William Woodward: The Seven Deadly Sins
For the past two decades, William Woodward has delved into the rich history and aesthetic possibilities of the seven deadly sins as a subject matter for our own time. The master drawings and narrative paintings in this exhibition continue the artist's fascination with painting figures and animals, which began more than 25 years ago while painting his landmark 880 square foot circus mural at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Florida. Woodward's version of the sins owes a great deal to the films of Federico Fellini, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and the commedia dell'arte tradition. The artist tries to imagine, had these directors and actors been painters, how they might have depicted their subjects in whimsical and elusive ways rather than strident and explicit interpretations. In creating The Seven Deadly Sins, Woodward is not preaching about sin. Rather, he wanted to paint pictures that no one, including himself, had ever seen before.

State and local police were busy ticketing motorists who refuse to buckle up. The hope is this new safety belt enforcement will save lives and get driver to think twice about not buckling up.
If you passed by Kishwaukee Road and Airport Road on Sunday you may have noticed more police presence than usual. Police were testing out a new method of safety belt enforcement. Here is how this new system works, police use their naked eye to spot unbelted drivers. They will then stop and issue a ticket for up to 75 dollars.
Police say the goal is not to issue as many tickets as possible but rather to get more of us to notice these signs and buckle up. Though any driver can be ticketed during this campaign, police are specifically focusing on teen drivers. Statistics show teens are more likely to be found not wearing their seatbelt.
It the safety belt enforcement pilot is successful, plans are already in place to utilize this new enforcement during the upcoming Click-It or Tick It and during Labor Day.

Say what you will about the PAC Ten - we know you will - but at least recognize this: these no defense-playin' fly boys ain't playing scared. Eight of the league's ten teams play opponents ranked in the top 20 outside of the conference, and the two that don't, Arizona State and Oregon State, have strenuous visits to Colorado and Boise State, respectively. In the opening week alone, three West Coast teams are visitng SEC stadiums; another (Arizona) comes to LSU in Week Two, the same day Washington visits Oklahoma. And when other schools were falling over themselves to schedule Buffalo and East Tennessee State in the new 12th game slot, the PAC Ten did the right thing by adding a ninth game. No more avoiding Oregon (UCLA) or missing out on a cupcake the rest of the league gets to devour (Washington State will relish that visit from Arizona this time around).
This is one of the country's deepest conferences, perhaps its best from top to bottom, where every team seems to be 'on the rise.' Except one, natuarlly, and it couldn't possibly rise any higher. Also perhaps the only league in which literally every team looks like a legitimate bowl contender; there are probably no projected last place teams anywhere better than Stanford and Washington, which says something (don't know what, but something).
Underlying Literary Themes in the PAC Ten
Isolation and Exile - Sam Keller had nothing but nice words about his brief reign as the starting quarterback at the People's Democratic Republic of Arizona State, which ended in a coup d'etat by Keller's one-time comrades, who forced the apparent figurehead to install Rudy Carpenter in Keller's position despite the close but free and fair selection of Keller just days earlier. Yet, deep inside, the exiled Keller must be hoping his eminent takeover at Nebraska will result in a Holiday Bowl showdown with his old mates in 2007; in the meantime, imagine Keller as Uma Thurman's character in Kill Bill, methodically, psychotically prepping for vengeance.
Death and Dying (Death is part of living, giving life its final meaning) - "Death" is an overreaction to the monumental exits at USC, but there will be some deserved mourning in the wake of the departures of two Heisman Trophies, a mythical championship and a half, three PAC Ten titles, an ongoing, 23-game conference win streak and mostly unverified scandal with Leinart, White, Bush and Co. The replacements must now brave an inevitable winter - 11-2 OMG Outrage!! - before its talent can fully bloom, according to the Cruel Laws of an Indifferent Universe.
Bildungsroman - At Arizona, Dick Tomey and especially John Mackovic after him represent forms of loss, discontent and rebellion that jarred the Wildcats into a long, arduous, and gradual process of maturity, consisting of repeated clashes between their needs and desires and the views and judgments enforced by an unbending social order in which they were frequently on the bottom. In hiring Mike Stoops, a frustrating beginning has given way to a revelation (quarterback Willie Tuitama and a 52-14 head-exploder over UCLA), some subsequent setbacks (a three-touchdown home loss to Washington the next week) and the manifestation of the spirit and values of the external social order within the program. By the end of the season, UA will be able to more accurately assess its new place in PAC Ten society.
SMQ Must Justify...
UCLA won ten games in 2005. Washington State won three. So SMQ says the first number's almost cut in half, and the second doubles. These teams were virtually identical last year in terms of yards and points and yards allowed and points allowed; outside of USC (an extreme outlier), Washington State to three ranked teams (including UCLA) and Arizona State by four points or less apiece, while UCLA frantically rallied for miraculous late wins on four different occasions - Washington State, in overtime, being one of them. Consider also that WSU outgained UCLA in conference games, averaging more than a yard more per carry and allowing a yard and a half less per carry; in six conference losses (again, not including USC), WSU fell by an average of 4.3 points while suffering a minus-five turnover rate and missing 3-8 Arizona, whereas UCLA won six league games with a plus-six turnover ratio and didn't play 10-win Oregon. Under the new 3-2-5-e rule, the Bruins would have likely watched the seconds tick off four more losses in '05; the Cougars, two more wins. With Washington State plugging in JUCO star JT Deidrechs for Jerome Harrison and returning everyone else, and UCLA losing Drew Olson, Maurice Drew and half the defense, those fortunes will meet about halfway this time around.
- - - - -
If you lost five out of six games by four points or less, you'd need a hug, too
Most Likely To Prove SMQ Wrong
Obviously, one picks against the Trojans at his own risk. SC's won 30 of its last 32 PAC Ten games, for god's sake. Cal has provided the stiffest conference test now three years running, but is not quite on the same plane, talent-wise, and could finish as low as fourth (in the PAC Ten, that is, not the nation).
If One Thing Is Certain...
One team will allow at least 500 yards and 35 points per game. Last year, Washington State gave up 501.6 a pop, with UCLA right behind at a little over 497, and both allowed five touchdowns or more on a consistent basis. The Bruins could again fall so low, but a massive rebuilding project at Stanford makes the Cardinal uniquely qualified. Given the level of offensive firepower everywhere (save maybe Washington), it's an inevitability.
Alternate Endings
The USC-Cal winner is the presumptive favorite; barring that, Oregon and Arizona State have rough and unlikely designs on crashing the big-money series their own selves. UCLA may have the guns to compete in such an area again, whereas Washington State could be slipping back into the cellar. Oregon State, Stanford and Washington are clearly the three worst teams, but it shouldn't surprise anyone to see any of them in the postseason hunt. A wide, wide open league with a lot of possibilities, all of them about equally plausible.
Projected Order of Finish (SMQ's BlogPoll Ranking)
This is not a power poll...
1. California (#2)Jeff Tedford + deep, Heisman-contending (and upstanding!) backfield + bitchin' run defense + misleading record due to close losses X (Cruel Laws of Indifferent Universe + Wide open mythical championship race) = Picture perfect sleeper.
Question the "bitchin' run defense" if you must, but this was certainly true of a similarly experienced group in 2004, when the Bears allowed 2.7 per carry (just 1.6 to USC) and 16 points per game while playing in an offense-mad league, and this year's front seven crop - which allowed 3.3 a carry over the season as an entirely retooled unit last year - is at least as talented as that one (and has an all-America type corner backing it up, Daymeion Hughes, who was just a rookie starter in '04). Question the quarterbacks, you must, but do so with Tedford's history of guiding talented, inexperienced passers into sudden, must-have draft studs firmly in mind.
2. Southern Cal (#4)
Nationally, Texas may be able to claim talent equivalency. That would be about it. But no team in recent history has thwarted the malaise - by which SMQ means maybe two losses, three max - that inevitably follows the departure of production on the level of the Big Three from the Trojan backfield, which itself obscures the exodus of three offensive linemen, both defensive tackles and three-fourths of the secondary, the vast majority of which is collecting hefty paychecks these days. And still SC probably deserves to be favored in every game, even if the cosmic order dictates somebody with an offensive pulse - Nebraska, Arizona State, Oregon, Cal, Notre Dame - will shut down the surprisingly anonymous, youth-and-injury-plagued backs and pressure the new quarterback into enough mistakes to rend a scarlet and gold garment or two.
3. Arizona State (#20)
Keller's overthrow and effective banishment can have only psychological effects here, and not necessarily negative ones. There should be no worries whatsoever with El Presidente Rudy Carpenter emerging - or else - as the leader of the offensive junta. Worries are entirely on defense, where there is justified optimism about the addition of former all-Big Ten end Loren Howard, a Northwestern transfer just before last season, but how good was Northwestern' defense with him? More shoot-out ball is eminent, and the Devils are equipped for it.
- - - - -
Hey, Rudy, no pressure, man, right?
4. Oregon (#21)
There is slight trepidation surrounding the new backfield tandem of Dennis Dixon/Brady Leaf and Jonathan Stewart/Jeremiah Johnson, without much else to worry about besides two new corners. Stewart is to be feared. Asking for consecutive ten win seasons is probably biting off more than these Ducks can, um, chew, but this is by and large a "beat goes on" situation that will compete with anyone.
5. Washington State
Had the league's best offense (in total yards) behind USC, produced the nation's leading regular season rusher and put the fear of god into winning teams on a weekly basis, yet only won a single PAC Ten game, against Washington, because of an atrocious defense and what SMQ presumes was the worst luck in the nation (possibly karmic retribution for Ryan Leaf?). The skimpy margin between this team and eight wins was recounted above; better bounces and ample experience on defense ought to close that gap by about half.
The other side of the coin, the fortuitous team that preyed on many a hapless secondary and Lady Luck's near-boundless favor to win ten must be due to revert to the mean, which, under Karl Dorrell, has been about six wins. L.A. could top that by a game, maybe two. But the hammering it took in two losses late in the season is an ominous sign; how many teams go 6-2 in-conference and are outscored overall by opponents by five touchdowns? SMQ knows, he knows, Ben Olson brings the lefty pain (and over-aged Mormon mission karma), but that fortune, sans the Drews, cannot continue.
7. Arizona
While previewing los gatos montesas in the offseason, SMQ was swayed by the Arizona media department's near-revolutionary screed declaring the arch of history compelled a bowl berth by a Wildcat team "peopled by those who believe," but he's since lost his dose of impetus: the fact is that the depth of the conference and 'Zona's iffy running game put them again on the outside of postseason developments.
8. Oregon State
A little unfair to drop the Beavers this far after a sudden string of competiveness and fight this decade, and with nothing like a mass exodus occuring on either side; in fact, the quarterback, two quality wide outs, a former all-conference tight end, a 1,300-yard rusher and all five offensive linemen return from a perfectly capable offense. And the kicker! My god, the kicker! And the team was a ghastly minus-14 in turnover margin, a sign of eminent turnaround. But not every team in the league can rebound all at once, so, with ball-sucking vortex Mike Hass and the top two tacklers (and top three sackers) gone, SMQ predicts further five-win doom for the Beavers. All the preceding is moot, however, if Matt Moore cuts the picks (an NCAA-high 19 last year) in half and Yvenson Bernard, a poor man's Mike Hart as a tough but very short plugger, doesn't need 30 carries to break a hundred.
9. Washington
Another potential up-and-comer, were the position not so capably filled by half the rest of the league. Isaiah Stanback is a baseball and former track guy playing quarterback and can run, run like the wind, but is a middling passer and has never completely wrestled the job from Casey Paus and Johnny DuRocher. The team's also going on its ninth year without a 1,000-yard rusher, according to Phil Steele, with no prospects in sight. The defense was actually respectable, and features another surely-destructive Tuiasosopo over there (backup linebacker Trenton), but Ty Willingham's not taking these guys anywhere in the PAC Ten at 21 points a game. The signature win the past two years (out of three to choose from) is Arizona last year.
10. Stanford
Quarterback-for-life Trent Edwards can be classified as a positive by now, but remember: the Cardinal became the indispensable key to the absurdity of the 2005 version of the College Football Victory Chain Linker by losing to I-AA UC-Davis, a game in which (without Edwards) its offense was held under 200 yard total yards. Stanford improved from there, certainly, but pretty much the whole, terrible defense graduated, and it didn't improve that much.
- - - - -
Technically, Anon, but I'm not counting the 2002 co-championship because SC lost the head-to-head to Washington State, who played in the Rose Bowl. I will call the co-Big Ten championship that year between Ohio State and Iowa a split title, because they didn't play one another, but when there's a head-to-head, I go with that (I will never accept Ole Miss as 2003 SEC West Division Champions, for example, because despite the identical league records, they were clearly second to LSU).
But SC was the best team in the league in '02; WSU never would have beaten them later on in the season. That's why I included '02 in the reference to the 30-2 conference record.

Skip to comments.BREAKING NEWS: Biden Contradicts Obama on Clean Coal
Posted on 09/23/2008 12:56:39 PM PDT by Winged Hussar
No coal plants here in America! Biden pledges, despite Obama-Biden's stated support for clean coal.
This is what the Obama-Biden platform says:
Ensure 10 percent of Our Electricity Comes from Renewable Sources by 2012, and 25 percent by 2025. Deploy the Cheapest, Cleanest, Fastest Energy Source Energy Efficiency. Weatherize One Million Homes Annually. Develop and Deploy Clean Coal Technology. Prioritize the Construction of the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline.
This is what Senator Biden told a questioner at a rally in Ohio We're not supporting clean coal, Biden said. ...No coal plants here in America! pledged the Democratic vice-presidential nominee. Build 'em, if they're gonna build 'em, over there and make 'em clean because they're killing ya.
See also Biden on YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rXyTRT-NZg
I wonder how much Hillary is paying Biden?
How is that playing in Pennsylvania?
Biden, there's a bus in your future.........and you ain't on it......
as Rush was saying "Stand up Roosevelt" lmao
Okay, I was scoffing at the "Biden takes a fall" scenarios, but this is starting to get freaky.
Look for the ol' switcharoo to take place anyday now.
One thing always amazes me. Whenever the subject of coal is brought up, the discussion almost always revolves around the people who actually dig the coal. Whenever the subject of oil is brought up, the discussion almost always revolves around the CEO's and executives of the oil company.
Is everyone noticing the site being really slow?. It's taking a while to load and refresh.
Yeah. Almost as slow as my network.
I'm hoping it's just Jim Robinson updating or tweaking his servers, popular site......
Go get'em, Mumbly Joe!
Biden can't help himself. He's just a telling a voter what they want to hear. He walks away knowing he got her vote. Let's pray it's the only one he gets. Is this a Sister Souljah moment?

State of Origin: New South Wales sets sights on series whitewash over Queensland
New South Wales will start preparations for a first Origin series whitewash since 2000 later after celebrating the 6-4 win over Queensland.
Fresh from sealing a first State of Origin series win in nine years, Laurie Daley and his New South Wales backroom staff will begin plotting a first whitewash over Queensland since 2000.
Daley became only the second man after Wayne Pearce to captain and coach the Blues to a series victory with Wednesday's 6-4 win in a bad-tempered contest in front of more than 84,000 fans at Sydney's Olympic stadium.
The 44-year-old insisted he was determined to enjoy the moment of ending the Maroons' nine-year stranglehold, but said he would start focusing on game three later in the week.
"I'm not even going there yet," Daley said after the game.
"Our guys deserve to enjoy the moment. I am so happy for these blokes to get to experience what so many people have for New South Wales.
"This team will always be remembered as the team that stopped this great Queensland team."
Skipper Paul Gallen will be the first New South Wales skipper since Andrew Johns in 2005 to lift the Origin shield in Game III at Lang Park on July 9.
Gallen, who was named man of the match, is public enemy number one north of the Tweed following his punch to the head on Myles in last year's series and claimed recently he does not even go on holiday in Queensland any more.
And he admitted he is not overly excited at the prospect of lifting the shield in front of a partisan home crowd in Brisbane.
"Thinking about it now I don't think it's going to be real good," Gallen said.
"I don't expect many cheers, but it will feel good for me."
Daley looks set to lose experienced back rower Anthony Watmough when he names his side for game three on July 1 after he was slugged with a grade two dangerous throw for his challenge on Nate Myles just after half-time.
Due to carryover points, Watmough will sit out three weeks, including Origin game three, if he takes the early guilty plea.
He will miss four weeks if he fights the charge at the judiciary on Thursday night and is found guilty.
Parramatta centre Will Hopoate could also be in doubt after damaging his shoulder late in the first half.
"Hoppa had a couple of needles at halftime but it was not good," Daley said.
"He showed great courage to stay on - it was just like the Morris boys did in game one."

(CNN) -- Does the singer come first? Or the songwriter?
Let's start with the songs: "Crazy." "Hello Walls." "Funny How Time Slips Away." "Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground." "On the Road Again."
Just the catalogue alone would qualify him for any number of musical halls of fame -- and, indeed, Willie Nelson is in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Kennedy Center Honors. He has a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Country Music Association, the first it ever presented. They decided to name it for him.
Then there's the voice, that baritone as smooth as fine whiskey, capable of jaunty sing-alongs, angry despair, pensive melancholy. Amazingly, his delivery was once considered too unusual for Nashville, with a start-stop phrasing that skipped around the beat. Now it's as welcome as his other voice, the well-worn Martin N-20 acoustic guitar he calls "Trigger."
Add to that Willie Nelson the man.
He's the man who co-created Farm Aid, the annual festival that has raised more than $43 million to help farm families. (That got him into the Agricultural Hall of Fame.) He started BioWillie, which makes fuel out of soy and vegetable oils. He has a street named for him in Austin, Texas, his home since the early 1970s.
He's still at it, raising money for the victims of the West, Texas, explosion. West is not far from Abbott, where Nelson was born.
OK, Willie Nelson isn't without flaw. He's been busted for marijuana on more than one occasion. He hasn't always been faithful to his wives; his first one famously tied a passed-out Nelson in a bedsheet and beat him with a broom handle. He had a little tax problem with the IRS and put out a 1992 album called "The IRS Tapes: Who'll Buy My Memories?" to pay his multimillion-dollar debts.
But who would want a flawless Willie Nelson?
On Tuesday, Willie Nelson turns 80. He'll be playing music, of course -- the Germain Arena in Estero, Florida, according to his website. What else would he do?
"I seem to be happier when I'm working," he told The New York Times in 1995. "I tend to get into trouble with too much time on my hands."
That's OK, Willie. We hope you never stop.

Denard was just interviewed on Fox Sports Detroit during the pre-game show of the Pistons-Heat game. It took place courtside, and he was all smiles saying how he was excited to watch the game. He basically just said how he knows Brandon Knight because they grew up near eachother in Florida. He also said he was chatting with Lebron because they have tweeted back and forth with eachother before despite Lebron being an OSU fan. Nothing earth shattering I know, but still cool to see.
Denard interviewed courtside at The Palace during pregame of Pistons vs Heat
no link? I thought this was the internet!
(unreasonable expectations of global information network)
Yeah sorry I wasn't recording the game or anything. I just had it on in the background and was like "Hey, that guy on the court looks like Denard. Wait a minute, it is!".
He wasnt hard to spot
I thought the standard operating procedure for the Internet was "Tits or GTFO"
i hope he paid for those seats.
no seriously, this kinda shit scares the crap outta me.
Well to be fair, the OP stated that the interview was courtside, not necessarily his seats. However, your point still stands.
I'm sure he has eight bucks. Have you looked at stub hub day of pistons games tickets this year? It's very sad.
Yes, sorry if I wasn't clear enough, but the interview was not from his seats. It looked like FSD brought him onto the court to do it.
If they were courtside seats, I know that they were $2,000 when the Pistons were in their prime a few years back.
No need to worry! Pistons tickets are literally blowing in the wind for free around the stadium...thats how bad the Pistons are..
I'm a Nets fan, but check out prices for the upcoming Pistons vs. Nets game:
You can literally buy tickets for a penny!
Did he mention when he is moving to WR?
Major props to you for watching the Piston pregame show
Remember when you used to say that about Tebow? He does.
#1 It's not hard to get those seats
#2 He knows Brandon Knight
#3 He was just interviewed there...he could've had nosebleed seats, he could've been standing courtside to walk out on the court during a timeout and be presented with something, he could've moved down near the floor like 50% of the people at the Palace.
Damn, I see him. First row back to us, blue shirt. Maybe he saved up, probably forty bucks to sit front row. There's about 85 people there.
You should rethink your #2. If Brandon Knight or Lebron James had anything to do with those tickets, it could be bad news and twisted into being interpreted as an improper benefit (i.e. the agencies that represents both those players also represent football players, and those agencies may have played a roll in sending tickets Denard's way, yada yada yada...)
Paranoid nonsense, I know. But I do get paranoid about these things and would rather have not known Denard has any sort of interaction with those guys and went to the game out of his own wallet.
Is it really a violation for a legitimate friend in the pros to hook you up with some of his allotted seats? I mean I know the best bet is to just not do it if there's any doubt but that seems stupid to me. I guess it could get hard to monitor.
Depends on when the relationship was established and how much you're getting...
I wouldn't be worried about a $40 ticket.
Check out AJ Rompza at UCF...he's been best friends with Marcus Jordan since high school. I live down here in Florida. AJ and Marcus are always "ballin" doing something crazy together. Thousands blown in Vegas, partying it up in Orlando, whatever. Not to mention all the free Jordan Brand stuff he owns.
I'm pretty sure that existing relationships (friends before DR became a student athlete) are allowed, and they are allowed to provide things a friend typically would (ie. tickets to a game to see your friend play).
I thought it was "before becoming a recruit" or prospect or whatever the technical term is. In other words, your next door neighbor who's lived there since you were born could give you his tickets, but Barry Booster who "just happened" to meet you when you get an offer couldn't.
As far as I understand it, there are two situations when a college athlete getting tickets to a pro sporting event is a violation:
1. The tickets are purchased by the University (outside of an approved team event) or by a representative/booster of the University.
2. Purchased by an agent or someone employed by sports representation business.
I'm 99% sure Denard is absolutely in the clear in this situation (and like someone else said, we're talking about a lowly Pistons game here, not the All-Star game...). However, Denard needs to be mindful that fans and foes alike are going to be curious about how he got his ticket, and that when there is a pro player, there's an agent, so it's best not to name drop and make people suspicious.
If this was an NFL game, I would be worried. But Denard doesn't play basketball, so the likelihood of anything being misconstrued is a lot less than it would be for football. Knight grew up one city over from Deerfield. Knight has nothing to gain by giving Denard a ticket. Add it up, and this is just getting a ticket from a friend who "made it."
At least he sitting courtside at the Laker's game. In seats that are thousands of dollars if they could be purchased which they can't. But a certain Oregon RB had some given to him and no one seems to care.
I guess people are just worried about a slippery slope. That's all I got for this situation
I can see If that was Braxton Miller sitting court side then you could question the seating arrangements but that is D Rob. There is nothing sinister or diabolical about that smile so one is trying to catch Denard riding dirty!
Was Roundtree with him?
The part during the intros where they dim the court to introduce the Pistons... was that ruined by the luminesence of Denard's smile?
No, it actually was for good effect.
Denard's going to be all over that Jumbotron during the game. They need to give Piston fans something to cheer about.
I would love to see Denard dunk on Lebron.
I'm intrigued by how he scored tickets
No you're not. Keep it moving. Nothing to see here.
Your feeble pathetic Jedi mind tricks will not work on me for I am balanced in the force
Diabeetus, that is good knowledge right there on stipends. People often forget how far that kind of money goes in college.
This is probably the best crowd of the season because the heat are in town. But I doubt Denard would get on television if he didn't score the tickets in a legit way.
My mom and sister are at that game and my sister actually went up and got her picture with him.
Denard is good luck. Stones up 2
Stay away from Lebron Denard! His mentorship of Mr. Pryor obviously worked........
Honestly, what advice can Lebron give other than "don't get a big head and don't take the criticism personal."
I don't think Lebron has learned those lessons yet, so how can he teach them?
I would think that Denard, or the rest of the M student athletes for that matter, would run it by compliance to get the green light if the tickets were aquired through Knight or some other means. I have confidence that Denard would not put his eligibility or his team's success in jeopardy, which is why this does not concern me.
Move along, nothing to see here. Except that Denard can even make the Pistons tolerable.
make a good pair. They both seem to be really upstanding young men.
I was initially critical of the Pistons drafting Knight. However, after learning more about him, his character, studious nature, work ethic -- and watching his improvement over the course of this first dozen games as starting NBA point guard -- I'm really impressed. This kid is going to be GREAT.
OMG! Denard is 5'8"!!!!! No way he plays in the league. To short for wide receiver, too tall for holder!
Who is guy #3 on the right?
That's Bobby Hurley...
To my surprise, they are actually being reasonable on that blog. Most of them are saying what we are saying: the pistons suck, tickets are cheap, he didn't have courtside seats he was just interviewed on the court...
He's an idiot, and a PR nightmare.

BEND, Ore. – A Bend police affidavit says a robber at the Home Federal Bank two weeks ago demanded money by giving the teller a note written on the back of part of a grocery receipt.
Police said the receipt contained the last four digits of a food stamp account, which led to a suspect's name and a phone number, and then a telephone service provider came up with coordinates of the phone's location – a Central Oregon campground.
The Bulletin newspaper reports that's where Bend police arrested 54-year-old Robert Short on theft and robbery charges.
Police said Short denied the charges, saying he never keeps receipts and would have thrown it in the trash, where anyone could have picked it up.
A plea hearing is scheduled May 27.

The Alaska Sustainable Salmon Fund granted preliminary approval to fund two projects aimed at protecting fish habitats on the Kenai Peninsula.
The Sport Fisheries Division of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game aims to eradicate northern pike in western portion of Soldotna Creek. Fish and Game will treat the drainage in two to three phases, said fisheries biologist Robert Massengill.
"(Fish and Game) will work through the entire project covering costs, but the bulk of funding for the first part comes from Sustainable Salmon," Massengill said.
The Sport Fisheries Division also received funding for the continuation of a more than decade old project, the Kenai Cost Share Project, aka the Kenai River Project. Both proposals now go through a review process to finalize the details. The biologists handling the Peninsula-based projects have clear objectives, they said.
The fund is comprised of the state's received funds from the federal Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund. Congress established PCFRS in 2000 to protect Pacific salmon and steelhead populations and habitats. Fish and Game manages the statewide program.
Fish and Game allocates funds to organizations outside of its agency. The Matanuska-Susitna Borough received $1.1 million through the fund for a fish passage restoration project; the Organized Village of Kasaan, a federally recognized tribal government, in conjunction with the Hydaburg Cooperative Association received $116,924 for a Prince of Wales stream habitat-mapping project.
The total available funds will be known once Congress appropriates them in June or July, said AKSSF assistant program manager Debbie Maas.
Proposals submitted to the fund must address a high priority objective for the region in which the project takes place. The Peninsula falls under Fish and Game's Central region. Its goals include habitat conservation, stock assessment and salmon and steelhead management systems, with multiple objectives outlined under each goal.
The pike eradication project was approved for $298,629 in funding.
Northern pike reduce the quality of fishing in Southcentral Alaska and threaten wild and stocked fisheries. Although pike are native throughout most of the state, they do not occur naturally south and east of the Alaska Range except for a small population near Yakutat.
Soldotna Creek's four lakes — Derks, Union, East and West Mackey — support the bulk of the pike population in the creek's drainage, Massengill said. It is likely biologists will chemically treat the western portion of Soldotna Creek, which includes the lakes and their connecting streams, two to three times as flowing waters are difficult to treat successfully, he said.
Fish and Game will use Rotenone in the waters, a widely-use and commercially available pesticide. The Environmental Protection Agency registers Rotenone as a restricted-use pesticide for fish management.
Rotenone was chosen after Fish and Game held public scoping meetings last spring. The options ranged from netting the area to chemical treatment, Massengill said. They felt Rotenone was cost effective, the best chance at success and the safest method for protecting the rest of the Kenai River, he said.
Once the lakes and streams are treated, a temporary barricade will be placed at the outlet of Derks Lake.
"If we barricade the outlet to the rest of the Soldotna Creek drainage then we've created a pike-free zone, and that's what we're shooting for with this first step," Massengill said.
Two methods are used to stop Rotenone from entering the Kenai River. First, Fish and Game relies on dilution to render the chemical ineffective; if the outflow of treated and untreated water is below 2.0 parts per billion, no measures for removal are needed, according to the chemical's label. Second, applying small amounts of potassium permanganate can chemically deactivate Rotenone, a method Fish and Game is well equipped to handle, Massengill said.
Data will be collected during summer 2013 while treatment will begin the following year, he said. The project still needs to go through an extensive permitting process, including an environmental assessment where the public will get a chance to comment.
The Kenai Cost Share Project "Phase 3" was approved for $340,828 in funding.
Habitat biologist Dean Hughes said the third phase is simply a continuation of a project that began in 1995. The project is a financial incentive and educational outreach initiative directed toward private landowners and public land managers. The project provides funding and technical project design assistance to sustain and enhance salmon habitat on the Peninsula.
"On the Kenai, what that translates to is access to the river," Hughes said. "Fish and Game supports access, so things we do, specifically, are re-vegetate river banks, build walkways and paths and pull junk out of the water."
Biologists complete an average of 30 rehabilitation and protection projects a year, he said. Past projects' price tags varied widely, from a $300 re-vegetation projects to a $100,000 project to remove a massive jetty from the river. Many projects have landowners contributing half the price of a project while Fish and Game contributes a portion, as well.
Hughes said the most important facet of the continuation of the project is education, however.
"It's imperative to educate people about how to protect their riverfronts without destroying the fish habitat," he said.
The majority of the projects are based near the lower portions of the Kenai River, as far north as Moose River.

3-28-07 - East Central University's Tigers matched Central Oklahoma hit-for-hit in both games, but the Bronchos managed to pick up the doubleheader sweep as they edged the host Tigers, 9-7 and 7-6, to open Lone Star Conference North baseball play Wednesday at Tiger Field.
ECU even matched the Bronchos homer-for-homer (three each) in the opener, but couldn't capture the win. In the nightcap, the Tigers rallied from a 6-1 decifit with two runs in the sixth and three more in the seventh, but came up a score short.
The losses dropped the Tigers to 6-27 overall and 0-2 in the LSC North while the Bronchos improved to 22-9-1 and 2-0.
Central Oklahoma 9, ECU 7 (Game 1)
Jared Owen, Josh Walker and Scott Nevland each homered for the Tigers, who finished with 10 hits in the game.
Walker hit a three-run homer (his second blast of the season) in the first to lift ECU to a 3-0 advantage. Back-to-back singles by Owen and Tyler Pybas set the stage for Walker's blast.
Owen connected for a solo-homer (his second of the year) to lead off the fifth and Nevland later had a two-run blast (his first of the season) in the inning as the Tigers pulled within 8-7. Jason Wellington also had a run-scoring single in that same frame.
Owen, Pybas and Wellington each went 2-for-4 from the plate while Derrick Romines was 2-for-3.
Breck Draper, Tyler Carroll and Bryan Covington each homered for the Bronchos, who also compiled 10 hits.
ECU starter Kevin Peoples (0-2) was tagged with the loss after lasting 4 1/3 innings, allowing eight earned runs off nine hits. Brad Staggs pitched the final 2 2/3 innings, allowing one unearned run off one hit.
UCO starter Marcus Lara (3-0) was credited with the win after throwing four-plus innings and allowing five earned runs off seven hits with three walks and five strikeouts. Three other Bronchos saw mound duty in the game.
Central Oklahoma 7, ECU 6 (Game 2)
Down 6-1, the Tigers scored twice in sixth off a two-run double by Gus Bordones.
Then in the seventh, ECU made it too close for comfort in the Bronchos eyes as Wellington drew a bases-loaded walk. Nevland then reached on a fielder's choice as Owen scored and Walker scored on the same play, off an error to get the Tigers within 7-6.
However, relief pitcher Cameron Karner got ECU to ground out to end the game as the Tigers fell a run short.
Owen and Nevland collected two hits apiece in the Tigers' nine-hit attack. Owen went 2-for-4 and scored once while Nevland was also 2-for-4 with one RBI.
Pybas had a run-scoring single in the third inning for ECU's other score.
Staggs (0-1) took the loss after pitching 2 1/3 innings. He allowed three earned runs off seven hits with one walk and a strikeout. Freshman T.J. Gaines had a strong effort in relief as he gave up just one earned (the three others were unearned) off two hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
Dean McIntyre (2-1) got the win after throwing 5 2/3 innings and allowing just one earned run off eight hits with no walks and three strikeouts.
Michael Pollock went 2-for-3 and scored twice for the Bronchos while Bryce Columbus and Draper each went 2-for-4. Draper had an RBI and scored once while Columbus scored twice.
Carroll hit his ninth homer of the season for UCO.
The Tigers continue LSC North play with a weekend series at Cameron University in Lawton. The two teams will play a 1 p.m. doubleheader on Saturday before squaring off in a 2 p.m. single game on Sunday.

About Chirpy!
Chirpy! is an Open Source online quote management system. It allows you to keep a database of quotes by friends and foes. It is most useful for quotes collected on IRC channels.
The Chirpy! project originated mainly out of frustration caused by the Rash Quote Management System, due to its numerous bugs and its lack of efficiency and extensibility. While its developers openly admit that it was a quick job, eventually, this became unacceptable.
Chirpy! is written in OO Perl, allowing for extensibility and even instant portability to non-Web platforms, uses a pluggable backend (the default being MySQL) and outputs valid XHTML 1.1 and CSS level 2.
If all that gibberish doesn't convince you, you may want to check out one of the demo sites and see what makes Chirpy! so darn cool.

CHRISTINE WILLIAMS knows what it's like to be stuck in the revolving door of dieting. In her late 20s, she lost 30 kilograms on the Jenny Craig weight-loss program. She kept it off for more than five years. Then she had two children and the bathroom scales crept up to 113 kilograms.
"People have different addictions and ways of coping with things, and mine has always been food. I found that I just lost track of myself again. I tried to lose weight but I was up and down doing stupid crash-and-burn diets and I was all starry-eyed thinking I could do it in five weeks.''
In 2010, her children had finished school and she went back to Jenny Craig because it was the only approach that had made a significant impact on her weight. In 12 months she lost 45 kilograms. She is now running marathons and weighs 60 kilograms.
She doesn't see her return to the program as a sign of failure. "There are different stages of your life where other things are more important and you perhaps don't have the confidence to make a stand for you. Jenny Craig didn't lose my weight, I did. The problem with weight and obesity is that people don't realise it's actually about them changing the fixation they have with food. We kind of just give up too easily and whenever I felt tired or stressed … I'd say, I deserve to pamper myself by eating this junk.''

Amazing, a fantastic article that like other commenter's I will have to re-read to properly digest and really look forward in doing so.
Think of designers/developers I know that have moved from a 'music background' to web design aids the connection.
I myself (probably like many others) "used to be in a band at college". I think that creative, rhythmic spark definitely carries over.
Again, another great post this year. So far that's 9 out of 9 :D

Stevens Repeats as CAANJ Cup Winner
Stevens captured the Division III Collegiate Athletic Administrators of New Jersey (CAANJ) Cup for the second consecutive season as the winner was announced at Thursday's CAANJ fall meeting. The award honors the New Jersey NCAA Division III institution that has the most success across the entire athletic department. Stevens joins The College of New Jersey as the only multiple-time winners of the 15-year-old cup.
Five of Stevens' 26 varsity programs finished their seasons ranked nationally: women's swimming (5th), men's soccer (6th) men's volleyball (6th) men's lacrosse (9th) and men's swimming (11th).
In 2011-12, the Ducks had 12 athletes named conference athlete of the year, the most ever in school history. In addition, five coaches were named coach of the year by their respective conferences.
Stevens was also impressive in the classroom, as eight student-athletes were named CoSIDA Academic All-District, and Joe Huyett (Blandon, Pa.), John Hu (Oak Harbor, Wash.) and Matt Glassman (Basking Ridge, N.J.) earned Academic All-American recognition. 24-of-26 sports owned GPA's over 3.0 and seven boasted GPA's over 3.3.
"Winning the CAANJ Cup for the second consecutive year is an important milestone for our athletic program as we continue to strive for success across the board for all 26 teams," said Stevens Director of Athletics Russell Rogers. "I am extremely proud of the coaches and staff and all of our student-athletes and wish to thank the Stevens administration for their continued support. Honors and awards like this truly do take a team effort."
The women's swimming team produced an NCAA National Champion for the second consecutive year and finished fifth in the country as a squad. True freshman Brittany Geyer (Brunswick, Ohio) captured the 200-yard breaststroke title at the NCAA Championships. On the men's side, Stevens swimming counted three All-America finishes and 14 honorable mention All-America honors.
The wrestling program sent two members of its team to Nationals, with junior Joey Favia (Brick, N.J.) earning All-America status. Men's lacrosse won its first Empire 8 Conference title and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament with a 17-3 overall record.
The men's soccer program rode an 18-match unbeaten streak all the way to the Elite 8 of the NCAA tournament and won its eighth-straight conference title. Women's soccer claimed its second-straight Empire 8 crown and earned the right to host the first two rounds of NCAA competition.
The women's fencing team won its second National Intercollegiate Women's Fencing Association Division III championship in three years. Men's tennis won its third-consecutive Empire 8 title and advanced to the Round of 32 in the NCAA's, while the women's tennis team enjoyed an undefeated regular season.
A total of three CAANJ Cups are awarded annually in the following categories: Division I/II, Division III and Junior Colleges. Points are awarded for teams' finishes in conference standings as well as participation in national championships.

After about a year of work, the ArchLinux distribution now offers a variant running on the FreeBSD kernel. Says the developer, "Why would I do this? If like me, you enjoy FreeBSD and love it, but also like the philosophy behind Arch Linux, which is a fast, lightweight, optimized distro, I figured why not combine the both. Even though you could just do it on FreeBSD using the ports, not everyone wants to compile." This now puts Arch in the same category as Debian with Debian GNU/KFreeBSD, which offers a Debian userland on top of a FreeBSD kernel.

RE[6]: Arch BSD, right?
by Soulbender on Sat 26th Jan 2013 01:51 UTC in reply to "RE[5]: Arch BSD, right?"
Actually if I remember correctly in many European countries that is the same.
I can't find any hard information supporting this claim.
All I can find are vague claims like "some countries in Europe" so I'll call not true on that until someone actually provides hard evidence.
There's plenty of examples where carriers are required to provide an unlock service, free or at a charge, by law.

Chamber eyes benefiting from Marcellus drilling
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Those who attended the Marcellus Shale gas drilling presentation Wednesday at the IUP-Fairman Centre learned that there are numerous opportunities for business owners to service the gas well drilling industry.
Marlene Lellock, executive director of the Punxsutawney Area Chamber of Commerce, said the program was not about the pros and cons of Marcellus drilling, but how businesspeople and entrepreneurs can take advantage of the large natural gas formation located in the Jefferson County area and throughout Pennsylvania.
Jim Cassidy, of the Pennsylvania Independent Oil & Gas Association (PIOGA), noted that he had no oil and gas assets, and no ownership of companies involved with either shallow or Marcellus drilling.
Cassidy said the Marcellus field is old and covers about 95,000 square miles. Jefferson County — with only eight wells permitted in 2010 — is actually behind in drilling permits compared to other counties, such as Bradford (480 wells); Washington (306); Greene (189); Clearfield (63); Armstrong (49); and Indiana (20).
"Our eight wells look pretty puny compared to other counties," he said, adding that it is more difficult to obtain a permit in Jefferson County because much of the acreage is already taken by shallow wells.
Cassidy said much of the land is owned by coal companies that made agreements with the gas companies and an easier take-away due to the close proximity of a major pipeline.
Pennsylvania has always had one of the largest natural gas reserves in the Marcellus region, which until now was not economically feasible for which to drill.
Cassidy said not until the new horizontal drilling techniques were the oil and gas companies able to access the gas, which rests a mile or more below the surface, with a thickness between 50 and 200 feet.
Cassidy said the fracking process involves 90 percent water, nine percent sand and a small amount of chemicals.
Existing businesses that can benefit from Marcellus drilling in Jefferson County include machine shops, water delivery trucks, construction of low cost housing, restaurants and RV rentals to house temporary workers.
"We're fortunate to have the opportunity to service this industry while others won't," Cassidy said.
Chuck Allen, Penn State Cooperative Extension the College of Agricultural Sciences, said he, too, has no vested interest in oil and gas drilling.
Allen said the Marcellus drilling is an unconventional gas, and that the objective for the Chamber and other organizations is to keep as many dollars local.
The Barnett Shale located near Forth Worth, Texas, has just about run its course, which is why oil and gas companies are looking for new supplies. And that's why they have come to the Northeast, where most of its customers are located.
"There is a large uncertainty because most of the projections come from the Barnett Shale region in Texas," Allen said, adding that the industry is still so new here, that there's no data available on the Marcellus formation.
A Marcellus well requires 420 employees to drill every well, which equates to 13 full-time jobs and 18 well tenders once the drilling rigs and others.
Lellock said the Marcellus Shale Task Force will look into holding a future presentation about the dangers to the environment and ground water from this type of drilling.
Cassidy said Pennsylvania has the advantage of learning about deep well drilling from other states like Texas, which has who've been involved in this type of drilling for a long time.
Chamber President Jeff Curtis said Punxsy is behind on cashing in on the Marcellus industry, and is playing catch up.
"We need to enhance this industry to help Punxsy as a whole," he said.
Lellock said just recently, a drilling company that was looking to set up shop in town visited the Chamber, which was able to find a building for the company.
Lellock said the task force and Chamber is not sure what business opportunities there are out there.
"It's new to us all and we're looking to become a liaison for businesses and the well drilling industry," she said.
The Chambers seeks to establish a Web site for area businesses to advertise their services for the drilling industry. Anyone interested in being listed on the Web site should call 938-7700.
"All we have to do is look and see how well Armstrong, Indiana, Bradford and Washington counties are benefitting from well drilling," Cassidy said.

Torquay have completed the loan capture of QPR midfielder Joe Oastler on a month-long deal.
The 20-year-old initially only started training with the League Two outfit on Thursday but a deal has now been struck between Neil Warnock and Paul Buckle, providing the Gulls boss with a much-needed extra body for Saturday's clash at Crewe.
Oastler made his QPR debut as a 71st-minute substitute in April's 1-0 league win over Watford, before going on to make his second appearance from the bench in the London club's 3-1 Carling Cup first-round defeat to Port Vale earlier this season.

"To watch Murch at work is to see him delve into almost invisible specifics," writes Michael Ondaatje. This series of talks between the Canadian novelist and the American film and sound editor offers a treasure trove of nitty-gritty particulars about how movies are crafted. Walter Murch offers vivid, step-by-step explanations of the thought processes behind editing choices in such films as "The Godfather" (he did sound for all three), "Touch of Evil" (he edited the 1998 re-release that restored Orson Welles' original cut), and "Return to Oz" (his underrated 1985 debut as director). The discussion reminds us that moviemaking, at least as Murch and his collaborators practice it, can be a carefully reasoned and highly self-conscious art.
Though it's not a biography, the book also reveals a good deal about Murch's personality and artistic ethos. Highly intellectual and formidably well-informed about everything from classical music to quantum physics, he studied art history in Paris at the height of the French New Wave in the mid-1960s, made student pictures with George Lucas at USC, and joined the rebels at Zoetrope in 1969. He created and mixed the sound for "The Rain People," "THX 1138," and "American Graffiti," then added film editor to his job description for "The Conversation."
Outside the Zoetrope family he's worked with Fred Zinnemann, Philip Kaufman, Terry Zwigoff, and Anthony Minghella. This is not a guy who cares much about popcorn movies, even if he did edit "Ghost" and "I Love Trouble."
Murch edited film and sound for the movie version of Ondaatje's novel "The English Patient," and they became friends. The author proves an ideal interlocutor to spark the editor's reminiscences and analyses. The two men share a zest for concrete physical details combined with an almost mystical belief that by eliminating extraneous details you can discover "the emerging organic form" of an art work, which in their depiction seems to exist independently of its creators.
"It's like pruning trees in a landscape," remarks Ondaatje. "You've got 15 trees and you take out numbers three and seven and nine, and once they're gone you realize …" — "You see a whole different thing," interjects Murch, in a nice example of their conversational back-and-forth.
It's the film editor's job, Murch asserts, to "search for patterns, at both the superficial and ever deeper levels." When Ondaatje wonders is this means the editor has "a finer sense than the director of subliminal details and hidden structures in the film?" Murch replies firmly, "A talented director lays out opportunities that can be seized by other people (and then) protects that communal vision by accepting or rejecting certain contributions. The director is ultimately the immune system of the film."
Of Coppola, with whom he's made six films (seven if you count the bizarre "Captain Eo."), he remarks, "One of Francis's great strengths (is) finding ways to get his films to tap into his own personal experiences." When he can't make that connection, Murch adds, "it tends to become a more technical exercise."
The first conversation in the book took place while Murch was re-editing "Apocalypse Now" for the 2001 re-release that incorporated three major scenes cut before the film premiered in 1979, as well as minor additions that amplified the characters and made the film less episodic. (Not necessarily an improvement.)
The editor's reflections give an intimate portrait of the creative process in media res, when the final shape is by no means clear: "We're grafting these branches onto a tree that already had an organic, balanced structure," Murch says. "At this point, I don't know what the result will be." They also provide a sobering reminder (if any viewer of "Apocalypse Now" needed it) that even the most gifted people can go astray. "This is the funny, sexy, political version," the editor declares — an opinion that will not be shared by those who found that the new Playboy bunny scenes, the interlude at the French plantation, and more pontificating by Kurtz made "Apocalypse Now Redux" longer without solving any of the original's structural and thematic problems.
Neither Murch nor Ondaatje is a pretentious man, but they take their work seriously, and the tone of their discussions is high-minded, albeit rooted in down-to-earth details. Despite an abundance of famous names and good stories, this is not a book for devotees of celebrity memoirs or inside-show-biz histories.

No, you don't need law school or a college degree to become a lawyer in several states, including California. I have first-hand knowledge of this fact. I know this because I am one of approximately 64 people in the State of California to have passed both the Baby Bar Exam and General Bar Exam before obtaining any higher degree. (Hear the podcast now) I now have a successful injury law firm and am an expert on the subject of how to become a lawyer with no college or law school in California. I have been interviewed by many major media outlets, and am passing this below information so as to assist people just like you to make the world a better place.
The only formal education I had before I began the California State Bar Law Office Study Program, was some foreign language classes, a stint in the United States Marines, and some useless typing lessons at a community college. One cool thing about this program is that you don't need to waste tons of money when you study using the time-tested method of mentoring in a judge's chambers or law office.
You will Already Know Everything the Practicing Lawyers Know By Study in a Law Office
I became an experienced civil litigator by reading the law. The basics are: (1) Take the CLEP, or "College Level Equivalency Program" test. The second step after one year of consistent study is to pass the vaunted California First Year Law Student's Examination, known as the Baby Bar "FYSLX. " Once I passed the Baby Bar, I sat for the California Bar Examination 36 months or so later, after dedicated training under several skilled attorneys in various types of practices.
How to Become a Lawyer With No Law School?
You can also become an attorney in CA and a few other enlightened North American states using this method. Of course, the naysayers, especially law school grads, claim you only must attend law school and college to be a successful lawyer. Let us dis-spell this thought. We understand that the ABA accredits law schools. At the time of this writing, the ABA discouraged students and bar candidates from becoming a lawyer without law school, such as reading the law in a law office. This is true, even though this was the only way to become an attorney until the creation of expensive schools later on in U.S. history.
The States that Still Follow Historical Methodology:
As far as I know, 7 U.S. states will still let you read the law in a law office with no law school degree: (Source):
- Virginia;
- Washington;
- Wyoming;
- California;
- Maine;
- New York;
California's program is known as the California State Bar Law Office Study Program.
"Applicants who obtain legal education by . . . law office study must have four years of law study and take an examination after their first year. Applicants who pass the examination within three consecutive administrations of first becoming eligible to take it will receive credit for all law study completed to the date of the examination passed."
"Applicants may have completed 2/3 of graduation requirements from an ABA-accredited law school and within 12 months after successful completion pursued the study of law in the law office of an attorney in the active practice of law in Maine on a full-time basis for at least one year . . ."
- New York: "Law office study permitted after successful completion of one year at an ABA-approved law school." (See also)
- Vermont: "Four-year law office study program; must have completed three-fourths of work accepted for a bachelor's degree in a college approved by the Court before commencing the study of law."
- Wyoming: "Law office study permitted as a structured course comparable to 2 years at an ABA-approved law school Prior approval of independent study required." No special requirements are needed to become an attorney without law school in Virginia or Washington as far as I could determine. All of the above information came from the "Comprehensive Guide to Bar Admission Requirements 2004," published by the National Conference of Bar Examiners and American Bar Association Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar. Famous American Lawyers, presidents and Supreme Court justices who became attorneys without school.
Reading for the law is the way President Abraham Lincoln and other Supreme Court justices were able to become lawyers in the past, as well as me. Those high powered men learned by doing it in a law office as law clerks and apprentices. Historically, lawyers themselves read from Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England to learn the law and studied while clerking. After that, the candidate was orally examined by state supreme court judges. (Source.) The Bar Exam came along hundreds of years later.
In fact, here is a list of famous men who did it the old way.
- Patrick Henry (1736-1799), member of the Continental Congress, governor of Virginia;
- John Jay (1745-1829), first chief justice of the Supreme Court;
- John Marshall (1755-1835), chief justice of the Supreme Court;
- William Wirt (1772-1834), attorney general;
- Roger B. Taney (1777-1864), secretary of the treasury, chief justice of the Supreme Court;
- Daniel Webster (1782-1852), secretary of state;
- Salmon P. Chase (1808-1873), senator, chief justice of the Supreme Court;
- Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), president;
- Stephen Douglas (1813-1861), representative, senator from Illinois;
- Clarence Darrow (1857-1938), a defense attorney in Scopes trial of 1925. [Clarence Darrow went to law school for one year and preferred to study law on his own. He received most of his legal education in a law office in Youngstown, Ohio;
- Robert Storey (b. 1893), president of the American Bar Association (1952-1953);
- J. Strom Thurmond (b. 1902), senator, governor of South Carolina;
- James O. Eastland (b. 1904), Senator from Mississippi Wallechinsky, David, "The Book of Lists," 1977 (Web Source)
Importance of the Bar Exam Itself – ABA Resistance to Law Office Study
I personally feel that the Bar Exam is a helpful way to measure acceptability to the Courts via the California State Bar. I disagree that people should not be allowed to take the Bar without law school. People in other states should be able to take and pass the Bar Exam without college or law school, who are otherwise qualified. Less fortunate, who would otherwise be excellent attorneys should be able to practice law. I am fearful the California State Bar, and other out of State Bars will further eliminate this valuable program due in large part by pressure from government officials to standardize the study of law in their bureaucratic image. There is another path to success other than law school.
Law Office Study in California – Requirements
The Bar Candidate must first have the equivalent of an AA degree. The Bar Candidate will need to score high on the CLEP if he does not have college. (College Level Equivalency Program). [This is what I did] The Bar Candidate must take and pass the First Year Law Students Exam (FYLSX) (aka "Baby Bar Exam") within the first three (3) attempts. Or he or she will only receive credit for law office study for the first year and not for the study when retaking the Baby Bar the previous three (3) attempts. The Bar Candidate must study under a judge or lawyer for four (4) years, being tested once per month by a supervising judge or attorney.
The Bar Candidate must take and pass the California State Bar General Bar Exam and pass it. The Bar Candidate should know enough practice and procedure to immediately go into practice without having to work in a sweat shop defense firm or something like it because he or she will already know as much about the area of practice he or she studied under as a seasoned four (4) year attorney.
Study law under a lawyer who practices in the field of law that you want to practice in once you pass the Bar Exam. You will always have work when you finally pass and get sworn. This equals freedom!

If A.J. Jenkins had yet to call his dad on a given day last season, he would receive a text asking him to do so.
Those daily chats are a big reason Jenkins stayed sane during a challenging, unproductive, heavily scrutinized rookie season with the San Francisco 49ers. Their top draft pick last year, he didn't make a single catch while spending most of his time watching from the sidelines.
He was on the active roster in only three games for the two-time defending division champion and Super Bowl runner-up.
The 49ers are now counting on Jenkins after top 2012 wideout Michael Crabtree had surgery on his right Achilles tendon after tearing it during a practice May 21.
Jenkins spent about two months this offseason living and training with quarterback Colin Kaepernick in Atlanta. All of those pep talks from his dad sure seem to be paying off, too.
"He's my father. He just told me, 'Be patient, be humble about it,' because my time is going to be there," Jenkins recalled. "Him being my dad, he's going to call me every single day. That's kind of how it was. Every day he'd call because he'd read some blog that had him thinking all negative."
Jenkins, the 49ers' 30th overall pick in the first round of the 2012 draft out of Illinois, seemed to face criticism by the week — for his fundamentals, footwork, knowledge of the playbook, inconsistencies making the jump from college to the pros, you name it.
Last week, he had his best series of practices yet since joining the Niners. Coach Jim Harbaugh said it, offensive coordinator Greg Roman spoke of it during the team's minicamp, and Jenkins agreed with them both.
"The last two days of last week, he had the two best days he's had since I've been here," Roman said. "Just made some clutch catches for us when we were moving the ball. Just made plays, did all the right things, made plays when he had the opportunity and he just needs to continue doing that."
Jenkins has added strength to his 6-foot frame, playing nearly 10 pounds heavier at 200 pounds.
Aside from his training alongside Kaepernick and fellow wide receiver Ricardo Lockette, Jenkins committed himself to studying so he wouldn't fall behind like he did before. That also includes observing new teammate Anquan Boldin, acquired in a trade from the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens.
"I just pretty much had my head in the playbook last week a lot, and I knew what I had to do and I played fast," he said. "It took me a while because I wasn't used to so many plays. They install every single day. It's the constant install. If you don't know what's going on the previous day, the next install is the very next day, so you're behind because you don't know what's going on. Your mind kind of wanders off a little bit. It's kind of like school all over again. You've got to constantly study the playbook."
Getting to know Kaepernick as more than just a teammate is something Jenkins cherished — and something he hopes carries over into their chemistry on the field.
"I had never really hung out with him outside of football, so I was just going down there with him, chilling with him, staying with him, getting to know who he is and who I am as a person," Jenkins said.
Even during organized team activities last month, Jenkins acknowledged a change in his mindset, confidence and work ethic.
"I'm a lot better than I was last year around this time," he said.
Jenkins had 90 catches for 1,276 yards and eight touchdowns in his senior season for the Fighting Illini and led the Big Ten Conference with an average of 6.92 receptions per game. He caught 19 TD passes during his four-year college career.
Now, Jenkins wants to make the jump to the NFL at last and show he belongs at the highest level.
"I think there's a natural process that goes on, a comfort level and that's something that's growing all the time and needs to continue to grow," Roman said.
Jenkins had established a new approach well before Crabtree was injured last month.
"My mindset going into this offseason was just trying to play more, regardless of whether Crabtree was hurt or not," he said. "It's unfortunate that he got an injury, but my mindset didn't waver at all because he got hurt."
And if Jenkins turns things around as he hopes this season, he will still be talking to his dad all the time — but certainly having more positive conversations.
They find a way to chat even considering the three-hour time difference with Al Jenkins living in Jacksonville, Fla.
"My dad stays up all night, regardless of what time it is," Jenkins said. "He was going to be up so I could talk to him."
NOTES: CB Carlos Rogers is recovering from an undisclosed injury, but Harbaugh and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio expect him to be fully healthy for training camp. ... DE Justin Smith also plans to be full strength for the start of camp late next month. He is working back from a partially torn left triceps that required surgery shortly after the team's 34-31 Super Bowl loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

I had some concerns, doing flags that aren't country/state/location only, like the Christian or the Rainbow flags, but I figure that these are a way to give information about the person posting. If someone identifies with a certain flag, I don't see a problem with it. As long as people don't start fights over flags, we should be just fine.
These are great! Thank you, Ticia!
Lisbeth: I experimented before I ever offered to do them, because I was curious about that too, but I never did figure out a way to make it work. Sorry!
Ok, the flag idea is cute, but why do some posters have multiple flags? I might understand 2 if you're an expat (although it'd be nice if you said which is which) but how does location help others at all if you have 3 flags and no one knows where you actually live? And now state flags? Unless they're labeled, people aren't going to know that's not another country... It doesnt seem very useful in those cases.

TRENTON — Because visiting Colonial Valley Conference girls teams win so infrequently at Tornado Alley, you overlook all the turnovers, missed shots and defensive lapses just to come away with a win.
The Hopewell Valley girls didn't play their best game of the season on Tuesday — in fact it might have been one of their poorest. Jeff Losch wasn't complaining — instead, he had his first coaching win in Tornado Alley to compensate for the inconsistent play.
His 8-1 HoVal girls made it 23 straight CVC wins over two seasons by using a fast start and an even faster finish to beat Trenton, 41-27, and stay atop the Patriot Division at 6-0.
"You will not see a work of art from us all year," said Losch, who knew 14 for 44 shooting, 28 turnovers and a 2-point second quarter are things that seldom happen to his girls.
It didn't cost them a loss this time because 4-4 Trenton was even sloppier, shooting 11 for 55, throwing the ball away 19 times and making only one of its first 20 shots in the second half.
"We shot poorly, very poorly. Under the basket, the easiest shot, and we couldn't make it," said Trenton coach Reggie Murray, who saw HoVal beat his team for the second year in a row as the Tornadoes fell to 3-3. It was the lowest point total Trenton had since a 24-23 overtime loss at HoVal in 2006.
"Our defense was there, but if you don't finish, this is what happens. We had it down to 18-16 (early in the second half) then six shots in a row don't go. They (HV) did a great job, but we should have done a lot better. We had our opportunties to score," Murray added.
Trenton's misses weren't so much due to HoVal's defense, but more because of the Tornadoes' five and six misses on a possession downcourt. Except for 3-pointers by Khjira Petersopn that started each half, Trenton put two baskets together only twice in the game.
Once Peterson cut HoVal's lead to three, old reliable Kara Hageman scored off a rebound and added a foul shot. Then scoring sidekick Nellie Tanguay drained a 3-pointer and Jenn Didun a layup at 0:17, and suddenly the lead was back to 12. A Tanguay trey and layup around a Hageman hoop kept the Bulldogs at least 10 ahead to secure their fifth straight win.
Hageman's eight points, 14 rebounds and seven blocks, combined with Shelby Butler's nine points and Tanguay's 14 points were all crucial in this victory.
"You can't simulate in practice what Trenton's defense can do to you," said Losch, who felt that Hageman's defense inside forced a lot of Trenton's misses before she or Butler came away with big rebounds.
For a game that wasn't pretty, nobody on the HoVal bench was complaining because a win at Tornado Alley wipes away anything bad you may have done.
Didun 3-2-8, Tanguay 5-1-14, Mintz 0-0-0, Hageman 3-2-8, Butler 2-5-9, Yusko 0-0-0, Griffin 0-0-0, Winand 1-0-2, Winters 0-0-0. TOTALS: 14-10-41
Tatum 2-0-4, Square 1-0-2, Hemingway 0-1-1, Peterson 3-0-8, Best 0-0-0, Wilson 0-0-0, McCallum 5-0-10, Grier 0-0-0, Clark 0-2-2, Thompson 0-0-0. TOTALS: 11-3-27

The Michigan State Police (MSP) will partner with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and other local law enforcement agencies for National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day to provide a venue for citizens to dispose of unwanted and unused prescription drugs.
MSP's 29 posts will participate in the one-day 'Take-Back' effort between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday, April 27, by serving as drop-off points for citizens to discard expired, unused and unwanted medications for destruction. No liquids, inhalers, patches or syringes will be accepted. The service is free and anonymous with no questions asked.
"It is important for Michigan residents to have a safe and confidential way to dispose of unwanted or unused prescription drugs," said Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue, director of the MSP. "Take-Back Day provides a convenient way for them to do so and helps prevent potential hazards of the misuse of these medications."

We are less than 20 games into the 2013/14 NBA season, but so far, the Atlantic division has been the worst division in terms of win-loss records.
Entering the season, the division had big names like the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets as well as the Toronto Raptors.
The Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics entered the season looking like they were going to compete at the bottom end of the Eastern Conference.
However, an unpredictable start to the season has seen the division completely tipped on its head.
Boston and Philadelphia lead the division and the two teams from New York are ranked in the bottom three in the conference.
Here, we assess the start made by each team in the Atlantic Division....

Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - DeMar DeRozan scored a career-high 40 points and the Toronto Raptors rallied past the Dallas Mavericks, 93-85, on Wednesday.
Greivis Vasquez added 17 points and seven assists for the Raptors, who lead the idle Brooklyn Nets by 2 1/2 games for first place in the Atlantic Division. Jonas Valanciunas tallied 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Monta Ellis ended with 21 points and eight turnovers for the Mavericks, who have lost three straight against Toronto. Jose Calderon and Brandan Wright each donated 13 points.
"We have to do better," Dallas swingman Vince Carter said. "I think we have to zero in on staying focused and staying the course. A game we should have won, regardless of whether Dirk (Nowitzki) was on the floor or not."
The Mavericks came out of the gate on fire, scoring 34 points in the first quarter. With the score tied 3 1/2 minutes into the game, Dallas used a 26-5 run to build a 21-point lead.
DeRozan stopped the surge with a pair of free throws, cutting the Dallas margin to 34-15 after 12 minutes of action.
The Raptors got back in the game with a 31-point second frame. Toronto went on a 17-4 spurt at the start of the period to cut the gap to six, 38-32.
The home team got within three, 49-46, on DeRozan's jumper with 36.9 seconds to go. Calderon responded with a 12-foot jumper to give Dallas a 51-46 edge at the half.
The Mavericks took a 73-68 lead into the fourth quarter after each team scored 22 points in the third.
Trailing 80-75 with 7:25 to play, Toronto scored five straight points to tie the game.
DeRozan converted a three-point play to give the Raptors an 85-82 lead with 3:38 left, but Wright answered with a jump hook.
Amir Johnson made a 3-pointer on Toronto's next possession to make it a four- point game. After Wright went one of two from the foul line, Johnson was unable to finish an alley-oop dunk. Ellis followed with a turnover and Johnson was still under the Mavericks basket for an easy slam.
After Calderon turned the ball over, DeRozan reached the 40-point mark with a fast-break dunk.
"The first quarter, I thought it was going to be a blowout, but the second half we kind of got things under control," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said.
Game Notes
Dallas played without Nowitzki, who got the night off ... Toronto guard Kyle Lowry went 0-for-10 from the field and ended with three points ... Raptors forward Landry Fields will be sidelined for several weeks after having surgery on his right wrist ... Toronto went 22-of-32 from the foul line.
