Some of the nation's top players are undecided on their college choice and even some of the ones committed don't seem so solid as Feb. 6's National Signing Day approaches.
Sure, some programs are guaranteed to have solid recruiting classes regardless of what happens Wednesday — that includes Michigan, Texas A&M, Florida and LSU. Alabama Ohio State and others also have stout classes that could rise to or near the top if a couple decisions go their way. Then there are schools seeking a furious finish to make a run up the team rankings, such as Tennessee and Miami (Fla.).
Here's a look at eight schools that are poised for a big finish on signing day.
Commitments: 22
All eyes on: RB Alvin Kamara
Analysis: The Crimson Tide always seem to finish well on National Signing Day — winning national championships certainly doesn't hurt. Defensive back Vonn Bell is a strong possibility to join the Tide's already impressive class, while former Auburn commitment Dee Liner will probably join, too. In the end, Alabama will have the nation's top class again.
MORE: SN's top running back recruits
Commitments: 18
All eyes on: DT Montravius Adams
Analysis: The Tigers are in great shape to land one of the nation's top defensive linemen in Adams, helping make up for the loss of Robert Nkemdiche, who decommitted from the Tigers last year. Getting Tyrone Crowder and Mackensie Alexander would be the icing on the cake if Adams comes to Clemson. The Tigers have finished hot the past few years, and 2013 will be no exception.
Florida State
Commitments: 17
All eyes on: CB Jalen Ramsey
Analysis: Really, Florida State's fate has a lot to do with how things go for Miami (Fla.), but the potential is there for a great finish. The Seminoles are hoping they can sway Matthew Thomas, Keith Bryant and Stacy Coley away from the Hurricanes' backyard. If the Seminoles can wrestle two of the three, it'll be cause to celebrate in Tallahassee. Yannick Ngakoue and Jalen Ramsey are other potential victories.

Commitments: 29
All eyes on: OT Laremy Tunsil
Analysis: The Bulldogs are the frontrunners to get Tunsil, the nation's top offensive tackle and a Lake City, Fla., resident. That alone will cause the class ranking to shoot up, but there are some possible bonuses in Montravius Adams, Alvin Kamara and Davin Bellamy. If Georgia can get Tunsil and one of the other three mentioned above, it'll be a great closing.
Miami (Fla.)
Commitments: 13
All eyes on: RB Alex Collins
Analysis: Watch out for the Hurricanes down the stretch, because there is the potential for this class to shoot through the roof if everything goes its way. Denver Kirkland is a Miami kid who turned heads by taking MVP honors at The Opening over the summer, and he's a 'Canes lean. Matthew Thomas, Keith Bryant and Stacy Coley are all South Florida studs looking seriously at Miami.

Ohio State
Commitments: 23
All eyes on: DB Vonn Bell
Analysis: The Buckeyes are already in outstanding shape with this year's class, but they could add a few more studs if Vonn Bell and Cornelius Elder both decide to come on board. Of course, there is a chance the Buckeyes could have a very quiet day. If they lose Ezekiel Elliott to Mizzou and don't get Bell or Elder, it could actually turn out to be a very disappointing day.
Ole Miss
Commitments: 23
All eyes on: DE Robert Nkemdiche
Analysis: Perhaps no school will finish as hot as the Rebels — as long as they are able to lock down all of the recruits they want. Sporting News Top 125 players Nkemdiche, Tony Conner and Jordan Wilkins could all be signed, sealed and delivered by this time next week — and Ole Miss' recruiting victories over the past few weeks have been impressive to say the least.
MORE: SN's team recruiting rankings
Commitments: 17
All eyes on: LB Tyrell Robinson and ATH Tyree Robinson
Analysis: The Ducks' cause for celebration will have more to do with retaining its talent as opposed to nailing down a lot of undecided players. Coach Chip Kelly's sudden departure to the NFL could have wrecked this year's signing class, but instead it looks like the group will stay intact—with Darren Carrington, the Robinson brothers and Dontre Wilson being the ones to watch. Plus, don't forget about Torrodney Prevot, the Southern Cal commit who might switch to Oregon.
Commitments: 18
All eyes on: DE Carl Lawson
Analysis: The Volunteers have the room to grow and they are making waves already. The pickups of Marquez North and Jason Carr this week were huge, and Auburn commit Carl Lawson could end up in Knoxville, too. Tennessee is also trying to wrestle loose other schools' commitments — namely E.J. Levenberry (Florida State) and Christian Morris (UCLA).
MORE: Sporting News Recruiting Central
Commitments: 23
All eyes on: DT Eddie Vanderdoes
Analysis: Every year, it seems UCLA ends up plucking a few former Southern Cal commitments. That could happen again if Vanderdoes and Kylie Fitts both pick the Bruins by this time next week. Isaac Savaiinaea would also be a nice pickup if they can keep him away from Texas A&M.

Dale W. Dickson Scholarship awards support to Ryan Doutt
A first-year Muskingum College student has been awarded financial support from the Dale W. Dickson Endowed Scholarship Fund.
Ryan Doutt, a Meadowbrook High School graduate from Lore City, will begin his studies at Muskingum this fall. The son of Thomas and Nancy Doutt of Lore City, Ryan was an honor student at Meadowbrook, a member of the National Honor Society and earned letters in baseball, basketball and golf. In addition to the Dickson scholarship, Ryan has been awarded a Faculty Scholarship from Muskingum.
The Dale W. Dickson Endowed Scholarship Fund was established in 1998, following his death, by his family, friends and the Mace Club, a social club at Muskingum. Dickson, who graduated from Muskingum in 1965, was a member of the Mace Club and served on its advisory board after his graduation. The purpose of the fund is to make it financially possible for deserving and qualified students, preferably from Guernsey County, to attend Muskingum College.
Dickson was a teacher and coach at Meadowbrook High School, Cambridge High School, Cloverleaf High School near Cleveland, and Mt. Vernon High School. Beginning in 1986, he was employed by Cambridge Savings Bank, where he served as vice president and secretary and as a board member of Camco Mortgage. He also was the high school football coach of Cambridge native Dom Capers, who is head coach of the National Football League's Houston Texans. Capers also won coach of the year honors in the NFL as head coach of the Carolina Panthers. Each year, a portion of the proceeds from the Dom Capers Day golf outing at Salt Fork State Park helps support the Dickson Scholarship.
Dickson was a member and past president of the Kiwanis Club, the Cambridge Area Chamber of Commerce Board, the Guernsey County United Way campaign and the board of directors of the Southeastern Ohio Regional Medical Center.
In tribute to his college athletic career, he was inducted into the Muskingum College Hall of Fame in 1993.

Washington University Policy for Authorship on Scientific and Scholarly Publications
Revised and Effective Date: December 15, 2009
Original Effective Date: February 2002, Revised June 15, 2009
Reviewed by: Faculty Senate Council, November 2009, and Faculty Senate, December 2009
Approved by: The Executive Committee on Research, December 2009
Faculty, Staff, Postdoctoral Scholars and Associates, Fellows, Trainees, and Students affiliated with Washington University
Scholarly integrity and the responsible conduct and reporting of research are essential for maintaining public trust in the research enterprise, and for community benefit from research discovery.
Scientific and scholarly publications, defined as articles, abstracts, presentations at professional meetings and grant applications, provide the main vehicle to disseminate findings, thoughts, and analysis to the scientific, academic, and lay communities. For academic activities to contribute to the advancement of knowledge, they must be published in sufficient detail and accuracy to enable others to understand and elaborate the results. For the authors of such work, successful publication improves opportunities for academic funding and promotion while enhancing scientific and scholarly achievement and repute. At the same time, the benefits of authorship are accompanied by a number of responsibilities for the proper planning, conducting, analysis, and reporting of research, and the content and conclusions of other scholarly work. As a respected member of the academic community, it is the responsibility of Washington University and its faculty, staff and students to help protect these fundamental elements of the scientific and scholarly process. This policy provides an educational resource describing the essential considerations and requirements in responsible authorship and publication at Washington University.
The following principles define Washington University's policy on authorship of scientific and scholarly publications.
I. Defining Authorship
An author is generally considered to be an individual who has made substantial intellectual contributions to a scientific investigation. All authors should meet the following three criteria, and all those who meet the criteria should be authors:
An administrative relationship, acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of a research group alone does not constitute authorship.
It is recognized that definitions of authorship differ among the various scientific disciplines and professional journals, as may standards for "substantial" and "scholarly effort", and the extent to which authors must participate in scholarship and authorship. For example, design/development of research equipment, or collection of a specific data set, may be substantial scholarly effort in certain disciplines. The expectation of this policy is that standards and criteria for authorship in an academic discipline will be widely recognized and consistent across that discipline (including within Washington University), and consistent with the appropriate professional association, and/or journal (publication) in which the work appears.
II. Lead Author
As a practical matter in the case of publications with multiple authors, one author should be designated as the lead author. The lead author assumes overall responsibility for the manuscript, and also often serves as the managerial and corresponding author, as well as providing a significant contribution to the research effort. A lead author is not necessarily the principal investigator or project leader. The lead author is responsible for:
III. Co-authors
All co-authors of a publication are responsible for:
IV. Acknowledgments
Individuals who may have made some contribution to a publication, but who do not meet the criteria for authorship, such as staff, editorial assistants, medical writers, or other individuals, can provide a valuable contribution to the writing and editing of publications. Since those contributions do not meet the criteria for authorship under this policy, those individuals should be listed in an acknowledgement and/or contributorship section of the work.
V. Unacceptable Authorship
Guest, gift, and ghost authorship are all inconsistent with the definition of authorship, and are unacceptable and a violation of this policy.
Guest (honorary, courtesy, or prestige) authorship is defined as granting authorship out of appreciation or respect for an individual, or in the belief that expert standing of the guest will increase the likelihood of publication, credibility, or status of the work.
Gift authorship is credit, offered from a sense of obligation, tribute, or dependence, within the context of an anticipated benefit, to an individual who has not contributed to the work.
Ghost authorship is the failure to identify as an author, someone who made substantial contributions to the research or writing of a manuscript that merited authorship, or an unnamed individual who participated in writing the manuscript. Ghost authorship may range from authors for hire with the understanding that they will not be credited, to major contributors not named as an author.
VI. Authorship Order
The order of authors is a collective decision of the authors or study group. This policy does not address questions or disputes regarding the order of authorship on publications. It is not possible for the University to define the order of authorship. In conjunction with the lead author, co-authors should discuss authorship order at the onset of the project and revise their decision as needed. All authors must work together to make these informed judgments.
Should authors fail to resolve disputes about the order of authors, the chair or head of the involved department(s) should mediate an effort to resolve the dispute. If not successful, such mediation may be addressed by the school Dean. In cases that cannot be resolved, the lead author, in consultation with the department chair and/or Dean, will have the final authority to determine the order of authorship.
VII. Dispute Resolutions
Guidelines have been developed for Avoiding and Resolving Authorship Disputes to assist with addressing disputes that do not represent a violation of this policy.
VIII. Research Funding
All authors, in manuscripts submitted for review and publication, must acknowledge/disclose the source(s) of support for the work. Support includes research and educational grants, salary or other support, contracts, gifts, and departmental, institutional and hospital support.
IX. Financial Conflicts of Interest
Authors shall fully disclose, in all manuscripts to journals, grant applications, and at professional meetings, all relevant financial interests that could be viewed as a potential conflict of interest or as required by the University and/or journal. All such financial interests must also be reported internally as required by the University's conflict of interest policies.
Violations of the Policy
Knowing, intentional, or reckless violations of this policy are considered research misconduct as defined by the Washington University Research Integrity Policy and as such, will be referred to the Research Integrity Officer. Violations of the policy that do not rise to the level of research misconduct may subject the individual to corrective action or other sanctions as deemed appropriate by the Vice Chancellor for Research. Disagreements regarding the order of authorship do not, in and of themselves, constitute a violation of this policy or research misconduct.

Zeller is a 5. All the way.
Go ahead and don't try to win, tank away....and give me my freaking ticket money back. Not to mention the tons of studies and analysis that dispute the technique of tanking as being any more reliable than just smart team construction. Plenty of teams drafted ahead of the Pacers year after year and still finished behind them last season. But I guess we ignore the plan when it fails (all the time). #Wizards #Bobcats #Warriors #Kings #Bucks #Cavs #Clippers, and so on.
i agree with this.
i don't really see cody as a full-time 5. more of a hybrid pf/c
he is not as good a defensive player as he could be at this time but, his quickness and ability around the hoop tells me he can make things happen.
and as i saw some comparisons to him and hansbrough, tyler is about 6'8 and 1/2. cody is much taller- a legit 6'11 to 7 ft. that and the fact their styles of play are different tell me they are different players and those differences are in cody's favor. you can't teach height.
is cody a #1 pick?
i am not convinced he is but he is a 1# round lottery pick for certain. and as to whether he comes back for a junior run? just because the athletic scholarships are taken up doesn't mean he couldn't pay his own way and i think he could qualify on academics alone. they still have academic scholarships out there and all that to defer costs..
does he come back? hell, i have no idea. but if he wants to- i wouldn't complain.

as an IU fan, I sure hope he plays all 4 years. However, unless there is a serious injury, there is a 0% chance Cody comes back for his Junior year. I think its respectable that he even came back for his sophomore season.
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel

I do wonder what would happen if the pistons landed the 2nd pick and shabazz went #1.
Im guessing they would try to trade it.
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.
Division Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005
NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004
Go ahead, you will regret it......
Here's a good article comparing Luck and Zeller:
Now some 2013 mock drafts:
Just FYI Shabazz will be reinstated by the NCAA and eligible for Tuesday's game against IU it looks like.
I mean good God they are breaking their own rules."UCLA acknowledged amateurism violations occurred and asked the NCAA on Friday afternoon to reinstate Muhammad," the NCAA said in a statement. "The university required the student-athlete to miss 10 percent of the season (three games) and repay approximately $1,600 in impermissible benefits."NCAA student-athlete reinstatement guidelines say that when the value of benefits are greater than $1,000, the punishment is "withholding of 30 percent of eligibility for one season of competition and repayment." Thirty percent of a college basketball season is considered nine games.
Muhammad received the suspension penalty normally associated with benefits ranging between $500 and $700, yet still has to repay "approximately $1,600."
When asked by ESPN about the discrepancy, NCAA spokesperson Stacey Osbourn replied, "We don't have anything to share beyond the statement at this point."

but yeah i wouldn't tank for him, hell i don't think i'd spend a second round pick on him. Too small. Rather sign Talor Battle if we are looking for a PSU guard.
This would be HILARIOUS if it weren't them screwing with kids' careers.
I mean seriously, think about what that statement means. The rules are so dumb the people that create them can't even follow them. I wish the Big 6 conferences would just say screw you NCAA, don't need you (cuz they don't). We're gone.
Last edited by Heisenberg; 11-17-2012 at 08:36 PM.
I obviously agree with you espeiclaly since Perea and Jurkin are having to sit out 9 games each for receiving money to get to America. That they were even able to provide documentation for. Come on NCAA don't bend the rules just cause he's the number 1 player in the country, but I agree the rules are so contradictory it is insane.
it seems like there is no consistency at all with how the situations are handled.
Please lock this stupid thread.
Regarding the initial topic...10 games in and we need to "Suck for Luck" to get Cody Zeller in the draft?
Forever struggling to convince myself "In Larry we trust"

This franchise is NOT run by quitting cowards
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
Tank for Taylor?
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

Helpful Hints from Staff and Students
- "Knowing that I needed to work part-time during my seminary years, I started to investigate employment opportunities four months before moving to Dallas so that when I actually moved, I hit the ground running. I wanted to work in a church, so I contacted many churches, introduced myself via email, sent them a picture and a resume to see if there were any staff positions open. I was able to secure a position in a great church even before classes started my first year in Dallas. In conjunction with my employment, I had investigated many churches to attend months before moving to Dallas. It was so great to have a home church already before even starting classes. We discovered that we really needed this church family during difficult times (one baby delivery, one car accident, and another medical problem)."
"I wish I had known to arrive 10 minutes early to every Hendricks/Bailey's class so I could join the quest for the front row. I ended up sitting in back all semester.
"For housing issues, see the Student Housing Office. One of the realtors they recommended, Jack Coats, was a big help in determining where to live."
- "I have learned so much from being plugged into a church ministry right off the bat. Not only was there a way to practice what I have been learning in the classroom, but being involved in ministry brought me more into the real world that one may not experience in the classroom."
- "We have learned that what is important about finding a place to live is not finding a place as close to campus and as cheap as possible. It is finding a place that my wife and children can live, grow, go to school, and enjoy life. Attending the seminary is only a small slice of the total pie of a family. Mom needs a place she can call home."
- "If my children dislike 'Daddy's school,' because that is where daddy lives, then I might as well have not come to seminary."
- "My wife needs a place where she can meet with other seminary wives to relate to this strange phenomenon of seminary. It was great to get plugged into a SWING group right away. It was hard to discover what SWING actually was, so wives of seminarians will need to be diligent to find out information initially."
- "The campus mailboxes are where you learn to pray at seminary to get your mailbox open."
- "They need to read everything that they are given! That's our main problem with students, they don't read what they're given and then claim not to know things. Very irritating!"
- "For wives of students, the single most important thing for me has been to get involved with campus! Two of the best ways to do this are to join a couples' Spiritual Formation group and to get involved in SWIM (Seminary Wives in Ministry). Our spiritual formation group has generated some of our best friends. They are like our family!"
- "Go visit the Internship department. Know ahead of time what will be required for your degree before you have to be doing it. That way, if you find somewhere to get involved within your first couple of years, you can get the credit and be done with it. This means you don't have to worry about it or scramble later. Plus, it's a great place to say, "This is what I want to do, where do you think I should/could get involved?" The sooner you plug in somewhere, the better it'll be all around!"
- "Do one assignment at a time while studying; studying in 60 minute blocks and moving on to the next subject. It gives me the feeling that I'm truly accomplishing something while I study."
Other Tips
- Don't worry if you don't know anybody, just start engaging people, asking questions, and by the time you get out of here, that stranger may become your prayer partner and close friend.
- Always put your campus box numbers on all your papers—and your name helps too!
- If you can't pay for school, don't enroll or take only what you can afford. Don't take out loans—ministry jobs will not pay enough to help pay those loans off once you graduate. It's just reality. Make smart, sacrificial decisions with money. Raise support until you have cash in hand, with an emergency fund.
- Anticipate syllabus shock by the end of the first week, but remember that "with God all things are possible." He will help you get each assignment done as you trust in Him and depend on the Holy Spirit's help ... Pray! Pray! Pray!
- Buy a calendar notebook where you can see one month at a time, each day having its own section to write in. Color code either each class's assignments, or color code all your written assignments, all your reading assignments, and all your quizzes/exams so that you can see how they spread out over the semester. Then determine when you need to do each one to have them completed by the end of the semester.
- If your degree does not require Spiritual Formation, attend the information orientation and consider joining a group. It is open to all students, not just Th.M. and M.A./CE It could possibly be the best and most valuable thing you do during your years at DTS.
- Meet with your faculty advisor sometime during the first semester. His or her advice and encouragement will give you needed information for your time at DTS and begin to build a valuable relationship. They are teaching at DTS because they care about you and desire to help prepare you for a life of ministry.
- Take the speed reading course.
- Take the research writing methods course, RS101, even if you're not a Th.M. student, because it will make writing any paper easier.
- Seek to make your study time devotional. You may find yourself reading the Bible for an assignment and realizing it's becoming boring or just routine. Stop! Use this reading time to meditate on one of the passages you're reading. Take hold of your education. Turn every assignment into something which will prepare you for your future ministry and into something that will challenge your heart and bring you to your knees before God.
- Seminary is a challenging time, and you may begin to question your faith. If so, talk with a trusted friend or professor about it. You won't be alone.
- If you're not hung up over grades, then don't start now. If you are hung up over grades, realize they might mean something, but God is the one in charge of your future!
- Don't let school get in the way of your obligations before God. If you are married don't neglect your spouse.
- Enjoy the journey God has you on. These may be some of the best and worst times of your life, but through both it can be a season of marked growth. In the end, seminary is what you make it. It is a divinely appointed journey.
- If you're a nature lover, schedule time to break out of Dallas and enjoy God's beautiful creation.
- Make friends with Turabian, Starbucks, and a good mechanic, and you'll be able to survive your time at seminary!
- Laugh, laugh, and laugh some more.

'TIME IS MONEY," the venerable Benjamin Franklin said. But money does strange things to time. In and of itself time is a constant, but our perception of time is the variable. And that variable tends to vary considerably when money is involved.
"We've been waiting for our table for over 30 minutes!" bellowed the man standing menacingly at the hostess podium.
Trust me — there is no seemingly tougher man on this earth than one who berates a 20-something hostess. And this one was a real tough guy. Well, more like a little tough guy.
Never mind that his actual reservation was still 15 minutes in the future. He was attempting the old end around his actual reservation time: Arrive ridiculously early and then claim that time as your wait time. Just a quick fact check; your reservation can't be late if it isn't time for it yet.
Time is always the enemy of the restaurant employee, whether it's the wait for reservations or the wait for drinks.
A woman waved me over frantically. Apparently, it can be life and death when cocktails are involved. Miss Wavy was clearly oblivious that she was interrupting the order of the person with whom I was speaking. I finished the three cocktails I was making and looked at the to-go order in my hand and decided to see if Miss Wavy really had a life-and-death situation.
"May I get you something?"
"Hi," she said coyly. It's odd how some people can exhibit extremely rude and aggressive behavior one moment, and then attempt to disguise it with feigned politeness after the fact.
"Hello, may I get you something?"
"Oh, uh, um, hi."
"May I get you something?"
"How are you?"
"I'm fine. What would you like?"
"I don't know; what should I have?"
"What do you like?"
"I like everything."
That should make things easier, I thought.
"How about the cabernet?"
"I don't like red wine."
"How about the chardonnay?"
"I don't like chardonnay."
So much for easy. In real time this was costing me valuable seconds, adding up to valuable minutes, not minutes for me, but minutes for everyone else in the bar. Perceptions aside there is only so much actual time in an hour, time that was now being wasted with silliness.
"Here's a beverage list," I said, perhaps a touch too abruptly.
I proceeded to ring in that now well-worn to-go order and make 10 to 15 more cocktails for those who had to wait the extra few minutes for Miss Wavy not to make up her mind. As these things often do, those people stiffed me, taking me to task for Miss Wavy's indecisiveness.
I then returned to Miss Wavy.
"I'm waiting," she said, folding her arms.
"OK, what would you like?"
"You know," she said with more of her previous demeanor, before the feigned politeness. "My time is really valuable. I bill over $360 an hour."
"OK, what would you like?"
"You just wasted three minutes of my time, so I figure you owe me about $20."
Actually it was my time that was the most valuable at that point, not because of any narcissistic tendency, but quite literally because almost every other person in that room was waiting for me — waiting for me to wait on them. My time was valuable only because it was everybody's time.
But try explaining that to someone who "bills over $360 an hour."
Luckily, I didn't have to because Mr. Little Tough Guy came over and tugged on her arm.
"Our table is finally ready," he said snipingly, while steering clear of the two rocker types in leather jackets.
This exchange proved three things to me:
Birds of a feather often do flock together.
People who are much preoccupied with their own time are often completely inconsiderate of anybody else's.
Ben Franklin was right.

Two men are on trial at Bradford Crown Court accused of raping and assaulting schoolgirls after picking them up in the street and plying them with drink and drugs.
The vulnerable underage girls were targeted in Keighley and taken to hotels where they were abused while scared and out of their depths, it is alleged.
One 14-year-old girl suffered multiple rapes at the hands of both men, the jury was told.
Shazad Rehman, 30, boasted his victims were "fresh meat", it is alleged.
Rehman, of no fixed address, said if he got the girls young, he could "keep them forever", prosecutor Michelle Colborne QC alleged.
Rehman and Bilal Hussain, 23, of Neville Road Avenue in Leeds, are accused of pursuing teenage girls in 2010 and 2011, mainly in the Keighley area.
"They acted together, travelling from their various home addresses in Leeds and Halifax to Keighley town centre, where they specifically targeted vulnerable girls, all under age," Miss Colborne said.
She told the court the men exploited the girls' lack of maturity and life experience, using strong drink and drugs to render them more compliant.
Miss Colborne said the girls were needy, with difficulties at home and school and seeking attention. They were told they "would have fun and that they were special".
Rehman and Hussain cruised the streets in a silver Audi, using the names Yaz and Naz, the court heard.
It is alleged girls were taken to the Campanile Hotel in Roysdale Way on the Euroway industrial estate in Bradford and the Alder House Hotel at Batley.
Miss Colborne said the men knew how young the girls were. Teenagers would go missing from home for days with the defendants.
It is claimed three girls were raped and one sexually molested. One was raped by both men in one night and then mocked the next day by Hussain, it is alleged.
The jury was told the girls would be "stoned" on cannabis and alcohol. One was so drunk she crawled round on her hands and knees. Another was so incapable a cannabis joint was rolled on her back.
Rehman pleaded not guilty to six charges of rape and two of sexual assault.
Hussain denies five allegations of rape and one of common assault.
Both men deny seven charges of supplying cannabis to underage girls, one of offering to supply the drug and one of possession of cannabis with intent to supply.
A third defendant, Raksar Nawaz, of Rhodes Street in Halifax, has pleaded not guilty to arranging or facilitating the commission of a sexual assault on a child. Rehman, Hussain and Yassar Adalat, 31, of Milton Place in Halifax, all deny witness intimidation.
Miss Colborne said police and school support staff discovered two 14-year-old girls had been repeatedly picked up by 'Yaz and Naz' during four to six weeks, driven round and given alcohol and cannabis.
They said they were taken to hotels – one of them up to ten times – and forced to engage in sexual activity.
Miss Colborne said girls were picked up in Keighley town centre, Lund Park in the town and in Halifax.
One was struck with a wet flip-flop by Hussain after he had raped her at the Alder House Hotel, it was stated.
When one girl told Hussain she was pregnant, he ordered her to get rid of the child or he would kill it himself, Miss Colborne told the jury. The trial continues.

ANTIOCH — A gathering by teenagers at a bonfire disintegrated into an argument among some of them, leading to a chase and two crashes that sent five to the hospital, including one arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, police said.
The chaos happened Friday night around 10 p.m., after a confrontation and argument among teens who were at the bonfire off Laurel Road in a field between Antioch and Oakley, Antioch police Acting Sgt. Santiago Castillo said. All of the teenagers were 17, Castillo said, and the bonfire was illegal.
As the confrontation escalated, a group of four teens left in one vehicle, while another 17-year-old boy followed them in another one, Castillo said. The boy rammed his vehicle into the back of the one with the four teens, causing it to roll over and hit a tree at Hillcrest and Golden Bear drives. The make and models of the vehicles were not released by police.
All four teens were taken by ambulance to a hospital with minor injuries and later released. The 17-year-old driver who rammed them later was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and is expected to face felony DUI charges when toxicology reports are returned, Castillo said.
Antioch police officers in the area investigating another call saw the driver trying to flee and followed him until the teen lost control going around a curve at Hillcrest and Wild Horse Road, Castillo said. The driver crashed into an unoccupied vehicle in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven.
The 17-year-old was taken to a hospital with minor injuries and was arrested upon his release and taken to Juvenile Hall.

text: Religion 2 July 2010 The NS Interview: Ayaan Hirsi Ali "Islam is exempted from scrutiny – and spreading fast" By Sophie Elmhirst Sign up for our weekly email * You grew up in Africa and then moved to the Netherlands. How did that affect you?It was my first gateway to western life as it is lived, not the way I read in novels in Kenya. You have written of your traumatic childhood. Is there anything that you owe your family?I am grateful to my father for sending me to school, and that we moved from Somalia to Kenya, where I learned English. And that my mother has always been a very strong woman. Your family still lives within Islam. How do they feel about your atheist life in America?My brother thinks it is very, very bad that I left Islam. My half-sister wants to convert me back; I want to convert her to western values. My mum is terrified that when I die, and we all go to God, I will be burned. Do you feel that you belong in America?I'm finally at home. I feel welcome, I feel free. Which thinkers have shaped your ideas?Many: John Locke and John Stuart Mill, Friedrich Hayek, people like Karl Popper. Defenders of individualism. You defend free speech, yet you're under guard because you criticise Islam publicly. How do you deal with this contradiction?I'm willing to face the continuous stream of threats. It's not the same as my freedoms being taken away. If I'd gone with the man my father chose, I wouldn't be living the way I want to. Did you intend to become known for your outspokenness on Islam?I don't define myself by this subject, I just publish and debate other participants' involvement. In your book Nomad, you talk about the west's superiority as an objective truth.Freedom, women's rights, prosperity, stability - by all these indicators, the west is superior. That's not opinion, it's basic fact. What do you want your work to achieve?I'd like Muslims to look at their religion as a set of beliefs that they can appraise critically and pick and choose from. Is there anything you like about Islam?There are things I don't mind - people praying and fasting because it makes them feel good. But there are all these rules governing men and women. And the political dimension: jihad. What ideology does appeal to you?Liberal capitalism is not perfect, but compared to the other isms it's far superior. Do you ever worry that your ideas contribute to mistrust or intolerance of Muslims?I don't think so. What I do is not create division, but expose the reasoning and the activity, and how persistently it violates human rights. When you talk about a clash of civilisations, are you trying to be provocative?To provoke debate, yes. Islam is spreading very fast. Westerners exempt Islam from scrutiny. You are sympathetic towards Christianity, but doesn't it also have its unpleasant extremes?Christianity has gone through a process of reformation. Islam has not. Isn't that an idealised view, given the recent abuse scandals and so on?If I idealised it, I would be a Christian. Are all religions equally bad? Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins say so. I beg to differ. It doesn't blind me to Christianity's imperfections. You say western feminists are soft on Islam. Can't Muslim women fight their own battles?Some Muslim women will say, "You're patronising," but the ones who are locked up, who are forced to wear the burqa, they will be grateful. Do you support Europe's moves to ban the veil?No. I'm against the veil because of the idea that a woman is responsible not only for her sexuality but also for that of men. How do you view the recent events around the aid flotilla sent to Gaza?Turkey provoked Israel. It is moving away from the west and slowly Islamising. What are your hopes for Britain's government?I really hope it will be strong on national security and push back the Islamisation of the UK. Is there anything you regret?I regret that Theo van Gogh was killed. Do you vote?I just voted in Holland, for the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy [VVD]. Their philosophy is comparable to David Cameron's. Do you have a plan?When I took the train from Germany in 1992, I didn't know where my life would lead me, but I'm really glad that I did it. Are we all doomed?No. Things can always be improved - and it's worth trying.

text: Madonna's Comis captain of Class A all-state team By Dave Morrison December 9, 2013 Story Share WHEELING, W.Va. - It wasn't exactly a Lou Gehrig speech, but there is no doubt Madonna coach Doug Taylor considers himself a lucky man. He may not be the luckiest man in the world, but he certainly would be up there with the luckiest among his West Virginia coaching colleagues.If ever a coach and a quarterback were meant for each other it is Taylor and his senior quarterback Ross Comis."You know, Madonna was always known as a smash-mouth, run-it-up-the-gut, physical team, pound the ball," Taylor said. "I joke with Ross all the time. I tell him I don't know if it was lucky for him that I came here and brought this offense or if it's lucky for me that I found a quarterback like him here."Honestly, I think I am the lucky one."No doubt Comis has benefited from Taylor's offensive philosophy.The 6-foot-2, 215-pound quarterback rushed for 2,037 yards - a state record for quarterback rushing yards - and 35 touchdowns. Comis also passed for 1,731 yards and 22 scores.Comis, a utility selection because of his versatility, was named captain of the Class A all-state team released today by the West Virginia Sportswriters Association, two days after the Blue Dons' 24-14 victory against Greenbrier West in the Class A championship game at Wheeling Island Stadium,Comis, the first-team quarterback last year, finished his career with 4,839 yards rushing and 71 touchdowns, state records in both categories, and passed for 4,416 yards and 49 touchdowns.His 9,255 total offensive yards leads all active players, as do his 121 touchdowns overall (rush, pass, interception return)."It's nice to be named to the first team again, and to be named the captain makes it even better," Comis said. "It's a credit to all these guys and what we've been through, trying to get back to the state championship. To win it is more than I can describe. To be honored like that is because of my teammates."Comis was joined on the first team by teammates Eliott Nero (running back), Josh Martin (offensive line) and Will Bowser (defensive back). Nero rushed for 1,858 yards and 27 touchdowns (and scored 36 overall), Martin made headlines as a 7-foot-2 two-way lineman and Bowser had two touchdown receptions and five tackles in the state championship game.Bishop Donahue's Jesse Padlow was named the quarterback of the first team after leading the state in passing yards with 2,468 (completing 153 of 264 passes) with 24 touchdowns and five interceptions while leading the Bishops to the second round of the playoffs.Other running backs selected were Meadow Bridge's Jake Parker (283 carries, 2,505 yards and 33 touchdowns), who led the state in rushing for the second year in a row, and Magnolia's Drew Keller (283-1,832-22), who led his team to the Class A semifinals, where it lost to Greenbrier West.Along with Martin, first-team offensive linemen were Noah Schultz of St. Marys, Cole Seckman of Magnolia, Isaac Britton of Doddridge County and Wesley Harrison of Wahama. The wide receivers were Gilmer County's Austin Ratliff (68 catches, 875 yards, six touchdowns) and Bishop Donahue's Lavonte Hampton (45-723-11) Garrett Furr of St. Marys was the kicker. Furr kicked a game-winning field goal against Magnolia and was 31 of 37 on extra points this season.Greenbrier West's Malik Boatwright, a two-way standout, was selected as a defensive back and was named captain of the defense. He was the first-team all-state defensive utility player last season.The 5-4 Boatwright, also the Cavaliers' quarterback, had nine tackles in the state championship game against Madonna and had 65 on the season along with two interceptions, two fumble recoveries and three passes broken up.He was joined on the all-state defense by his brother and teammate, Marquis Frazier. The 6-1, 191-pound junior had 11 tackles in the championship game and finished the season with 95 tackles, 22 sacks and 24.5 tackles for a loss."No doubt they were both a big part of our success this season," Greenbrier West coach Lewis McClung said. "Malik has been a playmaker for us the last two seasons. On offense and defense, he just continued to make plays when we needed him." "It's an honor to be named, especially since I didn't get to finish the season last year," said Frazier, who broke an ankle in week eight last season. "We had a great run this season, we just came up a bit short in the final game."Other first-team defensive linemen were Tyler Davis of St. Marys (84 tackles), Chris Vani of Bishop Donahue (19 sacks) and Colton Neal of Wahama.Linebackers include Magnolia's Kage Rodge, a repeat first-team performer from last season, Wil Schoonover from Moorefield and Joe John from Wheeling Central.Williamstown's Jake Tracewell, Madonna's Bowser and Wahama's Hunter Bradley join Boatwright at defensive back while Kane Roush of Wahama is the defensive utility player and Pocahontas County's Devin Rose is the punter.Clay-Battelle'sTristan Haught (1,332 yards passing and 18 touchdowns) was named captain of the second-team offense and Madonna defensive lineman Matt Guio was named captain of the second-team defense.Austin Cunningham is quarterback of the second team with Notre Dame's Santana Cava, Valley's Keyshawn Payne and Wheeling Central's C.J. Burch at running back.Second-team offensive linemen are Fayetteville's Hunter Pullen, Clay-Battelle's Hunter Six, Williamstown's D.J. Kerns , Madonna's Garret Bever and Moorefield's Seth Stickley. Man's Trace Jones and East Hardy's Tyler Smith are the receivers with Trace Elder of Williamstown at kicker.On defense, Corey Cox of Greenbrier West, Bradon Riggleman of Moorefield and Magnolia's Kyle Ritz join Gio on the second-team defensive line.Linebackers are Doddridge County's Wyatt Ford, Tyler Consolidated's Jacob Hughley, Williamstown's Dakota Watson and St. Marys David Gray.Defensive backs are Valley-Fayette's Rawshawn Breckenridge, Buffalo's Jordan Tucker and Austin Zirk of Tucker County.Clay-Battelle's Tanner Bragg is the second-team utility player and Justin Joy of Wirt County is the punter.

This looks like the year of the no names.
"In the top 10 picks, I don't see the difference-makers like we've had the last several years," NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said in a conference call. "You had a couple quarterbacks last year and players like Von Miller (in 2011), Ndamukong Suh (2010). Before the draft, you knew who they were. You knew the difference-makers. There's more depth this year, but not quite the difference-makers at the top end."
The NFL Combine starts Thursday and runs through Tuesday at Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis. Players will be tested physically and mentally, interviewed at length and evaluated to the nth degree.
It'll be fascinating to insiders and those who love NFL minutia. As of now, there's not even a clear-cut No.1 pick.
Many believe the Kansas City Chiefs will take West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith.
But Mayock, the NFL Network's go-to analyst, wouldn't take Smith with the first pick. Or second. Or 14th.
"I don't have a quarterback I think should go before No.20," Mayock said. "Geno Smith and (USC's Matt) Barkley are 20 to 32, at best, the bottom third of the first round."
That's not what the Chiefs, desperate for a big-time franchise QB but a year late to that lottery, want to hear. They may very well talk themselves into Smith, who has "flashes" of great play, Mayock said.
The good news, so to speak, is if Smith flops he'll "only" cost the Chiefs about $20 million in the current rookie scale. The Oakland Raiders' choice of JaMarcus Russell cost $50 million.
The better news for teams other the top five (Chiefs, Jaguars, Raiders, Eagles and Lions) is that the depth of the draft makes position on the board less well-defined. Mayock said he believes there isn't much difference in the value of picks between the No.6 pick and the No.25 pick. You can get a solid, potential starter at all points in between.
That's good news for the Colts, who have the No.24 pick and could go a number of routes, from offensive line to a defensive tackle to a cover cornerback.
Mayock said he sees six offensive tackles and six defensive tackles with first-round grades.
"When you get to 24, you're looking at some of the later offensive tackles from my perspective," he said. "Lane Johnson at Oklahoma, had a great senior bowl. D.J. Fluker from Alabama, (Justin) Pugh from Syracuse. A good offensive tackle should be available at 24."
As far cornerback, Mayock lists Mississippi State's Johnthan Banks as a possibility at the No.24 spot.
"Corner depends on who runs fast (at the combine)," Mayock said. "Most corners after (Alabama's Dee) Milliner, are all about pure speed."
Mayock believes this could be the first time in three years that a tight end goes in the first round, and lists Notre Dame's (and Fort Wayne Bishop Dwenger's) Tyler Eifert, Stanford's Zach Ertz and San Diego State's Gavin Escobar as the top three.
The tight end drills, especially the 40-yard dash and other speed work, will be crucial to separating those tight ends. Speculation is that a tight end could go as high as No.12 to the Miami Dolphins in the April draft.
"Both (Eifert and Ertz) are talented and they're what today's tight ends are all about," Mayock said. "They have the ability to move around and do different things. They're both big enough to line up inside. I thought Eifert did a better job blocking this year than the past years and a little better than Ertz. …Both of their strengths is getting down the field and catching the football."
Mayock has five players from Indiana college's ranked in his Top 5 prospects by position: Eifert (No.1, tight end), Notre Dame's Manti Te'o (No.2, inside linebacker), Notre Dame's Braxston Cave (No.5, center), Notre Dame's Zeke Motta (No.5, safety) and Purdue's Kawann Short (No.5 tie, defensive tackle).
Mayock may be rating the Notre Dame players a little higher considering he's seen them so often as an analyst for Notre Dame games.
The area he most thinks outside the box is in his opinion that the Chiefs should use the No.1 pick one of four big men: Alabama guard Chance Warmack, North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper, Texas A&M tackle Luke Joeckel and Central Michigan tackle Eric Fisher.
He calls Warmack the best player in the draft.
Remember, Warmack is a 6-2, 322-pound guard.
This draft may not be for the casual fan. But given the fact the NFL might have more non-casual fans than any other sport, the break from the normal quarterback hype might be a welcome change.

WASHINGTON, DC --?Congressman John Garamendi (D-Fairfield) restated Tuesday he believes cuts in benefits in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid/MediCal are counterproductive and can be avoided by finding specific savings elsewhere.
"Here are four facts that I hope are on the minds of everyone involved in this conversation: One, Medicare is currently forbidden by law to directly negotiate with pharmaceutical companies on drug prices; two, Medicare is currently forbidden by law to import drugs from countries with rigorous safety standards, no matter the cost difference; three, fraud, errors and unnecessary procedures in Medicare are estimated to cost roughly $50 billion and four, Social Security is currently anticipated to be able to pay all benefits in the program until 2036," said Garamendi, who served as California's Insurance Commissioner and Lt. Governor.
"We can responsibly reduce the deficit while maintaining?benefits in Medicare and Medicaid, by negotiating drug prices, going after fraudulent claims by providers, and using payment systems that discourage unnecessary services and reward keeping the patient healthy," Garamendi said.
"Cutting Social Security benefits when the system's surplus is projected to reach $3.7 trillion in 2022 makes no sense," Garamendi said. "The average Social Security recipient receives about $14,800 a year, and the program lifts 14 million seniors out of poverty. We must not harm our vulnerable elderly. Social Security works; now is not the time to change it."

Maybe this one doesn't come as a shocker to Trek fans who caught a sneak peek of the game's box art last week, but today we've officially announced Star Trek: Conquest. Our latest Trek game delivers a combination of action and strategy set during the "Next Generation" era. Here's a snippit from the press release:
"Players take control of Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Cardassian, Dominion, and Breen forces and lead them in a campaign to control the Galaxy, one planet at a time. Build and manage your growing empire in turn-based strategy, fully utilizing the Wii Remoteâ"¢ as you select and maneuver your starships throughout the large, galactic map."
Conquest marks the first time a Star Trek game will be released on the Nintendo Wii — taking advantage of the console's unique control scheme. For those still struggling to find a Wii at their local gaming store, fear not, the game will also be available on the Playstation 2.
We'll have more details on Conquest in the weeks to come. In the meantime, check out the press release and forums.

Addiction and Substance Abuse
Urine test positive for coc after 27 days?
My 15 year old son has experimented with both marijuana and cocaine. Very limited use. I purchased home drug tests hoping it would discourage his use. After testing neg, on March 5th he tested pos for marijuana and cocaine. He admitted to smoking pot laced with coke. 6 days later he was neg. for pot but still pos. for coke.I restricted him to school and home. On March 14th a test revealed pos for pot again and the coke had still not tested neg from the 5th. He admitted he had smoked with same friend what he believed was the same thing he smoked on the 4th. Again the pot tested neg 5 days later while the coke stayed pos. The third time he tested pos. for pot was March 21st after he did not come right home from school. Since that date I have not let him out of my sight. I can assure you he has done NO drugs. It is now 26 days and he still tests pos. for cocaine. I have had him to the doctor and confirmed the home drug test on March 28th. We also ran test for kidney and liver function, which were normal. We have run HIV screening, test for diabetes, and there is no amoxicilin or tonic water. He seems outwardly healthy except for sinus congestion and itch. when scratched it raises welts. Doctor blames this on allergy season.Let me again tell you I am positive he has done no drugs since March 21st. Where do I go from here? I know it is not normal but is it possible to test pos. for this lenght of time? At what point should he test clean? Should I press the doctor to do further testing? If so for what? Please I hope you can give me some answers. Everyone else wants to say he must still be using. I would rather not put him back in school before this is resolved. I grow increasingly more concerned as does my son that the doctor is missing something each day that passes and he still tests pos.I have not been able to get an answer to this question anywhere please help.
The answer may be easy, especially if he uses a Vicks nasal inhaler which gives a false positive test. The OTC drug kits are screens only and may give false positive results. A urine should be obtained by a method called "chain of custody" and sent to a lab for screening and confirmation. That will answer the question for once and for all. Cocaine does not stay in the urine for more than 4-5 days.
You will have to take your son to a professional laboratory where they do the chain of protocol method where it is much less likely that he can cheat and use someone else's urine. Blue dye should be in the water and water turned off to bathroom. Ideally a male family member could watch him give the sample by actually being in the restroom with him when the sample is collected.
Good luck. It sounds like the screen is most likely giving you a false positive.

White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle says he and his wife sometimes rooted for Eagles quarterback Michael Vick to be injured as payback for Vick's mistreatment of dogs.
"He had a great year and a great comeback, but there were times where we watched the game and I know it's bad to say, but there were times where we hope he gets hurt," Mark Buehrle told MLB.com, according to the Chicago Tribune. "Everything you've done to these dogs, something bad needs to happen to these guys."
The Buehrles, who own three dogs, are highly active in rescuing canines and finding homes for them.
Buehrle's comments were later removed from the MLB.com article that was published Wednesday, but its author, Scott Merkin, tweeted some of them.
Vick, the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year, was sentenced in 2007 to 23 months in federal prison for his role in a dogfighting ring in his native Virginia. He said last year that he would someday like to own a dog.
"Even if you are not a dog lover, how can you sit there and make two dogs fight and one is going to die?" MLB.com quoted Mark Buehrle as saying, according to CBSSports.com. "How could you do that if you are somewhat sane?"
Buehrle isn't the first public figure to wish ill upon Vick. Political commentator Tucker Carlson said in December that Vick should have been executed for his crimes. Carlson later said he "overspoke" but insisted that he was "disgusted" by Vick's actions.

Venezuela Trips
Venezuela is where the Andes meet the Caribbean. The Orinoco river separates great plains from the table-top mountains of the Gran Sabana, where waterfalls tumble in sheer drops into the forest and lost worlds are easy to imagine. If the sea is to your taste, head for the country's seductive coastline – the longest in the Caribbean at over 2500 km. Venezuela's waters play host to some of the best (and least known) diving in the region with three marine national parks.
At the other end of the country, the Amazon is home to humid rainforests and rare plants and animals as well as over 20 different ethnic groups. This part of Venezuela is very much frontier territory and remains wild and untamed, as it was when the country received its first foreign visitor back in 1498. So overwhelmed was Columbus by what he saw that he described it as 'Paradise on Earth'.Read more
At the end of the nineteenth century, Everard Im Thurn set off for the Gran Sabana on the Brazilian border, a strange, fascinating place of waterfalls and tepuys, bizarre tabletop mountains like islands lost in time. His expedition to the highest of these plateaus, Mount Roraima, inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to write of a land inhabited by dinosaurs.
The largest of these plateaus is Auyan-tepui. From its 700-square-kilometre top springs Angel Falls, the world's highest waterfall, named after the American pilot Jimmy Angel, who discovered the falls in 1935 whilst trying to find a river of gold. Nearby is the Canaima lagoon, named by the Pemon indians after a mischievous spirit who was believed to dwell here. The national park is one of the largest in the world and protects a large part of the Guayana Highlands, including part of the Gran Sabana.

1. take some time before you start the meditation session to allow the mind to calm down naturally from the stirring "outside-world" and its commitments (e.g. do a brief chanting or something else which helps the mind to turn towards a supporting attitude for the planed meditation)
2. think about or contemplate on what you are going to do at this meditation session (e.g. metta-bhavana, anapanasati, kayanupassana, vedananukpassana, objects, anicca-dukkha-anatta, 4NT, dependent origination, samatha, vipassana and so on...) and go for one particular task (except in case if you use for example metta-bhavana as a preparatory work to initially calm down the mind (point 1) and then you go on to do anapanasati (point 3), that's also okay)
3. when you feel readily prepared, leave all the worldly commitments aside and keep in mind that your only exercise for the time you meditate will be the meditation - your total commitment is required - don't allow anything to disturb you while meditating and remind yourself if necessary that except for the planed task nothing else will be your business from the moment on when you started your meditation
4. meditate
5. you shouldn't stand up directly after meditation and immediately resume worldly live. take some time after you finished meditation and try to maintain the state of mind for some time. you maybe get the chance to observe how the mind gradually withdraws from the state developed in meditation
best wishes, acinteyyo

If I'm judging meditative success based on the factors like tranquility, etc. sila is probably the main thing. Also proper moderation in exercise, food, caffeine, sleep, television, radio, and having a clean house. I'm not a huge advocate of feng shui but it does at least seem that having a messy house reflects somehow internally, and if one is messy the other will be messy. Props like incense, etc. are helpful pavlovian sort of devices, but the trick is not to get too attached to them. I do use incense and a candle on my altar as it just kind of establishes "this is the time for meditation and not for other activities."

Freawaru wrote:I don't think so. Sila is an inner condition, f.e. one of them the self-consistency of a personality. There are people who are more or less always in some state of lying to themselves, this lying takes so much energy, produces so much diversity, they can't concentrate properly on their own mind (not to mention develop awareness of their own mind).
I don't know why but there are many people who can't stand it if they have done something wrong, whatever it is. They can't face failure or being wrong, even for the small things. So they are in a constant struggle to alter the facts in their mind in such a way that whatever happens it is either the fault of others or did not happen at all. In their mind they are busy altering memories, meanings, intentions and so on. They are not aware that they do so. They really believe what they say, what they remember, what they imagine. They do not lie intentionally to others but they lie to themselves. It is my observation that this type of persons can't meditate at all because they can't concentrate on their own mind. Concentration on other things, work, crosswords, etc seems to be intact but not on their minds and even body is reduced.
I suspect they develop this lack of inner sila because they were taught that external (social) sila is important and has to be kept at all cost.

It was plenty hot for The Greater Bullitt County Youth Football League this weekend, but the league managed to get through the weekend without reverting to the emergency heat schedule.
This was the third of four straight weeks of action for the league before the teams take a break for Labor Day. The teams will then compete for five more weeks before starting post-season play the week of Oct. 10.
The program with the bye this week was the Pleasant Grove Dolphins.

Colin Walsh Named New President of DevaCurl
DevaCurl (The Company), professional hair care brand dedicated to curly hair along with its affiliated Devachan salons has partnered with Tenegram Capital Partners, LLC, a Conneticut-based private equity firm that focuses exclusively on middle-market consumer and retail companies.
Concurrent with this investment, Tengram has recruited seasoned professional hair care executive, Colin Walsh, to serve as President of the Company. Prior to joining DevaCurl, Walsh led Matrix USA, the second largest professional hair care brand in the U.S. and an integral part of the L'Oreal Professional Products Division.
DevaCurl offers a complete line of sulfate, silicone and paraben-free cleansers, conditioners and styling products sold through professional salon distributors and prestige retail partners. DevaCurl serves its clients and stylists through its own salons and education facilities, including its New York and Los Angeles flagship salons. In addition, the Company currently operates two academies where stylists learn about the specific needs of curly-haired consumers and the DevaCurl method of cleansing, styling, and cutting.
Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Walsh added, "I am thrilled to join DevaCurl as its new President at this exciting time in the brand's development. I look forward to working with Denis da Silva, one of the most innovative stylists in the industry, and the entire DevaCurl team to continue to serve, strengthen and grow the vibrant community of curly girls. I am also very pleased to partner with Tengram and the Board of Directors of DevaCurl during this next phase of growth."
Richard Gersten, Partner of TCP, stated, "Having previously evaluated a number of businesses in this category, we found DevaCurl to be particularly compelling, given its passionate consumer base and leadership position in its segment. Curly-haired consumers exhibit a high degree of product loyalty, and DevaCurl has created an almost cult-like following."
"We have tremendous respect for what Denis has been able to accomplish with the DevaCurl brand and its current distribution partners," added Matthew D. Eby, Managing Partner of TCP. "We are thrilled to have Colin, a rising star in the hair care industry, join Denis and the rest of the DevaCurl team to drive the brand's expansion, invest in new salon and academy openings, and build a first class organization dedicated to serving the curly haired community."

Oh-oh, Sysco.
The "O" in Sysco Corp.'s name represents, for now at least, the black eye its food safety reputation suffered when NBC television cameras showed the foodservice distributor using unrefrigerated lockers for temporary storage in the San Francisco Bay area.
Drivers were caught on tape making overnight dropoffs of perishables in three cities. The food and its cooler were too soon parted.
Dropoff locations are a stop on the supply chain most of us probably give little thought to. They're used in the foodservice business, though it's hard to say how extensively.
Drivers covering a big territory may leave a load at a prearranged site for a distributor's sales staff to pick up and deliver to customers.
But if it's fresh produce or meats, any site has to be refrigerated. That's Sysco's policy, anyway, which the company acknowledges it violated in San Francisco.
Sysco vowed swift corrective action. But how could something like this happen?
My guess is that someone at Sysco lapsed into the kind of fallacy or fuzzy logic you'd expect from the consumer who leaves meat on the kitchen counter or in the car trunk for hours at a time.
Instead of asking, in effect, "Is it OK to break the cold chain?" they ask how long it can safely be broken.
For our readers with logic textbooks on the reference shelf next to Red Book Credit Services, it's called the complex question fallacy. It's a form of rationalizing.
But if you use unrefrigerated storage, you ought to be wondering just what it is that you've prearranged.
A drop site? Or a contamination risk?
And you ought to wonder that before the television cameras show up.
What's your take? Leave a comment and tell us your opinion.
