Sierra Club and Victory Fund release joint statement criticizing Florida Rep. Kathleen Peters
Today Sierra Club and Victory Fund released a joint statement criticizing Florida state Representative Kathleen Peters for her hypocritical response to an environmental disaster in Florida, which has spilled hundreds of millions of gallons of toxic water into the Floridan aquifer. Peters, who is running against Victory Fund and Sierra Club endorsed candidate Jennifer Webb, is calling for "transparency" after the disaster, in the form of legislation to require the public be notified of an environmental disaster within 24 hours. While notifying the public is important, the statement is critical of her call for transparency given her voting record favoring big fracking companies, and making it more difficult for the public to learn about the toxic chemicals they use. A notification period also does nothing to prevent future disasters like Mosaic.
Read the entire joint statement:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thursday, September 29, 2016
Hypocrisy Alert:
Kathleen Peters Calls for Band-Aid Environmental Transparency, But Shields Polluters from Accountability
Mosaic, Oil and Gas Fracking Companies Among Kathleen's Biggest Contributors
Earlier this week, State Rep Kathleen Peters said she'll sponsor legislation to require public notification of contamination to our environment within 24 hours. Her announcement was triggered by the discovery that Mosaic's phosphate pit was spewing hundreds of millions of gallons of radioactive water into the Floridan aquifer, a water source for 10 million people, including Pinellas county and the city of St. Pete. The company waited three weeks before telling anyone.
Now, Kathleen Peters is calling for transparency after an environmental disaster – but she's voted repeatedly to allow unfettered fracking in Florida – an oil and gas extraction process that can cause sinkholes like the Mosaic disaster and earthquakes. Florida's fragile, shallow limestone subsurface is uniquely vulnerable to sinkhole disasters like mosaic.
Earlier this year, Peters voted for HB 191, allowing fracking in Florida, and making it illegal for local communities to ban fracking. She also voted for a measure that would have effectively shielded fracking companies by making it difficult for the public to learn about the toxic chemicals used in the fracking process. She joined with other fracking industry legislators when she voted against several efforts that would have required additional environmental and public health protections that would have forced the fracking industry to study and disclose the impact of fracking chemicals on prenatal health and that would have prevented fracking companies from using carcinogenic chemicals.
Pinellas county is one of the many Florida counties that have banned fracking. Yet Peters voted to allow it anyway, and to ignore the will of the voters by passing a state law that pre-empts their ability to ban fracking.
"Let's be clear: Kathleen Peters is calling for band-aid transparency, but not accountability," said David Harbeitner, Political Chair of Sierra Club Suncoast Group. "Her position is essentially that she's ok with fracking and the inevitably catastrophic environmental damage it can cause as long as the offending companies tell consumers within 24 hours about it afterwards."
Peters has a cozy relationship with the polluters at the center of the Mosaic disaster and the oil and gas fracking industry. She has directly taken at least $500 from Mosaic's political committee, the Florida Phosphate Committee. However, her Political Committee, Florida Speaks has taken $25,000 from other political committees directly supported by large contributions from Mosaic and thousands of dollars from the oil and gas industry.

LGBT officials in California lead charge to cut ties with anti-LGBT states
Above: Assembly Member Evan Low (left) and Supervisor Scott Wiener
Two separate measures introduced by a California Assembly member and a San Francisco supervisor restricting the use of government dollars to pay for discrimination advanced Tuesday.
AB 1887 prohibits the use of state money to pay for travel to states that don't allow local governments to protect LGBT people from discrimination. Introduced by openly gay Assembly Member Evan Low, a Victory Fund candidate, the bill was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday.
From ThinkProgress:
AB 1887 doesn't target any specific state, but lays out in detail whether a state will be impacted. Travel is forbidden to any state that has passed a law that explicitly discriminates against LGBT people, or that has passed a law voiding or repealing state or local protections for LGBT people. It requires the Attorney General to maintain a list of the states that would qualify.
Currently, the law would impact at least three states. The most obvious is North Carolina, because HB2 both voids local LGBT protections and mandates discrimination against transgender people when it comes to what facilities they can use. Also guaranteed to be on the list, however, would be Tennessee and Arkansas, two other states that have "preemption" laws prohibiting municipalities from extending nondiscrimination protections beyond what's available at the state level, thus voiding any city or county ordinances protecting sexual orientation and gender identity.
In San Francisco Tuesday, openly gay Supervisor – and state senate candidate – Scott Wiener's legislation to bar the city from doing business with states that don't allow LGBT protections passed the Board of Supervisors unanimously.
Board of Supervisors just passed my legislation making SF 1st city in country to ban contracting with states that pass anti-#LGBT hate laws.
— Scott Wiener (@Scott_Wiener) September 27, 2016
"I'm proud that our city is stepping out and being a leader in this fight," said Wiener in a statement. "I hope other jurisdictions follow suit and send a clear message that these laws have no place in our country."
Both measures are the first of their kind, though many governors and mayors have issued executive orders to the same effect.
Despite California's liberal reputation, progress for the LGBT community has been hard-fought and relatively recent. The documentary Political Animals recounts the difficulties faced by the first four LGBT legislators in the state – all Victory candidates – when fighting for LGBT equality.
LCV to invest $1 million in defeating Jason Lewis and other climate change deniers
The League of Conservation Voters Victory Fund (LCV) will spend $1 million to defeat two congressmen with terrible records on environmental issues. The effort will target, Jason "Mini-Trump" Lewis, the opponent of Victory-endorsed candidate Angie Craig. Jason Lewis has a long record of ignoring facts, science and evidence and peddling outlandishly false claims on climate change. The race remains close less than two months before the election.
While Angie vows to address climate change and create renewable energy jobs, Lewis claims one "nasty winter" is evidence climate change is not real, and is critical of plans to move toward renewable energy. But his ignorance extends well-beyond climate change. Lewis has called young women "non-thinking" because of their support for abortion and marriage equality, said trans students using bathrooms is an "abomination," and implied slavery should be legal and that he would be fine with it.
"Lewis is the spitting image of a 'mini-Trump', and makes the same sorts of outlandish claims," said LCV's Clay Schroers. "We're ready to bring the fight against climate science denial and Big Polluters allies to the House, and are committed to defeating these two candidates."
View a list frightening statements by Jason "Mini-Trump" Lewis.
Latest poll shows huge increase in support for U.S. Senate candidate Jim Gray
A new poll shows Victory-endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Jim gray gaining significant ground in his race against Senator Rand Paul –further indication this is the sleeper race of the 2016 election cycle. A Babbage Cofounder Pulse Poll found Jim just seven points behind Paul, a tremendous 12 point gain since an early August poll showed Jim 19 points behind. Significantly, 42 percent of Kentucky voters remain undecided despite Paul's strong name recognition, and these voters are gravitating toward Jim's problem-solving Kentucky-focused message.
Meanwhile, Paul continues to hide from Kentucky voters. Jim has called on Paul to "come out of the closet" and participate in a debate on the issues important to Kentuckians – which he has so far refused to do. Paul knows Jim is better on the issues voters care about, and that his substantive policy solutions resonate. Paul's weak support in the poll demonstrates that voters have soured on Paul's failed Senate term. They'll remember Paul didn't do his job while he spent months campaigning across the country on a spectacularly failed bid for the presidency. It's time for new leadership. Gray's appeal has been pitch perfect for Kentucky voters and we look forward to calling him the next U.S. Senator from Kentucky.
Jane Campbell's opponent blames others for his role in passing HB2
Above: John Bradford (left) and Victory-endorsed candidate Jane Campbell.
Despite sponsoring and voting for the disastrous HB2 that damaged North Carolina's reputation and economy, state Representative John Bradford is now blaming others for the bill's passage. On Saturday, Bradford shared a Facebook post claiming Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts was "hell-bent" on passing a non-discrimination law, and that her effort to protect LGBT people forced him and his state legislative colleagues to strip those protections by passing HB2. His finger pointing revealed his delusion over the reasons for the national backlash, and his leadership role in the debacle.
On Friday, Bradford continued to play politics with LGBT lives by saying he would support HB2's repeal, but only if Charlotte first repeals its protections for LGBT people. His statement came after the NCAA and ACC announced it would move its championship games outside the state. But a repeal of both laws would keep discrimination against LGBT people legal, and Equality North Carolina denounced any moves to repeal Charlotte's law, noting it's HB2 that is prompting sports teams and companies to leave the state.
While Bradford points fingers and denies culpability, his Victory-endorsed challenger Jane Campbell is discussing issues that matter to North Carolinians – increasing education funding and ending unfair highway tolls. Bradford's support for HB2 is her inspiration for running – and she would work tirelessly to repeal HB2 as the only openly LGBT person in the state legislature. A 25-year Navy veteran who served in Afghanistan, she is ready to take the fight to Bradford and remind voters of his critical role in harming the state's economy.
On Tuesday, Jane released the following statement:
"John Bradford drafted, sponsored and voted for HB2. His recent statement in support of repeal, on the condition that Charlotte legalizes discrimination against LGBT residents, is a dishonest tactic to avoid blame for his legislative incompetence and poor judgment. Bradford needs no action from Charlotte to repeal HB2. It has been a catastrophe for the economy, has cost us hundreds of millions of dollars, tens of thousands of jobs, and tarnished the reputation of our great state.
But HB2 is just one of several disasters Bradford has championed. He was also a cheerleader for the I-77 toll contract before it was signed, and subsequently decided it was a bad idea without admitting his mistake. District 98 deserves a new and honest leader who will put North Carolina's economy and families first. I will be that leader."
Similarly, Victory Fund and Equality North Carolina jointly released a statement criticizing Bradford.
An "outpouring of affection" in Atlanta for BeltLine project Cathy Woolard champions
Above: Cathy Woolard (center) on the BeltLine.
An "outpouring of affection" among Atlantans for its internationally-recognized BeltLine project will boost Victory-endorsed mayoral candidate Cathy Woolard, who had the vision and courage to be its first champion while President of the Atlanta City Council. Cathy proved herself a leader in urban renewal as she spent years organizing support and securing funding for the project – holding more than 90 community meetings across Atlanta to get resident feedback and suggestions.
Cathy's commitment pushed the ambitious project forward, and now residents and even once skeptical politicians support the revitalization effort, which converts old railroad lines circling Atlanta into mixed-use trails lined by pocket parks, public art and other places for civic engagement. Cathy became the BeltLine's chief advocate knowing it would lead to new jobs, more affordable housing, healthier residents and a more prosperous city, and residents are already seeing those benefits.
But there are still challenges facing the project before its completion in 2030, and some missteps have been made. If elected mayor in 2017, Cathy has vowed to ensure the transformational BeltLine meets the high expectations of Atlantans.
"It's the most important rail-transit project that's been proposed in the country, possibly in the world," said Christopher B. Leinberger of the George Washington University School of Business to The New York Times. And without Cathy's efforts, it may never have become a reality.
Angie Craig opponent uses family photo to attack her wife and kids
Above: A Facebook post by GOP Communications Chair Vickie Froehlich attacking Angie Craig's family.
On Friday, a local GOP Communications Chair raising funds on behalf of Minnesota Congressional candidate Jason Lewis used a family photo to attack the wife and kids of Victory-endorsed candidate Angie Craig.
In a Facebook post promoting an upcoming Lewis fundraiser, Vickie Froehlich showed a photo of Angie, her wife and four teenage sons playing Scrabble around their dining table, and said:
"In case you're wondering - the family photo page is the families of our candidates and then of Jason Lewis' opponent - Angie Craig. She's liberal and this is her family. She and her female marriage partner and their 4 teenage sons. Support Jason, give to Jason and work for Jason!!!"
Jason Lewis has not denounced this attack, and an apology is unlikely. Like Donald Trump, there's no group of Americans "Mini-Trump" Jason Lewis has not insulted. He has called young women "non-thinking," saying they only care about abortion and gay marriage, suggested immigrants are destroying white culture, and implied that slavery might not only be legal, but would be just fine with him.
Jason Lewis is nicknamed "Mini-Trump" for a reason, and his attacks will affect all LGBT Americans if he reaches the U.S. Congress. We need to elect Angie in November.

Victory candidate exposes voter database flaw in Washington state
Washington voters' personal data – including cell numbers and email addresses – was easily accessible via the state's voter registration until Victory-endorsed candidate Tina Podlodowski identified the issue and informed officials Wednesday. Access to the data was quickly shutoff after Tina explained the problem in a letter to her opponent Secretary of State Kim Wyman, yet the data had been vulnerable since 2012, raising serious questions about Wyman's competence.
"The breach was real and hopefully fixed," Tina said. "However, (Wyman) should submit to a full cyber audit done by the cyber security officer (which is outside the secretary of state's office) and not just rely on her own people."
#Update to story below. It was @Tinapo, @KimWyman12 opponent, who brought security loophole to @secstatewa attention pic.twitter.com/scQNaiiHsk
— Natalie Brand (@NatalieBrandK5) September 9, 2016
Tina has criticized Wyman for declining voter turnout, and her failure to identify an issue that may have led to a significant data breach could further erode turnout among Washingtonians concerned about their personal information being compromised when registering to vote. Tina has made increasing voter turnout and streamlining access to the ballot box the central issues of her campaign, while her opponent has failed to support efforts to make the voter registration process easier.
In a letter thanking Tina, the state's chief information security officer said: "Thank you again for following the industry standard for responsible disclosure of a potential cyber security issue and helping keep the citizens data safe."
North Carolina Governor releases second ad targeting transgender people
Above: A scene from North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory's ad.
In his latest attack on the transgender community, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory released a television ad titled "Common Sense." In it he says allowing transgender people to use the bathrooms of their gender identity is dangerous, and claims LGBT advocates believe political correctness supersedes the safety of children. After the video's release, Governor McCrory doubled-down by tweeting: "Retweet if you agree political correctness shouldn't outweigh our children's privacy and safety."
While McCrory's bigoted remarks are a desperate bid for attention as his gubernatorial opponent Roy Cooper leads in the polls, it remains critical that an LGBT voice is added to the state's legislature next year. Victory-endorsed candidate Jane Campbell announced her candidacy for the North Carolina State House when her now opponent in the race sponsored and voted for the discriminatory HB2 bill McCrory signed. Since then her promise to overturn HB2, increase education funding and end unfair highway tolls has resonated with voters.
Meanwhile a Raleigh News & Observer editorial emphasizes his bigoted ad does not resonate: "the governor's latest pathetic attempt to deceive the public on the merits of the catastrophic HB2 law won't fool anybody. … The governor's rhetoric is misguided on many levels. … So maybe the question here isn't the one McCrory asks, 'Are we really talking about this?' but rather 'Why is the governor really talking about this?'"
Jane is talking about issues that truly matter, and it is crucial she succeeds in November so true "common sense" prevails.

Wildlife, Wired: How Technology Is Changing Nature Reporting
Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge
Stanford University
291 Campus Drive West
Stanford, CA
Pilotless aircraft, camera traps, and satellite trackers are making it easier than ever to capture breathtaking images of wild species and detailed insights into their movements. Can technology bring readers closer to the natural world, while causing less disturbance? As western communities and economic development push further into wild spaces, can journalists better illustrate the impact of human activity? And what happens when residents learn more about who passes through their backyard, from pests to predators like bears, wolves, and mountain lions?
To explore these questions and more, please join us in celebrating Emilene Ostlind and Joe Riis, winners of the 2012 Knight-Risser Prize for Western Environmental Journalism for their report "Perilous Passages" in High Country News. Ostlind spent four seasons tracking pronghorn migration across 120 miles of Wyoming's Green River Valley, while Riis – a biologist by training – used camera traps to capture striking photographs of the animals on the move. Joining them for a panel discussion on technology and wildlife reporting are the photojournalist and John S. Knight Journalism Fellow Samaruddin Stewart, biology professor and nature photographer Susan McConnell, and Philippe Cohen, director of Stanford's Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve.
A reception with light refreshments and an exhibition of the winning entry will precede the event. Please RSVP using the link above.

Greenland shark
The Greenland shark, Somniosus microcephalus, also known as the sleeper shark, gurry shark, ground shark, grey shark, or by the Inuit languages name Eqalussuaq, is a large shark native to the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean around Greenland and Iceland. These sharks live farther north than any other shark species. They are closely related to the Pacific sleeper shark.[1] This is one of the largest species of shark, of dimensions comparable to those of the great white shark. Large Greenland sharks grow to 6.4 m (21 ft) and 1000 kg (2200 lbs),[2] and possibly up to 7.3 m (24 ft).[3] It rivals the Pacific sleeper shark (possibly up to 7 m or 23 ft long) as the largest species in the family Somniosidae. The Greenland shark is known to be long-lived, with an estimated maximum life span of over 200 years.
The Greenland shark mostly eats fish, though it may also prey on marine mammals such as seals. Bite marks on dead seals at Sable Island, Nova Scotia and Hawarden suggest that this shark may be a major predator for them in the winter months.[4] Greenland sharks have also been found with remains of polar bear and reindeer in their stomachs. The shark is colonized by the parasitic copepod Ommatokoita elongata that eats the shark's corneal tissue, but also helps to attract prey through bioluminescence.[5]
Greenland sharks as food
The flesh of a Greenland shark is poisonous. This is due to the presence of the toxin trimethylamine oxide, which, upon digestion, breaks down into trimethylamine, producing effects similar to extreme drunkenness. Occasionally, sled dogs that end up eating the flesh are unable to stand up due to the neurotoxins. Similar toxic effects occur with the related Pacific sleeper shark, but not in most other shark species, whose meat is often consumed fresh.[6] This was used as the basis of an attempted murder of the British Prime Minister in the fictional story: The Jimmy Coates Series.
However, it can be eaten if it is boiled in several changes of water or dried or fermented for some months to produce Kæstur Hákarl, often Hákarl for short. Traditionally this was done by burying the shark in boreal ground, exposing it to several cycles of freezing and thawing. It is considered a delicacy in Iceland and Greenland.
Inuit legends
The shark is not considered to be dangerous to humans, though there are Inuit legends of the fish attacking kayaks.[7]
The Greenland shark's poisonous flesh has a high urea content, which gave rise to the Inuit legend of Skalugsuak, the first Greenland shark.[8] The legend says that an old woman washed her hair in urine and dried it with a cloth. The cloth blew into the ocean to become Skalugsuak.[9]
Another legend is that of Sedna, a girl whose father cut off her fingers while drowning her. Each finger was said to have become a sea creature, including the Greenland shark.[9][10]
The Greenland Shark and Elasmobranch Education and Research Group (GEERG) has been studying the Greenland shark in the Saguenay Fjord and St. Lawrence Estuary since 2001. The Greenland shark has repeatedly been documented (captured or washed ashore) in the Saguenay since at least 1888.[11] Accidental captures and strandings have also been recorded in the St. Lawrence Estuary for over a century.
Current research conducted by GEERG involves the study of the behaviour of the Greenland shark by observing it underwater using scuba and video equipment and by placing acoustic and satellite tags (telemetry) on live specimens; however, overall very little is known about this mysterious species.
There is now an argument suggesting that the Greenland is responsible for 'Seal Ripping' attacks on grey seals.[12] These attacks cause a corkscrew pattern of cuts and tears which spiral around a seal's body, following the grain of the collagen within the muscles and running at 45 degrees to the seal's body. Seal deaths have been occurring over larger territories, including the north and east coasts of the UK, which suggests that the Greenland may be moving beyond its traditional habitat range. However, recent research into the UK "corkscrew" seal deaths by the Sea Mammal Research Unit [13] concluded that the UK seal deaths were unlikely to have been caused by predation from the Greenland shark, rather being caused by blunt mechanical trauma "consistent with the seals being drawn through a ducted propeller" that are found on many ships.

GRAND RAPIDS -- Mark Harger Jr. plans to study political science at one of the state's public universities but, this fall, he is among the record enrollment at Grand Rapids Community College.
"It seems like the way to go," the 19-year-old Rockford resident said. "I know it's a different college experience than some people will have, but the community college is a good way to save some money and still get a good education."
Experts said the state's troubled economy is one of the reasons Michigan universities -- and especially community colleges -- are drawing record numbers of students.
But they said schools soon will have to decide whether the growth will be permanent and spark expansion of buildings and programs, or just a bump as people gain skills for new jobs.
GRCC's 17,920 is a 5.5 percent increase over last fall, and Ferris State University in Big Rapids saw a 3.6 percent jump. Grand Valley State and Western Michigan universities experienced smaller increases.
Cornerstone University's 8.1 percent increase was tops among the region's private schools, while Calvin, Hope and Kuyper colleges reported slight drops.
Total public university enrollment across the state is rising between 1 and 2 percent, said Michael Boulus, executive director of the Presidents Council, State Universities of Michigan.
Boulus said the number of first-time college students is up, but a bigger gain seems to be among older students.
"I think the culture in Michigan has finally changed," he said. "People are finally starting to realize that without some sort of college credential -- be it a two- or four-year degree -- they have no future."
Boulus said older students are especially growing in eastern Michigan, where underemployed or out-of-work former auto workers are looking to gain skills they need to find new or better jobs.
Many of those workers also are heading to the state's 28 community colleges. Most are seeing enrollment increases, although some in more far-flung places such as Alpena are leveling off, in part because the number of people living there has declined, said Michael Hansen, president of the Michigan Community College Association.
But the community colleges might be getting to the point where they can't grow much more without a corresponding boost in state aid for new equipment and buildings, he said.
"Some of the schools are going to have to start making tough decisions," he said. "Long term, are we looking at an enrollment bubble, or is this going to be the new normal? If that's so, you have to start adding infrastructure, services and other things to accommodate that growth. But that's a risky proposition."
Most West Michigan colleges and universities have enrollment increases this fall.
Public universities, colleges:
Grand Rapids Community: 17,920 | +5.5 percent
Grand Valley: 24,541 | +0.5 percent
Ferris: 14,381 | +3.6 percent
Western: 25,045 | +1.9 percent
Private universities, colleges:
Aquinas: 2,183 | +1.1 percent
Calvin: 3,991 -2.4 percent Cornerstone 3,054 | +8.1 percent
Davenport: 11,827 | +2.8 percent
Grace Bible: 207 | +7 percent
Hope: 3,202 | -0.9 percent
Kuyper: 341 | -1.5 percent
Source: Colleges and universities
GRCC has been able to add students and programs by buying the former Davenport University campus on Fulton Street, said Diane Patrick, assistant dean of enrollment services.
A revamped building in Holland and satellite programs in the suburbs allows the college to meet some of the increased demand.
But leaders have said the school will need financial help before long, since state aid and property taxes have been flat or dropping, forcing a greater reliance on tuition to cover costs.
The economy also is believed to be a factor in slight enrollment drops in area private schools, which usually have more expensive tuition.
Calvin's 2.4 percent drop brings the college to 3,991 students after topping out at 4,224 in 2007.
Spokesman Matt Kucinski said the school dropped by about 100 students in the fall 2008 semester, and officials at the time blamed the economy.
"The last three years have been stable, but we've never made up that 100-student decrease," he said. "The economy is the most easily understood obstacle, but we're looking to see if there are any other factors out there that are stunting growth."
Cornerstone University is looking at its largest enrollment jump since 2000, with 3,054 students, including those in graduate and seminary programs.
"This is not atypical for what you'd expect to see in a recession," said Bob Sack, Cornerstone's executive vice president of communications. "People return to college to finish a degree or earn an advanced degree to improve their career potential."
Non-traditional students accounted for the largest increase, many attending satellite sites in Zeeland, Muskegon and Lansing.
The total undergraduate enrollment of 1,271 students is Cornerstone's largest since 2006.
Sack said the totals reflect improved retention and the effects of increased recruitment efforts over the past three years.

That in my mind is very impressive. Only Adelina Sotnikova was disappointing, but I think she will come back strongly next season once she has overcome her growth spurt. She had a disappointing season, the season before last, after a growth spurt, but then fought back last season to win the junior GPF and the junior world championships. That tells me that she is a fighter who has the ability to come back from a bad season.

As far as Flint Beecher coach Mike Williams is concerned, Muskegon Western Michigan Christian is a defending state champion.
Never mind the fact that the Warriors can't win another Class D crown, because the school grew in enrollment and moved up to Class C this season.
Williams doesn't define the Buccaneers' opponent by the size of the schools it beat to win the last three Class D titles. He defines the Warriors by the three championships and their 29 consecutive victories in state tournament play.
So far, the move to Class C hasn't slowed the Western Michigan Christian express.
The Warriors have had more close calls along the way than in the past, but are still alive and ready to face Beecher in the state Class C quarterfinals at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Mount Pleasant.
Beecher can relate to Western Michigan Christian. The Buccaneers have no trouble moving up to play larger schools during the regular season, routinely beating quality Class A and B competition.
"I don't think class matters," Williams said. "If a kid can play, he can play. We play several Class A teams, and we've had some success. What it boils down to is personnel and match-ups. It doesn't matter if you play Class D. I watched them last year. They could've beaten a lot of Class A teams last year with the team they had. I don't think class is going to factor into it."
At the state level, winning is winning, as far as Williams is concerned.
"They have that tournament experience and a winning tradition," he said. "That can be worth a few points when you get into a ball game, because they expect to win. They're not coming in thinking about losing."
The Warriors have heard all season that they can't compete against the bigger schools in Class C. That has only served as additional motivation for this tournament-tested group.
"A lot of people didn't give us any respect," Western Michigan Christian coach Jim Goorman told the Muskegon Chronicle. "It's really satisfying to say that we belong up there, and whatever we do from here on, we belong in Class C. We're something to contend with."
This game will boil down to a match-up between the Warriors' size and the Buccaneers' quickness. Western Michigan Christian start 6-foot-5 senior Omari Lewis, 6-4 freshman Bernard Smith and 6-4 senior Zach Buter. Burris scored 21 points in last year's state championship game.
Beecher is led by sophomore guard Monte Morris, who averages 18.0 points, 6.8 assists, 6.1 rebounds and 2.4 steals.
The Buccaneers will be playing a quarterfinal game at Mount Pleasant for the fourth straight year. They beat Grandville Calvin Christian 71-67 in overtime in 2008, lost 58-56 to Montague in 2009 and beat Grandville Calvin Christian 64-57 in 2010.
"We're very familiar with our surroundings," Williams said. "That will help. You don't walk into a gym you've never seen before and wonder what the lighting might be. We know the size of the floor. In that sense, it's comforting. We can't just rest on the fact we have experience. Our kids understand they're 32 minutes away from taking another trip back to the Breslin. That will be more of a motivating factor, the fact you're so close to getting back to where you were disappointed last year."
The winner will play Negaunee (20-5) or McBain (23-2) in the state semifinals at 2:50 p.m. Thursday at the Breslin Center in East Lansing.

RUMOR: Gianfranco Ferré to be saved by Dubai's Paris Group
Bankrupt Italian fashion house Gianfranco Ferré is now rumored to be getting a new savior, Dubai-based fashion retail company Paris Group, after the deal with Samsung Group fell through late last year. WWD claims to have spoken to a source close to the deal, who assured that "This is a real offer, they are very keen."
Paris Group, who already operates two Gianfranco Ferré stores in the emirate – one in BurJuman and the other at the Dubai Mall – owns some 250 stores across the UAE and holds licenses to represent a number of key fashion brands in the country, including Versace, Cerruti, Pierre Cardin and Balmain.
The Milan-based house does indeed need saving, and if there's one brand that we would like to see outlive us, it's Gianfranco Ferré. The designer behind the label was regarded as the architect of fashion and we don't want that legacy to vanish into thin air just because of some money issues. So it's good news that Paris Group is "very keen", as the Milan-based source says, on keeping that legacy alive.
But it is important to know that Paris Group is the company behind the all-year-round sales at Balmain, Pierre Cardin, Verri and Ted Lapidus, among many other stores they operate in the UAE. Yes, those 75% discount offers that really attract your attention during your first few days in Dubai, whether as a tourist or a new resident, and then make you wonder as time goes by if they would ever end, because, theoretically, no business can possibly offer tremendous markdowns throughout the entire year and live to tell the tale.
According to a report published by Gulf News in 2009, the company is a licensee of these brands, which means they "can produce the clothes themselves, be it hand-crafted in a workshop in Paris or mass produced in a factory in China," the GN article said. "Industry insiders believe [they can offer enormous discounts] because they mass produce the apparel in factories cheaply, and the business model is one where they would never intend to sell the product at full price, attracting customers who believe they are saving money," it added.
This 75% off deal that runs 365 days a year is said to have had a detrimental effect on said brands, making it difficult for consumers to associate them with the notion of luxury and exclusivity. Barbara Somogyiova, director of foreign sales at LIST, an Italian fashion brand franchised in the region by the Kamal Osman Jamjoon Group, said "she believes licensees offering discounts as heavily as 75 per cent on top end fashion labels is extremely damaging to the mother company," in the Gulf News report.
So, again we ask, is it good news that Gianfranco Ferré is allegedly going to be saved by the company? No one knows for sure, but one can only hope that the brand's prestige continues to live on.

System calls
I am working on visual c++ 6.0.I have to compile and execute a program using system calls.(system command).Main program is compiling a program file using tcc system command.
The program is compiling without any errors or warnings but in my output window command prompt is appearing stopping the further execution.
help me?
Re: System calls
Would you mind sharing the code which you think is aborting abnormally?
Re: System calls
Thanks 4r replying.
Actually I am working on the code which has to transfer files 4m one system to another.In main program i created a thread to accept that program file and then compile&run using TCC command.then i have to send the result file back to the system which sent that program file.
Everything is wrking is fine but after compiling program file it is just coming out of the main thread.
Re: System calls
In TCC I am not sure how you are doing a thread. If you have the thread you should wait for the thread to end before you proceed to end in main.
Re: System calls
ya ur right,but the thread in which we r compiling is killing not only that thread but also the main thread also.
here after compiling it is returning to the command prompt.(no further execution)
Re: System calls
Can anyone help me?
I am working on visual c++6.0.(windows socket programming).I have 2 transfer the files from one system to another.I am using threads for this(CreateThread()).
The problem is i am not able to transfer all files,only some files are transferred.also different files are transferred each time i run.(file 1, 2,6 first time i run and files 2 4 7 transferred next time i run)
If i am using debugging mode i.e using f10 all files are transferred.
What is the problem?
Re: System calls
The problem looks like is with the timing.
Re: System calls
I forgot to mention one thing ,actually i'm passing the structure to the thread that trnsfers the file. this structure contains the information about the file.only some part of the structure is received by the thread,but other information is vanishing.I donot know how?
Re: System calls
Read Shabbir's post #2. You're looking at the code and you can't figure it out, but you want someone else to do it in the dark?

Try a NEW activity every week!
Have you ever been snowshoeing? Have you ever cooked sushi?
I am a firm believer in trying to find new things every week to enjoy! I'll go to a comedy show, or go see the Silver Knights soccer team play – just to try something new. You never know if you'll like something if you don't even give it a chance! Sometimes, I might not be so hot on the activity (especially making sushi – just buy it!) but other times, it's cool to push yourself out of your comfort zone and try something new!
This weekend, my "chance" was given to ice fishing. Some of my friends are avid ice fishers, and this weekend was the Erieville Ice Fishing Derby – so I figured I'd give it a try. First of all, to prepare I had so many layers on you couldn't tell if I was a lady or a man. Long johns, sweat pants, snow pants (or the intention of, but that's a whole other story) hoodies, coats, gloves, scarves – I was going to be in the cold for hours in the middle of a lake, I needed to be prepared! Walking on the ice is the first challenge – slipping, drudging through the 8+ inches of snow we got the day before, it seemed like the set-up was miles away. Thankfully I had some experienced ice fishermen with me who wanted to teach me how to do it. I got to learn all about baiting the line, hooking the fish, and most importantly – beers in a can make a slushy almost instantly while ice fishing.
After two hours of sitting, literally staring at a hole (with only one bite) I came up empty handed. The other fishermen I was with did catch a couple. Here's a picture of my friend with a small mount bass (unfortunately out of season so it went back into the lake)
I must admit, I did spend a good hour of the time on the ice in a nice heated shelter … it still counts, right? I had a pole in the lake for two hours!
Here's the important factor (at least for me), it's not the activity itself that makes something enjoyable, it's the company you keep.
Go out and try something new this week!

Zab Judah wasn't lying when he said Matthyse hits the hardest he's ever faced
Zab was on interviwew after his fight with Matthyse and gave nothing but props to Lucas and kepy saying how Mattshye is the hardest puncher he's ever faced hands down.
Matthyse hits like a mule @ 140, to the body and head with both hands. He's very solid fundemtnally too, great chin, great stamina.
I keep trying to tell people this guy is the top 140 lber in the division and he will get his time. No more BS 10 round fights in Alexander hometown, LUcas is here to stay. A great fighter.

Introducing iMovie to Mrs. Clark's Class
Intro to iMovie Sorry folks. I almost got ahead of myself. The video will be posted as soon as we have the signed permission slips.
Production Notes:
This week I introduced Mrs. Clark's 5th grade class to iMovie and our video project for the year. We talked about the importance of writing and how images are chosen to go hand in hand with the script. We viewed a movie without sound and tried to figure out what it was about. Then we listened to another movie without any video the see if we could imagine the pictures we would see.
I introduced them to the concept of A-roll and B-roll film and discussed interview techniques with them. We talked about the role of the interviewer and the importance of prepping the interviewee to respond with full sentences as if they were telling a story, rather than a short response in answer to a question.
We then did some impromptu interviews and as the class watched, I used iMovie to edit them. Later that day I came back and shot some B-roll footage. Next week, we'll discuss this video and see if the students can suggest ways of making it better. Your comments are certainly welcomed at any time.

Episode Description:
Martin Aylward continues his discussion with us how we can bring forth a more relevant, relational, and potent form of contemporary dharma practice. He begins by exploring the tendency for Western practitioners to rely too much on retreat practice, instead of on the juice that comes from their daily lives, and the need to work more skillfully with our everyday experience.
In particular he highlights the areas of money and sex, as being areas of our lives that have a lot of charge, and yet are usually nominalized in dharma teachings. In 2010 Martin will be leading a special urban-based retreat (or sandwich retreat) entitled Work, Sex, Money, Dharma that deals specifically with these parts of our human experience, in the hopes that we can create a practice of awakening that includes every aspect of our lives.
This is part 2 of a two part series. Listen to part 1, Freestyle Awakening
Episode Links:
Vince: Recently we spoke to Rodney Smith. He's the guiding teacher of the Seattle Insight group…
Martin: Yeah, yeah, I know him well.
Vince: Okay, great. And he's also focusing on something like freestyle Buddhism, or he's calling it "Urban Dharma," but we talked to him a little bit about how that view, that approach, that retreat life, and life-life are not separate, that they're part parcel of what we do, how that view has really changed the mechanics or the forms of how their community operates. And, I know on the one hand we're trying to maintain this kind of paradox really of letting the forms arise and being open to intuition and just like you're talking to this freestyle mentality, but on the other hand it seems like there have been some real changes to the form of how you specifically teach and how Rodney teaches when you have that view, and I was wondering if we could maybe explore some of that piece.
You talked a little about already, about the relational quality of some of your retreats, where people get a chance to talk. Could you say more about some of the specific ways that you've noticed the forms changing with that attitude?
Martin: Sure. And first I think it's important to say that there's something profound and wonderful and vital about the kind of retreat model. It's not… I don't want to in any way suggest a kind of dismissal of that for something that's kind of freer and wilder and something else. And I think it's entirely appropriate, actually, that at least within the vipassana tradition, there's been a whole generation where that was the main focus: establishing centers, and ways of teaching, and a whole bunch of skillful means around retreats, that people have the opportunity, in kind of intensive silent retreat practice, to really get a taste for the depths of meditation. But, then we easily get kind of fixated.
I'm shocked sometimes to see how much the vipassana students are fixated on retreats as where their real practice is, and then the middle bit, of kind of the rest of your life, becomes a kind of limping along, with ever decreasing amounts of awareness until you can kind of go back and plug in to retreat again. We get very good instructions on a meditation retreat, but you might be there for a week, or ten days, and get very excellent, precise instructions for how to work with your mind and how different varieties of ways that it shows up. And then at the end of the retreat, you might get one single instruction for the whole of the rest of your life, which is go forth and be mindful, basically. Which is good advice, but it's not sophisticated enough for the rest of life.
So in a more engaged relational practice, I myself working with people, I've found there to be three main ways to support awareness in daily life. Again, firstly, the problem is when silent retreats are your reference for what it's like to be mindful, or to be aware, you're kind of referencing that within the very rarified and refined conditions of a retreat, where there's very little external stimulation, where quite naturally body settles and mind settles. There's a degree of clarity and steadiness of the mind, which may not be available, or which will not be available, all the time in daily life. So if you're measuring yourself against that, you're kind of bound to find yourself lacking in capacity a lot, which is really a shame.
So the three things are firstly just body-based awareness, coming back to sensing your body, to knowing what's actually happening in your field of awareness and that kind of sphere of your own presence, moment-by-moment. The kind of energetic contractions, the emotional life, the way you're kind of invested in, or kind of leaning into, or resisting and moving away from what's happening. What I sometimes call the three Ds of… Ah, now I can't remember them [laughs]… demands, distraction, and defenses. That kind of corresponds to greed, hatred, and delusion. Making demands of life, in that kind of greedy, compulsive way; or defending against what's happening, a kind of hatred or rejection of that; or distraction, a kind of turning around, a kind of confused, unfocused way. So, just really using your body as a kind of antenna, as the organ of consciousness, cause that's where you get to recognize the most immediate, visceral impact of your moment-to-moment experience.
The second aspect working with people is often with their own tendency to doubt themselves, to criticize themselves, undermine themselves, and measure their practice in a really unhelpful way. So, we tend to measure our meditation in terms of the quality of the meditation practice, and again, it's easy to find that kind of lacking in terms of our memories of retreat and of maybe deeper meditation. But, actually something quite mysterious happens around just the willingness to meditate. I often say to people the most important moment of meditation is the moment you actually commit to doing it. The fact that you orientate towards awareness, that you sit yourself down, and it's very interesting that you might sit yourself down every day and have restless mind states, dull mind states, distracted mind states, and that you look out back over a few months of distraction, restlessness, and sleepiness, and you find "wow, something's changed." Somehow there's more spaciousness, more capacity to abide with what's happening than there was earlier on. So the measure of meditation is not in the quality of the mediation, as you have just experienced it in that half hour sitting; the only real measure of it is in the changing degree of spaciousness and sensitivity and care and the way our minds transform in that way. And so just, you know part of that is just really supporting people and kind of acknowledging the value of their practice, the goodness of their heart, their willingness to really undertake a practice of freedom and awakening, even if, and in fact especially if, much of the time it feels like hard work. There's a lot of goodness in that willingness to do that.
And the third aspect in supporting people is kind of what happens emotionally when you're practicing in a relational field; when you're practicing freedom and awakening in contact with people, intimate relationships, working relationships, social relationships and all that gets stirred up in that. What we find ourselves wanting from others, what we find ourselves afraid of in others, what we find ourselves judging in others, or in ourselves in relating to others, and that's a whole piece where I think having a teacher to explore with, and relate to, and discuss that stuff with is really crucial in a way that's not really available in retreat. Cause what's happening in retreat is different, it's not getting stirred up in the same way, cause you're not in a relational field in the same way as you are in your life. And that's actually where I found Skype to be so great because it means I can stay in touch with people between retreats in the midst of their lives, meeting them in the evening and exploring together.
Vince: So, yeah, one thing that you do is Skype-based individual group calls. How does it work with a group? That sounds pretty interesting.
Martin: Yeah, well, particularly with London Insight we've been doing that for the last year or so, so we meet every three weeks or so. I think I'm either on a biggish screen or maybe projected on the wall in the house…
Vince: [Laughs] Nice.
Martin: …and they're kind of sitting together in front of the screen, and so I offer a guided meditation, a little bit, some reflection for twenty minutes. That's the bit that's a little harder for me, because they're kind of a slightly pixilated, amorphous bunch in front of the screen so I can't quite tell how things are landing in the same way as if I was in the room, but okay. And then after some reflections, people may have questions or things they want to explore from what I've said, and then the person will just come up and sit in front of the webcam.
One of the things that's very beautiful in that, and this is particularly noticeable working one-to-one with people, is how as we really listen to each other and as you kind of tune in to the various cues and the changes in breath that you can hear, and the intimacy of that, listening in headphones you can't often hear quite subtle changes in breathing, is how the sense of the shared field of presence can be every bit as tangible as if we're sitting face-to-face in the middle of a retreat. And you know, sometimes we're separated, like you and I are now, by thousands of kilometers, and different time-zones, and all the rest of it, and yet there's an immediacy and an inner interpenetration of their kind of fields of awareness there. That's tangible and beautiful, you know, it's a teaching in itself about interconnection. I think I wrote to you when we first spoke, it's like one thinks of Indra's Net. And even in its sound, that's pretty similar to internet. And the internet is actually an extraordinary example of that kind of everything being inter-related and kind of mutually reflecting.
Vince: Interesting. It's so interesting to hear a Dharma teacher share that kind of perspective on technology, because so often, even with the teachers I deeply love and appreciate, they just don't seem to get that. And I think it's a generational thing most of the time, but I feel kind of like, "Oh man, they're really not in touch with the beauty of that medium," which is changing so quickly, and which is becoming, at least in my experience and how you're describing it, more dynamic and more interconnected, and more real in a way. So, thank you for sharing that kind of perspective because I feel sometimes that it's kind of dissed in the Dharma world a little bit.
Martin: Yeah. Well I think it is a generational thing. There's just that particular movement of the mind, as we get older. That newer things seem kind of complicated. And so you know, Dharma teachers don't seem to be exempt from that. As you get older, this stuff about how the internet somehow is stopping people from having real conversations or something. You know, that kind of thing.
I'm really interested, you know there's a quote by Lao Tzu, who was an exact contemporary of the Buddha. So living two and a half thousand years ago in rural China. And when he was an old man, he wrote: "When I was younger, life moved more slowly. People had time for each other. Nowadays, everything moves so quickly. Everything's so complicated, people don't have time for each other." And such and such. And you know, that's two and a half thousand years ago in China.
So one has to ask well, has life been constantly getting more and more crazy and complicated, and people having less and less time for each other over those two and a half thousand years? Or is it that there's that tendency of mind as we get older, to look back and idealize something from our own memory as being simpler, and then kind of apply that to the outside world. And so that can happen in any generation, and it can happen around anything.
It can happen around whatever was going on in Lao Tzu's world, it can certainly happen around the internet, seeming like all that's sort of complicated, all that's taking us away from ourselves. Rather than just being, you know, the latest tool just like a plow was the latest tool that made things really helpful for human beings. In Lao Tzu's time, whatever it was.
Vince: Yeah. Thank you, that's a really interesting perspective. You know, one other interesting form that you are exploring and I wanted to ask a little bit about is, in London next year you're doing a retreat where there's over the weekend an intensive period and then getting together with people in the evenings, throughout the rest of the week. So that gets them going to their jobs and so on, but they'd still be involved in this retreat. That sounded really interesting.
Martin: Yeah, and I'm kind of excited about that. It's called Work, Sex, Money, Dharma. And the idea behind it, to give people an opportunity to explore and have teachings and look at those areas of their life while being kind of embedded in their relational lives and their working lives, etc. Rather than removing themselves and being in the kind of retreat environment, where those things aren't getting stimulated so much.
Yeah, we do have the two full days of the weekends to introduce a little material, if you like, and then Monday through Friday we'll meet in the evenings. And see what people are noticing about the impact of how they are around money, how they are around sexuality, how they are around the stuff of their life. And so there's this sort of support of the retreat contained throughout those seven days. But they're also staying really engaged with their lives. So that's the first time I'll do that, and I hope I'll have as much fun as people who come.
Vince: Nice. And how are you inspired to try this out? Where did this come from
Martin: Well I guess that's the freestyle…[laughs]…where I'll be making it up as I go along.
Vince: Nice, nice. So this is kind of an original thought, like let's try this and see what happens.
Martin: I think the form of doing something, like something at a weekend and then through the evenings…
Vince: Yeah.
Martin: …I don't think that's particularly new. I've heard it referred to as a "Sandwich Retreat."
Vince: Okay.
Martin: Or like both weekends, and then people having some kind of continuity in evenings through the week. But, I guess what we want to do with that is that the material, the content of that retreat is very specifically focused on the bits that don't normally get that much attention.
Vince: Right, right.
Martin: You know, I heard somebody say recently when I was giving a talk about sexuality, they said "oh, I've been doing retreats for fifteen years, but that's the first Dharma talk I've ever heard about sex. And you know similarly with money…
Vince: Yeah.
Martin: …we talk about money a little bit at the end when we're saying about dana, and often that's cloaked in something about "oh, it's about generosity and purity of the tradition," but basically what we're saying is "please support us…"
Vince: Yeah.
Martin: To take those two examples, sex and money, if they're not really being brought fully into awareness, something's going to get lost, Vince, because I don't know about you, but sex and money and how those things get a grip on my mind, you know these things take up space…
Vince: Yeah.
Martin: …they really need some attention.
Vince: No doubt. They take up a lot of RAM. [Laughs]
Martin: [Laughing] Right.
Vince: No, just as you were describing it, I was just imagining what it would be like to bring in the content of my life from work and from my sexual life and from my financial life and into a kind of retreat-esque environment. I was thinking "wow that would be weird!" So that's interesting.
Martin: So that says something, that it would seem like a weird thing…
Vince: It totally does.
Martin: …to bring the stuff that actually really occupies a lot of space…
Vince: Yeah.
Martin: …and actually really has a lot of charge around it, and is actually the stuff where you get caught up a lot of the time, and then we say "oh, well to bring that into my spiritual practice, that would be strange." Jeez! It's pretty strange not to have a spiritual practice that's supposed to transform your life and yet won't bring that stuff in.
Vince: Yeah, it's funny, I felt like I've needed to look to other methods, other philosophies, other teachings, to work with those and then kind of almost cobble those things together, that they're not naturally interrelated. So, yeah, it is really interesting that you're really trying to create a container that brings those things intimately together. That's cool.
Martin: Yeah.
Vince: I'm excited. I wish I were there in London. Yeah, I wish I were there in March to check it out. And can people find out about that at londoninsight.org?
Martin: Yeah. I guess… I think we just registered worksexmoneydharma.org, and Rohan just gave me a little flip video camera to record a piece to put on that website. There's not so much stuff up about it yet, but pretty soon if you Google "work sex money dharma," I reckon… well, who knows what might come up. [Laughs] But you'll probably be able to find out about it through that.
Vince: And then, just in closing I wondered if you had anything else kind of around these topics that you felt like didn't get touched on, and didn't get discussed that you wanted to bring up before we closed.
Martin: I guess, what's been most helpful in my own practice, aside from the kind of richness of meditation, has been to really bring as much awareness as I could to what I've been calling a relational life. To what happens with these other kind of dreaded human beings that we're in touch with. Because, I noticed after some years of meditation and so much of my understanding and reactivity that seemed to have gotten really, really moved through and changed and transformed and let go of in certain ways. But, there seemed to be just as much, a bunch of patterns of how I would relate to others, particularly those close to me, that the same kinds of reactive patterning were going on that hadn't really got changed.
So, I guess what I most want to say is let's not compartmentalize our practice in any way. But let's wake up to anything that we've put somehow outside of our practice. Anything that our practice doesn't include, that's where we need to look. That's what this slightly provocative kind of title of Work, Sex, Money, Dharma really means. It's about let's bring in all of the stuff where we actually get caught and make that part of our living practice of freedom and awakening.

DECATUR, Alabama -- A trafficking arrest this week led Morgan County and Limestone County narcotics agents to a discovery of illegal pain killers in a Decatur storage shed on Thursday.
A release from the Morgan County Sheriff's Office states that they received information from Limestone agents after 37-year-old Agapito Peter Gomez was arrested for trafficking after he was caught with more than 130 pounds of marijuana. They learned that there may be more marijuana in a storage unit at Guardian Self-Storage in Decatur.
Agents found 210 80-milligram oxycodone pills packaged for re-sale in the storage unit. The sheriff's office states that the pills have a street value of almost $17,000.
Agents are also obtaining oxycodone trafficking warrants for Gomez, who is in the Limestone County Jail on more than $500,000 in bonds, according to the release.

Here are a few quick hits:
On the quarterback race:
(Auburn will have seven quarterbacks on campus when fall practice begins...)
He said it's a ``unique dynamic."
``All of the sudden you have some young guys on campus. When you haven't locked it down, it means everybody'' has a chance. ``Obviously, people with experience probably have a little bit of a leg up. It'll be interesting, but it's an interesting dynamic.''
(Gold Mine advice: Don't make too much of that answer.)
On pressure of coaching:
``When you get into this profession, there's pressure everywhere. There's no more pressure put on Auburn football than what I put on our kids and myself. We put enough pressure on ourselves to be great.''
``We've set the foundation on what we want to do. The pressure is going to be there no matter what school you are at.''
On his low-key approach:
``What gets you attention is when you win. This isn't about me. It's about Auburn.
Over all the years, when Auburn has gotten attention, it's because they've done something positive. That's what we want to do.''
On the reluctance to project how freshmen will do.
``I'm reluctant to talk about young players. I can't comment on it this early. We haven't even had a practice yet.
On the SEC West:
``It's not like SEC West championships are strangers to Auburn.''
On whether he voted Tim Tebow the All-SEC quarterback.
Yes, he did.

Cumberland County College anthropology students will present a series of monologues that capture the context of America during the height of the country's civil rights movement in the 1950s and '60s.
Part of the college's One Book-One College reading campaign, the event takes place Wednesday, April 9, beginning at 2 p.m. in the theatre of the Guaracini Performing Arts Center, Sherman Avenue and College Drive.
Admission to the event is free and the public is welcomed.
This year's book selection, "A Mighty Long Way: My Journey to Justice at Little Rock Central High School" by Carlotta Walls LaNier, is a memoir of one of the nation's most significant civil rights battles.
Cumberland County College students will bring history to life as they recreate scenes of historical significance from the turbulent era in which the book was written.
In September 1957, a 14-year-old Carlotta Walls and eight other black students walked up the stairs of Little Rock Central High School to get to class.
But the journey of the "Little Rock Nine," as they came to be known, would lead the nation on an even longer and much more turbulent path — one that would challenge prevailing attitudes, break down barriers, and forever change the landscape of American education.
The student actors will recreate the tone of the times by describing their "memories" of historic experiences, such as school integration; lunch counter sit-ins; voting registration and the use of poll taxes, literacy tests and whites-only primaries; Ku Klux Klan violence; and the Freedom Rides.
"Hi, there,
"Patrons at Cumberland County Library can now access hoopla digital, a new service that enables card holders to enjoy on-demand content from their smartphones, tablets, PCS and Apple TV without waiting to borrow.
