Carter Named a NFF National Scholar-Athlete Award Semifinalist
Oct 2, 2013
DALLAS, Texas - The University of Dubuque football team's Tyson Carter has been selected as one of the best and brightest from the college gridiron, The National Football Foundation (NFF) announced today the 170 candidates for the 2013 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Awards, presented by Fidelity Investments.® The nominees also comprise the list of semifinalists for the 2013 William V. Campbell Trophy, endowed by HealthSouth, which recognizes an individual as the absolute best scholar-athlete in the nation. The 170 semifinalists represent the most ever since 2006 when the NFF increased the nomination standards to require a minimum cumulative 3.2 GPA.
Carter (Sr., long snapper, Port Elgin, Ontario Canada/Saugeen District HS) is a pred-med major who maintains a 3.9414 cumulative grade point average. He has been the Spartans long snapper for 34 consecutive games, making over 200 snaps without a mistake. This past year he was awarded the Chlapaty Science Fellowship and has been involved with a research project titled "Isolation of microRNA associated with orchid flower development" for the past year and a half with associate professor of biology, Rasika G. Mudalige-Jayawickrama.
"This was by far the most challenging molecular biology research project undertaken by an undergraduate student in my lab," added Mudalige-Jayawickrama.
This is the third consecutive year the University of Dubuque football team has been honored with a semifinalist for the NFF National Scholar-Athlete and William V. Campbell Trophy. In 2011, All-American and Gagliardi Trophy winner, Michael Zweifel was a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy. In 2012, Iowa Conference Offfensive MVP, Wyatt Hanus, was also a semifinalist for the Spartans. Carter is the lone Iowa Conference semifinalist and one of just 39 Division III selections. The University of Dubuque is the only IIAC school to have three consecutive semifinalists.
"We take great pride in the record participation by the number of schools in the NFF National Scholar-Athlete Awards program this year," said NFF Chairman Archie Manning whose sons Peyton (William V. Campbell Trophy winner) and Eli were named NFF National Scholar-Athletes in 1997 and 2003, respectively. "It is important for us to showcase that success on the football field starts with winners in the classroom and the community. This year's record-breaking number of nominations further illustrates the power of our great sport in developing the next generation of influential leaders."
The complete list of all semifinalists can be found at: National Football Foundation: Campbell Trophy
- NFF National Scholar-Athlete Awards program launched in 1959
- 170 nominations, record number since minimum GPA increased in 2006
- 3.60 Average GPA, 7 nominees with a perfect 4.0 GPA, 39 nominees with a 3.8 GPA or better
- 105 Team Captains
- 97 All-Conference Picks
- 29 Academic All-America Selections
- 21 All-America Selections
- One former NFF National High School Scholar-Athlete
- 39 Nominees from the Division III
- 20 Special Teams Players
Nominated by their schools, which are limited to one nominee each, candidates for the awards must be a senior or graduate student in their final year of eligibility, have a GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, have outstanding football ability as a first team player or significant contributor, and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship. The class is selected each year by the NFF Awards Committee, which is comprised of a nationally recognized group of media, College Football Hall of Famers and athletics administrators.
"The NFF would like to personally congratulate each of the nominees as well as their schools on this tremendous honor," said NFF President & CEO Steven J. Hatchell. "We are extremely proud to highlight each semifinalist's achievements, which show that football players can balance between academics and athletics at the highest level. There is no question that the NFF Awards Committee will have an incredibly difficult task in selecting the finalists from among this esteemed group."
The NFF Awards Committee will select up to 16 recipients, and the results will be announced via a national press release on Thursday, October 31. Each recipient will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship, and they will vie as finalists for the 2013 William V. Campbell Trophy.
Each member of the 2013 National Scholar-Athlete Class will also travel to New York City to be honored Dec. 10 during the 56th NFF Annual Awards Dinner at the Waldorf=Astoria where their accomplishments will be highlighted in front of one of the most powerful audiences in all of sports. One member of the class will also be announced live at the event as the winner of the William V. Campbell Trophy.
Named in honor of Bill Campbell, the chairman of Intuit, former player and head coach at Columbia University and the 2004 recipient of the NFF's Gold Medal, the award comes with a 25-pound bronze trophy and increases the amount of the recipient's grant by $7,000 for a total post-graduate scholarship of $25,000.
A total distribution of $300,000 in scholarships will be awarded at the NFF Annual Awards Dinner, pushing the program's all-time distributions to more than $10.4 million. Launched in 1959, the NFF scholar-athlete program became the first initiative in history to award post-graduate scholarships based on both a player's academic and athletic accomplishments.
The William V. Campbell Trophy, first awarded in 1990, adds to the program's mystique, having previously honored two Rhodes Scholars, a Rhodes Scholar finalist, two Heisman Trophy winners and five first-round NFL draft picks. In 2011, the NFF and Fidelity Investments launched a multi-year initiative between the two organizations to celebrate the scholar-athlete ideal and a joint commitment to higher education.
As part of the initiative, Fidelity became the first presenting sponsor ever in the 55-year history of the NFF National Scholar-Athlete Awards program. Fidelity also helped launch the NFF Faculty Salutes initiative, which recognizes the contributions of the faculty athletics representatives at each of the institutions with an NFF National Scholar-Athlete. As part of the initiative, the NFF will present each of the faculty representatives with a plaque and a $5,000 check from Fidelity Investments to support the academic support services for student-athletes at each school.

You are hereMagazines 1980-1989 / Memorable Moments in TV
Memorable Moments in TV
Television is the most eclectic medium in the world. On its screen, politicians -hehave like actors, actors suddenly become politicians, the tasteful is paired with the tasteless, and the real is seamlessly blended into the unreal, as sitcoms like I Love Lucy play alongside documentaries like "Harvest of Shame. "What stands out in all that diversity? Any opinion, of course, would be purely subjective, but for the record, here is one bleary-eyed watcher's list of 17 memorable moments in the medium, chosen for their significance as events of drama, history, and/or just plain muddleheadedness.
The most famous event of the 1952 presidential campaign was Richard M. Nixon's "Checkers Speech," telecast live on NBC on September 23, 1952. In it, the vicepresidential candidate defended himself against charges of using a secret campaign fund. He described his humble beginnings, his war record, his simple family life (Pat was seated near him), and his triumphs in Congress. He concluded by saying that he had received a campaign gift, a spotted cocker spaniel his children had named Checkers. "You know," Nixon intoned, "the kids, like all kids, love that dog, and I· just want to say this right now, that regardless of what they say about it, we're going to keep it." This down-home, sentimental appeal was immensely successful-after the broadcast the Republican party was swamped by calls and letters supporting the young senator-and professional politicians all over the country took note of TV's power to sway the voters with a well-staged show.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:1428:]]Not every political show won the highest ratings. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon were inaugurated in the first coast-to-coast live television transmission at noon on January 20, 1953. But that event was overshadowed by another: the birth on the previous day of Little Ricky on the I Love Lucy show. For three months, Lucy's producers had built episodes around star Lucille Ball's real-life pregnancy; by January 19, when, by coincidence, the birth of both Lucy's fictional and real babies occurred, the viewers and the press had become hooked. More than 70 percent of all television watchers that evening were tuned to the birth, which crowded the inauguration out of many newspaper headlines and cemented the popularity of the sitcom form in general and I Love Lucy in particular. The viewing audience continued to increase, and by April 1952 Lucy had become the first program in television's history to be seen in 10 million homes. The baby show made it number one in the ratings, a position it held for four out of the next six years. In the future, ailing sitcoms would pump up their ratings with similar special events-births, marriages, deaths-although never to quite the same effect.
3 "THERE IS NOTHING LIKE ... " To celebrate its 50th anniversary, the Ford Motor Company bought two hours simultaneously on CBS, NBC, and ABC for June 15, 1953, I and recruited Mary Martin, Ethel Merman, and other Broadway luminaries to present the first all-star special on network TV. Although clips were shown from such movies as The Birth of a Nation and of sporting events such as Babe Ruth's 60th homer, most viewers best remember the musical numbers performed by Merman and Martin, including "Alexander's Ragtime Band" and "There is Nothing like a Dame." The show's musical-comedy pieces, choreographed by Jerome Robbins, became models for future variety programs.
4 JULIE'S SWAN SONG. Probably the most popular entertainer on early television was Arthur Godfrey, who hosted a series of weekly TV shows between 1948 and 1959-Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts, Arthur Godfrey and His Ukelele, Arthur Godfrey Time, and The Arthur Godfrey Show--as well as a radio program each week, all (except Talent Scouts) featuring music, conversation, and a "family" of regulars. One member, young singer Julius La Rosa, became a cause celebre on October 19, 1953, when Godfrey, apparently upset that La Rosa was becoming too popular on the show, fired him on the air. Mter La Rosa had sung "I'll Take Manhattan," Godfrey noted that the singer was an Arthur Godfrey discovery and added, "That was Julie's swan song with us; he now goes out on his own, as his own star." The subsequent press furor tarnished Godfrey's Mr. Nice Guy image. His popularityand ratings-were never the same again.
Senator Joseph McCarthy was something of a master manipulator of the media, and he used television as one of his rnost effective forums for accusations. CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow was the first to take a public stand against the senator in three memorable See it Now broadcasts, on March 9, March 16, and April 6, 1954. The most severe blow to the senator's prestige, however, came in the spring of 1954. A series of Senate hearings had just begun (on April 22) to examine charges that McCarthy had tried to pressure the Army into giving preferential treatment to a member of his staff who had been drafted. In the televised hearngs McCarthy appeared pushy and insensitive, especially when he crudely tried to besmirch the reputation of a young aide to Special Army Counsel Joseph Welch, who movingly exclaimed, "Have you no sense of decency, sir? Have you no sense of decency at long last?" McCarthy was condemned by the Senate on December 2, 1954, by a vote of 67 to 22.
6 ''A REALLY BIG SHOW." For 23 years, beginning in 1948, Ed Sullivan mixed comedy, music, dance, acrobatics, and anything else he found interesting on his Sunday night variety program, The Toast of the Town (later changed to The Ed Sullivan Show). But his most famous (and most highly rated) guests were probably Elvis Presley and The Beatles. For a fee of $50,000, the 21-year-old Presley appeared on the shows of September 9, 1956, October 28, 1956, and January 6, 1957. The first show created controversy over his "lascivious posturings"; by his third appearance, when complaints had continued to build, the camera would only show him in close-ups. Years later, on February 9, 1964, Sullivan introduced The Beatles to the American public, helping to boost their popularity here, as well as earning record ratings for his show. For the next decade, rock 'n' roll acts became a staple on the series.
Before 1here was Johnny Carson there was the emotional Jack Paar, who made the late-night Tonight Show one of NBC's biggest successes from 1957 to 1%2. Paar was more unpredictable than Carson, and on February 11, 1960, the host, piqued that NBC had censored an off-color joke of his the night before, angrily chastised the network and walked off. His sidekick, Hugh Downs, was left to emcee the show, and Paar Was not coaxed back until March 7, when he attacked the press for criticizing his actions.
8 "HE'S BEEN SHOT!" Within 48 hours of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, on November 22, 1963, his accused killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, was himself murdered before the stunned eyes of millions watching live coverage on NBC. The Dallas police, trying to oblige the media, had made something of a circus of Oswald's arrest. An officer noted that the case was "cinched," displayed the "murder weapon," and said there were "apparently fifteen witnesses to the killing." To accommodate television, a late-night jail transfer of Oswald was moved to midday. At 12:21 EST on November 24, Oswald appeared between two officers in a crowded basement garage. Suddenly, a man in a hat (Jack Ruby) shot him. TV, noted one critic, was now affecting events simply by being there.
9 LIVE DEATH. The tide of public opinion was beginning to turn against the Vietnam War in early 1968. In February, the T et Offensive, a major Vietcong victory, made a mockery of U.S. claims that a U.S. victory was near. Viewers were further stunned later that year when NBC News showed a South Vietnamese police chief putting a revolver to the head of a Vietcong prisoner and pulling the trigger; the man collapsed, blood spurting from his head. Such images became a staple of nightly newscasts, dispelling most of the public's heroic notions about the war.
1 0 "THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING." The 1968 Democratic Convention, held in Chicago in late August, was the most tumultuous in years, symbolizing more than anything else the deep ideological split in the United States over the Vietnam War. A public-relations fiasco for the Democrats and Chicago, the television coverage intercut the convention hall speeches with vivid scenes of violence outside: the Chicago police fighting youthful antiwar protesters with nightsticks, tear gas, and Mace. "The whole world is watching," chanted the protesters, and Americans were infuriated by the police, frightened by the protesters, and angry with the television medium itself for forcing them, in one observer's words, "to ch~se sides."
11 "NOW LISTEN, YOU QUEER."All the excitement of the 1968 Democratic Convention did not take place on the streets. As part of the convention coverage, ABC hired archconservative William F. Buckley and liberal Gore Vidal to comment on the proceedings. The chemistry was intentionally provocative: Buckely and Vidal had been frequent antagonists, ever since their separate appearances on Jack Parr's Tonight Show in the early Sixties. At the 1968 Republican Convention –– held first that year –– the two engaged in heated debates that frequently became personal, but nothing matched their last exchange during the later Democratic confab, when the two began arguing about the attitudes and actions of the Chicago police and the antiwar demonstrators. "As far as I'm concerned," said Vidal to Buckley, "the only cryptoNazi I can think of is yourself." Buckley's retort: "Now listen, you queer. Stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I'll sock you in your goddamn face and you'll stay plastered." Moderator Howard K. Smith stepped in: "Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Let's not call names." Buckley: "Let Myra Breckenridge [an allusion to a book Vidal had written about a person who undergoes a male-to-female sex change] go back to his pornography and stop making allusions to Nazism .... I was in the infantry in the last war." Smith finally ended the proceedings by remarking, "There was a little more heat and a little less light than usual, but it was still very worth hearing."
12-HEIDI AND THE FOOTBALL GAME. The New York Jets-Oakland Raiders football match, carried live by NBC on November 17,1968, had one minute of playing time to go, with the Jets comfortably ahead. NBC cut from the promoted TV version of Heidi on schedule. The decision meant that football fans missed an incredible comeback that won the game for Oakland in the last minute. NBC was punished for this miscalculation with a flood of angry calls and letters.
13 "ONE SMALL STEP." On July 20, 1969, as some 300 million to three quarters of a billion people watched and/or heard, Neil A. Armstrong set foot on the moon, proclaiming, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." That leap was debated: the Apollo program, which culminated in the moon landing, had cost taxpayers $25 billion. Many critics likened it to the building of the Pyramidsprestigious but useless. To others, however, it was a glorious day, proving that nothing was impossible.
14 "A HUMOROUS SPOTLiGHT." On January 12, 1971, American television was changed forever by the premiere of All in the Family. Based on a British program about a bigoted father and his liberal son, the U.S. series chronicled the adventures of right-wing, blue-collar worker Archie Bunker and his family: "dinghat" wife Edith, "meathead" son-in-law Mike, and liberal daughter Gloria. The series was a groundbreaker for a number of reasons, including its treatment of such controversial subjects as birth control, homosexuality, and abortion and its use of many previously unbroadcastable words. It also dealt openly with politics, sex, and bigotry, which was unusual in television until then. Although network executives were concerned about audience reaction to the show (even preceding it with an announcement that "All in the Family. . : seeks to throw a humorous spotlight on our frailties, our prejudices, and concerns ... "), the opening episode hardly caused a murmur. By the summer, however, it was the mostwatched program on TV, proving that audiences could accept subjects previously deemed unacceptable-if they were treated in an intelligent fashion. Rather than its shock value, All in the Family (which is still running, now as Archie Bunker's Place) owed its success to its literate scripts. good ensemble acting, and believable situations.
The most compelling –– because it was real –– series since the Army-McCarthy hearings was the Senate's investigation into President Richard M. Nixon's involvement in the June 1972 break-in of the Democratic Committee's Washington offices at the Watergate apartment complex. The 1973 summer hearings, covered live on a rotating basis by the networks and rebroadcast in full by PBS in the evenings, featured a cast of tight-lipped administration officials and probing senators. The hearings' ratings grew steadily, as did the public's respect for PBS, which allowed millions of working men and women to view the hearings. In June, former Nixon counsel John Dean presented dramatic, damaging evidence. But in retrospect the most damning moment came ·on July 16, when former Nixon aide Alexander Butterfield admitted that the president had taped many of his own conversations. The tapes became the focal point of more drama in subsequent hearings as the senators tried to obtain them.
16 NIXON EXITS. By July 24, 1974, Watergate had led to formal House impeachment hearings, the first since the Civil War. Three articles of impeachment had been voted when President Nixon released a tape indicating that he had obstructed justice in the Watergate affair. On August 9-in a speech covered live by all three networks-he resigned, refusing to admit any wrongdoing. Then, in a farewell speech to his staff, Nixon asked for forgiveness; three years later, in a TV interview with David Frost, he said he had been wrongbecause he had given his enemies a "sword, which they twisted" with glee.
17 WHO SHOT J.R.? For 13 years, the highest-rated episode from a TV series was the last show of The Fugitive, seen in August 1967 by over 50 percent of the American audience. Then on November 21, 1980, Dallas, a nighttime soap opera depicting the proctivities of Texas wheelerdealers, broke that recordas well as those set by the Super Bowl, the World Series, and Roots. The despicable lead character, J.R. Ewing, had been shot in the last episode of the previous season. Throughout summer reruns an intensive publicity campaign by CBS built up interest in the assailant's identitymagazines featured cover stories, bookies took betsuntil November 21, when CBS staged a "Dallas Week," screening four episodes. The last one revealed that the culprit had been J.R.'s mistress. The episode, and the series, helped propel CBS back into the number-one spot after a two-year reign by ABC. •
A NOTE FROM TS: This article was one of my most popular, appearing first in DIVERSION, and then in newspapers like the Times-Union in Rochester, N.Y., the San Francisco Chronicle, and even the tabloid paper, The Star. I also appeared on radio's Rambling With Gambling, among others. These days, publications like Entertainment Weekly have made such "Top 10" and "Top 20" lists something of a cliche, althouh back in the early 1980s, I guess it was something of a novelty.

When I was about 10 my brother (a year and a half older) and I went into the woods near home and saw a neighbor kid of 17 or 18 who was sitting under a little tree hut we had built. It was actually on his folks' land but a long way from his house, and I didn't think he even knew it was there. He had his pants down and was stroking what to me looked like a huge joint, compared to my little weenie. I'd never even seen an erection before or pubic hair but was intrigued. A better word today would be turned on, but I didn't know that then. When he ejaculated all over, I was mesmerized. He was moaning and groaning and collapsed back against the ground. Being a real dummy, I asked him if it hurt. I'll never forget his smile — he said it was the best feeling in the world.
After that I was beating mine to death trying to get something out of it. (Yeah, right.) Anyway, a couple of years later, bingo — and I was hooked. From then on I was convinced I was one of the horniest guys on the planet. As I grew along with everything else, masturbation became a constant. I think my father knew but never mentioned it. My parents had split and my older brother was living with my mother, so I didn't get any guidance from him, although he asked me once when I was in high school if my "joint" would fit inside a toilet-paper tube. I already knew it wouldn't, but I told him I'd have to check and get back to him. Oh well, he was always asking questions but never volunteering anything.
I was having some Catholic guilt problems because it's ingrained. It was also the 1950s and a rural small town in Upstate New York — not exactly a bastion of liberalism. I had a steady girlfriend and was masturbating her regularly, but she wouldn't touch me or even allow me to take out my penis. She didn't live far from me, but I would walk home like a bow-legged cowboy who'd been kicked by a horse. The pain was intense. I'd have to work my way upstairs with every step a killer and get into bed, and by then it was too late to get off. I just hoped I'd either go to sleep or die in a hurry. I vowed I'd never get another case of "blue balls," but being moronic thinking that doing the same thing over again would have different results, I'd go right back for more the next week end. Duh! She was still a virgin when we graduated.
There are a lot of young guys on JackinWorld, so this is for them. I call it saving my bacon. When I was 12 I'd sometimes masturbate naked in front of the mirror. It was a pretty sorry sight. I hated my body. I was so skinny my older brother called me "Bird," and since my father was over 6 feet tall I knew I'd be tall and skinny. That was in the days when they ran Charles Atlas ads of a muscle-dude kicking sand in some twerp's face at the beach. That was going to be me, and I vowed to do something about it. I decided to do push-ups and wouldn't masturbate until I did — that was the reward. Ten killed me, and that didn't last long. I decided 3 were easy, so I started with 3 every day and added one more every Saturday with a goal of 50. It didn't take long for the guy in the mirror to start looking pretty good. My father was getting a pretty substantial gut, so I added stomach crunches. I was riding an old no-speeds Schwinn, and my mother and brother were living 3 miles out of town with some good huff-and-puff hills in between. It didn't take long before I was doing them sitting down, and my lower body took on some shape too.
By the time I was in high school, I had a pretty decent bod and no one shoved me around anymore. I could beat almost everybody in arm wrestling, and I noticed I was getting a lot of attention in the shower. masturbating in front of the mirror was a whole lot better and my brother stopped calling me "Bird" because he knew I'd kick ass if he did.
I should tell you about my buddy in high school. Jim was probably the best-looking guy in school — all the girls loved him. Great build, good athlete. He was the middle of eight kids, and his father was a very strict minister, so he use to like to sleep over with me. One night he mentioned he was horny — let's masturbate. Okay. So we did that, mutually masturbated, and did some body rubbing. I wanted to try anal sex but he said it hurt too much. The next time he stayed over and every night after that, he would immediately grab my joint and say, "Man, you've got a nice [penis]." So he'd masturbate me. Then he surprised the hell out of me when he said, "Let's try blowing each other," and he went down on me. I thought that was cool, but now I'm sorry I didn't reciprocate. Too much guilt and getting rid of that was like claiming the sky and flying rather then pecking around with the flock on the ground. That's when I became a human being rather than just a person.
When I was in the army, a buddy and I took a weekend pass to the beach. We hit too many bars, got tanked, and went back to our room, which was miserably hot. A small fan but no AC and the sweat was pouring off us. I said, "I need a shower." He was struggling to get out of his clothes and mumbled, "Me too." Then he added, "Give me a hand." I helped him out of his clothes, and we were both naked and sporting semi's. There are bodies and there are bodies. His was perfection, developed from hard work on the farm, not a gym. Everyone seems to have a breast fixation, even if they're the size of bowling balls; I thought that was ridiculous and was always an ass and legs man. Pubes turned me on, too, but I was never particularly interested in a guy's joint — well, unless it was a boner. I was helping him to the shower, and he said, "Looks like you're horny." I laughed. We got in there and were doing some mutual stroking, and I thought I was going to lose it when he turned around and my boner was riding the crack of his ass. We made it to the bed, grabbed some cocoa butter, and went at it. Me to him, him to me. First time for both of us, but we didn't do anything oral — that would have been queer, right? In the morning we did it again, went to the beach for a couple of hours, and went back to the room. We never got to the beach again; we even got carried away with our passion so much that we were kissing up a storm, and we did it in every position you can imagine. Hey, don't knock it 'til you've tried it — it was unbelievable. He was due for a discharge and was going home to get married, but he made me promise I'd come and see him and spend some time at his hunting cabin. The guys in our unit wondered why we didn't have more of a tan, so we told them it was cloudy. He went home and was killed by a drunk driver, but if he were here now, I'd jump in the sack with him in a heartbeat and go the whole nine yards.
When I was playing high-school football there was a kid younger than us who liked to give some of the guys on the team head. I loved that and was stupid enough to condemn him for doing it, even though I was there, too.
It took me a while to get by that hypocrisy, but passing or receiving, it's still football. I later lay awake thinking about it and would have to masturbate. I knew I'd *never* do such a thing -- but, what's he get out of it? I knew he wasn't doing it just to make me feel good, so I knew there must be some turn-on I wasn't aware of. It took me about 10 years to get the guts to try it myself, but up until then I wouldn't give myself permission to find out what it was all about. Then I kicked my ass for wasting all that time. I actually barfed the first time I tried giving a guy oral sex, not because of the physical act but because of the snake I had in my head that told me I wasn't allowed to do that. I cleaned up and apologized, and he said "No sweat, I didn't have to do it." I said, "You're wrong." I want to be free to decide for myself what I can or can't enjoy in life. Hell, just thinking I had to live up to someone else's expectations of who or what I was really stuck in my craw. So, I went down on him and was amazed that I got another erection, even though I'd already ejaculated. That led to 69, and I thought that was the very best sex I'd ever had. After that I decided I just loved sex. No hyphen to label yourself hetero, bi, homo, asexual, or mega if you're doing the dog and the houseplants, too. I decided sex isn't who you are, it's something you do — and from then on I was just sexual. If it feels good, do it! Life ain't a rehearsal.

This show is about a fictional International Criminal Court, which investigates crimes that cross international borders. I find it often touches on how the European Union has brought its member countries closer together, while at the same time it highlights the individuality of each country and its culture.
The team consists of very different characters from very different countries. Donald Southerland, a favourite Canadian actor, truly makes the show great. William Fichtner's character, Carl Hickman, is not all that different from the character he played on Prison Break, however, it works within this cast of characters and he plays it very well. The other characters are interesting, although one could argue that the cast was a bit too attractive in the first season to be considered realistic.
I do enjoy watching it. I do not find it 'addictive' in the way that other series can captivate and suck up 2 straight days of my time. But it is nice to watch a show that allows me to put it away for awhile, then come back to it later when I am missing it.
Season 2 is on Netflix now, which was recently added. I give this series an 8 out of 10.

A change of Surround Speakers
It's widely understood that the sound of surround TVs cannot compete with the excitement of a properly designed and equalised home theatre system. But great sound comes at the expense of living space…until now. The wall-hugging RX-FX surround speaker reconciles the problem by providing a convincing, enveloping timbre-consistent surround sound that places you on the edge of your seat and at the heart of the action. Discreet enough to be flush-mounted on side or rear walls, the RX-FX design will blend with the system and your décor so completely you'll wonder why you ever thought of compromise. It's also immensely flexible sonically, offering direct or diffuse sound effects at the flick of a switch.
- Flush to wall placement, with recessed termination.
- Drivers match with other Rx loudspeakers for consistent timbre and consistency.
- Dual di-pole/ bi-pole modes easily selected by switch operation.
- New C-CAM® tweeter design with damped rear chamber, providing improved clarity and wider operating range to make better use of HD audio formats
- Single 6" C-CAM® bass/mid-range driver incorporating RST® technology, for better damping and improved mid-range clarity.
- Selected premium quality wood veneers or high gloss piano finishes.
- Acoustically matched with all other Rx speakers for excellent imaging and consistency of timbre in surround applications.

Hey guys it's Sam and after a long, postless week of waking up early and preparing for school, I can kick back on my first Friday and deliver you the daily juice–daily gaming juice, that is. Yessiree, Game n Vote is getting picked up, slapped several times, and put back on Sammwak! Today, we put our hands down and ball them into fists as we enter the tournament of one of Addicting Games' most…well, addicting games (also, at 94%, one of the most acclaimed), Electric Man 2.
Electric Man 2HS: The Tournament of Voltagen (much more commonly abbreviated as Electric Man 2, or also EM2), rated Tween+, started off just as "some fighting game" back in the start of 2007. But as time went, the game currently has almost twenty million plays, and I don't know if that's just in the country, or even around the world. (Speaking of EM2, why is it number two if we never knew number one?) The storyline follows the namesake tournament of Voltagen, described at the start screen of the game as:
"…where combat teams of varying numbers compete against each other to determine the most powerful being in the stick man universe. The current champion has never been beaten. Any combination of martial arts, street fighting, and superhuman powers can be used to wipe out your opponents. Let the games begin…"
You play a stick man with tushie-kicking powers, as well as an electric glow engulfing him (the color can be adjusted). The challenges range from the robotic warriors, the Replicants, to the disabled but able, the Blind, and everyone in between. I enjoy this game merely because it captures every aspect possible in an online fighting game. You have a good time fighting, not too much of a challenge comes up, and you even get to finish opponents in style with slow-mo moves. What more could you ask for?
🙂 – Good fact
😀 – Very good fact
– "Meh, I can deal with it" fact
😦 – Bad fact
;( – Very bad fact
- Amazing online fighting capture 🙂
- Even if they are stick men, the visuals are top-dog. 🙂
- Very successful and precise fighting. 🙂
- Slow-mo moves are the perfect touch to finishing opponents. Or just being cool. 😀
- Opponents do put up a precise amount of challenges. 🙂
- Lots of range in the styles of opponents. (you don't face the same style of person every time…unless they get harder.) 😀
- Helpful, but short, tutorial. 🙂
- Impressive move lists. 😀
- Very short time to wait for the game to come up. 😀
- Only single-player; impossible to brawl against your friends. ;(
- No free play, or free-fight, or whatever. You're always in the competition, even if you want to take it easy. ;(
- Even on easy, the challenge gets a little too hard. Only the master of the universe comes out alive on Pro. 😦
- Not much is known about the game's background.
The game's one of Addicting Games' darlings, and that is a fact, but the game simply does not live up to the perfect expectations. Nobody's perfect, and same rule for games. But Electric Man 2 would've gotten more hits than "David after the Dentist" if it could've mended the holes it made.
Gameplay (do the controls turn out nifty?): A (5 points)
Entertainment (will the game keep you glued to your seat?): A- (4 points)
Smarts (does it know where it's going, in terms of intelligence?): B+ (3 points)
AI (are the opponents perfect, just right, or plain cheap?): B (3 points)
Style (does the game amount to eye candy?): A- (4 points)
Final score: 19 out of 25
Recommendation: 4 out of 5 (near-perfect chance)
– Positive messages – Actually, there is one message that usual players don't even think about learning: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."
– Good role models – You do stand-up? Because you're making me blow an intestine…That wasn't funny? Anyways, there's probably only one role model in this game, and that's Electric Man; every girl's dream soul mate, a guy who can stand up for himself even if he has to fist-fly, a guy who always keeps brawling for more in the end, and one that stands up after defeat (that is Sagat's idea of a strong fighter).
– Violence – Oh, come on! It's a fighting game; that's what violence was built for! Sure you're expecting why I didn't give it five bombs out of five. The only reason I took one off is that the violence was…well, violent, but it wasn't actually, in a way, bloody.
I recommend this game to anyone who wants a good fighting game to spend their day with. Apparently, words with links in them are the new hot stuff; URLs are for chumps. So go here, here, or if you're extra-picky today, here, to play the game. Can you beat the boss and become the new champion? Or will the only person getting beat is you, into coleslaw like you knead your dough?
Happy fighting.
So you have determined your strength and returned to your base. Now to answer some questions…
Now, the only thing you have to do is check back for more Game n Votes right here on Sammwak, as well as the other things I put up here!
Sincerely yours,

Yup, I know it's winter now and that Fall has passed, but I hope you'll indulge me with these last photos. 2010 just whizzed by too quickly for me to process properly and I got behind. Only in the last week have I accepted that the snow is real, and that the holidays had not come early. I thought there was some kind of time vortex that I may have fallen into, but alas, the speed at which time flies is just how life is. I hope to be better at savoring life's bits this year! Wishing you a beautiful 2011.

hi Booger, not sure if I'll have it, it was several PCs ago, but it was based on the old klingon knife anyway.
Long time no talk. Got a question, do you still have pics of the knife fighter from all those years ago. I seem to have lost mine in one of my many crashes over the years and would like to rebuild a few of my more favorite files. I looked for the thread, but I'm guessing it got lost a longtime ago. If you do, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

When Woody Allen outstretches his hand in the direction of irony, his filmmaking goes fatally, abysmally wrong. In the dreadful You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, a failed novelist played by Josh Brolin steals a manuscript by an unknown first-time author presumed to be deceased, presents the work as his own, and then learns, as the novel has gone to press, that the supposedly dead writer in fact lies comatose, with an excellent chance for complete recovery. William Sydney Porter might have blushed at the coy cheapness, yet Allen handled the twists and turns with an economy of movement, a glide. In Stranger, however, the stolen novel was but one thread in a movie with at least three narratives overlapping. In Irrational Man, a philosophy professor embarks on murder as a pastime, and the film, which has no distractions from its central story, proceeds at a glacial pace through the inspiration for killing, the extensive plotting from preparations to stalking the victim, and the equally extensive unraveling of the jaded academic's "perfect" crime.
Irrational Man belongs to the genus of Allen films where one finds Match Point, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, the deplorable Scoop, and the aforementioned Tall Dark Stranger, as well as such debacles from the 1990s as Celebrity, Sweet & Lowdown, Shadows & Fog, and the positively grating Mighty Aphrodite: that is to say, at the very bottom of the trash heap. Even so, until Irrational Man, I would never have described an Allen film as boring. But this one bores: it is monotonous and one-note throughout, a fault exemplified by the director's incessant soundtrack cues to Ramsey Lewis's distastefully jivey misinterpretation of the gospel anthem "Wade in the Water." What exactly, in Allen's mind, links an African-American spiritual to a scenario of a desperately overweight white man committing homicide? And I've also never heard the word "Bullshit!" bandied about so freely in an Allen film – it's as if the actors were expressing their true feelings about his script.
Even more damning than all of the above, Irrational Man revives Allen's use of voice-over: Voice-over that explains every single, solitary thing in front of our eyes. This technique completely killed Vicky Cristina Barcelona, a movie that might have skirted by on the charms of Bardem, Cruz, the scenery were it not for Christopher Evan Welch's booming baritone gunning everything down. Zak Orth did the same for the much lesser You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, leaving almost no breathing room amidst its squalid vignettes of contemporary London. (That said, a few of the actors did good work: Gemma Jones succeeded at creating a thoroughly and believably annoying eccentric mother, especially in the scene where her daughter berates her, yet Jones holds fast to her quixotic beliefs; Anna Friel had a momentarily invigorating cameo as a struggling painter about to hit it big and the underused Pauline Collins a pleasant one as a cheerful psychic.)
In Irrational Man, Emma Stone and Joaquin Phoenix take turns telling us – the poor dupes in the audience who simply could not deduce anything of our own accord – precisely what their characters are thinking or feeling in moments when their body language, their eyes, their faces would most certainly have conveyed what Allen's overly explicit writing renders idiotic. I balk before the phrase "literary sensibility," because that isn't what Allen possesses. There's nothing insightful or poetic in these explanatory prattles. In one scene, Stone stands in front of a majestic tree as she observes at a distance Phoenix on the shore. She looks lovely, her red locks and pale creaminess offset by the dark oak behind her. The cinematographer Darius Khondji achieves an auspiciously primeval look in this shot, and there are sounds of the waves lapping, but Allen destroys nature's supremacy by his insistence on a voice track of Stone reciting what goes on in her mind as she watches her philosophy professor. Scenes that demand to be played out in silence are read to us. Allen's voice-over dependency reaches its nadir when Stone picks up Phoenix's copy of Crime and Punishment; the camera duly records his handwriting on a blank page in the back – the name of the murder victim and "the banality of evil," as Stone's voice states, as if we are blind, that the book contains "a quote from Hannah Arendt."
I cannot quite believe that Allen regards his core audience as a pack of intellectual failures, but I can't dispute the evidence either. As in Match Point, Allen shovels on Dostoyevsky references to absolutely no illuminating effect.
When it was announced in early 2014 that Allen was making a film about a philosophy professor who has an affair with one of his students and somehow becomes embroiled in murder, I expected a much angrier work than the result. I thought the winter contretemps of Dylan Farrow's smarmy and gleeful New York Times tirade about the morals of her former stepfather would sneak into the DNA of this film. Yet there's no fire, no rage in Irrational Man. The movie lacks any particular reason for being. Part of the joy in watching Allen's good films stems from the way his variations on the same old thing will spin out into new modes of expression; throughout Midnight in Paris and the operatic sequences of To Rome With Love, Allen seemed to be tapping into the nightshade beauty of dream logic. In Irrational Man, when Stone's supposedly free-thinking college student declares, "I guess I'm not as cutting edge as I thought," I felt the creak of Allen's mechanics grinding down to the nub. And when Stone, who was note perfect as the winsome clairvoyant in Magic in the Moonlight, has to switch from being a giddy philosophy major to personifying this film's stance of High Moral Reason, the curtain rises on her limitations as an actress, and her performance becomes painfully embarrassing. (The director further undermines his leading lady via character-inappropriate product placement. Early on, Stone nibbles a Nestlé Crunch; later, she drinks Coca-Cola. Leaving aside the question of whether Allen's production company needs these kickbacks, Stone's Jill doesn't come across as someone who feasts on sugared-up corporate swill; she's more like a Raw Revolution and Arden's Garden kind of gal.)
Why, in a narrative about a murderer who believes he's performing a public service by killing, is Allen's version of High Moral Reason at all necessary? Although Phoenix's victim happens to be a judge on the wrong side of a ruling in a child custody case, there's nothing in Irrational Man that suggests the Farrows. If the Farrow women saw – and resented – aspects of themselves in Blue Jasmine, then this torpid new film may set their minds at ease: after 4 fluid pictures in a row, which cumulatively suggested a freer disposition for Allen, Irrational Man confirms that the writer-director can still make something completely rigid and control-freak awful.
Allen could take a few storytelling lessons from John Turturro. I loved their work together last year in Fading Gigolo, and Allen's supporting turn as a pimp who has to defend himself in front of an Orthodox tribunal proved that he still has impeccable timing as an actor. Gigolo's charm and power, much like in Romance & Cigarettes, drew from Turturro's innate refusal to underline. (That and the bewitching use of Gene Ammons on the soundtrack.)
Darius Khondji's photography isn't as glorious here as his previous collaborations with Allen (nothing has yet surpassed the visual splendor of the great Anything Else). Nonetheless, there are a handful of wide-angle shots that beguile, mostly in the sequences of Stone and Phoenix at an amusement park, strolling across a neon-lit nightscape of ferris wheels and fun rides, followed by her dazzling entrance into a hall of mirrors, light bulbs radiating out in every direction from her slim figure in the center of the frame. The leads boxed in by swirling extras after a chamber music recital in a warmly lit theatre also attains a certain grandeur.
There's at least one other problem with Irrational Man, a major one: the mumbly Joaquin Phoenix is more or less a disaster in the title role. He's never been a good actor. His narrow range was used effectively in Buffalo Soldiers; he still had handsomeness then, and it was understandable why the ingénue Anna Paquin and the lonely military wife Elizabeth McGovern wanted to go to bed with him. By the time of James Gray's worthless Two Lovers, however, Phoenix had lost his looks and whatever spark may have been inside him. It was unbelievable that his prepossessing lady-friends (Gwyneth Paltrow and Vinessa Shaw) were impervious to what a willfully obtuse dissembler and emotional schnorrer Phoenix's Lenny amounted to. Gray's film was a wish-fulfillment fantasy for slow-witted narcissistic creeps: the pudgy, vegetative Phoenix seduced both women and gave a performance I had seen somewhere before; by the time of the restaurant scene when Elias Koteas, in flawless Brooklynese, informs Lenny "In truuffff, ya remind me uh my son," I knew where. From Hi, Mom! to Taxi Driver, Phoenix's charade upchucked early De Niro.
In Irrational Man, Phoenix, trying on Brando mannerisms, is so fat he looks pregnant. At first I thought the costumer might have propped a pillow under his shirt, yet Allen later has Phoenix loaf around bare-chested for what seems an eternity, long enough to be impaled by his grotesque, quivering mound of protruding belly flesh, a sight even more repellant than Josh Brolin's unbuttoned flab in You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. I didn't believe it when the faun-like Frieda Pinto fell for Brolin; here, when both Emma Stone and Parker Posey (who has aged to resemble Verna Bloom, though she lacks Bloom's fine wit and vocal shading) are both desperate for intercourse with Phoenix's putrid, Scotch-swilling burn-out, Irrational Man induces queasiness. The couplings in this movie have a disgusting quality to them, something that exceeds mere physical revulsion. Is it the emptiness – the absence of anything to respond to beyond the sickening improbabilities? Thirty years ago, Allen nearly did me in with his cruel smashing of Mia Farrow's dream in The Purple Rose of Cairo. I never imagined then he would make anything as limp as Irrational Man, a murder movie that's curiously afraid of brutality. – N.P. Thompson

One day finished, three to go!
Today my students took Part 1 of the English Language Arts section of the California Standards Test (CST). And I thought CST stood for something a little more creative!
Bless their hearts! Those little sweeties worked for over two hours--right through recess! Our test is untimed, so they sat and sat and sat. They annotated, underlined and analyzed. They did their best.
Part 1 is now history! (Our test has two parts of English Language Arts and two parts of Math.)
For the moment, the scores aren't my focus. I know that I sat and watched them TRY! And as some students finished, they did their best to stay quiet while the others continued to work. It was as if they had saved up some extra goodness and stamina and put it all into play today. It was just an amazing sight.
I have some super smart kiddos and many that really struggle. But today, you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. My heart was bursting!
This morning, we will do it all over again... Part 2 awaits!

About the Commencement Ceremony
The Academic ProcessionAn academic procession whose roots reach back into the earliest days of the oldest colleges and universities opened our commencement ceremony today. Representatives of each school and department within Cameron University marched together, preceded by their respective organizational banners, garbed in academic regalia which distinguishes them from their colleagues in other fields of learning.
Like many of our other traditions, the wearing of distinctive regalia began in England. There, in the second half of the 14th Century, the statutes of certain colleges prescribed the wearing of a long gown by faculty and students. Over time, distinctive colors were adopted by each discipline to distinguish them from their colleagues.
Several American universities established of a suitable code of academic dress for this nation. This code, with modifications made in 1959, remains in force. The costumes, colors, trimmings, and patterns you see are all traditional, and reflect both the degree and field of learning.
The bachelor's gown, designed to be worn closed, has pointed sleeves. The master's gown, which may be worn open or closed, has an oblong, open sleeve which hangs down in traditional manner. The doctor's gown has bell-shaped sleeves. It may be worn open or closed.
Bachelor's and master's gowns are untrimmed. The facing and three bars across the sleeves of the doctor's gowns are generally velvet and are either black or coincide with the color of the edging of the hood. The colors you see in the hoods and gowns represent the various fields in which the degrees were earned.
The hoods, which differ in length for the three degrees, are lined with the official colors of the university or college conferring the degree, usually with one color forming a chevron pattern over the other. Hoods are edged and bound with velvet of the color appropriate for the degree. Colors and corresponding fields of study are:
Mortarboards are the most common headgear. The tassel, worn on the left of the cap, may be gold if the holder has a doctor's degree. The Chair of Faculty Senate leads the procession. The Chair carries the mace to symbolize the authority of the faculty in academic matters and the practice of shared governance within the university.
During the Middle Ages, the wood mace clad in metal was an effective weapon in battle. As newer and more powerful arms were developed, its military significance diminished and it was transformed into a symbol of authority.
The earliest ceremonial maces were borne by bodyguards of the 12th Century English and French kings. By the end of the 16th Century, they were used widely by officials of English cities and towns. Today, the use of the ceremonial mace is found in the British Houses of Parliament and is carried before ecclesiastical dignitaries and in university ceremonies.
Cameron's mace was designed and created in 1981 by Benson Warren, a member of the Art Department faculty. It is cast in bronze and displays in bas relief the three peaks of the Wichita Mountains from the university's official seal. The Faculty Senate Chair has carried it in the academic procession at each university function since its adoption.
Recognition of Honor Graduates
Graduating baccalaureate and associate degree candidates with superior academic records are accorded special recognition by the university. A student who has achieved a cumulative grade point average of 4.00 graduates "summa cum laude," one whose cumulative grade point average is less than 4.00 but is 3.80 or above graduates "magna cum laude," and one whose cumulative grade point average is between 3.60 and 3.80 graduates "cum laude." Degree candidates with such honors are identified in the list of candidates with asterisks as follows:
*** summa cum laude
List of Commencement Candidates
Membership in The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is open to undergraduate students in all academic disciplines who rank in the upper ten percent of their graduating class and have an overall grade point average of 3.7 or higher. Graduating seniors who are members of Phi Kappa Phi may be identified by the white ribbon worn on the commencement robe. Faculty and staff who are Phi Kappa Phi members are wearing the society's official medallion.
Students, faculty, and staff which are members of the many discipline-specific honor societies are identified in a similar fashion.

The interesting place to see is Baturaden, located 15 km north of Purwokerto. Baturaden is a classical highland country in the foot of Gunung Slamet volcano. Central Java's outstanding resort is approximately 14 km north of Purwokerto. It occupies a fine site on the slope of Mount Slamet, at an elevation of 650 m above sea level.

The ambiance created by their music wasn't just the result of being highly-trained - they had the grace to guide us through the music selection process, and played with romantic flair during suitable moments all night. We were so pleased with them, we announced their group name before our guests. Everyone should have the opportunity to hire them for occasions that really make history.

DELAND — A Volusia County circuit court jury deliberated just over an hour Friday before finding Rickey Jack Lusko guilty of the first-degree murder of 2-month- old Jessica Ann Lang.
Because of an agreement by the attorneys, Lusko will not receive the death penalty. After assistant state attorney Peter Marshall agreed not to seek the death penalty, Lusko's attorney, assistant public defender Howard Pearl, agreed to try the case in front of six jurors instead of the usual 12.
