INDIANAPOLIS - When attempting to sort through the punishment for Penn State in the Jerry Sandusky scandal, the NCAA didn't apply the "death penalty" for one simple reason - it would not have been severe enough, NCAA president Mark Emmert said.
The death penalty was invoked in 1987, when Southern Methodist University's football program was suspended for the season and received other sanctions, such as scholarship limits and bowl bans. (SMU decided to also sit out the 1988 season.)
"I think one of the mischaracterizations out there is these penalties are coming instead of the death penalty," Emmert said during Monday's news conference at NCAA headquarters. "That is a false assumption."

Q:Good afternoon. I received most of my order that I placed recently including this Spa Day Directional Sign. I think I misunderstood when I reached out to someone here about this product before ordering it. I thought "cut outs" came with it for me to personalize this for my daughters Birthday. For example, I thought I'd use a cut out to add the directional arrow on. Can you please advise if I can just order new wording signs customized for how I need the arrows? We have time since her party is October 12th. Thank you in advance, Tracy

A:Unfortunately, this item is as shown and cannot be personalized.

HockeyyInsiderr has broken the news of almost every big signing or trade before the mainstream guys 9/10 times. He blew it with Suter and Parise but otherwise hes been on point.
Those were the two biggest free agent stories of the summer and he got them both embarrassingly wrong. I also saw him claim credit for breaking another deal even though he tweeted the info about 5 hours after Darren Dreger. The guy is a joke.

Twenty-four years ago audiences swooned over the romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally. Centuries before that they hung breathless on the tribulations of young love in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. But now Hollywood is facing a dilemma: can rom-coms be saved from becoming just brainless flops devoid of emotion — zom-coms?
Box-office figures suggest that audiences have fallen out of love with the rom-com. Only four made it on to the list of the Top 100 earning films in the US last year, and they included The Five-Year Engagement, which languished in 96th place, and Silver Linings Playbook, which garnered

Informed of the news by Rice and athletic director Tim Pernetti earlier today, Cox is in full support of Rice and confident in his own ability to lead the program on an interim basis.
"We're going to move forward," Cox said. "As a team this is a time for us to come together. Mike Rice is the reason many of us are here, obviously including myself, so we support him 100 percent." As Cox described it, Rutgers is missing its figurehead but has no intentions of falling apart in his absence.
"We're without our captain, the chief, the pilot, the head of the ship," Cox said. "… He has apologized and we will learn from this. As a team we're going to move forward from this and be prepared for our game on Sunday against UAB."
Cox and team leaders Myles Mack and Austin Johnson all stated they have no issue with the way Rice runs his practices. Rice brings intensity, but it is something everyone expected when joining the program.
"I was very shocked," Johnson said. "I feel like me and my teammates were all very shocked. We need to rebound quickly and just turn around. … Even if it was high intensity, we reciprocate it and try to give it back."
Cox compared his demeanor to coaches such as Bobby Knight, John Thompson and John Chaney.
"Being here with coach Rice, I would say he's just as intense and as passionate," Cox said. "I think times have changed and we probably, as coaches and adults, we have to come a little bit further to meet some of these young men that we're working with.
Cox ran his first practice as a head coach today, as the team prepares for a noon tip against UAB Sunday at the Louis Brown Athletic Center. "I just want to be more vocal for these guys," said Mack, a team captain. "I know coach Cox is a calm guy. I just want to be more vocal and get players where they need to be."

Gov. Bobby Jindal announced this afternoon that Peggy Hatch will be the next secretary of the state Department of Environmental Quality after the announcement by Harold Leggett that he will resign Jan. 15 to pursue work in the private sector.
A staff member of DEQ since 1990, Hatch is the assistant secretary for the Office of Environmental Compliance and has overseen surveillance, emergency response, radiological services and enforcement activities.
Before being appointed to the top DEQ post by Jindal in 2008, Leggett was an assistant secretary at the regulatory agency. He is a former environmental engineer for Gulf South Pipeline Co. in Covington. He also served as a senior manager of HLA, an environmental consulting company in Zachary.
Rodney Mallett, a spokesman for the agency, said Leggett's decision was in part based on a wish to spend more time with family.
"He's been reflecting on how the job resulted in him not spending much time with his family and his family has always been important to him," Mallett said.
Marylee Orr, executive director of the Louisiana Environmental Action Network, an umbrella organization for more than 100 local environmental groups in the state, called Leggett's retirement unfortunate, even though her organization has often disagreed with agency decisions.
"He was open to working with environmental groups and all sectors of the public," Orr said. "He worked with us, even though we had disagreements that sometimes rose to the level of litigation."
Orr said she looks forward to working with Hatch. "She's had a lot of experience working with the agency and seems very dedicated to environmental enforcement," Orr said.

On record and in concert Billy Ocean, the romantic balladeer who is putting pillow talk back into pop, comes on like a Loverboy (one of his hits) or maybe the king of the Love Zone (his current LP). He coos about wanting to "kiss you all over, running my hands through your hair." He croons, "Hey, mystery lady, can I spend the night with you?" He ends his concerts whispering the words "I love you." Taken at face value, he says, that sort of thing tends to make people a little "surprised, disappointed even, when they meet me. They expect me to be taller than I am [5'8']. They look for me up there and find me down here. And they expect me to ooze love, to be a sex god. I just laugh and tell 'em I'm very sorry I'm not taller. And I'm not Loverboy. That's just a song I wrote."
What Ocean is is a 36-year-old, mellifluous-voiced, happily married Caribbean-born tenor who regularly seduces audiences by the auditoriumful. He does it with breathy tunes like Love Zone, which is also the title of a single on his million-selling album, with wistful ballads like There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry) and even the upbeat When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going, his hit from the movie The Jewel of the Nile. Ocean needs one more hit on his current record to match the success of his 1985 LP, Suddenly, which sold two million copies and launched four singles, including Caribbean Queen, which won him a Grammy.
Such success is especially satisfying to a singer who, after a decade in the business, was beginning to worry that his career had peaked in 1982 with the hit Nights (Feel Like Getting Down), which Jane Fonda included in her workout video. A series of contract squabbles with a former record label,. together with a bout of writer's block, kept him from recording for most of the next three years. "Things deteriorated to the point where I didn't feel any trust for anyone," says Ocean of the legal quagmire. "I worked myself into a real depression." Personal tragedy struck later that year, when Ocean saw his infant son die moments after birth when a midwife prematurely cut the umbilical cord. The singer retreated to the London town house that he shares with his wife of eight years, Judy, 29, and their children, Cherie, now 7, and Antony, 4. "I didn't want to talk to anybody or see anybody," Ocean says. "I couldn't write. I didn't want to sing. I couldn't do anything, except step back and assess my life."
It was not the life of the average Londoner. Born Leslie Sebastian Charles in Trinidad, Ocean grew up "in the bush," raising chickens, singing in the church choir and listening to his Grenada-born father's funny, rhyming calypso songs. When he was 3, Ocean remembers, he was given "a blue ukulele by a big black woman—I can see her still—wearing a Panama hat and dancing to a marimba. The other kids in the village all had guns to play war. I got a guitar and played calypso."
When Ocean was 9, his family moved to London; four years later he began writing R&B-flavored pop songs. Upon leaving school at 19, he worked as a tailor's apprentice "to please the parents," while spending his nights singing in London pubs and cabarets, where he was billed variously as Joshua, Big Ben and Sam Spade. Finally, inspired by the movie Oceans 11, he adopted his current moniker, which stuck when his first single, On the Run, began getting airplay—and also got him fired by his pop-music-hating boss. Ocean was installing windshield wipers in a Ford plant in 1975 when another single, Love Really Hurts, hit the charts. "I was on the job when I heard that song on Radio Luxembourg. I felt so good, because I knew I was free to leave. So I left."
Ocean had become a moderate success in Britain before his troubles put his career in limbo. Only after discovering "the best therapy in the world, digging and weeding in my garden," did Ocean come around. "Eventually songs began to develop again," he says, "without forcing, by nurturing ideas and letting them grow. Soon I had enough bits and pieces of songs to begin my career all over again. I can't say I'm glad things went the way they did. But I don't think that I was really ready then for the kind of success I'm having now. Those years prepared me."
Now winding up his second tour of the U.S., Ocean is busy deflecting advances from exceptionally outgoing female fans. Of temptation, he says, "I try to stay away from it. I stay alone with my guitar, and I read, and I call my wife almost every day." But some demands must be met. No matter how strenuously he discourages them, some fans "still want to kiss me. There's nothing wrong with it, really. If I had a punk image, they might be spittin' at me. Instead-they come up and start kissin' me. I prefer it that way," he says, "wouldn't you?"

COLUMBIA — The House on Tuesday approved an amended measure allowing the S.C. High School League to continue overseeing middle and high school sports in the state.
Legislators voted 105-1 to put into state law changes the league made to its own rules at its convention in Charleston earlier this month. It appears the 99-year-old league saved itself from extinction.
The league's 207 member schools heard legislators' warning, said Rep. Mike Anthony, D-Union. The retired football coach and athletic director traveled to Charleston to stress to his former colleagues the need to make changes or risk more drastic ones.
"It's been a wake-up call for coaches, athletic directors and principals," he said, noting nearly 500 people attended the March 9 meeting
The measure initially eliminated the independent, dues-paying organization and transferred its duties to the state Education Department, under an athletic commissioner appointed by the state superintendent.
Legislators have long complained about the league and their inability to have any say over decisions involving constituents. But league decisions that knocked defending state football champion Goose Creek out of the playoffs last November prompted bills to get rid of it.
The league's executive committee twice ruled Goose Creek High School had to forfeit all 10 games in which an ineligible player dressed to play. The second decision followed a circuit court judge ordering the league to reconsider.
Anthony said the league's staff can only enforce the competition rules set by the group's members.
Rule changes they approved that would become state law include a range of sanctions and an appeals board appointed by legislators. The board would be a third step for schools unsatisfied with decisions made by the league's commissioner and executive committee. The appellate board's seven members would be appointed from geographic regions, to ensure all areas are represented.
Rep. Bill Crosby said he still thinks the league needs to go. But his attempt to again give its responsibilities to the education superintendent failed, 104-5.
"I don't think all the problems are worked out," said Crosby, R-North Charleston.
The House bill requires another vote before heading to the Senate, which also is considering an elimination bill. That measure is up later this week in a Senate panel, which had postponed a vote until after the league's convention.

indiePub has announced their intention—misguided or not—to bring Bad Bots to PC and Mac as well as iOS and Android devices in early 2013. The retro platform shooter is being developed by award-winning indie creator, Vanni Del Moral, who received Honorable Mention in indiePub's 2012 Independent Propeller Awards competition.
Bad Bots centers around an interstellar grease mechanic named Sam McRae who wakes up from cryogenic hypersleep to discover the ship's robotic crew has been reprogrammed to destroy humans. To make matters worse, the ship has been rerouted on an explosive collision course with Earth…which makes one wonder what's the point of destroying the humans before then, but we did say that these are bad bots.
Sam will use brute force to hack and blast his way through the onslaught to find a way to prevent a potential planet-destroying catastrophe.
Bad Bots will be available Q1 2013 for PC (Windows), Mac, iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad) and Android devices. Learn more by liking the Bad Bots Facebook page.

By this point last summer I was overrun with zucchini and eggplant and practically running out of creative ideas of how to cook them. Never wanting to repeat the same dish each week, it was a fun challenge all summer long to come up with something new.
This year it seems like we are in inundated with greens! Chard, kale, red & green leaf lettuce, mesclun & arugula just to name a bunch. Unlike my creative streak with squash and eggplant last summer, I seem to prepare my greens the same way. In a salad or sauteed with onions or garlic.
Can you say boring?
Some people can go ahead and throw their greens in a smoothie – but sorry I just can't drink something that is green.
I won't even touch green beer on St. Patty's day.
Then the idea of kale pesto came to mind. I've made pesto out of ramps and garlic scapes so far, kale would certainly work and be just as delicious. After all, it is a superfood – what a better way to get it into your diet!
- 3 packed cups kale, stems removed, roughly chopped
- 1 packed cup basil
- 2 garlic cloves
- ⅔ cup toasted walnuts
- 1 cup parmigiana cheese, grated
- juice from ½ lemon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- In the bowl of your food processor add the basil and half of the kale. Pulse 8-10 times until the kale and basil is broken down and add the remainder of the kale plus the garlic, and walnuts. Pulse until it forms a paste.
- Add the lemon juice, cheese, salt and pepper. Pulse 2-3 times to combine.
- Drizzle the olive oil slowly from the top until the pesto is at your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Like Count Dracula turning into a vampire bat, Halloween is changing dramatically, according to retailers who were asked by SN for a recap of how it went a few days after the monster candy sales event became history. There were noticeable shifts in consumer behavior, apparently encouraged by the timing of the holiday and the transformation of past concerns for child safety into community involvement. For example, in the last three years Halloween has fallen on or near a weekend, and ...

Highlights of the Week Ahead
All times listed are Eastern Time for Jan. 8 to 14
I haven't been the biggest fan of ABC Family series in the past, so I'm happy to report that I really liked "Lincoln Heights," which premieres Monday at 7 p.m. The show is refreshingly honest and doesn't go for the easy solution in its story telling.
"Boston Legal" finally returns Tuesday at 10 p.m. on ABC. And the really great news is Merrin Dungey -- Francie/Evil Francie on "Alias" -- guest stars.
I hesitate to say this because it wasn't too long ago that I was wrong, wrong, wrong about "Windfall." But I really think "Dirt" is so bad, it's good. A delightful guilty pleasure. And I hear it gets more and more outlandish as the season progresses. Once I got over the whole "Oh My God. Monica is using a vibrator" shock, I've really enjoyed the show. Tune in Tuesday at 10 p.m. on FX and let me know what you think.
Here's my problem with both "The Knights of Prosperity" (Wednesday, ABC, 8 p.m.) and "In Case of Emergency" (Wednesday, ABC, 8:30 p.m.). While one show is much better than the other (yes, that would be "Knights") neither really has characters that I feel the compelling need to tune into each week.
It's with mixed emotions that I tell you that "The O.C." comes to an end on Feb. 22. But before we say goodbye, tune in to see more of Chris Brown(Thursday, FOX, 8 p.m.).
This week is all about great guest stars. Think of it as a belated holiday gift from our TV friends. Anyone who knows me know that I am so excited for Tori Spelling to stop by "Smallville" (Thursday, CW, 8 p.m.). And I'm telling you right now that having Justine Bateman on "Men in Trees" (Thursday, ABC, 10 p.m.) is flat out bribery to get me to watch, but I'll bite.
As you know, Boston Rob is my all-time favorite reality star. The omnipresent reality star is back in "Rob and Amber: Against the Odds," premiering Thursday at 8 p.m. on Fox Reality. The first episode is totally staged, but I'll probably watch anyway.
ABC repeats "Grey's Anatomy" and "Brothers & Sisters" at 9 p.m. Friday. And did you hear that Rob Lowe joined the cast of "Brothers & Sisters"? Such good times.
It's Jennifer Beals week. "The L Word" returned on Sunday and this Friday she guest stars on "Law & Order."
Alas, I did not get an advance copy of the sixth season premiere of "24" (beginning Sunday at 8 p.m. on FOX and concluding Monday at 8 p.m.) in time to give you a review (all together now, boooooo) but I'm so excited for this season -- especially that the Rickster will be joining the series.
That's all for today. I'll be back next week to talk about the musical episode of "Scrubs" (loved it and I'm already humming the songs), "24" (did Milo finally return from the world's longest coffee break?) and the return of Quotes of the Week and Where Have I Seen Them Before?
Have a question, seen a familiar face, have an inside scoop or want to nominate a quote of the week? Write me email@example.com.

Microsoft does plenty of innovation internally, but it also buys promising companies; products from PowerPoint to Halo started elsewhere.
Recently it's absorbed trendy search start-up Powerset and rumour says it will buy Israeli 3D gesture experts 3DV.
Despite the credit crunch there's no shortage of good ideas and plenty of new companies starting up to turn them into reality. So, who else should Microsoft whip out its cheque book to acquire?
1. Skyfire
Windows Mobile is lagging behind; there's no sign of version 7, no firm date for the welcome but minor improvements in 6.5 – and no-one gets Internet Explorer Mobile 6 until then. You don't have to wait for full web browsing with Flash, Silverlight and all the trimmings if you get Skyfire, though, and Microsoft should get it while it's still in beta.
Unlike most mobile browsers, Skyfire does the heavy lifting on the server, and Microsoft has its Azure cloud computing platform almost ready to go. Skyfire would put Windows Mobile ahead of the iPhone for browsing and it would be the perfect proof of concept for Azure; two birds with one investment.
2. Sense Networks
Microsoft wanted Yahoo to compete with Google on search because of all the money available from advertising on search results. The next big thing is mobile search, where Google isn't making a dent. This is a trickier problem because when you're on the go adverts have to be much better targeted to interest you.
Sense Networks's Citysense (www.citysense.com) could do that; it combines travel data from taxis and GPS-equipped mobile phones with demographic and business information to categorise locations – and the type of people who want to travel between them. If I'm a trendy clubber I don't want offers from a Harvester; if I'm looking up Toyota information from a Ford dealership, I'm ripe for an advert but probably not for a people mover. Sense says it can work all of that out without you ever signing up and filling in a profile, but it needs Microsoft's deep pockets to expand worldwide.
CITYSENSE: Working out what you like from where you go. Sense Networks could give Microsoft a step-up in mobile advertising
3. Boxee
Windows Media Center is starting to take off at last and the combination of new features and internet TV support in Windows 7 Media Center should give it a boost. Social media start-up boxee has just come to Windows, combining streaming media like Last.fm, YouTube and BBC iPlayer, online TV channels like CNN and Comedy Central (at least in the US) and sharing sites like Flickr with a media centre interface of its own. Microsoft should buy in boxee for the extra features and run it under the rather slicker Media Center interface to give you all your entertainment in one place.
4. Amulet
Controlling your TV by pressing buttons on a remote control is fine, but when you have hundreds of music albums and videos and thousands of photos it would be nice to tell it what to do. This Northern Irish start-up was a big success at CES this year with a voice recognition remote control for Media Center, but the Amulet name reveals bigger dreams; a tiny remote you could carry around to control your PC from anywhere in the house by issuing your orders. Microsoft has strong speech recognition technologies that could move Amulet along; bring the developers in-house and Microsoft could put Media Center years ahead of Apple TV out of the box.
5. Kinoma
The kind of cool app you expect to get on iPhone or Android, Kinoma Play calls itself a media browser rather than just a player; you get the same slick, fast interface for videos, music, podcasts, radio, audiobooks and photos whether they live on your phone, on your home PC, on a website like Flickr or a streaming service like SHOUTcast. If it's good enough to be the anchor application for Windows Mobile Marketplace, it's good enough for Microsoft to buy to replace the primitive Windows Media player on Windows Mobile.
KINOMA: A powerful, simple way to play music and video that's on your phone, on the web or on your PC. Microsoft should replace Windows Media mobile with it
6. Ingboo
You love the TechRadar newsletter, but how many of the other email newsletters in your inbox ever get read? You sign up because you want the offers, but you only want to read the most recent message when you're thinking about buying, you don't want the old messages cluttering up your mailbox and you certainly don't want to take the time to delete them.
Email isn't really the right place for search alerts, travel alerts, weather predictions, notifications of auction listings you're watching or anything else that goes stale. Ingboo puts it all on a portal that you don't even have to sign in to use; it's like Facebook for web pages or IE 8 Web Slices without having to wait for websites to build slices (or you having to switch to IE 8) and it would liven up Live Search a lot more than the Kumo redesign.
7. Gwabbit
It's a feature Outlook should already have and if Microsoft doesn't want to build it, it should buy it. When you get an email with someone's name and address at the bottom, why do you have to put them into the Contact fields by hand, one by one? Gwabbit 'gwabs' all the details and puts them in the right place, so labelled phone, fax and mobile numbers are ready to dial. It's not the first tool to do it (Anagram has been around for a while), but it's polished – and Microsoft could buy it now and build it into Office 14.
GWABBIT: Stupid name, clever software. Microsoft should build Gwabbit's address-nibbling teeth right into Outlook
And while Microsoft is shopping… Skype
It's not a start-up but given that the founders want to buy it back and eBay doesn't seem to want to keep it, Microsoft could step in and broker a deal to get the most serious competition for Windows Live Messenger (or whatever it's called this week). On the business side, Skype would be an excellent fit for Microsoft's unified communications strategy; a powerful comms client optimised for voice instead of just text that plenty of people already understand how to use.

Sinnott to run for third and final term as Erie's mayor
Eight years ago, then-City Councilman Joe Sinnott asked Erie residents to believe that he was the person who could lead the city out of troubled times and into a better future.
On Wednesday, Sinnott told more than 120 people who packed into Bagnoni Council Chambers at Erie City Hall that the promises made at the start of his administration have been fulfilled.
And he asked them for four more years to keep working.
Sinnott, 47, confirmed that he will run for his third term as Erie's mayor in the May 21 municipal primary, and asked supporters gathered to have continued faith in his leadership as the city works to address the challenges it faces.
The third term would be his final; he is prohibited by term limits from running for a fourth.
If re-elected, Sinnott said he would continue to focus on neighborhood revitalization efforts, a priority of his previous terms, the redevelopment of the GAF Materials Corp. site on the bayfront and the Union Square town home project in Erie's midtown.
"Good neighborhoods are the lifeblood of a city and we will continue to build on this progress until all ares of the city can be viable and attractive for homeownership," said Sinnott, a Democrat.
He also pledged to continue to work to reduce gun violence. The city's current efforts are working, he said: in 20 months, law enforcement has taken nearly 250 guns and 176 offenders off the streets, he said.
Asked later whether he would expand or change any of those efforts in the years ahead, Sinnott said, "We have a good approach to where things are now. As things change, we'll change with them to continue to be effective."
He said he continues to support cooperation between the region's municipalities as a way to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
"Regionalism is the long-term future for all communities like this, but it never got a lot of buy-in from outlying areas," he said.
"If we can get buy-in on regionalism, I'll be in the middle of making that work," Sinnott said, though he did not outline any new, specific efforts he would lead.
At the state level, he said he would continue to work with other mayors and legislators on issues facing cities across Pennsylvania, including arbitration reform, the declining tax base and the high number of tax-exempt properties in urban centers.
Sinnott said he and other members of a task force that includes mayors of cities across the state have helped put those issues "on the radar" in Harrisburg.
"We've already started to move the needle, but that's one of those things that will have to continue well into the future" beyond a third term, Sinnott said. "Before, nobody was paying attention to these things. There wasn't a cohesive voice of the cities on those things."
Sinnott characterized the Erie of 2006, when he first took office, as a "troubled community lacking in hope, identity and a positive vision for the future."
Erie faced the possibility of entering Act 47, the state's program for financially distressed cities.
Sinnott promised then to reform city government to make it more cost efficient yet effective; to make the city attractive for businesses and residents to help boost the tax base; and to change the way elected officials worked together.
That has happened, he said Wednesday. The city workforce is 25 percent smaller. Grant dollars have helped rehabilitate homes and fund redevelopment projects. The "embarrassing fighting" that existed between previous administrations and City Council is gone, he said.
"The promises I made at the start of this administration have been fulfilled and are now the foundation for the work we continue to do to move the Erie community forward."

How does a driver decide which series to compete in next season?
There are numerous options in open-wheel racing, and trying to choose where to go can be a bit confusing.
We believe the decision becomes far easier when a driver considers his or her ultimate goals.
Some championships focus on inexpensive track time, which usually means that they schedule their dates at low-key and often non-spectator events to save money for the series and ultimately require less from the competitors to cover their costs. This is fine for drivers who want decent competition and fun but aren't concerned with personal exposure.
For some drivers, it is important to stay close to home. Choosing a series that does not require distant travel has advantages for them. For these drivers, club racing is an attractive option.
Most career-minded drivers, however, see the value in receiving some level of training to perfect their skills as pro drivers while also getting their names out to higher level team owners and the media. Racing where they can achieve a solid return for their sponsors' investments is also very important, as sponsorship is critical in climbing the professional ladder.
Sponsors, of course, prefer to be in front of the large crowds that high-profile events provide.
The best advice is to select a series based upon your needs and aspirations. For drivers moving up, strong competition at great venues with wide exposure is what you should seek.
The Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda will compete at seven premier events in 2014 all in support of the IndyCar Series with highlight shows on the NBC Sports Network and MOTORS TV in Europe, and further exposure our new RoadToIndy.TV initiative - a web-based TV channel to take fans behind-the-scenes with videos on our drivers and teams to showcase the rising stars of the Mazda Road to Indy.
We provide extensive media coverage through our staff and through the IndyCar Series' public relations department.
Our Mazda scholarship is a huge incentive alone for career-minded drivers.
In addition, training such as the Mazda Road to Indy Summit Program held in conjunction with USF2000 race events at St. Petersburg and Indianapolis truly develops drivers who are climbing up towards the IndyCar Series and Indianapolis 500.
For drivers who would like to see if they can make a career in open-wheel racing, there is only one choice.
Please contact us and let us help you reach your goals.

The snow is piled up to the floorboard of my car and there are forecasts of sub-zero temperatures.
The list of high school basketball games being postponed every day reads like a departure screen at O'Hare Airport when fog sets in.
Has anyone seen Al Gore lately? Maybe he's burning that Nobel Peace Price he was awarded for his movie on global warming - "An Inconvenient Truth" - to warm his hands.
Being he doesn't have much to do these days other than figuring out his carbon footprint - which is undoubtedly large - Gore might want to spend time re-scheduling area basketball games that have been postponed because of our winter wonderland. Global cooling has set up shop, and it's playing havoc with high school teams that are at the midpoint of the season and looking ahead to their stretch runs.
I can't remember a basketball season that's been hit harder by winter's wrath than what we're seeing now. This is the time of the season when conference races heat up in a dash to the tournament drawings. Fans should be wondering if the Windham Bombers will continue their dominance of the area Division IV district, while hoping that the Warren G. Harding Raiders don't run into a grumpy officiating crew in the Division I regional.
Instead, coaches and players are looking ahead to a late-season scheduling mess that could include more makeup games than games that are regularly scheduled.
It can't all be blamed on the weather. It is January, after all. Snow falls, temperatures fall and sometimes I fall on my rear end walking to my car on the way to cover a game in the depths of winter.
Why schools close and winter sports events are put on hold so much because of weather kids once enjoyed playing in is confusing. I know rules are set in place that are designed with comfort and safety for all involved, but this is getting out of hand.
I might be coming off as a relative of previous generations that talked about walking a mile to school in waist-deep snow, but I don't think schools closed because of bad weather when I was a kid nearly as much as occurs today.
My school years ran from the late 1950s through 1971, the latter year being three years before "Time" magazine ran a cover story on the dangers of global cooling and the beginning of the next "Ice Age." If it was that cold back then, why did schools rarely shut their doors, and why did I join my buddies in playing outdoor basketball in January and February?
Uh ... maybe because school systems didn't cower to the whims of Mother Nature. As long as mom could get you out of bed and on the way to school, reading and writing took place during the day and basketball games were played at night.
School administrators now undoubtedly have to worry about having enough salt on the sidewalks to avoid a lawsuit in the event that someone falls. Other factors are the high costs of heating and the concern for those who have to walk from their cars to the gymnasiums.
Still, it's getting a bit old reading the list of postponements because of weather conditions. Buckets full of snow I can understand. As for the cold temperatures, just deal with it.
The Time magazine story 35 years ago stated that climate experts were in unison in reporting that the average temperature had decreased steadily in the previous three decades. They added that there were no signs of a reversal.
From what we're seeing this year, they were right, yet Gore tells us we're wrong.
It's enough to make you hot under the collar.

HIV prevention counseling may be a classic case of "in one ear, out the other."
A recent report in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that HIV prevention counseling paired with HIV testing does little to actually keep patients from contracting new sexually transmitted diseases.
In fact, a group of patients studied in this paper who received counseling at the time of their HIV tests contracted virtually the same number of STDs six months down the road as another group that had received no counseling.
Louise Haynes, an assistant professor at the Medical University of South Carolina, co-authored the report. She agreed to answer a few questions about her work.
Question: Why did the authors set out to study the effectiveness of HIV counseling?
Answer: In 2006, the CDC modified its guidelines for HIV testing and recommended routine non-risk-based opt-out HIV screening. The guidelines removed the requirement for costly prevention counseling as part of screening in an effort to reduce barriers to testing. However, this change was based on little evidence regarding the effectiveness of counseling.
To examine the question of the effectiveness of HIV risk-reduction counseling as part of testing, the authors first conducted a study that demonstrated that counseling at the time of testing did not change risk behaviors in individuals seeking substance abuse treatment. Expanding on their initial study, the current trial was designed to determine if counseling at the time of testing would have an impact on the acquisition of new STDs among a high-risk population seeking STD treatment.
Q: What was the main conclusion that the group found at the end of the study?
A: There was no significant difference in STI (sexually transmitted infection) incidence for those who received counseling and those who did not. Counseling at the time of testing added significant cost without demonstrated benefit.
Q: What recommendations can clinicians draw from this paper?
A: These study findings demonstrate that risk-reduction counseling does not significantly impact STD clinic patients' risk of STI acquisition and suggests that there is no added benefit of brief client-centered risk-reduction counseling at the time of rapid HIV testing.
The implication of this finding for clinicians is that rather than devote resources to routine counseling for everyone receiving testing, those resources could be used more effectively to help connect patients who test positive to appropriate medical care. Counseling is also appropriate when a patient asks for counseling to address high risk behaviors.
Q: Even though the paper calls into question the effectiveness of HIV counseling paired with testing, is there still an appropriate venue for counseling? Where might it be effectively employed?
A: The study demonstrated that requiring counseling as part of testing is not necessary, but that is not to say that there is no place for counseling. It is essential that individuals who test positive for HIV have supportive counseling and services that connect them to medical care.
Q: Is counseling any more or less important in Southern states like South Carolina, with higher rates of HIV/AIDS?
A: The study found no differences in outcome by site. In other words, there was no evidence that counseling was more effective at a site in the South, than in other parts of the country.
The full report is available online, www.jama.com.

Alternative Folk
A departure from the somber Your Favorite Music,The Ghost of Fashion is, on many levels, Eef Barzelay and Jason Glasser's greatest achievement.Barzelay has turned in a super batch of songs, harvesting his strengths and channeling them into a diverse landscape of ornery rockers and ballads of transparent, gliding simplicity. Glasser's arrangements have never been better-pushy, earnest, and bursting with beautiful details, his production swirls around and through Barzelay's lyrics without obscuring their intelligence, and when the two men's eccentric visions are in synch, the results are stunning. Particularly, ""Joan Jett of Arc," a metaphor for Barzelay's first sexual experience, sparkles with innocence and humor, while ""Moment in the Sun," a typically cynical musing on celebrityhood, became the theme song to the Ed television show. Elsewhere, the charming ""Long Lost Twin" makes use of a subdued rockabilly shuffle, and ""Chinese Baby" beautifully remakes the band's 1998 acoustic recording. Truthfully, some of this is probably going to be an unsettling experience for fans craving more of Your Favorite Music's dreamy countrysides, but Ghost's cloudy intensity is one of the most exhilarating experiences of the year.

Kessler is garbage and one of the most overated fighters in the game. He was garbage before the super six and he is garbage after it. Ward beat him down and it wouldnt have mattered if they fought on the moon cause Ward outclassed him PERIOD.

Ward wont fight him again. He'll beat Froch again. Ward has to move up- he should fight someone with some more crafty hand skills - like Campillo if he wins in Jan. cloud/pascal would get schooled by Ward.

And are we talking about the SAME Chad Dawson who called out Ward after looking like sh*t against BHop? I mean, the man just said after the fight on national TV he was willing to come down and take Ward's belts. I dont really care what was said at the negotiating table, Dawson made it CLEAR he was willing to come down, and was classy enough in defeat not to use weight as an excuse, because even if it WAS the reason he lost, he made the mistake of saying he was more than willing to go down to 168, and talked sh*t about how it wouldnt affect him in the build up. So guess what? He took his L like a man. Wish Kessler could do the same thing.
The same Kessler who had eye issues and didnt finish the damn tournament! If you wanted to fight Ward so bad you shouldve finished the super six you flake.

He don't have to leave the US...certainly not for Kessler
Don't get why fans are trying to make it Mandatory for Ward to fight outside of the US...when did this become a requirement to be a TOP FIGHTER
people come to fight in the US because of Money and the Big Networks are here...WTF IS IN DENMARK?
So yes if your want revenge against the Guy that already kicked your A$$, you will have to come to him!
Ward will really dominate him in a rematch...a straight SHUT OUT and likely a Stoppage...Ward has gotten BETTER since their first match up

what i find amusing is that all you posters that live in euro or have euro ties crack on Ward for not fighting the "challenger" outside the US
yet you all have no problem with the Klit Bros fighting all their fights in their backyards or close to it
They are seen as boring fighters here in the states and would not sell out a boxing arena so they stay home where they sell out stadiums and make more loot! makes sense to me
If I can see that why cant ya'll?

Personally,I think the amount of fights are limited for Ward at the SMW division and would have preffered to see Ward beat Dawson at LHW...I still see the same result though.
Answer me this-why the hell would any fighter seek a fight in Denmark when they are building a solid career in America with the likes of support from HBO and Showtime???? Do you honestly think that fighting Kessler in Denmark boosts Wards career to the next level at this stage,or is it a step backwards???? Is anyone even begging for this fight??? HELL NO! If a fighter usually waits to fight every 6 months,do we want to waste this time for a Kessler rematch-hell,we seen that outcome-let's see a different opponent.Even a Pavlik/Ward match up seems more appealing-and we all know the outcome of that fight.

Tense? Annoyed? Fit to Bust? Dr. Charles Stroebel's Quieting Reflex May Save You from Dangerous Stress
His remedy for the torment he'd been through: a six-second exercise he calls the Quieting Reflex. He developed it in 1974 after experimenting with both Transcendental Meditation and biofeedback. Today it is used by 4,000 therapists on more than a half-million patients and taught to pupils in about 40 school districts across the U.S. "I'm not going to tell you this is a miracle cure," says author Gerald Green {The Last Angry Man, TV's Holocaust), who has been using QR for eight years for migraines. "But it's relieved me of a lot of pain." Neurologist Seymour Diamond, executive director of the American Association for the Study of Headache, cautions that QR is "not a panacea. Some people need psychotherapy with it."
The technique, says Stroebel, whose book QR: The Quieting Reflex (G.P. Putnam's Sons, $12.95) has just been released, is more complicated than it sounds. "This isn't a six-second fix for stress," Stroebel warns. "You have to make a commitment to learn QR, which takes adults about six months before it becomes authentic." (Children, he says, have less accumulated stress and need only half that time.) The first step, he says, is for the tension sufferer to be aware of his own condition. "Many people have become so used to stress," he observes, "they don't know when it's happening." Second, the subject should say to himself, "Alert mind, calm body." This, Stroebel explains, "arouses your sense of self-mastery and shows your brain it doesn't have to be at the mercy of a body that's always in passing gear." Third, smile inwardly to relax facial muscles. Fourth, relax the temporomandibular joint (the jaw's hinge) and inhale while counting to three, imagining the air coming in through the soles of the feet. Next, attempt to feel the air coming up through the legs and into the stomach and abdomen. Finally, he should exhale, letting his jaw, tongue and shoulders go limp and feeling the warmth and heaviness leave the body.
Stroebel, 46, explains that QR works by reversing the initial reaction the body has to stress: tensed muscles, shortness of breath and constricted blood flow. He estimates that about 20 percent of the population can't learn the technique. "A lot of depressives," he notes, "just don't have the energy to follow through until they come out of their depression." But he believes QR could save many lives, especially among tense urban residents. "Such people feel stress at least 50 times a day," he says. "Many common medical problems—hypertension, heart disease, migraines and ulcers—can be caused by pressure."
Stroebel himself was programmed for the hectic life. Raised in Minnesota, he was the eldest of five children born to Dr. Charles F. Stroebel Jr., an internist at the Mayo Clinic, and his wife, Eleanor, a pianist. "Both parents," Stroebel remembers, "were remarkable in stimulating real curiosity." As a student at Rochester High, he was already first chair oboe in the city's symphony orchestra. In 1958 he graduated from the University of Minnesota. A year later he wed a coed he had met there, Jane Kasper. He received a Ph.D. in physiological psychology from Minnesota in 1961 and since 1962 has been working in Hartford at the Institute of Living, a nonprofit, private psychiatric hospital. Stroebel received his M.D. from Yale in 1973, four years before his wife died, leaving him with their children, Chuck, now 16, and Lisa, 22. Later in 1977 he married a divorced Hartford neighbor, Liz Gibbons, who had three children of her own.
Stroebel unwinds by playing the harpsichord. He is also writing a book about Bach. "He wrote secret messages into various themes by assigning letters to the notes," Stroebel maintains. "He loved to spell his own name forward and backward."
Liz Stroebel, a teacher for 22 years, has introduced her husband's techniques to children as young as 3. Stroebel himself, who lectures at Yale in addition to logging 70-hour weeks at the institute, is working with Liz on a QR book for kids. Admits Stroebel: "Because of QR, I can become involved in lots of things that normally would have pushed me to the exhaustion point."

July 31, 2012
Japanese researchers have discovered what they say is the world's northernmost coral reef off the coast of Tsushima Island in Japan at 34 degrees North, according to a paper published in the journal Geology. The reef was found in cold water and is noteworthy in that most coral reefs are found in warmer waters of at least 64 degrees Fahrenheit. The waters where this reef is located are 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Researcher Hiroya Yamano writes in the journal Geology that the newly discovered reef is completely different in look than reefs that are typically found in warmer waters.
Yamano led a team of researchers in the discovery of the reef, conducting interviews with the locals and poring over old manuscripts that led to the discovery. The reef, estimated to be 4,300 years old, was found within the bays of Tsushima and Iki Islands, in cold waters that are turbid and cloudy.
The corals were not of the Acropora genus, which comprises a majority of corals throughout the world, but were rather of the genus Favia, which is a brown coral that Yamano says can better adapt to the cold and turbid waters of Tsushima Island's bays. Yamano suspects that the Tsushima Current, a warm water current that flows along the northwestern coast of Japan's islands, and Asian monsoons brought coral larvae north to the bays of Tsushima and Iki Islands. The full abstract can be found here.

I've dove on a coral reef off of the Izu Peninsula. That's more North than Tsushuima and Iki.

So, the world's northernmost reef huh?

It's been seven years since the Phillies employed Ed Wade, but the former general manager was never far from the team's recent success. Wade acquired 11 of the 25 players on the 2008 world championship squad. In Houston, he was a trading partner for three major Phillies deals.
Now, Wade is returning to Philadelphia.
The Phillies have hired him as a special consultant, the team said Tuesday. Wade will scout at the major- and minor-league levels and assist in salary arbitration.

The Phonebooth is a great source of historical telephone related information. We feature information about the Bell System and it's companies -- including Western Electric and Teletype Corporation.
About The Phonebooth
This site features a growing collection of advertisements including some related to telephone booths and the Bell System. You can also find some general information about pay telephones, including several pictures of 3-slot coin collectors, single slot pay telephones, and coinless payphones.
A section focuses on telephone booths that are still located in Iowa and other sections have telephone booth photos and news reports related to telephone booths. There is another section with "How to use the..." and "How to use your..." instruction manuals for Western Electric telephones and other equipment (including a fun to read manual about operating a cord switchboard).
If you have any site suggestions, please feel free to send an email to [email protected] or use the form on the Contact Us page.
Site Contents
Our collection of vintage telephone advertisements covers a wide range from telephone sets, the convenience of public telephones and telephone booths, the Bell System's role during wartime and many, many more. The advertisements range from the early 1900's to the mid 1980's. There are even a few radio advertisements in MP3 format available for download.
Public telephones are constantly diminishing in number as a result of the convenience and availability of mobile telephones and the increased costs of providing public phones. This section covers pay phones and phone booths and includes many photos of telephone booths from the Iowa Phonebooth Project -- a search for the remaining telephone booths in Iowa.
While searching for remaining telephone booths, I found that many times they were located at or near the town's telephone central office. This was especially true for towns and cities that were formerly part of the Bell System. This caused me to start the search of each town at the telephone central office. As a result, I found that I had pictures of many of the telephone central offices in Iowa. I share those pictures in this section of the site.
Years ago I had a model 35 ASR Teletype that I had to get rid of because of space limitations. It was truly a mechanical marvel to me. Recently I was able to purchase a model 28 KSR Teletype and I am slowly getting it back to operating condition. While the model 35 could operate at 110 baud, the model 28 tops out at a whopping 75 baud. With a gear change, it can even operate at slower speeds. In this section, I have pictures of my Teletype and most of information and documentation I have been able to get my hands on.
|1A2 Key Telephone Systems
The standard of the 70's and 80's, the traditional 1A2 key telephone systems are quickly becoming history. This section provides a bit of background on the 1A2 key system in general, and lists information about most of the Key Telephone Units (KTU's) available for the 1A2.
Lots of documentation.
You can find a copy of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell's original patent for the telephone, pictures of various telephone company items, a telephone timeline, telephone intercept recordings and more.

Susan Powell Thought She'd Be Killed, New Documents Show
In the papers from the 2009 investigation, which were unsealed on Friday, it is revealed that authorities discovered her blood in the Powell's West Valley City, Utah, home as well as a note in which she said she feared for her life, the Seattle Times reports. Susan went missing from her home in December 2009, and her body has never been found.
Josh was considered a person of interest in Susan's disappearance, yet was never arrested. And the new documents raise further questions about why her husband, who killed himself and their two children in a house explosion in February, was never charged with her disappearance, according to the Times.
A safety deposit box used by Susan contained a last will and testament, life insurance policies totaling $1.5 million, and a chilling note that read "if Susan Powell dies it may not be an accident, even if it looks like one," the Times reports, citing the documents. The papers also describe Josh Powell as unwilling to cooperate with the police investigation.
"There is direct evidence. There is circumstantial evidence. There is motive," Washington state prosecutor Mark Lindquist, who had a first look at the files, told the Times. "There is everything but the body."

This simple yet tasty orzotto is inspired by one of my favourite risotto recipes. Substituting orzo pasta for risotto rice reduces the cooking time and means the dish requires only an occasional stir.
A dollop of mascarpone adds creaminess and the addition of grated courgette gives a splash of colour. This is a great recipe for using those little packs of economical smoked salmon trimmings you can buy at most supermarkets.
This is my entry for June's Recipes for Life Challenge hosted by the lovely Vanesther over at Bangers & Mash and the wonderful folks at SWALLOW, a charity that supports adults with learning disabilities to lead more independent lives.
For further details on the Recipes for Life Challenge, please hop over to Bangers & Mash or see my previous post here.
Smoked Salmon and Courgette Orzotto
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 175g orzo or rosmarino pasta
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 500ml vegetable stock
- 2 small courgettes, finely grated
- 100g smoked salmon, three-quarters roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp mascarpone
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
- small handful of rocket
- black pepper
1. Fry the onion in the oil for 5 mins until softened. Add the orzo and garlic and cook for a further minute whilst stirring.
2. Pour in the stock and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 12 minutes in total or until the pasta is al dente and all the stock has been absorbed. Add the grated courgettes a couple of minutes before the end of cooking time.
3. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped salmon, mascarpone, and lemon juice. Season with black pepper. Serve topped with the reserved salmon and a scattering of rocket.

Baton Rouge ranks eighth for job growth in the construction industry from 2011 to 2012 among metro cities in the United States, according to a report by the Associated General Contractors of America. December saw 45,900 people working in Baton Rouge construction, compared to 40,500 people in December 2011.
The 5,400-person increase represents 11 percent more jobs in the sector since the previous year, though the number of people working local construction shrunk by 900 jobs from November to December. Baton Rouge was ranked 11th among metro cities in November 2012 for sector job gains from November 2011, according to the Baton Rouge Business Report.
The AGCA tracks 337 metro areas, and reports 139 of them saw increases in the construction industry, 131 decreased and 65 remained unchanged from December 2011 to December 2012.
Other metro areas in Louisiana, such as Houma, Lake Charles, Lafayette and Shreveport, saw rising numbers in construction jobs in November, though these numbers decreased in New Orleans in December. In Louisiana, a total of 122,200 people held jobs in the construction industry in December 2012, a two percent increase from the previous year.

The property is not for sale, and the plant's 343 employees were offered transfers as far away as Parma, Ohio. GM spokesman Tom Wickham said discussions will be taking place about the reuse of the facility. He said it's too early to tell if selling or demolishing the plant will be on the table.
Some people think there is too much life still left in the building to tear it down, offering that it could easily house a different manufacturing facility.
We would like your suggestions for the property. What do you think has the best chance of success in that location? A single company? Multiple industries? What are your ideas on uses that would best help the Grand Blanc community bounce back from the loss of Grand Blanc Weld Tool Center?
Share your ideas in the comments section of this post.
