He led a cowboy's life in Wyoming and in Montana, before returning to Telluride in ...

JBS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials took a positive step last week when they agreed to work to work together to ensure the meatpacking giant's U.S. workforce stays legal.
The move comes more than half a decade after a raid on the meatpacking plant in north Greeley netted 262 suspected illegal workers. The dramatic raid in December 2006 came as part of a nationwide operation that saw federal agents descend on six Swift & Co. meatpacking plants across the country with guns drawn. Authorities rounded up about 1,300 suspected illegal immigrants in largest immigration enforcement action in the nation's history.
The raid reshaped Greeley's meatpacking plant, and altered the makeup of the city.
A study conducted three years after the raid by the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Immigration Studies, estimated that in addition to those who were arrested, another 1,300 workers at the six plants across the country — who presumably were illegal workers — left Swift. Of the entire group arrested, 274 were charged with crimes, according to the report. The Center for Immigration Studies advocates tougher illegal immigration policies and was critical of the tactics used in the Swift raids.
Less than a year after the raids, Brazilian meat producer JBS SA bought Swift & Co. for about $1.5 billion, moved the headquarters of its U.S. operations — called JBS USA — to Greeley and turned largely to East African refugees to bolster its workforce.
We think this new partnership between ICE and JBS represents a much better way to tackle the problem of undocumented workers than were the sudden and jarring 2006 raids. The partnership, called the ICE Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers program, will help JBS detect fraudulent document use and identity theft.
As part of the program, the employers must participate in the Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify employment eligibility verification program, through which they can verify an employee's work status in the United States, providing links to Social Security records.
Of course the program isn't a panacea. Even the E-Verify system is fallible. For example, Swift was using an early version of the program to verify its workers employment status prior to the 2006 raids. While no one effort will solve the vexing problem of illegal immigration and all that comes with it, we are glad to see JBS and ICE officials taking proactive measures to address their part of the problem in a thoughtful way.

To keep the water running in LasVegas, recognize scarcity and let water rates rise-- double or even triple. Encourage homeowners to trade water rights. Let the market determine how much water people use, not the water police.

Public access to rivers, lakes, and streams seems like a good idea in the abstract. Why not allow access to anyone who wants to enjoy the recreational opportunities associated with water?

FOR PEOPLE of a certain age who appreciate a certain genre of motion picture, nitroglycerin played a frequent role.
Nitro, stored in glass jars and protected by cotton wadding in a rickety crate in the back of a buckboard, provided a thrill in the stock scene: The wagon goes out of control, putting some precious cargo in terrible danger.
If that nitro got bumped too hard, or if the wagon careened over the cliff . . . BOOM!

Shanahan On RG3 MRI Results
Washington Redskins executive vice president/head coach Mike Shanahan spoke with the media about the results of the MRI on Robert Griffin III's knee. Shanahan did not shy away from any questions and also confronted the issues with Dr. Andrews.
Opening statement:
?Robert [Griffin III] will fly down tomorrow to see Dr. [James] Andrews. He?s going to have some more tests and a physical exam. I?m not sure right now the extent of his knee [injury]. Anytime you do have a former ACL injury or an LCL and you take a look at his MRI, sometimes it?s old injuries. That?s why he?s going to fly down there and see Dr. Andrews ? get some new MRIs, get a physical examination. Right now, everything is totally speculation. When I do know of the extent of the injury, I?ll let you know.?
On if Griffin III?s knee injury is an old or new injury:
?I?m saying right now, I really don?t know. Dr. Andrews is going to take a look at Robert. A lot of times, you look at an MRI? In my understanding, when you have an ACL injury, an LCL injury, you?ve had former injuries, they want to take another look ? another physical exam to make sure they?re not looking at old injuries on the MRI.?
On the sequence of events between Griffin III reaggravating his knee and when he was cleared to return:
?He tweaked it a little bit on that sideline. I went up to Robert and I said, ?Are you OK?? He said, ?Yeah, no, I?m fine.? He said, ?I got it retaped.? I said, ?Do you have a good feel for it?? and he said, ?Yeah, I feel good.? He was OK right away.?
On if Griffin III was evaluated by doctors at that point:
?I did not talk to the doctors at that time. I asked him [Griffin III] how he was doing. The doctors ? every time he comes off and he gets retaped ? they do talk to him.?
On when he spoke to the doctors about Griffin III for the first time:
?I talked to the doctors three or four times during the game at different sequences. Anytime he gets hit on the sideline, I had all the doctors come up and we talked as a group, I think three or four different times during the game. You?re trying to get their opinions on how Robert is doing. You want to not always listen to the quarterback. You want to get some great feedback from the doctors, especially the doctors we have on our sidelines. We have three of the best in the country. I talk to them at various times during the game.?
On the nature of the conversations he had with the doctors on the sidelines after a report that he and Dr. Andrews had a miscommunication about Griffin III returning to the Baltimore game:
?There was no miscommunication with Dr. Andrews. It doesn?t matter. I asked Dr. Andrews if Robert is OK to be in the game and he said yes. I don?t ask him? I don?t sit down with him and say, ?Hey, did you give him a proper evaluation?? I asked him, ?Is it OK if he goes back in the game?? He says yes or no. He said yes.?
On if Griffin III?s MRI showed any old or new partial tears:
?Like I said, I?m not going to speculate on that. Dr. Andrews will get a chance to take a look at him. Everything right now is total speculation for the reasons I just gave? Anytime there are old injuries to the ACL and LCL, there?s always differences of opinion on the MRI. That?s why he?s going to see Dr. Andrews tomorrow.?
On the reason Griffin III is going to see Dr. Andrews:
?There is a concern. That?s why he?s going to go see him. Anytime you get an MRI and you have old injuries [to] the LCL, ACL, he wants to give him a physical exam himself and give him a number of tests and evaluate him in person.?
On Dr. Andrews? comments that he never evaluated Griffin III?s knee during the Baltimore game:
?You have to think about what?s going on in the game. Robert comes off the field. He comes off and he starts running around. I asked him the same question. When Robert starts running around, I?m looking at [quarterback] Kirk [Cousins] being in the ballgame. When Robert runs back on the field, I look over at Dr. Andrews. I said, ?Is he OK?? and he said, ?Yes, he?s OK.? When you ask him that and he says he?s OK, you don?t ask him, ?Did you look at him? Did you watch him run around? Did you give him a test?? He said he was OK, so that?s why he went back in the game. I?ll be honest with you, I wasn?t expecting him to go back into the game at that time. But he went in there for a few more plays and did a good job. Then, you saw the setback when we did take him out. After we took him out, he was out for the game? Why don?t you get a hold of Dr. Andrews and you ask him. I think what happens is when somebody sees somebody come off the sideline, you show the doctors he?s running around where the knee looks good? You?ll have to ask him. I can?t tell you that.?
On if he was surprised by Dr. Andrews saying Griffin III was OK to return without talking to him:
?Obviously, I don?t know. I don?t know what they do. Obviously, it surprises you. I?ll let those doctors do their job.?
On second guessing Griffin III?s return to the game on Sunday:
?I say second guess, I second guess a lot. I second guess plays that I call on third-down-and-short, third-down-and-long. After the game is over with, you always second guess yourself. What you have to do is make decisions that you think are the right decisions. I thought we made the right decisions. You don?t make the decisions by yourself. You get a lot of opinions during the game ? especially with a guy like Robert ? not only talking to him, but talking to the doctors. Then, you go with what you think is right.?
On how Griffin III is feeling today:
?I think Robert is looking forward to seeing what?s happening with Dr. Andrews tomorrow ? same thing that we are.?
On the turf at FedExField:
?You like a perfect field. It wasn?t a perfect field. We all know that. I kind of had mentioned before, I?ve been in San Francisco where that field at the end of the season was always torn up. Sometimes we put sod down and it was worse after we put the sod down ? especially new sod. Did the same thing in Denver at one time and it didn?t work out for the sod. If you do sod right, a lot of times it?s good. I really thought the field was OK because I didn?t see people slipping during the game. I?ve seen perfect grass and guys just slipping all the time. Therefore, I don?t think there?s an advantage one way or a disadvantage one way. You would like to have the perfect field, yes. Relative to turf, you just have to judge if you?re willing to go in that direction because of the injuries on turf compared to grass.?
On the possibility of changing to turf:
?I would talk about it. I would talk about it, but I do like natural grass? We have that here, but for some reason it?s just not working as well. Anyway, we?ll try to address that for next year.?
On the importance of Griffin III participating in the offseason program:
?You always like to have everybody part of the offseason program. I thought [Vikings running back] Adrian Peterson did pretty good last year for not being part of the offseason program. There?s a number of guys that have injuries who have to work extremely hard to overcome injuries in the offseason. The perfect scenario is always being there, especially for a quarterback.?
On if he has reassessed how he will handle this type of situation in the future:
?I think you do that through your experiences. You?re constantly evaluating. I know Robert is constantly getting attention relative to being a quarterback, but we?re doing the same thing with [guard/center] Kory Lichtensteiger, [tackle] Trent Williams, [linebacker] London Fletcher, guys that are banged up during the week. You?re evaluating them as the game goes on. You?re looking at their performance and sometimes you get a good feel on how a guy is doing and you look at film and say, ?God, [he is] not playing quite as good as I thought he was. Maybe we should have pulled him.? That?s a constant in the National Football League.?
On if he expects to have all of the players and coaches back next year:
?I don?t talk about the players or coaches for a while. It?s part of the evaluation process. You?re always hoping that you can bring back the guys that are free agents. You can talk about your players. You can talk about the coaches. You always want your coaches to? Hopefully, if they?re interested in a head coaching job or they?re offered a head coaching job or if you have an assistant that might be offered a coordinator?s job, sometimes I?ve entertained that in the past even if they?re under contract, because you want the best for them. Other times, you get a top assistant that you?re paying pretty good money to and you made a commitment to them and you want them to stay even though a coordinator?s job may be offered. There?s a lot of things that go on in the offseason with coaching staffs and the players ? the free agents. You?re always trying to do what?s best for the organization, sometimes what?s best for the person as well, if they?ve made a commitment to you.?
On when the players will return:
?April 15 is usually the date. If you?re a new coaching staff, sometimes it?s April 1.?
On if he can trust Griffin III to assess his injuries in the future:
?I think that you grow together, just like you grow putting an offensive scheme in. You grow week by week. You understand what a guy is about, what he can do, what he can?t do. Yeah, I think that?s part of the learning process as you go forward. You understand the guy a little bit more, he understands you a little bit more ? what he expects, what you expect.?
On if he has been contacted by any teams regarding interviewing his assistants for openings:
?Not that I know of at this time.?
On if he learned anything about Griffin III yesterday:
?I think you learn something about people every game. It?s part of the process that you go through. We talk about the evaluation process that there?s going to be some highs and lows every game, every season. The quarterback, I think, has the biggest learning curve out of anybody, but to have the type of season that he has, to me, is unprecedented as a rookie coming in ? what he?s been able to accomplish. He?s going to keep on getting better.?
On if there are any other players having surgery in the near future:
?We haven?t talked about that yet. We?ve been pretty busy with other things. Players are checking out today, but I will give you that list when I know for sure.?
On owner Daniel M. Snyder?s reaction to Griffin III?s injury:
?I had a conversation with Dan after the game [and] texted him this morning. We were texting back and forth this morning. [He reacted] probably just like everybody else here in D.C. ? keeping our fingers crossed that everything is positive and look forward to this football team coming back next year.?
On if he will change protocol for handling player injuries on the sidelines:
?No, not at all. When you have a chance to look to your left and you have a doctor ? a medical doctor ? that hasn?t happened to me in the past. I?ve had a lot of trainers. I haven?t had many medical doctors with me on the sidelines. I think it improves every year. With concussions, that?s a big improvement. Back when Robert had the concussion, I needed to go to the doctor to see that Robert wasn?t going back into the game. He said he was fine. I knew he wasn?t fine. I?ve been around enough concussions. I could see the glassy eyes that there?s no chance of him going back in the game. Some things you get a good feel right away. The things that you don?t know of are when you deal with a knee or you deal with other things that you?re not very good at.?
On assistant coaches potentially interviewing for head coaching positions:
?I think anytime you get an experience to interview, it?s always good. It makes you organize your thoughts, your game plan, what you would do as a head football coach. So, when somebody asks you to interview, it makes you organize yourself a little bit. One thing as an assistant football coach, you never even think on those terms about being a head coach because you?re so focused on the job at hand. So when someone does, it makes you feel good. You organize your thoughts. How do you want to put an offseason conditioning program together? Free agency? The draft? How do handle your OTAs? How do you handle your camps? Things along those lines. People never ask you the question so I think it?s always good for assistant coaches to have interviews. I think every assistant coach eventually some day would like to be a head coach if it works out.?
On if he thinks Offensive Coordinator Kyle Shanahan is ready to be a head coach:
?For me, I?ll let other people judge that. I?ll let other people interview him.?
On if the team is still challenging the salary cap penalties:
?Well, I can?t answer that at this time so that means we?re still involved in it. Yes, we?re still involved in it. When I can speak about it, I will speak. But at this time, I can?t. I think that answers your question.?
On if the Seahawks took excessive shots at Griffin III:
?No. The Seahawks are a team that there?s always a lot of chatter and so there?s probably more chatter than you see in normal games. But no, I didn?t see anything like that. I think you?ve got two competitive teams. Some teams do talk a little bit more than others. It?s not really teams ? it might be two or three guys that get a lot of attention. But it happens in the National Football League. I could give you four or five teams that every time you play them, you?re going to get that type of chatter. It usually comes down to those guys.?
On what he was evaluating when deciding to play Griffin III:
?You?ve got to make a decision that?s not based on one or two things. You get a chance to evaluate him every day in practice. You see how he prepares. You see how he works. You talk to him on the sideline. You watch his footwork when he?s playing. So, it?s the things that you feel still gives you the best chance to win.?
On if his evaluation matched with the game film against the Seahawks:
?Yes, it did.?
On if he has given thought to restructuring players? contracts:
?No. I think I talked about that. This is not the time of year where we talk about free agents or restructuring contracts. What we try to do now is kind of go back and look at everybody. The offensive coaches will look at their players and evaluate their players and put them in a pecking order. The defensive coaches will do the same and we?ll do the same with special teams. Then, we?ll cross-check. Defensive coaches will look at all 16 games for the offense. The offensive coaches will look at all 16 games for the defense. They?ll evaluate the players. We?ll do that every year to kind of get a cross section of different opinions. We?ll do that with our personnel staff as well. We usually do that and get a little jump on free agency before we take off on vacation.?
On what changed after the first quarter against the Seahawks:
?You take a look at the first quarter and everything just clicked. When you take a look at the second, third, and fourth quarters, we didn?t move the ball very well. So, it was disappointing. We?ve got to execute better and it?s a combination of different things.?
On the offense?s performance against the Seahawks:
?Well, when you only average two first downs a quarter ? the second, third and fourth quarter where we weren?t doing a lot of things well as an offense ? I don?t break it down to one person because it?s just not one person that gets the job done. But I was very pleased with the first quarter and you could see we couldn?t do some of the things that we did in the first quarter.?
On if any coaches will be attending the Senior Bowl:
?First of all, with the Senior Bowl, I kind of encourage our coaches not to go. I think they?ve been hitting it pretty hard for all these weeks. We look at every film that they have at the Senior Bowl and all our scouts are there. They?ve talked to all these players individually. I like to coach it because you get the chance to really know them but to me when I go to the Senior Bowl, it?s more like a coaching convention. I would rather have them spend a little time with their families and doing the things that they need to do. When we get back here, we can study all those tapes.?
On Director of Player Personnel Morocco Brown interviewing with the Arizona Cardinals:
?I talked to Morocco today. He did have the interview. He thought it went well and we?ll just wait and see.?
On receiving criticism for playing Griffin III against the Seahawks:
?First of all, as a head football coach, you?re used to criticism. You make decisions based on what you think is the right thing to do and you listen to a lot of different people. You get their opinions sometimes during the game, sometimes during practice. Then, you make the call and you?ve got to do what you think is right. I got a lot of criticism for bringing in [quarterback] Kirk Cousins. You?re just used to it. [Wide receiver] Pierre Gar?on was ?a total bust? in Week 6-7. He couldn?t play. You get used to those types of things. But if you don?t believe in what you?re doing, if people got a chance to be in your shoes and be around the scenario, then maybe they?d understand the decisions you?d make. Robert?s our franchise quarterback and I?m not going to take the chance on his career to win a game. But I also know that when you?ve got the belief in a guy and you feel that he can play at a certain level and the doctors are telling you that he?s OK to go in, then you?ve got to do what you think is right. If I didn?t think it was right, he wouldn?t have been in. It?s just that simple.?
On if he would allow Griffin III to play in the Pro Bowl:
?First of all, again, I would speak to the doctors first and see what they say. But right now, I would think that there?s one thing that he?s concerned with and it?s getting that LCL well. So, I would say it?s probably a long shot but I don?t know that for sure until we figure out where he?s at with the examination.?
On if Dr. Andrews? comments put him in a tough position to answer questions from the media:
?Yeah, it sure does. But like I said, that?s part of being an NFL head coach and what I do is I just talk to Dr. Andrews, ?Hey Doc, just tell me what you heard, what you said.? I felt very good after my conversation with him so when things go different directions, you can?t control that. All you do is try to focus on the job at hand. The thing I?m excited about is our football team and that?s where I?m at. At the end of the season, we?ve got a lot of young guys going in the same direction. Next year, our goals are changed. Everybody believes that we?ll be at a very, very high level. When you do win the NFC East, they expect to win it again. That?s the standard. You create a new standard. How you practice? How do you play? They want to get to the mountain top. That?s what you like. That?s what you look for. I understand all these things come with the job, especially in a market like this with the quarterback that we have. You don?t find guys like that and to think we?re going to question the guy?s career to win a football game is crazy. But I understand the questions that happen. They?re good questions especially when a guy?s limping a bit. It?s part of the process.?
On if he addressed the team today:
?I don?t address the team. The only thing I brought everyone in here for was because I wanted them to talk to the coaches ? the assistant coaches. I spoke for a few seconds. I was going to have somebody else speak to the team today but they weren?t here. That?s the reason I did call them together. So, basically they got the assistant coaches. Before they left, we got their phone numbers. I said a few words but that?s about it.?
On if players ever take themselves out of games if they can?t play:
?Oh, yeah. Kory Lichtensteiger ? he knew he was out. He?d say it, ?Hey Coach, I tried.? Players know. Players know when they can?t play, the majority of them.?
On the season:
?I said to our football team after the game, I said, ?Hey guys, I could not be more proud of a group of guys.? Because when you?re 3-6 and you?ve got all the adversity we had, it?s really hard to overcome that to keep on working hard, as we?ve briefly talked about before, and that just shows you not only what type of talent we have but what type of character we have in our organization, what type of players that we?ve got. Because a lot of people, once they get a little criticism, they can?t fight through it. It?s the end of the world and they start pointing fingers. Not this group. We lost four games in the fourth quarter we could?ve easily won. Instead of being 3-6, we could?ve easily been 6-3. But to do what we did just says so much about the guys in that locker room. Leadership really stepped up with our captains. A lot of guys that we never knew would perform at the level? We?ve got guys coming in like [running back] Alfred Morris. You?ve got him coming in. You take a guy like Robert playing at that level. You?ve got some our free agents like Pierre coming in and [wide receiver] Josh Morgan coming in and you lose a guy like [tight end] Fred Davis. How do these guys play with some of the injuries, besides four starters and three backups? So, you feel good. You even feel better about the depth of your football team next year when these guys come back to your football team. Even though it?s bittersweet, you do have to look at the positives.?
On linebacker London Fletcher:
?I?ve never seen anything like that in my life. I?ve never seen a guy not practice and play at the level that he did. He couldn?t practice and for him to go in the games and play at that level, it kind of gave you an idea of what type of preparation he had during the week because you can?t do that without knowing somebody?s going to do that before they do it. That?s what he did.?
On safety Tanard Jackson?s suspension:
?I know it?s one year. So, I?d say one year to the day is when he?ll be allowed to come back in.?
On Griffin III?s MRI:
?There?s just differences of opinions when you do have a new MRI with previous injuries with the ACL and LCL. What they like to do is give people a physical exam instead of just looking at the MRI. They want to bring them back and that?s what Dr. Andrews wants to do ? an extensive physical exam and some more tests ? and that?s what he?s going to do.?
On what he thinks Griffin III?s injury is:
?I?m not going to even try to speculate. I?ll tell you when I know. That?s what you get paid for ? to speculate. So, I know you?re going to speculate either way so I just can?t because I don?t know.?
On when Griffin III will meet with Dr. Andrews:
?Dr. Andrews, from my understanding, is at the National Championship game tonight. His office is in Pensacola. I do know they?re going to meet tomorrow. That?s all I can tell you.?
On if Dr. Andrews was present for Griffin III?s MRI:
?I don?t know when he took off. I think he takes off right after the game so I don?t know if he was there for the MRI or not.?
On Griffin III?s previous injuries he referenced:
?The old ACL injury [at Baylor] and this latest injury with the LCL.?

Three suspects arrested in disappearance and death of young Calgary father
CALGARY — Police are expected to lay murder charges after the arrest of three people in the death of a young Calgary father whose remains were found months after his disappearance.
Ryan Lane was last seen in February in the city's northwest and his remains were discovered earlier this month, although police have not said where they were found.
Sheena Rempel, the mother of Lane's young daughter, was arrested Thursday along with her brother-in-law, Will Rempel.
Sheena's husband, Tim Rempel, was taken into custody in Grande Prairie, Alta., on Wednesday and will make a second court appearance Dec. 6 in Calgary.
Sheena Rempel said in a recent television interview that she was not involved in Lane's disappearance.
Police have said they believe Lane received a call the night he disappeared from someone offering to help him in a custody dispute, but his father, Bruce, has said his son was not in a custody battle.

My touchpad is no longer working since I've plugged in a USB mouse, before that it was working fine, never have had any issued with it. Under the devices, for mouse it says its working properly. I am wondering what I can do to fix my touchpad? I've tried restarting my computer.
Toshiba Satellite L675D-S7049
Thank you,

Go to Control Panel\Mouse\Device Settings\Uncheck the box in the middle of the window that says "Disable the internal pointing device when an external pointing device is attached".
Danielle, maybe you have the setting in CB's message.
Thank you for your response! But I went to check to see if it that was the issues and its not its already unchecked. Any other ideas?!
Thanks you for any help!
It's possibly just turned off. Try FN+F9 which turns the TouchPad on/off. Also, on that model, you should have a very small hard to see switch recessed in the keyboard bezel between the TouchPad and the Space Bar. That switch also toggles the TouchPad on/off.
If neither of those turn the TouchPad back on, reinstall the Synaptics TouchPad Driver located HERE.
Thank you for your response! It appears i have many problems. I had to restart my computer because my USB mouse wasn't working. Now i can get it to turn on at all the light for the power comes on but i think there should be another light for the hard drive to come on, and that isnt? I also determined last night that my windows update is not working either. My computer has been sent to the warranty repair 3 times already and i have actually just got it back not even 3 weeks ago. I don't think it's been updated since i have recieved it back.
Other issues i have had to send my computer in for warrant for:
-Over heating
-Not starting
-Keyboard completely stopped working
- Screen
Now this. I am not impressed with toshiba and i work part-time from home using my computer. Since i've sent it in twice just since septemeber. I have never had this many issues with a computer before. Are these problems common in toshibas?

Danielle, with all those troubles, most of which you didn't mention earlier, you need to consider recovering your computer back to the day it was brand new right out-of-the-box. It will be like starting all over again; however, you will lose everything you have added in the way of programs, data, updates, etc. If possible and you don't already have a backup on some external device, you need to do that first which will lessen the problems of restoration. For the complete procedure and a thorough discussion about HDD recovery, see your USER'S GUIDE starting on page 60 entitled "Recovery of Internal Storage Drive".
Good Luck!
Thank you! Your solution helped. I never noticed the tiny button above the touchpad. :-)

Buford-Bailey leaves Illinois
The University of Texas announced on Wednesday that Illinois women's track and field coach Tonja Buford-Bailey has joined its women's and men's track and field program as associate head coach.
Buford-Bailey, a former Illini sprinter, spent the last five seasons as the head coach of the women's program at her alma mater. She spent 10 years on the Illinois staff and also helped coach men's sprinters.
"It was a tough decision to leave my alma mater," Buford-Bailey said in a statement released by Texas. "The University of Illinois allowed me to grow as person, athlete and coach. They have been a family to me and I appreciate all the support I've received over the years and even during this process."
Buford-Bailey's athletes at Illinois earned All-America honors 25 times, including six NCAA titles, most recently 2012 and 2013 NCAA 400-meter champion Ashley Spencer.

I am an alumnus of Illinois and was a student-athlete there in the mid-to-late '90's. The U of I is great but they are a nickel and dime operation outside of their 2 major sports (and WBB but that doesn't count). Example: Auburn baseball just hired a new head coach for over $600K/yr. I don't know for sure but I think that Illinois pays their Head BB coach right at or around $100K. The Illini have made the NCAA tourney more times in the last 5 yrs than Auburn. The DIA tries to squeeze blood from a stone when it comes to sports outside of MBB and FB. WBB is a money pit for all but about 6 programs in the country. The pay for many WBB coaches DOES NOT reflect what they bring in. Most athletic depts lose $ hand over fist on WBB. Regardless, the U of I nickel and dimes way too much to keep good coaches. Sad to hear that Buford-Bailey is leaving but Illinois would rather be mediocre and save $ than compete for national titles and spend about 4% more of their budget to keep good coaches. Best of luck, coach!
Best wishes to Tonja Buford-Bailey. She has given a lot back to the University and has represented to the University well over the years, as a NCAA champion, Olympic medalist, Olympic coach and putting the women's team back in the national spotlight.
I wish the University could afford to pay her more, but I'm happy for her and her family. From everything I've read and heard, Austin is a great place to live.
TB-B, Congrats on new job and relocation for your family. Thanks for what you did as an Illini athlete and coach. Don't let VJ leave off the Orange & Blue over Burnt Orange when recruitment for class of 2017 kicks in. He will be missed in the Urbana Tigers Hoop program.

Things may appear to be business as usual, but the University of Northern Colorado athletic department is still a bit depleted on the second floor of Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.
We'll call it Patchwork Blue.
The most glaring weakness is that the Bears are still without a full-time athletic director, but the situation isn't being ignored.
As reported more than a month ago, UNC president Kay Norton has sort of peace-mealed the duties amongst a handful of athletic department employees to keep the ship at least moving in the right direction.
So far, so good, but Jay Hinrichs' old office is still empty and in need of occupancy. The sooner the better.
Out front, the Bears are indeed into the fall routine with Earnest Collins Jr., coaching football and veterans Lyndsey Oates and Tim Barrera at the helm for volleyball and women's soccer, respectively.
Behind the scences, the Bears are operating without a women's golf coach after Brandon White opted to make a careeer move and become the assistant men's coach at the University of Colorado.
Kudos to White, who loved and was addicted to his job at UNC, but could no longer pass up career opportunities.
Two familiar faces — NCAA faculty rep Bob Heiny and Jenny Shoop, the department's director of development and a former UNC golfer — have handled the coaching duties.
In the interim, UNC is saving a few dollars, but that my be the crux of the problem.
The bottom line is that head coaches of sports off the beaten path at UNC and assistant coaches are grossly underpaid.
You can take an educated guess that most of the salaries for coaches in those positions are in the $35,000 range — some less, but probably none more than that.
The reasoning or even argument about the situation can last forever, and I hate listing the overused phrase of "it is what it is," but ...
White's salary had just entered the neighborhood of $30,000, hardly suitable for a Division I women's golf coach, but not quite enough to keep somebody around.
It should be noted that he was also instrumental in fund raising, which also helped keep food on his table, but it's still hard to see him go.
A state of the art indoor facility in Greeley is owned by his family, but there's been no word on whether the Bears will continue to take advantage of its use in the winter months.
White was home-grown, a product of Greeley Central High School who came to UNC via Pepperdine University.
Under his direction, the Bears won their first Big Sky Conference title, had taken up residency atop the conference standings and leaders, and were making a habit of advancing to regional competition.
As a player, White was boo-yah when he was at the top of his game, once firing a state-record, 10-under-par 62 at Marianna Butte Golf Course in Loveland.
A staunch supporter of other sports at UNC, White was a good fit for the women's golf team.
He may have been an even better fit as a director of golf, a position once held by Wally Goodwin, the former Stanford coach — yes he coached Tiger Woods — who hired White at UNC.
White played a minor role in recommending Roger Prenzlow for the head job of the men's golf program and made it clear he'd be interested in staying on as a director of golf, which would have satisfied his quench for furthering his career.
The idea never caught on and one of Greeley's best in the coaching business got away.

Nice caravan .But not a lot of room in the bedrooms to move about.

The caravan was lovely and clean and very spacious. The beds are a bit small for two teenage boys but that seems to be the standard size bed in all caravans.

CLWR investors have been hanging onto hopes that Ergen/DISH, Verizon, or Softbank would step in fully or increase their offers despite the stock having traded sideways over the past ~ five months. The options have narrowed with the last best hopes hinging on legal actions that historically seldom pan out to yield much, if anything,for common stock investors, or for Son/Softbank to increase the offer for Sprint and Clearwire, which has looked increasingly unlikely to be above $3.50, only a marginal improvement in the recent price at best.
It makes me wonder why all the concern for what falls into the normal range of a stock's price movement? Is 30c-40c, roughly a 10% difference worth all this hubbub?
DISH's boisterous offer and issues raised to acquire Sprint looks unlikely to pan out imo. The harder Ergen tries to line up financing and denounce Softbank, the weaker they look. The big kahoona entrance by Carlos Slim/American Movil looks like just what its been, a rumor. Financing DISh has lined up looks underwhelming. Arguments appear more aimed at denouncing Softbank's recognized strengths than presenting DISH's. It just doesn't appear to add up to the 'superior offer' that's loudly been claimed.
DISH goes down on the deal.. but does away with heightened Wall Street, potential partners, and competitor's awareness.
Wow, that post got several thumbs down.. from CLWR stockzombies!
The price obviously went above the $3.50 mentioned in the post. However, it was written in the context a) that I had a buy recommendation still in place on the stock that I shifted to a hold/take profit at $4.40 and to a sell/take-profits yesterday. That buy recommendation was put in place when CLWR went below $2.60 several months ago .. and went to a strong buy when the stock had moved down below $1... back to just a buy as it rebounded higher. b) The longer term/bigger picture context has been that Clearwire has been a failed business plan: it IPO'd and then shot up on speculation to about 30 on a business plan to sell service to about 24 million subscribers by 2013. The plan was for half of those about 13 million to have been direct subs. It does not take a calculator to know that did not happen or that 13 mil times retail direct revenue would net to several times the same number (roughly 5 times) 12 mil times wholesale revenue (~$11/month). I keep forgetting... these are details stockzombies do not want to see posted. "Thumbs down.. we don't Like You!.. neener, neener, neener.. we'll take our ball to the other side of the playground and play by our rules!"
You were wrong again with the hold take profit at 4.40, CLWR is at 5.08 now.
Bump. I've been here since the ridiculous 3.40 rebid. It is obvious what the prize is to Dish and SB. I'm not sure what TR gets out of these ramblings, maybe out of loneliness, but for heaven sake it doesn't take a novel to get the point across.
SB wants global domination and sees value in S and CLWR. Dish wants a seat at CLWR and will pay top dollar to have a voice. It's laughable to sell your shares until one side cracks.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Why are you posting about what I post or why? Is this a 5 yo kiddy playground? ... apparently, yes..
"You were wrong..." that has been the litany for all posters who did not agree with whatever the storyline is that board posters want others (suckers) to buy into.
Why are my posts often long? Because ICT industry moves are not summed up with one-liners
Looks like you just got blown out of the water, friend. $4.40. This isn't a free market. It's winner take all, and Ergen is a winner.
Hi Teamrep,
Rewrite your first paragraph as CLWR hit a high of 3.51 today.
OK, I missed by a penny. However, the storyline holds true: DISH/Ergen are losing the arguments about security, superior offers, and the CLWR stock price is right within the range I forecast 5-six months ago. Also, FCC-DOJ approvals look almost certain, and the roll up of Clearwire will happen regardless of the load noises coming out of DISH.

In Brief: SpaceX Dragon returns to Earth from space station
SpaceX Dragon returns to Earth from space station
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- The commercial cargo ship Dragon returned to Earth from the International Space Station on Sunday, bringing back nearly 2 tons of science experiments and old equipment for NASA.
SpaceX's Dragon splashed into the Pacific, just five hours after leaving the orbiting lab.
"Welcome home, Dragon!" the California-based company said via Twitter.
After a one-month visit, the SpaceX cargo ship was set loose Sunday morning. Astronaut Steven Swanson, the station commander, released it using the big robot arm as the craft zoomed more than 260 miles above the South Pacific.
The SpaceX Dragon is the only supply ship capable of returning items to Earth. The others burn up on re-entry. This was the fourth Dragon to bring back space station goods, with 3,500 pounds aboard; it came down off Mexico's Baja California coast.
Police: Theater evacuated after 'popping noises'
FAIRFAX, Va. -- Authorities said someone set off two soda bottle chemical devices at a movie theater complex in northern Virginia, frightening patrons who fled after hearing what sounded like firecrackers or gunshots.
Fairfax County Police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell said no one was hurt though the theater and food court were evacuated of about 2,000 people early Sunday.
Fairfax County Police said moviegoers called 911 and reported suspicious "popping noises" around 12:15 a.m. Sunday at the AMC Tysons Corner 16 theaters. Caldwell said the investigation continues and anyone with information can contact police in Fairfax County.
Deputy Chief Mike Reilly, of the Fairfax County Office of the Fire Marshal, said the devices were made out of a plastic bottle with metal and an acid inside that reacted and exploded.
Burning bread crumbs send plane back to Boston
BOSTON -- The smell of burning bread crumbs forced a Miami-bound American Airlines flight to return to Boston.
An airlines spokeswoman said Flight 1532 took off from Boston's Logan International Airport at 6:36 a.m. Sunday, but passengers soon began smelling smoke.
The plane returned to Boston at 7:10 a.m., and the smell was found to be from bread crumbs burning in an oven.
The oven was cleaned, and the flight took off again at 8:20 a.m.
Racism claim dooms bid to honor Twain in Nevada
RENO, Nev. -- A state panel has effectively killed a bid to name a Lake Tahoe cove for Mark Twain, citing opposition from a tribe that claims he held racist views on Native Americans.
The Nevada State Board on Geographic Names this week voted to indefinitely table the request after hearing opposition from the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, whose ancestral homeland includes Tahoe.
Tribal representative Darrel Cruz says Twain is undeserving of the honor because he made derogatory comments about the Washoe and other tribes in his literature.
University of Nevada, Reno history professor emeritus James Hulse said it's irrelevant whether Twain did so because his writings were insulting to everyone, including governors and legislators.

Review: 'Silver Linings Playbook' plays by the rules but gets it all right
I haven't read Matthew Quick's novel, but I can see why David O. Russell was drawn to the material, and it feels like both the most commercial thing he's ever made and the most personal. After all, Russell is as well known for his on-set difficulties with anger as he is for the films themselves, and I'm sure there are people who have worked with him who would be happy to call him crazy. "Silver Linings Playbook" is about embracing whatever madness drives us, and it certainly seems like Russell is a guy who manages to make the most of his gifts no matter what his demons.
Pat (Bradley Cooper) has been in a mental hospital under court order for eight months as the film opens, and it's time for him to go home. His mother Delores (Jacki Weaver) comes to get him, and right away, we get a sense that something terrible happened to land him in there in the first place. Pat is determined to stay out, to rebuild his life, and when he speaks of his wife Nikki (Brea Bee), it's apparent that he believes they are going to get back together. It may not be that easy, though, and in the flashbacks we see, their relationship ended with a shocking act of violence on the heels of a betrayal, and while Pat may believe he's got a future with Nikki, it's pretty obvious he's fooling himself.
The thing about portraying mental illness on film is that you're dealing with one of the base animal fears of pretty much everyone in your potential audience, and the more stark and unadorned you make that portrayal, the more likely you are to drive the audience out of the theater in panic. When I see a movie like "Clean, Shaven," where it feels like I'm staring into the eyes of genuine madness, I am rattled by the experience. "Silver Linings Playbook" feels completely authentic, but it is not designed to terrify. Instead, there is a deep sense of empathy to the way Russell portrays Pat's breakdown and his struggles towards recovery, and he only amplifies that once he introduces Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), who is dealing with her own grief over the death of her husband. Ronnie (John Ortiz) and his wife Veronica (Julia Stiles) put the two of them together for an awkward dinner party/blind date, and it's immediately apparent that these two share a complete lack of conversational filter, something that draws them together instead of driving them apart. Pat is determined he's going to get Nikki back, though, and he doesn't want to do anything to jeopardize that. Tiffany, who needs a friend more than anything else, manages to corner Pat into helping her prepare for a couples dance competition.
What unfolds from there follows a certain formula, and I doubt anyone will walk about of "Silver Linings Playbook" bellowing about how amazing and original the resolution of the film is, but that's irrelevant. What matters is the energy between Lawrence and Cooper, and they are spectacular together. Cooper's never been this good on film, and I say that as someone who's been rooting for the guy since "Alias." This is the most fully realized character he's played so far, and he's heartbreaking in much of the movie. This is a guy who is constantly having to weigh every word, consider how each action is going to look to others, and who cannot trust himself to make the right decisions. He fights against taking his medication even when it's obvious that he needs it, and he holds onto delusion far past the point of it being pathetic. Even so, Cooper allows us to understand what drives the mania. It goes past being a portrait of a sickness to show us the human being who is affected by that sickness. I found myself particularly moved by the way he deals with his brother Jake (Shea Whigham) and his father Pat Sr. (Robert De Niro, who hasn't been this good in over a decade), and I think the film suggests strongly that Pat Sr. has his own unresolved mental health issues that fall into the "acceptably eccentric" category, but which are no less real than the ones that plague Pat.
Lawrence should silence all dissenters with her work here. If you think she's just the overhyped star of "The Hunger Games" or the indie darling of "Winter's Bone," check out how she brings Tiffany to life. She is brittle and emotionally bare and barely able to hold herself together, and she is all the more appealing for the honesty with which she plays the part. It is tremendous work, and while she is undoubtedly a gorgeous young girl, the physical appeal is the least important part of what makes the performance great. This is a great refutation of the whole "manic pixie dream girl" idea because Tiffany is often a giant pain in the ass. It's not endearing to watch her freak out in public and almost get Pat beaten to death by an angry mob. Her pain isn't just something she mentions to connect her to Pat… it is an active part of every choice she makes, and many of those choices are terrible. She comes across in the end as a real person with regrets and sorrow and a lack of any clear sense of direction.
For a romantic comedy or dramedy, as I guess you'd call this film, to really work, you can't just sit silently and watch the mechanics of the thing play out. You have to get personally invested in seeing the two main characters find some peace and love with each other, and "Silver Linings Playbook" does that better than any film of its type that I can name in the last few years. It might be my favorite romantic film since "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind," and I think that's because this film acknowledges just how hard we make things for ourselves, and just how easy they could be if we got out of our own way sometimes. It is a film that is filled with great supporting comic roles filled by actors like Chris Tucker and Anupam Kher, but it never goes for the cheap laugh over the honest observation. Like "Flirting With Disaster" or "Spanking The Monkey" or even "I Heart Huckabees," this is a film with its own cadence, its own particular sense of music, and it is a tremendous success for writer/director David O. Russell. Seems like he got out of his own way here, and the result should be nothing but sunshine for him and for audiences this holiday season.
"Silver Linings Playbook" opens in limited release this week and opens in wide release a week later.
