. Whether they actually develop audiences is really hard to say, but to me it's part of education, part of intellectual activity. . . and we do a lot of those. Even Q&As are such wonderful adventures, especially in Flynn Space. We have meet-the-artist sessions and they're very well attended. We also have a huge student matinee program; we have 45,000 kids coming to performances. For example this year the students are coming to see the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra and Dafnis Prieto. We are dedicated to having at least one student matinee be a jazz program. The kids come from a 50-mile radius, mostly from Vermont. We try to pull out all the stops!

Both, Margaret and her husband, were super hospitable and helpful in every way. The room is very nice and furthermore you have easy access to the City Centre as well as the airport by bus. I'd really recommend staying at theirs, I had a lovely time :)
Margaret and Gordon were extremely friendly and very helpful. The room was cozy and quiet; the bed was comfy and I slept really well. The bus was just down the street, and no trouble getting to and from the city center. My only regret is that I didn't have more time to spend in Dublin. Hopefully, I'll be back sometime in the future!
Very nice and lovely room, perfect host and very interesting talks we had together. We can recommend this nice room any time.
The room was exactly as described, it was easy to reach from the airport and the bus stop which leads to the city centre is less than 5min away. Margaret and her husband were lovely hosts and very helpful, when asked for advice.
Margaret was a lovely host! VERY welcoming and friendly. I enjoyed my stay and felt quite at home. I would recommend her to any travelers coming into the Dublin area.
Nice, spacious and clean room. The hosts were very friendly.
My wife, my 4-year-old daughter and myself really enjoyed our stay at Margaret's house and felt very welcomed. The hosts also like having a blether with you once in a while ;-)
Will definitely recommend the accommodation!
MARGARET & GORDON have been very helpful.
MARGARET & GORDON ont ete tres serviables

Margaret and her husband are really nice and friendly and they are helping you with everything. The room, bathroom and kitchen are so clean and big and if you want you can cook your own food in the kitchen. The house is a little bit far away from the city center but you have a bus stop near home. We had not problems.

Our attorneys are ready to help you with your case today
The attorneys of Miller Law, Inc. have earned reputations as skilled trial
lawyers. Our experienced litigators are willing and prepared to take a
case to trial when necessary to protect our clients' interests. Our
firm's diverse litigation practice includes:
In civil litigation, the best results are achieved by lawyers who are prepared
to take a case to trial if necessary. Defendants and their insurance companies
are far more likely to settle a case and pay top dollar if they realize
they are dealing with a firm prepared and willing to take a case to trial.
This is our reputation. At Miller Law, Inc. trial readiness begins from
the moment we accept a case. We will conduct a thorough investigation
of the facts of your case, and undertake detailed legal research to support
your position. When necessary, we enlist the services of highly regarded experts.
While most cases settle before reaching the courtroom, we only advise our
clients to accept a settlement which fully compensates them for their
injuries and damages. If we have reason to believe the best possible results
would be achieved by taking a case to trial before a judge or jury, we
are ready to take an aggressive position on your behalf as trial lawyers.
Besides a reputation for trial readiness, Miller Law, Inc. benefits its
clients based on its past experience representing the parties it now sues,
namely: the defendants and their insurance carriers. In this regard, for
over a decade, lawyers at Miller Law, Inc. represented wrongdoers (defendants)
and their insurance companies in the same types of cases it now prosecutes
on plaintiffs' behalf. This prior legal representation of defendants
and their insurance companies provides lawyers at Miller Law, Inc. with
valuable insight into how to handle, settle or try the cases it takes.
As one defense lawyer put it: "They know both sides, they can anticipate
our next move, they have that insight, they have been there before. That
is powerful."
At Miller Law, Inc. our trial lawyers are recognized for their success
in bringing toxic mold cases on behalf of individuals who are injured
or damaged by mold. Favorable outcomes include a November 2001 jury verdict
of $2.7 million for a family of 3 living in a mold-contaminated apartment.
This was the largest jury verdict in United States history in a case involving
personal injuries for toxic mold. In another matter arbitrated in late
2009, Miller Law, Inc. obtained compensation of over $5 million for condominium
owners who had unknowingly purchased mold-ridden condominiums.
Toxic mold cases can cause severe, debilitating personal injuries as well
as property damage. Miller Law, Inc. has significant experience in representing
toxic mold victims in connection with its real estate, construction defect,
landlord-tenant and insurance litigation practice. From offices near Sacramento,
we represent toxic mold victims throughout California, including in Elk
Grove, Fairfield, San Francisco, Oakland, Fresno, Yuba City, Vallejo,
Fremont, Hayward, Bakersfield, Los Angeles, and San Diego.
Contact Miller Law, Inc. today for a free, initial consultation.
Our lawyers represent clients (known as "plaintiffs") in personal
injury litigation on a contingency fee basis. In a contingency fee arrangement,
we do not charge attorneys fees unless you recover monetary compensation
by way of settlement or jury award for your accident or injury.
When you call our central California law office, we will talk with you
about your situation. If we believe we can help, we will schedule an immediate
consultation for you to speak with an attorney. Initial consultations
are free and confidential. If needed, we can travel to your location for
a face-to-face consultation.
In your free consultation with a lawyer, we may ask you to bring relevant
documents - photos, repair estimates, medical records, bills, police records
and reports, as well as any additional information you may have about
your legal situation.
If a mutual decision is made to have Miller Law, Inc. represent you, we
will write a letter of representation to those responsible for your injuries
and damages. The letter will instruct its recipients to contact us as
your lawyers to talk about the matter. This simple step can go a long
way to taking some of the weight of your case off of your shoulders. As
your attorneys, we will handle everything for you. You do not need to
worry about answering phone calls about your situation or responding to
letters from insurance companies or their lawyers.

Frequently Asked Questions page.
At Miller Law, Inc. we begin trial preparation from the moment we accept
your case. Our trial lawyers take quick action. If necessary, we contact
witnesses, visit the scene of the incident, conduct legal research and
timely file all necessary court documents.
While we prepare aggressively for trial, we also focus on settling your
case on favorable terms. In fact, the vast majority of injury and damage
cases settle out of court without the need for a trial. However, in the
event we are unable to negotiate a favorable settlement, we will not hesitate
to take the matter to trial to achieve the best possible results. In fact,
it is this trial readiness that assists us in settling the majority of
the cases we handle. Insurance companies and their lawyers do not like
to face lawyers who are prepared and willing to take a case to trial in
front of an often sympathetic jury.
At Miller Law, Inc. we know how important your case is to you. Although
we may handle many cases at the same time, we know you only have one case
of concern: your own. We take pride in our availability to our clients.
We seek to keep them informed of significant developments in their cases
and are readily available to answer their questions and provide timely
updates on the status of their cases.
The founder of Miller Law, Inc., John C. Miller, Jr., is a pioneer in cases
of toxic mold, which is an extremely dangerous substance that can cause
lifelong problems for people exposed to it. As a skilled legal practitioner,
Mr. Miller has lectured to thousands of people in the United States, including
teaching continuing legal education courses. Mr. Miller also has been
published numerous times, and his high-profile cases are regularly discussed
in the media.
Mr. Miller was admitted to practice law in California in 1989 after obtaining
his Juris Doctor (law degree) from Loyola Law School. He began his career
as an insurance defense lawyer but for the past 12 years has dedicated
his practice to prosecuting cases on behalf of injured plaintiffs. His
background working for the insurance companies and their clients has provided
him with invaluable insight regarding how to prosecute plaintiffs' cases.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Later this month, the UI Athletics Department will officially introduce its new free daily e-newsletter, "Hawk Talk Daily" -- "HTD" for short. However, we decided to re-introduce a popular column from last year's "Official Sports Report" -- OSR -- this week to celebrate the start of the 2010 college football season. If you want to make sure you are on the list to receive HTD, send an e-mail to email@example.com with "HTD" in the subject line. We'll keep you posted as the launch of HTD nears. Enjoy!
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Random thoughts for a Monday following the Big Game...that, in all candor, wasn't.
Yep. The sun was shining - brilliantly, in fact. The yellow gold poms provided by the folks from Iowa Corn added to the color and atmosphere. And the pregame banter between those in black and those in red was, as always, entertaining. But the game? Mike Hlas of the Cedar Rapids Gazette called the performance registered by the University of Iowa football team Saturday at historic Kinnick Stadium against intrastate rival Iowa State "surgical." Me? From where I was standing for the opening quarter, it looked extremely efficient and well-executed on the offensive side of the ball, and pretty much dominating on the other side of the ball.
I mean, really, just how are you supposed to complete a pass when you have Clayborn bearing down on your backside and Binns with hands seemingly high enough to touch not just the rim, but the top of a basketball backboard? Kind of - as a good friend of mine likes to say - "crazy speak." And don't even get me started on Klug and Daniel and Ballard. Even an admitted X-and-O's dummy like me can see that's one special group of defensive linemen.
I think I heard on the news this morning that citations were down from Game 1 to Game 2. I made two full swings through parking lots Saturday morning and my sense was simple: Lots of people having a good time on another delightful day for college football. In fact, the guy in charge of the weather Saturday deserves a game ball...particularly when you recall how wet all of us were two years ago at that event.
I was anxious to see Jewel Hampton in action Saturday. The talented running back from Indy didn't disappointment or his head coach the sellout crowd assembled at Kinnick minus, of course, those came to cheer the other guys. Hampton ran hard two years ago as true freshman and he ran hard Saturday. He was quick two years ago and he was quick Saturday. He also looked as advertised: Bigger.
Two is always better than one, particularly when it comes to running backs at the University of Iowa. In fact, three is better than two and four is better than three. You get my point. The Hawkeyes clearly have three - Hampton, Adam Robinson and Paki O'Meara - that the coaching staff feels confident in. Now, here's hoping the Hawkeyes have all three of them healthy when, say, the calendar flips from October to November and, of course, beyond.
Ed Podolak commented on it. So did Iowa State coach Pal Rhoads, albeit indirectly. Did you see it? You know, the "chemistry" between Ricky Stanzi and Darrell Johnson-Koulianos. Eddie after a pretty 13-yard gain in Iowa's second possession of the afternoon: "That's two seniors who worked really hard together this summer." Rhodes: "They have the ability to run it. They have the ability to pass it. They are 12 years into their program and they look like it."
I've always like the way Stanzi threw the ball, particularly on the run. But, man, he really, really, really looks comfortable/confident out there. He also is in full command of his troops...which really comes as no surprise. Even from a distances it's clear: He likes his teammates. His teammates like him.
Once again this year my pregame routine includes a tour of Kinnick's press box and visit to the playing field with a pair of "Kirk's Kids," the program Allied Insurance sponsors that give a Big Brother/Big Sister from eastern Iowa and central Iowa a chance to bring their little guy/gal to Kinnick. I've had four great young kids in the first two weeks of the season. I'm pretty sure they enjoy the journey through the press box. I know - based on how big their eyes get -- that they love the time down on the field.
If my math is correct, it's Iowa 70, Iowa State 10 in the last two meetings. You have to go back to 1985 and 1986, when Iowa put up 57 and 43 to ISU's 10, to find a more dominating pair of Hawkeye victories in a series that now stands at 39-19 in favor of the good guys all-time. Of course, those wins came during a remarkable 15-year run for the guys in black and gold thanks to Hadyen Fry and his staffs, staffs that included, by the way, a young guy named Kirk Ferentz.
You know, some across the state want the Iowa-Iowa State game to be played at the end of the season. I don't think that will ever happen for too many reasons to go into here. But, anyway, on Saturday - with the sun shining, the bands cranking it out, the cheerleaders and dance squads doin' their thing, and everyone in the grandstands working on a tan they'll be proud of Monday at work - I couldn't help but wonder why anyone would want to move it? It's right where it belongs.
The good news: Ron Rainey's Iowa soccer team ran its 2010 record to 6-1 Sunday with a 3-1 win over Davidson. The amazing news: Davidson's goal was the first allowed by the Hawkeyes in a school-record 485 minutes, 48 seconds.
If my math is correct, it's Iowa 70, Iowa State 10 in the last two meetings. You have to go back to 1985 and 1986, when Iowa put up 57 and 43 to ISU's 10, to find a more dominating pair of Hawkeye victories in a series that now stands at 39-19 in favor of the good guys all-time. Of course, those wins came during a remarkable 15-year run for the guys in black and gold thanks to Hadyen Fry and his staffs, staffs that included, by the way, a young guy named Kirk Ferentz.
As is the family custom, we sat down Sunday to watch Saturday's game. Kudos to the ABC crew. Not only did they salute our state's agricultural heritage with some exceptional videography of some nearby cornfields, but, early in the second half when coming back to the broadcast from commercial, they offered a beautifully stunning image of Old Cap and a handful of other campus locations. I can't recall any better. The broadcast also was sprinkled with a fair amount UI history and facts. It's this small stuff that separates our product so very nicely from what you see on Sundays.
So, now, Kirk's 24-hour rule calls out for full-time attention to the Arizona Wildcats. Two nationally ranked football teams dueling in the desert in six days. It's a stiff test...but more on that later in the week.
Go Hawks!

Woodstock Pond - News & Reports
VDGIF fisheries biologists sampled Woodstock Pond on October 15, 2007. Electrofishing efforts were used to observe the fishery's community structure that consists of largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, black crappie, American eel, golden shiner and grass carp.
The majority of the bass sample consisted of fish with the 11 - 14 inch range. The sample collected four very impressive bass in the 18 - 22 inch range. No bass in the 15 to 17 inch range were collected. The extent of bass harvest by anglers is not known at this time, but initial observations reveal that bass greater than 15 inches might be over harvested. The bluegill sample consisted of high numbers of young fish along with a decent number of fish in the 6 - 7 inch range. The redear sunfish density showed some signs of improvement with an increased catch rate from the previous sample. The majority of redear sunfish were in the 7 - 8 inch range. The black crappie population appears to have had some successful recruitment over the last couple years. An abundance of 3 to 5 inch crappies were collected. These fish will eventually mature over the next few years to provide some excitement for anglers. The electrofishing survey revealed the presence of 7 grass carp in the 37 - 38 inch range. Anglers should carefully release all grass carp if they happen to catch one. The grass carp were stocked into Woodstock Pond several years ago to assist in the control of excessive aquatic vegetation.
VDGIF fisheries biologists plan on conducting another electrofishing sample of Woodstock Pond during the spring of 2008.

Women only have to worry if they look pretty when focusing on style, while men must focus more on capturing and projecting their individual comfort level to the world. It is similar to the fashion for little girls--Toddler fashions focus on pretty colors, designs and complete outfits and the same approach hasn't varied with mature females. The key to both is to highlight the beauty of the woman's figure and visual canvas. Women try to make men adopt this same precept when they shop for their boyfriend or husband, i.e., what makes him look cute to me? In reality, men can't look pretty and don't have a need to feel handsome. A man is handsome, sexy or adorable through his personality and how he carries himself around others. His wardrobe choice is secondary and should complement his approach to the rest of society.
Obviously women feel a need to have to wear things that make them "feel pretty" because a woman is such a beautiful being. She has curves, long hair, breasts and a beautiful face. Those are some things that separate a woman from other woman and from other people. A man doesn't have those things and therefore doesn't need to focus on that. This presents a dilemma for men: So what are a man's style needs? Minus all the different influences (skater, surfer, hip hop, grunge, goth), a man must be comfortable with himself. He must show this in every way through every effort in what he does during the day, week, month and year. A man must let himself be on display to everyone else in the world 24/7 and be prepared for anything. His clothes and their fit and function must accentuate this fact.

On the night of Sunday March 23, 2014, Us Magazine broke the news that actor extraordinaire Ashton Kutcher is allegedly expecting his first child with fiancee and That '70s Show co-star, Mila Kunis. Us Magazine reportedly learned the news from a friend close to the couple. From the magazine:
Another source says Kutcher is "very happy" with the news of his fiancee's pregnancy, although he still remains resolutely private about his personal life. "Ashton has been very private and cut off more than he usually is," the insider tells Us. But, the Two and a Half Men star has been chatting with a longtime pal who is newly-familiar with fatherhood.
The couple have been publicly together since 2011, two years prior to the finalization of Kutcher's divorce from seasoned actress Demi Moore.
Kunis and Kutcher join the ranks of stars like Kanye and Kim and Ciara and Future, who welcome baby bumps prior to honeymoons. Recording artists Future and Ciara just celebrated their baby boy with a baby shower, and "Kimye" recently sparked controversy as they appeared on the cover of Vogue.
Is it better to plan a wedding while pregnant or after the baby comes?
Being engaged and pregnant is nothing new. Droves of adults can trace their conceptions to dates prior to their parents' nuptials. It seems there are far more engagement pregnancies than there are forced shot-gun weddings these days. So do you plan the wedding and buy a bigger gown to make room for the baby bump? Or do you put off the nuptials and pray your pre-baby body comes back?
Being pregnant may be stressful within its own right. Planning a wedding has driven many a sane person bonkers. Combining the two may be a recipe for a mega-meltdown! So how do you decide?
You have to determine what your stress levels are and whether or not you can handle both at the same time. Putting the wedding on hold until after the baby is born may be the easier route for some to take. However, if you would prefer having the marriage before the delivery, make sure to have a trusted team around you to alleviate help alleviate the stress.
Tips on planning a wedding while pregnant
- Enlist a team who you trust to handle things.
- Create an organized wedding notebook.
- Never over do it. Rome was not built in a day...take your time.
- Vet and hire an experienced wedding planner if you can afford one. (Check out these Charlotte, NC planners.)
- Do not fret or be embarrassed over showing your baby bump. (Many of your guests were probably conceived before marriage themselves.)
- Focus on your marriage and not just the wedding day. (You want your bundle to come home to a stable family.)
- Do not sweat the small stuff.
What do you think? Should expectant fiancees postpone their trips down the aisle until after the delivery? Leave your comments below or tweet @CM_Writer #PregnantAndEngaged.

Theodore's Treats by AngelaRizzaWatch

This week I spent most of my time working on a commission for Christine Tyler, based on a story she is writing. Had a lot of fun with all of this color and Christine had such great ideas, it was great trying something new. I also made two pieces for Ten Paces so look out for them early next week. You can still commission me on Etsy!
Such goats make strawberry-flavored milk.
Wonderful! The story looks interesting.
This is awesome!
This is really appealing. I love it. Wish I had goats that color. Oh, and a caravan to go around with them.
This scene is so pretty! I really like the pink goats and the garments on the man and woman! Your plants and flowers are always gorgeous in color and detail and that sweet wagon is so visually appealing! I would love to read the story!
Omg, the flowery, grass patterns behind the trees... I can't even ;___;
i always love your details, especially natural stuff like rock or plants
Really great! Nice colours

ALL CITY of San antonio department NEWS
Communications and Public Affairs: 207-7234
Published on Wednesday, July 02, 2014
The 4th of July holiday is this Friday and with it comes the responsibility of families to celebrate safely and legally. The purchase, use and/or transport of fireworks within the city limits of San Antonio is illegal and the violation is a Class C misdemeanor which can carry a fine of up to $2,000. There were an estimated 17,800 fires started across the country by fireworks in 2011 resulting in 40 injuries and about $32-million dollars in direct property damage, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Last 4th of July, the San Antonio Fire Department responded to 26 brush and grass fires and 10 trash fires that may have been the result of fireworks use.
Fire danger is not the only problem with fireworks use, there is also a high probability of serious injury. The NFPA reports that U.S. hospital emergency rooms treated an estimated 8,700 people in 2012 for fireworks related injuries.
The department will once again have a Fireworks Hotline in operation on the 4th of July. Citizens can call (210) 207-0202 between the hours of 7 pm and 11pm to report the use of fireworks within the city limits. Last year the SAFD received 357 calls to the hotline. 12 citations were issued and there were 15 confiscations.
We want to encourage citizens to attend the City of San Antonio Fourth of July Celebration at Woodlawn Lake Park or any of the other public shows around town on Friday. A full list of public shows is on the SAFD's Facebook page at facebook.com/sanantoniofiredepartment.

Hell to the yeah! The Voice season 2 is officially back on air!
MBC's "The Voice" returned to our TV screens on Dec 28, and what a great start it's been for the show.
Just as expected, the four judges from season 1, Sherine Abdel Wahab, Kazem El Saher, Saber Rebai and Assi Helani, returned to their chairs in full throttle.
Currently, it's the auditions phase of the competition, known as "Voice Only," where judges hear but don't see the person singing, and turn around for them if they were to like their voice. The person then gets to pick the judge they'd like to have as their mentor throughout the competition (as long as that judge turned around for them). This stage lasts for five episodes!
Last year, Assi's mentee, Murad Boureiky, claimed "The Voice" title. The Lebanese singer enticed a number of contestants to join his team with the fact that his contestant won season 1. In an attempt to further prove his point, Assi sported a T-shirt with "The Voice" logo printed on it. Ah ha, is that the best you can do, Assi?
In a humorous way, Assi challenged Kazem and Saber to win this year's title as well. However, he told Sherine that he won't be challenging her because he "loves her."
Challenging one another aside, the panel worked well together and each chose a voice that they felt is closest to their hearts.
The episode ended with three contestants on each of Assi and Sherine's teams, and two contestants on those of Kazem and Saber's teams.

- Dieting does not work
- A person's size does not determine his/her health
- Limited representation of different body types in the media impacts the body image of many individuals, which in turn may impact eating behaviors

text: Dec 15, 2012 18:50 Causeway trout show up, finally Causeway trout show up, finally Trout hit The CausewayPhoto provided by MEL LEONARDAfter more than three months of searching and fishing, Robbie Johnson showed that speckled trout finally have moved to The Causeway, the 24-mile long bridge spanning Lake Pontchartrain from Metairie to Mandeville. Johnson and fishing buddy Mel Leonard put a dozen solid 3- to 4-pound trout in the boat Friday along with flounder and black drum. Other trips during the past seven days have been as good or better. While the bite is slow in the early morning, the best action has come after 11 a.m. on the northern section of the bridge. This photo, taken before 9 a.m., shows that fishermen have had to battle fog in the two or three days between cold front blowing into south Louisiana.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Two days after claiming him off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels, the Pittsburgh Pirates added reliever Hisanori Takahashi to the active roster before Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Pittsburgh placed right-handed reliever Chad Qualls on the disabled list due to irritation of his left big toe.
Takahashi gives the Pirates a second left-hander in the bullpen for the stretch drive, joining Tony Watson. He had a 4.93 ERA and 41 strikeouts in 42 innings over 42 games for the Angels.
Pirates outfielder Jose Tabata and pitcher Jeff Karstens left Saturday's game due to groin/hip injuries. Both players worked out and were evaluated Sunday morning.
Tabata was not in the lineup, but will not go on the disabled list. General manager Neal Huntington said he and Karstens are considered day to day.
Acquired in a July 31 trade from the New York Yankees, Qualls has a 7.04 ERA in nine games with Pittsburgh.

I don't have a single clue how my Mac OS comes to be like this..
Whenever I'm prompted to enter my password for admin rights to make changes to the system, my Mac OS seems to have a hard time finding the correct characters to represent the Roman alphabets it wants to display. Here are some screenshots regarding what it shows:
I suppose there is some bug (it is a Mac OS X version 10.7.5) or maybe I've accidentally deleted some system files required for the encoding..
This isn't really a big problem (since everything else works well), but as time goes by I feel the need to fix it.
I would appreciate if someone can provide me a solution.

Call Center Agent Scheduling: Associated Order Processors
Associated Order Processors
Associated Order Processors (AOP) is a virtual call center, taking customer calls and monitoring website chat lines for large retail clients. The company provides coverage 24x7 throughout the year, with different clients needing more or less coverage on a given week or month due to seasonality, special promotions, product campaigns, and other factors.
The Challenge
Although AOP has offices in upstate New York and Kansas City, MO, more than 80% of the company's 185 operators work from their homes across four US time zones. Operators must be outfitted and trained remotely, without coming to a physical office location. When new client programs begin, AOP may hire up to 20 new operators a month, who must all be outfitted, trained remotely, and scheduled around the clock.
AOP had been using a shared online calendar, but it didn't do the job. "We had 135 operators all looking at one calendar, " said Trish Marquis, AOP's scheduling manager. "No one could see just their own shifts, or print their individual schedule to post on their refrigerator. We tried creating one calendar per client, but at the time, that meant 15 different calendars, which in some ways made things worse."
Shifts went unfilled because operators couldn't see what shifts were open. Supervisors spent their days calling operators and program leaders trying to figure out why someone was not "seated" for a shift on time. Plus, they had only one email listserv. "Program managers would send out notes only certain operators needed to see, but everyone received the email, " Marquis said. "This type of thing happened very often."
Shiftboard Call Center Scheduling Software
Shiftboard online scheduling system clearly met AOP's requirements.
When AOP's president asked her for requirements for a new online scheduling and communication system, she knew exactly what to list:
- A color-coded calendar, so operators could see, request, and fill shifts quickly and easily
- The ability for each operator to see and print their own calendar for a given day, week, or month
- Permission levels, so operators only see shifts based on client programs for which they are trained, while management can see an umbrella view of the entire schedule across all programs
- The ability to communicate by program, and delegate that communication to the different program leaders
"The system is very easy to use, it's something you can do with very little training," Marquis said. "We sent out one group email to reinforce the color-coding of the schedule, but other than that we've had very few questions. Operators can print their own schedules, and open shifts get filled within 1-3 days, which is a huge improvement."
It's not all business all the time, however. "Being able to upload a picture with their profile is also nice," Marquis said. "All the kids want things like their MySpace page these days."

Voters prove more predictable than markets
The U.S. election was a triumph for more impartial pollsters. They got it right, using the same sort of statistical analysis which failed to anticipate the credit crunch. Voters are often accused of being superficial and irrational, but they're much steadier than investors.
