It was 1986, and Jan Warren knew she had to do something to change her life. She wanted to get home to California where her father had just died and left her a produce business. But Warren, 35, was stuck on the East Coast with no money, in a dead-end relationship and pregnant. Desperate, she made a mistake: She agreed to sell cocaine for her cousin. It was the only time Warren had ever sold drugs, and it turned out to be a police sting.
Under strict New York drug laws, Warren was given fifteen years to life. And one sunny Memorial Day in the prison yard, Warren suddenly understood that serving time in prison was going to cost her more than her physical freedom. "I knew people who had died in the wars. I thought of them on Memorial Day–that's what you were supposed to do," said Warren, now 52. "But on that holiday, I realized that something was missing. It was the American flag. It was gone. I couldn't see it. And that should have been my first clue. If you saw the flag you might think of yourself as a citizen with certain inalienable rights, and the truth is, that's wrong."
Warren added, "I didn't realize that part of the whole prison system is set up to alienate you from society, because now I can't vote. And without being able to vote, what politician is going to say, 'Well, Ms. Warren, you have a very good point and because you're one of my constituents I'm going to listen to you'?"
Eventually Warren, a registered Republican, wrote to New York Governor George Pataki after serving six years, and she was later granted clemency–but still not the right to vote. New York laws say any felon in prison or on parole loses that right, and Warren may be on parole for life.
Tough drug laws are one of the primary reasons women like Warren end up in prison. Drug laws are also one of the principal reasons that today one in twenty men can expect to spend part of his life in prison. And an exploding prison population means nearly 5 million people are unable to vote because they have been convicted of a felony–defined as any crime that carries a sentence of a year or more in prison. Today felons and former felons are the single largest group currently barred by law from voting in the United States.
Voting rights are left up to the states, so the laws vary. Only Maine and Vermont allow prisoners to vote. Most states take the right away from those in prison and also those on parole or probation. While most states also return the right to vote once the terms of a sentence have been completed, thirteen states, five of them in the South, take voting rights away for life–a punishment extremely rare in the rest of the Western world. As a result, there are now more ex-prisoners than prisoners in the United States who can't vote.
Civil rights advocates predict that voting rights for prisoners and ex-prisoners will be the next US suffrage movement, as lawyers, prison advocates, voting rights groups and foundations have recently begun to join forces and take up the cause. "The United States, this great democracy, was founded as this experiment, and it was a great experiment. But it was a very limited one as well," says Marc Mauer of the Sentencing Project, a prison advocacy group in Washington, DC. "At the time the country was founded, essentially a group of wealthy white men granted themselves the right to vote." Mauer says that today, we look back on that decision with some degree of national embarrassment, and our history since then has been one of trying to open the franchise.

Can you arrange the shapes in a chain so that each one shares a face (or faces) that are the same shape as the one that follows it?
Each of the nets of nine solid shapes has been cut into two pieces. Can you see which pieces go together?
How can we as teachers begin to introduce 3D ideas to young children? Where do they start? How can we lay the foundations for a later enthusiasm for working in three dimensions?
Each of these solids is made up with 3 squares and a triangle around each vertex. Each has a total of 18 square faces and 8 faces that are equilateral triangles. How many faces, edges and vertices. . . .
60 pieces and a challenge. What can you make and how many of the pieces can you use creating skeleton polyhedra?
These models have appeared around the Centre for Mathematical Sciences. Perhaps you would like to try to make some similar models of your own.
A very mathematical light - what can you see?
Toni Beardon has chosen this article introducing a rich area for practical exploration and discovery in 3D geometry
In a recent workshop, students made these solids. Can you think of reasons why I might have grouped the solids in the way I have before taking the pictures?

The clouds of doubt and fear
Mysteriously swept away
Have left the heavens clear.
And I am glad to be alive,
Though neither ricts nor great;
Let whatsoever may, arrive,
Today I laugh at fate.
My heart is light. Mayhap I've
My cares out for recess,
But something in the air is meant
For me and happiness.
Hilarious youngsters trip my feet
As I approach the door,
And friends with smilling foces
The man they take me for.
And she, the queenly mother,
The odorous warmth of May.
I'm happy. Can you wonder ? Isn't
This a glorious day ?

those who succumbed to the
scourge were firstL attacked by
sneezing. The Pope, therefore, or-
dered prayers said against it.
Presently--for their own protec-
tion and the protection of their
friends--the people were crying
"God bless you!" to everyone who
sneezed. The phrase is still' in
general use.
Among non-Jews one of the
most widespread of superstitions
notions is that thirteen is unlucky,
and so general is this notion that
many hotels do not have a room
number thirteen. How the super-
stition originated no one knows.
The most popular explanation,
however, is that there were thirt-
for luck." That was meant to be
a warning against extravagance.

That then and then only, shall
that institution's representative

duty, we feel certain they will
receive the cooperation of the gen-
eral Jewish community.
The Jewish Floridian pledges

in Israel they have a duty to per-

Among Jews
It is true that witchcraft be-
longs to the dark ages of the
past Magical rites and practices
for the purpose of warding off evil
are confined solely to savages.
But we still have our lucky coins,
our unluck ehday rand ore e sh

omens and wedding omens.We
still cast a bit of salt over the
shoulder, still pick up a horseshoe
(though horses become increasing-
ly- rare), still have our delusions
concerning broken mirrors, black
cats and unlucky thirteens.
Judaism is filled with supersti-
tions lore-most of it harmless
enough. That witchcraft and
sorcery must have existed among
the ancient Hebrews is clearly ap-
parent, for both these practices
are forbidden in the Bible. The
Rabbis naively suggested that "to
throw off the evil eye, spit three
times!" But what is more signi-
ficant to us living today, is the
fact that many of our popular su-
perstitions had their origin far
back in old Hebrew beliefs.
For example, the Hebrews of
olden times believed that to step
ovfer a child was to send an evil
spirit into its body which would
prevent it from growing. Even
today we often hear the remark
that to step over a child is to stop
its growth.
Then there is the popular super-
stition concerning a broken mir-
ror. This superstitution originated
mn the first century. The Romans

The Talmud fairly bristles with
superstitions notions some of
which, perhaps, have the germ of
sound health or sanitary measures
behind them. For example:
"It is dangerous to borrow a
drink of water." Water in those
far-off days was the source of
many devastating plagues.
In the Middle Ages the hold of

became greatly strengthened, ow-

but we must remember that they
afforded the people of those black
times a small measure of comfort,
and so they served their purpose.
One of the superstitions which
stamped itself firmly upon the
popular mind at that time--and
which still exists to some extent
among uneducated people--is the
idea of wearing some object to
waril off evil influences. Even ~s
late as 188'7 during the great
cholera epidemic, the rabbis were
telling children under thirteen to
bind red ribbons around their
necks! Wie all know that ribbons,
charms, herbs and amulets of eve-
ry description' make their appear-
ance whenever there is an epide-
mic. Didn't youngsters wear queer
things dangling around their necks

Among the ancient Romans, for een persons at the Last Supper,
example, wTe find the belief that Judas being usually represented
the sneeze expelled evil spirits.
To sneeze, therefore, was regarded
somewhat in the light of a lucky
effort on the part of the person
to rid his system of, evi-l spirits,
and those present at the time
would say, "Good luck to you."
There is an old legend that be-
fore the time of Jacob men sneer -
ed only once, and expired. But
the patriarch interceded in the
behalf of man and obtained a re- i
laxation of this law on condition
that a prayer or benediction fol-
low every sneeze. Some authori-
ties offer this old legend as an
explanation of the modern, "God
bless you!"
In early life there were so many
omens and superstitions concern-
ing the sneeze that it would be
impossible to consider them. all
here. It has been definitely es-
tablished, however, that the prae-
tice of saying "God bless you!" af-
ter sneezing became general in thle
sixth century during the pontiti-
cate of Gregory the Great. At this
period a virulent pestilence raged
as the thirteenth guest. Not a few
writers offer this as the true ori-
gin of the superstition.
The fear of Friday is quite as
old as the fear of the number
thirteen. An ancient proverb says:
"Friday's noon,
Come when it will, it comes too
The origin of the superstition
concerning Friday is traced by
most authorities to the crucifixion
of Christ on that day. But there
are some writers who advance the
theory that Friday is regarded as
an unlucky day because ~it was on
Friday that Adam and Eve par-
took of the forbidden fruit.
This explains also the inevita-
ble fish on Friday. As a symbol
of the yoni, the fish was conse-
crated to the pagan goddess of
love. The early Christians, de-
spising this goddess and the lewd
sexual rites in her honor, ate fish
at their feast on Virgin's D y
(Freya Day, or Friday). Fish ay
still eaten on Friday by million
of Christians.

what next?
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this forum, and I started windsurfing this summer. I'm thinking about getting some new gear for next season, and I would appreciate some advice. I'm currently sailing on an old Bic Rumba (150L long slalom board – I think). The sail I use most often is a 6.4, but I picked up an 8.5 Retro recently and absolutely love it. I'm 140 lbs. and sail on an inland lake; most often in 15-20 knot winds with some outings in 10-15 knots for practice. I can beach start, use the harness and foot straps, and I can plane easily. I'm working on water starts, but I find that my old 6.4 is incredibly heavy, and I have trouble getting it out of the water. My top recorded speed is 39 Km/h. I can tack easily, but I'm having trouble carving through my jibes. I really confused about how to progress, and what gear I should be considering. So, here are my questions.
1. I think about getting a newer short board. I'm assuming that it will help with my jibes. What volume should I be considering? What type of board?
2. I was surprised to discover that I have an easier time jibing with my new to me 8.5. Overall, I find the 8.5 much easier to control and predict than my older 6.4. My new sail came with a carbon mast which is much lighter than my fibre mast. I'm starting to think that modern sails are easier to sail and learn with. Is it the sail, the mast, or a combination of both that makes the difference? Or, is it just my imagination? What sails sizes should I be considering?
3. Any other tips/suggestions for getting to the next stage?
Ok, that's a lot for one post. Thanks for your help.

Hey Mikeleg,
Well you'll need a board that floats and that has a considerable volume to tolerate the 8.5 sail. So i would suggest something in the area between 120 and 135 L because these boards usually tollerate a range between 6.0 and 9.0. Also, you clearly are going fast and want to go faster so taking that in account, the fact that your an intermediate and that you want to carve it sounds like you're a candidate for the SB Furuta, or, if you want the GO. These are freeride/slalom boards which focus mainly on jibing and alround fun with a lot of comfort, easy use and just pure blasting on the water.
For the second question: carbon masts are lighter then non-carbon masts and are much more responsive therefore. Also, it is often true that newer sails are easier to handle because of the new materials that are used. I don't know when your 6.4 was built but it can be a bit of both as you say, that is giving you problems waterstarting. However most sailors will tell you that it is probably the mast you are using that is giving you problems, if you'd rig the 6.4 with a 55% or > carbon mast you'll see that is much faster and much easier to handle.
I'll leave Roger to tell you how to get to the next stage, but what i did, i just rampaged this forum :d

Hi Mike,
Crazychem. has covered your questions pretty well.
I always thought the BIC Rhumba had a centerboard..... does yours?
Next question is do you use the centerboard very much?
Nothing to be afraid of here, but if you use the CB alot, you will have some adjustments in technique to make if you get a smaller short board without a centerboard.
Are you trying to plane through your jibes with the CB down? That basically won't work, for a number of reasons.
What is your weight? Your weight will have a lot of impact on how small a shortboard is most appropriate for you.
Something in the 110-140 liter range would seem good, but again, if you are heavier, you may want something bigger and wider to take advantage of the early planing characteristics.
As far as your rigs go, if the 6.4 m2 rig is the one with the green/aqua or reddish pinkish colored mast, then it's the original rig that came as the package with the BIC Rumba.
Yes, it's very heavy, due to the very heavy mast. The sail is not too bad, and if you put it on a high carbon 460 cm IMCS 24-26 mast it makes a pretty good rig.
You will also need a new mast base as the BIC setup left alot to be desired.
Whether you decide on a GO, a Carve/Futura, or something else is going to be based on what's available, what you can afford, and your conditions.
Sounds like you have the conditions to make a 6.4/7.5 rig size quiver work pretty well on a 120 liter board.
Hope this helps,

Hey Roger & CrazyChem, thanks for the helpful info.
Roger: I'm 140 pounds and 5'11" tall. I'm fit and strong for my weight. I have been told by a few sailors that given my weight, I could get away with a larger sail than is recommended on the board. I have never tried it, so I'm not sure this is true.
Yup, the Rumba has a centerboard. The only time I have it down is when I'm uphauling. I've tried sailing with it up and down (never down when jibing) but I haven't been able to notice any difference, so I just sail with it up. I'll try a lighter mast with the 6.4 (yes its the original rig). I tried using the 490 carbon mast that came with my 8.5, but it was too stiff.
One of my concerns about going with a 120-130L board is that I'll outgrow it quickly. On the other hand, I'm not sure I'm ready to handle anything less than 120L.

Hi Mike,
At only 140 lbs. you can easi;y go down to something smaller (110 liters) from the standpoint of flotation.
Since most modern 110 liter boards will bealmost as wide as your Rumba, your only "learning curve" is going to be fore and aft stability (where you stand on the board).
That should be pretty easy for you to learn, and then you'll be "on you way".
A Carve or Futura in the 110-125 liter range is what I would suggest.
That will take you quite a ways in furthering your skill level, and may be a board you want to keep for lighter wind days down the road.
Hope this helps,

Thanks Roger it helps a lot. I started reading up on the Futura and it seems like an interesting board. I would love to try one.
BTW best of luck on the recovery. My brother had the same procedure done a few months back. He's already back at work. Your recovery seems to be progressing more quickly than his did. Keep up the walking.

Soybean aphids have hit hard in dry areas of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. Many growers are opting to spray. In the future, aphids may be minor problem if soybean varieties resistant to aphids are available. Researchers at the University of Illinois recently announced that they have identified commercial varieties with effective resistance to soybean aphids.
The researchers identified a single-gene source of aphid resistance that can be easily crossed into elite commercial varieties. Growers may be able to buy varieties with aphid resistance within three to four years, according to Glen Hartman, plant pathologist with USDA's Agricultural Research Service at the university.
The researchers spent three years looking for aphid resistance. They searched through 100 cultivars used to develop virtually all of today's soybean varieties. Among these cultivars, two were resistant to aphids. The cultivars are old varieties called Jackson and Dowling and are grown in the South. The researchers also developed methods for identifying and breeding resistant plants using marker-assisted selection.
The university's Office of Technology Management has applied for a patent and plans to license the technology to university and industry breeders soon. For more information, visit www.otm.uiuc.edu/techs/techdetail.asp?id=267.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — You never know what might happen when a lawmaker brings a gun to a knife fight.
But Second Amendment rights advocates are about to find out.
"I suppose, in part," said state Rep. Harold Dutton, describing his plan to legalize carrying switchblades, "it's political."
Across the country, this has become the year of the knife. New federal rules will allow pocketknives on airplanes. And state legislatures from Tennessee to Kansas to Indiana to Alaska are considering measures to legalize the switchblade, the favored weapon of fictional midcentury street gangs.
Here in Texas, where weapons laws tend toward the permissive, switchblade legislation has advanced to the House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence.
All of which might seem fairly unremarkable, except that the bill's author, a Democrat from Houston, has a National Rifle Association rating of F, a personal firearms history that qualifies as colorful even by local standards and something downright subversive in mind.
To make sense of it all, you have to know about Dutton. But first you have to know about Knife Rights Inc.
For the last seven years, a wilderness survival expert by the name of Doug Ritter has been building national support for laws allowing more knives in more places.
Starting in his home state, Arizona, Ritter set out to turn varying local ordinances into statewide policy. Gun rights advocates embraced his cause. Ted Nugent's endorsement decorated his Web site.
Before long, Ritter turned his attention to legalizing instruments with such comically antiquated names as the dirk, the stiletto and the dagger. To paraphrase his line of argument, those weapons usually pose a mortal hazard only if you are a character in a game of Clue.
When he started campaigning to legalize the switchblade, though, Ritter touched a nerve. Laws against the distinctive push-button mechanism date to the violent gang wars between the Sharks and the Jets (on Broadway in "West Side Story"). By the time James Dean's character rumbled in "Rebel Without a Cause," the knives had become a potent symbol, as one movie poster put it, of "Today's Juvenile Violence!"
Still, his message found a receptive audience. Counting victories in New Hampshire in Missouri, he said, switchblades are now legal in 30 states, including 24 with no limitations on length.
Knife rights advocates are optimistic about the Texas bill.
"It's always been extremely odd to me that I can walk around in public, I can even go into the Capitol with a loaded firearm, yet I can't carry certain described kinds of knives," said Peter Wang, 51, an oilfield services company employee in Houston who owns both guns and knives.
From his national vantage, Ritter interpreted Dutton's sponsorship as a sign of bipartisan support.
Dutton, a Democrat from Houston, serves as chairman of the Committee on Urban Affairs.
In 1989, he reported receiving death threats as the author of a proposal to ban assault rifles. A crowd estimated at nearly 1,000 marched on the Capitol. The measure failed.
Four years later, he was convicted of reckless conduct after his estranged wife claimed he had pointed a pistol at her.
Over the years, Dutton has displayed a creative streak in his approach to gun control. In 1995, for example, he introduced a bill that would have made voter registration cards double as gun permits. Under that proposal, failing to cast a ballot would cost people the right to carry a weapon.
Contacted to discuss his new proposal, Dutton opened the interview with an account of his long-ago effort to ban assault rifles.
"Now that the assault rifle controversy has re-energized," he said, "we looked at the prohibited weapons list."
"What should be on that list is things that are causing damage today," he went on. "That weapon is not switchblade knives."
His staff prepared an analysis of the proposal, subtly noting that "while the switchblade knife is listed on Texas' prohibited weapons list, assault rifles are not on the list."
In the interview, though, Dutton left little doubt about his intentions.
"Hopefully we'll get to have a lively discussion on the House floor, and we'll see who's for it and who's against it," he said. "I can't see why anyone would be against it."

Senate Passes Gay Marriage Bill, Awaits Governor's Signature
ST. PAUL (AP) - The Minnesota Senate has voted to legalize gay marriage, putting the state on the brink of becoming the 12th to allow same-sex couples to marry.
Monday's vote sends the bill to Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton, who has promised to sign and could do so Tuesday.
The state Senate voted 37-30 to pass the bill. The bill passed the House last week. It allows same-sex weddings beginning Aug. 1.
With Dayton's signature, Minnesota would be the first Midwestern state where elected representatives voted directly to allow gay marriage. Iowa has had gay marriage since 2009, but that was due to a court ruling.
Just six months ago, Minnesota voters rejected an effort to ban gay marriage in the state constitution.

"Hello! Hello!"
I think I've been hiding in the MasterChef 'closet' far too long, but I AM BACK!!!! How I've missed you all! But first of all, I would like to apologise to all my friends and family for turning into a big fat liar for the last six months. I'm sorry! I tried to cover up my involvement in MasterChef with all sorts of excuses and lies, for the sake of trying not to ruin the surprises. I think it was worth the effort of biting my lip and not spilling the beans, so that you all can watch it first hand on TV. And then a silly mis-scheduled tweet had me grounded and the delay of this post (trust me, my wrist definitely got slapped hard by many). But please accept my sincere apologies for being a silly Billy. But anyhow I am back and despite my MasterChef 'journey' is officially over, it's actually just the beginning of a whole new chapter of my culinary life and I can't wait to get back into the real world to share my experience with you all!
One of the most common questions I get asked is "What was it like being on MasterChef?" With no hesitation, I would answer wholeheartedly that I absolutely loved it and enjoyed every single moment of the experience but at the same time, I always leave my answer with a warning, "It is bloody hardwork!"
You can read an article by Stephanie Wood on SMH who spent a day documenting what goes on behind-the-scenes in MasterChef house and kitchen and revealed the $500/week wage back in May, not by me.
Are you still feeling the love after reading Stephanie's article? But don't get me wrong, if they asked me to come back again, without a doubt I will go back and do it all over again in a heartbeat! Hang on…… I already did! Silly me! 😀
Seriously, and this may sound cliché, but it was definitely one of the most rewarding, money can't buy experiences that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Yes, we were there to make a TV show and yes, we were there to learn about cooking, but you'll be amazed by how much I've learned about myself just to be part of it.
Never underestimate the power of strong bonding with 23 strangers living under one roof, soon they became my surrogate family and we all helped and supported each other throughout the whole experience. When there's no one else to talk to except the other 23 contestants that I lived with, I eventually found myself a lot more comfortable to open up and share my personal stories with others. I actually hadn't noticed any changes in myself until the others including the judges told me so. Then, I saw myself on TV, a man of few words with the most awkward Asian accent and bad Engrish had gradually became more relax, lot more talkative, and even quoted Cher with a straight face, go figure! Yep, that's me, I think I have changed… for the better.
Let's fast forward six months later, I've been eliminated (twice!) from the competition and made it to the Top 7. Disappointed? A little. Any regrets? None what so ever. When I found out I got accepted into Top 50 last year, before packing my bags ready to pursue this MasterChef experience and leaving my partner (The Pom), the dog and the cat behind, the last thing he wanted me to promise him is to do the best I can and cook with integrity, stay true to myself and do not change who I am. This may sound cheesy but that's exactly what I've done in the competition, cooked with confidence, honesty and self respect. The judges always tried to fire me up, wanting me to be competitive, but sorry, that's simply not me. Self confident and being competitive are absolutely two different things, I do not have to fist-punch the air and yell my lungs out "I AM THE NEXT MASTERCHEF!" every single time I stepped into the kitchen. I am not all sad that I didn't win MasterChef title. Well, let's look at the bright side, if I have more recipes published on the Masterchef's website than the other contestants, it tells me that I must be doing something right, right? 😉 The future is up to me now.
I'm proud of all the dishes I've put up on MasterChef, even the bad dishes that landed me in Pressure Tests. Everyone has his good and bad days in the kitchen and so did I; plus I also know that I have my own strong points and weaknesses in cooking and these are the learning curves that made my MasterChef experience a hell lot more exciting! I've cut the judges with my flavours and received some of the best comments from them more than I could have ever asked for, other times I have stumbled, crashed and burned and then had to crawl my way back to the top again. Imagine if I just stayed in the middle of the pack serving up food that is mediocre and flew under the radar just to make it the Top 10, it would be so boring and an opportunity wasted. Wouldn't you think so?
So, what's next? I hear you ask. Things are a little hectic at the moment with a bunch of media interviews, but I can guarantee you that this blog A Table For Two is here to stay! There's no turning back, I am leaving my old web design career behind and moving forward focusing on this food blog. I will gradually post up recipes of dishes that I cooked on MasterChef plus those that never made it on the TV screen. Stay tuned! In the mean time, I have other exciting plans in the pipeline including cookbook, cooking classes and "Just Desserts" degustation private dinner events! I hope you are as excited as I am! So if you do want to stay in touch with me and what I'm doing, the easiest way is probably to follow my blog, atablefortwo, subscribe to ATFT's Titbits for latest updates. Alternatively you can follow me on twitter (@atablefortwo) and more than welcome to send me some love at the ATFT facebook page.
Last but not least, I would like to say a genuine and heartfelt thank you to all of the people who have supported me and cheering me on (#TeamBilly yay! LOL!) for the last few months, all your kind words and wishes, they mean a lot to me, and I can't wait to meet you all in the real world!
Also, thank you so much for supporting #TeamBilly and bought the tshirt, we have donated USD$331.18 to the KILT – Khmer Independent Life Team in Cambodia! Well done guys!
Keep cooking and keep cutting with your flavour!
Truly Yours,

96 "Winter Limited Edition" which I think just means it's a light blue GXL with alloys and stickers. Dual fuel. Cold ac, fast glass, steer, auto.
Was used for towing a horse float around the country so has a heap of kms but an excellent service record. Requires a couple of things to be tidied up but nothing that bothered the rwc guy. Couple of external blemishes but nothing that bothers me, otherwise presents well inside and out. Drives well, no steering play squeaks rattles or clunks. New tyres, upgraded suspension.
Planning to do some beach work and basic off-road stuff. This week it's getting a double din Alpine, keyless entry/immobilizer, cruise control and a uhf. After that I'll get the tint re-done.
More pictures later.

Schlossman's Blog: DU vs. UND Drew Strong Ratings
by Brad Elliott Schlossman
9 comments:
86,000 viewers on a national broadcast is still a tiny, tiny number.
It costs at least $25,000 to produce a game for national consumption. That works out to about 35 cents per viewer. Don't know what the ad sales are, but long term, college hockey will likely not be a sustainable prime time option if NBC sports network is expecting to turn a profit in prime time.
For comparison, the NCAA final usually draws about 1-2 million viewers.

NBC Sports Network uses double the number of cameras than a typical Root Sports broadcast at Magness.
Supposedly, DU is not happy with Root Sports-Rocky Mountain. They have been charging DU for Hoops and Hockey coverage in recent seasons.
For years, FCS-Rocky Mountain broadcast the games for free and made money off of subscribers and advertising. So this situation may come to a head this offseason.

In addition to the first comment, the NCHC has to pay the production costs when they are on CBS in a few years. I guess we can see why.

I'm not exactly sure what "production costs" entail, but isn't almost every game televised online already?
- Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 9:32:00 AM MST
DU does not have any existing regional TV network options beyond Root Sports, unless they were to buy or build their own network, like BYU did. Given all the serious cable money that's been poured into DU over the years by broadcast media people like Ritchie, Daniels, Magness and Myhren, I am suprised they didn't set up their own TV channel. They could do sports and fine arts at night, and academic stuff by day
DU hockey has a TV fan base of perhaps 10,000-15,000 people. They can't generate enough ratings to offset the costs, so they have to charge DU for air time, and DU wants the exposure so it must cough up the money.

What about Altitude?
FCS-Atlantic, Pacific & Central as North Dakota has done?
Perhaps DU would be content next season with just the occasional CBS or NBC games?
I guess the point is, DU feels like they are being bled dry by Root Sports. Root Sports is owned by DirecTV and they make their money off of subscriptions and a little advertising. Ratings aren't a huge component of the formula. I shudder every time I think about what I spend on DirecTV on an annual basis and its all to get DU hockey.
- Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 10:13:00 AM MST
Altitude is owned by Kroenke Sports and their priority are Avalanche and Nuggets games, teams that they own. 90% of DU weekend games would not be able to be shown live due to Avs/Nugs time conflicts. They do have an auxillary channel called altitude2, but its not a full time channel on most carriers, and some networks don't carry it at all.
I don't think Altitude cares much for college sports.

tangentially, the 'growing pains' of NBC, specifically in the booth, are painful, indeed. Trying (a) find their 'voice' and (b) analysts with the know and pizazz... As for the NHL Ref retread/retiree, all one need know is he voted for Obama, if that explains his points of view...
- Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 12:09:00 PM MST
The ratings were high because it was UND. I am not trying to stir the pot, but their fans around the country tend to follow UND religiously. All of their home games are on FCS and there is a reason for that. Too bad NBC Sports will be the Notre Dame Network....would love to see more WCHA/NCHC in HD!!!

"X-Men: First Class" star James McAvoy was back at his home in London on Wednesday and waiting for the film's opening weekend with the mix of anxiety and excitement you might expect. The film, directed by Matthew Vaughn, has been enjoying some stellar early reviews, and the actor who now plays Charles Xavier can't help wondering if that means he will be losing his hair and his on-screen sense of humor in the months and years to come.
The Fox film that opens Friday is a prequel to previous "X-Men" films — this one is set in the 1940s and 1960s — and Vaughn and producer Bryan Singer have talked about two more films that would follow this new story and add chapters that would fall, chronologically, in the decades leading up to the earlier movies. In those, Patrick Stewart portrayed Xavier as a serious man with big thoughts and a bald pate (a "sexless monk," as McAvoy has called him), and that has McAvoy thinking about the grim future and the razor's edge.
"Ideally you have a story arc that lasts three movies and at the end of the third it leaves you ready for the story in "X-Men 1,' " McAvoy said by phone. "It would be nice to explore things in two more films. In this one, Magneto has gone through his major metamorphosis; he kind of found himself. Charles is dealing with his new life and [issues that present themselves] in this movie. And we still are left with the big question: How does he lose his hair? In the comic books there's a very clear and easy answer, but we didn't go with that. In the comics it happened when he was very young and when his powers activated. We've obviously gone away from that. Now, obviously, we can't start the next movie with him bald. Not only is that easy and cheap, we'd be passing up an opportunity for a cool story point. I don't know what it is — we need to come up with something that justifies doing it. Maybe he got some dodgy Australian shampoo…."
What has McAvoy heard regarding a sequel?
"I keep hearing bits and bobs from the different founts that there are or the different mouths that there are on this job," said the 32-year-old actor, best known for "The Last King of Scotland" and "Atonement." "All I know is that if this one makes some money, they will definitely want to make another one. We've had pretty strong critical reaction thus far. I don't know if they'd make it just on the back of that, if they didn't make the kind of money they hope for. I don't know, but I can't see them making it just on that. I just hope that, if it happens, they make it because they found a story they like rather than making it just because there's more money to be made. I've been lucky that, even though I've done a couple of bad or silly movies in the past, that's the way they ended up; the studios made them because they were passionate about them. I'd hate to be in something that started right off as something cynical."
He added: "We all want to make money, but there was also a cool idea and a cool story. Everybody thought, 'Oh great, there's a prequel/reboot, just what we don't need,' but the idea was to explore that thing that fans were crying out for, those tiny moments in the other movies were you see Sir Patrick and Sir Ian [McKellen, who played Magneto] come together. Those moments were few and far between, but they were some of the most intriguing parts of those films. I think the idea of building a movie around that is what inspired this and, for me, validated doing this."
Vaughn is not a tight-lipped guy, to say the least, and McAvoy has read or seen the reports of the director spitballing ideas (among them the delicious idea of Magneto playing a part in the JFK assassination, a nugget reported by Drew McWeeny of HitFix), and they have a mixed effect on the actor. He likes the energy and ideas but thinks some secrets should be saved until "at least this movie has come out." If this new retro-minded mutant franchise does get to visit the Summer of Love or Studio 54, McAvoy said, he will be protecting his character from stories that go sideways.
"I've lots of ideas. I know Michael and I are very much on the same page all the time and we'll be weighing in to protect that relationship between the two characters. One of the things about this movie is: In all the others Magneto is your bad guy and Professor X and the X-Men are the good guys; in this one, it's not like that. It's much more sophisticated or complex, at least, and we need to come up with a way to do that moving forward. The next movie, if there is one, shouldn't just start off with them being pals again, but I think it also shouldn't be like the first movies only set in the 1960s. If we get another, let's not just make Magneto the bad guy; of course he's a bad-ass and of course he has a whole different ethos, but making a movie that is black-and-white is going to lose the thing that we have in this one…. In the comics, Magneto goes back and forth, there are times when they are friends, there are times when he's running the school. In the first Fox movie, if you want to be a fanboy about it, Patrick Stewart says … that 'Erik Lehnsherr helped me build Cerebro,' which is like Professor X's Death Star. And it is like the Death Star in the other movies, it's forever being built or being destroyed."
Well, maybe we'll all find out that Xavier pulled his hair out in May 1977 while attending the "Star Wars" premiere….

Through those questions and answers, you can discover the compelling reason, the decision process, and the budget, pieces of information critical to closing the deal. However, the success of the entire meeting and your increasing business depends upon your ability to give confidence to the prospect that your solution will solve their pain. With 93% of communication being body language and tone of voice, you simply cannot hide any lack of confidence you may have. The prospect will see your lack of confidence and then have all the reason in the world to doubt your solution. If you don't believe it, why should she? The optimal salesperson is confident in the solutions they offer.

Aware of the prestigious nature of the award and the global recognition it brought to the nonviolent struggle for racial justice in the US, King worked nearly a month on his address. He goes beyond his dream for America and articulates a vision of a World House in which a family of different races, religions, ideas, cultures and interests must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. This speech became the basis for the last chapter of Dr. King's book Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?
