GED Cost
What is the price breakdown per test?
In California, the 2014 GED test, including all the standard elements of the 2014 GED program, costs $35 per each of the 4 modules for a total of $140. The price that test-takers pay is set by jurisdictions, and varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Do students have to pay for all of the tests at once?
GED Testing Service has no requirement that test-takers pay for all tests at one time. One of the advantages of the 2014 GED program is the flexibility that it allows test-takers to register and take only the subjects for which they are prepared, instead of testing on a schedule that is built primarily for the convenience of the test administrator.
Students can take sections of the new GED test in any order they want to. Do they pay as they go?
Yes, one advantage of the computer-based registration and scheduling system is that students can register, schedule, and pay for only those parts of the test that they are ready to take.
If I don't pass, how long do I have to wait before taking the test again?
There's no wait period in California for people who didn't pass the first time. You can take the test again whenever you're ready.
However, we encourage you receive additional instruction in the classroom or try your hand at a practice test before you re-test.
How much does it cost to retake the test? Can I retake the test for free?
GED Testing Service offers a discounted retake program for all GED test-takers. According to the program's policy, you are eligible for:
- Two discounted retakes for each subject area taken

California politics is a mess, but why can't it be an entertaining mess?
The state has a history of making politics entertaining by getting our entertainers -- Ronald Reagan, George Murphy, Arnold Schwarzenegger -- into our politics.
Today's elected leaders are a bit dry.
U.S. & World
But if times are going to be tough, why can't we slide down the hill with celebrities?
In that spirit, here's a midsummer's dream of the top 5 most likely celebrity candidates for office in California.
5. Dennis Miller. Political consultants who know him have talked him up. And there's precedent for the Saturday Night Live comedian turned politician, now that Al Franken is in the U.S. Senate.
And Miller would have a shot in a general election since he's the kind of libertarian Republican this state sometimes elects.
The question is whether he could survive a primary -- and whether voters would be able to understand his many, many cultural, literary and sports references.
Likely office: Congressman.
4. George Clooney. He keeps raising his political profile, including hosting a fundraiser for President Obama.
And he comes from political family. Of course, he seems smart, is still busy making great movies, and has said that he doesn't intend to run for office.
But if you want to do something about the Sudan, it may be easier to do that from inside the government.
Likely office: U.S. Senator.
3. Kelsey Grammer. The actor has made noises about running for something.
He's reportedly still a Republican, though he might give himself primary troubles with his recent endorsement of marriage equality.
And he's got personal baggage. But to the good side, is there any state more in need of a good shrink, even a fictional one (Dr. Frasier Crane), than California?
Likely office: U.S. Senator.
2. The Rock. The wrestler-turned-actor has been following the Schwarzenegger path into politics, moving from action roles into kid-friendly comedy, and cutting a higher philanthropic profile.
His politics are similarly hard to peg. But someone named the Rock is less likely to be accused of changing positions on issues.
Likely office: Governor
1. MC Hammer. The rapper has already been touted by former Assembly Speaker and San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown as a possible mayor of Oakland.
And it makes sense. The current occupant of the office, Jean Quan, is a waffler who seems weak-kneed. The reaction against her could easily be: we need the Hammer.
Likely office: mayor.

text: The whirlwind success Bronski Beat experienced during its mid-'80s beginnings took a major toll on singer Jimmy Somerville, who surprised a lot of people with his decision to leave the group after only one full-length album. Thanks to the popularity of singles like "Smalltown Boy" and a cover of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love," both of which showcased Somerville's singular falsetto, Bronski Beat found itself at the forefront of several countries' pop scenes. Though Somerville's departure from the group left many wondering what would become of one of the gay community's most prominent figures, the singer and songwriter didn't take long to resurface with classically trained pianist and longtime friend Richard Coles. Initially named the Committee, Somerville and Coles eventually changed names to avoid confusion with another similarly named outfit. They opted to become the Communards, in tribute to a sect of 19th century French Republicans. Stylistically, the duo balanced celebratory and sophisticated dance-pop with more subdued material that played to Coles' strengths while allowing the versatility of Somerville's voice to come to light. Covers of two disco classics, Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way" and Gloria Gaynor's "Never Can Say Goodbye," hit the Top Five of the club chart in the U.S. At the other end of the spectrum, "Reprise" was one of the sharpest attacks on Margaret Thatcher; "For a Friend" was a powerful song written for a close friend of the duo whose life was taken by AIDS. Both 1987's Communards and the following year's Red performed well commercially, spawning a number of minor hits in addition to those mentioned above. In 1988, Coles opted to leave music to be a religious commentator. Somerville responded by going solo; by 1989, he already had Read My Lips, his first album, out in the shops. He recorded sporadically throughout the following decade. ~ Andy Kellman

Feburary 2014
Stephen Pfann of the University of the Holy Land in Jerusalem wrote to me in 2008: How could actually anyone be serious about this relic! He was right. There's agreement, at least in the academic community, that the Passion relic known as the Titulus Crucis cannot be the real thing. Today, it's kept and shown in Rome, in the Basilica di Santa Croce di Gerusalemme. However, there are a couple of books out there, some documentaries and millions of websites and Internet articles claiming this piece of wood to be the true tablet put on Jesus' cross by the Romans. Historical errors and philological inaccuracies have been repeated on and on for years and when these ingredients are mixed with some propaganda, voilà, the chips are laid down: it might also be a true relic from the time of Jesus. This is what we get when scholars don't take these views seriously, but by ignoring them, we allow the people out there to buy into a fantasy.
So, once again, let's repeat some basics of the scientific analysis of relics. First of all, any biblical object to be studied should come from a controlled excavation. This means that it cannot be bought on the antiquities market, or have an unknown origin. For example, many Medieval stories tell us that relics have been brought from East to West by crusaders, or that they popped up somewhere in a church by means of a miracle. Even funnier, we are told that Jesus' home in Nazareth was brought to Italy, to Loreto, by angels in the XII century, despite the fact that no one noticed its disappearance in Galilee. Second, the relic must have an unbroken chain of authentic documents from the time of its discovery. And this is also a very relevant issue in studying Christian relics. Only if we have these two prerequisites can we proceed with the examination of the artifact.
As you can understand, only very few of the so called biblical relics can really be studied. Moreover, if we add the fact that the most famous Christian relics--such as the Shroud of Turin, the Oviedo Sudarium, the Argenteuil Tunic and also the Titulus Crucis--have all been carbon dated to the Middle Ages, every reasonable person would not consider them genuine. But this doesn't happen. Why? I believe it mainly depends on the fact--as I suggested above--that scholars rarely tackle silly claims. So, let's briefly sum up what we know about the Titulus Crucis.
Our earliest source of the Titulus is a letter written by Leonardo Sarzanese in 1492. Yes, you read that correctly: nothing is recorded at all from the supposed discovery by Constantine's mother, Helena, in 325 in Jerusalem, to its finding in a lead box in 1492 in a Rome church. This would suffice to put the Titulus in the realm of fairy tales. There was a seal of a certain Gerardus cardinalis S. Crucis--later identified with the future pope Lucius II (1144-1145)--who could have placed the wooden relic in the box. However, if this were true, there is not a single source of its existence, display or worship in Rome until 1492. A century later, in 1593, another cardinal, Bernardino Carvajal, adds that the Titulus had been brought to Rome by Helena.
What about its discovery in Jerusalem? Our earliest source among the daily records written by pilgrims, known as itinera sacra, is an anonymous man from Bordeaux, France. He went to Jerusalem around 333. The pilgrim left a detailed description of the relics that had been unearthed and displayed in the Land of the Bible. However, he doesn't mention either the Cross or the Titulus. Eusebius of Cesarea is also silent about the discovery of the Cross and its Titulus. It is surely beyond question that Eusebius, in his glorification of the Constantinian Empire, could not have failed to exploit the appearance of these sacred relics as an unsolicited affirmation of God's favor. It's only by the end of the 340s that Cyril, bishop of Jerusalem, mentions the presence of the "lignum crucis" in the basilica of the Holy Sepulchre. However, the Titulus wasn't there yet. We have to wait until 383 when a Spanish pilgrim named Egeria narrates the fact that he has seen "in mensa tam lignum crucis quam titulus". The first Church Father to connect the discovery of the Cross with Helena was Ambrose, bishop of Milan in 395.
So, even if cardinal Carvajal faked Church records by saying that the Titulus had been brought to Rome by Helena, we know for sure that it was still in Jerusalem in 383, that is, about 50 years after her death. Moreover, we're told by another pilgrim coming from Piacenza, Italy, who visited Jerusalem in 570, that he held in his hands, kissed and saw the Titulus in a "cubiculum" under the Golgotha basilica. It might also be that by this time some people forged more than one Titulus since we know that there were tens of burial shrouds of Jesus, innumerable cross nails, 18 bodies of the 12 apostles, 4 heads of John the Baptist, and multiple relics inspired by apocryphal gospels.
What is even more striking is that at the time of the presumed first display of the Titulus in Rome in the XII century, another ecclesiastical source tells us that a priest of the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, some years after the death of saint Louis king of France, saw the Titulus among many other Passion relics in that church. So, as Jan Willem Drijvers wrote in his masterpiece on Helena Augusta, the whole story of the finding of the True Cross is a pious late legend not based on contemporary historical evidence. Therefore, we're left with another edition to the legend, written in 1593, describing the finding of the lead box brought to Rome by Helena herself.
Finally, carbon dating of a very small fragment of the Titulus performed in 2002 gave a 1020 AD date as the origin of the wood. However, legends are rarely willing to die. So, you can also find on the web some "scientific" theories about Jesus emanating some sort of unknown energy when he was alive and during his resurrection as an explanation for the carbon datings miscalculations.
What do professional epigraphers say about the inscription? Here are just two opinions to give you an idea. Stephen Pfann writes:
This relic is intended to represent the plaque placed on the cross mentioned in John 19:19. There the inscription reads:
NAZWPAIOC (nom. sing. of the same) "Nazarene"
NAZAPHNOY (gen. sing. of NAZAPHNOC) is found for "Nazarene" in Mark 14:61.
The inscription on the relic has "NAZARENOYC"
The OY ligature, commonplace in Byzantine inscriptions, is also out of place in first century inscriptions.
E is used instead of H (unusual)
The -OYC ending does not fit here since it is an accusative plural ending (when applied to second declension mascline nouns).
IC is the nomina sacra for IHCOYC but not in the 1st century.
Another renowned epigrapher, Émile Puech, adds (translation mine):
LATIN: I'm not aware of any retrograde Latin inscription from Roman Palestine. This writing would be very curious if by a servant of Pilate (Jn 19, 19) unless a local Jewish worker did it. But this is even odder since Latin was meant to be read by Romans.
GREEK: I know but only one retrograde name written on an ossuary NADYOI (=IOYDAN) and it's an inscription carved by a Jew and meant to be read by very few Jews.
SEMITIC: I cannot identify with certainty even a single letter.
(Hypothetical reconstruction of the Titulus by P.L. Maier according to first century Latin, Greek, and Semitic formal inscriptions unearthed in Roman Palestine)
Conclusion: my impression is that we're dealing with an artifact of Byzantine origin at the earliest, forged to create a relic or to justify the cult of the Holy Cross in Rome. The forger probably thought that Greek and Latin were written from right to left to give the impression of authenticity, but this demonstrates total ignorance of the art of writing inscriptions in the first century. [...] In the end, I wonder if isn't a parallel story to the Shroud of Turin, whose medieval origin has been scientifically proved.
I have other relevant opinions; from the late Hanan Eshel and Levy Rahmani, who, after having written to me and asking if I were actually kidding about the authenticity of the Titulus, clearly explained that not only the relic was an evident hoax, but that it was a terrible one. It is also clear that a wooden tablet, buried for 300 years in the humid earth of Jerusalem, would have completely rotted after such a long period.
Maria-Luisa Rigato, one of the very few supporters of the Titulus Crucis, as I wrote on my website some years ago, wasn't happy with the carbon dating and with Puech's opinion. She accepted the verdict by saying that the relic then had to be "a faithful copy of the original". I agree with her, but there was malice in faking relics in the Middle Ages. So, I'd say it's "a faithful forgery of the original".

The First Settlers of Schenectady were citizens of Beverwyck. In 1661 Arent Van Curler extinguished the Indian title to lands at this place, and the following spring, with a little company of pioneers, commenced the first settlement. Two years later the lands were surveyed, allotted and patented to fifteen persons, a portion of whom being non-residents sold out their rights to permanent settlers.
For mutual safety they erected their cottages on the plat lying west of Ferry Street, which was fortified with stockadoes. Their farming lands, embracing the islands, and rich flats lying on both sides of the Mohawk, produced bountiful crops of maize and wheat: a church was early formed under the occasional ministry of Dominie Schaets of the mother church at Albany: and in spite of its exposed position as the frontier settlement, the little hamlet prospered and grew in numbers and comforts until 1690, when in one night, the 8th of February, the entire village was destroyed and the inhabitants scattered or slain. Nothing better shows the hardihood and pluck of the survivors than the fact that few if any of them abandoned the settlement; they returned in the spring, rebuilt their cottages and the little church, cast the seed into the earth, and amid many alarms awaited the harvest. Though often threatened the place was never again attacked.
It is to this little band of hardy pioneers and their descendants that the following pages are mainly devoted. The sources of this compilation are chiefly the Doop and Trouw Boeken of the First Reformed church of this city. These registers of baptisms and marriages are nearly entire from the year 1691 to this date: those of the first 30 years after the settlement were probably burned in Dominie Thesschenmaecker's parsonage in 1690.
These entire records to 1800, and in a few cases later, have been copied and posted into families in this work. The records of the venerable mother church in Albany have also been carefully searched, and whenever entries have been found relating to Schenectady families, they have been inserted herein. Large additions have likewise been made to the above sources of information from the records of the secretary of state, of the clerks of the city and county of Albany, clerk of the court of appeals; surrogate of the county of Albany; from Munsell's Annals and Collections of Albany; from family records and papers, and from gravestone inscriptions. Doubtless there is much additional information to be found by the patient and careful gleaner, especially such as relates to the later generations. In regard to the first two or three generations of descendants from the First Settlers, it is believed they will be found as completely set forth in these pages as they are likely ever to be from authentic sources.
The territory covered by this work is nearly that of the present county of Schenectady, extending about 22 miles along the Mohawk, and 4 miles on each side of that river. For the first hundred years after Schenectady was begun, the settlements were mainly confined to the river flats, gradually advancing westward, and consisted chiefly of descendants from the old Holland families of Albany and Schenectady, the Palatines being still farther west.
But after the French war and more especially after the Revolutionary war, New Englanders and Scotchmen immigrated largely to the high lands lying back from the river, which had hitherto been regarded as of little or no value.
All these new and foreign settlers, until they had churches of their own, brought their children either to Albany or Schenectady to be christened. Hence there will be found in this work many names of families then residing as far west as Caughnawaga and Canajoharie, south to the Helderberg and Schoharie, and north to Galway and Kayaderosseras patent.
The arrangement of these genealogies is simple and easily to be understood: — the tribal names are arranged alphabetically, and the families under each name are placed nearly in chronological order, and for divers reasons, are made to end with those which began to be entered in the church registers before 1800. Persons interested will find little difficulty in tracing back their pedigrees to the First Settlers, by keeping in mind the following facts. The names of all sons who subsequently became heads of families (so far as the compiler could find), are printed in italics: the husbands of daughters and the parents of both husbands and wives are in all cases mentioned when discoverable. It should also be borne in mind that inasmuch as Schenectady was originally but an offshoot from Albany, the families of both places frequently intermarrying, in making up a pedigree of any old family of Albany County as anciently constituted, this work must be regarded as a complement of the Genealogies of the First Settlers of Albany, and that both works should be carefully consulted and compared.

Getting to the coast from Portland was uneventful, but immediately the beauty of the Oregon coast was obvious. Coming from the east coast and living in so cal my idea of 'ocean views' involves boardwalks, sunbathers and surfers. Not in Oregon. Huge rocks line the coast where angry waves crash against what can hardly be described of as a beach. The road I was following rolled right along this coast most of the time, occasionally drawing inland, but soon retracting back to the coastal views and the undulating hills.
Traveling in the fall has definite advantages; the first and most obvious being decreased traffic. Campsites were at maybe 10% occupancy. An occasional RV passed me (but almost always too closely). 'Vista points' were deserted. The drawback was the short days (dark by 430-5pm) and the cold, sometimes rainy weather. I knew what to expect and was preparing myself for the rain. It's not the riding in the rain, it is the camping that is difficult. Previously, when it rained I was paranoid about any water in my tent or if any of my stuff was wet. Those days have been long gone since I have spent DAYS in the rain. Like when you set up your tent and there is already a puddle inside from packing it wet that morning. It is absolutely impossible to keep things dry. My (expensive) rain gear worked fantastic, but when you have to put it a garbage bag in your tent when you wake up and put it on the inside is wet; there is no way to avoid it. Sometimes you cannot find a covered place to cook dinner, so there you are, in a downpour, firing up your stove and measuring out rice. I left Portland on a Monday morning and it didn't rain hard until that Friday night, but it rained through the weekend and into the following Monday. News of a coming storm persisted through all of last week, but thankfully never came. It was not until the end of that week that all my stuff finally dried!
Another change about this trip was my use of state campgrounds. The Oregon and Cali coast are covered in state parks that offer hiker/biker tent sites for $2-4! This includes picnic table, water, restrooms, shower and (most importantly) a flat, level place to put your tent. If you are familiar with my previous trips I never paid to camp. 3300 miles cross country without spending a dime! Also it was worth the ambiance of the sites. I camped in forests 1/4 mile from the beach and in redwood groves. And of course I was the only person in that area. It added to the beauty of an already fantastic trip.
And this is the part I have the most trouble describing in here. How can I convey the beauty of riding through a forest of the largest trees in the world? Or riding on a narrow road 200 feet above the edge of the continent? In a car you see it as you pass by, on a bike it absorbs you for hours. In a car you could dose off and miss the environment it took me an entire day to ride through. So, I will leave the descriptions at that and maybe in person I can get into it more.
Meeting other travelers rules. Like the kid from Germany who confronted me at the golden gate bridge, my final destination, and said, 'Great time from Portland'. I looked at him perplexedly and he told me he saw me south of Portland and then two more times in the next 13 days while he hitchhiked down the coast. And the walking guy (who has a website, but I don't have the link). He left Florida in March and was heading to Canada. He had a trailer, the same one I had attached to my bike, but attached to his pack. He has done all the long distance trails in the USA. He was not as insane as he may seem, but was still a bit crazy. We shared our mutual disdain for RV's and the people who drive them and exchanged some stories. He told me a guy from Alaska was a couple days ahead of me! When you are bike touring it is really exciting to meet up with someone headed in the same direction.
As luck would have it, about a week later I ran into him at a small coffee shop in an extremely small town. He's 47, has lived in Alaska (the southeast) for over 40 years and had not spent anytime in the continental US. An avid cycle tourist, he took 4 months off of work, took a boat to Northern Washington and is heading down the coast and then across the southern US. We shared stories over coffee and then did 5 or so miles together before he pulled off and called it a day. He told of grizzly bears in Alaska and of the 38 miles of paved roads in his home town with one stoplight. I told him my parents were from NYC and that I hadn't slept in a tent till I was 19. So here we are, from completely different walks of life and we came together based on our mutual love of traveling by bike. As you can imagine he was extremely nervous about riding through SF and LA. He told me that he thought there were so many people in Northern Cali! The same place I went to to get away from people. I told him about how bike friendly SF is and how I can meet him in LA. We swapped info and I went on my way.
Now I am sitting in Los Angeles, it's sunny and warm, I am on a laptop eating vegan cupcakes and listening to muskabeatz. I have only been back 24 hours and already riding 60 miles a day in rural California and sleeping in a tent seems so far off. It is easy to feel like nothing has changed but I have so much to take with me from this 2.5 month trip. I will update with more quantitative info soon (like 1 flat tire in 2100 miles ridden!).

Preparing Students for Success and Leadership
The mission of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) at UIS is to prepare students for the future by providing a broad education for success. We teach students how to participate effectively in an interdependent, diverse, and rapidly changing world, offering education in a transformative environment that stimulates engagement with ideas, each other, and the globe.
Our objective is to help our students become:
- Intellectually and technologically sophisticated thinkers,
- Citizens aware of the challenges that our society faces, and
- Effective Leaders in their community
As a result, UIS students who graduate with a CLAS degree are fuller, richer individuals who are more capable of competing in an ever-changing job market than students whose education specialized in specific technical skills—especially those skills that may be out of date in just a few years.
The University of Illinois at Springfield is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

It's been less than 2 weeks since Jeff Tedford was relieved of his duties as the head coach of the California Golden Bears. Since then, rumors of contact with potential candidates have run rampant, while Sandy Barbour and the Cal athletic department have offered minimal comment on the ongoing search. What we do know so far is that Cal has retained DHR International – the same executive search firm that Stanford used to uncover the then obscure Jim Harbaugh from the depths of Division II.
Sandy Barbour recently confirmed in an interview (courtesy Bearinsider) that the search process will "be moving as fast as we possibly can without sacrificing the right person filling the position." She also noted that while there was interest in the Cal job during the season, she would wait until prospective candidates' seasons are over before conducting formal interviews. But now that the final games of the college football regular season are over, the Cal coaching search should soon kick into high gear.
Our friends at Cal Golden Blogs have been tracking the coaching search quite thoroughly, beginning with an in-depth list of possible candidates (HT Berklium97). CGB has also compiled extensive bios on several top targets, including Chris Petersen, Mark Helfrich, and Bob Diaco. These three candidates also happen to be in Cal Football Blog's Top 5:
1. Chris Petersen, Boise State HC
– Great fit for Cal (more below). Proven winner & 2 BCS appearances, including a Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma. Exceptional developer of talent (multiple NFL draft picks despite recruiting disadvantages). NorCal (Yuba City) native & UC Davis alum.
2. Mark Helfrich, Oregon OC
– Young (39) and highly regarded in coaching circles. Innovative offensive mind & creative game planner, despite not calling plays for Oregon's high-octane offense. Track record of developing college QBs (Bart Hendricks, Andrew Walter, Jeremiah Masoli, Marcus Mariota). Reportedly the heir apparent to Chip Kelly at Nike U.
3. Bob Diaco, Notre Dame DC
– Young (39) and charismatic. Excellent motivator & recruiter (outrecruited USC for Manti Teo). Bright defensive mind (turned ND's defense from a mediocre unit 3 years ago to arguably the top defense in CFB this year). Brian Kelly's right-hand man at ND.
4. Mike MacIntyre, San Jose State HC
– Named AFCA assistant of the year while DC at Duke. Rebuilt SJSU program from the ground up, both on the field and in the classroom (raised APR to bring SJSU off of NCAA probation). Solid recruiter (top rated class in the WAC last recruiting cycle).
4a. Dave Doeren*, Northern Illinois HC
– *No longer available as of 12/1. Accepted offer & officially hired as NC State head coach, a day after leading NIU to the MAC championship.
5. Doug Nussmeier, Alabama OC
– West Coast ties (former UW OC). Coached productive offenses at UW, developed QB Keith Price. Possible sleeper candidate.
Other rumored candidates include NFL coaches Hue Jackson (Bengals assistant/former Raiders HC) & Ron Rivera (Panthers HC & Cal alum), and current college head coaches Sonny Dykes (Louisiana Tech) & Gary Andersen (Utah State).
By most accounts, Petersen is the obvious #1 target – Cal fans' "dream candidate" if you will – but more on Coach Pete in a moment. Jackson has expressed strong interest and will reportedly be interviewing, per tweets by Yahoo columnist & Cal alum Mike Silver. Dykes has also reportedly interviewed, and a report by the CC Times' Jeff Faraudo does nothing to quash that rumor. As of December 1, none of these rumors have been confirmed by the Cal AD, while Andersen stated that he will remain at Utah State after signing a contract extension.
In our opinion, neither Jackson nor Dykes should be considered serious candidates for the Cal job. Jackson, despite his West Coast history, including past stints many years ago at Cal & USC, doesn't seem like a good fit for Cal. He's been a journeyman coach (no coaching stop for longer than 3 years), and was a polarizing figure at his last high profile job as HC of the Raiders. As for Dykes, while his explosive Air Raid offenses (at LA Tech, Arizona, Texas Tech) and Pac-12 background are a plus, his team's lack of success on the defensive side of the ball is a concern. LA Tech is among the nation's leaders in both scoring and total offense, but trends towards the bottom in several defensive categories.
This leads us back to Chris Petersen – a clear longshot, but nevertheless the guy at the top of most Cal fans' lists. Avinash of CGB put it well:
Chris Petersen would fit Cal right down to a tee. He's one of the most well-prepared gameday coaches in the business, and can make creative in-game decisions that occasionally swing games in favor of his team. … He has great recruiting roots in the region. He's a Northern California guy and graduated from the UC system and is fairly dedicated to academics. And he's still relatively young (48 years old, and entering his college football prime).
The $3+ million dollar question is, however, what will it take to get him? One thing for sure is, money isn't the only factor – indeed, Petersen turned out lucrative offers from UCLA (last year) and Stanford (two years ago) to remain at Boise State. Earlier this week in an interview with the CC Times, CP's coaching mentor (Jim Sochor) said that the timing could be right for Coach Pete to make a move, and that Cal would a great fit:
"A lot of changes have taken place there," said Sochor, referring to the Broncos' scheduled move to the Big East Conference [in 2013] and the arrival of a new athletic director last year. "I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he's had maybe some change of heart. At some point I do believe he will go elsewhere."
"He'd be great at Cal. He has all the requisites that Cal would be looking for," Sochor said. "He's a great football coach and really good person and good ambassador. He would be one of the best people they have brought on board ever."
For Cal, offering a market-rate compensation package (for both CP and his potential staff), plus highlighting the consequences of the changes mentioned above (particularly BSU's move to the geographically-challenged Big East), are a given at the negotiating table. But for Coach Pete, family is likely the most important consideration: his father still lives in Yuba City, and his wife's family also lives in Northern California. The health of his son (diagnosed with a brain tumor several years ago, but now healthy) is a factor as well. Moreover, Cal would potentially be competing against Oregon for his services – CBS Sports' Bruce Feldman was quick to report that Cal & Oregon were the two jobs that CP would consider leaving Boise for. And lastly, Petersen could easily decide to stay at Boise, making this whole discussion moot. But until he says no, we can hope for the best.
Whomever Cal hires – whether Petersen, or another candidate – will be inheriting a fairly talented Cal team in 2013. Cal has talent on both sides of the ball – Kline, Bigelow, Harper, Treggs, Powe, Rodgers, Tagaloa on offense; Sebastian, McClure, McCain, Scarlett, Forbes, Coleman, Barr on defense – the cupboard is certainly not bare. While there are question marks, especially at OL and depth on the DL, the new Cal coach could conceivably lead a first-year turnaround similar to Mora's results at UCLA this year. The key will be to find a coach that can maximize our players' potential both on the field and in the classroom. In any case, the upcoming week should prove to be interesting, as most Cal insiders predict the new coach to be selected and announced within the next 10 days. Stay tuned and Go Bears!

Something I do Care about. What ever makes the game run easier and better I say. Will be nice to see a good old Space flight simulator game.
Isn't it still largely an MMO? I remember it would maybe have a SP campaign to go with it, but most people saw the MMO part and started drooling.
It does have a singleplay campaign (with optional co-op if you wish) called squadron 42.
OMG THIS GAME IS THE BEST NOW! Single player and MMO? Couldn't ask for more.
AI NO RITE!I've been looking forward to this game for like a year. I'ma play the excremente out of it once it finally arrives

Columbia Students and Lawmakers Reacts to Gun Legislation
COLUMBIA - While the U.S. defeated a bi-partisan plan to increase background checks on gun sales, Missouri is making progress.
The Missouri House gave a preliminary approval to gun rights legislation that would allow certain school personnel to carry concealed weapons. Missouri's plan would expand who can buy and carry weapons, while also control proposals un-enforcable within the state's borders.
The University of Missouri hosted a legeslative pannel on Thursday evening where the public could ask questions about this preliminary approval, among other heated topics.
Democratic representatives Stephen Webber and Chris Kelly answered a multitude of questions, varying in topic. They discussed their careers and legislative issues in Missouri.
Webber said no matter what legislation Missouri passes, it must be in alignment with the constitution.
"Regardless of what you think about gun control, one of the important things is that we respect federal law," he said. "One of the frustrations in Jefferson City is that we've continually said we're going to ignore the federal law."
Representative Kelly refused to comment.
Courtney Scott is a member of the College Republicans at the university and attended the panel. She was shocked that the U.S. Senate did not pass the tougher gun laws.
"It's the idea that you don't want a weapon, regardless of caliber, in the hands of someone who potentially has a criminal record," she said.
Republican Senator Kurt Schaefer did not show up and failed to give any notice, leaving the discussion one-sided.
Caitlyn Yana is a senior at the university. She was extremely disappointed that Schaefer was not in attendance.
"We really hoped to have him here tonight for a balanced discussion," she said. "It's nice to provide students with different perspectives."

Union carpenter Zachary D. Constant brought joy into many people's lives, including the nieces and nephews he mentored since he was a teenager, his colleagues he made proud with his dedication to hard work, and the friends and family members he always had a smile for.
Mr. Constant, 31, of 715 Westminster Hill Road, died Saturday night while kayaking on Paradise Pond in Princeton with a friend. His family said he was dead before his kayak flipped. Lee Testagrossa, one of his best friends since childhood, pulled him to shore and frantically tried to resuscitate him, they said.
His family and friends are in shock over his death. During an interview yesterday morning, his mother said doctors didn't find any water in her son's lungs and believe he may have had a heart attack before his kayak flipped. He was the youngest of the Constants' three children and their only son.
"He was fishing and collapsed — he did not drown," said his mother, Janice L. Constant, yesterday morning. "We were told by the doctors he was dead before he hit the water. They are trying to determine what caused it."
Paul Jarvey, a spokesman for Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.'s office, said it doesn't appear the men were wearing life jackets.
He said no foul play is suspected. Autopsy results are pending, he said.
The matter is being investigated by state and environmental police, as well as police and fire authorities in Princeton and Westminster.
Mrs. Constant said her son and Mr. Testagrossa were lifelong friends, who played youth hockey together and were roommates while attending Franklin Pierce College.
"(Mr. Testagrossa) is completely broken and frantic," she said. "He did everything in his power to resuscitate Zach and tried frantically to get help. He said people wouldn't stop and finally some people stopped and called 911. The police station was right up the street."
She said he had to leave Mr. Constant on the shore and kayak to an area close to the road where he could flag someone down for help.
An officer from the Princeton Police Department who responded jumped into Mr. Testagrossa's kayak and paddled across the pond to Mr. Constant, and tried to revive him until the ambulance arrived, she said.
"He was my baby," his mother said. "He was a wonderful man and touched so many lives. He was a man with a heart of gold and a smile that lasted forever. His 9-year-old nephew said, 'Jesus must have needed someone to paint the walls a little bluer in heaven.' He is an angel that has left us too soon."
Mr. Constant would kayak and fish with Mr. Testagrossa often at the pond, said Mr. Constant's fianc�e, Kelly L. Basilio. Besides teaching his six nieces and nephews how to play deck hockey and snowboard, he loved nature and camping, she said.
The couple planned to marry in February after waiting years for the "right time."
"We met right after college through friends," the 31-year-old Lunenburg hair salon owner said. "This is very shocking and this time of year, it is even worse."
Ms. Basilio said the couple's home isn't very far from Paradise Pond and Mr. Constant was an experienced kayaker.
"His poor friend that was with him is devastated. They kayak together all the time. They loved it," she said. "I wasn't ever worried anything would happen. The water wasn't even deep enough. It was only up to Lee's waist."
According to the DA's office, both men had to paddle against the wind for a period of time to get to an area protected from the wind. When Mr. Testagrossa looked back from his kayak, he saw that Mr. Constant had overturned, and he jumped into the chest-high water to pull him out.
Both men were taken to HealthAlliance Hospital in Leominster, where Mr. Constant was pronounced dead around 4:45 p.m. Mr. Testagrossa was treated for hypothermia.
Ms. Basilio said everyone who knew Mr. Constant loved him. She said he loved his nieces and nephews and would spend as much time with them as he could.
"He loved those children like they were his own," she said. "We badly wanted children of our own, but we waited so long because we wanted to be married before we had children."
His father, IBM engineer Denis O. Constant, said his son was like the "pied piper."
"Anyone who heard his tune, saw his smile, or talked to him, followed him the rest of their lives," he said. "He exuded love and friendship."
His son helped him prepare the yard at his home in Leominster the day before he died.
"Friday he helped me bring in wood and clean up the yard and helped get ready for winter," his father said, holding back sobs. "He said, 'I'll see you tomorrow, Dad, to finish up,' but he went fishing instead."
His father, who has severe glaucoma, said his son was always thinking of others. His son donated his corneas to a donation bank, he said.
His sister, Aimee B. Murphy from Leominster, said Mr. Constant was full of life and was fun to be around. He was also grounded and stepped up to the plate to help raise her and her sister's children when he was just a teenager.
"We had kids young and both of us lived at home while he was in high school," Ms. Murphy said. "He took over as a teenager and coached hockey for our kids, attended the father-daughter dance with my daughter and gave them the father figure they wouldn't have otherwise had. My sister keeps saying, 'He has got to be so mad that this happened and that he had to leave.' Everywhere he went, he had a family who loved him and embraced him."

Women's Comfort Mocs®
Item #: TA254547
When updating these women's Comfort Mocs, we took the word "comfort" to heart—adding the same light, flexible EVA cushioning found in many athletic shoes.
A customer favorite for years, these women's slip on moccasins have been updated for even greater comfort. Borrowing from the design of lightweight and flexible athletic shoes, we've added EVA cushioning in the midsole and durable rubber outsole. You'll also like how we've improved the suede uppers—with deeper and more saturated color as well as enhanced water- and stain-resistance.

(NASDAQ: ERTS) Label, today announced the first details for The Sims 2 Apartment Life for the PC, and The Sims 2 Apartment Pets exclusively for the Nintendo DSTM. The Sims 2 Apartment Life brings the adventure, fun and drama of close quarters of apartment living to your Sims. Launching simultaneously, The Sims 2 Apartment Pets places your Sims in their very own apartment with a variety of pets. Also, just downstairs from your Sims apartment is their own pet spa where they must take good care of a variety of visiting animals, including their own personal pets. Both titles are due for launch on August 22nd.
This expansion pack for The Sims 2 takes your Sims out of the suburbs and into a brand new busy apartment building! Adventure, fun, and drama await them as they explore their new neighborhood, mingle in coffee shops, visit a playground, meet new friends, and much more. Because there is now the ability to control multiple households in The Sims 2 Apartment Life, your Sims can live in happy harmony, or comical conflict.
New social networks and character types, including artsy bohemians, sports fans, gadget-loving techies,spice up your Sims life. And, with a new reputation meter, your Sims can build up the respect they deserve from other Sims to be the most admired or least-desired -Sim in the neighborhood. The better the reputation, the easier for your Sims to find the right friends to help them achieve their goals.
Make your Sims space look great in The Sims 2 Apartment Life! Five new building types that range from converted lofts to roomy and posh studios or luxury apartments with their own butler add to the creative and customized adventure. Enjoy a myriad of new decor options, including spiral staircases and lofty, high ceilings. Your Sims will get a whole new kind of experience through the drama of close quarters living!
In your Sims new apartment adventure on the Nintendo DS, care for a variety of local pets, including loveable cats and dogs, slithery snakes, hamsters, colourful birds, and cuddly rabbits to make sure they receive the right treatment so that they stay happy, healthy and looking good. Simoleans earned can be used to furnish the perfect apartment and buy fun pet accessories like hats, shoes and toys. Players can use the Nintendo DS touch screen and stylus to play cool mini games and unlock new objects for their Sim and their pets. And in one mini game you can charm a snake by blowing into the Nintendo DS microphone, which serves as your musical instrument.
The Sims 2 Apartment Life and The Sims 2 Apartment Pets are two new entertainment experiences that put your Sims in the midst of all the drama and humour of busy apartment life, said Rod Humble, Head of Studio for The Sims Label. These two games reflect an aspect of real life that players can relate to, and now for the first time, their Sims can explore that same lifestyle in The Sims 2 Apartment Life on the PC and make pets part of the fun in The Sims 2 Apartment Pets for the Nintendo DS.
Bring on the night and celebrate with your Sims!

It's a very safe bet that 2009 Formula One World Champion Jenson Button is a better driver than every single person reading this site right now.
But you readers might be better parkers.
Button is in California with his trainer right now getting ready for the upcoming 2013 F1 season, which he posted about on Twitter.
Two things jump out:
- They parked diagonally, cutting off two spaces.
- Jenson drives for McLaren-Mercedes, yet he's in a Porsche Cayenne. The Mercedes brass might have something to say about that.
It is fully possible that the car belongs to his trainer and not Jenson. But I would never let anyone else drive if I were an F1 pilot.
Maybe that's just me.
(Hat Tip to Justin!)

5 Simple Mind Hacks That Changed My Life
Ever had a single moment that changed your entire life? One event, one mental tweak, one epiphany that made everything better?
I have.
Granted, we're not talking about something as huge as turning into a masked crimefighter because my parents were murdered in front of me -- but that's a good thing. Only so many people have experiences like that. I'm talking about relatively small modifications that have had an outsized positive impact on my life. Not only can these mind hacks do the same thing for you, but you can adopt every one of them by the end of this article if you choose to do so.
1) Making yourself impervious to criticism.
When you write about politics for a living, you get called every nasty thing in the book. There's not a single feature on my body that hasn't been thoroughly critiqued. I've been called ugly, fat, stupid, inbred, retarded, a fascist, a Nazi, a racist, and dozens of other terms that I'm not allowed to write on PJM. I get smeared and lied about. I receive death threats. There's not a day that goes by in my life where I don't either get hate mail or get attacked in the comments of articles that I write. After reading that, ponder the fact that when I started writing for a living, not only was I sensitive to criticism, but conflict with other people made me uncomfortable. So how did I go from that to retweeting hate aimed at me on Twitter, laughing off death threats, and taking on four liberals at a time on HuffPostLive?
It started with adopting a quote from Frederick Douglas as a motto.
A gentleman will not insult me, and no man not a gentleman can insult me.
As a practical matter, what does that mean? That anyone who insults is -- by virtue of the fact that he is insulting -- unworthy of my time, attention, or serious consideration. Some people might argue that someone who's deliberately insulting you might also have a legitimate point too. Setting aside the fact that happens about as often as Lady Gaga turns down a chance to wear a weird dress, if the point is worth making, someone else will surely come along and make it as well and then I can respond to it. Once you internalize this sort of thinking, insults no longer have any impact because the very fact that someone is treating you in a deliberately insulting manner makes his opinion irrelevant.

Don't Lib Dem "Wimmin" Slap Faces Any More?
Was Liberal Democrat big cheese Lord Rennard a serial groper? Several Lib Dem ladies say he was. Rennard denies it all. He could be telling the truth – not all Lib Dem politicians are liars, drunks or expenses fiddlers. But party leader Nick Clegg is spinning like a weathercock in a gale over his role in the affair and, surprisingly, as Guido Fawkes has pointed out, motor mouth right on feminists MPs like Lynne Featherstone and Sarah Teather been conspicuous by their silence.
For me the most intriguing aspect of this grubby little whirlwind of accusation and counter accusation is that if it is true that there was a casting couch culture in the Lib Dem organisation why was there no sign of any carefully choreographed outrage from Lib Dem "wimmin" themselves – after all these are supposedly the shock troops of female emancipation…
…or don't women slap men across the face anymore in response to an unwelcome and unpleasant touch?

Stephanie Miner
Mayor Stephanie A. Miner
Stephanie A. Miner is the 53rd Mayor of the City of Syracuse. Born on April 30, 1970, she became involved in politics at an early age, stuffing envelopes for local candidates at her Grandmother Cooney's kitchen table in the Eastwood neighborhood.
She attended Syracuse University, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a B.A. in Political Science and Journalism in 1992.
After college, she worked as the Assistant Upstate Coordinator for Geraldine Ferraro for U.S. Senate and then served as Central New York Regional Representative to Gov. Mario Cuomo in 1994.
In 1999, Miner earned her J.D. from SUNY Buffalo and began working at Blitman & King, LLP as a labor lawyer, representing unions and employees.
Already deeply involved in politics, Mayor Miner became a Syracuse Common Councilor-at-Large in 2002 after winning city-wide election in 2001 when she was 31 years old. Re-elected to the Council in 2005, Mayor Miner received the most votes of any candidate on the ballot, including the incumbent Mayor. As a Councilor, she championed and helped pass legislation that gave $1 million in initial funding to Say Yes to Education, a program that provides necessary support services for Syracuse City School District students and promises free or reduced tuition to students who graduate from City high schools.
During her tenure on the Council, Mayor Miner established a reputation as a principled leader who asks tough questions. This led the Syracuse Post-Standard to endorse Mayor Miner's 2009 candidacy for Mayor, calling her "principled," "intelligent," "energetic," and a "passionate advocate."
Mayor Miner was elected on November 3, 2009 in a three-way race, receiving 50.1% of the vote. She became the first woman elected Mayor of any of the "Big 5" cities in New York State.

7th Heaven
Derby Swirl
(6 Eye)
Classic Derby Boot
The Fit Expert
Kate from our Los Angeles (Abbot Kinney) store says:
True to size, and incredibly comfortable!
More Colours
Almost 25 years ago John launched the first Angel-soled Fluevogs into the world! Since then Angels have been part of various social and fashion movements, and are often referred to as the most comfortable soles on the planet. The 7th Heaven Angel Soles add rubber to the mix, but you still get that amazing comfort that you're used to and they're still resoleable. Iconic Angel Soles that still "resist alkali, water, acid, fatigue and Satan," The Derby Swirls will turn every head along your journey. As it says on the iconic pull tab... DDFT!
The burgundy, black and brown Derby Swirls are updated ever so slightly with a custom welt, an OrthoLite foam insole and an embossed and painted angel at the heel.
The JF Tapestry Derby Swirls tell a bigger story than you think!
The green floral jacquard and black/floral Derby Swirls feature re-engineered recycled rubber soles with a rubber midsole, bonded leather welt, air pockets for extra lightness and flex grooves for comfort.
The black vegan Derby Swirls are made from high quality vegan 'leather' aka. microfibre/polyurethane and feature a 100% recycled rubber (TPR) sole.
The denim, purple and yellow suede Derby Swirls were first designed in collaboration with John's good friend and designer Anna Sui and debuted alongside her Spring/Summer 2020 Victorianna collection at New York Fashion Week! They feature soft suedes, neon laces, neon rubber soles with a rubber welt as well as an Ortholite hybrid molded insole made from 20% recycled materials.
Kate from our Los Angeles (Abbot Kinney) store says:
True to size, and incredibly comfortable!
Butter soft suede and luscious new colors!
I actually sized down a full size on these. The toe box is very generous and the suede is very soft! I would love to have these in every color! The purple are mine! 💜 They are incredibly comfortable!
the derby love
The second pair, the JF tapestry, were purchased online. Same-sized 5 men's. I usually wear a 6.5 in women's boots, but the burgundy pair fit well at a 5/7, so I went with the same size. These ones are definitely more roomy than the burgundy pair, and a half size shorter would have been better. The toe is more round, and the sole is different. They aren't quite as comfortable as the burgundy pair, but what I actually do like about these is that the sole feels more spongy when walking, which is quite great. with a thick pair of socks, I can wear these for a long time also.
The third pair I ordered online are the black floral. I was so excited to order these. Love the red laces, and they are just super fun. Again, same size 5 but another totally different fit. I know this size variation is typical now, but when ordering online it is super frustrating to not have more consistency when ordering the same model! These ones are a bit short on my larger foot, and they aren't as comfortable sole-wise as the other two pairs. Unfortunately, I wore them out already and only noticed the comfort level at that time so cannot exchange or return. Very disappointing, as I love to wear Fluevogs and have been wearing them since the 80s (gasp!).
Overall, I would recommend the Derby Swirls. They look fantastic and make a statement. It is much better to purchase Fluevogs in-person, which is only an option for me when I travel. As much as I love that I am not going to see someone else with my boots on in a city of 700,000, I would love the ease and security of buying them in-person!
J'adore !
Lorsque j'ai posé mes yeux sur eux pour la toute première fois sur le site web, j'étais enchantée par leur beauté, mais en boutique, j'ai trouvé cette version des Derby Swirl encore plus belle ; les motifs dorés parsemant la zone fleurie ajoutent un éclat de lumière intéressant. De plus, ils sont très confortables. Merci, John !

First thing's first, if you have no idea what the heck Gangam Style is, please refer to Youtube. There, now that you have been thoroughly entertained and satisfied by South Korea's finest, lets think about how on earth this got to be so popular on the (at least American) web.
Gangnam, if you didn't know, is a very wealthy and affluent region in South Korea. Holding 7% of the GDP of the nation (comparable to New York albeit a fraction of the land) Gangnam is where Hyundai, Samsung, and LG all hail from. This region, perhaps through its ties with these companies, might have an influence on the culture in ways that would be sympathetic to our American tastes. But then why is this the first K Pop single to catch on?
Well, not only does it cater to our random-comedy-tastebuds, it has a little-kid-michael-jackson-impersonator, sexy ladies, nice cars, party-hard/YOLO attitude and a freaking line-dance that looks like an imaginary horse ride into the sunset! If all of that doesn't scream America in 2012, then I have no idea what does. But really, in all seriousness this video just makes me happy, so I hope this opens some horizons into Korean and other Asian popular music in American because, damn they know how to have fun. OPPAN GANGAM STYLE! [via]
