"Times are tough for libraries, and when times get tough, managers—whether college administrators, a principal, a board of trustees, or even voters—start asking about the viability of programs and the measurable benefits of those programs. That's why understanding how to measure your library's activities—and therefore proving their value—is critical in today's economic environment."

Should they campaign together or separately?
Romney and Ryan had planned to go their separate ways before meeting up at the end of the month at the Republican National Convention in Tampa. But then campaign strategists saw how much of a psychic boost Romney got from Ryan — and how much more animated Romney appeared on television with his younger running mate at his side.

The conversation: #IoE and #InternetofEverything
[...] even if only a fraction of things connect to other things, the connections among them grow exponentially.
So, while it's fun to play with the numbers, it is clear that the most important aspect of IoE is the value that results from making intelligent and relevant connections to give people and machines the information needed to make better decisions."

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood has chosen not to renew her contract with THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, according to the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest. The actress has played Steffy Forrester on the soap since June 2008. There's no word yet of her last airdate or if B&B plans to recast the role.
According to the CBS Soaps in Depth Twitter feed, the Digest news is not completely accurate: Contrary to rumors, Jacqueline Wood remains Steffy, is "continuing to tape, with episodes airing through July and then beyond. Technically, she IS taking a break. But as the show says, 'like she's done before.'"
From Soap Opera Digest online:
B&B's popular star, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy), is leaving the show. "Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is taking a short break, as she has done in the past, from B&B," confirms a spokesperson for the No. 2 soap. "She remains as the character of Steffy Forrester and is continuing to tape, currently with episodes airing through July of 2013 and then beyond." Digest learned the actress had wrapped filming and was sent flowers on her last day; turns out, she is taping again this Friday.
More information here from Hunter Tylo (Taylor) who announced she is also leaving the show.
Fans of THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL's Steffy Forrester have been disheartened ever since the brunette departed L.A. for Paris, but viewers needn't count her out. She'll be airing on Thursday, July 11 and Friday, July 12.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" teases Scott Clifton (Liam), when asked where his storyline with Steffy was heading now that her portrayer, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, is technically off-contract with the show. "Let me be clear — she's not gone," he clarifies. "She'll be around. If you talk to her, she'll tell you she has no intention of, like, never showing up again. She's going to be coming back."

The 12.3-mile light-rail extension includes future stations in the cities of Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona, Claremont and Montclair; as well as two new grade-separated crossings (at Lone Hill in Glendora and Towne Avenue in Pomona). The project would extend light-rail service between Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties, terminating the line at the multi-modal TransCenter in Montclair where multiple bus lines from throughout San Bernardino County and Metrolink already connect. The proposed extension is planned to run mostly at street level and parking is planned at each station.
"This is an important next step in our effort to connect Los Angeles, the San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire by light rail and a very exciting milestone," said Doug Tessitor, chairman of the construction authority board. "The construction authority is steadfastly committed to completing our mission of building the Gold Line out to Montclair and hopefully further to Ontario Airport. Our decision last night allows us to move forward with designing the project as we seek funding to build the line east of Azusa."

Why Updating Drivers Is Important
Usually the only reason we look to install or update storage drivers is because something is malfunctioning. This is not the only reason you should keep your drivers up to date however. Manufacturers are constantly updating and improving performance of their devices and the only way to make use of this is by having the latest system drivers. Obviously going online and checking for new drivers all the time is not desirable so using a tool like the one at the top of this page you can keep all of your hardware running on the optimal drivers with top performance.
When new hardware is installed, although it works correctly, other hardware which interacts with it may not be, because the other hardware actually needs its own drivers updated. This kind of co-dependency is another common problem and a reason why it's a great idea to have a tool that is constantly monitoring the state of all of your drivers and updating appropriately so you can upgrade and add or remove components in your computer while continuing to run without a hitch.
If your storage is fairly new, it may be possible to download individual storage driver files directly from the manufacturer without incurring additional charges. If you are having problems locating the correct driver, or are unsure of the exact model, we suggest you run this system scan first. It is very important that you know the exact model of your storage that you would like to update to prevent possible damage to your system. We suggest that you click here to download an installer that will automatically scan and identify your storage to ensure you are installing the correct update and will also locate and download any additional driver and bios updates your pc may need.


text: PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- A professional sports franchise isn't a right, as money-hungry owners and cash-strapped cities are all too aware.Since 2000, six franchises from Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League have pulled up stakes and switched towns. While baseball's Montreal Expos jumped to Washington in 2005 and the NHL's Atlanta Thrashers left for Winnipeg in 2011, the NBA has seen the Vancouver Grizzlies flee to Memphis in 2001, the Charlotte Hornets break for New Orleans in 2002, the Seattle Supersonics slip off to Oklahoma City in 2008 and the New Jersey Nets pay a few tolls on the way to Brooklyn in 2011. Meanwhile, for every town that has a faltering franchise, there's another with an empty or somewhat-empty building waiting to steal a pro team away. From Toronto trying on the NFL's Buffalo Bills once a season to Quebec building the NHL a giant safety net for one of its southern franchises, there's always a town looking for some more television time and potential revenue. Even Kansas City hasn't been picky about potential residents for its vacant Sprint Center, auditioning fumbling franchises from both the NHL and NBA for the position. What well-funded investors in Seattle made very clear during their pursuit of the Sacramento Kings earlier this year, meanwhile, is that fans in Salt Lake City, New Orleans, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Phoenix and Portland, Ore., shouldn't take their professional teams for granted.

text: "About a year ago I called Alternative Tentacles in the hope of setting up an interview with Victims Family and what I found out put me in an instant depression: the band had called it quits for good and would probably never reform again. I was devastated. Victims Family are probably one of the best and most original bands of the last 10 years. The fact that they're not a part of everyone's record collection is a crime. 4 Great Thrash Songs is not a 4-song goodbye EP or anything; it's a 23-song live performance from their final show in Amsterdam in '94. I've never and will never experience a band so creative, jazzy and unique yet so fucking tight. Man did these guys have the full package, they wrote fresh and often hilarious poignant political lyrics, they wrote distinguishable & imaginative songs which they played to perfection. How Primus can become millionaires and Victims Family break up in relative obscurity is unfathomable to me. This has all the "hits" like "Anti-Satan Song For Mom", "Naive Children" and "Product." If like me you're a devout Victims Family fan mourning their breakup this will help ease their pain - if you're not a fan what the hell is your problem?"- All The Answers

Miriam Hughes wins award for pastel work
Miriam Hughes of Hendersonville recently won the Dakota Award in the 2013 North Carolina Statewide Pastel Juried Exhibition for her piece "Sleeping Hound Dog."
The "On Common Ground: Pastels from the Mountains to the Sea" exhibit will display through Aug. 18 at the Hickory Museum of Art in the Arts & Science Center of the Catawba Valley, 243 Third Ave. NE, Hickory.
"On Common Ground" is the second annual North Carolina statewide juried pastel exhibition, and it features 77 pastel paintings selected from 203 submissions. The show is a collaboration of three pastel societies in North Carolina: the Appalachian Pastel Society, the Pastel Society of North Carolina and the Piedmont Pastel Society.
On "Sleeping Hound Dog," Hughes said, "this one dog captured my heart, and I barely remember creating him because it was so seamless and from the heart. He looked as if he were in a happy dream. It created one of those magical moments where you are the art."
The museum is open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1-4 p.m. Sundays. Admission is free.
Call 828-327-8576 or visit www.hickoryart.org for more information.

Guntram Gersch's art on display at TFAC
The art of Guntram Gersch is on display through Saturday at Tryon Fine Arts Center in Gallery One and the adjacent Mahler Room.
The executor of the estate has announced the exposition and sale of framed paintings and ceramics from the artist's Tryon residence at the time of his death on Jan. 13. By terms of Gersch's will, the proceeds of this sale will benefit Hospice of the Carolina Foothills.
The center is open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturdays.
At 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, there will be an hourlong "walk-and-talk" through the two galleries with estate executor and art historian Michael McCue. McCue will speak about the art and life of Gersch. Bidding will be suspended during this presentation.
The silent auction will be conducted by hospice volunteers. Bidding for each artwork will begin at $100, with incremental increases of $50.
Gersch selected the paintings for this sale as among the best and most representative of his artistic career, which began in the 1960s. His early study at the Art Institute of Chicago focused on ceramics, so the several ceramics exhibited are of unusual interest. In addition, there is a self-portrait drawn on a menu while aboard a 1982 Swissair flight to the Near East, and a fine steel table designed by Gersch and executed by Tryon crafter William Crowell.
To see images of Gersch's work, visit www.guntramgersch.info/memorialexhibition. Email email@example.com for more information.

The Innova Star Mamba is a beginner friendly distance driver that is understable. It was designed to give maximum distance for minimal effort. The Mamba has more high speed turn than any other Innova long range driver. Throwing into a headwind is not recommended. For those with less driving speed, it will add distance. For those with medium speed drives, it will shape long lines for turnovers and straight shots, as well as hyzer flips and even big rolls.
It is a great choice for tailwind shots, turnover shots and an out-of-the-box roller! Highly recommended beginner friendly distance driver.

"This round of negotiations was made more difficult by the sale of RailAmerica to Genesee and Wyoming partway through the process," said UTU Assistant President John Previsich. "The sale introduced a number of new concerns regarding preservation of benefits and pay that weren't present at the start of the negotiations. The team did an excellent job of securing the current benefit levels, while obtaining new provisions that guarantee pay and time off, along with excellent improvements to wages and working conditions."
The tentative agreement and ballots have been mailed to affected members and ballots must be returned no later than April 22, 2013.

Damon sharing baseball knowledge in Thailand
Former all-star hoping to return to Majors after World Baseball Classic
By Evan Drellich / MLB.com | 11/10/12 12:49 PM ET
Damon's three-run blast00:00:47
6/28/12: Johnny Damon puts the Indians out in front, 3-0, with a long ball off Wei-Yin Chen in the top of the second
The ever-cool Johnny Damon is embracing his newest challenge, one he hopes is a precursor to a Major League reprise.
Team Thailand, which has aspirations of making the World Baseball Classic, has brought Damon back to his roots. His mother, Yome, comes from the country, where baseball still has immense room to grow. And Damon is loving it there.
In a text message from Thailand, Damon didn't identify himself as Johnny Damon.
"Thailand Johnny," he wrote.
It might be some time before that catches on.
"Not too many people know about baseball and who I am," said Damon, who's running clinics and making goodwill visits while he trains with the team. "Guys who play baseball and people from the U.S. [know who I am], obviously. But, yeah, it's a different environment. And it's cool to see the Thai people, and see how my mother grew up and how much further we need to help out and try to get fields out here and try to get better equipment for these kids.
"It's a challenge. Playing in the big leagues was a challenge. But I think this is probably going to be a tougher challenge -- trying to get these guys to that next level."
Damon's agent, Scott Boras, reportedly said last week that Damon wasn't sure he wanted to return to pro ball after the World Baseball Classic -- which is still in a qualifier stage. Damon, who turned 39 on Monday, was definitive: He wants to be back in the Majors. And if that doesn't work out, he's happy to go out by helping Team Thailand.
The Indians released Damon in August, after he hit .222 in 224 plate appearances.
"Of course I didn't like the way the season ended this year," Damon said. "I definitely thought I was going to be picked up by somebody. But it didn't happen that way. I didn't want to leave baseball that way. I hope I can still get a job. You have to be honest with yourself and say, 'Well, back home, a team didn't pick me up at the end of the season.'
"If this is the end for me in baseball, I just want to go out on a positive note, spreading the game of baseball. And represent my mom's country ... I feel [she] is a big reason why I've been able to stay fast, strong and durable throughout my career. So I thought it was a great opportunity to help raise awareness of baseball in Thailand, try to help them get on the map -- but also it could be a nice departing present."
Damon thinks it could take 10-20 years for baseball to really thrive in Thailand. Its opponents in the WBC qualifier, a modified double-elimination tournament, are New Zealand, Chinese Taipei and the Philippines. The games will be held in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Thailand's first game in the qualifier is scheduled against the Philippines for 10:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Xinzhuang Stadium. A winner of the qualifier is to be crowned by Nov. 18, and that country would advance to the 16-team World Baseball Classic, which starts in March.
"[Baseball is] really almost non-existent [in Thailand]. Guys play softball more here," Damon said. "This is actually very good timing that I can come out and talk about it. There are some talented guys who may have been equivalent to, [in] the U.S., ... Double-A [players]. There's still some work to do. There's not fields for kids to go and play baseball. I think they are working on building a field closer to Bangkok now that's going to have turf, so that's a start. ... This could be a region that's successful in baseball.
"It's going to take years," he continued. "It took Japan a very long time since Babe Ruth went over there on a goodwill tour. You're looking at 10 years, maybe 20 years, for it to get going [in Thailand], if it gets going."
There are a few Major League clubs Damon hopes will give him a look. He lives in Orlando, Fla., so a team that holds Spring Training in Florida would be ideal.
"I'm hoping there's a couple of teams who may be interested," Damon said. "Tampa Bay -- hopefully we can go down that avenue again, maybe the Marlins, maybe even Houston. ... Maybe Atlanta, you know, I'd like to try to stay somewhat close to home. I'm sure there's a few other teams that I'll consider, but hopefully those are the first teams that may call. If not, I'll continue to [live] my life and carry on the good game of baseball to whatever."
Damon will be best remembered with the Red Sox, and he talked with Boston last season. While the Red Sox fell out of the race early, the club did invite back their 2004 World Series championship team as part of Fenway Park's centennial celebration. Damon, of course, was a key part of that team, and he wanted to be a part of the celebration -- as a player. They couldn't make it work.
The Red Sox needed help in the outfield, and if they came calling this year, Damon would love the chance to come back.
"Yeah, absolutely. I was hoping for it this year, too," Damon said. "I told them I would show up to the eight-year anniversary if I'm a player. They couldn't work around the 40-man roster, so I didn't show. But yeah, yeah, I would love to. I think everybody knows now that it's about wanting to play, wanting to not settle into retirement yet."
Damon thinks Yankees fans could be understanding to that, too, if he went back to Boston.
"I don't think any fans could despise that, because I've given myself opportunity to try to go back to former teams and all that stuff," Damon said. "I don't think it's going to be, 'I can't believe you're going back.' It's water under the bridge now. I gave the Yankees plenty of opportunity to bring me back, so I know their fans can't be too mad."

Pansy Division, one of the first openly gay punk bands in history, commemorates their fifteenth year together with this great collection of their tunes, music videos, and live videos!
The boys have picked out thirty songs- from classics like "Femme in a Black Leather Jacket" and "Homo Christmas" to their newer hits like "No Protection"- culled from their six outof-print Lookout! Records releases as well as their 2003 Alternative Tentacles release Total Entertainment. The included DVD with music videos, TV appearances and live clips (including some from their 1994 opening stint for Green Day), adds to the essentialness of this release!
Pansy Division formed in 1991 as a San Francisco-based, fully outof-the-closet punk band. Their catchy pop hooks and smart, outré lyrics found an enthusiastic audience- both queer and straight- all over the world. It probably isn't too much to say PD's outness and their humorously frank yet sensitive tackling of social and personal issues changed the world a little bit. They play gay pride events constantly, as well as play in other bands like Dirty Power, The Plus Ones, and The Avengers (yes, that Avengers!). This cd/dvd is a tidy summation of PD's groundbreaking career thus far, perfect for the uninitiated or the consummate fan who wants all the hits on one convenient disc.
Now let the debates about what other songs should've been on here commence!
"In the early 1990s, four gay-and- proud fellas infiltrating the notoriously macho punk rock scene was an even greater risk than it is today. But what better way to shake things up than with bold, hilarious lyrics about gay sex and homosexual relationships? San Francisco's Pansy Division became a quintessential "queercore" band, and by sharing the stage with Green Day, the Supersuckers, Mr. T Experience, and the Vandals, they exposed tons of people to a new musical subculture. The Essential presents 31 tracks plucked from the band's six out-of-print Lookout Records LPs, various EPs, compilations, and their recent Alternative Tentacles release.
Pansy Division's earliest material sounds similar to many of their Lookout counterparts-- short, upbeat pop- punk songs with catchy choruses, jangly guitars, pop-friendly backing vocals. In short, fun, three-chord punk at its best, all wrapped in song titles like "Boyfriend Wanted" or "The Cocksucker Club", both from the band's debut, Undressed.
The band's sound slightly evolved over the course of its first few albums. "Deep Water", from 1994's Deflowered, is an adolescent tale of raging hormonal confusion that blends quick acoustic guitar strumming with fuzzy punk rock. The band perfected the style on that album's "Groovy Underwear", a hilarious ode to whitey-tighties. Light-hearted love-and-lust tunes and upbeat tales of homoeroticism make up most of the tracks from Pileup (1995), Wish I'd Taken Pictures (1996), and More Lovin' From Our Oven (1997). Tracks such as "Horny in the Morning", "Dick of Death", and "Luv Luv Luv" are fine examples of how fun pop-punk can be, and "Headbanger" is a cheeky goof on heavy metal, complete with a guitar solo by "Al Shatonia", aka Metallica's Kirk Hammet.
By 1998's Absurd Pop Song Romance, the band's sound revealed a great deal of growth. The songs are slower, a little more complex, and the lyrical content begins to change a bit. "You're Gonna Need Your Friends", for example, is a sad tune about how friends help you through a breakup. On 2003's Total Entertainment! they dropped even more of their earlier humor and began to tackle heavier social issues. "No Protection" is a dance tune about the increasing HIV rate among gay men, and this boy-meets-boy story differs from so many of their earlier songs when our narrator turns down sex when his potential partner refuses to wear a condom.
While the social climate in the U.S. has changed considerably since Pansy Division first started-- despite the crass use of anti-homosexual ballot measures as a tool to mobilize right-wing voters, support for gay rights has increased in the past two decades-- there are still a lot of important things for queercore bands to say, and plenty of people, both straight and gay, for them to shock."- Pitchfork (7.8/10)
"Did you ever listen to Queen or Judas Priest and think to yourself, "Goddamn, this band is so gay" in a completely positive way without all the baggage of the pop culture bigotry that kept these bands in the closet in the first place? Well, Pansy Division is here to save the day. Pansy Division is, however, not a gimmic band. They are a pop-punk band that sings about relationships, sex, and the frustrations and joys therein, just like almost every other pop-punk band on the face of the planet.
The only difference being that these relationships and sexual adventures are with other men. Beyond the impact that this San Francisco based band had on queer involvement in a musical scene too often dominated by macho low forebrows, Pansy Division is just straight up one of the best pop-punk bands to come out of the Bay Area and The Essential Pansy Division documents this perfectly with 31 tracks and a DVD."- Zero Magazine
"Worst Cover of the Month""In the words of a very wise Weasel, 'For a bunch of faggots, Pansy Division sure don't have any balls.' You said it, pal... Wait, these guys are gay?"- Vice

Its history is an interesting research. Early monument record dates back to classical times in Roman and also Celtic societies. Roman monuments commonly informed the stories of brave fights between the departed warrior as well as "barbarians," together with their name and title. Visualized monument record in early Scotland is equally descriptive, typically explaining the occupation of the deceased. We can say thanks to monuments as well as memorials for offering an alternate look into our cumulative historyif they were an artisan, it could have a hammer and wrench. Celtic monument history on the other hand, is one of simplicity, and also does not tell us much regarding their early life. On their gravesites, they just had a cairn, (a stack of rocks) as well as a monolith, an enormous rock. Very little from this determines us about their lives.
When St. Patrick brought Christianity to the Irish, monument history would transform permanently. Then considerable event, great deals of monuments were formed into just what is known as Celtic crosses. Although this sign had its roots in pagan culture, it would certainly come to be entirely re understood and also popularized as a monument thereafter. This is a cross with a circle with the center. In the same way that Patrick made use of the leaves of the three fallen leaves of the shamrock to define the trinity, he could have utilized the Celtic Sun god to define among the characteristics of the Christian God, stood for by the circle via the cross.
As the West came to be significantly Christianized, throughout the Center Ages, monument history and also the record of the churches became increasingly intertwined. Because the Church was the facility of life for the majority of home owner, this was mainly. Several generations of families had members who made their income either in the priesthood, or making the architecture, creating, as well as developing the glass benefit these churches. Some today have in fact been able to utilize monument history to discover their ancestors a millennium earlier. monument record could also be a tool with which to trace intrusions, say by the Normans or the Vikings, as well as the individuals of epic battles too.
Especially after the 18th century, as the contemporary completely dry Irish humor began to establish, monument history reveals there was no compunction concerning being morose. Expressions such as the complying with would eventually be on Irish gravestones throughout their monument record.
In numerous of the early American colonies, a wealth of solid rock such as sandstone, marble, and sedimentary rock could be discovered, therefore assisting the research study of American headstone history. These rocks usually gave the monuments a gray color.
By the 1860s, one more vital growth in monument history had taken place, as igneous rock (rock cooled underground) began to be utilized. This rock showed to be specifically solid as well as irreversible.
In the last century, probably as no other time in monument record, a whole sector has been elevated up around monument expressions. Today these will typically be either knowledgeables from the Holy bible, words of motivation to those left to lead a good life, or words of optimism that the deceased will certainly invest infinity in a better place.

Have you ever been somewhere, a bar or a party, with a friend who got into an argument? As it got more heated, you began to wonder whether it was worth getting punched in the face over the other fellow's argument.
Have you ever been somewhere, a bar or a party, with a friend who got into an argument? As it got more heated, you began to wonder whether it was worth getting punched in the face over the other fellow's argument.
A lot of hunters and sport shooters have been feeling that way since the Newtown, Conn., massacre back in December. Many of us don't really care whether we have access to a military style semi-automatic rifle or a rifle or pistol magazine that holds more than 10 rounds. We just want access to our ordinary hunting and target guns.
On the other hand, most of us feel like we've got something in common with the people who are being called "nuts" because they want to own an "assault rifle" or a pistol that holds more than 10 rounds. And we wonder if the people who want to ban assault rifles and high capacity magazines have any intention of stopping there.
Most of us want to be good citizens and we're susceptible enough to peer pressure that we don't want to be ridiculed as extremists. We want to be reasonable. But we know enough to be highly suspicious of the people who are defining what an extremist is.
For us, it is difficult to know where to come down. Many people feel like we'd be much better off if assault rifles and high capacity magazines didn't provide gun opponents with such easy targets. Since these weapons and magazines are nothing that we really have any use for, it's tempting to give ground to appease.
But appeasement has never been a winning strategy. Often, it's not even a good delaying tactic. For the most part, it merely emboldens opponents who see giving ground as weakness.
There are plenty of good people in the United States who believe owning a hunting gun, a target gun or a gun for self-
defense is fine, but assault rifles and high capacity magazines aren't. They believe citizens are guaranteed the right to own a gun. For the most part, they are people who either don't own a gun or have one but never use it. They have no desire to buy another gun so they don't view any kind of gun ban as a threat.
Those people would be happy to draw the line at banning assault rifles and high capacity magazines. But those aren't the people who are driving the debate and demanding the bans.
The people behind the push to ban assault rifles and high capacity magazines merely view them as the best targets of opportunity. They know that they can make their most forceful arguments against weapons, ammunition and accessories that can be portrayed as extreme. And they don't believe in the Second Amendment.
How do I know this? We've been here before. In the 1930s, it was short-barreled (sawed off) shotguns and sub-machine guns. Banning them didn't solve crime. In the 1960s, it was ordering military surplus bolt-action rifles through the mail. Banning that didn't solve crime. In the 1970s, it was cheap .22-caliber pistols known as "Saturday night specials." Police only wish criminals were still using them. Their virtual disappearance didn't solve crime. In the 1990s, as now, it was assault weapons and even supporters admit that the ban was ineffective in combating crime.
In each case, a ban was proposed on a specific type of weapon that was portrayed as particularly troublesome. In each case, criminals either obtained the banned weapons illegally or found a substitute, sometimes one that was more effective.
The most important thing to understand about political battles is that change happens incrementally. Those who are seeking the assault rifle and high capacity magazine ban understand this. I have no doubt that once assault rifles and high capacity magazines are out of the way, they will move to the next category of weapons. Or perhaps they will seek to confiscate weapons already in circulation.
Because change comes incrementally, I'd just as soon the argument stay over assault weapons and high capacity magazines. When they're talking about that, they're not talking about my shotgun, .22 or deer rifle.
It's a pretty safe bet that if assault rifles and high capacity magazines become unavailable, criminals and mass shooters will find a substitute. If that substitute is a perfectly ordinary sporting gun, such as a pump shotgun, how will gun ban supporters react? I think I know the answer.

A Chelsea woman was arrested by Tecumseh police Nov. 19 on a drunken-driving charge.
According to a report released Tuesday by the Tecumseh Police Department, at 1 a.m. an officer saw a car driven by Sandra Kay Calloway, 53, of Chelsea drifting across the centerline on West Pottawatamie Street and then make a wide turn onto Van Buren Street.
Calloway performed dexterity tests and then was administered a preliminary breath test. Her blood-alcohol level measured 0.33, which is more than four times the legal limit of 0.08. She was taken to ProMedica Herrick Hospital for a blood draw and examination before being transported to the Lenawee County Jail where she was lodged and later released on bond.

I'm not sure if I posted in the appropriate section.. However.. White guys, are you or will you ever be into black guys? I'm black. I'm remember a while ago, I used to be anti-white guys. I felt like I was never going to be attractive to white guys.. I thought they were the most unattractive guys on the planet. HOWEVER, I started attending a math class with 80% white guys. After 3 months of being exposed to so many white guys, on November 14, 2012.. I've officially became attractive to white guys. They're just so many attractive things about their body, and facial features that I've been neglecting to ignore. I don't know if it was the environment I was being exposed to that made me like them, or if it just became naturally because I've kept rejecting them to be my liking. Now I'm dying so badly, just to have one!!
Thoughts, opinions?

Weekend Recap
* Les Miles is an idiot. If you saw the game - not read about it after the fact - his call that resulted in the game-winning LSU TD with :01 second left was one of the worst I've ever seen. If that idiotically risky play - don't confuse the call with boldness, it was pure stupid - doesn't work and the clock runs out - with LSU still having one timeout left - and Miles's team doesn't even get a chance to try a game-winning FG, they'd (rightfully) be calling for his head in Baton Rouge.
Even worse was his "explanation" of the play afterwards. As Mark May said on GameDay Final (and I agree), "He (Miles) totally lost his mind."
Just because LSU made it, doesn't mean it was the right thing to do. And coming on the heals of the 4 consecutive runs right into the line in last weekend's loss to UK, it does raise valid judgement questions.
* Ohio State. First off, I'm still surprised by U-M fans I know who were hoping they'd lose yesterday. I want OSU to win each game...until November 17th. That's the way it should be. What a storyline: OSU playing for a BCS title birth and Michigan playing for the Rose Bowl after rebounding from one of the worst starts in school history. It's storybook.
In terms of yesterday's game, OSU's defense is explosive. And while those hiccups made the game look closer, did anybody really think MSU's O was going to score? (Although, if the MSU player hadn't tried to pick that third consecutive Buckeye turnover up and run, who knows what might have happened from a pure nerves standpoint)
* The SEC. Gosh DAMN is that a brutal, brutal conference. No other is even close. Look at the gauntlet those teams mush run each weekend. There are no breathers. While I have no great love of the SEC, they really are the big losers in the current BCS format. Would OSU (or any other team) go undefeated in that league? Doubtful.
* Notre Dame. Unless those "lucky" unis they wore against USC can block, tackle and score touchdowns (while also bringing 21 year old Joe Montana and some of his alum friends back from the past to play), why the fuck did Charlie have his team wear them? Seriously. Is it just me or does it seem like the Irish have lost about the last 10 times they've worn those things? It was almost embarrassing to see them run onto the field wearing those. Pathetic. They looked more like Halloween costumes than something that would actually inspire. Good god, that team sucks ass. Whew. What stench.
* UCLA. They lose to ND then beat Cal? WTF?!
* South Florida. As the second ranked team in the country, they lost by 3 points on the road to a tough Rutgers team. How much you want to bet they're going to drop waaaaay more in the polls than USC did a couple weeks ago when they lost at home to 41 point 'dog Stanford?
UPDATE: Since I wrote this, the USA TODAY Coaches Poll came out and USF dropped 10 spots.
* Nebraska. Speaking of sucking...wow! This team has gone completely in the toilet following a third consecutive blowout loss, this one to Texas A&M. I use teams, schools and coaches like this as an example to all the Lloyd bashers: we so could have quit after the worst of the worst adversity at the start of the season. But the team and coaching staff didn't...unlike some teams/coaches in Lincoln. What Michigan is accomplishing this year after how the season started is very impressive. But back to the main topic of this bullet point: My god, does Nebraska suck.
* South Carolina's loss to Vandy. Is it just me, or does anybody else never tire of seeing Steve Spurrier lose?
*'Bama crushes Tennessee. This the Vols' third ass whuppin' this season. And with games against South Carolina, Arkansas, UK and a suddenly dangerous Vandy, it could get much worse in Knoxville. Is Phil Fulmer's job in jeopardy?
* Oklahoma. They should drop in the polls after barely surviving against ass-awful ISU. But with the topsy turvy season that is 2007, I think they're going to get a "credit" just for simply winning.
* Notre Dame. I mean they really, really, really suck. They only had about 160 yards of total offense.
* Texas Tech. After getting blown out by Mizzou, good to see them get exposed right on schedule, just as they always do this time of year.
* College Football in General. Suck it, NFL. You got nothing on the game played on Saturday.

Les Miles may have lost his mind - but it's so fun to watch LSU play.
did you hear what else Mark May had to say .... "tOSU will lose to Michigan".... why, couldn't he just think it and not voice it on espn???

This is such a brilliant recap, it makes me wonder why I even bothered to watch TV!
Oh, yeah: It was because I was too lazy to really do anything...
Anyway, I was hoping that MSU would win because by some cruel twist of fate, all of my bosses went to OSU.
I guess I should save my burnt offerings for something like a little kid being trapped in a well, or something.

I hate that USF dropped so much. It's just not right. And some fool on ESPN said that he thought that West Virginia could just sneak into the BCS! USF has a great resume.

Why do you think Les Miles' call was so bad? As of the snap, there were 8 seconds left on the clock. A pass play shouldn't take more than 6 seconds. A completion means you win, and an incomplete pass stops the clock with 2 seconds left to line up and kick a field goal. He doesn't even have to use his last timeout. Seems like the right call to me. The only reason I can think of not to call that play is that you're worried about an interception - to which I say, play to win, not to aviod losing.

Let's take it easy on Miles, even though yes that was an idiotic call. He's our next coach, after all.
Did anyone catch the incredible Gameday recap of the Notre Dame/SC game? They started with a clip of Digger Phelps addressing the crowd at the ND pep rally the night before. He said, "My name is Digger. I'm the undertaker's son. BUT WE AIN'T DEAD YET!" Then they showed USC first touchdown, then replayed Digger screaming "WE AIN'T DEAD YET!" Then the second USC TD..."WE AIN'T DEAD YET!" They did this for every USC score. It was so humiliating that the normally straight-faced mark May was laughing hysterically off camera. Great stuff.

The difference between the Bruins of this weekend and the team that lost to Utah and Notre Dame is the quarterback; against ND they were playing a walk-on due to injuries, and for the Utah game, the moronic Dorrell was playing starter Ben Olson (who is awful) until his injury allowed Cowan to take over.
I believe that Notre Dame has not won in the green uniforms since 1992.

Yost is right--Michigan and the Big Ten needs tOSU to be good. Otherwise, the conference is hurt and the rivalry is diminished.
Two other reasons we want tOSU to be good:
1. It's more satisfying to beat the high ranked team.
2. Bad tOSU + ok Michigan = BTN. I live on the west coast and bars aren't open at 9:00am.
I'm glad ND doesn't play Minnesota. The fabric of the universe might collapse.

it is so hard for me to say that i want osu to win the rest of their games up to the michigan game because i live in ohio, but i think i do want it to happen. pains me to say it

this is for Todd up above:
the UM-OSU game will NEVER be on the big ten network. i guarantee you. don't worry about that.

Just like Miami vs FSU will always be on national TV?
Never underestimate the stupidity of a conference that rolls a network out before setting up distribution. It isn't likely--but I'm a sarcastic bastard.

I was watching LSU-Auburn, and actually sort of rooting for Auburn to upset (why not, it's what all the kids are wearing this season), and I didn't think the call was that stupid. Their kicker suffers from Gingellitis, so why not try for 7 first and use that as a last resort?

Storybook indeed. I think everyone sees it coming, but no one wants to say it.
Now, if we can just get tOSU offense to hold on to the ball.
Here's conference redemption: tOSU plays LSU in the BCS championship game and wins. I don't think what happened last year will ever happen to a Tressel team again.
Michigan plays an SEC team and wins.
That would really screw the debate about conference superiority.
Sorry, I had to give UM second billing, but, well, you know how it is.
I agree with the big dog. The NFL is unwatchable compared to the college game.

re: Les Miles - if you want a risk taker, you have to take all the risks that he takes, not just the ones that make sense to you. Just sayin.......

last time i looked, all of the sec teams had at least one loss - who's to say that they are all great and that their schedule is akin to running a gauntlet? how do we know that they aren't all just average to good? can't tell by their OOC's games - none of them will play anybody, especially on the road, and ESPECIALLY on the road out of the south.
LSU played va tech at home - va tech is 6-1 but lost to the only decent team they played
Florida played nobody
Kentucky played a mediocre Louisville team at home
South Carolina's played nobody
Georgia beat a mediocre Oklahoma St at home
Tennessee ventured out of the south and lost to Cal
Alabama played at a crappy FSU and lost
Auburn hosted S. Florida (lost) and a crappy Kansas State team (won)
Arkansas played nobody
That's it - the ooc schedule of ALL of the big dogs in the SEC was a joke with only one team going on the road out of the south against a decent team(which they lost)
so i ask, how can anyone say that these guys are just amazing and have to suffer by playing one another week in and week out? a conference full of all mediocre teams would also see the same type of dogfights each week too wouldn't it?

I agree on Miles. Why are we rushing to annoint him the next coach? He's a hair's breath from three straight losses...all on questionable, risky calls. A good coach knows when to take a caculated risk...he doesn't just take them *all* and hope for the best.
I know he's a Michigan man, but hasn't this been our mistake in the past...rushing to tap the next Michigan man in line? Inbreeding will dilute even the best gene pools.

P.S. USF was screwed.
People are hilarious with strength of schedule stuff. Whether one team or another is a good win usually solely depends on whether it was on their own team's schedule or their rival's.
This is why we need to settle things on the field.
- October 21, 2007 6:12 PM
- Mikoyan said...
This is the main reason I hate the BCS. The Strength of schedule is just a fancy way of making sure that the big schools keep their share of the pie. They can sugar coat it any way they want but that's the reality.
As for ND...it's about time. After years of piling it on against the service academies, karma is a bitch.

In theory, I thought Les Miles was doing the absolute right thing. Take a shot in the end zone (and it HAS to be in the end zone) and if you don't get it, the pass falls incomplete and you set up for the game winning FG while time expires. His team probably should have executed a little better so as to not use as much time as they did, but I don't see the problem with his call. Yes, he did put his team in a position to pull the same idiotic stunt that Cal pulled last week, but you have to faith in your QB to put the ball in the end zone and either have it caught for the winning score or fall incomplete and try a FG.

Srudoff - you are a tool. Just kidding- I usually enjoy a lot of your posts, so I say this with construction criticism in mind: tOSU lost the offensive franchise last year to graduation/draft and you think you'd get any other result than your game against the only SEC team you played last year if you played an SEC schedule this year? OK, so you probably get by Vandy, Ole Miss, and Miss St with ease. Even so, you guys have only faced 2 teams of even the caliber of those 3 SEC teams I mentioned, and you didn't exactly lay the wood to a team you should have slaughtered on Saturday. Now that my dream sequence of the Cocks in the MNC game is over, here's to hoping we see you in a bowl game.

Okay, Wolverine, carry on.

i watched the LSU finish. itdidn't seem to me to be that much a risk. i thought LSU got a Sparty Bob run on the clock after the TD. the operator could have easily stopped the clock w/ 3 or 4 secs left, but it ran down to 1 anyway. my guess is that if the receiver had dropped it, the clock would have stopped @ 2 or 3 seconds to go. and i'll bet Miles knew that. i'm not saying, i'm just saying, you know?
as for tosu losing? if you live in ohio, it's hard not to cheer for it. they are so one dimensional as a group, and so completely insecure, they really grate on you after 10 or 20 years. despite that, i don't cheer for them to lose, but if it happens? i don't lose any sleep either.
btw- how can you take anyone seriously that would suggest the SEC ain't so great, and inversely try to suggest tosu a comprable schedule? you'd think one humilation in the bcs would be enough. but there's a lot of this self delusion in columbus these days. 60 days ago they were wringing their hands about rebuilding and now they're busy trying to prop up their own cognitive dissonance on being #1.

For the record, I've never lived in Ohio, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn once.

it only counts if it's a Holiday Inn EXPRESS. staying in a plain ole holiday inn (even the vaunted "holidome") doesn't make you any smarter. neither does living in columbus.
which leads to a quasi-personal question- is "whetstone" a reference to whestone park, which is near campus? or do you just like sharpening knives? i always assumed the former, but if you've never lived in ohio, it gave me pause to wonder (it also made me question wonder why'd you be a tosu fans when there are so many other choices that didn't involve praying to satan or pawning your soul but then feared asking that would lead to some long winded story about ancestors from ohio and the passing down of defective genes, so i didn't ask that....).

And App State loses to Georgia Southern, 6-time National Champion powerhouse of 1-AA. They were completely dominated the entire game, our guys just started easing up toward the end and they tried to make a comeback. We beat 'em at their house and snapped their 30 game home winning streak dating back to 02.
Just thought it would make you happier to hear about their misery.
PS...Also, by the transitive property this means we beat Michigan....jk

It's whetSTONEbuck. "Stone!" as in rock solid. Sheesh.
#1 - I should have qualified the Holiday Inn as an "Express." My mistake.
#2 - I do like sharp knives (in fact my eyes get a far-away look and I drool when gazing upon a razor-sharp blade, but I digress), but that is not the reference. Neither is this "Whetstone Park" you speak of.
"(it also made me question wonder why'd you be a tosu fans when there are so many other choices that didn't involve praying to satan or pawning your soul but then feared asking that would lead to some long winded story about ancestors from ohio and the passing down of defective genes, so i didn't ask that....)."
#3 - The praying to Satan, etc. link with OSU fandom was one of the funniest things I've read here in a long time. I'm glad I hadn't taken a drink of banana smoothie. It has a tendency to freeze one's nose hairs on the way out. Banana flavored nose hairs, while a Michigan staple, are not in demand out west.
#4 - Since you disdain the passing down of genetic defects I can't tell you my story: short or long-winded version.
#5 - Since we are on the topic of genetic abnormalities, didn't you say your wife was an OSU fan? So...how are the young'uns?

for the record, my post about the sec had nothing to do with the buckeyes - it was about the media labeling the sec as great when you don't really know because they won't test their top teams against top competition and almost NEVER on the road out of the south.
the buckeye's schedule this year is weak - but we've played texas home and away the last two years, next two years we play usc home and away, then vtech, then miami, then oklahoma. i think one year of a washington (on the road btw) is ok. i have no idea what would happen if we played the sec - same with michigah. south florida beat auburn, who beat florida, etc, etc, etc.

Two. ND is still landing top recruits even when they suck worse than a $5 TJ hooker with no teeth who rides to her glory hole on a rented donkey.
they just landed Michael Floyd from MN, a WR. He's going cuz of the great notre dame education. Yeah right.

First off, this is a great blog. I am an OSU alum and fan, and your blog is always a must read for me. I totally agree, as an OSU fan, that we should be rooting for both teams to be as good as possible leading up to The Game. I still don't know what to think about OSU this year. The defense is as good as I've seen, but they can't make mistakes like they did this week in Happy Valley or Ann Arbor. Keep up the great work on the blog, and may the best team win in November.

@ srudoff..
Sigh.. I guess it was too hard to do a little homework before you typed out that list of conventional misconceptions, huh?
Ohio State beat a below-average Washington team on the road.
Michigan beat an awful ND team at home and got stomped by Oregon and had that other loss I refuse to speak of (also both at home).
Wisconsin beat a bad Wazzou team at home and almost lost to UNLV.
Penn State beat an awful ND team at home.
MSU beat the same awful ND team on the road, and beat a mediocre Pitt team at home.
As far as your SEC assessments, you try to discredit LSU for beating a VT? Or UK for beating preseason Big East favorite Louisville? Laughable.
You also assert that "none of them will play anybody, especially on the road, and ESPECIALLY on the road out of the south", yet you yourself point out that UT played at Cal. You also conveniently forgot to mention that Mississippi State played at West Virginia.
When is the last time a Big Ten team came and played a regular season game in an SEC stadium? I honestly can't remember. I do know that Vanderbilt came up to UM last year.
I can only speak on Georgia's future schedules, but over the next few years we travel to play the likes of Arizona State, Colorado, Louisville, Clemson, and Oregon.

I didn't see the LSU finish, but went online to watch it after everyone called Miles an idiot. 2 things could have resulted on that play that would have made him look like an idiot: a sack, or an interception. He took the sack out of play by having Flynn throw the ball on a quick 5 step drop. They had a receiver in single coverage with no safeties around. But the argument that the clock almost ran out is asinine. The receiver CAUGHT the ball in the endzone with 4 seconds left. If he drops it, they still have 4 seconds to try the field goal. They were not in danger of having time run out.
An interception, obviously makes him look stupid. But it would have taken an unbelievable defensive play to make a pick there, trying to defend on an island.
To me, if you want to talk about idiots, how does Tuberville get a pass?? Well over 3 minutes left, and you have timeouts, and squib kick?????? You give them the ball on the 42 yard line?? How about making them work for it just a little bit.
Tommy is the one that should be getting torched, not Les, and I cannot fathom how anyone could see it any differently.

expect-lite is an quick and easy command line automation tool. Written in expect, it is designed to directly map an interactive terminal session into an automation script. expect-lite scripts use special character(s) at the beginning of each line to indicate the action. Basic expect-lite scripts can be created by simply cutting and pasting text from a terminal window into a script, and adding '>' '<' characters. No knowledge of expect is required. Expect-lite is targeted at the verification testing environment, and will produce a Pass/Fail result at the end of the script. However, its use is not limited to this environment. It includes a powerful debugger with breakpoints, step/skip, and the ability to copy/paste expect-lite lines right into a running script.
Wenity is a multi-platform Zenity clone that helps (shell) script writers to interact with their users through various types of GUI dialogs.

Equity joins forces with sister unions at EIF Discussion
In Autumn of 2012 an approach was made to Equity in Scotland by Terry Brotherstone of the University and College Union Scotland (UCU) suggesting a cross-union interaction with the Edinburgh International Festival (EIF). A meeting was arranged to discuss what approach might be taken. Then representatives from UCU, Equity's East of Scotland branch, NUJ and the Edinburgh Trades Union Council met with the EIF's Artistic Director Jonathan Mills.
Open to the idea of dialogue from all sides, the EIF were keen to include the trade union movement as an active contributor in the festival. Due to the length of time needed to arrange these collaborations, it was agreed that the involvement for 2013 would be a sponsored talk.
The expansion of involvement or otherwise in 2014, the final year of Jonathan Mills' tenure, could then be determined by the success and outcomes of this talk.
The event on August 12th is 'Interfaces: Making Sense of the New Unrest' a talk by broadcaster and author Paul Mason (Newsnight) on the uses of new technology within mass global political movements, with particular reference to the 'Arab Spring'.
For suggestions as to how Equity could contribute significantly to an EIF event in 2014, please contact Pab Roberts, Chair of the East of Scotland General Branch:
Tickets £6.00 (these can be purchased at half-price, £3, by contacting Pab Roberts - see above for e-mail link).

Scozzafava has screwed every RINO in the coun -- we can say that she's guilty of widespread bestiality. She has screwed every RINO in the country. Everyone can see just see how phony and dangerous they are. You know, 2010 might be a nightmare for PETA. Two animals may become extinct; RINOs and Blue Dog Democrats. Pelosi's gonna kill off the Blue Dogs, and the conservatives are gonna finally get rid of RINOs. The American people have had enough.Audio at the link. I'd embed, but the photo used there (Media Matters) is of the old (fat) Rush, and I don't want to display that here.
So are you shocked at Rush's crude humor, or do you think that's a level of sexual humor that you hear all the time coming from, say, Chris Rock or Bill Maher, and aimed at conservatives? It's a twist that you've got a woman in the masculine role, but that's good feminism. Meanwhile, Owens's defense is retrograde. Not only did Scozzafava withdraw from a tough fight, she sought refuge in the arms of her former opponent, who now absorbs her and enfolds her in protection. That's not progress for feminism. Why doesn't Scozzafava stand up for herself and — as they say — punch back twice as hard?
But, feminism aside, what is Owens really saying "exemplifies exactly what's wrong with Hoffman and his right wing backers"? Is it that they make sex-themed wisecracks? I think he's referring to the fact that real conservatives are actually conservative. They don't like RINOs and they want to discredit them, and they are exulting over Scozzafava's endorsement of the Democrat because it demonstrates clearly that RINOs are not really Republicans. Conservatives want the GOP to be conservative. That's "exactly what is wrong" from the point of view of a Democrat like Owens, because he would have preferred to compete with a liberal Republican. Presumably, he knows it's easier for a Democrat to argue that he is the better liberal than to pit liberal values against conservative values. That is what he admitted, isn't it?
UPDATE: Rush, on his show today:
[W]hat's happened now is that Owens has come out and issued a statement defending Dede Scozzafava against this outrageous personal attack launched by me. Now, Dede Scozzafava is a liberal woman. I thought she could take care of herself. Why do these wimp liberal guys have to come out and start defending these women? What happened to feminism in this country? I mean, why did she quit in the first place? That's not what feminism taught women to do.

If you feel like killing some aliens today and jump into XCOM: Enemy Unknown, you will be greeted with a brief download bearing a free gift. Publisher 2K Games has released the second DLC pack for the game entitled Second Wave.
The DLC adds 16 new options to add a little spice to an already entertaining game. But the kicker is that the DLC options--available through the Second Wave tab in the difficulty screen--don't show up until you have beaten the game once, and beating the game on greater difficulty opens more options. The new options include:
- Damage Roulette: Weapons have a wider range of damage.
- New Economy: Randomized council member funding.
- Not Created Equally: Rookies will have random starting stats.
- Hidden Potential: As a soldier is promoted, stats increase randomly.
- Red Fog: Combat wounds will degrade the soldier's mission stats.
- Absolutely Critical: A flanking shot guarantees a critical hit.
- The Greater Good: Psionics can only be learned from interrogating a psionic alien.
- Marathon: The game takes considerably longer to complete.
