If wives have been lying and size really does matter, the state of Georgia is in big trouble.
A new "study" ranking states according to the size of male genitalia fails to mention our manly state at all.
I was exposed to this shocking lack of information by a Time.com article, which lists which states purchase the most larger-than-usual condoms.
North Dakota, which is usually busy drilling oil, is ranked first. Tiny Rhode Island is No. 2, but they are likely overcompensating for constantly being compared to small things.
Georgia, which should probably be ranked ahead of at least Alabama (No. 8), is nowhere to be seen on the list.
What does this mean? Are Georgia men simply not purchasing giant condoms? Has the legislature banned the sale of such things and I've not noticed? Have Georgia merchants zipped up their sales data?
Time has asked Condomania (the geniuses that left an entire state off a 'state-by-state' list) why Georgia was shortchanged.
I'll keep you updated.
More news you may not know exists:

The legislature probably passed a law which outlaws them because Republicans do not believe in birth control of any kind.
December 3rd, 2013
4:24 pm
We don't wear them. Our women know better than to ask.
And Lynn obviously has no idea what she's talking about. She's clearly confusing Republicans with strict Catholics. Lynn: You're not informed enough to provide any more opinions, anywhere.

Q: How can North Dakota be No. 1?
A: Farm animals
At least they are practicing safe bestiality…
December 3rd, 2013

@Lynn43: Kindly jump off a bridge. That's the type of birth control I believe in.

If your a true believer, you leave it all up to Jesus. No need for healthcare or prophylatics.

Lynn43 gets it right and all you small minded (cough) tea cry babies attack her. you would think people in georgia wouldnt be so proud of their ignorance but conservatives prove us wrong every time. your mothers must be just so proud, I know JB Stoner is of the current crop of republicans

All the men in N. Dakota are the size of BigFoot. No wonder the XL.
December 3rd, 2013

They only included AJC reporters, bloggers, and editors purchases. Since they are known to be impotent – the data was meaningless.
December 3rd, 2013
4:53 pm
I don't purchase condoms…………..but I do see that the link and the word "measure" is grossly misspelled!!!!! The AJC (and to boot they want to charge for articles) spelled it "meaure". SAD!!! Maybe whoever wrote this should think about buying condoms to prevent another illiterate?

Morn1960=Lynn43=Idiot. If you don't know the difference between a Republican, a Conservative, and a Catholic, please don't comment anymore.

LOL I once lived with a North Dakota farm boy when I lived in St Louis. LOL LOL. But hey, I've uh, dated guys from VA and GA and California, and most all are about the same. The North Dakota farm boy was great protection in the dangerous city of St Louis though. Some white teenagers threw snowballs at my car and my guy ran then down and made them clean up the car. Hey working on a farm in Balta and then going into the army in Germany before going to NDSU makes a guy strong. Plus, all those folks in ND are Germans, and they are hard workers. Not much for sense of humor, but strong guys who worked on dairy farms groaning up.
LOL LOL. So how did Savannah and Atlanta measure up?
December 3rd, 2013

Toys. The women in those other states have to use toys to be satisfied. Georgia men get it done naturally.

LydiasDad – Republicans believe birth control is putting an Aspirin between a woman's woo hah, Conservatives believe that kids come from a Stork and Catholics like little boys.

George Mathis, I always love your topics and your articles…. In a World that has become filled with uptight Individuals and news articles/topics, it's always great to see that some (individuals) still have a sense of humor. Keep up the great work!
December 3rd, 2013

This makes a lot of sense because I buy my condoms mail order from North Dakota. Also, aspirin in the "woo hah" is an effective measure.

I guess this story debunks the myth about blacks. Ga has way more blacks than N. Dakota or Rhode Island.
December 3rd, 2013

I've this conversation with all of my guy friends. We hate condoms and would rather take the risk than not enjoy sex. At the same time though – The ladies rarely bring it up.
December 3rd, 2013
6:09 pm
This is old NEWS! The first report of this shortcoming was made aware by ALL, shortly after the arrival of The Good Ship Jesus to America's Shores.
This is the REAL REASON for the CIVIL WAR….:)

I know the answer to this – Washington, D.C. Should is obviously number 1 because all of the biggest Dxxkheads are in Congress with the biggest of all in the White House!

Since Georgia has so many Black men, I am astonished since we all know that African bruthas are hung like horses.

Condoms are for squares. They take away all the feeling.
December 3rd, 2013

Most "Brothers" aren't using condoms. Its stupid, deadly and wrong as all get up, but most aren't. That leaves the "white guys" using the extra small condoms! Just saying.

Good Gawd, how low will a news outlet go in headlines to get a reader? Oh, as low as whale scht!

Best condom story ever was related by David Brinkley in his book. Years ago a man had the job of inspecting restrooms at Gulf Oil franchised gas stations. After inspecting the ladies restroom at a Gulf Station he confronted the owner because he had found a condom machine in the ladies restroom. He told the owner that reflected badly on Gulf and it would have to be removed. The station owner said there was no way he was taking that machine out.
"I never put any condoms in it and I get $20 a week in quarters out of it. And I never get a single complaint."

George, please share with us why you are concerned with the fact that Georgia men don't measure up in a condom study.
December 3rd, 2013

@bloodbike; I stand corrected, you are correct, bruthas don't use condoms, and thats why there is so many illegitimate baby mama babys around.

It was and still is Demcrats killing the blacks with their slavery policies and more blacks kill blacks than the KKK so where is Jessie and Lynn43 should have been ab*orte&

As morn1960 knows, JB Stoner was a Democrat: "Stoner unsuccessfully attempted to run as a Democrat for several political offices in order to promote his white supremacist agenda."
Dems have numerous white supremacists as heroes including Bull Connor and Robert KKK Byrd.
But thanks for giving me the opportunity to point this out. When it comes to libs, there is no subjugation without representation.
December 3rd, 2013

Perhaps it has a lot to do with the fact that those in rural areas of GA, especially South Ga, always purchase the "cheap condoms". That would be balloons, for those "city folks". Come to think of it though, that is pretty revealing!
December 3rd, 2013
11:28 pm
i am a georgian and can assure you that this article is a non sense. it is all because of that health care fraud that barack hussein is doin to this country and tryin to make us georgians look bad. this is a state of values and a state to be proud of. for all you men readin this article go make your women proud and ignore this non sense

Lily, I went to your link and they are selling extra small men's condoms. No wonder she is making all of that money!
December 4th, 2013

If they'd included X-large textured rubber finger pads ($2.50/doz @ Staples) that many GA guys use we would've ranked higher.

Be advised that my purchases could have effect the results.
Between me and Anthony Weiner, we placed NY in the top 10.

Condoms are a simple and effective way to make sure you or your partner are not infected with a sexually transmitted infection, such as HIV. And, not everyone needs a larger condom! Talk about condom use and previous sex partners before you have sex – it's better to be safe than sorry.
December 5th, 2013

Perhaps men in GA buy their condoms in neighboring states – like when we buy fireworks?

If you're juggling 3 varsity sports, your faith, and other extracurricular
activities, you need to arrange your priorities. According to this week's
academic all star, Jeffery Weyand.
'Priorities. Always room for goals you achieve that are your
priorities. Have to find the balance between biggest priorities and find spot
in your time for things that aren't very high on your list,' says Weyand.
As if sports and maintaining a 3.5 GPA isn't enough, he's
also an Eagle Scout.
'Biggest things you do as an Eagle Scout is a leadership
service project. My project, I built a Pavilion for a Park, that along
took 900 hours,' says Weyand.
He plans on being an Orthopedic Surgeon after college, and
his coaches have all the faith in the world in him.
'If he does become an orthopedic surgeon, we can definitely
use his skills in the wrestling room as far as that's concerned. Fix some of us
up as we get older. Great example for our young athletes come in as freshman,
not just how to act on the mat, work hard in the wrestling room, how to act in
the classroom, in the community, how in general to be a good guy,' says
Assistant Wrestling Coach Andrew Ashworth.

|For the SDSS-III collaboration(s)
|We analyze the density field of galaxies observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) included in the SDSS Data Release Nine (DR9). DR9 includes spectroscopic redshifts for over 400,000 galaxies spread over a footprint of 3,275 deg^2. We identify, characterize, and mitigate the impact of sources of systematic uncertainty on large-scale clustering measurements, both for angular moments of the redshift-space correlation function and the spherically averaged power spectrum, P(k), in order to ensure that robust cosmological constraints will be obtained from these data. A correlation between the projected density of stars and the higher redshift (0.43 < z < 0.7) galaxy sample (the 'CMASS' sample) due to imaging systematics imparts a systematic error that is larger than the statistical error of the clustering measurements at scales s > 120h^-1Mpc or k < 0.01hMpc^-1. We find that these errors can be ameliorated by weighting galaxies based on their surface brightness and the local stellar density. We use mock galaxy catalogs that simulate the CMASS selection function to determine that randomly selecting galaxy redshifts in order to simulate the radial selection function of a random sample imparts the least systematic error on correlation function measurements and that this systematic error is negligible for the spherically averaged correlation function. The methods we recommend for the calculation of clustering measurements using the CMASS sample are adopted in companion papers that locate the position of the baryon acoustic oscillation feature (Anderson et al. 2012), constrain cosmological models using the full shape of the correlation function (Sanchez et al. 2012), and measure the rate of structure growth (Reid et al. 2012).

The narrow realm of student repertoire is too confining for young ears
I was always using my eyes to stop myself from being bored when practising – I'd look out of the window or at whatever else was interesting. Instead I'd suggest putting on a blindfold and focusing all my attention on listening to my intonation and quality of sound.
I'd tell myself to put in more time with the violin and practise scales, arpeggios and double-stops faithfully and slowly every day. There is simply nothing that will advance ability more completely and with greater value than a regular diet of this 'right stuff'. I'd also work slowly on repertoire by composers of all generations. The narrow realm of student repertoire is too confining for young ears.

Grant County Girls Golf looks to continue their strong start this year when they won their first match of the year at the Madison Southern Invitational and followed that up by winning the Central Kentucky Conference at Mt. Sterling Country Club and grabbing second place at the Grant County Invitational at Eagle Creek.
The Williamstown cross country team is in familiar territory having a young team with 23 middle school athletes and only four high school students in juniors Jeff Jackson, Carly Middleton, Avery March, and freshman Megan Perkins.
"We are a young team with great kids," head coach Mark Kinsey said. "A lot of kids are showing a lot of initiative and discipline."
The team will be headed by eighth grader Bradley Perkins.
Within their respective age groups, all of the kids are looking solid, but the team is still looking for runners.
Fresh off a win in the Beechwood Invitational Grant County's boys golf team is off running and feel that they stand a good chance of making it to state.
Grant proves to be strong at the top two positions with senior Cody Kellam and sophomore Jacob Vrolijk.
"I feel that my top two golfers can compete with anyone in the state," head coach Michael Camacho said. "I feel that Cody and Jacob can make the All-State Team."
The Grant County Animal Shelter will be offering a free spay/neuter clinic for cats as long as there is money available for the program.
The United Coalition For Animals (UCAN) and the animal shelter have partnered to offer the public an opportunity to have their cats spayed/neutered for a $20 refundable deposit. The animals will also receive a rabies vaccination, FVRCP immunization, microchip and treatment for fleas, ear mites, ticks or tapeworms if needed.
The Northern Kentucky University-Grant County Center has a new leader.
Correy Eimer has been hired as the new director of the Williamstown facility.
The Williamstown Independent School Board will soon have a vacancy.
School board member Pete Whaley withdrew his name for consideration for a second term a day after the Aug. 12 candidate filing deadline.
Whaley, who joined the board in January 2011, also submitted his resignation to the Kentucky Commissioner of Education on Aug. 15.
Whaley's wife, Tonya Whaley, is the choice of the school district's hiring committee for a position at Williamstown.
With her pending employment, Whaley could no longer serve on the school board.
A 47-year-old Pendleton County man died Aug. 15 when his vehicle went off Falmouth Road and struck a tree.
Gregory Tolbert was pronounced dead at the scene by the Grant County Coroner's Office.
According to the Grant County Sheriff's Office, Tolbert was traveling east on Falmouth Road when his vehicle went off the left side of the road and hit the tree.
It is believed that Tolbert suffered a medical emergency, causing him to run off the road, based on the investigation and preliminary results from the autopsy.
Williamstown High School stayed above the state average while Grant County High School fell just below in recently released ACT scores.
The data is from high school juniors who took the test during the 2013-14 school year. Those students are seniors this year.
Since 2008, state law has mandated all of Kentucky's public school juniors participate in the ACT, which assesses English, reading, mathematics and science and is scored on a scale of 1 to 36.
Monica Schneider has beaten the odds and has no plans of giving up hope now.
Schneider, a hair stylist for more than 40 years, has helped countless men and women feel better with a look, cut or curl.
She's been there for first hair cuts, proms, weddings and even giving the last style for a deceased client.
Now her family hopes those customers and friends will give back to her by attending a benefit in her honor from 10:30 a.m. to close on Aug. 27 at LaRosa's in Dry Ridge.

After getting so many insensitive comments last year when they featured a biracial family in their cereal ad, Cheerios is taking a stand and using that same family in their big Super Bowl ad this year.
This time, the father sits with his daughter and reveals to her that she will soon have a brother. Her reaction is priceless. (Hint, the daughter bargains for another member to the family!)
While some criticized the first commercial, others supported the message that Cheerios was spreading. Many YouTube directors even made parodies to poke fun at the insensitive comments.
A General Mills company spokesperson says that it's all about families and love.
"When families eat breakfast together, amazing things can happen," the video description says.
Many comments on the new advertisement shows support for Cheerio's stand against racism.
"hahahahaha... :D.. Never thought i would see the day that cheerios has to take a stand.. and stand they did :D," wrote Mari Thomas.
Another viewer wrote, "I'm so glad Cheerios didn't let the racist trolls stop them from using this family for their commercials. Way to go cheerios for standing up for what is right. I wish more people would do the same."
The new commercial has already amassed almost a million views since being posted two days ago on YouTube.
Click here to watch one of the viral parodies that supported the original Cheerios commercial against all the backlash.

Owensboro Police are asking for your help finding a man who raped a woman at knife point over the weekend.
Sunday morning around 2:30, police responded to a call on the 1200 block of W. 7th St.
A woman told officers that a stranger carrying a knife entered her apartment at approximately 1:50 a.m. and sexually assaulted her.

Blaine Community Assistance Program
By Brent Brentnall
The Community Assistance Program (CAP) is the outreach arm of the Peace Arch Christian Ministerial Association, a non-profit association of 19 churches in the area. It is financially supported by the association, the Salvation Army and the city of Blaine utility fund.
The purpose of the Community Assistance Program is twofold:
1) To serve needy people of the Blaine community, including Birch Bay, Custer, and Point Roberts through four programs: providing emergency assistance for those in crises; clothing the poor (St. Martin's Clothing Bank); providing household needs for the destitute (Mother Hubbard's Cupboard); feeding needy hungry families at Thanksgiving (Thanksgiving Dinner Basket Program).
2) To offer opportunities for individuals, organizations and churches to provide the above.
In 2008 the Emergency Assistance Program provided emergency assistance worth more than $12,000 to 108 families in crisis. Assistance with utility bills, food, prescription medications, transportation, emergency shelter and referrals for help were among the needs met. For help, phone 392-8484.
During the last 12 months St. Martin's Clothing Bank met 1800 individual requests for clothing by families 1,334 times. St. Martin's, located next to the Blaine Food Bank, is open from 9 a.m. – noon Tuesdays and Fridays.
In 2008 Mother Hubbard's Cupboard provided beds, household furniture, small appliances, dishes, and kitchenware to 15 destitute families. The cupboard is available by appointment only, call 371-3360.
At Thanksgiving, the Thanksgiving Basket Program provided 189 complete, ready-to-cook Thanksgiving dinners to needy families with children.
This year we fed a total of 880 people, 420 children and 460 adults. Funding for this program was provided by individual contributions solicited from the larger Blaine community and local businesses.
In 2009 we plan to continue this outreach to the community. Our longer term goal is to consolidate and expand these programs in a single building space.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Meals on Wheels Spokane is committed to continuing its services, despite the threat of automatic spending cuts that could slash senior assistance programs across the country.
The non-profit, located in downtown Spokane, opted out of state and federal funding for its senior nutrition program in 2010. The program is funded by private donations, fundraiser and grants.
Meals on Wheels Spokane serves 60 meals daily at its headquarters, and delivers another 200 meals to seniors at their homes.
The program is available to seniors age 60 or older. The delivered meals include a hot lunch five days a week along with two frozen meals that are delivered for the weekends. Suggested donations are $4 a meal, but only if the recipient can afford it.
Director Mollie Dalpae said many seniors who use Meals on Wheels also use other assistance programs that could be affected by the spending cuts.
"This sequester is going to cost about a million dollars in Washington state alone just for meals for seniors," said Dalpae. "For them to put into a stalemate and put this vulnerable population at risk at hunger is immoral to us."

91-Year-Old Yiddish Rock Star
A visit with Arkady Gendler, the last link to the living roots of Yiddish culture, on the eve of a new album
Passing by a statue of Lenin, we arrived at an early 1950s Khruchevka, a dilapidated mass-housing unit built during the Khrushchev period, and climbed the stairs of a dimly lit corridor slathered with peeling blue paint. Shveld knocked on the door and bellowed, "Open up it's the KGB!"
"Who is it?" came a soft response from behind the door, followed by the click of six or seven locks, and Arkady Gendler welcomed us into his apartment with a paternal display of worry and care: "I was worried sick! This is a criminal city in a criminal country! Why didn't you call!?"
The apartment, which he had inhabited since 1952 with his wife until her death some years ago, was a jumble of books, papers, records, small objects d'art, and meticulously organized boxes of medicine stacked in symmetrical pyramids. Gendler apologized for its messiness ("I am an old bachelor, you see"), which is in direct contrivance to his own fastidious and gallant appearance. His wide and noble forehead is topped with a perfectly frosted crown of white hair. He prefers shirtsleeves at home and wears the dapper retro checkered suits of the Soviet retiree outdoors, though unlike the typical Soviet retiree, his French suits are perfectly cut. On his breast pocket, over his heart and to the left of his marbled tie clip, he wears the medals and colored bars of a veteran of World War II and campaign Barbarossa.
What is most seductive about Gendler, though, is his voice: Gentle and firm, velvety cadenced and silky, it is the voice of a natural crooner. His intonation is a pitch higher than ordinary, and his syntax is on occasion reminiscent of the protagonist in a Saul Bellow novel. The well-known German clarinetist Christian Dawid, who dedicated two years of his life to Gendler—he produced and arranged the compositions on Gendler's new CD, Yidishe Lider, his third, and the first containing his own original compositions—told me that Gendler's voice is "a natural lyrical tenor, though now deepening into a baritone. He is not schooled in the classical sense, but informed by the cantors, theater artists, and operatic tenors of his youth."
Gendler was born in the town of Soroke in Bessarabian Romania on Nov. 29, 1921. Its population having only doubled over the course of a century, the leafy town of 30,000 now sits along the Dniester river between the Ukrainian and Moldovan borders and boasts a sturdy 16th-century stone fortress. Curiously enough Soroke has produced another giant of underground world and post-Soviet culture in subversive Ukrainian filmmaker and actress Kira Muratova, though Gendler informed me that the families were not acquainted.
He immortalized the town in his song "Mayn shtetele Soroke" (My hometown Soroke) set to a melody he once heard being played by a Romanian military brass band as a boy:
Vu es flist der alter Nester
Tsvishn berg un tsvishn tol
Shteyt farkholemt mayn Soroke
Mit a festung fun amol
Where flows the ancient Dniester
Through the valleys and the hills
Wrapped in dreams stands my Soroke
Its fortress walls built long ago.
His parents Rokhl and Elkhonen and the entire family were tailors—"dames' tailors," he told me using old-fashioned shtetl phrasing in place of "women's." The youngest of 10 children, two of whom died in childhood, he was doted on by his six older sisters. The family was learned and traditional, yet impious and progressive. "Ironically enough"—he employed the word often—"we were Romanian Communists!" Yiddish was spoken at home and Romanian outside of it. Despite crippling poverty, family life as he remembers it was idyllic, happy, and full of song. The Gendler children were all talented singers and constituted the core of the town's Yiddish theater troupe, though formal education in a Romanian school had to be abandoned for lack of money when he was 11. His youth came to an end in the summer of 1940 when the Romanian army decamped and Soviet troops marched into and annexed Bessarabia under a secret protocol of the Molotov-Ribbintrop pact. Gendler was 19 years old and did not yet know a single word of Russian.
In the summer of 1941, he and his brother were called up to the front along with a sister who was a nurse. Assigned to a brigade of shock troop infantry on the Ukranian front, they were sent to the front lines, where Gendler walked the length of Ukraine by foot over six months as the Red Army retreated, sustaining loss after colossal loss at the hands of the invading Nazi armies. In the autumn of '41 he was wounded in the lungs by shrapnel from a bursting shell in fighting along the Russian border and was transferred to a supply unit in the rear. "This was the only thing that saved my life," he told me, and he is undoubtedly correct: Life expectancy for a Russian man on the western front was about eight days.
Returning to Soroke he found that the Nazis had murdered his entire extended family including his mother, father, and five siblings. "The ironic part," he said with a bitter smile, "was that those of us who went up to the front all survived."

California dreaming
The next chapter in Perry's life, and the point from which her Part of Me movie picks up, began with her California Dreams tour. This gruelling 124-stop tour started its journey in February 2011 and traversed the globe for almost a year. After marrying Russell Brand in an Indian hindu ceremony only three months earlier, the touring schedule was tough for the newlyweds, which is well documented as the narrative arc of her film. In one scene, as she's about to go onstage in Brazil, she sobs uncontrollably backstage as her marriage to Brand falls apart, and talks about her dashed desire for a "fairytale" romance. On the bright side, the tour netted over $59.5 million, and while we know money can't keep you warm at night, that kind of cashola can buy you more than a few Mulberry silk comforters.

SVMC corrects deficiencies, will contine to receive MedicareStaff report | November 06,2013BENNINGTON - A follow-up visit to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center found that hospital officials have corrected the deficiencies identified in early October which leaves the Bennington hospital in good standing with the federal Medicare program, according to a press release from SVMC.
No deficiencies were identified during a three-day follow-up visit which ended Oct. 30.
In a statement, Thomas Dee, president and CEO of Southwestern Vermont Health Care, the hospital's parent company, said he was pleased with the findings. Dee thanked the nurses, doctors and other staff that worked to make sure the hospital could continue to accept Medicare payment.
The inspection was prompted by an incident, reported by SVMC officials, in early October during which a patient died unexpectedly but two emergency room nurses failed to report the death immediately.
Dee said hospital officials "offered our sincere apology to the patient's family" and remained in contact with them to will continue to keep them apprised of the changes made by the hospital.
"This incident does not define us. Our nursing quality has been recognized by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Magnet program, and we take pride in that. The entire staff's desire and ability to quickly set things right ensures that our community continues to have access to the high quality care they deserve and have come to expect from SVMC."Dee added.MORE IN This Just InA Rutland judge has denied Christopher Sullivan's motion to exclude an expert's testimony from...

We ordered these for our wedding and loved the color, design and picture quality - they looked exactly like the picture and the quality was great! The picture was crisp and not pixelated, very good quality. They shipped within a day of ordering and received a few days later. I would definitely reccomend."
"When I ordered the card, I thought they were not going to be as sturdy as when they arrived. They are actually more than I expected and the quality if amazing. I would definitely recommend this to my friends for their wedding."
"I love the live chat option. I've used it over and over and everyone is always very helpful and willing to make things work! Wonderful company!"
"I love my save the dates! I ordered the glitter paper which was subtle, yet fun. The print quality and paper quality were terrific and just as I expected. I requested a few custom colors and custom changes and the cards came out exactly as I requested. They emailed me a preview beforehand that was perfect. I was going for a fall/halloween theme without being overt and these worked perfect with the colors I used. They have a vintage feel to them which is perfect. Would highly recommend! My only wish is that they had more magnet options with bigger sizes like this."

Kyle Pottkotter
Kyle Pottkotter founded One Five Sports after 13 years of college coaching on his resume. One Five Sports is focused on providing the highest quality instruction to help players of all abilities take their game to the next level.Read Full Bio
Coach Pottkotter began his coaching career at the NCAA Division III power house, The College of Wooster. In three years, the Fighting Scots were 71-14, won two North Coast Athletic Conference Championships, and advanced to the NCAA Championships twice, including a trip to the Sweet 16. In addition to numerous players earning all-conference awards, he helped coach two players who earned All-American honors, including one who would go on to be named the NCAA Division III National Player of the Year. During his time at The College of Wooster, Pottkotter was mentored by Head Coach Steve Moore, who ranks in the top five in both wins and winning percentage in NCAA Division III history.
In 2002, Pottkotter returned to coach at his alma mater, Denison University, as an assistant to Bob Ghiloni. Within three years, the Big Red had more than doubled their win total prior to his arrival. He helped lead them to one of their best seasons in over a decade, which included earning the right to host a conference tournament game. While at Denison, Pottkotter helped recruit and coach the school's all-time leading scorer, in addition to numerous all-conference honorees. While at Denison, Pottkotter also served as the Head Men's Golf Coach.
After Denison, Pottkotter moved on to another traditional Division III power, Otterbein University, in Westerville, OH. In three years, the Cardinals had doubled their win total and Pottkotter helped coach the OAC's leading scorer and rebounder. While at Otterbein, Pottkotter worked for legendary coach Dick Reynolds.
In 2008, Coach Pottkotter began hosting and directing Nike Basketball Camps in central Ohio. Hundreds of boys and girls have come from all over the country to work on and improve their games in the summer. He continues to expand his Nike Basketball Camp offerings for both boys and girls throughout the state of Ohio.
Coach Pottkotter earned a B.A. in History from Denison University in 1999 and a M.S.S in Sport Coaching from the United States Sports Academy in 2002.
Complete Skills: This program is intended to help players develop athletically. The individual camp is a great opportunity for young basketball players looking to develop and refine their fundamental basketball skills. This program also includes a curriculum for intermediate/ advanced players looking to enhance their skill set at the post, wing, or guard position. Emphasis is placed on fundamental development, shooting, offensive moves, defense, rebounding, team play, and more.
Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. In addition, campers will be evaluated and then split up into smaller groups according to age and ability.

The US Sports Camps health and release forms do not require a doctor's signature and they will be collected on the first day of camp.
Camper Parent
After the first day of camp, my son said this was his favorite camp ever. EVER. Nice job. I think the quality of the staff and the organization of their day allowed the kids to learn while having a great time. My son has already asked to go next year.
I had so much fun at camp that I really want to come back next summer.I also feel like after playing this week I will make the team that I'm trying out for.

"Tasting through Robert Mondavi's portfolio continues to reinforce my impression that this winery is undeniably the spiritual and qualitative leader of that sector of the California wine industry dedicated to producing world-class wines. What is so admirable about the entire Mondavi operation is that they continue to push their wines to higher and higher qualitative levels. Their nearly obsessive pursuit of bottling the wines with no manipulation has led to the majority of Mondavi's white wines being bottled without filtration - an extraordinary testament to their commitment to natural wines and superb quality."

For more than 40 years, Robert Mondavi Winery has been the symbol of Napa Valley. Founded in 1966, it was the first major winery built in Napa Valley in the three decades following the repeal of Prohibition (1933), and went on to establish the foundation for modern California winemaking.

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

Berea, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Cleveland Browns coach Rob Chudzinski announced Wednesday that Jason Campbell will start at quarterback against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
The decision to make a switch at quarterback comes just days after Brandon Weeden dropped to 0-4 as a starter this season with a 31-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Weeden started the first two games of the season before hurting his thumb. The Oklahoma State product sat out the next two games as Brian Hoyer took over under center.
The 30-year-old Weeden was forced back into action when Hoyer suffered a torn ACL in Week 5 against the Bills.
On Sunday against Green Bay, Weeden completed just 17-of-42 passes for 149 yards, one touchdown and an interception.
Weeden had a rough rookie season in 2012, completing just 57.4 percent of his passes for 3,385 yards with 14 touchdowns and 17 interceptions for a 5-11 team.
Campbell signed with the Browns this spring after playing six games with one start for Chicago last year. He completed 32-of-51 passes for 265 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions as the primary backup to Jay Cutler.
The 31-year-old Campbell was selected with the 25th overall pick of the 2005 draft by Washington and spent his first five seasons with the Redskins before heading to Oakland for two years.
Campbell draws the difficult task of facing the league's best pass-rushing team in the Chiefs, who lead the league with 35 sacks.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell • Ramping up his criticism of President Obama's jobs bill. The plan's starting point is, as many of the President's negotiating postures throughout his term have been, pretty generous; more than 50% of its value goes to tax cuts, ostensibly a cherished Republican ideal. Obama's tact in discussing the bill has been unique from past initiatives, too – whereas on health care and financial reform he deliberately distanced himself from the process, deferring to congress, he's said in no uncertain terms that this is his plan, and he wants it passed swiftly. Faced with a more assertive adversary, the GOP seems happy to stick to the playbook, and why not? It's been very successful for them so far, if at the risk of looking obstinate. source (via • follow)

Between 1960 and 2012 the share of Canadians in the U.S. foreign-born population declined from 10 to 2 percent, while the actual number of Canadian immigrants has remained remarkably steady. Using the most up-to-date statistics, this profile examines the Canadian immigrant population by size, age, location, college education, and more.

Central American migrants have long hopped freight trains known as "La Bestia," or the beast, to get through Mexico en route to the United States. While Mexico has been accused of turning a blind eye to this traffic, U.S. outcry over the surge of unaccompanied child migrants has drawn new attention to the use of the trains. This article highlights the journey aboard the trains, the dangers faced by migrants, and responses by the Mexican government and others.
The once-tiny population of Vietnamese immigrants in the United States has grown to become the country's sixth largest foreign-born group in the span of several decades, with the first wave beginning at the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. This data profile examines the Vietnamese immigrant population by size, recency of arrival, top states and cities of settlement, college education, sending of remittances, and much more.
When Congress returns from recess in September, lawmakers will need to pick up where they left off on approving an emergency spending bill to address unaccompanied migrant children at the border. This article previews upcoming battles in Congress and analyzes how the recent border crisis is changing the broader immigration debate in the United States.
Turkey's migration identity has shifted from being principally a country of emigration and transit to becoming a destination for immigrants and people fleeing conflict. In response, Turkish policymakers recently enacted a comprehensive migration and asylum law that took effect in April 2014. This article examines the new law, which is intended as a significant step toward managing both legal and irregular migration to Turkey, including humanitarian migration.
The Dominican-born population in the United States has grown rapidly since 1960, and today, the United States is home to 960,000 immigrants from the Dominican Republic. This article provides up-to-date demographic information for Dominican immigrants in the United States, including statistics on distribution by state and metro area, educational and professional attainment, income levels, health care coverage, and more.
Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.
Use this data tool—referred to as "one addictive interactive map"—to examine immigrant populations by country of origin and destination. Find out how many Americans live in Mexico, how many Ukrainians in Russia, or Filipinos in Saudi Arabia, for example.
In 2006, the U.S. admitted more than 41,000 refugees for resettlement and granted asylum to more than 26,000 people. MPI's Kelly O'Donnell and Jeanne Batalova take a detailed look at refugee and asylum statistics in the United States.
Sensitive to having too many outsiders, prosperous Asian countries generally have relied on temporary worker programs — with few rights for migrants — to fill gaps in their labor markets. With its historically diverse population, Singapore is the main exception as it sees migrants as a demographic necessity and courts highly skilled migrants.
Immigration and the 2008 elections, migration and climate change, visa waiver programs, more.
How do migrant sending and receiving countries both get more of what they want—without the receiving countries committing to a new stream of permanent migration? The European Union thinks it may have found an answer in the concept of "mobility partnerships."
While the countries that make a point of competing for the world's best and brightest tweaked their entry systems in 2007, the European Commission took a bold leap in late October: it formally proposed a European Union "Blue Card" scheme for admitting highly qualified non-EU workers who already have a work contract in a Member State and professional qualifications.

Taking a cue from Pioneer's recent announcement, Onkyo has just released the specifications of its 2010 entry-level A/V receiver line, all of which include support for HDMI v1.4 (which includes pass-through of 3D video).
The flagship of the entry-level line and, if past models are an indication, likely to be one of the most popular AVRs on the market is Onkyo's TSX-SR608 7.2 AVR. Providing 100 watts per channel through an inverted Darlington output topology, along with Audyssey DSX, Dolby PLIIz, and THX Select2 certification, the SR608 offers several notable steps up over last year's well received SR607.
New video enhancements include an upgrade to Faroudja DCDi Cinema video processing, overlaid GUI for setup, and six HDMI inputs (including one front HDMI input).
With an MSRP of $599, the TX-SR608 looks to offer a lot of bang for not a lot of bucks. Look for it on store shelves in April.
Other models announced include the $299 TX-SR308 and $399 TX-SR508, 5.1 and 7.1 AVRs capable of decoding Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master audio, along with including Burr Brown DACs, overlaid GUI setup, and HDMI v1.4 video support. The SR308 and SR508 should be available this month.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Moi dix Mois is a sound project featuring the lyrics, composition, and programming of the notable musician and fashion designer Mana (G), the leader of Malice Mizer. Moi dix Mois was started on Mana's birthday, March 19th, of 2002. The name Moi dix Mois was created by Mana and has special significance. "Moi dix Mois" is French. The "Moi" being "self" and representing Mana, "dix" for 10 which signifies "1" as beginning and "0" being forever, or infinity, and "Mois" is "month" thus "dix Mois" means "10 months". This signifies birth and beginning, as it takes 10 months in total for a fetus to grow from egg to birth. Mana's Moi dix Mois music is a spicy fusion of classic and progressive, delicacy and craze, construction and destruction; with a symphonic sound that is thrilling and dramatic, meant to inspire tears of drastic beauty. Mana's project expresses its own fantasy world. Moi dix Mois has released 5 studio albums, numerous singles and has completed several concert tours, including European and North American appearances. This will be Moi dix Mois's first Sakura-Con.

Generating electicity in trains by applying breaks
An idea worth spreading
My idea is to use the motion of the train to generate power.
Generally trains move with uniform high velocities and they stop in particular stations.
The main purpose of break is to stop the train immediately or gradually.
In the case of trains they should stop at particular stations which are known in very advance,so here we can slow down the train gradually.
Now my idea is to install a gas turbine in the front block of train along with compressor,which opposes the motion of train in forward direction.
When the train is accelerating or speeding up, the front box carrying the turbine set-up should be in closed position,
When the train is needed to be slowdown or stopped we should open the door or shutter,of the front box, such that the turbine set-up will come into action creating heavy drag to stop the train.
Now when turbine runs the power can be generated and stored.
This power may not run the train,but to my knowledge it can meet the internal power requirements of the train...
