EDWARDSVILLE — Infighting on the Southern Illinois University board led to a canceled trustee meeting Thursday with too few members to vote, while the university president and former board chairman traded barbs.
On Monday, Gov. Pat Quinn replaced three metro-east trustees on the SIU board whose terms were expiring with three new appointees, only one of whom was from the metro-east.
SIU President Glenn Poshard said removing board Chairman John Simmons, Vice Chairman Ed Hightower and Secretary Mark Hinrichs was political retaliation by the governor. All three are SIUE alumni and residents of the metro-east; Hightower is superintendent of Edwardsville District 7.
"We all know what happened here," Poshard said. "There's no sense in trying to spin the truth."
The rift dates to last March, when the SIU board -- led by Simmons, Hightower and Hinrichs -- refused to give then-chairman Roger Herrin another term, contending he was intruding on day-to-day operations of the university. Simmons replaced Herrin as chairman.
Poshard said that Quinn staffers had called board members ahead of Herrin's ouster to ask if they planned to vote on keeping Herrin as chairman. If members said no, Poshard said Quinn staffers asked them to skip the election or risk being kicked off the board.
Now, Poshard said, Quinn had removed board members whose terms expired and nominated Sandra Cook of Collinsville, Melvin Terrell of Chicago and Lee Milner of Springfield -- all three SIU Carbondale graduates -- to replace them.
Quinn spokeswoman Brooke Anderson denied the accusations. "It is (Quinn's) duty to make appointments, it is the board's duty and responsibility to elect the chairman," she said.
"The fact of the matter is that the governor ... told me they were not interested in the chairmanship (issue) any longer," Poshard said. "But when the appointments came down ... Dr. Terrell told us that the governor's office had told him that Mr. Herrin would be chairman and he would be vice chairman."
Herrin said Poshard was trying to leverage the board against his chairmanship.
"Dr. Poshard has made it clear that he wants anyone to be chairman except me," Herrin said. He said he had not had conversations with Quinn or his staff except to confirm that they would be sending new trustees to the board.
But those nominees were rejected Wednesday by the state Senate, which voted 0-23 with 32 "present" votes against confirming the nominees.
Anderson said Quinn was "very disappointed" that the Senate rejected his appointees.
"The students of Southern Illinois University's three campuses deserve better than they got yesterday," Anderson said Thursday. "Instead of playing politics, the members of the Senate should give Sandra Cook, Dr. Melvin Terrell and Lee Milner a fair hearing."
But state Sen. Bill Haine, D-Alton, said the reason he voted no was because the nominees had not been vetted by a Senate committee and that Quinn had not consulted the Senate regarding his nominees.
"These three appointees were given to us from the governor without any background information at all," Haine said. "There is no way we can give advice or consent to these appointments if we don't know who these people are."
Anderson said the Senate was legally permitted to reconsider the nominees, but did not say whether the governor had decided to renominate them.
On Wednesday, the state Senate refused to confirm Quinn's appointees, leaving the board with only five members, one of whom is a student who cannot vote. Trustee Marquita Wiley of Belleville was absent at Thursday's meeting, which left the board without a quorum and unable to conduct business.
Herrin said he would like to reschedule the meeting as soon as possible, while Poshard said he felt the new trustees would need time to study the issues before voting.
Meanwhile, state Rep. Jay Hoffman, D-Belleville, introduced a bill Tuesday to sever the Edwardsville and Carbondale campuses into separate universities, similar to a bill Hoffman introduced six years ago and later withdrew. The bill is House Bill 3389 and has been referred to the Rules Committee.
Poshard on Thursday gave a State of the University address, in which he said SIU must address a "prosperity gap" in educational attainment between rich and poor, as well as the enrollment losses at Carbondale and low retention rates at both campuses.

Hey All,
Love the Shreddage libraries! Sound awesome. Just one quickie... The guitars themselves are only in that drop B and drop A tuning right? If I wanted to use regular 440hz standard guitar tuning or Eb tuning these libraries aren't gonna be any good, correct? And same goes for the Bass guitar library? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work people!! A new fan, Wayne |
^ | Joined: 25 Nov 2003 Member: #10600 | ||
The only adjustment to tuning you can do is via the tuning knob(at least in Shreddage 2), and each step = one whole note step up or down on the scale. You don't "have to" retune, but then you're forced to transpose your parts, say if you copy/paste from guitar to bass. |
^ | Joined: 03 Oct 2012 Member: #289194 Location: VA, USA | ||
I don't know any instrument sample library that is not tuned on 440hz standard. |
^ | Joined: 17 Sep 2011 Member: #264899 | ||
The above two answers are pretty much what I would say, but I will add the following: even though Shreddage has set tuning per-string (A/E/A/D/G/B/E), it doesn't really limit you since we have every single pitch sampled on each string. Alternate tunings tend to come into play so that you can play some unusually voiced chords, but since Shreddage is a MIDI instrument you can just write notes and it will play them... simple as that ---- Zebra 2 Tetralogy - 188 Dance/Electronic Presets!

Hey all,
Thanks for the info. So from this last replay Z, I am guessing that if play a song that is in standard guitar tuning or a 1/2 step down that Shreddage will still work ok for me than? The every pitch on every string statement puts my mind most at ease, so I think I am going to order it. Any problems or questions and I'll be back here to get them answered. Again, thanks for all the help! Wayne |

Game On
Game On: "John Deere Harvest in the Heartland", "Master of Illusion", "Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends", "Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations", $29.99 Nintendo DS, E for Everyone/ "Phoenix Wright" T for Teen
It's the little things that count.
In a year when we've been "BioShock"-ed, heard the "Call of Duty," unpacked "The Orange Box" and gone round and round with "Halo," the Nintendo DS has quietly remained a bastion of unusual diversions. When you're in the mood for something completely different, the DS always seems to have what you need.
Where else can you pretend to own a John Deere tractor, learn and perform magic tricks, take a crack at cooking or win a trial as a defense attorney?
"John Deere Harvest in the Heartland" starts out too cute and throws out so many instructions that you figure it might be easier to learn to drive a real tractor and run a real farm. But stick with the premise for a bit, and the seasonal monotony of growing crops turns into an engaging management sim.
Once you've wiped the loam from your hands, "Master of Illusion" packages together a set of magic tricks you can easily learn and perform, or simply enjoy. Recognizing that a handful of tricks will go only so far, the title cleverly bundles the prestidigitation with a system that forces you to earn new tricks over consecutive days and encourages you to practice tricks before performing them for anyone — along with a collection of card games and mini-games for when you run out of tricks.
The package even comes with a set of playing cards that you can use to perform illusions and to con your friends at poker once you learn the secrets.
"Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends" and "Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations" are two welcome sequels on the platform. Although neither does much more than reprise its initial installment, both maintain the original's spark. And why wouldn't we want more of a game that challenges us to cook meatloaf and make sushi in a series of mini-games, or to solve crimes and defend the innocent through a series of branching conversations?
"Cooking Mama" adds more recipes and more passive-aggressive coaching from Mama, who dishes out compliments and ire in equal doses. Mix the pizza dough well, and she beams. Burn an ingredient, and she glowers. "Phoenix Wright" remains a goofy cartoon Perry Mason that easily mixes narrative intrigue with interactive flair as you attempt to root out contradictions in testimony and hunt for clues at crime scenes.
Weird, sure. Fun, definitely.
What makes the DS such a magnet for offbeat titles? You might imagine that the system's unique touch screen, audio input and two-screen clamshell simply attract innovation. More likely, the real reason is plain old economics. The old-school graphics and last year's technology mean that DS games require smaller development teams and budgets. So, in a risk-averse publishing business, where mega-million-dollar gambles pay off only on big, big hits, some developers satisfy their creative urges with smaller projects beefed up with creativity.
And that's a reason to keep a DS in your pocket.

With the release of Studs, we get back to the basics and focus exclusively on hot, hairy men.
Customers who bought this item also got:
Scene 1
Studio Founders Chris Ward and JD Slater are pleased to present superstar discovery Huessein. Not since the time of the legendary Bruno has a man so stunning appeared in gay erotica. Huessein is a bodybuilder who lives in Germany, but he gets his hairy good looks from his Turkish background. Do not miss out on his debut performance, coupled with another classic Kristen Bjorn heart-throb - Ivan Andros. So much hair! So many muscles! Two cannonball asses and two of the biggest cocks you will ever see! Pairings like this are what make Raging Stallion Studios the leader in macho man erotica!
Scene 2
Raging Stallion Studios is proud to present Eric Evans in his final movie. That's right, he has now retired from the industry. And what a shame! He never looked better, and we here at Raging Stallion are all thankful that we had the chance to work with Eric over the years. He is one of porn's greatest performers! (If you want to check him out in one of his first films - nearly ten years ago - check out Measuring Up, now available on our website!). If there ever was a leather/muscle fantasy, this solo is it. It looks and feels just like those old loops from the 1970s - all about male perfection!
Scene 3
Parker Williams plow fucks French boy-toy Taurus on the back stairs of an old factory. Parker, who was brilliant in Downright Dangerous, offers another show stopping performance that will blow you away. Taurus, who is the most eager sex-pig we have ever seen, takes a fucking that will make your ass hurt just watching! These two guys are porn pros - that means they know how to fuck for the audience! Parker Williams likes to sweat when he fucks, and his body, covered in perfect blond hair, shines with every drop! When you see him in action you know that there is no twink within five hundred miles! This scene was directed by Raging Stallion Studios videographer David Hempling.
Scene 4
Introducing Grayson Hurst in his video debut. Grayson is one of those guys with a firm hairy torso, Tom Vacarro-like. More of a sports jock than a muscle god, Grayson reminds us of Jeff Allen (the legendary hairy star of Raiders of the Lost Arse). Grayson has Raging Stallion written all over him! He does an excellent job in his first film appearance. He is guaranteed to delight!
Scene 5
Lovers Pierce Daniels and JD Kollin are enjoying their happy hour too much to leave the bar. Instead, they strike up a flirtation with hot and horny bartender Ivan Andros...discussing the possibility of a threeway between them. Before long Ivan is on his feet and both JD and Pierce are devotedly sharing his cock. They suck and suck, loving that thick Latin prick. But each man wants more and the threeway melds into a scorching train-pulling...with JD and Pierce's cocks alternately thrusting deep into Ivan's ass and throat. As Ivan stands between the lovers, each man jacks out his load...thick spurts of cum in triplicate.

Do Your Holiday Shopping At Grand Central Terminal at the Shop at Cooper-Hewitt
If your journeys take you through Grand Central in New York City this holiday season, you can do your shopping at a new off-site retail location of The Shop at Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum at the Graybar Passage of Grand Central Terminal. The new kiosk joins other retailers with Graybar Passage Kiosks which offer quick shopping for those in transit.
The new kiosk is open from November 4 through Janurary 31, 2011, and will offer a selection of 25 design works from the museum's shop. The shop's cheerful bright color comes from the use of USM Modular Furniture's Haller system in orange, a color available for the first time in three decades. Cooper-Hewitt chose the USM Haller system-a 1963 design classic, to outfit its museum shop and now the kiosk. The system itself, available in several different configurations and colors, is also available for purchase.
The gifts themselves are well curated, the sort of cool, quirky, well-designed objects that make unusual gifts for those who are hard to shop for. Items at the kiosk are also for sale at the main Shop at Cooper-Hewitt and online at www.cooperhewittshop.org.

How to make straw hay bales for horses for 18" or American Girl dolls. Free step by step sewing tutorial.
Projects built from this plan. Thank you for submitting brag posts, it's appreciated by all!
No brag posts have been found yet. Have you built this project? Please help other by submitting brag posts.
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
First cut out:
2 - 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" pieces for the ends
4 - 3 1/2" x 7" pieces for the sides
I wouldn't recommend going much shorter just because it will get hard to sew with a sewing machine (unless you are hand sewing). I started cutting with a rotary cutter, but found my burlap was really tough to cut with it (probably needed a new blade) so I ended up cutting with scissors and that was easier for me.
The easy way is to cut strips 3 1/2" wide from the burlap, and then just trim down to 3 1/2" or 7" lengths as needed. Hey, I can't help myself - I think in terms of ripping and cross cutting :)
Start in the middle and turn corners by:
1. When you are about 1/4" from the end of your smaller piece, with the needle depressed in the fabric, lift the foot.
2. Turn the bottom fabric so the next side edge matches your top piece and put the foot back down.
3. Sew to within 1/4" of the next corner and repeat until all four sides are done.
I again used a zig zag stitch and 1/4" inseams.
I so appreciate this! I love a good picture tutorial! Thanks Ana! These are seriously so cute!
Ana I love seeing you sew! Truly the cutest barn accessory ever, very clever.
It has been a while since Home Ec., but are the strips of burlap for the sides 7x7, or 3.5x7?

It´s hard to tell if these guys are just made of pure stupid, or if they´re nefarious tyrants. Either way, they´re trouble.
Looks like Biden and Obambi are confident they can get Boehner and the Rebublicans to completely surrender on gun confiscation legislation by the end of the month.
"Veep" rhymes with "creep." Coincidence?
Und then ve vill address the Jewish question.
Our "leaders" need to understand if they trample our rightto own any arm then they won´t have to come take them,we´ll bring it to them.
Do they assume we will comply just because they chose to re-write the Constitution ? Are they really that stupid ?
He´s smoking crack. Nothing will happen.
Yup, #5, seems like they´re looking for a "final solution" to the gun control...
To echo an prior poster´s point - and I sincerely don´t know the answer to this question, but either these wannabe tyrants have no idea they are playing with fire tempting fate by lighting the fuse on a civil war, or that is exactly what they want?When a government is willing to use all of its resources, including the implied and actual use force, to disarm law-abiding citizens at the price of those citizens´ lives and/or freedon, then we are approaching the same challenge our Founders faced at Lexington and Concord almost 238 years ago.
An electoral kiss of death for Congressional Democrats in some very key states. Their constituents may be stupid, but they´re not suicidal.
Obe can legislate exe orders and Congressional dems can pass all the bills they want then the Republicans can cave all they want BUT it takes an amendment ratified by 36 State legislatures ( 2/3 of them) to change the Constitution and it´s doubtful that the BIll Of Rights can be changed at all.Since red states outnumber the lib states the amendment will meet the same fate as the equal rights for women and many other political endeavors.
Congress? Who needs Congress when you have executive orders.../s
I´m going to quote Mark Levin: "Oh yeah? What if we say NO?"
Ditto #1.Come and get them, Joe...
How long will it take Boener and the House Republicans to BEND OVER and surrender on this one?Stinking Republican cowards.
This seems to me to be a 10th ammendment issue: The Tenth Amendment states the Constitution´s principle of federalism by providing that powers not granted to the federal government by the Constitution, nor prohibited to the States, are reserved to the States or the people. If there is a power granted to the federal government, it is certainly not power over guns. In fact, that power is specifically denied. States may control guns, not the federal government. BTW, look how great a job Illinois is doing.
Oh, please, #17! The 10th amendment hasn´t meant squat since 1865. Where have you been?
We are Leonidas."...shall not be infringed" is incapable of parsing.#18: Those who no longer consider the Constitution worth defending [even if only from the contempt others have shown for it] should abandon the field and cede it to those who still have stomach for the fight. And who still respect and value its principles, and for the sacrifices of our forbears.
Unless the 2nd Amendment is repealed by another constitutional amendment, anything they do to curtail the right to keep and bear arms id illegal. Molon Labe.
There you go again Joe! Making promises that you won´t be able to keep...beside low information voters who vote these creeps in, there are a lot of numb skulled politicans who scam away we the People´s money...a fiscal cliff bill with pork in it, for shame, criminals comprise both partys!
#19. you have a long, tough, bloody fight ahead of you if you are going to make the 10th amendment mean what it meant to Americans before 1861. Remember, at that time there were 30 independent, sovereign states united only by the Constitution. Since 1865, there is only one state; The United States which is now composed of 50 de facto provinces. There´s a heap of difference and the 10th amendment has meant nothing Lincoln´s war on those independent, sovereign states turned them into provinces.
I am not a subject and I will not comply. So, with all due respect ( which is zero), no thanks Obama.
They rush through bills at the last minute, in the dark of night. Haven´t we suffered enough from these sneak bills? Obamacare, Fiscal Cliff..ENOUGH.
#17, suggest you look at the intent and history of the 14th amendment. It was originally offered as a bill to only oppose the 2nd amendment on the several states. After debate, it was decided to impose the whole BOR.So, actually, the states don´t get to control guns, just a lot of low information voters seem to think it´s OK for their 2nd amendment right to be trampled because a state legislature does it instead of the feds; not that the feds aren´t stomping on it too. (see 1986 GCA for further details).Also see 97th congress, 2nd session, "The Right To Keep And Bear Arms", Feb 1982,Government Printing Office.You can skip the "Other Views" sections where the libtards throw their out-right lies into the mix. Teddy "U-boat Commander" Kennedy had the printing stopped, I seem to remember, but a federal repository library should have it in the stacks or can get it to loan.

"Chicago" refers to President Barack Obama's campaign headquarters. "Debate" is a reference to Obama's poor performance in Wednesday night's presidential debate.
Here's a look at some of the assertions and responses Friday.
— "Somehow by manipulation of data we are all of a sudden below 8 percent unemployment, a month from the Presidential election. This is Orwellian to say the least ..." said Rep. Allen West, R-Fla.
— "I don't think (the Bureau of Labor Statistics) cooked numbers. I think a bunch of Dems lied about getting jobs. That would have same effect," tweeted Conn Carroll, an editorial writer at the Washington Examiner.
— "If there's anyone who knows about slashing American jobs, it's Jack Welsh. He was the real outsourcing pioneer," said Scott Paul, executive director of Alliance for American Manufacturing
— "Stop with the dumb conspiracy theories. Good grief," said Tony Fratto, who worked for President George W. Bush. He said that the Bureau of Labor Statists is not manipulating data, adding: "I'll be in China in a couple of weeks if you want to see some (asterisk)real(asterisk) economic data manipulation!"
— "It appears that Obama has hired infamous Iraqi Information Minister Baghdad Bob to calculate the unemployment rate.
—"Today's jobs report raises questions for me, and frankly it should be raising eyebrows for people across the country," Rep. Paul Broun, R-M.D. said in a statement.
— Welch "just labeled himself an idiot," said Justin Wolfers, a professor of business and public policy at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Hi, Does anyone have any experience of optimising websites for SEO traffic for different countries? Are there any considerations I should take into account? We are running a large website translated into six languages. We take into account cultural differences during the translation process but I am reviewing if we should be managing SEO differently between the languages/countries. Any thoughts, experiences would be gratefully received. Best regards Richard Avis
The fundamental for on-page optimization can be used across the board for all markets , but for the off-page linking, you need to get from the particular market that will strongly support your link weight. Hosting and local domain is also important to consider as well. For doing the optimization for international market, you can't do just translation , you need to determine the localization strategy in order to attract links which still important for ranking factor.
adding multiple language options in one global website is okie, though to target your services/ products in different countries will surely needs you the country specific websites with the country specific domains hosted on colocated servers, that way you will be achieving the 100% of it, and you will be reaching in no time to them, thanks Jain

Straight from experience
We run our website in 4 countries (France, Germany etc) but have gone with the separate domain, hosting mantra and our SEO is with a country specific strategy
As you know, Google seems to give precedence to websites in a searchers own country. Link building is another question as country specific directories and a number of search engines only accept listings from websites in there own country.
The above strategy is working for us as we are seeing improving positions in the search engines of targeted countries (France, Germany)
From an SEO perspective and with personal experience, I will go with the separate domain for langauges and country focused SEO strategy
I think this thread will benefit from anyone who is using a different strategy and getting results. Getting desired results is the keyword here

Hi Richard,
"Are there any considerations I should take into account?" ...well, yes and no. It basically depends on how "local" you want to get.
Like some other people said, one option is to create localised branches and deal with each one seperately, create a strategy for it, etc etc. This is usually the best option but as you can understand it comes with higher hosting, maintenance, marketing and sales costs.
Another option is to centralise everything and then use technology to look like you are localised. This is usually preferred due to its ease of maintenance and reduced cost while still being able to market yourself locally well enough.
No matter which way you go, the main thing I would suggest is to look at the search patterns and behaviour of the country of area you are targetting. A quality translation is a good start but it won't tell you what most people in a country are searching for, in what way, where, when, and so on. This is something that is part of market or seo research. ..and the way you go about it may also differ from country to country.
Multilingual or multi-country-targetted SEO is a very exciting area, but usually it all comes down to a balance between effectiveness, cost and ease of maintenance,
I hope the above help, but feel free to contact me directly if you'd like to have a chat or if you have any questions.

Poems, photos, rants and raves that are all inevitably me in one form or another.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I was saying tonight how it's difficult to explain my tattoos to people in a simple phrase—all of them possess in-depth explanations that often are too personal to share generally. Of course, there is the risk that one will think you to have a stupid tattoo, but explaining my own personal struggles and difficulties is not appropriate conversation for an acquaintance or a stranger.
Then this breached into the discussion of whether not it should be acceptable for someone to touch or ask about your tattoos. On the one hand, if it is visible, one could argue that the person intended for it to be seen and must deal with the consequences. On the other, no one "asks" for anything based on how they dress or how they wear their makeup (ex, the girl-in-short-skirt rape position). I tend to believe people should not be able to assume they can touch someone's skin or ask them about the meaning, but I will be as nice as possible if and when someone asks me about my tattoos. It's just that assuming that someone should explain their personal form of expression to you seems a little, I don't know, weird.

World Wrestling Entertainment tapped into the mainstream once again.
This time the Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger characters are creating a buzz, especially within the pop culture and political landscape of radio, television and social media.
Colter, the television persona, is an outspoken conservative. He manages the All-American American Swagger, and they discuss the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and illegal immigration during their promos.
Swagger, the bad guy (heel), challenges Mexican-American wrestler Alberto Del Rio, the fan favorite, for the World title at WWE's WrestleMania 29. So to sway the crowd against Swagger even more, WWE introduced Colter, who is former wrestler Dirty Dutch Mantell.
Mantell, a Southerner, served as a manager, too, in the mid 1990s in WWF (now WWE) for the Blu Brothers, two giant twins who later became Don and Ron Harris in TNA Wrestling. Then known as Uncle Zebekiah, he also managed Justin Hawk Bradshaw, who later became JBL, an arrogant capitalist American who also played the illegal immigration card in a feud with then WWE champ Eddie Guerrero, another Mexican-American.
So it's not the first time WWE or pro wrestling brought pop culture, political views and stereotypes into a storyline.
WWE Monday Night Raw commentators Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler joked that Colter and Swagger receive "fan mail" from conservative radio talk show hosts Glenn Beck, Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh.
Though it is a scripted angle on a television show — something WWE's been doing for decades — Beck criticized WWE and its fan base for this latest storyline.
WWE extended an invitation to the talk show host and political commentator to appear live this Monday on Raw (8 p.m. EST, USA Network) in response to the Beck segment that aired on TheBlaze TV on Thursday. According to WWE, in the segment, Beck references WWE as "stupid wrestling people," when criticizing that recent WWE storyline involving Del Rio, Colter and Swagger.
Those fans include authors, actors, artists, athletes from all sports, broadcasters, celebrities, coaches, comedians, doctors, firemen and women, lawyers, media, military, movie and music and television execs, paramedics, police and singers.
WWE fans hail from all walks of life around the world.
WWE is giving Beck the opportunity to address its 14-million weekly viewers and its global fan base, as he believes WWE is offending its "conservative" fans.
WWE Raw is a scripted TV show.
Following Beck's critique, WWE issued a statement on Friday.
"Similar to other television shows and feature films, WWE is in the entertainment business, creating fictional characters that serve as protagonists or antagonists. To create compelling and relevant content for our audience, it is important to incorporate current events into our storylines. WWE is creating a rivalry centered on a topical subject that has varying points of view. This storyline was developed to build the Mexican-American character Del Rio into a hero given WWE's large Latino base, which represents 20 percent of our audience."
For decades, pro wrestling groups utilized pop culture, politics, society and stereotypes in their storylines to generate positive and negative crowd reaction toward their wrestlers.
Basically, there is a good guy and bad one. Although the traditional mantra of wrestling good guy and bad guy changed — especially with the advent of the Attitude Era and the nWo along with earlier turns of rugged wrestlers like Bruiser, Crusher, the Road Warriors and the American Dream Dusty Rhodes — having a bad guy wrestler (heel) badger a good guy wrestler (babyface) by criticizing or mocking his beliefs, culture, family, family heritage and/or manhood is the norm.

Wisconsin Hits Historic Economic Growth
Wisconsin is making historical economic progress as we continue to climb out of the recession. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Wisconsin is ranked second in the nation for economic growth, and number one in the Midwest. We are experiencing the highest growth rate our state has seen over the last 25 years.
The legislature is planning to capitalize on this economic growth by introducing bills to improve the state's workforce training and skills to meet the demands of our growing economy.

... there are some nice benefits of NAND for primary storage, its relatively low capacity leads people to buy secondary mechanical hard-drives with larger capacities. So if the notebook shipped with a 80GB or a 100GB mechanical notebook sized power-saving hard drive as standard, it won't be all that necessary for users to go and buy a 300GB or a 500GB external monster. Even if the external drive the users might buy are much smaller, the power consumption's going to be = (power for NAND flash drive) + (power for external drive), which will most definitely be more than it would be for a single internal standard notebook harddrive.

By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/concussion/DS00320
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury that alters the way your brain functions. Effects are usually temporary, but can include problems with headache, concentration, memory, judgment, balance and coordination.
Although concussions usually are caused by a blow to the head, they can also occur when the head and upper body are violently shaken. These injuries can cause a loss of consciousness, but most concussions do not. Because of this, some people have concussions and don't realize it.
Concussions are common, particularly if you play a contact sport, such as football. But every concussion injures your brain to some extent. This injury needs time and rest to heal properly. Luckily, most concussive traumatic brain injuries are mild, and people usually recover fully.
The signs and symptoms of a concussion can be subtle and may not be immediately apparent. Symptoms can last for days, weeks or even longer.
The most common symptoms after a concussive traumatic brain injury are headache, amnesia and confusion. The amnesia, which may or may not be preceded by a loss of consciousness, almost always involves the loss of memory of the impact that caused the concussion.
Signs and symptoms of a concussion may include:
- Headache or a feeling of pressure in the head
- Temporary loss of consciousness
- Confusion or feeling as if in a fog
- Amnesia surrounding the traumatic event
- Dizziness or "seeing stars"
- Ringing in the ears
- Nausea or vomiting
- Slurred speech
- Fatigue
Some symptoms of concussions may be immediate or delayed in onset by hours or days after injury:
- Concentration and memory complaints
- Irritability and other personality changes
- Sensitivity to light and noise
- Sleep disturbances
- Psychological adjustment problems and depression
- Disorders of taste and smell
Symptoms in children
Head trauma is very common in young children. But concussions can be difficult to recognize in infants and toddlers because they can't readily communicate how they feel. Nonverbal clues of a concussion may include:
- Listlessness, tiring easily
- Irritability, crankiness
- Change in eating or sleeping patterns
- Lack of interest in favorite toys
- Loss of balance, unsteady walking
When to see a doctor
See a doctor within one to two days if:
- You or your child experiences a head injury, even if emergency care isn't required
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that you call your child's doctor for advice if your child receives anything more than a light bump on the head. If your child remains alert, moves normally and responds to you, the injury is probably mild and usually doesn't need further testing. In this case, if your child wants to nap, it's OK to let them sleep. If worrisome signs develop later, seek emergency care.
Seek emergency care for a child who experiences a head injury and:
- Vomiting
- A headache that gets worse over time
- Changes in his or her behavior, including irritability or fussiness
- Changes in physical coordination, including stumbling or clumsiness
- Confusion or disorientation
- Slurred speech or other changes in speech
- Vision or eye disturbances, including pupils that are bigger than normal (dilated pupils) or pupils of unequal sizes
- Changes in breathing pattern
- Lasting or recurrent dizziness
- Blood or fluid discharge from the nose or ears
- Large head bumps or bruises on areas other than the forehead, especially in infants under 12 months of age
Seek emergency care for anyone who experiences a head injury and:
- A loss of consciousness lasting more than a minute
- Repeated vomiting
- Seizures
- Obvious difficulty with mental function or physical coordination
- Symptoms that worsen over time
No one should return to play or vigorous activity while signs or symptoms of a concussion are present. Experts recommend that an athlete with a suspected concussion not return to play until he or she has been medically evaluated. Experts also recommend that child and adolescent athletes with a concussion not return to play on the same day as the injury.
Your brain has the consistency of gelatin. It's cushioned from everyday jolts and bumps by the cerebrospinal fluid that it floats in, inside your skull. A violent blow to your head and neck or upper body can cause your brain to slide back and forth forcefully against the inner wall of your skull. Sudden acceleration or deceleration of the head — resulting from events such as a car crash or being violently shaken (shaken baby syndrome) — also can cause brain injury.
These injuries affect brain function, usually for a brief period, resulting in signs and symptoms of concussion. A brain injury of this sort may even lead to bleeding in or around your brain causing symptoms, such as prolonged drowsiness and confusion, that may develop right away or even later. Such bleeding in your brain can be fatal. That's why anyone who experiences a brain injury needs to be monitored in the hours afterward and receive emergency care if symptoms worsen.
Risk factors
Factors that may increase your risk of a concussion include:
- Participating in a high risk sport, such as football, hockey, soccer or other contact sport; the risk is further increased if there's a lack of proper safety equipment and supervision
- Being involved in a motor vehicle collision
- Being a soldier involved in combat
- Being a victim of physical abuse
- Falling, especially in young children and older adults
- Having had a previous concussion
Potential complications of concussion include:
- Epilepsy. People who have had a concussion double their risk of developing epilepsy within the first five years after the injury.
- Cumulative effects of multiple brain injuries. Evidence exists indicating that people who have had multiple concussive brain injuries over the course of their lives may acquire lasting, and even progressive, cognitive impairment that limits functional ability.
- Second impact syndrome. Sometimes, experiencing a second concussion before signs and symptoms of a first concussion have resolved may result in rapid and typically fatal brain swelling. After a concussion, the levels of brain chemicals are altered. It usually takes about a week for these levels to stabilize again. However, the time it takes to recover from a concussion is variable, and it is important for athletes never to return to sports while they're still experiencing signs and symptoms of concussion.
Preparing for your appointment
It's important for anyone who has a head injury to be evaluated by a doctor within a day or two of the injury, even if emergency care isn't required.
If your child has received a head injury that concerns you, call your child's doctor immediately. Depending on the signs and symptoms, your doctor may recommend seeking immediate medical care.
Here's some information to help you get ready for and make the most of your medical appointment.
What you can do
- Be aware of any pre-appointment restrictions or instructions. The most important thing for you to do while waiting for your appointment is to rest your brain physically — avoid sports or vigorous physical activities — and mentally — minimize difficult, stressful or prolonged mental tasks. At the time you make the appointment, ask if there are any steps you or your child should be following to encourage recovery or prevent re-injury. Experts recommend that athletes not return to play until they have been medically evaluated.
- List any symptoms you or your child have been experiencing, and for how long.
- Write down key medical information, including other medical problems for which you or your child are being treated and any history of previous head injuries. Also write down the names of any medications, vitamins, supplements or other natural remedies you or your child are taking.
- Take a family member or friend along, if you are the one with the head injury. Sometimes it can be difficult to soak up all the information provided to you during an appointment. Someone who accompanies you may remember something that you missed or forgot.
- Write down questions to ask your doctor.
For a concussion, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
- Is it a concussion?
- What kinds of tests are needed?
- What treatment approach do you recommend?
- How soon will symptoms begin to improve?
- What is the risk of future concussions?
- What is the risk of long-term complications?
- When will it be safe to return to competitive sports?
- When will it be safe to resume vigorous exercise?
- Is it safe to return to school or work?
- Is it safe to drive a car or operate power equipment?
- Should a specialist be consulted? What will that cost, and will my insurance cover seeing a specialist? You may need to call your insurance provider for some of these answers.
- Are there any brochures or other printed material that I can take home with me? What websites do you recommend?
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
What to expect from your doctor
Being ready to answer your doctor's questions may reserve time to go over any points you want to talk about in-depth.
You or your child should be prepared to answer the following questions about the injury and related signs and symptoms:
- Do you play contact sports?
- How did you get this injury?
- What symptoms did you experience immediately after the injury?
- Do you remember what happened right before and after the injury?
- Did you lose consciousness after the injury?
- Did you have seizures?
- Have you experienced nausea or vomiting since the injury?
- Have you had a headache? How soon after the injury did it start?
- Have you noticed any difficulty with physical coordination since the injury?
- Have you had any problems with memory or concentration since the injury?
- Have you noticed any sensitivity or problems with your vision and hearing?
- Have you had any mood changes, including irritability, anxiety or depression?
- Have you felt lethargic or easily fatigued since the injury?
- Are you having trouble sleeping or waking from sleep?
- Have you noticed changes in your sense of smell or taste?
- Do you have any dizziness or vertigo?
- What other signs or symptoms are you concerned about?
- Have you had any previous head injuries?
What you can do in the meantime
Rest as much as possible in the time leading up to your appointment. This includes avoiding sports or other physical activities that increase your heart rate, such as prolonged walking, or require vigorous muscle contractions, such as weight lifting. Also, minimize activities that require lots of focused attention — for example, working on the computer, watching TV, texting or playing video games.
If you have a headache, take acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) to ease pain. Avoid taking other pain relievers such as aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) if you suspect you've had a concussion. It's possible that these may increase the risk of bleeding.
Tests and diagnosis
If a blow to your head, neck or upper body has caused symptoms such as a headache, dizziness, nausea or loss of consciousness, you've had a concussion. Signs and symptoms of these injuries may not appear until hours or days after the injury. Brain imaging may be required to determine whether the injury is severe and has caused bleeding or swelling in your skull.
Tests your doctor may perform or recommend include:
Neurological exam
After your doctor asks detailed questions about your injury, he or she may perform a neurological exam. This evaluation includes checking your:
- Memory and concentration
- Vision
- Hearing
- Strength and sensation
- Balance
- Coordination
- Reflexes
Imaging tests
A cranial computerized tomography (CT) scan is the standard test to assess the brain right after injury. A CT scanner takes multiple cross-sectional X-rays and combines all the resulting images to produce detailed, two-dimensional images of your skull and brain. During the procedure, you lie still on a table that slides through a large, doughnut-shaped X-ray machine. The scan is painless and generally takes less than 10 minutes.
Brain imaging isn't always required after a concussive traumatic brain injury. You're more likely to need a scan if you:
- Are an older adult
- Fell from a height of more than 3 feet (1 meter)
- Were hit by a car or ejected from your car seat in a motor vehicle accident
- Are under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Are unable to recall the accident for at least 30 minutes after it occurred
- Have persistent trouble with short-term memory — that is, retaining new information — after you've completely regained consciousness
- Vomited multiple times
- Had a seizure
- Suffered bruises, scrapes or cuts on your head and neck
- Are confused or have any other neurological symptoms, especially if the symptoms are getting worse
You may need to be hospitalized overnight for observation after a concussion. If your doctor says it's OK for you to be observed at home, someone should check on you every few hours for at least 24 hours. You may need to be awakened periodically to make sure you can be roused to normal consciousness.
Treatments and drugs
Rest is the best way to allow your brain to recover from a concussion. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends both physical and mental rest for children. This means avoiding general physical exertion as well as activities that require mental concentration, such as playing video games, watching TV, texting or using a computer. School workloads should also be temporarily reduced.
For headaches, use acetaminophen (Tylenol, others). Avoid other pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and aspirin, as there's a possibility these medications may increase the risk of bleeding.
If you or your child sustained a concussion while playing competitive sports, ask your doctor or your child's doctor when it is safe to return to play. Resuming sports too soon increases the risk of a second concussion and of lasting, potentially fatal brain injury.
No one should return to play or vigorous activity while signs or symptoms of a concussion are present. Experts recommend that children and adolescents not return to play on the same day as the injury.
The following tips may help you to prevent or minimize your risk of head injury:
- Wear appropriate protective gear during sports and other recreational activities. Always use the appropriate protective gear for any sport you or your child undertakes. Make sure the equipment fits properly, is well maintained and worn correctly. Follow the rules of the game and practice good sportsmanship. When bicycling, motorcycling, snowboarding or engaging in any recreational activity that may result in head injury, wear protective headgear.
- Buckle your seat belt. Wearing a seat belt may prevent serious injury, including an injury to your head, during a traffic accident.
- Make your home safe. Keep your home well lit and your floors free of clutter — meaning anything that might cause you to trip and fall. Falls around the home are the leading cause of head injury for infants, toddlers and older adults.
- Protect your children. To help lessen the risk of head injuries to your children, pad countertops and edges of tables, block off stairways and install window guards. Don't let your children play sports that aren't suitable for their ages.
- Use caution in and around swimming areas. Don't dive into water less than 9 feet (3 meters) deep. Read and follow posted safety rules at water parks and swimming pools.
- Wear sensible shoes. If you're older, wear shoes that are easy to walk and maneuver in. Avoid wearing high heels, sandals with thin straps, or shoes that are either too slippery or too sticky.

State Board of Education President Debe Terhar said she was not comparing President Barack Obama
to Adolf Hitler when she posted a photograph of the Nazi leader on her Facebook page with a message
critical of the administration's new gun-control efforts.
But she does say we "need to step back and think about it and look at history" to see that
tyrants have disarmed their citizens.
Terhar, a Cincinnati Republican elected last week by the 19-member school board to a second
term as its president, recently posted the picture with this commentary: "Never forget what this
tyrant said: 'To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens.' — Adolf Hitler."
The photograph apparently originated with the Facebook page of Uncle Sam's Misguided
Children, which features a variety of anti-Obama, pro-gun posts and photos, such as scantily clad
women hoisting large guns, a polar bear with the words "Holy f*** I'm glad I'm white," and another
saying "Where's Lee Harvey Oswalt when you need him?"
A few have made the Obama-to-Hitler comparison since the president proposed restricting gun
rights in the wake of last month's shooting in a Connecticut elementary school that left 20
children and six adults dead. Similar comparisons were made during the 2009 health-care debate.
Terhar, whose posts are visible only to her Facebook friends, said those who know her would
understand that she is encouraging people to examine history as the country debates restricting gun
rights. But "Someone who doesn't know me could possibly misunderstand what my intent was."
"I'm not comparing the president to Adolf Hitler," she said. "It's the thought of disarming
citizens, and this has happened throughout history. What's the true intention of the Second
Amendment? It was to protect us from a tyrannical government, God forbid."
Terhar said she believes schools should have armed guards to protect students in case
violence erupts, but that decision should be left to local school boards. The state board has not
taken a position on guns and student safety in the wake of the Connecticut massacre.
"Schools are gun-free zones. If you have someone who is bent on causing harm, where are they
going to go? To a place where there is little chance of resistance," Terhar said. "It comes down to
protecting ourselves and protecting our kids."
Still, she said, "There are a number of people who don't want armed guards, so it should be a
local decision."
In March, the state board plans to hold a public hearing on school safety. Terhar said the
panel will hear from school officials about their safety plans and consider the options districts
have for protecting students.

Origins News Round-up for December 6, 2013
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"We were (mostly) prepared for the academic arguments but not necessarily the thing many fear in this discussion: personal conflict."
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
Having won an ECF grant, Cara Wall-Scheffler, biological anthropologist at Seattle Pacific University, and I are now planning to host a group of 18 young Christian paleobiologists for a week-long seminar during late June, 2014. Our seminar will include guest lectures by scientists, historians, and pastors who all have an interest in discussing bridging faith and science 'gaps.'
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
As Christians we believe by faith that Christ was both human and divine, and although this paradox can be difficult to comprehend, it is not a stumbling block to our faith nor does it hinder us from having a relationship with him. Similarly, the Bible is both human and divine.
This week in the news: a new conversation about rifts in the Christian church (sponsored by the Colossian Forum), a 46-million-year-old fossilized mosquito turns up in a Montana lake, and more…
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
"But for me, personally, it was the notes from everyday Christians that left an impact: The stories of students who felt forced (and wrongly so) to choose between their faith and reason, the stories of parents concerned their precocious young sons and daughters will have their love for science questioned by fellow Christians, and the stories of faith lost and found again through prayer and reading."
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
When we understand the Gospel message, everything changes (or should change) in how we interact with others. We recognize that we can no longer feel superior to others because our good works get us no closer to salvation than the misdeeds of the wicked, as all of humanity falls short of God's glory.
Zoologist Steve Roels shares a summary of his experiences listening and talking with the scientists in attendance at the Third World Summit on Evolution and also offers a reflective essay and poem about evolution, psalms of praise, Darwin, and the islands that so inspired him.
We are often offended that God should have to accomplish anything in steps, as though that made him less divine and all-powerful. But engaging a child can be a fruitful remedy for the biases that have been woven into the fabric of our thinking over time.
Its questionable treatment of science and scientists—with an attack mindset and a goal to make scientists look stupid—causes me to advise extreme caution. Bluntly, I see this video as counter to our evangelistic mission.
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
"Many homeschool parents contact me or show up at my office and quietly say, 'Is there anything besides Young Earth Creationists?'"
… whatever their reason for homeschooling, evangelical families who embrace modern science are becoming more vocal about it—and are facing the inevitable criticism that comes with that choice.
When Christians discuss creation, evolution, and design, it is easy to focus immediately on areas of controversy and disagreement. We think it is important to start by pointing out certain areas on which nearly all Christians agree.
This series discusses the importance of unity among Christ's believers. Ross Hastings, an expert in the areas of both chemistry and pastoral theology, is eager to see the church seek out unity rather than divisions in this science/faith interface. Unpacking Ephesians 4:1-6, he explains that unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit is the primary concern of both Jesus as seen in John 17 and Paul in Ephesians 4, making this matter pressing. He urges all believers to be in agreement that God indeed created, yet to be in dialogue over how that creative process occurred.
