The Partisan Fight Over Consumer Protection
By editor
This week, the Senate blocked the confirmation of Richard Cordray, the former Ohio attorney general chosen by President Obama to lead the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. It boils down to yet another partisan fight: Republicans say the agency has too much power, and the White House says they won't weaken an agency that is supposed to protect consumers. Host Scott Simon talks with Joe Nocera, an op-ed columnist for The New York Times.

I love this product. I was looking for something simple and something that made sounds, but only when baby flushes the toilet not when he goes. This potty chair is durable and cute and makes a little flushing sound with elmo talking. Love it! Plus it doesn't and won't ever smell bad like some of the soft seated ones do. It is also very easy to clean!

Cute potty. Trying to get my daughter potty trained, but she wiggles around like the seat is hurting her little bottom. After sitting for about 5 mins or so, when she gets up her little bottom is red. Hoping there is a soft cusion that I can put over the seat... if not, I don't think potty training is going to be successful using this Elmo potty chair :(

Not a fit for my little one
By dfunches
from Dallas, TX
About Me Parent of Two or More Children
Comments about Kolcraft 1001151 Sesame Street Elmo Adventure Potty Chair:
This product is a great concept. However, the cup (for boys) is too short and the flusher ended up being a distraction for my little one everytime he sat on the potty. He spent 75% of potty time turned sideways playing with the flusher. I am giving the item 3 stars because the cup, in my opinion, is too short.

I like that there is a flush handle and it actually makes noise for your toddler. It makes going to the potty a fun experience instead of work.

My daughter loves the Elmo potty. The potty makes a real flushing sound which she loves. It's small and easy store. Doesn't move around the house as easily since the pieces come apart but for having it in one place it works great. Now I just need to get her potty trained!
So cute!
By Sarina T

This potty trainers is so cute, esp if your child is an Elmo lover! Right now it's his favorite "toy" but we're working on the potty training part still... The flushing noises are a nice effect.

Fun way to help the kid to make the transition to a real toilet
So cute!!
By Busy mom of two boys
from Roanoke Va
The potty is adorable and resembles a real toilet. Cute design and love the sounds. The only thing I would change about it is making it a tad bit bigger. My almost two year old has a hard time sitting and getting comfortable on it and the front could be raised a little higher for boys.
Must buy for Elmo lovers!
By Mommy
from Redwood City, CA
This product is awesome because of Elmo. My little one is in love with Elmo right now and she sits on her potty every time mommy does or when she remembers its there. Unfortunately, there's not much to it except the removable seat to use on adult toilets afterwords but I wouldn't use it. I also like the fact that you can purchase the book and movie to go with the Elmo potty training. I just wish it all was sold together for the same price!

On your average day, the Wausau airport is usually pretty tame and low-key. But if you're expecting to see such an atmosphere this weekend, think again.
Wausau's Balloon Rally and Glow event will have people of all ages watching as hot air balloons are sent high into the skies. Hand Crafted Furniture Owner Steve Woller says it's the biggest event in the area, with the best fireworks, and most unique balloon around, Wally.
Although Wally looks like a fish, it more than doubles the size of his other balloons and looks more like Nemo from the Disney film. However, since the name Nemo was trademarked, he thought he'd stick to the character theme and give the stellar balloon a similarly themed name.
Woller started the business after going for his first ride years ago, seeing that it was a great way to advertise for his business and moreover, would be a job he'd never really consider a job per se.
He says he remembers his first year hosting the rally, getting the word out and drawing in the community.
Those days are long gone now; Wausau city events has taken over the Balloon Rally and Glow event which allows Woller to focus more solely on balloon set-up and operation, something that's an intense task in and of itself.
The first launches take off tonight at 6 p.m. at the Wausau airport. Pig racing, a petting zoo, pony rides and live music will also be at the event. For more information you can visit the event's website at wausauballoonrally.com.

Baby on Board: Jogging Strollersby Tracy Teare Jogging strollers—those funky three-wheelers you see whizzing about with baby on board—are practically standard issue for moms and dads who want to stay active. "I couldn't always get to the gym, but I was always able to get exercise with our Baby Jogger," says Victoria, a mother of two daughters. She jogs with the stroller on weekdays and takes it to the beach or to trails at a nearby state park on the weekends. "The fresh air is great for all of us," says Victoria. Fresh air is only one of many benefits of hitting the road. During the postpartum period, exercise helps increase energy levels, while improving cholesterol levels, insulin response, and overall well-being. With a minimal design that consists of metal tubing, canvas seats, and mini-bicycle-style wheels, they are lightweight and a breeze to push and maneuver. Originally designed to accommodate runners, jogging strollers are built with plenty of leg room, so they will not hinder your stride. Not feeling fleet of foot? Running is optional; walkers enjoy the ease-of-use just as much, though in-line skating is a no-no. SizeYou can find joggers to accommodate one, two, or even three little ones. Most jogging strollers have a weight limit of about 75 pounds, which means you can bring your child along until about age four. CostOn the downside, jogging strollers are bigger than your average stroller, making them more cumbersome to store and transport. They're also pricey. Expect to pay $300 or more for a single model. Mini jogging-strollers are less expensive, but there are tradeoffs: small overall size and 12" wheels mean a bumpier ride and less room for baby. Some stroller companies also offer less expensive three-wheelers, but they are not necessarily intended for jogging. Plastic materials and small wheels keep the price down, but they result in a less durable and less comfortable vehicle for pusher and passenger. What to Look ForNot all jogging strollers are created equal. When choosing a jogging stroller, look for these features:
Before you buy, take the stroller for a test drive. Borrow a stroller from a friend to try it out, or jog around the store to make sure the stroller is a good fit for you and for baby. SafetyBefore you hit the road, take a few simple precautions to make sure your precious cargo stays safe. Babies gain control of their head around six months of age. This is a good time to go for a spin. Very young passengers will appreciate reclining seats, and a rolled towel or car seat neck roll for head support. Use the tether, a simple strap to loop around your wrist, in case of a runaway stroller. As your child gets bigger, make sure little hands can't reach the wheels where they could get rubbed or snagged in the spokes. Look for ASTM International certification to ensure that the stroller meets the most rigorous standard set by the jogging stroller industry. However, ASTM testing is not required by law, so not all manufacturers participate. You can also access safety and manufacturer recall information from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission website.

Graduate Program of Study: Psychology
Degree: PhD
Graduation Date: August 2012
Areas of Research: Social Health Psychology, Health Behavior, Physical Activity, Nutrition, Health Communication
Hometown: Cobourg, Ontario, Canada
Current Employment: Keystone College, Assistant Professor of Psychology
Health and wellness has always been a fundamental part of Kristel Gallagher's life. In fact, Kristel's passion for health promotion inspired her to pursue a career as a social health psychologist and teacher. Attaining a PhD in psychology at Kent State University gave her the ability to achieve her dreams of making a difference in students' lives. Kent State provided Kristel an opportunity to develop as a scholar and teacher as well as collaborate and work with her advisor, Dr. John Updegraff, which she could not pass up.
Continuing to grow, learn, excel as a teacher and mentor is Kristel's future aspiration. "I believe it is my time to 'pay forward' the good fortune I have had and become the person who can help others find their path. I don't know how else to thank all the people in my life who helped me become so successful except by returning the favor to my own students,†she exclaimed.
Kristel feels Kent State prepared her well for her current position at Keystone College. Her graduate experience taught Kristel the importance of balancing teaching and research, which is essential for her current assistant professor position. As a student, Kristel successfully balanced her academics with campus student leadership. Specifically, while at Kent State, Kristel was a teaching fellow for Graduate Student Orientation (GSO); her role as a GSO leader has afforded her an opportunity to work closely and help incoming graduate students transition to graduate student life at Kent State. Kristel also published several times in peer-reviewed journals, and she is recognized as one of the best graduate teaching instructors not only within the Department of Psychology, but also the entire university.
Kristel credits her mentor, Dr. John Updegraff, for his support. "Dr. Updegraff not only developed me as a scholar in our field, he also helped me develop into a caring, compassionate, and respectful mentor now that I am an assistant professor. He sought to understand me as a whole person-a feature I think made our relationship so productive and satisfying and one that I hope I can use just as successfully throughout my career.â€
During her spare time, Kristel enjoys running and volunteering as a coach for an afterschool program Girls on the Run, which is a transformational learning program that teaches life skills for young girls. She wishes to provide the following advice for new Kent State graduate students: "Graduate school is a marathon, not a sprint, so set your pace accordingly. Don't spend time worrying about what others are doing or where others are in their journey. The race is long, and in the end, the only standards you need to worry about living up to are the ones you set for yourself. Have faith in your abilities and know that the mountains in the distance can only be climbed by taking one step at a time!â€

When considered against the backdrop of eternity the period between our birth and our death is the shortest of trajectories. From the moment we first feel the smack of life to that moment when we re-enter the deep, black pool is but one breath. We are no sooner aloft than we begin to feel gravity's inevitable pull. We hang there but for a second in all our twisting glory. We feel the air on our bodies, our cold eye snatches at the light. We turn a little, as if on a spit. Then we start to fall.—

Crust without special tools?
January 14, 2005, 03:11:46 PM »
Hi Everybody,
I'm dying to make my own thin crust pizza but I noticed a lot of recipes require special dough hooks, pizza stones, etc. Unfortunately, I'm on a fixed budget (which is pretty much why I make my own pizza, lol) and wanted to know, are there alternatives to these fancy, new fangled objects?
Thanks so much and sorry if it's a stupid question. I'm just a newbie {{{smiles sheepishly}}}

Your question is a good one. Not everyone has all the fancy equipment that experienced home pizza makers usually end up accumulating with time. Most of us started simply and worked our way up as we gained experience and had more money to devote to the hobby. I believe it was Confucius who said that "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Without equipment, like a stand mixer, food processor or even a bread machine, you are pretty much relegated to hand kneading. All-purpose and bread flours can be kneaded that way but it gets harder to do with high-gluten flours, which you are unlikely to find in any event in the food stores where you regularly shop. With a suitable dough recipe, you should be able to make a NY style pizza with a thin crust using a good bread flour. The best bread flour from my experience is the King Arthur brand. It is sold in some supermarkets and specialty food stores, but if you can't find it where you shop there are other brands, like Pillsbury and Gold Medal, that should work for your purposes and budget.
For baking the pizza, you should perhaps invest in a pizza screen. They come in all sizes. If you want to make the largest size that your oven is likely to handle, then I would go with the 16-inch size. Otherwise, I would look at 12- or 14-inch screens. Or you can get several screens of different sizes. With a pizza screen, you don't need a pizza stone. If you don't know what a screen looks like, go to Reply #130 at
. Screens are very inexpensive--typically only a few dollars apiece. You might be able to find them at a local restaurant supply store that carries pizza items, or you can go online to any number of places to buy them. If you need a link or two to places that sell them online, let us know.
In lieu of using pizza screens, you can also consider using tiles as a much lower cost alternative to a pizza stone. Tiles are very inexpensive and are widely available at places like Home Depot or Lowes. You want the red unglazed quarry tiles that are safe for baking. If you go the tiles route you may also want to invest in a pizza peel (if you don't already have one) to get your pizza onto and off of the tiles. The peel also comes in handy in removing pizzas baked on a screen from the oven. I would look for a wooden peel for now. The places that sell pizza screens also usually carry pizza peels. They usually sell for less than $20.
Good luck.

Peter has given you some good information.
I will add a little more if the budget is real tight.
We started with the Pillsbury pizza dough from the grocery store.
For a thin crust it is not bad and it works on a cookie sheet.
for cheese shread your own Poly-O partskim
For tomatoes use 6in1 crushed tomatoes.
The rest is up to you.
For a budget it is not a bad way to go.

Randy's post reminded me of a couple of other possibilities that might be considered as you determine how far you want to proceed with making your own doughs. Many members of this forum have reported in the past that they were able to buy pizza dough of high quality from local pizza operators, for around $1 a ball. When I was in Massachusetts recently I also saw that a local supermarket chain, Stop and Shop, now sells pizza dough in a plastic bag, for around $1.29. In that instance the flour used was all-purpose flour but it represents an easy way to start making pizzas at reasonably low cost.

Anyone try making crust with this Cuisinart mini food processor?
Seems more cost effective at around $30, but I'm guessing it may not have the guts or capacity (21 oz) to do crust. Also, I know that my mom as said she rarley uses her larger processor now that she has a small model.

I have never read that such a unit can be used to make pizza dough. It's conceivable I suppose that you could make a single, small dough ball using a soft, low-gluten flour, e.g., for a small Neapolitan-style pizza, but you would never be able to make much beyond that without running the risk of overpowering the unit and damaging it. I personally wouldn't risk using the mini-unit to make dough.
I personally have a 14-cup Cusinart unit and even it can struggle a bit if I try to make too much dough at one time. If I have to make several dough balls of any decent size, I do them individually. I have given the newer 11-cup model as gifts and it works reasonably well for modest amounts of dough. The newer model also has a special dough cycle that is said to do a better job with kneading dough.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'thin' crust, but a Neapolitan dough, with out any fancy equipment, though I would recommend a screen. Great thing about it is you can make enoght for upto six dough balls and store them in the fidge in a ziplock bag for upto 3 days and the freezer for about month.

Never mind this. I just looked up short selling and I understand the process now. Thanks for your explanation. I read that some guy shorted a lot of banks right before the housing mortgage debacle and he made billions.Ok, I am still confused. How much money are you putting up to start this process?

You can short with any amount. There are guidelines if the stock goes up too much you have to add more money in or the brokerage will sell it. Another great way to leverage bets is to use a Margin Account. You are borrowing from the brokerage and using your stock as security. They will give you up to 50% of the fair market value of the equity.
Facebook is a great buy here. It will go over 30 bucks with no problem.

Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh
The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE) was established in the 17th century. While the RCPE is based in Edinburgh, it is not solely a Scottish professional body - more than half of its 7,700 Fellows, Members, Associates and Affiliates live and practice medicine outside Scotland, in 86 countries and covering 55 specialties.
The twenty-one founding Fellows of the College, (one of whom was Dr William Lauder (1652-1724), brother of John Lauder, Lord Fountainhall), were concerned not only with the advancement of medicine as a reputable science, but also with alleviating the miseries of Edinburgh's poor and needy.
Current activities[edit]
The College acts in an advisory capacity to government and other organisations on many aspects of health, welfare and medical education.
Following successful completion of the MRCP(UK) examination, doctors are eligible to become Members and, in time, Fellows of the College.
The College was instrumental in founding the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary in 1729 and, over the years, has influenced the development of medical schools in North America, Australasia, Asia and Africa.
There is a separate Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
The building is located on Queen Street in Edinburgh. Three figures stand above the entrance. These are: Aesculapius, the Greek god of medicine and healing (left); Hygieia, Greek god of cleanliness (centre/top); and Hippocrates, with the hypocratic oath (right).[1][2] The RCPE building, located at 9 Queen Street, was designed by the Edinburgh architect Thomas Hamilton, and was built between 1844 and 1846. In 1868 the College purchased the adjacent building at 8 Queen Street, which had been built by the renowned and influential Edinburgh architect Robert Adam in 1771. The Physicians Hall, as the conjoined buildings are now collectively known, is a superb example of eighteenth century architecture; both the exterior and interior are extremely well preserved despite modernization.[3]

Meet the Mona Lisa of the Prado, the earliest known copy of Da Vinci's best portrait. Similarity in the undersketch of the painting indicates that this was very likely painted concurrently with the original Mona Lisa, by a student of Da Vinci.
There is much controversy in the art world over the question of whether or not to clean the fragile Mona Lisa, but her sister has been restored and some fairly odd later alterations removed to show the original vibrant colors and lighting. Some details, such as the sheerness of her shawl and the pattern on the neckline of her dress, have become utterly obscured in the original, but in the restored copy they're perfectly clear.
It blows my mind a little bit to look at these two sisters side-by-side and imagine how much vivid detail could be hiding in the Mona Lisa under 500 years of rotten varnish.
NEW YORK — A New York attorney on Thursday said the life of a murdered transgender woman wasn't worth the same punishment as if his client had killed someone "in the higher end of the community."Piece of scum attorney.
My blood is fucking boiling.The attorney and whomever that scum is defending are the worthless ones
All right, listen up, Tumblr. This is one of the few times I'll actually give a social commentary, so here we go. When you're a lawyer, your job is to fight for your client. No questions asked. You make whatever argument you can. You verbally rip apart people on the stand when they side against you. You say whatever you need to. Do I think this murderer is a piece of scum? Yes. Do I think his lawyer is probably a piece of scum too? Yes. But this has to be said. When you're a lawyer, sometimes you're forced to do dirty work. Because at the end of the day, if people stop fighting for the guilty ones, sooner or later, there's no one to fight for the innocent ones either. You got a problem with that? Don't be a lawyer. Problem solved. Does what this lawyer said suck? Yes. But it wasn't your friend or family member that got murdered and it's not years of your freedom on the line, so kindly fuck off. This lawyer's job is probably hard enough as it is.
You're fucking awful. Kindly fuck off
He said she was less than human.
What does that have to do with his job at all.
How does that make the murderer any less guilty?
I am a lawyer. (Disclaimer: I am not your lawyer. Consult a lawyer in your own state for anything that affects your rights.)
What this scumbag said does not fall under the ambit of zealous representation.
Arguments made to a court have to have a basis in law or a reasonable argument for reversing existing law and/or making new law. (I'm paraphrasing.)
There is no basis in law to argue that the murder laws do not or should not apply to transgender women or sex workers because of what kind of people they are or because their lives are somehow less valuable. None. Zero. Nada.
If I were that judge, I'd have reported the attorney for a Rule 11* violation for even making that argument, and be looking into my state's rules of professional conduct to see what else he might have violated by doing so. In my state, even without a provision specifically protecting people on the basis of gender identity, I would be comfortable making the argument that this lawyer's conduct was prejudicial to the administration of justice as a knowing manifestation of bias or prejudice based on sex. See TNRPC 8.4(d) and Comment 3 thereto.
Attorneys get enough shit for legitimate zealous representation issues without muddying the water as if every argument an attorney makes is ok because of zealous representation. It is not. This is not ok.
Also, if the commenter who posted that is a lawyer, they need to take a few more PR CLEs, because zealous representation does not and has never meant "you say whatever you need to." Doing so violates Rule 11, shows a lack of candor toward the tribunal, and contributes to the degradation of the profession.
Does zealous representation mean we sometimes have to do things that seem unfair - hell, that are unfair? Yep. I can't give a specific example because of my own professional limitations, but even in the short time I have been practicing law I have had to make arguments based on existing law that I know is unfair.
Does zealous representation extend to making an argument that a human being wasn't really a person worthy of protection of the laws against violence because of who they were or what job they did? No, I can't think of a set of facts where that would be true even in a PR hypothetical for students, much less real life. To make a Rule 11-compliant argument, the lawyer would need a cogent and reasoned analysis as to why the Fourteenth Amendment doesn't apply to this victim such that they should be exempted from the protection of the laws against murder. "Because bigotry" is not such an argument. Again, I can't think of any argument that would pass Rule 11 to get around equal protection of the laws against murder because of the status of the victim.
This is not just a "oh, popelizbet is a dang hippie lawyer" argument, either. Prominent law bloggers with many more years of service than I, whose politics barely brush mine, are condemning this. This kind of hateful garbage brings disrepute on our profession because it is morally wrong to make these kinds of arguments. Scummy lawyers get away with enough fuckery without people excusing things they do that are inexcusable based on their complete misunderstanding of what zealous representation actually is.
*Some states may not designate the rule with this rule number, but in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 11 is, in part, the rule against making arguments to the court that are not supported in law or do not advance a colorable argument to change existing law. A similar Rule exists in the Rules of Criminal Procedure. To my knowledge, every state has adopted this portion of the Federal Rules.
Reblogging for the commentary. I've seen people use this "Lawyers have to say horrible things to get their clients off" argument quite a lot. Glad to see its more or less a fallacy.

Nearly 50 years ago, a roadside attraction on Highway 54 delighted Osage Beach visitors with "beautiful girls that live like fish".
The Aqua Rama underwater mermaid show featured women dressed in fishtails performing in a 85,000 gallon pool with a large glass window.
Amazed audiences got to watch the underwater world of the Aquamaids and Aqualads.
A Portland, Oregon couple held an Aqua Rama reunion to remember the underwater shows from the past.
Reunion Organizer Jeff Kunkle said, "Here we are still tracking everyone down and calling them out of the blue. We're asking people if they were a mermaid in 1964. After a moment of stunned silence, we get to hear great stories."
Wally and Nola Johl opened the underwater mermaid show at Lake of the Ozarks in 1964.
The underwater theater closed in 1973.

BOZEMAN - A man accused of stealing a woman's purse in a Belgrade grocery store parking lot then leading authorities on a high-speed chase along Interstate 90 over the summer was sentenced today.
Kenneth Lohman was found guilty of theft in the case. He was sentenced to six months in jail with credit for 205 days already served. Lohman's attorney explained that he had already surpassed the six-month sentence by a few weeks. Lohman must also pay more than $1,500 in restitution.
Judge Holly Brown said during sentencing that Lohman's actions have physiologically and emotionally damaged the 67-year-old victim whose purse he stole.
"A small act of illegal and unthinking behavior by Mr. Lohman in a few seconds, one or two seconds, has made an impact on (this woman) for the rest of her life," Brown said.
Lohman and another man, Joshua Bolton, were both arrested after the July incident.
"A small act of illegal and unthinking behavior by Mr. Lohman in a few seconds, one or two seconds, has made an impact on (this woman) for the rest of her life," Brown said.
At around 2:44 p.m. Sunday, July 15, Belgrade police were called to the Belgrade Albertson's where an elderly woman said she had been knocked to the ground in the parking lot by a man who stole her purse. The woman said the man took the purse out of her cart then got into the passenger side of a car. She said she reached into the car trying to get her purse back when the vehicle accelerated with her arm still inside and she was knocked to the ground, according to court documents.
Soon after, a Montana Highway Patrol trooper spotted a vehicle matching the car's description on Interstate 90 near Three Forks, but when he tried to stop the vehicle it fled at a high rate of speed and a pursuit ensued, court papers state.
Troopers pursued the vehicle and located it near Cardwell at which point it reportedly crossed the median and began traveling westbound in the eastbound lane. Troopers lost track of the vehicle but later found it parked on the roadside on Cottonwood Road.
When they found the vehicle, Lohman and a juvenile female passenger were taken into custody, but Bolton got out of the car with a knife, then dropped it and fled, court papers state.
Troopers from Montana Highway Patrol and deputies from Gallatin, Broadwater and Jefferson county sheriff's departments searched for the driver. Bolton was later found with the help of a helicopter and K-9 unit, hiding under a nearby residence, according to authorities.

City folds like a cheap tent. Score Unions 25 vs City Taxpayers 4.4%.
Budget passes 4 to 1 with Commissioner of Accounts John Franck voting No. Calls budget unsustainable.
With the city faces a 5% tax increase and the unions giving the city a collective Fuck You
Saratoga Springs DPW Commissioner Anthony "Skip" Scirocco declares DPW Office Supervisor and President of the City Hall unit of CSEA union Kathy Moran (2009 salary $62,258) makes the DPW budget.
The shocking truth is that, by definition, and clearly stated in NYS Labor Law, the fact that she is an office supervisor and now does the DPW budget clearly makes her MANAGEMENT. She thus is ineligible to be Union, let alone the Union BOSS!
We all new Skippy was a little light in the brain Dept and now by his own admission in his words not mine, he has a women who is hostile to the City and its taxpayers and who has filed numerous lawsuits against her employer running his Department.
CSEA drags city into court HERE
She also has sued the City over her right to have a Mammogram and not use personal time, sick time or vacation time. She wanted as always for the city to pick up the tab.
No wonder Skip doesn't think he can cut personnel! No wonder he wants to hire more people! Ms. Moran is running DPW!

A mere two days ago we EcoGeeks reported on a refined method of converting plain old coal into diesel motor fuel. Now, struggling to maintain a straight face, we point to an even better raw feedstock for the production of non-petroleum truck energy: {mosimage}
Yep, according to this article on vnagency.com a crafty and determined Vietnamese innovator has successfully developed a method of producing diesel fuel using the oil and offal from catfish. Evidently the quarter million tons of catfish generated in the Mekong Delta each year are now yielding the handy co-product of 30,000 tons of diesel fuel, at least some of which is actively being used to operate a brick making plant.
We have no way to confirm any of what is reported in this story, and it's scant on details to be sure. But we like the idea. Real bio-diesel is a good thing, and this article attests to the ability of human ingenuity to think our way out of the ridiculous petro-addiction we modern societies are suffering.
Imagine, catfish as the new source of global transportation energy, fueling our trucks, cars, and trains. The South could rise again! I dream of a day, after Peak Oil has come and gone, when impoverished Middle Eastern Mullahs, look on in nostalgic envy as the Southern U.S. states assume their rightful place as the source of a globally critical energy reserve:

Football recruiting heating up
NC State landed a verbal football commitment today from another true scholar-athlete that represents the kind of 'Champion' in the classroom and on the field to which Coach O'Brien often refers. You can click here for more about Marcus Edmund
He recently received football scholarship offers from Arizona, Wake Forest, and North Carolina State, and more might be in the pipeline for the cornerback as his senior season approaches.
Edmond is rated as the top football prospect in the Midlands by scvarsity.com publisher Jim Baxter.
"It feels great, to know some of the options I have already,†Edmond said. "I just work hard and my parents push me to try at everything. It's great to see that paying off.â€
Edmond improved his stock as he played quarterback and cornerback this past season.
"He came in and did a great job and had a great season on both sides of the ball, and has a chance to do it again next year, only with bigger expectations,†Farmer said.
Edmond followed his junior season on the football field by hitting the basketball court as a guard for the Lower State finalist Diamond Hornets. He also competed in the track and field state finals in the 400-, 800- and the 1,600-meter relay.
"But football has always been my main sport and my favorite, and I'm going to be working even harder to improve over the summer,†Edmond said.
Edmond, who plans to study engineering, said he will choose a program based on the academic possibilities.
By most accounts, the Wolfpack currently has approximately nine verbal commitments for the 2013 class, having picked up three commits last week that are discussed here.
12 Responses to "Football recruiting heating up"
I'm still pretty disappointed in our recruiting. We have a few nice pieces, but most are just average recruits. Many have minimal scholarship offers from the big schools, and have only recently been offered a scholarship by State.
That tells me we have "missed" on all the recruits that we offered over the last year, and don't have any hope of getting any of them.
While I'm sure that some of these players will turn into useful contributors, if we want to build "quality" depth, we must get a higher caliber of player, and that just does not seem to be happening.
Maybe this is ok, if our only goal is to win 7 games every year. If we want to win championships, we need to up the level of player we are getting, or hoping that we hit the jackpot with a boat load of "sleepers".
sundropdrinker13, TOB is considered to be one of the best evaluaters? Really? Then why is he always stuck around 7-8 wins? This includes stops at BC and now State? If he was so good at it, would he not have won a championship by now?
Forget the stars, if no other high-major program is interested in a player, then they are probably not that good. I'm sure of TOB's ability to coach them up, and by the time they are senior's they can contribute to the team.
But that puts a cap on how good that player will ever be for the team, and in turn how good the team will ever be. With 2 1-AA games on our schedule every year, I'm sure we'll still get to the magical 7 wins most years, but is that the ultimate goal?
My belief is that TOB is not capable of building championship caliber teams. I've got 12 or so years of his coaching history to agree with me. Maybe he finds a way to break out and do something magical, but I'm not expecting it.
