The City of Taylorsville will be looking for a new police chief following the recent resignation of current Chief Kenny Stewart.
Stewart, who was promoted to chief just over a year ago, submitted his resignation to the City Commission without specifying any particular reason for his departure. On Monday, he told The Spencer Magnet that "It's just my time to leave," he said.
Spencer County received a taste of history and art when stained glass artist, Laura Mentor, was approached to create a work of art for the Kentucky History and Genealogy room at the Spencer County Public Library. Mentor has done numerous windows for public libraries, hospitals and other locations across Kentucky and was contacted by SCPL Director Debra Lawson for the local project.
America remembered the anniversary of 9-11 this week and Plum Creek Baptist Church hosted an event on Sunday to honor all first responders as Hometown Heroes. The event was complete with food, music, games and fireworks.
Representative James Allen Tipton announced last week that he will run for re-election to the Kentucky State House of Representatives.
A vacant house on Bloomfield Road (KY 55) just south of Taylorsville, was completely destroyed by flames Saturday night. Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Chief Nathan Nation said investigators think the fire was intentionally set and the incident was being investigated by Kentucky State Police arson investigators. The home was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived and Nation said firefighters extinguished the flames and worked to save surrounding buildings. There were no injuries sustained in the blaze.
A four-year liberal arts degree is no longer the surest path to success for high school graduates. More and more students are looking to head straight to the job market and a new program at Spencer County High School will help prepare students for the workforce, whether it's with or without a college diploma.
Brandy Scott, College and Career Coach at Spencer County High School, outlined the new Work Ethic Program at a recent board of education meeting, and said last week they hope to implement the program after fall break.
Attorney General Andy Beshear issued a Scam Alert Monday to help make Kentuckians aware of the Equifax data breach, and provided tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of identity theft.
Equifax, one of the nation's three major credit-reporting agencies, recently announced a major data breach that could affect about 143 million American customers.
Scott Harvey had a warning for students at Spencer County Middle School who think their social media comments, pictures and posts can be hidden or deleted.
"You can have privacy and you can have social media, but you can't have both," he told the students during an assembly Thursday afternoon.
The number of Kentuckians who will retire from state and local government in September is up 37 percent from one year earlier, according to data released Wednesday by the Kentucky Retirement Systems.
Overall, 746 state and local government employees will retire this month. The average number of September retirements over the previous four years was 542. Retirements from public service also were up noticeably during August.
On Sept. 1, Catholic Health Initiatives became the "sole sponsor" or owner of KentuckyOne Health, when the parent company bought out The Jewish Heritage Fund for Excellence's interests in a $150 million deal.
The decision concludes a five-year relationship as joint sponsors of KentuckyOne Health.

One of the most enduring memories of my childhood was dressing up as Mr Strong. It was for one of our school fetes where each year (this was the 1980's) we dressed up and paraded around the school field for all the parents to see. I used to love the Mr Men books, we had a few, but not all of them. I'd get them from the library whenever I was given the chance.
The other thing I really remember vividly was playing live action Mr Men and Little Miss in the playground. Each person would be given a character to match their personality.When I was little there weren't very many Little Miss books to choose from, in fact I can only remember Little Miss Bossy. It was inevitable, given the sort of child that I was that I would end up being Little Miss Bossy, although sometimes I was Mr Messy. They both suited my childhood. Being born in the 1970's by the time I went to primary school it was all about the beginnings of girl power with Mrs Thatcher in charge and everyone loved America.
Thats why the Mr Men books were so good, they were really absolutely British. The pictures were fantastic, each drawn with felt tip pen. It made them more accessible and I'd spend many a happy hour trying to think up my own characters and create my own little books.
The Mr Men and Little Miss books were something which I was desperate to share with the kids, I mean, what a brilliant excuse to have to read them all again! Although we have bought an entire new set for the children both myself and my husband find that we still have lots of our vintage original versions. Just reading them can bring back really vivid memories and we drive the children mad by reminiscing with them about various times in our childhood when reading them! I'm also keen on getting them to create their own little Mr Men character books…
Of course, with the benefit of being in my forties and a mother to four children I now know why there were so many Mr Strong's in the school fete. It must be one of the easiest book related fancy dress costumes out there. In fact I even recreated this costume for my own child recently.
As each year passes there are of course, even more brilliant Mr Men books to read and I often review them here on this blog. In fact (guilt) I have a little stack by my computer here which I must get around to reviewing!
Isn't it fantastic to hear that to celebrate 45 years of the brand (shocking as that means its only a few years older than me) there is going to be a pop-up exhibition in London's South Bank. Even better that it has been designed specifically with kids in mind, with exhibits displayed at a child's scale throughout.
The exhibition will feature hundreds of pieces of memorabilia from the past 45 years, celebrating the nation's favourite Mr Men and Little Miss characters. Fans will be able to add their own memorabilia to the exhibition via the Mr Men Little Miss virtual archive, by simply uploading an image of their favourite item on their phone or laptop. Consumer items uploaded to the virtual archive will be on display on rolling screens at the exhibition, alongside physical items, creating an ever-changing exhibition of the nation's most-loved Mr Men and Little Miss memorabilia. The first 45 people to upload an item to the virtual archive will receive a limited edition print signed by Adam Hargreaves.
As a professional museum curator and a Mr Men fan I cant believe my luck! It couldn't get much better really; a child friendly exhibition during the school holidays featuring our favourite book characters.
You'll be able to explore the collection on loan from Mr Men Little Miss super fan Michelle Harrop. Fans can also add their own pieces to the exhibition via the virtual archive, take time out in the Mr Men Little Miss story time library area, and take snaps of themselves inside a specially-created 'Happyland' backdrop alongside their favourite Mr Men & Little Miss characters. The exhibition will also include a personalisation stand for visitors to take home their very own personalised print of a Mr Men or Little Miss character as a memento.
The Mr Men Little Miss Mini Museum will be open between Thursday 25th August and Monday 29th August 2016. The exhibition takes place at Gallery@OXO, situated on the ground floor of the OXO Tower on London's South Bank.
Fans can upload their memorabilia to the Mr Men Little Miss archive at www.mrmen.com/archive

The Manufacturing Institute has announced that Cemco Vice President Jennifer Hise is among the 2014 STEP Award honorees.
Now in its second year, the STEP Awards "identify and highlight women who have demonstrated excellence in manufacturing," giving recognition to women from factory workers all the way to senior management, according to the Manufacturing Institute's website.
The site also notes that the awards "call for women in Science, Technology, Engineering or Production roles who have made significant achievements in manufacturing through their positive impact on a company's product development, process improvement, project, sale, or other similar activities."
The Manufacturing Institute named Hise as a 2014 STEP Award honoree for a number of reasons.
One of those is her work to help develop a quality management system for Cemco and install a state-of-the-art communications system that links Cemco employees, customers and suppliers worldwide.
Also contributing to her STEP Award is her success as a woman in the male-dominated manufacturing industry. The Manufacturing Institute notes that Hise was the first female plant manager for TXI, and that her technical and interpersonal abilities have garnered industry-wide respect.
Hise's community work also helped her become a STEP Award honoree. She has worked to help the Greater Belen Chamber of Commerce embrace a more progressive work network and was named earlier this year as a New Mexico Business Weekly "Women of Influence" in the New Mexico business community.
Hise told the Manufacturing Institute that her background in the industry, as well customers and the production process, contributed to her passion for manufacturing.
"I am passionate about manufacturing as it is an industry I've grown up in," Hise said. "I love providing a solution to customers and contributing to the aggregate/mining industry. I love the size and strength of the equipment and everything involved in the production of the material that is involved in every part of our lives."
The Manufacturing Institute will present the 2014 STEP Awards on Thursday in Washington, D.C.

New county hall scheme backed
A county council has backed plans to investigate moving its 1,300 workers to new headquarters.
Suffolk County Council, at present based at County Hall in Ipswich, is looking at a possible move to New Russell House, which had been earmarked for TXU Energi's new head offices.
But the administrators for TXU have been looking to sell the two-thirds completed building which was originally costed at £40m.
The move would see the council workforce - currently split between five premises - brought together in a single building.
Plan backed
A council spokeswoman said that because of commercial sensitivities the issue was discussed in a closed session of the council.
If the move goes ahead, the present headquarters of the authority could be used for the expansion of Suffolk College.
The plans were backed by a meeting of the full council on Thursday evening.

Last week I was in Key West. My first time there and I managed to randomly pick a pretty good time -- nothing was going on and it was the off season. The trip was pretty last minute, originally it was supposed to be an extended family trip to the Outer Banks, NC but my sister and her family had to cancel so I thought about where I haven't been to that I'd like to go see and then looked into what was possible. Turns out that Key West in August is pretty possible.
The flight down there was pretty easy and the airport is certainly welcoming (it's probably the smallest airport I've been to).
A short cab ride and I was at the hotel. The room I had reserved wasn't ready but without any hesitation the front desk guy upgraded the room. Real nice.
From Monday through Friday I basically ran, swam, biked, and walked.
Of course the bike was an old, heavy cruiser with coaster breaks that I rented. It was definitely on the sturdy end of the spectrum.
I did most of the swimming at the Fort Zach (Ft Taylor State Park) beach -- really nice area to swim in and there was a nice snack shop there too. If you get to the beach at 10am you can have it almost all to yourself.
One of the "things to do" is watching the sunset. It becomes pretty crowded at a couple of the prime locations. The main square has a number of entertainers and this juggler was one of the better acts. Next time I think that my job is hard I'll remind myself that this guy earns his living juggling fire while riding a unicycle.
I did get some runs done while I was down there. I managed to get up at around 5:30am so that I'd be finishing up before the sun got too high in the sky. Would have probably been better if I had gone to bed a little early too but I never managed that trick (although I was usually in bed by 11pm or so). Even getting up that early meant dealing with a bit of heat and humidity - it was pretty much in the low to mid 80's as far as temperature and humidity each morning. I did get lucky a couple of days with some breezes showing up.
Monday - 8 miles, 9:27 pace. Basically wandered around the streets of old town for this run.
Tuesday - 8.3 miles. Met up with a local running group and did my middle four miles with them. The overall pace was 9:26 there were a several faster miles thrown in of sub 9 m/m including an 8:10 mile when we were chasing P. down (a Navy chief stationed in Key West).
Wednesday - 8 miles, 9:18 pace. Not sure if it was the heat/humidity on this morning, the previous day's faster miles, the several adult beverages consumed the night before, or all three but I was very happy to find a vending machine stocked with Gatorade at about the 6.5 mile point on this run.
Thursday - no running rest day. I still do some bike riding, swimming and walking all over the place but I managed a little "rest".
Friday - Met up with the local running club again. Luckily, for all of us, P. was on leave and we did an easy 3 miles (10 to 11 minute/miles). After that I put in some more miles and ended with 8.6 miles at 9:59 pace.
Saturday - Ran around the island. Key West is that big and this turned out to be 9.4 miles at 9:23 pace. Along with a planned stopped at the previously mentioned vending machine, this was probably the best run I had down there. Especially while running along the Atlantic side and watching the sun rise.
42 miles for the week of vacation.
Turns out that the best time to get a picture at this little monument is while out on a run really early in the morning (every other time I went by there was a long line of people waiting their turn).
A couple of other observations:
Tech shirts from races are great to wear when vacationing in place with really high temperatures and humidity. Also if it rains (it poured for a couple of hours one afternoon), the tech shirt drys out fast too.
One of the stranger sights and sounds of Key West were chickens and rooster that roam all around. Turns out that roosters crow both in the morning and in the evening. And some of them start way before dawn too.

The next big home improvement project around the ol'thermonuclear burg will be rearranging our third floor office space, turning my wife's craft room into something a little more office like (and a little easier for her to work in) and converting our old "office" into the new gaming room.
As a result, I'm going to lose my current over-sized L-shaped desk and get my wife's smaller workspace (which is ok, since I don't often get to work on the third floor, thus one of the reasons for the conversion). But my PowerMac will still be upstairs, and the reduced deskspace means that my ancient CRT monitor's days are numbered.
I'm looking for a 20"/21" display that could easily be used with desktop or notebook computers running Mac OS X and/or Windows XP (and maybe Vista as well ... some day). I'm looking for something in the $250-$350 price range. The question I have for the collective intelligence of the Web is ... what LCD monitor do you recommend I get. Brand names are welcome; specific model numbers are even better.

Going by the FIFA rankings an encounter between Madagascar and Uganda should be a no contest. The Indian Ocean island is 103 places behind Uganda on the world football governing body's performance scale.
The Cranes were two weeks ago however given a rude awakening of how deceptive FIFA's rankings can be. Uganda was beaten 2-1 by a visibly better playing Madagascar in the first leg of Nations Cup preliminaries.
As the Cranes take on the Barea in the return leg at Namboole today, the 1-0 target that the hosts have to advance would appear an easy task. But just like in the first leg, the Cranes could be in for a huge surprise if they don't take the visitors seriously.
The recent loss wasn't the first time that Madagascan triumph over Uganda was happening. In qualifiers for the 1984 Nations Cup finals, the same opponents beat Uganda 1-0 in Madagascar. Uganda won the return leg 2-1 but Madagascar advanced on strength of the away goals rule.
"We can only take them lightly at our own peril," warned a member of that Cranes side Paul Ssali.
"They are ball players like Ethiopia. If we play to their rhythm, we are finished," cautioned Ssali.
Ssali, who kept the posts that time, wants Uganda to be aggressive.
"We should be more physical and also make use of the long ball."
The good news is that Micho will be leading a highly motivated team
Tom Lwanga, who was KCC coach when they played Madagascar's BFV in 1991 shares a similar view. The physical game had good dividends for Lwanga just like it had also earlier paid off for SC Villa in 1983.
KCC lost the first leg 1-0 but won 3-1 in Kampala to advance in the Africa Cup Winners Cup. Villa had been more imposing in the Africa Club Championship winning 4-2 at Nakivubo before battling to a 1-1 result in Antananarivo.
There is cause to be optimistic today. Contrary to the first leg when Micho Sredojevich lacked the bulk of his first team, the Serbian tactician is this time spoilt for choice. Micho not only has all the players he needs, but will also be favoured by a familiar ground.
The artificial turf in Rabemanjara Mahajanga Stadium had the Cranes struggling.
The ground seemed to give the ball an unfamiliar bounce that always disoriented the visitors. The Cranes also have a passionate home crowd to bank on.
The unfriendly entry fees notwithstanding, Ugandans should turn up in big numbers to cheer on their team. A bad result for the Cranes will have them out of serious international action until late next year.
If Uganda advances it will be up against one more hurdle before getting to the group stage. Whoever qualifies tonight faces the winner between Mauritania and Equatorial Guinea.
The good news is that Micho will be leading a highly motivated team that is well aware of what is at stake.
"We have critically studied the tape of the first leg and will be leaving nothing to chance. We badly need this win and we shall be seriously going for it," Micho assured Ugandans.

Lori Garver Leaving NASA for Air Line Pilots Association
Source: Space News
NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver is stepping down Sept. 6 to take the top staff job at the Washington-based Air Line Pilots Association, SpaceNews has confirmed. A formal announcement is expected Aug. 6.
Garver informed colleagues of her decision in an Aug. 5 email. After quite an extensive decision process, I have decided to make a career change. I will be resigning from my position as NASA Deputy Administrator, effective September 6 and have accepted a new position in the private sector outside the space industry, Garver wrote. NASA will be sending out a formal announcement tomorrow with all the details. It has been great working with you all these years and Im sure that our paths will continue to cross.
Garver served as the lead civil space adviser to John Kerrys 2004 presidential campaign as well as Hillary Clintons 2008 run. When Barack Obama defeated Clinton in the Democratic primary, Garver switched camps and went on to lead Obama Presidential Transition Agency Review Team for NASA.
"It will be years before it is known what Lori did to help hold the ship of NASA together and point it away from the past," longtime space entrepreneur Dennis Wingo commented on NASAWatch.com, which first reported that Garver will be stepping down.

1. NASA Watch: Lori Garver Is Leaving NASA
Lori Garver Is Leaving NASA
By Keith Cowing on August 5, 2013 11:02 PM. 12 Comments
Keith's 5:25 pm note: Sources report that NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver will be leaving the agency in a few weeks to take a non-space job in the private sector. A formal announcement is expected tomorrow (Tuesday). No word yet as to who will replace her - or if a Deputy Administrator will even be named. Dan Goldin managed to do without a formal "Deputy" for a decade.
I am not certain that the White House would want the distraction of a confirmation hearing right now - one where any question about NASA would be fair game for the nominee. Its more probable that they will leave the position empty or make someone (like NASA Associate Administrator Robert Lightfoot) Acting Deputy Administrator for the time being and punt on anything formal. Stay tuned.
Keith's 6:00 pm update: Sources report that Lori Garver will be heading to the Air Line Pilots Association.
Keith's 8:00 pm update: The following email was sent to a large number of people by Lori Garver:
"After quite an extensive decision process, I have decided to make a career change. I will be resigning from my position as NASA Deputy Administrator, effective September 6 and have accepted a new position in the private sector outside the space industry. NASA will be sending out a formal announcement tomorrow with all the details. It has been great working with you all these years and I'm sure that our paths will continue to cross. As you know, I've been a long-time aerospace community member, but I am also excited to take on this new challenge. This change comes at the same time David and I are starting a new chapter personally, with our youngest headed off to college in a few weeks - so big changes ahead. There will definitely be time for a "proper" goodbye sometime over the next month. Until then, thank you for always being there for me and for a better future through space development."

2. Statements from Charles Bolden and John Holdren
Aug. 6, 2013
Bob Jacobs/Allard Beutel
Headquarters, Washington
email@example.com / email@example.com
Statements on NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver's Announced Departure
The following are statements from NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and Office of Science and Technology Policy Director John Holdren about NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver's announced departure from the agency, effective Sept. 6.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden:
"I have had the pleasure and honor of working side by side with Lori for the past four years, as we sought to position the agency for 21st century spaceflight, scientific discovery and deep space exploration. She has been an indispensable partner in our efforts to keep NASA on a trajectory of progress and innovation. In a time of great change and challenge, she has been a remarkable leader who has consistently shown great vision and commitment to NASA and the aerospace industry.
"Lori has led the way on so many of the Obama Administration's space priorities, including our commercial crew and cargo program, the re-establishment of a space technology mission directorate, our use of challenges and prizes, and our unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion. As one of only a few top women leaders in the aerospace industry, she has been an extraordinary role model for young girls, inspiring them to study science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and pursue their dreams in space and here on Earth.
"Lori will always be a great friend to me and to our agency."
Office of Science and Technology Policy Director John Holdren:
"Lori Garver has worked tirelessly in support of this administrations aerospace priorities, from human space exploration and technology development to Earth science and aeronautics research. She ensured that U.S. taxpayers were getting the most for their money from NASA with innovative public-private partnerships in space and on Earth, and her focus on getting more women and other underrepresented groups engaged in science, technology, engineering, and math was just as important.
"On behalf of President Obama, as well as myself, I want to thank Lori for her leadership, dedication, and work on behalf of the American people, and wish her all the best in future endeavors."

Diaz inducted into HOF for Pioneer League
Tony Diaz was back in uniform Friday night at Suplizio Field, back in the dugout.
And for good reason — the developmental supervisor for the Grand Junction Rockies was inducted into the Pioneer League Hall of Fame.
The league is celebrating its 75th anniversary, and as part of that, started a Hall of Fame this year. Pioneer League President Jim McCurdy was at the ballpark to honor Diaz.
Diaz and his mentor, former Casper Ghosts manager P.J. Carey, are part of the inaugural class.
"I want to thank P.J. Carey, who without him, there's no way I would be standing here tonight," Diaz said as he wrapped up his short induction speech. "P.J. was a great mentor, a father figure to me, and I'm double blessed to be going into the Hall of Fame right next to P.J. Tonight shouldn't be my night, it should be P.J. Carey's night."
Carey, who spent 40 years in professional baseball as a player, coach and manager, died of cancer in December, 2012. After retiring from managing the Ghosts after the 2006 season, Carey was a minor league coordinator and senior advisor for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 2009-2011.
Diaz became the Ghosts' hitting coach in 2001 and succeeded Carey as manager for the 2007 season. He came to Grand Junction when the Colorado Rockies moved the Rookie affiliate to Grand Junction last season as the club's first manager.
His young club reached the Pioneer League playoffs last summer, and this year, his first as the Rookie developmental supervisor, the Rockies won the first-half title in the South Division to clinch a playoff spot.
In his current position, Diaz usually watches the games from the stands or press box, but is on the field every day working with the players. In 2002, Diaz was the Rockies' player development man of the year for the entire organization. He thanked the Rockies for giving him the opportunity to coach.
"I've enjoyed every step of the way," he said. "I want to thank all of the players, former and current, because they represent my inspiration.
"To all of you, the fans across the league, the grounds keepers, front office personnel, all of you have embraced me, treated me really well and treated my loved ones really well."

Its name is Mons. It was created by the Spanish designer Romualdo Faura as an alternative sink for kids. Aside from its cool design, the piece boasts many child friendly features. The shape of the sink is ergonomically correct and allows a child to reach water and the soap dispenser more easily. The base is enclosed to prevent splashes; the absence of sharp edges makes Mons safe; motion sensors control (and therefore save) water. The piece is made out of Duralmond (biodegradable and recyclable crushed almond husks), an environmentally friendly and sustainable material. Duralmond also allows for any color. Hence, Mons can be tailored to your child's taste, no matter how capricious. And who knows, maybe it fulfills the ultimate task and makes washing hands fun.
That 's a really cool idea, especially for kids who think that brushing teeth in the morning is a waste of time.

Everyone is incredibly and beautifully different. No two people on this planet are just alike. We live in a world where you have to be yourself; everyone else is already taken. Diversity is what makes our world so beautiful; it's what makes our world so perfectly imperfect. "You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it fearlessly." What does it mean to be fearless? Jumping off of a cliff into deep waters below–is that fearless? Maybe raising your hand to comment in a class full of 500 students–does that make someone fearless? Hmmm. What about waking up and putting on your favorite sweater and boots (whether they matched or not) and flaunting the look all day with a proud posture and a stunning smile? Being yourself, the only you in the whole wide world, and embracing it every day with style…Yes, that sounds fearless to me.
This Fashionista is indeed 100 percent perfectly imperfect in her favorite forest green sweater. She pairs it with a funky graphic T-shirt from Urban Outfitters. She has her top tucked into her black faux leather harem pants to give the look some flawless character. Harem pants are super trendy right now. They're loose in the thigh, skinny at the ankle and give a fun shape to any outfit. Her scrunched stockings and ankle boots are a perfect addition to complete her hipster opus.
My favorite thing about this Fashionista's outfit are, as always, her bold accessories. Her funky necklace adds the perfect amount of bling to her casual street style. Her watch and bracelets, all found at local town boutiques, add personality and a pop of color to her fresh look. And let's not forget her glasses! These babies are a perfect final touch to complete her urban look.
Overall, this Fashionista has a fearless look to strut on campus and a stunning smile to pair it with. My style advice for you this week is to embrace your style every single day and always feel fearless doing it. Be bold, be perfectly imperfect, be fearless, be yourself. "You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose and to do it fearlessly."

The 2/3" sensor is tiny.
The esthetics of moving pictures are very different from stills, which is one of the many reasons why I've been skeptical about stills photographers moving to film.
this product alone could produce a whole generation of robert rodriguezes.
... movies are not generally shot at f1.4 either as that shallow a DOF is practically unusable and practically nothing is ever in focus.... 2/3" is actually a very practical size for small crew or single user movie making where you don't have a dedicated focus puller. On the Scarlet 2/3" fixed it's a T2.6 lens, so you should have very reasonable control over DOF.
It is that. In fact, sensors in professional video camcorders in the 90s were 2/3" and they used three of them. One for each channel of RGB.
The sensors in most professional video cameras are still 2/3". That is the industry standard.
Where's the Red Scarlet excitement?
Understood that 2/3" is not the camera for everybody. That's why it's part of a range.Graeme
Yes, there's AF. I think 5k is ~12mp or thereabouts. As for image quality, although I'm very confident, now is not the appropriate time to comment on that. Moving between stills and motion should be very simple. The little details are really coming together to make it practical for movie making in so many ways - proper EVF, adjustable LCD, the REDMotes etc.Graeme
Or maybe because I just do image processing and that takes up so much of my time I don't always know exactly how other aspects of the camera work.Graeme
Nope, not a publicist, more of a public face. I've been reading / participating in LL before my involvement with RED, and just didn't stop posting. I'm happy to answer here what I know and to discuss aspects that I'm involved with, but beyond that, all I can do is point you to reduser and that is where the other responses will be probably best served.Graeme

David, the line about infringe was intended as a little levity, not to be taken too serously. In all seriousness though, the laws so far enacted have, to some degree, limited the ability of the armed populace to defend itself in certain of the scenarios envisioned by the framers. To infringe means to violate, encroach upon. I think for certain some of the rights of law-abiding citizens have been encroached upon and limited. NFA items are the primary ones so far. Do those laws limit my ability to respond with some sense of equality to certain situations that could arise? Hypothetically, yes. Would an AWB limit my ability to respond? In no uncertain terms, yes. An AWB would not only limit my ability to respond, but would infringe upon the ability of generations yet to come to fulfill their duty as citizens. I certainly wouldn't think too much of facing a gang of AK wielding BG's with a bolt action rifle, but I would if I have to.

Scoop: GO ON on NBC - Today, December 4, 2012
"The World Ain't Over 'Til It's Over" - When the group settles on a date for their holiday party, it happens to fall on what Mr. K (Brett Gelman) believes will be the end of the world. Ryan (Matthew Perry) invites Anne (Julie White) along on his annual trip to wine country with Steven (John Cho) and Lauren (Laura Benanti) worries her boyfriend is ready to pop the question.Tyler James Williams and Suzy Nakamura also star. GO ON airs on NBC tonight, December 4 at 9pm!
Matthew Perry (FRIENDS, MR. SUNSHINE) stars as Ryan King, a recent widower and sports talk radio host ready to get back to work after the loss of his wife. Ryan's alpha-male boss, Steven (John Cho, STAR TREK, HAROLD & KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE), has a different plan in store for Ryan, making him attend grief counseling before returning to the air.
A reluctant Ryan finds himself in a support group for "life change" where he meets an oddball cast of characters, all with their own backstories filled with varying degrees of loss. On his very first visit, Ryan convinces the group to deviate from their normal session and starts a tournament-style competition (March Sadness!) to find out whose story is the worsT. Ryan's total lack of interest in "the healing process" proves distracting, and he soon butts heads with the by-the-books group leader, Lauren, played by Tony Award-winner Laura Benanti (THE PLAYBOY CLUB). Back at work, Ryan is confronted with the fact that he hasn't really processed his grief and realizes Lauren and the other members of the group might be key in helping him move on. Also starring are Tony Award winner Julie White (TRANSFORMERS) as Anne, Tyler James Williams (EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS) as Owen, Suzy Nakamura (DODGEBALL) as Yolanda, and Brett Gelman as Mr.K (30 MINUTES OR LESS).

Maddon changes lineup (and gets results)
[Update: Carlos Pena, in an 0-for-22 slump since the American League Championship Series, doubled and scored the Rays' first run and then, with the rain pounding down, singled in the tying run. Evan Longoria, 0-for-18 since the ALCS, singled in Pena.]
LF Carl Crawford was moved up to second in the lineup as manager Joe Maddon tries to "unfreeze" slumping 1B Carlos Pena and 3B Evan Longoria by dropping them down a slot to fourth and fifth in the order. Maddon also opted to start Rocco Baldelli in rightfield, saying "Rocco can do something special.''
With Pena and Longoria a combined 0-for-29, Maddon wanted to do something - but nothing too dramatic - to change the look of the lineup. "I just wanted to tweak it a click,'' Maddon said. "See if Carl can get up there and set it up a bit and just unfreeze Longo and Carlos a bit. It's just a minor adjustment, we'll see if it has any impact. I just wanted to do something, just to clear their minds a little bit, more than anything it was more to give them a different outlook on the day. That's all. They're bascially still hitting in their same order one slot down. Carl's been swinging the bat well, he's a familiar No. 2 hitter. B.J. (Upton) looks like he's got his RBI swing back together. ... I was just trying to give them a different perspective.''
Maddon also said he did not necessarily buy the explanation by Phillies Game 4 pitcher Joe Blanton that the dark splotch on his cap was just normal dirt. "I don't think so,'' Maddon said. "That's very unusual.''
Maddon had started Ben Zobrist twice in the first four games in rightfield, but said he wanted to give Baldelli, who didn't start the opener against Philadelphia LHP Cole Hamels, a chance. "Ben's done a nice job. I just wanted to get Rocco out there,'' Maddon said. "I know he's ready to play. Rocco can do something special, I believe. Not that the other guys can't. But Rocco is capable of doing something extraordinary so I just wanted to get him out there.''
The lineup looks like this:
Iwamura, 2b
Crawford, lf
Upton, cf
Pena, 1b
Longoria, 3b
Navarro, c
Baldelli, rf
Bartlett, ss

Bucharest (Dec. 24)
Nachum Sokolow, Chairman of the Executive of the World Zionist Organization, was received today by King Ferdinand. Following his audience with the King, Mr. Sokolow was presented to Queen Marie. He lunched with the royal family and suite. After luncheon the King conversed with the Zionist leader for over two hours, inquiring about the rebuilding work in Palestine and the situation of the Zionist movement in general.
The King and Queen were greatly interested in the conversation and showed a very cordial and sympathetic attitude toward the problem.
Mr. Sokolow was also received by the Crown Prince.

Straight talking with Diplo
After a few years spent promoting albums or tours and countless hours spent on the phone to journalists on the other side of the world, a lot of artists go into 'autopilot'. The same answers get repeated over and over, they're usually coated in a thick layer of faux-enthusiasm, and they rarely offer anything new.
A lot of artists, but not Diplo. A notoriously difficult interview subject, dance music's everywhere-man has a reputation for either being in firing form or coolly aloof, without much middle ground. As former inthemix Deputy Editor Dave Ruby Howe once summed it up: "It's been pretty well documented that Diplo doesn't give a shit."
To be fair, over the years inthemix has had some good chats to the man. There was that time he told us he thinks M.I.A. is a 'psycho fucking bitch'. Or the interview he called Tiesto the September 11 of DJs ("never forget"). Most recently, he sat on our artist panel at the inaugural Electronic Music Conference, at one point (23:10, to be precise) announcing "I don't really give a shit" himself. But the last time inthemix go the contender for busiest-man-in-dance-music on the phone, after a few monosyllabic minutes the Mad Decent boss hung up to go and chase after his son.
Not that you can blame the guy. At this stage in his career – while he's busy counting those Grammy nominations, fielding calls from Justin Bieber, selling out shows around the world and running a successful label – Diplo doesn't really need to worry about whether or not he's playing ball with the media. So when inthemix got Wesley Pentz on the phone last week, you can bet we were relieved to find him in a chatty mood.
Not afraid of cutting the bullshit, Diplo's certainly no stranger to dividing opinion ("do any of your readers like me? I'm guessing no..hahaha," he tweeted at inthemix after our article about Switch's split from Major Lazer went up).
So in those 15 all-too-brief minutes, we picked his brain about making the world a better place (really!), where he sits in the whole EDM explosion, the new breed of producers changing dance music and Free the Universe, Major Lazer's superb second album which finally dropped today. Because when Diplo's good, he's very, very good. And really, you can't help but love the guy.
We're here to talk about Free The Universe. I've listened to the album a lot, and it seems to have some political themes underpinning it. Then yesterday, you were tweeting a lot about Snoop Dogg's new song No Guns Allowed. Is incorporating messages into your music something you're thinking more about now?
Well, I think you should always be thinking about making your music meaningful. Whatever it is, there's always a message. I make so much music that I can try to make some of it more progressive For example, when I wrote No Guns Allowed for Snoop, it was really soon before the Newtown massacre happened. It's a really important song, but it feels like nobody seems to give a shit.
It's like being political is just a waste of time: it's not going to make you more popular. It'll just make you more controversial. Especially the dance artists, they don't really care about anything except getting paid and playing raves. When you look back at your career – if you're someone like Snoop – it's important to feel like you've done something productive at least, something that at least attempts to make the world a better place.
Do you think pushing the envelope thematically is the final frontier for dance music? As you said, dance music hasn't typically been associated with bigger picture messages.
Dance music is just about having a good time, doing drugs and just doing something that takes you away from your normal life, I guess. But for me, like the stuff that we do with Major Lazer, I got into performing it live because there was always this punk attitude to it. And I think Major Lazer has a kind of punk attitude too. I think with reggae there's always been a reason to talk about social issues and we're just keeping in line with that, because that's what you can do with reggae music.
I think doing it with dance music is effective because it also reaches people right now. But my record isn't "political" just because there are a couple of political things in there. I think working with Snoop was more "political" because he is an older guy and he has something to talk about: he wants to talk about things that make sense like that. He's forty plus and he has grown children, so he wants to make a difference with music.
I guess you could get tired of always making songs about getting drunk and banging chicks.
Yeah. He lives in the suburbs and he does comedy and has a YouTube channel. He doesn't spend time in the hood in gangs and shoot people. That's not what he does. That's not worth talking about in his life.
Coming off the back of Ultra which had like 300,000 raver kids come through the gates, where do you feel that you and especially Major Lazer fit within the whole "EDM" thing? Or do you see yourself as sitting outside of it?
Well we definitely don't fit on that stage anymore. We had like 15,000 kids showing up for our show. I think Ultra was trying to do everything: they had Snoop play, they had Hot Chip. They wanted to make it more of like a live thing. But Major Lazer, we do everything. We do a live thing, we have audience participation, but we also just play music that makes you go crazy. Like a club DJ that you want to hear at a festival.
So for me, it's just cool to take advantage of the opportunity that Ultra brings with all those kids. But really, we'll play for anybody. We played at Ultra, we play in Jamaica in night clubs, I played in Rio in a tiny club that only fit 400 people. We play anywhere, we don't care we what it is! We'll play for 40,000 people in Poland, 400 people in Brazil, we'll play during our time at home in Florida if we want. We just like to reach people.
Do you have a preference for what kinds of sets you like to play? Do you prefer mainstage sets or those small clubs in Jamaica?
We like to play mainstage sets because we like to embarrass other DJs because they're all so boring. That's one thing we like to do. But a lot of the time our fans aren't at the main stage just for us. They're also thing for trance acts or whatever. But we just like to go in there and give people more of a show and do something differently musically. We don't wanna just play the same top ten Beatport tracks everyone else is playing, we wanna play new stuff. Maybe remix those top ten Beatport tracks live or something!
I don't really have a preference, but everything is a competition for me because we come from the reggae scene where as a DJ you try to compete: you try to play newer, better and more special records than the other DJs. I take that same approach to dance music.

Camilla can set her watch by her hunky rocket-scientist neighbor who jogs past her window each day. She relishes each glimpse of his shirtless abs, and is dying to see more. But it's hard to connect with a man who doesn't seem to know she exists....
Ivan feels at home in the lab, not in social situations. When he finally approaches his attractive neighbor, it's not for a date - he wants tutoring in how to behave at an important fundraiser. Ivan doesn't expect the chemistry between them to be quite so explosive, and is surprised when Cami actually accepts his proposal to embark on a series of "lessons".
Cami soon discovers Ivan's schedule isn't the only thing he likes to be strict about - he needs to be charge in the bedroom as well. She's shocked at how much she comes to enjoy her submissive side, but wonders if a real relationship is in the equation....

Busy mom who loves to read but doesn't always have the time. I enjoy YA, Romance and the occasional Best Seller.
"The Theory of unbelievable and just ok"
Thank goodness this book was short. There isn't much of a story there and the narration isn't the best. I just found it hard to believe Ivan had a secret side to him. He just seemed too socially clueless to be that "in-charge" in the bedroom. I would rate this book as just OK. Not the worst I've read but not the best either.
"Good storyline with a lot of hard core passion."
I love romance but sometimes I just want the characters to get straight to the point.
My favorite things are my family and my books! Depending on the day, not in that order. :)
"Dawn's Review of The Theory of Attraction"
Ivan and Camilla are an odd pair. The story goes through a period of time that they make a deal to help Ivan learn to be "normal" in social situations. The book is quirky and cute. It's a fun read/listen if you've got some time to kill.
Say something about yourself!
"Yummy scientist Dom!!!!"
Some may not find this 5 star worthy but I am a scientist and really connected with this story. Other reviewers found the premise implausible that a socially awkward and inept man could be a Dom, I didn't! When you skip grades and are a genius it usually comes at a price and that price for Ivan in this book is that social niceties don't make sense to him, but he needs to adapt in order to get funds to fuel his research.
His teacher that he seeks out is a girl who while a nerd has adapted to social norms and can explain it to Ivan...what she wasn't expecting was the amount of total control Ivan has in ALL aspects of his life....I found it plausible that Ivan was a Dom because there can't be lies in that type of relationship, no white lies, no half truths, your body either responds or it doesn't, there is no guessing.
For me this book was awesome, I already down loaded number two, sincerely hope for more!
I love books and love to get lost in the fantasy. I'm always looking for a new good story to bury myself in. :)
"Great story with a Geek BDSM hero! :D"
4.5-5 stars
This was a very good read. I enjoyed it a lot. Cami and Ivan are a good combo and I was totally rooting for them.
Cami lives next door to Ivan. The area she lives in has a lot of "Geek" type men as neighbors, many of whom end up hanging at her place a lot. Ivan is among the people that hang out but he's never shown any interest in her as a woman. She's convinced he feels nothing for her; unfortunately for her, she totally has the hots for him. Things change when Ivan asks her to help him learn to socialize better in an effort to do better at fundraisers for work.
Ivan is literally a rocket scientist. He graduated from college with his undergrad at 15 (and that's only because his parents held him back). He's very smart but seems to almost be slightly autistic. He reminds me of a hotter version of Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. He has a strict schedule and regulation of most things in his life in an effort to control the world around him. I guess because of this it shouldn't be surprising that he feels the need to control things in sexual situations as well which is why Ivan feels comfortable with BDSM, as a Dom he has control.
TBH, I'm not sure if Ivan set up the lessons to try to get in to a relationship with Cami or he really just wanted the lessons and the relationship just came about...or maybe a combo of both (I suspect this one). Cami has no real knowledge of BDSM so it's interesting to see them explore it together while she's also trying to teach him how to behave better around others.I really liked Ivan and Cami and was happy to see them together. Of course there were difficulties because Ivan just doesn't comprehend certain things about women and relationships which leads to some issues/misunderstandings that need to be worked out.
I really enjoyed this story. I think that Cami and Ivan are a great couple and I really liked reading their story. This was good enough that I'm planning to read the next in the series. I'm glad I bought this, it was worth the read. I'd recommend it. Thumbs up! :D
I really enjoy the world of books! Narration just add layers to that world... don't u think? :)
"A suprise read!"
I actually really like this. I liked Ivan's character more than I really wanted too. I think he had asperser's syndrome or something, but he was a rocket genius with a bdsm kink at the same time. I mean Ivan was a totally brilliantly hot character. The story had a nice plot, but I think the writer could have done more with why Ivan needed the Clara's help...
Any story read by Clarissa Knightly ups it by like 2 stars... she just brings the sexuality up in any story she reads, literally.
"cool narrator but the story was a little dull"
She did not keep a mono tone feel through out the story . She would change her voice slightly to go with the scene
I love audio books that the characters come to life and have me feeling as if I was there too.
"This Theroy Attracted Me"
How the guy was nerdy but sexy
Big Bang Theory meets 50 shades ..The nerdy aspect and the BDSM aspect
It's was fine
Sexy Nerd 50 shades enough said
I crave encounters with humans or beings of all types, a big adventure in far away places but also I am a incurable hopeless romantic
"Trying to be Fifty and failing"
This is Fifty meets the Big Bang Therory. In truth if I did not already read the Shades of Gray series I may have liked it better... But there were so many direct rip offs that it took away from an already just ok book

A good deal of this material is second hand: excerpts from history books, newspapers, often mere hearsay. Some of it still holds interest, but much is tedious and no longer pertinent. Running through all these discursive and diffuse subjects is the exciting and intriguing autobiography of the author during his first thirty years. In making this condensation the emphasis has been upon this latter portion of the book. I have attempted to follow a direct story line, using for the greater part the events in which Dumas was directly involved, and introducing only enough of the other material to supply background and understanding of the narrative. - Foreword.

Discussion in 'Texans Talk' started by Wolf, Aug 3, 2007.
I wish Mathis the best this year, he is trully a dangerous weapon on the football field and we should all apprecate how lucky we are to have him.
If he can stay healthy and has good hands, he could be like Steve Smith. That would be an awesome weapon with AJ.
He and Devin Hester have a lot in common.
Mathis has more straight line, track sprinter speed than anyone I've ever seen in the NFL.
Mathis looked like an NFL receiver, last night. Running routes, catching with his hands, getting off the LOS, putting himself between the ball and the defender. He also turned into a DB, and deflected a sure interception for Bennett. Jones looked very good, too. Those two could turn a problem area into a position of strength if they continue to play well.
This is awsome. One of my favorite players. Lets just hope he stays healthy.
Good info, I have been extremely critical of Mathis and I honestly never thought he would make it out of camp. if this is to continue he will have a much more crucial role this year than could have been thought of.
If he can stay healthy, he is a weapon for sure in the return game, and it sounds like he is making major progress in becoming a legit weapon at WR. The key phrase is IF he can stay healthy.
Be honest. Who thought this was a Jake Plummer thread?
This real good news. Thanks.
This is true, but I believe he wouldn't be as missed this year as he was last season. JJ's looking pretty dadgum sharp lately. IMO, he and Mathis have been equally impressive at returns. I'll give JJ the edge at the WR position.
Behind JJ, we have Bethel and Wynn too. Having Mathis healthy would just be an added bonus. I just hope the spot he takes on the roster isn't one we'll regret.
Good point. If Mathis has his wheels back and is replaying his first season, he will definitely be worth a roster spot. Having said that, what if his receiver skills (even with his speed) have him low on list of WR? Do the other guys on the team allow Mathis to be cut or traded? Or can we afford to keep a potential Pro bowler at returns and let another player go? I am saying we keep him.
The thing is many of the super stud return men in recent years have been mediocre at their regular position (see Dante Hall, Devin Hester, Jermaine Lewis, the beer truck guy who's name escapes me right now). As a result, it's been a bit of a tradeoff for those teams between keeping them around for returns or keeping another more versatile player on the team.
If Mathis can be a legit receiving threat, that would give us a nice toy that few teams have. Plus since he wouldn't be expected to carry TOO much of the offensive load, we could keep throwing him back for returns without fear that a potential injury would cripple the offense.
same here.

The extreme-value dependence of Asia-Pacific equity markets
In this paper we study the dependence structure of extreme realization of returns between seven Asia-Pacific stock markets and the U.S. Methodologically we apply the multivariate extreme value theory that best suits to the problem under investigation. The evidence we obtain indicates that extreme correlations are not substantially different from the unconditional ones or from those obtained from multivariate GARCH models. A clustering analysis shows that the Asia-Pacific countries do not belong to a distinct block of countries on the basis of the extreme correlations we have estimated. The policy implications of our study are that the benefits from portfolio diversification with assets from the Asia-Pacific stock markets are not eroded during crisis periods, in the sense that no correlation breakdown has been observed.

In the centre of town
I booked this hotel as my son and I had business in Leighton Buzzard.
The hotel is well located in the centre of the high street and handy for reaching any part of LB within a few minutes. The hotel was clean, smart and well appointed and the price we paid we thought was good value. There was a little bit of noise in the evenings and early morning but nothing excessive. The food was general pub fare but good value.

The Swan Hotel - a JD Wetherspoon Hotel
Very poor quality and service unable to speak to reception in morning to give our remarks in person.
Dirty bathroom, light on bedside not working, very noisy breakfast was not as you would expect only eggs on toast, milk in gravy boat, soup spoon for cereals not dessert spoon, not busy in restaurant when eating, left at 9.00am.

Good room....but!
This was our first stay at The Swan.
We were put on the 3rd floor, the receptionist said it would be quieter. There was a lift to the second and a short flight of stairs to the 3rd. Not a problem for us. The room was nicely decorated, very clean and had plenty of tea and coffee available. A very efficient heater warmed the room quickly. The problem was the noise from the pub smoking area. We were out the back overlooking the smoking area. The window was shut but we could clearly hear the laughing, shouting and swearing. This went on until very late into the night. We travel with earplugs to hand which helps. Our stay was on Friday/Saturday nights so it may be better.during the week.
We had standard Wetherspoons breakfasts which was reasonably priced and the quality was fine but not very hot. We would stay again but would ask for a room facing the front.

Swan Inn
Excellent as usual room was just a little warm due to the exceptional weather
Weekend break
My husband and myself had booked this hotel so we could travel to the F1 at silverstone, and also to look around the area.
We were most impressed with the hotel and the friendliness of all the staff. Upon arrival on the Saturday, I was a little worried as the pub was very busy, I assumed the noise would travel upwards to the rooms. When we found out our room was directly above the front door I felt sure this would be so, but no, I was totally wrong, you couldn't hear anything. The reception staff were very helpful and couldn't do enough, the room itself was very comfortable and clean, the only drawback we found was the pillows, perhaps investing in some firmer ones would be an advantage, although we both slept very well. There was a continues supply of teabags, coffee etc for the rooms. The food was very good, like in a Wetherspoons we have eaten in, and was very busy on the Saturday evening but we didn't have to wait long.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would defiantly stay there again, thank you

UNHCR, UNFPA and WRC conducted a joint field assessment of risks involved for refugee and migrant women and girls in Greece and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in November 2015. Single women travelling alone or with children, pregnant and lactating women, adolescent girls, unaccompanied children, early-married children – sometimes themselves with newborn babies – persons with disabilities, and elderly men and women are among those who are particularly at risk and require a coordinated and effective protection response. This joint venture was the first among several field missions and profiling exercises that aid and advocacy agencies are conducting to accurately assess the problems on the ground and recommend key actions to address these concerns.

CBS is reporting that the number of absentee ballots that have already been cast foreshadows particularly heavy turnout in Tuesday's recall election.
Local election clerks who track absentee voting through a statewide computer system had issued at least 182,000 absentee ballots by midday Friday, foreshadowing what is expected to be heavy turnout next week. Almost 231,000 absentee ballots were cast during the 2010 gubernatorial race, which saw Walker beat Barrett by about 125,000 votes. However, only a third of Wisconsin clerks use the tracking system, which means the actual number of ballots issued so far in the recall is likely much, much higher.
Clerk's office employees said they extended hours on Friday, the last day for absentee voting, because of the high volume of voters seeking to cast their ballot ahead of the June 5 recall election. Employees told CBS Affiliate WISC upward of 1,250 people voted in Madison on Friday - the most of any day so far, officials said.
Former President Clinton spoke in Milwaukee on Friday to endorse Democratic challenger Tom Barrett, saying that both parties need to work together for Wisconsin to see an economic recovery. Referencing events last year when Democrats fled the state to block a vote on collective bargaining privileges, Clinton told the crowd that, "constant conflict is a dead bank loser, and you need to get rid of it".
In the meantime, Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch says that President Obama's lack of presence in Wisconsin 'speaks volumes' and doesn't bode well for Democrats.
"I think what it says specifically is that the president doesn't want to be associated with a losing campaign, and Tom Barrett's campaign right now doesn't have a whole lot of facts to stand on."
She has a point. President Obama won in Wisconsin by 14 points in 2008. If the president were more confident that it will remain a blue state this year, wouldn't we have seen him there by now?

Air Force might not have Kevin Fogler for the next few weeks, but at least the Falcons have someone that plays like him.
Zach Kauth isn't as experienced as Fogler, but they look alike. Kauth is 6-4, 205 pounds, a similar big target to the 6-5, 215-pound Fogler. Since Fogler might not be back until mid-November with a knee injury, Kauth is one of the players that has to help fill the void.
He already had been patterning his game after Fogler.
"He's the guy I go to when I need to ask a question about a block or a route," Kauth said. "Same body build, same mentality, same way we move."
Kyle Halderman could also get some extra time at the "X" receiver spot that Fogler manned before the injury. Brandon Hirneise is another receiver who will get some more playing time with Fogler out. Kauth has filled in for Fogler before with some good results. He caught three passes for 45 yards against Oklahoma after Fogler left the game with a head injury.
Fogler was Air Force's best deep threat, so losing him will affect the offense.
"It's a real big loss for us," receiver Jonathan Warzeka said. "Collectively, more than one person is going to have to step up to replace Fogler."
Not looking forward
Saturday will be a big game for both teams, but that doesn't mean everyone on Navy's side is looking forward to the trip.
"I don't really like going out to Colorado Springs because it's hard to breathe," Navy safety Wyatt Middleton said. "But it's a beautiful place."
Almost a sellout
Earlier this week, Air Force had about 1,500 tickets left for Saturday's game, and was hopeful it could sell out. The Falcons had a sellout for their last home game, against BYU.
