An Elaborate Outing.
Fourth of July this year was one of.
the gniclest aud warmebt ever known
In the history of the city. The elabo
rate celebration at Canton attracted
over l.SOO Akronlans. They went In
two special trains leaving the Lnion
depot as the second and third sections
of the 0:05. Companies B. and F of the
Lighth regiment and the Knight ot
I'ytliins were the marching organiza
tions which accompanied them. Ak
ron -was prominent in the procession
and contributed materially to the suc
cess of the day. The C. T. & V, rail
road, however, handled the crowd in
very poor shape. Tho return trains
did not arrive In Akron until three
o'clock and then several hundred peo
ple were left in Canton because oC
lack of passenger cars. Those who re
mained in Akron were cither driven
to the neighboring lakes or to the se
clusion of their own homes by the In
tense heat. The lakes were all crowd
ed offering n varied program of sports,
music and dancing. Fireworks were
featured at all the resorts for the eve
ning. The most elaborate plans in
Akron for a day's outing, were those
made by the Portage Golf club. In
the mornlug a sweepstake tournament
was scheduled. Mr. K. B. McCruin
was the winner. Mr. H. L. Barnes
finished second and Arthur Latham
third, lu the afternoon Messrs. 13. B.
McCrum aud Arthur Latham, Who
had qualified for the tlnals, played for
tho championship of the club. Mr.
McCruin won 0 up with 4 to play. In
the evening tho club enterlalued Its
friends with a display of tlrevvoiks.
The display was not as elabmate as

NBA Star Menu Predicts Future Health Problems
A recent article in the Detroit Free Press described how Richard Hamilton of the Detroit Pistons uses a full time chef to prepare his meals. According to the article, this chef and his team of helpers are responsible for making sure the leading scorer of the Detroit Pistons "eats right." From breakfast to the post-game meal, his meals are designed to fuel Richard and his crew.
Based on the report it looks like breakfast usually consists of grits mixed with eggs and cheese or waffles with pecans and peaches. The lunch menu includes grilled chicken salad, tuna salad or his favorite, a sweet corn soup. For dinner, Hamilton enjoys crab-stuffed steak or barbecued salmon or white chicken lasagna. Favorite desserts are lemon cake or gooey butter cake. Let's take a look at what's on the menu:
Day 1
Yellow Corn Grits with Cheese
Coffe with cream and sugar
Grilled Chicken Breast
Shredded Romain Lettuce
Italian Salad Dressing
French Bread
Chocolate Milkshake
Crab Stuffed Steak
Baked Potato with Sour Cream
Broccoli with Butter
Lemon Cake
Waffles with Peaches and Pecans
Coffee with Cream and Sugar
Chicken Corn Chowder
Italian Bread
Barbecued Salmon
White Rice
Green Beans
Chocolate Cake
Yellow Corn Grits with Cheese
Coffe with Cream and Sugar
Grilled Chicken Breast
Mixed Baby Greens
Italian Dressing
French Bread
Orange Juice
Chicken Lasagna
Italian Bread
Lemon Cake
Clearly Richard Hamilton and his chef are not nutritionists. His diet is designed to meet Richard's taste preferences, not to maximize health and performance. Let's take a look at what this fit basketball player eats, we'll do a complete dietary analysis of his meals and see if his diet comes up healthful or not.
I had my staff dietician analyze these menus with a computer software program to document the poor nutritional quality of Hamilton's diet. For any person to expect to remain in excellent health as they age, the vast majority (meaning 75- 90 percent) of calories must come from unrefined natural plant foods, not white flour, sugar, oil and animal products. Because Richard's diet is profoundly deficient in vegetables, beans, fresh fruits and raw nuts and seeds (high nutrient plant foods), we can use his diet as an example of a disease-promoting diet-style.
The highlights of our computerized analysis are highlighted below:
Sodium: 6550 mg (recommended level--below 1500)
This high sodium diet guarantees Richard will develop high blood pressure in later life and be at high risk of both a heart attack and a stroke.
Fiber: 26 grams
This low level of fiber assures us Richard will develop colonic diverticulum and remain at higher risk of colon cancer.
Cholesterol 1082 mg, Saturated Fat 52 grams
This high intake of saturated fat and cholesterol guarantees Richard will develop a high cholesterol in later life and will clearly be at high risk of heart disease and cancer, like the rest of Americans.
Vitamin C 165 mg, Vitamin D 96 IU, Vitamin E 13 mg, Molybdenum 34 ug, Beta Carotene 5108
These low levels of antioxidant vitamins and minerals assure us that Richard will age prematurely and cut short his years of athletic prowess.
If you have been living in a cave for the last five years and haven't heard, a diet is considered healthy only if it gets the majority of its calories from natural plant foods, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, beans, avocado, raw nuts, seeds and other nutrient-rich foods. When one bases their diet from a combination of animal products and processed foods a deficiency of plant-derived phytochemicals leads you down the road to cancer later in life.
Even though Richard Hamilton is only 29 years old, slim and wiry, and in great cardiovascular condition does not mean that his body will hold up to this level of activity as he ages. His diet may supply him with adequate macronutrients (fat, carbohydrate and protein) to sustain a high level of physical activity, but because the micronutrient levels are so low, he places himself at risk for a shortened career with injury and premature aging of his joints and connective tissues. As a result of this diet I would not risk a long term contract on Richard. His diet will likely prevent him from continuing this high level of athleticism that he displays past the age of 36. When we consider the productivity of players past the age of 36, we must look at their diet. Shaq is 34 years old and clearly his days are limited. It is rare that a person can compete at a professional level effectively past the age of 35.
There are exceptions to the rule, and dietary excellence is the way that young athletes can prolong their athletic careers. Look at Martina Navratilova, the tennis player who has been competing at a high competitive level for decades. She can do this because her diet is scientifically designed to be rich in antioxidants and phytocheimicals.
When I design diets for professional athletes we talk about what they want to achieve. Increase stamina? Strength? Reduce chance of catching infections? Achieve athletic longevity in their sport? Or just maintain their health as they age? You would be amazed that athletes are pretty smart in what they expect nutritional intervention to do.
For example, Dr. Dean Nicolas is a friend or mine who consults with me about nutrition. He coaches world and Olympic ski racers and is cognizant that a racer who is frequently ill or suffers from a prolonged viral infection during the winter can lose his high ranking in the world merely from a bad showing in a few races due to a poorly timed illness. When one of his racers gets ill and has a subsequent poor performance in an event, the ranking loss could cost him as much as $500,000 that year. Not a trivial infection. For example, Eric Schlopy who has skied in three Olympic Games has the good sense to design his diet with intelligence and precision to maximize his performance, disease resistance, and prolong the years of his athletic fitness.
We know that Dwyane Wade had a viral infection that almost cost the Heat their place in the finals and may have had something to do with his mediocre performance in the first two games against the Mavericks. Maybe these young athletes will wake up and realize that nutritional excellence can dramatically increase their resistance to infection, especially when they are on the road so much, exposed to so many people and under stress. It could make the difference between a victory or a loss in the NBA finals and it can prolong their playing years, not to mention their life. Pass all that cake, bread, pasta and cream to the other team Richard, it might get you a few more years of good play and be worth millions to you.

The New York State Health Department is looking into a report accusing orthpedic surgeon Michael Clarke, 47, of indecent behavior in the operating room at St. Joseph's Hospital in Syracuse. In addition, the Onondoga County District Attorney's Office has initiated a grand jury investigation against him.
According to 11 out of 13 employees interviewed at the Center, Clarke "sometimes slapped patients," while 8 stated that he "used sexually explicit language during operating room cases," while 3 staffers claimed that Clarke "called anesthetized patients names, such as 'fat ___ ,' while slapping them hard."
While the testimonies are disturbing in themselves, what is even more troubling is the fact that the hospital did nothing about Clarke's actions despite being aware of complaints against him for over a year. As a result, St. Joseph's stands to lose any payments for its Medicare and Medicaid programs, despite its assurance that disciplinary action has now been taken.

I just got round to watching Holy Flying Circus, which I recorded on Wednesday night. I expected to enjoy it, but didn't expect to find myself laughing aloud quite so much. It really was a joy to watch. (Still available on iPlayer until next Saturday) The casting was superb, which made everything else work. Darren […]

David Cameron's latest big idea is truly inspiring. Well I'm inspired anyway. He has been persuaded by some religious charity that ISPs should make subscribers opt-in to being able to view sexually explicit websites.

Religious hyperbole
June 26th, 2011 · Comments Off · Life
The Brighton Argus had a story the other day about a school, or rather the chair of governors of a school, complaining about religious education not being a core subject – using words like 'shock', 'horror' and 'outrage'. This being the Argus, he gets a right shoeing in the comments. This is my favourite: Christianity! […]

For an atheist I seem to have been to quite a few places of worship in my time. There are the normal family weddings in anglican churches, the christening of a catholic friend' s child and so on, but also a sikh friend at work always encourages us to visit his temple for major events. […]
Petty gossip?
March 28th, 2010 · Comments Off · Life
I am no theologian, but I doubt that Catholic doctrine says that if you are in a hole you should keep digging. The Pope's latest contribution to the ongoing scandals in his church is to dismiss criticism as 'petty gossip'. There is nothing petty about people in positions of trust abusing children and for their […]

"Who is Superwoman?" - Part 4: "Mistakes"
Writer: Sterling Gates
Penciller: Jamal Igle
Inker: Jon Sibal
Reviewed by: Jeffrey Bridges
He uses Gold Kryptonite to remove her powers and she falls, but remembering training from Batman uses her cape to glide to a crash landing.
At a party sponsored by the Daily Planet, Lana worries about Kara.
Reactron arrives and says his old powers (mentioned in issue 25) were lies and Kara hits him with some rebar. She then rips the gold K out of his chest, and he dives over a rooftop after it and disappears. Kara's powers return and she notices something on the cape from the decoy she attacked that she'd missed before, and now knows who Superwoman is.
Meanwhile, Lana gets another nosebleed and passes out, and Superwoman attacks Inspector Henderson. Kara arrives and accuses Superwoman of lying and helping to kill Zor-El and then unmasks her, revealing Lucy Lane.
Story - 3: I'm guessing the reveal of Lucy Lane was supposed to be more of a shock than it was.
To the credit of the writing team I didn't see it coming, but I wasn't terribly shocked or surprised, either. It wasn't a huge, exciting moment the way they've been playing it up as. I never really cared who Superwoman really was, and I don't really care that it's Lucy Lane. I'm hoping something in the future explains that, and I also hope this actually moves into territory of explaining the ramifications of that on Lois, Clark and Kara.
I believe I've mentioned this before, but I'm also still very disappointed at the complete lack of Kal (and to a lesser degree, Lois) in this book. They are Kara's family and in this issue especially it felt like Kal's presence was really missing. Kara is having these really rough times and she has no one to talk to, and I feel like Kal is being... well, I'm not sure what he's being, but how can he not be there for her? At least to talk to? As a friend, as a big brother figure... it's not right that he's just leaving Kara to go through all of this alone, it makes him look bad because that's something he'd never do.
I know he can't be running over every time Kara has a problem, and please don't think that's what I'm suggesting here. But we've still hardly seen the two of them together at all in four years now, and that's gotten REALLY old. This storyline is huge for Kara, in terms of important life events, and if ever he should have been around just to offer her someone to talk to who understands what she's going through, this story is it.
And so the lack of Kal really made this issue feel like it was lacking overall, and I still feel like the overall story we've been getting here is about Superwoman, and it's bits and pieces of plot pushing the story forward. And that story is fine, but it's not KARA'S story and it's been really light on delving into her character and who she is as a person.
This book needs a break from crossovers and tie-ins and ABSOLUTELY needs a break from all the guest stars. Take four issues and reset a base to start from for Kara. Give her a life, a personality and a supporting cast and then forge ahead from there.
I feel bad scoring this a three because it's lightyears ahead of where this book used to be, but this issue shows there's still quite a ways to go to get Kara to where she needs to be.
Art - 4: There were a few rough spots, but for the most part I absolutely loved it. The splash page of Reactron attacking Kara was exceptionally fantastic. On the whole, very good.
Cover Art - 2: Kara looks like she's nine years old here, and... wow, that's... uh... a really big shot of Superwoman's ass.

Accused murderer Bass Webb will be able to keep his defense attorney.
Webb submitted a motion in Harrison Circuit Court last week questioning whether a conflict of interest existed between his attorney Tim Griffiths and the fact that Webb had previously been represented on another case by Griffiths' wife.
Judge Jay Delaney ruled that no conflict exists and the attorneys of record may continue to defend Webb in his upcoming murder trial.
The date for the 41st Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet has been set for Feb. 25.
The banquet will be held at the Cynthiana Country Club starting with a social hour at 6 p.m. Following the social hour will be the awards banquet at 7 p.m.
Winners and their families from each category will be present to accept awards. Categories include;
• Business of the year
• Citizen of the year
• Educator of the year
• Farmer of the year
• Volunteer of the year
• Health care worker of the year.
Vigilance was the main ingredient in the capture of a Harrison County man who was allegedly trying to steal four batteries from the farm of Jess Burrier last Thursday.
A call was made around 10:15 a.m., Jan. 13, for an alleged theft that was taking place on a farm located on Russell Cave Road.
An unknown suspect was caught by Doug Thomas, a farm-hand for Burrier, allegedly trying to take four batteries from the property.
Harrison archers had a chance to show their mettle against some of the best archers in the world this past weekend on the Hilltop. Anderson County Middle School, the two-time defending world champions, along with 2010 state title champs, Bondurant Middle School, joined Harrison County and several other top teams to compete at the 3rd Annual HC Invitational.
"I wasn't so surprised that we won, but the way we won was numbing," said the exuberant first-year Fillies' coach, Piper Akin. "We dominated this game from start to finish. I am almost speechless."
That was the reaction to the 70-30 win the Fillies had just posted over a veteran Deming team who was one of the early favorites in the district.
The Fillies jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead on the strength of two baskets by freshman Jordan Doram.
Being in the hole by four decisions before the match begins, makes winning very difficult.
This is what the Harrison County wrestling team faced Saturday as they battled in the Five Star Classic at Lafayette.
Wrestlers with a wrenched neck, skin problems and one who was just released from the hospital were three who would have been in the starting line up for Coach Russ Riegel as they met some of the elite of the state in this 16-team event.
The Harrison County Fillies battled Montgomery County hard on the Hilltop on Thursday, but were unable to score with the Lady Indians and fell 67-50.
The Indians' fast-paced offense made it difficult for the Fillies to defend them, which allowed for some easy baskets.
Point guard Kelsey Cummins was hampered by illness and some early foul trouble which led to some ball handling issues for the Fillies.
The NFL playoffs are now down to the last four teams and there are some big surprises.
No doubt the biggest surprise is the Jets beating the Patriots, especially since Bill Belichick is a genius according to the east coast sportswriters and major television announcers.
The Patriots were really never in this game after the first Jet score as their offense sputtered all over the field much to the dismay of the home crowd.
This week's profile is of the four cheerleader assistants.
Head Coach DeDe Shirley commented that cheerleading, unlike many other sports, requires the ultimate in timing and teamwork, which is also how the assistants' roles work.
While one may be stronger in the gymnastic aspects, another may be stronger in dance, another in routines and yet another in strength and conditioning.
So it takes a coordinated effort to work with the number of girls involved and to get the utmost effort and results.
Greg Shirley is probably a little biased when it comes to cheerleading since his wife, DeDe, is the head coach at Harrison County High School.
But Greg described the routine that the Harrison County High School cheerleaders did on Saturday as the most exciting two and one half minutes of sports, compared to the first Saturday in May's most exciting two minutes in sports.
That is how well the performance went on Saturday for the Harrison County squad.

College Hockey:Tigers End Mason Era At Michigan State
CC's Sanger Shuts Out Spartans To Advance
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — It wasn't the way Ron Mason wanted to go out.
When Colorado College upset Michigan State 2-0 in the first NCAA West Regional game, the Tigers did more than end the Spartans' season — they dictated MSU head coach Ron Mason's final game.
"Like I always am [after a loss], I felt sick inside," said Mason. "I really felt that we deserved at least one goal. We could have had a goal, at least. If it would have come when the game was one-nothing, it would have given us a lot of jump.
"Fortunately for me, I've been to the top of the mountain and haven't been down very often."
Between Mason and Colorado College head coach Scott Owens, Mason certainly has a higher profile, but it was Owens and his Tigers who eclipsed the winningest coach in college hockey and the Spartans, right from the initial drop of the puck.
Trent Clark netted the game-winner at 10:05 of the first and Alex Kim cemented the win early in the third in front of Jeff Sanger's 25 saves, advancing the Tigers (27-12-3) to Saturday's quarterfinal against No. 2 seed Minnesota at 4 p.m.
The Tigers outshot and outskated the Spartans in the opening period, posting 15 shots on goal to MSU's five. Clark's goal came after a successful MSU penalty kill, during which Michigan State netminder Ryan Miller denied both Clark and Kim from point-blank range.
When Brad Hutchinson sent the puck along the boards behind the MSU cage in an attempt to clear, Richard Petiot intercepted near the left circle, opposite Hutchinson. Petiot fired toward the net, and Clark redirected it. Grappling with a Spartan defender, Clark had his back to the net and his blade pointed toward center ice.
"The puck went out to Richard Petiot at the point, and I saw that he was about to shoot, and I knew that if we didn't get any traffic in front of Miller he usually makes the save," said Clark. "I tried to position myself between Petiot and Miller, and I saw that the puck was going a little wide … so I stuck my stick out with my backhand [and] kind of directed it toward the net. I got lucky and it went in."
The puck went in off the heel of Clark's blade, between Miller and the right post.
That first goal, said Owens, was the "real key" to the Tigers' win.
"I was real happy with the way we came out in the first period," said Owens. I thought we set the tone the way we wanted to play. We had several good scoring opportunities. Even though it was only one-nothing [after the first period], I thought that was very, very important to us. When you play a team like Michigan State, it's important to get up on them and not let them get the lead."
The Spartans came back with some drive in the second period, but in addition to having to battle the speedy Tigers, MSU also wrestled with the bounces. Early in the second, John-Michael Liles hit the post when Michigan State had a four-on-three advantage. The puck lay motionless in the crease, Sanger unable to reach it, until a CC defender cleared it out of harm's way.
Just after the power play, Mike Lalonde hit the underside of the crossbar from just outside the crease. Again, the puck popped out of the immediate play.
"As with all year, we've had some problems scoring goals," said Mason. "We didn't get any breaks tonight, either, around the net."
"We don't take a single thing away from Colorado College," said MSU captain Adam Hall. "I think they played a great hockey game tonight. I think we had our chances. We hit a post and a crossbar. I don't think their goalie did a great job with rebound control, but it seemed like the rebounds were coming out where we weren't."
At 5:43 in the third, Kim capped the game for CC when he picked up his own rebound and made a nifty move to tuck the puck in behind Miller.
"When Alex scored the second goal, we started to relax a little bit," Owens said.
The shutout was Sanger's seventh of the season, and 16th of his career. It was the first time Michigan State had been shut out by an opponent since Jan. 12, the second time this season, and the first time ever that the Spartans had been shut out in the first round of the NCAA playoffs.
"Whenever you play against a good goalie, there's that pressure," said Sanger of playing against last year's Hobey Baker Memorial Award winner. "You know it's going to be a close game. He played outstanding. He kept them in the game."
The 2001-02 Michigan State squad posted a final season record of 27-9-5, but Mason said his work as head coach isn't quite done.
"The last event for a coach each year — at least for me — is our hockey banquet. That's probably the last thing I'll do."

Lana Gomez
I believe everyone possesses a creative flow that allows them to communicate in their own unique way; painting is how I express this notion. When I paint, I allow spontaneity to drive my creative process. My work reflects the lens through which I see the world – whether in color, shape or form. Each of my paintings pays homage to a remarkable nostalgic moment in my own life. It is my intention that when others experience my work, they will reflect on these types of moments in their lives while connecting to and feeling inspired by my own. -Lana Gomez
Lana Gomez's work has a sense of freedom and heart that reflects the boundless, yet kind rebel that she is. After studying art at the University of Tennessee, Gomez moved to Los Angeles, where she continued to experiment with acrylics and an evolving mixtures of materials. Ultimately, Gomez's work caught the eye of famed interior designer, Kelly Wearstler, which led to several fruitful collaborations. Gomez was the resident painter at Wearstler's design studio from 2008-2009. Wearstler then commissioned Gomez do a mural-sized piece and featured it in her book, Hue. Gomez continues to push the boundaries in her work and recently completed a 10-foot guitar sculpture for Gibson GuitarTown on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood. Gomez displayed her work in her own showroom in West Hollywood from 2011-2012, and today her pieces are featured everywhere from the legendary Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills to outdoor venues, office buildings, and private residences. Her work has also been featured in trend-setting publications such as House Beautiful, InStyle, Lonny, Los Angeles Confidential and The New Yorker.

The creative director of Italian luxury label Fendi will oversee an exhibition of his photographs featuring some of Rome's most beautiful fountains.
Lagerfeld was in Rome earlier this year for the announcement that Fendi would be restoring the city's historic Trevi fountains. "I'm very happy because I think it's a very good idea," said the German-born fashion legend back in February. "I think the fashion world is lucky because a few labels like Fendi and others do well enough that they can pay for this kind of restoration," he added.
Lagerfeld has obviously found real inspiration in the project as the latest news from Fendi is that the brand has worked with the photographer and designer to document the fountains for an exciting new project.
Fendi will stage an elaborate and free public exhibition of Lagerfeld's photos in Paris during the city's haute couture presentations this summer. Titled "The Glory of Water," the photos will be housed in a series of dark domes erected on the banks of the Seine open from July 4 to 14, which will also coincide with the opening of Fendi's new Avenue Montaigne flagship store.
Fine art and photography publisher Steidl will also produce a cloth-bound 120-page volume collecting together the photos. One of the fashion world's biggest names, Lagerfeld has also shot and curated a series of "Little Black Jacket" exhibitions in his other role as Creative Director at the Parisian haute couture house Chanel and is well known for his passion for photography.

We'd found one and had just flown through the storm's wall and circled inside its monstrous eye. How many people get to do that? I was struck by that same feeling when I crossed into communist-occupied East Germany while working on an environmental story. I've had it in the Gulf several times, including once while accompanying the Coast Guard on a drug operation and once when helping crew a sailboat from Florida to Louisiana. I felt my good fortune when drifting over Baton Rouge at dawn in a hot air balloon, and again when looking out of a helicopter and seeing a bald eagle soaring nearby. I've felt it in bird rookeries and on barrier islands, in swamps and atop lighthouses. Being a reporter has allowed me a range of experiences most people never have. Many of them have been beautiful. Others haven't — countless floods, tornadoes, hurricanes. Worse have been horrors caused by people, particularly to children and teenagers. The wail of loved ones has haunted many such scenes. Maybe even worse has been the shocked eyes of those not yet able to accept a loss that will change their lives. Those stories were made bearable by ones of heroism, sacrifice and kindness. And then there were funny stories, like the beavers who found cash taken in a casino robbery and used it like leaves to fill holes in their dam. And there were fun stories, like covering my Pittsburgh Pirates in a spring training game. Never awed by movie stars, governors or senators, I felt nervous interviewing my baseball heroes. What makes the difficult sights and deadline pressures of being a journalist most worthwhile are those stories in which reporters feel they have made a difference. Early in my career I felt that when doing investigative pieces on public corruption. Later, that feeling often came during years of writing about air pollution, shoddy disposal of hazardous waste, pesticide misuse, discharges that fouled waterways and shell dredging that made Lakes Pontchartrain and Maurepas look like chocolate malts. Change came slowly, but it came. In recent years, the part of my job that has brought me the most pleasure has been writing this column. Much of the satisfaction has come from the weekly emails, letters, calls and personal comments that let me know I'd touched an emotion, conjured a happy memory or just made a reader chuckle. As this last column comes to a close, I want to thank you, readers, for making a wonderful career possible. Bob Anderson welcomes comments by email to email@example.com.

BOULDER – If all goes as Eric Kiesau hopes (and Monday morning his hopes were extremely high), Andre Simmons will arrive on campus Thursday morning and be ready to participate in the Buffaloes' first practice the following day.
Should it happen just like that, with no further complications, credit both Kiesau and Simmons for perseverance not normally required to put a prospect on the football field.
But Colorado is not counting on Simmons being just any prospect, and Simmons sounds determined to be a cut above, like a guy prepared to deliver something special.
"I'll be there Thursday," Simmons said Monday afternoon. "I'm going to make it."
"I think he is," Kiesau said. "I just know I'd feel terrible for him if he didn't; he's put in so many hours trying to do this."
In instances such as these, it's always prudent to let someone else (read: admissions office) make the definitive call. Buffs fans, and undoubtedly a few coaches, will collectively breathe easier when/if game-week arrives and Simmons has worked his way into Kiesau's game plan.
But know this: Simmons' hopes of playing here match – probably exceed – Kiesau's. Understanding what the talented junior college receiver has undertaken since January to qualify for admission to CU, that's perfectly understandable.
Kiesau recruited Simmons out of Independence (Kan.) Community College and has kept in daily contact with him this summer while Simmons finished course work that would allow him to enroll at CU.
To be admitted, Simmons, a 6-foot-3, 210-pounder from Blackville, S.C., has had to complete nine junior college courses between January and this week's opening of preseason drills.
Even after a sudden and unexpected post-spring promotion that saw him move from passing game coordinator/receivers coach to offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach, Kiesau had enough time and energy invested in Simmons to stay the course in pushing him to complete the required course work.
Frequently over the past several months, Kiesau was Simmons' wake-up call and turn-down service – the first person Simmons spoke with in the morning, the last person to talk with Simmons that night.
"I'd call him up some mornings before 8, then call him after 10 (p.m.) to check in with him," Kiesau said.
Said Simmons: "Coach Kiesau has had faith in me, faith that I would get it done. He kept telling me about coming up there, playing in front of 60,000 people, playing in the Big 12, playing on television . . . he kept me motivated."
More than that, Kiesau also kept Simmons on track, rousing him many mornings to make sure he was logged in for on-line course work, then following up in the evenings "just to ask me how it went,'' Simmons said.
"He's been 100 percent behind me, but I always knew it was up to me and I had to get it done. The people who doubted me, those people don't know me."
Kiesau was, maybe still is, fearful of Simmons not being physically ready to begin competing when camp opens, first because of the class work required for Simmons' enrollment and second because of a spring appendectomy that could have been a setback.
For those reasons, Kiesau theorized that Simmons will need the bulk of August camp to "get back in playing shape and learn the offense. I think all he's done this summer is his school work.
``It's just been a ton of work for him – there's no other way to say it."
Simmons, though, claimed the bout with appendicitis ``made me stronger'' because he knew he had to ramp up his conditioning work and that he was able to squeeze in time for conditioning over the past several months.
The real question, though, is how his training measures up to that done by incoming players who have spent most of the summer on campus working under the grueling regimen set by strength coach Jeff Pitman.
Players say there's no substitute for the real `Pit' thing, but Simmons insists he will show up ``in shape'' and eager to trim his most recent 40-yard dash timing of 4.46 seconds to the 4.39 he claims as his best.
He also said he has been catching about 50 footballs a day launched by a passing machine – an endeavor that should have helped him maintain his hand-eye coordination, but couldn't have approximated running routes and catching passes thrown by one of his future quarterbacks.
But those details, minor compared to those of the past seven months, will be worked out once Simmons finally is present and participating – hopefully on Friday.
All players are scheduled to report by Thursday at noon. The afternoon's itinerary calls for physical examinations and individual photos to be taken and equipment to be issued, followed by dinner and meetings.
The Buffs' first practice (full team) is scheduled from 5:30 p.m.-7:45 p.m. Friday.

A nun birth occurred in Rieti, Italy, which was a shock to her and her fellow-nuns at the convent, according to the BBC on Friday. The nun, a 31-year-old Salvadoran, gave birth after experiencing abdominal pains which she thought were simply stomach cramps. After the nun was taken to a hospital, she gave birth to a baby boy – and named him Francis - named after Pope Francis.
Pregnant Nun identified: Roxana Rodriguez (Photo of Nun Rodriguez)
When the nun was told by doctors that she was having contractions and giving birth, she reportedly told the doctors, "It's not possible - I'm a nun." .
The location of the nun birth - Rieti - is a small city located in the central part of Italy which has a population of some 47,700 people. The nun belongs to a convent - the Little Disciples of Jesus - which is located near the city. The convent manages an old folks' home. As the news of a nun having a baby goes viral, the mayor of the city, Simone Petrangeli, has asked persons and the media to give the women privacy.
The incident reportedly happened two days ago when the woman summoned an ambulance. Several hours later she had a new baby boy. Clothes and donations have been collected for the nun and the baby by persons at the hospital where she gave birth.
Don Fabrizio Borrelio, a local pastor, said that he guesses the nun is telling the truth when she says she arrived at the hospital unaware of the pregnancy. He also said that she plans to take care of the baby herself.
The fellow-nuns at the convent said that they noticed that she had been gaining weight, but never imagined she was with child. The convent's mother superior, Sister Erminia, said, "It seems she was not able to resist temptation."
The Catholic Church is reportedly quite embarrassed by the nun's pregnancy and child birth. Delio Lucarelli, the Bishop of Rieti, said, "It would be preferable that she now lead a secular life with her baby, away from religious institutions." In other words, she's being kicked out of the convent. Yet, the local diocese is offering the nun and her baby is offering assistance until the woman decides on her future.
The local diocese has offered the nun assistance until she decides on the future her baby and she will have. The mayor of Reiti has also offered to pitch in and help her and the baby.
Interest in the nun birth have gone global. Jokes, naturally, about the nun birth have begun as well. There have been references to an immaculate conception, Mary and Joseph.

Halo 4 gets the Conan O'Brien treatment
The latest episode in Conan O'Brien's popular Clueless Gamer series has the late night host tackling Halo 4. The shooter made an early media appearance on O'Brien's show, so things have kind of come full circle with 343 Industries' effort finally getting its turn.
O'Brien's done quite a few of these gaming segments now; a small selection can be found right on this very website – Hitman: Absolution, Resident Evil 6, and Just Dance 4. For some of O'Brien's audience, these regular comedy segments may be the only time they see games in mainstream media outside of "games make people violent" reports.
Thanks, GameInformer.

Back to Law Rankings
Prestige isn't everything. These are the firms associates find the most amenable to a satisfying work experience.
Which law firms are the best to work for? For some, this is a
far more important consideration than prestige. To determine our
Best 25 Firms to Work For, we used a formula that weighed the most
relevant categories for an overall quality of life ranking. Each
firm's overall score was calculated using the following
* 25 percent satisfaction * 10 percent hours * 10 percent
compensation * 5 percent associate/partner relations * 5
transparency * 5 percent formal training * 5 percent informal
training and mentoring *5 percent pro bono * 5 percent diversity
(overall) * 10 percent business outlook * 5 percent career outlook
* 10 percent substantive work
Like our Vault Law 100 rankings, our quality of life rankings
are meant to reflect the subjective opinions of associates. These
rankings are based on perceptions of insiders--some of whom may be
biased in favor (or against) their firms.

San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker has forged what will likely end up as a Hall-of-Fame career out of his ability to finish at the rim. However, his performances in the first two games of his team's Western Conference Semifinals series against the Golden State Warriors left much to be desired. Coming into Friday night's Game 3 in Oakland, Parker had shot just a combined 18-of-43 from the floor (41.9 percent).
It's safe to say that Parker stepped up in the first half of Game 3. Take, for instance, this wild shot from the final seconds of the first quarter. After getting beat off the dribble, Warriors wing Draymond Green fouled Parker and sent him stumbling towards the basket. Parker put up a shot in the fashion you'd expect from a man who had appeared to lose all sense of balance, releasing the ball from his hip in some kind of bizarre cross-body prayer.
Except it went in, because that's just the kind of half Parker had. In 18 minutes, Parker shot 11-of-14 from the field for 25 points to lead his team to a 57-48 halftime lead.
On Thursday, Parker received some mild negative attention for appearing to claim that he'd invented the teardrop shot. While it turns out that those quotes were probably taken just a bit out of context, there's no question that Parker proved his sense of originality with this and-one. This is one shot he most definitely came up with all on his own.

Payless Shoes' Fashion Gamble
|Runway shows of fashion designers Lela Rose and Laura Poretzky, who are offering their footwear designs in Payless stores.
The storied merchants of Manhattan's Fifth Avenue have a neighbor with a new look these days: Payless ShoeSource Inc., the retailer long known for cluttered, warehouse-like stores, budget shoppers and shoes that rarely cost more than $15 a pair. Across from Lord & Taylor at 39th Street, the Payless store sports a new sleek design and shoes such as a $22 platform pump with a bow tie.
The store is part of a gamble for the Topeka, Kan., company and Chief Executive Matthew E. Rubel. He believes stylish products and spruced-up stores will lure young, hip consumers and persuade longtime customers to spend more.
Once a feared force, Payless saw its performance sag in recent years under pressure from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and other discount rivals. Its image suffered too. One analyst said it sold "some of the ugliest shoes in America." Before Mr. Rubel accepted the job in 2005, he toured Payless stores with his son, then 11, who he says described them as looking "kind of like Mom's dirty closet."
A year and a half later, Payless's makeover is under way at many of its more than 4,500 stores. It's offering trendier products such as Lucite platform wedges and patent-leather zippered boots by fashion designer Laura Poretzky. Most of its shoes are still inexpensive, but it is also testing pairs that cost $40 or even $60.
This summer, the company will open a design office in New York to focus on original styles, and for the first time it has its own design chief. It's advertising in Vogue magazine, getting exposure for its shoes on the runways of New York's Fashion Week, and spending more than $100 million a year on marketing. Even its logo has been redesigned, although it still uses the trademark Payless orange. Read more. – Stephanie Kang

Still, for $799 users get a pretty decent deal with a 1.4GHz Core Duo 2 SU9400, 2GB of DDR3 RAM and a 128GB SSD, as well as looks and portability to challenge Apple�s 13-inch MacBook Air. The latter is a bit lighter at just under three pounds and features discrete Nvidia graphics rather than Intel�s integrated solution, but Dell offers a slightly larger 13.4-inch display and a price that�s $500 lower. The latest cut certainly gives buyers an added reason to consider the Adamo.
We�ll be keeping an eye out for a system refresh now that Sandy Bridge is out. Dell hasn�t made any announcements or given us any indication of such plans, but they certainly seem keen on clearing out the current Adamo inventory.

24 regions in Bulgaria dangerously polluted
Updated on: 19.12.2008, 17:40
Published on: 19.12.2008, 17:37
A report listing 24 regions in Bulgaria with increased health risk for their residents due to heavily polluted soil or air, was accepted by the Government on December 18 2008, Bulgarian-language Sega daily reported.
The report was a needed foundation upon which various prophylactic programmes will be initiated for the better quality of life in all 14 cities and 10 villages in question.
Health hazards due to high indexes of air pollution has Sofia, especially in the area of the steel mill Kremikovtsi; also in the industrial city of Pernik at 30 km southwest of Sofia; in Kurdjali, where one of the biggest non-ferrous metallurgy factory is located; Bourgas; Devnya; and the region of Stara Zagora, Radnevo and Gulubovo, with the nearby thermal power plant Maritsa-Iztok, regularly spewing out toxic gases, the dangerous sulphur dioxide being only one of them.
In the group with polluted soil fall the same cities and 10 other villages, some of which are Chelopech, Ostrovitsa, Zlidol, Zverino, Kroumovo and Brestnik, all of them near intensive mining operations.
The criteria used to determine which settlements hid health hazards for their residents were outlined by the Health Minister Evgenii Zhelev and the Environment Minister Djevdet Chakurov. They have evaluated indexes indicating exceeded concentration of toxic gasses in the air, metals, resistant organic pollutants as well as registered poor quality of the region's drinking water, Sega daily reported.
Only two months ago, Zhelev tried to push through a programme for healthier environment in the Stara Zagora region, with an estimated cost of two million leva. The Cabinet turned it down with the argument that Stara Zagora was not the only settlement in the country in need of a cleaner air. The Government's legal team also has cited a legal framework that required the existence of an approved list of environmentally endangered settlements in order for such programme to be implemented, Sega daily reported.
What would be the budget allotted for the "revitalising" of each of the 24 settlements would depend on the Health Minister, and as of now, no certain amount has been indicated, the newspaper said.

The true story tale follows two best friends who live on the small island of Corsica where they choose different paths in life - one as an honest working man, the other as a gangster - and feud over a woman who comes between them.
Oliver Hirschbiegel ("Downfall") and Luca Guadagnino ("I Am Love") were previously linked as directors, while actors like Andrew Garfield and Gemma Arterton have been mentioned in conjunction with earlier incarnations.
Frequent Bond film scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are penning the script and producing alongside Adi Shankar, Spencer Silna, Alison Owen and Paul Trijbits.
Park is expected to helm this before he goes to work on S. Craig Zahler's ultraviolet western "The Brigands of Rattleborge" which needs to secure a major star.

Last call for comment on HTML Media Capture API
Doug Schepers noted today on the W3C Audio Working Group's listserve that the Device API Working Group has issued a "last call" for comment on the HTML Media Capture API. As Doug mentioned in his post, the Web Audio API is expected to make use of the HTML Media Capture API in order to obtain microphone input, so it would behoove anyone with a vested interest in web audio to peruse and make relevant comments. Additionally, Doug points out that the security model implemented on the HTML Media Capture API would make a good model for the forthcoming Web MIDI API.
Comments on HTML Media Capture must be in by 9 August 2012.

According to a British newspaper, eleven terrorist suspects were arrested in Kuala Lumpur and the state of Kedah, Malaysia, last week and questioned about the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. As the investigation into the missing Boeing 777 nears a full two months without a trace being found of the plane, it would appear that Malaysian authorities have finally gotten around to detaining al Qaeda-linked persons of interest -- the cliched "usual suspects" -- in a case that is long on mystery and short on definitive evidence.
But the Malaysian government is insisting that the arrests are unrelated to the missing Malaysia Airlines plane. The Boston Globe reported May 5 that Malaysian officials dispute the report from the Daily Mail that quoted an anonymous government official associated with counter-terrorism who claimed that the eleven al Qaeda operatives arrested, although denying involvement in the disappearance of the missing aircraft, have raised suspicions about the possibility of a militant hijacking.
"The possibility that the plane was diverted by militants is still high on the list and international investigators have asked for a comprehensive report on this new terror group," the officer said, according to the Daily Mail.
"That's rubbish! This has nothing to do with the plane," Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar told The Star (per the Globe) on Sunday.
The Daily Mail's story relies heavily upon the continuing belief -- one not dispelled by current evidence -- that Flight MH370 could have been hijacked by terrorists and forced to alter its course. This was fueled early on by fear of terrorists being aboard the plane, given that two Iranian students studying in Malaysia had boarded with false passports. However, it was later discovered that instead of possible terrorists, the young men had been involved in a smuggling exercise designed to spirit them away from Iran.
That mystery solved, it still left the matter of the unknown whereabouts and circumstances of missing Flight MH370 .
The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 left Kuala Lumpur on a flight northward to Beijing, China, on March 8. It disappeared from land-based radar about halfway across the South China Sea. However, subsequent radar signals tracked by the Malaysian military indicate that the plane had altered course and had turned around.
Since then, every sort of odd and credible theory has been proposed to explain the missing plane and the possible whereabouts of the 239 passengers and crewmen that were aboard the flight. The odd theories range from a UFO encounter/abduction to a Bermuda Triangle-like paranormal experience. The more credible span ideas such as a hijacking to a catastrophic electronic cascade to Flight 370 becoming a "zombie plane" due to a possible disintegration of a load of lithium-ion batteries in the cargo hold.
The massive international search for the missing plane is now exlusively underwater and centered over the southern Indian Ocean west of Australia. The sea floor is being scoured for the Boeing 777, authorities working on projections of fuel capacity, altitude, and speed of the airplane to hopefully eventually find Flight 370 and its missing passengers and crew. The final direction of the jet was determined from electronic pings received by a British satellite that placed the plane over a thousand miles west of the Australian coastline and headed in a southerly direction.
