What Would Kennan Say to Obama?Roundup: Historians' Take
tags: Barack Obama, grand strategy, George Kennan
Frank Costigliola is a professor of history at the University of Connecticut and the editor of The Kennan Diaries.
"I don't really even need George Kennan right now," Barack Obama volunteered to David Remnick in a recent interview. Obama got it wrong. He, and we as a nation, do need Mr. Kennan now, as much as at the dawn of the Cold War.
Mr. Kennan's diary and other writings offer timely advice about balancing United States policy in the era after the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and managing Iran. Though Mr. Kennan is most famous for predicting in 1947 that containment would lead to the eventual breakup of the Soviet Union, his strategic thinking ranged far wider.
Whether planning policy at the State Department or writing history at the Institute for Advanced Study, Mr. Kennan stood out as an intellectual who thought otherwise — indeed as a thinker whose thought was often wise. Like the Founders, he believed the wisest foreign policy limited military intervention abroad while affording the broadest scope for hard-headed diplomacy. He saved his most candid advice for his diary, which he kept for 88 years.
Along with the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, Mr. Kennan insisted that the challenge facing the United States was containing not only rival nations and threatening ideologies, but also America's own outsized ambitions and self-righteous assertions of virtue. Both men understood that however loud the claims of American exceptionalism, Americans could escape neither original sin nor its secular manifestation, the will to power....

The New York Times is sure that voters are losing their rights the country over, in essence yelling "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" for voters this year. They have been ballyhooing that voters are being "disenfranchised" all across the country by voting machines and voting law changes -- their biggest worry being ID requirements. The Times points in horror to the continuing effort of the States to nail down who is eligible and a proliferation of new laws assuring that eligibility before casting a ballot claiming this is proof of such "disenfranchisement". Ridiculously, the Times has decided proving you are eligible to vote is a threat to democracy.
Funny how they don't consider people who vote illegally as being any threat to democracy... of course that is because illegal voting benefits the Democrats, their favored party.
In an editorial titled Remember to Vote, Hope It Counts, the Times moans about these new requirements to present IDs at the polls in order to cast a ballot in states such as Ohio, Arizona, Indiana and others.
Michael Waldman, the executive director of the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law, has penned an opinion in today's Times without offering much by way of proof for his contentions. But, he is sure that it is the end of our rights! Well, maybe just the rights of Democrats... his only real concern.
The piece is so filled with assumptions, guesses and wild what-ifs that it boggles the mind. Of course, it is all some grand conspiracy as far as the good director is concerned. It couldn't just be that new conventions, practices and laws will have their glitches and might be in need of adjustment! Mr. Waldman expects perfection the first time out, apparently.
As primaries earlier this year demonstrated, local officials and poll workers are overwhelmed by all the changes -- some of them engineered by mischievous partisans who have passed laws and rules that would block many eligible citizens from voting.
I guess it also couldn't be that people are sick and tired of illegal voting, gerrymandered vote totals and dead people shuffling to the polls in their dusty burial clothes to cast that favored Democratic ballot? No, it MUST be a grand conspiracy of the eeeevil GOP to suppress those poor Democrat's votes.
But, wait. Mr. Waldman tips his hand showing us his real concern.
There is a silent disenfranchisement afoot -- one that could affect hundreds of thousands of voters. That's bad for democracy. In the 2004 presidential election, some states were decided by less than 1 percent of the vote. This year, dozens of Congressional races could be close enough that vote suppression would affect them.
(Bolded emphasis mine)
Ah, there you have it. It never mattered that illegal votes were being cast in the past, but now that elections are being decided by such slim margins, Waldman wants his illegal votes protected!
Conjecture on my part, you say? No, not really.
Looking forward, Congress and state legislatures should spurn partisan attempts to manipulate elections by imposing new voting requirements, like proof of citizenship and identification.
And that isn't the only time he gnashes his teeth and rends his clothes over this terrible thought that it might be a good idea for voters to present some proof that they are eligible to vote in the first place.
In a graphic connected to the story, Waldman mentions ID requirements as a worry or an outright outrage several times. He claims that Ohio, Arizona, Indiana, Florida and many other states are somehow "disenfranchising" voters with this "partisan" mischief.
He also reveals a desire to take away more power from the states and institute overarching Federal voting laws in contravention to our American system.
Taken together, they show just how urgent it is that the country move toward a system of universal voter registration, in which the government takes responsibility to ensure that all citizens are on the rolls, with real protections.
Just another big government, liberal idea, there. Obviously Waldman hopes to have but one, national voting law for him to gerrymander instead of worrying about so many different laws in as many states that his folks have to keep track of in which to gerrymander the vote. Much easier to steal the votes, that-a way, eh Mr. Waldman!
His graphic is filled with fear mongering and guesswork, so much so that it is hard to take it seriously. Here are a few of them:
Under a proposed Ohio law, naturalized citizens who couldn't produce naturalization papers at the polls could not cast regular ballots -- just provisional ones, which are counted only in recounts. This would require these voters to carry documents that cost more than $200. A federal judge recently permanently blocked this discriminatory law.
Boo hoo. Seems to me that a naturalized citizen should take the responsibility to be sure he has all the records he needs to vote. But to Waldman, just showing up should be enough to vote. Who needs to be a legal voter? Who needs to prove anything? Obviously just wanting to vote should be enough. Vote early, vote often!
This year, Hoosiers can't vote unless they show state-issued photo ID's with expiration dates. But up to 10 percent of Americans lack drivers' licenses or accepted alternatives.
Again, shouldn't they take responsibility to be sure they meet requirements if they want their vote cast? Is having a photo ID so out of the question?
In South Dakota, Florida, North Carolina, Texas and other states this year, you can't vote unless your voter registration record precisely matches personal information on some other list -- say, of drivers' licenses. Typos and common glitches could keep up to 20 percent of registrants from voting.
"Could keep up to 20 percent" from voting? Where does that conjecture come from? Maybe it could keep only 2 percent from voting… maybe no percent? It's easy to just say any old number, after all.
New laws impose harsh requirements on voter registration groups and expose them to criminal penalties for harmless mistakes, including errors in collecting forms.
And why does one think such a new requirement has been imposed? Because of Democrats' decades old penchant of rounding up felons, the un-registered, mental patients and long lists of dead people to fill out voters rolls, that's why. And people are sick of it, Mr. Waldman. And, what, exactly, is wrong with trying to make sure voter registrations are legal and above board, anyway?
Since last year, Arizona has required voters to bring a birth certificate or passport to register, and then to bring a different set of government documents to vote. ... no doubt thousands more will be turned away on Election Day
"No doubt thousands more will be turned away"? Pure conjecture and a conjecture based on biased assumptions.
There is no doubt that we have many troubles with our systems of voting. But Waldman's ideas of just forgetting about trying to tighten requirements and to solidify registrations rolls and to allow just any one to cast a ballot whether they can legally do so or not is merely a recipe to continue allowing the kind of Democrat vote fraud that has been going on for decades.
But, then again, that would be his ultimate goal. Looser requirements, no checking for legal votes, and rampant neglect of the law would assist vote fraud far more than otherwise. And obviously the New York Times agrees with Waldman.

"The best thing was probably the players. They were real cool and down-to-earth. DeMarcus Tyler, they call him 'Tank,' he was my host. He's a cool guy."
Roseman had visited Rutgers in December, as the Big East school offered him a scholarship early in the process. How did the two trips compare?
"I liked the NC State visit better," said Roseman. "The players were real cool up there and they let me know how it is."
Roseman led Dunedin (FL) High to a 7-4 record as a senior, as he tallied 72 tackles, 12 sacks, six pass breakups, and two forced fumbles. Standing 6-foot-4, and 240-pounds, he is physically ready to play defensive end as a true freshman and already fully qualified.
With NC State losing starting defensive ends Mario Williams and Manny Lawson, the Wolfpack mentioned he may have a chance to play right away should he ink with them in February.
"They need somebody that can step up and contribute," Roseman said. "That's what they have been telling me. I'd love to play early. It's not the main thing, but if it's there I'd definitely take it."
With offers from Rutgers, South Florida, Auburn, South Carolina, Central Florida, and NC State among others, Roseman has his share of options. He has trips remaining to Auburn (1/13), South Florida (1/20), and South Carolina (1/27), but did hint at the possibility of making a decision after his trip to Auburn.
"I don't know if I'll take all my visits," he said. "I may be ready after that one to Auburn. They are my favorite and after them it's NC State, so after I see what it is like there I can compare it to my North Carolina State visit and make a decision."
What does Roseman like about Auburn?
"I love the coaches, they are real cool. They have been recruiting me since the spring. I want to see what it is like there next weekend."

The tube amp tone you want without cranking the volume
Rivera's RockCrusher power attenuator and load box could be your gateway to epic tube-amp tonal bliss. The tone of a tube amp is directly related to the power of the signal it receives, and how much amplification is added by the tubes themselves. In other words, if you're not cranking up your tube amp, you're not really hearing its full tone! Unfortunately, it's not always possible (or comfortable!) to turn up your tube amp to its tonal sweet spot, and that's where Rivera's RockCrusher comes in. Put the RockCrusher between your amp and speaker cabinet, and you'll be able to crank up the tone on your amp while keeping your volume down.
The RockCrusher's reactive load network is constantly maintaining the proper relationship of impedance and inductive/capacitive reactance. In guitar-speak, that means the RockCrusher lets you push your amp to its limits so that your tubes reach their tonal potential all while keeping your volume down. If you play a tube amp and want the ability to get killer tone out of it at reasonable volumes, the Rivera RockCrusher is a must-have.
Rivera RockCrusher Features at a Glance:
- 8-ohm and 16-ohm modes let you use the RockCrusher with almost any amp/speaker combination
- Lets you hear your tube amp's tone as you've never heard it before
- Bombproof construction lets you take it to even the wildest gigs
- Balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4" outputs let you easily interface with your recording gear
- Tonally transparent so that you hear your amp, not the RockCrusher
Hover over features below for a detailed description
Great Tube Tone for Every Occasion
Perfect for stages and studios of any size
Tube amps interact with the impedance load that a speaker cabinet puts on the amp's output — if you plug into your amp and just hook the amp's direct output to a recording device, you won't get the tone you expect. By hooking up the RockCrusher to your amp's speaker outputs, it interacts with all of the tubes in your amp — not just the preamp tubes you hear from your amp's direct output — to provide the true articulate and responsive tone you're looking for. What does this mean for you? You can harness every tiny bit of tone your tubes have been designed to put out, and you get the sound of your amp and pedals, all without worrying about volume. Onstage, the decreased stage volume allows for better monitoring situations and lets your front-of-house engineer mix your signal without fighting your stage levels. In the studio, this means you get to lay down no-compromise guitar tone without bleeding sound into other mics. You paid for every last tube in your amp, so use them!
Why you need the RockCrusher for live performance
- Get the true tone of your amp for in-ear monitoring
- Leave your cabinet at home and still get great tone
- For home recording, record real tube tone without waking the baby
- No worries about mic choice or placement
- For professional recording, greater mic isolation during live sessions
- Expanded volume control opens up your miking possibilities
Built like a Tank
Rugged inside and out for years of use
The RockCrusher is constructed of 16-gauge welded steel that's perforated on the top and bottom of the unit, allowing for convection-type cooling to dissipate heat. Large, heavy-duty knobs and switches are easy to use and super durable.
Built for the hard knock life of the road — you'll have great tone consistently regardless of the size of the room!
Inside, Rivera uses industrial-grade components that stand up to the heat as well as the rigors of the road, making it as capable on a world tour as it is in your studio. Imagine your guitar rig transport whittled down to your favorite amp head and a RockCrusher — not only do you get to play with the tone you want, but you can also leave the speaker cabinet at home!

Tibetan Spaniel Temperament
What's Good About 'Em,
What's Bad About 'Em
By Michele Welton.
Copyright © 2000-2016
With his independent nature and quick agility, the Tibetan Spaniel has been compared to a cat.
Lively and playful, yet also calm and laid-back, this good-natured dog is easy to live with. He fits into an apartment or an estate with equal contentment. All he asks for in the way of exercise are daily walks and occasional romps in a safe enclosed area.
Tibetan Spaniels are family-oriented: they love to play games with their own people, are sensitive to moods and feelings, and do not like to be left alone for long periods of time.
They are agile, sure-footed climbers (can often be found perched on the windowsill or the high back of a chair, looking out the window) and clever problem-solvers who often rely on their dexterity to get what they want. For example, they will use their paws to pry open a cabinet door.
Most Tibetan Spaniels are conservative with strangers and don't like being swooped down on by people they don't know. Early socialization is important to develop a confident, outgoing temperament. Most are friendly with other animals.
Though stubborn and self-reliant, the Tibetan Spaniel is also sensitive; obedience training should utilize food and praise.
If you want a dog who...
- Is small and sturdy, with a short face and large expressive eyes
- Has a thick coat that comes in a variety of colors
- Is sensible and easy to live with -- sometimes lively and playful, sometimes calm and laidback
- Needs only moderate exercise
- Makes a good watchdog but is not aggressive with people
- Is usually fine with other pets
A Tibetan Spaniel may be right for you.
If you don't want to deal with...
- "Separation anxiety" (destructiveness and barking) when left alone too much
- Suspiciousness or timidity when not socialized enough
- Stubbornness (mind of his own)
- Regular brushing and combing
- Shedding
A Tibetan Spaniel may not be right for you.
- choosing the RIGHT breeder and the RIGHT puppy
- or choosing an ADULT dog from your animal shelter or rescue group – a dog who has already proven that he doesn't have negative traits
- training your dog to respect you
- avoiding health problems by following my daily care program in 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy
More traits and characteristics of the Tibetan Spaniel
If I was considering a Tibetan Spaniel, I would be most concerned about...
- Separation anxiety. Tibetan Spaniels need a great deal of companionship and do not like being left alone for more than a few hours. They become lonely and bored, which they are likely to express through destructive chewing and barking. If you work all day and cannot provide a canine playmate, this is not the breed for you.
- Providing enough socialization. Standoffish by nature, Tibetan Spaniels need extensive exposure to people and to unusual sights and sounds so that their natural caution doesn't become suspiciousness or shyness.
- Stubbornness. Tibetan Spaniels have an independent mind of their own. Many Tibetan Spaniels are stubborn and manipulative. You must show them, through absolute consistency, that you mean what you say.
To teach your Tibetan Spaniel to listen to you, "Respect Training" is mandatory. My Tibetan Spaniel Training Page discusses the program you need.
- Grooming and shedding. To keep their coat free of mats and tangles, Tibetan Spaniels require regular brushing and combing. And Tibetan Spaniels shed a good deal.
- Finding one and paying the price. Fewer than 500 new Tibetan Spaniels puppies are registered each year. (Compare that to over 60,000 new Golden Retriever puppies.) And many breeders are charging $1000 and up.
To learn more about training Tibetan Spaniels to be calm and well-behaved, consider my dog training book, Teach Your Dog 100 English Words.
It's a unique Vocabulary and Respect Training Program that will make your Tibetan Spaniel the smartest, most well-behaved companion you've ever had.
Teaches your dog to listen to you, to pay attention to you, and to do whatever you ask him to do.
My dog buying guide, Dog Quest: Find The Dog Of Your Dreams, will teach you everything you need to know about finding a healthy Tibetan Spaniel. Health problems have become so widespread in dogs today that this book is required reading for ANYONE who is thinking of getting a purebred, crossbred, or mixed breed dog.
If you'd like to consult with me personally about whether the Tibetan Spaniel might be a good dog breed for your family, I offer a Dog Breed Consulting Service.
Once you have your Tibetan Spaniel home, you need to KEEP him healthy -- or if he's having any current health problems, you need to get him back on the road to good health.
My dog health care book, 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy is the book you need.
Raise your dog the right way and you will be helping him live a longer, healthier life while avoiding health problems and unnecessary veterinary expenses.
Please consider adopting an ADULT Tibetan Spaniel...
When you're acquiring a Tibetan Spaniel PUPPY, you're acquiring potential -- what he one day will be. So "typical breed characteristics" are very important.
But when you acquire an adult dog, you're acquiring what he already IS and you can decide whether he is the right dog for you based on that reality. There are plenty of adult Tibetan Spaniels who have already proven themselves NOT to have negative characteristics that are "typical" for their breed. If you find such an adult dog, don't let "typical breed negatives" worry you. Just be happy that you found an atypical individual -- and enjoy!
Save a life. Adopt a dog.

How repeated epiphylly correlates with gene expression of resident knox1 in the leaves of tobacco epiphyllous shoots

The tobacco knox1 genes tokn1 and tokn2 were isolated and their neomorphic capacities were tested while expressed in tobacco and potato. In addition, their neomorphic capacities were compared to barley bkn3 transgenic plant material. While tokn2 and bkn3 induced epiphylly in tobacco and supercompound leaves in potato, tokn1 failed to produce such prominent knox1 specific phenotypes. In wild type tobacco, alleles of the tokn genes were found to be expressed within distinct zones of the shoot apical meristem (SAM), leaving out regions that correlated with leaf founder cells [1]. In contrast, the expression of the tokn genes was detected throughout the meristem and in leaf primordia of epiphyllous shoots that developed in tobacco over-expressing the barley hooded gene bkn3. It was determined that such extended expression domains of resident tobacco knox1 genes were mediated through an enhanced expression domain of bkn3 within the tissue confined to the epiphylls, and this contributed to "repeated epiphylly", i.e. an iterated development of epiphyllous shoots on leaves of progenitor epiphylls.

Post subject: PSU providing web hosting and preinstalled online stores
I have been thinking about adding a new service to PSU. Since PSU out grew its shared server a few months ago it is now on a beefy server. A Intel Dual Xeon 3.06Ghz, 15,000rpm U320 SCSI drives in Hardware RAID 10, Hot-Spare drives, zero downtime during failure, Hot-Swap drives and fans, replaceable on the fly, Redundant Hot-Swap power supplies for all those tech geeks.
Many people on this site seem to be looking or a place to host there online store. They are either starting out or already out grew there current host and need to find one with more felaxibity and features or already have a web host and need a ecommerce and shopping cart setup on it. Well PSU is getting lonely on its new server. I wanted to ask what everyone thinks about PSU providing cheap robust web hosting.
I would like to get everyones opinion. Would this be something you would be interested in? How much would you be willing to pay? What services would you want on it? (Someone already mentioned sending html newsletters), what ecommerce sites would you like to see preinstalled? What other services would you want? I know there are a lot of web hosting out there but I wanted to make something more geared towards the online selling and auction community. I could build tools that would import your shop to froogle, etc.. The features are endless you just tell me what you want. We already have a community of people with there own online shops so support would be excellent.
I will have a demo site setup soon so you can play around and try out the web based interface on managing your web host for anyone who has not used cpanel.
So far I have come up with you can either have a simple host package where you can install your ecommerce site yourself or have a ecommerce host package preinstalled with your choice of oscommerce, zencart, agoracart, interchange, etc..,
Some features of the server are
Apache (cpanel version, includes mod_ssl/frontpage extensions)
PHP (cpanel version)
Subdomains, unlimited email accounts
Webmail: SquirrelMail
Database : MySQL (Default)
Web/Mail Stats : Analog, Webalizer, Awstats, EximStats
FTP Daemons : pure-ftpd (available)
Mail related : Spamassassin, autoresponders, mail filtering, mail forwarding, majordomo mailing list manager and spamd (spamassassin daemon).
Updated 02/10/06
I have just finished setting up the "PSU Stores"
You can take a look at them here
admin page login "demo" password "pass"
admin page login "demo" password "pass"
After testing many shopping carts and looking at all the features PSU hosting will be offering two e-commerce packages Zen Cart and PSU Stores. We will also be offering a non e-commerce package for people who just want a simple about me homepage to link to their auctions (I will be working on this next) and another hosting package where you can install anything you want.
The difference between the two e-commerce packages is:
Zen Cart is geared more towards e-commerce with the ability to post other content. All the files for Zen Cart will be on your server and is not managed. It will be up to you if you choose to keep up with the latest versions and patches. We will be providing some custom PSU tools and site templates with Zen Cart.
PSU Stores is a modified version of Joomla and Virtuemart. It is geared more towards a content management system with the ability to run a full featured online store. All PSU Stores will be sharing a central code base, which we maintain and can update. All the need files will be on your server so you can edit the way your site looks and runs. We will also be providing site templates.
Both sites will be able to handle very large stores and output froogle feeds. If you have lots of experience and want total control Zen Cart will work well for you. If you dont want to worry keeping up to date with software updates and patches and are afraid of accidentally messing up your store PSU Stores is a good choice.
Please contact me if you are interested getting a test site setup. Your hosting will be free untill we go live. Then you will get some free bonus months after that. Estimated cost will be less then 10 dollars month.

Frankly, if it's just host services, I say go for it.
Providing hosting services isn't the same as having an auction site here, at least not to me. Many of us are looking for good places to branch out to , if PSU has a good one, why re-invent the wheel ??
Besides, I'm sure it's costing PSU quite a bit just to have the bandwidth to run this board so we can all be buddies and learn from each other. If he wants to do a little "sub-dividing" to get back some of his expenses, I say "go for it".

Ditto Carol......
Many users here are attempting to branch out into using more of their own unique ways in which to generate sales online--So PSU could offer user friendly services to assist it's registered users here...

I think it is a fantastic idea! Everyone here already knows how well you are at support, and I think you would be an ideal host. Everyone looking for a hosting site that is here could just get it from you, seeing as you are so trusted.
I have 2 websites that I paid for in one lump sum a few years back. They no longer offer this to their members. So, I think a one time lump sum, or for those who do not have the money for that to do a monthly service. I had to pay over $300 each for 300mb of space plus all of the above mentioned perks plus MySQL db's and a few more things.
I say go for it!
Good Luck!

You are right, knappschiles, PSU is doing a good thing as far as business planning and certainly is likely to offer a better product and service than a lot of others out there.
But it does completely change the nature of this board for those of us who also offer services. I was invited into this group for the purpose of connecting with others who share concerns about sellers suffering from "corporate market abuse", if I may coin a phrase. PSU was not presenting itself as a marketting board at that time.
With a change to hosting, this board will necessarilly become a supportive leg of the PSU business. It may still be an excellent place for fellowship, networking, and education, but it will change in significant ways.
I may even purchase PSU services. It can be a very powerful and good thing for PSU to move in this direction. It changes the nature of the playing field for those of us who also offer web services as far as our participation in this board is concerned.
That's why I offer my group as another place people can stop in for a spot of tea and post a link. I will primarily be using it as a newsletter-sender, with a monthly ezine, so it may well be worthwhile for others at my level to stay in touch there in order to be able to place announcements in it, even if they don't have a lot to say.

I think it sounds like a great idea!
We pay annually for our hosting. Which by paying annually, we bring the cost down to $99.00 a year. For that, we receive 1000mg space and 40mgs of Bandwidth, 5 databases (extra databases are $10 each-one time fee), pre-installed paypal, and oscommerce carts and the ability to add your own merchant account gateway, as well as submission tools, java applet plugins, PHP, MYSQL, PHPNuke and Bulletin Board, Gallery, Awstats and a lot more. But of course our host, isn't totally geared for selling, such as some of the features you mentioned.
For the right service at the right price, we would be willing to change hosts. (although I have to say, our host has been very good! I would feel a little guilty lol) We get internetseer reports and our site has never been down unless WE had it blocked (such as the past two days).
I would like to see more features though as many features that are available, we don't use, and the ones we need are not available.....so, we would definitely be open to other options, and would definitely like to hear more about your idea!
I'll be keeping my eye on this thread.
Happy New Year everyone and the best of success to you all in 2006!

I don't think it will change the nature of the boards at all really, and is a positive way to keep the community funded.
Jim from OTWA has OCM, OTWA's marketplace site, and yet he still runs ads for other auction sites, and he even started a TOPIC PROMOTING an alternative to eBay (whaBAM) and spoke well of it.
I think it's a great way to generate funding and traffic to PSU, and another method of making Power Sellers Unite a site to go to for sellers to work at becoming independent of eBay.

I see absolutely no conflict of interest in this idea. I think it's a natural step to take, actually. I'd love it even more if PSU would create it's own auction site. You KNOW I'd jump on that wagon!
I know I also have absolutely no clue what he says he's got up there. :lol: But I know if PSUnite says it's good, it is. I think he should go for it.
If he can beat the deal I'm about to take, I'd move again. LOL

I think it could be a good thang!....
I was actually thinking over the holidays about how PSU could generate some more income to help...personally I would even Pay small yearly dues just to continue to have this site keep running.....
:shock: But Hey..That's Just Me :shock:
It's been a fantastic year of information & conversation that I haven't experienced anywhere else...
Who knows..having a Hosting service would probably bring in business for members like TeaPotDee...and us others that do web graphics & even consulting fees....could be a great way to generate personal buiness as well as help with the sites expenses....
One thing I would not like to see along with the Hosting would be a barrage of banner & advertisments....which would make this less of a "Home" & more Commercial....
.....It's a Fine Line....

This is defiantly not a conflict of interest for the site. It will actually help accomplish one of the sites missions which is to help sellers become less dependent on ebay by helping them open there own online store and introduce them to alternative auction sites. I am going to build tools that will output a datafeed form the online store to foogle or other alternative auction sites. I will really be offering webhosting geared towards ecommerce. You don't even have to pick one of the online stores we offer. You can build your own, put a blog on the website, make it a your own personal homepage. It will be your site your domain you have complete control. We will just provide hosting.

I think this will be quite successful, because, as PSU said, it's geared towards ecommerce and those in the OAI. We might even consider using it ourselves if it's easy enough, as we'd love to get our own site up soon, and we were planning on hosting from home!
PSU would create hosting that would make sites geared towards our wants and needs from auction sites, and that would be really nice (i.e. Froogle feeds).
PS: I would love a PSU auction site, but no pressure!

.sure I would like to see a PSU auction format...but I think that it would probably interfer with the postings of other New Auction sites that are trying to establish a presence...other sites come here becuase of the potiential of gaining new members & support suggestions...a PSU auction site might defeat the open & equal ideas of this forum...
....PSU-BAY... ??? probably not now.

LOL @ PSU-bay! Oh, I understand the conflict of interest there, but I don't know if that would be the case. Many sellers don't sell exclusively at any one auction site, and I don't know that many auction site owners would pass up the chance to communicate with sellers because PSU has an auction site.
A PSU site would be one I would use in addition to other sites I deemed worth trying.

Fox News reported on the large pay increases the heads of the nation's two largest teachers unions received last year after Michigan Capitol Confidential broke the story last week.
Michael Van Beek, director of education policy, told Fox News that the dollar amounts the union bosses receive isn't as problematic as the process.

"These compensation levels are not based on market demand," he said. "They pay largely relies upon monopolistic collective bargaining privileges these unions enjoy, which forces school employees to financially support them. This is why transparency of these unions is so important."

It would be much easier to just reinstall backtrack rather than trying to replace system files.
Hi! I need help to solve my multiboot system problem.
I had everything working fine - 1 disk with a XP NTFS primary 1st partition, storage 2nd NTFS patition, Backtrack4 final primary 3rd partition and 4th extended with 2 logical (linux swap and linux data).
Later on a second disk with 3 equal size primary partitions I installed 2 different hackintosh versions and recently installed a 3rd different Mac install.
With small problems sometimes with new installs, I allways managed to fix and boot the XP, BT4, and 1 of the macs. BT4 Grub install was managing everything chainloading XP and Darwin/Chameleon on the Mac.
Until I decided to install windows 7 on the storage 2nd NTFS partition of the XP and BT4 disk.
Besides taking over the disk MBR, apparently wiped out several files on the Grub Boot folder in BT4 partition including menu.lst and it's backup (I did edit it a few times because of the new installs) stage file(s) maybe more files, not sure.
Now, is it safe to reinstall BT4 over previous install without loosing new programs installed or updates (sounds a bit stupid to just get the grub BT4 standard install files)? Or if it's not,
Can somebody upload for me on any upload site the main files or the whole Boot folder for me, so that I can dowload and adapt to my HDs setup?
Thank you
It would be much easier to just reinstall backtrack rather than trying to replace system files.
Thank you for your answer. I reinstalled Grub only already a couple of times and this time to hd0,2 not as default hd0,0.
My only problems reinstalling BT4 are loosing updates and added settings or programs and default Grub setup to hd0,0 which will wipe win 7 mbr. As it is I can boot everything except BT4.
Maybe just the BT4 HD install standard menu.lst so that I can try a last time before reinstall.
Tbh if it's only your grub folder thats gone just reinstall Grub and you should be good to go. Good learning exercise too . Then you can just edit your Menu.lst, takes a few seconds, and like I said good learning exercise . Just my 2 cents though Gl

10 Good Reasons To Remove Your Breast Implants
25 Jun 2014 at 2:00pm
by Brooke R. Seckel, MD
If you're happy, and there is no evidence of rupture or any other medical problem, I don't recommend removing breast implants unless you no longer wish to have them.
The FDA estimates the "useful life" of these products to be 10 years. However, many patients have had similar devices in place for over 40 years and had no problems. Just because they are 10 years old does not mean you "have to" remove them.
That said, there are situations in which I do recommend removal and, if you desire, exchange to new implants. Some of the reasons for removal are listed, below.
1. Rupture
If your silicone breast implant ruptures, it should be removed according to current guidelines. New implants can be placed back into the breast after removing all possible silicone.
If they are saline, the device will deflate and the saline is then safely reabsorbed by the body. However, deflation of your saline implant creates an asymmetrical look, and you may want a replacement.
2. Capsular contracture
Capsular contracture is caused by scar tissue forming around the implant, and presents itself as firmness or hardness around the device. In severe cases, it can cause discomfort.
If you are considering replacing the implants after experiencing capsular contracture, the surgeon will first remove the scar tissue in a procedure called capsulectomy. However, there's a 50 percent chance that capsular contracture will recur after insertion of the new implants.
3. Rippling of saline implant
Many women are troubled by visible ripples (or ones the can feel) near the armpit. This happens most frequently with saline implants — silicone is less prone to rippling. Rippling is also more common in thin women with less breast tissue. This is not a medical problem, but a cosmetic one.
4. Displacement or "bottoming out"
In some patients, the implant can become displaced to the side or sag down on the chest. Sometimes the implant falls abnormally low, revealing the scar, and creating too much fullness below the nipple. Again, these are cosmetic problems, not a medical issue, and most women opt for revision and replacement.
5. ExposureIf there is a break in the skin, and the device is exposed, removal is almost always recommended immediately.
6. Double Bubble
In some cases, the device falls below the mammary gland and creates a second "bubble" or fullness below the crease. This is usually repaired by replacing the implant.
7. "Snoopy" Deformity
In some cases, the implant fails to drop down to a normal position, creating a bulge above the nipple. From the side, the breast can resemble the cartoon character Snoopy, which is where this condition got its name. Revision is usually done to correct this issue.
8. Breasts have sagged
Your breasts may have sagged and become smaller after having children, or with age. In most of these cases, a breast lift (or mastopexy) is done, and new implants are placed.
9. InfectionRarely, the implant prosthesis can become infected. I have seen infection once in 30 years, and it occurred after a nipple piercing. Infection of an implant can be life threatening, and removal is a surgical emergency. Signs of an infection are redness on the skin and fever. If this occurs, see your doctor immediately.
10. You simply do not want to have them any longer.
If there are no medical issues, removal of breast implants is very simple and usually not painful. Unless there are problems such as capsular contacture or rupture, your breasts will not look abnormal post-removal.

As a client, Christine has been a pleasure to work with! She is very understanding and exceptionally knowledgeable. I trusted her opinions throughout the entire process which made me feel more at ease. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone!
Posted by anonymous
Christine kept me informed 100% of the time during the ongoing disagreement I was dealing with. I have never felt so comfortable talking with a lawyer as much as I did with her. I trusted her decisions and never had any doubts throughout the entire process as to whether or not she would be able to get the job done for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needed help with their case.
Posted by John
Extremely Helpful with her advice. She was the only attorney out of 8 attorneys that called me back. She responded quickly by email and even sent one to me on a Sunday! I really did have a great experience with her and highly recommend her!
Posted by Sue
Attorney Christine Elzer is truly a rising star. Christine's professionalism and attention to detail is extremely meticulous. She is very responsive, thorough and has tremendous follow up. I recommend Christine Elzer at the Cordes law firm without hesitation.
Posted by Teresa
I am currently still litigating a lawsuit with Christine, but I have to write this review. To date, she has been the best legal rallier on my side during this emotional journey. Not only is she an incredible attorney, she is an amazing, caring woman as well. She takes all the time you need to address any concerns and answers any questions. I could not have picked a better group of attorneys/paralegals to work with me. They treat you like their own family. She responds promptly to emails, phone calls, sits and talks in person as long as you need, and not only does she give me legal advice, but takes the time to get to know me as an individual, and not just another client. She has worked wonders easing my worries and fears during this journey. She always has a positive outlook on any situation, and is the best person to turn when you have a legal matter that needs resolved. She is very thorough, makes sure she has all of the facts correct, and remembers them, reciting facts about the case from memory without referring to her notes because she took the time to read everything thoroughly,carefully, not leaving out any details,and addresses any and all concerns, issues, and problems. No matter how insignificant a detail or worry or fear may be, she treats it like it is as important to her as it is to me, and makes all efforts to resolve it and bring it to attention. I would recommend Christine to anyone, everyone. If you are looking for an attorney to not only represent you and give you legal advice, but to also care about you and your case, talk to you and treat you like family, and give herself 300000000% to your case, Christine is the woman to go to. I thank God everyday since our initial contact for finding her because she is the guide leading me to the light at the end of this tunnel.
Posted by Gerry
Christine is a excellent lawyer. She is very intelligent. She really cares about her clients. She kept me very well updated. I highly recommend her.
Posted by Deana
Christine promptly answered any questions that I had and took me step by step through the legal process. If you are looking for a knowledgeable attorney that has your best interest at heart I HIGHLY recommend her.

Steelers to pay price with defensive backs
Get out the checkbook, Dan Rooney.
The Steelers chose not to give cornerback Keenan Lewis a multiyear contract as a restricted free agent last year, in part, because he wasn't yet a starter. Lewis, in turn, might have hesitated to sign such a deal if it didn't pay him at a starter's level.
Now some team is going to pay the efficient Lewis a lot more than the $1.26 million he made in 2012 — be it the Steelers or one that grabs him as a free agent.
Where Lewis goes sets the course for the 2013 Steelers' secondary, one that hopes to be more stable and theft-prone but as statistically proficient as the NFL's top-ranked unit was this season.
That's where the hard decisions begin.
Lewis stabilized what had been a troublesome position for years, the cornerback spot opposite Ike Taylor that once alternated between Bryant McFadden and William Gay, and it's likely the Steelers would prefer to keep him more than any of the other 17 unrestricted free agents.
"I want everybody back, especially Keenan," safety Ryan Clark said. "His play was a big reason why we finished No. 1 in yards. When we have him, it makes it a lot better."
But it would cost $10.66 million to franchise him — one route to retaining him without giving him a multiyear deal — and that's unlikely given the Steelers are well over the salary cap.
If Lewis signs elsewhere, Cortez Allen becomes the next man up. He helped create five turnovers in the final two games and would start if Lewis leaves.
But that would significantly weaken a position of strength, nickel back, given that Allen graded out the highest of any Steelers defensive back in Pro Football Focus' play-by-play analysis. Ranked No. 17 league-wide, Allen (563 snaps) gave up only one touchdown but played the second-fewest snaps of any cornerback in the top 20.
With numerous personnel decisions to make given the seven players 30 or older on defense, the Steelers could decide it is more cost-effective to make Allen a starter. Then, they could seek out an affordable nickel back — if they think Curtis Brown isn't ready — through free agency or the draft.
Brown got most of his playing time late in the season, giving up 11 completions and a touchdown while being targeted 15 times.
The Steelers also must decide if this is the year they commit a high-round draft pick to safety, given that Ryan Clark — coming off possibly his best season — will be 34 next season and Troy Polamalu will be 32.
The concern about Polamalu isn't as much his age as his reliability; he missed much of the 2009 and '12 seasons to injury.
"Maybe I look too far ahead, but think what it could look like with both of us healthy and these young guys playing football and Ike out there," Clark said. "It could be special."
So for the Steelers, it's pay now or pay later. Even if the Steelers don't give Lewis a seven-figure multiyear deal, they're going to have to replace Taylor, 33; Clark and Polamalu not far down the road.
"It will be an interesting offseason," Polamalu said.

For the first time Microsoft is tempting Office users to rent, not own, software that for decades they've bought as a standalone program. It's not a foreign proposition. We pay annual subscription fees for our anti-virus software. Last April, Adobe rolled out its Creative Cloud subscription package for renting Photoshop, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver.
Now Microsoft has hopped on the rental bandwagon and hopes you will start forking over a yearly subscription fee. For Microsoft that beats someone buying Office 2010 and never coughing up more money for a newer version. It's all about creating an annuity.
[ FREE DOWNLOAD: Windows 8 Deep Dive Report | Windows 8: The 10 biggest problems so far ]
So, should you buy or should you rent? For individuals, there is no one answer. Let's take a closer look at your options and consider the pros and cons. But first a run-down of what your Office options are.
Originally designed for businesses, Office 365 allows you to always have the latest version of Office for a yearly subscription fee of $100. You can still buy a boxed version of Office 2013 at your local computer shop with prices starting at $140 for Office 2013 Home and Student. But Microsoft is pushing the $100 per year option for Office 365.
[RELATED: Decoding Microsoft Office: Which Office version does what? ]
With Office 365 Home and Business you get access to most apps from the Office suite including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Access, and Publisher. Office 2013 Home and Student, by comparison offers you just Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote for $140. To get the boxed version of Outlook 2013 you need to fork over another $80 for Office 2013 Home and Business.
For those with multiple PCs
The Office 365 subscription gets harder to resist the more PCs you have. For those with two PCs, Office 365 will cost you $50 per PC, compared to paying $280 for the traditional desktop licenses needed for two PCs. When you get to $20 per PC (per year) for five PCs, compared to $700 to install Office Home and Student on five PCs, the subscription model becomes a no-brainer.
Five PC installations for $100 a year is a pretty good deal. On top of that, you also get a few freebies including 60 minutes of international Skype calling per month and an extra 20GB of SkyDrive storage.
If you purchase Office 2013, you only get a single installation for $140. You also get an extra 5GB of SkyDrive storage.
You want Web access to Office via Office on Demand
As if installing Office on five PCs wasn't enough, with Office 365 you can use a neat new feature called Office on Demand that quickly downloads a virtualized version of select Office apps to a PC that isn't yours. This can be a friend's PC, a computer at an Internet cafe, or a public PC terminal.
Office on Demand lets you run several Office apps including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access, and Publisher. Once you're done with the Office program it stops working and doesn't count against your Office installs.
The downside to Office on Demand is that it only works for Windows PCs. You can't use Office on Demand on a Mac, Linux box, Chromebook, or a mobile device. Most of these devices can use Microsoft's Office Web apps in a pinch, Mobile devices aren't supported, but in a pinch there's a workaround for Android and iOS users running the mobile version of Chrome.
When my colleague Yardena Arar tried out the Office on Demand feature she noticed a few snags when it came to usability. For one, she noted a slight delay in saving documents. Unfortunately the wow-factor of accessing Office on Demand is diminished when you learn it has to be a on a Windows PC.
Office 2013 was tweaked to work better with touchscreens, but unfortunately only the Windows 8 variety. That means our Android and iPads will have to sit on the sidelines until Microsoft allows access to Office on Demand from those devices.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- The 2011-12 fall tournament schedule starts in earnest for Ivy League women's tennis this weekend with five teams hitting the courts.
Columbia and Penn actually opened the League's fall schedule last weekend at the Tribe Invitational in Williamsburg, Va. The two teams continue their acquaintance this weekend in the Lions' annual fall invitational Sept. 16-18 at the Dick Savitt Tennis Center. Cornell and Harvard are also hosting their own tournaments beginning Friday with Cornell playing host to several teams at the Reis Tennis Center and Harvard welcoming Boston University, Long Island, Massachusetts, Middlebury and Temple to the Beren Tennis Center.
Yale is making the trek south to join Georgia and Oklahoma State in the Georgia Tech Invitational. The Yellow Jackets are hosting a three-day flighted tournament at the Windward Club in Alpharetta, Ga.
Brown, Dartmouth and Princeton are all idle this weekend and will be back in action Sept. 23-25 at the Brown Invitational.
Columbia and Penn got off to solid starts Sept. 9-11 at the rain-shortened Tribe Invitational hosted by William & Mary. Heavy rain on the tournament's final day caused most of the singles matches to go unfinished.
Columbia junior Nicole
Bartnik and sophomore Bianca Sanon won the back draw in the
Flight A doubles while Penn junior Emma Whitfield
came up just short in her bid for the Flight E championship and
fellow Quaker Stephanie Do finished her first fall
weekend with a 2-1 record and a third-place showing in the Flight B
singles draw.
After an opening loss to William & Mary's Marlen Mesgarzadeh and Maria Belaya, Bartnik and Sanon reached the consolation final to face the Penn duo of junior Jules Rodin and freshman Alex Ion. Bartmik and Sanon made quick work of the Quaker tandem with a 8-3 win. Bartnik also took part in the Flight A draw in singles, reaching the semifinals. In her semifinal match, Bartnik took on Mariam Kurdadzae from Tulane. After dropping the first set, 6-3, Bartnik retired and Kurdadaze advanced to the final.
Whitfield got past James Madison's Leah DeMasters (6-4, 4-6, 10-1) and Old Dominion's Nika Khmolovska (3-6, 7-6 (6), 10-6) to reach the singles final in Flight E. She fell 6-3, 6-2 in her title bid to Tulane's Emma Helisten.
Do defeated Sanon 7-5, 6-2 in the opening match of the Flight B singles draw then fell to Virginia Commonwealth's Ana Bara 7-6 (2), 6-1 before bouncing back with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over James Madison's Jacky Palmucci.
Columbia sophomore Ioana Alecisu advanced in the Flight C singles consolation final but retired in the first set trailing 5-2 to Virginia Commonwealth's Alena Gerasimova.
The Ivy League was represented in the Sept. 9 release of the Campbell's/ITA Division I Women's Preseason Rankings with three players included on the singles list. Penn sophomore Connie Hsu, the 2011 Ivy League Player and Rookie of the Year, ranked 19th followed by Harvard senior Holly Cao at No. 46 and Yale junior Elizabeth Epstein at No. 92.

Greece's most devestating financial crisis in modern times and the growing possibility of a default on its loans have not only progressed its rating from Germany-level credit to average, on to junk, below junk and now to likely default, but also have begun to dramatically limit and even reduce its military capabilities. The damage is especially stark among the ranks of the Hellenic Air Force (HAF).
Here's a brief list of probable changes to HAF:

Ohio State (7-0) held a mere 10-7 lead after the Spartans scored their lone touchdown of the game with 9:48 left in the second quarter. From there, the Buckeyes dominated. They scored 17 points in both the second and third quarters to race out to an insurmountable lead.
"They hit us hard in the first half and made some plays, but our defense kept coming," OSU head coach Jim Tressel said in the Oct. 19, 2002, edition of Buckeye Sports Bulletin. "They were relentless. I think we wore them down a little. But we had a lot of respect for San Jose State. Our players had watched the film and saw how good San Jose State was, but we were able to make some plays and create some turnovers."
The Buckeyes, in fact, created four SJSU turnovers. That helped the Buckeyes outgain the Spartans, 567-265, in front of a homecoming crowd of 104,892 – the then-largest attendance at Ohio Stadium.
"We played well today but we did make some mistakes, so it's going to provide a good opportunity for us to go watch the film and correct our mistakes," OSU quarterback Craig Krenzel said. "At the same time, we did play a good football game today, which is kind of what we needed rolling into a big game next week against Wisconsin."
Freshman standout Maurice Clarett had another solid game. He rushed for 123 yards on 18 carries, allowing him to tie the OSU record for 100-yard games by a freshman (five). Clarett added two rushing touchdowns and one receiving. Krenzel completed 11 of 14 passes for 241 yards and three TDs. Two of his three incompletions were drops, while the third was a throw out of bounds.
Clarett opened the scoring with a first-quarter 1-yard TD run. Ohio State led 24-7 at halftime thanks to a 36-yard field goal by Mike Nugent, a 37-yard TD reception by Chris Vance and a Clarett 5-yard scoring run.
The Buckeyes dominated the second half. Nugent added a 29-yard field goal, while Clarett (7 yards) and Michael Jenkins (40 yards) added TD receptions in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Lydell Ross rushed for a 2-yard score, and Nugent added a 28-yard field goal.
Jenkins caught seven passes for 136 yards. Defensively, Dustin Fox had nine tackles, while Cie Grant recorded a sack.
1996 – No. 2 Ohio State 17, Wisconsin 14: Ohio State needed a fourth-quarter rally to get past the visiting and upset-minded Badgers.
"When the season is over and they turn it around and look at it, all they will see is it was a 'W,' " OSU head coach John Cooper said in the Oct. 19, 1996, edition of BSB.
The Buckeyes (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten), off back-to-back wins against No. 5 Notre Dame and No. 4 Penn State, faced a Wisconsin team that had two weeks to prepare. That resulted in a back-and-forth battle. The Badgers led 7-3 at halftime and 14-10 in the fourth quarter because the Buckeyes rallied for the win.
"We prepared for a war and that's exactly what Wisconsin gave us," OSU safety Rob Kelly said.
A second-quarter 39-yard field goal by Josh Jackson in the second quarter was the only points the Buckeyes could manage. Ohio State rallied to take a 10-7 lead in the third quarter thanks to a 1-yard touchdown run by Pepe Pearson. However, Wisconsin was not going to go quietly. UW defensive back Kevin Huntley recovered an OSU fumble and returned it 36 yards to put the Badgers ahead 14-10 with 13:09 remaining.
"We got shocked this week," Ohio State receiver Buster Tillman said. "Wisconsin came in here as a big underdog, but they played us tough."
Ohio State got the last laugh. Dimitrious Stanley caught a short pass from Joe Germaine and turned it into a 48-yard touchdowns with 8:51 remaining. A pair of OSU defensive interceptions helped keep the Badgers at bay.
The game was an even one. OSU outgained UW 391-361. The Buckeyes were led by quarterback Stanley Jackson, who completed 18 of 25 passes for 265 yards and an interception. Germaine completed 1 of 2 passes, but the completion went for Stanley's score. The Buckeyes were held to 78 yards rushing, led by Pearson's 56 yards on 24 carries.
On defense, Damon Moore (19 tackles), Rob Kelly (14) and Greg Bellisari (11) led the Buckeyes. Ohio State also got interceptions by Antonio Winfield and Moore.
1991 – No. 20 Illinois 10, No. 11 Ohio State 7: For the fourth consecutive time, the Buckeyes lost to the Fighting Illini. This loss in Champaign might have been the toughest to take after Chris Richardson hooked in a 41-yard field goal to put the hosts ahead for good with 36 seconds remaining.
"We wanted to win bad," said OSU safety Roger Harris, who recovered two interceptions and forced a fumble. "We wanted to go to 5-0, move up into the top 10. A loss like this hurts, man. You don't know how bad we wanted to win this game."
Frustration was the key word from the Buckeyes after the game.
"It's getting really frustrating to lose to them every year," linebacker Jason Simmons said in the Oct. 19, 1991, edition of BSB. "It seems every time we come out and play Illinois, we shoot ourselves in the foot. Not to take anything away from them, but we played a horrible game.
"We did so many things wrong – we missed tackles, we didn't execute, we messed up assignments, and it just seemed like they came out and did everything right and we came out and did everything wrong."
There were several key miscues committed by Ohio State. Kicker Tim Williams missed a 24-yard field goal in the second quarter. Quarterback Kent Graham fumbled to end a promising drive in the third quarter. Backup QB Kirk Herbstreit and rusher Butler By'not'e botched an option pitch on a second-and-goal at the Illini 3 early in the fourth quarter.
"I'm very disappointed in the way we played," OSU head coach John Cooper said. "I told our football team after the game, though, I think there's a lot of football left to be played in this league. We have to bounce back now, regroup and win the rest of our games. It's that simple."
Ohio State (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten) trailed 7-0 until finally getting on the scoreboard late in the fourth quarter. Joey Galloway caught a 44-yard TD pass from Graham with 3:10 remaining to knot the score. Unfortunately for OSU, that left Illinois enough time to drive for Richardson's winning boot.
Graham completed 7 of 10 passes for 130 yards, while Herbstreit completed 3 of 5 attempts for 19 yards. Raymont Harris rushed for 73 yards on 15 carries. By'not'e combined for 96 yards rushing and receiving. Steve Tovar led the defense with 10 tackles.
1985 – No. 15 Ohio State 48, Indiana 7: The OSU defense entered the game against visiting Indiana with something to prove and did just that in a rout of the Hoosiers.
A week earlier, the Buckeyes lost 31-28 to Illinois in a game Ohio State had led by 14 points at one time. The Illini rallied for the win, putting a chip on Eric Kumerow's shoulder.
"(The Illinois loss) hurt our pride," the sophomore said in the Oct. 19, 1985, edition of BSB. "Being up 14 points and then having them come back and score 17 points, that's not Ohio State defense.
"We talked about that this morning before the game; that we've got to work extra hard to show that tradition that Ohio State has, both offensively and defensively."
Kumerow led the charge by recording a pair of sacks and three tackles for loss totaling 18 yards. The Hoosiers entered the game 4-0 but left with their first loss thanks to a dominating OSU performance. John Wooldridge led the offensive attack with 104 yards rushing and three touchdowns to go with 35 receiving yards and another score. He led an attack that finished with 283 yards rushing, a season best.
"We've had opportunities to have more, but things happened – a breakdown here or a breakdown there. We'd miss a big play or something. But I feel like our backs are doing a good job. … We've really come a long way and we're getting better."
A 7-yard touchdown pass from Jim Karastos to Doug Smith with 11:16 left in the second quarter proved to be the winning score. The Buckeyes led 35-7 at halftime and cruised from there.
Karsatos completed 8 of 14 passes for 156 yards and a pair of TDs. George Cooper and Vince Workman combined to rush for 128 yards on 13 carries to aid Wooldridge, who was also OSU's leading receiver. Defensively, Chris Spielman led the way with 10 tackles. Sonny Gordon and Terry White intercepted IU passes.
1974 – No. 1 Ohio State 52, No. 13 Wisconsin 7: The visiting Badgers scored on the first offensive possession of the game, but the Buckeyes rallied from there by scoring a field goal and seven unanswered touchdowns.
Ohio State (5-0) intercepted five UW passes, including three by safety Bruce Ruhl. Ruhl got the start in place of Rich Parsons, who suffered a broken arm the week before. Cornelius Greene had a stellar day leading the OSU offense. He rushed for 146 yards and threw for 81 more. The Badgers set their sights on neutralizing Archie Griffin, but the OSU legend still finished with 112 yards for his 16th consecutive 100-yard performance.
1968 – No. 4 Ohio State 13, No. 1 Purdue 0: Fittingly on Columbus Day, the Buckeyes upset top-ranked and defending Big Ten champion Purdue at Ohio Stadium.
After a scoreless first half, Ohio State (3-0) avenged a 41-6 loss to PU in 1967 by scoring twice after halftime. On the fourth play of the third quarter, OSU's Ted Provost intercepted a Mike Phipps pass and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown. Later in the same quarter, Bill Long – under center for the first time all game because of a minor injury suffered by Rex Kern – scrambled for a 14-yard touchdown run.
1963 – No. 8 Ohio State 20, Illinois 20: In a game that featured several controversial coaching decisions, the host Buckeyes (2-0-1) and Illini ended in a tie. The first call came with 22 seconds left in the second quarter. Ohio State had the ball at the Illinois 17-yard line facing a fourth-and-3 trailing 7-3. Instead of kicking a field goal, OSU head coach Woody Hayes chose to have his team throw a fourth-down pass that was knocked down in the end zone.
The second call came when Illinois attempted a two-point conversion trailing 17-13 in the fourth quarter, which failed. If the Illini had simply kicked the extra point, they likely would have emerged with a 21-20 victory.
1957 – Ohio State 21, Illinois 7: The Buckeyes opened Big Ten play with a home win. Don Clark led all rushers with 133 yards on 33 carries, and Ohio State (2-1) took the lead for good at 14-7 on a Frank Kremblas 1-yard touchdown – one of two he scored on the afternoon.
1946 – Wisconsin 20, Ohio State 7: Ohio State (1-1-1) lost in Madison, but the defeat could be traced to events that happened before that fall afternoon. The Buckeyes won at USC the week before and had difficulty getting back to Columbus. They ended up using three smaller planes that required multiple stops on the way back. The team did not return to Ohio until late Monday evening, limiting Ohio State's time to prepare for the Badgers.
1940 – Northwestern 6, Ohio State 3: The Buckeyes (2-1) lost the first of three in a row – their first three-game losing streak since 1934 – by dropping a game in Evanston.
1935 – Ohio State 85 Drake 7: All 46 players at head coach Francis Schmidt's disposal played in a shellacking of the visiting Bulldogs. Ohio State rushed for 434 yards and threw for 236 more. The Buckeyes (2-0) also combined for 241 yards on punt and kickoff returns. The 85 points remains an Ohio Stadium single-game high.
1929 – Ohio State 7, Iowa 6: Future Ohio State athletics director Dick Larkins recovered a blocked punt in the end zone, and center Fred Barratt made a crucial extra-point kick to give OSU (2-0) a win over the Hawkeyes at Ohio Stadium.
1918 – Ohio State 34, Denison 0: The Buckeyes moved to 2-0 with a second-straight blanking of an in-state foe. Ohio State would not play again until Nov. 9 thanks to scheduling issues because of the United State's efforts in World War I.
1912 – Ohio State 34 Denison 0: A week after opening the season with a road win at Otterbein, Ohio State opened its home slate with a shutout win.
1907 – Ohio State 28, Denison 0: In the team's first game since Sept. 5, the Buckeyes upped their record to 3-0 with a rout of Denison.
1901 – Ohio State 17, Ohio 0: Ohio State improved to 2-0-1 with a blanking of the visiting Bobcats.
1895 – Otterbein 14, Ohio State 6: The Buckeyes fell to 1-1 thanks to a contentious road defeat. Ohio State accused the referee, a former Otterbein student, of being unfair.

Milgard Ceases Manufacturing at Washington Facility
October 21, 2008
Milgard Windows & Doors has shut down manufacturing operations at its Marysville, Wash. facility. The change results in the layoff of 80 employees, starting on Oct. 24. The company will maintain a sales and service presence at the Marysville site.
"As a result of the challenging economic times, including an unprecedented downturn in the U.S. housing market and softening retail activity, Milgard will be transitioning manufacturing operations from the Marysville facility to the Tacoma plant through the remainder of 2008," company spokeswoman Barbara Motley said in a prepared statement. "These reductions are a result of a change in market conditions and in no way reflects on the quality and dedication of our workforce in Marysville."

Sea breezes have kept Sydney's CBD cool while the western suburbs swelter, ahead of a hot afternoon across the city, the Bureau of Meteorology says.
But there will be some relief by tomorrow, with a predicted maximum of 23 degrees.
Just after 1pm inner Sydney was 24 degrees, while Bankstown was warmer at 31 and Penrith and Richmond were 30.
"It should continue to rise," BoM meteorologist Jane Golding said.
"Sea breezes came in and capped off the temperatures, for the moment, in the city.
"What we're expecting to happen is that sea breeze will hang around for a little bit longer and then get pushed out by the westerly wind.
"So the temperatures in the city should start to climb during the afternoon, while the temperature in the west climbs.
"The city should get up into the low 30s later this afternoon, I'd say."
BoM is predicting one of the hottest suburbs will be Richmond, which could hit a top of 36 or 37.
That maximum is about 10 degrees above the average, but 40 degrees is that suburb's October record.
Earlier Weatherzone meterologist Brett Dutschke said it could be the hottest day of the year so far for those suburbs with predicted maximums in the mid 30s.
"The beaches are the place to be if you don't like this sort of heat because the temperature will be in the high 20s," Mr Dutschke said.
It should be noticeably cooler at the beach with the sea breeze."
A cool change won't have any effect until late in the evening, Mr Dutschke said.
"It'll be above 30 degrees at least until early parts of the evening anywhere away from the sea breeze.
"It might still be very warm when some people are going to bed this evening."
Some of the highest temperatures in NSW in the early afternoon were much further inland. Bourke was at 35 at 1.30, Cobar was at 33 and Dubbo and Forbes were at 30.
The Rural Fire Service is battling a bushfire that had burnt out 35,000 hectares in the state's northwest, near Armidale.
The Rural Fire Service said the fire danger rating in greater Sydney, including the Blue Mountains and Gosford areas, was severe and very high in the Hunter and Illawarra.
There are also total fire bans in those areas, which are in place until midnight.

Take The $5 Challenge September 17
Slow Food Maui is having its second annual general meeting at the Maui Culinary Academy's Leis Family Class Act Restaurant located in the Pāʻina Building at the UH-Maui Campus on Saturday, September 17, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. where anyone interested can sign up for membership and learn more about the organization.
In addition, we are gathering for a Grown on Maui $5 Challenge Potluck. This free event is open to the general public. Participants are asked to bring an individual slow food meal for five dollars or less, or a potluck dish to serve any number of people at $5 per serving.
Why $5? Slow Food Maui joins Slow Food USA Chapters with a Day of Action where people can attend any one of the hundreds of slow food gatherings nationwide. Participation is easy. To take "The $5 Challenge" simply pledge to cook a slow food meal for five dollars or less, or attend a local event.
What if $5 is too much for me and my family? We recognize that $5 is actually not a small amount of money – but it is the cost of a typical fast food "value meal", so we figured that was a good starting place for cooing up a meal that reflects your values.
This campaign hopes to find ways to make eating "slow" easier, while also acknowledging what makes it hard. Understanding the hard part and how to fix the hard part… is the hard part. And it's where we've all got out work cut out for us.
Attendees to the Maui potluck are asked to bring their own plate, utensils, napkin and beverage. In addition to the $5 requirement, Slow Food Maui seeks dishes featuring Grown on Maui produce, products and/or proteins. Prizes will be given to fan-favorite dishes, voted on by all attendees. Parking is free. RSVP to charlene[at]SlowFoodMaui[dot]org.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- What's the goal of the day? The goal is to take back the 'value meal' – because slow food shouldn't have to cost more than fast food. We're asking people to share what they do in their kitchens and with their families to cook fresh, healthy food on a budget. Together, we're learning what works, what doesn't, and what needs to change in order to make good food affordable and available for everyone.
- What will people do that day? Get together with friends, family, and neighbors for slow food meals that cost less than $5 per person. You can sign up or find a local $5 meal at Slow Food USA. The meals can be potlucks, dinners, workshops, or anything else – as long as it's less than $5 and you register it online. No meal is too small.
- Who can organize a meal? Anyone! Many of the $5 meals are being organized by Slow Food chapters across the country, but anyone can organize a $5 meal and register it online.
- What if I'm busy on September 17? You can take the $5 Challenge any time! Take the pledge in order to show your support, and we'll send you $5 cooking tips and updates on the campaign.

George Michael keeps the faith at L.A. concert
By Darryl Morden
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The audience at Los Angeles' Forum gave George Michael a special present just before the second half of his two-hour performance Wednesday: a spontaneous arena-wide "happy birthday to you" for the English singer, who turned 45 on Wednesday.
There were more birthday rounds toward the end of the night, including one from his band, plus a cake from actress Bo Derek. But Michael already had given his fans the gift of a stylish, career-spanning show as part of his first North American tour in 17 years, returning to this venue after two decades.
Wearing all black and in glasses, Michael still looks a touch boyish, though he clearly is heading into middle age -- like a good part of his audience that included soccer moms and dads and other couples, gay and straight. Opening with "Waiting (Reprise)," he set the night's theme with lyrics such as "there's a way back for every man" and proved he's on top of his game on his own terms.
By halfway through the evening, Michael had the full house dancing and singing along without the need for a phalanx of dancers and production numbers with myriad costume changes (are you listening, Madonna?).
The staging certainly was impressive, full of dazzle, sparkle and rainbow hues of lighting coupled with vivid video images. A trio of screens included one rolling up from the stage floor onto the center of the three-tier scaffolding where Michael's band played, while a wide catwalk led to another smaller stage at the center of the arena.
Yet despite all the flash and glitz, the music always came first, the arrangements big but tasteful and even sometimes surprisingly understated for the more subtle songs.
He picked up the pace with pulsing "Fastlove" and the bouncy "I'm Your Man," dating back to his mid-'80s start in the bubblegum-poppy Wham! as black-and-white footage of those so-young days appeared on the screens. Those Wham! tunes received some of the biggest screams and cheers, including the funky strut of "Everything She Wants."
A gospel-styled "One More Try," accompanied only by piano, found him interacting in the round with his coed sextet of backing singers. He struck a musical equilibrium between the ballads and upbeat songs, though some of the Eurotrash dance club material came off a bit like filler. Continued...

To adopt, please fill out our adoption form on the website for the animal you're interested in. When we receive your form, our volunteers will contact you to set up a day and time that works for you to meet the cat or dog you're interested in.
Adoption Includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm test, microchipping and deworming. Adoption fee varies dog to dog staring around $250 for an adult dog and $350 for a puppy.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
