Sherlock Ideas Set For Seasons 4 And 5, Matt Smith Crossover Not Impossible
By Alicia Lutes 2 years ago comments
Though stateside the premiere is still a few days out, the BBCs Sherlock is set to close out its third season on Sunday across the pond. But that doesnt mean the wheels havent been turning for a confirmed fourth and hypothetical fifth season of the international megahit. In fact, the series showrunner Steven Moffat revealed that plans are in place for both. Rejoice, nerds of the world: your favorite hyper-brilliant misanthrope has been given an extended gameplan.
While speaking to the audience at a BAFTA screening of His Last Vow, Moffat revealed the unexpected news that he and writer Mark Gatiss (also known as Mycroft Holmes to fans of the series) have already planned the whole thing out. Rather excitingly, Mark and I, for no particular reason, we just got out of the rain and sat at the top of the [Sherlock] production bus and we just started plotting out what we could do in the future, and we plotted out the whole of series four and five.
The ideas we had that day, I thought were the best weve ever had," explained a modest Moffat. "...Our plans dont tend to be Lets blow up the world or cast the most famous person in the world they tend to be What exciting twists and turns can we add to this? And I think weve got some crackers. Its a happy prospect on the eve of the season three finale, which will no doubt cause a tizzy of post-lockian depression across the pond and beyond. Given the immense international popularity of the show, a fifth seems equally as likely, all things considered.
And if that werent enough to cause an apoplectic meltdown, Moffat also recently revealed, in the most speculation-baiting, not-really-news-but-well-take-it of fashions, that recently regenerated Doctor Who star Matt Smith could possibly/maybe end up in an episode of Sherlock, should a scenario where a Smith cameo on the series magically fall into place. Ready, set: fanboy.
"Nothing is impossible, the showrunner explained. Though it should be noted that its not something we're particularly striving for, either. Its not a yes, but its not a no, either so go forth and freak out, TV Anglophiles. That should make the subdued under-reactionaries in both fandoms quite happy, if not likely produce the fall of Tumblr and several other corners of the Internet. Death by GIF: welcome to 2014.
Of course there is a tiny hitch in the hypothetical: Smith and Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch might not be as keen as all of you. There's enough inevitable crossover talk between those two, it might be disconcerting for either of them to appear in the other's show. But, "if there was a perfect part for [Smith], there's no rule against it. We wouldn't want it to be stunt casting, because stunt casting doesn't work, so it would have to be just because he was overwhelmingly right for it. I mean, I love working with Matt. He's a phenomenal actor. I'd jump at the chance to work with him again. I don't know how likely that is to be on the set of Sherlock," Moffat said.
So there you have it: a teeny, tiny, damn-near microscopic ray of hypothetical hope. Now go have fun in your fan fiction caves, piecing together stories with potential baddies Smith could play. Go nuts. Or, you know, just go watch that Wholock crossover fan video. Feel free to fill in the blanks with your wild imagination.
Sherlock premieres in the US on Sunday, January 19 on PBS.

God and War: American Civil Religion since 1945, by Raymond Haberski Jr., is a history of the way religion has been used in American politics since the end of World War II, especially regarding war (including the cold war). Dr. Haberski, a history professor at Marian University, discusses how various presidents have related to and used religion in this regard, as well as clerics and intellectuals. He sees the use of religion as pretty ubiquitous, though varied in purpose and effect.
Presidents in particular often try to use religion to rally and unify the nation. For example, Dr. Haberski discusses Richard Nixon's first inaugural address wherein he says, "We find ourselves rich in goods, but ragged in spirit.… We are torn by division, wanting unity. We see around us empty lives, wanting fulfillment.… To a crisis of the spirit, we need an answer of the spirit."
It seems, in Dr. Haberski's telling, that there is greater variety of opinion among intellectuals and clerics in the use of religion in politics. Some of those are opposed to American civil religion, or at least highly critical of it. For example, the politically conservative Jewish author, Will Herberg writes, "Aside from occasional pronouncements by a few theologians … religion in America seems to possess little capacity to … bring to bear the judgment of God upon the nation and its ways."
By contrast, another writer, Sidney Mead, says, "A nation is 'essentially a spiritual society,' its soul created in the compact of the people." And he further says of the civil religion of the United States, "its ideals and aspirations stand in constant judgment over the passing shenanigans of the people."
Dr. Haberski's history gives one a good sense of the complexities, tensions, and variations of the connection of religion, civil or otherwise, and politics in the United States. Indeed while the author thinks he is writing about American civil religion in particular, I think he has succeeded in writing about religion more broadly. For example, the book discusses the left-wing evangelical minister Jim Wallis, who rejects American civil religion precisely from a Christian standpoint. Billy Graham is also discussed, and it is, I think, impossible to consider him as other than deeply Christian even on those occasions when expresses himself in more general religious or spiritual terms.
Although the appeals of presidents and other politicians are generally and necessarily nondenominational and the United States has no official religion, the citizenry are subject to multiple religious and ideological influences. Dr, Haberski thinks civil religion is necessary and good: "We cannot live without myths.… And we cannot function as a people without a way to talk about, believe in, and yes, critique those myths." Yet I find the whole concept of civil religion to be a tricky one.
What exactly is a civil religion? Do national or tribal religions like Judaism, Hinduism, or Native American religions count as civil religions? What about a secular ideology that provides myths for a nation but makes no pretence to religiosity like Marxism in the USSR or liberalism in Napoleonic France? Is civil religion ideology masquerading as a religion? Is it a melding of ideology and religiosity? What is the distinction, on the political plane, between ideology and religion? Can a religion with universalistic pretensions and aspirations and missionary impulses such as Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam serve as, or at least undergird, a civil religion and maintain its own integrity? Is Buddhism the civil religion of Taiwan and Catholicism that of Poland
Is Dr. Haberski correct when he says, "civil religion is not a set of laws but a collection of myths"? I am not an adherent of the U.S. civil religion myself, but the Declaration of Independence, with its talk of "unalienable Rights," seems to me to have its share of mythology while justifying the creation of laws to secure those supposed natural rights.
Dr. Haberski, who strikes me as a leftish Niebuhrian, has written an informative intellectual history that raises the above questions, at least in my mind. That he does not, I think, provide answers to any of these questions may be a weakness . It seems to me that without a clear conception of civil religion we cannot know if it really is necessary and good in general or in any particular instance.

Fulltime score: Round 23 Brisbane Broncos 4 v St George Illawarra Dragons 24
Match summary:
The Dragons have proven to one and all that they are real Minor Premiership contenders with a well fought victory over competition leaders, the Brisbane Broncos by 24-4.
The first half was a real grinder with both sides defending superbly as the ball seemed to go from one end of the field to the other with every set.
Expansive football was certainly on order for the packed Suncorp Stadium in perfect condition and both sides turned it on.
With a slender lead of just 6-0 at the break, the Dragons put on a splendid second half display that left all present in no doubt that they intend to go all the way in 2005.
Soaking up the inevitable attack by the Broncos, the desperate scrambling defence by the Dragons turned into a great display of skills as they scored 3 tries in the last fifteen minutes to seal the game nicely.
The Broncos defence at times was stunning, Hodges and Civoniceva putting in top notch efforts for their team.
With the Dragons hosting the Eels next Sunday, the race for the top spot on the ladder is wide open, and certainly not worth missing.

Tulsa Expo Raceway Indoor Auto Racing - Racing Across AmericaWritten by on February 1, 2000 Tulsa Expo Race Way
Indoor auto racing-not a phrase you hear often in our sport. Yet there is an indoor track in Tulsa that offers some of the most exciting and anticipated dirt track racing of the year-indoor or outdoor.
Tulsa Expo Raceway is basically classified as a "makeshift racetrack" housed in a massive 1111/42- to 12-acre building on the Tulsa State Fairgrounds. For roughly 50 weeks out of the year, the building hosts local events and shows, but for two weeks in January, its walls shake under the force of full-bore race cars.
"This building is huge," says Emmett Hahn, president and founder of American Sprint Car Series and copromoter of the Chili Bowl. "The building was constructed in 1962 and did not even have sidewalls. It was originally built for an oil-derrick show."
The main roof on the building has an opening in the top, which is then covered by a raised roof about 2 feet higher than the main roof. This system, along with 13 huge exhaust fans, allows proper ventilation for exhaust fumes while keeping out inclement weather.
"In 1984, when the open-wheel Super Modifieds left the fairgrounds," reflects Hahn, "we took some clay and stockpiled it. We built a track in 1986 and ran Midgets in what we chose to call the Chili Bowl."
Slated to run every first Saturday in January, the STP Tulsa Shootout is held the weekend before the Chili Bowl. The two events are held on consecutive weekends simply because bringing in the clay and subsequently removing that clay is a massive task for the promoters. Technically, the floor of the building is made of concrete, but Hahn's crew brings in more than 700 loads of clay to transform the surface into almost a perfectly circular track. And after the two shows are over?
"When the Chili Bowl is over on Saturday night," explains Hahn, "by Tuesday at noon the cleanup crew is steam-cleaning the walls and ceiling for a huge boat show that comes in the weekend right after us."
The complexity and headaches involved in staging the races are immense, but all the hard work pays off year after year as some of the country's best dirt-track racing takes place within the building's walls.
"The STP Tulsa Shootout," says Hahn, "is where we run about 600 go-karts. We also have Quads and Micro-Sprints that comprise our main classes. It is a big event; for example, we had more than 1,100 vehicles running over the length of last year's event."
The Chili Bowl has quickly become one of the top dirt events in the country, and the racers show up in droves. The weekend will see anywhere from 115-140 Midget cars competing for the coveted championship.
"I don't mean to toot our own horn," Hahn boasts, "but the Chili Bowl is probably one of the top-five 'most talked about' dirt track events in the country." Just some of the drivers who have turned laps at this prestigious event include Page and P.J. Jones, Dave Blaney, Kenny Schrader, Jeff Gordon, Sammy Swindell, Billy Boat, and Tony Stewart.
"Besides having outstanding racing," says Hahn, "the quality of cars, the quality of drivers, the size of the track, and the fact that the people haven't seen racing in several months due to the time of year, between all of that, it is simply a 'happening.' That's what makes peo-ple come."

That better? ICMP echo is not a per-port operation. I don't know what the site you quote means by 'closed'.

One of the great features of the AncestryDNA test is that it details your ethnic origins across 26 geographic regions around the world.
How do we do it? We've assembled one the of most comprehensive DNA datasets in the world, with thousands of DNA samples from people with deep roots in each of the 26 different regions. This dataset makes up what we call the "reference panel." Each person in the reference panel is from a specific location and has a documented family tree indicating deep ancestry in a particular region. To estimate your genetic ethnicity, we compare your DNA to the DNA of the people who make up the reference panel and then upload the results to your Ancestry account.
See a few of the faces of people who define their heritage in AncestryDNA. Each of these individuals represents the past, present and future of their culture and the connection to that heritage for AncestryDNA customers.
Here's the most recent map of the regions available in the AncestryDNA test results.
There are millions of variations in your DNA that make you unique. However, since you inherit these variations from your ancestors, they are also what make DNA a powerful history tool. This allows you to discover connections to your past and learn more about the people and places in your family story. To learn more about how AncestryDNA determines genetic ethnicity click here.
This is an exciting time to be a part of DNA testing especially as we see advancements in the science and technology world that enhance the level of detail and specificity we can use to discover more of our story.
If you have taken the AncestryDNA test already, did you find out about an ethnicity you didn't know you have? Tell us in the comments below.
If you have not taken the test yet, what are you waiting for? Order it now.

You bet I found out things from my DNA test that I didn't know: I have a weensy bit of European Jewish as well as a lot of Scandinavian DNA (those Vikings spread their seed).
I always thought I was 1/2 German, but that area was not in my DNA. I'm wondering why my paternal ancestors who all came to the US from Germany were not German!! 'Tis a mystery.
And, besides, on my maternal side there are American Indian ancestors, but I got none of their DNA, apparently. What a disappointment.

I'm located in Australia. I participated in the early beta release of the Ancestry DNA test where the test was mailed out to me and this worked very well.
However, the test is only now available to those living in USA.
When will the test be expanded to include non-USA? Will you consider allowing the import of Autosomal DNA test data from other testing providers such as FTDNA (which I have had to resort to since you won't ship out to Australia).
When will the surname and location search feature be functioning in tandem again? It would be nice to have an update on what is happening with that feature.
You didn't say what your DNA admixture breakdown is, but there's a good chance that anything being classified as western or northern European, Scandinavian, etc. is coming from your German ancestry. These regions have a lot of overlap genetically and DNA tests can't necessarily distinguish. Strictly speaking, there's no German ethnicity. The DNA test can only look at the markers in your DNA, compare those to sample populations, and then make an educated guess about your admixture. When you look at Scandinavia on a map, you can see why Germans and Scandinavians might be genetically similar.
In the many years that I have done research almost everything is accurate, on my fathers side all links lead back to France, all the family has been in Canada from the beginning, With one exception the test shows no Native American ties, yet I know for a fact my 2nd great grandmother was full blooded, and further back there are 2 more links, but the rest was fine, the English all came here in the great migration, with 2 even on the Mayflower and the Germans came here in the 1850's, a little disappointed, on the one hand, but I do understand all matches don't show up!
I was surprised by the 3% from the Iberian Peninsula. Who were these people, what were their names – I have yet to find any Portuguese or Spanish in my tree.
The 13 % African was not a surprise and most percentages came from West Africa. I wonder if the Iberian genes were mixed with the African genes during the years of the slave trade .
The most important thing to remember when doing DNA : your genetic lineage is NOT your paper lineage. Who you came from began thousands and thousands of years ago. My female Haplogrouping is J – so my 'first' mother showed up they believe 50,000 years ago. There is NO way I will ever know who she is.. just that she had children, and those children continued to populate the earth.. as well as travel the continents.
My paternal Haplogroup is I1 – considered the Stonemasons, and they are over 30,000 years old. All those that came in between the original father and my own will never be known.
Autosomally, my groupings seem to match what we see on paper going into the 1500s on some lines (english, german, norwegian and danish – those countries that kept very good church records, making it somewhat easy to track ancestors)
And always remember: our ancestors traveled. Just because they lived in Germany for 400 years, does not mean THEIR ancestors didn't come from Asia -just as an example. They will be mixed with others in the current region, but if the DNA was there to pass down, it is what it is. One cannot change what DNA is. Get others within your family to test for a larger truer scale of WHO you are, who you all are comprised from
It seems like every one else is having trouble showing their American Indian heritage as well. My children have native american indian blood but it doesnt show up in the tests results. Is that a flaw in the test?
[…] The Faces Behind AncestryDNA's Ethnicity Regions by Anna Swayne […]
I found out a few blood lines I was unsure of but were confirmed.
However, I am wondering about the lack of information and non information regarding my European Jewish lines that did not turn up when I know without a doubt I have several ancestors from Spain that were Conversos came to the New World and settled in what is now New Mexico in the US. My maternal line goes back to Rabbi Salomon Ha Levi?
I took the test because my Dad was adopted in the 1920's and we have no information about his birth family. Based on the test, it looks like they were at least partly Irish, as I am showing 38% Irish and there is zero Irish on my Mom's side. On the other hand, Mom was half German and I am showing very little Western European.

The General Counsel position was established by the Reorganization Plan No. 6 of 1953 and by Defense Directive 5145.1, August 24, 1953. The position was derived from one of the original three Special Assistants to the Secretary (1947) and the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Legal and Legislative Affairs)(1949).
Congress accepted Reorganization Plan No. 6, and it became effective on June 30, 1953. Reorganization Plan No. 6 established the General Counsel of the Department of Defense as substantially equivalent in rank to the Assistant Secretaries of Defense. The authority of the General Counsel as the Department's Chief Legal Officer is codified in 10 U.S.C. §140.

Organization's search and rescue units, emergency services to take part for first time in Home Front Command drill simulating massive earthquake
Yoav Zitun
Published: 01.02.12, 01:06 / Israel News
Yoav Zitun
NATO forces are scheduled to participate, for the first time, in a home front drill that will be held in Israel next
The drill, dubbed "Turning Point 6," will simulate a massive earthquake leading to wide-scale destruction and large amounts of casualties.

NATO Search and rescue units, as well as supporting units will arrive in Israel to take part in the drill, which will also include Israel's emergency services, the Police, Magen David Adom, fire services, as well as local authorities, governmental ministries, and representatives from the political echelon.
Two weeks ago, Minister for Home Front Defense Matan Vilnai met with NATO Deputy Secretary General Claudio Bisogniero in Brussels to discuss the details of the joint exercise.
During his visit, Vilnai also met with other senior members of the organization and officials from the European Union in order to discuss future cooperation between Israel and Europe on emergency and crisis management issues.
"We have a big interest in deepening and widening our ties with the Union and with NATO," said Vilnai, adding that "both Europe and Israel can benefit from steady cooperation on preparedness and response to emergencies and crises."

When Richard Ayoade arrived in 2010 with his charming tale of adolescence and young romance with the stylish "Submarine," the picture was immediately greeted with rather reductive comparisons to Wes Anderson. It was an unfair assessment levelled at the movie and filmmaker—even from those who championed the film—that diminished what an accomplished piece of cinema Ayoade had put together. And one can't help but wonder if "The Double" is a sly response to those criticisms of borrowing from others. Certainly, his latest will invoke names like Terry Gilliam and Michel Gondry to be tossed around, but make no mistake: not only does "The Double" confirm Ayoade as one of the brightest rising talents behind the camera, it's completely his own and unlike anything you've seen in cinemas in quite some time.
Based on the novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky, the story follows the meek and awkward Simon James (Jesse Eisenberg), a white collar drone working for an unnamed company as a data processor. He's seen as a potential rising star by his boss (a wonderfully energetic Wallace Shawn), even though he calls him Stanley, and has modest aspirations of moving up the corporate ladder by one day impressing the head honcho, The Colonel (James Fox), with one of his reports. Meanwhile, he's got one eye on Hannah (Mia Wasikowska) who works in another department—and also happens to live in the apartment building opposite his—but he can't work up the courage to ask her out. But overall, his life is that of dull drab routine, where he's barely recognized at work, ignored by Hannah and nearly resented by his mother who resides in an assisted living facility.
"I'm like Pinocchio. I'm a woody boy, not a real boy. It kills me," Simon confesses, but soon he'll be fighting for the genuine self that he didn't know he had. One day, James Simon arrives at the office, and simply put: he's an exact double of Simon. Granted, no one else seems to notice, but Simon does and at first he's merely amazed by their striking physical similarity. And, that's where the parallels end. Confident and commanding, James possesses the personality Simon wishes he had, and they both know it. Soon enough, James starts encroaching on Simon's life, taking credit for his work, going after his girl and grabbing the successes and promotions Simon has been quietly striving toward. But as Simon begins to battle back, no one believes his story and he's slowly pushed to the brink of madness.
If this sounds surreal and absurd, that's because it is, and Ayoade, instead of playing it real, rewardingly embraces the oddity of the story. The films boasts some fantastic production design courtesy of David Crank ("The Master") that manages the feat of transmitting the utter tedium of Simon's workplace by making it creative and interesting. Taking place in a uniquely detailed world, computers look like they're housed in the husk of an Airstream, and everything seems to be moved by dials, switches and levers. The cinematography by Erik Wilson ("Tyrannosaur," "Submarine") evokes '50s noir with lots of smoke, shadows, grit and minimal lighting, with everything coming together in a fully realized setting that is wholly original and a lot of fun to take in.
As Ayoade proved with his debut, he's got a wonderful eye for framing, and he doesn't waste an inch here, teaming with Wilson to create some truly striking scenes. And narratively, "The Double" matches its visual consistency with a narrative rhythm that is utterly engaging. Parallel imagery, repeated shots, incredible sound design (the thrum of white noise never sounded this good) and almost musical editing come together beautifully to perfectly depict the life of Simon James as it comes apart piece by piece. (A special note also has to go out to Andrew Hewitt's truly standout score.)
But none of this works without a story that goes beyond the mere the gimmick of someone discovering their (evil) doppelganger. With a story conceived by Avi Korine (yes, Harmony's brother) and co-written alongside Ayoade, the pair not only manage to take the premise in some fascinating directions, they give it an emotional and thematic pull that is surprisingly weighty for this sort of picture, that could easily just exist as an exercise in aesthetics. "The Double" makes some rather interesting (and sure, sometimes fairly obvious and too direct) points about how easy it can be to lose one's sense of individuality, particularly through a willing passivity to someone else's goals. It's not exactly deep or profound, but will strike a chord for anyone stuck in an unsatisfying job, or merely finding excuses not to do something to make their personal or professional goals a reality.
And helping to tie together the sometimes bizarre and audacious story is Jesse Eisenberg, giving two excellent performances as Simon and James. While it doesn't take the actor out of his comfort zone, these parts allow him to find new notes to both his trademark on screen personas: that of the perpetually inept and bumbling young adult, and the slick, asshole-ish, smooth operator he first presented in "The Social Network." And moreover, he makes both not just distinct and fully formed (when he barges in as James, it's like another actor has entered the movie) but compelling too, with Eisenberg on screen for nearly every moment of the film. And around Eisenberg is a great array of support, with nice turns in small roles from Cathy Moriarty (who is particularly enjoyable), Yasmin Page and Noah Taylor that add strong sharp corners, to the carefully constructed box of the movie.
Granted there are some minor flaws here and there—one particular late cameo is jarring and tonally out of sync with the rest of the movie—but we can't remember the last film that strode on the screen so boldly with a promise to present something totally different, and delivering so completely. Whether or not Ayoade felt his own creative personality slipping away by the phantom presence of Anderson when "Submarine" came out, perhaps we'll never know, but "The Double" makes no doubt that he's got his own voice and vision. Totally bonkers, hilarious and wickedly clever, "The Double" is special and singular filmmaking at its best. [A-]

X'ed Out.
The X-Games are in town. There is one thing and one thing only that I like about the X-Games and that is this:
Guys who seriously hurt themselves doing stupid stuff meant to be done by little kids. Here's hoping for a nice, old-fashioned fatality or two, preferably doing something as infantile as possible. LIttle known fact, if you die while wearing a Monster Energy Drink wool cap, you are an embarrassment not just to yourself, but your entire family line and all the way back to the primordial ooze that first generated life on this planet. At least that ooze had the good sense not to ride a bicycle down a handrail for no good reason whatsoever.

hey i know alot of people are probably going to vegas, i am to, but other then that what games do you like to make when our football team is on the road, or what games are you planning on going to this upcoming season, im going to the Iowa/UNLV game, just trying to get excited for football season...
Colorado is a great place to go to a game. Hotel is right on campus, nice Iowa State Party and hopefully a win. I highly recommend it. Party is at the Harvest House Hotel in Boulder.
do you know how long of a drive it is to CU?
I will also be going to the Colorado game, and most definetly the Iowa game. Wouldn't miss that one.

I'll be at the K-State game and maybe another one if I can swing it.

I think it took about 11 hours to drive to Steamboat (although this was going through Wyoming) and I think 9 hours to drive to Greeley. So 9-10ish hours?
And my only advice when driving to Colorado. Drive through Nebraska at night. Iowa isn't much better, but wow. We left for Steamboat about midnight from Ames and got there I think around noon.

well i think if i could id go to CU for that game, but i spent alot on Vegas, and i spent a good amount of tickets for Iowa so i think im spent
UNLV and hopefully Iowa if I can get tickets.
Road tripping after class Friday to CU hopefully with some buddies. If gas keeps going up, we as college students, won't be able to afford it.
Baylor. First and probably last time. Checking it off the Big XII stadiums list. Good year to go since there's a realistic chance at a win compared to some other games.

Probably just UNLV and Iowa.
Kansas wears Adidas.
UNLV, Baylor, and OSU
Two more off the stadium list. A&M is next year, Colorado year after that finishes the tour.
Iowa for sure, and possibly UNLV.
Then Baylor, Okie State, and Colorado to finish off the Big XII stadiums.

He doesnt even play special teams anymore, because his IQ couldnt handle when to leave a ball to bounce or slide after it like he is in a baseball game.
He is decent but he does NOT need to be active during games. We know what he is already. He will just get slower with each season and he cant muscle anyone off the ball. He is the avg joe's superhero

Police made a handful of arrests after using tear gas and pepper spray to disperse crowds of Ohio State students and other fans following the Buckeyes' win. Officers on foot, on horses and in cruisers patrolled the main drag through campus after midnight Tuesday, when revelers spilled out of bars near the campus to celebrate the university's 42-20 win over the University of Oregon in Dallas. Thousands converged on the Ohio State football stadium, where police turned most of them away. Most headed back to the bar area, where cruisers lined the street and officers limited pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Photos | Buckeye fans celebrate win over Oregon Fans tore down a temporary goal post on the south end of the Ohio Stadium field used for high school games, said university spokesman Dan Hedman. University police responded to various places in and around campus, including Ohio Stadium, the university's Mirror Lake, a popular student gathering spot, and the neighborhood north of campus, Hedman said.

Oh my gosh people still believe that having sex before marriage is wrong? Wake up! We live in a time where lots of people have sex before marriage. I am 20 and i have a 6 month old daughter and i wouldn't trade her for anything. All you have to do is dont worry and just keep trying! It will happen!posted 05/12/2008 by katenia1180
Sweetie, Not to be mean HOLD OFF! I love my daughter very much but it changes your life DRAMATICALLY....you haven;t even gotten to experience being 21...one of the highlights in your life. Trust me there is soo much I miss i could still do but I have my daughter...and dont get me wrong I DO NOT regret her...BUT i'm not trying to knock you...if you feel you are ready then I would just take a step back for a second and think about what I said. As far as this one comment about a child being born to a mother and a father...That DOESNT mean you have to be married...Im not married but me and my daughters father are still together and we live together...been that way for 3 years now! Well I hope you do good in whatever you decide!posted 05/12/2008 by AngieLou22
I'm 21 and pregnant with my first child. It was not a planned pregnancy. I'm not married and have been with my boyfriend for a mear 9 months. He dident leave. Not all men or all situations are the same. Why should women who get pregnant on accident and make the choice to keep it and raise it why should they be looked down apon. There are worse options. I will love my child just as if i was ready for him/her. I will never let my child feel that they were a mistake. No baby is a mistake. All babies are gifts from god and that the approach most people need to have but they dont, and its sad. God never gives you more then you can handle and I truely believe that.posted 05/02/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I am currently pregnant with my first child. I am 17 years old and it was unplanned. I don't believe age or legal marriage makes any difference in the quality of parenting you give to your child. I am in a stable relationship and even though I had a great job I decided to stay at home til at least my child is about 3 years old. My boyfriend lives with me and is a college student and works full time. He is supportive not only financially but also emotionally. He is excited to become a father. So is my situation wrong just because of my age and marriage status even though it is doing perfectly well. We also plan on getting married but only when it is the right time for both of us.posted 03/31/2008 by sara_ana101
Sometimes conception just needs to happen without the pressure that many women assign to it. I'm 18 and when I conceived my son, I was below 100 lbs, a chain-smoker, and had been told that I was infertile. I didn't intend to get pregnant, but our son is the most incredible thing to occur in both my and my boyfriend's life. He's also surprisingly very healthy and I'm finding motherhood to be the most creative experience. Also, for those of you that believe that young women are damned by pregnancy, I'm actually still attending an Ivy League. To those of you that believe parents must be married to nurture a child, or that a single mother is not sufficient, I know of numerous examples to prove you wrong.posted 03/28/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
Just a thought... why is everyone commenting on marriage? Did she say whether or not she was married? Nope. She asked for advice on conception, not a lecture on age, marital status, or religion. As for my response to the question, just be patient with nature. If you are meant to birth a child you will at the right time. If you're young you PROBABLY won't have to deal with infertility, but if you're getting frustrated then you should talk to your doctor. My husband and I tried unsuccessfully for 5 months and gave up for the time being. 1 year later I became pregnant, without trying at all. Now we have a beautiful 4 month old daughter. Good luck to you, and all who are trying to conceive, regardless of your marital status.posted 03/13/2008 by hnshafer1
First things first, make sure your ready. Babys are definitely cute and cuddly but they take a lot out of you. Start preparing your body by exercising and eating properly. I your already healthy done there with no issues you become pregnant in no time.posted 03/11/2008 by Tori momster

I too had trouble conceiving. My husband and i tried for a year, went through months of fertility treatments and then decided to take a month off from treatment before starting IVF. Believe it or not, in the month off I became pregnant naturally. My advice to you would be to stay possitive and keep trying. If you have not already you may want to see a doctor to make sure everything is ok. In the end the only thing to do is not give up and remember that miracles happen everyday.posted 01/02/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
Look up on the internet best way to get pregnant. There's this great site called cafemom.com where you can ask moms questions on how they got pregnant and when the best time is. You should try 2-3 days before you ovulate that way the sperm has time to get to the egg before it dies. Try taking ovulation test because they tell you when you're getting ready to ovulate. I wish the best of luck to you. I want a baby too. Email me if you get pregnant because i would love to know if my info helped you out any.

LAKE CITY, Fla. (AP) - A Georgia teen attending football camp in north Florida has died following a morning a practice.
Columbia County authorities say 16-year-old Donteria J. Searcy was found unresponsive in his cabin late Tuesday morning. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.
The junior defensive lineman was at O'Leno State Park with the Fitzgerald High School football team. Grief counselors were sent to the camp to help Searcy's teammates cope. Detectives are investigating the death, but no foul play is suspected. The sheriff's office says an autopsy will be performed to determine a cause of death.

|Phone, check scams target grandmas
|Written by Chris Lee
Scams seem to be popping up everywhere. Internet, telephone and even scams through the mail are becoming more and more visible in today's tough economic times.
Lela Carruthers recently received a phone call from someone posing as her grandchild. "Is this Kevin?" she asked. When asking what grandson was in trouble, she provided a name and thought it was a legitimate call.
"He sounded different," Carruthers said. She said it had been awhile since she had spoken with her grandson on the phone and didn't think anything about it. He said he might have sounded funny because he had been hit in the mouth and nose.
The caller asked Carruthers to keep the call between themselves and asked for money because he was in trouble. When saying she didn't have the funds, the caller kept coming up with other ways she could get the money. "Could you borrow it from the bank?" the caller asked her.
Fortunately, Carruthers found out it was a scam and hung up.
"Hi grandma, I'm in trouble," was what another elderly person in Holyoke heard on the other end of their phone recently.
According to the person's grandson, who wasn't in trouble and not the one on the phone, his grandparent was ready to send the money, until he stopped it.
The woman asked the person on the other end of the line which grandson she was speaking with by listing names of her grandchildren. This provided the scammer with names to choose from just as Carruthers did. Fortunately, the process was halted before a money transfer could be completed.
It is recommended to call and verify different situations with other family members.
Carruthers said she has heard of at least four other people in Holyoke who have received similar calls and said everyone should be careful not to fall for the fraudulent calls.
Another call consisted of the caller saying the granddaughter of the person receiving the call was in jail and needed money. This scam was sought out immediately because the granddaughter in question is 2 years old.
Fake checks received in the mail
Holyoke Police Chief Phil Biersdorfer said another scam has been seen recently in the form of checks coming through the mail.
Fake checks have been mailed out to area residents recently. These checks are completely fake and in some instances require the person receiving it to send a portion of the money back to the sender. Residents are warned not to follow through with returning any money.
The checks have come in the form of fake businesses, secret shopper and lottery-type winning checks.
Carruthers wasn't only the target of a phone scam but also check scams. In a period of four days she received two different checks totaling $7,450. The downside, they weren't real. Not even close. But to the naked eye, they look like real checks.
The letters accompanying each check explained she had won prize money. If both were real, Carruthers would've been $185,000 richer. One of the checks she received was for $3,950.
The letter stated "to expedite the processing, enclosed is a check of $3,950 which has been deducted from your winnings. You will be using some money on this first check to pay for the applicable taxes on your total winning ($65,000)."
It instructs in the letter, "Do not attempt to use this check until you call and speak with the claim agent." Phone numbers, name of agent and office hours are all listed. One of the letters lists a number in British Columbia, Canada while the other is a 416 area code for Toronto and Ontario.
Another check (the first one she received) was from State Farm Fire and Casualty Company in Monroe, La. She instantly called her nephew who works for State Farm and he said they don't have offices in Monroe. This tipped off Carruthers to the scam.
Monday when she received the second check, she noticed the envelopes were very similar. All the coding was the same and each stamp was the same—Canadian stamps.
Phillips County Senior Service Coordinator and Ombudsman Erin LeBlanc said she tries to mention scams to senior citizens as often as she can. Specific examples include callers posing as bank personnel or Medicare representatives.
LeBlanc urges people to hang up and call a number they have on file to verify it is legitimate if they didn't initiate the phone call. She said don't ever call a number the caller supplies.
If something seems too good to be true, out of the ordinary or just weird, step back and think about it or contact local law enforcement.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-4) and Oakland Raiders (3-4) meet Sunday afternoon at O.co Coliseum (4:05 p.m. ET, FOX). Here is point spread information and trends analysis from The Linemakers on Sporting News. For updated lines, visit our live odds page.
Weather: Sunny and 76 degrees
Line: Raiders -1.5, Total: 46.5
Line movement: The Raiders opened -3 (even) and Bucs money came fast, dropping the number 2.5 and eventually 1.5. The total opened 45 and has been bet up to 46.5
Series trends – StatFox Six Pack:
OAKLAND is 28-62 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record since 1992.
OAKLAND is 36-66 ATS in games where the line is +3 to -3 since 1992.
OAKLAND is 8-0 OVER at home in the second half of the season over the last three seasons.
TAMPA BAY is 1-8 ATS in the second half of the season over the last two seasons.
TAMPA BAY is 7-0 OVER when playing against a team with a losing record over the last two seasons.
TAMPA BAY is 51-25 UNDER after a win by 10 or more points since 1992.
Check out the Platinum Sheet for more valuable angles.
Buccaneers outlook: Rookie running back Doug Martin had a breakout game as Tampa Bay snapped a nine-game losing streak with a 36-17 drubbing of Minnesota. Martin rambled for 135 yards -- his first 100-yard game -- and a touchdown and added three receptions for 79 yards and a score. The Buccaneers have rolled up 102 points in three games since their bye, and QB Josh Freeman is a big reason why. Freeman has thrown for 1,010 yards with nine touchdown passes and one interception in that span while posting a passer rating above 100.0 in all three games. Bucs WR Vincent Jackson has had four TD catches in his last five games vs. Oakland. Guard Carl Nicks suffered a season-ending injury vs. the Vikings.
Buccaneers' key injuries:
— DE Michael Bennett (foot) questionable
— CB Eric Wright (Achilles) questionable
— LG Carl Nicks (foot) out
— TE Danny Noble (hamstring) out
Raiders outlook: Oakland has taken advantage of a soft spot in its schedule to register back-to-back wins to climb within a game of .500. After posting a 26-23 win over Jacksonville, the Raiders dominated Kansas City, 26-16, last week. Darren McFadden ran for a season-high 114 yards for only his second 100-yard game of the season. Carson Palmer completed only 50 percent of his passes and threw for 209 yards, but he connected with Denarius Moore and Darrius Heyward-Bey for touchdown strikes. Oakland's defense forced four turnovers and recorded three sacks in holding its first opponent under 22 points. The Raiders are 6-1 all time against the Bucs.
Raiders' key injuries:
— DE Richard Seymour (knee) questionable
— LB Keenan Clayton (shoulder) questionable
— LB Rolando McClain (toe) questionable
— RB Bilal Powell (shoulder) questionable
— G Stefen Wisniewski (ankle) questionable
What The Linemakers are saying: It's bad news whenever the Raiders are favored if looking to bet them because they haven't covered 17 of their last 21 in that role. Right now, Josh Freeman is hot, throwing for nine TDs and over 1,000 yards in his past three games since coming off the bye, and the Bucs have averaged almost 31 points a game over that span. The Bucs have covered five of their seven games this season. The Raiders have won two in a row, but did so against the Jags and Chiefs, two of the three lowest-rated teams in the league. The positive for Oakland is that their run started with a strong road game in Atlanta. With the Bucs having secondary issues, we think the Raiders should be able to score and keep up with the Bucs making this a good OVER play.
