A quick, and perhaps messy, transcription of Penguins C Sidney Crosby's post-practice media scrum today at St. Pete Times Forum. He spent about 35 minutes on the ice with teammates, followed by approximately another 15 to 20 working out individually. He participated in all drills and was worked into a power-play rotation.
Q: Did you push for something like this?
A: No. They basically tell me what to do. They know better than I do. I was pretty excited to hear that I'd be joining the team and would do a little pregame skate here and there.
Q: Did they tell you what to look for next?
A: With every step it's that you don't get symptoms. Obviously it's not just one day. It's at least a few days if not more. The main thing is to not look too far ahead, just try to get through each step and hopefully it goes well.
Q: How does skating with the guys help you progress?
A: Just the motion, all the guys out there, it's something you take for granted a lot, but it's something you have to get readjusted too. It puts a little added pressure on your brain a bit when everyone is moving out there and you have to react to all that. So, it's just trying to see how that goes.
Q: Have you had any symptoms recently?
A: No. At this point when you haven't skated that much and you're out there it's important that you're able to separate the two into being fatigued, feeling what's new, and what's symptoms of a concussion. That's why it's more than one day.
Q: Did you take something like this for granted?
A: I don't think I ever do, but it's easy not to realize until you go through something like this, how easy those things and how they're really not sometime. I don't think I've ever taken it for granted, but I don't know if it's something you think about until you go through something like this?
Q: What is the balance of being in hockey-shape and back from a concussion?
A: I've got to be ready no matter what. Whether you're coming back from injury going into the playoffs or the regular season, you've got to make sure you're healthy. It's a matter for me making sure I'm healthy. If that takes two months, it takes two months. If it doesn't, great – but I can't really control it. I've just got to do the right things to try and feel good and get back to where I need to be, but I'm not looking too far ahead at all. This was a good opportunity to get back on the ice, but it's just another small step.
Q: Does the unknown aspect of a concussion make this harder?
A: Yeah, it does. There's no set time. Usually with certain things you've got a set time frame, that's not the case. With the time of the year – that doesn't make it any easier. It's just a frustrating thing in general to go through. There's so many different opinions. Everyone who's gone through concussions react differently, so it's not easy to get a real grasp on what you're going to go through. That's been different. That's been the challenge.
Q: Was there any damage from the Hedman hit?
A: I don't know. It probably didn't help. I would say it didn't help.
Q: Did you head hit the glass on that hit?
A: Yeah.
Q: Does going through the mental preparation of a game day practice help test your brain?
A: I'm not too worried about that. The first step is just being able to go out there and work at the pace you need to work at, deal with all that motion – that's really the main thing I want to go through and get done. It's kind of small steps and it doesn't seem like much, but when you go through the last few months it feels like a lot. It's nice to be out there.
Q: What does it say about your team that they're in this position without you and Malkin?
A: It says a lot. It's amazing to see what we've gone through. It wasn't just me and Geno. We had seven or eight guy regular guys out. IT's been different guys. (Fleury's) been huge throughout the whole year, (Kennedy) recently putting the puck in the net. It takes everybody collectively, and we all know that. This has been a pretty good reminder of the character we have in this room.
Q: What was your reaction when they told you that you could get back out there with teammates?
A: I was pretty excited. It doesn't seem like much. You do that 80 times a year, but it feels good. Especially because I've been sitting around a bunch of time now; it was just nice to be around the guys, you miss that a lot.
Cheers until faceoff,

Bought Mine 43 years ago for indoor target practice when I was in Police reserves. (Retired Fed Cop now) Great Pistol and very accurate. Shot a pesky squirrel the other day with it and yes the seal leaks down slightly but only needed one shot. It's in mint condition and I it is was good for practice with its weight and similarities to the old 38 Police Specials. I don't know its value (with orig box etc) but I give it 4 stars only because it used a lot of gas for 22 cal and a 177 cal would… Read Full Review

I also bought mine in 1968 just before I went in the Marine Corps out of High School. I found it in the basement of my parent's house as we were cleaning out after they passed away. I bought a seal repair kit and a trigger lever(the old one broke) it's a little leaky, but still works and shows age from being on a basement shelf,but still a lot of fun. I had forgotten all about it, but as an aside, it's also great practice for my wife and grandkids as they learn firearms safety and marksmanship.

This is a fun gun to play around with it it quite accurate and durable. I have one that use to be my grandfathers so its like 20 years old haven't had to fix it once the only problem is that there is such a long distance to pull the trigger and it is so heavy that by the time it shoots it misses so I just pull the hammer back and put my other hand on the bottom of the handle under my other hand this way it is much more accurate… Read Full Review

I can't remember when I bought this Crosman 38T .22 cal gun but it must have been at least 20 years ago. I have had it rebuilt 2 times. Its very accurate and feels good in my hand. Loading the pellets is a bit of a chore although it does give the co2 cylinder time to warm up. This gun is not in production any more but if you find one, its worth rebuilding… Read Full Review

United Kingdom-based telecommunications company Vodafone, on Monday announced that it would be transfering its 35% stake in Kenya's Safaricom to majority-owned South African subsidiary Vodacom.
The move is part of the telecommunication giant's strategy to consolidate two of its African interests and rationalise the company's disparate portfolio of assests around the world.
"Obviously it's a big step in terms of commitment from Vodafone to Vodacom. Selling the asset to us does show that the assets are all under Vodacom," chief executive Shameel Joosub told reporters via a conference call.
The deal, which is valued at R34.6 billion, will give Vodacom a 87.5% share in Vodafone Kenya, which represents a 35% indirect interest in Safaricom. In return, 226.8 million new shares will be issued to Vodafone, raising the UK company's holdings from its current 65% to 69.6%.
The move gives Vodacom access to a market in which Safaricom has a 71% share, with demand for its cellular phone services - and its M-Pesa payments platform - still growing.
"Safaricom is a high-growth, high-margin and high cash-generating business," Joosub told journalists.
"Vodacom Group sees scope to create further value through closer cooperation between both companies, including replication of Safaricom's success in M-Pesa in Vodacom Group's other territories."
The news pushed Vodacom shares up 0.2% on Tuesday morning, where Vodafone's shares were down 0.3%.

With an NHL lockout looking relatively likely, Flyers fans may not get a chance to see Claude Giroux and the boys playing at the Wells Fargo Center any time soon.
But thanks to Giroux winning the NHL 13 cover honors, the Flyers best player is featured in some video promos for the game.
Here's one on the new physics-based skating:
Now I'm admittedly a couple of years removed from college my video game playing days, but damn if that's not some serious player control. My thumbs are already exhausted from watching Claude skate so damn hard. Giroux makes me want to go out, buy a Playstation/XBox with a copy of NHL 13 and TAKE THAT FIRST SHIFT.
The above video comes via Puck Daddy, who has team and player rankings for the Eastern Conference in the game. The only issue I have with it all is Claude Giroux is only rated a 90??? I counted seven players in the Eastern Conference alone with higher ratings.
The game-makers must be from Pittsburgh or something.

The Entharans were a warp-capable species found in the Delta Quadrant.
Physically they were humanoids with a complex bone structure around the top of their noses.
They relied primarily on trade as a method of survival and placed great emphasis on maintaining good relations with their buyers. Consequently, even an accusation of wrongdoing could end the career of an Entharan trader.
They were encountered in 2374 by the USS Voyager. The crew attempted to buy goods from Kovin, a weapons trader. Unfortunately, an accident during a demonstration led Seven of Nine to wrongfully accuse the trader of mistreating her. Sadly, Kovin was killed before the mistake could be rectified. (VOY: "Retrospect")
The species name "Entharan" was devised by Lisa Klink, who co-wrote "Retrospect" with Bryan Fuller. (Information from Larry Nemecek)

March 2013 Integrated Solutions For Retailers
By Matt Pillar, editor in chief
As this month's mobile retailing report suggests, the mobile payments technology infrastructure is proven, but the pieces must be carefully placed.
As a fitting complement to this month's special report on mobility, we had an opportunity to ask Dom Morea, SVP of advanced solutions and innovation at First Data, a few questions about payment processing in an increasingly mobile environment. Here's what Dom had to say.

Discussion in 'Pros' Racquets and Gear' started by freedomtennis, Feb 21, 2010.
I think Djokovic looked better Adidas. What do you think about his new clothes?
they are OK, but some adidas clothes were prettier yes..but there were some ugly adidas clothes also.
I don't like this ST line.....only black looks good.
Maybe FO line will be better if they make it.
If I'm not mistaken Nike and Adidas make new line for each grad slam....???
He looks like he's wearing Bruce Lee pyjamas circa 1975.
Djoker's get-up agaisnt that qualifier during the 09 USO was god awful.
I liked his Addidas clothes too. They dress their guys/girls good.
Nole said his idols Pete Sampras and John McEnroe have won almost all titles … wearing the Sergio Tacchini logo. So he is trying to emulate his idols. I think Nole looks good no matter what he wears. He and Rafa are the only good looking players in the top 10. Well, Roddick maybe too. So they can get away with wearing what they want.
He is trying to emulate his $$$. Adidas is very stylish and Sergio is old finished hat.
Doesn't everyone want $$$. Why did Murray leave Fred Perry the Brit label?
Its fine imo, not so great but not so bad either.
Him looking good will bring him more money in the end. They do look pajama like. Not much between shorts and the rest of him
I think it's okay
I want more pros to wear just t-shirts in matches
they make them look "human"
Like fed in a t-shirt during practice looks like a guy i would see at my club.... with awesome calves.. no ****
If I were pro, I'd only wear T-shirts. I like cotton way better than polyester shirts. But alas, I'm not wear near that good
No,Tarchini clothes,the black ones look a lot better.
I agree, but do I care? Nope
Djokovic makes the Tachini stuff look good
i don't think the problem is the clothes...he looks like screech and he's sporting the hightop haircut

10 Father's Day Restaurant Deals That Include Booze for Dad
Courtesy Ashland Hill
Father's Day is a time for restaurants to set aside their French-inspired brunch buffets and dainty prix fixe dinners in lieu of meat-centric, alcohol-heavy feasts. These lunches, dinners and all-day specials on June 21 make beer, cocktails and spirits all part of the deal.
California's Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control frowns upon the word "free," but with one-cent beers, bottomless bloody Marys and half-price offers on cocktails and wines by the glass, the city is full of places doing their best to give dad a cold one. Here are a few of L.A.'s best Father's Day deals that include booze for pops.
At Santa Monica's neighborhood beer garden — which opened in the old Wildflour space in January — chef Brad Miller is serving one-cent beers to all dads who dine in. The beer of the day isn't too shabby, either: Anderson Valley's Boont Amber Ale, a classic California craft brew, which he can pair with the paprika-hollandaise benedict or lamb-and-pork hash from Ashland/Hill's brunch menu. 2807 Main St., Santa Monica; (310) 392-3300; ashlandhill.com.
Indian food is one of the best pairings for light and crisp beers (especially IPAs), the beer's dryness balancing out the cuisine's lovely spices. At Cardamom — a contemporary Indian restaurant on Beverly Boulevard, where dad can get a complimentary beer with his meal — the basic saag and chicken masala are there, but so are rare pan-regional Indian dishes such as Manju's Lamb Shank (slow-simmered overnight in a spicy tomato sauce), Jhinga Patia (Parsi-style tiger prawns cooked in a zesty hot-and-sour sauce) and Sylheti Murgh (chicken tikka simmered in a naga chili sauce). 7233 Beverly Blvd., Fairfax; (323) 936-1000; cardamomla.com.
House cocktails at The Detour
Courtesy of The Detour
The Detour Bistro Bar
Just a few months into being West Washington's new neighborhood brunch spot, the Detour in Culver City is offering half-price drinks all day for dads (or buy one get one free, if you prefer). Included in the Father's Day deal: house cocktails such as a Honey Old-Fashioned or a Mini Mai Tai; bottled beers from Lagunitas, Leffe and more; and wines by the glass from the bistro's small, curated selection. Let dad go deep on drinks while he eats from the Detour's menu of scrambles, small plates and dinners (try the Cubano sandwich, made with slow-cooked pork). 12473 W. Washington Blvd., Culver City; (424) 289-8191; thedetourbistrobar.com.
Fuego at Hotel Maya
The buffet at Fuego (which has stunning views of the Long Beach harbor) screams dad. In addition to the requisite omelet and dessert stations, the hotel restaurant's Father's Day Barbecue and Beer Brunch also has a seafood and ceviche area — with jumbo gulf shrimp, Alaskan king crab legs and Citrus Bay scallops — and a Brazilian churrascaria station featuring brisket, kielbasa, New York strip steak and ribs. Endless Montejo beer, bloody Marys and sparkling wine are included in everyone's $60 brunch ticket. 700 Queensway Drive, Long Beach; (562) 435-7676; hotelmayalongbeach.com.
Los Balcones
We absolutely love Peruvian food, and Los Balcones in Hollywood is home to local masters of the country's diverse cuisine. They have created some Americanized riffs on Peruvian food for their recently launched brunch menu, which includes salsa criolla benedicts and chicharron-and-sweet-potato hash. Buy dad any of the new brunch dishes on Father's Day and he'll also get a pisco sour, made with the Peruvian liqueur, egg whites, lime juice and Angostura bitters. 1360 Vine St., Hollywood; (323) 871-9600; losbalconesperu.com.
Popcorn and Peroni poolside at Mr. C
Courtesy of Mr. C Hotels
Mr. C Beverly Hills
Lounge poolside at the Mr. C Beverly Hills this Father's Day. Executive chef Guiseppe Manco is cooking a Venetian-inspired buffet complete with an Italian grigliata (grilled) station where salmon, rib-eye, ahi tuna and burgers will be cooked on an open fire. The Italian lager Peroni will be on tap, too, and dads get a complimentary first pour with their $75 buffet ticket. Bottomless bellinis and mimosas are also available for $30. 1224 Beverwil Drive, Beverly Hills; (310) 277-2800; mrchotels.com.
Ox & Son
Another recent opening from chef Brad Miller (see: Ashland/Hill above) is offering one-cent beers for dads on Father's Day. A meat-loving neo-American restaurant on the eastern edge of Montana Avenue in Santa Monica, Ox & Son has everything from sticky pig cheeks with black rice to a prime charcrust hangar steak, along with an oyster bar and a good selection of draft beer. On Sunday, however, it's the cheap stuff, Schlitz, that's on special, costing one penny per pint. 1534 Montana Ave., Santa Monica; (310) 829-3990; oxandson.com.
The Pikey
British pub The Pikey pulls out all the stops for holiday meals, and Father's Day is no different. Bring dad to Sunday brunch, when the Hollywood spot is already slinging smoked meats, and he can choose from sticky smoked pork ribs, curried potato hash with a fried turkey leg, a market frittata or a classic full English breakfast. Until 3 p.m., a Peroni or a bloody Mary comes included for dads. Heading in for dinner? The vintage whiskey flights are divine. 7617 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood; (323) 850-5400; thepikeyla.com.
Courtesy STK
Steak and whiskey belong together, and there's a restaurant in Manhattan Beach now dedicated to the combination. At the newly remodeled STK LA, Father's Day is an excuse to take this pairing to the extreme with a $60 special that will get dad a cut of dry-aged Australian Wagyu beef and a glass of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, which itself can run up to $40 a shot. The steak will be served with horseradish potatoes, red watercress and cedar-roasted morels, which should be a great accompaniment to the smoky Scotch, which blends together liquid from the best casks in the Johnnie Walker collection. 755 N. La Cienega Blvd., West Hollywood; (310) 659-3535; stkhouse.com.
Venice Whaler
Sundays tend to get schwasty at the Venice Whaler (we named it one of the most hard-partying bars in L.A.), but that's even more of a reason to head to the end of Washington Boulevard with dad this Sunday, when he'll get to base layer with a decadent brunch of short-rib hash or chicken and waffles, then wash it down with crabshell bloody Marys, a Whaler Old-Fashioned or a domestic draft. First beer for dad is on the house. 10 W. Washington Blvd., Venice; (310) 821-8737; venicewhaler.com.

27 October 2008
But then Budaj found his game, as many of us believers knew he would. This lead to a dramatic increase in the polls. And like any good campaign It's time to push the story...
PETER BUDAJ is officially the second best player in the NHL last week
He was given the honor for his strong play in the Avs three wins over the surprisingly feisty Kings, the previously streaking Oilers and the previously undefeated Sabres. Folks, this is a goalie we can believe in, and I suggest you start showing your support even more. We've weathered the storm, and come out stronger on the other side. And even though the pessimistic naysayers over at Anti-Budaj central have been reluctant to give Buds his due, many of the Avs faithful kept the faith, didn't panic and knew that Budaj would pull through. (UPDATE: Other members of the Avs underground, such as Mile High Hockey, are still strongly displaying their continuous support of Peter Budaj.)
Still some believers have not been sold. And even though Budaj has silenced them with his play of late, they continue to brush off his good play as luck, and continue to blame every single goal against on the nebulous concept of goaltender positioning which, like the economy, every one is an expert in... except the actual elitist experts. The best way to shut them up is for our candidate, Peter Budaj, to go out and play the way we all know he is capable of playing...
And I believe he will.
Note: Believe it or not, I was going to let Budaj's strong play of late slide a little. I wasn't going to say too much about it. This is mostly because I think it would be hypocritical of me to say "a few games do not define a goaltenders ability. Goalies have natural down and up games and making any judgment on such a small sample size would be foolish," as I was saying after Budaj struggled the first few games, and then come out and declare Buds awesome after a few strong games. so I wasn't going to say anything until a few more strong games by our heroic candidate...
..But you can't really expect me to let this slide right?

Kirksville welcomes Hartzell Hardwoods
Tue, 21 Aug 2012 23:29:13 GMT —
Kirksville officially welcomes a new business to the town.
The Kirksville Area Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday morning for Hartzell Hardwoods.
The company, which got its start in Ohio, recently bought Reliant Hardwoods in Kirksville.
Hartzell decided to come to Kirksville since the state of Missouri is a primary grower of walnut trees, which is one of the main woods the business uses.
It's also been the support of the Kirksville community that helped the company make the decision to move to the Heartland.
"The reception we've received has been overwhelming. It has been phenomenal of the help we've received from businesses. It has been great. We plan to be a big part of the Kirksville community. We think it has been a great move. I think it will be a win-win situation for the company, the community, and the state in general," said Hartzell Hardwoods President John Owsiany.
Hartzell is planning to expand over the next 10 months by putting in new equipment, expanding it facilities and increasing its workforce from 10 to 25, which will help out the Kirksville economy.

With military operations still under way in Iraq and Afghanistan, and with a struggling Japan in need of immediate aid, the United States should think long and hard before deciding to intervene in the atrocities unfolding in Libya.
That's not to say that the atrocities being committed under the direction of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi aren't appalling. It is to say that foreign entanglements are seldom simple or easy to plan. It may be more effective to provide pressures on the Gadhafi regime or to support the rebels in more indirect ways.
The Group of Eight powers couldn't agree this week on the idea of enforcing a no-fly zone over the African nation, which has been torn by civil strife since massive public uprisings against Gadhafi began last month. But the United Nations Security Council may still decide to pursue the matter.
Meanwhile, time is running out. Gadhafi appears to be gaining the upper hand against the rebels, and it appears he may be able to hold onto power through sheer brutality and force.
If the United States were to intervene, it should do so as part of a multinational effort. However, it is unclear whether the United States could afford to do so, whether such an intervention would be effective, and whether rebel opposition groups would move the country any closer to freedom and liberty. A similar intervention in Somalia years ago led to tragedy and chaos.
In addition, the United States and its allies would need a clearly defined mission with a specific end-strategy in mind — something that never was clear in Iraq or Afghanistan. As an official with the Rand Corp., recently told TIME, "What we've learned over the last 20 years is that overthrowing objectionable governments is easy; replacing them with something good is hard."
Even efforts conducted with the best intentions can easily go awry. A no-fly zone would have to be enforced through the air, which would expose U.S. pilots to anti-aircraft guns. Even if it were successful, some observers say Gadhafi's forces are having their best success on the ground. Would allied forces content themselves with watching from the skies as Gadhafi continues to slaughter his countrymen in decisive ground assaults? Are Americans prepared for the deaths and collateral damage that are bound to follow any intervention?
Large-scale humanitarian disasters ought to provoke calls for action among the world's civilized nations. By all accounts, including recent interviews on television, Gadhafi seems to have lost touch with reality. And yet an intervention into another nation's civil conflict is a matter of choosing sides, and those choices aren't always clear-cut.
With much of the Arab world in turmoil, the United States needs to tread carefully, lest it sets a precedent that would compel it to intervene in several other efforts to topple undemocratic regimes also.

Eyes To The Soul
Kehinde Wiley is a master of color and culture. Known for his portraitures of young black and brown males from different countries around the world, his unique expression makes the pieces memorable. It resonates. Sure there's the obvious attributes that scream for attention. It could be the bright and beautifully placed colors, intricately designed background or the contemporary youth posing in ways influenced by the old renaissance – either way it'll grab your attention.
But in our opinion, the most compelling aspect of his work is the way his subjects look back at you. There's something about their gaze that paints the intangible. It's emotional, thought-provoking and perhaps the most subtle beauty of his work.
If you find yourself in Culver City anytime soon, we highly recommend checking out his latest exhibition entitled The World Stage: Israel, which explores power, politics and the diversity of Israeli men. On view at the Roberts & Tilton Gallery till May 28th.

TALLAHASSEE — At the request of the Legislature, the state will challenge a judge's order blocking privatization of 30 prisons in South Florida.
Shortly before the courts closed for the day Monday, Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a notice of appeal with the First District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee.
Bondi's spokeswoman said she did so at the request of the Republican-led Legislature, which was not a party to the original lawsuit but whose actions were sharply criticized in the original ruling.
The decision extends the state's effort to implement the most ambitious outsourcing of government-run prisons to date in the United States.
The Legislature created the privatization plan in 18 counties, from Manatee to Monroe, and did so not by passing a bill but by attaching the provision to the entire prison budget in what's known as proviso language.
A union representing correctional officers, the Florida Police Benevolent Association, filed suit to block the project, and won. The union said thousands of officers' jobs were threatened.
Circuit Judge Jackie Fulford ruled Sept. 30 that the venture was in violation of state law and the Florida Constitution because it was not "rationally related" to the prison system's overall budget. A spending item that changes substantive law is invalid, the judge ruled.
Lawmakers had hoped to save $22 million this year by hiring a private vendor to run the prisons for 7 percent less than it costs the state to run them.
The PBA said Monday it would continue to emphasize what it called "the lack of significant savings" associated with prison privatization.
"We're ready to fight it at the next level," said Matt Puckett, executive director of the PBA. "We're very confident that it's not going to be overturned. I think there are a lot of tax dollars at stake here."
Bondi's action came as a bit of a surprise because the prison system and Gov. Rick Scott's office said earlier in the day that the ruling would not be appealed.
Times/Herald staff writer Mary Ellen Klas contributed to this report.

As a coach I am asked all kinds of questions about the game of tennis. People want to know how to fix anything from their strokes to their anticipation to their movement - and, just about everything in between. Having worked with thousands of players over the last 52 years of coaching, I can say without hesitation that no two players are alike. Here are answers to two questions that I am often asked that can help you fix your game!
Question #1: It seems like every time I blow a big point or a call doesn't go my way, I lose focus. What can I do?
Coaches fine tune a player's technique and skills, but the one area that remains "untouchable" is a player's coping skills in the heat of battle. If I could figure out how to strengthen player's ability to handle adversity, I'd not only be the most popular coach on the circuit... but, imagine what teachers, parents, employers, spouses would pay for me to work with all the easily frustrated people in their world!
So many students have no idea what they actually do or how they react after they blow a big point. At the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy we utilize video-replay sessions where the coach will either video the student themselves, or use the permanent cameras that are in place. It has been my experience a lot of players are surprised and the majority of them find it very productive to actually see their reactions on replay.

-Man is led to capture with elopement plans as bait-
Baltimore - Fate, in the person of Detective David Wingrove, could not catch Conley E. C. Coleman, so the Detective sent a woman after him, She caught him.
Coleman today was sentenced to six months in prison by Judge Stump after his conviction on
charges of burglarizing the home of Mrs. Anna B. Evans, with whom he roomed.
--Vanished on July 21--
On July 21 ,Coleman disappeared from the Evans home, 1406 South Charles Street, two rings and a watch were missing, Mrs. Evans told police at the time.
Detective Wingrove, assigned to the case, visited Coleman's room. There he found a letter from Mrs. Grace Nuckels of Cold Springs, Va. In the letter Mrs. Nuckels, a mother of five children, said she was willing to desert her family and elope with Coleman.
--Gets her to repent--
Detective Wingrove visited Mrs. Nuckels and through the aid of friends was instrumental, he testified, in getting her to forgo her elopement plans. The woman, according to testimony, was induced to write a letter to Coleman, who was then living in Staunton VA. She told Coleman to come to Cold Springs and that then they would elope. Coleman came.
--Gives up pistol--
He was armed when he called on her and Mrs. Nuckels induced him to give her the pistol, it was testified. "I've never carried a gun" she said. "I want to know what it felt like to be armed." He complied.
--Led him to capture--
Mrs. Nuckels led her quarry to the general store, where Detective Wingrove arrested him. The loot from the Evans home was found in his pockets. According to Wingrove, a letter was found in Coleman's pocket. The note was written, Wingrove believes, after the had decided to take his life.It told of plans to kill Mrs. Nuckels and a man whom Coleman claimed she was friendly, according to the detective. It also revealed Coleman's plan to rob and kill his uncle.
--Alibi is discovered--
Another letter, according to the detective, was written as an alibi to be used following the discovery of his contemplated crimes. This letter, addressed to his uncle, said that Coleman had joined the Ku Klux Klan and was "going straight" in the future, police said. The letter said Coleman was going to sail to Europe. Wingrove said that a membership card to the Klan was also found in Coleman's pocket. Coleman was sentenced after he pleaded guilty of taking the valuables from Mrs. Evan's home.

Stacey Cook speed camp adds Sullivan to stacked coaching roster
Stacey Cook, Steven Nyman, Marco Sullivan, TJ Lanning and John Teller: You could say this group knows something about going fast.
The Stacey Cook and Friends Speed Camp, set to commence this Memorial Day weekend, added extra firepower recently, enlisting the tutelage of Marco Sullivan and augmenting an already stacked coaching lineup.
"It's a camp based around speed elements and it's formatted to fit all ages, all abilities, so we've had mighty mice all the way up through masters," said Cook. "We try to keep the focus on everything being really comfortable and fun, teaching people to love speed, rather than be scared of it. And Steven and Marco are the perfect guys for that because they're both so carefree and fun. … There are so many Ski Team athletes that possess the skill; there aren't as many that possess the personality [for coaching]. We just thought Marco would fit right in."
This will be the fourth year Cook has held the camp, the second year Nyman has made an appearance and the first for Sullivan. They expect as many as 60 participants.
"We keep the group sizes between five and seven," said Cook. "[Steven, Marco and I] are rotating coaches, so we make sure that every group gets to spend time with all three of us, and then there are other all-star coaches from the Far West. We have a few U.S. Ski Team coaches involved, too."
Cook says one of the most important things about speed is being able to adjust to terrain. "We're constantly sending them through terrain changes and teaching them how to deal with that. But we don't just send them down the hill. We have a special progression that we follow."
The camp will also take participants into the ski cross course and into the trees to prepare racers for the unknown, a crucial part of speed racing, says Cook.
"The best way to do that is just put the miles in," she said. "It's really nice to spend some time coaching. So much of our lives are very selfishly focused around us as athletes. When we get to work with these kids and masters and you see improvements so quickly, it's really rewarding. Also, it helps our own careers when you can start to have an eye for coaching."

Debt ceiling: Boehner won't allow U.S. to default
GOP House Speaker John Boehner has told aides that he will not allow the U.S. to default on the federal deficit, going so far as to rely on Democratic votes to approve a debt-ceiling increase.
The Washington Post and New York Times reports that Boehner told several colleagues that he willing to do whatever is necessary to avoid defaulting on the federal debt, which is set to come up for a vote in two weeks.
The White House reacted skeptically, saying that GOP leaders have all along said they won't allow the country to default but hurt the economy in 2011 by not immediately approving the increase to the debt ceiling.

This is not a Popehat Signal.
If you follow online copyright issues, you've probably heard of Prenda Law, a controversial shop that has filed aggressive piracy cases against porn downloaders. Supporters say they vindicate legitimate copyright interests against pirates; detractors argue they rely on speculation in identifying alleged downloaders and practice what amounts to extortion in demanding targets choose between settlement or public identification. You can follow the controversy at sites like Ars Technica or Techdirt or any number of other blogs.
Recently Prenda Law — and the lawyers associated with it — have been accused of various forms of fraud in connection with their litigation strategy, including allegations that they either stole or made up an identity to serve as the corporate representative of one of their plaintiff entities. Prenda Law and its various associated attorneys hotly deny any wrongdoing. But hot denials have not prevented truly astonishing legal spectacles, like a jaw-dropping hearing in Florida or a extremely ominous inquiry by United States District Judge Otis Wright, whose inexorable wrath you should, if at all possible, avoid.
Prenda Law and its associated attorneys — possibly advised by Charles Carreon, possibly advised by someone recently hit quite briskly on the head with a shovel — have elected to manage this situation through broad and aggressive defamation actions in Illinois and Florida. Jordan Rushie collects them here. You can see commentary here and here, amongst many other places.
Prenda Law is pursuing not just Alan Cooper (who asserts that his identity was stolen for use as a bogus corporate representative) and his attorney, but online detractors including Fight Copyright Trolls and Die Troll Die, blogs devoted to criticizing what they regard as "copyright trolls." Prenda Law and its attorneys are also attacking many anonymous commenters and seeking to unmask them.
The lawsuits — which have been removed to federal court — are drafted in a manner that I can only describe as either malicious, reckless, or incompetent. Among their many problems:
1. In attacking Cooper and his lawyer, the complaints conflate things said outside of court (which might be subject to defamation analysis) with things said in court proceedings (which are almost certainly absolutely protected under the litigation privilege).
2. The complaints jumble and conflate statements which might be taken as statements of fact (and therefore might be susceptible to defamation analysis) with statements that are clearly, obviously statements of opinion, rhetorical flourishes, or hyperbole (and therefore cannot be the basis for a defamation claim).
3. Through vague and ambiguous pleading, the complaints seek to hold all defendants (Cooper, his lawyer, web sites, and anonymous commenters) liable for each others' statements, without any apparent basis for doing so. To the extent that the complaints purport to hold web sites liable for the statements of commenters, they run afoul of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. To the extent they seek to hold everyone liable for everything bad anyone else said about Prenda, they run afoul of, well, you know, the law.
I do not prejudge whether or not some of the statements cited in the complaints could be non-privileged false statements of fact susceptible to defamation analysis and attributed to people possibly responsible for them. But in my experience, competently pled defamation complaints pursued in good faith do not bury the proverbial pony in such an epic pile of horseshit. If Prenda Law or its attorneys do have legitimate claims of false statements of fact wrongly made against them, they have chosen for some reason to wrap those claims in a nearly impenetrable cloak of ambiguity and citations to clearly non-actionable statements. Rather, competent attorneys draft their defamation complaints in a manner that scrupulously avoids reliance on statements of opinion, rhetoric, or hyperbole in order to avoid motions to dismiss and anti-SLAPP motions. Complaints drafted like these smack of incompetence, lack of self-control, or malice.
Whether or not the lawsuits have any core merit, they are framed as overt attacks on internet anonymity and expressions of pure opinion. Such cases are best resolved when the defendants are represented by vigorous and competent counsel. As a member of the First Amendment Lawyers Association — and a writer concerned with free speech and the strong defense of defamation threats — I will be happy to offer my services by referring concerned bloggers or commenters to organizations that offer legal assistance in such cases or to pro bono counsel. When the time is right, I may put up the Popehat Signal.
Stay tuned.

Highland Walk is a peach of a state course in northeast Georgia
ROYSTON, Ga., - When you drive through this little northeast Georgia town, you'll see faded, larger-than-life paintings of Ty Cobb on downtown buildings. They look like they were done by an admiring artist from a different time.
You may also see the Ty Cobb museum, and other memorabilia involving the famous Georgia peach. You put all this together and you may assume, as most people do, that Royston was the birthplace of the famously ornery baseball great.
The problem is, it isn't true. Cobb was born in Tiny Narrows, Ga., though he moved to Royston at an early age and played ball for the semi-pro Royston Reds.
The people of Royston, mostly a manufacturing and retail town, don't exactly discourage the belief that Cobb was born here. Nor do they easily dredge up the ugly fact that Cobb's mother, Amanda, shot and killed his father, W.H. or the fact she was eventually acquitted of voluntary manslaughter.
Of course, the rumor that she may have been having an affair isn't subject to polite discussion, either.
It may or may not be a good thing that Highland Walk Golf Course wasn't built when Cobb was in his prime; he might have spiked his playing partners if he had loosed his famous temper.
In any case, Cobb - had he been a golfer - would certainly have liked the course because of its difficulty. The course, part of the Victoria Bryant State Park, is easily the most difficult of the eight courses in the Georgia state park system.
Northeast Georgia is home to more famous courses, like Cateechee in Hartwell, but for your average state park visitor, Highland Walk is usually more than they can handle.
"For me it's really hard," said high-handicapper Mike Bailey. "It's tearing my lunch up."
Mark Millard, a state park ranger, plays the course once a week, and said it doesn't get much easier.
"The first two holes are easy," Millard said. "I'm a short-ball hitter, so that makes it even tougher. Some of the par-4s are hard for me to reach. I can play anywhere else and shoot five to eight strokes better."
The first two holes are indeed routine, but the fun begins on the par-4, 413-yard third hole, where a tee shot of 200-plus yards uphill is required to reach the top of the hill. If you don't reach it, your ball could come rolling back toward you and you'll be facing a long, blind shot to the green.
No. 3 isn't the only long carry. The 381-yard 12th requires a long carry over a canyon to a green that slopes to the left, and the 17th, a 317-yard par-4, also requires a canyon carry of 217 yards or your ball disappears into a deep, Georgia pit.
"There are some tests out there," said head pro and general manager Karl Gross. "It's definitely a shot-maker's course. It's not really long, but hitting the fairway is a key. I've had a few folks say they'd prefer an easier facility."
Highland Walk is 6,407 yards from the tips, with a slope rating of 131. It's been softened somewhat, including new tee boxes on No. 12 and 17 for ladies and seniors.
Long carries aren't the only hurdles. Aside from the 28 sand bunkers and numerous grass bunkers, the fairways are sloping and tend to kick wayward, even accurate, tee shots into deep rough. The greens are difficult to read.
A blind, uphill approach on No. 9 can be tricky and No. 11 starts off with a blind tee shot. A tee shot on the uphill 13th that is in the middle or to the left will roll into the rough or woods.
The course averages under 20,000 rounds, catering mostly to locals, RVers and passers-through.
"We would like to be busier than that," Gross said. "Our biggest hurdle is not enough folks know about us yet."
Dennis Griffis designed the course, which was a nine-holer for more than 20 years. The course was closed in 2000 and opened two years later with an additional nine holes. All of the greens were renovated, and some of the original holes were also re-designed.
No. 1, for example, was a dogleg left, and is now straightaway, one of the easy holes on the course, which was built on steep, hilly terrain and features broad, crowned Bermuda fairways leading to big, sloping Bermuda greens.
The verdict
This is easily the hardest course to play in the Georgia state park system, but it can be a ton of fun if you can hit the ball off the tee. If you can't, you may want to consider playing the forward tees or another course.
It's also one of the more aesthetically pleasing; when the early-morning fog clears, it opens up nice views of the surrounding countryside.
And it's a bargain if you're looking for a stern test: $17 weekday green fees and $23 for weekend, plus $13 for cart. There are also junior and senior discounts, as well as for state employees.
Stay and play
Victoria Bryant State Park has 25 camp sites. Contact the park at (800) 864-7275.
If you're not a camper type, there are other lodging options: the Ramada Inn Limited of Royston (706) 246-0256 or the Guest House Inn of Lavonia (706) 356-8848.
Dining out
Try Booty's Fish House as you drive into Royston (706) 245-5441; or the Double Bridges Restaurant and Bar-B-Q (706) 245-7906.
Fast fact
The course offers beginner clinics on Saturdays for $10.

BWW Reviews: BUIKA'S Undeniable Vocal Talent Shines at Strathmore
This weekend, Concha Buika's colorful personality and passionate music filled the Music Center at Strathmore just outside of Washington, DC and then some. Better known to world music fans by her stage name "Buika," the Latin Grammy Award-winning singer and Grammy Award nominee's unique style borrows the best of African music, Spanish flamenco, and more. She's certainly one-of-a-kind - something she proved to the appreciative audience.
Backed by an exceptionally tight and musically gifted band - Yadam González on bass, the precise Vahagn Turogotyan on guitar, and the superb Ramón Porrina on the cajón flamenco - she made a musical impression from the beginning to the end. To simply say that her vocals were powerful would be an understatement. She exhibited a beautiful blend of not only vocal power and vocal control, but also raw and intense emotions as she took on numerous songs about love, loss, and other universal themes/human conditions. Of her many songs exploring these themes and more, "Soledad," "Santa Lucía," and "Sueño con ella," were among those that best leveraged Buika's powerful emotions and skillful voice to the greatest extent and brought me back to the semester I spent studying and living in the Andalucía region of Spain.
While the combination of Buika's vocals and the band's skillful playing proved to be a winning one - made even more fun to experience due to the rapport they had with one another - there were moments in the concert that weren't so winning for me. There's no doubt that Buika has a naturally quirky and charming personality to spare as evidenced by the way she engaged with her fellow musicians and the audience. She's also prone to wearing her heart on her sleeve. Both are good things. However, at times her often lengthy patter - dealing with her romantic woes, her child, her feelings about music, time, and pretty much everything else - borderlined on awkward and even treaded into the vulgar and downright uncomfortable territory. Less than ideal discussions about race and sex were probably best left to an intimate set late at night in a bar than a 7 PM Sunday night show in a stately concert venue particularly in this area of the world.
While I fully appreciate the laidback approach she took to presenting her music and her insistence on the audience sharing that journey with her in an inviting and relaxed environment, these numerous non-singing moments definitely got to be a little grating. A little bit of that goes a long way especially when one is that talented and can rely on those skills to make an audience take notice.
While not as much of a problem as the patter, I also would have appreciated a bit more variety in her set. While her song selections were undoubtedly ones that spoke to her - judging by her obvious connection with the lyrics and the melody - they did begin to sound the same after a while. Including a few quieter selections to balance out the high-flying vocal fireworks moments would have been a nice touch, recognizing of course that a lot of her music is based out of the flamenco world, which is not exactly known for its delicateness. Still, because Buika's music is influenced by a variety of styles, I do think it is possible to present her versatility better in a live concert format.
Quibbles aside, there's little doubt Buika's vocal prowess is undeniable.
Running Time: 1 hour and 40 minutes with no intermission.
Buika played the Music Center at Strathmore in Bethesda, Maryland for a one-night-only concert on April 6, 2014. For a listing of future offerings at Strathmore, consult its official website. For more information about Buika, consult her official website.

Jack Butland considers loan move to Championship club to keep World Cup dream alive
Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland admits he may have to go out on loan to a lower division club to keep his World Cup dream alive.
"Now that the transfer window is closed a loan move to the Premier League is not on the cards, so I'll either see what happens at Stoke or assess my options in the Championship," he told Sky Sports.
"If I'm not playing, there is no way I can be chosen for any squad. I need to be playing in order to give myself a chance of going (to Brazil).
"I'm always confident in my ability; you have to be as a goalkeeper. If I'm playing well, I have a chance.
"All I can focus on is playing as many games as I can at the highest level. If that leads me to the World Cup, then brilliant. It's certainly a target of mine."

Quinn confident of new deal for Keane
Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn is confident manager Roy Keane will sign a new contract within weeks.
The Black Cats boss embarked upon the final year of his current three-year deal at the start of the new season, but has repeatedly insisted he is relaxed about the future.
However, Quinn today revealed initial talks with Keane's solicitor, Michael Kennedy, began last week after funding for the next two years was secured, and he is optimistic of a positive outcome in the near future.
Quinn said: ''We have just opened up negotiations with Roy's solicitor last week, and that will move along nicely, I hope.
''You never know, we will see, but I am pretty confident we will have something nice to say in the next few weeks.
''I didn't want to go to Roy Keane with a new contract offer when I couldn't tell him what was happening in 12 months' time, because the minimum contract would have been a year.
''Now hopefully this year, we will be okay and maybe a couple after. I don't know. We haven't quite got to the detail, but I am pretty pleased. The great thing about Roy is you are not sitting in here with a big agent talking about money, it's about direction.
''That's the biggest thing in the contract talks, and I am confident that on my side of the table, we have got the direction that will please him. That's become apparent in the last week or so, and we will kick on from there.
''It will be a great day if he does sign. It will be a big day for him as a manager too. It takes a bit of time and there are a few dots on the i's and crosses on the t's.
''Hopefully that's what it is, but I will keep you posted.''
A confidentiality agreement prevented Quinn from commenting on reports that Irish-American businessman Ellis Short has acquired a 30 per cent stake in Drumaville, the consortium which owns the club, and that it is his financial muscle which has allowed the Wearsiders to present Keane with a two-year blueprint.
However, as chaos reigns at neighbouring Newcastle following Kevin Keegan's resignation over claims of interference from Board level, the chairman confirmed his manager has no worries on that front.
He said: ''We won't put any restrictions on Roy. He is very aware of the power he has in bringing people to the club, and he will just get our backing to do that.
''He has appointed scouts in 13 countries since we came, which is a big change from where we were two and a bit years ago. Slowly but surely, every aspect of the club is going that way.
''He has got the power to appoint scouts, he has got the power to name and choose the players we go after.
''He is the manager in every sense of the word and the fact now that we have a two and a half-year business plan, it is the right and correct time to ask him to commit.''
Quinn's comments came as he joined forces with Gina Carter, the widow of former Sunderland goalkeeper Tim Carter, at the launch of an appeal to raise £1.2million to build a hydrotherapy pool at the Percy Hedley School in Newcastle.
Carter, whose four-year-old son Jensen attends the special school for children and adults with cerebral palsy, died earlier this year at the age of 40.
Mrs Carter said: ''Tim would have been very proud and very humble that people thought so highly of him.
''It was a big passion in Tim's heart and to have such a centre built in his name will be tremendous.''

Over the weekend, Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, put out a lengthy blog post entitled "How American Can Win This Election" calling for Americans to put "citizenship over partisanship". Here's a snippet:
Let's tell our government leaders to put partisanship aside and to speak truthfully about the challenges we face. Let's ask our business leaders to create more job opportunities for the American economy. And as citizens, let's all get more involved. Please, don't be a bystander. Understand that we have a shared responsibility in solving our nation's problems. We can't wait for Washington.

Dick Harmon: BYU football: Faith, hard work boost quarterback Taysom Hill's recovery from injury
William Wallace OGDEN, UTNov. 23, 2012 2:17 p.m.
Good guess Duckhunter. No other screen names, just this. Because you comment more than anyone doesn't make you right, but keep thinking that. I just state my opinion. I don't claim it's right or wrong, but glad you do. Exposed!! Classy.
Duckhunter Highland, UTNov. 23, 2012 1:11 p.m.
@william wallace
You've never been a BYU fan and you are only here using another of 100 different screen names to post lame things like that post. Exposed.
IJ Hyrum, UtNov. 23, 2012 12:35 p.m.
I think it humorous that the little brothers from up north must comment here because they have nothing positive from their own world.
If U haven't figured it out yet - THE PAC LET YOU IN SO THEY COULD HAVE A PLAY OFF. They let U and CU in because they expected just what they got - expanded size and no threat to the establish dominion.
I'm not about to tout BYU this year, but I find it very funny that U just cannot leave it alone.
William Wallace OGDEN, UTNov. 23, 2012 11:09 a.m.
Hey JayDee, I just hope Hill starts out well, because it won't take the BYU fans long to jump off the "Taysom Hill" bandwagon, just like Heaps, and just like Riley. I disagree with your statement about the "vitriolic" comments from the Ute fans, great word by the way. Ute fans tend to respond with somewhat less mordancy in my opinion, but it is just my opinion. I hope James Lark can be the savior that the fans are now saying he'll be in your last couple games. Look out Riley, the bus is fast approaching. Thanks for being a great student-athlete, and for giving your all. As a Ute/Aggie fan, I've always respected your passion for the game.
BYU DUDE Provo, UTNov. 22, 2012 7:31 p.m.
Now all BYU needs is a Head Coach , Offensive cordinator , and Offensive line Coach and we wil be cooking with Gas.
86&90UTE Holladay, UTNov. 22, 2012 5:00 p.m.
I hope for Hill's sake, he will make a full recovery. It doesn't really matter which play he was injured on. The fact is, if Doman keeps running the QB 20 times a game, Hill won't last many games next season. Hope your second and third string QBs can play. Also, I might be a little worried about starting a Soph QB with only two starts against BYU's improved schedule next year. Could be a long season. Travis Wilson may not do any better, but I like the game experience he's getting this season (sorry Jon Hayes).
GTwo Rockledge, FLNov. 22, 2012 3:19 p.m.
I really think Hill's injury is nigh unto unforgivable for Doman. That play should have never even been an option for that series. We need a different OC and QB coach.
I am grateful Taysom is healing and has a good attitude. I pray he will be stronger than ever and not injury prone due to this incident. He is a good young man and I hope he gets to play out his dream.
CA. reader Rocklin, CANov. 22, 2012 12:23 p.m.
To Henry Drummond, it is good to see a Ute fan with some class. And a little reminder to chris b.: those undefeated seasons came in the MWC, which, with the exception of TCU, was just the old WAC, the same one BYU played in 1984. I think just about every WAC team could give this year's MWC, as well as the U of U, a tough battle on any given Saturday.
JayDee West Jordan, UTNov. 22, 2012 11:55 a.m.
@ Braveheart aka William Wallace
The motto and character talk come from the team and coaches, not the fans. Of course, fans like players with good character. Riley has usually played well against lesser competition. For whatever reason, partially coaching, Jake Heaps couldn't get the job done at BYU. He chose to transfer instead of redshirting. Lack of point production and one of BYU's worst offenses is "someone's fault", perhaps QB play, injured O-line, and coach mismanagement. The most casual observer knows that Riley's competitiveness (playing injured) and Bronco's loyalty-to-a-fault cost BYU three games. Isn't the point of the game to win with players that give you the best chance to do just that. Why shouldn't fans hope things change for the better? If you're so sick of the comments...and I see no posts on this article that are so outrageous as to draw your venom...don't read and you'll feel better. Peruse ANY U articles and you'll find many trashing their team, QB, and OC with more vitriol.
Here's to two more great games and a better 2013 with Hill at the helm!
Pack Layton, UtahNov. 22, 2012 10:57 a.m.
Some of you fans who are always after Doman, remember there is a learning curve for offensive coordinators. I guess the same learning curve should apply to fans, but it is obvious that many fans don't know enough about football and coaching to have a learning curve.
William Wallace OGDEN, UTNov. 22, 2012 10:53 a.m.
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the BYU fans are going to trash their own. This Band of Brothers motto and all the talk about character is simply senseless chatter. I remember reading the comments last year after Riley pulled out the win vs. the Ags. He was your "saviour" of the program, since wonderboy Jake Heaps, whom you all bragged about, turned out to be a flop. Here we go again. Now you'll trash Doman and Riley. Why don't you rally around your team, all of them, and just be good people. Riley is competitor, who transferred to what he thought was a "better" program and "better" people, only to find the worst fans in the world. Just be good fans, and root for your team. It's not always someone's fault. It makes me sick to read your comments. Utah went with a new quarterback too, but you don't read the Ute fans ripping on Jon Hayes. Accept the fact that BYU football isn't what it once was, and focus on being positive in the re-building process. I used to cheer for BYU, but you fans drove me away. Pathetic!!!
vesparider Pocatello, IDNov. 22, 2012 10:16 a.m.
Taysom's a great kid. He used to come in for lunch once a week to my deli here in Pocatello. Nice, humble and respectful. Not something I can say for all highschool kids. He definately earned my respect and admiration and Pocatello is rooting for him to succeed while at BYU.
Ernest T. Bass Bountiful, UTNov. 22, 2012 9:45 a.m.
Goll Taysom sounds neat. He'll be as good at Riley maybe.
BYUalum South Jordan, UTNov. 22, 2012 7:59 a.m.
Thank you so much for the update on this fine young QB. We look forward to being able to see him play again!
I wonder if our OC will still be around next season is a plausible question.
BigCougar Bountiful, UTNov. 22, 2012 4:08 a.m.
"This puts us back into starting Juniors and Seniors, instead of Freshman"
That is unless Doman is still the OC and burning through QB's faster than my cellphone battery burns through it's charge.
OCoug Ogden, UTNov. 22, 2012 12:18 a.m.
Good post. I agree with you about the importance of getting back to starting Junior and Senior Quarterbacks. However, I don't foresee Hill being challenged by either Munns, Olsen or Green. Munns and Olsen will likely replace Lark in the consummate back-up. And until Green is on campus and competing with Division 1A talent he's an unknown. Don't forget we had a highly touted high school quarterback from Washington that transferred to Kansas and couldn't get it done while at the Y. Kuresa has been playing wide-out the whole season, and doesn't seem to fit into the QB picture. Unless, that is, Bronco decides to go with another underdog ala Riley.
As for Munns see above comment, and I sincerely hope that we don't have to rely on a JC transfer quarterback. All we have to do is look to the North to see how that worked out this year.
TrueBlue Orem, UTNov. 21, 2012 10:32 p.m.
"With the very serious nature of Hill's injury and a long and arduous rehab,"
You obviously didn't bother reading the article which said that Hill's injury was not as serious as initially diagnosed, that he's recovering faster than expected, and that he could be ready for limited, non-contact practice by the time Spring Football Practice begins.
Jazzsmack Holladay, UTNov. 21, 2012 10:00 p.m.
With the very serious nature of Hill's injury and a long and arduous rehab,
Hill may not even play next season,
Look for Munns to be the starting QB when the season opens.
(Or perhaps a yet to be determined JC QB ala Sarkisian?)
CougFaninTX Frisco, TXNov. 21, 2012 9:13 p.m.
OCoug - You are leaving out a talented Billy Green in the QB rotation.
2013 - Hill, Munns, Olsen, Green (redshirt)
2014 - Hill, Olsen, Green
2015 - Hill, Green, Mangum (Redshirt), Kuresa
2016 - Green, Mangum, Kuresa
2017 - Green, Mangum
2018 - Mangum
2019 - Mangum
This puts us back into starting Juniors and Seniors, instead of Freshman.
OCoug Ogden, UTNov. 21, 2012 8:37 p.m.
Good article. Hopefully, Hill can come back and start next season. It would line up nicely with Tanner Mangum's mission return. Mangum could redshirt during Hill's Senior year, learn the ropes and battle for the starting job with four years of eligibility remaining.
gdog3finally West Jordan, UtahNov. 21, 2012 7:56 p.m.
@Riverton Cougar
The WAC? That was nearly 20 years ago man. In that span, Utah has beaten BYU 13 out of 20.
gdog3finally West Jordan, UtahNov. 21, 2012 7:52 p.m.
You need a hug. Hate is not the BYU way brother.
Hegdehog Bountiful, UTNov. 21, 2012 7:44 p.m.
"The over-hyped, full-of-themselves, conference bottom-dwelling Utes and their fans will home for the holidays watching the BYU and Utah State bowl games from the comfort of their parent's couch in the basement."
Hey Chris B, you can come over to my house to watch the Poinsettia Bowl since you won't have anything to do.
JayDee West Jordan, UTNov. 21, 2012 6:19 p.m.
Best of luck to Taysom in his continued recovery.
If anything has (hopefully) been learned by the coaches it's that a healthy and talented QB is essential to put points on the board. I agree that in spite of Taysom's huge upside, Riley may still have played just as many games. If Lark doesn't start Saturday, the fan mutiny that is simmering may boil.
BTW, Chris B. You state..."And how did we [Utah] get in the Pac 12? We earned it, largely by going undefeated twice, going to a BCS game twice, winning a BCS game twice, and finishing in the top 5 in the country, twice."
(Something else you've done TWICE, consecutively, is finish in the bottom half of the PAC.)
Explain how the CO Buffs earned their invite before U with their football resume'.
Everyone knows it was to save face from the BIG 12 big four saying no. Add in TV sets and sprinkle a dash of religious bias exclusivity. There's your real answer.
Keep clinging to those two BCS bowl wins, hug your PAC 12 banner, and keep warm during the upcoming cold and lonely bowl season.
Real Bass Idaho Falls, IDNov. 21, 2012 5:39 p.m.
With all of the unhappiness about Riley, imagine the tumult if Hill were healthy and standing on the sidelines.
Y Grad / Y Dad Richland, WANov. 21, 2012 5:17 p.m.
So does that mean if we don't join a real conference, you'll quit talking?
worf Mcallen, TXNov. 21, 2012 5:01 p.m.
Do you honestly feel the utes would have played to within three points of the number one team in college football? Be real! BYU is the University of Utah.
Nuff said.
GoRed WEST VALLEY CITY, UTNov. 21, 2012 4:50 p.m.
byu fans,
Join a real conference, then we'll talk. Playing 4 of the worst teams in D-1 football (Weber State, Hawaii, Idaho, New Mexico State---really?) to pad your record after you annually lose to decent teams doesn't cut it.
bribri86 Phoenix, AZNov. 21, 2012 4:48 p.m.
You're right Chris B, all of the Ute success was in the PAST. How is Utah doing now? How about that bowl game you're going to? The prestigious PAC-12 Conference which you will not win now or in the forseeable future. This year, of all years, Ute fans should be very grateful Bronco can't pick a good Quarterback to run the program.
Riverton Cougar Riverton, UTNov. 21, 2012 4:10 p.m.
Chris B,
How many WAC championships has the U won? How can you expect the U to suddenly start winning a conference championship in the PAC if you struggled so much in the WAC?
gdog3finally West Jordan, UtahNov. 21, 2012 3:56 p.m.
The injury to Hill was unfortunate. I would think if healthy, he would start next year given Mangum is on a mission.
Henry Drummond San Jose, CANov. 21, 2012 3:47 p.m.
I'm a Ute fan but I did enjoy watching Taysom Hill in the little time he had to play. Here's hoping for a fast recovery.
idablu Idaho Falls, IDNov. 21, 2012 3:04 p.m.
Great news. After this frustrating season it is good to get something positive.
CT98 Saint George, UTNov. 21, 2012 2:53 p.m.
Great news for Taysom and all Cougar Nation. Can't wait to see Taysom play next year. Finally a QB who can both run and more importantly Pass the football.
CougFaninTX Frisco, TXNov. 21, 2012 2:49 p.m.
@cb - Did you read this article? Your comments have nothing to do with the article, as usual. But I will respond to two of your comments. Who is the only AQ conference not to win a national championship in the BCS era? It's time to face the music, the PAC has not been pretigious the past 15 years. However, to the PACs credit, they were greatly improved this year, which is why I believe Utah will not finish in the upper half of the conference for the next decade. If Utah is going to be great, they need to create their own identity by winning. Same for BYU.
As for Tayson, I truly hope he is ready for Spring ball. His ability to lead and work with the team from April - August will be crucial for next years success.
I also hope that if Doman is still around, he and Dupaix will realize we cannot find the success we are looking for by running the QB 20 times a game. This is not BYU football, it is Air Force, Georgia Tech and Navy football. Otherwise we will always have injured QBs just like this year.
worf Mcallen, TXNov. 21, 2012 2:28 p.m.
Chris B,
"we'll just never know who the best WAC team really is'.
We do know who the worse team in the PAC is. You know, the team who couldn't compete in the WAC a few years ago.
Uncle Rico Sandy, UTNov. 21, 2012 2:06 p.m.
Thanks to brandon Doman for making this story possible.
EMBO23 Riverton, UTNov. 21, 2012 1:37 p.m.
Taysom went to BYU because he was inspired to do so. Not Stanford, not Utah, but BYU. There is more to life than just sports, and that probably dawned on him when he was serving his mission.
Not being in a conference is a bit frustrating, especially since the Utes will win twice as many Rose Bowls as the University of Arizona. Now that Utah is in the Conference of Champions, there will hardly be enough room in the rafters of the Huntsman Center for all their banners.
Robroy Murray, utahNov. 21, 2012 1:29 p.m.
Pregious pac12??? It's pathetic 12 and please learn to spell.
Riddles in the Dark Olympus Cove, UtahNov. 21, 2012 1:07 p.m.
If Doman is allowed to continue as BYU's OC, he owes it to Hill to spend every second from now until BYU's first game in 2013 designing and learning how to coach a passing offense.
Snack PAC Olympus Cove, UtahNov. 21, 2012 1:03 p.m.
Chris B
"The WAC really needs a championship game."
Unfortunately for U, you are WINLESS in the WAC and were eliminated from contention in early September.
The WAC champion is ranked and will be playing in a bowl.
The over-hyped, full-of-themselves, conference bottom-dwelling Utes and their fans will home for the holidays watching the BYU and Utah State bowl games from the comfort of their parent's couch in the basement.
Kouger Lehi, UTNov. 21, 2012 12:49 p.m.
I understand that injuries are inevitable in football, at the same time the risks increase with certain systems, strategies and play calling. I have noticed that Hill was almost no different from Nelson in their urge and penchant for running than passing. Hill by the way is a lot better in both than Nelson. Then again who is not better than Riley at this stage of his unproductive career? Anyway, I feel that the vulnerabilities and injuries of Hill and Nelson are results of the radical Doman system favoring the option and quarterback scrambles/runs than pocket and drop back passing. The pattern/system should be looked at and evaluated in a serious way. I hope Hill will pass the ball and run only as a last resort or a designed once every eight downs by a new Offensive Coach. Hill is a good and fast runner and can win lots of games for the Cougars, but the risks of injury increase fourfold too when running on every other down. Wishing him fast recovery and a great season next year!
Bear Somewhere, UTNov. 21, 2012 12:47 p.m.
@ Chris B
Every conference needs a bottom dweller for the big time teams to beat up on.
eastcoastcoug Danbury, CTNov. 21, 2012 12:32 p.m.
Glad to see Taysom making significant recovery. This kid has a bright future in football and beyond.
Chris B Salt Lake City, UTNov. 21, 2012 12:24 p.m.
The large difference being Utah is in the Pregious Pac 12 Conference, not the WAC.
And how did we get in the Pac 12?
We earned it, largely by going undefeated twice, going to a BCS game twice, winning a BCS game twice, and finishing in the top 5 in the country, twice.
All in the past decade.
MizzouBlue Carthage, MONov. 21, 2012 12:23 p.m.
My prayer is for your speedy and complete recovery Tayson. Best of luck. BYU needs you at the helm next year. Happy Thanksgiving.
RockOn Spanish Fork, UTNov. 21, 2012 12:22 p.m.
Great news. Great that a young man can recover quickly from his injuries and proceed with his dreams. A lot of BYU faithful are looking forward to 2013 as Hill's year. (and beyond)
burtro15 CEDAR CITY, UTNov. 21, 2012 11:56 a.m.
Utah State beat Utah so we should probably put the Utes into the equation.
Chris B Salt Lake City, UTNov. 21, 2012 11:46 a.m.
The WAC really needs a championship game. With byu beating Utah State, Utah State beating San Jose, and San Jose beating byu, we'll just never know who the best WAC team really is.
I wonder what Taysom thinks when he sees his former Cardinal teammates beating Oregon and heading to the Rose Bowl, and his current teammates getting worked by San Jose.
BigCougFan Cottonwood Heights, UTNov. 21, 2012 11:43 a.m.
Can't wait to see you in a game again Taysom!

The Impact of Redistribution on Income Inequality in Canada and the Provinces, 1981-2010
The objective of this report is to provide an overview of trends in income inequality, defined as the Gini coefficient, in Canada and the provinces over the 1981-2010 period and to investigate the impact of redistributive policies – namely, taxes and transfers – on these trends.Income inequality is measured in terms of market income, total income, and after-tax income, with the latter considered the most important from a well-being perspective.

Nigeria Bars Contracts With Halliburton
Published: September 21, 2004
Nigeria said on Monday that it had banned the awarding of government contracts to Halliburton, the oil services company, as a result of the theft of two radioactive devices from its Nigerian subsidiary.
The theft of the devices, used to X-ray cracks in oil pipelines and wellheads, had raised fears of a terror attack in Nigeria.
The ban is effective for all ministries, government agencies and government-owned companies, a statement from the presidency said.
German authorities intercepted the materials, which were stolen between the oil cities of Warri and Port Harcourt, at a steel recycling plant in Bavaria last year. They were reported missing by the local unit of Halliburton in December 2002.
Nigeria, which began an investigation in June to discover how the materials ended up in Germany, said Halliburton had refused to cooperate.
A Halliburton spokeswoman in Houston, Cathy Gist, would not comment except to say that the company was working on the matter.
The Nigerian investigation was started after Germany ended its inquiry and returned the radioactive materials to Halliburton, which took them back to the United States earlier this year.

"24 Hour Hollywood Rush," the first all-night theater extravaganza event of its kind on the West Coast, is coming next month to LA.
This night of unpredictable and unique theater will take place on Sunday, February 20 at the Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles, in support of The Baby Dragon Fund and The Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center. Ticket sales officially begin today at www.24hourhollywoodrush.org.
Dozens of Hollywood's most talented writers, directors and actors will come together to participate in the unique evening. The uniqueness of its format, the unpredictability of the performances and the incredibly tight turn-around of content will all contribute to the evening's excitement. The writing of the plays for "24 Hour Hollywood Rush" will commence the night before the show on Saturday evening February 19 at an undisclosed location.
A group of writers that include Silvio Horta ("Ugly Betty", "Urban Legends"), Chris Landon ("Disturbia," "Paranormal Activity 2"), David Holstein ("Weeds") and Eddie Kaye Thomas ("American Pie" films) will have 12 hours to produce six 10-minute plays. At 8 AM the morning of the event, the scripts will be handed out to an assembly of directors which include Michael Sucsy (HBO's "Grey Gardens"), Matthew Lillard ("SLC Punk!," "Scream"), Kristin Hanggi (Broadway's "Rock Of Ages"), Dan Harris ("Superman Returns," X2"), Richie Keen ("Traffic," "Important Things With Demetri Martin") and all the actors who will begin rehearsals immediately.

Yeardley Smith shared the following quote exclusively with Access Hollywood, "Given the fact that I've been extremely fortunate in my career and enjoyed a great deal of success, I consider it one my responsibilities in life to pay it forward. If that means I can help bring attention to worthy causes such as the Baby Dragon Fund, I'm delighted to do so. The icing on the cake is that Zibby Allen is also one of my dearest friends — and what's better than helping a friend?!"
Ticket prices start at $30 for general admission. VIP tickets are also available, which include access to the VIP after-party featuring the all-star cast and crew, at the historic Ebell Club of Los Angeles following the performance.

For those unable to attend the event but interesting in supporting the project and organization, sponsored tickets are available, which will be utilized by members of the Los Angeles community in recovery, affected by addiction-related issues, and youth and seniors involved with the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center.

The event is being executive produced by Jason H. Kennedy (WonderFalls Entertainment) and Zibby Allen ("$#*! My Dad Says," "Grey's Anatomy"), both of whom have an intimate association with the performing arts, as well as The Baby Dragon Fund, which was founded in memory of Zibby's brother Hunter. Kennedy and Allen are also the co-founders of "24 Hour Hollywood Rush." Producers Kate Payne and Brett Ruttenberg, along with Associate Producer Micah Pittard, round out the team behind the event.

With no government funding, these programs rely solely on private donation and fundraising. The target goal of the evening is to raise a minimum of $150,000 that will go directly to The Baby Dragon Fund.
