Last week, we tabbed Chicago Bears linebacker Jon Bostic as one of 10 rookies ready to surprise this season.
Bostic received a surprise of his own Wednesday morning.
Shaking my head moment. Nfl fines jon bostic 21k for his clean hit against the chargers.â Lance Briggs (@LanceBriggs) August 21, 2013
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport confirmed that Bostic was fined $21,000 for a hit the rookie made while playing last week against the San Diego Chargers. Rapoport said officials believe Bostic lowered his head against a defenseless player, which is a rule violation.
The hit came during the third quarter of Chicago's 33-28 preseason win over San Diego, when Bostic dropped the hammer on second-year Chargers wide receiver Mike Willie. The hit forced an incompletion and set the Bears' sideline on fire.
A replay of the tackle shows some helmet-to-helmet contact, but Bostic wraps his arms and delivers a tackle that officials didn't flag. The league clearly believes the play warranted a penalty.
"Bostic's going to square you up, form tackle you and make you remember," ESPN's Trent Dilfer remarked.
"Kind of looked Lance Briggs-esque," defensive end Corey Wootton told Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. "Everyone was saying, 'That's mini Lance over there.' It was a heck of a hit by him. He has been having a great preseason. He's been great so far."
The league has yet to confirm the fine, but if it sticks, it represents more than 5 percent of Bostic's $405,000 base salary.The "Around The League Podcast" is now available on iTunes! Click here to listen and subscribe.

Disgraced Penn State football coach Joe Paterno will forever be immortalized in a new movie ... and by a really good actor ... because the man who will bring his story to life, is reportedly Al Pacino.
The Academy-Award-winning actor attached himself to the new film -- based on the New York Times Bestselling book "Paterno," according to reports.
The film is still in the early stages of development ... but according to the report the film will be shopped around town early next week.

Palaeontologists identify what is likely to be the oldest known dinosaur specimen, patching a 10-15-million-year hole in dinosaurs' evolutionary history.
It walked on two legs, measured 2-3m in length with a large tail and weighed between 20 and 60kg. The find suggests that many millions of years passed between dinosaurs' first members and their dominance on land.
"It fills a gap between what we previously knew to be the oldest dinosaurs and their other closest relatives," report co-author Paul Barrett, of the Natural History Museum in London, told BBC News. The find shores up the idea that dinosaurs evolved on the southern parts of the supercontinent Pangaea. "There was this big gap in the fossil record where dinosaurs should've been present and this fossil neatly fills that gap." The early evolution of dinosaurs is difficult to unpick, as a rich variety of reptiles were proliferating at the time - and some may even have independently evolved characteristics that are associated with dinosaurs.
It now appears that those creatures shared the southern part of the supercontinent Pangaea - now South America, Africa, Antarctica and Australia - with N parringtoni. "Those animals were the earliest of this group that led up toward dinosaurs," explained Dr. Barrett. "Now this takes dinosaurs back to the right kind of time when those two groups would have split apart from each other." As it closes that evolutionary gap, it shows that dinosaurs did not start out as dominant as they later became. "Dinosaurs start out as a very insignificant group of reptiles - all relatively small animals, relatively rare in comparison with other reptile groups - and it's only a bit later in their history that they suddenly explode and take over as the dominant forms of life for nearly 100 million years" - Barrett said.

At last, budget-conscious bookies have an e-reader.
Kobo's e-Reader Touch Edition hit shelves June 10 and at $129.99, it's the cheapest touchscreen e-reader (besting Barnes & Noble's Nook by $10), and the smallest and lightest to boot.
Early reviews suggest the Canadian e-book retailer is vying for the No. 3 spot in e-readers, behind Amazon's Kindle and Barnes & Noble's Nook.
The paperback-sized eReader Touch (Kobo says it's designed to fit in a jeans pocket) has a clean, simple design – mostly screen with only one physical button. It uses e-ink, like a Kindle; can be read in bright light; and best of all, works like a touchscreen so readers can turn a page with the swipe of a finger.
The eReader Touch has 32 GB of storage, a micro-USB port for charging, and a battery life of up to one month, according to Kobo. It offers wireless access, but no 3G.
And at just 7.05 ounces (0.44 pounds), Kobo's new e-reader is 0.33 ounces lighter than the second-generation Nook and 1.45 ounces lighter than the third-generation Kindle, "a noticeable difference," writes PC World.
For now, Kobo's eReader Touch is available at Borders, Best Buy, and Walmart.
So far, reviewers have (mostly) raved.
"The Kobo e-Reader Touch Edition is an excellent and easy to use device," writes Publishers Weekly. It lauded the e-reader's "clean, simple design," e-ink screen, and extended battery life, but said Kobo's page loading speed and clarity of graphics leave room for improvement.
"While Kobo claims the device is more powerful than its older version, it can still feel a bit underpowered and at times there's a bit of lag bringing up titles – especially graphic heavy works like comics – and while navigating online at the Kobo e-book store.... [W]hile the device's ability to display photos and graphic work like comics, isn't bad, it's still an e-ink device and graphics could be better."
On the technical front, PC World says the new Kobo reader offers excellent value, though it's still a step behind its top competitors. "It's rare to find an inexpensive product that also introduces innovation into its category," writes PC World. "And yet that's exactly what Kobo Books' Kobo eReader Touch Edition does…. The Kobo eReader Touch Edition lacks the finesse of the Nook and the Amazon Kindle Wi-Fi, but it still has much to offer value-conscious book lovers."
More good news for bibliophiles on a budget: Kobo's e-reader is propelling e-book prices on a downward trend, with some analysts saying e-reader prices could be as low as $99 or even $50 by year's end.
"We'll see $99 e-readers from the major players by the holidays, if not sooner," market intelligence company International Data Corporation's Tom Mainelli told PC World.
Allen Weiner, of information tech research company Gartner, predicts prices will plummet further: "Two things make sense: one is that the price drops to around the $50 mark and is marketed to those whose only aim is to read trade fiction and the like (perhaps an older demographic). Second, is [e-readers] are given away by book publishers to customers who sign up for book clubs that carry a monthly purchase commitment," Mr. Weiner wrote in a recent blog post.
Right now, Kobo's is the cheapest touchscreen reader (its earlier edition is now available for $99), and Crunch Gear calls it the perfect choice for an e-reading purist. "It's a close race, but if you're just going to be using this device for plain old reading, the Kobo is in my opinion the best bet right now," advises Crunch Gear. "[T]he totally uncluttered and ultra-simple operation of the Kobo eReader Touch Edition makes it a perfectly good choice for an e-reading novice or purist."

Flic En Flac Travel Guide
Mauritius sunrise © Smpadte
Once a small fishing village, Flic en Flac has grown to become one of the hottest tourist spots in Mauritius. Located on the west coast of the island and linked by road to Port Louis, the town's long and beautiful white sand beach is protected by a lagoon that makes it perfect for watersports like waterskiing and scuba diving, and there are great dive sites including caves and wrecks nearby. Accommodation in Flic en Flac caters for all budgets with a good selection of self-catering accommodation and some stunning luxury hotels. There is a golf course, a casino and a dive centre. This is a sprawling, highly developed resort and not a deserted beach paradise, but there is still plenty of beauty on offer and the extensive amenities are attractive to some travellers.
Tourists will find plenty of little souvenir shops and stalls along the beach and there is a big supermarket for self-caterers. Many hotels have their own shops. There is also a pharmacy, an internet cafe and a shopping centre.
There is a large selection of restaurants in and around Flic en Flac, with some impressive high-end hotel restaurants and lots of cheaper options for budget travellers.
Flic en Flac is one of Mauritius's most developed and popular resort areas and the nightlife is more exciting than at most of the smaller, more secluded resorts. There are a number of popular bars and even a casino, many of the hotels have their own clubs, and Port Louis is just a 30-minute drive away. However, Flic en Flac is not yet as big a party resort as Grand Baie and those in search of a pumping holiday clubbing scene may still be disappointed.
Flic en Flac is great for lovers of watersports and visitors will find that it is possible to try most fun water activities along the stretch of beach, including waterskiing, boating, fishing and diving. Although Flic en Flac was once a great snorkelling destination, the coral reef has seriously degraded over the years; however, it is still a good scuba diving destination. There are lots of fun land activities too, like volleyball and tennis. The long beach is perfect for walks and the protected lagoon area ensures peaceful and safe swimming conditions.
On weekends the beach can become a bit crowded and dirty.
Things to see in Flic En Flac
Casela Park
Home to nearly 150 species of birds, including ostriches and flamingos, Casela Park is a paradise for birdwatching in…

While Sprint has announced they would be adding two Windows Phone 8 devices to their lineup this summer, they were rather vague as to which Windows Phones. Sprint did say HTC and Samsung would be the manufacturers but could it be the HTC 8X and Samsung ATIV S?
Today at CES 2013 Sprint tried to shed a little light on the subject but left us with more questions than answers. Ryan Sullivan, Sprint's Director of Device Delivery, said that the wireless provider will introduce "current" Windows Phone 8 devices. Okay, so what does current mean?
Sullivan added,
"We're working for current product launches, and not necessarily to launch on six-month-old hardware. We're trying to work with Microsoft to make sure what we deliver is very high quality. The platform integration and the services that we want to bring aren't the only things we want to make fresh."
So that would count out the current crop of Windows Phone 8 devices, right? Does this mean a slightly re-tooled, existing Windows Phone device from Samsung or HTC. Or are we looking at two completely new Windows Phones?
Hopefully as summer draws closer Sprint will pull things into better focus.

The Decline and Fall of Assorted Empires
The bubbles respresent "the evolution of the top 4 maritime empires of the XIX and XX centuries by [areal] extent"; hence Britain's loss of Canada looks like a more significant bursting of the imperial bubble than its loss of India, even though India is obviously a far more important place than Canada.

Why doesn't Pakistan become independent until ~1957, while India does in 1949? Also, why do they show Cuba becoming independent of Spain so early?
- November 23, 2009 at 12:36 AM
And why at the end are Spain and Portugal left so large - what are they defining as their "empires"? The Canaries, Azores and Madeira? I don't think they count as dependencies.

lemur - Pakistan was a Dominion until 1956 - de facto independent, and 1947 would probably be a better date for marking its severing from British imperial rule. As for Cuba: good question.
Roy - the circles seem to include the homelands. Which is almost all that's left of any of them by the 21st century.

Wow, didn't realize Angola and Mozambique were so large. Meanwhile, the big red blob kept expanding up until WWI.

- Japan data: Another slap from the consumer
- by Michael Kitchen

Aside from shockingly weak consumer spending as the shadow of the consumption-tax hike still looms, the first batch of Japanese data out this morning has little in the way of surprises.
Spending by households of two of more people plunged by a price-adjusted 8% in May compared to a year earlier, even sharper than April's 4.6% fall, and confounding expectations for moderation to a 2% decrease, according to a Wall Street Journal survey of economists.
Hosing expenditure led the retreat in spending, tumbling more than 25%, followed by the "furniture & household utensils" category.
As for the other numbers, Japan's May core consumer price index (which omits fresh-food prices, seen as too volatile for the data set) was up 3.4% from a year earlier, identical to the consensus projection in the Wall Street Journal poll and just a bit above a revised 3.2% gain in April.
It was the same story for the June month-to-date result for metropolitan Tokyo, a leading indicator for the national trend, which rose 2.8% — again, matching the analysts' consensus, as well as the previous month's read.
That both these rates remains above the 2% central-bank target should be a good thing, and as Reuters noted, it was the higher core inflation result since April 1982. But as a Dow Jones Newswires report notes, the core price gain was only 1.4% if the effects of the consumption tax are stripped out.
Rounding out the party was the unemployment rate, which eased to 3.5% from April's 3.6%. Economists had expected no change from last month.
In any case, the market reaction to the results was … crickets. The yen is unchanged from its pre-data level, with the dollar buying ¥101.65.
Meanwhile, May retail sales are due out shortly.
[NOTE: This post is updated to correct for a revision to the April core CPI, which was up 3.2% from a year earlier]

While data out 20 minutes earlier showed a sharp fall for consumer spending, the situation last month doesn't appear to have been so dire for the retailers.
May retail sales data show a drop of just 0.4%, easing off of a revised 4.3% pullback in April as the consumption-tax hike arrived, and trouncing an average forecast for a 1.8% decrease, according to a Reuters survey.
The large-scale retailers had a slightly rougher time, their sales retreating 1.2% on a same-store basis, though still a significant improvement from April's revised 6.7% fall.
As with the earlier statistics, the yen is unmoved (still at ¥101.65) and Singapore-traded Nikkei Average futures are quoted down 0.2%, just as they were ahead of the numbers.

As the week winds down, we find the Nikkei Average wading into shallow losses, as investors trade off of mixed domestic data, a slim overnight pullback on Wall Street and a slightly stronger Japanese yen.
The benchmark is currently down 0.1%, with the broader Topix flat, as the dollar buys ¥101.61 yen compared to ¥101.83 about 24 hours earlier.
Some of the techs and industrials are fronting the weakness, with Renesas down 3.6%, Tokyo Electron down 1.4%, Kawasaki Heavy down 1.8%, and Sony off 1% after its Sony Pictures Television unit announced the purchase of U.K. cable-and-satellite network CSC Media.
But there's upside in these sectors too, with TDK, Hitachi and Nidec all 0.5% higher, and Toshiba up 0.6% to extend its gains earlier this week after ditching plans to buy the power-grid business of France's Alstom from acquirer General Electric.
Konica Minolta is flat, getting little in the way of help from a Nikkei business daily report that the company will post a 50% jump in its April-June operating profit.
Auto stocks are mixed, with Toyota up 0.1%, Nissan down 0.4%, Honda down 0.1%, and Mitsubishi Motors up 0.3% as a separate Nikkei report says the company will soon start building sedans for Fiat Chrysler to sell in Asian markets.
And a less-than-expected pullback in May retail sales has left the sector's shares mixed as well, with J. Front up 0.7%, Fast Retailing down 0.5%, Takashimaya up 0.2%, and Aeon down 0.2%.

While Tokyo and Seoul trend lower in early trading, Sydney is moving higher, with the ASX 200 up 0.2% on gains for commodity prices.
Of particular help for the Australian mining sector this morning is a sharp gain for iron-ore prices, currently sitting around $95.30 per metric ton. The resulting advance for the iron miners varies, with Fortescue Metals up 2.7%, BC Iron up 0.9% and Atlas Iron up 0.3% (though Mount Gibson Iron is down 2.4%, pulling back from recent gains).
As for the diversified senior miners, BHP Billiton is up 0.2%, and rival Rio Tinto is up 0.6%.
The standout gainer is Paladin Energy, rising 3.4% after providing an upbeat update on its Michelin uranium deposit in Canada's Labrador region.
Of course it's not all smiles and handshakes for the mining shares, with Kingsgate down 1.1%, St. Barbara down 2.5% and Sydney-listed shares of Canada's Alacer losing 2.6%, after Comex gold futures snapped their win streak overnight in New York.
In the airline space, meanwhile, shares of both Qantas and Virgin Australia are unchanged as Sydney Airport suffers a power outage at its T2 domestic terminal, disrupting flights. All the same, shares of Sydney Airport itself are up 0.1%.

Hong Kong stocks are trying to stay above the water after scoring a solid 1.5% gain the previous day, with the Hang Seng Index trading flat at the start of Friday trading.
Over on the Chinese mainland, however, Shanghai stocks are pulling back from their weekly high hit in Thursday's session, with the Shanghai Composite Index retreating 0.5%.
Casino stocks are extending their recent gains, as investors appear relieved after Macau reportedly clarified that it only told casinos to stop adding new UnionPay card terminals, rather than requiring gaming houses to remove all terminals, as originally reported. Previous media accounts had the city's authority ordering all jewelry stores and pawn shops within casinos to remove UnionPay payment card terminals, so as to curb illegal-money transfers from the mainland to one of the world's largest gambling hubs.
Among the sector's top gainers, Melco Crown Entertainment is climbing 1.6%, and MGM China Holdings is rising 1.2%.
Banks are mixed. While BOC Hong Kong is rising 0.7%, and Bank of China is adding 0.3%, while Agricultral Bank of China and China Construction Bank Corp. are falling 0.6% and 0.3%, respectively.
Shares of Standard Chartered are down 3.8%, though off their opening lows, after the bank issued a profit warning.

- China data: Slowdown surfaces in profit numbers
- by Michael Kitchen
- Add a Comment
Chinese data are out on overall earnings at the nation's largest industrial corporations, with growth still strong but slowing.
For May, profit was up 8.9% from a year earlier, a robust pace but still 0.7 of a point below what it was in April.
More importantly, the gains are lagging what major Chinese enterprises saw last year. Much of the profit data are reported on a cumulative basis, and on those terms, the January-May profit growth was 9.8%, marking the only time the number has fallen below 10% in the past 12 months, with the exception of this year's January-February Lunar New Year period — always a slow time — when the expansion rate cooled to 9.4%.
The fact that industrial profit rose 12.2% last year underlines the slowdown now facing Chinese companies.
Then again, not all types of enterprise are equal: Private companies managed a 12.9% profit gain, foreign-funded companies (including, for the data's purposes, those from Hong Kong and Macau) saw their earnings rise 12.4%, but the state-owned corporations saw profit improve by a slim 3.4%.

- by Michael Kitchen
- Add a Comment
The Nikkei Average's 0.1% opening loss has seen its decimal point move one spot to the right, with the Japanese stock benchmark now down 1.7% for the day.
The reason? 'Twas the yen that dunnit — the dollar, which was at ¥101.61 at the open, is now at ¥101.35 and falling, slamming equities.
Among the deeper divers, Renesas is down 4.3%, Fujitsu is down 3%, Kawasaki Heavy is down 3.1%, Bridgestone is down 2.8%, and, well, the list goes on.
As for the dollar/yen's decisive move south, Dow Jones quoted an unidentified Japanese bank dealer as citing stop-loss selling after the pair fell below Thursday's low of ¥101.49 on speculative dollar sales, though that same dealer sees firm support around ¥101.30, where bids are waiting to buy the greenback.
In any case, we haven't seen a yen this strong since May 21, when the dollar briefly dipped below ¥101, according to FactSet.

- Surge in cancer worries Beijing; many blame pollution
- by Laura He
- Add a Comment
A worrying surge in cancer cases in Beijing is grabbing public attention today, with many on social media blaming the city's increasingly worse pollution.
According to statistics from the Beijing city government Thursday, there were about 40,307 new cases of cancer reported in China's capital in 2012. That means, every day about 110 people were diagnosed with cancer.
The number has almost doubled from 10 years ago, when 63 new cases of cancer were diagnosed each day on average, according to an official at the Beijing city government's Cancer Research and Control Office.
Among the most commonly diagnosed cancers in men, lung cancer ranked the first, followed by colorectal cancer and liver cancer. In women, the top three were breast cancer, lung cancer and colorectal cancer.
Although the government pointed to "unhealthy life habits" as the main reason behind the surge, some on Chinese social media begged to differ.
"Air pollution, abuse of food additives — how can we not be getting disease?" an official account for the Beijing Yidaxinkai Technology Company said on Weibo.
"About 20% of lung cancer cases are related to PM 2.5 air pollution [fine particulate matters that can penetrate into the lung]. Many people got it despite never smoking," a Beijing resident with the handle "Laox
uship ing" said on his weibo account. "Where can we escape?"

Pithivierscake Recipes
Olivier's Grandma's Pithivier Dessert Recipe
If you follow the blog, you've probably noticed the "pithivier cake" cooking tutorial my childhood friend Alexia, her husband Olivier and I filmed during their visit to Silicon Valley. We've received great feedback, but many of you asked for the recipe in print for easier readability. So without further ado, here it is.
I've baked another pithivier; they're so easy to assemble (we've made four already since I learned Olivier's grandma "Mamie Françoise's" 1930s award-winning pithivier cake recipe). It originates from the small town of Pithiviers, in the Loiret département in north-central France where Olivier grew up. As we mentioned in the video, "shhh," this recipe is a secret! It's only made with almond flour, eggs, sugar and oranges. There is no butter; the richness comes from the abundance of almonds in the batter.

My Field Trip to Big Darby Creek
We went to Big Darby Creek where we tested for chemicals in the water and caught macroinvertebrates. I caught many Water Pennies and a few Crayfish. Later in the day we hiked a trail to see Bison, but unfortunately, none were out. After that we used a machine to put the YWSI logo on our tote bags. Then we went to an arboretum and learned about roof gardens and different trees and flowers. Our last activity of the day then was a tour around OSU. Tuesday was one of my favorite days!

ROSA KHUTOR, Russia (Reuters) - Born in the USA but a gold medal winner for Russia, snowboarder Vic Wild made a switch that would have been unthinkable 30 years ago. Without it, he may never have become an Olympic champion.
Minutes after his Russian wife Alena Zavarzina won bronze in the women's snowboard event on Wednesday, Wild crossed the finish line first in the men's parallel giant slalom to the roars of a jubilant Russian crowd.
A cut in funding for the United States Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) slalom program led the 27-year-old to switch to Russia in 2011 after he married Zavarzina. But it has been by no means an easy ride to Olympic glory.
"I went the hard way," Wild told a news conference. "Russia has lots of good riders. Russia has the opportunity for me to win races, not for me to go to the Olympics.
"Russia is the country that has given me the opportunity to win the medal. If I was still riding for the USA I'd be back home, maybe with some mediocre job, doing something mediocre. That's not who I wanted to be."
While Zavarzina was delighted with her bronze medal, she was more eager to talk about her husband's success.
"I'm very happy that Vic got gold," she said, sitting beside him on the podium. "This is what he worked for. He's so far from his hometown, he did an amazing job.
"He had to switch countries, switch nationality, accept something that some people would never accept.
"He has to deal with the Russian mentality, with stuff he's not used to, working with people who don't understand him most of the time."
Wild told reporters his path was not for everyone. "It's a serious thing to do. If someone's going to switch their nation, they'd better be very sure of themselves," he told reporters.
"All my friends, they understand," he said of his former U.S. team mates. "They've seen me at my lows, they know that it was very important for me - my entire life - that I make this switch and that I give it one more shot.
"If I hadn't done this, I think I'd always be wondering, 'what if?' You don't want to live your life like that," he said.
Wild and 24-year-old Zavarazina met in 2009 and were married in July 2011.
"It was the full-on Siberian wedding. We did it in Novosibirsk, it was crazy," he said, admitting that he did not understand much of what was said during the ceremony.
"It was probably more stressful than today. It was the most stressful day of my life," he said, smiling. "I was walking into one building, thinking to myself, 'Dude, you are way too far from home to run!'"
Moving to Moscow has also been something of a culture shock for the young man from White Salmon, Washington, which has a population of just over 2,000.
"Moving to the big city was hard for me, for sure. The first couple of months I was quite depressed, but once I started learning how to enjoy Moscow, life's actually been a lot better," he said.
Wild indicated that some of his Russian team mates were not delighted by his arrival. "My team mates helped me so much," he said wryly. "I don't think many of them like me so much but I really appreciate it."
Wild revealed that he plans to snowboard for another four years, and to learn his new language properly.
"I'm very focused on snowboard and training, and I haven't put in the time I need to for really speaking. I can get around and do simple stuff, but I'm not a Russian speaker," he said.

West Virginia Still Hates Michigan
They drop the puck at 7:35 p.m.
Anyone whose name is Rich Rodriguez gets in free. Fans bringing in articles about Rodriguez to get shredded will get in for a discounted rate. Any fan caught wearing University of Michigan apparel will be charged double in order to help Rodriguez pay his $4 million buyout to West Virginia.
"Everybody is so upset," Nailers co-president Rob Brooks said. "We wanted to let [fans] release some frustration, and we'll release some frustration of our own."
The Nailers are not alone in trying to capitalize on the Rich Rod mess. A resolution introduced by West Virginia Congressman Alan Mollohan to honor the Mountaineer football team passed in the U.S. House of Representatives.
While Mollohan has virtually reassured re-election for life in his home state, don't lawmakers have more important matters to deal with? John Bresnahan of the Politico says this was a waste of time:
"The assertion in the resolution that the WVU had to 'overcome adversity' to win the Fiesta Bowl doesn't really make it for me.
"As one Crypt colleague pointed out, if there was one team that really overcame some adversity this year, it was the Virginia Tech Hokies, whose campus saw the horrific murder of 32 students and teachers in April 2007. Virginia Tech came back and almost won the national championship this season. West Virginia, meanwhile, choked horribly in a Dec. 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Panthers. which cost the Mountaineers a chance to play for a national championship. Not good."
Finally, Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports ranks the 18 coaching hires. No. 1 is Michigan's hiring of Rich Rodriguez. No. 18? West Virginia's hiring of Bill Stewart.
Writes Dodd: "Stewart seems to be a nice guy but we know absolutely nothing about him as a head coach despite the Fiesta Bowl. Let's judge him in five years and see if he can deliver four Big East titles and two BCS bowl teams — like Rodriguez did."
Thanks to the Midwest Correspondent.

The thing about Dodd is that he's a total ass clown. There is no question that RR is a better hire than whoever I saw crying in that BCS bowl, but I used to read Dodd's stuff until I realized I was dumber when i went to bed than when i woke up in the morning.
Let's also see if Stewart can choke in the big games, just like RichFraud did against Pitt, and USF repeatedly. The spread is now everywhere, and credit certainly goes to him for developing it a while back. It's his playcalling that stinks.
Just wait till UM fans get sick of seeing two plays called over and over again: bubble screens and zone QB reads. Last December, Pitt didn't need to drop a single defender further than 7 yards off the LOS. They've got an egomaniac on their hands, who thinks he can run "his" offense however he wants and it'll work no matter what D opposes it.
RR needs to thank his lucky stars for Pat White.
- Knute Bryant said...
If one ever wanted a textbook way to humiliate themselves as a school and a state... West Virginia is doing it in incredible fashion.
I know the whole "psycho ex-girlfriend" thing is a bit cliche... but let him go, man... let him go.
knute bryant,
couldnt have put it better. I have never heard mess like this in college in my entire life. what a bunch of losers.
So a minor league Hockey team in the Northern Panhandle decides to run a silly promo and that gives you cause to demonize the people of an entire state?
Odd that you bust your proverbial load over such small things or the fact that WVU was looking into the whereabouts of some missing files (they didn't outright claim rod had stolen them, but he had been seen shredding files in his office), but say nothing of racism/harassment that have been proven to be unfounded.
You make an entry that slams WV, yet ignore that both families (Rod's and Gibson's) are still living in the Morgantown area, and make no mention of the emails that are released that make Rod's agent out to be a money hungry jackal who constantly harassed the AD.
Who's biased? The ESPN polls seem to think that WVU is handling itself best in this whole matter, and thus far has the credibility.
I'm curious to see how many of Rod's backers in the Michigan camp will be singing his praises after he has a similar season to his 2001WVU one, next year.
WVU might not be on top, but at least we won't have to worry about our guy jumping ship or sticking it to local real estate agents behind his wife's back.
- Knute Bryant said...
I'm not saying RR is completely in the right here. He probably does owe money.
But WVU is acting worse than Alabama did with Fran.
Obviously the media skews how bad it is... but some of that stuff is mental.
I'm also going to put good money on that ESPN poll having a slightly higher percentage of voting out of WV than any other state. Call me crazy.

With that decision, LJCD assistant football coach and eighth-grade history teacher Tyler Hales took over as head coach.
La Jolla Today caught up with Hales for a Q&A to discuss why he wanted the job, what he has learned during his time as assistant to Hutzler and what he's expecting out of the kids and the program moving forward.
La Jolla Today: What interested you in taking over as head coach?
Tyler Hales: Pure and simple, I love Country Day. To be honest, being the head coach was never something I necessarily sought out. I have always just tried to work hard at whatever job I had, with the belief that opportunities will arise if I do well. When Coach Hutzler stepped down, this opportunity was one that I couldn't pass up. I love everything about Country Day, and there is no other school that I would rather lead on the football field. Another really important factor that interested me in taking over is that we already had a great staff on board, and I knew that if I took over I would have excellent men beside me to usher in the new era of Torrey football. I learned a ton under Coach — how to do things the right way, in a nutshell. Coach Hutzler did a lot to help me as a coach and to prepare me for becoming a head coach someday. For the past six years, I have attended the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Convention with nearly 10,000 other high school and college coaches. Every year I go, I am inspired by the power a football coach can have on a young man. In recent years, I've also paid close attention to the many successful coaches describe how they have built their programs, and I started to envision myself becoming a head coach someday. I am hopeful that I can keep building our program like Coach Hutzler did so that I can make our entire school community proud.
LJT: Given your time with the team as an assistant coach, how easy of a transition will this be for both you and the kids that will be on the 2014 team and beyond?
TH: I really believe this is huge. I already have been able to develop a trusting relationship with players and I understand the high demands and expectations of being a young man at Country Day. Additionally, some of the freshmen I have even known since they were in third grade, where I got my start teaching at Country Day, and I taught them in the classroom multiple times; other guys I have also coached in baseball. I think that this mutual comfort level, where I know the background of the players and they understand my expectations and passion, will really create a smooth transition. I have already met individually with most of the current players and I will be meeting with the senior players in the next week to start planning how they will lead the team in 2014. I think already being at the school has definitely enabled me to hit the ground running. Additionally, being an eighth-grade teacher at the school will help me continue to get future players excited and to buy in to what Torrey football is all about.
LJT: What would you target as some of your goals for the 2014 squad?
TH: This is a great question. I believe in setting the bar high, and I see no reason why we can't compete for the Coastal League title this season. While I am very aware of the tough competition and the many excellent returning players around the Coastal League, I am confident that we can surprise some folks next fall, especially with the great off-season we already have planned. I know each player and coach also has this expectation. Additionally, we plan to advance further in the playoffs than last season, after a disappointing first-round loss to a tough Clairemont team. As important as winning is, we also have classroom and community service goals for this upcoming season. I am in the process of compiling our current team GPA, and we will set a goal to surpass this by next fall. I don't want the boys only competing on the field, I want them supporting and pushing each other in the classroom, as well. We also will be striving to do more for our community by working with our incredible community service director, Susan Nordenger, to help determine a cause the 2014 Torrey football team will be devoted to. Lastly, I want to continue to foster a positive relationship between the football team and the entire Country Day community — from students to faculty and staff in all divisions.
LJT: Back in the "old days" of coaching, coaches could get away with maybe coaching during the season and a little bit before or after. Now, however, coaching has almost become a year-round process. How do you handle that as a head coach?
TH: I am from Massachusetts and I played for a legend of a coach named Bill Tighe. When he retired a few years ago, he was the oldest active high school coach in the country. I saw him when I showed up for the first practice of the school year in August but after our last game of the season on Thanksgiving that was it, aside from seeing him cheering us on in baseball. Times have definitely changed. After being the head JV baseball coach for the past seven years, I have stepped down in order to focus on and prepare for football. I have already had very full days trying to take care of many of the details concerning the team. Where we are with high school football today, as a head coach you simply cannot get away with sitting around waiting for the next season to begin. You need to actively work to help put players in a position to be successful and to get them to buy in to your vision. In the end though, it is really important, especially at a school like Country Day, to not overdue it and push kids away from the sport or to burn out. I firmly believe in multi-sport athletes and I want football players competing and representing the Torreys in different sports all year round. In everything I do, I try to leave as little to chance as possible, and I am taking this approach to being the head coach. I want to make sure I have done everything in my power to prepare our players. Luckily I have a VERY supportive wife who also loves Torrey football.
LJT: Who are some of the kids you will look to to provide leadership for the team this coming season?
TH: Like I said, I will be meeting with next season's senior class. I am really excited about the leadership these seniors will be bringing to the table. Not only are they a tight-knit group, but they do things the right way and they truly care for their younger teammates. There are no egos and there is a lot of selflessness in these guys. These young men already have some great ideas for how they want to lead and help be the foundation for the future of Torrey football. Not only do these guys lead by example and play with a lot of heart on the field, but they are also leaders in their classes, which is why they are so respected by their younger teammates. We will also have a number of talented sophomores making significant contributions next fall, and the leadership of these seniors will be instrumental in our success next fall.

While Fellaini went unpunished by the match officials at the time, replays clearly showed him making contact with Shawcross as they jostled for position in the box for a second-half corner.
Following the match, Everton manager David Moyes admitted the incident was "not acceptable" and tonight Fellaini issued an apology on the club's official website.
"I apologise completely to Ryan Shawcross, my team-mates and to our fans at the game," said Fellaini.
"There was a lot of pushing and pulling going on inside the Stoke penalty area and I didn't feel I was getting any protection from the officials.
"Nevertheless I know I shouldn't have done what I did.
"I have also apologised to the manager and the staff. I have no excuses, I was disappointed with the way I was being treated and I lost my temper, which was unprofessional of me."
Despite Fellaini's apology, the incident is likely to come under scrutiny from the Football Association's disciplinary panel when they review the footage this week.
Moyes said after the game that Everton would accept any punishment, with referee Mark Halsey's failure to act allowing the FA scope to hand down retrospective punishment.
Moyes admitted he thought Fellaini had warranted a red card and emphasised he would not stand for that sort of behaviour from his players.
"We will take the punishment if it is given for it," Moyes said.
"I have told him [Fellaini] in the dressing room that it is not acceptable - I won't accept it as a manager that he does that."
Asked how he might compensate for losing a player as influential as Fellaini to suspension should the 25 year-old be handed a ban by the FA, Moyes said: "There is no absence yet, but he is a really good player and a big part of the team, and that is why I think the biggest disappointment, if anything does happen, is that he will have let the team down."
He added: "I only normally complain if I think we are getting hard done by and I have said a few things about how I think we have been treated by decisions recently.
"So I think if you are going to talk about it with your own team... Today, it should have been a sending-off in the game.
"If the referee [Mark Halsey] had been able to see it, it should have been."
Stoke manager Tony Pulis claimed Fellaini had in fact been guilty of three unpunished offences this afternoon, and referenced others he felt had been committed by different players against his team this season.
"I'll say this - David Luiz's challenge on Jon Walters [in a 1-0 defeat at Chelsea], Ciaran Clark's challenge on Glenn Whelan last week [in a 0-0 draw at Aston Villa], and then the three incidents today," Pulis said.
"I thought the rules were set out in stone.
"I like Mark Halsey and I think he's a good referee, but I don't know whether he has seen it.
"If he has seen it and not acted, then you really want to know why he has not acted.
"I don't think you can hide behind anything and what he [Fellaini] has done is wrong."

Hey guys,
thank you so much for your effort to try and keep the servers up.
I have a HUGE request
I play ARK survival evolved and i would like to gain admin rights to your server OR even better would be to rent a new CREATIVE (short of) server where every member can have admin rights.
I can't afford to get my own server, i made a small research (best way i can help you) and found very cheap hosts http://nazeboo.com/server-hosting/ark-s ... r-hosting/ starting at $15. I would also be able to donate a small mount of money for the server.
So what you say?
Rent another ark survival evolved server?

Edythe Abdullah, Luther Coggin, Toni Crawford, Ann Hicks, Bruce Taylor, Jerry Watterson
Judith Solano
Chair Hicks called the meeting to order. She commented on the wonderful experience she had at the inauguration last Friday then asked for a motion to approve the minutes. Trustee Coggin proffered the motion, it was seconded by Trustee Crawford, and passed unanimously.
Provost Kline stated that Dean Workman had brought the idea of reorganizing the Department of Communication and Visual Arts to him about six months ago and asked Dr. Workman to discuss his reasons for the reorganization.
Dean Workman stated that the Department of Communication and Visual Arts was one of the College of Arts and Sciences (COAS) amalgamated departments. The department had been amalgamated for the sake of administrative efficiency and it was partly due to the success of that efficiency that the department should be separated. He said the department was by far the largest in COAS and probably in the university. After the proposed division, there would still be two substantial departments – thus sheer size was one compelling reason for the division. There was currently one chair of the department, whose expertise was in communications. This presented a good reason for seeking autonomy in art and design as the chair was responsible for recruiting, mentoring, and evaluating faculty, reviewing candidates for tenure, advising students, overseeing curriculum development in the department, and scheduling courses. The more knowledge a chair had of a discipline, the more effectively he or she could perform the duties of chair. While the current chair had knowledge of art and design, it was not the same as having someone from that field. Additionally, accreditation of the communication program was contingent on autonomy; it must be a stand alone unit. Though this was not the case for art and design, autonomy was regarded as desirable for those programs as well. Reorganization would have the positive effect of creating greater visibility for the art history program, now a nascent program but one Dr. Workman was interested in developing. The cost of separation would be minimal, requiring only an extension of an existing salary to a twelve-month contract as an internal search would be conducted for a chair for art and design. Office space was available for the separation. Dr. Workman heartily recommended the reorganization.
Chair Hicks wondered why, if the preponderance of the department was communication, the discrepancy between the number of student hours in art and design and in communication was not that great. Provost Kline responded that this was due to general education courses, not all of the students were art and design majors.
Trustee Watterson asked how the reorganization would affect students. Dean Workman answered that communication would be accredited and possibly some art and design programs could become eligible for accreditation as well.
Trustee Abdullah asked about support staff. Dean Workman replied that currently there were two secretaries assigned to the department; one would go with each new unit. Both secretaries were amenable to this plan. Faculty themselves had voted for the reorganization, with only one exception: a faculty member eligible for tenure who opposed the reorganization as he felt his tenure would be best championed by the current chair. Overall, the department was very much in favor of the division. Trustee Abdullah asked why an internal search was recommended as opposed to an external one. Dr. Workman said that, on principle, it was preferable to seek to appoint chairs from within when such option existed as it was more economical and because faculty within a department understood the needs of the department better than someone from outside. He said that on occasion it was necessary to hire from outside the department, but only under specific circumstances such as a departmental need for someone with stronger expertise in a particular area or personnel problems within a department which might be best resolved by bringing in an outside chair.
Trustee Taylor wanted to know if the reorganization would change or impact existing graduate programs. He asked Dr. Workman for his opinion on how the division would affect future graduate studies. Dean Workman replied that neither program offered a graduate degree at this point, although graphic design faculty were eager to develop one and had prepared a substantial proposal some time ago. He said that, for the moment, staffing needs for the department were sufficiently great, given the number of majors both accommodated, to preclude graduate offerings in the immediate future. The first priority would be adequate staffing. Trustee Taylor said that it seemed that the division would help with graduate program offerings in the long run. Dr. Workman agreed.
Trustee Abdullah addressed a question to President Delaney regarding the fiscal impact of splitting the department. President Delaney replied that the impact would be negligible. Trustee Solano added that the proposal had been through all the layers of faculty at the university, such as the department, COAS, and the faculty association, and been endorsed at all levels.
Trustee Coggin noted that when Dr. Lowenstein evaluated the program he had indicated that it was well along the way toward accreditation. He asked if the separation of the department would enhance the timeliness of accreditation and the addition of masters programs. Dr. Workman answered both parts of the question affirmatively, noting that unless a program was freestanding, it could not be accredited. Trustee Abdullah asked President Delaney if either of the new departments would be considered in the university's new vision of identifying those areas that would be considered exemplary or high profile. President Delaney answered that all of the programs were under consideration for those qualities.
Trustee Watterson mentioned that he did not feel the department's faculty members were sufficiently involved in student activities on campus, such as the campus radio station or news sources. Provost Kline noted that the department had been chronically understaffed. Dean Workman agreed, adding that the chair had been unable to assign faculty to support those activities due to the faculty shortage.
Chair Hicks asked for a motion. The motion to approve the division was proffered by Trustee Coggin and passed unanimously.
Chair Hicks said that the art department had an outstanding art exhibit on second floor of the fine arts building and encouraged the trustees to visit the exhibit if they had an opportunity. She noted that some of UNF's graduates had gone on to become regional artists.
Ms. Karen Stone spoke to the demonstrations rule, reminding trustees of several rules discussed a few months previously as the university cleaned up existing rules and examined the use of outdoor space.
Two of the rules were passed at that time, but President Delaney made a decision to look at this rule a bit closer. She said the revised rule was very similar but a few adjustments had been made so that it would be clear that the campus was open to demonstrations so long as the demonstrations were orderly and did not disrupt education.
President Delaney noted that the way the rule was previously designed seemed to limit free speech, which was not the intent. UNF was a free speech zone and President Delaney wished to encourage that freedom. The purpose of the rule was to provide that encouragement while noting that demonstrations in some areas of the campus would disrupt education. The rule had been rewritten to be more permissive than restrictive of free speech. Trustee Coggin expressed his approval, stating that trustees were absolutely supportive of free speech unless such speech disrupted classes.
Ms. Clausen drew attention to the changed section, section 3, which now said that people could freely express opinions in outdoor areas of campus unless said area was committed to other use. The Robinson Student Life Center had been historically associated with free speech and was still an area where people were welcome to express their opinions, but such expression was not limited to that area. A positive statement had been added encouraging free speech on campus. The rule did state that if the demonstration required amplification, large areas, or large groups of people, then permission should be requested two weeks prior to the event. Trustee Taylor asked what the difference was between formal and informal use. Ms. Clausen answered that if a demonstration was not amplified, was in a small area, with a small group, it was considered informal. Ms. Stone added that though the university wanted notice for large groups, there was room for exercising judgment. The point was not to count heads but to look at the nature of the impact on the campus. President Delaney added that the idea was to give the university an opportunity to prepare for large events. Ms. Stone said the university was required by law to inform the general public. Trustee Coggin thought that would be good for public relations as well.
Chair Hicks called for a vote on the modified rule. The trustees approved it unanimously.
Trustee Abdullah complimented the President's staff on the inauguration, stating that it was exquisitely done and she was very impressed with everyone's presence and the support of the community. She said President Delaney's speech was fabulous and requested a copy of it. She felt the speech was very much a reflection of the Board's conversations and enthusiasm for UNF. Trustee Taylor expressed all of the trustees' pride in being involved in such a significant event. President Delaney thanked the trustees for all of their help and support. Chair Hicks spoke of the musical performances at the inauguration, stating that she thought the group should be on tour they were so wonderful. President Delaney said he had friends from out of town who were stunned by the performances.

AudioGO have released their latest tale in the ongoing Destiny of the Doctor series, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who. Each month's tale features a different Doctor, ending with the Eleventh Doctor in November. June's tale, Trouble in Paradise, features the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown. Details are as follows:
"Responding to a desperate summons from the Doctor's future self, he and Peri find themselves on a sailing ship in 1492, where the crewmen are gripped by superstitious fear. They say the Devil walks among them, stalking and striking them down. Even though they have landed in paradise, they fear that 'El Diablo' himself will drag them over the edge of the world and into the depths of hell. When the Doctor and Peri meet the captain of the ship, they both discover that heroes can sometimes behave un-heroically. Peri's reaction leads her into deep water, and soon the Doctor fears not only for her life but also for the existence of the ship, the paradise island, and the Universe itself..."
Trouble in Paradise is written by Nev Fountain, writer of the highly-acclaimed "The Kingmaker". The story is currently available as a download for £3.99, and on the 6th June as a CD, priced £5.10.

Sambal—precisely cooked sambal—is a notably versatile and robust component in traditional Malaysian cooking. It's the building block of many scrumptious and colorful Malay and Nyonya dishes and marries well with wide array of ingredients: seafood, tofu, eggs, and vegetables.
Once you master the skill of making a great sambal, you can prepare numerous variations of lusciously addictive sambal-laden dishes, for example: grilled fish with banana leaf, sambal eggplant, prawn sambal, or in this instance, egg sambal or sambal telur.
Sambal has the virtue of adding layers of complex flavors to any everyday ingredients; it brightens up a simple ingredient and adds zesty, piquant, and tantalizing notes to the finished dish.
Sambal telur or egg sambal is a Malay concoction. I usually fry up a huge batch of sambal in oil until it reaches the perfect texture, flavor, and consistency and then I'd store my sambal in the fridge for days or even weeks.
To make sambal telur, I'd boil some eggs and then sauté them with sambal so they are nicely coated with it. Sambal telur is a quick and easy recipe but exceptionally pleasing!
Once in a while, I'd deep fry the hard boiled eggs so the outer layer of the eggs turns golden brown and crisp. This variation of sambal telur or egg sambal tastes even finer because of the mouthfeel of the eggs. Either way, sambal telur doesn't disappoint.

I feel like somewhat of a housewife... but I really do love to get into mah polka dot playsuit, don an apron and get my bake on!
more this!
And that's just what I did today! Muffin and I are celebrating our 3 year anniversary on Thursday so I guess this is more so for that than for Valentines Day.
Or to be honest, more so just for the sake of baking than anything else; as it's what I love!
This was my very first serious go at piping my icing and I sure as hell did enjoy it. My dream would be to be a pastry chef! I just love it. I can't explain it.. but every thing cakey and cute is right up my alley :D
(with that said.. theres only so many cute-cupcake-themed things you can receive for birthday - yaknowwhatimean?!)
This cake I have baked before with both success and failure. I think today was a success.. but I haven't eaten it yet - it just looks pretty! (I always end up cooking it for about twice the amount of time the recipe says however..)
I watched many videos and found them super helpful for my icing-confidence-building.
I went with this icing recipe and it worked perfectly for piping. I still had some left over at the end too! I added beet juice as dye and a little red food colouring for the writing at the end.
Anywho. Bliss. What a day. Enjoy your Valentines, peeps!

The Pecorari family, shareholders of SAl S.p.A. Hydraulic Motors, announced today that they completed the acquisition of 100% of Intermot, another Italian radial piston motor manufacturer from its existing shareholders. Both companies are privately held so no financial details were provided. The deal was finalized Jan. 1.
The company plans to move to a new manufacturing facility in Italy, and also introduce major improvements to the basic Intermot design to increase the performance and efficiency of the motor.
The companies say the move is a progressive step forward in their strategic alliance, which started more than 20 years ago, when during a period of the great difficulty, the Pecorari family joined the company and played a crucial role in the revival
of the Intermot motor, with both financial and technical assistance.
Several significant technological improvements to the distributor, the crankshaft and the integrated central bearing of the Intermot motor enabled the company to restore itself in the marketplace, which has led to improved relationships with customers, suppliers, and financial institutions.
Since the beginning of the 1990s, one of the larger application fields for Intermot motors was on plastic injection molding machines
machines. Because production of these machines had been rapidly moving to the Far East, a production factory in China was set up. Therefore, the Ningbo-Intermot joint venture was incorporated. Located in Ningbo, this subsidiary has already established Intermot Motors as the market leader in China.
The Pecoraris believe there is even greater potential for expansion of the product, particularly in the markets that require large radial piston motors, so they expect Intermot to become a key player in worldwide markets in the future.

We need to try to make stock trading approachable so that the target user will enjoy the pop culture aspects of the game. This brings us to the requirements...
We need:
1 16x16 Icon for the game
1 75x75 Logo for the game
4 150x150 Images of our 'Broker' avatar:
- 1 'excited' image associated with special offers
- 1 'happy' image associated with stock gains
- 1 'normal' image associated with helping the user
- 1 'concerned' image associated with stock losses
Obviously, having an eye-catching icon and logo are important. However, the Broker is really the most important part of this project.
The Broker should:
1) be female
2) be 'cartoony', not realistic
3) be inviting/approachable
4) be intelligent and confident
5) be businesslike
Remember, we need the Broker to have 4 images: excited, happy, normal and concerned.
The Logo should incorporate the name 'PopStocks'.

Continuing on in the initial stage, you have to be bodily outstanding.

Whether or not you've an hourglass form, or perhaps a supermodel stature, or even the androgynous appear of the ballerina - you have to be extremely match. You're operating at an elite degree - just like a leading design, an elite athlete or an achieved actress. You have to be consuming extremely, extremely cautiously, and dealing out religiously each working day. There isn't any location for consuming problems, a lazy way of life, a nonchalant method of your wellbeing, normal 'partying', or fluctuating physique dimension. You're outstanding, you're a queen.
