One of the nation's most passionate golfing populations reside in the great state of Ohio. We asked our over 140,000 Facebook fans for their help in compiling the best places for residents and visitors to tee it up when they visit the Buckeye State. Here's their list.
9.) Brookledge Golf Club, Cuyohoga Falls: This Arthur Hills creation recently underwent a million dollar renovation.
Igor Petrovich: Big fan of Brookledge outside of Akron, affordable yet challenging and with the recent makeover it's a well kept course as well
8.) Grey Hawk Golf Club, Lagrange: a public daily fee golf course that incorporates a strategic examination of trajectory, direction, distance and creatively blends it with the beauty of the natural features, sand and water.
John E Satanek Jr: Grey Hawk in Lagrange. Hole 3, island surrounded by sand. Hole 11, island in water. Holes 7,8, and 9 one tough string of holes. Par 5 Hole 7 can be played so many different ways and can get scores easily from 4 to 15.
7.) Seven Hills Country Club, Hartville: Minutes from Akron, Canton and Youngstown, Seven Hills is home to the 2011 Ohio Publinx.
Mike Bennett: Seven hills in hartville,ohio... always in great shape, challenging but fair. held many amateur tourny's, can be long and tough from the tips. Affordable and scenic. a true hidden gem in small town ohio!
6.) Cooks Creek Golf Club, Ashville: One of the most highly-acclaimed courses in Ohio. This gem sits about 25 minutes south of Columbus
Mark Cross: Cook's Creek- public- always perfect condition- great layout from back tees!
Ryan Smith: Cooks creek is solid when not too much rain. Front 9 sits low., but I like how sides are different.
5.) Darby Creek Golf Course, Marywville: Two distinct layouts mark this track. One is a tree-lined nine with scenic views, the other is equally pretty but with a Scottish links feel.
Keith Weaver: I stand by Darby Creek in marysville. Great course with a number of memorable holes. Greens are phenomenal.
4.) Shale Creek Golf Club, Medina: Many mentioned Shale Creek as one of the most scenic and best conditioned found anywhere
Scott Sharon: Shale Creek in Medina Ohio links style...... they keep that course like your playing in the Masters...
3.) Table Rock Golf Club, Centerburg: Perhaps known more for its association with putting icon Scotty Cameron, the course itself is a favorite amongs golfers in the know.
Rob Reasoner: Table Rock. Home of the International Cameron Convention. They have a putter room in the pro shop. All kinds of Scotty Cameron Tour putters in there. Course is great as well.
2.) Black Diamond Golf Club, Millersburg: Unique? Yes. Demanding? Of course. Beautiful? Absolutely. Hard to beat this Millersburg gem.
Jay MacMaster You will never play a course like black diamond. 6400 yards feels like 7400 yards including a 715 par 6! Awesome experience every hole is a challenge. Also the best par 5 I've ever played #14. Everyone should play it at least once.
1.) Longaberger Golf Club, Nashport: Widely lauded as Ohio's best of the best, Longaberger had many fans in our Facebook nation
Jason F. Collins Longaberger from the tips is killer.
Jim McLeod Longaberger. Always well maintained.

The thousand colours of marble
It is a well-known fact that our black and white vision of sculpture and classic architecture is the fruit of a misunderstanding that occurred in the XVIII century. The marble buildings of the Graeco-Roman world, like the friezes and statues they housed, featured bright polychromy that represented an essential part of the finished work. Ancient sources were, for example, well aware of the collaboration between the Athenian Praxiteles, undoubtedly the most renowned sculptor of the IV century BC and Nicias the painter, one of the most famous of his generation, whose skilled hands were called upon to colour the complexions and attributes of the marble statues sculpted by the Attic genius.
Although traces of the original polychromy survive - often in good state of preservation - in works found directly in the ground, they rarely survive on those sculptures which have endured centuries of history and collecting vicissitudes, as in the case of the statues exhibited in the Uffizi Gallery. If one considers that still around the end of the eighteenth century, marble statues showing the remains of garish colouring, in Florence, Naples or Rome, were carefully cleaned with acid to remove the remains of decorations held to be the product of belated interventions which had spoiled their original candour, the challenge involved in restoring the original colours of sculptures in an ancient collection may seem a desperate undertaking destined to fail from the outset.

However, the development of instrumentation and the improvement in survey instruments, which currently include the use of portable spectrometric instruments, allowed for the possibility of recovering the relics of a painted decoration, maybe invisible to our eyes, but certainly not to those of sophisticated research instruments. This challenge has given rise to collaboration between the department of Classic Antiquities and the department of Chemistry of the University of Modena and Reggio which, in the persons of Professors Pietro Baraldi and Paolo Zannini, has for at least three decades taken pride in the key role it plays at European level in the study of ancient polychromy. One year on from the beginning of this fruitful collaboration it can be affirmed that the challenge has been won. Where the eye could see nothing but a candid surface, the optical microscopic and the compositive analyses made using X-ray fluorescence have found shadows of ancient colours and supplied useful and hitherto unknown data for restoring the sculptures to their original resplendence. This is the case of a statue of Minerva Minor on whose breast-plate gold particles remaining from the original gilding have been found; these, combined with the greens and reds of the robes, gave the statue a forcefulness and grandeur, that is difficult to imagine today. The greens of the sarcophagi of the Nereids, made with precious lapis lazuli powder, blacks obtained with coal dust used to outline the irises on portraits and statues, like those of the athlete in the first corridor, midnight blues with which the fur of the panther in the group of dancing Menades was painted, reds obtained from iron oxide used to colour the stole of the Augustan matron presented at the "Volti Svelati" exhibition, are just a few of the colours rediscovered after months of patient research and targeted analyses.
But, all these discoveries, however important and unexpected, stand aside in the face of the remarkable discovery of the gold laminas that adorned the hair of the Medici Venus. Restoration work to restore the Tribuna to its ancient splendour has also involved the sculptures housed there since the end of the XVII century. These are the pride of the Medicean collections: the Dancing Satyr, the Wrestlers, the Scythian (knife grinder) and especially the Medici Venus, for centuries the Gallery's icon and held by Canova to be the archetype of feminine beauty. The gilding now brought to light thanks to the surveys made by Professors Baraldi and Zannini is not a completely unexpected discovery. We learned from reports and descriptions of eighteenth century visitors that the Venus's golden blond was still clearly visible at that time and was indicated by the Gallery guides as proof of the work's great importance. Following excessively zealous restoration work which probably occurred when the sculpture returned from its exile in Paris imposed by Napoleon, the gilding completely disappeared and only now, thanks to targeted analyses, has it been possible to show that the observations of the protagonists of the Grand Tour were not the fruit of collective hallucination but rather evidence of this splendid statue's ancient ornamentation which, with the addition of gilt and polychromy (as shown by the traces of red found on the lips) represented the camouflaged and realistic body of a young woman. It is no coincidence, as recent cleaning operations have brought to light, that even the ear lobes are pierced to enable the insertion of metal earrings, thus further accentuating the impression of realism.
Thus the sterile appearance of the classic sculptures arranged along the corridors of the Uffizi, has slowly given way to an array of bright colours which in the future it is hoped will succeed in restoring awareness and enjoyment to an even wider public, thanks to graphic representations placed beside the exhibited works.

The lights are on
Video game cheat devices aren't what they used to be. In the '90s, the GameShark allowed us to pretend like we were "hacking" our games. Now cheat codes of all kinds are on life support.
If you're unfamiliar, a GameShark is a piece of hardware that attaches to a system and manipulates a game's properties. The most common codes offer unlimited health or unlock weapons, but others push games further – sometimes to a breaking point.
The following are five beloved GameShark codes, in no particular order.
Warning: There are spoilers for Final Fantasy VII and Twisted Metal 2, which are both over 15 years old.
GoldenEye 007: Visit the Secret Island
Eagle-eyed gamers became obsessed with a mysterious island near the end of the first level of GoldenEye. Before Bond leaps off the dam, if you turn and look across the lake you can barely make out the island on the far side. Just pull out your sniper rifle, which you'll still have, of course, because in GoldenEye you can carry enough weapons to supply an army.
The dam is a military facility, so it's reasonable to wonder what could possibly be hidden on that tiny island. By using a "no clipping" code, you can traverse the water and check out the place for yourself.
By the way, the island sucks. There's a gun turret and an empty watchtower – no secret gadgets, no hidden tunnels, and no reason to be there. Thanks, GameShark, for demystifying that last bit of childhood wonder.
Pokémon Yellow: Fight Professor Oak
After discovering that your mother is still single, Professor Oak sends you – a young child – on a lengthy, dangerous quest to catch every Pokémon. It's OK to be upset with him.
In Pokémon Yellow, the professor has unused trainer data, implying that he was at one point meant to battle the player. His lineup features five Pokémon, including a Gyarados and a fully evolved starter Pokémon, all around level 70.
You can duel Oak using glitches, but initiating the battle with a GameShark is much easier. The fight is difficult, though if you have a GameShark, you've probably already eaten a mountain of rare candies.
Final Fantasy VII: Sephiroth Joins Your Party
Sephiroth burned down your hometown and killed your love interest. Naturally, you want to hang out with him.
Even with a GameShark, adding Sephiroth to your party is tricky business. Some of the codes substitute him in place of another character, and using his one-winged angel form begs your game to crash. Still, it's worth it to finally wield the best-looking sword (and haircut) in Final Fantasy VII. Just don't use the GameShark to bring Aeris back, too. That could get awkward.
Up next: Kart killers and ice cream from the sewers...

Lee Odden on stage (Courtesy of ionSearch via Creative Commons)
How to achieve an 'optimized state of mind'
Idon't do a lot of book reviews because I don't like to skim books. I really read them, and that takes time.
However, one book I couldn't put down was Lee Odden's Optimize, which he graciously sent me earlier this year (disclosure: I received a free copy of the book but was not even asked to write a review). I was so excited when it arrived that I immediately started thumbing through it.
Yup, that's a photo of my copy of the book, with all those little flags, and sticky thingummies.
It's just a terrific book – not just about SEO (search engine optimization) but much more about getting into an "optimized state of mind." That is "where you integrate social principles and a community element into content marketing – and to which you naturally apply good SEO principles – to grow a business that flourishes through attraction and engagement."
And if you're going to stay competitive in today's marketplace – forget about excelling, it takes so much to just stay abreast – you have to be able to do this. Ideally, you'll start to do it better and better. Continue reading

See the World From Space in 60 Seconds [VIDEO]
I watched this video five times in a row and was still in awe, so I decided to share it with you. The video is from the International Space Station flying over Earth at night and was condensed into 60 seconds. The city lights are really cool, but watch for the lightning in the clouds, that's my favorite!

Just a few links that have caught my eye this morning – and bon voyage to friends like Sharon Hill and Eugenie Scott et al, who are heading on their way to TAM!
As always Sharon's updates on Doubtful News are well worth subscribing too and so is CFI's/Paul Fidalgo's The Morning Heresy. They update more diligently than I do and are entertaining while they're at it!
To help weary travellers out – later today on Lulu.com (and Amazon, once I play around with the features for submitting a Kindle pdf) – the electronic version of The Scope of Skepticism: Interviews, Essays and Observations from the Token Skeptic podcast!
Firstly, thanks to SkepReview who has recommended my podcast amongst others for any journeys you may be having (such as off to work, like me!) – a post called TAM Travel Podcasts:
Whether you are traveling by commercial airliner, bus, train, or in the back of your friend's Mini, hopefully what follows will help you ease the hours away until you get to rub elbows with the likes of Dr. Stuart Robbins, Blake Smith, or Sharon Hill. Not all are necessarily skeptical podcasts, but episodes that help while away the long hours stuck next to the smelly gentleman who's using your shoulder as a comfy pillow flying from Liberty International to McCarron airports.
Here's a sneak preview of the interviewee for today's episode on the Token Skeptic…
Anthony Barnhart (aka, "Magic Tony") is a doctoral candidate in cognitive psychology at Arizona State University in the United States and a part-time professional magician with over twenty years of performing experience. In the lab, he studies the psychological processes underlying handwritten word perception and the psychological foundations of magic and illusion. An expert in the psychology of illusion, Tony has lectured on the topic at magic conventions and to students of psychology at colleges and universities. As a performer, he employs psychological principles to elevate his magic's impact and increase the audience's sense of wonder.
A while back I interviewed Prof Bruce Hood about his efforts to challenge dowsing by "bomb detector" devices, which is featured on the Curiouser and Curiouser column – guess what? 'Bomb detector' maker Jim McCormick faces fraud charges!
In a world first, Australian schoolboys will be able to get the successful Gardasil® vaccine, which will protect them against developing a range of cancers and bolster the effectiveness of this vaccine in women.
If you don't know what vaccinating a guy for Gardasil looks like – Professor Funk aka Dan Keogh demonstrates:
I'd like to think that the Government watched the Hungry Beast TV show…
THIS is something I've said (and also support an earlier article called "Is that a fallacy in your pocket or can you cite some sources? A response to Women and Feminism at TAM8 which in a not-so-dissimilar fashion talks about perspectives) – Don't Make Me Defend Jenny McCarthy on Slate:
Don't make me defend Jenny McCarthy! The problem, critics, has nothing to do with McCarthy posing nude, but that she has no medical or scientific credentials. Besides, she is arguably much more famous as an alternative health crusader than she ever was as a model or actress. Her good looks and B-list celebrity status helped her career as an activist, but they don't fully explain her continued influence.
Yes, the most likely picture we'll find of Jenny McCarthy is one in a bikini. Let's face it, those photos are there. But the focus on people's quality and expertise in their field is key, even if they Google as being in a bikini more often than not. So, I thought this was a good article by Slate.
…and to finish – some random and cute science about cats: Cats and Their Cute Genetic Anomalies (=^ェ^=)
Tortoiseshell cats, like Moggy, are almost always female and are characterised by their mottled mish mash of black, chocolate, blue and ginger fur. They are adored by mad old ladies and loving families alike. Moggy has some interesting genetics going on and it has something to do with the phenomenon of Random X-chromosome Inactivation. What on earth is "Random X-chromosome Inactivation" I hear you say…
Right! Back to work! Have a great end-of-week!

The oldest known graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison has died at the age of 109.
Irene Newman graduated in 1917 -- when her college education cost ten dollars a semester.
Newman, who never married or had children, earned a bachelor's degree and a librarian certificate the following year. She says reading was always important in her family.
She worked for the state Department of Public Instruction as a librarian for 43 years. She also worked to train teachers as librarians. She retired in the mid-1960s.
Newman also lived for 100 years in the same Madison house, where her paternal grandparents built a home when they arrived in Madison from Poland in 1853.
She also voted in all 22 presidential elections held since women were given the right to vote.

Mods I started a thread earlier today on Daniel Jeremiah's mock draft on NFL.com ,which had the Jets picking Werner at #9 overall. The thread had a few posts from others here, and was a generally healthy debate. My thread has been arbitrarily deleted, yet other draft related ones remain.
Even a few plainly frivolous threads are still on the landing strip.
May I ask why this is happening? For me personally it's a negative experience on one of the more enjoyable Jets related sites.
Second, draft talk is wicked boring.
Third, I wear women's underwear. Isn't that vied?
Your thread was snubbed.
Next use of the term 'snubbed' should get autobanned.
If there is one thing mods on here are lightning quick about it is moving anything with the word draft in it to the draft forum. you can have 20 awful threads full of idiotic bickering on totally irrelevant topics and they remain untouched but whisper.....draft....pick and the thing is gonzo alonzo.

Pelosi Remarks at United Auto Workers Conference
Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi delivered remarks this morning at the United Auto Workers (UAW) National Community Action Program (CAP) Legislative Conference. UAW delegates from across the country came to the legislative conference discuss the union's legislative and political priorities for the coming year and meet with Members of Congress to advocate on behalf of working families. Below are the Leader's remarks as prepared for delivery.
"Thank you UAW President Bob King!
"President King has been a champion of social justice for his entire career. He knows that the labor movement is part of the movement for social justice, and that the UAW is working on behalf of all workers – in America, and around the world.
"I would also like to acknowledge:
- The UAW's second-in-command, Secretary-Treasurer Dennis Williams
- Jim Wells, Director of Region 5, which includes my home state of California. Jim has led big successes in organizing student workers and postdoctoral researchers in the University of California system.
"I come here today to tell the UAW that Democrats know our most important job is to fight for American jobs.
"We prevented the country from falling into a Depression – Democrats took courageous votes to do so. Though some paid a price, they showed real political courage – and those courageous votes prevented the unemployment rate from reaching 16%!
"But that isn't enough. Much more needs to be done to open up the American dream and lift up the American economy. Much more needs to be done to solve the problems facing America's middle class.
"The only acceptable outcome is to fully and finally restore a fair prosperity for all Americans that good-paying jobs provide.
"We can do that by making it in America. The UAW knows that:
- 'Make it in America' means a thriving industrial, technological, and manufacturing base in our country as the cornerstone of a growing economy.
- 'Make it in America' means insisting that if China, and other nations, want a strong trading relationship with the United States, they must play by the rules.
- 'Make it in America,' means we create jobs, strengthen our middle class, and lead the world economy.
- When we 'Make it in America,' our workers can make it in America.
"'Make it in America' means a more innovative and globally competitive domestic auto industry.
"Our domestic auto industry was key to our rise as the world's leading manufacturing and economic power. Today, with new green technologies, innovation, and the strength of the American auto worker, we will continue to lead the world.
"Indeed all of you are essential to American economic security and national security.
"That is why, two years ago, the House passed emergency legislation to strengthen the auto industry and save good American jobs. Consider the results:
"For the auto industry: All three U.S. automakers are now back in the black;
"For the American worker: We saved nearly 1.5 million American jobs; many workers are receiving profit-sharing checks, and those who lost their jobs are getting back to work: Ford just announced last week that they plan to hire 7,000 new employees.
"And for the American taxpayer: A $13.5 billion profit with GM's recent IPO;
"House Democrats and the UAW agree: we want American cars to lead the world and the new green economy. That's why the Recovery Act included $69 billion to develop advanced battery and electric vehicle technology and train Americans for green jobs in renewable energy and advanced technology automobile manufacturing.
"You are building the cars that American want to buy. We saw that with the Cash for Clunkers initiative, which was successful beyond our wildest dreams. When families traded in their gas-guzzlers for new, more fuel-efficient vehicles, the results were remarkable: 60,000 American jobs created or saved; 700,000 vehicles sold; and economic growth of up to $6.8 billion.
"Essential to America's continued economic growth is protecting our signature accomplishment: health care reform.
"This time last year, we were engaged in the fight of our lives; we could not have done it without the UAW.
"Many of us were inspired by the leadership of Senator Ted Kennedy, who, before his death, called health care reform the 'great unfinished business of our society.'
"Ted Kennedy was our inspiration, but his inspiration, as he said many times, was Walter Reuther.
"From the earliest days of the UAW, you have been advocating for health care for all Americans.
"That's why Ted Kennedy said, 'I'll think of Walter Reuther when we finally get the President to sign a health care bill – and make no mistake, we will get it.'
"To pass health care, you flew into action: making calls, activating your enormous retiree base, and lobbying your representatives.
"We need you to do so again.
"While Democrats work to create jobs, Republicans today are trying to repeal health care. You know what this means: repealing patients' rights; putting insurance companies back in charge; and ballooning the deficit.
"Republicans want to take us back to a system where:
- Children with pre-existing conditions can be denied coverage.
- Young people age 26 can't stay on their parents' plans.
- Pregnant women and breast and prostate cancer patients could be thrown off the insurance rolls.
- Seniors pay more for their drugs.
- The deficit increases by $230 billion.
- Small businesses pay higher taxes.
"We call on the UAW again: make your voice heard. Join us as we stand against repeal and for creating jobs. This will be a long-term effort, and we need you to be the cavalry, storming Capitol Hill.
"Tomorrow, we will honor the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's inauguration – a time of great optimism for our nation.
"I come before you today with the same optimism. Together, we will stand strong for the American people. Together, we will continue the progress we have made. Together, we will pursue an agenda rooted in the belief – as President Kennedy said – that unions hold 'responsibilities not only to the laboring people of this country, but…to all our citizens.'
"Thank you, UAW, for strengthening our economy! Thank you, UAW, for strengthening our middle class! Thank you, UAW, for strengthening our nation!
"May God bless the UAW. May God bless America."

Above: Dinner began with delicate marinated trout and raw shrimp. People are often surprised by how much fish and seafood you eat in Piedmont, which lies just an hour to an hour-and-a-half drive from the sea.
The last restaurant meal I had in Italy in 2012 was at the cozy Trattoria la Coccinella in the village of Serravalle Langhe, the "other" Langa, about a twenty-minute drive southeast from Monforte, beyond the gilded radius of Barolo and Barbaresco.
Above: First wine of the night was the Giuseppe Rinaldi 2010 Langhe Nebbiolo. Folks here don't mind pairing red wine with seafood and the lightness and bright acidity of this wine was great with the raw shrimp.
The village is at the center of the Alta Langa (upper Langa) appellation where a handful of producers make classic method sparkling wine.
But it lies just far enough away from the epicenter of Nebbiololand to take the edge off the high stakes of Alba-world dining.
Above: The onion was salted and stuffed with a light chicken liver sautée before being roasted.
Giovanni (aka man, the English-language appellative we use with each other), Ferdinando (aka man), and I were there on a Saturday night and the place was packed with locals, including a boisterous high-school reunion for the over-sixty crowd and lots of groups of young people enjoying their weekend night out for dinner.
Above: I just had to have the tajarin… no frills, just classic trattoria cooking, Piedmont style.
I love visiting Langa. But sometimes the competitive dining scene there can be a bit oppressive.
It was so fun to just be…
Above: The 2008 Barolo by Bartolo Mascarello is going through a period of youthful grace and was very generous with its fruit. What a pleasure to drink that wine! I imagine it will "shut down" shortly. But it was singing that night.
La Coccinella was my second-to-last meal in Italy in 2012 (my last repast was in Milan at the home of good friends).
The food was great (the prices middle-class friendly) and I highly recommend the restaurant.
But the best part was just being somewhere where affectation is a foreign language.


text: This article is brilliant. I've been thinking about similar stuff for a while now as I have way too many distractions in my working environment – some I can't do anything about, but the ones I can I really should. Guess I know what my 2011 resolution is then :)

Premier fobs off early poll whispers
The Tasmanian Premier is insisting there are no plans to call an early election, as her minority government struggles to revive the state economy.
The latest outlook from Deloitte Access Economics says Tasmania's economic indicators are "awash in a sea of red ink" and any growth hinges on a fall in the Australian dollar.
The report also says it is hard to find any areas of growth, the total value of engineering construction works has hit its lowest level in 10 years and the pace of spending has nosedived.
Shadow Treasurer Peter Gutwein says Tasmania is lagging in all economic indicators compared with other states facing the same pressures.
"We're the one state that's going backwards on the majority of indicators and the reason being is that this Green-Labor minority government is failing the state," Mr Gutwein said.
The Premier, Lara Giddings, rejects the comparison, saying the Deloitte outlook shows the big issues affecting the economy are out of her government's control.
But the Premier says she readily acknowledges that more needs to be done to strengthen the economy, and the $25 million jobs package is a good start.
"We've obviously got some challenging times that we've had to face and the best way that we can work through those is together and through stimulus like this that we're providing through the jobs package."
The ABC has been told the State Government is considering going to the polls early, weighing up two dates later in the year.
But Ms Giddings says there are no plans for an election in 2013.
"The only Government going to an election in 2013 is the Federal Government, the state election is not due until March 2014 and that's what we're aiming to go to," the Premier said.
Greens leader Nick McKim has also dismissed suggestions of an early state election.
Mr McKim says the Premier has made it clear there will be no early poll.
"You only have to look through historic wreckages in electoral terms to see that people will punish governments that don't go full term and I truly believe that people generally want to see governments go full term, and they want their politicians to do the job they were elected to do, and to do it for the life of the parliament."
Jobs package spend
The Premier travelled to Devonport to announce a round of spending from the jobs package to upgrade neighbourhood houses throughout the state.
"With the $2 million program, we expect to see about 30 jobs created across the state," she said.
"It's part of a larger package designed to inject life into Tasmania's struggling economy."
Some of the money will be spent on improving the kitchen at the Devonport Community House.
The centre's manager, Kate Beer, says the house is a meeting place for people who are often from low socio-economic backgrounds.
"They're bit more of a home-type atmosphere than a commercial kitchen or even an education-type atmosphere, so that's a real bonus for us so that we're able to attract the people that actually are harder to get into your service generally."
"So that's what we are really hoping for," she said.
The Government's pre-election budget is now less than four months away.

MEADOW VISTA, Calif. (April 20, 2013) – Oklahoma Christian freshman Sam Johnston shot a sizzling 4-under-par 68 and seized a two-shot lead on Saturday during the second round of the Winchester Classic at Winchester Country Club.
OC, a late entry for the tournament filled with nine NCAA Division I schools, also had a second candidate for medalist honors in senior Vilhelm Bogstrand, who shot a second-round 71 and was tied for second with Glen Scher of California-Santa Barbara.
The Eagles moved up a spot in the team race as a result. OC posted a team score of 292 and was tied for third with Long Beach State at 586, eight shots behind the leader, tournament co-host California-Davis. California State-Fullerton was second, four shots behind Cal-Davis. First-round leader Cal-Santa Barbara fell to fifth at 589.
Johnston posted a 32 on the front nine on the 7,144-yard course in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in northern California, recording four birdies along the way. Through 15 holes he was at 8-under for the tournament before a bogey on the par-4 No. 16 and a double bogey on No. 17 brought him back to the field.
Bogstrand closed his round with three straight birdies to post his second straight under-par round and stay in contention.
OC's other senior, Logan Herbst, shot a 73 – an eight-shot improvement over his first-round score – and was tied for 36th in the 59-man field at 154. Alasdair Dalgliesh's 80 left him at 157, tied for 41st, while Taylor Williams struggled and posted a 91, putting him in 53rd place at 167.
The tournament will conclude Sunday.

The Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation (MoFSC) aims to design a Programme Document to assist in proper conservation, development and management of the natural resources of Churia region in an integrated and sustainable manner. Government is also in the process of finalizing the Churia Conservation Strategy.
An Inception Workshop to formulate Project Document on "Integrated Natural Resource Conservation and Management in Churia" has been jointly convened by the Government of Nepal, Ministry of Forests and Soil Conservation (MoFSC), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Kathmandu today.
The main objective of the workshop was to attain suggestions among all partners and concerned stakeholders on objectives, activities, output, outcomes, adopted approaches and methodologies while formulating the Project Document.
Around 50 participants including high level representatives from different government agencies, national and international non-governmental organizations, academicians, consultants and different concerned stakeholders passionately participated in the workshop.
"This project is highly relevant and timely for Nepal and with combined effort it can be a unique example of national expertise", said Bharat Pudasaini in his welcome remarks. "The Churia programme is also important for national integrity which connects upstream mid-hills and downstream Terai region and with the help of this noble project around 50% of the total population will be benefited", he added.
Dr. Yam Malla, Country Representative of IUCN emphasized Churia as a national priority issue and pointed out the need of strong partnership at the local level for the effective and efficient implementation of the programme. "IUCN is obliged for providing technical assistance on this national interest and will give its full effort for the timely completion of work. The outcomes and findings of the project will also valuable for the government's upcoming periodic plan", he said.
Addressing the ceremony, FAO Assistant Representative for Nepal Dr. Binod Shah said "FAO is excited to work for the conservation and management of Churia region and we are not only supporting for the formulation of the Project Document but also interested to backing for its full implementation".
Highlighting the importance of the programme, chair of the session and Joint Secretary of MoFSC, Mr. Harihar Sigdel said, "There is a need of an intervention that not only integrates the various efforts but also synchronizes ongoing and potential development activities into an integrated and holistic Churia programme. The upcoming Project Document will certainly fulfill the gaps."
The inauguration programme was followed by technical presentation and plenary discussion sessions on potential project site selection criteria, Churia issues and way forward to addressing them. The workshop concluded an initial consultation phase which provided inputs from all major partners and stakeholders to develop a common understanding about the goals, objectives and working modality for preparing Project Document. The Project document is envisaged to be a guiding Document for activities to be undertaken in Churia region as well as addressing the trans-boundary issues related to conservation of the area.
Churia region is important from ecological, social, economic and political perspective of Nepal. Serving as the water reserve for Terai region and the northern part of India, Churia is critical for both national economy and integrity. Spread from the east to the west and covering some 13% of total area of the country, Churia, together with the Bhabar and Terai regions involve approximately 60% of the country's total population. With nearly 60% of the Churia under forest cover and rich in biodiversity, it is alarming that the region is considered vulnerable to natural disasters such as landslides, erosions, and flood and climate change impacts. Per the estimates, 6.5 million cubic metre of gravel, stones and sands are legally extracted every year from the region and the illegal extractions are expected to be twice as much. One of the major drivers of negative human impact is accelerated migration into the forested areas of Churia region. Annual deforestation rates are estimated to be 1.7% in the Churia region. Additionally, the level of awareness about the environmental degradation and causal effect of the human induced and natural disasters is low among the local communities of the Churia region.

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) — Montgomery County police are identifying a Gaithersburg man who died after officers used electronic stun guns to subdue him.
Police identified the man Tuesday as Anthony Howard, 51. Officers responded Friday evening after a 911 caller reported a man was yelling profanities, striking a parked truck with rocks and crawling on other vehicles.
The officers used their stun guns after police say Howard refused to leave the front porch of a home, where he used a child's scooter to strike the front door. They say he was not stopped by pepper spray.
After police handcuffed Howard, they saw that he wasn't breathing and performed CPR, but he died at an area hospital.
The five officers involved were placed on routine administrative leave. The cause of Howard's death remains unclear.

The town recently acquired the $60,000 military vehicle at no cost.
SWANSEA — If this Humvee could talk ...
Perhaps it would have war stories to tell, tales of foreign lands, maybe even stories of bravery and survival.
The Swansea Police Department recently acquired the vehicle at no cost. Worth about $60,000, it was produced in 1986 and completely refurbished about a decade ago. Its last owner was a war general.
Swansea police Sgt. Daniel Lowney said he put in a request for the vehicle through a government surplus program and was granted the Humvee. The department had to show need, he said.
"It has just 5,000 miles on it," Lowney said.
Students in Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School's auto-body program have been taking the "war" out of the vehicle and adapting it to police work for the last couple of months.
The kids cut the top of the vehicle and removed the turret, from which a soldier would have fired his weapon while being shielded from incoming fire. Students in metal fabrication fitted a piece of steel on top of the vehicle, according to Clifford Ashton, who heads the auto collision, repair and refinishing program at Diman.
Students removed everything from the Humvee, including the windows, and painted the camouflage vehicle white. They also did some rewiring.
"It was hard, but we got to learn a lot of new things," said sophomore auto-body student Crystal Ribeiro, of Fall River. "It was interesting."
Sophomore Kyle Cordeiro, of Westport, said he "loved it." He said he worked on vehicles before, "but not a Humvee."
Lowney said a vinyl sticker emblazoned with the words "Swansea Police" will be affixed to the vehicle.
He said the department will use it for accident reconstruction and special operations. The department has a couple of other Humvees, also acquired from government surplus. Lowney said they work well in storms and can also be used for rescue operations.
"I couldn't get it stuck in the last blizzard," Lowney said.
The department paid only to have the vehicle towed to the department for $375, and put up roughly $500 in painting supplies. Diman donated the labor.
"It's cost effective," Lowney said. "It didn't cost the town anything."
While it is obviously a benefit to the town of Swansea, the Diman auto-body students benefited from a unique assignment.
"It gives them real-world experience and a sense of giving back to the community," Diman Superintendent-Director Marta Montleon said. "And, they're working on a Humvee, it's got to be fun."

On June 6, 1983, John Savage graduated from Reno High and became the New York Yankees' sixth-round draft pick. On June 6, 1986, after a collegiate career at Santa Clara, he was plucked out of the 16th round by the Cincinnati Reds. On June 6, 1992, he was married at Our Lady of the Snows, a red-bricked Reno church that hosted a crowd of about 400 — an unintended coincidence, he insists with a laugh.
But it wasn't until six years later that Savage, now nearing a decade as UCLA's head baseball coach, noticed the odd chronology. Then in his second season as USC's pitching coach, he found himself in Omaha celebrating a national championship. June 6, 1998.
"That's when it became apparent that day was special to me," he says.
As June 6 rolls by again, another national championship is perhaps the only hole left on his stellar resume — the bulk of which he's built in Westwood. Continue reading "John Savage's path to UCLA paved by work and chance" »

Tolkien Estate Sues Over Lord of the Rings Slot Machines 211
An anonymous reader writes "The Tolkien Estate has filed an $80 million copyright infringement lawsuit in U.S. District Court over the use of Lord of the Rings slot machines. The complaint hinges on a contract between the estate and Warner Bros. which allows the creation of LotR merchandise but not LotR 'intangibles,' like the experience of playing a slot machine game. According to the estate (PDF), 'Not only does the production of gambling games patently exceed the scope of defendants' rights, but this infringing conduct has outraged Tolkien's devoted fan base, causing irreparable harm to Tolkien's legacy and reputation and the valuable goodwill generated by his works.'"

"Thumbs up! We do fondue for New Years eve, but since several family members are not crazy about traditional cheese fondue, we tried this recipe. This was a hit with everyone and I thought it stayed smoother than other fondues I have made. I wasn't sure what kind of cheddar to use, so ended up using Boar's head Vermont Cheddar and I was very happy with it. We served it with toasted rye and french bread, lightly roasted mini peppers and mushrooms and broccoli."
"Very yummy and easy to make. Have made it a few times and always a hit"
"Very tastey!!! Stuck with a mild cheddar so you can taste the beer!! :) good crowd pleaser!"
"It took me awhile to get the temperature right for the fondue pot, but once that was done, this was a great hit! I warmed the bread for a few minutes, and then finished it when my guests arrived. Being warm made a big difference. When you are from Wisconsin, what better ingredients can you ask for..BEER AND CHEESE!!"
"This is the best fondue I have made. I am not a fan of the traditional swiss fondue, so this one was great for us. Kids loved it too, this is a keeper! Thanks for the great recipe, it's fast and easy!"
"Yummy! Worked great in our fondue pot.~ Theresa"
"Add some fresh ground pepper and I had a recipe from our favorite fondue place!"
"I'm trying to give this recipe 5 stars, and there is something wrong, it won't let me go past 3. This recipe is great. We love it!"
"This is a game day favorite! Very easy and delicious!"

LONGMONT -- Jeffrey Justice believes a new Colorado law that requires law enforcement agencies to train its officers to deal with dogs to help curb shootings is a good one, but that it can't be implemented soon enough.
The Longmont man wants agencies to get a head start on a 2015 deadline to have officers trained and has reached out to chiefs and protested departments that have had officers shoot dogs during calls to draw more attention to the issue.
The Colorado Legislature this year passed the Colorado Dog Protection Act, which requires police departments and sheriff's offices to arrange training for officers and deputies so they can better read dog behavior. The law is aimed at helping officers who encounter dogs during their calls to better assess the danger and the necessity to use force to protect themselves or others.
Justice testified in support of the bill.
On Tuesday, Justice spent part of his morning protesting outside of the Adams County Sheriff's Office Headquarters in Brighton because one of its deputies fatally shot a dog after arriving at the wrong address on a burglary call. The Adams County District Attorney declined to file charges against the deputy in the widely publicized case, citing an investigation that concluded the dog charged.
Justice was not moved to activism by personal experience, but by media coverage of cases like the Adams County shooting and others across the country. One Texas shooting included video captured on an officer's dash cam.
Justice, who is a dog owner, took time to research officer-involved dog shootings and concluded that most are not reasonable. Along with injuring or killing an animal, he said, the officers are often risking injury to others in the area. While Longmont has not had any officer-involved dog shootings, he said the department should launch training as soon as possible to prevent an incident.
"All it takes is one scene," he said. "It takes just one thing to happen."
He has spoken twice to the City Council and written Longmont Public Safety Chief Mike Butler to encourage early steps to get officers trained ahead of the 2015 deadline. He has not personally received any response.
Dacono Police Chief Brian Skaggs said he doesn't know if the training would have prevented the May 2 shooting of a loose pit bull in May, but he believes any training in the area will help officers on the streets.
He said that in May, a resident called to report the dog was jumping at her fence and trying to get at her two dogs. Skaggs said when an officer arrived, the pit bull charged the officer, who shot it. The wound was not fatal and the dog was taken to an emergency animal hospital in Longmont, Skaggs said.
He said he has already sought out free online training for police officers to help them better understand canine body language and behaviors.
Justice has been in contact with Skaggs and he said he is satisfied with the chief's response.
Acting Sgt. Gregg Ferrill, who is in charge of arranging the required training for the Longmont Police Department, said he expects training for officers in 2014 after a state task force develops criteria for officer training.
"Once they get the curriculum they will send it out to us," he said. "Everyone will be trained by 2015."
The Boulder County Sheriff's Office has had sporadic training, but animal control officer Sara Spensieri said she is working on a use-of-force training session specific to animals.
"We're definitely keeping up on this," she said.
The training will include body language cues for dogs and behaviors that indicate biting behavior, much of which she already had outlined in an earlier version of the training. Under the proposed force policy -- which is set for review in August by office sergeants and commanders -- deadly force would be allowed if the deputy "reasonably believes such action is immediately necessary to protect the deputy or officer another person or animal from imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury," she said.
She said the sheriff's office training can be tweaked if state requirements handed down later require different standards.
Spensieri said she is glad the law was enacted.
"I have been trying to push this for years and it is just nice that the legislative people made it happen," she said. "You want your officers to behave and be educated and be upstanding in the community,"

When Lola started losing fur around her ear, her owners realized she needed to see the vet.
But Jeffrey Newell knows getting any of his 6 cats to the doctor's office is a struggle.
"You got to hunt down the cat, like pull it out from under the bed. You get little battle wounds trying to get them in there."
That's where veterinarian Karen Heard and her assistant, April Kelly, come in. They make house calls making it easier for owners and their pets.
"They're more willing to accept you and put up with a little bit of discomfort if their surroundings are familiar," Heard said.
More and more owners are opting for house calls. Dr. Heard's practice has more than doubled in the last year.
The most common house-calls are for regular check-ups and routine vaccines, but vets say they can provide just about any service with a few exceptions.
"Surgery or anything that requires a general anesthetic can't really be done in the house call setting."
As for Lola, the doctor determined an infection is likely causing her hair loss. She gave her a shot of medication and prescribed an ointment.
The house call cost Lola's owners an extra $100 over a regular office visit, but Newell says the convenience is worth it.
"It seems like a no brainer!"
And if the infection doesn't clear up soon, Dr. Heard says she'll be right back on Lola's door step.
Some veterinarians believe house calls are an especially good option for very young and very old pets, since they may not have the best immunity to fight off diseases that could be circulating at the doctor's office.

After returning to the practice field on Wednesday, Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III said he feels good about making a quick return from the knee injury he suffered on Sunday.
"I did enough to give myself the confidence to push it tomorrow and on Friday," Griffin said, via CSNWashington.com. "It's just about getting confidence back in it. And I plan on getting confidence back in it relatively quickly."
Griffin said his injured knee has rapidly improved.
"It's gotten better every day, which is a positive sign for me," he said. "Sunday night I thought there was probably no chance that I could play the next week. Monday morning I felt better about it. Yesterday, I felt better about it. And today, I feel really good about it. It just depends on whether I continue to progress the way that I am."
Both Griffin and Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said they don't want to force the Browns to prepare for both Griffin and backup Kirk Cousins on Sunday, and therefore they're not going to tell the Browns whether Griffin is ready to play. But Griffin sure sounds ready.

DURHAM, N.C. – The Duke women's rowing team hosted its annual Row for the Cure event Friday on Duke's West Campus quad to raise money for breast cancer research and awareness in partnership with Komen for the Cure.
The Blue Devils spent 12 hours on ergs in the middle of one of the highest foot traffic areas on campus, urging their fellow Duke students to donate money and buy Duke Row for the Cure tank-tops. All money raised will be donated to Komen for the Cure.
The 2013 edition of Row for the Cure was Duke's seventh straight year hosting the event. The team has raised over $50,000 since the inaugural campaign and has raised over $5,000 online before this year's event began Friday.
The team is still accepting donations online at http://www.crowdrise.com/fundraise_and_volunteer/the-team/rowforthecure.

I recently had a backwashing system installed for a well. I have an acid neutralizer and and a softener. Inbetween the two is a Culligan HF-360. I was told that the Acid Neutralizer would get rid of some of the sediment and that the Culligan unit would do the rest and protect the softener. The problem is that the Culligan cartridge gets clogged up after only two weeks of limited use. When changing out the cartridge, I found it clogged with clay/silt which I had to dig out. Would a different cartridge make a difference or a differently sized canister or would a backwashing unit with chemsorb be a better less maintenance intensive solution?
I do have another question: can I use a 20" housing (longer) for the Culligan or do I need to install a new unit and will this help to solve my problem?

As they have for more than eight years, Jake and Jesse Bernhardt will both be taking the field together at Selby Stadium this Saturday but for the first time ever on opposite sides of the ball. These two lacrosse fanatic brothers have played on the same sideline ever since high school and are now the first brothers to ever face off against each other during their rookie seasons in Major League Lacrosse.
"This is the first time we have actually had the chance to go up against each other on opposite teams and we're looking forward to seeing who can bring home the win," said Jake Bernhardt.
The Bernhardt brothers, who are also the first Florida-born players to play in MLL, both started making names for themselves after high school at the University of Maryland where Jake, the eldest of the brothers, started in 2009 followed by Jesse in 2010. From 2010-2011, the brothers played in 34 games together and helped the Terps win the program's first ACC Championship since 2005 when the team walked away with the 2011 ACC Championship title. They also helped lead the team to the program's first NCAA Championship game since 1998 when they took on University of Virginia in 2011 but lost 9-7 to the Cavaliers.
In what was supposed to be his final season as a Terp, Jake suffered a preseason injury in 2012 forcing him to redshirt his senior year and to rejoin the Terps for the 2013 season.So the brothers joined forces for one last season in 2013, playing in every game together and helping lead the Terps to a 10-4 season and an appearance in the 2013 NCAA Tournament. During the three seasons and 48 games the brothers played together, they put up 71 points from 51 goals and 20 assists, plus scooped up 199 groundballs.
"People ask what my favorite memory was playing with Jesse but I don't have just one – it's all the seasons we played together at Maryland," said Jake. "Getting hurt during my senior season was a blessing in disguise because it gave me the opportunity to stay for another year and play together. And I know at least for my Mom it was too. Not too many people can say they were able to do what we did so we know we are lucky to have been given that opportunity."
After finishing their impressive college tenures, the brothers set their sights on the next step in lacrosse and joined MLL. Jake was picked up by the Ohio Machine through a trade with the Hamilton Nationals, who drafted him 12th Overall in the 2012 Collegiate Draft and retained his rights after his injury. Jesse was drafted by the Chesapeake Bayhawks 4th Overall in the 2013 Collegiate Draft. Both brothers have played in games for their respective teams this season and now each has his sights set on a win for his own team at the expense of the other this coming Saturday.
But even with the brothers going up against each other for the first time, the Bernhardt family members are staying neutral on this game. "We don't really talk about it much or really focus on it unless my little brother gets mad at one of us and tells us the other team is going to win," said Jake.
Be sure to come out to Selby Stadium this Saturday, July 6th, at 7:30 p.m. to see this brotherly battle between the Bernhardts when the Machine takes on the 2012 MLL Champions Chesapeake Bayhawks. And don't forget about the $2 Beer Specials!

He said it was based on a "detailed recalculation" following a judge's sentencing of Anthony for lying to authorities about the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee. The 25-year-old Anthony was acquitted by a jury Tuesday of killing her daughter. Judge Belvin Perry on Thursday gave her the maximum sentence of four years for four convictions of lying to authorities. He denied a defense request to combine the misdemeanor counts, which could have made her eligible for immediate release.

LPGA books Portland again, but tourney still needs sponsor
Portland is on the LPGA schedule for 2014, but tournament officials still must nail down a sponsor.
On paper, the event is being listed as the Portland Classic, and it is booked for Aug. 28-31 at Columbia Edgewater Country Club.
Last year, as the Safeway Classic, the event was played for the 42nd consecutive year under a one-year sponsorship deal.
"We're still in discussions with Safeway and other sponsor candidates," says Tom Maletis, president of Tournament Golf Foundation, which runs the tourney. "It could be a big local company, and we've talked to national and international companies, because the tour has really turned international."
Maletis says "we're probably not going to have anything finalized for four to eight weeks."
He adds: "I'm confident in our efforts moving forward, but until we get the actual sponsor signed everything else is in place with the LPGA and with Columbia Edgewater.
"We've been in this situation since 2010 with these one-year extensions, and we've always been able to come through."
The Portland tournament would be 72 holes for the second year in a row, with a Wednesday pro-am.
Same drill as last year and same spot on the LPGA calendar.
The Portland 2014 event would take place one week after the new Canadian Pacific Women's Open in London, Ontario, and two weeks prior to the Evian Championship, the LPGA's fifth major, in France.
Maletis says the timing of the 2014 tourney would work fine again.
"I was very pleased with our field last year, and I think we'd have another outstanding field again this year," he says. "The week off after our event really helps the players have enough time to get over to France."
If the tournament returns to Portland in 2015, however, it is likely to shift back to mid-August.
"We'd like to get away from a college football weekend," Maletis says, "but because of certain commitments, we'll stay in the same slot in 2014."
The 2014 college football season in Oregon opens Aug. 30 with Oregon tentatively at home against South Dakota, and with Oregon State scheduled to play host to Portland State.
The LPGA's 2014 calendar includes 32 events, counting Portland. That's four more than last year.
Prize money is up also, from $48.8 million in 2013 to $56.3 million.
Three of the new events will be in the United States -- in Daly City, Calif., Grand Rapids, Mich., and Prattville, Ala.
Nine of the circuit's 2014 events will be in Asia, and two will be in Europe.
The season kicks off with the Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic Jan. 23-26.

Tower Center (map)
Tomohito Shinoda, Professor and Director, Research Institute, International University of Japan
Decentralized policy-making power in Japan had developed under the long reign of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). In the1990s, institutional changes were introduced, fundamentally altering Japan's modern political landscape. This talk tracks these slow yet steady changes to today in the operation of and tensions between Japan's political parties and the public's behavior in Japanese elections, as well as in the government's ability to coordinate diverse policy preferences and respond to political crises. Electoral reform in 1994 resulted in the selection of Junichiro Koizumi, an anti-mainstream politician, as prime minister in 2001, initiating a power shift to the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) and ending LDP rule. This talk also details these government and administrative institutional changes and reveals how Prime Minister Koizumi took advantage of such developments to practice strong policymaking leadership. It also outlines the new set of institutional initiatives introduced by the DPJ government and their impact on policymaking, illustrating the importance of balanced centralized institutions and bureaucratic support.

Talk:Myths in GTA IV
| This talk page is for discussing the Myths in GTA IV article.
This includes commenting on the article, questioning whether it is correct, or adding suggestions for improvements
Questions about GTA games, not about the wiki page itself, should be asked at Community:Questions.Remember to always add your signature to the end of your comments/replies using four tildes:

Definetly, whales have different tails
No its not helicopter. I tried a lot. It also cant be a shadow i checked. It is a glitch or a real killer shark. Doesnt loook like a whale
This page isn't very good in its current state. I don't know anything really about myths in gta iv, but it should be moved to GTA IV Myths (capital) for one, and the heart in the statue of happiness isn't really a myth, its confirmed. However some myths that are mentioned elsewhere, such as Ratman, are not included. I would do something, but as I said I know very little about the subject. It should be fixed or deleted. I don't know if there are enough myths in gta iv to warrant its own page. Thoughts? Hbriz 07:49, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
- I moved the page, not just for capitalisation, but consistency (Myths in GTA IV not GTA IV Myths). The page probably should stay, it is something that people are interested in, but it does need ALOT of work (cleanup/expansion)! Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 09:37, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
- I fixed the intro (well, copied it from Myths in GTA San Andreas), but I will leave the rest to someone else, as just like you, I don't know much about Myths! Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 09:47, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Possible proof of Ratman?

Really a demon is haunting Niko i doubt it highly and he does not look as if he is haunted by demons nor is the demons making his life a misery so i think the demons bit most likely does not explain anything. user--Stephendwan 10:52, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

While i was exploring the aparment (with Six Stars) an officer appeared out of nowhere. He pointed his gun at me but did not fire. He was paler than the other policemen, almost white. He then disapeared. I cant recall whether he appeared as a blip on the radar. I was then shot by an actual officer and i died.

In such situations, you make the best of the hand you've got realizing better hands await.
Such is life for the nationally ranked Ohio State Buckeyes, who host massive underdog Florida A&M on Saturday for a noon kickoff at Ohio Stadium.
Depending on where you look, the 3-0 Buckeyes are anywhere from a 50- to a 57-point favorite over the 1-2 Rattlers.
Count OSU senior defensive back Christian Bryant among those who wishes Ohio State was playing someone else on Saturday.
"I would like to play bigger games, but I mean, it's really out of our control," Bryant said. "I'm not really sure who makes the schedule, but we still just have to go out there and face whatever team is put in front of us."
This one — Florida A&M — is coming off back-to-back losses to Tennessee State and Samford.
The Rattlers have some NFL-type talent in their program, but the playing days of head coach Earl Holmes and assistants Levon Kirkland and Corey Fuller are way past their prime.
"I mean, we know the type of opponent we're about to face this upcoming Saturday," Bryant said. "But that really doesn't give us any reason to lay off or slow down any of our tempo. In practice, we're still going to go out there and practice like we're facing a top-10 opponent."
Chalk Week 4 up as "Ohio State vs. Itself."
The Buckeyes prepared throughout the week by pushing themselves in practice to improve.
Coach Urban Meyer said he and his staff were going to do everything in their power this week to ensure Ohio State wasn't flat-out looking past Florida A&M.
"It does make a difference," Meyer said of caliber of opponents. "I could give you some coach-speak, but (the opponent) does make a difference."
Nothing looks worse on a BCS resume than a loss to a member of the FCS Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
"These players are smarter than the coaches, so we need to do a very good job of coaching them and not looking past a team," Meyer said. "You see it all the time, there's going to be one (upset) every year, maybe two, and there can't be one this week."
Meyer did his due diligence scouting the Rattlers. Quarterback Damien Fleming has thrown for 383 yards, and his pair of receivers — including Lennon Lenworth (14 catches, 229 yards) caught Meyers' eye.
"I see two receivers with excellent speed," Meyer said. "And their quarterback was an all-conference performer (last season)."
Florida A&M's defense gives up 21 points and 321 yards of offense per game — in a very risky manner.
"They blitz every down," Meyer said. "They're a 3-4 with four or five men coming at you. You'd look silly if you're not protecting the quarterback or the front side of the run game."
Ohio State welcomes back running back Carlos Hyde from a three-game suspension. Quarterback Braxton Miller, who has missed nearly two full games with a sprained knee, was expected to play as of Thursday night.
It's the closest Ohio State has come to having its full complement of players since the season started.
With so many hands on deck, Meyer anticipates competition among his team to get better will be great.
Even if it is against an FCS opponent.
"I'm anxious right now," Meyer said. "I think there's a good culture in this program of — to earn playing time, to earn touches, to earn catches, to earn throws; to earn anything — you have to perform very well in practice and that's all I care about.
"I don't want to say (the Rattlers) are faceless opponents, because they are not."
But they are gargantuan underdogs — one of the largest in recent OSU history.
The Buckeyes open the Big Ten season next Saturday against Wisconsin. It will be a prime-time, nationally televised kickoff.
Ohio State has won 15 games in a row.
The team is nationally ranked.
This, Meyer warned, is not the time to take someone lightly.
He knows what he wants to see Saturday.
"A clean, fast (game), competitive spirit and to win the game," Meyer said.

HUNTLEY – A $12 million expansion of Huntley High School likely will begin this summer with renovation of athletic fields, including a built-in irrigation system and new, synthetic turf for football.
The expansion to address crowded classrooms, hallways and common areas will not include some big-ticket items, such as a new swimming pool and field house.
District 158 officials also have ruled out building a second high school, saying that a price tag of at least $60 million would be too costly for a student population that has stopped growing at the feverish pace administrators projected a decade ago.
"The bottom line is we are using predictions based on what kids are here now," Superintendent John Burkey said. "It wouldn't be responsible at all to go down that road of building another school. It's more about what's going on in the school."
The district has sketched out a busy year of expansion. The board met Thursday to endorse a $36,250 contract with architects from Wold in Palatine.
The architects will sketch possible interior and exterior improvements the district can afford with its $12 million expansion budget.
Officials expect to award construction bids for field improvements by April, board documents show.
In the early 2000s, the Huntley-based district of about 9,000 students projected enrollment one day would reach 15,000 students. But the economic downturn slowed Huntley's population boom.
Using current elementary enrollment, the district now projects the high school will exceed 3,000 students by 2019.
The high school, Burkey said, has gone through minor expansions to accommodate the current enrollment of about 2,450 students. It originally was constructed in the mid-1990s as a combination middle school and high school.
A year and a half ago, the district formed a panel of high school administrators and teachers to study the building's physical and programming needs for a larger student population.
The panel revealed its wish list in a three-hour presentation last week, citing the need for wider hallways, more parking, a larger cafeteria, flexible library space and classrooms equipped with technology.
But athletic fields will come first.
Burkey said the school's athletic venues were last renovated in 1999. Fields for baseball, softball and soccer need an irrigation system, he said, and synthetic turf and more seating for football would allow the school to attract more fans and use the field for multiple purposes.
"There's been nothing done out there since the school has been opened. It's something we have to address," Burkey said. "It's basically weeds is what the fields are."
Amenities such as a larger swimming pool and indoor field house will have to wait. The two facilities combined would cost upward of $18 million, which would exceed the district's expansion budget that uses a state construction grant.
District officials, though, are talking with the Huntley Park District about splitting costs on a potential field house used by both entities.
"If there is a way to share costs, it might be doable," Burkey said. "But a field house by itself, we can't afford."

Steve Leslie has rejoined Hereford on a month-long loan deal from Shrewsbury.
The winger spent the final two months of last season at Edgar Street, making 11 appearances and scoring twice as he helped preserve the club's npower League Two status.
Leslie has now returned to Herefordshire and will link up with the Bulls' new director of football Gary Peters, who handed the now 23-year-old his first-team debut in 2006 when manager of Shrewsbury.
Leslie signed a new contract at the Greenhous Meadow in the summer but has found his chances limited so far this season, making just one start in the club's Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat at Walsall.
He goes straight into Hereford's squad for Saturday's trip to Swindon.

Beauty Parlor: A place where women curl up and dye.
I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?
Ugliness is in a way superior to beauty because it lasts.
Okay, i'm done now...
v no, i'm much more beautiful than Ink-e will ever be!
Inky is the definition of beauty. <3

I can see bones, regardless of whether they're outside or inside.

Never wanted to see underwear- those things are stanky! But bones are cool.
They kinda just sit there and be all.... 'im white and hard yo'. There are more interesting things to play with in humans!
Yeah, I know.. but I really like eating ribs too, so it's very fascinating.. I mean, I never really see humans anyway, just their bones and stuff so I find it hard to find anything else interesting.

Idk lol
I have a friend who is really ugly but I think they they are so fucking beautiful because I love them.
If you hate someone even tho they are so damn beautiful, in your eyes they are so damn ugly no matter what so yeah
well umm..
Beauty is the embodiment of all things that touch the heart (except for the aorta). Let me rephrase that.
Beauty, in my opinion, is the visual representation of one's appreciation of an object. Beauty is only present in objects that we truly appreciate and/or understand. That sports car on the otherside of the road is only truly "beautiful" to people who have an interest in cars. Everyone else just picks up on the pattern of the "looks" and goes with it. Just like how Angel Beats made a lot of us cry and yet, if shown to normal people, would just be another "cartoon" . But yeah, hope that made sense.

Everything natural no plastic surgery or any type of surgery to make yourself look more attractive or sexy and no cake face either...natural beauty is what in my opinion counts
A woman's butt is where the heart (♥) shaped originally came from. Whoever thought that really knows what ones looking at.

my definition of beauty is someone who is physically attractive, I don't mean to sound shallow but if I don't think your good looking it does factor in. as well as that though I also think that for someone to be beautiful they also have to have a nice personality and they must take care of themselves. Being beautiful and being hot are two very different things and I find beauty much more attractive.
Thumbs up for you.
I honestly don't like talking to people who don't at least look presentable. I get disgusted; and I do not care if people think i'm arrogant or nasty because I'm me and if they don't like it then they can scram.
If you must know then pay attention. REAL beauty resides in the world of eroge, hentai, and anime period. Some 3d girls do tend to strive to one day reach perfection and that is completely commendable. So those who would strive to do so could also be categorized as beautiful.
Socially acceptable, physically in shape and just a beautiful face. Sounds all "WOW br0 accept people for who they are br0" but really
I don't think anyone wants to be with a girl who looks like an ogre...
Look in the mirror, I'm sure you'll find it.
Something colorful or eye catching!

Not to rain on your parade here, but it just doesn't make sense to keep them both. Not with the rest of the team so depleted.
-Extend Cromartie 3 years past his current contract. 3 yrs $33 million $14.5 guaranteed $5 million signing bonus. Spread over the remaining 5 years of his contract would be $1 million pro-rated bonus from 2013-2017.
-Turn Cromartie's 2013 $7 million base salary into a bonus and spread it over the remaining 5 years. $1.4 million pro-rated bonus from 2013-2017.
-His pro-rated bonus of $2.3 million from his first contract here would still hit in 2013 and 2014.
His cap hit for 2013 would be $4.7 million, saving $4.8 million on the cap.
-Extend Revis for 6 years $78 million, $40 million guaranteed ($13 million annually would be tops in the NFL for CB). $30 million signing bonus. Spread over the life of the contract is $4.28 million per year from 2013-2019.
-His cap hit for 2013 would rise by $4.28 million.
-Making all of those moves would basically allow the Jets to keep both for the next 5 years and not take any more of a cap hit in 2013 by doing so.
Anyway, that's my theory.
Not to rain on your parade here, but it just doesn't make sense to keep them both. Not with the rest of the team so depleted.
Im on the trade Revis bandwagon. He's one of the greatest talents ever to wear the green and white, but no CB should be making the money he's asking for. Cro can provide top 5 CB play at a reasonable contract. Keeping Revis and Cro simply isn't a luxury that we can afford at this point given all of the holes in our roster.
Getting rid of Holmes is also one way to clear up some long term cash.
I would love to keep both of these guys because having 2 great CB gives the front 7 a lot of flexibility.
Going into 2013 with Edwards, Kerley, Hill, a cheap FA, and a rookie is fine by me. They don't need Holmes and most certainly don't need the baggage that comes with him.

Choon, walk me thru this.
Revis is already signed thru 2016 with a 3mill proration to the cap every year
these numbers are per jason's cap page That is why even if he opts out after the 2013 season you still have to account for 9 mill in cap charges as
he already received the 18mill bonus in 2011.
year Salary Cap Number Dead Money if Cut Cap Savings if Cut
2012 $11,503,616 $22,003,616 ($10,500,000)
2013 $9,000,000 $12,000,000 ( $3,000,000)
2014 $6,000,000 $9,000,000 ($3,000,000)
2015 $6,000,000 $6,000,000 $0
2016 $6,000,000 $3,000,000 $3,000,000
Are you now talking about adding 6 more years to 2012? I don't think so.
So with my understanding of how the cap works. I understand you want to extend him in 2013-14-15-16-17 and 18. you propose to do this by giving him a 30 mill bonus over those 6 years. That will require the jets to amoritize that 30mill in 6 installments of 5mill for each of the 2013-2018 years. that means even before his salary is added he has a cap charge of 8 mill for years 2013-2016 (5mill new amortization and 3mill old amortization) then you need to add the salaries for each year to arrive at the cap charge for that year..
I vote we let the new GM handle these problems. The new GM coming in should have a short and long term plan and he will execute that plan. He should already have some idea coming in how he wants to handle these types of issues because these types of issues determine the whole direction of the team. If the new GM coming in doesn't have a plan then the Jets got it wrong again which is highly possible.
