Arrest made in deadly home invasion
ELYRIA — Two men are dead, one is in critical condition and another is in police custody after two roommates fought back against two armed intruders at a David Drive apartment Sunday night.
(NOTE: Some rough language and disturbing, graphic audio of violence is on the 911 tape above, listener discretion is advised.)
David McDonough, 31, told 911 dispatchers two men carrying guns broke into his 115 David Drive apartment around 10 p.m. McDonough fought with the men and tried to grab the guns from them, but was shot in the stomach during the struggle, according to the 911 call.
McDonough's roommate, Michael Stump, 30, was shot in the head sometime during the fight, the 911 tape states. He died yesterday afternoon at Cleveland MetroHealth Medical Center, while McDonough remains in critical condition this morning, according to a nursing supervisor.
One of the two intruders, Herminio Serrano, 38, was found dead inside the apartment after McDonough shot him during the struggle. Serrano was shot multiple times, but died from a gunshot wound to the shoulder, Elyria police Lt. Andy Eichenlaub said.
Lorain County Coroner Dr. Paul Matus ruled Serrano's death a homicide last night.
The second assailant was seen running from the apartment after the struggle and fled the area in a dark green conversion van. Around 10 p.m. on Monday, police arrested Brady Phillips, 38, near his home on 2nd Street in Elyria. Phillips, who was arraigned in Elyria Municipal Court today, is being charged with murder, aggravated robbery and felonious assault.
Eichenlaub said Serrano and Phillips entered the apartment intending to commit an armed robbery. McDonough told 911 dispatchers he had never before seen the men who burst into the apartment, the 911 tape states.
"We're looking into the circumstances of who was there and what happened," Lt. Andy Eichenlaub said. "We have collected evidence at the scene and are in the process of interviewing witnesses."
Two handguns, bullets and other forensic evidence were taken from the scene. The forensic evidence includes fingerprints and other DNA samples, Eichenlaub said. Continued...
A woman who lived in the apartment complex, but did not want to give her name, said she rarely talked to McDonough and Stump, but when she did strike up conversations with them, they were always friendly and polite.
"I know they had some bad dealings with the law in the past, but I don't think you should judge a book by its cover," the resident said. "They were always very friendly with me. They both laughed a lot, always joking about something."
Although she has never felt threatened in her apartment complex before now, the resident said she will make sure her doors are locked tight before going to bed. It's hard for her to imagine anyone breaking into her apartment with guns, but she said she doesn't want to take the chance.
"It's a scary thing when you think about it," she said. "I have always felt safe here. Now, I'm not sure how I feel, but I'm going to think twice from now on about leaving windows open when it's hot or leaving my doors unlocked."
According to the New Jersey Department of Corrections' Web site, Serrano spent time in a New Jersey prison for burglary, theft and distribution of drugs on school property charges. He was paroled in 2006, and moved to Lorain.
Phillips has also spent time in prison for drug trafficking, breaking and entering and theft, according to Lorain County Common Pleas Court records.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact the Elyria Police Department Detective Bureau at (440) 322-1926 or the Elyria Police Department dispatchers at (440) 323-3302.

Senior citizens get peek into McKinney ISD's multicultural, career-prep landscape
Chris Beattie/Staff photo - Caldwell Elementary students show off their computer programs to MISD Senior Tour participants, who shared with the students about how education has changed since they were in school.
By Chris Beattie, firstname.lastname@example.com, @CB_StarNews on Twitter
It was fitting the third annual MISD Senior Tour was held at Caldwell Elementary School, perhaps McKinney's most evolved campus.
Just like for tour participants - those in their 50s and older - a lot has changed.
"It's been a long time since they were in a classroom," McKinney ISD Superintendent J.D. Kennedy said. "It's a great opportunity for them to see what's happening in our schools, at every level."
About 70 tour guests - the max allowed at the yearly event - filed first into Caldwell's library, and were greeted by a Spanish-heavy choir performance. Second-graders serenaded a surprised crowd with song and poetry, switching between languages.
Their older schoolmates then led a stationed tour around campus, showing off their English-Spanish dichotomy, cultural understanding and the technology that helps them learn it all. Participants' smiles shined brighter than the smart boards and iPads they glanced upon, young children their sudden teachers.
"For me, it's seeing the changes that have taken place in the way education is today as opposed to just a few years ago," said George Bradford, a McKinney resident on his second straight Senior Tour. "One of the biggest things I've seen is the different cultures, the blending. When I was in school, there wasn't any."
McKinney ISD Partners in Education helped organize the tour three years ago after Kennedy brought the idea from another school district for which he previously worked. Kennedy, MISD board members and central office staff joined their fellow citizens in touring the campuses they serve.
"It's all been positive," Kennedy said of Senior Tour feedback. "Not only from the senior citizens but also from the students who get a chance to talk to them about what they do. They're just as excited."
The tour stopped next at McKinney North High School, where guides gave senior participants the rundown of classes available to help students get certified in technical trades by graduation. At Scott Johnson Middle School, the final stop, they learned about Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) and other programs that spur students toward college from an early age.
New technology and a greatly expanded educational landscape were obvious to tour participants, some of whom remembered one-room schoolhouses. For others, classroom changes were simpler than that.
"We weren't allowed to talk, at all," said Nannetta Ellis, on her first Senior Tour. "And if we did, Mom would know about it by the time we got home."
Participants, who receive Senior Tour t-shirts and goodie bags before their first stop, reside all over Collin County, said Nancy Cowlishaw, Partners in Education director. Other local school districts don't offer such a tour tailored to showing off the latest at each level, so they come each February to McKinney's.
For all of them, no matter where they live, MISD represents a newness similar to that around Texas and the country. Education is constantly changing.
And going back to school for a day seems worth it.
"Some people are already trying to sign up for next year, so we had to start a waiting list," Cowlishaw said. "The interest and buzz of how much fun it is, is definitely out in the community."
For more MISD Senior Tour information, contact the Partners in Education office at 469-302-4108.

I have wanted to paint words on the front of a dresser for a while now. I just haven't had the right dresser or come across a graphic telling me to paint it, until this nautical one I found via Pinterest.
Right about the time I pinned this graphic, my cousin called wanting to give me a dresser. Yay! To be fair, I'll be painting just about anything she wants for her new baby's room. It's a win,win for both of us.
Here's how it was when I got it, needing just a tad bit of work.
Good thing that this kinda of work is what the husband loves to do.
Here it is again after he did his thing and I gave it a quick coat of paint.
Next came the exciting part, painting the words on the front!
I don't like the furniture I re-do to look perfect, so I always ruff it up a bit, and glaze the letters so they look a bit dirty. We added these cute little glass knobs after sealing it. I really loved how this turned out.
I knew it would take just the right buyer since we live near a lake and not the ocean, but I didn't care. I really wanted to paint this graphic.
Like always the Lord took care of our needs and sent someone who loved enough to take it home.
Thank you so much for stopping by for a
visit! I love receiving your comments. It lets me know that you were here that way I
can visit you back!
don't miss a single post – it's easy to stay in touch!

If I lived near you, I definitely would have taken this baby home! Love the colour and the glass knobs and the nautical graphic. You and your hubby did a great job of bringing that banged up dresser back to life :-)
{Thanks for featuring my Kelly Wearstler-inspired craft room walls - I've added a link back to you :-) }golly, I wish you lived here!! I have an older, kinda ugly, yellow dresser in what we call the Bunk Bed Room aka the guest room with bunk beds that I would LOVE to have painted just like this! You might just have to book a flight out and spend a week, it WOULD be tax deductible and I am sure we would sneek in some beach time! LOVE this!!!

In addition to being a deli, N&D is also the secret home of Mama O's, an award-winning brand of the spicy fermented Korean pickles called kimchi.
"I make a regular Napa cabbage kimchi. I make a baby bok choy kimchi, which I think I invented because I don't see anybody else making it," says Kheedim Oh of Mama O's Kimchi. "I make a daikon radish kimchi, and I make a Kosher kimchi, which is totally vegan and doesn't have any fish or shellfish in it."
Oh used to make 300 pounds a week in New Jersey, dragging the jars back on the train. He was looking for affordable space in the city, when his parents told him about a bodega for sale at the corner of Onderdonk and Gates.
"They were like, 'why don't you buy this deli and use the room in the back to make kimchi?' and I was like, 'that could be a good idea,'" Oh says.
The bodega meant instant income that would cover Oh's rent. But running it was harder work than he envisioned. In addition to making kimchi, Oh had to learn how to sell beer, cigarettes, lottery tickets, tuna sandwiches and candy bars.
Even worse, he still often works till dawn as a deejay and a musician.
"The place opens at 6:30 and closes at 10 o'clock, so that's 15.5 hours a day," he says.
But there are some benefits beyond a free kitchen for his kimchi.
"What's really cool about the neighborhood I'm in now is that it's really diverse," says Oh. "It's primarily Mexicans, Ecuadorians and Polish people, but then you also have Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and I got a few customers that have lived here their whole lives."Oh hopes they'll all start eating Korean kimchi, which is now on N&D's sandwich menu. "You can get anything you want with kimchi. My personal favorite is a hot dog with kimchi on top," he says.

I'm in Rovaniemi for one day tomorrow and wanted to visit Arktikum in the morning and then travel to Ranua Zoo at about 1300. Based on the Ranua website, this should have been possible, however, as tomorrow is Ascension day, the usual 1320 bus isn't running so I would have to catch the 845 bus and come back at 1017 (which only gives me half an hour at the zoo) or at 1720 (in which case Arktikum will be closed). I've had a look at car rentals but these are expensive. Is there any other way to get there by public transport? Or is someone heading that way around 1300 so that I can catch a ride there? Any suggestions/advice appreciated here or to firstname.lastname@example.com.

I don't want to live - I want to love first, and live incidentally.
Hey, my names Lexy ! Straight edge// Vegan// Horror hound// Dramatic arts student// Music lover.
IN LOVE! 16. Drug Free. Smoke Free. Animal Lover :3 Music and art are my best friends. I barely think before I speak, which, most of the time, gets me in a lot of trouble :c
https://twitter.com/hvanevery https://www.facebook.com/hlly.ve
My whole life has revolved around my love for animals. I became vegetarian when I was 7 years old. I hope to change the world someday.
I can't fit my life story in 140 characters or less, so I'll just share a bit. Vegetarian since October 1st, 2010. 20 years old. I've been in a relationship for four years. Sierratms.tumblr.com
I'm just fighting for animals in South America
i have been vegetarian as long as I've been making my own decisions, and i have my role model Christofer Drew to thank for me even going thru with it.
Once upon a story there was a little girl that always enjoyed playing around seeing animals but also loved them in her plate... Came the day she found about this this magical word ''vegetarian'' where she starting using it and living it, and using it as a weapon to kill the massive zombie attack, but that wasn't the biggest weapon of them all, she needed to go vegan, she discussed things with Brock-Lee and he gave the power and important nutrition to go on in her journey. Then came zombies trying to attack her the took out the amazing Veganomicon! And all the zombies turned into her and joined her in the Vegan Revolution!
Are we all failures in disguise for the dream we brought to life from behind our name in lights, our shadow's cast but will they last?

Curt's Comments: Sandhills cattle are renowned around the world as some of the highest quality, healthiest cattle. The grass conditions in the Sandhills are perfect for raising cattle, and this shouldn't be lost on consumers looking for a perfect cut of tasty beef. That's why keeping the Valentine Livestock Auction open was so important to local ranchers and the community of Valentine, literally located in the "heart" of the Sandhills cattle…Continue Reading
I know. I know. Corn and soybeans are the way of the future. You don't want to read about anything else. But, this time of year, I have to mention one of my favorite crops – oats. Yes, you read it correctly. Decades ago where I live, if corn was King, oats came in a close second. Sure, it doesn't have the traditional significance of wheat. Never considered a major crop, it has wallowed in the large shadows of staple row crops. But, long before soybeans were grown in…Continue Reading
Last summer, my wife and I were forced to sell off most of our cowherd. Granted, our herd wasn't anything special. It wasn't very large by most Sandhills ranch standards. However, we had spent much of our married lives working to improve our genetics, disposition standards and health of the cows and their potential offspring. It was a labor of love, and many of those cows were very important to us personally, and financially. Because of my attachment to the herd, and because…Continue Reading
I attended a weed resistance workshop in Norfolk last week, moderated by University of Nebraska Extension integrated weed management specialist, Stevan Knezevic. During the course of the meeting, UNL researchers painted the true picture of weed resistance issues that are going to plague farmers down the road, and they discussed ways to mitigate the speed with which these problems will occur, as well as strategies for beating up on the toughest of the resistant weeds. Everyone in the room…Continue Reading
Farmers and ranchers spend millions of dollars each year trying to get rid of those pesky weeds. In the old days, farmers plowed, burned, chopped and dug out every weed they could from their fields and pastures. I personally have spent thousands of hours in the seat of a tractor pulling a cultivator, or walking miles upon miles of soybean rows, carrying a corn knife to chop velvet leaf by hand. Farmers have been known to chop a cocklebur plant from a corn field, take it to the field edge and…Continue Reading
I sat in on an estate planning session by University of Nebraska Extension educator, Tim Lemmons, at the Crop Production Clinic in Norfolk recently, and learned a few things from Lemmons' talk. I think many farmers would do well to heed Tim's advice when it comes to planning the transfer of their assets, in the event that they pass away. How many families go to war with each other because of farm land and assets? These heartbreaking battles can fracture families, ruin…Continue Reading
Drought continues to worry most producers in the Western Corn Belt. While the folks to the east of us have received some welcome fall precipitation, our rain gauge has been idle, except for a few light showers. That concerns almost everyone in our area. Yet, planning for profit in the midst of these challenges could set producers up for a very happy 2013. There are a few indicators that give us reason for some optimism. If you look at fuel prices trending significantly lower these days…Continue Reading
Two years ago this fall, when I was visiting Kreycik Elk and Buffalo Ranch, conducting an interview for Nebraska Farmer on agritourism and how to secure insurance for such ventures, it was one of the most beautiful days I've seen in Nebraska. Their ranch is truly one of the great spots in the state. For those of you who have never visited Kreycik's ranch, it is situated west and south of Niobrara, adjacent to the Niobrara River. In the mid-1980s, Kenard Kreycik and his wife…Continue Reading

Weather hasn't dampened the spirits of the crowds, nor has it squelched the quest producers are on to find new ways to meet and beat the drought. Even Governor Dave Heineman stopped by the…Continue Reading

What happened?
Richard (left) waiting for Jan to join him on the teeter totter they set up over the sawbuck.
Experts don't agree on the precise reasons that the economy collapsed. Some blame a weak banking system and widespread speculation in the stock market.
During the 20's, the gap widened between rich and poor: Ordinary people like farmers and industrial workers had not shared in the prosperity. The government took a "hands-off" approach, and allowed businesses to do almost anything they wished.
Most economists, however, point to "Black Tuesday," Oct. 29, 1929, as the beginning of the Great Depression.
On that day, prices of stock peaked, then plummeted. People panicked. The market tumbled into a downward spiral, and so many shares were sold that the stock market collapsed.
In general, credit unions fared better than banks during the Great Depression.
Could it happen again?
According to Steve Rick, an economist with the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) says, "The probability of a 30's-style depression is small."
That's because of steps taken in the 30's, including unemployment insurance, deposit insurance, and Social Security, to help counteract the impact of the cycles the economy goes through.
However, Rick points out that the Great Depression was a period marked by deflation, or falling prices. This meant lower revenues and profits for businesses, making it harder for their owners to repay loans, and forcing many of them out of business and into bankruptcy.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 13
Rated 2 out of 5 by Lovemy2boys Allergic Reaction
Get a sample before purchasing. My skin is very sensitive. I break out often with acne and rashes. Eventually, I found an aesthetician who only uses natural products to prevent more breakouts. They worked, but they dried my skin out. Finally, I decided to try Lancome skincare, because I had been wearing its makeup products since I was a teenager (on the rare occasions when I wear makeup that is). This left my overly dry skin feeling very soft after only one use, which is why it gets more than one star. My face became very warm and red right after using this. The next morning, my skin was covered in a rash. Despite itchy, rash laden skin, it still felt soft. It is obvious I am allergic. I can imagine it would work well for those not allergic.
Rated 5 out of 5 Love this product!
I use this product twice a week right before I put on the hydrating mask. It makes my skin feel so clean and fresh. The next morning my skin is so soft!
Rated 5 out of 5 by EH75 amazing
This is truly an amazing product. I have combination skin with terrible dry spots near my chin. Until now I hadnt been able to find a good exfoliating product. I was either walking around with flakes on face or redness and irritation from rough products. I've used it twice, so far and both times it left my face soft, smooth, and did not irritate at all!! I use a prescription retinoid at night so this helps with those terrible flakes i get!
Rated 5 out of 5 by lmzschmitz Love it!
I tried this product after reading the other reviews. I really like the fine grit that is not too harsh. It smoothes my skin beautifully. I have combination skin and the moisturizers seem to balance my oiliness while they soften and further smooth the dry spots. I have recommended this to my coworkers and friends. It is also a great value compared to some other products I have tried.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Diana perfect exfoliator
This exfoliator is perfect for dry and sensitive skin. It exfoliates and polishes so gently. The little microbeads are very gentle, yet very effective. The texture is wonderful and a little bit goes a long way. I keep it in my shower and use it two or three mornings per week and my skin is left feeling clean,smooth, soft and radiant. I love it!

And, coming this Summer:
Hi everyone! So I've been working on several projects, but I thought it would be nice to make my own version of the MOTU bios using some design ideas after making Power Level stat templates for Sky_Breaker. I'll be adding to these periodically, particularly adding more as Book of Evil continues. Obviously these are taken from MOTUC, but I've combined more of 200X and tied them into the continuity that Iceman and I are using (which is mostly 200X/MYP/MVC, but retains Filmation and MOTUC influences).
A few more...

I have loved your art for years. The most amazing thing is how it keeps getting better and better. You keep MOTU alive, IMO. Thanks so much and keep it up!

As a long time Kansas basketball fan (all my family is from there) I can appreciate this post.

It has been much more fun to be a Michigan basketball fan - the expectations are lower and every game does not have the chance to ruin my day. This Michigan team is also more fun to watch than almost any Kansas team I can remember the 1997 team notwithstanding). I know come tournament time, I will be enjoying each Michigan game and tolerating each Kansas game. Paul Endacott is my homie... |

18 weeks 1 day ago | Brian in DC summary |
MGoBlog in DC In December, Brian was nice enough to come to DC and do a question an event for the Washington, DCMichiganalumni group. There was a great turnout for the event. Some of this is really out of date (recruiting, New Years bowls, Lewan leaving), but some of it is still relevant. The Blog In the off season, he is going to overhaul the blog and switch it to a magazine style layout so stories do not get lost as easily. Will also have "drill-down pages" for some of the smaller sports, softball, lacrosse, so that those sports don't get lost on the board. Will eventually add a subscription model, the site will remain free, but subscription could offer no ads, a copy of Hail to the Victors, a tee shirt and discounts at Moe's. Is going to do a basketball podcast in the winter, but probably not much more with the podcast. For a recruiting podcast, listen to him with Sam Webb. When asked how much time do you spend on UFR - he just said a lot. Football Said 8-4 was fine, about what people expected, keeps the momentum going on for the program. Pointed out that everyone has been worried about Denard getting hurt for 3 years and when it did, Gardnerwas able to step in. Gardnerwas much better than the coaches thought he would be - and everyone else I guess. Brian had a great line about Denard, said he will not be the best Michiganplayer of all time, but he will be a lot of people's favorite Michiganplayer. Next year, the defense, assuming they can replace his binky, Jordan Kovacs, will be in great shape. Was impressed Quinton Washington, thinks Pipkins will back him up, although he will play a lot of downs. Thoughts Pipkins was bad this year because he lacked technique, and pointed out he got pancaked by a running back, but Brian thinks he will be really good as an upperclassman, said his faith is in part from the Heininger Certainty Principle - Heininger went from a liability to a strength on the team because of the coaching and the technique he learned. Brian believes that will be there as long as the defensive coaches are there. Brian thinks that linebacker will be a strength with three quality players in the mix. Likes Ross a lot once he bulks up. The offense line will be the question mark next year having to start 3 freshman. But was pleasantly surprised by the development of Michael Schofield who should not be a disaster in place of Lewan. Said it says a lot about the end of Carr recruiting and Rodriguez recruiting. Thinks once all of Hoke's recruits are in place, team will be in a position to compete for national titles. The difference going forward is attrition will be for guys not getting playing time not simply leaving the team because they didn't get along with the coaches or coaching changes. Looking forward to freshman TE Jake Butt and RB DeVeon Smith (and Green if he commits). Things the pro style offense could look like Stamfordor New England. In the New Englandversion, Jake Butt and Devin Funchess play the roles of Gronk and Hernandez. Doesn't think WR will be that great. Didn't know about the redshirt for Gardner, but thought the staff should try and redshirt Morris next year, but burn it before putting Bellomy back out there, unless up 50 points, then put in Kennedy. Thinks there will be a ten year war with Ohio- and guessed that Michiganwould go 4-6 (including this year). I asked if that meant Urban was the better coach and he said Ohiohas natural recruiting advantages and we would see. Said we need to give the coaches (read Borges) two to three years to get their own players, switch to a pro-style offense before can accurately judge them. The worst criticisms about Borges that we have are probably not valid yet. Pointed out the most legitimate criticism was how badly the missed on Belomy and Gardner. They see both guys in practice and thought that Belomy was a legitimate option and Gardnerwas not. Noted that kicking game (save for kickers) was really bad and that the coverage was not good. Not sure why the staff has not adapted. Also questioned why they are huddling so long, thinks you lose something by taking that long, getting set and allowing the defense to sub in. Despite the above, the staff are really highly thought of, tight-knit group. His sources said the staff was night and day compared to the coaches under Rodriguez. Really professional group of guys, great teachers. Said the real battle will be when Mattison retires (he thought it might happen after a big ten title or Rose Bowl win), who will take the DC position. Said it probably comes down to Curt Mallory, the DB coach and Jerry Montgomery, the DL coach. Whoever is elevated, if they do a good job, would be the internal candidate to take over for Hoke in 10-12 years. Said after Bielema left is even happier about Hoke. Bielema led to a discussion about paying coaches, Brian said it came down to priorities, Arkansas and Wisconsin have almost the same athletic department budget, but Arkansas willing to pay more, especially for assistant coaches. Wisconsin has the money chose not to. Reflection on the SEC/Big Ten - Mississippi State has 8 teams, Ohio State has 40+ including a rifle club. He also mocked the crew team having an indoor rowing facility, thought they should be outside. Oh, Brian thinks the big ten will go winless in the bowl season. Recruiting Doesn't look good for Treadwell, but may be in good shape on Green, just because every other school fired their coach and Miamiis Miami. Thinks they might be in good shape with Conley and Dawson. If Conley commits, he might end up at WR, especially if Mike McCray's teammate, Reon Dawson, signs with Michigan. He hopes that the staff will pursue Eldridge Massington, who recently decommitted from USC. The staff wants to add a linebacker because one of the young linebackers might be leaving the program for medical reasons. Basketball Brian loves Stauskas - even more than appears on the blog. He is also delighted that the NBA does not focus on a player with his skill set so he will be a "foundational" player for the next couple of years. Impressed with how much Hardaway changed his game during the off season. Pointed out that people have really stepped up after Douglass and Novak (the aneurysm of leadership) left. Specifically mentioned McGary as a leader of the freshman, didn't complain that he wasn't starting, went to the older players and asked what he should do. Compared McGary to a puppy. Brian is very excited about this team - final four caliber - but also the direction of the program. Sees the strength of the team on offense, hard to double team guys when there are so many offensive weapons. Thinks the weakness is on defense, young team, not great shot-blockers, slow on rotations. Going to lose Big Ten games, like to Indianabecause of defensive liabilities. Brian is very impressed with Beilein, including his ability to change up his style, moving from a 1-3-1to man, adapting to the team's strengths, like more alley-oops this year. Says Beilein reminds him of a chemistry teacher - compared him to Walter White on the first episode of Breaking Bad without the meth or cancer. Also very high on the assistants, including Bacari Alexander and LaVall Jordan. Thinks that they could be head coaching material, but will probably stay to see how this group of players develop. Odds and Ends Brian was depressed and didn't want to talk about hockey, said real chance they will miss the NCAAs. Not sure why, the team has talent. Did say the goal keepers we not to blame as much you might think. Was asked a question about Red if he was going to be pushed out, said that Red was the Hockey Bo, could stay as long as he wanted, but would step away if it came to that. Brian is not a fan of expansion, and did a straw poll with 80% of the audience against it. His ideal expansion plan would be to go to 20 and have everyone that joined in 1990 or later be in the other division and he could forget about them. He also doesn't think the big ten people really have a clue, both for the future of television and how the conference should be aligned. Brian thought the future was a la carte with only the true fans paying for football on cable, and grandma watching matlock on netflix. If that is the case, Rutgers, even though they are in NYC, doesn't make a lot of sense, they do not have a passionate fan base. Brian noted that Louisville is in a much smaller media market, but they are the only game in town and have a huge fan base. For alignment, Brian pointed out there is a major problem with Michigan and Ohio in different divisions - if they are playing for the big ten title the week following the Game, do they play as hard, do they not show the whole bag of tricks, or rest starters? Would be a de facto division championship if they were in the division. Regarding Dave Brandon, he said that the Hoke hire was great, but everything else is reducing the program and the experience. Said that he doesn't want to see a Lions game at Michigan Stadium, that Michigan is unique and Brandon is turning it into something generic. Would tell him not to make Michigan into pizza if he could talk to him. He pointed out that we do not watch college sports because it is the best product that is the pros, but there is something special about college sports. |

Seliger Considered For Texas Education Committee
By: Morgan Schutters
Updated: March 30, 2012
KAMR NBC4's Morgan Schutters spoke with Seliger, who says it's a position he would love to have; to help make sure future generations are given what they need to succeed.
That's in your local election headquarters.
Texas Senator Kel Seliger says to chair the Texas Senate Education Committee is a serious job.
He says nearly 5 million children are in our state's public education system, and education is always the most important issue.
"We always deal with this as the largest single part of the budget and we're preparing children to lead this state in the future so they must be well prepared!" Seliger says.
He says decisions for education are the most important part of his job.
Seliger's served on finance and education committees, and says he knows the problems facing public schools.
"We should not go in and try to run the school system but we need to know what the problems are and the tools they need and the help the legislature can be to the public schools," Seliger says.
It's up to the Lieutenant Governor to appoint the new committee chair.
This after current chair Florence Shapiro announced she will not seek re-election.
"We all want our children to grow up in an even better state than we grew up," Seliger says.
Other contenders for the position include Houston Republican Dan Patrick.
This week, Senator Seliger visited several Texas public schools to observe the administering of the STAAR tests to students.

We are still diligently watching the weather and waiting for any sign that the snowmobile trails will be open next weekend. While some of Minnesota's trail system is open, the trails along the Yeti Tour route are not open at this time. For that reason we unfortunately must put the ride portion of Yeti Tour 2013 on hold. This means that we do not intend to ride next weekend, and the snowmobile demo rides will not take place, given the current conditions and the upcoming weather forecast. However, if the snow comes and the trails are open we'll be out there! We will report back this week with any updates if and when the opportunity presents itself. Despite the lack of snow, Yeti Tour 2013 will go on! Please see the updated above itinerary for more information.

If you require assistance with trailing or your vehicle please let us know in advance. We will coordinate transporting luggage and gear both days of the ride. Overnight parking is available at The Sunset. A support vehicle will be provided in case of breakdowns or special needs. Please contact us if you have any needs or other questions or concerns.
