Running back DuJuan Harris was taken off the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list on Monday and practiced for the first time with the Green Bay Packers since last season.
"I love the team, and I love my teammates, and I'm happy to be back with them," said Harris after practice on Monday. "I've been missing them a lot since I've been gone. It's been a little long, but now I'm back home."
Harris hasn't been able to participate in a practice environment since last season ended. Even during the team's offseason program that spanned May and June, Harris was recovering from offseason surgery that saw him have a softball-sized cyst removed from his lung.
Seemingly having put his surgical operation behind him, Harris was sidelined at the beginning of training camp by a knee injury, which he described as only a "tweak." Still, it was enough to keep him out of the first 11 practices and the first preseason game of the 2013 season.
"I was ready to get back out, but I'm not the expert with injuries," said the soft-spoken Harris. "They told me I had to wait, so that's what I did, listened to them, did everything I had to do, did my rehab."
Harris originally signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent in 2011 and spent that season between the team's practice squad and their 53-man roster, having gotten a cup of coffee by playing in five games late in the year.
Cut during training camp in 2012, Harris was briefly signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers but released just days later. He then was added to the Packers' practice squad at midseason and elevated to the team's roster late in the year.
By season's end, Harris had become Green Bay's starter at running back, getting the nod in Weeks 14 and 16 and then both of the team's playoff games. Even though he rushed for just 257 yards (including playoffs), he led all Packers running backs in average yards per carry with a figure of 4.6 during the regular season.
The makeup of running back position in Green Bay has changed remarkably since Harris' successful 2012 campaign. General manager Ted Thompson wasted no time spending two selections in the first four rounds of the NFL draft on running backs, adding highly-touted rookies Eddie Lacy out of Alabama and Johnathan Franklin out of UCLA.
There's been a conscious decision to give the running game a new injection in Green Bay, but for his part, Harris isn't fazed by the newest additions and the threats to his playing time.
"Really, competition is the name of the game," said Harris. "We're always happy to be back together and get our work done. I'm not really thinking about. I'm just trying to help the team as best as I can."
When the Packers released their depth chart for the first time during the 2013 season last week, Harris was still listed as the starter despite missing so much practice time over the past several months.
Head coach Mike McCarthy reaffirmed his confidence in Harris during his press conference on Monday, paraphrased by the team's Twitter account as saying, "The way he finished last season, I would classify him as a starter at RB. Doesn't mean he plays every down."
Perhaps that will be Harris' role in 2013, starting each game but sharing time with the other backs on a rotational basis. Still, before that can happen, Harris has to prove his various ailments are behind him.
Roster spots at the running back are at a premium in Green Bay with the influx of talent at the position. In addition to the draft choices, veterans holdovers James Starks and Alex Green continue to battle for perhaps one berth between them. Undrafted rookie Angelo Pease of Kansas State is in the mix as well.
With Lacy out nursing a hamstring injury, Starks started the Packers' first preseason against the Arizona Cardinals on Friday, but did little to rejuvenate the team's rushing attack. The Packers averaged a paltry 3.1 yards on 29 carries. The statistics wouldn't have even looked that pretty were it not for long rushes by the quarterbacks of six yards by Vince Young and seven yards by Graham Harrell.
Now that Harris is finally cleared for a return to action, he'll be looking to help the team out in its efforts to improve the Packers ground game, and he hopes to prove to McCarthy that he deserves to play with the first-string.
"If he believes in me, I believe in myself also," said Harris. "I'm not going to let him down."

It's the end
I've found it hard to update the website as regularly over the last few months and now seemed an appropriate time to bring it to a close. The blog only started out as an experiment and here I am exactly four years later having produced 3165 posts with over 218,000 page views.
However, I'm thinking of keeping the Twitter account open for the foreseeable future and I'm hoping to keep over 500 followers updated with the latest Doctor Who news.
I would like to thank everyone who has ever read, commented and supported this website over the last few years.
Special thanks go to Alwyn Ash and Nebula One, Rhys and patar. These people have consistently supported me over the last four years and the site would not have been possible without them.
Additional thanks go to Dan for producing the banners; the TARDIS Newsroom (an excellent website!), mrdrwhoforever and Void23.
This is set to be a huge year for Doctor Who and I will of course keep watching and supporting the greatest TV show of all time.
All the best,
John (Vortex)

Bible Text:
Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. —Psalm 7:6, 10
And, indeed, we can never pray in faith unless we attend, in the first place, to what God commands, that our minds may not rashly and at random start aside in desiring more than we are permitted to desire and pray for. David, therefore, in order to pray aright, reposes himself on the word and promise of God; and the import of his exercise is this: Lord, I am not led by ambition, or foolish headstrong passion, or depraved desire, inconsiderately to ask from thee whatever is pleasing to my flesh; but it is the clear light of thy word which directs me, and upon it I securely depend.
Is it not wonderful that David often mingles meditations with his prayers, thereby to inspire himself with true confidence? We may go to God in prayer with great alacrity; but our fervor, if it does not gather new strength, either immediately fails or begins to languish. David, therefore, in order to continue in prayer with the same ardor of devotion and affection with which he commenced, brings to his recollection some of the most common truths of religion, and by this means fosters and invigorates his faith.
He declares that as God saves the upright in heart, he is perfectly safe under his protection. Whence it follows, that he had the testimony of an approving conscience. And as he does not simply say the righteous, but the upright in heart, he appears to have an eye to that inward searching of the heart and reins mentioned in the preceding verse. —Commentaries
John Calvin was the premier theologian of the Reformation, but also a pious and godly Christian pastor who endeavored throughout his life to point men and women to Christ. We are grateful to Reformation Heritage Books for permission to use John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart as our daily devotional for 2013 on the OPC Web site. You can currently obtain a printed copy of that book from Reformation Heritage Books.
Dr. Joel Beeke, who is editorial director of Reformation Heritage Books, has this to say:
"Calvin shows us the piety of a Reformed theologian who speaks from the heart. Having tasted the goodness and grace of God in Jesus Christ, he pursued piety by seeking to know and do God's will every day. He communed with Christ, practicing repentance, self-denial, and cross-bearing. Moreover, his theology worked itself out in heart-felt, Christ-honoring piety. The selections of this devotional bear this out, and hopefully will be used by God to direct pious hearts in our own day."
These devotional readings from John Calvin were compiled by John H. Kromminga. Be sure to read his "Introduction" to John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart.

The LastPass Vault is a page that allows you to see all of your saved data. It is a locally-hosted file so it is secure and fast.
Your Local and Online Vaults
There are two ways to access your LastPass Vault. The first is through the LastPass browser Icon, and click on "My LastPass Vault":
The Local Vault that you launch through your browser plugin gives you access to all features of LastPass, as well as Preferences and Settings as they apply to the plugin.
We recommend that you access your stored data through your Local Vault via your LastPass browser plugin. אָבער, if you are not on a computer that has the LastPass plugin installed, you can access an online version of your Vault by logging into https://lastpass.com:
Accessing your Vault through the website allows you to view your online LastPass account, as well as control global Settings.
LastPass securely syncs the data stored in your account, so that the information you see through your Local Vault and your Online Vault are the same.
Local Vault
Your sites are organized by Folders (groups) with your פאַוואָריטעס and Recently used at the top for easy access. If you click on the folder icon (or arrow), you can expand/collapse any folder in your Vault.
Expanding your folder allows you to see the saved entries (sites) within those folder. You can click on the name of the entry, and LastPass will open the corresponding URL in a new tab (or browser) and autologin using your stored username and password:
Each site entry in your Vault has the option to Edit , Share and Delete . By clicking Edit Icon () you will launch the 'Edit Site Information' dialog box, where you can view details for the specific site:
To sort the entries in your vault you can use the drop down at the top right of the vault labelled 'Sort By':
As you type in the 'Search My Vault' field above your sites, LastPass searches and filters your sites in the main window of the vault.
Several advanced features are available to help organize and administer your sites easily. You may select multiple sites (by clicking on the check box in the right corner of your site entries) and then you may drag and drop your sites to new Groups. You also have the ability to right-click while multiple sites are selected to perform various tasks on all sites at once:
From the Vault drop down menu next to your email, you can view your Account status page, Toggle the visuals, access our help center or log out:
Vault Menu
On the left of your Vault, you will see the Vault menu:
Add Site: Manually create a site using this option. However we strongly suggest having LastPass automatically save this data for you for the best experience.
Add Secure note: Create a secure note.
Create Folder: Creates a folder to group sites.
Account Settings: Launches your חשבון סעטטינגס.
Open Favorites: Launches sites that you have marked as 'פאַוואָריטעס'.

One Time Passwords (OTPs): Launches the OTP page, where you can view, print, or delete your generated OTPs.
Show Deleted Sites: Allows you to see any sites that you may have deleted. You can easily undelete sites from the deleted sites page. Deleted sites only remain available for 30 days, before they are purged automatically.
View History: Allows you to view your recent LastPass logins and events, as well as clear your LastPass History.
Import: Import login data previously stored with another password manager or in a file.
Export: Decrypts your data and displays it in a printable format, allowing you to view and print your data as a backup.
Select Identity: Allows you to accordion-item between your אידענטיטעט.
Security Challenge: Run our security challenge to see how well you are keeping your data secure.
User Manual: Links to the לאַסטפּאַסס באַניצער מאַנואַל where you can search for more information on LastPass features.
Tutorials: Links to the LastPass Video Screencasts page where you can view video screencasts on using LastPass and its features.
Manage Shared Folders: Only available for Premium Family Shared Folders and Enterprise Shared Folders.
**Link Personal Account/Remove Personal Account: For Enterprise Users only, this button enables you to Link your Personal Account to your Enterprise account as a Shared Folder available only to you. Once it is linked, you can click the link to un-link the account.
Online Vault
Your Online Vault allows you to access your stored LastPass data on computers that do not have the installed plugin(s). From the Online Vault you can control many of your global LastPass settings, as well as view, edit, and delete your stored information, much the same way you would on your Local Vault.
The Online Vault is organized similarly to the Local Vault, with your sites organized by Group in a searchable interface:
Offline Access to your LastPass Vault
Offline access to your LastPass Account can be an important component to using LastPass. You may find yourself in a situation where you need access to your secure information, but do not have an internet connection readily available. You can gain offline access to your data using almost any browser extension or application you would normally use to access LastPass. We also offer לאַסטפּאַסס פּאַקאַט, a standalone app dedicated to providing secure offline access to your data.
How to Utilize Offline Access in Your Browser Extension or Mobile Application
The key to gaining offline access in your LastPass browser extension or mobile app is to have logged into the extension or app at least one time while you have had an internet connection. This ensures that your computer or device has cached a local version of your encrypted data to the local drive. This is the data that LastPass loads when you login to LastPass while offline. Any LastPass browser extension or mobile application can be logged into without an internet connection, and will default to this mode when no connection is present.
Please note these special options and conditions:
– In each browser extension, if you clear your LastPass Local Cache (LastPass Toolbar Icon -> More Options -> Advanced -> Clear Local Cache), you will have to log in online once more to recreate your cache before you can log in using offline mode again.
לאַסטפּאַסס פּאַקאַט
LastPass Pocket is a stand-alone application (available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux) that can be installed on a USB memory device, allowing you to carry your LastPass data around with you. Pocket essentially provides backup capability and offline access for your Vault. LastPass Pocket can access your data through two main methods:
1 . LastPass Pocket can access the locally cached version of your data from your LastPass browser extension by choosing the appropriate path to the cached data. This is the same data that the LastPass browser plugin uses for offline access. LastPass Pocket can access this cache from Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari and Opera.
2. LastPass Pocket can access your data from a LastPass Encrypted File that you have exported from your LastPass Local Vault. You can export this file by going to your LastPass Browser Extension Icon -> More Options -> Advanced -> Export -> LastPass Encrypted File. Alternatively, you can use your offline cache already stored on your computer. The offline cache is an SXML file and you can find it by following the advice here. You can then open this file using Pocket:
For more information on LastPass Pocket, check out our LastPass Pocket page.
Testing Offline Access
You can test Offline Access to your LastPass Vault by disconnecting your computer or device from its internet connection and logging in to LastPass or LastPass Pocket.
If you are using a computer, you can easily disconnect from the internet by unplugging the Ethernet cable from your computer's Ethernet port. You will also want to temporarily disable all wireless connections you use for Wi-Fi. After this, try logging in to your LastPass browser extension or LastPass Pocket.
On your smartphone or tablet, disable all mobile data or Wi-Fi connections (setting your phone or tablet to Airplane mode can accomplish this on most devices) and log in to the LastPass app via your data in offline mode.
Using Offline Access with Multi-Factor Authentication
If you are using any form of Multi-Factor Authentication, you need to make sure that you have Enabled Offline Access in the settings for your particular authentication device. Without allowing offline access, you will not store a local cache for LastPass to access when there is no connection present.
Multifactor authentication cannot not be prompted in offline logins (with the exception of Yubikey and Sesame).
Therefore, please note, if you Enable Offline Access while using a multifactor, you will be able to log in without using your Authenticator code. And in cases of a connectivity issue, LastPass may log in offline first, before establishing connectivity to your Online Vault and prompting for your authenticator code. This may cause LastPass to autofill any login credentials you have saved in LastPass for the current page you are on, and then pop the prompt.
Offline Access – Multiple Yubikeys
When you have multiple yubikeys enabled for your LastPass account, only the Yubikey in slot 1 in Account Settings > Multifactor Options tab > Yubikey is used to log in offline. It is because that key is used to doubly encrypt your data. If you use another yubikey, you will see a blank vault in offline mode.

Oh, I read Castigo Cay as well and enjoyed it. While I enjoyed the story, it was similar enough to the "Enemies" that my brain tried to connect the plots in some way.Anyhow, sorry for hijacking the thread, but that's going to happen when we're force to wait several weeks for book 3
Just so we swerve back on topic, I think that both the Lisa character and the auditor's assistant (Jeanette? can't remember the name) are both believable female characters. Sometimes it's difficult for male fiction authors to do credible female characters; they come out as harpies, sluts, or furniture. Not so here; both G and Bracken write women well, I think.
Also, if this was made into a movie, Jeanie should be played by some smoking hot actress.
She's hot in real life.
Either I'm psychic, or you're a decent writer to have made that impression.
I loved the first 2 books, but I had at least 3 times where it was so (badly) edited, that it popped me out of the book, and back into life. In the second book, one characters is seen a "cute" by one of the women. It is written almost the same way in the very next paragraph. I stopped reading, and started to try to figure out if Grant was trying to emphasise how cute he was, or if the duplicates were a mistake in editing. But, good job on the first 2 anyway, and look forward to the rest coming out. I like the fact that I know where some of the research came from(I can remember the thread). PokeShell
...Speaking of female characters, I also found Lisa's mom and Mrs. Ngyuen very believable. Heck, I KNOW ladies like Mrs. Ngyuen.
Heavy g,Do we have a title for book 3 yet? I'd expect since we're merely weeks away you could divulge that much.I'll update the thread topic if you decide to share.
Any chance of early release for dedicated readers and fans like TSP audience....? Hint Hint.....
Not sure how smurf hunter got the cover for Book Three, but I can verify that this is the correct cover. This is not a spoof."The Community" is about the people at Pierce Point forming up a community. Book Four is called... Guess you'll have to wait on that one.
I hate this thread solely because I saw the title and raced to amazon to order it.....Then I find out its not out....
OK what up with Amazon? It claims it was published on the 10th. Another entry on Amazon claims the 11th. I looked for it earlier today and didnt see anything at all when most books have a pre-release entry.

Capitol Alert Breaking
State lawmakers approve tax credit for Boeing and Lockheed Martin
Despite late lobbying from an aerospace industry rival, lawmakers approved expedited legislation Thursday designed to give the state the upper hand in landing subcontracts for a new strategic bomber project.
The California Senate passed a fast-tracked measure to grant $420 million in tax credits over 15 years for the production project involving veteran military contractors Boeing and Lockheed Martin. The measure passed 28-6.
The Assembly quickly followed suit before both houses headed off on a monthlong recess.
Assembly Bill 2389 by Democratic Assemblyman Steve Fox and Republican Sen. Steve Knight, both of Palmdale, is meant to help reverse years of industry decline in California. It would provide a tax credit worth 17.5 percent of wages paid to manufacturing workers.
Knight framed the package as a seminal moment for the state to reclaim its status as the home of the aerospace industry.
"Call it an investment. There is nothing unless we get something," he said. "This is an incentive plan that we should be behind."
But critics like state Sen. Ben Hueso, D-San Diego, denounced the pact as corporate welfare, morally wrong and "not the biggest priority facing California today."
"The opportunity costs in this are just too high for me," added Sen. Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley, saying lawmakers should prioritize the needs of schoolchildren and infrastructure.
Representatives from Northrop Grumman Corp. have objected to the language of the bill, asserting that it unfairly favored the Boeing-Lockheed partnership by limiting the tax break to a subcontractor. Northrop wanted it amended to allow "prime" contractors. The aerospace industry giants are the only firms in position to secure the contract, and Northrop also has been in negotiations with the state of Florida.
In a hearing earlier Thursday, Northrop officials told senators that they would commit 1,500 new jobs in Palmdale if the firm is awarded the contract – regardless of whether it received the state subsidy. They argued that they never would have sought the break and only entered the discussion because it stood to put them at a competitive disadvantage.
Sen. Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles, said the Brown administration and the companies put lawmakers in a tough position by negotiating for months and leaving them with little time and few options other than to approve the package.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said he did not like being put in the center of a bidding contest between corporations. But he said that while tax increases are sometimes needed to invest in vital services, the only thing that will sustain that in the long run are high-wage jobs and industry.
He and other lawmakers stressed that they were unwilling to risk losing an estimated 1,100 jobs (750 new and 350 existing) if Boeing-Lockheed does not get the tax credit. In a nod to Northrop, lawmakers pledged to expedite a bill next month that expands eligibility to contractors.
California aerospace production and manufacturing employment plummeted nearly in half from 139,300 in 1993 to 70,800 in 2013, though much of the drop occurred before 2004, according to the Employment Development Department.

Over the past month I have witnessed and participated in the local contingent of the now-global movement known as Occupy Wall Street/Occupy Together. The goal of this nonviolent movement, fueled by people in 1,497 cities throughout the world, is to challenge capitalism by protesting major banks, corporations, and the top 1% of people who benefit from our country's current economic system. Through taking over public space, consensus-based general assemblies, demonstrations, direct actions, workshops, teach-ins, defense against police brutality, and collaborations with local grassroots organizations and various unions, this movement is full of energy, complications, and has the potential to get people talking about systemic oppression and building together to create some real change.
As an artist and one of the 99%, I keep coming back to the questions, what is the place of artists in this movement and what can we learn here?
Consider this a call to action! Let's talk about our role in this movement. How are we already making our voices heard, and how can we put our creative efforts towards this movement? As the inequities of capitalism are exposed, how might we, as artists, reconsider our reliance upon this economic system? How is the financial sustainability and livelihood of artists in the Bay Area connected to larger movements for economic justice that have been fought here for years?

The Walcott Quarry of the Burgess Shale on a beautiful day
Mark Wilson August 6th, 2009
FIELD, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA–We have a small group of seven people for this expedition organized by Matthew James of Sonoma State University in California. Everyone is from California except me (although I was invited through my California roots). Our guide to the Walcott Quarry didn't show up yesterday morning, so we joined a much larger group from Chevron — an interesting and productive mix of industry professionals and academics. Here is a movie of our exploration in the quarry:

>>>boxscore game one
>>>boxscore game two
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - Out-scoring its opponents 39-7 over the course of a doubleheader, the No. 14 Georgia College & State University baseball team (35-13) swept the University of Montevallo (22-31-1) 20-2 and 19-5 at John Kurtz Field today (April 25).
Third baseman Matt Pitts (Brunswick, Ga.) and catcher Pete Paris (Scranton, Pa.) had banner days for the Bobcats. Pitts was a combined 3-for-9, scoring three times and driving in three, with two home runs, one coming in each game. Paris did Pitts even one better, going 5-for-7, blasting a grand slam and a two-run shot, driving in 10 runs and scoring five.
In game one, the Bobcats ripped four home runs and busted a 4-2 game wide open with a 12-run sixth inning.
Five Bobcats had multi-hit games, with Paris leading the way with a 2-for-4 game, driving in four and scoring twice. Leftfielder Kyle Allen (Conyers, Ga.) was 2-for-3 with two runs, and senior Danny McCorkell (Wentzville, Mo.) came off the bench for a 2-for-2 day, scoring twice and driving in two with a home run.
First baseman Pitts went 2-for-6 with two runs and two RBI, also knocking a home run, while shortstop ChandlerSnell (Loganville, Ga.) finished 2-for-4 with two runs. Freshman Ryan Holland (Duluth, Ga.) swatted his first career round-tripper, a pinch hit solo blast.
The beneficiary of the runs was lefty starter Clete Jessup (Darien, Ga.) going 5 1/3 with four whiffs and two runs allowed for hits fifth win (5-3). John Michael Caraway (5-5) went 4 1/3 in the loss, allowing four earned runs and fanning seven.
The Bobcats scored 20-plus runs for just the second time this season, the last being a 22-2 victory over Columbia Union College Feb. 17. Every spot in the order scored at least one run.
Game two was more of the same, as GCSU got another 12-run inning-this time the fourth-en route to the 19-5 drubbing.
Paris was 3-for-4 with six RBI on the two bombs, scoring three times. Second baseman Brooks Robinson (Evans, Ga.) was a perfect 4-for-4, driving in four and scoring three times, knocking his fourth home run of the year. Third baseman Steve Muoio (Rochester, N.Y.) managed a 2-for-3, scoring twice and plating one, while McCorkell was 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs from the leadoff spot.
Again, every spot in the GCSU order scored a run. Righty starter Eric Pettepher (Gordon, Ga.) nabbed the team lead in wins, improving to 6-2 with three earned runs over five innings, fanning six. UM starter Wes Rich (0-3) made it three innings in the loss, allowing 13 earned runs.
Georgia College stole eight bases over the two games, giving it 138 on the season, passing last year's 132 into third on the school's single-season recordbook. The Bobcats are just three behind second place (the school's NCAA-era record) at 141 in 1999. GCSU is now 5-0 all-time against Montevallo.
The Bobcats are back in action Tuesday, April 28 at 4 p.m., hosting Valdosta State University at John Kurtz Field.

I served this rice with the Three-Cheese Enchiladas we ate last night. This rice was super easy to put together and tasted great. The flavors were perfect. This was a quick and easy homemade rice-a-roni. I will make this again when we eat Mexican at home.
The second time we made this I added a can of black beans - awesome!
Mexican Style Rice
adapted from Lynn's Kitchen Adventures
(Printable Recipe)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt

CORAL GABLES -- Tommy Streeter was asked Wednesday about what might have hampered his ability to be more involved in the Hurricanes passing game in each of his first three seasons.
Streeter paused and then smiled almost as if he was weighing whether or not to answer the question honestly. Finally, he came out with it. "I'd say, not taking anything away from the old staff, but I felt those guys had their guys that they felt confident in," Streeter said.
Well, it's safe to say Al Golden, offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch and receivers coach George McDonald aren't lacking much confidence in Streeter. The former Miami Northwestern standout, who caught 16 passes for 286 yards and TDs combined in his first three years at UM, has seen his role shift dramatically this season.
He's grown from afterthought into one of UM's most reliable targets. The 6-5, 215-pound Streeter is second on the team behind Allen Hurns with 10 catches for 130 yards and a touchdown. Hurns has caught 12 passes for 159 yards and two TDs. But he hasn't been UM's most targeted receiver. Streeter owns that distinction having been thrown to a team-leading 19 times.
"It feels good," Streeter said of being in the mix at receiver. "Since I've been at UM my main objective was to help this team in anyway possible."
The Hurricanes aren't exactly lighting teams up in the passing game. With tailback Lamar Miller carrying most of the load on offense, UM ranks 87th in passing. But McDonald's receivers have done a pretty good shining brightly -- especially in light that the unit lost record-setting receiver Leonard Hankerson (Redskins) and hasn't gotten much out of senior LaRon Byrd or the team's tight ends.
McDonald said Wednesday his receivers have dropped just three passes in UM's first three games. Drops were clearly a much bigger problem a year ago under Aubrey Hill.
"They're doing pretty good," McDonald said Wednesday. "But we still have a lot of work to do.
"We've caught some tough balls, but I don't want to single anybody out. But we haven't caught every ball. We're catching a high clip. Jacory and Stephen have done a good job giving us catchable balls. We've done a good job coming down with them."
McDonald said he's a big stickler for what guys do in practice and believes it has a carryover to game days. That's why he and Golden love Hurns, who plays with as much enthusiasm and energy in practice according to teammates as he does on game day.
"He comes out here in practice, dives, blocks and does the same things on Saturdays," McDonald said. "It's been real good to show him as an example to the group -- especially the young guys -- if you do the right things everyday you can be successful too."
McDonald said freshman Phillip Dorsett "has really followed Allen's lead." Golden said Wednesday Dorsett is getting about 20 snaps per game.
"Same thing with Reshawn [Scott]," McDonald said. "He had a great week of practice, so we gave him a couple plays. Like coach Fisch talks about, we want everybody to have an opportunity to go out and make plays. But in order to do that you need to come to practice and earn it. That's why you're seeing some of these new, young guys on the field."
As for Byrd, who has four receptions for 41 yards (he had 12 for 118 after 3 games a year ago), McDonald said he's "in a little bit of a slump -- just like a home run hitter."
"We've tried to have him go back to the basics," McDonald said. "As a senior, you put a lot of pressure on yourself because it's your last go-around, your last games. We just want LaRon to back to having fun. We're going to need him. He's going to come up big. It might be this week. But he's going to be in our rotation. Right now he's just playing a little too tense."
Asked if Byrd was responsible for Jacory Harris' lone interception Saturday against Kansas State, McDonald said: "He needed to come back to the ball a little harder. He pulled up a little bit and the DB was able to undercut him. So, it's just the matter of him trusting his training and coming back to the ball a little bit harder."
McDonald said senior Travis Benjamin, suspended for the opener, "is buying into what we're doing." Benjamin is third on the team with nine catches for 104 yards and a touchdown. "We're excited to have him back," McDonald said.
McDonald cited Benjamin, Hurns, Streeter and Byrd as players who have taken over Hankerson's role as vocal leaders. "I think a lot of guys are taking ownership," McDonald said. " I think everybody feels like they have a voice. It's not just one dominant guy. Everybody has made plays and earned the right to speak up. That's what we want as a team."
Junior Kendall Thompkins, who has shined on special teams, has yet to catch a pass. "He's been on the field," McDonald said. "Sometimes the ball just doesn't go your way."
> UM coach Al Golden thanked reporters Wednesday for continuing to bring up the lack of production from the team's tight ends.
Asked why Chase Ford, Clive Walford and Asante Cleveland have combined for just 6 catches for 48 yards, Golden said: "Some of it is just what [the defense] is giving us. Clive had a touchdown called back against Ohio State. We had a couple of other opportunities we had to give it to him and we didn't. It's as simple as that. It's a function of them running the right route, the right depth, Jacory [Harris] being precise, getting the protection on that specific play and then everybody executing."
> UM quarterback Jacory Harris said Tuesday he called for audibles "a couple times" in last Saturday's loss to Kansas State. One of them was on Lamar Miller's 59-yard touchdown run.
Asked why the passing offense was much more aggressive in the second half (Harris was 11 of 13 for 191 yards, 2 TDs) versus Kansas State, Harris said: "Coach called good plays."
> Palm Beach Post reporter Jorge Milian spotted Harris wearing a harness around his left shoulder Wednesday at practice. Harris was hit hard by a Kansas State defender on his fourth quarter touchdown pass to Travis Benjamin Saturday.
I spotted Lamar Miller no longer wearing a yellow non-contact jersey Wednesday. Golden reiterated banged up players like Miller would play Saturday. "I keep telling you guys they're playing, they're all playing," Golden said. "If the doctor tells me otherwise we'll report it. But they're all playing."

Working in physics: Tools for learning
Some instruments in teaching laboratories may look old-fashioned, but those wooden boxes can hold surprisingly advanced equipment. George Herold describes his career designing experiments for undergraduate labs.
The old joke is, "If it squirms, it's a biology lab, if it stinks, it's a chemistry lab and if it doesn't work, it's a physics lab". My current job is to make a lie of the latter, by making physics apparatus that works for the students without needing a "resident expert" to maintain or explain it.
I work for TeachSpin, a small company that builds equipment that is used to teach students in advanced undergraduate physics labs. Some of the instruments are capable of making "research grade" measurements, and all are designed for open-ended investigations where the students can go beyond what is outlined in the manual. As TeachSpin's senior scientist, I am in charge of designing new experiments, supervising their construction and testing them before they leave the workshop for new homes in labs around the world. The instruments the firm makes span a range of physics topics, from atomic physics and magnetic resonance to acoustics and optics; they can be as simple as magnetic-force apparatus or as complex as measuring the hyperfine splitting in the excited states of rubidium atoms using Doppler-free spectroscopy.
TeachSpin was founded in 1992 by Jonathan Reichert, who was then a physics professor at the University of Buffalo in the US. He was also my thesis advisor - proving once again that when it comes to careers, it is often who you know rather than what you know that counts. After I completed my PhD in solid-state physics in 1993, I worked at TeachSpin for several months, designing electronics for its first instrument - a pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. A few postdoc positions later, I found myself working as a staff scientist at the W M Keck Free Electron Laser at Vanderbilt University when the facility lost its funding for a year. As a recently married new father, I thought I should start looking for a job that did not depend on the three-year research-funding cycle. By that time, TeachSpin had grown and it was looking to hire a full-time physicist. It was a perfect fit for both of us.
From "care and feeding" to design
Part of my time is spent on what I call "care and feeding" of existing instruments. This can range from talking to potential customers about the apparatus, to helping existing users get their experiments up and running, and even to coaching students. Every once in a while, I get some good physics questions, but in the main, people want to know about set-up and specifications.
This part of my job also includes production-related work like answering questions from people in the workshop, finding replacement parts for something that is about to become obsolete or helping set up equipment for intermediate-level testing. My favourite part of production work is the final testing of the apparatus. First, I make sure all the mechanical parts and electronics are working. Then, I get to take the first pieces of data from this particular unit. Even though I have seen the same dips, bumps and/or wiggles of data hundreds of times before, it is still a bit of a thrill to see them in their latest incarnation. Once the data are recorded and a copy placed in the user manual, I wheel the instrument out to be packed up for shipping. At these times, I cannot help feeling a little like a proud father sending another of my "babies" out into the world, hoping the new owners will cherish it as much as I do. Note that "father" is a good analogy - it is the production people who do all the finicky assembly.
Most of my time, however, is devoted to designing new instruments. This could be in collaboration with an outside expert - the firm built both its diode-laser spectroscopy unit and its Fabry–Pérot cavity with Ken Libbrecht of the California Institute of Technology, for example - or entirely with in-house staff. My favourite part of the design process is starting on a new project. For example, my latest project is the study of "Johnson" and "shot" noise in electronic circuits; there are some beautiful correlation techniques using two identical amplifiers that can be used to remove the noise, but it looks like I will not be able to do this with a single instrument. As is often the case, I may at this point have to learn some new physics (a great excuse to go and buy some books) and, at this early stage, the sky is the limit. My colleagues and I always like to think about all the possible things the new piece of apparatus might do, and any crazy ideas can be explored.
Soon after this, reality sets in and we have to balance things like the costs and the time involved against the potential for increased sales. With a few more parts, for example, our optical-pumping apparatus could be made into a rubidium magnetometer or an atomic clock, but most students will still be struggling with the basics after several weeks of using the equipment. The challenge is to let the apparatus be used over as wide an experimental range as possible - giving the student lots of different knobs to turn (figuratively and literally) - yet keep the price low enough that physics departments can still afford to buy it. I sometimes feel like I am cheating the student by doing all the design work: I learn a great deal from all the mistakes I make, but the students do not get this opportunity. However, making mistakes takes time, and in undergraduate labs, this is often in short supply.
Making things work
A career in instrument building can involve knowledge from almost any area of science and technology. A list of what I use daily might start with practical topics like electronics, technical drawing and material properties, and continue on to entire fields like optics, atomic physics, electromagnetism or solid-state physics. One very useful trait for this - common to many scientists and engineers - is a desire to understand how things work, and perhaps to make them work better or be produced more cheaply. Aside from this, I think one of my greatest assets is having the tenacity to stick with a problem until I understand it. A small glitch or wiggle in an experimental spectrum is not acceptable. Chasing down all the small noise sources that can crop up in a piece of equipment takes time, but the reward is a good instrument.
One of the drawbacks of working for a small firm is that there are few other physicists to help you bounce ideas around. E-mail helps, but it is not the same as standing at a whiteboard, drawing pictures and waving my hands. However, this changes for a few months each year when David Van Baak, a physicist from Calvin College, visits to collaborate on new projects. During this period, we have a marvellous time and the ideas just keep on coming - we brainstorm, argue, refine and continually think of more experiments to do with the apparatus we are designing until we finally have to stop and focus on getting it out the door.
As there is a large practical component to my work, my advice to anyone interested in a similar career is to get to know the technicians in your department or university workshop. If you are a graduate student designing equipment for an experiment, do not just submit a drawing to the technicians - take the time to talk to them about what you are doing. You may have to bribe them with pizza or other offerings, but this will be money and time well spent. You do not have to accept all of their suggestions, but they are bound to have some good ideas about how to make things work.
Obviously, a physics degree can be good preparation for this kind of work, but my first degree was actually in engineering, so I was not exposed to the classic advanced-physics labs. This naivety can be useful. First, I do not have preconceived notions of how the experiments should be done, so I may be able to think of a different way to show the desired effect. For example, you do not necessarily need to be able to sweep the frequency of your Fabry–Pérot cavity if you can tune the wavelength of your diode laser. And perhaps even more importantly, when I start a new project, I am approaching it much like the students: I am doing it for the first time.

Disney has closed the doors to Robert Zemeckis's motion-capture studio ImageMovers Digital. But in the wake of this destruction comes some interesting news. Disney is still moving forward with mo-cap Yellow Submarine and Mars Needs Moms.
The New York Times announced that ImageMovers was done. The San Francisco company would slowly start wrapping production and closing its office doors. Disney explained it was the financial climate of today that made the cost cutting moves so important. We tend to think it was more the so-so box office turn out for Zemecki's A Christmas Carol, and the NYT agrees.
But interestingly enough Disney still has plans to make Zemeckis's current films, the mo-cap film adaptation of children's book Mars Needs Moms, and the remake of The Beatles cartoon Yellow Submarine. We understand why they'd want to keep Yellow Submarine. The Beatles have always managed to bring in the crowds, and a mo-cap version of this film could be especially fantastic with 3D and the amazing soundtrack. But we wonder what hand Avatar had in Marsnot getting canned?

Many organisations have yet to begin using systematic data analysis techniques in HR, marketing and social, according to analyst house Gartner.
Gartner estimates that global business intelligence software revenue will reach $13.8 billion (£8.9 billion) in 2013, a 7 per cent increase from 2012, but significantly smaller than the 16 percent revenue growth in 2011.
"Although this is a mature market and has been a top CIO priority for years, there is still a lot of unmet demand. Every company has numerous subject areas — such as HR, marketing, social and so on — that have yet to even start with BI and analytics," said Kurt Schlegel, research vice president at Gartner.
"The descriptive analytics have largely been completed for most large companies in traditional subject areas, like finance and sales, but there is still a lot of growth expected for diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive deployments," he added.
Gartner presented a complex picture of BI and analytics purchasing and deployment, with many medium-sized organsations yet to start systematic business intelligence programmes.
"BI and analytics have grown to become the fourth-largest application software segment as end users continue to prioritise BI and information-centric projects, and spending to improve decision making and analysis," said Dan Sommer, principal research analyst. "Mastering analytics on big data will be a key driver for the next economic cycle."
While CIOs continue to spend on BI, many organisations see more tactical BI purchasing in business units for departmental and workgroup analysis and also personal BI. The growth of cloud, mobile and social technologies were driving this trend the analyst said.
Gartner also noted the emerging data-as-a-service trend, which is changing the way enterprises buy and consume BI technology.
Currently organisations generally licence software capabilities to build analytic applications, said Gartner. In future organisations increasingly will subscribe to "industry-specific data services that bundle a narrow set of data with BI and analytic capabilities embedded".

My husband and I were planning our summer vacation near Salem, Mass. His sister lives there, so we could visit and then make a three-day junket somewhere we had never been.
We found lodging at the Menemsha Inn on Martha's Vineyard in The New York Times book "36 Hours." I checked out its website – very quiet, stylish and in a woodsy/farm setting. The website has pictures of the Obamas dining at the restaurant a year or two ago. That sealed the deal. We booked it six months in advance of our summer vacation.
We made reservations for dinner at their Beach Plum Restaurant for Tuesday night. And we almost canceled the reservation because the menu was limited and fancy, and I was afraid there would be nothing for our daughter Izzy to eat.
Our 5-year-old, the daughter of chefs, is very picky and practically lives on eggs. I said to my husband, John, "If we cancel the reservation and find out the Obamas had dinner there I will die." We called the restaurant and were told it would accommodate Izzy's tastes.
We arrived a few minutes late because it was raining cats and dogs. The dining room was rustic chic – rough wooden tables, ceilings and flower boxes with comfy white cushioned chairs, mason jar water glasses, fresh wildflowers from the restaurant's farm and a stunning view of the bay.
The gardens outside our window were lush with hydrangea, rolling hills and bunnies. I snapped so many pictures with my phone the battery was near dead.
We ordered a cucumber salad with anchovies and a local cheese plate with plums and a delicious focaccia. They made Izzy the most gorgeous plate of scrambled eggs laid by their own free-range chickens that we visited on their farm earlier that day.
While we waited for our entrees we noticed a bunch of people gathering on the patio by our table just outside. We walked out to see what everyone was staring at. A gorgeous rainbow appeared. The was the last picture my phone would take.
Our entrees came after a very long time – maybe 45 minutes. Izzy was surprisingly good, drawing on the placemats, chatting about the ice cream she was to have for dessert.
After dinner Izzy and I walked outside onto the patio, down the rolling hill to see how close we could get to a free-range bunny.
On our way back up the hill we noticed a couple of guys standing quite seriously, arms crossed across chest and curly wires coming out of their ears. Their eyes were darting everywhere, searching for something. Must be Secret Service, I thought.
We sat down at our table and the table next to ours had cleared, and another guy with wiry ears was sitting there.
I turned to John and said, "I think that guy is Secret Service."
I reminded him of the time we saw the Daily Show live and the guest was Andy Card, Bush's press secretary. There were Secret Service all over the place and they had the same wiry ears and soldier stance.
Then our waiter appeared, asking if we would like dessert. I asked him if the President was coming and he said, "I can't say, but if you stay for dessert it may be a once in a lifetime opportunity."
We ordered the namesake plum cake dessert and coffee, and I started to feel light headed with anticipation. Two minutes later Michelle and Barack Obama walked in and sat down at the table next to us, 10 feet away. John and I were sitting side by side facing them (and Izzy).
I whispered to Izzy that he was our President, whom she immediately recognized! She took her drawing over to Michelle and jumped in her lap. Michelle was lovely and sweet, hugging Izzy and they both chatted with her and admired her flower drawings.
What a moment for my phone camera to die. Michelle had on a simple black dress (I think) with a long necklace that Izzy played with. Barack had on a casual button-down white shirt, charcoal pants and black dress shoes. They were a gorgeous couple.
Then Izzy began staring at them, probably taking cues from us, though we were desperately trying to be cool. Not a good combo.
We got the check so they could enjoy their dinner and privacy sans children. On our way out Izzy handed them another piece of artwork with a heart and the word "LOVE." John shook Barack's hand and thanked him for working so hard, and I told them how much we loved them and that they were amazing. The First Lady looked at my armful of coloring books and crayons and noted that they used to travel that way when the girls were younger.
I was nearly in tears on the way out. What luck. Now if only I had a picture to remind Izzy that she dined with a sitting, beloved President of the United States.

Actually, I do use the old line about focusing thought, pointing out that a Mind Reader can only discern "surface thoughts" vs. random bits of information; within the New Age circles I typically find myself in, this is very much acceptable and "logical" to the participants. I will also explain the concept of "Psychometry" and how, by them putting their energy into the word they write, they are placing a part of their own energy into the slip, which allows me to more readily connect with them. Typically I've done a demonstration of Psychometry prior to this or promise to show them more on psychometry following the billet routine. In either instance I typically rely on the Stuart Palm "Mao Tou Knows" pendulum.
Speaking of Pendulums . . . in the Acidus Novus material sold through mevproshop.com you will find some interesting techniques in using the AN peek. I explain one of these methods in my routine THE READING which touches on some of Bob Cassidy's thinking as well.

I have been building and rebuilding an ASP.NET program.
I made the horrible mistake, I think, of recently copying the published content back to the folder I was developing.
So now I have an unusual error when I build the code. It says That there is a duplicate definition in one file in a temporary directory with anohter file in a temporary directory.
Error 3
The type 'ChildEventHandler' exists in both 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files...\b90cc7a4\28d266b\assembly\dl3\c4cf1ea3\b6e4b808_ef7cce01\App_Code.DLL' and 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files...\b90cc7a4\28d266b\App_Code.asx5jp5d.dll' C:\inetpub\wwwroot...\Resources\usercontrols....ascx.cs 11 18 C:......\
I removed project and file names, of course, but this is basically what the error says.
Since the error is with temporary files, what should I do?
I do not see a "clear" option in visual studio to clear out the files of a compile.

Executive to Assume Newly Created Role as
Senior Vice President and Chief Corporate Content Licensing Officer
NEW YORK — November 8, 2012 — Scott Koondel has been named Senior Vice President and Chief Corporate Content Licensing Officer for CBS Corporation. The announcement was made today by Joseph Ianniello, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, CBS Corporation, to whom Koondel will report.
In this new role, Koondel will be responsible for developing and executing a coordinated company strategy designed to maximize revenue from the licensing and distribution of content from all of the Company's business units, including CBS Studios, CBS Television Network, CBS News, SHOWTIME, CBS Films and CBS Interactive. In addition, Koondel will also seek opportunities to optimize the value of programming assets associated with CBS's interest in The CW, and will integrate and grow revenue derived from a vast library of past CBS series.
"Scott's efforts over the past several years have opened a variety of new markets and have had a major positive financial impact for CBS," said Ianniello. "He is a truly unique executive, with his finger on the pulse of this emerging growth area for our company. We look forward to his continued success as we drive the value of our content across the ever-expanding platforms that provide such a clear opportunity for us."
Koondel will continue to stay closely involved in the support of the Company's efforts in domestic cable and digital programming sales under the newly formed CBS Global Distribution Group, a merger of the Company's domestic and international programming distribution business.
Prior to this appointment, in addition to his growing corporate role, Koondel had been the President of Distribution for CBS Television Distribution, where he consistently set industry records for the sale of CBS programming in the off-network programming marketplace. At the same time, he spearheaded the Company's entry into the emerging digital distribution space, and was instrumental in the deals that brought CBS library programming to Netflix and Amazon, among others.
Previously, Koondel served as Executive Vice President, Off-Network, Cable and Interactive Media for CBS Television Distribution, following its creation after the September 2006 merger of King World and CBS Paramount Domestic Television. Before the merger he had been Executive Vice President, Distribution, CBS Paramount Domestic Television, where he oversaw a national sales force for the division's off-network and first-run syndicated programming. Over the years, he played a key role in the integration of Viacom Productions, Spelling Entertainment, Worldvision and Rysher's television assets into CBS Paramount Domestic Television.
Prior to CBS's separation from Viacom in January 2006, Koondel oversaw distribution for all of Paramount Pictures' theatrical features and managed its library of more than 3,600 titles. He first joined Paramount in 1994 as Eastern Division Manager in New York. He was promoted to Vice President of Off-Network Television Sales in 1997, and soon added first-run television to his responsibilities. In 1999, he was named Senior Vice President and National Sales Manager. Previously, Koondel held executive positions in sales and marketing at Tribune Television, A&E Cable Networks and Cox Communications.

BAGHDAD, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- The central government of Iraq won't let U.S. supermajor Exxon Mobil "step over the constitution," Iraqi Oil Minister Abdul Kareem al-Luaibi said.
Exxon, Chevron and French supermajor Total are operating the West Qurna-1 oil field in southern Iraq. All three have been sources of frustration for Baghdad as they seek more work in the semiautonomous Kurdish provinces of northern Iraq.
Luaibi was quoted by Bloomberg News as saying Baghdad wouldn't deal with companies working in the country without the central government's consent.
"We can't allow Exxon to step over the constitution," he said. "It can't continue to work in both places at the same time, they have to choose to work either in Iraq or in Kurdistan."
Both governments are at odds over which party has the ultimate say over certain aspects of the oil sector. The Kurdistan Regional Government issued a statement recently that said it was frustrated with efforts by Baghdad to let BP work in the disputed region of Kirkuk. Luaibi, however, said BP made his government a "good offer" to work in Kirkuk.
The Kurdish government imposed restrictions on oil exports as a sign of growing frustration with the central Iraqi government over oil laws.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, in its January report, said Iraq was among the members where oil production declined.

To the editor:
We are nearing the end of the political campaigns that will determine the fundamental direction for the future of our county. Some call this the "silly season." I call it the most serious of seasons.
Recently, more than one person has informed me Democrats in the area are being told because they are registered Democrats, their only choice is to vote for all Democrat candidates. The implication being that legally, they are not able to vote for Republicans because of their party affiliation.

Arava, arthritis, Carla Kienast, Medical, Orencia, replacement surgery, shoulder replacement, Shoulder Surgery
So this is the middle of the third week I've been back on the drugs. Overall, I've been doing pretty well but unfortunately I think this is more a result of the prednisone and the Celebrex than the Orencia and Arava. Of course I've only had two Orencia injections (third one due this evening), so that's to be expected, and I'm only taking the "helper" Arava dose of 10 mg, not the more therapeutic dose of 20 mg.
The reason I think it's the prednisone talking is that this week I dropped the daily dosage from 5 mg to 2.5 mg as scheduled to taper off it and lots of those aches and pains are popping back up again. My on-again, off-again bursitis in my left hip is on again; my right shoulder which needs to be replaced has ramped up the pain levels again, and I'm starting to reach for my wrist wrap when I know I'm going to be sitting at my computer typing for a while.
The plan is, of course, that the Orencia will start kicking in about the time the prednisone cuts off completely the end of next week. Keep your fingers crossed.
And speaking of the shoulder, I have an appointment early next week to talk to the surgeon about replacing it. It's not ever going to get any better and, in addition to the joint pain, I've started losing range of motion. I haven't lost a lot, but enough to be noticeable. As they say, if the result is inevitable, get it done in the year where you've already met all your deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses.
Right now, I'm thinking an October timeframe for the surgery based on known work issues and my husband's schedule. But of course, having more surgery means that I'll have to go off my RA drugs again. (Seems like there's an echo in here.)
So that's the update from my corner of the world. I hope your day is going okay. Thanks for checking in.

The Orange County Fair Board decided Wednesday to appoint a new interim CEO to manage the public fairgrounds.
Doug Lofstrom, a former executive at the fair, will take over this month from departing interim CEO Jerome Hoban.
Hoban resigned Monday from the top post at the Orange County Fair & Event Center, which manages the 150-acre fairgrounds and produces the county fair.
Hoban leaves while community activists and at least one politically appointed board member continue to question the role of those involved in the aborted attempt to sell the state-owned fairgrounds. Critics have focused on the allegation that public funds were spent to privatize the property. Hoban was vice president of operations at the height of the sale process, in 2009 and 2010, but denies any connection to consultant contracts now being scrutinized.
"There are always going to be big politics at a place as highly visible as the Orange County Fair," he said before Wednesday's meeting. "I had nothing to do with it."
Board President Doug La Belle on Wednesday also downplayed any connection to the sale inquiry.
"There was no relationship or tie-in to the existing staff," said La Belle, who said he was happy for Hoban, who will take over as CEO of the Alameda County Fair. "Jerome has served the organization very well over the years."
Lofstrom has more than 30 years of experience in the fair business, La Belle said, and was previously vice president of events at the Orange County fairgrounds. The board will conduct a search for a permanent CEO.
Before the resignation, Wednesday's meeting was intended to address Hoban's future with the fair and whether he would become the permanent chief executive.
Hoban plans to leave at the end of the month for the Northern California fair, which has an average attendance of about 600,000 people over its run, he said. The OC Fair averages about 1.4 million.
Hoban worked at the fair for nearly 21 years and oversaw the construction of a hangar-style exhibit hall and the ongoing renovation of the Pacific Amphitheatre.
His predecessor, then-CEO Steve Beazley, resigned last year. Beazley was in charge during the attempted fairgrounds sale.
One of the strongest critics of the sale process has been director Nick Berardino. He has spent much of his time on the board pursuing those he says "laundered" public funds to politically connected consultants such as former state Sen. Dick Ackerman.
"You clearly failed, failed to protect these board members," Berardino told Hoban and other staff members at the Jan. 17 board meeting. At a March board meeting, Berardino added, "We're cleaning this place up."
"Mr. Berardino's opinion is just an opinion," Hoban said Wednesday. "For anybody to question the integrity of the staff – they only did their job under the direction of the State of California – is concerning to me…especially for someone who espouses he cares about employees."
Berardino is general manager of the Orange County Employees Association and a fair board appointee of Gov. Jerry Brown. The Schwarzenegger administration tried to sell the fairgrounds.
Last month, the board gave the District Attorney's Office a report questioning the fairgrounds-sale process, and requesting that the district attorney reopen an investigation. District attorney's spokeswoman Farrah Emami said the office had not determined how to proceed.
