KALAMAZOO — A former Portage assistant city manager has been tapped to head the Kalamazoo County Transportation Authority, pending approval of a contract.
The authority board interviewed two candidates at a special meeting Tuesday and selected Sean McBride to become the authority's executive director, a newly created position, according to board member Linda Teeter.
McBride, currently assistant city manager in Tuscon, Ariz., served as assistant city manager in Portage from February 2003 to September 2009, according to his resume.
Three board members were directed to enter into contract negotiations with McBride. Teeter said she hopes a contract will be brought before the authority for approval by its Jan. 23 meeting.
McBride holds a bachelor of arts degree in economics from Colorado College and a master's degree in public administration from the University of Vermont, according to his resume.

Recipe: Bacon Wrapped Spanish Style Dates
This is a fun recipe to explore using different Savory blends and different types of nuts and cheeses stuffed into the dates.
- 7 slices thin bacon, cut into thirds
- 2 oz. Manchego cheese
- 21 pitted dates
- 21 Marcona almonds
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 2 tsp. Bohemian Forest European Style Seasoning
This recipe is also works well with Southern Spain Pinchito Spice.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut Manchego into 21 slivers small enough to fit inside dates. Stuff 1 almond and 1 sliver of cheese into each date. Wrap a bacon piece around each stuffed date and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 min. until bacon is crisp. Meanwhile, whisk balsamic, sugar and Bohemian Forest in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Simmer until thickened, 5 to 10 min., stirring frequently so it doesn't burn. Arrange bacon wrapped dates on a platter and drizzle with balsamic syrup.

The families of two missing women, brought together by the discovery of four bodies in Long Island, are reaching out to one another on Facebook, according to a report on Newsday.com.
"Hi Lorraine, your family is in my prayers Don't give up," the sister of missing Jersey City woman Shannon Gilbert wrote to Lorraine Ela of Maine, mother of Megan Waterman.
In response, the paper said, Ela wrote: "My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family that Shannan is safe and unharmed."
Gilbert has been missing since May 1 when she was "delirious'' and "irrational'' after meeting with a "client'' in Oak Beach, N.Y.
Waterman was last seen June 6 at a Holiday Inn in Happauge.
Although the bodies have yet to be identified, officials have said none of them is Gilbert.

Organically Hip, a local company that produces packaged cookie and baking mixes, has reached deals in recent months that are making its products available in more than 50 Tops Friendly Markets in the state and in Central New York Price Chopper stores.
Organically Hip's mixes include Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix (and a gluten-free version), Pecan Waffle Mix, Trailbar Mix, Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Mix, Telltale Brownie Mix and Cowgirl Cookie Mix.
Cavallaro Foods is handling local distribution for Organically Hip, a company that started as a home-based business in Clay three years ago and earlier this year moved to a production facility on Teall Avenue in Lyncourt, near Lyncourt Bakery.
Owners Maria Euceda and Angela Murphy say they have doubled their production in the past year, with the biggest growth coming in gluten-free mixes.
"We may add to the gluten-free line, since the demand is so high," Euceda said.

Jersey City civil rights activist Marcella P. West, who was once an aide to a Hudson County congressman, died last month in Newark. She was 87.
West, who grew up in Bayonne before raising her own family on Oak Street in Jersey City, worked for the local chapter of the NAACP, was a Democratic committee women for her district and worked as an aide to Cornelius E. Gallagher, the former congressman who represented Jersey City and Bayonne in the nation's capital.
West died on May 29 of natural causes. She had been living with her daughter in East Orange.
West's family described her as loving, considerate and generous.
"And feisty," said Rodney West, her son.
Rodney wasn't sure how exactly his mother snagged a gig as Gallagher's first African-American congressional aide.
"We were small," he said. "We were just glad she had a paycheck."
At the height of the civil rights movement, Marcella West attended the famous March on Washington in 1962, and later in life was an academic counselor at Montclair State College (now University), where she was a member of the faculty for 25 years.
She was a founding member of Inner City Broadcasting Corp., owners of several radio stations, and hosted a Sunday morning talk show for a year.
Her passion, though, was social activism. Earl Morgan, columnist for The Jersey Journal, said West was his advisor when he worked with the NAACP Youth Council in the early 1960s.
"There were a lot of battles up here," Morgan said, "and she was in the middle of it."
A memorial service will be held on July 13 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Caldwell College.

Two sorority roommates, Jessica and Amy, are walking together to their Sorority house. Both are wearing short white skirts, high heels and big sunglasses. All of a sudden two frat guys from last night's mixer come up them.
Chad: Hey Jess, what's up with your fine ass today?
Bran: Yeah, when can we hang Amy? You owe me dinner and a blow job.
Both girls giggle and act super silly, Jessica whispers something extra silly into Amy's ear and both girls start laughing because they're oh so silly sorority girls.
Chad: What do you skanks find so funny?
Jessica: Oh, nothing! (More giggling and acting super girly)
Amy: Jess has like, like a SUPER CRUSH on you Chad!
Jessica: Like Oh. My. God! You Bitch!!!

Jessica: Nice save Ame, I thought we'd have to talk to those douches for at least half an hour.
Amy: Yeah, I was saving that for an emergency. Pump the house music so none of the other girls bother us.

Sales Tip - Blowin' in the Wind
We all want the wind at our backs and the way to enjoy that is to go in the direction the wind is blowing. The wind is blowing in the direction of integrated media.
Advertisers have never cared about which media they are using to advertise. They want results. And they are finding integrated media campaigns produce results.
You have the advantage of representing broadcast, digital, mobile, social, and event.
Begin by asking professional, informed, open-ended questions of your advertisers and prospects to uncover their needs. Then propose all your media to satisfy their needs.

A Review Of Prospect Theory
Introduction (Via SSRN)
Prospect theory is a descriptive theory of how individuals choose among risky alternatives. The theory challenged the conventional wisdom that economic decision makers are rational expected utility maximizers. We present a number of empirical demonstrations that are inconsistent with the classical theory, expected utility, but can be explained by prospect theory. We then discuss the prospect theory model, including the value function and the probability weighting function. We conclude by highlighting several applications of the theory.
Excerpts (Via SSRN)
The objective of prospect theory is to describe how people make decisions when there is uncertainty about the consequences of their choices. Decision theorists distinguish between: decision under risk, situations in which the likelihood of events are known or objective such as a spin of a roulette wheel); and decision under uncertainty, situations in which the decision maker must assess the probability of the uncertain events and hence the likelihood of events are subjective (such as the outcome of a sports game) [3]. Although prospect theory applies to both risk and uncertainty we will focus on risk here for simplicity.
Example (Via SSRN)
In Situation 1, you are first given $1,000. You must now choose between two options. If you choose A, you will receive an additional $500 for sure. If you choose B, there is an equal chance that you will receive either an additional $1,000 or nothing.
Now consider Situation 2. This time you are first given $2,000. Again, there are two options. Perhaps you would like C, a sure loss of $500? Or, maybe you would prefer D, a 50% chance at losing $1,000 and a 50% chance at losing $0?
When confronted with Situation 1, most people prefer A, the sure $500, to the gamble B. On the other hand, when posed with a choice between C and D, most choose D, the uncertain loss, over the sure loss C. While both choices seem reasonable in isolation, Situation 1 and 2 are identical in terms of final consequences, reducing to a choice between $1,500 for sure (A and C), and a lottery that offers an even chance at $1,000 or $2,000 (B and D).

Off The Bone Barbeque
Dwight Harvey spent 38 years working for a company that made food for other people. He couldn't be blamed, then, for wanting to do something else once he happened upon his retirement from Frito-Lay; maybe just take a couple years to relax, to go fishing a couple of times a week and find a really comfortable chair in the living room to call home base until he was finally decompressed after the decades of corporate toil.
But Harvey had no intention of slowing down. All of his time was now his own, and he was going to make the most of it.
"Retirement is retirement," Harvey says with a chuckle. "You can only play so much golf and do so much fishing. After that, you're kind of sitting there saying, 'Okay, now what?' And we found after talking to other people at Frito that had retired that they didn't have anything to do. So this is what my wife and I decided we wanted to retire to."
What Harvey and his wife, Rose (she worked at Frito-Lay for 40 years), retired to was the renovation of an old gas station on Lamar Avenue that the now call Off The Bone Barbeque. They retired to hours, days, weeks and months of smoke, rub, all sorts of different meats and tireless tinkering with recipes and cuts. The Harveys retired into a heck of a lot of work, and what they've created is a barbecue haven unique to Dallas: no cut takes precedence over another, all meats are treated with equal reverence and the sauce sits at a place of honor. Dwight Harvey had no intention of recreating a particular barbecue; he had every intention of perfecting his own.
"Through the years of me cooking, the family experienced a lot of processes of trial and error, because that's what I like to do, is cook and eat," he says with a smile. "The family experienced a lot of that until we finally got the right combination. And it started with the ribs, because that's one of my favorite things to eat – and we use baby back ribs here – most places tend to use spareribs, but we're exclusive to the baby back ribs; that's what we prefer. So it started out ribs, and then we went to brisket, then we did the same thing with chicken, then sausage."
What resulted from Harvey's years of trial and error was his discovery that when meats were long-smoked over indirect heat – the venerable low and slow method – he preferred the flavor of Pecan wood to anything else, observing that "Pecan is sweeter, but you still get the smokiness that you want."
And then there's the sauce. There are those in this state that believe barbecue should be served sans sauce. And the Harveys are fine with that – they know their meats can stand on their own without adornment.
Nonetheless, they like barbecue sauce, and they've worked hard on their recipe. They're proud of it, and they're going to serve plenty of it.
"Our meats are good with or without the sauce, but there are plenty of other places you can go to where you taste the meat and say, 'Oh my, this needs sauce,'" says Rose, who creates all the dessert offerings at Off The Bone. "We try not to disguise the flavor of the meat, but to me it's about the meat and the sauce. Because I'm a dipper, and I want as much sauce on there as I can get."
Off The Bone's style of barbecue isn't Texas-style with regard to the sauce and the wood and the baby-back ribs, and Harvey calls it a little more 'gourmet' than most other places, which might be accurate, but it's certainly not a typical 'gourmet' restaurant. So, what kind of barbecue restaurant is it exactly? It evades easy categorization.
But what is clear is that Off The Bone Barbecue is Family Style. Family style in the sense that Dwight and Rose started the restaurant with their kids in mind, hoping they might continue the tradition. Family style in that it was the Harveys who worked on the recipes, tasted the variations from day to day and year to year until they perfected them all. Family style in that they work together, day after day, and couldn't be happier about it. Family Style in that it's only their son Steve who could best describe what the secret to Off The Bone Barbeque really is:
"You asked if there was a hidden secret to good barbecue, well, coming from a son's perspective, I think one of the secrets that sets up a barbecue place for success is being very personal, and everything here is reflective of [Dwight and Rose]. When I was growing up, I had friends from all over Dallas – from Highland Park to South Dallas – and one of the biggest treats for my friends was to come over for dinner because of the warmth they felt, the food that they tasted, the desserts that they had, and the way that they felt – like family. We were, and still are, a very close-knit family and they could feel that immediately – and it wasn't until I went off to college that I realized that wasn't normal.
So we incorporate that life, that same style, here. From when they walk in it's kind of like walking into our living room, walking into our kitchen. The way we greet them, the way that we love on them, the way that we invite them back. And then to the way that we prepare our food, everything is done by hand. Hand cut, hand selected, hand chosen. I'm sure we could save costs and labor costs and all these other things that we probably should be doing, but the style that my parents have made is reflective of our family. So when we get visitors, whether they're coming from MLK or they pull in to a Bentley from the Ritz Carlton, they're like 'Oh my gosh,' and that's similar to the feeling I remember having as a child.
So to me, if I could figure a way to brand that, that's really the Off The Bone Barbeque secret. Everything just has to back that up."
Dwight and Rose Harvey spent four decades with a company that made food for other people, and they're still doing it. But now they're making people feel at home, too.
And that's about as Family Style as it gets.

An insider's view of the Connecticut dining scene
May 22, 2014

Ted Turner Talks Bison in Stop at New Ted's Montana Grill in Hartford
'Life for me has been an adventure.'
—Ted Turner to Connecticut Magazine, 5/22/14
Ted Turner flew into Hartford Thursday morning to have lunch at his newest Ted's Montana Grill—a sparkling, welcoming and delicious addition to the nascent Front Street District—and in a chat with Connecticut Magazine the media visionary who created the 24-hour news cycle with CNN was eloquently passionate about his growing restaurant empire, as he also sprinkled the conversation with anecdotes from his long and fabled reign as one of the nation's wealthiest and most influential entrepreneurs.
Amid delving into the history, lore and commercial viability of bison, and the sweet, sublime taste of bison meat when transformed into luxe burgers at Ted's Montana Grill, Turner offered amusing snippets from the past like this one: "When [Turner Broadcasting System] merged with Time Warner, we thought it would be good," said Turner, sitting in a booth with award-winning restaurateur George McKerrow Jr., the co-founder of the Montana Grill and its CEO. "They said, 'How much are you making?' I said, '$250,000.' They said, 'That won't work. We all make $6 million. [So they gave me $6 million]. I was so mad."
It's a snapshot from that past that points to Turner's passion for using any and all resources smartly and well—from the land to livestock and other natural resources, the environment and something as essential as time itself.
The time Turner spent with Connecticut Magazine was largely devoted to the fundamental theme behind the creation and rise of the Ted's Montana Grill chain—the bison. (Right, a Red Rock bison burger.)
Turner explained that when he was a boy he was fascinated by nature and read all the books he could get his hands on about birds, animals, plants, history and geography. In doing so he encountered the story of America's native bison, which once roamed the Great Plains in legions estimated to have exceeded 30 million. By the time the "white men" were done hunting and slaughtering, there were fewer than 200 left, balanced on the rim of extinction.
"I literally wept," Turner says of his reaction. "It just broke my heart."
He recalls thinking, even as a boy, "If I ever get a chance … and make some money, I'm going to do what I can."
The media entrepreneur, environmentalist and philanthropist who also dreamed at a young age of winning an America's Cup sailing race—and did—and winning a world series—and did as owner of the Atlanta Braves—has also done what he could for the bison.
Given the rarefied level at which Turner lives, his efforts have translated into owning a herd of bison that currently numbers 51,000 and is apportioned among 14 of his 18 ranches—the ranches include three in Argentina—which, together with Turner's personal land, comprise two million acres, making him second largest private landowner in the country. (Right, a bison filet.)
He slaughters 10,000 bison a year, which not only provides meat to the marketplace but helps ensure the quality and sustainability of the herd. In a food-and-sustainability equation that some folks don't grasp, raising bison as meat animals doesn't threaten them but helps ensure their sustainability. It's like any commodity; the more in-demand it is, the more providers will work to enhance and expand the supply.
Turner and McKerrow are preserving the species as they educate consumers about the benefits of eating bison meat—it's sweeter and richer than beef, and has nutritional benefits, such as having less fat and cholesterol than beef and being a great source of iron.
Are customers buying into Ted's coronation of bison as the new and improved red meat? It seems so.
"In our restaurants, more people eat bison than beef," Turner says, later adding, "What we've learned is that people are very careful about what they eat. … It took us a while to get people to try it."
"We love beef, we love bison more," adds McKerrow. "It's a difficult product to work with. We've become experts."
The bison whose meat goes to market are slaughtered at two-and-a-half years, for example, the point when the meat is best and at its most tender and flavorful.
Turner and McKerrow estimate that between 25 and 40 percent of the bison served at Ted's locations come directly from Turner's ranches, explaining that—in order not to dominate the market and deter competition and other bison ranches—Ted's bison meat comes from the distributor Rocky Mountain Natural Meats, which also works with other ranchers.
"I have all kinds of animals," Turner says at one point, mentioning how he welcomed packs of wolves to live on his land, along with prairie dogs and more. He devotes approximately 70 percent of his grasslands to bison, reserving the other 30 percent to ensure good habitats and a place to live for other wildlife.
Being a passionate and wise steward of the land and other natural resources is becoming increasingly critical, Turner says, because "climate change is wreaking havoc in certain areas." In the next 20 years, Turner predicts a palpable impact on the nation's food supply—a message he happened to highlight just hours after a National Public Radio story in which one source said, for example, that Vermont would eventually have the climate of Virginia and Georgia, meaning the demise of maple trees and the syrup industry there.
Turner points out that Ted's is unique in that no other U.S. restaurant chain raises the food it features. The chain now number 45 restaurants, with the strongest markets being in the Denver area, Colorado and the Northeast. Plans are for the expansion to continue and the chain to essentially double by 2021.
Founded in 2002, Ted's Montana Grill has had its ups and downs—McKerrow told a paper in Atlanta that it took the chain 10 years to become an "overnight success"—though the downs seem to be in the rear view mirror.
The soft opening of the Hartford location was the most vigorous for any Ted's, McKerrow says, adding, "We like to be part of urban reclamation areas." He noted that Hartford came to be on the radar because of the success of Connecticut's first Ted's, located at The Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk in South Windsor.
The emerging Front Street District of Hartford—not far from Main Street and a stone's throw from the Hartford Public Library—remains very much under construction, and hopes are high that it will be a renaissance zone for the city, especially with a second location of the popular Infinity Music Hall & Bistro (the first is in rural Norfolk, Conn.) opening right across the street from Ted's.
Hartford Mayor Mayor Pedro E. Segarra stopped in Ted's Thursday, got a warm reception from Turner and lauded the new restaurant, the potential of Front Street and the opportunities for synergy among the businesses. He confessed his love for the Salt-N'-Pepper Onion Rings (below), saying his personal best is tackling four of these giant rings of homemade delight.
And that comes to the heart of the reason Ted's will be a continuing success story in Hartford and beyond—the quality of the food and the all-fresh, all-natural approach.
"Inspired by the pioneer spirit of the American West, Ted's Montana Grill is committed to serving honest food served with genuine hospitality," says the press material on the Hartford opening. "The menu is known for its modern interpretation of hand-prepared, 100 percent fresh classic comfort food. The chef-inspired menu features the finest cuts and best selection of bison, including high quality, flavorful steaks and award-winning burgers amongst a variety of other unique menu items. All meals are made from scratch fresh daily—nothing frozen or microwaved."
"Popular appetizers include Salt-N'-Pepper Onion Rings, fresh-cut potato chips with creamy ranch onion dip and St. Phillip's Island Crab Cakes with fresh guacamole and coleslaw," Ted's explains. "Classic dishes include steaks, meatloaf, pot roast, pecan crusted trout, cedar plank salmon and beef and bison burgers. Meals are served with sides ranging from fresh-cut fries to Aunt Fannie's squash casserole. But no meal is complete until you try some of Ted's homemade cookies or fudge brownies." (Ted's uses Certified Angus Beef, National Bison Association-certified bison, all-natural chicken and premium seafood, and "also believes in fresh, sustainable, organic and locally grown ingredients.")
The newest Ted's Montana Grill is located at 35 Front Street in downtown Hartford and officially opened May 12. The floor plan of the 4,600-square-foot restaurant features an open kitchen and a dining room that seats 120 in booths and at round tables. The bar seats 25 and serves handcrafted cocktails, beer and wine.
"Ted's Montana Grill serves time-honored favorites in a relaxed setting reminiscent of the 19th-century American frontier," the press materials explain. "The design of the Hartford location is inspired by old western saloons, with all the romance and classic touches that make it feel luxurious, but in a casual, warm way." The décor features mahogany paneling, pressed tin ceilings, brass fixtures and beautiful crown molding.
As part of its philosophy, Ted's Montana Grill incorporates many eco-friendly technologies and practices—from low-voltage, compact fluorescent light bulbs to menus printed on recycled paper, along with paper straws, wooden drink stirrers, cornstarch to-go cups, recycled coasters and biodegradable to-go cutlery and cardboard containers.
According to the Ted's website, here's how it all started:
Ted's Montana Grill began with two American entrepreneurs and a dream. As a business leader, philanthropist, environmentalist and avid outdoorsman, Ted Turner decided to share his love of Big Sky Country and its tradition of hearty food. He also wanted to celebrate an American icon: The bison who once thundered across the Great Plains. Ted joined forces with famed restaurateur George McKerrow Jr., a pioneer and leader in casual dining, and together they created Ted's Montana Grill.
The first Ted's Montana Grill opened in Columbus, Ohio, in January of 2002. Ten years later, every Ted's is a proud tribute to the ingredients, meals and hospitality that define the Great American West while preserving and building the bison herds in America. By featuring the biggest bison menu in the world, Ted's Montana Grill has made bison a popular menu choice today in dining, providing incentive for ranchers to actively grow their herds.
Like bison at home on the range, our guests know they will always feel welcome at Ted's Montana Grill. Our commitment to showing guests the genuine hospitality that keeps them coming back is what we call, "Big Sky Spirit." This is a place where they know they'll always find a greeting and a meal that makes them glad they visited.

Alan Blaney this afternoon remained jailed on a $1 million bond after he was arraigned Monday at the Saginaw County Governmental Center on three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, which involves serious variations of touching.
Second-degree criminal sexual conduct is a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
Saginaw County Sheriff William Federspiel said Blaney spent Thursday night sleeping at a friend's house in Burt when, at about 2 a.m., Blaney "snuck" into the friend's 2-year-old daughter's bedroom and sexually assaulted her.
"The homeowner's wife heard Blaney get up and walk down the hall toward the bathroom," the sheriff said. "After a few minutes, she thought (Blaney) was in the daughter's bedroom."
When the wife discovered Blaney leaving the daughter's bedroom, Blaney explained he went inside to put a set of fallen blankets over the 2-year-old girl's body, Federspiel said.
The daughter, though, told her mother a different story, Federspiel said.
"Then there was a confrontation between the homeowner and Blaney, and Blaney fled and hid in a cornfield," the sheriff said.
Detectives answered the homeowner's 911 call and located the 24-year-old in the field that same morning, arresting him, Federspiel said.
The ensuing investigation showed Blaney also was named as a suspect — but never charged — in two sexual assault allegations against children under 10 in 2004 and 2010, Federspiel said.
Blaney, who confessed to the Thursday crime, admitted Thursday's victim wasn't his first, the sheriff said.
"'There are too many (victims) to count,'" Federspiel said Blaney told investigators. "So here we have a self-professed serial pedophile."
The sheriff said individuals in the region with children who came into contact over the years with Blaney and suspect the 24-year-old may have committed similar crimes with other children can contact sheriff's Detective David Kerns at 989-790-5446.
"We need to find out more about it," Federspiel said. "We want to help those who have been violated. Someone like Blaney is a monster who preys on young children."
Federspiel said he was unsure why Blaney spent the night at his friend's house. The two planned to search for scrap metal together in the morning, but Blaney may have wanted an excuse to spend the night in the same house with the 2-year-old girl, Federspiel said.
Blaney has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Sept. 7, in front of Saginaw County District Judge Kyle Higgs Tarrant.

The Encampment at Fort York
June 15 kicked off the city of Toronto's War of 1812 celebrations, with an abundance of free and lively events around town in conjunction with the Luminato Festival. The Canadian Encyclopedia attended a handful of events, one of which was a unique art installation called The Encampment at Fort York.
The Encampment features 200 canvas tents packed tightly together, transforming Fort York into the kind of military camp and temporary village that would have existed during the War of 1812. The tents serves as a visual reminder of what the fort would have looked like and also imagines the lives of the people caught up in the war.
The artists behind the installation, Thom Sokoloski and Jenny-Anne McCowan, gathered dozens of stories from both Americans and Canadians who lived during the war and asked 100 artists to create exhibits inspired by their lives. These exhibits are displayed inside the tents, and they range from eerie (a completely empty tent) to oddly stirring (charred crosses piled below a tattered British flag).
One tent is devoted to the story of Tecumseh's second in command, Stiata, a warrior and mentor, who captured American General James Winchester and was part of all the major battles of the War of 1812. Inside the tent a beaded owl represents his wisdom and years and a skull on a spike his bravery and ferocity as a warrior.
The Encampment will be on display at Fort York until June 24.

WVU's Eastwood Impression
Say the phrase "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" and it would be easy to think of Clint Eastwood.
But, say those same words around Mountaineer fans and they will be the first to tell you that they describe this year's version of the old gold and blue following WVU's first five games of the season.
All three were in play during Saturday's upset of No. 11 Oklahoma State and, just like in the movie, The Good proved to win out in the end.
It doesn't take long to discover The Good when it comes to West Virginia. Keith Patterson's defense has, for the most part, been the silver lining in what has been an up and down third season for head coach Dana Holgorsen.
The most maligned unit following last year's 7-6 collapse, the defense has moved up the Big 12 standings to rank No. 3 in total defense, allowing 345.4 yards per game, No. 6 in scoring (19.6 ppg) and rushing defense (157.0 ypg) and No. 4 in pass defense (188.4).
The three turnovers, as well as its valiant first-and-goal stand when OSU had the football at the WVU 3, were critical in West Virginia improving to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in conference play with a road game at Baylor next Saturday night.
"Obviously, they are playing much better," OSU head coach Mike Gundy said. "They are more gap responsible. They are running to the football. They are better tacklers than last year."
Just as obvious is a Mountaineer offense that can best be described at The Bad.
Yes, the unit put 23 points on the scoreboard and amassed 388 yards of total offense against the Cowboys.
But, the running game is nearly non-existent and there were times first-time starting quarterback Clint Trickett spent more time running for his life than looking for an open receiver.
"We're still not close to being perfected, but it was a beginning," offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said. "The one thing we did was that we kept competing."
If the unit can continue that improvement next week against the Bears, then a second straight victory over a Top 25 team is possible.
That is if The Ugly – WVU's special teams -don't bury the team in a landslide of costly mistakes like it nearly did on Saturday.
Yes, there were bright spots.
The play of punter Nick O'Toole as well as former Parkersburg South player Michael Molinari on kickoffs consistently left the visitors with a 'long field'.
But, a Ronald Carswell kickoff return to open the second half which left the Mountaineers starting at their own 3 as well as a fair catch by the same player on a punt that appeared to be headed into the end zone, are the mistakes which haunted the old gold and blue in losses to Oklahoma and Maryland.
And will keep the Mountaineers continuing the winning ways in Waco this weekend.

A reader writes, asking for our favorite movie so far this year. The answer is easy --- we don't have one, although we will by the last week of December.
We keep a running tab throughout the calendar year of our top 10 films, our bottom three, and our five favorite performances in each of the acting categories that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recognizes.
We don't share this list with anyone until late December, when we share it with everyone --- readers, movie studios, publicists, friends, heads of state, prisoners. This is basically because the list is woefully incomplete until then.
What we do feel confident saying is that "The Visitor," a little indie starring Richard Jenkins that occupied a few screens in Manhattan during April and May, will be on our top 10 list at year's end. And "Speed Racer" --- a big-budget spinout that the Wachowski brothers made for, basically, nobody, which is who saw it --- will almost certainly be among our worst three movies of the year.
So far this summer is shaping up to be like a lot of recent such seasons. The big blockbusters, expensive and loud and showoffy, are getting the big box-office numbers, but we can't say we've been particularly excited about any of them so far.
Yet there are small films, right and left, fully worthy of note. Just last week we mentioned three of them --- "When Did You Last See Your Father?", "Mongol," "The Promotion" --- each wholly different from the next.
And there will be others as this summer plays out. Few if any of these titles will ever find a screen on Staten Island, which is a conversation we're sure to have many times on this blog, but that's no excuse for not seeking out good films, either by venturing into Manhattan or waiting for them to arrive on DVD.

What We Are Seeking
As part of the effort to expand the Yad Vashem collections dealing with the experiences of the Jews during the Holocaust period, we are making concerted efforts to locate, document and collect original material.
Every original item interests us, even the seemingly simplest object. The only limitation is that it be originates from the period before the war, from between the Nazi rise to power and until the liberation, the period immediately after the war (including the DP camps), or the time of legal or illegal immigration to Eretz Israel. In addition, it is very important to us to hear the story behind each item. If necessary, we will accept copies of the original items.
Through these items and the stories accompanying them we will be able to preserve the events of the Holocaust in a tangible way for future generations.
Letters, postcards, personal documents: passports, identity cards, certificates, report cards and other ephemera, diaries, memoirs, poems, compositions, calendars, official correspondence with Jewish and non-Jewish organizations and offices, as well as any document related to the fate of the Jews during the 1930s, the war, or afterwards, extending into the 1950s.
Personal and family photographs, photographs of events during the war, DP camps and aliya to Israel, albums, etc.
Original films documenting events before, during and after the war, recorded testimonies, etc.
Personal effects – clothing, insignia, drawings, books, jewelry, documents, etc., toys and any item used for play or creative activities- items created by children and items made for children.
Family possessions – household utensils, eating utensils, furniture, religious objects, etc.
Community items – Ritual objects, artwork; crafts, insignia and documents.
Any object created or used by Jews in the ghettos, camps, forests, in hiding, etc.
Items found in the home (or sent to you from the home or the community) after liberation.
Works of Art
Drawings and sketches created under Nazi occupation by Jewish and non-Jewish artists.
If you yourself do not have materials, but you know of people who would be willing to contribute items that meet the above criteria to Yad Vashem, please refer them to us or send us their details. Please include the accompanying story, since the story is just as important as the object itself.
To submit documents, photographs, and any other item, please contact:

Passage of a resolution is all that's needed now on a once highly contested planning board application approved last week to convert hangar space for a State Police helicopter crew in Somerset County.
The Bedminster planning board is expected to vote on the resolution next month to make official the approval that allows 1,920 feet of interior hangar space renovations for the flight crew of a medevac helicopter currently operating at Somerset Airport.
Attorney William Mennen IV, who represents the airport's principal family owner, Dan Walker, said building permits will likely be filed with the township before the planning board meets to vote on the resolution Oct. 2.
"It truly is just a formality," Mennen said. "If for some reason they didn't vote, there's no reason why we couldn't start construction."
The go-ahead comes after a barrage of objections from neighbors over the helicopter's move to Bedminster from the rooftop of University Hospital in Newark in 2005. The objectors included some of the area's wealthy residents, like media mogul and one-time presidential candidate Malcom Forbes Jr., and officials in Bridgewater Township.
But it was Alan Harwick, head of a tri-town residents group that scrutinized the application, who spoke most often for the opponents and complained the helicopter would bring the community pollution and noise.
Harwick, also an attorney, filed several unsuccessful lawsuits and said he now does not know what the Bedminster, Branchburg and Bridgewater Concerned Citizens Coalition will do after the planning board gave its approval on Thursday. However, he and other neighbors have not said they plan to give up the fight.
"We can do better than this," said one of the objectors, Aleta Fischer of Bridgewater.
Mennen had argued that objectors charted the application process off course, by opening a debate over whether the helicopter should be allowed at the airport.
He insisted a judge's decision in 2006 settled the matter, finding that the helicopter was a permitted use. But the board also began to have questions and shut down the application process in December that year after State Police refused to appear before the panel.
The airport's owners responded with a lawsuit, which was dropped under the terms of a settlement that reopened the application.
Mennen said the settlement affirmed state Superior Court Judge Robert Reed's decision, and ensured the application would be the only focus of the planning board meeting last Thursday.
The board met for more than four hours to review the plan, which calls for construction of an entry vestibule and closet, two rest rooms, a kitchenette and four offices for the flight crew of a medevac helicopter.
The meeting, Mennen said, was kept focused on the renovation of an existing hangar space, "from one permitted use, to a judicially determined, permitted use," he said, referring to Reed's determination.
The board also discussed stipulations in the plan, including adequate septic, water, parking and exterior lighting.
A planner, surveyor, and Nancy Hamstra, director of emergency medical services at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, which runs medical services on the helicopter, were called on to testify by Mennen at the hearing.
Attorney Robert Simon, representing Bedminster resident Phoebe Weseley, cross-examined all three and delivered a statement before the board approved the application in a 5-2 vote.
Simon said today the outcome was not surprising and his client had not yet decided on another course of action. Challengers have 45 days to file claims after the resolution is approved, he said.
Mennen said the discussion was over, and the hangar conversion was moving forward.
"What happens next?" he said, referring to the objectors. "The ball's in their court."

Apparently not content with its recent search results page makeover, Google appears to be testing a new search interface that locks the top navigation bar, search box, and Google's vertical search options (images, video, news, etc.) in a fixed position. This change means you would no longer have to scroll to the top of the SERP to enter a new search query and makes it easier to switch to Google News, Google Images, or one of Google's other left-side options.
Also getting a fresh new look: Instant Previews. The magnifying glass is moved further to the right rather than appearing directly next to the website's name. Additionally, you have to hover over the magnifying glass icon to activate the preview. Currently, clicking on any of the text in a search result will load the preview. Also, the website link, URL, "cached" and "similar" links appear above the Instant Preview, which isn't the case now.
This YouTube video shows the sticky bar and new previews:
Optimized for Infinite Scrolling?
Although nothing is for sure at this point (many of Google's tests don't get beyond the experimental phase, and there were erroneous reports of Google testing infinite scrolling late last year), this new search user interface has prompted speculation that Google may be preparing to introduce infinite scrolling (something Marissa Mayer didn't sound too excited about), which could potentially have huge SEM implications. In Google's case, infinite scrolling would mean eliminating pagination, so users wouldn't have to click on Page 2, 3, 4, etc., or the "Next" link to see more results.
For SEO, infinite scrolling would mean the end of "ranking for page 1," as there would only be one page. It could also change user behavior, as they might be more willing to look beyond Google's top 10 results and click on results that typically are more "buried" on Page 2 or lower.
One study has already suggested that tablet (specifically: iPad) users are more willing to go deeper into the search results, making a top spot in Google less valuable.
For AdWords, it would be interesting to see if advertisements scrolled down the page, or if they would remain locked at the top of the page. Would infinite scrolling harm smaller advertisers?
Google is also big on speeding up search (touting the 2-5 seconds saved per search with Google Instant and the forthcoming prerendering in Instant Pages), what better way than to not force users to click on a page number to get their search results? This would also make sense for touchscreen devices, which coincides with Google's increasing focus on mobile.
Google has previously introduced "instant scrolling" for Google Images (following Bing's lead), which lets you see up to 1,000 images per page, and a scrolling map that appears on the right on Places searches.
Startup search engine DuckDuckGo provides infinite scrolling results.

YPSILANTI, Mich. - Senior pitcher Meredith Whitney broke Bonni Kinne's 28-year old career strikeouts record of 593 with seven punch outs, now giving her the mark at 595, in WMU's 7-3 win at Eastern Michigan on Saturday.Whitney entered the season with 495 career K's and needed to get only to the Broncos' 28th game of the season to surpass Kinne's mark, set six years before Whitney was born.
The Scottsdale, Ariz.' native's record-breaking strikeout was her sixth of the game. It came with one out in the inning and was on a 3-2 count to EMU's eighth hitter in the line up.
The game itself had its ups and downs for the Broncos as Eastern Michigan jumped out to a 2-0 lead after two innings. WMU scored seven straight runs between the fourth and seventh innings before the Eagles had an answer.
Courtney Rousseau, who went 3-for-4 with two runs score and an RBI, started things off in the fourth for WMU with a lead off single and later scored on Diana Patterson's fielder's choice. Pinch runner Bri Russell later scored on Jennifer Tschetter's ground out to tie the score.
Tara Buchanan gave WMU a 5-2 lead with one swing of the bat in the fifth, belting a three-run home run, her fifth of the season and the 13th of her career, to score Elisha Handshoe and Rousseau.
The Broncos capped their scoring with a pair of runs in the seventh when Rousseau drove in Whitney, who also had a pair of hits on the day, and Mackenzie Shepeck scored on Gracie Barstad's fielder's choice RBI.Read full release with Whitney's quotes at www.wmubroncos.com

HOBOKEN - Tensions ran high Wednesday as the City Council eventually voted 5-4 to replace a Housing Authority commissioner, but not before the ex-commissioner threatened a lawsuit and council members engaged in a heated exchange.
Council President Ravi Bhalla said the city's hands were tied in the matter since the state Department of Community Affairs determined that Marianne Camporeale, a 79-year-old disabled senior, was no longer a sitting commissioner since she had failed to complete two courses of required training.
Camporeale and the city were notified of the DCA's determination on Monday, officials said.
If the city didn't act to replace her, the DCA could step in and appoint someone to the post, Bhalla said.
Camporeale, a feisty 79-year-old, implored the council to allow her to keep her seat, threatening discrimination lawsuits if she was replaced.
"I'll take your house, your student's college tuition, even the clothes off your back," she yelled, directing her anger to Mayor Dawn Zimmer and Bhalla.
Camporeale said she was unable to finish course work due to her disability, and was planning on making up the work within the next month.
Led by Councilman Mike Russo, the members of the minority voting bloc on the council, argued Camporeale had 90 days to complete the course work.
Bhalla called using Camporeale's disability as an reason for keeping her a commissioner "disgusting and deplorable."
Exchanges between council members got more and more heated and personal. Councilman Tim Occhipinti stormed out of the meeting, calling the measure "ridiculous."
Eventually, Bhalla, along with council members David Mello, Jen Giattino, Carol Marsh and Peter Cunningham, voted to replace Camporeale on the housing board with city resident Greg Lincoln.
In a similar 5-4 vote, the council voted to use eminent domain to acquire four lots for parks in the northwest section of the city. The sites are located near Sixth and Jackson streets, and near 13th and Adams streets.

Do you know there are people of Mexican descent in the U.S military who would fight for Mexico if it ever came to blows between Mexico and the U.S?
I find this statement sooo funny. the mexicans in the US already chose not to fight for mexico. There is a war going on in mexico right now. all this mexican Pride yet none of them are going home to fight the drug cartels for mexico. So please stop pretending to be proud of mexico. If you disagree with me. by all means go to mexico and prove me wrong. Thats what i thought!

Thomas Aquinas College is one of the nation's 75 "Best Value" private schools according to The Princeton Review in its just-published book, The Best Value Colleges: 2014 Edition [1]. The College is the only Catholic college in California to be named a "Best Value," and one of only five Catholic institutions in the country, along with Boston College, the College of the Holy Cross, Georgetown University, and the University of Notre Dame.
"We commend Thomas Aquinas College and all of our 'Best Value Colleges' for their outstanding academics," says Robert Franek, The Princeton Review's Senior VP/Publisher. "Equally impressive are their efforts to be affordable to students with need — either via comparatively low sticker prices, generous financial aid, or both."
Adds Thomas Aquinas College President Michael F. McLean, "On this feast day of our patron [2], St. Thomas Aquinas, we are delighted to receive this good news. We strive to make the education we offer both excellent and affordable. Being among the Princeton Review's 75 'Best Value Colleges' is great encouragement for our parents, faculty, and benefactors, all of whom do so much to provide a genuinely Catholic liberal education to our students."
In its profile of Thomas Aquinas College, The Princeton Review quotes extensively from students at the College who were surveyed for the book. Among their comments:
USA Today, The Princeton Review's publishing partner for this project since 2009, has posted the 2013 list and an exclusive database [3] of "Best Value Colleges" on its website. There, users can find detailed stats and facts about each college and sort the list several ways including by state, tuition, enrollment, and average freshman grant.
The Princeton Review selected its "Best Value Colleges" schools based on institutional data and student opinion surveys collected from the 650 colleges and universities that it regards as the nation's academically best undergraduate institutions. The selection process analyzed more than 30 data points broadly covering academics, cost, and financial aid.
USA Today, the Princeton Review's publishing partner for this project since 2009, has also posted the Company's 2014 list and a database of "Best Value Colleges" information [4]. There, users can find detailed statistics and facts about each college and sort the list several ways including by state, tuition, enrollment, and average freshman grant.

DETROIT – Veteran defenseman Ian White can't crack a crowded Detroit Red Wings defense that has been playing well lately, raising questions about his future with the team.
White spoke with coach Mike Babcock and general manager Ken Holland about his situation and said Thursday that he hasn't asked for a trade, nor does he expect to be moved anytime soon, if at all.
"We're not there yet,'' White said. "This is Game 5 (being scratched), you play so many games in a condensed period, it can get away from you pretty quick. All the sudden you look, after the weekend that's seven straight games, if you don't play.
"You just try to get a determination of where (Babcock) thinks you fit and where Ken thinks you fit, now and going forward.''
White will be a healthy scratch for the fifth consecutive game tonight against the Edmonton Oilers.
Babcock sat White following an 8-3 victory over Vancouver on Feb. 24 because he was having trouble getting the puck out of his zone. Since then Brendan Smith and Kyle Quincey returned from injuries and Babcock has used the same six defensemen. The team has allowed only five goals in four games, prompting him to stick with the same group.
White said he remains confident he can contribute.
"From speaking with them, they made it clear they want to keep me around,'' White said. "You just hope by keeping you around it means putting you in the lineup. Hopefully, I'll get back in soon and forget about this.''
Babcock indicated it would take a poor defensive game or an injury to get White back in the lineup.
"We've been playing pretty solid defensively, not letting in too many goals, so it's tough to change the defense up,'' White said.
White, 28, is not accustomed to being the odd-man out. He played on the top pairing with Nicklas Lidstrom most of last season, after signing a two-year, $5.75 million free-agent contract on July 2, 2011. White has played more games (492) than anyone on Detroit's defense.
"You got to come to the rink and be a good teammate; can't put yourself above the team and be pouting and moping around here,'' White said. "That doesn't do anyone any favors.
"Just try to stay positive, there's more to life than just hockey. You got your family at home to worry about. But, it's really a frustrating time.''
He understands it's difficult to change a winning lineup and a defense that has played well. The Red Wings could have nine healthy defensemen next week, when Carlo Colaiacovo is expected to return from a shoulder injury.
"It's a little bittersweet because you want to be with the guys when they're playing well,'' White said. "When they're playing well, you seem to play well, too. So it's frustrating all around, but usually there's some sort of reasoning behind it that helps make it more understandable.''
All he can do is skate hard after practices and be ready when he's called upon.
"The one thing you kind of lose a little bit is your timing. Even your hands a little bit,'' White said. "More than anything, just mentally you got to stay positive.
"Times like this you question your abilities. You can't do that. You got to stay true to yourself. You know you've had success in the past, you know how to play the game. When you do get that next opportunity, you got to go back to playing the way you know how.''
