-They're up 28-16 over Rice right now. A win = bowl eligibility!
Bring back Mac!
In before the " If Mac was still here we would be bowl eligible this year" crowd.
Rice just had 8 shots from inside the 2 and couldn't score. And we thought our offense was bad
Paging Tornado Man.... Paging Tornado Man....
They would probably beat us.
No doubt about it
Well there is no doubt they look more formidable on offense.
If they stopped Rice 8 times inside the 2 their defense is not bad either.
12 point lead? Time to take a knee!
All kidding aside, love DMac, no doubt about it. Nice to see Skladany on his sideline.
He would be a great d line coach for any team.
If there is one thing Mac could do that was take average talent on the defensive line and turn them into NFL caliber players. I see thats what he is doing at North Texas.
Good for Danny Mac and NT. I will root for him and his team.
I lost count of how many sacks North Texas has. This is a Rice offense, Texas A&M could hardly handle.
Coach Mac is bowl-eligible... no doubt about it!
Phenomenal. Outstanding. Tremendous.
What he has done with this North Texas team is pretty amazing.
North Texas is bowl eligible
Beat Rice tonight. Congrats to DMac
Re: North Texas is bowl eligible
It's crazy how he has turned that program around.
For reference, the coach before him was 6-37 in the 4 years prior. Never winning more than 2 games in a year.
Re: North Texas is bowl eligible
They played a great game tonight.

Music can help soothe the soul and calm the mind. A single well-crafted song or verse can transport someone to distant lands and times. Music can help some people find their purpose and reason for existing. I write poetry and draw for artistic fulfillment and leisure. Others choose to make their creative work their career. I met C. Theodore "Theo" Howe while pursuing my undergraduate degree at York University and he was kind enough to provide me with insight about his life as a musician.
Theo graduated from York University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Honors degree in Music Composition and Theory. Theo is an accomplished pianist, clarinettist, and composer. He is currently continuing his education in French by pursuing a Master of Music in Music Composition at Université Laval in Québec City.
Theo believes that "art in general can be a means of transcending barriers, whether they'd be emotional, physical, or even spiritual, in some cases. Music isn't any different in that regard".
Theo describes that his passion for music helped him get to know other people: "My interest in music led me to connect with other people who loved indulging in music as much as I did, whether we had a common interest in the types of music we listened to, or just wanted to play in a group setting."
When asked to describe his favorite time when he successfully collaborated with other musicians, Theo cited the Media Music Concert at York University. He described the event as "comprised of about 60 students, all on different instruments, playing various arrangements of video game and/or film music tracks arranged by student composers".
Theo got to partake in the Media Music Concert three times, all times as a performer and two times as an arranger. When asked to illustrate his experience, he relates, "As an arranger, I got the chance to write for instruments that I don't play, while having the chance to explore my creative voice. Taking part in a 60-person orchestra at the same time allowed me the chance to get feedback on my writing for said instruments as well as giving me a place to interact with other musicians in a fairly relaxed working environment."
Overall, Theo expressed that "playing in said orchestra was a blast, because of the entire repertoire. There were times where we could tell that everyone was connecting just because of the way the music sounded so powerful in that moment".
When describing his music, Theo says, "Generally, I use my music to express the things that can't be put into words. I want people to be touched by those emotions and be able to recognize them in themselves, as well as other people." Examples of his work can be found on his SoundCloud page, located here.
Music can also be a great stress reliever & a way to blow off steam. I like to play certain songs when I want to feel particularly confident. The song "Out Tonight" from the musical RENT is a good example of this. I also enjoy listening to music on Youtube when I'm procrastinating on schoolwork or taking a study break. Not every song I listen to is in a language I understand, which highlights Theo's points that music can overcome limitations and go beyond language. On a related note, I really ought to get around to updating my iTunes library one of these days.
When asked how music helps him relieve stress, Theo said, "Sometimes, when the world gets too stressful or overwhelming, the right music track in my headphones turned up to an appropriate volume can be soothing."
Additionally, Theo relates, "From time to time, I've made online and offline playlists of music that help me concentrate on certain tasks I need to concentrate for." This parallels the experience of HMC Blogger Melanie, who has made a playlist for times when she feels down as described here.
You don't have to be a composer or great musician to enjoy the healing power of music. Just select a song, click or push "Play", and let your mind drift away. Also remember that there are likely many people doing the exact same thing, and that you are never, ever alone in your struggles

Black Friday Protests
November 25, 2011 by staff
Black Friday Protests, Occupy Wall Street-inspired protesters are eyeing a new target — Target. And dozens of other companies. A campaign under the name "Occupy Black Friday" is trying to enlist supporters to boycott just about every major retailer, and quite a few mid-sized ones, the day after Thanksgiving. The protesters are casting a wide net, urging people to demonstrate against the top retail stores — a list that includes everything from Wal-Mart to Target to Dick's Sporting Goods to Dollar Tree.
"The idea is simple, hit the corporations that corrupt and control American politics where it hurts, their profits," the group's Facebook page reads, describing Black Friday as the "one day where the mega-corporations blatantly dictate our actions."
But retailers, who are monitoring the mini-movement, warn that a blanket boycott could end up hurting local communities.
"Retailers, regardless of their size, are an important part of the community, and they employ friends and neighbors of that community across the country," said Joseph LaRocca, a senior adviser to the National Retail Federation specializing in loss prevention.
He said retailers have security plans in place and will "work through" any protests and disruptions that occur this weekend.
While warning that boycotts could hurt workers, LaRocca said that retailers are preparing for a "very busy day" and weekend, and that it doesn't yet appear the Occupy Black Friday push will turn into a massive boycott. As of Tuesday afternoon, the group's Facebook page had about 1,250 supporters.
Brian Dodge, spokesman with the Retail Industry Leaders Association, said his group is monitoring the protest to see whether it grows in popularity going into the weekend.
"At this point, we're not sure" what kind of impact it will have, he said. "Retailers, they prepare for lots of contingencies every day and certainly on Black Friday."
Some retailers have earned the ire of customers and workers for planning to open at midnight after Thanksgiving. But the Occupy-inspired protest does not appear to be based on any particular policy of the targeted stores other than the fact that their profits are substantial enough to place them in the top 100 list.
The planned boycott comes as unemployment hovers at 9 percent and the economy crawls out of recession. On Tuesday, the Commerce Department revised its third-quarter estimates to show the economy grew at just a 2 percent rate between July and September, instead of the 2.5 percent rate initially estimated.
Retail sales have been on the rise lately, and companies are hoping Black Friday will be the jolt the industry needs. According to a study conducted for the National Retail Federation, as many as 152 million people are planning to hit the stores this weekend — up from 138 million people who said as much last year.
A post on the Occupy Black Friday website claims the campaign is not an attempt to punish "small businesses or hardworking people."
"We must make a distinction between the businesses that are in the pockets of Wall Street and the businesses that serve our local communities," the site said.
According to the folks at Occupy Black Friday, these offenders include Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Burlington Coat Factory and GameStop.

Counting On The Census?
April 17, 2000
The Census Bureau will produce two sets of numbers for 2000: an unadjusted set based on the traditional headcount and an adjusted set based on a huge post-census sample survey. The Supreme Court has ruled that the adjusted numbers cannot be used for apportioning Congress, but may still be used for other purposes including redistricting and federal grant allocations.
Proponents of sampling maintain that large numbers of Hispanics, blacks, American Indians and Asians were missed by the traditional method in the 1990 Census, with the undercount resulting in a loss of federal funds to minorities. However, the debate over the significance of the undercount has been highly distorted, even misleading.
- In fiscal year 1998, the General Accounting Office studied the allocation of $185 billion that relied on census figures, and found that only $449 million, or 0.33 percent of the money, would have been distributed differently as a result of adjusting the 1990 Census.
- The reason is that population is only one of several factors in most federal grant formulas, and many programs designed to help distressed communities actually reduce funding when population increases.
Adjusting census numbers would not necessarily benefit all undercounted minorities equally. The 1990 post-census survey apparently found proportionally more Hispanics in the barrios of the Southwest than blacks in the cities of the Northeast and Midwest.
Furthermore, it is virtually certain that the complicated system used for adjustment would introduce new errors into the count. In 1990 one such error in the post-census survey (not used in the official count) added one million people to the undercount estimate, and the error went undiscovered for more than a year.

World Cup organizers finally had some good news to deliver after one of Brazil's most troubled stadiums held an important test event without any major setback.
The test match at the delayed Arena da Baixada in the southern city of Curitiba on Wednesday was a step forward, local officials were pleased to say on Thursday.
There were some problems during the friendly between Corinthians and host Atletico Paranaense, with fans facing difficulty getting into the venue, but organizers said that was expected as the stadium infrastructure remains unfinished.
"The pressure paid off after we had all the delays with construction work," said Ricardo Trade, CEO of the local World Cup organizing committee.
"There are some adjustments to make, but everything went well."
3 stadiums still not finished
- Arenda da Baixada in Curitaba still requires some seats to be installed and work outside the stadium
- Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba is not yet completed
- Itaquero in Sao Paolo hosts the World Cup opener on June 12, but still needs work. It will host a test on Sunday.
"We are in the final stretch, there's not a lot left to be done," Atletico Paranaense president Celso Petraglia said. Atletico will try to hold another test match before the World Cup.
The 40,000-capacity Arena da Baixada will host four World Cup matches next month — Iran-Nigeria, Honduras-Ecuador, Australia-Spain and Algeria-Russia.

The article was about the man who is disturbed, possibly to the point of insanity because the mother of his child has moved in with his former best friend. He tries to get attention of people but they do not care about him anymore. It was a very challenging project and the deadline was very tight. I was happy to be able to deliver the final on time. Thank you Paul for the great project to work on! Thank you for stopping by. More to come soon!

Open Golf: How Westwood lost The OpenJuly 21, 2013 Golf News
The Englishman blew his best chance yet on the final day at Muirfield. Here is how his round unfolded...
1st hole – A nice steady start. Finds the fairway in two and leaves his birdie putt narrowly short of the hole. Marches onto the second with The Open firmly in his sights after Tiger Woods makes bogey on the opening hole.
3rd hole – Nobody is panicking just yet but the first signs of nerves ripple around the third fairway as Westwood pulls his tee shot into the rough. However, the Englishman recovers well and is somewhat fortunate to leave the green with only a bogey when you consider the state of his lie from the tee. Meanwhile, fellow countryman Ian Poulter is on the charge and makes his fifth birdie to get back to level par for the tournament.
4th hole – Lee gets back to playing some solid golf and spears his tee shot onto the green at the par-3 fourth. His playing partner Hunter Mahan is in trouble and Westwood makes par and moves on still very much the favourite to take the claret jug. Tiger is in trouble and Poulter climbs into third place.
5th hole – Westwood again finds trouble from the tee, but plays a top class bunker shot to get out of danger. The putter looks red hot as he rolls a long one in for birdie to go back to -3 and two shots clear of the field.
7th hole – The turning point in Westwood's round came at the par-3 7th. With the pin towards the back of the green, Westwood fires into the front left bunker and then somehow fails to get the ball out of the sand on his first attempt. However, a better bunker shot at the second time of asking followed by a terrific putt from 10 feet means he escapes with bogey and drops back to -2.
Lee's Open dream comes to an end, and surely this is the best chance yet thrown away? 8th hole – Another disaster moment as he finds the bunker at the front of the green following an under-hit approach shot and then leaves the escape shot well short of the flag. Another bogey is the result and Adam Scott makes birdie at the ninth. For the first time in the day, Westwood does not hold the outright lead. Although nobody is yet paying attention, Phil Mickelson moves to one shot away from the leaders.
13th hole – Another bogey for Westwood as Lefty makes yet another birdie. Lee is no longer the favourite and people are looking elsewhere for the winner.
16th hole – Westwood's final bogey proves to be the final nail in the coffin. As he makes that bogey, Mickelson is producing heroics on the 18th to win his first Open Championship. Lee's Open dream comes to an end, and surely this is the best chance yet thrown away?

Zeus and Io
Disclaimer: I own very little and certainly not these characters. I stole them, and used them purely for my own pleasure. But don't worry; I'll bring them back. (I think)
English isn't my native language; I'm Dutch, so please forgive me grammar- spelling- and stupid mistakes in general.
Once upon a time in Greece there was a mountain. It was the biggest mountain in whole Europe, so big that clouds covered the top. (Or not, when it was sunny).
On that mountain, called the Olympos, the Gods lived. There were many Gods, because the Greeks liked to have different Gods for different things. For example, if you were in love, you prayed to Afrodite, the love-goddess. And when you hurt your toe, you prayed to Apollo, the God of healing.
But all the Gods thought themselves superior to the others, and they argued who was the most important, who got to live highest on the mountain, who had to wash the dishes et cetera. They needed a ruler. All Gods are immortal, but six were elder than the rest. Three Goddesses, Hestia, Hera and Demeter, and three Gods, Poseidon, Hades and Zeus. While the Goddesses were busy combing their hair the Gods argued.
They couldn't agree, so, in the end, they tossed a coin. (A/N I know coins only have two sides, but this one was very special) Hades became ruler of the underworld, which was called after him the Hades, and Poseidon got the sea. Zeus, the youngest, crowned himself master of the universe. This fitted him well, because he was the most selfish, arrogant and greediest of all. He then married his sister Hera, and a thousand years later, our story begins.
Zeus sat on top of the mountain in a beach chair, stretching himself in the sun. He belched loudly and thought satisfied how well he'd done in life. He had the whole world, and the best place for tanning. But, you know, sitting in the sun all day long doing nothing except being lazy isn't easy. So after an hour or so Zeus stretched once more and peeked over the top of his mountain. The sight was very boring (only a few people working in the fields, their necks burned) so he amused himself for a few minutes by making a giant magnifying glass appear out of thin air and scorching the farmers below with it, like ants. Watching them scream was very amusing indeed, he thought.
When all the people were burned he put his magnifying glass away and turned to the left. His mouth fell open at what he saw and he almost drooled. Beneath him, five young girls were doing the laundry in a little river. After they put the clothes they had been washing away three of them grabbed a ball and started to play. The other two went to sit in the shadow of a nearby tree. Quickly the girls got hot and the three girls playing put out most of their clothes. They were all very pretty, but one sitting in the shadow of the tree beat them all. She had pretty green eyes, and her blond hair fell to her waist. She was the daughter of one of the river gods. Zeus had met her last year, when she was elected 'miss ancient Greece'. Her name was Io, and Zeus was very annoyed she had decided to leave her clothes on.
We've already stated that Zeus was greedy, and not only in food (the most) or clothes (the best), but also in what the Gods called 'mortals'. In fact, no beautiful girl or boy could escape his gaze and his affaires were numerous.
And now Zeus wanted this girl, Io. And there was but one problem: Hera.
No matter how often he tried, he could never get rid of Hera. She was always there, watching him, and in the 897 years they were married, she had changed from an innocent, shy girl to a possessive and VERY bossy wife. But there was no reason why he couldn't try a 534th time, right?
Okay, he was lazy, but if he wanted something, he was usually very quick in getting there before his prey got away. So he decided Hera was of later worry and flew off the mountain. (Yes, Gods can fly). Unfortunately he ate a little too much, and therefore hit the ground a little bit earlier and more painfully than he had expected. But he most annoying part was that the girls were laughing. Laughing at HIM, the master of the universe?
But he had no time for revengeful thoughts now. He got up, straightened his hair, looked at his reflection in the river and went to talk to Io.
'So, darling', he said, in what he thought was his most seductive voice, 'you look really pretty today. Lets go for a walk, hint, hint?'
Io flushed and looked at the ground while all the other girls giggled madly.
'No', she said, 'my father said: never take sweets from strangers and never go for a walk with them.' Zeus sighed. 'But what if we won't go for a walk but for something erm, else?' he tried. Io still shook her head. Zeus flew into a temper. 'who the bloody hell do you think you are, girl?' He yelled. 'Well, I am Zeus, ruler of Gods, master of the universe, and we're going for a walk if you want it or not!' Io paled. She had sometimes heard stories about Zeus and his love affairs when she was eavesdropping on her parents. She tried to get away but alas, Zeus grabbed her and dragged her away, while he made it mist. At least Hera couldn't see him now.
After a while he threw Io on the ground, intending to do some NC-17 rated things with her. But Io struggled with all her might, screamed hard enough to wake the dead, hit him and bit him in the nose (and more private parts.) Finally Zeus grabbed a sock of his and held it under her nose: for the next fifteen minutes Io was so busy trying to get the repugnant smell out of her nose that she didn't notice what Zeus was doing.
Hera woke with a start. Slowly the Goddess of marriage (which proves that the ancient Greeks had a good sense of humour) opened her eyes, mentally preparing herself for the heavy task of getting out of bed. As the Goddess of marriage, she thought it the first task of every woman to stay in bed till three pm, so that she couldn't bore her husband with the next immense task: picking something to wear.
But this day was unlike the others. It started when she decided to wear her pink bikini and throw Zeus out of his beach chair. Her skin definitely needed to tan. But, surprise surprise, Zeus wasn't in his beach chair. And worse, the whole earth was covered in fog. Hera might had to spend three hours to decide if she was going to wear her green or her yellow dress, but she wasn't stupid. So she added fog to her absent husband, the abandoned magnifying glass and that Io he had been raving about for weeks, and at that point she quickly grabbed her sunglasses and flew off the mountain, scaring a couple of birds as she went.
On earth, Zeus looked up quickly as something with great speed flew right at him, and found it to be his worst nightmare: his wife, in a pink bikini, looking like a slightly overweight cow.
So he did the first thing that struck his mind. He changed Io into a slightly overweight cow. As Hera landed she did her best not to look surprised. She had expected him to be with a girl or a boy, or more. Surely he didn't fancy cows?
Putting on her most inquisitive voice she snapped: 'what are you doing here, what is that cow doing here, why is it all foggy, where did you put the sun lotion?'
'Eh', Zeus said 'I was just out walking a bit (this wasn't entirely a lie) and than I saw this beautiful cow and I thought: what a beautiful cow. So I was stroking the cow and...'
'Alright, Alright', Hera mumbled, 'but you don't need a cow, do you? Why don't you give it to me?' 'Well', Zeus said 'if you insist...' 'I do', Hera said, taking the cow and leaving Zeus to stand alone in the fog.
Hera, who knew very well there was something wrong with this cow, set her in a meadow and ordered Argus, a shepherd, to guard her. There she spent her days sweeping flies away with her tail and listening to Argus who rambled on and on about Dolly, his favourite sheep. Zeus, in the meantime, felt very bad about leaving Io.
Not because he had so much of a conscience, but because she was really beautiful, even as a cow. He spent his days on his luxurious bed, watching 'sex and the Olympos' and tearing leaves of his little calendar, which had a wish or an advice on each day. Then one day, he tore away the second of September and he saw (big surprise) the third of September with beneath it: Advice: Do a good deed.
Zeus wasn't really good at good deeds, but this time he knew one very rewarding: freeing Io. So he sent for Hermes, one of his bastard sons, and told him: 'son, I have a very important mission for you. This quest will lead you to far countries and evil people. Perhaps you will get tired or hurt, but it's worth it. Hermes, my lad, I want you to free Io and help her escape from Argus.' Hermes nodded gravely, understanding the earnest of the situation. He grabbed his staff and his sandals with little wings on them, and flew away before Zeus could blink.
When he arrived at the meadow, he saw Io and Argus immediately. He changed his appearance into that of a minstrel and sat on the grass, waiting. Argus, you must know, wasn't an ordinary shepherd. He had one hundred eyes, and when he slept still two of them were open, and he could still see you. Hermes waited and waited, but even as he slept, there were two eyes open. And then he got a brilliant idea.
He got his harp (being a minstrel) and started to play and sing a song. The song was about all Zeus' love affairs and, as you'll understand, that takes time. Lots of time.
And finally, Argus fell asleep, and this time all his eyes slept. Hermes got up, drew his sword and decapitated Argus.
From the Olympos, Hera was looking. 'What a shame', she thought, 'all those beautiful eyes, what a waste.' So she went down and grabbed as much as she could find and sew them on the fan of the peacock, her favourite animal. Then she looked up again and found that Hermes and Io had almost disappeared from her view. Still mad, she sent a hornet to follow Io everywhere she went.
Poor Io was still a cow, and with a hornet zooming behind her she ran, and ran, and ran, till she came across a very big sea. Her father being a river God, she could swim very well and she swam all the way to Egypt. There Zeus turned her back into a girl and, far from the spying eyes of Hera, made love to her again. But when she got two children, and began resemble Hera more and more, he deserted her. And he returned to the Olympos and his normal live, and forgot all about her.
And I don't know if they lived happily, but their story lived ever after anyway.

How To Bug-in and Survive
During a bugging in or hunkering down scenario a person will stay at home and will do everything necessary to survive a crisis. If you have everything you need in your home in order to ride out the storm, there is no need to go outside and test your chances on the road. Although there is a big controversy regarding the bugging out versus the bugging in scenario, leaving the home behind is just not possible for some people.
In fact, bugging in is the first choice for suburban and urban preppers, and many of them will stay inside, trying to outlast the emergency situation. Since an urban prepper doesn't have enough living space compared to his rural cousin, preparing for a disaster requires a lot of planning and resource optimization. One should start by assessing what disasters are more likely to occur in their area and start preparing for the disaster that is most probable to occur and work their way down on the list. The prepping strategies should not affect the quality of their lives, social exposure or monthly budget. It may seem hard to do, but the good news is that many of the preparedness actions you take will become useful for different types of emergencies.
If you planned in advance and you have all the supplies and emergency gear you need to outlast and emergency situation, here is what you should do when it hits the fan.
Assessing the integrity of your shelter is the first thing you need to do as many natural disaster can affect the structural integrity of your house. Check if the walls or support beams have been damaged, if the house could collapse and if it's better to move out until you can do the basic repairs.
For many more bugging in survival strategies, make sure you read the following article:

The Red Sox have now hit a major league leading 50 batters on the year after John Lackey hit Derrek Lee with two outs and no one on in the Orioles seventh.
It was a pretty obvious purpose pitch and both benches were warned afterwards even though no Boston batters have been hit tonight.
Lackey just left the game to a big ovation. He has mostly been an $82 million bust for the Red Sox with an ERA of 5.17 in two years and 7.47 for Boston this year.
But he left after striking out Mark Reynolds who reached as the wild pitch got away from the catcher.
The fire the Orioles showed on the field and in the clubhouse after last night's game looks missing tonight so far, but I guess all teams look like this when they have been shut down.
Even by a pitcher with an ERA of 7.47.

SBJ/November 17 - 23, 2003/Other News
This week in sports business history: Nov. 17-23
Published November 17, 2003
1979: The Houston Astros sign pitcher Nolan Ryan to a four-year, $4.5 million contract, the richest MLB contract at the time.
1994: Greg Norman and John Montgomery hold a news conference to announce an ambitious new golf tour, the World Golf Tour. The eight-event, $25 million tour for the top 30 players in the world is planned to begin in 1995, with each event awarding $3 million in prize money. Fox Television CEO David Evans signs a contract for Fox to own the TV rights.
FOLLOW-THROUGH: The organizers of the World Golf Tour and the PGA Tour began a heated debate over the future of the World Golf Tour. Norman's venture never got off the ground. Eventually, in 1997, the International Federation of PGA Tours, which consists of the PGA Tour and various other worldwide golf tours, introduced the World Golf Championships, which began in 1999. PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem: "It's different than the 1994 initiative that Greg Norman endorsed, in a couple of ways. Primarily, timing and structure." Said Norman: "I was really hung out to dry."
1995: Doug Logan is named the first MLS commissioner, taking over for Alan Rothenberg, who spearheaded formation of the league but passed on the opportunity to become full-time commissioner.
FOLLOW-THROUGH: The league failed to increase attendance and TV ratings under Logan, who lost the support of major MLS investors such as Lamar Hunt and Robert Kraft. In August 1999, Don Garber was named the new commissioner.
1995: Time Warner Inc.'s Norman Pearlstine announces that Bill Colson has been named managing editor of Sports Illustrated. Colson had been assistant managing editor at SI since the summer of 1991. He succeeds Mark Mulvoy, who becomes editor of SI and is given top editorial responsibility for all Olympic projects outside the weekly SI Presents and SI For Kids. The announcement of Colson completes the "bake-off" competition with Life managing editor Daniel Okrent, in which each served a three-month trial period that culminated with "oral exams" with Pearlstine and Time Inc. editorial director Henry Muller.
1997: After 33 years
FOLLOW-THROUGH: Goodyear remains the exclusive tire supplier to NASCAR.
1998: Steve Bornstein is named
FOLLOW-THROUGH: In May 2002, Bornstein stepped down from his ABC-TV president post. At ESPN, Bornstein helped transform a single cable sports channel into an empire that now includes several networks, a magazine and branded restaurants. At the end of his reign at ABC Sports, however, the network had the smallest audience of the four biggest networks among the 18- to 49-year-old audience that advertisers covet.
In January 2003, the NFL named Bornstein CEO of the new NFL Network, which debuted on DirecTV on Nov. 4.
1999: The NCAA signs a record-breaking 11-year pact worth $6 billion, which gives CBS a bundled rights package that includes television rights to the Division I men's basketball tournament and other championships, as well as marketing and Internet rights. The deal begins on Sept. 1, 2002. Beginning with that school year, CBS is scheduled to pay the NCAA $360 million. That amount increases each year, so that in 2012-13 (the last year of the deal) the NCAA is scheduled to receive $764 million from CBS. CBS Sports President Sean McManus says, "We made what we considered a fair and reasonable bid that enables us to make a profit."
1999: The NHL names ABC's Jon Litner executive vice president and chief operating officer. He replaces Steve Solomon, who left to run Univision's sports division.

Rieko Saibara: Manga artist's true-life tale of drugs, booze and cartoons
If we are to believe her Manga-ized autobiographical series, Manga artist Rieko Saibara can put away two liters of sake every night.
That may be pushing the limits of literary hyperbole, but there's no doubt that Saibara, one of Japan's most charismatic manga specialists, likes to take things to the edge.
Each new autobiographical work shows Saibara in a new, darker light, whether it be battling poverty, loneliness, a confirmed gambling streak or the ghosts from a troubled childhood. And she does it all with the help of the bottle.
Now in her mid 40s, Rieko Saibara is one of the country's most sought-after manga artists, with TV mini series and movie adaptations coming out every six months.
The latest is the movie "Mainichi Kaasan" (Everyday Mom), based on Saibara's manga series that graces a corner of a national paper Mainichi Shimbun.
Starring idol icon Kyoko Koizumi -- and in a casting sensation, her ex-husband Masatoshi Nagase -- Koizumi says of the challenge of playing an alcoholic mum, "I want to get to that place ... but it's not easy!"
Town of boozers
Saibara grew up in Kochi prefecture, a coastal land famous for its legions of fearless fishermen and fearsome yakuza.
Kochi men have always been able to "drink like whales" as the local saying goes. But what's less talked about is how the women can drink the whales under the table.
Many of Saibara's manga stories are set in Kochi, and her gentle, childlike drawings belie the violence and abuse in the narratives.
In her stories, young women are abandoned by their families, used as sex slaves by men and drink themselves silly.
Somehow though, her work is poignant, beautiful and full of quiet hope. In Rieko Saibara's scheme of things, life is neither good or bad -- it's just there to be lived.
She launched her career drawing and writing about sex, booze and living on ¥3,000 a month.
Being a mom, being a wife and still keeping sane
The original "Mainichi Kaasan" is not exactly "Peanuts" territory but it is a tale of love.
Heavily autobiographical, it depicts the daily down-in-the-dumps traumas and occasional soaring joys of raising two small kids, while generating page after page of manga for various publications all over the archipelago.
Saibara was married to Yutaka Kamoshida, a Bangkok-based war zone photographer who, when she first met him in the mid 1990s, was already addicted to cheap drugs and Thai whisky.
She literally plucked him out of the dirt, took him back to Japan and gave him a home.
Initially, the couple worked on book projects together and formed their own company -- until Kamoshida was diagnosed with alcoholism and then cancer.
Don't whine, just laugh it off
"Mainichi Kaasan" combined Saibara's own pain and despair of coping with his illness while having to maintain a household.
The pair divorced in 2003, but when Kamoshida checked into rehab they got back together (though not on paper) in 2006.
He died a year later.
The movie "Mainichi Kaasan" glosses over much of the muck, blood and tears depicted in the original series but it succeeds in capturing the tone and spirit of Saibara's manga personality.
She had always held that, "If you have time to whine, it's much better to just laugh it off."
This eventually became the movie's slogan.
Kyon Kyon and her ex-husband team up
Right from the start of the project, Kyoko Koizumi had been slated to play the role of Saibara. But the move to bring in her real-life ex-husband Masatoshi Nagase to play Kamoshida, rocked the Japanese cinema world.
Koizumi -- also known as "Kyon Kyon" -- had been a signature idol of the 1980s, but had also carved out a rebellious, punk-star image that placed her a cut above the typical demure "idoru."
Masatoshi Nagase's big break came with a starring role in Jim Jarmusch's "Mystery Train" (1989) and since then he has worked with a diverse range of Japanese and foreign indie auteurs.
The marriage and subsequent break-up didn't raise a whole lot of eyebrows -- Kyon Kyon and Nagase were just too cool to measure by conventional standards.
Since the divorce in 2004 they've both been seeing other people.
Koizumi's apparently torrential love affair with a young musician (the vocalist from boyband "Kat-tun"), 20 years her junior, sparked a lot of controversy but ultimately ended up adding cache to an already legendary reputation.
A cycle of forgiveness
At the media event launched to celebrate the opening of "Mainichi Kaasan" in mid January, Koizumi said that she had always been "completely enamored" of Saibara's works.
"Through her manga, she taught me the ropes to becoming a formidable adult woman," she said.
Koizumi also added that though she had no children of her own, she got a taste of what it was like to work all day, do the housework and tend to the needs of two demanding little kids.
One of the defining scenes in the movie is that of Koizumi as Rieko Saibara, reading to her children in bed with a glass of shochu grasped in one hand.
Saibara made no secret of the fact that booze was what kept her going, and Koizumi plays the scene with natural charm and penetrating insight.
As the kids clamor for more stories, you just know by watching her how much she needs that drink.
"I love it that Saibara-san is so forgiving and expansive. She never, ever stints on love. Deep down, I think she thinks men are adorable, no matter how many mistakes they make," says Koizumi.
"I think that this society as a whole needs to get to a place where we forgive and love. Then everyone can have a better time," she adds.
"Mainichi Kaasan" opens February 4: www.kaasan-movie.jp

The Tampa Bay Derby has produced short-term pain but long-term gain for trainer Todd Pletcher.
Since 2000, Pletcher has run eight horses in the Tampa Bay Derby, winning it in 2004 with Limehouse while running second six times and third once. His last four runners have been defeated by a neck, neck, neck, and nose.
One of those runners was Super Saver, who two starts after finishing third by a neck to Odysseus in last year's Tampa Bay Derby went on to win the Kentucky Derby for Pletcher and WinStar Farm. Two other Tampa Bay Derby second-place finishers -- Bluegrass Cat in 2006 and Impeachment in 2000 -- also ran second in the Kentucky Derby for Pletcher.
Saturday, Pletcher is back at Tampa with Brethren, an undefeated half-brother to Super Saver who will be heavily favored against eight rivals to win the Grade 2, $350,000 Tampa Bay Derby, the centerpiece of a 12-race card at Tampa Bay Downs. The card, which gets underway at 12:24 p.m. also includes the Grade 3, $150,000 Hillsborough Stakes on the turf and the $75,000 Suncoast Stakes for 3-year-old fillies on the dirt. Pluck, last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner, makes his seasonal debut in a one-mile turf allowance race.
Uncle Mo, last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner and 2-year-old champion, was entered in the Tampa Bay Derby, but will scratch to run in Saturday's $100,000 Timely Writer Stakes at Gulfstream.
Brethren, who like Super Saver is owned by WinStar Farm, won the Sam F. Davis Stakes by four lengths last month. He broke from the outside post in a 10-horse field that day and again drew the extreme outside on Saturday. He also had the outside post last November when he won a first-level allowance race at Churchill Downs going a mile.
In that allowance race and in the Sam Davis, Brethren veered outward at the start. In the Sam Davis, in which he was ridden for the first time by Ramon Dominguez, Brethren quickly recovered and assumed a forward position, stalking the pacesetting Ribo Lobo for 5 1/2 furlongs before taking over at will and winning while being taken in hand the final 100 yards.
"I think there is room for improvement," Dominguez said. "He was just playing with the field last time out."
Pletcher said one reason he is running Brethren back in the Tampa Bay Derby is because of the ease with which he won the Sam Davis.
"He gives me the impression that he does what he has to do, he's like that a little bit in the morning, he's always saving something," Pletcher said Thursday. "The question is going to be when someone makes him run faster can he? He gives me the impression that he certainly can."
In addition to meeting the second-, third- and fourth-place finishers from the Sam Davis -- Too Experience, Watch Me Go and Beamer -- Brethren meets several new faces including Free Entry, a son of Tale of the Cat who has both his starts this year after running fourth to Uncle Mo last August at Saratoga. Free Entry is making his first start around two turns.
"If you look at him he's a solid horse. He's not short, but he's a muscular horse," said Brown, a onetime assistant to the late Hall of Famer Bobby Frankel. "When Bobby had Ghostzapper, I never thought the horse would go two turns. He proved to me you can't make your mind up about them until you try them."
Striding Ahead, trained by Bill Mott, steps into stakes company coming out of a maiden win gong two turns at Tampa on Feb. 5. Others entered include Economic Summit, Crimson Night, and Moonhanger.

Eugene Marshall
Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Florida International University
In August, 2014, my wife Amy and I took up positions as tenure-track assistant professors at Florida International University, in Miami -- she in history/asian studies and I in philosophy. From 2010 until 2014, I was an assistant professor in the philosophy department at Wellesley College.
View my Curriculum Vitae.
I study the history of modern philosophy, focusing on questions of mind and psychology in the 17th Century. My specialty is Spinoza.
My recently published work has addressed Spinoza's views on adequate knowledge, innate ideas, consciousness, the affects, akrasia, and, more recently, the concept of evil. I have also recently completed a book, titled, The Spiritual Automaton: Spinoza's Science of the Mind, available from Oxford University Press in early 2014.
Currently, I am working on the philosophy of Margaret Cavendish, particularly her views on the mind, her naturalism, and her arguments for panpsychism. Most recently, I worked released a teaching edition of her Observations Upon Experimental Philosophy with Hackett. I also recently authored an entry on her philosophy at the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. I also hope to do some work on her proto-science fictional, quasi-feminist utopian adventure story, The Blazing World.
Finally, I am co-editing a new anthology of primary sources, with Susanne Sreedhar, for Routledge, titled, A New Modern Philosophy: The Inclusive Anthology of Primary Sources, and working on several articles on Cavendish and Spinoza.
In the future, I shall continue working on Spinoza and Cavendish, but I shall also expand my work on early modern naturalism, panpsychism, and vitalism in the 17th Century.

Feb 15, 2014 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
Maybe that three-game losing streak the Skaneateles boys basketball team went through at the end of the regular season meant nothing at all.
For when the Section III Class B playoffs got underway Friday night, the no. 11 seed Lakers were reborn, as it went to no. 6 seed Phoenix and, by playing well down the stretch, pushed past the Firebirds 53-49.
While recent defeats to Institute of Technology Central (the OHSL Liberty National division regular-season champions) and East Syracuse-Minoa (a Class A opponent) were understandable, a 55-50 loss to Jordan-Elbridge last Tuesday raised all kinds of alarms.
The Lakers, to its credit, heard those alarms just in time, and did carry an edge of post-season experience over Phoenix, plus confidence that stemmed from beating the Firebirds 63-53 back on Jan. 16, four weeks before their playoff rematch.
Pete Knupp would set the night's tone, hitting three 3-pointers in the first quarter to send Skaneateles to a 15-8 lead. That would account for most of Knupp's eventual total of 14 points, though he would add another 3-pointer later in the game.
With Phoenix focusing its defense on Knupp, Bobby Leslie started to flourish, and the Lakers traded baskets with the Firebirds the rest of the half, taking a 31-23 edge to the break.
And that cushion would prove important, for Phoenix outplayed the Lakers in the third quarter, erasing most of that margin and only trailing by two, 39-37, going to the final period. Dylan Doupe, who finished with 20 points, led the Firebirds' efforts.
From that point on, every possession became important, Skaneateles clinging to its slim margin and Phoenix unable to catch up. It wasn't until Nick Palmer, who had not scored all night, made two free throws in the final seconds could the Lakers seal the win.
Leslie didn't stop until he had a game-high 21 points, eight of them from free throws. Aside from Knapp, Collin Foehl, with 13 points, provided most of the help, as Skaneateles had just one field goal beyond the trio of Leslie, Knapp and Foehl, but still advanced.
That no. 11 seed was largely due to the way it played going into the sectional tournament. Once 8-7, it had ended the regular season on a three-game skid, capped by last Tuesday night's 55-50 loss to Jordan-Elbridge.
Though the Eagles were 4-13 and out of playoff contention, it still wanted one more good memory before the off-season, and started to earn it when it hit lots of shots in the first quarter and roared out to an 18-6 lead.
Skaneateles, who had beaten J-E 60-44 earlier this season, slowly climbed back as the game hit its middle stages, and were only down by one, 39-38, going into the fourth quarter.
But the Eagles didn't flinch, hanging on as Kyle Matousek, constantly fouled in the final minutes, hit a series of clutch free throws. Matousek finished with 26 points, 14 of them coming from successful foul shots.
Meanwhile, Knupp, with 15 points, and Leslie, with 14 points, led the Lakers' efforts. Jake Peterson had eight points as Foehl added six points.
All would turn around at Phoenix, though, and the Lakers now get a chance at a bigger prize when it visits no. 3 seed Utica-Notre Dame in Tuesday night's quarterfinals. A berth in Friday's semifinal at Onondaga Community College's Allyn Hall against Sherburne-Earlville or Bishop Grimes is on the line.

Portland: A Challenging Chart
Portland is supposed to be one of America's great transit success stories. Is it still? Do we know what it's achieving? Do we know how to measure it?
A couple of months ago Portland reader Adrian Lawson pointed me to an Oregon Catalyst article ridiculing the Portland Metro goal of tripling non-auto mode share by 2035. The author, John Charles, Jr., is the CEO of the Cascade Policy Institute, a conservative Oregon think tank that opposes Oregon's land use planning system and generally favors roads over transit, so this is not a surprising view.

Clip-on Architecture: Reforesting Cities
Much of the literature related to the role of the built environment in climate change has focused on new technologies and new ideas which might be implemented in new buildings. Tabula rasa eco-cities trumpeting their green credentials and high levels of environmental sustainability are being planned in the U.S., China, and Abu Dhabi, among other places, and green is the word of the day. Despite these ambitious plans for new cities, one might ask, with all the urban fabric which currently exists, why build at all, and most especially on such a massive scale?

Seattle, Vancouver, and Portland by Rail, Bus, Streetcar, and Foot: Part One
I grew up during the grunge era, with Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder for role models, and the notion that a city could simultaneously spawn and embrace musical icons of social and political dissidence and the bourgeois haughtiness of, say, Frasier Crane, always fascinated me. Seattle was the only major coastal city in the U.S. I hadn't yet spent time in; I was ready to fall in love. Continue reading

Review: Angelfire
Series: Angelfire #1
Pages: 453
Format: Hardcover
Release Date: February 15th, 2011
Rating: 5/5
First there are nightmares.
Every night Ellie is haunted by terrifying dreams of monstrous creatures that are hunting her, killing her.
Then come the memories.
When Ellie meets Will, she feels on the verge of remembering something just beyond her grasp. His attention is intense and romantic, and Ellie feels like her soul has known him for centuries. On her seventeenth birthday, on a dark street at midnight, Will awakens Ellie's power, and she knows that she can fight the creatures that stalk her in the grim darkness. Only Will holds the key to Ellie's memories, whole lifetimes of them, and when she looks at him, she can no longer pretend anything was just a dream.
Now she must hunt.
Ellie has power that no one can match, and her role is to hunt and kill the reapers that prey on human souls. But in order to survive the dangerous and ancient battle of the angels and the Fallen, she must also hunt for the secrets of her past lives and truths that may be too frightening to remember.
I have wanted to read this book so bad and I'm so happy I finally have. And boy, was it ever worth the wait.
WOW. That's all I can say. This is going to be a very bad, very short review because I can't describe it. It was just amazing.
The story line was amazing. The plot was awesome. There were times when I was reading so fast, so caught up in the story, I actually didn't know where I was.
I loved the fighting scenes. I'm so glad that Moulton described them with such detail.
And OMG. WILLL!!!! SO HOT!! I can't get him out of my head. He is hot, he's nice, and he's a bad-ass fighter. Wow. I think I may be in love.
I loved Ellie. She was such a strong character. And I love the role she played.
All in all, MOULTON BETTER RELEASE THE SECOND BOOK ASAP OR I WILL EXPLODE!!!

Blogger RockyBru, Ahirudin Files Application To Strike Out NSTP's Suit
The power of Bloggers vs NSTP. Check out the hidden agenda behind the suit.
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 25 (Bernama) -- Blogger Ahirudin Attan has filed an application to strike out the defamation suit brought by the New Straits Times Press (M) Berhad and four others on the grounds that the suit is fatally deficient because it does not state the exact words in the publications.
The application was filed Wednesday. High Court judge Datuk Mohamed Hishamudin Mohamed Yunus fixed Feb 22 to hear the application.
Thursday was fixed for hearing of the interparte injunction sought by NSTP and the four to require Ahirudin, who was a former editor of the Malay Mail, to remove certain articles from his weblog and restrain him from further publishing articles defamatory to them.
The proceedings were held in chambers.
One of the plaintiff's counsels, Rishwan Singh, told reporters that all parties agreed that the striking out application be heard first before proceeding with the injunction application.
Ahirudin's counsel, Malik Imtiaz Sarwar, told reporters that NSTP told the court that after it had filed the suit, four postings were still posted in Ahirudin's weblog and NSTP claimed that it was subjudice to the trial.
However, Malik Imitiaz said it was very unclear which posting in particular affected NSTP and the counsel needed to get instruction from Ahirudin.
The court fixed Monday to meet all the parties to determine this issue.
On Jan 4, NSTP, its deputy chairman Datuk Kalimullah Hassan, chief executive officer Datuk Syed Faisal Albar, group editor-in-chief Datuk Hishamuddin Aun and former group editor Brendan Pereira filed a suit against Ahirudin for defamation and malicious falsehood.
The suit pertains to certain articles and postings that had been published, or permitted to be published, by Ahirudin on his weblog.
They claim that the articles refer to them and are defamatory.
Ahirudin, in his affidavit to support his striking out application, said the statement of claim did not state accurately the words complained about in the original language that it was published in.
The statement of claim only mentioned the translation which was not verified by the words complained about which was in Malay, he said.
Ahirudin claimed that the publications in his weblog referred to different subjects and related to different individuals and entities, including the plaintiffs.
Asked whether this was the first case that a blogger was being sued, another counsel representing Ahirudin, Edmund Bon, said that from his understanding, this was the first time in Malaysia a blogger was being sued by a newspaper.
The High Court was packed with local and foreign press members and other bloggers including fomer NSTP senior editors such as Datuk A. Kadir Jasin, Datuk Ahmad Talib and Nuraina A. Samad.
The plaintiffs also filed a similar action against another blogger, Ooi Chuan Aun, on the same day for defamation and malicious falsehood.
The suit relates to certain articles and posts published, or permitted to be published by Ooi on his weblog to defame the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs applied for an injunction requiring Ooi to remove certain articles from his weblog, which the High Court granted on Jan 11.
Ooi's case is fixed for hearing for interparte injunction on Jan 30 before Justice Datuk Abdul Malik Ishak.

Welcome back to the Home Management Binder Series! I am sharing my process of creating a home management binder, and hope to pass along some inspiration to others for managing their household. For those of you just joining us, here is a quick rundown of the schedule for this series.
8/24 – Introduction
8/31 – Schedules
8/31 – Schedules
9/7 – Family
9/14 – Pets
9/21 – School
9/28 – Cleaning postponed
10/5 – Home
10/12 – Finances
10/19 – Food and Grocery
10/26 – Health and Fitness
11/2 – Beauty
11/9 – Crafts and Projects
11/16 – Vehicle
Feel free to follow along (or jump in and out depending on your needs) and make your own Home Management Binder as I whip mine into shape! Many of the organizational tools and tips you"l see here can be used in other types of home management systems as well, if binders aren't your thing.
This week I have a super simple binder section that packs a lot of organizational punch. I'll show you how I keep everything needed to keep my car running nice and smooth in this week's Vehicle section.
The first and only printable I have in this section is an Auto Maintenance Log. I was super busy with school this week (2 research proposals due on the same day!) so I wasn't able to make my own…but I do have one better. You can get this printable from Organized Home Life for FREE!
This page provides a place to keep track of everything needed to keep your ride running smoothly. I'm so excited to get this baby going, I'm thinking about going to get my oil changed so I can start filling it out! I also love that below each maintenance task, this page shows after how many miles you should do each task. So if it's been 15K miles since I got my breaks checked, I know I'm passed due for getting them looked at!
After this super printable, I have a sub-section that holds all "official" records from my car. This includes descriptions of work I've had done on the car (ex: my passenger side floor used to flood…yupp standing water in my car), records of my emissions testing and anything else car-related that I feel I should keep for records sake.
There you have my Vehicle section. Sweet, simple and to the point. As always though, I'd love to hear suggestions to add to this section. I've heard of people keeping track of their gas mileage, which I think would be awesome for this section, but I have an app on my phone that works perfectly for that. Any other ideas?
Next Friday will be our final Home Management Binder section! This one is going to be a doozy, and I even put it off for the end of the series because I needed more time to work on it. That's right, it's my cleaning section next week! Hopefully, by next Friday I will have a list and schedule for cleaning every nook and cranny of my apartment. That's the plan anyways, #morethanicanchew? Hope to see you here next week, and enjoy your Thanksgiving!

English director Danny Boyle came to the rescue of French filmmaker Guillaume Canet at the Toronto film festival over the weekend, offering up a theatre to show Canet's new film when glitches forced him out of another.
Canet had arrived in Toronto Saturday for the world premiere of his new French-language film "Little White Lies" ("Les Petits Mouchoirs") only to learn that the projector at the festival's gala venue Roy Thompson Hall could not show English subtitles, "which is a problem for an international film festival," Canet said.
Boyle ("Trainspotting," "Slumdog Millionaire") stepped in at the last minute, offering to move the screening of his new film "127 Hours" to a smaller venue and allow Canet to premiere "Little White Lies" with subtitles in his spot.
Canet and his audience trekked several blocks to the Scotiabank multiplex in downtown Toronto, while the audience for "127 Hours" was asked to wait 90 minutes for a high-definition projector to be installed at another, smaller theatre.
"I was depressed and just before I killed myself, (festival organizers) proposed going to another theatre," said Canet. "Thanks to Danny Boyle who was so kind to leave us his theatre, we were able to screen the film."
"The audience was wonderful because they all followed us in the street to the other theatre. There was a big march in Toronto," he said.
"It was very depressing at the beginning and very exciting at the end."
Boyle commented Sunday: "You can't get too uptight about things like that. It's an amazing festival."
He apologized to his audience for the "minor inconvenience." "You just hope that it doesn't spoil peoples' enjoyment of the film or ruin peoples' schedule," he said.
Boyle said he knew Canet, having worked with him previously. "He's a very good director," he said.
Canet ("Mon idole" and "Ne le dis a personnne") assembled some of France's finest actors -- including Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard ("La vie en rose"), Francois Cluzet, Benoit Magimel, Jean Dujardin, Gilles Lellouche and Laurent Lafitte -- for his latest film exploring friendship, raging hormones and frustrations during a trip to a beach house.
Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire" was awarded the audience prize for best motion picture at the Toronto film festival in 2008. It went on to become a runaway success at that year's Oscars.
The director returned this year with a film chronicling the true story of American outdoorsman Aron Ralston who became trapped when his right hand was crushed by a boulder during a weekend excursion to the arid desert and canyons of Utah.
Over six days, Ralston tried with his right hand and a system of climbing pulleys to pry himself free, as his mind drifted to memories and fantasies of escape, recorded on a camcorder he brought with him.
The film stars James Franco ("Eat, Pray, Love," "Milk" and "Spider-Man") as Ralston, as well as Amber Tamblyn ("The Grudge 2"), Kate Mara ("Iron Man 2"), and Clemence Poesy ("In Bruges," "Harry Potter").
