Concerned That There May Be More Victims
The Putnam County Sheriff's Department reports that it is concerned that there are more victims of Joey Scott Casto, 57, a Buffalo Town Council member and former softball coach.
Casto was arrested Wednesday, October 1st, 2014, and charged with Violating a Personal Protective Order by repeatedly placing himself within five feet of a protected girl-which the Putnam County Magistrate Court is prohibiting him from doing.
In a news release published October 3rd, 2014, on Facebook, Putnam County Sheriff Steve L. Deweese states:
"This investigation into Joey Casto has been ongoing for some time and the situation continues to be investigated, it has been our concern from the start that there are more victims than we are aware of. Joey Casto is a long time resident of Buffalo WV and has been heavily involved in coaching young girls in various sports for years and is currently a member of the Buffalo Town Council. If anyone is a victim, knows a victim, or has information that can further our investigation we urge you to contact Detective Leport at our office by calling 304-586-0256 extension 2251 or Mrs. Leslie Forbis our Victims Liaison at 304-586-0256 extension 2259."
Though he is accused of sending sexually explicit text messages to a 13-year-old girl, that he coached, Casto has yet to be charged for any of those messages. Because she is a juvenile, PutnamLIVE.com is not publishing her name.
Casto was released from custody after posting a $20,000 cash bond.
Publisher's note: All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
A criminal complaint is a legal document that is usually filled out by a law enforcement officer presenting evidence to a judge or magistrate. The judicial official determines if the officer has provided enough evidence to issue a complaint or a warrant for a suspect arrest.

'I am responsible for killing Kenneth', accused tells gardai
A Dublin man has appeared in court charged with the murder of Kenneth O'Brien (33), whose dismembered body was found dumped in the Grand Canal.
Paul Wells (48) told gardai after caution: "I am responsible for killing Kenneth and I gave a true account of what happened."
Mr Wells is accused of killing the father-of-one, whose remains were found by passers-by in the canal last month.
Mr O'Brien's torso was found in a suitcase a day after he was reported missing, with more body parts found later in bags in the canal.
Judge Anthony Halpin remanded him in custody, to appear in Cloverhill District Court next Thursday.
The accused, with an address at Barnamore Park, Finglas is charged with the murder of Kenneth O'Brien on or about January 15 and 16 last.
The murder is alleged to have happened at Mr Wells' home address at Barnamore Park.
Gda Sgt Gerard Moore of Leixlip Garda Station told Judge Halpin he arrested the accused for the purpose of charge at Naas Garda Station at 4.53pm yesterday.
He charged him at 5.16pm and handed him a true copy of the charge sheet.
No bail application was made on the accused's behalf by his solicitor Kieran Conway as bail cannot be granted at district court level on a murder charge.
"There can't be, we have to go to the High Court," Mr Conway said.
Legal aid was granted after Sgt Moore said the gardai were aware of the accused's financial means.
Mr Wells, wearing a blue hooded top over a black t-shirt, black trousers and white runners, did not address the court during the brief five-minute hearing.
Mr O'Brien's partner sat in the court's public gallery during the proceedings.
Mr O'Brien, a JCB driver, was reported missing on Friday, January 15.
He was last seen in the early hours of that morning, when he left his home on Lealand Road in Clondalkin telling his partner he was going to work.
Passers-by found his torso in a suitcase floating in the Grand Canal near Celbridge, Co Kildare, the following afternoon.
Follow-up searches led to the discovery of other body parts in bags further along the canal near Sallins. DNA analysis matched the body parts to Mr O'Brien.
A second man, aged in his 30s, who was also arrested, was released without charge previously and a file in relation to him is being prepared for the DPP.

Immigration Attorneys Helping You with Appeals of Visa Petition Denials in Cleveland and all of the US
When USCIS denies a visa petition (an I-130 or an I-140) the petition may appeal the denial. The visa petition is not the visa at the consulate. The visa petition is the request that USCIS qualify the relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary under the Immigration and Nationality Act. For example, is the petitioner a U.S. employer and is the beneficiary a qualified H-1B candidate.
There are two avenues of appeals. The petitioner can appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). This is an administrative review. The BIA is limited in its scope of review. The petitioner may also appeal to a U.S. federal district court. This is a judicial review which is more expansive. Generally, this type of appeal includes arguments under the Administrative Procedures Act and also claims the USCIS violated constitutional rights of a party. Each path has its pros and cons. Each has filing deadlines. So if there is a denial, quick action is best. Be ready to provide the denial so we can review it.
A distinction exists. A consulate can ask USCIS to revoke a visa petition. This means an approval becomes a pending visa petition again. Courts are split as to whether or not they have the power to review the revocation. Challenging visa revocations is a newer area of immigration law. If you have a revocation of a visa petition, call us immediately to speak with a Cleveland immigration lawyer.
Our immigration attorneys see a lot of marriage fraud denials. Marriage fraud denials must be appealed or the law bars the government from granting a future visa petition for the non-citizen. This is called the 204(c) bar. We also see a lot of Adam Walsh Act denials. We prefer to take both types of cases to federal court because we believe the federal court judges will give us the best chance at winning.
Appeals of Adjustment of Status Denials
When USCIS denies an adjustment of status application (Form I-485), most of the time the non-citizen does not have any underlying status. This means they are subject to removal proceedings. Most of the time non-citizens can renew their adjustment applications in front of the immigration judge in removal proceedings. There are some times where DHS "exercises their discretion" and does not start removal proceedings. There are also times where the non-citizen was still in H-1B or L status when the denial occurred meaning they have an underlying status. When these two instances occur, the non-citizen may be eligible to file an appeal with the federal court. Call our immigration law firm to determine if you're eligible for this type of appeal.
Appeals of Deportation or Removal Orders
When an immigration judge orders deportation (cases started before 1997) or removal (cases started after 1997), the non-citizen may appeal that decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). The BIA must receive the notice of appeal within thirty days of the date of the order. The BIA reviews all aspects of the deportation case or removal proceedings and determines if the immigration judge made any errors that prejudiced the final outcome. The mere filing of the notice of appeal stops ICE from executing the deportation or removal order. Please be prepared to provide a copy of the immigration judge's decision so we can review it. Please call us immediately upon receiving the order from the immigration judge.
Appeals of BIA Denials on Deportation or Removal Orders
If the BIA denied an appeal of a deportation order or a removal order many times the non-citizen can appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals. This is called a Petition for Review (PFR). There is a thirty-day deadline. There is no automatic stay of deportation or removal by merely filing. The advocate or non-citizen must file a Motion for Stay of Removal along with the PFR to keep ICE from executing the order.
Appeals of Naturalization Denials
For practitioners, these are fun. When USCIS denies an N-400 Application for Naturalization, the non-citizen can appeal using Form N-336. USCIS must set a hearing. This is a hearing where the non-citizen can call witnesses and cross-examine the government's witnesses. If USCIS denies the N-336, then the non-citizen can appeal to the federal district court. At this level, the federal district judge conducts the proceedings de novo; meaning he or she starts from the beginning. The non-citizen also can ask for a trial. USCIS becomes the Defendant and many times their attorneys tell them to settle the case because they denied it in error. When USCIS remains stubborn, a trial can be an effective tactic. Please call us if USCIS denied your N-400 Naturalization Application.

Rethinking Camelot: JFK, the Vietnam War, and U.S. Political Culture [Audiobook] by Noam Chomsky
English | July 28, 2015 | ASIN: B010TVJEDI, ISBN: 1522689532 | [email protected] kbps | 7 hrs 14 mins | 198 MB
Narrator: Brian Jones
Noam Chomsky dismisses efforts to resurrect Camelot - an attractive American myth portraying JFK as a shining knight promising peace, foiled only by assassins bent on stopping this lone hero from withdrawing from Vietnam. Chomsky argues that US institutions and political culture, not individual presidents, are the key to understanding US behavior during the Vietnam War.

By Richard Willits, Esq.
Case name: Kadakia v. Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, No. 13-2450 (D. N.J. 03/24/15).
Ruling: The U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey dismissed a former student's suit against Rutgers University.
What it means: A student charged with poor academic performance is merely entitled to an informal faculty evaluation.
Summary: Sarin Kadakia was accepted into a combination undergraduate and medical school curriculum at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Rutgers University in 2007.
In his second year, Kadakia failed two courses. He successfully remediated one of them but failed the other a second time. After a hearing, the school's academic standing committee placed him on academic warning for the remainder of his time in medical school.
In his third year, Kadakia received grades of conditional pass in two clerkships because he failed the national exam in those subjects. Kadakia remediated those grades by retaking and passing the exams.
However, the physicians who observed Kadakia during a medicine clerkship expressed concern over his lack of clinical knowledge and his inability to apply that knowledge to patients. Accordingly, Kadakia received a failing grade, and his appeals were denied.
After a hearing at which Kadakia appeared with counsel, he was dismissed because of persistent academic difficulties.
Kadakia filed a suit claiming he had been denied due process. Rutgers filed a motion for summary judgment.
Assuming for the sake of argument that Kadakia had a constitutional right to continue his studies, the district judge held that he failed to prove the dismissal was beyond the pale of reasoned academic decision-making because there was ample evidence Rutgers properly dismissed him for poor academic performance.
The judge also ruled Kadakia had been afforded far greater procedural due process than the "informal faculty evaluation" that was constitutionally required, because two hearings were held — and he was represented by counsel at one of them — and he had exercised his appellate rights.
Case name: State of Illinois v. Oduwole, No. 5-12-0039 (Ill. App. Ct. 03/06/13).
Ruling: Illinois' Appellate Court reversed the
trial court's judgment, holding that a Southern Illinois University
Edwardsville student was wrongly convicted of attempting to make a
terrorist threat.

July in Victoria BC always starts with a bang: Canada Day. Join in with the local celebrations even if only to ooh and aah at the fireworks displays. In 2017, Canada Day celebrated Canada's 150th birthday.
Visiting Victoria BC in July has something for everyone, from regular summer activities to festivals and events.
For example, the Royal BC Museum presents a major exhibition each summer in addition to its highly impressive regular exhibits. In 2017 "Terry Fox: Into the Heart of Canada" celebrates the inspiring story of this heroic young man. Also: visit the Terry Fox monument at Mile 0 of the 8,000km Trans-Canada Highway, at Beacon Hill Park. While there enjoy a stroll through our favourite park with its floral displays, pond and bridge, heronry, petting zoo, cricket pitch and more.
When I visit a new city I like to check if there are any special festivals taking place. One of these in July in Victoria BC is the Victoria International Buskers Festival. In 2017, this runs from 14th to 23rd July. If you miss the Festival you'll catch a variety of performers on the Inner Harbour causeway every summer day. Look for the one man band (how many instruments does he play?).
The Butchart Gardens are a must for any itinerary, with many hours of delights. These end invariably with a concert on the lawn each evening in July. A wide variety of high quality music is enjoyed in a glorious setting. Afterwards, stay to wander through the illuminated gardens where lights replace flowers for colourful displays. On Saturdays in July there's the additional bonus of a 15 minute firework display accompanied by music.
Summer markets abound where local artisans and farmers proudly present their wares in a buzz of activity. My favourite is the Thursday evening street market in Sidney, just north of Victoria.
Explore the area – the lakes, beaches, hills, wineries and farms and the Vancouver Island coastline that surrounds us for kayaking, sailing, whale-watching.
Do ask your B&B hosts for information about the events and activities that might interest you. Alternatively, visit the Tourism Victoria InfoCentre in the Inner Harbour for details about all that's happening in July in Victoria BC and southern Vancouver Island.

Bacon order
The order arrived promptly and neatly packaged.
Mike Floyd | 28 Mar 2016
49 Year Wait
I was looking for a premium bacon to use in our Farmer's Market "BLT" Throwdown between our mayor and fire chief.I remember eating dinner out at the Amana Colonies in 1967when I played professional baseball for Quad Cities. We ate at a place called Bill Zubers and I remember the food and superior preparation. I figured this bacon and Andouille sausage would be delicious and is just as good as it was back then. It really measures up to the long wait.

Parents ignoring cot pillow risk
Parents have been warned they may be risking their babies' lives by putting expensive pillows in their cots to stop the back of their heads being flattened.
A review of parental attitudes found some were ignoring advice about sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) by letting them sleep with pillows.
Since the 1990s, parents in Ireland and around the world have been advised to put babies to sleep on their backs, in a cot with a flat mattress and no pillows, to avoid SIDS.
This practice has reduced SIDS deaths over time. However, about one in five children now develop a flat area on the back of their head (called plagiocephaly) because babies' skulls are soft and still growing.
For most children, flat head syndrome is mild and not particularly noticeable. But some parents use products that contradict SIDS safe sleeping guidelines, which are as follows:
* always place your baby on their back to sleep;
* place your baby in the 'feet to foot' position (with their feet touching the end of cot).

Mahindra continues testing the next generation Bolero (U301) – Spied
Paranjay Dutt, Likes to read, write, and talk about automobiles whenever he can. The rest of the time, he can be seen behind his camera. Totally fails at writing Author Info, though.
Updated chassis, interior and new engines expected.
After revamping its Scorpio range, Mahindra is looking forward to doing the same with the Bolero. But while the overall design and shape of the Scorpio remained identical, the Bolero will be in for a massive overhaul.
Mahindra continues to test the vehicle, and this time around, the Bolero was spotted in Chennai. The pictures, published by Overdrive, show the similar looking test mule that was featured earlier. The front end appears to follow the XUV 500's design, while the overall length is that of a compact SUV.
It will still be a body-on-frame setup, but the chassis will be hydroformed like in the case of the new Scorpio. The new Bolero (codenamed U301) is expected to have better vehicle dynamics than the current version, while it will also get new engines that are being reportedly co-developed by Mahindra and Ssangyong.
The said engines will be petrol and diesel units, likely to have a 1.5-litre or a 1.6-litre displacement. The modernisation in terms of powerplants and chassis is likely to be reflected in the upcoming model's efficiency figures.
Also read: Mahindra plots entry into Philippines; Indonesia next on cards
Competitors: Tata Movus, Chevrolet Tavera
Expected Price: INR 6-8 lakhs, ex-Showroom
Launch Date: Late 2015 (Tentative)

Hoops Preview 2017-18: Wings
[Photos/graphic: Marc-Gregor Campredon]
Previously: Point Guards
The second part of the three-part position previews comes one day before Michigan opens the season, which means I'm way behind. While the season preview will continue into next week, I should probably post the first game info, right?
Oh, dammit, they scheduled it while the football game is almost certainly going to be in the fourth quarter, and you'll have to pay for a stream if you're not there.
WHAT: Michigan vs. North Florida
WHERE: Crisler Center, Ann Arbor, MI
WHEN: Saturday, 7:30 pm EST
TV: BTN Plus ($, online stream only)
Uh, don't expect an instant recap, but I'll get some notes posted on this game once I get a chance to actually watch it.
Anyway, the wings. Michigan loses two starters, DJ Wilson and Zak Irvin. Kentucky transfer Charles Matthews, a similarly sized player with a similarly broad set of skills, is the clear replacement for Irvin. As for Wilson, well, can we interest you in some three-point shooting? Ask about the rest later.

WTKA Roundtable 11/9/2017: The Capron Conspiracy
Things discussed:
- Craig discovers a ref who's been screwing Michigan for 114 years.
- What-ifs: Lew Alcindor, Antonio Bass
- Minnesota's secondary was all kinds of out of position—not a good test.
- Is inside zone dead and buried? No, but this is a power team now because the guard play, and JBB is moving dudes.
- Once Michigan has a passing game, they'll be able to really punish guys like Wisconsin's 2nd corner, who got toasted by Simmie Cobbs.
- Khaleke Hudson's big day; Winovich would like to know where his stats went.
- Is Michigan backing off Ohio? Michigan is recruiting Michigan and treating the rest of the U.S. as the rest of the U.S. No approach is all upside.
- What happened in Iowa City? Penn State and Michigan State have bad pass defenses that have been sheltered by the Big Ten.
You can catch the entire episode on Michigan Insider's podcast stream on Audioboom.

Fee Fi Foe Film: Maryland Offense
[Guest author: Seth because Ace has bouncy hoopy ball season to preview]
this got charted as "LOLx"
Hi there. How you doing? Have you watched the above yet? Are you done laughing? It's cool, you can watch it again. Here, have another angle. No, it won't get old.
So as you may recall, last year D.J. Durkin and his OC Walt Bell inherited a roster of interception-prone quarterbacks and zero viable receivers tall enough to ride a roller coaster. Their answer was to stack the wee little guys as far away from the play as possible.
just go away
Sure, having all of your receivers bunched together limits the passing game to screens, but given that throwing downfield is more like playing "500" than football, that's was fine. The payoff for this was fewer defenders in range to stop their two excellent scatbacks. I gave Walt major props for this. This is being the best you.
This year they're down to their fourth string quarterback, and not even bothering to have one of those receivers eligible. Who needs five potential pass-catchers when the quarterbacks aren't going to look for more than one or two reads? Every unit placed further from the running game is one less defender who can beat a bad blocker and corral the boys.
I watched the Wisconsin game, which featured an uncharacteristic surfeit of 5-wide sets and deep balls to their various Lilliputian receivers. This is not who you are, Maryland. You know who you are. The most success they had was running the same run play four times in a row from an unbalanced set.
Personnel: My diagram (click to enlarge):
yes their base is unbalanced
(Michigan things: Solomon draws into the starting lineup since he's been there more or less the last two games. Winovich gets flowing beautiful blonde locks by way of apology for having his number wrong all year.)
So, about the above. In early 2017 the Terps tried having a quarterback do more than hand off to Ty Johnson and Lorenzo Harrison, and throw screens in the direction of D.J. Moore. Like run, maybe. Or pass.

Big Ten Basketball Storylines to Watch, Part 2
Marc-Grégor Campredon
ICYMI, Part 1 (MSU, MINN, NW, PUR, IND, ILL, OSU)
College basketball is almost here, so I'll be taking a look around the Big Ten to size up Michigan's competition.
Wisconsin and Michigan: reload or rebuild?
Kenpom's preseason projections have the two teams at right about the same spot (#31 for Wisconsin, #32 for Michigan), and the similarities between the two programs are rather striking. In the last installment, I wrote this:
Last season, three Big Ten teams made it to the Sweet 16. Those three were the only teams in the Big Ten ranked in the Top 25 in Kenpom's or Sagarin's final rankings – and the three finished in the Top 25 in both. They were Purdue (the Big Ten regular season champs by two games), Michigan (the four wins in four days Big Ten Tournament champs), and Wisconsin (who knocked off the NCAA Tournament's top overall seed). For what was somewhat of a down year in the conference, a trio of teams coalesced into a top tier by the end of the season.
Purdue retains almost their entire core (with one notable exception) from last season, while Michigan and Wisconsin do not.
The similarities between the two programs are striking. Nobody else in the Big Ten lost more from their senior class than Wisconsin: Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig were three-year starters who were rotation pieces as part of two Final Four squads – adding in Vitto Brown and Zak Showalter, the Badgers had four starters in their final year of eligibility last season. Together, they played over half of Wisconsin's minutes. Michigan only lost two seniors, but Derrick Walton – who blossomed into a star late in his career – and Zak Irvin were cornerstones of the program; they led Michigan in minutes, points, assists, and shot attempts. DJ Wilson wasn't a senior, but his absence will be acutely felt as well: two-way big men with an NBA frame and NBA skill-set are rare commodities in college hoops.
Wisconsin and Michigan also have the same prospective strength entering this season –their centers. Ethan Happ has been a fixture in the Badger lineup for two years, and he should be one of the best players in the country. His statistical profile is a marvel, as he scores and rebounds like a traditional big man (he doesn't shoot from further than ten feet away from the hoop, gets fouled a lot and bricks a lot of free throws, and was in the top ten of both offensive and defensive rebounding rate in Big Ten play last season), but he's a rare defensive talent (he's a great shot-blocker and led the Big Ten in steal rate at 6'10) and led Wisconsin in assist rate by distributing from the post.
Michigan's Moritz Wagner is also intriguing, as he burst onto the scene a year ago as a sophomore, flirted with an early entry into the NBA Draft, and returns as a popular preseason First-Team All-Big Ten selection. Wagner is less proven than Happ (and his defense is far worse), but his offensive versatility is quite impressive. Moe shot 66% from inside the arc, 40% from outside, and 73% from the free throw line; he's a nearly unguardable weapon in Michigan's ball-screen offense; he can beat smaller or comparably-sized defenders off the dribble with an arsenal of moves. Wagner's presence unlocks plenty of five-out lineups for the Wolverines because of his shooting ability as well.
The Big Ten is stacked at the five this season, with Happ, Wagner, Michigan State's Nick Ward, Purdue's Isaac Haas, and solid starters at Minnesota, Northwestern, and Penn State. Happ and Wagner are probably the best of the bunch, and they'll be integral in Wisconsin and Michigan's efforts to maintain their success from last season.

Upon Further Review 2017: Defense vs Minnesota
SPONSOR NOTE. This was going to be a three-thousand word sponsor note because there's not much to say about this game, but Matt was like "no, stop that," like most of our advertisers have to say to us on a regular basis. "Please stop doing that," Matt said, "and instead have a brief item noting HomeSure Lending's ability to get you a mortgage from the comfort of your own home rapidly."
Thus this note, which is not an exegesis on various details of mortgage lending, and that's just another reason to get a mortgage from HomeSure.
FORMATION NOTES. Like last week, Michigan spent the vast bulk of this game in a four-man front. Whether that's disrespect to the opposition's passing game or Aubrey Solomon emerging into Michigan's best option as the seventh guy in the front seven is to be determined.
Minnesota was all three-wide gun except when they were in their irritatingly effective jet sweep package.
More on this in a bit.
SUBSTITUTION NOTES. 247 published snap counts earlier in the week so no speculation necessary: the back seven barely changed, with McCray, Bush, Kinnel, and Hill getting all or almost all of the 60 snaps. Long and Watson split the other CB snaps. Metellus would have gone the whole way but for his ejection; Glasgow entered in his place.
There was more rotation up front. Gary, Winovich, and Hurst got about 90% of the snaps before Minnesota's late FG drive; Solomon had 26. Kemp, Paye, Marshall, Mone, and Dwumfour all got 10-20 snaps. Uche got 5, Rueben Jones 2.
[After THE JUMP: another week, another Big Ten quarterback.]
Opponent Watch 2017: Week 10
About Last Week:
Karan Higdon looked around. Was he supposed to keep going? He thought so, but he hadn't seen anyone for a while. Had they forgotten about him? And was he going the right way? He felt like he had already been by this spot. How would he know when his journey was supposed to end? This was all very disconcerting.
Nevertheless, he continued forward. He hoped to reach civilization by daybreak.
The Road Ahead:
Maryland (4-5, 2-4 B1G)
Last week: Lost at Rutgers 31-24
Recap: We're going to conduct a little test. Take your index finger and middle finger on your right hand. Put the fingertips together, side-by-side. Press them on your left arm just below the wrist, midway between the middle of the wrist and the top of the arm (the left thumb extended). Apply light pressure. Good. Now, do you feel that rhythmic "bum-bump"?
Congratulations, dear reader. You are now on the Maryland quarterback depth chart.
Piggy is out with an injury. Kasim Hill is out with an injury. Caleb Henderson is either injured or bad. Max Bortegschlager is bad, and may or may not be out with an injury. This may leave Ryan Brand as Maryland's starting quarterback. Yes, THAT Ryan Brand. The [/comically exaggeraged airquotes] 5'11", 182-pound dual threat quarterback from Detroit.
And it's not like things were going well for Maryland to begin with. They were already losing to Rutgers in the fourth quarter when Bortenschlager went out with an injury. Rutgers played them evenly in yards per play and yards per pass, and outpaced them in yards per carry.
So, yeah. Not Great Bob Dot Gif.
This team is as frightening as: Geez, I was already so mean, and this crap isn't their fault. So let's just say "a thing which is not especially frightening given the totality of the circumstances." Fear Level = tries hard
Michigan should worry about: Maryland has only allowed one play of 40+ yards in conference play.
YES YES I KNOW they have allowed the most plays of 10+ yards and 20+ yards.
Michigan can sleep soundly about: Look man, if you can't take at least some refuge in the term "5th-string quarterback," I don't know what to tell you.
When they play Michigan: Maybe the real Maryland quarterback was the friends we met along the way. No, seriously. Those random people we met along the way may be taking snaps on Saturday.
Next game: vs. Michigan, 3:30 p.m., BTN (Maryland +16.5)
Wisconsin (9-0, 6-0 B1G)
Last week: Won at Indiana, 45-17
Recap: And just like that, Wisconsin is the Big Ten's last great hope to make the College Football Playoff. Although, at this point, it is almost more accurateto analyze them in the "should we consider this mid-major" framework. This is from Bill C's Wisconsin page:
If you don't obsessively review Bill C's team profile pages every week, I don't know if we can be friends anymore
Wisconsin has run roughshod over their opponents who have been almost uniformly bad. Their best opponent thus far was FAU. Their second-best opponent was Purdue. They close with Iowa (but you only get like 60% credit for beating Iowa at Not Kinnick) and Michigan, but unfortunately Michigan has fallen from potential "marquee win" to a "solid win." And to make matters worse, they will be facing a team with at LEAST two losses in the Big Ten Championship Game.
Oh yeah they played Indiana this weekend and beat Indiana because Indiana doesn't win anymore.
This team is as frightening as: The prospect of seeing the thousands of articles this offseason where some Jabroni declares 2018 to be a "make or break year," and unironically using the term "hot seat." Fear Level = 8.5
Michigan should worry about: Alex Hornibrook leads the Big Ten at 9.2 yards per attempt, and he has the second best passer rating of any QB in the conference.
Michigan can sleep soundly about: Hornibrook has thrown at least one interception in every conference game. His percentage of passes picked off in Big Ten play is 6.8%, which is by far the worst in the conference. It's worse than Jeff George Jr. (4.5%), John O'Korn (4.3%), Clayton Thorson (3.2%), the two-headed monster at Purdue (2.6%), and the two-headed esquilax at Minnesota (5.0%). Hell, his conference interception rate is more than double the conference interception rate of Tanner Lee.
When they play Michigan: I think Michigan can stop Wisconsin. I think Wisconsin can stop Michigan. So... tie?
Next game: vs. Iowa, 3:30 p.m., ABC (UW -12.5)

Women filmmakers who specialize in the horror genre have a formidable capacity for innovation and dispelling popular, dismissive opinions that overwhelm the genre. They create intense, dark narratives that provide plenty of gore as well as plenty of insight about men and women in our society.
Philly Loves Women in Horror aims to showcase films by women horror directors, enrich the Philadelphia artistic community, and make charitable donations to Lil Filmmakers, a local non-profit organization that gives our youth the opportunity to learn all aspects of filmmaking under the guidance of founder and Temple University film school graduate Janine Spruill.
A Q&A panel has been added that includes the founder of Women in Horror Month, Hannah Neurotica along with local and regional horror bloggers, artists, and filmmakers. The discussion will cover women in horror in front and behind the camera and how these women are radically changing the film and horror industry landscape.
The wide range of diversity with this coming year's award winning film selections span North America with a pit stop in Tasmania.

I'll make this short because I am not certain if I am allowed to talk about anything academic here. The past two months has been such a wild ride. I haven't eaten well because — I was stressed out with all the duties and stuffs; one of my closest friends in Australia went home (for good); my neighbor, who was so close to my heart as well, moved to Brisbane; I had exams; I had assessments; my Mom's annual medical check up did not turn out to be that good; I started working after months of relying to Papa's finances; I gave away my other beloved iPhone; and my heart got broken (kidding). 😂
So as not to be choked up with all of those, I went out. You know, I had to give myself a break. I thought about simple stuffs – watch how the sun sets over and over, maybe even chase sunrise if that's possible, play with dogs, eat a slice of cake, get lost, get found – I was up for anything! Luckily, I was able to go outside the jurisdiction of my "usual" spaces with the help of some good friends.
I am fortunate to have met a few good people in Canberra (drama starts now). It just feels nice to have someone to laugh with (and laughed at). For me, it does not really matter where we all come from, what our individual lives are, and how we even met, which I forgot by the way, as long as we make each other feel comfortable and cared for.
So that's it! That's the end of the term.

Tired of those political fundraisers that take you for a "fun" time swatting mosquitoes in the Louisiana bayous, hunting alligators or fly-fishing or maybe horseback riding?
Tired of schlepping your golf gear out to Dulles? Long for the good old days in 1920 when real politicians broke a GOP convention deadlock in a smoke-filled room in a Chicago hotel and gave the country none other than President Warren G. Harding?
Then return to yesteryear with House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) on Nov. 14 as he hosts a "cigars and cocktails" fundraiser for Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.). Our invite emphasizes that Diaz-Balart is also a member of that all-powerful committee. Best of all, you don't really have to go anywhere. The event is conveniently located just steps from the House side of the Capitol. The "suggested contribution" is only $2,500 for a "host" and $1,000 to attend.
But don't expect to be smoking one of those Cuban Behike BHK 52s at the event. Those would of course be illegal under the U.S. trade embargo on Cuban products. Still, maybe they'll have a fine Flor de las Antillas Toro, made by Cuban emigres, and voted cigar of the year in 2012 by Cigar Aficionado.
For a thousand bucks, surely they'll have some good smokes.

LEGISLATIVE BRANCH APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2008 -- (House of Representatives - June 22, 2007)
Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Chairman, I yield myself 30 seconds.
I want to thank the gentlewoman from California for her leadership on environmental issues and look forward to working with her on continuing the Speaker's leadership on the Green the Capitol Initiative, both in terms of planting of the trees and the greening of roofs, and I look forward and appreciate her input.
Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Chair, I think it's unfortunate that the gentleman from Georgia, the distinguished former chairman of this committee, has chosen this opportunity as a message opportunity, as opposed to working together in a bipartisan way, like the ranking member and I have done, to make sure that we can provide for the safety and security of the facilities of this institution.
He knows full well that the Capitol Visitors Center and the employees of the subcontractors that have been engaged to build that facility, while moving entirely too slowly, and we certainly have decried the cost overruns, are required to hire people who legally may work in this country and are required to ensure that a background check and a security check has been done on them. So his remarks are unfortunate, but everybody makes their own choices.
In conclusion, Madam Chair, I am really proud of the work that the subcommittee and I have engaged in. We offer this legislation to the House and ask for their support. We have endeavored to make sure that this bill is fiscally responsible, provides for the life, safety and security of the needs of the people who work here as well as the people who visit us here, and make sure that we can engage in Congress's oversight role and provide for accountability for the American people.
I look forward to continuing to work with Mr. Wamp from Tennessee on making sure that we can consistently provide those initiatives for the American people.
Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Chair, very briefly, I fully support this amendment and appreciate the bipartisan cooperation that was endeavored in moving it forward.
I do want to express some concern about how the light bulbs will be adapted to the historical lighting that we have in this facility, in the Capitol complex.
I look forward to working with the sponsors of the amendment as we move this legislation through conference to ensure that that occurs.
Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. I look forward to working with all of my colleagues and Mr. Wamp as we move through the conference process and commend them, as well as Speaker Pelosi, for including the shifting from the light bulbs we use now to energy-efficient and environmentally friendly light bulbs as part of the initiative of the greening of the Capitol.
I yield back my time.
Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to this amendment for a number of reasons.
While I support the gentleman, who is from the same generation that I am, in his endeavor to make sure that we can communicate and receive information in an electronic format, the approach that the gentleman is taking is absolutely inappropriate and won't accomplish his goal.
We have crafted a tight and fiscally responsible bill. As I outlined in general debate, we have held the bill to a 4.1 percent increase. We actually held it to $276 million below the total request.
In their traditional views, the minority agreed. They said that, on balance, the funding provided in this bill to operate the legislative branch agencies is fiscally responsible. This amendment would add to existing shortfalls. It would add to what is already a growing funding shortfall in this account.
To be fiscally responsible, we have had to make some tough choices, including funding levels for GPO. The bill already, our colleagues should know, holds congressional printing and binding $62,000 below what was provided in fiscal year 2007. GPO is expecting an $8 million shortfall in this account in fiscal year 2007 in addition to a $3 million shortfall in fiscal year 2006. These shortfalls are due to the flat funding provided to this account since fiscal year 2007, in spite of increasing costs and workloads. These shortfalls will continue in fiscal year 2008. Eventually they are going to have to be paid.
This amendment would make that situation even worse. Most of the appropriation for congressional printing and binding goes towards Congress' printing requirements. I want to point out that the gentleman is incorrect when he states that there is a statute. While there is a statutory number in the Code that the GPO is told to print, they only print the number that is requisitioned. In other words, they only print, on a daily basis, the number that they are asked for. We have a deficit in the account that allows them to print the number that is asked for. GPO has no control over those requirements. It's required by law to produce the information.
If the gentleman is concerned about the number of printed materials being produced, he should take it up with the authorizing committee, the Joint Committee on Printing, and seek reductions in the amount of material that GPO is required to print in the Code.
Simply gratuitously cutting out and leaving people with the impression that we are doing something, when we are not, and all we are doing here is cutting $3.2 million when GPO will still be required to print the Code, is the wrong approach. The suggestion that this amendment was accepted previously but then cut out in conference also leads people to believe that we have done something when we have not.
I refuse to be disingenuous when it comes to being forthright with the American people. We do need to make sure that in the future the Congressional Record is produced electronically. This is not the right way to do it. It is irresponsible. I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Chair, I just want to point out that the amendment offered by Mr. Flake does not say anything about reducing the number of copies printed of the Congressional Record. It simply cuts $3.2 million out of the Congressional Printing and Binding account. It provides no direction. It simply cuts that funding. There is no assumption that any of what the gentleman is suggesting would occur. It would simply further add to the deficit.
Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Chair, I really believe that we should approach this in the appropriate way. If we want to change the statute and go to electronic production of the Congressional Record, that is what we should do. We should not simply hamstring the GPO by requiring them to print a Congressional Record and not ensuring they have adequate funds to do that, when they are already in a deficit situation.
I urge my colleagues to oppose the amendment.
Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Chair, this is a fiscally responsible bill. Again, we have held the bill to a 4.1 percent increase, only $122 million over actual spending in fiscal year 2007, and if you take into consideration the $50 million rescission in the CR, we are at a 2.3 percent increase. That is $276 million below the total budget request.
Again, I want to point to the minority views, where the minority agreed this bill is fiscally responsible. They say, ``On balance, the funding provided in this bill to operate the legislative branch agencies is fiscally responsible.''
This bill funds the must-have's, not the nice-to-have's, by targeting increases towards keeping the agencies running, providing Congress with the tools it needs to perform its oversight responsibility, and funding critical security and life safety projects.
The amendment, if adopted, would eliminate $50 million worth of critical health and safety and security projects that we would be unable to fund if a 4 percent across-the-board reduction were adopted.
This amendment would eliminate funding for things like the $5 million we have in this bill to ensure that the Capitol Police have interoperable radios. According to the new police chief, a new radio system is their number one priority. The existing radio system is 20 years old. It is antiquated and outdated. It is not encrypted nor secure, and it is not interoperable. Hurricane Katrina showed the importance of interoperable communications during a crisis.
It also would eliminate funding potentially monitoring the utility tunnel abatement. We had tunnel workers who were subjected to horrendous conditions and have been exposed to asbestos, and we are endeavoring to make sure that we can make up for that and provide the funding for the abatement. That would be impossible if this amendment were adopted.
We provide $1.2 million for escape hoods for our Library visitors, $1 million for emergency exit signs and lighting in the capital, and emergency lighting upgrades in Rayburn.
The amendment would also impair our agency's work. It would put the legislative branch agencies back to a fiscal year 2006 funding level since there was no increase in 2007.
In practical terms, the impact of this would be less capability on the part of GAO to assist Congress in its oversight responsibilities; fewer and less timely products from CRS to assist Members in their legislative duties, a further reduction in CBO's ability to score Member bills, which was pointed out in the Rules Committee as already being a problem; elimination of the digital talking book conversion program for the blind; a reduced ability for the Office of Compliance to pursue health safety issues around the Capitol complex, even as we get ready to add new space with the approaching opening of the CVC; the Architect's operations would be strained to keep up with increases in utility costs; and, finally, since 77 percent of this bill is labor costs, as is most of the increase, this amendment would surely result in a reduction in our workforce.
It is irresponsible. Mr. Wamp and I have endeavored to put forward a bill that is fiscally responsible, fiscally tight, and ensures the life, safety and security needs of the people who work and visit here.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. I want to point out and remind my colleagues that Mr. Wamp and I are proud to report to you that we have brought the legislative branch appropriations bill in at $276 million below the request. The easiest thing in the world to do is jump on the table and to cry waste.
I want to also point out that this is a security upgrade, funding for security upgrades requested by former Speaker Hastert and continued by Speaker Pelosi so that we can ensure that we provide swing space for our very cramped space so that we can properly renovate the Cannon and Longworth House Office Buildings.
I ask my colleagues to come over and look at these pictures of the deterioration of our facilities. These are pictures of the 100-year-old Cannon House Office Building. If you take a look at the deterioration and life, safety and security upgrades that this facility needs, we can no longer wait to make these upgrades, and to make sure that we can protect the people who work here and the people who visit us. They are deteriorating and badly in need of renovation.
What the gentleman from Georgia's motion to recommit would do is delay for years, if not make it impossible, for us to begin renovation and repairs on our aging House facilities.
My colleagues, this committee does not deal with the sexiest of subjects that confront us every day, and I have only been here for 2 years and the chair of this subcommittee for the last 5 months. You don't earn a reputation as an institutionalist in that short period of time, but it is my hope to be able to do that over time.
We are stewards of this great institution, but we are also stewards just as much of these facilities. My colleague on the Appropriations Committee, José Serrano of New York, recently made a wonderful suggestion to remind us of the history embedded even in what may seem mundane, the space we occupy each day. He suggested that we each have plaques in our offices with the names of our predecessors in Congress who occupied that space before us. My own office, I was thrilled to learn, was once occupied by former Congressman Lyndon Johnson.
My point is they may seem like buildings and office space to the outside world, but we know better. How many of us countless times have found ourselves approaching this beautiful building we are now in and marveling privately to ourselves, wow, I work here, what an incredible privilege.
But with privilege comes responsibility. We must think about the institution, but we must also think about our hard-working staff. The number of hours they toil in these facilities is mind-boggling. You might be surprised to learn that the average work space for each of our staff is about 36 square feet. And I want to show you what 36 square feet is. This is 36 square feet. That is how much space that we allot, on average, to our employees.
GSA recommends an average of 100 square feet of space per employee. We need to renovate so that we can make sure we are not cramming our staff into unreasonable boxes for hours on end. Our staff make incredible sacrifices to serve the public, our constituents, and they help us do our job. We must make sure that we keep these facilities, the place they work every day and night, safe for them. We must make sure we keep these facilities safe and in good condition for our constituents and our successors.
Mr. Kingston's amendment is well-meaning, but it is not responsible, and it is not an eye toward the future with respect for our past. I strongly urge you to vote against the motion to recommit.
Mr. HOYER. Would the gentlelady yield?
Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. I would be happy to yield to the gentleman.
Mr. HOYER. It was my understanding you indicated this is the initiative of Speaker Hastert; am I accurate?
Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Yes, it is. It is an initiative from former Speaker Hastert.
I strongly urge you to vote against the motion to recommit.
Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Redheaded British Actor Rupert Grint Constantly Mistaken For Redheaded British Singer Ed Sheeran
It's safe to Rupert Grint, the English Harry Potter star who played Ron Weasley for all eight films in the iconic fantasy franchise, has a memorable face… But sometimes it's memorable because it looks like someone else.
Appearing on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Monday (March 6), the actor revealed that he is often mistaken for his friend, pop star Ed Sheeran, out on the street.

"It's kinda 50/50 now. It's like if someone stops me, it could go either way. I could be Ed or I could be me," he said.
Funnily, it's not just fans who mistake Grint for Sheeran—though he takes it all in stride.
"[Singer] Leo Sayer, he came up to me at an event and he said he loved my music," Grint remembered, laughing. "Of course, thinking I was Ed. I just, yeah, I play along!"
Then again, maybe the mix up wouldn't happen quite so often if Sheeran didn't cast Grint to play him in his 2011 music video for "Lego House."
