Skip to comments.New group wants Bush out
Posted on 10/17/2005 10:16:39 AM PDT by WestTexasWend
Organization hands out fliers, graffitis to get message out - There are only 16 days until the beginning of the end of the Bush regime, according to the World Can't Wait, a new political organization. The Austin chapter plans to be on campus and around town handing out fliers and actively advertising their cause.
"This administration does not represent us ... even though they say they do," said Sonya Morales, head of the Austin chapter.
Today marks the fifth day of encampment outside the White House counting down to Nov. 2, the day WCW has organized protest marches in 40 cities and college campuses across the nation. Nov. 2 is also the one-year anniversary of President Bush's re-election to office.
"We're not just going to be the same old people sitting at tables on the West Mall," Josh Waldman, an Austin WCW member, said. "We're going to be making noise and getting attention."
Advocates of the organization have spray-painted information regarding the WCW Web site and its motto, "Resist or Die," on buildings and sidewalks on or near the UT campus.
Because the offenses occurred at an institution of higher education the graffiti "is considered a state jail felony," said Sgt. Leigh Glass, a spokeswoman at UTPD. The department will be investigating the owners of the Web site to find out who committed the crime. Morales said the organization does not advocate the graffiti but that it is an indication the organization is inspiring people.
According to WCW, the march is only one event in a string of others meant to change the current political climate to one similar to that during the Vietnam War.
"We want to bring things back to that type of movement," Waldman said.
While WCW's goal is to drive Bush's administration out of office, they admit that may not immediately happen.
"The office is built specifically so the president could ignore public opinion," said David Prindle, a UT government professor.
Public opinion polls as of Thursday showed 38 percent of the country believes Bush is doing a good job.
"Bush is not setting any records in unpopularity, but it is very difficult to remove a president from office," Prindle said.
"A Republican congress is not going to impeach Bush unless he's caught committing felonies in the White House," Prindle said. "Nothing in his character suggests he would resign ... and barring a stroke or cerebral hemorrhage, I don't see Cheney removing him from office."
Strike back by cheering for Texas Tech this Saturday! :) GUNS UP!!!
Amazing what 3 people can do after an hour of passing around a bong.
Isn't that World Championship Wrestling?
Would I be a bad person to wish for the latter?
Austin and Houston are the "blue counties" on the Hannity Bush Country '04 map...any wonder the first thing that happens is that laws are broken? TT throws for 600+ yards against a top 5 defense against the pass....
Does bong mean STD?
These people seem particularly stupid - have they stopped to think about who becomes President if anything (God forbid) should happen to President Bush?
And that even if Cheny didn't want a second term then he would be in a positition to appoint a new VP and he he could help that person get another 4-8 years?
But that said, it's not going to be helpful to prosecute political graffiti on campuses as jail felonies... it will make up look like China.
The inability to distinguish between what is real and what is imaginary. Psychosis is a term used to describe a severe mental illness. Psychotics are characterized by a variety of symptoms that most people consider abnormal. These include experiencing delusions, such as the notion that one is being persecuted or conspired against. Psychotics may see things which don't actually exist and hear Voices (i.e. God) when no one is around. They often exhibit compulsive, irrational, ritualized behavior, esp. when such behavior serves no purpose or is even harmful or disruptive to those around them. They show no concern for others but may exhibit total self-centered behavior. Includes sociopathy, schizophrenia.
and thats MISTER Dickhead to you, sailor!
Yes, but only because wishful thinking is never enough!
Nov 2nd, the day when everything we'll change forever....we're only $10 away from impeaching the chimp....DUAC! DUAC!
Yeah, good luck with that...
How'd you know that's what I was thinking ..?? ROTFLOL!!
"These people seem particularly stupid - have they stopped to think about who becomes President if anything (God forbid) should happen to President Bush?"
This is the really funny part: If (God forbid) anything would happen to Pres. Bush, we'd have Pres. Cheney, and if this bunch of wackos think he'd be a wimp on the GWOT, they've got another think coming.
That is one reaons the Bush Library will not go to Austin, too many freakoids.
Guns Up!!! TT beat UT!
Like the Clinton Klan represented Conservatives when they were in office? Get over it. You ran 2 wooden facsimili's for the Presidency instead of human beings. You take extremist stances and claim they are what the "people" want, and then whine when the "people" kick you out of office.
As a past USN "Sea Bee", I got a great big chuckle out of that one. I have a feeling our Marine Corps brothers will be a bit ticked off though. ;)
...So you ARE going to be those same old people sitting in the West Mall.
"No one is listening to us! We need to be LOUDER, 'cuz the message ain't the problem!!
I'd rather see the perps put to work with turpentine and toothbrushes. Make 'em clean up their own mess - it would probably be the first time many of them had been held accountable for something they had done.
If I recall correctly, that one particular Marine was ticked off...
ACTUALLY attend your classes for just one day wacko clowns.. Ask your Professor "What is a Constitutional Republic"? Be sure to have an appointment scheduled with a competent mental health professional immediately after since the shock of encountering reality may do irreparable harm.
Besides, I predict they will be successful. In fact, I'm seeing the day clearly.. in my head... forming... forming... yes! On January 20, 2009, they will have been successful in removing President Bush from office! Mark it down. You read it here first!
Sounds like they spent some time huffing the paint as well.
Cheer up, Bush-lovers...you'll be rid of him in about 1,190 days, actually.
oops I mean cheer up Bush HATERS, you'll be rid of him in 1,190 days...yikes...
Right you are Steven. He most certainly was.
I was referring to the Marines being under the Department of the Navy and how they get miffed when they are called "sea going bell hops".
A big Semper Fi to all my Marine Corps brothers!
There ... that aught to save my butt
WCW's Chicago chapter was involved in the arrests at the Minuteman meeting on Saturday.
WCW?? Didn't Vince McMahon buy them a few years ago?
These kids need to be shown film from Kent state.
Ronnie Earle's hometown.
Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.
Your government puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.
The radical left means to overthrow our constitutional form of government. It's the only way they can build their socialist utopia.
"Resist or Die" and in the past election it was "Vote or Die"! These mottos coming from liberals that support abortion either are meaningless or proof that Democraps are the embracing culture of death! No wonder they love terrorists so much!
Thank God.
"We want to bring things back to that type of movement," Waldman said.
Waldman must be on LSD.
Everytime I want to make fun of these people, they beat me to the punch.
When they coined the phrase "Keep Austin Weird" these are some of the idiots they had in mind!
It's obviously a play on P. Diddy's/Puff Daddy's/Diddy's failed motto from last year "Vote or Die." Hey, we held up our end.
What is this Gang Rule. Who the H#** are they? And Who Cares!
just thought I'd let y'all know that I've been all over campus since 8:00 this morning, and haven't been handed one such flier, nor seen this group. Glad this "effort" didnt materialize.
In an aside, we should see a good game this weekend.
Stuck completely on stupid.
I agree shoot the stupid pri--s on site.
There being ran by the Revolutionary Communist Party, and supported by the WWP and the CPUSA
Yes he is. Take a very close look at this left hand. My DIL caught that right off the bat.I guess being a Marine wife for six years gives you a good eye for hand gestures in photos.
Wow, a bunch of communist faggots passing out pamphlets in Austin. I am sure Bush is shaking in his boots.
>>>Uh, yes he does. Says so right here in the Constitution. You may not like it, you are going to have to suck it up anyway. Don't these people have lives?<<<
When the President starts following the Constitution, he will represent us. Not before. And if you are going to pretend to be an authority on the Constitution, and lecture others on it, you should at least read it.
Your reasoning is flawed. Did you flunk logic? The President is the President.
Did FDR follow the Constitution? What about LBJ? What about most of our Presidents, especially the modern ones? If they failed to follow the Constitution, they were still the President. In the sense that they are the President, they do indeed represent the collective votes of the American people and are duly sworn in to act as the Chief Executive.
You can whine all day that "they don't represent us because ________________________". Constitutionally, they DO. Get over it.
Oh, that's right. You have read the Constitution. That makes you the decider of all that's right and true. NOT.
>>>Did FDR follow the Constitution? What about LBJ? <<<
No, and they did not represent us. They represented Socialism, which is TYRANNY!
>>>What about most of our Presidents, especially the modern ones? If they failed to follow the Constitution, they were still the President.<<<
And they are still Tyrants, which means (in any logical mind) that they represented themselves, not us.
>>>In the sense that they are the President, they do indeed represent the collective votes of the American people and are duly sworn in to act as the Chief Executive.<<<
They are elected according to principles enumerated in our Constitution. If they ignore it as soon as they are in power, they are tyrants!
God help us...

Youngest British hostage killed by terrorists in Algeria had just become a father and had been in desert job for a week
- Sebastian John had only been in Algeria a week and was on a BP training course
- He died in the siege at the desert facility, which was overrun by Jihadists
- Mr John is the fourth British victim to be named
The widow of a young BP engineer killed in the Algerian terrorist siege paid tribute yesterday to her 'amazing' husband.
Sebastian John, 26, the father of a seven-month-old son, had been sent to the desert only one week before the attack.
His devastated wife Nicola, 29, said: 'Sebastian was the most amazing person. He was a fantastic husband, father, son and brother.
Gone: Sebastian John, the fourth British victim of the Algerian siege to be named. He is pictured with his wife Nicola and baby, who is now seven months old
'There won't be a moment that goes by where we won't think of him. We are so proud of Sebastian for all he achieved in his life.
'He was taken away from us too early and in the most tragic circumstances. We will always love him, he will be forever in our hearts and eternally missed.'
Mr John was a civil engineer for BP
and and only arrived in Algeria a week before the siege, which has
claimed the lives of six UK nationals.
'We will always love him, he will be forever in our hearts and eternally missed.'
He had recently moved from Nottingham to Sunbury-on-Thames in Surrey, where BP's HQ is located.
Mr John was privately educated at Norwich School between 1997 and 2004 and attained a first class honours degree in civil engineering from Loughborough University in 2009.
He worked as a graduate trainee at the civil engineering firm Arup in Solihull and at another firm called Tony Gee and Partners.
He was chairman of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) East Midlands Graduates and Students Group last year and wrote on the organisation's website that civil engineering was a 'discipline which affects everyone in every walk of life'.
Richard Coackley, former president of the ICE, said: 'Sebastian was a talented young civil engineer with the world at his feet.
'His mild-mannered, supportive nature made him a pleasure to be around and his commitment and passion for his work and his young family shone through in all that he did.
'It was an absolute honour and a pleasure to have him as my apprentice last year and I know he will be greatly missed by all.'

A total of six British workers were killed in the attack by heavily-armed Islamic militants
His brother's church, the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter, issued a statement which read: 'We have learnt of the execution of Sebastian at the hands of his Muslim captors.
'Please pray for the repose of his soul, for his widow and baby boy, and for the conversion of his assassins.'
The announcement comes as efforts continued to repatriate the victims' bodies.
A total of 37 foreign workers are believed to have died at the remote desert facility - part-operated by BP - which was overrun by heavily-armed terrorists on Wednesday January 16.
Some 29 of the hostage-takers died, while three were captured by Algerian troops during a special forces mission to end the four-day stand-off.
Three of the Britons killed have been named as 46-year-old security expert Paul Morgan, systems supervisor Garry Barlow, 49, from Liverpool, and 59-year-old planning manager Kenneth Whiteside, from Glenrothes, Fife.
Colombian BP executive Carlos Estrada, who lived in London, is also believed to have died.

The family of a British survivor said today they were overjoyed that he is safe and well, but need time to come to terms with what has happened.
In a statement issued through the Foreign Office, Lou Fear's loved ones said: 'The family is greatly relieved by Lou's safe return.
'This has been a very traumatic experience for the whole family, especially Lou. Our thoughts are with Lou's colleagues and their families.
Missing: Carson Bilsland is believed to have been killed in the crisis but his death has yet to be formally announced
'We now need to start the process of coming to terms with what has happened and need time alone to do this. We therefore ask that the media respect our privacy.'
The Foreign Office refused to confirm any further details but Mr Fear, 56, who reportedly lives in Louth, Lincolnshire, and was working as a team leader for BP, hid when the raid on the refinery began, then walked for 20 hours to reach safety.
Another Briton reported to died in the siege is Carson Bilsland, from Perthshire.
He had reportedly worked in Algeria for around two years as a testing technician and was a former member of the British speed ski team.
The Government is considering increasing logistical support for the French-led military campaign against rebels in neighbouring Mali.
Prime Minister David Cameron has insisted the UK is 'not seeking a combat role', but armed forces units have reportedly been placed on 'high readiness' to deploy.
Mr Cameron has said there will be a global 'generational struggle' against Al Qaeda-inspired Islamist terrorism in North Africa.
He pledged to provide intelligence and counter-terrorism assets to help track down and dismantle the terror network responsible for the attack in Algeria.
BP group chief executive Bob Dudley
has said the company 'feared the worst' for four of its 18 employees who
have not been found safe.

'We have been gravely concerned for these colleagues and feared one or more fatalities among their number,' he said.
'It is with great sadness that I now have to say that we fear the worst for them all. We are doing all we can to support their families and ask everyone to show them consideration and to respect their privacy.'
Forensic experts from the UK, US and Norway are working with the Algerian authorities formally to identify a number of bodies found at the site.

2016 Olympics- Womens Match racing moves on after ISAF Decision
by Liz Baylis on 14 May 2011
Elliott 6 action from Day 2 of the Princess Sofia Trophy, Palma Spain . ..
Liz Baylis, Womens International Match Racing Association Director comments on the recent decision to drop the Womens Keelboat and March racing event from the 2016 Olympic card:
Dear WIMRA Sailors, Organizers, Umpires, and Fans,
As you probably know, the ISAF Council voted last week to remove the women's keelboat event from the Olympic slate for 2016. Obviously this is a great disappointment to us and perhaps a decision they will regret. But it is done and we must now look forward and not backwards.
We have seen an incredible growth of women's match racing throughout the world over the last 10 years:
- from 20 events in 2000 to over 80 in 2010;
- from 115 skippers on the ranking list in 2000 to 320 now;
- women's match racing happening in many new countries including RSA, SLO, CRO, PER, ESA, KOR, IND, and more;
Though this has been in part due to the inclusion in the Olympic programme for 2012, it is mainly due to the tremendous effort that all of you have put into growing our sport. I do not see the recent decision diminishing the fact that women's match racing is a dynamic and exciting discipline and many of our most talented sailors will continue to participate.
As WIMRA Vice President, Lotte Meldgaard Pedersen (DEN) said in a recent note to the ISAF Women's Forum:
'I don't think that match racing has ever been adopted by the Sailing World Cups to use its full potential, so not really a surprise that women's keelboat/match racing is out again. I'm sure match racing will be fantastic events at the Pre-Olympics, ISAF Worlds in Perth and at the Olympic Games 2012. And match racing will for sure survive also outside the Olympic programme, no doubt about that.'
Where do we go from here?
WIMRA is committed to helping ensure that the events Lotte mentioned are all fantastic events and that the Olympic Women's Match Racing event in 2012 showcases our sport for what it is: exciting, athletic, media friendly, and riveting. But, we will also be working outside of the Olympic programme to further develop women's match racing in new areas as well as bolster the existing excellent events and help develop new events.
We will continue to need your help, but we are also available to help you. Let's continue to work together to develop and grow our sport.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any thoughts or questions.
See you on the race course soon!
Liz Baylis
WIMRA Executive Director

Part 2 of the interview with Emirates Team NZ skipper Glenn Ashby.
In this part of the interview we look at what is going to happen once Emirates Team NZ get their 'AC49.5' sailing in Auckland, and how the campaign may shape up before they leave for Bermuda. Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
. . . to the 3:33-long theatrical movie preview Warner Bros. ran for its 1973 John Wayne vehicle, THE TRAIN ROBBERS. Director Burt Kennedy is seen briefly here, and the uncredited narrator intones that Wayne and his train-robbing cohorts are fighting a rival gang of "40" gunmen (about double the actual number of inept shooters slaughtered by "The Duke's" crew in this feature film). This puff piece claims the flick in question includes an "explosive relationship" between the characters played by Wayne and Ann-Margret, but again this deviates from what a viewer sees on-screen (which is more like the pairing of an Old Folks Home patient and the caregiver-of-the-day). One thing that the booming narrator FAILS to mention is that this mostly geriatric bunch of "TRAIN ROBBERS" only pick on a TOTALLY STATIONARY (i.e., derailed) steam engine. If such a scenario does not sound like your idea of excitement, find a kid and play with Thomas the Tank Engine, instead.
This had to be one of the very last of its kind: a short documentary on
the making of the film made as kind of a publicity tool. However, the
film seems tired and aware its a dying breed and does virtually nothing
to make me want to see this film.
I remember they used to do these all the time with films in the 1950's and 1960's--the pre-"Entertainment Tonight" era where now TV does their publicity for them.
This takes us to the little town in Mexico where the movie was filmed, tells a couple of tales while using little if any BTS footage--just clips from the movie for the most part.
It's definitely a relic of the past that probably knew it was a dying breed even back then.

What is the correct way to install the wired foundation? Is the bend in the wire suppose to be at the top bar or at the bottom of the frame?

A study in the journal Addiction found strong evidence that alcohol consumption can cause oropharynx, larynx, esophagus, liver, colon, rectum, and female breast cancer. Researcher Jennie Connor of the University of Otago in New Zealand said while other studies have found a causal effect between alcohol and cancer, there is confusion about the link and she wanted to "clarify the strength of the evidence" making the connection.
The t:slim insulin pump from Tandem Diabetes Care has received clearance from the FDA for an expanded indication and can now be used for patients ages 6 years and older. The touchscreen pump, which monitors insulin levels and carries 300 units of insulin, was previously cleared for patients as young as 12 years old.
Women with a reproductive span of less than 30 years had a 37% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, while those with more than 45 reproductive years had a 23% increased risk, compared with those who had medium-length reproductive span of 36 to 40 years, according to a study in Menopause. Researchers used a cohort of 124,379 women in the Women's Health Initiative and found a 1.04 and 1.08 higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes among those who had their final menstruation period before age 45 or after age 55, respectively, compared with women who had their final period between ages 46 and 55.
German researchers found that type 1 diabetes patients who received subcutaneous abdominal injections of insulin lispro into lipohypertrophic tissue had reduced insulin absorption, but increased instrasubject variability, than those in the normal adipose tissue group. The findings in Diabetes Care, based on 13 type 1 diabetes patients, showed those who received LHT injections also increased their postprandial blood glucose concentrations by 26% or more, with maximum concentrations occurring later, and had less frequent hypoglycemic events.
A meta-analysis of data on more than 1 million people found doing an hour of moderate to intense physical activity can offset the health risks of eight hours of sitting, researchers reported in The Lancet. The study found shorter periods of exercise, about 25 to 35 minutes per day, also can reduce the effects of long periods of sitting.
Emisoft has launched a free decryptor that health care organizations may use against the Stampado ransomware. Cyberattack victims may regain their encrypted files without having to pay the ransom by downloading the decryptor from Emisoft's website, the company said.
Almost 1,380 community health centers will receive $90 million in grants from the Health Resources and Services Administration's Bureau of Primary Health Care later this year to support the purchase of new health IT products as they transition to value-based care. The funds can be used for products to conduct electronic health information exchange, boost staff and patient engagement and use data analytics to improve decision making, as well as to make strategic investments.
Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Columbia University Medical Center and Montefiore Medical Group received $3 million from the National Institute of Mental Health to help increase the use of pre-exposure prophylaxis to reduce HIV transmission in the Bronx borough of New York. The project includes the creation of a tool to identify high-risk individuals and use of EMRs to facilitate screening, monitoring and prescribing of pre-exposure prophylaxis and communication among patients and clinicians.
University of Toledo researchers looked at 1,307 oncologic PET/CT exams interpreted by a nuclear medicine-trained radiologist and three body imaging-trained radiologists and found no significant individual and collective differences in sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of scan interpretations, suggesting current training is sufficient for developing reader competency. The findings were presented at the SNMMI Annual Meeting.
Health insurers are taking steps lower opioid utilization, fight misuse, and prevent addiction and overdoses. Anthem's Pharmacy Home Program is one such effort, designed to identify and tailor interventions to the highest-risk consumers, while the Opioid Safety Management Program of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts helped lower opioid prescriptions by almost 21 million, and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care is covering non-opioid alternatives to steer patients away from opioids when other options are appropriate.

Lanesboro City Council Report: City Administrator takes steps to improve city books
Fri, Oct 10th, 2003
Posted in Features
Posted in Features
Bobbie Torgerson stepped into her role of city administrator and submitted her plan to correct negative cash balances in city funds at the October 6th Lanesboro Council meeting. Some of the funds had corresponding CDs which Torgerson suggested cashing, using some of the money to give the funds a positive balance and then purchasing a new CD with the remainder of the money.
The council agreed and took action to correct the funds for the Interpretive Center, Park and Recreation, the street truck, and the Small City Capital Projects. Action was delayed on the Fire and Ambulance Funds and the Coffee Street Project Fund until city auditor CPA Lloyd Johnson could be consulted on those. Torgerson pointed out that the changes would provide for more accountability and help manage cash flow better with a more accurate picture of the state of the city�s finances. Torgerson also asked for her name to be put on the city bank accounts and that Liz Dybing give a report to the city monthly on the Farmer�s Market checking account. Torgerson requested a new/different computer, noting that her computer needed repair and was too slow to run the necessary city software. When it was mentioned that a spare computer previously purchased by the fire department was sitting unused at City Hall, the council opted to contact the fire department for an approval to allow Torgerson to use that computer. The council, as a whole, thanked Torgerson for her well-thought, written requests and recommendations to the council. Police Contract with Preston The Lanesboro City Council had a chance to peruse a draft police service contract which would provide joint police service for Preston and Lanesboro. The contract provides for at least one officer on duty for the two cities between 12 and 22 hours each day. It also calls for a joint purchase of a new squad car and a suggested compensation for Lanesboro police coverage of $65,000. Council member Kevin Drake commented that Lanesboro wasn�t saving anything with this contract. City Attorney Tom Manion responded the council might want to ask how the cost structure was determined. Manion pointed out that there was no provision for court time for officers in the contract, but quickly added, �We�re happy to have the potential of working with Preston. This is just a draft.� The Council concurred as Councilman Jerome Halverson commented, �These are things we can work out.� The Council felt they needed an understanding of the personnel costs such as retirement programs and insurance costs and a more definitive idea of the number of police hours Lanesboro would be getting. Mayor Steve Rahn asked the council to give their comments and questions about the contract to City Administrator Bobbie Torgerson by week�s end so she could coordinate with the city attorney and Preston to get a response by the next council meeting. Rahn added, �At least it�s a start.� In the meantime, the Fillmore County Sheriff�s Department is supplying temporary police coverage for the city with additional drive-throughs. When a comment was made that the city has had some vandalism, councilman Halverson replied, �You have that when you have an officer here too!� Other business In other business, the council: � Decided to send letters to the citizens delineating the requirements for building permits, explaining the Historic Preservation Ordinance, and giving details of the Truth in Taxation meetings; � Passed a motion stating that the city is not willing to pay additional costs of fixing the Coffee Street Bridge decking, noting that they felt Minowa and WHKS Engineering should be responsible for the corrections; � Approved $2,000 expenditure for the fire chief�s convention; � Directed city attorney Tom Manion to initiate the mortgage foreclosure procedure on non-pays of the Small Cities Grant; � Set a meeting date of 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, October 15th with Attorney Eric Galatz to discuss progress on the Center for the Arts management � Accepted the proposal from Mike Bubany of David Drown Associates for services in establishing a Tax Increment Financing District for the Church Hill Project. The developers will be required to deposit an estimated $7,000 for total costs.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Florida and Oklahoma will tussle to determine a national champion in Miami Thursday night, but one thing already has been determined:
They represent the two most powerful conferences in the country.
The Southeastern Conference and Big 12 have taken over college football in the short term, and perhaps in the long term as well. With the exception of occasional incursions by USC and Ohio State, the two leagues own the joint.
They've got the hardware: Representatives of those conferences have won three straight national titles (Texas, Florida and LSU), heading for a fourth. The SEC is trying for its own three-peat. At least one team from the Big 12 or SEC has appeared in six straight championship games.
The SEC and Big 12 have had eight of the 12 championship-game participants over the past six years. The Big Ten and Pac-10 have produced two each, and both of those are the same schools, whereas the SEC and Big 12 have been more diversified. The ACC and Big East have failed to place a team in the Big Enchilada since Miami was upset by Ohio State after the 2002 season.
They've got the rankings: The top four teams in the final Associated Press Top 25 of December were all from the SEC and Big 12. Nine teams from the two leagues were ranked.
They've got the accolades: Fifteen of the 25 members of the AP All-America first team were from the SEC and Big 12. The top five vote-getters for the 2008 Heisman Trophy all were from those two leagues.
Meanwhile, the Big Ten's regression is as plain as the league's bowl results: 1-6 this season. The Pacific-10 is ephemeral outside of USC, with programs rising and falling. The Big East lost much of its power when it was raided by the Atlantic Coast Conference, which, in turn, has failed to gain any traction as a 12-team league, in large part due to poor coaching.
So it's a Big 12-SEC gridworld, and everyone else has to deal with it.
How and why has it become this way? The simple answer is better players and better coaching.
The two leagues sit on prime recruiting soil: Texas for the Big 12 and Florida for the SEC. (And the rest of the Deep South ain't bad, either.) If they do a good job keeping the best players at home, they should never run out of talent.
Seven of the top eight prospects in the ESPNU Top 150 senior class are from Texas, Florida or the Deep South. Four of them have given verbal commitments to SEC or Big 12 schools. The state of Florida has the most players in the ESPNU 150 with 25, followed by Texas with 19 and Georgia with 17. California is fourth with 15.
This might just be a cyclical thing, but even less-populated Southern states like South Carolina (with nine ESPNU Top 150 prospects), Louisiana (seven) and Alabama (six) currently rank right up there with traditional Northern hotbeds Ohio (six) and Pennsylvania (five).
"If you're Missouri, Kansas or Colorado, you have to go into Texas for players," said national director of recruiting for ESPN's Scouts Inc., Tom Luginbill. "But in most of the SEC, you can build your program based on the talent in your home state, then adding to it by going into neighboring states."
And on those occasions when the SEC and Big 12 powerhouses need to leave their backyards for prospects, they can. Florida's current commitment list includes a quarterback from Connecticut, a defensive end from Colorado and an offensive guard from Indianapolis. Alabama grabbed the nation's No. 2 fullback out of Toledo, Ohio. Oklahoma has a defensive end from Las Vegas.
Of the 15 2009 recruiting classes ESPN.com ranks (subject to change from now until signing day in February), six are SEC schools and two are the old reliables from the Big 12: Texas and Oklahoma.
Don't think warm weather isn't a factor in this. And an emphasis on sports.
"The level of importance placed on athletics in these Southern states, for the most part, is far more than that in other states in general," Luginbill said.
There is more year-round football in the warm-weather states. More 7-on-7 football, more passing camps. And the more time players spend throwing and catching, the more prepared they are for college.
The spread-offense boom is a prime example. The rocket fuel behind the offensive pyrotechnics in the Big 12 is the spread, and nowhere is the spread being practiced and perfected in high school the way it is in Texas.
"It is in vogue with the high schools," Oklahoma offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said.
"The spread is popular throughout the area," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. "You do see a lot of quarterbacks at [the high-school level] who are running spread offenses."
You see a lot of good quarterbacks in Texas, period. Twelve Texas quarterbacks have started bowl games this season, according to the Houston Chronicle. Five of the top 10 nationally in pass efficiency are from Texas. If your favorite school has not recruited a quarterback out of Texas (no fewer than 21 of them signed letters of intent with FBS schools in 2007), ask why not.
"I would give the nod to quarterback play in the state of Texas [over everywhere else]," Luginbill said.
But as we all know, recruiting rankings can be famously inaccurate. If they were gospel, Texas would have been led to glory this year by Jevan Snead. Instead it was Colt McCoy doing the handiwork, while Snead was leading Mississippi after being beaten out for the job in Austin and transferring.
So it takes quality coaching to get the most out of that talent. And the SEC and Big 12 are brimming with good coaches who make great salaries.
Five 2008 SEC coaches had won national titles (Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, Les Miles, Steve Spurrier and Phil Fulmer). Three more had won BCS bowls (Mark Richt, Tommy Tuberville and Bobby Petrino). Houston Nutt had a 10-win season on his résumé and has quickly revived Mississippi. Rich Brooks performed the original miracle at Oregon, taking the previously awful Ducks to the Rose Bowl, and now has taken previously awful Kentucky to three straight bowls. Bobby Johnson just took Vanderbilt to its first bowl since 1982.
Two from the Big 12 have won it all (Stoops and Mack Brown), and there is hope that the league can diversify its power base beyond Austin and Norman in the coming years. Mike Leach has lifted Texas Tech to new heights, and Mike Gundy is on a roll at Oklahoma State (with the ample financial backing of T. Boone Pickens). Gary Pinkel and Mark Mangino have made football relevant again at Missouri and Kansas, respectively. Bo Pelini is off to a promising start at Nebraska.
On Thursday night, either Meyer or Stoops will become the first two-time BCS champion coach. No matter who wins, we all know which leagues are 1-2 in college football right now, and perhaps for years to come.

I would describe my style as a 'delegator'. Delgeating work gives your subordinate a sense of trust, helps improve work-flow, and ultimately takes a load of tasks off of the leader's desk.
How would you describe your basic leadership style? Give specific examples of how you practice this?

I would say that I have a mixed leadership style that is situational. Generally I am democratic but there are times that I need to be authoritative because some things just require a decision to be made.

This is a 'standing up' Spongebob cake I made with a little help from my husband- he made the internal wooden support. It was a butter cake, covered in fondant. The hamburger was entirely made of fondant and the sand is brown sugar. I made this three years ago and it is still my favourite cake.

I really like blogging. I'm very glad for blogs.msdn.com. I also think Community Server (the software on which blogs.msdn.com is built) is a great piece of software.
Today I was reading some of the other posts from blogs.msdn.com and I noticed a post from another blogger with the same skin as I currently have. Although Community Server allows you to choose among several skins for your blog, there are only so many skins, and when you have thousands of bloggers, you quickly see the same themes on many of the blogs.
Fortunately, there is a way to work around this. Community Server has created a feature called CSS overrides. All you have to do is to add overrides in your mangement interface, and you can make your own "feel" based on the theme. To use overrides for the skin that I'm using, you can find information about how to customize it here.
Right now, I'm somewhat limited to taking images I can find on the the internet. Once I get my home PC out of storage I can make some cool custom images for my site and really make is something truly unique.

Men's Wearhouse Beats Expectations 0 comments
Originally published at www.seclive.com
The Men's Wearhouse, Inc. (MW) announced its financial results for the first fiscal quarter of 2014, posting results that beat analyst expectations. The Federal Trade Commission just last week approved the $1.8B acquisition of Jos. A Bank Clothiers (NASDAQ:JOSB), stating that the deal is unlikely to harm consumers, resulting in antitrust clearance. The company's earnings fell 50% from $33.1M and $0.65 per share in the year-ago quarter to $16.5M and $0.34 per share, while adjusted earnings increased from $0.65 to $0.69 per share. Net sales increased 2.3% to $630.5M while comparable-store sales increased 2.9% during the quarter. Once completed, the acquisition of Jos. A Bank will result in a company employing 23,000 people in more than 1,700 stores across the country with estimated sales of $3.5B.

text: I want to put a Surefire M300A on my AR. I do not have any rails on the forearm. I don't want to use a VFG. I want to leave the light off most of the time, but be able to attach it quickly. I'll just use the tailswitch... not a tape switch. Would I be better off to use one of the railed sections that attaches to my forearm, one of the railed sections that bolts through the front sight base, or one of the railed sections that bolts onto the bayonet lug? Or, am I missing an option? Thanks, Jerry. Wanna kill these ads? We can help!
