I really, REALLY hate how Avast bugs you to register, but it seems like the only good free one out there. From what I've heard, MSE has gone downhill, right? Any suggestions? I'm using a SSD for booting up and a 2 TB HDD to install programs and store files, if some antivirus programs don't play nice with that kind of set up for some reason.
Oh, and I do have the free version of Malwarebytes. Is the full version worth it?

That will tell you how all the top anti-virus software compares.
I recommend Avast! to everyone, it's free for home use, doesn't use up too many system resources, and has a great detection rate. I put it on every PC I build/upgrade/fix, unless the owner specifies otherwise (which is rare, but some users, for example, only use Kaspersky because their bank recommends it - Kaspersky is great, but it's not free, and Avast! is just as good for the home user).
I'd also recommend you install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (the free for home users version) as both Avast and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware work together without clashing, so you have two anti-virus programs on your side in case one of them misses an infection. Download them from;
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
then before you install them, remove uninstall Norton, reset the PC again, then install the above two.

Avast! bugs you to register once a year. And all it wants is an email and they never send you anything.
I don't see the problem. Make a junk e-mail account. Forget about it.

I gave Avast a try a week ago.
It cut my system speed in half and decided that nearly every program I had was a virus, then it would hang the system.
The uninstall did not work either because it thought it's own uninstall was a virus.
uninstall in safemode did not work either.
I had to use my tablet to download a cleaning tool, then transfer to my cell phone via bluetooth, then use cell phone to plug into computer and get the remover tool.
A lot of effort.
For now I am sticking with Avira, which has gotten a lot worse with every version, but still doesn't behave more like a virus than actual viruses do.
My latest complaint with Avira is they, like Microsoft, have forgotten that computers are meant to be used, not rebooted. So it likes to nag you to reboot after every update now. And they removed the ability to turn off the auto software update.
MSE did catch a virus for me a couple nights ago. I was trying to find the community patch for populous the beginning. I thought I found it, but it was a Russian website (so you immediately know something is wrong) and I extracted the zip file inside a sandbox and while extracting MSE found a virus in the replacement game executable. So +1 for passive scan on MSE.

I still highly recommend MSE. A lot of people point to the fact that it misses a lot of 0-day malware and that the microsoft engineers even stated as much, but that shouldn't matter for the common user. How often does one get stricken with a 0-day exploit?
It still has the best integration of any antivirus out there, it's fast, light and easy to use.

Yeah. I like MSE too, for the simple fact it can mostly be installed, scheduled, and forgotten. Combine it with a periodic scan with Malwarebytes, a decent ad blocker and user education for a decently effective protection.

text: oregon lottery Oregon Audit: Lottery Policies Have Allowed De Facto Casinos By Chris Lehman • Aug 27, 2015 Listen Listening... / A new report Thursday from the Oregon Secretary of State says lax enforcement has allowed hundreds of de facto casinos across the state. Non-tribal casinos are banned by the state constitution. Oregon Lawmakers: No Food Stamps For Lottery Jackpot Winners By Chris Lehman • Apr 8, 2015 Beth77 / Flickr Oregon lawmakers decided Wednesday to make it less likely for people who win big at the Oregon Lottery to keep getting public assistance. The Lottery likes to dangle the possibility of winning big bucks in front of its players. But a 2013 state audit found that in one two-year period, hundreds of Oregonians continued to receive food stamps despite winning lottery payouts of $5,000 or more. Republican Representative Andy Olson said it went up from there. "There was one person who won more than $900,000," Olson said. "So we had a little bit of a problem."

Skip to comments.Bill Gates leaving daily role at Microsoft
Posted on 06/15/2006 1:33:07 PM PDT by HAL9000
CNBC announcing - After July 2008, Bill Gates shall leave his daily role at Microsoft, but will remain as company chairman.
God bless you Bill Gates - and good luck to you.
I agree. Gates has created more jobs and wealth than any single living human being.
Yep, thanks to him computer crashes barely phase us anymore. :)
OK....but it kind of goes against bullet point 2.
It was a long way of saying Gates will not want his money wasted, unlike the UN.
With absolutely all due respect, and I mean it,
> no personality for the rough and tumble political world
right, unless he could be king!
I do hope he eventually gets a conservative clue in his old age. I think he will be bitter in 20 years after pi$$ing his money away around the world ... hope I am wrong.
It's his money, he can do what he wants with it.
Why do smart men marry liberal women?
Thanks for clearing it up. Whether it is his, mine, or your money....it alone has not solved anything. See the Great Society for reference.
I dunno. My dad did. I didn't/wouldn't. : )
On a related note, his replacement will be Microsoft Chief Software Architect 2.0. How long until:
1) There's a serious exploit allowing others to take over the system?
2) A massive security hole in CSA 2.0 is revealed?
3) The first, second, and third service packs for CSA 2.0 are released?
4) They reach Hotfix 5000 for CSA 2.0?
5) Microsoft gets into trouble for demanding everyone bundle CSA 2.0 with any project?
I bought a few years ago. It's down slightly from my purchase price, but with the big dividend in 2004 I still have a net profit.
I agree with you. I just hope he (or more to the point, his wife Melinda) realizes that money alone won't solve some of the major problems of the world. Like the $24 Billion they promised for Africa. It won't do a damn thing but go down a rat hole as long as monsters like Robert Mugabe (Congo) and Somali warlords and imans are in charge.
Depending upon what he does with his money, it could be a lot of people. Rich people and bad politics are not good. Look at people like George Soros and Peter B. Lewis and then ask, do we need another one of them, only bigger?
Yes, Gates created a lot of wealth. But, had he been born 10 years later, I wonder what would have become of him.
Now, maybe he'll have to struggle on his own with the cruddy software his former company puts out.
Many times I have had a 'Bill Gates Moment' when I wish I had him in the room with me and could ask him, "Why did your software do that? Why, after all these years can't you make it work right? Can you fix it for me? No? Why not?"
And an imaginative, hard working entrepreneur, and wealthy capitalist. He learned a lot after he flunked out of Harvard.
I'd say he's done okay in his "geek" career.
Agreed. Lots of Gates bashing here. Sounds like sour grapes of Gates' success. Few remember he told IBM to shove it, and he went on to build an empire.
Yup. That's the ticket. People who are charitable only do it because they want to dodge taxes. Dick Cheney gave away $6.5m this year. I just know he did it to dodge taxes.
(rolling eyes)
Ah. The uninformed speak up with little knowledge and zero facts to substantiate their comments.
Many people, despite their wealth, continue to work because they like to. Especially those who started their own business. My brother started his own company, his net worth at $7m, doesn't need the money but he works 10-12 hours a day and he's almost 60.
Plenty on Free Republic hate his company, products, and some even the man himself, but they are irrelevant. The man is a monumental hero to those who assign that title to those who truly deserve it.
If anyone alive has earned a permanent vacation, it is Bill Gates.
Just Do It.
Apple has a sale on refurbs on its website. Get one of the old G4 PowerBooks. I have the 12" for travel, hook it to the monitor at home. I do lots of photos, use Bibble or snag PS7 on eBay.
Tiger is just trouble free, buy a copy of Little Snitch for your outbound firewall. Then install FireFox with Adblock+, the FilterSetG, Noscript, a real hosts file (komando.com). Then Scrapbook, FasterFox, Unplug. No more getting killed with WinXP no more hassles with Linux. Networking troubles just go away with the Mac. Everything runs as a limited user in Tiger. Heck, even QuickBooks needs admin (read suicide) privileges in WinXP.
The Mac Just Works, Just Do It. I should have done this years ago.
Try Isabel la Catolica de Castille or Marcus Licinus Crassus.
Adusted into today's dollars, Gates wouldn't even make the top 100. He's got quite a bit in the bank for himself, but in terms of creating wealth for others he'd be way behind John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, J.P. Morgan or Friedrich Weyerhauser.
Do try to remember that Gates only got the contract to provide the OS for the IBM PC because Gary Kildall was out flying his plane. Well, that and a bit of fraud on Gates' part.
William H. Gates III. Kicked out of Harvard for theft, he's become the most successful snake oil salesman in history. If he was as a good a programmer as he has been at his two true vocations, dirty tricks and marketing, Microsoft wouldn't cost U.S. businesses hundreds of millions of dollars a year in lost revenue due to spam, viruses and worms.
His stepping down is probably a good thing for Microsoft. Whether it's a good thing for the U.S. remains to be seen.
Considering that his politics are about the same as George Soros, I'm continually surprised at how many Freepers sing his praises.
Now that's he retiring from overseeing the building of Big Brother into the next version of Windows, he's free to help his father, Warren Buffet, Ted Turner and the other left-wing billionaire collectivist pigs make the world safe for "Transnational Progressivism," or as it's otherwise known, international socialism.
Well, that and a bit of extortion.
You a big George Soros fan too?
Gotta put a shameless plug in here for Steve Jobs. Far from retiring from day-to-day operations, his role at Apple is only growing. Head-to-head there's no contest between Jobs and Gates. The terms "Nerd" and "Geek" fit in here, just not sure how... ;-)
Sounds wonderful. Too bad it's more like:
remember he entered into a contract with IBM to build their next generation OS, then after IBM had sunk millions of dollars into OS/2, stole a lot of stuff and ran, eventually giving the world Windows NT.
Actually, he's a socialist and the son of a socialist.
He learned a lot after he flunked out of Harvard.
You mean "Asked to leave after stealing $40,000 in computer time and if his daddy hadn't written a big check to Harvard he'd have been imprisoned."
Now the Open Source Community will know how we felt when we got Saddam and Zarkowi.
I remember his brief relationship with IBM in the late 1970s. That's when he told IBM to stuff it.
I'm not aware that William H. Gates III had any dealings with IBM before his mommy got him the MSDOS gig.
Care to enlighten us on the particulars?
He went from stealing code from the Homebrewers to use in his BASIC for the PDP-10, he tried selling Traf-o-data (a miserable failure), he worked for TRW, Honeywell and he might have worked for one of the other 7 dwarves too.
But he didn't do any work with IBM until his mother who was on the board of the United way with IBM bigshot John Akers, got him a meeting.
Well, that's baloney, but it's representative of the rest of your post.
I'm amazed at the number of FReepers who trash Gates. So what if he's a good marketeer? That's what builds business.
Nothing happens until somebody sells something.
Worse....he thinks he can save the world by throwing his money at problems.
***Worse yet...Gates joined the One World Government ideologistic elites.
(Jay Severen calls Bill Gates a "racist" because Gate's scholarship program excludes all other races except blacks.)
That they do....and the self-important continue to impress only themselves.
Ah yes. Attacking the messenger is a time honored tactic when the message is unassailable.
I'm amazed at the number of FReepers who trash Gates.
Why? He's a lefty that sends tons of money to the UN for, ahem , population control. He's a thief and a liar. He deserves to be trashed.
So what if he's a good marketeer? That's what builds business.
Being a good marketeer isn't the problem. The problem is that he's built an empire on stealing other people's work.

Alfonse Capone built a big business too but I don't see any one around here lionizing him.
Which scholarship program are you talking about? His Gates Cambridge Scholarship is open to anyone.
LOL!! Let me guess. You're Stac.
Obviously, greed is driving his generosity. Because if he kept the stock, he would pay no income taxes and still have the billions in net worth. If he sold the stock and kept the money, he would have xx billion - 20% taxes (or maybe a higher rate because of the AMT). If he gives away the money, he had $0 of it left. Thus, he's giving it away out of greed.
Yeah, sorta. If you look into how the Gates foundation and the TRIPS treaty seem to mesh, it makes you wonder. Shrug. I know a couple mill at me would be "great" work ;).
So Vista is going to be the disaster most suspect.
OTOH, they could have invested in the NYT.
You're not impressed?
You're also not very well informed, or worth considering....
History requires you invest in knowledge
Point well taken. I also base my feeling on things I have read or heard, taken with many grains of salt of course. From my viewpoint, I see a vast differenece between Gates and other super-wealthy people, movie "stars" in particular. He just comes off as being a lot more down to earth and sincere than many super rich people.
I don't see anything in your link about physical force or even veiled threats of violence, just tough negotiation. Anti-Capitalist rhetoric is apparently not limited to the left.
Don't bother responding, I have no interest in your type. Life's too short to refute every insecure fool one comes across.
....and yet, here you are. I guess you're trying to inform me.
History requires you invest in knowledge
OK, Confucius. I can't say I am overwhelmed by your 'investment' portfolio.
Excellent post :~D
Gates got out just in time. The blame will fall on the new Chief Software Architect - Ray Ozzie.
It already is. They've been laboring 5 years to get the Vista beast out the door, while Apple is coding circles around them releasing a major OS X upgrade every year. If Steve Jobs ever comes to his senses and allows OS X to be pre-installed on major PC brands (e.g., Dell), he could give the Gates empire a run for their money.
That's what I'm thinking.
Gates getting out before Vista???
Bill has always been a strong businessman, but just wait until the fire-in-the-belly founders are all gone, and they are replaced by MBA option-jockeys....Reminds me of the sound of a cow patty hitting a cement floor....

What is in this article?:
- Water clock ticking for California growers
- Water Testing
- Weathering the Drought
- The clock is ticking for California growers to join coalitions to comply with state regulations on surface and ground water.

Weathering the Drought
Still, Ylarregui believes most farmers will weather the drought, thanks in part to higher commodity prices.
But a lingering concern for lenders and others is what will happen – to both short and long term loans – if 2015 is also dry and there are no carry-in supplies of surface water.
Ylarregui said he agrees with the forecast that the greatest impacts will be on dairy and beef cattle. And he and other speakers said it's likely that government will regulate even more strictly the monitoring and use of water.
"When is the government going to say, 'That is not your water?''" he asked.

The meeting opened with an update on the state's regulation of water use on irrigated lands and included presentations by Terry Bechtel, environmental scientist with the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board; Parry Klassen with the East San Joaquin Water Quality Coalition; and Rick Hoelzel with the Kings River Water Quality Coalition.
Bechtel said "a lot of almond and grape growers" have not enrolled in coalitions. He said it "makes sense" to join a coalition, which costs much less than seeking individual compliance with rules on surface water and groundwater.
Hoelzel and Klassen said all growers must either join a coalition or must contact the region board to apply for an individual water discharge permit by May 19.
Bechtel said that, in a sense, the added monitoring is a "good news, bad news" proposition: "Having to do the monitoring may be bad news, but the good news is that the results have been good."
The meeting concluded with a presentation by Jonathan Alexander, with Pinnacle Claims Management Inc., on the Affordable Care Act. He said it's especially important for growers to tally workers' hours and determine whether they fall in the small or large employer category, and he discussed "pay or play" penalties.

By Amy Cherry 2:27pm, October 29, 2013 - Updated 3:22pm, October 29, 2013
WDEL's Amy Cherry talks with advocate Raetta McCall, a public member of the Blue Ribbon Task Force.A Blue Ribbon Task Force that must decide whether to recommend proceedings be open in Delaware Family Court continues its work in their second meeting this month.
WDEL's Amy Cherry has the latest.
Members of the public told the task force they feel they've been raped by Delaware's closed Family Court system.
Taking that under advisement, the panel voted to recommend that divorce and child custody proceedings be open to the public.
"At least if they do it as presumed open as compared to presumed closed, we might have a chance of actually getting people into the courtrooms to see what goes on," says public task force member Raetta McCall.
But presumed open means the judge still has some discretion.
"Ultimately, with all the court cases, the judge has the final decision; it's his courtroom. I don't want any compromise on safety," says task force co-chair Lynn Kokjohn.
Four task force members voted "No" on opening up child custody cases, citing child welfare and concerns that child psychological reports could become public.
McCall says that argument is a crutch.
"They use the best interest of the child as a catch-all for not being able to do things, and it's a false representation," McCall says, "And I have to wonder whether or not some of the no votes, how often have they been in to see or experience the situation in Family Court."
Still, McCall was pleased with the results of Tuesday's meeting. Kokjohn agreed, particularly when it comes to the recommendation to open up cases of divorce.
"When you're in there, and the whole intimidation factor, and you want to have a support mechanism, you want to have your friends sitting behind you saying, 'I'm here for you, and you're not alone," she says.
The task force also found little value in comparing Delaware to surrounding states.
"It's like comparing apples to kumquats," joked Sen. Dave Lawson (R-Marydel).
Citing specifics on Delaware cases was also impossible because the courts are closed.
McCall suggests taking a look at the nation, as a whole.
"In Massachusetts, it's open, and they didn't care if the people had money, prestige, power," she says.
But the task force undoubtedly has a lot of work left to do before making final recommendations to the General Assembly by February of next year. They're planning at least two more meetings, one each in December and January.
At issue with some of these changes are potential privacy concerns surrounding financial documents.
"In the case of confidential things, then maybe you have to close the courtroom for a certain time or you have to do something in his chamber, but then you come back, and everybody still gets all of the support that they need," says Kokjohn.
Rep. Mike Ramone (R-Middle Run Valley) says the task force shouldn't let these kinds of concerns bog them down.
"You can't not do the right thing because we haven't figured out how to make it functional, safe and private," he says.
McCall says there needs to be guidelines for judge's discretion.
"If you say the financial things can get out, then they're going to close it. The ones, the judges and commissioners who do not want it open, they will take that and they will run with it, and they will say 'closed,'" she says.

Three things we learned 1. Seattle is packing some punch. The Seahawks scored 40 more points than they allowed over the first 12 games. They have scored 91 more points than they allowed in the last two, which gives the Seahawks the second-largest point differential in the NFC behind San Francisco. The 49ers are the only team that has allowed fewer points than the Seahawks, which means this Sunday's game is going to be some kind of slugfest between two big-punching heavyweights

Koi Nami!! I might have to break down and buy her bundle....I like it lol.
EDIT: And her lore is up now too~
"Nami channels the primal energies of the ocean, harnessing its mystical restorative properties and commanding the raw power of the tides themselves. Though many doubted her, Nami had the bravery and determination to take on a dangerous quest when no one else would. Now her people believe she is the Tidecaller, a chosen one destined to complete a quest essential to the survival of her entire race.
The Tidecaller's sacred duty is to acquire a moonstone, a powerful object found only in the towering reaches of the surface world. Her people, the Marai, rely on the moonstone's light to ward off the terrors of the depths. However, the stone's power lasts only one hundred years. Before its light fades, the Tidecaller must journey into the Great Deep, retrieve an abyssal pearl, and carry it to the surface. There, on the night of the winter solstice of the hundredth year, the Tidecaller makes a ceremonial exchange with a landwalker bearing a moonstone. By trading the pearl for the moonstone, the Tidecaller ensures the survival of the Marai for another century.
However, in Nami's time, as the hundred years drew to a close, no Tidecaller had been found. Without a chosen one to complete the quest, her people would face disaster, but the Marai waited in faith that the Tidecaller would appear. Nami refused to sit idle, insisting that without a Tidecaller to save them, someone had to act. Bravely, she decided to begin the quest herself and ventured alone into the dangerous depths. None expected her to survive, but after six days of battles with untold horrors, Nami returned with the pearl in hand. The Marai hailed her as the new Tidecaller. All that remained was for Nami to journey to the surface and complete the exchange.
When Nami arrived at the surface, however, she found only an empty shore. She waited for days in a mystic cove, unsure of what to do. In all the legends of the Tidecallers, the bearer of the moonstone had never failed to arrive. Nami faced a choice. She knew the surface world only through tale and rumor, but the survival of the Marai depended upon her. Summoning the tide to bear her ashore, Nami began her search for the moonstone and became the first of her kind to explore the world above the ocean. She left her home behind, and vowed not to return until she had completed the Tidecaller's quest.
''I am the tide, and I cannot be turned.''
-- Nami"

Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States
"Untold History of the United States challenges the basic narrative of the U.S. history that most Americans have been taught.... [Such history] is consoling; it is comforting. But it only tells a small part of the story." Instead of clips of modern people pondering the past, Oliver Stone's ten-part series relies heavily on archival footage and clips from old Hollywood films, with narration by Stone. Towards the end, he gets into the assassination of JFK, "but that should not detract from a series that sets out to be a counterweight to the patriotic cheerleading and myth-making." [more inside]

This just in -- now the mainstream media knows what everyone else does!
Did Bush know? An article in today's New York Times (link to mirrored site with no reg. req.) pieces together data that the author claims proves that Bush and his inner circle were well-aware that they were using false "evidence" of Iraqi WMD. Sy Hersh from the New Yorker is also chiming in, as is Salon's Joe Connason and Katha Pollitt of The Nation. A pretty decent subsection of media is finally descending on this story. If Bush or Powell or Rumsfeld are proven to have been knowingly deceitful, will the American public be even half as angry as the rest of the world?

Ok, so how does going from the total unclear status of "everybody lookout, it's coming" to Yellow Alert which means "a significant risk of terrorist attacks" make things more clear? For that matter what's the point of Red Alert anyhow? Is that for when the Pentagon is already on fire?
Blacklist! Bush is expected to issue an executive order labeling certain people as "terrorists", which will lock up their assets and generally make life miserable. Who needs checks and balances or due process?

Reviews and endorsements
"A very judicious and comprehensive survey of the thought of one of Anglicanism's greatest figures, with a sympathetic assessment of his impact on public discussion and decision in Britain during his time as Archbishop. Peter Webster has done an exemplary job in digesting a large amount of primary material, and this is a fine contribution to the understanding of an era as well as of a man."
(Rowan Williams, master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and archbishop of Canterbury from 2002-12)
"This is a sparkling and broad-ranging introduction to a fascinating archbishop, written with crisp prose and crystal clarity. Peter Webster is a discerning guide, deep in the sources, and offers a sympathetic reading which sheds new light upon Anglican politics in the long 1960s."
(Dr Andrew Atherstone of Wycliffe Hall Oxford, biographer of Justin Welby)
"This is an excellent book in every way. It is well researched and lucidly written, revealing a perceptive sympathy with the subject. It is a fine supplement to Owen Chadwick's 'Life' of Michael Ramsey, and it also sheds much light on the social, ethical and religious environment in which Ramsey was archbishop. It helps to explain the particular difficulties that have assailed each of his successors as Archbishop of Canterbury, and it is a valuable contribution to an interesting series that draws on the archives of Lambeth Palace."
(Douglas Dales, author of Glory – the spiritual theology of Michael Ramsey)

The Orioles' bullpen compiled a 3.00 ERA last season, the fifth-best mark in baseball and the third best in the American League.
Despite Intact Bullpen, Duquette Open to Adding Another Reliever

Tea Ana had $220 Million in 2012 sales with $17 Million in earnings.
KKD will have $430 Million in sales with $34 Million in earnings.
Double...double Teavana.
Should more than likely be worth double Teavana.
Well, that's an excellent point!!!! But tea is tea... donuts are donuts. Different markets, dynamics, etc. But your point is well made. I agree, that would generally put the price target for KKD at $19. I agree.
I think it'll pop tomorrow with Morgan's presentation.

This paper proposed an automated technique for vibration detection using statistical focus measure to evaluate interferogram contrast. An interferogram sequence from a Mach-Zehnder interferometer setup is recorded (frame rate: 24 fps) and the gray-level variance (GLVA) is plotted versus time. Occurrence of induced vibration in the setup causes a decrease in the interferogram contrast which, in turn, manifests as an evident rapid drop in the variance plot. The technique is demonstrated experimentally using periodic microvibrations (frequency range, ) and aperiodic disturbances.

A recent poster on the Illiniboard sought input from Illini basketball fans regarding whether they would be able to accept a National Championship if it was accompanied by charges of cheating and major NCAA penalties. While a majority of respondents preferred a clean program even if it meant something less than a National Championship, a significant number of posters thought the ends justified the means.
It made me realize that some people do not understand Illinois' long-term history relative to run-ins with the Big 10 and NCAA over recruiting infractions. If they did, they would realize that any speculation over whether Illinois should cheat is an exercise in futility.
The title of my next four columns is: Why Illinois Can't Cheat! Today's column deals with the infamous Slush Fund of 1966, and it will be followed by columns on the ramifications of the Slush Fund for football and basketball and then a summation of where these and other events place us in today's NCAA world. I hope these columns will shed light as to why Illinois must do its utmost to run a clean program no matter how much that impacts our ability to compete for championships.
Back in the glory days of Bob Zuppke and George Huff, the University of Illinois enjoyed unparalleled success both as an academic institution and a bellweather of collegiate athletics. Being one of the largest and most prosperous Land Grant Institutions, and existing in a highly populated state, Illinois had many advantages over its competitors. With little more than a simple letter of invitation, the UI could attract top athletes from all over Illinois and around the Midwest and South.
The prevailing attitude of leaders at the UI was somewhat elitist because of this success, but it did not really approach arrogance. They felt athletes would naturally gravitate to the Illini because it was the best place for them. And, Red Grange and many other stars proved them right, at least for awhile. Most Illini leaders at the time believed in honor and integrity. They wanted to win with dignity and lose with the grace of gentlemen. It was not part of their thinking to create a pattern of systematic cheating to gain a competitive advantage.
The Illini leaders were naive in this regard because they didn't understand the nature of the human ego. They hadn't become accustomed to losing, so they didn't consider to what lengths weaker or less successful programs would go to compete with them. After all, if you must win but can't win through merit, you have the choices of breaking the rules, changing the rules to create ambiguity and thus loopholes, and/or infiltrating the rules makers to influence the application of the rules. All three of these choices, plus others, have been tried repeatedly, and with frequent success, by numerous institutions to compete and win.
Weaker schools are not the only ones willing to cheat. There are some schools that are most arrogant in their pretence of superiority. Without mentioning names, you can sometimes find suggestions of their arrogance in the wording within their fight songs. Even if it was not their original intent to become arrogant, early success made them feel superior. And it forced them to find ways of repeating that success so their arrogance could be justified and maintained.
These types of institutions can be among the most ruthless when it comes to competition because they believe they have the most to lose. Fear of mediocrity can motivate them to extremes. Certainly, they may cheat to recruit players and keep them eligible. But some of their work is done behind the scenes and in the offseason to damage their opponents prior to facing them on the field of battle. There is no limit to the diabolical plans they might create to serve their purposes. Since no loss is acceptable, any activity, no matter how illegal, unethical or immoral, may be utilized without remorse.
For example, one institution is said to have gotten a great halfback drafted to the military to prevent him from competing against them. One ultra-rich alumnus signed a top athlete to a massive Major League baseball contract, possibly to keep that athlete from beating his school in football the next season. Two or more schools may have conspired to do a "whisper campaign" to destroy another school's credibility and then falsely accused that school of recruiting violations. Numerous schools have born false witness against other schools for "recruiting violations" that were either groundless or unprovable. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Anyway, Illinois was ill-prepared to defend itself against this type of competition, and they began to lose athletes and games as a result. Bob Zuppke was without doubt the greatest football coach in Illinois history, and his reputation was nationwide, but he could not attract as many top players in his later years as he had previously. Ray Eliot, known as Ray Nusspickle when he captained one of Zuppke's teams, was only moderately successful at maintaining Illinois' standard of excellence once he replaced Zuppke as head coach. And much of that success resulted more from his remarkable ability to inspire his players beyond their limits than to attract superior athletes.
Ray was adamant that Illinois should not have to recruit, that recruiting was ruining college sports. And he had great difficulty submitting to the notion of begging high school prima donnas to prefer his school over others. So Ray retired from coaching in 1959, in large part due to the increasingly complex game of recruiting that he was loathe to play.
It was not the nature of Illinois' administrators to seek vengence against other schools or expose misdeeds to the NCAA. Instead, they decided to remain competitive by studying the ways of their opponents so they could set up something similar at Illinois. It is said they copied Purdue's program, but their ultimate plan was no doubt similar to those of many other schools at the time.
So sometime in the early 1960's, Illinois sports administrators created a fund that would be used by basketball coach Harry Combes and football coach Pete Elliott to provide for the extra needs of certain select athletes. It must be remembered that Illinois was so unaccustomed to cheating that they kept meticulous records, records that could be used against them if discovered. And only small sums of money were ever spent on athletes, and then for emergencies such as hospitalization for a wife of an athlete, trips home for emergencies, and certain other special circumstances. It is likely this fund was not used to gain a recruiting advantage but to provide for unusual needs.
In addition, certain wealthy alumni and/or friends of the program were each assigned one particular athlete, to help him when needed. According to the interviews I have seen from athletes who received these benefits, other schools were offering large sums of money, gifts for parents, new homes or apartments, parental jobs, etc., that were far more substantial than anything ever offered or provided to our players. And I am not sure whether prospective athletes were introduced to their benefactors before committing to the school or just when they actually enrolled. Regardless, a small percentage of Illini basketball and football players received extra benefits from these "sugar daddies" while on campus.
This program was in place for a few years when Athletic Director Doug Mills resigned. Speculation on Mills' replacement settled on Pete Elliott, who would then turn over the reigns of the football program to top assistant Billy Taylor. Pete was a charismatic person who would have made an outstanding athletic director, but he was a graduate of the University of Michigan, and some Illini faithful were resentful of Michigan even then.
In particular, Assistant Athletic Director Mel Brewer, a former Illini football captain and hero glorified repeatedly by Ray Eliot in his inspirational speeches, took offense at the thought of a "Michigan Man" running the Illini program. We may never know for sure whether it was his concerns about Pete Elliott or his vengence over being passed over for Athletic Director or both, but in a fit of pique Brewer took all the ledgers of the "Slush Fund" to university president David Dodds Henry.
I used to think that Mel Brewer was just a selfish person who sought vengence when he wasn't named athletic director. But in more recent times, I have come to believe something slightly different. I am told that, as a result of the consequences of his actions, Brewer was disconsolate and lived the last years of his life in isolation and misery. It made me realize a possible alternative explanation for his behavior and thinking at the time.
When Brewer met with Henry, he may never have considered the possibility that Henry might go public with it. Brewer might have thought the information would remain hidden within the university, that it would be used to alter the naming of the athletic director but nothing else. I doubt sincerely that he considered the amount of integrity David Dodds Henry possessed. So while he expected to live with the consequences of exposing the "Slush Fund" within the university, my guess is he never once thought it would become public and lead to all the extreme ramifications that resulted.
It may be impossible for most people to forgive Mel Brewer for what he did, but I at least now have a soft spot in my heart for his plight, especially realizing how much he loved Illinois and how much he sacrificed as a player and administrator. Somehow, realizing the personal torture he lived with every day of his life afterward, makes me feel less in need of punishing him for his crimes. I hope his soul is now at peace.
Anyway, David Dodds Henry realized correctly that he had no choice but to turn the University of Illinois into the Big 10 and NCAA for violating their codes of ethics. He knew that a coverup would lead to even bigger problems, and that it was better to come clean and accept punishment than to pile lies on top of lies and become part of the conspiracy. I respect him for his courage, although that single act started the Illini on a downfall from which they have never totally recovered.
Most people think it was the NCAA that punished Illinois for the "Slush Fund". But it was really the Big 10. The NCAA merely rubber stamped the decisions of the Big 10. And what a number the Big 10 did on the Illini. Yes, we were caught red-handed. Yes, we deserved punishment. But the way the Big 10 went about their investigation, and the self-serving motives that were likely at play in their decisions, makes their behavior especially suspect.
Neither the Big 10 nor NCAA have subpoena power, so there is no way they can force anyone to testify against themselves. They lack the power to get to the heart of matters such as a "Slush Fund" scandal unless they get cooperation from the accused parties. However, they obtained that cooperation from Illinois, for two main reasons.
One, Illinois' administrators were feeling extremely remorseful and guilty, so they "threw themselves on the mercy of the court", so to speak. With tails between their legs and eyes transfixed to the floor, they admitted their guilt and accepted any and all punishments without presenting a defense. Secondly, the Big 10 used what only can be described as deceptive practices to trick athletes into admissions they would later regret.
The athletes whose names were found on the official ledger were interrogated one by one. They were told they would not be punished personally if they came clean as to their involvement and named names. They were told they did not need lawyers or personal advisors in their interrogations. So, with only one exception, the athletes told their stories honestly and did not insist on any representation.
For their efforts, every athlete identified was punished severely. Most lost permanent eligibility at Illinois, and they all lost at least a year (one semester in the case of the athlete who had representation). The Big 10, with vested interest in the outcome and controlled by schools that may also have been utilizing similar funds for their athletes, lied to our athletes and then punished them for telling the truth. To this day, some people believe Illinois should have hired lawyers to defend against this travesty of justice, but we felt too guilty to go against the will of the majority.
Of course, Illinois was forced to fire Pete Elliott and Harry Combes, as well as Combes' assistant coach Howie Braun. A couple of the athletes like Ron Dunlap and Cyril Pinder chose to remain at the UI and complete their degrees despite having no sports outlet. Dunlap became a respected high school principal, and Pinder later played several years in pro football. Steve Kuberski only lost one year of eligibility at Illinois, but he chose to transfer to Bradley where he could play sooner. He later played a number of years for the Boston Celtics. Richard Jones lost full eligibility, so he transferred to Memphis State and later played several years in the old American Basketball Association.
Bob Stephens, a big bruising fullback from Chicago Vocational, and Derek Faison from Virginia were both just freshmen, but they were banished for life. If I remember correctly, Faison was given air fair to travel to Illinois for the start of fall classes. He later became an offensive line starter for the University of Colorado. I don't remember all the players who were affected, but never before or since has any school's players been punished like Illinois' were during the "Slush Fund". Usually, it is the coaches and schools who are punished, not the players.
Illinois was placed on major probation and banned from postseason games for an extended period (I have forgotten the exact amount of time because we no longer had the ability to compete for a championship or bowl bid anyway). And the alumni and friends who paid out the money for the athletes were banned for extended periods from having any contact with the university. But the worst punishment of all was the total devastation that was wrought on our basketball and football teams.
The reputation of the University of Illinois was destroyed to the point we are still remembered as cheaters, even after nearly 40 years. Illinois became the butt of jokes around the country, and all future success was questioned. Athletes didn't want to play at Illinois, and opposing schools used our "reputation" against us repeatedly in recruiting.
Illinois began a period that might be likened to the "Dark Ages". In the time it took from the day David Dodds Henry turned over the 'Slush Fund" records to the day we were handed our final penalties, we went from a school capable of competing for championships in football and basketball to a school that was the laughing stock of college sports.
I would never wish to relive this experience, and I truly hope no Illini present or future ever has to endure anything like it. One cannot truly understand the position of the University of Illinois within the athletic hierarchy of the NCAA without taking the "Slush Fund" ramifications into account. Everything that has happened since has been influenced by it, in one way or another.
In my next column, I will talk about the effects of the "Slush Fund" on the football team between 1967 and the present day.
