After a month-long layoff, the CIF champions were back at it this week, gearing up for a season where they'll be in an unfamiliar position. That position, for the first time in 43 years, is at the top of the hill, because that's where the Crescenta Valley Falcon football team resides as kings.
After a dominant 2014 season, when the Falcons captured their first CIF championship since 1972, the team will look to continue success against a schedule that looks the same as last year.
The Falcons open up on the road against Verdugo Hills on Sept. 3. It will be the third straight season the teams square off. Crescenta Valley won the first two matchups handily.
For the second straight season, CV will face Golden Valley, and the last non-league game will once again be played against La Cañada, the annual Gordy Warnock Memorial Game. The Falcons have won seven consecutive non-league games.
While the Falcons finish off the season on Nov. 5 against rival Arcadia, the interesting part of the schedule will most likely come against the Burbank-area schools. Burbank High comes to Moyse Field on Sept. 25. The teams played one of the most memorable games in recent history in 2013, a high-scoring overtime thriller won by the Falcons at their homecoming game.
Last year, Burbank's star running back James Williams was injured, and CV won a hard-fought game 24-10. This year, the Bulldogs will have to find a replacement for Williams and quarterback Ryan Meredith, who both graduated.
Burroughs is often called the most well-coached team in the Pacific League by CV Coach Paul Schilling. The Indians went 6-4 last year, good for fourth place in league, and lost to CV 48-21. The teams play again in the season's penultimate game on Oct. 30.
The Muir Mustangs have long-dominated the league, but last year CV defeated them at Muir, 38-26, on the road to claiming its first league title since 2004. Muir (6-5 overall last season) is expected to have a down year, at least by its standards. Earlier this summer, Schilling called them a wild card, not knowing what to expect from either them or the other Pasadena team, the Bulldogs.
Crescenta Valley, which has won 15 games in a row dating back to 2013, is looking to replace quarterback Brian Gadsby, running back Jonathan Jun, and receivers Connor Van Ginkle and Chase Walker, all of whom played pivotal offensive roles last season. On defense, they'll have to replace lineman Davo Hakobyan, Matt Erickson and Jordan Lobianco, who was named 2014 Pacific League MVP.
Currently, junior Ty Hill and senior Evan Nelson are battling for the starting quarterback position. Senior Bostin Lakin was a great two-way player last year. Look for him to contribute in the same way as well. The team is also looking for Colin Caver (tight end, linebacker) and Brandon Beardt (running back, defensive back) to be key contributors as well.

> Fire and Rescue
The mission of Bradley County Fire - Rescue is to serve the citizen and businesses of Bradley County by protecting life, property and the environment, from hazards and dangers of fire and manmade or natural disasters, through prevention, education, and timely incident responses.
The Bradley County Fire-Rescue was chartered in 1958 and was the primary fire and rescue service for Bradley County. In the early 1970's, the Cleveland Fire Department became an all-career agency at which time they were contracted to provide fire protection to Bradley County in 1977. The rescue service of the original Bradley County Fire-Rescue continued to provide rescue services to Bradley County and Cleveland, including vehicle extrication, water rescue, and recovery operations.
The move toward the merger of these departments began in July 2005 when the county hired its first full-time firefighters and added an eighth station in the Rescue Service Building on Inman Street.
The benefits of this merger include communication. Fire and Rescue will now be dispatched by the same communications operator and operate on the same radio frequency regardless of emergency. Better service is another benefit. Instead of two separate units responding to the same incident, a unified command will ensure a quicker and better response.
The Chief for Rescue and Special Operations for BCFR is Troy Maney. Steve Riggs and Donald Tankersley are Battalion Chiefs for the seven outlying county fire stations. These gentlemen are volunteers and donate countless hours in service to our community and I would like to thank them for their service.
With 20 years experience in law enforcement, fire and rescue, Dewey Woody is Chief of the newly merged BCFR. Woody has been Bradley County´s full-time Fire Chief for the past six years and is responsible for the county´s bomb and arson investigation.
BCFR is considered a combination paid and volunteer department. The paid staff includes Chief Woody, Administrative Assistant Paula Garner and Fire Inspector. The 12 additional paid personnel staff a fire engine in 24-hour shifts making it a four-person engine company to respond anywhere in the county at all times.
The most important resource yet to be mentioned is the some 120 volunteers that we rely heavily on to complete the daily mission of BCFR. These men and women take much time from their personal lives to train and prepare themselves for emergencies throughout our community. They also are prepared to respond 24 hours a day to emergencies such as car crashes, water emergencies, structure or brush fires, hazardous materials incidents or natural and manmade disasters.
In recent years, the department was awarded a federal grant allowing for the replacement of all air packs. The department was also able to add an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) to every first response vehicle. Additionally, thermal imaging cameras were added to the fleet of equipment.
The department is fortunate to have state-of-the-art tools, technology and training making it one of the most well-equipped and prepared agencies in East Tennessee.

Husband-and-wife gothic country duo Carey Kemper and Kelly Bell issued albums for much of the early '90s under the Shivers moniker. Since Kemper and Bell were essentially nomads -- they lived in an RV and home-schooled their two children -- their albums would be recorded during brief stops on their walkabout. Their self-titled debut effort appeared on the Minneapolis imprint Restless in 1994. It was a low-key, sometimes gloomy mixture of folk, roots, and country. Vocal duties were split between Kemper and Bell. Buried Life appeared in 1996; however, nothing more was heard from the Shivers, and both their Restless releases were out of print by the early 2000s. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi

Jigme Norbu
I'd like to call a pause in my usual ranting about publishers, agents, editors, writing and books to comment on the death of a very good man.
Several years ago I was driving through West Virginia coming home from a visit with my aging mother. It was an overcast day, cold and rainy, and I was speeding up the side of a mountain. There were no other cars in sight. Up ahead, I noticed two people wearing cardboard signs walking at the side of the road. My first thoughts were how rare it was to see anyone walking along the road, my second was to wonder if they had hiked up the entire length of this extremely long and steep incline and my third was what the hell were the signs going to say. As I blew past them at 75 miles per hour I read Walk For Tibet.
At that speed one can go some distance while the brain processes an anomaly like this one. I'm a guy who, once started on a long drive, will go to any lengths to not stop or divert from my path, but this was so unusual I decided to go back and see what it was about. Remember, this was West Virginia, not Berkley, California. It took awhile, but I finally came to an exit, got myself turned around and then turned around again so I could pull off to the side of the road.
Jigme Norbu and Wangchuk Dorjee told me they were walking across a large chunk of the United States to draw attention to the plight of Tibet. We didn't spend much time on politics as I was aware of Tibet's woes with the Chinese. I talked to them about how hard the walk must be, but both were cheerful and completely upbeat. Norbu put a little camera on the trunk of my car and took a picture of the three of us, his arm around my shoulder.
There are small and large moments in life that ring true and clear. Sometimes we notice them, sometimes we don't; this was one of those moments for me. I asked if I could contribute to the cause, he said sure, I retrieved my wallet from the car, found I had one lone twenty dollar bill, which I gave to him. I also found a bag of pepperoni rolls, a West Virginia specialty and my road-food of choice, which I also gave to him. He cheerfully accepted and made appreciative comments about the rolls.
Just as there are certain moments of truth, there are certain people we run across who embody those truths. Jigme was one of them. If I were a younger man, I would have happily asked for a little help from these two, pushed my car over the edge of the cliff and joined them on their trek. I didn't, of course. As I drove away I looked at them in my rear view mirror; they were headed down the hill, Wangchuk gaily swinging the bag of pepperoni rolls. That night I went on Jigme's website where he was chronicling his walk and found the picture of the three of us and a short note of thanks for "the West Virginia bread."
By then I realized that they couldn't have eaten the rolls as surely they were vegetarians, but part of me hoped they could have at least nibbled away the exterior and left the pepperoni along the trail for the wild animals. I fired off a donation check to help them with their cause and put the experience down on my life list of unexpected moments of grace, sure that Jigme would walk on an on until his country and his people were free.
Yesterday I read that Jigme had been struck and killed by a car while walking down the highway in the dark in Florida. It shouldn't have surprised me -- walking in the dark on the edge of a highway can be dangerous -- but it did. And the depth of sadness that struck me also surprised me. After all, I had known, if known is the right word, the man for only a few passing moments. But there was something about him, that something that I am struggling to describe, that is rare, that we seldom come in contact with in our ordinary lives. This is the part where, if it were a better story than it is, I would announce that I have thrown off the shackles of my mundane life and was headed out to walk beside the highway with a Free Tibet sign. But I'm not. That's not my path. There are other Jigmes out there walking hard roads for good causes, and I salute them. It is not in me to give up the pepperoni in the roll. I can only say the world was a better place with Jigme Norbu and his friends in it, and a sadder place without him.
Walk on, Jigme, walk on.

Sometimes that is all you need. What makes a friend a friend, or what allows us to connect to other human beings a little or a lot, is often recognizing or understanding commonalities - either in experiences, personality, background or aspects of ones lives that you can relate to, respect, admire, understand or 'get' them pretty quickly. You were able to fill in enough blanks about Jigme from your brief encounter, and about who he was and what he was doing, that his untimely death was all the more sad. Thanks for sharing.

Arkansas Supreme Court Rejects Nancy Todd's Casino MeasureMeasure Would Have Brought Four Casinos To Arkansas |
A measure that would have brought four casinos to Arkansas has been rejected by the state's Supreme Court after it was ruled that the proposal's language failed to properly inform voters, according to the Associate Press.
Poker player Nancy Todd's constitutional amendment would have given Las Vegas-based Poker Palace LLC exclusive rights to own and operate casinos in Franklin, Crittenden, Pulaski and Miller County.
Todd's proposal collected the required 78,133 signatures, but was rejected by officials following a recommendation from Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel, who claimed language in the measure was too vague and insufficient. McDaniel stated that the proposal failed to inform voters that the law could repeal existing electronic gambling within the state.
Todd revised her piece of legislation and then filed a lawsuit to get it placed on the November ballot, but the Supreme Court ruled that her signatures were invalid because they were gathered before making the necessary changes to the bill's language.
Arkansas currently only offers gambling in the form of parimutuel wagering at various dog and horse racing tracks. Those in favor of Todd's measure, as well as a competing measure by businessman Michael Wasserman, have pointed out the millions of dollars that exit the state each year due to neighboring states with casinos, such as Missouri, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Louisiana.

Irish Football > Irish Players > Eamon Dunphy |
Eamon Dunphy - Irish FootballerEamon Dunphy Former Irish international soccer player Eamon Dunphy, from Drumcondra in Dublin, Ireland, was discovered as a schoolboy by the famous Manchester United football scout, Billy Behan. Behan also discovered other Irish players such as John Giles, Kevin Moran, and Paul McGrath amongst others. Having played for both Dublin and the Ireland under-15's he came to Billy Behan's attention and was invited over to Old Trafford for a trial. This was a dream come true for the young Eamon Dunphy who had watched the 'Busby Babes' in 1957 destroy Shamrock Rovers 6-0 in Dublin in the European Cup. Dunphy signed for Manchester United in 1962. In those days Old Trafford competition for places in the team was fierce and the young Dunphy found it impossible to make an impact and couldn't make it into the first team. In 1965 the midfielder left Old Trafford and signed for York City. Eamon Dunphy's Football CareerIn August 1965 Eamon Dunphy signed for York City in the former Third Division for £4,000. He only made 22 appearances for York scoring three goals during his time with the club. Eamonn Dunphy at Millwall FCIn January 1966 Dunphy signed for Millwall FC for a transfer fee of £8,000 and made his debut against Workington on the 28th January 1966. Although he had a reputation for avoiding the rough and tumble of the game Eamon Dunphy was a favourite with the Millwall fans because of his inventive and skilful play in midfield. He often found the incisive pass to open up stubborn opposition in tight matches. During his career at Millwall Eamonn Dunphy played for the club on 303 occasions - eight as substitute - and he scored 25 goals. Also in his time at Millwall he won 23 international caps for the Republic of Ireland thus making Eamon Dunphy the most capped international to have ever played for Millwall FC. Eamon Dunphy at Charlton Athletic & Reading FCIn December 1973 Dunphy transferred to Charlton athletic for a transfer fee of £20,000. He played 44 times for Charlton and scored three goals during his time with the club. The club also won promotion to the old Second Division while Dunphy was with Charlton. Eamonn Dunphy's last English football club was Reading FC. He joined Reading in 1975 and went on to play for the club 77 times and scored three goals. For the third time in his career he won promotion with his club in the 1976-77 season. Eamon Dunphy - Republic of Ireland CareerEamon Dunphy won 23 caps for the Republic of Ireland senior international team. He did not manage to score any goals while wearing the Irish jersey. He won his first senior cap on the 10th November 1965 against Spain in a 1966 Word Cup qualification play-off match at a neutral venue. Spain beat Ireland 1-0 in Paris. During his international playing career he only tasted victory twice, against Turkey and Czechoslovakia (as it was then). His playing record with Ireland is: Won 2; Drew 5; Lost 16. Eamon Dunphy's last match in the green of Ireland was a 4-1 defeat to Austria in a 1972 European Nations Cup qualifier. Eamon Dunphy Makes League of Ireland DebutIn 1977 Johnny Giles returned to Ireland following a highly successful football career in England with Leeds United as a player and with West Brom as a manager. He returned to manage Shamrock Rovers with a grand plan to establish Rovers as the dominant team in Ireland and as a force in European soccer. Giles made Rovers the full-time set up in the League of Ireland and he appointed two qualified player coaches, Ray Treacy and Eamon Dunphy. Dunphy helped to coach the Rovers youth players. Unfortunately for all involved and the fans of Shamrock Rovers Giles' and Dunphy's ambitions were not realised. After three years of trying all they had to show for their efforts was an FAI cup victory - a 1-0 win over Sligo Rovers on 30th April 1978. This was Eamon Dunphy's one and only winners medal in senior football and although he went on to play in two European Cup Winners Cup ties he soon quit football to concentrate on journalism. The disappointed and disillusioned Dunphy claims that he has never been to a League of Ireland ground since then and he gave his FAI Cup winners medal the person that helped him to secure his National Union of Journalists (NUJ) card.

Empirical macromodels under test: a comparative simulation study of the employment effects of a revenue neutral cut in social security contributions
In the paper we simulate a revenue-neutral cut in the social security contribution rate using five different types of macro- / microeconomic models, namely two models based on time-series data where the labour market is modelled basically demand oriented, two models of the class of computable equilibrium models which are supply oriented and finally a firm specific model for international tax burden comparisons. Our primary interest is in the employment effects the models predict due to the cut in the contribution rate. It turns out that qualitatively all models considered predict an increase in employment three years after the cut. But the employment effects differ considerably in magnitude, which follows immediately from the different behavioral assumptions underlying the different models.

Fan Friday 8-17
Posted by on August 17, 2012 – 12:01 pmPreseason game number two this evening, and great news with Eric Wood and Erik Pears to play about 10 snaps tonight. Let's get to your questions from email@example.com and @ChrisBrownBills on twitter.
1 – I haven't heard any updates on David Clowney and how he's performed in camp. Is there a chance he doesn't make the roster? His size and speed is intriguing, but it seems like he hasn't been able to put it all together for whatever reason with his former teams. Do you think Buffalo has the system that could allow him to utilize his talents? Or do you think he was brought in as an extra body for camp, and that the coaching staff is hoping his game finally fully clicks?
keep up the good work,
CB: Clowney has made some plays here and there, but has run strictly with the second team offense. He's found it difficult to crack the first team lineup. Right now he's the seventh or eighth receiver in terms of the reps he's seen in practice.
Yes, he does have intriguing speed, but he's been outperformed by the other speed receiver on the roster in rookie T.J. Graham. He's definitely on the bubble and will have to turn in some plays in the preseason games that remain to improve his chances.
2 – Hi Chris:
I have heard it said that T.J. Graham is not a Roscoe Parish remake. But can you explain why he is not simply another Roscoe?
Rick, Portville N.Y.
CB: He's not a Roscoe clone because he's a bit bigger in stature at 5'11" and 188 pounds. He's that wiry kind of strong and he's capable of lining up outside and make plays on the boundary. Parrish was strictly a slot receiver.
I've been impressed with how Graham has progressed and shown an ability to get off press coverage, something I was admittedly worried about going into training camp when the pads went on. But he's fared well and made plays. Roscoe relied purely on his speed to create separation because he wasn't strong enough to get off of the jam. I don't believe that will be the case with Graham.
There's more to his game than that.
3 – Hello Chris,
After the draft a lot of the draft analyst was talking about Tank Carder and what a deal he was.. but after the draft I have not heard anything about him what's the deal with him and is he a good player?
CB: Carder is currently running as the third-string middle linebacker in Buffalo's defense. Head coach Chan Gailey characterized his training camp as 'Okay.' Gailey said where Carder has to improve is with mental errors. He's not alone in the linebacking corps as there are a lot of young players at that position that are still trying to master the defense.
Coverage assignments seem to be the biggest hurdle for a lot of the young LBs.
4 – Hey Chris,
One thing that we have been getting better at and need improvement still is the frequency of penalties in critical downs. Do the coaches work on this, and is there more emphasis on this during training camp? I know the offensive line was pretty good last year at staying put until the ball was snapped and some of the offenders for holding are no longer with the team. Can you elaborate on this and the last few years stats on our improvement. What do we expect out of our rookies coming out of a college to a Pro regime?
Thanks again for your tight coverage of our Bills!
Best Regards,
Jim In Tennessee
CB: The Bills were 5th best in the league last season for penalties assessed (fewest). Under Chan Gailey the team has been pretty good in this area. That's due in part to the fact that Coach Gailey detests unforced errors like false starts. There were a few too many in the first preseason game, but I would expect it to get cleaned up by the time the regular season rolls around.
5 – Chris,
What can you tell us about Scott McKillop? We know that he played under Dave Wannstedt at Pitt where he was an All-American and selected as Big East Defensive Player of the Year. After being selected in the 5th round, of the 2009 draft, by the 49'ers he appears to have had some success at Middle Linebacker while backing up TKO and Patrick Willis before being injured and then released. Is he likely to make the final roster behind Shep?
Go Bills!
Ed Nicholson
Season Ticketholder
CB: I can tell you he's a very instinctive linebacker that has a strong knowledge of the game. He had an impressive first preseason game against Washington and was the team's leading tackler. Even Coach Gailey said he's making a strong run at making the squad. I feel the same way. I believe he'll be the team's backup MLB and a feature special teams player this season as long as he stays healthy.

International architects Denton Corker Marshall have been granted planning approval for another new major court building in the UK - the proposed new Magistrates' Court in Birmingham. The practice was recently nominated for the RIBA Stirling Prize with their Manchester Civil Justice Centre.
The proposed Birmingham Magistrates' Court's design is comprised of 24 court rooms plus ancillary accommodation for staff, judiciary, witnesses, defendants, legal professionals and members of the public totalling approximately 20,600 sq m over 13 levels. The 24 courtrooms will be located on levels one to six with four courtrooms per floor. General administration and the judicial accommodation will be located on the upper four floors of the building. These will wrap around a central internal atrium to create a dynamic and interactive working environment.
Describing the design, Director Barrie Marshall commented:
"The building is closed in a single curvilinear silver metal 'gown' from ground to roof level. Into this surface, a series of irregular horizontal slotted and stepped cut-outs provide daylight to courtrooms and public consultation areas. At court level translucent white glass-clad boxes containing consultation and magistrates' retiring rooms cantilever beyond the curvilinear surface reflecting the rectilinear nature of the internal planning and offering a more complex external reading of the building form.
"We wanted to give it an expressive and special character, so by creating a singular sculptural curved form that is perforated and punctuated, it becomes a more civic gesture in the company of the commercial and residential buildings that surround it."
The new building will be located close to the city centre and will provide a landmark within the Masshouse Masterplan. The new court building is required to replace the existing Magistrates' Court accommodation within the Victoria Law Courts (VLC) and it is intended that construction will commence before the end of 2009. The VLC is a Grade 1 listed building that will be retained by Her Majesty's Courts Service (HMCS) and refurbished through a separate project once the new building has been completed.

Ahead of their Halloween appearance at Ministry of Sound this Friday, we caught up with the guys from Cosmic Gate for a pre-set chat
Hi guys, how are you doing today?
Thank you, yes! We are in good spirit and shape, looking forward to being back in London with you guys on Friday.
Your last appearance at Ministry of Sound was in March, what is your best recollection of the night?
We always have a blast to play Ministry, it's like coming home to see the family! So it was in March? The end of the night turns out to be a bit blurry in our memory, how did that happen?!
This Friday sees The Gallery's Halloween spectacular, what makes this night so unique for a party?
Halloween nights always have this special extra on top, clubbers in crazy, scary or sexy costumes to add some extra craziness - perfect for a party and a dark room like Ministry!
What is your advice on choosing the best fancy dress costume?
As said before, be scary, sexy or maybe both.
What's the scariest thing that has ever happened to you whilst DJing?
Nothing as scary as the typical DJ nightmare. You are in the middle of a set and a record runs out. There is no new track ready to play, but then you fortunately wake up…
Yes we have been very pleased with the response, as it was not a given to us that the album will be received as well from both fans and critics. This is as Start To Feel was not going down the road of EDM mainstream, we did our own thing and created something more melodic and touching at times that – in that the 'drop'basically rules it all! That's why we are more than pleased that our fans still share our taste in music, and obviously were waiting for something different to come.
What new projects have you in the pipeline?
More singles from Start To Feel with fantastic new remixes will be released in the coming months, we will do a mix compilation offering some unreleased and new tracks as well, new productions are in the early stage already too. Basically we will keep busy.
Finally in good old Gallery tradition, use three words to describe your forthcoming set?

^ Giles Deacon. All I can say is kudos to him letting there be a good Givenchy-esque collection this season. :p
ETA: Just curious, where is the blatant copying of Givenchy? After noting that it looked familiar earlier, I realized that the familiariaty that I was seeing was from his eponymous line. I also see Valentino and now that it has been pointed out, I see some Givenchy but I would not call it blatant, nor would I say that the common elements with Givenchy are exclusively Givenchy. ETA 2: Also, I am starting to see common touches in multiple Parisian collections, which usually signifies that the houses are tailoring their collections to trend reports.

The world gets more and more curious.
It is the community reinvestment act and other government nonsense that put subprime and Alt-A paper on bank's and Fannie and Freddie balance sheets that gave us the mess we are in.

Football in the South. Yes it is different than yankee football.
To Keep Their Prime Seats, Fraternities Embrace an Old-Fashioned Rite; Khakis and Bourbon
By HANNAH KARP
Each Sunday, Peyton Alsobrook, a 19-year-old freshman at Auburn University, gets together with his Alpha Tau Omega fraternity brothers to compare notes on the women they take on dates to Saturday football games.
Those who seem bored are eliminated from further consideration, he says, along with any who might talk too much during a close game "because they're from up North or something." As the all-important Alabama game approaches, Mr. Alsobrook says he's narrowed his list of potential dates to four. The winner, he says, will get a coveted ticket to the big game and, beyond that, special treatment that might include candy or even "actual flowers."
As the Southeastern Conference solidifies its place as the most prestigious in college football—it has produced the last three national champions—the profile of its games and the growing scarcity of tickets have taken a toll on some of the most genteel (some might say antiquated) traditions of college football in the deep South. The University of Mississippi has already banned the waving of confederate flags, replaced a mascot that reminds some of a plantation owner and this week told its marching band to stop playing a song that ends with the words "the South will rise again."
This season, another old Southern football tradition has found itself in the crosshairs. Fraternities, which have long been given some of the best seats in the stadium at schools like Auburn, are facing the prospect of losing the privilege. To avoid this, they're taking a page from their fathers and grandfathers before them: Putting on coats and ties and showing up with a date.
The pressure is coming from alumni and other fans who think these tickets aren't being used, or who don't like the way the fraternity members behave. At Alabama last season, where season tickets cost up to $3,250 and the waiting list can take years, alumni were incensed by the empty seats in the student section, even at nationally televised games. At last year's Kentucky game, the school says nearly 30% of the 15,000 student tickets weren't used.
After Auburn's opening home game, Clinton Patterson, a computer-engineering graduate student, complained in a letter to the editor of the Auburn Plainsman that the "frat guys" in the student section "appear to make up the most obnoxiously vocal, occasionally violent and openly inconsiderate part of the student section." He went on to describe how "belligerently drunk" fraternity brothers cursed at their own team and engaged in a pushing match.
These complaints have prompted some schools to put students on notice. Alabama has started scanning student ID cards at the gates and preventing students from buying tickets in the future if they don't use, transfer or donate their seats at least three times a season. Auburn's athletic department recently devised a system in which student organizations, including fraternities, receive "spirit points" for attendance and good behavior, and have to meet quotas to keep their blocks of rows in the student section.
For the fraternities who've long held some of the best seats, and who continue to use this privilege to recruit new members, the best way to ensure that the seats are occupied, and that people at least try to mind their manners, is to encourage their members to scare up dates.
Some fraternities at Auburn say they are "strongly encouraging" their pledges to bring at least one female with them to every game. Short of inviting an entire sorority to sit in the section (which is rumored to have happened on occasion) they say it's the simplest solution.
But for modern frat guys who hail from "generation text," the act of taking a date to a football game doesn't come as naturally as it might have to their fathers.
According to several sophomore members of Auburn's Sigma Nu chapter, the best quality to look for in a date is that she makes a good "babysitter" (read: she will take care of you if you get too drunk). Others say the best dates won't mind doubling as bourbon-transportation vehicles. (Taping a flask to a date's leg is, by many accounts, another age-old Southern football tradition.)
Sam Poteat, a senior in Alpha Gamma Rho who says he usually tries to lock down a date before Wednesday, believes "there are two kinds of girls who don't know about football—the ones who want to learn, and the ones who don't."
Mr. Poteat, a finance major, prefers the former, he says, because it at least gives him something to talk about. Of course, too much football knowledge isn't always a great thing: At a game several years ago, he says, his date surprised him by calling out plays, predicting which way the ball would go and explaining why certain penalties were being called. "It was emasculating," Mr. Poteat recalls. "At a certain point I was asking her, 'What happened there?' "
Women who would be dates say they have their own calculus. Men who might ignore them, abandon them after the game or fail to hug them at touchdowns (another tradition) are to be avoided. Frat guys who get so drunk that they can't make it to the game, pass out during the game or are tossed out by security, can be blacklisted. But Auburn senior Allison DeBerard, who says she's spent entire summers stocking up on cute orange dresses, says that because fraternities control the prime seating and throw the best tailgate parties, many women who love football games have no choice to put up with some less-than-gentlemanlike behavior from their dates. "It happens," she says.
No matter what happens to the tradition, many Southern students, both men and women, say the tradition is worth maintaining. It's a relic of an era in the South when students dressed more formally and football games were accompanied by parties with fine china.
Rebekah Blakeslee, a lawyer in Jackson, Miss., who attended Mississippi, says that for her, the tradition dates back to times of war, when students wore their finest to football games to honor their classmates who were on the battlefield. At the school's recent game against Auburn, she stood in the visitors section in an elegant red coat and gold-hoop earrings while teetering on high-heeled black boots. "My feet are killing me and I hear the chuckles in the back, but I'm gonna stick it out," Ms. Blakeslee said.
"It's a tradition of Southern chivalry," said Mr. Poteat, the finance major. "It's what's always been done. We're trying to build better men."

Political Correctness turns deadly.
Barro on the Great Depression and the impact of fiscal policy.
I invited Robert Barro to be a participant in my second book on the economics of the Great Depression along with Ben Bernanke, Lee Ohanian, Peter Temin and others. He never answered my letter. Such is life on the D list for both me and Kathy Griffin (although I have yet to have plastic surgery). Here Barro talks about lessons of the Great Depression and makes no mention of the gold standard. How odd? Then he goes on to explain what we know about the impact of government spending and how it is measured. This is where we really should pay attention.

Our heroine gets her membership credentials and a good fuck from her BFF.
Glad you could make it. Expect to see me later tonight. Have dinner and then wear this dress down to conference room four at nine PM. Wear nothing under it, except shoes. Come-fuck-me pumps preferred. And stockings if you want, but no pantyhose. Talk to no one while wearing this. This was exciting. The text had come in on my new secret cell phone, which was the first item in the package...Read On

Alone in Berlin, I decide to find company
I had found the bar by searching the Internet. 'A lesbian bar that caters for a mature, sophisticated clientele.' At least that was how I had translated the German. If I was right it sounded less seedy than some and would therefore be safer for me. I'd been working in Berlin for two weeks and although my colleagues were friendly enough I'd had no society outside the office and evenings alone...Read On

I glanced at her tender, soft thighs. The lust to kiss in-between them, to taste her sweetness
I had just started at University, the days were long and hectic. Where are the lectures in this big building? And what's the difference between lectures and tutorials? And a seminar? What the hell does that even mean? I sighed impatiently at the back of the line, waiting to get a photo taken for The I.D Cards. I bit my bottom lip gently, a habit of mine when I got anxiety. I looked around...Read On

Our heroine hears the sales pitch and takes the oath.
"Okay, you want me to help save the world. You've got my attention. But I can't imagine that you aren't just being a bit melodramatic." "Maybe so, Cath. But wait until I put it all in context and make my offer." She had just licked my pussy and given me the best orgasm I'd ever had. Adding that to the weekend at the spa, I owed her a good hearing. For the rest of that evening, and all...Read On

Our heroine is recruited into a secret society of lustful married mothers.
It was a long-held fantasy come true. I was enjoying the kiss of a lifetime with my best friend. She initiated it and it was every bit as exciting, wonderful, marvelous, fantastic, and arousing as it could possibly be. My problem with my husband's infidelity seemed like a distant memory, and not nearly the happiness-ending trauma that it had first seemed. The kiss had to end sometime, though. ...Read On

A painful wrist leads to an interesting encounter
Last December, my husband and I enjoyed our usual Christmas break in Bavaria. I adore it there. Christmas is celebrated the way it should be. There is a air of joy, and Munich, although very busy, is just a very pleasant place to relax and enjoy the festivities. On our return, a Sunday, I had one day to relax before attending a hospital appointment for a consultation with a...Read On

Who hurts the most?
Wednesday In the garden of the house we share there is a small bower of trees which encloses a seat. When she needs to think it is to that seat that she goes; for the quiet and the lack of diversion. I am not allowed there unless she takes me with her. It is her space. I sat in the room overlooking the garden and watched as she walked to her seat in the late evening sun. She is...Read On

A special gift for my wife
It all started a few months ago when we went to the doctor's office and my wife met Dr Miller. One look at Dr Miller and you knew she preferred women. She had very short and neatly trimmed blond hair. She stood about 5'5" and 110 pounds. She carried herself like a man but had just enough femininity to know she was a woman. The cute doctor made my wife stop and notice, and I soon found out why. ...Read On

Anne tries to turn the table on her cheating girlfriend, but things don't go as planned
Amanda's Bar was slowly filling up, as was usual on Fridays. It was a good place to start the weekend. The drinks were both good and affordable, and the music was quiet enough that you could held a conversation without shouting. And, though nobody knew exactly how or why it had happened, the regular crowd was made up mostly of lesbians with the odd gay couple thrown in. It had become...Read On

Will Arya's Fantasy Come True?
There she stood, as radiant as ever. From across the room I could see the sunlight shining through the window and glistening off each strand of Rebel's golden hair. Does she even know I exist? Does she know of the thoughts that run through my head when she turns and smiles? She turns to look my direction, quickly I glance the other way. Did she see me? Oh my, she's coming towards me.. I gasp...Read On

Three young ladies get a sweet surprise
Day two at the Lake blue water study camp started with a warning for the students. No mud fights, and definitely no stripping off each other's clothes. This is not the behaviour of the ladies from our school. "After the chaos that yesterday had descended into it has been decided that Mrs Michaels will accompany you today. There will not be a repeat performance today ladies?" Miss Noefun said....Read On

Claire surrenders fully. But who's really in charge.
Claire's body tensed as she felt the tip of Belinda's tongue press into her anus. Still, she could not entirely believe what was happening; how could another woman want to do such a deviant thing to her? But she was so aroused; so thrilled by Belinda's wickedness. Each nerve ending in her body was on fire as she felt Belinda's wet tongue pushing inside her, wriggling, opening her ring of...Read On

My first year college dorm experiences with my amazing roommate
It was the first day of college. I was unpacking. I noticed my roommate was already moved in. As I briefly wondered who she was she suddenly walked in like she owned the place, and with looks like that she did. Her long curly blond hair just barely touched her perfectly round bum. Her bum was barely covered by her shorts. She was short but a cute short. She is 5'1 with a perfect set of...Read On
