Reviewing the Wish List
Capital improvement reforms may impact tax package
Big dollars, big dilemma.
City leaders know limited funding won't allow them to grant every request for an infrastructure upgrade. The same goes for maintenance because there isn't enough money for every project.
This year, however, a tax extension package worth roughly $800 million will likely be presented to voters as a renewal of the 2008 Fix Our Streets package.
This time, city leaders have said they will consider funding non-street projects. Back in 2008, the package focused entirely on streets.
So, how to decide which projects are most worthy?
City policy actually lays out criteria for evaluating what are known as capital improvement projects. But even carefully crafted reforms put in place starting in 2008 don't make for straightforward decisions.
For example, replacing the Tulsa police records management computer system wasn't listed with the top capital projects among budget documents published last year.
Yet the need emerged after several meetings of the Public Safety Intelligence Working Group, which met in the wake of the Jan. 7 quadruple slaying at the Fairmont Terrace apartment complex.
The safety group, chaired by Councilor G.T. Bynum, formally recommended a new police records system to the Tulsa City Council.
In an interview, Bynum said he wasn't bothered to hear that the records management system wasn't judged to be near the top of the capital improvements list last year.
"We're not going to be nailed down by the bureaucratic paper trail from a couple of years ago or whatever," Bynum said. "We're just going to assess the needs as best we can and, at least to date, all of the experts we've talked with say this is a situation that absolutely has to be improved."
Gary Hamer, the city's capital planning manager, said he and other city staff are creating a new project ID to add to the city's database of capital improvement projects.
"There was a similar project that was in the inventory many years ago, and it related to a portion of this system they were trying to get replaced, but it didn't encompass all of it," Hamer said.
In any case, as a city staffer maintaining and evaluating the database of projects, "we're trying to address the needs of both the citizens and elected officials," Hamer said, adding, "we may come forward with a recommendation that is always subject to the elected officials and what they believe is most important to the public."
Hamer took part in a reform effort in 2008 that was triggered when the Tulsa City Council began pushing to fund a capital project and city staff "didn't know the project existed," he said.
Hamer described the subsequent reform effort in a case study published in 2009 by the American Planning Association, writing that it involved a "culture change" in Tulsa.
The case study included some revealing "lessons learned" Hamer shared with fellow planners.
Hamer wrote how planners were "able to expose how factions within the government can dominate the allocation of resources, continually shaping the city's physical environment. ... Over a period of years, staff members can become very adept at exploiting relationships with elected officials and board members to direct resources toward their departmental priorities."
He also noted that "local governments are unlikely to acknowledge true long-term maintenance costs, unless planners and financial analysts insist that they be considered."
Hamer wrote that while capital improvement prioritization must be "objective," planners should "expect challenges."
"Let's face it, capital investment decisions are political, but planners must navigate the political process while maintaining an air of objectivity," Hamer wrote. "It is hoped that this case's description of how Tulsa navigated these various issues and challenges will give planners a wake-up call about the need for more sustainable infrastructure decisions and allow them to anticipate some of the obstacles that stand in the way."
Yet even attempting to follow the criteria established in 2008 isn't easy.
Those criteria identify two types of projects: expansion projects, and rehabilitation or replacement projects.
Hamer wrote in his case study that expansion projects are defined as "the expansion of the footprint of existing facilities or infrastructure, or the construction of new facilities or infrastructure."
The policy establishes three criteria for evaluating these expansion projects: "return on tax dollars/investment," "linkages and leveraging" (related to a desire to relate projects to each other to save money and boost efficiency), and "alignment with city's strategic initiatives" (which in turn relate to things like economic development and public safety).
However, most capital projects aren't classified as "expansion" projects, but as replacement and rehabilitation projects, Hamer said in an interview.
These replacement and rehab projects are sorted into "tiers." To be placed in "Tier I," which has the highest priority, a project must have "pressing funding needs," which might involve health and safety, for example.
This policy, was established by then-Mayor Kathy Taylor, who was also involved in setting up regular meetings between city staff and the mayor's office. Hamer said these meetings have continued under Mayor Dewey Bartlett.
The lines between different types of projects can sometimes be blurred. Hamer said he wasn't immediately sure if the records project will be classified as an "expansion" effort, which would involve an analysis of any "return on investment" from replacing the system.
One expansion project likely to get consideration for funding involves establishing a new bus rapid transit system along Peoria Avenue.
Hamer said it's difficult to establish a clear "return on investment" for such a project. The take from fares would not begin to cover expenses, he noted, adding that it's hard to quantify things like "air quality mitigation, not having as much traffic on the street."
The criteria say nothing about prioritizing a project based on how long it's been in development. Neither do they say anything about making sure spending is distributed throughout the geography of the city, but Bynum said that's a concern of his.
A map put together by the city shows that the large majority of streets with an overcapacity of traffic are located in the southern part of the city.
Bynum said other parts of the city have strong needs, just different ones from south Tulsa. Tools that rate pavement quality are very important, Bynum said.
"North Tulsa and midtown have the lowest rating as far as overall street quality. There's going to need to be a good balance between widening roads in newer parts of the city but having decent streets in older parts of the city," he said.

21 May 2012 Scotland Trailblazers and Muscle Group Unite in Falkirk
Trailblazers from across Scotland congregated in Falkirk on the Saturday the 19th of May.
Young campaigners from around the country came together at Falkirk Stadium to meet and discuss topics including independent living and problems with local transport.
Trailblazers Catherine Gillies, Scott Macintyre, Steven Goodwillie, Fiona Muirhead and Karis Williamson travelled from Glasgow, Dundee, Callander and Inverness to attend.
The group watched the film "A Life Worth Living, Pushing the Limits of Duchenne" presented and produced by campaigner Jon Hastie, who introuduced the film via live video link up.
Later in the day Trailblazers had a chance to talk to Catriona Sweeney, an Independent Living Officer in Lothian who offered advice to Trailblazers and muscle group members
Trailblazer Sam McCabe had this to say about the film:
A Life Worth Living was a fantastic film, it highlighted the many problems a someone with muscular dystrophy has to put up with, brilliantly.
Trailblazers Project Manager Bobby Ancil said:
It was excellent to catch up with the Scottish Trailblazers and the turn out was fantastic. It was lovely to see the support and enthusiasm shown for the film and I look forward to our next meeting.

"On the night of January 19th, I got assaulted by George Eric Farge, manager & owner of George's Kitchen in midtown on North Miami Avenue and 38th street in Miami, FL. After expressing to him that I felt discontent with the snobby service & mediocre food and it would be reviewed on my blog he pushed me and said "i will destroy you" if you do that. When I stood my ground and told him I would call the police if he touched me again he called me a 'faggot'. I told him I would ensure that his gay-bashing and bullying comment would be included in my review. Infuriated, he then savagely head butted me, swinging me to where I almost fell in traffic and could have been hit by oncoming cars. I have been feeling dizzy and nauseous since the ATTACK, a concussion at best I believe.
"I called the Police. Officer Herrera wrote the report. Case #130119-019761. I am charging George Eric Farge with assault and battery."
We cannot let individuals like this come into our community and bully us, marginalize us and degrade us with both verbal and physical force. I am disappointed that his reaction was one of violence and bigotry. I hope that this page lends itself as a warning to those considering lending patronage to any of this man-animal's 3 restaurants: George's Kitchen in Midtown, George's Kitchen in South Miami & George's in the Grove…

Prayer & Support
I have started to attend daily Mass and I know I would benefit by doing it through Lent and maybe even beyond. It will be nice to know that we are doing it together..... Who can even imagine all the graces and benefits. I am in.
Thank you so much for joining us, Jean! And, welcome to the forums .
Thank you for starting this thread. I have been blessed to be able to attend daily mass for the last 2 plus years. I know it helps me to know I can start the day with the lord. I only miss Saturdays. I hope we can get more of us to do this.
Keep the Faith
You're welcome, Chuck! And, thank you for joining in with us at daily Mass during Lent. How wonderful that you have been able to do this for over 2 years now!
Day 3 of 40 days of Lent! It's cold and sunny in Chicago and a wonderful day to walk back and forth to Noon Mass at Holy Name Cathedral! I'm hoping everyone is off to a good start with their daily Masses (or as often as you can) and/or daily readings! Don't forget to NOT eat meat today!
Patricia, thanks again for starting us on this tradition of daily Mass. I used to watch Mass daily online and somehow in the hustle and bustle of work and finishing school I let it slip. I've been doing well to watch daily Mass online since Ash Wednesday and was excited that you started this thread to remind me what a blessing it is! It's even more of a blessing knowing that I am sharing with all of the other CM members who are participating in this wonderful tradition!
May God bless all of you! You're all in my prayers
Pat, thanks for starting this thread! Just got back from the Saturday night vigil Mass, thinking "I've got to get to daily Mass for the rest of Lent." I would like to join your group, weather permitting. Our hamlet in upstate NY sometimes cancels Mass at the last minute, due to ice and snow. Still, I've got the daily readings on my Android phone too. I'm with you...
Edward, thank you for joining us (as you are able to with your work schedule and limited Mass times). Father said again at a Mass I went to during this week, that for those unable to go to daily Mass, doing the daily Readings is a good way to become closer to Christ during Lent. And, you can view these on the internet in many places, I understand, such as your archdiocesan website or the U.S. bishops site (I think).
If anyone here knows the best place to find the daily readings online, would you please post a link in this thread. Thank you!
Pat, thanks for starting this thread! Just got back from the Saturday night vigil Mass, thinking "I've got to get to daily Mass for the rest of Lent." I would like to join your group, weather permitting. Our hamlet in upstate NY sometimes cancels Mass at the last minute, due to ice and snow. Still, I've got the daily readings on my Android phone too. I'm with you...
You're welcome, Barbara, And, thank you for joining us for daily Mass (weather permitting- and I do understand that in this windy, freezing city - though not as bad as upstate NY, I think) for the 40 days of Lent!
I happened to go to the 7AM Mass today, because one of thepriests who I really trust for conservative spiritual advice and guidance was saying it.
He suggested that the absolutely best thing we could do during Lent is to attend daily Mass starting Ash Wednesday and going through Easter. (He did say if you just could not do that, to at least try to go to Mass a couple times a week, and if you couldn't do that, to read the daily Mass readings which are available in booklets or in many sites on the internet - try your archdiocesan website.)
Anyhow, I thought about it, and although it might cause me some inconvenience and there may be days that I just don't want to walk there (it's a 20 minute - 1 mile walk for me each way unless I get on a bus which shortens it by 5 blocks) if the weather is frigid, sleeting, snowing,high winds, etc. along the Chicago lakefront, I do believe that this is something I can do and something that I want to do.
So, I guess I'm looking for some support - in the form of any CM members who would want to make that same committment to go to daily Mass for the 40 days of Lent (although technically it would be 39 I think because there is no Mass on Holy Saturday until the evening Easter Mass which one could go to or instead go to the Easter Mass on Easter day). It is easier I think to do something when there are other people also doing it - a shared sense of spiritual community and support.
So, I'm hoping there will be lots of takers, but I'd be overjoyed if even one other person on CM would also want to do this for Christ!
So far so good. But we're only a couple of days in.

Virgin Australia takes to the skies
04/05/2011Virgin Australia today added a brand new Boeing 737-800 and an Airbus A330-200 aircraft to its domestic fleet, revealing the design of its new Economy and Business Class cabins.
Complete with luxury leather seating, contemporary interior design, high quality in-flight products and a gourmet menu designed by Luke Mangan, the aircraft demonstrate the superb new in-flight experience aboard Virgin Australia.
The new Boeing 737-800 Business and Economy Class interiors will be rolled out across the majority of Virgin Australia's current domestic fleet by the end of the year. Business Class is already available for sale on the Airbus A330-200 and will be available for sale on the Boeing 737-800 in the last quarter of 2011.
Virgin Australia CEO John Borghetti said the redesigned domestic fleet would offer unprecedented comfort and services for guests.
"Virgin Australia will provide a new standard of airline travel in Australia. Our new business and economy class has been designed from the ground up by experts in their fields. We have listened to what today's traveller wants from an airline and we are incorporating that into every feature and every part of our service, while maintaining competitive pricing.
"Business class guests can look forward to complimentary access to our Lounges, priority check-in, a seamless travel experience and luxurious cabin space and seating.
"Our economy class incorporates a new modern design with the new Luke Mangan-inspired retail menu and the superb customer service for which Virgin Blue is renowned. We will still offer low airfares, keeping the competition in the sky high", Mr Borghetti said.
Virgin Australia's Creative Director Hans Hulsbosch said the ultra-modern aircraft interior will provide guests with a luxury experience of relaxation, comfort and excellence in service.
"The seating and experience of these cabins has been designed to say contemporary quality. The aircraft are stunning in their visual appeal, with a very modern simplistic look that creates more space in the cabin", Mr Hulsbosch said.
Two of the luxury Airbus A330-200 aircraft will commence operations this month, providing a three times daily service between Sydney and Perth from June 2011. Another two Airbus A330-200 aircraft will commence operation in early 2012.
The Boeing 737-800 features the innovative Sky Interior, with larger overhead lockers, mood lighting and sculpted sidewalls, designed to provide guests with a feeling of spaciousness and light.
Airbus A330 Features
•27 business class luxury leather seats with very generous recline and 62 inch seat pitch
•Seatback multi-channel in-flight entertainment with the latest movies
•Range of high quality Luke Mangan inspired food options that are prepared on-board, not simply re-heated in Business Class
•251 luxury leather high comfort Economy seats
•International style amenities, including toiletries from BVLGARI & GROWN, plush blankets, pillows and noise-cancelling headsets for Business Class guests.
•Barista-style coffee and extensive choice of fine wine, beer, spirits or Champagne in Business Class
•Business and Economy Class between Sydney and Perth on sale now
New Boeing 737 Features
•8 business class seats with generous recline in separate premium cabin (2-2 configuration, 37 inch seat pitch)
•168 next generation Economy seats designed to provide enhanced 'living space'
•Custom-made hard divider separating premium and economy cabin
• 'A privacy enhancer' installed in front of first row to enhance privacy from the galley / entrance
• New Boeing Sky Interior, designed to provide guests with a feeling of spaciousness and light
• 737 Business Class cabins will be on sale from the last quarter of this year

This was my first pair of pants. Finishing them I had this amazing moment of "Oh my god, these do really look like real pants and I made them myself!"
The pattern is Simplicity 3850 from the "Built by Wendy Guide to Making your own wardrobe".
The pants were a part of my application for a design university. The topic was "Mastab" (could be translated as "scale" or "standard"). I actually re-sew the entire outfit of a lego duplo minifigure in my size and named it "the DUPLO for H&M collection". Unfortunately I don't have a photo of me wearing the entire outfit but you can kinda see the longsleeve and the scarve I made in the last picture.
The whole thing turned out not to be the best idea – my application failed badly and the university didn't even invite me for a follow-up interview. Never mind – not only am I studying design at another university now BUT I have a gorgeous pair of yellow pants to wear.

here are the first couple of batches of pics I've had time to edit etc. The National cemetery at Murfreesboro: http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z116/jackrox_2007/Stones%20River%20Cemetery/?albumview=slideshow And for those who've read "Stealing the General" http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z116/jackrox_2007/Andrews%20raiders/?albumview=slideshow some of these are a bit inconsistent quality-wise..I've been learning manual digital photography and I didn't always remember to reset my white balance...hence I had to do a bunch of Photoshop work to make these presentable. but don't worry my next batches are much better: Stones River and a massive photo study of Chickamauga...some of which I'm actually proud of LOL! |

Just glad to have something to contribute. I absolutely love shooting ACW battlefield pics. In fact it's one of the major reasons I take these trips. Hopefully my skills as a photographer are improving through sheer repetition...I took around 500 pics this time out. |

Nice pics! I've never used photobucket. How do you like it? I've been using Triond for my pics and videos but may try it. I use memory manager for correcting my photos I love the program but had to switch computers recently and my files didn't transfer properly. :-( here is a link if your interested http://www.picable.com/photographers/lorilynn.13118 http://www.kleep.com/Arts/Slideshow/Andersonville-Georgia-Civil-War-Prison.515505 ____________________ lorilynn Nick and Michael's Mom Some gave all, all gave some |

thanks! I love photobucket. Not only does it allow you to bulk upload and separate into albums and slideshows, but it also includes some basic photo editing tools. Personally I prefer Arcsoft Photo Studio 6 for my touch up and editing work. It's like a more user friendly version of Adobe Photoshop...but at a third of the cost. |

There have been two high profile violent acts this month. First, the Jovan Belcher murder-suicide on December 1st in which he murdered his "on and off" girlfriend in front of his mother, then drove to the Chiefs practice facility where he turned the gun on himself in front team employees including his head coach and general manager. Belcher and his girlfriend left behind a two month old baby.
The second act of violence being the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting in Connecticut last Friday in which a young man named Adam Lanza broke in and killed 26 people including 20 children. This prompted widespread signs of support for the victims and their families from athletes across all sports but most prominently, the NFL.
Flags were flown at half staff, there were moments of silence, pregame tributes, decals on helmets, and the New England Patriots even sent up a flare for each victim before their game against San Francisco. Players such as Victor Cruz and Chris Johnson wrote on their equipment to remember those lost in the horrific incident. Countless others took to social media to voice their opinions about how to prevent future acts like this and show support for those affected by it.
In the wake of both of these tragedies debates about gun control will and have already surfaced. Calls for more strict regulation of assault rifles with surely be heard.
I'll quickly summarize what any logical person should agree on. Stricter gun regulations would make gun crimes go down in numbers. This is proven in other countries such as Canada and those overseas. While it may not be a drastic decrease, every life you can save is worth saving, right?
Three out of four NFL players today own guns, according to a recent USA Today article. This is nearly 25% more than the national average.
People will continue to fight for the "right to bear arms" and people will continue to own guns; especially NFL players. This is almost for certain in our society and I am not suggesting that people give up their guns entirely.
The news recently came out that even a member of our beloved Ravens forfeited his guns to authorities. While Terrell Suggs did not give his up arsenal of six guns, including an AK-47, voluntarily, other players have a chance to do just that. They have a chance to set in motion an effort to fix the problem they were so vocal about over the weekend.
Since the Jovan Belcher incident, at least seven NFL players have voluntarily turned in their guns. This is an important step forward and an incredibly mature act by these players but it is not nearly enough. If these men are so concerned about the horrific violence we witnessed less than a week ago in Newtown, Connecticut (as evidenced by their on-field tributes and Twitter feeds) then they should put their money where their mouth is and turnover their own guns.
NFL players are some of the most famous and influential people in the United States. Thousands of Twitter followers and fans hang out every word they say. Its time they show some action and make a real difference. NFL gun owners have a chance to show those who are apathetic and those who believe the problem cannot be fixed that it indeed can be. These players can step up and be figureheads in the effort to prevent more events like these from happening.
Hall of Fame running back and social activist Jim Brown once said, "A huge crisis like this lets new leadership step forward." NFL players can be this new leadership. All it takes is a little sacrifice and effort. Things they aren't strangers to on the football field.

Seeking 1936 juice brakes
A fellow 1934 Hudson owner in Austria is in the process of restoring his convertible and asked for our help in locating '36 or later brakes to convert from the cable brake system to hydrolics. Park W. offered my a complete '36 brake set-up years ago (which I didn't take) however, wondering if anyone building a rod might be willing to part with the 36 or later original brake stuff.
Let me know and I will put you in touch with the gentleman.
Jim -
Jim, I'm just going through the cable to hydraulic exercise with our '35 H8 roadster. FWIW the more readily obtainable (and larger) stepdown brakes can be fitted as well as the '36 etc brakes. The stepdown backplates bolt straight up to the '35 and presumably also the '34 stub axles, and with a little bearing swapping the stepdown hubs will mount onto the '35 spindles.
Jim, Old Fogey in the UK has those brake parts. He's not used them, so may be willing to sell.
Thank you Bob & Park. I will pass info along!
Jim -
Yes, I've still got the parts from Park and they're available if anyone wants them.
However, my offer may be more appealing to someone in the UK or Europe as shipping to the US will be expensive. If someone in Oz wants them, I may be able to organise cut-price shipping through a guy in my local car club who imports old cars and parts from Australia. -
Hey David, I will let Kurt know you still have these parts. He is located in Austria (NOT Australia!) however, the '34H is being restored in Belgium so, relatively close to you in the UK.
I will private email both of you later so you can decide the best course of action.
Will we see you @ Gettysburg this year? Hope so!
Jim -
Thought this thread was about the H8 conv. I used to own!. Having now aquired back a '35 Terraplane coupe with later engine/trans change I too am looking for options to convert to hydraulics. Going with different rear axle and will adapt whatever I decide on using to make fit on the front beam (possibly Jag xj6) so really looking for info on a pedal box that will fit fairly easy , doesnt have to have power but will need a decent master cylinder for at least discs on the front. I'm thinking floor mount type as I'm now with a cable clutch set up which for visual appearance needs to stay in a low position.BTW this is a LHD vehicle, any parts leads help/advice much appreciated on either the pedal box or front brake set up
My mis-read, Jim.
If your Austrian friend wants to contact me, I'm sure he and I can work something out.
David. -
Sadly not at Gettysburg this year, Jim, due to expensive storm damage repairs to my home. However if you're at the 2013 Eastern Regional, I'm going to be there.

The NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions has penalized the University of Southern California for violations in its football, men's basketball and women's tennis programs.
Below is a timeline of events leading up to today's release of the infractions case involving Southern California.
Southern California appears before the Committee on Infractions for alleged academic fraud violations in football and women's swimming. The school is penalized with two years of probation and scholarship reductions in both sports.
April 21: NCAA Agent, Gambling and Amateurism (AGA) staff received invitation that a former Southern California football student-athlete might have received impermissible benefits while a student-athlete at the institution.
April 24: NCAA staff contacted the Pacific-10 Conference to work cooperatively on the case.
September: Major enforcement investigators join the case.
April – November: Interviews conducted by the NCAA's Academic and Membership Affairs staff, AGA staff, major enforcement and the institution.
June: Interviews by the NCAA, conference and institution continue.
August 27: Notice of Inquiry sent to the institution.
April – May: Former student-athletes and members of the men's basketball coaching staff are interviewed by the NCAA, Pac-10 and institution.
September 24: A Notice of Allegations is sent to the president of ht institution, former head men's basketball coach and the assistant football coach. Per NCAA policy, institutions have 90 days to respond to a notice of allegations.
December 23: Southern California submits its response to the Notice of Allegations.
January 4: Assistant football coach submitted his response to the Notice of Allegations (extension granted by committee).
January 11: The former head men's basketball coach submitted his response to the Notice of Allegations.
January – February: The enforcement staff conducts prehearing conferences with the institution and involved individuals. The prehearing conferences are held to prevent new information from being introduced at the hearing.
February 18–20: The institution appeared before the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions in Tempe, Arizona.
March 2: The Committee on Infractions completed deliberations regarding findings and penalties for the former head men's basketball coach.
June 10: Infractions report is released.
The penalties include:
The institution also must pay a $5,000 penalty and forfeit revenue from the 2008 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship.
Also imposed are limitations for the access granted to boosters and non-university personnel to team charters, sidelines, practices, locker rooms and camps for men's basketball and football. The university must also disassociate itself from three boosters, including the former football and men's basketball student-athletes involved in this case.
As a part of this disassociation, the university will not be able to accept financial contributions or other assistance for the athletics department from these individuals or provide them with any benefit and privileges.
In addition, the assistant football coach received a one-year show-cause penalty, which prohibits him from engaging in any recruiting activity with prospective student-athletes.
The violations span almost four years, primarily involving agent and amateurism issues for a former football student-athlete and a former men's basketball student-athlete. The committee noted that the violations in this case strike at the heart of the NCAA amateurism principle, which states that intercollegiate athletics should be motivated primarily by education and its benefits.
Regarding the individuals who triggered NCAA agent rules and the former student-athletes in this case, the committee stated, "Their actions also threatened the efforts of the NCAA and its member institutions to sponsor and support amateur competition at the collegiate level."
The findings in this case include a lack of institutional control, impermissible inducements, extra benefits, exceeding coach staff limits, and unethical conduct by an assistant football coach.
According to the public report, "The general campus environment surrounding the violations troubled the committee." When citing the lack of institutional control finding, the committee noted the university failed to heed clear warning signs; did not have proper procedures in place to monitor rules compliance; failed to regulate access to practice and facilities, including locker rooms; and in some instances failed to take an active stance or investigate concerns. As a result, three individuals who triggered NCAA agent rules committed violations involving the former football and men's basketball student-athletes.
Beginning in October 2004 and continuing until November 2005, the former football student-athlete, his stepfather and his mother agreed to form a partnership with two individuals to form a sports agency. Shortly after the agreement was reached, the former football student-athlete and his family began asking for financial and other assistance from the partners. During the course of this relationship, the agency partners gave the former football student-athlete and his family impermissible benefits including several thousand dollars, an automobile, housing, a washer and dryer, air travel, hotel lodging, and transportation, among others. Because of the receipt of these benefits, the former football student- athlete competed while ineligible. This ineligibility began at least by December 2004 and encompasses the 2005 Orange Bowl game and the entire 2005 football season, including postseason competition.
On January 8, 2006, one of the agency partners called the assistant football coach asking for assistance in convincing the former student-athlete to adhere to the agency agreement or reimburse the partners for the money and benefits they provided. The assistant football coach failed to alert the university compliance staff of this information and later provided false and misleading information to the enforcement staff regarding his knowledge of the violations. Based on these actions, the committee found the assistant football coach violated NCAA ethical-conduct rules and violated NCAA legislation by failing to report knowledge of possible violations.
The former football student-athlete and his family also received benefits from another sports marketing agency during his time at the university. On a number of occasions from November 2005 to January 2006, an individual who triggered NCAA agent rules provided impermissible benefits to the former football student-athlete, as well as his friends and family. These benefits included air travel, transportation, lodging and repairs to the automobile that was purchased by the previous agency partners.
Although the former football student-athlete participated in an interview with the enforcement staff, he refused to cooperate fully with the investigation. He failed to provide the requested information that, if it existed, could have substantiated his claim that he was not involved in NCAA rules violations.
The case also includes multiple impermissible inducements and extra benefits for a former men's basketball student-athlete, his brother, his girlfriend and his girlfriend's mother. From August 2006 through May 2008, a representative affiliated with a professional sports agency and his associate provided cash, lodging, transportation, meals, air travel, professional personal trainers, a cell phone, wireless service, a television, watches, shoes, and clothing, among other benefits.
The former head men's basketball coach, assistant men's basketball coach, institutional compliance staff, faculty athletics representative, and athletics director all knew this representative had previously committed two separate NCAA violations. One of these violations involved the former men's basketball student-athlete and in the other violation, the representative was found to have provided benefits to a student-athlete. These university officials also knew that the representative was acting as the point person in the recruitment of the former men's basketball student-athlete, yet failed to take steps to monitor this recruitment.
The committee also found the football program violated coaching staff limit rules. In August 2008, the former head football coach hired a consultant for the entire 2008 regular playing season. The consultant attended practice sessions, analyzed video footage of contests, and discussed with the former head football coach his observations and analyses of the university's special teams. These activities led the university to exceed the maximum number of countable coaches.
Further, from November 2006 to March 2009, a former women's tennis student-athlete used an athletics department long-distance access code to make 123 unauthorized international telephone calls to family members. The total value of the calls is more than $7,000.
The committee acknowledged the difficulty of the investigation. Investigations of amateurism cases are often laborious, given the significant effort by those involved to avoid leaving a paper trail or other evidence. It also noted that a number of the key individuals, including the involved former football and basketball student-athletes, refused to cooperate fully with the investigation. Finally, in the case of men's basketball, credible information surfaced during the time that the football allegations were being actively investigated.
In determining the penalties, the committee considered the university's self-imposed penalties, corrective actions and cooperation. The committee seriously contemplated imposing a television-ban penalty in this case. However, after careful consideration, it ultimately decided that the penalties below adequately respond to the nature of violations and the level of institutional responsibility. The penalties, some of which were self-imposed by the university and adopted by the committee, are:
The members of the Committee on Infractions who reviewed this case include Paul Dee, lecturer of law and education at the University of Miami (Florida) and formerly the institution's athletics director and general counsel. He is the chair of the Committee on Infractions. Other members are Britton Banowsky, commissioner of Conference USA; John S. Black, attorney; Melissa Conboy, deputy director of athletics at University of Notre Dame; Brian Halloran, attorney and the manager/general counsel of Painted Hills Wind Developers; Eleanor Myers, faculty athletics representative and law professor at Temple University; Josephine (Jo) R. Potuto, the Richard H. Larson Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Nebraska College of Law; and Dennis Thomas, the commissioner of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and formerly director of athletics at Hampton University.

I myself would like to see RB3 versions of the iwrestledabearonce songs.
I myself would like to see RB3 versions of the iwrestledabearonce songs.
Addicted to bad movies since 2008
This list mostly contains songs that didn't make it over in RBN 1.0 format and they don't necessarily benefit from the addition of harmonies and keys. Of course, some songs on the list do and would be awesome with those things added.
* Stagehands - "Welcome To Our Town"
* Sybreed - "Doomsday Party"
* Van Friscia - "Epic Symphony..." - PARTS 1 & 2
* A Wilhelm Scream - "Skid Rock"
* Widespread Panic - "Chilly Water"
* Alchemilla - "Bleeder"
* Ron Wasserman - "Fight Back"
* Affiance - "Call Of The Warrior"
* Valient Thorr - "Doublecrossed"
* Bornholm - "When The Light Was Born"
Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow - Auron, FFX
Since Free Spirit already has their tracks RB3 Version. Widespread Panic would have to be a sure choice. And all of their songs.
It's only oversaturation if you have to switch discs.
Where's.. Tesla, Zeppelin, Gallagher, Floyd?
#1 Free Spirit fan!
XBL- ECOJIG DOT COM 1580 tx
- Every Amberian Dawn song (especially the ones that were never ported over to the PS3).
- The First and Second Movements of Van Friscia's Epic Symphony
- Special Effects by Freezepop
- Whatever Is Wrong With You by Marillion
- Dawn of a Million Souls by Ayreon
- Hyperbole by Glass Hammer
- Herlathing by Morgawr
- Army of the Damned by Pythia
No one has said The Shins yet? Well, then I'll be first. The Shins!
You know I agree with you on "Electricity Is In My Soul," Lachesis. (We were just talking about this yesterday on Creators.) However, it doesn't look too likely, based on my conversation with the author/lead robot. Maybe if "Brass Goggles" sells extremely well and the band sees a spike in popularity. Also, he said he will likely chart a song from their upcoming album. So, at least 2/3 SPG songs will have keys/harmonies!
BOP! My body's still movin'. <3
Have you seen the music video? Elijah Wood makes everything more enjoyable.
Oh, absolutely.
Wow. All I've ever heard was the RBN version. Holy cow. I want keys!
Definitely. I love Freezepop so much more than I probably should.
CAKE & Modest Mouse DLC Threads
I sorta want to do my song as an RB3 version, just for a chance to get it on PS3...
I Am King Tony - "Stereo Stereo" available on RBN!
IAmKingTony @ Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter
A Wilhelm Scream - Skid Rock
metalcharter: (if metalcharter still exists)
PLEEEEEAAASE do Bornholm - Where the Light Was Born, think of how epic the ending would be, with keyboards and everything. It would be amazing.
Fang Island's Daisy would be even better in rb3 mode. Sunny Day Real Estate would have sweet harmonies, especially In Circles.

Dear All, Years ago, a friend gave me a GAR membership pin consisting of a bronze-trimmed pin iwth a navy background and what looks like an eagle "bird," connected to a star GAR member medal, by torn red and white striped ribbon. Can anyone tell me more about this pin, especially the significance of the "bird". I've read that different insignia on the pin designates rank, but this is not the current Col. "bird". Also did everyone have this medal, or was it issued for a special occasion such as a national convention? All help will be appreciated. CKL |

CKL- There were a bewildering number of GAR medals made. Perhaps from what you described you have one from a GAR staff officer. Pictures of those at national and state level are shown on the link below. MEMBERSHIP BADGES OF THE GAR |

Dear Tex, Thanks!! And you hit the jackpot. My pin is the one featured, of a national staff officer. Once I was informed about ranks, I knew the old eagle had to be important, although it's really the gold border that signifies national. I guess I won't do any harm by keeping the pin and medal separate, although I've been told you can get the ribbon replaced. I can hardly move the pin, so to wear it, I'd have to replace it which would ruin any value. I checked on E-bay, and it seems the pin would be in the $35-50 range of value. Not bad, for getting it free. I also have a small collection of WWII sweetheart jewelry--pins, pendants, and rings that wives and girlfriends had made to signify the services their husbands or boyfriends were in. And I have a couple of good and rare pieces--like a quaint USCG heart pendant. So now I wear my GAR medal on a silk rope as a pendant. too. My CW sweetheart pendant. When I talk on WWII I wear my sweetheart jewelry; when I talk on my CW books, I wear my GAR. But someday, like author Tom Wolfe, I want to wear a white linen dress or suit (which is what he always wears) to signify the Southern Belle heritage of my heroine, Anna Ella Carroll. And when I win the lottery, I'll be sailing on the QEII, too! Thanks again CKL |

CKL Interesting about your GAR medal. I am a DOB daughter of both . Member of both Daughters organizations. The Daughters of Union Vets I belong to was organized a couple of years ago and I am a charter member. We were given a set of officers pins from a tent that was deactivated many years ago. We kept discussing what to do with the pins. At first we had them in a case that was brought to meetings and kept by the president. Last meeting we decided to give the pins to the officers to wear. I am now , as long as I am Junior Vice President , the owner of a lovely old Daughters pin with it's orginal ribbon even on it . I too would love to have an Edwardian suit to wear to special events like I see in pictures of the Daughters at the turn of the last century. Hopefully I can have one made in the future. I would also love to have a white linen suit Edwardian style Susan |

Yes i think rice sucks, yes i remember how good it tasted with cinnamon and sugar and milk :/ don't get sum! :p
I agree that rice is constipating and not as optimal as fruit, but feel it's important to get the carbs in and if fruit's not available, rice makes a decent second best.
Good points, I find all(white,brown and wild) rice constipating and dislike it's fame. I haven't had it in a long time though.
This is the first rule of going primal according to this guy:
Mark Sisson hates carbs so why should he be a good source of info on carbs? He also says that fruit is unhealthy and it will make you fat!!

To share this article: Enter the email address you want to send this article to in the field and click "Send"
By Hal Broadfoot
As a youngster, I was taught that birds flew south for the winter and north for the summer. While that conception of migration is a useful summary for a child, it does not do the phenomenon justice. It simplifies - too much, I think - the dynamics of bird populations, as it ignores what birds do during the rest of the year and that some birds just stay put.
Think about what is going on in your neighborhood right now. Some of the northern cardinals, Carolina chickadees and tufted titmice that have been feeding at your and your neighbors' feeders all winter are likely nesting in your dogwoods, hollies, and azaleas.
A few of these birds are already feeding nestlings or fledglings. Even while that is going on, every day, birds on their way north from as far away as South America and as close as South Carolina are arriving and landing in the same trees and shrubs.
Some, like the gray catbirds that arrived last week, will stay and build their own nests and raise a brood or two before heading south again in the fall. Others, like the prairie warbler you might hear singing tomorrow morning, pass through on their way north to New England or Canada.
But, it's even more complicated than that.
We don't know for certain if the cardinals that are nesting in my yard and yours today are the same birds that we had all winter. Those individuals could have left to head north a month or so ago, only to be replaced by others of their species coming up from their wintering grounds farther south. How do you know if you are looking at the same birds when members of the same species all look so much alike?
It is easier to see migration in action when a species is completely absent for five or six months and then suddenly returns. Ruby-throated hummingbirds come to mind. They are conspicuous in both their presence and their absence, so we know that they have come and gone. We also recognize we are experiencing migration when "one-day wonders," such as rose-breasted grosbeaks or indigo buntings briefly stop in before moving on.
We assume that the birds we have each year are the same individuals from previous years, but is that really the case? Robins nest in same the tree each year. A mockingbird sings from the same perch. A hummingbird comes back to the spot where we had hung a sugar-water feeder last year and seems disappointed not to find it there this year. Are these really the same birds? Or are these just coincidences?
I wondered something similar last month about "my" red-breasted nuthatches. Last fall this species pushed farther south than usual, and birders, like me, who had not seen them in Cumberland County in more than a decade suddenly had them in their yards. I thought I heard them around Halloween, and I finally saw several in my yard on Veteran's Day. After that, I either saw or heard them every day for 4 1/2months, any time I looked for them. Then, around the first week of April, they were gone.
Two weeks later my red-breasted nuthatches came back, but they left again within a day or two. They came and went again a week later. The birds all looked and acted the same. They fed from the same feeders in the same manner. It would be easy to assume that my birds made a start north, thought better of it and returned to my yard. Twice.
However, it could also be that I had three waves of totally unique groups of red-breasted nuthatches. For that matter, who can say for certain that the birds that I think stayed with me from November to April were even the same individuals?
Northward migration is slowing down now, but birds are still arriving and pushing through. I've noticed a reduction in the large population of turkey vultures that invaded Fayetteville over the winter. I think they have headed north.
Turkey vulture is a year 'round species here, so they will not completely disappear. But we should find fewer of these birds in town over the next few weeks.
White-throated sparrows have left, mostly. Pine siskins are gone too. Warblers, tanagers, vireos, and some shorebird species are still coming through. Some of their number will stay for the summer.
After a short nesting season, southward migration will begin for a few species in mid-summer. Obviously, there is more to migration than we learned as children.

River's End
Online Reservations
Very nice dinner, the Pacific Wild Salmon was incredibly good! Best salmon I've ever had. The preparation was terrific. Loved it all -- ncluding the 'Forbidden Rice"
This restaurant has a lovely view out to the Pacific, with friendly, fairly efficient service. We had a tomato salad that was sublime, so I expected the rest of the food to match it, but alas, nothing else was,excellent. My friend and I got the sea bass which was overbooked, and the various things that accompanied it just didn't work. The flavors clashed. Another friend got the,duck, which he said was so-so. My husband liked his salmon special, although it came with only 2 Brussels sprouts even though they were part of the dish's name. So, it overall was good and we would go back,but not great...and for the price this was disappointing.
I have never been to a better dinner at a restaurant. The food was fabulous the environment was fabulous. The lady who served us was fabulous. It was great to have our wedding anniversary at the River End.
What a fantastic restaurant in a fairly isolated location! The food was worthy of the SF food scene. The duck confit/cherry salad was terrific, as was the local salmon in the ginger beurre blanc!! Sooo good!!! The ahi tuna needed a bit more flavor in the accompaniments, but the fish was quite good. The chocolate/raspberry creme brûlée was a scrumptious finish to the meal! What a gem in Jenner!
My wife and I absolutely adore this place. Request a window seat if possible. The sunsets over the ocean are gorgeous. Great view. Mellow crowd. Good people.
River's End is located in one of the most scenic areas of the California coast. There was a good salmon catch this season, so my wife and I selected the salmon special. The selection was well prepared and presented. Wait service was excellent and well-timed. The star of the evening was the glorious sunset. If you are in the Bodega Bay Area, River's End is not to be missed.
The view was beautiful. The food was all good. It was light and flavorful - not too fatty. Warm, attentive service. We will come back.
Warm welcome and table service was friendly, relaxed and informed. The beet salad is beautiful, but most of my bites were beets only, and the reduction was just two tiny drops on the plate. The heirloom salad was delicious - when we finished the salad we sopped our bread in the juices. The filet mignon was worth the splurge, even ordered medium. King salmon is in season, and the menu described it as lightly grilled. I was disappointed that it was overcooked, and.the "bright" moutarde tasted like any spicy brown mustard. Not yummy. I'll order better next time - the white prawns were my first thought. I should have stayed with that. Dessert was strawberry ice cream - the best I ever tasted and a pleasing finish to erase the "misses".
20 years later and as wonderful as our first dining experience at River's End. Highly recommended. Generous portions and high quality.
Local Salmon is the best here at River's End. For foodies there is no place better. From appetizers to dessert this restaurant is an outstanding experience worth remembering.
Last minute find that fit the bill for a romantic birthday celebration for my husband. What a wonderful find!! The food was excellent and the service was stellar. I know we will be returning soon!!! !
Had a wonderful sunset dinner. Great location. Food was terrific. Wines were really good plus great value. Make sure you go to this gem.
A perfect birthday for me starts with hiking, maybe includes an enzyme bath and massage at Osmosis but always finishes at Riversend. The view alone is worth the drive as you watch the sunset where the Russian River meets the ocean. But there is more. Salmon caught a few miles away, locally sourced vegetables and Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley. All prepared superbly in for relaxed, quiet dining. I first stopped here years ago for wine and bread on the deck after a day of beachhiking. I have returned for 5 birthdays. There is no place I would rather be. P.S. The sunsets are gorgeous but this year was foggy. I thought I might be disappointed. It was lovely in a different way.
We had the filet and the salmon in phylo. Both were very good. The sunset was spectacular.
It's a magical spot to watch the sea birds fly around the big rocks as the last rays of sun slip into the waiting waves....location,location, location!.....we dined on ahi, roasted beets with incredible garnish, and a juicy, mouth watering steak.....all imaginatively prepared and served.....pls put this on your to do list....
We were celebrating our anniversary weekend in Occidental. A local organic farmer told us we must go to River's End, where in his opinion its a "ten" . He was spot-on. Everything we put on our forks was delicious. Locally caught salmon and sea bass, local veggies, house-made ice cream, local wines all perfectly balanced, precisely cooked, quickly served. One minor oops: A side order of sautéed spinach was forgotten. We forgot it too, because the portions are generous. We chatted with the owner who described his commitment to sourcing everything locally, from fish caught just offshore, and beef raised on the grassy hills behind the restaurant, to organic produce selected from the small farmers in the valley. Knowledgeable staff too.
It just didn't matter that the Pacific sunset we had driven to River's End to witness got fogged in. The food was extraordinary - fresh caught California wild salmon, served as both crudo and barbecue, with that special fresh California style preparation! And the delicious glass of iron Horse Rosé Champagne that greeted us thanks to our reservations from Open Table made it an even greater treat!
Lovley view accompanied by excellent food, a bit if a wiggley drive to get there but worth the trip!
Had a great meal and wonderful views of Goat Rock Beach. Highly recommend this restaurant f you are out this way.
River's End is a unique place. The views were amazing! We enjoyed our lunch and thought the service was excellent. The food was very good too! We recommend this place very highly!
Hubby and I took a drive to Jenner to enjoy views of the Russian River and the Pacific Ocean and have a lovely lunch at Rivers End. The table we had was front and center overlooking the ocean and river. It may have been an addition to the restaurant on the side, on an enclosed patio. It was very desirable, as tables in the main dining area were a bit closer and not all had the same unobstructed view. Making our reservation ahead of time on Open Table may have made our experience even better. We enjoyed local oysters, pan seared Sea Bass and fresh vegetables, husband enjoyed the Duck Confit sandwich. The wine list looked extensive, but since we are not drinkers we aren't able to comment here. Would love to return again!
My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous anniversary dinner here with a great view. The ceviche was heavenly, and my salmon special was delicious. The view of the sunset was the icing on the cake! Great photos...
Great spot with everything going for it except the parking...Get there early and enjoy!
I don't travel outside San Francisco often to dine. To find a place where the food & service was on par with what I expect from a high end restaurant in the City, was a real treat. Ordered three items off of their "special" Salmon menu. all wonderful. As per many of the other reviews, a beautiful view. Also, it's a wonderful drive up on Highway 1.
This location has a great sunset view, unfortunately it was foggy the evening we were there. The location food and service were all very good.
Our Rivers End experience was so wonderful that I told a dozen people about it the next day. The flavors were so refined, ingredients fresh and presentation inventive. Our server Jason made great suggestions and had perfect timing. We can't wait to go back.
Only downfall was no steak served at lunchtime. Otherwise amazing! I had the shrimp and pasta and it was SO GOOD! I finished every bite. OH and be CAREFUL! it's on Hwy 1 and the parking lot is small. DEFINITELY need reservations and to arrive early is probably best. There is only enough spots for people with reservations!
Staff was competent and friendly, food excellent, and the view spectacular.
The food was second only to the view of the coast as the sun set, changing colors second by second. Everything was breathtaking!
This is the third time we've enjoyed dining at River's End, and each time has been lovely. From well-chosen appetizers and entrées to brilliant desserts, always a wonderful experience. Oh, did I mention the view? Do I need to mention the view? Probably the best coastal view in Norcal, maybe the state. Definitely a special place.
The view was fantastic. The staff was pleasant and made you feel welcomed. Food was very well done and varied.
Fantastic view of the ocean and river. Food excellent - service excellent. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves a view and good food, very romantic. We will be back for another meal the next time we are in the area.
Many diners had great views but we had the best view, and on a clear, sunny day. The food was simply excellent, and interesting. Nice wines and non-alchoholic drinks. Charming and beautiful waitress. Capped off with super homemade desserts. For a day on the coast, it is hard to beat.
Above excellent wait staff! Great menu and food! Loved our table over the water. First time in area
Located where the Russian River meets the Pacific with panoramic views of both, this romantic cozy restaurant has great (if a bit pricy) food focused on dishes from the sea. A great special occasion restaurant especially if timed with the sunset on a fogless autumn eve.
Finest salmon ever. Moist, flavorful, truly an event of stature. Duck pate appetizer excellent.
We take all our out of town guests to enjoy the views and the food is excellent. This time it was salmon season and the chef provides a number of alternative ways to enjoy the freshness of the local catch. Don't miss it. The wine list is not extensive but features a number of high quality local wines.
I chose River's End for the final evening of a week's reunion with three of my college roommates, who live in Illinois. Our meal featured local salmon, a local wine, and a gorgeous sunset. It couldn't have been a more perfect experience of our beautiful Sonoma County. They since have shared that if was a highlight of their visit.
My two grown sons and I were on a trip up Hwy 1 and this place was recommended. We had a wonderful time, food was good and a nice wine list, but the view of the sunset was fantastic! The menu was limited, I think due to the limited kitchen space, but all of our meals were great Thanks
Excellent food with a view of the ocean, beautiful way to enjoy a glass of wine on the deck watching the ocean waves. Weather was gorgeous which added to the ambiance. Special of the day was oysters which were excellent as was the fish and chips. Would definitely come back again when in the area.
Booked this reservation as one of two fine dining restaurants on our five day visit to California wine country. We were not disappointed. Situated on a point overlooking Pacific coast. Could not have asked for a more romantic scene. Food selections were awesome and very nicely prepared. Wait staff very attentive and knowledgeable about the food and presentation. Wine list was to die for! Excellent wine country restaurant!
We really enjoyed the updated menu! The food was spectacular! I had the seared ahi, and my wife had a prawn /pasta dish. We had the duck appetizer....delicious!
Make sure you make your reservation in time for the sunset...unbelievable! Great service and delicious food. Very romantic and great for a special occasion.
This restaurant in Jenner is absolutely top notch, for anywhere along the northern California coast, and is worth driving an hour to if that is what it takes. Of course, the view where the Russian River empties into the Pacific is fabulous, especially at sunset time, but an equal draw is the quality of the food. We ate there two nights in a row, having four of the main courses on the relatively small menu, and all were exemplary: vegetable Napolean, sea bass on a bed/broth of vegetables, pork tenderloin and apples, and white prawns on home-made pasta. Absolutely fantastic! The wine list is good and not egregiously over-priced, and our service was attentive, friendly, and efficient.
River's End was an enchanting dining experience. We arrived early for our dinner. We were seated at a lovely table and had a charming and attentive waitress. Our dinners were tasty. The sunset view from the windows was spectacular.
I took my wife to this restaurant for our 20th anniversary dinner as we were here on a getaway weekend. Could not have asked for a better night as the food was outstanding, the service great and the view was awesome...what else is there to say?????
My wife and I enjoyed a delightful Sunday afternoon lunch after a walk in Armstrong Woods to work up an appetite. The food was excellent and the service excellent. After the meal we enjoyed sitting on the deck to watch the sunset over the ocean. Wonderful experience.
We had a great view by the window overlooking the river. It couldn't have been a better place to celebrate our wedding engagement with our families.
The view was a bit foggy but the ambiance, service and food was stellar. The presentation of each dish was beautiful and the flavors amazing. We enjoyed cream of mushroom soup, an orzo and roasted squash, fennel salad and duck rolls that were heavenly. I was a bit disappointed in the fish and chips, but the pumpkin trifle certainly made up for that. The fish and chips were a bit greasy and being that close to the fish market at Bodega Bay I expected more.
We had stumbled into River's End on our last trip to the area, and made it a definite stop on our second trip. The view is fantastic and the food is amazing. Not to be missed, even though it might be a bit of a drive. Our waitress Dana was great, and very helpful. Everything we had was perfect!! I cannot wait to go back!!
