Down 10, PHS stuns Jackson with rally
For the second time this season, a Powell Panther team seemingly down and out on the scoreboard rallied to earn a victory over the Jackson Broncs. In doing so, the team maintained its hold on a share of first place in the 3A West conference.
"We called a time out and told the kids that we needed to do something different on defense," Panther head coach Mike Heny said, recalling a moment late in the third quarter when his team trailed 32-22. "They went out and played with a little more energy. We got some stops and it just grew from there."

Wednesday morning, Punxsutawney Phil, that world-renowned groundhog meteorologist, was unceremoniously hauled kicking and screaming from his den in the midst of a 50-year blizzard to inform folks that he couldn't see his shadow, couldn't feel his toes and really just wanted to get the heck back to bed and curl up under some warm blankets.
Not coincidentally, this Sunday, my wife will emerge from her burrow in the bedroom, gaze around the corner and realize that she can't see football on the television. She will then concur that, indeed, spring must be close at hand.

ADDED: From the same article:
Before the president took the stage, Madison congressional candidate Mark Pocan, Mayor Paul Soglin, outgoing U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., and U.S. Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin set the tone for the afternoon, encouraging attendees to get out and vote.So there was no pretense at all that this event had anything to do with educating young minds, exploring political ideas. It was unabashedly a get-out-the-vote effort... right down to demanding that the students acquire tickets by going to the campaign website and providing their email addresses and phone numbers (which, from what I've heard, were immediately used to spam the students with pleas for donations).
While at the beginning of his speech Obama took shots at Romney, he mostly stuck to talking about his vision for the country and urged the crowd of young supporters to vote in November.
College aged voters showed up at the polls in historic numbers four years ago to propel Obama into office, and Thursday he again pushed for their support.

Scott was first elected to the House in 2010, winning an open seat after defeating the son of longtime Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.), the former segregationist who held the state's other Senate seat for nearly 50 years until 2003.DeMint's term runs until 2016, but there will be a special election in 2014, so it remains to be seen whether this black Republican from the South can win a state-wide election.
He will become just the seventh African-American to serve in the Senate and the first black senator from the South since the 1880s.
Only three black senators have been voted into office by their constituents: Sen. Edward Brooke (R-Mass.), Sen. Carol Moseley Braun (D-Ill.) and now-President Barack Obama (D-Ill.). The others were elected by their state legislatures (before direct election of U.S. senators began) or appointed.
ADDED: The linked WaPo article identifies Thurmond — "the former segregationist" — as a Republican, but when he was a big-time segregationist, he was a Democrat:
Thurmond represented South Carolina in the United States Senate from 1954 until 2003, at first as a Democrat and, after 1964, as a Republican....
In opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957, he conducted the longest filibuster ever by a lone senator, at 24 hours and 18 minutes in length, nonstop. In the 1960s, he opposed the civil rights legislation of 1964 and 1965 to end segregation and enforce the voting rights of African-American citizens. He always insisted he had never been a racist, but was opposed to excessive federal authority.

Buckstache's are primarily sported by females in Ann Arbor, or they generally fall into the category of "Fat Chick in Draper Jersey." While I question the sanity of the person posting that video on the YouTube, I can always count on you guys for a good laugh(Awesome that the Buckstache has made the Urban Dictionary). Now King on the other hand...doesnt sound like he has left his basement since the Cuban Missile crisis, but that is another post on the M-Zone altogether. If you are looking for the Seventh Layer of Hell, look no further than Mt. Elliott or Mound Street in the Rock City. If that episode happens there, people die and are buried underneath squatter's houses. But I digress....

Come to the Michigan Football forum thinking you might read about UM football, but stay for the strange obsession on all things Ohio State no matter how remote or disconnected to football. Now I know how UM fans felt looking at Ohio State fans during the John Cooper era. You must be looking at another bad season or else you might actually have something to say about UM football. A smattering of Ohio State jokes was amusing but you've moved into the obsession category. Lose focus much?

I'm glad to see that Mo's little sister, Shaniqua Clarett, is getting along nicely with the little suburban white chicks in the Tosu Dorms. Shaniqua was just flipping out because she was feeling the pressure of her "Black History 101" oral exam that was scheduled for the next day.
Good thing that Santonio's little sister, Shanaynay Holmes, was out getting her hair braided during the incident, or there would have been some Reginald Denny style ass-whooping going down.

This is exactly how all Ohio State forums and Web sites obsessed and made fun of Michigan in the nineties when they were getting owned on a yearly basis.
Nothing wrong with the Buckeye bashing and mockery. It's hilarious and totally normal when you cannot beat them at any sport anyone cares about. Plus it's cyclical - as soon as Michigan starts beating OSU again the mustache will be on the other foot, uh, what?
- June 28, 2006 12:14 PM
- Yost said...
I hear you but respectfully disagree. If anybody thinks we wouldn't be putting up these same posts IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER, they're wrong.
Put it this way, even if we were 5-0 against the Bucks the last few years, when some guy wearing his Ohio State best gets caught spanking it in the library, we will put a post up about that. Always.
Anybody who thinks we won't, well, you're reading the wrong blog.

PS I don't seem to recall many Buck fans saying we were "off topic" or "obsessed" when we put up the hot Ohio State chick doing her little strip tease on the webcam. I'm just saying.

The verdict is in: affirmative action is working at our colleges and universities. This is the academic atmosphere that parents envision when they pay huge $$ to send their kids to a major university.
- June 28, 2006 3:54 PM
- Papa Steve said...
Charlie Bauman's Face.....
How you translate that incident into a dig on affirmative action, I will never know. You obviously have some pretty serious bias problems in terms of skin color and such.
Let's look at what happened:
1. Skinny little redneck bitch spits in another girl's face
2. Girl gets upset and goes on a verbal tirade, but restrains herself from kicking the shit of said little redneck bitch (which is more than I can say I would be able to do in the same situation).
3. A bunch of people come down on the African-American girl like she did something wrong, based on her accent and the fact that she's overweight.
Nicely done.
Would you have felt the same way if the girl who got spit on was skinny and had French accent?
What would you do if someone spit on you? Would you say 'awww golly that's okay. I'll just wipe it off and forget about it?' I think not.
In terms of affirmative action, I wouldn't want to send my daughter somewhere that people felt it was okay to spit on them and if it was up to me I would try to implement a program called Redneck Action that helped to exclude ignorant, backwoods, racist, hayseeds from attending all but the worst schools, as they are simply a waste of space in an intellectual/educational setting.

you must be black.

I think Charlie Bauman's face is sore from the white sheet that's been chafing his skin.
As soon as I saw the video I figured the comments were going to devolve into a Real World-like effort to educate one or two bigots in the comments.
- June 28, 2006 6:04 PM
- Papa Steve said...
Actually quite the opposite. I'm a white, blonde haired, green-eyed, corn-fed gringo from Michigan.
I just think it sucks that people can justify a double standard whereby they think an African-American girl should somehow be accepting of being spat on and that it should reflect poorly on Affirmative Action that she doesn't just take it.
It is a much easier case to make that some in-bred white girl who feels the need to spit on people should be the one preclluded from an education.
I went to U of M and had a few friends from the deep south who were very smart, but used a lot of "y'alls" and such when they talked. He and she didn't talk like me and their English is technically incorrect, but it doesn't make them stupid.
- June 28, 2006 6:11 PM
Papa Steve, I must take exception with your attack on the ignorant, backwoods, redneck, hayseeds. We are not all racist. If you don't believe my qualifications to speak on behalf of said group just check out my picture on the latest M Zone Caption Contest.
- June 28, 2006 6:16 PM
Papa Steve, I guess I watched a different video than did. Because in the one here, I didn't actually SEE anybody spit in anybody's face.
I heard one girl SAY it happened but that's it.
I did see the "skinny little redneck bitch" wiping something off her face at the end when she's confronted by the other girl but that's as close to spitting as I actually SAW.
Your comments are almost as ignorant as Charlie's racist remarks in that you think you're so morally superior yet they show a completely different bias just as uncalled for.
- June 28, 2006 7:24 PM
you have just entered the 'M'orality Zone!
damnit - i love this sort of stuff!
- June 28, 2006 7:52 PM
- Charlie Bauman's Sore Face said...
I guess I should have known that any comment that is critical of a non-white person would give a guy like Papa Steve the opportunity to mount the soapbox and prove to the world how evolved, sensitive and open minded he is.
Is that game against Vanderbilt coming up soon?
- June 28, 2006 9:23 PM
All papa steve did was call you out for being the racist dumbass that you are. Only someone like you can take this video, which has no obvious racial overtones to it, and somehow turn it into a bitchfest about affirmative action and an opportunity to bring up racist sterotypes. And all because one of the people involved in the conflict is black. Because, you know, God forbid a person would actually get even slightly upset that somebody else spit in their face.
- June 28, 2006 11:58 PM
I'm sure that the video depicted some white chick lashing out and screaming foul langauage in the faces of a bunch of black chicks, the cries of racism would be rampant. However, the reverse is acceptable.
Glad to see that some college football fans are actually stoneless, self-loathing white apologists that are so paralyzed with political correctness that they can't see straight. Whaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh...
- June 29, 2006 8:16 AM
- Papa Steve said...
Tideintx - I qualified the redneck comment with ignorant and racist..so the folks you refer to aren't included in my comments at all. No offense intended there and as I mentioned I have a lot of friends from the South and backwoods areas elsewhere that classify themselves as rednecks and they are not in the least bit racist. I suspect tide that you aren't of that ilk, so no need to lump yourself in there.
So Anon and Charlie - what? Do you think the girl just got the idea in her head that she was going to go off on this other girl for spitting in her face for absolutely no reason? Can't you see just how biased that makes you? That you can actually watch that video and just automatically come to the opinion that:
1. The black girl is lying
2. The black girl should know her place and simply allow herself to be spit on
3. The white girl couldn't possibly be at fault in that scenario
Suuuuure. I'm the one that is biased and a white apologist. LOL. Your ability to draw that conclusion contrary to all the evidence just shows that you can't see very well through the little holes in your funny white dunce hat with the cross on it.
If you notice in the vid, the white girl doesn't make any attempt to deny spitting on the other girl. It doesn't take a genius to surmise that if she hadn't done so and there was someone twice her size about to kick her ass for it, that she might be saying something like 'I did not', or 'It was an accident'. She just stands there with a shit-eating grin on her face, which to me says it all.
For you to call me politically correct is laughable. I loathe the entire PC movement more than you can possibly know b/c it is a bunch of people trying to make themselves out to be victims of some imagined prejudiced mostly because they are just too wussy to deal with any amount of attrition. Nice try though. I know that you probably need to polarize viewpoints into a simplistic us/them, black v. white, whatever v. whatever so that you can understand things on some level. I'm also sure that to you everyone that points out your racist mentality is somehow a card carrying political correctness Nazi, which allows you to keep your blinders on. If I hate PC people/the PC movement for one thing, it is for giving neanderthals like yourself so much fodder for justifying your ignorance because their 'cause' is ridiculous.
Let's just be clear about something...being against racism isn't politically correct, it is simply intelligent. It isn't an issue of morality, as I don't know any ground upon which you can make a morally defensable argument in favor of it. If you have one, I'm all ears.
Uhm...I didn't start this. You did. You should have 'known that someone would get on a soapbox to prove something about themselves' b/c you were 'critical of a non-white person'? Laughable again. You weren't 'critical of a non-white person', you posted on a public forum that she was stressed out about her 'black history 101' class, you used deragotory cliche names and then took a dig at Affirmative Action'....all b/c someone girl that you don't even know was upset when someone spit in her face. S'cuse me, but that isn't 'being critical of a non-white person' that is slandering all black people and your comments make no bones about indicating that somehow they don't belong in a university environment with white people. Goll darnit, we never shoulda gotten rid-o that segregation. Evr'thang has been so durn bad since they let them uppities inta our schools!
Like it or not, Affirmative Action exists b/c of people like you.
So...by your logic let's look at things another way. Suppose the situation really was reversed and the white girl comes around the corner yelling that the black girl had spit in her face and was throwing a fit in the same manner, but with a French accent. Based on that evidence, where does your tiny little mind go in terms of opinion? That's right, it doesn't go to 'Those French people don't belong in our universities' does it? I'm also guessing that you wouldn't be questioning whether or not the black girl ACTUALLY spit in the French girls face b/c we didn't ACTUALLY see it in the video. I'm guessing you would be ok with believing that it actually occured in that situation. Correct?
I have no interest in proving anything about myself on this board. No one here knows me. No one here will ever meet me or know who I am so there is no benefit in responding to your racist slurs.
I will ALWAYS respond to people the perpetuate racism. I will always call you out, no matter where or how you spread your tiny minded ideas. If you don't want to hear about it, don't slam black people in a public forum, go somehwere like www.kkk.com where people will welcome you with open arms and a fresh, white sheet.

I don't mean to be a negative nancy, but does anyone stop to wonder why the little white person spit upon the large African-American person? And you may say that spitting on someone is never justified, but wouldn't that also be true of death threats?
Besides, you are all missing the point of this post...Tosu is deserving of ridicule at every possible opportunity.
- June 29, 2006 4:59 PM
- Papa Steve said...
Yes if Henne spits on Hart...Henne goes down and before I am accused of being politcally correct and a biased apologist...vice versa.
Realist - I hear you and I have no doubt that there was some bad blood before this specific incident and, as in most cases, both parties were at fault. Regardless of provocation, anyone can understandably be upset at being spit upon, however, please don't misinterpret my comments to indciate that I think the black girl in the situation has much to be proud of either.
Two moronic college freshman making asses of themselves in front of a camera should be just that and nothing more.
- June 29, 2006 5:18 PM
Papa Steve, since I'm the "Anon" who wrote the comment I think you're referring to, let me see if I get this straight:
I ask where you actually SEE anybody spitting in anyone's face, question your version of the event BASED ON WHAT CAN BE PROVEN by the video and how do you respond? By lumping me in with Charlie's racist comments.
Shame on you.
What on earth was even remotely racist in my response to your initial holier-than-thou diatribe? I find Charlie's - or anybody's racist comments -disgusting. Yet your attempt at moral superiority by interpreting the video in a completely different way - though just as out of left field as Charlie's - and being called on it brings forth a condemnation of those who point that out as "racist."
You have no idea what ACTUALLY happened between the "skinny little redneck bitch" and her apparent roommate. I have NO IDEA what happened BASED ON WHAT I SAW - on either side. But neither do you. Anything is just a GUESS.
Yet your reference to the girl as "skinny little redneck bitch" says a lot about you just as Charlie's racist comments say a lot about him. I simply pointed that out.
But obviously, in your own small-mind-which-THINKS-it's-actually-big, that makes me and anybody else who calls your "reasoning" flawed a racist.
Yeah, you're real enlightened.
- June 29, 2006 6:25 PM
Papa Steve, just read your other comment and here we agree: two freshman morons are just that and nothing more.
- June 29, 2006 6:27 PM

Well....technically, because there are several posts by 'anons' you can't 'technically' know who I am referring to in my statements, but it is reasonable to infer from my comments that I am.
That is the same thing I am doing with the video. Technically, I don't see anyone spit on anyone, but I can reasonably infer from what occurs that it took place.
I did actually respond directly to your comments by indicating that I DID look at the video critically and was concluding from the evidence there that the white girl DID actually spit on the other girl and I believe that is supported based on what I saw in the video. It actually looks to me like the white girl set this up and went around the corner to spit on the black girl and had someone waiting with a running camera in order to capture her tirade. This would explain why she has a grin on her face and doesn't make any attempt at denying the claim that she spit on the other girl. That is the conclusion I draw from watching it. I don't think that is a biased interpretation from 'left field' and certainly a more reasonable and substantiated one than that held by Charlie.
Based on that conclusion, I did call her a skinny little redneck bitch, b/c she could spit on someone and smile about it....all race issues aside. I would have done the same had she spit on a white/orange/purple girl and therefore this reverse bias that you want to pin on me is pure fantasy. Any way you slice it, anyone that spits in someone else's face is hardly any bastion of class and intellect. Certainly, she isn't any more deserving of a university education, as Charlie would indicate.
I will actually retract the redneck part of that statement though, as I have no idea as to whether she is or not. The skinny bitch part I am rather sure of and will stand behind it.
To be clear, there is a HUGE difference between looking at the video and making overt racist statements without provocation and responding to those statements and calling the girl in the video
Also, to be clear. I was not responding to or debating what actually happened in the video. I was responding to explicitly racist comments posted on this board that are wrong no matter what you believe happened or didn't happen in the video. If you come on a forum and start backing someone like Charlie up, you should be prepared to share a bed with them.
So, should you be lumped in with Charlie? Probably not and I do apologize if I went overboard in that respect, but I do think you are being pretty spurious if you can watch that video and have any doubt. It is hard to separate all the comments from anons and if some were unfairly attributed to you, my bad.
As for me being 'holier-than-thou' .......whatever. I don't ever remember patting myself on the back or making any attempt at self aggrandizement, so you are off base there as well. Are you saying that anyone that responds to a racist in a public forum is a politically correct, holier-than-thou soap box preacher? You are welcome to that opinion, but I will still respond and call a racist a racist every time and everywhere I see it.
Let me ask you this...are you okay with what Charlie wrote? Do you think that is acceptable? Regardless of what you think about the video segment, do you feel like his comments are appropriate statements to make on a college football board? If it is so far fetched to consider that you might be racist, then why would you show up here and start arguing the semantics of my comments and 'flawed logic' rather than make an indication that you think his comments are racist and get on his case. Seriously, i want to know...what do you think of his statements?
In my opinion, if you close your eyes and hum a nice tune while people spout that sort of crap, then you are complicit and much more a part of the problem than the solution.

I posted the initial comments merely to poke fun at Tosu.
Mo Clarett was administered an oral exam at Tosu in order to raise his GPA - the subject was "Black History" (I'm not making this up, research it). Santonio Holmes was recently arrested for the 2nd time for beating the shit out of his baby's momma (in addition to the disorderly conduct arrest for causing mayhem in Columbus with his drinking buddy Troy Smith in 2003).
I guess I wrongly assumed that most Michigan fans on this blog were knowledgeable and knew of these Tosu incidents (especially since the Holmes incident was only about a week ago) and that they could find humor in someone fabricating that the little sisters of these Tosu bad boys were causing trouble of the same variety (I can't believe I actually have to explain this, how weak).
After it was obvious that you were going to snivel and cry racism, I couldn't help but toss out the "affirmative action" comment to work you into a complete frenzy. My advice: switch to decaf.

If anything's been learned from this, it's that race-baiting anonymous commentors on a football blog that linked to YouTube have an awesome sense of humor and know how to make a joke. Fellow non-racists, take note.

Sorry - I felt that saying "switch to decaf" was nicer than saying something like "get a fucking sense of humor you whimpering, PC, limp-wristed, self-righteous douche bags". But that wouldn't be very sensitive.

Nice try charlie. I know you now want to try to cast your comments as an innocent joke after the fact....and suuuuure your affirmative action comment was simply an attempt at working people who called you out into a frenzy. We all believe you. It hardly accounts for all your comments and cliche names, etc.
You know what you posted. You know what you are. You know what you think. Nuff said.
Sniveling and whimpering are the people who sit on their thumbs and don't say anything when someone like you slurs another race.

You caught me - a guy like you is obviously way too smart to get sucked into a serious debate with a guy who was just being sarcastic...umm, sure…
This whole discussion is the equivalent of you stepping onto your porch day after day and stomping out a burning bag of dog poo – yes, papa steve, you are most certainly saving the entire neighborhood from burning down with your heroic efforts.

I guess that makes you a flaming bag of poop then.

No, you silly MF'er. I'm the kid leaving the bag on the porch and then sneaking around back socializing with your daughter while you are on the front porch stomping on dog shit.
You should spend more time trying to comprehend analogies and and less trying to be a model ACLU member.
- June 30, 2006 4:40 PM
- Papa Steve said...
Ah Charlie. Your word choices once again demonstrate your ability to lower the bar in terms of class and taste. 'M'fer....limp-wristed...douche bag....socialize with your daughter'...
Everything you write serves very well in confirming your rather base mentality. You really are a lot like a monkey in a zoo that isn't good for much except screeching and hurling your own feces beyond the bars of your cage at a world that you can't comprehend on anything but the most simple of terms.
I can just picture you now telling your friends 'Yuk, yuk...thenz I toldz 'em that he was a douche bag (snort...snicker) and that I wuz gonna sneak around t'house and so-see-uh-lize with his dawter after I putz a flaming bag of dog poop awn his porch'.
Clap, clap, clap. I applaud your originality. I can see why you consider yourself to have such a keen mind when you can produce jewels like that. Impressive. Gemnius. You should be very proud. You DO know that a thesaurus isn't a dinosaur?
I'm obviously not the only person on this forum that thought your comments were offensive, so I guess the whole world is just a bunch of PC, holier-than-thou, limp-wristed, douche bag m'fers that are unable to understand you and your complex ways. It must be hard for you. Myself and the others on this board just misinterpreted your racial slurs and I am sure you don't have any race issues at all. How we got the opinion that you were anything but an intelligent and well adjusted person is beyond me. A mystery.
In terms of your analogy, if I say you are the flaming bag of poop, then you ARE the flaming bag of poop. Interesting that in your interpretation of your own analogy that you are a kid, which I have suspected all along. Whether in chronological years or developmental isn't really important.
I'm glad that you think the ACLU is a bad idea too. Tell me exactly why being a model member would be a bad idea?
Keep screeching and hurling your feces Chaz, someday the world might look at the spatters and call it art.
- June 30, 2006 7:33 PM
Hey all you holier-than-thou dumbfucks and MLK wannabes I have a question for you. Maybe someone already asked this-I kind of skipped a good portion of the drivel when papa and charlie started their racial rhetoric bullshit-did anyone stop to think why the "redneck" spit in the "poor persecuted" black chick's face? I watched the video a number of times and I saw nothing that addressed why the spitting occured in the first place. All I saw was the chicks coming around the corner and the portly one screaming incoherently. Typical bleeding heart whitey trying to score points with black friends you don't have: get thrown into the middle of a situation with no background but we do know a white person and a black person are having an altercation. Blame it on whitey first. Black people can do no wrong.
I do admit that the video casts a bad light on the screamer. She looks and sounds like some dumbass dropout the likes of which are common guests on Springer. I have a hard time looking at it objectively because of this. But to just out and say it's whitey's fault because she spit in tubby's face without knowing why she did is stupid.
Believe me, papa, the NAACP isn't going to give you any awards and blacks aren't going to flock to your myspace page to be your friends because of your rhetoric.

Congratulations for coming in under the bar set by charlie. You should be so proud of yourself.
You are even more amusing with your little tirade b/c you couldn't actually even read a little bit of text to be fully informed before your little brain started squirting and farting all over the place. So typical from people of your ilk that you want to worry about who did what in the video tape and whimper about who started it like a little kid fighting with their sibling.
I'm going to guess you get yer newz from that ther TeeVee with an occasional glance at the headlines in USA today which is written at a 3rd grade level for people just like you. Beeg peectersh too!
You should actually read all the posts instead of jumping straight onto the dumbass bandwagon (I know that it goes slow for you and that you have to move your lips a lot, but try it...maybe someday you can get up to completing a whole book and get that GED you have been after).
My comments were directed at Charlie who turned a video of TWO dumbass TOSU freshman into a set of racial slurs and a publicly posted theory that perhaps this is the result of affirmative action and that is what happens when you let blacks into universities with whites. That's what I have a problem with and I hardly think that makes me a bleeding heart.
If you can muster a few brain cells to read the other comments, you would see that I think both girls look like morons and neither one comes off as having much to be proud of..regardless of who spit on who, who started it, who was to blame, whatever. The fact that two people of any color that are of college age actually digress into a situation where they are spitting at each other and doing whatever it is that was done to provoke it (surely the white girl didn't just decide to go spitting on someone, so of course there is some kind of history). Neither of them is oppressed, they are just both idiots.
So I'm going to slow it down for you so you can understand: It doesn't matter to me who actually did what and started what in the video and to argue about it simply puts you at the same 3 year old level as the people in it. Again...I don't think anyone in the video is right..they both suck. However, Charlie felt the need to turn it into a rationale for denegrating blacks and to post for all the world to see exaclty how he feels about black people being in universities. Go ahead and back him up, you are keeping some great company.
Yawn. Yeah, right...I'm trying to get a bunch of black people to come to a MySpace page that I don't have that I didn't post any reference to so I can try to be friends with people I will never contact nor meet. So explain to me exactly how I am 'scoring points' in any way and how I am going to benefit from this personally? Sometimes people just have convictions and stand up for them no matter what. If he is free to post bigoted comments, I am free to respond and always will despite the fact that I have yet to hear from the NAACP about my award and no one thus far has compared me to MLK.
You stick with that Us vs. Them thing you got going out there in Utah and keep it simple so you can get a graps on things. Try not to think too much and for Dog's sake don't ever start reading.
- July 03, 2006 5:12 PM
Great post, Steve. As usual, long winded too. I did go back and read all the posts between your little spat with Charlie and our altercation. You seem to think poorly of the ACLU. Good for you. Most sane thinking people do. Affirmative action has gone the same way as the ACLU.
I still stand behind most of my comments. You seem to think that the longer the post with more "big" words (a damn lot of them misspelled in your case) makes you intellectually superior. I took Charlie's posts for what they were: a sarcastic joke on a blog meant for (the most part) comedic views on various issues. You jumped up onto your soapbox and got slammed for it. Get over yourself.
I could get into the war of who's got more brain cells and degrees from which college but then I'd be lowering myself to your level. I'd just rather not underestimate the person I'm talking to.

Uhm..Utah, I DON'T think the ACLU is a bad idea...I DO think fluffy PC causes are. And no, most sane people don't think the ACLU is a bad idea, just the ones that live in the sticks and aren't well informed. Reading comprehension skills. Get some.
I don't think affirmative action has 'gone' anywhere. As long as people like Charlie exist, it is essential to even the playing field, unless you are naive enough to think racism has been abolished, or you think it is just okay to give a whole race of people the shit end of the stick all the time. Convenient when you are a white male, but sucks for anyone who is not. I love it when people go off on aff. action and act as if some horrible injustice has been done to white people they just can't get a break in this country. Black people (amongst others) are denied jobs, advancement and opportunity every day due to an inherent inherent racism like that in Charlie's comments. This occurs on a much larger scale than affirmative action could ever address. Just imagine Charlie as a hiring manager at a company with three candidates in front of him; white male, black male, black female. You can throw qualifications out the window....you know who is getting that job.
Just b/c one dumbass defended his bigoted comments and you have jumped in to aid him hardly constitutes me being 'slammed' and objecting to those comments doesn't put me on a soapbox. Everyone else on this board found his comments offensive and inappropriate. Read the comments yet again.
If you can't see why Charlie's comments are wrong for a college football board, then I am sorry for you. They go far beyond a simple jab at TOSU and far from being merely a 'sarcastic' joke or a 'comedic viewpoint'. To a white male from (I'm assuming) Utah, it may not mean much, but what if a 12 year old boy is reading that? What does that teach him? Especially if that boy happens to be black? Is that fair that he comes here to check up on his team and he gets slapped in the face and told that he and his kind don't belong in a university? You are lucky you don't live in a society where you are in the minority and the deck is stacked against you (except for that affirmative action thing, of course) from the day you are born, but you should at least be able to open your eyes to those that do. I think Charlie should keep those views to himself, or post them on a board where the topic is affirmative action, politics, white supremacy, the fourth reich, whatever. Please explain to me again just how you justify posting about affirmative action and the curse of black people in white universities on a board dedicated to UM College football?
I can understand why you think 7 paragraphs is long winded. Read my earlier comments....again.
BTW - typos aren't misspellings and the day I start proofreading posts to a college football board is a long way off.

RTD staff spent the past month conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the proposal consistent with the agency's Unsolicited Proposals Policy. The agency plans to accelerate the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the North Metro project.
In January, RTD announced it would release an RFP in October to build North Metro up to 72nd Ave. by refinancing some of the agency's debt, issuing new sales tax bonds and using available local funds. However, given the findings of Graham's proposal, RTD plans to move up the RFP process for the North Metro Line to this summer.
"We're very encouraged by some of the ideas in the proposal, so our goal is to get things moving as soon as possible and see how the market speaks," said RTD General Manager Phil Washington.
The North Metro project is an 18.5-mile electrified commuter rail line that will connect Denver and Adams County by serving Commerce City, Northglenn and Thornton.

Zero Install is a decentralized cross-distribution software installation system. It allows software developers to publish programs directly from their own Web sites, while supporting features familiar from centralized distribution repositories such as shared libraries, automatic updates, and digital signatures. It is intended to complement, rather than replace, the operating system's package management. 0install packages never interfere with those provided by the distribution.
Launch4j is a cross-platform tool for wrapping Java applications distributed as jars in Windows native executables. The executable can be configured to search for a certain JRE version or use a bundled one, and it's possible to set runtime options, like the initial/max heap size. The wrapper also provides better user experience through an application icon, a native pre-JRE splash screen, and a Java download page in case the appropriate JRE cannot be found. The increase in size of the application is small.
INSERT (the Inside Security Rescue Toolkit) aims to be a multi-functional, multi-purpose disaster recovery and network analysis system. It boots from a credit card-sized CD-ROM and is basically a stripped-down version of Knoppix. It features good hardware detection, fluxbox, emelfm, links-hacked, ssh, tcpdump, nmap, chntpwd, and much more. It provides full read-write support for NTFS partitions (using ntfs-3g), and the ClamAV virus scanner (including a fairly recent signature database and a GUI). It provides partition handling with gParted and also has a network boot facility.
UnZip will list, test, or extract files from a ZIP archive, commonly found on DOS and Windows systems. A companion program, Zip, creates ZIP archives; both are part of the Info-ZIP project. Both programs are compatible with archives created by PKWARE's PKZIP or Nico Mak's WinZip, but in many cases the program options or default behaviors differ.
Spacewalk is a Linux and Solaris systems management solution. It allows you to inventory your systems (hardware and software information), install and update software on your systems, collect and distribute your custom software packages into manageable groups, provision (Kickstart) your systems, manage and deploy configuration files to your systems, monitor your systems, provision virtual guests, and start/stop/configure virtual guests.
Gentoo Linux is a versatile and fast Linux distribution for x86, PowerPC, Sparc, and Sparc64 that's geared towards Linux power users. Unlike other distros, it has an advanced package management system called Portage. Portage is a true ports system in the tradition of BSD ports, but is Python-based and sports a number of advanced features including dependencies, fine-grained package management, "fake" (OpenBSD-style) installs, path sandboxing, safe unmerging, system profiles, virtual packages, config file management, and more.
Dialog allows you to present a variety of questions or display messages using dialog boxes from a shell script. Several types of dialog boxes are implemented including: calendar, checklist, file-selection, gauge, info, input, menu, message, radiolist, tailbox, text, time, yes/no.
BitRock InstallBuilder allows you to create easy-to-use multiplatform installers for Linux (x86/PPC/s390/x86_64/Itanium), Windows, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris (x86/Sparc), IRIX, AIX, and HP-UX applications. The generated application installers have a native look-and-feel and no external dependencies, and can be run in GUI, text, and unattended modes. In addition to self-contained installers, the installation tool is also able to generate standalone RPM packages.
AutoRPM is a program that can do any combination of the following: mirror RPMs from an FTP site, keep installed RPMs consistent with an FTP site or local directory and keep installed RPMs in a cluster or network of systems consistent. It is highly flexible and contains a fully command-line driven interactive install mode (for installing RPMs from the queue or for installing RPMs from your system interactively). It also handles recursive dependencies, multiple versions of the same RPM, the same RPM with multiple architectures, and more. It does some of the same tasks as up2date and AutoUpdate.
The Linbox Rescue Server (LRS) is a tool to centralize hard disk images (like Ghost Enterprise Server), file backups, hardware and software inventory (with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X agents), secure software deployment using OpenSSH, and remote access on a single server. It can be managed from any PC through a Web-based administration interface, and disk images can be restored using PXE boot or using a bootable CD or DVD. It supports Ext2/3, ReiserFS, XFS, JFS, and LVM v1/v2.

Jolokia is a fresh way of accessing JMX MBeans remotely. It is different from JSR-160 connectors, as it is an agent based approach that uses JSON over HTTP for its communication. It provides new features for JMX remoting: bulk requests allow for multiple JMX operations with a single remote server roundtrip, there is a fine-grained security mechanism for restricting JMX access on specific JMX operations, JSR-160 proxy mode, and history tracking, to name a few. Jolokia's origins are in jmx4perl. Client bindings in addition to Perl have already been added, and more are planned.
RMP allows remote control over playing your music files on a Linux computer. The music can be controlled via a Web interface, a smart cellphone, iPhone, Blackberry, or through a command line shell interface. If you like the song, you can download it to your phone. It supports next, searching, and volume control.
UniMote server is a universal Android-to-Linux Bluetooth remote controller for multimedia applications. It is fast and stable. It supports easy-to-develop plugins. For now, plugins for controlling these applications are available: XBMC, Clementine, VLC, and file browser. More plugins will be added as soon as the core is stable.

The watch was lovely but not sure on the packaging. Liked the jar style rather than a box but not the pouch that the watch came in.
Sleek, innovative and modern; Bering watches for men and women are the ideal way to make a fashion statement. The watch designs are very often minimalist, using smooth lines and curves to create a memorable style you'll love wearing again and again. Classic designs evoke a vintage vibe with clean faces sporting delicate hands and stripped-back numerals for an elegant finish. Bering's modern pieces use sleek black and metallic accents to create a subtle, glamourous effect to finish a formal outfit. Meanwhile, for those who like a pop of colour, marble-effect faces sport shades of blue and splashes of red for a striking design. Explore the full Bering watch collection to find a timepiece that flatters your personal style.

TRANSFLO, an affiliate of CSX, relocated its bulk commodity transfer facility from Beacon Park Yard in Boston as part of the historic agreement between the commonwealth and CSX to strengthen Massachusetts' commuter rail and freight network.
"We reached a major milestone in freight and commuter rail service in finalizing the agreement between the commonwealth and CSX," said Lt. Gov. Murray. "By strategically planning the relocation of the TRANSFLO facility from Beacon Park Yard to this new state-of-the-art facility in Westborough, we are opening up opportunities for improved freight services while supporting businesses in the MetroWest region, commonwealth and across New England."
The facility receives bulk shipments of commodities, such as, corn syrup, plastic pellets and industrial commodities by rail and transfers them to trucks for delivery to businesses in the commonwealth and New England that do not have a direct rail connection. It is twice as large as its previous Boston facility and is located on the existing footprint of a former automotive terminal owned by CSX. The $20-million investment in Westborough created approximately 106 construction jobs, with plans for eight full-time permanent positions to remain in the yard.
The relocation of facilities from the Beacon Park Yard in Boston to Westborough is part of the agreement between CSX and the commonwealth of Massachusetts first reached in 2009 and completed over multiple phases by October 2012. Through this agreement, the commonwealth and CSX agreed on a comprehensive transportation plan to expand commuter and freight rail service in the, strengthen the state's transportation infrastructure and improve the state's position in domestic and international economic markets by enhancing the flow of product shipments.
To support expanded commuter rail service on the Worcester to Boston line, CSX and its affiliates are relocating several facilities from Beacon Park Yard in Boston. In addition to Westborough, CSX is relocating its intermodal operations from Beacon Park Yard to a modern, expanded intermodal facility in Worcester. The company also expanded its intermodal facility in West Springfield.

Aren't people who watch sports the main customers for cable TV, what with Netflix and the internet and so forth? The linked NPR article is trying to generate outrage about cable TV, but it seems to me that cable TV is obsolescent. And I say that as someone who pays $200 a month for cable TV.
Understand: ESPN is an entirely different programming animal than, say, CBS, which dominates prime time –– or A&E, or HBO, or Showtime — on cable. Those networks must create programming.Well, our cable works with a box that lets us record while watching the show live. And we, in fact, do fast-forward through the commercials! If you don't understand how to watch live and still fast-forward commercials, you don't have the remote-control skills we do. It's not that hard. Let the live recording get a little ahead of where you're watching, so you'll be able to skip ahead. If you "catch up to live," do some more pausing/replays. That's what I do. I only watch commercials if I think they look amusing, which they are from time to time.
ESPN and the other sports networks are essentially just brokers. They take your subscription money, buy games and then "bring them" to you, pocketing a nice broker's fee. And because games are live, advertisers love it, because you can't fast-forward their commercials. And, hey, you only need to go to the bathroom so many times.
It's a great business model, taxing American households.

text: We finally brought home our little guy at 9lbs yesterday morning. First to go home. We are keeping in touch with the breeder. He was very happy to see us happy and know Ryder will have a great home. He had a long day. Couple car rides, he did good. All he did was mostly sleep. Vet visit went good. Vet says he has a soft tiny heart murmur but she told us not to worry because that tend to go away on its own, 95% of the time. We hope it does. Otherwise, he's one healthy boy! He even discovered grass, we think he was never on it so he had quite a experience. He stood there, looked around, then immediately ran over to where we are, so we took a little walk and he'd follow and sit by us, then repeat. He's so adorable, though. He met some of the family too! He had fun with that. First night away, Ryder did great! He slept in his crate in the kitchen, not a peep from 11:30pm to 5am. He did not go in his crate either. Not bad for a first night. He does get attached and want to be by us, no matter where we are. He is young, only 7 weeks but he is such a good boy. He is adjusting well, I think. At least we think he is. :) So, here are pictures! (Some PT'ers are on my FB so they probably have seen pictures already so I wanted to share on here as well)

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Former Christ School standout and now University of Notre Dame freshman Cory Sciupider got his first collegiate win Tuesday in Virginia.
He earned co-medalist honors at the C&F Bank Intercollegiate tournament at the Kingsmill Resort River Course after shooting a three-under-par 67.
It was just Sciupider's third collegiate tournament, after battling mono throughout the fall season and only playing in one fall tournament. He played two weeks ago in Statesboro, Ga., as an individual and this past weekend Sciupider was a part of Notre Dame's lineup.
The tournament was shortened to 18 holes because of inclement weather Sunday night, with no play on Monday. Sciupider's round of 67 tied Eastern Michigan's Casey Olsen for the overall lead, and tournament officials named both players co-champions of the event. Notre Dame's Andrew Lane tied for third place after firing a two-under par 68 on Sunday.
As a team the Irish finished in a tie for fifth place with a score of 289 (+9).
"We're so proud of Cory and Andrew, they really stepped up," Notre Dame head coach Jim Kubinski said in a story on the school's athletics Web site. "It's a big deal to have a frosh go out and earn a win. Some cynics may point to an 18-hole result being somewhat diminished but I disagree in this case. This was the largest field in college golf by far.
"Beating 160 players and posting a 67 in tough conditions, with no bogeys, is a big accomplishment."
Sciupider made birdies on his second, fourth and 16th holes to shoot his first round in the 60s as a collegiate player. His other 15 holes were par.
"Being reduced to 18 holes from 54 made it more of a shootout," Kubinski said. "The top players and teams always want to play more holes, as it most often brings out flaws in lesser players."
Notre Dame returns to tournament play April 6-7 at the Irish Creek Collegiate in Kannapolis, N.C.
Notre Dame freshman Sciupider gets first collegiate win

USFWS National Digital Library
MS. NORTON: Hello Dick, it's sure nice to see you. It's been a long time. Thanks for
affording the time to do this interview.
MR. STOTT: Sure.
MS. NORTON: The first thing I'd like to know is your birthplace and date.
MR. STOTT: I was born October 22, 1944 in Manchester, New Hampshire.
MS. NORTON: What were your parents' names?
MR. STOTT: John and Jennie Stott.
MS. NORTON: What were their jobs and education?
MR. STOTT: Both graduated from high school in Manchester. My father was a
salesman and my mother was a housewife.
MS. NORTON: Where did you spend your early years, all in Manchester?
MR. STOTT: Right, all in Manchester. I went to grammar school and high school there.
MS. NORTON: Did you have any hobbies, books, or events that influenced you a lot?
MR. STOTT: Not really. I played football and ran track. I was more in to sports.
MS. NORTON: Did you have a job as a child?
MR. STOTT: My last couple of years in high school I worked at a local grocery store.
MS. NORTON: Did you ever hunt or fish?
MR. STOTT: Not until I got to college.
MS. NORTON: What high school did you go to, and when did you graduate?
MR. STOTT: Bishop Bradley High School in Manchester. I graduated in 1962.
MS. NORTON: What university did you attend, and when?
MR. STOTT: I attended the University of New Hampshire from 1962 to 1967. I got a
bachelor's degree. I went back from 1970 to 1972 and got a master's degree.
MS. NORTON: What were your degrees in?
MR. STOTT: My bachelors was in Zoology and my masters is in Wildlife Biology.
MS. NORTON: What aspect of your formal education equipped you for the future?
MR. STOTT: I would say that both did, particularly the graduate degree in Wildlife
MS. NORTON: Was there any one person who most influenced your education and
your career track?
MR. STOTT: Probably my advisor in grad school; Dave Olsen. He was a professor in
the department of natural resources.
MS. NORTON: Were there any adverse influences?
MR. STOTT: No, not really.
MS. NORTON: Were you in the military?
MR. STOTT: No, I was not.
MS. NORTON: Have you ever been married?
MR. STOTT: No.
MS. NORTON: So therefore, you don't have any children?
MR. STOTT: No, I do not.
MS. NORTON: Why did you want to work for USFWS?
MR. STOTT: I guess I was interested in wildlife and zoology. I got interested when I
was nearing the end of my bachelors course work to be a wildlife biologist. That was my
intention and I applied for a civil service summer job. I ended up working at a wildlife
refuge in western New York. That was in 1966.
MS. NORTON: What did you do in your first job?
MR. STOTT: I was a Biological Technician. I did a variety of things like; waterfowl
surveys, brood counts, some maintenance work, herbicide control work and some other
surveys in the marshes there.
MS. NORTON: Where did you go from there?
MR. STOTT: I went to another refuge; Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in
Concord. After that I went down to Monomoy NWR at Cape Cod. After that I went to
Brigantine NWR in New Jersey. Then I went in to Research. I worked out of the Denver
Wildlife Research Center for a while. I ended up in Hilo, Hawaii as a Biologist. Then I
transferred back to Refuges. I went to Bombay Hook NWR where I was Assistant
Refuge Manager. After that I got in to Law Enforcement. I went to Indianapolis, Indiana
in January of 1975 as a Special Agent.
MS. NORTON: What were the pay and benefits like when you first started?
MR. STOTT: [Laughing] Pay and benefits? I think I was a GS-4! I forget what the pay
was, I really don't remember.
MS. NORTON: That's where I started too!
MR. STOTT: I remember when I was in Hilo, Hawaii I was only like a part-time GS-4
and it was only like thirty-six hours a week. That was back in 1972 and it was like four
thousand dollars a year.
MS. NORTON: Were there promotion opportunities for you in all of these various jobs?
MR. STOTT: Not in the positions I was in. I think the only way I could get a
promotion or advancement was to transfer another duty station and position.
MS. NORTON: Did you socialize with the people that you worked with?
MR. STOTT: Yes.
MS. NORTON: What did you do for recreation out in the field?
MR. STOTT: How do you mean, while I was in Refuges, personal or what?
MS. NORTON: Well I know it wasn't while you were in Law Enforcement!
MR. STOTT: We'd have cookouts and get togethers at somebody's house. It was a
matter of nothing really in depth. Just get togethers with the refuge staff. In Law
Enforcement, while I was working with other agents.
MS. NORTON: Did your career affect your family at all, your Mom and Dad?
MR. STOTT: No, not really. Sometimes they'd visit me at the different places I was in
the country. Sometimes they didn't. It didn't affect them emotionally or anything like
MS. NORTON: Are you an only child?
MR. STOTT: No, I have two older brothers.
MS. NORTON: Are either one of them in a conservation type job?
MR. STOTT: Nope.
MS. NORTON: Did you leave the USFWS only because it was time to retire?
MR. STOTT: Yes.
MS. NORTON: When did you retire, and where from? What grade were you when you
MR. STOTT: Portland, Maine in January of 1999. I was a GS-12.
MS. NORTON: What kind of training did you receive for your jobs?
MR. STOTT: I'd say that in Refuges it was more like supervisory training. I was in a
management position as Assistant RM. Obviously for the biological work that training
was what I received at the University of New Hampshire. As a Special Agent there was
specialized training and regional training and so forth.
MS. NORTON: What hours did you work?
MR. STOTT: For all of those jobs? I'd say Monday through Friday, at least, and some
nights and weekends.
MS. NORTON: Did the hours change when you went in to Law Enforcement?
MR. STOTT: While I was in Maine for twenty years I'd pretty much work six days a
week, Monday through Saturday. I'd take Sundays off. Sometimes I'd work some nights
during the week depending on if I had to interview people or make telephone contacts.
MS. NORTON: What were your day-to-day duties?
MR. STOTT: Enforcing the laws and regulations of the USFWS.
MS. NORTON: What tools and instruments did you use?
MR. STOTT: Using my head most of the time?
MS. NORTON: Did you witness any new Service inventions or innovations?
MR. STOTT: No.
MS. NORTON: Did you work with animals? How did you feel towards the animals?
MR. STOTT: Yes. I felt good towards them.
MS. NORTON: Which animals are we talking about now?
MR. STOTT: I'd say that my interest was mostly in waterfowl.
MS. NORTON: What kind of support did you receive as a federal employee; locally,
regionally, federally from the areas where you lived, and from people outside of the
MR. STOTT: I don't think I got any, or very little.
MS. NORTON: How do you think the Service was perceived by people outside of the
agency? For instance, when you were on a refuge near a little town.
MR. STOTT: I think it was mixed, both good and bad. If people liked what you were
doing they thought you were great. But then, if you made some constraints on their
recreation, or freedoms, or their use of the resources you might not be viewed as such a
great person.
MS. NORTON: Do you think agency/community relations were good or bad?
MR. STOTT: Again, it all depends on the people you were dealing with. Obviously,
you are not going to please everybody all of the time. I think depending on what the
people's interests were in the refuge, even in Law Enforcement, determined if it was good
or bad.
MS. NORTON: What projects were you involved in?
MR. STOTT: I don't think I had real big projects. It was just more the day-to-day stuff.
MS. NORTON: Did you ever have to deal with any major issues?
MR. STOTT: Not really. At least to me they weren't major.
MS. NORTON: Has your perspective or opinion on those issues changed over time?
MR. STOTT: No, not really. The issues are the same. I think that the Service has
changed a lot from the time when I first started in 1966 up to the time I left. I can still see
changes now.
MS. NORTON: You had thirty-three years?
MR. STOTT: I was going to school off and on too. When I finished up I had twenty-eight
years of actual time.
MS. NORTON: Who were your supervisors? If you can, go back to the beginning. Tell
me who they were and how they were.
MR. STOTT: Larry Smith, Ed Moses, Dale Cogshall, Tom McAndrews; those were
mostly refuges. In law enforcement there was Bob Hodges, Swenson, Wayne Sanders,
Jim Sheridan, Adam O'Hara; that was about it.
MS. NORTON: Were they good supervisors? Do you think they helped you?
MR. STOTT: They all had their good points and bad points. But overall I think if they
didn't bother me, I didn't bother them.
MS. NORTON: Who do you think the individuals were who helped you shape your
career in FWS?
MR. STOTT: I say probably Bob Hodges. My first three years as an Agent was with
him. I think he was pretty low-key and pretty supportive. If you did a good job he
would always tell you that.
MS. NORTON: Who were some of the other people you knew, who weren't necessary
in the same division with but who worked with the Service?
MR. STOTT: I knew a bunch of people!
MS. NORTON: Do you know who was President, Secretary of the Interior, or Director
of the FWS when you were working?
MR. STOTT: I can remember Lynn Greenwalt.
MS. NORTON: Do you think that the changes in administrations affected the work that
you did?
MR. STOTT: I think the Democrats are more sympathetic towards the wildlife
resources than the Republicans. I think they were more into development and more pro-business
as far as forsaking the wildlife resources for development.
MS. NORTON: Who do you think the individuals were who shaped the FWS?
MR. STOTT: Nobody really stands out in my mind.
MS. NORTON: Do you think it might have been the Regional Directors, or star
MR. STOTT: I think that whoever was in Washington; the Director or the Secretary of
the Interior are the ones who kind of shaped policy for the period of their administration.
They would change of administration to administration. Some administrations were pro
wildlife, even for law enforcement, and others were not.
MS. NORTON: What do you consider the high point of your career?
MR. STOTT: I guess surviving twenty-eight years!
MS. NORTON: What was the low point?
MR. STOTT: I don't think I ever had a low point. I mean there were some not so good
time, and some dim times, but I don't think there was really a low point.
MS. NORTON: Do you ever wish you had done anything differently when you were
doing your job?
MR. STOTT: Not really. Over all, I think hindsight makes up all wise people but I
don't think so. There are some investigations I did that I sometimes wish I had done a
little differently, but I don't think it would have affected a change in the final outcome. It
wouldn't have made that much of a difference.
MS. NORTON: What was the most dangerous or frightening experience you had in all of
those twenty-eight years?
MR. STOTT: Probably just working alone, especially at nighttime. You're dealing with
people who have firearms. I can't recall any specific event, or something like that, but I
think that's probably the time that you are really minding your Ps and Qs and really
watching people, particularly at night because there is usually alcohol involved.
MS. NORTON: Can you think far enough back to what was your most humorous
MR. STOTT: There were several! They were two numerous to mention. They all kind
of blend in together.
MS. NORTON: What would you like to tell others about your career, and about the
MR. STOTT: I think it was a great job. It's like I tell people now, even in retirement
that it was probably the greatest job anybody could possibly have. I used to like to say
to people that if I had to work for a living, I didn't know what I would do. It was really
good. I really enjoyed what I did; being a refuge manager, a biologist and also an agent in
law enforcement.
MS. NORTON: What would you tell them about the Service?
MR. STOTT: I think I saw a lot of changes during my time. The direction of the Service
has changed a lot. I guess I'm not really too keen on promoting the Service right now.
MS. NORTON: Tell me about some of the changes that you saw in the Service; like in
the personnel and in the environment.
MR. STOTT: I think towards the end of my career, in law enforcement, in Region 5 it
seems like the Regional Office was more into supporting the states rather than us being in
a leadership role. It was whatever the states wanted. Each state was different; they had
their different priorities so I think that really, the FWS just took a back seat as far as a
leadership role in the wildlife resources field.
MS. NORTON: What are your thoughts on the future? Where do you see the FWS
heading in the next eight to ten years?
MR. STOTT: I really don't know. I left, and my experiences were good. But as far as
where they go from here, I have very little interest. I liked my job, and what I did, but
there's no way I am going to have an impact on the directions of the Service.
MS. NORTON: Do you have any photographs or documents that you'd like to donate
or share with the Archives to go along with this interview?
MR. STOTT: No, I don't.
MS. NORTON: Whom else do you feel we should interview?
MR. STOTT: I think the people in refuges are good. I worked in that division for a
while and I think they provide an outlet for public use and things like that. If it wasn't
for refuges there'd probably be very little public use as far as birders and things like that.
I would try refuges people.
MS. NORTON: Okay! Well, Dick I sure am glad that we were able to hook up for this
little hour and do this interview. You were an important law enforcement type. That's
where I spent all of my career, but I've met some really interesting people who worked
for FWS in other divisions. So thanks very much for your time.

Makes about 24 pieces
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup fresh mint leaves
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 lemons
2 oranges
Coarse sugar, for dredging
3 cups ice
3 cups chopped, high-quality dark chocolate (60 percent cacao or higher)
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the 1 cup sugar in a shallow bowl. Dip the mint leaves in a pan of room-temperature tap water just long enough to soften, about 5 seconds. Scoop them out with a strainer, then dip them, one at a time, in the sugar to coat heavily on both sides. Place leaves on one of the baking sheets, and bake 1 hour in a low oven, 100 to 200 degrees.
For the citrus, bring the sugar, water, vanilla and salt to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Turn off heat; let the simple syrup cool 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring two medium saucepans of water to a boil. Zest the fruit, cutting each piece into thin strips. Place the zest in a strainer; dip into the first pot of boiling water for 20 seconds. Repeat with the second pot. Transfer to the pan of simple syrup, and let sit for a few minutes. Drain zest on a paper towel, pat dry and shower generously with sugar. Place on the second baking sheet; bake for about 1 hour in a low oven, 100 to 200 degrees.
For the chocolate, put the ice in a large bowl and set aside. Using a double boiler or stainless steel bowl set over, but not touching, barely simmering water, melt all but a handful of the chopped chocolate until the molten chocolate reaches 115 degrees on a candy thermometer.
Remove the bowl, and wipe the bottom with a towel so no water gets on your work surface. Add the remaining chocolate to the bowl and stir. Place the bowl over the bowl of ice for a few seconds at a time, removing it, stirring until smooth and repeating until the temperature drops to 82 degrees. Heat the chocolate again by placing it back over the simmering water for 30 seconds to 1 minute at a time. Once its temperature rises to 90 degrees, it is tempered and ready to use.
Line another baking sheet with parchment. Place the mint and citrus on top, reserving about 10 pieces for garnish. Pour 1/2 inch of chocolate over the baking sheet; decorate the top with reserved citrus. Let harden at room temperature for 20 minutes or in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. When fully set, break the bark into pieces and serve.

- Vastly larger mailbox sizes, with no message expiration date. Gmail mailboxes will be 25GB, which provides 250 times more space for emails and attachments. GroupWise accounts could only retain 100MB worth of messages and for no longer than 180 days.
- Access to Google Docs & Calendar for easy collaboration with peers and faculty.
- More effective integration with mobile devices. Many apps are available to link mobile device to Google's Gmail at no cost.
- Students can keep their new Gmail account for as long as they like after graduation. GroupWise accounts are limited to two years after the last enrolled semester.
The move is part of a long-range plan to move all Emporia State email accounts off Novell GroupWise. The first phase of this plan came during the second half of 2011 when faculty and staff accounts were moved to the Outlook email platform through Microsoft Exchange.
Technology & Computing Services will continue to send announcements as the project progresses to help guide students and employees throughout this transition. Information will also be made available on the TCS Helpdesk website, http://helpdesk.emporia.edu.

Welker says his comments were a joke
New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker said on Monday he was joking when he made comments on Sunday that sounded like a dig at Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
"Yeah, it's kind of nice to stick it in Bill's face once in a while. So this is definitely a good one," Welker said when asked if he enjoyed catching 13 passes in Sunday's victory over Denver.
When asked about the comments on Monday, Welker said, according to NFL.com, "It was a joke. I don't know what to else say about it ... Bill and I have a good relationship."
Belichick didn't have much to say when asked on Monday what Welker meant by his comments.
"You should ask (Welker) about it then, what he meant by it. I don't know," he said.
