In that respect, they weren't any different than the 90 or so other prospects likely too short, a step slow or just not good enough for the NFL. So how did two of the biggest names in high school football in 2003 find themselves here, among so many no-names, as long shots to make it in the NFL? "We're guys that came out and were pretty high-profile guys out of high school," Freeman said. "It's kind of 'what have we done lately?' " Freeman, Reid and Grand Prairie's Rhett Bomar were the Texas high school quarterbacks among the 12 quarterbacks invited to the EA Sports Elite 11 Quarterback Camp in 2003. They had arms to thrill and their pick of colleges. The future was theirs. But Freeman and Reid had parallel college careers that ended in injury and disappointment at different schools than where they started. Neither is likely to be drafted next weekend, though they both still have NFL dreams. "I think, not to try to be an apologist for recruiting, but it's definitely not an exact science and never will be, no different than the NFL Draft," said recruiting analyst Bobby Burton, editor of rivals.com. "Both of those guys have talent probably today like they did coming out, but for whatever reason, it didn't work out for them." Freeman was a dual-threat quarterback, playing under his father, Steve, in Brownwood. He passed for 2,941 yards and threw 24 touchdowns his last two seasons, while rushing for 2,091 yards and 32 touchdowns. He chose the University of Miami, picking the Hurricanes for one big reason. "The year I went out to Miami, they sent six in the first round [of the NFL Draft]," Freeman said. "I was thinking, 'If I'm going to live the dream and play in the NFL, this is where I need to go.' Five offensive coordinators later ..." Freeman transferred to Baylor for his final season, and he began the 2008 season as the Bears' starter. But he completed only 4 of 11 passes for 31 yards and two interceptions in the opener against Wake Forest and was pulled for freshman Robert Griffin. Freeman broke his foot the next week and never played again as Griffin's stock rose. Freeman's college stats are not pretty: 98-of-210 (46.7 percent) for 1,360 yards with 13 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. "I'm not sure it turned out exactly as he had hoped," Baylor coach Art Briles said. "But he had some bright moments, too. He was MVP of a bowl game and did some nice things there at Miami. It's just unfortunate it didn't work out for him here at Baylor. But Kirby is a top QB. I think he'll have a chance to play at the next level if somebody will give him that opportunity." Freeman has no regrets. He met his fiancée in Miami, earned his degree from there, was named MVP of the 2006 MPC Computers Bowl in Larry Coker's final game and came off the bench to rally the Hurricanes to a comeback victory over rival Florida State in 2007. "I'm completely satisfied," Freeman said. "I gave it everything I had. I hadn't ever been in the right place at the right time. Yet. I keep hoping and praying that maybe this is it. Maybe this is the right time and the right place for me to do something. We will see." Freeman considered calling his playing career quits. He eventually wants to follow his father into coaching. But a chat with Briles convinced Freeman that he might regret not giving the NFL a try. So that's how he found himself renewing acquaintances with Reid six years later on a football field miles from the Elite 11 camp. Several small-school prospects whispered their names, as if they were Hall of Famers. "I'm just a shadow now," Reid said, half-joking. Reid, like Freeman, was a dual-threat quarterback in high school. He had 2,650 combined yards his senior season, passing for 22 touchdowns and rushing for 16 while leading Galena Park North Shore to a 15-0 record and the Class 5A state championship. He was tabbed the next Vince Young. He chose Oklahoma State, but his first two seasons were marred by injury and a change in head coaches from Les Miles to Mike Gundy. Reid threw for 411 yards and five touchdowns in a 2006 game against Kansas, breaking Gundy's school record for most yards in a game. But the next week, against Texas A&M, Reid suffered a concussion and Zac Robinson came off the bench and threw three touchdowns. Still, Reid completed 55.4 percent of his passes and threw 24 touchdown passes in 2006 in becoming a semifinalist for the Davey O'Brien Award. The next season, it happened all over again. In a Week 2 game against Florida Atlantic, Reid injured his ankle and knee, and Robinson came off the bench to throw three touchdowns. When Robinson was named the starter, an Oklahoman columnist questioned Reid's attitude and toughness in detailing the reasons Reid lost his job. Gundy went into a rant that now has been viewed almost 800,000 times on YouTube. "Come after me! I'm a man! I'm 40!" Gundy screamed at columnist Jenni Carlson. Reid said he no longer cringes at the video, though he admits it still upsets his girlfriend. In three seasons playing at OSU, Reid completed 226 of 424 passes (53.3 percent) for 3,143 yards with 27 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. "No regrets about anything," said Reid, who redshirted as a freshman. "I wish the situation with me would have went a different way. That's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. I'm here to erase all that and just move forward in my career." Reid left Oklahoma State — with his degree — after the 2007 season and declared for the NFL Draft. But, after second thoughts, Reid returned to his hometown for one last college season. Reid vowed to turn around Texas Southern, which had gone 0-11 in 2007. "There were a few things I needed to get straight before taking that leap into the real world," Reid said. Reid was 148-of-261 (56.7 percent) for 1,791 yards, with 12 touchdowns and six interceptions last season before tearing a knee ligament. The Tigers were 4-5 in the games Reid started and finished; they went 0-3 without him. "He didn't come in here carrying a chip on his shoulder or anything," Texas Southern coach Johnnie Cole said. "He came in here to help. He really showed that he wanted to come in and help make us a winner. I think if he had stayed healthy, I think we would have won two or three more games than we did." Cole is convinced Reid can play in the NFL. Reid is too. Freeman shares that same confidence in himself. It's just like old times. After their workout for NFL scouts, Reid and Freeman shook hands and promised to keep in touch. They don't want anyone wondering: Where is he now? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 Elite 11 In 2003, EA Sports chose 12 quarterbacks for its Elite 11 Quarterback Camp.

House, Senate leaders appoint lawmakers to commission to study funding for state bridge maintenance
PROVIDENCE – Speaker of the House Gordon D. Fox and President of the Senate M. Teresa Paiva Weed announced their appointments to the Special Legislative Commission to Study the Funding for Bridges today.
Senate members of the commission will include Senate Finance Chairman Daniel Da Ponte (D-Dist. 14, East Providence) and Senators Louis P. DiPalma (D-Dist. 12, Middletown, Little Compton, Newport, Tiverton) and Christopher S. Ottiano (R-Dist.11, Portsmouth, Bristol). House members will include House Finance Chairman Helio Melo (D-Dist. 64, East Providence), and Representatives John G. Edwards (D-Dist. 70, Portsmouth, Tiverton) and Antonio Giarrusso (R-Dist. 30, East Greenwich, West Greenwich).
The three remaining members of the special legislative commission will be the Department of Transportation Director Michael Lewis, or a designee; Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) Executive Director Buddy Croft, or a designee; and Department of Administration Director Richard Licht, or a designee.
Last year, the General Assembly approved a provision in the budget transferring the ownership of the Sakonnet River Bridge, which connects Tiverton and Portsmouth, to RITBA so that a toll could be placed on the bridge. Since then, a majority of the East Bay delegation and members of their communities have been vying for an equitable alternative to the tolls in order to maintain the area's infrastructure and protect Aquidneck Island businesses.
Legislation approved this year calls for the creation of the special legislative commission, which will allow lawmakers and officials from the affected state departments and agencies to come together for six months and map out various funding plans, potentially eradicating the need for a Sakonnet Bridge toll. The special legislative panel will not only study ways to fund East Bay bridges, but also seek a funding mechanism for all state bridges. The commission is required to report its findings to the General Assembly on or before Jan. 15, 2014.
Additionally, RITBA will have the authority to implement a 10-cent toll on the Sakonnet River Bridge in August so it can preserve future tolling options for the bridge while the commission works to find alternatives. The 10-cent toll cap will be in effect until April 1, 2014.
KeywordsSakonnet River Bridge, tolls
Combine RIBTA and RIDOT into one streamlined road and bridge authority. The nation's smallest state doesn't ned two agencies

As a student-athlete, it is important to plan ahead and consider your academic courses not only for the current term, but also for the year and your four years. One of the key ingredients for success as a student-athlete is balancing your course load. Use the 4-year planning document, available in the ASC, to map out when you want to take your major courses, your distributive courses, and any other requirements.
Whether you are in or out of season, you should try to schedule your courses in such a way that creates balance. For example, try to avoid taking three large introductory courses or three courses from one discipline. One good strategy is to take at least one smaller course each term, one course in your major area, and one course that satisfies a distributive requirement.
In season athletes should consider the amount of travel required for their sport. For example, if your sport requires that you miss several Fridays for travel, try to select courses that meet on Tues and Thurs or early on Friday mornings. Another strategy is to meet with winter term course professors at the end of fall term and ask if being absent for the number of contests you have will be a problem in taking the course.
Student-athletes who are first year students, intend to major in pre-med or engineering, or are undecided about majors should utilize the following resources when selecting courses:

Pervious pavement is a design alternative that allows water to percolate through the pavement structure and into underlying soils—an achievement that directly conflicts with even lecture on traditional pavement design delivered in universities across the country. Yet this unconventional approach, used in some regions for the past 25 years, is proving to be successful in meeting stormwater management challenges and regulations. Across the nation, more developers are proposing porous pavement, and the resulting benefits are reason enough for public works officials to take a closer look at its use.
Benefits of porous pavement include decreased hydroplaning and glare, increased visibility and traction, and elimination of a stormwater collection system and detention basin area. This pavement technology is approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a best management practice, and has been proven to reduce the rate of runoff and levels of associated pollutants in addition to increasing the ground water recharge rate.
These benefits are achieved with the use of an innovative design. Pervious pavement, also referred to as porous or permeable pavement, is actually a system consisting of an open-graded surface layer of concrete, asphalt, or pavers, typically placed over an open-graded aggregate base layer. The pavement structure has a large percentage of void spaces allowing water to permeate through the surface and base at a rate comparable to that of a grass lawn. Depending on the stormwater collection needs of a particular design, water reaching the base is either allowed to seep into the subgrade or is collected in a system of perforated pipes lying within the open-graded base and then conveyed to a discharge point.
Although the cost to build a porous pavement may initially seem to be more than that of a traditional pavement, this added cost is offset by the savings resulting from the elimination of a stormwater collection system and detention basin.
Pervious pavement can be used for roadway construction, subdivision development, and public or private site development. Past installations indicate that applications across the country have been primarily in the construction of parking lots. However, this method also has been extended successfully to sidewalks, bike paths, and playground surfaces. Applications not suited for porous pavement are areas subjected to high traffic volumes or speeds. The California Stormwater Best Management Practice Handbook states that this pavement type "should be limited to highways with low traffic volumes, axle loads, and speeds (less than 30 mph); car parking areas; and other lightly trafficked or non-trafficked areas."
Although permeable pavers have been used to construct roads in subdivisions in several areas of the country, the use of porous pavement for roadway construction has not been overwhelmingly adopted by a large number of communities, most likely due to traffic volume and speed constraints. In cold weather regions, this hesitation could also be related to concerns over performance during freeze-thaw cycles.
In May 2004, the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) released a report, "Freeze-Thaw Resistance of Pervious Concrete," which offers recommendations for use of pervious concrete in areas experiencing cycles of freezing and thawing. This report groups cold weather regions into three types and offers guidelines for construction of pervious concrete for each.
Dry freeze and hard dry freeze—With little precipitation throughout the winter, these areas experience 15 or more freeze-thaw cycles in a year and are typically located in the higher elevations of the western United States. The use of pervious concrete pavement in these areas is acceptable provided the concrete is placed over a 4- to 8-inch thick layer of clean aggregate base.
Wet freeze—This group describes areas experiencing precipitation throughout the winter accompanied by 15 or more freeze-thaw cycles—typically located in the eastern United States. Again, pervious pavement can be used in these locations provided the concrete is placed over a 4- to 8-inch thick layer of clean aggregate base.
Hard wet freeze— Areas in this group experience below freezing temperatures for an extended length of time causing the ground to remain continuously frozen throughout much of winter. In order to successfully implement a pervious concrete pavement system in these areas, the report recommends placement of an 8- to 24-inch layer of clean aggregate base below the concrete, addition of an air-entraining admixture to the pervious pavement mix, and a perforated pipe system in the base to carry water away from the pavement.


text: Newly Discovered Artifacts at Patriarch Randall McCoy's Home in Rural Hardy, Kentucky, Uncover Clues About Infamous McCoy and Hatfield 1888 Showdown 2013 Marks the 125 th Anniversary of the Legendary Hatfield-McCoy New Year's Day Massacre "Diggers: Hatfields & McCoys" premieres Tuesday, January 29, at 10 PM ET/PT WASHINGTON, Dec. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The home of Randall McCoy, the patriarch of the famed McCoy family, and the site of the deadly 1888 New Year's Day showdown between the Hatfields and the McCoys, and 125-year-old artifacts from that feud have been uncovered in rural Kentucky. The discovery was made by the Diggers team shooting an episode of the National Geographic Channel series and confirmed by Kim McBride, co-director of the Kentucky Archaeological Survey (jointly administered by the University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology and the Kentucky Heritage Council). This site, located on private property in rural Hardy, Ky., had long been speculated to be the McCoy's land and the site of the final family feud. Remains of the cabin where the family lived and artifacts from the site where the most famous feud in American history went down, however, had never been uncovered … until now! The new National Geographic Channel series Diggers premieres Tuesday, January 1, 2013, with back-to-back episodes at 10 and 10:30 PM ET/PT. The episode detailing the McCoy homestead discovery airs on Tuesday, January 29, 2013, at 10 PM. Diggers hosts, amateur scientists, vocational metal detector enthusiasts and history buffs George "KG" Wyant and Tim "Ringy" Saylor, first discovered what they thought were clear signs that finally proved the McCoy home was on the property and that this was the site of the final Hatfield-McCoy standoff, which helped to end at least a decade of family fighting. Conferring with the private landowners and working with Diggers staff archaeologist Kate Culpepper and local historian Bill Richardson, the team pinpointed the location of the home and discovered charred wooden board remains, as well as specific items from the home, including possible parts from a stove, nails and a plow blade fragment. After they found the burned wood and artifacts, Wyant and Saylor followed protocol agreed on with the archaeology community at the start of the series production and called in McBride to verify the find. The team screened shovel test units and recorded the site with the Kentucky Office of State Archaeology, to ensure that the site was protected and the find was legitimate.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL
we use a few different methods to open new windows to display dynamically generated PDF's... target="_blank" and window.open
and got a message from a user that stated he refuses to "cripple" his computer to allow popups from our site...
what in the hell has this world come to... "oh my god.. popups.... shut down, shut down..." chill teh f*** out... its not the end of the world...
im tired of all these technophoic users who think that every little piece of the web that they dont understand is a monster....
you pop up haters need to get back..
Uninvited pop-ups are no different to a total stranger poking his head through your window and asking you buy his cr*p.
If you like that, fine, but I and many others, reserve the right to reach for a 14lb sledge hammer. Or the technological equivalent.
If you want happy visitors who will (presumably) give you money, then it's time you considered their tastes, regardless of how anti-social your tastes may be.
As it happens, I deal with many sites that use pop-ups for legitimate business purposes, and they have all been set up to provide their services without abusing me.
You need to learn better ways of indulging your obsession - without scaring away customers.
It's entirely possible, I promise you.
thats like me going to the Verizon site which i pay for services on a monthly basis and saying... "oh no, verizon has pop ups, they are up to something evil"...
ridiculous. the pop up is to display a dynamic PDF for the viewer to print and/or read without having to completley leave our site or hit the back button.
how is that crippling his computer?
I advise clients to include a small notice next to the click-point (will display in a second window) so as not to surprise the new visitor, and let them know that they may need to approve the new window depending on their pop-up blocking apps.

got a message from a user that stated he refuses to "cripple" his computer to allow popups from our site...
Fuggedaboutit ;)
IMO someone that blocks every popup, even from sites they use frequently, is going to end up frustrated soon enough and reconsider.
IMO, your complainant is a customer service issue - he needs to be convinced that this popup is of use to him.
tell me one good reason to block pop ups from a legitimate website of a company that you pay on a monthly basis for our services...
Some people just lump popups as "bad" and have them all blocked. You need to weigh if your current setup is worth that risk.
thats like me going to the Verizon site which i pay for services on a monthly basis and saying... "oh no, verizon has pop ups, they are up to something evil"...
I'm confused here...are you trying to convince us that popups are great? It really doesn't matter what my opinion is...or yours for that matter. The only opinion that matters are your visitors.
ridiculous. the pop up is to display a dynamic PDF for the viewer to print and/or read without having to completley leave our site or hit the back button.
I've seen sites do it both ways. Neither bother me much, but people are used to hitting the back button. Most people will prefer to not add another tab or browser to view a page. In some cases though, this is unavoidable.
how is that crippling his computer?
Obviously it's not. But people will lump good popups in with the majority of bad ones...even I cringe a little when sites use window.open.
Either ignore his advice or do something about it, but trying to convince us that he's crazy doesn't make a lot of sense. Do what you think is best for the majority of your customers...the important thing to find out is if he's part of the majority or just an outlier.
[edited by: StoutFiles at 11:25 pm (utc) on Dec. 2, 2008]
no i wasnt trying to convice you pop ups were good or bad...
i was trying to convey that a customer claimed that he had to "cripple" his computer to get the information he needed from out site and it was a ridiculous claim.
my verizon point was, why would this person think we want them to "cripple" their computer when they pay a state wide company for services we provide... uhhh yeah thats our mission to have everyone disable pop ups so we can infultrate your systems.
i just get tired of people taking technology waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to seriously... LIKE TYPING IN CAPS... big deal... if you can actually hear me shouting you have a deeper issue.
i will in fact take into consideration all aspects of this issue, but the majority will remain in tact. and considering this is the only actual compaint we have received in 2 years, he might be SOOL
That's the reality of the web, and we all (users and webmasters alike) have to deal with it. Designing a site that depends on popups to function correctly is, pure and simply, designing a site that won't function for many people: just like ignoring web standards and coding for the Internet-Explorer-bugset-du-jour, or coding a site that won't work without gratuitous Flash navigation.
The other reality of the net is: surfers see a lot of sites that were designed to work on the webmaster's machine, rather than on the net. Most of the time we just blow them off: very rarely do we bother to tell the webmaster why his site isn't worth the trouble of figuring out whether it's worth the trouble of modifying the security that we're comfortable with.
My recommendation is to climb off of your high horse, recognize that by forcing people to turn popups on you're enabling the advertising scum of the internet to harass your visitors even after they've left your site, and redesign the site so it doesn't require popups.
Or, if that's too much work, at least warn your visitors up front that the site won't work without popups, so surfers can leave quickly without getting frustrated.
There are lots of good sites that work fine without popups. The many surfers who don't like them can probably get along fine without them--and without your site. And they have that choice.
But, for that matter, you can probably get along fine without 20% of your potential visitors. And YOU have THAT choice.
So I don't see your media presentations and half of your menus and Google analytics doesn't track me very well (it's scary how many sites use GA). And most of the time I don't even notice if there's a popup. Many sites have all these little areas that I have to click on if I want to see whatever advertisement is supposed to go there - and trust me, I don't bother.
In some very rare occassions I will allow a popup or turn on javascript. Most times though I just shrug and leave the site. I know that's harsh and out of the ordinary, but it's what I do. I can and do take my money elsewhere.
I don't disagree that getting all excited about typing in caps is a bit of a funny thing to be offended about, but people do. They actually react to caps as if you're shouting. They *feel* you shouting.
Pop-up blockers were developed and added to browsers for a reason. They are annoying as hell. While your site might be 'legitimate' and use them the correct way, other sites which 'look' to be 'legitimate' abuse them in numerous ways often times making it nearly impossible to close them all.
I keep pop-ups blocked. I choose when to temporarily enable them on a case by case basis when I notice the browser has blocked a pop-up.
As far as the guy having to 'cripple' his machine, I think I'd tell him to get a new machine or find an internet cafe when he needs to do business with you.
The lay user encounters the worst kind of annoying pop-ups on a more frequent basis, has less of an understanding of "good neighborhoods" and "bad neighborhoods" and lacks the tools or experience to control the pop-ups they will encounter.
We have to make up for that by being extra sensitive* about how we use pop-ups (and even inline pop-ups since some users won't make the distinction).
*Forgive me for using the word sensitive, if you're :::ahem:: sensitive about that word. ;)
PS: to the OP, ALL CAPS POSTS are very annoying to others however, and when I see one of those, I just disregard it, as I feel it's more difficult to read and I assume the poster is some egoistical guy who thinks his post is more important than others or some tech newbie who can't figure out how to use the caps lock key. In either case, not worth reading.
About crippling his computer - his language is strong but his sentiment is right on the money. If using your site would require him to disable his popup blocker then it does mean he is degrading his browsing system just because of your poor UI.
The worst popups of all are those embedded within Flash. Flash designers need to realise that 100% of popups launched from Flash are blocked, and in most instances to see them would require allowing popups for the entire domain (not just allowing through the one instance this one time).
Do you guys consider links with target="_blank" to be pop up windows too?
As for making informational pop-ups more friendly to the advanced use who prefers to have javascript turned off, I find that this code helps:
link
The link still works in a "same window" fashion if javascript is turned off.
In Firefox it just opens a new tab which is even better.
Glad I don't have your crabby visitors!

Absolution Granted! World Rejoices! Grumpy Forgives Gardening Goofs!
For nearly a week now, a nearly unbearable burden has been weighing heavily on those faithful readers of the Grumpy Gardener. Who fessed up to making stupid gardening goofs this year? Who of them would Grumpy forgive?
Let's begin with Pat T, who could not figure out why her beautiful perennial coneflowers, like the one above, never came back. Then she realized that the newly sprouting leaves and stems in spring looked like weeds to her and she'd been pulling them up! "Don't judge," she writes. "I am a relatively new gardener." Well, Pat, newness is not an excuse and the Grump will judge. His verdict — you are forgiven.
Now let's examine the egregious case of UrsulaV, who admits she "carries the greatest burden of guilt." She bought four rare and endangered Tennessee coneflowers (Echinacea tennesseensis), and in "a misguided effort ot save the world, I planted them." Unbelievable. What possessed her?
But wait — it gets worse. When rabbits started eating them, she dumped used cat litter around the base of the plants to discourage the savage rodents. Then it poured rain.The dissolved ammonia killed off anything the rabbits hadn't and the flower beds smelled like cat pee. Rare plants became even rarer that day. Still, Grumpy grants you mercy. The coneflowers won't.
Some readers are judged more harshly than others, because they really ought to know better. Such is the stultifying example of Henry H, who works in the green industry. "Sprinkling Miracle-Gro around some flowers instead of mixing it with water is not such a good idea," he admits. "Only killed about 20% of the impatiens I had planted, but I can't laugh anymore when my customers ask if they can do it."
Obviously, Henry, you're one of those "do-as-I-say" people and not a "do-as-I-do." It's nice to know that so many beginning gardeners can count on you for sage and accurate advice. Then again, everybody makes mistakes. And as long as long as you promise to learn from yours and never tell customers the wrong thing again, your case is dismissed.
Next on the docket — a grievous horticultural offense more common than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wearing a Speedo. Becky writes, "One day, I was spraying both Deer-Off and Roundup. At the end of the day, I decided to do one last round of Deer-Off, but, yes, you guessed it, I grabbed the Roundup. I spent 30 minutes spraying nearly everything in the garden."
Fortunately, she quickly realized her mistake and hosed off all of her plants before they could absorb the herbicide. In the future, she resolves to wear glasses while spraying. Grumpy thinks that's a good idea, but adds that spraying your entire garden with Roundup is actually very effective in keeping deer from eating it. Becky is granted absolution.
Case #5. Julian Chandler "murdered" geraniums, scaevola, ferns, and a dead nettle by planting them all in the wrong places. But the Grumps asks, "How much grief can I give you for having a dead dead nettle?" Dismissed.
Case #6. Carolyn planted elaeagnus (a plant Grumpy loathes) and it's taking over. Linda ignored wisteria and it's smothering everything too. Jim admits he let an airhead 20-something intern talk him into making his garden so large that he's a slave to plants. Jim, Jim, Jim. Should I wire you $8 million from Nigeria?
Well, it's Friday morning and I'm off to Tanzania with 30 of my closest friends to spray-paint a sleeping rhinoceros. I'll be back soon, but in the meatime I thought you might enjoy hearing Grumpy fess up to his own disastrous advice. A lady called here to say the leaves of her azaleas were developing chlorosis (yellow with green veins), because her soil wasn't acid enough. I told her one way to acidify her soil without using chemicals was to pour leftover coffee around the roots.
I had no idea she'd use hot coffee.

Charles DeCarr III gets life sentence for statutory sodomy, sexual exploitation
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A Columbia man was sentenced to life in prison after he pleaded guilty to statutory sodomy and child pornography charges.
Investigators say Charles DeCarr III, 40, sent child porn to suspects in Ohio in Nov. 2012. They also believe he personally took the photographs himself.
Two children, ages 2 and 5, were in the photos and ABC 17 News has learned they are DeCarr's children. The children were taken into protective custody following DeCarr's 2012 arrest.
On Nov. 27, 2013, DeCarr pleaded guilty to five counts, including statutory sodomy and sexual exploitation of a minor child.
During sentencing, Boone County Prosecutor Dan Knight requested three life sentences for DeCarr, while defense attorneys have asked for a 35-year sentence.
DeCarr received a life sentence plus 20 years for the crimes.

Battle of I-10 will be minus opposing cheerleaders again
EL PASO, Texas - The basketball version of the Battle of I-10 dates back to 1914.
For the most part, cheerleaders from both UTEP and New Mexico State have always been there, no matter where it was played.
The Miners travel to Las Cruces Friday to face the Aggies in a game marking the 100th year of the storied rivalry. But just like last year, UTEP's cheerleaders will not be in attendance. And next weekend, when the Aggies come to El Paso, their cheerleaders won't make the trip either.
It's been one of the most-heated basketball rivalries in the country for the past century. But last year, a decades-long tradition came to an end. Cheerleaders from UTEP didn't travel to Las Cruces and cheerleaders from New Mexico State didn't travel to El Paso. It's all because of a recent agreement between the squad's coaches.
ABC-7 spoke with UTEP cheerleading coach David Vasquez. He said the problem is with space at the Don Haskins Center. Vasquez said his team is about 30 cheerleaders strong, which leaves limited room for the Aggie cheerleaders.
"The problem is here not there," Vasquez said. "They can accommodate us there, but we can't accommodate them here. We can't give a whole side of the court to them. Because of that, we decided it would be more fair if we didn't travel to each others' games."
Jessica Covington is the head cheerleading coach at New Mexico State.
"We're actually very friendly programs to each other," Covington said. "It's just unfortunate we aren't able to supply adequate space for both teams. If we don't supply adequate space for one group it's only fair we don't supply it for both groups."
Despite there being space at the Pan Am Center, UTEP's cheerleaders won't be there on Friday ... nor anytime soon.
"It is unfortunate," she said. "We would love to be able to go down there and have UTEP come down here. Hopefully in the future we'll be able to find an agreement so that both teams receive accommodations."
ABC-7 did speak by text with UTEP athletic director Bob Stull about the situation this week. He said the agreement is up to the cheer squads and coaches.
Fans ABC-7 spoke with from both schools said they hope something can be worked out soon -- if not in time for this year's battle of I-10 series -- than by next year's meetings.

Jones, Gransberry Named Co-MVP's
By USF

TAMPA The University of South Florida men's basketball team announced its team award winners for the 2007-08 campaign at the program's annual banquet, hosted by the Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club Monday evening.
Senior center Kentrell Gransberry and freshman guard Dominique Jones shared the John & Cynthia Ruzic USF Most Valuable Player award as a total of seven Bulls were recognized with awards during the banquet.
"This year and this team laid a foundation for our future," said USF head coach Stan Heath. "The work ethic, the ability to continue to fight and persevere during the season was very evident. They continued to push. I think our seniors, Kentrell (Gransberry), Eddie (Lovett) and Mohamed (Esseghir) all contributed in different ways. We really appreciate their efforts and are supportive of their future endeavors. USF is grateful for their effort."
Gransberry was named to the All-BIG EAST First Team while Jones earned All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention accolades and was also a unanimous selection on the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team.
Gransberry is the first USF player to earn first team honors in the three years the Bulls have been in the BIG EAST. The Baton Rouge, La., native averaged a double-double for the season at 16.0 points per game and 10.8 rebounds and led the BIG EAST in rebounding for the second straight season.
He will go down in history as arguably the greatest rebounder in USF history and one of the top in BIG EAST conference play. Despite playing just one and a half seasons at USF, the 6-9, 270-pound post man ended his career with 588 rebounds in 53 games. He averaged 11.1 rebounds per game for his career, crushing the all-time USF per game average of 9.9, held by Gary Alexander (1989, 1991-92).
Gransberry also earned the Chairman of the Boards Award and the Richard K. and Roslyn K. Wittcoff Endowed Scholarship.
Jones earned All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention accolades and was also a unanimous selection on the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team. Jones is USF's third All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention selection and the first Bull named to the All-Rookie team.
Jones had one of the best freshman seasons in USF history. He led the team in scoring at 17.1 points per game and his scoring average jumped to 18.2 in conference play, the best of any freshman and third best in the league. Jones shattered the USF freshman scoring mark by tallying 531 points on the year. The previous freshman record was 455 set by B.B. Waldon during the 1998-99 season. He also became the first freshman in USF history, and only the third USF player ever, to score 30 or more points in back-to-back games. He was the first BIG EAST freshman in 13 years to score 30 or more points in consecutive games. The last BIG EAST freshman to accomplish it was Georgetown's Allen Iverson in December of 1994.
Jones also earned the Wittcoff Family Endowed Scholarship. The endowments the Wittcoff's have provided will permanently represent the University's competitive spirit and commitment to excellence in NCAA Division I basketball.
Chris Howard was tabbed USF's Defensive Player of the Year. The third year sophomore played his first complete season after multiple injuries and in addition to running the team, was often relied upon to guard the other team's best offensive guard. Nearly all of his statistical numbers improved from his freshman campaign and he led the team with 4.8 assists per game, 6th in the BIG EAST.
Junior forward Mobolaji Ajayi won the Most Improved Player award. In his first year at the Division I level, Ajayi really came on at the end of the season averaging 5.3 points and 6.5 rebounds over the last 10 games, all starts.
Solomon Bozeman claimed the Free Throw Award for the second straight season as the squad's top performer from the charity stripe. He converted on 86.0 percent of his free throw opportunities.
Junior Jesus Verdejo captured the Academic Award and the Bill Jones Scholarship Award, given to the player that best exemplifies the qualities of Bill Jones. Jones was a donor and a season ticket holder for men's basketball who lost a courageous battle with cancer. His qualities included leadership, determination, a fighting spirit, courage and passion. Verdejo finished the season as the 3rd leading scorer on the team at 10.7 per game, appearing in 30 games on the year with 29 starts.
Senior Eddie Lovett received the Bull Pride Award, which recognizes the player who best exemplifies the responsibilities associated with being a student-athlete at USF, both on and off the court. Lovett, a three year member of the team, graduated in December with a Communications degree.

America's Hikaru Nakamura, the world No4, beat Israel's Boris Gelfand in the final of the London Classic last weekend to strengthen his claims as a serious contender for the global crown. The €150,000 event at Olympia attracted large audiences and highlighted the positives of rapid chess as against the slower classical format.
Rapid is half an hour per player per game, a move rate which produces generally expert play mixed in with the odd blunder. It is fast enough to keep spectators hooked, yet sufficiently spaced for grandmaster and computer commentators to explain what is happening.
Nakamura, 26, succeeded because years of speed play on the internet have given him fast reflexes and a pragmatic style full of resourceful tricks. These skills served him well in his semi-final when he looked doomed against Vlad Kramnik but bamboozled the Russian into defeat with mazy tactics.
Michael Adams, the England No1, reached the semi-finals before going out to the unusual trap featured in this week's puzzle. The young UK hopes Gawain Jones and David Howell had their moments and Howell spoilt several winning positions.
It was Vishy Anand's first event since he lost his world title to the 23-year-old Magnus Carlsen but the 44-year-old Indian's revival was brutally demolished when Kramnik crushed him in 27 moves. The game looked symmetrical and equal until 15 Ne4?! (0-0) gave Kramnik the chance for the energetic pawn pushes f5! and a5! The final touch was 23...b4! (not Rc2 Qxb5) which won a bishop. Anand still tried to trap the black rook, but he was knocked out by Qh4! when 28 g3 Bxg3! and 28 h3 Qg5! are both winning for Black.

Adams had a fine tournament until the puzzle blunder below. In his quarter-final against Peter Svidler, he countered a routine Sicilian with the rare regroup Nh2-g4 to challenge Black's knight control of the key central d5 square. The seven-time Russian champion underestimated the danger, and his casual Nc5?, when a waiting move would have kept the game level, left him to choose between a pawn down and a wrecked king's side. Adams wrapped up the win and Svidler resigned early rather than wait for White's queen's side pawn push.
