Everyone Needs To Simmer Down About Virginia, Exit Polls
Let's all calm down. : I know a few conservative may have started to sweat after seeing Drudge's headline showing "boom" for Obama in the early exit polls. : However, Ace of Spades reminds us that in 2004, John Kerry led in the exit polls by nine.
Remember, the: 2004 exits had Kerry winning nationally 51-48.: Actual result? Pretty much the opposite of that. Bush won by just under three points.
Thus, a nearly +6 bias in favor of Democrats.
You can also ignore the sub-toplines in the exits, for the exact same reason. They're saying on CNN this is the first election in which Hispanics make up 10% of the voting population. Again –: self-selected.D+6. More whites than anyone else avoiding the sociology major.
The exits are, through-and-through, faulty and a big waste of your time.
I say again: Random-digit-dial polls are more accurate.
Kerry, at the end of the night, lost the state — and the election.

WATCH: Fight breaks out in stands, on field during Ohio football game
GARFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio - Three people were arrested Friday night following a fight during a high school football game in northeastern Ohio.
Police say the fight likely started in the stands in the third quarter of the Garfield Heights-Collinwood game in Garfield Heights, Ohio. Then players from the two teams began fighting, as seen in the three-minute YouTube video below.
The game was canceled out of fear for player's safety.
Five people were initially apprehended but two were later released. Those arrested are charged with disorderly conduct.
Police believe the fight broke out after a player was injured. He was taken to the hospital.
Garfield Heights Schools released a statement saying they are looking into which students were involved in the fight and say safety is a top priority.
The statement continued:
Because the safety and security of every person who attends co-curricular activities at the Garfield Heights City Schools is of the utmost importance, district officials, game officials and security personnel made the decision to cancel the game instantaneously. Local officials took appropriate action, and the community can rest assured knowing that those students of the Garfield Heights City Schools who were involved will be swiftly and appropriately dealt with by the district.
Police from Cuyahoga Heights and Maple Heights were called to assist at the scene.
WCPO will update this story as information becomes available.

Administering SQL Server 2008 and 2005 with Windows PowerShell
Windows PowerShell is a .NET based command shell and scripting language that is being built into all major Microsoft products including SQL Server 2008 (CTP6). PowerShell can be used to administer SQL Server via Server Management Objects (SMO). Using PowerShell to access SMO removes the need to write .NET based applications. PowerShell and SMO bring an increased level of automation to managing SQL Server environments. This session will introduce PowerShell and demonstrate how to administer SQL Server programmatically and interactively at the command line. The PowerShell provider in SQL Server 2008 will (hopefully) be used as well as scripts. The session is demonstration heavy and concentrates on the practical side of using these technologies.

Intentional oil, gas law breaking must be punished
Major gas and oil companies with drilling operations in our area seem to have a good-neighbor attitude about their operations. In most cases they try to follow all the local, state and federal rules and sometimes go beyond to ensure their work does not affect local residents adversely.
The same sometimes cannot be said about subcontractors employed by the big companies.
Just last week, authorities in both West Virginia and Ohio had to take action against companies that disposed of drilling waste improperly.
Officials at the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection have fined a Wisconsin company, Michels Pipeline Construction, $3,800 for placing drilling mud from an Antero Resources operation into an unlined pit near Ellenboro in Ritchie County. The practice allowed waste to be carried out of the pit and into a nearby stream.
If the DEP proceeds with an agreement with Michels, the firm will stop storing waste drilling mud at the site.
More serious action is being taken in Ohio, by federal prosecutors. They are charging the owner of Hardrock Excavating LLC with violating the U.S. Clean Water Act.
Officials say the company's owner, Ben Lupo, directed that about 20,000 gallons of drilling mud and brine be dumped directly into a storm sewer that empties into the Mahoning River watershed. If convicted of that, Lupo could be fined as much as $250,000.
In both cases, the companies were providing services for drilling companies.
If Lupo is convicted and fined the full amount, other companies will be deterred from similar misconduct.
But in West Virginia, the $3,800 fine is, well, peanuts in comparison to the profits to be made by drilling industry subcontractors.
It needs to be noted another difference in the situations is that Michels was not accused of intentional wrongdoing, while Lupo is.
Big gas and oil companies should do their part to police subcontractors, as we have suggested previously. When intentional misconduct is found, subcontractors should face the wrath of companies for which they are working, too – by being told their services no longer are desired.

Chelsea Clinton visits with school children at the Building Tomorrow Academy of Gita, about an hour outside of Uganda's capital of Kampala.
KAMPALA, Uganda – The Building Tomorrow Academy of Gita, about an hour outside of Uganda's capital city of Kampala, is an amazing example of what can be accomplished when local communities and international organizations work together toward innovative solutions to educational challenges.
While in Uganda last week, I met the dynamic tag team of George Srour, the American founder and "chief dreamer," and Joseph Kalisa, the Ugandan country director, behind the school in Gita, as well as seven other Building Tomorrow "academies" in Uganda.
Building Tomorrow's mission in Uganda is to do more than just build one-room cookie-cutter school houses. So far they have built eight "academies" – each with seven classrooms and space for up to 325 elementary school students.
And the best part is that schools like the one in Gita are built with robust local involvement: the school's surrounding communities help build them and the government promises to pay teacher salaries and ongoing operational costs after construction is complete.
The result is a real public- civil society partnership that is showing real results – and clearly making a difference.
School project turns into dream
Srour started BT in 2005, the same year he graduated from the College of William & Mary in Virginia.
The inspiration for BT grew out of a visit to Uganda and then a holiday fundraising campaign Srour spearheaded during his senior year at William and Mary called "Christmas in Kampala." The campaign raised more than $45,000 for the construction of a new school in the capital city.
As Srour told me, he realized in his final months of college that raising money was necessary, but not sufficient to fundamentally change education in Uganda, a country with about 50 percent of the population under 15, according to the CIA World Factbook. He realized they needed to do more.
It is a place in which Srour has no family ties, but a clear calling.
When I asked Kalisa, a Ugandan, if he could imagine doing anything else? He said, "Only when we're done." Srour had the same answer.
Barbara Kinney
Chelsea Clinton visits with school children at the Building Tomorrow Academy of Gita, about an hour outside of Uganda's capital of Kampala.
Gita school
The school in Gita opened in 2010, the result of BT's first – though not last – multidisciplinary collaboration with an American university partner.
In the 2007-2008 school year, undergraduate architecture and engineering students at the University of Virginia's Architecture Studio reCOVER and its Engineering in Context Capstone Design Program designed Gita's seven classrooms, its library, its latrines, its office space and its outdoor play and learning space (including a sports field and garden).
Other students from the University of Virginia raised money to help the architecture and engineering students' plans become a reality, including a stationary bike ride 'across Uganda,' in which students rode more than 7,500 miles to help raise the necessary $60,000 to build and supply a BT Academy.
Srour and Kalisa clearly still couldn't believe – even years later – so many people rode so many miles so far away to help kids in Gita, in rural Uganda.
Although the design and funding came from the University of Virginia, the local community around Gita built the school. Through more than 20,000 hours of donated labor, prospective parents and grandparents made the BT Academy in Gita a reality. It was the best-looking, most inviting school we saw on our drive down the dirt road, and yes, still one made of mud and bricks and stone and with outdoor, though hygienic and private, latrines.
The kids were curious, the teachers engaged, the parents proud – and all treated their school space with dignity and respect.
Sustainable model
Ultimately, BT academies, including Gita, are public government schools. Once the building is complete, BT in Uganda, through an agreement with the Ugandan government and with Kalisa's supervision, selects high quality teachers who will make the most of the open, welcoming environment BT academies offer.
In a video diary, former President Bill Clinton talks about working with the charity City Year to help open a school library and vegetable garden for South African youth, and celebrating Nelson Mandela's 94th birthday.
The Ugandan government then pays for the ongoing operating costs of the schools and the teachers' and supervisors' salaries. This arrangement – versus many other efforts in the U.S. to raise money to build a school somewhere far away with no plans for what happens after the doors open – has a clear plan for sustainable impact: it creates clarity around what is the local community's responsibility, what is the Ugandan government's responsibility and what is BT's responsibility.
That longer-term focus and clarity make BT distinctive – and more likely to have better results for its students, their parents – and their university partners back in the U.S.
BT now has eight schools up and running in Uganda, with another six close to completion. More than 25 college and university campuses in the U.S. have contributed funds, designs and time to help more than 1,800 Ugandan kids get a better education – and future.
Next up: teacher academy
One new area of focus for Srour and Kalisa is building teacher capacity – they are clearly concerned there are soon not going to be enough high caliber teachers for the schools they are building already and dreaming about.
Srour and Kalisa's answer? Build a teacher training academy.
Chelsea Clinton is an NBC News Special Correspondent. She was recently traveling with her father, former President Bill Clinton, to visit Clinton Foundation, Clinton Health Access Initiative and Clinton Global Initiative projects in a number of sub-Saharan African countries, including Uganda. In 2011, Building Tomorrow made a commitment at the Clinton Global Initiative to have built at least 60 schools in Uganda over the next 5 years.

text: I'm hoping someone else has had experience with this problem. My 7-week old (born at 36 wks gestational age) has been exclusively breast fed with the exception of 5-6 bottles while in NICU 20 hrs after birth. About 2 weeks ago he seemed to be having some discomfort and fussiness with pooping. His poop has become very green (dark) and mucus-ey and now there are tiny spots of blood in the stool, too. I have spoken with his pediatrician, and taken him to urgent care and neither doctor seemed overly concerned--they said to eliminate all dairy from my diet as it may be a milk-protein allergy. I have been very very careful and eliminated all dairy for the last week plus, but there has been no improvement--there are still bits of blood and mucus. I am feeling extremely frustrated and wonder if he's just allergic to my milk, even though I've read this is impossible. I have even contemplated switching him to formula. I really really don't want to do this. Has anyone had experience with this???? Please help!

The best in the world traveled to South Korea for the International Tae Kwon Do Federation World Championships and competitors from Portales and Clovis battled others, with Audra Brown from Portales winning a bronze medal.
"The competition was very tough and challenging," Brown said. "I think I did very well considering the competition I was going up against."
Steve Blakeley from the Eastern New Mexico Tae Kwon Do school in Portales was one of the coaches at the international competition. Blakeley and the three area competitors returned from South Korea on Thursday. Blakeley said the competitors were in Daejeon City, South Korea and gone from the area for 10 days. There were 1,180 black belts from 44 countries at the event.
"I really enjoyed the people, they were really nice," Brown said.
She is a second-degree black belt. Brown, along with Nicole Frank of Portales and Mark Yoesting of Clovis competed in the tae kwon do events. All three are members of ENMTKD.
Frank, a first-degree black belt, said she enjoyed the trip, but was glad to come home after 10 days.
"When you compete, you're real focused," Frank said. "I had no issues when I was on the main stage. I was very proud of myself. We did well against all the other countries. Mark did a good job in his individual competitions."
Frank said she suffered a sprained ankle before leaving to South Korea, but felt no pain during the competition.
Brown came away with a bronze medal in power breaking. Power breaking is an event in which a competitor tries to break boards. She also competed in specialty breaking, which is when boards are set at heights starting at eight feet and competitors attempt to break the boards. The boards are raised until one competitor is left.
Each country also has a five-person male and female team and for the first time ever, the U.S. men's team snatched the best all-around title.
"I was impressed with all of my students' performances," Blakeley said. "This was the first time any of the local three has competed at this level. It is the first time any student of the ENMTKD or anyone in our part of the state has qualified to compete at this level. They all represented our area well."
"I have been in tae kwon do for 35 years and some of the competition amazed even me," Blakeley said. "Some of the countries … pay their team to train and compete at this event. It is an honor just to qualify and compete in the event. This is the highest level of competition in tae kwon do."
Blakeley said an opening ceremony kicked off the event with a fireworks display on Oct. 14. There was an awards ceremony on Oct. 19. Blakeley said there were many donors from the area for the trip.
Blakeley said there will be a DVD of the competition made from video clips the competitors and coaches made.
"Mr. Blakeley did a great job of preparing us," Frank said. "It's just amazing to think we came from a small town and fared well against the best competition from the rest of the world."

How available will a lot of these guys be where we are picking in both rounds? I think it would be helpful to know.
I'll continue to preach the idea that we can make many solid improvements to this roster going the smart, cost-conscious route. If the name of the game is improving this team ten-fold without depleting our major cap flexibility (cap flexibility I feel we should carry over one more season to the summer of 2012 for obvious reasons), these are all players I'd consider. Let's put it this way: if I worked for Donnie and he told me to go put together a list of potential impact players for reasonable/marginal money where we'd have a shot at keeping the bulk of our cap flexibility intact, these are the players I'd be prepared to talk to him about:
PG options
• Kemba Walker. Either trade up a few slots to get him or take him at 17 if he slips. He's a longshot for us but top of the list if we can get him.
• Invite 6'3" Ben Hansbrough to training camp or grab him in the 2nd round. I like him better than Fredette. I personally thought Fredette was awful his last game against Florida, at least down the stretch of that game. Just because you hit one 30 footer Jimmer, doesn't mean you keep looking for it with the game on the line. Abysmal shot-selection in BYU's most important game of the year. He shot them right out of that game. Not only that, he came off selfish and displayed no PG skills down the stretch of that game whatsoever. Hansbrough's a much better get with better value much later in this draft. I think he's the better all-around player -- just as good a shooter, better athlete, with more PG tendencies.
• Immediately sign 6'3" Curtis Stinson of the Iowa Energy for training camp.
• Invite 6'1" Curtis Jerrells to training camp (very similar game to Brandon Jennings).
• Invite 6'1" Tyrese Rice to training camp. Another lefty PG similar to Jennings. Had a standout career at B.C. Signed a 1-yr deal to play in Germany last year (and played well there) but should be available now.
• Like another poster just brought up, I like Charles Jenkins too, I'm just not sure about him at 17. I like him better if I can get him lower.
• Acquire a mid 2nd rounder and target 6'3" Demetri McCamey (rich man's Chris Duhon/poor man's Chauncey Billups).
• Sign Patrick Mills if we can get him cheap.
• Invite 6'0" Sherron Collins to training camp. Cut by Charlotte, finished up the season playing in Lithuania. Should be available.
• Bring in 6'2" Pittsburgh guard Ashton Gibbs for a private workout and see if he can actually play the point. If he can, consider him with a deep 2nd round pick we acquire somehow. Kid can definitely shoot the ball. Might be a better alternative over Rautins; TD too maybe (esp. if either gets dealt). Probably goes back to school but if he stays in the draft, bring him in for a closer look.
Wings (looking for upgrades & insurance in case Shawne Williams & Bill Walker don't return and Landry Fields bolts in FA the following year a-la Wes Matthews Jr.)
• Draft 6'5" Marshon Brooks at 17. As if his stellar season wasn't enough proof, he's really starting to turn heads now in workouts. Just jumped up 30 slots in Chad Ford's top-100 list to 22. I've been talking about this kid as our 1st round pick ever since I saw him destroy Notre Dame for 52 points back in February. He'd be awesome firepower off the bench next year. I'd have no problem taking him at 17 and never looking back, even if we still didn't address size, rebounding and/or the PG position yet. That's how much I like this kid's NBA-ready talent.
• Sign 6'8" SF/PF DeShawn Sims.
• Sign 6'8" SF/PF Joe Alexander.
• Sign 6'5" SG Matt Bouldin.
• Acquire a high-mid 2nd rounder and target Florida's Chandler Parsons.
• Invite 6'6" SG Sylven Landesberg to training camp.
• Acquire 6'6" Ohio State sharpshooter Jon Diebler, either deep in the 2nd round or bring him to summer league/training camp if he goes undrafted.
• Invite 6'8" Notre Dame SF Tim Abromaitis to summer league/training camp. I'd like Donnie to come up with a lights out shooter for D'Antoni somewhere -- Diebler, Abromaitis, Ashton Gibbs maybe. I think Abromaitis is underrated. He one hell of an outside shooter, has more-than-adequate size for a SF & he can even put it on the floor and rebound a little bit. If we somehow knew about & liked Abromaitis and were looking to add this type of player (a wing that can really fill it up from the perimeter), I might just pass on going after a guy like Parsons who's rated higher and target this kid much lower or after the draft. This guy might be an even better player than Parsons, who I like btw, & right outta left field too. Bottom line is someone will take a chance on him and add him to their summer league roster and I betcha anything he impresses and turns some heads.
• Invite 6'6" SG AD Vassallo to training camp.
Bigs (in addition to 7' C Jerome Jordan)
• 6'10" Jordan Williams at 17.
• Ken Faried at 17.
• Tristan Thompson at 17.
• Trey Thompkins at 17.
• Grab C Marcus Cousin in a nano-sec if Houston ever cuts him loose. Daryl Morey just signed him to a 3-yr deal a few weeks ago. Non-guaranteed though, so he may become available at some point. This guy was the best C in the DL this year imo.
• Sign Jeff Adrien if he doesn't return to GS. I wouldn't be as interested in drafting a guy like Faried at 17 if I knew I could grab this guy.
• Acquire a 2nd rounder and draft Nikola Vucevic. Good size at 6'10" 240+; nice offensive game that's pretty polished and he can rebound. Wouldn't surprise me if he went in the 1st round actually. Wouldn't surprise me if he turned out to be just as good a player as Jordan Williams in the NBA, a player some have rated higher at the moment, including me. Very good value late in this draft.
• Acquire a 2nd rounder and draft JaJuan Johnson.
• Acquire a 2nd rounder and draft Keith Benson. I like the upside but he needs more work than I first thought a few months ago. Tristan Thompson, a player a good 3-4" shorter, gave him a ton of problems on the block in their tournament matchup.
• Acquire a 2nd rounder and draft Rick Jackson.
• Sign Sean Williams.
• Sign Chris Johnson if he doesn't return to Portland.
• Sign FA C Dwayne Jones.
• Acquire a late 2nd rounder and draft 7'1" C Mike Tisdale or invite him to summer league/training camp if undrafted. Good shooting touch for a guy that big. Nice pick & pop option a-la Michael Doleac. Not a standout shot-blocker or rebounder but he's got a lot of size/length that could be put to use in these categories.
• Acquire a late 2nd rounder and draft 7' C Robert Sacre or invite him to summer league/training camp if undrafted. He's got size and he's a very underrated scorer down low, facing up & with his back to the basket. Even found a way to get to the line a ton this year (nearly 200 times). Like Tisdale, he's no standout shot-blocker (although quite decent actually at almost 2 blks/game two years in a row) or rebounder but he posesses the ability to contribute some in both areas.
• Earl Barron most likely is one-and-done in Portland. Bring him back if all else fails.
• Sign 6'10" PF Jermareo Davidson.
• Sign C Courtney Sims. A bit of a plodder but he's got some skills, namely scoring 15' and in and rebounding. There are far worse options out there for backup 4/5 if we can't come up with anything else.

The others we can go out right now and make arrangements to bring in. I think Marcus Cousin's currently property of the Rockets (details of his contract still haven't been released as of yet) and Jeff Adrien might still be under control of the Warriors---those two I'm not 100% sure about.
Also, I believe we no longer have our 2nd round pick -- I think it went to the Lakers in the Toney Douglas deal. We'll have to look into acquiring another 2nd rounder or two and deal ourselves back in for that additional pick.
We don't have our second round pick, I hope we pick Faried at 17. If he gets taken earlier (which I doubt he will) we should draft a pg. Maybe we can buy a second rounder and use that to draft Keith Benson?

As long as we get Hansborough I dont care what happens. Like the OP said I think this kid is going to have a much better career than Ferdette. Guts and brains gets you a long way on the basketball court.
I'm thinking Kemba is a long shot. You might want to hope Utah gets the #1 selection tonight so that they can draft Irving. That may be the only way he drops to us.
This wont be poplar, but would you trade Fields to get up into the top 8-12? Come away with 2 picks in this draft. Then we're talking serious business.
I think the most likely best-case-scenario would be for Tobias Harris to drop to #17. He's gonna be a big time talent, and if we can have him be the 6th man backing up Melo or Amare, that would be some serious depth. I could even see Melo sliding over to the 2 sometimes to get all three on the court.
Doesn't fill a need at all, unless you consider depth a need (which I do). But drafting best available talent lets you get a trade chip, which can be parlayed into a need (like a C or PG). I got my fingers crossed for him.
I also like Biyombo if he drops (which he won't). Despite the lack of height, he's got crazy upside. And that's what the draft is all about these days...upside. *lamenting sigh*
I'm really zeroing in on Marshon Brooks as my guy in the 1st round when we pick above anyone else, even Kemba Walker. The dude just looked like a pro player playing with/against a bunch of college kids ever time I saw him. If he's there at 17, he's a no-brainer without even reaching. I just pray he's even on the board at 17 for us to consider---his stock is already on the rise..I think he's the best SG in the draft, better than Alec Burks, and one of if not the most NBA-ready talents in the entire draft. This dude makes a major impact for whatever team picks him in year 1. So much more than just a great scorer--that's what I love about him. Dude rebounds and comes up with steals and blocks with his superior length and he can handle the ball real well too. The criticism that he doesn't share the ball is pure myth btw. Everytime I saw him play he was ready and willing to distribute the ball; his lousy teammates just couldn't do much with it when he surrendered it. As such the guy was basically a 1-man army that other teams had the luxury of focusing a majority of their defensive energy on, yet he still went out there and averaged almost 25 a game on over 48% from the field. This guy's for real! If we got him at 17 I'd be ecstatic. In my humble opinion he's surefire lottery talent, esp in this draft. Instant legit firepower 6th man off the bench that has a chance to take Fields' starting spot eventually, if Fields either doesn't improve upon his rookie season, is traded mid-season or signs an offer sheet at the end of the year that the Knicks chose not to match. As much as I love Fields, this kid's a better talent. I have to concede that.

I would love to get Kenneth Faried...he would immediately help our biggest issue on the floor right now, a lack of urgency and ability to effectively rebound the ball.

Suddenly, Ramon Sessions from Cleveland is a legit possibility.
What do the Cavs need Sessions for when they have two of the top 4 picks?
- Marshon Brooks at 17
- Hansbrough in the 2nd round
- AND we add Jeff Adrien and Dwayne Jones on the cheap to address the rebounding issue & strengthen the frontline
I think I might prefer seeing something like that a little more. It's all relative --- if I knew I could secure the rebounding upgrade somewhere else, there wouldn't be as big a need for Faried at 17 I'm thinking. The more holes we can sure up the better. Come out of this addressing 3 areas of concern instead of just two..

Not trying to poo-poo Tristan Thompson here btw---this kid showed me a ton that game. I think he had 7 blks that afternoon, finishing with 17/10/7. I like him a lot -- plays hard, very tough, strong and very long (all those blocks against Benson weren't some fluke) ...A real no-nonsense type, maybe something similar to a young Buck Williams, probably better than that eventually. Combine Keith Benson's height/length and underdeveloped but very workable/intriguing skill-set with Tristan Thompson's toughness. Now that would really be something to see...

Long-term unemployed will lose 9 weeks of benefits
Wisconsin workers who have been unemployed for more than a year will lose nine weeks of benefits because of the state's improving economy.
The federal government has notified the state that its lower unemployment rate means an end to federal emergency unemployment insurance. It extended benefits from 54 weeks to 63 weeks.
The State Journal reports an estimated 10,500 workers who have been unemployed for more than a year will start losing benefits the week of Feb. 9. An unemployment rate below 7 percent means an end to the federal subsidy.
The U.S. Department of Labor has calculated the state's three-month average unemployment rate at 6.7 percent.

I know that breast milk changes as a baby grows, and I think this isamazing. I am one of those people that likes to know how things work, so...
1. What exactly is different between milk produced for a newborn, and milk produced for an older baby?
2. How does your body know how to make the milk just right? Is it a hormonal thing? Does it just have to do with time elapsed since childbirth, or are there other factors?
Thanks, breasfeeding experts !!

Here is a look at new music out this week.
Green Day "¡Uno!"
Green Day's 2004 concept album "American Idiot" did a lot to help ensure the band's relevancy a couple more years. They scrapped their simplistic short bursts of punk approach to instead tell a story as part of a rock opera. The followup, 2009's "21st Century Breakdown," also was given the concept album treatment as it concentrated on Billie Joe Armstrong's take on religion. At this point, it's hard to judge what concept, if any, is being used for "¡Uno!" This is the first release in a trilogy of Green Day albums. "¡Dos!" comes out Nov. 13 and "¡Tré!" is due Jan. 15. A box set featuring all three albums (each delivered on its release date), a DVD, Green Day merchandise and more is already available to pre-order on the band's website. "¡Uno!" is, at times, a dark album masked by upbeat punk songs. Songs such as "Angel Blue" and "Loss of Control" lack musical depth as the band falls back on its sound from the days of "Dookie." While they may have reemployed a more simplistic approach, the lyrics are a little more complex this time around. And it might seem as though Armstrong's recent onstage outburst and subsequent rehab stint might have been brewing for some time. "I'm a nuclear bomb and it won't be long before I detonate," he sings on "Nuclear Family." Maybe it was just a coincidence he wrote that song for this album. Maybe not. Either way, "¡Uno!" has Green Day sounding like the earlier version of itself. That is until you get to the last song, "Oh Love," which lacks the punk aesthetic found through the rest of the album. The five-minute song is more alternative rock than anything else and probably goes on a little too long. Is this a tease to what the album to be released in November will sound like? While "¡Uno!" may not be a concept album, it may be part of a concept album package when put with the two forthcoming releases. But we're going to have to wait until January to hear the entire story.
No Doubt "Push and Shove"
What's old is new again ... Well, kind of. On "Push and Shove," No Doubt's first studio album of new material since 2001, the band struggles to keep its identity while embracing more up-to-date sounds. The title track alone pits dance hall reggae (something heard in small doses on past No Doubt albums) against dance club beats. In the end, nobody really wins as the song doesn't do either style justice. The song could be looked at as a microcosm of the entire album. No Doubt does a lot of good things on "Push and Shove," it's just that they don't seem to do any of them exceptionally well. "Settle Down," the album's first single, is a pop song that features a reggae vibe. It's also the best song on this release. It has the fun factor found in my many of No Doubt's hits. Unfortunately, that fun factor is lost other places on this album. While "Gravity" and "Heaven" are both somewhat poppy songs, they lack the punch to make them standout hits. "Push and Shove" might show the logical sound progression the band was headed toward after "Rock Steady." Gwen Stefani is 42 now. This is a grownup No Doubt, which means a dialed-down No Doubt. You can't expect a band to stay young forever, but the leap into adulthood shouldn't be this drastic.

Teknikem, A Division of RockinBoat LLC
Teknikem, a Division of RockinBoat LLC, is commercializing RonJohn, a safer more environmentally friendly paint and adhesive licensed from the Y12 National Security Complex. Unlike conventional strippers, RonJohn products are not classified as hazardous air pollutants, carcinogens, or hazardous wastes. RonJohn blends were developed by the scientists at Y12 to meet their need to replace flammable and toxic chemistry that was being phased out at the complex. The same forces that led the DOE to migrate away from flammable and toxic chemistry for removing coatings are also motivating other governmental organizations and private sector companies to make safer and more environmentally responsible decisions in their chemical usage. Until now, the choice has been between dangerous, toxic strippers or green strippers that were in effective; RonJohn is a game changer in this regard offering both good stewardship and effectiveness.
Woodmont Enterprises, based in Nashville, Tennessee, is creating a top-coat solution moisture barrier product for oriented-strand board (OSB), an engineered wood product formed by layering flakes of wood, by using technology developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The primary focus is to create a moisture barrier on OSB during transportation and after installation. One net benefit to moisture protected OSB after installation is mold resistance.
Element One, based in Boulder, Colorado, has created the only available coatings that change color when detecting hydrogen and other hazardous gas leaks, either reversibly or non-reversibly, to provide both current and historical information about leaks. Element One's patented gas indicators and sensors use catalyzed thin films or nanoparticles of a transition metal oxide to create very low cost sensors for use in industrial and consumer environments, greatly reducing the potential for undetected leaks and their cost and safety implications. This technology is also being integrated for use in refineries, industry gas and fuel cells systems and was developed using technology from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
7AC Technologies, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, is developing Liquid Desiccant HVAC systems for Commercial and Industrial buildings using technology from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. These Liquid Desiccant HVAC systems deliver a 50 to 75 percent reduction in energy usage over conventional HVAC units. The system consists of a membrane conditioner responsible for drying and cooling the air and a heat-driven regenerator. The liquid desiccant design allows for the utilization of solar or waste heat sources, paving the way for net-zero energy retrofits to existing buildings with costs comparable to conventional HVAC.
Borla Performance Industries, based in Johnson City, has an option to license a novel, nano-pore membrane technology from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Combining this innovation with Borla's exhaust technology will lead to a low cost, unique exhaust system that will double as an energy neutral device to recover and reclaim clean water from engines powered by diesel, gasoline or natural gas. Military and commercial applications include transport and stationery power plants, marine, cars and trucks.
Umpqua Energy, based in Medford, Oregon, is using an Argonne National Laboratory technology to develop a system that allows a gasoline engine to operate in an extreme lean burn mode in order to increase gasoline mileage. One negative side effect of a lean burn engine, whether powered by gasoline or diesel fuel, is an increase in the amount of harmful gases released to the environment. The company expects to both increase fuel economy and simultaneously reduce emissions with its system.
US e-Chromic LLC, based in Boulder, Colorado, will use electrochromic technology developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to create a new thin film window material that reflects sunlight on demand, making windows more energy efficient while reducing cooling costs for consumers.
SynchroPET, based in Shoreham, New York, is a start-up biotech firm with the next generation of PET Scanners, which have superior imaging capabilities to what is currently available on the market today. SynchroPET's technology was developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory and it enabled SynchroPET to miniaturize the typical PET Scanner while improving its image. SynchroPET's technology can be paired with an existing MRI machine for a simultaneous image. These advances will accelerate the creation of new pharmaceuticals to treat cancers, and Alzheimer and Parkinson's diseases. SynchroPET currently has four prototypes built, and each have been used by researchers from labs in New York.
SH Coatings, based in Dallas, Texas, employs Super Hydrophobic Coating (SHC) technology that protects power systems by preventing ice accumulation on power lines in ice storm threatened areas and contamination of power lines from salt on the coasts. In order to successfully utilize and commercialize the SHC technology for this application, tools to apply the coating onto new and existing lines must be developed. SH Coatings is developing these tools with the help of technology from Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Iowa Powder Atomization Technologies, Inc. (IPAT), based in Nevada, Iowa, is using gas atomization technology developed at Ames Laboratory to make titanium powder with processes that are ten times more efficient than traditional powder-making methods — significantly lowering the cost of the powder to manufacturers. The powder form of titanium is easier to work with than having to cast the metal — where manufacturers melt and pour liquid metal into molds — particularly given titanium's tendency to react with the materials used to form molds. Titanium's strength, light weight, biocompatibility and resistance to corrosion make it ideal for use in a variety of parts — from components for artificial limbs — like those used by wounded veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan — to military vehicle components, biomedical implants, aerospace fasteners and chemical plant valves.
TrakLok, Inc., based in Knoxville, Tenn., intends to use an Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)-developed, technology for tagging, tracking, locating and communicating with cargo containers and trailers in transit. The ORNL technology provides an avenue to meet increasing requirements for shipping containers to be "smart boxes" that can be tracked electronically. TrakLok uses GPS technology and satellite communications as part of its tracking and warning capability and international container locking technology to protect against container tampering, theft, vandalism and smuggling. Shipments can be tracked through a web-accessible, information technology-based global tracking system to provide real time visibility of cargo.
Vorbeck Materials, based in Jessup, Md., is using a Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)-developed method for building tiny chemical structures to greatly improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable batteries that are widely used in portable devices such as laptops and power electric vehicles. Vorbeck is using PNNL's method to develop better lithium air and lithium sulfur batteries. The new material in Vorbeck's batteries stores twice as much electricity at high charge and discharge rates as current lithium-ion batteries, and creates increased battery capacity and a longer cycle life.
California Lithium Battery (CaLBattery), based in Los Angeles, California, is developing a low-cost, advanced lithium-ion battery that employs a novel silicon graphene composite material that will substantially improve battery cycle life. When combined with other advanced battery materials, it could effectively lower battery life cycle cost by up to 70 percent. Over the next year, CALBattery will be working with Argonne National Laboratory to combine their patented silicon-graphene anode material process together with other advanced ANL cathode and electrolyte battery materials.
Integrated Dynamic Electron Solutions, Inc., based in Belmont, California, uses Dynamic Transmission Electron Microscopes (DTEM) to enable imaging of nanoscale objects, such as proteins, thin films and nanoparticles at unprecedented time scales and frame rates. By utilizing a laser-driven electron source, DTEMs are able to produce short bursts of electrons that can form an image with nanometer resolution in as little as 10 nanoseconds. This enables observation of dynamics in material systems that play an important role in a wide range of energy technologies, including battery electrodes, petroleum catalysts, solar cell materials, and organisms for bio fuel growth. Integrated Dynamic Electron Solutions uses technology developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Field Trips
- 1. High Resolution Stratigraphy of Lower and Middle Mississippian Strata of the Western Flank of the Ozark Plateau-Analogs for the Subsurface Mississippian Play of Kansas and Oklahoma.
Fri.-Sun., 14-16 March. US$450. Max: 50
- Canceled
- 2. Hydro Days! Karst Hydrogeology of the Southern Ozarks.
Sat.-Sun., 15-16 March. US$95. Max: 20
J. Van Brahana, University of Arkansas.
- Continuing a long tradition, J. Van Brahana (professor emeritus, University of Arkansas and USGS, retired) will lead a two-day field trip through the southern Ozarks to view spectacular occurrences of mantled karst terrain, epikarst exposed by fluvial erosion, and the many caverns and springs of the region.
- 3. Uppermost Mississippian Strata in the Ozarks — Recent Mapping of the Imo Interval in NW Arkansas.
Sat., 15 March. US$35. Max: 15
Richard Hutto, Arkansas Geological Survey; Erin Smart, Weatherford Laboratories; Angela Chandler, Arkansas Geological Survey.
- This fieldtrip will examine the principal reference section of the Imo interval then look at recently mapped exposures. The Imo Formation was proposed by Mackenzie Gordon in 1964 for a sequence of shale with interbedded sandstone and conglomerate above the Pitkin Limestone and below the Prairie Grove Member of the Hale Formation. Gordon found that this unit contains unequivocal Mississippian-age fossils, but abandoned the name in the same publication it was proposed due to concurrent mapping by E. E. Glick. Glick included this unit in his Cane Hill Formation which spanned the Mississippian-Pennsylvanian boundary. The name Cane Hill Formation was officially adopted by the Geologic Names Committee of the USGS in 1964, and the name Imo Formation officially abandoned. Nonetheless, the name Imo has been and still is unofficially applied to this interval by the geologic community as seen in various publications, and the name Cane Hill Formation has subsequently dropped from use. In the years since this unit was proposed and abandoned, it has been the subject of sometimes heated debate over its viability as a lithostratigraphic unit, but very little was done to try to map it in the field on a regional basis until recently.
Geologic mapping at the 1:24,000 scale for the STATEMAP Program (2006-2013) has delineated the Imo interval on thirteen (13) 7.5 minute quadrangles in north-central Arkansas. Lithologically, the unit consists of interbedded sequences of locally fossiliferous shale, sandstone, sandy fossiliferous limestone and conglomerate. To date, the Imo has been mapped in three (3) counties totaling roughly 84 square miles of outcrop area.
- 4. Middle and Late Morrowan Depositional History and Sequences, NW Arkansas.
Sun., 16 March. US$50. Max: 15
Angela Chandler, Arkansas Geological Survey; Doy Zachry, University of Arkansas; Walter Manger, University of Arkansas emeritus.
- The Morrowan Field Trip will involve an east to west traverse along structural and depositional strike from Parthenon, Arkansas in Newton County to Fayetteville in Washington County. The stops along highways 74, 23 and 512 will emphasize facies changes along strike from positions proximal to an eastern terrigenous source to successions with increasing amounts of carbonate sediment. Marine and non- marine environments are represented. Fluvial, tidally-dominated, open marine and storm- dominated shelf facies will be emphasized. The units that contain them are placed in a sequence stratigraphic framework.
- 5. Slaughter in the Rocks and Other Geological Aspects of the Battle of Pea Ridge.
Sun., 16 March. US$85. Max: 8
- Canceled
- 6. Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology of the Buffalo National Scenic River.
Wed., 19 March. US$75 Professional/$55 Student. Max: 30
Stephanie Shepherd, Bloomsburg University; Amanda Keen-Zebert, Desert Research Institute; Mark Hudson, USGS.
The Buffalo National Scenic River is the nation's first and foremost national river. Sequences of strath terraces and perched caves in the catchment may represent past periods of transience and episodic incision in the catchment, and stratified alluvial sediments overlying the straths and contained in subterranean caves archive the incision history of the river. We will discuss the driving mechanisms and Quaternary rates of river incision on the Buffalo River derived from recent geochronologic work, the role of lithology in filtering base level fall across catchments with very low uplift rates, ongoing mapping efforts by the USGS, and management issues related to karst and the geomorphology of the watershed.

Injury Care Clinic opens to students
Posted on February 06, 2014
A new clinic that provides free sport-related injury evaluation, treatment and referral services to Grand Valley students opened January 13 on the Allendale Campus.
The Injury Care Clinic is located in the Athletic Training Teaching Lab (Fieldhouse, room 145b). Staff and faculty members from Campus Recreation and Movement Science collaborated to establish the clinic with Metro Health Sports Medicine.
Amy Campbell, assistant director of Wellness in Campus Recreation, and Shari Bartz-Smith, associate professor of movement science and coordinator of the Athletic Training program, noticed a need for the clinic over the past few years. "Students would come to us with chronic injuries or something that was bothering them and wanted to know if it was serious or not," said Campbell.
Bartz-Smith said she views the clinic as a point of referral for students seeking advice about injuries. "People who are not students will also be seen, but the focus of the proposal was students on campus who are currently underserved in the area of injury prevention, recognition and referral," Bartz-Smith said.
Campbell said the clinic will be especially helpful for students who participate in club sports and intramural teams. "Maybe someone who runs as a hobby is experiencing chronic knee pain. They can now come to the Injury Care Clinic and a certified athletic trainer will provide an evaluation of the injury, information on basic treatments and exercises, and refer them to a physician if needed," she said.
No appointments are needed to visit the clinic. Ethan Cunningham, an athletic trainer who works for Metro Health Sports Medicine, will staff the clinic from 2-6 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and 4-8 p.m. on Tuesdays. Cunningham is a graduate of Grand Valley's athletic training program.
Bartz-Smith said, looking ahead, the clinic could serve as a clinical rotation site for athletic training majors.

About GSCM riding camp
Whether you've been riding for years, are just starting lessons, or simply love horses, we have a riding level just right for you! New this year at riding camp, girls entering grades 4-12 will experience the joy and adventure of english horseback riding in a safe and comfortable environment. Conowingo's equestrian staff have previous experience teaching horseback riding and will provide close and constant supervision during all aspects of the riding program
In the new horseback riding program, campers will be broken into four levels of experience. All program levels will focus on level appropriate horsemanship and horse care. On every full day of camp, girls will have time in the stables learning about horse health care and riding time to work on skills in the ring and out on the trails. Girls will also learn the care and management of horses, hands on, by helping conowingo's equestrian staff with feeding, cleaning, and grooming. Riding campers will also participate in other camp activities such as swimming, arts and crafts, nature exploration and the ropes course, as time allows.
Horses may not be ridden in excessive heat or other conditions that would make riding unsafe for campers or horses. If this occurs, other activities will be offered during that time.
Cost to register : $395 before 3/1; $425 after 3/1
How will it work?
Riding camp will be offered each session this summer. After arriving for their session, girls will complete a written assessment of their experience, riding ability, and horse knowledge. After the assessment, girls will be placed in the most appropriate skill level. Each level will be given the opportunity to participate in activities, games, and challenges appropriate to their skill level both on and off the horse.
Please note: camp staff may change a girl's riding level at any point during the week based on their assessment of her riding ability. This is to ensure her safety, as well as the safety of all riders at camp.
Level 1
Campers do not need any previous horse experience. In this level, girls will learn topics such as, but not limited to, the basics of horsemanship, horse sense, rules for safe riding, parts of the horse and tack, approaching, leading, saddling and bridling, mounting and dismounting, basic riding position, and basic aids and horse control. Girls will use these skills to play horse games and to venture out of the ring and onto conowingo's trails.
Level 2
Campers need minimal horse experience and must be able to control a horse at a walk. In this level, girls will learn the basics of trail riding and use the skills they have to compete in various games in the ring as well as learning the trot. Girls will also expand their knowledge of horse colors and markings and horse behavior.
Level 3
Campers need to be comfortable around horses and have some experience. They must be able to groom and tack with limited assistance, mount and dismount without assistance, and control a horse at a trot. In this level, girls will spend most of their riding time outside of the ring on the conowingo trails and the time spent in the ring will be focused on games and exercises. When not riding, girls will focus on areas such as basic horse first aid and horse behavior that will help them to become a stronger, more confident rider.
Level 4
Campers must be experienced and comfortable around horses. They must be able to groom and tack a horse without assistance, control a horse at the walk, trot, and canter, and safely ride in a group. In this level, girls will use their riding ability to explore the trails, play games, and try new things that you can't always do in a standard lesson program. Girls will also expand their knowledge of horse behavior and psychology, first aid, and everyday horse care.
Wit 1 & 2
Wrangler in training by application only – ambassadors, grades 11 or 12

May 22, 2013 —
For an otherworldly experience within a manageable drive of the Upper Delaware region, a visit to the Tannersville Cranberry Bog in Monroe County, PA is in order. Designated a National Natural Landmark because it is the southernmost low-altitude boreal bog on the eastern seaboard, this bog resembles those found at much higher elevations such as New York's Adirondack Mountains.
Many unusual plant species, like the ones depicted here, inhabit the bog. Some of North America's most beautiful native orchids, such as rose pogonia and the state-endangered heart-leaved twayblade, enjoy refuge there.
The bog is one of the first preserves protected by the Nature Conservancy, which limits public visitation due to its fragile nature. Guided tours led by Monroe County Conservation District educators are offered enabling people to explore the heart of the bog via a 1650-foot floating boardwalk.
Visit www.mcconservation.org/downloads/PDFs/2013%20bog%20program%20schedule%20... [2] to see the 2013 schedule of bog walks and programs. Call MCCD at 570-629-3061 for more information.

PITTSBURGH, PA (July 12, 2007) – Passenger traffic grew by 3.7 percent in May 2007, compared to May 2006, at Pittsburgh International Airport (www.FlyPittsburgh.com) according to the May 2007 Scheduled Airline Traffic Report, prepared by the Allegheny County Airport Authority. Nine airlines reported increases, four of which showed gains of more than 20 percent.
May 2007 is the third month this year to show year-over-year passenger growth 905,392, 2007 vs. 872,778, 2006. January 2007 had a 2.8 percent increase over January 2006, and April 2007 had a 1.6 percent increase over April 2006. This is significant because in all of 2006, only two months indicated year-over-year positive passenger growth.
"For three out of five months this year, we have realized significant passenger growth. The positive story is that more passengers are flying from Pittsburgh International Airport and are taking advantage of the lower fares and more airline choices," said Kent G. George, Executive Director, Allegheny County Airport Authority. "Fares at Pittsburgh International Airport have dropped below the national average ($142 PIT vs. $149 national average) based on the U.S. Department of Transportation figures. This is a major change from 2000 when our fares were significantly higher than the US average ($192 PIT vs. $157 national average). We anticipate continued growth of origination and destination traffic."
Delta Air Lines reported 22.9 percent increase in passengers (77,917, May 2007 vs. 62,238, May 2006), a gain of more than 15,000 passengers. Southwest Airlines added more than 23,000 passengers for a 22.9 percent increase (125,778, May 2007 vs. 102,308, May 2006), while AirTran Airways gained almost 7,000 passengers (34,671, May 2007 vs. 27,821, May 2006) and USA 3000 Airlines showed a 20.9 percent increase (14,272, May 2007 vs. 11,806, May 2006).
Those four were followed by American Airlines, which increased 19.6 percent (42,600, May 2007 vs. 35,622, May 2006), Air Canada, which showed a 13.9 percent increase (3,747, May 2007 vs. 3,290, May 2006), Continental Airlines 10.9 percent increase (44,303, May 2007 vs. 39,947, May 2007), Midwest Connect 8.2 percent increase (8,837, May 2007 vs. 8,168, May 2006) and United 7.7 percent increase (62,556, May 2007 vs. 58,107, May 2006).
Those increases reported by those nine airlines outpaced the losses reported by US Airways, which showed a decrease of nearly 58,000 passengers for a 12.3 percent loss (414,351, May 2007 vs. 472,293, May 2006). Northwest (49,318/51,178; 3.6 percent) was the only other airline to report a decrease in traffic.
JetBlue Airways, which began service in June of 2006, reported 25,389 passengers for May 2007. Year-to-date totals show 101,709 passengers, which accounts for 2.54 percent of the total traffic. Myrtle Beach Direct Air which began service in March of 2007 had 1,653 passengers for the month. Airport-wide, year-to-date figures show traffic 0.9 percent ahead of last year's pace (4,010,893/3,973,679; 0.9 percent).

Scott Tolzien smiled at the memory Wednesday. He wasn't embarrassed by it, but he wasn't exactly proud of it, either. As is often the case with the easy-going, virtually unflappable Green Bay Packers quarterback, it simply was what it was.
"That's a fact," Tolzien replied when asked if the seemingly unbelievable story was indeed true.
There's no denying that the former University of Wisconsin quarterback is putting in long hours in preparation for his first NFL start, against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. Elevated from the practice squad a week ago, he'll now start in place of former NFL MVP and three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who remains sidelined with a broken collarbone. After a solid performance in relief of an injured Seneca Wallace in last week's loss to Philadelphia, Tolzien is staying after practice to go over plays with Rodgers and his receivers, he's attending additional meetings with quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo and spending extra time watching film on his team-issued iPad playbook prepping for the Giants defense.
And on Tuesday night, Tolzien stayed so late at the facility meeting 1-on-1 with head coach Mike McCarthy about the game plan that McCarthy finally had to send him home around 9:30.
"He tells me he sleeps well. I'll take his word for that," McCarthy said after Wednesday's practice. "He's getting his proper rest. He eats well because he's here all the time. So I'm not worried about him. The man loves it, and you've got to appreciate his work ethic. It's refreshing, and it's good for everybody. He's going about it the right way."
And at least Tolzien is actually going home each night.
In 2011, after being released by the San Diego Chargers on the final round of roster cuts and signing with the San Francisco 49ers the week of the season-opener, the undrafted rookie free agent decided there was no point in immediately finding permanent housing. Since he was spending so much time at the 49ers' facility in Santa Clara, Calif., Tolzien simply slept in the players' lounge for his first two weeks on the roster.
"I signed there Week 1 so I was scrapping to learn the playbook. I was working late hours there and they had a nice couch there, some nice TVs, so I figured, 'Why not?'" Tolzien recounted Wednesday. "I wasn't getting much sleep at that point. It made it more convenient.
"I got a few looks here and there, but it wasn't too much of a big deal. The priority was just to learn the offense at the time. That was the most convenient thing for me."
It wasn't completely convenient, though. Tolzien had to choose his couch wisely, since there were a few workaholic assistant coaches who were also crashing at the facility from time to time, and he kept his clothes in a duffel bag that he stashed behind his couch.
"You were just wearing all of your (team-)issued gear most of the time anyways," Tolzien said. "There didn't have to be much laundry, which worked out well."
And while he'll have to play better against the Giants than he did against Philadelphia – although he completed 24 of 39 passes for 280 yards against the Eagles, he threw a pair of interceptions, including one in the end zone – the Packers feel Tolzien has worked out well for them. When the Cleveland Browns offered Tolzien a spot on their 53-man roster last month, Tolzien turned it down after the Packers bumped his practice-squad salary up to the second-year veteran minimum, increasing his weekly salary more than fivefold.
It's turned out to be money well spent.
"To go in there and make the plays that he made – obviously he'd want maybe a couple of those throws back – but he did some great things out there," Rodgers said on his weekly radio show on 540 ESPN and ESPNWisconsin.com. "For a guy who was on the practice squad, had a chance to leave (and) decided to stick it out, to be elevated to the 53-man roster) and then get thrown out there says a lot about his preparation.
"I'm very proud of Scott. I think – I know – he has a bright future. I've just been impressed with his demeanor and his approach since he got here. And I think he's going to have a good week."
Although Rodgers isn't a big fan of comparing players, he sees some similarities between Tolzien and recently-signed Matt Flynn, his backup from 2008 through 2011. He also sees a little of himself in the kid he's nicknamed "Scoots" (a nickname Rodgers admits "is not very creative").
Rodgers said Tolzien, whom he'd never met before the Packers signed him to the practice squad after final cuts, impressed him the very first week, when he put together an impressive report on his former team's defense in preparation for the Packers' regular-season opener against the 49ers. Rodgers, who did the reports himself as a backup to Brett Favre in the mid-2000s, was taken aback by the detail.
"He's a perfectionist, which I can relate to," Rodgers said. "Back in 2006, we started doing weekly reports, where I would watch hours and hours of film and write up a report on the entire secondary (of the upcoming opponent). Back then it was just Brett and I; there wasn't another quarterback in the room. So I would do the cornerbacks and the safeties and give him and the room a report of what I saw, what I think would work.
"Ultimately, it wasn't like I was giving Brett anything that he was going to use in the game. I think it was more to get me into a routine of preparation – watching the film I should be watching, looking for the things I should be looking for – and it really taught me a lot about preparation. Regardless of if anything I said stuck with Brett, it was fun for me to go through the week as if I was going to be the starter. And I say that because I've watched Seneca and Scott go through this and it's been impressive to watch both of them in their approach.
"But Scott reminds me of a young Matt. I said that before Matt was here – and I don't like to make a ton of comparisons – but it is a compliment. When Matt came in, you saw a lot of growth in the way he was throwing it and in his approach. And I think Scott, he's been throwing it better since the first day he got here, and his approach has been very solid, he's very detail-oriented.
"It's been impressive to see him make plays on the scout team, and I've always said it, whether it's the young guys (on the 53-man roster) or guys who are trying to get activated off the practice squad, the way to get people's attention is to make plays in practice. The way you're going to have confidence in the game is making those plays in practice, whether it's the first team or the scout team. And Scott's been making a lot of plays on the scout team, whether it's throwing the ball in tight windows, throwing the ball deep, moving in the pocket, a lot of stuff you saw on Sunday."
That Tolzien is working as hard as he is comes as no surprise to those who know him from his time at UW, where he led the Badgers to the 2011 Rose Bowl, or to those who've gotten to know him since he joined the team on Sept. 2.
"I think he'll definitely be great for the Packers. He's not going to sleep until he knows the playbook inside and out," said Badgers tight end Jacob Pedersen, who played with Tolzien at UW in 2010. "He's just a got a work-ethic personality almost. He's going to do everything possible to give the Packers an opportunity to win the game. That's what he did for us and I think he'll continue that."
Added Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson: "We're real confident in Scott. Just the way he came in and controlled the huddle, he was very confident in how he spoke. If he was lying to us or just trying to put off a good vibe, he was very confident. He knows his stuff. We see the work he puts in. When you see a guy like him grinding the way he does every day, you know he's going to be prepared."
That said, the Packers coaches are being cautious that they don't overload Tolzien. He'll have a pared down playbook on Sunday, and McCarthy's 1-on-1 meeting with him was designed in part to determine which plays Tolzien likes best. McCarthy does the same thing with Rodgers each week, but with Rodgers, the menu is considerably more extensive – despite Tolzien's infamous work ethic.
But whatever happens Sunday at the Meadowlands, it won't be because Tolzien didn't put the time in.
"The most important thing is that the preparation is where you make your hay. You have to win the week first," Tolzien said. "That's where a lot of the wins and losses come, how do you approach the week leading up to the game. The best way to combat pressure is to prepare the right way.
"I think you build your confidence through your preparation through the week. It's Wednesday right now. Hopefully as the week goes on your confidence builds more and more with your comfort level and your preparation and your plan."

Penny Bailey remembers watching in amazement as firefighters rushed into the Pentagon trying to find survivors of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, despite orders to fall back.
Bailey was working in the Pentagon at the time of the attack.
"Every fire department within 30 to 100 miles was there," said Bailey, a retired Air Force officer who moved to Clovis this year with her husband, who is the senior physician at Cannon Air Force Base.
Bailey shared her story of how she survived the Sept. 11 attack Tuesday with an audience of about 60 people who came to honor first responders in Clovis and Curry County and remember the victims of the terror attack. The event was held at the Patriot Outdoors sports center in Curry County, where Bailey works.
Bailey said moments before the attack, she was helping a general plan an October conference in the Pentagon. She said they were about to go farther down the hallway when she asked to go to her office. Bailey said she wanted to check on her daughter, who stayed home sick from school.
Just as the door to her office shut, she said she felt the building shake. A Boeing 757 crashed into a section of the Pentagon where she had just shown the general around, killing about 140 people. One of the victims was former Eastern New Mexico University basketball player Ron Milam, who worked at the Pentagon.
"God, literally, saved me that day," she said.
As she left the building looking for her husband, who was also stationed at the Pentagon, she witnessed the heroism of the firefighters and the police officers at the scene.
"We felt safe," she said. "Even though we had just been attacked, we felt safe."
Patriot Outdoors owner Stephen Powell said a Sept. 11 commemoration event is something he would do annually.
"We wanted to do this to ensure our community can see and be reminded of how patriotic we, as Americans, should be," he said.
Representatives from Clovis and Curry County police and fire departments received plaques from the sports outlet.

You know what? I have lived a really happy life so far. I can't pin point one particular moment that was the best. I guess any time that I can spend with family and friends is worth reliving. Time is a very finite thing, so I try to make the best of every moment I get.

text: Hello! I have a question regarding milk supply. I am only producing an ounce, sometimes half an ounce. I pump or my baby sucks every 2 hours. The time spent is about 10 min. on each breast. I drink about 10 glasses of water/juice/milk. I took fenugreek (6 tabs. per day) for the last 4 weeks. I am taking prenatal, iron, brewer's yeast, and I eat pretty well. Is there anything else I can do? Is it possible to still get a good milk supply, my baby is four weeks old?
