News on the 2013 recruiting front has been quiet, but Indiana and head coach Kevin Wilson have reportedly added a pair of preferred walk-ons for 2012 in the last month.
Quai Chandler, a 5-foot-11 1/2, 190-pound running back/defensive back from Lake Forest (Ill.) Academy, picked the Hoosiers in late April, according to the Beloit (Wisc.) Daily News — Chandler's hometown. Chandler rushed for over 1,100 yards and was Special Mention All-State as a defensive back.
The most unique note about Chandler is that his ties to Indiana include former Colts head coach Jim Caldwell, who is his father's first cousin.
The latest walk-on commit according to the Richmond Palladium-Item is Chandler Miller, a 6-foot-4, 192-pound wide receiver from Richmond. Miller tore his ACL in the fifth game of the season this past fall. He still finished with 2,019 career receiving yards, the most in school history by nearly 500 yards.

this is a great blog, keep me posted!
Depth, especially at D-back. More good news.
I like stories about walk-ons. I perceive them to be hungry and highly motivated to make the team and earn a scholarship. There are countless number of stories about undervalued guys that walk on to football teams, eventually earning a scholarship, and making great contributions to a team's success.
And these two guys seem to have the size necessary for Big Ten football.
Somehow I missed Andy Graham's great article on the Hoosiers football and Coach Kevin Wilson of May 20. Really worthwhile reading it (I finally did so today).
And, two or three great, great posts by Beat Purdue who exposed some pretenders who claim to be Hoosier fans.
Andy Graham had written a great, very informative article with realistic analysis (we're used to that from Andy Graham). Most important was a tremendous post by Beat Purdue. Beat Purdue's response to 'Hoosier Local' (who I strongly suspect is a remake of and often mentioned former poster known for his exaggerated 'insider' claims and vicious personal attacks on Hoosier coaches just as described) is great, valid and very, very needed. This may be the best football post in quite a long time.
We will be in a fight to attempt to gain respectability, perhaps and ironically mainly against some who claim to be Hoosier fans but who deep inside show their disdain for Hoosier football success out of their fear that they will be exposed for what they are: wannabes and, deep inside disloyal fans.
I suspect with coaches like Wilson, an outstanding staff of assistants and fans like Beat Purdue, Podenker, Chet and others who are determined to see the Hoosiers rise, we will get there. Go Hoosiers!
I think we will "get there" as well, but it may not be soon and it definitely won't be easy. IU is starting, once again, from the back of a very talented pack and while we are improving in every aspect of the program, so are our B10 opponents. In reading the specifics on our 2012 roster, I believe we now have the talent to hang with our non-conference opponents and with some of the B10 teams including, I think, Purdue. I would like to see 3-4 wins this year—tough, not impossible!
Podenker…or Podunker?
Top 5 anagrams for Podunker:

3. Punk Doer

1. Duke Porn
Rebuilding IU football is a process, and it will be a longer-than-normal rebuilding process because of our recent past and because of our lack of tradition in football. We are beginning to get the players necessary to compete in the Big Ten, but they will need time to get bigger, stronger, and integrated into Wilson's system. It's going to take years. We have to be patient and supportive through these tough times and encourage our fellow Hoosier fans to recognize signs of advancement (recruiting, coaching stability, etc).
But I think most fair-minded fans can appreciate improvement, in both the quality of IU's competitive effort in those games where nobody expects IU to win. There are no moral victories, but it should not be hard for IU fans to recognize progress, regardless of it's final record.
I think IU can win four games in 2012. But more importantly, I think we can play some of the Big Boys a lot tougher thane we have in the last three years. If we do that, I for one will be encouraged.
Harvard, congratulations on demonstrating your mastery of anagrams. I have not seen such a display since our fourth grade class at Child's Elementary School did that 45 years ago. That's special.
With a preseason #1 ranked basketball team, four measly wins in football will be a lot easier to swallow. Poor Mr. Lynch was judged during some of the darkest hours our basketball program has seen for many years. When both sports had nearly no light glowing at the end of a very dark long tunnel, the gavels came down impatiently hard on men that tried just as hard as the current king at the thrown. Now patience again be his rule. Funny how the guy with the thickest resume will now get the longest rope.
One sport, IU hoops, has now been brought through the tunnel of despair and football will be judged less harshly because Indiana fans have the winter months to once again look forward to. Much like the past, pigskin will serve its rightful place for some sitting in the sun a brisk fall day, sipping hot chocolate, and warming up the vocal chords for basketball season. Once again we can even the score with OSU, Illinois, Michigan, MSU, Penn State, and Northwestern when the b-ball echoes back to our storied tradition of dominance on maple.
Thanks to Tom Crean landing Cody Zeller, football becomes the tolerable opening act a great show.
Starting to sound like JPat is Scoop's 'Phantom' of the Tsao Opera-tion Football.
Has their ever been a greater Hoosier Scoop love story? One in hiding in solitude his hideous rumor…One singing in front the Scoop crowds beautiful notes a broken longing heart.
Could Tsao and JPat be nearing the Punt of No Return?
Has there ever…
As long as the football team appears to be steadily improving I'll probably remain patient. There was no doubt in my mind that the team worse getting worse by the week, let alone season, under BL.
Chet; well said. I concur. And I still don't understand all the heartache over BL's termination. He got a very nice severance and had another nice job within a year of being terminated by IU. BL was a decent man and he was treated with decency by IU's administration. I don't think he'll will be on welfare any time soon.
That's not really my point. You can't disagree that having one very successful major program removes a bit of impatience from the fan base. It brings a more positive vibe to the campus knowing the basketball program will not experience added demoralization following the all-too-familiar football follies.
Lynch did not have that warm and fuzzy feel buzzing around Bloomington. Wilson, a coach most would agree coming from a background of more prestige, operates under an administration feeling less overall pressure.
IU Athletics is back on the map and it's not due to football. A nice long rope of patience for Wilson, but does that hurt or help the football program? Does the sprouting seed and new luster of the Wilson hire begin to fade into the background of a fan's indifference with IU hoops back at national center stage?
Will the football losses have the same sting in October with anticipation one of our best basketball teams taking the floor in many, many, years come November?
Maybe not. We could have gone large and taken a chance with a coach that we knew would give us W's.
UNC hired Butch Davis and they were on the football map in a season and a half.
Wanna ask a Tar Heel fan if it was worth it?
I'll take the hand we're playing.
In a way it's like Kaintuck and Calapari. They know for a fact that he'll win and history tells them he will land them in hot water.
They decided it was worth it.
Who really wants to be like Kaintuck? They win a few basketball games but the school is a punchline.
Seriously, if you were building bridges and a guy with an engineering degree from UK comes in how likely is it that you'd hire him.
But they win basketball games.
Is it worth it?
Depends Harvard, on how you approach it. Some of us are very hopeful but realistically allowing for the fact that this will be team dominated by sophomores who are still learning the difference between winning and losing. We count on Wilson's experience at Northwestern and Oklahoma and his insistence that we develop the same culture and atmosphere of the top programs.
I, for one, wont anticipate basketball season in October; I'll be too preoccupied with supporting Hoosier football.
Lynch got a very fair chance from Indiana and, as pointed out, was treated very well. With the tragedy of Terry Hoeppner's death, everyone stood back and hoped Lynch's takeover would continue what we hoped was TH's progressively improving program. Few, very few, pressured Lynch until it became evident that IU was not only losing games, it was steadily losing competitiveness.
I was one of those. I don't think I seriously thought of change until seeing us go through two seasons of losing games in the fourth quarter, watching a defense that was consistently an embarrassment at best, defensive backs running and knocking each other and falling over as if in a Keystone Cops movie only to hear Coach Lynch explain why he could not afford the luxury of having players practice tackling and blocking; and refusing to make adjustments in personnel. In other words, two years and the prospects of No Way Out. Yet, we hoped on hope.
When the decision was made it was instinctive, it was time. The danger I think A.D. Glass understood was that if not done, the program was at risk and the investment in new facilities and the maximum use of IU's share of BTN money would be uselessly followed by complete loss of a fan base. Glass acted and intuitively most knew it was the right decision. The only thing to do was to handle the separation as fairly and elegantly as possible and that was also done.
I think this reflects what most Hoosier fans think is reasonable, justifiable while retaining hope for as successful a football program as we deserve. It is unfair to describe Lynch's firing as an evil conspiracy of no-support; or the absence of a warm, fuzzy community feeling around Bill Lynch. All to the contrary. Given what we knew of his coaching history- (at Ball State his teams were a success early in his tenure, with someone else's players dominating his roster only to collapse into failure leading to his dismissal later. Lynch was a good offensive coach while his defense a cruel testimony to his weakness.
Most important Lynch's sinned of misplaced and contradictory loyalty. His refusal to face reality and head off failure by making the changes necessary in his defensive staff condemned him by his own hand. No one mistreated anyone, there was no conspiracy…Lynch got a fair opportunity. It simply became just as much an issue of fairness that a real attempt be made to be properly loyal to Hoosier fans by putting a good, solid, self respecting and competitive football team on the field.
Glass understood the pressure was on his administration to do this and he acted by finding a coach with a true national reputation willing to accept the challenge. He acted and now we wait to see the results. Nothing unfair about that.
Nice reply Tsao. Only 553 words away from a really good post.
Season Two: "Win Two" Day is coming!
IU's recent success in basketball has nothing to do with IU football or the status of the football coach. IU's previous lack of success in basketball had nothing to do with IU firing BL. I don't see any connection whatsoever. Yes, fans may get grumpy when IU basketball is losing, but that does not equate to increased pressure on IU's football coach. I think the historical record will back be up on that. Bobby Knight's success did not save any of IU's football coaches their jobs.
As far as Wilson being selected as IU's football coach, my guess is that he was, in the opinion of Glass and others in power to decide, the best man available for the job at the time the job became open. And I do not agree that IU could have gone out and hired a Butch Davis-type head coach as UNC did a few years ago. The money was simply not there to pay a coach that kind of cash and the risk would have been huge. Wilson fit, both philosophically and financially, what IU's administrators wanted and needed. Time will tell if they guessed right, but he has six more years left on his contract and my guess is the buyout is big enough that he'll get at least four or five more years to demonstrate that Glass picked the right guy.
I agree with Podunker. I have been very impressed with Mr. Glass and respect the manner in which he appears to think decisions through (his predecessors were not as inclined). My guess is that he made an informed decision hiring CW and that time will validate that decision, though the validation is unlikely for several years.
Outside of a few blips on the radar, IU football has sucked for decades. The only reason fans weren't more outraged was because of those five banners hanging from Assembly Hall. When IU basketball began to falter in Knight's latter years, only then did the fans and administrators begin to pay more attention to that horrifically ugly and outdated stadium to the west. Should have started construction on a new basketball stadium instead of feeding money to the dead zombie that walks with no purpose or history…or relevance in a hoops state.
I don't disagree that Glass picked a decent man and good coach. That doesn't change the relaxation of expectations when all is well our renewed basketball Mecca(at least for now). Time will tell if Wilson accomplishes anymore than those that gave their best efforts before him. Fixing IU football is a momentous task within a state producing some of the best basketball talent in the nation.
Stories of football walk-ons is real inspiring stuff while Michigan and MSU steal some of the best basketball talent from our state.
Harvard, either IU is a basketball "mecca" or it is not. If a person believes that to be true, they probably don't really care much about IU football. As evidenced by continuous posts to this blog, I'd say there are a significant number of IU fans who feel that way. On the other hand, there are those people, like myself, while ardent IU basketball fans, see no reason why IU can't be good (i.e., competitive) in football while enjoying a dominant BB program. As I and others have mentioned previously, other colleges and college towns inferior to IU and Bloomington have achieved success in football and basketball. It has been done before, at other lesser colleges, therefore it can be done again, at IU.
IU had no choice but to invest in the football stadium and training facilities. And where is the outrage amongst Hoosier fans to replace Assembly Hall? I don't see it or hear it, anywhere! I love that old building and I still find it to be one of loudest most opponent-intimidating places to play in all of college basketball. Assembly Hall is not an embarrassment, like the old Memorial Stadium was. Overall, IU's BB facilities are still top notch throughout college basketball. It's obviously not hindering recruiting or preventing good coaches from accepting BB coaching jobs. In other words, Assembly Hall has not been, and is not currently, a problem. But Memorial Stadium was a problem and it had to be upgraded if IU was to have any chance at ever becoming competitive in football again. The investment in Memorial Stadium does not guarantee success in football, but failing to invest Memorial Stadium would have guaranteed continued failure.
The previous problems affecting IU basketball and football was a lack of vision and leadership. Putting it bluntly, IU athletics suffered from a succession of incompetent fools that occupied top administrative positions for many years. Just look at the turnover in A.D.s before Glass arrived. That turnover suggests that a few IU Presidents and Boards of Trustees were failing in their responsibilities regarding vision and leadership. As I see it, IU's current President and Glass are a major upgrade and are providing the leadership and vision that has been missing for many, many years. Strong and talented leaders surround themselves with strong and talented subordinates.
As for the expectations of the Hoosier Nation regarding football, I'd say Hep's untimely death and IU's history combined to reduce expectations. Hep's death was a major blow. And hiring Lynch to replace him beyond that next year was, as I shouted at the time, a big mistake that had long-term consequences. A good A.D. would have done the hard thing and not extended Lynch's contract, opting instead to hire a football coach with the pedigree necessary to build success in the Big Ten.
Good post Podunker!
That's a great summertime speech. You have valid arguments and they tend to win over the foolish ideas of Harvard.
I love the underdog status of IU football. I felt bad for Lynch. He seemed pretty genuine though not the typical Mike Ditka style of manliness most want out of their macho football leader. Lynch was the awkward looking spastic guy that couldn't even throw his gum out his mouth gracefully. How close he came to leading his undersized troops into Michigan and winning one for the dorky guys always getting picked on.
I think much of the attraction I have had for football(albeit very sporadic attraction) has been the juxtaposition of the two contrasting programs. Maybe there is nothing wrong with being the second favorite. Why must there be forced equality? Maybe after all the chances she's been given she'll just never measure up by the terms you want her to. Can't you love IU football because she's the loser that will never stop trying? Yes, she had all those warts, but those blemishes her unattractiveness may have brought to her doorstep some of the truest and loyal fans. I truly admire those Hoosier fans that put their butts in the stands and cheer though it's obvious she'll never wear the crown as queen at the homecoming dance? I can never understand that parent that painfully strives endlessly to place two uniquely different children on the same pedestal. Love IU football for her wonderful spiri. Though she may never get the attention of a handsome Seth Davis, love her for her brains and unassuming awkward beauty. Why must you make her into Hoosier Basketball? Just because you have given her the best makeover, a new wardrobe, and payed a handsome fellow from a faraway town a lot of money to take her out for a few dates, this now makes her more lovable in your eyes?
It's o.k….Make her feel special. I still say you're deceiving her and trying to make her into her sister. Her inner beauty deserves better than that man you just payed a ton of money to give her a pretend hug.
^ Tsao getting closer to the essence: only three words away from what would have been an absolutely magnificent post. Tsao, keep working on it, buddy: never, never, never, never give up.
Meanwhile Podunker wasted a ton of words to tell us he thinks IU is not a basketball "mecca". Because if he believed IU were a basketball "mecca" he wouldn't care too much about IU football (his words). But he does. So Podunker is busted.
Now please be quiet and let me follow IU Football.
As a young boy living in Bloomington, I witnessed first hand a major, but all too short turn-around in IU football during the late 60's. It was a magical time and when IU went to the Rose Bowl, I'd say it came close to generating the excitement amongst Hoosier fans that IU's trips to the final four have generated. The difference being that while we expected to win the basketball championships, we were simply hopeful that IU might win the Rose Bowl game. As I recall, IU basketball did not, by IU's high standards, achieve great success 1967, 1968 or 1969. And yet, IU football was on the rise.
Since I don't really understand the meaning of a basketball "mecca," I'm not going to argue whether IU is or is not one. Can there be more than one "mecca."
I believe IU is a great school, located in a great college town. I also believe that IU has a great and proud winning tradition in basketball. I believe IU can continue to be a dominant basketball program, going to the final four and winning more championships, while achieving success in football. If you don't believe that is possible, please post your arguments explaining why not.
IU football is two consecutive winning (and bowl bound) football seasons away from having a lot of Hoosier fans jump back on the football bandwagon, filling Memorial Stadium, and claiming that they've been huge football fans forever. I just hope I live to see the day.

Report: ASU athletic director Steve Patterson turned down offer with Texas
As first reported by Tyler Lockman of FoxSportsArizona.com and since confirmed by Arizona Sports 620, Arizona State athletic director Steve Patterson was offered the same position at the University of Texas, but he turned it down earlier this week.
Patterson received his undergraduate and law degrees at Texas, which will need a new AD after DeLoss Dodds steps down in August 2014. Dodds' annual salary is $1.1 million.
According to Lockman:
In September, Patterson received a 15-month contract extension through June 2018 and an $85,000 raise. In turning down Texas's overture, Patterson presumably passed on the chance to make significantly more than his current salary of $450,000.
A source told Fox Sports that Texas never extended a formal agreement to Patterson, but that he did meet with university representatives and could have taken the job if he so desired.
Having previously worked for the Houston Texans and Houston Rockets, Patterson joined Arizona State in July 2011 as the chief operating officer for the athletic department. He had a big role in the ASU's hiring of football coach Todd Graham that year. He then replaced Lisa Love as athletic director in March 28, 2012.
About Patterson's time at ASU, Lockman said:
Patterson has spearheaded a number of major projects at ASU, including Sun Devil Stadium renovation efforts, creation of the 425-acre sports facilities district to be built adjacent to ASU's campus and negotiations to move ASU baseball's home games to Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
Patterson was also lauded this year for standing up to Notre Dame when it tried to back out of a 2014 football game in Tempe.

Stabilizing Iraq:
An Assessment of the Security Situation
GAO-06-1094T: Published: Sep 11, 2006. Publicly Released: Sep 11, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8979
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
From fiscal years 2003 through 2006, U.S. government agencies have reported significant costs for U.S. stabilization and reconstruction efforts in Iraq. In addition, the United States currently has committed about 138,000 military personnel to the U.S.-led Multinational Force in Iraq (MNF-I). Over the past 3 years, worsening security conditions have made it difficult for the United States to achieve its goals in Iraq. In this statement, we discuss (1) the trends in the security environment in Iraq, and (2) progress in developing Iraqi security forces, as reported by the Departments of Defense (DOD) and State. We also present key questions for congressional oversight, including what political, economic, and security conditions must be achieved before the United States can draw down and withdraw? Why have security conditions continued to deteriorate even as Iraq has met political milestones, increased the number of trained and equipped forces, and increasingly assumed the lead for security? If existing U.S. political, economic, and security measures are not reducing violence in Iraq, what additional measures, if any, will the administration propose for stemming the violence?
Since June 2003, the overall security conditions in Iraq have deteriorated and grown more complex, as evidenced by increased numbers of attacks and Sunni/Shi'a sectarian strife, which has grown since the February 2006 bombing in Samarra. As shown in the figure below, attacks against the coalition and its Iraqi partners reached an all time high during July 2006. The deteriorating conditions threaten the progress of U.S. and international efforts to assist Iraq in the political and economic areas. In July 2006, the State Department reported that the recent upturn in violence has hindered efforts to engage with Iraqi partners and noted that a certain level of security was a prerequisite to accomplishing the political and economic conditions necessary for U.S. withdrawal. Moreover, the Sunni insurgency and Shi'a militias have contributed to growing sectarian strife that has resulted in increased numbers of Iraqi civilian deaths and displaced individuals. DOD uses three factors to measure progress in developing capable Iraqi security forces and transferring security responsibilities to the Iraqi government: (1) the number of trained and equipped forces, (2) the number of Iraqi army units and provincial governments that have assumed responsibility for security in specific geographic areas, and (3) the capabilities of operational units, as reported in unit-level and aggregate Transition Readiness Assessments (TRA). Although the State Department reported that the number of trained and equipped Iraqi security forces has increased, these numbers do not address their capabilities. As of August 2006, 115 Iraqi army units had assumed the lead for counterinsurgency operations in specific areas, and one province had assumed control for security. Unit-level TRA reports provide insight into the Iraqi army units' training, equipment, and logistical capabilities. GAO is working with DOD to obtain the unit-level TRA reports. Such information would inform the Congress on the capabilities and needs of Iraq's security forces.

To provide instruction for awarding competitive revision applications, which are requests from grantees for a significant expansion of a project's scope and for additional funds.
Grantees who want to expand their project's scope may request a revision (also known as a competitive revision or a competing supplement); however, they must submit an application, which must undergo peer review and be selected for funding. For more information on expanding scope, see What Constitutes a Change in Scope? in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
Investigators may apply for revisions only in response to a revision funding opportunity announcement (FOA) and only if the parent application has been funded. Revisions may not extend beyond that grant's project period.
*Note: In general, revision applications are not allowed for awards issued under a parent FOA with a single due date unless the revision FOA specifically states they are. Revision applications are generally allowed for awards issued under an investigator-initiated program announcement with multiple due dates. The revision FOA will define eligibility.
Also, revisions do no restore funds that were part of standard grant reductions.
See the Administrative Supplements to Grants and Cooperative Agreements SOP for adding funds to a grant or cooperative agreement for purposes that do not significantly expand a project's scope.

This is an illustration to chapter 12, verse 4 of the Book of Job: 'I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the Just upright man is laughed to scorn.' Job endures the mocking of his friends and the rebuke of his wife. Their attitude towards him reflects their impatience with Job's protestations of his innocence, despite the fact that God's punishment of him is an indication of his transgression. The other inscriptions in the margins are statements Job made to his God and which are found elsewhere in the Book of Job.

the "no lifting" rule & your other kids?
DH & ME est. 3-13-10
Another baby GiRL<3 4-1-14
I'm pretty sure the weight limit is 50 lbs...I think. But either way, I will continue to lift my kids whenever they want until it becomes too uncomfortable. Which trust me, at the end, it does. Unless you are really high risk and having issues with PTL, you should be fine.
Now the flying leaps onto my belly that DS finds hilarious? Probably going to have to stop.

I want to have kids until my uterus falls out...then become a librarian.
I thought it was OK to lift things during early pregnancy, unless you've been put under special restrictions by your doctor. As far as I know, being careful when lifting, even when pregnant, is more about protecting your back than anything else. When you get bigger, your ligaments loosen and your center of gravity shifts, so you have to be extra careful. I don't plan to stop lifting my daughter, at least not anytime soon. I'm thinking I'll wear her on my back in the Ergo when my belly starts to get big.
I liffted my other kids during my pregnancies. Never had an issue. :)

I have a 29lb 18 month old and he needs to be carried quite a bit - I try to avoid it when at all possible but I still carry & lift him A LOT. I asked my Doctor and she said to avoid it, especially in the first trimester; however, that's certainly not the consensus from other doctors that I have read the opinions of.

A day of sunshine fuelled electronic sounds. Born as a series of 15 underground club events almost two years ago, Found was amongst those pioneering the melting pot of sub genres that came to define the re-birth of house and techno in the capital and London's love for all things electronic.?? Pushing this ethos forward, Saturday 15th June sees five of the most discerning club brands in the big smoke fuse their distinct musical roots.
Joining forces to curate a cross-section of the finest talent from across the UK, Europe and further afield, these stellar promoters have programmed their own stages with a diverse pool of artists.
Unified by a love of four-to-the-floor and influenced by musical movements forged in the likes of Berlin, Chicago, Detroit, in New York and here on our own doorstep, this selection of acts promises nothing more than a blend of some truly exciting DJs and producers.
Whether making waves in their respective scenes or sitting at the top of their game, this program of artists celebrates genuinely talented craftsmen with a shared passion and devotion to sound.
Accompanying this eclectic line-up offering will be a hand-picked list of mouth watering foods - a nod to London's street food revolution that alongside electronic music, has played a seminal role in the city's cultural development in recent years.

Here's a look back to 1975.....
"AT AGE 12 - David Probably Youngest Ham Operator In State (South Carolina)"
His interest in ham radio developed from earlier experiences with walkie-talkies and citizen's band radio. Bill Allen of Anderson helped him learn Morse code and study ham radio theory. "I wanted to hear somebody and just talk to them, with no wires or anything," David said about the beginning of his interest in ham radio.
David is not sure if he is the youngest ham radio operator in the state, since the Federal Communications Commission does not require their ages printed on their licenses. He feels he is definitely the youngest "ham" in the Anderson Radio Club.
In order to operate his ham radio, David had to meet FCC requirements for a Novice license. To qualify, he had to be able to send and receive 5 words per minute in Morse code, in the presence of a licensed ham radio operator and a witness over the age of 21.
After establishing his ability to use code, he had to take the FCC written test, administered by a licensed ham radio operator, again, in the presence of a witness 21 years of age or older. David's test consisted of 20 questions. He received his Novice license on July 3, 1975.
A Novice license entitles David to send and receive messages in Morse code. Although he can hear others talk, he is not allowed to speak over the air until he earns his General license, which he hopes to do around the first of the year. He now sends and receives 11 words per minute, and is attending a code class in Anderson. To obtain his General license, David will have to take an FCC test in Atlanta.
With money he received for Christmas, David purchased his ham radio equipment. He got it second-hand from a friend for $110, without an antenna.
David is able to handle some of his own repairs. "If I can find out what's wrong, I can fix it," the young operator remarked. He has some test equipment for pinpointing the technical problems.
David tries to work with his radio every day. To begin a communication, he taps out "CQ" – calling all amateurs. Anyone who hears may respond and David quickly writes down each coded numbers or letter of the alphabet as he receives it.
Answers may come from down the street, or from another continent. One of David's most interesting communications was with a ham radio operator in Burnsville, NC. The operator told David about a 70 ft. motorized tower constructed by a friend of the Burnsville "ham."
David has exchanged messages with ham radio operators as far away as Mesa, CA, and Humacao, Puerto Rico. He is working toward a certificate from the American Radio Relay League, which is awarded to a "ham" who has communicated with operators in all 50 states. To prove that they have communicated, operators exchange QSL cards by mail. These cards bear the address and call number of the operator.
So far, David has reached 10 states and Puerto Rico. The American Radio Relay League also gives awards to "hams" who communicate with 100 countries, and to those who reach all the continents. Generally, beginning ham radio operators try first for the 50 state certificate, David said.
Ham radio is a non-profit venture. David is not allowed to play records or attempt to sell anything over the air. Ham radio operators can, however, assist in emergency situations. David explained that some "hams" work with Civil Defense. These operators, among other things, are instrumental in alerting citizens to threatening weather conditions, such as tornadoes. Ham radio operators can also be helpful in getting emergency medical aid to people in crisis situations. "Amateur radios save a lot of lives. If somebody calls an SOS, and I'm listening, I'll try to do something," David said.
A 7th grader at Palmetto Middle School, David is the son of Rev. and Mrs. C. Ellis Edmonds. His father is pastor of Beaverdam Baptist Church. David has one brother, Bill, age 15.
Some of David's other interests are sports, playing the trumpet in the Palmetto band, and collections, particularly of objects that are old. He hopes to go into communication engineering in the future.
About her son's hobby, Mrs. Edmonds said, "I think it's fascinating. The first night he got on it was unbelievable. This activates the mind – we're proud he got into this kind of hobby."
David finds his hobby exciting, commenting, "Amateur radio can talk all over the world." and "I've got a whole bunch of friends, already."

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court says corporations can hold religious objections that allow them to opt out of the new health law requirement that they cover contraceptives for women.
The justices' 5-4 decision Monday is the first time that the high court has ruled that profit-seeking businesses can hold religious views under federal law. And it means the Obama administration must search for a different way of providing free contraception to women who are covered under objecting companies' health insurance plans.
Contraception is among a range of preventive services that must be provided at no extra charge under the health care law that President Barack Obama signed in 2010 and the Supreme Court upheld two years later.
Two years ago, Chief Justice John Roberts cast the pivotal vote that saved the health care law in the midst of Obama's campaign for re-election.
On Monday, dealing with a small sliver of the law, Roberts sided with the four justices who would have struck down the law in its entirety.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion. The court's four liberal justices dissented.
The court stressed that its ruling applies only to corporations that are under the control of just a few people in which there is no essential difference between the business and its owners.
Alito also said the decision is limited to contraceptives under the health care law. "Our decision should not be understood to hold that an insurance-coverage mandate must necessarily fall if it conflicts with an employer's religious beliefs," Alito said.
The administration said a victory for the companies would prevent women who work for them from making decisions about birth control based on what's best for their health, not whether they can afford it. The government's supporters pointed to research showing that nearly one-third of women would change their contraceptive if cost were not an issue; a very effective means of birth control, the intrauterine device, can cost up to $1,000.
The contraceptives at issue before the court were the emergency contraceptives Plan B and ella, and two IUDs.
Nearly 50 businesses have sued over covering contraceptives. Some, like those involved in the Supreme Court case, are willing to cover most methods of contraception, as long as they can exclude drugs or devices that the government says may work after an egg has been fertilized. Other companies object to paying for any form of birth control.
There are separate lawsuits challenging the contraception provision from religiously affiliated hospitals, colleges and charities.
A survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation found 85 percent of large American employers already had offered such coverage before the health care law required it.
It is unclear how many women potentially are affected by the high court ruling. The Hobby Lobby chain of arts-and-crafts stores is by far the largest employer of any company that has gone to court to fight the birth control provision.
Oklahoma City-based Hobby Lobby has more than 15,000 full-time employees in more than 600 crafts stores in 41 states. The Greens are evangelical Christians who also own Mardel, a Christian bookstore chain.
The other company is Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. of East Earl, Pa., owned by a Mennonite family and employing 950 people in making wood cabinets.

Wise, Virginia - UVa-Wise avenged an early season loss to Alice Lloyd on Tuesday as Kristin Mullins scored 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead the host Cavaliers to a 77-55 non-conference victory.
Visiting Alice Lloyd had a hard time finding the bottom of the basket inside the Convocation Center by connecting on just 26 percent of its attempted field goals; meanwhile, UVa-Wise hit nearly 47 percent of its shot attempts to avenge a 56-51 loss in Pippa Passes on December, 6th.
UVa-Wise assumed its first lead of the game at the 16:23 mark of the first half when Amber Carter turned a steal into a layup giving the Cavs a 6-5 lead. Carter's layup was the start of a 13-3 UVa-Wise run that saw Mullins, Chelsea Cluesman, Charlotte Reasor, and Ayla Young score.
Alice Lloyd would see the game continue to slip away over the remainder of the opening half; Mullins secured an offensive rebound and scored seconds before the first half horn to give UVa-Wise a 34-21 halftime lead. The bucket by Mullins capped a first half that saw the senior score 11 of her team high 18 points, the Clintwood, Virginia native also grabbed five rebounds in the opening half. The first half defensive performance was one of the strongest of the season for the Cavs as the Eagles made just six first half buckets on 34 attempts to shoot 17.6 percent from the floor.
Alice Lloyd improved to nine made buckets in the final period but were unable to reduce the lead to single digits. Cluesman enjoyed a strong second half by scoring 11 points and grabbing eight rebounds to finish with 17 points and 12 rebounds in the win. The double-double was the 11 of the season for the Jonseville, Virginia native, the 11 double-doubles leads the Mid-South Conference. Senior Amber Carter also scored in double figures for UVa-Wise by finishing with 10 points; Carter also posted seven assists, four steals, and three rebounds.
Alice Lloyd's Ariel Nickel led all scorers with 22 points on six of 23 shooting while Carla McDaniel scored 12 points off the bench for the Eagles. The victory improves UVa-Wise to 4-14 on the season while Alice Lloyd drops to 5-16. The Cavaliers will return to action on Saturday as they return to Mid-South action for a 2:00 p.m. tip against the University of Pikeville inside the Convocation Center.

Definition of frugivore in English:
An animal that feeds on fruit.
Example sentences
- Second, I review the scanty literature on whether vertebrate frugivores prefer fruits with presumably higher levels of ethanol over conspecific fruits with presumably lower levels of ethanol.
- However, because of the great variety of microorganisms present in fruit, the associated effects on the interactions between vertebrate frugivores and fruiting plants may also be highly variable.
- During the late Cretaceous and early Paleocene periods plant-eating mammals were frugivores, presumably because fruit can be more easily processed than foliage.

The Fleury-Murray watch in Pittsburgh is on
This post is part of Pittsburgh Penguins day at PHT…
After a spring and early summer filled with speculation, Marc-Andre Fleury is heading back to where he's always been — Pittsburgh.
But while his city stays the same, the circumstances are more different than ever.
It's still not 100 percent official what in capacity Fleury will report to camp next month, though logic suggests that — after watching Matt Murray backstop the club to the Stanley Cup in June — Fleury will enter the season as Murray's No. 2.
But he wants to be the No. 1.
"I love Pittsburgh, and the Penguins are my team; I want to stay with them for the rest of my career," Fleury said this summer, per NHL.com. "I had some good conversations with management after the season. Nothing is written in stone. I want to come to camp ready to win my job back.
"I have to get back to the same level of play and help the team, win games."
The Fleury-Murray dynamic is complex, to say the least.
A few angles to consider:
— For as good as Murray was last year, he's still only 22 years old with just 13 career regular season games on his resume. It's a remarkably small body of work, and there's always the looming specter of a sophomore slump.
— There's also the looming specter of Fleury, who's clearly gunning for Murray's job.
— Next year's expansion draft is a fly in Pittsburgh's ointment. The way things stand now, they'd be forced to protect Fleury because of his no-movement clause, which would force them to expose Murray.
— No chance that scenario plays out, so Fleury and the remainder of his four-year, $23 million contract will (theoretically) be on the move at some point.
— Calgary reportedly made calls about Fleury's availability earlier this summer, prior to trading for Brian Elliott at the draft. But the Elliott acquisition might not close the door completely. The former Blues netminder is heading into the final year of his contract, and there's been no word from Flames GM Brad Treliving about an extension. Elliott could be a one-year stopgap solution, especially if he doesn't perform.
— Pens GM Jim Rutherford has been artful in dodging queries about Fleury's future with the team, dating all the way back to last year's playoffs. He was at it again prior to the draft, saying he would "like to start next year with both goalies." The key part there, obviously, is "start." Nothing about both finishing the year as Penguins.
While this situation doesn't figure to derail Pittsburgh's championship defense — as Rutherford pointed out this summer, having two good goalies is a good problem to have — it will be a constant source of speculation and banter until a solution is found.
So yeah, the Fleury-Murray watch is on. The question now is how long it'll last.
Poll: Are the Pens poised to repeat?
This post is part of Pittsburgh Penguins day at PHT…
By now you know the statistic, but here's a refresher anyway.
The NHL hasn't had a back-to-back Stanley Cup winner since Detroit turned the trick in '97-98, and hasn't seen a reigning champ return to the Final since Detroit turned the trick in '08-09.
Doing it once is tough. Doing it twice has become nearly impossible.
In fact, winning the Stanley Cup in recent years has, more often that not, paved the way for an extremely difficult encore. Chicago won it all in 2015, and was bounced in the opening round last year. L.A. hoisted Lord Stanley's mug in '14, and missed the postseason entirely in '15.
Which brings us to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
On paper, this year's Pens are a virtual carbon copy of the club that won the Cup in June. Their most noteworthy departures were defenseman Ben Lovejoy (off to join former Pens GM Ray Shero in New Jersey) and third-string netminder Jeff Zatkoff, who signed in L.A.
And that's it.
Everyone else is back.
Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang are back. The HBK line is back. Both goalies, Matt Murray and Marc-Andre Fleury, are back. Even the depth guys that some weren't sure the Pens could afford — Justin Schultz and Matt Cullen — are back.
Head coach Mike Sullivan and his staff are back, and reigning GM of the Year Jim Rutherford is back.
At first glance, this would make Pittsburgh a likely candidate to "do the Detroit" (as outlined above, in either scenario). But the NHL is fickle, and a grind — and it'll be curious to see what that does to a Pens team coming off an extremely long season, with six players set to participate in the World Cup of Hockey.
Anyway, go have a vote:
It's Pittsburgh Penguins day at PHT
It's been a summer of celebration for the Pittsburgh Penguins. They enter the upcoming season as the defending Stanley Cup champs.
The Stanley Cup made its way to the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children in a heart-warming visit from Phil Kessel. Bryan Rust was photographed cuddling with hockey's silver chalice, because, why not? Jim Rutherford was named the GM of the year when the end-of-season awards were handed out.
All of it a reward for a Penguins team that was struggling in the Eastern Conference before a mid-season coaching change. And shortly after Mike Sullivan took over behind the bench, the Penguins took over the conference, rolling to a championship.
This summer, the Penguins made their pitch to land coveted college free agent Jimmy Vesey, with Sidney Crosby reportedly reaching out to the 2016 Hobey Baker Award winner. Pittsburgh, like many other teams, was ultimately unsuccessful in its quest, as Vesey signed with the Rangers.
The Penguins did sign another college free agent, forward Thomas DiPauli, on a two-year entry-level contract.
They also re-signed forward Matt Cullen to a one-year, $1 million deal. Defenseman Tim Erixon re-signed to a one-year, two-way contract worth $575,000 in the NHL. Justin Schultz, who initially didn't receive a qualifying offer from the Penguins, making him an unrestricted free agent, eventually re-signed in Pittsburgh and that could give Derrick Pouliot, another young blue liner, some stiff competition when the season opens up.
A Stanley Cup victory did not come easy. The Penguins came out of the playoffs with injuries to several players, including Kessel, who underwent hand surgery.
But Rutherford is confident all the injured players — The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review listed Trevor Daley (ankle), Kris Letang (foot), Nick Bonino (elbow infection), Rust (hand), Patric Hornqvist (hand) and Evgeni Malkin (elbow) as those on the road to recovery this offseason — should be ready for the opening of training camp.
The Penguins could also have a competition in the crease.
Matt Murray, who turned 22 years old in May, backstopped the Penguins to their championship. But Marc-Andre Fleury, 31, would like the opportunity to regain his old No. 1 spot.
Capitals have big plans for Dmitry Orlov, but there is just one problem . . .
Dmitry Orlov is still without a contract for the upcoming season.
A restricted free agent, the 25-year-old defenseman had eight goals and 29 points last season, while making $2.25 million in salary for the season, as per General Fanager. His previous two-year contract had an annual cap hit of $2 million. But with training camps approaching, he remains unsigned for right now.
As noted before, there is a cap crunch for the Capitals heading into the new season. Orlov is the only RFA left for the Capitals to re-sign.
According to generalfanager.com, Washington has $3.4 million in salary cap space left, but to allow for in-season roster flexibility or a 14th forward, the Capitals have around $2.6 million to devote to re-signing Orlov.
Still, despite that fact, the Capitals coaching staff has big plans for Orlov for the upcoming season.
"I envision him playing with a [Matt] Niskanen or a [John] Carlson, probably more prime minutes as we try even out our defense a little bit in terms of [workload]," said Capitals head coach Barry Trotz, as per CSN Mid-Atlantic.
"It's a great opportunity for him. He's at the right age where he can really contribute. We'll look for his contributions on the power play, the penalty kill, playing in that top-4 on a pretty regular basis. I just think it's right for him."

Get dirty, have fun and grow more food with great gardening tips from real-life gardeners.
By Megan Phelps
fall gardening, grass clippings, mulch, soil, composting
It's easy to overlook how useful grass clippings can be, but early fall is a great time to collect this valuable 'yard waste' to use in your garden as mulch.
That's because as the weather cools, the grass starts growing faster and needs more frequent mowing. Sure, you could bag all these clippings and set them out to be hauled away with your trash. But why let them go to waste? A much better use is to put them in your garden as mulch. And don't stop with grass clippings — shredded leaves make great mulch, too.
Not only does this all-natural mulch help suppress weeds and retain moisture, but as it slowly breaks down it will naturally enrich your garden soil. Mulch is so valuable for your garden that you might even consider collecting unwanted yard waste from friends and neighbors — anything beyond your immediate needs can go into the compost pile. (Just be sure not to use grass clippings from chemically treated lawns. You don't want to introduce herbicide residue into your garden because it's harmful to your plants.)
For more about how and why to start using grass clippings in your garden and yard instead of throwing them away, check out this helpful information on recycling grass clippings from the Virginia Cooperative Extension. Or for more tips on composting your yard waste, check out the Mother Earth News article, Composting Made Easy.

Limited Edition Stay Puft 'Ghostbusters' LP Release Smells Like Marshmallows
Posted on Monday, October 13th, 2014 by Germain Lussier
The 30th anniversary of Ghostbusters seemingly reached its climax last week when a new film was finally announced. And while the news was not what most expected to hear, the timing couldn't have been better. All year, fans had been celebrating the 1984 comedy classic with art shows, events, screenings, donuts and more. A new movie, reboot or not, seemed like perfect cherry on top.
Now it looks like we're putting some marshmallow on top of that cherry. A brand new Stay Puft Ghostbusters vinyl has been revealed that not only looks, but also smells like marshmallows. The deluxe double-12″ single set also includes some cool lenticular images, two songs and more. The limited edition release is now available for pre-order. Read more below. Read More »

Pachter: The Old Republic could net 50m players with free-to-play switch

Wedbush Securities thinks that this is a great idea, and is encouraging investors to buy up stock in EA while they can still get in at a decent price. GamesIndustry International reports that EA's stock currently sits at $11.68 per share, but Wedbush gives the company a twelve-month target of $29.

LONDON (AP) - A senior British counterterrorism detective has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for trying to sell information to Rupert Murdoch's News of the World tabloid.
Detective Chief Inspector April Casburn, 53, was the first person convicted on charges related to Britain's phone-hacking scandal since a police investigation was reopened in early 2011.
She was found guilty last month of misconduct for phoning the tabloid and offering to pass on information about whether London's police force would reopen its stalled phone-hacking investigation.
Casburn, who managed the Metropolitan Police terrorist financing investigation unit, was sentenced Friday at London's Old Bailey criminal court.
Britain's phone-hacking scandal led to dozens of arrests. It involved allegations of illegal snooping on celebrities, crime victims, politicians and others.

SPORTS PEOPLE: COLLEGE BASKETBALL; Sanctions at Purdue
Published: February 24, 1995
The Purdue women's basketball coach, LIN DUNN, and her assistant, MaCHELLE JOSEPH, are prohibited from recruiting until May 15 as part of sanctions placed on the program by the N.C.A.A. The National Collegiate Athletic Association Committee on Infractions yesterday cited the program for secondary infractions of recruiting regulations.
A secondary violation is one that "provides only a limited recruiting or competitive advantage and is isolated or inadvertent in nature," according to the N.C.A.A. The infractions included things like providing soft drinks and fast-food meals for players. (AP)
