And today's SATC sequel tidbit... Which character dies? *gulp*
I cannot believe that I am actually writing this *sigh* but according to the latest whispers, someone in the Sex and the City film sequel might not make it to see the end... NOOOOOOO! But before we get ahead of ourselves here, there were rumours last time ahead of the first film that someone was set to cark it. However, those turned out to be false. A disused storyline perhaps? Nevertheless, movie insiders have claimed that producers, including Sarah Jessica Parker are so keen for the plot of the sequel to be dramatic, that they are considering killing off one of the major characters.
"There is no doubt that a sequel will happen but the producers are very aware that something dramatic has to happen in order to keep the fans captivated," a source revealed to the The Sun.
"There is a very strong possibility that one of the main characters will be killed off but it's not clear who yet. Obviously it's unlikely to be Carrie but any of the others could meet their end. Scripts are already being worked on with various scenarios."
We know that Viv Westwood already has some ideas up her sleeve for the plot. I wonder if any of them included calling in the Grim Reaper? It would definitely put an end to any further sequels or spin-offs. Ugh, I don't even want to think about it.

Google sneaks under standards radar
In stark contrast to Microsoft's recent battle, here and here, to get Open Office XML sanctioned as an international standard, Google has quietly pulled off a standardization coup for its XML-based KML geographic information language with barely a whisper of dissent. The Open Geospatial Consortium recently approved KML as an …
Google's the only one actually getting work done
> Google's dominance of the standardization work at OGC is a concern
Um, if you're the only one actually doing new work in the area, of course you're going to dominate it. People need to STEP UP before they can complain. Thank God for Google, or we'd still be stuck with utter garbage like mapquest.
> OGC represents around 350 organizations involved in online geographical
> information technology and services.
So what are these people doing? Sitting on their thumbs, obviously.
Er, yeah. While you could plausibly call Office documents a de facto standard, the same doesn't apply (yet, and probably not for quite some time, if ever) to OXML.
So long as it's an open standard
The entire point of OOXML is/was that it is NOT an open standard. It requires a legal "promise" from Microsoft to allow third parties to develop applications that use it.
I have not read the Google "standard" for KML; however, I'm assuming that the lack of massive backlash to it means that it is relatively clean.
Also, to the first-post AC: you've hit the mark there. The world of GIS experts is a very small one, with one company - ESRI - the true dominant player in the industry. Google is really a user of the raw data collected an correlated by ESRI and a few other companies, making this more a case of the 600 pound gorilla standing on the bank of the river shouting at the 400 pound alligator. As long as the gorilla eats bananas and throws raw chickens and lawyers into the river, the alligator really doesn't care what the gorilla does on land...
Google fan-bois?
Is there such a thing as a Google fan boy?
Oh wait, the first poster answered that already...
Here is a thought...
I keep reading about the wonderful working environment at Google offices. So, I thought perhaps that should be a de-facto industry standard.
Come on, Phil, you're stretching.
Since when has Google locked in users as gravely as Microsoft has to sell their software or service? And how many people have complaints against Google services, as Microsoft has had with Office?
When they start obfuscating formats, locking-in users, and writing crap software, we can start complaining.
Not yet, I'm afraid...
Microsoft - defacto standard?
That's funny, I could have sworn there already was a standard in office documents ... That's right! ODF!
Open office and Google back this standard, and wouldn't you know it .... it works.
It's seems unfair to compare Google to Microsoft, becuase Google, as a previous user commented, is doing most of the work, whereas microsoft is trying to push a standard on top of a pre-existing one that is quite comprehensive.
Limitations of KML
I'm not sure what the limitations of KML are based on the linked URL. What that page describes is the limitations of an implementation of a application which uses the specification - nothing linked to any limitations of the specification itself except the fact it uses a single map projection - not exactly "shocking" and certainly changeable if ever desired.
Now, I'll be the first to say Google isn't the "great, do-gooding" company it sometimes likes to pretend it is, but to claim this is at all like Microsof's OOXML application would certainly be pushing the boat out. Did you even understand why many open source people weren't happy with OOXML?
@Nicholas Moore
Agreed, but the one criticism on the linked URL -- "Note that KML by specification uses only a single projection, EPSG:4326" -- is a major one.
Unfair comparison
This not at all like the (O)OXML debate!
MS is trying to push through another 'open' office document standard where one previously exists and is actively used (ODF).
The KML format has been standardised as there is no alternative. Setting a standard where there isn't one is in no way comparable to forcing through a competing, unimplemented standard to one which already exists.
Shame on your el Reg!
The diffenrence is:-
The google standard is a claer open (perhaps a little limited) way of specfiying geographical information. The spac is readbale and can be used by anyone wishing to excahnge such information without any refernce to google or using any google software.
Much like microsofts DHCP or SOAP standards in fact.
The problem with OOXM is that is clearly an attempt preserve microsofts near monopoly on Word Processor documents. The standard is not open or readable and as large chucks effectively say "do what Word version 3.7 revision 213 does" only microsoft can actually implement the standard or even decide if a document complies with the standard.
Now the whole point of the competing standard, OSF, is to destroy Microsfots near monopoly. Once something is an ISO standard official bodies like national, regional and local governments, international organisations such as NATO, UNICEF, and indeed ISO can easily mandate that supplied software support this standard and that submitted documents comply to the standard.
This opens up the game to any software such as OpenOffice ABIWORD etc. that supports OSF to compete on even terms with Word, Excel etc.
Furthermore it stops the current situation where "Security Fixes" and "Upgrades" to Word produce documents in a format that cannot be read by anything other than word.
No wonder MS has pulled out all the stops to break the standards process.
yeah, pretend we just hate MSFT
Its easy to pretend opposition to OOXML is just fanboys at play. The truth is the fanboys would love Microsoft to deliver a genuinely usable Office spec, destroying their own monopoly in the process. Even a 6000 page spec if it was accurate.
Unsurprisingly Microsoft declined to do that. OOXML doesn't help break the monopoly because Microsoft don't use it, don't intend to use it and made damn sure OOXML does not in fact document any existing or future Microsoft product formats well enough to be threaten anything.
The real opposition remains technical. Microsoft are pushing a 'standard' that's anything but, not open, not litigation free, not complete - not even accurate. The complaint about Google is 'the standard could be better'. Well sometimes a bad standard's better than no standard, especially when the creator won't be hanging around like a bad smell constantly derailing improvements.
Sometimes a standard is just a standard. And sometimes its a monopoly protecting its monopoly, by foul means.
Double standards
Judges, Censors, politicians and this Standard lobby lot all hate Microsoft for some reason. Apple could quite easily get away with offing up a AOXML systems and it would be passed through without a second glance, it's just the way it is, hypocrisy, buddyism and bribery with the CEO's of Google / Apple. I don't think Microsoft can do much about it, in a court case they will more than likely loose and in any other battles they will more than likely fail thanks to the unjustified wave of anti -Microsoft sentiment.
Luckily Microsoft products are more thought through and win over in the end.
Yes, Google and Apple invented everything.
We know, we know. Google and Apple have invented everything that was ever useful...
"...[KML] was originally developed as part of Google Earth."
No, it wasn't. It was developed as part of Keyhole Earth Viewer. Many of us used Keyhole long before Google was any kind of influence on the industry at all. Note that the extension isn't .gml, that's a hint. Google, nor Google Earth had anything at all to do with it.
And I also know speaking anything negative about Google or Apple will get me flamed, so go ahead...
And Keyhole Earth Viewer became...
If it were .gml - it would be something else entirely - i.e. Geogrpahy Markup Language invented by Ron Lake - who collaborated with the Big G on KML.
Re: Double standards
Dude get your facts strait before positing such intelligent comments.
MS has been found guilty, yes GUILTY of being a Monopolist. So if a convicted monopolist tries to railroad an existing standard with an inferior/incomplete/legally encumbered standard by nefarious means its only to protect it's monopoly. Nothing more, no community good will, no industry collaboration, nada nope zip.
"Apple could quite easily get away with offing up a AOXML systems and it would be passed through without a second glance"
If Apple owned the market as MS does why wouldn't it. Thats what MS has done/tried.
Whats funny is the tampering with ISO voters is so blatant i think the world is stunned. It's kind of like NY/NJ mob trials where everyone knows that the reason the snitch stopped singing is because the defense got to him, but theres nothing they can do.
"unjustified wave of anti -Microsoft sentiment." Dude do your homework!!! Try Microsoft history 101!!!
"Luckily Microsoft products are more thought through and win over in the end."
Wow, are you the monkey man's sidekick? Tell us, please respond here how Vista is more thought through then other OSes out there? You want to see thought you should look at a MAC as far as usability is concerned. You want stability/security/scalability? Try LINUX/UNIX.
Now web CMS.. MOSS? Please try Documentum/Red dot/Joomla etc.
MS does make some really great software but they are by no means the best in the markets they are in. They are the best at making money more than software. I doubt i would get too much of an argument from anyone on that.
I think MS has targeted the key people in the right spots over the years that has propelled them to the top of the SW heap. An IT director told me that he had never seen anyone fired for picking a MS solution.
If Larry had a software portfolio that MS has even his pinstriped suited borg couldn't do what MS has done.
Need my coat to walk the dog!!
Re: "Microsofts DHCP or SOAP standards"
At what point in an alternative history did Microsoft invent DHCP?
As for MS SOAP - this is the company that has developers who are so incompetent/clueless that they didn't understand XML at all... as a result they kludged "array" support into CDATA elements in the underlying XML rather than just using the native format of XML - i.e. an element can contain multiple child elements. In other words, they immediately broke the standard and implemented their own "binary" additions to reduce compatibility.

Technote (troubleshooting)
Creating a connection from IBM WebSphere Adapter for Email to Microsoft Live server is not a supported scenario.
The following error is seen in the logs when running an outbound IBM WebSphere Adapter for E-mail, where the component has been configured to communicate with a Microsoft Live server (smtp.live.com) using SSL:
com.ibm.j2ca.email.exception.EmailConnectionFailedException: javax.mail.
MessagingException: Exception reading response; nested exception is: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection
The IBM WebSphere Adapter for Email does not support the STARTTLS extension (RCF3207). This is true for all versions of the IBM WebSphere Adapter for Email. Since the Microsoft Live server smtp.live.com does not have a separate SSL port, the IBM WebSphere Adapter for Email cannot connect to smtp.live.com or any other email server that expect only STARTTLS command to begin a TLS handshake. Microsoft Live server does not allow a plaintext connection.
Resolving the problem
- IBM WebSphere Adapter for Email supports connections to any email server that makes use of SSL connections and plaintext connections. As these are the only two connection types supported by IBM WebSphere Adapter for Email, consideration should be given to email servers which support one or both of these connection types.
- To request support for the STARTTLS extension with IBM WebSphere Adapter for Email a Request For Enhancement (RFE) can be logged on the IBM developerworks site found in the related URL section below.

Budget Modification Request Procedure and Instructions
Authorization Procedure for Budget Modifications
Use the budget modification request form whenever approval of budget modifications is required in accordance with sponsor instructions, or to reallocate funds among budget categories for allowable expenditures. Most commonly, budget modifications are required to ensure that sufficient funds are in the equipment category or the contractual services category before a requisition can be approved for equipment purchase or for a subrecipient agreement. This form is also used to allocate budgets from a summary level to budget categories for project management.
Budget categories (highlighted in gray)
Sponsor approval:
Sponsor approval is required when restrictions in spending categories are part of the terms and conditions of the award. To obtain Sponsor approval:
- PI writes a letter to the Sponsor to request the budget modification. The letter should include the budget categories and dollar amounts to be increased and decreased, and a justification for the requested changes.
- The letter to the Sponsor must be signed by the PI and a Sponsored Programs Administration authorized official.
Internal approvals:
Requests for budget modification are initiated and signed by the Principal Investigator (PI) and forwarded for authorization and signature in the following order:
1) Department Administrator
2) Department Chair
3) Dean (not required for School of Medicine and School of Pharmacy)
Submit to Sponsored Project Accounting and Compliance. When required, attach documentation of Sponsor approval.
Justification for budget modification requests:
To document the request, the Principal Investigator must document the request for budget modification by explaining the reason for the reallocation of funds. The following paragraphs provide guidance for writing the justification section of the budget modification form or the letter to the agency. The justification section must be completed on all budget modification forms, regardless of the signatures required.
Salaries: Explain why the change is necessary. Is an additional person(s) being added to the project? Were salary increases/reclassification received that had not been anticipated in the proposal, thereby requiring an increase to the salary budget? Is there an increase or decrease in the percent effort for any personnel, and if so, is this due to a change in the scope of the project? Reminder: For Federal grants, agency approval is required for absence of the PI for three months or more, a change of Key Personnel, or a reduction in PI or Key Person effort of 25% or more of the committed effort. The committed effort is the effort promised in the proposal, unless the agency has subsequently approved a new level of effort for that individual. Reminder: If clerical and administrative expenses were not proposed in the original budget and funded by the agency, such expenses normally should not be charged to the grant or contract. More about administrative expenses.
Fringe Benefits: Is the increase/decrease due to a change in the mix of the individuals being paid on the project? Does the change reflect actual benefit costs?
Equipment: What is the piece of equipment to be ordered and why is it needed for this project? Does the campus already have the equipment? If so, why is additional equipment needed? Is the item in question, considered "general purpose" equipment (examples: printer, copier)? If so, then the request to rebudget and purchase may require the prior approval of the sponsor. Equipment is defined as tangible, nonexpendable property having a useful life of more than one (1) year and an acquisition cost per unit equal to or greater than $5000.
Travel: Provide information regarding who will be traveling, the purpose of the trip, location and travel dates. When the budget modification is for foreign travel, attach a copy of the program announcement showing that the traveler is presenting a paper, poster session, etc., or a copy of the letter the traveler received inviting him/her for the visit or meeting. Reminder: Federal grants and contracts will only reimburse air travel with a US-flag air carrier at coach rates.
Supplies: Provide a justification for the change. This category contains the expendable material and supply items usually found in a laboratory. Such items would include but are not limited to glassware, chemicals, radiotopes, animals, etc.
Other Expenses: Provide a justification for the change. Remember that administrative expenses are normally disallowed under Federal regulations (OMB Circular A-21, section F.6.b), unless they are properly justified as to how they contribute to the successful completion of the technical aspects of the project.
Subrecipient Agreements: For new subrecipients or to increase the allocation for an existing subrecipient agreement, complete the budget modification form to reallocate funds to the Contractual Services budget category. For the justification on the budget modification request form, briefly explain. For new subrecipients, is Sponsor approval required? What portion of the project scope of work will be performed by the subrecipient? For increases, what is the reason for the increase? More about subrecipient agreements
Consultants: Explain why the increase is needed. For new consultants, who is proposed consultant? Does the amount include travel, supplies, and lodging in addition to the consultant fee? For existing consultants, why is the increase needed? Additional work? Additional time? Work with Procurement to initiate a new consulting agreement or to increase an existing one.
Facilities and Administrative Cost (F&A): F & A cost must be adjusted to account for any changes to the base from which the F & A costs were calculated. Usually these result from changes to the amount for subrecipient agreements or the amount for equipment.

It seems there's no foreman either, if you know what we mean - it's an equal partnership. They take it in turns. One minute BJ's taking Vladi's huge cock deep in his hairy arse, the next it's all change and BJ's on top... we could hardly keep up! They're rolling around like they're trying to eat each other! It all ends in a great big fountain of cum and two very satisfied painters. We're satisfied too. Not with the painting of course, but that can wait - the show was worth every penny.

By Steve Wright
Microsoft Xbox Australia spokesperson Adam Pollington was able to sit down with us for a couple minutes to chat about the Xbox One, its rumoured always-on status, potential charges for pre-owned games, and Australian-specific queries. As you'd expect, Xbox Australia was only able to provide us with Xbox's official line on some matters, but we asked the questions anyway.
Before we began, Pollington stressed that, "today['s Xbox Reveal] was very much about the future of the platform and what's coming, with a lot more details to come between now and E3."
Diving head-first into the subject of used games and potential pre-owned charges, Pollington said, "what we have announced is that we have designed the Xbox One to enable used games. However, in terms of the details about that specific mechanism, nothing has been confirmed and we have nothing else to confirm at this time. What we can confirm is that yes, it will be possible."
When asked to clarify Microsoft's position on the Xbox One's always-on requirements, especially in rural areas where a rumoured once-a-day activation might not be possible, Pollington acknowledged that Xbox Australia had been receiving that question many times over themselves.
"To be very clear on the matter, you don't need an 'always-on' connection for Xbox One, but you do require a connection to the internet for certain activities," he said. "We've very much designed the console to be an all-in-one entertainment system that's connected to the cloud, and is always ready and can handle updates and the like in the background. But, we've also taken into account that our customers will want to play games and watch Blu-ray movies and live TV if they lose their connection. An always-on connection isn't required but an internet connection at some point will be required."
We then asked if Pollington could outline the internet connection requirements gamers would need to meet to play a single-player video game. "The specifics at this stage, we really can't provide any further detail on. Just that an internet connection will be required, but not all the time."
"We've also fielded a number of questions around bandwidth," Pollington added. "From everything we've seen today, the bandwidth requirements and internet speeds and the like are very comparable to what you require on an Xbox 360 today. The internet in Australia right now is more than adequate to enable functionality on Xbox One."
Pollington also commented on which of the services mentioned in the Xbox Reveal would make it to Australia, and who Microsoft would be partnering with if required. "The goal is to roll out those services in all markets where Xbox One will launch. Timelines for specific regions haven't been passed on as yet, but the expectation is that all those services will be avialable," he said.
"Particularly, we've received a lot of interest around the HDMI In functionality, and that really is enabling integration of television into the Xbox One console. We've very aware that each market has nuances in how TV is received, whether that's through the internet, cable or satellite or free-to-air over-the-air, but all of those things have been taken into consideration so that when we deliver to market it's a premium experience, no matter where you are."
Pollington was not able to confirm release dates, pricing details or a timeline on when those details would be released, but he did advise to "stay tuned."
I took the chance to point out that there had been quite a bit of chatter over social networks saying the Xbox One has the aesthetics of a used VCR, to which Pollington said, "with any design, some people will hate it and some people may not. It's very much a design that we believe fits in nicely with the home entertainment system of today. It's designed to be an all-in-one games, TV and entertainment unit and we want it to look pretty under the TV in the living room. You can also look at the approach that we've taken with other Microsoft products; Windows 8 and the Windows Phone tiles and the like take have taken that 16:9 aspect; that horizontal approach has been reflected across onto the Xbox One console. More and more, we're seeing interfaces and designs becoming comparible across Microsoft's product ranges."
When asked if Xbox Australia had anything specific to add for gamers in this country, Pollington said, "We don't have any specific Australian announcements to make, but one thing that I do think is particularly exciting for customers of the Xbox One in general, and also to Australians, is the power of the cloud. We touched on it briefly in our press conference, and I think it's a really important point and a key differenciator for Xbox One. Essentially, no longer are we constrained to the processing power of Xbox One in terms of hardware; we're able to do a lot of processing that was traditionally done on the box, in the cloud.
"It's also been stated that the Xbox One is ten times more powerful than the Xbox 360, so we're effectively 40 times greater than the Xbox 360 in terms of processing capabilities [using the cloud]. If you look to the cloud as something that is no doubt going to evolve and grow over time, it really spells out that there's no limit to where the processing power of Xbox One can go. I think that's a very exciting proposition, not only for Australians, but anyone else who's going to pick up the Xbox One console."

Title: Terrible quality
Date: Oct 24, 2011
This costume is so adorable, but I just can't ignore the absolutely HORRIBLE quality with the stitching and the hood. Right out of the bag one of the "puffballs" on the seahorse's face fell off in my hand, not a surprise since it was stitched with barely one thread and wasn't tied off or knotted. The zipper bottom started detaching from the body after one pull. There is no way for the seahorse head to stay on your baby's head, it just falls off backward because it's just a big loose opening. We have a costume from my older daughter with a similar "hood" and it was made properly and stayed on snugly. It has nothing to do with my daughters size, it's a poor design. So disappointed, because it's a really cute costume. Now I have to spend time sewing it and figuring out how to rig the hood/head part better. They must have taped the hood to that baby in the photo, because it does NOT stay on.

An die untergehende Sonne is pervaded by downward movement in the melodic line and accompaniment which is appropriate to the sinking sun. An die Sonne on the other hand has a corresponding sense of upward momentum. It is very much written for the soprano voice – the heavenward flight of 'sei gegrüsst' (accompanied by ceremonial horn fanfares) in the poem's second line is capped by 'hoch gegrüsst' in the third. The most interesting passage, however, is the setting of the fourth line of the poem, 'golden fliesst schon um die Hügel'. In the accompaniment an ingeniously-built ascent from bass to treble clef mirrors and supports the gradual rising of the sun in the voice. This royal progress between the words 'die Hügel' and 'Geflügel' spans almost an octave from A to A flat in a ten-note scale including a number of semitone intervals. After this high point the melody subsides and bows, giving way to human wonder at all this natural beauty. The postlude, a rising sequence of tonic chords decorated with accented passing notes, echoes this phrase in miniature, including a final cadence after the ascent which is once again in a lower tessitura and a symbol of earthbound awe.
This is the only Schubert setting of Christoph August Tiedge, a prolific poet from Halle and the private tutor and secretary to Countess Elisa von Recke whom he accompanied to Italy and with whom he later lived in Dresden. Tiedge had an unusually long life but his reputation was made in his earlier years as poet of the religious and philisophical epic Urania über Gott, Unstreblichkeit und Freiheit (1801). Beethoven wrote two of his most interesting songs to a text from that celebrated work – different versions of An die Hoffnung (1805 and 1815). There are no less than eight volumes of Tiedge's collected works, although his writing has largely fallen into oblivion since the first half of the nineteenth century. Schubert found the poem of An die Sonne in Becker's Pocketbook and Almanac for Sociable Pleasures (1795).

The Chattanooga Community Based Outpatient Clinic opened in 1985. It currently treats veterans in 21 counties in Tennessee, North Georgia and Northwest Alabama. The clinic provides primary care, mental health, pharmacy, dental laboratory and audiology services. In 2006, it opened an additional 10,000-square-foot imaging center to provide CT scans, X-ray, ultrasound and bone density scans.

If approved, a deal in Congress could double the size of the Chattanooga Veterans Affairs Clinic at 6098 Debra Road.Photo by Dan Henry.
Chattanooga's VA clinic would more than double in size under a bipartisan agreement reached in Congress this week — a move expected to help alleviate long waits and cut down on travel for veterans across the Tennessee Valley.
Chattanooga's current 40,000-square-foot outpatient clinic, near Eastgate Town Center, will expand to 100,000 square feet and will offer more specialist care -- including optometry, ophthalmology, radiology, orthopedics and podiatry -- under a $17 billion congressional proposal to hire more doctors and nurses and lease 27 new clinics to treat veterans.
The deal would have to be approved by the full House and Senate and signed by President Barack Obama.
It comes after months of public outcry over long wait times for veterans seeking care at U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs clinics and hospitals. A recent VA audit found that in the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System, which includes the Chattanooga clinic, new patients had an average wait of 58 days to see a primary care doctor and 71 days to see a specialist. That was the sixth-longest wait among all U.S. facilities, according to an Associated Press analysis.
Members of Congress said the bill would go a long way toward resolving the VA's current crisis.
Chattanooga-area veterans were pleased as well.
"I think it's a good and necessary step," said Navy veteran Da'wah Akhtab.
Akhtab said he waited months to see his primary care doctor in Chattanooga. While he waited for his appointment, he was diagnosed with stage four cancer by doctors at Memorial Hospital. He's now in VA hospice care in Murfreesboro. He said he's grateful for the care he receives, but was dismayed at the months-long wait to see a VA doctor.
"I just felt like it was the twilight zone or something," he said. "I didn't know what was going on."
If the full deal is approved, Chattanooga's clinic will expand its primary care and mental health capacity, while also offering more specialty services, said Jessica Schiefer, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System.
Chattanooga's clinic currently provides primary care for 14,600 patients, and 25,000 veterans in the Chattanooga area are enrolled for some type of services.
Schiefer said the system is hiring 100 employees, including nurses, physicians and clerks to beef up services.
"With more space would come more services we could offer," she said. "That would help address access and wait times."

Jeff Victor teaches evolution (of Batman)
by Michael May | December 10, 2012 @ 10:00 AM | No Comments |
Illustrator/character designer Jeff Victor has gotten some attention lately for his Evolution of Tom Hanks T.Hanksgiving piece, but it's just one in a series of "evolution" images he's created, a few of them comics-related. In addition to Batman above, Victor has chronicled Jack Nicholson, Uma Thurman, and Natalie Portman, all of whom have starred in comics adaptations. Hit the break to see those three and Victor's site for many others.

Ted DiBiase, who recently left WWE, is working on a movie about his father, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. The movie is entitled The Price of Fame.
Former WWE star Ted DiBiase recently mentioned that he wanted to hunt with Shawn Michaels, which has led to speculations that he could be setting up a guest appearance on Michaels' television show.
Matt Morgan and Ted DiBiase have been booked for a match on December 7 in New York. They're competing in a one night tournament for Family Wrestling Entertainment.
Through Twitter, former WWE star Ted DiBiase revealed that he has now been married for five years now.

The Dangers of Conventional FarmingBy Sonya Welter
Prior to the 1940s, all food was grown more-or-less organically, although the regulatory organization did not exist in the United States until 1990. While civilizations have been using pesticides for centuries … in ancient Sumer, they dusted elemental sulphur on their crops in 2500 BC, and in the 15th century farmers used naturally-occurring toxic chemicals such as arsenic, mercury and lead to control pests and disease — these methods were expensive and provided inconsistent results, and so they were used infrequently. Modern pesticide use exploded after 1939, when the powerful insecticidal properties of DDT (Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane) were discovered by Swiss scientist Dr. Paul Hermann Müller (he would later be awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this discovery). Initially used to combat insect-bourne diseases like malaria, typhoid fever and dysentery, its use during World War II saved the lives of countless soldiers and war refugees.
After the War, in August 1945, the United States approved DDT for agricultural purposes and use skyrocketed, even though very few tests were done as to its long-term safety for humans and other warm-blooded animals, or for the ecosystem. Soon it became apparent that DDT was killing more than just the targeted pests: earthworms ate leaves with trace amounts of DDT and collected the chemical in their body fat, and the robins who ate those earthworms died; crustaceans in waterways absorbed DDT from the mud, and fish ate the crustacean and birds like gulls, eagles and osprey ate the fish, and as a result produced fewer eggs and eggs with abnormally thin shells. Eventually, DDT-resistant strains of mosquitoes, houseflies, and other insects began appearing and stronger applications would be needed to control the target insects. The chemical was already proving to be far more toxic than ever anticipated, and entire species were threatened with extinction. Its use was finally banned in the United States in 1972, following the publication of Silent Spring by biologist Rachel Carson. (It is still legally used in many Third World countries today, often to control malaria.) Despite being banned over thirty years ago, the use of DDT was so widespread and the chemical is so insidious that most Americans … even those born after 1972 … have traces of DDT stored in their body fat.
And DDT is far from being the only synthetic pesticide out there, and today's chemicals aren't necessarily much better. Today there are over 1,600 kinds of pesticides available, with over 4.4 million tons applied worldwide each year. We have more safety precautions in place now, but it is impossible to know the long term effects that synthetic pesticides have on human health and the environment. The EPA estimates that as many as 6,000 new cases of cancer each year are pesticide related, and pesticides are also suspected to contribute to asthma, diabetes, liver problems, neurological disorders like Parkinson's Disease and weakened immune systems.
Some pesticides can be washed off by the consumer, but more often they are absorbed into the plant and are impossible to remove (this is especially true of foods with a higher water content, such as leafy greens or berries). Pesticides and synthetic fertilizers also leach into the groundwater, contaminating drinking water and creating dead zones in lakes and rivers where no aquatic plants or animals can survive. Amphibians like frogs, with their extremely permeable skin, often experience grave mutations as a result of contact with pesticide residue. The populations of many bird species are threatened today, either as a result of direct poisoning from pesticides, or because pesticides are removing their food source … insects … from the environment; an estimated 67 million birds are killed each year as a result of pesticide use.
Pesticides also destroy the microflora and fauna that keep soil healthy and stable; without them, soil quality quickly degrades and the land is more susceptible to erosion. Worldwide, topsoil is currently being eroded ten to forty times faster than it can naturally be replaced, and over the last forty years 30% of all arable land has become unproductive due to erosion.
And the chemicals aren't even doing their job: despite pesticide use increasing 33-fold between 1945 and 1990, we still lose about 37% of our crops in the US to insects, fungus or weeds … essentially the same amount since before World War II. Like an addict seeking a fix, we have to spray more and more to get the same result. This is partly because pests naturally develop a resistance to the chemicals, but also because farming practices have become increasingly less sustainable, and unhealthy conditions invite pests.
Livestock operations are even worse for the environment. Animals are kept in crowded, filthy, unhealthy conditions, without access to the outdoors and often without even any freedom of movement, and are pumped full of antibiotics as a quick fix against the inevitable respiratory diseases from poor ventilation and infected sores from constantly rubbing against their too-small pens. They are also often given artificial growth hormones, like the controversial rBGH and rBST, to produce more meat or milk in less time. These hormones and antibiotics are still present in the meat, dairy products or eggs that the animals produce, and they very likely have effects on human health. Factory farms keep large numbers of animals in very small areas, and so they produce huge amounts of waste … 250,000 pounds every second in the United States … that pollute the soil and groundwater

14:21 In the spirit of fun, we've decided to stick our necks on the line and post our predictions ahead of kickoff. Here are our forecasts:
GT: United 3 Sunderland 0
JT: United 1 Sunderland 0
BH United 3 Sunderland 0
MF: United 2 Sunderland 1
What do you reckon? Let us know in Talking Reds and see how you fare at full-time. (MF)
14:12 We've team news from both camps ahead of kick-off...
United: De Gea; Jones, Ferdinand, Smalling, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Cleverley, Young, Rooney, van Persie. Bench: Lindegaard, Giggs, Chicharito, Vidic, Welbeck, Scholes, Fletcher.
Sunderland: Mignolet, Larsson, Gardner, Colback, O'Shea (c), Bramble, Johnson, McClean, Cuellar, Fletcher, Sessegnon. Bench: Campbell, Wickham, McFadden, Kilgallon, Vaughan, Westwood, Saha. (MF)
13:46 Though Sunderland are having a bit of a tough time of it this season, I have a suspicion they're going to be hard to break down this afternoon. Remember the game in December 2008, just after Keano quit as their manager and they were languishing near the bottom of the table? We battered them for 90 minutes but couldn't break through until Nemanja Vidic popped up in injury-time. Cue amusing celebration from the Serbian. You can watch highlights from that game in our feature. (JT)
13:27 Whilst walking down Sir Matt Busby way, I noticed plenty of fans wearing shirts with O'Shea's name on the back ahead of his first

Away Form
Ages of Arda: Leaving on a Jet Plane?
Sometimes things come up - finals, health issues, real life drudgery - and we have to poof in and out for awhile. Not to worry! In an effort to make things more concise and easily accessible for staff and members during Activity Check periods, we are we have an Away system!
If you are going away for any period of time, please post your away form in this thread, using the code that will be posted below.
This way, all of your thread partners will know that you're out and about for a bit and staff will know that you're still about if an Activity Check happens while you're gone!

Leaving Date: 6/26
Date of Return: 7/9 at the latest
Reason for leaving: I know I've been like a shiny Pokemon on here for the past forever it feels like. I finally had my car declared totaled last Wednesday from the stupid flood over a month ago and got a new one last Thursday. Classes ended for me yesterday and, besides getting things ready to leave for Korea come August 21st, things are less stressful. xD Well, except that my old laptop's charging port is shot and so I got a new one a couple weeks ago, and my woes with it are endless. Looking at getting a different one. @.@ Anyway, I'm leaving for a trip to Miami with my best friends tomorrow morning, and I'll get back Sunday or Monday. Theeeen, my boyfriend, whom I haven't seen in a year since he lives five hours away for a year round school, will be here for a week pretty much as soon as I get back from Miami. After he leaves though, and even while he's here more than likely, I'll be able to get on and be active again. I'm sorry this is so long-winded.

Date of Return: 24
Reason for leaving: Will be moving. Not sure if we will be able to move on the 22, the 23rd is for sure, unless we can get some help the other day. Just putting it down just in case.
I would also like to add a Low Activity notice. I apologize for not doing this sooner. In my absentmindedness I completely forgot to put this up here. I thought I had done it on both the sites I'm on. No excuse, my apologies. I started a new job recently working 2:30pm to 11pm so I have been having to get used to that schedule. I have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off and plan to, once my character is accepted, post on those days.

Leaving Date: 08/21
Date of Return: Questionable.
Reason for leaving: K, so, I'll be 100% out of town tomorrow night, getting back Friday, but then my uncle is gonna be here this weekend. My mom and uncle are both leaving Sunday BUT my best buddy is getting in town Monday and then on Thursday we're leaving for DragonCon. Straight from Atlanta I'm heading out to New Zealand via LA and Fiji (four day span of definitely no internet). I'm not 100% when I'll have internet access again after the 28th, but I will at some point (or so help me, my mother will freak if I cannot Skype with her). Hopefully (fingers crossed), I'll have it reliably again starting the 8th, but I honestly don't know since I'll be living at a horse barn (in a mini-apartment on the propery, not a stall mind you) and my utilities (aka internet) are provided by the good graces of my employer.
But I can go into town and find an internet cafe after learning how to drive on the opposite side of th road, so I'm not disappearing forever. Thus there's no need to panic. I'll figure it out and be back. <3

Reason for leaving: This is not really an away thing, but more of a "I will be low on activity" thing. Changing in weather/seasons/times of the year tend to bring on a lot of varying stress factors, and my body is slowly rebeling against me in the health department (oh farming, how I loathe you). I know I have one post to respond to as of this, but I just want everyone else to know I will be slow to respond. Miss y'all, love y'all. Be safe!

Looking at the other images in the series I believe they are well executed but lack feel. Converting to mono and the letterbox format in this example adds feel to the image. For me it gives a sense of stillness and peace but an element of lonliness too. For me that gives me as a viewer a connection to the image.
As Prabhusina mentions, your showcase is stunning. Some beautiful work in there. It makes your folio look like this is the work in progress section/the rough cuts. That said the purpose of the folio is to upload images for comment both good and bad to help any photographer develop their style and attention to detail.
You have some fabulous work and for me this one stands up out of the series to at least compete with your showcase folio. Really enjoyed looking at your stuff.

For whatever reason Mark this does work very well in mono.
Perhaps Coast has hit the nail on the head about feel.
When I open your images I think -'Oh a good photographer'
and I want my images to take that leap to 'special'
which yours have.
If these have not been popular, my only feeling is
perhaps people like more meat on the bones.
We all seem to develop a style or have favourite subjects
whereby our thumbnails are easily recognised.
I'm still trying everything.
You do have a 'dreamy' style.
Back to image here - I feel it does make an impact.
We'll see if it does better.

I like the set, maybe your pf has become a little samey? regardless this is a very well converted black and white, creating a little more drama than the colour version in your pf.
I do agree with coast though, the images don't fit well in a thumbnail, so they are easy to miss.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Mark, I agree with Jenn. I would not have called this a sunrise (or sunset). That sets up an expectation in people's minds about seeing sunrise colors.
Anyway -- I also agree that this is a wonderful image, very pleasing.
Regarding your question as to why the series isn't getting the kind of draw you might have expected -- I have discussed the general question of what draws and what gets ignored with several members via PM.
There are factors at play that have nothing to do with the aesthetics of your work. You have to ignore the irrelevant comments (or lack of) and rank feedback in this order:
1) your own gut feeling
2) your own technical analysis
3) the judgement of those whose critiques you value
4) the judgement of everybody else.
So -- Back to where I started. I do find this to be an excellent image.

30th National Beef Cook-Off seeks healthy recipes from Kansas home cooks
The Kansas Beef Council is calling on home cooks to start grilling, broiling, roasting, stir-frying and stewing on their healthy beef menu ideas for the 2013 National Beef Cook-Off recipe competition.
From now until April 15, Kansas home cooks can submit their best beef recipes online at www.beefcookoff.org for a chance to win $25,000 and a trip to the Metropolitan Cooking & Entertaining Show in Washington, D.C.
This year's contest theme is "Making the Most of MyPlate," which will encourage delicious, healthy recipes from a variety of food groups. Entrants are asked to develop original and tasty beef-focused recipes that include broadly appealing ingredients from the fruit and vegetable, grain products and dairy products groups. (The MyPlate initiative is led by the USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion and is designed to help consumers make better food choices.)
"The recipe contest is all about creating fresh, simple to prepare recipes with a healthy focus," said Audrey Monroe, RD, LD, Director of Nutrition with the Kansas Beef Council. "We are encouraging Kansas home cooks to choose ingredients from a variety of food groups, including lean beef, to create their mouthwatering recipes."
New categories focused on health, trends
The 2013 National Beef Cook-Off features four unique contest categories that demonstrate beef's versatility and encourage creativity with a variety of ingredients, cuts and preparation methods.
This year's contest also includes two new sponsorships. The sponsorship with the California Avocado Commission features a pairing of lean beef and fresh, California avocados in easy California cuisine recipes. The sponsorship with the United States Potato Board pairs lean beef and fresh potatoes in easy and healthy international cuisine recipes.
The four recipe categories include:
--Belt-Tightening Beef Recipes--Home cooks will create healthy and affordable beef recipes that are great values to prepare. Recipes should include a maximum of nine ingredients including beef, and flavorful, low-cost ingredients from the fruits or vegetables, grain products and dairy products food groups.
--Semi-Homemade Beef Recipes--Home cooks will demonstrate how easy it is to cook with beef when they combine any fresh beef cut and fresh ingredients with prepackaged food products. Recipes should include a maximum of six ingredients including the beef, and fruits or vegetables, grain products and dairy products food groups, and be prepared and cooked in 30 minutes or less.
--Real Worldly, Real Simple Beef & Potato Recipes--Home cooks will create original easy-to-make lean beef and fresh potato centered recipes that feature international flavors and maintain a healthy profile. Recipes should include no more than ten commonly available and affordable ingredients including the beef and potatoes, along with at least one other ingredient from the fruits or vegetables, grain products or dairy products food groups. Recipes should be prepared in no more than 15 minutes and cooked in 30 minutes.
--Craveable Fresh Beef and California Avocado Recipes--Home cooks will produce easy recipes using all fresh ingredients, featuring one of the lean beef cuts and at least one fresh California avocado. Recipes should include no more than eight ingredients, including the beef and avocado, along with at least one other ingredient from the fruits or vegetables, grain products or dairy products food groups, and be prepared and cooked in 30 minutes or less.
To enter the contest, participants must visit www.beefcookoff.org and use the online entry form. Contest participants may submit multiple recipes in all of the various contest categories as long as they meet the contest rules and criteria, which are provided on the website.
All original recipes entered will be reviewed and judged based on taste, appearance, convenient preparation and cooking, and healthfulness and nutritional balance.
A group of food marketing and culinary professionals will select 20 finalists in June. Consumers will have the opportunity to select the 21st finalist recipe via online voting. From the 21 finalists, seven $1,500 regional winners will be announced in July.
One different $25,000 grand prize winner will be announced, from the remaining 14 finalists in November at the Metropolitan Cooking & Entertaining Show in Washington, D.C. The grand prize winner will be selected based on the highest overall scoring recipe.
To view the complete contest rules and explore winning recipes from past contests, visit www.beefcookoff.org. The contest is open to legal U.S. residents who are 18 years of age or older and reside in one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My experience at this school has been great. The caring environment is ideal for students who flourish in a medium size school (currently at about 130 students). The head of School has been great at implementing small institutional steps since he stepped into the role. The entire staff is open to feedback which I find way comforting!!! My kids are flourishing at this school - I like that "diversity" is a key part of their values and the mission statement.
Our child has been enrolled at Soundview for four years, and LOVES going to school each day. Each year our experience with the school has been terrific. Since the change in administration 12 months ago, the school has become even better. It is evident that the teachers are all working together even more closely, with learning integrated across the curriculum. For example, when a 2nd grade class was doing a social studies unit on housing around the world, they also created a climate-specific dwelling in art, studied the geometry & engineering of an igloo in math, learn household vocabulary in Spanish, and learned a song about how everyone needs a home in music.. We are delighted that the person who was the interim head of school in 2013 has become the permanent head of school: he is fantastic, and he has the enthusiastic support of teachers and parents.. As a university professor, I can't imagine a better K-8 foundation for learning than what Soundview provides through its values-based International Baccalaureate program, excellent and rigorous approach to math and science, and the integration of visual and performing arts at every level of the curriculum.
We have been at Soundview for 4 years. My children love school. The teachers are amazing both in terms of teaching quality and commitment. The curriculum is challenging, particularly in math and science. Music and art are an integral part of the curriculum just like the old days! The kids at Soundview are enthusiastic, intellectually curious and well, happy. Soundview is building leaders who will have the confidence and academic preparation to tackle their goals.
The school has been undergoing a lot of change lately. To be honest, our family feels that changing the head of school was the right move at the right time for the growth of the school. The former head of school was full of great ideas, but didn t have the skills to move out of the entrepreneurial, seat-of-the-pants approach to a more structured, well-thought-out approach. The interim head of school has the training necessary and the determination to help Soundview continue to grow as a school. He also appears to have a highly supportive staff helping him in this transition. In spite of the mid-year head change, the school has not changed its mission. It is still offering a well-rounded education with a fantastic teaching staff and administrators who care. From what I ve heard, reenrollment is reaching record levels, which shows that most families are putting faith in the school over the next year as it transitions. We are thrilled to have our children at the school and look forward to seeing them graduate from Soundview one day.
we are currently in the enrollment process with soundview. yesterday my Daughter attended a day at Clearwater. Never before have I heard her so excited and passonaite about school. she is egarly awaiting there decsion on weather or not she will be accecpted. we are keeping our fingers crossed. I would recomind this school to any parent who wants a better education for there child. she learned more in 1 day then she has in months at public school
Head and founder of school let go by school board for poor enrollment numbers over last one year (really???) and the chairman of the board who has no affiliation with the school plus has never been seen around the school suddenly appears out of nowhere and is making all the decisions. Parents like me and most others I have talked to are very displeased and are not re-enrolling. Teachers are very poorly qualified, one of the first grade aid is now the class teacher. Complete lack of direction in the new management. Beware of elementary school head. Interim head is LEARNING how to run the school. Do you really want to send your child to a school where the teachers and administration themselves are in the learning mode? Guess if I want to spend the money, I would like some experienced teachers and not some newbies. I am really surprised why their aren't more reviews depicting the real picture, I am just writing to help out, if I would have seen something like this posted, I would have not let my child attend this school.
Change in management in middle of year 2013 - head director, founder let go by board of directors. Brand new math teacher in 2012-13 year and only lectures in classroom - does not know how to do differentiated teaching even though the classroom is very small. Math is taught sometimes by this teacher and at other times by the science teacher. Math is a weak link in this school.
My daughter was enrolled in an independent school in Seattle when we decided to relocate to Lynnwood. Our school's admissions director turned me onto Soundview School, which I had never heard of. She recommended it as her premier choice for an independent school in Snohomish County. Five years later, not only my daughter, but her three younger siblings are all happy Soundview students. It is a young school compared to its Seattle-based counterparts, but that is precisely what makes it such an exciting community to be a part of. The IB curriculum is challenging and innovative and my kids (aged 3 to 9) are all highly engaged. It's so nice to pick my kids up from school and consistently hear that they had a great day and love being there. Kids are by far the best critics. Not only is Soundview a fit for my kids, but it is an equal fit for my husband and I. It was of primary importance for us to find a school that we felt comfortable in, and a staff and parent base that were friendly and shared our common goals. We have found all of this in Soundview.
I am in my 17th year of teaching, and my second year at Soundview, and I can say that this school is unlike any of the other schools in which I have had the good fortune to teach. Soundview's curricular focus of encouraging student inquiry and the practical application of knowledge makes for an exciting learning, and teaching, environment. After learning the IB framework, I wouldn't want to teach anywhere else. And I love my clever, inquisitive, risk-taking students.
I've had a great time teaching students at Soundview and am looking forward to sending my daughter to Soundview in the near future.
I am honored to work with such dedicated, passionate and talented teachers. The teachers at Soundview consistently come up with unique and creative ways to keep students involved and engaged in their education.
The teachers at Soundview are some of the hardest working I've ever worked with. We collaborate and share ideas every day to enrich the educational experience of our students. I am amazed at what I see and hear around me every day!
Beware: The head of this school is DISHONEST. With dishonest leadership, one can only imagine how easily important facets of a school can fall by the wayside. The head of school has never been an educator, nor does she have a degree in education. There is a reason this school has not been accredited as a WA state Independent school and is a World IB Candidate school, yet has not been approved as an official IB school. The school claims to employ only certificated teachers, but look closely and you'll find the head of school will overlook even that small detail when hiring on a small budget. The school is run like a business, one that is a sinking ship. A few loyal parents and some wonderful teachers are the only things keeping this school afloat. The school aims to be a 21st century school, buying up new technology that doesn't end up being used by students, because there is no plan for use of that technology. The leadership at the school concerns itself with constantly trying new things without ever mastering anything. Teachers are underpaid (compared to other local private & public schools) and under appreciated. Turnover is high at this school - both for teachers and students.
I am amazed and very pleased to witness my child blossoming in the IB environment at Soundview. The thing I notice the most is that my child just loves to go to school. Even on days he is sick, he still don't want to miss his classes. What ever that IB program is, it is certainly very good at maximizing efficiency in learning during regular class time. My child seems to find learning in the IB environment very engaging and rewarding. It certainly helps us parents to not have to spend much time at home to supplement the education.
Soundview School is an excellent school. The IB program helps students to develop life long skills as well as deeper meaning of the subject matters. The IB program is an inquiry driven curriculum. It is amazing to see their wonder wall with 8 questions such as form, function, causation, connection, perspectives, responsibility, refection etc. The student generated questions are so insightful. Soundsview's arts program is phenomenal. All the kids are taking visual art, music and Spanish. The arts are integrated with their IB unit themes. The class size is small so each student receives very good care from the teacher. The school emphasizes the innovation, creativity, hands on projects through critical thinking framework. Soundview Middle School is an ultimate middle school for intelligent and creative students. Soundview School uses Singapore math program with hands on projects. The science lab is a real lab and the students have 5-6 periods a week. They also are taught engineering and computer programming. SoThis is the only school implementing the IB program for K-8. My kids love the school! Excellent jazz and concert band! Every kid from 5-8th graders is in band.
The fact that my daughter's school has so many reviews posted shows that families, teachers, etc, truly care about this extraordinary school and its dynamic curriculum and faculty. By the way, Soundview charges standard fees that ALL private schools charge and are indeed listed on the tuition form.
Chalk it up to disgruntled employees, I like that, it's always easier to point the finger and blame than take a good comprehensive look at the practices and policies of a questionable administration. Nine employees gone last year, one on the radar for this year...and it's only February...just keep your eyes on the faculty page and see how the bios change. Either they are hiring poor teachers and have bad hiring practices or they are hiring good teachers and have issues with ... what? In either case, this page is suppose to help those looking at the school be informed. Disgruntled employees or not, facts speak for themselves.
We've been at this school since kindergarten through middle school. Soundview is about a next generation education model, not yesterday's three R's by rote, and not today's teach to the test model. We've stuck with this school because it is always moving forward and improving. Today it has a clear vision and mission to nurture and encourage tomorrow's thinkers and leaders. The community (kids, parents, teachers and staff) is a great group of people to be part of.
Soundview has so many good things and many hard working teachers. But the administration is wacky. There seems to be no solid long term vision. Everything is in flux most of the time. The worse part is the constant change in teaching staff. At times teachers seem to be chosen at the very last minute, sometimes with very little experience. The Head of School seems to make all decisions without any educational expertise or input. I would agree with the review stating that the school was run too much like a business. Also, BEWARE a number of hidden costs not listed on the tuition sheet: nonrefundable deposits that are over $1000, fees for not signing enrollments, high fees for any "clubs" or after school activities and hundreds of extra dollars for school supplies, art supplies, required instrument rentals for band, field trips, other trips - the list goes on.
Soundview is a excellent place for kids to learn to be productive citizens of tomorrow. The focus is on learning, to be thinkers and leaders in a complex, competitive global environment. The curriculum is well rounded, (great music program, too), the teachers are of high caliber and the board and principal are totally devoted to the advancement and growth of the students. I am exteremely pleased with the way the school is providing value, and strongly recommend the school to any parent looking to enroll their child.

Updated: October 2, 2013 6:48AM
CHAMPAIGN — For all we know, Illinois' first and last victory of the season came and went Saturday. Given the final score — Illini 42, Southern Illinois 34 — one would have to accept it as a possibility.
The Illini can feel only so much joy after failing to put away a Bowl Championship Subdivision opponent that finished three yards, plus a two-point conversion, short of overtime.
"A win is a win," coach Tim Beckman said. "It's not a happy win, but we'll learn from it."
It was far from perfect. Beckman's team couldn't run the ball, didn't generate a hint of a pass rush, lost the turnover battle and nearly coughed up an 18-point fourth-quarter lead.
In light of what their Week 2 opponent, Cincinnati, did to Purdue on Saturday — Bearcats 42, Boilermakers 7 — it might seem the Illini need a few more weeks of training camp. Or a safe place to hide.
But forget all that. These are the Illini. They were 2-10 in 2012. They were terrible. Many of them admit they all but quit on the season.
Who needs perfect?
"I feel great," senior quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase said. "I feel awesome."
Well, that's more like it.
Scheelhaase deserved to be pleased after throwing for a career-high 416 yards — nearly three times his average (147.1) in his first 36 games as Illinois' starter.
He, his teammates and all of Illini Nation (you'd think a whole nation would be able to fill more than half of Memorial Stadium) should, at the least, be enthused, energized, maybe even a bit hopeful.
Win or lose — even under the best of circumstances, there will be more of the latter — football is going to be so much more fun for the Illini this season.
How about a 52-yard heave from Scheelhaase to Ryan Lankford on the first snap of the season? How about a well-executed hook-and-lateral play? How about a successful two-point-conversion pass thrown by a tight end, Tim Russell? How about true freshman quarterback Aaron Bailey getting in the game to score a third-quarter touchdown?
Maybe V'Angelo Bentley's 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown — the Illini's first since 2008 — was just a fluke. But it felt more like it belonged on a day when Beckman's team made sure that, if nothing else, it was going to have a good time playing the game.
"All the players enjoy that," Scheelhaase said. "Especially when it works."
Maybe these Illini are a little crazy. They took possession of the ball at their own 6-yard line with 1:32 left in the first half. Leading 17-7, they faced what seemed to be an obvious running situation. Kill the clock, and hit the locker room.
Instead, they put the pedal to the metal. Seven plays and 94 yards later, they'd made a statement.
"We're here to win," Beckman said. "You might've thought we would take a knee. We ain't doing that anymore."
If that's all Illini fans have to hang their hat on today, it could be a lot worse.
