Josh McDaniels is in line to be interviewed for the vacant Browns head coaching job.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner will meet with the Patriots' offensive coordinator on Saturday, according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.
The Browns were in Seattle on Wednesday to interview Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
Before meeting with McDaniels the Browns will interview Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles Friday, according to reports.
Bowles was the Browns secondary coach under Butch Davis from 2001-2004. He is in his first year with the Cardinals after replacing Ray Horton, who left the Cardinals for the same job with the Browns. The Browns must interview at least one minority to comply with the Rooney Rule and meeting with Bowles would satisfy that requirement.
In another development, ESPN Insider Tony Softli on Thursday night tweeted "OU (Oklahoma) head coach and Ohio native Bob Stoops may have the inside track on the Cleveland Browns opening."
Softli is a former vice president of player personnel for the Rams and former director of college scouting for the Carolina Panthers.
McDaniels, 37, has experience as a head coach in the NFL, although that experience lasted only 12 games longer than what fired Rob Chudzinski now has on his resume. Chudzinski was fired on Sunday night after the Browns finished 4-12 in his only season as head coach.
McDaniels started his career as a head coach in glorious fashion, winning his first six games in Denver in 2009, but the Broncos were 2-8 the rest of the season and 3-9 before he was fired with four games left in 2010.
Chudzinski and McDaniels have an eerie tie: Chudzinski grew up in Toledo rooting for the Browns. McDaniels, born in Barberton, grew up rooting for the Browns and graduated from Canton McKinley High School before attending John Carroll. Both also have Jimmy Sexton as their agent.
McDaniels was 33 when hired by the Broncos after eight years coaching under Bill Belichick in New England. At the time, McDaniels was the youngest head coach in the NFL.
He was given power in Denver he won't have with the Browns if hired.
One of McDaniels' poor choices benefitted the Browns. In 2010, he traded running back Peyton Hillis, a 2011 sixth-round draft choice and a conditional 2012 pick to the Browns for quarterback Brady Quinn. Hillis rushed for 1,177 yards and 11 touchdowns, and though his star faded quickly, the Browns clearly got the better end of the deal. He also cut guard Casey Wiegmann, who played well for the Chiefs in 2010 and 2011 before retiring.
McDaniels' most controversial power move, and one of his biggest failures, was taking former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow with the 25th pick of the 2010 draft.
Prior to that, he traded quarterback Jay Cutler to the Bears (pre Peyton Manning in Denver) and wide receiver Brandon Marshall to the Dolphins.
The Browns apparently believe McDaniels will have more success if he concentrates on coaching and leaves the important decision making to Banner and General Manager Mike Lombardi. Banner was asked during Monday's new conference announcing Chudzinski's firing how the power structure with the new coach would work.
"We're open to whatever structure we need to have to get the right person," Banner said. "Also, we work very closely with the coaching staff. Chud had input in the decisions that we made. That doesn't mean that we agreed on every evaluation, but our philosophy has been to have a very collaborative approach to how we make personnel decisions."
No one ever questioned McDaniels as an offensive coordinator or quarterback coach, especially when he gets to work with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
McDaniels was the Patriots' quarterbacks coach from 2004 to 2005 and doubled as quarterbacks coach/offensive coordinator in 2006 to 2008 before being hired by the Broncos. He was the Rams' offensive coordinator in 2011 and returned to the Patriots for the 2011 playoffs. He has been their offensive coordinator the last two years.
The Patriots were 12-4, 16-0 and 11-5 from 2006 to 2008. They scored 589 points in 2007. They were 12-4 in 2012 while scoring 557 points and 12-4 in 2013 with 444 points scored.
"Josh is the best offensive coach I could ever imagine," Brady told Boston radio station WEEI-FM on Monday. "He's so prepared. He's so confident in what he does. He figures out a way every week to get us in the best position as players to win. I have so much respect for him and what he does for me, what he does for our team. He's just a great coach."
The Browns reached into the Belichick coaching tree before. Romeo Crennel was 24-40 (2005 to 2008) and Eric Mangini was 10-22 in 2009 and 2010.

1. "Madison schools close for the day to allow teachers to protest Gov. Scott Walker's union-busting budget plan."
[I]sn't it interesting how well the students used the internet to organize their political activity? Why not close all the schools altogether and let the students romp and play and be political and speak and learn via the internet and internet-organized activities... forever?2. Paul Soglin beats Mayor Dave in the Madison mayoral primary, and I publish the picture of him I took at the low key protest on the 13th.
3. Meade goes up to the Capitol and grabs some shots of the protests: "Dick move, Scotty!," "Hosni + Hitler = Dictator Scott Walker," ""We have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers."
4. The late evening announcement that the schools will be closed for a second day on the 17th.
5. At 10 p.m., I've finally got my edit of Meade's video up:
There's singing of the national anthem at the beginning and end of this video. In between, there's some chanting — "... what's disgusting? Union busting!" — and "Don't Stop Believing" and drumming and so forth.This is our first posted video of the protests, and it's kind of charming. At 3:21, you can see a "Recall Walker" sign. At 4:21, that's our first "Recall!/Walker!" chant.

"The rise of the tablet has heralded changes big and small across the tech ecosystem, from a booming market for cloud storage to the fall of Flash. If the computing industry was a stagnant pond in late 2009, the introduction of tablets a few months later was less akin to a pebble flicked from the shore and more like a boulder hurled from 10 feet up. The ripples have been widespread and lasting." Simple question: if an ordinary user used her laptop to check Facebook, the news, and read a few blogs, and now uses a tablet to do the exact same thing - how much has really changed? Are any of the things mentioned in this article - the rise of HTML5, streaming video, and internet storage - really the result of tablets?

As we told you Wednesday, a stack of suspicious voter registration forms is plaguing an already busy Bay County elections office. Thursday, a young voter affected by the fraud speaks out about election tampering.
You see them all the time, people outside Wal-Mart or the mall with clipboards. They ask you to sign petitions for all sorts of local and state issues, but what are they doing with that information?
One young voter says she found out the hard way these people aren't always what they seem. Eighteen-year old Ashley Kent says she'll think twice about signing another petition.
"I just signed my name, maybe I shouldn't have."
Her signature turned up in a stack of questionable voter registration forms at the Bay County Elections Office. Kent says they took her information off a petition she and a group of friends signed at Gulf Coast Community College.
"I gave him a fake social security number and address."
The person then used her signature to change her address with the elections office. Wednesday, Kent got two new voter registration cards in the mail. They had been sent to her old address.
"I don't understand why anyone would want to do this. I mean, come up to a table of innocent 18-year-olds. We haven't even gotten a chance to voice our opinions and vote yet."
Kent says she looked forward to voting. Thursday she sent in her absentee ballot. She's also filed a complaint with the Bay County Sheriff's Office.
Elections Supervisor Mark Andersen says if you signed a petition at Gulf Coast anytime this year go online to bayvotes.org and check your registration, or you can call the office at 784-6100. All of the questionable registrations are college age voters. He says you can avoid any headaches on Election Day by voting early, then the staff will have time to sort out any discrepancies.
The scheme targets young college age voters, potentially making them unable to cast votes on Election Day. Whether that benefits either party is yet to be seen.

The garden has been behaving so strangely this year that we actually ate the last blackberry before the first tomato. Let me tell you: plucking that final berry was a big bummer.
I usually roll with the ebb and flow of the seasons and never get too attached to any one crop. But without tomatoes to pick up the slack a juiciness vacuum suddenly loomed large. I looked down at the handful of motley berries in my colander and made one last pass through the patch, lifting branches, looking for one more that might have eluded my glance. Funny how wacky weather makes you pay more attention to every bite.

Turns out that Beyoncé isn't pregnant after all, husband Jay-Z says. The rapper, responding to a congratulatory e-mail from the program director of New York radio station Hot 97, said talk last week that he and Beyoncé were expecting their second child was false.
"It's not true," the program director, Ebro Darden, said in an in-studio video clip.
Beyonce Cancels Belgium Show on Doctors' Orders
Reports last Friday sought to use the pregnancy rumor to explain Beyoncé's recent ailments on tour, including a show she canceled last Tuesday in Belgium. Multiple sources at the Met Gala told the New York Post that Beyoncé was expecting. E! News also reported the "Bow Down/I Been On" singer was sporting a baby bump at the Met Gala following speculation by attendees.
Beyoncé addressed the rumors over the weekend with an Instagram post, according to the Daily Mail, writing, "I can't stop the rumors from starting, and I can't really change peoples minds who believe them, all I can do is sit back and laugh at these low life people who have nothing better to do than talk about me."
It's unclear whether the singer posted the image herself, as it currently does not appear on her Instagram feed.
AlthoughBeyoncé has said that she wants Blue Ivy to be a big sister, it seems that her current priority is finishing her world tour. The Mrs. Carter Show tour hits the U.S. in June, following European dates scheduled through May, and will wrap in August.

Three families are homeless after Thursday night's storm destroyed their homes. Emergency Operation Center officials say they received more than ten calls from local people whose homes were damaged in some way.
Fortunately, there have been no reported injuries, but instead a huge mess to clean up.
"Whatever it was, we could hear trees snapping and stuff flying. It is just a disaster," says Defuniak Springs resident, Dara Dobson.
It was a small tornado that ripped through Dara Dobson's home off of County Road 1-92 just north of Defuniak Springs shortly after 9 p.m. Thursday night. The twister managed to completely destroy all three of her vehicles.
But Dara seemed less upset about her totaled cars than about all the history that was lost in the storm.
"The holly in our front yard us is 65 years old. We have a shed that was built at the turn of the century that was destroyed. We lost part of a chimney created in the late 1800s," says Dobson.
Dara was one of the lucky ones. One Defuniak Springs family is homeless after lightning struck their home, burning it to the ground. Volunteers with the Red Cross were surveying the area late Friday afternoon.
"We located people who had damage to their houses and give them food, clothes and a place to stay for three days," says Red Cross volunteer, Tim Grimmer.

Miss Universe pops into Guantánamo Bay
'It was a loooot of fun!'
Those of you stuck for a holiday destination this summer might consider Guantánamo Bay - described last week by Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza as a "loooot of fun!"
Venezuelan minx Mendoza, 22, popped into the US's illegal Caribbean detention centre accompanied by pal Crystle Stewart, who boasts the title Miss USA. On her blog, Mendoza "recounted how she and Stewart met US military personnel and toured the camp, with its barbed wire fences, minefields and watchtowers", as the Guardian puts it.
Mendoza added: "We also met the military dogs, and they did a very nice demonstration of their skills. All the guys from the army were amazing with us."
The two gals were on a United Service Organizations morale-boosting jaunt to the sun-kissed American corner of Cuba, and Mendoza noted: "We visited the detainees' camps and we saw the jails, where they shower, how the[y] recreate themselves with movies, classes of art, books. It was very interesting."
She admitted: "I didn't want to leave, it was such a relaxing place, so calm and beautiful."
And no wonder, because when the pair weren't marvelling at how the US military gently induces prisoners to "recreate themselves", they stumbled across an "unbelieveable" beach in the bay.
The blog entry now appears to have been stuck on a rendition flight to oblivion, but Miss Universe prez, Paula M. Shugart, yesterday offered a statement on the matter, which sort-of clarified:
Dayana Mendoza's comments on her blog were in reference to the hospitality she received while meeting the members of the U.S. military and their families who are stationed in Guantánamo.
Which we take to mean: "Guantánamo Bay is 'calm and beautiful' as long as you aren't there for 'recreation'." ®
Despite the date, this story is completely true. We wish it wasn't, but there you go...

PLUM — It had been a month since the Mars girls basketball team played a game decided by fewer than 17 points.
It had been 13 days since the Planets had played a game of any kind.
The rust showed.
Mars never got untracked, fell behind by 10 just five minutes into the game under a sea of turnovers and never recovered in a 56-31 loss to Elizabeth Forward in the first round of the WPIAL Class AAA playoffs at Plum High School Wednesday night.
"Game speed and game condition was a concern," said Mars coach Tony Howard. "We haven't played a meaningful game in more than a month. You worry about that."
Howard tried to simulate what his team would see against the Warriors, scheduling a pair of scrimmages over the course of the last 13 days.
But he admitted it wasn't the same.
"That's a good team," Howard said of Elizabeth Forward. "They are the No. 5 seed for a reason. Twenty wins don't grow on trees. It's hard to simulate that. It's hard to simulate their size and speed."
Mars trailed 15-5 with three minutes remaining in the first quarter and 29-13 at the half.
At one point in the second half, Mars had more turnovers (22) than points (21) and trailed by 26.
Elizabeth Forward (20-2) was coming off a 25-point loss to South Park nine days ago in the regular-season finale.
The Warriors' defense, though, bounced back from that lopsided loss in a big way, said coach Sam Kosanovich.
"We like to play defense and defense is what has carried us this season," Kosanovich said. "That set a little bit of a tone for us and got us moving."
Mars (15-8) did a good job breaking Elizabeth Forward's press, but once the Planets got into a half-court set, they mishandled the ball.
Warrior guards Abbey Sporio and Alison Pastore were aggressive and strong.
"Their guards were quick and strong," Howard said. "That's what I've learned in my short tenure as coach — if you have strong, fast guards you can give some teams some trouble."
Sophomore guard Jess Bunner had a strong game for Mars.
"Jess has played great for us all year," Howard said. "She hasn't had the scoring numbers — she sacrificed that a little bit. I put her on the best offensive girl every single night. I think going forward, she's going to be a contributor on the offensive end, double digits every night."
Ali Goetz, another sophomore guard, scored 15 points to lead the Planets. More than half of those points, though, came in the fourth quarter.
"I can't say enough about Ali and what she has done for the program," Howard said. "We have a nice strong foundation coming back."

Did you hear? The Canucks are in talks to take over the American Hockey League franchise in Abbotsford. At least, that's been the rumour for the last four years or so.
If it's true, no one's talking. Abbotsford Heat president Ryan Walter says no one has discussed it with him. Same for Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman.
"As of yet, nobody's knocking on my door," Banman said. But he wasn't shy about admitting the city would be "fools not to be" interested if the Aquilini Group — owners of the Vancouver Canucks — did come around hoping to take the reins of the franchise from the Northwest Division rival Calgary Flames. In fact, the rumours excite him like they excite anybody else. "I'm hoping where there's smoke there's fire," Banman said.
Like all good rumours, the idea that the Canucks are interested in Abbotsford thrives primarily because it's plausible. The Canucks are the big-ticket item in the Fraser Valley, and Abbotsford is no exception. All one needs to do in order to see the city's devotion to the NHL club is drive down South Fraser Way after a Canucks playoff win, when the city's main drag is overrun with celebratory fans whooping aloud, honking car horns, and generally carrying on. Safe to say, bringing the Canucks affiliate to Abbotsford would bring down the house. It would also make it a little easier to fill.
The Heat averaged 3,545 in attendance during the 2011-12 season, about 2,000 fewer than the league average and 29th out of the league's 30 teams. Over the Heat's two rounds of playoff action, that number dropped to a frustrating 2,389.
Some of this has to do with the fact that AHL attendance always drops in the postseason, which shares a spotlight with the NHL playoffs. And the Canucks' early ouster from the postseason didn't help. That typically signals the moment many in the Fraser Valley switch into off-season mode for hockey at all levels. (The Heat can only hope that, despite the NHL lockout, these same fans are now clamouring to get out of this mode. The Heat's season begins Oct. 12, and the labour stoppage guarantees an influx of young NHL talent and no NHL to compete with. It should help drive the box office.)
But Abbotsford's attendance problem goes much further back. Much of it stems from the circumstances under which the team began before the 2009-10 season.
The city's partnership with the Flames has been problematic from the outset. While the deal promised that any profits in excess of $5.7 million would be split between the city and the ownership group and early projections indicated the Heat would generate this kind of revenue, the city also agreed to make up the difference if profits didn't reach that benchmark. Last year, that meant taxpayers paid $1.3 million to the Flames — nearly $900,000 more than the year prior.
"If anything, the business plan was overly optimistic," Banman admitted. He also made sure to mention he wasn't mayor then.
But more importantly, the Heat were a Flames affiliate and they were branded to look like one. In order for many to support a local franchise, they need to feel as though its theirs, and the Heat made this difficult. Rather than adopting the City of Abbotsford's colours (blue, white, and green), the Heat took on the red and black of the Flames, and as clever as their nickname was (Heat is an offshoot of Flames. Get it?), it only served to remind people that the team belongs to Calgary.
It's an approach that rarely works. Of the top 10 franchises in the AHL by attendance, only the Providence Bruins and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins are branded to align with their NHL affiliates, and both are in the same general area as the big club. The Heat aren't.
The Heat are doing their best to connect to the community anyway. The players and staff make appearances. ("I've never done so many men's breakfasts in my life," Walter joked.) They give to local causes. They may charge $10 for game-day parking, but all revenue goes directly to the University of the Fraser Valley next door.
Another issue: nearly half of Abbotsford residents voted against the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, the building in which the Heat play. The decision to allot $85 million in public funds to erect the arena and two other community projects was put to a public referendum and passed by a slim 54.6 per cent margin on Nov. 25, 2006. Many are still begrudged enough to avoid the arena to this day.
Banman cautioned against avoiding the building out of spite.
"The first thing I did [once elected] is I apologized to the citizens of this town. 'I'm sorry that we are where we are, things did not go as we projected or as planned.' But for those that dig their heels in, be very careful what you wish for. If we have to turn the lights out on this building, we still have to pay for it."
All of this is to say, most in the Fraser Valley would agree that bringing the Canucks' prospects to Abbotsford would make everybody very happy. "I'd love to win the lotto, too," said Banman, "But that's not in my control."
He's right. It's not up to anybody in the Fraser Valley. It's up to the Calgary Flames' organization, and they're happy now.
It's important to note that the Canucks were offered Abbotsford first. When construction began on the AESC, the City of Abbotsford set its sights on partnering with an NHL franchise to bring a tenant to the building. They called the Canucks first. Unfortunately, the Canucks were in a happy marriage with the Manitoba Moose (Winnipeg) at the time, and they weren't looking for a new partner.
The Canucks may be now, with the Moose gone to Newfoundland and the Chicago Wolves proving a little more independent than they're used to, but they weren't then.
The Calgary Flames, however, were. Never in their history had they been blessed with an affiliate so close. A flight from Abbotsford to Calgary takes 45 minutes, which means they can call a prospect up the morning of the game — the afternoon, even — and have him in the lineup by puck drop without hassle. They had to take advantage of this benefit numerous times during the 2011-12 season, when a rash of injuries had them calling Abbotsford regularly just to dress enough bodies for their games. One could hardly call last year's Flames lucky, but they had to be thanking their lucky stars for Abbotsford's proximity at that point.
Furthermore, the Heat are running a tight ship for the Flames. The coaching staff, led by Troy G. Ward, coaxed a record season out of a roster thin with high-end prospects. Ward prides himself on personal improvement, and the players under his watch have reflected this. The Heat play hard-working, responsible, two-way hockey and it's led to opportunities for several of his players to take the next step. Players such as Akim Aliu and Hugh Jessiman saw their careers resurrected by one year in Abbotsford and wound up signing NHL contracts in the summer. The Flames have to like that.
And finally, even if the ownership group continues to lose money, they know they any shortfalls in revenue below $5.7 million will be met by the city. So why change anything?
As long as the Flames control the affiliate in Abbotsford, the rumours of Vancouver's interest will persist. There may even be something to them. "I can't really talk about that too much," snapped Canucks' GM Mike Gillis when asked about his franchise's interest in Abbotsford by play-by-play man Ryan Pinder during a broadcast last spring. But unless the Aquilini Group is willing to pay a lot of money to wriggle a great situation away from Calgary, it won't go beyond interest.

Would like Mercilus or Curry for us in the 2nd if we could trade up
Would like Mercilus or Curry for us in the 2nd if we could trade up
In his last two seasons at Marshall, defensive end Vinny Curry racked up 23 sacks.
But, he isn't a one-dimensional player, also making a lot of tackles.
He's 6 foot 4, 263 pounds, and he looks like the sort of player who could fit in any scheme.
Here's a conversation with Curry:
Q: How has this experience been so far?
A: I'm just trying to soak up as much as I can up. Everyone out here is good, so I'm just trying to get better. It feels good just to be out here, among the nation's best.
Q: Where are you going to train before the Combine and what will be your focus?
A: I'm going to train at CES Sports, in Atlanta. My focus is to be a top performer, in all categories, at my position. And just to work hard. Just solidify myself as a solid draft pick.
Q: Does this experience in Mobile make you believe you're ready for the next step in your career?
A: Everything feels good. It gives you a lot of confidence.
Q: What have you thought about the experience of working with NFL coaches?
A: I love it. I love getting coached, and I like learning new things. I'm just very excited.
Q: And in interviews, what do you highlight about yourself?
A: I'm a guy who loves the game. A guy who plays with phenomenal passion, and a guy who makes plays.
Q: Projections have you as a first- to third-round pick. What's your mindset?
A: My goal is just to be one of the top d-ends taken in the draft.
Q: Did you graduate from Marshall?
A: I graduated this past December. General studies. I had two minor degrees in criminal justice and sociology.
Q: So you're obviously ready, if the NFL thing doesn't work out?
A: If the NFL thing doesn't work, I'm going to try and be a wrestler.
Q: You've been very productive, both in terms of sacks and tackles. Why is that?
A: Teams schemed for me, so I tried to elevate my game with seven forced fumbles. I'm just a hard worker, and I play with as much passion as I can. I love playing at Marshall. I love being a part of the Herd. I wanted to bring them a conference championship. But at least we brought them a bowl championship.
Q: Who is your agent?
A: Kevin Conner at Universal Sports.
Watching Curry this week and I understand why so many people are
excited about him. I wonder if he would last to the 2nd round
Seeing Curry on the field and reading that interview, he surely embodies "playing like a Jet"... Bart Scott would love to have a second wrestling fan on the team aswell...
Both of these guy's are projected to go anywhere from mid 1st to late second.
I think people are going to be shocked this year at what the jets do.
but i like Curry. Great head on his shoulders and plays extremely hard.

okay, i am an eighth grader taking algebra 1 and so far its been a breeze. but now we're solving equations with variables on both ends and i am sorta lost. i say sorta because i get it and understand what to do (combine like terms, opposite operations, ...the works...) but then i get to solving the problem and i do everything how the book and my teacher says, but the answers just don't end up working out when i plug my answers in for the variables...
heres one of my problems:
what is the solution of 2n - 3(4n + 5) = -6(n - 3) - 1 ?
i did this:
distributed, so i rewrote the problem as: 2n - 12n + 15 = -6n - -18 - 1
then i combined like terms: 2n + -12n + 6n = -15 + 18 + -1 and got: -4n = 2
then i divide each side by -4 to isolate the variable and 2 / -4 is - 1/2
according to my teacher, the answer is -8. no matter how many times i rework this problem, i still get negative one half.....
can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong here?

Staff Writer, Bay Area News Group
HAYWARD -- Saturday's demolition of Warren Hall on the Cal State East Bay campus has been carefully planned down to the minute, but low clouds or fog could delay things for a short time.
"The implosion will take place as soon after 9 a.m. as safety and weather permit," said Mark Loizeaux, president of Control Demolition International, the company handling the explosives.
If energy from an implosion hits fog, it bounces off and comes back down, affecting where debris lands, he said. So skies must be clear, and that is the forecast for Saturday, he said.
Scientists are taking advantage of the demolition to study the Hayward Fault, which runs close to Warren Hall. U.S. Geological Survey scientists and volunteers have been installing 600 seismometers this week in a 1½-mile radius around Warren Hall and in a vertical line from the bay over to the Dublin area, which will be used to measure the implosion that will mimic a small earthquake.
One of the seismographs will be at Lee Baker's home in the Fairview neighborhood of unincorporated Hayward.
"One of the geologists came to my house and asked if it was OK to place one here," Baker said. "I said, 'Of course.' I'd like to see how much shaking is up here."
Baker was so interested in the project that he volunteered to help place the seismic sensors, which are a little larger than a soda can.
"This is the most exciting thing that has happened in Hayward since the Haywards Hotel burned in 1923," he said.
Warren Hall has been declared the most seismically unsafe structure in the California State University system. The university considered retrofitting the 13-story building but found that demolishing it was less expensive. It will be replaced with a more energy-efficient structure across campus.
When the demolition begins Saturday, people in the area will hear 13 reports, or loud explosions, that will go off at 6½-second intervals to ignite the charges, Loizeaux said. A second sequence of reports will be the actual demolition.
The charges are set so that the building will tilt as it comes down, falling away from other nearby structures, some of which are only 50 feet away.
From beginning to end, the implosion should take 17 seconds, he said.
Loizeaux's advice to interested residents. "Stay home. Watch it on TV."

(WEAU) - Some students at UW-Eau Claire spent the night outside, to find out how you can have fun without electricity.
It was called "Do it in the Dark: Night Games" and happened at the Towers Field on the school's upper campus. Kate Hartsel, the Housing Sustainability Coordinator says kids were playing games like capture the flag in the dark to hopefully make students to think about the amount of electricity they use at night. Hartsel told us "the idea is to get them to turn off their Gameboys, their Xboxes and all of that stuff and use less energy. Come outside and have some fun."
Monday night's event was just one in a series that the university is hosting as part of their new sustainability pilot program.

With all the young players on the team his leadership ability will be a great asset.
Hoops: CJ Lee Hired as Administrative Assistant
[press release]
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan men's basketball head coach John Beilein announced today (Tuesday, Nov. 9) the hiring of former Wolverine C.J. Lee as the administrative specialist for the Wolverine program, after Travis Conlan was elevated to the Director of Basketball Operations.
"I am thrilled to come back and formally be a part of the Michigan basketball program," said Lee. "This is an opportunity that I am very thankful for. I look forward to learning under Coach Beilein, his staff, and the entire athletic administration. My role will allow me to learn the operations side of collegiate athletics and see the game of basketball from a different perspective."
After transferring to Michigan from Manhattan College, Lee played in 67 games as a Wolverine and a 103 total in his collegiate career. Walking on to the Wolverines, Lee earned a second semester scholarship as a senior and closed the year earning his bachelor's degree in political science.
Returning for his fifth year, Lee was awarded a full scholarship from Beilein, was named a co-captain and was an integral part in a Wolverine late-season run and subsequent return to the 2009 NCAA Tournament, where U-M advanced to the second round.
Lee was named a Big Ten Outstanding Sportsmanship Award winner and was a Michigan Daily Student of the Year, one of 10 recipients. He closed his career recording his first career double-digit scoring performance with 11 points against Oklahoma in the NCAA second round.
A two-time Academic All-Big Ten selection, Lee was awarded the Thad Garner Leadership Award twice, the Wayman Britt Outstanding Defensive Player (2009) and the Steve Grote Hustle Award (2008) by the program.
In May of 2010, Lee completed his master's degree in public policy from the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy.
While continuing to finish his master's following his final season, Lee worked for the recent State of Michigan Governor-elect Rick Snyder on his campaign. He served as a travel aide and policy/communications staffer until April 2010.
After graduating, Lee began work at Ann Arbor SPARK. As a business development manager with SPARK, Lee helped established companies maneuver the local and state business climate by connecting them to the resources designed to help them succeed.
[/press release]
Good for CJ, and it seems like he'll be a valuable addition to the program. His contributions (and David Merritt's) to the 2008-09 team are often overlooked, but the Wolverines definitely don't make the tournament without those guys.
Anyone know what happened to Brian Townsend, who used to be Director of Basketball Operations? I only ask because I had the guy for a class at Pioneer and loved the dude.
He was promoted to an Associate AD for Revenue Sports (or some such title) position.
Congrats to him!
good to see that former beilein players are believers.
Great move. He was a great asset as a player and will be even better in this role.
But in all seriousness, I loved him as a player and I think he will be a great coach.
Go blue.
This would make a nice "teary-eyed" documentary. Transfer walks on, becomes a co-captain, gets not only his Bachelor's but his Master's, and comes back to work for the team and school he put so much hard work into.
Congratulations to CJ Lee and to whoever in the athletic department was intelligent enough to see what an asset he could be to any program. This is a classic win/win for all involved.
Agreed, Lee is a phenomenal asset to the program in any capacity.
I love CJ Lee.
That's all.
With CJ Lee and Denard now in the same athletic program at the same time, is there any doubt that Michigan athletes have the best smiles in the country?
That is a great hire. I love CJ Lee. He would have ran through a brick wall for a win if asked. That kind of guy can only have a positive effect. Really exciting.
I always like cj lee
does anyone know what the director of b-ball operations does?
sounds like a good job
actually put the ball through the hoop.
Support staff doing any extra coaching in our athletic department at this point of time.... ;-)
That's great news! CJ Lee was an athlete, sportsman, gentleman and scholar. He'll be a valuable asset to the basketball program!
EDIT: Added gentleman and scholar. Let's face it, this guy is a class act. I hope he spends a long time with the program and wish him the best.
Couldnt happen to a better guy. CJ is the kind of guy teams want to surround their programs with.
Brings a'lot of class and character to the program
Nice to see former Wolverines come back to the program and help to elevate it. Best of luck to C.J. going forward.
Loved him as a player and always heard great things about him as a student. It's super he's back.
To be honest I thought he might have some interesting political trajectory with his Snyder connection, and we'd start hearing about him from that angle, but I'm delighted to have him officially affiliated with the team.

Monarchs Head North For CAA Play
By ODU Athletics
Oct. 18, 2002
The Old Dominion men's soccer team will continue their Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) schedule this weekend as they travel north to take on Delaware tonight and Towson on Sunday.
The Monarchs are 11-1-3 in regular season conference matchups since 2000, including a 2-0 start this year. This will be the first meeting for ODU against these teams as conference foes since both Towson and Delaware are in their first year of soccer competition in the CAA.
After a 5-0 victory over UNC-Wilmington and 2-1 2OT win over George Mason, ODU (5-4-0/2-0-0) has moved into first place in the CAA. They hope to continue their streak as they face Delaware and Towson this weekend. The Monarch offense is lead by Attila Vendegh (Bratislava, Slovakia) who broke the school record for most career goals with his 37th against GMU. Vendegh is tied for 14th in the nation for points per game with 2.22 and assists per contest with just under one. He has seven goals and six assists so far in 2002.
Delaware has lost four of their five meetings with ODU, with their last win coming way back in 1976. The Monarchs have outscored UD 13-2 in their last four meetings. The Blue Hens (2-7-2/0-1-0) lost their first ever CAA game to Drexel, 2-0, and have only one win in their past 10 contests.
Towson is 6-3-2/1-0-1 after a 2-1 conference win over Drexel and a 1-1 tie with Hofstra. The Monarchs are 5-3 lifetime against the Tigers but the teams haven't met since 1995 when Towson dropped ODU 1-0. Machel Millwood is one of the best conference scorers with seven goals and nine assists. On defensive side, Andy Hicks averages less than one goal per game in 11 starts.

Wedding recap!June 22nd, 2005 , by admin
I am finally recovered enough to be mostly functional today and post about our wedding. No pics yet, though! Gordon hasn't put the pictures on the web page yet - there are a few from various cameras on this website: http://bigred.firemark.net/gallery/ This is also where wedding pictures will be once Gordon gets them posted, so keep checking back!
The rehearsal and rehearsal dinner went off without a hitch, except that my dad didn't make it in - he says Travelocity screwed up his reservations. He made arrangements to fly in on Sunday instead. Two of my uncles and Gordon's aunt made it in, and our wedding party was there, and a couple other friends of the family.
After the rehearsal dinner, Gordon went to Howl at the Moon at Universal Citywalk and kept partying, but I was really tired, so Pam and I went back to our place and got ready for the wedding day. I didn't sleep very well - there was lots racing through my mind and I wondered if we'd handled all the details that needed to be handled.
Sunday morning I woke up and Pam dropped me off at Burke Williams for a massage. I relaxed and used the spa, jacuzzi, etc. and she picked me up about 11:30am to go to the Ebell. www.ebellla.com I had two messages on my cell phone, one from the makeup artist - how do I get there? and one from my dad, whose travel arrangements got screwed up again. He wasn't able to make it to LA after all, and apparently was very angry about it. I was actually very zen about the whole thing, figuring that whoever was supposed to be at the wedding would be at the wedding. My mother decided not to attend at all, and Dad had travel issues. Hhmmmmm. Not sure why neither of my parents were meant to be there, but I was more than okay with it, which surprised Pam. What will be will be, right? I wasn't going to let ANYTHING ruin my wedding day.
We got to the Ebell shortly after noon, and Rachel and Alison were already there and the makeup artist had already started working on one of them, and the hair stylist was working on the other one. The scene in the bridal suite was fun, calm, and quietly busy. Pam and I got the car unloaded and I was at loose ends for a few minutes until my hairstylist could start working on my hair. We got my hair up in rollers and then I was hungry again, so there's a great picture of me with my hair in rollers, no makeup on, chowing down on a chicken leg. Then there's another one of me hair still in rollers, still no makeup, brushing my tongue. I don't have copies of either of them yet, though!
My friend Julie and her mom and husband stopped in at one point to say hello, and it was good to visit with them before the wedding started. My sister EDenise came a little early, too, and she came up to visit, too. My hair and makeup was done by 3:30, and Pam helped me into my dress. I was then sent downstairs to see Gordon for the first time and we took lots of pictures. I got pictures with my uncles, my aunt, my sister, and of course, my groom.
Then we went inside and signed the ketubah, which is the Jewish marriage contract. This is what ours looks like: http://ketubah.com/engine.cfm?i=33&dID=085-003
Gordon and I then had to part ways until the ceremony started. I went upstairs and had a few minutes with EDenise, and then she went to sit in the audience. The assistant wedding coordinator told me to wait until the music (Trumpet Voluntary, on trumpet!) started to descend the staircase. The only moment I was nervous was when I heard that beautiful music start and I realized I had to get down that staircase and ALL eyes would be on me. My only thoughts were about getting down that staircase without tripping. I did have a TINY slip, but no one noticed, and I made it to the altar unscathed.
Gordon looked amazing, and it was wonderful to walk up the aisle and see so many friends and family who were there for us. The ceremony itself was brief and entertaining, which was what we wanted, and Gordon broke the glass, everyone shouted "Mazel Tov!" and we walked up the aisle as husband and wife.
We had some appetizers sent up to the bridal suite, and we cleaned the plate and caught up on the events thus far. Gordon helped me change shoes (ceremony shoes were strappy heels, reception shoes were silver ballet flats!) and then we had to go get more pictures taken. Fortunately, that didn't take long, and we then joined our guests for the cocktail hour.
We went back into the main room, danced our first dances, and then danced the hora. Now, I'd never danced the hora - I'm not Jewish, and had only been to one Jewish wedding, and I don't remember dancing it at that wedding. Let's just say it was a TON of fun, and I got to dance part of it with Booa (which was perfect since she'd said I had to marry Gordon so she could dance the hora at my wedding ). Then I had to sit in my chair and get lifted up above the crowd as they danced around us. Very fun, a little scary!
Dinner was a beet and arugula salad followed by either lamb porterhouse on mashed potatoes or chicken on polenta - either one was delicious! As we ate, they were setting up the chocolate fountain, which was a HUGE hit - Pam's 92 year old grandmother left with chocolate ALL over her mouth! Everyone loved it! I had ONE marshmallow with chocolate on it, and then never got back to that end of the room all night! We had bananas, strawberries, two different kinds of cookies, and marhsmallows with the chocolate fountain. YUM!
Everyone had a GREAT time at the wedding - at one point I looked around and hardly anyone was sitting down - everyone was either on the dance floor or at the chocolate fountain! Even our parents generation - in their 60s and 70s were up and dancing all night!
My favorite moment of the reception was after the speeches, when Bob announced that we had a special guest and asked us to come up to the stage. I asked Gordon if Neil Clark Warren was there - we met through eharmony.com, and our minister is a friend of Neil's and had asked him to come to the wedding for a few minutes, so I thought it was him. Gordon said that he knew what this was, and that wasn't it! A chair was placed in front of the stage, and I was told to sit. Then GORDON got on stage and sang "It Had to Be You" to me! I had tears streaming down my face the entire time - not only was it an incredibly sweet and moving gesture, but my husband can SING! He'd never sung in public before, either!
We wrapped up the evening and arranged for our bags to be put into the cab, and we headed off to the hotel. We get 2 minutes away, and asked the cabbie if our bags were in the back. They weren't, so we went BACK to the Ebell to find our bags, which had been put in the limo that Gordon's mom and sisters were taking back to the house. Oops. Wrong car, guys! Then we went to the hotel and ordered room service because we were both starving!
The Honeymoon Is OverJune 14th, 2005 , by admin
Literally. Not figuratively.
Gordon and I spent 13 days at Club Med Cancun, and had a marvelous time. I'll post lots more in a few days, but we both came home with some kind of crud and both have a fever. I'm only posting now because I can't sleep. I seem to be a couple of days behind Gordon in my symptoms, but my temperature started climbing in the last couple of hours. He's got a temp of 101. Ugh.
I'll also post a link to a wedding web page with tons of photos of the wedding day. It should be up in the next week or so – once one or both of us feels well enough to put it together and get some photos up there.
I will say right now that we both ate everything we wanted regardless of whether or not it was BTD appropriate, and we enjoyed (almost) every minute of it. Did fun touristy stuff, too. I will elaborate more when we recover.
PS – My grandmother is still hanging in there, and they are talking of releasing her to the assisted living place (at a higher level of care than she needed before). Remarkable!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Energy stocks advanced Tuesday, gaining ground after starting the day in the red as the broader U.S. equity market also found firmer footing.
Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM, -0.78% shares gained 0.2%. Competitors Chevron Corp. CVX, -0.88% and ConocoPhillips COP, -0.75% advanced 0.8% and 1.2%, respectively.
As earnings season draws to a close, analysts at Tudor Pickering Holt said they remain neutral on integrated oil-and-gas companies, having a buy rating only on Royal Dutch Shell PLC RDS.A, -1.32%
The integrated companies' fourth-quarter results missed Tudor Pickering Holt's expectations by 3% and Wall Street consensus by 1%, the analysts said.
U.S.-listed shares of Shell advanced 0.6%.
The Anglo-Dutch company sent two Arctic drilling rigs to Asia for repairs, according to media reports.
That included the Kulluk, the rig that ran aground on New Year's Eve and cast doubts over Shell's Arctic exploration plans.
The company said it has not made a final decision about Alaska drilling this year.
Shares of Apache Corp. APA, -2.60% turned higher, ending the day up 0.4%. The company said it has raised its quarterly dividends to 20 cents a share from 17 cents a share, giving strong "cash-flow generating capacity of Apache's portfolio and its solid financial position."
Apache has a history of regularly increasing its dividend payment, and "the substantial uptick in payout seems warranted and should be received positively by shareholders," analysts at Simmons & Co. said in a note to clients.
Apache is slated to report fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday.
The Simmons analysts have modeled $11.5 billion in discretionary cash flow this year and an estimated $10.5 billion in the company's 2013 capital budget.
Noble Energy Inc. NBL, -0.35% shares declined 0.5%. Analysts at BMO Capital Markets cut Noble Energy to market perform from outperform.
It is "hard to poke holes" in Noble's trajectory, and the downgrade was based on valuation and the stock's "great run" in the past six months, they said.
U.S.-listed shares of Norway's Statoil ASA US:STO advanced 0.3%.
Statoil plans to bring oil by pipeline from the Barents Sea to a new terminal in northern Norway, which could pave the way for a permanent Arctic hub, Norway's oil minister told Dow Jones Newswires on Tuesday.
The minister, Ola Borten Moe, was optimistic about the potential for more discoveries in the Barents Sea, and Statoil is slated to complete a drilling campaign there this summer.
The SPDR Energy Select Sector XLE, -1.33% an exchange-traded fund that focuses on energy names, rose 0.3%. Crude-oil futures rose 0.5%, with the March contract CLH3, +0.00% settling at $97.51 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. See: Oil futures gain as OPEC raises demand forecast.

Why Black Straight Men Are Missing From the Fight Against HIV/AIDS
Opinion Editorial by CEO and Founder Phill Wilson
June 21, 2010
This is the second in a series of editorials about the critical role that Black men play in ending the AIDS epidemic in Black America.
In a previous editorial, I shared three reasons that Black men matter in the fight against HIV/AIDS, whether they're straight, gay or bisexual. To summarize, Black men matter because Black men -- straight, gay, bisexual or confused -- are at disproportionate risk for HIV infection. Black men matter because they can play a critical role in protecting their partners. Black men matter because they also play a vital role in protecting their children. But Black men have largely been absent from the fight, particularly heterosexuals. Here, we look at some of the reasons.
Over the years, only a handful of straight Black men have actively and publicly fought HIV/AIDS. Among them are notables like Beny J. Primm, M.D., one of the world's leading experts in HIV/AIDS and substance abuse; Jerry Lopes, head of American Urban Radio Network; award-winning journalist George Curry; Dallas-based clinician and HIV expert M. Keith Rawlings, M.D.; David Satcher, M.D., Ph.D., the former surgeon general who once ran the Morehouse School of Medicine and now runs the Satcher Health Leadership Institute there; and the head of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, the Rev. Jesse Jackson. There are a number of others, but they are exceptions that prove the rule. As a whole, brothers in the barbershop have not been actively involved in fighting HIV.
I think that this has happened for a number of important reasons. First, heterosexual Black men mistakenly believe that HIV/AIDS is not about them -- that they're not at risk, and few Black straight men get infected. It's no surprise that they harbor this misperception: Public health officials and AIDS activists have made little effort to communicate the magnitude of the epidemic among straight Black men. And when that message is conveyed about straight Black men, it is only within the context of demonizing them. We're quick to talk about brothers on the down low -- supposedly straight men who are immoral sociopaths knowingly infecting women -- or inmates who are either victims or perpetrators of prison rape and come out of prison and infect women.
Second, homophobia is real. Rightly or wrongly, many straight Black men still perceive HIV/AIDS as a "gay disease." When a straight Black man does join in the fight, his sexuality is called into question. Finally, heterosexual Black men have not been invited into the conversation about HIV/AIDS, a dialogue that has been taking place for almost 30 years. When they do try to participate, they are often met with hostility -- or attacked for not having been involved earlier.
Given these dynamics, it's not surprising that when the subject of HIV/AIDS comes up, many Black straight men run for the hills. From their perspective, nothing good can come of their involvement in this conversation. What is surprising, however, is that many Black gay men have also abandoned the HIV/AIDS fight. Early on in the epidemic, the Black gay community was actively involved in the effort to confront AIDS. But in the recent past, other than Black gay men who are infected or affected, Black LGBT organizations and Black gay men in general have moved on to other issues. This is true in spite of data showing that in some urban centers, 46 percent of Black gay men are already infected. Black gay men represent nearly 20 percent of all new HIV infections in this country. America's Black gay men -- and particularly young men -- are the single most at-risk population in the country -- and perhaps even on the planet.
What needs to happen to engage Black men, whether they're straight, bisexual or gay? Next week I'll suggest some answers.
Yours in the struggle,

Pittsburgh coach Paul Chryst has insisted for the last three months the starting quarterback race remains wide open.
Just in case Chryst forgot, Chad Voytik provided a timely reminder.
The redshirt freshman completed 27 of 33 passes for 358 yards and three scores during the Panthers' annual spring game Friday night. Chryst gave Voytik extensive playing time, and Voytik responded by tossing a 66-yard touchdown to junior wide receiver Kevin Weatherspoon and a pair of scores freshman tight end Scott Orndoff.
"I got the adrenaline going a little bit," Voytik said. "You always like to go out there and compete under the lights. It felt like high school days, it was a fun time."
Chryst has been diplomatic about who has the upper hand through spring drills but sent Savage out onto the field with the first team. The former Rutgers star - looking to revive his football career after missing the last two years while transferring to Arizona and then to Pitt - completed 6 of 11 passes for 80 yards but failed to produce a touchdown drive while he was on the field.
Savage's limited playing time was by design according to his coach.
"We wanted to get him three or four series and put Chad in and get him as much work as we could," Chryst said. "Tommy did a lot of good things this spring and we like where he's at. It was pretty good for Chad to get some good work tonight."
The offense had little trouble moving the ball against a defense missing a handful of starters due to injury. Isaac Bennett ran for 114 yards, including a 48-yard touchdown run in which he bounced off a couple of defenders then sprinted to the end zone. The score helped atone for an early fumble that Chryst chalked up to Bennett being sloppy with the ball.
Desmond Brown, whose older brother Antonio Brown is a wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, ran for 90 yards and a touchdown while Malcolm Crockett added 45 yards on the ground but did fumble twice.
The performance was a good sign following the abrupt departure of Rushel Shell, who left the team earlier this month and plans to transfer. Shell was expected to be the starter after rushing for 641 yards and four touchdowns last fall.
Bennett's strong play behind a sometimes dominant offensive line quelled any concerns the Panthers had about the running game heading into the summer.
"Everybody's like, `Oh, Rushel Shell left and everything,' but I felt like with Isaac we're real confident, real happy with having him back there," senior defensive lineman Tyrone Ezell said. "I feel like our running game is definitely going to be good. It's getting there."
Chryst wasn't quite so effusive. He helped build Wisconsin into a national power with a bruising rushing attack. He didn't like the fumbles or the inability of the offense to score touchdowns early. With nearly five months to prepare for the 2013 season opener - and ACC opener - against Florida State on Labor Day, Chryst believes his team remains very much a work in progress.
"A lot of guys did good, but there are certainly some things we need to clean up," he said.
When pressed on who would be the starter if the Panthers had to play a game next week, Chryst quickly replied "we don't."
"Both guys need to have a great summer," Chryst said. "Our whole team needs to have a great summer ... we've made strides but we're nowhere near where we need to be."

Fever questions
DD is teething but she's never had a fever w/ it till now. It's 102.7 rectally. Our holistic ped has DH getting some serrum phosphoricum pellets to reduce her fever and I'm making some chamomile tea to hydrate her. (I'm sure she'd rather BF all day instead, but my supply's running low these days since she's been eating so many solids.) I'm going to have DH massage her w/ lavender/tangerine oil when he gets back--ped says massaging that up and down her spine should work the fever out.
I have to say, this is all new to me. Motrin is our ped's desperation-only suggestion, so I'm just looking for some confirmation that she's ok.
She just went back down for her 3rd nap since 5am--really that's the ideal napping qty, but usually she wouldn't even go down for her 2nd yet. Is it ok that she's needing to sleep so much?
She's just so miserable--cries if put down while I try to feed her or something, and just lies on me like a lump otherwise. She hasn't laid still on me like this since she was a nb.
What temp constitutes more proactive action? How can I get more fluids in her if she refuses?

CHICAGO — Members of a bipartisan panel charged with coming up with a solution to Illinois' nearly $100 billion pension crisis have formally invited Gov. Pat Quinn to testify before the committee Monday in Springfield.
The group was formed last month since lawmakers remained at odds over two reform plans. The committee held two public hearings in Chicago.
Committee chairman state Sen. Kwame Raoul sent Quinn a letter dated Friday and obtained Sunday by The Associated Press.
In it, Raoul says the committee has been working well together and members appreciate details they've received from Quinn's budget office.
There was no hint in the letter of tensions between Quinn and the committee.
Quinn gave the panel a Tuesday deadline to come up with a fix. Committee members say that's arbitrary and irresponsible.
