Class Overview
Last year, these states only produced five top-three round picks that turned pro: Puerto Rican 3B Jan Hernandez/Phillies, South Carolina's C Nick Ciuffo/Rays and RHP Akeem Bostick/Rangers along with Louisiana RFs Justin Williams/D'Backs and Ivan Wilson/Mets. Arguably the three best prep prospects in Alabama (RHP Keegan Thompson, CF Anfernee Grier and RHP Kevin Davis) all made it to campus at Auburn for various reasons while arguably the top prospect in Louisiana (LHP Garrett Williams) made it to campus at Oklahoma State. This year's class is similar but looks a bit stronger with Grant Holmes superior to Ciuffo, the only first rounder of the 2013 group, and a couple more players in Ti'Quan Forbes and Chase Vallot that I prefer to anyone else in last year's group.
Recruiting Overview
The talent is spread pretty evenly throughout these states and is spread pretty evenly amongst the top programs. SEC powers LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State get most of their players from this area, with other high-end SEC programs like Florida, South Carolina and Vanderbilt dipping their toe in along with some other programs outside of the SEC.

Florida Marlins ace Josh Johnson, on disabled list with right shoulder inflammation, hopes to miss just two startsby Joe Capozzi
Josh Johnson was put on the 15-day disabled list today with right shoulder inflammation.
RHP Jay Buente was called up from New Orleans and will make JJ's start Sunday against the Rays.
Johnson said an MRI on Friday showed only inflammation. He hopes to miss just two starts.
He complained to the team about the discomfort after throwing a bullpen on Thursday. He has not thrown since. The team will decide Tuesday if he can start a throwing program or if he needs to continue his no-throw period.
"Hopefully I'll just miss two and then get back in there," he said.
"It's a good time to do it, early in the season. Catch it before it starts carrying on into other starts.
I'm kind of at peace with it. It took everything I had to go and say something. I want to get it right."
Johnson, who was put on the disabled list retroactive to May 17, pitched five innings Monday in his last start, allowing one run. He left the game after the fifth inning because of a right forearm bruise from getting hit by a Carlos Beltran grounder — he said he did not leave because of the shoulder.
His velocity was down Monday, which he attributed at the time to not getting into his normal pre-game routine because of an 80-minute rain delay.
JJ missed the final three weeks of the 2010 season with back and shoulder issues, but he did not see time on the disabled list.
Johnson is tied for the NL lead in ERA at 1.64. He's 3-1 but hasn't won since April 19.

I'm just tossing this out, but what if colleges offered more courses geared toward actual life?
I mean, the ability to discuss Descartes is important, but knowing how to buy a dehumidifier when you don't have any money is equally so … particularly if you are going to be living in your parent's basement and you don't want your stuff to get all clammy.
Here are just a few of the course descriptions:
Cubicle Life: Will emphasize office gossip, dealing with the annoying or disgusting habits of cubicle mates, and how to listen to co-workers personal phone calls while appearing to not be paying attention.
Marital Arts: Explores such things as why fighting with a spouse is much different than fighting with your college girlfriend or boyfriend, and the two main reasons why:
A spouse knows you better, and knows all the right buttons to push.
A spouse will get even in ways you can't possibly imagine.
Credit Card Theater: Originates from the premise that everyone will have their credit card rejected at the register at some point, even people whose cards aren't maxed out, and then reviews the three basic reactions:
Indignation: "There must be some mistake, there's a million dollars in that account."
Blasé: "No problem, try one of these instead."
Blame: "Don't tell me my wife (husband) forgot to pay the bill again."
Finessing the Boss (Seminar): This course would probably be one day because it's really not that hard.
Fundamentals of Establishing Credit: Familiarizes students with the real way credit is achieved, which, of course, involves buying a lot of stuff you don't really need and can't afford so you can get into a situation where you have to pay the minimum amount due every month for the rest of your life. Course would also deal with handling the flood of new credit card offers that will then flow in.
Cars 101: When students complete the course they will understand that when you buy a car you get hosed, when you sell or trade-in a car you get hosed, when you have a car repaired you get really hosed.

Was anyone else at show in Rockford last night (10/27/11). Great show, but thought the sound was horrible. Sounded like there was a bass or sub wofer with a cracked speaker. Loud and droneing on making listening to Billy playing hard. My 27th show and by far worst sound have ever experienced. Think the venue, not the band was the problem!

- Browse by Course Number
- Browse by Term
AFAM 113: Introduction to African/African American Studies
This core course employs interdisciplinary approaches to critically examine selected intellectual and cultural themes in African, African American, and Black Diaspora studies. The course combines lecture and discussion formats. Members of the faculty deliver guest lectures in their own areas of specialization. Themes may vary from year to year.6 credit; Arts and Literature, Recognition and Affirmation of Difference Requirement, Writing Requirement, Humanistic Inquiry, Writing Requirement, Intercultural Domestic Studies; not offered 2013–2014
AFAM 130: African American Social Movements
Social movements have played a critical role in African American communities, as both struggles for freedom and liberation as well as struggles for identity and recognition. This course examines several specific social movements, including the Civil Rights Movement, Black Power movement, and Black Feminism, among others, from multiple disciplinary perspectives. We will examine these movements comparatively through the disciplinary lenses of history, sociology, political science, and communication studies, and consider their trajectory through the contexts within which they emerge and develop. We will also evaluate these movements in terms of participants' social identities as well as movements' varying ideologies.6 credit; Social Sciences, Social Inquiry, Intercultural Domestic Studies; not offered 2013–2014
AFAM 182: Black Identity and Belonging
In his essay "Of Our Spiritual Strivings," W.E.B. Du Bois famously asked "how does it feel to be a problem?" Referring to the socio-cultural contradictions that plagued black American life at the turn of the twentieth century, Du Bois' question has sparked debates on black identity and belonging in both international and domestic contexts. This course surveys the writings of people of African descent as they have historically grappled with the question of what it means to be black. We insert black intellectual voices into important sociological, anthropological, and philosophical debates on issues of race, gender, diaspora, and national belonging.6 credit; Social Inquiry, Intercultural Domestic Studies; offered Fall 2013 · L. Beck
AFAM 194: The Black Middle Class
Since the 1960s, the black middle class has been an object of debate and interest, both among scholars and in society. In this course, we will examine the black middle class from an interdisciplinary perspective, specifically considering questions and problems posed in economics, sociology, history and literature. Among other topics, we will examine when and how the black middle class emerged, its distinctiveness from its white and working-class counterparts, and its implications and larger meaning in popular culture and public discourse about race, class, and American society.6 credit; Social Inquiry, Intercultural Domestic Studies; offered Spring 2014 · D. Williams
AFAM 398: African and African American Studies Capstone
What relationships can you draw among your varied coursework and papers in African and African American Studies? How does interdisciplinarity affect your thinking about the study of the African continent and its numerous diasporas? In this two-credit course students will create a portfolio of their work in African and African American studies and write a 5-10 page reflective essay tying these papers together. Guided by a faculty member, this course gives students an opportunity to reflect seriously about the courses they have taken and the work they have produced within the major or concentration, and to draw connections among them.Prerequisites: Senior African/African American Studies major or concentrator. 2 credit; Does not fulfill a distribution requirement, Does not fulfill a curricular exploration requirement; offered Fall 2013, Winter 2014, Spring 2014 · Staff

V. Senior Seminar/Capstone Experience (2 credits)
The capstone experience consists of AFAM 398, a two-credit course in which the student creates a portfolio of their work in African and African American studies and writes a 5-10 page reflective essay tying these papers together. This course gives students an opportunity to seriously reflect about the courses they have taken and the work they have produced within the major, and to draw connections among them. The two-credit course is offered by the Director or another member of the program core faculty. If there are not enough students in a particular year to offer AFAM 398 as a course, it will be offered as a tutorial. Even in that case, if multiple students are completing their major or concentration in the same year, they will strive to take the tutorial simultaneously to facilitate common discussion of the main themes in African and African American Studies and how they are woven through the corpus of each student's undergraduate opus.
VI. Comprehensive Exercise (6 credits): AFAM 400
The comprehensive exercise is a substantial (approximately 34-40 page) research paper on a topic within African, African American, and/or African Diaspora studies, grounded in two complementary disciplines, advised by two faculty members chosen from these two disciplines. The student should have completed a 300-level course in one of these two disciplines. The comps process begins with a proposal in fall term of the senior year, and ends with a final written thesis and oral presentation early in spring term.

How immigrants are redefining 'American' in Southern California
How black, Latino and Asian American voters delivered Obama's victory
David McNew/Getty Images
A directional sign points the way to a polling place inside El Mercado de Los Angeles, a Mexico-style marketplace in East L.A. on November 6, 2012.
Exit polls are showing that overwhelming majorities of Latino and Asian American voters - more than 70 percent of each group - voted to re-elect President Barack Obama on Tuesday. Together with black voters, who reportedly supported Obama in even higher proportions, these voters of color are credited with carrying key states for Obama and ultimately assuring his victory over Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
Data so far has suggested that Latinos made up 10 percent of overall voters, a record number. At the same time, the non-Latino white percentage of the American electorate is on the decline. Does this election signal a tipping point in the influence of voters of color - or has that happened already?
Pollster Matt Barreto of the Latino Decisions firm has closely tracked the attitudes of Latino voters in the runup to the election. The firm has calculated that 75 percent of Latino voters - in the same range national exit polls have estimated so far - cast votes for Obama on Tuesday. The Pew Hispanic Center estimates from its exit poll analysis that Latinos voted 71 to 27 percent for Obama over Romney.
An Election Day news roundup: The voters of color edition
Mae Ryan/KPCC
Angelenos voting at the Japanese Cultural Institute in Los Angeles on November 6th, 2012. As this country becomes more racially and ethnically diverse, the role of nonwhite voters in the election results has occupied more political speculation than in previous years.
Instead of the usual Multi-American news roundup this Election Day, here's a sampling of the many stories out there addressing voters of color, and how they figure into this year's election.
In recent months, political observers have suggested that Latinos and Asians could help swing the election, provided these voters turn out in large enough numbers. Black voters, meanwhile, have been called key to President Barack Obama's reelection. And Muslim voters of various backgrounds were recently polled as leaning toward Obama even as many remain undecided. Without further ado, a few of the election-related stories making the rounds today:
Latino vote for Obama could be historic high, poll says - Los Angeles Times The most recent voter tracking poll from the Latino Decisions firm indicates that 73 percent of Latino voters polled nationally planned to support President Obama. Twenty-four percent supported Republican candidate Mitt Romney, whose stance on immigration has hurt his standing with the Latino electorate. Three percent were undecided.
Five new Asian languages make their debut at the polls
Lauren Osen/KPCC
Voter materials at a polling place in Pasadena, Calif. Nov. 6, 2012
Voting is easier Tuesday in Los Angeles County for many Asian Americans who aren't fluent in English.
Earlier this year, L.A. County officials announced they would be adding five new Asian languages to their voter materials and bilingual poll assistance on election day. Hindi, the official (but far from only) language of India, is now on the sample ballot, along with Thai and Khmer, the language of Cambodia. There will also be bilingual poll workers fluent in Gujarati and Bengali, two other Indian languages, ready to assist voters Tuesday in selected precincts.
This is significant, politically and demographically. Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali, Thai and Khmer have joined several other Asian languages - Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Tagalog - which are already provided for voters in Los Angeles County. It's a recognition of the growing political viability of Asian Americans, whose voter turnout has traditionally been low, but whose growing numbers in the United States can't be ignored.

Covered in dank grease and half-burnt matches, those rusty, weather-worn grills lurking in our backyards beg a serious question, the outcome of which may affect the enjoyment of an entire summer. Is this the year to get serious about grilling?
Grilling means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. For some, the grill is the outdoor centerpiece to family gatherings and holidays. (Who doesn't fire up the grill on Fourth of July?) For others, grilling is just an easier, cleaner and quicker way to cook up a quick steak after a long day's work. There are those who want the perfect outdoor culinary tool for making perfectly smoked meats. And for some, of course, a grill doesn't represent the desire to cook as much as a means to brag – an excuse to say, "My grill is bigger than yours."
Without resorting to big box stores, our region offers a plethora of grill styles, models, sizes, brands, and new technologies that will have outdoor chefs heads spinning with excitement – and tough choices. Whether your budget is $100 or $5,000, there's something for everyone.
The first grill that caught my eye was the Landmann Big Sky Stars And Moons Fire Pit, which can be found at Montrose's Inside & Out Hearth and Patio (2400, E. Main St.) and Park Avenue True Value Hardware (601 E. Main St.). Doubling as a grill, this fire pit sits low to the ground, allowing the evening meal to become a spectacle. Pull up a chair and watch as brats, steaks and chicken sizzle over charcoal briquettes or a wood-burning fire. Once dinner is served, toss in a few pieces of wood and you have an urban campfire to warm your guests during cool Western Slope evenings.
The grill has a 23.5-inch diameter bowl and comes with a full-size enamel cooking grate, spark guard cover and a fire poker. With its decorative night-sky cutouts, it also brings an aesthetic quality to the grilling/campfire experience. The Big Sky Fire Pit is as simple and inviting as it gets.
Simplicity is everything for some people when it comes to grilling. Anything more than turning on the gas and clicking the igniter might just be too much for the most laid back griller. If this is you, the liquid propane-fired Weber Spirit E-320 provides an easy-as-it-gets grilling experience, yet it gets the job done. This grill, along with other great Weber models can be found at Park Avenue True Value Hardware and at Timberline Ace Hardware in Telluride (200 E. Colorado Ave.).
Sparked by an electronic crossover ignition system, the Spirit E-320's two stainless steel burners put out 26,000 BTUs per hour. This grill has 350 square inches of cooking space and a 108-square-inch warming rack. It's a heavy-duty grill with a stainless steel work surface; some models come with an enclosed cart, painted black. If it's a rainy evening and you're rushing to get the grill started, this Weber won't let you down. One click and it's fired up.
Want a quick-and-easy grill that smokes at the click of a button? A line of innovative, wood-pellet fueled Green Mountain Grills impart true wood flavor into grilled foods with ease. Smoked ribs, brisket and pork loins are so easy with these grills, available at Colorado Fireside & Masonry Supply (4134 N. Townsend Ave., Montrose). Just fill the grill's hopper with wood pellets, flip a switch, and 15 minutes later the grill is smoking and ready to go.
Besides the ease of smoking meats, perhaps one of the best features of these grills is the digital controller that can adjust the temperature in five-degree increments from 150 degrees to 500 degrees. It's perfect for slow-smoked brisket and Thanksgiving turkeys as well as hot, fast and smoked N.Y. Strips. These smokin'-hot grills are available in two sizes to suit small decks and expansive patios alike.
Lately, backyard grill discussions have been largely focused on the new and popular versions of egg-shaped ceramic kamado-style (ancient ceramic cooker) grills. They smoke, they grill and they are fueled by natural lump charcoal. Inside & Out Hearth and Patio carries the Saffire Grill and Smoker, which stays hot longer than a typical steel smoker because of its thick ceramic walls. A similar version of the egg-shaped ceramic cooker is the Kamado Joe, which can be found at Colorado Fireside.
With natural lump charcoal and either a small firelighter square or an electric charcoal starter, the grill gets up to temperature in only 10 minutes. The temperature then can be increased for searing or decreased for slow smoking. But wait, there's more: The grill's heat radiation allows it to be used as an oven, as well. Drop in a pizza stone and moments later you'll have a fresh, smoky, backyard pizza pie.
Backyard pizzas are just the tip of the iceberg when you have an outdoor kitchen fitted with the Quintessential Wood Fired Oven, available at Inside & Out. This easy-to-use outdoor oven is perfect for baking pizzas, breads and meats. While some outdoor ovens may overpower the food with their smoky flavor, this wood-fired oven draws most of the smoke around the food as its cooked, seasoning it with just the right amount of smoky flavor. Available in multiple sizes, the Quintessential oven can be installed in any style of outdoor kitchen. Sausage and basil pizza anyone?
Both Inside & Out and Colorado Fireside are the regional go-to places for all custom outdoor kitchen needs. Patios can be furnished with outdoor ovens, countertops, stovetops and the world's finest grills. Inside & Out carries (and orders) a line of Alfresco open air culinary systems while Colorado Fireside carries a line of Fire Magic premium grills. Depending on your budget, the options are endless for creating your ideal summer grilling sanctuary. Stop by any one of the above retail stores to find out how your culinary dreams can come true.

Let them know how unbelieveably stupid they lookhttp://www.mary-blair.net/
It was because it was a boy. If it had been a girl or any of the other 57 LGBT varieties, the kid would have been given an award for confronting gender stereotypes or something.
I would not put a child into the public school system at this time in history. My great grandchildren were born in 2012, I hope that by the time they are old enough to go to school the world will have come it senses. If not, I hope my grandsons will allow me to get involved in making sure the boys are educated in private or charter schools.
The idiot progressives won´t be satisfied until they castrate all male children.
It get sillier and sillier. What if he just "thought" he was rescuing the world in that manner without any physical action? This is Twilight Zone stuff, folks.If I were the parents, I would threaten to sue for extreme embarrassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress and then actually sue the school district if they didn´t immediately apologize and void the suspension.
Gone are the days when boys could be boys. Don´t you long for the day when this would not be questioned by rational individuals? Enjoy:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZE2xTrP-5o
He should consider himself lucky that the president didn´t whack him with a drone.
Love it, #6!!
We need a tv program titled LIBERALS GONE WILD I am sure it would be a hit. Liberals are indeed mentally ill.
what will be the split of the BILLION dollars he will get with his lawyer?SUE the commies out of power...
Women and girly men have taken over our educational system. More evidence we should have vouchers so that the common family can afford to send their kids to a good school that reflect American values.
Just another school run by those who would be more at home in a padded cell. That´s my opinion.
My heart breaks for our young male children. The left´s agenda has almost completed its mission of removing any resemblance of masculinity from our boys.
can´t imagine the idiocy of these teachers and the stupidity of the school boards.I remember when I turned 9 and got my first buck knife with a belt sheath! That first day I wore it to school I got to be like the rest of the boys with their knives kind of like a rite of passage that every boy looked forward to! I remember the teacher checking out the sharpness of my knife and giving me high honors for having sharpened it correctly.The ossification of America is complete, the namby pamby feminine males have won
Some people are just educated above their intelligence level!
The saddest part of all? Many of the parents of these poor boys will gripe but they aren´t upset enough to remove their sons from the influence of these vile leftists.
Major lawsuits might be a start. It´s just that I hate to use lawyers to put fools in their place. You never know when the shark will turn on you.
The war on boys continues! This is one of many reasons why I homeschool. My six sons all own weaponry from battle axes, 9mm pistol, hunting rifles, long and composite bows down to sling shots and pocket knives. We take them to laser tag, target shooting and are involved in ice hockey and football starting at age 4.The books I give them to read are about battles, magic and warrior saints. I make learning math flash cards a competition and I don´t panic when they are a little older before they get reading down. It´s going to take a mass exodus from public schools before something will get done about it.
He should have pretended to be a gay, mooslim, minority who was bombing an American Embassy somewhere, then he would have been hailed as a hero!
It´s what he sees the heroes do on TV
My 5 year old granddaughter just showed up with her older brother´s toy twin sixgun rig on. My reaction? I pointed out that one gun was a toy Colt Lightning, and the other resembled a broomhandle Mauser. Nice choices.You cant shock grandpa.Does this mean I have to suspend her from the family now?
It those same "educators" labeled a kid a "dyslexic" most parents would believe it.
Meanwhile, Hollywood prepares next year´s epic blood and blow-it-all-to-hell movie.
The only people who can stop this insanity are parents. Demand accountability from school administrators and teachers. After all they are on YOUR payroll. On the other hand if you´re happy with your boys being treated like mindless little droids.....
That´s what healthy 7-year old American boys do, pretend to fight bad guys and save the world. These despicable statist indoctrination centers formerly known as public schools are the undoing of this country and MUST be taken back from the statists.
Too bad they live in Colorado instead of Oklahoma. I know of at least two charter schools that are online, tuition free, to home school your children.Were my children young enough for primary school, I would make any sacrifice to protect them from LIEberal union teachers by teaching them at home.
So, THIS is what they meant by ´no child left behind´./s off/
#5, I would include deliberate and malicious in addition to intentional infliction of emotional distress. Start with that, maybe include assault!

Others To Pay Price For Thánou's Suspected Crimes?
This Forum was created to divert traffic from Current Events at the height of the BALCO scandal. It comes and goes as "needed"; it's back to being locked.
Others To Pay Price For Thánou's Suspected Crimes?
In what I would consider to be a rush to judgment, there's a move afoot by some in the IOC to throw a dozen athletes under the bus just because they think (probably rightly) that Thánou may have been dirty in '00, since she skipped a test (did not test positive) in '04.
And the 100 is high-profile, so they don't want her to have Jones's gold. Wonder how Pauline Davis feels about the concept of not getting the 200 gold she would have had if you knock Jones out? (or silver for Jayasinghe and bronze for McDonald). And a long jump bronze for Kotova.
And 4x4 golds for 6 Jamaicans, etc., etc.
There's a lot of hardware at stake here. Since it has proven that Jones cheated and has had her medals stripped, how can the IOC in good conscience not move everybody else up? Even if that means Thánou is one of them?
Re: Others To Pay Price For Thánou's Suspected Crimes?
How does that not violate your own Guideline?
Kenteris may have been dirty (I said that once and got officially 'warned')
Re: Others To Pay Price For Thánou's Suspected Crimes?
Talk about downplaying events. Has anyone gone further "out of their way" to put on a show that inconvenienced so many others [ie., people in the line of duty saving and protecting lives] to "skip a test"? She staged a fucking motorcycle accident and went into full Greek drama mode to "skip" her little test. Give me a Big Fat Greek Brake.
i t hink part of their caution is that, let's say, they award thanou the gold. and then some time later, we find out she was dirty in 2000. then what?????
the whole thing is a mess. let's not even bring back the whole jerome young/sydney affair. i was just thinking of this because i was checking the results in the olympics in 2000. tim montgomery ran in the US 4x1 in the first round. yet nobody lost their medals from that.
I am not a huge fan of circumstantial evidence. What I am a fan of is innocent till proven guilty. The fact that an athlete was crook in '04 does not necessarily mean that they must have been a crook also in '00. On that basis Thanou must be treated as if she was innocent in '00 and be given her rewards (medals) accordingly.
The IOC/IAAF need to put up of shut the hell up. Either prove that Thanou was GUILTY of doping in 2000 or hand over the medal.
There are two choices here:
1. Give the medal to Thanou, because she was not known to have used PEDs prior to Sydney.
2. Send a message: you dope you're out, forever. Wiped out within the statue of limitations.
It's not a court of law, so innocent until proven guilty isn't quite the same concept.
What a sticky wicket -- give a tainted medal to a tainted athlete. This is why I say someone should consider very strongly crushing doping...which considering the USAs ability to deny and ignore it's massive illicit drug problem, prolly won't happen.
No reason anyone should. He had never tested positive then, and I don't think he's admitted to doping that far back either. He still has his silver from the 2001 World Indoor Championships as well.
I am.
[quote="rabalac2]The fact that an athlete was crook in '04 does not necessarily mean that they must have been a crook also in '00. [/quote]
Oh get real, puhleaze! And if not so what? You intentionally cheat then you lose everything IMO
I am a fan of circumstantial evidence especially when it is glaring. IOC will never be able to catch all cheats via drug tests.
In Thanou and Kenteris case, they ran exceptionally well in 2000, skipped 4 years then resurfaced again in 2004. Much like Nesterenko. I am not saying this is all the evidence you need. But IOC, IAAF et al must start adding up evidence like this. I am sure that a basic investigation of Thanou will yield something.
Skipped 4 years?
Kedéris won the World Champs 200 in '01, was 2nd in the Euro Cup 100 w/ his still-standing PR of 10.15. Won the 200 at the '02 Euros (with his still-standing PR of 19.85), won the Euro Cup 200 again in '03.
Thánou won 100 bronze in the '01 WC, was 4th in '03, with '02 Euro title in between.
Re: Others To Pay Price For Thánou's Suspected Crimes?
If we gave out more medals to begin with this would not be a big deal. Every finalist should be a medalist. THen the only changes are in the alloy given.
Well don't stop there, lets take this "logic" to the ultimate cheater..Florence Griffiths-Joyner. in 1988 this woman set a world record in the 100m which will NEVER be broken in our lifetime (and I'm not that old). But she was never tested positive for anything. So what does the circumstantial evidence points to?. In the '84 Olympice and the years leading up to Soeul '88, she was a mediocre runner and "all of a sudden", this woman is a world beater..possibly for all times.
Legally, this woman is/was innocent (since she was never caught), but circumstantially? c'mon people open your eyes. If the IOC wants to play this game by depriving this Greek runner of her medal based on circumstantial evidence, then why not take the really bold step and strike Flo Jo's records ....and medals from the books?
Don't you agree?
you honestly believe she'd even bother to turn upto the ceremony to claim her shitium medal ???
She, being a sportsperson, would show up to the medal ceremony to support those who also ran/also competed at the highest level, and to demonstrate that a fall didn:t get the best of her. No, I know for a matter of fact she:d not collect a medal of the description you named.
I've had enough of the name-calling around here. I pulled the trigger right quickly on Mr. Nilsson the other day for being uncivil, and I'd be quite happy to continue a reign of terror in that department.
Eldrick, you're probably the poster boy for name-calling. Consider this your final warning. One more and you're gone.
The name calling posters get around here is over the top at times but what is far worse IMHO is the names athletes get called by certain people.
IF I ran the board THAT would get you banned immediately.We have a choice whether to put up with getting called an idiot but athletes in the sport the magazine and this board should honour and respect do not deserve it.
(unless they are drug cheats and even then name calling is not really appropriate-though YES I am guilty too).
I am assuming you are talking about just those who are proven drug cheats, as opposed to all of those drug cheats who have yet to be outed?
"Boo" is not namecalling !
And it wasn't done on this board. 8)
Carl Lewis would like those wiped out completely.
Front-page article (source)
Maybe the IOC or the IAAF have an option of excluding certain people from the list of 'retro-medallists'. Not everyone should be penalised, just because there's a potential or proven bad apple in the mix.
As Thanou is currently in perjury trial, she should be excluded from receiving the Gold Medal (and perhaps asked to return her silver medal). The rule that the IOC or IAAF would invoke is one concerning 'bringing the sport into disrepute'.
I recognise that this might have the potential to remove non-PED suspects to be retro-removed (eg a wife-beater, rapist, other form of criminal), but if it was only applied as truly necessary, it would allow the IOC or IAAF to do what they think is the right thing on a case-by-case and event-by-event basis.
When did she finish eighth in a major final? If you're thinking of Barcelona 100H, she was 4th there.
I know, I have the programme, and have seen the race 1.000 times.
Fourth, sixth, eighth wouldn:t have made any difference in terms of the anticipated response (showing to the ceremony) from Devers. The "eighth" talk was derived from the poorly-named type of medal eldrick stated that placer should receive, hence insert Devers name for sake of argument.
El G (12:th) didn:t finish eighth in Atlanta, either. It was merely speculation as to what he would have done had he captured that place -- would eldrick have called the medal the same name given the recipient.
Disagree on all accounts. Flo-Jo, while not a world beater, was not "mediocre" before 1988. She had been an OG/WC medalist, ran sub 11/22.
Also, FloJo's "unbeatable" record is 'tainted' because it is a flawed record -- 10.49 was so clearly wind-aided that it is not even in play. The WR is 10.6x; still very difficult to break but not quite in the same league.
Is your 'evidence' of wrong doing just that she ran super times? If you are talking about her early death, there are some pretty knowledgeable doctors in these parts who have strongly refuted that conclusion.
As I read it the evidence against Flo-Jo is theoretical at best.
Far more disconcerting would be those GDR records like Koch's set by athletes who never tested positive, but ran for a very suspect regime.
If one wants to crush dopers, then that record should be obliterated.
If one uses circumstantial evidence, be prepared to throw out the baby with the bath at times.
I see those blinders you folks are wearing are doing their job . . .
If requiring evidence of cheating equals to wearing blinders, so be it.
it's a good thing the authorities in charge of boxing, gridiron & basketball don't apply that to their sports !

In order to be guaranteed a parking spot you must pay for a permit in a garage which is outrageous, however, without it you're likely to be late to class because parking in the metered spots is nearly impossible.
Parking in any city is difficult. I think there should be more parking lots for students that are closer to campus.
There is no need to have a car on campus but if you don't have one there is no way to get to surrounding walmarts or grocery/shopping stores. There are bars and restaurants that are nearby and in walking distance. Parking is a nightmare during peak class times in the morning and in the evening. The lots fill up quickly. there is not nearly enough space for all the parking that commuters do to the school from nearby off-campus housing. if you park somewhere you are not supposed to, you WILL get a ticket between $8 and $25.
It's very expensive and difficult to find open spaces.
Parking can be stressful everyday.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Gregory Goetz
Parking on campus at USC is absolutely atrocious. You can either get a garage space and pay over $300 for it, or you can get a $60 parking decal and fight to find a space. This is one of the disadvantages of having campus in the middle of the city. Not only are students looking for parking, but so are tons of other people going downtown for work. There are nine parking garages, which cost $260–$320 per semester, where students are guaranteed a spot. There are also parking lots located on the edges of campus where students with a decal can park. Considering the amount of students who have cars on campus, the amount of general student parking provided is not much at all.
Parking may be one of the most annoying things you will experience at USC, but the University seems to be trying to alleviate the headaches it causes. Because there has never been a great deal of parking for students, students are always lobbying for more options. Taking into account the number of commuters that bring their cars to campus, the major problems fall to those who live off campus. The fact that many off-campus communities provide shuttles to campus is a major step in coping with the lack of campus parking.

Ashwood Station
Ashwood Station is a shop filled with antiques, local handcrafts and gifts. The old Ashwood Service Station was a landmark in the Ashwood/Healing Springs area since the early part of the 1900's. We have re-built a structure that closely resembles the original (we even have old gas pumps on display!), and hope that it, too, will become a local landmark. We offer antiques from not only our area, but neighboring states as well. We currently have crafts from local crafters Donna Campagna (baskets and painted gourds), Heather DeBoe (jewelry), Debbie Chaplin (hand-knitted and felted wool hats), Linda Weiss (handpainted garden signs), Frankie Broce (hand made furniture), and myself (hand stitched ornaments and framed needlework). We hope to add more as time goes by. We will also have a line of coffee and spices in the weeks to come, and will add other gift items as we come across things we think our customers would like. All items will be made in the USA!
Our winter hours are Thursday, Friday, Saturday from 10am to 5pm. We will also be open both weekends of the Maple Festival.

Say it with me now, "Curry leaves are not related to curry powder." Once more, "Curry leaves are not related to curry powder." Curry, curry powder, and curry leaves are very often misused and misunderstood, so before we more bring shame upon our family and friends let's clear up the confusion around these terms. Once that's out of the way you can confidently stroll into your local Indian market, pick up some curry leaves, and enjoy the most wonderfully delicious ingredient you've never heard of.
The term "curry" as we use it in the west is a Western invention. It's an anglicized version of the Tamil word kari which means "sauce." Curry doesn't describe one particular dish any more than the word sauce describes one particular dish. Curry is used to refer to a variety of meat or vegetable dishes cooked with or without a sauce/gravy. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Southeast Asia, Africa, Britain, Japan and the Caribbean all have their own curry dishes and each one tastes different from the others.
Another common mistake is to think that all curries are spicy, as in hot and spicy. When a curry is described as "a heavily spiced dish," that usually means there are a lot of spices used in the dish, not that it is necessarily going to set your mouth on fire. On most restaurant menus the dishes that will bring the heat are labeled, but if you're like me and want to turn a mild dish into a surface-of-the-sun hot dish you can usually request that they make it as hot as you want.
Curry Powder
Curry powder is a mixture of spices as varied as the countries and cultures they come from. Most mixtures will typically include turmeric, coriander, fenugreek, cumin, and red pepper. Additional ingredients such as ginger, garlic, asafoetida, fennel seed, caraway, cinnamon, clove, mustard seed, cardamom, nutmeg, and black pepper are also included in many variations.
Another term thrown around when talking curries is masala. A masala is a mixture of spices used in the cuisines of Southern Asia. It can be a blend of dry roasted spices, or a paste made from a mixture of spices and other ingredients such as ginger, onions, garlic, and chilli paste. Garam Masala is an even more specific spice mixture, coming from North Indian and South Asian countries and may include red chili peppers, dried garlic, ginger powder, sesame, mustard seed, turmeric, coriander, malibar leaves, star anise and fennel. Yes, garam is sometimes translated as "hot" but in truth the word is referring to the intensity of the spices, not the amount of heat produced, so again, there may be chilis in a garam masala, or there may not be. If you are unsure, ask or look at the label.
Curry Leaves
Curry leaves are one of my secret weapons. Like sriracha, anchovies, or pork fat, the addition of curry leaves brings an extra layer of flavor to a dish without being dominant. But remember, curry leaves are not related to curry powder. If you take a nibble of a raw curry leaf it will not taste like your favorite curry dish at Sitar or the Curry Pot, it will taste like disappointment with a hint of citrus.
When cooked, curry leaves taste like, well, curry leaves. Google can't help you with a substitute and whatever you do, don't try to substitute curry powder for curry leaves or the Hindu goddess Annapurna will personally punish you in your sleep. Their distinct bright, deep, green and pungent flavor is easy to incorporate into your cooking. Fry them in hot oil then use the flavored oil to cook fish, vegetables, or brush the oil on bread as you would any other herb infused oil. You can add the leaves at the beginning of cooking, quickly fry in ghee or oil, then chop into a dish; or add later in the cooking to give a more subtle flavoring. Like their visual doppelganger the bay leaf, curry leaves can be tossed raw into almost any dish to give it a Punjabi remix and may cause a Bollywood musical to break out in your mouth.

Men with breast cancer may experience the following symptoms. Sometimes, men with breast cancer do not show any of these symptoms or signs. Or, these symptoms may be caused by a medical condition that is not cancer. If you are concerned about a symptom or sign on this list, please talk with your doctor.
- A lump or swelling in the breast tissue. Because men generally have small amounts of breast tissue, it is easier to feel small lumps.
- Any new irregularity (redness, scaliness, puckering) on the skin or nipple, or a discharge from the nipple

Treat Your Pet
First make sure your pet isn't allergic to the ingredients, then get permission to use the kitchen, and follow this recipe.
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) white flour
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) cornmeal
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) quick-cooking oatmeal
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) dry, nonfat milk
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) meat-flavored baby food, warmed in the microwave
- 1 egg
- A rolling pin
- Wax paper
- Cookie cutters
1. In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients.
2. Add the shortening and mix well with a fork.
3. Mix in the warm baby food and raw egg.
4. Knead the dough with your hands for a few minutes, then use a rolling pin to roll it out on a wax paper-covered surface. If necessary to prevent sticking, sprinkle white flour on hands, rolling pin, and wax paper.
5. Using cookie cutters, cut dough into different shapes and put the pieces on a microwave-safe plate.
6. Microwave on low power for two minutes, rotate the plate, and continue microwaving for another minute or two. Check often.
7. Let the biscuits cool. Give your pet one or two a day as a treat. Dogs eat them whole, but break treats into smaller pieces for cats.

Reed survived a 12-0 run early in the fourth quarter, but a 7-0 Huskies run to start overtime was too much to overcome as Reno swept the season series with an 82-78 triumph Saturday afternoon.
Reno's Garrett Hampson knocked down a game-tying 3-pointer as time expired on the fourth quarter, sending the game into overtime. The momentum continued for the Huskies in the extra session.
Kyle Mahaffey drove to the hoop for a score. After Reed turned the ball over off a deflected pass, Justin Crow curled around a screen to free himself for a basket, forging the hosts into a 76-72 lead.
Halfway through overtime, Hampson dropped in a 3-pointer, capping the 7-0 run.
Reed tried to battle back, but came up just short.
Trae Wells' 14-footer cut Reno's lead to 79-78 with 51 seconds to play.
Mahaffey opened the door for Reed when he was called for a travel with 30 seconds on the clock.
However, the Raiders threw the ball away with 15 seconds left. Mahaffey collected the loose ball and was fouled, making amends by nailing both free throws with 10.6 seconds on the clock.
Reed came down the court, but air-balled a three-point attempt. Connor Bush pulled down the rebound and was fouled. He made the first foul shot to seal the victory, pacing the Huskies with 22 points. Hampson added 18, while Mahaffey and Crow chipped in with 13 and 11 respectively.
Raiders couldn't withstand the Huskies surge in overtime, the Blue and Gold did persevere in the fourth quarter.
With a three-point lead early in the fourth quarter, Reed watched Reno score seven points in 25 seconds, which ignited a 12-0 run that spanned a 1:15.
After Crow banked home a 3-pointer from the left wing that concluded the 12-0 spurt and left Reno with a 63-54 edge, Reed had to get back to work and it stopped turning the ball over.
Devin Gray made a 3-pointer at the 4:23 mark of the fourth, which was part of an 8-2 run by the Raiders that pulled them within three, 65-62.
Soon after, Wells went off the glass to tie the game at 68-68.
Reno proceeded to miss the front end of a 1-and-1 situation, allowing Reed to take a 70-68 lead after Alonzo Vega made two free throws with 1:09 left in regulation.
Reno cut the margin in half with one free throw, but chose not to foul until there were 18 seconds to play.
Ty Shepard put Reed in good position with a perfect trip to the charity stripe, but Hampson and the Huskies were undeterred as he fired up a shot from the top of the key and locked up the teams at 72-72.
Reno also rallied quickly to start the second quarter.
The first 1:10 of the second quarter saw the Huskies string together six straight points, increasing the advantage to double digits for the first time, 20-10.
Reed did not quit, answering with its own 6-0 rally.
After Deyraun Stamps went coast-to-coast through traffic for a layup, cutting the deficit to 22-20, Reno called timeout and stopped the bleeding. The Huskies tallied the next five points, leaving them with a 27-20 edge.
Both teams battled back and forth over the last three minutes of the first half.
The Raiders lucked out in the closing seconds. Juan Rodriguez scored a putback with 12 seconds on the clock, and then the Huskies turned the ball over. Gray was fouled in the backcourt with 2.3 seconds before halftime. Gray took advantage of the double bonus at the line, cutting the deficit to 31-30 with a pair of free throws.
The one-point deficit at the half turned into a one-point edge after the third period.
The Raiders came out lighting it up from the outside to begin the second half. Three-pointers by Wells and Shepard gave Reed a 36-35 lead -- its first lead since it was 2-0. Ajay Bains knocked down a trey, bumping the gap up to 39-35 with 5:34 on the third-quarter clock.
Then the east Sparks school just tried to hold on.
It did just that until Reno went on a 6-0 run to grab a 46-44 lead with 2:42 to play in the third.
Reed regained the lead with back-to-back buckets by Stamps and Wells, but the visiting crew could not pull away, staking claim to a 52-51 lead at the end of the third quarter.
That set up the fireworks by the Huskies early in the fourth.
Wells led all scorers with 25 points. Vega had 13 in the losing cause.
Reed (9-7, 5-4) hosts Carson Tuesday night at 7 p.m.

Each week the Carnival of the Mobilists (COM) brings you the best of mobile blogging from around the Web, curating posts and links submitted by our COMmunity of 100+ influencers and bloggers. Before I dive into this week's selection of posts, allow me (as COM Coordinator & Connector) to remind everyone that there are still openings to step up and host the COM. I encourage everyone to check out the Host Schedule and which dates you would like to reserve.
I might add that hosts also get great exposure and extra traffic for the week that they host. (One reason why Alcatel-Lucent Optism, a newcomer to the COM, has already chosen another slot to host the COM in September.) Hosts also benefit from connecting with the COMmunity and can be sure that, once the Carnival is live on their site, bloggers who made the lineup will use their social media channels and voice to amplify your post.
How to host the COM
- The COM generally showcases the top 10 posts chosen from the posts that were submitted throughout the week.
- One post in your Carnival should be your Best Post of the Week. Please don't post a roundup without providing us your pick of the week and your reasons why it sets the bar.
- If possible, try to choose and highlight a newcomer to the Carnival.
- Remember that your job as host is to encourage the reader to visit the post on the contributors' site and generate traffic for the individual blogger. Therefore, don't tell the whole story — the purpose of your post is to recap the best of mobile blogging and make the reader want to click through your summary and read the whole post.
You can also check out the COM website for additional detail and a list of past posts.
The week's lineup:
Lee Cocking over at the Fixmo company blog submits two posts: one a clear, concise and well-written blog expertly outlining the complex concept of Mobile Device Sandboxing (aptly titled Mobile Device Sandboxing 101; and the other (titled BYOD Security Strategies ).The sandboxing post is really more of a primer, providing an overview of the three approaches and ways companies can/must minimize the security risks around embracing BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) in the organization. In Lee's view the winning approach "needs to be more than just simple application abstraction and should also include increased encryption for data-at-rest and data-in-transit, with enhanced policy control that goes above and beyond the standard application level control (which is usually nothing)." The takeaway: If your organization is embracing BYOD, or you require additional security on consumer-grade devices, then you have to think about including sandboxing requirements when looking at your mobile security and mobile risk management needs. The second post, like the title says, lists recommendations (and provides practical advice) on how companies can secure their organizations against BYOD-related threats.
JT Klepp, a newcomer to the COM, provides us a post that deep dives into what a winning mobile wallet solution will have to offer. He argues a wallet will need to know our context (to serve us the right deal while shopping, for example). And it should also be location-aware. The takeaway: Wallets will have to facilitate payments (that's table stakes) — but winning wallet solutions will do much, much more.
Steve Smith over at Mediapost muses about how mobile changes all the rules of mobile marketing in The Age of The Branded Action. He shares some examples and campaigns (such as the campaign from Google and Grow Interactive that won the won the Mobile Lions Grand Prix) to show how mobile is not just about targeting and tracking us; it's about providing us a kind of platform that allows us to engage and act in our interests (and prompted by the brands we appreciate). In the case of the Google campaign the aim was to re-imagine the famous Coke hilltop ad ("I'd like to buy the world a Coke") and effectively enable us to buy people around the world a Coke. It's a great piece packed with other great examples to drive his point home — which is why it is my hands-down Pick of the week.
Jonathan Kohl brings us two parts of a three part blog series laying out all the steps you need to follow when setting up a test lab to test your mobile app I was impressed by his hands-on, no-nonsense style, which is surely valuable to developers faced by this challenge. Building an app on a budget? Then read on and follow Jonathan's extremely helpful hints.
- Creating a Test Lab for Mobile Apps Testing – Part 1: http://www.kohl.ca/2012/creating-a-test-lab-for-mobile-apps-testing-part-1/
- Creating a Test Lab for Mobile Apps Testing – Part 2: http://www.kohl.ca/2012/creating-a-test-lab-for-mobile-apps-testing-part-2/
Chris Reynolds over at MobyAffiliates— an excellent destination providing app developers and marketers numbers, reports, lists and trends — brings us a new review of Mobile Social Gaming Market Statistics and Trends. It's a massive new industry and Chris details the "huge waves of new value" it has created. As he puts it: "With freemium business models that combine huge mass market usage with multi-million dollar revenue streams from virtual goods and 'in-app purchases' this is a huge new market developing." It's a worthwhile post — particularly in view of all the app reports underlining that games are the number one genre — full stop.
And finally, here at MobileGroove draws our attention to a guest column contribution from AdaptiveMobile's Ciaran Bradley. He draws from recent in-house research (a survey of 1,000 smartphone) users to gauge current usage patterns of mobile applications and the awareness of security threats associated levels of subscriber trust in mobile network operators, and the factors that serve to both build and erode that trust. The combined research produced some surprise findings for both operators and consumers. The takeaway: There are many apps and services that compromise our data (and our trust). But don't expect people to take matters into their own hands. While the majority of respondents voiced concern over what they consider to be an unacceptable breach of their personal privacy, many more simply choose not take action to prevent or limit the damage done by rogue applications. This is where operators can/should/MUST come in to provide the advice and the tools to help users understand the risk and fight back.
The COM touches down at Wapple, so be sure to submit your best mobile blogging by end-Sunday. Remember: You can also submit a post on behalf of another blogger if you think the post is outstanding and should be shared with the larger community of Mobilists.

Neighborhoods: Valley
Before 8 o'clock this bar is almost always relatively quiet and a perfect place for friends to have a drink in a dark and funky ( in the good way ) bar. Thurs-Sat it gets lively here and all the pool tables fill up by 8, but it's still possible to get a drink in under 10 min… good for downtown Abq. Bottom line, I love this bar. At will run you .50 more a drink but most of the As$#oles won't climb the stairs.
chill place to hang out – lots of tables and a really great selection of beer
My favorite bar – The drinks are strong, the staff is super friendly. The crowd is very Hipster for the most part. The music is enjoyable. I like this bar much more than others I have been to in Albuquerque and is the only bar I have found that I enjoy to frequent regularly.
not so great – very poor service and the food was not very good. i wont be coming back to this place again.
Love it! – I enjoy the pool tables and the fantastic beer selection. The atmosphere is relaxed and tends to attract a respectable crowd that is neither ghetto nor pretentious. The female bartenders and waitresses are my favorite in town too, very friendly and helpful.
Downtown Albuquerque's Finest – Anodyne is easily one of the best places to spend a weekend night in Albuquerque. With over 100 beers to choose from, any beer snob will be satisfied. Quality pool tables and a jukebox round out what anodyne provides. On the other hand if you're a hipster this is one of the places to see and be seen. At times the place is overrun with these indie-emo types but they add a sense of style to an otherwise bland downtown scene.
Like having a big pool room – ......a really big pool room at your house. The booths and couches are a nice touch but it gets a bit smoky here later at night. The Anodyne is just a good place to go chill. You may meet somebody there eventually but don't count on it. Overall good place and Jeanette is the best bartender anywhere in ABQ.

Two people charged with arson on Virginia's Eastern Shore are set to appear in court in June.
Hearings for 38-year-old Charles Smith III, and 40-year-old Tonya Bundick were set for next week but were pushed to June 17.
The date was moved after defense attorneys requested psychological evaluations for the suspects.
Police arrested Bundick and Smith in April, charging both with one count of arson and one count of conspiracy to commit arson.
