Today we're launching Issue Two of PHOTOGRAPH, A Digital Quarterly Magazine for Creative Photographers. It's 122 spreads long, and it's gorgeous! The featured portfolios come from Martin Bailey, Andy Biggs, and Chris Orwig, and are followed up with short interviews.
We have great columns from John Paul Caponigro (Creative Composition), Younes Bounhar (Natural Light), Martin Bailey (The Art of the Print), Chris Orwig (Creativity), Nicole S. Young (Camera Craft), Piet van Den Eynde (Before + After), Al Smith (Gear is Good), Jay Goodrich (Inscape), and Kevin Clark (The Studio Sketchbook). My regular column called Without The Camera focuses on Capturing the Moment; I also wrote this issue's featured article, Missing The Shot. Download the Table of Contents.
If you got the last issue, you know how proud we are of this. We've taken our time on this and made something really beautiful. Your response has been completely overwhelming. For those that haven't seen it yet, the magazine is ad-free and will always be ad-free. It's quarterly, not monthly, so we can concentrate on making something truly worthwhile and beautiful. And because we believe in being part of the solution, not part of the problem, we're paying our authors and our photographers, and we're proud of that.
We've always been, and will always be, champions of the amateurs, the ones who do this for the love of it, we're committed to profiling photographers who you already know and look up to as well as those you've not, and giving you a chance to submit your work too.
[hana-code-insert name='BUY – PQ 2′ /]
Photography, like any creative endeavour, is about creating and sharing, and we wanted to create a platform where that can happen alongside solid education about both the craft, and art, of photography. PHOTOGRAPH, Issue Two is available now through Craft & Vision, as a PDF download, for USD$8.

One Direction Bandmates "At Each Other's Throats" — Who's Fighting?
Could One Direction be going the way of the Jonas Brothers? There are two more 1Ders than there are J-Bros and they're not bound by any bonds of blood, so when we hear a couple of the members are scuffling we get a little worried.
So who's fighting in the group? That be Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson. The the 20-year-old and nearly 22-year-old aired their struggles in an extra clip from the band's new movie, This Is Us.
"We used to be at each other's throats while we were on The X Factor [UK]," Louis says. "He took it so, so seriously."
Whenever Louis would look to stir up something "slightly mischievous", he says Liam would always "be the daddy." That's how the middle-child of 1D ended up with the nickname "Daddy Direction."
But even Daddy can lose his patience. "We did not get on at all," Liam says of Louis. "We were two completely different characters." One time the group's oldest member and his "loud and bubbly" personality got on Liam's nerves so much "I literally wanted to whack him."
Thankfully, the two have since found common ground or, as Zayn Malik puts it, the other members have "corrupted" Daddy Direction a little bit. Whatever it takes to keep you boys together.

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,968 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
Editor's Note: The following comes to us from David Dupee, founder of crowdfunding platform CraftFund. Dupee writes in to explore the psychology that drives crowfunding, specifically examining millennials' investing behavior. Follow the platform's progress on Twitter @CraftFund.
The JOBS Act has been hailed as an opportunity for the average investor to invest in the next Facebook and yield the kind of financial returns once only available to angel and accredited investors.
Based on reports, the SEC's delay in finalizing regulations is due to investor protection issues and concerns of fraud, a concern which is largely premised on the assumption that investors are primarily motivated by a financial return. While financial returns will certainly motivate equity crowdfunding, I believe that equity crowdfunding will be driven just as much by a desire to engage and belong. There are two reasons for this:
First, the prospect of significant financial returns are tempered by the strict investment caps Congress wrote into the JOBS Act that will limit most Americans to between $2000-$5000 in crowdfund investments per year. Most returns on this kind of investment will be modest, which suggests that many won't choose to invest simply to become rich.
Those with higher net worth ("accredited investors") will be able to invest much larger amounts and could be enticed primarily by significant returns, but this is a very small percentage of total investors and a group that already can make these investments.
Second, as the most active group on current crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, tech savvy millennials are expected to be the key demographic for equity crowdfunding. Millennials approach investments differently than older generations. It is well documented that mutual funds and other traditional investment models have struggled to attract the millennial group that seems to favor more customized and participatory options. For this reason, millennials will be more likely to view equity crowdfunding as an experience as much as an investment.
Scottish brewery BrewDog perfectly illustrates how equity crowdfunding is motivated by both a financial return and a desire to belong. Needing money to finance expansion, BrewDog recently turned to craft beer lovers, a crowd heavily populated by millennials.
Termed "Equity for Punks", BrewDog sold two rounds of shares to the public through an online mechanism. In the second round the brewery offered 90,000 B shares to the general public with a minimum investment of 4 shares for £95. The campaign was an incredible success and sold out within 6 months, raising over £2 million from nearly 6000 investors. In return for the investment, BrewDog offered a financial return as one component of a broader membership experience that included the following:
The average investor invested more (£372) than the minimum £95 investment amount, suggesting membership in the community was not the sole motivating factor and that investors were at least in part motivated by the prospect of a financial return.
However, it is striking that most of the perks offered were experiential and psychological in nature. Indeed, in its recent article on crowdfunding, the Harvard Business Review studied BrewDog's campaign and concluded that the excitement it generated "was as much about belonging somewhere as it was about money."
BrewDog's "Equity for Punks" campaign provides helpful insight into the psychology of equity crowdfunding. Here in the U.S., there are over 2000 breweries and many other small businesses in desperate need of an alternative source of capital to help finance expansion. At the same time, there are also millions of potential investors looking to connect with and become a part of their favorite brands.
The likelihood that equity crowdfunding will challenge traditional assumptions about return on investment should frame our discussion of investor protection and other issues related to this exciting new source of capital formation.

Selecting the 2016 Panthers Wide Receivers
Mage replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina PanthersSorry if it has already been discussed in this thread, didn't read all of the pages, but doesn't Stephen Hill still have to serve a one game suspension from last year (was on IR)?
Philly Brown had shoulder surgery
Mage replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina PanthersI really don't see Brown getting cut. It's not a 100% guarantee, but it'd shock me.
Panthers Select Zack Sanchez CB Oklahoma in the 5th Round
Mage replied to bobsfoodbasics's topic in Carolina PanthersPeople also need to remember that we still have a lot of money to spend if we want to pick someone up off the free agency market. Gettleman's proven he is willing to do that and we are closing in on the deadline where it won't affect our comp pick next year. So for those of you begging we add something to our offense, it's not too late for that.
Option A: Norman, Darian Thompson, Braxton Miller; Option B: No Norman, James Bradbury, Daryl Worley
Mage replied to Sam Mills Fan's topic in Carolina PanthersThe scenario involving Norman is easily the better one for 2016. It's not a fair question. It makes it seem like our decision was just limited to 2016. Bradberry and Worley, along with deciding not to sign Norman to a long-term contract, go far beyond just a single season.
Option A: Norman, Darian Thompson, Braxton Miller; Option B: No Norman, James Bradbury, Daryl Worley
Mage replied to Sam Mills Fan's topic in Carolina PanthersNo offense, but this is a ridiculous question.
Rapoport: Panthers Looking at Quarterbacks
Mage replied to bobsfoodbasics's topic in Carolina PanthersMan, the rage that will ensue on the Huddle if we draft a quarterback in the 2nd round.
Mage replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina PanthersThere is no way in the world we pick that early.
Your final predictions (#30)
Mage replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina PanthersI think it'll be Vernon Butler
It is draft week people... look alive...
Mage replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina PanthersFor some reason, I thought the draft started Friday. Thursday is PERFECT. I have the night off Thursday/Friday, don't mind missing Saturday plus that begins early in the day anyway so I'll still be able to catch it. Sucks the draft is on finals week though.
The schedule
Mage replied to ladypanther's topic in Carolina PanthersDo teams usually do anything different when they have to travel to play West Coast teams back to back? Seems like it would be illogical for us to come back to Carolina but I don't know the NFL rules and if we'd be allowed to stay out there.
What number do you guys think Derrick Henry will wear for the Panthers?
Mage replied to 15's topic in Carolina PanthersHenry averaged 5.6 YPC on nearly 400 carries at Alabama. How was he a volume back? He isn't as good as Gurley as a prospect, but anyone expecting to get a top tier prospect at the 30th pick is expecting too much. I know a lot of people like to hate on Henry, almost primarily because he played at Alabama (and people have to stop letting Richardson cloud their judgement - recent Bama backs have been pretty damn good, and all of them were lesser prospects and athletes than Henry), so I shouldn't bother getting into a debate about it again. I'll just say that while I question his durability or if he is the best route we should take at our pick, I have very little doubt about what he could provide to our team.
Panthers working out WVU Corner... oh Squirrel....
Mage replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina PanthersTeams in the NFL aren't going to care much about this (not saying it is right or wrong) as long as it isn't bringing bad publicity. And since the general public hasn't heard of this guy, thus probably hasn't even heard of the incident, this isn't going to prevent the Panthers from drafting him if they like him enough. Same with like Terrell Suggs. Dude has a sketchy history but nobody cares so it isn't something they are going to worry about much. Lets not forget that Greg Hardy only got suspended/deactivated/whatever you want to call it because of public outcry when the Ray Rice video came out, nobody other than Panthers fans even peeped a word about it beforehand. If we like him and he is at the top of our board in the later rounds, this incident won't stop us from drafting him. What we will do is just check out his character and ask him what happened, so it'll play a role in the interview process.
Carolina Panthers will target offense in round one
Mage replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina PanthersI've thought it would be Derrick Henry for awhile now. He is exactly the kind of guy Gettleman would take. His potential for injury due to his height scares me, but I love him as a talent.
Kuechly a bust? One Bucs fan thought so
Mage replied to Dick the Butcher's topic in Carolina PanthersThe only thing I realized by reading that thread is how much better this site's layout is than just about every other team/fan site I see. I would get sick of posting there after awhile.
Panthers ink Boykin
Mage replied to 15's topic in Carolina PanthersFor some reason I completely forgot about Ed Dickson. His contract is dirt cheap (relatively speaking).

Blade: Trinity (2004)
Blade: Trinity SynopsisDavid Goyers pen has made Blade a success. Isnt it about time he got more of the credit? Hell get his chance with the third franchise installment Blade: Trinity. New Line Cinema has taken a bit of a risk and planted him in the directors chair. He doesnt bring with him the impressive directing resume of Guillermo del Toro (in fact hes never directed anything) but theres no denying at this point that he knows the character better than just about anyone.
Amidst rumors of continuing conflict with Wesley Snipes and tangible set stress, it looks like Trinity may actually be a success. The trailers are an eye-popping blast. Each new bit of footage only looks more wild and exciting than the last. Blade remains the role Wesley Snipes was born to play. Like Chris Reeves as Superman, or Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, he inhabits the character in an immediately iconic way.
Its just a shame that Snipes attitude is so bad that hes become by almost all accounts impossible to work with. Because of that, no matter how big a success the third movie is, this is probably the last well see of the franchise in this form. But that doesnt mean its entirely dead after Blade: Trinity. Trinity will introduce Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel as Blades vampire hunting teammates. Rumor has it that New Line execs are so impressed with the pair theyre already planning a Mork & Mindy style spinoff.
For me, Id rather see Wesley get his act together and keep right on playing Blade. Its not like hes going to be doing anything else.

Opposition chairman says hundreds of thousands of Israelis searching or ways to move abroad in light of grim political situation in country, government's lack of vision
Attila Somfalvi
Published: 08.12.09, 22:36 / Israel News
Attila Somfalvi
The Israeli public has lost all hope in light of the political situation in the country, opposition leader Tzipi Livni
said Wednesday evening.
"I see the despair of many Israelis. Hundreds of thousands see what is happening and arrange for a foreign passport, send their children to study abroad and even buy a house overseas," Livni told hundreds of Kadima MKs and activists at a gathering in Tirat Hacarmel.
"I know many of you have come ere tonight because they care, not only about Kadima
as a party, but also about the State of Israel.
I know you too share what a great part of the Israeli public feels – desperation," she said.
"Only four months have passed since the establishment of the government. In other places this is usually a period of hope, prosperity, and vision. Instead, since the day this government took office, with its dozens of ministers and deputy ministers, the public has realized that its sole objective was political survival."

2 other places also searched in 9-hr raids in Tricity.
A couple of months after it had hit the headlines, the Instacon building which was built in 48 hours finds itself under the scanner of the Income Tax Department following a raid on Friday. Simultaneously, raids were conducted in three other places in the Tricity. During the nine-hour-long raids, the officials seized documents of hotels and IT companies.
Instacon, the 10-story building built by a resident of Chandigarh, Harpal Singh, was targeted by the income tax officials. The officials said they had seized certain documents which would be scrutinised by the officials over the next two days.
Another of Singhs asset, the JW Marriot, Sector 35, was also on the list.
Spokesperson of Harpal Singhs Synergy Thrislington claimed that it was just a routine check. The I-T officials came for two-three hours and left after they cross-checked all the documents, he said.
Apart from this, a raid was also conducted at the IEC Gensets, power solution providers based in Sector 26. There was another raid at city-based builder C S Modis residence in Sector 19. However, the builders family claimed that the raid in Sector 19 could not happen as the builder was not in town. But the I-T officials confirmed the raid.
The raids were conducted for nearly nine hours at all the places. The local police had also been involved in the raids. They had blocked the way to the places where the raids took place. In all, there were 13 raids in the entire northern region, including the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Computers, smartphones, digital tablets, e-readers and the Internet have taken over in our homes and altered how families communicate with each other. According to a 2010 Kaiser Family Report, kids between 8 and 18 spend more time on their electronic devices than on any other activity besides (maybe) sleeping — an average of seven and a half hours a day. Their love affair with tech is often mirrored by their parents, who are missing in action while carrying on cellphone conversations, texting or sorting through emails.
Catherine Steiner-Adair, an internationally recognized clinical psychologist, consultant and educator, is convinced that "the digitalized life we now take for granted is taking a far greater toll on family cohesion and childhood itself than we imagine." Her book, written with Teresa H. Barker, is highly recommended for plugged-in parents who want to find creative ways of handling family life when everybody is immersed in the digital world (HarperCollins).

In 2010, after Ryan Howard was caught looking at a Brian Wilson cutter, I got a call from my dad's cellphone. When I picked up and said, "Hey dad…" my stepmom, Karen, answered with, "WE'RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!"
I couldn't believe it.
Err, could you repeat yourself, please?
Suddenly, a pretty amazing night got a whole lot better.
It turned out that my dad and Karen had been celebrating the pennant-clinching win with a little zinfandel, which led Karen to get swept up in the moment, run upstairs and buy tickets. It wasn't until later that night that she realized that the Game 1 tickets she bought were $500 per seat, not a total of $500 for four tickets in Section 138, Row 22 in the left field bleachers, about 15 rows back from where Juan Uribe's home run landed.
In a related story, when I talked to my dad on the phone last night after the game, one of my first questions was whether they were having another zinfandel night. No dice, unfortunately.
2012 World Series tickets: still expensive
The good news when it comes to ticket prices: based on the lowest priced tickets for the upcoming World Series series between the San Francisco Giants and Detroit Tigers, prices haven't risen much.
The bad news: World Series ticket prices were pretty darned high in 2010.
I'm not sure which site Karen used to buy those tickets back in 2010 (or if her quoted price of $500 each included fees), but here are some things I found while messing around on Stubhub a little at 4:30 pm on Tuesday afternoon.
- Tickets start at $289 for Standing Room Only for Game 1 at AT&T Park.
- That minimum rises to $365 for Game 2, $419 for Game 6 and $638 for Game 7 — before extra handling and convenience charges, which with tickets this expensive can get quite lofty.
- Ticket prices for Games 1 and 2 have fallen a bit today, while prices for Games 6 and 7 have risen slightly.
- If you want two or more tickets together that give you the right to sit down once in a while — when you aren't cheering or dancing to Gangnam Style, that is — the best one could do for Game 1 (again, at 4:30 pm on Tuesday) is $350 each for two seats in View Reserved 334, the section in left field next to the auxiliary press area.
- For Game 1, over 500 of the nearly 2,200 resellers are listing their tickets at $1,000 each or more.
- For Game 7, fewer than 500 of the nearly 1,700 resellers have their tickets priced under $1,000 apiece.
Cheaper in Detroit, right?
Actually, they aren't. San Francisco might have rents that dwarf most mortgages in Detroit (and most of the rest of the country, for that matter), but Tigers fans have been saving their money for World Series tickets. Hopefully they have been, because the lowest price for a SRO ticket at Comerica Park can be had for the bargain price of $364 in Game 3. Those minimums move up to $420 in Game 4 and $389 in Game 5.
Want a place where you can park your behind in Detroit? Get ready to cough up $420 for a seat in the Bleachers, Upper Deck or Mezzanine for Game 3. The best deal at Comerica might actually be during Justin Verlander's start in Game 5, where you can get a ticket with a seat attached for around $400. There are almost twice as many tickets currently available for Game 5 (about 9,200) than either of the first two games, probably because Game 5 is on Monday.
Weather concerns
The storm that flooded the field during the 9th inning of the Giants' Game 7 win looks like it'll be a distant memory by the time Barry Zito throws the first pitch in Game 1, as the weather locally will revert back to normal for late October around here.
In Detroit, it's actually pretty warm right now. Low 70's, and Tigers fans are currently skipping through the streets in t-shirts and shorts as you read this. But by the time both teams take the field in Game 3, everyone will see their breath in the frigid Detroit air.
Tim Lincecum weather, perhaps?

Surma tribe, Omo Valley, Ethiopia
The Omo River Valley is located in Southwest Ethiopia.
It has been called "the last frontier" in Africa.
There are nine main tribes that occupy the Omo River Valley,
with a population of approximately 225,000 tribal peoples.
The majority of the people living in the Omo River Valley
live without clean drinking water and without medical care.
It has been a privilege to go back to the Omo Valley in Ethiopia
with my friend, John Rowe, to photograph the work he is doing with Lale Labuko
in their mission to end the practice of mingi and to house and
shelter the mingi children who have already been rescued.
Lale, a 2013 National Geographic Emerging Explorer,
learned about the practice of Mingi and made it his life's
mission to end ritual infanticide in his tribe's culture.
Mingi is the ritualistic killing of infants and children who are Mingi
because they are considered impure or cursed.
A child can be mingi for many reasons, but once they are mingi they are
left alone in the desert without food and water or drowned in a river.
I met John in Burma. He is a photographer and
successful businessman who has founded companies
which develop software for digital media and the entertainment
industry. He has also devoted a tremendous amount of time, energy, and
financial assistance to the work of Omo Child.
The hope is that the rescued children will be future leaders in their communities and
will help raise awareness to help advocate the ending of the tribal practice of mingi.

2013 is officially only a memory -- though for many folks in the independent film world, it should be a happy one. Comparatively, this year had more $20 million grossers (six vs. last year's four), $10 million grossers (12 vs. 10) and $5 million grossers (23 vs. 18) than 2012 did when it came to the specialty box office.
READ MORE: The 30 Highest Grossing Indies of 2013
Led by Lionsgate and Pantelion's massive Spanish-language hit "Instructions Not Included," this year's biggest hits were a refreshingly diverse mix (certainly compared to the studios), with the top 10 including four films with female leads (two of whom were over 75 years old!), two films with black leads and one with a Latino lead. Wait, that's nearly representative of the actual public -- a public that clearly turned to the specialty market in 2013 to find films actually representing themselves. And here are 10 success stories that resulted from their cinematic decisions:
1. Pantelion and "Instructions Not Included"
There was no specialty box office success story in 2013 like Panetlion Films' "Instructions Not Included." The film -- which tells the story of Valentin (played by director Eugenio Derbez), a former playboy who is forced to change his ways when an ex-girlfriend leaves a baby on his doorstep and takes off without a trace -- clearly made a huge impression with the grossly underserved Hispanic market.
After opening with a massive $7,500,000 from 347 theaters for a jaw-dropping $21,614 average, the film went on to gross $44.5 million. That not only topped "12 Years a Slave" and "Blue Jasmine" as the highest grossing specialty release of 2013, but beat out "Pan's Labyrinth" to become the highest grossing Spanish-language film ever at the domestic box office. It is now one of the four highest-grossing foreign-language films ever in the U.S., ranking behind only "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (Taiwan), "Life is Beautiful" (Italy) and "Hero" (China).
The film marked a big moment for Pantetlion, which is a partnership between Lionsgate and Videocine established in 2010. Aiming to provide Hispanic moviegoers with "a steady source of exciting and original films, which include top-rated Latino actors, directors and writers," the company not only had huge success with "Instructions," but also had a $5.9 million grosser with "Pulling Strings." And notably, both films got a very rare "A+" Cinemascore from filmgoers.
2. "12 Years a Slave"
After opening to a $48,617 average from 19 theaters, Steve McQueen's Solomon Northup biopic "12 Years a Slave" has spent 12 weekends averaging over $1,000 per theater, boosting up above $2,000 the last two weekends thanks to its mammoth awards season haul so far. While the $38 million Steve McQueen's "12 Years a Slave" has now grossed could be seen in comparison to many recent major Oscar contenders as mildly underwhelming, when one considers the hardly marketable content (a dark, sometimes brutal exploration of slavery), its $20 million budget, and the fact that there could be a good $10-20 million where that came from once the Oscar nominations come out, "12 Years" stands firmly in the success story column (and should end up topping the aforementioned "Instructions" as the year's highest grossing specialty film by the end of January).
3. "20 Feet From Stardom"
From "12 Years" to "20 Feet," upstart RADiUS-TWC found its first major theatrical hit in Morgan Neville's "20 Feet From Stardom," which was far and away the highest grossing documentary of 2013 (and among the 40 highest grossing of all time). Things started out strong but unspectacular for the backup singer doc, which averaged $18,199 from three theaters in its first weekend. But then the film rather remarkably held up in theaters for 30 weeks (its actually still playing in five), taking its total to $4.8 million. That made it the highest grosser ever for RADiUS, which typically puts focus on digital releases, but made "20 Feet" its first exclusively theatrical film. It definitely paid off.
4. "Blue Jasmine" and the continuing box office might of Woody Allen.
Sony Classics decided to opt out of the festival circuit entirely with Woody Allen's latest, which made some wonder if it was critically more of a "To Rome With Love" than a "Midnight in Paris." The former managed decent box office despite negative reviews, while the latter soared to a Woody Allen record after opening Cannes to strong ones. But come July, "Blue Jasmine" opened to good notices (particularly for Cate Blanchett, who is the frontrunner to win the best actress Oscar) and arguably even better box office (without the added cost of heading to festivals). It averaged a stunning $102,011 per theater in its first weekend, going on to gross over $33 million. That's the fifth best gross for an Allen film, after "Midnight in Paris," "Hannah and Her Sisters," "Manhattan" and "Annie Hall," and makes it clear that Sony Classics has figured out a strategy to maximize Woody's potential: As summer counterprogramming to blockbluster fare.

Civil disagreements with Lynne Varner and Bruce Ramsey, members of the Seattle Times editorial board is a weekly feature of the Ed Cetera blog. Bruce and Lynne often disagree on major issues — Bruce tends more conservative and Lynne more liberal. As foils in editorial board meetings, their shrewd thinking and passionate arguing elevates the discussion and they agree sharpens their own arguments.
Lynne Varner: Bruce, the most common complaint about the H-1B visa program is that it brings in foreign workers, mainly for computer programming and engineering, at the expense of U.S. workers skilled in those areas. But here's something else. According to this story, Seattle ranked ninth in H-1B visa requests per 1,000 workers over the past two years, but 64th per capita in workforce grant money generated by visa fees.

Here's how the grant program works. Companies pay anywhere from $1,500 to $5,500 to apply for visas for foreigners with special skills. The money goes into a federal fund and distributed to states through a competitive grant process to pay for training U.S. workers, some for jobs similar to ones held by H1-B visa recipients. About $1 billion in H-1B visa fees has gone out to states for skills training since 2001. We got about $2 million of it.
Asia produces more than half of the world's engineering bachelor's degrees. Our companies will continue to look overseas until we can come close to Asia's production.
Microsoft is the biggest user of the program. Amazon ranks high.
Bruce, I think we should be getting more money. We should be, not just because our companies put more into the fund – that proportional distribution argument is gaining popularity by the way – but because our region can demonstrate an economic urgency and need for the money. Amazon and other companies can't hire skilled workers fast enough and it helps the bottom line if they can hire some from nearby.Microsoft has more than 5,100 open jobs in the U.S. I love the educated, vibrant diversity of this region but I also want people here to aspire to those jobs. Hence the special emphasis by local schools on science, technology, engineering and math studies.
The H-1B visa study by the Brookings Institution raises plenty of questions that ought to result in more conversations at the federal level. The Washington, D.C. think tank sponsored this chat on the topic. that is worth checking out.
Bruce Ramsey: Lynne, I just can't get worked up over this story, which is that Microsoft, Amazon, the UW, et. al., generate a lot of H1-B money for the federal government, but that it spends the money in places like Wichita, Kansas. So what? Maybe the money is better spent in Kansas. Maybe it isn't. Maybe it would be better in lowering the national debt. The story doesn't inquire in that direction.
What irritates me is the begging from the government. It's people saying, "We're not getting our share. Spend more money on us." Americans have to quit relying on the federal government to pay for things. (Just today we heard a pitch for Seattle's central waterfront plan, and it was stated that there is a federal responsibility for the sea wall.)
The public's comments on the news story focus on the H1-B program itself. A common theme is that companies bring in foreigners because they are cheap, and that all these companies ought to be forced to hire Americans. I don't buy this argument. A company like Microsoft is in global competition. It needs to be able to recruit for high-brainpower jobs from a global labor pool. They will hire people from India; if they can't bring them here, they will take the work there. Better to allow some of them to come here under a regulated system such as the H1-B. If they are wanted badly enough, we should let them stay here. It improves the gene pool.

Work Like a Dog Day
Monday, August 05, 2013
Work Like a Dog Day
When : August 5th
Work Like a Dog Day honors and recognizes the hardest working among us.
Some people skate by, doing as little as possible. Others, do only what they have to. Others still work like a dog. While work is to be done, they dig in relentlessly. They seldom take a break until the task is completed.
We want to make sure to differentiate between "Work-A-Holics" and those who "Work Like a Dog". Work-A-Holics are always working, even though they may not be working hard. Those who work like a dog, work very hard while they are working. But, they do not work all of the time.
Today is a day to show appreciation for those who carry more than their load, and work like a dog. You can also honor them by working like a dog today.
The Origin of Work Like a Dog Day:

We all know it's hot. And chances are it may get hotter before summer ends. In Arkansas there is no better way to beat the heat than to go swimming in one of the many lakes and rivers. Not all are conducive to safe swimming however. Those with beaches are the most swimmer-friendly.
We also have a list of some of the favorite old-fashioned swimmin' holes in Arkansas. It's great fun for the kids and if you're an adult, it makes you feel like a youngster again.

Small Cool 2009: emilyjoyce's Separate Spaces
Teeny-tiny Division #21
Who Lives Here: emilyjoyce
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Size: 273 square feet
What is your one favorite element in your small, cool home? All of my furniture is second hand, either from family, thrift stores or craigslist. Even though the apartment is small it has a great layout and plenty of storage. The "separate" kitchen is what sold me.

What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your small home? Creating a space that is welcoming, spacious, and well designed. This was a challenge with such a small studio. I tried to create separate seating areas in the room so that i could have a variety of options and be able to have guests.

Hard to locate older topics (search?)
Now that the new forums are getting busy with lots of topics spread over many categories, I am running into a worsening problem - finding older topics/posts! Once the latest/greatest four scroll off the home page, you are really out of luck. What compounds this problem is the topics can overlap somewhat, and posts could potentially be placed in several categories, its up to the original poster's preference. I am not a mind reader, so sometimes I miss the category and have to go looking around, and with slow internet sometimes, its becoming an issue to find things.
I do not see any obvious search feature in the forums? I think a search box would solve the problem.
Mike LMK
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the input! A search box located within the forum pages is an idea that we will certainly consider putting into place.
In the meanwhile there are a couple of options:
- If you go to the site's search page (either by clicking on "search" in the top left corner of any page or by just going directly to: http://www.aavso.org/search/node/) you will see an advanced search link in blue right below the search box. If you expand that, you will see lots of search options - including searching only in forum posts.)
- You can take a short cut and avoid having to go to this page by typing the following into the search box located at the top of all AAVSO webpages:
type:forum word
where "word" is the term you'd like to search for within the forums.
For example, if you enter
type:forum search
into the search box, this post is one of the first few items returned in the results.
I hope this helps for now as we determine what the best solution is for searching the forums!
Take care,
Thanks for answering Mike's question, as I was just about to ask the same questrion myself.

Okay here it is, what most people want in their CPU can be found in either one of these CPUs. They both function flawlessly and stable on their respected platforms and offer top notch performance for the user with only a few differences in the overall perspective. Let's talk about motherboards and platform support for a moment, the AMD FX-53 has a very narrow motherboard selection that although growing cannot even touch the tips of the iceberg of how many boards support the 3.4 XE. That said, I was more impressed with the FX-53 than the P4 as far as CPU performance was in the overall picture. I have to say it, this FX-53 kicks major ass as far as a work horse CPU. Don't get me wrong the P4 3.4 XE is a really great CPU as well but AMD in my eyes has done an outstanding job here in finally "really" catching up and competing with Intel in the desktop platform arena.
Games and amazingly SYSmark 2004 ran faster on the FX-53 and was one aspect of the tests that really impressed me as usually AMD has always historically been beaten by the Intel platform for some reason or another. SYSmark 2004 is a test that uses real world software applications and other media based tests to determine a CPU's ability to perform in real time and shows the FX-53 to be a very compatible and performance savvy CPU for the desktop. Another thing I really like about the new AMD chips in general is their new design that follows Intel in offering a CPU that cannot have its die crushed by simply putting to much pressure on the chip when installing a new heatsink and fan.
The whole 64-Bit thing although an outstanding technical leap is still very young and is more at this point a cool thing for the future programmer or tinkering geek than an appealing feature for the gamer or enthusiast crowd. Both of these chips as well as being the kings of speed and performance are also the most expensive with both chips coming into market at over the $700.00 range. The Intel chip is still in the higher price range as it will market debut at about $950.00, while the FX-53 will be priced around $733.00 a fairly wide margin of over $200.00. My final analysis is this; If you are building a new system and do not own a board for either the AMD or Intel platform the AMD FX-53 is a better buy when doing dollar to dollar comparisons and is a bit faster in many tests. On the other hand if you already own an Intel board I would not change platforms, I would just buy the 3.4XE and be happy. There you have it in a few words folks; I hope this review was helpful to you and helps you decide what is best for you, until net time.

Filmed three years ago, and set for release more than a year ago, "Mindhunters" proves hardly worth the wait. While a report last summer that Dimension had decided to send the pic direct to vid was premature, its release in U.S. theaters nearly a year after a quiet bow in limited Euro and Latin American territories will likely only delay the inevitably quick exit to ancillary.
Filmed three years ago, and set for release more than a year ago, "Mindhunters" proves hardly worth the wait. While a report last summer that Dimension had decided to send the pic direct to vid was premature, its release in U.S. theaters nearly a year after a quiet bow in limited Euro and Latin American territories will likely only delay the inevitably quick exit to ancillary; this ridiculous would-be thriller about FBI profiler trainees trapped in a match to the death will scare up few bodies in theaters.To put the release delay in perspective, after finishing their work on this film, co-star LL Cool J acted in 2003's "S.W.A.T." and director Renny Harlin re-shot "The Exorcist: The Beginning." Harlan may have been hoping that by re-teaming with Cool J (who is also credited here by his proper name, James Todd Smith, and who worked with the director on 1999's "Deep Blue Sea") "Mindhunters" would revisit that thriller's worthwhile conceit of characters trapped in isolation. Instead, the best Wayne Kramer's and Kevin Brodbin's script can conjure is yet another replay of "Ten Little Indians," with an FBI agent going murderously off the reservation and killing his own group. An apparent raid on a serial killer's house by trainee-agents J.D. (Christian Slater) and Sara (Kathryn Morris) is just a simulation by eccentric teacher Jake Harris (Val Kilmer), driving home the fine points of profiling. Sara and fellow student Vince (Clifton Collins Jr.) are getting signs they won't graduate, while the rest of their class has long concluded that Harris' sadistic pedagogy is just a little too weird for the bureau. The long-locked Kilmer, on screen for what amounts to a glorified cameo, resembles a late 19th century Parisian artist more than an FBI man, and his last assignment, to send his pupils to an isolated bunker on Oniega Island off the Virginia shore resembles something out of a frustrated novelist's workbook more than a bonafide test. Joined by Gabe (Cool J), who's said to be with the Philly P.D. and just here as an observer, the crew discovers a tiny island dominated by a concrete structure and a backlot-type set of an all-American town that curiously resembles the town center of Thomas Vinterberg's "Dear Wendy." Harris departs with a warning that they'll soon be visited by "The Puppeteer," a fictitious serial killer they must hunt and subdue. Team is full of clean-cut guys like Bobby (Eion Bailey), Rafe (Will Kemp) and Lucas (Jonny Lee Miller), with J.D. assigned as leader and Sara joined by another, feistier gal, Nicole (Patricia Velasquez). But next day's class goes lethal quickly, as J.D. is killed, care of a Rube Goldberg-like contraption that would have taken weeks to prepare. Exploding boats and chemically altered cups of joe kill off more students, all cued by the killer's penchant for leaving watches set at the appointed time of murder. With no ideas in its very little mind, "Mindhunters" soon becomes a document of a sick person's taste for bizarre engineering and gory death, with the assumption that supposedly well-trained FBI agents will simply step into his carefully laid traps. Conveniently, Sara suddenly blossoms as a true profiler, gradually racking up clues and forming a picture of a killer intent on exploiting each person's weaknesses. The script exploits every tired cabin-fever cliche, including group members pointing guns in each other's faces at a moment's notice. The script substitutes device for suspense with four suspects — and one of them twice –appearing to be the culprit at one time or another. The illogic of the situation is so extreme that the final confrontation plays like an afterthought. Miraculously, Morris emerges fairly unscathed, which isn't the case with her luckless cast members, most of whom have terrible lines, die painfully and are last seen in dreadfully plastic-looking dead person makeup. Harlin seems to have forgotten what made Cool J so refreshingly funny in "Deep Blue Sea," and leaves him stranded with bland, tough-guy scenes. Miller's character makes as little sense as the actor's changing dialect. Pic's tech work won't be hurt on video. While Robert Gantz's widescreen lensing will lose something in the transition, sub-par production values won't look half so bad. And one can remotely lower the volume button in the living room so that composer Tuomas Kantelinen's bombastic score isn't quite so ear-splitting.

EXCLUSIVE Interview: Bong Joon-ho On The Weinsteins, Tarantino And SNOWPIERCER (Part 1 of 3)
One of the best - and for the vast majority of people still hotly-anticipated - films of the year is Bong Joon-ho's fantastic science fiction thriller, Snowpiercer, in which the sole survivors of a nuclear winter reside within a single train, and attempt to overthrow the totalitarian rulers who control its engine.
Last week, Bong made a brief stop-over in Hong Kong, where he gave a few interviews to help market Snowpiercer's debut later this month as the closing film of the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival, before it goes on general release on 28 November. Much has been discussed on Twitch perhaps more than anywhere else about the decision made by The Weinstein Company (who will be distributing the film in North America, the UK and much of the English-speaking world) to cut the film ahead of release.
I was thrilled to secure a whole hour with the director for a one-on-one interview, and was determined to get to the bottom of all the hearsay and gossip. Exactly what do the Weinsteins want to change, how involved will Bong be in that process, and just what was Quentin Tarantino doing at the Busan International Film Festival last month?
Twitch - As you know we've been writing a lot about SNOWPIERCER already on Twitch, and in particular one aspect that's quite possibly not your favourite subject. But I'd like to ask you about TWC and what's going on regarding recutting the film.
Bong Joon-ho - It's still going on. Some aspects are a little bit exaggerated. Some people misunderstood that there already exists a North American version with 20 minutes cut out. But that kind of version doesn't exist. Officially the negotiation is still going on, and I'm trying my best to keep my own version and also the CJ people (the Korean investors/distributors) are trying to confirm the release date, the marketing plan and many other things they are still negotiating and the funny thing is once there did exist a 20-minute cut-out version, a Weinstein version of Snowpiercer, they had a screening of that version in New Jersey in July. Then CJ did another test screening of my original version in LA with a normal American audience, and with my version the response was much higher than the scores from the Weinstein version.
So there was already a TWC version back in July?
Yes, for test screenings. So we already have one fixed American version with 20 minutes cut out but that's not the final version, we are still going through the process.
And how involved are you in that process?
In the business aspect, everything will happen between these two companies (CJ and TWC). In the case of editing, I was involved, I visited the Weinstein company, they are really nice people and we had a lot of conversations about the tastes of North American audiences, and about which parts we can reduce a little bit. Actually Harvey Weinstein wants to speed up the movie. I'm not that kind of young, innocent film school student who is saying "Nobody can touch my movie!!" I'm not like that, I can negotiate, but I really hope to protect and keep my vision. The unique tone and mood of the movie and I don't want to destroy the details of the characters. So it's still going on.
So in your view, what is the Weinsteins' biggest concern with the film right now?
They want a more speedy tempo.
What about the more shocking elements of the story? Because the film goes into some pretty dark territory.
Oh they don't care about that. They think of Snowpiercer as an R-rated movie, so the violence and those kinds of matters are not a big issue. But it's all a matter of duration, speed and tempo.
And you're quite open to that kind of discussion...?
[Laughs] Not that wide open, but yeah, maybe if I change...for them, they are always like that.
Oh yes, they have a history of doing it.
For them, maybe I look very strange, but for me this is the very first time I've experienced this kind of situation. My previous four movies were all released in my director's cut, nobody interfered. For me, this is my first experience. Also for them this kind of very strange director, it's also their first time, so it's a very unique situation, but I hope we can reach a good conclusion.
Of course. If you look at how they worked with Wong Kar Wai recently...
On The Grandmaster? Yeah they have made three or four different versions together, even in Asia there are different versions. Yeah, he's a bit of a different case. For me this is not so familiar. I just hope we reach a good conclusion. I was very happy during the French promotion of the film, because the French distributor, Wildside, they really love the movie and they are very aggressive about it. It opens there this week. Hong Kong also, they are releasing the director's cut here.
There was a lot of talk surrounding Tarantino's visit to Busan and that maybe the Weinsteins had sent him to come and talk to you.
No, no, no he just visited Busan. He won a prize in Macau, and so he was there at the same time as the film festival in Busan. There is a crew member, Jenny Jue, who was the casting director on Inglourious Basterds, she is also the casting director for Snowpiercer, so they flew to Busan together. I met Tarantino for the very first time, I love his movies, he loves my movies, we spent a really wonderful time in Busan, daytime drinking and watching an old Hong Kong movie together.
Which one?
The One Armed Swordsman with Jimmy Wang Yu. Tarantino was screaming. I had seen it before as a kid with my father, that movie was also very popular in Korea when I was a kid. That movie has something nostalgic, to watch that movie on the big screen again, with Tarantino was very special.
Did you discuss the Weinsteins at all while he was there?
During the second day of drinking. On the first day, during the daytime drinking we didn't talk about Harvey Weinstein. I know very well that Tarantino is a friend of Harvey's, they've had a wonderful partnership for almost 20 years. But we are just filmmakers. As a filmmaker he has a partnership with the Weinsteins, but he's not the man from TWC. He's just an artist. He didn't want to add to the burden or the pressure.
The second day drinking there was an American film critic with us, who was a jury member at the festival, (that'll be Variety's Scott Foundas, who reviewed Snowpiercer for the trade publication and also mediated the live discussion between Tarantino and Bong Joon-ho at Busan). He suddenly asked "What do you think about...?" so we had a bit of a conversation about the editing situation but it was not that serious and not that awkward. Quentin actually said "Next time you are in New York, just go meet with Harvey, hang out, have a more casual talk." He emphasised "Harvey really loves your movie, but maybe if it was a bit faster he'd love it more." It was just a very brief conversation about that. But there was no specific message from Harvey delivered by Tarantino.
No horse's head in a box...?
[Laughs] No, not that kind of situation. We were just enjoying the festival.

A Palm Bay man was arrested after threatening a neighbor who let his pit bull dog defecate on the man's grass, according to a police report.
The incident occurred about noon Wednesday in the 800 block of Gillen Avenue NW and ended in the arrest of Joseph M. Williams, 55, on a charge of aggravated assault with a firearm.
According to the police report, Williams said he grabbed his gun and came out of his garage after an altercation with a neighbor about the neighbor's dog's activities in his grass. Williams said he was afraid of the pit bull and kept the gun in the holster, according to the police report.
The victim told police he was afraid he would be shot, and that Williams made a comment to the effect, "set him loose."
Williams was held in jail on $5,000 bond and was released today.

Meridian, Miss. Community members gathered at a Meridian church Tuesday night in support of Trayvon Martin.
Many gathered at Fitkins Memorial Church of the Nazarene for a rally for the teen who was shot and killed last year in a scuffle with a neighborhood watch official in Florida.
Opinions nationwide have been passionate since George Zimmerman was acquitted ten days ago. Reverend Charles Johnson says they want to be pro-active instead of reactive. He believes many in Meridian disagree with the Zimmerman verdict.
"I find that 90% of people I talk to feel that Trayvon did not get justice," said Johnson.
Newscenter 11 cameras were not allowed inside the church for the rally.

I have a fresh install of Zimbra 6.0.9 installed on a fresh, default install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (64-bit):
The install is with all the default settings.Code:$ zmcontrol -v Release 6.0.9_GA_2686.UBUNTU10_64 UBUNTU10_64 NETWORK edition. $ uname -a Linux mail01.xx 2.6.32-26-server #48-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 10:28:32 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS"
I have attempted to use the Zimbra Exchange Migration tool, as well as imapsync, in an attempt to sync a single mailbox over from an Exchange server, to the Zimbra server.
The mailbox is fairly large (1GB), has several folders, and many attachments, although none of them over 5MB.
Both the Zimbra Migration Tool, and imapsync, fail around 30% through the transfer. The error message from the migration tool is: "ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: ZimbraLdapContext)"
Interestingly enough, if I attempt any "zmprov" commands while the migration is happening, I find that I periodically will also get this message.
Sometimes Zimbra seems to recover, and other times I have to do a "zmcontrol restart" to be able to access the web interface again.Code:$ zmprov gcf zimbraFileUploadMaxSize ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: ZimbraLdapContext) $ zmprov gcf zimbraFileUploadMaxSize zimbraFileUploadMaxSize: 10485760
I am guessing that some sort of resource limit is being reached, due to the many messages being added to the store at the same time?
The hardware is quite beefy; quad core 2.8GHz Xeon CPU with 64GB of RAM, SAS disks, so I don't think the problem is there. The load average barely hits 1.0 during the migration.
I have searched a bit, and have found pointers to checking the output of "ulimit -a", etc. and all seems fine there.
Are there any non-obvious tweaks that I've missed that I need to do in order to make this work? Or a pointer to what log files I should be looking for more clues in? I've poked around in /opt/zimbra/log, but not found anything useful so far.
Any suggestions most gratefully received.

In 1536 she became the first queen in Britain's history to be executed.

We know how Anne died but the story of why she had to go and who authored her violent end has been the subject of fiery debate across six centuries. In a radical new approach to televised history, a stellar cast of writers and historians, including Hilary Mantel, David Starkey and Philippa Gregory amongst others, battle out the story of her last days.

For most of the Services team, their Ranji semifinal against Mumbai will not just be the most high profile match of their career but also the most memorable, just for the presence of one man on the opposing side. And while they say they will treat Sachin Tendulkar like any other player, it is clear there are nerves ahead of the once in a lifetime opportunity to share the field with Sachin Tendulkar. Only wicketkeeper Sarabjit Singh, sunglasses perennially on, shows little emotion. This isnt the first time he has played against Tendulkar.
But it was not during the 38-year-old Army subedars 19-seasons of first-class cricket that he played against Tendulkar. That experience came when he was 12 years old playing in an invitational tournament in Mumbai. I was a trainee in the RBS Cricket Academy in Agra and our U-14 team had been invited down to Mumbai to play seven matches, one of which was against the Achrekar Academy. Raj Babbar was the MP of Agra at that time and he had arranged the whole thing, recalls Singh.
Tendulkar wasnt an unknown at that time either, having recently broken the school cricket record for the highest partnership alongside Vinod Kambli . Even at that time, we knew that Sachin was someone to watch out for. Everyone expected Sachin to score heavily in that game as well. He did well but he only managed around 45 runs. Though my memory of that match is a little hazy, I do remember that we won that game, says Sarabjit. Twenty six years since they last met, Singh is hoping things play out in similar fashion. I might remind him about the last time but I doubt he will remember the game, he says.
Not overawed
While Singh says he wont be overawed, he isnt underestimating the magnitude of the encounter either. Without doubt, this is the biggest match I have played in. I have been with the Services team in all phases. When I first joined in 1993, we had a team comprising some professionals and half soldiers. Slowly we started inducting more professionals and that has helped the teams performance improve steadily, says Sarabjit, who in addition to Services, has also played for Jammu and Kashmir.
Batting at No. 7, Singh isnt the most prodigious of scorers with just a shade over 3000 runs in 87 matches but is seen as an

Broncos selection surprises with Scott Prince named at five-eighth for NRL opener
- From: AAP
- March 01, 2013
Former Gold Coast captain Scott Prince has earned selection at five-eighth for Brisbane's NRL season-opening clash with Manly on Saturday week.
Broncos coach Anthony Griffin pulled a few selection surprises in his first 17-man squad of the season which included naming Corey Norman at fullback and skipper Sam Thaiday in the front-row with Josh McGuire.
Last season's fullback Josh Hoffman was named on the wing with Lachlan Maranta.
In another unexpected selection, representative prop Ben Hannant finds himself on the bench with Griffin keen to start Matt Gillett against Manly in the back-row.
Prince, who was dumped by the Titans late last year, earned his spot with impressive trial games against his former NRL club and the Warriors in Dunedin last week.
"I've come here with no promises and I've had to work really hard throughout the pre-season and played some really good games throughout the trials," said Prince in his first interview this year.
"I'm really happy to be named in the starting line-up for the Manly game.''
Prince was vague about the role he would play despite being named at No.6, which suggests he may yet take over at halfback with Wallace shifting to five-eighth.
Griffin said on trial form, Wallace and Prince had overshadowed last season's five-eighth Norman.
"They were the best in the trials but I thought it was important for Corey that we kept him in the team," he said.
"But with Dale Copley (knee) going down injured we're probably down some experience on the wing, which has given us the opportunity to play Corey at fullback and Josh (Hoffman) on the wing."
Brisbane's team: Corey Norman, Josh Hoffman, Jack Reed, Justin Hodges, Lachlan Maranta, Scott Prince, Peter Wallace, Josh McGuire, Andrew McCullough, Sam Thaiday (capt), Alex Glenn, Matt Gillett, Corey Parker. Interchange: Ben Hunt, Ben Hannant, Mitchell Dodds, David Stagg, Scott Anderson (one to be omitted).

I recently ran into an issue with the HTTP plugin and WAS. The SSL keys were not matching up and synching up properly. I was able to reach the connections applications via HTTP. I was also able to get to the HTTP server directly via SSL. But when I tried to login to connections I would get this error message.
Well I opened a quick PMR and they pointed me to this technote. Technote # 21264477
Well I opened a quick PMR and they pointed me to this technote. Technote # 21264477
This Technote walks you through a procedure on synching the Root SSL ID assigned to WAS with the HTTP Plugin Key database.
I did this with the following procedure.
- Login to Integrated Solutions Console (WAS admin )
- Click Security--->SSL Certificate and Key management---->Key Stores and Certificates
- Click the checkbox for the webserver and for the CellDefaultTrustStore
7. Now we need to propagate the WebServer Plugin Click on Servers--->Server Types---->WebServers on the left
8. Select the WebServer and hit the propagate plugin button
9. To ensure the plugin-key.kdb file has inded synchronized, manually copy it from the deployment manager node to the http server plugin directory. For my installation I copied the database from C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01\config\cells\Connections03Cell01\nodes\webserver\servers\webserver1\plugin-key.kdb to c:\IBM\HTTPServer\Plugins\config\webserver1\plugin-key.kdb.10. Restart HTTP and the SSL should work correctly.

Personally, WVU is quickly becoming the most hated team in B12.
TTU are fair, ind and gentle in comparison.
Come on Clones.
He isn't a Big12 coach.......he is a container that you can fit a Big12 coach into. Kind of like Russian dolls.
As long as he is producing this garbage, Huggins is easy to love
Lets get the win and get home, before we say easy to love
I've always loved HuggyBear
I think he and Bill Belichek are brothers! Dislike both of them. Same ****** off look on their faces all the time.
I have never liked or respected Huggins. Not starting now.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
If he coached here, we'd be gushing over him...love his intensity etc...like him or not, he's one of the best coaches in the country, you don't get many chances to sweep him in a season. With 13 (yea 13) guys who are fr and so's, i wouldn't look for many more chances in the future either.
I get the intensity.
However, I do not like coaches who spend the game whining at or riding the refs.
Just my personal opinion.
I get why it happens, as someone told me, even if you are balanced as a ref, if all game you have one coach yelling at you, and one not, you probably cannot help wondering if the whining coach has a point.
Bottom line, I would not mind if CFH woudl be a little more vocal at key times, and I wish they would have some sort of whining penalty!
I've never seen a coach ***** about every single call like Huggins does. It's about time he gets T'd up today.
completely different game since Huggys T....
Huggins is the easiest to hate. I've been there for many, many years.

NO ONE is as bad as Izzo.
I hate coaches like him that b***h about every single call. So annoying
I like yelling at him at home games. That's pretty fun because he actually looks at the student section frequently when he is angry.

Finally saw these birds in the pasture at 6:30 PM today. We actually first
looked about 2:00, then 2;30, then again about 5:00. They must be in the
rookery, or who knows where else, some of the day. We wonder why they came
back so late in the day. Possibly they came in at 6:30 with the field full
of gulls, which had not been present any of the earlier times. Also today
we found 15 species of warblers and 2 vireos in River Bend Nature Center.

Breathe for a moment, Ducks fans. Oregon didn't lose two QBs to Texas A&M in the same day, but both are headed to the Aggies. Elite QB recruit Kyler Murray, listed as the best dual-threat QB in the nation, chose Texas A&M over Oregon earlier Wednesday. Now, former Oregon QB Damion Hobbs has also chosen the Aggies of Utah State. On May 17th, it was reported that Hobbs would transfer from the UO. Now he has a home.
Hobbs redshirted with Oregon last season after he joined the Ducks program after a last-minute push. He originally had plans to sign with Utah State out of high school. Now he has decided Logan is the best place for him after all.
"I am thankful for the opportunity I had at Oregon, but things simply didn't work out football wise," he told The Salt Lake Tribune. "I've been to Utah State and had a good rapport with the coaches so everything was in place and it just felt right."
Hobbs threw for 2,769 yards and 20 touchdowns and rushed for 808 yards and 12 touchdown in his senior season at Cedar Hill H.S. in Texas.
Hobbs said he is eager to compete and try to make an impact with the Aggies.
"I just want to bring that winning attitude to the program," he said. "They've been doing that there lately and winning games but I want to keep it going and really want to win and learn as much as I can. I want to come in and be a good teammate too right off the bat."
"I'll do whatever it takes to help the team," he said. "I'll do anything for the team to win. If it involves me running the ball 20 times I will do that or if it involves me putting the ball in the air 20 times I will do that."
