Strange Days: My Say on Salem
By: IMissAremid
Volume No. 2
Ed. Note: Some spoilers for the week of Sept. 24 discussed.
"My love-hate (but mostly hate) relationship with Hogan Sheffer"
Perusing the various soap boards this evening, I'm noticing that hostility toward "Days of our Lives" Head Writer Hogan Sheffer is at a fever pitch.
A confluence of factors has contributed to this latest storm of criticism, perhaps the biggest catalyst for this vitriol being the release of last week's ratings showing "Days" in dead last in the soap standings, below even "Guiding Light," now that "Passions" has gone to that great DirecTV in the sky.
To some gloating John and Marlena fans this is vindication that the show has ignored their pleas for more screentime for their faves at its own peril, while to some bitter Lucas and Sami fans fearful that their couple is slipping away this provides an opportunity for them to once again lay blame for the show's woes on "the rapist." (Me: Which one?)
But for me, it's not the ratings that have me frustrated with Hogan – it's the show he's putting on the screen. It's the missed opportunities in his stories. It's the lack of variety and balance to his canvas. It's the dearth of romance and overabundance of melodrama. It's the lack of respect for the integrity of the characters and their histories.
And it's the despair in the knowledge that it doesn't have to be this way.
You see, the truth is I want to love Hogan Sheffer. For whatever reason, and surely Hogan has to have something to do with it, I am more invested in this soap than I have been at any time during my life. Just about every "Days" character I've ever cared deeply about save Vivian Alamain is on the canvas right now and the current characters I like best, E.J. and Sami, are leading in the episode counts and I have even been treated to their look-alike ancestors this summer. I feel like I should be extremely happy with the show right now and its Brady-DiMera focus.
But I'm not. Because I don't trust Hogan Sheffer to keep me consistently happy given the way he has burned me in the past and given all the times I've gotten my hopes up about a promising spoiler or curious twist that just fizzled with no payoff in the end. Especially after this generally mediocre, bland week that seemed to have squandered all the excitement and tension built up over the past several weeks in the Brady-DiMera feud storyline, I feel like I am justified in expecting little from him.
There's also the way that he always seems to find a new way to tweak me when I hear him speak.
First, there were his comments on this week's episode of "I Wanna Be A Soap Star" where he was trying to determine whether to eliminate Travis or Yves from the slew of reality show contestants vying for a 13-week contract on "Days."
In the end, Hogan decided it best to eliminate Travis despite the fact he thought him a more gifted actor and despite the fact he would rather write a character taking advantage of his talents. He kept Yves, he said, because "I know" that "Days" viewers would rather see the model-looking guy than the best possible actor. I simply don't believe that's true, and if it was I think "Days" would have a much larger audience and less fan antipathy for its stories centered around the exploits of characters portrayed by an ex-Abercrombie and Fitch model and Playgirl centerfold moonlighting as a stripper.
Then there were his infuriating remarks in the "Days" cover story on the feud storyline resolution published in this week's Soap Opera Digest.
At the end of the article, Hogan speculated on the undetermined future of Lucas and Sami and in doing so tossed out the spurious claim that Sami and Lucas "always seem to end up right back where they started – blissfully together."
Give me a break! When have Sami and Lucas ever been "blissful" during their years on the show? And even if they've been "together" off and on over the past few years, they certainly didn't "start" out that way.
If Hogan really thinks Lucas and Sami are the couple this show should feature then the very least he could do is write both characters true to whom they actually are, with angst and dysfunction and a volatile relationship that is honest to their history rather than trying to manufacture some cookie cutter happily ever after relationship for them.
Hogan also acknowledged in the SOD article that Lumi fans "will be livid" by the latest developments in their couple's story. Well, duh. Did he think that simply acknowledging their outrage was going to make Lumi fans happy? Did he think giving them a shoutout would pacify them? It won't. And it's just pathetic that a head writer who should care about all fans of the show would single out any fan base this way or so brazenly acknowledge the way that fan base reaction apparently figures into his writing.
But perhaps that explains why this Brady-DiMera feud storyline in the end is being revealed now when all is said and done as nothing more than an extremely unsatisfying attempt at multi-generational EJami fan fiction masquerading as an all-encompassing umbrella story using 25 years of "Days" history as window-dressing to quickly pave the way for an E.J. and Sami pairing rather than actually address the mistakes the show has made in the couple's story of the past year and fix them.
In the article, Hogan says:
"If I'd chosen to put something else in the folio, the stakes would have changed drastically. The vendetta might still have ended, but the vendetta is not really important at the end of the day. What's important is that Sami, married to, and in love with, Lucas, now has to face the possibility of marrying EJ, her nemesis and most tantalizing temptation, in order to stop the violence against her family."
(SOD Oct. 2)
So the vendetta storyline, featured in blaring promos as a "big summer story" is apparently "not really important at the end of the day" to the head writer who penned it. If the person writing the show doesn't find the storyline "really important at the end of the day," why should any of the show's viewers? I mean, I've felt like the fact that Hogan didn't think this storyline was all that important did show through in his careless writing at times, but I never expected to see him admit it in print.
Is it any wonder if "Days" fans are wishing that SoapNet was airing "I Wanna Be A Soap Head Writer" instead of "I Wanna Be A Soap Star" this season?
This week in Salem:
Performer of the week – Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) … I loved her tough love for Jeremy and Stephanie. The intensity she brought to her scenes brought out the best in young actors, Trevor Donovan and Shelley Hennig, who are stuck playing somewhat less than likable characters a lot of the time. She also really struck all the right notes in Pocket's health scare and handling Steve's guilt over that. Kayla just rocks so hard right now.
Script Writer of the week – Jodie Scholz (Monday) … I admit this is mostly just by default as none of the other episodes this week really caught my attention.
Scene of the week – EJ/Sami/Lucas at the hospital (Monday) … I can't help it. The "she loves me, she loves me not" fiddling with the rose petals before the love declaration that was quickly taken back as just a joke after Sami scolded E.J. was the highlight of the week for me.
Couple of the week – Steve and Stefano … That alternately humorous and menacing confrontation between the two of them in Thursday's episode was some pretty good stuff. Too bad the rest of this week didn't hold the same appeal.
Salem stooge of the week #1 – Shawn … While you aren't suppose to put fire extinguishers in freezers, I guess it's a good thing some other stooge did it for Shawn's sake after he got punch-drunk on his Molotov cocktail and started a fire in the locked room holding him and his fiancé after a psycho twice his age kicked his ass. But at least Shawn didn't have the humiliation of Andre being in drag or a clown suit when he was laying the smackdown on him, I guess.
Salem stooge of the week #2 – Steve … It's hard to hand out only one of these awards this week (OK I admit most weeks on DOOL) when a baby at Patch's daycare got poisoned and he got stabbed as the result of his rash decision to participate in Bo's stupid scheme to try to entrap Andre so I'll go with him this week, too.
Scene-stealer of the week – Andre's disembodied voice (Monday) … If only they would let Andre start killing people again for real. *sigh*
Line of the week – "Well, I don't see why I have to leave just because Lucas here insists on acting like a child." (E.J. - Monday)

The Leading Provider of Chiropractic Neurology and Functional Medicine in Colorado…
We combine and evaluate the metabolic system, immune system and Chiropractic Neurology, to get you a specific nutritional and brain-based solutions that does not rely on the use of drugs or surgery to improve your body's function.
Navigating the healthcare system can feel like driving without a road map. However, Integrated Health Systems doesn't rely solely on the past medical opinions of others to guide treatment.
Instead, we start from the beginning, working with patients to get a good picture of their medical history before embarking on the road to lasting well-being.
Are you currently…
- Frustrated with having a label?
- Unhappy with the diagnosis from your doctor?
- Not sure surgery is the best option for you?
- Frustrated with doctors who don't listen?
- Tired of drugs that mask symptoms without addressing the cause?
- Uncertain of where to go or what to do next?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you may be a good candidate for our comprehensive services at Integrated Health Systems.
We're here to provide comprehensive, Functional Medicine and brain-based solutions for you to take charge of your health.
Our focus is to bring together all aspects of a person health to determine the best way to get the achieved results. We do it for our current patients everyday and we can do the same for you.
We work with only those people who are serious about getting well and taking the steps necessary to make it happen. We do not work with those who have a "quick fix" mentality. Not everyone is a good candidate for care…the following is to give you a good idea if we're a good fit to work together.
Our patients are those struggling with not knowing what else to do, where else to go and who else to talk to about their health condition. Usually they've been told by someone, "We'll just wait to see what happens."
Most of our patients come to see us because they're frustrated and discouraged. We have had several patients come in to our office and say things like, "I'm so discouraged with the medical system" or "I'm frustrated because I've been to this doctor, this acupuncturist, this massage therapist, this chiropractor, but nothing is working and I don't know what else to do."
If we had to describe most of our patients, they would be: women, men, children and infants, who are…
- Really tired of being placed on prescription drugs all the time.
- Have been told they need surgery, but felt there was another way.
- Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.
- Disillusioned by traditional medicine and want to get to the root problem of their condition.
- Frustrated with having symptoms when all of their tests are normal.
- Do not understand why they have to take medications that make them feel worse and wondering if there are other treatments without masking symptoms.
Most of our patients have said or have struggled with…
- I've been everywhere…no one knows what's wrong with me…all my tests are negative, but I am still having problems.
- I am taking so many supplements and vitamins and I am still having problems.
- I've had a lot of tests ran and nobody has been able to help me.
- Why do I have to take these medications…they make me feel worse. Isn't there a safer alternative that isn't covering up the symptoms?
- My Doctor says I need surgery, but I want another option.
- My blood tests are normal, so why do I still have these symptoms and still feel horrible?
- Why do I still have back pain? The doctor said the MRI of my lower back is negative. I don't understand what could be causing this.
If this sounds familiar, we may be a good fit to work together.
At Integrated Health, our focus is to uncover ALL of the reasons behind your condition and to restore function successfully.
Our patients care about their health and not just being symptom free. They are looking to correct a problem or condition and have the results be long-lasting.
We dig in and find the core element of your condition or problem by looking at the brain-body connection (see how we work for more information).
We have extensive experience working with those patients who have: Learning Disorders, Autism, ADD/ADHD, Seizures, Strokes, Movement Disorders, Dizziness, Chronic Fatigue, Endocrine issues (such as Thyroid Dysfunction and Diabetes), and Autoimmune disorders (such as Hashimoto's and Multiple Sclerosis).
We work with patients who suffer from Male or Female Hormonal Disorders such as: PCOS, low libido, erectile dysfunction, low testosterone (andropause), menstrual disorders, menopause, infertility, etc… (see conditions we've helped for more information).

Despite a challenging schedule, Engineering's Test, Reliability and Evaluation Branch (TREB) along with several other Edgewood Chemical Biological Center labs from the Engineering and Research & Technology Directorates were able to effectively work together to complete first article testing of M49 120 cfm Fixed Installation Filters (M49 FIF). The tests met both cost and schedule requirements in accordance with the contractor's, Calgon Carbon Corp/Barnebey-Sutcliffe, Scope of Work.
"Calgon was pleased with the dedication ECBC and TREB showed during this effort," TREB Chief Do Nguyen said.
The M49 120 cfm Fixed Installation Filters (M49 FIF) – commonly used for protecting fixed installations from toxic gases, biological, and chemical warfare agents – are found all over the world in shelters, laboratories, office buildings and even public buildings. These types of filtration systems use a three step process to filter out contaminants. The prefilter first collects dust and other larger particles in the first stage to prevent clogging of the other two filter elements. The second stage consists of a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter that collects smaller sub-micron-sized particles like biological agents and radiological particles. A gas filter adsorbs toxic chemical gases and vapors to complete the filtration process. These 120 cfm filters are housed together in either five or ten stacks to create either 600 or 1200 cfm gas filter assemblies that are easy to install, maintain, and are completely decontaminable.
The M49 filter was originally designed by ECBC and produced by Pine Bluff Arsenal (PBA) in the early 1990's. The filters were typed as classified and fielded, all of which ECBC was part of.
"Recently, PBA stopped producing the M49 and the race has been on to find a private-sector supplier before the current stockpile reaches critical levels," Nguyen said.
TREB became heavily involved in supporting TACOM-Warren's Item Manager and procurement office and ECBC-Rock Island's Quality Assurance team to ensure all requirements were correct and included in the contract. TREB, in a joint effort with TACOM- Warren, hosted a Technical Question Ask (QA) session at ECBC's TREB facility in Summer 2010 for all potential contractors prior to the award of the contract.
Calgon won the contract to begin production and TREB, in a combined effort with the Environmental Field Test Branch, Protective Equipment Test Branch, and CBR Filtration Branch, took charge of ensuring that Calgon was a good source to produce these filters through a recent First Article Test.
This test subjected the M49 filters to a challenging battery of tests, including Air Flow Resistance, Cyanogen Chloride Gas Life on both carbon samples and filters, DiMethyl MethylPhosphonate Filter Gas Life, Rough Handling Resistance, Hot/Cold Temperature Conditioning, Salt Fog Corrosion, Maintainability, and Workmanship.
TREB and JPM-P Collaborate for Acceptance Testing of the JSGPM M50 Mask Systems
The Test, Reliability and Evaluation Branch (TREB) performed Outlet Valve Leakage Testing on Joint Service General Purpose Mask (JSGPM) M50 Systems in response to the Joint Project Management Protection (JPM-P): Joint Service Ground Mask Branch (JSGMB)/ Joint Service Ground Masks Team's urgent request in March 2011.
"As there has been no specific test procedure for testing these systems on the TDA-124 Outlet Valve Leakage Tester, TREB and JPM-P worked closely together to develop methodology and procedures," TREB Chief Do Nguyen said.
Those methods and procedures were derived from the guidelines given in the Defense Chemical Test Equipment Operator Training Guide and M4A1 Outlet Valve Leakage Indicator Procedures for the M50/51 JSGPM.
The M50 Outlet Valve Plug/Adapter and the Outlet Valve Hose from the Joint Service Mask Adapter Kit (JSMAK) were used to test the mask systems on the TDA-124. It was noted during various testing and previously determined troubleshooting that the JSMAK M50 Outlet Valve Plug/Adapter had some difficulty maintaining a proper seal at the mask interfaceTREB initiated and engaged in collaboration with JPMP: JSGMB, determining what the problem was and providing recommendations for mitigating the issue.
TREB provided the Visual Inspection and Outlet Valve Leakage data report to the JSGMB in a much shorter timeframe than usual in order to meet the requested schedule.
"We strived to remain responsive throughout the support period, addressing how the testing was being performed and fielding all questions or concerns," Nguyen said.
Additionally, the M50/TDA-124 Safety Operating Procedure (SOP) that was being prepared was completed much faster. The expedited process was attributed to the copy of the necessary operation manual provided by TREB to the group that writes the methods through JPMP: JSGMB.

By Thomas Garcia: Quay County Sun
In recent weeks there has been an increase in graffiti in Tucumcari that could be linked to gangs.
Several cars and buildings have been "tagged" with spray paint, according to police records.
On Aug. 19-20, eight vehicles were reported to have been vandalized with spray paint and had similar markings, according to police reports.
"We do have gang activity but it is minor compared to other larger cities," said Tucumcari Police Department detective Jack Hendrickson. "We are seeing more and more influence from outside cities."
Sometimes, people are influenced by a person or group of persons that have moved into a new area from a gang-heavy city, said Amarillo Police Department Uniform Crime Analyst Cpl. Steve Powers.
Powers has worked with the Amarillo Police Department for 25 years. For 20 years, Powers has researched and dealt with gangs and for 16 of those years, he has served as a crime analyst for the department.
"I have taught classes for law enforcement in services and organizations like the P.T.A.," said Powers. "I go over basic information that will help the parent and teacher identify that there is a problem and how to address it."
Sometimes, "Members of a gang are moved by their families to keep them out or away from trouble," said Powers. But, "That person can continue their gang lifestyle and possibly influence people to that lifestyle."
There are about five groups that have been involved with the "tagging," said Hendrickson. Some of the markings reported to the police department have similarities to gang symbols seen elsewhere, said Tucumcari Police officer, acting Lt. Patti Lopez.
"We have seen some of the symbols and markings that are similar to those found in larger cities," said Lopez. "Although anyone that we have had in custody has denied any gang affiliation."
Graffiti is the first indicator of gang activity, said Powers. "Graffiti is the newspaper of the street," said Powers. "It can be found near schools or heavily trafficked hang-out spots such as malls or movie theaters. Gang members usually do not care about the owner of the property that they deface."
A gang could be considered any group of people together that are committed to the same goal or outcome, said Hendrickson. Under that definition, youth organizations like the Cubs Scouts could be called gangs, but the "gang" connotation is marked with illegal activity.
"A gang will act together to achieve an illegal activity whether it be vandalism, drug usage or theft," said Hendrickson. "We have seen several people locally wearing the same type of clothing identifying themselves to others as being part of a group. But we have not seen organized crime such as burglaries, thefts or assaults like other cities have seen from gangs."
Tucumcari is experiencing the same problems that many towns it size are facing with gang activity, said Powers.
"In Texas a gang is three or more people that have come together with a commonality linking them together," said Powers. "It could be anything from tattoos, colors and street names. In the 80s we looked at the clothing that people wore that were in gangs."
Nowadays, with the clothing styles and different designer lines it has become increasingly harder to distinguish who actually is in a gang by looking at the clothes they wear, said Powers.
Many of the youth in Tucumcari who police have encountered who are involved in the vandalism or illegal activities have been in the age group of 13-19, said Lopez.
This summer, for example, the police often found several juveniles out after midnight, said Hendrickson.
School superintendent Aaron McKinney referred questions about gang activity in the schools to the principals. Tucumcari High School principal Michelle Potter said she is not aware of any teachers reporting gang activity.
"None of the faculty have reported gang activity this year," said Potter. "I have been told that we have had an great start to the school year. The children are excited and positive about school this year."
"Many of the parents of the juveniles, who we would make contact with or arrest, had no idea where their children were," said Hendrickson. "Since there is no curfew law there has been a rise in alcohol and drug abuse by juveniles."
Parents should keep track of who their children are hanging out with, said Lopez. Oftentimes, if their friends are in trouble, they are in trouble, said Lopez. Parents will notice a change in the child's attitude towards them and authority, said Lopez.
About 75 percent of the problem with the children who are getting in trouble is the lack of parental involvement, said Hendrickson.
There are families where both of the parents work and the child is in school and sometimes they have little time to get involved, Hendrickson said.
But even a little time spent knowing what their children are doing can make a difference, said Hendrickson.
Often young children who are searching for identity get drawn in by the lure of a gang, said Powers.
"Younger children are often drawn into a gang because of the unity and the illusion of a family that it offers," said Powers. "Once inside they often find themselves trapped in that lifestyle with no way to get out."

Now that Chipper Jones has officially come out and announced his plans to retire following the 2012 season, it is time to start taking a look at his career.
Chipper was one of the best Braves of all time, as well as one of the top third basemen. That only leaves the question of where he ranks among the best switch-hitters in the game.
This article is a power ranking of the 10 best switch-hitters of all time, a list where Chipper has earned a place. The list is strong enough that Hall of Fame members Max Carey and Red Schoendienst failed to make the cut, as well as more modern players like Carlos Beltran, Jorge Posada, Ted Simmons and Reggie Smith.

This has been a public service announcement.
Ok, now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
What do I do?
You might have to inquire within! (Um, yup! That would be me. I'd recognize that ugly mug anywhere...)
Part-time/hobby sketch artist. Learned from comic books a long time ago (plus several art classes in high school, college, and beyond), but still appreciate superhero types! Now that I can draw Spiderman, Hulk, and Superman in my sleep (almost), I favor Super Gals... Fit, athletic women are highly appreciated as art models. And yes, Dance and Yoga definitely count as "athletic"!
Many directions this could go in as my skills, experience, and portfolio develop: web, video, animation, and concept pieces are some of the possibilities; we'll see what happens. For now, though, it's pretty much strictly not even "back to", but "still on" the drawing board! Or the sketch pad, anyway. Enjoy! : )
OK, sorry I need to say this, but... "NO SMOKING & NO DRUGS", period. Yes, I'm an artist. But actually, I'm an athlete first.
(And yes, I may on occasion serve wine to friends of age who drink responsibly...)
Photos! Ya mean all I had to do was point this thing and press that button? And I get a picture-perfect image virtually every time??? Why didn't anybody tell me??? This is SO MUCH easier than slaving & sweating over the drawing board for an hour! More fun, too.
Yes, I'm adding photos... I still consider myself a sketch artist first, but since framing and setting up image composition are so fundamental to drawing in the first place, photography is, well, just a click away...
So if you're a model in one of my genres (clean-cut, classic-style, "Bond Girl"/fitness/superhero/"Daisy Duke"/etc. type of gal), just let me know whether you'd prefer to model for a photo shoot or for drawing, or for both!
Well, somehow my 2nd thousand photos weren't quite as much fun as my 1st thousand... I'm heading back to the drawing board! Really, photos are cool, and depending on the situation can even be priceless, but normally, I'm finding drawing to be much more fun. It really lets you savor the moment, rather than just "click - done - next". And it's fun to see my skills evolve... When I compare my newer drawings (not posted yet) with what I was doing even one year ago, Wow! What a difference... Can't wait for more...
: )
Yes, I'm an artist. But actually, I'm an athlete first.
Seriously, if you smoke or use illicit drugs, please: Stop reading now and go on to some fellow druggie's web page. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but all that toxic garbage is much harsher on your body and mind. Health statistics say smoking kills some 400,000 Americans per year. That's like a hundred 9/11s. Every year. (No arguments, please. That's not what this page is for; that's what junior high school was for. By the way, since when did "judgement", as in "good judgement" become a bad word?)
"A sound mind in a sound body"... We're here, on this planet, to "model", as in to be "model human beings".
(I think that was another public service announcement... Yeah, the smoking section is outside on the wing of the airplane... No smoking within 25,000 miles-- that's one Earth circumference-- of my place!)
I realize this website, Model Mayhem, is very aptly named, and things happen; however, if a model were to flake (canceling with less than 24 hours' notice), usually I will reschedule, but that model should expect a 33% reduction in whatever I may have offered for that shoot. Should that model for some unfathomable circumstance flake twice in a row, again, I might be willing reschedule (if I'm in a really nice mood... and I likely will be!), but she should then expect an additional such reduction. Three flakes in a row and I probably would not reschedule (and if I do, it probably will be at a very low priority for me). Should some kind of mayhem occur, and a flake happens, then once it has been made up to me as above, then we are good as new.
Since I practice what I preach, should some unforeseen event force me to flake on you (very unlikely), I will "take care of you", probably just giving you whatever I had offered you anyway. (You'd do the same for me, right?)
Obviously, flaking wastes my time in booking, scheduling other activities around that time block, and possibly even preparing, etc.
Further, FLAKING ALSO HURTS OTHER MODELS, because if a model flakes on a session, that was a booking I could have offered to another model, since obviously I was available then. Thus, you should criticize other models who flake, because their flaking indirectly hurts you too.

As I mentioned, once I do book a session with you, I am at least 99% reliable for it. As you can see from my port, I have booked hundreds of sessions (of course I don't post pix from every one), and I've barely ever canceled one, with any amount of advance notice.

Gotta admit, I don't really get it... (The website "Friends" part, I mean. The real "friends" part I totally get!) So generally, I don't spend my time "Friending" thousands of people I'll probably never meet, nor do I really check my "Friend Requests" too often. I mean, if you really cared, you'd send a note, right?
Seriously, after browsing someone's profile that you like, why click "Friend" when you could click "Send", with a meaningful note attached?

DEFINITELY A PLUS if you're more than "just a pretty face"... I love it when models bring or shape good ideas too! Art/photo modeling projects are definitely a great place to start, but potential future projects could go far beyond that... scripts/screenplays, entrepreneurial projects, who knows? Let's create!
Best wishes,

Remember a few months ago when HBO's Real Sports ran that "damning" piece on college athletics? You do remember, right? A little about Stanley McGlover? Some stuff on hundred dollar handshakes? Most importantly, remember how the whole show was supposed to shake the NCAA to the core, and make us re-evaluate everything we ever thought we knew about college athletics?
Yeh, umm, about that. I'm pretty sure it never happened.
Instead, the show turned into nothing more than a well-produced fluff piece, no different than the 40,000 magazine articles, blog posts and TV features you've already seen on the subject. Sure it might've shaken you to the core…if you're a 46-year-old housewife in Des Moines who can't find Auburn, AL on a map. But for the rest of us, it was old news, business as usual. I don't know person- no matter their opinions on college athletics- who came away with a changed or altered view from that piece.
One thing did catch my ear though, and it came from former Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez. In between Billy Packer yelling at everyone, and Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock blabbing on about some "revolution," that I've still yet to see happen, I thought Rodriguez brought up a really good point. He mentioned how the core tenants of the NCAA are in their proper place, and that it is the school and coach's responsibility to make sure that a kid is focused on the entire picture of the college experience, and not only thinking about the NFL (And really, Rodriguez should know. Because after watching his Michigan teams the last few years, I think it's safe to say that most of his former players will be going pro in something other than football. Kidding! But not really).
Rodriguez then followed that up with a better point, discussing something that he thought should be changed. To paraphrase, he believes we need to re-evaluate what the value of a college scholarship is really worth, and maybe expand it a bit. Maybe allow a couple extra bucks for an out-of-state kid to head home on a bye week, or make it more affordable to eat out, buy new clothes, whatever. Whether the kid actually uses the money responsibly is beside the point. What's important is to be more flexible with how we hand out the cash to begin with.
And I've got to say, I loved the idea.
For one, I had never heard anyone make that proposal in quite the way Rodriguez did. It's smart, different and realistic, something that is almost never the case when people start throwing out ideas on how the NCAA should change the way it operates. I also like the idea that it came from the right place. For all the talk that we as sportswriters, bloggers and the media in general make about changing college athletics, it was cool that this came from someone on the ground floor. A guy in the trenches, who spent almost all of his adulthood around NCAA athletics. For lack of a better term, someone who knows what they're talking about.
In hindsight, Rodriguez's idea apparently didn't seem so crazy, since on Thursday, a man Rodriguez knows well, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany made a similar suggestion. He told reporters he'd be interested in seeing a full athletic scholarship "cover the full cost of attendance," beyond just room board and books. Like Rich Rod, he believes it should include some travel expenses and flexibility for food and clothing etc. As Delany said, "Forty years ago, you had a scholarship plus $15 a month laundry money. Today, you have the same scholarship, but not with the $15 laundry money." Good point.
Obviously right now this is just all talk, and for anything like this to take place, there'd be quite a few loopholes to jump through. For a scholarship increase to happen for a single conference like the Big Ten, it would need approval from representatives of every conference, something that just isn't going to happen. I don't think it's a stretch to say that Delany probably knew that when he made the statement.
But even if Delany is blowing smoke to a degree, at least he's being progressive and thinking a bit outside the box. Which is more than most of his contemporaries can say.
Starting from the beginning, and starting with the most obvious "call for reform," I'm sorry, but we're not paying any college athletes any time soon. You've obviously heard the reasons why, but most of them have to do with law and legislation. Essentially if you pay men you have to women, if you pay scholarship athletes you've got to pay non-scholarship ones, and if Ohio State pays it's athletes then Eastern Tennessee Tech has to do it too. Again, as romantic as the idea of paying college athletes sounds, the reality just isn't there.
But to increase some scholarship money? It seems feasible, at least in a few conferences, namely Delany's Big Ten, the Pac-12, ACC and SEC.
For starters, those are the conferences that seem to have the money to do it. You remember the Pac-12 signing a TV contract a few weeks ago that's bigger than theGDP of most South American countries, and will pay their member schools over $20 million a year, right? That number is right around what the Big Ten's schools make, with the SEC coming in at $17 million a year and the ACC $13 million. And incredibly, that's just TV revenue, and has nothing to do with licensing money, ticket sales or donations. In other words, there's a lot of money flowing around these college athletic departments right now.
To which I've got to ask: Are you happy with where the money is going right now? Are you satisfied that AD's get five and sometimes six figure bonuses for doing next to nothing (These numbers are closely guarded, but just for example, Tennessee Athletics Director Mike Hamilton has a $300,000 retention bonus that kicks in, simply if he keeps his job until 2014. It doesn't matter how his teams perform, if they're in trouble with the NCAA or whether or not they win titles. Only that he has his job in 2014. Huh?)? Are you happy that a coach makes millions a year just to get a team to 6-6 and some lousy bowl game? We all know the money is going to the wrong places right now. Is it the worst thing in the world to put a little more cash in the pockets of the actual revenue producers?
Now obviously the big thing that everyone will object to is the idea that some conferences (Big Ten, Pac-12) have the ability to expand their scholarships while others don't. Simply put, it's a huge competitive disadvantage for all these small schools in Conference USA and the Mountain West if the Big Ten adds a couple grand to each scholarship, right?
Well, I don't see it.
Anyone who follows college sports knows that no matter how much we talk about tradition, facilities and everything else, only one thing matters to a recruit: Can a coaching staff get the kid to the next level. That alone is sadly the overriding factor in most of these college decisions.
Think about it. Have you ever wondered why Terrelle Pryor chose to go to Ohio State, even though his skill-set so clearly suited him better for Rich Rodriguez's offense at Michigan? It's because he believed that Ohio State would best prepare him for the next level. It's the same reason why a pro-style quarterback like Matt Barkley would never play for Chip Kelly, and why Trent Richardson chose Alabama instead of Florida. Those systems suited them best. I doubt a couple thousand dollars in scholarship money would've swayed them one way or the other. Especially when there are a millions more to be made on the back end.
Besides, it's not like in the current system where all scholarships are equal, kids are tripping over themselves to go play at small schools when a big school offers. I read a lot of recruiting stuff every February and don't once recall a kid saying, "You know, Mack Brown and Texas wanted me really bad, but there was just something about Eastern Michigan that I just couldn't say no to." Whatever intrinsic advantages big schools have they're always going to have. After all, the reason that a guy like Andy Dalton ended up at TCU isn't because he was swayed by the beauty of Ft. Worth. It's because according to Rivals.com his only other scholarship offer was from UTEP. It's not like the entire Big XII and SEC were knocking down his door and begging him to come to their schools. Same with Kellen Moore, Case Keenum and all the other guys who end up at non-AQ schools.
Ultimately though, as was mentioned before, this is all just talk for now. If anything, if a proposal like this were ever to go through, it would need a lot of approval from a lot of people who don't seem keen on approving it…namely the small-conference commissioners. I can't blame them for that.
And obviously, even a slight bump scholarship money does little to absolve the other big problems in college football. It won't stop boosters from giving out $100 handshakes or stop a kid from accepting them, free cars, free tattoos or whatever else. Not to mention that if we've learned anything in the tragic deaths of Alabama's Aaron Douglas and Austin Box of Oklahoma in the last week, it's that maybe the biggest problem that no one has a total grasp on is illicit drug use. How much is going on really is anyone's guess right now.
Still though, those are big picture problems that might be solved in time, and might not be. In some cases- especially with drug testing- it'll take major overhaul all the way from the top with the NCAA.
As for more scholarship money, that can be addressed, and addressed right now. As for whether anything happens or not remains to be seen.
But at least Jim Delany is trying to do something.
It may all be smoke, but still. Credit him for that.

Somali-Americans Worry About How They Will Support Their Families Abroad
By Ross Reynolds & Matthew Streib • Aug 8, 2014
Ross Reynolds talks with Degan Ali, executive director of the African charity and development agency, Adeso, about the difficulties Somali-Americans face when sending money to their homelands.
Somalia doesn't have any banks, so transfers are more informal. American banks are increasingly refusing to facilitate the transfers for fear that money will go to the terrorist group, al-Shabaab. But 40 percent of the Somali economy relies on money transfers, which supports people suffering from famine and the fallout of war.

Benjamin Harrison
Aug. 20, 1833
North Bend
Hamilton County
Ohio, USA
Mar. 13, 1901
Marion County
Indiana, USA
American Civil War Union Brevet Brigadier General, US Senator and US President. A member of the Republican Party, he served as the 23rd US President from March 1889 until March 1893. His paternal ancestors immigrated from England to the colony of Jamestown, Virginia in 1630. Born the second of eight children, his father served in the US House of Representatives from Ohio and his grandfather, William Henry Harrison, served briefly as the 9th US President. His great-grandfather, Benjamin Harrison V, was governor of Virginia and signer of the Declaration of Independence. His parents were not wealthy and he received his elementary education in a one-room schoolhouse near his home and later received instructions by a tutor to help him with college preparatory studies. In 1847 he enrolled at Farmer's College near Cincinnati, Ohio and in 1850 he transferred to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, graduating in 1852. He then took up the study of law as a legal apprentice in the Cincinnati law office of Storer & Gwynne. On October 20, 2853 he married Caroline Lavinia Scott. While working on his law studies, he returned to live on his father's farm and after completion, he moved to Indianapolis, Indiana in 1854. He was admitted to the bar and began practicing law in the office of John H. Ray. Growing up, he favored the policies of the Whig Party but in 1856 he joined the newly formed Republican Party and campaigned for Republican presidential candidate John C. Frémont. That same year he was elected at the Indianapolis city attorney and two years later he into a law partnership with William Wallace and they opened their office called Wallace & Harrison. In 1860 he successfully ran as the Republican candidate for reporter of the Indiana Supreme Court. He was an active supporter of his party's platform, and served as Republican State Committee Secretary. In 1862, after the outbreak of the American Civil War, he raised a regiment of volunteers for the Union Army and was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant. That August he was promoted by Indiana Governor Oliver P. Morton to the rank of colonel, and his regiment was commissioned as the 70th Indiana Infantry. For much of its first two years, the 70th Indiana performed reconnaissance duty and guarded railroads in Kentucky and Tennessee. In 1864 his regiment joined General William T. Sherman's Atlanta Campaign and moved to the front lines and in January of that year, he was promoted to command the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the 20th Corps. He saw action with the 1st Brigade at the Battles of Resaca, Cassville, New Hope Church, Lost Mountain, Kennesaw Mountain, Marietta, Peachtree Creek and Atlanta. When Sherman's main force began its March to the Sea, his brigade was transferred to the District of Etowah and participated in the Battle of Nashville. In January 1865 President Abraham Lincoln nominated him to the grade of brevet brigadier general of volunteers, confirmed by the US Senate the following month. He rode in the Grand Review in Washington DC before mustering out of the US Army in June 1865. He then returned to his position as reporter of the Indiana Supreme Court (he had been re-elected in October 1864) and in 1872 he campaigned unsuccessfully of the Republican nomination for governor of Indiana. In 1876 he became the Republican nominee for Indiana governor but was defeated in the general election. When the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 reached Indianapolis, he helped to mediate between the workers and management and to preserve public order. In 1878, upon the death of Indiana Senator Oliver P. Morton, he ran for the seat but was defeated by the Democrat Daniel W. Voorhees. In 1879 President Rutherford B. Hayes appointed him to the Mississippi River Commission, which worked to develop internal improvements on the river. The following year, as a delegate to the 1880 Republican National Convention, he was instrumental in breaking a deadlock on candidates, and James A. Garfield won the nomination. HE was elected to the US Senate in 1880 and served for one term, from March 1881 until March 1887. While in the Senate, he chaired the Committee on Transportation Routes to the Seaboard and the Committee on Territories. In 1886 he was defeated in his bid for re-election to the US Senate and returned to his law practice. At the 1888 Republican National Convention, his name was submitted as the presidential nominee. After placing 4th on the first few ballots, supporters of the previous Republican nominee, James G. Blaine, threw their support behind Harrison and he was nominated by a wide margin on the 8th ballot and Levi P. Morton of New York was selected as his running mate. His opponent was the Democratic incumbent President Grover Cleveland. With a high voter turnout (nearly 80 percent), he received 90,000 fewer popular votes that Cleveland but won the Electoral College by 233 to 168. His major accomplishments while in office include the McKinley Tariff, which imposed historic protective trade rates, the Sherman Antitrust Act, and the creation of the National Forests through an amendment to the Land Revision Act of 1891. He also substantially strengthened and modernized the Navy, and conducted an active foreign policy. He quickly saw the enactment of the Dependent and Disability Pension Act in 1890, a cause he had championed while in Congress. He proposed, in vain, federal education funding as well as voting rights enforcement for African Americans during his administration. During his administration, what is considered the last Native American battle of the 19th century, Wounded Knee in South Dakota, was fought on December 29, 1890 that ended in a massacre of Sioux women and children by elements of the US 7th Cavalry. His general policy on Native Americans was to encourage assimilation into white society and, despite the massacre, he believed the policy to have been generally successful. This policy, known as the allotment system and embodied in the Dawes Act, was favored by liberal reformers at the time, but eventually proved detrimental to Native Americans as they sold most of their land at low prices to white speculators. In 1892 he ran as the Republican candidate for US President against former President Grover Cleveland. The treasury surplus had dissipated and the tariff revisions of the past four years had made imported goods so expensive that now many voters shifted to the reform position. Many westerners, traditionally Republican voters, defected to the new Populist Party candidate, James Weaver, who promised free silver, generous veterans' pensions, and an eight-hour work day. During this time, Harrison's wife Caroline began a critical struggle with tuberculosis and two weeks before the election, she succumbed to the disease. Cleveland easily won the presidential election in both the popular and electoral votes. After leaving the presidential office, he lived briefly in San Francisco, California where he gave lectures at Stanford University in Stanford, California. From July 1895 until his death he served on the Board of Trustees of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. In 1896 he remarried, to Mary Scott Lord Dimmick, the widowed 37-year-old niece and former secretary of his deceased wife. He declined to run again for the presidency and gave his support to the Republican nominee, William McKinley in 1897. In 1899 he attended the First Peace Conference at The Hague, Netherlands. In 1900 he served as an attorney for the Republic of Venezuela in their British Guiana boundary dispute with England. After an international trial at Paris, France, in which he filed an 800-page brief, he lost the case but his legal arguments won him international renown. After contracting influenza, he died from pneumonia at his home at the age of 67. A statue in his honor was erected at University Park in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 1942 a Liberty Ship, the SS Benjamin Harrison, was named in his honor. In 1903 the US Army post Fort Benjamin Harrison, located in Lawrence, Indiana was established in his honor. It was closed as part of the 1991 Base Realignment and Closure Commission. Harrison Hall, a dormitory at Purdue University is also named in his honor. His son, Russell Benjamin Harrison, was a US diplomat and later an Indiana politician. He was the last US President to sport a full beard.

ABSTRACT: Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract that includes both Crohn disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis. Abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, diarrhea, and weight loss characterize both CD and ulcerative colitis. The incidence of IBD in the United States is 70 to 150 cases per 100,000 individuals and, as with other autoimmune diseases, is on the rise. CD can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus and frequently will include perianal disease. The first description connecting regional enteritis with perianal disease was by Bissell et al in 1934, and since that time perianal disease has become a recognized entity and an important consideration in the diagnosis and treatment of CD. Perianal Crohn disease (PCD) is defined as inflammation at or near the anus, including tags, fissures, fistulae, abscesses, or stenosis. The symptoms of PCD include pain, itching, bleeding, purulent discharge, and incontinence of stool. In this report, we review and discuss the etiology, diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of PCD.

This section lists the commencement orders yet to be applied to the whole Act. These effects are included in this view as they may be (but won't necessarily be) relevant to the specific provision that you are viewing.

If you are viewing a prospective version or there is a prospective version available there may be commencement orders listed here that are relevant to the provision you are viewing.
Commencement Orders bringing legislation that affects this Act into force:
(1)Where an election is made under this section [F1before 1st January 1994] and accepted by the Board, the market value for the purposes of the Oil Taxation Acts of any light gases to which the election applies shall be determined, not in accordance with paragraphs 2, 2A and 3 of Schedule 3 to the principal Act (value under a notional contract), but by reference to a price formula specified in the election; and, in relation to any such light gases, any reference to market value in any other provision of the Oil Taxation Acts shall be construed accordingly.
(2)No election may be made under this section in respect of light gases which are "ethane" as defined in subsection (6)(a) of section 134 of the M1Finance Act 1982 (alternative valuation of ethane used for petrochemical purposes) if the principal purpose for which the gases are being or are to be used is that specified in subsection (2)(b) of the said section 134 (use for petrochemical purposes).
(3)Subject to subsection (4) below, an election under this section applies only to light gases—
(a)which, during the period covered by the election, are either disposed of otherwise than in sales at arm's length or relevantly appropriated; and
(b)which are not subject to fractionation between the time at which they are so disposed of or appropriated and the time at which they are applied or used for the purposes specified in the election.
(4)In any case where,—
(a)at a time during the period covered by an election, a market value falls to be determined for light gases to which subsection (4)(b) or (5)(d) of section 2 of the principal Act applies (oil stocks at the end of chargeable periods), and
(b)after the expiry of the chargeable period in question, the light gases are disposed of or appropriated as mentioned in subsection (3) above,
the market value of those light gases at the time referred to in paragraph (a) above shall be determined as if they were gases to which the election applies.
(5)Schedule 18 to the M2Finance Act 1982 (which applies to elections under section 134 of that Act relating to ethane used or to be used for petrochemical purposes) shall have effect for supplementing this section but subject to the modifications in Schedule 21 to this Act (in which "the 1982 Schedule" means the said Schedule 18).
(6)This section shall be construed as one with Part I of the principal Act and in this section—
(a)"light gases" means oil consisting of gas of which the largest component by volume over any chargeable period is methane or ethane or a combination of those gases and which—
(i)results from the fractionation of gas before it is disposed of or appropriated as mentioned in subsection (3)(a) above, or
(ii)before being so disposed of or appropriated, is not subjected to initial treatment or is subjected to initial treatment which does not include fractionation;
(b)"the principal Act" means the M3Oil Taxation Act 1975; and
(c)"the Oil Taxation Acts" means Part I of the principal Act and any enactment which is to be construed as one with that Part.
(7)In this section "fractionation" means the treatment of gas in order to separate gas of one or more kinds as mentioned in paragraph 2A(3) of Schedule 3 to the principal Act; and for the purposes of subsection (6)(a) above,—
(a)the proportion of methane, ethane or a combination of the two in any gas shall be determined at a temperature of 15[2B]dgC and at a pressure of one atmosphere; and
(b)any component other than methane, ethane or liquified petroleum gas shall be disregarded.

5 Things Rocky Taught Me About Writing Knockout Main Characters
by Shannon Haislip writing at Positive Writer
I have a friend who, for some reason, cannot stand Sylvester Stallone. Sly has never met my friend, never done a thing to him, but my friend is a film afficianado who think that Stallone's movies are a blight on the landscape of film. We've had this discussion before a few times, and I usually let him speak, then my rebuttal is simple.
Stallone wrote Rocky.
Shannon Haislip sat done and watched all the Rocky movies and wrote this excellent post about her observations. My favorite one is her number one tip – Let Your Character Get Beaten – a Lot. Great advice!

Aloisson -- the ultimate (million dollar) cell phone
Combining both the luxury of the Vertu and the state-of-the-art technology of modern mobiles is a tiny European operation run by Austrian marketing manager-turned master craftsman, Peter Aloisson. CNN reports.
"Rather than create his own handset, Aloisson has for the past few years been taking existing phones and customizing them with jewels and precious metals into Midas-touched replicas of their former selves.
"I knew that mobile phones would become part of daily life, and as with all things that are part of daily life, such as watches or tie pins, there should be luxury versions of them," he told CNN.
Aloisson currently produces about three phones per year, depending on orders from his celebrity and wealthy clients, mostly retailing for in excess of U.S.$30,000.
The Vienna-based craftsman says he is now working on a cell phone that could claim the "ultimate" crown for good -- a special order for a German manufacturer that will cost in excess of U.S.$1 million.
"It will feature solid gold parts with an exterior covered with 2,590 natural blue diamonds, some of the rarest jewels on Earth," he said.
Although the phone is being constructed for marketing purposes, it will eventually be sold off, no doubt creating the world's ultimate phone bill. "

A search for "pizza pasta salad" found 7 recipes here at RZ & I'm surprised this hasn't been reviewed - esp since it resembles a "loaded" pizza more than the others. I added canned mushrooms, made a day ahead so all the flavors would blend & it was excellent. Thx.
Is it strange that I look for recipes simply to use up aging spices? I had made up a batch of Recipe #433232 (which I apparently never reviewed) for a recipe I no longer make. This was easy and tasty. I was a bit short on mozzarella cheese. I used sliced jarred kalamata olives instead of the can of olives.
Just made this for my lunch tomorrow. Very tasty! I did add a bit of Splenda just to sweeten the dressing a little. Great pasta salad, though! Easy to add or leave stuff out to your own taste.
