Moving Forward
By now I am sure you have heard that the Board of Trustees voted to affirm the University's recommendation to accept the $483 million bid submitted by QIC Global Infrastructure.
This agreement to lease our parking operations is expected to be effective in early October. We will be quickly engaging in significant discussions with QIC, their operating partner LAZ, and the recently formed CampusParc, which will be QIC's local entity responsible for the overall agreement and management of the operation.
Through these discussions, we will identify a series of next steps and put together a detailed plan to ensure this transition is smooth and transparent to those who work and park at Ohio State.
You may be aware that Columbus native and OSU alumnus Bill Lhota has agreed to serve as the Chair of the Board of CampusParc. We are pleased with this decision and look forward to working with a team led by someone with a unique understanding of the University and regional transportation, parking and planning in central Ohio.
While this transition means a new way of managing our parking operations, the potential benefits for every segment of our University community are tremendous. We will communicate whenever necessary, but overall, you should expect business as usual with our parking system.
After the transition, we will have measures in place to get feedback from you and track the overall quality of the parking operations to make certain the detailed operating standards in the contract are upheld. Our goal, in coordination with QIC, LAZ and CampusParc, is to manage a transition and operations that ensure you receive the high level of service that you expect from Ohio State's parking system.

Golden State Warriors 7-footer Andrew Bogut, limited to only four games this season because of a nagging left ankle, is aiming to be in the lineup Monday (7 p.m. ET) against the Toronto Raptors, barring any pregame setbacks, the San Jose Mercury News reported.
The newspaper reported that Bogut was wearing his reversible practice jersey with the blue side out—reserved for the team's starters—during the morning's shootaround at Air Canada Centre.
Multiple unidentified sources cited by the Mercury News said Bogut is planning to give it ago.
However, Warriors coach Mark Jackson maintained his stance that Bogut would come back when he is ready.
Bogut and the team haven't discussed his recovery since the news in late November that April surgery on his left ankle included a microfracture procedure.
Acquired in March in the blockbuster trade that sent Monta Ellis to the Milwaukee Bucks, Bogut has played only 73 minutes this season, totaling 24 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks.
He hasn't played since Nov. 8, missing 38 games in the process.
According to the Mercury News, the 7-1 Bogut's return would be timely. Golden State has given up 57 second-chance points in its past two games as teams with big frontcourts have exploited the Warriors' smallish lineup.
Jackson is expected to be conservative with Bogut's minutes when he returns.

I am new to the sport (4-5 Months) and I am flustered. I have been ball golfing for 16 years (Started when I was 5) so I got that down, I am good at it and not being good at this is frustrating. I know its early very very early. But thats not the point of this post.
Today I finally gave up on my back hand drives, They go to high and hyzer out. When I catch it right I can throw close to 350. But Ive lost to many discs and its to inconsistent.
So I went to the fore hand and I must say I am doing much better with it. Is it a mistake to abandon the backhand drive? I can throw backhand approaches but is it a mistake to ditch it to early?

Kazmir voices frustration with ump's strike zone
Players said Davis was reprimanded for making faces at dugout the day before
ANAHEIM -- The A's Scott Kazmir called out crew chief Gerry Davis following Sunday's 8-1 loss to the Angels, believing he was intentionally squeezed on several calls in a six-run second inning in which the left-hander walked four.
MLB did not issue an official statement, but A's players told reporters that Davis was reprimanded by MLB for making faces at Oakland's dugout the night before. Kazmir, who allowed six runs in just 1 1/3 innings, specifically questioned Davis' professionalism and wondered out loud whether the reprimand impacted his calling of Sunday's game.
"It's late August, a tough time of year for anyone in the game, it really is," said Kazmir. "But it's important to rise above any personal issue and call a fair game. We owe it to the game to do that, we really do. And what I saw in the video were 10-plus pitches that I felt were right there. I don't know if it had something to do with last night, since he got reprimanded, but just professionalism is something I have an issue with. No matter what happens on the field, some things are just unacceptable."
Manager Bob Melvin voiced his displeasure with Davis in the middle of the inning and was subsequently ejected, and catcher Derek Norris expressed sentiments similiar to Kazmir's after the game.
"It seemed like he made consecutive pitches over and over again that weren't getting called," said Norris. "There were countless times I felt like I really didn't move at all, and anyone who watches me catch knows I'm not really a corner splitter. I don't split the plate. I try and set up on the outer third, and it allows them a little bit more room to miss. I like to force early contact for that reason alone. And he wasn't budging.
"That's really all I got. That's really all I can say right now."
"It's one thing if you're erratic all over the place and you expect to get a pitch like that," said Kazmir. "But when you constantly pitch inside and hit your spots and have nothing to show for it ... it's really, really frustrating."

3rd Annual Crab Trap Cleanup Clears More Than 3,000 Traps
AUSTIN, Texas — With the close of the third annual crab trap cleanup, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and hundreds of volunteers have removed at least 3,571 abandoned or lost traps from the Texas coast, with a few results still coming in. The number is a slight dip from last year's total of 3,838.
"There are fewer traps to be found because of past efforts, but there are still traps out in bays that we still need to get to," said Art Morris, crab trap cleanup coordinator. "We have removed roughly 15,500 traps during the three cleanups and the bays are looking better and better all the time. Thanks to the volunteers, we're making a significant impact on the problem."
The abandoned wire mesh cages continue to kill crabs, fish and other aquatic life as long as they are on the ocean floor. Additionally, the traps can be a hazard to navigation, foul shrimpers' nets and snag fishermens' lines.
Until the 77th Legislature created the abandoned crab trap removal program, only the trap's owner or a TPWD game warden could legally remove an abandoned crab trap. With this authority and Senate Bill 607 passed by the 78th Legislature that defines a trap as abandoned on the first day of the closure, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission last fall adopted a permanent 10-day closure to occur on the third Friday of February of each year. From Feb. 20-29, all Texas coastal waters were closed to crabbing with traps to allow TPWD staff and volunteers to scour the bays in an attempt to remove the traps.
Volunteers had several interesting finds during their cleanup. The oldest trap was marked with a metal tag from the license year 1992, and the Aransas Bay crew found live hard coral growing on several traps seven miles from the Gulf jetties. One trap collected in Corpus Christi Bay, covered with oysters and barnacles, contained seven toadfish, nine sheepshead, six gray snapper, four black drum and three spadefish.
The preliminary cleanup results show 311 volunteers worked with TPWD to clean up the Texas coast. Following are total traps collected in each area.
- Aransas Bay — 114
- Corpus Christi Bay — 72
- Galveston Bay — 1,264
- Lower Laguna Madre — 1
- Matagorda Bay — 452
- Sabine Lake — 128
- San Antonio Bay — 1,537
- Upper Laguna Madre — 3
The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration Restoration Center and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Coastal Program have provided grants to the crab trap removal program. Additional help has come from the Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program, Regional Steel, Best Manufacturing and numerous organizations and companies like CCA Texas, SCA Texas, SALT, the Texas General Land Office and others volunteering their services.

Daylight Saving Time Ends This Weekend
Remember to Check Your Emergency Supply Kit
Daylight Saving Time – it affects us and our clocks every spring and fall. "Spring forward, fall back" is the saying we learned as children, a simple way to remember to move our clocks ahead one hour each spring and to turn them back one hour in the fall.
Thanks to public education by fire and rescue officials, we also know that we should change the batteries in our smoke detectors every six months, and a good way to remember to do that is to coincide with the end of Daylight Saving Time, which occurs this weekend.
To continue the theme of personal preparedness, the Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management encourages residents to check their emergency supply kits in their homes, office and cars this weekend, and to replenish them as necessary.
"While we're in the mode of thinking preparedness by changing our smoke detector batteries, let's also check our emergency supply kits," said Roy Shrout, acting coordinator of emergency management for Fairfax County. "Perhaps we've used all the water from our home kit, or we gave the kids the granola bars out of our car kit during our last vacation. Whatever the reason, residents need to keep their emergency supply kits current and fully stocked to be ready to be self-sufficient for a minimum of three days."
For more information about emergency supply kits, contact the Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management at 703-324-2362, TTY 711, or visit the Fairfax County Government emergency information Web page at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/emergency or the Ready America Web page at www.ready.gov/america/.
Recommended Items to Include in a Basic Emergency Supply Kit:
- Water – one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for both drinking and sanitation.
- Food – at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food, such as ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables; protein or fruit bars; dry cereal; peanut butter; nuts; crackers; and canned juices.
- Flashlight and extra batteries.
- Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both.
- First-aid kit.
- Whistle to signal for help.
- Dust mask, to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place.
- Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation.
- Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities.
- Can opener for food (if kit contains canned food).
- Local maps.
Additional Items to Consider Adding to an Emergency Supply Kit:
- Prescription medications, eye glasses, contact lenses and supplies and denture needs.
- Infant formula, powdered milk, bottles, diapers, diaper rash ointment, medications and moist towelettes.
- Pet food and extra water for your pet.
- Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, identification, bank account records and Medicare cards in a waterproof, portable container.
- Cash or traveler's checks and change.
- Emergency reference material such as a first-aid book.
- Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person.
- Complete change of clothing including a long-sleeved shirt, long pants and sturdy shoes.
- Household chlorine bleach and medicine dropper – When diluted nine parts water to one part bleach, bleach can be used as a disinfectant. Or in an emergency, you can use it to treat water by using 16 drops of regular household liquid bleach per gallon of water. Do not use scented, color safe or bleaches with added cleaners.
- Fire extinguisher.
- Matches in a waterproof container.
- Feminine supplies and personal hygiene items.
- Mess kits, paper towels, paper cups, plates and plastic utensils.
- Paper, pens and/or pencils.
- Books, games, puzzles or other activities for children.
Additional Supplies for People With Disabilities:
- Prescription medicines, list of medications including dosage and list of any allergies.
- Extra eyeglasses and hearing-aid batteries.

England stood by their united assurances that Alastair Cook is still the man to lead them forward, by confirming him as captain for the third Investec Test against India.
Cook's was the most notable of two names - uncapped wicketkeeper Jos Buttler's was the other - which immediately caught the eye, for very different reasons, in a 13-man squad announced on Tuesday.
Many have contended, especially after two more failures at the top of the order as England went 1-0 down at Lord's, that Cook needs a break from his exacting responsibilities.
The 29-year-old emerged from a 95-run defeat, however, proclaiming his determination to carry on and try to put his stamp on England's 'new era' alongside returning coach Peter Moores.
After several hours of deliberation from the selectors, it emerged he will be granted that opportunity in Southampton.
England will therefore pick 11 on Sunday from a largely familiar list, notwithstanding a Lord's result which national selector James Whitaker acknowledged was "very disappointing".
Buttler is the fresh face set for a debut, after Matt Prior ruled himself out for the remainder of the summer in order to address a series of injury worries - chiefly an Achilles problem, which is likely to require surgery.
Moores, picking up the pieces after England's Ashes whitewash last winter, has no doubt Cook is the man to help him do so - despite their stuttering start together.
"I think he's showing as a captain that he's developing quickly, in a time of real adversity.
"He will make mistakes - we all do.
"The question is 'can he be the captain who can take the team forward in the long term?'
"Can he be that man? In my opinion, yes, and so I'm going to support him through that."
England have begun the summer with defeat in all three formats to Sri Lanka, and must now recover from one down with three Tests to play against India.
Moores insists, however, that Cook's appetite for the challenge has never faltered.
He said: "Alastair is not naive. He's been around international sport long enough.
"He understands it's a tough time, and there are areas he'll get better - and I think he can feel he's getting better.
"He's not a finished article ... (but) he's determined to be part of it, and I think that's the right decision for English cricket."
The Lord's setback, featuring the loss of six wickets for 50 runs to Ishant Sharma just when it seemed England might have a chance of pulling off their second-highest all-time run chase, was dispiriting.
"When you lose a game like that, you feel gutted," added Moores.
"You've put a lot into the game, and you know the players have as well."
He is confident nonetheless that Cook will respond admirably.
"He's resilient. He's strong. He's disappointed," Moores said.
"He'd set his stall out, when we were set a score to win the game, that he was going to be the man who was going to do that.
"There was a strong will in the ground, and across the country, for him to do it - but it didn't happen.
"He's played sport long enough to know it doesn't always happen how you want, but he's determined to be a part of building a team for the future - and that's what we're trying to do."
Moores knew when he took the job for the second time in his career that he faced a significant challenge.
"I didn't expect it to be easy, because there were some obvious areas of concern for us," he said.
"We'd lost some key players ... our job is to try to fix those things."
He will do so by using stick and carrot - a method already employed, by the sounds of it, with England's bowlers after they failed to bowl India out cheaply in their first innings on a green pitch at HQ.
"Crikey, we all need a kick up the backside sometimes - and we also sometimes need a pat on the back," he said.
"If you think it's a wasted opportunity because people aren't trying, you're going to kick them up the backside - because they're not putting in.
"If you think they're trying, but can't put the ball in the right area for whatever reason ... then you've got to try to help them put that right."
James Anderson and Stuart Broad remain the frontline pace pair, but with four less experienced contenders included as other options.
"The Test matches we've played this year have been pretty brutal," said Moores.
"Jimmy's always bowled a lot of overs, and managed ... that's one of his great strengths, great rhythm, and he tends to put slightly less strain on his body.
"I think Stuart has definitely had some (injury) issues.
"How that will impact over the summer, we'll have to see.
"We all know Test cricket is a challenge the longer you're in it.
"What has got to happen is the senior players have got to look at their own games and decide how they are going to come back and play to the level needed to be in a successful England team.
"As selectors, we've got to pick the guys we think can achieve that."
Buttler revealed his delight at getting the call "sooner than I expected" but reckoned it more than justified his move from his home county of Somerset up to Lancashire.
"It is a dream come true," the Taunton-born player told Lancashire's website. "I'm sure it won't sink in until I meet up with everyone and Sunday morning comes. Obviously, I'm really excited and nervous as well, but that's to be expected. I can't wait for it to be Sunday now.
"It's been a long-term goal and ambition. It's probably come sooner than I imagined as well, which is great for me. It shows that I've been going in the right direction and improving fast, which I feel I've done this year at Lancashire.
"I still feel like I've got improvements to make, but it's great that I've been named in the squad. I can't wait to get started.
"It was a really tough decision to leave Somerset, who helped me a lot, but with my long-term goal being Test cricket, I knew I had to leave. I guess it's justified it, and it's justified it pretty quickly.
"I didn't expect to be playing Test cricket this quickly, but in sport opportunities come in different ways and at different times, and I'm delighted."

Check out the PureFlow 6➤Shoe Finder | Men's Neutral Running Shoes
$100.00 $65.00
Embrace lightweight without losing cushion in the get-up-and-go PureFlow 3. We've fine-tuned features like a more rounded heel, sculpted the medial side while integrating a wider Nav Band, and repositioned the Toe Flex to better align your stride. So all you feel is that sweet cushion, and all you need is the open road.
We're not the only people going with the Flow: Runner's World Magazine named the PureFlow 3 its "Best Update" in their March 2014 issue. The editors praised new design for its smoother landing, more flexibility in the forefoot, and improved fit; calling the PureFlow 3 "a bargain-priced trainer that handles a lot of miles."
Just like our core line, we hold PureProject to the industry's highest weartest and durability standards. Because of their lightweight construction and fewer materials, runners should generally expect shoes from the PureProject line to last approximately 250-300 miles.

- No-sew overlays give ultimate comfort
DNA Midsole
An innovative cushioning system that adapts to runners of all sizes and speeds, providing a custom ride.Learn more
Rounded Heel
The slight curve of the heel aligns force through the center of your ankle joint, reducing internal stress on your body.Learn more
What is it?
Brooks DNA is an innovative and uniquely adaptive cushioning system. By adapting to your specific weight, pace, gait and running surface, DNA offers customized cushioning and adds a spring to your step.
Traditional cushioning takes a one-size-fits-all approach, but we know that each runner is different. Brooks DNA was developed to continuously tailor the level of cushioning to your specific needs – even as they change during the run.
How does it work?
Brooks DNA is made up of a non-Newtonian material or more simply put, a material that adapts to the specific force you apply to it. Part of the brilliance is that this compound was engineered to perform at the molecular level (picture millions of resilient 'nanosprings').
If you looked at Brooks DNA through a microscope, you'd see that it's made up of individual molecules connected in strands. These strands (which form chains) react to the amount of force placed on the foot, dispersing pressure and providing resiliency. Bottom line of this physics lesson: You get tailored cushioning that reacts to your specific weight, pace, gait, movement and running environment – "made-for-me" cushioning vs. "one size fits all."
And, as with all good technology, we've taken it a step further (two steps actually):
- BioMoGo DNA is DNA technology blended with the BioMoGo midsole to provide adaptive cushioning throughout the midsole vs. just in the heel and forefoot.
- BioMoGo DNA midsole includes an organic, non-toxic additive that biodegrades the midsole 50 times faster than traditional EVA when it comes into contact with anaerobic landfill microbes (otherwise known as active, enclosed landfills).
- 30% more cushioning than standard midsole materials (gel or EVA)
- Twice as much energy return for more pep in your step
- Great performance no matter your weight or running pace
- Smoother transition from heel to toe
What is it?
"Rounded Heel" is just a fancy name that we like to use for the rounded and reduced heel on our shoes. The slight curvature in the heel vastly improves the alignment of your body, encouraging a more efficient stride.
How does it work?
It's really quite simple. The curvature in the heel works to align the body by shifting the contact point forward. As you hit the ground there is a greater clearance distance under the middle of your heel, which aligns force through the center of your ankle, thus reducing internal stress on your body.

Topic: Update on our son, Jeff
Hello CC Family,
We haven't posted on Jeff in a while. His last PET/CT in the end of June was bad. Disease has progressed & Taxol was ineffective for Jeff. Our ONC put him on Tarceva. He has developed the bad facial rash that is typical for this drug.
He has lost a lot of weight (& didn't have much to lose to start with). Get's pretty fatigued. Still does not seem to need pain meds. Not very much ambulation. Most waking hours spent in chair or wheelchair. He has just started to develop bed sores. Nancy and I are trying to manage this new challenge.
He still wants to go in to work & is able to get in most weekdays or 1 to 3 hours. Again his employer has been unbelievably supportive throughout this process. Jeff continues to amaze us with his positive attitude.
Next PET/CT in a few weeks hope & pray for better news.
Please keep our Jeff in your thoughts & prayers along with everyone else in this very special CC Family.
God Bless.
Bob & Nancy

A few days ago, I published an open letter to pharma about employing a Wikipedian and that letter received quite huge feedback including hundreds of tweets and some interesting blog posts.
John Mack, author of PharmaGuy, invited me to participate in a podcast on the 17th of July:
Pharma does not have a stellar record when it comes to editing Wikipedia articles. See, for example, "Simply Irresistible: Abbott Tampering with Wikipedia Entries" and "Web 2.0 Pharma Marketing Tricks for Dummies." So it's no surprise that this raises a number of interesting issues that were hotly debated during a recent #hcsmeu Twitter chat. That discussion will be continued in a Pharma Marketing Talk podcast on Tuesday, July 17, 2012. You are invited to listen or call in with your opinions. For more information, go here.
Until then, you can fill in a short survey about this issue on his blog.

Along with the same easy-to-use print tab in the backstage view that made its debut in other Office applications in Office 2010, Visio now lets you print in the background so you can continue working while your diagram is printing. All this means fewer trips to the printer, less wasted paper, less time waiting, and more time doing what you love doing–creating awesome diagrams in Visio!
The Print tab
In the new Visio we have improved the printing experience by consolidating the settings and the preview in the backstage view. This simplifies printing, and in fewer clicks you can make changes to settings and see a live print preview.
The Print tab is divided into two panes, the settings pane on the left and the preview pane on the right. The printing experience is streamlined and simple–it lets you get to the most common actions more quickly, while retaining all of the printing power of Visio that you are used to.
The Print Settings pane
The settings pane on the left of the print pane allows you to print using the smart defaults, or quickly customize and set various printer settings before you print. The pane shows various galleries that include the current settings and options to modify them. These are printer settings you are probably familiar with, streamlined into a simpler interface. You can click on the big Print button to print your diagram if you are happy with the preview and with all your settings.
The Print Preview pane
The Print Preview pane is new to Visio, and we have already heard from early customers that they love the new experience. Here is the sample preview, with the Paper Size set to Envelope and the Orientation set to Portrait.
In the Print Preview pane, you can:
- Pan across a diagram using the icon or the mouse left-click and drag.
- Switch across pages or zoom in or out from a diagram using the controls at the bottom of the preview pane.
- Pan and zoom to the page level by double-clicking any tile, then using Shift + arrow keys to move across the page.
- Fit the drawing to the preview pane by clicking to the right of the zoom control using the icon.
- Toggle page breaks and see how pages will look by clicking to the left of the zoom control using the icon. This feature is unique to Visio among the Office applications, and it shows you how the pages will look when laid out next to each other.
Background printing
While the Print tab in the backstage view in the new Visio is all about the WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) printing experience, the second big change in printing in the new Visio is all about giving you back time. Like its other Office counterparts, the new Visio now supports background printing – in fact it is the default.
So, you can now hit Print, and you will be brought back to your drawing canvas while your print-out is sent to the printer.
A few details on the printing in background experience:
- If you decide to close Visio after clicking Print, Visio will wait for the printout to be queued before exiting.
- Visio supports printing multiple diagrams in the background, and these are all sent to the printer, letting you focus on building those diagrams.
- Visio defaults to background printing, but automatically turns it off if you are on a device with limited memory.
- The status bar will display the status of jobs that are printing in the background.
Tell us what you think
In the new Visio, you can customize your most important print settings quickly, see these changes in real-time in the preview window, and then fire off that print-out and immediately get back to your work.
Take the new Visio printing experience out for a spin and write to us with any questions, comments or feedback!

My Reasons for Reporting This


text: George Hohmann: UMW launches campaign over benefits By George Hohmann January 12, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The United Mine Workers of America began running television spots in the St. Louis market last Monday explaining how, in its view, Peabody Energy, Arch Coal and Patriot Coal conspired to shed their obligations to provide health-care benefits for retirees and widows.Peabody spun off Patriot in 2007. Patriot later acquired mines that Arch spun off into Magnum Coal. Patriot filed bankruptcy in July and is reorganizing.In November the union won its effort to move the bankruptcy case from federal court in New York City. The case was shifted to St. Louis, the headquarters of Peabody, Arch and Patriot.The union's initial television spot can be seen online at http://tinyurl.com/b2jt7sj. More about the union's campaign is online at www.fairnessatpatriot.org.*Following news stories about employment losses in West Virginia and migration out of the state last year, West Virginia Chamber of Commerce President Steve Roberts sent a letter to all members of the Legislature urging them to move quickly on an agenda that includes education reforms, fair trials, transportation, energy and health-care issues."Our members employ over half of the workforce in West Virginia which leaves us uniquely positioned to address issues around workforce readiness and our economy," Roberts wrote. *Chesapeake Energy Corp., a major participant in the Marcellus Shale natural gas field in West Virginia, plans to slash its charitable spending, according to The Wall Street Journal.The company spent more than $56 million on charities between 2010 and 2011, according to The Journal. Chesapeake's decision to scale back support of nonprofits can't be good news for schools and other community organizations the company has supported in the Northern Panhandle.*After watching the "Pipestem Trout Wrangler" episode of "Fly Rod Chronicles" on the Outdoor Channel, my wife asked when I plan to fish those waters in Summers County.Well, soon!But I am skeptical that I will have as much luck as the show's host, Curtis Fleming, who pulled one big trout after another out of the Bluestone River. My impression of the show: It was a wee bit over the top. This impression began when the episode opened by explaining to viewers that access to the river is by horseback.I don't doubt the horseback option is offered. It certainly would be a memorable experience. But I don't think the show ever mentioned that you also can access the Bluestone via Pipestem Resort State Park's aerial tramway.From this fisherman's perspective, the fact that the tramway is available means the water isn't quite as remote and inaccessible as viewers might have been led to believe.Don't get me wrong. "Pipestem Trout Wrangler" was an enjoyable half-hour of TV. But I do believe it may have set some unrealistic expectations.Contact writer George Hohmann at email@example.com.

Fredi stepping away for daughter's graduation
SAN FRANCISCO -- Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez will miss Friday and Saturday's games against the Giants while attending daughter Gigi's graduation from Georgia Southern University.
"You've got to do it," Gonzalez said. "I'm so proud of her."
With his daughter's graduation scheduled for Saturday at 9 a.m. ET, Gonzalez could not manage Friday night's game and then travel cross country in time to be present for the ceremonies, which will likely conclude four or five hours before the Braves begin Saturday afternoon's game in San Francisco.
Gonzalez will fly from San Francisco to Atlanta early Friday morning and then catch a connecting flight to Savannah, Ga. before driving another 45 minutes to Statesboro, Ga. He will fly back to San Francisco Saturday night and be present for Sunday's series finale against the Giants.
"I got a text from [Gigi] the other day saying this degree is yours and mom's for helping me get through college," Gonzalez said. "I'm real excited to see her."
Carlos Tosca will serve as Braves manager on Friday and Saturday. Tosca went 191-191 as Toronto's manager from 2002-04. He has served as Gonzalez's bench coach during each of the past seven seasons.

Deep in the shadowy foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains lies a dying town....
My name is Amelia Gray. They call me The Graveyard Queen. I've been commissioned to restore an old cemetery in Asher Falls, South Carolina, but I'm coming to think I have another purpose here.
Why is there a cemetery at the bottom of Bell Lake? Why am I drawn time and again to a hidden grave I've discovered in the woods? Something is eating away at the soul of this town - this withering kingdom - and it will only be restored if I can uncover the truth.
©2012 Amanda Stevens (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
"Creepy in a good way."
Really good second book in the Graveyard Queen series. I really like how the story unfolds for Amelia, how she discovers the towns secrets and how they effect her. At times it's a little predictable but getting there is a treat. Amelia and Thane are interesting and likeable and finding out how they've been manipulated is a very good read.
Khristine Hvam does a great narration but then I knew that from the Jane Yellowrock books she also narrates. I don't know a thing about a southern accent but I like to think that it's as Khristine represents it. In these books the accent makes the story all the creepier. I certainly hope they stick with her for the narration of the third book, The Prophet. Hopefully it will show up on audible soon.
I love being swept away by a new romance and thankfully Audible's ever growing Library means I get to indulge myself over and over again
"Good continuation - but....."
Good second book in the series which sees another graveyard needing restoring by Amelia but this one has some creepy surprises in store for her. Along with the plot, which is dark and creepy, it also tells us more of Amelia's beginnings and thus why she can see ghosts. However, there just wasn't enough romance in it for me to enjoy fully.
Worth my credit? Mmmm again, 50/50 I will continue with this series now I am 2 books invested into it but if I hadn't ever started the series then it would be a no.
"Good story but not enough romance for me"
Amelia Gray is on a new assignment in this book, she was commissioned to restore a cemetery in Asher Falls, South Carolina. Something about this assignment is suspicious. There is a lot of mystery to the town and the townspeople are very reticent to outsiders. She makes a handful of friends, most importantly Thane Asher and a stray dog she adopts and names Angus.
The biggest mystery she uncovers is her past connection to this town and we learn she was lured here because of her past.
This book was plot-driven and the romance was collateral. I was looking for a replacement for Devlin (her guy in book 1) and it didn't have enough of real romance to make me happy.
It is a well written book though.
"Second Book in Series Delivers Chills"
'The Kingdom' is the second book of Amanda Steven's 'Graveyard Queen' series. This gothic novel continues the story of Amelia Grey who restores old southern graveyards. She also has the ability to see ghosts. In this book, Amelia finds out the truth about this ability as she works to restore the old cemetery in Asher Falls, South Carolina which is in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
This story brought chills to my spine. The secrets of the spooky small town, the frightened townspeople that inhabit this town, the back story of the previous book in this series work together well to create the eerie feelings necessary to bring my mind to such a place.
For the most part the continuity, the ability of this author to get me to suspend disbelief is done very well but occasionally it just barely missed causing me to have questions; overall, though, I thought this story engrossing and believable.
i recommend this book for those who enjoy reading horror and suspense.
"Good story continues from "The Restorer""
Should read "The Restorer" first, then this book, then "The Prophet". If you like the first book, you'll like all three. All of them are a little spooky, as you would expect, if the main character can see the spirits of the lingering dead. I enjoyed them all, and hope the series continues.
Western North Carolina Geek trapped in the triangle. Love to get lost in a good epic fantasy/horror book anytime.
"Awesome book & series"
Great series. Really enjoyed this book. Author did an awesome job of portraying each character. Narrator also did amazing job. I never lost interest. Thank God for the Carolinas.
"Each book is the better than the last."
Like the first book, it had a slow start but it had just enough intrigue to keep me listen. By the end of the book I couldn't wait to get the next. One of the few ghost series out there that actually has a different take rather than the obvious and predicable plots.
Nurse, mom, loved to read....but now I love to listen. When I retire I hope to hear waves crashing in 1 ear and audible in the other!
"A perfect halloween ghost story!"
This is #2 of the series and I loved it. Spooky and ghostly, perfect for Halloween! Amelia can see ghosts and she restores cemeteries and now we know why. This is the story of her birth plus a little evil in the mix. Beautiful southern narration, Amelia lives in Charleston.
"This one is scarier than the first"
I was disappointed that Devlin was not a major player in this book. However, it explained a lot about Amelia's background and why she can see ghost. I found this book scarier than the first and can't wait to start the third one!
"interesting twists"
I would recommend this book. It is a light read with an interesting plot twist.
The Restorer .. really like nothing else I've read. Its got some romance and ghosts.
I really liked the narrator. I'm picky about the voices I listen to.
The run from the mansion.

What Are Myvouchercodes Playing At And Should I Be Concerned?
Posted 28 March 2012 - 08:46 AM
(I'll use "my site" instead of putting my url in case it's best that way)
My site name - MyVoucherCodes
www.myvouchercodes.co.uk/discounts/my site.co.uk
When I click this link the page that opens proclaims
my site name Voucher Codes 2012
Active my site name Promotional Voucher Codes & Discounts 2012
The entire page is then populated with adverts for all the affiliates related to my site's content including many I am affiliated to. This practice is in my opinion trying to hi-jack people looking for my site with a false promise they will find voucher codes. Once on the page they may well be tempted to use one of their affiliates instead of mine.
Bizarrely, right at the bottom they have a link to my site though it's a no follow and not a direct link.
My questions, which I hope to find an answer for, are, is this something I should complain to them about or something I should brush off as inconsequential? Is it something Google would frown upon?
Many thanks
Posted 28 March 2012 - 01:24 PM
If you have established trademark value in your site name you can issue a cease-and-desist letter to the Website owner. If they are unresponsive or you cannot find out how to contact them, you have the option of complaining to their hosting provider and/or to the advertising networks.
If you have NOT established trademark value, I'm not sure you can do anything.

Car Craft Summer Nationals, July 18-20, 2014 Presented by Chevrolet Performance

The event is part of Friday Night Headlights, an afterhours series of happening starting at 5:45 pm on Friday night of the show.

On Saturday, you can cast your vote for the Pro Builder of the Year and again meet girls like Linda Vaughn and have her sign an autograph at the Chevrolet Performance tent. The burnout contest is at 5:00 pm in the infield and again on Sunday 12:30 on Sunday.
The Miss Car Craft finals are held at the main stage on Sunday at 2:30, right before the participants awards ceremony. Join us for the last day of the show, Sunday July 20, 2014 and see more than 6,000 street machines and meet every car guy in a 1,000 mile radius. It's what to do in Minnesota.

Here Are Some 'Cleavage Cupcakes'
I was shopping in Boc on Broadway last weekend and started giggling upon seeing the product featured at left. (Boobs are funny, right?) Cleavage Cupcakes are silicone gel inserts for giving the girls a bit of a lift. While the name–and concept, really–are silly, it's a lot better name than "chicken cutlets," which is what these gel inserts are sometimes called. After all, cupcakes are super trendy right now.
Commando, the company that makes these, also makes "Takeouts," a larger version, as well as "Top Hats" and "Low Beams" two nipple-concealing products. Read More

Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Reviews
Lip InjectionThis does absolutely nothing! It tasted weird, and it did not plump my lips or lines from years of smoking (which I quit) Also, like other lip plumpers, it has a tingly feeling which I don't like. Don't waste your money on this product. — 5 years, 2 months agoCaroleVonAllten | 1401 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 11 of 12 people said helpful
Not badOne of the most in-demand products available in the beauty industry are lip plumpers. We all seek fuller lips without having to splurge on risky cosmetic surgery. However, we usually become disappointed with the temporary and mostly unnoticeable effects of lip plumpers. Too Face Lip Injection Extreme promises to plump the lips for an effect that lasts several hours; but what sets it aside is its p...read moreromise to offer long-term results with faithful use. The instructions recommend you use it twice a day, in the morning when you're getting ready (to give it some time while you're working on your routine) and at night before you go to bed. If you have ever used a lip plumper, you may be used to the tingling feeling. This is definitely a different feeling than other lip plumpers though. I quite like the feeling that Buxom lip gloss gives your lips. That is definitely more of a tingling feeling. However, the Lip Injection Extreme is more of a stinging feeling than anything. The Buxom gloss tingling is quite strong and the Lip Injection extreme is just a little stronger, but it's not bad if you're used to Buxom already. After a few uses, it won't sting as much to wear it bothers you. If you've never used a lip plumper before, this might be WAY TOO intense for you. Try the original Lip Injection glosses instead. The Lip Injection Extreme also causes an increase in blood flow which causes a increase in color to your lips. I like that this gloss can be worn alone, or under other lip gloss and doesn't feel sticky. This gloss also hydrates and doesn't dry my lips out. I've been using it for a couple weeks now and it's hard to say whether it's doing much of anything on its own because I also happen to use the Buxom glosses during the day. After using both glosses, I have noticed that my lip lines are more plumped out for longer throughout the day. I have noticed that I do get MUCH fuller lips using the Buxom glosses, as opposed to the Lip Injection Extreme. However, I must consider the possibility that the Buxom gloss works so well because the Lip Injection Extreme is already at work. So it's hard to say whether Buxom is better on its own, or because it's had that extra help from Too Faced. My biggest complaint is not only the price for uncertain results, but mostly due to the fact at how HARD it is to find this in stores AND online! It's almost impossible to find it in Ulta or Sephora and even both websites often are out of stock of this product. I have seen it on Amazon, but there's no guarantee where that came from and there's no ability to return it if you're dissatisfied (not to mention you have to pay postage yourself). With this product, I notice my upper lip is slightly more plumped than normal, but I don't see huge results with this. I'm still sitting on the fence whether or not to repurchase this. Fortunately, one tube goes a long way so I'll have a lot more time to see whether it's going to deliver. The reason why I got this was because I was hoping to try to plump out and diminish the lines in my lips. My lips are fortunately quite full, but those lines drive me crazy! Let's see if this works. — 5 years, 3 months agovolta | 566 reviews

Ouch!I got a sample size tube of this as a gift with purchase. Thank goodness I didn't spend my money on this. The gloss itself looks pretty. It is clear with an iridescent quality to it. The smell was a bit strange to me. It reminded me of a smell that would be used in self tanners to mask that DHA smell. It applied nicely enough but after a few seconds it felt super uncomfortable.

Even after I got it off, my lips still itched and felt horrible. When I touched my lips, they felt really rough. I don't know if it is because the gloss ate away at the skin on my lips or if it was something that the gloss left behind. What a terrible experience! I can't speak to the effectiveness of the lip plumping claim since I couldn't stand to leave it on, let alone use it twice a day consistently (who has the diligence for that anyway?!). But if a product is too painful to endure for even a few minutes, it is a major dud and waste of one's money. — 4 years, 4 months agoHeathRene | 285 reviews

good 'tingle'i only have one other gloss that 'tingles' more, and this ones close. i like that. its not a moisturiser or a glos tho, you gotta follow up with something else. the plumping seems temporary too, as is the tingle. good tho, too faced is one of my fave companies. — 9 years, 4 months agocorizotti | 550 reviews

Super plump!Of all the plumpers I've tried so far, this is the only one that gave me the instant gratification I was hoping for. It swells my lips substantially and provides a glossy sheen. If you want to apply a lip product over this, I recommend waiting about 10-15 minutes then wipe this off before you apply another product.

So Far So GoodI have only had this product for a week now, and already love it. Has a slight affect after 5 mins. My lips were noticeably plumper, and were a nice shade of pink.

'Smash' Star Katharine McPhee Gets Comfortable on Russell Brand's Lap During 'Jimmy Fallon' Interview
Last night, Katharine McPhee was on hand at 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' to promote Season 2 of her show 'Smash,' which debuts tonight (Feb. 5). Russell Brand was also a guest on Fallon's show and he proved to be very smitten with McPhee. Let's just say… Stuff. Got. Awkward.
When McPhee first came out on stage, Brand didn't move from the first guest chair onto the couch so Katharine jokingly perched herself on Russell's lap, to which Jimmy Fallon said, "Trust me, don't do this," as Brand nuzzled her tightly. Finally he moved (McPhee practically pushed him to the couch) and Jimmy and Katharine began their chat… or so they thought….
The 'Smash' actress, a huge San Francisco 49ers fan, started recounting her journey to the Super Bowl. And it goes like this…
She was invited to the New York Jets and 49ers game by the Jets organization, but made her way onto San Fran's side of the field, where she realized Niners headcoach Jim Harbaugh's kids were big fans of her show. She goes on, "And we managed to get tickets to the Super Bowl…" then turned to Brand and said, "And when I say we, I mean my husband…" Let the awkwardness begin!
Brand quipped, "Look at the way you dropped the Jets! You could drop that guy any day!" He then went on, "I didn't know you were married, I'm going to f— off now," and he proceeds to LEAVE THE STAGE! Talk about taking a hint!
The whole ordeal was definitely funny, albeit probably uncomfortable for the very gracious (and very married) McPhee. Following Brand's exit, McPhee's interview progressed just as any other late night appearance. Brand was certainly outrageous as per usual, but entertaining for sure, We just hope he didn't ruin Katharine McPhee's marriage!

THE investigation into Essendon's supplement program should prompt players throughout the league to become more conscious of what they put into their bodies, says former Bombers forward Scott Lucas.
Lucas, who works in player management with Phoenix Management, said his firm had discussed the club's current plight with all of its clients to ensure they were asking the right questions of their team's staff and were fully across the AFL's rules.
He said his priority was to ensure his two Essendon clients, David Zaharakis and Ariel Steinberg, felt supported. ''We've chatted to our guys. We've spoken to our players at Essendon but we've spoken to our other players as well, just to highlight to them how they can take a more active interest and take more control of certain situations,'' Lucas said.
''We've told them there are certain questions they should be asking, and that there are things they need to make sure they know to do with the AFL rules and regulations.
''The key point with the Essendon guys is to keep them up to date with what's happening, but mostly we want to reaffirm to the guys what they can and can't do and make sure they're aware of whatever it is they're putting in their bodies.
''I think players in general just need to ask as many questions as they can, about everything. There's no silly question, is there?''
Neither Zaharakis nor Steinberg played for Essendon in Friday night's NAB Cup opener against Collingwood and the Bulldogs, but Lucas said he believed the players were coping well with the uncertain situation in which they had found themselves.
''As an ex-Essendon player your first concern is for the players because you know what they'd be going through. You put yourself in their position and think, 'would I have done anything differently?' Possibly not,'' he said.
''You really do rely on the people within the club who are employed as experts in the area to do the right thing, and I think most people at most clubs would say that.
''I thought the players handled things very well on Friday night. No doubt it's a challenging time because whilst they've had some feedback, they're still quite unsure what the outcome will be.''

Dallas Voice participated in the Reliant Energy Kite Relay this morning at Fair Park. Anna Waugh, Rich Lopez, Arnold Wayne Jones and I flew a kite, dressed as Ben Franklin, folded a pinwheel, answered energy questions … and came in second.
WFAA Channel 8's Colleen Coyle beat us by a few steps. She won $2,500 for the ASPCA. Bob Williams from Ranch Hand Rescue, our charity, was on hand and received $250.
"You should have tripped her," Waugh said. "Next time we'll know better."
About a dozen news organizations were on hand to compete.
The Reliant energy-efficient house was on hand. Among the interesting new appliances displayed was a hot water heater that uses heat from the attic to warm the water in the tank and releases cool air into the attic to help cool the house. During the winter, the heater works on electricity as well.
The kite relay was to promote a Saturday event in the Trinity River bottoms near the viaduct behind Lew Sterrett. Closest parking is in the courthouse parking lots. Hot air balloons, hang gliders, kite relay teams will be part of the fun from noon to 6 p.m. More photos from today's event below.

Our pick of the week's science and technology stories explore our innermost fears, a world under surveillance and bringing Neanderthals back from the dead.
Awaiting a new Darwin
H. Allen Orr | New York Review Of Books | 21 January 2013
On Thomas Nagel's "Mind And Cosmos", which argues for seeing the universe as an entity with a purpose, though not necessarily a divine one, and adjusting the practice of science accordingly, treating evolution as merely a means towards a universal end that remains to be discovered. Scientists retort that Nagel doesn't understand science.
Google and the Knowledge Graph
Tim Adams | Observer | 19 January 2013
Interview with Amit Singhal, head of Google Search, on philosophy and technology of search, and on this year's big new product — Knowledge Graph, database of 500m most searched-for things in the Google world. "We are a search people. The thing that motivates me is to build a search engine that will outdo all my previous creations."
Can Neanderthals be brought back from the dead?
Philip Bethge and Johann Grolle | Spiegel | 18 January 2013
Jaw-dropping interview with George Church, professor of genetics at Harvard. His answer: "That depends on a hell of a lot of things, but I think so ... You would certainly have to create a cohort, so they would have some sense of identity. They could maybe even create a new neo-Neanderthal culture and become a political force."
Enlightened surveillance
Stuart Armstrong | Practical Ethics | 18 January 2013
Cameras everywhere. We are moving towards a surveillance society. But is that all bad? Not necessarily. There are many ways in which society could benefit from inhabiting a panopticon. "We should at least consider the possibility that people who know that their words and deeds are recorded would behave in more pro-social and honest ways."
Bruce Sterling: The complete interview
Cory Doctorow et al | Forty Key Books | 2 January 2013
If you know Sterling, you know what to expect: volleys of ideas about tech, society, writing. "It's mostly our paper that will survive us as data, while a lot of our electronics will succumb to erasure, loss, and bit rot. If we're like most civilizations, we're going to leave some of our most effective clues to ourselves in our garbage."
Google's Larry Page on why Moon shots matter
Steven Levy | Wired | 17 January 2013
Exhilarating interview with Google boss, on the need to think differently and plan big. "I feel like there are all these opportunities in the world to use technology to make people's lives better. At Google we're attacking maybe 0.1 percent of that space. And all the tech companies combined are only at like 1 percent."
What we should fear
Gary Marcus | New Yorker | 15 January 2013
150 scientists and other intellectuals contribute to a symposium on what humanity should fear in the long term. Mostly conventional answers: demographics, computer hacking, rogue robots. But an interesting strand of "meta-worry": Do we worry too much, or too little? Are we good at identifying our problems? If so, why can't we deal with them?
Re-evaluating the value of tiles in Scrabble
DTC | Virtuosi | 20 January 2013
English lexicon has changed a lot in the 70 years since Scrabble was invented. Should the point-value of Scrabble letters be changed to reflect modern usage, and to correct earlier errors? Amid a recent flurry of pieces on the subject, this one is by far the best, grounding its conclusions on a computer simulation of 10m racks of letters.

The water temperatures have slipped into the low seventies this past week and with the warmer temps more species have returned. Spanish mackerel catches are more common each week, and several species of sharks have returned to our local waters. I would like to report one particular blacktip shark who is not observing the fifteen inch minimum on spotted seatrout as it ate two short trout within a few feet of my vessel last Thursday. Good luck digesting the leadhead jigs that were included in those meals.
What a beautiful time of the year! It is so exciting to see the farmers getting watermelon fields ready to plant, the red maple are showing off their spring colors by adding a striking crimson to the area forests, and the redbuds are blooming everywhere.
On our kitchen counter, right next to the trusty and well used microwave is an angel figurine that simply says, "Heaven sends us special angels, we call them friends".
My wife and I would like to thank all our friends that enjoyed a grouper dinner at Robinson's Seafood on Sunday, Jan. 31. The food and fellowship was as good as it gets.
In addition to the dinner, numerous local businesses donated items from seven different captains 1/2 day fishing charters to airplane rides.
Good news this week for grouper fishermen. The FWC has announced that gag grouper season will start June 1 this year. Previously gag season started on July 1.
Part of the thinking on this change was the amount of discard gag grouper caught by fishermen targeting red grouper during the closed gag season. Additionally, the minimum size limit for both gag and black grouper will be increased to a 24 inch minimum. The new size limit for the Gulf will now be the same as on the Atlantic side of the state.
By Jack Payne
The Nature Coast is a paradise for scientists because it poses so many fascinating riddles: What happened to the birds on Seahorse Key? Can we raise Sunray Venus clams? How does swimming with humans affect manatees? Could the Gulf oil spill affect the fishing for spotted seatrout?
The graffiti that detracted from the beautiful refuge vistas on the Dixie Mainline bridge over Sanders creek in the Lower Suwannee Refuge, was recently whitewashed over by an anonymous good citizen.
The Friends of the Refuge group and Refuge staff extend a heartfelt thank you to those good folks. We can all pitch in to help the refuges manage, protect, and preserve these natural communities for all wildlife while providing for quality outdoor recreational experiences for all of us.
Four years ago when the Suwannee River Water Management District was buying the Lukens Tract to prevent it from being developed and to preserve the area's pristine waters for aquaculture, it cut out 20 acres that had once been home to a dump.
It's understandable that the water district did not want to buy into a problem.
But the water district finds itself snagged in another problem.
I am retiring as County Extension Director and 4-H Agent after 38-plus years of service to the University of Florida and a total of 42 years with USDA. My official retirement date is Jan. 31.
I have been planning retirement for well over a year but more definitely in the last 2 months. I officially announced it to the University and to the County on Jan. 15.

Schluter-DILEX-KSN is a surface joint profile used to separate fields of floor tile while providing structural stress relief. This stainless steel profile is specifically designed for heavy industrial use, including areas subject to continuous vehicular traffic. The rubber insert allows you to match the profile to the decorative themes of the room being tiled, while the durability of the steel sides ensures that the profile holds steadfast to any level of foot traffic. The EKSN140G profile has a grey finish that adds clean, decorative lines to any room.
Product Features
Rigid Stainless Steel Sides
The sides of this DILEX-KSN use stainless steel in their construction, protecting the sides of the tile they are installed next to and providing solid borders for the soft rubber movement zone in the middle.
Trapezoidal Anchor Pattern
Schluter-DILEX-KSN profiles use an alternating trapezoidal pattern of anchoring holes for adherence to mortar. This pattern gives optimal movement stability in all directions.
Stainless Steel with Grey Finish
The stainless steel with grey finish on the EKSN140G profile gives your tile an extra touch of class and sophistication.

What would the WWF do if Austin's career ended at Summerslam 97?
by, 03-22-2013 at 11:23 AM (8254 Views)
On the 23rd September 1992 'Stunning' Steve Austin had a match with Masahiro Chono which ended kinda badly for Chono. A botched piledriver from Austin nearly put Chono on the shelf permanently.
Ironically 5 years later the same thing happened again with Austin except this time it was him receiving the botched piledriver from Owen Hart. Despite feeling numb for a short period of time, Austin was able to finish the match but the damage was serious. Although it didn't stop Austin's career completely, it definitely affected it. He changed his style to more of a brawling style and eventually retired several years earlier than he would have, had the accident not happened.
He was lucky. All you have to do is look at Droz, who as a result from a badly executed move, was confined to a wheelchair. But what if Austin hadn't recovered from Summerslam? What if that match with Owen was his last match?
Alternative Universe 7
What would the WWF do if Austin's career ended at Summerslam 97?
It must have been a scary moment for Austin, lying flat in the ring and unable to move. Although the school boy pinfall victory at the end looked weak, it is totally understandable. It did help to add to the Stone Cold never say die attitude despite the seriousness. Just watch the 1997 Survivor Series video promoting the rematch between Hart and Austin where it recaps the accident ("It's not how many times you get knocked down that count……. It's how many times, you get back up")
Austin would go on a few months later to win the 1998 Royal Rumble and defeat Shawn Michaels for the WWF title at Wrestlemania. Then he would have the legendary McMahon feud which basically made the WWF a shit load of money and help them to finally beat WCW in the ratings as well as creating some of the most memorable moments and matches from the Attitude era.
So would it be fair to say that without Austin, the WWF would fail to catch in viewers, lose more ratings to WCW and eventually fold? It's possible. But then again, its possible that the McMahon's and the WWF might actually just have pulled through despite the dire financial difficulties. There's no doubt that without Austin, then the WWF wouldn't have made as much money as they did during the Attitude era. Also the massive 84 week consecutive beating Raw took from Nitro would have been a lot longer. Much much longer.
If you trace the comparasion rating graph
(located here from wikipedia http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia
/commons/c/c6/Monday_night_wars_ratings.gif ),it does seem that the permanent fall of WCW began in the first half of 1999. The question is, could the WWF survive until then and how?
The incident with Austin happened at Summerslam 97 so we're looking at a good 18 months until then. Who would be pushed in Austin's place? The Montreal Screw job which ultimately resulted in Bret Hart, Bulldog and Neidhart leaving happened a few months later so it wouldn't be Bret Hart. Shawn Michaels also wrestled his last match for 4 years at the following Wrestlemania so we could rule him out carrying the torch. Also both men had their run in the early Nineties so it would be time for something new.
The Undertaker held the WWF title during the first half of 1997 then began his first feud with Kane around the end of the year, which cumulated in a match at the 98 Wrestlemania. It would be entirely possible that Taker could reach Wrestlemania as champ and Kane could win the rumble. Remember Yokozuna debuted and won the rumble in the same time frame as Kane appeared so it wouldn't be totally unprecedented that a new character would be pushed as quick.
As for the Mr McMahon character, without Austin it wouldn't work or possibly been inspired. Or on the other hand, Vince could have seen in WCW how Eric Bishoff's evil authority character was working and stole the idea. The protagonist to replace Austin would possibly be the new line up of Degeneration X (out with Shawn Michaels and Rick Rude and in with the younger and 'hipper' X Pac and New Age Outlaws). A DX/Corporation feud could quite easily be played out for the most of 1998. Which would help to buy time for the Rock to get over with the fans, from a cocky heel that gets booed to the cocky face that the fans can't help but cheer. His heel turn at the Survivor Series in 1998 would never take place and he would remain face and grow into the superstar that he has become. He would either pick up the title at the end of 1998 and defend it at wrestlemania, or more likely go down the hero route by winning the Rumble 99 and taking on (and beating) the top heel WWF champion. Possibly HHH during the DX/Corporation feud would betray his own team and become Vince's corporate champion? Essentially we are bringing the Rock/HHH rivalry from 2000 forward by a year.
And lets not rule out Mick Foley. Mankind feuded with the Undertaker many times and gave us in 1998 (King of the Ring to be exact) a Hell in a Cell match that people still talk about today. In fact, when people mention KOTR 1998, it's what people always think of. Not the Austin/Kane first blood match or that it was Ken Shamrock who won the tournament.
So with Undertaker, Kane, DX, Mick Foley, the Corporation and then later the Rock, it's likely the main event scene of the WWF will still be entertaining and thriving. Providing that is, the fans take to them as they did originally when the attitude era had Austin building it up.
As mentioned earlier, one thing we can be sure is that the WWF would not be quite as rich without Austin. That we can safely say. The question is, would they be rich enough to buy the assets of WCW when it did as well as the video libraries of WCW and ECW? If they failed to do so then we wouldn't have gotten the Invasion storyline (as perhaps disappointing as it was) and we wouldn't have the comprehensive DVD documentaries which feature footage from both major organisations.
We may still have a rival promotion to WWE to this day if someone other than the McMahon's bought WCW in 2001. Of course whether this newly owned WCW would be a strong rival or merely a TNA sized rival is anyone's guess.
In conclusion –
A very hard one to predict how the WWF would survive without Austin. Probably a lot harder than I first thought when I began writing this blog. WCW had a great angle with the New World Order and it struck a powerful blow against the WWF programming. However it had many flaws with the way it was ran (over reliance on aging stars, bad booking, newer talent not getting pushed enough etc).
The WWF is a family run business that belonged to Vince's father and he was going to fight a lot harder than somebody who was working for someone else. When people leave work in the evenings and at the weekends, they (hopefully) forget about work until they return. But not for McMahon, who would probably be thinking 25 hours a day, 8 days a week on how to keep his livelihood and legacy from going down the toilet. The attitude era was not all just the Austin/McMahon feud. There many other very over superstars up and down the card that the fans cared about. And maybe, that might have been enough to keep WWF afloat through the difficult times.
Next Time, Alternative Universe 9 – What if the Warrior and Bulldog didn't leave in 1992?

Martinez eager to test left hand by swinging bat
"I really haven't been able to swing that much yet, but I feel like it's right there and really close," he said. "I'm trying to rest it as much as I can now because I know when Spring Training starts, it's going to be non-stop. I feel like I'll be ready and it will be strong enough for me to do what I have to do."
Martinez, the Astros' Opening Day starter in left field a year ago, struggled for the first time in his pro career and was sent to the Minor Leagues. He hit .241 with 11 homers and 55 RBIs in 395 at-bats last season with the Astros after hitting .274 with six homers and 35 RBIs in 208 at-bats in his debut in 2011.
While he hasn't been able to swing the bat much this winter, he has been able to put in some defensive work with Cardinals outfielder Jon Jay at the University of Miami. Martinez's father went to school with Jay's father in South Florida.
"He's a really good outfielder and someone that knows the game for how young he is," Martinez said. "It's been great since the first day I met him. He's been helping me out tremendously."
