Queens, NY - For the second year in a row, St. John's University has ranked in the Top 10 among "Most Unwired College Campuses" in a survey conducted by the Intel Corporation.
The survey's findings are based on the percentage of each college campus that is covered by wireless technology, the number of undergraduate students and the computer to student ratio for each school. St. John's moved up three places from a year ago currently ranked seventh among schools with an enrollment of more than 1,000 students.
Last year many campuses reported limited wireless network capabilities. The survey reveals 74% of this year's Top 50 schools have 100% wireless network coverage on campus, up from 14% of the Top 50 schools in 2004. On the average, 98% of the Top 50 campuses are covered by a wireless network up from 64% from one year ago.
Data for the survey was gathered from university interviews, public documents and additional industry sources; the "America's Most Connected Campuses" ranking conducted by Princeton Review and published in Forbes; and an outline survey that schools completed between May 1 and September 1, 2005 which was executed by the Center for Digital Education and Intel Corporation.

Michelle Chance and the great crew at the Jacksonville SEO Meetup were kind enough to film a video of my blog site homepage that features the Microsoft Tag (http://www.gettag.mobi/). The purpose of a Microsoft Tag is to allow a user that has the Microsoft Tag application installed to simply hover their camera over the multi-colored tag which automatically loads all of my contact information into their smart phone.
In this case it automatically loads the information for the FUZION Agency (my consulting firm) at http://www.fuzion.org/.
Here is the Meetup.com article about it:

There is always a conflict between how accessible your website data is to Humans and to Robots. The ability to "convert" a human to finalize a purchase is paramount so keyword spammy webpages that reduce conversions are simply not worth it. However you also can't convert humans unless the #1 lead source to your website is being catered to as well, whether overtly or behind the scenes.
This method of targing both the human conversion and the robotic discovery is accomplished by implementing proper SEO techniques. Many people ask me what the "trick" to Google is. I can summarize it very succinctly.
Google can spot a fake and if you are going to rely on black hat tricks and schemes, you're simply going to see a short-term boost in ranking which will wither on the vine.
The example on the right demonstrates a clone avoidance technique using the NOFOLLOW rel parameter on anchor text (<a href> hyperlinks). In a traditional website we tend to let Google see EVERYTHING which is not effective. Think of a typical brick and mortar store. We have a nice front entrance with customer-oriented displays that are less organized but are beautiful and pleasing. We also have a back door that opens to highly organized inventory warehouse with bare cement floors and barcoded shelving units.
Humans should enter our website through the front door and see things like the customer service counter and the privacy policy and featured items… and the checkout aisle.
Robots don't need to see any of this. They aren't going to buy anything, they don't need to see our investor information, and they don't need unorganized but pretty FLASH movies or glamorous pictures. Not only can they not see them… they simply don't care. The diagram above illustrates how we set NOFOLLOW on portions of our website that may be visible to humans but we want the search engines to ignore them.
We also want to ensure that Google indexes our website in the proper order and we channel the "juice" as concentrated as possible to our "money pages" and the hierarchies that go with that. Take a product where the customer can navigate there in two separate paths. They may come to my Nike yellow tank top through /Nike/Tank-Top/Yellow or through /Tank-Top/Yellow/Nike. This creates two separate URL signatures that land on the same, exact product… effectively a clone.
To avoid this, we set a "weight" on each parameter as to its importance. In this case we believe that more conversions will be determined by Brand and then Type and then Color. Any other "path" to this item is "NOFOLLOW" enabled so Google will only see the one path… however the humans will see both.
Protecting your paths will ensure SEO dominance and conversions.

Ranking #1 on Google is a great objective, but dominating the web so exclusively that your competitors get starved out is even better. This method of Exclusionary Dominance™ is the secret to many online success including our case study today of Football Fanatics that has managed to dominate the JU Dolphins T-Shirts search result. We will delve into how they managed to accomplish this and see if we can learn from their success for our own website projects.
First we need to Google for "JU Dolphins T-Shirts". We have chosen a very niche product name so we can see this exclusionary effect on the competiton. This is a keyword phrase that is broad enough to have competition but specific enough to predict that a buyer typed it in and he's looking to purchase a JU Dolphins T-Shirt.
See how they dominate search results #1-#10
13 out of 16 listings exclude competitors
All channels are being targeted including:
Other techniques ensure dominance:
Traditional advertisers are spending in the millions to target these products and consumers. The natural consequence of a television ad 10 years ago was to "remember" the brand or to write down a response PO box and send a letter. Now the customer simply remembers the brand and product (not the domain name necessarily) and "googles" for it.
This causes search engine "piracy" where the traditional advertiser motivates the customer to purchase, but when they go to purchase, the top ranked websites covet the "conversion." This means that whomever ranks substantially #1-#10 have the highest chance of converting the sales that were funded by the other advertisers… Effectively the top ranked sites get the majority of the benefit of the entire industry's advertising in that topic.
In physical commercial real estate there are thousands of good "street intersections" to sell JU Dolphins T-Shirts. On the internet, this single search result page is the ONLY PAGE ON PLANET EARTH (statistically speaking) where the competition can compete for online conversions. This makes the value of being listed on this page high and #1-#10 dominance very exclusionary.

When you move your business, you make sure that you shut down your utilities, forward your mail, change your billing address, and above all, you make sure that you put up that nice sign in the door that says to any loyal customers that may be returning that you have permanently moved to a new location.
This "permanent redirect" is a very special instruction that is also used by Google to identify pages that have moved their location as well. Online a "street address" is a website "uniform resource locator" or URL. You type in URLs all day when you enter in addresses like http://www.google.com/ or http://www.fuzion.org/. What most people don't understand is that every single "landing page" on your website has a similar address that is a bit more complicated such as www.FUZION.org/Web_Marketing for example or even more complex: www.Tire.biz/page/Tires.aspx. Many people will "bookmark" a home website address, but often enough they bookmark pages deep in your site with these complex URLs. We call this "deep linking".
These deep links are very valuable because, compared to your homepage there are hundreds of times more of them, and they tend to be links that reside on message forums ("Hey, check out this item") or are linked in web email client systems (links in Gmail, Ymail, or Hotmail). Because these links come from very high page rank value (PR value) websites, they are extremely powerful and should not be abandoned lightly.
Normally when you update your website with a new look, or a new content management database, the "home" address or "root" address (http://www.yourwebsite.com/) rarely changes… and when you move to the new site you think your work is done. However, what actually has happened is you've lifted up that business building, severing all of the existing customer relationships, bookmarks, and back links to your business (or website) to deep linked pages (www.YourWebsite.com/page/specificpage.aspx) like wires and pipes dangling beneath it and you've dropped in a brand new building at the same address. What's actually happened is that all of those severed wires are still there… only now they go to web "dead ends". If you compare the diagram to the right.
Customers that liked your website enough to bookmark a very specific page are now finding dead links and frustrating error messages which makes them sever the link completely.
It makes sense then to use a tool built into web servers called the 301 Permanent redirect or the 302 Temporary redirect. These two tools allow you to permanently move or temporarily switch pages and notify the search engines that you want them to "forward" the customers while preserving the history and value that has built up over time in the search engines for that page's value.
Forwarding makes a lot of sense because now, a customer that had a URL "bookmarked" will be redirected to the new, replacement page. Search engines will also start the slow process of transferring the original pages PR value to the replacement page, giving you a nice boost in your search engine rankings for your new pages that would have taken a long time to earn a new ranking.
Already done a remake (or two) on your website without doing the proper redirects? It's not too late to fix it. Just install Google Webmaster Tools - www.google.com/webmasters/tools and verify your site. This tool is provided by Google which will give you a listing of all of the "404 not found" errors found on your website. They will also let you know which websites are linking to each page and will help you find ones that you may have forgotten.
You can load 301 Redirects into your htaccess file if you are using Apache webservers or you can install the IIS 7.0 URL Redirect plugin and modify your URL mappings in the IIS editor or directly in your Web.config file. If you are using IIS 6.0 you can install an ISAPI URL Rewrite handler and edit the .ini file for those as well. You have invested in your website over time... don't throw it all away by not forwarding the traffic to your new pages!

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif.- Almost a quarter of a million dollars worth of marijuana have been seized by multiple law enforcement agencies in San Luis Obispo.
500 marijuana plants were confiscated Thursday morning after Los Angeles Police Department along with San Luis Obispo Sheriff's Deputies found a growing operation inside a warehouse on the 700 block of Fiero Lane in San Luis Obispo.
"There's a sampling of the marijuana from each one of the rooms that was at the location, it is taken and put in a box about 20 pounds worth and that will be booked as evidence to be analyzed and the rest is destroyed," says Detective A. Williams, Los Angeles Police Department.
The drug bust comes after LAPD says two San Luis Obispo men were arrested back in August for distributing marijuana throughout the Los Angeles area.
"They had all kinds of crazy locks installed and some type of security system and the locksmith was trying to open the door for a half hour I guess without any success, then he finally was able to get it open," says Daniel Green, a nearby employee.
Employees who work close by say they had a feeling something suspicious was going on.
"It became apparent after a little bit, they were very suspicious, they would kind of open the door slightly and then nobody would look inside," says Janice Go, a nearby employee.
No arrests were made at the location and Los Angeles Police say the two men who were arrested back in August have posted bail and are expected to face charges.

Grow Up Already Ladies
I'm constantly amazed by people. So often I find myself shaking my head and just laughing. At what point in life do people mature? I ask this because while teaching dance I'm not at all surprised when I hear one of the kids say 'Oh, I don't like her'. They are kids and I can understand that coming from them. As for my friends, some of them are quite a bit younger then me and I still see that behaviour from them and I'm ok with it. I guess I figure they'll get over it as they get older. But yesterday I realized some people I associate with who are quite a bit older then me are truly still doing the 'Well, I just don't like her'. Sure there are people I feel that way about but in adult professional situations you have to act above that. You can't call a meeting and not invite someone just because you don't like them. Socially, it is different. If you don't enjoy someone, don't spend time with them. But professionally, its unacceptable and completely immature. This isn't exactly high school or is it?

June 2012 EU Summit Verdict: A good decision that will, probably, go to waste
Posted: July 11, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »Reblogged from Yanis Varoufakis:
Mrs Merkel went to Brussels intent on striking two birds with one stone, pick up her bag immediately and return to Berlin with no further ado. The stone was the fraudulent re-packaging of existing structural and EIB funds (with the addition of a paltry 10 billion euros) into a grandiose-sounding 'Growth Pact'. The two birds were, respectively, the SPD opposition back home (which had set as its condition for supporting the ratification of the ESM some 'movement' on growth) and Mr Hollande (who also needed some semblance of a Growth Pact to sell it to his voters as sugar coat with which to swallow the bitter pill of the Fiscal Pact).

Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord.
Courageous patience
7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord. Consider the farmer who waits patiently for the coming of rain in the fall and spring, looking forward to the precious fruit of the earth. 8 You also must wait patiently, strengthening your resolve, because the coming of the Lord is near. 9 Don't complain about each other, brothers and sisters, so that you won't be judged. Look! The judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as an example of patient resolve and steadfastness.
You gave it your best shot. You made the best case you could and your friend still wasn't persuaded to follow Christ. Why is it that solid, rational arguments for the Christian faith often fail?
For more than fifty years James W. Sire, noted author and public defender of the Christian faith, has asked himself that question. Sometimes, of course, the arguments themselves just aren't that good. How can you make them better? Sometimes the problem has to do with you and not the arguments. Your arrogance, aggressiveness or cleverness gets in the way or you misread our audience. And sometimes the problem lies with your hearers. Their worldview or moral blindness keeps them from hearing and understanding the truth.
With wisdom borne of both formal and informal experience, Sire grapples with these issues and offers practical insight to help you make a more persuasive case for Christ.

The Encyclopaedia of Plymouth History |
Although it is more usually known as simply "Keyham", the district of the ancient parish of Stoke Damerel to the south of what is now Alexandra Park and the north of Saint Levan Road used to be referred to as "Keyham Barton" because it was built on the land that belonged to the Keyham Barton farmhouse. If you stand on the Blockhouse at Stoke and look towards Keyham it is impossible to believe that the area was once just fields. But this is what it looked like circa 1860: At the bottom is Keyham Lake, now Saint Levan Road, and at the top, Weston Mill Lake. Keyham Farm, the original Barton, is shown along with Keyham Quarry and, somewhat surprisingly, the Sportsman's Arms Public House in the middle of nowhere. At the top, on the shore of Weston Mill Lake, is the Keyham Chemical Works. It will be noted that a track leads up from Keyham Bridge, by the "O" in Stoke, to the railway bridge at what is now Station Road. The main access to Keyham Barton was from the Saltash Road. The Ford area was already laid out at this time. Keyham Barton, i.e. the farm, was the original manor house of the parish and manor of Stoke Damerel. It was downgraded only when the Wise family built their new dwelling overlooking the entrance to the Hamoaze and named it Mount Wise in order to stick a thumb up at the Mount Edgcumbe's on the other side of the river. The immediate area of the farmhouse looked like this: This illustration has been taken from two separate plans and joined together, which has resulted in the top being lighter than the bottom part. It will be seen that the house had access to two wells for fresh water, one to the north, accessible by steps from the rear courtyard; and the other to the south, well away from the house. It will also be noticed that the house faced east, which is unusual, and possibly this indicates that the main access before Saltash Road was built was from the Keyham Bridge. It would appear that the area shown at bottom left might have been a reservoir, lake or fishpond. Although no water is shown flowing in to it, the line below it is a stream flowing down to Keyham Lake, which might have been an overflow. So, what of the inhabitants. At the time of the 1851 census there were no fewer than fifteen people in the farmhouse. At the head was Mr Wiliam Bradford, aged 53, farming 100 acres. He came from Saint Budeaux originally and three out of his four daughters and his 15-year-old son, William junior, were born in that parish. Living with them was his 89-year-old widowed mother, Mrs Rebecca Bradford, also from Saint Budeaux. William's wife was Margaret, also 53, from Bickleigh parish. Their 4-years-old grandson, Edmond Parnell from Newton Ferrers was also with them that night. There were five farm servants: Mr Nicholas Hallett, aged 41; Mr William B Hall, 22; Mr James Steer, 18; Mr John Gay, 17; Miss Jane Steer, 15; and one general or domestic servant, Miss Jane Bartlett, aged 14 years, from Eggbuckland. The 1891 census shows Keyham Barton occupied by Mr John G Bowden, his wife, Hannah, both originally from Meavy Parish, and the youngest six of their eleven children. Five had already left home but of those left the two oldest boys, Ernest Bowden and Frank Bowden, were both farm labourers while the oldest daughter, 16-years-old Miss Lillia Bowden, was a shop assistant. |

Flames Invitational Day 1 Coverage
Photos by Andrew Kicinski
Top performance from the first of two long days of high school track & field action at the Liberty Flames High School Invitational belonged to Rashaan Jones of South Lakes clearing a US #1 height of 7 feet in the high jump. Jones, only a junior, has developed greatly from his sophomore year which he finished with a 6'6" clearance at the VHSL Group AAA State Outdoor Championships. Jones joins only seven others in Virginia high school indoor track history to have ever successfully cleared 7 feet.
Both seeded sections of the 1600 meter run produced swift times as Cave Spring sophomore Katie Fortner broke 5 minutes virtually leading wire to wire in a US #11 4:58.79 performance, while the Foot Locker All-American in Sean McGorty of Chantilly took charge similarly en route to his VA #2 victory at 4:19.31 in the boys' race. A deep race for both with 9 boys running 4:26 or faster and 11 girls breaking 5:20.
Not many athletes in Virginia's history have been as great as Felecia Majors is in the pole vault and excelled so well in other disciplines of track & field. The South County senior Majors cleared 11 feet to win the pole vault easily, but even more impressively won the 300 meter dash against previous state leader and regional rival Genamarie McCant with a state leading and US #9 clocking of 40.24. The title of Miss Versatility in Virginia might not necessarily go to Shakeela Saunders in her return back to Virginia with the continued improvements made by Majors, who also will qualified for the finals of the 55 meter dash to be held on Saturday and finished second in the long jump on Friday with a mark of 17'3.25".

Steve Razidlo and Jim Hunt answer some questions about this issue on Koeping with Government May 19, 2010 show.
Power to the People! You Have Been Heard!
"The Brainerd School Board Monday reversed a previous board decision to replace the Christmas Break and Good Friday holidays with "Winter Break" and "No School" on the school calendar next year. The school board finance committee last week recommended the board take back its previous motion and make reference to those religious holidays."
Brainerd Dispatch Reporting
Public Policy is about who Shows up!
Neutralizing Christianity?
Just in case a Christian or two might care how this school district considers you and your belief, I've put together an account of what happened regarding the Brainerd School district 181's decision to neutralize Christianity from the school.
I begins from all accounts as of now from Conrad Craig Evarts aka Craig Conrad Evarts aka Commander Evarts' approached to the school board as reported in the Dispatch:
A Forestview parent told Brainerd School Board members Monday that he was upset that the district calendar calls for a day off on Good Friday, a Christian holiday. Conrad Evarts said he and his family moved here a few years ago from the West Coast and his daughter attends Forestview Middle School. As a non-Christian, he said the district should not recognize Good Friday as a school holiday. He said he would like to see Good Friday, which is April 2, removed from the school vacation calendar. "I was shocked to see the school calendar from circa 1945," Conrad Evarts told board members. "Imagine what it would be like if you were a Christian family and there was no lunch available at Forestview Middle School because the cafeteria was closed for a month because of Ramadan." Evarts said he also was shocked that the school district does not give students and staff Martin Luther King Jr. Day off as a recognized school holiday. "It's just pretty weird, coming from the West coast, to see that," said Evarts. The board did not take any action on Evarts' request during the open forum section of the board meeting.
After this incident the school advisory committee, which is made up of mothers of students, by all but one member advised Mr. Razidlo not to make changes to the days in question, and referred to the paper's account of the incident between Conrad Evarts and the school board. Some in attendance to this same meeting with Conrad Evarts reported to us that it was without question a bizarre thing to do. The reaction by them was of one impatience and disgust that a man from the west coast can think to change our culture to fit his own personal liking.
Yet this is not true that the board did not take any action on Evarts' request, in fact apparently the board did take action by making the change requested by Conrad Evarts. Although not one person on the board when asked confirmed this change, Mr. Razidlo in an email to a community member whose emails as well as many others have been floating around, stated "the idea for more neutral language regarding what we have traditionally listed as Christmas and Good Friday was mine." In fact Mr. Razidlo stated that he "proposed the change because of concern expressed by one community member and because the proposed language would more closely mirror other school calendars in our region and our state."
The one community member is again Conrad Evarts, whose history and character is no hidden matter. In fact after a simple search on this name, as well as his middle name, Craig, brought attention to his past, which he has recorded and confirmed in his book Spokane Hates Me: Communiqués from and Exiled Hillyardite, Volume 1. It begins with him being arrested in 1990 for arson because of his views on the environment made him and his brother (who was 15 at the time) eco-terrorists. His involvement with the Earth First organization whose logo mirrors the same logo for communism, adds more fuel to this fire as this organization has been the core for eco-terrorist groups. Also he promotes becoming a nomad living in an RV around the country, with advice of how to defraud insurance companies into getting money to do it with.
"Here's how: Get cash, get a motorhome. Finance nothing. If you need five grand quickly, get renter's insurance; by a DVD player, digital video camera, Bose Wave Radio, etcetera. Videotape it along with some of the junk in your home. Include your yard sale dishes, rusty bicycle and costume jewelry to retain credibility. Return said gear for a refund, then call the cops and report a burglary. If you're not stupid, you'll have a check in a month. Don't sweat the story you're going to tell the S.P.D they're so busy hassling poor Hillyardians and keeping Frankie Doodle's in the black you'll never see 'em. Just ask Robert Lee Yates Jr."
The book continues tales of a nomad's trip, whether drug induced or not, it's still seems like quite a toxic trip. Living life on the road granted him some kind of release from the rules called law such as stealing water, stealing electricity, dumping, parking and many other dishonest activities associated with that lifestyle as he writes. Without a satirist label, I'm forced to take him at his own words.
But this isn't about Commander Evarts, his radio personality name, it's about Brainerd and protecting our way of life, passions, and rule of law from those who detest our way of life, but refuse to leave, or conform (somewhat.) It's about a school board who is more comfortable taking the advice of a stranger then listening even to their own advisory committee, community members, and even members of their own board.
It appears Mr. Razidlo did the change on the calendar on his own, without a motion from the board or a second. He did not return my email, or others concerning this charge, so until further notice he has no comment. Did he feel as a non-elected administrator making over $128,000 a year in a district whose average income is less than half his own, that he can do these things? Apparently. But what cries foul is his call to neutralize Christianity, which should be appalling. Maybe something you'd hear about in Spokane, but in Central Minnesota we actually still love our God, and even though we are more or less wayward we are certainly not ready to neutralize Him, because my waywardness does not constitute proof of neutralizing God, but in fact should be proof of its opposite.
After a careful check around the county's school districts, and those whose districts outside the county that serve our Crow Wing children, only three of the eight districts neutralize Christianity. They are Pequot Lakes, Pine River Backus, and Little Falls. Schools that hold true to our core are Aitkin and Pillager school districts. Those in between to include Nay ah shing school kept reference to Christianity. So to Mr. Razidlo and board member Ruth Nelson's comment in moving the calendar to reflect other districts is not true. So why the lie? Is Christianity that dangerous?
Ruth Nelson's email which we posted on the front page of this website I thought must give one pause as to the mindset of the board. She stated in her response to a concerned school father:
"I wish the many people who wrote about this issue, would also be as concerned about the poverty in our area, the high unemployment, things Jesus is really concerned about, yet I see few people speaking out on these issues."
It seems very clear that she is unaware of the works of Christians in our area, such as Lakes Area Pregnancy Support Center which has been helping women and men experiencing unplanned pregnancies for 14 years. The Sharing Bread Soup Kitchen giving food to any who ask, or the Salvation Army providing care from flesh to soul. B.A.Y. (Brainerd Area Youth) and the many things Pastor Dale Kuglin does for the School district in crisis counseling. Bridges of Hope, which deals with the many problems in families. Crisis Line and Referral Service, they are "'someone' you can turn to when 'nobody' understands or when 'everyone' is too busy to listen."Habitat for Humanity, an organization that needs no introduction. Lakes Area Chaplaincy, providing care from police to criminals. Every Church in the area whose mission is to mentor families, provide spiritual care and be a liaisons to any situation. As for unemployment Jesus never said "Go, find a job." No I believe he said, "Go, sell all you have and follow me." And "seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things [He's talking about food, shelter, job etc] will be added unto you."
In conclusion, it is in the opinion of everyone of those organizations I mentioned that if the school district woke up from their moral slumber and stand up for what is right, honorable, just, and decent, many of those organizations would be out of business, and gladly so. Now it's not the future that will tell us where district 181 will go, it's you and me. Will we wake up to what is right, honorable, just and decent? Our future and existence demands it.
Christianty vs. School District 181
School Calendars in Crow Wing County and additional districts that service Crow Wing citiznes:
Only Pillager and Aitkin continue our American Heritage by not neutralizing Christianity on their calendar, while Pequot Lakes, Little Falls, and Pine River Backus do completely neutralize Christianity from their's. The facts are these:
Crosby Ironton does refer to Good Friday
Pequot Lakes did neutralize Christianity from their calendar.
Pillager School Calendar does not neutralize Christianity from their calendar.
Onamia refers to Christmas, but not Easter or Good Friday
Pine River Backus school does neutralize Christianity form their calendar.
Aitkin (although in Aitkin county does serve some from crow wing county) does Not neutralize Christianity form their calendar http://www.aitkin.k12.mn.us/HSoffice/schoolcalender.htm
Little falls does neutralize Christianity from their calendar

Dana Jacobson Is A Vodka Drinker (And More Highlights From The Mike And Mike Roast)
No I didn't go to the Roast (I kept waiting for my tickets but they never came), but fortunately Small White Ball found this at Press of Atlantic City. The highlights seem to include Jeffery Ross killing it, Trey Wingo bombing, and Dana Jacobson drinking lots and lots of vodka....
It was brutal. It was ridiculous. It was funny - some of the time.Wow that sounds fun. I would have guessed Dana was a whiskey guy.....er, girl. Here are the rest of the highlights and an actually video of the musical entertainment....
It was also too long and uneven. There were too many guests. And, unfortunately, there wasn't a hook to pull some of them off the stage.
It was everything a roast should be: insulting, vulgar and fun. Unfortunately, the fun moments weren't frequent enough as Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg of the popular ESPN morning talk show "Mike & Mike" celebrated their eighth anniversary with a celebrity roast at a sold-out House of Blues........
ESPN anchor Dana Jacobson made an absolute fool of herself, swilling vodka from a Belvedere bottle, mumbling along and cursing like a sailor as Mike & Mike rested their heads in their hands in embarrassment. Griffin came to the podium to defend her after she was booed by the crowd. Ross eventually had to pull her off stage, too.
"They called it Duel' because the only two people who watched it shot each other. Mike Greenberg is to hosting game shows what Michael Vick is to hosting dog shows."- Nick Bakay
"I kind of know my career is over when I'm hired to roast two white guys I never f**king heard of."- Eddie Griffin
"Mike & Mike are so dull they make Mike Tirico's show feel dangerous"- Nick Bakay
"You look great for 89. Tonight's event was on his bucket list."- Jeffery Ross to Mike Ditka
That was really Lifehouse and really from their Roast. You really couldn't have gotten a better band? Really???
Mike and Mike Roast Recap (or why Dana Jacobson slept in until 3 pm on Saturday) (Small White Ball)
Roast of 'Mike & Mike' in Atlantic City runs from brilliant to terrible (Press of Atlantic City)

Key Facts |
Bridge Name |
Type | Road | Location | City | Crossing |
Nicol Road Bridge | Truss | Nicol Road | Sanilac County, MI | Rural | Black River |
This bridge was the last truss bridge on public roads in Sanilac County. Cash Road Bridge is moved onto private property, and Church Road Bridge is destroyed. The remote Nicol Road Bridge, which carried little traffic, and had become a rare piece of Sanilac County's transportation heritage, was torn down in spring of 2005.
This bridge was a warren pony truss, and the connections were riveted. No v-lacing was present on any members. It was built in 1905, according to the Michigan Historic Bridge Inventory. It was most likely built to a plan that was somewhat standard at the time. However, due to the number of bridges like this remaining, this bridge had become rare and unique. Sanilac County Road Commission decided the best way to celebrate this bridge's centennial year was to demolish it.
The Nicol Road Bridge appeared to retain a high degree of historic integrity. The deck was concrete poured on top of corrugated steel, and the guardrails were latticed. This all is in keeping with other warren pony trusses of the time. There appear to be have been no major modifications to this bridge, with the exception of a small repair to the guardrails, which was done by trying to weld and patch the existing lattice railings. It looked a like a car had taken a swipe at the bridge causing some damage to the railings. The bridge had a posted weight limit of 8-14-14 tons. The abutments of the bridge were concrete, and the bridge was set down into those abutments a bit, giving it a low appearance.
The abutments had deteriorated a quite a bit, and the bridge looked like it might eventually fall, because the concrete under the feet of the bridge was falling away. The deck was also bad, and the corrugated steel was falling apart, which would have eventually caused the deck to fall out wherever the corrugated steel failed. Despite these problems, the actual truss structure's excellent condition was unparalleled. I have never seen a standard warren pony truss with such good steel condition. Although the bridge had no paint, except for a hint of paint on the main i-beams, and was rusty, there was no deterioration of the steel. Many standard plan warren pony trusses have holes in their i-beams which is a severe problem for their structural integrity Card Road Bridge is one such example of that. Nicol Road on the other hand was a very solid bridge. If I had any say, I would have taken the deck off this bridge. Then I would have lifted it off the river and constructed new abutments. I would sandblast and paint the truss structure. I would have then set the bridge back on the abutments, and put a new deck on it, and enjoy a historic bridge for another century.
CR Hunt were the contractors who got the job of replacing this bridge. They were gracious enough to let me photograph the demolition of this bridge. I did not see all the events like I did with Church Road, since I was busy with other things at the time, but I have a good compilation of pictures that shows quite a bit of the demolition. Although I did not witness it, my understanding is that after they removed the deck they used a crane to lift the bridge off the river. They then cut the bridge up off shore.
I also worked out a deal with the contractors, who let me have the guardrails off the bridge. Some of them I am going to just use as yard decorations, which will be my little memorial to the bridge. The rest may end up on a private beam bridge over a creek near my friend Luke Gordon's house. Either way, I am happy to have the railings as memories of the bridge to enjoy.
Since this bridge was small, and was the last Sanilac county truss bridge, and had historic and structural integrity, restoring this bridge should have been a no-brainer. Instead, Sanilac County acted with no brains, and went ahead and had the bridge demolished. Now Sanilac County has entered the list of truss-less counties. Another example of a truss-less county in Michigan is Oakland. Nicol Road is not heavily traveled, and there are nearby east-west roads crossing this river that have legal-load carrying capacity. I find it odd how government spends money. Sanilac County had a budget crisis and among other things, had to cut the number of police officers patrolling their county, yet they still spend money on replacing beautiful bridges on trivial roads like this. What a waste.
Perhaps the road commission of Sanilac County is happy about this, but the destruction of this bridge has marked the conclusion of of any major bridge research and photography in this county for me. I used to like the old time country atmosphere of Sanilac County, but the destruction of three truss bridges in two years has left a bitter taste in my mouth. It is sad that it has to be this way with so many counties. I would have rather helped work with the county on a plan to raise awareness and restore these wonderful bridges.

Clearly Ruf, who gets his science from the same source as Mitt, from Rush Limbaugh and the Party, loves fossil fuels because he is a conservative so only counts direct, immediate costs. Anything indirect, or later, is simply not his concern. You say, how stupid is that? The answer is very.
Let's continue to use as much as we want, let's continue to dump the waste in our only environment, let's waste all that we can, because, simply, it's affecting other people, not us. The day the cost hits us, then we'll regret, but maybe dumb luck will save us.
If you think that Mitt's denial of connection to half of us is bad, it's minor compared to Ruf, who is connected only to Ruf. Simply, if it doesn't happen to him, it's inconsequential.
We may have to coexist with people like this, but we don't have to even pay attention to them, much less heed their misanthropy.
They deserve what they give.
So, you abandoned your illogical attempt to make Gov Romney responsible for a climate event. It's good to see some progress on your part. At least you realized that you were making a ridiculous argument.
But I would like to take this opportunity to thank you. "Why"?, you ask. Let me explain. You tried to claim that Gov Romney was responsible for not correcting an avoidable climate event. With the preceding post, you realized your mistake and now you claim that I - ruf462, a mere taxpaying citizen who pays your tax bills - am responsible for not preventing Sandy. Thank you for elevating me to such an important position in the US hierarchy of power brokers, VIPs, and people who can change the course of US history. Thank you.
BTW, although I appreciate your unintended compliment, your reasoning fails again. It's ok. I did not expect anything more from you and so I am not disappointed. Consistency is important. At least we know that your posts continue to correlate perfectly with 70 yrs of underperformance.

I can't think of better way to restart blogging again than to have U.S. foreign policy moment of the year occur last night. Certainly this is a moment of hope in what has been a slow War on Terror. For almost ten years, the country has, and still endures, a painful memory. A sense of common closure comes the 3,000 family members who lost loved ones on the newest day to live in infamy. President George W. Bush proceed with actions that forged a new path in U.S. foreign policy since the Cold War. With the years passing, hundreds of soldiers patriotically dying for their country and two election cycles where the top issue has been Iraq or Afghanistan, a real "Mission Accomplished" banner can now fly high as the world's most wanted terrorist died at the hands of America's bullet.
This historic day rallied a feeling of patriotism in almost everyone I knew. With a spring in our step, the U.S. feels in can accomplish almost anything. In historical memory, this moment will seen as dramatic as fall of the Berlin Wall, Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and the capture of Saddam Hussein. Today and this week, we celebrate with an unprecedented euphoria that was sucked away by the failures of both presidents over the last few years. High unemployment, a staggering deficit, an coming environmental catastrophe, and an ever changing international system still loom, but today all those problems are put aside to enjoy this glorious moment.
Now, to be a bit of buzz kill few a little bit. Yes, the U.S. accomplished a great achievement, probably the greatest achievement of the so called "War on Terror." Both President Bush and Obama should receive credit for this achievement, although partisan rancor will probably start to seep through soon and congress will bicker to score political points for which party gets the credit. All of the partisanship and happiness aside, we must not let our celebration turn to hubris, a common trait in the the history of America's political culture.
Last night, when the news hit the airwaves, I felt sad and patriotic. Even with the best military in the world, new forms of intelligence gathering, two expensive wars, extensive drone attacks alone the Afghan-Pakistan border, and with several alliances struck (some dirtier than others) it still took us ten years to accomplish this feat. In the end, Bin Laden was not killed by a predator drone strike or in Afghanistan. He was killed in Pakistan, the capital no less, by a secret CIA/Military dispatch operation, almost exactly like the one utilized to topple dictators by the U.S. We have come a long way since since the golden age of the CIA in the 1950s, where it was coups galore (Greece and Iran come to mind). One basic question can sum up most fears I have: Is what we are doing worth it if previous Cold War style tactics are what killed Bin Laden and most terrorists?
This should also serve as a warning. Islamic extremism and terrorism will still exist after Bin Laden, no one doubts that premise, the cause of one united Vietnam under communist rule still lived on in North Vietnam even after Uncle Ho (Ho Chi Minh) went to the great beyond in 1969. The rallying cry of terrorists is still out there. Our continued and unquestioned support of Israel, our support of Arab despots, our pact with Satan to get black gold, and the uneven distributions of globalization leaving many in poverty cause terrorism and hatred of the U.S., listen to any Bin Laden tape closely and you will find these themes laced throughout. The spawns of Bin Laden's spirit will continue to fight the U.S. for these same principles. Unless we radically change our ways, these problems will not go away. Peter Beinert best described the U.S. as having "Icarus Syndrome," a diagnose for which I concur.
Not to be a Debby Downer on this day of glorious victory and America flag waving, but we must take this victory stride. Sadly, moderation does not exist in the American foreign policy establishment vocabulary. This day will either be one of dramatic, paradigmatic change or more of the same. For our sake, I hope we pick the latter.

There was a very nice piece on my book in yesterday's New York Daily News. (Click here to read it.) God bless you, Andy Clayton. The only problem is, while he clearly likes the book, Mr. Clayton's piece doesn't really contain a good blurb. "I wasn't disappointed" is about the best I can come up with. If any of my faithful readers can come up with something better, please let me know. Whoever submits the best blurb will get a postcard from Independence, Missouri. Good luck!

The term manic depression is now felt to have negative connotations, and is being replaced by less loaded terms such as bipolar disorder or bipolar affective disorder. People with the condition can be referred to simply as bipolar, or as having bipolar disorder.
