- Arsenal draw Besiktas in Champions League draw
- See the play-off draw in full
- Celtic restored to draw after Legia Warsaw error
Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of the UEFA Champions League and Europa League draws.
The main attraction in the first draw – which starts at 11am, pending Gianni Infantino getting out of bed on time – will be Arsenal, who will discover the identity of their play-off round opponents.
We'll talk you through the seedings in good time, before bringing you every fixture just as soon as it is drawn out of the hat.
Don't touch that dial.
You can almost feel the excitement in the corridors of power... which are oddly empty:

Red-hot Champions League news coming in now.
Celtic have been handed a Champions League reprieve after Legia Warsaw were punished for fielding an ineligible player.
The Bhoys' European dreams were in tatters after a 6-1 aggregate defeat to the Poles earlier this week.
But they have been handed a get out of jail free card by UEFA after they were awarded a 3-0 default win the away leg.
That ensured a 4-4 draw on aggregate meaning Ronnie Deila's men progressed to the next qualifying round.
They will now join Arsenal in the hat at the draw in Nyon later today.
The Champions League play-off draw is split into two groups: The Champions Route and the League Route. The former is, as you may have surmised, made up of league champions from various leagues around the continent, while the latter includes runners-up, mainly from the bigger-hitting countries.
Within each of those groups there are seeded and unseeded sides:
League route
Seeded: Arsenal, Porto, Zenit St Petersburg, Bayer Leverkusen, Napoli
Unseeded: Athletic Bilbao, Lille, FC Copenhagen, Standard Liege, Besiktas
Champions route
Seeded: Red Bull Salzburg, Steaua Bucharest, APOEL, BATE Borisov, Ludogorets
Unseeded: Maribor, Celtic, Slovan Bratislava, Malmo, AaB
Arsenal, then, will face one of five opponents: Bilbao, Besiktas, Lille, FC Copenhagen or Standard Liege.
You imagine that Arsene Wenger would prefer to face one of the latter two, although of course, as they say, they are no easy games in Europe's biggest competition. (There are, of course.)
Our man Ben Burrows has run the rule over all five of those sides, picking out their key player and other information Gunners fans need to know. Read it here.
Confirmation of that Celtic news. What a stroke of luck for the Scottish champions.
Legia have been sanctioned for fielding an ineligible player, meaning Celtic take their place in today's #UCLdraw.— Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) August 8, 2014
The Champions League draw isn't the only big football-related meeting taking place in Switzerland today.
Luis Suarez has arrived in Lausanne for his appeal against a four-month bite ban - with his lawyers confident of having it reduced.
The Uruguayan is contesting the penalty, dished out last month after the striker bit Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's 1-0 win on June 24 in this summer's World Cup, at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Lawyers representing the Barcelona man are confident of having the ban cut in half to two months, while they are also hoping he can train with his new side between now and then.
Thrilling detail on the draw on the UEFA website here:
"Balls containing the seeded teams will be placed in one bowl, with balls for the unseeded clubs positioned in another. A ball will be taken from each bowl and placed in a large empty bowl in the middle, where they will be shuffled."
OK, so proceedings are underway in Nyon. Does that even exist as a place outside of UEFA draws?
Gianni Infantino – of course – gets us underway with a little speech about how awesome the Champions League is, before introducing a snazzy video of European capitals and Cristiano Ronaldo goals. Or so it felt like.
The draw will be coming right up after all this bureaucratic stuff is out of the way.
They're still explaining how it works. Come on, guys! We're getting anxious!
Well this is amazing:
Some old CD cases seem to be part of UEFA's hi-tech approach to deciding how the CL draw should turn out. pic.twitter.com/pI5k7py49F— Jim Boardman (@JimBoardman) August 8, 2014
The first fixture out of the hat is... (drum roll please):
Maribor vs Celtic!
Decent draw for the Scottish champions against the Slovenians, there.
Next up:
Red Bull Salzburg vs Malmo
The big one!
I'll put three in this update, purely in the hope that this live blog doesn't slip out of Google (yes, we have to concern ourselves with such fripperies, sadly):
Aalborg vs APOEL
Steaua Bucharest vs Ludogorets
Slovan Bratislava vs BATE Borisov
HUGE fixtures, one and all. In a way.
Here we go with the League Route, which features Arsenal and all the other teams you've actually heard of.
Don't touch that dial or whatever it is you use to control your computer of choice.
The first balls come out of the bowl:
Besiktas vs Arsenal!
Tough trip to Turkey on the horizon for the Gunners, then.
Next up:
Standard Liege vs Zenit St Petersburg
Andre Villas-Boas will be pleased with that, you'd think.
And another one out of the bowl:
FC Copenhagen vs Bayer Leverkusen
The penultimate fixture in the League Route is:
Lille vs Porto
Salomon Kalou et al face a tough task there.
And finally:
Napoli vs Atletic Bilbao
Possibly the fixture of the round, that.

By BRANDON RICHARDSON
There aren't too many times that a football team gets to extract revenge but, the Mill Creek High School football team got its turn against the Broncos of Brookwood High School last Friday night. They defeated BHS 56-21 in the second round of the state playoffs. The Hawks fell 31-21 to Brookwood during the regular season and Head Coach Shannon Jarvis believes his team has matured since the loss.
"[Brookwood] was better than us at that point. Our kids have grown in confidence as the year has progressed," said Jarvis.
The Broncos are the defending champions from two seasons ago but had a hard time finding pay dirt against a sting Mill Creek defense. The Hawks knew what they were up against when they challenged the Broncos the first time around and they made the necessary adjustments to move on to the next round in the playoffs.
"Brookwood's a very, very good football team and a great program. When we first opened, there [are] a lot of things they do that I tried to emulate here at Mill Creek," said Jarvis.
The MCHS defense struggled to stop the Bronco offense early on. North Carolina State University commit Ky Priester caught a 35-yard touchdown pass on the drive. MCHS responded with a 60-yard touchdown pass from Daniel David to wide receiver Michael Cheeks for 60 yards. The Bronco offense scored on the following drive but, David responded with a touchdown run of his own tying the game at 14.
"They made some big plays on the first two drives. We knew we had to stop [Priester] and start to get a great pass rush," said Jarvis.
The MCHS defense wouldn't struggle for long, forcing the Bronco offense to punt on the following drive. Running back Jacorey Lewis began to make his impact on the game. His first carry of the drive went for 28 yards and his eighth of the drive was a 16-yard touchdown run.
University of South Carolina commit and star defensive tackle Kelsey Griffin recovered a Brookwood fumble and David capped things off by scrambling 24 yards to the end zone for his second rushing touchdown on the night.
The MCHS defense continued to take control with an interception on the next drive and Mill Creek responded with their third touchdown in less than three minutes. Up by 21, defensive back Zac Turner provided MCHS with their second straight interception and third straight turnover. A 1-yard sneak by David would be his third rushing touchdown on the night. That score extended the Hawks lead to 42 – 14.
"The turnovers really hurt them. I told our kids whoever makes the most plays wins and our kids made the plays. They made play after play on both sides of the ball," said Jarvis.
Lewis rushed for 195 yards in the half along with two rushing touchdowns. David provided the other four touchdowns in the half as the offense went a perfect 6-for-6 in the half.
The Hawks received the ball to begin the second half and continued to be perfect on offense. Lewis carried the ball on eight straight plays resulting in his third touchdown on the night. The MCHS defense continued their dominance with an interception on their first play of the half.
The Hawks saw a comfortable lead in the second that allowed them to rest the veterans and send in the other half of the troops.
Lewis finished the game with 255 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns giving him 46 rushing touchdowns in his career.
"Jacorey did another great job. Our offensive line had another great game. Offensively, we are very pleased. I'm extremely proud of every facet of the game. Our kicking game, defense, [and] offense, I'm just proud of our kid's physicality tonight," said Jarvis.
Mill Creek will play at North Cobb tonight at 7:30.

There are more than 8 million stories in the naked swamps and forests of Florida. This is one of the absurdly ridiculous.
It hardly comes as a revelation that if you schlepped around the state's waterways and woodlands, you would invariably stumble on the remnants of our original native American forebears and find no shortage of arrowheads.
Since homeland security was somewhat problematic, not to mention all manner of beasts who viewed Florida's settlers as snacks, our ancestors were cranking out arrowheads faster than aluminum can pop-tops. Think of this as Florida's first iteration of Stand Your Ground.
Yet two years ago the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission launched a $130,000 undercover sting to round up 14 desperados who have been charged with more than 400 felonies linked to looting the state's ancient artifacts.
That sounds nefarious, doesn't it?
Except in this Confederacy of Pilferers plot, the booty collected by the suspects was of marginal value. Indeed, as the Tampa Bay Times' Ben Montgomery reported, the state of Florida, which already has some 500,000 artifacts in its historic archives, has declined to accept another 10,700 pieces of antiquities found by 150 divers in the state's rivers.
In one case, a defendant allegedly sold a box of about 90 assorted artifacts to an undercover agent for a grand total of $100 — not quite Pablo Escobar territory.
That didn't stop FWC gendarmes decked out in body armor and wielding tactical weapons from descending on the 14 suspects, many of whom had clean criminal records, as Operation Timucua unfolded. Might this dragnet have been better dubbed Operation Overblown?
No one would argue that it is important to protect Florida's fragile ecosystem and its history from those would who would rape the landscape for greedy motives. But the Timucua 14 were hardly the Medellin Cartel of flint rock. It's not as if these folks were conducting Florida panther hunts or feasting on bald eagle foie gras.
The case against the alleged looters was made murkier by Florida's vague language about what constitutes a legally obtained artifact as opposed to contraband.
In 1996, the state created the Isolated Finds Program. It allowed collectors to legally remove items from rivers based on the theory that something embedded in a waterway had quite likely been dislodged from its original location and its archeological significance had been compromised.
Many of those charged by FWC had participated in the Isolated Funds Program until it was discontinued in 2005. The defendants continue to claim whatever artifacts they possessed were obtained from rivers or acquired at artifact shows.
The FWC, even after its two-year long undercover operation, was not able to produce evidence the defendants ever dug into a state archeological site to obtain any ill-gotten artifacts. Yet several defendants are looking at substantial prison time — mostly for starring in a low-rent version of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Looney Tunes.
To whatever extent these 14 men broke state law many of them didn't even realize they were violating, fining the defendants, imposing community service and warning them to knock it off would have satisfied the interests of justice.
After all, this isn't exactly a bunch of Bernie Madoffs of relics here. Consider this scenario: one of the Timucua 14 winds up in the slammer and finds himself sharing a cell block with serial killers, rapists, child molesters, drug dealers and bank robbers when one of them asks: "So, what are you in for?"
Hot arrowheads and felonious possession of a fossil. Really?
To round up the wild antiquities bunch, the FWC spent $130,000 over two years involving undercover operatives, secret recordings, SWAT team-style raids, heavy weaponry, dangling handcuffs and hundreds of criminal counts.
The criminal charges have led to seized property, mounting legal fees, a divorce and in the case of artifacts collector William Barton of Leon County, who wasn't even charged in the investigation but feared he would be: a suicide.
Protecting nature and preserving history, especially in Florida, is a delicate balancing act between competing interests. The same might be said of justice. Breaking a law is not necessarily the same thing as criminality. It's a concept embodied by Themis, the Greek goddess holding the scales of justice — an image of compassion and fairness as old as antiquity.

Tautology Machine
A model or definition so complex and wide that it can be bent to fit just about any observation made. It makes science difficult because something so bendable can be made to fit any observation made. While it may be useful for making predictions of known and yet-to-be-discovered phenomena (
), it does not necessarily help reveal the underlying mechanisms. This is because the actual underlying mechanism may be simpler or different than the
's model.
has been accused of this, as has creationism.
See also
A model or definition or theory isn't flawed simply because it covers a lot of ground or happens to be 'complex'. A 'unifying theory of everything' is actively sought by scientists with high hopes and aspirations for models that cover every observation on this universe. Beyond our universe, 'Math', 'Logic', and 'Philosophy' operate with intent to cover just about everything else... though they are, in practice, limited to the computable.
In Science,
a theory or model can be rejected as incorrect if (and only if) it either (1) does not make any falsifiable predictions or (2) makes a prediction that is falsified or (3) makes contradictory predictions. A model that doesn't make predictions fails on the first aspect. Now, just because a theory isn't rejected doesn't mean it's accepted, either... for example, simpler models are preferred, so when scientists have a choice between two models that make the same predictions, they pick the simpler one. Einstein summed this approach up with: as simple as possible, but no simpler. Models that are too simple ought to be rejected, and models that are unnecessarily complex oughtn't be accepted.
Certain of the more general models of unified string theory do fail on item (3), and many religious 'explanations' for our existence fail on item (1). These fail as models without resorting to the concept of '
How does creationism fail by itself? "Supernatural" is often cited, but that is a relative concept. If we are a computer simulation, then the simulation programmer is supernatual from our perspective. And although it may not answer "original complexity" (who made god?), that may not be necessary to claim creation, as a simulator or Monsanto example would illustrate. Parsimony is the best reason for rejection of a creator(s).
Creationism fails item (1): it does not make any falsifiable predictions. Therefore it cannot be a scientific model. Remember that the above is about models
In Science
. And 'Parsimony' isn't a 'best reason' for rejecting anything, ever.
Of course, everything I've said is ignoring the whole useful/useless aspect... informally, a useful model makes predictions that can help the user make money (or provides something else of inherent value), whether that be by aiding one in improving efficiency or reducing waste or creating entirely new products. One should note that a theory or model needn't be 'correct' to be 'useful'... for (a tongue in cheek) example, the AtkinsDiet
- if the theory helps you sell a few million books, what does it matter if it is actually any good? More seriously, though, even a provably flawed model can still be 'useful' so long as it failed on number (2): makes a falsified prediction. For example, while several of Newton's models for motion fail at the extremely high 'relative' speeds, they've proven quite sufficient to the tasks of calculating motion in the vast majority of observable events, making it a fine, didactic example of a
. (Some people might say that ALL scientific models are
s, but they'd oft be incorrect; by the most accepted definition of the word 'lie', it's only a 'lie' if you know it's untrue when you utter it.)
In Math (and formally computed Philosophies and Logics)
, theories and models are fully disassociated from empirical observation upon the real world. Instead, theories have their own, personal universe, constructed from a finite set of axioms (given truths). In any 'useful' mathematical theory, there will be rules (among those axioms) that allow the discovery of 'new' truths from other 'known' truths. The computational process of actually applying these rules is known as 'inference', and a (formal) description of the known valid rules applied to move from known truths to a particular statement is called a 'proof' of that statement. One should note that 'new' truths may also exist in the form of rules that take other truths and produce new ones, just like the primitive rules axioms - this allows for the production of 'domain-specific' models
a mathematical model.
Because Mathematical/Philosophical/Logic models and theories are completely disassociated from empirical input, they can only be rejected if they violate item (3) of the Scientific Model list, and make
statements. If you do manage to produce a contradiction, it means the theory or model is 'inconsistent' -- i.e. you've just proven that 'true' is the same as 'false', and therefore all 'false' things are 'true' and, similarly, that all 'true' things are 'false'. Thus, proof of even one single contradiction is sufficient to
completely reject
the model or theory. You don't even get to call it a
Goedel's Incompleteness Theorem
(because so many smart people still get confused): A
formed by following production rules in axioms is not the same as a
, the difference being implicit order in computation. By the time you get to a prediction,
you already have a proof
- a description of the known valid rules you applied to get there. You just need to remember your steps. However, with a 'decision', you're offering a statement and demanding a proof (or a disproof - a proof of the negation). In any sufficiently complex system, it will be possible to construct a statement such that, given finite time, it is not possible to find a proof or disproof of that statement. These statements are called 'undecidable'.
What Goedel did that is so amazing is he proved that, given
finite axiomatization on the natural numbers and their arithmetic, it is
possible to construct a statement that is true but undecidable. More generally, since all axiomatizations must (in practice) be finite, all mathematical theories are 'incomplete' (at least if they are sufficiently complex to express Peano arithmetic). There will always be truths they cannot discover. I'm not sure whether that conclusion excites most mathematicians or exhausts them. What it does mean is that they'll never be out of work... there will always, always, always be more fundamental truths to find, and new axioms to play with.
On the
: It is worth noting that a set of axioms can be quite arbitrary, and that not all axiomatizations are of equal 'value' in the more economic sense. 'Usefulness' has just about the same meaning for mathematical theories as it does for scientific ones: a theory is useful if it helps you make money (or provides you something else of inherent value). This, of course, requires attaching math to reality by some mechanism or another... to
one's mathematical theories and models. The usual means of attaching the two is directly through science: 'hard' scientific theories are formulated within a mathematics model that allows one to plug measurement-values in one side and (via application of rules or a search for a proof) make a decision or provide an answer that (if the scientific theory is any good) will also be true - that is, true as empirically observed and measured.
Some interesting directions mathematical theory has been taking over the last century years or so is in the modeling of mathematical models, theories of inference systems, computation systems, communicating systems, classification systems, etc.. These have grown into the fields of computation science, computability theory, information theory, type theory, and more. Such things as
, computability theory, and all these models of models tend to be a step more indirect in their application (and, thus, in possessing 'usefulness'). They, themselves, are
applied to proposed models and computations
, and they are used to make conclusions and statements about those. These models-of-models are 'useful' if the statements and conclusions they make are 'useful'.
These tend to be of greatest value in fields that treat models and computations themselves as products... e.g. the fields of Engineering Design and
. E.g.
has found a great deal of 'usefulness' in the
field on two different fronts, one being the classification of computations as 'safe' or 'unsafe' (a property known as
), and the other being in the automatic analysis of expressions/statements/objects in attempting to divine programmer 'intent' (which results in the ability to handle static polymorphic dispatching, various optimizations, and some of the more complex syntaxes and grammars (such as those that possess context-sensitive order-of-operations)). These are 'useful' indirectly... e.g. to the programmer who gets to use context-sensitive macros, or to the developer, who can (with automated static type-safety) find 'obvious' errors before fielding the product or (with dynamic type-safety) at least fail gracefully. These help the user... make money, work with reduced trepidation, get more done in less time, whatever - something useful.
Anyhow, back to the subject: Is it possible for 'math theories' to be '
s'? It is true that any complete proof within a particular mathematical theory is certainly a tautology within that theory: the 'complete' proof will necessarily always go all the way back to those axioms, which themselves are true by virtue of being axioms (which is circular logic from an outside perspective). However, the above description of
(that the models
"can be bent to fit just about any observation made"
) simply doesn't apply; mathematical theories are disassociated from real-world observations.
Indeed, after determining that the theory is consistent - that 'true' and 'false' don't mean the same thing - one should only be concerned as to whether the mathematical model is of any 'use'. And, as Goedel's incompleteness theorem indicates, it will almost always be possible to make a theory more useful by carefully selecting axioms that decide the undecidable in ways users of the theory find 'useful'.
Conclusion: The word '
' is misleading and of no value. The only thing that comes vaguely close to the '
' is any model that self-contradicts - wherein 'true' and 'false' are the same - and we already have words for those:
. That's all we need.
Now, I know that
created this page on
- creating a new word with which to brand the opposition using his trademark unsubstantiated claims. To be honest, I wrote the above mostly to pull the rug out from under him, but I'll allow myself some small, optimistic hope that he'll actually
(maybe even
) at comprehending what I said before objecting to it. I'd appreciate it if he keeps his fuming objection to my above rejection (and my snark) below my sig, lest my statements be mutilated beyond readability via spurious injection of aggressive comments.
To be honest, I find your writing too meandering for that. Note that a
may not be valid if not connected to reality because in a purely mathematical realm it may not matter if its "unnecessarily complex". Equivalency is equivalency. (It just makes it hard for humans to work with.) However, for physical models, we generally seek parsimony, that is the simplest explanation that fits observation. A model that is too complex is usually considered suspicious.
is not valid
. And I agree that we seek 'as simple as possible, but no simpler', but never forget the 'but no simpler' part - parsimony itself is never a reason to reject a model. You reject a good explanation when you already have TWO good explanations, and one is simpler than the other.
That is true, but often the complicated one "smells" unnecessarily complex. One test of smelliness is
difficultly in falsification
either at the instance level and/or the model level. Another is being
(NEEDS PROOF). If it can match anything by emulating anything, then it has only limited scientific use (NEEDS PROOF).
What it means for a model to be '
' is only that it is possible to ask problems that, to 'solve' using the axiomatic rules in the model, require computation that is equivalent to an arbitrary Turing machine. For example, the physics model is rather trivially equivalent to finite-tape Turing machines: one can formulate a problem equivalent to finite-tape Turing machine X by representing a complete, physical implementation of 'machine X' in the physics model. Then one can ask arbitrary questions of it (like "does it halt"?). And one can test it by finding the right equations and crunching all the numbers. Despite this, the model for physics in use remains falsifiable - it need only make some predictions that aren't true as measured empirically. And it's quite easy to see that the model for physics remains of scientific use.
You too often use '
' as a form of hand-waving, abracadabra magic to dismiss people's arguments or reinforce a claim, and I'm rather irritated with how you insist on repeating these unjustified (and often unjustifiable) statements as though we're supposed to either accept them on your word alone or perform ALL the legwork in disproving you. From now on I'm writing (NEEDS PROOF) or (NEEDS FURTHER EXPLANATION) whenever I'm irritated in this manner - nice, big, glaring, demanding real attention. Hopefully it will work better in helping you find you explain your points and locate your errors than telling you where you're wrong or providing counter-examples (which are simply more effort than I've decided your comprehension is worth).
(Why is
here [in see also]? Nothing about '
' even begins to associate with it.)
A model that is
can be any other model (NEEDS PROOF), thus a
(NEEDS PROOF). It is a technique that can be used to build a
A model that is
allows you to
represent the computation
of a problem from any other model in terms of a problem described in the
model. However, that does not imply any semantic equivalence between the models (the set of axioms and rules and their association to the world). Nor does it mean that the use of the model in this manner will seem at all sensible, or that the problem transformation will be easy describe. Your statement here is simply
. It's rather like saying that "Brainfuck IS every model" simply because you can represent the computation of problems for any model within
In a sense, the BF people are right. That is why there are so many
s in IT: there is no objective formulaic falsifiability (NEEDS PROOF) (except with a layer of human interpretation/assignment (NEEDS FURTHER EXPLANATION)). There is no consensus algorithm to say something belongs to one paradigm or another, for example (
can't prove an absence (of objective formulaic falsifiability) by use of an example).
In the end it's all just moving bits about, no matter how much you hide that away. The important thing is whether or not the language can move the bits about in all the ways they can possibly be moved.
In the end, a computation is a computation, perhaps. However, that doesn't mean that a model is every other model. Models aren't computations, and models aren't "just moving bits about".
A formal model is usually subject to computation; i.e. we can run scenarios through it. Yes, there are informal models, but they are more subject to subjectivity.
Agreed. Good, formal models should be
to formal computation.
Note that a
can be a continuous concept. There can be various degrees of "overly complex" (
)and "difficult to falsify".

The guest house was teeeeeeeeeeeny. Great tiles and kitchen area but so small that a queen bed on its own would not have fit. A brief moment of disappointment as I was psyched up to move, but the realization that there are more guest houses out there and one of them has my name on it. Patience, Grasshopper. Do not take score too soon, mes amis!
Awesome sprint this morning on the stairmill of doom and a new record on planks: 1 minute!!! Yay me! The big treat of the day was a Clementine tangerine and it was yumminess personified. Weekends I allow myself some bacon (no sugar, organic, no nitrates, nitrites, etc) which I enjoyed this morning with scrambled eggs and avocado. Lunch was said tangerine as well as a couple of slices of grass fed NY strip and a little more avocado. Dinner will be chicken tenders (organic) dredged in coconut flour and pan fried in coconut oil and some broccoli. I may live it up and have another tangerine!
Weight is stable at 132. I shan't weigh myself for the rest of this week. My arms are striated from the back view, along with my rear delts and this without flexing. Sides of my legs have a cut going down them, arse looks good, just a little more work on my abs and a wee bit more on my arms. Three more weeks of Whole 37. Hoping to get to a healthy looking 126. That's 2 lbs a week and seems easy enough. Next Saturday I have to go to a birthday bash with J's family, so that will be a little test of will. They don't know our situation and this will be the last holiday season that I spend with them so I can just mentally disconnect and be superficially charming. Hey, I'm honest!
Ok, let's see. How about the following goals for the week:
1 1/2 minute plank
Unassisted dip PR
Couple of leads on a guest house
Work on my Winter Solstice cards
Write my Vocal Coach about a voice over demo for the New Year
Create the twitter account for my Dad's novel
Sell 15000 worth of wine
Do some research on how to pitch a TV movie
Phew, that's enough!!!

One night I was poking around Pinterest looking for a coffee cake recipe. I had thought about making cinnamon rolls, but as I didn't have regular yeast and didn't want to spend the time it would take to cook it in the morning, so I opt'd for coffee cake instead.
I noticed TONS had REAL coffee in it. While that would be totally heavenly, it's not something I want the boys to eat in the morning. Mega doses of sugar is enough. The thought of coffee in their little bodies.. oh boy!
I decided on a basic coffee cake, found on "Lick the Bowl Good". I did a few minor modifications. I omitted the raisins and pecans. For me to call this "basic" makes it sound bland in some way, but this coffee cake is in NO way bland! It is simply divine!
My mom laughed at me when I told her I thought this recipe was simple. I guess I've come a long way in my cooking ventures, because she said this is not considered simple. It would be more intermediate. Which amazed me, because truly my love for cooking has grown. Things that I once thought were hard, are so much more simple.
I do think the next time I make this, I'll bag up the topping the night before. Also I will mix up all the dry ingredients the night before and set aside. This wasn't a major time killing in the morning, but it would speed the process up a bit.
When I was craving these, it just didn't feel fast enough getting them into the oven! 😉
I mixed up the middle, with brown sugar, flour and cinnamon.
Set out the butter. LOTS of butter isn't it? Screams fattening, yet delicious!
Started mixing it up. This was a little process. After having mixed the wet up, you slowly put the flour in, then some milk, then flour, then milk and so on. I am SO thankful I never got rid of my Kitchen Aid! While it sat in storage for almost 6 years, it's making up for lots time now.
I had a little helper. VERY eager little boy to lick the bowl.. He takes after his mother. I must say the dough was pretty good. 😉
Time for the layers! The bottom wasn't too hard.
Of course putting the middle on was easy, with a bit of melted butter.
The next layer was a bit harder. I found putting 6 large drops of dough all over, then spreading it thin the best option for me.
Ready to go into the oven!
The results were SO addicting!!
- For the Cake:
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- For the Cinnamon:
- 1½ cups light brown sugar
- 3 tbsp all purpose flour
- 3 tbsp cinnamon
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks) butter, melted
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 13 by 9 inch pan.
- To make the filling, combine the light brown sugar, flour and cinnamon in a bowl and stir with a fork to mix everything well. Place the cinnamon mixture, nut mixture and melted butter by the baking pan to use later.
- To make the cake batter, combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Stir the vanilla into the milk. In a large bowl combine the butter and sugar and beat with a mixer on high speed until pale yellow and evenly mixed, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl to ensure a good mix. Add the eggs and beat for another 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl now and then, until the mixture is smooth and light.
- Use a large spoon or spatula to add about a third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir only until the flour disappears. Add a third of the milk and mix in. Repeat twice more until all the flour and milk mixtures have been incorporated. Stir just enough to keep the batter smooth.
- Spread half the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon mixture over the batter followed by half the melted butter. Spread the remaining batter carefully over the filling, using a spatula to smooth the batter all the way to the edges of the pan. Top with the leftover cinnamon and butter, covering the cake evenly.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the cake is golden brown, fragrant and beginning to pull away from the edges of the pan. Place the pan on a wire rack and allow to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before serving in squares right from the pan. The cake is delicious hot, warm or at room temperature.

Getting caught "white-handed" is when someone is caught in the act of masturbating. They could be masturbating to porn, or they could just be having some fun with themselves on the toilet. White-handed refers to the cum that drips out of their penis and onto their hands if they don't clean it up right away.
Ethan's mom: So I was going into Ethan's room yesterday to give him his laundry, and then I caught him white-handed!
Ethan's teacher: I caught him in school once! He is such a horny kid...

Collision closes two South Kitsap roads
A collision involving two vehicles closed down Sedgwick Road at the Banner Road intersection at approximately 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
According to South Kitsap Fire and Rescue (SKFR) Battalion Chief Guy Dalrymple, only minor injuries were sustained in what could have been a serious incident.
Sedgwick and Banner Roads were closed for approximately an hour while rescue crews extricated a mother and daughter from one of the vehicles.
Dalrymple said the collision caused one of the vehicles to flip over onto its roof while the other vehicle ended up in a ditch.
"It looks like the driver of the vehicle on Sedgwick Road attempted to avoid a T-bone impact with the other vehicle that was coming out of Banner," he said. "We did an extrication of the persons in the vehicle that ended
up in the ditch because of possible spinal injuries, we didn't want to twist them trying to get them out.
"Most of what we did was precautionary," Dalrymple said. "Both vehicles had airbags and all drivers were wearing their seat belts. This was a significant accident but the injuries were minor because everyone was wearing safety restraints."
Dalrymple continued with a reminder to drivers, "Slow down, stay alert and make sure to always wear a seat belt."

Austria's capital city makes much of its winter, and once more this year Vienna will see 500,000 happy skaters take to the ice in fine style. With the splendid Neo-Gothic pinnacles and towers of the Rathaus (City Hall) as a backdrop and leading down to the Burgtheater, Vienna Ice Dream – in German Vienner Eistraum – has once again transformed the Rathausplatz into a winter wonderland, and surely Vienna's most beautiful skating rink.
Planning a trip? Browse Viator's tours and things to do in Vienna, Vienna attractions, and Vienna travel recommendations. Or book a private tour guide in Vienna for a customized tour!
The skating area includes more than 61,600 sq feet (5,600 sq meters) of synthetic ice in two circular rinks and connected by ice trails that wend their way for around half a mile (0.8 km) through the adjoining Rathaus Park. By night the City Hall is dramatically floodlit and the ice rinks prettily illuminated, and the whole square is dotted with tented stalls selling glühwein and hot chocolate, plus Viennese favorites, Käsespätzle (a take on macaroni cheese) and Gröstl (pork and onion hash topped with fried egg).
Skating on the Rathausplatz is free for children and beginners between 9am-4pm from Monday through Friday, and there are lockers on site for storing valuables; skates and helmets for kids can be hired. Various events take place throughout the season, which runs in 2013 from January 25 to March 10, including ice discos to the sounds of 1980s music or serene ice dances to waltzes, plus skating displays by professionals. After 5pm each evening, curling matches take place on the rink reserved for kids and novices (book ahead to secure a lane). Non-skaters can keep warm in the Panorama Tent, which offers views over the ice rinks.

AKRON — Jan Karr turned 63 this week.
But you wouldn't know it by her actions.
Karr is hooked on jumping-and-spinning sports, from snowboarding, to water skiing to wind surfing. So it was no surprise when the Akron resident won a gold medal recently at the U.S. Figure Skating Adult Nationals.
"Turning 60 is just so darn depressing, you have to perk things up," Karr said. "About every 10 years I try to do something new that I've never done before."
Karr is active year-round with her competitive hobbies. From the spring to the fall she enjoys wind surfing and water skiing. From mid-October through "whenever the snow is on the ground" she focuses on figure skating before adding in snowboarding when the local resorts build their half-pipes.
The figure skating championship was held at the Bloomington Ice Gardens, a rink about five miles from the famous Mall of America in Minneapolis. A third-year participant, Karr set her sights high — to winning the whole thing in the Bronze Ladies 5 Freestyle event.

Consolation games usually aren't much fun, but the Altoona Mountain Lions took some satisfaction from beating Philadelphia West Catholic, 50-40, for third-place honors in the 2012 Altoona Area Holiday Basketball Tournament on Friday night at the AAHS Fieldhouse.
"I told the kids that the Philly kids didn't want to come all this way to lose twice," coach Paul Hasson said, "and I thought we matched their intensity and played well in a lot of areas."
The victory snapped a three-game losing streak and gave the Mountain Lions a winning record [5-3] for the month of December, the first time they achieved that success during Hasson's four-year tenure.
"It was a good team effort," Hasson said. "We had some balanced scoring and played good defense. Holding them to 40 [points], a [Philadelphia] city team that's used to putting up some numbers, was good.
"It was a big win for us because we had lost three in a row, and it gives us five for the month of December which was something we emphasized," he said. "Five of those eight games were on the road, too."
Hasson felt West Catholic played much better Friday than it did in a 30-point loss to Euclid, Ohio, on Thursday.
"They were much better tonight," Hasson said, "but we played solid quarters throughout. We held them to single digits in two quarters, which was big, especially in the fourth quarter."
The Lions actually saved their best play until the final minutes of the fourth quarter. After Torey Green's 3-pointer pulled West Catholic to within 41-40 with six minutes left, Altoona put its best foot forward and held the Burrs scoreless the rest of the way.
Jaret Berardinelli's trey hiked the Altoona lead to four [44-40] and Kevin Givens' layup made it 46-40. Free throws by Tony Acrie and DeShea Lee sealed the deal in the closing seconds.
"I was open," Berardinelli said. "I saw the shot and thought I could make it."
"Hey, we hit a couple of 3s," Hasson said, laughing, noting the Lions did not hit one from beyond the arc in a Thursday loss to Pine-Richland.
Lee and Manny Span were benched the first period last night for violating a team rule, according to Hasson. Span still finished with a team-high 13 points and Acrie had eight of his 10 in the first half.
"Berardinelli and Givens gave us a jolt," Hasson said, noting they replaced Lee and Span in the starting lineup. "Berardinelli has a lot of confidence in his game, and he handled the ball well down the stretch, too."
"This was a great turnaround," Berardinelli said of the victory. "It gave me a little more determination," he said of his start, "and I was able to help out the team.
"Everything always comes back to team play, though," the 5-foot-9 junior guard said. "We knew they'd be scrappy and we've been working on our ballhandling in the shootouts the last couple days."
Game notes: Pine-Richland won the boys championship by beating Euclid, Ohio, 57-54. ... Dean Steliotes of Pine-Richland was named the tourney's MVP. ... All-tourney team members included Altoona's Span, West Catholic's Anwar Epps, Euclid's Chavez Harper and Pine-Richland's Sam Dunsmore. ... Altoona returns to action Wednesday, Jan. 2 with a trip to Latrobe.

Sidney Weinberg, Goldman Sachs Senior Director, Dies
Sidney J. Weinberg Jr., a senior director at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the Wall Street firm once led by his father and his younger brother, has died. He was 87.
Weinberg, known as Jim, died on Oct. 4 of prostate cancer, according to a memo sent to Goldman Sachs employees by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Lloyd C. Blankfein and President and Chief Operating Officer Gary D. Cohn. He "maintained his office at the firm and his influence upon our people until his death," the memo said.
Although Weinberg was affiliated with Goldman Sachs for 45 years, he played a less prominent role at the firm than his late father, Sidney J. Weinberg, who was chief executive officer from 1939 to 1969, or his late brother, John L. Weinberg, who ran the company from 1976 until 1990.
Weinberg treasured privacy and argued successfully at a 1986 partners' meeting against taking the firm public, according to the book "Goldman Sachs: The Culture of Success" by Lisa Endlich (Knopf, 1999).
"Jimmy told the group that the proposal made no sense. Goldman Sachs had a heritage, and he was on the side of preserving it," Endlich wrote. "He would feel uncomfortable reading about partners in the newspapers, of having the details of their financial situation made available for public consumption."
Goldman Sachs went public in 1999, later than many of its U.S. competitors, and 11 years after Weinberg retired from a full-time role at the company.
Joins Goldman Sachs
Sidney James Weinberg Jr. was born in Scarsdale, New York, on March 27, 1923. He served in the Philippines as a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army during World War II. Weinberg received a bachelor's degree from Princeton University and then a master's in business administration from Harvard University in 1949. He worked as a vice president of the textile division at Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp., now Owens Corning Inc., before joining Goldman Sachs's investment-banking department in 1965.
For a decade beginning in 1978, Weinberg ran the firm's investment-banking services department, a unit created by former Goldman Sachs Co-Chairman John C. Whitehead to help manage client relationships and win business. Weinberg retired from the general partnership in 1988 when he turned 65. He remained a limited partner until the firm went public and then became a senior director.
Culture Carrier
"Jim was one of the most important culture carriers" at Goldman Sachs, Whitehead said in a telephone interview. "He was an advocate of team play, no internal ugly competition, service to customers, putting the customers' interests before the firm's interests and all of those good things that make a partnership."
He was also the "model" banker for winning new business from clients, said Whitehead. "We had a lot of good ones, but I can't say that anyone was his equal," he said. "He had personality, judgment, knowledge of the products, and a good sales ability. His clients were his friends."
Thomas S. Murphy, the former chairman and chief executive officer of Capital Cities/ABC Inc., was a close friend of Weinberg since they attended Harvard Business School together.
"His whole reputation in the business world was as a person of honesty and integrity," said Murphy. "We had to sell a lot of things when we bought ABC, and he did a great job. You could really count on Jim."
'Unpretentious, Congenial'
In his book on the history of Goldman Sachs, "The Partnership" (Penguin Press, 2008), author Charles D. Ellis described Weinberg as his younger brother's "closest and most objective confidant and adviser on policy and strategy."
"Jim Weinberg was consistently unpretentious, congenial, and insightful," Ellis wrote. "He took subways and once, at a fabulous Los Angeles restaurant, asked the captain, 'Don't you have anything less expensive?'"
Stephen Friedman, a Goldman Sachs board member and a former chairman of the firm, remembered working with Weinberg when Friedman was a junior mergers and acquisitions banker.
"I'd watch Jim pace things, giving the client a chance to think and adjust to what he was saying," Friedman said in a telephone interview. "He was quite good at the strategic pause."
Weinberg's success with clients was "no magic potion," Friedman said. "He just had a great demeanor, and people would develop confidence in him because he wasn't pandering to them, he would tell them what he thought."
Identified With Clients
Robert E. Rubin, a former co-chairman of Goldman Sachs who later became U.S. Treasury secretary and chairman of Citigroup Inc., also singled out Weinberg's skill with customers.
"I watched Jim as he dealt with clients and I learned a lot about how to deal with people more generally," Rubin said in a telephone interview. "He was very effective at relating to what they cared about and what their issues were and then really identifying with them and helping them solve their problems."
For the last five years, Weinberg served on the board of directors of the Goldman Sachs Foundation, the company's philanthropic arm that was created in 1999. He was also a senior trustee of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, a life trustee of the New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and a trustee emeritus and former chairman of the board of trustees of Scripps College in Claremont, California.
Weinberg was also the founding chairman of the board of the Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences in Claremont, California, and an honorary trustee and honorary member of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. In 2005, he was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Weinberg, who died at his home in Marion, Massachusetts, is survived by his wife of 59 years, Elizabeth "Betty" Houghton Weinberg; six children, Jay, Alan, Laurie, Betsy, Sydney and Peter, 12 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Today we had parent/teacher interviews. Oh, let me re-phrase that a bit...today we had 3-way-child-led-conferences at our school! Wow, how reporting has changed!
I had a few lump-in-the-throat moments as my little treasures spoke of their learning journeys, personal learning goals, tricky moments, what they have been successful at and more. They shared their work which they are most proud of, reading (in most cases) with great confidence and sharing (in most cases) with confident speaking voices and no hesitation. I saw thrilled parents who smiled at their children's achievements and accountability for their own learning. I heard the children articulate their learning. I even watched a change in attitude about what the learning journey of this life is all about...a continuous learning journey, one which we have choices in.
So tonight as I prepare for another day of teaching tomorrow followed by more conferences, I am able to reflect with a smile on my face and a skip in my heart. They GET it. I mean, they really GET it. Not just the children, the parents I mean! They really GET what their kids are doing - they understand self-management (even if they don't know the phrase yet), they recognise that their child participates and contributes to their classroom learning environment. They can process how their child relates to others and how this affects them.
Tonight, today, I saw joy in my children's faces as they shared who they are as learners.

Detroit now a possible landing spot for LeBron?
One of the by-products of the Billups-for-Iverson swap is that the Detroit Pistons will have a ton of cap space in the summer of 2010, when LeBron James and a number of high-profile free agents could potentially hit the free market. Henry Abbott of TrueHoop goes through the options.
Down the road the Pistons becomes the driving force of big-time free agency as soon as Iverson's contract comes off the books next summer. The Pistons will combine a winning environment, one of the most respected general managers in the game, and — depending on salary cap levels that are yet to be set, and extensions that may yet be given to existing Pistons — likely enough cap space to sign two free agent players to max contracts over the next summers of 2009 and 2010.
Feast your eyes on this list of players who will be available. 2010 free agents include LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, Ray Allen, Tyson Chandler, Manu Ginobili, Richard Jefferson, Joe Johnson, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Redd.
The two that jump out to me are, of course, Chris Bosh and LeBron James. They played together nicely on Team USA, and now Dumars can at least entertain the notion of signing not one of those two, but both.
A team that suspects one of those players might leave via free agency in 2010 might be compelled to realize some value for the player by dealing with a team under the cap like the Pistons in the summer of 2009. (The NBA's rules about matching up salaries in trades only apply to teams that are over the salary cap. Once Iverson's big contract is off the books next summer, the Pistons will be able to deal freely.)
Other than Tayshaun Prince and Jason Maxiell, no other Piston is currently signed through 2011 (though the franchise is likely to exercise its option on Rodney Stuckey's rookie contract). That puts Detroit's payroll at an estimated $19 million for the 2010-11 season, which should give the team major salary cap flexibility during the summer of 2010.
Abbott thinks that the Pistons can turn this cap space into two premier players. Throw in Prince, Maxiell and Stuckey, and that's a nice core.
Update: The Pistons signed Rip Hamilton to a three-year extension worth $34 million that would presumably keep him in Detroit through the 2013 season.

The Wyoming City Council got some good news Monday from the city's new auditing firm, Rehmann Robson.
Stephen Blann, principal in charge of the audit division for the firm, presented findings of their recent audit of Wyoming's finances.
He said the team gave the city's books and financial statements a clean report.
"It's exactly what you're looking for," Blann said. "It tells you the financial statements are free of any material misstatements."
He said that as a new team taking a fresh look at the city's practices, they identified a few areas they felt could be changed going forward. One concerned tightening up the documentation regarding pension benefits to ensure they were being calculated correctly.
Blann said their recommendations had already been discussed with the city's financial managers and the financial statements had already been adjusted, so no further actions were needed.
Blann said the city ended its fiscal year with revenue slightly above estimates and expenses slightly below.
"Collectively you ended up about $2.3 million ahead," he said. "It was a nice strong finish for the year."
Mayor Jack Poll praised the work of the city's financial team, led by Finance Director Tim Smith.
"We have a small staff compared to what we used to have, yet we continue to see our numbers, our estimates, come very close to where the final numbers are," Poll told Smith at the meeting. "That's nothing but good work on your behalf."

Rift Deepens as Anna Hits out at AAP
By Ganesh N | ENS - MUMBAI
Published: 14th December 2013 10:38 AM
Last Updated: 14th December 2013 10:38 AM
If Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal thought that by sending party member Gopal Rai to Ralegan Siddhi for Anna Hazare's Lokpal agitation their strained relations would be mended, then he was completely wrong.
Now it is evident that the divide between Kejriwal and Hazare, which has now come out in the open, runs more deeper than seen on the surface. On Friday, an angry Hazare asked Rai to shut up and leave the ground when he objected to former Army Chief V K Singh attacking Kejriwal.
Gopal Rai arrived in Ralegan Siddhi to participate in Hazare's fast which entered its fourth day. Rai was given due respect by Hazare and made to sit in the front row.
V K Singh, who had come to the venue to express his support to Hazare, in his speech began indirectly attacking Kejriwal.
"If we have to ensure that our country progresses, then we have to fight together and not form different groups and political parties in order to just gain advantage for yourselves," he said, in an apparent reference to Kejriwal, who formed the AAP.
Irked by the scathing attack, Rai got into a verbal slanging match with him. It was then Hazare, who was sitting on the stage, took the mike and rebuked Rai publicly. "Gopal Rai, you please keep quiet. You are not following the proper system, why are you talking in between," he asked, clearly agreeing with Singh's remarks. He said that Rai was not welcome in Ralegan Siddhi.
Later, Rai calmed down, but later told reporters that he was not against Hazare, but people like V K Singh who were hobnobbing with Modi and sharing stage with Hazare.

With Georgia leading at halftime 13-7 and dominating possession, it looked as though the Commodores could lose their 12th straight to the Bulldogs. But in the second half, a first play fumble recovery lead to a Commodores touchdown and from there on it was an evenly fought battle right to the end... and what an ending! With less than two seconds left on the clock, Hahnfeldt's 33-yard kick pierced through the uprights sealing the biggest upset of the year and all but crushing Georgia's hope of a National Title. A must have for any Commodore fan, this DVD is packed with all the action!

Before you can walk, you have to crawl, you have to stumble.
Then once you can walk, you can run and there is no destination, no goal too far to reach.
The Estrella Foothills football program knows how to reach its goals. And it knows their goals will be accomplished.
Slowly. Surely. And sometimes achingly so.
But they will come. Patience is the key.
The team's goals this year are measured as such.
"We will take one week at a time and look to get better every week," said Estrella Foothills coach Lamar Early, who has been coaching for 12 years overall.
Rich Hoyt resigned from Estrella Foothills' head coaching duties in 2009, when the team went 9-2, and the program lost 23 talented seniors (more than half of the roster) at the same time. Since then, Estrella Foothills has been in rebuilding mode. With Early tasked to do the job. Estrella Foothills has won four games in the last two seasons.
The 2010 team didn't catch many breaks and lost many of its games by a slim margin. And the 2011 team, littered with inexperience, was also a break or two away from winning more games. It lost to Buckeye Youngker 15-12, in the first game of the season then lost to Tonopah Valley 7-6 the next game.
"The boys have been working hard this offseason," Early said. "We've had a great summer program."
Estrella Foothills welcomes 14 returning starters and needs to improve on all fronts after scoring 146 points last season and allowing 269.
Senior quarterback Gerrit Groenewold (6-foot-2, 180 pounds) will be the key player in Estrella Foothills' spread offense. Groenewold and 6-3 senior wide receiver Steve Ludlow have the potential to form a lethal combination. Senior running back Najee Jacobs (6-0, 190) will provide the speed and power in the running game while 5-8 sophomore Branden Leon will be the change-of-pace back who will keep opposing defenses guessing.
Leon will also play defensive back in Estrella Foothills' aggressive 4-4 defense.
Estrella Foothills is looking forward to showing that its progress will improve from crawl to run gradually through the season to reach the ultimate goal.
"We want to see (the team) improve by each week," he said. "And we would like to make the playoffs."

FREEPORT — The Stephenson County Board revisited an ordinance confirming annual rabies vaccination fees for dog owners Thursday night, four months after deleting dog registration from the list of county ordinances. It was a move some board members originally believed would eliminate fees for dog owners, but actually created confusion as some thought they were no longer required to pay fees or get rabies vaccinations for their pets.
"There were two separate ordinances before, one was for rabies vaccinations and the other was a county dog registration," said Chris Isbell, Stephenson County animal control administrator. "Some members of the board wanted to eliminate all registration but state law requires a registration tag for rabies."
The County Board passed the measure 11-9 after lengthy discussion, a vote to send the measure back to committee failed and a first attempt at passing the ordinance ended in a 10-10 tie.
"If we don't have fees, the money to pay for dog bites will have to come out of the general fund," Freeport resident Merry Blake told the board members. "There were over 60 bites in 2012. We had registration for over 30 years and it was good as it was."
But some board members, such as David Martindale, said the measure is an intrusion of government.
"It's nothing more than a money grab, taking money out of the taxpayers' pockets and it's sickening," said District J Board Member Sol Detente. "We ought to be ashamed of ourselves passing things like this."
District K Board Member Mark Diddens said that residents would still have to register their dogs regardless of the ordinance. The fee is $7 if the dog is spayed or neutered, $20 if not. The ordinance was created to clarify to residents that they are still responsible for immunizing their dogs, he said.
"If we take it or we don't take it, they still have to do it," Diddens said. "This (discussion) is a waste of time. The ordinance is clearing up confusion, that's all it's doing. It's not a big deal. What is a big deal is clearing up the confusion."
Isbell said that fees residents are paying are state required. When the County Board eliminated the county registration, many wrongly believed that the fees no longer had to be paid, which isn't the case, said Isbell.
"We still need to be able to track owners and bites and we're still keeping information and collecting the fees," Isbell said. "Nothing really changed, but there are dogs that are not registered now because there was confusion where people thought they no longer had to pay."
Isbell said that because of the miscommunication, there have been three cases of vicious dogs who have bitten people or attacked other dogs with no way of identifying the animals' owners. He was hopeful the passage of the new ordinance would clarify the rules.
Page 2 of 2 - "Without the registration system, we have no way to trace the dog to their owner to hold them responsible," Isbell said.

A Congress of Eagles
There was a time, not so long ago, when catching a glimpse of a majestic bald eagle, the United States' national symbol, would have been a rarity. The widely-used pesticide, DDT had rendered the birds' eggshells paper-thin, and fewer and fewer of the creatures hatched every year. But with the 1967 classification of Haliaeetus Leucocephalus as an endangered species and the 1972 ban on the dangerous chemical, the recovery of this magnificent raptor began. In some places, the numbers of birds are still quite low. But, in others, from Alaska to Missouri, a combination of factors have brought the magnificent raptors to roost in incredible numbers. In these areas, it's often quite easy to see great numbers of soaring birds stretching their magnificent wings as they search for food, which is why birders are also flocking to these places.
Food is the primary factor that brings these birds together in great concentrations. At certain times of year, thousands of bald eagles congregate along rivers and streams in Washington, Alaska, and Montana where spawning salmon, eulachon, or shad make easy prey. In the winter in certain parts of Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, any water that remains unfrozen draws eagles from miles around, where they feed on wintering waterfowl and fish swimming near the surface.
By nature, bald eagles tend more toward scavenging than toward catching healthy prey, and they require a relatively large amont of food. They often eat spawned out or weakened fish, and sick or dying waterfowl, although they are capable of being formidable predators when necessary. It is easy to recognize the mature bald eagle by its distinctive plumage. After the bird reaches four or five years old, it loses its mostly brown feathers and sports a white cap and tail. Bald eagles have a wing span of about seven feet and weigh about 14 pounds on average, although the female of the species is usually a little larger. Eagles mate for life, and females lay two three-inch eggs each spring. The birds can live to be about 40 years old.
