How can we make our classrooms more engaging, creating "spaces that help students connect, get inspired, and achieve deeper learning and better results."
This post provides five simple ideas. Each is followed with short descriptions. Three are listed below:
* Try out new teaching techniques, don't just read about them.
* Try out technology tools that allow you to work side by side with your students rather than positioned next to the board.
* Explore new learning opportunities by accessing a web portal and connecting with another classroom studying the same topic.

Our Bodies, Our Babies, Our Rights Rally
On the 18th of February - on the National Day of Action - people from all over Australia gathered to protest at the changes that threaten to restrict the choices women have for giving birth. I attended the Sydney Rally along with 100 to 200 other people. I've put together a slide show that you might enjoy - http://www.pregnancy.com.au/midwifer...ts-rally.shtml The following articles appeared in the media:
- Advocates defend their rights for homebirths
- Local mum in home birth ban protest
- Hundreds protest homebirth restrictions
- Interview on Channel 7 (YouTube)
There was lots more media for the other events around Australia. I found it a little annoying that the media reported that it was homebirth being restricted when the rally was about limiting choices for all birthing options (not just homebirth)

that paint is horrible!Originally posted by chilltager718@May 7 2007, 11:12 AM
any one know about this stuff was going to buy but dont know if it sucks or not
in my town you can buy that paint for 1.99$ a can, and its covers horribly,really horribly or you can buy rusto for 2.83$ at menards, and let me tell you its worth the 83 cents.
i have always rocked rusto or painters touch, i plan on trying some krylon soon because of tip options.
okay first of all its just called TREMCLAD and its canadian rust paint. i hear its made by rusto but NEVER CALL IT TREMCLAD RUSTO PAINT you sound like a fucking goof-ass clown-ass bitch-ass cunt-ass son-of-a-bitch! but as for caps?Originally posted by Platz@May 7 2007, 11:23 AM
has anyone ever tried the tremclad rusto paint?
how many caps can fit on it?
rack the red stock caps found on painters touch. those are sick.
the black stock caps found on krylon dont even compare to the red ones.
and for fat caps TREMCLAD works wunders with RUSTO FAT CAPS.
stocks for thins. rusto fats for fats. in my experience tremclad takes a little longer to dry but they have TREMCLAD QUCIK DRY shit that shit is the shitttttt.
expensive but if u rack who gives a fuck.
hope i helped. tremclad colonial blue is a sick colour. its like a steel blue, kinda cold and grey looking. my favourite tremclad colour. whats yours?
QUOTE (NightStalker @ Dec 3 2004, 08:10 PM)
can you put montana metallic acrylic paint in a kiwi mop ?
u can put fucking water into a kiwi mop. its not like the moment u put the montana paint in ur mop it explodes or something. try it
*if i post pictures it means i stole em, if you dont fucking like it, dont look at them*

Ironlak paint shop coming soon to long island...call (347)254-2988 for questions
general paint
RUSTO 33%more cans are the way to go bigger cans fer tha same price but there all comeing out wit thhese graffiti proof type of nozzles but the older rustos with thhe ny fats coverage is insane
blubber colors, deff check em out
Don't use Valspar. Got that shit from Lowe's and it wouldn't spray probably clogged. Never happens with good ol rusto.
germans and shit fit on valspar though, better than using most other shit cans. if you can find em on sale or rack them i say use it, other than that. dont pay 14$ a can for shit.
I'm looking for a bit of inspiration on what can be done with $1 cans. The cans we get at our store are really difficult to work with, but I understand it's more about skill than it is about the can. I don't expect nothing magnificent, but anyone got any images of work they/others have done with $1 cans.
hmmm check my page out (click on my name over the avatar) nd go to photos then in the album pieces, 90% of what you see is done using shit dollar cans
but i dono much about getting your inspiration from there, i dont consider myself to be good
New paint company's have recently launched new paint. anyone ever use Fresh Paint? or All City?
i havent used either. Every piece i've seen done with Fresh Paint, is garbage. That may be the artists' faults, but i dont have much care to ever touch one.
All city? i'm curious about too. I've seen some basic suff put up, and i thot about buying some, but i'm happy with lak and beltons.
I'm still going to assume that fresh paint is garbage, tho james insists that's it's comparable to lak. If nothing else, the pathetic color selection ruins it.
krylon sucks nowadays. color place is terrible. rusto is great. german montana fucking blows. spanish montana is the 100% best. fresh paint is ok. belton molotow is pretty good. belton hit color is good, dark colors of it are like rusto on roids.
Whatever puts a mark on a wall. Just make sure its not total shit. Theres one brand in particular where the can is white, and then theres a floral pattern underneath it in the color of the paint. Its shitty. Dont get it. It actually washed off in a rainstorm.
The wonderful thing about tiggers...

Eh, i know this might be really wrong, but does anyone remember the waves actually being good when there's a full moon? All it does is turn everything into a shore break and make the tides more extreme.

The bad thing is, it's not just the one day of the full moon, it's the whole week around it.
Could be the cause? Because there were some 2-3ft waves yesterday, just unridable.


text: Wow you got lucky... they are definitely not supposed to do this. I just hope it wasn't a 42. I think Last Call might either be this week or next. I saw that there were a LOT of Kitons on the sale rack so, perhaps, the sales staff had been encouraged to point out to customers that they would honor the next mark-down for these particular garments. And, yes, it is a 42R.

High-tech adventurers go on a hunt for treasure Geocaching finds a following
Connie Farrow, Associated Press An Increasingly Popular Game Of G
January 9, 2005 GPTR0109
It's called geocaching, and all you need to play is a portable Global Positioning System, access to the Internet and a sense of adventure.
Players enter coordinates in longitude and latitude from a Web site into their GPS, and the hunt is on. Geocachers follow the navigation signal and a list of clues that take them through cemeteries, caves, forests and even historic homesteads.
At the end of the hunt is a treasure -- some kind of trinket or toy -- stashed in an airtight container, although sometimes there is only a logbook for players to sign.
Sound easy?
Sometimes it is -- and sometimes it's maddeningly frustrating, said Nicki Sage, 49, of Springfield. In geocaching circles she is known as "Jeepers2," a tribute to the two vehicles that have transported her to myriad sites where she has found more than 600 caches and placed 17 more for others to find.
"People have asked me if I have found a million dollars. I haven't, but that's not the point," Sage said. "The hunt is the adventure of it."
The hunt can include occasional brushes with wildlife, difficult terrain and hours of work.
"I nearly slid off a 150-foot cliff one time," Sage recalled. "I was on my butt and couldn't find anything to grab onto."
Her dog, Memphis, stopped her slide within a few feet of the edge.
Sage got involved in the game in July 2001 after seeing a TV segment about it. The game has since taken her all over Missouri and to more than a dozen other states and Canada.
Among her favorite places is Bonniebrook, the former home of Rose O'Neill, outside of Branson. O'Neill created the Kewpie doll in 1909.
Sage was so fascinated by O'Neill that she hid a cache in an ammunition container -- a favorite because it is airtight -- on the property, with the caretaker's permission.
The GPS information takes players to within 50 feet of where the cache is hidden. Players then must use a decryption key to unravel a string of numbers and letters that leads to the container.
"I've had so many people tell me that they never would have found Bonniebrook had it not been for geocaching," she said.
Geocaching took off in May 2000 after the government removed restrictions on GPS, originally developed for military navigation, said Jeremy Irish, a partner in a Seattle-based company, Groundspeak, that created a leading Web site for geocachers.
The change cleared the way for commercial receivers that sell for about $100 and are accurate to within 20 feet, Irish said. Satellites use radio frequencies to broadcast their own positions, and the GPS unit takes that information to figure out where you are, he said
"You don't have to wear an aluminum foil beanie to make sure your brain waves are not being scanned," Irish jokes.
Irish estimates that more than a half-million people regularly play the adventure game in more than 200 countries -- from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. He believes geocaching is growing because the rules are simple: Take something from the cache, leave something in the cache and write in the logbook.
Early on, geocaching was more of a rural activity, but "as it's grown in popularity and participants, finding a cache in the city has become much more common," said Nate Irish, Jeremy's brother. Urban caches tend to be hidden in tiny containers, like film canisters, and are frequently tucked away in "little pockets of nature among all the hustle and bustle" of cities, he added.
Linda and Bob Shaffer of Mountain Home, Ark., have found 378 caches and placed 21 since they started playing the game in 2002.
"After you finish the first one, you're hooked," Linda Shaffer said.
They use their weekends to go geocaching in surrounding states because they have found all the local caches.
Along the way, the Shaffers have had a few "misadventures" -- such as the time they were approached by a police officer while searching for a cache under a bridge near Memphis. The country was under a terror alert at the time, and even though the Shaffers explained what they were doing, the skeptical officer wouldn't budge until they had found their treasure.
"That's one of the times when we didn't want to come up without a cache," she said.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources encourages geocaching and estimates there are more than 100 caches hidden in its 83 parks and sites.
But a permit application must be approved before a cache can be placed on state property to ensure it doesn't harm cultural or natural resources, agency spokeswoman Sue Holst said.
"We see geocaching as an important new recreational opportunity," she said. "We want to provide that opportunity to our visitors, but we also want to make sure that no one is placed in danger."
Geocachers also pride themselves on giving back by picking up trash while they're out, Sage said.
"Being respectful of places where we go is an important part of geocaching," she said.

Rec Center wins Outstanding Sports Facility award
Corvallis, OR, Feb. 12, 2009 — The National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA), the pioneer in organized recreation programs for colleges and universities, is proud to announce the six recipients of its 2009 Outstanding Sports Facilities (OSF) awards.
NIRSA began presenting annual OSF awards for creative, innovative designs of new or expanded facilities in 1988. Each winner is considered a standard or model by which other collegiate recreational facilities should be measured and from which others can benefit. NIRSA selects and publishes information on these facilities as a resource for campus master planners, recreational sports directors, designers, architects, contractors, and recreational sports students.
The winners for 2009, listed alphabetically by institution, are:
- Colorado School of Mines Student Recreation Center
- Springfield College Wellness Center
- Stephen F. Austin State University Student Recreation Center
- The University of Texas- Pan American Recreation & Wellness Center
- The University of Texas at San Antonio Recreation & Wellness Center
- University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh Student Recreation & Wellness Center
"These six facilities represent the very best and the very latest in collegiate recreational centers," said Jeff Huskey, director of Campus Recreation at Stephen F. Austin State University and Chair of NIRSA's 2008-2009 Outstanding Sports Facilities Award Selection Committee, which oversees the award process. "These facilities not only provide a location for physical activity, but also create a sense of community on their campus. The students who utilize these fantastic facilities are more successful academically and are more satisfied with their overall college experience."
Recent research backs him up. A 2004 study commissioned by NIRSA and conducted by Kerr & Downs found that participation in recreational sports programs and activities is a key determinant of college satisfaction, success, recruitment, and retention.
To be eligible for an Outstanding Sports Facilities Award, the facility must belong to a NIRSA member institution, must be no more than two years old, total construction costs (excluding design and land fees) must be at least $2 million, and the facility must be more than 20,000 square feet.
The judges are recreational sports directors from member institutions and designers or architects who are associate members. They evaluate each facility on the following criteria: correlation to the campus master plan and mission; intended and actual impact on the recreational program; unique aesthetic or architectural features; the relationship between facility design and staffing; innovative construction materials or methods; sustainable features; and technological benefits for the customer, staff or budget.
Winners of this prestigious award will be recognized at the NIRSA Annual Conference and Recreational Exposition April 1-4, 2009 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA)
NIRSA is the leading resource for professional and student development, education, and research in collegiate recreational sports. Headquartered in Corvallis, Oregon, NIRSA was established in 1950 at a meeting of 22 African-American men and women from 11 Historically Black Colleges and Universities at Dillard University. NIRSA now includes nearly 4,000 highly trained professional, student and associate members throughout the United States, Canada and other countries. Serving an estimated 5.5 million students who regularly participate in campus recreational sports programs, NIRSA members are actively engaged in many areas of campus life: student leadership, development, and personnel management; wellness and fitness programs; intramural sports; sport clubs; recreation facility operations; outdoor recreation; informal recreation; and aquatic programs.

These tumors may also be categorized into primary (originating in the brain tissue itself) or metastatic (spread to the brain from another site such as the lung or breast). Although brain tumors rarely spread to other parts of the body, they can spread through the brain tissue. These tumors can destroy and compress normal brain tissue as they grow. Brain cancers are often referred to as brain tumors or central nervous system (CNS) tumors.

Most relationship problems and emotional issues that I have witnessed are the result of beliefs formed early in childhood around certain events, creating a world view that no longer serves the client. Reactivity and strong feelings are often triggered because of this. I help clients explore the source and origin of those beliefs and form new, healthier, empowering beliefs that reduce the trigger points and create a stronger sense of personal well being. This,in turn, changes behavior, rather easily.

A voiding cystourethrogram is an x-ray study of the bladder and urethra that is done while the bladder is emptying.
Cystourethrogram - voiding
The test is performed in a hospital radiology department or in a health care provider's office by an x-ray technician.
You will lie on your back on the x-ray table. A thin, flexible tube called a catheter will be gently inserted into the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body) and passed into the bladder.
Contrast dye flows through the catheter into the bladder. This dye helps the bladder show up better on x-ray images.
The x-rays are taken from various angles while the bladder is full of contrast dye. The catheter is removed so that you can urinate. Images are taken while you empty your bladder.
You must sign a consent form. You will be given a gown to wear.
Remove all jewelry before the test. Inform the health care provider if you are:
You may feel some discomfort when the catheter is placed and while your bladder is full.
This test may be done to diagnose the cause of urinary tract infections, especially in children who have had more than one urinary tract or bladder infection.
It is also used to diagnose and evaluate:
The bladder and urethra will be normal in size and function.
Abnormal results may indicate the following:
You may have some discomfort when urinating after this test because of irritation from the catheter.
You may have bladder spasms after this test, which may be a sign of an allergic reaction to the contrast dye. Contact your health care provider if bothersome bladder spasms occur.

" Moreveg / Seed supplier. "
Regular readers of my reviews may know that I have a passion for growing salad leaves. In my fairly small garden I am able to be self sufficient most years, including the winter, and this I do by carefully selecting the right varieties. Salad leaves are so easy to grow, and they need only a thin layer of compost underneath them, so they do not require the heavy digging and soil preparation demanded by other crops. Choosing the right varieties is of paramount importance, and I use a number of the less well known seed companies to achieve this. I will look inside the giant catalogues from the major seed producers from time to time, but I much prefer to turn to the lesser known, as there are so many real gems out there including More Veg which I absolutely love.
More Veg which you can find at www.moreveg.co.uk has found a corner of the market that I feel has been lacking for as long as I can remember. Most small gardeners like myself love to grow vegetables, but we simply don't need 200 seeds to supply our needs, and so More Veg actually produce seeds in small quantities exactly for this reason. Most of their seeds are sold in groups of 20, and they are often as inexpensive as 50p. Not only is this excellent value but it also allows you to try as many different varieties as possible, which I think makes gardening so interesting. I also think it discourages one of my worse gardening habits which is to be too heavy handy with sowing, this enthusiastic behaviour has often meant long sessions pricking out tangled seedlings and inevitably causes waste and some frustration.
I think many people are worried about the use of small producers from fears over the security aspects of their websites, which is one of the reasons why I love to talk about these kinds of businesses if I have experiences of dealing with them. I can only report positive things about this company who have supplied me with seeds for some years now, and have never let me down so far. I usually pay by PayPal but you can order by post if you prefer, and in my experience despatch times are very quick indeed and the seeds are also supplied with excellent growing instructions.
The website itself is really user friendly and what I really admire is the constant updating that happens so frequently as new and really obscure varieties become available. This is the place to find that gem which no one else has tried before, and certainly isn't going to pop up in Tesco. I think this is what really got me started some years ago with my salad leaf quest as I love Mediterranean salads and eat them daily. Although I have purchased leaves from the supermarket their keeping qualities are not always ideal, and there is nothing nicer than popping outside just before tea to pick leaves for a salad that will be eaten within half an hour of being harvested.
The website also has lots of helpful advice about sowing, and the seasonal needs that plants have, so that you can really understand when to sow various varieties to get the best outcome. They also have detailed histories relating to the seed varieties. I have one lettuce with a history dating back to 1800 from South Carolina!
I also love to grow tomatoes and More Veg really have some fantastic options here and I have had great success with germination from these as with all their seeds. The quality really is excellent and the entire process from ordering to delivery and on from there is 100% positive. Even the postal charges are pegged really low. My latest order was a mere £1.25 for posting as it was under £10, but orders over this amount are completely free.
The company was formed when a group of gardeners in similar positions to myself got together to see if they could fill this gap in the market, which I think they have done so with such success. I think it is also encouraging to note that they do not use any seeds which are genetically modified and many of the lines are organically sourced.
I think this company is making gardening accessible to all as it is so much more economical to purchase seeds in this way.
This hasn't been the easier year for growers in the UK. The weather has been so devastating, but I am still enthusiastic when I see my little seed packages arriving and I can disappear into my potting shed to get started!
This is an excellent company in every aspect, and hopefully my review will give them some coverage, as unless I had found them some years ago I may still have been in the dark about their existence. Happy Gardening!
Mrs Rachel Martin
Hemyock Cullompton
Over the last few years I've been changing the nature of my garden from the very labour intensive cottage garden style for the more easily maintained shrubs and bulbs with the odd clump of perennials and a few pots dotted about to add colour where needed. I've still reserved part of the garden for my fruit and veg patch however and, although I'm not quite self sufficient, I've found that what I do grow goes a long way towards cutting down on the shopping bills.
I tend to be a bit of a seed tart really and don't stick to any one particular supplier as such. As the price of seeds can vary considerably and tends to be on the expensive side, especially when bought from the big boys such as Thompson & Morgan or Mr Fothergill, I like to shop around for the cheapest I can find. I came across MoreVeg when I was browsing through various gardening sites on the internet and as they seemed to have received mainly positive comments from users, I thought I'd give them a try. Most of the seed sold through MoreVeg is organically sourced and none of it has been treated with chemicals and neither is any of it GM (genetically modified).
Their website (www.moreveg.co.uk) was started by a group of gardeners who felt that they were paying for seed they never used so decided to sell in more realistic quantities. The site is really well laid out and easy to navigate and it's also very informative with tips on what you should be doing in your garden in the current month and there is also a seasonal garden planner which is helpful for newbie gardeners.
Despite its name, MoreVeg also sells flower seeds (many of which are attractive to insects to help with pollination) and they have a fledgling herb section too.
This was the clincher for me. Their seed packets begin at 50p for 20 seeds which is more than adequate for most gardeners and is also exceptional value. Delivery to anywhere in the UK is free for orders over £6 and only 95p for orders under that limit. In my experience, it's very easy to get carried away on this site and have found my orders always comes to over the £6 mark!
For non-Brits, MoreVeg now sell to EU countries too, although there is a postage and packing charge of £1.75 for orders under £5 and £2.50 for orders over that amount.
Payment is made either online through Paypal, for which it isn't necessary to have your own Paypal account, or it's possible to pay by cheque by selecting that option when you go through the checkout and then post your payment.
My opinion:
MoreVeg have definitely become my seed supplier of choice. The website, as I've already said, is very user friendly and informative. I know some people are a little wary of buying from smaller outlets on the internet but I can assure you this site is a bona fide business and full contact details are given on the website, including address and telephone number.
The ordering process is simple, delivery is very fast and the product quality is beyond excellent. The choice of seed varieties available may not be quite as huge as the larger seed suppliers offer but these varieties have all been chosen for their flavour, yields and reliability. That doesn't mean that MoreVeg always play it safe with the varieties on offer as there are plenty of new F1 hybrids and more unusual vegetables to tempt you.
The checkout facility on the website couldn't be simpler and ordering was a breeze. It also seemed as though I'd no sooner placed my first order and paid for my seeds than the postman was pushing them through my letter box! All the seeds are well packed and come with very detailed growing instructions.
As for product quality, because this is, or at least I suspect it is, more or less a one woman business, seed quality is superb. These seeds have probably been hand graded and packed which means they are far more uniform in size than would be expected from a larger seed supplier where the seed is generally machine graded and where there can often be quite a variation in size, quality and viability.
I can certainly vouch for the viability of MoreVeg seeds too. From the packets I bought and sowed this year, I reckon I had about 90% of the seeds sown germinate, which is a pretty good percentage in anyone's books. The seedlings which died off were down to poor gardening rather than poor quality seed and those which grew to maturity were all healthy and productive plants.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company. I really consider MoreVeg to be one of my "finds" of the year. I've bought seeds from them a couple of times now and have been totally satisfied with the service I've received and the product sold on each occasion. In fact, I've already put in my order for the coming season. I suspect this is quite a small operation and seed stocks may be fairly limited, so I decided to shop early for 2011.

Amy Wallace's essay "An Epidemic of Fear," published in this month's issue of Wired, is both perceptive and worrying. Wired's articles often comment on the growing debates between social groups and professional communities. This month's feature focuses on the conflict between anti-vaccination proponents—mainly parents—and the scientific community that contends they are necessary.
Wallace's essay, while offering some sympathy to parents, argues heavily in support of the scientific community. Unfortunately, her view also creates worries about parental rights.
Consider Wallace's comments about parents who choose not to vaccinate their children:
In certain parts of the US, vaccination rates have dropped so low that occurrences of some children's diseases are approaching pre-vaccine levels for the first time ever. And the number of people who choose not to vaccinate their children (so-called philosophical exemptions are available in about 20 states, including Pennsylvania, Texas, and much of the West) continues to rise. In states where such opting out is allowed, 2.6 percent of parents did so last year, up from 1 percent in 1991, according to the CDC. In some communities, like California's affluent Marin County, just north of San Francisco, non-vaccination rates are approaching 6 percent (counterintuitivly, higher rates of non-vaccination often correspond with higher levels of education and wealth).
The figures sound alarming. Wallace provides reasons for us to believe that vaccination exemptions result in serious health concerns for both specific individuals and larger communities. The issue, however, is garbled amidst Wallace's concern that parents who choose not to have their children vaccinated are doing so on irrational grounds—even though, as Wallace points out, the majority of parents abstaining from vaccinations live in more highly educated communities. Yet she says that naysayers oppose vaccinations because of fear and "unmet need," as opposed to scientific evidence or reasonable doubt. She adds:
…Science loses ground to pseudo-science because the latter seems to offer more comfort. "A great many of these belief systems address real human needs that are not being met by our society," [Carl] Sagan wrote of certain Americans' embrace of reincarnation, channeling, and extraterrestrials. "There are unsatisfied medical needs, spiritual needs, and needs for communion with the rest of the human community."
Wallace's attention to the motivations underlying parents' objections to vaccinations does not cohere with her primary thesis that vaccinations are necessary. Furthermore, her comment that these objections are a result of fear and irrationality is not far removed from the kind of remarks Sigmund Freud makes in his Civilization and It's Discontents. He writes, "Life, as we find it, is too hard for us; it brings us too many pains, disappointments and impossible tasks. In order to bear it, we cannot dispense with palliative measures." Like Freud, Wallace implies that parents are trying to assuage their fears using superstitious means. This line of thought implies that our unmet fears and needs are irrational, and so the direction in which we point our fears and needs is unjustifiable.
Of course, we cannot deny—nor should we—that we are liable to hold beliefs that are not wholly logical. Wallace's position, however, not only has the capacity to generate more fear among anti-vaccine proponents, but it also has the capacity to undermine parental rights. If she argues that parents who object to the scientific community about vaccinations are irrational, perhaps they should not be allowed the freedom to choose not to have their children vaccinated.
Yet the fact that fear exists among parents does not imply the absence of reason. With all the controversies surrounding treatments, as well as updated information about side-effects and the rise of medical information available online, parents are justified in questioning scientific authority. By dismissing parents' concerns as illogical, Wallace feeds this distrust. Respect goes both ways. If the scientific community is truly a bulwark of logic and reason, it should seek to bridge the gap between parents and doctors by effectively communicating about the challenges and controversies regarding science and medicine. Furthermore, if Wallace wants to convince parents that the scientific community should be trusted, she will also seek to bridge this gap, instead of engendering more doubt. '

How Florida and West Virginia Met in the 1994 Sugar Bowl
Surprising, and luckily for a new hierarchy, the Sugar Bowl found itself in a no-lose situation as pairings began to take shape for the postseason.
There was a change in leadership as Mickey Holmes stepped down as executive director of the Sugar Bowl, and his recommendation for the job was his protégé, 29-year-old Troy Mathieu. Perhaps as an indication of how much times had changed, not much was made of the fact that Mathieu was African-American. Still, it was noteworthy that after all the trials and tribulations of the segregation years of the late '50s and '60s, the Sugar Bowl was now operated by a black man.
Though on the surface things did not look promising for Mathieu's first game at the helm, given that the Sugar Bowl was slated to pick after both the Orange Bowl and Cotton Bowl. Yet the Sugar wound up with the attractive options.
All the sporting world knew the Orange would choose to pair Nebraska against Florida State, the No. 1 and No. 2-ranked teams in the final Bowl Coalition poll. After that, though, things got interesting. Available to face the Cotton Bowl's host team, SWC champion Texas A&M, were No. 3 West Virginia, the undefeated champion of the Big East, and No. 4 Notre Dame, owner of a 10-1 record that included a regular-season victory over Florida State. Whichever team the Cotton bypassed would then end up in the Sugar Bowl.
And that's exactly what happened...almost. The Cotton Bowl tapped West Virginia, but the Mountaineers elected to exercise an option in the Bowl Coalition contract allowing a school to pass on a bowl invitation for "financial reasons." Subsequently, Notre Dame found itself with an invite to Dallas.
There were several reasons for West Virginia's "Thanks, but no thanks," response to the Cotton. At least a million of those were the Sugar's higher payout, more than $4 million, but the Mountaineers insisted there were other important issues to consider.
WVU coach Don Nehlen explained he considered the Sugar Bowl one of the premier football classics and that he and his 11-0-0 team would be honored to participate in it.
He didn't say this, but even though Florida State and Nebraska would be playing for the national championship in the Orange Bowl, Nehlen also must have thought he could plant a seed of doubt with a West Virginia victory over Florida (10-2) rather than one over out-of-the-running Texas A&M in Dallas.
"We feel strongly (that) playing a team the caliber of Florida, if...if we won that game, we'd be a 12-0 football team and we'd deserve a part of that national championship," Nehlen said.
"We all know that Florida State is a great, great football team. But, on the other hand, they stubbed their toe (31-24 at Notre Dame), and Nebraska didn't stub their toe. And neither did we."
West Virginia had, of course, an outstanding record, but its real strength was questionable - just, ironically, as the Mountaineers of 40 years before who also played in the Sugar Bowl. New Orleans Item sports editor Hap Glaudi dubbed the '54 match with Georgia Tech the "Lemon Bowl" and ridiculed the selection. On that day, Georgia Tech drubbed West Virginia 42-19 in a game that was never close.
Gators coach Steve Spurrier's New Year's night goals were less ambitious than Nehlen's. There was no possible national championship awaiting Florida. "We've got the opportunity to win 11 games for the first time in the history of our school, and we've never won in the Sugar Bowl (0-3), so we've got some firsts out there that we can try to accomplish without worrying about what's happening in the Orange Bowl."
Recap excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Lea Michele steps out for first time since Cory Monteith's death
(Yahoo!) - Slowly, Lea Michele is returning to public life.
But she's not at all leaving the memory of her late boyfriend Cory Monteith behind.
The "Glee" star, 26, was spotted in L.A. on Tuesday for the first time since Monteith's shocking death from an overdose of alcohol and heroin on July 13 at just 31.
She was spotted in a car with a friend while wearing the gold "Cory" necklace that she debuted in January.
Michele made a statement about Monteith, her boyfriend of more than a year, for the first time Monday with a Twitter post.
"Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support," she wrote. "Cory will forever be in my heart."
Michele and her cast mates, who also have offered touching statements, are expected to film an episode that's a tribute to Monteith soon. The show's co-creator Ryan Murphy told Deadline that production on the new season will begin next month, later than planned, to "help with the grieving process." The Cory episode will air after an already written, two-part arc featuring Beatles songs, and just before the show takes a hiatus to regroup.

Gaming on phones and tablets isn't just about the touchscreen any more – thanks to more powerful processors, we can now play console-quality games on our mobile devices. And entertaining as touchscreen games are, there are some games – particularly console ports like the forthcoming Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – that really benefit from physical controls.
Lugging around an Xbox 360 controller with your phone is a bit counterintuitive, though – so a host of companies have launched compact Bluetooth controllers for phones and tablets. Now Nyko's thrown its hat into the ring with the Tegra-endorsed PlayPad – but is it a small wonder?
Nyko PlayPad for Android review – design and build
Pop the PlayPad out of the box and the first thing you notice is that it's dinky – about the same lengthwise as an iPhone 5. It's lightweight, too – even packed away in the rather bulky carry case. Button placement on the PlayPad is comfortable, considering its size, and it's covered in a grip-friendly rubberised finish. And unlike most Bluetooth gamepads, the PlayPad serves up the full complement of Xbox controls – dual analogue thumb sliders, a D-pad, two sets of triggers and four buttons.
Nyko PlayPad for Android review – set-up
Nyko's teamed up with Tegra to ensure that games from its Tegrazone Android app store will work out of the box – and that the controller has all the buttons you'll need to play games like GTA III and Shadowgun.
Pairing the Bluetooth controller up with our Transformer Prime was a cinch, and sure enough, Grand Theft Auto III and Riptide GT played fine out of the box on our Asus Transformer Prime – though Shadowgun required a bit of fiddling to set up the controls.
Nyko PlayPad for Android review – gaming
The PlayPad is never going to best a full-size controller in the comfort stakes – it's a little cramped for long gaming sessions, and the trigger buttons are slightly awkwardly placed. For mobile gaming, though, it's streets ahead of touchscreen controls. GTA III and Riptide HD played like a dream – the analogue circle pads adding a physical resistance to the controls that you just don't get with a touchscreen.
Those circle pads aren't perfect, though – compared to the smooth rubberised pads found on Nintendo's 3DS, they feel a bit loose – and the four raised bumps on top look like they'll quickly cause blisters. Their limitations became painfully apparent during a playthrough of Shadowgun, delivering awkward, jerky movements on screen and making targeting tricky.
Nyko PlayPad for Android review – extra features
Nyko has created the free Nyko Playground app, which lets you re-map controls for supported games and create new control setups for unsupported games. Currently in beta, the app's a little clunky to use at the moment – you have to unpair your PlayPad and re-pair it through the app to use it. A future update will, Nyko promises, add the ability to map touchscreen gestures and controls onto the PlayPad.
The controller also features a mouse control mode – which we can't see getting much use, but it's a nice thought.
Nyko PlayPad for Android review – accessories
Packed inside that plus-size case, you get a handy phone stand – which folds out to support heavy tablets, and the world's most absurd micro USB charger.
Yes, we see why Nyko went for the more compact option – most Android gamers will have a micro USB cable knocking around somewhere anyway – but the tiny connector leaves your PlayPad hanging perilously from any USB ports it's connected to.
Nyko PlayPad for Android review – iOS
The PlayPad can be used for some iOS games – with some limitations compared to Android. Flick the switch on top to iCade mode and you can pair the controller with your iPhone or iPad and use it with any iCade supported iOS game. Sadly, that means A-list games like GTA III or N.O.V.A. 3 are off-limits - but there are plenty of retro arcade titles available. As we've said before, Apple needs to up its game with regard to physical controllers.
Nyko PlayPad for Android review – verdict
The Nyko PlayPad is a massive improvement over touchscreen controls – particularly on console ports like GTA III. We like its compact frame, its dual-trigger control layout, and its out of the box support for Tegrazone games in particular. But those floppy analogue pads let the side down. Fix them, and the PlayPad 2 will be an essential purchase for Android gamers.

Its already been stated, you have to go through BT direct, NOT sky. It was also revealed that the channel will infact be in full HD.
Its already been stated, you have to go through BT direct, NOT sky. It was also revealed that the channel will infact be in full HD.
I expect it to be available on both sky and virgin, as espn is now. BT probably offered alot more money than sky. MMA is still a minor sport in this country, too many fight fans think you're gay if you roll around on a mat with another dude??? It probably wasn't top of skys list to pay top $ for events that show at 3am and only a very small percentage of subscribers will be interested at this present moment
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Sky sports were never going to throw cash at UFC for there programming, BT might be the stepping stone that is required before we get UFC on sky sports.
I know what you are saying, just for me, I get my programming mostly via the interwebs anyway these days so channel doesnt really affect me, I am more looking at the point of how many new fans will this really bring, if I was Gary, I'd have gone with a terrestrial channel or something if he couldnt land Sky, BT just doesn't/won't have the exposure I fear to generate any new interest in any great form, but imagine if they had landed a deal with Sky - Fri/Sat nights I think Sky run live WWE, could run off the back of that / at least its a crossover fanbase of sorts to work with, BT are just new boys in the mix, I do like the sound of UFC dedicated shows etc, thats a step in the right direction, but again my concern is more that us fans will watch it anyway, but new fans, wont be many to be found on BT.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
I'm still holding out for the BBC.
Look at it this way Evzy, Gary Cooke who is used to dealing with multi million pound contracts and tenders and dealing with marketable products and has a good understanding of growth for a business. I cant see that he would have made a major error on this when they have been in deep thought about this for months and months. Unless BT go back on their word and don't provide what they should then I think we will see some very good things coming from BT Vision and along with other social/media partners think they will be able to drive the product for existing fans and create a new fanbase also
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
I know what you are saying but I still don't see how going to a platform thats third in the scheme in things (actualyl fourth if you count free digi tv) is the best solution, BT has had its Vision package for years and its done nothing, 18 games of footy and some MMA content won't change that. Setanta tried to take on the Sky monster and look where they ended up, I think if anything the danger is BT overstretching themselves on this, though I suppose the other parts of the telecoms business will be able to support it to some extent. I do like the idea of programming specific to MMA or rather the UFC on BT, I just dont think this will benefit the sport anywhere near as much as going to Sky would have.
Plus Garry Cook, lets not forget how he ended up leaving City etc.. My judgement is out on him still especially after this decision to go with BT, I hope I am proved wrong with it all and BT ends up being an awesome channel, but...I am not holding my breath.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
It's the UFC and I have nothing against Gary Cook, the guy is obviously in that position for a reason. I believe in them and believe this is the right step. Again, your hopes for sky sports was in your head only, they were never, ever gonna put UFC on there channels. It is just not mainstream enough yet. BAMMA on C5 doesnt mean MMA is in the mainstream.
WWE is only live on a monday night. Friday or Saturday is pre-taped from Tuesdays, so its not like the live programming would lead into fans staying round for the UFC, cant see them putting events on after the monday live show, its like 3 or 4 in the morning....It's just not happening anytime soon. BT, the start up channel with lots of money, throws the cash at UFC, promises lots of bespoke UK programming and WALA, deal done!
I say give it time, at least the month of August out of the way and see how they've done!!

We look forward to the publication of the Commission's Judgment. We will study the detailed reasons of the Commission once they become available, but reserve our right to appeal or take any other course of action we feel appropriate with regards to this situation.
We find it extraordinary that Luis can be found guilty on the word of Patrice Evra alone when no-one else on the field of play - including Evra's own Manchester United teammates and all the match officials - heard the alleged conversation between the two players in a crowded Kop goalmouth while a corner kick was about to be taken.
The Club takes extremely seriously the fight against all forms of discrimination and has a long and successful track record in work relating to anti-racist activity and social inclusion. We remain committed to this ideal and equality for all, irrespective of a person's background.
LFC considers racism in any form to be unacceptable - without compromise. It is our strong held belief, having gone over the facts of the case, that Luis Suarez did not commit any racist act. It is also our opinion that the accusation by this particular player was not credible - certainly no more credible than his prior unfounded accusations.
It is key to note that Patrice Evra himself in his written statement in this case said 'I don't think that Luis Suarez is racist'. The FA in their opening remarks accepted that Luis Suarez was not racist.
Luis himself is of a mixed race family background as his grandfather was black. He has been personally involved since the 2010 World Cup in a charitable project which uses sport to encourage solidarity amongst people of different backgrounds with the central theme that the colour of a person's skin does not matter; they can all play together as a team.
He has played with black players and mixed with their families whilst with the Uruguay national side and was Captain at Ajax Amsterdam of a team with a proud multi-cultural profile, many of whom became good friends.
It seems incredible to us that a player of mixed heritage should be accused and found guilty in the way he has based on the evidence presented. We do not recognise the way in which Luis Suarez has been characterised.
It appears to us that the FA were determined to bring charges against Luis Suarez, even before interviewing him at the beginning of November. Nothing we have heard in the course of the hearing has changed our view that Luis Suarez is innocent of the charges brought against him and we will provide Luis with whatever support he now needs to clear his name.
We would also like to know when the FA intend to charge Patrice Evra with making abusive remarks to an opponent after he admitted himself in his evidence to insulting Luis Suarez in Spanish in the most objectionable of terms. Luis, to his credit, actually told the FA he had not heard the insult.

Prince Edward Islanders have increased their satisfaction levels with the Robert Ghiz government, according to the latest poll results from Corporate Research Associates.
A recent CRA survey found over one-half of P.E.I. residents are either completely or mostly satisfied with the overall performance of the government – an increase of 12 points since February.
Meanwhile, the number of Islanders who say they are dissatisfied dropped by 10 points to 41 per cent.
The Ghiz Liberals also held onto their majority support from decided voters in party preference, holding steady at 53 per cent.
The Progressive Conservatives, meanwhile, have moved back into second place, receiving a six-point boost in support this quarter, now standing at 23 per cent.
The PC party has been third behind the uneleceted NDP since August of 2013.
The NDP is now in third place at 21 per cent, down one point this quarter.
The Green party, meanwhile, lost traction, resting at three per cent compared with seven per cent in February.
Liberal Leader Robert Ghiz continues to remain the most popular leader.
Four in ten Islanders surveyed say they prefer Ghiz as premier.
NDP Leader Mike Redmond remains second behind Ghiz in personal support, but went down by two points since the last poll, standing now at 17 per cent..
Interim PC Leader Steven Myers gained three points now has the personal support of 12 per cent of Islanders.
Peter Bevan-Baker of the Green Party stands at six per cent, while eight per cent of Islanders prefer none of P.E.I.'s current political party leaders.
These results are based on a sample of 300 adult Islanders, surveyed by telephone between May 8 to May 22.
Overall results are considered accurate to within plus or minus 5.7 percentage points, 95 out of 100 times.
The margin of error for voters who said which political party they prefer is higher, as it is based on a sample size of 180 voters. Party results are considered accurate to within plus or minus 7.3 per cent.

Mosquito Stopper
By Earnie
from New Hampton, NH
Mosquitos can bight thru the netting if it is against your skin. As long as the netting is sliding on your skin from movement, they can't bite.I didn't know if it was working or not until I stoped for a break and noticed the cloud of frustrated mosquitos surrounding me. It was working GREAT. Well worth the price.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not for serious use
By Chanterelle Michelle
from PEI, Canada
About Me Casual Dresser
I am a hobby forager - chanterelle mushrooms- which I sell to local restaurants. I had great hopes for the functionality of this product in the deep woods. I did not go "commando". With just a sleeveless shirt underneath. And I got bit through the mesh any where it was on my skin (forearms and upper back below yoke). Disappointed as I'll have wear a jacket under the jacket in 80 heat. Also first unzipped the hood zipper broke. My husband repaired track with pliers and we secured with thread do it won't come off track. My old "hunting style". Tent like jacket. Though no style does a better job. But it looks pretty and fits like a hoodie I guess are the good things.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

An easy protection from those biting insects
By Margie
from Midcoast Maine
For a gardener or walking in the warm weather woods, this hooded "mosquito" (great against black flies and deer flies too) jacket is comfortable full protection. It does not inhibit ones sight at all. A real boon to those who love the out of doors.

No More Mosquitos and Nats
By Gardener
from Bethesda, Maryland
The jacket size definitely needs to be a size larger than you normally wear so the mosquitos and other flying insects do not come close to your skin and bite. My size is a female petite medium and I ordered the large/x-large. It fits as it should. I am able to wear a garden hat and place the hood of the jacket over it comfortably. You will feel very wet, like having been in a sauna, after wearing the jacket for some time in hot weather, but it definitely keeps the mosquitos and other flying insects away from your face and arms. I am so happy this product is available!
A lifesaver this wet summer
By Ron
from Stanley, NY
This mosquito mesh jacket eliminates the need for chemical sprays although it is a bit trickey to see the zipper ends once on. The use of a wide brimmed hat keeps the head mesh at a distance from the face.
Keep the bugs off! tThis really works and isn't cumbersome.
from Scott, AR
I use this jacket while out early in morning or at dusk also while weeding my flower beds or garden. Flying bugs are bad this year and this jacket lets air flow, has zippers for easy access to my face and pockets. Would recommend this to anyone that hates to get bugs in your mouth or ears and doesn't like to overuse chemical repellents.
No Bites
By no
from Pocono's Penna.
I worked in to clean up our hunting camp Full of new under and over growth.Head piece stad in place as well as the sleeves and waist did also.
No longer bug bit or slathered with DEET.
By Bugaboo
from Marietta, GA
I live in GA where mosquitoes abound and yard work guarantees being bitten unless one is willing to slather himself with chemicals to ward off the insects. In so doing, one becomes the recipient of noxious chemicals by way of skin infusion. Hence, ward off the mosquitoes while accepting toxins on one's skin, or use avoidance of the mosquitoes by way of the garment and retain your health. Is it fashionable? No. Health first; fashion last.
Mosquito Jacket
By alice in HHI
from Hilton Head Island, SC
its working so far to keep insects from biting. but it does make me hotter than without wearing it.
Wow, what a difference
By staying warm
from Alaska
This insect blocking jacket may have just changed my life. Being an avid hiker in swamp land, I am tired of slathering toxic repellent on my skin & clothes. If you take care to keep the netting from laying flat on your exposed skin, this jacket works like a dream. The elastic around waist is a little too snug for my shape, allowing the jacket to scoot up above hips, thus exposing lower back when bending over, but otherwise- it is a winner!
