Tip O' the Hat to our Readers
Yet while I imagine some readers shook their head just seeing such a hot button issue raised here (and a few who disagreed with my opinion on the topic said as much) much to my surprise - and excitement - it sparked some fascinating, passionate, thoughtful and intelligent debate. Over 100 comments worth! (Hell, usually it takes an ESPN radio host to steal one of our bits to generate that kind of interest.) In fact, I found the back and forth in the comments to be more respectful, enlightening and balanced than many of the so-called talk shows that tackle such subjects daily via angry shout fests dishonestly labeled as "debate."
Sure, we had a couple doses of Hannity & Colmes-style back and forth (which is to be expected), but most of the discourse was very civil. If I may get on my cyber soapbox again for a second, one of the things that frustrates me most about politics and discussion of such controversial issues today is that the "debate" is no longer about the issues, it's about the people arguing the issues. What "side" they're on. Democrats think all Republicans are evil, Republicans think all Democrats are worse. And what gets lost in the middle is the fact that two people, who may have diametrically opposed views on something, can have them without being a racist, anti-American, asshole, idiot, fascist or any of the other labels that are now thrown out to stifle debate instead of facilitating it.
Men of good conscience can no longer simply disagree. It's all personal now.
Sadly, I've come to believe that politics and has begun to mirror a heated college football rivalry. An Auburn fan seeing someone in an Alabama shirt and immediately disliking him (or vice versa) is one thing in sports culture. But when the same dislike between folks of different political stripes prevents thoughtful examination of opposing viewpoints, that's harmful to society.
Look, I'm by no means ditching the beer bongs, babes and Buck bashing. That's still the mission statement of this site and will continue to be so. But it is nice to know we can venture off topic every now and then, talk about some of the more important, controversial or pressing things going on in the world, then circle back to the fun and the funny. Rather than diminish this site, I sincerely hope it adds something that gives it a unique twist not found on other sports blogs (and it sure helps fill space in the off-season!).
Will we lose some folks as a result? Most likely. But that's the beauty of not taking advertising here (and believe or not, we get inquiries all the time) - ultimately, it's not about the number of visitors, but the enjoyment and stimulation of those who do come - as well as that of your humble blogger. This blog is a hobby, not an attempt to find a new career.
As always, thanks for reading.

It is good to see that we are all fundamentally intelligent people. Most of us are either in school currently or have jobs where they can take great tolls on our lives. Whether through stress levels or amount of brain capacity required etc. Most of us gravitated here as sort of a place to escape from everyday life and mix with others who may share our views. It brings us closer together when we have debates and find that many of us are just like ourselves and that we'd probably all really get along in the "real world."
That being said who's going to the spring game in April? Thinking about heading over there for it as long as weather's ok and maybe say hello to a few people from here.

Yost, your site rocks. I love heated debates. Heck, I'll even argue against what I really believe just for the fun of the debate.
It was killing me this weekend as I was stuck at work for 30 plus hours while our company was bought by another. I could read the post, but the comments were blocked by our companies version of net nanny. As the count blew past 50, I knew I was missing some really cool debate.
As you said, this group is a pretty respectful bunch. This isn't the only time they have debated stuff and kept it civil. That's impressive nowadays.

It's funny that you say that, Tom C. There are few people on mgoblog I wouldn't mind getting a prescription of Risperdal for if we met.
The people here are much cooler and nicer. What made the debate so interesting is that we are only united by our affinity for Michigan football, of all things. It is not so likely that we would all hold similar political opinions, unlike groups of people who frequent political blogs e.g. LGF, Huffington Post, or Daily Kos. Also, on those political blogs dissent is bound to be met by accusations and labels such as moonbat, neocon, fascist, commie, or Cincinnati bowtie. Okay that last one was unnecessary but you get the idea.
I think that it also helps that we've grown comfortable around one another. How funny is it that CFB can do such a thing? Then again, it is a religion.

Well I used to live in cincinnati, and since I'm not sure about the Bowtie I just figured it was something better left alone. At first I though it might be a jab at cinci and it's notorious conservativeness (is that even a word? I'm running on 2 hours of sleep.) then i decided it sounded too much like a Cleveland Steamer to take my chances with.
I'm now deathly curious to find out how many people googled it and came up with a 2 Girls One Cup reaction.
That having been said, I'm totally gonna have to google it when I get home. I've never been good with the whole will power/curiousity thing.
And Blue- check out my rant over at GoBlog. Classic piece of literature, that one. It's at the end of yesterday's comment section. I guess the rule on that would be don't give me asinine things to deal with at work when I'm tired and grumpy.

i just ran "cincinnati bowtie" through the urban dictionary--holy jebus. thanks for the heads-up, blue.
I don't know if anyone else has suggested this yet, but pot luck friday should include a best word verification contest. So many here (myself included) like to make witticisms out of word verifications--why not take four or five a week and have the community vote on the best one? How about it, Yost?
I'll start it off:
poqrb = poke her rib
"Poke her rib? I didn't have to after the Cincinnati bowtie I just gave her."
Oh well--they can't all be winners.

Perhaps the "best" part of the "bowtie" definition was the explanation that it was named after Cinci because "they do everything backwards" in Cinci.

Ok, don't know if this'll post WAY LONG), but couldn't get the link to work so I copy/pasted. Definitely worth the read. If it's true I'm gonna pee my pants with giddiness.
If you choose to read it I'll see you on Friday- you might be done by then.
Hello UM fans
Now that recruiting is over we can not concentrate on existing team.
Team is 2 weeks into off-season workouts. Keep in mind that in the past
3 years workouts until the 2nd week of February were basically
voluntary---this team is light years ahead in terms of conditioning.
Some random observations:
1) Are the workouts tougher than in past years? I have been to 2
workouts-one on a Tues. and one on a Wed. Monday, Wednesday, and
Fridays are basically lifting days-while Tues. and Thurs. are
conditioning and speed training days. It should be noted that even on
lifting days-the kids run. The overall workouts are longer, more
intense, more organized, (there is constant monitoring of every drill
and every player)--. The workouts are structured to have as much
competition as possible---either you are competing to increase your own
numbers---our your group in which you are assigned are competing against
other groups. Kids understand and are told what expectations are for
that particular workout and almost daily there are new exercises added.
2) The running is what seems to be getting to some kids. It's
almost never ending. And to make sure the kids don't loaf during
running drills-they are placed in groups---(let's say they have to run
20 sets of 40 yd dashes)---each group is assigned a time---and if every
player is not under that time-the whole group does not get credit for
that set. Needless to say---the kids are making sure their teammates
finish within the allotted time.
3) Coaches seem to very sensitive towards the players and the
"newness" or the issues associated with the coaching transition. To
deal with this---position coaches are now meeting individually with each
player every other Friday. During these sessions-coaches review their
development and performance in workouts-but more so discuss any issues
or negative feelings the kids have about new coaches or schemes. They
are bending over backwards to make sure each kid feels they will fit
in---and most importantly have made it clear to every kid that everyone
starts out new. All positions will have open competition---every player
must compete-no matter how experienced the player is---whether he is an
upperclassman. This has really been a positive development for the
kids. They all feel like they will be given a fair shot---and everyone
is required to do the same tough workouts----no slackers.
4) Early ( I stress early) players who have stood out.
Grady. Probably the most intense player on the team right
now. Trying very hard to show coaches he not only can fit in to new
system-but he wants to play more than anyone. He is fully healthy and
has really bought into the new workouts
Boren. The kid is just a monster in terms of willingness
to push himself. Has to be considered one of the leaders of the team.
He has trimmed down noticeably already---(Boren actually started
workouts immediately after bowl game)---and actually enjoys the running
part. Boren is also pushing the other OL's---one of whom is Schilling
who looks to be in great shape.
Ezeh. He just seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
And is quickly becoming the leader of the defense. No doubt he is most
athletic defensive player (for his size)---and has really performed well
in all the new drills. Barring injury---I look for him to have an AA
type yr.
Woolfork---keep your eye on him. Great kid with great
work ethic. Very fast---really standing out in speed drills. Gaining
weight and strength---a kid who most forget about-could make an impact
next yr. Some believe Boo-boo will be our #3 CB---(I think he has a
hard time beating out Woolfork)
R Van Bergen. Don't see him moving to OT any longer.
He really is a work-out warrior---Johnson along with Van Bergen easily
the top DL's in terms of performance on DL's in workouts.
Stonum. Quiet kid-at least around other teammates---and
has shown some great quickness and speed. Right now---is probably the
fastest WR on the team. Runs very smoothly-almost effortlessly---seems
to be making transition to college and Michiganweather nicely.
Zirbel. I bring his name up because at one time-thought
he was a candidate for transferring. And he may eventually do just
that. But last year-Zirbel felt he was not given a fair shot by old
staff. He developed a big attitude toward Moeller and coaches.
Basically quit competing. Well-at least early on-Zirbel seems to have
found a renewed passion for football-and has done quite well in
workouts. No doubt the kid has some talent---he will be one to watch
this spring.
Threet. Have no idea if Threet will be the starting QB
next year. But the kid is going to make it hard for RR or any QB to
beat him out. He has taken a leadership role on this team---very
vocal---works as hard as anyone---is constantly asking WR to stay extra
time to work on passing drills. So far it's hard for him to get any
takers-since kids are pretty worn out after workouts. So Threet is
meeting them on weekends to work out. I know Threet has never played a
down---but UM fans are going to really like this kid and his attitude
and approach. Great kid---I am really pulling for him.
TT To say he has struggled is an understatement. Decided
to stay in school---and he understands it was the right decision. But
these workouts are a huge culture shock to TT-(especially the running).
Overheard him say "practices are going to be crazy---someone is going to
have to pay for all this crazy stuff". For those going to the spring
game-TT is one you will see a big difference in. If he keeps it up---he
is going to be special next yr.
Helmuth. Going to be hard to keep him off the field. He is a
better athlete than people think. He is the leader of his group and
pushes them very hard. I look at him as a potential captain down the
road and a solid FB and contributor on special teams.
Rogers. Another top athlete who seems to enjoy the new
workouts. Question is-what position will he play? If RR is set on
getting best athletes on the field---Rogers is clearly one of them.
Just a matter of him developing football skills---but a very nice kid
-(sleeper from last yrs class)-who will make an impact somewhere for UM
next yr.
Kates----Has Kates left the program? Or has he changed his mind?
Is he OK academically? Don't know-but I do know he is showing up for
workouts (at least he has been to at least 2 that I know of). Stay
tuned on this new development.
Criswell---for those who have received my e-mails-one of my favorite
kids. Unlike some kids from PSL-Criswell has been a model student and
athlete. Contributor on special teams-but is seemingly a man without a
position. He has asked the coaches to let him try DE or OLB this spring
and coaches have agreed as of now. Criswell is really pushing himself
in workouts to get ready.
Molk---the new offense fits him perfectly and looks to be a
candidate for OC. He needs to work on his shotgun snapping---at times
struggled with that aspect of his game last fall. Has been practicing
(bowl practices)-at both OC and OG---I still look for a battle between
Molk and McAvoy as to who will start at OC. Molk has been a great kid
at UM and work ethic has never been an issue.
Stewart---Will he be the next Mundy (ala WVA). He is hoping so.
There was some question as to whether he would put forth the effort if
he did not see himself as a candidate for starting position. But
coaches have told everyone positions are completely open-and Stewart has
been our most physical safety---and of course a huge contributor on
special teams. Coaches have had numerous conversations with
Stewart---encouraging him to put forth max effort and then compete in
spring. So far-he has answered the challenge.
C.Brown. Again, for those who have followed the info in
e-mails-C.Brown has been one who has a tendency to tone down his
intensity if things are not going his way. Coaches have talked to him
about multiple positions in spring-(including running some QB). Brown
-at least early on-has kept up with workouts. C. Brown is another one
(ala Butler)-that coaches seem to be pushing extra hard.
B. Graham. One coach in particular believes UM's defense will be as
good as the progress of Graham and Jamison in the off-season. Unlike
Jamison who is a very quiet kid---Graham is much more vocal. Graham is
being pushed very hard-coaches have drilled in him that he will be one
of the centerpieces of next yrs defense and therefore he needs to start
showing some leadership abilities. It's interesting to note that Graham
was Perry's host---and one of Perry's issues with UM was that the
players seem to have a different version of what defenses were going to
be run vs. his conversations with the coaches. In any event---Graham
seems to be one who complains quite a bit about being sore---but has
been at every workout and is starting to like the progress he sees in
his quickness. Graham is one of the kids who have visible toned down
his weight and expects to play the entire yr at DE. Graham really likes
the way the coaches reach out to the kids and really likes Tall. Shafer
seems to have taken some extra time with both Jamison and Graham.
Some other tidbits:
1) Easiest coach to talk to Hopson. Players say he is always
assessable and will talk to the kids as long as they want about
2) Most hated drill Just the running. Kids say it's never ending and
they are basically running with "rubber legs"---and are constantly sore.
3) What do players like the most?---Behind the scenes they will tell you
they love the way Barwis and staff almost know who top players are---and
are harder on them than the rest. Perfect example-Butler-they seem to
be relentless on the kid. Players say its sends the right
message---NOBODY SKATES ON NEW PROGRAM
5) OL going into spring just has 9 schollie players on the roster.
RR likes to scrimmage quite a bit---likes the #1 O vs. #2 D-and vice
versa. We have a couple walk-ons who can play---(walk-ons work just as
hard as everyone else)---but we are very thin on OL. Despite the low
numbers---RR still will have physical practices.
6) Players favorite day (besides weekends)---easy-it's Wednesday.
The one day workouts are cut back about an hour-and very little running.
7) Patilla---still have not seen him yet
8) Jake Long was workout out with kids the day I was there.
9) Shafer sits in on all defensive position coaches meetings with
individual players. He has watched film on every kid---and believes the
key to next yrs D will be the development of Jamison and Graham at
DE-along with RVB and Patterson. Patterson -he simply has been a
disappointment up to now---has really struggled with new "leg
exercises"---was very underdeveloped in that area. He is a big key in
terms of depth for next yr.
10) Just a personal opinion on this yrs class
Most underrated player
Highest draft pick in this class
Most likely to play next yr
Shaw, T-rob (slot receivers)
McGuffie (RB)---although he is going to be
shocked by the level of comp.
Stonum (WR)
Fitz (LB)
Boo-Boo (CB #4)
Feagin (2-QB system)
Recruit who could be a big surprise in 3 yrs
Rocco Khoury (may be a future OC)
Biggest position need in next yr's class
QB and DE
How many instate kids will get UM offers
At least 8
What I will be watching during spring practices:
1) Overall practice structure and differences in program. How much
more physical will it be?
2) Individual players. Patterson, Mouten, S. Brown, the whole OL,
Webb, and of course Threet are the ones I am most interested to see the
3) RR. Here is my biggest question. Is he accurate when he says
he can adapt the spread offense to personnel? Can his offense be run by
someone like Threet? This is a huge question IMO. There is a part of
me who really wants a dual qB---but wants that dual QB to be a passer
first. If RR is as innovative as he claims---then he could really be
tough to defend or scheme against if his offenses can pass as well as it
can run. With Threet and Cone the only QB's---spring practice will have
to emphasize their strengths. I am sure someone on the roster will take
snaps at QB-whether it is C.Brown or Hemmingway---but cannot see a
scenario that UM goes into 2008 without Threet as its starter. Threet
simply (right now at least) gives UM the best chance to win.

Sounds like you have the killer flu. Take it slow. Don't over do it. It likes to return for a second knock-out punch. Get well.

Whets - "second punch"
Man, you called that. I had the flu a few weeks ago, after about day 5 or 6 I felt well enough to venture into work. By lunchtime I was feeling bad again so I went home and felt even worse by sundown then I did the entire time with the flu. Went to the doc the next morning and she said it was a secondary bacterialogical infection after the flu virus weakened my system. After 3 or 4 more days I was well enough to venture out of bed, but a full week or more to feel like I had any energy.
Disappointed I missed out on vacabulary lessons on here the last couple of days!

"did anyone else notice that John Cooper is being nominated for induction into the college football hall of fame?... seriously?
Yes seriously- otherwise I never would've nominated him.
That post was taken from a forum which someone linked to at MGoBlog last night. Couldn't get the link to work so had to copy and paste. The guy who ppsted it got it second hand and couldn't verify the authenticity, but my feeling on it is that that's an awful ot of detail and work to go into a hoax. If you want to track it down it's on the copmments over there from later last night.

Perhaps my dear ole University of South Carolina nominated Cooper after he helped us to our high water mark* in our football history - 2 straight Outback Bowl victories over tOSU. (*ignoring our 1984 #4 undefeated ranking until losing to Navy)

You just had to bring that up, didn't you? Between you and the knife-wielding Joshua, I'm never going to get out of therapy.
If tOSU goes to another bowl game and loses to an SEC team, I'll begin my search for an adequate rafter.

not to blunt all the joyous reporting of spring's arrival (its 50 in cowtown today & the snow is about half gone- let the flooding begin!), but an actual football note. tosu seems to be worried about our new coach-
Report: Ohio State goes on a mission to counter Michigan coach's new offense
two aspects that seemed interesting to me, first, since the '03 season, tosu has lost 9 games. however, 7 have been to teams that run a spread/non pro style offense. obviously, they've had a hard time defending it generally & R2's arrival has spurred them to go another step up to address the problem.
second, when was the last time any coach any where was worried about the michigan coaching staff's scheme or approach? refreshing to know that after a 10 to 13 year hiatus, coaches are actually concerned w/ what we might do.
ok, back to the buzzards returning to hinckly & other notorious signs of spring...

Another reason why I hate the Google for linking the Bleacher Report in its news search.
In case you don't know, the Bleacher Report is the biggest joke in sports. I have accidentally stumbled across it because it comes up in Google news searches. The articles are always stupid whether pro-UM, anti-UM, or something else. They're all too biased to begin with, but that is not much of a surprised considering that the writers all write like half-witted high schoolers.
Why do I care, though? Because Google links to the BR for news stories when so many blogs out there are written eleventy billion times much better.

i know i had a concern about ME dying of boredom.
true story- Friday night before Michigan-tosu last fall and i'm watching the replay of the 1997 game on BTN. aside from the zone blocking, our offense (formation, play calling, etc.,) was almost identical to our 2007 (2006, 20005, etc.,) offense.
it's a wonder we didn't all fall asleep during games.

feeling blue,
i don't think there's anyone above the age of 12 who reads that site. at least no one who doesn't read it for a laugh, and just a laugh.
it's funny, not because the writing is clever or humorous, but that the articles are outrageous & silly. the one you reference is just laughable- bitter, hate filled WVU fan writing about Joe Pa retiring and PSU hiring R2. you can almost hear the voice of "Ralphie", the kid who wants the BB gun in "A Christmas Story" saying: "then they'll be sorry!"
also liked the op-ed that "ESPN is Evil" because... they belittled Bama's 92000 person attendance of Saban's first spring game but now game day is going to attend FLA's spring game. again, the guy's envy over the WWL saying something "nice" about FLA instead of Bama is on a par w/ 12 year olds (my 14 year old tosu fan is much more mature than most of these writers).
i've spent 18 years living in cowtown and i've heard just about every self serving/deluded interpretation of the world according to the tosu "view point". after you get over the initial shock of how badly fans & fan bases can lie to themselves, you learn to see the humor in it.

Wow, even I am amazed by that RR to Penn State article. I wish my fellow WVU fans would stop obsessing over what happens to RR. Would I rather see him lose than win, absolutely, but chances are he'll eventually be very successful at UM if given enough time. Those type of articles just make us all look stupid and obsessive when most have moved on....blah. Why would anyone leave UM to go coach Penn State anyway??

The cases of a lawyer charged with embezzlement, four teens accused of raping a classmate, two men facing murder charges and a man accused of felony child abuse were continued last week in district courts.
The cases of a lawyer charged with embezzlement, four teens accused of raping a classmate, two men facing murder charges and a man accused of felony child abuse were continued last week in district courts.
In Henderson County Superior Court:
Hendersonville attorney Alexander Veazey III, charged with felony embezzlement of more than $100,000 from a trust he handled, was given another court date of Nov. 12. No date has been set for his trial.
A preliminary investigation by the State Bar found that Veazey mishandled client funds that were deposited into his trust account, according to a consent order of preliminary injunction filed in Wake County on Jan. 31.
Tyler Scott Garren, 17, James Matthew Bishop, 17, Vincent Joseph Curto, 17, and Justin Wesley Ponder, 17, have been accused of raping a classmate, who told police she was in and out of consciousness, at a party in December.
The District Attorney's Office asked for a change of prosecution Aug. 23 since the mother of one of the accused works in the Henderson County Clerk of Court's office. A new prosecutor is set to continue with the case at its next court date of Nov. 12.
Justin Pate, facing a felony count of child abuse after his fianc�'s 5-month-old son was found unresponsive and required advanced life support, will appear in court again Sept. 30.
Eric Cornell Wilson, 43, charged with first-degree murder and felony kidnapping in the death of his ex-girlfriend, Victoria-Jon Baptiste, is scheduled to appear before a Superior Court judge again on Nov. 12.
Hendersonville police charged Wilson in connection with the strangulation death of 27-year-old Baptiste, who was found dead in her 1119 Park St. home on Jan. 12, 2011. An autopsy revealed she was bound and gagged, sexually assaulted and choked to death. Police said her three young children were in the home when authorities discovered her body.
An autopsy report said her hands were bound with a telephone cord that extended from around her neck and back to her hands. The cause of death was listed as asphyxiation caused by strangulation.
Wilson's address, according to court records, was the same as Jon-Baptiste's. The couple had a child together.
Wilson, who was originally charged with second-degree kidnapping and violating a domestic violence restraining order, is being held in the Henderson County jail in lieu of a $250,000 secured bond.
In Transylvania County Superior Court:
The trial for murder suspect Charles O'Shields was postponed until Feb. 27 in Transylvania County.
O'Shields has been charged with first-degree murder in the April 6, 2011 shooting death of Toby Maxwell Mathis, 27, of Lake Toxaway. Mathis was found dead inside the Dollar General store in Rosman from five gunshot wounds.
O'Shields was suspected to have been upset about Mathis' involvement in the death of his son in December 2010. O'Shields' son died after an altercation with Mathis, Transylvania County Sheriff David Mahoney told the Times-News in April 2011. Mathis was charged with felony involuntary manslaughter after 20-year-old Joey Michael O'Shields fell to his death from the back of a pickup truck that Mathis was driving.
According to Mahoney and the N.C. Highway Patrol, Joey O'Shields climbed up on Mathis' truck during a dispute with Mathis, who was dating Joey O'Shields' former girlfriend — a passenger in the truck.
The involuntary manslaughter charge against Mathis was pending in the courts at the time of his death.
O'Shields turned himself in after a week-long manhunt in April 2011.

Mercy Clinic has opened a permanent location, called Mercy Clinic at OC, on the Oklahoma Christian University campus.
"We remember what it's like to live on campus," said Mercy Clinic at OC Medical Director Dr. Melinda Cail (OC alumna and daughter of Dr. James Cail, beloved retired Oklahoma Christian University psychology professor who taught for more than 30 years at OC). "Students have enough to worry about, so we want to make health care as simple as it can be – and part of that is geography. We want to bring health care within walking distance for these students."
Kendall Phillips, certified physician assistant, will be the primary provider for the clinic. The clinic will provide a convenient location for students to receive services such as sutures, flu shots, sports physicals, breathing treatments and general primary care for everyday conditions.
"We are thrilled to partner with Mercy to serve our students," said John deSteiguer, president of Oklahoma Christian University. "Since OC is highly residential with 80 percent of our undergraduates living on campus, it is important that our students have convenient access to high-quality health care. We're excited to have one of our outstanding alumni physicians, Dr. Melinda Cail, coming home to OC to direct the clinic."
The clinic will partner closely with nearby Mercy Clinic Edmond Memorial, located at 1919 E. Memorial Rd., where students will be referred for x-rays and additional tests and treatments.
Mercy Clinic at OC is located at 2801 E. Memorial Rd., Suite 140. Appointments can be made by calling (405) 425-6100. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
In December, Mercy gave $10,000 toward the $100,000 Rebecca Stafford Endowed Scholarship for Nursing. Graduates of OC's nursing program, fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, frequently exceed the state and national averages on the National Council Licensure Examination. They earned a 92 percent pass rate in 2012.
Mercy is the sixth largest Catholic health care system in the U.S. and serves more than 3 million people annually. Mercy includes 31 hospitals, nearly 300 outpatient facilities, 38,000 co-workers and 1,700 integrated physicians in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Mercy also has outreach ministries in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. For more about Mercy, visit www.mercy.net.
Mercy Clinic is a physician-governed group of medical providers across the four states Mercy serves. In Oklahoma, Mercy Clinic has nearly 300 providers and 64 clinics statewide. With access to Mercy's facilities, electronic health records, telemedicine and each other, Mercy Clinic providers can give their patients the best care available, regardless of the patient's location. Patients of Mercy Clinic providers can connect to their own health records and health teams anywhere they connect to the Internet. For more information, visit www.mymercy.net.

"This is a gigantic step in public transportation for Broward County. This project will move our county into the next dimension of convenient, accessible and desirable commuter services. It also brings with it amazing economic development opportunities, which will empower us to expand and move forward in a new and bold way," said Broward County Mayor Kristin Jacobs.
Initially, "The Wave" will travel a 1.4-mile loop around inner downtown Fort Lauderdale. The next step, dependent on federal financing, will expand the route to 2.7 miles, encompassing Sistrunk Boulevard to the north and 17th Street to the south. A $50-million Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) grant has been requested to complete the entire 2.7-mile system.
The total cost for building the 2.7-mile "Wave" is approximately $143 million and will come from federal, state and local sources. Funding partners to build the transportation system include the city of Fort Lauderdale, the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Fort Lauderdale Downtown Development Authority, the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority in coordination with FTA and the Florida Department of Transportation.

This final rule revises an existing regulatory exception to the requirement to install a PTC system for track segments carrying freight only that present a de minimis safety risk. The final rule also adds a new exception for PTC-unequipped freight trains associated with certain freight yard operations to operate within PTC systems. Additionally, the rule revises the existing regulations related to en route failures of a PTC system, adds new provisions related to other failures of a PTC system and amends the regulations on applications for approval of certain modifications of signal and train control systems.
Finally, this final rule makes technical amendments to FRA's other signal and train control regulations and FRA's regulations governing highway-rail grade crossing warning systems.
The rule is a result of April 2011 petition by the Association of American Railroads (AAR) requesting that FRA initiate a rulemaking to expand the de minimis exception and otherwise amend the rules concerning the limited operations exception, en route failures of trains operating within PTC systems and the discontinuance of signal systems once PTC systems are installed. AAR also requested that FRA develop a new exception that would allow unequipped trains associated with certain yard operations to operate within PTC systems.
Full text of the final rule is available at the Federal Register website.

Like a squadron of determined superheroes soaring to the rescue, four women leaned forward in a row, midair, their bodies parallel to the floor, arms locked to their sides. They were flying -- bold, powerful, on top of the world.
And on top of their partners' feet, which may not be the way superheroes do it, unless of course they're taking an AcroYoga class.
"This is as much an exercise in trust as anything else," says Teresa Kabba, 25, of Santa Rosa, with a breathless grin, as she dismounted off the sturdy hands and feet of Valerie Acton, of Berkeley. The women were part of instructor Ron Avitzur's introductory Acro class on a recent Monday night in an upstairs studio at the Athletic Playground in Emeryville.
AcroYoga is a blended practice of partner-based acrobatics, gymnastics and yoga with a focus on balance, concentration -- and definitely trust.
"You have to know your base (the person holding you up) isn't going to drop you," Avitzur says.
This variation on the yoga theme, developed in Berkeley by instructors Jason Nemer and Jenny Sauer-Klein, has been around for about a decade, but it has been getting more attention of late as students have caught on to its benefits. It has spread throughout the Bay Area and around the globe, in studios with thick cushioned mats and mirrored walls as well as in the middle of community parks -- San Francisco's Dolores Park is a popular site -- where practitioners gather to "go upside down" and "fly," in the fashion of little kids on their parents' arms.
Yoga in general continues to evolve from its ancient traditional roots with new forms emerging every day, adding blends and crossovers and new techniques, "from silent meditation to hot-and-sweaty strength building" styles, Avitzur says. Even within Acro, students can work their way up to highly acrobatic poses like something out of Cirque du Soleil or incorporate Thai massage for therapeutic effects.
For the most part, AcroYoga involves at least two people, a base (the person on the ground) and a flier (the person being held aloft in a wide range of poses). Ideally, a spotter is close at hand.
Some of the poses are jaw-dropping, yet a first attempt is not necessarily as hard as it looks. While fitness helps, no experience in gymnastics or acrobatics is required.
"It's all based on precise body alignment, not strength," Avitzur says. "At first, it might seem difficult if you're off alignment, because you tend to muscle through. But as you refine your practice, you're using less and less energy, you're using the momentum to lift your partner up, and it becomes almost effortless, like walking. That's when it becomes restful and therapeutic."
This highly physical connection -- often with partners who start out as total strangers in a class but end up as friends -- is what draws many people to the style. Such was the case for Ariel Mihic, who teaches AcroYoga at the Sports Basement in San Francisco and with the BayAcro program.
"It's built on partnership, on communication and trust -- it takes a lot of trust to balance on somebody's feet," says Mihic, who has been involved with Acro for about six years. "To me, it's the community aspect that's important. With many traditional yoga styles, it's about the mental aspects, the presence, the meditation, often in classes where people come in and go out without even saying hello to each other. And that's great if that's what you're looking for.
"For me, when I saw people doing Acro and being upside down and talking and laughing, I knew that's what I wanted," Mihic says. "It's like being a kid, trying new things, playing in the park. You're having so much fun, you don't even realize you're getting one of the best core workouts possible."
Medha Garg, 29, of Oakland, has been taking Acro classes for about a year, and was one of the more advanced students in Avitzur's intro class last week.
"Growing up, my family would practice yoga together, but more traditional styles with a more breathing type of focus. (Acro) is more like dance but on the emotional and spiritual level," Garg says.
"As a culture, I think we value spoken communication," she adds. "With this, your body is speaking to your partner's body, getting the alignment and balance in harmony together. It's not something you can talk about out loud. You have to feel it."
Last week's class at Athletic Playground started with students in a circle doing fairly traditional sun salutations, then moving into modified downward dogs and baby cobras in which partners used each other's bodies to lean and balance and stretch. And get to know each other.
"Be sure to introduce yourself if you haven't already," Avitzur instructed. "That's part of Acro, knowing you're supporting your partner and you feel supported."
After about 15 minutes of warm-ups, the group began some Acro exercises. They started with tightening drills -- one person on the floor, feet in the air, and the other leaning her collar bone area against her partner's feet while keeping her body flat and firm.
"You want to be able to hold your body like a statue," Avitzur says. "It's much easier to balance a stick than a wet noodle. You don't want your body to hinge while you're up in the air."
Soon, the group moved up to "the bird" pose -- a la flying superheroes -- with the bases' feet on the fliers' hip bones, lifting them into the air. Later, they practiced "the throne" in which the flier literally sits on the base's heels.
"Just lean back and relax, like you're really sitting in a chair, ready to order a drink or watch a movie," Avitzur jokes.
The hourlong class finished with a cool down, also using partners to sway each other's legs and match each other's slowed breathing. "The best thing is, you don't need a gym membership to do Acro," Avitzur says. "Anywhere you have friends, you can do it."

Bob Hinkle sat in a New York City cafe, across from the Lambs Theatre, with friends and waited for the typically unfriendly critics to release reviews of Harry Chapin's newest project, "Cotton Patch Gospel."
This night of waiting occurred four months after Chapin's much-too-early death on July 16, 1981, and Hinkle still remembers the anxious moments sitting with Chapin's brother, Tom, and others.
"I think it's probably the best review Harry ever received from the New York critics because they were usually not Harry's friend," said Hinkle, Chapin's former manager who now lives in Black Mountain and owns the White Horse Black Mountain performance and event center.
Hinkle will make sure he sees the musical at the Flat Rock Playhouse Downtown and will remember his friend Chapin, who is most known for his hits "Cat's in the Cradle," "Taxi" and "WOLD."
Chapin wrote the music and lyrics for the show, which was adapted from Clarence Jones' book and is a retelling of the Gospel using bluegrass music. The story is set in Georgia in the 20th century.
"I've always loved it and thought the mixture of Harry and Clarence Jordan's story was a great mixture," Hinkle said.
Hinkle worked as Chapin's manager for the final five years of his life, overseeing a busy touring schedule and an arduous humanitarian life. Chapin fought to end worldwide hunger and posthumously earned the Congressional Gold Medal.
Chapin was stubborn and one-of-a-kind, Hinkle said.
"He was a powerful character," he said. "Trying to manage Harry was like trying to hold the tail of a tornado. He was almost always ahead of you. You were either cleaning up of him or being told to be ahead of him and you weren't."
Taking on the challenge of writing songs for "Cotton Patch Gospel" wasn't an unusual task for Chapin, who quickly moved from project to project.
"I think it just tickled his fancy, basically. He was all for breaking molds and doing things differently and making sense of the world in a different way," Hinkle said.
"It got his attention right away because he was telling an old story in a new way. He was bringing an old story to a new audience."
It's a story that has been told before and in many incarnations.
This one is different because of the music that tells the story, as Chapin's folk and bluegrass is the story's catalyst.
"The Gospels have been written into pop-style musicals several times. In some cases the songs are perfect for the moments they describe and some songs are real misses," said Chris Blisset, music director for the Playhouse Downtown production. "I'm shocked by the number of times these songs are perfect for what they are trying to accomplish. I'm a pretty critical listener and surprised how often I agree with the choices they made, it's a high statistic."
When Blisset, who plays several roles in the program and plays several instruments, became associated with the story, he downloaded the songs and spent hours walking the streets of New York City listening. It didn't take long for the songs to become memorable.
"I noticed right away how toe-tapping and catchy the music was," he said.
"I could remember choruses for the songs after first listen. That told me that when they were looking for someone to write this music, they got the right guy.
"You can write a good lyric and good melody, but that doesn't make it catchy. These are the kinds of songs you will whistle without knowing it."
The show won't just be a hit with bluegrass fans, Blisset said. The songs move from pop-folk to bluegrass to more standard musical theater fare.
"I think anyone who has enjoyed popular music in the last 50 years is likely to find something they like in this music," Blisset said.

The ideas of equality are moving forward, but it is hard to overcome both deep seated bias against certain behaviors as well as well ingrained religious ideas and practices.
Just brought up gay rights and equality. I'm liking the ideas in this speech. I'm hoping we as a nation can translate these into action.
I'm wondering why you bother having an inauguration at all for a re-elected President. It's not as if anything much is changing.
I've been watching. Where are the naked men?
Another inauguration. But he has my best wishes -- and should listen to Schumer.
the money wasted today could cover half our national debt
In Obama's inaugural speech today, he said:
"Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law."
Absolutely amazing to this old fart who suffered thru the 50s and 60's as a "criminal", and "mentally ill".
Gotta continue the hate. Not even sure I get this one.
I'm getting one after another on my Facebook page. None of them seem to make sense. But maybe I'm too liberal to appreciate the intricate humor. Or to find anything funny, really.

So yes, you really have no ground to stand on to accuse Obama of not doing "enough" for us. He is doing all that he could do in the current political environment. The list is huge, and if you think that's not enough, how did you feel during Bush?

Local artist Steve Duprey has recently been chosen as Featured Artist of the Month (for January) at the online art supply outlet Blick Art Materials.
Blick Art Materials is the largest and oldest provider of art supplies in the United States. The international site features a new artist's work each month.
Duprey has been painting in his head for well over 30 years but is relatively new to the world of brush on canvas. He started on Christmas of 2010 when his wife Cindy gave him all the supplies he needed to begin. It's been quite an adventure since then. He paints quickly and several times a week. People have compared his rapid painting style to that of television's Bob Ross. He posts his speed paintings on YouTube.
Duprey has found that landscapes, specifically trees, are his thing and, after only a year of the art show circuit, has been dubbed "The Tree Guy". His love of that particular form drives most of his work. When not painting, Steve teaches communications at Finger Lakes Community College and directs the Newark High School theatre program. He's also well known in the Geneva area for his directing work with the Geneva Theatre Guild.
He resides in Upstate New York with his wife Cindy and their two children, Kate and Ben.
Duprey is well known in the area for his distinctive paintings of landscapes. For more information on the artist and his artwork, see www.dupreyart.com.

I think when people see this collection, they need to take it for what it is. A collection based totally on Marilyn Monroe. Does it have crazy, out-there colors? No. Is it red-lipstick-heavy? Yes. More neutral eye shadows? Yep. But what I love is that it has just the right amount of sparkle. Dazzleglasses, frosted formulas, red lips, and pale cheeks. It's totally Marilyn.
I actually really like the classic packaging with photos of Marilyn Monroe that aren't typical. I think it's fun and classic.
Sure as far as the products go, there are some hits and misses, as with all collections. I talk about that more in my video about this collection at the bottom of the post. Don't miss it!
Oh, and MAC Nail Lacquer, we can be friends again. ;)

Venice, more than any other European city, has an endlessly seductive charm. For centuries, it was nicknamed La Serenissima, "The Most Serenely Beautiful One"-and for good reason. Along with sampling the sumptuous art treasures of Venice and exploring its back-street wonders, we cruise its lagoon, stopping in fiery Murano for glass, pastel Burano for lace, and murky Torcello for a sense of where Venice was born.

A worldwide switch to a "more European" work schedule, which includes working fewer hours and more vacation time, could prevent as much as half of the expected global temperature rise by 2100, according to the analysis, which used a 2012 study that found shorter work hours could be associated with lower carbon emissions.How about good old unemployment? Can we get some credit for that? Offsets of some kind? Or is everyone supposed to back off?
But I love this suggestion! I made my own list of similar suggestions back in 2010, following on an article that said people ought to give up air-conditioning. I had 6 ideas:
1. Your weight should be at the low end of normal, indicating that you are not overconsuming the products of agriculture.Harsh, but if people really believed in global warming, they'd have gone in this direction long ago.
2. You should not engage in vigorous physical exercise, as this will increase your caloric requirements. You may do simple weight-lifting or calisthenics to keep in shape. Check how many calories per hour are burned and choose a form of exercise that burns as few calories as possible.
3. Free time should be spent sitting or lying still without using electricity. Don't run the television or music playing device. Reading, done by sunlight is the best way to pass free time. After dark, why not have a pleasant conversation with friends or family? Word games or board games should replace sports or video games.
4. Get up at sunrise. Don't waste the natural light. Try never to turn on the electric lights in your house or workplace. Put compact fluorescent bulbs in all your light fixtures. The glow is so ugly that it will reduce the temptation to turn them on.
5. Restrict your use of transportation. Do not assume that walking or biking is less productive of carbon emissions than using a highly efficient small car. Do not go anywhere you don't have to go. When there is no food in the house to make dinner, instead of hopping in the car to go to the grocery store or a restaurant, take it as a cue to fast. As noted above, your weight should be at the low end of normal, and opportunities to reach or stay there should be greeted with a happy spirit.
6. If you have free time, such as a vacation from work, spend it in your home town. Read library books, redo old jigsaw puzzles, meditate, tell stories to your children — the list of activities is endless. Just thinking up more items to put on that list is an activity that could be on the list. Really embrace this new way of life. A deep satisfaction and mental peace can be achieved knowing that you are saving the earth.

NYC large-soda ban: 10 other peeves Mike Bloomberg might want to target
With the soda ban going into effect on March 12, here's Newsday Westchester's list of 10 other peeves he might want to target.
Sandwich board carriers: They're a cheap way to advertise but a nuisance on sidewalks, slowing down pedestrians trying to make the next light.
Doughnuts: Too many of these early-morning treats can pack on the pounds.
Slow walkers: Set a minimum walking speed of 3 mph, eliminating virtually static pedestrians.
Midblock cab hailers: Signaling between intersections frustrates those who hail taxis at crossings, the proper way.
Sharp objects: If they're not safe on planes, they're not safe on New York City's subway and buses, and maybe even streets.
Large coffees: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's ban on large sodas goes into effect this month. How about also banning large caffeine-filled cups of coffee?
Multitasking walkers: If jaywalking is an offense, this should be, too. Pedestrians have a choice: Either stand and text, or look ahead and walk.
Large sandwiches: Limit the popular 12-inch sub to a 6-inch sub to reduce calorie intake from quick lunches.
Cool it on hot dogs: Limit them to one per customer. That would help reduce the intake of calories, cholesterol and maybe other harmful substances.
Ugh, those UGGS: Limit the wearing of these accessories from Down Under. After a winter of salt and snow, they do nothing to lift our spirits -- or help the New York state of mind.
