Busy Time For Raider Scouts
Prince Albert, SK – While the Prince Albert Raiders haven't played a game since March 18, it is still an extremely busy and important time for the organization.
Since the end of the regular season, the Raider scouts – including General Manager Curtis Hunt and Director of Player Personnel Ron Gunville – have been travelling across Western Canada to make a final push in evaluating talent ahead of next Thursday's WHL Bantam Draft.
Gunville said he and his scouts have been visiting all of the provincial camps in the during the last month, beginning in Manitoba, then hitting Saskatchewan and British Columbia. After each provincial weekend, his teams get together and rank those players.
He is currently in Alberta for Hockey Alberta's provincial camps, which he called the most heavily scouted of all the weekends. By the end of this weekend, Gunville said they should have their final draft list in place.
"We'll fine tune it a little bit more and make phone calls and talk to agents and get everything in place," Gunville said. "(Then) we will come up with a strategy and just see where it goes from there."
At that point, Hunt, Gunville, and the scouts will try to piece together the draft as they see it.
"We'll have a map for draft day and all the different scenarios that could play out," Gunville said.
While there is some planning to do, the way the draft plays out will be determined by the Raiders. They hold the first overall selection after winning the WHL Bantam Draft Lottery on March 22. The last time the Raiders picked first overall was the 2001 WHL Bantam Draft when they selected Kyle Chipchura.
In total, the Raiders hold 15 picks in Thursday's draft. The 2017 WHL Bantam Draft takes place on Thursday, May 4 in Calgary, AB.
Season ticket packages for the 2017-18 campaign are now available. Early bird pricing is in effect until Monday, June 15. Stop the Raider Office for more information or click here.

Day 217 (Australia – Top End)
Today really surprised me with how well it went. I got into a great rhythm with a slight tail wind that took me for 40km for my first leg. I was then able to set my sights on Victoria River, which I wasn't expecting to reach until tomorrow. I pushed on for another 30km before resting again. I had fairly regular cloud cover which kept the temperature down. Then it was only another 20km. I made it by noon. At the roadhouse I devoured a Calippo and a beer before eating my packed lunch under the shade of a tree. I went back inside for a Powerade and sat at the bar, chatting to a guy called Ian and watching Australia whoop NZ in the first day of a test match. Because cricket is a bit boring (yep), I went outside for a snooze under a tree. It was too hot to sleep so I just listened to some music for a while and rested. I ate one of my snacks under the roadhouse verandah before returning inside and treating myself to a burger and coke. I lazily watched the cricket till 5pm, then jumped back on the bike and rode to Sullivan's Campground. I gingerly collected water for a bath from the river – I was too scared of crocs to go for a proper swim – and ate a can of peaches and some biscuits. Now I am chilling out on a park bench as it gets dark. Storm clouds are looming over me and every so often a clap of thunder sounds and a bolt of lightning flashes.

Pinyin: Shan Zhu Yu Latin: Cornus Fructus Officinalis
Cornus Fructus Officinalis is a decidious Shrub growing to 10m by 10m hardy to zone 6 not frost tender in flower from February to March, and the seeds ripen in September. The Corni Officinalis flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by Insects. The plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils and can grow in heavy clay soil. The plant prefers acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils, can grow in very alkaline soil, can grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade and requires moist soil.
Edible Parts: Fruit.*
Cornus Fructus Fruit is used raw or cooked[105, 177]. The fully ripe fruit is quite pleasant but slightly astringent[K]. They are about 1.5cm long[200]. The fruit contains about 8.6% sugars, 2.9% malic acid, 0.74% ash[179].*
Shan Zhu Yu has been used for at least 2,000 years in Chinese herbal medicine. Cornus Fructus is a herb that "stabilizes and binds" and is used principally to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding and unusually active secretions including copious sweating, excessive urine, spermatorrhoea and premature ejaculation[147, 238, 254].*
Like all herbs that suppress bodily fluids (even excessive ones), Shan Zhu Yu will simply prolong or lead to a worsening of symptoms if it is used without tonic or detoxifying herbs[254]. It is, therefore, normally used in combination with herbs such as Rehmannia glutinosa and is an ingredient of the "Pill of eight ingredients" which is used in China to "warm up and invigorate the yang of the loins"[254].*
The Cornus Officinalis fruit is antibacterial, antifungal, hypotensive, antitumor, astringent, diuretic, hepatic and tonic[116, 147, 176, 178, 238]. The fruit, without the seed, is decocted for the treatment of arthritis, fever and a wide range of other ailments[218, 279]. Cornus Officinalis used in the treatment of senile lumbago, diabetes, cystitis, tinnitus etc[174, 254, 279].*
The Corni Officinalis fruit has an antibacterial action, inhibiting the growth of Bacillus dysenteriae and Staphylococcus[176]. The fruit is harvested when fully ripe and is dried for later use[238]. The stem bark is astringent, antimalarial and tonic[218]. The plant is antibacterial, diuretic, hypotensive and a urinary antiseptic[218].*

Stickers, fliers, banners, etc.!
[The terms "anti-white" and "white genocide" are now in the mainstream, thanks to being hammered, hammered, hammered there by the same folk — Whitaker's BUGSers — who offer you the Whitaker phrasings below to also hammer, hammer, hammer at every opportunity !]
Hammer the term "anti-white" everywhere!
The success of the phrase "Anti-White"
March of the Stop White Genocide memes!
An Anti-White By Any Other Name
Hammer the term "White Genocide" everywhere!
Once that stubborn relative of yours is already using the term "Anti-White" because it's been repeated to him in the Media and elsewhere a thousand times, you'll find him easier to talk to.
When Whites view the world through the lens of "Anti-White" and "White Genocide," instead of through the lens of the r-word, it will be a new world for whites.
(that's a link)
Hammer the Stop White Genocide memes below into the mainstream!
Diversity is a code word for White Genocide
"Diversity" means chasing down the last white person
White self-hatred is SICK!!!
Asia for the Asians, Africa for the Africans, white countries for EVERYBODY!
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white
It's not okay to be anti-white
Pro-whites want a future with white children
Anti-whites want a future with no child left white
The billboards are links to News articles about them.
"That spell of a Dream World is broken when the long, hypnotic stream of clichés is interrupted by real world words like 'genocide' and 'chasing whites down.'" — Bob Whitaker
(These three lines, the last two from Bob, make a good posting):
No school, no town, no country is allowed to be White.
"We have found some White people, chase 'em down, bring in minorities…
'Diversity' means chasing down the last White person."
Bob especially liked this arrangement of his memes to repeat as fliers or emails, or its parts can be used individually:
Asia for the Asians, Africa for the Africans, White countries for EVERYBODY!
Mass third world immigration is promoted in EVERY white country and ONLY in white countries.
Whites are forced by law and encouraged by propaganda to integrate with those third worlders so as to "assimilate," i.e. intermarry and be blended out of existence or reduced to a small minority.
Massive immigration and forced assimilation is called genocide when it's done in Tibet.
When it's done in White countries it's called "diversity."
Diversity is a code word for White Genocide.
Our schools teach White students that they are immoral and contemptible if they don't support White Genocide.
Their teachers never tell them, "White self-hatred is SICK!!!"
Their teachers claim to be anti-racist. What they are is anti-White.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.
No school, no town, no country is allowed to be White.
"We have found some White people, chase 'em down, bring in minorities…"
"Diversity" means chasing down the last White person.
Bob's Mantra as a flier, email or (best of all) a recitation, is the super weapon for focusing white minds on White Genocide, and is the best explanation of White Genocide. Like all the above, its effectiveness increases with continued repetition. That's why we call all this stuff "Mantra."
The Mantra
Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to "assimilate," i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I'm not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn't object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.
The Stop White Genocide Video — spread it!
The best answer to that question is the Mantra, just above. Here's a briefer answer (the links are just a bonus):
White Genocide is the flooding of EVERY white country and ONLY white countries with third-worlders, and using law and propaganda to force white integration/assimilation with those third worlders that will blend whites out of existence or reduce whites to small minorities.
Add these to your repeater toolkit! Responding to Anti-Whites, Whitaker Stings.
We'll build this section with many more repeaters you can use as we gather them up — check back from time to time.
- An anti-white calls you "Nazi," "racist," "white supremacist"?
"Nazi" is a slur anti-whites hide behind to carry out White Genocide.
You're just saying that because I'm white. Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.
Always bring it back to "anti-white" and White Genocide!
2. "White privilege"?
'White Privilege' to you anti-whites just means White existence
'White Privilege' to you anti-whites just means White people living and thriving
'White Privilege' to the anti-whites just means White people who haven't been force-assimilated out of existence, i.e.White Genocide
'White Privilege' to the anti-whites just means Whites who've evaded White Genocide
'White Privilege' to the anti-whites just means White people existing in White countries
'White Privilege' to anti-whites just means White people existing
Always bring it back to "anti-white" and White Genocide!
"White privilege" is a code word for White Genocide
That article with its title is very good to post or link at any discussion of "white privilege." But just the title alone, without the article, doesn't work well as a stand-alone meme.
..3. "Hate"?
You're not anti-hate. You're just anti-white.
4. "Opposed to intermarriage"?
"You are saying that this whole program of immigration and assimilation and chasing down every white on earth who wants to live in a white community is just for True Love?"
4. "Marriage between races is 'voluntary'"?
"Peoples who are forced to live together make babies. We didn't vote to have our countries flooded with non-whites, nor for laws that force us to mix with the non-whites, nor to be hammered with constant propaganda that we are 'racist' if we do NOT want to intermarry with the non-whites. None of that was voluntary. You're an anti-white who makes excuses for White Genocide."
5. "Have babies"?
Anti-white: "You just need to make more babies."
Pro-white: "Whites don't deserve to survive unless we can outbreed the third world in our own countries? What's your next stupid excuse for White Genocide, anti-white?"
Beefcake's Bootcamp is excellent for those who want advanced training! (I suggest starting with podcast #3, WE have the Moral Highground)
WHITE GENOCIDE explained in ONE SENTENCE that you can spread!

text: I'm a NP who works in the Stockton/Sacramento area. One of my boating buddies is a RN at Kaiser. He has been there 10 years and is a charge nurse on a med/surg floor. I didn't believe it until he showed me but he does make a base of $200k a year. With overtime he clears a little of $350,000. This is due to Kaiser in Northern California being unionized. He lives in Modesto which is a low cost of living area but the contracts for the union are tied in with San Francisco which leads to high hourly wages. At retirement he is guaranteed at least $110k annually for life and lifetime medical benefits with any medical insurer he chooses whether it is Kaiser or not. I read the contract and couldn't believe what I was reading but there it was. SO as a NP it makes me want to jump to Kaiser but......if I was to start at Kaiser with 10 years of NP experience under my belt I still wouldn't be making as much as my friend. Disturbing??? Maybe....I'm happy for him. It just lets me know that there really are those rare RNs who make more than NPs....way, way more and more than most primary care MDs working on the floor. It makes you wonder if this model is sustainable. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't let anybody bully you. I meet Christians all the time who think all the smart people are on the other side. That's not true. And if you don't know how to defend your faith, that's OK; we've got people who do. And we're community; we don't all have to know how because we have different roles to play. But we have people in our community who are as smart as the people on the other side and we know what we're talking about. You don't need to let anybody bully you because what the Scriptures teach at the end of the day makes sense and they're reasonable and we have nothing to be ashamed of in believing in the Creator God that we believe in.

Meyer-less No. 5 Ohio State routs Oregon St 77-31 in opener
By MITCH STACY
AP Sports Writer
Sunday, September 2
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State came into the opener with a stand-in coach and a new starting quarterback after a truly bizarre preseason that led to a three-game suspension for coach Urban Meyer.
The day worked out OK for the offensively prolific No. 5 Buckeyes, though their defense might still be more of a work in progress than expected.
New starter Dwayne Haskins Jr. threw for a record five touchdowns as Ohio State scored on five of its first six possessions and cruised to a 77-31 rout of overmatched Oregon State on Saturday.
The Buckeyes shook off Meyer's first absence from the sideline in six years, piling up 721 yards and tying the record for points scored in an opener. Meyer will be allowed to return to practice on Monday, although his suspension by the university will last for two more games. He was sanctioned after an investigation showed he mismanaged former assistant Zach Smith, who was accused of domestic violence and other bad behavior.
The scandal has dogged the program for the past month. Acting coach Ryan Day wasn't surprised the Buckeyes started strong, jumping ahead 21-7 in the first quarter and going ahead 42-14 at halftime.
"There was a quiet confidence about this team all along," said Day, the co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Haskins, who took the keys from four-year starter J.T. Barrett, was 22 for 30 for 313 yards. The five touchdowns and yards gained are records for a first-time Ohio State starter.
Day coached from the sideline, with co-offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson in the press box.
"I didn't notice anything different," Haskins said. "Just having coach Wilson on the field vs. coach Day, they both did a great job giving advice, communicating with me after the drives. There wasn't any stress with that."
Oregon State was able to exploit the Ohio State defense, just not enough.
Quarterback Conor Blount, forced into duty when starter Jake Luton went out with a possible concussion on the game's sixth play, found plenty of cracks, throwing for 169 yards and two touchdowns. But he also was sacked five times in the first half, twice by All-American defensive end Nick Bosa.
Running back Artavis Pierce slashed the Ohio State secondary for touchdowns of 80 and 78 yards on two of the Beavers' first three plays from scrimmage in the second half. Oregon State piled up 392 offensive yards.
"Obviously, falling short isn't fun, but when you go out and put 31 points on a defense like that, I think it says there's a bright future here," Blount said.
One of the questions in training camp was how Ohio State was going to use talented backs Mike Weber and J.K. Dobbins.
Day platooned the pair Saturday until the backups took over in the second half.
Weber was the star , showing the form he displayed two seasons ago when he rushed for over 1,000 yards. A leg injury slowed him last year and that allowed true freshman Dobbins to grab the limelight.
Weber had 20 carries for 186 yards and three touchdowns. Dobbins had 15 for 74 yards.
"We talked about it, think about it a lot," Weber said. "It's the reason I came back. We knew that we were going to split carries. But splitting carries is actually good on the bodies for both of us."
Oregon State: Showed some fight and big-play ability, but the Beavers made too many mistakes and couldn't slow down Ohio State's more talented offensive players.
"There's lots of things to learn from, and be encouraged by," first-year Oregon State coach Jonathan Smith said. "We were in position to make some plays, we didn't tackle all that well."
Ohio State: Shook off all the disruptive off-the-field events of the preseason, scored a lot early and did what it was expected to do, albeit with some holes in the defense. The Buckeyes have another tuneup game next weekend before getting a test against TCU in Dallas in two weeks. Haskins looks like the real deal.
Oregon State: Beavers host Southern Utah in home opener on Saturday.
Ohio State: Buckeyes will be big favorites again when they host Rutgers on Saturday.

Ohio State saga points to haziness of coaches policing staff
By KANTELE FRANKO
Associated Press
Monday, September 3
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — What got Urban Meyer in hot water? The suspended Ohio State football coach puts it this way: "My fault was in not taking action sooner against a troubled employee about his work-related issues."
That now-fired assistant coach had been accused of past spousal violence as well as embarrassing sexual conduct, drug abuse and financial irresponsibility. Outside investigators found some of that affected his work life.
Meyer's comments about handling that and the ensuing debate about his punishment point to a bigger question in college athletics: To what extent are coaches responsible for policing their staff's off-field behavior?
Here was Meyer — a coach attentive enough to have staff remind players in advance about drunken-driving checkpoints around Columbus in July — apologizing for not doing more about an assistant who had demonstrated troubling behavior for years, according to outside investigators.
"I should have been more demanding of him in the same way I am of my players, other staff members, and myself," Meyer, who is suspended for three games but is allowed to resume coaching practices this week, said as he apologized on Aug. 22.
His mea culpa comes just months after the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics recommended that the NCAA create minimum professional standards to ensure coaches are prepared for their leadership roles.
Mastering Xs and Os is different than navigating sensitive personnel matters. To address that, the commission envisions coaches in all sports getting the same training that department heads and other supervisors receive about responding to staff misconduct and other human resources issues, said Amy Perko, the CEO of the commission, which advocates changes to support "the educational mission of college sports."
"In many cases, coaches have really never received any type of training on some of the more administrative aspects of their job," Perko said.
Yet as highly paid standard-bearers in big-time college sports, such coaches are often publicly viewed as responsible for their programs and the people in them, sometimes even beyond the scope of what's outlined in university policies and NCAA rules.
The coaching responsibilities highlighted by the Ohio State saga are about responding when inappropriate behavior comes to light, not about proactively monitoring employees' private lives, said Stephen Ross, director of the Penn State Institute for Sports Law, Policy and Research, who emphasized that he doesn't speak for his university.
"Seeing what happened to Urban Meyer, I do not think that (Alabama coach) Nick Saban, right now as he's getting ready for a football game, is required to bring his coaches into his office on a one-on-one situation and inquire as to their domestic life," Ross said.
But sports leaders at other universities may learn something from the Ohio State situation about how to handle these kinds of issues, said Bob Vecchione, executive director of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, an educational body.
"Maybe they have to peel the onion back a little further, because they had things in place, and maybe now they just need to take it to a new level," Vecchione said.
The two-week outside investigation conducted for Ohio State concluded that Meyer and athletic director Gene Smith mistakenly believed they didn't need to do more about domestic abuse allegations against assistant coach Zach Smith back in 2015 unless law enforcement took action against him. Zach Smith wasn't charged in the 2015 matter, denied being aggressive with his ex-wife and wasn't fired until late July, after his ex-wife asked a judge for a protective order.
Meyer has emphasized that he doesn't condone domestic violence, didn't believe Zach Smith abused his wife, tried to help the struggling couple, and reported what he thought was required to the university. But Meyer's defensiveness also has drawn him more criticism, with some observers arguing he should've publicly apologized to Smith's wife sooner and challenging his insistence that he didn't lie to reporters this summer about his knowledge of the 2015 incident.
Meyer said his decisions to repeatedly give his assistant the benefit of the doubt and not press for more information about allegations against him were probably influenced by loyalty to Zach Smith's grandfather, former Ohio State coach and Meyer mentor Earle Bruce.
Ann Skeet, the senior director of leadership ethics at Santa Clara University's Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, argues that Meyer especially had an obligation to get more facts about the domestic abuse allegations because relationship violence has been a recurring issue in football and the male-dominated sport has "a built-in blind spot organizationally in terms of what the lived experience of women who are interacting with them might be."
Like leaders in all sorts of businesses, Meyer had to decide where to draw a line between the professional and personal behavior of employees and whether to take action, she said. But his promises to learn from his acknowledged mistakes might also provide an opportunity.
"He can be positioning himself as a resource for the sport in a tough area if he chooses to," Skeet said, "and that's the best of what you'd like to see from a leader who accepts leadership broadly, not just on the field."

Urban Meyer is back with Buckeyes, but not all the way
By MITCH STACY
AP Sports Writer
Monday, September 3
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State coach Urban Meyer returned to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Monday for the first time in a month, arriving before dawn for a staff meeting.
Under the terms of his suspension by Ohio State, Meyer can be on campus, talk to assistants and conduct practice, but he is required to disappear for the 24-hour period surrounding the next two games. He'll be back on the sideline for the Sept. 22 home game against Tulane.
Players were off Monday so Meyer won't see most of them until practice Tuesday afternoon.
"Coach came back today, we had a meeting early this morning, he met with of the players, so things are back to normal," acting coach Ryan Day said during his news conference. "Obviously he won't be there for game day, but everything else is back to normal."
Day was put in charge when Meyer was put on paid leave and then suspended by the university for his mismanagement of now-fired assistant coach Zach Smith, who was accused of domestic violence and other troubling behavior.
Day led the Buckeyes to an opening day 77-31 rout of Oregon State on Saturday, a game in which new starting quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. threw for five touchdowns but also raised questions about a defense that gave up several big plays to the overmatched Beavers.
Meyer will be in charge during the week, and Day will manage the next two games from the sideline. The co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach typically works from the press box on game day.
"We're just going to kind of pick it up from when coach was here," Day said. "He'll be with the team on Friday, he can't be with them on Saturday, but other than that we'll keep the routine."
The Buckeyes will be heavy favorites again Saturday when they host Rutgers, but will get an early test against TCU in Dallas on Sept. 15.
Day smiled when asked about Meyer's critique of the Oregon State game.
"I think his comment was, 'You only had to punt once, huh?'" Day said.
Defensive coordinator Greg Schiano said Meyer didn't waste any time Monday morning.
"It was good," Schiano said. "Excited to have him back, everybody is. Coach is a very focused guy, as you know, and we got it done, got back to it."
Day received high marks from players for his running of Saturday's game.
"He was just happy we stayed steady in the fold and believed in him," receiver Terry McLaurin said. "He was just happy to be a part of the team."
NOTES: Schiano said the Ohio State allowed 82 percent of Oregon State's 392 offensive yards on just seven plays, including runs of 80 and 78 yards by Artavis Pierce. He called that "unacceptable." … Haskins, whose 313 yards and five TDs were records for a first-time Buckeyes starting QB, was chosen Big Ten offensive player of the week. … Safety Jordan Fuller, who sat out with a hamstring injury, is day-to-day.

OSU's interim coach speaks
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The coordinator filling in for Urban Meyer while the Ohio State head coach serves a three game suspension said on Monday that investigators did not interview him as part of their probe on what Meyer knew about domestic violence allegations made against another assistant coach.
Co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Ryan Day in a news conference he had nothing to say about the investigation involving his boss as well as fired colleague Zach Smith, who had coached receivers.
Day declined to answer questions about the scandal, saying he was choosing not to comment "out of respect for everybody involved."
Day has run the team since Meyer was put on leave two days before training camp opened Aug. 3.
Investigators said in a report released by Ohio State that they interviewed at least 40 witnesses, including key football staff members. Ohio State didn't immediately respond to messages on Monday seeking comment on why Day wasn't interviewed and which coaches were.
"Regarding the details of the investigation, I know everyone in here has a job to do, but I was not part of the investigation, I was not interviewed, so I have nothing to add," Day said during his first media availability of the preseason.
Meyer was suspended Wednesday following a two-week investigation that found Meyer and athletic director Gene Smith tolerated bad behavior for years, including allegations of domestic abuse against Zach Smith, the grandson of former Ohio State coach and Meyer mentor Earle Bruce.
"I understand there's been a lot of pain and stress for a lot of people surrounding the last few weeks," Day said. "Our program has been working hard, our coaches and team have been working hard during that time to get ready for the season."
Regarding the uncertainty of the past three weeks over Meyer's future with the program, Day said he didn't see any signs of that wearing on players until Thursday morning when their demeanor made it clear they had stayed up late watching the televised news conference announcing the suspension.
Day is trying to prepare the Buckeyes for the first home opener in six years without Meyer on the sideline. It helps that they likely won't have to do much heavy lifting. The Buckeyes host Oregon State, a 1-11 team last year that comes in as 38-point underdogs.
Day said he has gotten important support from co-offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson and defensive coordinator Greg Schiano, both of whom have experience as head coaches.
"It has been a whirlwind," Day said. "But my goal in this was not to replace Coach (Meyer). That's not what I wanted to do. What I wanted to do was empower the coaches, empower the leaders and just keep this thing moving, and I think we've done that."
Day said he'll coach from the sideline and call the offensive plays in conjunction with Wilson. He said the team is being led as if Meyer was still present.
"Ryan is certainly qualified to do this," Schiano said. "Kevin Wilson, myself and the rest of the staff have done this a long time. That all said, we have to step it up. We're missing our leader, we're one down right now."
NOTES: Day said former guard Michael Jordan will start at center, following the departure of Billy Price, who was an All-American last season. Brady Taylor, who seemed to be the one to take over the starting role, also will play. … Baron Browning will start at middle linebacker while Tuf Borland continues to recover from a leg injury, although Schiano said Borland may play. Pete Werner and Malik Harrison will be the starting outside linebackers. … Day said that while Dwayne Haskins Jr. is the solid starter at quarterback, backup Tate Martell likely will play against the Beavers. … Former West Virginia quarterback Chris Chugunov has been added to the roster as a graduate transfer.
Urban Meyer to serve 3-game suspension, forgo 6 weeks pay
Gene Smith to be suspended Aug. 31-Sept. 16 without pay
Ohio State University
COLUMBUS, Ohio – After consulting with The Ohio State University Board of Trustees, President Michael V. Drake today (Aug. 22) announced disciplinary actions for Head Football Coach Urban Meyer and Athletics Director Gene Smith based on an investigative report examining the handling of allegations against an assistant coach.
Meyer will be suspended through Sept. 2, 2018, and for the game days of Sept. 1, 8 and 15. This follows his absence from the team's training camp while he was on paid administrative leave beginning Aug. 1. He will forgo six weeks of compensation.
Smith will be suspended without pay from Aug. 31 through Sept. 16.
"The discipline reflects our collective judgment based on the findings of the investigative report and the independent committee. The board fully supports this conclusion," Drake said. "We made this decision today based on the facts and our values as a university. We value the truth, and this independent team thoroughly and faithfully sought the truth. We value consensus, and today's decision represents the collective wisdom of the board and the leadership of our university."
Mary Jo White, senior chair with the national law firm Debevoise & Plimpton and former chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, led the independent investigative team.
The investigators interviewed more than 40 witnesses and reviewed thousands of documents, including police reports, court filings, employment contracts and relevant university and NCAA rules and policies. The full report is here. Findings from the independent review include:
- Meyer has a sincere commitment to the Respect for Women core value that he espouses and tries to instill in his players.
- Although Meyer and Gene Smith failed to adhere to the precise requirements of their contracts, they did so based upon a good faith belief that they did not have sufficient information to trigger a reporting obligation or initiate a disciplinary action against former assistant coach Zach Smith in the absence of law enforcement action.
- Because other witnesses had the same uncertainties about what triggers university reporting obligations, Ohio State will clarify its requirements and implement additional training to reinforce them.
- Meyer made misstatements at the Big Ten Media Days, but those misstatements were not part of a cover-up effort to keep Zach Smith on the coaching staff.
- In light of the investigation's identification of multiple examples of inappropriate conduct by Zach Smith while employed as an assistant football coach, Meyer and Gene Smith went too far in allowing him to remain as an employee in the face of that misconduct.
"I know the impact that the events of the last three weeks have had on this institution – an institution that I love – and how challenging this has been for our community and our president, a man for whom I have great respect. And for that, I am deeply sorry," Meyer said. "I am fully aware that I am ultimately responsible for this situation that has harmed the university as a whole, our Department of Athletics and our football program. I want to also apologize to Buckeye Nation.
"The suspensions are tough, but I fully accept them."
Gene Smith said that prior to the start of his suspension, he will consult with Ryan Day to reaffirm his continued service as acting head coach.
"I fully support the findings of the report and the subsequent actions that the university has taken," Smith said.
"I want to thank our university community and all of Buckeye Nation for their understanding and humbly ask them for their continued support of our student-athletes – particularly our football team as they have prepared for the start of another season and academic year through all of this."
An independent working group formed by trustees to direct the work of the investigative team was led by former Ohio House Speaker Jo Ann Davidson and included former acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Craig Morford, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio Carter Stewart and current university trustees Alex Fischer, Janet Porter and Alex Shumate.
"Our gratitude goes to our board, university leadership, our independent group and the investigators," said Board Chair Michael J. Gasser. "They worked exhaustively, and we are pleased to come to a resolution."
Statement from Urban Meyer
Aug. 24, 2018
My words and demeanor on Wednesday did not show how seriously I take relationship violence. I sincerely apologize. I was taught at a very young age that if I ever hit a woman, I would be kicked out of the house and never welcomed back. I have the same rule in my house and in the Football Program at Ohio State. Over the years, we have worked hard to educate and remind our coaches and players of the seriousness of relationship violence. I understand my lack of more action in this situation has raised concerns about this commitment. I once again apologize for this, and I extend my empathy to all women, men and families who are affected by relationship violence. This has been a real learning experience for me. I fully intend to use my voice more effectively to be a part of the solution.
Let me say here and now what I should have said on Wednesday: I sincerely apologize to Courtney Smith and her children for what they have gone through.
Summary of Investigative Findings and University Actions
Ohio State University
1. The Board of Trustees appointed a Special, Independent Working Group ("Working Group") to oversee an independent investigation of allegations that Coach Urban Meyer failed to act appropriately regarding alleged abuse by Zach Smith of his former wife and related allegations that he misrepresented his knowledge of the alleged events at the Big Ten Media Days.
2. The Working Group included three Trustees of Ohio State: Janet Porter, Alex Fischer and Alex Shumate. The Working Group also included three prominent non-Trustees: JoAnn Davidson, former Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives; Craig Morford, former Acting Deputy U.S. Attorney General, and Carter Stewart, Esq., former United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio. The University thanks each of these six individuals for the many hours they have spent reviewing these issues in the last two weeks.
3. The Trustees retained Mary Jo White, Esq., former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and former Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as her law firm, Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, to conduct a detailed investigation of the allegations (the "Independent Investigatory Counsel"). Ms. White and her firm were selected because of their unquestioned independence and their expertise in prior investigations of this nature. Ms. White and her partner, David Sarratt, led the investigation.
4. In undertaking their review, the Independent Investigatory Counsel interviewed more than 40 witnesses, some multiple times. They reviewed over 60,000 e-mails and 10,000 text messages, in addition to relevant media reports, police reports, court filings, the employment contracts of Coach Meyer and Athletic Director Smith, and relevant OSU rules and policies, NCAA and Big Ten rules, and applicable state and federal laws.
5. Upon completion of the Independent Investigatory Counsel's work, the Working Group received their report, found it to be complete, professional and credible, and formally accepted it.
6. Key findings from the independent review:
A. On the University's overriding concern of assuring that spousal abuse is neither ignored nor condoned, the findings are: Coach Meyer has "a sincere commitment to the Respect for Women core values that he espouses and tries to instill in his players." The Independent Counsel also concluded that Coach Meyer would not hesitate to terminate any coach if spousal abuse was established:
"We believe [Coach Meyer] as did Zach Smith, that if [Coach Meyer] ever came to learn or believe that Zach Smith had physically abused his wife, Coach Meyer would have fired Zach Smith or any other coach on the spot."
B. Although Coach Meyer and Athletic Director Smith failed to adhere to the precise requirements of their contracts when they concluded that they needed to await a law enforcement determination to file charges before they reported the otherwise disputed claims of spousal abuse against Zach Smith, they did so based upon a good faith belief that they did not have sufficient information to trigger a reporting obligation or initiate a disciplinary action in the absence of law enforcement action. Other than their misunderstanding of the requirements triggering reporting obligations, neither Coach Meyer nor Athletic Director Smith violated any policy, rules, law or contractual obligation in connection with the alleged domestic abuse claims against Zach Smith.
C. A number of the other witnesses who were interviewed had the same understanding as that of Coach Meyer and Athletic Director Smith as to the events required to trigger University reporting obligations. The University therefore will undertake steps to make its requirements clearer and implement additional training to reinforce them.
D. Although Coach Meyer made significant misstatements about his knowledge of the 2015 events relating to Zach Smith and his former wife at the Big Ten Media Days, they were not part of a deliberate cover-up effort to keep Zach Smith on the coaching staff in the face of evidence of domestic violence by him that Athletic Director Smith and Coach Meyer credited.
E. The investigation identified multiple other examples of inappropriate conduct by Zach Smith while employed as an assistant football coach, some known by Coach Meyer and/or Gene Smith and others on the football staff. Coach Meyer and Athletic Director Smith's efforts to help Zach Smith overcome his personal issues went too far in allowing him to remain as an employee in the face of repeated misconduct.
7. University actions based upon the independent review:
The President and the members of the Board of Trustees of the University have received the Report of the Independent Investigation and find it to be complete, professionally done and credible. The President has consulted with the Board of Trustees and based upon these independent findings, the University accepts the findings of the report and, based on them, takes the following action:
Although neither Urban Meyer nor Gene Smith condoned or covered up the alleged domestic abuse by Zach Smith, they failed to take sufficient management action relating to Zach Smith's misconduct and retained an Assistant Coach who was not performing as an appropriate role model for OSU student-athletes. Permitting such misconduct to continue is not consistent with the values of the University and reflects poorly on Coach Meyer, Athletic Director Smith, and the University. Their handling of this matter did not exhibit the kind of leadership and high standards that we expect of our Athletic Director, Head Coach, Assistant Coaches and all on the football staff. Urban Meyer is suspended through September 2, 2018, and for the games on September 1, 8 and 15 without pay. Gene Smith is suspended without pay from August 31-September 16.

Recorded November 14, 1912
In the 1890s, Eldridge Reeves Johnson owned a small machine shop in Camden, New Jersey, when a customer brought in a Berliner phonograph. Unlike Edison talking machines, Berliner Gramophone Company used disc records instead of cylinders. The sound quality was bad and Johnson spent the next 6 years improving the sound and volume capacity. In 1901 Johnson's Consolidated Talking Machine Company merged with Berliner's Berliner Gramophone Company to form the Victor Talking Machine Company.
Barraud took his painting to Edison-Bell and offered to sell it. He was turned down after being told by an Edison executive that "Dogs don't listen to phonographs." He next approached the Gramophone Company and showed a photograph of his painting. The manager asked if he could introduce a machine of their own make, a Gramophone instead of the Edison cylinder pictured. Barraud replied he could make the alteration if they would let me have an instrument to paint from. Given a Gramophone Barraud painted out the cylinder machine, and then painted in a Berliner "Improved Gramophone" machine on top adding a brass horn to replace the dark horn. The new image was called "His Master's Voice."
Victor recording studios used Victor staff conductor Walter B Rogers directing Victor's own "house" orchestras, the Victor Orchestra for popular works and the Victor Concert Orchestra for "classical" music starting in 1907.
On November 14, 1912 the Victor Concert Orchestra was in the Victor Recording studios in Camden, New Jersey to record "Oh! Oh! Delphine" by Ivan Carryl

QUINTON Odeon has changed hands for the second time in a matter of weeks as the screen industry undergoes a major shake-up.
The 1930s cinema, in Hagley Road West, will soon be rebranded a Reel Cinema after being acquired by the Loughborough-based chain.
The company, which owns the Reel and Curzon cinema brands, has been rapidly expanding into traditional community cinemas as the bigger companies move to out-of-town multiplexes.
Owner Kailesh Suri said the Odeon's future as a cinema was now secure.
He said: "We have already dropped the admission fee. We are offering better value for money and a good selection of films.
"It is already performing better, more people are coming in."
He added that the building has a sound structure and does not require great investment, beyond the alterations needed for the new Reel brand.
The art-deco Quinton Odeon first opened as the Danilo in 1939 and has changed owner-ship and name several times over
the last 65 years. In December it was snapped up by Ireland's biggest cinema operator Ward Anderson in a £57 million package of 11 UK movie theatres.
They were sold by the Odeon chain's owner Terra Firma under competition regulations, because it already owned the nearby Dudley UCI and would have had a monopoly in the area.
At the same time rival chains UGC and Cineworld were merged leading to a similar potential monopoly and the sale of six of the combined group's cinemas, including Great Park, at Rubery.
Ward Anderson again stepped in and snapped up the batch of six - finding itself in a new local monopoly situation with Great Park and Quinton.
So the same regulations pushed Ward Anderson to sell Quinton to the Reel/Curzon chain within weeks of the purchase.

I Saved $2004.00May 4th, 2008 at 04:30 pm
I saved $2004.00 by switching to progressive insurance. I made the switch on their first day here in Massachusetts and when the rep read my quote, i could not believe it.
I'm going to be paying $588 for every 6 months of policy which is about $1176.00 a year.
I was with commerce insurance paying $265.00/month for a 12 months which was $3180.00, what a rip off was this state regulation. Let the market self regulate........

Top 20 for Durbridge as ORICA-GreenEDGE continue to fine tune at Strade BiancheSat 7 Mar 2015
West Australian Luke Durbridge was ORICA-GreenEDGE's top finisher in 17th position at the team's first appearance at Strade Bianche today.
In a race famous for its gravel sectors, affectionately known as the 'white roads', nasty winds added to the already challenging array of elements across the 200km course.
As promised, it was a battle of survival. Eventually Zdenek Stybar (Etixx-Quick Step) prevailed.
"Realistically we knew we were coming here as the first race of the European season for a lot of the guys and we really wanted them to have a hard hit out before Tirreno and Paris-Nice," sport director Neil Stephens said.
"I said to the guys, the best way to have a hard hit out is to be there into the final and try to do something in the final.
"I was hoping to have one rider left in the peloton in the final, we had two. I think we can be satisfied with the day."
After an early breakaway of eight riders, the race was back together with 50km to go, and in a sense just about to begin.
As the riders reached the longest sector of gravel Stybar, Peter Sagan (Tinkoff – Saxo) and Alejandro Valverde (Movistar Team) initiated a threatening move that proved crucial in shaping the race.
In a performance above his years, ORICA-GreenEDGE neo-pro Magnus Cort made the initial split in the select group but was unable to hold on.
Despite a spirited attempt by Cort and Mat Hayman at the head of the peloton, the outfit had little support in bringing the race back together as the attacks continued out front.
"He certainly gave it everything he could," Stephens said of Cort.
"Whenever you try to get in a move like that, it helps the teammates behind you and once he got shelled from that group, he wasn't content with just sitting in the bunch, he got on the front and rode with Mat Hayman."
Back from injury in his first race for the season, 2014 Liege-Bastogne-Liege champion Simon Gerrans withdrew from the race shortly after a minor crash at 120km.
At time of publish, the 34-year-old was undergoing precautionary x-rays. Further update will be provided when information is available.

In this task, participants responded by button press to target ("go") stimuli that were emotionally valent (e.g., sad) while inhibiting their response to distractor ("no-go") stimuli of a different valence (e.g., happy).The cingulate, inferior frontal gyrus, and insula cortex are most frequently activated during the inhibition of emotional distractors in the AGNG task (17–25).Men are more liable to persistent depression whereas women tend to suffer from a more episodic disorder (8).
This study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (f MRI) to explore cognitive control among emotional distractions during a widely used affective go/no-go (AGNG) task.
In response to sad relative to neutral distractors, significant sex differences (in the supramarginal gyrus) and group-by-sex interactions (in the supramarginal gyrus and the posterior cingulate cortex) were found.
Furthermore, in contrast to the healthy male adolescents, depressed male adolescents showed decreased activation in the cerebellum with a significant group-by-age interaction in connectivity.
Consequently, research into MDD occurring at this early stage of adolescence avoids these complicating social factors.
Despite strong evidence suggesting poor outcomes, male MDD is underrepresented in the extant literature.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first f MRI study specifically addressing aberrancy in brain activation in males with MDD, and sex differences in cognitive control in adolescents with MDD.

YES, your car is on, and NO, you aren't the first person to ask us this question. Unlike the loud gas-powered engines that can be heard from blocks away, hybrid and electric cars have a much more stealth-like approach. AutoAid customers tell us their cars are so quiet they forget to turn them off! They only realize it when trying to lock the doors.

So you just got in a wreck and your engine is beat up. You love your car with all the nostalgia and memories that come with it and you don't want to give it up. However, your car insurance provider has deemed your car totaled and won't let you get back on the road until you get a salvaged or rebuilt title. If you wish to keep your car, you will first need a professional like AutoAid to get the job done correctly to make sure your insurance company will accept the salvaged or rebuilt title. It's important to know what these titles mean to you in order to make the best decisions moving forward. There's a clear difference between a salvage and rebuilt title. A salvage title means the vehicle was totaled. A rebuilt title means that the car has been rebuilt from a totaled state. If a car is damaged to the point ... read more
If you've visited a car dealership recently, you've probably been blown away by the comforts and conveniences that many offer - some nicer than a luxury home! With putt-putt courses, computer lounges, bakeries, fancy drinks, and courtesy rental car programs, these large dealerships look like they're taking great care of their customers. In the end, however, you might end up footing the bill later for a lot of things you don't want or need.

Remember the days when a few guys in a truck would drive around a parking lot asking if you wanted to buy some stereo equipment? Dealing with auto body repair scammers is very similar. You might park your car, all set to run into a store to do a few errands, when a guy notices that your car has some damage. He offers to repair it right then and there, telling you it will be a perfect job and save you a lot of time and money. All you have to do is pay him "X" amount of cash. Politely but adamantly tell him "no thanks," then walk away. This is a classic scam. These "dent repair" scammers—or "dent gypsies," as they are sometimes called—prey on people who are in a rush and not as informed as they should be. These scammers will either take your money and disappear the moment you are out of sight, or they will do a horrible job and make your car look and even run worse than before.

So now you have to ask yourself: should I file an insurance claim when I've damaged my own car? If you have caused no other property damage and the only damage is to your own car, you will now need to decide whether you should pay for the repairs out of your own pocket or go through your insurance, which could, of course, raise your rates. While this is frustrating, at least you are the sole decision maker. Dealing with another party, if another vehicle is involved, can be much trickier. In that situation, you may not have a choice about whether you should go through insurance or pay for the repairs yourself. Should I File An Insurance Claim When I've Damaged My Own Car? In order to completely answer this question, you need to be informed about the condition of your car. This means going to a reliable and trustworthy auto body sh ... read more

An airplane crash is a nightmare scenario. Although airplane crashes are extremely rare, many Americans live in fear of a disaster in the skies.
Survivors of an airplane crash and families of crash victims are often able to bring a lawsuit against the company responsible for the crash. Depending on the circumstances of the crash, different companies could face liability for injuries or fatalities.
The most common causes of airplane crashes are:
- Pilot error
- Mistakes by a federal air traffic controller
- Defectively designed or manufactured aircraft
- Defective equipment, such as cockpit instruments or pressurization systems
- Faulty repair or maintenance
- Fuel problems
In a high-profile event like an airplane crash, government agencies are called in to investigate. The National Transportation Safety Board, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Aviation Administration, and independent investigators can all be involved in determining the exact cause of a crash.
Pilot error would be an example of negligence, which is the cornerstone of personal injury litigation. The pilot would be considered negligent if he or she acted in a way that, given the same circumstances, a reasonable pilot would not have. This can include making a reckless decision, failing to pay attention, or failing to do something when he or she should have.
Traffic controller error requires the plaintiff(s) to sue under the Federal Tort Claims Act. As employees of the Federal Aviation Agency, traffic controllers are federal agents, and claims against the federal government have a different set of rules and procedures.
Product liability can play a role if the aircraft, equipment, or structure of the plane is defective in any way. If the plane was defectively manufactured and the defect was the cause of the crash, the manufacturer or a related party could shoulder the liability for the passengers' injuries or death. In these cases, the plaintiff(s) would not have to prove the manufacturer was negligent; rather, they would only have to prove that the defect caused the crash.
For example, say a Boeing 747 was mistakenly fitted with a fuel tank designed for a much smaller aircraft. American Airlines purchases the Boeing 747 and schedules it for a New York-Beijing flight, which takes approximately 14 hours' worth of fuel. Despite fueling the plane properly and flying it correctly, the plane runs out of fuel before reaching its destination and crashes, fatally injuring many passengers. American Airlines would not be responsible for the crash; rather, as an investigation should show, Boeing is at fault for manufacturing the aircraft incorrectly.
After a major airline disaster, the U.S. government provides certain support to survivors and families of victims. The Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act, passed in 1996, established a number of responsibilities for airlines, as well as rules and procedures in the event of an airplane crash. The Act mandates that certain services are provided to survivors and victim's families, including counseling services, victim identification and forensic services, daily briefings for family members, a memorial service, and a grieving place for families. The airline is required to inform all families before the victims are made public, establish a toll-free telephone line for victims' families, and assist the families in traveling to the accident site and staying to mourn.

A minor disaster – last night I was unable to post up my blog entry as Blogger was down. So I left it overnight and tried again this morning only to find it was still down. In over two years of blogging here, this is the first time the site has gone down on me. I can't really complain.
Work was the same as ever, and then home. Yesterday I put the roof bars on the car. Today with the help of "Daddies Little Angel TM " I got the top box on. It's not so much heavy as awkward to manoeuvre about. After a bit of wrestling we got the box in place. I tried to persuade the most recent fruit of my loin that the thing just sat on the roof bars, and was fine provided I didn't accelerate too fast, but she wasn't that daft. And so with her deciding if the box was straight, I got the bolts in place and secured it to the roof bars.
Mind you, the box looks rather grubby, and has been rather marked during storage when it got splashed whilst I was painting the fence, and it has been seriously discoloured where a local cat has been sick on it. The more I look at it, the more I think I'd like a bigger box. But I only actually use the box four times a year. A bigger box would be a serious expense for something I use so infrequently. And for the same price I could replace my limping computer.
Whilst I was attaching the top box to the roof bars, next door (the nice ones) came out to show us their puppies. I didn't realise they'd had pups: the puppies are really sweet. We played with the small dogs for a little while.
After a smashing bit of tea we left 'er indoors TM to her own devices whilst some of us went to play cards. Tonight was interesting. As well as "big blind" and "little blind" and "cardboard box", tonight we had the "spaz" card which was moved around to the player who seemed to most deserve it at the time. After going round the table several times it ended up with me for mistaking jacks for kings, but still winning the hand anyway.
We played an hour of
Omaha hold 'em and then an hour (or so) of hold 'em. I think the consensus is that we prefer Texas . I wonder what other variations of poker we might try… Omaha
