Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, is perhaps the second most popular and consequential Republican President after Abraham Lincoln. Like Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, Reagan's careful rhetorical style proved deeply persuasive to the American people and earned him the name of "Great Communicator."
Elected during a moment of national self-doubt and…
Abstract: Throughout his presidency, Ronald Reagan was guided by the principles of the American founding, especially the idea of ordered liberty. In the opening of his first inaugural address in 1981, President Reagan echoed the preamble of the Constitution, calling on the country's citizens to "preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom." Eight years later, in…
Many voters across the nation are paying close attention to an
issue barely mentioned in the presidential debates: "urban sprawl."
Vice President Al Gore has endorsed plans to build more transit
lines and encourage "smart growth," and the Sierra Club is running
an $8 million ad campaign to support anti-sprawl candidates in key
congressional races.
But the concern…
The debate over urban sprawl is a healthy sign of
Americans' enduring desire for self-renewal. As such, it is
ultimately a national discussion about how to live "the good life"
in an affluent democracy. At its core, the debate over
"sprawl"--which often masquerades as a dispute over technical
concerns about traffic congestion, mass transit use, population
To hear the critics of urban sprawl tell it, every new housing
development means we're "running out of farmland." Every new strip
mall puts us one step closer to "the paving of America." The danger
occurs when these clichés become the basis of public
Sound thinking about land use requires putting sprawl in its
proper perspective. Start with a simple fact:…
The Winter 1998 issue of The American Scholar is on newsstands

On streetcars, utilities and transit innovation
Yesterday's Public Service Commission ruling – which is part of a battle that pits city versus state – seems counterproductive to building more usable and connected transit system. In case you missed it, the decision basically said that utilities, which use publicly financed roads for free (as we all do), should be given different treatment for Milwaukee-based improvements like the streetcar. You can read more about it and form your own opinion here.
The City Attorney's office offered this response later in the day:
"We disagree With the Public Service Commission's decision today on the Milwaukee Streetcar matter and will recommend an appeal. As the City has argued, the issue of Who pays the utilities' relocation or modication costs associated With the construction of the Streetcar is an issue for the Circuit Court, not the Commission, to decide. The utilities' obligation to relocate or modify their facilities at their expense is derived from state law, not a municipal regulation that the Commission may invalidate. Therefore, the Commission's decision does not end the controversy over Whether the utilities must pay the costs they might incur to modify or relocate their own facilities so as not to obstruct the public's use of the public right-of-way."
This "issue" isn't about whether there should be modern transportation in our state's largest city. Milwaukee's elected officials, Downtown leaders, businesses, transit riders, citizens and visitors have decided there should be. The question at hand is who should pay to move the underground utilities.
Yesterday, We Energies and AT&T seem to have won a good deal that helps control their costs. No matter where this ends, I'd like to see We Energies step up and make this project a priority. As a rate payer, Downtown property owner and concerned civic mind, I think they need to work with the city to get the engineering done ... quickly. And everyone should be reasonable in determining the costs. So, how about it?
Let's move modern transit to the top of everyone's list, including We Energies. They have a chance here to be a true leader in helping to build a better Downtown. For the utility company, this is for the good of the whole community, including their customers and investors, who will sell electricity to the streetcar and – yes – make money from it.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett put it this way, "In order to drive the costs down further, we expect even more cooperation from the utility companies than we have had to date."
As for the streetcar project's momentum, just last week the City of Milwaukee received a $3.18 million grant, approved by federal transportation officials, the regional planning body and officials from the Wisconsin Departments of Transportation and Natural Resources that helps continue to move the project forward.
For the benefit of Wisconsin and visitors to our fine state, Milwaukee's moving forward with a streetcar. In addition, the Downtown trolley is back this summer and other options like Uber Black and Lyft are here now, too. Cars are great. Options are good; they all work well together.
As I've written before, transportation isn't a Republican or Democratic or city or state issue; it's a simple, quality-of-life measure. And, it's about innovation and improvement in our community.
TomD | April 28, 2014 at 9:07 a.m. (report)
mlaskin, nobody (including the Mayor) says people should park downtown, and then take the streetcar AND bus. What we are saying is that people who are ALREADY downtown (at work, staying in a hotel, living there, or driving in from the 'burbs) who need to travel WITHIN downtown can use it. Additionally, people who can't find reasonably priced parking near their downtown destination could park elsewhere and take the streetcar ($2 round trip, $1 if 65+) to their destination.
Those destinations DO include a university (MSOE), the lakefront (at Brady), and attractions (Bradley Center, Arena, Convention Center, Public Museum, Third Ward, Pabst Theater, Cathedral Square, etc).

Bill Sell | April 27, 2014 at 7:19 p.m. (report)
Milwaukee is not inventing the streetcar; we are late to this modern technology. It works in other cities that have given the streetcar decades of thought and continue to add rail.
What is novel is that WE Energies seems to be stuck in some kind of obsession with promoting fossil fuel gulping cars as the mode of operation downtown, when their mission is to sell electricity and, with new customers like the streetcar, keep our rates down

I agree. A streetcar that goes nowhere. Barrett said people could pay to park downtown, pay to get on the streetcar and then pay to ride a bus to get where they need to from where the street car left you off. Its route services nothing, none of the Universities, no attractions, no Lakefront. What is the use of it?

Some applicants have expressed confusion by what we meant by public support, so I wanted to clarify our plans.
First, as I mentioned in the previous post, we'll be selecting those five based on the total number of likes and reblogs on Tumblr. In addition, in our evaluation of the proposals, we will take into account the conversations taking place on the Tumblr comments page and on Twitter. Tracking more than that is difficult for us. However, if you feel like there are other conversations happening on other networks, please mention and link to them in the comments of your application page - we'll take them into consideration too.

Several weeks ago, ABC News launched the Million Moms Challenge in conjunction with a variety of media partners including mom bloggers. Join me in working with them to improve health for women and children globally. Today, I'm talking about what made pregnancy so difficult for me.
My first pregnancy, when I was 30 years old, ended in a miscarriage right at the 12-week mark. After that, I was saddened and borderline depressed. I wanted to get pregnant again right away. It took several months, but once I was pregnant, I was terrified to lose my baby once again – and that fear was really the most difficult thing I faced in pregnancy.
Pregnancy was never easy for me. When I was 14 weeks pregnant, I went on vacation with my husband and ended up spotting. I had to go to a local hospital for a RhoGam shot and an ultrasound, and was in tears during my entire wait time (which was HOURS). At 20 weeks, I failed my glucose test, but thankfully passed the second, three-hour test. In my ultrasound, the gender of my baby couldn't be determined. And through it all, I just wanted to hit that 40 week mark so I could have my baby.
At 29 weeks, I had a some contractions, and went into the hospital for an ultrasound. At that point, I was diagnosed with oligohydramnios – low amniotic fluid. I was immediately put on left-side-lying bedrest for the duration of my pregnancy. I had to take an immediate leave of absence from my job. Those weeks were difficult – my baby rarely moved in-utero, and I spent every day with my hand on my baby bump, waiting for movements. After weekly ultrasounds and non-stress tests, it was determined that my baby should be delivered early – at 36 weeks via scheduled c-section (because my baby was also breech).
I was scared, but you can only imagine my joy when I delivered a healthy baby girl that didn't need to spend one second in the NICU. She was perfect. Seven years later, I know that the fear I experienced was definitely the worst part of my pregnancy. If I'd only known she was perfect I would have relaxed more.
For those of you who are wondering, yes, I did go on to have another baby, and I didn't have all of the complications with him, thankfully.
Becoming pregnant changed my life, and I'd love to hear more about your best or most difficult pregnancy moments. By replying, you will be entered to win an exclusive Million Moms Challenge Gift Pack, which includes an all expenses paid trip to a conference on mothers hosted by the UN Foundation in DC (Jan/Feb 2012), an iPad2, a custom-made Million Moms Challenge pendant and $50 donation in your name to Global Giving.
Please join the Million Moms Challenge and sign up!
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Million Moms Challenge. The opinions and text are all mine. Contest runs September 19 to October 16, 2011. A random winner will be announced by October 18, 2011.

Smooth Skin
Believe it or not, being dehydrated will actually make your
skin more wrinkly and dry. So in order to avoid looking like a raisin, make
sure your skin cells are gettin' all the water they need to keep your skin
lookin' picture perf.
Nix Your Nibblin'
Drinking more water can actually help you lose weight. The
water fills you up, so you're not craving so much snackage. Plus, it's always
better to drink all-natural, zero-calorie water than sugary, calorie-filled
sodas and sports drinks.
Fight Asthma
If asthmatics don't get enough water, their histamine levels
increase, which means that their airways will be closed down in order to
conserve the liquid that they do have. So to keep those airways open, make that
water bottle your new BFF.
Stay Cool
Water keeps the temperature of your bod stable because it
lets you sweat. If there's not enough fluid in your body, you won't have any
extra to sweat off. And gross as it is, sweating does help you chill out
because the water leaving your skin gives you a cool sensation.
Energize Without the
Cells need water to stay healthy. When you get dehydrated,
they shrivel, which makes your muscles feel tired and weak. That's why it's
extra important to drink lots of water when you're workin' out or playing
Get Well and Stay
Water helps with all kinds of problems, from the flu to
migraines to heart attacks. It also lubricates your joints, so that you're less
likely to sprain things. Best of all, staying hydrated boosts your immune
system so you can avoid getting sick in the first place.

Save life with yoga
March 24, 2011
Vithal C Nadkarni , ET Bureau
When it first appeared, B K S Iyengar's Light on Yoga created a worldwide sensation. Ten years after publication, your columnist took Iyengar's autograph on the hardback in Mumbai. I was interviewing the maestro on the eve of his 60th birthday for The Illustrated Weekly. "I hope my book has inspired you towards yoga," he inscribed the book with characteristic flourish and brio. Thirty years later, we repeated the performance during a personal visit to Iyengar's ashram on Chaturshringi Road in Pune.

Yoga could be introduced as a subject before June 2015
November 22, 2014
AKSHAY DESHMANE , ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: After Sanskrit, it may be yoga's turn. The Modi government's stated emphasis on indigenous subjects for school children could mean the ancient practice may be taught as a subject in all schools. Shripad Naik , India's first 'yoga minister', said he would like yoga to be taught in schools so that the practice is taken up widely and seriously by the younger generations. "If children become habitual to practising yoga from a young age, they are likely to pursue it...
'Crazy West spoiling Yoga name'
April 28, 2007
Bikram and other such yoga experts have downgraded yoga to such an extent that it can't be called Yoga anymore. People in the West do crazy things in the name of yoga because it brings money. Shame on them. Amit Singh, China
Yoga victim of the market?
April 28, 2007
The spiritual sport 'Yoga' has transformed into a a multi-million dollar industry. And in this robust marketplace, the word Yoga is abused to sell merchandising from shoes (despite the fact yoga is to be practiced barefoot) to chakra panties. The original Yoga "rooted in renunciation" has lost the battle to marketing gimmicks, sending the cash registers of companies ringing. But are we being unfair to the traditional school? Do companies need to show greater regard and discretion in using Yogic concepts on...
Ramdev popularises yoga, ayurveda across the globe: Shripad Naik
November 20, 2014
HARIDWAR: Union Minister for Yoga and Traditional Medicine Shripad Naik today credited Ramdev with introducing the world to India's glorious spiritual traditions and its rich past by popularising yoga and ayurveda across the globe. "Pujya swami Ramdev re-established India's cultural superiority over the rest of the world by popularising yoga and ayurveda and waking up everyone to their benefits.

India's UN resolution on Yoga gets backing of about 130 states
November 15, 2014
UNITED NATIONS: In an overwhelming response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for commemorating an International Day of Yoga, about 130 countries have joined as co-sponsors to an India-led UN General Assembly resolution recognising yoga's benefits. The draft resolution for an 'International Day of Yoga' was prepared by India and informal consultations were convened last month by the Indian mission in the UN General Assembly where views on the topic were...
Ultimately, yoga is about freedom
February 8, 2006
Vithal C Nadkarni , TNN
In a recent report on the controversy involving Yogi Ramdev and the Commissar Karat a magazine quotes the renowned yoga master B K S Iyengar who has made yoga popular internationally with his book, Light on Yoga. "This (yoga) is not instant coffee. You need years and years of training and religious dedication," he said. Of course, yoga is not instant coffee just as Tai chi is not satchet tea. Anything that involves assiduous cultivation of the body and mind calls for discipline and dedication.
Yoga gets patent protection finally!
June 6, 2007
NEW DELHI: The government is embarking on an ambitious project to translate ancient Sanskrit scriptures in five foreign languages and send them to patent offices globally to prevent blatant commercial misuse of traditional Indian knowledge such as yoga in the US and other countries. The Department of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) has engaged top institutes such as Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga and Kewal Dham of...
The liberating power of yoga
November 19, 2008
Vithal C Nadkarni , ET Bureau
In The Yoga Journal, Fernando Pages Ruis narrates fascinating nuggets from the biography of the renowned 'father of modern yoga', Sri Thirumala Krishnamacharya, who used to teach in the Mysore Palace before Independence and then in Chennai. But Krishnamacharya's own son, T K V Desikachar, now a world-renowned yogi himself, initially had no interest whatsoever in the ancient art. He used to run away when his celebrated father called him for a session of asanas and pranayama.
Yoga is made in India! Period
May 17, 2007
Yogi Ashwini
As a Yogi I do not get sad at the misfortunes of the modern day man, nor do I get overjoyed at his fortunes. Everything that happens is for a purpose and part of the divine plan. I am drawing readers' attention to the present debate that has started on patenting of yoga. I see it as a redundant exercise from a legal point of view, for my legal expert says that there is a WTO agreement which provides that the cultural heritage and the medicinal plants of a country are...
Bliss is another name for yoga!
July 26, 2007
Twisting body into pretzel-like poses is simply that. It is not yoga. People often think that yoga is all about physical exercise and breath control. They may be reaching this conclusion seeing the poses that a yogi, practitioner of yoga, maintains. The expertise with which a yogi performs and maintains the positions appears to them as yet another kind of physical activity. But this is the last thing yoga was meant to be! It is a far cry from what yoga is all...

NEW DELHI: At a time when corporate houses are setting up gyms on office premises to help their employees stay fit, government officials across the country may get to dip into yoga and pranayam to heal their body and mind.

Back to Basics
October 24, 2014
By Vithal C Nadkarni Death and taxes are the two proverbial certainties. No one can escape 'em, according to conventional wisdom. The Buddha said the same thing, "Sarvam dukham, sarvam anityam( All is pain, all is impermanent)," long before Daniel Defoe did in his The Political History of the Devil. But his insight did not deter the Master from offering a fix. Ditto is the case with sage Patanjali: After declaring "All is suffering for the sage (dukhameva sarva vivekinah)"
US denies granting patents for desi yoga

NEW DELHI: The United States has denied granting patents and trademarks for the ancient Indian practice of yoga, popular among western celebrities, a statement from the US embassy said Tuesday. "Recent media reports alleging that such patents exist are inaccurate," the statement said. The US government has conducted a search of all patents issued and no patent on yoga, "asans" or exercises have been identified, it said. "Although the US...

KUALA LUMPUR: Yoga may soon be outlawed in Malaysia, if a prominent body of clerics which is planning to issue a fatwa on the practice, has its way.

Anand Rangaswamy: Feeling at home, away from home
October 17, 2014
In 2005, I moved to the UK as the first Godrej expatriate. After spending eight years there, I was given the opportunity to head the Latin America and UK cluster earlier this year. This meant I had to relocate to Buenos Aires. Both from a personal and from a professional perspective, I am very lucky to have had the opportunity to live and work in three, totally different cultures. There are big differences, but equally, there are similarities. The first thing that struck me about...

The 128GB SanDisk MicroSDXC Is a Tiny Powerhouse

Ethics Hearings Part Two

For next Wednesday's Atherton Council Meeting, the closed session agenda shows the first item of litigation to be discussed as being yet another lawsuit from Peninsula Pacific Group against the Town, but this time naming "50 John Does" who are to be added to their claim. I can't even tell by the notice what they might be suing for this time around. Does the Almanac know or care to find out?

Kentucky State Auditor Adam Edelen released Thursday morning a special examination of the Shelby County School District. The exam revealed the suspected fraud of the former payroll manager Benita Anglin was limited to the amount already discovered, totaling $593,179.
Anglin was indicted on those chargers on Aug. 20, arrested Aug. 22 and plead not guilty on Sept. 15. Her first court date, a pretrial, has been set for Nov. 3.
Several statements within the exam reveal the lack of oversight on behalf of the district.
Seven years ago Madison Thomas walked onto the state championship golf course as a little kid no one really looked at, but Wednesday she walked off the course with all eyes on her as the 2014 Kentucky State High School girls' golf champion.
"I had seven tries at this and I finally got it," Thomas said. "I really wanted this. It's something I have been after for so long. I am kind of in shock, but it's a great feeling."
Internet service is back up for about 50 Shelby Broadband customers in the Bagdad area due to a tower blown down in a storm Tuesday night.
The internet outage affected customers on Bellview Road, Cropper Road, Eminence Pike and Bagdad Road.
Shelby Broadband owner Chuck Hogg said the tower, which was blown down on top of farmer Paul Hornback's barn on Mulberry Pike at about 3 p.m. Tuesday, was back up by 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
FAC pool to reopen Friday
The indoor pool at the Family Activity Center in Clear Creek Park, which has been closed since Thursday, is expected to be back in operation by Friday. The problem was the pump, which was 12 years old, had broken down and had to be sent for repairs, said Shelby County Parks and Recreation Director Shawn Pickens. He said he expected the pump to be installed today or Thursday and that the pool should reopen shortly afterwards.
Smile Kentucky! offer screenings
A retired Shelby County teacher has written a children's book about the significance of the phenomenon known as a red moon – there was one this morning – but focuses on its spiritual symbolism rather than its scientific significance.
The red moon, or blood moon, as it's sometimes called, is believed by some theologians to be a sign of the End Times, and Karen Standafer said she uses it in her book to illustrate how children can embrace Christianity, using her grandson, Brennen Standafer, as the main character in the book.
Three highly respected Shelby countians were honored Monday night for their humanitarian work by induction into the Shelby County Human Rights Commission's Hall of Fame.
Jeff Johnson, executive director of Operation Care, was honored for his work with that organization, and Harold Tingle and Dorothy Marshall were both honored posthumously.
A sentencing hearing for a former prison guard has been rescheduled – along with many others – after a lightning strike disabled the Shelby County Circuit Court room Monday.
Most of those whose cases were not heard before incident at 9:11 a.m. where moved to Friday's dockets; others were given other dates.
Now that the county's new solid waste facility is finally under roof and its identity is solidifying, so much so that it has now been officially christened.
The Shelby County Recycling facility smells of fresh paint and newness throughout its 30,000 square feet. With workers scurrying around Tuesday, painting the administrative offices, break and conference rooms a pale yellow and truck bays off white, installing overhead roll-up doors and other tasks, Solid Waste Director Rick Solomon glanced around in approval.
Despite the cool temperatures and blistering winds, a record number of cars showed up this year for the Hazardous Waste Disposal Event, hosted by the city of Shelbyville and Shelby County.
For the third year in a row, the city and county organized the event, which offers residents the opportunity to dispose of environmentally dangerous and hazardous products like paint thinners, anti-freeze, fungicides, and kerosene.
This week's Shelby County Board of Education meeting will open up with the installation of two student school board representatives.
Seniors Michael "Steven" Cheppo of Martha Layne Collins High School and Hunter Moore of Shelby County High School will take their seat on the board after being sworn in by Judge Michael Harrod on Thursday at the district's central office located at 1155 Main St. in Shelbyville.

BreakdownNumb. That odd numbness, almost like a dream. A plastic hat danced dizzily above Johns head as the sirens and lights made his head throb."Try not to move, everything's going to be alright," said a voice from above him."As if I could! I wish they'd just tell me what's going on," thought John. Paramedics were running this way and that in an organised panic around the wreck that John had been pried out of with the Jaws of Life. He felt detached from the scene around him, numb to all sensation as they lashed him to the stretcher and pushed him into the bright light of the ambulance. The trip to Beaumont Hospital was a blur to John as he drifted in and out of consciousness. The two medics in the car were busy taking blood pressure and doing other tests which made even less sense to him at the time. The cabin of the ambulance faded out as he saw the medic insert a clear fluid into his arm via a needle which he didn't even feel.***"John

I really like this – this being the Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Empress.
I bought this shade months ago after being inspired by a memory in a Kevyn Aucoin book of a girl in dark lips with glossy skin and lids. It arrived and I kept it in the packaging out of fear, waiting until I grew a pair and felt confident to wear it out.
Well, it happened. I seemingly did in fact grow a pair and today sported this intense aubergine shade.
I love the Opaque Rouge's. I love the slim packaging (it feels well-designed as it makes the applicator easy to control) and all of the colours I have collected (Muse, Riviera and now Empress) have worked out.
Is it drying? Abso-friggin-lutely. It's best to apply on bare lips in order to ensure a strong product bond and as a result there is nothing to act as a barrier and protect. My lips will definitely be treated to a drenching in La Mer lip balm tonight.
Is it long-lasting? Yes and no. Yes the product will stick to your lips for hours but should you excessively down coffee/water (as I do) the inner lip area will start to fade and you will be left with an urgent need to reapply.
Does it emphasise your lips? Yes and that means that all other makeup should be muted (IMO) in order to maximize the focus. As an aside this also means that those of us suffering with a case of the resting bitch face need to turn that frown upside down because this colour really highlights a sourpuss mood.
Would I recommend it? Yes! Now this is quite vamp-tastic but I oddly find this a lot easier to wear out than a classic red.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
We're recycling more
Switch to blue carts from blue boxes paying off: city A good place for throwaways
Winnipeggers recycled more and threw away less in the months following a city-wide changeover from blue boxes to automated carts.
City solid-waste manager Darryl Drohomerski said preliminary results show recycling volumes have increased between 18 and 20 per cent since October. The 240-litre carts hold the equivalent of four blue boxes. Emterra started collecting them from 24,000 households in the city's former AutoBin areas on Aug. 1, and another 165,000 single-family homes switched over on Oct. 1.
Drohomerski said trucks picked up 5,000 additional tonnes of recyclables between October 2012 and March 2013 compared with the same period the previous year -- the equivalent of about 1,200 extra truckloads of recyclables.
He said that's a good sign more city residents are recycling and Winnipeg is on target to improve the amount it diverts from the landfill.
Only about 15 per cent of all waste was diverted from landfills before the changeover -- one of the lowest rates in the country.
Drohomerski said Winnipeg's diversion rate increased to 19 or 20 per cent in 2012, though officials will get a clearer picture in 2013, the first full calendar year of the new collection system.
"We're certainly seeing an increase in material coming in," Drohomerski said Friday. "What we're seeing now is more plastic bottles, more paper, more cardboard. The big one has been plastic. We've seen a lot more plastic bottles."
City officials expected to see a boost in the amount of material recycled under the new collection system, and Winnipeg's waste collector expanded the storage area at the recycling facility so it can handle about a week's worth of recyclables.
There's enough storage space for the recycling facility to stop sorting and processing material for a couple of days, Drohomerski said, and the storage building is usually no more than one-third full. Winnipeg plans to build a brand-new $16-million recycling processing facility in 2017.
Public works chairman Coun. Dan Vandal (St. Boniface) said he's pleased by the increase in recycling and expects Winnipeg will continue to divert more away from the landfill in the coming years.
Initially, the city was bombarded with complaints about the new collection system as the contractor missed pickups and had delays.
"The whole reason we rolled out the new system was to increase recycling and minimize garbage that goes into landfill," Vandal said. "I'm 100 per cent convinced that in the next year we're going to make significant gains in both, and that's great for the environment."

CEDAR CITY — Southern Utah's signing class during Wednesday's National Signing Day was mostly local talent, as the Thunderbirds inked 20 football players from Utah.
"One of the things I think a player can gain from is the certain amount of pride they have in representing their state," Southern Utah coach Ed Lamb said. "And when we go around playing other schools, that means something."
In all, 28 players signed on to play with Southern Utah, a number that includes one junior college signee.
The Thunderbirds' class consists of 11 on defense, including six defensive linemen of which four come from Utah high schools: Kole Afu and Shad Enis (Alta), Rhett Bird (North Sanpete) and Filipe Fifita-Sitake (Mountain View).
Among the 11 signed players on the other side of the ball, five are offensive linemen, including three that played their prep ball in Utah: Jason Brimhall (American Fork), Evan Ross (Fremont) and Spencer Rudolph (Davis).
The offensive group also includes a pair of quarterbacks, two wide receivers — Cole Payne (Orem High) and Martavius Redmond (West Jordan High) — and two running backs.
Two Las Vegas recruits — Malik Brown and 315-pound defensive lineman Peterson Taeao — will play for the Thunderbirds.
"We're super excited to have him with us," Lamb said of Taeao, who also had offers from Houston and UNLV.
Four players are coming from high schools in California, including 335-pound offensive lineman Kyle Donaldson, a junior-college transfer from Orange Coast College in Pacifica, Calif. The Thunderbirds are also getting Austin Young, a 6-5 quarterback from Colfax (Calif.) High. The only other quarterback in this signing class is Anthony Sattiewhite from Ogden High.
Both running backs that signed with SUU won't have to travel far. Christian Taele played at Spanish Fork High, while Brian Scott was at Hurricane High.
Lamb said Scott, who is also the reigning 3A state wrestling champion at 215 pounds, will fit in well.
"He's a great player and a great kid; he really led that Hurricane team. He's a real fighter," Lamb said.
Lamb is excited about how Taele will fit in the T-Birds' backfield.
"He's tremendously versatile," Lamb said. "His strength is really as a receiver out of the backfield, and that really fits what we do."
Three other players — all from St. George — will be playing even closer to home. Desert Hills High teammates Porter Harris and linebacker Mike Needham will both join the Thunderbirds, as will long snapper Kolton Donovan (Pine View High).
Harris, who is also the state triple-jump champion, played quarterback in high school, but will probably play defensive back for the Thunderbirds, Lamb said.
"He's an excellent athlete and a fantastic student," he said.
Sione Fukofuka, a 6-5, 250-pound player with a yet-to-be-determined position, comes to Southern Utah via Liahona High in Nuku'alofa, Tonga.
Once the whole recruiting picture came together, Lamb said he and his staff were pleased.
"I don't really get the chance to see how a class is going to look until one or two days before (signing day), and when I saw it, I was amazed at how many good in-state players we got," he said.
2012 SUU signing class
Kole Afu, Alta HS, Draper 6-2, 240 DL. Earned first team all-region honors.
J.T. Anderson, Layton HS, Layton 6-2, 165 DB. Two-time first-team all-region performer, and second-team all-state in 2011. 14 interceptions in final two years of high school, running three back for touchdowns.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Singer-songwriter Cee Lo Green is postponing a grand arrival to his semi-permanent Las Vegas show after a deadly shooting and car crash shut down much of the tourist corridor.
Officials with the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino said they're working to reschedule the event, which was set for Thursday night.
A car-to-car shooting at a busy Las Vegas intersection prompted a multi-vehicle crash early Thursday morning. Three people died, several were injured, and the street was taped off for the investigation.
A suspect vehicle fled the scene and remains at large.
The "Cee Lo Green Presents Loberace" show is scheduled to start Feb. 27 and run for 28 shows.
Green is a coach on "The Voice." He's also one-half of the duo Gnarls Barkley, which produced the 2006 hit "Crazy."

Starbucks to open its first Tazo tea shop
Starbucks Corp. is planning to open its first tea shop, under its Tazo brand.
AP Food Industry Writer
Starbucks Corp. is planning to open its first tea shop, under its Tazo brand.
The Seattle-based cafe chain says the store will open near its headquarters and will include a tea bar where customers can blend their own tea mixes with the help of a store worker the company is calling a "tea partner."
The store will offer more than 80 varieties of loose-leaf tea, tea lattes and iced teas, as well as packaged chocolates, infused sugars and honeys. Pastries and other food will also be served, as in the company's ubiquitous coffee shops.
It's just the latest move by Starbucks to expand beyond its 17,000 flagship cafes. Earlier this year, for example the company announced plans to open its first Evolution Fresh Inc. juice store.
Starbucks also plans to start selling a single-cup coffee machine this fall that lets people brew lattes and other drinks at home. The company also offers other single-cup options, including K-cups that are compatible with the Keurig systems made by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc.
Starbucks notes that it wants to expand its $1.4 billion Tazo brand, as it has done with coffee.
In its latest quarterly results, Starbucks said that revenue from its consumer products such as ice cream and Tazo teas rose 57 percent from a year earlier.
